Best decision I ever made! My dog LOVES her days at The Doggie Playhouse! I know she is well cared for, and she comes home tired after a full day of play. Can’t recommend them enough!!

In April 2025, I brought my pup, Winnie, to The Doggie Playhouse to be boarded while my family and I went on vacation. It was the first time she'd ever been boarded, or away from us for an extended period of time, and so naturally, we were nervous about leaving her. While we were on vacation, Joe did an incredible job of reaching out throughout the week to update us on how Winnie was doing. Much to our surprise , Winnie adjusted quickly and had an absolute blast spending the week with the entire Doggie Playhouse family. Since then, Winnie has had weekly play dates with her new dog pals at the doggie daycare. She absolutely loves it there. She's a very high energy dog, and being there for the day totally wipes her out (which I love). She gets to spend the day running and playing with other dogs. It's done wonders teaching her how to appropriately interact with other dogs, and it's certainly helped chill Winnie out at home. All the staff members are kind, friendly, and professional. The facility itself is clean and easily accessible. I highly recommend taking your pup there whether it's for boarding or daycare. Joe and his team are the best!

We used The Doggie Playhouse for our 16 year old dachshund, Peaches, who had never stayed in a doggie daycare before during my daughter's graduation ceremonies at UD. We could not be more pleased with the care that Joe and his staff provided. I can mention Kaitlyn, Danielle, and a young girl who's name I did not get that was playing with Peaches on the floor when she was the last dog there when we picked up on Saturday. They all were welcoming and helped a very apprehensive Peaches to become comfortable with being there. I would definitely use The Doggie Playhouse again and recommend it to any owner who is looking for a caring place for your pet.

I had to put my puppy in daycare because I work 12hr shifts at night and when I get home she wants to play and I want to sleep. This place has given me peace of mind knowing that she is being watched by people who love dogs and getting the exercise she needs while I get the rest I need. Their hours allows me to drop her off when I get off and pick her up before I go back in! They are also super affordable!

We have been clients of The Doggie Playhouse for over 10 years ever since our dogs were pups. The Doggie Playhouse’s staff are the only other people besides my mother that I would trust to provide the level of care to our dogs that I require. Our dogs are considered our children and we now consider Kelli, Joe and the staff part of our extended family when it comes to caring and loving our fur babies. I highly recommend them. Having Kelli, Joe and the staff involved in the care of your dogs will bring you peace of mind and you will wish you had gone to the Doggie Playhouse sooner. We are blessed to have Kelli, Joe and the staff in our lives.
