I don't leave reviews often, but Duke's deserves one…read more I am a hypochondriac helicopter dog mom who spirals about every possible thing that could happen when leaving her dog. My dog is my lifeline and the most important being in my life, but I booked a nearly 3 week long Europe trip before I got him, and since the moment I brought him home I was stressed about finding someone I trusted enough to leave him with. The thought of him spending most of his day in a kennel at a traditional boarding facility honestly made it hard for me to enjoy the trip before it even started, especially because he doesn't tolerate well with being left alone and thrives on dog & human contact. I was sooo anxious to leave him! Finding Duke's was the biggest relief. From the very beginning, Alex was incredible. Before Tank's stay (and before I even committed to having him stay there while I was gone!), he had us do a complimentary daycare trial day so he could see how Tank interacted with the other dogs. Looking back, I think that trial was probably more for me than it was for Tank because Tank has always loved other dogs, but it gave me so much peace of mind and showed me how much Alex genuinely cares about making sure every dog is a good fit and feels comfortable. After that trial day, I knew duke's was the right choice! Alex treated him like one of his own the entire time. He knew it was Tank's first time away from me and went above and beyond to make both of us comfortable. Instead of wondering if Tank was okay, I got photos and videos throughout the day of him making friends, playing outside, cuddling with other dogs, and completely thriving. Every update made me smile What stood out most was how much Alex genuinely cares. Nothing felt transactional. You can tell he loves every dog in his care as if they're his own. As a dachshund owner, I especially appreciated the little things, like carrying Tank up and down stairs because he knows how important it is to protect his backs. That level of thoughtfulness is rare!! Seeing Tank in a cage-free environment, running around with friends and snuggling up for naps completely changed my perspective on leaving him while I travel. It honestly felt like he was away at puppy summer camp. At one point I realized I was probably missing him more than he was missing me For the first time, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my trip because I knew Tank was happy, safe, loved, and having the time of his life. I say this with my whole chest: I have never and will never trust a daycare more than Duke's. If you're an anxious dog parent looking for someone who will care for your dog the way you do, this is the place. Thank you Alex for taking such incredible care of my baby. Tank misses you already & can't wait to come back!!

I would strongly caution anyone considering Stardogs Doggie Daycare…read more My dog is a very high-energy, playful dog, but she has never been aggressive toward anyone or another dog. In fact, she is extremely submissive. That is precisely why I chose daycare in the first place--to give her an appropriate outlet for her energy and allow her to socialize and play. I was told she was "nipping" at other dogs and that they had to "keep the peace." Fine--if a dog is becoming overstimulated, I completely understand separating her temporarily and redirecting her behavior. What I do not understand is how you can call this appropriate care when you isolate the dog alone in a room for the majority of the day--and don't even bother to call the owner. They did this to my dog twice. She was left completely alone while the other dogs were playing. When I questioned this, I was actually told that she "couldn't hear the other dogs." That explanation is frankly ridiculous. Dogs have an extraordinary sense of hearing. Of course she could hear the other dogs playing. If anything, being isolated while hearing the other dogs play would understandably make a high-energy dog even more frustrated and distressed. The entire reason I brought her to daycare was so she could exercise, socialize, and burn off her energy--not sit alone in a room listening to everyone else play. What makes this even worse is the complete lack of communication. No one called me when this was happening. I had to find out afterward. I also asked multiple times for a manager to call me, and never received a call back. That speaks volumes about how seriously they take their customers' concerns. And then there are the cameras. They are supposedly there so owners can check on their dogs, yet the cameras never seem to work, leaving you with no way to see what is actually happening. Most concerning to me was my dog's behavior when I picked her up. She acted noticeably strange and, on the last visit, didn't even want to leave me. That was completely unlike her. I am not claiming my dog never gets overexcited. She is young, energetic, and can become overly enthusiastic during play. But there is a HUGE difference between appropriately managing an overstimulated dog and essentially locking her away alone for hours without communicating with her owner. If your solution to a high-energy dog is isolation, perhaps daycare isn't the appropriate environment for that dog in the first place. But the owner deserves to know immediately--not after the fact, and certainly not after repeatedly asking management for an explanation. The lack of communication, broken cameras, failure to return calls, and decision to repeatedly isolate my dog are completely unacceptable. I brought my dog there trusting them to care for her, and I no longer have that trust. I will not be bringing her back

It's like this every day. I attached a couple videos from different days. The videos are from the alley directly behind sunset barquis.

He is so excited to go and loves to greet all of the girls working there every morning! They are sooooo nice to my fur baby!!!! I am just so lucky that I found them! If you are considering it, DO IT! You won't regret it. They feed my baby breakfast lunch and dinner, walk him and make sure he drinks water. They post Instagram stories throughout the day and send me an email "pupdate" every afternoon that I can't wait to read!!! They also do a photo shoot for certain holidays and even did a birthday post last year for sausage! I have a dachshund and when he hurt his back (not at daycare) and had to be sedated and wasn't allowed to play they put him in an enclosed area covered in blankets and would go in to give him pets. When he couldn't find the water bowl at first, they had him on a watering schedule!!!! I mean this place is unreal. We also let sausage spend the night when we go on vacation and he gets to sleep IN BED with one of the girls because that's what he's used to at home. No crates (unless they want one)!!! Samantha sends the SWEETEST pupdates with the cutest videos of him getting good boy pets and almost every time I come pick him up he is sitting on Zoe's lap! They spoil him rotten but I wouldn't have it any other way! I can't thank sunset Barquis enough!!!!! Thank you for treating my baby as well as I do!!

Billie set very clear expectations from the start on how he works with dogs like mine - slowly introducing them to other dogs and walking me through his entire process. His energy is calm, professional and incredibly friendly. After just a few interactions, I felt confident my dog was in great hands and that this was the right fit for both his team and my pup. He offered a solution that works well for us and when I picked my dog up, she was happy, exhausted and clearly had a full day of healthy stimulation in the company of great humans and pups. I'm excited to continue bringing her here for daycare and boarding. I highly recommend this business - it's rare to find people who lead with honesty and truly prioritize the safety of the dogs and quality of service.
