My dog Stevie absolutely loves her time at this daycare. Everyone is so caring . Brad one of the owners is calm and professional. The support staff are all caring and professional.. Carly and Jamison are great with Stevie. She has some anxiety issues and she loves everyone there. She can't wait to get inside when I drop her off.I have tried other day care and it was not a positive experience. They really care about the dogs. Your dog will definitely let you know if something works and this works!! I so appreciate the extra care they devote to the dogs. read more

The staff here is absolutely amazing! My husky decided to go on a run this morning (01/22) off leash and when he ran behind and in front of their business. All of the staff were so quick and willing to help me! If I ever need to board him they will be my first choice! They had no idea who I was and were quick to spring into action to help a dog in need. That speaks volumes to their character! read more

I first contacted Playful Pooch when living in CA. I dropped Blanca off for a trial day, and she passed. Since I was flying out the first weekend upon moving, I left Blanca for 4 nights in the care of Brenda, Will and the great staff. Everyone was so kind! They found a perfect solution for a 12 year old chihuahua who can't see that well. They told me that they put her bed in the middle of the floor so she felt safe, yet could watch and smell the other dogs who were playing or boarding at the time. I will definitely be bringing her back. read more

Playful Pooch - Pet Boarding Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have worked for Brad/Sharene (owners) on and off for about 10 years. They are the most lovely people who are always willing to lend a helping hand and even after leaving for other pastures, I leave my dogs with them knowing full well how well cared for and attentive the staff are. They are the best and I would recommend them to everyone I know every chance I get for all of your boarding and daycare needs. read more

So Miles (my parent's dog) eventually became my dog over the years. The Denver lifestyle was just better for him, I guess. I had moved from Lowry and changed jobs, so Playful Pooch wasn't in an ideal location for me. Miles went to a few other doggy daycare places, but never rushed in nor came back as exhausted as he did from Playful Pooch. Eventually, I decided to make the drive to Playful Pooch in the mornings and whenever I needed boarding. I am still so thankful for them. Miles always runs in when I drop him off. read more

Bottom line: great place as long as everything goes smoothly and you don't question anything of the owner, or need any customer service. We had been loyal customers for about 6-7 years with our schnoodle, who passed in Dec 2013. Used them quite often and never had a problem. We acquired a portuguese water dog/poodle mix in February 2014. We took our new very busy, playful pup for doggy care a couple times a week to release some energy starting in early March. One day when we picked her up & brought her home, she started vomiting violently approx. 15-20 times. It was evening by that point, so we had to take her to Alameda East to the tune of $450. We were concerned and upset. I sent an email asking if other dogs were sick, could she have gotten something she shouldn't have and asked what there policy was for emergency vet bill reimbursement. Very shortly after that, we received a refund for the remainder of $$ we paid in advance for her doggy day care. After our pup healed, I called to see if she'd watch our pup while we went out of town in early April. The owner, Brenda, called me eventually to say that while they loved our pup, they would not accept us back in their kennel because of ME. That I had the nerve to question how our dog had gotten sick, and what their policy was for reimbursement, she felt was overreacting. We'd been customers for 6-7 years, and a simple question of how our dog got so sick, and if there was policy for vet bill reimbursement (she could have just told me the policy), we were not welcome. Yes we have a wonderful new doggy day care with Bogart, Inc. read more

We are very pleased with this dog care option! They seem to love our pouch, our dog is very excited to come here and loving the bath option! She leaves squeaky clean and smelling amazing! They are so popular it's actually hard to get in but we always get added to the waitlist and about 50% succeed in getting in. read more

My dogs love this place and for good reason! There's a huge yard for them to play (and I can watch through dog cams, which as any over protective pet parent knows, is the best way to distract yourself at work) and they get crates together. Especially having large dogs, knowing they will be together and therefore more comfortable, makes me confident to leave them for doggy day care and in the future overnight. I was initial apprehensive of the 10am-2pm down time, however the team was really clear on explaining it and I always feel like my pups come home exhausted despite having their own nap time. I feel like the expense is well worth it and we're happy to be part of the playful Pooch family! read more

Oso loves staying here and it makes it easier for me to travel because I know they dote on him. My dog is my world and PP gets that.

