We love Doggie Playhouse!! Our lab can’t wait to get out of the car to come in and play. She has been going to DP since she was a pup and can never get enough. We have also boarded her and she comes home tired and happy. Kudos and many thanks to Jeff and the crew who take such good care of our girl! We would never go anywhere else!!

I’m glad we found this place! This is our second time getting our dog groomed here and it’s been wonderful so far. My dog (a very anxious one) seems to like the place and the people working here too. He wasn’t acting scared when I picked him up.

This review is long overdue: we took our Corgi here for daycare and he loved it! He came home super tired which is exactly what he needed. Overall the time we took him there we were very happy with the staff/owner and services. We also appreciated the flexibility of when we could bring him. Eventually we brought his brother a few times which he loved too! We were sad to move as we could no longer bring them. Thank you again to everyone at Doggie Playhouse! Highly recommend! Love, Kulo&Atlas

Doggie Playhouse is a second home for our long-haired German Shepherd, Tilla. For the past 7 years, we have trusted Jeff, Joe and all the employees at Doggie Playhouse with Tilla anytime we needed boarding. They also groomer her beautifully. Thank you for your excellent care.

Cannot say enough great things about doggie playhouse. I always feel great dropping off my lab for a quick bath or even boarding. They say nobody loves your pet the way you do and they’re right. They love on her even more! The workers are always there to welcome my pup with a treat and pets. Absolutely love this place

Although this was a few years ago, I was reminded after picking him up from a new daycare and how much better treated he was. This is particular to a female employee who brought her son to work. The day I went to pick up my dog they were late to open and the female employee was in tears. Her son was staring at the dogs through the window and as my dog was let out, he scurried away from the boy and looked horrified. I didn’t pick up on this at the time but after picking him up a second time, he was so scared he was uncontrollably shaking and climbed into my lap while driving for comfort.I would never bring my dog to this establishment unless the ownership has changed and they have oversight over their employees.

Very attentive, caring, and competent staff, and the owner himself has such a big heart, and a sense of responsibility when it comes to taking care of dogs. I know him personally to have rescued homeless, ownerless dogs for the pure intention of making a difference in this world, by ensuring that they wouldn't die. Aside from that, all of the dogs are properly assessed, watched and cared for with the highest standard. I wouldn't trust anybody else to take care of my dog, simply because the professionalism, as well as genuine and sincere care. All the employees there are clearly dog lovers and they operate the business not just for a paycheck, but for the opportunity to do what they love. Always an amazing atmosphere

We love Doggie Playhouse! We have used them for years for both daycare and boarding. Have had nothing but wonderful experiences with two different dogs. Staff and owners are friendly, helpful and amazing!

We love doggie playhouse! We especially love Bandit’s groomer, Corey. She does an exceptional job with Bandit even though he’s very cranky and touch sensitive with being groomed. Corey is patient, kind, and loving. She always touches base with me after grooming, letting me know if she found Bandit to be particularly sensitive in any spots while grooming. Bandit had been seeing Corey for the last year, and we will definitely keep bringing him back.

This place it awesome! I have been taking my pups here for the last 8 years! My dogs get so excited on the way and can’t wait to get out of the car to go inside and play! Definitely recommend!

Jeff and his crew are great! They take such good care of our sweet (getting older) golden doodle whenever we go out of town. Prices are fair as well. Highly recommend!!!

Doggie Playhouse is the best! A perfect home-like environment for our dogs when we are away, and the staff are caring, pleasant and helpful. I'm so glad I found this place for my pups!!

Been taking my pups to Doggie Playhouse for close to twenty years. It's a wonderful place, and absolutely dependable. Even when unexpected things happen, they get handled. Oh and also: my dogs love this place!

I began using Doggie Playhouse way back in 2008 when I brought home my chocolate lab puppy. We always had the best experience and she was just a happy dog. I believe that dogs that go to doggie daycare are just better dogs in general. They are well socialized and tired. Tired dogs are happy dogs. Tired dogs aren't bored and destroying your home. When we got our new puppy this year, we were very happy to return to Doggie Playhouse. Jeff is an owner like no other. He is dedicated, committed and extremely willing to work with all of his customers. I trust him and his staff with everything and can't imagine sending my pup elsewhere. The additional bonus is that if you need board your dog for any reason, there is a staff member on site at all times so they are never left alone. Win win in my book!

