Let me start by saying I did not get training here, and for very good reason. The price was…read moreastronomical and I also had an awful experience during my phone consultation that completely turned me off and I wanted to warn people about it. I spoke with a woman and maybe 10 minutes into our conversation she tells me my only option is board and train which would be sending my dog away for three weeks and it's usually $4200 but she would give it to me for $3400. I immediately tell her that that's not doable for me, and during our conversation I got very emotional and began to cry to which did not phase her. She continued the sales pitch without hesitation. The entire phone call was the most sales phone call I've ever experienced, it's like she was reading off a script and there was nothing personal about it. She wasn't listening to me to understand, she was listening to me in order to respond and she already knew what her responses would be before I was done speaking. So impersonal. I asked her to send me the payment plan options so I could look into it which she did but I also expressed to her that three weeks without my dog is a very hard decision for me to make. She told me to let her know in 24 hours if I was going to do it if I wanted the discounted price. That's a big decision to make in 24 hours, spending that amount of money and also sending my dog away for three weeks. I explained to her that this is not something I'm going to move forward with at this time because I cannot afford it and the length of the training does not work for me. I told her I would reach out if I change my mind in the future. She then texted me a text message that I thought was incredibly inappropriate and was intended to guilt me into taking the training. Now the price isn't just not doable for me because I want to save money, I literally don't have that money, and I don't have the money for the payment plan either it is simply too expensive for me. My entire phone call and also the follow up text message made me feel that they were more concerned about closing the sale and getting money then actually caring for and helping my dog. I even asked her if there were other options she basically told me no. If I am going to put my dog in the hands of other people for almost a month I want to be sure that I can trust them and that they actually care and that this isn't just another sale for them. I felt this was just another sale for them.

While doing so he punctured a hole in our sprinkler system piping, broke a rake, and broke a part of the box for one of our garage doors. One of our Japanese hand saws is missing and he stole my parents' check book! As a pet sitter he fed my dog 1.5 bags of Greenie dental treats and 2 bags of cookies in a 3 day period which has caused him to be sick for the last few days. He also was just unclean as he threw cigarette butts all over the yard and didn't wash any of his dishes. Weirdly a pair of my shorts i havent worn in years was in my laundry room when it was just me and him at the house. Again, just don't do it to yourselves and find someone who cares about your dog as well as your living space.

I would like to give them a special shout out for the care that they gave our pets while we were away during a recent large snowstorm. We were concerned that they wouldn't be able to make it to our house because of the severity of the storm. they kept in touch and made sure that there was enough food and water for our fur babies in case they wee unable to make it back at the scheduled time. We didn't want them to endanger themselves and knew that they would be fine if they couldn't make it back. All went well and they reported back to us the next morning when the roads were cleared and they could make it back. They dug out a spot on the deck for our dog to get out and go the the bathroom and all was well. This is a great company and they truly love the pets that they are taiga care of.

I contacted Ma & Pa after seeing their endless list of qualifications and certifications on their website, it was unlike any other local pet care provider.. We set up an in-home consultation where they presented all of their qualifications in person - including letters of recommendation from respectable members in our community, certifications of specialized training, and every other piece of data that you could possibly want to verify their trustworthiness. This was very impressive. They are passionate about what they do, extremely friendly, and they are (by far) the most thorough & organized small business owners that I've met. So now, when we're away, they txt us with detailed updates and photos of our pets having a great time - playing with new toys they brought over, enjoying Ma's home grown catnip.. Geoff even goes out of his way to check in & verify that we arrived home on time to feed our pets after we had returned. Ma & Pa Fur have taken all of the guilt & worry out of our time away from home.. I'm pretty sure my pets look forward to our time away now, for their fun visits with Ma & Pa Fur!

Most recently, our flight was canceled coming home from a trip and within minutes of notifying Colleen, she figured out a way to accommodate our last minute, extra day request.
