Hobnob - Happy pup ! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

This place is less than honest. I wasn't allowed to turn because I bought to their, in real time what I was witnessing on their webcam. It was unbelievable to watch a handler cause so much anxiety to our lil loved ones. We bring them there because we want the best for them. I'm sorry I can't, I will not subject my lil puppy to this abusive care read more

Three bites and kennel cough! Unacceptable. We have been taking our pup to HobNob for over a year and a half. (To the Arapahoe location). We recently moved to the other side of town and decided to try out the location on Colfax. Unfortunately, we have had an extremely different experience. The second day of day care at Colfax I received a phone call that my dog had a small wound from another dog and they were cleaning it but he probably doesn't need medical attention. My dog is my baby, so of course I ran to pick him up immediately. They showed me one little spot and it didn't look too bad but I advised them I would still be taking my dog to the vet. The vet was very surprised that HobNob said they didn't think he needed medical attention. She stated anytime a dog is bit they need to be seen because pocketing can easily occur. After his examination they found three different wounds. This quickly led me to believe that no one was supervising the dogs. I pay a lot of money to make sure my dog is safe. I understand dogs can be unpredictable but three bits in all different places is unacceptable. Kari the owner called me and spoke to me like I had never owned a dog before. Trying to "teach" me about how dogs play and how it's "normal" for dogs to get bumps here and there. Her dog goes to hobnob and sometimes comes home with a wound.. I guess she's okay with that. I care too much about my dog to accept that behavior. He has been to dog parks and daycares since he was 4 months old (almost 2 now) and has NEVER once had an issue. The staff is inexperienced and lacks empathy. I 100% would NEVER bring my animals here again. Unsafe. Unprofessional. read more

This place is amazing and has many amenities others don't. It is clean, and the staff are courteous, friendly and genuinely care for the hounds and what experience they have during their stay. You can go to work, or travel and not have to stress. A special shout out to "Emerald". My dogs like her more than they like me! read more

Hobnob - Just got home from HobNob. - Pet Boarding Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Hobnob take excellent care of my guy. Turbo just loves coming here for day care and boarding when I travel. Having a pool is wonderful - even if he doesn't like to get in - he still runs around and dips his paws in. They go the extra mile with him especially with his pickiness for eating. I know that he's in good hands when he is here. read more

Hobnob - Turbo and his moose from my recent Canada trip - Pet Boarding Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

HobNob DTC I have a young very active dog who is not aggressive. She has experienced two times where she has been bitten three times. This past time it was necessary for our Vet to flush, debride and suture her bite wound/laceration. Sedation was necessary and she was sent home with antibiotics and pain medications. The manager suggested I send my bill to the email address and that the manager would be sure the owner would review the video and contact the other dog owner to arrange a payment arrangement. The owner Kari did not call me for three days and when she did she said the video showed another dog attempting to "tag" my dog. She spoke down to me trying to educate me about dog playing. I asked her what was being done to protect dogs who are in their care. I was then told that no dog attacked my dog. Supposedly I should not have been told that that the biting dog's owner would be spoken too. I was then told that because my dog likes to do "zoomies" in the yard, she was not a fit for HobNob. I asked if my dog was being kicked out and was told yes. Kari apologized when I said I have an $1100 bill for an injury caused in her business an hour after I checked my dog in. The only reason I can even rate HobNob with a 1 is because of the staff I have gotten to know. However there are many times when viewing the remote camera that it is overbooked in the yards and in door areas where my dog has been placed. There is no guarantee that your dog will be safe there. If your dog is an active young dog I wouldn't recommend HobNob. read more

Another day of picking up three tired and hopefully happy bow wows! We have three big dogs that aren't quite used to our new house yet. Rather than risk destruction of said new house, we've enrolled them in day care. Monday was a trial day and therefore gratis. Tuesday and Friday were days used out of a reasonably priced package deal. Tuesday night they were so tired that we had to check to see if they were still breathing (no I'm not joking about this). Thankfully they'd just had a fun day. Picked them up tonight and they had been playing in the water which I took as a good sign. Hob nob is definitely a good place to take your dogs for an energy release. read more

