I brought my pup there today for his first experience in daycare. I used them for years in the past for my lab and he absolutely loved going there. Today the experience was exactly the same. Their care for these pups is second to none. My little pup was so tired when he got home reminded me of my lane when he came home. The best is picking him up and listening to them tell me all about Murray’s day. I would not take Murray any where else.

PDP is hands down the best doggy daycare I have ever been to. They always, always have the dogs’ best interest in mind and tailor the experience to individual needs. I have a very high anxiety dog and they have helped him grow immensely in his time there. I’ve seen his confidence increase and he’s always excited to go there. All of the employees are so sweet and wonderful and I love the report at the end of each day. 12/10 recommend!

This human and her dog have been completely delighted with our once weekly visits to PDP for almost a year now. To a person the staff is the BEST! They quickly got my shelter rescue adapted to their environment and comfortable within the play groups. Without being asked, they've also occasionally worked with she and other dogs who were hesitant about things like doors. They've also put in extra effort getting her comfortable with baths and nail clipping. There are so many ways that they prove their advocacy for the pets and invaluable resources for pooch parents. My girl loves her days there -- excited to go in the door and happy and exhausted when she comes home. We've also made use of the boarding services and again, all was more than satisfactory. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!

We have been very pleased with all of the services that we have selected with play dog play… including daycare, boarding and private training. The dogs love the environment and the staff is exceptional with them. We highly recommend their services!

Play Dog Play has taken extremely good care of our little girl twice a week for about two years. I know that when we drop her off each morning that she will be well cared for and offered a variety of activities throughout the day. She is comfortably tired and cuddly when she gets home!The employees often celebrate Molly’s arrival and I can tell she’s a Staff favorite. We trust the staff at this location to take care of our little girl.

Wonderful dog daycare where it’s all about the dogs! Truly kind, caring staff who are wonderful with our pup Bella, and she can’t wait to go to daycare and play with all her friends. We have been using Play Dog Play for a year now and wouldn’t even consider looking at a different daycare. The handlers/trainers work with the dogs so they can have the most positive, safe and fun days where we, as dog parents, can feel secure leaving our baby for the day. Thank you.Cathy

Mallory and the PDP team are professionals and their attention to process and detail is evident in every experience with PDP. The well being of your dog and the other dogs attending day care is front and center priority. Our dog Riley has benefited from the structured, supervised and guided play sessions. She is a happier girl when she spends her day at PDP. Thank you!

This is a fantastic dog care business. My young dog has matured so much in a year thanks to the patience and attention by the team that works at Play Dog Play. When she started, she was energetic and eager to play, but she could also get overwhelmed. Now she gets so excited to arrive and play with all her dog friends, and she happily greets whoever is there to take her inside. I love their verbal reports when I pick up my dog at the end of the day. I find out who she played with and what they may have worked on with her. I am very appreciative that my dog has a fun place to attend where I know she is safe, gets to play, and where she clearly likes the people.

We feel so comfortable leaving our pup with the awesome and kind staff at Play Dog Play! We know they are very tuned in to her specific needs. We are confident that during her boarding she was kept safe, secure and stimulated. We highly recommend PDP!!

Where do I start? From their ability to work with behavior reinforcement, to informing fur parents about friends, play style, and even surfacing observations that may need addressing; it is clear they love dogs, take their job seriously, and have the best interest of my baby girl at heart! Highly recommend Play Dog Play.

Fantastic group at this facility. My dog loves it there. There is a lot of love going around. My pup gets excited every time she sees a team member. Exquisite attention to detail and daily reports. Gets plenty of exercise along with rest time, always willing to take clients for last minute scheduling needs. A very impressive staff that works hard so your dog is safe, well treated, exercised and rested.

Our dog Camper (3 yr old bichon) had a Trial Day on Friday (9 hours), and I really appreciate the time spent by PDP’s Mallorie to get it set up. She was very professional and courteous throughout the entire process, including checking him in that morning. At the end of the day, another employee spent some time explaining how well Camper did during his time there, and how he is welcome to come back. My wife and I were very relieved to hear that, and we look forward to his next visit.

The best of the best! My almost 7 year old dog has been going to Play Dog Play for daycare and overnight boarding since he was a puppy. He has some quirks and they work with him through it all! He literally can barely jump in the car fast enough when he knows we’re headed that way. The staff is the loveliest group of folks, some of them we’ve know since the puppy days.

These people are absolutely amazing. I’ve taken my dog to other places and all that happened was he picked up bad habits and got sick. Here he is loved and taken care of better than I can put into words. This is the place everyone is so nice and I’ve seen a huge improvement in moose while he’s been going here. He’s gotten better at social interactions and his energy is more controllable as they teach him when he is being too much. I wish I could give it 6 stars. This place is so great I wrote a review and I NEVER write reviews.

I called tomake a reservation, and I was pleased that I got a prompt reply back that everything was OK and I brought my dog in on Monday. When I picked her up, a young man went out back and brought her to me, and just really handed me the least, and walked away, and normally there’s some conversation about what kind of day she had or was she playing with the other dogs or shying paway something because I don’t bring her often I would’ve liked that kind of feedback because I was wondering how she had been other than that everybody is super friendly and nice there And my dog has no problem going in so I’m sure she has a good time

Our mini-schnauzer (Loba) had her first full day at Play Dog... this week and it seems to have gone very well. We are very pleased so far with the PDP facility and staff. Thanks

We are so thankful for the amazing staff and service at Play Dog Play! They always provide the best care for our pup while we’re away. We’ve been coming here for 8 years and would absolutely recommend to anyone!

