What Reviews Say

74 reviews analyzed

What's Up Dog is highly regarded for its attentive staff and success with anxious or shy dogs, with many owners noting their pets return home happy and 'pooped.' While there is significant friction with a specific neighbor regarding noise and a single report of a past staff physical altercation, the facility maintains a stellar reputation for safety and communication. Customers particularly value the Instagram updates and the staff's commitment to strict temperament screening to ensure a safe environment.
