Dogtopia of Yorktown

"I sent my pup to Dogtopia this week on a “free day of play” promotion. I would really love a place where he can play and be safe while I’m at work. Naturally, I’m going to watch the cameras, which didn’t work all of the time- they do shut them off from noon-2pm during nap time, but they were down during several portions of the time outside of this. I feel that if it’s a dog’s first day, you should maybe nurture them or check on them a little bit more to ensure acclimation. When the cameras worked, what I did see was my dog desperately seeking out a little human attention (a pet, something) and he was consistently IGNORED. I’m a dog lover, so if any dog comes up to me and seems to want my attention, I’m giving it. Not here, they literally just walked through him or pushed him away. It was actually really sad to watch. If you want a place to “store” your dog, this will work. If you want a place where your dog is treated nicely with attentive supervision, this is not that."

"My dog loves it here! The staff is great, and the web cams are a wonderful resource. I love that they have 3 different rooms so there are not too many dogs in one playroom. Another place I tried while ago had WAY too many dogs in the play room. This way there are plenty of dogs for my Bernice to play with and the staff is able too monitor them. Bernie is happy and gets lots of exercise and socialization."

"While the staff is nice and it was a safe place to keep the puppy, I cannot recommend this place. I did not know or even think to ask if they gave the dogs potty breaks, but they don't. For 12 hours, the dogs are allowed to be in one room urinating and pooping all over!! How repulsive. My puppy came home and stunk sooo bad I had to bathe her at 8pm after a long day. In addition, my puppy never had accidents in the house and after that experience has been slipping in the house the last couple of days. Completely un-trained what you try to teach pups. To hold it and go outside."

"I never thought in a million years that I would send my dog to daycare. However I know that socializing a dog is super important and the only time I could get out and about with other dogs was on the weekend at the dog park. My Pete just loves playing at the park so I figured I'd check out Dogtopia. I was super impressed with the facility (many different play rooms and outdoor areas) as well as with the friendliness of the staff. Pete is greeted by name when we walk in. It's kinda fun to watch him play with all the other dogs (and staff) via camera when I have a moment at work to sneak a peek. We love Dogtopia so much that we use their grooming and boarding services too! I can't speak highly enough. If I could give higher than a 10/10 I would!"

"I always feel like I am dropping my pup off at a place where she is safe, loved and well cared for! My dog is very high energy, so daycare is a fantastic option to keep her well exercised during the work week. The staff members have all been very kind and quick to address any questions or concerns that I have brought up. I also love all the themed days and photo ops, such as back to school picture day, Halloween costume contest and pictures with Santa!"
