The team here takes care of your dog, can't recommend them strong enough. My dog loves coming here and at the end of the day he has played so hard he's tired.

They are very kind people. They give you a tour of the entire facility. My dog gets separation anxiety but she seems to be okay when leaving her here, she has fun. Not entirely thrilled about the sleeping arrangements, definitely had better. They will do what they can to accommodate the eBay they can.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value Dogs left outside to bark all day with no supervision at all hours of the day. Not aware or respectful of surrounding community.

Our Lab puppy Choco has a ton of energy, but the staff here is so patient and welcoming every time we visit. He loves to go and we know the staff will treat him like their own.
