This review is LONG overdue! We have been bringing our Luna here since she was a puppy, and she is almost 8 years old now. Over the years, we have used them for both daycare and boarding, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about them. With my crazy hospital work hours at ORMC, they have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, which has meant so much to us. More importantly, this place has genuinely become a second home for Luna. She absolutely loves going, and there is such peace of mind in knowing that when we leave her, she is with people who know her, love her, and care for her like she is one of their own. The staff has always been incredibly kind, loving, attentive, and caring. After nearly 8 years, there is no one else we would trust more with our girl, whether it is just for a day of daycare or while we are away traveling. We are so grateful for all the love you have given Luna throughout the years and for being such a special part of her life. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl! ❤️🐾

Emma always has such a great time at daycare and boarding, and I know I never have to worry while I’m away. They send tons of great photos and make drop off and pickup a breeze!

Dog Day Afernoon is the best. I have used them for doggie daycare and for boarding, since they opened many years ago. The people are extremely nice and my doggies especially my almost 13 year old golden really enjoy going there.

I LOVE Dog Day Afternoon!! They have taken care of Oliver for over 3 years. They have a caring, alert staff. They call right away if they have questions or concerns. Oliver has a blast when stays there, daycare and boarding. UPDATE ON LATEST STAY April 2023: As always, Dog Day Afternoon proved themselves to be a top notch place to board Oliver. The staff is competent, they love dogs and they stay in touch. They’re tops in my book! It’s been 7 years that Dog Day Afternoon has cared for Oliver and they truly do care! I can’t say enough great things about this staff. He’s loves staying here and goes through the door to be with his doggie pals and never looks back! Thank you for your service!

I need some place great to board my 15 year old deaf and blind little dog and this is exactly what I want! She is not social, needs quiet to nap throughout the day and all night, and get fed four times a day. DDA is perfect. They have caretakers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everyone seems to love and understand dogs' needs and my dog gets her own room, I took her bed and her canned food. She has only been away from home one night, post surgery, so boarding when I travel is a big deal for both of us. I will not worry about her staying there. I am relieved to being able to use them and know my dog is safe and secure.
