What Reviews Say

309 reviews analyzed

The Pets Inn is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 95%+ of reviews being 5 stars. The facility excels in communication (sending daily photos), staff warmth (especially owner Gustavo), and value for money. Dogs are described as excited to return and treated like family. However, a small number of concerning reviews (about 3%) highlight occasional issues: dogs returning sick, facility odor problems, and some communication failures when issues arise. These appear to be isolated incidents in an otherwise exceptional operation. The owner responds to nearly every review with warm, personalized messages showing genuine care for customers and their pets.

Worth noting

Dogs returning sick (coughing, kennel cough, ear infections)

โ€œI had my 2 dogs here for over 2 weeks and paid over $2,000, only to have them both come home sick and coughing.โ€

Facility cleanliness issues (urine smell, dirty conditions)

โ€œI was overwhelmed by a strong urine smell. I understand that they have animals, but the odor both inside and outside the facility was unbearable.โ€

Dog altercation/attack during stay

โ€œI received a report stating that my dogs were involved in an altercation. This is perplexing since they have been together for nearly a year without any issues.โ€

Unsafe cleaning chemicals

โ€œDoes not have safe cleaning equipment. so the dogs aren't surrounded by bad chemicals.โ€

Dogs coming home dirty/needing bath(4 mentions)

โ€œYour dogs will likely be dirty and smell upon pickup.โ€

No facility tours available(2 mentions)

โ€œUnfortunately, they don't do tours, and don't allow you to see where your pet would be staying at all.โ€

Grooming services unsatisfactory(2 mentions)

โ€œThey also did a horrible job with grooming. We asked to leave ones neck and tail long, but they shaved the tail.โ€

Communication issues when problems arise(2 mentions)

โ€œInstead of listening, you began offering excuses and suggesting it could have been caused by my other dog.โ€
