Emily and Bella are amazing!! I have been taking my dog Harley for a few months now and I'm so impressed. Emily and Bella are super kind, patient, and knowledgeable about dogs and their personalities. My dog started off super shy and needed some additional socialization and he loves getting dropped off to play and I've seen a huge improvement with him. They send me pic updates throughout the day and I'm very comfortable leaving him with them knowing he will be taken care of. The facility is clean and safe, and Harley always comes home so tired which is great. Highly recommend them!!
I am so glad I found Down to Earth dogs! Emily, the owner, is so helpful and supportive of me and my dog. She went above and beyond to make sure the environment would fit for my dog. We did a few trials and she was really intentional about the whole process. She’s also very intuitive with my pup and knew her cues almost immediately. And I know everyone that works there (Bella, Drew & Alison) love her. She goes to daycare weekly and has also boarded there overnight a few times. My pup is always so happy to go and I love getting pictures that show how happy she is. This is the perfect environment for my pup and I’m so grateful for it. Thanks Emily, Bella, Drew & Alison. Dolly loves you!
Emily and her team are the best! They have different play and rest areas for the dogs, send great pictures, are communicative and flexible, and offer feedback and tips on your pup’s behavior. Fiona loves Down to Earth and I’m so happy to bring her there!
Emily, Bella and Drew are the most amazing caregivers! I started bringing Makana to them when she was just 15 weeks old. Emily was gracious enough to take on a puppy while I was on a 16 day trip. I received pictures and videos each day and felt completely comfortable that my baby girl was in capable hands. I truly appreciate that the team at Down to Earth Dogs treats our babies as their own. I can't say enough positive things about these ladies. They are top notch and I highly recommend them!
My dogs love coming here. We started with doggy daycare a few years ago when they were puppies and they have spent a lot of time staying here for vacations. Emily, family, and staff are amazing!! They even threw a birthday party for Pepper when we booked a trip over her doggy birthday. Money well spent knowing our dogs are not only safe but loving their time here. Highly recommended. Worth every penny!
I have a 2-year old golden retriever and I’ve been bringing her to Down to Earth Dogs for the past year. My pup loves Emily and her team. I always have peace of mind knowing she’ll have the best care, and so much fun playing with the other dogs. I tried a few other doggy daycare spots, and there were too many dogs - my pup did not do well in those types of environments. At Down to Earth Dogs, Emily has a great screening process and set number of spots which means your dog will have personal care and attention from her team. And you get daily pictures of your pup having the best time playing and being goofy when you’re traveling or just dropping off for daycare. Thank you, Emily and team, for taking such excellent care of my golden floof 💕
I have a senior dog who has served our family as our loyal little friend for 13 years. When his old boarding location closed during the pandemic, I was nervous about finding a place where he could be comfortable and I wouldn’t end up worrying about his comfort and care. I was relieved to find Emily and Down to Earth Dogs this year. The setting is in a home, but the dogs have plenty of outdoor space spread across three separate areas. Emily has her eyes on the dogs routinely and with a reasonable number at one time, each dog’s personality and quirks are known and understood by her and her small staff. It’s a customized experience and has been a great fit for my pup. A nice bonus is that Emily makes herself very easy to reach if I want an update while I’m away, and she and her team provide plenty of super cute photos so I end up giggling and grinning at my dog’s busy social life and luxury retreat vacation. This is a great trustworthy and comfy option for dogs of all ages and sizes.
