Used to love Spot! Then one of our dogs got bit and they didn't allow us to pick her up a couple hours after closing. They didn't share any pictures or clealy communicate the extent of her injuries.

One of the finest places to leave your dog for daycare, my dog loves to go here and by the end of the day when I pick her up, she’s exhausted and you can tell that she’s had a great time. I love the fact that they connect the Fi collar so that I can see exactly how much activity she did and what is her rest score

Spot for Dogs is the BEST doggy daycare we've taken our pup to. They always knew our Mack by name and were excited to see him, and Mack was always overjoyed to go to Spot. He also came home tired (which is impossible to do because he's never tired!)! We've since moved out of Atlanta for the time being and we miss…

I've been bringing my puppy to Spot's VaHi location for months and could not be happier to have found them! Their prices are extremely reasonable, they take wonderful care of all the dogs here, and I love that they offer Play & Train packages so my very stubborn mini dachshund can learn better manners while she plays with her friends. Especially when we have to board her during trips out of town, it brings me so much peace of mind to know that our puppy is in good hands at a place that she loves! I cannot recommend Spot for Dogs enough!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! 🐾 We absolutely love having Reba! ❤️ It makes us so happy to hear that she loves coming to Spot and that you have peace of mind when she stays with us while you’re traveling. That means a lot to our team! We’re thrilled that Play & Train has been helping her work on those manners while still having fun with all her friends. Thank you for trusting us with her and for being part of the Spot family!

Hi David, I am sorry that this happened to your pup and apologize for the issue. As a 10+ year customer on a 1st name basis with me I was surprised by this situation. With injuries of all severities, our protocol is to communicate immediately with the owner, and seek vet attention as needed or if requested. Fortunately the injury was minor here, and related to a scuffle in the play yard that was quickly ended by our handlers. In this scenario we called you several times, and were able to connect with you near facility closing. We then communicated that we would take your pup to the vet if needed as is our protocol. You declined for us to go to our vet, and wanted to take her to yours in the morning for which we offered and paid for. After facility closing, I received several threating recorded voicemails and emails, that led us to a certain level of discomfort, and I reached out within an hour. I attempted to let you know that our office was closed and the phone is not monitored 24/7, but that we check emails routinely after hours. I then communicated that my overnight staff was frightened by the intense and threatening language, and I would be happy to meet you that evening myself, to which you declined. I once again am sorry your pup was injured, and take full accountability for the injury, but unfortunately had to terminate the professional relationship as a result of the numerous unexpected communications we received.

We truly don’t know what we’d do without Spot Daycare and their incredible staff — they are a godsend. Our dog Timber has been attending daycare and boarding here for nearly two years, and the transformation has been amazing from an anxious, scaredy cat to a much more confident, happy girl. Timber loves Spot. The moment she sees us packing her food, she starts vibrating with excitement and whining, then practically pulls the leash out of our hands to run straight to the staff and play area. She always comes home happily exhausted, and it’s obvious she’s had a full day of fun and enrichment. The staff are thoughtful, caring, and professional in every way. They greet all dogs by name with genuine affection and proactively communicate important updates — even small things like swollen paws from too much enthusiastic play. That level of care means everything to us. We trust the Spot team completely and are incredibly grateful to have them as a care option for our Timber, whether it’s for enrichment, emergency care, or when we’re traveling. It’s clear how much the team cares, and just as clear that the other pawrents feel the same way.

Spot for Dogs is the BEST doggy daycare we've taken our pup to. They always knew our Mack by name and were excited to see him, and Mack was always overjoyed to go to Spot. He also came home tired (which is impossible to do because he's never tired!)! We've since moved out of Atlanta for the time being and we miss Spot so much! We got tons of pictures and updates when we boarded Mack and he was always so happy in them! Mack misses Spot too. Spot is a special place and there is really nowhere that compares in Atlanta!
