My boy Colby went to Smilin Dogs 3 times a week as well as occasional boarding for over 4 years. It was his happy place as well as mine because I knew that the facility gave the dogs a lot of space and the level of supervision needed to … read more
We love Smilin Dogs! I have a rescue terrier who has issues with separation anxiety and they handle her wonderfully. She loves going to “school” and is always so excited when we pull up. I really appreciate how professional and friendly the… read more
Our fearful dog is not good with most people, other than us, but he is willing to accept and maybe even be responsive to the folks at Smilin Dogs – which is really amazing. We appreciate that we can leave him there and know that he is safe … read more

Our dog goes to the Dog Ranch twice a week and can't wait to be picked up. She waits by the window and starts shaking with excitement when she feels the van is close by, way before I can personally see it myself 😉 I know she is well … read more
Love Smilin Dogs (as does my dog!). Took my last dog (Aussie) there beginning in 2009 – he loved it. Hiking, overnights, he never stopped getting completely excited when their van showed up. Our current guy is far more mellow (GSD mutt) … read more
Our dog loves going to the dog ranch! She know the drill now so she’s happy to see them when they come to pick her up and she comes home happy and tired. We’ve also boarded her with Smilin Dogs and know she’s in good hands while we’re away… read more

Smilin Dogs has been a life saver for me during COVID. Working in healthcare, it has been difficult to leave work on time or even operate within a normal schedule. Having a 4 month old Golden Doodle was overwhelming as well raising him … read more
Smilin Dogs has been simply amazing. Our maltipoo was very shy of other dogs and wouldn’t interact much. Everyone at Smilin Dogs has gone out of their way to help him get comfortable with other dogs and have constantly provided us with … read more

Our dogs love it here, and we love them for taking care of our furry babies, like they are their own. It's our dogs' second home and family. We couldn't recommended them more. Not too many dogs per handler, dog's are grouped per size, have … read more
After moving up the Peninsula, we needed to find a doggy daycare. I was initially bummed by this task because we loved our old place... After finding Smilin Dogs, any/all concerns were erased! They're very thorough, beginning with the … read more
