    This place is the cutest - I use LB to when I need to go for doggy daycare. Hard to remember, but I think I also was hoping my pup, Poppy, would get a little more socialization here too when I began. Everybody who works here is wonderful loves dogs and then they have all these extra cute things like coffee days where you can grab a flavored coffee on the way out from their cart or a photo with Santa It is not convenient for me at all but I go out of my way after having checked closer options that just weren't as friendly and comfortable!

    Hard to believe it's been 5 years since Teddy started going to Lucky Buddies! I realized it's been 4 years since my last review, and I can honestly say my love for this place has only grown. One of the reasons I'm hesitant to move is because I don't know how I could ever find another daycare like them . It's been such a privilege to watch them grow over the years, but what's even more beautiful is that their heart and love for the pups has never changed. They truly treat every fur baby like their own. Their services make life so easy -- it's a true one-stop shop where you can request baths, drop-offs, pick-ups, or even quick check-ins and walks. The staff is incredible. I can't say enough good things about the way they care for Teddy and all the dogs. It really does take a village to raise a pup, and I'm beyond grateful that Lucky Buddies is ours.

    We are so glad we found Lucky Buddies for our golden retriever Kento and our cat Ichi! Before going to daycare at Lucky Buddies, our golden Kento did not quite know how to interact appropriately with other dogs. After several months there, his behavior is much more socially appropriate! He absolutely loves going to Lucky Buddies and playing with his friends. He gets so excited when he jumps off the car and realizes we're outside the Lucky Buddies building. He comes back a tired, happy, and socialized pup! We also always have Lucky Buddies do drop-in visits for our cat Ichi when we're traveling. They are great with uploading pictures, providing a visit follow-up, and following our directions. Ichi loves when they visit! At one point when we had a foster cat, they were very kind to check in on her during their visits too. All the staff members have been pleasant to communicate with. When issues come up, they are quick to respond and communicate mainly through phone call and app messaging. They treat their clients like family. We are very glad to have found Lucky Buddies and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, safe, and caring local business to take care of their fur babies!

    We love taking our 2 pups, Butcher and Tofu, to Lucky Buddies! Butcher has been going to Lucky Buddies for 2.5 years and we had no doubt that our new pup Tofu would love it there as well. They both get their doggie socialization in a safe and controlled environment with other well behaved dogs and are tired and happy once we pick them up. We utilize both the daycare and overnight boarding services, as well as some grooming services. I would not hesitate to recommend their services as I know my pups will be well cared for! I also love that they send pictures at the end of the day to see what our pups are up to!

    Lucky Buddies has been amazing for my dog. The daycare is super clean, the staff is awesome, and my pup always comes home happy and tired from a full day of play. I feel totally comfortable leaving my dog there, knowing he is in good hands and having a blast. Also, there is a report card to show some pictures that was taken during the day care and comments to let me know how his was doing. On top of that, we've been doing training sessions with Juan. He knows his stuff and has helped my dog make huge progress. Whether it's leash walking, basic commands, or just building confidence. Plus, he gives great tips I can use at home.

    We have been one of Lucky's Buddies since 2023 and have loved every visit! My dog Quill has the greatest time, whether he's just hanging out with the buddies, or taking advantage of one of their many add ons. (Walks, agility course, photo shoots to name a few) As a pawrent, I appreciate their quick responses, IG stories and report cards! Not only can I tell Quill had a great time by how pooped he is when he gets home, but I can also see it via social media. They also send (the greatest) pictures of his day there in their easy to use app. The app also tracks vaccines, so it's comforting to know that my dog is in a safe environment, socializing with happy pups. I couldn't recommend them enough, they've been a huge part of Quill's growth in all aspects!

    We drive about 30 minutes to board our dog, Chewy, here because we love Lucky Buddies so much. The team is quick to respond and the communication is a breeze (via their app or email). My anxiety is at ease with the daily report cards and the updates via IG stories. The team here is kind, always happy to see Chewy and best of all he comes home tired :)

    This place has changed my life in regards to my dogs safety. Their daycare & boarding services have been a lifesaver and my god loves it here. I'm a first time dog owner (on my own) and they have been so helpful to the progress of my little girl. & they have 2 locations based on the services you need. Go support this small business!

    Our puppy Rosie LOVES doggy daycare at Lucky Buddies! When we first brought her she was super shy around people and other dogs. But, after a few daycare sessions she became way more confident and social. I always love seeing the daily report cards they send with pictures of her having fun with other dogs. You can tell they really care about the wellbeing and happiness of all pets who stay with them!

