Dogs Perfect Life. My bichon, Jake, has been going since he was 7 months -is now 3 years - and dearly loves it. He goes for day care once or twice a week for the play and stimulation of being with the other dogs. I investigated other places, but no where else comes close to the care and attention that he receives here.

I call it "sport camp" when he boards - he comes back strong and buffed from the constant play.

He's happy, I know he's safe, well cared for and given lots of attention. That's perfection.

Skeptics now Believers. We left our precious Havanese with the Hound Lounge for overnight boarding for a week as we traveled East to visit our daughter in college and couldn't take her with. We called and were told she was doing fine but until we returned home and saw her; one never knows. Our dog was very relaxed and in great shape. We knew instantly that she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend the SF Hound Lounge to anyone without any reservations.

Perfect for our somewhat neurotic pooch!. We've tried several doggie day cares, and Hound Lounge is the only doggie daycare that recieved the approval of our two dogs. They love it there! One of our pups is very gentle and sweet but has severe sound phobias and can't be left at home alone for extended periods. We've tried other daycares but had bad experiences with her crying the whole way to center, and she even tried to escape one facility. Then we found Hound Lounge and now everyone is happy. The staff clearly love the dogs and give them alot of attention. Our dogs love going there and we drop them off knowing they're safe, happy and well cared for.

best doggie day care in SF. my portie Hudson LOVES going to the Lounge! The staff treat her with great kindness, and she's always happily tired at the end of the day. I've also boarded her there over several weekends, then ultimate sign of trust. Bring your pooch to the Lounge!

Best of Breed Doggie Day Care. Great owners and staff who know every dog individually. I feel completely secure leaving my 80 lb. baby with them every day, knowing that he'll play and be well taken care of, rather than sitting around all day waiting for a dog walker to show up. Availablility of nail clipping and baths is also great. Nice little perks like remembering my dog's birthday with treats. I couldn't be happier. Real attention paid to each dog's well-being.

Terrific doggie day care. The Hound Lounge is terrific. Ashley and Doug run a great business and hire very caring and diligent staff. They pre-screen all new dogs to insure that they will fit at the Hound Lounge and then provide personal attention to insure that each dog's individual needs are met. I can drive up to the Hound Lounge any time of the day and it is quiet--no dogs barking or howling--just the sound of paws playing. I drive past at least 3 or 4 other doggie day cares on my commute to the Hound Lounge, but feel it is worth going out of my way in order for my dog to have great care and lots of fun while I am at work. My dog has been going to the Hound Lounge for almost 3 years.

SadieChi's 'Other Home'. This a great place for a shy, little dog! Sadie Chihuahua has been going for over two years. She likes it here as much as she can like any place and that's saying something for Ms. Timid. They have a separate small dog area, yay! Professional, clean, safe, fun environment and caring, responsive owners/staff. On-site grooming - it's the best Sadie's ever looked. Plus boarding services (with some prereqs). I love seeing her wiggling her li'l butt when she sees the staff.

Happy place for dogs!. We've been sending our dogs to SF Hound Lounge for the last six months, and they really seem to love it there.

It's clear that all of the staff really love animals and really enjoy their work and my dogs seem really attached to at least 2-3 members of their staff.

Otherwise their facility is heated during winter and airy during summer. Finally their overnight boarding is excellent, one of their staff actaully looked after my dogs at their house, so when I arrived back to pick them up they didn't want to leave!

A Home away from Home. When my dog Jagger first started going to 'The Lounge' he was 3 months old and got to hang out in the 'Small Dog Area'. Being a Swiss Mountain Dog the staff knew that it was only a matter of time before he was one of the bigger dogs in tha facility. They took the time to take Jagger out of the small area and into the big dog area so he could start to get use to hanging with the big guys. Not only was that a thoughtful process but Doug the owner would make videos that he gave me when I picked him up to show me how he was interacting with the big dogs. 8 months later he is now over 100lbs. He use to come to work with me a few days a week but it was clear he liked hanging with the Lounge Staff and chasing his pals through dog houses and barrells more than laying on the couch in my office and listening to me make calls all day.

The staff is thoughtful, caring and responsive to anything that might be affecting my dog. They give report cards on his behaviour and anything that I should be aware or look out for. The Lounge staff are really partners with me in my dogs life. I have also boarded Jagger with them and it is really great to not have to worry about my pup when I am away. I know when he is there he isn't thinking of me, just having a blast.

As for the facility it is set-up properly, it is clean, and everytime I go there dogs are either on their way out for a walk or coming back which is nice to know that they are not inside all day long. I have seen the videos of Jagger rolling around on the floor and never comes home smelling funky....and that is worth a lot when he jumps in bed!

Simply The Best!!!. I recently relocated to the West Coast and was nervous about finding a safe and fun daycare for my dog. My nerves were quickly settled once I met Ashley & Doug, the great owners of this top-notch facility. I appreciated the fact that they wanted to meet my dog to make sure that SF Hound Lounge was the right place for him. The entire staff is friendly and more importantly LOVES dogs! They showed both kindness and patience while Bate got adjusted to living in a new city and it has been such a relief to know that when he is there I needn't worry about him at all. Bate passes out before I pull away from the place so I know he's having a great time. I would feel just as comfortable leaving a child with them (not that they would want that!!!). I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, reliable and immaculate daycare facility.
