Called trying to setup my 3 month old puppy with weekend boarding and the owner told me that they assumed the dog was a terror and wouldn't take a chance on it, without know anything about the dog or the amount of work that's been put into him. Said she was too tired. Recommend looking elsewhere for a business that runs based on ethics, not how "tired" they're feeling or assumptions based on zero information. read more
We recently got married in the Ozarks, and kept our two little Bichons at Dogs Day Inn. The owner is great and she is very flexible with picking up and dropping off. We dropped our dogs off on Thursday, picked them up Saturday morning and took them to the groomers (they were in our wedding), then dropped them back off Saturday night. They were in a little room that had a window and they were able to stay together for a discounted price. The establishment is very clean and well taken care of. We highly recommend this place. read more

Be warned! I read the great reviews for this establishment and decided would be great for a one night stay. Sounded great until she told me the price. Was $24.00 for a one night stay which is a little higher than I have ever paid but sounded like it would be worth it. However, she then told me it was $6.00 for every hour after noon and I probably wouldn't be there until around 5:00. So for a one night stay, it would be $48.00. I have never had t pay an hourly rate plus the nightly charge. She tried to explain that she would be unable to rent the room that night. This should just be the price of doing business to me. read more

Chewy Luvs Dogs Day Inn Dog Boarding My boy friend and I enjoy visiting the Lake of the Ozarks. But many of the hotels are not pet friendly and we don't want to leave Chewy alone while we are out having fun, so after searching the web we found Dogs Day Inn LLC. We visited the place and met the owner Lu before deciding on boarding here, the place was clean, no cages, and chewy made friends with a couple of other dogs playing outside first through the fence, then they all got to play together. We had a great weekend at the Lake and so did Chewy. From now on we will be boarding chewy at Dogs Day Inn anytime we are at the Lake of the Ozarks. read more

Has to be the Best place ever. We just moved Back here to the Lake, and had to do major renovations so our 4 babies had to be boarded, our dogs are our kids, they must must be loved and cared for, we had to leave them for 3 weeks, I was just in tears about leaving them for so long. But Lu the owner ( which now she is Grandma to the dogs). She gave them great care. When we mention ( let's go see Grandma) they all wag their tails and are ready to go. So to me if your dogs are excited about going, and happy to see Lu, well she is giving great care to our Babies. Thank you so much Lu . we all HIGHLY RECOMMEND. DOGS DAYS INN. read more

This place is great! We brought our dog here for the day and he came back very happy. They're very flexible with drop off/pick up times and our dog had a private room, no cage which was very important to me. read more

We took our 4 yr old chocolate lab here, because we usually take her to our vet for boarding and though she would enjoy more room and a yard to play in. Well when we dropped her off there were several dogs there barking like crazy...to be expected. However, not long after we hit the road for Texas we got a phone call that our dog was barking and would have to be given a natural sedative to calm her down and that we would be charged more per day. I wonder if the owners of the other dogs were also charged more as they were barking quite a bit while we were there. We found out when we picked our dog up that the lady that runs the place also sleeps in the building. No wonder she wanted to sedate the barking dogs. If you going to run a boarding kennel maybe you shouldn't sleep in the building or wear ear plugs. read more

History
Established in 2006.
I started my business in 2006 at 3 Hallie Ln, Kaiser Missouri, with the concept of cage free dog boarding and make the dogs feel like they are at home. I provide 24 hour care and while sleeping in my house I have monitor to listen to the original boarding facility. On February 1st of this this year, I opened my new boarding facility at 205 Blue Ridge Rd, Kaiser, Missouri. The new facility has windows in many of the rooms and I am adding more all the time. I still monitor the dogs at night remotely and I am in the facility most of the time.

We have been taking our bulldog to Dogs Day Inn for several years now. We feel very lucky to have found this place. Lu is so amazing. We feel so lucky to have found a person to take care of our dog that cares just as much as we care. When we first moved to the Lake area from Los Angeles, CA we did not know where to take her. After several bad experiences in the Lake area, Kansas City, and Overland Park Kansas. Yes!!! We went as far as Overland Park to board our pup in trying to find the best place where she would be taken care of without any negligence and no stress. We almost gave up and than we found Dogs Day Inn (She was highly recommended by one of our clients) We feel so blessed to have found this place. I feel like I am taking my dog to a family member that cares. I travel without stress knowing that she will be stress free, safe and in a place where she will not be ignored. Lu takes great pride and notices every detail of my dogs needs, from her appetite, water intake, to her potty breaks and activity level. I know she is on top of it and I have not found that anywhere. This place is clean and safe. It is all you need for your dog to be safe, happy and stress free. Thank you Lu for all you do! Your knowledge of dogs and the love you have for them is a great gift and it is hard to find. I wish there were more business owners that care like you do. Thank you Dogs Day Inn!!!

