Guyton Pet Lodge - Guyton, Georgia

Young Yules

Will be boarding my baby girl this week with them for the first time, as I am picky about who I leave her with. 1st impression has been great so far had a meet and greet, and exploration session. I loved how clean and up kept the facility looked and how large it is. They definitely know that our babies need space to run. Russ really understood my energetic boxer puppy on meet and greet and treated her like I would which I absolutely love. I will post another review after pick up but I'm sure they will aim to please. If they shoot it out of the park I'm sending everyone I know to them.

We LOVE this place! Our Stanley doesn't even look back when we drop him off. They are so helpful, kind and attentive at all times. They are always so easy to work with (even when schedules are tight). Stanley is only excited to come home when we pick him up so he can come home and sleep on the couch for 2 days. He is always so tired from all the attention and play time and we are so grateful for the care that they give him. I'm writing this review as he is snoring like a man next to me on the couch after pick-up lol.

We've been going for about a year now and would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you to Russ + the whole GPL team.

The Pet Lodge is close to my home and makes it great. I wanted to drop the dog off for a day since I had relatives coming to town. The only day we could go on an outing was a Friday or Saturday. I found out the Lodge was closed on Saturday. In 40 years of working with, and training dogs, I never heard of a kennel being closed on a Saturday. Usually, they open, at least a couple of hours for pick up. When I dropped the dog off I was asked a question about food. If you know anything about dogs, sometimes, they will not eat a day or two because the stress of a new environment even if you are with them. They won't starve. When I told the lady at the counter he may not eat, she called him "high maintenance". This told me she does not know much about dogs.
We dropped my dog off late Friday and picked him up at the first chance we could, Sunday between 3:00 and 5:00 pm. He was there for two days and I was charged for three days. By closing one day, it becomes a money maker for the Lodge because you have to leave your dog or cancel all the plans you had. In this business, you have to have workers at the location every day to feed and check on the dogs. The explanation of "I need a day off too," is not a good answer.
I admit, I am old school and just want my dog boarded. He doesn't have to play with other dogs. In fact, I prefer he doesn't in most cases since the people today don't know dog behaviors or can read the behavior before it happens to prevent a fight. Anyway, when I picked my dog up, the young man came into the room and before looking around to see if a dog had come in the door, he let the lead drop and my dog ran into the room right into the face of another dog. Yes, the dogs were fine, but this should never had happened. There could have been a problem. If he kept the lead in his hand, there would never be a problem.
I paid the bill and left. I didn't even see that I was charged three days for my dog being there less than two days. We are new to the area and and having a boarding facility close to home is great. Unfortunately, I question the knowledge of the woman I talked to the first day and the knowledge of the young man who let my dog run free. We will not be going back.

The only place for my girls. The owners are some of the best people I’ve ever met. Great facility also.

Our cranky old pup is always happy to stay here. Says a lot for the great owner and staff.

We boarded one of our high energy dogs for the first time ever for the past 5 days, and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Absolutely loved that they provided a trial day to make sure my pup was comfortable and to make sure she played nicely with the other dogs her size. I picked her up this morning, she was bathed and happy as could be! I highly recommend the Guyton Pet Lodge for boarding and/or play dates, we will definitely be returning clients!

Russ and crew have been caring for my pets for almost 10 years. We drive 35 minutes to utilize his facility and it’s worth it. He has always treated our dogs like they are his own. My dog doesn’t mind going and is always in a good mood when she returns. They are the best!

I am new to the area. And felt very comfortable after meeting the owners and staff. My girls were happy.
