Testimonials
My boxer girl absolutely loves Hollywood Hounds! She has a blast every time she is there for daycare or boarding, and is taken well care of. She also had board and train services that helped a lot with her behavior and socialization early on. The staff is very communicative and attentive, and so loving and knowledgable about dogs! I drive from Wisconsin to board here often and am never disappointed.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Hollywood Hounds! I’ve been bringing my two pitties here since January, and I’m continually impressed by Megan and Danny’s vast knowledge of dog behavior, their humane, positive reinforcement training methods, and their excellent communication skills with both dogs and owners.
They are true advocates for rescued dogs, and their empathy paired with professional credentials makes all the difference. They took the time to truly understand and love both of my pups each with very different personalities and they handle them beautifully.
Whenever I’ve made requests for daycare, everything has been done efficiently and effectively. I’m very picky and treat my dogs like children, but I’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in Megan and Danny’s care. I even boarded them once and had a fantastic experience my dogs are on a raw diet with strict feeding schedules, and everything was followed perfectly. Megan kept me updated each day, which really helped ease my nerves.
What I appreciate most is their honesty and no-nonsense approach. They provide thoughtful observations that have helped me better understand and communicate with my dogs. Plus, the daily report cards with photos are such a thoughtful touch! My Charlie can be challenging and they are so wonderful with him! He quite literally cries to go to school! My pups feel loved and safe there!
Megan and Danny are flexible, kind, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. If I could give them 100 stars, I would! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my babies.

Our girl Lulu lives for her days with Megan and Danny at Hollywood Hounds–seriously, we just have to say “ready for school!?” and she’s at the door ready to go!
We signed up for the daycare + training package and could not be happier. Not only is Lulu getting her zoomies out in a safe and social environment, but she’s also becoming a little lady thanks to her amazing trainer. She’s working on leash manners and mastering “place” like a pro.
The team celebrates her wins, and knowing she’s being loved, played with, and learning new skills while we’re at work gives us total peace of mind. We live for her “report card” each day!
Lulu just loves her second home and second family with her Hollywood Hounds pack!
