Doggie District Pet Resort

I had to update my review for DD. I still wish they had a camera, so I could cyber-​stalk my dog during the day. However, the staff are just GREAT! My dog runs into the lobby with excitement. They all know his name and his little… quirks. I couldn’t have hoped for better day care for my dog. I highly recommend.

I have been going to Doggie District since it opened, almost nine years now. My dog is always happy to go and rushes up to the employees. He is always wagging his tail and happy to be there and never even barks at the employees and he barks at everyone. I have always been happy with the services and people there seem to really get to know your dog and care about your pet. They have gotten a bit pricey over the years but I do think the service and quality is top notch. It is a great place to board and give your dog a day of fun while you work hard to give them the best.

We’ve been taking our dogs to Doggy District (DD) ever since we moved to Vegas 2 years ago. So far, we’ve boarded our dogs here on 8 separate vacations (about 32/​nights & days.) We are pleased with their pricing on overnight boarding and their quality care for both of our dogs.
We have a medium 30 lb. Terrier mix and a large 50 lb. Border Collie mix and we prefer that they are boarded together in the same kennel as they are inseparable. Paw room for our dogs is important to us. We toured the facility and the temperature-​controlled kennel-​run options they have are rectangular and spacious. We compared it to PetSmart’s kennels and there’s a noticeable size difference — PetSmart’s kennels are much more compact and their boarding facilities looked crammed.
We also viewed the private enclosed yard for the dog’s play area at DD and it’s a nice size. They offer a little fenced playground with ramps and obstacle courses to let the dogs run around and play in; I thought that was a cute touch. They also have staff on duty 24 hours a day/​7 days a week and they offer 4 convenient boarding locations spread across Vegas. This location has over 5000 square feet of indoor play area and more than 7000 square feet of outdoor play area.
Our dogs typically stay overnight for a weekend — 3 nights/​4 days and the total cost is about $ 160. The reservation and paperwork process is also quick and painless. Depending on what you specify with the care takers, the dogs are either let out into the yard for daily play time with other dogs, or taken out on private walks. We always ask for private walks since our dogs are troublemakers. They also offer other add-​ons and premium packages such as treats, upgraded bedding, grooming, TV monitors for you pup and training is also available.
We always pack a little care-​package when we leave our babies for boarding:
— Dog food pre-​bagged in individual Ziploc servings for each serving/​meal (Bring what you need during the stay, any excess food is donated to local pet rescues)
— A couple of their favorite toys
— Dog bones and a small bag of treats (only bring a portion enough for their stay)
— You can also bring your dog’s blanket/​bed
— Dog leash
Our dogs are our little rescued angels, but truth be told, they can be a handful; Mushroom (the medium one) is anxious and likes to jump tall fences and Inky (the larger one) is temperamental and skittish with strangers and other dogs due to prior abuse before we rescued him. Somehow the care takers are able to handle our rascals and get on their good side. That’s a great sign and huge relief for us when leaving them in their care.
When we come to pick them up, the animal care takers are always friendly and helpful. We always ask questions about how our dogs behaved during their stay and they are always very honest and give us great feedback on our dogs. Overall it’s always a satisfying experience. Our dogs look healthy and well cared for. The boarding accommodations are in good condition. The prices are affordable compared to many Vegas boarding services and I would definitely recommend this place for boarding.

We LOVE Doggie District. About 6 months ago, we brought our very hyper active Dobie pup in for one of the training packages. It was the best thing we have ever done. She got to play with the other pups during the day, go through some rather intensive training, and get lots of loving from the staff. She came home as a new pup! She easily sits, lays down, walks on a leash without pulling, and the most fabulous skill is that she PLACES. With a small child at home, it’s very helpful to have our 4-​legged child willing to lay in one PLACE until it is time to play, eat, or go potty. My pup loves going to Doggie District and playing with the other pups. I always know that she is in excellent hands and to tell you the truth, sometimes I think she likes it better there where she can play play play. I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to Austin and his crew. Austin has gone above and beyond repeatedly to help make sure the training sticks. This is a great place to bring your dog for day care, boarding, and training. I recommend them to everyone I know!

love, Love, LOVE this place! My girl literally rips the leash out of my hands to get into the building she’s so excited to come here. The staff is always super excited to see her and so friendly to both pets and people. They are always willing to answer any questions and will take the time to explain activities they may have going on. I can’t say how much I’ve enjoyed Doggie District daycare. (I haven’t had need to use their boarding yet.)

I LOVE Doggie District! I’ve had 2 dogs come here and it’s been absolutely wonderful! My first dog passed away during her spaying after spending 2 weeks here. The staff was so sympathetic when they heard the news, didn’t charge for her stay with them, and really took the time to talk to me about her. As emotional as it was, I’m just so grateful that my pup got to spend the 2 weeks with them while I was out of town. They sent me pictures every day, so I got to see what she was up to at DD. I know she had such a great time with them, something that’ll always give me comfort. My current dog just started there and she always loves going to play with the other dogs. It’s so much better than leaving her at home during the work day, it puts my mind at ease. Also, it’s great for socialization. The dogs are constantly playing and tiring each other out. My dog has to take a nap on our 5 minute drive home! She’s sleeping way better at night too. Christy, the manager, is so incredibly nice and really takes time to know all the dogs. I really enjoy talking to her while I drop my dog off. The owner, Austin, is incredible too. He has trained both of my dogs and is just fantastic. Definitely knows his stuff and stays up to date on new training methods. I can’t recommend Doggie District enough!

