Dog walker ranch is hands down the best facility I’ve ever boarded with. For context, I am very selective in who I trust with my dog. I have never been more comfortable leaving my dog in the care of others as I was with dog walker ranch. I love that they have live in staff, are a family owned business, and truly love your dog like their own while they are in their care. When I picked my dog up this morning he was clearly well loved and happy. Their communication while I was away was awesome and very much appreciated. The facility is very clean and it’s clear that a lot of thought went into the set up to be able to provide dogs a safe, fun and comfortable stay. Their prices are set reasonably for the care and fun your fur baby will receive. The owners and staff are clearly dog lovers who are lucky enough to work with dogs everyday.Thank you Dog Walker Ranch, Sawyer will definitely be back!

Dog Walker is a great place to board you dog, the staff is very friendly and my dog always has a great time when she is there. We're avid cruise people so my dog has been there over 50 days in total so I know what I'm talking about. It's the best place and best rates. It's also very clean your dog will love it.

First I want to say we have been using dog walker ranch for a while now but we continue to have problems and it gets worse every time we go. They have lost many of toys and this last time I spoke with the owner (donnie) and all he could say is it's their contract that states they are not responsible for the toys and blankets and that it's says they allow toys but it's not recommended. But on their website it clearly shows the exact opposite, they welcome you to bring the pets favorite toy or blanket. The only good thing about this place is that it is convenient. We waited at the ranch for 45 minutes waiting on our dog to get finished getting groomed when we was told that he would be done in 5-10 minutes so we drove up there which took 15 minutes and still had to wait 45 mins on top of that. We will not be using dog walker ranch any more.

We take Biscotti our cattle dog for daycare once a week. Its been great with helping him transition from being a shelter dog. While on vacation, we left Biscotti and Pippa, my blind dog, for a few days and they had a great time! I really appreciate the extra time and attentiveness Liz showed in our dogs, especially for Pippa's special needs. Plus getting a few texted pictures while on vacation was always wonderful! Highly recommend, especially for such reasonable pricing.

We've boarded our 80 pound dog here so many times, they know him by name when we walk in! Clean facility, and great folks! I highly recommend

The owners really know their stuff! They take very good care of my great Dane, Lavender. She loves going there!

Cannot recommend this place more! From my initial inquiry about their boarding services, to the meet & greet, daycare session, and finally their 8-day stay, everyone was so helpful and communicative! Maverick and Aerie had a wonderful time, and I’m excited to finally have found somewhere I trust with my pups!

We have tried several other boarding facilities, but Dog Walker Ranch is now our go to boarding place. It is not close to our home, but worth the drive for the care they provide. Our Pyrenees always comes home groomed perfectly by Lexi after his stays. Much appreciate having a place we know our big boy is well taken care of!

Poor communication with pet parents and “will not be reading written instructions” regarding your babies. I was told by the owner (the man) that I could bring my girl’s blanket so my scent will be with her during her first boarding stay. That gave me peace of mind. I was also told I could text the main number to get updates. I dropped my pup off on Friday, tried to text that night and it wouldn’t go through. So I called Saturday. After calling for a 2nd time in a row (because at this point I was getting nervous I wouldn’t get an update on my pup at all) my call was answered by the owner (woman). She proceeds to tell me the only reason she answered my call was because I “spam called”, that “they don’t answer on sat or sundays”. After this conversation with this woman, I was already feeling off put to have my baby there any longer. I had my mom pick her up on Sunday. I called them on Monday to get details as I was missing 2 bags of dog food and allergy medicine that was packaged with her written instructions. I specifically typed up her instructions so she was fed properly (with a snuffle mat so she does not get bloat) and so they would dispense allergy meds once a day. The owner/woman proceeds to tell me that she doesn’t know what a snuffle mat is (which is shocking since she owns a DOG FACILITY) and my dog was fed from a bowl, and was “too excited” and knocked her bowl over. Twice apparently. The Snuffle mat was to prevent that exact problem as well as prevent bloat. She told me her husband gave me misinformation about texting as well as bringing her blanket “because there’d be too many blankets to wash if we allowed that”. I said “so, my written instructions were ignored too?” and the owner responds with “personally, I won’t read written instructions” the WORST first experience boarding my girl and I will make sure no one I know takes their animals here.

