    They lost my dog. Took my 2 retrievers and parti Yorkie there when we went to Europe. Somehow my yorkie managed to get out of their yard. The dogs were not supervised while out in the yard. They called my daughter who was there in 10 minutes. When she arrived they were in the house which makes me believe they didn't call my daughter right away. The message on my phone while I was in Europe was " you should go to the animal shelter to see if they have your dog ". I panicked - called them back no answer - found out my little dog was missing from my daughter. I feel it was totally irresponsible to leave the dogs out unsupervised. When we returned from Europe our 2 retrievers when in the yard at twilight unsupervised- they owners were in the house. It has been 2 months and my dog has not been found. I am posting now to hopefully save someone else the pain I have experienced. I am heartbroken.

    The staff are UBER friendly and the diagnosis and treatment that we got for our cat was EXACTLY…read morewhat he needed. The total amount of treatment that he could have received could have been $1400, but the vet (Dr. Marrs) explained very patiently what we could do as a minimum treatment, and only add more if needed. Our cat is doing great now and it doesn't look like we even need more treatment at this point! She completely solved the problem with minimal cost / work. I see this as a mark of professionalism - she really knows her stuff. And I appreciate this. Simple solutions are the best solutions, and she nailed it. Thank you North Fork!!

    I almost never write negative reviews. If you look at my history on Yelp or Google you will see…read morethat when I leave a review it is almost always positive. I am not someone who tries to attack a business online. The only reason I am writing this is because I feel I was genuinely disrespected and wronged, when I simply just wanted some accountability and integrity in return for their miscommunication and failure to produce lab results when they said they would. It is concerning to take a loved one in to find out what might be wrong, trust the clinic to handle it, and then be left hanging for days wondering if something serious is happening and whether they need immediate attention. On November 13 I brought my dog, Buck, to North Fork Vet for a checkup (vomiting in-digested food and red itchy paws) and paid over three hundred dollars for full bloodwork. I was told the results would be ready that night or the next day. No one called. Wanting to be patient and give them time, I didn't call back right away. It wasn't until Tuesday, November 18, that I finally reached out since it had been several days with no updates. I was told a veterinarian would call me soon. No one called. On November 24 I called again and was transferred to Ben, the manager. Instead of solutions he gave me excuses. He said the doctor had personal matters (this is 11 days after the fact) which I completely understand, but that doesn't help me get any closer to answers. I had paid for important tests and still had zero information about my dog's health. This morning, after an already frustrating conversation, Ben called me back. He did not have results. He called only to tell me that the owner of the clinic "tried to call me and left a voicemail." That is where everything fell apart. My voicemail has been full for over two months. I got ahold of AT&T and into my account and opened the call history and there were no incoming calls from the vet on Nov 18th. I didn't have any incoming calls that day only 3 outgoing calls, 1 of them was to NorthFork Vet at 9:23 am (the call that I made to them to try and get an update on the labs). Here's the thing, The clinic has my email on file. If they truly reached a full mailbox, they could have easily emailed results. My phone number has been the same for thirty years, so the claim that a message was left is not true unless they were calling the wrong number. I was frustrated, and I am honest about that. I never yelled, but I was emotional after paying for tests, getting no results, being told different stories each time, and then being blamed for ignoring a voicemail that literally could not have been left. When I tried to express this, Ben said, "I don't know what's wrong with you." That comment to a worried pet owner was unacceptable. He then told me that he would no longer be working with me or my dog. Honestly, once trust is broken I understand that. He said my money would be refunded, which I appreciate. It was truly never about the money, I just wanted to know that Buck didn't have any major complications. What shocked me was that he also said the veterinarian would not be calling me at all anymore and that my dog's lab results would be emailed with no explanation from any doctor. I did finally receive the labs today from North Fork Vet, but now I have to go to a different vet and pay more just to have a professional walk me through the findings. North Fork may have been in business since 1984 and may have a good reputation, but none of that changes what happened to me. I paid for lab work and never received a single call from a veterinarian. I was given conflicting explanations, told things that were not true, blamed for a voicemail that cannot exist, and eventually dismissed entirely. I am writing this so other pet owners know what can happen. No one caring for a pet should feel ignored, blamed or disrespected like this. I wish the clinic the best, but I am extremely disappointed in how I was treated and how this situation was handled. To leave on a positive note, thank you so much for taking care of Buck for the first couple of years. We really had nothing but positive outcomes until recently. We wish things had ended up differently. Dog bless.

    The owner took wonderful care of our doggy…read more I have a Jack Russell who would not do well in an environment with bigger dogs (our little buddy is afraid of big dogs, so he couldn't stay there) but since we live close by, she made the rare exception to come to our house to look after him for the three days we would be out of town. I did visit the boarding facility to determine if my dog would be a good fit, and while my dog was not secure around the bigger doggies, the dogs she had there were so happy and confident, I could tell that she took great care of her own dogs and the dogs in her care. She was wonderfully professional, trustworthy and our dog loved her, she was so very kind to him and looked after our kitties too. She is attentive to detail and caring. I didn't think twice about leaving my house key with her and giving her full access to my home and pets. She will be my go to pet sitter going forward if she is ok with it.

