Woof’s Play and Stay

My dog and I love Woof’s! I watch him on camera via my iPhone and occasionally catch the staff holding him and loving on him. It’s so appreciated.
My only complaint is that on Fridays before holiday weekends there are TONS of dogs, and I know that can be overwhelming for my little one– And it’s frustrating when only 2 of the pens are being used, instead of all 3 (small, medium, large) on days when it’s crowded– might be understaffing at that particular moment, but if that’s the case then a dog number limit might be a good thing, even if it means that I have to take my dog elsewhere just on that particular day.
That said I’m still really happy with this place and love the staff! My doggie is exhausted and better behaved after a long day at Woof’s ;)

We LOVE Woof’s! We have been taking our dogs to Woof’s for the past 2 years and have NEVER had even 1 compliant about the care our dogs receive here. We take them once a week for «play day», every month for grooming and several times a year for boarding. The owners and staff are the best ever! Prior to coming to Woof’s we had a bad experience with 2 other places here in KC. We have 2 dogs, 1 old Lhasa Apso and 1 (very high energy) young golden doodle. Like another reviewer wrote our dogs know immediately that they are going to play when we say «Woof’s»…they literally go stand by the garage door! Thank you Andy, Maria and the rest of the Staff for taking such great care of our little 4-​legged loved ones.

I don’t have anywhere else to compare Woof’s to, but that’s because I like it here so much. Well, I mean, it seems fine, anyway. But I spend considerably less time here than the dogs do, and they can’t tell me about the place. In fact, the staff is so nice here, it makes me wonder if there’s some Happy Gilmore kind of stuff going on. You remember how Happy has to put his grandma in a nursing home while he is playing in golf tournaments, and the staff is extremely friendly to his face but when he leaves it turns into a nightmare for the residents? But that can’t be true here, because they have cameras so you can monitor online what’s happening (no one is running out into traffic and slamming into cars, for example). Also, I’m not participating in golf tournaments. I’m aware that if you haven’t seen Happy Gilmore, that just made no sense.
Actually, I guess the dogs sort of are able to tell us how much they like it here because whenever my girlfriend or I drop them off, they act like they can’t get to the front door fast enough. Granted, our husky is that way with any door; she just wants to go anywhere at all, seemingly with no regard whatsoever.
Anyways, this is specifically why I like Woof’s:
— Practically every time I walk in the door, someone has already gotten up to go back and retrieve the dogs for me. It shows that extra step to dedication to hooman customer service.
— They clearly pay attention to the dogs because I often get a full daily report on how the dogs behaved that day, plus they demonstrate that they’re fully aware of your dog’s name and tendencies after just a few visits. It shows that extra step to dedication to dog customer service.
— It seems like the owner, Andy, has made it just a fun and stress-​free place to work because there’s good camaraderie between the associates and they’re always chill and engaging when you walk in. And he’s often present, meaning he’s not being lazy and «working from home».
— The dogs aren’t kenneled. I don’t understand why you would bother to pay a business that’s just going to let your dog out every now and then. Like if you’re gonna do that, just leave your dog at home.
I don’t see how you would possibly be disappointed here, hoomans.

I love Woof’s! We take our dog, Holmes, to Woof’s once a week and he loves it. Every Friday he sits by the front door and waits for us to get him ready to go to «doggie day care» (he absolutely knows what those three words mean!) Holmes is an incredibly energetic dog and it takes a lot to tire him out. By the time he gets home from Woof’s, he eats dinner, and promptly flops on the floor and falls asleep. Holmes loves everyone and everything (dogs, people, cats) and I know he loves playing with the other dogs (I can see from the webcams, which, by the way, are awesome and always make my Fridays a bit more awesome) The staff are incredibly nice and I love reading Holmes’ report card every week. I also really love that they separate the rooms by size. Holmes is really energetic and its good for him to be able to play with dogs his own size he can keep up with.
Really, I can’t say enough how much I love this place. People say their prices are kind of high, but I think for the services you get, it’s absolutely worth it.