We have been taking our Boxer Mollie to Dogs Day Inn for about 4 years now. Before then we had checked around at kennels like a person does for a child sitter. All we could find was cramped cages and the smell was like dirty dogs. They told us the animals would only be let out of the cages at certain times, which was not often enough. Then I was in Quail Valley Vet Clinic and someone had left a flyer in there for Dogs Day Inn in Kaiser Mo. I asked about it in the Clinic and they said the lady that left the flyer there was very picky with her two pets and she was VERY satisfied. So I being picky also called Lu the owner. We went down for a tour and we were really impressed. The area where she has the animals are partitioned off ROOMS, just like little bedrooms. And very clean, it did not smell of animals. And another thing that I like is that Lu is right there with them most of the time and she has a baby monitor so she can hear them if she is not in the same building. She also lets them out very frequently to go potty and get a little exercise. She treats the animals llike they are her own. This is the only place we will EVER take our pets. We have about a 40 minute drive to Dogs Day Inn but it is worth it just knowing we don't have to worry about our pets while we are away. Thanks so much Lu.

Yelp how about we do a review of you***** you just plain suck**** - why do you keep the only bad review from Colette Y as recommended - this just proves Yelp is biased. For people reading this review just scroll down to the other 15 positive reviews that are NOT recommended by YELP but should be read anyway. I'm frustrated with Yelp and below is the reposting of my wife's review and I will repost every time it get pushed down to not recommended. We picked up our dogs today after a 4 day stay at Dogs Day Inn. We returned to find happy and well cared-for fur kids, and we were equally happy with the service Lu provided. Whenever I texted her to check on the dogs, she promptly replied with an update. She made us feel at ease so that we could enjoy our time away. Thank you Lu, you are a gem! read more

We have boarded our 12 year old golden here at least 6 times maybe more, sometimes for as long as 2 weeks when we lived full time near Osage Beach MO. (We just recently moved to GA) I can't say enough about the wonderful care Lou, the owner has given our dog. She even calls us as we have requested to give us an update on our baby or we can always call her. She treats her with great kindness and love. Never have heard or witness any mistreatment of any dogs while in Lou's care. Always clean and maintained. She has never sedated our dog nor has requested to do so. I would recommend Dog Days Inn to board your dog without hesitation. Tom Gainer read more

I don't know why you filtered my review. This business is very clean and the lady is so good with the animals. I looked and you have also done filtering to approx. 10 other people who have used this service. I think Yelp is being paid by someone to publish certain things. I am really upset with Yelp. You have left only one review on this site and if you check she also had a bad review the same day at a restaurant, so it is perfectly clear the lady was having a bad day. I think you should reconsider some of the reviews you have filtered and be fair with everyone. Thanks read more

We've been customers for 4+ years and they have always been very accommodating, even in times when we gave short notice for boarding our dog. The owner is very pet friendly and conscious of the dogs to make sure they are comfortable, safe and well taken care of. There are no cages, but rather half wall partitions to separate the dogs. Our dog is not kept in a cage at home, so the environment makes our dog feel closer to home. We highly recommend using Dogs Day Inn for your next pet's destination while you are out of town. read more

I have taken my 6 year old Beagle mix to her multiple times over the last several years. My dog unlike most has a history of herniated disc in his low back which causes him to be paralyzed when it gets really bad. Therefore I do not leave him with anyone that I don't trust 100%. She has always been great with him, and I am grateful that she even accepted him into her facility. He is a timid dog who needs lots of attention and love, and I have always felt that he was taken care of and treated like one of her own. read more

We have a yellow lab. We've taken her to Dogs Day Inn in Kaiser Mo. for at least 4 years. We usually take her with us, but sometimes you just can't. We've never had a bad experience. We treat our dog as part of the family and when we pick her up she is always happy (just the way we dropped her off). I would recommend this boarding facility to anyone who truly cares for their pet. We appreciate the extra care given by the owner (Lu) and will continue to use this facility when needed. read more

I love this place. I feel so fortunate to have found her. Because she lives near by, she has had flexible hours with me that I appreciate very much do to how late I could be getting into town and the fear that it might close before I'm able to pick up my dog and I'd have to go to work. My dog wasn't boarded in a cage, but a cute little room-like a stable. This place is great for my dog :) read more

We now have two dogs that Lu takes care of and she does an wonderful job. I really love the way she loves our dogs! It is obvious they are well treated. I left our 2 dogs for 10 days and they looked as good and happy when we got back as when we left. We check on the dogs by text and always get a prompt response. I honestly would never go elsewhere unless Lu is full. read more

Dogs Day Inn is the only place we will leave our black lab! The dogs safety is their main concern, and they get personalized attention throughout the day. She really cares about each dog, and the rooms are always spotlessly clean! No worries here :) read more

We have know and used Lou for several years. It is a great place for dogs and the owners can be assured they are well taken care of.
