What Reviews Say

37 reviews analyzed

Rose City Dogs Cully is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, particularly for small dog daycare with attentive staff who send daily photos and provide enrichment. The facility scores very high (4.5-4.9) across most categories, with notable strengths in staff friendliness, dog happiness, and communication. However, three 1-star reviews reveal serious concerns: a dog was kenneled despite explicit instructions not to, another dog was kicked out for fighting without staff intervention, and a third got sick from eating unauthorized food. These safety and communication issues bring the safety score down to 3.5. The owner responds to 95% of reviews, typically in a professional and warm tone, though occasionally defensive when addressing complaints.

Worth noting

Dog was kenneled despite explicit instructions not to kennel and advertised 'cage-free' environment

โ€œWe explicitly stated he is not kennel trained and gets severe anxiety... We picked up our puppy after 6 hrs and they said he had been kenneld 3 times.โ€

Dog kicked out for fighting without staff intervention to separate

โ€œshe was kicked out for fighting... how do you see that a dog is anxious... see it get into two fights and not separate it before the third?โ€

Dog repeatedly got sick from eating unauthorized food despite allergy notes

โ€œour dog got sick 3 times over 6 months because she was fed things she wasn't supposed to haveโ€

Kenneling/crate use contrary to owner instructions(2 mentions)

โ€œWe explicitly stated he is not kennel trained... They told us no problem and they don't use them by default. We picked up our puppy after 6 hrs and they said he had been kenneld 3 times.โ€

Communication failures about dog care(2 mentions)

โ€œThere seems to be some inconsistencies in the communication... staff state that they reported to you that your 1+ year old husky had a great time in daycareโ€
