OUADT came to the house for an extensive meet-and-greet with the dogs, which included filling out a questionnaire designed to help the sitter learn about each pet and its quirks, medical issues, and habits. While we were away we were provided with daily reports, including photos, via email, of how the dogs were doing. I cannot say enough good things about this service. We will definitely use OUADT again. They offer very reasonable rates and the level of organization and professionalism is very high. Your furkids are in excellent hands with Once Upon a Dog Tail.

My 4 month and 23 day old puppy, Binx, died while in care at DogSports. I'm only able to post…read morelimited information here, but will provide a link below for full documentation regarding his death. Binx had documented crate anxiety. A DogSports employee told our vet office that Binx had been unable to settle himself all day. Binx was there 8 hours that day, had noted crate anxiety, employees were aware he was in distress, and NO ONE CALLED until he has passed away. He was found in his crate dead, with vomit and diarrhea. Other PUBLIC information, the owner of the DogSports, Joanne Reaney, was charged with 35 counts of theft for allegedly embezzling $517k from her employer years ago. I'm not an attorney, but the court of common pleas document looks like an agreement was made for payback to potentially avoid the felony charge/jail time (PA criminal law Rule 586). In addition, more PUBLIC information, there is an open state tax lien on the business and there appears to be more than 10 open civil cases (with monetary judgments of over $100k due). It also appears that the owner lives over an hour away, out of state.

My dog has Lyme disease and he has treated him at different times when my dog had flare ups and was in bad shape shape. My senior cat has kidney failure and I thought for sure he would not have made it a couple of times but the doctor is up to date on all aspects of treatment. The girls that work there are so sweet and personable. They really ad to the experience here. The down side here is the cost. I find them to be very pricey compared to other vets. They are also not flexible with payments. The connection with the old pocket book and reality is lost.

We took him to an emergency vet, and they unblock him kept him overnight and we picked him up the next day we were told to get a consult for a surgery to get his issue resolved, so he could Get relief and have a normal urination! We called several vets that couldn't do a pu surgery or was booked for weeks! Until we called colubia veterinarian clinic!! We called and they said they could do the surgery that day!! We were so happy, so we booked it and was told to be there at Columbia animal hospital no later than 11:30am and surgery would start at 12:00pm Got there and the vet gave my cat 3 injections and said the nurse did not know what she was talking about! This was dr Barlett! We were lied to and charged 346.00 out of our surgery money, for my cat to get blocked 2 days later I called Dr Barlett to let him know our cat is completely blocked again! And the nurse said he's in at 10:00am I will have him call you back when he comes in, well he never called!! I had to rush my cat back to the 24 hour pet emergency and put him through the pain of a manual emptying of his bladder! It was 2:45pm and I call columbia vet again to speak to Dr barlett!, he lied after the nurse said he would call inbetween his appointments but he never did! And he proceeded to tell me he just found out at 2:45 when I called for the 3rd time, but his nurse told him at 10:00am when he came in to work! This man is not the person you would trust to care for your pet! He siezed an opportunity to charge us for a bogus treatment he gave our cat! Instead of doing the surgery they agreed to do @12:00 noon the day I was rushed to have my cat there by 11:30! Just to be told he doesn't need a surgery! Meanwhile he gave him pain meds and sent us on our way! I wouldnt refer this place to anyone! At all They are only in it for a pay day!!!

