Our experience exceeded expectations. Communication is phenomenal. They worked diligently with me throughout our pup’s stay, which offered us peace of mind and comfort. Our pup is always overjoyed when we drop him off. He comes home clean, tired, and very happy. I applaud them for all the fun stuff they do and especially for keeping our pup safe and healthy.
What an incredible discovery - we should have done this years ago. Covid decimated the pool of dog sitters that we’d used for years. We finally steered ourselves to Dogwood Ranch and read the reviews. We got into hi gear to get all the health info together so we could schedule a behavior testing for our dogs. It happened today and they aced it!! We were so impressed with the staff we met, with the dogs we saw standing with many others in a field. No fights, calm looking, peaceful. A GREAT initial impression. After 4 hours we picked our two up - the old one was calm, not anxious for us to hurry up and put her in the car. The young one was tired and happy - he got to run and play. This is now our place of choice when we need care for our kids. Dogwood Ranch gets 5 gold stars from us.
Dogwood is just fantastic. My 90 pound Pyr mix goes there for daycare when I need to be away for work for long hours and comes home happy and tired. He has also boarded there and I am so grateful to have a safe and familiar place for him to stay. The staff are all super nice and seem to love their jobs and the whole place is clean and organized. Feel very lucky to have this wonderful place in our community!
My three family dogs have been visiting Dogwood Ranch for many years now- on a very regular basis. We utilize the transportation option and they bolt out the front door and into the transporters car every time. They love their visits to "camp Dogwood." Jessica and her amazing team have nursed my dog through a genetic illness and shared in the joys of new puppies. They have trained my dogs excellently and have provided me videos of the training sessions so I know what to work on at home. The staff is so helpful and organized. I often forget to select my grooming and they always follow up before my boys come home and ask if I want grooming. If I call or text, I get a very quick response. They keep all of the kennels and play areas very clean. All dogs have to be up to date on vaccines and thankfully, they require bordetella vaccine every 6 months. My dogs have NEVER come home with any illness or issues. I appreciate that they require a temperament visit for each new client, it makes me feel very secure that my dogs will not be with any aggressive dogs. During my dogs visits, I receive photos so often. On holidays, they take photos of the dogs with a festive background. I have utilized almost every boarding option at one point or another. The selection is big-- extra cuddles, sleeping inside, extra play time, treats, etc. The grooming options are always expanding and my dogs come home clean and smelling so nice each time-- with clean teeth! My dogs come home tired and very happy every time. They spend a couple of days being very lazy after their time at "camp." There is no other boarding facility I would utilize for our family dogs. Ever. I trust Jessica and her team more than anything. I know that they are professional, kind, and absolutely treat my dogs like family.
Odi has been vacationing at Dogwood for over 4 years and always comes home, happy, healthy, and calm. Staff are friendly, kind and obviously in love with dogs. The facilities are fantastic with all day access to the outdoors and social interaction with size and temperament appropriate play groups. Couldn’t be happier or more confident to leave Odi in their care.
Finding a boarding spot for your dog can be pretty frustrating these days. Every place seems to have different rules and policies, some spelled out clearly online, and others left to be explained later. One way to communicate understandable information quickly is to talk face to face, but barring that, a quick phone call will do. Did you know studies have found humans talk three times faster than typing information on keyboards? Well, Dogwood Ranch will only text you, so it will take all day to get the information you need as you go back and forth with an unknown person (are they even on site or is it like a virtual assistant/offshore situation, who knows) like you are doing business with a middle school student who doesn’t know how to talk on the phone. Not surprisingly, this takes forever! I hope you aren’t in a hurry. Also, they want to do a four hour assessment of your dog, even if it’s a dog that anyone can tell in five minutes loves everyone. Don’t expect to find that on their website or be told that up front. Maybe a phone call could have cleared it up faster. It actually seems like it would take less time than texting everyone back. If they are really “out with the dogs” maybe get some AirPods to answer the phones with, just a thought.
