What Reviews Say
145 reviews analyzedUberdog receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with 85% 5-star ratings, praising the caring staff, clean facility, and happy dogs. However, concerning patterns emerge around safety incidents (dog attacks, injuries), hygiene issues (dogs returning with urine/feces, giardia), and management changes since being acquired by Destination Pet. Several negative reviews cite overcrowding, poor communication, and dogs being kenneled for extended periods. The owner responds professionally to negative reviews. Long-term loyalty is strong, with many customers using the facility for 5+ years, though recent management issues have caused some longtime customers to leave.
