Report
Our Golden Retriever Sally is a big fan; an active 18 month old puppy, she goes to day care 3 days a week and spends all day romping with the other dogs. Yesterday we picked her up after she was boarded for 10 days while we were out of town and she was soft as silk from brushing. She was very happy to see us and spent the day chasing balls at the dog park and slept with us, but in the morning she set herself up by her crate where she goes to get ready for day care, and she was very happy to go back. What makes Sally happy makes us happy.

Doggie Do Rite is the most incredible boarding and daycare. Our sweet gal Puck has been going there since we moved up the the suburbs 5 years ago. Taylor & Connor love her tremendously, so much so that when she had a health scare earlier this year they called me personally to offer support. This place genuinely loves dogs.

Keeping it simple. Great people, care and love for all dogs. Worry free when I leave the dogs for a day, weekend or week. Again, these people care about their customers and their dogs! Big thanks to Doggie Do Rite!

Derby loves coming to daycare at DDR! We go on Wednesday and he seems to know the day. His excitement is quite evident at both the house and when we arrive. The staff also seems quite happy to see Derby. Thanks for taking great care of Derby Do!

My Dog has been playing & staying here for as long as we've had her (7 years). She gets so happy the moment we turn into the long drive because she knows she's going to get to see her furry friends a be greeted with a friendly face. They always love on her and treat her like one of their own dogs. We both highly recommended Doggy Do Rite and give it 5
