An absolute 5 star experience all round. A beautiful house and an even more beautiful dog! Isaac & Clare’s house is in a gorgeous countryside location on the edge of Houston Village. I was so comfortable and felt completely at home. Kiki & I had the most amazing fun over the 2 weeks. We even managed to go out on a cart with a donkey! I’m already missing Kiki and would love the chance to look after her again in the future.
What a wonderful sitting opportunity this was! Chiara was extremely welcoming and a great communicator before and during the sit. She even so kindly invited us to stay prior to the sit, which was just lovely of her. We enjoyed getting to know her - she is a smart, funny and welcoming person. Minnie is an adorable cat. She is a little shy but once she got to know us and trust us, she loved to play and hang around for a few strokes. She is a gentle little creature, and very cute indeed! Chiara's apartment is so comfortable, clean, well-equipped and stylish and it's also located in a really fab area of Milan. We felt very honoured to be chosen by Chiara and had a fabulous time in beautiful Milan. Thank you, Chiara and Minerva, for a lovely opportunity.
This was a wonderful sit over the holiday. Lorrie and Bill are warm, welcoming and fun. I arrived the night before so they could show me how to dispense insulin shots (very easy!) and we spent the evening together. While they were gone, all was well. They have a beautiful home, good welcome guide and Curtis and Harry were friendly kitties. They play some, sleep some and liked to be around me when just hanging out. Lorrie stayed in great communication and all was well. I would love to sit here again if the opportunity arises.
Meg and Nimbus are both awesome! Meg is very upbeat and super fun to be around! She communicated great and even let me use one of her bikes to ride the trails. Nimbus has a great personality, he is happy to do anything you are doing. If you want to relax or go on hike he is up for either. Just an overall great companion! Everything was really nice and I highly recommend hanging out with Nimbus and Meg if you get the chance!
I had a lovely trip staying at Sabina's apartment. The area was beautiful and felt very safe. Joon and Sofie were easy to look after and made good company!

Great place for daycare. Dropping off my crazy Aussie here was a breeze and Matt was very attentive to my handling instructions. Definitely above and beyond care. Way better than using big chain dog boarding facilities so I look forward to bringing my boy back in the future.
I cannot say enough good things about Ellie and Matthew. They treat your babies like their babies I have been taking my American Bulldog to them since he was a year old. And my Jango loves them!! When we walk him down that street he knows where he is going and practically pulls my husband with him. I highly recommend using them when you need someone who will take care of and love your pet.
Matthew and his family really take good care of our puppies, a German Shephard and a Morkie, which both are not a year old yet. They always come back happy, and the next time, they seem looking forward to it! He always sends photos and check in throughout the duration of the boarding. We appreciate having Elly's Pine Castle and our chosen dog boarding facility. Thank you, Matthew!
Our dog loves Elly's and we're so thankful to have found them! They've been her sitter for several years and we travel more confidently knowing that she's in good hands while we're away. Even when she was a new boarder and was skittish and nervous, we knew they were taking good care of her and working with her, and now she's always so excited to go!
Matt is very flexible and takes great care of my animals.
Matt took great care of my high energy boys. I have a Doberman and needy Weimaraner and I feel like they were in the best hands! I am and will continue to be a repeat customer.
If you’re looking for dog boarding or just play dates to get your dog socialized & better around certain surroundings this is the place to go. They’re well trained people & seen improvement in our dog social skills since using them. Would highly recommend 10/10 times.
Matthew and Elly are wonderful dog sitters. They took excellent care of my good boy! Will visit again for sure!
Very friendly "dog people." Po always comes back happy from his stay overs.
Matt took care of our baby the most comfortable way possibly ever! 100% recommended!
I drive 30 minutes out of my way and have boarding facilities a lot closer to me. It is well worth the extra miles. I have been going there for years. The staff is always very friendly the dogs are well cared for and the price is very reasonable.
