Queensgate Kennel is what heaven must be like, not only heaven for our dog but for owners as well…read more Our puppy is so excited to go to day care everyday, he whines when the stoplight turns red on our way to Queensgate Kennel, and coming home to a tired puppy has been a godsend. Our pup has been boarding and going to day care here for the past 9 months and we could not be more pleased with our experience. With a rambunctious little puppy, we found it hard for him to get his energy out while we were at work all day. Day care provides a constructive way for him to get his daily exercise. The owners Brandon and Dave have been so helpful in teaching us and keeping us informed on our puppy's behaviors. They are always so nice and friendly and willing to help us with training. By sending our dog to Queensgate Kennel, it has made home life so much easier. Our dog is leaning how to social with a variety of dogs, listen to new commands, and appropriate behaviors as he continues to grow. I have recommended Queensgate Kennel to coworkers, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to send their puppy to daycare/boarding.

The dog we currently have is pretty difficult to please. She doesn't like much if she isn't;t with her family. She does really well at this kennel. Brendan knows her and lets her hang out with the smaller dogs (she's medium sized). She doesn't bother anyone and they don't bother her. She is in good spirits when we pick her up. We will continue to use Queensgate as long as we have a dog.

My one pup, little (very little) was a rescue and had lots of anxiety about new things. She literally jumps into their arms when we take her. The big dog, very big, started going to daycare as a 6 month old. She grew up at paws to play and had her share of accidents...she was a goofy pup that ran into things when she played. The staff took such good care of her and helped her grow into a well behaved, loving adult dog. Since we work at home, Paws to Play has allowed us to work and keep the doggies happy and exercised! THANK YOU!

My experience with Paws to Play has been terrible. I originally called to schedule and find out the…read morerequirements for my 1yr old lab/retriever mix to come occasionally for daycare when I am in town for work. She loves the dog park and any chance she gets to play with other dogs, so we felt daycare would be a great option for her during long work days. Paws to Play told me to schedule my dog for a fecal test and then to let them know when I did that and they would get me scheduled for the daycare introduction. I was also told often times, they are able to schedule intros "day of." The next day I submitted a sample for my dogs fecal test and then called Paws to Play back to set up an intro date. I then was told they wouldn't schedule the intro until they received my dogs results. So already, they contradicted them selves. Once I sent over her fecal test results, I called again to schedule the intro. My call was not returned, and instead I was sent an email from Ame giving me no options but one intro date and time on a Tuesday, which also happened to be over a week from the date I submitted the test results. I told her I was not able to do that date and she gave me a Friday date instead (almost 2 weeks from when I submitted the results). I agreed for that appointment and asked for them to please let me know if there were any cancellations earlier and I would try to make it work. She advised me there would not be any cancellations and she would keep me on the Friday appointment. I'm not sure how Ame could have told the future, but I agreed. A few days before our intro appointment I was schedule for a work meetingfrom 9-10am. Our intro was schedule for 9:30am. I called asking if it were possible to adjust our appointment to 10am, and specifically asked for a call back. Again, I was not called back and received another email from Ame stating that was not possible and that they would just need to cancel the appointment all together. I responded saying I would arrange for a family member to bring my dog at 9:30 and I would be picking her up after. The day of the intro came and my mother took my dog to the appointment. My dog is afraid of the vet after her spay surgeries, and upon arriving at the daycare she obviously assumed she was going to the "vet." She slipped out of her leash and ran to the car. Paws to Play then informed my mother they would not be able to take my dog for an intro because she "had too much anxiety." My mother informed them that once my dog went inside and realized she was at daycare with other dogs, and this was not the vet, she would be perfectly okay. Paws to Play again said no and continued by telling my mother how anxious my dog was and how it would take "45 minutes to calm her down" should she be allowed to come inside. They stated I would need to schedule some "meet and greets" which would include my dog sitting in the lobby for 10 mins multiple times while someone comes out and pets her and gives her treats. They told my mother they would give me a call. Later that day I again did NOT receive a call, and instead Ame emailed me to tell me they had issues with my dog, she was "under too much stress," and I would need to schedule the meet and greets. I declined. Overall, every single interaction I have had with Paws to Play was ridiculous. It's also extremely unprofessional that I couldn't even get a call back any of the times I reached out a left a message, and instead they chose to email me, despite specifically asking for call backs. What poor business etiquette. You would think individuals who work with dogs daily would be skilled enough to recognize dogs have fears just as humans do, and would allow for a dog to come into their appointment for the opportunity to see daycare is not the vet. And lastly, please don't tell people scheduling is likely to happen "same day" if you are going to schedule them weeks out, and then be so readily willing to cancel their appointment all together when they request a time adjustment.
