The moment I walked in, I immediately had a really good feeling about this place!…read more You can truly tell how much care and thought has gone into everything -- from the clean and spacious environment to all the little details. There's plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play comfortably. What made me feel the most reassured is that they don't just "keep" the dogs there -- they actually spend time playing with them, observing their behavior, and caring about their emotions. If your dog wants to socialize and play with other dogs, they do require proof of vaccinations including Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP. They also do a simple temperament test (around 20 minutes), which honestly made me feel they're super responsible and genuinely care about the safety and well-being of every dog. As pet owners, the hardest part about traveling isn't the distance -- it's worrying whether our fur babies are truly being cared for. At Dogden, you really get a sense of peace of mind. They understand dogs so well. It's not just boarding -- they treat every dog like a little kid and care for them with so much love and attention. When the dogs are happy, the owners can finally relax too Now I can travel without constantly worrying about my little baby at home

I've tried a few dog daycare spots in OC, and Dogden stood out to me. The space is large, clean,…read moreand feels well maintained. I appreciated that they take time to understand each dog's personality -- mine is pretty social, so group play worked well, but it's nice they also offer more private options. The turf and overall setup feel very clean, and there's no overwhelming smell, which I've experienced elsewhere. Staff were friendly and attentive, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog there. Overall, a reliable option for daycare or boarding.

We recently sent our sweet Kona Kai on the Bus Dog Adventure with Comfy Home Dog Boarding, and it…read morewas such a great experience! We don't send our baby many places without us, but we felt like she needed some dog play time and a little adventure. They picked her up right from our house, and the bus was so clean and honestly the cutest thing ever. They even sent photos of her sitting on the bus, which immediately made us feel better. Anytime I texted with questions, they responded quickly and were very kind. They also kept us updated about when she would be dropped off and gave us a little overview of how her day went. Later that night, they sent an entire album with hundreds of pictures from their adventures. Every single dog looked like they were having the best time! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby. We will definitely be coming back, and I would recommend Comfy Home Dog Boarding to anyone -- especially crazy, overprotective dog parents like us!

I actually hadn't realized that Disneyland discontinued their kennel service during Covid. Our fur babies are quite spoiled, and not used to being left anywhere. I was rather nervous trying to figure out last-minute accommodations, when I came across this option on yelp. I am so glad we did. They were incredibly responsive, and managed to accommodate our constantly changing schedule. Super friendly, and sent check-in on the pups throughout the day. Our babies were clearly made to feel safe and comfortable, and given lots of love and attention. Everything I could possibly hope for and more. I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for pet care needs in the area!

Long overdue review--we're incredibly grateful we found Paws at Play. Melissa, Jonathan, and their…read moreteam run what feels more like a luxury hotel for dogs than a typical daycare or boarding facility. Unlike other places that require appointments just to tour, they welcomed me immediately when I stopped by. It's clear they have nothing to hide--they take real pride in their space and standards. They're also very thorough about which dogs they accept, ensuring all pets are up to date on vaccinations, have had recent exams, and pass a behavior assessment before joining the group. That level of care really benefits all the dogs. If you board your pet here, you'll receive daily video updates, which is such a thoughtful touch. The facility itself is spotless, and the overall experience sets a benchmark that other boarding services should be measured against.

Smarte Parke has been such an amazing experience so far. I have taken my 8 year old Great Pyrenees…read moretwice to the one in Brea and once to the one in Corona. Nova isn't a huge player, but she loves to observe and get attention from the humans. I love watching her on the webcam hang out with dogs that are her same temperament.

We drive up and she is so excited to go see all her doggo friends (and human ones too!) Thank you for being so caring to all the dogs! Also side note thank you for keeping the day care area so clean and being so attentive! You guys are great!

I've been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding, and overall I've had a really positive…read moreexperience. To be transparent, my very first visit had a few hiccups. I was thankful that they accepted my county vaccination paperwork and that I was able to board my dog privately until she was spayed (which I did complete). There were some initial issues related to camera access and paperwork that were a bit frustrating at the time. The camera issue itself ultimately appeared to be more of a technical problem, but the initial communication at the front desk left me feeling like my concerns weren't fully heard. Looking back, it seems like something that could have been easily clarified with better communication. That said, coming from a customer service background, I believe it's important to give businesses the opportunity to address concerns before forming a final opinion. What really stood out to me was how the management team handled everything. They reached out, listened, and took my concerns seriously. They made the effort to explain, correct, and improve the experience, and followed up in a way that felt genuine and accountable. The issue was addressed quickly, and I truly believe they used the feedback as an opportunity to improve, which I really respect. Since then, I've continued bringing my dog here regularly - including overnight stays - and the difference has been clear. The staff is attentive, kind, and very in tune with the dogs. They recognize her, look forward to seeing her, and consistently keep me informed about how she's doing, including any concerns. She is treated with patience and care. They've also gone above and beyond in ways that meant a lot to me. They honored a daycare promotion I had missed when I first enrolled, and during a recent visit when my dog had been sprayed by a skunk, the team was incredibly attentive and helped clean her thoroughly and thoughtfully. That level of care made a stressful situation so much easier. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, and the team members who work directly with the dogs genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I have no doubt that they have the dogs' best interests in mind, even knowing how challenging it can be to manage so many different personalities. No place is perfect, and dogs can be unpredictable, but what matters most to me is how a business responds when something doesn't go as planned. In this case, they made it right, and that's why they've become my go-to for daycare and boarding. I'm very thankful to have found them, and my dog clearly feels comfortable there, which says everything.

I am so so grateful for John and Sara for helping my sweet boy, Sully. Sully initially came into my…read morehome as a foster dog. As he settled in my home, he became increasingly aggressive towards other people -- friends, family, and strangers alike, whether in the home or outside of the home. Sully was even aggressive towards my husband, and it felt like I was at a loss. I needed to do something before he actually ended up hurting someone. After explaining what was happening with Sully with the organization I was fostering from, they said they would need to put him down for the safety of the community. I couldn't let that happen, so I decided to keep him and find professional help. This is where John came in. After doing research online, I came across his Yelp page, where there were raving reviews of him helping aggressive dogs, so I took a chance. On his first day meeting John, Sully growled, hissed, and lunged at John. Sully tried to bite both him and me. John spent about an hour with me explaining what was going to happen and some training basics, and honestly, it was hard for me to focus because I was so nervous of Sully hurting someone in the moment. John was very patient, and showed me 5x how to hold a leash properly because I just couldn't focus from nervousness. I've never seen Sully so aggressive, and John explained it's because it was the first time someone was checking him and keeping him in his place. Sully stayed with John for a little over two weeks, and in that time, they went on ADVENTURES. I mentioned to John that Sully was afraid of water, aggressive with strangers, and other very specific things, and John made sure to tackle all of them. He sent me pictures and videos of his adventures throughout their time together. They went on a ferry, hiked to a waterfall, and so so much more. When there was a concern or something to celebrate, John was sure to communicate with us what was going on. In addition, due to personal circumstances, we needed to have Sully stay with John a few more days, and John was so understanding and accommodated us. I finally have my sweet boy back, and I see so much of a difference. He is calmer, more responsive, and he's running through my sprinklers now. LOL. It still takes him a bit to warm up to other people, but he's not as on guard or on edge as he was before. I'm excited to continue his progress at home, and I'm sure we will see John and Sara for future stays! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of his adventures with John and Sara. :)
