Mid City Animal House Dog Daycare & Boarding

I was anxious about boarding my 2 pups for their first time, but based on their reaction upon my return, it’s obvious that they really enjoyed their stay! They were happy to see me, but obviously relaxed and not stressed in the least. The reservation process was a breeze, and communication was smooth. We have another reservation upcoming and I feel confident that they’ll be in good hands again.

I can tell that this facility is well run and the staff care about the animals and care for them well. However, I’m giving this review to caution anyone with a particularly anxious dog considering this doggy daycare. They don’t really have the space to let dogs be alone for an adjustment period. My dog has separation anxiety and has done ok at another daycare (in Alabama, unfortunately)— but they had a separate yard for the dogs who needed a bit of space, and several staff— one of whom sat with my dog for a long time until he was calmer. This facility doesn’t really have the capacity for that (they only have one small yard space and two staff when I was there), and I don’t blame them for it, but it might be worth exploring other options if you have a pup who needs an adjustment period! They were understanding about our dog’s anxiety but we had to come get him after only about 15 minutes because they didn’t have the space/capacity to let him be on his own or in a quiet space for long and he became too worked up for them to safely keep him there. Again, reviewing to give information, not to talk down about this place. I’ve worked in a few doggy daycares and understand limits on space and staff! I appreciate the effort they made to make my boy comfortable, it’s just also up to me as a dog owner to find a good fit for my big scared dummy, and caution others with similar pups.

I usually don't write reviews but I have to say that out of the three boarding places I have taken my dog, Winston, I have enjoyed Mid City the most. It's always refreshing to know that the people that work here truly care about your dog. These people at Mid City do!! I am most comfortable taking my dog here and look forward to future boarding visits!

I take my dog here for daycare a few days a week and he is always *so* excited to go. While normally timid around other people, he wags his tail and eagerly rushes in when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's relaxed and clearly well-exercised. Mid City Animal House has multiple enclosures for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Their staff are friendly, responsive, and clearly care about the animals. I'm really grateful to have found this business and I think my dog is too! Be sure to make reservations for daycare or boarding well in advance of holiday weekends. There are packages available for 10 or 20 visits for an overall discount.

Everyone that works here is so incredibly nice, helpful and you can tell they really love their job and enjoy taking care of dogs. The first time I brought our pitbull puppy here I was under a ton of stress because my mom had just had a medical emergency and I had to fly to MI at very last minute notice, I called less than an hour before they closed, I got them the vaccination information from my vet and dropped our puppy off right before close, but the girl I spoke with on the phone (Chelsea, I think?) didn't rush us at all and even mentioned that there was no need to rush because they would be there for a bit anyways closing up. Overall this place is wonderful, and our puppy loves playing with the other dogs!