I would like to thank the Orlando Preppy Pet staff for taking care of our fur babies while in the area on vacation. As first timers we were all extremely nervous and because of that check in (Thu late afternoon) was a bit hectic. But the staff was thorough and got us through it. Each time we called throughout their stay a staff member gave a full run down of their day, etc. (strange place, so their appetites were low - staff member even offered to add some chicken broth to their meal to encourage them to eat). Though we remained nervous it gave us some peace of mind that they were being taken care of. Check out was great (Mon early afternoon)!! Our babies looked well taken care of and very excited to see us! The play time and daily walking schedule seemed to have given them the stimulation they needed; they slept most of the 8 hr ride home. One of the things we would have liked would have been access to monitor them remotely; this location does not have video monitoring. Another thing is this location does not operate 24 hours; dogs are left unattended from 7pm-6am the next morning. Other than that great experience! Thank you again! Shorty, Bruno & Family
My fur baby Fofo loved preppy pet. He was 14 years old. He attended preppy pet daily for the last two years while I went to work and that was one of the only other places besides the beach where he would run and act like a puppy. He loved making new buddies and getting love from the staff. The staff there is phenomenal!!! The staff were there for me even through the worst of moments when he passed just a few short weeks ago. The staff even checked in on me afterwards to see how I was holding up. This place is so much more than a doggie daycare/boarding facility. Preppy Pet became his home away from home and everyone made him feel special just like I did. If you are in the need for a place I HIGHLY recommend taking your furry family to them. I know if I ever end up with another they will definitely join the Preppy Pet family. Enjoy these pics of my baby boy. One of which is of him fresh after pick up from the daycare. Happy and tuckered out after a full day of playing with his buddies. He sure did love his cookies too 😂🥰
My puppy is so fond of this place! He came back to us happier than ever,to the point he took a moment to realize it was us. I'm so greatful to Preppy Pet Boarding to have taken him as their own dog and showed him love and affection. As a new customer, Sometimes it's really hard to find a place where you're reassured your fur-baby will be ok, this place is it. He will definetly come back! Thank you so much
the service they provided for my dog while I was away was excellent. the staff was friendly and diligent in caring for my dog. highly recommended for pet boarding and daycare!
First of all I would like to thank April and her staff for taking awesome care of my dogs. My dogs are 6 months old and I put them in Preppy Pet for 5 days. I called everyday and April and her staff made me feel so comfortable with leaving my dogs there. I'm so grateful for them. I have never left my dogs with anyone before. They did an awesome job, I would do it again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Preppy Pet Howard Andrews
We take our dog there about every 2-3 months for vacation boarding. He enjoys it quite a bit, they bathe him and he's healthy and uninjured when we pick him up. It's expensive (about $60/day for an 85lb Labrador.
I have been taking my Snowflake and Zen to Preppy Pet for daycare and Boarding many years. They are always excited to go there, so much that Snowflake would bark at the door to get in the back with the other dogs. Yesterday was Snowflake's last day with our family... on Friday I brought her in for one last visit and the staff (Kay, Dan, April - and all the others behind the scenes) helped make sure she had a great few more hours. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the love and care over the years. Zen will continue to visit of course!
picked up my 5 dogs from boarding at preppy pet during the holidays ( the 5th one is on my lap lol ). my experience with them was great! they were able to find other dogs for my dogs to play with so my dogs were able to make friends and have some fun , i was able to call them and ask how my dogs are doing and they would give me thorough updates ❤️ when i picked up my dogs they were also all bathed and smelled super good which was a huge weight lifted off my back because they’re a lot to bathe. will definitely be coming back 👍🏽👍🏽😃
Our family has been relying on Preppy Pet to take care of our dog for a few years. Dropping her off here is like leaving her with Friends or Family. Ms. Kay and the entire team are great. if our husky with a sensitive tummy has any issue, they will call and let us know. Not often but a relief to know the attention they give her. They get to know you and your dog and are caring and thoughtful about the dogs needs. Our girl makes a bee line for Ms. Kay the minute she gets there ❤️! Don’t know what we’d do without having Preppy Pet and their amazing team. Thank you for all you do!
