What Reviews Say

3 reviews analyzed

The facility receives strong praise for its core services—staff are described as wonderful, attentive, and loving; the facility is clean; and dogs consistently return happy, healthy, and tired from fun daycare days. However, a significant red flag emerges around management, with one reviewer specifically calling out a manager (Janette/Janet) as rude and toxic to employees. This single negative review about leadership contrasts sharply with the otherwise positive experiences described in the other two reviews.

Worth noting

Manager (Janette/Janet) described as rude, lacking knowledge, and treating employees poorly

She's beyond rude has no knowledge and treats employees like absolute trash. She should not be working there and is bringing the whole store down.
