I decided to switch my dog, Belle, to Stay and Play for her daycare/boarding/grooming needs to save some money (and not have to deal with a call center.) Today was her first day, and I have to say that our experience thus far has been OUTSTANDING! All of the employees have been absolutely wonderful and friendly. I even received a little report card for her when I picked her up! They were very accommodating with getting us booked right away for boarding next weekend. Im very excited to see her enjoy herself at Stay and Play!

Our Jack absolutely loves his time at Stay and Play Pet House. We have taken him for daycare a handful of times and are always so happy with the love he receives from staff. He comes home happy and exhausted (which is hard to achieve in a 5 month old lab mix). This weekend we are boarding for the first time and the staff were extremely informative and helpful with what to expect & what to bring. We are first time dog owners who think of our Jack as another one of our children and feel extremely confident in this businesses ability to care for and most importantly love each dog that walks through their door. I can't speak highly enough about how much we appreciate their care.Update: He has completed a full weekend of boarding. He had an amazing time from what we could tell, couldn't even keep his eyes open on the ride home! When dropping off the employee asks very specifically how you would like to have your pup fed, treats, what kind of toys/blankets they can have at night, if you want them to do anything special. I was very impressed and will definitely be boarding again.

Love how they celebrate birthdays here. Love that I got a report card with my dogs behavior. Love that I felt safe leaving my dog there. Love that my dog came home tired. Love that this was all included in the daycare cost instead of others that now charge extra for things. It means the world to us customers. We shouldnt be charged an extra dollar to insure the safety of our pet. (Yes another local daycare does this)

Friendly staff and most attentive dog grooming we have found in town. Dog looked great when she was all done.

I had the unfortunate problem of having my poodle's groomer cancel the appointment at the last minute and my dog, Sadie, needed to be lovingly cared for. I had seen Stay and Play Pet House a few times as I drove by, so I took the chance and drive over to see if I could get my service dog taken care of. I was warmly greeted by Sherry Slife, and told her if my plight. Sherry called her business partner, Cassandra Running from the other room, and asked if she could fit me in. Although Cassandra's schedule was booked until Friday, she spoke with her staff and asked them if they could stay a little longer so she could groom my service animal. Her staff were eager to help out.Two and a half hours later, Cassandra called me and let me know that Sadie was ready. When my service dog came out from the back, she looked great! It was much better than I expected, Cassandra really put in the extra effort to make Sadie look her best.I can tell from how my dog acted after the grooming that she was treated with great care and a tender hand. That is very important to me as a animal lover and service dog owner and trainer.What Cassandra and Sherry did not know is that Sadie is the face of the Fox Valley Technical College service dogs. She has help many students get through mid-terms and finals as an emotional support animal.I highly recommend this new business and welcome them to the Oshkosh area. Their professional level of service and friendly demeanor, have earned them a loyal customer.

This is one of the BEST GROOMERS IN Oshkosh. We take are little boy in every three months and they do a fantastic job. And he gets so excited as soon as we pull into parking lot loves going there!

I have to say that my dog was really tired when he got home, and being a 7 month old Shepard he is full of energy 24/7. I feel like he was playing and enjoying himself all day long. I even called to check in on him and make sure he was behaving while I was not there. the woman who I spoke with was so nice and friendly and knew who my dog was and that he was being a very good boy. I really like that the staff knew who my dog was and could speak as to how he was doing without having to get information from someone else. I will absolutely be going back in the near future and will reccomend them to anyone who needs a sitter for there dog.

Waylon loves stay and play! He gets so excited as we pull up to the parking lot, and always leaves tired and ready for a long nap. I appreciate the staff so much for their kindness and for always taking such good care of Waylon.

I have been taking my dog to Stay and Play for almost a year and I have no complaints. I have used their services weekly for daycare & boarding. The staff is very friendly and I can tell they love what they do. I'm always greeted with a smile and my dog is always excited to go and comes home exhausted from playing so hard. Prices are very reasonable for the service. Would highly recommend!

Taken my dog here a few times for daycare. They're so friendly and outgoing, Blue always comes home exhausted (which is the goal lol). And I adore they're little report cards they send home. I won't go anywhere else!