I love this doggie daycare and the extra special care they give to each and every dog. I get a report at the end of each day about her social interactions and anything else important. The staff is wonderful and the facility itself smells fresh and clean. So happy to have my girl enrolled in their excellent daycare program!

Play dog play is awesome! My dog Reggie goes to the Pine Street location and is clearly a happy camper every time I pick her up. They take great care of her and are great communicators so I’m never worried about Reggie, even when she’s boarding. Can’t say enough good stuff about this facility, Mallory, and all of the other awesome staff. Thanks for taking care of my girl!

Caring staff, clean facility, good daycare structure, really get to know each dog individually and support their specific needs. And there is a cute store front with high quality food, treats and cute toys. and they sell raw food!

Writing this saddens me. Before yesterday, I would have wholeheartedly recommended Play Dog Play. Our dog had been going to Play Dog Play for nearly four years. During that time, I have had nothing but positive interactions with the staff.My dog is an athlete, he jumps barriers. This has been something that has been an off an on thing for him, and was never brought up as a concern. Early on he'd be on lead until it got under control. It was usually something that was lightheartedly remarked on. The staff had previously noticed that it may have been a fear response to noises or nap time and worked with him. The behavior stopped for a long time. We were given daily progress reports and letting us know about concerns.That was until yesterday when, without warning, I received an email being told that our dog's daycare was discontinued. There were no options given, no plan, nothing. The previous day, we were given a positive report about his day. So the news that his behavior had become a problem came as a complete shock. It ran counter to every experience I had with staff at Play Dog Play previously.I can only say positive things about the staff I worked with during the past four years, but it stings to end things on a sour note with poor communication.

My young dog (1 and 1/2) has gone 3 times once a week and I just decided to schedule her to go a couple times a week. The staff always have great information when I picked her up. I feel like she’s in really great hands. Would recommend!

Our dog loves to come here! We feel so lucky to have found a place where they really assess which dogs should play together (based on age, temperament and energy level). Best staff and a clean facility!

The staff are great - professional, friendly, attentive. They are true dog people, and they know mine well. It feels like they take the time to get to know each dog in their care, and understand their unique needs. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Play Dog Play enough! I rescued a handsome fella named Eddie about a year and half ago. Eddie was clearly mistreated before he was placed with his Rescue Fam. He’s a goofy playful guy, but has been skittish of dogs and people. After going to PDP, I have a whole new guy! While we still have things to work on (he’s still a young dude), he’s gained so much confidence at daycare, it’s honestly just a joy to see. If Eddie hears the word “daycare” (in any context) or I drive by PDP his tail wags, he jumps and gets so excited. Believe me when I say the separation anxiety with Eddie goes both ways, so to be able to drop him off somewhere where he can be a dog and play and I know he’s in good hands is the best gift of all time! Having your pup attend PDP is a must do for you and your little bff!

Our pup went to PDP for 4 years - and he absolutely loved his days at "school", which, I think is worth saying at the start of this review. His affection for the staff is a testament to their talent and care for the pups they oversee. He (and we) truly felt loved by the folks there - and we were always warmed by the daily reports at pickup and that they cared for his success and happiness. Truly the on-the-ground staff are great and deserve to be recognized as such.All that being said - our final interaction with PDP was less than stellar. Over the years and through some management/ownership changes, we have found many of the fringe benefits slowly shaved off while pricing increased. We often got notices about them being understaffed - but chalked all these things up getting back up to speed after the pandemic. But in hindsight it seems likely these things were symptoms of the ultimate communications issue we found ourselves with.We and PDP staff have been working with our dog's occasional "jumping indoor the gates" for his entire time with PDP, but suddenly, a day after we got a glowing report at an in person pickup, we received an email from management stating they could no longer support our dog and that we could no longer return.Ultimately we understand their need to keep dogs safe, and ultimately don't fault the reasoning behind their decision - but moreso are dismayed at their lack of communication about the seriousness of this problem, and the possibility of dismissal from attendance as a result. That anyone who brings their pup here could be unexpectedly blindsided by an email discontinuing their attendance seems like a major red flag.For years I have recommended PDP to friends and colleagues, and your pup will likely enjoy their time with the staff if you choose to bring them there. But I'd be remissed if I didn't warn folks of the potential major downsides of communicating with their management.

When I first brought my dog, Petey, to PDP I thought he was getting special treatment because he's so cute. I soon realized that the PDP staff treats all the dogs there in a caring, supportive way. Being a predominantly terrier pup, he had some behavioral issues that were greatly ameliorated by the knowledgeable staff and since Day 1, Petey has sensed the mornings that he is going to "see his friends" and gets into and out of my car with his little terrier tail wagging like a metronome.We're big fans of PDP!Jed Lowy

We have been using PDP for a little over 2 years, two times a week. They have help socialize our boy and provide exceptional care for him during the day. We love PDP!

I’ve been bringing my dog here for years and he’s always excited when we pull in. The staff is wonderful and they really seem to care about all of the dogs.