We discovered a gem in Universal Dog Care when we needed a trustworthy haven for our dog while we explored the parks. Our goldendoodle, a sweet but clingy companion, struggles with severe separation anxiety, and being only three, had never been boarded before - the thought of leaving him behind was very hard for me. But Universal Dog Care's exceptional communication style and abundance of photo updates throughout the day alleviated my concerns, filling me with confidence that we'd made the right decision. Their dedication to keeping us informed and comfortable was truly heartwarming. We were thrilled to see that our furry friend enjoyed the freedom of not being crated, lounging on plush furniture that made him feel right at home. The photos they shared showcased a dog in absolute bliss, and we knew, without a doubt, that we would return to Universal Dog Care on our next Florida adventure.
This was my first Vacation with my Dog Buster, First time leaving him with a professional day care service. The experience was phenomenal. Highly recommended. Would most definitely leave my pup here again. They were super polite and caring for my dog. Love the amount of pictures received throughout the day. If you looking for dog care near Orlando Universal Dog Care is the place to go. Super happy with their service.
I cannot recommend Universal Dog Care Orlando enough! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that they truly care about the well-being and happiness of every dog. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making both me and my dog feel right at home. My dog usually has separation anxiety, but the team’s gentle approach and constant communication put my mind at ease. They provided regular updates, photos. I am grateful for the exceptional care they provide. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and professional dog care service, look no further!
I was a bit nervous leaving my dog somewhere for the first time, but Grammy made the experience so much easier! She responded quickly to all my messages and questions, and seeing so many pictures of my dog happily wagging his tail throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. Great place!
My fur baby Leah Pearl did an eight day stay at the BEST of the BEST, Universal Dog Care Orlando this Thanksgiving. She was well taken care of and had a ball meeting new friends🐶. The family caring for her and the other dogs are very nice, loving and knowledgable to their needs. The extra touch of getting photos each day from 7a to 7p helped with my anxiety along with and questions i had being answered. Thank you so much for taking really good care of our girl. I had a wonderful trip because my girl was having a great time with all her new 🐶 friends. Evelyn
We discovered Universal Dog care Orlando online by the awesome google reviews they had and right away knew they were going to be great at taking care of our Nico while we were out on our cruise trip. Grammy and grandpa are the best at taking care of fur babies! Nico recently got diagnosed with reverse sneezing so he now has to take pills in the morning and at night to help with his allergies and they did not have an issue with that and gave his medication on time. Pictures were provided several times a day and Nico looked so happy and like he was having a great time! also quick response to our text messages. Thank you so much Grammy and grandpa for taking awesome care of Nico !!!
We will always take our fur baby to Universal Dog Care Orlando, anytime we are in the area. They are wonderful people and communicate everything very well, start to finish. We had peace of mind all day long in theme parks, enjoying a visit from my son and his girlfriend, and receiving pictures of our fur baby all day long. I recommend Universal Dog Care to anyone that loves their fur baby and wants peace of mind. It was an excellent trip and we owe the most part to these owners who were excellent and very attentive to our fur baby. Thank you so much for treating Chance like family. You are amazing!!
So glad I went with Universal Dog Care Orlando. They provided top notch service. My pet wasn’t just boarded in a kennel, he was cared for in an environment that he was able to be comfortable and play with other dogs. I loved getting update photos all day long making me feel at ease while my family enjoyed time at the amusement parks.
My husband and I were visiting Orlando for a few days for a conference and needed to board our pups for a few days. We stumbled upon Universal Dog care after doing some searching and were blown away at their reviews. Let me tell you… the reviews are legit!! The level of care, love and attention they showed to our dogs was unmatched by any other service, and we’ve been to some great places. They sent pictures throughout the day, but the best part of that was how incredibly happy our dogs looked at all times. Always playing, always smiling and tails wagging. It’s always a little scary going to a new place but they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Forever grateful!!
I had a last minute trip to Orlando and had to bring my puppy with. I was so hesitant in leaving him just anywhere. I read all the 5 star reviews Universal Dog Care has and decided to try them. I messaged them and got a prompt response. Since day one that I left my little champ there I received messages and pictures to let me know my pup was just fine! I left him 3 days over night and I can’t thank them enough and to top it off their prices are so affordable. Again thank you so much for all you do!