Sigrid has many years of experience, is consciences and caring. Your dogs will get plenty of exercise and love. She takes note of your needs and knows how important a decision boarding your pet is. Her dogs are also very friendly and easygoing. The only downside is that your dog will probably want to stay with her and won't be ready to come home! :)

    Do not use this sitter!…read more A background... I have 2 dogs, 1 is 10 and the other 5 and they've both had great exposure to pet sitters and have always been given EXCELLENT reports. I have also been a certified & insured petsitter and was fooled by Dawn's experience. Play-by-play: I leave the dogs for a long weekend (one 7-8 am and one 8-9pm per day) and get a call at the first visit (a message), at 6:15 pm: "the dogs wont let me in, they're barking, they bent out the screen and I don't know what to do so I'm having my husband come over with tennis rackets so we can get in." This message is left while she is standing RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW (which is knee high), clearly antagonizing the dogs. I return the call within minutes and she answers while STILL STANDING right outside the window! Says, "I really feel bad for your neighbors, I'm not sure what to do but I wanted to tell you." I had told her when I met her that my lab has a big mouth so even though he's a sweetheart, he'll probably bark on every visit. She said, "it's just that I just came from a Germ Shep attack seminar so I know what he (my other dog) is capable of (all while still standing in front of the window). I tell that if she wants, she can get some food in the garage and throw it into the window and speak very nicely to the dogs and they'll calm done. She gets the food while I'm on the phone and doesn't speak to the dogs at all, throws the food in and says, "nope, that wont work, they're not interested". She then says she'll call me back. I'm in the process of cutting my dinner short and DRIVING BACK 9 hrs after I just arrived to my destination and she calls, "the dogs are fine, I just went in with a broom and yelled at them and they listened." I was as nice as I could be bc I wasn't returning for another 3 days but she assured me that the screen was fixed and all was good. Got a text on Sat, "did you forget to fill out the paperwork, or did you forget." Told her I filled it out but didn't leave it bc I forgot. Heard nothing back from her. Came back the screen VERY bent out of shape and all it took was (literally) 2 seconds for me to pop it back into place. (Yep, window was closed so it's not that they popped it out again). I am only writing this review because I was a petsitter and know how easy it is to be an excellent one. If someone is scared of barking dogs or German Shepherds, they should not take them as clients. A good petsitter should also know how to deal with people because they are who writes the check. I just moved to town so I will be researching for another sitter but she is the first one I've had that I wouldn't even consider hiring again. I do feel guilty writing this because this is someone's livelihood but I wouldn't want anyone to experience the worry I had all weekend and the dread (but willingness) to drive 9 hours away, only to possibly have to turn around 2 hrs later and do it again.

    I don't even know where to begin when writing this review about my dog's savior and second mom. I…read morehave a very testy and strong English bulldog named Sebastian. Sebastian is 5 yrs old and has had aggressive tendencies since the day he turned 1. I moved to California 4 years ago and tried whatever I could to tame his "alpha" behavior but eventually it caught up to us, for Sebastian got kicked out of his first daycare for lunging at another person. I and my dog fell into a massive depression because I had nowhere to leave him so he would stay in the crate all day while I was at work. Then an angel fell into my lap named Dawn. I was told that she also specializes in handling aggressive dogs/breeds. I took Sebastian to her place 3 years ago and have never looked back. He was a very challenging dog, but Dawn handled him the way any parent would handle a misguided and uncontrolled child...with intense discipline and persistence. Because of Dawn my dog knows never to misbehave around her, and me. I've learned that misbehaved dogs are reflections of distracted, over forgiving , and especially in my case, first time unknowing owners. Now my dog doesn't move an inch without looking at me first. That is monumental. In addition to this my dog was 15 lbs over weight and would limp, which was bad especially being that he's a big English. With Dawn's country strong attentiveness he has lost all the weight and is so much stronger and doesn't limp. He is happier, infinitely loved , and in an environment that is conducive to his mental and physical longevity. Everyone in my world knows that I trust NOONE with my dog except Dawn. She is my family and the reason the most important creature in my life is healthy, alive, and has not been taken from me for "bad behavior". There are people in this world who connect with animals in a way that only the gods understand and Dawn exemplifies that notion. As for this negative reviewer ... Well whoever Tina is... She made it quite evident in her own rendition of the "story" that she is the one who needs to be trained, because it was quite evident that she has no control or "know how" over her own canines; and I would NEVER leave a pet with her ... SHE seems to be the liability. Dawn has saved my dog , and me, in ways that words can't describe . Gets me emotional . Never worry about your pet when they are with her because there isn't a single person that could do a finer job than her; especially if your dog needs a "Dawn-tervention" like mine did. I recommend her without ANY reservations as if you couldn't tell already ... :).
