My sister lives in Florida and I live in NY. She had a stroke and was rushed to ICU and I had to find a boarding place for her senior, anxious dog immediately. Brandy didn't love being around other dogs either so it was a difficult situation. I made calls from NY to boarders, explaining everything and how desperate my family was because there was nobody to take her. Pablo at Arfington worked with me and took our sister's girl into their pet resort. We thankfully have a very close family friend (we only have 1!) in Florida who took Brandy there for us for her first stay out of her home ever. It's now been three weeks, my sister is in her last days of life and Brandy is thriving in this new environment, thankfully. But she still needs a new home live out her last few years. Pablo has been posting videos of Brandy on instagram for us since she needs a new home because neither my other sister or I can take her. Our hearts are broken because we are animal-lovers, but I have animals with anxiety issues and cannot bring another animal into my home and my other sister cannot have pets in her apartment. Friends and family have been sharing her story all over social media. We are still looking for a new home for this sweet older girl and Arfington has been wonderful during this difficult process. We cannot thank them enough. I HIGHLY recommend this pet resort. Thank you Pablo, Camilla, Dominique and the entire staff for taking care of our special girl while we find her a loving home.

Arfington Pet Resort - Brandy - Pet Training Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

They take such great care of my Sadie and she loves going to daycare. She is so excited to see the ladies at daycare and is very relaxed and comfortable with them. The facility is very clean and everyone is very welcoming also helpful. I would definitely recommend them. read more

My dogs have been boarded here in June 2025 for 10 days. They came home so happy! I have also used them for grooming. The new owners are so lovely and caring. They treat the dogs so well and keep them safe. They even gave my Cocker Spaniel a birthday party and filmed it! read more

Do not recommend this place to anyone's furry loved one. My dog came back distressed. If he could talk I would not hear a nice visit. My dog has diarrhea, hot spots weight loss after boarding here. Asked to see the back and they said they didn't have insurance for me to go back there. Never again.... read more

The absolute worst!!! Lots of hidden charges and do not care if you're loyal customer. My dogs all ended up not feeling well. We have been using this facility to kennel our dogs for almost a decade. Since the change of management it has gone down. We were told call us so we can give them a bath before pickups but was hit with an additional charge for not picking up before 9am which was not communicated. It is disheartening that I will have to tell my family and friends that I previously suggested to use this facility to use somewhere else. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE. NIGHTMARE. It's a husband and wife team. I picked up by two dogs who were given back to me soaking wet. When I asked for them to be dried the large man who is the owner told me no and asked that I leave. I refused until they got dried and he began yelling at me to leave. He eventually threatened to fight me. These people are disgusting. If this is how they treated me, I can't imagine how horribly they treat our pets. I will make sure NO ONE leaves their precious pets with these monsters. read more

Love love love this place. I relocated to Okeechobee County, and every chance I get I still take my dog there. That should speak volume for the owners and how they love the fur babies. Number one place in book. Wish they could move here to Okeechobee. read more

Our girl's been going there most week days for the last two years. She loves it, they clearly love her, and it's only since we moved away from the area and have had to look for a new daycare that we've realized just how above and beyond Rachel and Chris go. We can't find another place that even comes close. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. read more

Clean fun place for place for the dogs, especially if you have no one to watch your pouches. Highly recommended. read more

Arfington Pet Resort - Just another day at the pet resort.... - Pet Training Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

Our dog loves Arfington. The owners really seem to love the dogs in their care and take the time to get to know their personalities. This is where our dog stays when we go out of town and she's always excited to go see her friends when we drop her off. read more

I lived in Ft. Lauderdale two years and brought my dog, Casey, to Arfington every chance I got. She loved the staff and interacting with other dogs. Location was great and easily to get to. They were also open early and closed late, allowing me to take her there on my way to work or pick her up late if I stayed past 5 at the office. read more

