Out of more than 3,000 customer reviews, we have a 4.9 star overall rating! Here are some of the reasons why people are raving that Hounds Lounge is the best dog daycare.
Spacious and Safe Play areas
- “I was impressed by the facility when I toured it last week. The play yards are large, and they have a space that is climate controlled, as well as a space that is in the sun! My 3 dogs have very different personalities, and the staff were able to wrangle my 5 month old and give my 4 year old all the love and action she needed.”
- “The staff are AMAZING at monitoring dogs and assessing their play style to prevent mishaps. My dog was exhausted when he got home, and that means he had FUN. Hounds Lounge is pawsome!!!”
Our indoor/outdoor, off-leash play areas are pawfect for letting your pooch socialize, exercise and get some mental stimulation. Each location’s play yard is at least 5,000 sq. ft., and woofs are divided into play groups based on size and temperament. Vaccine, health and age requirements are enforced for group play.

Experienced and Caring Staff, On-Site 24/7
- “Before my pup’s first day, they let me tour the facility and answered all of my questions. Then, our first day experience was great! The staff were so nice and inviting, and they were excited to meet Lily. When I picked her up, she was super happy, and they gave me a cute little report card with how they think she felt, who she played with, and how she interacted with the staff and other pups. There was no charge for the first day as it’s meant to be a trial to see how the pup will fit in and react. We will absolutely be taking her back!”
- “I absolutely love taking my dogs to Hounds Lounge. Whether it’s for daycare or boarding I know that they will be well taken care of by all of the employees. They love my dogs almost as much as I do. When I lost my senior dog they were amazing and sent me flowers. I would highly recommend [them] to anyone.”
- “The staff at WLR isn’t just friendly, they’re more like family!!!!! They are very caring, kind, compassionate, and most of all genuine!!!!!!! I trust them to care for my dog over my own family. This isn’t true of just myself, I’ve witnessed how they interact with other dogs and their owners as well. Other facilities can’t begin to measure up to the level of dedication and care given at WLR Hounds Lounge.”
We’re the best dog daycare because we have the best staff! Our professional pack is CPR and Pet First Aid certified, as well as trained to recognize dog body language. They love pooches so much, they are more than willing to sleep on-site so that our overnight guests are monitored 24/7.
Clean and Comfortable Accommodations
- “This place is fantastic!! Great staff, sparkling clean, awesome prices, you can tell they truly care! My pup had a great time and took a nice long nap when we got home!”
- “It was literally spotless clean. And smelled good! Fayetteville Hounds Lounge has got it going on. I can’t wait for our boys to visit again!”
- “The cleanest place we have ever been to! They are so patient and kind to my old girl with separation anxiety! They treat my dog better than I have ever been treated at a hospital.”
Dogs and messiness go paw-in-paw, but, at Hounds Lounge, we have a top-notch cleaning regimen! We use hospital-grade cleaning products that are safe for both humans and animals and have FDA approval to kill all diseases. We wipe all walls and doors in the facility and mop all floors. Additionally, we power wash all of our indoor and outdoor play yards nightly with dog-safe chemicals.
At the end of each day, we rigorously fog the facility to sanitize any dust or dirt that may be floating in the air and we sanitize all of our stainless steel bowls. To take it to the next level, we also change our air filters weekly to ensure clean air flow throughout the facility to combat any airborne yuckies.
As the best dog daycare, our guests are guaranteed a clean place to play, fresh water to drink and a cozy spot to take a nap.
Convenience
- “The Hounds Lounge at Riverdale is hands down the best! It’s the only place I leave my dogs because they truly put the animals first. I left one of my dogs with them recently for what was supposed to be a day visit while I was out of town. When an emergency came up and I realized I wouldn’t be back in time to get him, I called and they agreed to keep him overnight, even though it was last minute…If you haven’t been there, one visit will convince you that it is the best place for your dogs to play and make new friends!”
- “The staff is absolutely amazing. Our boys are taken care of and had a blast! It is always so easy to get information, upload records, and just a joy, honestly!”
- “Take our pup here weekly and she jumps in the car when we say she’s going to the Lounge! Super easy location and hours make it a no-brainer for weekly playdates.”
