We've been taking our dog Maggie to Happy Puppy for both daycare and boarding for several years and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Kevin and his team are absolutely amazing. Communication is always easy, and they've been incredibly accommodating whenever we've needed anything. We are always greeted with smiles and it's clear the entire staff genuinely loves what they do. The biggest sign for us is Maggie herself--she gets excited the moment we pull up and can't wait to get out of the car and go inside. That says everything. When we travel, we have complete peace of mind knowing she's not just being taken care of, but truly being loved and spoiled. Highly recommend Happy Puppy to anyone looking for a place they can fully trust with their dog. read more

Finn loves it there, we've been customers for a long time, at least 5 yrs.!! Kevin's great, and the employees truly love dogs.

Theo is new to Happy Puppy - his temperament visit was so well done and welcoming. Justin was excellent greeting him and building a rapport before introducing Theo to all the 'veteran' dogs. The first week he was welcomed by name upon arrival. Theo is so excited to get dropped off! We are so happy to be part of Happy Puppy! read more

We have been sending our dog to Happy Puppy for daycare for the last 5 years! She goes only a few times per month as we originally started for socialization back during Covid. Even though she's only there a few times a month, all the staff always knows her name and is so kind when we arrive. I like that they post videos and photos. We have never done boarding but we have had her bathed there. She's an anxious dog but has grown comfortable with them! I like that we can book online and cancelling a date is easy. I've only experienced a few times that they are booked the next day if I try to book and am too late. Overall we really enjoy sending our dog read more

Happy Puppy is the most amazing place! Captain is a better dog because of spending time here. The staff cares about the dogs and takes great care of them. I highly recommend! read more

We love Happy Puppy for daycare and boarding! Kevin and his staff are incredibly responsive and attentive. They understand dog behavior and how to accommodate each dog's needs. We have sent two dogs here over the years - one a shelter pup riddled with anxiety and the other a crazy lab puppy - they both love going to Happy Puppy. They also provide grooming services, which is incredibly convenient too. read more

I've been bringing my Lab Bear to Happy Puppy for the past 3 years based on a solid recommendation, and she loves going there! Kevin was super nice and clear about the services and care of the dogs, and he's been a valuable support and help when I've needed advice over the years. The staff are warm and kind and get to know and care for the dogs. My girl can't wait to get in the door in the morning, and comes home tired, happy, and hungry at the end of the day. Kevin and his staff are terrific, and it's a huge relief to know that they'll take good care of Bear when she's there for daycare or for boarding. So glad we found HP! read more

I highly recommend this place. Even though my dog ended up not being the right fit, if your dog is take them here! Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and he is selective with dogs for a reason, he only takes dogs that get along with his pack and there are not many day cares that would do so. Also, I went inside for the testing and he walked me through the process and was transparent the whole time. I was extremely impressed as I've been to quite a few day care facilities at this point, the facility was clean and organized. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I couldn't be happier with the the care my Daisy May receives at Happy Puppy daycare! Just talking with Kevin for the first time made us really comfortable. Daisy Mae went in for her evaluation and had one puppy daycare session before we had to go out of town for a family emergency. she was only six months old at the time. We were so worried about leaving Daisy Mae but Kevin and his team took very good care of our little girl and also sent us pictures! That's one of the best things about Happy Puppy is their attention to detail and communication. I receive daily updates and photos of my Daisy Mae having a blast with her friends. It's so comforting to know that my girl is having fun! When we pick her up after a day of playing, she gets in the car and falls asleep fast which lets us know she had a fun day! Daisy Mae gets so excited when we drive up to Happy Puppy. She can barely get out of the car fast enough and wants to be let in immediately. I highly recommend Happy Puppy daycare for any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their puppy! Kevin and his team are FANTASTIC! read more

The best place if you love your dog like I do! Caring, clean and 100% fabulous. I've been taking my dogs there 10 years, love it.

