I am a very honest reviewer and honestly honestly, I'm a very difficult reviewer…read more I have done so many reviews of various places, and I've usually been disappointed with a service in this country and the level of food for example . Let me do a review of this place now and I hope you listen as I am not sponsored in any way shape or form for this review . I need difficult time finding other places to watch my dog. Too many of the dog kennels had people running it. They were running, ragged, unprofessional, and unwilling to work with me. Then I came upon this place . I visited the place looked at the reviews, and actually had a chance to talk to a customer that had used them in the past.. The customer had glowing reviews of this place . I was still kind of hesitant, but we decided to board our precious dog at this place. She is my service dog as well, but I could not take her with me on this long journey that I went on. I had changes and requests beyond normal. I thought they would become angry in response and it was my fault. I was pleasantly surprised with how quick and direct the communication was. They were soooo accommodating and it eased my mind. They helped and were so kind in how they responded. Our dog also eats a raw diet, which is about twice the amount of food as normal due to digestion because it's raw she needs to eat more. We do this diet, not just because of health reasons, but because it keeps her teeth perfectly white and clean. they were able to accommodate her special diet. I think they were not used to doing before because most people feed their dog kibble. Even when we picked her up, everybody was so nice to us and how they spoke with us and treated her very kindly as well as us. We will definitely be using them again. I can't say that about the other places we've used in the past of all. All those other places actually treated us like they didn't need us. They were unwilling to accommodate in any way shape or form, and we're demanding. Please consider using this place above the others and yes, we even visited the place down the street and we're unwilling to deal with that place with how they treated us. This place is not very expensive, but even if they raise their prices some we would still use them. Thank you!

One of my dogs is fearful of everything and doesn't like to leave home. He happily goes to Happy Campers. I think he enjoys the free time he gets and the friends he meets at camp. I'm sure my other dog runs around like he owns the place. The young ladies who run the office have always been friendly and accommodating. I always apologize because I know my dogs are high maintenance but they just laugh it off and say our dogs are good. They have also gone above and beyond to try to get my dogs to eat. We appreciate being able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our dogs at all.

Before that, we enjoyed dog parks and meeting other dogs and their owners on our daily walks. She became aggressive during puberty. The Vet said let's wait to see what happens after the spay. Jade got more aggressive, not less. Desiree is a dog whisperer. When we met at our consultation, Desire walked into my backyard, and Jade snarled and bounded across toward her. I almost fainted watching my huge dog running toward her. Desiree did her trainer thing, and Jade completely relaxed. I watched Jade become putty in her hands within minutes, and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. The training was detailed and extensive. My dog responds to me when I call her with a quiet "hey" when she starts to play with my cats or go towards the kitchen. She places in the house even when guests arrive, or someone rings the doorbell. Her PICA (eating non-food items) is almost completely gone. ( Jade is s/p a life-threatening bowel obstruction after eating a towel) She went to the dog park and played with a Golden until her energy was spent a few days ago. I can play with her off-leash and have confidence in my abilities to communicate with her. A couple of weeks after the training, Jade all of sudden began to be triggered by the satellite dishes and telephone polls on our walks. Well, you can imagine how difficult it became with aggressive barking and then refusal to move. I called Desiree, and she drove the 20 miles to my house immediately. She offered some recommendations, which I applied right away and I could see that the initial onslaught of fear dissipated over a couple of weeks. Desiree is professional, prompt, clear, and is phenomenal with dogs. It's been 8 months since training and Jade is an amazing companion. Thank you, Desiree

