When I pulled up a younger male (long hair) was a bit standoffish and looked at me like I was insane asking if I could come check the facility out. I honestly felt like I was being shamed for so much as asking to come see where she would be after I dropped her off or meet any staff. I guess we are supposed to hand off our dogs through the car window on a rather busy street, to a virtual stranger? No lobby or anything? He said I could look at pictures online, but I have never had a boarding or daycare place gate keep their space like that.

I have never left a review on Yelp before, but feel I need to now. I have had 2 different dogs who…read morewe have taken here over the past 6+ years. I was always surprised when I would pick them up and they would be very wet, sometimes soaking wet. I was under the impression this was because it can be very warm in Lafayette and that is how they cooled the dogs off. imagine my surprise when I was told they use water from hoses to "correct" behaviors. I have checked around and found this is not a usual way to correct dogs. so, my dogs won't be going there. I am also going to clarify to anyone I have recommended Tail Haven to that I no longer recommend their doggie day care.

Don't even hesitate- just hire Jacob if you are lucky enough that he is available!!…read more Can't say enough about what a great experience it was to have Jacob cat sit for us for a few weeks while we were out of the country. He took such amazing care of our cats, provided daily updates along with the best pictures and was available for a chat or update when we needed anything. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation and get to relax while on vacation because of him! I think our cats are sad that we are back home since they miss his undivided attention and trained him well!! He also left our home in a spotless condition and it was so nice to come back home!

Very reasonable fee based on the over and above service he provides) Jacob is fabulous. I cannot recommend any higher. If you love your family pet, this is your guy!!!!!!! When we returned he left us a nice note, flowers and printed and framed photo of our cat! He's THE BEST!!!!

Camp Bow Wow has been my go to location for boarding my dog or for just having a fun play day!…read more Camp Bow Wow has cameras where you can monitor your pup playing all day which is really helpful for an overprotective dog mom like me. Sending my dog here helps with getting him socialized with other dogs. Not to mention it really tuckers him out after a fun filled day. After the first initial meeting with Camp Bow Wow, scheduling days for your dog to stay is easy through their app. They also have special offerings. They offer baths and nail trims. They also offer special enrichment packages like cuddle time or a sniffing game. If you choose the enrichment packages they will send you a photo and a synopsis of how well your dog did during the enrichment time! Love this place!

She is thrilled to go there weekly and they take such good care of her. She is a slow to warm dog but they worked with us until she got comfortable enough in their environment (they are diligent in their interviews) to start going there and now she is a big fan and so are we! The crew is consistently kind and awesome, which to me shows the owners are setting a great tone and have cultivated a wonderful culture.

So if you're like us and think that you need to fill up your fridge with food, and hide all your valuables so that some strange house sitter can stay at your home with your dogs - just so you can try and relax when you're away - think again - just take them to Little Red Barn, where they will be safe, reliably cared for, and return home like they were on vacation too !

Candice Harper's (the owners)…read moreresponse was 'well I guess you won't be boarding again in the future if you that are unhappy'. Reasons given for these wounds included 'he was climbing in and out of a paddling pool' and 'maybe it was because he was laying down on concrete'. They claimed to be unaware of the cut under his eye or the cut behind his ear. In fairness, I had previously boarded my dog here without incident, and always found Lauren, in particular to be very attentive. However, the response from the owner, Candice Harper when I collected my Dog was contemptible. They had also not sought to get my dog seen by a vet and just suggested he would 'be fine'. I don't ordinarily review anything, but people should be aware of the potential risks of boarding here. Negligent at best. Completely devoid of any duty of care based on this experience.

The staff have always been very friendly to me, and make comments when I pick up Lucy that suggest they really care and have paid attention to her unique personality (cattitude?). When I arrive I am greeted by a big group of dogs that always appear to be happy and playful. Perhaps folks have really had some worse experiences than mine, but I just wanted to throw my two cents in and say thank you for always taking care of my buddy Lucy

Unfortunately, my travel plans changed and I ended up not needing pet sitting services this summer. Even so, I wanted to leave a review because I was so impressed with the company. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about both their clients and their pets. Communication was excellent, and their website made scheduling and payment incredibly easy.

I have a very shy older cat, and he understands her quirks (and probably mine). He's a joy to deal with, and it has given me great peace of mind while travelling. This last visit, ants had decided to invade. I happened to have some ant traps on my counter because I had used them recently. He took the initiative to place a few more where needed, and the ants were gone by the time I got home. These are the kind of details that you don't get with just anyone. I had always had friends take care of my cat, but I decided to look for something more consistent. I found his service while blindly searching the internet and reading through reviews. If you're looking for peace of mind at a reasonable price, you have found your answer!
