We'd taken our 2 1/2 year old mini Australian Labradoodle, Mitzi, to Wagsworth a number of times in the past, both for boarding and doggy day care, so it was a natural choice when we needed to board her for an extended period, due to some human medical issues. Mitzi returned from her 5 week stay in excellent shape, happy to be home but healthy and not stressed at all. The staff at Wagsworth gave her any meds she needed, as requested, and fed her the food we'd provided, since she ha a sensitive stomach. we'd asked that she have daily group playtime and a weekly visit to the swimming pool, which she loves. Our pup came home and immediately fell back into her old routines, as though she'd never been away. Wagsworth really helped all of us. In the past, some dogs have returned from other boarding experiences, at other places, absolutely traumatized but thus was clearly not Mitzi's experience. Thanks, Wagsworth! read more

Our Goldendoodle Holly LOVES coming here. When you mention "Wagsworth" to her; her tail tells it all with the excitement of going there. The Staff is terrific and very caring. I get her groomed here as well and Ms. Holly always come back looking clean and stunning. We have been fortunate to have heard about Wagsworth over 3 yrs ago and Holly will enjoy coming here for many years to come! read more

I have always worried about leaving my dog for long periods of time, but Wagsworth Manor has slowly helped me get over that fear. I sign up for photo e-mails any time my dog, Griffin, stays at the Manor for an extended amount of time. He always looks like he is having the time of his life with his dog buddies and the folks taking care of him during his stay. It is a relief to know that he is in such good hands while I am away. read more

I used the cat boarding service for the first time and was very happy with the experience. The staff is very thorough and accommodating and the boarding area is very clean and quiet as it is in a separate area away from the dog boarding section. They have a huge cat tree and each cat gets to spend time on it throughout their stay. I was happy knowing my cat was well taken care of and safe. read more

we took my GSD Athena to Wagsworth Manor for STAR puppy training and i have to say Davyeda (i probably spelled that wrong, in fact i know i did) the trainer was amazing as well as the rest of the staff. They were kind, compassionate and showed my dog as well as every dog i saw them with nothing but love. They were patient and made sure that we all understood what was going on and what she meant through each session. The first night we went in there my husband had to carry Athena through the doors because she was so scared. By the last night she was playing and held her head high. I am so happy with what we were taught that i plan on taking Athena back for more training as well as my 3 month old GSD Sarika for her STAR puppy training. read more

Grooming services are great! Friendly, professional & when we get our dog back he looks like a different dog (in a good way)

We've been very pleased with the care our puppy has received. The staff has also been very patient and accommodating.

Wagsworth did not notify us that our dog needed a shot before her assessment. We drove an hour for the appointment to be turned away. They can't even say who supposedly told us about the missing immunization. Don't waste your time. read more

Rambo got groomed yesterday and they did a terrific job. He is an English bulldog and sheds alot. He was groomed meticulously. His hair was so soft, nails cut perfectly, and he was so happy. He also does daycare once a week and is a very happy one year old after a day with Wagsworth. read more

My dog is 14 months old now and I began bringing him to daycare at Wagsworth when he was 5 months old for socialization. Since he was about 5 months old he has been extremely anxious with new people and will not let anyone approach him. He took to Wagsworth immediately and loves going. It has definitely helped him with his fear of strangers. He has also been boarded there a total of three times with perfect outcomes, and I have used their grooming services and highly recommend. The staff is always friendly, helpful and on the ball. Thank You!! read more

Services are good, pricing is aggressive and unforgiving. For example, one day we were late to pick up our dog. Yes, that's my fault. However, we've been going there for years and have spent tens of thousands of dollars there and hadn't ever been late. There were still employees there, and it was about 30 minutes past closing. Instead of saying "we'll be here for another x minutes, if you are able to swing by by then" and giving me a pass, I am told I will be charged $100 for being late. That might make sense if holding him overnight would be $300, but the kicker is that it only cost $70 to keep my dog there overnight for another 14 hours! Another time, we somehow didn't know we had to individually bag our dogs food--for each meal--for boarding and they wanted to charge us some unreasonable about of money for the labor involved for them to just scoop out a 1/2 cup per meal. An acquaintance of ours warned us they stopped going here for things like this, and while we will still consider Wagsworth because the services and staff themselves are good, it is now low on our list for boarding, because of the hassle of dealing with unreasonably, if not downright outrageously, aggressive fees and penalties. I've just gotten the general sense over the years that management couldn't care less if you are a loyal customer and is more concerned about finding any possible reason to charge you out the nose for something, even if it risks you not coming back. There are just too many other options out there in this area, including Rover.com, that are less rigid and more willing to work to have and keep your business, for us to continue to have experiences like this with Wagsworth. Overall, there are some good things here and some bad things. You get good services, but don't be surprised if they try to bleed you dry for unreasonable things you didn't think you'd have to pay for. I'd probably give 3.5 stars, if Yelp would let me. read more

Our dog Cooper loves staying at Wagsworth. He doesn't hesitate to jump in the car when told he will be staying there! He follows our previous 2 dogs who also were cared for at Wagworth.

Our 19 month old GoldenDoodle Holly LOVES this place. We started bring her here 4 months ago and her ears perk up when we mention "Wagsworth". My husband and I had a tour of the facility last week because we are going to board her for a few days.

