Love it when Virginia is able to take care of our fur babies! She is absolutely amazing in every way. Could not recommend her any higher!
Juanita and her children were exemplary house sitters! When we returned, our pets were all happy and healthy and our house was spotless. It was a joy having them take care of our beloved cats and dogs and I wish them all the best in their future travels!
I can't say enough about caring for Toco and this home. I totally enjoyed the area. The 10 minute walk to the lake/park; the clean, friendly, and quiet neighbourhood were awesome. The house is super clean and well organized. I enjoyed caring for the plants every day. Toco is one of my absolute favourite dogs to sit. He is snuggly, easy going, listens well, and can play catch with one ball all day. Every night, we sat out back and we played for a couple of hours. He didn't mind listening to my stories and taking breaks while I worked out. While I was there my mother passed away and Toco was such a comfort. One day, we went hiking in Chautauqua mountain in memory of my mom, and he was very tolerant of the 1940s country music we listened to, because it was her favourite. He was a great hiker and was smart about resting when we found shade. I started missing Toco the day I left. When I settle, I hope to find my own Toco.
Ellie is such a fantastic, sweet, well-behaved dog. She is happy and easygoing, whether playing in the yard or by your side on the sofa, streaming a movie. Her disposition is really lovely, and she is nothing but friendly with people and other dogs. From the start of my stay until the end, she was the best. I really appreciate how straightforward Katie and Matt made the experience. The focus was on Ellie and basics like watering plants. Their home was clean, comfortable, and in a lovely, safe Portland neighborhood. A great experience that I'd recommend to others!
Had a lovely stay in Rochester with two wonderful Border Collies, Bella and Badger. Bev and Graham were very welcoming, and we shared a delicious dinner the night before they left. Everything was explained well, the WiFi was quick, and I was set up to work from home in the upstairs office. I also enjoyed walking Bella and Badger in the nearby fields and woodlands. They do love to chase balls and socialise with other dogs! Thanks, Bev and Graham for having me over. I would be happy to stay with your two lovely Collies anytime.
The cats were great! Very easy and the hosts were great. The only negative I can think of is that the house could be a little cleaner but other than that it was great!

I’ve been sending my puppy to The Little Dog Lounge for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier! The staff is incredibly friendly and I can see how they love working with dogs. They provide great supervision, and I appreciate the updates they give me at the end of the day. The facility is always clean, and the dogs are grouped by size and temperament, which makes me feel confident about my dog’s safety. My dog comes home happy and tired, which tells me he had a fun and active day! I highly recommend The Little Dog Lounge for any dog parent looking for a reliable and fun daycare option.
I absolutely love The Little Dog Lounge. My dog has the best time there and she is very well taken care of. I have an elder dog and they’re so patient with her that I feel confident leaving her there while I go to work and my dog comes home so happy and almost with a more younger vibration and energy - I highly recommend
Maree and Ann took incredible care of our two babies. They were well loved and did extremely well being boarded there. It truly is a special place with people who.love what they do! They sent us pics and videos during their stay to calm us. I will use them exclusively from now on.
New and now forever client! Maree and her team were so kind and patient with their new client. Gus is almost 13 so switching to a new groomer was stressful for both him and myself. But they were so gentle and his haircut is adorable. Bath, haircut, and nail trim are more than affordable at this doggy salon that really goes above and beyond to give our little guy the attention and care he needs. Booked his next appt before we left! Thanks ladies!
I love the little do lounge, my little nephew Enzo goes there and he loves it. He is always happy to go there and exhausted on the way home :-). They have the best groomers and their staff is friendly and professional !!! The lounge is beautifully decorated and very stylish - looks more like an upscale country club!!! The owner Maree is fabulous and very knowledgeable!!! Highly recommend this place!!!
