What Reviews Say

72 reviews analyzed

Doggydo Kennel is highly regarded for its 'home away from home' atmosphere, with particular praise for the staff's ability to handle dogs with anxiety and the frequent Facebook photo updates. While the return of the original owner (Bev) has been celebrated by long-term clients, recent policy changes requiring dogs to be 'regulars' for boarding have caused significant frustration among occasional users. Overall, dogs appear exceptionally well-exercised and happy, though potential clients should be aware of strict pickup windows and booking priorities.

β€œI spoke to a worker on the phone and she guaranteed me a spot... I got an email the next morning saying they were booked.”

Restrictive policies for non-regulars(3 mentions)

β€œReally disappointed that Doggie Do is no longer taking dogs for boarding unless they're 'regular' clients.”

Operating hours/Pickup times(2 mentions)
