I really hate it when I can't take my dog with me on business trips but this place does a wonderful job keeping doggo happy. I go for all the extras on stays. My dog is worth it.

We have used Friendly Grove for our dog for the past four years. They have done an exceptional job taking care of Bo. They take great care of her. They contacted us once to let us know she had some stomach issues (most likely something she ate prior to dropping her off) discussed care options and provided treatment. Then they followed up to let us know she was fine so we wouldn't worry during our vacation. Bo enjoys going there and playing with her friends. We are able to enjoy our trips knowing she is being taken good care of.

I was there with a friend to pick up her dogs after grooming. I was very impressed with the quality of the entire facility and the interaction I observed between various dogs and the people who worked with them. It was a treat for me to drive back into the area because I used to live around the corner on 33rd before the facility existed.
