Two stars because the dog is okay now. We left him for 5 days and told them were local & to call us if there were any issues. When we picked him up, they hadnt followed the feeding schedule (1/2 cup morning and evening) because half the food, which we had packaged, was not used. Dog had lost skin on his nose probably from pushing on the kennel door. He was super stressed and had diarrhea & bleeding (vet said probably from stress but who knows?) He had visibly lost weight - his ribs were showing and he smelled really bad either due to the conditions or fear & stress. Due to covid, we hadnt

Left my dog for a 2 day stay once. A non-stop cacophony of barking in the back. I've never seen my poor dog so frazzled as after that stay. When employees need to put on hearing protection to go into the kennel area, how do you think that is on a dog's sensitive ears? Any kennel will have some barking, but never heard anything like this before. I assume it is because they are kept close together with no visual separation.

My dog Harlee has gone here for over a year since she was 6 months old for daycare. It is very affordable and sometimes she doesnt want to leave! She has anxiety but finds comfort at this daycare. They have always been flexible with payments for me because it can vary what days she goes during the week. Harlee loves the owner, she gets so excited to see him every time. Some daycares have hundreds of dogs a day, I recommend this daycare as its smaller and less exposed. Highly recommend!

Our dog is.....well to be blunt, she hates other dogs, and barks at everyone. We were so nervous to bring her to a kennel for a long weekend that we considered cancelling the trip. Two days in I called to see how she was doing, they said she was one of the best dogs they have had and she's welcome back any time. The best part is our dog came back and she was different, she changed for the better. Not sure what they did, but she had a great time, and came back happy, healthy, and smelling amazing!!!!

We use Pride and Joy for our rescue when we need an extra hand with our fosters and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mark and his staff. They take excellent care of our pups - we would never take them anywhere else.

Brought our dog here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. She stayed 2 nights, got a bath and her nails clipped. She said she was thrilled with the accommodations and would love go back! Seriously, the staff here is great and their prices are very reasonable. We will definitely use them again.
