- JJjustin505kAug 4, 20252.0While this facility may offer good daycare services, I do not recommend boarding your dog here. During our pet’s 3-night stay, the video cameras were down the entire time, which left us without any visibility or peace of mind. When we picked up our small Maltese, it was immediately clear she had not eaten her food and appeared extremely distressed — as though she had spent most of the time confined and alone. She showed no signs of having been calmed, comforted, or cared for properly. We’re currently trying to console her, and it’s heartbreaking to see her like this. To add they gave us no report , or anything of her status when we picked her up during the 3 days.