I recently started taking my dog to doggie playhouse for boarding during vacations, and despite the longer stays at doggie playhouse, my dog comes home in much better shape than the previous kennel she stayed at. The grooming rates are reasonable, and someone is always available if you want to call to check on your dog.

We have taken our two dogs several times as drop-ins (differentiating from the dogs that go daily), and they always have the best time. We watch as the caretakers walk the dogs into the room and the dogs begin to play with the others immediately. When we come to pick up the dogs, we see that they are still playing and having a great time!!! The staff is incredibly friendly, and their love of dogs is apparent. It gives us, as parents, comfort that they are safe and happy when we need to leave them.

I've been taking my dogs here for the last 15+ years. We've got a new puppy and will be bringing him To Doggie Playhouse soon! Jeff and the team are fantastic. I never have to worry that my dog is in good hands. HIGHLY recommended.

I always take my dogs to Doggie Playhouse for daycare and boarding. Jeff and his crew take great care of them and my dogs love going there. There is a large outdoor fenced in play area and the boarding facilities are very nice + clean. It is also affordable care for multiple dogs. I highly recommend Doggie Playhouse!

This place (and Jeff/ Joe/ Tony and the rest of the crew) is a God-send. We’ve been to other big name dog daycares in the past and none of them can compare to the service we get at Doggie Playhouse. The staff is so incredibly kind and accommodating and treat my dog like their own. The communication from the staff is phenomenal, the range of services offered are awesome, and my dog is always SO excited to go. The grooming service is both convenient and always great quality! The groomers there are amazing and so good with my high energy pup! It’s such a good peace of mind to know that when I can’t be with my furry best friend that he has a safe clean fun place to go! I cannot thank them enough for all that they’ve done for me and my dog!

We had a dog sitter cancel, and had to find a way to board our dog at the last minute during spring break (when every dog boarding business had been booked for weeks already). Even though they were fully booked, my dog is so tiny, they agreed to make an exception in her case. Then, they went out of their way and bought her a playpen just her size. We are so grateful they took such good care of her. She will only stay here from now on.

Doggie Playhouse is exceptional and we would highly recommend them. We have been bringing our dog Rocket 2-3 days/week for full day care since he was a puppy, and he adores it there. They take fantastic care of Rocket, he loves playing with staff and all the other dogs, and he always comes home happy, exhausted, and clean. We have also boarded several times as well and they treat Rocket like their own. We tried a few other dog daycares & boarding before coming here, and Doggie Playhouse is clearly the best in the area. We love them!

I have been bringing my dog Bentley to Doggie Playhouse for daycare everyday while I go to work. He comes home exhausted and exercised! He goes to Jeff happily and comes out happy. I highly recommend Doggie Playhouse! I have also boarded Bentley for vacations and weekends away and I know I can leave him in their care without worry! Thanks Jeff, Joe, Denise and all the terrific staff for taking care of my guy!

I love that they are close by and you don’t need a “reservation” for regular day care! The building seems as if it used to be a home (?), but it’s nice because I think it would feel more familiar to any dog over more of a kennel setup. My boy Jax had a great time and came back happy 😊

We have been taking our dog, Gabby, to Doggie Playhouse for doggie day care & for the occasional kennel stay for just over a year. She does great! She loves the people & becomes a shop dog, behind the counter with the other little dogs. Excellent!!! The staff is friendly and the dogs love going there. It is clear that the people really truly care about the dogs staying with them!!!

Jeff and the team at Doggie Playhouse are the best!! Our dogs LOVE going to play at DP. The staff treats all the dogs like family.Can not say enough about Doggie Playhouse. Our little Moose runs to say hello to Corey in the grooming room everytime he goes to play if she's there!!! Our pups are so excited when they go to Doggie Playhouse to spend the day!!!

My dogs go here for grooming and they are just so sweet and kind. They welcome us in every time like we’re no strangers. They cut our dogs the exact way we want it and there’s never an issue to be fixed. Thanks Doggie Playhouse for all the hard work you put into our puppies❤️

Our two dogs stay with Doggie Playhouse regularly. One’s a challenging case, but Doggie Playhouse has always been very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend!
