  I left my dog here for the first time for 8 days. He recently injured himself & is getting surgery so I was a paranoid mama. When I dropped him off they listened & wrote down all of the info making me relax a bit. They texted me pictures and video updates. He started off doing individual potty time cause of his injury then (with my approval) moved him to a low energy play group because he was doing better. I even asked if he could go to a normal play group cause I wanted him to be able to play & they responded that they wanted to wait to make sure he was doing ok before doing that. I really appreciated the care & concern they showed. Only mess up was he was supposed to be groomed and didn’t but that’s not a big deal at all to me especially because of how they went above & beyond to keep me informed and comfortable. It’s also very reasonably priced

  Two years later they're still the best! HB always comes home from a long day of chasing girls & tails ! I started taking my puppy to Dave & Jackie in November. I looked at several facilities not only for daycare, but boarding & training as well. Most others do not give tours ( I assume it is because they don't have the same standards or the areas the dogs live in or play in is drastically smaller than VIPs) VIPs goes above & beyond with all that they do- not only do they accomodate my inability to guess what time I will arrive (by having late pick ups/ drop offs), but they have also been a big help with showing me how to control little Chuck Berry so when my father & nieces are around my mother & sister don't have to worry. They also pick him up each morning & drop him off sleepy every afternoon that he goes to what we call school. He prances & jumps with excitement when he leaves with Dave or Natalie each morning when they come to pick him. I have been to VIPs just to play for a few hours in the puppy play area indoors when it was freezing out & stop by regularly ( if my schedule allows) just to say hello. I was uneasy about having my baby go to daycare as the news displays only the worst things, but since I have been going there I have seen nothing but happy healthy dogs having a great time in a clean & well maintained facility. I have recommended them to friends, family, and strangers as I am comfortable saying they are the best- None of the kennels can compare to the room, attention, and love they give each dog each day.

  The whole staff here is awesome, and every time I bring my dog here she is well taken care of! After a couple experiences (both long stays: 18 days/8 days) I’m really satisfied with the work they put into this place. I’ve only had my dog stay for boarding, but the location has a series of other services (some I still need to inquire about); boarding facility entails communal play time for boarded dogs, heated floors for the run/Kennel, and an air system that pulls in fresh air/expels the old, etc... These people deserve trophies, hugs, and praise for the work they do, and my ol’ gal seems to enjoy them/the facility a lot. Check them out, they’re far from just a boarding facility!