All of my dogs love this place for day care and boarding. 2 out of 3 of my dogs are not friendly with other animals. Playful Pooch gives them their own playtime together. My dog who is friendly gets her play time with her siblings and then gets turned out in her normal play group. This makes me feel a lot better than having someone pet sit in my home or having to put my dogs in a kennel. They aren't bad dogs. They just don't adjust well to play groups playful pooch totally understands that! I'd like to add that they were so helpful in getting our rescue pup acclimated to new people. He has a tough time adjusting to new people, and they had no problem handling him at all. read more

My pup, Wally loves going to Playful Pooch every week and we have even boarded him for long stays (2 or more weeks). Each time, he pulls me all the way in as soon as we get out of the car and always runs inside. The staff are all so sweet to him and have even given him their own little nicknames. Wally is totally exhausted and sleeps for the rest of the day after I pick him up. For boarding, they are always happy to let me know how he's doing when I call to check in on him. I feel really lucky this daycare is so close to our house and that Wally enjoys his time there. read more

We are so glad to have found Playful Pooch! We had been gifted with an extremely (oftentimes painfully) energetic wheaten terrier and she has more energy than we could possibly make her expend in a day. Thankfully, we can count on a day with Playful Pooch to tire her out, socialize her when she's not always being a good girl, and generally giving her a fun time away from home. Prices are extremely reasonable for an entire day of handling our pup and we love that she has her own kennel to relax in, and they are great about feeding Morrighan her own food, since she is notorious for a sensitive tummy. Brad and Sio are extremely friendly working up front and we love to see the affection they treat all the dogs with. The fact that the facility has recently been updated and renovated is also a testament to the care they put into the animals. The on-site bathing is also nice when Morrighan may be particularly stinky after a day of play. The food they offer for sale is high-quality and the front is always well-kept and clean. Considering we live out near the airport, getting Morrighan here during rush hour can be a pain but that's Denver! And the treatment, prices, and people are well work the trip. P.S. We love the bandana that they put on her when she's freshly bathed. It's a cute touch! read more

This is the new doggie day care we send our Bernese Mountain Dog to and she absolutely adores it. Some positives from Playful Pooch that we didn't experience in other places: + She never comes back smelling dirty. At other day care places I think she spent a lot of time rolling around outside or they didn't really clean the kennels that well. Not so here. Sure, she smells like other dogs and a little dirty, but the difference is drastic enough that even a human nose can pick it up. + She comes back happy, tired, but never hurt. We have had a few problems in other day cares because she's big, but she's a puppy and so when people let her play with older dogs her size they can get a little too aggressive because she's romp-y. + Her baths that we get here from time to time are awesome. Her fur is so white, her coat is so soft, and she smells super good. + The treats they give to dogs are usually veggie-based which is awesome when your dog has a chicken allergy like mine. + The people working here are really, really nice. We've boarded Ellie here for long weekends and take her to daycare about twice a week and I'm so happy that we made the switch as I think it's a much better place for our pup. read more

I wanted to totally love this place. I really did. It's close to home, spacious, clean, and well-organized. The staff is really friendly and obviously loves animals. And, most importantly, my 13-month old Chocolate Lab loves coming here. After our first two visits, I really thought I had found the daycare for us. But, when I called to book him for a third daycare/boarding session, the staff member chastised me for some of his behaviors and complained that he barked too much, even suggesting he needed a bark collar, which I am totally against. The conversation left me confused, as our dog never barks at home, and feeling bad about myself as a puppy parent. And I definitely don't want to be one of those people who refuses to recognize they have an out-of-control dog. Long story short, I ended up taking him to another boarding/daycare facility this week, and they had nothing but good things to say about my puppy. They even offered me a reduced daycare rate to encourage me to bring him more often, as they had so much fun with him. They raved about how well he played with the other dogs! I don't doubt that Playful Pooch is a great doggy daycare facility, but I will not be bringing my puppy back. It just wasn't the place for us. read more

