My two children (7 and 9 years old) and I had the most special and unique pet sitting experience ever! We’ve had exposure to a great variety of well-looked after and lovely pets. We’ve learned so much, especially about birds. We’ve had great instructions and could always contact Hayley for reassurance. The house was wonderful and in a fantastic location, there was so much to see and do. We fell on love especially with the two female dogs Amber and Negan, who are just the sweetest and cuddliest dogs we’ve ever met. We also had fresh eggs from the chicken every day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can only recommend!
Every reviewer was right when they said the kitties are escape artists. They are really fun, but will pounce on the slightest door opening. They are also great cuddlers. Socks is a very old man and an early riser. He's a great dog if you are familiar with all the demands of a senior dog. Daryl was great with communication and her bed was amazingly comfortable.

My pup had her first ever day at day care today and I’m not sure she could have been happier (please see the attached first day photos)! When I walked in to pick her up, it was a different set of workers from when I dropped her off, but when I said my pups name they immediately said, “oh she is so precious …” so I thought it was sweet that they knew exactly who she was! They were so kind and understanding about her being a little anxious for her first day, and told me about how they’ll let her hang out by herself to get used to the sounds and smells, and slowly introduce more dogs one by one until she’s warmed up to the pack. I was also surprised by how inexpensive it is! We immediately did the new camper special and can’t wait to go back!
I love Camp Bow Wow and most importantly so does my dog. Indoor area as well as outdoor area divided up by ages and sizes good hours good staff good place. Most importantly when he gets home he's pooped!
Friendly and enthusiastic staff. We love the all in one pricing that includes all day play in day care when boarding our pup. And of course the app and cameras! Being able to sneak a peak at all the fun is comforting while we are away.
My son has taken his dog here for a very long time. I never had been there until yesterday. Very nice place now I know why his dog, Obie loves going there so much. Nice to know that he is taken very good care of! He is a very special dog to all of us, including"Grandma"
We’ve been bringing our dog to day camp at the grandview location for a little over two years and check in on the live cams. The last few times she went, we haven’t been impressed with her experience. First off, this location is always booked up/full so you’re lucky if there’s availability just for a half day. When we can finally get her in, there’s way too many large dogs crammed into such a small space and there’s no room for the dogs to run around and play whatsoever. We’ve noticed other “play areas” are completely empty at those times so why are the areas not opened up to give the dogs more space? The whole point in bringing our dog to day camp (and I’m sure it’s the same reason for other owners) is so she can get out of the house and burn some energy, play, etc. The next issue we’ve had is that our dog is scared / doesn’t know how to go through the curtain panels to the outdoor area, so in the 6 hours she’s there she’s not able to go potty. Every time we pick her up she runs outside and practically pees on the sidewalk. We’ve asked twice that one of the workers could show her how to go through the curtains or kind of walk her through them (since owners aren’t allowed in the area). We watched the live cams those times we asked and that did not happen. The people who work there are always very friendly toward us and our dog, but we’re a bit disappointed in the last few experiences.
I am very impressed with how the staff really gets know dogs personalities and cares for them!
Our pup comes home tired after an amazing day here! Watching him have fun and making friends here is the best! Thanks for taking amazing care of our Pup! ❤️
I have used CBW multiple times and always had a happy dog at the end of a stay! Love seen by my dog on the webcams. The one time there was a questionable interaction between dogs the manager called me and was very transparent and apologetic. I’ve never second guessed having a trustworthy place to board my dog!
My girls love coming to camp! I like that I can check on them through the pup-cams during the day and they come home happy and tired! We have them bathed regularly at camp as well and the shampoo they use smells great. Kathy, the manager, was so accommodating when I needed to plan to bring the girls at an unknown date around the birth of our child also. The only thing I would love to add to their experience at camp is camera options for the overnight facilities and dog beds or raised cots for the play areas. One of our girls is a giant breed and approaching her geriatric years and we worry that so many hours standing on concrete without the option of a comfy bed will force us to limit her camp days soon. Overall, I trust the staff and have enjoyed our time at Camp Bow Wow Grandview.
My dogs love camping at Camp Bow Wow and I love the fact that the staff is very thorough - ensuring that my dogs are safe and happy during their stay. The cameras located throughout the facility also provide extra peace of mind while we watch our dogs having fun with other dogs and enjoying their stay. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow for your furry family members.
Jeanette watched my 17 year old cat for 5 days recently. 2x a day w/ medicine in a pill pocket. I am so pleased with the care and love given to my old girl during my absence. I received thorough descriptions, pictures and videos during each of these visits. Jeanette even brought wet cat food treats for her to try when I mentioned she wasn’t enjoying her current wet food, which she loved. The entire experience was so easy and comforting while I was away and would recommend Jeanette and her team to ANYONE looking for any care for their furry companions. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful and I would utilize her services again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything Jeanette!
Jeanette did a wonderful job the few times I had her care for my cat. Within only two visits she was able to coax my stranger-wary cat out from under the bed for pets and playtime. Communication was frequent and I received several cute pictures each day I was gone. If I ever move back to the Columbus area, I would book through Fur Star again in an instant!
