What Reviews Say
139 reviews analyzedThe facility is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and engaging activities like 'bacon bubble' days and photo sessions. Most customers report their dogs are excited to attend and appreciate the transparency provided by the live webcams. However, there are significant concerns regarding the safety of small dogs in mixed-size environments and a rigid membership-only boarding policy that has alienated some long-term clients.

Worth noting
Injury due to improper size grouping/negligence
โThey took the gate down bc they thought he would do better outside the gate with the other dogs... my pup was bitten. I picked him up and he had 2 puncture wounds.โ
Physical injury (ripped nail) and victim blaming
โMy 16 lbs Norfolk Terrier had the nail of one of his paws ripped off here. Then they have the gall to suggest that my dog was terrorizing the other humongous dogs.โ
High dog-to-staff ratio and overcrowding
โThe amount of employees that work there compared to the ratio of dogs is dangerous and worrisome.โ
Strict boarding/membership policies(2 mentions)
โThey have a policy that requires weekly attendance of Daycare... unless she attends weekly daycare when she is not boarded, she can no longer attend.โ
