The online portal makes it easy to book. My dog seems happy there and they share pictures of the dogs on their Facebook page so you can look forward to seeing them while you're away- this is probably my favorite part. I also used their "Spa Works Package" and my dog came home smelling like blueberries! I definitely recommend. My only suggestion: the process for Express Check in is weird - you go the website and download a form but you can't fill it out on the computer if you want to. It says to print it and bring it but I don't always have access to a printer - so an online form (or a fillable PDF you can email)would be a lot easier!

Play N Stay STC is the absolute best place to board! My little guy is 16y/o; so, he's blind, deaf, incontinent, etc. & They have so much patience & took wonderful care of him on a recent stay (& anytime we've boarded him)!

We love being able to bring Dexter when we are away from home. They take such good care of him and we love being able to see the pictures at the end of every day. Thank you all for everything you do.
