My dog LOVES Dog's Day Farm. And she comes home exhausted. The staff is amazing and are always excited to see that Olivia Louise is coming! When we board her there, I love receiving updates and photos of her little "vacation." read more

My dog used to be really shy, but now he runs inside without even looking back at me. That says everything about how great this place is. The staff are wonderful, the facility is very clean, and the dogs are clearly well cared for. They also send me pictures every time, and my dog can't stop smiling in them. It's so reassuring to see how happy he is there. So glad we found this daycare! read more

We LOVE Dog's Day Farm! They are wonderful! Our dog loves to go there and can barely wait to get out of the car before she starts running off to play with her friends. We do the "day" playgroup each week and she stays there whenever we go away. I am very particular about who I would leave my dog with and when I leave her with DDF, I pretty much don't think twice about her while I am gone. The staff are great and they always send updates and pictures and I can see that she's having a blast. The owner's Kelly and Matt are great, too. I have had questions about my dog being a bit of a picky eater and Kelly has been so patient answering my questions and reassuring me how to handle this. I am very grateful we have DDF to go to each week. Wonderful place! read more

Absolutely the best. We love Dog's Day because they care so lovingly for our dog, share daily updates and pictures while we are away, and always go the extra mile to make sure pet care is the easiest part of the travel equation for us, no matter where we are going or why. Our dog loves, loves, LOVES Dog's Day. He is treated like a king there, enjoys pets and attention, fresh air and exercise, and meets up with all his buddies, human and canine. He's a laid-back, beta kind of dog but he enjoys every minute with the pack at Dog's Day--so much so that we have to spell out f-a-r-m because he gets excited at the thought of going. Highly recommend, it doesn't get any better! read more

Dogs Day Farm is a dog wonderland for dogs like my dog that love to play with other dogs, get loving and careful attention from humans, and have safe access to lots of fun things. My dog was timid and scared at first, and my son has a couple of dogs that can be exuberantly enthusiastic. The staff understood the differences and did an amazing job helping all of the dogs adapt. When I arrive, my dog eagerly trots to the gate and can't wait to join his friends. When I pick him up, he is happy to see me, but does not want to leave the farm. While he is there ,I get daily updates and amazing pictures. My dog is a rescue, and it is so hard to find a place where he has 24 hour access to people, indoor space with all kinds of dog friendly toys, furniture, and comforts, fresh water, and outdoor places to run and play. It is obvious that the entire staff is well trained, kind and, loving with the dogs. What an incredible place to bring one's dog knowing with confidence that they will have a wonderful time, be safe, and happy. read more

Dog's Day has been a game changer for me and my dog! I was very concerned bringing him to daycare as he has already had two elbow surgeries (he's a year and a half old) and the staff has been wonderful about monitoring him, giving him breaks and giving him medication as needed. They are always communicative and I love getting picture updates during the day! I've been using them for farm trips where they pick the dogs up and drop them off and it's the perfect amount of exercise and socialization for my dog! I highly recommend Dog's Day for farm trips, daycare and boarding. They will treat your dog like their own family! read more

We absolutely love Dog's Day. They take great care of our pup and we enjoy the daily updates/pictures. If there's ever an issue, they have been great about communication and discussing. The staff has been very friendly and they really seem to enjoy caring for the dogs. While we always miss our four-legged family member when we're away, we're also comforted to know she's in great hands. read more

The friendliness, professionalism and kindness to our dog is reassuring that he is in great hands! Our dog gets lots of playtime and affection from all the staff. read more

I am so happy to have found this place. I have a 2 year old abused rescue that was very skittish, and very unsocial when I first brought him here, almost a year ago. It took awhile for him to want to even go in. Now he loves going and can't wait to get in side and play. Being with other dogs has restored his confidence and greatly improved his social interaction with other dogs and people. I have nothing to say but good things about Dog Day Farm and would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for quality day care for their dog. read more

