Highly recommend!!

RiO was in Amanda's professional care today, and provided an exceptional experience and grooming service for my best friend's 4th birthday treat! Complimented with a HaPpY B-DaY bandana! The management made it right by providing a previous credit given for my satisfaction, and it was applied to my bill. Paw Commons is #1!!! Sent with thanks for taking care of Rio and providing a great 'spa treatment'! Amanda, BTW, he smells amazing!

Freddy the Frenchy's Home Away from Home (aka Doggy Hotel Deluxe)…read more If you're looking for a place that treats your four-legged gremlin like royalty *and* has the patience of a saint, look no further. I've been boarding my dog Freddy (aka King of Stubbornville, Mayor of Sass Town, and producer of premium airbiscuits) at this magical canine resort during my vacations--and let me just say: they deserve medals. Big shiny ones. Possibly even keys to the city. Freddy is a 10-year-old French Bulldog with the attitude of a teenager who missed brunch and the digestive system of a whoopee cushion. He's adorable, yes, but also the kind of dog who looks you straight in the eye as he does the exact opposite of what you just asked. And yet... the team here has *nailed* caring for him. Destiny, Ashley, and Austin W. are basically Freddy's personal entourage now. They don't just tolerate his stubborn sass--they *understand* it. Austin even has a Frenchy himself, which means he gets the breed's trademark combo of clown energy, drama queen vibes, and... well, gas. Lots of gas. It's like Freddy found his spirit human. Whether it's overnight stays or their awesome day play sessions, I know Freddy is in great hands. He comes back exhausted (the good kind), happy, and only slightly annoyed that he's no longer the center of the universe once he's home again. Bottom line: if your pup is a diva, a weirdo, or just a loveable fart machine like Freddy, this place will treat them like family--with extra treats and zero judgment. 10/10 would board again. Freddy gives it two snorts and a side-eye of approval.

She gave us daily updates on our dogs accompanied with pictures to let us know how everything was going. She was very responsible and respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and exactly how we left it. But most importantly to us, the dogs were happy and in great shape when we returned. I would not hesitate to recommend Jan and hope that she is able to stay with our dogs whenever we are out of town in the future. Wonderful experience!

I can't say enough good things about Kelly and her team! She was with us from the very first day I…read morebrought my dog home 5 years ago. She welcomed my pup with so much love and treated her like one of her own. It gave me such peace of mind, especially in those early days of puppyhood. She's incredibly communicative, always sending pictures and videos that brightened my day and reassured me that my dog was happy and in great hands. When my dog was spayed, Kelly went above and beyond. She was gentle, attentive, and incredibly accommodating during her recovery. It's so clear how much she genuinely cares, and knowing that my pup had such compassionate care made all the difference. We are moving and are so sad to lose Kelly. I don't think we'll be able to find someone as reliable and loving, and who truly treats my dog like family. We feel so lucky to have found her!

The staff is WONDERFUL!! They remember my dogs name, even when she hasn't been in awhile! When I drop my dog off I can look in the viewing window and see how sweet the staff are to my dog and all the doggies. Last time I watched, I saw the staff pick her up, which she loves, give her a little snuggle and then put her in her favorite spot - on the top of the stair structure where she can oversee everything. They love to give scratches, pets and attention to all the dogs, it just shows you how kind, thoughtful and attentive they are. I love that they have the mutt-cams so we can watch all the fun. :) My dog sometimes doesn't want to leave she loves it there so much! We chose this place because we love how they are cage free when boarded overnight and they give you the cutest report card when you pick them up.

They sent home a first day report card which told us about how she did, what dogs she played with. They have cameras in the play yards so you can spy on your dog which of course we did. It was the first time we spent significant time away from her. She had a great time after being a bit shy at first. We decided to send her a second day in a row. Took her early (7:30) so she would be one of the first ones there. She had a great time. She easily interacted with the pack. There are many handlers on duty so that any problems are addressed immediately. Addy had to be "redirected" a few times for over enthusiasm We look forward to taking her back once or twice a week. The pack experience is ideal for a one dog family looking for supervised socialization. And she comes home exhausted
