Top Dog Daycare & Extended Stay

I don’t trust this place. I took my two dogs there for boarding three times. They were never excited to go back, but that’s no shocker. After the third time, my lab threw up, trembled for a day or so, and had diarrhea for three days. The next time we went out of town, I took him back to the place I’d always gone to before, and she afterward asked if something had happened to the lab. He had increased separation anxiety and was particularly frightened of poop scoops (which I don’t use). I went to Top Dog because of all the good reviews, but it didn’t work for my dogs.

Staff is friendly and attentive. Since I live in Tumwater, this is so convenient for weekly drop offs and pickups during the week. Once a week helps give my fur friend socialization and exercise during the week. (It helps mitigate my guilt about mid-​week time for my «best friend.»)

Top Dog is amazing. We travel and work a lot and have an anxious little Maltese that we adore and needs special care. Debbie and her team are the only ones we feel safe leaving our little guy with. The personalized care is outstanding and reasonably priced. We like that Debbie will give us updates when we ask about our little boy by text or email, especially when we are out of the country. We recommend Top Dog Daycare and Extended Stay to anyone that wants quality care and peace of mind for their doggies when at work or out of town.

My one year old pup has been coming here for about 7 months, once a week or less for daycare. He was a rescue who was poorly socialized and also had some bad behaviors (not aggressive, but definitely annoying). They really helped him learn how to interact with other dogs well. He loves going, which is really nice because he is usually glued to me and not interested in other people. He is always safe, seems happy and content afterwards, tired but not overly exhausted. The owner is wonderful and her staff are a lot of fun, someone is always with the dogs (other places will leave dogs unattended, which is why I went elsewhere), and they really get to know the dogs well. I highly recommend this place. I’ve never boarded, but have been impressed with the daycare and the staff.

I found this little gem a few years ago after I moved to Tumwater. Debbie and her staff are wonderful and my lab absolutely loves it here. I sincerely appreciate the care they have provided and even more so-​letting me know if there were any issues (once my dog got snapped at by another dog no major issues). They always recognize my dog when I bring her in for daycare even if it has been several months. I trust them with my «fur-​baby» and will continue to bring her here for a fun filled play day!

Awesome place, they really look after the dogs in there care. We use their daycare services weekly so our pup can play in a pack.
