Happy Hounds Dog Resort was our savior! Jack and staff are very professional and accommodating. We were in a bind coming from NJ and they made Lexi feel right at Home. We could not have completed our vacation without them. We Highly recommend Happy Hound! read more

Awesome customer service, transparency and clear information made them the right choice!

They took great care of my 2 little dogs. The staff were kind and professional. They even had no problem giving my little girl her insulin twice a day. read more

We just picked up our two dogs from Happy Hounds following their second short stay here, and I could not rave more about the level of love and care these employees showed us and our pups. Every time I have called, Margaret made sure to answer all of my questions and ease my mind about having to leave them for the weekend. Additionally, I pulled up the webcams while on our trip, and I spotted an employee, on the ground with a group of dogs, just absolutely loving on all of our babies. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Took my 3 dogs here for the first time as they were recommended by my vets office. I was nervous as my 2 German shepherds are 'Covid' dogs and haven't been socialized as they could be. Brian and his staff were amazing. Brian took special time to work with my shepherds (my beagle happily joined the other dogs in the play area) as they were nervous especially my big boy. They went to the 'beach house' which is a huge area sectioned off from the main areas. It was a great piece of mind to be able to check up on them on camera. Brian and his staff show a great patience and understanding of dogs especially those who aren't as happy go lucky as others. I'm looking forward to taking them back for extended stays. read more

Happy Hounds takes loving care of the dogs who come for daycare or boarding. I have trusted the associates for six years and continue to with my newly adopted young dog. I don't think dog care gets better than this !! Thank you Happy Hounds (on Shirley). read more

Understaffed. When I was there multiple dogs were jumping over barriers and almost escaping. Staff was nice but definitely not trained to handle the amount of dogs there. Some days there are only one person on staff at a time. Really disorganized. Better to spend a little bit more on a nicer place for your fur babies. Honestly have no idea who this guy is but kind if shows how professional this place is airing out other customers business on an unrelated review lol. When I was there over a month ago (I think it was march) I saw many dogs jumping over barriers and only one person on staff other than the receptionist. I had my two dogs with me and decided to go somewhere else after the lady behind the counter was rude and I saw two dogs jump over the fence and the one employee running around trying to round them up. read more

From Margaret to Judith and everyone in between made my first time boarding my fur baby relaxing and reassuring. They took everything I said and worked with me and more so making sure Hendrix was comfortable. I definitely will be back for all future needs including training !!! read more

The staff is awesome and our dog loves going. Our dogs get excited when we tell her that we are taking her to play with her buddies. We are looking forward to working with Judith , we need some help with training . read more

We are huge fans of Happy Hound. The rates are very reasonable for dog boarding compared to the other similar places, especially if you buy a multi-day package. The facility is enormous, including a couple different play areas inside and a yard outside (all with cameras so you can check in during the day to see how your dog is doing). The individual dog rooms are plenty big as well. The staff is extremely nice (especially Margaret, who gave me the tour when I first stopped by to set up boarding) and are very careful to document everything your dog comes in with (food, bed, treats, loveys) so you get it all back when you pick them up, when they should get fed or get medicine, etc. I felt very confident Charlie was in good hands with them. read more

Happy Hound took care of our furry babies so well! They were so sweet and we could tell our two puppies had such a great time! Also the cameras are such a good idea, we were missing them and it was so nice to see them playing around. Don't ever question sending your dog here, just do it!! We have a 14 week old Catahoula lab & a three year old Schnoodle and they are so happy! read more

We have a little 1.5 year old boy who LOVES daycare! He has too much energy for us so we take him once a week to play with the other dogs and he has a GREAT time. The staff is excellent too and always gives him lunch for us. Needless to say we will continue to come here! P.S. this pic is Oakley after a LONG day of nonstop play read more