Miss Emily’s was amazing! I boarded my 5 month old kitten, Sammy, there this past weekend and they took exceptional care of him. They were super communicative with me whenever I had questions or just wanted an update on Sam. They definitely gave him lots of love this weekend and I’m so glad he had a friendly and loving place to stay while I was away. I know there’s not too many reviews for cat owners on here so I wanted to let you guys know that they treat their kitties amazing as well. He had lots of playtime and social time with the workers from what I could see. I definitely recommended Miss Emily’s if anyone needs to board their cat.
I picked up Sonny from boarding with Miss Emily’s- this was our first time boarding & I was very anxious as this was my first time away from my dog, however miss Emily’s made me feel so at ease and took care of my baby! I trust them to take care of him moving forward and absolutely adore the staff! Special shout out to Jess and Valerie who are amazing and friendly :) I will continue to use miss Emily since I trust them! & recommend for any pet parents in the area
my pup LOVES it here and always comes home happy-as-can-be! (and tired after a fun day, lol!) i feel confident that my baby is safe during her day at daycare, as it is free play. the staff is very transparent about how they run their daycare program, so i don’t have a doubt that she’ll have a fun, safe day, every day! every staff member i speak with is super friendly and shows immense care for each and every dog that comes in. i recommend Miss Emily’s to all my friends and family! We ❤️ the Miss Emily’s Team!
Miss Emily’s is the perfect place to take my pup knowing she’s in safe and caring hands. The staff at Miss Emily’s treats my baby like family!! She plays all day with her friends and always comes home passed out from a full day of fun at Miss Emily’s!
My dog had his first experience with doggie daycare last week at Miss Emily's bed and biscuit. He was a resurender dog when I got him from the pound. He is afraid of kennels and crates. Emily's was a positive experience for him. Just look at that face. It says it all. We are looking forward to future visits.
We have been at Miss Emily’s for 7 years! My dog Malley goes to daycare 5 days a week!!! We love the staff and everything about this daycare! I would not trust anyone else with my precious baby girl!
My dogs love Miss Emily's. I feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies with them. The staff is super sweet and very professional. I always look forward to seeing their report cards they send me during their stay. I highly recommend this bed and biscuit.
I work here and my dog loves coming here as well! They truly take care of all the animals and love them as though they are their own. Daycare is a ton of fun and all the dogs are well mannered and taken care in an amazing way!
Miss Emily’s Bed & Biscuit has been nothing but amazing to me and my pup! When I first took my puppy she was super timid and didn’t love being at daycare, but, the staff put together a plan for her! They eased her into being in the play room with other dogs and also put her in a room with another friend. That way she was constantly with friends and was getting more comfortable with dogs her size and that were bigger than her. They really helped my little dog get out of her comfort zone!! Now, everyday I take her to daycare she so so so excited to see all the staff and her fur friends!! They take so many pictures, give her treats, and love her unconditionally while I am at work! They also give me so many updates on how she did that day, and funny stories of what my pup did! They truly do love every single fur baby that goes to daycare! I love Miss Emily’s and the wonderful staff as well!!!
Wonderful daycare spot, even better team members! Everyone at Miss Emily’s is always patient, cheerful and kind. You can tell they truly love the animals they care for. My dog loves going to the day care program and is always happy to see everyone there. Check out this place if you're looking for a safe, place to take your pets to socialize and burn off some energy during the day.
Ben and Reta are Amazing!!! Was looking for a last minute boarding place for my Dog Cody and I’m so glad I found these two!! They made sure my little Cody was well taken care of and the love they have for animals is beyond words! My boyfriend and I were staying in Orlando for a few days to go to universal and we loved that throughout each day they would send us cute updates of our Cody and what he was up to. When we first arrived at Ben and Reta’s, they sat on the floor so that Cody felt comfortable and took their time getting to know him. They don’t require that you crate your animals which I loved, because I wanted my Cody to feel at home. Their daily rate was more than reasonable and they don’t try to charge you all these extra fees like a lot of other Pet resort places do. If you’re looking for a dog boarding place that will go above and beyond to take tremendous care of your pet/pets look no further. I don’t think I could bear to take my Cody anywhere else when I visit Orlando. Thank you guys again so much!!!
