I interviewed several doggie daycare businesses in and around San Francisco before selecting SFHoundlounge. None of the others could compare to what these folks offer. On a daily basis they must have an average of 30-40 dogs in thier facility, and yet when you walk in the front door you can't smell dogs! The place is spotless, clean, and plenty of fresh air. They are constantly cleaning, picking up, and disinfecting. You could eat a meal in the middle of the dog play room ( about 5,000 sq ft.) and enjoy it. I'm not kidding ( although you might have noses in your plate ). The staff, some of whom volunteer at the Sf SPCA, all use positive and non aversive techniques in managing the dogs. My dog is so excited when we pull up in front that it's hard for him to wait while I'm getting the leash ready. He's thrilled to be there, and that told me a lot as well. He actually tries to push the glass front door open with his nose to get inside quicker. I love to see that. I feel good leaving him there because I know he's happy. When I pick him up he's so tired from a day of dog-dog play and a walk or two, that he usually sleeps in the car on the way home. I never have a behavior problem on a evening when he's been to the houndlounge. He's just too tired from all the play ! I've also had them board him overnight on occasion. They're the only people I'd trust with that. I never give a second thought to leaving him with SF Houndlounge. They really are amazing people. If you think you can find a better place, at any price, let me know. Thus far, I haven't been able too. Bill
Pros: Clean, great people, friendly
Cons: parking is limited but fine for drop off / pick up
