We went on vacation out of state for a wedding and have not left our dogs at an overnight facility in several years. We were super nervous! The Dog Lodge was very accommodating and kind and did everything to put our minds at ease without making us feel embarrassed about it. They answered all of our phone calls and texts and sent photos! The girls came home with a sweet report card as well as a bath. We liked that you can bring their beds from home. The price is exceptional for the service provided. Our dogs had a great time and we will happily use them again!!
The dog lodge was incredible. We have an 8 month old Lab named Georgia and it was are first time boarding her for a few days! She had the best time and made many friends. They sent us videos of her playing with other friends and updated us on how she was doing. When picking up Georgia, she was freshly bathed and nails had been trimmed. All her bedding and toys were returned. She was so happy and healthy. When we got home she was exhausted and took a long nap. We love the dog lodge and Georgia does too! We will definitely be using them again in the future!
This place is the definition of above and beyond. They had my Pyrenees/Bernedoodle in for a week and took way better care of him than ever expected. McKale personally texted me when my dog had a couple foxtails stuck in his coat and they plucked them all out and sent me updates during my whole trip. Seriously amazing service, I would recommend them to anyone and will be using The Dog Lodge again next time!
I almost don’t want to leave a hood review because I don’t want it to get too popular here but they definitely earn their status! You’ll probably want to create an account and book in advance for your pup as everytime I’ve been there they’ve been really busy or full. The workers are great with the dogs and keep a vigilant eye out. Looking forward to more daycares and boardings.
Highly HIGHLY recommend Dog Lodge!! I was a nervous wreck leaving my dog to go on vacation. After tying several places for my dog to go, I found the Dog Lodge. I am soooo thankful I did! The staff has been absolutely amazing with my dog. They are super attentive to his needs and have consistently kept in touch with me to share how he is doing!! This has been so wonderful!!! I highly recommend them!
This is my go-to place for dog sitting when I am out of town and can't take my furry friends. They always remember my dogs name and are very polite. Once when my puppy was bitten by another dog, they immediately took her to a vet and tried to call and email me. I was out of the country with no service and they took care of everything. The other dog's owner was billed for the vet services and banned from coming back to the Dog Lodge. They really do everything they can to make sure the dogs are safe and take care of them.
We always bring our doggo here, and he always leaves very happy and TIRED which is very difficult to do. 🥳 After a few days, they provide a wonderful bath and nail trim, and take care of all the dog needs. Our FAVORITE benefit of bringing our dog here is that he gets to play with all the other dogs (after a temperament check of the dogs) so they can have a great vacation too! They have separate sleeping areas, but overall the dogs are having the best time. I am extremely comfortable leaving my dog in their very capable hands.
We just had our first stay at The Dog Lodge and our pup loved it! The care he received was top notch. The rates and policies are all fair and transparent and they're happy to show you the operation so you can be comfortable leaving your furry family with them. We got video updates, could call to check in as needed and due to the length of stay we got a report card and a freshly bathed dog, which we really appreciated since they always get a bit funky and bathing the dog first thing upon arriving home after a trip is never fun. We really appreciate the flexible pickup and drop-off times, our old facility had very narrow open lobby hours which made travel planning tricky. Being away from home and his family is always a little hard on our dog, but he came back exhausted (as expected) and happy. We'll definitely continue boarding here in the future!
We couldn't take our dog here because he hasn't been neutered yet, but it was very clean and smelled good. The dogs all looked happy, and the staff we met were kind and very helpful trying to help us find other alternatives.
Truly can’t say greater things about McCall and her team. My dogs had an absolute blast, and this is the first time they’ve come back from a dog care center not smelling like urine and sweat. My pups were so happy and took the best nap of their lives after pickup 😂 It was so nice to get a report card too! …
Doggy's Big Day has been hiking my dogs for about 5 years now and they have been integral in their well being. They come and pick them up and drop them off so I never have to worry about coordination. All of their hikers are great and lovely with my Jolene and Lucy. This is made apparent by how absolutely thrilled they are to see every single one of them! The dogs come back tired and ready for a nice nap. I work from home so it gives me peace of mind knowing they are exercised and I keep continue to work. One other major bonus is that my dogs have always been very socialized with Linda's crew. They continually meet new dogs and practice good manners and boundaries. They do have a nice user-friendly app that allows me to inform the team of any changes to the regular schedule. They send photos after each hike which always shows how much FUN they are having! I am also very excited about their new offering - meet ups. It will be fun to meet the parents of the other dogs we see on their hiking photos. Thanks Linda, Rebecca, and team for being such an important aspect of my dogs life!
I've been a devoted customer of Doggy’s Big Day for 10+ years, and they have consistently delivered exceptional care for all of my dogs. This dog walking company is more than just a service provider; they've become an integral part of my pets' extended family. Their reliability is unmatched. Regardless of the weather or my ever-changing schedule, their team has always been there to ensure my dog(s) get the exercise and attention they need. It's this unwavering commitment that has kept me coming back year after year. What truly sets Linda and her team apart is the genuine love and care they exhibit towards every furry friend. Each dog is treated with individualized attention, and the walkers take the time to understand their unique personalities and preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a dog walking company that goes above and beyond in ensuring the well-being of your furry companions. Here's to many more years of exceptional service! 🐾✨
We are SO happy with both the training given to our Golden doodle as a new puppy and more recently, the dogsitting provided by Doggy's Big Day. We tried several alternative sitters or kennels but Kora has superceded all our expectations in providing love, safety and exercise for our now 5 year old fur-child. We KNOW our doggy is happy while we're away and that means WE'RE HAPPY. I give Doggy's Big Day 5 STARS !
