    So let me start off by saying I was total skeptical about dropping my son (yes, I call my dog son!!) off here. I was so scared so so scared. The reviews are not good on Yelp. You also can't get to there website from the Yelp app I also want to make it very clear that I only dropped off my son for a 8 hours no overnight stay. I brought my own food and water after reading the other Yelper's review. So I called at 8am sharp and a lady picked up sounded very nice. She was confused about the price for pet seating my son for a few hours. So I called a few other places but no luck. I called this place back and the same lady told me that it would cost $15. 11am to 5:30pm. I had not other choose I caved in hoping and praying for a good stay. I was not disappointed. I went full investigation on this place pulling up. It seems as the owner lives on site in a nice house and large space. I did ask a million questions and had to see exactly where my son would stay. So I went to the cage and made sure it was clean and it was. I went over precisely everything I wanted my dog to do and more importantly what not to do with my son. No doggie hangs out, no taking him out of the cage, no playing with other dog. For his total safety just keep my dog in his cage and let him chill. The spaces they put the dogs in are nice they are somewhat large. The spaces or both indoor and outdoor. So if you looking at my pictures I put up that back "door" allows the dogs to go out side. The outside is part of there cage and is covered with a roof. The sides are just a chainlinked fence. (Wish I got a pic of this) When I picked up my son he was happy to see me. The lady said he didn't eat so that was odd. She also said he drank H20 so that made me feel odd knowing my dog I know he drinks and eats and never one without the other. I also checked him out before leaving. I literally checked him like a vet would do. Took my own brush and flashlight to look at his mouth and body. I did a complete head, body, paws, tail and teeth check. After getting in the car I could see he was hungry so I pulled Of and feed him and he immediately ate and had water.

    Paw injury
    Ashley P.

    I recently moved to the area and tried Tippin Rock Pet Lodge since it was one of the few facilities in the area which had reasonable Sunday hours. First problem was they did not have my reservation scheduled. I was even told by the girl who checked me in that it happens quite frequently. I came to pick up my dog after a weekend away and, upon entering the lobby, was overwhelmed by cat/dog odor. I understand odor is expected in these types of facilities, but as an avid traveler who has had to utilize multiple boarding kennels, this was by far the most unsanitary. The cats are left to roam around the lobby where I also observed clumps of hair and a pile of cat poop literally in the middle of the room. This place obviously isn't cleaned regularly. Once my dog was returned to me and we exited the building she immediately began limping and didn't want to walk on one of her paws. Upon further examination, she had a very inflamed paw which she was constantly licking, amplifying the sore/tenderness (picture has been added to the business listing page). I immediately requested to speak with a manager and thankfully was put in contact within the same day. I asked what had happened and was told they have gravel outside and its common for dogs to get a little pebble in their paw and become irritated. Again, I understand accidents happen but for them not to pay enough attention to (1) notice my dog is limping (2) notice she was excessively licking her paw to the point where it became raw shows me this facility just takes dogs in and pushes them out to make their money. I am disappointed this facility did not take the time to notice there was an issue with my dog. I do not expect constant supervision, however, a kennel facility should be making scheduled rounds to observe each dog being cared for to observe any issues that occur during a pet's visit. Due to this one weekend experience, I will not be returning nor do I recommend this place to anyone.

    We boarded our two dogs here for a long weekend when we went on vacation. This was our first time going here and noticed that the play yard was all gravel and dirt. Kennels were pretty clean and large enough with an outside area for them to go out in. There were no platforms for the dogs to sit on inside the kennel or outside. We brought our own blankets and food. We also noticed that the cats were allowed to roam free which we did not appreciate because our dogs do not get along with them. They were very anxious in the foyer when seeing them. When I told the owner that our dog did not like cats he just laughed it off and did not remove the cat. Also when we made the reservation via phone, for a larger unit so they could board together, they said yes. However, when we got there they said they would not have that unit until the following day because it was full. This was not told to me on the phone. When we picked our dogs up they seemed very anxious and barking which they don't normally do after boarding.They were filthy with dirt all over from the dusty play yard so we went to pet valu and washed them. This is when I noticed my dog licking his leg and limping. He had a bite mark on his front, left leg. I was very upset because I asked the owner if everything was OK with their first day there and he said they were great and no issues. There was missing fur and the wound was oozing pus. Our dogs board at different kennels and are very social. They never have issues with dogs so something is definitely going on here that's making other dogs upset and they are not supervised enough. We will not be returning due to the injury and the owners dishonesty.