We have a bulldog and I have to say this is the best place in Vegas to have your puppy stay! Doggie district has a very professional caring staff they will take care of your dog like if its there! Love love love this facility !!!

We boarded our overly excited puppy here for two nights and three days while out of town. After some bad experiences elsewhere we were very cautious. She came so happy and tired! They were wonderful and it was great to get emails while away so I knew my baby was taken care of! I will definitely use them again!

We have been taking our puppy Blitz (6 mos. GSD) for a several weeks now to help with his socializing. We have not had a bad experience with doggy district. The staff is very friendly and seem like they are true animal lovers. After a day at doggy district, Blitz is really tired. Prices are affordable, and they also offer package deals. Will continue to bring our gsd to doggy district.

i love this place. my dog princz went here for obedience school and he is doing great. i also put him in daycare and he loves it. they always send me pictures of him which is awesome.

There are some words we can’t say in our house, because our dog is way too smart for his own good. «Doggie District» and «Day Care» are right up there with «Car Ride» and «Treat». If you utter those words, he will run to the door, tug at his leash, and do his little corgi butt wiggle «Nownownownownownow…» dance.
So that’s how he feels about Doggie District. We’ve been taking our pooch here 1 – 3 times a week when our schedules get crazy, and he’s boarded there for 5 days when we were out of state for a family thing. I’m pretty sure he thinks its his second home, and the peace of mind we have leaving him with people we know care, and he loves is pretty priceless.
When he comes home, he usually falls asleep in the car before we can hit the highway. Even if the Portal of Wonder (read as: window) is open, he’s exhausted from a day of hogging the pool, and romping like a lunatic.
Fun perks! They send photos of your dog playing now and again when they’re at Daycare, and every single day when they are being boarded. See what I meant about peace of mind?
They also have random silly events for the dogs every few days; chicken snow cones, or frozen pineapple chunks… yeah, our dog loves this place.
The staff has been absolutely phenomenal for us; One night when my husband had to deal with a medical crisis at work, he was going to be late to pick up our pup. We did not want to be sans dog all weekend. At all. So he called ahead, warned that he might be up to 10 minutes late, pending traffic, and the wonderful person on staff offered to wait or him. She ended up not needing to, but it’s that sort of attitude that keeps us trusting and loving this place.

I moved to Vegas and read some things on the internet about the «cage less» daycare.
I had no idea that my dog after 2 yrs of having play dates and being treated as «one of the kids» would still be going there. I cannot imagine not having Doggie District and all the employees there are «aunt and uncles» to my kid.
Tigger and I got a surprise today, they actually took a picture and forwarded it to my email.
OMG, seriously, above and beyond is not saying enough.

We had to go out of town suddenly and needed a place to keep our (very active) dog. I looked up three different boarding places on Unilocal that all came highly recommended. I called, emailed, and even submitting online inquiries for each place and now it’s two months later and Doggie District is still the ONLY one that has actually responded to me. In fact, they were the only ones to have a human answer the phone. When I told them I needed to board my dog beginning 6 days from then, they invited me to bring him in that same day to have him evaluated and to fill out the paper work.
The paperwork process was so easy and I got a tour of the facility, which immediately put my mind at ease, especially as I read that other boarding places wouldn’t allow you to go back and see the grounds. I left my dog, and when I picked him up later that afternoon, he was obviously tired and happy.
I took advantage of the 3 free days of doggy daycare leading up to our trip, so he had absolutely no anxiety about being left for the long weekend. We were sent pictures of him playing while we were gone.
I expected to only leave him there while we were out of town, but now I find myself taking him back once a week for day care because he loves it so much! As soon as we pull up, he starts whining and dancing to get inside, and once we’re in there, he runs to the back, licking every employee on his way, without even looking back at me. All the employees know him by name, and it’s obvious they love taking care of the dogs. But best of all, is when I pick him up at the end of the day, my one year old Australian Shepherd who seems to have an unlimited supply of energy is happy to snooze for the rest of the evening, perfect for when we need a quieter night at home.
I’m sure there are other great places to leave your dog, but if they won’t even answer the phone or respond to your online inquiry (after their answering service directs you to do so), how can you ever judge their services? Besides that, it makes me nervous that if I needed to, I wouldn’t be able to get in touch with them if my dog was staying there.
Doggie District not only takes good care of their doggy guests, but their human clients as well, and that makes all the difference for me.

So I have no «skin in this game». I bought a «Groupon» so now I have to have my dog come for behavioral analysis. And guess what? because I was not immediately boarding got 3days of play free. These guys are awesome, so caring, you can tell the employees really love dogs! Highly recommended.

