My Dane use to have issues with other dogs, but after his first time at Stayners (which was free), I bought a package and my Dane has no issues with other dogs now . The fake turf yard is amazingly huge. They have multiple yards I.e.- a ball yard, small dog yard, assertive dog yards, and introductory kennels. They have over the top friendly staff, which 2 staffers, are always watching the dogs with spray bottles. They have a covered area for dogs to cool of under and every other hour they take my Dane in to relax. I highly recommend this doggie camp!!

Years ago, Kelly used to be a groomer here. He's fantastic. My yorkie at the time, Frankie,…read morebasically had little to no hair. It was adorable. Kelly always did an amazing job on him. I know, how hard can a hairless dog be to groom? Well, to make it look less like he was hairless and more like it was just a groom...I guess for me it would be tricky lol. To them, it's easy, haha! Anyway, Kelly opened his new place in Star and Frankie and I continued to go there until Frankie's passing last year. Spoiled Dog is literally like 5-7 mins from my house. Frankie's old spot is more than 20 and probably even more now that the amount of traffic has increased dramatically in just the past year. It's sad. I wanted to take my new little guy, Alfie to Kelly, but I decided to return to Spoiled Dog. Either choice would have been good, but I 1000% have lucked out with another great groomer that works at Spoiled Dog. His name is, Jordan. Kelly even spoke very highly of Jordan, so I knew Alfie was in good hands. There are mixed reviews about Spoiled Dog on here and Google. My reviews I always try to be as straightforward as possible. If something is shit, I have absolutely NO problems writing about it. I am not however, someone who will like Karen out for a min and write a bad review for something so minor. Something people do too often with online reviews. I've noticed the bad reviews are mainly about another person at this place. That's whatever. Jordan is Alfie's groomer and again, I've lucked out because he's incredible on so many levels. Jordan is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, for starters. He is so sweet with Alfie. Alfie immediately LOVED him and I was kind of surprised by that. Alfie isn't even a year yet, so he gets a little freaked out around new people/places etc. I took him to Jordan the first time just to get his nails trimmed. Alfie basically cuddled right in his arms and let him do it. I think Alfie would scream bloody fn murder if I tried or he would think I was playing with him lol. You should see us when I'm brushing him. GOOD. LORD. Hahahaha! Jordan on top of being excellent with Alfie, is an excellent groomer. This last groom, Nov 9th, he did exactly what I wanted and then some. I know some of us can be a pain in the ass when describing what we want done, I even apologized just in case I was being "that guy" haha! Jordan was so sweet about it. So friendly. Working any job in dealing with the public is extremely challenging. I can't even imagine what it must be like for a groomer lol...especially people who are real nasty. I guess to some degree because grooming is not cheap, people are ok to know what they want. It's not ok to be a massive dick tho especially to someone who is working on our kids :) That was quite the ramble huh? Haha! I'm so glad I found Jordan. It was meant to be. Alfie loves him, I love him hahaha, I absolutely love his skills and his abilities to connect with the animals. He is truly an outstanding talent. Yeah fuck you're planning on trying this place out, seek out Jordan. You won't be disappointed. The place is super clean, spacious. They have kennels, boarding whatnot. I mean, it's a doggy spa haha! I won't ramble too much more. Yelp will cut me off and then I'll turn into a super Karen on my side of the screen haha! Spoiled Dog is a wonderful spot and that's because of Jordan. I'm glad I decided to go back here. It's about $50 for his groom. Is that pricey? To me, yes lol. With all the people moving here tho, I'm sure that's one of the reasons the prices went up. It's also pricey (imo) for a 5lb yorkie, but the important thing is...he's a great groomer, knows his shit, and is excellent with Alfie. It's very hard to find a good groomer who REALLY enjoys his job. Jordan is just that. You can see immediately in his finished product that he loves what he does and just watching him interact with the dogs...again, you can see he loves his line of work. I imagine it's very rewarding. Ok, I better stop. Thanks for reading, Yelpittererees!! Cheers!

I said well how do you know whether or not you have availability I haven't told you my dates she says well what are the dates? and I said well it's gonna be sometime in September and another time in October and she asked how big is your dog? I said she's a black lab. She says oh I quit boarding big dogs. It's at the end of the day and you know I just don't have time to talk about this right now and I don't take dogs unless they've been crated before or have been in a kennel before. I said well my dog has been crated before, and she asked me "how do you know?"! She then asked me if I'm new to area and how long have I lived in Boise - crazy talk - what on earth does that have to do with boarding g my dog. At that point, I made the decision to end the call and not go any further. Good grief with the way she was short and rude behavior It was clear that the owner is not wanting to have any additional business and wants a bad review and no referrals so I told her that I didn't care for her tone and that I was not interested. Then she hung up! Wow.

I brought him in on 7/11 got his worms cleared up. Was charged $120ish. After that my kitten who is strictly indoors only developed a URI ( upper respiratory infection) I can only think he got it from there. When I realized it wasn't getting better I brought him in on 7/21.....only 10 days later. I brought in my kitten and he was prescribed meds. The tech came in and said it was $105.... Another $100 10 day later. Due to a "progress" fee. Soo the original physical was $90 and the progress was $80. I asked for some leniency because it had only been a week and a half since I was there last. The tech said she talked to my original doctor and another who said no.... I don't see how is this fair. I'd even be ok with a discounted progress fee, but the full amount is a bit much to me for it only being 10 days later. I will be bringing any future issues I have with my other animals somewhere else.

My dog was boarded with Gem Crest. As part of the intake, the staff was told that my dog required…read moremedication 2 times a day. The staff said that was not an issue. Upon picking my dog up, it was obvious that they had not provided my dog his medication as evidenced by the pill bottle and the check sheet they provided. I was charged for all services rendered and the lady at the front desk was absolutely one of the most unpleasant people I have ever dealt with. With in 12 hours of my dog being home, he died in my arms. I attribute this directly to Gem Crests horrible care and lack of providing him his medication as directed. I will never bring another animal to this place and I would urge anyone else from ever using this facility. I had used Gem Crest multiple times over the last 20 years and I can say with certainty that their service and reputation is nothing like it use to be.

Sometimes they are friendly, other times they have a tone and attitude. I want to be 100% they want to care for my dog while I'm away and their attitude makes me think that my dog and me are an inconvenience. . I also think they would benefit from setting up a reservation system so boarding date can be revised and confirmed by both parties. This may drive up the cost of boarding but it may save miscommunication.
