Before the camps, both of our dogs needed help with general obedience and training for public spaces. Abby did a fantastic job with both of our pups, and the improvement has been incredible. We would highly recommend Paw Commons to anyone looking for dog training, boarding, or daycare, all of which we have used and had great experiences with. The staff is amazing, attentive, and the level of care they provide is truly unmatched.

He's very responsive and communicates any irregularities with your pet (diarrhea, not walking, not eating) that he notices. He's wonderful at sending video updates during the day of the "wild pup parties" (LOL) that seem to occur daily. Pups return home from both daycare and/or their walks exhausted and happy. Recommend Paws of the Valley 100%.

He catered to her needs, made her special food, and continued to check up on her long after the stay was over. In all seriousness, I couldn't recommend not only his services, but his love and attention any more. I feel so comforted and safe going on short to long trips knowing my home and my fur babies are in his care. 12/10 will always recommend!

I chose The Barking Dog based on its strong online reviews, but unfortunately my experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. This was my first time ever boarding my dogs, and I only scheduled this stay because I had an unexpected family death. Naturally, I was already stressed, and this experience made things worse. When I dropped my dogs off, the front desk employee was working alone. While I understand being busy, the entire check-in process was very disorganized and frustrating. After taking my dogs to the back, she spent time inventorying my items, answering calls, and helping other customers--without once acknowledging me or letting me know I was free to go. I stood there for about 15-20 minutes with no communication, only to eventually be told she didn't need anything else from me. During my dogs' two-night stay, I received zero updates--no messages, photos, or report cards, despite those being features listed in their system. As a first-time boarding experience, this was especially concerning and left me wondering how my dogs were doing the entire time. Pickup was just as disappointing. While bringing my dogs out, one of them got her foot stuck in the doorway and was yelping in pain, and the employee continued pulling her on the leash instead of stopping to help. I was handed my dogs quickly with no update on how they did during their stay. The dogs also smelled so bad when we got them, I had to immediately bathe them when I got home. Overall, the lack of communication, attentiveness, and basic care was very upsetting--especially given the circumstances that led me to need their services in the first place. I had another boarding appointment already scheduled for April which I canceled and will not be returning or recommending this facility.

Zero stars. If you want your dog to come home sick every time he stays at the Barking Dog and leave…read moreyou with hundreds to thousands of dollars in vet bills, this is the place to go. I was a loyal customer for 10 years, but ever since the facility was taken over by the current owner, Mitch, a few years ago, it has completely gone downhill. It started with my dog developing strange rashes after boarding stays that required medication to clear up. Then he contracted kennel cough. When I picked him up, he was obviously sick, yet no one contacted me to let me know there had been an issue or warned other customers after I reported it. The final straw was after a 9-day stay when I picked him up and immediately knew something was wrong. Again, nobody informed me he appeared ill. He stopped eating, then stopped drinking, and after multiple vet and emergency visits, he was diagnosed with valley fever. I reached out to Mitch, explained the repeated illnesses connected to boarding stays, and provided medical records documenting everything. His response was that he would do nothing unless I met with him in person -- not even refund the boarding stay. I agreed to meet and followed up multiple times, but after requesting all the records, he completely stopped responding. The lack of accountability, concern, and basic customer service is unbelievable. This owner only cares about money, not the wellbeing of the dogs in his care. After 10 years as a customer, I am beyond disappointed and disgusted by how this was handled. If you want your dog repeatedly exposed to illness, and for management to ignore you afterward, this is the place.

Lisa and the staff, especially Victoria were awesome and provided me with the peace of mind I needed because my two Golden Retrievers are my everything. Lisa assigned Victoria and there are not enough words to describe how terrific she was with my two puppies. Victoria cared for them, played with them, watched as they swam numerous times daily, dried them, fed them and went to the market to get them their fruit snacks. She totally followed the detailed schedule I had provided and Victoria sent me multiple daily updates, along with pictures of my two puppies. In addition, to caring for my Goldens, Victoria cared for my home as if it was hers, with great care and respect. Victoria is just one of many awesome pet sitters that Lisa has in her business and if you need these types of pet sitting services than Pick of the Litter is the TRUE PICK!!! Thank you Lisa and Victoria, Morgan and Cheyenne send you lots of Puppy licks and give you both a 10 Paw Rating.