Woof’s is the best. My dog gets a little nervous and overwhelmed when she comes in at first, and the staff is really good with her. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with the staff.
The first time I used Woof’s, I was offered a little tour of the facility, which is something that I have strangely never experienced at another doggie daycare since.
It’s awesome that you can check in on the pups via the camera app, and the «report cards» are adorable.
The only downside to Woof’s is that understandably, they book fast, especially for holidays! I haven’t had too much problem on random days/​weekends throughout the year, but book way ahead for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Woof’s is A++++ in my opinion. I have taken my golden to two other daycare facilities, one in Overland Park near I-​435 and Roe and one near Boulder, CO. Woof’s by far surpasses either of them. We are totally happy here! I took my golden to the facility in Overland Park because they would take him before I neutered him at one year old. They had a «much» smaller area inside and outside area for the dogs to play in. My dog was «never» tired when I brought him home from that other daycare. The other place only put the dogs out to play 2 hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon and then the dogs were put in individual kennels for the vast majority of the day. The final blow to make me go on and neuter him so I could bring my boy to Woof’s was that another dog bit my dog and second dog on the same day at the Overland Park daycare. Luckily, it wasn’t serious, but to solve the situation, they started letting my boy out only 2 hours in the morning and letting the dog who bit my dog and another dog out in the afternoon. I was paying for full day at the Overland Park daycare for 1 hour and 45 minutes of group play.
I LOVE Woof’s. My boy loves going there! He is tired «every» time he comes home. I bring him home and feed him dinner, and then he falls asleep. I really wanted to take him somewhere that they had indoor and outdoor play areas. So many places I went to look at were only indoor play. I don’t want my dog going potty inside. I love that the areas to play in at Woof’s are large enough so that they can run around and get tired inside and outside. Of course, I love being able to check in during the day on the webcam. Woof’s have the cameras situated where you can always find your dog and see what they are doing. (That is also something that the Overland Park daycare sucked at. Their cameras pointed at a corner of the yard and at a table. You could never find your dog.) Andy, the owner, has always been at the front desk when I come to pick up my boy. He always has a big smile and is ready to tell you how your pup did that day. One day my guy got really dirty, and Andy went beyond nice and had him shampooed before I got there. They are the best!
Colorado is super dog friendly. But the best rated dog daycare near Boulder had a very small play area. I thought my boy was tired at the end of the day, not from running and playing, but from being awake all day.
We love Woof’s, and I don’t know how they could improve it. Wish I could afford to bring my boy here everyday!
A and Q

I’ve taken my dog Tucker here twice for day play, once for boarding over the weekend, and once for grooming. I give them 5 stars for each of the experiences! The day pay price was standard in my opinion, the grooming was actually cheaper for me than at other groomers for the same quality cut, and the boarding is a little more on the pricy side but the amenities are worth the price.
I’m very protective of my boy, so I asked for a tour of the facilities the first time I brought him. The staff was extremely friendly and they were happy to show me around. Whenever they see us they refer to both of us by name and they can always give me a full report of Tucker’s time without referring back to notes or anything like that, so I know they truly get to know their customers. I love that have an open indoor/​outdoor concept and the dogs are out there from morning until dark with a staff member. I request that Tucker gets breakfast and lunch at a certain time, also to give him a breaks from play, and I know (from checking the cameras) that they follow his same meal schedule that I give him at home. They also set aside all the snacks that you bring on a table near the dog runs, labeled with each dogs name. The cameras are a really nice bonus. I like having the ability to easily check in on him from my phone app. Tucker always looks like he’s had a good time and comes home and sleeps the rest of the night. Woofs also offers «report cards» so I know what other dogs he has made friends with and how he did that day. When I took Tucker in for boarding, that was the first time I had boarded him EVER. The staff was extremely reassuring and answered all of my questions. I called a couple of times over the few times they were there and they always picked up and were happy to give me an update on how he was doing.
As for the grooming, as I said earlier, coming to Woofs was actually $ 20 cheaper for me than Tucker’s previous groomers. I believe my groomers name was Brittany, and she did an AMAZING job in record time (1 hr 15 min, compared to the 4 hrs I’m used to) I’m pretty picky about Tucker’s cut since he has a double coat and sheds like crazy. She listened to everything I said and got it right the first time, even offering to do a touch up if I wanted but it wasn’t necessary. Also, they hand blow dry and brush, which I really appreciate because I’ve heard horror stories about dogs becoming dehydrated and even dying in those dryer boxes. It’s not likely to happen, but it made me feel better.
I’d HIGHLY recommend Woofs. I couldn’t say enough nice things about them. Tucker practically drags me into the building when we go!

