What recent reviews say

Dogs consistently leave exhausted and eager to return, and their owners credit Pet Paradise's attentive, friendly staff who keep facilities spotless and offer live camera access. Personalized touches like report cards, progress photos, and phone updates on first stays build trust, though a few wish more photos arrived unprompted during longer stays.

Pet Paradise's website claims services including boarding, day camp, grooming, dog training, and veterinary care. Their VIP suites with individualized playtime, pool access, and television appeal to selective dogs, while live webcams and detailed staff communication address owner anxiety about leaving pets behind.

Brenna and her team earn consistent praise for personal attention and reliability, with dogs visibly excited for each visit. One scheduled appointment resulted in a complete no-show with no follow-up communication, which raises fair concerns about operational consistency.

Dogs consistently come home looking transformed and acting excited to return, with owners across three years of visits reporting that their pets know the route to Edgewood and can't wait to arrive. Jamie and Tiffany are the draw: reviewers describe their grooming as artistry, their handling of nervous or uncooperative dogs as patient and calm, and their willingness to learn each dog's needs and preferences as genuine care. The facility itself is spacious and quiet, with individual runs and a wooded lot for walks. One poodle puppy experienced rough handling during grooming that left lasting fear, though the skill of the work is not in question. The business serves boarding, grooming, and daycare, with groomers handling everything from show-quality trims to rescue transformations. Staff accommodate special dietary needs and recognize anxious dogs by offering separated space until they adjust. Pricing is described as fair for the quality. All evidence points to this being a multi-service operation where grooming is the standout strength, though one significant handling incident suggests fit depends on your dog's temperament and your tolerance for the rare mistake.
