Fetch has taken amazing care of my animals. So prompt and caring. I will especially always hire then as long as Hannah is available.
I have really enjoyed my experience with Fetch. The platform is easy to use to request a pet sitter & they are prompt, reliable & provide detailed daily updates (with photos!) when they visit with our cats. Leaving your pets at home can be stressful but when they are under the care of the Fetch team i am never worried. Thank you!
I definitely recommend Fetch Pet Care to anyone looking for walk/sitter type services for their pet. Our experience specifically consisted of walks and visits at our home with our elder dog who can't be left at other places, and the sitters we had over the years were very professional and became very close to her. They went above and beyond and provided great comments about how our girl was doing and how the visit went, including very cute pictures. Definitely recommend!
Fetch always has great sitters for my pet. I trust them to send only caregivers who truly love my animals as much as we do! Have been a customer for over 4 years and although my sitters/walkers have changed, the excellent care and peace of mind I have leaving my pets with my Fetch sitter has never waivered. My current sitter, Faith, is an absolute dream! I highly recommend Jay and his team to find you a great sitter. Fetch is so easy to schedule and work with! Never a problem.
I’m very happy I found Fetch! And so is my Beagle! They are trustworthy and reliable and the services I need are very easy to customize. I really love that sitters send very thorough updates with photos each time they visit. Like the app too. I am very comfortable with this team in my house, taking great care of my dog. Highly recommend!!!
My sitter goes the extra mile to make sure my kitty can stay in his comfy environment while we are gone. She even helps feed my feral cats outside. Love that I get a daily photo and sweet comments about my little buddy while I’m gone. Couldn’t be happier with the service and convenience that Fetch! provides.
They have done a great job looking after our pets! The pets love being able to say at home and not having to go to a stressful boarding place when we go out of town. It’s great for older dogs who have gotten used to the comfort of their own couch. One advantage of Fetch over the others is that their customer service rep schedules and coordinates with the pet sitters and makes sure you are satisfied. 12/10 - would recommend!
Fetch! is a great company. I have been using them for years and never been disappointed. We love our sitter, Dawn and the company overall really shows their compassion for animals. They were able to take care of our pet's medical needs with their qualified sitters. It sure makes vacation a lot more relaxing without having to worry. Thanks Fetch! For all you guys do while we are away to play. Keep up the good work.
We love Fetch! It is very convenient. I can travel worry free that my animals are taken care of and my home is safe. You receive an update with pics for each visit. Everything is documented through the app. AMAZING!
The friendly people at Fetch made it easy to leave our pet at home over a holiday weekend. Our assigned pet sitter went above and beyond to care for our pet and send us detailed updates about her visit. I highly recommend this service!
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!
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
Huck is always happy to go to the Pawms. He stays for a few days, or a week+ and is happy when we drop him and happy when we pick him up. He also gets groomed there. He always looks great and is never scared or upset. The whole staff knows him and we can all tell he is well taken care of there! We all love The Pawms!
This was my first time boarding my dog Clementine with Pawms. She was relaxed and well cared for when I picked her up, and I was able to ask for updates on her throughout her stay. Thank you for taking great care of her! We will be back!
Birdie very much enjoyed her time at daycare and is lookin fresh after her bath. Thx Zac and the rest of the Pawms crew for making it easy. 😎 We will be back. …
Hank loves to visit the Pawms when we travel. He knows when we pull into the parking lot and can’t stop wagging his tail. He is always welcomed into the lobby and well taken care of. When he gets a bath he is very clean and smells good (which is hard because he has lots of hair). We would definitely recommend to others.
Our family LOVES the Pawms!! We treat our pet like part of the family, because she is! Our dog was bathed and brushed at the downtown. Our doggy seemed happy and content when we picked her up! They offer same-day service! And they really love dogs here!
Wonderful place to get your pets bathed and groomed. Highly suggest, they did an amazing job with my husky!
My dogs LOVE it going here. They are worn out from having so much fun at daycare. It is also nice to leave your dogs in the care of people that you trust when you go out of town. The groomer, Jill was also so kind and caring when grooming our elderly dog. I highly recommend daycare, boarding and grooming at the downtown Pawms!