I used Fur Star Pet Care for the first time last week when I went on vacation. I was nervous because my cat had never been left alone for an extended amount of time - I was gone almost 9 days. Jeanette provided excellent care for my cat, who tends to be particular about what kind of food she eats. Jeanette was patient and even experimented with combining two flavors of food together. Every day I got a detailed message about how she was doing, including multiple photos (I don't know how she takes such great photos, but what a talent!), how the "bathroom" was going (absolutely no issues there), and what progress had been made with my cat's level of comfort with her. By the end of the week, my cat was purring, playing a little, and eating fine, both regular food and treats. Jeanette also brought in my mail for me which I really appreciated and turned my living room lights on and off since I had lost my light timer. Also, the rates are very reasonable for the service provided. I can't say enough good things about Jeanette and Fur Star. What great service and I will most certainly use them again!
Fur Star Pet Care is a fantastic pet sitting service that I’ve been using for a few years for my cats. Jeanette is a wonderful sitter who genuinely cares about the cats. She sends several pictures every day she visits and provides very thorough updates. She has gone above and beyond for me many times when problems come up. For example, she has helped the cats stay warm when my heat went out and attempted to fix my sink when she noticed it was clogged. I can’t say enough great things about Jeanette and her business. I highly recommend her service if you are looking for a pet sitter
Jeanette has been taking care of our two cats whenever we go away since we moved to Columbus a year and a half ago. She has come to feed and play with them many times (including during one long research trip), and they absolutely love her. We have used lots of pet sitters in the past, and Jeanette is by far the best person we’ve worked with. We always come home to a clean apartment, watered plants, collected mail and packages, and, most importantly, happy cats. 100% recommend.
Absolutely the BEST in-home pet care you can get! I've had them come in to take care of my cat a few times while I've been traveling, and they do an amazing job of making sure my little girl has everything she needs, and then some! Daily updates, pictures of playtime and snugs, even an extra treat or two! I cannot give enough praise to Fur Star!
Fabulous pet sitting service. Jeanette is absolutely wonderful. I travel in peace knowing she is watching my little fur ball while I’m away. I have an older cat who has experienced some health issues, but Jeanette and Fur Star take great care of him. Love that I get daily updates and photos.
Jeanette has taken care of our two cats for three years. They have truly developed a special relationship, and I always feel confident that they will be well taken care of when we leave town for a couple of days or even weeks. Jeanette knows their personalities and treats them with great kindness. Recently when my wife and I had our first baby, Jeanette made sure to be available around the unpredictability of the event, and we knew we would find two happy cats to greet our new baby. And, we love getting the updates and pictures twice a day!
I love Fur Star! I have 2 cats (1 with diabetes who requires insulin injections) and they take great care of them when I’m away. Each visit is documented (including with pictures) and they update you on everything they do during the visit. The website is really easy to use to book appointments and to communicate with the owner, Jeanette (who is awesome!), if any questions come up. If you are looking for a pet sitter, Fur Star is wonderful and I highly recommend them!
Finding Fur Star to care for our cats has changed our lives - I know that sounds hyperbolic but it's true. The values that these ladies have when it comes to pet care is remarkable. They truly treat our animals as if they were their own! Directions are followed without fail and they always find ways to go over and above. I never would have thought I'd find peace leaving my animals to anyone outside of family but I have! Their sense of humor in the photo updates they give is such a fun sprinkle on top of already amazing pet care. Love them to pieces!
Pablo’s Pals is fantastic. They are professional, compassionate and extremely attentive. When we go away and have to leave our precious cat we do not have anxiety. They are detailed oriented and deeply caring. We cannot say enough about this amazing company! Excellent, truly exceptional!
We love Pablo’s Pals! Susan and her entire team are fantastic. My pup Bandit looked forward to his weekly walks. Scheduling is a breeze and Susan was always responsive and helpful with last minute requests. All the walkers/carers are friendly and give you updates and photos post visits. The photos were fantastic and I’ve framed a few! John was our main walker and Bandit would be so excited anytime I said their name. Sadly we moved out of the area, but if we ever move back we will be calling the team back! 🐾
Pablo’s is fantastic! We have been using them for over four years and they are completely reliable; they have never missed a scheduled visit. They take care of our dogs when we go on vacations, often a week or longer. They have also been available to watch the pets for spur of the moment activities. We have two dogs and two cats, and they love Susan, Andrea, and Tristina. One of our dogs has a fear of men and they go out of their way to accommodate his needs. They keep us up to date on the pets with photos and notes for each visit, which is really nice. They will also water plants, bring in mail and packages, and they let us know if there are any issues with the house.
Susan from Pablo's Pals is just great with our big pit-mix Toby He absolutely loved her. He was so happy to see her every day. We highly r her services.
Susan and her team are so wonderful! My dogs love every walk, and I’m so happy that they’re getting exercise and love while I’m at work. I also love getting a picture after each walk! I can’t recommend them enough!
