My baby Franklin has been going here for two years now, and he loves it! He is so excited to go every week and comes home EXHAUSTED. I appreciate that they have thorough evaluations beforehand to make sure a dog is a good fit for daycare. I know he’s very safe and cared for there. I also love that they put a cute bandana on him after his baths.

Doggy daycare has the most friendly and communicative staff I have had the pleasure of working with. They're always understanding and sweet. They are so good with the dogs. I don't want to take my dogs anywhere else.

Reception staff were extremely rude! Our first experience and we will not return. Do the owners know how poorly the reception people treat customers? A lot of eye rolling, muttered comments and cryptic responses. Never again and we were very excited about boarding our dogs here.

Absolutely wonderful place! The staff are so friendly and kind. Boarded my dog for 10 days at the Lansing site while I was on vacation. I received a cute 1st day pic, they notified me when he ran out of food with options of even going to pick some up for him. I even saw pics of him on their Facebook page and could tell he was having a good time. If you're looking for a place you can leave your canine family member and not worry, thus is the place!

We are big fans of Doggy Daycare and Spa, and have been taking our dog there weekly for about a year. Our dog can be a handful at home, so we have been taking him to daycare one day a week to tire him out and give him lots of social stimulation. The staff at DD&S are always friendly and attentive, and we feel very welcome there. What’s more, they are very transparent about their operations. We used to go to another daycare for our dog, and we could only see the play area during specific times and were turned away the first half-dozen times we asked to get a tour. At Doggy Daycare and Spa, we got a tour on our first visit and we were happy to see that the dogs in the play area (about 20 or more) were all playing nicely without barking, in a fun-yet-controlled environment. The vetting process to get in here was more comprehensive than other daycares we’ve been to, but now that we’re in we appreciate the thorough checks they have put in place. Mason used to get kennel cough from other daycares, but we haven’t once had that experience at Doggy Daycare and Spa. They have outdoor space for the dogs to get some fresh air, and pools to cool off in the summer. While the outdoor space doesn’t seem huge, Mason comes home after a day at DD&S ready to relax with us.

This is a really fun place for my 2 boys...they love going there and the staff is great! Just wish they had a camera going so I could watch on occasion remotely.

Been taking our dog here for some time now. She loves going there and they do an excellent job with grooming. Staff is friendly and courteous. Always been a good experience.

We are so grateful for Doggy Day Care and Spa!We travel a lot & work long days. So deciding to get a puppy or not, we worried about time to exercise, socialize and leave for boarding. Here to tell ya, no worries with Doggy Day Care and Spa! Brody has been going for 8 months now and we love the friendly staff who welcome him 2-3 days a week, always calling him by name. It's amazing to see all size of dogs getting along so well. They all run in & out with happy smiles! He sleeps so good on day care nights. It sure makes it more comforting to know that the couple times a year he needs to spend the night that he's comfortable with being there. Plus it's a bonus to get his haircut while there, every six weeks that keeps him looking handsome! Thanks for taking such good care of our fur baby!Sent from my iPhone

I absolutely love this place. I have had nothing but positive experiences since taking my dog here. We were first introduced to this facility because we had taken puppy classes with a trainer that used Doggy Daycare & Spa facilities. My husband and I were very impressed with the layout and cleanliness, and the fact that the dogs also have a large outdoor space to play if they choose. Since taking those puppy classes about 6 years ago, we have continued to take our dog here for overnight boarding and weekly daycare. She loves it there, and they've been very accommodating when she had weird food that needed to have water added, when we've had to cancel a day of daycare at the last minute, or when we've needed to reschedule a grooming day. Jackie is amazing and has always been so helpful and kind. I'd recommend this place to any puppy parent in a heartbeat.

Doggy Day Care and Spa is the very best place to take your dog for grooming. They give your animal so much love and care during their bath, blow dry and hair cut.

My dog Comet loses her mind when we say “Day Care”. Comet is a great dog and walks on heel when we are out. Except for when she gets out of the truck at Doggy Day Care & Spa. She is pulling hard to get inside and play with her friends. I don’t know if the staff knows my name, but they always greet Comet by name. I’m pretty sure it’s because they love her almost as much as I do. And isn’t that what you want when you drop your best friend off somewhere?They also have reasonable rates on grooming. Which they are great at!

Their staff is wonderful, prices are very reasonable. The Establishment is clean, dogs that are there for daycare all seem to get along real good.I have taken my dog there for nearly 10 years for grooming. She loves it and we love how silky and nice she is when she comes back.Very impressed!

Absolutely wonderful! Very professional. Cut exactly how I wanted it. Will definitely be back! My puppy looks great and they were so nice to work with.

Ferguson has been going to Doggy Daycare & Spa for a year now. I am so happy I found this place (we have used both locations). The staff is great and I feel secure knowing that my fur child is well cared for during the day or if he has to stay overnight at "camp". He talks very loudly when he arrives but his tail is always wagging and he is happily exhausted when I pick him up at the end of the day.

I can only go by our dogs - they are excited to go, happy to come home and utterly and wonderfully exhausted from running and playing all day. Staff is great. Car-hop drop-off and pick-up is a nice bonus for doggie guardians!