This place is so bad that I can't understand why anyone would leave their dog there. My poor dog got progressively worse each day I picked her up from that place. They did not act like they even like dogs. After a few days of going there, she started hiding in the morning and had to be dragged or carried in. Thinking she would adjust, I carried her in and was ordered to "put her down!" and "Now, leave!" Then they dragged her away. When I picked her up, she would sit in the car shaking, and when we got home, she would not leave my side and had to be in my lap every second. She has been in other daycare settings, and had not responded that way, and she has since been going to a daycare where she can't wait to get in the door and clearly loves and is loved by the people who care for her there. She comes home exhausted from playing all day, but she was never tired when returning from the Little Dog Lounge. I really think they kept her most of the day in a crate. And that's another red flag: WHEN I ASKED TO SEE WHERE THEY KEPT THE DOGS, I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER LET ANYONE SEE THE AREA THEY KEEP THE DOGS IN, AND NO VIDEOS OR EVEN TEXTS WERE EVER SENT OR AVAILABLE FROM THEM. Every other daycare I visited wanted to show me the area the dogs stayed in. This place is not a good place for dogs. I had paid in advance and did not get a refund but did not think it too much of a loss to keep her out of that place.
There used to be a lovely woman who worked here and our interactions made me feel I was leaving me dog in a good place. There were a couple other workers who didn't seem like the liked dogs at all, but my primary interaction was with the one very nice woman. Our oldest child died of cancer last year, and she was very flexible with us helping us to get boarding when we needed it during a time when my daughter was being treated in NYC, and I still do have a lot of appreciation for her flexibilty. We had random friends and neighbors dropping off our dog and picking her up during the hospice days and the week after my daughter's funeral, and the business was good with that. If the woman I had the positive interactions with is the owner, she was great, and needs to take control of her business again. My dog never liked going to this place, but we have not boarded her anywhere else so it could be that she doesn't like us leaving her. All that being said, I called a few weeks ago to schedule a few days of boarding for my dog so we could go out of town. The person I spoke to said we needed to do another trial as it has been a while (it has been just over a year since my daughter passed/ we last boarded), and there would be no charge. I was fine with that and called a few days ago and arranged to do the trial today. My husband brought our dog mid morning (10ish) and I picked her up just before 4:00. When I arrived, I was informed immediately, and rudely, that they made a mistake and they would have to charge me. I was at first pretty measured in response and I explained that I was told there would be no charge, told a trial was necessary and that it was a big inconvenience for us to bring our dog there and pick her up. I didn't say what I was thinking, that it is absolutly bizarre and unacceptable to tell a customer one thing and then change after the fact. It is very bizarre to put any of the burden of that on the customer. The attitude back was of impatience and like I should have known better and I was told our dog didn't need a trial after all. She ultimately waved the fee and apologized, but it was an apology that sounded more like, "f-u" (we all have those relatives that say sorry but the tone of voice and attitude in no way means sorry). There was more back and forth than I would have liked (me telling her that she was incredibly rude). The entire conversation was like talking to a haughty 14 year old with a bad attitude, insisting she was apologizing while her attitude and other statements were contrary to an apology. The best she could do at one point is to justify herself was we "left our dog too long", that daycare is only four hours. I let her know no one informed us of this (they just said to drop our dog of for a trial day), so I had no way to know that. Anyway, I have canceled our booking, scrambled to book with a competitor and I'm really disappointed to lose this place as a resource. This was a real waste of my day and a negative interaction for all parties. I hope this business can turn it around. Based on my interaction today, and the other reviews I see here, I think cameras are needed at this business to monitor what is happening with dogs behind closed doors. Even if improvements are made, they are rapidly losing customer confidence.
I have referred so many of my clients to the Little Dog Lounge. Especially clients new to the area looking for a great place for their special friends. The staff at the Little Dog Lounge treats every dog like family. I highly recommend ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
BEST groomer ever!! Lucy is seriously the best ever and my dog LOVES going. He always looks fabulous after but seeing how well lucy takes care of and loves my dog seals the deal. I’ve had some pretty traumatic experiences with other groomers in the area so I am so happy to have found Lucy.
The best upscale spa for dogs staff is great my poor chihuahua finally has his eyes cleaned no one else could get this done . Owner was extremely helpful and the place was beautiful Thank you to the LDL team.
