This is a long overdue review. I just happened to be scrolling for a specific text and pulled up…read moreold text exchanges with Karen from my days in Atlanta. And realized I owe this fantastic person a review. A very long story short, in 2015 I found myself in temporary housing after a move back to Atlanta to start a new job. It was a very difficult situation with two rescue dogs that suffered from anxiety/separation issues. The day prior my daytime pet arrangements had fallen through. I also had work travel imminent. I was in a panic and massively stressed. The same day I called Karen, she showed up to meet me and the two pups. They took to her immediately, even my ultra scared/shy guy who shivered and shook around people. She confidentially handled them, kindly calmed my anxiety over the situation and had it under control. She could double as a therapist!!! The next day while I was at work all went totally fine with their walk. I even received text photos with details of how it went. The pups were happy, I was relieved of stress and life suddenly became simpler. For simplicity sake I've glossed over a very trying and rough time in life. But for Karen and her team it would not have turned out so well. With a world of gratitude and thanks, I HIGHLY recommend.

They communicate every step of the way (arrival, during, after), they are flexible when I do things like forget to leave the key....Marcy even cleaned up the mess when our puppy had an accident in the house! I have and will continue to recommend PupWalkr to everyone! They are competitively priced and offer the same services as other walkers but their customer service and staff is what sets them apart! Everyone in our complex speaks very highly of them and our baby West LOVES his daily walks! Go ahead and get the 20 pack, you will love it so you may as well save a little money :)

While we were away, she gave us updates the entire time with photos and took our energetic lab on long hikes. Our cat was given lots of head scratches and tummy rubs. We came home to a couple of chilled out, happy healthy babies. It's priceless to be able to depend on Buckhead Paws for a worry free get-away.

We waited two weeks for the service because they had van problems. The groomer did not remove the cat from the carrier. He said he was too aggressive. The same cat that the July groomer said was perfectly behaved. I bought several cat clippers and a Happy Hoody from Amazon and groomed him in our bathroom. I suggest saving money and time by learning to groom your kitties. In my opinion, Pack Leaders are inexperienced cat groomers. In response to the owner, Saladin was sedated before Pack Leaders took him in. The groomer said that he never uses any Happy Hoodies or gloves when working with cats. I strongly believe Pack Leaders should hire experienced cat-only groomers because even a laid-back cat will bite if it is hurt or handled the wrong way. If one groomer had no issues and another had problems, then something is wrong with the business or staff.

By the next day, their symptoms had become worse. I took them to the veterinarian, where they were diagnosed with Kennel Cough. I contacted Frogs to Dogs to inform them of the situation and was told someone would get back to me. Unfortunately, I have not received a phone call, text, or email addressing my concerns. I understand that kennel cough can sometimes occur even in vaccinated dogs and in boarding environments, but I am disappointed by the lack of communication and follow-up after reporting what happened. I expected better customer service and at least a response to discuss my concerns. P.Johnson[ Atlanta G.A]

We sent our dog to Spot for a few months earlier this year when we first moved to Decatur. We were…read moregrateful to have a convenient location right around the corner from my work and the prices seemed fair. My first impression of the place was walking in a being met with an overwhelming smell. We've been to other daycares and know this is not how it should smell. But, we figured our dog sniffs others' butts so maybe smell doesn't really bother her. Second impression was that the staff kinda seemed half-baked half the time but we figured hey, dog people aren't always people-people. We get it. They just seemed like minimal effort kind of people (we literally got a free stay one time because they had already shut the computer off before we picked her up and they didn't feel like turning it back on...we weren't even late). We never got any bad notes about our dog when we picked her up but we started noticing some things that caused a lot of concern and ultimately led us to pull her out. The first was one time when we came to pick her up, we could see her through the window of a small room that shared a wall with the entrance corridor. She was sitting by herself on the concrete floor, up against the glass just waiting for us to get her. There were a few other little dogs in the room (ours is about 45lbs) but there were no humans, no bedding, no toys, and there was mess everywhere. She was just sitting there looking bored to tears. Not ok. The second was another time we came to pick her up and brought her home. We kept smelling a weird smell and when we inspected her when we got home, we found she had dried urine *caked* on her elbow. There is absolutely no telling how long it had been there and no one bothered to clean her?? How dirty is your facility that there are just puddles lying around not being cleaned that our dog laid in? We brought it to their attention the next time we took her in and told them we did not want to see that again. We asked if they knew what happened, but they said they had no clue where it came from. We understand mess happens, it's a place full of animals. But it was very visible on her white arm. The least they could have done was clean it off for her/us. But they didn't even notice? Again, not ok! The final straw came when we picked her up a few times later and saw a puncture wound on her side when we got home. It had been bleeding and didn't look like anything was done to clean it (which is concerning given how dirty this place apparently is). Not to mention, NO ONE reached out to us that there had been an incident or said ANYTHING to us when we picked her up. Why? Because they had NO IDEA it had even happened!! This time we called them directly about it and asked what happened and they said they were completely unaware of a situation. Um, wtf?? So our dog gets punctured and you can't tell us the story? Like I said, half-baked! SO NOT OK!!! We never sent her back after that! We gave them a thousand chances despite our reservations and they just kept proving us right that we should have been hesitant from the start with that bad smell. TLDR: This place is filthy and they do not keep up with your dog. We recommend literally anywhere else! There are plenty of others to choose from in town.

