If I could give Yappy's 1000 stars, I would. I have a 1 year old mini bernedoodle named Rocco and…read morehave bringing him to Yappy's since he was fully vaccinated. They have been helping me care for him and raise him and I couldn't be more grateful. The team at Yappy's is unbelievable. Rocco is a maniac 98% of the time and they are so patient with him. Every person I have met at Yappy's is truly amazing. Always smiling, they treat the dogs so well, they are just a genuinely great team who really care about the pups. I ask Rocco "do you want to go to the playhouse?!" and he does a little dance and can't wait to get into the car. He knows where he is the moment we pull into the parking lot and can't pull away from me fast enough once he's leashed and we go up the stairs into the building. The facility itself is big! They have several separate areas indoors for the different groups of dogs and they rotate bringing them outside to the fenced in turf area to do their business or enjoy the weather and play around. In the summer they put out a couple of kiddie pools for the dogs to play in. It's also super clean considering how many dogs they care for daily. For daycare, they separate the dogs by at least size so he's not in a group with dogs 5x his size. They post so many videos, reels, and pictures on their social medias and it's the cutest thing you've ever seen. All of the dogs are so happy and enjoying their time for sure. For sleepovers, when he was super young, I would drop off his crate and requested he be crated at night so he could continue to have the same structure as home and get used to the crate and they were great about it. A few times after that, I just dropped it off and asked for it to be left open as an option for him if he wanted it and if he could be put in his own space at night and they were super supportive. Now, I don't even bother dropping the crate off and he gets to sleep and hang with the other pups for a fun sleepover! They have a separate bedroom on site where a person will stay with all the sleepover guests overnight so there is always someone with the pups 24/7. Of course Rocco makes himself right at home and gets up on the bed right against the person staying over with them on his back with all 4 paws in the air haha. They will groom him or give him a bath before I pick him up especially after a longer stay. You can email or call Yappy's and they have an awesome app you download to your phone, you upload all of your pet's information and health records, and you can book your daycare and sleepover appointments right in the app. You pick your days and dropoff and/or pickup time. It shows pending at first and then confirmed if they have a spot open or waitlist if they are full but sometimes they have cancellations day of so a spot could open up. The owner, Kathy, also texts so anytime I need something or she has an update about Rocco, she will text (or call in an emergency of course). The communication is amazing! Also in the app is all of the pricing including daycare and sleepover packages you can purchase in bulk for a discount. They are so attentive to the dogs. One time Rocco threw up a foreign object and they texted me immediately and sent me a picture of what he threw up. It was just a piece of his bully stick he had the day before that wasn't digesting thankfully but they were so great about it. Another time they texted me because they noticed his nails were a little on the longer side. He had just been groomed a few weeks prior but they didn't cut them short enough so Yappy's took care of it for me. I was away when his first birthday arrived and they spoiled him rotten and sent me the cutest pictures. For holidays, they will dress the pups up and take adorable pictures to take home with you. I can't say enough amazing things about Yappy's and highly recommend them! Rocco and I are so thankful!

Erin then told me she would be in touch about small dog groups, if I could transport. I certainly could. That was several days ago and one email later again asking for an update. I think that non response is a deal breaker for us and given that we were coming in on current client recommendations it reflects poorly on this day care. When these folks did follow up they told us that we had been informed of a 'wait list" or should have read that on their site...We were not informed of any wait list other than for the transportation bus. We were really put off by the revised information and Erin's attitude. As a former business consultant, I think these folks have a lot to learn about courtesy and communication.

I had a really uncomfortable and disappointing experience here…read more I accidentally pulled onto what turned out to be private property while trying to figure out where I was going. Instead of being met with basic decency or even simple directions, I was immediately approached in an aggressive and confrontational manner. The woman came out yelling, recording me, and even filmed my license plate, which felt extremely invasive and unnecessary given the situation. I remained calm and was willing to move as soon as it was possible, but the interaction was handled with zero professionalism or kindness. As a first-time encounter, this left a very negative impression. Situations like this could easily be handled with a bit of patience and basic human courtesy especially toward someone who was clearly not causing harm and simply needed a moment to leave safely. I also reached out afterward to address the situation and have yet to receive any response, which adds to the lack of professionalism. I understand the importance of private property, but how you treat people matters. A little empathy goes a long way.
