This groomer is conveniently located near our place. I brought my Yorkie to get groomed. From the moment I called to schedule to the moment I walked out the door I was blown away by the customer service.The people were so friendly, had answers to all my questions and are very willing to accommodate and are open to any feedback.My dog’s haircut is lovely and I was surprised to see a tie on him. He is looking like a stud. My dog’s hair is so soft and he smells so good. Amber did such a wonderful job and I forgot to express I usually keep his tail hair longer and she figured that out so she didn’t cut the hair there very low! That was impressive to me that she noticed and didn’t cut it off.

I just had my 4 dogs groomed with Lisa and the other groomers. They came back most importantly, happy. But the grooming was perfect. My Standard poodle is a pretty pretty princess now! The other 3 look great, but they don’t require special cuts. I’m not taking them any where else ever. I’ve been looking for a groomer for two years since moving to the area. Thank you everyone at Dogs at Play. Lisa has created an amazing space and that is not a small accomplishment. I remember when she boldly opened it and can definitely see that she has not lost her love for her dogs and the work that it entails. Try her first and save yourself time!

Lisa and her staff are OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! Lisa works tirelessly to make sure that her four legged clients are happy, safe and well cared for when they are at Dogs At Play. The location is always clean and well stocked with great treats and toys for any occasion that a pet owner might have. Thank you for everything, Lisa!Frankie

Dogs at play is a great place to care for your pet if you need them. we left our lab with them this past weekend and we were so pleased. Kyra was his care giver and she cut his nails and they took Murphy and extra night because we could not get back. They are wonderful on how they care for your dog. I am so thankful they are close to us and our dog loves going there. Thank you, Dogs at play fir the loving way ypu care fir Murphy and going the extra mile when we need you. We will be loyal customers

My dog loves this daycare! (And so do I!) Allie has been going to daycare with them for over a year and now one of her favorite words is “daycare.” She gets soo excited to see her favorite staff and loves being able to play with other dogs. I love that she has a place to get her energy out when it’s too cold/bad weather to go to the park. (She comes home exhausted every time 😁) Allie also doesn’t like being home alone so it’s super nice to drop her off somewhere she enjoys/is comfortable on days when I’m out and about. Also the staff here are basically dog whisperers. They’ve helped Allie to have better social skills and respect for authority. Highly recommend!

“Play hard” - no kidding!Happened to family friends with their 5-month old puppy - They picked up their puppy after trusting this place to watch her for an afternoon, and noticed she was limping. They took her to the vet and found she had a broken leg and needed surgery which cost $2,500. The vet also said she would get arthritis from the injury later in her life. These people never called to tell them that there was an incident and the dog got hurt, and despite saying they have cameras everywhere to keep an eye on the dogs when asked to see the camera footage to see how she was hurt they said she got injured “off camera” (hmmm - how convenient!)I would urge anyone to take their dog anywhere else before leaving it with these people. They are irresponsible and negligent at the very least. Should something happen to your dog under their “care” they will not give you a courtesy call, offer an apology, will duck all responsibility, and despite claiming to have cameras they clearly are not keeping an eye on your pet.

I’ve boarded my dogs here twice and taken them to daycare here, they really love it and the people who work there are so kind and really care about your dog. I have one very anxious dog, and my other dog who likes to act tough, and they work with them so well. Very accommodating. Definitely recommend!

The owner and her staff absolutely love what they do and it shows in the care they give to the dogs. Lisa and her staff are absolutely amazing. My dog goes to daycare daily, I know that he is cared for and loved every day I bring him there, allowing me to focus at work

Here's your 1 star for breaking my dog's leg and then calling the cops on me like the petty B you are. My dog was at this facility for 1.5 hours and came home with a broken leg . Apparently when you sign that piece of paper that means they can abuse your dog

I love this place. So does my dog!! He always gets so excited when we pull up. They are so sweet with the dogs and are sure to pair them with other dogs that match their play rate and mood. Also they have comfortable options for solitary play and overnight care. He always leaves happy and tired!1/14 update-we go here mostly for nail trims now but my guy still loves this place. They are so good here they have taught him to be completely comfortable with nail trims. He used to need a muzzle not anymore! They love him up and he always gets plenty of treats. They are great here.

Brought my girl in to get her nails trimmed this evening. It was super fast and the staff were extremely loving and patient with my pit who’s very hyper and had anxiety! 10/10

We had our puppy Bea here Monday through Saturday. Our Bea did great!! The staff treated her amazing & Bea did really good here. She even got a groom & her nails clipped. I will definitely bring her back when the family & I go on vacation.

