Testimonials
Dogs love staying at The Pooches Playhouse! But don’t just take our word for it, check out what our client’s owners have to say about us!
Charlie absolutely loves it there. The moment we arrive, he races to the door without a second glance at me, sometimes waving his paws in the air as if to say, “Hurry up, let me in!” Whether it’s a half-day, a full day, or even an overnight stay during vacations or emergencies, I trust The Pooches Playhouse completely with his care.
The team—Sara, Lourdes, and the entire team —are always warm and welcoming. Their positive energy is contagious, and it’s clear how much they love what they do. They send photo updates throughout the day, host fun monthly events for the dogs, and even give back to the community. They’ve been lifesavers in accommodating last-minute emergencies, too.
A special shoutout to Jaida, Olivia, Bailey, and David, who always go above and beyond for Charlie. And of course, a gold-star mention for Paulina—Charlie is obsessed with her, more than anyone outside of our family. It’s heartwarming to see how much he loves spending time with her (even if she sometimes has to hide to catch a break!).
The Pooches Playhouse is absolutely worth the drive from downtown. Plus, their Instagram is amazing—definitely check it out!
They Treated Him like He Was One of the Family
My little Kenzo Benzo stayed at The Pooches Playhouse while my family and I went on vacation to Mexico for 5 days. They came and picked him up before our trip and dropped him off as soon as we got back home which was super convenient and very helpful as planning a family vacay can be very hectic.
I knew he was in good hands because they sent me photos and little videos of my pup everyday to let me know how much fun he was having. I also love that they don’t crate him at night. They treated him like he was one of the family. I highly recommend The Pooches Playhouse and I will definitely be using their services in the future!
Sara Was Amazing with Bruce Who Requires Special Attention
The Pooches Playhouse far surpassed our expectations. Sara was absolutely amazing with our recently adopted 4 year old Bullmastiff, Bruce who requires very special attention. Bruce was severely abused and part of a dog fighting rescue and cannot be around other animals. He is exceptionally friendly with humans but is still learning to trust them again. Sara was very patient, kind and caring with both him and our home while we were away for the week. I highly recommend her and will certainly be inviting her back. Bruce misses her already.
Sara Picked Up Oliver in Ajax
I heard about The Pooches Playhouse through a friend. I decided it check it. Sara picked up Oliver (I live in Ajax), sent me pictures of him having fun with other dogs, and then drove him home. Sara is very knowledgeable and gave me some good advice when I mentioned a couple of issues Oliver has. I would definitely recommend The Pooches Playhouse to anyone.
Home Away from Home
What I appreciate most about Sara is not just her obvious love for animals (Yankee fell in love with her immediately), it’s also her passion! I don’t feel guilty taking any trips anymore because Yankee feels like he’s on vacation too. She is so good at what she does that I don’t think my little guy wants to come home. I will definitely recommend The Pooches Playhouse to anyone and everyone. Thank you Sara for making The Pooches Playhouse his home away from home.
Received Pictures of Our Dog While We Were Gone
We were referred to this company by a friend to take care of our 3 year old Shih Poo for 3 nights while my husband and I were out of town. I was hesitant at first since we usually just have friends doggy-sit while we’re away but Sara was soo good with him! Our dog is usually timid around new people but he just jumped in her arms, tail wagging and off he went! I love that Sara also offers a pick up and drop off service. Makes it so much more convenient!! Also, the dogs can sleep on the sofa or bed (not in crates) and we received pictures of our dog while we were gone which was nice. I would (and already have) recommended this service to friends i know with dogs! Great service!