My dog is spoiled rotten in that I hate to keep him inside all day when I’m at work. The only way I can get through the week guilt free is to take Murphy to daycare at least once a week. That’s how it started anyway!
I wouldn’t take my pup to anywhere other than Woofs. Andy is absolutely fabulous and you can really tell he and his staff love their jobs. I take Murphy there for daycare, boarding, AND grooming. He even has a Royals collar I bought from there (which I didn’t take off all season, by the way. You’re welcome, Kansas City).
It is a little bit more expensive than some places, but when you buy the daycare packages it takes the price down to where it’s not as much in the long run. Plus, I think when a place is as good as Woof’s is, it is worth the extra money.
My dog is like my child and I wouldn’t take him anywhere that I didn’t trust. I can’t tell you how much I recommend this place.

Love Woofs! Andy and his staff are fabulous. Our pup always had a blast at daycare and whenever we had to travel out of town, we knew our dog was safe. Thank you for always treating Coraline like a family member, she will miss you all!

I’ve used woofs twice now and I have to say I’m impressed! It’s a bit more pricey than pet smarts dog daycare but here they get to go inside or out and seem to have a lot more room to roam. They are also great about getting you in last minute. I called on a Saturday at 10:30 to try and get him in to day camp at noon and it was no problem.
All the staff members that I’ve met have been amazing and seem to genuinely want to be there. When I came to pick my dog up from his first trial day the man who greeted me at the counter said «oh Jasper, we all loved him. He’s such a sweetheart» it really made me feel like the staff cared about the animals they take care of.
They also offer boarding and grooming. I haven’t tried either yet but if and when I need those services I wouldn’t hesitate to use either one!

This place makes me feel secure when I drop off my dogs. I was testing some different places the week before I started my new job full time. I know this is strange but I literally watched the camera at each place I took them for 3 hours straight lol. Dog Pawz in the crossroads was awful-​not a single human being acknowledge my dogs. The only time a human had contact with them was when another dog pottied and they came in an cleaned it up really quick then left. I LOVE this place because while I watched online, there was an attendant in with the dogs the entire time. They played with my dogs, pet them, and genuinely looked like they really enjoyed being in there with the dogs! I could tell the attendant had established relationships with some of the dogs who went there often too. This place gave me piece of mind that someone’s taking care/​loving on my pups when I’m away.

So glad I discovered Woof’s!
In preparing for a week-​long vacation (the longest I’ve left my chorkie Oliver) I researched multiple boarding places in the KC area. I looked at type of boarding, location, price, and reviews. Woof’s looked really good, had great reviews and I loved the straight-​up, no hidden fees pricing, so I decided to check it out.
I went in to take a tour and was really pleased with what I saw. Oliver went in for his «Meet-​n-​Greet» that weekend. He was nervous at first, as he usually is when I’ve left him for boarding in the past, but when I came back to pick him up a few hours later he was happy and excited. When I came in to drop him off for the boarding stay he was excited and happily left to go back and play without a second thought. This is the best I’ve felt about leaving him somewhere, and I chalk it up to the free «Meet-​n-​Greet» that they require. So great!
I picked him up today and he was excited to see me, but also ran around to say goodbye to the staff up front. He had another great report card. I love that they offer these. It helps me feel like I know what he was doing while he was there, especially since I was out of the country and couldn’t log on to the video cams (Though my mom did and said he was having fun!). He must have had fun, because he’s been sleeping since I brought him home! Nothing makes me happier than to see a pooped-​out, happy pup. Thanks Woof’s! We’ll be back for sure!

Best of the best for overnights, day– play and grooming!
Why leave your dog in a box at petsmart or other vet’s etc when your dog can play all day.

Woof’s is outstanding for doggie day care. The staff give the dogs loving care and provide lots of fun. Our dog gets very excited the moment he figures out he’s going for a play day!

Woof’s is the greatest place ever! We have been using them for boarding and daycare for about two years now, and our dogs absolutely love going! The staff members are all so nice and caring, and know our dogs by name as soon as they walk in. They are very personable with us and our dogs, and really go the extra mile to make them comfortable. Anytime we have to board them I know they will be very well taken care of and having lots of fun!

I’ve been taking my dogs to Woofs since I moved to KC 2.5 years ago. The facility itself is excellent and clean, and I love that they have a sectioned off area that you can speak with the front-​desk staff without having to yell over copious amounts of barking dogs. The staff is truly incredible, especially Chad who I swear has the best memory of anyone I’ve ever met. I can call him at any time and he remembers both me and my dogs, and all of my little nuances (an in turn, my dogs nuances). I felt terrible one year b/​c I had to board my dog over his birthday, and they surprised me with an adorable birthday card for my dog, which made me feel so much better knowing that he was getting the attention he deserved on his birthday. Yes, this place is expensive, but that is because you get top-​notch service.
I have since moved across town and use a different spot for day-​play, but refuse to overnight board my dogs anywhere other than Woofs because they truly are the *very* best. This means I drive 30 minutes out of my way each direction in order to ensure my dogs are being taken care of in the way that I am comfortable with. From the webcams, themed penthouse suites, and the exceptional staff, I cant fathom boarding my dogs anywhere else.

