    Absolutely the best place I've boarded my two dogs! We boarded for 11 days and they were taken such…read moregreat care of! I was so grateful they were available so I could have peace of mind leaving them. When we dropped them off we were given a tour and everything was explained to us how they'd be handled while we were away! Each day I texted for info or a photo of them and they were always quick to reply and very helpful! This really gave me a lot of confidence they were safe and enjoying their space! The facility is clean and well organized! I appreciate that the dogs are separated by size. Neither Roxy or Jake seemed stressed or bug eyed exhausted when I came to pick them up! They were mellow and were clean and their things were gathered for us to head home from the airport! When I've picked them up from some other places, my Roxy would seem disoriented and overwhelmed! So I was beyond grateful she appeared relaxed! We will be sure to use this location for all boarding needs in the future. Even though it's far from us, it was nice to be able to trust our babies were well taken care of!

    Backyard Dog Care was a literal lifesaver for me since I wasn't neutering my puppy at 7 months old…read morelike all of the other doggy daycares required. Until I found them I was seriously stressed out about what to do for daycare for my puppy. I spoke to Brandon on the phone and he instantly put me at ease. I took my puppy in to check things out and ended up leaving him there to play for a few hours. I love that they have an actual outside area for the dogs to go out and play in. And most of all - my puppy comes home exhausted after playing with his friends all day! Thank you Backyard Dog Care for always taking great care of my puppy.

    Dear Pet Parents, I have known Leslie the owner of Old Farm…read morePet Resort for many years, if you need day care for a day or several days I recommend Leslie, she loves every dog as if they were her very own. My little Jack Russell would try to jump out of my hands when I would go through her door and the dog saw her. I had a situation were my husband passed away, I moved to Seattle to be closer to my kids and had someone I thought would take good care of her. Their situation wouldn't allow them to keep the dog so I thought of Leslie, I told her about my situation and how sad I was so I flew back to Salt Lake and Leslie met me at the airport. My dog remembered Leslie and her anxiety totally was goon. She keep my posted on what was going and let me know that my little dog was with a new family that love her so much and my little dog has new friends that (yellow labs) love to play and are having such a good time. Leslie is by far the very best she truly love all dogs. Susan H

    DO NOT BRING YOUR ANIMALS HERE! I've boarded my dog here 3 times within the last few months. First…read moretwo times she came back with infected paws. This 3rd time she had cuts on her rear paws and they would've become infected if she stayed any longer. Staff ignored my request to put her cone on over night to prevent paw licking. They do not follow your feeding instructions. They couldn't give me a confident answer if she had eaten or not when I picked her up and they told me she ran out of food which surprised me as I always pack more food than what's needed for the stay. I question if the animals are ignored by staff too, the dogs outside are free roaming and I've never seen a staff member out there. All these issues under "New Management". Avoid this place if you care about your pets.

    I used Merrypets for group hikes for my dogs. My dachshund would come home appearing happy, and I…read moreassumed he was having a great time. Looking back, I think he was just happy to be home. I started noticing he would growl when I touched him, which was very out of character. At first, I didn't think much of it, but as it worsened, I examined him more closely and was shocked to discover scabbed areas under both of his front legs, resembling severe rugburn. After another hike, I checked him immediately upon return and found his front legs raw and bleeding in multiple spots, with his fur matted in tight knots. I took him to urgent care, and the veterinarian confirmed the wounds were fresh trauma. My dog is 8 years old and very active, but because he's never been off leash before, I had specifically requested that he be kept leashed on hikes. The other dogs were off-leash, and I worry that while trying to keep up with the group, the handler, Caitlin, may have dragged him when he couldn't keep pace. I reached out to Mary for an explanation but received no clear response or indication of concern for my dog's condition. I asked Mary if she would cover the vet bill. Instead, she said she wanted to speak directly with my vet. When I brought that request to my vet, they informed me that she did not have a right to access my pet's medical information due to HIPAA laws. Despite everything, I was kind enough to let the situation go--but I refused to pay the bill for the hike where my dog was injured. Now Mary is charging my account anyway. A good business owner would have shown concern and at the very least offered an apology. Instead, she has shown no empathy and no accountability. This experience was incredibly distressing. I cannot recommend Merrypets based on what happened and how poorly it was handled. My dog has had no more injuries since he stopped going out with Merry Pets. He's happy again and no longer growls at me.

    Our fur babies love hiking with Merry Pets. They look forward to their hikes and are well taken…read morecare of. Highly recommend!! Trust them completely with my boys.