I’ve been really happy with Pablo’s Pals since I started working with Susan and co a few years ago. I feel like my dog is truly cared for and well looked-after….he has a great time too! Highly recommend if you are looking for pet care (walking, boarding, etc) in Columbus, OH.
For six years, Pablo's Pals has provided me with excellent home care for my pit bull Samantha, whenever I've left town. The service sends emails confirming that every visit has occurred, along with frequent photos as proof that my pet remains alive and happy, which allows me to enjoy vacations worry-free. Susan and Pablo's other pals do care deeply about the welfare of animals, and in emergencies, have moved heaven and earth to make sure that Samantha the Pibble was well-cared for. I highly recommend this service.
Susan and her team are absolutely incredible. We have benefitted from her services for 4 years and can't praise them enough for the care they provide! The team is caring, attentive, professional, and really focuses on the safety of your pet. They go above and beyond with updates, recommendations, and quality of care. Highly recommend if you want top notch care for your pet!
Pablo's Pals is the absolute best! We started with them when our dog was just a few months old. They have gone above and beyond to care for our dog! Not only with his daily walks and routine but getting to know our dog and helping us with our questions and concerns as first-time dog owners. We love and trust Pablo's and are so thankful for the dedicated staff! Our dog loves every team member and looks forward to his daily walks.
I trust Pablo’s Pals 100% with my dog and coming into my home. They care for my dog as if she were their own and the scheduling is super accommodating for my unusual schedule. The boarding is also a wonderful and welcome alternative to a kennel. I fully recommend their services for your pet and I try to tell everyone I know about them! Since using them I have had peace of mind whenever my dog is in their care.
I love Canine Social Club! Everyone on the staff there is so friendly and welcoming. My dog used to go a few times a week for daycare, but now that I work from home he doesn’t go as often… but when I say “do you wanna go see Cassi?” he still jumps with excitement, six years in. I feel safe boarding him when I leave town knowing the CSC team will take good care of him and love on him, too. Pictured: my dog standing on the center console of my car, barely able to contain his excitement as we pull into the parking lot. 😍
They scruff the dogs, they constantly scream at them to shut up, and will get in their face to do so. Contrary to what you see when you're in the building dropping off or picking up, they are not very kind to the your pups most of the time. Also they are very lax with spraying bleach on the floor around the dogs.
Update My Siberian husky Meeko has gone to canine for over a decade! He was always well cared for during his 1-2 day stays or even his week plus stays. They are fairly priced and truly go above and beyond. Rest assured they will take care of your furry friend. Clean facilities, and my favorite part, thanks to daycare, Meeko always came home tired for a day or two before the zoomies reactivate. Thank you for the wonderful years canine social club! 9 years ago: My Siberian husky is well cared for and enjoys his stay every time. He's exhausted when he gets home from all of he playing!
My pup and I LOVE Canine Social Club! They have always taken great care of her when she’s needed to stay overnight and the daycare is great too. My doggo can be quite a handful and they make sure she is paired up with equally energetic friends. I have had to leave her a couple times for two week trips and they post pictures and stay in touch to let me know how she is doing. The prices are very reasonable, the hours and location are convenient, and the staff is excellent. TWO PAWS AND THUMBS WAY UP! 🙌🏻🐾
Love Canine Social Club and the staff is fantastic! The facility is kept clean and my dog always leaves happy. The staff let me know how my dog's day was and they are always excited to see my dog when we arrive in the morning. I feel like he is in great hands when when he goes here!
Canine Social Club is the best! I have been taking my dog there for a couple years now and I know she is always so excited to go back. Cassandra and the whole staff are so friendly and really care about the dogs. My pup got sick while being their last week and I couldn't come pick her up until the next day. Cassandra gave me update phone calls about how she was doing and even told me she would personally take my dog to the vet if it came to that. She even called me the next week to check on how my dog was doing! It is so nice knowing my dog is in such good hands while ay Canine Social Club.
I have been taking my small dog here for about a year. She absolutely loves it! We recently just increased her visits from once a week to three times a week. She get so excited in the morning when I get out her leash and say "do you want to go to doggie daycare?" Each morning she runs in the door with her tail wagging furiously and can't wait to get in to see her doggie friends at Canine Social Club. The staff know her well and always update me on how her day went. My dog is very happy there and I am very happy with their service. My dog and I give Canine Social Club 5 stars!!!
Canine Social Club is absolutely amazing!!!! They took the best care of my furbaby for a couple of months while we were looking for a new home out of state! They have always treated him like family during his stay there, and he comes home a happy and tired doggo every time! Azure misses his second family so much! If you are in the Columbus area I highly recommend canine social club!!!
We've been bringing out dogs here for 2 years now; aside from posting your puppies on their Facebook page daily, the staff is consistent, professional and love the pups! We get dragged in by our boys when they realize where they are and even love the overnights which include a free day of play and daycare the next day! Even when we moved from grandview, we've continued to give Canine Social Club our business. Can't recommend enough!