We’ve used Woof’s for all of our doggy boarding, grooming, and daycare needs over the past year and a half, and I have to say that I’m definitely a fan… and our doggy boys are, too!
We checked out Woof’s prior to boarding our dogs there, and were pretty impressed. We had just dropped in, so we saw the place in all of its working glory, and it was clean and all of the dogs seemed happy and comfortable. Each dog has to be a member of the Woof Pack before they can stay at Woof’s, which is a nice idea — they make sure each dog staying is social and comfortable around other dogs so that there are as few «personality conflicts» as possible. After having a look around, we booked our dogs in for a Woof Pack assessment, and they passed with flying colors.
The staff here really seem to be great with dogs. Our pups are recognized the minute they come in, and each staff member remembers their «quirks» (ie: they don’t wear collars while they’re at Woof’s, our dachshund is shy and hates having his nails trimmed, etc.). Last year when we were away, our dogs developed some irritation on their necks from their collars, and the staff actually called us to let us know what was going on, and to ask if it was alright if they took off their collars. I feel like that’s really going the extra mile, and appreciate how close of an eye they keep on our dogs, and how much they want to be sure they’re happy and comfortable.
Our dogs are always happy when they go to Woofs, and happy (and tired) when we pick them up. We’re able to bring our own food and toys when we drop them off for overnight stays, and I love that the staff don’t over-​feed our boys. I always send along extra food, just in case, and the extras always come home with them. Any time we get them a bath they come out looking great, and with stylish bandannas on, even if it’s just a standard bath and not a full grooming. Love it.
The dog play areas are separated by size, and each area has both an indoor and outdoor play area. I can check on our boys via web cam any time, which is great for when we’re traveling and I’m missing them.
I do feel like Woof’s is a little bit expensive for overnight boarding, even though we get a bit of a discount for boarding the boys together, which is the only reason they don’t get 5 stars. However, the dogs do get great care at Woof’s, so I shouldn’t complain about the price.
It’s a relief to know that we don’t need to worry about our boys any time they’re at Woof’s. I’m definitely a fan, and we’ll certainly keep going back.

This place has been the ‘go to’ for me and my dogs since they opened. Their rates are the best in town for daycare. I like the staff, the management, and the setup. When shopping for boarding services, take a look at the wonderful amount of outdoor time that your animal will enjoy with the staff here all included in the boarding price. I have seen a couple of other establishments with prices close to Woofs, but then if you want your pet to have more than say an hour outside (their area is covered or open, your dog chooses), then you pay SOOO much more. Many other places don’t offer an option (at any price), to allow your dog to play in social groups as long as they play here with standard boarding. My dogs come home happy and worn out from all the play. Come see the place. They take great care of it and the dogs have so much play space.

I have had my mini dachshund attend for day care 2 times now and each time it appears as if he’s had a great day! I love the report card they give you at the end of the day and I love that they have webcams up all day so you can monitor your dog and how the staff and other dogs are interacting.
It is quick to drop him off and to pick him up. They will also accommodate any special instructions you have, which I really appreciate.

I’ve used Woof’s a few times now for boarding, and I am incredibly happy with the experience.
The facility is spacious, clean and nice and bright. A happy place for happy dogs, I assume. The staff is all great, as well. They seem to be dog lovers, and they seem to be actively engaged with the animals, at least during the daytime hours. The price is pretty much in line with other quality kennels in town. Overall, an incredibly pleasant experience.
There are two areas where Woof stands out from the pack (ha!) that I think need to be mentioned. First, your dog has to «audition» to be allowed as part of the Woof Pack. What this means is that before you are permitted to kennel, your dog has to come over for a playdate to make sure they’re not some sort of anti-​social, bitey rabies machine. My dog can be pretty timid, and it makes me feel good that she won’t have to share her vacation with bullies.
Second, they have webcams that allow you to log in and check out your dog’s playtime from anywhere in the world. I have enjoyed getting ready for bed in Spain and being able to get online and watch my pooch playing her heart out with the staff and other dogs. It certainly allows you to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing that your fur-​kids are well cared for.
Keep it up Woofs, you’re pretty dang cool!