I moved to Birmingham about a year ago for a residency program with my dog Krewe. His anxiety worsened in a new environment unfortunately and I was at my wits end on what to do. I couldn’t leave the house without him crying and I needed help!! I found pawms and decided to start taking krewe to daycare. He has completely changed and is much more carefree and his anxiety has improved so much! I am so thankful for the pawms team and all they’ve done for Krewe and I. They dote on him and take such good care of him. He was even selected for pet of the month 🥹 we will miss pawms so much when we leave next month. We love y’all! 💓
It seems like everyone leaves a bad review when a cut doesn’t go quite as planned. Let me tell you, Pawms did such a great job!!! Our Poodle had only ever had a puppy trim and we brought him in this week for a big boy cut. I didn’t want to go too short, but my spouse really wanted some length off of him. After speaking with the groomer (April, I think) - I felt like it would be ok to go about 50% shorter than his current, grown out length. He had 2-3 tangle that were really bad bc he’d been neutered two weeks earlier and had been uncomfortable and really wildr and I hadn’t given his coat the attention it needed. April called us before she did anything and let us know she couldn’t fix it without cutting them out. She was gonna have to go shorter with his coat to blend it in. I was a little worried, but our dog came home looking like a million dollars. I couldn’t be happier with the job she did. They are also really nice and the communication is stellar. We will definitely be back! Edit: the cut in around his leg is where he had to have an IV for surgery.
The Pawms is excellent! We have been taking our dog there for years for daycare and boarding and have always received exceptional service. Great team and great company!
Our pup, Scout, loves going to Humphrey’s! She runs to the door when we tell her she’s going to “school” that day. She always comes home tired & clean, which we really appreciate. We’ve used Humphrey’s for daycare, boarding, & grooming for several years and are always happy with the service. We said goodbye to our 13 year old Cockalier earlier this year, but truly can’t thank the staff at Humphrey’s enough for being so good to him. Thank you for loving our pups like your own!
Humphrey’s Dog Resort has been Fish’s second home for over two years and they’ve loved him like their own from day one. Whether it's accommodating him with boarding, splash pad parties, or posting memes of him on their instagram, they've always gone above and beyond making things fun. Their hours are perfect for nurses, and it's clear the staff genuinely love their jobs and the animals in their care. Honestly, I would die for Humphrey’s, and I’m pretty sure Fish would trade me for them any day!
They love your pets as much as you do and have a great sense of humor. I’ve been taking my dogs there since the day they opened and will never go anywhere else. All the activities, art, and pictures they do are so fun (and funny), and I love hanging them on my fridge. Humphrey’s is the best in town!
Our pups LOVE Humphrey's! We have one introvert and one extrovert pup and the Humphrey's team always find a way to meet both of their needs. We use them for daycare and boarding. The enhancement daycare has done wonders for our introvert and their boarding room service options are premium and make me feel confident they will get the love like they would at home :)
Humphrey's has been a life-saver for our sweet Winnie. We moved from a house with a big backyard to a smaller place downtown with no yard. Winnie did not adjust well. She became aggressive with other dogs and we couldn't take her out in public without worrying about her behavior. Since she has been going to Humphrey's her behavior has changed for the better! I can take her out to public places and she is well-behaved! The staff at Humphrey's is amazing! I can't single out just one staff member because every single one I have spoken with knows my dog and loves her. They truly know what they are doing and they treat each animal with love and positive reinforcement. I highly recommend Humphrey's Dog Resort!!
This is the BEST grooming and daycare service ever! My puppy is very shy but when we picked her up from daycare, she was playful and in a VERY good mood. It's like we have a completely different dog! And she looks GORGEOUS! Thank you Humphreys! This is her new grooming spot from NOW ON!
We absolutely love Humphrey’s for day care. The team is extremely friendly and the drop off/pick up is super easy. I appreciate that you can book individual days as needed an not need to commit to specific days. Buying packages is also very easy. Everything is super clean and we love checking social media for photos of our pup. Most importantly, he gets very excited as we pull up and can’t wait to go in. He’s tuckered out when we get him home and is ready for bed. It’s safe to say Humphrey’s is our pups happy place.