In my wildest, most doggie obsessed dreams, I literally could imagine a more perfect place for dogs. From the moment we stepped foot on "The Farm," we knew it was a very special place. Our first visit was "The Interview" which was a chance for them to get to know our dog and her temperament. Matt met us this first day, slowly and thoughtfully introduced our dog to some other friends who were already there, and patiently answered my questions about The Farm. I learned more about this magical place where the dogs run free, have ample cozy indoor space for bad weather and rest time, and safety and communication are paramount. They are methodical and purposeful in the best of ways. When she was deemed a good fit, I was thrilled. Over the next several months, we brought her to daycare about half a dozen times. For each visit, I received incredibly kind, reassuring, helpful feedback about how our dog was doing, in addition to the most insanely wonderful photos of our girl living her best life. Last night, our dog spent her first night at the Farm. And although she had some separation anxiety, we could not be more happy with how Dog's Day Farm Handled it. They excel in three very important qualities that are incredibly rare with other facilities: excellent communication, incredibly warm and well-trained staff, and a serious love of all dogs-- including yours. Even though my girl's first night was not the best, they made it clear that they want to do everything they can to make her comfortable on her next visit. Her happiness and well-being  (AND mine) is their number one priority. When I met with Jenna this morning, she was warm and encouraging, offering myriad suggestions for how we can make our dog more comfortable for her next stay. I could not have more confidence in this group of wonderful humans to take the most extraordinary care of my dog-- and all the others lucky enough to walk through those farm gates. From the idyllic setting to the loving staff to the professionally run facility, Dog's Day Farm is truly heaven on earth for pets. We cannot believe a place like this exists and feel incredibly fortunate to have found it. read more

So far I have only begun to experience Dog's Day, and I love what I've gotten so far. It was recommended to me by a friend who sends her dog there regularly. She loves that it is really a place FOR dogs. Her dog loves going there and comes home to her happy. They don't crate the dogs all day and give them short periods of exercise. They let the dogs in the giant high fenced yard to run and play together and inside they roam around the office. Needless to say, the dogs must be good with people and dogs. Inside the dogs roam around and the staff works with them and around them. It's like being at home. So my experience has begun with calling them to get advice on some good, positive reinforcement dog trainers. Matt took my call and spent over ten minutes giving me ideas and leads based on our needs. If the experience there is anything like my experience with their business before even having set foot on the property it's going to be amazing. He mentioned they also have staff who do in home care for dogs if the dog isn't necessarily a good fit for the day care. So please patronize them! And stay tuned for more updates once Jelly Bean has had her first official stay with them. I give it a resounding WOOF! read more

Our dog comes home happy and pooped out from all the playtime. We love getting the pictures and daily updates especially when our dog has extended stays at the farm. read more

I cannot say enough superlatives about Dog's Day! It is a beautiful facility that is designed and laid out for the dog's comfort and health. DD has three large completely enclosed grassy areas for the dogs to play in. At night the dogs are inside what is essentially a doggy living room with beds couches and blankets. The staff love dogs - they are knowledgeable caring and friendly. They are highly observant of your dog's health and social behavior. There were 8 dogs when we visited - the most noticeable thing was the dogs were all calm and happy. That is the vibe at Dog's Day and it permeates the dogs and the staff. I have had dogs all my life (69 years). Dog's Day is by far the best Boarding facility I have used. This is a very special and unique place. read more

I cannot say enough good things about dog's day farm. We feel so fortunate to have found this place and to know our pup is in such good and caring hands when we leave her here. They know dogs and their behavior so well -- as evidenced by the interview process to make sure your pup is the right fit. Matt really knows his stuff. The employees are also rockstars -- genuinely seem to enjoy working there. But my favorite part is the text updates with pictures. This is where they go above and beyond. It's the best thing to see a picture of your pup and to know a little bit about their day. Thanks Dog's Day! read more

I love Dog's Day! I can't say enough wonderful things about Matt and Kelly Brown. They are truly outstanding people- parents, animal lovers, and business owners. I have worked with them for over 2 years now, and entrusted them with my dog Honey at least 4 times. Some more info- About the owners- they are the type of people that make you believe in altruism. They are so genuinely friendly and outgoing that it still continues to astound me to this day. Kelly spends a tremendous amount of time with dogs, and I still see her face light up when she sees cute doggy pictures and memes. Perhaps more amazing, is their unparalleled work ethic! They are always on the move, always accomplishing some task. There are a lot of dirty and off-putting responsibilities that come with a business like this, and they shoulder the burdens even when I'm around (anyone else would leave the grunt work to the grunts)! The business- many companies will promise you 3 hours or three breaks from their kennel. Not this one. The dogs go wherever and whenever they want on the property, and they are always under careful supervision. This is a very successful company (often at capacity), and there is good reason for it! Personally, I like to run with the dogs until they get tired and nap, then move from dog to dog, providing individualized attention. Just come for an interview and see for yourself. read more