I haven't had the best experience with one of their groomers. The rest of the staff is actually…read morevery nice. I dropped my dog off at 8:30, and was greeted by Nicole another person at the front desk. The groomer, Alarria, hadn't arrived yet. When I dropped him off I asked them to check and see if he was excessively matted in any areas so that I could try to get any of the matting out and also so I knew what to expect. They called the groomer and described what was going on and let me know that she said she could handle it , I even brought them the specific shampoo the groomer recommended for detangling. The groomer texted me at 10 and said " Hey This is Alarria from The Pet Set , So I've examined Hendrix and todays total is going to be $235 . $135 for the bath, services , and haircut . $100 for the dematting process". I said ok sounds good. At 1:30 she texted me letting me know his belly and sides of face needed to be shaven due to matting. I said ok, and said I just want it to look appropriate. I just didn't want it to look bad. At 5:30 I texted and asked if she was still grooming him and she said yes. And then at 6 PM she texted me this "Hey so , After working on getting off all the Matts safety off it took a lot more work than originally expected. I had to get other groomers to help me hold and demat him through the whole service so he wouldn't move and so we were able to get him finished in a timely manner. With that being said today his price would be $285 . Payments today will be made Via Cash , Cashapp , Zelle , and / or Venmo ." I'm not sure what she meant by getting him done in a timely manner because he had been there for 10 hours. And she was trying to charge me and additional $50 on top of the initial $100 dematting fee. She was still working on his face when I arrived and you could tell she was rushing. She also told me that I was going to have to put in work to get the Matts out of his face which but I had agreed to having it shaved down. So she went back and shaved it down. Even after him being there for 10 hours you can tell parts of his cut was rushed. His ears are uneven and the hair around his privates is not cut properly. I expressed my concern with her charging me an additional $50 on top of the fees I already agreed to and she got mad and said I'm always difficult and that she refuses to ever groom my dog again. This was my second time coming. I never got upset and remained calm although her attitude was really bad. They also told me I could only pay via Zelle or cash app directly to Alerria which I thought was weird but I paid the initial agreed upon amount of $235. I think the should have set dematting prices on their website and they should also limit the number of dogs they take at a time so that there isn't such a lengthy wait to get your dog back and they can pay more attention to the details of their work. I would have liked to of spoken with the owner or a manager but maybe after writing this review someone will reach out.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Pet Set. Despite it being recommended and it's high…read morerating on Yelp, I had an anomaly of an experience. We arrived for our 9AM grooming appointment. We were told that typically grooms take 4-5 hour window and we have 1 hour to pick up after the dog is done. Customer service was friendly and really knowledgeable. I got a text at around 11.30AM that my dog was done. He looked fine at first glance at the store but after getting him home we noticed a few things. He has a razor burn near the private area that is still irritated a couple days later. There is a patch of a bald spot towards the back of his private area that (from walking behind him) makes him appear as if he has two butts. Lastly the cut on the face was really close and not carefully done. This is evident in that his eye lashes were also cut and uneven. Unfortunate that we didn't have the same experience as everyone else. I didn't catch the name of the groomer since I heard everyone is pretty good. For reference I have a poodle mix and maybe that's not a common cut here. This review is only for the grooming service. The store front people were really nice and I could see this being a good store otherwise.
