However, she STOLE from us including money, antiques, even pieces of our Christmas china and other personal things. Do NOT invite this person into your home.

Lynda loves pets...and it shows in the level of care she gives to our fur babies! I called several…read morelocal pet sitters before deciding to meet Lynda at our home to continue our interview and introduce her to our five fur babies. (We have a mix of large, medium and small dogs, plus one very old cat.) Each of them has a "story" which Lynda was very interested in learning in order to accommodate their individual needs. She quickly earned the trust of our Border Collie rescue (Jack) - no easy feat; and she has been careful with our Aussie (Charley) who is nursing a torn ACL. Whether we just need her for potty breaks, play time or walks; or if we need her for one day or a week, she has always been available to care for our pets. Most importantly, my husband and I are confident she cares about them and understands their needs. After each visit she leaves a detailed report about their activities. We LOVE reading the daily recap of her visits with our boys! I've recommended Lynda to several people and confidently recommend her to you if you want someone who holds a special place in their hearts for furry family members.

I hired Casey for a few overnight stays while I was out of town on business. In between the time I left for the airport and Casey was supposed to arrive, my dogs had attacked my bird.

He has always done such a wonderful job of keeping me in the loop of what is going on with my babies, and goes above and beyond with them! I feel so safe knowing that he is taking care of them. I would hands down recommend Casey, and Patriot Pet Services!

We've had Nicolle watching our cat a few times now and she's always been great, but this last trip…read moreshe was exceptional. She called me to tell me she took the cat litter out in the garage and saw our water softener was leaking, and it hadn't been the day before. She gave me the phone number of the company who installed the softener (it was on the tank) and stood by while I called them. She returned to our house and let the workman in to do the repair on the same day. This could have been an expensive issue for us when we returned 4 days later and it was certainly above and beyond her pet sitting duties. Highly recommended.

Hounds lounge is now called "Doghouse on booty rd"…read more I have been bringing my babies here for a couple years, but this last visit was REALLY crappy. I made my appt 3 weeks I n advance for 2 of my dogs. One needed a trim, and one just needed basic grooming without a haircut. When I drop them off that morning the lady (owner) said "2 shaves, right?" I said no, and explained that I gave her personally all the info when I made the appt 3 weeks prior. She used the excuse that it had been weeks, so she didn't remember. (Why wouldn't she have written that very important information down? ) She then told me she couldn't tend to my dogs that day anymore unless they just got shaved. She gave one of my dogs a quick look with a lot of disgust. Judging me for not bringing him in sooner, and telling me his fur couldn't be salvaged, and would have to all be shaved off. She also said that a vet needed to be the one to groom him because his fur was so "severe". I told her I was in between vets at the moment and didn't feel the need to go that route anyway. She asked me who my vet that I no longer trusted was and when I told her the name, she began to say how respectable that dr is. I again told her I didn't like that dr anymore and my bf explained that the vet recommended I end my dog's life for a condition he no longer even has. She then decided it was her place to say (while touching my dog) that if that's what the vet recommended, that I should do it. NO ONE asked For her opinion or recommendation on the matter. Both my bf and I stood there in utter shock at what she was saying. This is the owner! Her daughter had always been very kind and patient with my baby. She however, I did not trust with my child especially since she felt he should be DEAD. I brought both my kids home, refusing to leave them with her. I came home and cleaned up my dog myself. His fur was fine, and his ears brushed right out even though she said she would have to shave them because "they were so bad". She simply seemed to not want my business and tried to scold me numerous times.

It's cost-efficient, and all of the dogs get to play with each other all day every day, rather than having specific walk times, play times, etc... It feels like a natural, genuine, authentic place.

Reason for this review: There's obviously a lot of trust involved in letting people take care of your pets and access your home. We have 100% confidence in Melissa and her team and want to share our experience because - when we were looking for long-term pet sitting - we didn't have any recommendations to help us. Five-star details: 1. Outstanding Communications. Melissa is always available, including by phone, text, and email. She does what she says she is going to do. We've spoken on the phone & Melissa has a great app which gives you updates and photos of your pet! 2. Genuine Caring. On our most recent trip, the weather got cold. Melissa's team members worked with us to turn on our well heater, ensure our pup was kept warm and cozy, and gave us detailed updates and photos. 3. Going Above & Beyond. Melissa called me about the cold weather to alert us in case we didn't know it was going to be below freezing and to ensure our pet was fully taken care of. Her team actually plays with your pet, spends real quality time, and ensures your pet feels loved. They brought our dog extra treats which was incredibly thoughtful because our dog is a senior citizen - and they actually know about dogs so they brought treats that are great for his health as well as being yummy!

