I drive 30 minutes for the boarding service because my dog loves Dogtopia. He quickly learned the routines and embraced them. He clearly feels happy and safe there — he pulls hard to get to the back and see new and old friends. Even though he’s had issues being overly reactive to humans, this never ever happens at Dogtopia and he gets along with everyone, I think because the humans are so well trained in keeping peace and reading doggie body language. The “rules” work. I love being able to check in on him via video camera. Absolutely worth the drive.

Everyone is kind and helpful and seems to enjoy their work. I love Dogtopia thank you!!! Jill

Everyone I met there was so kind and efficient. I loved that they seemed to love my dog and want to care for him. It’s pretty far away for me to drive but my pup seems to like it so much I can’t wait to bring him back!

Otto and I love Dogtopia. He has so much fun. The staff at Dogtopia South Waterfront always make feel so comfortable with leaving my dog with them. The staff here really love what they do and they take great care of the dogs!

Clean and modern facilities, very welcoming, and mostly, everyone was extremely knowledgeable!!! I felt way more comfortable here than the other doggy daycare we have been taking our pup to!

Very friendly staff and they all are very kind to the dogs and patient! Very accommodating to scheduling. We visit from out of town and they are more than accommodating. Our pup had a blast the 3 days she was there playing with the other dogs. It is super clean inside too!

Your staff is wonderful, they take very good care of my dog. The web cams give me piece of mind, I can check on my dog whenever I want. Being able to get her nails trimmed while she’s at day care is also super convenient. My Billie LOVES going to daycare she knows what day is day care day and wakes up excited to go. We come into the lobby and all most all of the staff know Billie by site. This makes me feel very comfortable leaving my baby in your care. Your daycare costs more than some I can go to but you all make me feel like Billie is safe and in very good hands and therefore worth the cost.

Thank you!

On our last visit for day care and a nail trim, the nail trim didn’t get done. Luckily you were able to accommodate the nail trim still but my husband had to leave and then come back again later. We understand many businesses are having staffing challenges. More proactive communications would help in the future if unable to fit in nail trims or if more time is needed to avoid multiple pick up attempts. Thanks for being flexible and ensuring our dog got her nails trim,we before our trip. We love having Dogtopia in the Soutwaterfront community.

I love this location almost as much as my dog! 🙂 Everyone is so friendly and my dog goes nuts when we pull up. Two small reasons why I give it a 9 instead of a 10. First, I wish they were able to trim paw pads in addition to trimming a dog’s nails. I usually need both done at the same time. The last time my dog had her nails trimmed at this location, they said they could not trim all of her nails since she was extra wiggly. Totally understand that, but I was charged the full price. I ended up having to go somewhere else and pay again to complete the nail trim and trim her paw pads. The other reason is tied to the Dogtopia events. I try to plan my dog’s daycare visits around the events listed on the online calendar. On occasion, when I pick her up I find out that the event or photoshoot did not happen which is a little disappointing. Aside from those two items, this place is amazing and my dog absolutely loves going here!

I appreciate that you are always open and have great hours. The canine coaches and front desk staff tolerate me well. The canine coaches seem to have. A good read of the rooms and the dog activity. I love seeing when a coach may talk to my dog or give a little pet here and there.