I would highly suggest Humphrey's Dog Resort! We weren't even able to board our dog there due to our own personal reasons. But the time Joanna took to walk me through their services and how accommodating they are for all types of dogs was mind blowing. She is extremely informative and I could tell she was already prepared and excited about the possibility of having our fur baby stay with them! We hope to get to board her there soon!
I’ve been bringing my big guy Bingley to Humphrey’s for more than 2 years. They take wonderful care of my guy, including adapting to his some of his idiosyncrasies. He comes home at night completely wiped out from a long day of playing. I never have to worry when I board him because everyone is responsive and adaptable. They also do a wonderful job when he gets bathed and groomed into his handsome self. I highly recommend Humphrey’s.
My dog Millie and I love Humphrey’s. They are always very friendly, and happy to see her! Millie has tons of energy so going to daycare daily is a must for her. She also boards, and is groomed at Humphrey’s. I’ve never been disappointed with anything at Humphrey’s.
I took my new little rescue dog to be groomed today and we had a wonderful experience! Not knowing what his background has been in the past, I was delighted that he was so relaxed and content when I picked him up today. Chelsea did a BEAUTIFUL job on this little shih Tzu!! She was incredibly patient and obviously worked hard to bond with my precious furry baby and did everything I asked her to do!! Thank you so much!!
The Pawms is a first class outfit. Our dog, Mac Jones is treated well and we always have a god experience
Update: Justice for Lucky You may recall my review and photos depicting the horror my beloved baby endured at the Pawms Pet Resort Avondale. The why and the why not stop when Lucky was in distress from the painful cutting off of skin tags and the horrible shave down leaving him traumatized still went truthfully unanswered. The silver lining --- I took the matter to Court and won my case in my quest to get JUSTICE for LUCKY and also in hopes this will prevent other fur babies from experiencing the same harm. Bad professional behavior and not assuming accountability has consequences. Sadly, my baby has passed away....one of the sweetest little boy you would ever want to meet.
Kelly at the front was very friendly and welcoming, both my animals love going to play and stay!
The Staff at the Pawns are the best. They love the dogs and are always nice and helpful! My Murphy loves to go there.
We have had great experiences with the Pawms Avondale. The staff are amazing; you can tell they love and care for dogs.
They always do an excellent job with my Bernadoodle! He’s terrible to even brush so I have no idea how they have him perfectly groomed, but they do an excellent t job! Making an appointment for grooming has always been a breeze.
Absolutely love this place for my dog! The staff is incredibly sweet and takes such great care of our fur child. They recognize her immediately and are so excited to have her for daycare or being boarded...which does this mama's heart a lot of good when we drop her off! Jeff and his team do such a great job and put our mind at peace when we are out of town. Not to mention, there is a vet right next door so if an emergency arises, she can be treated immediately. We won't take our dog anywhere else...Thank you PAWMS!!! :)
We've used Pawms - Avondale to board our dog (Bo) multiple times now. Everyone I've talked to who works there has always been very kind and professional. It is obvious that they care about the animals who stay there. When Bo had to take daily heartworm treatment medication, they listened and made sure they had all the instructions written down. They are also very fast and efficient during drop-off/pick-up. Bo always seems excited to go there and he is always happy/healthy when we pick him up. It's so reassuring to have a reliable place to take care of your pet when going out of town. I would recommend this place to anyone!!
LOVE this place! They always take such great care of my dog and I don’t feel worried or anxious leaving her here for boarding/daycare. She always comes home wiped out from having so much fun, and not to mention always smells so good and looks so clean after having a bath here. Would highly recommend!
Camp Bow Wow is amazing! I love how friendly the staff is! You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing. And the dogs are never alone, they always have a counselor in the yard with them! Being able to watch my pup on live cam and see how happy she is, is fantastic! Based on how happy she is in live cam, and when I pick her up, I know Summer agrees that Camp Bow Wow is AWESOME!
Camp Bow Wow has been our saving grace for our dog Reggie across multiple states and locations. We were pumped when the Hoover location opened and have been taking our dog ever since. They know her when we call and can’t wait to have her stay. They love her and we know she is being taken care of when we are out of town. The facilities are clean, the staff is welcoming, and they always share a little bit about her stay when we pick her up. I highly recommend!
