We have boarded them for the weekend and for up to 8 days while we were on vacation. Happy Tails is awesome!! To start, the staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive to the animals. I love seeing the pictures of daycare on Facebook every day. My boys always look happy, the other dogs look happy...it's a great time for all. They get excited and amped up every time I tell them that they're going to daycare. Unlike another "boarding/daycare" place in the metro area that we recently had a horrific experience with, it doesn't smell like urine or smell like dog at all, the staff is awesome, they're organized and a pleasure to work with. I have never worried about leaving the boys there because I know that they're well taken care of. An added bonus is that Spring Valley Veterinary is right next door, which happens to be the boys vet, in case they ever need to be seen. They come home exhausted from a full day of play with a big, tongue out smile on their faces. They for sure get a 5 star review from me!

This is a terrible place to board your pet. Sure, the facility is nice and in a nice part of town…read more The prices are fair. But the service is ridiculous and the people are rude. I was over priced by a full day and then lied to about how much they were charging me. Additionally, when I called to set up the boarding arrangement I was told my dog needed an additional booster shot. When I took her to the vet the doctor had no idea what shot she needed because she was current on everything. That resulted in me having to pay even more money. The dogs don't even get to run around, you have to pay extra just for them to go out in a yard. And a simple 5 minute walk is $4. So expensive for basic things that a dog needs. Every time that I would call there for information or to set up boarding for my animals the receptionist talked to me as if I were below her and treated me without any respect what so ever. I have worked with other boarders in the area and will never board any animal here ever again. It is such a huge rip off and the price isn't worth the service you get.

The text said that they didn't have a worker who could make it to the Northside anymore and that I needed to find other arrangements. Funny that my location wasn't a problem for 2 years. Anyway, I was told this on a Sunday when I relied on their services in 2 days. I was able to scramble and luckily found a trustworthy family member to take over. So I ask them to please drop my house keys off. *Frankly, I had no desire to use them anymore because they became unreliable*. I'm then told my keys were mailed to my house the day before. WHY WOULD YOU MAIL HOUSE KEYS TO THE HOUSE THEY UNLOCK?! I asked if they were mailed certified and hoped they were so I would need to be home to receive them. It's been 7 hours since I asked and no reply yet. Basic common sense, don't mail house keys to the fricking house they unlock!

DO NOT use this company. We say the great reviews and for the 1st time we decided they seemed…read morereliable enough to care for our furbabies. I was very VERY wrong. So the first person I talked to never even showed up for their consultation. Then I was assigned another one, Kat. At first she was very nice and I was very comfortable for her to care for my animals. I left notes around the house for her with toys and treats that were still in toy box when I got home. And the treats were never given out. She was also suppose to bring in the mail but instead it was left in the mail box and front porch. The only thing she did was scoop the boxes and fed the cats. I had bottled water literally right next to their fountain that only 1/2 gallon was used when we ere gone for 10 days? Then I tried to text Kat and nothing and then texted and called again nothing. I was in Florida and wasn't even sure anyone was taking care of them at this point. The worse part was when I called and spoke to Amanada.SHE HAD NO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHAT SO EVER!!! Never have I spoke to someone so rude. I wanted to know why their toys weren't put out or treats not given or the fact that there was bottled water for my cats that was never used and 2 of my Boys have problems with crystals in their urine so they can't have tap water. Thus the bottled water that was to be used. The litter boxes were just scooped and no new was put in top and there were 2 full unopened containers of litter right next to the boxes. So do yourself a favor and find someone else to care for your furry family members while you are gone out of town and not this horrible company.

The first night she was there I received a phone call. They explain that she had a quarter size wound on her hip. They offered to take her to the vet. But at that time I told them to keep an eye on it and on her and to keep it clean. I called twice a day to make sure she's doing okay. They went through their footage and saw that she might have gotten the wound from one of their gates. They kept her wound clean and bandaged the whole stay. The day I picked her up I took her to the vet ER. I informed camp bow wow of this visit and said they can credit me the amount of the bill. They made sure that I was okay with the credit, which I am. The vet also agreed that this wound did look like a scrape against a hard or sharp object. We also noticed she had a little scrape on her shoulder as well. She ended up with 6 staples on her hip. ..Accidents happen. I loved how they kept in contact with me about her stay and how open they were about the whole situation. I will be using them again