As good as they are with dogs, they’re not the best with humans. Their customer service has been not so great. If my dogs didn’t like the place so much, I’m not sure I’d keep coming back.

My Boston LOVES Doggie District. When we turn into the parking lot, he pushes his face to the window so hard, I think sometimes he is going to go through it! He pulls me by his leash into the door so fast, MY head spins. He can’t wait to start his day there!
Not sure if other Bostons are as emotional and dramatic as he is but I would know if anyone so much as looked sideways at him, he never forgets a slight and thinks people are trying to kill him when they want to take his temperature or give him something unfamiliar for lunch… highly suspicious little fella. So when he has NO reservations or any reluctance to run right in there, I know he has been treated as well and loved as much there as he would be at home — and that’s what pet owners want for their «kids».
Plus he plays so hard he sleeps the next 2 days following a visit at Doggie District. Certainly get more than your money’s worth!
P. S. My dog went to Petsmart Day Care for 2 years before I found Doggie District. While Petsmart staff was wonderful to my little guy, they «Un-​Housetrained» him. They have no outside area and never walked him so they encouraged the dogs to just go to the bathroom in the play area and someone would clean it up right after.
How can a dog reason that it is OK to do that on the Petsmart tile floor but not the tile floors at home? It took nearly a year for him to stop asking me to go out when he needed to other than when I thought to let him out, when I noticed he was having accidents (he had potty trained in one day as he is a people pleaser and very smart) and then they became regular accidents. I spoke to the staff at Doggie District and they followed up with his retraining there and no more accidents anywhere. Thanks Doggie District!

From the initial call, the service we received was fantastic. The hours are perfect for picking up the little guy after I get off work (even if I’m running late). The staff at the front was always very pleasant when I came to pick him up and they commented on how much they loved to play with him. They have a grooming staff on-​site and having his nails trimmed for such a low price all in one visit was awesome. Each time I picked up my dog he was clearly exhausted from playing all day. It was so nice to be home from work and not feel guilty for being gone all day and spend a majority of the evening making sure he got his energy out.
They also have a FANTASTIC Facebook page where they post daily photos, announce birthdays, etc. My dog made a photo and you could tell that he was having the time of his life. I will most definitely be back to Doggie District, without a doubt.

I used a Groupon to try this place for the first time for overnight boarding for a long weekend. I like that after orientation, the staff makes it a point to help with the dog’s adjustment to overnight boarding by allowing the dog to come in for 5 consecutive days of daycare. My dog seemed to have fun and seemed to look forward to playtime every day I dropped him off.
I did not give Doggie District 5 stars because of the following:
1) When I lived in California, for the same price, I had access to an online stream where I could see my dog. I think that should be an added service.
2) I had asked that my dog be groomed by the time I pick him up. The groomer did a great job, and my dog smelled fine. But, they placed a blue hankerchief around his neck. My dog is white. I didn’t take the hankerchief off until later that night and the blue had bled on my dogs fur.

I’ve been using Doggie District for the past two years and I haven’t had any complaints. I’ve used both the North Rainbow location and the Silverado location and have been equally satisfied. The staff has always been friendly and very helpful. I’m comforted by the fact that the pups get to play all day and not sit in the kennel. She’s never come home sick or too smelly. So they’re a-​ok in my book!
I’ll alternate using Doggie District with Petsmart, and they both have their pros and cons. Petsmart will give you a report card at the end of the day which shows that they were actually paying attention your dog during day care and will write down if she played or if she ate well, etc. However, Petsmart’s play area is much smaller than Doggie District’s and Doggie District also offers an outdoor play area as well.
Overall: nice facitily, friendly staff, and a happy little pup :)

Was referred to Doggie District by a friend and when she told me it was off of Cheyenne and Rainbow I was a little hesitant. It was a pleasant surprise to walk into the lobby and a) not feel like you’re in the Cheyenne/​Rainbow neighborhood and b) not smell one trace of dog anywhere. It smelled clean and fresh and although I’m sure the play areas smell like dogs have been playing hard, I liked that the lobby didn’t.
The process to get your dog in is thorough but the application is straight forward. Liesl was the one who assisted me in setting up my appointment and she was friendly, helpful and accommodating-​particularly after I had to change my assessment appointment on short notice.
The assessment is free and then if you think it’s a good fit for your dog, you have five free days after to let them check it out and really get a feel for it. My puppy loved it and I’m sure got way more exercise than she’s gotten in a long time and the social interaction is so valuable. She had a fantastic time and slept like a rock each day we took her there!
The employees seem to be able to identify every single dog-​new and old customers-​very quickly. Not being a dog person, I can appreciate someone who totally lives for this and will give my dog a super fun experience AND clean up after her without gagging.
It’s $ 20/​day a la carte. You can purchase packages of so many days, but have to pay in advance. The best deal (while pricey) is $ 12/​day, but you have to pay $ 1200 up front. Definitely worth it if you work a lot or your dog is an only child and could benefit from much needed play time!