Absolutely love Dog's Day. My aussiedoodle has so much fun running around outside with all his friends. Have boarded my dog here too and he loved it. Highly recommend. read more

Dog's Day is the absolute best! We've been taking our 5-year-old lab, Khloe there for almost a year now. I work mostly from home, but when I need to go to the office this is my go-to. The staff is extremely friendly and responsive, and the best part is that they send daily pictures. Some of the best pictures I have of Khloe are from Dog's Day! And when we have to board her there for multiple nights, she's so happy and excited to be with her buddies. I never have a single worry leaving her in their care. I love that while I'm at work, or away on vacation she's active and socializing with other dogs and people - her favorite! read more

Finally we have found THE place to take our sweet dog. We both have jobs so rather than leaving him alone during the day we have looked and tried and looked again and tried again to find a place where the dogs are allowed to run and play outside all day instead of being kept inside and we found it at Dog's Day. In the initial meeting Matt(co-owner along with his wife) met us and showed us around. We brought our pup in and Matt gradually had someone let one dog and then another dog out into the yard to see how they were together and then another etc. Soon, J was playing with about 8 other dogs and having the time of his life. They have a lot of staff who all seem to really love playing with the dogs. What I really appreciate about the pricing structure is that it is a flat fee, there is no extra charge for potty walks or extra play time. It is perhaps a little higher in price than some places BUT I don't even give it a second thought because of the quality of care and atmosphere. For J to be able to be outside any time during the day and to run as much as he wants is all we want. Oh, and by the way, he is exhausted when we pick him up! Nice. We tell everyone about Dog's Day! read more

Matt and Kelly offer a fabulous boarding service. They clearly bring a great deal of knowledge to pet care, and, just as importantly, care for the well-being of the dogs they watch. Our 1yr old energetic German Shepherd spent five days at Dog's Day and was in great spirits when we picked her up; not the least bit stressed or anxious. She's not exactly low-maintenance at this stage, but Matt and Kelly embraced her playfulness and obviously gave her plenty of attention. And they updated us regularly on how she was doing and what a great time she was having. I highly recommend Dog's Day, particularly if you're boarding a dog that needs room to run. read more

Everyone at Dog's Day is amazing! They always take such good care of our lab, often sending daily pictures of what he is doing. He loves going on his own little vacations! I highly recommend Dog's Day Farm to anyone looking for boarding. read more

Dog's Day is a wonderful place for daycare during the week or for boarding needs. The staff is very conscientious and obviously love caring for dogs. I have been taking my golden retriever there for about 3 years, and she is now well-socialized for both people and other dogs. I have no nervousness about boarding my dog as Dog's Day has designed their boarding with no kenneling and complete 24/7 care. It is a beautiful property with many areas for the dogs to play or just nose around. It is a well-run business and very responsive. The handlers will often send pictures during the day or post them on their website. It is a great place! read more

Our sweet Labradoodle, Chelsea, had another great daycare day at Dogs Day Farm today. We are sooo grateful to have such a safe, well-run, and happy place to take her. We have tried other doggie daycare places, but Dogs Day is far and way the best. We've also boarded Chelsea there while traveling, and we have never had a worry about her well-being. The staff are professional, friendly and clearly all super dog lovers. Highly recommend Dogs Day to anyone looking for a caring place for your beloved dog! read more

