Customers frequently highlight that their dogs return home 'wiped out' and happy, with many noting the staff's ability to handle high-energy rescues and senior dogs. While there is one significant safety concern regarding a dog ingesting debris, the overwhelming majority of feedback portrays a trustworthy, 'no-frills' environment that prioritizes play and personal care over high-tech amenities.

Worth noting

Ingestion of foreign object (plastic/metal) during daycare

“He threw up an enormous piece of plastic and metal after getting home. Clearly he was not being watched.”

Lack of digital monitoring/cameras

“If you actually care about your dog, go to a daycare that (1) has cameras (2) has you book a spot ahead of time.”

Grooming quality/Overcrowding concerns

“One trim they didn’t even cut my dogs hair at all none!! They have so many dogs there that they should be regulated.”
