Felt the need to post a review after reading a previous one written. I'm new to the area and…read moretherefore had to switch groomers. I'm what you call a "helicopter dog mom", I had taken all my dogs to one groomer that I knew personally so switching to an unknown is a big deal. Mo could not have been better for my dog. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her job and caring for your pets. When I dropped my dog off, she was very anxious and didn't want me to go. By the time I came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! Very thankful for the time and energy Mo put in to making my girl feel her best.

Four years ago, Miranda killed my dog. It was not intentional but it was negligent. I avoided…read morewriting a review because I didn't want to write it from a place of anger but four years later I think about this everyday and I will never get over it. I feel that it's unfair to not share my experience with others so they can make their own choices. I had 2 dogs and one was a very selective dog, meaning he didn't get along with all dogs he met. Miranda was referred to us by a friend whose dog had similar issues. When we met Miranda to see her facility, I asked her if she would be cresting the dogs when she left the building. (I asked this for a reason) she told me that if they were not crated at home, she would not crate them and they could just stay in her living space. It turns out that Miranda was crating my dogs together when she left them and that is ultimately what led to my dogs death. My selective dog could not be crated with any other dogs. If he was and anything triggered him, he would redirect onto another dog in his crate, even his brother and they would fight. This happened so Miranda came home and found that my dogs had a fight in their crate. She took the selective dog, Carson out to bathe him and ultimately left him unattended in the sink, tethered to the wall. He then tried to jump out of the sink and you can imagine the rest. We left for the weekend with 2 dogs and came back having only one.

I think of her as one of our dog's trainers. You're getting a lot for your money when you hire her because of this. Our dog was a rescue that was afraid of some people and objects, and Tamara helped refine his sense of trust through her training and conversations with us. She is definitely into collaborating with dog parents to make sure everyone is getting the best possible experience and growing and improving with time. She is also very communicative about walks, schedules and weather. There were several times that we would be approaching a school holiday and I wouldn't remember to cancel with Tamara, but she would contact me beforehand to confirm. I definitely have a strange walking schedule some weeks and Tamara was very patient with adjusting walks for the week to accommodate that, as well as having a great memory for those schedules. All in all, I'm so lucky to have found such a great service for my doggie.

We left our dog here over the weekend, and were thrilled with our experience. This was the first…read moretime we were leaving our dog with someone who wasn't a friend or family, so we were a bit nervous going in. Elizabeth clearly knows her stuff, and took time to make sure we felt comfortable with a really helpful packet of information for us along with a short meet and greet visit at her home where our dog would be staying. Throughout the visit, Elizabeth kept us updated with texts, short videos and photos. When we picked up our dog, he was so happy and exhausted - almost like what you'd expect picking up a kid from sleep away camp. This was truly an exceptional experience for all of us, and we will definitely be reaching out to Elizabeth the next time we need a dog sitter!

Boarding with Elizabeth always puts our minds at ease when we're away - we couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for our boy.
