Puptown actually did my dog Hans and I a huge favor. I had previously scheduled boarding for Hans…read moreat a competing facility back in January in preparation for a trip to Japan in May. However, when we arrived at the facility the day before my flight to Japan, that facility told me that Hans boarding was being denied due to him having a heart murmur condition. Even though I had been a loyal customer to this facility for over 10 years, and that my flight to Japan was less than 24 hours away, and that they waited until I was at the checkin desk in order to inform me of the denial, representatives of this facility stated that there was nothing they could do and that they were simply following company policy. So me saying that Puptown literally saved my trip is a huge understatement. With no paperwork, and no pre-qualifying evaluation, Puptown took in Hans, heart murmur and all, and treated him like a prince. As a result, I'll always be grateful to Puptown, Hans' new found home away from home for the remainder of his life. Thank you Puptown!

I cannot say enough positive things about Puptown, the staff, and Shasta, the owner! From the…read morefirst meeting to evaluate our Akita, Shasta has been generous with her time and thorough with her suggestions for Hoshi's adjustment to boarding. Her evaluation and suggestions to help Hoshi were spot on! Recently, we had an overnight trip planned and a serious health issue came up with Hoshi. Shasta quickly worked out everything they could do on their end - hourly checks, photos and reports, including an emergency vet plan in place just in case. We feel fortunate and thankful for such caring, experienced, and knowledgeable people at Puptown - Hoshi's home away from home!

We couldn't recommend Doggy Lama Pet Care more, what a wonderful organization. Molly and all the…read moreemployees are amazing. Their pricing is more than reasonable, and the services are the best. Molly was recommended by a friend as "the dog whisperer" and that is correct. We have a little senior guy who loves other doggo's but doesn't have any teeth to defend himself, so it has been really difficult to find a boarder for him to be safe. Even having friends who he is familiar with staying at the house hasn't worked out. Insert Doggy Lama. We did a trial run of boarding with Molly, and he passed so we were able to schedule a weeklong vacation knowing he would have the best time. He got to hang out with some other senior dogs and have long walks in the wilderness and lots of doggo time. Molly kept us posted daily with pictures of our little man being a dog. The experience way outperformed expectations. We are working to sign our guy up for some walking adventures throughout the week. Go see Doggy Lama for all your needs.

We absolutely love Molly and the whole Doggy Lama team! From the very beginning, Molly has been so…read morecommunicative, kind, and flexible and she always sends the best photo updates that brighten our day. When Wilma first started going to Molly, she was a shy and timid pup who wasn't comfortable being off leash. Over time, with Molly's patience and care (and the help of Fabrizzio and the other amazing walkers), Wilma has grown so much in confidence. She now happily runs with the pack (with a long lead) and adores her boarding stays with Molly. I think she's sad when she leaves! We're so grateful for Doggy Lama and the great care and service they provide. It truly feels like Wilma is part of a second family. We can't recommend Doggy Lama enough!

The professionalism and structure they bring is unmatched. They manage their facility much like a children's daycare, every dog is carefully evaluated before being welcomed into the community, vaccinations must be up to date, and safety is clearly their top priority. The facility is incredibly clean, organized, and thoughtfully run. We also love all the extras they offer. From different levels of boarding (the highest tier even includes a special tuck-in and Kong treat!) to dog training, bathing, nail trimming, and their fully engaging playrooms, complete with Dog TV, play structures, bubbles, pool days, and themed activities, it's clear they go above and beyond to make every stay fun and enriching. They even include webcams for us parents to check in on them from time to time! Our doggie Herkules absolutely LOVES his Dogtime family. It is truly his home away from home, and he gets so excited every time we pull into the parking lot. As very particular dog parents, trust means everything to us -- and there is no place we trust more than Dogtime. Tony and Krista have done an incredible job since taking over the business. They've created something really special, and we are forever grateful to them for caring for our dog kids as if they were their own.

From day one, Roy made us feel completely at ease. He sent daily photos and videos of Dior having the time of his life with his furry friends, which was huge for us since Dior never really got to socialize like that before. Seeing him so happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying himself made all the difference. Roy clearly loves what he does and treats the dogs like his own. We couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their dog will be truly cared for.

Roy at PawPaw is truly amazing and the only person I trust. I came home to a beautiful, clean and better dog than when I left!! It's like she remembers her early training again-- she sits on command, is quiet on command (now HOW did you do that??!!) and is just perfect!! Holy cow!! Roy sends pictures and videos every day so you know that she is safe and happy. I loved seeing her "tucked in" at night with the other pups. I don't trust anyone else with my dog other than family and Roy. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog. I appreciate it more than you know.

Their fenced in play area has large umbrellas and misters that spray fine mist when it's hot. They love love love dogs here. I have not met one apathetic employee in the years my dog had been coming here. Everyone here is as amazing as these reviews imply. I owe my dog's health and happiness to her weekday daily routine of several walks and play times, baths and other spa day services when she is here.

To say that working with Victoria has significantly changed our lives for the better would not be…read morean overstatement. Our pup Pluto started walks with Victoria at about 18 months. He is a sweet, high energy dog but with his energy levels, he can be a lot. He also has a lot of anxieties and in particular has anxiety around people touching his neck, which can make it hard for people he doesn't know well to take his leash on and off. And he struggled with this and the busy environment of a daycare. As soon as Pluto started walks with Victoria, she was extremely patient and he took to her immediately. The leash issue only took a couple walks to get over, and he is ecstatic with his walks and pack. He goes on walks multiple days a week when we are at the office all day, and it is such a relief knowing that he is in a safe environment getting his energy out with his friends. Victoria is fantastic. She truly loves her pups and sends pics every time they go out on a walk. She also is extremely reliable and they go out every walk rain or shine. She also approaches everything in partnership. Instead of presenting anything that comes up as a problem, she presents them as an opportunity to work together and find a solution. We feel so fortunate to have met and work with Victoria.
