VIP is like taking my dog to family! She becomes visibly excited when we pull up and wiggles with excitement when we walk through the door My dog is high energy and the staff do a great job putting her with other pups of similar disposition to play together. They know she needs time to acclimate when she first arrives and how she interacts with other dogs. She returns happy and well exercised after every stay. I highly recommend VIP ! read more

My dog Atlas loves going here. He comes home so tired he's still tired The next day But it's a good tired. I have also left him here for overnights and He does great! Definitely give your pup a fun day out with his puppy friends. read more

I have had nothing but great experience with VIPuppy Spa and am sure that if my dog could write his own review he would say the same. My pet-- a Chihuahua--can be very high strung but he is always warmly greeted and welcomed by name at VIP and the handovers are a breeze. I have no hesitation recommending VIP based on my experience which extends over 3-4 years. read more

Our pups are so happy when they get to spend time at VIP! The staff is amazing, they take time to communicate during the day with updates on how your pups are doing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about VIP, especially Kerry and Gabbie! Thank you to the entire staff at VIP. Jet, Koda and Duke love staying! read more

I was looking a daycare/boarding option with both indoor and outdoor and not getting too messy in bad weather. I heard about VIPuppy through a neighbor and while I was on a waitlist for a couple months, it was well worth it. My dog loves this place, she runs for the door every time we arrive and comes home tired! They post pictures on instagram everyday so you can see the pups having a great time. I do wish that had a puppy cam, but the pictures are helpful. I've boarded her here for almost a week, and she had a blast. I'm not even sure she missed me! Staff is friendly. Experience is great so far. read more

I have to say VIPuppy Spa might be the best place I've every brought my 7 month Pitbull. We tried them for an hour last week. My dog came home happy and fulfilled. Then we tried a full day. It was the best thing ever. I came home to a puppy who was tired and controlled. My dog was so relax I thought he was sick (HA). I am so happy this place exist and I recommend that you take your dog there. Its a amazing! read more

So I want to begin by saying that I have an anxious dog. A very, very anxious dog. Sadie is a rescue who went through some things when she was a puppy. She barked all the time. Strangers terrified her. She would hide behind me when we went into any new setting. She ran from other dogs who came too close. So I was very apprehensive about sending her to any sort of boarding or daycare. But I'm a teacher, and so I work long hours and, needed to send her somewhere clean and nice for the day so she could be looked after. I couldn't be happier with my choice of VIPuppy. The location is clean and well managed. The dogs are seperated by size for outdoor play. And I was incredibly happy when I found out, after her first day there, that she'd gotten very anxious around the dogs, and so the staff had brought her into the office with them where she could take a break. So we kept sending her there, confident that the staff was taking great care of Sadie. Over time, something I began to notice is that the more Sadie went, the more she began to change. She didn't bark as much. She didn't hide behind me as often. She began saying hello to other dogs in the street. She even let strangers in our house pet her. We've been sending her there for a few months now, and Sadie is a changed dog. She's still anxious, and still approaches a lot of new situations carefully and with trepidation, but she's opening up. Seeing her wag her tail when the staff come out is a total game changer. Cannot give this place a high enough rating. (also, they have an instagram where they post picture of the dogs every day. Sadie had always been very camera shy, but over time, as she got bolder, she began to pop up on their feed. a nice surprise at work to check the page and see your pup looking happy!) read more

Zoey loves you!!! and so do I. That's the only car trip she agrees to make without throwing up in my car - to "daycare to play with other doggies". She is a border collie mix, so I know she understands the words :) read more

The Spa is really nice. Lots of areas for the dogs to play. My boy is new to daycare and socializing. He had a somewhat traumatic first experience AT A DIFFERENT PLACE. I explained to the staff how that went and they have been SO accommodating with reintroducing him to the daycare experience in a gentle way. I really think this is going to be a happy place for him. Apparently he already has a new human girlfriend because he followed one of the staff around the entire day! read more

