Our pup Marley has been going to K9 Coach for daycare and boarding for about a year now. We could not be happier with K9! Pick up and drop off are quick and easy, the staff is AMAZING (we love you, Justin!), and it’s Marley’s favorite place in the world!

–Jen A | Parent of Marley

Our pets have been vacationing at K-9 for 9 years, since they were puppies. The staff at K-9 are wonderful, and I rest easy knowing they are receiving great care.

–Sierra N

Ms. GG stays there daily and they treat her great. I would recommend K-9 to anyone looks for either playcare or overnight stays.

–William | Parent of Ms. GG

We’ve been using K9 coach for years, for boarding and daycare. The care that they give each dog is fantastic.

–Sara W

We have been taking our dog Thor to K-9 Coach for 3.5 years. K-9 is a well run operation with a fantastic staff. We use daycare and boarding and would highly recommend K-9. When we walk in everyone greets us with a smile

–Jennifer M

Very high marks to Justin, Jamie and Kelly for their highly professional handling of the recent overnight stay of our two dogs. These three staff members were so very helpful to us in handling every aspect of this first boarding experience for Lego and Tuna our two dogs. We are very appreciative of the thoroughness and caring attitude of each of these staffers. Now we feel so comfortable arranging for future overnight stays for our dogs at K-9 Coach.

–Kevin C | Parent of Lego and Tuna

We have been using K-9 Coach Daycare and Boarding for about a year now and the facility and the staff are the best we have ever experienced. Our pup Ruger can’t get out of the car fast enough to play with his buddies at K-9.

–Tamela M | Parent of Ruger

We have been utilizing K-9 Coach for over 7 years, typically for boarding and grooming and on a weekly basis. My four dogs are treated like royalty. The entire staff is caring, competent and client service oriented.

–Rayandra S

The one-on-one personal training was amazing. The coach spent so much time with our pup “Jersie”, and the results were amazing. Our pup was a completely different dog afterwards.

–Paige & Frank | Parents of Jersie

“The best thing about K-9 Coach is that they care! We know that we can always contact Amber if we have any questions or concerns and she, and the rest of the staff, are always willing to help.

THANK YOU K-9 COACH! You guys made us a very happy family!!!”
