Dog Sitters in Mineral Springs, AL

I can't say enough good things about Magnolia Mutts! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that they truly care about the dogs. The facility is clean, well-organized, and full of fun toys and play areas. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and provide updates about my babies day. They always comes home happy and tired from all the playtime and socialization. I appreciate the daily photos and updates that let me see how much fun they’re having. Magnolia Mutts has become a second home for my babies, and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care and attention they receive. We love this place!!!! Highly recommend!

Magnolia Mutts is the best doggy daycare around!!! Winnie has been going here for almost a year. Each experience has been great, and I know my pup is getting the best care and so much love!! Plus they take pics everyday - they’re so cute and you can tell they have the best time 🥰 …

Absolutely awful. Picked up our doodle after a 2 night stay. His nose is cut and scalped, fur is completely missing and it’s still red. When I arrived, he was soaked, completely saturated though the ground is dry outside. I was told it’s because he went to potty in the rain - again the ground is dry and he is literally soaking wet and smells atrocious. I was told he wasn’t left outside yet another customer picked up right after me and was told all of the dogs are boarded outside. It’s summertime in Alabama, why would you board dogs outside. My dog also wears a Fi collar daily and it is VERY accurate. I had to contact the facility while I was away as it was clear he was not being tended to. He was inactive for an extended period. After complaint, I received a call that his collar had detached and was in a bucket. Again, this makes no sense. Anyone with a Fi collar knows this very well and just how much detail they provide. I do NOT recommend this facility to anyone. Let’s stop getting in the business of and hiring people to care for animals who have no compassion or desire to properly care for them.

I used Magnolia Mutts for boarding and daycare in the past for my dog Molly. The staff were always fantastic! Molly has some separation anxiety and they were very patient with her when I dropped her off in the mornings. I loved how they would post stories of the dogs throughout the day on social media and would make one big social media post every afternoon. It was great to see Molly play and interact with other dogs. There was one incident when Molly was boarded while I was on vacation where she broke her toenail (pretty common thing from my understanding). They fixed her up and notified me immediately explaining what happened and the steps they took to make she was taken care of. I always knew was in the best of hands while she was there. I would recommend Magnolia Mutts to anyone who would listen!!

We initially had to drag my Great Dane pup into daycare for the first few visits because he was terrified. They socialized him so much that he now runs back and leans (and loves) on all the girls before leaving. It is so very precious. He also less skittish at home with new people since attending day care. 10/10 service! My family loves everyone at Magnolia Mutts. 💙❤️🐶

It’s always nerve-wrecking to trust anyone new with your pets. My fur babies absolutely love coming here! Anytime we pull into the parking lot they automatically start whining trying to get to the door as fast as they can. Additionally when we get inside they are immediately recognized and loved on by the staff - it’s like a reunion every time. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, and update me anytime I check in on them. The pictures on their social media give me sense of comfort as well to see my babies enjoying their time away from home. I will recommend this place to anyone looking for a trustworthy place with staff that love on and truly care about the well being of your babies as much as you.

I called and spoke with someone yesterday about doing a temperament test for my girl, I talked to someone about making a reservation for in the morning as I had to work. At no point did the person on the phone tell me they're not open until 3. Even more, I was able to reserve a time from 7AM-10AM even though they don't open until 3PM. What's better, is you have to submit it for approval. It was then APPROVED, and I received an additional email telling me so. After a 14 hour shift, I slept a total of four hours so I could make sure my girl gets this temperament test and I can return to work for another long shift. Color me surprised when I arrive at 7AM and there's not a soul in sight and no one answering the phone. I was excited to board my dog here because the reviews were mostly good, however the oversight today absolutely wrecked my trust before we could even get started.

Our dogs are currently being boarded at magnolia mutts. They are 7 years old and have never been left anywhere other than with us. The team helped make the transition easy for them and has answered all my questions along the way. They’ve kept me updated on any bump or scratch my rough playing dogs acquire and have eased my mind in having left my dogs in the care of someone else. We 10/10 recommend this place! That fact that they post pictures all through out the day has really made our day!

Boarded my dog for 5 nights, was very nervous because this was the longest we had been away from her so far. Magnolia Mutts did a fantastic job of keeping us updated with pictures and info while we were gone. I was very confident Maggie was in good hands! They let her play all day in doggy day care and took care of her at night. I have no doubt Maggie had a blast and will be excited to return for our next trip. They loved her as their own!

I have been bringing my dog to Magnolia for about 20 months now. I will admit I was very apprehensive at first as I’ve never brought my 6 month puppy anywhere. From the beginning they answered all my questions and ensured his safety and fun! I use them for daycare weekly and have used them for boarding a few times. At daycare I know he is playing well and safe as he is tired and happy when he gets home. I love the updates provided through multiple platforms including Facebook (multiple pictures of him get posted every day). I also love the relationships I have with each worker as I know they will truthfully tell me how he’s doing. While boarding I have called for updates and they always answer the phone (even ten minutes after opening they are on it :) ) & above amazing love and care you can’t beat the price of magnolia! The repeatedly offer daycare packages and other ways to make it THE MOST affordable daycare place in the surrounded bham areas. And I have looked from south of the city to north of the city. Without hesitation I will firmly say MANGOLIA MUTTS IS THE PLACE TO STAY

Our dog, Herbert, is almost 3 and has been coming to WTD since he was a little puppy! As soon as we roll down the window driving near, he knows where he is and where he is going. He always leaves exhausted but happy! Whether it is daycare or boarding, I always have a peace of mind knowing he is taken well care of by the staff. The staff knows me by my face whenever I drop off or pick him up! Very thankful for We Talk Dog!

