What Reviews Say
84 reviews analyzedJust Like Home Pet Hotel enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (66 of 84 are 5-star) with consistent praise for caring staff, clean facilities, and happy dogs. However, there are serious safety concerns including a reported dog death, injuries requiring vet care, and a UTI case. The owner responds to most reviews professionally but occasionally appears defensive in dispute cases. The facility scores highest on staff friendliness and dog happiness, but safety scores lower due to several concerning incident reports. Most reviewers are repeat customers who appreciate the separate dog units and photo updates.
