Baxter and Beasley took amazing care of my dog during his two-week stay! The staff was attentive and clearly loves what they do. My pup came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

Truly a life saver. Our puppy Ripley absolutely loves going and I know he’s in trusted hands. You can tell the family runs this business with love care and attention. Couldn’t be happier we decided to go with them for our daycare needs

I have been taking my Leroy to Baxter and Beasley's since he was a puppy. He is always excited to jump out the van and go play at daycare. He's usually pretty tired and ready to relax when I pick him up. We have boarded Leroy here many times. I highly recommended Baxter and Beasley to my family and friends.

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the news that Shelby left us today.
I hope it's okay that I use this forum to tell you, and to thank you.

Shelby was a very big, fierce Rottweiler sentenced to death at a very young age, presumably for being, well, too much of a Rottweiler. Jennifer rescued her [ the first of many, as I recall ]. Mike, honorable and responsible soul that he is, took it upon himself to make sure she was 'safe' for placement before allowing her to be re-homed, given the 'history'. He concluded, correctly, that " She has a good heart " , and, while he was at it, provided her some proper training.

I have never known a better trained dog; Mike is absolutely the best. Almost 8 years with me, never a 'bad dog' moment. She walked the streets of the city off leash every single day, always listening to direction, never running off, never bothering anyone, never once misbehaving. Well, she did scare the hell out of the mailperson once, but that was on the mailperson....

I tell everyone I know that acquires a new dog to go see Mike.

Shelby had a great life. She lived to see her 9th birthday last month, a reasonably long life for a dog of her size. She was always happy and healthy. She knew everybody in the neighborhood, and everybody loved her. Well, except for the squirrels maybe, she did enjoy terrorizing them - even today.

She owed that great life to your good works, and I cannot measure how much she enhanced my life. We thank you.

A great, family run biz that goes the extra mile for their clients and loves dogs more than people, I'd guess.

My puppy Olive loves going here! We do boarding occasionally which includes doggie daycare. She’s always so tired when we get home and they take great care of her when we’re out of town. Mike and Sharon are very personable and friendly. Highly recommend!

I never thought my dog would be able to attend daycare with his aggressive behavior!

I brought my 4 year old, rescued pit mix to Mike for some advanced behavioral training. My dog had not previously been socialized when we rescued him and we have been "dealing" with his dog aggressive behavior for 2+ years. My end goal was to be able to drop my pup off for daycare while I was at work, but I wasn't fully expecting my dog to be able to get over his socialization issues. After a one on one session in training with Mike, I was amazed to find that my previously "dog aggressive" pup needed some extra guidance and I was SHOCKED to see my dog behaving like a good citizen in daycare after one day!

I am extremely impressed with the level of professionalism that Mike has shown throughout the process. I was worried about the other dogs in the daycare, and Mike took extra care to make sure all of the dogs (including mine) were safe and happy throughout the day. Mike kept me up to date with my dogs progress, and provided guidance on even introducing my dog to my relatives dogs when we go visit for vacations. Baxter and Beasley's is now my pups favorite place, he begs to jump in the car every morning to go for a full day of fun.

Added notes:
1. The facility is extremely clean
2. The staff takes extra special individual care of my dog (they knew his name by the end of the first day)
3. The prices are extremely affordable for such high quality care

This is the best daycare/grooming/boarding facility around. The owners and staff really care. My dog has not been happier since he started attending daycare there. They are so good with him! They really care and it shows. Sunny is the groomer and does a fantastic job. They really follow instructions and often offer recommendations. You can see they truly care about the dogs. This is the best place for your pet!
