Yardstick Dog Hotel - Lakewood

The staff went above and beyond to make my pup, Captain, feel at home! My dog can be awkward and shy in unfamiliar spaces. They did a great job helping him feel welcome. I can tell by his demeanor after picking him up that he actually had a good time! And I added on a bath before pickup and he smells amazing 🥰 even during the tour walkthrough I can tell they keep the place very clean and the dogs calm and happy!

I was gobsmacked by the pricing, but my fur baby girl Pia had a delightful stay! Like doggy camp! I toured the facility before her stay and was super impressed by the cleanliness and lack of stink, including the potty area. They showed me the little room cells (not crates!) where she’d sleep. They sent me tons of text photos all day with notes on her progress, every day. I got to see her making friends in play group, and I swear she was smiling! Upon checking out, the gal at the front desk was saying that she loved my Pia and spent a lot of time with her one on one. I might have thought that they say that to everyone, but Pia’s little head smelled like another woman’s cologne, so I know someone was nuzzling my baby!!\n\nAnother huge perk is that they let you bring your own toys and doggy bed if you want. I talked to a lot of boarding places and personal items are typically NOT allowed. I love that Pia had the smells of home in her room for comfort.\n\nThe last time I boarded Pia elsewhere, I was sold on her staying in a “doggy suite” which turned out to be a crate. I was horrified that she’d been crated for a week without my knowing! Now I take a tour first, to see with my own eyes. I walked in wo notice and requested a tour, so no chance to tidy up beforehand. Very clean!\n\nYes, her boarding fee here was equivalent to a nice hotel stay, but I got photos and notes and did not worry about her. The pictures kept coming and she was clean and happy. I will pay for that!

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Yardstick. They thoughtfully separate dogs by size and energy level, so playtime is always safe and a great fit—and the multiple play sessions each day keep my dog happy and well-exercised.\nI also love the frequent photo updates—it gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. Most importantly, the staff truly treat my dog like their own. She’s always excited to go back, which says everything. Highly recommend!

My fuzzy kids were so happy and they were there for almost 2 weeks. Every single one of the staff loved my Bonnie and Clyde and my dogs loved them! This is my first need for boarding and this is the only place I'll ever need.\n\nOUTSTANDING service and care/love, AND the great photos I got every day at every stage of their stay\n\nTHIS is the place you're looking for!!\n🐾🐾❤️❤️🐾🐾☮️
