My dog has been going to Arctic Tails since she was a puppy. She loves it soooo much. The staff…read morelove her too! They regularly share updates on her day, report cards, photos and videos about her day. They practice some basic training skills and have lots of play time. They also offer advantix, teeth cleaning, nail trimming, etc. So it's great that she can have that all done while she's at school. The same staff have been there for a while so it's nice to see the employees are treated well and make a decent wage.

Southpaw Boarding Kennels went above and beyond our needs for the dogs. The care they provided on…read moretheir extended stay was so amazing and we were incredibly grateful for the distance this owner went to with help in the unfortunate circumstances that arose for our human family while the kids were boarded. The owner was quickly responsive to our messages and updated us with pictures of the kids while we were away. she is not only just the business owner but she genuinely cares about the pets she boards.

this wasn't the first time she saw this but that it was the worst…read more The owner said she hasn't been eating for days but didn't let me know that till she was in the emergency. I found that they didn't communicate with me appropriately or as often as I would have liked. They didn't allow dogs to play or interact with each other especially if they were large dogs, so they were crated the whole time. They allowed my dog to sit in her urine, so when I visited she smelled of urine. In the end, she starved to death. She also took no accountability, the first thing she said was "I hope you're not mad at me, this wasn't my fault" but she was under their care. Animal control was called on her, and because they had 1 video of them feeding her, and because of Zoe's history with anxiety they aren't going to charge her. So, if you have a pet with issues, find another location.

I came in from out of town to explore some National Parks and was nervous about boarding my doodle…read moreJourney as we were going to Katmai to see the bears. I researched all of the dog boarding facilities in the area and found Doggie Dog World had the best reviews, I now understand why. They really do care for your dog as if they were their own. Initially, I couldn't get ahold of anyone for my inquiry which made me uneasy but after connecting with the owner Julie all those fears went away. You can tell she loves all the pups and is willing to go out of her way to care for them. I thought after a few nights of boarding my shy little lady Journey wouldn't want to go back for daycare but she was so excited to go and play. This speaks volumes as she must have received love and care for her to be willing to be excited to leave us again! Thank you to all the staff who played with my pup even when she was nervous to be there! I appreciate you and the experience you provided for my fur-baby!!

I moved to Anchorage a couple months ago, and I was very worried about starting my 9-month old…read moreFrench Bulldog, Romer, in any type of Day Camp. He had never gone before, and I wondered how he would be socializing with other dogs and being away from me. I have had the absolute best experience with Happy Dog Day Camp! My pup is waiting at the door at 6am to go play with his friends! He is tired when he gets home, and I feel very safe leaving him there overnight. (Sometimes, I think that he'd rather be there then at home. lol) The prices are the best in town, and you can drop-off / pick-up any time. You don't have to have a set schedule, which makes a world of difference as far as my own schedule. The owner, John, is always welcoming, excited, and knowledgeable! The girls who work there are also so kind and ready to greet Romer, even at 6:30am in the morning. I highly recommend this place and tell everyone I know about how great it is. If you have a pup/dog and want him to have a fun day, this is the place for you!

My puppy died at this facility! Terrible and heart breaking…read more The second day my puppy was at this facility (Happy Dog Day Camp) on Tudor, she was brought to the local emergency vet dead. Equally appalling and unacceptable is that it took the owner approximately two days to get back to me in regards to what happened. It took 15 days to finally find out what happened to my dog and APD had to get involved. My 5 month old puppy was attacked by another dog, and according to the autopsy, died a traumatic death. There are no cameras at this facility that could have put an end to this tragedy. There are no words that can describe the pain my family and I have gone through. If you love your pets, do not board them here.

This is the best pet boarding facility in Alaska. Our twins have stayed here multiple times and…read moreit's well worth the drive from Anchorage. We have total peace of mind while our boys are here. We love that the staff sends us photo updates and that they get to spend a lot of time outside playing. On their most recent stay, we also booked some newly offered spa services. The boys got baths and nail trims. They smell so fresh and have the cutest little bandanas on, and remarkably, their nail trims were successful. I don't know how the staff did it, but Amos has never successfully had his nails trimmed anywhere else. He is a shy dog and he gets grumpy about his nails, so I think it speaks volumes to the level of trust the staff built with him in just a week. Pretty amazing! If you need to board a pet, Lakeside Pet Retreat is a must.

This place is a Godsend. I needed the cat out of the house for just one full business day and even…read morethough they are more of a long term place the owner Elaine was more than happy to help me out in my time of need. When I first walked in with my very unfriendly 'only-child' I was extremely nervous. He hasn't been left without me for longer than 4 hrs at a time his whole life. When I first walked in there were friendly cats everywhere, the ones who 'are' sociable, they all looked relaxed and at home. It was like walking into a friends house and greeting their cats. For the more unsocial cats like mine they get their own spacious personal 'suite' very large, with a cat bed, full size litter pan, food and water. In the 'social' area their were toys, cat trees, they even had a TV at ground level playing cat minded programming! I also noticed how calm and quiet it was inside, no loud yapping dogs or blaring music, it was amazing. By the time I left I was of course worried but was feeling much better about leaving him there. I wanted to come get him before he had to stay overnight. It was actually one of the off days where they have shorter hours, Elaine came in on her day off at 7PM just for me, amazing. I should also mention price, I was surprised how low it was, no higher rates for shorter terms and awesome deals for longer term stays. I could tell this was a place that truly cares about cats. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves their cat and wants them to be as comfortable as possible when they're traveling and staying home isn't an option.
