Wag 'N Paddle

I cannot speak highly enough of Wag 'N Paddle. If you're considering bringing your dog here, let this be your sign that it's the right move. My border Collie had an assisted swim with Crystal and she was incredible with him. It made me emotional! She was able to swim him almost the whole time. He loves to get out and jump in but she was able to keep him swimming and really tuckered him out. He absolutely loved it. The facility is gorgeous and squeaky clean. I have absolutely no reservations about bringing my pup here. Amy was wonderful getting us checked in and checked out. We will be back over and over again.

This review is long overdue. Our pup Griswold has been going to Wag n Paddle since July 2022. Prior to him starting there, we had lost him over the 4th of July for 5 nights and when we found him he was unharmed but scared of a lot of things he was never scared of before. Back then, the staff were so friendly and supportive of him and helped him get over his fears. The staff today are still incredible and Griswold has the best time when he's there! It's by far his favorite place on the planet! Whether he's going for day care or just to chase balls at the park, he is his happiest self when he's at wags! We are grateful for such a fun, safe, and clean place to bring him all year round. He's able to socialize with other pups and burn some energy, which we appreciate a lot! I cannot recommend Wag n Paddle highly enough!!!

We love ALL the services provided by Wag n' Paddle! The indoor dog park is clutch during cold (and too hot) days to take our dog for some play time. It was so fun to watch him learn to swim in the indoor pools. And most importantly, they are the BEST place for daycare/boarding. They give you a report card at the end of each day with photos of what your pup did 🙂 This makes boarding him for a week so much easier getting these daily updates! The owners and staff here are so friendly and we truly feel like our dog is safe and happy when we send him here. We are so thankful for Wag N' Paddle!

Both of our pups love the park! The staff is amazing and when we have had to use daycare or board they have been amazing sending pictures and report cards. We love that there is a screening process prior to entry as we feel it’s a safer place for our pups to play than a public dog park. Our dogs did not like the swim, but staff was super patient with both of them during our session. Recently started using the bath tubs as well. What a life saver! Now when I groom our dogs between professional grooms I don’t have to throw my back out leaning over the tub. We all LOVE Wags!

Our Bailey needs therapy on her back legs, and until we started swimming twice a month, she was hardly able to walk. The staff are thoughtful and flexible. They have a dog park and washing facilities. We focus on the assisted swimming. They also let our hippo aka Loki come for "emotional support" 😆 . A to point to mention is that Bailey is not fully socialized and barks around other dogs, the staff go out of there way to get us in and out without direct interaction with the other pups.

Every person on this team is so very kind - you can tell they love what they do every time I'm there. It's always super clean, and my dog Lucy literally runs to the door to go play. I'm so grateful I've found them to care for Lucy, and that they care so much about what they do. Thank you, Matt and Team! You are truly the best!

We love Wag N Paddle! The indoor dog park is the biggest in the area we have found (we've visited 3 other dog daycare and boarding facilities in Naperville). The staff is so accommodating and friendly. The biggest reasons this place stands out is they have a staff person managing the dog park, the dogs go through a selection process, they have a web-camera available to view the park, the dog park is open for owners to come hang with all the dogs too, and they have a puppy preschool for dogs under 6 months old. Also we can do all booking/reservations on their website portal. The owners and staff are very hands-on and welcoming. Since our puppy was 12 weeks old she came to puppy preschool once a week, and now we have a membership for the dog park, and take her to daycare and boarding as needed. Wag n Paddle has helped us socialize our dog and gives us a place to take her year-around, but especially helpful in the cold winter months. There is a big outside area too, and water station, and a really nice room for grooming/baths. And I haven't even mentioned the 3 indoor heated pools! It's such a treat to have this facility nearby. I cannot recommend enough. There is a waiting list for daycare at the time I wrote this review. Also a plus of taking our dog here for the dog park regularly: we get to know other dogs and their owners, it really feels like a community.
