Nova isn't a huge player, but she loves to observe and get attention from the humans. I love watching her on the webcam hang out with dogs that are her same temperament. She was having really bad separation anxiety when I went to work ever since her older sister passed. Taking her to Smarte Parke while I am at work has helped so much with both of our peace of mind. We drive up and she is so excited to go see all her doggo friends (and human ones too!) Thank you for being so caring to all the dogs! Also side note thank you for keeping the day care area so clean and being so attentive! You guys are great!

I've been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding, and overall I've had a really positive…read moreexperience. To be transparent, my very first visit had a few hiccups. I was thankful that they accepted my county vaccination paperwork and that I was able to board my dog privately until she was spayed (which I did complete). There were some initial issues related to camera access and paperwork that were a bit frustrating at the time. The camera issue itself ultimately appeared to be more of a technical problem, but the initial communication at the front desk left me feeling like my concerns weren't fully heard. Looking back, it seems like something that could have been easily clarified with better communication. That said, coming from a customer service background, I believe it's important to give businesses the opportunity to address concerns before forming a final opinion. What really stood out to me was how the management team handled everything. They reached out, listened, and took my concerns seriously. They made the effort to explain, correct, and improve the experience, and followed up in a way that felt genuine and accountable. The issue was addressed quickly, and I truly believe they used the feedback as an opportunity to improve, which I really respect. Since then, I've continued bringing my dog here regularly - including overnight stays - and the difference has been clear. The staff is attentive, kind, and very in tune with the dogs. They recognize her, look forward to seeing her, and consistently keep me informed about how she's doing, including any concerns. She is treated with patience and care. They've also gone above and beyond in ways that meant a lot to me. They honored a daycare promotion I had missed when I first enrolled, and during a recent visit when my dog had been sprayed by a skunk, the team was incredibly attentive and helped clean her thoroughly and thoughtfully. That level of care made a stressful situation so much easier. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, and the team members who work directly with the dogs genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I have no doubt that they have the dogs' best interests in mind, even knowing how challenging it can be to manage so many different personalities. No place is perfect, and dogs can be unpredictable, but what matters most to me is how a business responds when something doesn't go as planned. In this case, they made it right, and that's why they've become my go-to for daycare and boarding. I'm very thankful to have found them, and my dog clearly feels comfortable there, which says everything.

The moment I walked in, I immediately had a really good feeling about this place!…read more You can truly tell how much care and thought has gone into everything -- from the clean and spacious environment to all the little details. There's plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play comfortably. What made me feel the most reassured is that they don't just "keep" the dogs there -- they actually spend time playing with them, observing their behavior, and caring about their emotions. If your dog wants to socialize and play with other dogs, they do require proof of vaccinations including Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP. They also do a simple temperament test (around 20 minutes), which honestly made me feel they're super responsible and genuinely care about the safety and well-being of every dog. As pet owners, the hardest part about traveling isn't the distance -- it's worrying whether our fur babies are truly being cared for. At Dogden, you really get a sense of peace of mind. They understand dogs so well. It's not just boarding -- they treat every dog like a little kid and care for them with so much love and attention. When the dogs are happy, the owners can finally relax too Now I can travel without constantly worrying about my little baby at home

I appreciated that they take time to understand each dog's personality -- mine is pretty social, so group play worked well, but it's nice they also offer more private options. The turf and overall setup feel very clean, and there's no overwhelming smell, which I've experienced elsewhere. Staff were friendly and attentive, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog there. Overall, a reliable option for daycare or boarding.

When I didn't feel like eating as a diva does, the humans knelt with me and made sure I felt comfortable enough to nibble. That made me feel safe and special. My humans also got daily videos, which I heard made them feel a lot better because they could see I was happy and being looked after. It really helped them relax while I was away.

