My dog Clementine recently spent nine days at The Pooch Pitt. I couldn't be happier with the way she was cared for! First, the place is impeccably clean, which is very important to me. Her temperament assessment placed her with the small to medium dogs, even though she's big, which was correct for her somewhat timid yet playful personality. I would watch her on the camera, and she always was happy, playing, tail wagging. At night she was boarded in a clean, new, private kennel that is constructed so that the dogs cannot see any other dog except one that might be opposite them, which is great for helping keep their stimulation and stress lower. Clementine was nervous at first about her brand new experience, and unfortunately chewed on her back legs a bit, making the skin raw. The Pooch Pitt employees were extremely vigilant about this problem! They contacted me immediately, reassured me, and even ran to her vet to pick up medications for her, and administered them diligently. They stayed in contact with me from that point to report daily on the progress of her healing, welcomed my calls, and kept her in a cone while she was in her kennel to keep her from doing more damage. She was allowed to play in the yard without a cone, which worked out beautifully. I was so impressed by their care and concern for her! Due to a horrible kennel experience a few years ago elsewhere, I was terribly nervous about leaving Clementine anywhere, but I am so glad I chose The Pooch Pitt! The employees were so caring and friendly and I do think she ultimately enjoyed her stay there. She even smelled amazing and her hair felt wonderful from the bath and brushing that she was giving right before I picked her up. I cannot say enough good about this facility. From its brand-new amenities and cleanliness (and turf instead of grass and dirt!) to its generous hours to its reasonable fees to its marvelous employees, I give it my highest recommendation and will be happy for Clementine to visit again! read more

My English Springer Spaniel is always happy to go here. She hops out of the car when we arrive, hurries inside, and doesn't hesitate to go join her friends. She's been going here since she was just a puppy and we have never had any issues. I was hesitant to send her to a daycare facility because all animals are unpredictable, and there is always the possibility of a fight or injury. For this reason, I like that the Pooch Pitt staff are all adults who work there full-time or at least a lot, not a rotating cast of high schoolers. I feel that they are responsible people who pay attention to the dogs, and who know all the "regulars" really well. While it there is always a risk of an injury, or of a dog getting sick from a daycare (even when they're up on their vaccinations... just like my little humans get sick from daycare germs), my dog is much happier and better-behaved by getting two full days of exercise every week when I'm at work. I also appreciate that it allowed her to keep those social skills that I worked so hard to cultivate when she was a tiny puppy. read more

I have a high anxiety dog - a rescue Shiba Inu. I have taken him there for the past 4 years. The main reason I did was because he needed to be socialized with other dogs. I am grateful that nothing has ever happened to him. Having said that I had two golden retrievers prior and one of them I would never have taken here because he was dog aggressive. I think you have to be a responsible pet owner and know what your dog can tolerate as well as what your dog is capable of during socialization. Everybody has an opinion based on different experiences. I have learned that in life just as with people you hire to do work for you, daycare, church, doctors, hospitals etc you have to find out for yourself. The problem I have is with people who just gossip. If you didn't experience it then don't talk about it. So far, I as well as my dog loves it here. read more

My experience with Pooch Pitt has been excellent. I have been taking my dog there for nearly a year. He's rather timid and they work with him to calm him down and ensure that he has a great day. He goes regularly to day care. I have also boarded him there several times and also had him groomed. Those experiences were excellent as well. The location is convenient as well as the drop off/pick up set-up. I attended their open house and toured the facility. Its new, clean, and well equipped. Thank you Pooch Pitt for your great service. read more

Horrible boarding. Zero communication with customers or calling them. Lies and leads the customer to believe certain things. Stay clear here and go somewhere else!!! my dogs have come back with pink eye and kennel cough on multiple occasions. Never an I'm sorry. And if you get upset with them, the owner hangs up on you. Zero backbone and zero ownership. How can someone be in a business mind when they have no customer service skills? read more

Do not go there. My friends elderly, rescue dog Hank was there for his one hour observation and drowned in the swimming pool. During his ONE HOUR observation! And Stanley, a sweet and kind dog, was attacked and very badly hurt while he was there. Both of these dogs are loved by wonderful owners who only wanted the best for them. It's a shame what happened to the dogs. But the way that the Pooch Pitt has treated the owners is appalling. read more