We have a puppy and an older dog (over 8 yrs) that both love going to "doggy daycare" twice a week (including Saturday). It's really helped our puppy learn how to behave around other dogs and around people, and has stopped his tendency to chew furniture (boredom). This pup has gone from being too scared to be around more than one other dog to trying to jump out the car window when we pull up to the Club, and the patient and wonderful staff are to thank for that. Our older dog, a "special needs" rescue from a hoarding case, enjoys being around other animals again and has no fear of people anymore because the staff at Canine Social Club are so caring and awesome. They recognize each dog's unique personality and needs, and we are grateful for that.
LOVE LOVE LOVE, my boy Finn gets so excited everytime I mention daycare, the staff go above and beyond for these pupps and it shows. I’ll be honest at first I was VERY hesitant about leaving my boy with someone else, especially for 8 hours, but the staff went above and beyond to make me be at ease. I was given a tour of the facilities and where Finn would be, he is in the smalls pen because of his size, but did mention as he got more confident and larger they would switch him over to the larger play area with larger dogs. ALSO, they have an Instagram where they will post various pictures and videos of almost all the dogs throughout the day!! They give daily report cards for each puppy with multiple pictures throughout the day, and even write down what your dog did throughout the day… my favorite is when they said he was apart of the choir class with his barking, lol Overall I recommend Barks & Rec to everyone I know who asks about daycare, and they are reasonably priced, especially when you buy packages!
Our little man always has a great time at daycare and his grooming appointments! The staff are awesome, they’re always friendly and have clearly formed a friendship with Stanley. We get him groomed here as well and considering it includes daycare for free, it’s a great value and the care is top notch. We love getting the report cards and pictures from each day, we’ll never go anywhere else for daycare, boarding, or grooming!
We found Barks & Rec because we needed boarding for our girl, Nala. They have a variety of options to choose from to ensure your pup has the best experience possible. Part of the boarding option we chose included daycare. Heather and the other staff asked questions about Nala to understand her specific needs. Since we are back from our trip, we have done daycare and Nala loves it (as you can see!). I highly recommend Barks & Rec! They are top notch business that cares for their staff as well as their clients.
Our puppy has been going here for more than a year now and absolutely adores this place! He is always super excited when we drop him off and loves all the people who work here, who are all so wonderful. We love this business and would highly recommend it to everyone as they are so great to work with and treat our puppy like their very own..
My dog has been going to daycare almost weekly since August and she loves it! Every report card I get from daycare has at least one picture of her smiling 😂 The staff are all very friendly and take good care of the pups! On my first day they even gave me a tour of the facilities before I left. The facility is beautiful, clean, and well managed! My dog had a little incident while I was boarding her, even though I was out of town Leanna made sure to keep me updated and took care of everything. I highly recommend Barks and Rec!
My dog LOVES Barks and Rec, and so do I. Every time we pull into the parking lot, my dog goes nuts and cannot wait to get inside! All of the staff members are incredibly caring and friendly and make sure all the dogs get pets and lovin'. They are fairly priced and my dog has never had a bad day there. I wish every place were as good as B&R - they are truly the best out there!
Barks and rec is great. Location is super clean and well run. Staff and welcoming and friendly. Pup loved his time making new friends
As an employee here, I'm a bit biased, but admittedly I'm also a customer, so I'll still make the post nonetheless! The team here is full of exceptional people and personalities who love and care for the dogs. The boarding is affordable, and the dogs get all the attention they need. Daycare is a blast, and I occasionally bring my youngest dog with me to play with all her pals. Keeley, our groomer, is something of a miracle worker - and I highly recommend her for any breed. Overall, this place is the only place I ever intend to have take care of my dogs.
Great crew and pack! Grey loves going to "boarding school" (boarding w/ daycare). The daycare and boarding/daycare packages offer a phenomenal value. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. They also provide a "report card" that includes photos of my pup, and sometimes they even feature him on their Facebook story (yes - he's famous now). Also, Barks & Rec - Columbus creates and supports job and career opportunities for moms & folks with disabilities. We love this place! ❤️❤️❤️
Darcy LOVES going to daycare at Barks and Rec. The staff is so friendly and good to our pup. It is so reasonably priced, it was a no brainer for us to start taking her there. Customer service is excellent and they clearly treat her well there because she bounces off the wall with happy excitement when we tell her she gets to go play with her friends at daycare.
Allowed me to board my dog (8days) at the very last minute! First time ever boarding my dog as he has separation anxiety so i definitely was nervous at first but after meeting Stacia i immediately felt relieved. I received updates & picture multiple times throughout the day & my fur baby had so much fun! Permanent Customer!! Thank you so much for taking care of him just as if he was yours!
Stacia was awesome with our pup! This was our first time doing Rover, so I was nervous about leaving Emmett with someone I found online but Stacia made me feel better as soon as we dropped him off and seeing how much she loves animals. She sent update videos/pics every day, so I felt good about everything the whole time! Emmett had a blast and we will definitely use her in the future!
Stacia was extremely attentive and loving to our pup. She sent pictures often and let us know how he was doing each day. We will definitely use her services again!
She was very understanding and helpful with our four pups! 12/10 recommended loved Stacia’s services and her love for animals We are sure to use her services again!!