Unlike other places that require appointments just to tour, they welcomed me immediately when I stopped by. It's clear they have nothing to hide--they take real pride in their space and standards. They're also very thorough about which dogs they accept, ensuring all pets are up to date on vaccinations, have had recent exams, and pass a behavior assessment before joining the group. That level of care really benefits all the dogs. If you board your pet here, you'll receive daily video updates, which is such a thoughtful touch. The facility itself is spotless, and the overall experience sets a benchmark that other boarding services should be measured against.

I've been very happy with Camp Bow Wow so far!! I have left my pup a number of times so far,…read moreincluding about four full day boarding sessions, an over nighter and a two night stay so far. It is easy to book your stays through the app and everything has ran smoothly for my experience so far. They require all records prior to your first stay to make sure the dogs are up to date on vaccinations, etc. There are also a number of enrichments offered at an extra cost to entertain your pup, and on certain days of the week they have specialty enrichments. On my pup's last stay we ordered a pup cup and I did not expect to receive pictures in email of her enjoying it. That made my day. There are always cameras available to check in on your doggy to make you feel at ease. My pup is always excited and always playing during her stays and she is excited to go in when we arrive, she isn't even worried about me heading off and she's still happy when we come back for her. Then there is the additional perk of your pup being wiped out for a nice portion of the day when you return. Thank you Camp Bow Wow and especially for having staff around at all times, and for making it possible to take trips with ease knowing our pup will be taken care of.

Starting with our two cats, Loki and Minerva, at first and then seeing our new additions of a new kitten and a husky puppy in the next couple of years. The entire staff is amazing. Everyone is friendly welcoming and truly cares about the animals they work with. I even recommended Sunnycrest to my boyfriend and his dog and they love it as well. My dog, Meatball, gets extremely stressed and can be difficult during visits but the staff handles her with so much patience and compassion. They never make me feel bad and always make sure she is as comfortable as possible. Dr. Lee has done dental work on both Loki and Minerva and was incredibly thorough. She also performed Meatball's spay surgery and did an excellent job including a very thoughtful follow up appointment. Dr. Dimitra was the first doctor to see both our new kitten and puppy and made those first visits feel calm and welcoming. Dr. Tomko is also very knowledgeable and confident, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients. And the vet techs, they are the heart of the place!!! From when you first walk in, you are greeted with a smile and a welcome. It really makes you at peace. They are also knowledgeable and is the first person of the building that makes you pet feel comfortable before the vet comes see you. As you get checked out, they answer any questions and assist you. I have also called the office many times about questions and they were always so quick to get answers. What really sets Sunnycrest apart is that they never pressure you into services. They explain everything clearly and help you understand what is best for your pet while respecting your decisions. Sunnycrest Animal Care Center is hands down the best veterinary office I have ever been to, and I am so grateful to have found them.

So much so I decided he needed Doggy Day Care to continue the socialization and progress. The care he was given, exceeded any expectations or worries that I had. He started out rocky but by the end of boarding he started to warm up. The communication was great from photos, text updates and videos. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends & Noelani will definitely be Boarding and doing Day Care here in the future!

I had previously tried Board and Train programs at Sit Means Sit twice, but they didn't help with KB's anxiety at all. Tony was a completely different experience. What sets Tony apart is how thorough he is. He didn't just give commands; he constantly explained the "why" behind KB's behaviors. He was also incredibly supportive of me, helping me work through my own fears and nervousness. Because of his guidance, I can now actually play box with KB without the fear that he'll suddenly react toward me. We covered so much ground, including: * Command & Muzzle Work: Building a foundation of safety and communication. * Boundaries: KB used to be glued to my side whenever I answered the door. Now, he can stay calmly on the couch while I greet someone, and he stays indoors even when I go through the patio door. * Safety & Care: Tony was always so accommodating with scheduling. If it was too hot for an outdoor session, he would proactively suggest changing it for KB's safety. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed with your dog's behavior, go to Tony. He turned everything around for us, and I'm so grateful for the confidence he's given both me and KB.