I want to give a shout out to Happy Puppy Doggy Daycare in Naperville! Kevin, Tim and Shalom are absolutely awesome. We are moving in a couple of weeks and Happy Puppy Doggy Daycare and Cage-Free Boarding - Naperville will be tough to replace. Sunny has been so happy there. Thank you Happy Puppy read more

We are so thankful we found Happy Puppy for our Dog. She struggles with anxiety but you would never know it once she arrives for puppy care! We love the daily videos and photos because we can see how happy and active she is. She is so excited the minute we mention she is going and is always exhausted the night after from so much play. They offer a large window for pick up and drop off and are open 7 days a week and the staff is so friendly. This is great for us since many places don't offer daycare on the weekends. We have also used their boarding services and could not be happier with the care our dog received. I highly recommend using Happy Puppy for both daycare and boarding! read more

I cannot say enough good about Happy Puppy...from the wonderful staff, to the owner, to the facility!! Best facility, hands down, for daycare to boarding...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

We had our dog there once for a weekend, and she LOVED it. Service was good and responsive, and everything worked out well. However, we tried to book her again for a weekend, and despite an email, a few phone calls, and a text, we never heard anything from them. I'm baffled as to why they would ignore us and lose our business. I realize they are still pretty new on the scene, and the care they give their dogs is truly very good. It just seems like they need some help in the administrative/customer service area. For now, we'll be taking our dog elsewhere, not by choice but because we were ignored. Very frustrating. read more

This is seriously my dog's favorite place to go. I used to feel so guilty about boarding him when I went on vacation but now when I see how genuinely excited he is when I drop him off, it makes it a little easier. The owners are great and you can tell they really take caring for the dogs seriously. read more

Great service!! Love the Happy Puppy team and the care the provide. I recommend 100%!!! My dog is always super happy when I pick him up! I love the videos they post on FB of the dogs everyday. I haven't used their boarding services, but can say the facility is really nice, and the dogs spend more time playing than being caged. Add to it the ability to check on them overnight because a private camera feed is set up to ensure everyone's safety, I would definitely utilize them. I love Happy Puppy!! If you're looking for doggie daycare, definitely go check out Happy Puppy!! read more

Happy Puppy is the only place we will ever take our dog. We keep our 8-month old puppy here when we take overnight trips or sometimes for doggie daycare when we both work a lot. Kevin is incredibly caring and nice, and is phenomenal with dogs. We know that as long as our dog is with Kevin he will never be mistreated and will have a great time. We love all of the socialization our dog gets when he is at Happy Puppy - he isn't kept in a cage the entire time that he is there, he's always out playing with other dogs, making friends and having a great time. Colby-Jack, our dog, always gets really excited when he gets in the car and we turn the corner to go to Happy Puppy! Prices are reasonable, it's a great place, and I feel really safe dropping off my dog here. Thank goodness we found such an awesome place right after moving here. read more

I've been bringing my dog to HappyPuppy for 7 years. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in is how quiet it is. No chorus barking when you bring your dog in through the gate. The owner Tommy makes it a top priority to keep all the dogs calm, creating a very unique atmosphere of positive relaxed play throughout the day. My dog is not stressed out by having chaos and barking all around him, and he is looked after all day by people who understand him. Tommy took the time to learn my dog's personality and quirks, and continually looks at the big picture to make sure that my dog is safe and happy. He is almost always there to supervise and is very helpful and communicative about letting me know how my dog did. Another nice feature is that dogs can run freely between indoor/outdoor area throughout the day. They also have futons which is great because dogs can take their own timeout and relax if they don't want to play. Tommy posts daily videos on facebook so you can see what it's like. Previous daycare places I've tried have all been lots of barking, tension at the gate, and large numbers of part-time staff who don't really know each dog. Within a few months some problem arose at each place -- either catching an illness or getting bitten at the gate during a tense situation -- and I left. At HappyPuppy, despite 7 years of regular --sometimes constant-- daycare and boarding, nothing bad has ever happened to my dog, since they never let tensions build up in their facility. This is the only place where I've felt 100% comfortable that my dog will not be stressed out, and will be looked after by someone who understands him as well as I do. Tommy has a heart of gold, and his staff seem equally well-trained to maintain a tranquil environment despite having many dogs. I don't know what I'd do without this place. read more

Kevin pays personal attention to the dogs when we are away on vacation or at work. Place is clean and all the dogs seem happy. You can trust your pet there and has easy pick up and drop off hours including over night stays if needed. He also makes sure all the dogs get along and if not, has seperate rooms/storage for them. Have used him several times for vacation stays and just perfect!!! He also makes sure the dogs are up to date on shots and such. Keep up the good work read more

