Emmy is very high maintenance but Amanda will do everything and more with no complaints. And for a very fair price. Emmy loves going to Amanda's because she knows she will be cared for and attended to. Amanda knows each dog by name and personality, and she is always patient, attentive, and professional. She will send photo updates throughout the day so I can see our little Emmy having fun with the other dogs. Amanda's space is clean, safe, and spacious for all dog sizes. Emmy always comes home tired but happy which is great for her and us. I can't recommend enough.

From the owner: At Another Barking Dog, we offer more than pet care. We provide a personalized, boutique experience…read moretailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup has a special diet, medical needs, or just thrives on routine, we create a home away from home that feels familiar and safe. Each dog enjoys their own cozy sleeping spot, whether that’s a comfy kennel or a warm bed next to a trusted friend. Peaceful beach sounds play in the background throughout the day and night, helping drown out outside noise and create a calming, low-stress environment. We also specialize in caring for senior dogs and understand the unique needs that come with aging. From quieter spaces and slower-paced walks to gentle handling and extra patience, we make sure your older pup feels secure, comfortable, and respected at every stage of life. This isn’t a loud, high-volume boarding facility - it’s a peaceful, structured space where dogs can rest, play, and be themselves. We focus on connection, comfort, and quality not quantity. Tail wags upon pickup are the norm around here, because your dog can’t wait to come back!

I called my vet only to find out they no longer do boarding. But they recommended Happy Hounds. After checking out Happy Hounds online, I called and had the pleasure of speaking to the owner, Brian. He explained I needed to create an account online and once established, I could make a reservation for Molly (THE sweetest Yorkie ever!)..Brian further advised that the first visit is always free! Now that is a real tail-wagger lol. I also told Brian that Molly is a little shy around other dogs and he said he'd keep her up at the front counter with him. The next morning I woke up before sunrise to what sounded like giants stomping on my roof. Molly started a barking spree which I knew would not stop until my roof my done! So we headed to Happy Hounds on Beach Blvd. Brian and a very friendly dog greeted us. I could see and hear many dogs just having a great time in the open area. You have to smile when you see dogs running around like kids on a playground at recess! Brian reassured me he would keep Molly up front with him so she'd be close to a human. (I don't know if it's a Yorkie thing, but she likes to be near or on a person at all times!) I noticed that Happy Hounds is arranged in such a way that you don't need to worry about your precious pup escaping and exploring while there. The neat thing is, you can still see the dogs while they are kept safe. I picked Molly up around 1 PM and there she was, still safe behind the counter - happy, and hanging out with a shy Poodle. Happy Hounds entrance has fencing and a gate similar to what you see around swimming pools...the open metal bars and you have to push down on a knob for the gate the open/close. The gate automatically swings shut once you are inside. I was a little concerned about the location as it's right off of busy Beach Blvd. The fenced access is a great touch. When we were leaving, little Molly did slip through the bars and so she was outside while I was still inside the gate. But I had her on a leash, so everything was OK. Just wanted to mention this in case you have a 10 pounds or less pooch! Thank you Happy Hounds for taking such good care of Molly! You saved her (and me!) from what would have been an extremely stressful day.

The owner would not allow me to see the accommodations to ensure my pup would be safe. It just seemed like he wanted the dog and for me to get out. Additionally, the place was so hot. I can't imagine a dog or human being comfortable in that muggy, stinky heat. I instantly changed my mind, took my pet back and left. Do not recommend at all.

There is a large in door room that the dogs can play in when it's cold, and there is a shaded canopy outside for them when it's hot. I wish Tom the best, I hope Pawstars grows into a successful business where he can hire more staff to accommodate the growth. You can tell when you visit, that Tom works really hard to make the dogs and people feel welcome. It's not about selling fancy food and accessories it's about the dogs.

I'm really not sure what happened... but we will not be taking our dogs back here again. We will also make sure to let folks know that they should look elsewhere for day camp and boarding needs. If you're considering giving them your patronage, read this first. To give a little context, one of our dogs is anxious and chews their crate pads. What has occurred in the past is we get home and less than 12 hours later our anxious chewer pukes up handfuls of HARD plastic. They get crated during 12-2p for 'cleaning' so they turn the cameras off and we've been unable to catch this negligence in action. We've called and tried to figure out what's happening in respect to this issue, multiple times, since it's a recurring issue. Most recently we had to board them a couple nights and when we picked up the dogs, lo and behold the same issue (see pic). We had to board them from Friday to Monday 7-19-21, the picture is from Tuesday 7-20-21. While we appreciated the responsiveness, they completely deflected blame. Yes, they apologized but proceeded to tell us that it's "new staff" and "we have to remind them every time" just like "if they were our toddlers." Since this was not the first, second, or third time this happened we had assumed this was an action that should've occurred already. A last final follow up on the occurrence from Tuesday was a text saying they decided they were removing the crate pads. See pic of text. We have given them too many chances and that's on us. We had to take them in during the day Thursday 7-22-21 due to construction on the house. We were fooled into thinking they would remedy the situation immediately. Cue me waking up at 5:30a to take out the anxious pup so she can puke up. What was it? You guessed it, black hard plastic crate pieces. Which could cause some major health problems, and endangers her health. We have seen the staff completely ignoring the dogs, texting instead of paying attention, and have had them come home smelling like they were stuck in a room with too many dogs and no cleaning. We kept going back thinking these were all flukes. The owner was right, we DO need to treat them more like our toddlers because we should have NEVER have gone back. We have been too trusting and listened to words instead of letting the actions of the people who "love them like they were [their] own" speak for themselves. Maybe the franchise is OK but this location is not. A final note: I just spoke with a manager who took a look at their file for me and confirmed it did indeed have a note re: specific dog not being able to be crated during lunch. The date on this note: MAY 20, 2020.

When I picked up my 10lb small dog back in June, he reeked of urine. They gave me wipes to clean him up as well as a bunch of excuses. No big deal right? Well six weeks ago I took him again, thinking it's been a couple months for them to reset. This time, I watched on the camera. Suspecting this was urine (see my pic) I went and picked him up. He smelled absolutely disgusting. I went through six wipes that were turned completely yellow just from cleaning his feet, I should have photographed them on the counter. You guys, they are not taking care of our animals! The manager actually said to me, "This happened the last time you were in here." I asked about no one being in the room, she said short staffed. I asked about the urine, she apologized. I asked about the play equipment being removed, she said it just keeps breaking. I have requested the owner call me, nothing. A colleague experienced the same with her pup and she met the owner one evening at 5:30. Same attitude I got from the manager. She gave her my contact info directly, still nothing. They owe me a couple hundred dollars for prepaid services because I will never go back here. Please be the voice for your animals they don't have. --------update------ The day after I posted this review, the owner called. She indicated she was unaware of this situation and apologized. She also refunded my 5-pack. She said she would pull the tape, review and go from there. I added one star to my review because she did the right thing.

I feel badly for both the owner of the cat and the owner of creature comforts. I can say that in 25 plus years we have boarded multiple breeds of very aggressive dogs without incident that many a boarding kennel might have turned down. My dogs were shown love and compassion that it's hard to find. They took the time to learn intricacies of the breeds we brought to them. They even used an exercise period for one dog to train him to point!! I cannot recommend them any more highly... Again my condolences to the cat owner.
