Pooches Playground LLC

We were in a pinch because we were on vacation with our dog. He barked too much for the hotel we were staying at so we scrambled to find a place for him to stay for the day. The hotel recommended Pooches and I was grateful… until I got there. It is very small, dark and so very loud. All dogs are placed in one big cage, no matter the size or anything. The owner was in the back when we walked in and all she was doing was screaming very loudly to the dogs to shut up. Not the way I want my dog to be treated. When the owner came out from the back she was flustered and again screamed at the dogs very loudly. I literally got tears in my eyes as I was not going to feel comfortable leaving my dog there. We turned right around and left. We actually ended up taking him to Banfield for the day, since we are patients back home. I would not recommend this place to anyone that cares about their dogs.

Still a loyal customer. Thank you Pooches Playground for taking care of Obi and Pixel and for accommodating our weekend pick up schedule.

I would never board my dog anywhere else. Violet and Marjorie are the two sweetest people in the world, very knowledgeable about dogs and they definitely know what they’re doing. Most importantly, they will care for your dog like it’s their own :)

For many years i boarded my dog, Bear, at Pooches Playground while i was out of town. Violet and Marjorie have always been very kind and helpful. Violet is knowledgeable about a holistic approach to dog care. there are many natural ingredients that she will recommend using for your dog as opposed to harmful poisons and toxins. Violet also uses non-​toxic, safe-​to-​breath products in cleaning pooches playground — just ask her! Your pet is not subjected to harmful ingredients, toxins or poisons. Every month I had Bear bathed there even when I was not going to be out of town. Bear loved his baths! As my dog aged and was no longer able to go up the ramp to be bathed, Violet put a pool on the ground and Bear was able to stand in the pool and she would bathe him! When bear died, violet and i had a good cry together. Pooches Playground gets loud at times due to the dogs barking. but i find that to be totally normal. i have recommended Pooches to many of my friends who now either bathe or board their dogs at Pooches!

Violet and Majorie are extremely informative and sincere individuals. They truly care about the pets they take into their business. My puppy gets tons of compliments from people on the streets every time he gets a haircut/​wash. I feel very very safe leaving my dog at Pooches Playground because I know these two individual have a passion for animals.

Pooches is a wonderful place. It’s a family owned business and I’ve been taking my dog there for over 4 years. I personally have to travel a number of times per year, and Pooches takes amazing care of my dog. They even have made sure my cats are fed and litter cleaned, when I’m out for extended days. They love the animals and it’s more than a business to them, they are entrusted with other’s family members. My dog loves the people that work there and always comes home happy and tired from all of the play time. I would recommend it and wouldn’t trust my dog to anyone else! They’re awesome!

I started taking my puppy there because my cousin recommended this place since she also takes her dog there. At first everything seem to be fine, both Violet and her mother were really nice. I called one day asking if it was possible to take my puppy in that same day and Violet was extremely rude and straight out Said no, that she was really busy and hanged up the phone without giving me an opportunity to make an appointment or say anything. Her mother called me back few min later apologizing for her «daughter being rude» as she said and explained to me why I couldn’t bring him in an offered to make an appointment for the following week. I called another time asking them if they had time and if I could bring my pup that sameday and Violet Said it was ok. She asked what he needed done and if he needed to brushed out. At first I had said no but then thought he might needed to since my puppy had been at my sisters house for the past two days playing with her dogs and he was really filthy. I called her back and told her yes and she said ok. She calls me about 2o min later and tells me her mother wanted to speak to me and she said if my dog needed to be brushed out that they couldnt do it because they were extremely busy because everyone decided to bring in their dogs in last min and they didn’t have time for that. I then said that I brush my dog on a regular basis therefore no reason to do that afterall and asked her if she wanted me to reschedule. She seemed bothered and frustrated and was huffing and puffing and said yeah we might have to do that. I then told her that Violet had said it was ok to take him. She then said to just take him in and would take a look at him and if he needed to be detangled, then they would have to turn him away. This is the last time I’m taking my puppy there, I understand that the right way to go about it is to make an appointment in advanced. No need for them to be rude about it epecially if I asked them if they had time and they said yes. Next time Im taking my puppy else where.

I just dropped off my fur baby and I’m glad to say I feel at ease.
Violet and Marjorie are extremely sweet and you can see their love/​passion for the animals they care for.
The facility was very clean and cage free. The pooches all had their tails wagging, which is always a good sign!

Very Clean. Very Friendly. Pooches Playground is one of my dog’s favorite places to go! She gets all excited to see everyone and when I come to pick her up, she is happy and content.
The overnight stay is like a giant sleep over for the whole pack of dogs. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. They truly love dogs.

Very professional! Great daycare for my doogie!
