While we visited wineries on vacation in Napa Valley, our 12-yr-old mini poodle stayed with Lorna…read moreand her pups. We dropped Duchess off for 3-4 hours mid-day for each of our 3 days in Napa. From our first phone conversation, Lorna helped me to feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog. Duchess could play, nap, bark, and run about with tiny Fiona and the pugs, and we didn't have to feel guilty or leave her alone in our hotel room. For Animals Sake Resort provided just the sort of doggie day care that we like - where it feels like "home," with lots of love and attention (and NO crates). Lorna is a very intuitive, knowledgeable, compassionate dog-lover, and she made us and our dog feel right at home. The facilities for the dogs are clean, safe, shady, comfortable, and cozy. Lorna's dogs were very easy-going and easily accommodated Duchess in their pack. Every afternoon when we drove up, Duchess was resting contentedly with the other dogs, up on the window-seat cushions enjoying the view of the birds and the yard. We were all happy to have found For Animals Sake Resort on Yelp.

Let me start with the…read morebeginning, I have a mini dachshund, 7 months old, clingy, thinks he's abandoned when left somewhere else, anxious (I'm also very very anxious in leaving him somewhere else). My puppy was boarded one time before Lorna and he didn't eat or drink water all day..So with Lorna was the second experience. Her place is very clean, with a comfy, warm feeling - nothing similar to a regular daycare. Lorna is so so nice and knows a lot about dogs I received texts and updates about Astro, he ate! Drank water and curled up into a bed. Nothing compared to the first experience. Lorna is a dog whisperer and I wish I would have something similar in NJ but that will never happen.. it's obvious Lorna loves dogs and pays a lot of attention to them! Hope to be back soon!

We have Blanca groom our 15-year-old kitty, "Velvet", who was a rescue kitty. We think Velvet is…read morepart Persian since her fur is thick and longer than a short-hair cat. Also, Velvet is a large cat, but Blanca is VERY gentle, handles her well, and does a VERY professional job trimming her fur and giving her a bath. Last visit, Velvet had some mats & tangles in her fur. Blanca trimmed & combed her out beautifully, getting out all the tangles. We love that Blanca comes to the house. She is punctual, thorough, and the pricing is affordable and fair. I will ask her to trim Velvet's claws next visit. We highly recommend Blanca's grooming service.

Definitely not like her. She's been grooming our little pooch for years and does a great job and is always here at the scheduled time. We were mildly concerned at Zoey's last two grooming sessions because Alecia didn't seem her usual relaxed self. Now that we can't contact her we are also worried as another reviewer posted.

First of all - disregard the bad review below and trust me - Sheri is amazing. She cares for my…read moreanimals as if they are her own. Any time I leave town I give her a call. She comes morning and night and takes good care of all of my animals. I have cameras in my home and I know she takes good care and spends time with my babies. It is one last thing I need to worry about when going away. I know they are well taken care of and it's nice to have someone trustworthy to keep an eye on my home. I've referred her to so many friends and family members and they all have nothing but great things to say. If you're leaving town or even need someone to check on your dogs during they day while you're at work - give her a call. You won't regret it. I wouldn't trust my animals with anyone else.

Last November I decided to get a puppy and added Luna a Pug mix to the family fold. I work…read morefull-time and because Luna was only 9 weeks old when I got her I decided to spend the money and hire a pet sitter. I reached out to Sheri at Sheri's Pet Watch, we met in person and she went over all the particulars. I hired her service for a 30-minute visit at $20.00 per visit. This service was going to be 3 days a week in which the 30 minutes would include backyard play (weather permitting) or indoors a refresh of her water and giving Luna her afternoon treat snack. Sheri really began the 3 days a week of pet sitting beginning February 1st, 2021 due to my work schedule changing to working from home due to the Covid Pandemic. In late September 2021 I installed house camera's both inside and out because of the homeless population in my area and theft. The first Wednesday after the cameras were installed and Sheri's visit day, I received a message that there was motion inside the house, I looked and Sheri had just arrived and she took Luna out to the backyard. A minute later I received a motion alert again and Sheri was back inside with Luna, I thought well that's odd, it's a beautiful day and they are back in already. I watched as Sheri sat in a chair giving Luna her treats, then I watched her leave the house. She was there 10 minutes tops. The same thing happened the following day. I can't tell you how disappointed I was that this was happening. My daughter and I spoke and decided this was probably a one off and scheduled Sheri for the following week, keep in mind Sheri had been pet sitting Luna 8 months by now. The following week the routine was the same, she stayed 10 minutes and the following day only 6 minutes. My daughter contacted Sheri about the short visits for the last couple of weeks and told her that her services were no longer needed. Who knows how long this had been going on for, at $20.00 for 10 minutes, that's $120.00 an hour, at 6 minutes it's $200.00 an hour, my kind of money. Sheri said that she had some family issues that were requiring her to cut her visits short, and that all Luna wanted was her treats. I am not buying that story, if you are having family issues that keep you from performing your job, then tell me and let's work out a new payment plan, instead she said nothing and soaked me for a full payment and stayed a third of the time. Luna is a dog, let's not blame the dog for your unethical behavior. I trusted Sheri, and trusted she was abiding by our agreement and fulfilling your 30-minute paid obligation to Luna. It was so sad to see Luna get all excited when Sheri came in just to have her leave 10 minutes later, Luna's little tail was still wagging as she left, made me want to cry. It's amazing what people will do when they think no one is watching. So, in closing, I do not recommend Sheri's Pet Watch as my experience was less that favorable. I feel ripped off and so does Luna.

The dogs didn't listen or come when called and always jumped on people and furniture. After 2 weeks there was an amazing turnaround. She also gave my wife, kids and I a 2.5 hour training session on everything she had covered with the dogs so we could implement it at home. The dogs have been amazing and truly respond to our commands now. She was very reasonably priced, flexible and accomplished more in the 2 weeks than I thought was possible. Highly, highly recommend her!
