What Reviews Say

179 reviews analyzed

Playmate Kennels and Stables enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 90%+ 5-star ratings. The facility is praised for its caring staff (especially owner Gina), reasonable prices, clean environment, and happy dogs that excited to return. Long-term repeat customers are common, with many using the facility for 10+ years. However, there are serious red flags: one review alleges severe neglect with a dog returning bloody and sick, another mentions a respiratory illness contracted at the facility, and a few mention communication or grooming issues. The owner responds to nearly all reviews but with generic 'Thank you' messages, suggesting limited engagement with feedback. The facility appears best suited for dog boarding, particularly German Shepherds, though potential customers should note the isolated but serious complaints about care quality.

Worth noting

Severe neglect allegations - dog returned with raw/bloody joints, lethargic, sick with diarrhea

Every joint on him is raw and bloody. I'm assuming he spent the duration (4 days) locked in a cement kennel. He was Extremely lethargic.

Dog contracted respiratory illness while boarding

Got a respiratory sickness from there.

Dog behavior changes and weight loss after boarding

My dog's behavior was off, had accidents at night, anxious, lost weight.

Communication issues during boarding

Zero conversations about care, rushed picking up and not good communication during stay.

Incomplete grooming services

She didn't do anything but trim his bangs. The mat's he had when I bought him in, he still had when I picked him up. He wasn't clean, nails not trimmed, paws not trimmed, not brushed out.

Booking/communication failures

Terrible communication with this company. I tried to book boarding, but they refused to communicate at all.
