What Reviews Say

137 reviews analyzed

Rivers Edge Pet Lodge is highly regarded for its high-energy daycare and socialization, with many owners reporting their dogs return home 'happy and tired.' While the staff is generally praised for being warm and attentive, there are significant recurring tensions regarding strict weekend hours and late fee policies. A small number of serious complaints regarding sanitation and health (kennel cough) exist, but the vast majority of long-term clients find the facility to be a reliable and affordable option for both dogs and cats.