I am a dog trainer and because dog socializing is so very important for a balanced mind - our dogs, and a sanity - us, I suggest doggie day care to most of my clients. Doggie daycares are truley hit and miss so I went on a search to find the best one in Denver. When I found the Pooch, I was immediately satisfied. It is truely one of the cleanest daycares I have ever come across. All the employees are certified in dog care, the person to dog ratio promotes saftey, you can check in on your dog during the day by loggin in to their site, and they sell high quality food & treats. The owners, Brenda & Will, are not only great dog people, but they also run a solid business. They go out of their way to make sure that everydog is happy & healthy - oh and did I mention they will wash your dog too?!?? read more

We drop off our berner Ellie Mae here pretty frequently for both boarding and daycare and I have to say that I'm quite happy with the service. Ellie is never hurt or starving when we come get her (which is way better than the last place we tried) and she seems very very very very very very eager to go back everytime I drop her off. I really can't give a better endorsement than the fact that my dog nearly rips my arm off to get into the place even after I leave her there for 6 days. If that's not a glowing recommendation, I don't know what is. read more

I'm so thankful that I found the Playful Pooch! Will and Brenda are true animal lovers, and they follow instructions to a "T". They truly understand how important it is to provide clean, safe, loving surroundings for dogs. I have extremely high standards when it comes to day care and boarding for my two Min Pins, as they're older, more delicate dogs. I've had several lackluster experiences in Denver with boarding, some facilities so disgusting that I was appalled people leave their dogs there! The routine at the Pooch is perfect for them, as they get to have a "nap" during the day. The facility is ample in size, and spotlessly clean. It even smells nice in the kennels, which was definitely a surprise. They've never batted an eye at any of my special requests, and are so accommodating! When I check out, I get several stories on the fly about how my girls did - no one has to consult notes, or check in the computer - you just get personalized stories about your dogs! For me, though, the proof is in the pudding - my dogs have never been happier or more "normal" coming home from boarding than they do from Playful Pooch. They're tired, sure, but not shell-shocked and shaking - and that speaks volumes to me. read more

We absolutely love playful pooch! We have been bringing our dog here several times a week for doggie daycare since winter 2015 and she is so excited to arrive! Her whole body literally wiggles she is so happy for some playtime with her furry friends and the wonderful staff that works there. She always comes home tired and chill. We are thrilled for her to get lots of play time and socialization when we have to go to work. We have also boarded our dog here a few times and have always had a great experience. Lucy sleeps fine and eats while she's there, so she's obviously relaxed and comfortable during her stay. We feel confident that Lucy is getting the care and attention she deserves when she's at Playful Pooch. The facilities are clean, the staff is so friendly and always nothing but sweet to Lucy, and we love that I, her nervous dog mama, can check in on her during the day on the online cameras to make sure baby girl is happy and having fun! Thanks for all you do, Playful Pooch! read more

Will and Brenda run a wonderfully clean, organized, and fun daycare and boarding center. My fiance and I travel quite frequently and have had to leave our two dogs at Playful Pooch twice in the last two months. Before boarding the pups went in for a day of daycare to try out the place and we got a small tour. Everything is very clean, you honestly wouldn't know they host dozens of dogs a day because the place doesn't small anything but clean! I was nervous at first when I learned that they shut down from 10-2 and especially that there is no staff present from 7pm onward when boarding your dog overnight. But there must be a reason for this and it certainly doesn't seem like the dogs mind because they are always tired yet happy when we pick them up. My only hope would be that should there be an emergency where we needed to pick up the dogs, that they would be responsive even during closed hours, but I am confident they would be. Lastly I have to say i impressed with how personal they are with all the dogs. I don't know how they do it given I know they usually have at least 40-50 dogs every day, and my two have only stayed their twice, but somehow they not only know the names but also the personalities of their dogs and they take adorable pictures of them while they are there! We are happy and relieved to have found a great facility in Denver that we can count on when we have to travel out of town. Thanks Brenda & Will! read more