I really hate doing this but it's time. We brought our two dogs in over our honeymoon 3 years ago. A basset hound and a dogue de Bordeaux. We talked to the owner before hand telling her our ddb needed someone familiar with big dogs (French mastiff, like the dog in the movie turner and hooch). He is a big boy and stubborn as hell. She told us no problem she was a trainer I think, and she'd have the right staff on. We had our boys there 2 or 3 days so they got a bath and a nail trim. I will remember this next part until the day I die because it broke my heart, both my boys were shaking so much when we picked them up it was heartbreaking to watch. They couldn't get out the door fast enough. They shook the whole way home. Several weeks later it was time for a bath. We use the hose outside and my ddb saw us grab the hose and he ran into the house ran to the corner of our bedroom just shaking. SHAKING LIKE I WAS GOING TO HURT HIM!!! we tried again. Same response. We ended up giving him a bucket bath but then the nails. My boy always had let me clip and file his nails. He didnt like it, but he let mom do it. When I tried he went full on red zone at the clippers and me. Biting and snarling i was actually afraid of my baby. He was so afraid he peed and pooped. Can you imagine what he went through? To this day he needs to be knocked out to get his nails trimmed. Thanks dogs at play for giving my poor puppy mill rescue, puppy mill tortured (ripped off a toe and a toenail) dog.......life long PTSD regarding bathtime and nail clipping.Please think twice about leaving your dog here. These are really not good people. We thought they were too. We had brought dogs here for years before this. I'd give anything to go back in time and save my dog from this.

Every time we bring our dog to board at Dogs at Play, she comes back smelling good and feeling happy, looking healthy and we get great reviews and details from the staff there. You can tell that they really care about the animals at this dog boarding/daycare community.

I absolutely love bringing my 3 month old puppy here. The employees and owner are true dog lovers and put my mind at ease when I'm at work and leave my most valuable possession with them. Everyone is so down to earth and I can't wait to continue my relationship with them as Mena grows!

We absolutely LOVE Dogs at Play! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Whenever we bring our dog in they greet him by name. Upon pickup we get a nice report about how the day went. Our dog is always super tired the rest of the night which is perfect. Highly recommend!

We have been bringing our puppy to DAP for a few months now and we are obsessed. I can take the pup on the longest walk ever and it still would not tire her out like a day at doggy daycare. It is such a great service, easy drop off and they love my puppy. The staff are all so kind! You can tell they treat my dog well by how happy she is when we drop her off. Good prices too!

The place always smells horrible and my dogs have come home with the nastiest stained paws. They’ve been so dirty that picking them up actually triggered an allergy I’ve never had before, so I’d have to bathe them as soon as I got them home. On our last visit, one of my dogs had an awful grooming injury, and we’ve never gone back since. Way better options in the area.

1st play date yesterday which my dog really enjoyed. I also asked groomer to clean her ears and groomer noticed one ear appeared getting infected. This enabled me to get her to her Vet before she had anything serious. Also had her nails trimmed and they were perfect. Staff so nice and loving to dogs. 5 stars as far as I'm concerned.

We go here for dog grooming only & they do great job. Usually its easy to get in. Yesterday, I asked if I could bring another dog that is staying with me for a nail trim & they made room on the schedule & she was a little skittish with all the dog noise & they took 2 groomers to pet her & sooth her & talk to her while they trimmed. How sweet! (This 🐶 is a 14 year old rescue with lots of issues & they they used so much love & kindness!)

My dog has very fine hair. I told them to cut and leave about a half an inch. The groomer made a decision to leave it longer. She was very worried about that but I am so pleased that she did do that. My poor Daisy would have looked like a rat. Now she's a beautiful little Maltese. I am very very happy with Daisy's haircut

I love this place! My dog, Bolt, always has a wonderful time! He's a handful but the staff doesn't seem to have any issues with him. Great staff that knows dogs. It's a wonderful mini Disney land for your pooch to run and play and be a puppy all over again. They keep it clean (as clean as a doggy daycare can be) , the staff is courteous, and they are great with the dogs!

Dogs at play kenneled our dog and i would have given 5 stars but I asked them to give our dog a bath before we picked him up as we always do and no did it. I was disappointed

We've been taking our dog, Rambler, there for years! They take really good care of him while we're away. He's also nice and tired when we pick him up! We highly recommend their services!!!

We have been bringing our dog to DAP for daycare and grooming for 10 years now. He loves it there and we love Lisa and all the staff for how well they take care of our big boy. Thanks DAP!