Ben and Reta are exactly who should be watching your fur babies. They love animals and are very thoughtful to our expectations of a caregiver. They listed to and honored our parameters. Since everyone has different framework for their pets, we really appreciate this. We got tons of pics and videos of our active puppies. They treated them so well we were worried they wouldn’t want to leave. We can’t say enough about these sitters that feel like fam. ❤️
Ben and Rita are amazing! We were lucky to find them a few years ago when we were going out of town for a few days and never had left our pups home. We have 4 dogs, all different personalities. Ben made our vacation by showing our pups love and taking great care of them. He sent us a ton of pictures and videos of our pups during our vacation. Our pups love Ben and Rita! We have used their service many times and will continue to do so! I highly recommend them!
Not very often do I take the time to write a review but Ben and Rita certainly deserve one. They have been so helpful to me and my boyfriend on several occasions. Above and beyond service is what they provide. They are flexible to your needs, value your trust and assure your animals well bring. Thank you Ben and Rita for caring for our pitbull!
Benjamin and Reta are exceptionally well with my two dogs. Being a first time dog owner I was always afraid to put the trust in others to take care of my dogs but the moment I found Ben and Reta , made all fear go away. I’ve been using them since my boy Ace was a puppy and now he’s 1 almost 2 in June. Ben always provided me with knowledge about dogs being that I was a first time owner. In the beginning I only had Ace and even transitioning to having Tyson, the experience remained the same. Ben and Reta definitely love our dogs like they’re their dogs. It’s a true paradise experience for Ace and Tyson. They are very hands on and always make my boys feel loved and happy. I have used them for house drop in visits and boarding. They play outside and take them on walks. They always make sure my dogs have fresh water, food and clean bowls. Photos and videos are always provided from the time they enter the home until the time they leave and I appreciate them for making sure my home is secured before leaving. During boarding, unlike most people. I was able to visit their home and actually see where my dogs would be spending time. They have a beautiful home very safe and secure. Same as drop in visits , photos and videos are sent throughout their stay. Majority of the day and definitely throughout their entire stay we are updated with photos. They make sure they have all dog information before boarding. From the doctor they attend, shot records , food they eat, and they make sure they ask for anything we may not want them to have or do. Which is important! I truly have nothing to worry about when it comes to my dogs. Thank you guys so much. We deeply appreciate it!
My husband and I are SKEPTICAL about boarding places because of past experiences. We went on a hunt for a new boarder due to ours having an emergency. We bumped into Doggy Doodle Stuff Pet Care Services and it was the BEST experience we had. Ben and Reta welcomed us into their home for a meet and greet. In the past meet and greets have been at the front door or none at all. We were invited to sit down and offered water. They both sat on the floor to meet my baby Novah at her level which for me meant A LOT. Ben and Reta both sat there for about 30 minutes to get to know us. They also had every room in their home opened so Novah can scope the place and feel it out. This isn’t common! They then walked us to their backyard to show us and played catch with Novah for about 15 minutes. Ben and Reta gave us hugs and let us know we were more than welcomed to have Novah there if needed. So guess what? We booked them. When we dropped Novah off we left crying because we have separation issues with her lol. When I say that I did NOT have to worry about Novah I mean it. We received pictures and videos the entire time. They even allowed Novah on their bed to watch TV with them. Who does that? Ben and Reta!!!! When we picked Novah up she was excited to see us but she didn’t drag us to the car like she has in a few other places. She was ok with going back in while Reta handed us her belongings. She even went back to Reta and sat by her legs. Novah came home pooped from the vacation she had with her Uncle Ben and Aunt Reta. If you LOVE your doggie like me and have anxiety leaving them places, I can guarantee that Ben and Reta is the way! They actually LOVE the dogs and take care of them like their own. They do not just dog sit them. Thank you so very much guys we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
They are amazing... My first and many more times to come for their service. The care, attention to detail, and follow-up with pictures, professionalism, and the love they have for pets. It's truly authentic. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets. Give Doggy Doodle Pet Care Services a try!!! God Bless...
