This place is amazing. I have two Vizslas that I take to Fetch 3 days per week. I also board my dogs there when we travel. The people who work there actually LOVE dogs. My fur babies get so excited to see everyone whenever I drop them off. Kim (owner) and Heidi (manager) are super helpful and responsive. They have different themed activities every week to keep the dogs entertained and stimulated. They post lots of videos on IG so you can see what the dogs are doing. My dogs come home tired, happy and a little stinky from playing all day with other dogs. read more

I recently adopted a brand new puppy. I heard this would be a great way to socialize him with other dogs as he is a growing boy. To my utter disbelief I learned that they allowed my dog to eat his own . As claimed on your website, this academy "helps them become calmer, more well-behaved pets at home and happier overall." This claim is false. Additionally, upon arrival I was yelled at, claiming that this was my fault? This academy is a sham...find a better place to take your fur babies. read more

We've been bringing our pup Felix here for a little over a year now for weekly daycare and occasional overnight visits. The staff are great and Felix is always excited when we arrive. It is also nice to have a happy, tired pup at the end of the day. read more

I hate to leave my dogs at any kind of boarding facility. I just hate it. That is why I'm so glad I found Fetch. Kim and her staff totally understood my craziness and took the time to walk me through what a stay at Fetch would be like. I was really impressed with the facilities and the plan they have for keeping the dogs occupied during their stay. I also really liked the sleeping areas they have because they are much more open than is typical and more than large enough so that my dogs can sleep in the same area. As you might expect, I had some really explicit instructions about feeding (at the time, my guys were on different food and due to their sizes ate different amounts). No one at Fletch even batted an eye. They accommodated me and followed my feeding plan to the T. While I was on my week long trip, Kim was very responsive to emails and made sure I got a daily update the first couple of days just so that I knew Otis and Kerouac were doing great. I really appreciated this personal touch. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather have my dogs stay than Fetch. read more

My boyfriend and I have a 4 month old Dachshund puppy and we're in need of some doggy daycare. We live near Mooresville and commute to Bloomington (him) and Carmel (me). We're very picky about who cares for our baby so during lunch today I stopped by to check this place out. My first impression is extremely positive. The play areas are spotless. The dogs don't have to run around on concrete - the floor has a nice rubber mat type of covering. There are plenty of crates so that when a visitor or new dog arrives, everyone can be safely put away. The dogs are separated into groups, by size and the rooms are large enough to accommodate the dogs. The owner, Ray, was kind enough to take some time to explain to me what they do and how they care for the dogs. This is not just a place to drop off the dog and let them run wild while you work, they actually take the time to work with and train the dogs! They limit daycare to about 25 dogs or so in order to maintain a clean space and give dogs personalized treatment. I realize pricing is a huge concern for many - it is for me. But when I asked them about their daily rate and how its nearly double some places you can find, Ray basically summed it up in saying that our pets will be treated well and not simply left to do whatever they please for the course of a day. I feel like I can really trust that Arnie will be in good hands and he'll receive wonderful socialization and training from the employees. I'll report back after his first day but I have a feeling the price will certainly be worth it read more

Our little cocker spaniel spent a week in puppy school at Fetch and we were very impressed! Ray is a very intuitive Dog Trainer and gave us practical advice for every day. Chewy will look forward to when he can go spend time at Fetch again. read more

I have spent a lot of time and money on training my dog. That being said, I spent five minutes alone with Kim and she was terrified of my dog and without further observation recommended that I put my dog on an anti-anxiety medication. Any true professional would have been able to actually use their skills as a trainer to address these issues. Fortunately, I ignored this and by taking my dog to a place that specializes in training, I was able to have a happy healthy dog. And no one was afraid of him. Just because a place looks pretty, doesn't mean there's anything pretty about it. If you are looking for a real place for training, and people who actually know about dogs, try First Friend K-9. You'll be much happier. read more

We are new to Indy and found this place for doggie-daycare: our Stella loves it here! My only wish would be to have a large outside area for her to run-she loves to run, and there's not much room inside for running. Staff is spectacular!! Will highly recommend to anyone! read more

Kim and her staff go above and beyond in the care of my puppies and i would never trust anyone else when it comes to boarding or training.