We boarded our dog over the weekend and asked that he be groomed before we picked him up. The facility and staff are all very nice and the place is clean. That being said. When I spoke to the groomer I told her that he did have some mats and knew she would have to cut him short but I reiterated several times I did not want him cut right down to the skin and I did not want his ears or tail trimmed at all. To say we were shocked when we picked him up is an understatement. He was shaved and in many places it was right to the skin, his underneath was totally right to his skin and looks raw. His back leg was nicked … she said it was because he was squirming. I can’t even describe his ears and face… nothing is even. Several people have commented that he looks a mess and I have to totally agree. Since he came home he has done nothing but sleep and he has never done that any other time we have boarded him. I’m sure there will be a response to my post but I assure you I am usually very understanding and I just cannot be this time.

After paying over $600 for boarding and training Kiwi 🥝 still is biting and dragging me all over the place.

Very reasonable prices. My dogs were ok when I picked them up. No eye infections or nose abrasions on them trying to get out of a cage. Both of which happened at other businesses. They were bathed and all good. Will definitely go back.

"DogWalker Ranch is the real deal! Their groomer Lexi is skilled artisans, transforming pups into showstoppers. The dog-safe dye they use highlights the dogs' personalities, while their haircuts are always precise and stylish. It's clear they truly understand and love dogs. They're the best in the business!"❤️

I love the couple that operate the Dog Walker Ranch. They make you feel welcome. My little Smokey is their biggest fan of all. He gets so excited to go to their Doggy day care.

We had our pittie there for only 1 night, but she seamed pretty happy when they brought her out to us. I would consider using them again.

We rented out the pool and had the most amazing time with our 4 pups! The staff was helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend!

Our pit Jessi has stayed at Dog walker ranch several times. A few times it was very last minute and they still were able to accommodate us. The staff has always been extremely friendly and professional. My pup always goes in super happy and comes home super happy. They make sure she has her favorite toy and snacks. Also, they are very patient with check up phone calls. Highly recommend this place.

I took both my dogs to stay for a week after calling every other boarding place in town. They were able to get us in during a busy holiday and proved to be excellent with my special needs dog. We have already booked with them again for this summer.

I boarded my 3 dogs at Dog walker ranch for an overnight stay and I could not have been happier!!! The staff is so kind, especially Bailey! She definitely loves dogs like they are her own!!! I have one dog on medication and they gave her the medicine no problems at all! Dog Walker ranch gave my dogs private play (what I specifically asked for) and Bailey said the dogs enjoyed the huge play yard!!! They are definitely worth the money, especially knowing that my dogs are treated like family there. I will continue to board there! I highly recommend Dog Walker Ranch!!!

I went in a couple months ago for a tour and loved it immediately. I have a 4 month old golden doodle and it was his first time in boarding, he has played with my parents dog before but not any others so I was a little nervous on how he would react. He left me easily and was so happy after three days of being in boarding, it was like he didn’t miss a beat. I appreciate so much that dog walker ranch took great care of my Hamilton and I’m glad that y’all enjoyed his company as well! Hamilton will definitely be a repeat boarder!

Took my two corgis here over the weekend and had an excellent experience. I highly recommend DogWalker Ranch to anyone for boarding! They even bathed my girls and trimmed their nails.

Dog Walker Ranch is conveniently located with easy access. Two carerakers live on the property and pets are given alot of tlc. They have a beautiful dog pool available to privately rent for ypu amd your best friend. The facility is very clean with beautiful hand painted murals of happy canines all over their walls. I would definitely trust Dog Walker Ranch to keep my pups happy and content for me ,should i need to travel out of the area.

Fantastic experience! Liz is incredibly nice. When you talk to her, it is clear how much she loves dogs. It felt like dropping off my pups at a friends house, it was so incredibly homey. Amazingly, she remembered every dog detail I gave her over the phone. The kennel itself was very clean, but it's not like your dog is just tossed into a kennel and forgotten. They get to play and get lots of love. I couldn't be more pleased!