Ben and Reta take the absolute best care of our dogs each time we’re away! They send updates throughout the day to let us know that the dogs been walked and fed and are doing well. I can’t recommend them enough!
Ben and Rita have cared for my pup for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care they provide for her. The attention to detail and the genuine love for animals is evident in everything they do! They send daily pictures/videos and updates. When I am out of town, I always have peace of mind that she is relaxed, happy, and safe.
Ben is amazing! He loves our dog Lila so much and she loves him! He is a true animal lover and it shows! He sends videos and pictures and she always looks so happy! He spoils her rotten with love just like we do! We could not ask for a better person to take care of our “child”!!!!
I’m amazed at how much more behaved my dog is just after one session with Kristin! My cheweenie has territorial issues and “small dog” syndrome. She helped him learn to calm down almost immediately and is teaching us so much about how to create a more calm and respecting space at home too. Her techniques are easy to understand and implement and she trains us to be better communicators with our pets.
We've been happy clients of Kristin and Every Dawg Has Its Day for almost three years. Our greyhound doesn't get along with everyone, but always has a waggy tail to greet Kristin. He has received wonderful care and attention while we are away, or just need him watched for the day. We appreciate all that Every Dawg Has It's Day does to accommodate our needs, from last minute schedule changes to pickup and drop offs. We don't have to worry about him when he's with Kristin. It's a relief to know she is well qualified to deal with any mishaps or emergencies. He's got puppy friends and comfy places to rest, all a dog could ask for.
Kristin is everything you could possibly want in a caregiver for your pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable, well-taken care of, and HAPPY! Her at-home set up is a puppy paradise! She also sends updates/videos as often as you want and does pick up and drop off. I don't worry about Norman AT ALL when he is with Kristin. He gets SO excited when she comes to pick him up!
Kristin goes above and beyond. She's taken care of our pup when he's been sick, and always sends photo, video, and text updates so we know he's in good hands. She's helped us through initial puppy potty training, post-op neuter care, dog socialization, and more. Her home is a puppy-proofed pet paradise, and Kirby always has a blast when he gets to go there. If you're looking for a dog walker who is accomodating and genuinely cares for your pet, look no further! I am so glad we chose a reliable and trustworthy local business to work with.
First time ever having someone other than family or close friends take care of my two dogs - I can't express how lucky I am to have found Kristin. She took the best care of my dogs and sent me videos and pictures and kept me posted all day. I had zero worry or concerns. I feel great knowing I don't have to worry about going out of town or working late knowing she is always willing to help and work around my crazy hectic schedule. Thank you Kristin and Molly! ❤️🐾
I would have to agree with all of the other reviews here that Kristin is a god-sent and you should absolutely put her #1 on your list in your search for pet care if you live downtown. Here is why. 1. She loves animals. She has her own pets who are more than well-cared for and she will treat your pet like one of her own. 2. She understands dog behavior. She uses cruelty-free methods of correcting your pet and offers lots of praise when they do something right. She understands that dogs are dogs and let's them do their thing. I go to her first when I have questions about my pup because she is so knowledgeable. 3. She goes the extra mile. If you live downtown she will come and get your pet. If your dog is sick she will take him to the vet. She will check your stove for you when she comes to get ur dog, it's like having a friend you know you can count on. 4. She is completely transparent in her business practices. You can actually come and see where the animals rest, where they play, what toys they use ect. I have been to many doggy daycare centers where they won't let you back to see these areas... um... sketchy? Her space is COMPLETELY puppy-proofed and she watches the pets closely. 5. She is incredibly flexible with special diets, medications, changing feeding schedules, ect. As a rule of thumb she only feeds healthy whole nutrient snacks like carrots and green beans, but if you want your dog to have something special she will follow it. I will not trust my precious Bazzy with ANYONE ELSE. We are so blessed to have Kristin in our lives!!
Had the western burrito and it was really tasty. Beautiful view of the Lewiston River!
Bark Orlando does an excellent job at boarding pups. They each have their own 'condo' space and Bark controls capacity for an enjoyable experience for the furry ones. Book early as they can fill up and you don't want to take your dog anywhere else!