Stacia was great with our dog’s,she kept us updated…
Great services our guest and play pals love it here!
Very detailed and easy going
Absolutely LOVE All Paws Retreat. I moved to Columbus & have 2 dogs and no where I looked provided the services or had the community that All Paws Retreat has. Alec met my dogs for the first time and they instantly loved him & I was so comfortable leaving them there. They all treat my boys like their own every single time & update me on every thing. One of my dogs has a sensitive stomach & they keep an eye on that for me & let me know as soon as they know if he’s going through one of his spells. Since my dogs are psycho they even help me get them in and out of my car without hesitation, or me having to ask. Tara, the trainer, trains my basset hound & sends videos and updates of his progress. The employees are always so so nice & know my dogs’ names as soon as they walk in, and my dogs love them all ❤️ I will never go anywhere else with my dogs.
Thank you All Paw Retreat for taking such great care of our fur babies! We loved being able to see them playing with their furry friends on the video cameras. Our little ones were worn out from their overnight stay, but the staff was so friendly and kept us in the loop on how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving our pups in their care. And to top it off, we even received pictures and report cards 😄 of them during their stay and grooming. We will definitely be bringing our pups back to All Paw Retreat and highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you for everything!
First time in for spa services. I’ve tried for years to be consistent with at home nail trims but I finally decided to leave it to pros. The online process takes a minute but now they have all the info on my two terriers which makes me feel confident that they truly want my dogs to be safe and happy! We went for nail trims and sanitary cuts and were in and out in 10 minutes and the dogs were not stressed at all. Even picked up their favorite Nylabone chews which was a bonus! We will be regulars from here out
They did such an amazing job on my little rescue dog! He was in desperate need of a grooming after he was found wandering the streets. So happy with the results. I would definitely recommend this place! They took great care of him and they were able to fit us in!
All Paws is everything I wanted in a daycare for my dog Evie. This is my first time taking a pup of mine to daycare and i was so hesitant and nervous at first. But after going the first day, I will never go anywhere else. The staff was so kind and understanding about my worries (my girl is a clumsy tripod and i was worried about other dogs being too rough and jumping on her) and they fit her with the perfect play group. I love being able to see what she is doing and I love the photos the staff takes of her, they are always so cute and silly. The price is affordable and they also offer so many add ons to give your pup one on one time and offer fun activities. Right when i walk in, they remember Evie and always give her the best welcome. Highly recommend!
My family can’t speak highly enough of All Paws. Our dog is silly and adorable, but also mischievous, and at times stubborn and moody. We didn’t think he could fit in anywhere after a negative experience with another daycare. When we brought him to All Paws they welcomed him with open arms and found him a friend group he thrives with. I knew they were special when we got a text on vacation that our boy was having a rough day and being removed from play group. We were afraid it was a repeat of his last experience until we received photos of him enjoying one-on-one enrichment time with the staff and getting absolutely loved on. They know each dog’s strengths and weaknesses and find a way to meet them where they are at each day. His “rough days” are few and far between after training with Tara who made an incredible difference in his behavior at daycare and at home. He lights up when it’s time to go “see his friends” at All Paws and we couldn’t ask for anything else.
All Paws truly is a second family for my dogs. We have been taking them there for 4+ years, and get as excited for "daycare" as they do for "walks"! Their facilities are top notch, their rates for boarding and daycare are fair, you can watch your dogs on livestream, get the best daycare photos, and you cannot beat the staff. They made a point to get to know my dogs as well as I know them, and truly treat them as their own. If you are looking for a top notch team to give your dog the same love you do, look no further than the team at All Paws!
I have 2 needy pups that don't particularly love daycare, but it is inevitable some times. Today was their intro day at All Paws, prior to the dogs entering a play group we met with the manager, Alec. After discussing my pups behaviors and spending some time with my dogs, he decided which group would be best for them. He was very infomative regarding how the daycare runs and offered reassurance about managing my pups (and my) anxieties. He updated me by text about halfway through their day and gave me more info when I arrived to pick them up. At pick up, they gifted us a cutie little bag with their picture and a ball/treats! The customer service/marketing appears to be top notch. My only concerns are the play group my babies were placed in does not have an outdoor potty area or potty breaks. Which means they just poop and pee as they please in their play area. My youngest puppy tends to have accidents after extended stays when he isn't offered potty breaks. They also informed me they only provide 1 staff for up to 35 "tea cup" dogs. While my babies did just fine today, I know they would prefer more human interaction during longer stays. At this point, All Paws appears to be a fantastic option for doggy daycare.
We have been taking the girls here since they were pups. From training, daycare, to grooming… All Paws is great! You can tell they genuinely care about all of the dogs there. Our girls get so excited every time we go there!