Our Golden, Loki, loves We Talk Dog. He doesn’t willingly go anywhere without me, but once he gets to daycare at We Talk Dog, he forgets he doesn’t like to go places without my wife and I. Before we started bringing him here, we tried a few other doggie daycare places, and it was like pulling teeth to get him to stay, but not here, where he thinks everyone is his best friend. He comes home happy and tired— the one time he didn’t come home happy, he was sick, and even then they did everything in their power (along with the vet) to figure what was wrong with our sweet boy. I could go on all day about the quality of care, and how wonderful the people are here, but that would be a book. Bottom line: we trust them for daycare and boarding and don’t even think twice about other options.

You dont have enough stars for WTD. My dog, "the dude,"loves it. He comes home spent out. From playing all day. The groomer, Kacey, was voted birminham's best. Can't say enough about them.

If I won the lottery, We Talk Dog would be the first to know because my dogs would be there every day. Buckle up for a story about my journey to We Talk Dog (WTD). Before starting at WTD, my dog Trooper had never attended daycare. He had been boarded at another facility, which I won’t name— you’ll soon understand why. All I ever wanted for my baby Trooper was a safe place where he could go to daycare. So, when I finally graduated from professional school and started my first "big girl" job, we began researching options. As I mentioned earlier, I had previously boarded Trooper at another facility. Although I didn’t have any major issues with them, the location was about 20 minutes in the opposite direction of my work. For convenience, I decided to look for a closer option and landed on WTD based on their reviews. I reached out, completed the paperwork, and set up his temperament test. One day, I needed to get Trooper out of the house due to some work being done. Since he hadn’t had his temperament test yet, I knew he couldn’t go to WTD. I contacted the previous facility to see if they could take him for daycare. To my surprise, they told me he wasn’t allowed back due to his behavior and some “incidents” that had occurred. I was utterly confused since I had never been informed of any issues. Every time I picked him up, they praised him, and I never suspected anything was wrong. I started to panic because on the WTD intake form, I described Trooper as the sweetest little angel with no issues! I immediately called WTD and explained the situation. To whoever that sweet soul was who answered the phone—thank you. I don’t remember your name, but you patiently listened to me sobbing and reassured me. I felt terrible for not accurately portraying Trooper's potential behaviors (even though I was never informed about them), and I wasn’t sure what to do. Should I still go through with the temperament test? (Mind you, he passed the test at the other place.) Should I just give up and accept that my dog can’t be in daycare? The person I spoke with calmed me down (thanks for the therapy session) and suggested we go ahead with the test. They explained that if a dog isn't fit for daycare, WTD offers training to address behavioral issues instead of simply turning them away. Well… between his temperament test and this conversation, I decided on a whim to rescue a stray dog who had been roaming Irondale for about a month. After some effort, I finally captured him, and he became a foster fail. This new addition is named Archie, and he now also comes to WTD! In the midst of all this, Trooper, being his special self, had to undergo not one, but two temperament tests. Ultimately, it was decided that Trooper isn’t quite ready for daycare and may never be. However, the difference between WTD and the other facility is that WTD offered me training and guidance. So currently, Trooper receives training at WTD (which he loves) while Archie enjoys daycare. Archie and I also participate in their group classes, which I highly recommend! My boys LOVE WTD. They know every Wednesday is daycare day—they follow me around and cry the whole way there. They come home exhausted and happy. I’m so grateful to We Talk Dog for always taking great care of my babies and for their outstanding communication and dedication to dogs. If you’ve been considering boarding or sending your dogs to daycare, I highly recommend looking into WTD.

Took the dogs for their grooming appointment here and they look like new puppies!! We have been to other groomers but the previous one was booked out for months and We Talk Dog had availability. These are long haired, double coated dogs and the groomer did an INCREDIBLE job. They were cleaned and trimmed from their nose to their toes and smelled amazing 🐶

My Sunny girl loves it here! The staff is always friendly and they know Sunny by her name when she walks in the door which makes me feel real good! There are tons of dogs for her to play with outside. There are tables and obstacles for the pups to play on and around and there’s always hype music playing! I wish I could play there all day! 🤣 Sunny’s WORN OUT when she gets home and that tells me she’s had a great day!

We absolutely love We Talk Dog!! Our dog Mo has the best time socializing with the other dogs. He plays so hard and is always exhausted when he gets home. We know he is in heaven there. All of the staff is so helpful, kind and loving. They know these dogs so well and go above and beyond for them. We are lucky to send our pup here!!

We Talk Dog is the absolute best! They take such wonderful care of our dogs Marley and Daisy! Whether it’s daycare or boarding for a week, I know that our dogs will always be taken care of and in good hands. Everyone that works at WTD is so kind and seems to truly love their job and all the dogs. I highly recommend We Talk Dog to anyone in need of daycare, grooming or boarding for their dogs.

The absolute best place in Birmingham to board, groom, daycare, and get your dog trained. With very knowledgeable staff who absolutely LOVE dogs! Your dog will spend the majority of their time out of kennels in play groups. So when they get home they are relaxed and tired. I always know my Cora is well taken care of here.

We LOVE We Talk Dog!! We sent our 14 week old puppy, Ellie, for a week of "Puppy Jump Start" training at WTD. The socialization and obedience training gave her the skills and confidence to become a great companion. Ellyn (the head trainer) is a pleasure to work with, and Ellie absolutely adores her! Ellyn has been an invaluable resource for us first time dog owners and has gone above and beyond to help us train Ellie. Additionally, she has helped us teach Ellie how to get on a paddleboard! Whatever unique goals you have for your dog, WTD can help you accomplish them. While Ellie stayed at WTD, she also had a great experience with the groomers and the daycare. The staff at WTD is attentive, caring, and experienced. Highly recommend!