UPDATE 6/2024 we still love Bark Orlando and our pup visits weekly! Bark Orlando is everything I could have hoped for in a daycare for my pup. I am a very protective dog mom and they have made me feel secure since the first day, from their honesty about whether a dog is a good fit for their facility to the love and attention they put into caring for all their dogs. I also like that they have both an indoor and outdoor area and there is always a staff member interacting with the dogs. When I tell my pup “let’s go to camp!” she gets so excited and jumps in the car because Bark days are her favorite days. They’re my favorite too because she always comes home happy and tired. Would absolutely recommend them to care for your fur children!
I am disappointed to learn that Bark Orlando management does not stand by their word. I purchased a package for daycare and was advised per the Kierstin that, “ the good thing about it is they do not expire” I called recently regarding boarding my dog with plans to bring her to daycare a few days prior to get reacquainted with the facility. At that time I was told that the remaining days of my package for day care expired. I was taken by surprised and thought that maybe the business changed hands. I called back and confirmed that ownership had not changed; therefore, I asked for Kierstin to give me a call. I was certain that she would stand by her word. Unfortunately, she did not phone me as requested; however, she instructed an employee to advise me that the expiration policy stands and has always been in existence. I am a strong believer that when a person show you who they are, believe them. If I can’t trust management to stand by their word, I certainly can’t trust that they would do what’s said about caring for my dog. I will be sharing this experience with friends and family in addition to this review with hopes that others will not encounter this same experience. However, I pray that the daycare days loss really made a BIG difference in the profits over loosing continued business. I wish Bark Orlando the best! Warm regards Kathy White-Sparks (kenzie)
We have been taking our pup, Freckles, to Bark Orlando for a little over 2 months now. She goes 2-3 times a week. When we pull into the parking lot I have to physically stop her from jumping out of the car because she is so excited to be there. The staff knows her and welcomes her every morning. When she leaves, she gets pets from the staff and they are sad to see her go. They treat Freckles very well and she comes home tired. They are very good about posting the dogs on social media throughout the day so we can check up on them and will respond to you if you ask for an extra picture or 2 throughout the day. The front desk will not hustle you out of your money either. Their pricing is very straight forward and reasonable. The packages are a must do as they do save you a few extra bucks per day. They offer baths and nail trims which we have taken advantage of as well. We would recommend Bark Orlando 110% to anyone who asks and we think Freckles would to! ***Please note the many photos taken of Freckles after a day at Bark Orlando.***
Bark Orlando is FANTASTIC! Our pup Bonnie is so excited to get there and play with her friends, especially on water play day (her favorite). The staff is wonderful and seeing her on their Instagram posts the day she’s there is a bonus.
BARK ORLANDO IS TOP KNOTCH. I literally would not trust my fur children anywhere else! Kierstin goes above and beyond in every aspect of Bark Orlando including picking the BEST staff, curating the best treats/toys and always having fun little surprises for our little guys. Our pups favorite word is “CAMP”…it’s ridiculous how nuts they go when I say that word. We also look forward to reading their report cards!! Thanks, Bark Orlando for all you do!!!!!
WE (Dory and I) love bark Orlando! I was scared to bring my Great Dane anywhere but knew it was super important to socialize her as young as I could! Kirsten and her staff have made Dory’s experience nothing less than amazing! Dory also gets training on Saturdays with Adalynn and I have noticed a tremendous change in her confidence! After a long day at work, I pick up Dory and she is exhausted! So I know she had a super playful eventful day! I am so glad I brought her here, Kevin is super amazing, and Dory is literally obsessed with Kevin!! The interaction those two have when I see them makes me feel reassured she is always in good hands and that Bark Orlando is the best daycare I could’ve chosen for her!
I absolutely love Bark Orlando. Before I found them I only left my pup with friends and family. They are by far one of the best places for boarding and dog daycare. The staff are so kind and understanding, they always keep you updated with what’s going on with your pup, and they have been super accommodating and flexible. My dog always comes home nice and tired from his days playing there. Highly recommend Bark Orlando.
