What Reviews Say

185 reviews analyzed

Riverwalk Pet Resort receives predominantly positive reviews with many praising the friendly staff, happy dogs, and good photo updates. However, there are serious safety concerns including three high-severity incidents: a dog escaping and remaining missing, a dog injured on premises without owner notification, and a dog returning unable to walk (later euthanized). Some customers also report cleanliness issues (urine smell), communication failures regarding promised updates, and dissatisfaction with new management policies. The facility excels in customer service and pet care for most, but the safety incidents represent significant red flags that prospective clients should weigh carefully.