I recently worked here and it is very brave to send a dog here. They don't train their staff very well, one of our closing managers had to learn how to do half of her job by herself. The owner and GM will talk down to you and as staff, we see some of our coworkers yell at dogs, scruff them, grab their muzzles, or push them. Josiah in particular has been talked to about his behavior with dogs and Jen has been too. Some staff members also are homophobic, rude, and predatory to younger coworkers. Trust me, think twice before coming here. Amanda, Taylor, and Robbie are absolute saints, though. read more

When i called i told the employee exactly what kind of dog i was bringing in. A blue nose pit bull. when i came in with my dog they denied her because she was a pit bull. i was lead to believe they would be taking care of my dogs over the weekend and now i have no where to bring them. Yes my dog is a pitbull. She is four years old and has never had an altercation with another dog or human. she deserves to be treated just like any other dog i think it's unacceptable for company's to have policies against certain breeds. they should have policies against certain owners instead. read more

I recently worked there, and there is a employee Jen, that was physically abusing the animals holding their mouths shut, telling the dogs to shut the F up the work environment was hostile. The manager Jessica was very rude about the whole situation. I tried to talk to Jessica and ask her what was going on. She immediately shut me up and was very disrespectful before bringing your dog here I really recommend looking to take your business elsewhere read more

Thought I would take a moment to update my review ... I've been bringing my dog for daycare about once a week over the past few months and have to say it has been working out really well for us. I think it took her a little while to integrate -- getting used to the routine, maybe making friends with some of the regulars -- but now I do feel like she is getting the most out of her days in their care. She is of course excited to see me when I pick her up, but as soon as she gets into the car she settles down and goes to sleep. I continue to appreciate that she seems to be well cared for while she is at day care, and that they seem to enforce good doggy manners -- I have noticed that my normally over-social, exuberant dog doesn't even try to jump up on anyone when I drop her off, and she is mostly good on leash when they are taking her back into the daycare area. I also appreciate their 7 am to 7 pm drop-off and pick-up hours -- it is a great resource for me when I know I am going to have a long day at the office. read more

Went to visit a friend today in the neighborhood and upon leaving, I heard the staff yelling at the animals, (not the first time) according to people who live around this business. I was thinking if only the owners of these animals knew what was happening at this place they would not bring them there.. I'm sure these animals are being abused in other ways also and not cared for. Im wondering if I should contact the media about this. The staff were not engaging in a positive way with these dogs and seemed irritated and so if your animal gets hurt while at this place I suggest hiring a lawyer. read more

Jessica, the general manager needs some lessons in customer service. She is rude and combative! We had simple questions about our bill and she was extremely defensive. She wouldn't even give us the owners name when we asked to speak to the owner. We found the owners name on the website. It's not a secret. read more

Our boys LOVE going to Hob Nob. We have two dogs and sometimes they just go for the day when we're both going to be at work, and sometimes they go for boarding when we go out of town. Regardless, it's always a great experience for them. The staff is attentive and friendly...we get a report card at the end of the day, and the boys are literally exhausted when they get home. Plus, we can check in on them at any point via one of many webcams. Highly recommend checking out Hob Nob. read more

