What recent reviews say

Most owners report dogs arrive excited and leave exhausted, with staff they trust and recognize over multiple visits. Daytime play photos reassure owners while away, and facility cleanliness stands out. However, a handful of experiences flag gaps: one owner witnessed mounting without staff intervention; others felt billing was opaque and customer service dismissive of pricing questions.

Praised for
  • attentive, caring staff
  • dogs eager to return
  • daily photo updates
  • clean, organized facility
  • safe environment for dogs
Watch-outs
  • inadequate supervision during group play
  • vague and inflated pricing
  • generic, copied update emails
  • poor handling of owner concerns
