    I have used Jen's Happy Pets for the last year. I can't say enough about not only Jen, but any and…read moreall of the people I have met who work for her. I've used their service for dog walking for my two dogs while I was at work. They text me a report during each visit and send a picture of my dogs. Karen has been our walker for the last several months and she is a very talented photographer!! Attached are some of the shots she sent me. How nice is it to receive these pictures to brighten my day?? All of the walkers are always concerned about the health and happiness of my 'boys'. On occasion my husband has been home when Karen pulls up and he said the boys bark and are always so excited to see her....her arrival means fun is in store!! I highly recommend Jen and her team! They are not only very reasonably priced, but they are professional, reliable and just plain nice folks!!

    I've been using Jen's Happy Pets pet sitting service for over 3 years now. I highly recommend this…read morebusiness! The sitters always provide the best care for my two cats. All the sitters are screened and background checked, so I feel secure using this service. The service always schedules an initial meet and greet visit before the actual sitting service. The sitters have all been very professional and friendly, as well as respectful of our home. They have provided excellent care for my cats. They take the time to interact with the cats after feeding and cleanup happens. They provide daily feedback on the app via messages and photos. I love that detail! They even bring in my mail and take out the garbage the evening before garbage day, if I request the service. The app makes it extremely easy to create an account with the service, as well as book visits, pay your invoices online and communicate with the team. Everyone is very responsive and helpful. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitting team than Jen's Happy Pets!

We also have her nails clipped while there. Reasonable prices and staff is always friendly. You can also check up on your pup via camera. Our dog won't go in the big pool but a lot of dogs love it.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but other dog owners deserve to know our experience. The purpose…read moreof dog daycare is to provide exercise, socialization, and a safe outlet for a dog's energy. If your dog is young, energetic, and still learning, as most adolescent dogs are, you should know exactly how this facility handled our situation. Our Labrador Retriever attended this daycare intermittently from 5 to 11 months of age. After one isolated incident in which he reacted poorly to another dog's correction due to trying to initiate play, the manager reassured us that this was not a serious behavioral issue, that he was simply still learning to respond to cues from other dogs, and that they were happy to continue working with him. We were never told he was on probation or given any deadline for improvement. Over the next three weeks, he attended only two additional visits. During one, he was injured. The staff present that day, as well as the manager in a follow-up call, all told us that he had done nothing wrong and it was through no fault of his own. During the next visit, I monitored the cameras and watched him be removed from group play within 15 minutes of arrival and brought out only three times for about 10 minutes each over more than five hours. When I asked why, the manager said he had done nothing wrong but they were "trying to get ahead of the problem." In other words, they had already labeled him as a problem before he had done anything wrong that day. Yet when he was eventually allowed to rejoin the group, we were told he played appropriately and without incident. This is what should concern prospective clients: we were explicitly told our dog could continue attending and that they would work with him, but instead he was quietly confined for most of the day without our knowledge. Had I not checked the cameras and called to ask what was happening, I have no reason to believe we would have been told. If a facility has already decided that your dog is too much work, they should communicate that honestly rather than continue accepting your dog and effectively sidelining them. After I raised my concerns, the owner informed me that he was no longer welcome. She then suggested that our dog was responsible for the earlier incident in which he was injured--directly contradicting her own staff and manager and attempting to make him seem like the problem even when those who witnessed the event said he was not at fault. Given that there had been no prior warning that dismissal was being considered, and that this decision came immediately after I questioned how he was being treated, the timing felt retaliatory rather than the result of a thoughtful behavioral assessment. When I told her that I intended to leave an honest review describing our negative experience, she became even more defensive and stated that she would fight it back. Unfortunately, after reading prior reviews describing similarly defensive and retaliatory behavior from ownership, this response did not appear to be an isolated incident. For additional context, prospective clients may wish to read the Yelp review from the Nazareth location dated July 17, 2019, which describes similar behavior from ownership. We also had broader concerns. We encountered 2 of their employees outside of daycare and overheard them saying that they feel overwhelmed and that there are too many dogs for the available staff. Our dog was injured more than once, and in one instance staff said they could not identify which dog caused the injury despite cameras throughout the facility. These issues raise serious concerns about staffing and supervision. We were also concerned by multiple episodes of kennel cough and giardia associated with the facility, and our veterinarian specifically warned us that they had seen numerous dogs become ill after attending this facility. To their credit, we were not charged for the day he spent largely confined. If your dog is a high energy dog or puppy who requires patience and continued development, this daycare may decide that your dog is too much work. In our experience, dogs who need extra attention may be blamed, confined, and dismissed rather than appropriately supported.

    My "Furry Tail Come True" would be if this place was closer to my house in NJ! I bring my 3 year…read moreold Doberman here almost weekly when I visit my parents near Hellertown. He comes back exhausted and happy every time! He is VERY sensitive and doesn't like to be away from us but he loves his friends at Furry Tail! We have never boarded him overnight but I wouldn't hesitate to do it here. I love that you can download the camera app and check in to see what the pups are up to. In the summer they put out all these baby pools and the dogs have the best time ever. Our dog also got his "fall fun" picture taken here and it was freaking hilarious. The ONLY sort of negative (but not really) comment I have is that some days there are a lot of dogs so it can be overwhelming. The outside area is massive so it's never overcrowded but our emo doberman has definitely been a little intimidated going in a few times (don't laugh, we raised him to be in touch with his feelings). He does much better if we get him there earlier when it's less crowded. A Furry Tail Come True: another reason PA is better than NJ.