Let me start off by saying I was skeptical at first about this place , maybe it's because I've never left my dog in boarding and I've never been to this place or heard anyone else talk about it. So I first called to get more information because I visited there website , and the prices seemed reasonable. I now know it was the owner that answered , she was very nice and respectable she said I can bring Chance my dog down to scope it out and see the place . I came two days later right before closing , chance seemed to like the place it was clean and organized and secure the cameras at the front desk let you see the whole "campus" (not the best word but w.e.) . One of the trainers came out and my dog took to him immediately. I was a little worried because my dog isn't the best around other humans and he has sort of a temper (Jack Russell Terrier) . I was also worried about him getting along with other dogs , so they took one of the dogs that was being housed to play with him and Chance did awesome . I was shocked . They told me I can bring chance back in for a half of day of day care or an overnight for free, I did , and when I came to pick him up he was excited to see me but he didn't want to go which was a good sign for me . It made me feel more comfortable about leaving him for 4 days. In the end the people at Arfington were really nice they gave me a detailed update every time i called they didn't seem frustrated of annoyed with me and they took really good care of my dog. When I came to pick him up at short notice they gave him a bath and he was ready to go. Thank you Arfington we will be back soon. read more

My 10 lb Maltipoo was there for 6 days, he came home with the worst matting of his entire life!! Worst I had ever seen even on homeless dog!! Had to get him totally shaved! Chris the "manager" needs major lessons in communication and empathy (if he was the best they had to promote to manager that explains alot!!!) They used to be a great place, had been going there for many years, totally lost the touch!! Give them a miss until they figure it out, not worth it. My dog means more to me than what Arfington offers!! NO LOVE read more

I just picked my dogs up from Arfington after an 11-day stay. They came home happy and healthy. The young couple that owns Arfington is so caring and truly treated my pups like they were their own. They posted many pictures on FB, which really made me miss them just a little bit less. I would not hesitate to leave them there again and will be using their daycare facility in the future. It's great to have a safe and fun place to leave my pups and also support a small business. read more

Perfect place!!I left my two puppies there for 1 week.They called me each per day information for them.I was so happy. When I took them I saw they were so happy.Highly recommend.Thanks guys read more

Worst place ever!!I left my 2 dogs there and while I was out of town they told me my golden retriever hurt his leg but it was not bad.When I got home he was limping on 3 legs and could not do anything with his back leg.He was really bad.It came that he tore his acl and needed surgery.They would not call me back or return my calls.The manager never called ever to speak to me once to even see how he was or apologize.The guy at the front desk gave me attitude when I called as if I did something wrong then eventually when I called they would not even answer the phone.The place is very unprofessional and very shady.I ended up paying all the costs for surgery which came to 5000.00.Their lack of concern for my dog was ridiculous.They really do not care about our pets and the way he got hurt is questionable to me!!! read more

We made the mistake of leaving our dog here when we went away at Christmas/New year's. Upon our return, our pet had a severely dislocated hip & required surgery (her health was fine when we left her). They told us that they had no idea what happened & would not pay for her medical costs. She's was never the same & died 6 months later. read more

Great place! My two pugs spent the weekend and seem very happy. As a bonus they were exhausted so slept all day after pick up! Great staff who know the dogs they care for at a clean pup friendly facility! Will certainly send my kids to arfington again! read more

took my mini poodle here to stay a few hours long. She's usually nervous of strangers but before I left was off the leash outside with the worker and he's trying to pat her and play even though I advised that she is very nervous already. I didn't understand why he was forcing her to be social upon coming in after I made it clear but I had to leave. I get a call minutes after leaving to come get her. he dragged her by her neck with a rabies stick and put her in a cage saying she wouldn't come willingly. when I arrived I wanted to assist to avoid further damage to my dog and instead the manager lady who works their tried to fight me for trying to go get her. They wrangled her again by her neck right in my presence. I was worried for her because how are you handling a small dog with force if the owner is right there? Obviously its a bigger issue that needs to be addressed with the workers here. I noticed marks on her neck. A worker even stopped me while I was getting into my car crying with my 6LBS pup and told me its common. I heard they treat the social animals good and mistreat the ones who don't. they are not a good facility. I love country inn pet resort if anyone need advise on where to go. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

