4 Paws Community Center

We have been using 4 Paws for day care for over two years. Our dog LOVES going to 4 Paws. The employees are kind and always recognize our dog. I especially like the fact that there seems to be some continuity of employees.

Been coming here for over 3 years now having told about 6 friends how great they were, but in the last year they seem disorganized, taking too many dogs over the holidays and I’ve been really disappointed. I’ve been over charged FOUR times for boarding, requested a bath after a week stay but my dog never received one, on TWO occasions. The owners and staff are super nice but these things shouldn’t happen. I do think its clean and my dog is in good hands, most importantly… just hoping things will improve.

I highly reccomend this facility ! I have tried several in the local area –but their staff is the MOST interactive with their boarders and also understanding of their needs whenbeing in a strange enviroment.
I have a cat that is terminal and needs medications 2x day and can be tempermental as well due to his illness — and I have NEVER has a concern about his needs not being met by him being boarded there when I travel. I can also call and they are more than willing to talk w/​me and give me an update on how he’s doing w/​med, eating etc. — it is very reassuring to know they understand my concerns… and address his care as I would and do.
When bringig him home he readjusts very quickly — unlike times at other facilities, so I know he was comfortable while he was boarded here.
Best kept secret in the area !

My dogs have gotten sick there twice and required veterinary attention. The owner would do nothing to reimburse me for our trouble. The place is fine to get your dog groomed, but I would not recommend allowing them to stay for a long period of time.

I love 4 Paws, but even more importantly, my dog loves to go to 4 Paws. I take her there once a week for «day camp» and have boarded her twice. The staff is terrific and there’s enough space for play. My very energetic dog comes home tired after a day of socializing, and that’s exactly what she needs. I also have her grooming done at 4 Paws, and she comes home looking like a million bucks.

I am certain I have reviewed 4 Paws previously but for some reason my review is not here any longer. The reason I’m certain is that we have used very regularly for 3 years and highly recommend 4 Paws.
When we first moved to the area we were so concerned about the quality of day care/​boarding that we personally visited 8 area kennels. I loved 4 Paws but was initially worried about the setting and lack of lawn so we tried another place in a more rural area. Mistake. Our dog came home with mites and a skin infection that the vet said was common to that type of setting an recommended a kennel w/​artificial lawn specifically made for a board/​daycare type facility. Bingo! That’s what 4 Paws has and when researching it found that it is more hygienic and safer for dogs to play on. I went back by the location at various times of day to see what it’s like at various times and still liked.
The intake paperwork is extensive — that’s good because our sweet rescue girl is a big fraidy-​cat and gets anxious around other dogs. When I discussed it all with Linda (owner) and her staff and then tried them out, our baby was happy to come the next time. She would pull away and resist at the other place. They baby her as if she were their own dog. Since then we have boarded her there as much as monthly due to our travel schedule. Anywhere from 3 days to 10 days and everything has always gone well. We have never had one problem while there and it is a great relief to us to be SURE that she’s well looked after and her sensitive temperament is always kept in mind.
I notice a very negative review on here as well and was really surprised. I have never had that experience and one of the reasons I keep our dog here is because of the cleanliness. Bad day? Perhaps. If it were that way we wouldnt have stayed so long. The staff also reminds me of her vaccinations more timely than our own vet.
When I have used the doggie daycare, I have been just as satisfied. Every time I am there I see the regulars dropping off and picking up their dogs and everyone looks very happy — especially the dogs who would just barrel on in and down the hall if they were allowed.
If you cant tell already, we’re very pleased with 4 Paws Community Center and so is our princess poochess!

I’ll make this one short. I REALLY like four paws. Your dog is socialized (with a group appropriate for your dog’s temperment-​our dog is medium size, but is afraid of larger dogs) and TIRED when you get them home-​which is a great thing when you have a high energy dog. My only complaint is that my dog (and I have numerous friends that use 4 paws that I have picked up their dog) is always stinky, dirty when I pick her up. I would highly recommend 4 paws, but your dog will need a bath when you get them home.