My dog is special in all sorts of ways. She loves other animals, but is hesitant around humans. This is because we had a rough encounter with some maintenance workers at an apartment complex we lived at. I enrolled my dog for the socialization around other dogs and people. After a few weeks, I have noticed a difference in her. She LOVES her camp days. I am so grateful they are here and treat her with kindness and love, and she gets her full day of play. The employees have great customer service and you can tell they truly care about the dogs that attend. They also have cameras you can watch the dogs play. Would give more stars if I can.
Great staff! Camp Bow Wow is clean, organized and smells good - a rarity for any dog day care and speaks to the quality of the business. They are engaging and always happy to discuss any questions or concerns. Everything is on video at all times to create visibility and of course, confidence that your dog is being cared for. Our experience so far has been amazing. Great people.
From the very first time until currently, my furboy and I have had only good experiences with Camp Bow Wow in Hoover. He has basically been going since the doors opened. While he 'only' gets to go once a week for play time, nothing would please him more than to go every day. Being around the other dogs has taught him to be playful and never meet a stranger. In addition, the people who work there are great starting from remembering his name to knowing his little quirks, like preferring to drink water from the cooler instead of a bowl. The facility is always clean and offers any type of furbaby service you may need. My furboy has not spent the night away before, but if that time should come, I would not hesitate to let him stay at Camp Bow Wow!
Camp Bow Wow is awesome! The whole place is extremely clean and the staff is so friendly! They have been fostering for Adopt a Golden Birmingham and we cannot thank Greg and his team enough for supporting the organization. All our dogs are happy and healthy at CBW! I'd recommend Bow Wow to anyone looking for a safe and fun place to board their pets!
The owner Greg and his team do an amazing job with our fur babies, Riley and Mia. They truly care about the dogs and the facility is very clean! We drop the girls off for day camp, overnight stays and grooming. The biggest endorsement though comes from the girls themselves- when we tell them they are going to “camp”- they go running to get their leashes to head out!
Our two dogs have long been enjoying the excellent care and love that CBW staff show to all their four-legged clients. Recently we've been fostering a dog for someone who was no longer able to care for her. CBW has been the perfect place for her to socialize with other dogs for the first time in her life, and to get introduced to our two in a neutral environment. Being able to watch the progress in her behavior from the comfort of our own home has been priceless, knowing that she's doing so in a safe and loving environment has been a huge weight off our minds. If you are thinking about using CBW Hoover for doggie daycare, think no more! From reception to the owner himself, they are polite, professional, and above all, kind. Here are our two, Charlie and Mags, and Trinity the Boxer/Bulldog, winding down after another day of playing with their friends:
We live in Nashville and our dog, June, is a regular camper. We have family in Hoover, so we boarded her for one night while we were in town visiting. The front desk staff were so friendly and every time we checked in on our dog via the cameras, the person in the play area was giving her pets. Great experience, and we'll be back!
3 day stay. I truly enjoyed the staff and being able to watch my baby interact with other dogs. He was returned to me just as happy as I dropped him off. A wonderful experience.
We've been coming to Good Dog for quite a while and we absolutely love it! We have two dogs that we bring 2-4 times a week, and every now and then put them in daycare. It's a great large turf area with some pools and things for them to climb/jump on. They also have ample seating for the humans as well as TV's. The service is always friendly. Melissa & Emma helped our anxious fur baby with daycare and helping break some of his separation anxiety. Nick, Vic & Abbie have been so kind and helpful with the park. They are attentive, reliable & friendly. Everyone is a joy to be around & we are so thankful for Good Dog & all the crew!
We had the best time on our first visit today! The staff were nice & informative, the play facility is well equipped with plenty of seating, & the dogs were all very entertaining. Prepare to be loved on multiple times by every dog there! My only suggestion would be another set of leash hooks on the other side of the entrance gate. The ones there filled up fast & people had to bring them inside. I noticed a lot of the dogs snatching them from their hands & running thinking they were toys (Exibit 1: the guy in my firsr picture whose leash The Welcoming Committee kept trying to grab. 😆).