We have had Hershey, our Chocolate Lab for nine (9) years and utilized Arfington's resort services. Recently Hershey stayed at Arfinton for the past five (5) days and upin his return we noticed: 1. Hershey sustainted an injury and lost the padding on the bottom of his paw. Staff never contacted us to let us know while we were away. Staff never informed us when we picked him up. We took him to the Veterinarian and was told that they allowed him to run on hot concrete for extended periods of time causing him to loose the padding. He is on medication to address the padding issue. This is an exhibit of neglect! 2. Arfington was supposed to groom him prior to pick up and didn't. They only blow dried his hair and he smelt awful! 3. Hershey's behavior is depressive. He isn't playing, wagging his tail or barking as he usually does. Even though he cannot talk, his behavoir is evidence of neglect and/or abuse. 4. Hershey lost a lot of weight while under thier care, which tells me they weren't feeding him as instructed. Veterinarian put him on a special diet to increase his appetite and to help him gain the weight back. We are very disappointed!!! We love Hershey dearly and feel terrible that he was neglected. If you love your pet and want to have piece of mind, do not send your loved one to Arfington. Seek alternative pet resort services. read more

This place is a bit shady. We booked our dogs in a large suite, however when we picked the dogs up they said the dogs were put in a premium suite. This was not what we requested and they would not change our bill. Also, our dogs acted like they received no exercise although Arfington claimed to take them out several times a day. read more

We've been coming here for almost four years. Our little dog Rocko likes this place better than our own home! They treat him like royalty, always accommodate, and really care about their customers. Let's not forget the manager Chris he's a terrific guy and our dog just loves him! read more

We have been taking our two dogs Duchess and Roobert for well over 5years. Arfington Pet Resort is clean, has a great staff and has all the amenities. Marti does a fantastic job of hiring caring animal loving people who share their love getting to know our dogs. We highly recommend Arfington as a great boarding place. Our dogs are so excited whenever we get near Arfington. Our Roobert loves the doggie pool. Arfington is the definition of a fantastic Pet resort. We always feel peace of mind that our dogs are well taken care of by people who love them and that they enjoy the facilities being able to be in a great resort with pools and running space. read more

Awful experience for our dog!! We left her here over the Memorial Day weekend. When we picked her up on Monday she was limping, had fur missing and scrapes on her front elbows like someone had dragged her and and eye infection!!! Needless to say I was shocked at the condition she was in just after two days of being here. I called Arfington to tell them about it and the lady on the phone said " these are dogs and these things are fairly common" so apparently I am not the first one to have these issues at their facility?? I have never had any issues with boarding my dog at other places. We are new to the area so had to find a new place for her. Sadly we chose Arfington. Lesson learned the hard way. We obviously will not be going anywhere close to this place again. read more

We used to take our dog here for doggy day care a few times a week, and boarded him once when our usual boarding facility was booked up. The pricing is great and the staff seemed really nice. However, we started noticing ticks on him after we brought him home. They were dead since he's on flea & tick prevention, but it was still a little disarming. Then, after boarding for a weekend, he developed a cough and pneumonia a few days later. This was enough for us to stop taking him to Arfington. Also, we never saw another tick on him. read more

I needed a place to board our Rottie mix who does not like strangers and I called around to discuss my concerns with a few different places. Marti answered and showed interest in us and my fears and said she could accommodate our special needs with our dog. I brought her to visit first and then to board and aside from a few minor things we were very happy with knowing our dog was safe and secure and cleaned up after even though staff could not handle her. Our dog was not the typical customer but they treated her and us as welcome guests and that was our main objective. I needed her fed her own food, comfortable with her own bed and safety of her and the staff was our utmost goal. I would recommend them and board with them again. And they were recommended to me by a personal friend. Thank you Arfington Liz read more

I will never board here again after my experience with this place!!!! My puppy was limping after 1 day there. They claim her pads were sore from playing but NO way! Her pads were burnt from being on hot concrete. I have the pictures to prove it. We took her out after 2 days instead of the 4 we needed. We also said she is to be only with the smaller dogs since she is 4 months. They put her with the bigger dogs when Dog Training Fort Lauderdale {I did use them for in house training but have since stopped} was training an agressive {according to staff} dog and they used my puppy for training the other dog. My puppy also came home sneezing. read more

My dog lucky loves loves loves this place. im very happy that they spend most of the dog outside being social with other dogs. Cheap and very clean. Odd location but very happy with my service and very happy that my little guy is worn out when i pick him up from daycare. Thanks again guys see you soon :) read more