I took my puppy for his first day of daycare today and he had a BLAST. Alec was so welcoming and informative and i definitely felt like I could trust them with my pet. I also love that there are webcams where I can watch my pup play; and they also take pictures during the day! Already made my reservation for tomorrow! — Updating this because I just picked up the happiest pup from daycare. We have been coming weekly since Feb and Moscow adores it there, to the point he sits and whines at the door if anyone accidentally says daycare instead of spelling it out. We go for grooming, daycare, and boarding and they truly are the best. No matter what here’s there for, I feel so comfortable leaving him in their care, and I know they love on him like their own. Also, obsessed with the daily pictures, whoever takes them, know that you make my day every single day. Can’t say enough good things or recommend enough!!!! Adding pic from his first day of daycare and one from today (and maybe crying over how much he’s grown) !
I've sent 3 dogs to Homedog regularly since moving to Columbus and consistently been impressed. They've handled two energetic Vizslas and a shy rescue with the type of care that only comes from a staff who LOVE dogs. As an added benefit, I get to enjoy evenings after work with a tired, velcro Vizsla!
While Charlie had some experience boarding with his old owners, this was the first time I’ve had to board him. He’s definitely the nervous type, and they did such a great job with him! I’m also apparently the nervous type, but Homedog did a wonderful job fielding my questions up to and during Charlie’s stay. It put my mind at ease to be able to check in on pet cams and see that my boy was okay. Though I live out of town, I will definitely use them if I bring Charlie down when visiting family!
My dog Galaxy has been going to Homedog’s for 5 years. I have so many wonderful things to say about the owner, staff, trainers, facility, and training opportunities, but I’ll focus on one for this review. My dog and our family has greatly benefited from Homedog’s philosophy of meeting each dog where they are, working on training while also maximizing the environment to help dogs be successful in it. One of the trainers even Zoomed in to one of my dog’s Vet appointments to more fully collaborate on his care. That is some serious dedication to their Homies! We love Homedog’s and are so grateful for their incredible staff.
Working at Homedog Resort was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The owner and staff genuinely care about every pet that walks through the door, going above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease. The attention to detail, compassion, and dedication to each animal’s wellbeing is incredible. They treat each dog like family!!! As someone who worked closely with the team for 2 years, I can confidently say that Homedog Resort prioritizes the health, safety, and happiness of every dog in their care. Whether it's calming a nervous pup or providing endless playtime for an energetic one, the team does it all with love and professionalism. If you're looking for a place where your dog will feel at home, I couldn't recommend Homedog Resort more highly, both as a former employee and a dog lover!
My pup, a GSD, loves this place. Be it for boarding or daycare, he is never hesitant to go. He has developed wonderful relationships with the trainers. Other than being with his “parents”, this is his favorite place to be.
Homedog Resort is top dog! Lame cliche but yes, it’s true. We brought our neurotic but loving rescue hound mix to them and they worked their magic making him feel comfortable and happy. They offer Big Dog and Small Dog Play and the boarding is SO nice. I always have guilt thinking of my dog crates in a lonely weird place while I’m on vacation but not here. They have private actual rooms for the dogs. You can board your own fur babies together if you wish and they use rooms according to dog size and number. They’re open on weekends letting the dogs play and feel some normalcy away from home. They are organized and efficient and the staff is great with the animals. We have our vet out of state and they worked with us for proof of vaccinations etc to make sure our pupper, and all the other dogs are safe. They have a live cam to watch your dog as well. I love it here!! We won’t be back in until August but I can’t wait for my dog to go back and have a great time again!
My dog was attending Homedog's puppy school since he was 5 months old and he recently graduated then transitioned to open play when he turned 8 months old. He goes twice a week and he loves it! I'm glad he's more dog savy because of it. Greg, the owner, does all the training and he's very knowledgeable. There are courses you can enroll your dog into to get them even better trained. My American Bulldog mix puppy has been through one already and he's enrolled into yet another. Each course is affordable about $30 each plus you get a discount if your a member. Rates have recently gone up for open play to $28 a visit for twice a week or $224 a month for a recurring subscription. It's a good experience overall but 4 stars because their administrative abilities lack at times. You have to pay attention with the subscription when an extra week occurs within the month because you've got to add it in since the subscription is for 4 weeks at a time. Also they lose track of paperwork often. I think an inner office manager would do them some good. I've learned to trust them but can't understand why they don't seem to understand that that's a learned thing and not a given. Still the best dog daycare in town in my opinion.
Love them. They are so great with all the dogs and quick corrections. My dog only goes once a week but that little bit of time and exposure to a pack has made him a better behaved dog at parks and on walks etc. Recommend highly!
My dog and I love Homedog and all the homies! My dog is a rescue and has improved so much from her time at Homedog. We love daycare and the private trainings are tailored and flexible for our specific needs. The entire staff has been great with both of us. My dog and I have learned and grown so much. I am so grateful I found this place. I would highly recommend Homedog!
Great place to take your dog for daycare and(or) boarding. I have been using HD services for over 2 years and haven’t experienced any issues. My dog attends daycare a couple times a week and absolutely loves it. Have also used boarding and training services 💯. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great location, offers a variety of services 🐾🐾
Rob is wonderful! He befriended our super timid cat by his second visit, and he provided us with frequent photos, updates, and details on how his visits were going. We were away for 2 weeks, and Rob made sure Earl was well looked after the entire time. I would highly recommend Capital City Pet Sitters!