    Since it has been a while, I thought I would update my review. Bandit loves Lucky Buddies. He is always excited to see the staff, Maria and Chels seem to be his favorite currently, but that is ever changing. The entire staff are always friendly and super responsive. I love the daily updates and IG stories. I've used most of the services, daycare, boarding, bathing, nail clipping, walks and enrichment activities. He always comes home happy and exhausted. And I still lovve the holiday photos, and he still hates costumes and photos.

I do want to mention that the staff was friendly on each of my accounts. I went in hopeful--the tour was a nice gesture, and I appreciated that they offer cameras for monitoring. Unfortunately, the week I brought my dog in, the cameras were down due to Wi-Fi issues, which I understand can happen. However, my concerns started after the first day. When I picked Maui up, he urgently needed to go poo. After we got home (about a 45-minute drive), he drank almost an entire bowl of water. This made me question whether he was being given enough water or regular opportunities to relieve himself during the day. The same thing happened the second day. When I picked him up, he immediately drank water from a bowl they had outside immediately and had an extremely long pee--lasting over a minute--which again made me feel like he wasn't being let out frequently enough. On top of that, I noticed a very unpleasant smell coming from him in the car. When I checked, there were stains on his chin and belly that smelled far worse than urine. This raised concerns about cleanliness, either in the kennels or play areas (which were not included in the tour). I truly wanted this to be a good, budget-friendly option, but based on my experience, I would rather pay more elsewhere to ensure my dog is properly cared for. Saving money isn't worth compromising my pet's well-being.

The first year with my golden retriever, Luka, was extremely hard. He was a mouthy dog who had zero boundaries at home or outside. He would get excited or frustrated and grab/bite onto my shoes or clothes daily. Walking him became an impossible task because he was extremely dog-reactive, and he dragged me a couple of times while trying to chase another dog. Walking him also became a two-person job, with someone always on the lookout for other dogs so we could turn the other way. He also began to resource guard and snapped at my dad twice.. I had already spent thousands on another trainer and didn't have much success. I began to feel like this was just what life with Luka would be like forever. It got to the point where I felt scared of him, and the life I was giving him out of that fear wasn't fair to him. So I decided to try and get help one last time. I found Lori's page and after reading the reviews I became hopeful again. I took Luka in for an evaluation, and Lori recommended their board-and-train program. I can't thank Chelsea and Lori enough for everything they've done. I've learned so much about Luka, how to manage different situations, and how to better understand his behavior. We had training lessons throughout his board-and-train stay and afterward, because we are the ones who need most of the training! Chelsea did an amazing job with Luka. At home, Luka is unrecognizable in the best way. We can actually go on adventures outside without being terrified that we won't be able to handle him. Those who knew Luka before his stay and see him now always comment on how well he is doing. I cannot recommend Lori Hamilton's Dog training enough to anyone who feels like they've tried everything and is feeling discouraged. I am so thankful because it finally feels like Luka and I can start living life and enjoying everything around us.

Regarding my pup contracting Giardia--I already stated in my original review that I understand parasites are common and my puppy was probably more susceptible, so I wasn't placing blame on the facility. Just a warning that these things happen. However I would like to point out that my dog did not go anywhere else besides home and their facility (since theyre insinuating that it could've been contracted elsewhere). Additionally, the fact that Furrtropolis requires a negative fecal test every 6 months is a warning in itself that any dog could be carrying a parasite between that time, so this requirement isn't full proof. This is just the nature of daycares and boarding facilities, and it wasn't the sole reason I decided we wouldn't be returning. 2. Regarding kennel cough--again just spreading the warning of what my dog experienced coming back from the facility. I'm fully aware they don't have control over the health of every dog that enters. 3. Records show that we were in contact, because as I stated in my review, I would have to continously badger the staff in order to get any updates. Yes, responses were prompt but that wasn't the issue. It was getting updates to begin with, without me having to reach out on the 4th day of boarding to ask how things went. I've seen other boarding places have cameras or provide daily updates (on meals, training sessions, nap time, etc)--totally fine if this isn't one of those places and you're a dog parent that doesn't mind. It's just not for me. *I also want to clarify that I directly expressed to the staff multiple times of wanting more communication/updates and it not being met before I came to yelp* 4. This just further proves my point on the poor communication from this facility, the fact that I wasn't made aware my pup might have had a decrease in appetite or activity level is serious alarm bells. Both of those things would indicate to me that something is off since my dog normally has endless energy and a black hole for a stomach. At the very least, a simple update that my dog just finished his additional 1:1 training session/1:1 play session that I paid extra for would've been nice. My dog is the love of my life and I'm sure other pet parents feel the same. It's important for me to share my experiences to provide insight for others and so the business can improve for others.

Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.
