What Reviews Say

136 reviews analyzed

The Dog House is a highly-regarded cage-free facility praised for its ability to handle high-anxiety dogs and its 'home-like' boarding environment where staff sleep on-site with the pets. While customers frequently mention a multi-year waitlist and difficulty reaching the facility by phone, the consensus is that the quality of care and staff expertise make it the premier choice in Bloomington. The facility maintains an exceptional reputation for cleanliness and personalized attention, including medical monitoring for senior or ill pets.