Happy Hound Dog Resorts - Pet Sitting Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Very, very clean facility with webcams available for checking in on your dog during the day. I haven't tried boarding here yet but so far daycare has been a good experience. The wednesday night free play dates are a great way to meet the staff and check out the facility. This is one of the few daycares I've seen to allow toys on the daycare floor. That worried me at first because my dog is super protective of (and tends to destroy) tennis balls. I warned them about it and they didn't bat an eye, said they were ready and that they keep so many balls on the floor that there's no chance for arguments. The one time my dog played a little too hard (He's a 76 pound muscle bound jerk sometimes) and scratched his head, they called me immediately to let me know. When I got there that afternoon the area had been shaved so they could clean it and make sure it wasn't bleeding. Excellent communication. read more

It was our first time boarding our pup and this place really helped calm our nerves. The staff was very nice, hands on, and involved in taking the best care of our guy Theodore. We loved being able to watch him on the live camera feed make new friends and gain more confidence. Thank you happy hound dog resorts for our stay! We will definitely be returning. read more

I was traveling through going to a bowl game in Jacksonville. I had my dog with me and needed a place for him to stay while I was at the game and went out afterwards. Happy Hound worked with me to make sure I could drop Odie off and pick him up and not disrupt my travel schedule, even though they had a 3-night minimum for the holiday. They refrigerated his food, which had pumpkin in it. He was very tired when I picked him up the next morning. They, even, sent me a free daycare pass for his birthday! I would recommend them as a regular dog care place and for a spur of the moment thing. read more

Took our dogs here for the first time today and they had a fantastic experience. I was able to watch them on the camera and saw the employees actively playing and loving on the dogs. Every employee we met today was very helpful and informative. We will absolutely be looking into a package for daycare. read more

Happy Hound Dog Resorts - These two had a fantastic day and are wore out - Pet Sitting Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My poor dog went there for two days and gladly will NOT be returning for any services. Managment, Happy Jack, is completely unprofessional. While dropping my dog off, he did not acknowledge or greet us. When it came time to pick up my dog he left a disturbing voicemail stating how he felt for caring for my dog and that i needed to come pick them up immediately. According to his fellow employees, Jack was having an "bipolar" day. which i completely understand if he was having a bad day however personal matters should not reflect on his place of business. He needs to work on his costumer service skills, Happy Jack isnt so happy. Thanks for the experience in spite of. read more

Our Go To kennel for boarding our fur baby! Great staff, very nice facilities, and being able to check in our our little one via the online video feed is great. We have never had an issue with the care and attention Cocoa receives when she is there. read more

I called to see if it was possible to get my German Shepherd a bath and brush. Even though it was last minute they happily fit her in. After about 1h15m, my dog was ready. They did an awesome job on her. She smelled good, had a soft coat, and didn't have the giant clumps of undercoat working out of her coat. The facility was huge and was clean. It didn't smell like dogs. The staff I spoke with were all very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of a dog grooming. read more

As always, our babies got great care & lots of love. We're fortunate to have this place so close to home.

I was able to get my dog in the same day I called. The staff was really friendly. Their facility is really clean with tons of room for dogs to play and socialize. Most other places will keep dog in cages until they get picked up. Groomers did a wooftastic job. I will continue to bring my dog to Happy Hound. read more

Happy Hound Dog Resorts - Thank you Happy Hound for grooming my dog! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We have been going to Happy Hound for their Parents and Paws nights on Wednesdays from 7-9 for the past few weeks. What a great time for both the furkids and their parents. The staff is very attentive to ensure all the pups on the floor are safely having fun. We also boarded our dogs at Happy Hound and they had a blast. With the open indoor play area and spacious boarding our two dogs had a great stay. Happy Hound also offers webcam service where you can check in on your pets while you are away from your mobile device or computer. The staff is knowlegeable and have the best interest of the dogs being treated like family. They go out of their way to ensure both the dogs and their owners feel welcome. With their experience and training they are the best in the area. They offer training, grooming, boarding, daycare and vet services in their 15,000 ft indoor facility. There is a 5000 ft rubberized open play area for the dogs as well as seperate areas for training, boarding and other services. If you need boarding, playtime or just a break check out Happy Hound Resorts for all your dog care needs. read more

