We boarded our 7-month-old anxious puppy here for a weekend while we were away, and we were really worried about how he’d do. However, thankfully he loved it! Their pup cams allowed us to check in on him and he had plenty of other dogs to play with. We also brought him back for a full-service grooming and they did an amazing job with him! The staff is very patient and caring. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

This particular Dog Stop is awesome! Great staff, talented groomers, and we’ve always had nothing but two perfectly groomed pups when we pick them up. Everyone we’ve interacted with there has been so pleasant, friendly, and accommodating.Highly recommend!

The Dog Stop in the Strip is a great place! Our pup has quite the quirky temperament and personality, and the staff have been very patient and kind with getting to know her. She may not be the most active dog while at daycare, but she is still being socialized and best of all taken care of by the great employees. It is great that you can pop on the app and take a look at what your dog is up to throughout the day. It is also very helpful that we can drop her off for a half or full day without any advanced notice. It makes life a lot easier! We would highly recommend it for someone looking for a safe, clean and welcoming place for their pet.

I boarded my dog here for the 1st time for 7 nights. I called every day to check on him as I am psychotic about my pup. Every time I called they either answered or called me back within 30 minutes. They have cameras in all play rooms, so you can check in to see how your pet is doing. My guy had so much fun that he slept for nearly 2 days after I returned home. This is by far the best place I have ever used for boarding...

The Dog Stop in the Strip District is EXCELLENT! I use the daycare, kennel and grooming services. All are top notch and reasonably priced. I have a special needs dog that requires a lot of patience. Chloe and the other ladies are wonderful. I recommend the Dog Stop for those times you can't be with your pooch.

We are boarding our pup here soon and they let us test it out a few days. The people are great and our pup loved it here. I will update after boarding! Update: the boarding went really well, we got pictures and updates and she seemed to enjoy herself.

We have had a great experience with The Dog Stop Strip District! Everyone has been really nice especially Chloe. Our pup Galaxy loves going there. She still has some puppy energy and going there always makes her happy and exhausted from a whole day of playtime. We had a great experience with boarding her last month for 5 days when I went into labor. Would recommend them to anyone who is looking for some stimuli and fun times for their pup!

My wife and I have been using the Dog Stop in the Strip District for about 5 years now and have always had a great experience. The staff members are great, super friendly, and seem to really enjoy what they do. Our dog loves it there, and he generally sleeps for about three days when he comes home, a good indicator that he is getting plenty of play time! I also have to mention that 1) they have always been very accommodating even when I've had to make a last minute booking, and 2) I really appreciate the wide variety of grooming and pet care services that they offer. I highly recommend!

I am taking my dog to this daycare for on one and 1/2 years and he totally loves it. He is so happy to see his friends here (both humans and dogs). We also used the overnight stay and it was great. Knowing that there are such good people there to take care of my dog when I can not is a big relief. And cameras are a great addition to fix my separation anxiety :)I cannot recommend enough this place and the care takes here.

After searching for boarding last minute with no luck anywhere, we found an opening at the dog stop for our 2 dogs. They stayed for 10 days and we saw them happily playing on the cameras all week. They received baths before we picked them up and they even put their bed and collars in the washing machine. In my opinion, this place goes above and beyond. Every dog daycare/boarding place should operate the way the dog stop does. I will only be using them for future boarding. Highly recommended!!

The daycare of dog stop strip district is awesome! My dog was very shy and he didn’t like staying/playing with other bigger dogs. After a few days in dog stop daycare, he seems more confident staying with other dogs. The dogs in dog stop are gentle and friendly. My dog always happy and tired when he get home. The only thing is my dog used to be smelly when he came home but recently he smell much better. I guess they improved their cleaning for daycare room. Highly recommend!

I use the Dog Stop location in the Strip District. My trainer is Taylor. She is SO good at her job, and so incredibly helpful! She is not only helpful in person during training, but I have emailed her numerous times with questions and she always takes the time to send a thoughtful response. I have already noticed a difference in my dogs behavior after just 1 training session! I highly recommend the Dog Stop, specifically Taylor!

