If you like short and to the point:…read more Your search stops here. A Pets Tale is the only pet care service you will need moving forward and certainly the only one you will seek out. Chris has set the bar incredibly high and we feel very safe using him. You cannot find his price point, impeccable customer service, trustworthiness and dry humor anywhere else if you searched up and down the tristate area. Most importantly: our two large shepherds are obsessed with him. Chris is tenured, over communicates and pays close attention to detail. There is no one else I'd recommend servicing the Morris county and surrounding areas to take care of your babes while you are away or in a pinch. If you like detail, grab your coffee and read on: Family Dynamic: Nala: Pure Bred German Shepherd, 90 pounds, 4 years old Arlo: (Rescue) German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees/Husky mix, 1 1/2 years old Sardine: Domestic long hair, prince, 2 years old The only way to begin this review is by starting with Arlo, who is the sole reason our household feels like chaos. Now controlled chaos with the help of Chris, but chaos nonetheless. I rescued Arlo after losing my picture perfect 5 year old pure bred German shepherd to cancer. My thought was by rescuing a puppy I can train unwanted or learned behaviors and it wouldn't have any trauma. Not the case, and I learned the hard way that a dog with separation anxiety requires compromising efforts to ensure your dog is not distressed 24/7, otherwise your cortisol will be through the roof. I adopted Arlo when working remotely and spent 4 hours daily for the first 8 months training on a strict schedule. He's trained. He can come, heal, stay, go to place, sit, down, spin, speak, touch, lay chill, quiet- the list goes on. He simply chooses not to. No amount of leadership, high reward treat or toy will capture his attention span longer than maybe one minute. He's a healthy blend between Beethoven, the golden retriever from Disney's UP!, and dennis the menace. Nothing but a huge ball of love that doesn't know his size, Arlo can easily buckle the knees of a 200 pound man or accidentally knock grandma down requiring a hip replacement. We have two dogs actively fighting to be the alpha on a daily basis, and a mischievous cat who likes to instigate play. If unsupervised, it's tom and jerry, except the cat is the one chasing the dogs not realizing it's like playing Russian roulette with the jaw of Fur missile- but I digress. After exhausting trial and error efforts we have a routine down to a science that works. Any change in the routine shakes things up. This made traveling or extended day plans an anxiety driven nightmare because we had no solution. Friendly reminder when you have two 90 pound working dogs, you can't just ask the neighbor or family to watch them. Before using Chris, I utilized two different highly reviewed kennels for travel. The first Kennel experience: Arlo was returned to me walking on 3 legs, yelping in pain that required $800 X-rays. The second Kennel experience: Arlo was returned to me with HPV virus and warts all over his mouth (absolutely disgusting) and kennel cough that cost me $500. (All of which pet insurance did not cover, which on a side topic is a complete and utter scam.) Fast forward to now: We can travel, not have to worry and finally enjoy ourselves. Our dogs routine is much different than the average, but it works for us and Chris just gets it. When we are away he stops by our home 4-6 times depending on the weather. He gives us detailed updates, photos, and a sense of relief. The most refreshing part is that we trust him to make the judgement calls when we are away and don't ever have to think twice or worry. Review kicker: After two years of business we've built a strong relationship with chris. While we were traveling earlier this year, I texted him saying: "Nalas birthday is tomorrow. I cannot believe we are traveling on such an important day. Can you sing to her to make her feel loved.' "If you want her ears to bleed, I sure can." I genuinely thought this was where this conversation would end. Until I received an unexpected VIDEO of Chris singing happy birthday to Nala with a puppy crown on, a pumpkin bday cake and a lit birthday candle. Are you kidding me? Trust me when I say Chris is WAY too busy with too many clients to be running around buying gifts because someone sarcastically asked him to sing happy birthday. He did that because he loves Nala like his own, and we love him for it! Thank you A Pets Tale for making our life simpler and more enjoyable with the help of your services. We will continue to recommend you as long as you are in business. - Mother of Dooblani's

Absolutely LOVE them. They paired us with the perfect pet sitter - one of our cats is very anxious,…read moreand typically hides during pet sitter visits, doesn't eat much, and will nervously scratch patches of fur off while we're gone. During a 12 day trip, we received pictures and updates from each visit (2x/day). Our anxious boy came out (picture proof!!) by the third visit, and was eating at each visit, which we consider a miracle. When we came home, we noticed he didn't have ANY nervous scratching. Another miracle :) We will be using them for all of our cat sitting needs moving forward - we're so glad we found them. They made sure all 4 of our cats continued to have a calm, clean, and safe environment while we were gone. We felt so at ease by getting all of those pictures and written updates - we know our cats were taken care of and happy!

He was treated well, but was very isolated and therefore was challenging with other people and animals. Iohana came over a few times to review our dog and give us helpful ways to overcome his aggression. She started us on clicker training with him, something I had not used before. Thanks to her training and teaching us, the dog is making strides and we have high hopes that he will be fully adoptable in the future. Would recommend her without hesitation! As an added bonus, she's a graduate of the animal behavior program at Bucknell, where my daughter currently goes!

We had a great experience working with Jenny!! We contacted her right after adopting our puppy, who…read morewas 3 1/2 months at the time. We had 6 sessions with her and we saw concrete results very fast! Our dog had absolutely no training and shortly after working with Jenny we managed to house-train her, teach her various commands and bring her to the park off-leash! We did almost all of the sessions at home and one at the park (which I think was a very effective combination plus the fact that we started very early) and we plan to call her again if our dog ver needs a refresh or develop any problems. What's great about Jenny and her method is that: 1) she does everything with love; she absolutely adores working with dogs and they obviously reciprocate 2) she respects their own learning time and adapts commands to whatever works best for you and your dog 3) she teaches you how to prevent problematic situations with your dog, helping you to understand how to communicate with them and read their signs. Finally, Jenny is very honest about how many sessions she thinks your dog might need depending on your goals and the dog needs without ever pushing for anything if it's not necessary. I recommend her without hesitation; I'm sure your dog will love her as much as our does!

We found out the hard way that he is very "food motivated". So much so that he would steal food off our counters if you left him alone for a second. To add insult to injury, stealing food would make him anxious and then he would pee on our floor. I was skeptical at first. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, as they say. Apparently that old adage isn't always true. Jenny taught our old dog many new tricks. All of which made him a better, more obedient member of our family. I was pleasantly shocked with how far he progressed under her tutelage.

BEWARE - our dog (Benny) was severely injured while in the care of The Grooming Room, Milburn, NJ…read more I received a call from Chris (new owner) that Benny was bleeding badly from his paw and needed to be picked up immediately and taken for emergency Veterinarian treatment. Two treatments totaling $775 were needed to resolve.

The Grooming Room is a dishonest business that does not accept responsibility for their work and pet care.
