Awesome! I love going to "The Pup", There are so many dogs to play with, (if I want, some days it's good just to have a good nap) The staff is terrific remembering everyone (and their people too!). When I go for an "slumber party", I get to sleep under the covers*, so that is fun! Just like home. *Note from Billy's Mom...he is a 79lb Lab. Sincerely, Billy Hopps read more

Just moved back to the desert and it was a stroke of luck finding Village Pup. The pooch was pretty attached to his old camp but it's been a seamless transition. The staff is incredible as well. read more

Highly recommend the Village Pup for their grooming. I've sent my mini Goldendoodle puppy for her first two cuts and Anthony has done a great job with her. Later I found out another friend has been taking her dog to him for years! I can see that he handles her with care and does an outstanding job. I also like the fact that they ensure dogs have their vaccinations and they also have a popular day care and overnight boarding facility that I haven't used, but plan too! Last but not least, the customer service is outstanding and is noticeable when you walk in. The attention and care they take with each pet is what every pet parent dreams of... read more

Today we did a grooming with my German Shepherd. Best Bath plus an outline trim. Anthony did exactly to my specifications. I'm so pleased. Hands down I would recommend TVP for ALL SERVICES they provide. read more

We had an alarming a devastated experience at the Village PUP and People need to know what a terrible place this is. After going there for at least a year we were away for awhile and when we took Coco back they now say she is an aggressive dog - a 14Pound CAvaPoo who does not have an aggressive bone in her body. Following the meet and great we had already made an appointment for her with the Groomer and we could not cancel. We gave the Groomer explicit instructions to not cut her short or shave her. We only wanted a light trim and grooming. We were appalled when we went to pick her up to find that all of her beautiful coat was shaved down to her skin, including her ears, and it was awful. No question but that the Groomer did what she wanted to get Coco out of there! Our poor girl now just hides under the bed after this very traumatic experience. Clearly this was an issue of retribution by the staff at the Village Pup!!! read more

We LOVE The Village Pup!!! Every single employee here clearly loves dogs and it shows!! Every time I bring my Biggie Smalls he is greeted with so much love it makes my heart melt!!! They do an amazing job with cuts and my dog comes often for just the house baths! He always come out looking so fresh and clean! Keep up the great work guys!!! Biggie & his mama :) read more

The most horrible customer service I've seen just trying to make an appointment.. I called him this afternoon trying to make an appointment, spoke to one guy who went over my questions told me how much and told me that they had a bunch of availability. Then he stuck me on hold for 10+ minutes telling me he had to register my dog. Eventually, I hung up because who has time to sit on hold for 10+ minutes... only to call back and get somebody else who told me they have no availability. I can't believe a business operates like this. read more

Very friendly and good to our dog. And the dog loves going there! It's easy to get a grooming appointment and they cut him just as we ask.

The village pup is amazing and staff is very helpful and friendly and grooming is great and affordable.

We love the V.P. ! In the LQ! So Grateful for the staff and owners everyone there has such love for our fur babies! Thank you read more

I have taken my pups here to try to socialize them for daycare. The staff is fantastic at tailoring their experience based on the dogs' reactions and not over-stress them. We are making progress; one of mine is eight years old and inexperienced with interacting with other dogs. I've never been a fan of dog parks due to the mixing of different-sized animals and not knowing if they are vaccinated. I've also used them for grooming, and both times, I have had a short wait time for appointments. And again, the staff is more concerned about the animal's well-being, and I have been delighted. read more

Staff was over and beyond helpful and made me and my doggie feel right at home. The front desk was warm and welcoming. Facility was ridiculously clean and well organized. All of my 5 million questions wee answered professionally and with respect and I know I was being extra. Have been telling all my friends to sign up. read more

The Village Pup is an awesome place to take your furry loved one and all the staff are amazing! Highly recommend!

A friend of mine referred me to The Village Pup in La Quinta! This facility is truly amazing & this exists for dogs of all breeds. The staff is patient, friendly and truly love their jobs. Who wouldn't want to work with dogs, all day! Audio & Bruno our pups love going to The Village Pup. It's paradise for dogs! Thank you for taking care of our pups awhile we are away or watch them during the day! Thank you again! read more

Dog got scabies from here! If your dog is itching and you start itching be cautious get checked at a vet!

