Smudges is the best!! Thor has been going here for almost two years, twice a week for daycare with nothing but happy tails, dragging me to the door to go in. I cannot say enough kind words for the owner and his team- they are just wonderful people, love dogs and are genuinely nice people too. It’s a great way for Thor and me to start a day at drop off, and he’s a well behaved, tired out pup at home after. It was not easy to find the perfect place for him to go, I know that struggle and navigating reviews, but the search for us ended immediately and joyfully with Smudges.

We have been using Smudges dog house for boarding and daycare for our dog Zelda for months. The staff are amazing and even recognize my car when I pull in to pick her up, and will already have her ready for me. They remembered that she has a sensitive stomach and gave us treats and recipes that they use on their own dogs with sensitive stomachs. Every day my dog is in daycare she comes home absolutely exhausted from playing and will wait by the door the next morning in anticipation to go back. Going to Smudges dog house has also greatly improved her anxiety around people and other dogs. Ever since we started using their daycare, I have seen a complete 180 in my dogs friendliness to strangers. Smudge’s is a place that I will build my commute and schedule around just so my dog can continue going.

Oliver has been a regular at Smudge since he was 4 months old and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rob and his team. I have no doubt Oliver has a great time at daycare and when I’ve boarded him. They treat us like family and that is worth every penny!

We take our pug here 2x a week and he loves it. Staff are super friendly. Doug the pug! From Doug - My parents work so it gives me great exercise so I'm not sitting at home all the time. They let me and my friends out and or I can stay in. I even have my own bed from home. Check out my Instagram at #Dougthesilverpug.

Our dog came back to us with a puncture wound on her jawline after a one night stay. So much for no aggressive dogs?I tried doing things correctly by letting her stay for a few hours before the overnight boarding as they suggested. The only feedback they gave me was that she's nervous (6 month old) but that it would be fine for the overnight stay.Then the day comes when we have to drop her off. We ask if they can send pictures or any updates in general and they agree to. We weren't ever shown the area she stays in really, just get to see it on the monitors. Its sort of a black box once you give them your dog until you pick them up. Anyway, we get her back the next day after not having received any pictures or updates. We ask how she did, "oh she was ok but nervous".. Well ok.. thanks I guess. No suggestions for next time or specifics on what happened.Then the next day I notice what I assumed was dried drool on her jaw, but it turns out it was dried blood and a sizeable puncture wound. No mention about it from them at all. They either didn't notice (bad) or noticed and didn't tell us (worse).The grooming and washing seems to be this places forte, with the boarding more of a side gig. I'd say if you want somewhere to put your dog for a few hours then ok, but overnight seems like more of a gamble. Good luck.

BEST GROOMER!!! I have a very fluffy Husky and have taken him lots of places to get groomed… Smudge’s exceeded all of my expectations and were without a doubt the best experience we have ever had. He looked amazing, and smelled even better! The scent lasted months after his groom— even my other dogs started to smell better! I honestly cannot wait to take him back again!

I’ve known Rob (the owner) and his team for decades. Been taking my four dogs here since the beginning and would never consider taking them anywhere else. All of the services are very affordable with the upmost care taken for your pups. Staff is wonderful too which is always a plus! Definitely recommend! ?

Love this place! Close to my house and my dogs are treated well. Staff is friendly and they care about my dogs. Love that the kennels are big enough for a dog crate so my boys can snuggle together with something from home. My go to doggy daycare!

I could not say enough good things about Smudge’s dog house. My baby girl, Luna, has a lot of anxiety. And she is now anxious about returning BACK to daycare every morning. She loves the staff. The staff loves the dogs. And Rob is really the best. I know that my girl is in good hands when she is here. Thank you for being Luna’s second home.

We have taken our dog here twice for boarding. She has enjoyed it each time and came back clean and happy. The people who work here seem to really love the dogs and take good care of them.

I've been taking my dog here for a few years. Love the service, the atmosphere and then and out 20 minutes. Never have had to wait one day. I'll remember to bring in my punch cards and I'll get a free wash but it's mine and my dogs every 2 to 3 weeks place to go

Took my dog for a self wash. Paid 18.50 and when I paid, the machine asks for a tip. This whole tip for everything fad has to stop. I bathed him myself. Why a tip? What are people supposed to do when the girl behind the counter is looking right at you, waiting while you pay? Tips are for employees with tip wages. Tips are for people who provide a service. SMH

Great place, always super clean. Owner is very friendly and treats you and your dog like family. They supply everything you need to get your fur baby clean and smelling good. I think washing your dod in the bed of a truck is a really cool idea.

Olaf had so much fun playing at Smudge's Dog House! He was well taken care of, not too stressed away from home, made lots of new friends, and didn't even smell like he'd playing at a doggie daycare. Since so my pups get washed up here, Olaf was as fresh as ever when he came home. He's looking forward to my next trip so he can play again.
