JC my cat spent 10 days and was well cared for. The staff sincerely care about the pets in their care. This is my go to place for all of JCs needs .
I will continue to support this business. My Daughter and son in law board their great Parines and French bulldog. Thank for the great care you provided JC.

Huge shoutout to the DogWatch teams. They’ve been incredible with my first dog - knowing him by name, working with him in his obedience training, and working with me as scheduling required me to board him. And seeing pictures or videos of him enjoying his time at the kennel is always a day maker. Thanks DW Fayetteville!

I brought my five month old puppy here for Obedience school. The only answers this trainer has is Spike every dog in the class and squirt every dog with a strong stream of water for anything you don’t like. I get that some dogs need aversive training. But that is not beginning training (night 1). I have taken dogs to obedience training in three different states and had good dogs who did not need spikes ever. This was the fourth state. And by far the worst training I have ever seen. Sorry, Kara, not every puppy needs to be spiked for Gods sake. That does not even pass for training.

Never written a review (never been compelled to), but the fact that I am writing one now should let you know that I have something to say and you should listen. I do think they care somewhat about the animals that they work with, however, I think they care more about money. I have a German Shepherd that is a little over a year old and I had taken her to day care multiple times. I was even compelled to buy a 10-day package for her. Last week I picked her up from day care and while I was in the car ride home I felt a bump on her side, like her hair was matted. As soon as I got home I investigated further and it turned it was matted from dried blood and she had a huge chunk taken out of her side! Now, I understand they are dogs and they rough house and might get some scratches, but they should not be cut down to the meat. I immediately drove back with my dog to show them and ask what happened. The person at the front desk had no idea! He said that she had not gotten into any fights throughout the day and acted good while she was there. So, what happened? Either they really had no idea, or they were just hoping I wouldn't notice. I was also in contact with my vet during all of this, setting up an appointment for my dog who ended up needing five staples in her side! The pictures attached do not do it justice, the entire cut is about 1.5 inches long. It also happened to cost me $60 dollars for the procedure, which they would not compensate me for. I was told I would get a call from someone, but never did. You would think that someone would call to ask if my dog was alright, but no. They acted very unprofessional during this entire process and their lack of concern shows they really only care about the money instead of their clients.

I would not recommend this place because I think they have a lot of things they need to change. I'm sure people have had good experiences with them, but as you can tell from various posts, people have also had very bad experiences. I think this place needs to make some serious changes though in terms of how they run their business. They need more employees to keep an eye over the dogs and they need a bigger facility for the dogs to play in. Too many dogs and not enough employees to watch over them and this is the outcome you can get. Unfortunately, these updates will cost them some extra money so its likely not going to happen.

I have used this facility several times in the past. They usually do a great job. However, the last time I took my Lab/bloodhound mix to stay for 5 days, she was returned to me with cuts, scratches, and raw skin all over her neck. It was not just a small "rub" from a tight collar. These were swollen raw patches on her neck that ranged from the tip of her chin to the bottom of her neck (if I could post a picture you would be amazed). No one tended to the new sores that developed after her arrival at the facility or attempted to notify me of any problem, issue, or situation that may have caused these sores. These sores were wet, her hair was all matted, and there was excessive pus coming from these areas. No one had tried to prevent an infection. This company claims to love pets and their profession but I COMPLETELY DISAGREE. The way my dog was returned to me was proof. If they shared the same love for animals, they would understand that something like this needs to be addressed and explained. I feel horribly for my pet and I will NEVER make her go back to this facility again. I can't say to never use this facility again, but use caution and you may consider another facility if you are going to be leaving your pet more than a day or two.

Kara was excellent with our dogs. She had our two girls three days a week for a month as part of DogWatch’s in-house training program. They came home every night understanding more commands and they were exhausted. Also, Kara was great about recording her training with each dog so that we could train ourselves as well. We had our most quiet and efficient month since the pandemic started!

DogWatch also carries unique treats that our dogs loved. We enjoyed the days the girls got to try something new or went home with a fun treat.

We would have loved to keep using DogWatch for daycare, but it is a bit far away from our home and one of our dogs gets incredibly car sick. That said, the training program was fantastic so if you’re located near the facility, we highly recommend their services.

Took my sister's senior dog in for a groom. She was happy coming out, her coat was soft, and her nails were trimmed better than expected.

We’ve taken our pups to Dogwatch for many years and always have a positive experience, both with daycare and with boarding! They have excellent dogfood as well and are very knowledgeable about products and training.
