Your staff really cares about my dogs and that makes me happy and feel safe leaving them in your care

Love the flexibility and helpfulness of the staff. They are super responsive over text and everything is run smoothly. Coach loves going to daycare!

This is the 3rd day care I’ve tried for my very energetic Labradoodle. I tried 2 other daycares before Waterfront Dogtopia without success and was told Jack lacked dog social skills, had poor self control and played too rough with other dogs. Bottom line they didn’t want him. From the beginning at Dogtopia, staff saw Jack what what he is, a high energy one year old dog not a “problem”. To help him gain self control, he was immediately put on the puppy schedule were he goes into a crate for down time (reset time) every hour for 10 minutes. This plus the two hour crate nap time from 12-2 really keeps Jack from hyping up and getting out of control. The calm environment at Waterfront Dogtopia and pairing Jack with dogs that have his rough play style, have really helped Jack develop good dog social skills. Exactly what I wanted for him!! I couldn’t be more pleased with how Jack is progressing!!! He is better behaved at home too!

I am very grateful for all the attentive care Jack gets at daycare. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and I have peace of mind knowing Jack is free to play with other dogs in a safe loving environment. Thank you so much 🐶🐾🐶

Everyone I talked to was very friendly and helpful. I appreciate that there is a camera to see the dogs and the feedback on how Pigeon did. I also appreciate that there appears to be some sort of assessment to see if a new pup will fit in/ be successful, and that there are always staff present when the dogs are out together. Also, it was super helpful that the staff were willing to call over to my veterinarian and get vaccination records directly. That was a huge help for me.

The only reason I didn’t give a 10 is because the cost of services at Dogtopia would be prohibitive for so many people, but I would absolutely recommend Dogtopia to everyone who could reasonably use your services.

Savy seems to have fun. It is clean/hygenic. The people are friends and appear to love dogs.
They have live video so you can watch your do.

My dog has fun here and the staff are great!

Maple smelled like urine when I picked her up from boarding as well as having a large mat on her tail that required lots of brushing for some time. I recommend wiping the dogs down before they get picked up from being boarded if the spa is fully booked day of.

The people who work at Dogtopia S Waterfront are just amazing. They graciously handle all that comes their way and are so friendly! I feel so safe and happy knowing my doggo is there!

EVERYTHING! More specifically: you’re kind, patient, intelligent staff. We love that you have web cams, and that our dogs seem to be having a great time while there.
