After a few bad experiences, I finally contacted Retriers & Friends. Best decision I've ever made. They matched me up with Marcie, a 4 year old Chihuahua Mix. That was May 5th. That facility is the most beautiful place and any dog is lucky if they end up there. They are so loving and caring for each animal. It's only been a month and Marcie is my loyal companion. So well behaved and smart. Thank you guys for your wonderful service and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to adopt.

To say that I was extremely anxious to leave my babies (and home) in the hands of someone new for…read morethe very first time is an understatement. Casey Booram with Stay & Play Pet Sitting made my life and my babies' lives so much easier & stress-free For context, my dogs have stayed in a pet boarding in a prior city an hour away from our current residence. We needed to find a new place to watch our babies. I found Melinda (the business-owner) through networking & she got me connected right away with one of her specialists that lived closer to my area. We had our meet & greet meeting, and I could instantly tell that Casey had an amazing heart & had decades years of working with animals to back her up. Casey texted us throughout all the drop-ins (we were gone for a weekend) sent photos of our happy pups, and gave us a very detailed recap of their progress and state of the dogs after each visit. There's no price to put on the peace of mind that Casey was able to provide us and the thoughtful care she put into the time with my fur babies. She went the extra mile when she had no obligation to (staying an extra 30 mins past the scheduled time to earn the trust of my very skeptical, cautious, and anxious Chi). When it comes to pet boarding, it's very difficult to get live status updates + feel secure in how your dogs are doing. Being able to leave them at home and know that all their needs are being met while still being able to enjoy my vacation was a great experience. If you're someone in the area that has ever needed a reliable, experienced, and thoughful pet sitter -- don't hesistate to connect with Stay & Play Pet Sitting.

We purchased our boy, Beans, in December of 2023 and picked him up New Years Day of 2024. Every…read moreaspect of getting him was a 10/10. When I left Brenda a voicemail first reaching out about a pup, she called back within 30 minutes and we chatted for a while. We ended up face timing and meeting the pups virtually. I knew from there that we were going to buy a puppy from her and we set a date to come by a week later. We went to her house to pick from two litters. Brenda was in the middle of a very hectic move but we only had 2 days we could come pick him out before we were out of town for the holidays for 2.5 weeks. She was so accommodating and let us come over late on a Wednesday night to pick out our puppy. We had 2 litters to chose from as two of her female dogs got pregnant when she wasn't expecting it. We got to play with each available pup one on one and take our time with them. She had each litter in their own themed room with music playing. It was like a puppy hotel and so adorable. We probably overstayed our welcome because we were seriously stuck between two dogs and couldn't decide who we wanted. We left telling her that we needed a day to decide and we'd get back to her but it took about 10 minutes in the car for us to decide and from there everything was smooth sailing. We were out of town in Northern California for the holidays for about 3 weeks. She even kept our puppy a week longer without charging us so we could pick him up on New Years Day. She would send us pictures and videos of him so we could see how adorable he was and he was living the life at Brenda's house until we were able to come pick him up. When we went to pick up Beans, we sat with Brenda for about 2 hours. She has a pretty extensive orientation but its nothing too crazy. She really cares about her pups and wants to set them and YOU up for success bringing them home. She gave us a packet with a ton of information from feeding details, what to expect for the first few days, training commands, etc. She also gives you a puppy shopping list that you need to get prior to bringing your dog home (food type, training treats, heartbeat puppy, etc). She really makes it as easy as possible for you and your new baby to adjust to your new life together. When we picked up Beans, she showed us some of the tricks her dog Sonic can do. Sonic is one of the most well trained dogs I've met. It was pretty incredible. We had already signed Beans up for the Basic Board and Stay camp where Beans would go back to Brenda for 2 weeks and then home for 2 weeks 3 times. However, Beans is so smart he completed most of the course in the first week and we were able to get him early. He is been the best addition to our family. We absolutely love him to pieces. He's such a good, healthy, and cuddly boy. We're amazed at how bright he is and we couldn't have been this happy if it weren't for Brenda and her training.

I purchased our golden from( Brenda now her fb says Rachel so who knows what she goes by now) about…read morethree years ago. I put up with ALOT of excuses with her shortly after I had paid her half (over $2k) for our puppy. I ended up having to contact her after time had passed and I hadn't heard about our puppy that was supposed to be born 6 months prior. I got nothing but excuses from her but gave her benefit of the doubt. She tried to sell us a puppy from a litter that was born 4 months prior due to not selling them. I kindly declined as I had put a deposit down for a red one. Months go by and I'm told that she miraculously had a red litter and they were already 3 weeks at this point. During the time of waiting I started seeing things online about her selling puppies that had parvo and other things. All which she denied. I played nice with her for the time being just so I didn't loose my money that I put down and get my golden I had waited a year for. After we finally picked him up he was terrified of her and immediately came to us cowering and would not come to her. I said nothing and thought maybe he just wanted to go home and was a quiet puppy. About a week later we dropped him off overnight for "daycare" that already paid for her and arranged prior to picking him up. The next morning I picked him up and he just looked defeated and noticed something was off. The people she had "working" for her looked like druggies and every time he was next to our puppy he would be terrified. I left shortly after and noticed on my way home the top of his head had a lump. I texted her and asked his he had gotten hit it hit himself and she immediately denied. I took him to the vet two days later and the lump was massive. I ended up having to pay over 1k to have the lump taken care of. Which included meds , a cone and him having a tube through his head to drain for two weeks. When I explained that the vet said it was trauma to his head she came up with the excuse of him hitting his head on the dog training ladder (yet before knew nothing about it) She denied helping with medical bills even though it transpired in her care. Fast forward to about a year later I found out that the father of our golden came from someone else in Washington who had never done breeding with her before. Mind you which was never told to us. I had to reach out to that person only to find out that ALL of his puppies where from the litter that miraculously showed up that's she told me she had already. His dog had zero testing and zero form of akc etc. when I asked Brenda about it she denied of course and said she had a breeding partnership with him. knowing I wasn't going to get a straight answer from her I dropped it. Now starting this year in January he out of the nowhere had a seizure and lost consciousness where I had to administer cpr to get him breathing again. I reached out to her and let her know, thinking she would care but instead I was told nope none of her puppies have ever had seizures that she knew of and that she moved out of the country and couldn't help... I took him to the vet and ran a bunch of tests to find out everything was normal. Now on Thursday he had another seizure... I then, of course, messaged her again to let her know, and instead of showing any form of compassion, asking how he was doing or us I was then told again that she moved out of the country is grieving the loss of her son(which she lost her son over 4 years ago) and is dealing with a lot and can't help me blah blah blah blah blah blah For her to turn around and block me... I reached out on multiple Facebook groups throughout the area, asking if anyone had issues with their puppies only to find out that everybody has had nothing but issues with her, and it has been going on for years that she has been breeding. A old employee of hers contacted me and informed me that she does still own this business And is looking to soon open up her own Maine coon breeding business. I highly advise everyone to stay clear of this woman and whatever business she does. She's extremely manipulative and there is several lawsuits open against her, which explains why she left the country. I pray that nobody else has to go through what we have and are currently dealing with, and I hope that others get justice for what she has done throughout the years.
