What Reviews Say

178 reviews analyzed

Gulliver's Doggie Daycare receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with 85% 5-star ratings. The facility is praised for exceptional dog happiness (dogs excitedly jump out of cars), friendly staff who remember pets by name, excellent value ($10 baths, reasonable boarding), and quality facilities with pools and play areas. However, serious safety concerns exist: multiple reports of dogs being injured on-site (broken leg, bite requiring surgery), dogs contracting kennel cough, poor incident communication, and allegations of dogs left in unsanitary conditions. The owner responds professionally to all negative reviews. Long-term customers (5-20 years) are common, though a few concerning reviews suggest potential issues with overnight boarding supervision and facility cleanliness during peak periods.

Worth noting

Dog injured at facility requiring surgery - owner blamed dog for being 'nosy'

โ€œMy dog was bit while at daycare there and the staff and owner told me over the phone that he had a 'nip' and a 'small tear.' When I arrived to pick him up I was mortified to see his ear was mangled. He ended up needing surgery. Vet bills were $590. They NEVER called to ask me how he was or if they could do anything. The owner told me 'he was asking for it' since he's a 'nosy' dog.โ€

Dog left in urine for 10+ hours, no responsibility taken

โ€œShe is a white dog so you can visibly SEE the yellow urine all down her back side. They left her like that for over 10 hours! I sent the owner an email which included other issues I had, and her response was to try and place the blame on my dog, told me she received the bath which was clearly not true because the pee was still on her and had crusted, and she did not take any responsibility for what happened!โ€

Puppy broke leg while at facility, not properly crated as requested

โ€œWithin 5 mins of dropping her off, I get a phone call that my puppy is not walking on one of her back legs... Turns out, my puppy broke her leg at Gulliver's... We came back the next day to pick her up and guess what, she was not in her crate, but roaming around inside a pen!!โ€

Dog came home with serious injuries/illness with no staff concern

โ€œShe came home with raw pink pads on all 4 of her paws. What bothered me the most was that Gulliver's response to me was that they didn't notice her paws even though my dog was there for 7 days! She also had sores on both of her lips, conjunctivitis and kennel cough.โ€

Dogs boarding returned sick, smelling of urine, facility overcrowded

โ€œI have boarded my two dogs there 4 times- Twice they have come home extremely sick and all 4 times have come back smelling like urine. There is no one there to watch the dogs overnight so they dogs are crated for roughly 12 hours. The place is overcrowded and I don't believe they sanitize the facility frequently enough.โ€

Dogs returned covered in feces, fed wrong food causing allergic reaction

โ€œMy dogs were boarded here for one day only. They came back to us covered in feces. Not only that, but we were extremely specific that one of our dogs was allergic to most dog food, and provided her vet-approved meals. However, it was clear that she had been given other food because she also had an allergic reaction.โ€

Kennel cough/illness contracted at facility(3 mentions)

โ€œhe caught Kennel Cough from the place. we called to let them know and they said o yeah he was the 4th to catch it.โ€

Dogs returned smelling of urine(2 mentions)

โ€œall 4 times have come back smelling like urineโ€

Poor communication about incidents(3 mentions)

โ€œThey NEVER called to ask me how he was or if they could do anythingโ€

Staff rude at front desk(2 mentions)

โ€œEmployees were rude what the hellโ€

Grooming issues - nails cut too short

โ€œCocoa was sent home with his nails cut far too short to the point of bleeding.โ€
