But, Jake stayed in constant communication via text and videos and we could see the progress with each one.

All of the staff are incredible, but Madison, Savannah and Bryce were especially patient and…read moreunderstanding of my dog mom concerns as well as very accommodating of my requests. The reason I sought another facility for my pups is that after 15 years with another in town, my dogs appeared desperate to see me upon my return- not just happy, but unusually eager to leave. Because of this, I was very conscious of their demeanor when I picked them up from Red Fern and was pleased when I saw that while they were very happy to see me, they would have been just as happy to stay another day. That told me all I needed to know about Red Fern! This paired with the daily pictures of my babies having a ball, the report card shining light on their best qualities and my own positive experience with all of the staff made it clear that Red Fern is my pups' new home away from home when I am called out of town. If you are considering a boarding, grooming or training facility in Marion County, look no further than Red Fern Pet Lodge!

She is a high energy puppy, so this helps her burn off some of that energy. She comes home and sleeps good at night. I receive a report card and photos of her from Enrichment Day Care, which I just love. The team there knew Athena the moment we walked through the door after her first stay. While dropping her off, we witnessed many other dogs being dropped off, all just as happy and excited to be there as Athena. That says a lot about the place when the dogs are happy to be there. It's the best thing we could ever do to help Athena socialize and gain the confidence she needs to grow into a well rounded dog.

I came to Ocala from Chicago with a high standard for daycare, training, and boarding needs for my…read morepup. After visiting multiple facilities and even a few individuals to do "meet & greets", we were thrilled to find the best option for all three needs was with the same team - Procyon. This review is focused specifically on the day training program. Mimi attends DAY TRAINING 2x/week. What has she learned? To SIT and WAIT at the door when it's opened instead of charging through it (picture spilling soda on yourself, the leash slipping out of your hand, her running all the way to the street) - she usually even sits without me asking. To sit in the backseat of the car in her carseat. When I brought her to Procyon she wouldn't ride anywhere but my lap - even when I was driving (yea, I know - not safe). If I tried to use the carseat, she would cry the entire time and jump out of the chair. HEEL - her heel when we walk is much improved - she used to pull like a sled dog! She's more comfortable around strangers from field trips they take. PLACE - critical for us when the doorbell rings. (We're still working on doorbell manners!) She's got a solid "high five!" too, which we use often with strangers because she prefers it to them petting her. It's been a great experience thus far, as have the boarding and daycare. I highly recommend Procyon. PS - Mimi is famous for her "resting sad face"!

We were visiting the area with our small dog to go meet the manatees at Three Sisters Springs. Our…read moreday, however, required our small dog to say behind, and since we were staying at a hotel, we were in need of a dog daycare. After researching a handful of the higher rated dog daycare facilities in the area, we found Citrus Pawville and gave them a call. From the moment Amani answered the phone and assisted us with our questions, we were put at ease. We had a unique situation where since we'd be traveling in from out of town, with a demanding timeframe before we'd leave again, we wouldn't be able to do a standard evaluation for our dog prior to her daycare stay. Amani went above and beyond to accommodate our special request for our visit. So, we made our a daycare reservation for our dog and emailed our paperwork ahead. The morning came, and we arrived to check our dog in for her daycare. We were warmly greeted by Antonio, and he assisted us in getting our dog situated. Sydney then came to greet us and was even gracious enough to give us a small tour of where our dog would be staying for her daycare while we were out kayaking with the manatees. Our small dog is a sweet and shy senior with arthritis and some other specific needs, and Antonio assured us she'd be getting more one on one time with their daycare attendant rather than group play. We appreciated these options and the small touches they offered for our senior girl. It really put our minds at ease. They even sent us a report card with two sweet photos of our girl while we were out, and her body language stated to us that she was not in distress and was enjoying her daycare. Thanks to the Citrus Pawville staff, we were able to enjoy our time kayaking with the mantees and was able to rest assured that she was in good and caring hands. When we picked up our girl, she was happy and unchanged (other than a little tired from play, of course). We highly recommend Citrus Pawville if you're looking for a caring daycare for your pet. Thank you to Antonio and the staff at Citrus Pawville for such a positive experience!

My husband and I are very particular about groomers for our fur babies after having a bad…read moreexperience at one place where they drugged our Lab without our knowledge and consent because she was barking in their cage. Needless to say it left a bad taste in our mouth and leary of groomers. After we were dissatisfied with another company we found Citrus Pawville. Our dogs have been going there to get groomed for over five years now and we have never had a complaint about how they groom our babies. In fact, they're extra cautious with our Lab who's now 9 1/2 years old and has arthritis in her back and hips. Their cost for a bath plus nail trim and glands cleaning is extremely reasonable in my opinion. Our little Chiweenie who's a whopping seven pounds gets his bath at home but needs his nails trimmed frequently. He is a nervous little man who shivers and shakes when he gets in the car to go anywhere to get anything done. That being said you can imagine the difficulty of trimming little nails on a shaking little dog but the great thing is Citrus Pawville uses a dremel on their nails! No accidental cutting too short and best of all not traumatic at all to our pets! Today to have both our fur babies nails trimmed cost us $16!! A bargain!! Their staff is super friendly and genuinely happy to see their clients! They love on our dogs like they were theirs which puts us at ease. We trust them and they know that as soon as they're done with our big girl to call us and we will pick her up right away! Best of all Citrus Pawville is only about seven minutes away from our home!! Not only does Citrus Pawville have grooming services, they offer Doggy Daycare and Boarding services for both dogs and cats along with some training classes!! When you walk inside they have a pet boutique on one side. They sell pet food and treats plus a vast array of pet themed novelty items. Of course toys for your fur babies are always available. They are definitely pet friendly and pet focused not only inside their building but outside too!! They have a pet "Waste Station" for their customers next to their private parking lot. It has a dispenser for plastic poo poo bags and a waste receptacle to place those full bags in! I highly recommend Citrus Pawville for your fur babies, I'm sure you will receive the same care and quality that they give to us. I would give 4 1/2 stars if I could!!
