We purchased a puppy from Mittelwest and our vet pointed out to us at his first visit a couple…read moremonths later that he only had one testicle. This is called unilateral cryptorchidism, where one testicle fails to descend. This means the undescended testicle is up in the belly somewhere and surgery is needed to get it out because there is a high risk of emergency surgery being needed later since it could twist and cause severe pain. Undescended testicles also have a substantially higher risk of cancer. Our vet explained that this is a hereditary condition, and we should notify the breeder because not only can it be passed to male dogs, but the females can also carry the gene. She said that dogs with this genetic defect should absolutely not be bred. After reading more, this seems to be industry consensus. We were shocked when we notified Mittelwest and the response was that they did not really have concern and planned to continue to breed the parents and would not notify anyone who may plan to breed a dog from the litter that they may have an affected dog. We were not planning to breed but the surgery will cost $2,000 and there is more risk to it than standard neutering with longer recovery. This breeder charges top dollar and yet continues to breed and sell dogs with known genetic risks. I strongly suspect they knew this at the time they sold him to us since they would know to inspect a male dog for this and we did not, but I can't know that for sure. Most vets call continuing to breed dogs like this unethical and bad practice. Shame, shame to put unsuspecting new owners through this and still charge them top dollar!

I had so much anxiety before I met Becky because they are both rescues, and I didn't want them to feel we abandoned them. However, Becky came over the week prior to our departure and I could see that they would be in good hands. She stayed overnight while we were gone and took great care of my little fuzz balls. She is certified in CPR, is kind and honest, left our place in tip-top shape, and truly wants to give our pets a good experience. Plus, I was so worn out when I got back in town that I didn't think to call and check in (we arranged that she would watch them through the morning and leave since we would be back in the afternoon.) However, being the responsible sitter that she is, she called me to make sure everything was okay and that we got back at a reasonable time so that she would know if she should come back to feed and walk the dogs. Becky really goes above and beyond. I can't say enough good things about her.

*NOTE* Hello fellow Yelpers. This is my 20th review…read more As you know, my reviews have to be based on things. But for once, I won't mention them. Ok here's my review: I've hired Jenny, to watch my puppy Mia on multiple occasions but now I have the time to (finally) review Jenny on Yelp. She does a stellar job of watching Mia. The first time I used Furry Up, Let's Go, I wasn't sure about it. But when Jenny showed up, I was reassured! I came back to Mia on the couch sleeping, and on the coffee table, a note from Jenny. It read something like this: Dear Mr and Mrs O, I had a great time watching your dog, Mia! She is such a sweet dog! I hope I can see Mia again soon. Mia seemed to like me as I walked her around the block. Have a nice night! Love Jenny I loved that she actually took time to write me and my hubby a note!

I was late to the pandemic dog/puppy party, I started work with a new shop that didn't require me to do the regular run & gun previous shops had me doing, and I finally felt ready to get a new puppy after two years of grieving on the loss of my last girlie. As soon as my new girlie had all her shots, one of the things I wanted to start doing early is getting socialized with as many different dogs as I could with her. Woodstock Canine was the first I visited and the only one that would take her as young as she was at the time. As time went by, she also visited a few other doggie daycare locations, one I avoided will go nameless, but it was a huge deal on Nextdoor about how they treat their four-legged clients and I promptly scratched them off the list. Another doggie daycare was going along great until I had to bolt out of town for a business emergency and let her stay the night at this 'other' location, I had gotten an alert from their staff that she wasn't walking great and was wondering if I could take her to my vet. The vet discovered that whatever the daycare/boarding facility used to clean the place burned a couple of her pads and I was out $900 in vet bills because their staff was probably more interested in Facebook updates than client health. One other scare sealed it for me never taking her there again. Woodstock Canine Clubhouse is exclusively where she goes for daycare and an emergency boarding if I get stuck with something, or I forgot about a party happening and didn't add it to Google Calendar. My girlie starts bouncing around when I make the right turn onto the road where Woodstock Canine Clubhouse is on and as soon as we're parked, she can't wait to get inside and play with her friends with the staff and all her other four-legged friends on the inside. At the end of the day, and as soon as we're barely out of their lot, she's crying that I'm taking her away from her friends, but that doesn't last long as she's fast asleep on the drive home. After dinner at home, she's fast asleep until around midnight when she asks to do her business (and dinner has digested) where she makes her way to the couch, bed, sometimes the crate and is back into a night of sleep only I can dream about having. Don't take my word on this, give your dog a day off and give Woodstock Canine Clubhouse a try, and see if your results mirror mine, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

Thanks Leslie for being there for me when I needed someone special to take care of my big baby.

I want to start this off by saying that when we found Welcome Home we thought that we had hit the…read morejackpot - they seemed like very nice people and they seemed to really care about the pets they care for. We had hired Welcome Home due to the fact that our one yellow lab is now 14 years old and needs extra care when we are not home - more than our previous pet sitter could give him - plus overnight stays - something we have not done until now. Welcome Home knew our requirements and seemed to fit the bill. We met with the Welcome Home owner, Leslie, and the person who would be staying at our house while we were away two separate times before we agreed to sign them up. They met all of our pets, and took copious notes on what was needed and how things run in our household. We had two small trips (less than a week) and then a big trip for 3 weeks coming up at the end of August and Welcome Home agreed to the dates given. The first trip seemed to go well - we were only gone for a few days and when we got home we were very pleased with what we found. The pets seemed happy, there were nice detailed notes left on what happened while we were away, and things were nice and clean. We were scheduled to leave again a week later and felt confident that things went well since we were not told anything otherwise. In fact, in one of the notes, the pet sitter said "she couldn't wait to come back!" The second trip happened, and while we were away, the Chicago area was hit with a once in a lifetime storm and our house lost power for 2.5 of the six days the pet sitter was here. We talked to our pet sitter daily and being it was the middle of summer and the a/c was out we told her that she was welcome to go home at night and come back in the morning to check on the pets - all this while still paying full price for an overnight stay to our home. (We had no problem with this - it was some extraordinary circumstances that were of no one's fault.) When we arrived home, the pet sitter was finishing packing up and we talked with her briefly about how hard the week had been, but she at no time said anything about the pets, just how hot it had been and that having no water was difficult. We agreed and thanked her profusely for her help with our pets during the storm. She left us many pages of nice notes and even offered to help us - for a price - with a BBQ we were having a few weeks later - not going through Welcome Home, of course. A few days later my husband received an email with the final invoice, for the two trips, which he promptly paid. A few days after that we received another email informing us that we were now declined for the next scheduled trip - the large one at the end of summer - basically leaving us high and dry for a trip to Europe in 5 weeks because... our lab was "too hard to take care of" and that we should "call them back when he is no longer here as they enjoyed the rest of the pets! " (In other words, call back when he's dead?!) At no time during the two interviews or the two trips we took or the invoicing process was our elderly lab's care requirements brought to our attention as a problem. He is 14 years old and needs some help getting up sometimes off the hardwood floor and some help going down the one stair out the back door. These requirements were quite clear seeing that this is one of the main reasons we were switching to a new pet service and I think it is bad business practice to now abandon us with no one to take our pets for a trip that has been in the planning for over a year. I guess lifting him up was too hard - although I am half the size of the petsitter and do it daily with no problem - or was it something else? I guess we'll never know. (We offered to go over our dog's care again in case there was something being done wrong and making it harder than it could be, but we were told "Call us when he's gone.") Thanks a bunch, Welcome Home.