Our Golden, Rory loves to go to daycare at VIPuppy Spa. The staff genuinely likes him and he is always excited to go see his friends at daycare when we pull into the parking lot. Highly recommend. read more

VIPuppy Spa is really a special place and for almost three years it has been the second home for our dog, Henney. Henney genuinely loved this place and the staff there. He would start barking excitedly whenever I asked him if he wanted to go to daycare, and then in the car on the way to VIPuppy Spa he would start barking uncontrollably whenever he realized that we were arriving soon. Whenever I put him down in the lobby, he always darted from my arms and ran towards the door for the back play area without looking back. This was our weekday routine. The staff there is very friendly and enjoys being with the dogs. They also know each dog well and will setup play groups based on compatibility. I can't say enough good things. Our family is moving to Boston and we are very sad to separate Henney from VIPuppy Spa. Whenever we are in town we will definitely bring Henney by to see his friends there. Thanks for everything and please keep in touch! read more

If you leave your dog, especially for boarding, make sure you call and check in. No cameras. Understaffed. Unhelpful owner. An even more unhelpful and rude owner's daughter. They 'isolate' your dog when they're understaffed and it's gets too overwhelming for them. read more

Brandy started as an unruly pup and is now leaving a well socialized young lady. VIPuppy Spa has been her second home and has taught her so much. She has been truly loved and well taken care of here, it's breaking my heart to leave. I can only hope to find a place as special as this in Florida where we are now moving to. Thank you for being the best doggie daycare I could ask for. read more

Winston doesn't speak words, but his ears perk up when I say VIPup, he drags me in there and when it's time to leave, embarassingly, he plops himself down in the lobby and doesn't budge. Oh yeah, and the people who work there are all angels. read more

The very best place for your dog... such devotion and love - thank you for all that you do for our Dexter.

VIP is my go to for nail clipping. They are always very welcoming, professional and on time. They treat my dog extremely well, beyond thankful to have found them. read more

My dog, a 13.5 year old Wheaten Terrier, was a mess! Due some medical issues he went ungroomed for about six months (he normally is clipped once a month). He was heavily matted and very dirty. The staff at VIPuppy did a marvelous job! He was trimmed close to remove all mats and they shaped his face to look like his old self. He smelled great! LOL they listened to my concerns and were patient with my senior dog. They texted me during the process to let me know he was okay. He wasn't stressed or exhausted after the service as he sometimes is. I will bring him back in a month or so when he's grown out. His coat will be in great shape for winter! Sincere thanks to the patient staff at VIPuppy! read more

In the past I've had a very hard time finding a groomer that could cut my dog's nails. It was close to impossible to be honest. So when I brought Chewie to VIPuppy Spa I was expecting them to take a long time and complain that he didn't let them cut his nails. Well it was the exact opposite... we dropped him off at 1:18pm and he was ready to be picked up at 1:26pm (I double checked lol.) His nails were trimmed and he was in a great mood (he usually comes back from groomers really sleepy and groggy) I was in shock. They did a WONDERFUL job and were so kind. Allie, the receptionist that took Chewie, was helpful and sweet. Overall, I am very pleased with this service. I would 10/10 recommend. Wish it was closer to my house, but for Chewie I'd go 100 miles away. read more

Horrible, horrible experience with this groomer! They were rude and unprofessional. I dropped-off our 8 month old labradoodle puppy at 7:30AM for his appointment and called around noon to check-in and to get a sense for pick-up time. I was abruptly told that there was "no way they could estimate a time for pick-up." They said it would be "very late" because he needed "a ton of work" (even though I brush him every day and bathe him every two weeks). So I asked what time they closed, still trying to get a sense for worst-case scenario pick-up time, and was told that they may have to keep him after hours -- but still couldn't estimate how long after hours. None of this felt right to me, so I went in and took back my dog. We drove straight over to another professional groomer, where I was told that my dog's coat was in EXCELLENT condition. I still do not know why they would be so horrible. ****UPDATE on 2/4 based on owner's response below: This is not a false post. My appointment was on 11/19/15. I did not post my review until January because I was too upset to do so. And the "competitor" I reviewed favorably was Animal Kingdom South, who made special accommodations to take us in that very same day (b/c we really wanted our dog's hair trimmed before going away for the Thanksgiving break.) read more

