I would highly recommend Uplifting Paws. Liz and her team are awesome. I have a very anxious dog but needed boarding while my family traveled. To prepare for the boarding and to get my dog more comfortable, we did private training. I learned a lot more than previous private training had offered me. Every time we went to the building, staff were friendly and happy to engage. They knew how anxious my dog was around strangers and really went out of their way to accommodate. The facility is well-maintained and a lot of space for dogs. I received daily updates and pictures. And when my dog had a “breakthrough” I received an excited text from staff. Cannot recommend Uplifting Paws enough.

My dog required two separate vet visits after attending daycare here. Once for kennel cough (something he’s vaccinated for), then for a serious limp he came home with. Neither were brought to my attention by the daycare, and upon calling to see what might’ve happened to his paw, no one returned my call. Needless to say, wouldn’t recommend.

My dog has only been for daycare here once so far, but I could not be more impressed. I had tried another daycare in Lincoln and was disappointed by the lack of transparency about my dog’s day & my dog’s behavior when I picked him up. But Uplifting Paws… man, I’d rate them 100 stars if I could. They added updates to their portal throughout the day, giving me peace of mind knowing that my dog was getting attention & being taken care of. My dog was thrilled to see me at pickup (separation anxiety) but he was also completely calm and content around the employees—not terrified I was going to leave again. They provide information about your dog’s day, and you can just tell that these employees really love the dogs that stay with them & care about their wellbeing. We will definitely be back, and I will be recommending Uplifting Paws to all of my friends!

Came in looking to get my dog into obedience classes, was told that she could be added into the July classes and that I’d be contacted. Weeks go by and nothing. I called five times throughout the week classes were supposed to start and kept being told they’d get in contact with me. DAY OF and still nothing. I live a good distance away and can’t make that drive without knowing if I would get in or not. Told AGAIN that I would be contacted to get into the next class. Another week, and still no contact. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time and money. Will not be coming back.
