We have used Dog Walking Pals for years. Every dog walker has been competent and kind to our dogs…read more We have one dog who is a challenge- with a combination of retirement and COVID insecurities. The owner Cindy worked with us and our dog to get our dog ready for us to be gone on vacation. She made sure she was the dog walker for the eight days we were gone, so our dog had one less challenge to deal with. I cannot say enough good things about this business! This is also a woman and veteran owned business. We highly recommend Dog Walking Pals!!

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE. I brought my dog for daycare almost every Monday for the last 6 weeks…read more I dropped him off 2/12 and he was super energetic and lively, when I pick him up around 5:30pm he was drooling and could barely walk out the door. I rushed him to an emergency vet 12 mins away and they told me he had a 106 fever and a lung infection and was borderline septic. After a few days at the hospital his body was not responding to antibiotics and I had to make the difficult decision to put him to sleep. I asked multiple different veterinarians in this process if I had been notified earlier when his behavior first changed if it would have helped his outcome and all agreed that it absolutely would have. When the manager at rover retreat contacted me after I voiced my frustration upon my dog's initial hospital stay, she only stated the staff gave a note to the front desk and the front desk failed to notify me. That the front desk personnel had been reprimanded and retrained, and then offered a refund for my one day of day care. If any of the staff had voiced a concern they should have followed up and in this case if my dog was this bad off the staff should have demanded I come get him. None of this happened, and now my seemingly healthy 2 year old lab is no longer with us. The lack of accountability and oversight clearly shows the staff at this doggy daycare are not properly trained or have no care for the animals they are put in charge of, my dog was suffering for at minimum the last few hours he was in their care, with no communication to me about it.

I have significant concerns about Rover retreat's business practices and/or staff training…read morefollowing my border collie's daycare evaluation day. In short, the staff told me that my dog, Leader, passed her evaluation and had a great day. Her tracking collar indicated she was inactive for all but two hours of the day. When pressed on this, the staff finally admitted as much but insisted she would be welcome to come back. Clearly, Leader was not a good fit for this daycare, as she was separated for the vast majority of the day (6+ hours). But if I did not have tracking data to spur questions, I never would have gotten past this initial story. A charitable explanation would be that the staff was disorganized. Alternatively, they just lied. Furthermore, it is clear that Rover Retreat lacks basic knowledge of dog behavior. Even though they ultimately told me that my dog had to be separated entirely from the play group due to rough play in the morning and again in the afternoon, resulting in only about 1.5 hours of total play with other dogs all day, they assured me this was going well and that Leader would benefit from more opportunities at this training. That's nuts. Two experiences in a trial day where your dog needs to be separated makes it incredibly clear that this is not a good match for the dog. It is clear that a lot of this mismatch was due to the space's layout, which would put my and other dogs like it into a frenzy. I had informed staff multiple times before and upon check-in that my dog, while great with other dogs, is barrier and leash reactive. If she goes by many other dogs behind a barrier on the way to a play space, obviously she will react and then interact poorly with the dogs she ultimately sees off leash. I manage this at dog parks through use of sausages until we get to the gate as a lure and by assessing her behavior before we go in to ensure this is going to be a good day (if not, we just go home). This is all basic dog training which Rover Retreat staff should understand. The staff assured me they could work with this. But in peeking through the windows while waiting for my dog upon checkout, I saw that the indoor play area requires a dog to walk by a whole line of kennels of dogs. The back yard is similarly crowded. My dog has done very well in facilities with much more thoughtful layout. This one is honestly 10x worse than the shelter at which I got her. For a dog like mine, this was an absolute nightmare. But yet even after coming clean on how badly the day went, the staff had either the shamelessness or the lack of knowledge to tell me that they were confident this went well. They seriously need the help of behavioral professionals. My advice for owners: if you choose to bring your dog here, demand a tour or pictures. And ask hard questions to ensure you are getting a clear story. My advice for Rover Retreat: don't mislead about how days went for dogs that have tracking collars. It's embarrassing. And hire a behaviorist to do an audit of all your practices. You owe the community basic standards of professionalism.

More often than not, i have to call another groomer to book a simple appointment.

We've been bringing our Bernese Mountain Dogs to Canine's Canyon (the "Canyon") for 18 years…read more Virtually since they opened. We began using them for daycare, to socialize our guys while we were at work. then we began boarding them there - I think the longest stay was days? Then we started having them groomed there too, lol - now we're talking full service! Obviously we've known nearly everyone who's worked there . Our opinion? They are simply The Best. Our big guys Levi & Noah get so excited when my husband asks if they want to go to the Canyon , that Levi starts squeaking and they both dance around maniacally . I brought our new puppy Micah in just so the owners and crew could meet him - twice! We'd give them 10 stars if we could. The few critical reviews I've seen are unfathomable and contrary to all I've known in our _thousands_ of experiences.

I can't recommend Nicole enough if you're looking for a dog walker in Colorado…read more She worked with my four dogs for about four years, three Bernedoodles & Basset Hound, and honestly became a huge part of our lives. My dogs are at different stages in life- age, energy, just different needs, and she really understood that. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all workout. Two of them needed to lose some weight, and over time I saw real progress. They had more stamina and just seemed happier. With four dogs... things can get chaotic fast. Having Nicole workout my dogs regularly made a big difference. They were calmer, better behaved, and just easier at home because they were getting the right kind of exercise. She made my life so much easier. I never had to worry. I trusted her completely with dog walks, adventure hikes, and overnight pet care. That kind of consistency is hard to find. We truly miss her. If you want someone dependable who really cares and understands dogs (especially if you have multiple with different needs), Nicole's the best.

This is the only place we will bring our dog…read more We've boarded and brought her to doggy care for the last few years. We started coming in April of 2023 when we needed a last minute place to board her for Easter weekend. What drew us to Zen Doggy Den is that we didn't have to pay extra for outdoor time which was a plus for boarding. We've boarded her a few times since then. But mostly for doggy daycare now. It's nice when there's something going on at the house like construction or anything like that. We can drop her off in the morning and then pick her up. She really enjoys her time there and seems like a happy pup. She's a senior dog so I think she just loves getting out of the house and getting to interact with others. Definitely recommend this place for dog boarding and doggy daycare. Thank you for always taking such good care of our Lilly girl.
