All of the staff are incredible, but Madison, Savannah and Bryce were especially patient and…read moreunderstanding of my dog mom concerns as well as very accommodating of my requests. The reason I sought another facility for my pups is that after 15 years with another in town, my dogs appeared desperate to see me upon my return- not just happy, but unusually eager to leave. Because of this, I was very conscious of their demeanor when I picked them up from Red Fern and was pleased when I saw that while they were very happy to see me, they would have been just as happy to stay another day. That told me all I needed to know about Red Fern! This paired with the daily pictures of my babies having a ball, the report card shining light on their best qualities and my own positive experience with all of the staff made it clear that Red Fern is my pups' new home away from home when I am called out of town. If you are considering a boarding, grooming or training facility in Marion County, look no further than Red Fern Pet Lodge!

She is a high energy puppy, so this helps her burn off some of that energy. She comes home and sleeps good at night. I receive a report card and photos of her from Enrichment Day Care, which I just love. The team there knew Athena the moment we walked through the door after her first stay. While dropping her off, we witnessed many other dogs being dropped off, all just as happy and excited to be there as Athena. That says a lot about the place when the dogs are happy to be there. It's the best thing we could ever do to help Athena socialize and gain the confidence she needs to grow into a well rounded dog.

The only caution is that since everything is outside it isn't good for flat faced dogs. Just too hot for them. The thing that impressed me the most was that the owner is more concerned about the dogs health than $$$. He explained that he felt wasn't safe for my English Bulldog. My other 2 dogs (terriers) were allowed to stay and had a blast playing for a few days while I moved house. Absolutely Recommend!

They were so patient with my anxious dog Caesar--followed all my instructions to keep him calm, and by the time I got back he was totally relaxed. They even kept my dogs separate from the other pets they were watching (a couple of big dogs and a bird), so everything stayed smooth and stress-free. They sent me updates with pics, their rates were super reasonable, and it felt way better than leaving my pups at a boarding clinic. If you need kind and reliable sitters, definitely go with them--they really went above and beyond!

I had an amazing experience boarding my dogs, Whitney and Starr, at Pet Paradise! From the moment I…read morewalked in, I could tell the dogs were having a great time. Seeing them happily playing and entertaining themselves in the pool immediately put my mind at ease. The staff was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional throughout the entire stay. I also loved how conveniently located the facility is near my home, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of care provided. As an added bonus, they offer grooming and other services, making it a one-stop destination for pet care. One of my favorite touches was receiving a report card with photos of my precious fur babies looking happy, relaxed, and content while I was away. It was wonderful to see how well they were being cared for. I highly recommend Pet Paradise to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and caring place to board their pets. Whitney and Starr will definitely be back, and I will absolutely be booking with Pet Paradise again!

This was the second time I boarded my German Shepherd puppy at this facility, and unfortunately,…read moreafter this most recent experience, I will not be returning. Prior to boarding, I requested daily report cards with photos to keep me updated on my puppy's well-being. However, I only received one update during his stay. This lack of communication left me concerned about whether he was being provided the playtime and attention that had been requested. What is most concerning is the condition in which my dog was returned to me. While staff informed me at pickup that he had become sick, this was never communicated to me beforehand. Had I been notified, I would have gladly paid for him to be bathed and cleaned before pickup. I was extremely disappointed to find that he appeared to have been left in urine and feces for an extended period. His coat was dry, crusted, and clearly had not been cleaned. This condition also raises concerns about how frequently he was being checked on and let out during his stay. As a pet owner, I expect clear communication and a basic standard of care, cleanliness, and attention. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet those expectations.
