Here's what our friends say about us:

"I have taken my dog Hobbs to Playful Pets for over a year now. My dog was overwhelmed by other doggie daycare places and would never interact with other dogs. Not so at Playful Pets! He can play all day. He can also go and rest in a separate room. Larry the owner is a wonderful person and has a way with dogs. I would never go anywhere else."
—Celia Wilde & Hobbs

 
 

"My two-year old pug, Madeline, loves going to Playful Pets! She's never confined to a crate and is able to run and play with both big and small dogs all day. I drop off an excited puppy in the morning and pick up a happily exhausted puppy on my way home from work. It puts my mind at ease on days when I work late, that Madeline is in a clean, safe and loving environment."
—Peggy Henz & Madeline

 
 

"Playful Pets is the quintessential doggie daycare facility and has quickly become Charlie's home away from home. The facility is clean, safe and Larry, the owner, gives personalized TLC to all of the dogs. The large indoor/out door space the dogs spend their day in puts the expression "a tired dog is a happy dog" into effect. Charlie plays hard and always comes home a very happy dog."
—Grant Smith & Charlie

 
 

"Jackson has been a Playful Pets regular for nearly two years. Since I work full-time and go to school at night, taking him to daycare has relieved the guilt I have when I'm really busy. I know he enjoys the days I'm at school because he races from the car, up the front steps to see all of his friends. Jackson even enjoys boarding at Playful Pets because of the crate-less environment that Larry provides in his home. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if not for Playful Pets!"
—Rachel Johnson & Jackson

 
 

"A friend recommended Playful Pets to me a year ago. At first I was skeptical because I had tried other doggie daycare places and I always got reports back that Cosmo was not playing or worse, that he was fearful. All that changed after I tried Playful Pets. He isn't fearful in a group of dogs anymore, and he plays like a maniac. His confidence has really improved and he is so tired when I pick him up at the end of the day that he goes straight to the couch and falls asleep. He gets so excited at the mere mention of going. I used to avoid trips without Cosmo because I didn't feel comfortable leaving him for an extended period of time, but now I can travel without worry. He loves staying overnight--even for a week. It's always a relief to know that he has a safe and happy place to go while I am away."
—Jen Stiemke & Cosmo