I have been having Doggys Big Day take my dogs for weekly hikes since 2017. Linda has been so great with my dogs King and Jezebel. I have been out with my dogs and happen to run into Linda, my dogs will not leave her side. I have peace of mind that they are safe and carefully watched over and they have a fantastic time
I LOVE Doggies Big Day and so does my Buddy(the dog). Buddy is always patiently waiting to go on hike days and comes home exhausted. Linda and her team are a perfect fit for Buddy and us. We recommend them time and time again
We used Doggy's Big Day for the first time this past week and I am so impressed!! They were so easy to sign up with and instruct on what we need while we were out of town. They are true professionals, and I never once felt nervous or wondered if my dog was in safe hands. Thank you, Linda & team!
Doggy's Big Day is SLC's best kept secret. My dog loves hiking with this group and he is always tired out when he comes home. I used this service when I lived in SLC and now when traveling to SLC. The Hike Leaders come to my hotel and pick up my pup. take him out for a 1.5-2.0 hour hike/play session and then bring him back all for a very reasonable price. They go rain, snow or shine. They are very careful with the dogs and make sure all dogs are safe at all times. I cant wait to return to SLC and use this great service again!
This service is so perfect! Linda and her team make my puppies day. They are timely and have amazing communication. They also send photos after each outing that make me smile!
I've used Doggy's Big Day a few times when I've been out of town to check in while the friend/relative staying with my pups is at work or to stay at my house overnight. They do an exceptional dog of taking care of my special needs dogs, including one with a spinal injury who wears diapers. Most recently, we had Dot come and hang with them for an hour each day while we were out of town for a week. Dot is amazing! She was very attentive to our instructions and looked out for our house and dogs. I loved her visit updates and photos each day. I’d absolutely recommend Dot and Doggy's Big Day!
Doggy's Big Day has been part of our life for years! We love them. Linda always took great care of our little poodle and when our grandpup came to live with us, Doggy's Big Day has taken her hiking twice weekly. She is a beagle border mix with high energy and a desire to herd. She loves hiking and playing with all her friends. Linda has been great to accommodate our granddog. She was a rescue and had so many fears. Linda and her team have been patient and loving and our granddog is now confident and is even going in the water! Water was one of her biggest fears. Linda has worked with her so much. Thank you to Doggy's Big Day for all you do for us!
I absolutely love Aarf! I have had the opportunity to work as a hiker for this company AND have my dog be a client of this company and both experiences have been amazing. I have engaged with other hiking companies in the past and none of them live up to Aarf. I can confirm that Aarf makes sure all dogs are well taken care of, by ensuring that we get well trained dogs who get along well with others. If there is ever an issue, Aarf has always made sure to hike the dogs separately or advocate for its staff by encouraging additional training. My dog absolutely loves his hikes and I am so happy knowing how well cared for he is when I’m out during the week!
We love taking our gal here, and she has the best time. The staff treat her so well, and it's clear she's well-loved and enjoys the time she spends with other dogs there. They do a great job of updating us daily, and the report card/pictures are always a highlight for us when we're traveling. I'm glad we found this place, and we look forward to having our gal stay here more.
Aarf is an amazing company with great people. They pick up my dog from my house and take her on hour-long hikes with friends for the price of a day of daycare. I know she’s safe and having a great time, and she’s settled and only needs a relaxing walk when I get home - much more my style after a long day at work! They always send me a brief summary on their outing and pictures which really brighten my day. So thankful I found Aarf and I’d absolutely recommend them.
I have researched many different boarding places for my sweet Bella who was a rescue dog. I was hesitant to place her in a pound style care facility because she had already been locked up for several months before we rescued her and had mentally started to show extreme distress due to this. The other boarding places had only concrete for the dogs to mingle and allowed no toys and they were locked up at night in a cage with no staff onsite during sleeping hours. This is not what I wanted for my dog so I looked at Aarf house. Aarf house was different in a huge way. The business is a house with a big backyard of dirt and fake grass and a doggy door leading into the house where they can come and go as they please. They have a doggy swimming pool and a lot of toys for the pups to play with. The staff really seem to love the animals because my dog gets excited when I bring her there and it’s not because of the other dogs which she tolerates but really wants no part of their shenanigans. The staff are caring and watchful and the best part is they are there 24 hours a day. The night shift employee sleeps in a bed and the dogs are even allowed to sleep with them if they choose. They bring out more than enough dog beds though for everyone to have a comfortable bed. Just about everything is fine for the pets to lay on including the leather couches in the living room. The staff are trained in giving medication which my dog needs and they also gave her water separately because my pooch is weird and doesn’t like drinking from the communal water bowls. What really impressed me though was how watchful they are, they brought my dog into the off limits kitchen where they allowed her to have some alone time away from the others so she could nap in peace without the others bothering her. This meant so much to my wife and I that they even noticed she needed that. The report cards they give you for each day your dog is boarded is a nice touch and they are also honest with the report as they mentioned my dog didn’t eat her evening meal which I knew she wouldn’t. I couldn’t be happier with the experience we have had with Aarf house and I’m glad I found them. If you want your dog to feel like they are home then the Aarf house is for you.
We have finally found somewhere that we don’t have to feel guilty about leaving our dog when we go out of town! Our dog is like a child to us and we only want the best for him. AARF provides a level of care and communication that I have not experienced in another boarding facility. Rather than mosey around with half hearted supervision only to be put in a kennel later somewhere else, at AARF he went on daily hikes, played ball to his heart’s content, and even got his favorite butt scratches. ❤️ The report cards and pictures we received every day while away made me feel so much better knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for. Thank you so much to Susie and AARF for that peace of mind.
