Great customer service and communication from the staff and our puppy loves going there. I can tell they pay a lot of attention too because they'll comment on things our dog likes to do that are definitely specific to her, based on our own experiences too.

Reviews
Mirabell spent six days at PPR overnight boarding. We love seeing pictures of her on walks and playing with her “friends.” She comes home happy to see us. PPR takes amazing care of Mirabell. They answer questions very quickly and professionally. I highly recommend boarding your dog at PPR!
The staff was professional, courteous and took great care of our dog. This was the first time we had to board our pup and from the moment we walked in we felt assured our dog was in good hands. Thank you Playful Pups for making the experience a positive one for our Zeus and us as well.
