She is the owner of…read moreShebby's Pet Services and as soon as you meet her, you know she is reliable, will be there to take care of your pet each and every time and most importantly she loves animals! When I was looking for a dog walker/pet services professional, I wanted someone who would love my dog as much as me and my family love him. Well, I joke with Cheryl because my dog loves her more than me! 5 stars. You will be happy Cheryl is taking care of your pets!

I live in Sharon and have 2 dogs and didn't want to board them when my husband and I went away, so…read moreI did some research and met Cheryl, owner of Shebby's Pets, and she was willing to come to my house 4 times a day to let my dogs out/feed them/brush and play with them. Cheryl has now taken care of my dogs for two 1-week vacations, and she has done a great job both times. I immediately felt comfortable with her the moment I met her and trusted her enough to give her complete access to my house and dogs. During our introduction, she took copious notes about all the details. She provided me with references, and everyone I called gave her glowing reviews. When we are gone, she texts me each day to assure me that the dogs are doing fine, and when I return home she has handwritten notes from each day summarizing what went on in my absence. Cheryl also was willing to bring in the mail and put out the barrels on recycling day, which I appreciated. Prior to our return home, she did offer to vacuum up the dog hair in the kitchen area where the dogs stay when we're not home, but I felt bad taking her up on this over-the-top kind offer. The other thing that I really like about Cheryl/Shebby's Pets is that Cheryl is a one-person operation at this point, so she is the ONLY one who comes to take care of the dogs. Other large companies I looked into had several employees who would take turns or shifts with the dogs, and I didn't like the idea of not knowing who was coming into my house.

Just read a review from Katie McLaughlin from Quincy. If you take these reviews seriously, please…read moredo not let 1 NEGATIVE review tarnish the Happy Dog's excellent reputation (22 5 star reviews vs 1 1/2 neg). The circumstances Katie speaks of in regards to the care that Tawny received at Happy Dog is not worthy of such an unfair review. While I disagree with 99% of this review, I DO agree with Katie that she cannot blame Michelle or her staff for Tawny's injury. My dog has been going Happy Dog for daycare/ boarding for almost 4 years and I've never witnessed neglect or mistreatment of any of their clients. Michelle will NOT hesitate to call the client's owner's with questions/concerns as I can attest to. Michelle and Jaime have always had their clients best interest at heart just as if they were their own dogs (Michelle 3 Jamie 1). Katie states that they have only boarded their dogs twice in over a year, their first experience going very well (no review for that visit) for her 3 dogs. Let's not forget a few circumstances of the last visit. First, Tawny is 14 years young. What a wonderful and long life she is having, but let's face it, with age comes periodic incontinence, stiffness, tiredness, and other signs of slowing down, it happens in humans as well, especially with a herniated disc which if the disc is pressing on nerves can cause occasional leakage at times. Could it be that Katie missed some symptoms Tawny may have been experiencing with planning a wedding? Herniated discs can be symptomatic, depending on the severity and the animal's pain tolerance. Perhaps Tawny was in pain for a long period of time, but because of her high tolerance of pain it remained unnoticed by the owners? We all wish that our pets could tell us when they don't feel well so we can fix them, after all they are our family. Happy Dog is a business and rules need to be enforced in order to be successful. Structured play/down times and allotted pick up/drop off times. Michelle does not accept any client that is not a fit for Happy Dog. She is more than willing to work with families to fit their needs, and has always been accessible by text or phone. If Michelle doesn't' answer her phone, it's because she's doing her job or is busy with clients or families. Being over an hour late to drop off/pick up a pet without a phone call/text in this day and age is just rude. Could it be that with Mr. McLaughlin being late to arrive, did not have enough food for the dogs stay, that he may not have noticed any change in Tawny before she was dropped off? To say that Tawny was in a urinated crate for an entire day would NEVER happen! This is NOT the way Happy Dog operates. Perhaps Tawny was upset and depressed that her parents were going away, removing Tawny from her comfort zone, pets do that. Michelle and Jaime may not know Tawny as well as their regular clients but from Katie's review it sounds like Michelle was very a-tuned to Tawny who is considered a "senior" and she made Tawny as comfortable as she possibly could without complete knowledge of Tawny's background. Katie did not anticipate coming back to an ill dog, however the reality of it is that Tawny came to Happy Dog with a pre-existing condition which both the owners and Michelle were not unaware of. With all the animal cruelty abuse plastered in social media, grooming facility and dog daycare facility charged with pet deaths...these are the people and places that need honest reviews so that we can protect our pets. There was absolutely no mention of abuse or mistreatment happening in Katie McLaughlin's review of Happy Dog Pet Resort, although it was mentioned by an 3rd party acquaintance. I'm sure that the McLaughlin's were struggling with the fact that Tawny was in pain for many days prior to her stay Happy Dog Pet Resort and that they just didn't recognize the signs. Happy Dog is a huge facility with several gated yards for the dogs to play in. You can't beat the prices, the owner and staff or the peace of mind knowing that your dog is being loved and well cared for.

We were looking for a doggy daycare due to our dogs isolation anxiety. When we called, happy dog,…read moreit was clear the owner loves dogs and loves what she does. She let us know about nap time and was willing to accommodate anything he needed if he was not able to rest independently. (He did great and Michelle was on top of his need the first day). We were able to get in for an interview/temperament test within a week even around a holiday And once we passed, we able to start right away. The owner is very responsive to any questions or concerns you have. Her staff love the dogs and your furry friend gets a big hello upon arrival. Our pup comes home happy but tired and ready for cuddles and rest. Also, the packages they offer are extremely fair and worth it. Thank you Happy Dog!

Luckily, she had a suite available, which was very fairly priced, so I decided to take a leap of faith and test it out. I am always nervous to board Stan because he has epilepsy and needs medication twice a day. Julie was great about calming my fears and seems as though she has dealt with special needs animals hundreds of times. Not only that, but she also has grooming services available as well. When we picked Stan up at the end of the weekend, he was looking sharp with a lion cut and an American theme bandana! Not only that, but he is generally a nervous cat and he seemed very at ease!

They are the most thoughtful and caring group. I come home to a happy dog, a detailed note about their walk, and even receive cute pictures from their walks each week. Sometimes, they take her on group walks so she can socialize with other dogs. If there is ever an issue (my sweet girl occasionally gets curious about what fragrant things are lurking in the covered trashcan), they text me right away. I know they love my dog just as much as she loves them. I am so happy to have found Theresa and Bark to Basics!