We LOVE Aarf! My sweet rescue dog is shy and had not stayed anywhere else since adoption a few years ago. I took her for a few play days before boarding for a weekend. She warmed up to them so quick. It is such a homie and welcoming environment. The staff are amazing. The daily report cards bring such peace of mind. I am so happy to have found such great care for my precious pup!
We love Aarf!! We have been doing their group dog hikes for a few months and our Lab boys have the best time. Remi, their usual dog hiker, is an absolute angel and our boys love her. She sends the sweetest updates with lots of photos after each hike. We would recommend Aarf to anyone!
Suzie and AARF Pet Care have been walking and staying with my dog Sadie for the last year+ and I can’t tell you how happy I am with their services. They are great with the animals, do a fantastic job communicating, and are nice people in general that really care about making sure your animals get what they need while you are away. I have tried several other services and daycares, none of which have delivered the same level of care that Suzie and company have. I would highly recommend AARF Pet Care if you are looking for quality care for your animals while you are busy.
Suzie and her team take excellent care of our pup when we can't be there with her and we never worry for a second. We know our dog is happy as can be playing in the mountains and spending time with other dogs. The added service of pickup and dropoff takes so much stress out of travel and we can't express our gratitude enough for these awesome folks. I just have to add that our pup stayed with Aarf for 7 days and returned happy and healthy. Suzie and staff really went the extra mile, noticing early on that our dog prefers the company of people over dogs and making every effort possible to get her more human contact. I got a report card daily with photos and a write up that demonstrated she was truly being cared for. I just appreciate them so much and, while the price is more than a standard kennel, the peace of mind knowing that my dog is happy and well taken care of instead of crammed in a cage is invaluable.
Suzie is so wonderful and patient hiking with and transporting our three high energy pups! They come back from hiking so happy and tired, and we love the photo updates. It's so nice to know they're out having fun while we are working.
Today I brought my pup in for a meet n greet. I felt the trainers were very conscientious of anxious dog behaviors. They asked good evaluation questions and were very clear on the full evaluation steps. They took my pup back for evaluation without my present and then introduced him to 3 other dogs in their toy box room before taking him to the larger play area. They were able to communicate his test results and their thoughts on how well my pup would acclimate. For additional context: My pup is about 1.5 years old, cautious of new environments and people, Familiar with other dogs and playing in open spaces off leash. He knows basic commands and is crate trained. I have been consistently taking him to my workplace where he can and has played with my coworkers dogs. So he does have some familiarity with open play spaces. I was a little hesitant to enroll him in puppy daycare, but ultimately was hoping that by taking him to puppy daycare, he would become more socialized and comfortable around other people and other dogs while getting some exercise. Their trainers really put me at ease because I was concerned that my dog would be too cautious and too shy. But their awareness to the variety of dog personalities that they discussed with me gave me reassurance that they are capable to care for my pet. They discussed the process, pricing and daily routine while my pup was in evaluation. Their prices are weekly rates, I found them to be fairly priced. I also like their location as it is near the freeway so easy drop off. After the meet n greet I was able to leave him for the day to play while I went to work for the day. Long review, but I do think the details will be helpful for anyone considering Dogtopia as a dog daycare for their pet. I plan to update my review in the coming weeks on how my pup does.
Sketchy location, needles outside the door. A bunch of teenagers run the place. I did not feel safe leaving my dog in their hands. Staff were checked out and I heard a dog make a shrieking noise in the back multiple times.
Very friendly and professional staff who genuinely care about my pup. I feel that he is always in a safe loving environment at this location. Plus, he gets so excited to visit every time. Absolutely love the webcam feature so I can check in at my convenience, and really appreciate the reports/updates each day when I pick him up. Couldn’t be happier and cannot recommend Dogtopia Midvale enough.
Dogtopia as a company is amazing all the lady's are great super sweet. But I will no longer be bringing my dog to this location because the male trainer they have lifted my dog completely off the ground by her collar. Because she kept spilling the water bowl. Once the daybreak location opens I will go there. But she will not be back to midvale dogtopia because I don't feel safe leaving here there now.
We love Dogtopia! They are so friendly and the facility is clean. The webcam service to view your dogs is also a great benefit. They had quality play time with our dog and fed him his lunch. We will be coming back for day care going forward.
I've had my pup here since they opened, there are always new opening 'bugs' but they have been really kind and tried hard to keep open communication. He is super happy everyday when I bring him here, unlike the last place he was at. I'm very happy with the change. Thank you for taking good care of my dog!
Dogtopia has been such a great thing for me and my dog, who can't contain his excitement when I ask him if he wants to go to Dogtopia! The staff is great and I am constantly impressed with them and how they remember me and my dog despite there being plenty of other dogs there. They are super responsive to my calls and appointment requests. I can't recommend Dogtopia of Midvale enough!