This was our first experience leaving our buddy since he was a pup, it's been abiut 7 years. We were hesitant and very concerned with how he would feel during his stay. The first phone call put me at ease. My questions were answered and everyone took their time to walk us through the process.He seems to have had a great time. He was pampered with aromatherapy, treats and cuddles just like at home. They ask important questions on the boarding application and they confirm the information when you arrive. Giving him his meds didn't seem like an issue and the email and photo update was very appreciated.We are excited to have found a place he can go to that is affordable, fun and safe. We can finally vacation without volunteering our busy family and friends to come by to feed and walk him!

We (and our dog) love the dog stop in the strip district. They have welcomed Hank warmly from the beginning, and the staff truly cares about every animal's well being. We are so thankful to have a place with dedicated employees and a great environment to send our dog everyday! The hours are great for people who work a lot as well, and the dog stop is very dependable. Beyond worth it!

We took our 7 month old puppy here for a half-day, to see how he would do with other dogs, as our attempts at socialization for him had been limited due to the pandemic. I called to check on him after a couple of hours and they said he was doing great. When we took him back at the end of the week for another trial run, he eagerly entered The Dog Stop and couldn't wait to go play with the other dogs, so he clearly enjoyed being there. Most impressive was the staff member who greeted him by name at drop off, after only meeting him once 4 days earlier. I would highly recommend The Dog Stop for doggy day care!

We've been using the Dog Stop in the Strip for 3 years for daycare and grooming and love it there! It's a convenient location for us, but also one of the best Dog Stops in the area - the staff is friendly/clearly loves our dogs, cameras are always on, shop is stocked. Also appreciate how reliable they have been through the pandemic and snow.

My dogs love going to the Dog Stop Strip District for daycare! They bark with excitement usually reserved for their favorite park when we drive up. The staff is genuinely kind and caring and very knowledgeable. I buy all our dog food and treats there as well, eliminating an extra stop at the pet store. The facility is clean and (best of all) the pups come home smelling nice, even though they've been busy playing with dogs all day. Love it!

Our dog Max has been going there since she was a puppy. She gets so excited to go see her friends. We also do our grooming there and boarding as well! I Love that you can watch your pup in the daycare setting. You can also call and check up any time. Makes you feel so much better.

We love The Dog Stop! Our pup came here for his first ever puppy classes, and now it's our go-to spot. Whether it's for group lessons, private lessons, daycare (his favorite), or even just a bath, I feel so good sending my dog here! ESPECIALLY because of how much the staff clearly enjoy seeing the dogs.

Filthy. Overcrowded. Understaffed. Imagine leaving your dog at Petco, but with heroin addicts.

I brought both of my dogs to The Dog Stop — my 9 year old Pomeranian is a daycare veteran, but our German Shepherd puppy is my shadow, and we’re still building her confidence. While I’ve loved working from home, it has not helped her separation anxiety, or built her any confidence independent of me.She went three days last week — every day acting like a lamb going to slaughter (no idea where she gets being so dramatic...), and on the second day, the workers told me she was doing well with the calmer group. I know my puppy is a follower, so I thought maybe being around some more confident, active dogs would help with her own confidence, so I asked if she could be with a more active group the next morning, and again, they updated me that she did great!When I dropped her off this morning, she was so excited as I parked! There was no dragging, coaxing, etc., she walked right back with no issues whatsoever! I look forward to her continued progress with daycare!

The Dog Stop in the Strip District is the only place a trust with our puppy. I was initially very anxious of the idea of daycare but my pup LOVES it. She gets so excited when we pull up and the staff treats her like their own. I highly recommend this place.

Leah did an amazing job on our pup's 1st ever grooming today! I was nervous for our dog, and the team even called to let me know how she did. Thank you, Leah and the The Dog Stop team!