My dog Forest loves Happy Hounds Dog Resort and so do I ! The folks that work there are friendly and caring and know each and every dog. Forest has been boarded there when I'm out of town, along with going to daycare a couple or so times a week. He just can't wait to get there to be with all his friends, four legged and two legged! read more

Happy Hound Dog Resorts - Fizz after a visit :) - Pet Sitting Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My German Pointer, Bismarck, LOVES Happy Hounds, and so do I! First and foremost, the facility is all indoors, which means the dogs still get to play in inclement weather. Also, the staff are so friendly and know my dog by name. There are cameras on the play areas so you can watch your pooch romp and play (and since I take so many trips and miss my doggie, this is a great feature!) The facility is clean, staff cleans up messes quickly as well. Dogs are truly loved here and everyone greets you and your dog with a smile. I feel safe leaving my dog here and will continue to use it! read more

I'm so sad we had to leave Jacksonville and therefore the best dog resort in the WORLD! They were so great to us, and most importantly, to our dog, Oliver! I know the little man misses his trip to Happy Hound, and we miss the awesome team there. Such a great local business that adds tremendous value to the community! We all miss you guys! read more

A very well run business with a staff who cares about your pups safety and well-being. I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else!

I almost don't even want to give one star to this place. I took my sweet baby to the Shirley location when he was little and it seemed fine. I took him back when the Beach blvd. Location opened and was so upset, every pet parents worst nightmare came true!!!!! My sweet puppy was attacked while in their care. I got onto to the sight because I had an odd feeling and their cameras were down, again. I got one of the young girls who told me that sh was just going to let me talk to her manager after asking if my baby was alright. As the phone was passed, clearly, I heard her state to the manager, don't worry she didn't see anything on the cameras, she's just calling as a worried pet parent. After that statement, the manager proceeds to begin telling me this event that was supposed to have taken place between my puppy and another dog but was friendly wrestling and my puppy got injured. When I went to pick my sweet baby up he couldn't get away fast enough. They took him away from all the other dogs saying it may be calmer for him, um what?.... My sweet boy ran into the windows trying to get away and out of there as fast as he could. Hen I got home to the car, he was shaking so badly and jump at every sounds I began to cry that I placed my puppy in harms way. I got a made up story of what happened, a half hearted apology and that was it like my pet wasn't a regular so who cares. I can promise you he never will be back. Beware of where you take your fuzzy children. Make sure that they are being cared for properly, that the staff is train on how to do so and there are enough of them to do so. I know the explanation I was given was in no way possibly true. My baby had several wounds and injuries and and he was checked out we were told he was attacked by more then one dog for sure by all of the marks and wounds. I don't think anyone was paying attention and none of the staff no what really happened. For that, and for my choice, my baby was very traumatized. He's still very hesitant to play with other dogs now and it breaks my heart. This is not even close to what I was promised for my special baby and the care he would get if he was trusted to your care. It still upsets me terribly. Just be safe and be sure you know what your doing and who you are trusting. Reply to Jack from Google------- *********My maiden name is Manning, my married name is Pace. Also, that would mean so much more if you had not already spoke to my husband the very next day, when he called to speak to the owner, about the entire event, and he got nothing more then a sorry and that they were looking into the girl they were blaming. Never once, during the entire conversation, did the owner (who I figure is yourself) or the managers, ever ask how our baby was, if he was checked out, was he better etc. Sadly, I think this is part of why this still upsets me so much that I it my dog in such a bad situation and didn't see what was lacking. Our sweet baby's name is Reagan. I am not sure if I a, more sad or disturbed that you didn't even know that. How many animals are attacked in your resort that you had no idea who we were if you truly wanted to make contact. No one did when it happened, after it happened, or the next day! Reagan was forgotten about in the blink of an eye and that breaks my heart!!!!! read more

I absolutely loved my experience with Happy Hound Dog Resorts! My Vivvy had a perfect time and I thoroughly enjoyed watching her play while I was on vacation! The prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional! The employees truly love these animals and have huge hearts for our fur babies! read more