Very unprofessional - sent me to manager not on premises to talk to who somebody answered unprofessional and manager was too busy to meet n greet and when I called back they said they didn’t even have the dates available that I initially asked for before wasting 15 min of my time to register a don’t waste time registering online - they don’t have staff to care for your needs. Find a dog sitting company that actually cares and is available to care for your furry baby. We went else where after wasting our time registering and being told they can’t accommodate what we registered for and booked. Probably need to take down online booking system -
My dog is a two year old labrador who is not familiar with dog care. and I took her in today for meet and greet and she got denied to be there because she got too excited and I understand that they want to keep all the dogs safe but I left there feeling like we weren’t good enough for that place and my dog is a puppy and that’s the whole reason I went there to get help with her! It made me feel really bad like I’m a bad dog owner or something like if I had a kid going to daycare in my kid wasn’t good enough for that place and I don’t think that’s fair
My girl loves Dogtopia!! She gets excited when we start heading to her play days. When we pull up, she gets crazy happy. She pulls me and jumps super high, trying to get to the door faster. She is super happy to see whoever is going to take her back to see her friends. I must say that from the beginning at the Holladay Dogtopia, I was a bit nervous. She is a super hyper husky and had been turned down at other doggy daycares because she is also vocal. She made friends with human Laken. Laken also moved to Midvale (which is so close to my Healing Center), and we couldn't be happier. Laken always lets us know how much she loves our baby!! We love Laken!! My girl always comes home tired, even falling asleep in the car on the way home. I love to watch her during the day on the cameras. Everyone has been great to work with. Thank you, Dogtopia of Midvale!!
I have a little toy dog that has people issues. Maren and her staff at DogTown in Sandy are very patient with him and do not push him out of his comfort zone while he is there for daycare and boarding. Anthony has groomed him twice. He's come home looking adorable and not stressed. I've worked with Maren for training. She's amazing! She is very knowledgeable. Since she takes the time to get to know his needs and personality, I've been given very useful and successful training methods that are custom fit to him. I repeat ~ custom fit. Do I recommend DogTown, Anthony, and Maren? Absolutely 100%
This is the best place to take your doggies for day care, boarding, training, and grooming. I absolutely adore these people. Before I found them I took my pups to boarding place last minute and cried when I drove away because I didn’t like them. I call dogtown summer camp, because they send you daily report cards of your dogs with pictures and captions and you can tell they really care. It’s like dropping your dog off at a friends house! Also they did a great job giving Milo his first hair cut. They boys come home happy and exhausted from playing every time we take them 💕 (these pictures were attached to milos report card from his very first day care experience)
First of all, I want to say that I have waited a couple of days before writing this to let the emotions subside so I can be objective. I have a 8 yr old shorkie who is an inside dog. He is groomed regularly and has been boarded several times at The Dog Park by the airport. We have never encountered a problem with boarding. This summer we decided to look for a boarding location closer to where we live. After visiting several locations in Sandy we chose to board our dog at Dogtown Pet Spa. He was there for a total of 11 days. When I dropped him off the employee had me take off his leash and collar. Then she took him behind their gate. To both of our surprise, our dog jumped over their counter and ran to me. This should have been my first indication that safety was not a priority. Over the time our dog was there we got daily updates on his nails, skin, teeth etc. The only item of concern was as he has a little tarter build up on his teeth. We felt reassured of his wellbeing and looked forward to the pictures we received. When I returned to pick our dog up he had been given a complimentary bath (per their policy of a free bath after 7 days of boarding), and his nails had been trimmed. The employees let him out of the gate without a leash and he was so excited he ran to the door to leave. I struggled getting his collar and leash on because he was so excited to leave. Again, not the safety I would have expected. Also, while I was settling the bill, we were expecting to pay for the nail trim, but I was told that part of our deposit would cover it and the remaining $73 would be saved to our account for the next service. That was a surprise not to get refunded. Later at home my daughter noticed little “black seeds” on our dog. We thought maybe he had been in a bush and had gotten some in his hair. However, later the next day I was petting him and I could feel several bumps. I was able to use my nails to pull something resembling a black seed off him. I looked closer at it and noticed it was moving! So I put it in a bag and continued to find at least 12 more of the same bug. I called our vet who said they thought it sounded like fleas. I immediately went to buy some shampoo and spray to get rid of the bugs. At the pet store the only shampoos that were sold were for ticks and fleas. So we bathed, sprayed, our dog and cleaned everything in the house he had touched. The next day I took the bag to The Dogtown pet spa and showed them what I had found. There was no manager there so the employee tried to help. She was texting her manager and took a picture of the bag of bugs. To my disgust the employee told me that her manager said the bugs were lice, not flees. The employee googled dog lice and told me it took 7-10 days for the lice to become the size they were in the bag. I pointed out that was the entire time my dog was I. Their care. She said I could come back the following day to talk to the manager about it. While driving back to PetSmart to try and find a lice shampoo, the manager called. She immediately became defensive and said that our dog already had the lice before coming to them. She argued with me for at least 10 minutes before I asked what she would be willing to take responsibility for. She agreed to refund the $73 they kept from our deposit and offered a free lice bath and spray. I found the safety, professionalism and empathy to be lacking with the entire experience. If our dog had lice before he came, then the employees were negligent in the care my dog received by reporting he was in good health for all 11 days he was there. I WOULD NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY WITH MY DOG AGAIN!
Dogtown is the best! Not only do my dogs love going there to play, their training program is amazing! We did the 5 week private lessons with our reactive dog and we couldn’t be happier with the progress Maren has helped up to make. We went from our dog walking us around the neighborhood and barking at other dogs to him being stable and confident. He enjoys walking next to us on a loose leash and he is so much happier with the boundaries we have set for him. Thank you so much Maren and everyone at Dogtown, you guys are amazing!
dogtown is the best!! anthony does a great job grooming my dog. you can tell he really cares for the dogs he grooms, and he takes his time to understand what you want your dog to end up looking like. i love how fresh and clean my dog is after every groom. he always smells so good and not like wet dog. i would highly recommend dogtown to anyone!!! 10/10
I brought my Pomeranian Yoshi in for his temperament test here and they was so warm and welcoming. My yoshi passed his test and will be boarding here while we are on vacation. I just wanted to say I appreciate the kind and calm atmosphere for the pups.