Lovely facility. Great groomer. They did a really good job on our Shitzu. Haircut looks good and was done on time. They took time with him and worked with his attitude.

I think this is the first time I've seen my pup smile in her sleep. She is beat from a day at doggy daycare. She's been there twice, once for boarding with a day at daycare and today just for daycare. She definitely needs a bath afterwards but I feel confident in leaving her here once a week. A tired dog is a good dog. The hours are super convenient and the pricing is fair. I am thankful to have them right in Oshkosh.

Have been going to stay and play now for probably 2 years. Stumbled upon them when we were unable to book at the last minute with another boarding facility in Oshkosh for a family death. They were so incredibly accommodating and I immediately felt welcome and safe with bringing our two dogs there. Since then we have boarded regularly when we are unable to bring the dogs with us. Starting last year we began adding day care to their stays and oh my goodness they seem to love it! I've watched them on the live TV screen in the lobby and they both are having a blast even before I leave! They come home after their stay tired and happy! Am now planning to add some days of daycare when I need them out of the house for renovations etc.What a find this business was! And both of the owners are just as kind and helpful as can be! Have even given me recommendations on trainers for one of our pups. The place is always clean, you never know dogs were staying there by the smell, and in addition they sell some awesome food and pet products🐾🐾Would highly recommend them to anyone who asked!

I have been a dog owner for all my life and I am 60 years old. During this time I have not found a place that could take better care of my animals. The owner bent over backwards to get my senior little dog in the same day I called. She explained things very clearly and thoroughly and did a little extra care for no additional charge.I will not ever be looking for another place to board or groom my animals this will be the place.They showed a great deal of concern for the well-being and excellent treatment to my dog. I have never seen better care!

We tried for about 5 months to really love this place but I just can’t. I first off want to say the price is great, the staff is wonderful, the report cards after a day of daycare is a nice touch but the outside play area with the gravel is AWFUL! Our dog is a very active playful pup and I know doesn’t stop running around while playing there. Each time we have gone he has come up tired and with very sore feet. We tried using the recommended paw balm with zero luck. This last time he went was our final visit unfortunately. All 4 paws are severely infected and he can’t walk at all. Another $300 vet visit for us. We had to take him a few weeks ago for severe dehydration (couldn’t stop throwing up). In the last few months he he also contracted kennel cough from this facility. I need to add to the grooming we had there once was soooo not good. We wish we could still bring him in but unfortunately we need to find a place for him to play with grass or something less damaging to his paws.

We have dropped our puppy off here a handful of times now for daycare. The first two times he came back with paw infections from the gravel. We mentioned this to the staff and they explained how some dogs have a difficult time with the gravel so they now pack our dog's paws with wax to protect his feet and it works great! Our dog is always excited to get dropped off here and is completely worn out and happy when we pick him up! Great staff and the little report cards are cute.

Amazing staff! They were all so sweet and accommodating of everything. This was my first time boarding my little man and he did great! 10/10 boarding!Just one thing after you send your pets there, try to keep some paw wax on hand as the gravel could irritate their feet.

I read a review on here that was not pleasant and I am shocked. I have experienced many daycare, boarding and grooming places with our dog and Stay and Play is one of the very best.So, please trust me when I say this:The communication is wonderful. They inform you in detail about the services they provide, including cost, hours of operation, pick up times etc. They take time to listen to and answer your questions and concerns in a very kind, thoughtful and helpful manner.The daycare is wonderful and times that I've stopped in, it's very clear that this is not just a "drop off and let the dogs play" but a true daycare service were they really interact with the dogs. They really do care about every pet there.Boarding services I have not fully experienced but when I have asked about it, it seems very very fair and very good. In fact when family and friends come this way, this will be a top suggestion of mine.Grooming is great. We have a dog that is scared of baths, but she does great at Stay and Play. In fact that is the only place our girl is comfortable having it done. A friend of ours was having issues with grooming so I suggested Stay and Play and the dog got the best haircut he has ever gotten.Dog food treats etc: They have high quality products at a fair price.