So appreciative of this staff and facility. They are truly awesome! Simply put, the VIPuppy SPA team will treat your pooch as family. I can give no greater compliment than to have someone treat my animal as family. Claudia is incredibly passionate about every dog that comes through that front door and we all know that teams take their direction from the leader. My most recent experience was incredibly positive. I had a grooming appointment at 9am and ran into a family emergency and they were able to get him in 45 minutes early, gave him a great grooming and had him out in less than an hour. You won't find a more caring service and as quality a service facility as VIPuppy Spa!!! read more

I recently rescued a dog. I started taking her to Vipuppyspa for grooming and day care. I was happy with her first grooming session. She came home really clean and shiny. Then I started using the day care services. It makes my life so much easier! I don't have to stress out about how many hours she's spending home alone. She comes home tired and usually falls asleep in the car. But how do I know that she loves that place? She can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive at the parking lot and speeds up to the door with a tail wagging like I only see when we are there. For a "new mom" that's the best possible thing. I want to make sure she's happy and loves the place. And then I just need to see the pics they post on Instagram... that says it all :) thanks Vipuppyspa for being a second home for Lucy. read more

I have a 6 moth old cavapoo, small dog. Today was his second time there and I can't began to tell you how happy my puppy is. He is a hi energy and hi drive when it comes to people and dogs. He has a wonderful dog walker that loves him but I always feel that just a dog walker is not enough for him. I picked vip because I heard good things about the place the place and I when I drive by the place I always see dogs happily playing outside. The front desk is very helpful answering questions, my dog comes out at the end of the stay very happy and actually wants to go back. For the last 2 days he had been eating better and sleeping better. Dogs need that kind of socialization and vip provides it. Thank you vip for the good work and days for my little pooch read more

We have a one year old Golden Retriever and while working from home during peak COVID, our dog became a bit used to our daily three mile walks. The minute I found out that I would no longer be working from home, I knew I had to find a place for our dog to hang! A co-worker of mine recommended VIPuppy Spa and I am so grateful. We drop our dog off two days a week and it litetally has become our dog's home away from home. Every staff member loves each dog as if they are their own. Love the recap the staff give us after every visit! And the Instagram page? I can't even! :) Never had a bad experience nor will we. Only have been coming here for a few months and I trust this place entirely and have recommended to everyone I know with dogs. Thanks again, guys!! Thank you so much for all you do! So grateful. There literally are not enough words to say how grateful I am to have found this place! It has truly become my dog's home away from home.

Wouldn't bring my dog anywhere else . Great staff and top notch facilities. You always can be sure your dog is treated like one of their own !!! read more

Please do not go by the reviews to make your decision on using this facility. Go in person. Stop in for a tour unannounced. That's what I did and left completely heart broken. My dog has never stepped a paw inside, and never will after what I saw. After you enter the front office (which seems clean and calm) - the first door on the right had cages filled with dogs. This was worse then the animal shelters I've been too! The floor was wet with puddles, there were no lights on, dogs crying, and the smell of feces was unbearable. I couldn't even walk in without my shoes being covered in (not sure what the liquid was all over the floor). The cries of the dogs was very upsetting and the conditions were horrible! This place honestly should be shut down. PLEASE DO A TOUR before dropping your dog off :( !!! read more

I have been bringing my dog here for a few months now and when she started she was only a puppy. They eased her into interactions with other dogs and now she loves it there! My baby has horrible separation anxiety and I can't leave her home alone, so daycare is the perfect solution because I know she will have fun and be taken care of. The staff here is extremely caring and professional! read more