We left our 6 month old puppy with Wagsworth Manor Pet Resort for 13 days. We paid for a bath but we decided to pick her up 1 hour early. With that said she smelled of urine and had dried stickiness all over her. Also we paid for 15 minutes cuddles each night. A person name Erin called me asking me how I felt about their services and I explained to her what happened and she got rude and basically hung up on me. I only gave 1 star because Yelp wouldn't let me post until I pick a star. read more

My dog Jake has been coming to Wagsworth Day Care for 3 years! Jake absolutely loves dog paradise. His tail does not stop wagging the moment we pull in to the parking lot. I can't praise the wonderful staff enough for his care. read more

Truly impressed by the staff and the facility. This was our puppy's first time away from home, so we called the next morning to see how she did. The staff gave us such a reassuring report of the past day's activities that we didn't even check up on her until we picked her up four days later. We met one of the owners, Brad, who offered us a tour of the building and grounds, and we were amazed. For a facility to be near capacity for boarding and day camps, it was so immaculate and smelled so fresh. We were glad that the dogs were grouped and housed size, which made us feel more comfortable about their play time together. It's no surprise that Wagsworth Manor has earned so many rewards. They truly deserve it! Thank you for taking such good care of our little one! read more

I always take my beloved black-furred Chow Chow Leo to Wagsworth for grooming. He's the definition of a difficult case--but they always do a fantastic job.

Perfect perfect location to leave your furry friends at ! I have left my maltese Snoopy several times now and he is so well taken care of by the staff! He swam for the first time , is making friends, becoming more sociable with other dogs and he absolutely can't wait to go. Before it was a pain to see him going into a pet resort for a stay or day care. Now he loves it, wags his tails and can't wait for more. He gets home tired and ready to cuddle!! Highly highly recommend it! The staff is superb ! read more

Great grooming experience. Our Golden Retriever was groomed today and came out looking beautiful!

We'd give zero stars if it was an option. When we walked in to pick him up, the place SMELLED AWFUL, as if it hadn't been cleaned in days. We had our pup here for one night and I feel like we paid $70 to have him neglected. He has a fear of water so we opted out of the bath, which additionally would have cost more money...when we picked him up, he had pee VERY noticeably all over his leg - his fur is white, you couldn't miss it if you have any sense. There was no acknowledgement of this by staff; they employee almost seemed annoyed that he was excited to see us when she brought him out as he was pulling on his leash. I'm thinking now he may have also been so excited to see us because they clearly neglected him throughout his stay. He was SO DEHYDRATED. He's never had a dry nose and all the sudden we pick him up and his nose is incredibly dry. I'm not sure they gave him any water. As soon as we walked outside he started licking the ground which had a little bit of water on it as it recently rained. He's never done that before. He was literally crying for water. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I don't think they truly care for animals, simply see it as a way to make money. read more

What a lovely establishment. Our little Francis did so well for his first time at camp. We loved the daily photos! It was honestly something we looked forward to everyday. We were hesitant about leaving our pup for the first time but he seemed to have a ball. I was not sure how he would do with other dogs but he seemed to have acclimated well. He did come home with a little raspy voice, prob from barking at all his new friends haha. We loved that he got some training sessions in and had some time in the baby pool. Wags came highly recommended and now we see why. He can't wait to go back in August to see his buddies and the paparazzi! read more

I've been a decade long customer of GV Pet Hotel/Wagsworth until a recent, very poor experience. Checkout has always been challenging due to all the recent hires they seem to have at both sites...30 minutes every time. I had a week and a half trip planned with a narrow window for pick up on return before I had to get to work. To try and expedite the process at pick-up, I decided to prepare an estimate in advance in case the checkout person was having difficulty with inputs (which dogs share a stall, what day they arrived, what size they are, which dogs are yours, etc). Wagsworth had been honoring GV's pricing since GV is closed indefinitely. As I was preparing my spreadsheet, I noticed on my June invoice that they had my 17 pound dog listed in the 20-40 pound category so I called them the morning of my departure to ask about the GV prices for dogs under 20 vs over and to mention that one of my dogs was under 20 pounds. We went through the rates same as June except under 20 $2 less. I also emailed them the estimate before I dropped the dogs off asking for review and any corrections but was told at check in that no one at Wagsworth has access to the GV email account except one person who wasn't there. When I arrived at pick-up the invoice was $510 more than I had estimated. I was told that the GV rates were updated with a "nominal" increase in July and that an email was sent out. I didn't receive an email but did note in the customer portal that the daycare rates went up by ~$2, truly a nominal increase. My increase was 31% in total, hardly nominal (the 20-40 pound boarding rate as one line item example went from $38 to $50 per night), and more importantly, I had specifically reviewed the rates over the phone the day I left. I paid the bill and left but was bothered by the lack of transparency and ethics of this transaction and emailed Wagsworth to request a call with one of the owners. I was told that their Director, also an owner, would call me. She did not. I'm left to assume that the significant pricing change was their "don't come back" special. If you are boarding there, I suggest requesting a written estimate at drop off since they are also not currently posting their prices for boarding on their website or in the customer portal. read more
