Manilow’s Canine Playground

We sent our beloved Siberian Husky to Barbara and the gang and Manilow’s for many years. When we moved out of the area we were all heartbroken. Being 45 minutes away we still used Manilow’s for kenneling and occasional day trips. Every time we got off the exit to Manilow’s my dog would go NUTS!!! He came home tired and happy. We would say the word «Barbara» and his ears would sit straight up! We lost our dog in September after 10 wonderful years with him and our new puppy will be arriving soon. We are so sad we will not have Barbara and her gang as a staple in the life of this new pup. Barbara is passionate and loving and it is SO OBVIOUS how wonderful she is at what she does when you see her interact with animals. We plan to kennel the new pup with Manilow’s and have him visit whenever possible. We tried several other doggy day cares where we live and none have come even close in comparison! This is a wonderful place and you won’t regret sending your pup to visit!

My dog used Manilow’s from 2007 – 2015 for doggy day care and kenneling. I have nothing but praise for Barbara and her entire staff. I took my dog to several other doggy day care facilities in the area and none of them were as welcoming as Barbara and Manilow’s. As a matter of fact I question whether those other doggy day care owner’s even enjoy dogs.
The other «review» on here that suggests Barbara is not socially oriented with dogs is simply false. My dog came home tired every day and I never had any issues with her or her service. She has the largest outdoor playground with huge fenced off sections for dogs of all sizes and temperament as well as an indoor kenneling area and a large indoor open space with toys etc.
Barbara was there for my family’s dog through a couple moves that were very stressful for everyone (especially my dog) and she was there to offer severely discounted pricing to help us out.
Ultimately don’t’ rely one on persons slanted view on a business. Particularly when they leave room to personally insult someone online, consider motive. Go check out Manilow’s for yourself. Once you get to know Barbara you would find she has is a kind person who’s 100% in tune with dogs.

My dog comes out of Manilow’s as if she is just waking up. Why? Because the dogs are crated in the «nap room» (dungeon) most of their stay. There is no dog noise upon arrival because they are caged in the dungeon of various sized crates. The owner, Barbara, is not human or dog socially oriented. She’s abrupt, monotone, never excited to see you or your dog, has little interaction with other people’s dog and quick to send your dog outside before they get caged. What a gig to take in so much money for so little work. The 2 hour pick up/​drop off allotments reveal that she leaves in between those times. Leaving my dog at this place is the same as crating my dog at home alone, except, I save money. Totally not impressed. Shame on Manilow’s for pretending to be dog –oriented.