We've been boarding our Golden Retrievers at Pooch Pitt since it opened on Valley Brook Road years ago, and we've been happy with it ever since. (Their new place is beautiful, by the way.) Our dogs are also happy there, entering the front door with their tails wagging every time. Their grooming services are very good, too. The Pooch Pitt is Tanner's and Sarah's happy place and we feel very comfortable having them there. read more

Do NOT leave your dog with these people! How many more incidents do there have to be? My golden retriever was bitten in the face while boarding there several years ago. And now a dog DIED FROM DROWNING in their care! AND a dog fight broke out this summer that sent one dog to a veterinary hospital with horrific injuries! Arrogant owner and incompetent staff. Hope and pray they get shut down soon. read more

I've seen the negative reviews and frankly I'm shocked! We have *never* had a bad experience with the Pooch Pitt. Their staff are always friendly and know my dog by name. It's a kennel! Don't be surprised if your dog doesn't want you to leave. But I've spent hours watching the video of my dog playing and she just loves the place. I hope this who have had a negative experience might try to reconsider. read more

Do not send your animals to this business. My sisters dog got extremely sick from staying there. This past month my in laws BLIND ELDERLY DOG DROWN in the pool during a one hour "assessment" They have multiple cases of hiding evidence of incidents even though they promote having cameras around the facility. They are not to be trusted. 4 dogs have died in their care in the past month. read more

I have a Yorkshire and a Shih Tzu. Both were recently groomed at The Pooch Pitt. I am very satisfied with the way both dogs were groomed as they had gotten into a briar bush in our yard which necessitated them being totally shaved. I have had both dogs previously groomed at this facility and have been very happy with the results. Will continue taking our dogs to this establishment. read more

We've been using the Pooch Pitt for "sleep away camp" since it opened. Our English Setter enjoys her stays and we've always felt comfortable and confident leaving her in their care. Attentive, accommodating and compassionate. Grooming services are also top notch. She's 16 now so overnight visits are less frequent but she's still spoiled when she sleeps over. read more

Since The Pooch Pitt opened its doors, I've been taking LuLu, a boxer mix, for daycare. Every Monday she knows it's her day. I can tell that she really enjoys her time there! Ella is the general manager and truly cares about each and every dog that comes into the facility. The Pooch Pitt has my stamp of approval and I highly recommend them. read more

Our Bernese Mountain Dog was there while we were on vacation. We could see her on the camera playing with the other dogs. They gave her a bath before we picked her up. And the best thing, our flight got canceled and we were delayed for 2 days. The happily took care of her. Thank you Girls Terri and Mike Birchok read more

Our puppy Jax just loves it there! My husband and I have been happy with their service and he always come home with a fresh bath! The best part is being able to watch him on the cameras. We always catch our 7lb yorkie following all the bigger dogs around! We look forward to boarding him again in the future. read more

We love the Pooch Pit. Our German Shepherd loves it too. He is always excited to go in when we drop him off. The staff genuinely cares about him and loves on him. Everyone is extremely friendly, helpful, efficient and makes the whole process easy. Not to mention the facility state of the art and clean!!! read more

We love The Pooch Pitt! We have been taking our dogs there for several years. The staff is very caring and takes time to learn the personalities of each dog. Our dogs get so excited as soon as we say "Pooch Pitt!". The new facility is beautiful! We are happy to have our dogs be a part of the pack! read more

I enjoy sending Daisy to the Pooch Pitt. She goes in looking like a hairy old girl and comes out looking like a sleek young pup. They are so friendly and accomadating. I trust Daisy will be treated with care and most of all now that summer is here, hopefully she will be cooler since her haircut. read more

Picked up our dogs this afternoon, after a weeks' boarding. Blake and Frankie were brought out to us freshly bathed, tales wagging. From the comments from the staff, they obviously bonded with our dogs, so glad we have Pooch Pitt to care for our dogs when we are out of town. read more