When I lived in Oshkosh I would take my Mastiff there and she LOVED it!! The staff loved her and she loved them! It was amazing! I moved to North Dakota last year and I am currently headed to Mackinac Island in the UP and drove 5 hours out of the way just so my dogs could be boarded there. I trust these people with my dog and I know she will be loved and cared for! I was concerned about the pebbles but I found out that the city basically forced them to have it but the owners do such an AMAZING job washing the puppies paws and making sure that everyone is safe and happy. I couldn’t ask for a better place to board my dog while I’m gone. Hands down, the best doggy daycare I’ve ever gone to.

Stay and Play Pet house rocks!!! When we needed to leave our two dogs last year I researched the area options. When I called Stay and Play Pet House they were so kind and helpful when figuring out what would be best option wise for our two dogs. Dropping off and picking up went smoothly and they are incredibly flexible with times which is helpful when coming home from vacation. Our dogs just stayed a second time and our family gets a good laugh out of the detailed playtime report cards for each dog :) I highly recommend this place and have nothing negative to say!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stay and Play Pet House! My dog absolutely loves going and playing with all the other pups. I had never used doggy daycare before and was anxious to see how he would do. I know he is well taken care of with how excited he gets in the morning when we leave. The staff are extremely professional and don't mind at all if I call to check in and see how he is doing when I work long hours. Staff were very helpful when he was experiencing some irritation on his paws from the pea stone. The sell an inexpensive product called Paw Guard that I can apply in the morning before we leave. He hasn't had any issues since!! Everyday we get a report card with who he played with and how he did during the day. If you are considering or looking into a doggy daycare for your pup, look no further!!

After our usual dog sitter fell through I was able to get in to Stay and Play last minute. Cassandra was very accommodating and worked with me via email and then upon arrival. Our dog has extreme separation anxiety and she was able to accommodate his needs. Although he had a first rough night, Cassandra and her staff kept me in the loop. I was able to stay in contact with her and get updates. I am forever grateful that they worked with him on his anxieties and allowed him to stay the full weekend. Koda will be going back there in the future and it's so comforting knowing there is a boarder and daycare in the area to trust. Thank you again. We will recommend your business 100%!!

Our dogs, Annie and Duke, love spending their days at Stay and Play! The staff and owners are extraordinary and do a great job in getting to know the dogs and their owners. Just brought them there for grooming yesterday as well and they came back looking amazing. We also really enjoy the daily report cards - good to know who your dogs are hanging out with :)! I highly recommend them to anyone in Oshkosh area!

I absolutely love stay and play for my pup Coco. The staff is excellent with her, she's always so excited to get dropped off and play with her new friends. There's tons of energy in my pup when I drop her off I was worried at first (maybe she'd be a little much) not a problem at all they excel at playing with your dog and others. She's always well taken care of and well exercised when I pick her up. I would reccomend stay and play for anyone looking to drop their pup off at a daycare.

Once again it was great working with these people. It's their 3 year anniversary today! Congrats! First time bringing my dog over the weekend. They specialize notes for when you pick up regarding how they did each day. And very easy to work with regarding not knowing if my dog would be able to do daycare or need the one on one session. Very easy to work with.

Decided to take our dog here while we went on vacation. Figured we'd splurge on her instead of taking her to our usual place. We didn't know when we would get back (there was a variance of 2 days) so we booked time for the longest we would be gone and told them that we would pick her up by the established date, latest, but more likely 2 days earlier. I would like to note that paying to reserve those 2 days of buffer wasn't an issue. What was the issue was what happened when we picked her up. Neither my girlfriend nor I were pleased with the attitude we were given by the person at the counter when we arrived early, who basically gave us the "why are you here" look. We were also not pleased that our dog did not get the service we paid for. Instead of socializing with other dogs, she was sentenced to one-on-one play time with another person for the duration of her stay due to her rough-housing nature. Look, I get it, if you're nervous the dog might be a problem, you do what you think is best, but don't charge for a service you don't provide. Furthermore, I don't know what happened, but she refuses to eat her food now. We know for a fact that she was fine before she got there and now she won't eat anything but snacks. She actually cowers away from her bowl. Something stinks here, and I for one can honestly say that I have no interest in going back here.

I would highly recommend Stay & Play! We have been taking our puppy for daycare and he loves it! The staff are so kind and truly care about each pet. The facility is always clean and they are extremely accommodating. They also get a “report card” when you pick them up telling you how they did each day!