Highly recommend capital city pet sitters! Very professional and did an excellent job caring for our cats while on vacation. We felt so at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Exceptional communication and service! Will be booking again for future vacations :)
We were out of town for 9 days and do not like using a kennel. We hired Rob to take care of our 2 poodle mixes. He did a great job! Kept us up to date via text. Will definitely use Rob again and highly recommend.
Rob will take wonderful care of your furry family! He looked after our 3 cats for a week and charmed our scared girl out from under the bed within a few days. Prompt and clear communication (daily pix and text updates) and going the extra mile (cleaning up hairballs, bringing empty trash bins back from the curb) really set him apart from the pack. We will definitely reach out to him for our next trip!
1000% would recommend this company. Great customer service and cats were well taken care of. They get stressed around new people, but they got along with rob very well. I will be using them in the future and you should too! Thanks for taking care of the little dudes rob!
It was so comforting to know that our kitty was in good hands whilst we were on vacation. Rob sent regular updates and pictures, went above and beyond and it was perfect coming home to a happy, healthy cat!
Rob of Capital City Pet Sitters is wonderful! He takes excellent care of my two cats when we are away. He provides daily updates, which certainly puts me at ease. I highly recommend him!
They did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was out of town for a few days. My cat is timid of everyone and he was immediately at ease with our caretaker Rob. They provided daily updates for my cat’s care which I really appreciated and made my trip so much easier. I completely recommend their services and they would be my first call for future care. Thank you so much!
Had a great experience using Capital City Pet Sitters for the first time. Rob, the business owner, was very quick to respond to all of my inquiries. Appreciated that he came out to meet us and our cat before we headed out of town. He sent us updates each day regarding how she was doing, which was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to recommend their services to other pet parents!
I'm so glad to have found Capital City Pet Sitters! I often struggle with leaving my two cats when going on vacation but upon my return, they both seemed very at ease and I know were well taken care of. Pricing is fair and it was wonderful knowing they were in great hands. I've already referred them to other cat moms. :)
Playful Pets was incredible with my dog, Dario, during his recent boarding stay! He’s a playful golden doodle with a lot of energy, and the staff made sure he had plenty of fun and social time. I could tell he felt comfortable and cared for right from the start, which really put me at ease while I was out of town. I loved getting updates and knowing he was getting both playtime with other dogs and one-on-one attention from the staff. Dario came home happy and relaxed—thank you, Playful Pets, for taking such good care!🌈🐾
Genuinely some of the best staff I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I have severe anxiety about boarding facilities and Owen went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and Grimm had the time of her life. I got daily updates even though I was out of service for the majority of her stay. Steve was also in communication with me and sent me photos. Grimm had the best time and I’ve been begging her dad to let me get her a sibling ever since we left. 20/10 stars will be using them for future stays.
Our rescue dog is timid & fearful. We were even more so when boarding him for the first time. What an amazing experience! Everyone was caring, attentive, & helped slowly socialize Finni. They were exceptional in sending us photos & short clips of our boy throughout his stay. Everything was always fresh & clean. Staff took time to allay our concerns and tell us how they address each issue we thought of. On a scale of 1-10, Playful Pets, their owner, Steve, & every one of his wonderful staff rates a 20! Playful Pets, as you know, we are very protective. Each of you were so kind & helped us get over our worries and anxiety over boarding our little boy. You took exceptional care of him and every other dog as if they were your own. We are beyond happy & look forward to a long relationship with our new “family”! We would highly recommend them.
Clean, great communication, easy pickup and drop off, staff are friendly and professional. We board our dog here frequently, and have boarded our dog up to a week. We also do day care about 1-2 times per week. We’ve been going for over a year and refer many friends to playful pets. They do cute seasonal photo shoots and we get updates during longer boardings. We love that they have a large outdoor and indoor space, enough for our crazy hound to do her zoomies and exercise. Our dog can be anxious, and she didn’t do well with some of the other boarding places we tried out in Columbus. Never here! Our dog loves Playful Pets and runs to the back door to get inside and jumps on the staff she’s so excited to see them! Thank you Steve and team!
After trying many different daycares, I finally found one to stick with and that my dog loves! I like that the facility has indoor and outdoor space! The inside is HUGE. Steve is so friendly, and the rest of the staff is super kind. Pricing is fair and packages are great! My dog runs into daycare and sleeps all night after. Absolutely would recommend!
My small dogs (miniature pinschers) love going to Playful Pets! Charlie is a little shy so I thought it might help with socialization, which it already has. Gigi is a wild puppy who came to me from a bad situation, so not only did she need to get out all her energy, she really needs to learn to trust humans. Playful Pets treats them like the precious fur kids they are and has already learned their personalities and tendencies. So grateful for everything they have done for us!
For most of us our dogs 🐶 are family. It’s a big deal to leave them in the care of others. The staff at Playful Pets gets it. They are wonderful. Thank you for caring for our Riley. …
This is the first doggie care I’ve ever taken my dog and it is amazing!!! The people that work there are super nice, they sent me a mid-day update on how he was doing (including pictures) and judging by the pictures he had a BLAST!
