    Heidi's In Home Pet Care

    (2 reviews)

    Bad experience with Heidi's in home pet care. After a long interview that went over our…read moreexpectations and our reluctance to use a typical kennel facility, we felt comfortable that our dog was going to be treated, for the most part, as their own pet. We discussed in length about how our dog is not normally left in a kennel for extended periods of time and we didn't' want that for him. We were told that the business owner would be on vacation and in the middle of moving so she was going to have one of her employees keep our dog at her home (we also met with her several times), We were told that our dog would be in the home with her and kenneled if she had to leave. She even mentioned at one point that our dog would probably sleep with her son (we did not expect that). We were also told that the business owner might be able to pick him up and take him back to her facility after her vacation. We opted to keep him where he was to make it less traumatic for him. When we dropped our pet off, we provided the sitter with instructions for feeding and reiterated our wishes on how the dog would be cared for- limit kennel time, never in the kennel with a collar on, don't keep him in the heat too long.. etc. Our first facetime call to check on him we could not see our dog, and when asked where he was, she said he was in the kennel because she had to rotate dogs in the kennels to keep them safe. We can appreciate and understand that, but we were never told this is what was going to happen. When we did see him, he had his collar on which we explicitly said we did not want because it could get snagged and choke him. We facetimed a couple different times the subsequent days, and I even tried calling at different hours each day and every call except for one he was in the kennel. I would ask if she could take him out so we could see him, and he would go straight to the water bowl and gulp water like he hadn't had any for a while. When this was questioned, we were told he did have water. We have never seen him gulp water the way he did even after a couple mile walk when he is hot and tired. We called the business owner to express our concerns, she asked what we wanted her to do, and I said go get our dog, and she said that is not an option as her facility was not up and running yet. She acted like our concerns were not valid, and said it was a problem that I was facetiming so much, and we are only seeing a snippet of what is happening. While I agree we only see a snippet, when you call at different times and it's always the same thing and he gulps water the way he was, it clearly appears that he is in the kennel way more than we were told. Upon picking our dog, up he was outside in their fenced area and his gums were grey, which is a clear sign of dehydration, and we noticed an injury on his head. The sitter said the cost would be $15 more a day then what was already agreed upon, which was resolved. Once home we also found our dog lost 5 pounds, even though the sitter told us he ate great. We fully understand some dogs will lose some weight under stress, but we weigh him weekly and has consistently put on 2-5 lbs a week and never lost an ounce. We called the business owner the next day and our concerns fell on deaf ears. The business owner was very defensive, and we were basically crazy for expecting what we did. We were told our expectations were too high and ended up hanging up on us. Even if our expectations, were too high, we made them clear during our interview and they still took on the job. Had they said this is how he would be taken care of, we would not have used this facility. We sent a text recapping the conversation and expressing how unhappy we were with the whole situation but have yet to get a response. A little customer service goes a long way, and they didn't do anything to ease our frustration. Let's just give them the benefit of the doubt and say he wasn't kenneled much as we think, I don't understand how he can come back with grey gums from dehydration. This clearly shows he didn't have access to water. When we asked about the injury to his head, the owner stated they were fully aware of that, but nobody bothered to tell us. We still don't know what happened. We do not recommend this business and will never return.

    I highly recommend Heidi's In Home Pet Service. Heidi took care of our German Shepherd while we…read morewere on vacation. Mav tends to be very needy and he did great while we were gone. She took her time getting to know Mav before we left so he would be comfortable with her coming into the house. Heidi even did an emergency wellness visit for us while we were at work. She checked in on Mav in less than 30 minutes and got right back to us to let us know he was ok. Thanks You Very Much Heidi!!

