Pros

working with dogs great associates

Cons

this is the worst Petsmart Hotel/doggy daycare ever! Don’t leave your animals here they don’t care about the safety or the well-being of the animals in their care! I would never leave my dogs here, knowing what goes on behind closed doors! They claim safety as the number one priority, but safety is not the number one priority, nor is having a clean environment for the dogs that are boarding in their cages and the hotel itself! and the manager treats her employees like absolute crap so please stop giving them business because she runs on commission! this hotel deserves to be closed!

Pros

The staff care a lot and try their hardest but it leads to burn out and being taken advantage of by a company the does not care about YOU.

Cons

Poor management. No work life balance. Bad scheduling. Bad pay. No communication. Leads expected to work more than 10 hours a day during high volume periods, Be responsible for too many things. You run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off the whole time you're at work. Staff are snippy, and rude. A few are okay. Company has you working bare bones, and does not care. Pet parent's are weird, and I don't think have realistic expectations that the boarding facility is more like dropping your dog off at a dog shelter for a week while you go on vacation than a "fun time" for your dog. Dogs get fed, watered, pottied. If that is all you care about, then use the PetHotel. If you want your dog to have fun, and be out of a stressful environment (few dogs do well with constant barking and noise all day, plus being stuck in a cement run, thrown in with a bunch of other dogs who have never been properly socialized) just do in home boarding. I would never board my dog at a place like this.
