This was a very convenient location for me to drop my dog off before work and pick him up after, so…read moreI eagerly bought a package of full day passes to give my little Bernie something to do when I was at work all day. Unfortunately, after just a couple of sessions, I had to eat the cost and stop taking Bernie there. I think Julie W. says it best in her review in October 2017: "You know how there are some places you begin to have bad feeling about, but try to ignore them because of history or convenience? Fetch is one of them." The space is very echoey (is that a word?) and the employees are constantly yelling (I'm not sure why). It would freak Bernie out. I came one day early to watch him in there and he was cowered in a corner. The owner brought him to me and you could tell Bernie was totally terrified. They have so many dogs, and not enough people to care for them. The people who worked there when I was there ranged from midely polite to completely checked out/seemed stoned. I ate the cost of this and as a frugal person, this isn't something that I do often. Bummer because the location was so convenient. Bernie gets along well with ALL dogs. This place just terrified him and I don't trust the staff.

Please be advised before taking your fur baby here. I decided to take my 7.5 month old Alaskan Klee…read moreKai to this facility because the location is convenient. PARKING IS NOT! (It shares the space with a coffee shop so there are like 6 spots total to share.) I called in and they said she had to be approved with paperwork as well as a 30 min behavioral assessment. There's a drop off area with a counter but then they take your dog back where owners aren't allowed. I understand why now. I initially bought a 5, half day pass for $90. I took her and when I picked her up she was WILD. I thought maybe it was because this was her first time at a daycare and she was super excited. So I didn't think too much of it. That night I found a large mark on her stomach and called the vet. They said it couldn't been rough play but they weren't sure, and to keep an eye on it. That night my dog wouldn't go to the bathroom at all. I stayed up well past my normal time taking her out to try and go. I wake up about 3 hours later to find she had diarrhea all over the house. 45 minutes of cleaning that and she throws up and then goes to the bathroom again. Again, I thought maybe it was because of all the excitement. Because I bought the pass and I didn't have care set up for her while I went to work the next day..I took her back to see if that first time was just a fluke. It definitely was not!! When I picked her up she was completely drenched and while I hoped it was water..she wreaked of pee. I took her home and gave her a bath and she was so scared. I had never seen her behave like this. The same thing happened that night where she wouldn't go to the bathroom and in the night she pooped everywhere (I found out later they just let them poop anywhere. My dog is potty trained so this behavior is abnormal) She threw up again and at this point stopped eating. I immediately called the vet and they had her come in for an emergency visit where they discovered ROUND WORMS. They said chances are because they let them poop everywhere..that she stepped in it and maybe licked her paws at some point...but anyway they said I shouldn't continue taking her there. I then emailed Ted (the owner) explaining that situation in which I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. A few days later I called back to see what's going on and the front desk person said, 'oh, there's a check here for you' and hung up. They refunded the 3 out of 5 stays I didn't use. This is a dirty place and unless you want to deal with your dog getting sick and needing antibiotics, I would highly recommend taking her somewhere else!

This is a long overdue review. Also, I think this is more like a thank-you letter to Jen than a…read morereview. As many others have stated, Jen is amazing. Our dog, Shaka, just loved spending time with her and the other pups she cared for. We were a little worried at first about his temperament being around others (humans and other animals) since he gets a little skittish, but he seemed to thrive there. When it was pick-up time, he was always happy and seemed to sleep very well from getting his exercise and socialize in. (He also smelled great on his longer stays. Thank you for the baths!) Jen is super flexible and communicative. We were so appreciative of this since we tend be rather spontaneous and would ask to drop him off the day before sometimes. We also would extend his stay last minute, for example, when we were taking road trips and wanted to stop for the night instead of driving all the way through a town. (Sorry and thank you so much, Jen!) Shaka has stayed over from one day to two weeks (possibly more), and each time, we've received text updates from her and even pictures of him happy with his friends. I always looked forward to those. Shaka passed away early last year, and I've been meaning to write this for a long time to say, "Thank you, Jen!" for being such a wonderful caregiver and trustworthy and friendly person overall. Dog parents, I 1000% recommend Jen.

We used Tails and Trails 3 times with mixed results. Important to know- you create detailed notes with the owner (Jeff) on how to access your building, routines, where leashes are, etc., etc., when you have your introductory visit. Our instructions ask that the handler only feeds the cats their canned food, nothing else. 1st time, week-long trip (June 2024)- handlers were 2+ hours late regularly. While this wasn't the biggest issue, we don't have a doggie door and that level of lateness pushed the pup's bathroom breaks longer than we're comfortable. But, we liked the service offered and adjusted how often we scheduled handler visits for the second and third visits. 2nd time, 1 week of walks while both of us were gone for longer than 8 hours (September 2024)- Great! Annie (I'm not disclosing employees' full names for their privacy) had no problems and was very helpful. 3rd time, overnight away- 4 visits requested: Sat afternoon and evening; Sun am and afternoon (October 2024)- Day 1- We left the house at 8 am and scheduled feeding/walk visits for about 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Around 1:25 pm, Chloe (office manager) texted me to ask if we had scheduled for 7:00 am that day. When we said we hadn't, a communication between Chloe and a handler led to the 1:00 pm visit being skipped. We talked with Chloe that evening and she said the handler would roll the afternoon and evening visits together, apologized for the miscommunication between herself and the handler, and credited our account for the mistake (all great). The handler arrived around 7:00 pm. They had a difficult time accessing the building so Chloe texted us to say the handler would hang out for a little longer before leaving if they couldn't get access. Once they did get into the building, they couldn't find the food or leash. The access information, food instructions, and where the leashes are were all in the instructions. The handler fed the pets and took the pup for a 15-min potty break. Since we were only gone for a night, we didn't book anyone to stay overnight. We considered cutting the trip short and wish we had. Day 2- Oscar was our handler. We got notifications that both visits were completed and everything seemed to have gone smoothly. When we got home, a glass jar with cat treats had been taken from the closed closet and left open on the counter. When we got home, there were treats all over the counter and SHATTERED GLASS MIXED WITH TREATS all over the floor. All three cats had engorged stomachs. While Chloe apologized and said she'd speak with Oscar the next day, we didn't hear back from Tails and Trails' manager or owner. We'll be anxiously monitoring our furbabies for a few more days.

Pearl Paws is reliable, trustworthy, and kind. What more can you ask for? Many other companies you'll find on yelp (and ones we have used in the past) outsource the pet care services and you end up with a different freelance person each day. This was not what we were interested in. We wanted a personal relationship with the person that came to take care of Jam. And upon first meeting with Nikki and/or Tony, you get to know the lovely individual that will be in your home every day. Honestly, you'll feel like you have a good friend hanging out with your fur baby. It's the best. Highly recommend!

We met with the owners Nikki and Tony as soon as we moved in to introduce our baby girl Madiba. The rapport was instant. I instantly trusted them and could feel and see their love for and respect of dogs in the way they interacted with Madiba and the questions they asked me. First of all, I should say that I don't trust people easily and I definitely don't trust easily when it comes to Madiba but I knew this was a perfect match. I know they care for Madiba with love and they connect with her. This is critical to me. We use Pearl Paws for both walking and sitting and i can't describe the peace of mind I feel when I know Madiba is with Nikki and Tony. It's easy to schedule with them. They are flexible and will work with your schedule. Their prices are extremely reasonable. They do sitting by the hour and overnight as well. Their love of animals is not limited to dogs, they care for a number of cats as well. If you live in Block 17, NV or any building nearby, you'd be crazy not to rely on Pearl Paws.
