Smilin Dogs

The staff have been great with my dog, Mac, and super communicative about how he does while boarding. Mac always gets super excited when we drop him off and it makes me feel good to know my dog is in good hands. He always comes home super tired too and a tired dog is a happy dog + owner 😊

We cannot recommend Smilin Dogs enough - such a fantastic experience over the last 7 years. Our dog LOVES it here - he hikes twice a week and will board with them if we travel. Every time he’s desperate to get out the car and be with them - the love and care that he receives is really really special.

I just started using Smilin Dogs for my dog, Norman, and I'm so impressed with the staff, their thoroughness of vetting my dog and introducing me to the facility and their protocols. The people there are so caring and really take care of the dogs. I've only started taking my dog there for daycare (play group fun!) and he seemed to really enjoy his social time with him new friends (and the handler for his group) so I'll be taking him back again soon. A friend had recommended them to me and she was right. It's the best dog daycare option in the area, in my view. Again, a big shout out to the staff there--really caring and very accountable.

We’ve been using Smilin Dogs for over a year for our two Golden Retrievers. We’ve used their services for boarding over several days, and also for days out at the ranch in which they pick up and drop off the dogs at our home, as well as for grooming. No matter how I use them, Smilin Dogs has been just terrific in every way. Their customer service is unparalleled and our dogs are always calm and happy when I pick them up. Just a great service!

Our dog has been visiting Smilin Dogs for the last five (!) years, and we wouldn't go anyplace else. It was important for our family that our 80-lb dog had a place where she could be off-leash with other dogs and could run full out or snuggle with the dog handlers as she desired -- and we found that with Smilin Dogs and now she goes once a week, every week to the dog ranch. We've also boarded her several times with Smilin Dogs. She is not a crate-trained dog, so I didn't want a traditional kennel experience for her. I wanted her to be able to spend her days - and nights - playing and lounging with dogs and people and Smilin Dogs is able to deliver that. As soon as I pull into the Smilin Dogs parking lot, her tail starts smacking the seats because she is so thrilled to be there -- the best testimony!

We love smilin dogs! Our dog has such a wonderful time when he goes to doggy ranch. I love that we have the option of a more "traditional" daycare experience or a more "adventurous" one. What drew us in the first time was the round trip transportation which is really crucial for us and what keeps us coming back is a great experience every time!

Our pup Colby is always so excited to arrive at SD and is so thrilled to come home and rest after a long day of play. The staff is all caring and loving to our pup and we are glad we have a safe and professional doggie daycare to take care of our favorite furry friend.