Dog's Day Farm is truly a hidden gem that I am so glad I stumbled upon. My dog Nugget is about 1.5 years old and has a bit of separation anxiety along with being a bit shy around new dogs. Matt guided me through the entire process from setting up the evaluation, filling out the necessary forms, and engaging with me the entire time during Nugget's orientation. A slow introduction was done with the other day care kiddos which helped to put my girl at ease. Within a few short minutes Nugget was running around the farm happy as could be. The following day I signed Nugget up for day care and I got several updates with pictures letting me know how my girl was doing. It is clear to me that she was beyond happy the entire day and the staff was wonderful. Shout out to Natalie and Sam for capturing some of the best and most hilarious photos! It is so refreshing to have individuals who truly love their job and share the same passion of allowing dog's to have a fantastic day! read more

I have been searching for a place to take my three-pack during the days when my SO and I could not be at home or have the time to stop by during the Dayton let the dogs out. I now have peace of mind with Dogs Day. Staff are attentive, friendly and are knowledgeable about each dog's personalities. and I appreciate the pics they text me throughout the day. Their property is huge and there's a good balance between activity and down time. I plan on boarding the dogs there as well when the humans go on vacation. read more

My dog Gabby has been going to Dog's Day for almost three years. She looks forward to her visits to Dog's Day so much that My wife and I have to spell out F-A-R-M because she gets excited if she hears the word "farm". Matt and company really care about your furry family member and take the best care of him or her. They send photos when she's there of what she is doing. read more

We LOVE Dog's Day, and Matt and Kelly; more importantly, our dog loves them, too. They are a wonderful family who know dogs. The initial introduction of our dog to the pack was incredibly well-orchestrated: all had plenty of time and opportunity to become comfortable with one another, and for us to see the property and the house. The dogs have lots of room to roam in the large back yard and inside of the house--no kennels, lots of comfy pet beds and bowls of water, and a movie room where the pack relaxes. Dogs know good people, and I trust my dog's response to this family. She perks up when we get close to their house; and when we happened to run into Matt on the road one day, Juno nearly wagged herself to pieces, she was so happy to see him. If you need to board your beloved, this is the best place. read more

Best dog daycare around! Lots of outdoor fun and the whole staff is awesome! Plus the overnight care is cage free!

I was very unfamiliar with dog boarding/walking services until I came across Dog's Day Pet Care. I was so happy to find a service that would come and pick up my dog, let him have a blast and run around with other dogs and then drop him off at an affordable rate (and with just a days notice, too). Matt and his team have been more than accommodating to Reddick. Sadly, we are moving out of the area - but I would recommend them to anyone with a pup who is looking for boarding, walks or the best - Farm trips!! read more

Staff seem nice but when there was an issue with one of my dogs i would have expected them to call me about it and discuss both during and after than just an email. I think they take good care of their dogs and dogs have fun. Just need better communication and dialog. read more

First time my almost 1 year old puppy has not slept at home. Took me and my son several months to research where he should stay. Last minute we canceled a place we found on rover and chose Dog's Day. We read every review and it had no impact on what we decided, things happen and we choose what we think is best for our little one.This was the only place my puppy did not have to be crated at night while he slept! They had several places your dog can choose to sleep, That was very important to my family. When we visited for the first time with Ganta (my dog) the owner was very careful on how he introduced my dog with other dogs (evaluation process) they had walkie talkies and video monitors. My dog has never played with other dogs prior except for puppy kindergarten, so i was very nervous something bad would happen (Everything turned out GREAT). I was gone for 7 days. I received daily pictures with a text message on how he was doing. We all ran to the phone to see/read. That was amazing!! I was super worried he would miss us and get depressed. He had a blast! He ran for the first time off leash in a gated farm area TONS of space for him to just run and play with other friendly dogs. I recommend this place for your dog.. go get evaluated and see for yourself! read more

This is our first time using this business and we love it! We are half way through our vacation and we get a text each day with a picture about what our Labrador is doing. My family waits for the update to see who she is playing with! It has helped us miss her less. Thank you! read more

Our dog gets so excited whenever we get suitcases out because she knows she gets to go to "camp!" We love knowing that Dixie will be so well taken care of, with daily text pictures of her playing with her friends. The staff is always so friendly and professional. It is so reassuring that she is enjoying her vacation as much as we do ours! read more

