WILL NOT BE BACK. I just moved here and wasn't able to get real world recommendations so I relied…read moreon yelp to help me find a spot for my dog. I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.

She was there for 10 nights and came home so hoarse from barking and had lost a lot of weight. They called me while I was in the middle of the ocean saying she had kennel cough. She's had all her vaccine and has allergies. They were about to put her in isolation at the vet next door. We paid for cuddles and play and I don't think she got either. The weight loss really bothered me. Losing a pound or two for a dachshund over a month or so is huge but after one week is BAD! I do not recommend this place at all.

We've had them in the Doggie Day Camp every single time they've stayed, which didn't seem to be a problem up until their most recent stay. My dogs were placed into a group of "new" dogs that had not yet been vetted for sociability. One of these new dogs attacked our older dog and left several gashes on his head. We were not notified of this via a phone call, and despite asking multiple times about their stay when we were picking them up, we were told nothing about it. These gashes became infected and led to an unfortunate trip to the vet. We will not be back.
