Pam is also easy to get in contact with while we are away, much more so than previous pet sitters we tried. She sends pictures via text to let us know how our dogs are doing. We had issues with our dogs refusing to go out when friends stopped by to let them out but Pam's kind and gentle way won them over. We also feel that our home is in good hands while we are away. She takes care of things without being intrusive.

I wouldn't recommend dogdayze unfortunately. Staff are Really, Really lethargic & grumpy & frankly…read morelazy. I was hesitant to bring my dog here, especially after reading a particularly horrifying review (see one left by CristinaChee on GoogleReviews 2mo ago! She was Totally Right- and the fact that nothing has changed is Very Alarming). The employees just don't seem to care (other than charging you ridiculous fees for simple tasks that they may or may not actually do, e.g., you will book/pay for a nature walk but they will be slow to (or never) post or send photos of actually doing it, really cranky/bad attitudes when you dare to ask too!). They are seriously THE most unhappy looking bunch of people to work at a doggydaycare, it's pretty shocking and pathetic. No one says hello or greets the dogs in a friendly way- and similar to what Cristina described if something goes wrong, NO ONE will contact you!!! They are surly and defiant (and again LAZY) and will lie to your face, zero apology whatsoever. The woman who claims to be the manager is terrible- not friendly at all, comes across as super grumpy, and is on a power trip, verrrry arrogant. I've asked her to contact me about an issue, no phonecall or email reply at all. As they say, crap flows from above- so once you meet her, you are no longer surprised that her workers are similar to her and really, really bad! I really hope there is someone above her/an owner who can actually effect real positive change/replace her and/or them. It's a shame because the daycare's activities sound good online (what attracted me initially) but they're ill equipped and don't do a good job implementing them- like for a costume day they have no props etc on hand (what dog daycare has no fun props/makes zero effort) and when painting while some dogs might have 3 pawprints on their final artwork, another might have half a print, because again the workers are lazy as all get out. Mind you you're paying like $30 dollars EACH for all of this, walks, lick plates, etc.- the LEAST these jokers could do is complete these BEYOND SIMPLISTIC tasks & take care of our beloved pets while doing so. They seem to think they can get away with the "I seem young so it's okay nowadays to be lazy and attitude-y" - umm, think again? We customers don't have to put up w/ it! And fortunately there are PLENTY of other pet daycares that actually care and don't gouge you price-wise. Try and give a darn and care and DO BETTER. (Please note: owner didn't address any of the issues that were brought up in this just defensive reply sigh, includes one I brought up inperson, fact of the matter is staff/manager did NOT have decency to even reach out to me about problems including damage to item my dog went to daycare with, I specifically asked for someone to ring me, no one did even after 2weeks, that's what I realized I had been hoodwinked- everything mentioned true. There is no point communicating to staff FYI, they again Do Not Respond, so bizarre, never experienced that before- totally unprofessional and not the way ones runs a business. And there are most definitely others w/ similar experiences to mine, again please reference earlier mentioned Google review(s), there is absolutely no defense whatsoever to what happened & clearly no changes have transpired since that horrible experience yikes, no apologies given either, just arrogance and lack of acknowledgement of clear problems, so obviously no fixes set up (if you have a camera at frontdesk, review the footage, the staff are NOT nice, NOT friendly, it is a fact- we humans and animals deserve better.)-take care.

They are ALWAYS excited to see my pups and my grand pups! They are very engaging and greet every dog by their name. Which I find so cute!!! One of my favorite things about Dog Dayze is the themed events such as "Jurassic Bark", "Bark Week" and just last week "Dolly Dayze"! Every aspect of the week centers around the theme.... from the very cool decorations, to treats, to craft projects AND a FREE professional photo of my babies at the end of the week. I can only imagine how much thought and preparation goes into these special events! The General Manager and ALL the staff make it FUN for everyone, dog and human alike! There are some add on enrichment activities BUT those are OPTIONAL. Every dog in daycare participates whether the parent adds on an activity or not! Daycare prices are reasonable, comparable and may even be less - I'm not sure because I am NOT shopping for a new day care! I have no concerns about how they are cared for when they're there. When I pick up my furry babies, they are ALWAYS happy and worn out from playing all day. I would HIGHLY recommend Dog Dayze to ANYONE! Dog Dayze treats my babies like I treat my babies... with kindness, patience and LOVE!

I have regularly used her services and sitters when I had to stay late at work or was gone on the weekend. Recently, I had her sitters for when we were out of state on vacation for a week, and my dogs were spoiled with 4x a day visits. They were great about spreading out the time so that my dogs got attention from 6:30 am until 9:30 pm. I cannot say enough positive about how how attentive the sitters and Robin are to details, and how spoiled my dogs are, now that I'm back! They now are demanding more outside time from me!! They will, also, for no extra charge, water plants and bring in mail. And, Robin texts you photos and updates daily on your pets, while you are away.

When we were back from vacation, I found a log that Robin left me with all the details of what was done and how my cat behaved.

Didn't catch it immediately, but did eventually and it was a pain in the ass to do the refund for the correct prescription. Next gripe has been the "CLOSED ONE HOUR FOR LUNCH" sign on the door two weeks in a row. Thought it was 1955 when I saw this sign last week when stopping in to refill Heartgaurd. Tried calling the office before this lunch hour today and could not get anyone to answer the phone. Thought, this clearly cannot be a continuous thing, what if someone brings an animal in for an emergency, clearly we're not going "Out to lunch" in 2025? Clearly at minimum the clerk remains working and takes lunch separate from the entire staff? Nope. Was greeted with another sign today for "Out to lunch" with a locked building. This is extremely inconvenient and an outdated lunch practice. No longer coming here for my prescriptions. Waste of my time, AGAIN.

They watch after our 3 cats when we are not in town and they never fail to give us daily updates on the services they provided, pictures of the cats and any concerns that have come up. Twice Simply Pets has really gone above and beyond for us - once when I had a family emergency and they did everything they could to fit us in last minute. More recently we were out of the country when our furnace gave out and Kelsie & Josie did everything from turning on our space heaters to finding alternate housing (in case the furnace couldn't be repaired soon). They kept us informed every step of the way and what's more important, did everything to keep our cats safe and comfortable. I feel very comfortable having the staff at Simply Pets watch our cats - from scheduling, to billing to the way they interact with pets, you simply can't ask for more.