HORRIBLE Experience!!! I left my dog there for 2 weeks. I brought 10 cans of food (he gets 3 meals out of each can) and a bag of dog food. He was supposed to have the "Full grooming" - I paid $50 for not the $20 grooming. When I picked him up I was horrified...he was covered in knots - the poor guy was so uncomfortable - I had to take him to another groomer to shave his knots. I was told he ate all his food - which was a lie becasue he is a small 25lb dog - but that was OK because I know other dogs will benefit. I was very upset about the groomng. The owner was NASTY - she said "it is what it is"...I was shocked - this woman is in charge of caring for animals????!! I asked the name of the groomer so I could call him directly - she refused and began SWEARING at me!!!!!! It was very bad - No Professionalism and no care of the dogs.......SAVE YOUR PET - GO ELSEWHERE read more

Arfington is great!! My dog Guinness is having the best time there and when I called to check in they already had a report card for him! I highly recommend arfington for any of your pets! Thanks again arfington! read more

Arfington is an amazing facility. We frequently bring our dogs to board and the staff is exceptional. The dogs love being able to wade in the special doggy pools and have lots of supervised fun in the sun. Very highly recommend this pet resort. read more

We left our bulldogs there this past week and we are very pleased with the service our doggies received. The staff is very pleasant and professional. We called to check on them everyday while we were gone and they answered the phone and gave us our updates - even on Sunday! My dogs love to go there and play in the pools. It's good to know that we have a place to leave them when we go away. I highly recommend them. read more

I am fortunate enough to walk dogs at this pet resort(voluntarily). The staff seems to really care about the boarders. This was especially apparent to me when we had our first seasonal hurricane. The employees did not just board up the facility, but Chris and Marty stayed overnight with the animals. You can't get much more involved than that. read more

When I brought my Great Dane in for 2 nights I was very explicit in the fact that he has hip and back problems and cannot go out to play with the other dogs. I would like him to rest and only go out to relieve himself. When I picked him up today my poor boy could not walk. They had to bring him out with a towel around his middle to hold him up. I am so upset. I brought him in there standing on all 4 legs and this is how they gave him back to him. read more

My dog loves to go to Arfington! She especially loves the pool! The staff is caring and professional, I highly recommend!

We went and put our dog there for 4 days while we went away on vacation and when we went to pick up our dog, he seemed fine, but I guess not, after boarding he was violent, you can't touch his feet and if you get too close to his ears he freaks, so obviously they did something to my dog and will never go there again! read more

Arfington Pet Resort is the perfect home away from home for your dog or cat. They have three divided play yards so that your dog goes out to play in a group that fits his/her play style. They also have two pools so the dogs can go in and out as they please and keep cool on those hot Florida days. This place is great to bring your pet if you are on vacation and maybe your hotel doesn't accept pets, and even if they do why would you want to leave them alone in the hotel when you can send them to daycare and let them have a vacation too? A lot of people I know drop their dogs off before they go to work and swing by afterward and pick them up on their way home. I love it because my dog is so exhausted afterwards he is sleeping in the car before I get him to the house! Its great to be able to relax and know that my dogs day was just as full and probably even more exciting than mine was.I used a coupon found in a pet magazine and even got a free bath the first time. Try them out, you wont regret it! read more

I had a terrible experience with this place. I left my dog there for 4 days. First of all he was not ready to pick up. It was 8am and they had not fed him yet. The $20 bath required was not done. In 5 minutes my dog was ready and all wet. While waiting I heard my dog crying badly at the groomer room, which is unusual. When I got home I notice that my dog couldn't stop scratching his back. When I look at his entire nec, shoulder, and back was full of bites. The bites was swollen it was something really nasty. Poor dog. They didn't say anything and covered it up with a bandana. Now I know why he was crying when they were bathing him. I wish I could attach pictures to show how bad it is. He was also skinnier. One more things they have no procedures when I dropped him of I was looking at the windows to see the dogs and I literally watch one of the employees passing my dog to the other employee through the top to the high fence. The employee inside the play area dropped my door from almost 6' and luckily he didn't get hurt. This shows how professionals they are. This place has not sence of responsibility and they don't assume their mistakes. I don't recommend this place to anybody. read more