I have been taking my two small dogs to Pet Paradise, Georgetown, for two years. I have always had…read morea truly positive experience both for daycare and boarding. From the moment I walked in, I felt the love the staff had for the dogs. Every time I go there, they greet my pups warmly, and any anxiety I may have about leaving them immediately disappears. The team has always been patient and reassuring with me, even when I've called during the day with little worries. I speak directly to someone who knows and truly cares about my dogs -- and that means everything. They listen carefully and they genuinely understand how much we all love our pets. I have read through many of the mixed reviews, and cannot comment on them specifically other than to say that in the many times I have exited and entered that building, I have never personally had a bad experience nor have I witnessed a bad experience. I have seen dozens upon dozens of entrances and exits of dogs in daycare and boarding and I always curiously watch the staff's interactions with the dogs and their owners. I have never been disappointed in seeing consistent, kindness, courtesy and care given in each situation. I feel badly people have had these negative experiences because they simply must have been the exception not the rule as I have never even remotely seen these types of situations. In the two years that I have left my two small dogs at Pet Paradise, Georgetown, they have never gotten sick nor been returned dirty. I am only a customer and have no " skin in this game." I just hate seeing hard working, caring professionals disparaged while some of these anecdotes are inaccurately making it seem like that's the way they conduct their business. I am a big fan of the daycare system. I appreciate that the dogs are given assessments before joining group-play and that trained staff are supervising them. The staff assists you on the best placement of day care and/ or boarding that would work for your dog. The cameras give me extra peace of mind. When I board them, my two pups stay together, upon my request, in a suite and always come home clean, happy, and perfectly tired -- always from a healthy balance of play and rest. The facility is clean and beautifully maintained. It smells fresh, is remarkable aesthetically, and it is impeccably kept on the inside and the outside. Addy (General Manager), Amanda (Assistant Manager), and the entire team -- Ariel, Nellie, Rose, and many other wonderful staff members whom I love so much ( too many to list) -- truly are the heart of this place. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for the animals , as well as their sensitivity and gentleness to me, has never gone unnoticed. I feel completely confident and happy leaving my dogs at Pet Paradise, and that peace of mind is priceless.

TL;DR - Groomer sliced my dog's dewclaw nearly all the way off with the clippers, and management…read moredidn't even apologize. To add insult to literal injury the grooming itself was completely awful. To start, we've taken our dogs to PP for several years now, and have normally had zero problems, but this incident is extremely egregious and needs to be addressed. We dropped our dogs off with the resort, Cara (our chiweenie) just for a bath and Fizzy (our schnauzipoo) for a full grooming. Fizzy's fur gets little mats in it all the time because the hair is so fine, and we brought that to the groomer's attention when we dropped her off. We also asked for a traditional schnauzer cut, just a bit shortened because it's so hot in Texas right now. Cut to a couple hours later and I got a call from the front desk, saying that Fizzy had been given a "slight cut" near her dewclaw and that the on- site very was seeing to her. No big deal, right? Then later the actual vet calls, and tells us that it was more serious than we were originally told, and that Fizzy has been given multiple staples to reattach the dewclaw, but that they had considered removing it fully because of the damage. I come to pick them up, and the vet walks me through the treatment, and brings out Fizzy. She was a completely altered dog, her lovely facial whiskers completely shaved down to the skin, ears trimmed to the very edge and a single-length simple shave overall. I was then directed to checkout, where the front desk girl had the audacity to ask if I wanted to tip the groomer, which was shockingly inappropriate. I was charged full price for the bath and grooming and sent on my way; never once being approached by management to offer even an apology for mangling my dog, much less offer any form of restitution. The attached pictures are what she normally looks like (pink bandanna) vs. the condition Fizzy was given back to us this time. Needless to say, our confidence in and reputation of Pet Paradise has been shattered, and we will be considering other options for grooming and day care in the future, unless significant changes are made. I strongly encourage other patrons to choose a different groomer than Maribel to avoid injury to their pets.