Our pup Dilly started going to daycare just over a month ago. Absolutely love this place and it's staff. I wish I could post pictures of the cute photos and arts and craft projects they have sent him home with ❤️❤️❤️ We found our forever daycare for sure!!!

This place is amazing! My husband and I just moved into the area and were shopping around for a doggy daycare when we stumbled upon this gem. The staff is amazing and very hard working. Everyday when I pick him up, he is so happy and excited. When I drop him off, he goes straight to the door that joins him with his friends, wagging his tail and greeting the staff with joy. All of the other dogs I see are just as happy and excited to play with Bobo. I am so relieved I found this place. My only advice is to just try it. Your dog will thank you. :)

This is where me and my parents take our two dogs for grooming! They always come back to us looking great and they are reasonably priced as well! The one time I had a problem they fixed it free of charge which was great and my pup came back just how I liked! I love this place!

We absolutely love Doggy Daycare! They greet Zoe by name when we bring her in each and every time. She is so happy on her daycare day to play with the other dogs and see her favorite humans. We couldn't be happier with Doggy daycare daycare and boarding. You must try it!!!

Most of the staff is great and my dog really enjoyed going here so it pains me to leave this review but I cannot feel safe sending my dog there again or trust that this place will take any responsible for the safety of the dogs they care for.I recently received a call while my dog was at daycare telling me that there was an incident with another dog and that he had a small puncture in his leg but that he was fine. None of the staff could tell me what happened because they said no one saw it. I thought, whatever, the mark was small (roughly bigger than the size of a needle poke) and I cleaned it when I got home so nothing to worry about.My dog has had broken nails, come home with small bruises, and gotten sick from daycare before. These types of things are expected to happen at any dog day care. What I did not expect, was that this injury was much more than that.A couple days later, his puncture swelled to the size of a golf ball and burst wide open. After taking him to the emergency vet, it turned out that this ‘small mark’ was 3 inches deep and actually infected. How does this happen? No one at the daycare seems to know, and rather than bothering to check the surveillance tapes to see if something was wrong, I’m told that they have no proof that his injury was even a result of the incident (the incident that they reported to me, which they also said no one saw). I didn’t even get a single apology from any of the staff and instead got to hear the owner Janice deflect my concerns that something in her facility harmed my dog and accuse me that his injury was my fault. I guess since it didn’t become infected immediately it’s now my problem?On top of the mounting frustration of seeing my dog suffer and spending the last few days running back and forth to the emergency vet to have his wound treated, I’m still amazed at how unsympathetic this place has been. I understand that I signed a waiver to send my dog here, but this is not an ordinary injury. I should not have to fear that my dog will be impaled while playing here.$900+ in vet costs later (with still more to come), and having to take work off as well as miss multiple weekend vacations to stay home with my pup (who is currently on sedatives and codeine every day so they can clean and put fresh bandages on his wound), I’m appalled at their response to all of this and will not being sending my dog back here ever again.

We have two 70-90lb golden retrievers that frequently come here for their needs. Only bad thing I have to say over the course of two years is how booked they are for appointments. 😅

I was taking my dog here to get groomed in okemos and was also giving a decent tip along with the price being charged. I picked her up one day after a grooming and them having her there for hours and she smelt the same as when I dropped her off. They cut her but she definitely could not have been bathed at all!! I never went back and my money was was taken!! No stars!! Shame on you all!!😐Picking and choosing what customers you feel like you don't want in your establishment, but you took my money.

We love this place. Our dog stays here when we go out of town. If they don't have openings at Okemos we've always been able to book at their Lansing location. They also groom dogs. They keep the dogs out of cages most of the day in a large play area. Our dog is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend.

Our dog is well taken care of and wants to get out of the car when we arrive at Doggy DayCare and Spa. We are able to see him interact with other dogs as he is having a great time. A friendly staff and clean place. It is paw-fect for him!

The staff is amazing. The place is clean, and a wonderfully healthy environment for my dogs. I absolutely LOVE everyone there. I won't take my dogs anywhere else, they treat your dogs like the family they are to you.

Very helpful. My pup only 6 months old and I was anxious as to how she would do. Staff was patient in helping her around other dogs. Real test will be when I drop her off for 10 days while on vacation.Jan Laughlin

Our dog cannot wait to go to Doggy Daycare. She claws at the door to go in and is alway tired from playing all day when we pick her up. It is obvious that the staff really cares and enjoys being around dogs. We have had nothing but great experiences.

This place looked really awesome online, so I scheduled my dog to come in for a play interview, telling them the truth... shes a boxer mix. I got there and they said she looked too much like a pitbull, ( which is also true, she is part pit) to be enrolled in their daycare. How can a place that deals with dogs on a day to day basis and claims to be knowledgeable about them be so ignorant about breed stereotypes? I have since found another daycare- Camp Bow Wow- that LOVES my pitbull boxer mix and raves about how well behaved she is everytime I bring her in. Their loss- I took my dog and my money somewhere more educated and I suggest you do the same!