WARNING!!! JJ, my black lab mix, is a hurricane Harvey rescue that I adopted 3 years ago. He spent 33 days/nights at the Colorado Dog Academy in Broomfield for extensive training. JJ is also Dock Jumping Champion in Colorado! He's been to about 6 different doggy day cares in CO and probably 15 different hosts on Rover (I travel a bit for work). Let me tell you...I have never, ever...not once....ever received the slightest bit of negative feedback from anyone who's hosted JJ. In fact it's always the exact opposite! He's such a lover and very gentle with smaller dogs. Hobnob has a completely different view of JJ than everyone else. I took JJ there for a trial day yesterday. All of sudden, my JJ turned into a "people possessive dog" that "attacks other dogs even when unprovoked" and they had to "put him in a room by himself so no one gets hurt". WOW. My jaw literally fell to the floor. I picked up JJ at HobNob around 5 pm and took him straight to the park. I was very surprised to see that he was immediately taking a huge crap...11 hour after his last meal!!!! This NEVER happens when I pick my dog up from Doggy Day care. He doesn't need to crap until the next morning on such days. People Possessive? Sounds like my dog needed a place to take a shit!! I asked the gal who told me all this BS to show me the videos of JJ being aggressive, and she said she would ask the owner. We'll see!!! read more

We have used doggie day care over the years and always appreciated quality service and care. When we recently moved to Lakewood we had to find a new day care and found Hob Nob. We have been very disappointed for the following reasons: - Poor customer service at the counter - Lack of personal connection with the dogs and showing that they even care for the animals they care for. If they don't show it on front of the owners, how do they treat them during the day? We went back to camp bow wow where they appreciate the business and our pet. It's nice to go to a place where everyone knows him and is excited to see him. read more

I absolutely LOVE Hobnob! I take my older girl dog and younger boy dog there weekly and they absolutely love the place! The staff always remembers their names and my dogs are always so excited to go to the back! I love that they can wash your dog before pick up and they can go swimming! They cater to my dogs' needs when I need to board them. I love that I can get dog food and bones there too! They love the center cut femurs :) read more

Everytime I have taken my one year old Goldendoodle to stay for the day or even a couple it seems questionable. The employees are never interested in you or the dogs whenever I spoke with them. It's usually one word answers and they don't seem to know how your dog was while being there, which most places give a report card. This place also seems to not have a capacity, so it becomes very full in there play areas. There play areas are very very small, smaller than most backyards and they have upwards of 50-100 dogs some days in these areas. I most recently had my pup stay for the day from 9am-4pm on Thursday December 20th. When I dropped him off the man at the front desk was not interested at all, basically got a head nods only when asking questions. When watching for my dog on the live camera throughout the day, the place was PACKED full of dogs. Definitely should have limitations on how many dogs can be there. There was hardly enough room for them to really play at all. The employees just stand at the fence and talking until the dogs get too "wild" and then the employees discipline them which is seen on camera and looks questionable. My dog was FILTHY upon pick up, and even seemed to have poop/pee on him. I understand and expect my dog to get dirty from a day of playing with other dogs, but this was on another level. Again, I believe this is due to the amount of dogs allowed to stay. My puppy also was very skiddish when we picked him up, which is very unusual for a Goldendoodle especially mine. I later called about how his day was and the woman who answered had no idea about him or how his day might of went. She said she would ask the employees who were outside about it, and call me back but I never heard anything. I would highly recommend looking for other responsible doggy daycare companies, as I will now. Never have been very happy with them, and after this last stay it sealed the deal for me to not come back. My puppy is very important to me, and I expect him to have a fun day and be cared for when I take him to a daycare, this place does not meet those very easy standards. read more

I moved to Denver about 6mo ago and had been taking my 4yr old 60lb rescue (boxer/lab) to another facility near Cap Hill. The other place was inconvenient and overcharged for their services. Recently found Hobnob through recommendations on Nextdoor. I am having medical issues and have had to board my dog for longer periods of time. Hobnob's prices are reasonable, my dog is exhausted when I pick her up, and employees have gone the extra mile to assist me when needed. So glad to have found this place! read more