Great trainers . My dogs completed a three week training course .They been patiently working with our stubborn ,14 year old border collie . Very pleased with the trainers ,facility. And their grooming services . Our Border Collie got her very first short trim . The groomer did an excellent job😃 …
Brandie at Dog Town is an awesome groomer! She is so personable, loves your animal, and does a great job. She’s been grooming my little Sophie for some time now and we just love her! It’s hard to find a groomer that knows how to take care of a Maltese in long coat. ❤️🐾❤️
I was hesitating to write this review, but it is worth it if it is for them to improve, I took my two dogs for grooming service and I ended up disappointed. After they had been there for five hours, having delivered reference photographs and being very specific with what I wanted, they delivered them to me nothing close to what I asked for, if they were somewhat tangled and I paid an extra fee for it, but they were not bad as to make them completely hairless, and the next day noticing that my dog has a skin allergy probably caused by the blades they used to cut his hair, I wanted this place to like me, Sabrina offered to try to fix the irregular parts of the cut and was very kind and apologized for the inconvenience, but I don't want to go back, I wanted me to like it and always take my dogs there, but it's not going to happen, I feel that they should improve customer service, not only be an answer of sorry but to seek to reach a middle ground with a client who is not happy at all with what he is paying, who in the end feels that it was a waste of time and money, I have read good reviews, such as lousy. Apparently it is an experience that you love, or where you never want to return, in my case the second one.. they were uneven parts that I notice the minute I see the dog, is about how diligent you can be with customers and how you deal with the situations, customer is not always right, and you probably know better, but if I was really specific with what I wanted, why don’t you call first if I was okay with completely shave one of my dogs if I was so specific with how I wanted his hair? And how would you fix a completely shaved dogs with completely shaved eyebrows? I know you offer to cut the missed parts, but just that, and nobody mention any upgrade, you mention that I would have to be at 8 to leave my dogs with the same groomer otherwise if it’s other groomer you will have to charge me again, so I’m guessing that groomers don’t work for your establishment and you just rent them the space if that was the answer, because that Answer is that the business is not taking care on anything.. I definitely believe that you need to assume your mistake and not having a p/a response with customers, and don’t try to justify your mistakes after.. was not a great experience for me, can be for other people and not for me, and I didn’t say anything about how you made me go for a temperament appointment that at the end you wanted to do 5 hours later when was suppose to be the first thing and why I leave them there so early. Anyway, don’t bother, you will keep working the way you are doing it cuz for you the mistake was mine
We LOVE Dogtown! Not only is their daycare/boarding absolutely amazing, we just went through a wonderful training program with Maren. She did a great job helping us guide our dog through some reactivity issues, as well as some obedience training. She helped us to positively enforce guidelines with our dog in a patient manner. We can't wait to continue working with her in the future!
Everyone here is so great, they always take the time to tell me about how my dog Wayne did that day. It's really clear that everyone is committed to doing a great job and treating the pups like they are family. The enrichment activities are very sweet, and I love the photos they send me after.
Two day stay at Camp Bow Wow Sandy turned into eight puncture wounds to my dog’s neck, throat and leg after an unprovoked attack from an aggressive malamute. $270 vet bill. Dangerous dogs here. Be careful with your fur babies. ❤️🦮🐶🐾
My girl Kitty is always well taken care of. This is our 3rd location to visit (Michigan, Texas, Utah). Everywhere she goes she makes friends and usually becomes a staff favorite. The enrichment and pics that follow shows me she's having fun and I couldn't ask for anything more. Whether its boarding or day camp it's a relief being able to see the cameras and know what she's up to. No matter where we end up (I travel for work) I will ALWAYS find a camp bow wow for her.
This location has a high turnover rate because of the lack of preparation employees have for the job role. There are consistent issues that are so bad I was told to quit by multiple people including the manager. Someone also told me to be prepared for dogs to pass away on my shift?? I've never had such high anxiety working anywhere in my entire life, it's great for the dogs but I wouldn't reccomend working here. They don't cut checks on time for quitting employees and lie about the pay rate they'll give you on hire. Also, please bear in mind this is the ONLY Camp BowWow franchisee that I have gotten consistently good news about when it comes to dogs!! I saw them perform dog safety checks without flaw! Prioritize meds for dogs who need them on the dot and providing essential information about dogs during shift changes. I wouldn't be more confident leaving my dogs anywhere else!
It was wonderful to see how well my dog adjusted to the day camp and how well she did because she has separation anxiety, but she did wonderfully, and the staff is amazing. They are so friendly and they are so good with every single dog you’re able to watch it on video camera from the lobby and it’s just a wonderful thing for animals. I truly believe, that dogs should have some type of doggy daycare just to enrich them if nothing else
My dog Indy loves camp bow wow! And so do I. The dogs are always well taken care of and I love that I can peek in on him throughout the day on the cameras. Not only that, but they offer boarding, grooming, nail trimming, and vaccination services. Plus they have great enrichment packages! Indy loves his pup cups but nothing beats sniffing hide and seek for treats.
What happens if my dog changes owners? This is a Korean puppy that is very difficult to adapt to. The name is Jindol. I have also tried living in several different dog hotels. But I couldn't adapt well. Cam Bow's dog hotel in Sandy was the best. They know the child's personality very well and take very good care of him. I am also in Korea now. I am leaving the dog for a month. I am grateful and grateful for taking such good care of the dog.😁
We have brought our dogs to Camp Bow Wow for a few years and the dogs have always loved going and I knew they were in good hands. When our dog Desmond passed away I was really moved by their kindness and came to understand that not only did they take care of our dogs but they got to know them and loved them as well. The note they wrote to us when Desmond passed made my heart so happy to know that while he was in their care he was loved. Thanks so much for taking care of our best friends, your generosity and opening your hearts and loving our dogs while they are with you.
