What Reviews Say

12 reviews analyzed

This facility enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (11 of 12 are 5-star) with repeated praise for exceptional dog care, happy dogs, and caring staff who treat pets like family. The single 1-star review is a significant red flag describing extremely rude behavior from a male owner during a simple inquiry, which raises concerns about customer service consistency. The high proportion of empty reviews limits detailed analysis, but the substantive reviews indicate a quality operation that commands premium pricing and operates primarily through referrals.

Worth noting

Owner extremely rude to potential customer during inquiry - argued with them and almost slammed door

The male owner was extremely rude to me throughout the brief conversation and asked how I found out about them. He then argued with me saying they were not on the internet and practically slammed the door in my face.
