Saved me when I had to go out of town unexpectedly, with very friendly staff who made sure my older doggo got all her meds and stayed happy and fed. I won't hesitate to come back if I need day care or boarding in the future.

Sparky's is Fantastic! We bring our little guy, Baxter there 2-3 times a week. You do need daycare reservations at least 24 hours in advance. Only have been unable to get a reservation 2-3 times but in general they have availability when we've needed it. They're overnight boarding is also great! We'd never boarded Baxter before so we were apprehensive the first night but the staff at Sparky's are so great!

No problems at all. Baxter loves it when we pull up to the front door and just can't get inside quickly enough! He loves all the staff there and so we think he likes the women there more than us lol! Great place-highly recommend! Particularly the incredible staff!

The do a great job with managing our pet's time with proper sized play groups spaced with break and rest times. They had be been very informative in how their day has gone. Great place to leave your dog with no worries.

Staff is awesome and trust worthy! Rates have gone up a little since we've been here, but we know exactly what type of care our dog is getting so it's worth it

While initially excited about all that At Play With Sparky offered, as we were coming from out of town and needed a spot for our doodle to spend some time while we went on some adventures he couldn't join us with, we can't recommend it. When we picked up our dog, he was returned to us frenzied, exhausted, dehydrated and with most of his food we had left. Almost two days worth of food uneaten. He has a chicken allergy, so he had to eat our food, which means he either didn't eat at all or ate other dogs' food containing chicken.

When we got back to our Airbnb he ate and drank like he hadn't in days. He was agitated, nippy and growling for the majority of the rest of the evening. Our dog is a gentle, excited doodle who loves everyone. He ran from us for hours when we would try to give him pets or interact with him. To see him like this was heartbreaking. The one time we called to check in, the response was "no news is good news." Other places will give you specifics about your dog, but it seemed they paid no attention to our dog at all.

As an animal lover I was thrilled to start work here however my time was short because of poor training and management. The facility is run down and communication between employees is nonexistent, please for your own dogs safety avoid. It's a miracle they've been around as long as they have. Employees will insult dogs behind owners backs as they waste time in the office. If you do not immediately fit their perfection for the workplace after day one you'll be gone with no chance to improve your performance.

With a workplace as toxic as that why would you want your beloved pet anywhere near the place? Ignore all the glowing reviews on Facebook and Google, they trim the bad to make themselves look better.

This was our first time taking our beagle Ichabod to a daycare. We went to Biltmore for the day. It was absolutely wonderful he had the best time. He is 10 years old and very lazy and he actually came back a little dirty and it was great. Definitely recommend! When we come back he will be staying there again.