Amazing care for my pup for both daycare and boarding. We've been going here for years and my dog LOVES it--it's like a second home. Kind, dog-centric and thoughtful people who understand dog/pack dynamics. All around wonderful. read more

I just got an email that the Playful Pooch is under new ownership & all I can say is that is GREAT news!!! I no longer live in Denver but I had taken my dogs there a little over a year ago and it was a horrible experience with the old owners. If I ever end up back in Denver I'll definitely take my dogs back. read more

I was nervous taking my (3month old) puppy to a doggie daycare, however Brenda was so kind and welcoming she walked us through everything from what shots he needed to where he would sleep during nap times. My dog now LOVES going there and we have taken him to a few other places just for convenience sake and will only ever go back to Playful Pooch. It's a little out of the way for us, but well worth the extra few minutes to have peace of mind all day while we leave him there, as well as the entire week we were on vacation and boarded him there. Furthermore, we got the sweetest thank you card from them after we got back from vacation with a picture of him having a blast. They are extremely knowledgable, friendly and most importantly, LOVE dogs. I would and do recommend Playful Pooch to anyone who has a dog and wants the dog to be happy! read more

We have been taking our two Frenchies to Playful Pooch for daycare for about a month now, and have had great experiences. The dogs always come home happy and worn out! The staff is always super friendly and know our dogs well! We will definitely continue to take them here and would trust them for boarding as well. read more

I really wanted to try this place out for a Monday - Friday daycare. It's clean, nice looking, etc. I even paid extra to get the canine flu shot they require and the booster (ends up being about $50 from Vetco) shot. I was THAT ready to start taking her there. But, when I heard that they totally close down the place from 10am - 2pm daily, I just felt like that is a LONG time for dogs to be in a kennel, not socializing or playing with other dogs! You can drop off as early as 6am, but I would typically be there around 8. So my pet would play for 2 hrs, put away in her own kennel for 4 straight hours, and then come out and play again. That's different. I mean, if you drop your dog off while you work an 8 hour day, half of that they are sitting alone in a kennel (large, so they will potty in there, too) just barking to one another. So, Monday - Friday dog parents are supposed to pay $400 a month for doggie daycare and half the time they are there, they are not playing, interacting and socializing? And you have no pools, either? The back yard is very plain looking. Just a chain link area. It also concerned me if there was an emergency and I needed to get my pet or go home early from work, I am out of luck from 10 - 2 pm. I am sure 4 hrs of napping throughout the day is fine, but a 4 hour chunk is ALOT at one time and comes across like they have better things to do than watch our dogs, for what they charge. The most concerning point is: No one is there to let me pick up my pet, if I needed to. I am not comfortable with that and think they should stay open throughout the day, like every other pet daycare I've researched. I saw that they were "closed" from 10 - 2 pm but assumed that meant no drop offs / pick ups preferred during that time, closed to the public - but not completely void of humans who work there. But, after inquiring further, I was finally told that no one is even there and that the dogs are stuck in kennels for 4 hours. It would be one thing if they still had employees there and playing with the dogs and they'd rather not unlock the door so they can focus on the animals - but in an extreme emergency, it would be nice to know I could get my pet. The place looks fine, but for what they are charging to keep the dogs in kennels half the day just seems ridiculous. Can anyone explain why they must shut down like that? All the other places I've looked into are either 24/7 or there's always someone there if I need to drop off late or pick up early. I am just glad I didn't spend my money here. read more