We've been taking our Toby to Playful Pets since 2016! He isn't the most energetic dog but he's always excited to go there. Steve & staff take such good care of him and he always comes home worn out and tired. It's perfect for days we have evening plans so he doesn't have to stay home alone for an extended period of time. I highly recommend them!
We were hesitant to do daycare with our 3 year old rescue but work long hours occasionally and didn’t want her home alone all day. We loved that they really took their time on day one to acclimate her to the space and the pack. They frequently send updates and photos to put our anxious (first time dog owners) minds at ease. All of the employees are great as well as the owner Steve. They remember each dog and their owner (there’s a lot!!) which means a lot to us. We have also used them for boarding and our dog who has never been crated did so well in their large kennels. Highly recommend!
We LOVE Doggie Daycare Center!!!! Both our dogs have been coming here for daycare and boarding since we moved to cbus, 4 years ago. Our dogs consider the staff it!! Both dogs love coming here and we enjoy how tired they are after a day of playing with all the other pups. The prices are fair and they keep the dogs UNCRATED all day!!! The facility is clean and has an outdoor/indoor area. I don't know what we would do without Doggie Daycare Center.
They are so kind every time we go and they are great about keeping the dogs active. Our dog is always ready to sleep when we pick her up.
We love Doggie Daycare Center, and so does our dog! We’ve tried a few different daycares in the area, and Doggie Daycare has definitely been our favorite. Highly recommend for daycare and boarding services.
Our pup has been visiting Doggie Daycare Center for just over a year. Dear friends of ours recommended it as truly phenomenal, and they were not wrong. The socialization has been fantastic, and it's easy to see the genuine love that the staff has for dogs. We've used daycare as well as boarding and grooming. Communication is excellent - we cannot imagine a better place.
I can't say enough good things about this place! I was traveling for work, and brought my dog with me, but she needed daycare during the day while I worked. My dog can be rather shy and attached to my hip, but she loved it here! She would get so excited the minute we drove in the parking lot, and run straight to the back without me. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. The facility was very clean, safe and organized. I wish this daycare was in my hometown, because I would bring her here all the time. I feel so lucky to have chosen this spot to care for my dog. The report card and Instagram updates were a delight!
My dog's get so excited to come here. They love it and the staff! Updating after three years: the dogs still love it but I love the place even more. My dog was diagnosed with epilepsy and they are able to take care of him including all the medications and reactions during the seizure. It's very reassuring to take my dogs to a place that can take care of them so well and that genuinely care about my dogs.
Our pup loves Doggie Daycare! He finds similarly energetic dogs to engage with and loves the staff. I feel he is always well cared for, and I appreciate the updates from the team.
We have bringing our dog here for the past 3.5 years and I cannot say enough good things about this place. It's a place where your dog truly gets to run around with other dogs all day. Our dog always comes home tired from a full day of play. They have an indoor and outdoor space. I love their hours and the fact that they are open on the weekend. It's great that we can board him there when we're going out of town (and for only $10 more than the daycare fee), so we know he's still able to run around all day only in the kennel at night. It's nice to know he's not cooped up all day like at some other dog boarding places in town. We've never had trouble with boarding filling up and are always able to schedule it when we want. Plus he LOVES the people there. He is normally afraid of other people, but he has gotten to know the staff and is always excited to see them. You can tell the staff genuinely loves the dogs. The owner turned over a couple years and the new guy is really great. The other reviews that mention a lady are referring to the old owner. Finally- about parking- we used to be able to use the parking spaces in the lot next to the building, but a competitor doggie daycare opened next door and won't let them use those spots anymore (even though they have an entire other parking lot and don't really use them). So you either pop into the loading zone just out front, or park in the parking lot of the dialysis center next door which is just a short stroll to the entrance.
My recently-adopted, 6-month-old shy/anxious puppy loves this place. That says a LOT about how great this daycare is run. We have test-run a few daycares throughout Columbus and in other states, and there were always too many dogs, not enough staff members in the play areas, and my pup was always too overwhelmed without much space for her to get away from the action. After her first day at Doggie Daycare Center, I knew this was the place for her. She was confident, happy, and also tired from playing all day. I appreciate that this daycare isn't a huge business with hundreds (if not thousands) of clients that capitalizes off of them, like a popular one in Columbus that we tried but didn't work out... I'm sure people know which one I am talking about. It is rare nowadays to find honestly-run businesses that care about your wellbeing and aren't just trying to make a profit. I feel like my dog is well-cared for, the staff pays close attention to her and her needs, and they take my personal requests seriously so I can ensure my shy dog has the time of her life. This daycare was a recommendation to me by two friends, and now I see why. I would recommend this place a thousand times.
The groomer was so darn nice and really cares about the dogs she is working with! Our giant breed has arthritis and was very matted from a year of cancelled grooming appointments due to covid. She did a great job with him and worked with me to get a future appointment scheduled so that we can stay in too of his bathing and grooming. After all that, the price was super affordable too! We found our lifetime groomers for Bear and l future pups as long as she is there!