Good dog is my border aussie, Coco’s, happy place!!!! The atmosphere is perfect & the amazing people that spend all day watching over them could not be a better group! The sweetest people ever, I feel so safe leaving Coco with them all day - truly such wonderful people! Coco is always so happy at the end of the day!! WE LOVE GOOD DOG!!!!!!
The staff here is amazing! They always greet my pup by name and genuinely seem so excited to see him every time we visit. We used daycare for the first time and they were great about sending pictures and updates throughout the day. My dog seemed so happy and fell asleep on the way home and was out cold for the rest of the night! I’d say he had a great day as well!
Best place for the best pups. Wonderful spot to bring your dogs and cool off during the hot summer months. Amazing staff that keep everything clean and stop the fights. You can also grab a cold beer! What's better than that?!
My 11 month old puppy got to have his zoomies in a clean park with friendly dogs! I really appreciate that the play was supervised by a park staff member who helped facilitate positive interactions for all the dogs.
We live in NY, and our babies go there every time we visit my brother-in-law and his family. I have two huskies; one is very friendly, and the other is more like a solo guy. We have been there three times this year—spring, Summer, and Winter. The last time, I was a little disappointed because they were closed on 12/24 and 12/26, and when I made the reservation and selected those two days, they were approved. So they only went for one day. Still, I think they are good at what they do.
Good dogs go to Good Dog!!! My dog loves this place, whether it’s for daycare or to play in the dog park while I hang with friends and have a drink- 10/10 recommend! They do a phenomenal grooming job! Champ girl also celebrated her 1st birthday with a party with friends - easy to coordinate with Good Dog staff!
I took my 1 year old puppy who had never been groomed before, and he was just perfect and cute when he came out! The facility was really clean, staff was nice, and watching the dogs at daycare was really fun to watch while I was dropping off and picking up. This will absolutely be our new go-to place for grooming, daycare, and there are drinks too!
My sheepadoodle spent a day here at daycare and had a great time. The staff definitely goes above and beyond for their four-legged clientele. I even got a report card detailing my dog’s day including specifics. They attached a cute photo of him from his day there. He was happy and tired when we got home. Will definitely go back when we are in town again.
I can't say enough good things about Top Dog. Every time I take Athena she comes back happier than ever. When she sees me packing her bag for the stay, she immediately runs to the door, ready to go. I have used a number of boarding facilities over the years, but Top Dog is the absolute best! Athena is excited when we pull into the parking lot, and always comes out happy and healthy, and obviously well cared for. The staff there are as excited to see her, as she is them.
Top Dog is AMAZING!! Everyone there is so kind and trustworthy. We've sent our dog to daycare and have boarded him multiple times with Top Dog and every single time, he cannot wait to get in the door. He is excited the second he realizes where we are. Christy and her team genuinely care about each pet and are always doing such fun things for the dogs there!! We love Top Dog!
Top Dog is Tops Lilly and Christy were so kind and caring towards Juniper Berry from North Carolina. Juno does not enjoy time away from her mom but Lilly and Christy made her feel right at home !!! Thank you from the Elliotts !!!
Top Dog is the very best! My dog is a rescue and loves dogs, but is very hesitant of new people. I’ve tried other options before and would have to walk to the back with her just to get her inside. At Top Dog she runs in, scratches on the gate, and doesn’t look back. I truly believe Top Dog loves their dogs like their own! I’m so thankful for them and could not recommend them enough!
Top Dog has quickly become a home away from home for our rescue. They have the friendliest staff, always smiling and quick to answer our many questions. They immediately eased any worries we had and we have now incorporated play care into our weekly routine. Boarding services are top notch also! We are super pleased!
I recently moved to Birmingham and one of my main concerns was finding my fur baby a new daycare and boarding. I did a drop in visit to see the facility and was immediately greeted by a with warm and friendly staff. I have been sending my Tucker there for about 2 months now and absolutely love the staff and how Tucker is treated. I highly recommend Top Dog to take care of your fur baby.
