What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Pawadise is a highly popular dog boarding and daycare facility with an overwhelmingly positive reputation, earning approximately 93% five-star reviews. The staff is consistently praised for their genuine love of animals, with daily Facebook photo updates and detailed report cards providing excellent communication to pet owners. While the facility excels in dog happiness, staff friendliness, and value, there are notable safety concerns including multiple reports of kennel cough outbreaks, two allegations of employee misconduct with animals, and occasional hygiene issues. These red flags are relatively rare but warrant attention. The owner responds to every review professionally and promptly, demonstrating strong engagement. Most customers are loyal repeat visitors who appreciate the caring environment and reasonable prices.
