My Pups are definitely loved just as much as My children. Couple of weeks back I had to find a boarding home for my Pups. Let be just say this was a stressful process, so many reviews to go through so many questions to ask. With one of them having medical issues it was that much more stressful 😩
BUT LET ME TELL…
Dog Days has been our go-to place to board our dog for a few years now. Alex and Marissa are wonderful people who care for all of the dogs like they are their own. They always text us pictures of our dog while we are away and keep us informed on how she’s doing. Their facilities are clean and the kennels are spacious. We used to board our dog at Lucy’s, but Dog Days is far better in my opinion. They have both indoor and outdoor play areas, which is important to me because my dog cannot be outside much during the hot months of the year. I love that she can both play in the AC and get fresh air outside everyday while we’re gone! When our dog was most recently there for boarding, she had an old health issue flare up. Alex and Marissa took her to the emergency vet for us and stayed with her while she received care. They go above and beyond for their dogs!

Joel A.1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Joel has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Firstly, I never post reviews but Dog Days has been such a wonderful and amazing experience for my dog Kally. She has been coming since she was 5 months old and is now a 1 year and 2 months and has the same excitement to go and play with her friends at daycare. Alex and Marissa have been wonderful throughout the whole process and doing special things with events for dogs and owners such as Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day where they do little paw prints on a card and wearing a cute little bandana.
My dog Kally gets all her exercise in for the day and knocks out like a rock when we get back home. If you’re looking for a daycare and friend for your dog, Kally will definitely run them out of energy as much as she runs herself out. My wife and I are happy to know that Kally not only gets the needed social and exercise time she needs but find so much comfort that Alex sends us updates, pictures and videos!
Lastly, the app is so nice I’m being able to book a separate boarding session, grooming, nail cutting, and etc. It also has the capability of seeing your dogs in the playpen as they play and rest.
5/5* Dog Days has by far exceeded my expectations and gone far above what we needed as a family.

Thanks for your kind review Joel. We love having Kally here. I'm glad the other dogs can help drain some of that energy for you. We look forward to continue hosting Kally!

Dog Days was a home saver for us! When we adopted Kitti she had severe separation anxiety and couldn’t be left alone for any amount of time. Dog Days was a great option to keep her from tearing up our doors with the bonus that she was able to socialize. Even as she’s learning to be alone for an hour or two at a time, Kitti LOVES Dog Days. She runs to the door in the morning and is beyond excited to be greeted by Alex. At pickup - whether she’s been there a few hours or an entire day - she practically refuses to leave. Best of all she comes home sooooo tired and happy. Alex and Marissa feel as invested in her happiness as we are. It’s genuinely like leaving her with family.

Extremely satisfied. Wasn’t sure how well our dog was going to get along with others and they took the time to slowly introduce him to others with a watchful eye and sent videos along the way. Definitely going to use them again.