We took our dog here for roughly 6 months and after dealing with him vomiting/having diarrhea/limping after nearly every visit the past month or so we no longer take him there. He is now at another doggie daycare and has not had a single issue being sick. We were told by our vet that the characteristics of our dogs stool are that of a dog who is undergoing "extreme stress" and as we know he gets nothing but love, attention and multiple walks and hours of playtime the days he is home with us we know the stress doesn't come from home. The staff is friendly and professional, which was nice. They are almost always available for drop in day care and have availability for your dog, but after the issues with our dog getting sick I'm wondering if other people have that issue and that's why they have so much availability.... We really wanted to like this place because of the location and convenience between home and work but our pups health takes priority. read more

I was EXTREMELY happy with my dog's recent stay at the Playful Pooch. I had to make the decision about where to kennel him very quickly, after living in Denver less than 3 weeks in order to go back to the East Coast for a funeral. Although I was referred to the Playful Pooch by another happy client, I was still a bit uncomfortable with the idea of boarding my 2 year old pup somewhere new because we have been living in transition for the last 3 months which has been very stressful for him. Here is what impressed me: ~ Brenda, one of the owners of the business, returned my initial phone call on a Friday afternoon and spent quite a bit of time explaining how your daycare/boarding works. ~ Kelli, one of their staff, provided me with a thorough tour of the facility the next day which gave me peace of mind that my pup would be in a well run, clean facility for his 3 day stay. ~ When I dropped him off that Sunday, I was especially pleased to see that the information I gave to Kelli about my dog's 'sensitive' right hind leg was accurately conveyed to the other staff. ~ Brenda and Will were there at drop off and their love of pups was evident. ~ The Webcams are great - with an iPhone App that lets you log in and select one of the many cameras available to get a good shot of your pup. ~ Lastly, Kelli, one of the staff members, was nice enough to wait an extra 15 minutes after closing for me to pick him up so I didn't have to come back the next day. This was helpful because I am presently living about an hour from the facility. ~ When my pup got home, he seemed perfectly adjusted, and happy to be home without being stinky (a problem I had with previous daycares) or excessively exhausted. I think he had a ball. ~ Other reviewers mention their displeasure of the dogs going in their crates from 10-2 every day. I, too, wasn't crazy about the idea initially. However, after watching on the webcams how much they play in their morning and afternoon sessions, I was glad to know he was getting a good break. He also seems more 'appropriately tired' today than he has after being in other daycares where he was absolutely exhausted. ~ I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

