Response from business owner
Hi Samantha, thank you so much for your review! We truely appreciate it. We try to post daycare videos during the week as much as we can on Facebook and YouTube (the app is only if we need to send something directly to a specific client). Unfortunately, sometimes our daycare is too busy to allow us to have someone step away from the dogs to get behind the camera. The dog's safety is always our first priority and if we have an extremely busy day or our pack in extra playful we need all eyes on the dogs 110% of the time to keep everyone safe. We will do our best to keep them coming as often as possible.Thanks again!

My Lucky Dog seems to be luving his time at daycamp. I definitely wears him out. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
Response from business owner
Dawn, we are so happy we can provide a safe place for Lucky to not only spend time with his fur'ends, but gives him the opportunity to socialize and exercise. There's nothing better than having your four-legged family member come home worn out from good day of play! Thank you for the 5-star review.