I found that Hobnob is a facility that doesn't live up to their mission statement. They are the definition of poor care/segregation and a step down in pet care/kenneling/boarding... 1)Your "below standards" you don't have high quality insurance. That will allow all dog breads at your facility. You should be stoping BSL (Breed-specific legislation) not supporting it... 2)You did not customize my pets stay... You automatically refused her After looking at her. You continued to refuse her even after knowing her true breed and demeanor. She is not a pit bull she is a American bully/staffordshire bull terrier mix.She attends other doggie daycare's weekly, passed advance dog class, knows over 25 commands, goes to the dog park Daily, is Beautiful, has a wonderful demeanor and is not a stereotype. 3)FYI your located in Lakewood which is "pitbull friendly" city. ******Please get high quality insurance, stop segregating/refusing/stereotyping dogs, stop supporting BSL and lying on your mission statement. ****** Please Hobnob take this down: "We customize your pet's stay with premium products and features not available with standard kenneling, boarding or dog daycare." "We take pride in supplying care that is a cut-above anything that has been offered before." It does not accurately describe your facility!!!!! read more

My dog is pretty much my child and a very important member of our family. I want to make sure that she gets to have fun when mom and dad are at work for a long day, and above all else, make sure she's safe and taken care of. I would say you should beware, and proceed with caution at Hobnob. I'll break it down. We were fairly new to the establishment, given that our previous and favorite daycare closed down. We only had taken our pup there 2 times, and the 2nd time is when I didn't feel so comfortable anymore. I logged into the online cams at the daycare just to see what my sweet, playful pup was up to and to make sure she was having fun. It was because of those cameras that I was able to get a glimpse of what really goes down in there. From what I saw, play isn't really encouraged. One of the handlers in particular showed some pretty serious aggression towards her. Handled her roughly when she was just being her playful and loving self. She went as far as to use the leash (they all have them it seems) and leashed our pup so tightly from behind that her front legs were off the ground. She also seemed to be making her sit out of the blue when she was just poking around, being curious. Again, seemed to be handling her more aggressively than necessary. These are only a couple of the things I saw. Additionally, I saw no affection given to the pups whatsoever. If there is any, it must be rare. My husband was tuning in from work and also felt uncomfortable with it all. He was watching at different times than I was, but he ended up calling and reporting it. The employee was taken out of her shift for the day. Needless to say, I was relieved to hear that, but you can't imagine what was going through my head about her safety while she was there for the remainder of the day! What if she was choked? What if they're more aggressive in the areas where the cameras don't have as good a view? The way I saw my sweet girl being handled, it definitely felt like the worst was possible. The amount of worry that came over me is not acceptable. In the end, the manager told me he reviewed the tape extensively and said he found no reason to let this employee go. He admitted it was certainly out of line and "not within our practices" (or something along those lines). Well, that folks, is why I refuse to ever take my dog to Hobnob again. My mind is boggled about why you'd keep such an employee who made me think my dog could be CHOKED while under their care. The worry alone is enough to make me believe it's not worth doing your business here. Trust lost. read more

3 times now my dogs have come home with giardia. Each incident costing a few hundred dollars in medicine lab fees. We are do e with Hobnob. Also they raised their prices without notice even when their own literature still showed the lower prices. read more

I loved bringing my dogs to Hob Nob! They were completely pooped out at the end of a long day of playing and I was happy that they were so satisfied. I love the first daycare visit/assessment. First off, it's a free day of daycare. Amazing! Second, they give you a little report card and grade how your dog played and write down who they played with- so cute! I learned that my little Boston Terrier pup rolled around with an Akita and other big dogs all day. Go figure! My Patrick even got a free squeaky toy (and all A's!!). This may be a small detail, but it kept us coming back... And they have live cameras that you can scope out while at work, etc. The owners and staff here are so nice and really care about dogs! The owners have 2 sweet frenchies that like to hang out up at the front desk area. When I learned from a lady at the Iron Spring Dog Park that my Bridget loved swimming, it kind of freaked me out... Until she told me she works at Hob Nob! These people have their own dogs and clearly care about them and the dogs of their patrons. The owners and staff here are so nice! read more

