Our dog is always so happy during his visits that he is actually sad when it is time to go home! He truly loves it there, and we appreciate the excellent care he receives during both long stays and daycare.\n\nWe especially enjoy the photo updates from the staff; seeing him having fun gives us great peace of mind. Thank you for taking such good care of him.\nMaria R

Our Husky loves going to Tale of the Dog!\nWe've tried a few dog daycares in the area, and Tale by far is her favorite. We've been going there for over 3 years, and it's become our dog's second home for daycare and boarding. The staff are super friendly, and they offer a great outdoor play space along with a cool indoor area perfect for afternoon doggie napping.

My dog went there for his temperament test to make sure he got along with all the dogs which he did. He always does. He was there from 11:00 to 3:00 and they said he was happy the whole time and playing the whole time. He's 7 years old but he has a lot of energy. Great place! Great people!

This place is great! We dropped off our big buddy "D" today for some daycare. He loves it here. Soon as he sees the door it's goodbye see ya! The staff is great and they understand dogs. Before you drop off your fir baby you'll need to be updated on all shots and have to pass a temperament test. They keep everything safe and clean. He had a great day playing with all the dogs and good report card.

This is long overdue! Tale Of the Dog has been taking care of our two large dogs when we go on vacations, Olly and Bear, for several years now. We always get consistent picture and text updates of how they are doing when they stay. They are transparent in their pricing and availability, and always fair. The dogs have plenty of space to run and play, and they always have the best time. It's great knowing they are well taken care of and happy when my husband and I need to leave town. We honestly wouldn't board them anywhere else! If you are on the fence about where to board your dogs, let this review help you decide. You won't be disappointed at the level of quality care and communication here!