Today I picked my puppy up after the FIRST day here, and they inform me that she was bit in the face by another dog. My dog plays and gets along with any other dog and even the people that work there admitted this was an unprovoked attack. Come to find out, it was the OWNERS dog that big mine! Apparently an old and arthritic dog. Who cares. If your dog is old and arthritic and bites other dogs why is it allowed to hang out at your dog daycare??? They also tell you when you visit that big dogs are kept away from the smaller, under 20lb dogs. My dog is 4 months old and definitely under 20lbs, yet when I went to pick her up I was greeted by multiple 50+lb dogs... And her. All running around together. So clearly there is no separation and it's no surprise my dog was attacked. But by the owners dog which is apparently known to be mean. That is just negligent. Very disappointing that they would lie like that. read more

We used them for over Christmas (just now getting time to review). It worked out great. Not only did my two dogs share a room, but they got to play with other dogs. My dogs didn't seem as stressed when we picked them up as when we pick them up from boarding with the vet. They even got a bath before we picked them up which was nice. The staff seemed really nice. We will plan to use them from now on for our dogs! read more

My dog has been going to Fetch for 5 years...he loves it so much that we have to spell F E T C H, otherwise he goes berserk with excitement! The owner is hands on, there everyday, and awesome! She knows every dog ...what they like, what they need, their play style, etc. Same for the staff, they're all very nice and personable and do whatever they can for you and your dog. read more

My husband and I recently adopted a new puppy. Because we work full-time with a rather long commute to downtown Indianapolis each day, we knew that this would be a challenge for us. Keeping a puppy in a kennel all day by herself was not my idea of being a good parent to that puppy. A neighbor of ours recommended Fetch Academy. She takes her dog there and spoke quite highly of it. We decided to try it out and couldn't be happier. The daycare is a full day for our Lexi of playing and interacting with both adults and other dogs. Some places offer "day care" but it doesn't include all day interaction with the other dogs. You have to pay EXTRA for that. At Fetch, it's all inclusive. The dog to staff ratio is perfect, allowing each dog that one-on-one attention, if they need it. Another positive feature to me is that each dog is taken out regularly for potty breaks. If they are newly potty-trained (as our puppy was) then this certainly helps to keep them on track of "going outside." I highly recommend the Puppy Training for a few weeks. The trainer, Ray, really does a great job and the communication that he provides is very helpful. It's a great way to get a puppy on track with socializing and interaction with others. The Staff at Fetch is absolutely fantastic. It has a bit of that mom and pop feeling and indeed, it is not a franchise that I know of. The actual owner is there every morning to greet all the dogs as they arrive. The affection that all of the staff shows to each and every one of the dogs (even the grumpy ones) truly makes one feel good about leaving their pet there. We've also boarded Lexi there and we are quite satisfied. Boarding includes the interactive daycare, so the price is right when considering that. One can leave their dog there, knowing that they are getting a lot of attention and not stuck in a cage the whole time. The weekend drop off/pick up hours are EXTREMELY convenient, as well as the late pick-up throughout the week. I really can't say enough good things about Fetch Academy. We feel very lucky to have found it! Not to mention what a well-rounded, socialized happy dog we are getting as a bonus. read more

I regret to let my dog staying in this day care. The staffs are liars and make up stories to cover their mistake. Also, they refused to babysit our dog just because of discrimination. In addition, the grooming service was horrible. After the grooming, inside my dog's ears were very dirty. So I pointed it out to the manager and asked them to take care of it. Although the manager promised to take care of the problem, the dogs' ears were so dirty. What a waste of money to pay for a horrible service. I will NEVER bring my dog back there as well as recommend this place to nobody else. Who knows what they did to our dogs after we walked out the door. My dog behaved differently (nervous, scared and sad) on the last day he was at the day care. Don't bring your dog there if you truly love your dog. This business should be closed since they're not trust worthy. Very disappointed. read more

We were so impressed with the TLC given to our puppy while boarding at Fetch. We left for spring break (a 10 day trip) and our dog got sick within the first couple days. Kim, the owner, took her to the vet, fed her a special diet, texted with daily updates and pics, and kept her with her the entire week. We couldn't have felt any better about the care she was given. We will always use Fetch for daycare and boarding! read more

I have 3 shetland sheep dogs. 2 males with reddish color fur, and one female that is sable and white. My female has very coarse fur, sheds a ton, and mattes very easy. I have been taking care of my father who is very sick and didn't have the time to stay on top of grooming. So, when I took her up to FETCH to get her groomed she was a mess, and I let them know that ahead of time. I dropped my dog off at 9:45am, and the girls at the desk were very welcoming. I told them that I knew that she was a mess, and apologized. Also, I asked them for a quote for boarding all 3 of my dogs for the weekend. I went back at 3:45 pm to check on her, and she still wasn't finished. That is when I ran into Kim(the owner). She informed me that my dog was very stinky, and asked me if my other 2 dogs were as stinky as this one. I said no, but she kept going on and said that if my other 2 were as stinky then I would be charged for a bath if I was going to board them there. She did this in front of her other employees. She was very rude! After, I called and talked to her on the phone about being so rude, and she acted like she could care less so I told her that I didn't need the quote. FETCH had my dog from 9:45am-5:45pm and hadn't even trimmed her yet. We were sick of waiting for them to get done, and went and picked her up. They charged me $90 for a job that wasn't complete. Kim has a terrible attitude and I will NEVER go back . I guess she could care less because I am only one customer, and mean nothing. read more