Our dog goes here twice a week. The people who work there have always been very friendly. They knew our dog's name after one visit so it makes it very easy to simply run in and drop him off/pick him up. They will feed him if he doesn't eat that morning and let me pay for the can in the afternoon. They have also given me pet advice on diet and other things. We also get our dog groomed there, which makes it very convienent. The location is excellent to where I work and very easy because there is rarely traffic on colfax. Our dog has never used the pool but I think it's great that they have it. If nothing else, our dog LOVES it! read more

Awesome!! Doggie daycare here is great, dogs love it there everyone there is friendly and genuinely loves their jobs, We just started with the pool therapy for our aussie sheperd who had knee surgery, and wow Brenna was fantastic with him and took her time and really worked with him, making sure he didn't over do it. WONDERFUL place and great staff. read more

Hobnob - Pet Boarding Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

My dog absolutely loves this place. After spending a day or two at Hobnob, he's asleep on the couch for at least 24 hours after his return - it completely wears him out. He plays hard and has a great time. If you're looking for a place to board your dog, I would recommend Hobnob because they've got a very nice facility, a friendly staff, and because they do a lot of cool extra little things such as: 1. They have a webcam where you can catch a glimpse of your pet. 2. They have a swimming pool where your pet can go for a swim 3. They've got different rooms for different dogs, indoor and outdoor play areas, and private rooms for sleeping. 4. They give you a funny little report card on your dog's stay. It's fun and makes the whole thing seem more formal somehow...definitely a value-add. We've sent our dog to Hobnob for at least a dozen different nights, and every time we've been completely satisfied. If I had to say something bad about Hobnob, it would be that their pricing is a little higher than I would like (maybe $5-10 more than I would like to spend on an overnight stay). Still, this is a very minor complaint...the extra $5 or $10 is worth it. read more

OK, Hobnob - all is forgiven! After the incident where I almost paid way too much money for 26 hours of boarding, I received an apologetic call from management. I'm glad that they went to all the trouble to apologize because after doing a lot of research, I didn't find many other places with cheaper pricing. Plus, Marley *really* loves coming here - and really, what's more important than that? read more

Awesome staff, clean facility, great care. Camp Bow Wow was our old favorite place to board or leave the dogs for daycare, but we moved. Hobnob provides the same excellent care, and it's clear that the staff really get to know the dogs. Live webcams give me an easy way to check on my dogs if I wonder how they're doing, and a report card after each stay shows me how each dog behaved, which other dogs they played with, etc. They come home happy, tired, and clean. I like that there's no pea gravel so the dogs aren't chalky at the end of a long day draining their puppy batteries, and there's even a swimming pool the staff will let your dog swim in under supervision (for a surcharge). Protip: Make sure to make your holiday reservations early! read more

I've been using doggy daycares for my golden retriever since he was a puppy. I came to Denver 3 years ago and found Hob Nob. I bring my dog almost 4 times a week and he loves it there. I feel the upmost confidence in the care provided by Hob Nob. The staff is awesome and my dog loves the staff. They also carry the best dog food available on site. The wash service is fantastic! I can't say enough great things about Hob Nob, they are truly a life saver with my hectic work schedule and trying to keep my dog happy. read more

Do NOT take your dog to Hobnob on Colfax to be groomed. I never spoke or saw a groomer. She was completely shaved down. I told the person at the front desk that I wanted her evened out a little. The last time I had her groomed at another place she was trimmed very short (but not shaved down) and some of her hair did not grow back because of a health issue. She was NOT evened out but completely shaved down very close to her skin. I did NOT want her shaved down completely. I did NOT speak or see the groomer. I feel her coat is ruined (she is a Australian Shepherd) by the groomer at Hobnob. When the manager called me the next day, he just kept defending his groomer without even an apology. I have been taking my dog to Hobnob for over 8 years. I will NOT take her back. read more

