Don't take our word for it - here's what our clients have to say!


Our dog Branson loves going to At Play with Sparky! He gets to socialize with his buddies and is well cared for by a knowledgeable staff.  We have taken him to play at Sparky’s since August 1, 2003. At Play with Sparky is located close to our home so it is convenient for drop off and pick up for us. We have boarded him for several days at a time. He usually comes home wickedly happy with all the play!  Try it out – it will be good for your dog(s) & for you knowing they are safe & happy!  *Nancy M Byer & Branson

 

Shortly after At Play with Sparky opened, my owner and I came to investigate.  We liked what we saw:  equipment to play on, sand, wading pools and lots of dogs to play with.  Since I live in a condominium, I don’t have a yard.  Going to Sparky’s is such a treat for me; I go 2 or 3 times a week.  I can tell when I’m getting close to Sparky’s; then I start pacing back and forth in my station wagon.  I can’t wait to arrive and start playing.  Everyone at Sparky’s is so friendly and kind to me.  They took extra good care of me when my owner was in a car accident.  I think of Sparky’s as part of my family.  *Rhett “Regal” Beagle and Linda Dudley

 

Rocky has been going to daycare at Sparky's since November of 2003; he loves spending the day there while I'm at work, and gets excited about playing with all his doggie friends. In the morning, after I mention that he's going to Sparky's for the day, his tail starts wagging, and his excitement shows that he cannot wait to go. And I look forward to his warm and playful greeting when I pick him up after work. The owner and staff of At Play With Sparky have earned my deep trust (and admiration) for the way they treat my best friend.  *Greg Dill & Rocky
 

We love knowing that our puppy Delilah is so well cared for when she spends time with her friends At Play with Sparky's.  There’s no doubt how all the staff members genuinely love the dogs!  Delilah is always excited to jump in the car and go spend the day at Sparky’s, and she is always happy when we pick her up.  She is a very social dog, by nature, and spending the day playing and having fun with other dogs and the staff is a wonderful opportunity for her and for our family.  We also feel very lucky to be able to rely on Sparky’s for grooming for our pets, and for overnight stays when necessary.  It makes business travel much easier to know that our dogs are in the care of friends!  *Marianne & Cindy Puechl-Sproul & Delilah & Duncan

 

Brie obviously must love going to daycare at Sparky's because as soon as she walks through the door, she forgets who I am as she rushes to whoever is working that day.  And when I come to pick her up its as if she is saying oh no not now, I think I'll just stay and play some more.  I know for a fact that she loves the daycare's sand box, because she carries most of the sand home with her.  Brie, after daycare sleeps until the next day; so I know she has expended a lot of energy playing with all the other dogs.  Thanks to daycare Brie is a very socialized Rottweiler who loves everyone.  I sometimes thinks Brie likes daycare better than me, but Tara assures me that isn't so.  *Roxann Sizemore & Brie

 

You and your staff have socialized Walker.  He now enjoys being around other people and pets.  Mind you, this didn't happen until he was 7, so you can teach an old dog new tricks.  You may remember that we never spent a night without Walker until we met you and your staff.  Last year, we could not find a pet friendly hotel, so Walker spent the night at your place.  Now, I know that it is possible to go away for a night and know that my dog will have a great time.  We are so thankful that we have a place like Sparky's.  You have the best job!  I love dropping Walker off and picking him up.  I get to see other pets and my dog is happy to see me and I know he had a great time!  Thanks for all that you and your staff do.  *Jennifer Reese & Walker
 

Sakari loves to go to Sparky’s to play, and loves your wonderful staff! She wishes I could play with her all day, but when I can’t, it’s great to have Sparky and the gang there to wear her out. She comes home and sleeps like an angel on her At Sleepy with Sparky bed.  * Libby Riker & Sakari
