Update after he stayed there all weekend…read more We couldn't be happier with Bourbon's boarding experience! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He got to play with sprinklers, enjoy one-on-one time with staff, cuddle during story time, and even have chicken and rice for dinner -- talk about VIP treatment! The staff did a wonderful job managing his energy, giving him time-outs when needed, and making sure he felt safe and loved the entire time. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We're so grateful for the love and structure they gave him. Can't recommend them enough! -- Lindsey, proud pup parent of Bourbon

I spoke with Paul the owner on the phone and he patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions. When we arrived Paul conducted our Charlie's on boarding process and he was patient and helpful again. When I called and checked on my Charlie, the staff was pleasant and told me all about the ways they connected with Charlie which made me very happy I picked Woofs and Wags. We all (Charlie included) love and appreciate how Woof and Wags took care of Charlie while we were away. We will definitely use them for Charlie whenever we are away.

Never ever again. Their kennel cleanliness is perhaps non-existent…read more Boarded my guys for 2.5 days and he came back hacking and coughing. Had to take him to the urgent vet clinic and my baby has kennel cough. He received a bath I didn't ask for which has me concerned about the care and observation he received. I've been leery of the spot for some time after a few uses because there is no grass for him to pee or play. I've tried to overlook this, but how? Does he just go on the floor? Or in their kennels? In addition the owner's rude and dismissive disposition leaves much to be desired and much to avoid at all cost. Only because 1 or 2 of the front desk workers are kind do I feel regret for having to write this , but never will I ever subject my baby or myself to that facility. My dog's emergency vet bill, the poor care, and the lackluster customer service from the owner has me sold on never returning. An observation: a reviewer from just few days ago, 14 to be exact, made a similar complaint. Perhaps stop refuting the claim and review and clean a bit better, and treat your patrons like supporters and not the enemy. It's on you. NOT US! ***A lesser me would stand out of the spot warning people to not subject their dogs to that place

Our 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Cassie has been going to Parkwood Pet Resort West (originally…read moreHomewood Pet Resort) regularly since September 2024. This place is amazing. She is there twice a week for daycare, which she absolutely loves because she gets to spend the day playing with her friends. And she has stayed overnight for a week a couple times. They are always happy to see her arrive and she is ecstatic when we arrive there in the morning. The people there are very friendly and true dog lovers. We love the photos that they send us whenever she is there. She is always having so much fun. She is well taken care, loved and extremely happy. Who could ask for more. We are always recommending to folks we run into. This is Cassie's home away from home. Thanks for being there for her. Laurie

My friend left her elderly wiener dog at the resort while she traveled out of the country. I was…read morelisted as the dog's emergency contact because I live locally. While under the resort's care, the dog's condition declined. On the night my friend returned to town, the resort contacted her to say the dog may be ill, but also stated he could wait until the morning for pickup (the originally scheduled date). The message did not convey any urgency. My friend, not wanting to leave her best friend there if he wasn't feeling well, calmly made her way to the resort. At no point were we informed that the dog might need emergency-level care, nor was I ever contacted to come pick him up as the designated emergency contact. When she arrived, the dog was handed to her wrapped in a blanket, which struck her as unusual. He had been ambulatory at drop-off, and we typically did not carry him everywhere. Once home, she realized he couldn't even hold his head up. At that moment, my friend knew he was gravely ill and called me in a panic. We rushed him to VEG, where veterinarians discovered he had severe burns and was dehydrated. He required hospitalization and, ultimately, had to be euthanized. We informed the resort and requested assistance in covering the veterinary bills, but they refused. They never reached out to check on the dog and only learned of his death during court proceedings. I am appalled that I, as the emergency contact, was never called when his condition began to deteriorate. I do not understand why he had burns. I'm not a veterinarian, but if he died of old age, it is heartbreaking to think that he could have spent his final moments with the people he knew and loved--yet we were denied that chance because the resort failed to notify us.

Taking the donations to the MDSPCA, I was able to see just how awesome the staff still is, how clean and organized the kennels are, and just how beautiful the building is. The dogs awaiting adoption were clean and looked comfortable in their cozy kennels with toys, blankets, cots, etc. Of course, I wanted to take them all home with me, but Shadow's my bestest boy and being 13 1/2, he's my one and only for now.

The facility was clean, warm, and welcoming, and it was evident the cats were well cared for--many were in foster homes, which we loved to see. What really stood out to us was how thorough the adoption process was. They carefully vet adopters to ensure the best match for both the pet and the family. We appreciated the thoughtful questions and attention to detail in finding the right fit. Our two kitties had a wonderful foster, who we got to meet, first on a zoom call, then in person on the day of adoption, and we were given all their medical info, plus a solid plan to help them adjust to their new home. It's been lifechanging having them with us, and we're so grateful for the care and dedication of everyone at SPCA Hampden. Thank you for everything!

We are beyond satisfied. Our dogs are much happier and responsive to our commands. Would recommend him and the team to any and everyone!