    Wound/Bite make to side of face

    ***Warning!!! Our Dog Was Attacked/Traumatized Here*** We left our Black Lab at Tippin Rock a few weeks ago for just two nights while we went out of town for the weekend. When we brought him back home he was clearly traumatized by the experience, filthy, scratching and itching all over, had dierreha for 8 straight days and worst of all had two large deep puncture wounds on the side of his face as if another dog had attacked him and bitten him. His affordable $60 stay resulted in hundreds of dollars in vet bills, medicines and nearly three weeks of recovery. I would be very careful about ever taking your pet here.

    Jewels my happy cat

    I am military and have seen many day cares for animals and this place is the best I have seen. The owner Jim is definitely hands on. He treats the animals like family and was very accommodating. I have six kids and he let them check out the cat area where our kitty was staying. While I was there a lady brought her dog in and her dog was so excited to see Jim. The lady smiled at me and said that her dog likes it better here than at home. I laughed and said my kids probably would say that too.

He…read morealso has some sort of ADHD, which makes it impossible to get him to pay attention, or get his focus on one specific thing like dinner or late night potty trips. He also has a hard time with strangers, so we were resigned to think we would never get away from the house due to his issues. Once we were forced to look into dog-sitting for an event we were required to attend, we realized finding someone to look after him was imperative. After emailing back and forth with Crissy, we set up a time for them to meet at our house, to see how they got along. Carson was his typical shakey, barking self, but Crissy's easygoing nature made his nerves settle down and he eventually took to her quite enthusiastically. Crissy has dog-sat for us on multiple occasions, on day trips and weekend overnights, and every time we returned, we came back to a happy dog, and a safe house. I feel confident leaving our lil guy in her capable hands, and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her to anyone with pets, and especially people with pets who have special needs, are old or injured, or have issues that put them out of the possibility of putting their lil friend in a kennel. Prices are reasonable, with prices by the hour, or by event, such as a one hour visit being $28, or an overnight with a mid day walk being $68. Absolutely worth it, Crissy is talented and wonderful, and will remain with our family for as long as possible.

She rarely saw the cat (no surprise), but knew she was here because the food disappeared. She emailed us progress reports. Everything was perfect when we came home.

I was incorrectly told my dog hadn't been seen in over a year so they could justify charging me for an exam just to get her routine yearly allergy shot. When I proved that wasn't true, they came up with another excuse. Every single visit turns into an attempt to add more unnecessary charges to my bill, even when I've clearly said no.

Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.

When I arrived for her appointment, I read this directly to the staff member/groomer from their website, and she confirmed that my appointment included all as mentioned. We agreed my dog did not need her facial hair trimmed, but I specifically pointed out the overgrown fur on her paw pads to be done and asked if "feet" included that, and she said it did. She said the package was $59, and it was cash or check only -- which would have been useful to know when I booked the appointment. It was a stressful ordeal to get cash from the bank before they closed. The groomer also informed me at that time that although my appt was for noon, it would be 2-3 hours before they would call me to pick her up. (It took 2 hours 45 mins.) When I picked up my pup, the fur on her feet area had not been trimmed at all. Instead, inexplicably, her entire stomach area had been trimmed back (no where near her groin), which was clearly not part of the package. Her toenails had been haphazardly chopped and left jagged, so I had to use a metal nail file to smooth them out when we got home. They also did not trim her right or left dew claws at all. Also, the following day, it became clear that the shop had not expressed her anal glands as advertised, as she leaked from them. (We've been having an issue lately in which her glands are not expressing with her bowel movements, so every two weeks we've had to bring her to the vet to have them manually expressed. We're trying to figure out if it's caused by a food allergy issue. This visit at the groomer was on day 10 since her last vet expression. If the groomer had expressed her glands, she would not have had another episode for at least an additional 10-14 days because it would have taken some time for her glands to fill up again.) Finally, when I picked up my pup, she didn't really seem herself. Almost like she was high, like she had been given something? Perhaps? Normally she hates if I do anything to her toes at all, but when I filed them at home afterward, she just stayed there in a daze. She proceeded to snub me for a whole day. I don't know what she experienced at this shop, but she was not happy, and that's not really normal for her. She's a very sociable, upbeat dog normally. All told, I paid $59, plus $10 tip, for a package that was supposed to include six services, but that in actuality only included 3.5 (half for the jagged toes). I tipped on the spot out of anxiety & self-consciousness. I do have regrets. I gave 2 stars because the bath & dry was well done, and the staff were friendly and polite to me during drop off and pick up. However, I would not return to this groomer or recommend their services.