We have a pug puppy (one year old) who has been going to the Pup for day care (play time), grooming, thorough professional dog training with Jerid and also sleep overs when we are out of town. Our puppy LOVES and thrives in all areas that they provide. The whole staff are so kind and genuinely care about our baby. I HIGHLY recommend all the services. The dog training is a MUST. She is a changed dog and loves to please us with all her new commands she knows. The care they provide to us makes us feel so blessed to be able to leave her for the day of even for a longer period of time when we are out of town. You will be another satisfied customer too. Check them out when you need any of the above services. read more

From my first appointment that was missed because it was not properly scheduled they sure did made it up by our second attempt by having Pebbles our poodle mix get her haircut and groomed ! and she just looks phenomenal I'm very happy and pleased with the service that they provided just to make up I will definitely recommend anybody to come see Village pup . The lobby was just adorable enough as it is I hope you enjoy the pictures provided read more

I love the staff at Village pop they were very professional and allowing my eight month old jack Russell terrier slowly acclimate to the bigger dogs a couple at a time. I feel safe, leaving my puppy with them as I know that she's in good hands read more

Wow. My dog Champ had the absolute best doggie day in La Quinta's day-care facility. He is a White German Shepherd Dog; he is also large and serves as my guard dog (a job which he takes very seriously!). Because of this, I was very nervous about his behavior around other dogs, especially in a fun and playful setting. I should have saved my worry! Champ had the best Wet Wednesday at the La Quinta facility and seemed to be warm with the workers at the location. They are wonderful and amazing in their patience and care. I am so thrilled and pleased that I found this place. Champ now has a circle of canine peers. Terrific! read more

No where in their website does it say that peel off vaccinations aren't accepted. Decided to vaccinate my pup with a vaccination I purchased at tractor supply because vet time appointments were insane and I needed this done within 2 weeks. I called my vet office and they gave me the green light to buy them at tractor supply and administer myself. This place said they would call me back with the owners decision on allowing my dog into day care or not. Didn't receive a follow up call. Called a different dog day care and they accepted my vaccinations. unhappy with their customer service. read more

This is a long very happy story! My husband and I got a new puppy right around Thanksgiving! Her name is Lucy and she weighed 4.5 lbs! She was and is the cutest most beautiful puppy you have ever seen. We soon leaned we were in over our heads and really needed some help with her. We had scratches and baby teeth cuts all over our arms. We are seniors so you can only imagine what we looked like especially me. We really should have taken out stock in a bandage company. We took her into the groomer to have her nails cut and she suggested we take her to The Village Pup in Palm Desert and that we might consider Mark the trainer at The Village Pup in La Quinta. Once she was all good with shots we took her to Palm Desert for a meet and greet and she passed! Lucy going to daycare gave us a much need break. Yahoo! Now we were ready for some training. We went to La Quinta and did a meet and great signed up for training and she got started. We met her trainer Mark and right away new we were in good hands! She trained 4 days a week for a month and we know have a GREAT puppy! She is recall and off leash trained, walks really well on her leash with out pulling and so much more. She has wonderful manners! Does not jump, steal everything any more and uses her crate. We are so grateful we found Mark and the Village Pup! Now we are working toward getting her certificate as a Therapy Dog! If you need training, day care, boarding or grooming this is absolutely the right place! We take Lucy about once a week for daycare. There staff are so good she comes home manners refreshed, tired and ready for a nap. We have boarded her at La Quinta and they take such good care. Someone is always with them so we feel good and know she alway safe. We can't say enough good things about the staff and their skills! We really recommend The Village Pup in La Quinta! If there were a million red stars that would be our recommendation. read more

Last Saturday I had a grooming appointment for my three dogs, after about 45 min. they called me telling me that one of my dogs had "ringworm." When I got there they brought my dogs out and continued to tell me that one of my dogs had ringworm and that the other two had been infected. I left and called the vet to make an appointment. After speaking to the vet, he told me that my dogs did not have ringworm. I just spoke to Kay who reported to me that she was the manager. I told her that I was very upset about the groomer diagnosing ringworm on my dogs when she in fact is not a vet, and that she was practicing veterinary without a license. The manager started to make excuses, one after the next. Then I still wanted to come for my dogs grooming and she had to give me an appointment 3 weeks out because everybody was in town and they were very busy. Never mind I'm a year round customer. When she gives me the appointment, she gives me a different time of what I normally have. I asked for the same time I have always asked for and now she tells me that I have to come 4 weeks out at least. I then told her that she was no help and that I rather speak to somebody else. At this point she says to me "I'm sorry but I will have to talk to you later because we cannot talk to you when you're upset" and she hung up on me. All this because I complained about a groomer practicing veterinary without a license. I'm sure the Department of Consumer Affairs will find this very interesting. read more

I'm not easy to impress and I'm totally blown over by The Village Pup . A++ customer service and care, and I've never seen so many dogs happy to say adios to their humans. . They remembered my pups name from her first visit and couldn't be more serious about their jobs if they were caring for children. I get daily updates and pics when I have to board her, and cute little surprise picture messages like the ones below. . I know my baby is in good hands... she's so happy when I pick her up and immediately falls asleep once we get home. Thank you for making my pet parent life a breeze, Village Pup. read more