Our dogs LOVE their sleepovers at TopDog BHM! They walk in the door and don't even hug us goodbye! Unlike basic boarding through a Vet office, I LOVE that they get so much playtime, interaction, snuggles and treats! We follow TopDog on Instagram and FB, so we log on EVERY night to see if our girls were caught on camera. We Love it! TopDog will always be our Boarding location of choice! Thank you TopDog for being SO FANTASTIC!
My pup Forrest absolutely loves his visits to Top Dog Birmingham. He spends a half or full day at daycare with Top Dog about 2-4 days per month. He obviously gets lots of love and attention and enjoys doing dog things with other dogs. When I tell him he's going to see his friends at Top Dog he literally runs to the car. Forrest has also boarded overnight a few times and has done very well on those longer visits, as well. I highly recommend the good folks at Top Dog! I adopted Forrest in early December from the Elmore County Humane Society and having time with other dogs in free play has been great experience for him. It's also super nice to know that when I need to work out of town for a day, Forrest doesn't have to spend the day alone in the backyard. When I need to board him for longer work trips, he gets to enjoy plenty of exercise, too, and good people are caring for him.
Top dog is absolutely amazing! My dog loves it every time whether he’s there for the day or staying overnight while I’m out of town, and literally spins in circles when I ask him if he wants to go to “daycare!” The staff is also amazing and very kind and you can tell they really care about the dogs and their owners. I recommend top dog to anyone in the Birmingham area!
Top Dog is Phenomenal!!! They take such great care of my fur baby, and he loves going. They were extra special to him to help alleviate his anxiety the first time he boarded. I highly recommend them. It will be the best decision you make!!!
We consider Pampered Pet Resort to be our pets’ 2nd home. We have been customers for longer than I can remember - at least 10 years. Our dog LOVES being boarded here - she is easily frightened by new people and places but never here! Our cat used to resist getting in his carrier but now walks right in, knowing where he is headed. The few times they have gotten sick, we have been reimbursed for vet costs - quickly and agreeably. We appreciate this small business and feel so fortunate that we found them!
Everyone at the Pampered Pet Resort is so kind! They treated my pup as if he was their own pet. Every morning when I would drop him off for daycare he would run towards the back tail wagging and ready for a fun day of play. The entire team is always so nice and makes sure to tell you how your pups day was at pick up. I recommend the Pampered Pet to anyone looking to board their fur baby or looking for a good, safe daycare option. They are careful to make sure and pair dogs together based on size and behavior. Thank you Stephanie and the team for taking such good care of my Graham! If I am ever living in the Birmingham area again we will for sure be back.
Pampered Pet Resort is THE best place for the care of our dogs! No one has ever done it better! Our dogs actually get excited when we pull up in the parking lot! The staff is super friendly and really care for all the “guests” like they were their own! This is the best place I have ever found for boarding our dogs- both short and long time!
I have had very good experiences with Pampered Pets! I appreciate their good care.
My doggo gets great care every time we go out of town. Make sure your pet's records are up to date! Prices are reasoable.
This place is absolutely amazing and I will never leave my sweet kitty anywhere else to board him! I am a nervous cat mom and was very unsure when I dropped him off for the first time earlier this week. They took such good care of my sweet boy! My husband even received pictures of him during his exercise time. The staff is super friendly and you can tell they are all animal lovers! The cost is very affordable as well. Highly recommend!!
What are you looking for in a pet sitter? Well, I am looking at my fur babies reaction when I check them in as well as after I've picked them up. I have 1 cat & 1 nervous nelly dog. So while together, they were separated and apart during their stay. When I dropped off, they were met with good, chill & loving vibes. It was like that 1st time at your child's DayCare when you realized the kid was happy and you need not worry anymore. This was that same vibe. And now I no longer worry when they need to be boarded. Thank You Ladies!
My dog Henry gets so excited when we’re pulling up in the parking lot and comes back so happy every time I board him here. That’s how you know the staff is the best! It’s such a relief knowing he has a place like Pampered Pet where he’s in the best hands and always has fun. The few times I’ve done daycare he’s come back happy and pretty exhausted as well. I can’t recommend highly enough - even if you live in Birmingham city limits it’s worth the ~20 minute drive to bring your pup here.