    I was looking to get away for a long weekend without burdening a friend and asking someone to stop…read moreby and feed and walk my dog (Bailey) 3 times a day when my mom had an idea. My mother has had Linda take care of her cat at home for over eight years, whenever my mother is out of town for more than a day. Linda was recommended by a Glastonbury veterinarian and has had a key to mom's house, watered plants, taken in mail and newspapers, lets the cat in and out, and of course feeds him and checks the litter box for a per visit fee. My mom noticed that Linda's website said she now boards some dogs in her home for a daily (or half-day, if that's all you need) rate. My mom got me in touch with Linda who requested I bring my little chihuahua over several days before my trip so that they could meet and I could see the arrangements and make sure I didn't have any concerns or questions left unanswered. Linda has a great big fenced in yard for the dogs to play and exercise in, and lots of crates, gates and blankets so that all you need to provide is food (and treats if you'd like). Everything went well, the three other dogs that were at the house when I arrived (only one lives there) were all let outside so that Bailey could walk in and get comfortable without the distraction of the other dogs wanting to play. I also completed a form while visiting about things such as what kind of food I use, how much food and exercise Bailey gets daily, and who the vet is and if certain vaccines were up to date. I warned that Bailey has refused to eat once or twice when I was gone and Linda said she's dealt with similar situations before and has always found a way to get them to eat, even if it means cooking them eggs (right, she also asked about any food allergies in case it came to that)! Well I went on my trip and got a picture of Bailey texted to me the next day, then another picture her second day there of Bailey stretched out on Linda's lap outside enjoying the fire pit (the same way Bailey lays on my lap nightly on the couch). I texted at one point to make sure Bailey was eating and Linda said she did have to hand-feed her sometimes but she did get her to eat (and she was fed away from the other dogs, in her own space). It was a great experience and I will definitely be using this service again and recommend it for anyone that needs their dog boarded. Also, keep in mind that other places that board dogs (in kennels) are businesses with employees that leave early in the evening and don't return until morning, so there could be 12 (YES TWELVE) consecutive hours that no one is there to let the animals out to relieve themselves, that is not the kind of attention, or lack thereof, the animals receive in Linda's home where people are there throughout the night. Linda and Jack were great and you can tell they truly are animal lovers.

Can't really ask for more than that.

She has picked up our dog, Rey, from Planet Bark, in the evening and dropped off at our home. She is just such a calming presence and my dogs just love her! For holidays, we have come home to find an adorable "themed" kerchief on them, which just brightens our day. She even left a bag of treats for Jake, recently, as he just turned 12. Emily also watched Jake when we went on a cruise, and he did not come home stressed or ill, like if he stays in a kennel. She sent daily videos and/or pictures of him and we felt so comfortable leaving our little man. I am that nervous dog Mom but Emily always makes me feel so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she is dependable, on time, and will always give us a heads up if she has something coming up, so that we can be prepared ahead of time. I can't say enough!!!

    My dog, Lolly, passed away a week after she went in for teeth extractions. My parents had brought…read moreLolly to this vet her whole eight years of life. She received anesthesia at this vet a week before she passed, to have nine teeth removed. Lolly did not respond well to the procedure and vomited the day she had the surgery. Within a day, she had developed a respiratory infection. My mom called the vet on Thursday and they brought Lolly in. She was given pain medicine and an IV. The doctor did not check for aspiration pneumonia, which is what Lolly had. Lolly declined further on Friday and Saturday. My mom called the vet every day and not once did the vet recommend my mom go to the ER, and instead, the vet claimed that this was a side effect of Lolly's teeth removal. My mom brought Lolly to the ER that Sunday. Lolly had developed aspiration pneumonia, which this vet should have caught. Since the vet did not catch this, Lolly had developed sepsis, which upon being admitting to the ER, had turned to sepsis shock. Lolly passed away on Tuesday, a week after she had her teeth extracted. My parents did what they can, they called the vet every day, and the vet assured them that it was the side effect of her surgery. How was I to know to look out for aspiration pneumonia? The vet never told us, however, a simple google search tells me it is a common side effect of anesthesia. I haven't eaten properly for a week, my parents are in so much pain, and it's all because of the negligence of this vet practice. Please do your a pet a favor, and do not bring them to this vet. Lolly was an incredibly healthy, beautiful, sweet dog, and she should never have passed the way she did. If this vet had caught the aspiration pneumonia, or at the very least, told us to bring her to the ER, she would still be alive. Unfortunately, since the vet minimized her condition, she developed sepsis, which proved to be deadly. Lolly's blood is on this vet's hands.