My family and I were relocating from Tennessee to Puerto Rico. While we needed to get our vehicles and household items shipped we found Happy Hounds Dog resort and decided to keep our 3 Saint Bernard's/ Newfoundland there at the resort for a full week. I got to watch my babies on live camera daily. I saw how well the staff cared for my babies as well as all the other furbabies at the resort. Everytime I called they answered all my questions. I can see the staff are cleaning constantly and interact with all the dogs. The staff are wonderful. On top of the excellent service they provided me it was extremely affordable. I couldn't be any happier with the way my babies were cared for. If I could give 10 stars, I would!! I highly highly recommend Happy Hounds Dog resort and I would definitely bring my babies back if I need to. Guys, thank you so so much for everything!!! Love yall soo much!! Holly, Doug & Yogi read more

We have always had a great experience at Happy Hound Dog and highly recommend them! I rest easy knowing my dog is happy and in good care!

Our dog daughter loved it here! We've had her at other boarding facilities and I've never seen her come home as happy and calm as she did after her stay at Happy Hound! We will definitely be using them again! :) read more

We were very pleased with the care our 13 year old, elderly, blind chihuahua received at Happy Hound. We were sent pictures of him while we were out of town and he looked relaxed and happy and well taken care of. I would strongly recommend this service and place. read more

I read Tara N.'s review. I'm really sorry to hear about her poor pups nose. Separation anxiety can cause dogs to do crazy things. However, in defense of Happy Hounds, to others reading reviews, please note that she seems to not be too crazy about other places she takes her dogs to. She also gave a dog park a negative review. Happy Hounds is by far the best place we have ever found for boarding or daycare. I'm sure if had they had noticed her pup had injured it's nose they would have addressed it & called the owner. My recommendation to anyone considering using Happy Hounds for daycare or boarding would be to take advantage of their FREE Wednesday nite Parents & Paws events where they open the floor to the owners & their dogs to play, as well as meet the friendly staff & take a tour. In my opinion, boarding is stressful on any dog but we as dog owners can try & help alleviate that stress by making our pups familiar w/ the place they are going to be staying by bringing them for a trial daycare day or Parents & Paws night so that the dog/s has the opportunity to become familiar & comfortable w/ their new surroundings so when it's time to board them, it's not so stressful & scary to them. I know there isn't always the opportunity to check out a place before boarding, but in most cases, owners know at least a week in advance they are going to travel & board their dog so a trial run for a few hours at a new place is always a good idea. We bring our pups regularly to Happy Hounds & will continue to do so. If you are reading these reviews & trying to decide if this is a place for your precious family member, then again I recommend Parents & Paws night, or their 2hr introductory doggie daycare or just pop in for a surprise tour. Let Happy Hounds speak for itself. From a very picky person as to where I leave my dogs, I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed! read more

We've always taken our dogs here, but the quality of care has been on a downward trend. I got charged $30 for an exit bath and picked up my dog covered in dog poop. They need better staffing or set limits to the amount of dogs they care for at a time because they clearly can't handle the amount of dogs they take in. read more

Happy Hounds provides an amazing environment for your furry friends. We have used them on multiple occasions and absolutely love the staff and facilities. The Webcams are a great feature and are a fun way to see how the dogs are interacting. We have left our dogs for a weekend and over a week and had a great experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely loves the animals. The separate areas for different age levels is great as we have a shy 12 year old three legged dog and an more active 2 year old. On our extended vacation I called every day and they were never annoyed to give me an update. I am so thankful to have such a great facility so close to home! read more

Happy Hounds is the BEST! Brian and Jack, make it so easy to leave my sweet Mozart with them. When my husband deploys, I can't manage without their help! I'm so grateful for HH and it's amazing staff!! read more

I took my 3 furry children to Happy Hound and they resided for 12 days. The staff is ultra friendly and took the best care of our babies. When we picked them up they were happy and healthy tails wagging and lots of barking as they seemed so happy! All indoor and inclusive resort for your doggy. Air conditioning and cameras for viewing in the play areas. I recommend this resort to everyone with furry kids. They even have doggy daycare. I do not think we could find a better resort. Thank you Happy Hound our doggies loved it!!! read more