Stephanie and her staff are fantastic. She cares for every dog like they are her own. The facility is super clean and very well organized. They have both an indoor and outdoor play area so your dog doesn't have to just sit in a kennel all day. I have used this service several times and always very pleased. One of the best things is they will give you a tour of their facility ANYTIME. You don't have to schedule an appointment to see this wonderful place. I drive from across town to use PPR because when I drop my dog off then I don't have to stress about her being taken care of properly. Peace of mind is priceless.
I am surprised to see that some reviewers have said that the staff is rude, because I have always had good interactions with them! They are always courteous to my family. If I have to leave a message, they are very good about calling me back to schedule my appointment. My dog has been going here for YEARS while we are on vacation. Once my dog needed veterinary care, and the resort contacted the vet, took him, and gave him all the extra attention he needed while we were out of town. My dog always seems happy and well cared for, so we will continuing to use the Pampered Pet for life.
I took my 2 dogs to Camp Scotty for the night the people are so caring and attentive to our puppies they took them for walks outside loved on them. There bowl of water got tipped over but the girl told me that the bed wet put in a plastic bag for she even offered to wash it. I am moving out of state but you recommend Camp Scotty
Visited on 12/10/24 and used the self dog wash. Shout out to all of the friendly staff there today. This was my first time to use the self wash. The staff explained how to use the equipment and were so nice answering all of my many questions. Great experience!🐾 …
Our 85 lb dog is always so excited and happy when he realizes where he is when we drop him off, and he is always happy and energetic when we pick him up (and he is often pooped out from his play time too!) The staff is great and very attentive.
My poodle stayed 2 days. Place is run down and smells. My dog was suppose to have bath but was smelly and full of fleas when I picked him up. My baby has never had fleas and has never worn a flea collar. Had to give my dog a bath when he got home to relieve him of itching and bad smell. Should have listened to my 11 year old and not let him stay. Never again
The staff is very friendly and they take good care of our dog. Thank you for the doggy daycare services you offer.
Fantastic experience. Meghan did a great job grooming our golden. The absolutely nicest and attentive staff!
I haven't had my dog in daycare yet but I am taking the obedience class and the leader is so good. He knows his stuff from beginner training to advanced. I would highly recommend it. My neighbor told me about camp Scotty because her dog attends 2-3 times a week and she also boards her dog when traveling
SELF-SERVE DOG BATH - Wonderful experience; and, so worth the $10 I spent to have that quality time with my best friend. The wash basins are the right height (no leaning over and killing your back), water, soap and deodorizer provided. It was Diesel's first experience, the attendant helped me get him into the basin, and once the warm water hit him, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Our dog Beau attends daycare here and he spends the night in boarding when we go out of town. Not only does he have a fabulous time during every visit, he LOVES all the staff. Everyone at Camp Scotty is kind and friendly but, most of all, they love and treat our dog like their own.
I was happy with boarding our dog until the last time. We boarded him fro Thursday till Sunday and took advantage of the kennel tha had a webcam. When we watched our dog on the webcam, we noticed that he was sleeping on the floor far away from the bed we provided. My wife grew concerned but I thought nothing of it. Throughout the whole stay from Thursday till Sunday, we saw hat the dog never sent to his bed. When the employee returned the bed to us , the bed was soatking wet. When I say soaking wet, I mean it was literally dripping with water. The employee said, "don't worry, it's only water. Your dog knocked over the water.". When we got home, the trunk tray was filled with water, the whole car was stinking . It took us 4 washed to get rid of the smell fron the car. Now, I don't mind the washing , or even the smell. My beef here is that the bed was soaking wet the entire 4 days the dog was there. No one stopped to think that maybe they put the bed aside and use the camp scotty cot instead? If the bed was still soaking wet after 4 days, the water must have remained on the floor. No one though to maybe mop it up?? I sent an email to Camp Scotty that evening describing the situation and asking for an explanation. I have yet to hear back from them. I know that dogs are dogs and they do knock over water bowls etc. But it would have been obvious that the kennel was drenched in water. Yet, nothing was done in the 4 days that my dog stayed there. NEVER AGAIN.