The Playful Pooch is an absolute 5 star doggie daycare, boarding facility, and overall business. I have only been passionate enough to write a review for two places: The Playful Pooch and Sushi Tora in boulder. I delayed writing this because I hope the place never changes. I no longer live near the Playful Pooch, but when I am near there or in town, I try to bring my dog (a nearly 2yr old crazy funny shepherd/boxer mutt that LOVES to play) there as often as possible. Every place I have gone to since the Playful Pooch makes me realize how spoiled my dog was to have gone there. There are 3 main reasons this is an absolute 5 star business (sorry this is long, but I just wish other places could be run like the pooch): 1.) The PEOPLE. Unlike most daycare/boarding facilities where the people look disgruntled and annoyed with their jobs/lives, the people at the pooch are absolute dog lovers. Personally, I don't want some annoyed person to handle my dog or take out anger on anyone's pets, which I get nervous about at pretty much every place I've been to. Will and Brenda some how have some how stuck to their guns and only hired people with a LOT of experience with not only interacting with dogs, but TRAINING dogs. I currently have to take my dog to one of the [not to be named] top ranked places in the city and I am completely fed up with these other places. The people at other places are always disgruntled, and when they try and hide it, they can't hide the fact that X number of dogs are barking nervously sounding agitated. Sorry i forget their names, but Brenda, Will, Brittany, and the others are the absolute best. My dog never came home with bad habits after playing at the pooch. Now, after these other places, she has accrued some habits that we are not fond of at all. Habits that the PEOPLE at the playful pooch would not have allowed to happen. They set standards for how the dogs are to act and play, and their experience shows. 2.) The FACILITY. While trendy down town places renovate the front shop to look nice for the human pet owners to enjoy (rather than the actual pet facilities), the playful pooch renovates the back. They have play structures, fresh turf, and covered areas for the dogs that are continually CLEANED. Moreover, they purposefully have segmented areas. This is a major plus because like people, all dogs don't get along or play the same way. The staff here purposefully places the dogs in groups. You might say why cant my dog play with every dog? But i'm sure your dog is much happier this way. Dog fights are prevented, timid dogs (aka my friend's shy dog) are more willing to play and socialize, and gosh I miss the pooch! 3.) TRANSPARENCY. The pooch has a online camera for users to access, except from 10am-2pm daily. I realize one user complained that this is a long time for the camera to be off, but how many places have cameras??? Yes it's off from 10-2pm, and im ok with this because sometimes when you're at work, you don't want someone/people watching your every move all day. Sometimes, you just need to pick you nose or a wedgy. Sometimes they need to do maintenance type things to maintain the facility. With the amount of transparency they offer, I am fully confident in whatever activities they need to do during that time. My dog came home tired, never had infections, and ALWAYS dragged me in to the pooch like no other place, things I have yet to find elsewhere. Long story...long, if you're looking for a place and you're hesitant because "my dog is a little different/has different needs" or you aren't sure because there are only 8 reviews, I suggest you go and see the place yourself, try it, and then you'll realize why there are so few reviews: no one wants to reveal this gem. I wish i still lived by the pooch so i wouldn't be so disappointed with the 4 other places in denver i've tried or the absolutely garbage places in california. Try the pooch. you won't regret it. read more

Josie loves coming here. Probably more than she loves me. I like it because she's exhausted, which limits how often she attacks and bites on me! All the staff is kind and very knowledgeable and the facility is always clean. read more

In June, 2008 I was at a loss when my doggie day care closed. I looked and looked and then I found Playful Pooch...better than I ever thought possible. I have some "tricky" dogs and Brenda and Will didn't judge. Instead, Roger, my shy guy, LOVES his time at Playful Pooch. He is so crazy that I can hardly contain him in the car when we arrive. He runs to the door and wants to knock it down so he can have his fun time! (Now I call 5 minutes before I arrive so someone can open the door and greet Roger...pretty cute.) Annie has health issues and I always get a report card of how she did. I have had to go out-of-town more than several times and I know that Playful Pooch is like sending the dogs to the grandparents for my time away. I love my dogs very, very much and I am so glad I have found a place that gives as much love as I think they deserve... a lot!! read more

I have been a customer of Playful Pooch for 4 years. I have rescue dogs and Brenda and Will have always gone the extra mile (and then some) to accomodate their needs. I would not trust my pups with anyone else! The facility is large, clean, and provides a fun environment for my dogs. They are always so excited to go to daycare, and they come home happy and exhausted from playing all day. I did read the one bad review on this site and I can say that in 4 years I have never had one bad experience at the Pooch. In my experience, Brenda and Will are very careful in introducing new dogs, and play time is always supervised. Brenda and Will treat their guests as their own, and their customer service is beyond reproach. If you are looking for a daycare that will treat both you and your dog with kindness, sincerity, and respect and provide your dog with a safe environment (and some love, too!), look no further. The Pooch is the place! read more

We have tried a few dog daycare and boarding facilities in Denver, and Playful Pooch is the best. How do I know? When we drop off our two corgis, they are so excited to be there that they don't even look back at mom and dad! We love the fact that they receive some down time in the middle of the day, have a comfortable turf that doesn't hurt the girls' paws, and the staff is friendly and loves our pups almost as much as we do. read more

My Shiba Inu is not a very social pup so I get very nervous leaving her with anyone or at any place EXCEPT Playful Pooch. Brenda and the staff are very attentive with Mica. When she had an upset tummy, they were quick to provide their own yogurt and other probiotics to help her. I also love how I access their cameras at anytime to see Mica. When I do see, she is surprisingly comfortable with the other dogs. Instead of separating dog by weight/size they are grouped by temperament which allows Mica to be more relaxed. LOVE this place! read more

You can tell they really care about the animals. I always love seeing a small local business that puts care and love into what they do!

