Worth noting

Dogs caged during daycare instead of playing with other dogs

โ€œStarted bringing my dog for daycare back in 2017, just found out in February 2023 she was being put in a kennel & they said she taken out in the yard alone to run by herself a few times.โ€

Facility closure with inadequate communication

โ€œOnly 24 hrs before I leave on an international flight and after I've already had my dog boarding confirmed for over a month I call to find out this place also didn't pass inspection and can't take my dogs.โ€

Grooming not completed as requested

โ€œWhen she got picked up, she looked like a totally different dog. There were specific instructions. People take their dogs to get groomed not change the appearance.โ€

Dogs stressed upon pickup (clawing gate)

โ€œWhen we picked them up they were clawing the gate to get out.โ€

Billing policy confusion(2 mentions)

โ€œThey charge for a new day if you pick up after 12. that means If you drop off at 2 and 3 days later you pink up at 1 (71 hrs which is one hr less than 3 full days) you get charged for 4 days. not rational.โ€

Communication issues(2 mentions)

โ€œBetween the miscommunications and the attitudes of the people who answer phones, this place has gone drastically downhill the last few years.โ€

Grooming quality inconsistency(2 mentions)

โ€œWhen we picked her up it was as though she was never groomed. She still smelled like wet dog with just a scarf.โ€
