Dakota’s Clubhouse, Inc

This is a review for a friend. She has 5 cats that Gilbert tended to while away at work. Gilbert is sweet, personable, friendly and very punctual. Gilbert came to the house to see what he needed to do, he always text me when finished to let me know all was well. It was such a pleasure and relief to know that Gilbert was there to tend the situation. I could not recommend him and his business more. 5 Stars is not enough. Gilbert in more than reasonable in his pricing. I would recommend for him for any requirements you have. In order to help Gilbert because of his busy schedule, just be sure to fill out the information form, give him any written directions if you have them (especially if coming to your house). Thank you Gilbert!

We have been taking our 2 high energy labs to Gilbert for almost a year and he has been fabulous with them! Very flexible and the dogs love staying with him over night.

Dakotas Clubhouse is the only place I will leave my dogs overnight when I’m away. Gilbert gives the best care. I never worry for a second when they’re with him. His prices are competitive, his home is incredibly dog-​friendly and he’s a great guy. My dogs are usually sad to see me pick them up :)
I could not recommend Dakotas Clubhouse more!

Gilbert is an absolute dream to have watch our pups. We have two large, high energy pups, and Gilbert has handled them with ease. We have left our girls with him for both boarding and daycare, and all of the experiences have been positive. We know they have a blast there as every time we pick them up from Gilbert’s, they don’t even make it to the end of his street before they are zonked out in the backseat.
Gilbert’s home is doggy proof and secure, and the pups have the option of running around in his shady backyard, or hanging out in the house. He also follows any dietary and training instructions that you give him. Not only that, Gilbert has gone the extra mile for us when we have been running late picking up the pups and has always been a more than gracious host.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We left our three dogs with Gilbert for the first time last week and couldn’t be happier. They liked being in a home environment, able to be inside or outside, play with other dogs, lounge on chairs or under trees, and have their ears scratched often. They stayed for five nights and we appreciated the daily pictures Gilbert sent us. They are a mid-​sized, active, friendly breed that needs lots of mental and physical stimulation. They got enough of both at Gilbert’s to come home happy, loved, and unstressed. We hope to take them to Gilbert for our next trip, too. Our dogs loved it, and so did we.

This place really goes the extra mile to make both you and your dog feel comfortable. Gilbert and Ryan did an excellent job coming out to my apartment to take my dog on walks while I was away. I would recommend them to anyone and am definitely using them in the future. They sent me pictures of a happy dog after every walk and when I returned home my dog seemed to have enjoy her time. Thanks again.

Dakota’s clubhouse is wonderful. Gilbert is caring and kind to the pups. My boyz stayed there for 9 days for the first time and Gilbert updated me everyday with texts and pictures. They looked happy and well-​cared for and adjusted back to our home easily. Gilbert followed my instructions to the «T», which made a huge difference in their welfare. I love the flexibility of their schedule and the caring to accommodate ! Thank you, thank you Gilbert, Dakota and Aston! The Katzman family loves you!!!

We’ve been using Dakota’s Clubhouse for almost a full year now and we are still as happy as can be with Gilbert’s service. LOVE his company and the amazing quality of service they provide!
THE HIGHEST OF HIGH RECOMMENDATIONS!

My two Greyhounds have been coming to Dakota’s Clubhouse since we moved here in late 2012. Gilbert is professional and organized and clearly loves dogs and so do the other people that work with him. When my dogs are with Gilbert at Dakota’s Clubhouse, I get a quick update or picture on my cell to let me know how they are doing — this is invaluable to me! I could not be happier with the services they provide — Gilbert and his crew are always responsive and take really good care of all of their daily visitors…;-) They keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. My two will be spending a weekend with Gilbert coming up soon — and I am ssooo relieved to be sending Finn and Lexi to a place where they are comfortable and taken care of. It will make my weekend away that much less stressful. We definitely recommend Gilbert and Dakota’s Clubhouse!

Dakota’s Clubhouse isn’t a kennel; it’s a doggie vacation. The owner and caretaker of the pups, Gilbert, is a really nice dude who clearly loves dogs. Your pup won’t be scared or nervous at Dakota’s Clubhouse! Our dogs were excited to be there and had an amazing time. We received frequent pictures and updates to our cell phones from Gilbert throughout the weekend. To be honest I don’t even think our dogs missed us that much. They can even sleep wherever they want! My boyfriend and I both loved the playful atmosphere of Dakota’s clubhouse and you will too if your dog is friendly with other dogs. I wouldn’t recommend my mom having her dog stay there, for instance, because he is terrified of other dogs. But if your dog is chill, I couldn’t recommend Gilbert and his home more. Winston and Nesto will definitely be back!

I love these guys. I have used many other providers of day and overnight care but nothing comes close to Dakota’s. Not only are they accommodating to last minute changes, but my dog comes home happy, well exercised and ready for her afternoon nap. I was with another service that I happily left after the owner turned out to be a jerk (I can’t wait to write that review). Gilbert came to my house to meet our family to make sure Mollie was not only a fit but also to go over the paperwork. Another nice feature is their private play area. It’s not like that garbage Whitenhall park that the city neglects. The Dakota play area is clean, has lots of grass and is well gated.

The owner Gilbert is an awesome guy. You can tell that he loves what he does, he is very passionate and caring. He personally came to my place to meet my dog and took him to the park the first time. My dog was very happy when he got back, totally calm and tired. The next time they came to picked him up, he was super excited and just took off with them. He really loves it. I like the idea of a private dogpark and know that my dog is in great hands. Gilbert really cares about his costumers and I like that they send pictures as well. Highly recommend them and will keep using them!

The guys at Dakota’s Clubhouse have been taking care of my dog Winnie for almost a year now & they are wonderful, I don’t know what I would do without them. Winnie goes to their day time adventure camp which he flys out the door to get to, & comes home happy & sleepy. I’ve also boarded him overnight with them a few time & he is treated like one of the family & even gets to cuddle up on the bed just like at home. They also do a swimming lesson in the summer that is great on hot days. They’ve been so accommodating to my schedule, I’ve been able to call them last minute to take him & they’re always willing to help. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting an excellent doggie daycare/​boarding service. They are the best!
