My girl…read morehas the best time with all of her human and dog friends there and comes home so tired and happy every evening. I feel completely assured that she is in a safe and loving environment. To mention a few, Helen, Jess, Tarrant, and Johnny go above and beyond to let me know that Polka is having a great time. I get funny videos of her, and great stories when I pick her up after work. Helen even makes doggie bday cakes from scratch and Jess sets up adorable photo shoots for the animals in their care! We love Upper Paw!

It has been painful for me to look for a reliable person to take care of my dog while I am away…read moreuntil I met Austin Animal Care. Serina and Ariana took great care of my dog Cary and sent me adorable pictures everyday! They are sweet dog lovers and super responsible dog sitters. They came to my place twice a day, fed my dog following the instructions I left, and brought my dog out for a happy walk. They even sent me the GPS tracking of their walking route! When I got home, my dog was happy and healthy and I could see that he had been taken care really well during the past few days. I will definitely recommend Austin Animal Care to anyone that has dogs and they are the best dog sitters I've ever used!

I can't say enough great things about Wag Westlake! I have to say that I am completely blown away…read moreby how attentive our care has been with the new business owner. My pup, ChiChi, has always been a bit anxious around new people, but when we met our pet sitter at the meet and greet, which cost us nothing by the way, I felt very comfortable with them and so did ChiChi. I could tell that they genuinely cared about animals and took the time to understand my and ChiChi's needs. Our dog walker was very friendly and professional. I do have to say ChiChi has throughly enjoyed the walks. She literally comes back happy, but also ready to take a nap, which is great since she's a high energy pup. Communication has also been top-notch. They send great updates and photos after each walk, and if I'm not home they even make sure her water bowl is filled. Love that! If you're a pet parent in Westlake, I highly recommend checking them out! ChiChi and I are grateful for their amazing service and friendly staff! Thank you for being so awesome!

This is a great place for doggy daycare, boarding, grooming, or parties…read more Yep, they host doggy birthday parties-how fun is that? I don't board my dog and never will but I like the idea of him having a place to play and get some energy out. With that said, he doesn't do well with other dogs, or humans for that matter. It's ok because they have a professionally trained staff who work with dogs of all kinds and understand how to take care of a reactive guy. They also offer training which is a bonus.

I WOULD NOT entrust them with my dog. Initially, I was excited about this new pet service near me…read moresince I have 3 pets in need of grooming and daycare. Unfortunately, before my first appointment, I discovered how disorganized and potentially unsafe the place could be. Upon arriving for my dog's grooming appointment, there was no one present, only an unleashed dog barking incessantly at the door. Despite knocking repeatedly for 10 mins, no one responded. An Amazon driver tried to assist me by entering, even with the unleashed dog present. He came out and informed me that no one was there. What kind of disorganized business is this? I would not feel comfortable leaving my dogs in their care. Look elsewhere.

I cannot recommend Tooth and Tail highly enough! Anisha and her staff are extremely qualified and…read moreexperienced with dog behavior. They also are "people-people" and can help owners better understand and support their dogs. My elderly mom has been using their dog walking services for many years, and not only does Sheba absolutely love her walks (and is better behaved while walking), but I also appreciate knowing that every week my mom is seeing extremely kind, friendly people who have come to know her and care about her as a person. One of their dog walkers also recognized when my mom wasn't doing well one day and helped her to call my sister! Their dog day care and dog socialization services are also top-notch. A trainer myself, I have referred many clients to them, and everyone I know has been thrilled with how well their dogs have done. I recommend them without hesitation!

The most telling thing for us, as we (pre-Covid) travel a lot, is that when we come home, all worried, the two dogs, cat and turtle are all completely relaxed, yawning, chill. They LOVE their Auntie Catherine. She knows medicines and can give. She once stayed at our house with a dog that got ill that day while we were gone, until 11pm. We have used her service for 14 years. She rescues all kinds of animals including a donkey at her nearby farm. Very awesome person, we're lucky to have her, but our furr (and scale) babies are the really lucky ones.

Sadly, our two beautiful little girls who originally led us to Catherine are no longer with us but right up until the end they loved their visits and loved Catherine. Now we have two new little monsters who stay with Catherine regularly and (we're sure) do their best to driver her crazy - and Catherine takes it all in stride and with a smile. Thank you for 10 years of loving our girls, Catherine! We simply don't know what we'd do without you!

I have also worked as a team with him with an elderly dog that required a lot of special attention so I have seen first hand the exceptional level of care he gives.

Not a fan of this business model for my dogs. We tried it for two months. I have two white furry…read moredogs (bichon and maltipoo) one is 14.5yrs and the other 13.5yrs. My dogs are used to going to the groomers to get washed every Wednesday. We've been doing this for 14 years. When I first dropped them off, my little bichon was shaking like a leaf and very scared. My multi poo seemed a little apprehensive as well, but still went in. By the third time my maltipoo didn't wanna go in and my bichon on the drive over, when we turned left on the light, started shaking like a leaf. When they were brought out to me, my bichon was panting heavily every time and would hold on to me like she was so scared. My maltipoo who has a higher tolerance for change was also like get me out of here. I think this model is better for bigger dogs who just going to wash, but dogs who need to be brushed out and fluffed out and blow dried, this is not the right option because they rush things so much. I went over to Plush Pads and the dogs have had a completely opposite reaction. They haven't panted or shaken and have been super happy when I pick them up. Lastly, they didn't seem operationally sound in their processes. We go weekly and it seemed like I was told I was on the schedule and then I showed up and they didn't have me on it. How hard is weekly folks? They also nickel and dime you for everything and when I asked for sani-trim they didn't shave or cut them like a seasoned groomer. I paid for their paw furry to be trimmed and they cut the hairs with sissies (I could do that), but like my old groomer, who shaved in between their paws. So I felt like I was charged for a half-ass job. It just seemed like a laundry mat experience for me, when you go it to get your laundry done quickly you go to a laundry mat, and it never fails that the machine stops for another quarter. I've been to laundry mats once before and this is the experience Scenthound reminded me of. Again, maybe this model works for other dogs, but every time I picked up my dogs or were dropping off my dogs and there were other big dogs there, those dogs also seem scared.