Can’t say enough great things about this place! My 5 month old puppy had a blast being boarded for a long weekend. It was his first time being away from me for more than a day and he did so well. The staff is so friendly and professional, and they sent photos and videos to me to ease my mind. They also post on their Instagram story so you can see your pup playing throughout the day. I’ve already recommended them to my other dog owning friends and will for sure bring Barney back here the next time I’m going out of town. He was completely exhausted when I brought him home 😅😅
My energetic Goldendoodle, Poe, loves his camp days at Bark Orlando! Everyone is very nice & caring for the pups. I know Poe has a great time because every time I drop him off he runs in and doesn't look back :) We have been going to Bark for a little over 2 years and I am so thankful for everyone there. Plus, at the end of every camp day you get a report card that will tell you who your pet's friends were and how they behaved during the day. I also really appreciate the documentation on IG stories - seeing Poe having a great time on there makes my day. Thank you Bark Orlando for everything!
We've been coming to DDA for 14+ years. The level of care and attention provided our dogs is unmatched and leaves us feeling confident on times when we travel. The picture updates always make us smile and our dogs come back happy, in great weight, and tuckered out from playing so hard. Our newest dog is very tough with nail clips, but the groomers are able to get her done each time, it's a miracle! We are so lucky to have found DDA!
Asher had so much fun at Dog Day Afternoon, we loved getting a report card with how he was doing and photo updates during his daycare meet and greet. We have also had Lauren come to our home for home training for a few sessions, and she did a great job each time teaching us how to work with Asher on what he needs!
Whether it's daycare, boarding, or training, this is the only place in Orlando that we trust to take care of our fur babies. They love going and always come home happy and tired. Plus, the report cards are a huge plus! Everyone is super friendly, the facility is clean, and you can tell the dogs are so loved by everyone. Definitely recommend!
We did A LOT of research on where to board our two fur babies consistently in the area and landed on Dogs Day Afternoon. The thorough intake process shows they care deeply about the pets well being and owners peace of mind. There is staff there 24/7 (which was key for us) and their communication is top notch. HIGHLY recommend.
I love the fact that they personalize the experience to your dog. They found my pup gets overstimulated in big groups so they pair her with one or two other dogs with similar play styles. So everyone has a safe and fun experience
I can’t even begin to say how much I love Dog Day Afternoon! My guy boards and attends daycare here and I never worry about him a single second he’s away. All his friends/staff that take care of him are amazing. He tends to be shy with people but they were so patient with him, and now when I pick him up he has to say goodbye to everyone before he leaves. They are amazing at matching other dogs with same energies and personalities to ensure everyone is safe and has an enjoyable experience. And I look forward to the photo report cards they send while he’s there. I won’t take my baby anywhere else!
We love Dog Day Afternoon! From the very first day, every person who works there has been nothing but welcoming and loving to our dog Oskee! He gets so excited to go to "school" and LOVES playing with the other dogs at daycare. We also love the pictures we get of him having fun during the day! We have also boarded him there a few times and it's nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing he is being cared for so well!
This was my first time using a doggy daycare and I was very afraid of something happening to my dogs. I have two pomeranians, and one of them knows no fear, so I was concerned he might get injured. Today was a trial day so they were to be there about 4 hours. My fears were assuaged as soon as I walked in the door. The staff were very kind and clearly loved their jobs. My dogs instantly took to them and I felt better knowing they were in good hands. They sent me a report card a few hours later with pictures of my dogs playing with other dogs and to say I was happy was an understatement. When I picked them up, they seemed to be in good spirits and had obviously been running quite a bit. The staff this time was great as well. I have high standards when it comes to my dogs and this daycare exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, cared and great communication. I am excited to be taking my dogs here in the future. I forgot to get the names of the staff but if they read this THANK YOU for taking great care of my babies ☺️
The best Doggy Day Care ever. Staff are kind, friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. The facility Is well organized and the dogs, including mine, are so keen to go there. The photos they send everyday are just so adorable, and the special activities they arrange are so much fun. I would recommend them without any reservations.
We’ve been using Dog Day Afternoon since our now 9 year old puppy was 6 months old. They have always been amazing. We never have to worry about her. Our puppy walks right in with such excitement
