I used Dawg Gone It for years, and looking back, I really wish I had trusted my gut sooner. My dogs…read morewould often come home acting strangely after staying there, but I never had any concrete reason to believe something was wrong, so I continued using them. One thing that always bothered me was the complete lack of cameras. For a premium-priced boarding facility, I believe pet parents should be able to check in on their dogs throughout their stay. Being able to actually see how your dogs are doing shouldn't feel like a luxury when you're paying a premium for their care. Then something happened that completely changed my perspective. I was out walking my dogs, Ollie and Evie, when a woman unexpectedly called out, "Hi Ollie! Hi Evie!" I stopped and asked how she knew them. She told me she had previously worked at Dawg Gone It. Naturally, I started asking her about her experience there and whether the dogs were well cared for. Her response genuinely shocked me. She told me, in no uncertain terms, "Never take your dogs there." I was honestly stunned. I can't speak firsthand to everything that may or may not happen inside the facility, and I'm not going to make accusations I can't personally substantiate. But hearing that from someone who had actually worked there, combined with my dogs' behavior after previous stays and the lack of transparency from not having cameras, was enough for me. I will never board my dogs there again. More than anything, I'm disappointed in myself for not questioning things sooner. Ollie and Evie are my babies, and knowing what I know now, I wish I had made a different choice for them years ago. If you're considering boarding your dogs here, I would strongly encourage you to do your own research and ask a lot of questions before leaving your pets there.

Excellent Dog Care…read more The review is long overdue but wanted to share for others who want to find someone who truly looks after your own furchild. In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.

We are always nervous about leaving our dog with anyone, but I was immediately set at ease when we met Tammy. A Puppies Paradise does not kennel or cage; the dogs really do become a part of Tammy's family. We can tell our little guy loves Puppies Paradise because whenever we walk by the house, he gets excited and wants to go play with his friends! We have used a Puppies Paradise three times. Each time, we feel totally secure leaving our Buster to play with his friends and hang out. Just last month, Buster stayed there for two weeks while my husband and I went to Europe. Tammy emailed us pictures and updates throughout Buster's stay, which made us feel so much lighter and more comfortable during our trip. Thanks, Tammy!

She was abused and then dumped at a shelter where she stayed for about a year before we got her and she's okay around dogs but is shy with people. We wanted an afternoon at the Aquarium--and Melissa's reviews were great, so we reserved time with her. She arranged her schedule to accommodate us and even made time the afternoon before to come by and take our girl for a walk, load her in her car for a short drive and a walk away from us, sent photos, and returned her. When Melissa came to pick up our girl, Abby's tail wagged so fast and her body wiggled. She gave Melissa a hug that she usually reserved for us! While we were at the Aquarium, we got lots of happy, relaxed dog photos and updated. When we met up, to retrieve her, Abby was more interested in sniffing than seeing us--she was exhausted and that happy! I will call Melissa any time we are in Carmel. She's fantastic.