This place is great!! My puppy went here for the first time recently for doggy daycare and then ended up being boarded here for a few days. Tom is very nice and really truly cares about the dogs there. He also will provide updates via text request. It is nice to know my baby is in good hands! They post videos on their Facebook page every weekday, which is great when you're a nervous "dog mom" like me. My pup has so much fun and he comes home so exhausted from all the play time he has. We will definitely be bringing him back soon for daycare and future boarding!! read more

Happy Puppy was a great find for my dog Louie. I use Happy Puppy for boarding and day care and I couldn't say enough good things about both services. Kevin is fantastic with the dogs and his flexibility in scheduling is a huge help. My dog Louie always goes in tail wagging and he is exhausted from playing with his doggy friends when I pick him up. I strongly recommend Happy Puppy. It's great to know that I can be at work and my dog is having fun playing. Kevin is great to work with and so friendly! We love Happy a Puppy! read more

I am so blessed to have found happy puppy. My beagle gets so much love and always comes home happy. I travel so much for work and this has become her second home and they treat her like one of the family. I always text to get updates and get response back right away. I would recommend happy puppy to anyone and am so thankful to have them loving my sweet baby when I can't be there. Thanks! read more

We just picked up our dog Buddy that was boarded for a few days at Happy Puppy. Wow. What a major difference picking him up from their then when we board him at the vet. He had a great time.The daily videos were the best. Thanks Tom. read more

We love Happy Puppy. We have a jack Russell Terrier who needs lots of attention, and play time. She definitely has her favorite friends there - including Kevin and Tommy. I recommend Happy Puppy to ANYONE that is looking for day care or boarding! read more

I can't say enough about Happy Puppy I feel like my dog has become a better behaved pup since we started going 2 years ago and that's with no training. I tried other facilities before and never felt completely comfortable like I do with Kevin the owner and his associate Tina. I give Happy Puppy two thumbs up and will never go anywhere else. read more

Tommy over at Happy Puppy is wonderful! We lost our long time cage free border (miss you Kristi B!!) to a long distance move and it's been tough finding a new place for my big ball of high energy boy and my "bubble boy" mixed breed. Tommy took the time to understand our needs and each dog's personal preferences and you can tell he actually cares, you're not just number 25 that walked through the door today . I also really like that someone is there on the premises at all times. The boys got a lot of exercise and came home tired and happy! read more

I can't say enough about how great this place has been for our dogs. We love the peaceful atmosphere which, I think, is a miracle in itself - keeping a pack of dogs quiet and playful at the same time. It's obvious the owner has a passion for his business and loves dogs. We use them for day care and weekend kenneling and feel comfort in knowing our dogs are in excellent hands. Love the daily videos posted on Facebook. Just an extra way to see how well the dogs are handled and loved. Highly recommend! read more

I've been using Happy Puppy for both day care and boarding and I'm very happy with my experience. I have a labradoodle puppy with a lot of energy and is a bit timid with new people. She plays all day with all the other dogs which is a great release for her unending energy. She loves it! read more

Tom and the guys at Happy Puppy always take such good are of our English Bulldog. They are knowledgeable and understand the needsm of our dog. He comes home tired and happy after a day of playing. When we go out of town, I'm comfortable knowing our dog is in good hands in a cage-free environment. We couldn't be happier with Happy Puppy and highly recommend it to our friends and family. With a quick text we can contact he owner to book long stays. Our dog is such an important part of our family and I can trust that they take good care of him when we are away read more

We've been taking our Frenchie and Shiba there for years and absolutely LOVE Kevin and Tom! Our pups are happy, healthy and tired when we pick them up; the place is clean, well taken care of, we couldn't be happier, thanks guys! read more

My pup is very happy here! He does his happy dance every time he is told he is going. Consistant approach with Kevin as the primary care giver, it is what works for me and my pup. Also, Kevin is very flexible and works with you and your pup. Michelle read more

I own a 5 year old rat terrier that I've had since she was 7 weeks old. I've noticed her over the years becoming more nervous around other dogs and I was terrified to have her around big dogs for fear that she would have fear aggression with them. I knew that i needed to find a place that would be willing to be patient with her and take it slowly. I really love they do the assessment for the dog and even though Pinkerton was very anxious (and had an accident inside) Tommy was encouraging and excited to have her there. The ability for the dogs to go in and out when they need to is great and also the nap time so they can be quiet and rest. I have seen Tommy in a pack of 20 dogs and keeps them calm and happy. From the first day when I dropped her off and her tail was tucked and we had to carry her in and she hid in the corner to the transformation of the second day when she was amongst the pack, it's been amazing. She's not quite yet become a dog that plays and romps with the other dogs but I can tell that she's more confident and I think she loves being an observer. She goes twice a week and is exhausted the night of and day after, we just love it and are so glad we found Happy Puppy!!! read more

