The Village Pup - La Quinta, California

Hands down the best doggy daycare in the valley. I love this place. The staff are always so professional and super friendly. You can tell everyone who works there truly enjoys it. They take such great care of all the dogs. I love the structure and giving the dogs a safe place to play and socialize. It’s also fun to be able to check them out on the pupcams. I always have a piece of mind knowing that I have a safe place to bring my dog whether it’s for daycare or boarding. I highly recommend them. They also have great training programs that will teach you to better understand your dogs needs and give you the confidence to be a pack leader.

Village pup has been a savior of a place for our sweet Archie. They show so much love and concern for their animals and are a very efficient and well run organization. Few places in the desert do this so well. Staff has all been very friendly and create a very familial atmosphere. We take our dog here for both grooming and daycare, he absolutely loves it here and so do we.

It makes me very disappointed to even write this review, But we made Village Pup in LA Quinta our main spot for any dog grooming needs until this last visit we will never visit again and heres the major reason why. First off I originally scheduled a full grooming and when I got there they said I was scheduled for a best bath which I didn't do. Me not wanting to reschedule another three weeks ahead I asked if they can still do the full grooming I originally asked for. To me, they seemed bothered that I even asked that and were trying to talk me out of it. My dog grows a lot of hair so I wanted to do a trim and a deshed of his first layer of his coat. The groomer who also has her own Pyrenees seemed very bothered and annoyed that I wanted to do the full grooming because it would interfere with her break. She comes out and is also trying to talk me out of the grooming and just to do the best bath, I stayed persistent and insisted that they do the full grooming my dog needed it. After some time they agreed but were really annoyed. The groomer noticed we had tried to give him a trim ourselves and said she would try to even it out to which I agreed and said that that would be great. A couple hours later I pick him up and was completely utterly shocked, instead of trimming him they completely shaved him and charged me almost $200 for it. I shouldn't of payed for it but I did and I even TIPPED THE GROOMER WHO RUINED MY DOGS BEAUTIFUL COAT. I will never use this establishment again for the way they treated me and my dog. My dog will never have the same coat again because of the groomer who took her bad day/frustrations out on my dog. Ever since ive brought him home from his "grooming" he hasnt been playful he just sleeps and looks sad like something valuable has been taken from him. If you take your dog here be cautious because they might do it to you too and double charge you both the best bath and the full groom. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD 100 PERCENT!!!!!! Here are some before and afters of my dog. Go at your own risk.

Barklee has been going since he was able to have his supervised play time- he asks me to go - barking and getting his leash until I take him. He sits upright and knows the route he starts crying as we turn the corner as he know he is going and just gets soo excited. I only wish my kids would have acted this way. Would of made life easier for a working mom? u won’t regret it! And know some dogs r just not up for daycare and that’s ok too?

I've been taking my dogs here for years and love it!

Dog safety 5 ?
Friendly environment 5 ?

Honestly, I've not seen any other dog daycare/boarding place that offers as much as the pup. The staff are so kind and love each pup that walks through the doors as their own. They do their best to work as a team to make a fun-filled day for the pack.

2 Very Happy pups. This was our first time here for grooming. The staff treated it just like I was leaving my child for daycare. Very thorough with consents and questionnaires. The staff is so friendly and you can tell they all genuinely love the pups and their job. My babies were nervous it being their first time here but when I picked them up I could tell they were treated well and they left very happy ?. I would give more than 5 stars if it were an option. I highly recommend Village Pup!!!

Since they don’t make it public knowledge on the website, they don’t board dogs who aren’t already part of their day care crew. If you’re from out of town or you don’t want to spend extra cash on day care, don’t bother.
Doesn’t affect me, but they also turn away any pit/mastiff breeds or mixes regardless of temperament.

I LOVE this place because my fur son does. I know he loves it because I get to check in on him on the cameras throughout the day and can see him having a great time. The staff is super friendly and it's always a pleasure interacting with them. Excellent customer service and a safe, fun environment for my pup to socialize. What more could you want?!