Since I wrote my original review, Matt and Kelly both have harassed both Chris and I via email instructing us to take our review down. I do not know who the hell you think you are Matt or Kelly, but we have every right to negatively review your business or any other business for that matter! It would be one thing if our review was false, but any way you look at it YOU KILLED OUR DOG BAILEY while he was in your care. Nothing you say or do changes that. You should not be "shocked" that we would give you a negative review. Both of you must truly be delusional to think that we would just quietly go away after you KILLED BAILEY! As for your claims that you are such a great family with integrity, well, we beg to differ on that one as well. You have the nerve to email us about how killing OUR dog has affected YOU? Really? Are you that narcissistic? How dare you even suggest or rather, command, that we take down our review? You must be kidding if you think that is going to work. As a matter of fact, we are more than willing to use your own words and emails against both of you to show just what kind of people you really are. Someone with integrity, as you claim to have, does not harass a family after they KILLED their dog. They also do not try to BRIBE the family that they have been harassing to take down their negative review!!!! Really, you are going to try to bribe us? You two are despicable people. By you own admission Matt, you only had four dogs in your care the day our dog was killed. If you can not manage four dogs without killing one of them, you should not even be in this type of business. You should have stayed in the coffee business, at least you couldn't kill anyone there! Anyone who brings their dog to your business after you killed a dog, attempted to keep that a secret (you said yourself that you never told your other clients that something happened), and then tried to bribe the people affected by the accident to keep quiet so it doesn't affect your business is really just asking for something to happen. This family may put on a good front, but their behavior alone shows that they should not be trusted to care for any pet you truly care about! By the way, ABC News did an article about businesses who pay people to write good reviews about them on YELP. You might want to check that out, since it appears the two of you will go out of your way to try and make yourselves look good! read more

We have been taking our dog to Matt and Kelly since we got her, and since shortly after they started their business. We have total confidence in the Browns and their family, and love that we can go out of town without worrying about our dog at all. She loves them, as evidenced by how excited she is when we drop her off. She comes home happy, healthy and always a little tired after all the playtime she gets. read more

2 years ago today, I was Downtown in DC in a training course for work and got a call from Theresa. I will never forget my shock and panic from her voice and being upset. Bailey, our 5 year old black lab in 2012 got hit by his handlers truck by the very same person supposed to take care of him while at dog day care racing after other dogs running off too far on a farm. He did not make it, was hit in the head and was told he probably was knocked out if not felt any pain from the impact. I will truly miss my spinning 4 legged boy. WE TRUSTED THEM AND HE STILL LET THEM OFF LEASH, no fenced in area like he does now. HE USED HIS TRUCK TO GO AFTER THE DOGS...SERIOUSLY ???? SOMEONE HAS NO CONTROL OF THE DOGS, LET A LONE GET IN A TRUCK AND CRUSH MY DOGS SKULL and waited about an hour before calling my wife. I still to this day do not know how he went to the vet and he still did not have the other dogs in his possession with HIM BEING THE ONLY ONE THERE and still manage to race to the vet. DOES NOT MAKE SENCE AND LIES AFTER LIES. IT IS TRULY AMAZING all his reviews on his Facebook page are 5 stars, really ??? ONLY the ones he chooses are on there, not even a 3 or 4 star....let alone my dogs death and no mention of him making a mistake before and taking care of the issue as best as he can. I WILL CONTINUE TO POST, I DO NOT FORGET AND TO SAY GET OVER IT....LETS TAKE MY TRUCK AND SEE WHAT DOG YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE WITHOUT !!!! read more

We love Dog's Day Pet Care! Our dog Lily always figures out where we are going while we are on our way and she gets so excited that she tries to jump through the window of our car to get there faster. When we finally arrive, whoever is holding her leash has to run to keep up with her because she can't wait to get inside. All of the staff at Dog's Day are dog lovers. They send frequent photos and videos so that we can see Lily having a wonderful time both inside and outside within their large fenced in area. When Lily has slept overnight at Dog's Day, she watches tv with the family and sleeps in bed with any family member she wishes to stay with. We never have to worry about her being alone or scared or in a crate at an institutional boarding facility. The owners, Matt and Kelly, are responsible, flexible, and always willing to take our calls and answer any questions we may have. They have given Lily eye drops and medications when necessary. I never thought that I could have such peace of mind leaving our beloved girl, and I am so grateful that a place like Dog's Day exists for us. read more
