I never thought I would say this, but my dog loves to go stay at the boarder! Once she became familiar and comfortable after a few stays it became her home away from home. Any time I go out of town for work she will check in for a few days, she goes in with her tail wagging and comes out content and tired a few days later.I wish they had cameras so I could check in occasionally, I love when they post photos to Facebook. But the most important thing is that she wags her tail and runs forward when we enter the door, that seems like a doggy 5 star review.

We love this place - our Saint Bernard, Leo, loves going for daycare as well as kennel stays. The staff is friendly, rates are reasonable and we haven't had any scheduling issues. Highly recommend.

Our pup loves this place. We have had her here for daycare, short stays and long stays. The staff are so caring and attentive. We have been to other places where our dog has been scared to go in even after multiple visits. That is not the case here. She runs in and wiggle butts to the first person she sees. She’s always worn out and eager to go back.

The care, cleanliness and knowledge of staff and grounds make me feel 100% dropping my 7yo grumpy gal at Dog Days & Cat Naps for daycare and extended vacation stays. And shes always so tired after a day of play!! Perfect solution on days I can't get her walks in and for trips we can't take her on!

Great calm atmosphere — where else will your pet get a fleece blanket, soft music, and a nightlight at bedtime? It is very clean and well-priced. Love that daycare is included with boarding, it made me worry less about being gone. Lila and staff were great, and I was even able to call for updates on how the pets were doing. Next best thing to home!

My dog and my mom's dog had to be boarded for the first time ever last weekend. We chose Dog Days and Cat Naps because of the outstanding reviews they have. We were not disappointed! The staff gave me a tour beforehand and answered any questions I had. They took great care of Milo and Copper. They also had no problem with me calling while we were away to check on the pups. Definitely recommend!

Bruno and I absolutely LOVE Dog Days and Cat Naps!!! The staff is always super friendly and very accommodating. The facility is always clean and smells good, unlike other boarding facilities I have checked out. I would not trust any other boarding place with my baby when I have to be away. They also run a great fall special and give you a discount for paying in cash which other places do not do. I highly recommend Dog Days and Cap Naps!!! :)

We love this place. We've been coming here for years. We recently had to try another place and I am so glad that we were able to get our dogs back in here for our recent vacation. The staff really seems to care and the facility is great. We love that it has an outdoor play yard/running around area and that it's conveniently located for us. Rates are very reasonable.

My dog has been to a few different daycares and she has chosen this one as her favorite. She is the most excited when I take her here. She loves the staff they are super nice. Great place.

Great place, we boarded our pup there when we went on vacation. They ensured us our pup was doing great and she even wanted to stay & play. The facility was very clean and well organized. The staff were very caring & knowledgeable.We will for sure be going there again!

We took our bulls here for the first time while we went on vacation. They had a great time and loved being here. They took great care of them and they got lots of love and snuggles. Pricing is great as well. Just happy we found a place that we trust with our 3 babies. Ps, the bulls are American Bulldogs and not actually bulls 😉

I spent a lot of time doing research and reading reviews because we have never had to board our 2 dogs (ages 1 and 7). We will have to later this year and I was nervous about just leaving them for a week so we wanted to start taking them some place to get them familiar with it (okay to make me feel better about it). Read great reviews about here and when we went for a tour of the place and to get more info i felt great about it.The first visit they were a little hesistant to be taken away but went. Which usually our pup whenever we take her to a place shes usually a little shakey and try and hide behind us. She was a little shakey but went right away. They came home tired and happy.The second time was for a weekend and dropping them off getting out of the car both very excitedly went in and no hesitation or even looking back which made me happy they obviously remembered and liked it there. They are able to be boarded together in a larger kennel which is nice!When you walk in they have cameras on the wall so its fun to try and spot your pups and see them having a good time. Clean place and the prices were about average compared to other places I researched. They have a couple indoor rooms and several outdoor and figure out what group of dogs yours will best fit with. When we toured there was a dog on his own but it was the way he preferred it so they are very accomidating to whats best for your pup.

A wonderful place for our furry family. They remember my dogs by name, and their personalities. When we bring both dogs they kennel them together at night, and that makes our dogs happy. It seems crazy but, our dogs actually love going there. I think my dogs like the people at Dog Days better than us. LOL I would most highly recommend.

We have taken our dogs here for over 8 years. It is the best place we have experienced. Friendly, clean and our dogs get great loving care. Our dogs love going here.P. S. The few negative reviews are completely bogus and posted by morons.

We boarded our 2 dogs here, while we were on vacation. The staff was great! They provided me with their status when I called to check on them. We will definitely be using their services, in the future. Thanks so much!

My wife and I wont board anywhere else. Having owned dogs for more than 40 years and dealt with many boarding facilities I can say I have not worked with as good a staff and facility. Lila and her staff do an outstanding job with our dogs - ages:14, 6 and a 12 week old puppy.

Xander LOVES coming here, whether it's for daycare or boarding. He immediately starts whining when we turn on to Beaver because it's like he knows where we're going. We are greeted every time we go in and they verify to make sure how long he will be there. LOVE IT.For those of you that want to watch the live camera all day: they don't have one, but they will post pictures occasionally on their Facebook page. No camera didn't bother us.

Awesome place! Friendly and caring staff with clean facilities. Dropping off for day care is super convenient and their rates are very reasonable (especially when you buy a punch card). Charlie always comes home exhausted.

The facility was clean and fair priced. It seemed like our dog was taken care of well. When we got home he was acting so differently. He was traumatized and took nearly a month to not be so jumpy and skiddish. Not sure of the reason but a little concerned.

I am so thankful for Dog Days & Cat Naps, and so is my dog Charlie! Charlie loves to be able to socialize and be pampered while I work or take trips, and I have peace of mind that he is in good hands when I can't be there for him. I think it's so important to have the daycare feature along side boarding, I would not feel comfortable leaving Charlie with a center that did not offer daycare. Thanks a bunch, keep up the great care!

We've used several companies over the years for boarding and day care, but Dog Days & Cat Naps is our favorite, by far. Lila and her crew have a wonderful facility, which they keep spotless. My youngest dog, Freddie, has a ton of energy and loves spending time there.

The staff are amazing. They take the time to truely get to know you and your dog. They also give a military discount which makes it a no brainier for those who work at nearby camp Dodge.

Clean, fun outside time for the dogs, honest and caring team. The cat room has a window for them to watch the activity going on outside.They helped us out with day boarding while we visited the State Fair.

They take great care of our dog. He always drags me to their front door because he's so excited to arrive. Day care or boarding, they are one of the best.

I will not return. They penalize you for using a credit card. Make sure you hit the ATM machine before you pick up your pet for the lower rate. Also got an additional day charge for picking up my dog in the afternoon. There are other places that don't rip you off like that.
