Pet Boarding Training in Indianapolis

“We set up an introduction to Puppy Playground before we moved to town….had been recommended by dog owners! And he was a happy boy during the introduction. Higgins was set to be part of their “family.” Always a great experience…staff knows his name and his personality….and give him love always. Higgins lives at Puppy Playground when we travel besides social play times while we’re hom. Always returns happy! Cannot ask for a better surroundings for our 5 year old Clumber Spaniel! If he’s happy….we are happy!“

“I’ve seen every vet at this practice with both of my dogs and have always had amazing care! The front desk staff, vet techs, the groomer Sarah, all outstanding! Really appreciate everyone who works here!“

“Yes! Love the staff here! Everyone is kind and caring. My dog Alden gets good care here.“

“Our dog Ollie is not the easiest dog to board and Lucky Dog does such a great job understanding his behavior and taking steps acclimate him to the stay. He comes home very tired and is always eager to go back.“

“I have been going to this clinic for a few years now and each vet we have seen has been wonderful. My cat is not an angel at the vet to put it kindly but they are all wonderful with him. I’m so appreciative. We saw Dr Peters today for the first time and she and her team were amazing.“

“This is the most compassionate vet you’ll ever meet. I’ve been going to him for decades when my son’s dog was dying. He literally took him home with him over the weekend to keep an eye on him. What vet does that? He is an angel on earth working miracles“

“My girl, Clover, is a ~2-year-old Beagle mix I rescued this past March. I don’t know much about her past, but it’s likely she lived in a loud, unstable environment where she wasn’t treated well and never got the chance to just be a puppy. She came to me with no training, no sense of boundaries or safety, and was completely overwhelmed by the world. Separation anxiety was my biggest concern, along with challenges like socialization, excessive barking/licking, potty training, and crate training.

From the moment I met Margaret and her team, I felt hope. They are some of the most compassionate, intelligent, and genuinely caring people I’ve ever met. They welcomed Clover exactly as she was — nervous, unsure, and overwhelmed — and treated her with such gentleness and patience. And they didn’t just work with her; they worked with me too. They taught me how to read her body language, how to help her regulate, and how to show her she’s safe now. They gave us both the tools to succeed.

When Clover came home from her 10-day board and train, it was like a light had switched back on inside her. Like she finally felt safe enough to just be.

I will forever be grateful to Margaret and her team. You didn’t just train my dog — you gave her her life back.“

“Keeva loves playing with her friends at daycare! She comes home happy and very tired. The staff are great from boarding, grooming and daycare! We love Barkefellers Northeast! ?❤️“

“these people are a true blessing! my boy, 3yr male cat, had been throwing up for two days. i consulted with a vet through chewy and a vet at an emergency hospital and they both told me it was okay to monitor from home unless his condition worsened. overnight he seemed worse. in my frantic state of mind i accidentally ubered here instead of the emergency vet. not only were they open on a saturday but they welcomed me and my boy with open arms and allowed us to see the doctor despite not having an appointment. receptionist, nurse, and doctor were all amazing! so much respect to their team for being flexible with my situation and not turning us away!“

“I took my 2 Bichon girls to Feelin-Groovy yesterday based on a good friend's recommendation. To me, a Groomer is like a Doctor or Hairdresser. I get attached and hate to change! But our previous groomer was not working out and it was time to move on. I drove over from Charlotte because I would rather drive than risk taking them to someone who would not be kind to them. When I dropped them off, I was terrified. One of my girls is 14.5 with severe arthritis. The biggest thing I need from a Groomer is a gentle hand with her, but I also want her to look cute. My 3 year old has a beautiful thick coat so I want to keep her in a true Bichon cut. I know I was asking a lot of questions when I dropped them off and I was frantically telling Jaclyn about their quirks and that they will run if they get off leash. I am sure they rolled their eyes when I left. I was a nervous wreck while they were gone. When I picked them up, I was so relieved to not only see how beautiful they looked, but to see them taken care of and in great spirits! They didn't even seem as exhausted as they normally are after grooming! I am so happy with them and so thankful to have found a wonderful Groomer! Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my babies!!!!!“

“This is a great in-home boarding business. Mary has worked with dogs all of her life. Mary also has Daycare, and Grooming. There is now a dog trainer onsite.“

“I’ve trusted Barkefellers West with my giant babies for more than a decade and they never disappoint. They are true animal lovers and it shows. I just brought my new rescue in today for daycare and it was an amazing experience for her. Love this place and the staff for the love and care they always show my dogs.“

“Canines in Action deals not just with dogs! Laura has been so patient helping me with my special-needs cat and his behavioral issues, making sure his comfort and that of my other cat is a top priority during the training process.“