I felt like my dog was being held hostage the whole time he was being boarded. I barley got any…read moreupdates or photos of my handsome boy. To get any update I had to message her myself most days and send compliments to her to get full responses because I had such a bad gut feeling he wasn't safe. My theory was you get more bees with honey to try and get any information from her about my puppy. The photos I did get he was greasy and looked unhappy. Kat also didn't give my pup his medication everyday as I explained to her. I made everything simple for her I wrote down instructions for medication. For feeding him. For his routine. I sent along his health binder. Along with an itemized list of items I was sending with him. She ended up following none of it and didn't return a few of his items. After saying to her multiple times that I am a helicopter mom she still thought she could deceive me in how many pills I sent for medication for my dog. I counted everything I sent with him. Down to how many cups of food I sent which she didn't even feed him threes cups a day three times a day per my instructions. And she even slipped up when telling me when he ate that she fed him twice a day. My dog hasn't been the same since he got home. His innocence is gone. It looks like he's seen something and isn't himself. I should of known not to leave him with her because when I arrived she told me how she sprays the dogs with a water bottle to behave and stories about how dogs in her care have ate blinds before and her card reader. I will pay whatever price to ensure my animals are care for correctly. I have a high standard of their care and with my first meeting of Kat she seemed to hold that standard stating she only keeps 4 dogs at a time to ensure their care up to par. When I dropped my pup off she told me that she keeps 9 dogs at a time now. I found her to be very deceptive in what she promises and actually does. Due to this disaster I will never ever board my dog ever again. Idk what her and her boyfriend did to him but he's not my bouncy little boy anymore. I'm so worried due to how he is acting that I feel he needs to go to the vet to ensure he is healthy. At least I had a full work up done with blood work and X-rays before he went to Kat to compare to. If you want a high level of care. For those of you like me expecting a high level of care for your dog while you are away I would not recommend this place. This place is the same as a kennel with less medical experience and you'll have to replace everything that you sent with your pup. This is my first experience with a dog boarder but I have an in home cat sitter and she sends me about four paragraphs of information about my cats and about 30 photos per hour she is with them. To get one or two photos and a sentence or nothing per day when you have my pup for 24 hours for 6 days was just mind blowing to me. Don't promise to send updates and not. Actually send the updates. Also I had an AirTag on my pup she claims she took him out for walks but I checked his AirTag every 30 minute to an hour with alerts on if he left her property and didn't get any alerts. Since I wasn't there I can't truly confirm or deny if she took him for walks or to the park like she said she would but by the way he acted when he finally got outside. It seemed he was trapped inside for a while.

She did not send many updates without me asking which I didn't like, but my dog seemed happy there so I let it go. The last time she did not send a single update all day. I texted her and asked how everything was going and she didn't answer for almost an hour and a half, until I texted a second time to make sure everything was okay. She said she didn't see the first text and everything was fine. A couple hours later she sent some photos and then also sent a photo of her blinds that my dog chewed while she was left home alone. I spent a lot of time finding a dog sitter who would be home the whole time and was very clear that was what I was looking for because my dog has separation anxiety. I went back to our past texts to make sure I was clear and multiple times in writing Kat said she or her boyfriend would be home all day during the day. I went back and forth with whether to leave this review but the reason I chose Kat is because she had all 5 star reviews but I wish I would've never left my dog with her. The first text is when we were talking about her dog sitting, and the last is about a month later, on the 3rd time she watched my dog and left her home alone. Between then there was never an indication she was leaving my dog alone. The last is a screenshot from the app that you are supposed to recieve updates on. Not a single update all day, only when I texted and asked. When I confronted her about how upset I was she never once apologized for her wrong doing, just tried to back track and turn it on me. Super disappointing and not someone I would trust to watch my dog again. I would never recommend anyone to leave their dogs in her care.

I am a client of Ducey Dog Walking, and she's fantastic…read more The owner, Courtney Ducey, has a real passion for animals. The first time we met, she sat on the floor, and my pets (a cat and a dog) flocked to her like Snow White...they just love her. She is easy to work with, loves animals, and is wonderful with them. She does both pet sitting as well as dog walking - and she's as great with my old cat as my puppy. The thing that impressed me most was her approach to my puppy, Maggie, who has cancer. Sometimes she has a bad odor by her cancer area, or has bad days, but Courtney is wonderful with her...and so positive. They have fun, go for walks, etc. It's really great to see. Anyway, if you need a pet sitter or dog walking in Lancaster or Lititz, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ducey Dog Walking. She's tech savvy (will text or email as well: duceysdogs@gmail.com) so communication is awesome. Overall, Courtney is great....and for what it's worth, my pets *still* flock to her when they see her. She clearly adores them, and they adore her right back.

I come home and my dogs are stress-free and happy -- they don't even punish me for being gone! Additionally, Courtney is very professional. She is fantastic with communication -- clear, concise, professional, and completely on top of things. My one dog had a veterinary emergency when Courtney was dogsitting, and she let me know about it right away and had the dog at the vet that same day. My other dog has chronic health issues that require daily management, and Courtney handles this with ease. She contacts me with updates while I am away, so I can be assured that the dogs are doing well. I really recommend her to anyone who loves their pets and wants to know they are well cared for while you are away.
