What Reviews Say
102 reviews analyzedThe Gnarly Dog is an exceptionally well-regarded dog boarding and daycare facility in Rhode Island with 98% of reviews being 4-5 stars. Customers consistently praise the compassionate staff, spotless facility, and the genuine love shown to dogs. The owner (Jackie) is described as educated, accessible, and continuously improving the facility. While there are two concerning grooming incidents (one severe), the overwhelming majority of customers express complete trust and satisfaction, with many being repeat customers for years. The only minor criticisms relate to slightly higher pricing and occasional grooming inconsistencies, but these are far outweighed by the positives.