I cannot recommend Playful Pooch highly enough. Before we found them, we had used at least 2 other boarding facilities in town. After a friend recommended Playful Pooch, we went in for a visit, and as soon as you walk in the door, you know that this is where you dog would choose to be if he had a say. The owners are such a wonderful couple who are more than happy to show you their facility and where your dog will be throughout his stay. It meant so much to me to see how proud of their facility they are! Our dog can be a bit difficult, so we're always nervous to leave her without us there to guide interactions. Long story short, Playful Pooch takes care of her so well! And always give us glowing reports when we get back! Luna (our pup) is always as happy as can be when I come to pick her up, and everyone there seems to know her by name (which makes a doggie mom feel wonderful). Even more important is that every time I take her there to drop her off, she is just as happy! Playful pooch has always handled any special requests (medicine, specialty food, etc.) WONDERFULLY. Not a single issue, just an easy, wonderful interaction every time! I really cannot recommend Playful Pooch enough! Thank you to their wonderful team!!! They run a top notch, clean, beautiful, friendly, and loving daycare/boarding center. read more

We have been bringing our lab mix, Jane to the Pooch for a little over a year now. The staff at the Pooch provides top notch care for our dog. Jane loves the play time and getting to interact with the other dogs at the Pooch. As a dog owner I am always concerned with how clean I think a place is. I can tell you that I have been so impressed with how clean the facilities at the Pooch are. It never smells and I always think about how clean it is. We use the kennel and daycare services and are very pleased with both. Jane also comes home clean and is always very eager to go back. She starts barking and wagging the minute I turn Holly. I give the pooch a glowing recommendation and now that we have our new Labradoodle Puppy, I can't wait for him to go to the Pooch. read more

My pup, Frankie, loves it here! There is lots of space to run around and play. She also loves the independent nap time. For a pup who suffers from separation anxiety, she did extremely well and was tuckered out for days that followed. The staff was great with her and gave me a full report of how she did during the day. I've decided that Frankie had such a good time that she will be a regular. read more

We LOVE Playful Pooch! I can't imagine taking my aussie anywhere else. We recently moved and I now drive 90 minutes roundtrip to get her there. It is sooo worth it b/c I know she will be safe and well cared for by the entire staff. She loves going to school at the Pooch so much she barks in anticipation 5 blocks before we arrive. She runs out of the car and up to the door like she owns the place. She is always greeted with love and attention on her way in and out with treats. Playful Pooch is very clean with a great environment for dogs to play. They have great products from food, toys, treats and music CD's for anxious dogs. They know dogs and are very accomodating to each dogs needs. You will be hooked after one visit. Erika and Spartan read more

I started taking my Golden Retriever to Playful Pooch in August 2011 after a strong recommendation from my dog's vet. This was the first time I had ever enrolled a dog into daycare. Brenda and Will Miller are two of the most professional individuals I have ever worked with in any field of endeavor. I work long twelve hour days and the piece of mind I have had not having to worry that my dog is safe and well cared for while I am at work is priceless. The facility is pristine in cleanliness. The owners and staff clearly enjoy their work, four legged customers and human clients. My dog comes home every night happy, tired and sleeps soundly. They are highly recommended to anyone who asks where I send my dog. They are simply, THE BEST. read more

Love these guys! They always take great care of my pets whenever I'm out of town. I don't trust anyone else!
