I have been coming to YWIP since they opened. As a dog trainer, I was looking for a facility that would set boundaries for my dogs behavior while allowing them to play. What a success. I did in home boarding for 20 years and have numerous friends in the grooming & vet businesses. I was amused by the number of people who complained about the amount of paperwork I required to make their dogs life in my home successful.

It's necessary. A common thread of conversation is how difficult it is to give constructive advice to pet owners. (My child can do no wrong) Often nothing is said rather than risk losing business. Thank you YWIP for not taking this approach. As a Standard Poodle owner I find the bathing fees reasonable. Good thing Porter, the mixed breed darling, can go somewhere else where his issues will be overlooked. Make sure you get the day right.

There isn't anything we don't like about You Work I'll Play Dog Daycare. Our dogs, past and current, have been attending daycare and doing overnight boarding there for over 15 years. They know what day is daycare day, and can't wait to get there. We love being able to watch them on the webcams and are thankful for a place and people they love when leaving them for daycare or boarding. Don't know what we'd do without them!

If I could give less than one star I would. Goldendoodles are known for their friendly loving outgoing attitudes. We know our puppy as everyone knows their puppy. He is family. The only way that Porter would try to bite is if he is being mistreated and feels like he has to defend himself. If someone has no patience with a puppy then maybe they are not compatible with the line of business they are in.

Our puppy has always been very loving and non aggressive. All the other doggie day cares that he has stayed at give him high marks on his report card. FYI No one should ever have to ask for a breakdown of charges. It should be afforded to you like any other establishment. A vet or a restaurant or a grocery store or a car dealer. SO ASK FOR A BREAKDOWN. CONSUMER BEWARE.

We left our puppy of 8 months at their facility after signing pages and pages of disclaimers. We asked if they could bath our 40 pound puppy before we picked him up and asked how much it would cost since they had our card on file. The employee looked at the dog and his weight and said $40.00, which we were surprised about since it was just a bath but they said they would do his nails too. We came back into town and they called us when we were in the airport and asked us if we were going to be there in time we informed them we would be there the next day as the paper work we filled out said.

They said can you be here at 8:00am or earlier since we are booked out. We showed up at 7:45 am they charged us for that day and 60.00 for the bath because the puppy was restless during the bath. They charged our card for payment without a break down we had to be home to break down the bill and realized we were over charged because there was no breakdown just a total slip to sign. $361.00 for 6 nites and a bath. We took a bath for sure! Buyer beware they have your loved ones.

My two girls absolutely love staying here! I have a three-year-old husky and a seven-year-old German Shepherd/collie mix. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure the dogs get the care they need. Ginger, The seven-year-old, doesn't always get along with other dogs yet every time she stays here she comes home absolutely exhausted from playing and having an amazing time. I am very lucky to have found this place!

I'm writing this review as we spend our last night with our almost 10 year old, Great Dane. I cannot express the sincere gratitude and appreciation I have for Jill and Jason and all of the You Work, I'll Play staff. They have cared for our sweet Murdoch since he was a puppy through weekly daycare and boarding visits. Every Tuesday, Murdoch knew it was daycare day and would go and stand at the door in excitement to go to You Work, I'll Play and see all of his friends.

We never worried when Murdoch was there as we knew he was always in good hands. Little did we know that this Tuesday was his last daycare day, but so glad he got to have one more before he goes over the rainbow. We will undoubtedly be back when it's time for our next family member to join us.

I take my 3 older dogs here once a week and board them a couple times a year. They are always happy to get there and sleep like babies when they get home. One of my dogs didn't socialize with large groups until she was 13 but the staff is very attentive to the dogs and they make sure the more rambunctious dogs don't irritate the older ones. This way she's learned to meet other dogs without being overwhelmed. I also know when they board that they're in great hands and trust that if anything were to happen, the owners would do what was necessary to take care of them.
