    Are you looking for a welcoming place for your pup? Dogtopia would be a good option for you!…read more We had our little (she's actually HUGE) baby stay at Dogtopia for 8 days while we were on vacation. Prior to any daycare or overnight stays, the staff does require a meet & greet. This costs $30 I believe and is used as a reference for your dog's friendliness, social skills, and overall behavior. They use this assessment to see which room to place them in. Each room has a camera set up for you to keep a close eye on your pup. I love this as you can get a true idea of if they like Dogtopia and also for your own peace of mind. The staff has always been friendly and our girl is always so happy to see them. The location is also perfect for us as we live near the mall. However, the location also poses a challenge as there is very little outdoor area for dogs to play and do their business. I say this because our girl did #2 inside, which she never does. My main issue with Dogtopia is the price. It seems to be $10 - $20 (or more) above other boarding places in Lexington. It poses questions as other boarding facilities offer more space and more amenities. I also think there should be a tad more transparency on what your pup goes through during overnight stays. What time are they put in their kennels, when are they let out, etc.

    Writing this review while a bit upset. We are from S. Carolina and decided to go to Lexington to…read moreattend Keeneland Racetrack. We own a 14.5 lb. Shih-Tzu, and we had to do something with her while we went to the track. I found Dogtopia on the internet and it sounded ideal for keeping her for the day. I set a time for a meet and greet which was scheduled the day of boarding. We arrived and filled out paperwork. We noticed a large room with maybe 30 dogs of all different breeds and sizes. We were told this was not normal as they usually separate large and small dogs. Anyway, they asked us to sit for a few minutes while they judged how our dog would fit in. We were informed our dog failed their test and they would not be able to keep her. We were told our dog actually bit (nipped) the employee and did not interact well with the other dogs. Our Shih-Tzu does suffer from anxiety, and she does get aggressive when frightened. In that environment, there is no doubt she would be scared. I don't doubt anything the employee said but we told him she was crate trained and I noticed two small dogs in crates. It blows my mind while they didn't keep her in the crate for the 6-7 hours they kept her. Needless to say, we did not get to Keeneland and headed back to South Carolina a day early. We did not get a chance to comment on the care at Dogtopia. Please be aware if you decide to use their services, there is a Pass/Fail test as part of the meet and greet. In addition, we used the services of a doggie daycare in Myrtle Beach, SC when our dog was several months old. What we observed at Dogtopia did not measure up to the standards of the Myrtle Beach facility.

    I am so happy I found Marlize and K9 Safari! We did a meet and greet at her place and it is…read moreamazing! Her property really shows how much she cares about the pets she takes in for daycare and overnight. She does pick up and drop offs conveniently located off I75. Her prices are very reasonable and it's much much better then traditional boarding places. Here the dogs are out majority of the day playing and being dogs! I will not take my dog anywhere else! Thank you Marlize!

    We have been using K9 Safari for several years now and our dogs absolutely love it there. We…read morediscovered K9 Safari when searching for a place that we could board our German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety. He was a rescue and standard kennels are a 100% No Go for him. We went and checked out the K9 Safari facility and were impressed with the spaces provided for the dogs to play both inside and outside. Despite the facility being in Richmond, Marlize makes drop off and pick up convenient for clients by offering drop offs right off I75 or at various locations in Lexington. My two Shepherds get excited when they see the doggie bus pull in and they hop right in. That tells me they are happy there and I don't feel bad having to leave them when we go on vacation. She regularly sends pics of the dogs to us via text so we can see how much fun they are having there. I often say our one Shepherd is actually sad when she has to come home because she only has one dog to play with at home vs lots and lots of different dogs there. I recommend K9 Safari to everyone who is looking for somewhere to board their pups.
