 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is a gem! We had never boarded our little dog before, because I couldn’t bear to think of her being in a cage. When I found Happy Dog online and realized they don’t cage them, we went there to check it out. We were impressed with the free-range concept and large play areas, both indoor and outdoor. They let us have a free “tryout “ morning to see if our dog adjusted well before we boarded her overnight. She did well, and our 2-night boarding was a big success! So glad to have found this place!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog Honey has had excellent experiences with boarding at Happy Dog. She comes home happy and tired in the best way and seems to truly enjoy the staff. She typically spends the rest of the day sleeping off all the fun she had, which is great for returning vacationers who would rather not take her for a hike when we get back from a trip!

He went in for the evaluation and didn’t want to leave. He made a ton of furry friends and had lots to do. They even gave him a bath! 🥰  For a week stay where he can play and be free the price was great! I can’t say enough about how much I love this doggy day care. I mean my dog was actually smiling!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love Happy Dog Care! Our dog, Gus, has been going for daycare here since we adopted him 5.5 years ago. The staff know him well and welcome him enthusiastically whenever we drop him off. We love that they are crate-free and give the dogs the capability of being inside or outside at their pleasure. He always comes home nice and tired! We’ve also boarded him here a few times during vacations and had just as positive of an experience.