Happy puppy is such a great place! Our little guy has been going there for 3 years now and absolutely loves it! He gets so much play time and so much socialization! Great that they don't speedster dogs on size so everyone can get accustomed to each other. The place is always clean and the pups always are happy and playing. My dog knows he is going from two turns away and starts jumping in excitement. Tom is amazing and is very kind, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. He honestly takes care of the dogs like his own kids! The other staff are always very nice as well and I know because my dog always says hi to them when he walks in. The daily videos are so fun to watch! Def would recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe fun daycare for their little baby (dog) read more

I can't figure out why everyone loves this place. We had a meh experience and tried bringing our dog there again, but they never returned my calls. When my husband dropped dog the first time, one of the guys there let him know that sometimes they won't return calls during the middle of the day because they leave and run errands. So what's going on with the dogs then? But really the telltale sign that this was just meh was that our dog was not exhausted when she came home. Literally every other doggie daycare place we have brought her has worn her out by the end of the day. She has been to doggie daycare approx 100+ days over the past 3 years. read more

My dog Diesel loves going to Happy Puppy! He can barely contain himself in the parking lot/door and always comes home tired from a full day of playing. Tommy really pays attention to each dog and really takes the time to get to know each of their personalities. Before I brought Diesel in I mentioned that he does tend to hump almost every dog he meets. Tommy said he would be able to work with Diesel and stop that behavior. I was skeptical but needless to say within a week of going to Happy Puppy that behavior was gone. I couldn't believe it. I would def. recommend this place to anyone. read more

We had used happy puppy for our occasional doggie day care. Those few times were quite good. However when we dropped our dog for an extended time during our vacation, we found our experience pretty bad. Our dog lost a lot of weight and all the effort we had spent for potty training went to the dogs literally. We will never go back for sure. read more

Horrible experience. My sister just went on a week-long vacation, and I was the emergency contact for her sweet, nonaggressive (but VERY hyper) Jack Russell. My sister told me she chose this facility because it was "cage free" and there is someone there 24/7. Since I work full-time, I was unable to commit to his needs, but told her to call me with any issues. Not even 24 hours later, I received a call that the dog needed to be picked up, and I was given a 1.5 hour time frame. I was told the dog was "howling, barking and running around." I asked if he was being aggressive or had bitten another dog or handler. I was told "no, he's barking nonstop, and needs to be trained." I live 45 minutes from the facility and was heading to an appointment. I felt like Kevin (the owner) was inconsiderate and didn't give this dog a chance to adjust. I immediately got a bad vibe. We finally agreed to meet at 3pm, as he said he was "very busy all afternoon" and wouldn't be back til then. I arrived at the facility at 2:45pm, the front door was locked, no one to be found. I immediately called to let him know I was there, only to get a voice mail. I knocked then waited 25 minutes, and finally Kevin opened the door. He said he was sleeping. He led me into the COMPLETELY DARK area where there were some futons set up, not ONE other dog to be seen. He kept apologizing, but said the dog was too hyper & he couldn't deal with it all week. Again, I asked him "did you happen to throw a ball around to tire him out?" His response: "yeah, I play with them, but they're here to mostly interact with the other dogs." RED FLAG. I do not own a dog. But any DOG LOVER will tell you that they are social, FAMILY creatures. That was comparable to a day care telling me that "they don't need adult supervision/interaction, they occupy themselves." Kevin retuned the check my sister wrote (gee, thanks) and sent us on our way. This dog has been home with us for an hour and is content, laying on my couch with my 3 year old. THE DOG HAD NO INTERACTION. Why was he sleeping at 3 o'clock in the afternoon? Shouldn't unfamiliar dogs be supervised? And why were the dogs kept in a dark garage? Kevin, for someone who is making a business out of pet-sitting, I wouldn't trust my goldfish in your care. You fooled us. Good luck to you, but unfortunately your unique idea had very poor execution. Anyone looking into this facility: RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!! read more