I highly recommend their training!!! I took on 2 rehomed German Shepherds. I wasn't sure I would be able to keep them both after dealing with some issues causing stress and financial strain. Training with Mark at Camp Bow Wow has given me so much hope and excitement for our future. I purchased one private lesson package of 6 lessons. Life Changing!! I will be purchasing another package to continue growing as a unified team (me and my shepherds). I hesitated posting this as I don't want the trainer to get too busy lol. But I'm so grateful I had to share.
We attempted to do a Dog interview. After reading the reviews and pictures of animals being attacked in the Sandy, UT city facility I decided to call and ask some questions . The staff member gave zero F’s And canceled my appointment***** Consumer beware******not only the lack of concern from the staff is beyond disgusting but some of the vicious animals that they “screen” Are still active customers (read all reviews) By the way, YOU get to pay for your pets injuries So make sure you have some damn good pet insurance. If the owner of this facility review sees this, train your staff to be a professional And have some sort of script when your customers or potential customers call in with concerns. The lack of professionalism is disgusting to say the least.
Our pup Bash has stayed multiple times at Bark City now, and we’ve had nothing but great experiences! Great customer service, and great communication! We love all of the add on services and take advantage of getting the daily pup-dates and daily walks! They always make us feel like they love having him stay there, which is such a relief when boarding your dog! Highly recommend.
My puppy Moe enjoyed his 2 week stay at bark city lodge. They were amazing with him and provided updates while we were on vacation. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future.
WE LOVE BARK CITY. Stark, our 3 year old German Shepherd, has had long stays (1 week or more) twice now. August 2023 and the first week of MAY 2024. When Stark first came to Bark City we were still administering her medications for a skin infection. Bark City gave her all of the meds required and followed the instructions I had written out and supplied with her food. It was comforting to know that the staff was very thorough and competent in helping her heal and feel better. Bark City also does an excellent job keeping us updated on Stark. We receive photo and video updates and she always looks so relaxed and happy. On her latest visit, she got to play outside with the hose on a hot day. It definitely made us feel less guilty for being on vacation because it seemed she was on one as well. We will continue to use Bark City for our grooming and boarding needs. We do not trust her with anyone else.
1. We explicitly instructed a medication be given to one of our dogs, even putting it in a separate bag with the date and time it needed administered. It was still in the bag when we picked them up. 2. One of our dogs has laryngeal paralysis and needs a slow-feeder bowl, which we provided, or she could choke to death. When we picked them up, they could not confirm the bowl was always used. 3. The last two times we've picked up the dogs, they've had feces on them and didn't bother to clean it before we picked them up. When we saw it, again, we had to ask if it can be cleaned. Even still, we ended cleaning it up. 4. It's very disorganized. When we called to change dates for pick-up, they confirmed it; however, they called us on the original date asking if we were going to pick them up. 5. After picking them up, we noticed one of the dogs' tail tip was bleeding and was not addressed. All this said, we fear for our dogs' well-being at this business. Service and quality have seriously degraded lately. UPDATE: We received a call from Bark City management. They seemed genuinely concerned and are taking steps to remedy the issues. Thank you for personally addressing this.
If you are looking for a place to trust with your dog, this is it! The staff absolutely showed their expertise in handling our high energy labradoodle. He’s a big goofball and obviously had a great time while we were away! We will definitely visit this business on the regular.
We were nervous to board our pup for the first time because he is not the most friendly. The staff was great and our dog warmed up to them by the end of his stay. Bark City Lodge did an awesome job! We will definitely use them again!
I can't say enough good things about Bark City! The staff is incredibly caring and compassionate, and their expertise with all types of dogs and their behaviors is evident. Every time I visit, I feel confident that my furry kids are in the best hands. The team is super friendly and always goes above and beyond. Whether you're looking for a trustworthy place to leave your pets while you're away or just need top-notch care for your dogs, Bark City is the place to go. I especially appreciate how patient and understanding they are with my anxious, reactive dog. It’s the only boarding facility where we feel safe and comfortable leaving him. Highly recommend Bark City to anyone and everyone! 10 out of 10!
Our dogs have stayed at bark city lodge three times now, and most recently it was so we could welcome a new baby to the family. When we picked up the dogs they had given them a bath and made them look so cute to meet their new baby brother! We are so happy we found them and will continue to use them in the future!
We absolutely love Bark City and the care our little dog Skittles receives there when we go on vacation. They are so great with her, and Skittles gets so excited when she goes there! We are confident that she has a fun and safe retreat at Bark City. Thanks for taking such great care of Skittles!
We boarded our dog Lucy at Bark City Lodge while doing training with Sit Means Sit Dog Training. We were so very pleased with how happy, healthy and clean Lucy was when we got her home. We were so pleased we have scheduled with Bark City Lodge to board our sweet little Lucy this upcoming September when we take a family trip. We highly recommend them.
Happy paws were recommended by a friend, the old fashioned way 🙂 over 10 years ago, and we've been trusting them ever since! The cats are so much happier staying at home than in a boarding facility. Rick took the time before the first pet sit to come to come and meet our two cats and understand our set up, and any time we took a trip I knew they were in excellent hands. As well as feeding and playing with them, giving medication if required, he would water indoor plants, bring in the mail, all the little touches that made us feel our pets and home were in good hands. Prompt communication over text as needed, with occasional check in pics of the cats so we knew they were comfortable. I would 100% recommend this service for your pets, Happy Paws truly care for all the animals they work with.
