If you're new to the area and looking for a safe, loving place to board your dog or drop them off…read morefor daycare--or if you've lived here for a while and are just searching for a spot you can truly trust--Just Like Home for Paws is it. I've been bringing my dog here for over three years, and they feel like family. From day one, I've had complete trust in them when it comes to my dog's health, safety, and happiness. The team is warm, attentive, and clearly loves every single pup that walks through the door. One of my favorite parts? Every single time we're in the car heading there, my dog knows exactly where we're going and starts getting so excited. Tail wagging, nose to the window--it's clear how much he loves it there. I can't say enough good things about this place. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is being cared for like one of their own. If you're considering doggy daycare or boarding, I highly recommend Just Like Home for Paws. They're everything you could want in a second home for your dog.

I am so grateful we found Just Like Home 4 Paws! After a bad experience with a previous facility, I…read morewas on the hunt for a place my dog would feel safe and happy. The facility is welcoming, cozy and clean. I love that it's female owned and family operated! I was very anxious about boarding Sherlock over Christmas because he suffers separation anxiety, but after seeing the daily photos and videos my mind was completely put at ease. Sherlock looked like he was having a great time and it was clear he was being well cared for and getting lots of love & attention! Now I can go on vacation with no worries knowing that Sherlock is in great hands. He now goes to doggie day care weekly. And even though it's only been couple weeks, I can already see an improvement in his separation anxiety. I would highly recommend JLH4P to anyone looking for doggie daycare/boarding!

Also the prices are very competitive and the facility is local to where I live. He has also been happy to do last minute accommodations when i have had to do that. It is not a fancy dog hotel nor are there a bunch of bells and whistles but John is attentive, professional and calm which is a good quality to have when working around dogs. He also offers other services like dog walks during boarding and grooming. When i come to pick up or drop off I see him working the grounds or busy in the kennels. His home is right on the property which is nice. Our latest dog was not well socialized at first and not great with men but has had no issues with him, although jokes about his barking (which is very true). Some things to keep in mind...make sure to offer specific instructions (and write down) if your dog has special needs like feeding times, medication, etc. Also take note of the hours. One day and on weekends he closes earlier than normal. (Sunday's pick up is only an hour long). Finally if your dog goes to the bathroom on the property and you don't have a bag, let John know where it is and he'll gladly pick it up for you. I will happily continue to keep boarding my pets here.

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

REGARDING RESPONSE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW: (attached to this…read moreresponse in photos) the owner's response COMPLETE AND UTTER BS!!!!!!!!! I have NEVER worked at a kennel and would NEVER apply or recommend anyone to apply at this place. I was NOT YELLING or SCREAMING. As I said in my review, it was the owner that was screaming at the dogs in the back. The police were NEVER involved. I walked out on my appointment day without ever speaking to anyone because they did not respond when I rang the bell. And there was no one at the front desk. I am disgusted that this person is trying to cover up a bad review with a lie!!!!! This is just additional evidence that this is an unethical & non trustworthy business. My previous review is 100% accurate and truthful! If I could have given negative stars I would have. In addition.... Why doesn't the owner explain how they LOST A DOG THAT WAS IN THEIR CARE ?????????? AGAIN..... BEWARE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TAKING YOUR PET HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (SEE PIC OF MISSING DOG BELOW) IN ADDITION..... I AM ANTICIPATING THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED UP WITH MORE LIES FROM OWNER. I AM DONE RESPONDING TO HIS NONSENSE.

Back then, the staff were so friendly and supportive of him and helped him get over his fears. The staff today are still incredible and Griswold has the best time when he's there! It's by far his favorite place on the planet! Whether he's going for day care or just to chase balls at the park, he is his happiest self when he's at wags! We are grateful for such a fun, safe, and clean place to bring him all year round. He's able to socialize with other pups and burn some energy, which we appreciate a lot! I cannot recommend Wag n Paddle highly enough!!!

Even though they "claim" to clean up every hour. I also noticed my dog was getting abused here. I have video footage of a woman pulling my dog by his ear. A yelp review doesn't justify my frustration...besides corporate, the customers need to know, what kind of damage they are putting their dog through. My dog has not been the same since he came back home he is very sad and timid..not his usual joyful playful self :( I wish I never put my baby through this

I stumbled across this place while driving down Rt.59. I used to take my little guy to Petsmart in Aurora, but I noticed he didn't seem to like it and would be really anxious when I picked him up.

The staff was warm, professional, and clearly cared about the dogs as if they were their own. What really stood out to me was my dog's reaction. At other facilities he's hesitant, but here he was wagging his tail and ready to play the second we walked in. The next time we went back, he was literally pulling me toward the door, which says it all! The facility is clean, well-organized, and (big plus!) has an outdoor play area. My dog loves being outside, so having that option made a huge difference compared to other places we've tried. It's rare to find a daycare/boarding spot that checks all the boxes: safe, caring, fun, and reliable. Central Bark truly delivered. I'm so glad to be the first to share a review, because they deserve to be recognized. If you're in the Aurora area and looking for a place where your pup will be treated like family, this is it.