I cannot say enough great things about the staff and the business as a whole

I was recommended Dogtopia due to location, friendly staff, and webcam access…read more Pros: Friendly staff at the front. Automatic payment and easy app to navigate. Smooth drop off/pick-up if it's not during the rush. Signage on the lobby door for only one dog/family in the lobby at one time, which is very helpful for reactive dogs. lots of parking spots. Cons: Costs are high. They used to allow us to roll over any days not used for the week/month for free but that changed abruptly with little verbal notice. staff/coaches working in the playrooms not so great. Multiple times I have seen on the webcam, staff ignoring certain dogs, carelessly spraying cleaning chemicals on dogs while cleaning, and not cleaning after dogs. I've had multiple instances in which another parent was given my dog or I was given the wrong dog at pick up. Recently I noticed the webcam feed would go up later and turn off earlier. I used to be able to watch as early as 7:45am and late as 6:30pm but sometimes I won't see anything until 8:30am and the feed will turn off at 6pm. Webcams all go offline from 12-2pm for dogs to rest and/or eat their lunch/meds, and staff to clean. No outdoor area for dogs to play or relieve themselves. The owner Cindy has confirmed during my meet and greet that many dogs have regressed on their potty training if they are trained to go outside. Going back to the webcam, I have on multiple occasions (minimum 10 different occasions first two months) witnessed my dog being humped on by other dogs but staff do nothing to correct the behavior. My dog did not hump other dogs, people, or their toys until I started to send them to daycare, and I recognize this is a natural behavior, but this behavior was very noticeable after daycare. My dog also seems to actively avoid certain dogs at daycare, and it's most likely because these same dogs keep going after mine. It does not look like playing or wrestling. It's always the same doodle, rat terrier looking dog, and sometimes a beagle bothering my dog and the staff just watch then walk away. I saw a canine coach job posting for this location, and it seems that staff get very thorough training (lots of practice and supervision) but pay seems to be $16 an hour? work 4-5 hours about 3-4 times a day minimum AND have to stand around the whole time cleaning up after dogs? At least pay them more? Hire more staff? Consider ways to maintain staff retention and lower turnover? Maybe they'll look less upset and have more drive to perform better at work? My biggest issue is the lack of cleanliness and slow to action coaches working in the rooms. I am paying a high price but I don't believe dogs are getting the full attention and care they deserve. At least 5 instances within the first 2 months of starting daycare in which my dog came home with poop crusted on his rear, pee on his legs or back, and random chalk smudges on his legs. I was notified only once about this at pick up, and that was because the staff had supposedly washed off my dog so he was very wet at pick up. However, upon brief inspection, there was still full remnants of poop and pee on my dog. If you were going to wash off the dog, at least do a better job? Inside is well updated, so I know there is a nice grooming area with bath to clean off my dog. But also, why wasn't I notified more consistently? Furthermore, staff in the back are not quick to clean up after dogs when they poop/peeps. I do recognize there is only 1-2 staff members working with at least 5-7 dogs and up to maybe 18 dogs in one play room, so it's absolute chaos, but it's frustrating seeing poop picked up 5-10 minutes after, pee barely mopped up with the same mop, over and over again. I have watched this multiple times on the feed and it's very disturbing, especially when I think about other dogs stepping/running all over it and coming home. I wash my dog's paws and wipe him down after every daycare day, and it's tiring after a long day of work, but it's definitely needed (especially with how the dogs smell after spending time with other dogs in a small and enclosed space). Anyways, this place isn't terrible if you're not very particular about cleanliness and attentiveness to dog care. I think this is the only daycare in town? There is another one called pawsome care or something (still same prices but no webcam I think) but no reviews so Dogtopia it is. Also location is somewhat convenient. And my dog already knows this place so it'll probably be hard for him to readjust somewhere new. And if you're looking for grooming, I recommend Sydnee's. Prices are considerably cheaper than Dogtopia, Petco, and Petsmart. I was recommended Sydnee's too, and went at least twice. I'm no dog professional or business owner, and I'm new to doggy daycare so I hesitated for months on posting this review. But somethings had to be sad so hopefully this helps someone.

We cannot recommend a pet sitting business, or any business really, higher than Furry Murray.

When we first met Furry Murray, we had two very senior pets. Both required more attention, and often timed medications, when we left. Instead of worry, we always knew they'd be in the best hands while we were away and that our pets would be thrilled to see them. Now, we have two new additions to our family, and they too love the Furry Murray team. Daily, we receive video and photo updates, as well as any photos of packages arriving to the home, etc. It's a relief to find someone who cares for and loves your pets as much as you do.

In fact last year I went into labor A MONTH EARLY. I contacted them and they made accommodations for us to drop off on the way to the hospital. Rebecca was so helpful during such a stressful time and grabbed the dog from the car nascar pit-stop style. We had our daughter about two hours after making it to the hospital. We love this place and so do the dogs. A true hidden gem!