Let me start by talking about the people who work here. The owners and all the employees are excellent with your pup! You wouldn't do this job if you didn't have passion for it. They are knowledgeable and take the time to make sure you know everything you need to know about the service your pup is getting. I first started taking my boy here for daycare so he could be socialized. He loved going in and hanging out with all his new friends. Plus he was mellowed out by the time I got him home. Next, Zeus was part of their training program. I chose the one where he stays for a few weeks overnight and is trained in the day. I hated to leave him, but I knew it was for his own benefit! They were sweet enough to send me pictures and messages during the day because it's so hard to be without your puppy. They did an excellent job training my little goober. He still knows all his commands 5 months later. I decided not to have him neutered, so he is not going to daycare anymore, but now he's getting groomed here! This was the first time I took him there for grooming. He came out a whole new dog! They did such an excellent job. Zeus will definitely be coming back. read more

This is why pitbulls are stereotype, It's facilities like this Village Pub that won't allow my type of dog to interact because of the breed ‍ by the way my dog is a service dog because I'm permanently disabled, and they still wouldn't allow my dog. I should sue them for discrimination. read more

The Village Pup - Pet Boarding Near Me - La Quinta, California

Don't support this organization. They discriminate against 21 breeds of dogs. They won't even consider a temperament test. My wife called, inquiring about our rescued Pit mix receiving day care there. We were refused. She even told her that our dog was a licensed therapy dog for Riverside County. My 8 Lb chihuahua and 12 year old Lab were more aggressive than my pit mix. Shame on you! Your ignorance is astounding. read more

I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for everyone at The Village Pup! I have two Boston Terriers and one Australian Shepherd that have been clients of The Village Pup for some time now. Cinnamon, my Australian Shepherd, is now 1 1/2 years and she started the 5-week dog training with Marc at 6 months of age. Cinnamon's training has been life changing. The results were immediate, and she continues to flourish over time. I am able to walk Cinnamon off-leash, visit dog beaches, the local sand dunes and parks and trust in her recall in coming back to me. Cookie, one of my Boston Terriers, received some training as well and she too has been able to enjoy her life with more freedom. I truly have well behaved, happy, friendly dogs that are able to meet and socialize well with other dogs. I have The Village Pup staff to thank for always being there to take in my dogs for daycare and overnights whenever needed. K and Marc have been so supportive to my household and the front staff is always so cheerful and caring. Marc is the best! I am so glad that my dogs received the training they did, plus Marc has such patience with dog owners like myself! I highly recommend The Village Pup to all! read more

New to the area and after trying out both mobile and non-mobile groomers I tried Village Pup based on a recommendation. The facility is spotless, the staff caring and knowledgeable, and my Yorkie came out looking cuter than ever! The bonus was he didn't ever seem a nervous wreck when I picked him up which tells me he was in good hands the entire time! You need to call way in advance to schedule and will be asked to provide current vaccination records. We are new fans and for sure going to be repeat customers!! read more

Wish I came here sooner. Decided to try it out for my little foster pup when I went out of town and he absolutely loved the village pup and was so exhausted when he got home. I also took my other dog to get groomed and they did an amazing job on her, I was extremely impressed. Highly recommend The Village Pup, they truly care for your dogs. read more

I love The Village Pup! They are super clean, super kind, super loving to my pup!! They have the best staff and the best owners! It's clear how much they all love these dogs. I recommend TVP to everyone I know! read more

So glad to have found The Village Pup. I take my dog to the one in Palm Desert and he absolutely loves it! The staff are genuinely friendly; the play area is kept clean. It's fun to watch my dog on the "doggie cams" while he is there. A get acquainted visit is required and that impressed me. They put my dog in a small enclosure and then brought in 1 and 2 dogs to meet him. Didn't just throw him in with the crowd, which can be quite large...25 -35 dogs. Highly recommend this business. read more

We couldn't be happier! Our regular groomer closed business a couple of years ago and we have searching since. Tried 3 different ones and then found Village Pup. What a great experience! Anthony brushed out and trimmed Cooper today. Everyone there was great. Cooper was ready in no time and he looks awesome. We will be back. Thank you! read more

Unless you have one of those little white rat dogs, apparently this facility can't take care of your dog! My sweet, gentle PUPPY. Yes, my TWO month year old PUPPY got turned away for being "a bully breed"? She is literally just a mutt. She is a labrador mix. So apparently, the Village "Pup" doesn't accept puppies, mutts, or anything except tea cup sized pure breeds, so if that's not you- don't waste your time, go somewhere else. Dog discrimination is real yall, and places like this don't deserve a title as a facility that takes care of dogs, they obviously aren't in it for the right reasons. I'll say again- don't waste your time! Take your money to some place that loves REAL dogs and ALL dogs!! read more

We learned about Village Pup thru a dog friend. We took our young lab there and he had some behavioral problems of being too aggressive with other dogs in the yard. We worked with him at home and he improved so he could be back with his friends. Well he need more training than what we did. Mark the trainer at the Pup came up with a program that took our spirited lab and gave him good discipline that has made him a well mannered pup. He now goes to "camp" as we call it when we have busy days and he loves it. He runs in and interacts with the whole population with good manners. When he comes home he literally collapses after a hard day at camp. We give Village Pup a top rating with a wonderful staff and trainers. Andy and Laurie Erickson read more
