Nachy is usually terrified when I take him to get groomed, but but with Reuben he was happy and relaxed before, during, and after his beauty session. We are both very happy with his new 'do! The store is well appointed with a cultivated selection of pet accessories, toys, and treats (treat samples too!). The owner John is very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend Pet Parents.

A Nightmare You Don't Want to Subject Your Beloved Pet To…read more I've never been so furious in writing a review. If you love your cat, do not--DO NOT--bring them here. Our cat came back looking as though he'd been through a horror show, and we are livid. Bruises All Over from "Gentle Grooming" (we have pictures) Our cat was a long hair that we asked to have their fur taken down to that of a short hair cat. What was unforgivable were the purple, fingerprint-shaped bruises scattered across his body. When we first saw those marks, we were horrified and confused: bruises? How could regular grooming leave deep purple handprints on our pet? We immediately took him to the vet, who confirmed they were bruises--plain and simple. This was not a sleepy "heavier-handed" brushing; these were bruises from someone handling him roughly enough to leave real-live finger marks. Cuts, Cuts, and More Cuts If bruises weren't appalling enough, the groomer also managed to slice our cat multiple times with her clippers or scissors. These weren't tiny nicks; we could plainly see irritated, bleeding slashes in his skin where she obviously rushed or mishandled the tools. We've taken our cat to other groomers before--no one else in their right mind inflicts this kind of damage on a healthy, cooperative animal. Our Once-Happy Cat Was a Panicked, Hissing Mess Our normally sweet, affectionate cat came home terrified, his personality completely altered. He hissed at us--his own family--cowered in corners, and spent hours hiding under furniture, trembling. He refused to engage with any of his favorite toys or treats. He was in a full panic. Whatever "technique" this groomer used traumatized him beyond belief. Quite frankly, it felt like we picked up a stranger from the shop--an anxious, broken version of the cat we dropped off that morning. Pushing an Unreasonable Subscription Plan Instead of acknowledging their horrific performance, the groomer had the gall to pitch us a subscription plan--a monthly grooming plan--for an outrageous fee. They tried to convince us that our cat "needed" this routine maintenance. Are you kidding? After the physical and emotional trauma their so-called "service" inflicted, the last thing we want is to trust them near our cat again. This pushy upsell felt downright predatory: gouging a raw deal to "maintain" a pet they'd already harmed. Final Verdict: Avoid This Place at All Costs If you love your animal, do not, under any circumstances, take them here. I'm seething that we even gave them a chance. Every parent of a cat knows that trust and safety come first. This groomer not only violated that trust but injured our cat both physically and mentally. They clearly lack basic compassion, competence, or respect for the creatures they claim to care for. Save yourself--and your pet--from this horror. Take your cat to a groomer who actually cares about--and knows how to handle--animals safely. Our experience here was nothing short of negligence bordering on cruelty. We're deeply angry, heartbroken for our cat, and will never forgive the damage they inflicted.

I have been a customer of Milo's Doggy Daycare for over 4 years and I am completely satisfied with…read morethe service that Dorian provides. He provides text updates after every walk and he tries to accommodate any last minute changes to my schedule (either adding or deleting a walk for the week). He's also boarded my dogs several times because I feel completely comfortable with him and the relationship that he has with my dogs. He's very patient with my dogs, especially my little Chihuahua, who doesn't like anyone in the house but me. Anyway, I would highly recommend that you give Dorian a try if you are in need of a reliable dog walker or dog boarding.

We've also appreciated how easy he is to reach and schedule walks. We're really happy we've found him!

When we called, Jake answered and was incredibly nice and helpful. Since then we have used them multiple times and anytime I've needed anything, Jake has always responded within minutes, and has always been absolutely wonderful about accommodating any and all of our needs. They are also great and incredibly reassuring with over-worried-dog-moms, who every once in awhile to check in and make sure everything is alright. Which I find incredibly comforting. Every pet sitter we have had has been great with the dogs, which is saying a lot, since one of my dogs, in particular, is scared of everyone. They leave detailed notes about the walk, the activity, and the mood of the dogs. I could not recommend Capital Petsitters more.

We've been using Wanderpups for cat-sitting for over 2 years and if I could give more than 5 stars,…read moreI would! Just a few of the reasons include: a) Easy booking through an online portal, which also allows you to create a detailed profile for your pet including info such as feeding schedules, medications, temperament, etc. b) Reasonable pricing. c) Excellent customer service and responsiveness to questions, schedule change requests, etc. d) Detailed updates after each cat-sit visit including photos. But the thing that really sets Wanderpups apart is the amazing care from their team of dedicated pet-sitters. Our cat is not the most cuddly or affectionate guy. He's wary of strangers. But we have been lucky enough to have a handful of repeat sitters, and each one has gone above and beyond to make friends and gain his trust. It has been amazing to see how much he has come out of his shell. Now, instead of hiding under the bed when they visit, he comes out to greet them, allows them to pet him, and gives them lots of headbutts (basically cat-speak for "I love you, you're my friend"). Wholeheartedly recommend!

(I recently moved out of the area and was quite sad to leave them!) Both Jackie and Nancy were a dream to work for, largely because they are very effective at keeping their business functioning optimally, in every way. Every interaction I have with them is pleasant, smooth, and successful - whether it is to work on scheduling, or to handle a challenge with a dog. With their positive attitude every challenge was always easily resolved. DogOn Fitness is a company that consists of animal lovers. Every handler and trainer I've worked with there is very passionate about animals, and I've always seen that the animals are treated with the utmost care, respect, and concern. Sometimes we deal with a dog's difficult behavioral issues, and when the solution is not immediately apparent, we will have an ongoing discussion amongst every person responsible for that dog's care, where we share our stories and strategies and bounce ideas off of each other until we find something that works. For example, I worked with a large dog who would just decide to sit down and not cooperate during walks. Of course the dog would eventually have to make her way home, and us handlers have a schedule to keep, so this poses quite a problem. Ideally we did not want to use any force, like pulling on her leash to get her up. A few of us worked together and found a wonderful solution - playing with a tennis ball will get her going again! I was so relieved to have such caring support during a challenge. In such circumstances I fear that many people may not bother and would just do something like pulling on the leash until she gets up - instead of working to find a way that causes no distress to the dog. They have open and active communication that makes it very easy to successfully solve problems, so I really didn't see problems slip! And thus, my entire experience there was quite wonderful and all and all I can't speak highly enough of Nancy, Jackie, and all of DogOn Fitness!