We have used happy paws for about five years now. They are wonderful, extremely trustworthy, and very professional. My poochie loves it when I tell her Rick is coming. Her reaction which is a wagging tail and loud "talking" is proof she is well taken care of. I highly recommend happy paws!
Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus is absolutely amazing. They watched two of my dogs for years whenever I went out of town. One of my dogs was extremely anxious and I couldn’t trust many people with her. Rick and Yashara always did so well with her. I could relax knowing they were in safe and professional hands. As my dogs aged, they adjusted their care for them perfectly. I always received prompt and thoughtful updates as well. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely hire them in the future.
We feel really blessed to have found Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus! Rick has taken care of our animals for a few years now and we couldn’t be happier. I have been home several times when Rick has come and he is absolutely so kind to our animals-this company works from their hearts-they treat each of our animals the way they would treat their own. They are always very professional, focusing solely on our animals when they come-not distracted with their phones. We trust this company completely. They respond to messages promptly, let us know six months in advance about their yearly vacation. It is worth every penny to trust completely the people who take care of our fur children. We have been able to go on vacations, knowing our animals are in their own home being taken care of completely and lovingly. They are 100% reliable. They show up when they say they will-our animals are excited to see them so we know they enjoy their time together. Our 17 year old kitty is pretty shy but she doesn’t run and hide when Rick comes over-that’s huge & speaks for itself. We are so lucky to consider this company family. I’m not a review writer, however if I ever felt the need to write one, it is for this amazing duo that call them selves Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus-big on the PLUS-they water our flowers, come back several times a day when we are out of town, go over and beyond in taking care of our animals and our house, making sure our dog gets her dinner on time and always gets her medications too. Rick brings in our trash cans when he comes over and the cans are out, switches up the lights, our cat doesn’t have any teeth so she needs soft food daily and he makes sure she is loved up before he leaves, he spends time and doesn’t act rushed ever. If you have any doubts-just invite them over and watch as your most reluctant pets warm right up to Rick-we were sold the first meeting and truly do consider them family. There are not enough stars for these amazing people…⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
Libbie is amazing with our Hankey. They love each other and he gets so excited when he sees her. She’s very reliable and has been there when needed. Very easy to work with Happy Paws and I know my dog will always be taken care of (and cat when needed) and trust her 100% with him (I don’t trust a lot of people with him). I highly recommend Happy Paws Pet Sitting to anyone.
Love happy paws 🐾. They always take care of our dogs and cats when we are out of town. Our cat has diabetes and they give him insulin. We had a medical emergency, and they were able to take care of our dogs for a few days. Helped tremendously in a stressful time. We recommend Happy Paws 🐾!
My next door neighbors recommended Rick several years ago, as he had been taking care of their pets for several years. He has been watching my dogs for several years since, and I can only provide the highest praise and recommendation. Rick is a real professional who provides the consistency and flexibility I have been looking for all wrapped up with a great personal touch. I am now down to a single dog, and it is reassuring to know she being well taken care of while I am away. Highest marks!
I had Rick take care of my Sphynx female cat for over 4 years while I lived in Salt Lake City. Very happy with all my services. Rick has experience with all types of animals and breeds. Highly recommend!
I have been using Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus for the last two years and absolutely love their service. I have several animals that they take really good care of. They are very professional and charge a very reasonable price. I recommend them to all my friends!
I wish there were more than 5 stars. We went through several dog walkers before we discovered Libbie. I'm so grateful for the loving care she gives our dogs. She is responsive to their needs and ours. Our dogs were/are our first children and she treats them like her own.
My puppy Maisey has been going to daycare and doing some training at Liberty Bark. They take great care of her and her confidence around other dogs is getting better. I highly recommend this place! I love to see the photos they send of her with their pupdates! The staff is friendly and answers my questions. I really like their trainer Benny! The owner is really kind too. Maisey will continue to go here! The only thing I don't like is the red dirt they use. My dog is mostly white and comes home so stained. 🙃
Specter had such a good time here. He made so many friends specifically an Irish wolfhound and a bully breed looking dog along with a reddish dog. I was in Utah for national guard training I am very happy with them and the fact my dog had an amazing time
Fantastic day care and boarding! One of the best we’ve ever used. We moved our dogs from City Pet Club after our lab was bitten and they could not explain how or why, refused to talk to us regarding the possibility of a refund or paying at least part of the vet bill and literally did not return our calls. Night and day difference. Liberty Bark keeps you updated with photos, communicates with texts, and (most importantly) love the dogs as if they are their own. The structured day care is amazing and the option to have them trained while there during the day is amazingly affordable and so helpful. Love them!
I’ve boarded my dog here four times over the past 10 months. Twice were weekend trips and twice were 5+ days. She requires extra care as she can show reactivity with people and other dogs. The staff shows expertise in handling tricky dogs. They send daily photos included in the cost of boarding. They provide detailed progress reports if you pay the extra fee for them as well. My dog gets the opportunity to socialize in a safe environment and she comes back to me happy and tired. I so appreciate the care the staff provides for me to have peace of mind while out of town.
What an amazing place with amazing staff! We were having trouble finding a place to board our boxers for vacation (our sweet girl is not always so sociable with other dogs) and they graciously took them with no fuss. We got regular updates on their progress, and prompt communication about even the most minor issues that came up. We could tell when we picked them up that they were not starved for love or attention! We will definitely be taking them back for training and socialization!
