What Reviews Say

47 reviews analyzed

Great Dog Days enjoys near-universal praise with 46 of 47 reviews giving 5 stars. The single 1-star review appears to be a disputed scheduling conflict where the owner claims a medical emergency. Customers consistently highlight Lesley's exceptional communication (photo/video updates), genuine love for animals, reliability, and flexible scheduling. Many reviewers note their pets don't want to leave and specifically mention the bonded/insured business model as a trust factor. The owner responds to nearly all reviews with warm, personalized messages.
