I visited/toured 8 different pet boarding places before selecting Dog Days Tempe for our fur baby. I love the couches they have available for him to relax. They provide toys and play-time. I also like the outdoor area because in the summer when it's super hot, they can water down the concrete and it also has shade. They place baby pools for the dogs to play as well. One thing I also noticed is when I drop off our dog, there isn't any crazy barking.the dogs are all happy and content, no anxious barking.it's quiet and peaceful.

We also appreciated the videos they post every day on Snapchat so we could check on our dog while away from home to see him playing and having fun.brings peace of mind knowing that he's well cared for.

My three senior dogs love Dog Days! Mike & Gabby run a great facility here. It is easy to book. I feel confident that my dogs are having a good time while there. I had gone to one other dog daycare in a different state where one of my dogs was so anxious I felt horrible bringing her. That doesn't happen with Dog Days. :

My mini Aussie has been going there since he was four months old. He loves Mike and Gabby. When we get there he runs to the door, he is so excited. They take great care of him. I feel comfortable leaving him there because I know he is being treated great and he loves his dog friends.