Liberty Bark is without a doubt the best dog hotel I’ve ever taken my dog to! For nearly 3 years I struggled bringing my 100+ lb pitbull-mix around other dogs and would have to have him isolated from other dogs while at dog hotels when I left town. I decided to give Liberty bark a try and they have worked with him, helping him so much with his reactivity to other dogs and leash pulling. They know what they are doing and I can’t thank them enough for taking such amazing care my dog! I highly recommend them for overnight stays, daycare and training, especially if you have a dog who needs some extra attention / work.
I cannot recommend Liberty Bark enough! The staff there are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I have a 5 month old labradoodle pup who is tons of energy and in the process of learning good manners. They are all extremely patient with her. They also seem to care about her and the other dogs as if they are their own! I feel great dropping Scout off while I work during the week. I always get updates and pictures which is the highlight of my day! Thanks Liberty Bark! Yall rock.
I recently started using Liberty Bark for doggy daycare. It has been such a great experience for me and my dog. The staff are super awesome and caring. I love the pawgress reports and report cards. I have used other dog sitters in the Salt Lake area and non have been this great.
I’ve been terribly disappointed with Liberty Bark. They do not have cameras which is not inherently wrong, but they lack transparency, never inviting clients into the facility. You drop your dog off at the door. On several occasions, I was unable to reach someone via phone call (during business hours) while my dog was in their care. I was forced to use a text system, and no one would speak to me. Once was after they shared a photo of my dog where she was foaming at the mouth, and I called to check on her. I paid extra for report cards and received one photo each day without notes about how she was doing. Most notably, my dog hunkers to the ground and refuses to go inside without being carried. She is clearly fearful. When I’ve used other daycare and boarding services, she is excited to go in and never scared. Something feels very off about this facility, and I do not recommend it.
My very wonderful very covid puppy was given time to spend at Liberty Bark to mentally prep for a 9 day boarding experience. The amazing owner Liz and i came up with a plan that would help acclimate him to the experience. He feel in love with Liberty bark after the first minute. Now we have to spell it out to to avoid all the happy tippy taps. I get daily pup dates and live for every single one. He is learning good dog pack behaviors and when your baby is 100 pounds he needs to learn these skills. Could not speak higher even if i tried. They are all so wonderful.
My dog Thor and cat LC (Cuddles) love the folks at Sugar House Pets. Thor has been doing training with Tabitha and is a whole new dog, and LC just appreciates knowing she’s special. I had to be gone for almost two weeks and was worried about leaving them and SHP made the whole thing feel much less stressful. I love that they send several pictures and a little update with each visit. It goes a long way to ease one’s mind! Highly recommend them!!
Sugarhouse pets was a lifesaver for me and my dog during my work contract in Salt Lake. They took my pup out for a walk and potty, administered her medications, and gave her all the pets and love. They update you on the visit and send the cutest pictures as well. I am so thankful sugarhouse pets was able to help me and my dog while I was at work.
They have been incredibly flexible and caring when it comes to taking care of my dog. Scheduling is easy. The team is reliable. Very thankful to have Sugar House Pets around to help out with my chaotic schedule.
I have used Sugarhouse Pets to walk my dog and they have been exceptional! Kiana and Tabitha are punctual, text when they arrive to pick up and drop off my dog. They also give a detailed map and description of the walk with great photos. My dog returns happy and tired. I highly recommend their services!
Can always trust everyone at sugar house pets with our two kitties! They are so attentive and quick to respond if anything at comes up. Highly recommend them! 💛 …
I have been so pleased with everyone at Sugar House Pets. They've been an absolute lifesaver taking my dog out for walks on my long work days. They are incredibly responsive and trustworthy, and always send the cutest updates with pictures. It's super easy to book services on their website too.
We recently had the pleasure of using Sugar House Pets to take care of our dog, two cats, and fish during a 5-day trip, and we couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive to the needs of our pets. Three Visits a Day: They came to our home three times a day, ensuring that our pets were well taken care of and never felt lonely. This consistency was very comforting to us while we were away. Daily Updates: Every visit was documented with pictures and detailed messages. It was such a joy to receive daily updates and see how happy and well-cared-for our pets were. The detailed messages included information about their behavior, eating habits, and any other observations, which showed the high level of attention and care they provided. Peace of Mind: Knowing that Sugar House Pets was taking care of our beloved pets allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without any worries. Their dedication and love for animals truly shine through in their service. We highly recommend Sugar House Pets to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. They went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and healthy, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you, Sugar House Pets, for your outstanding service!
Sugarhouse Pets recently cared for my two dogs and cat for two days while I was out of town. I was pretty anxious about leaving my dogs for the first time home alone, but having the meet and greet beforehand, receiving the detailed updates about how they were doing, and what their visits were like made me feel so much better. All of the pictures I received while I was gone reassured me that my dogs were having a good time and were being well taken care of. I was expecting my dogs to be anxious when I came home due to the change in their routine, but they were just tired from playing with the sitters and happy to see me. I am super happy with the experience and Sugarhouse Pets will definitely be my go-to in the future!
I had Sugar House Pets take care of my cat when I went on a two-week vacation out of the country. They were very responsible to be there daily. They were great about following the instructions I left for my cat. They kept me notified with daily text as to what was happening with my cat. My cat is shy and won’t go to anyone. They made an effort to find her in the house and send me a pic of her every day, so I knew she’s was fine. That made me feel very good about her care. They were also very responsible with the security of my home. I recommend them to anyone who needs pet care. I will use them again. It’s a good feeling to know your pet is in good hands when your out of town.
I'm very picky on who I trust to take care of my Newfie Tate but Sugar House Pets has been amazing with him! They are skilled, responsive to questions, always on time, and keep me updated on everything that happens when it comes to taking care of my dog. I highly recommend!
