However, my dog was bitten once and a second time given back to me with a laceration on her left side and I was given no explanation as to why. When I brought this up to one of the owners immediately upon seeing it, I was told, "Maybe she's not a good dog for this environment" After some thought, I would say that owner is correct. I'm not keeping my dog at a place that has too many dogs to keep eyes on and gives dogs back to owners with lacerations on them. Google research this place before you decide to take your dog there

I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.

My dog can't play with other dogs so I liked that he got to do something fun each day. One time I picked him up and he was covered in pee - which tells me they were not giving him enough chances to go to the bathroom. Not to mention, he was supposed to receive an exit bath which clearly didn't happen. I had to throw out everything and immediately come home and bathe him. They also forgot to send home his medication. I spoke with the owner, he apologized and offered a free exit bath next time. Since they still had his meds I decided to give it one more chance. I dropped him off for boarding and when I went to pick him up no one was at the front desk so I waited. I could hear someone screaming in the back and loud banging noises. Finally she came up to the front desk sweating and looking disgruntled (like she was just yelling at dogs). She saw my face of shock and she put on a smile and was overly nice and complimenting me. She went to go get my dog and when she was in the back she AGAIN started yelling and banging on something telling the dogs to "shut up!!!" I got my dog and left asap. She is not the type of person you want to leave your dog around - her anger towards them was scary. Dogs bark - that's just how it goes. There was nothing to make me believe the dogs were doing anything wrong other than barking because she was primarily yelling at them to shut up and be quiet (as if that would help). DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE! You have no idea how they are being treated and if she would do that knowing someone was standing right on the other side of the door - what would she do when no one is watching?

I called to confirm my appointment. The man I spoke with said that the girl was off on a field trip and she didn't write anything on the schedule for the appointment. If a company is that absent minded that they forget to write down and appointment I wouldn't feel save leaving my pet there. If you can forget something like an appointment, will you forget to feed my dog or walk her or make sure she is safe. If I can't count on you to do something as small a write down and appointment then I damn sure wont trust you with my dog. The sad part is I really thought I found a business that cared, but guess not. Glad to find this out before I left my dog with people that are so unreliable. Leave your pet at your own risk.

I have moved to different neighborhoods and so have experienced different dog walkers during my time with the company. The walkers are arranged by neighborhood rather than individual - so if you move you will most likely get a different walker. They have uniform shirts that they can wear during your dog walks. I have had only one issue with one of the walkers that I had assigned to me, which was resolved swiftly by management. All of the walkers are bonded & insured. They send text updates with updates during their visit. Cancellation policy is fair and you have the ability to tip your walker.