I admit it's strange to think that a dog can tell you how they feel, however I know I'm right when I say that my Lily LOVES Hobnob, and I love taking her there. I think its awesome that I can watch her on the webcams interacting with the staff and her playmates. I love that they greeted us by name when we came back for the second time. We have used both their daycare and boarding services and are equally pleased with both. I've taken Lily to one other boarding place (NOT IN COLORADO) and when I went to pick her up, it seemed as though she couldn't get out of there fast enough, and they sprayed her with perfume to cover the "animal shelter smell"...gross. When I arrived to pick Lily up from Hobnob, she was happy to see me, but wasn't frantically trying to get out the door. The only thing I have against the place is the proximity to where I live (cherry creek), and even that with their daily 7A-7P hours is totally managable. Take your dog there, as described in the other reviews, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was here for a charity event for the German Shepherd Rescue of the Rockies. The employees were very nice and I love that they allowed the rescue to come in to use their facilities for their annual dog wash. It's great to see a business give back to the community. read more

I love Hobnob. I have taken my Australian Cattle Dog Mix for boarding about three different times now ranging from 2 - 5 nights. It is really nice to leave him knowing that he is going to be well taken care of. All the staff is kind and last time I came to drop off our boy, a staff member came from the back and greeted him by name. Each time we pick him up after a stay at the Hobnob he looks just as happy and healthy as he was when we dropped him off, which then I know that he had a great time! I also love that they have webcams that I can access from their website. The only problem is that I will spend too much time watching them, it is so neat to be able to see the dogs playing and lounging through out the day. Its clean and safe, located in an accessible area (right off Colfax), is easy (just bring his food, snacks and bedding), and most of all our boy is in good hands. read more

Terrible experience. Took our puppy to get groomed. We asked for a light trim. They said they would give him the "fall cut." They butchered him! Shaved him down completely! He doesn't even look like our dog! The haircut is patchy and uneven. They didn't listen to our request at all. We are so disappointed. My wife cried. When we told them we were unhappy, they simply said "we will put it in the notes for next time." Wow! There won't be a next time... do not take your dog to get groomed hear. They don't listen. They don't care. read more

This place was great! I called with super short notice asking if I could bring my dogs. They were welcoming and had no problem with a last minute reservation. I ended up taking my dogs Abbey & Sancho there for two days in a row. I was nervous because they haven't ever been to a daycare. The cameras were a huge help in showing me that they were in good hands. When I brought them home each day they were happy and exhausted from playing! I will definitely be recommending to other friends. And I will be bringing my babes back read more

Hobnob - Exhausted after a day at Hobnob - Pet Boarding Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

I really like Hobnob. We have two Danes we take here, both of whom are timid, especially the older one. We were hoping that taking him to daycare would allow him to socialize with people and animals. We're happy to report that within just a few weeks time his timidity has changed measurably. We watch him on the webcam (nice perk!) and see that he is playing with the other dogs and interacting nicely with the staff members. Our other Dane, only 5 months old, is going through the same socialization process and is all the better for it. The facility is clean and well-kept. We checked out another doggie daycare in the area and it was not very clean and depressed-looking. Not Hobnob. It's bright, fun and the dogs seem to really love it there. The staff is also tops! (Especially Shekinah!) All of them remember our Danes and have since the first day we took them there. Couldn't be happier. read more

My dog Zoe loves it here! They take great care of Zoe and she always comes home tired and happy. The staff is very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend Hobnob if you're looking for a great place to care for your fur baby! read more

Love Arapahoe hobnob and so does my dog. They are always friendly and know my dog by name

I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. I switch between this location and the DTC location and love both. This one is a little less expensive which is nice and the staff is equally amazing. My dogs are super picky about people and places and they get so excited every time we come here. The staff always knows me and my dogs, and is so loving and gentle with them. I don't trust anyone else with my dogs, especially boarding! read more
