We've been bringing our lab Schatzi to Central Bark for over three years. The staff love her, and…read moreshe loves them back. All the pups are vetted before being admitted, so we've never had to worry about aggression from other dogs. And they're super attentive, even calling me at work once when they spotted a small wound that I didn't notice that morning (she got it hiking through brush with her dad the previous evening; it was minor, but I so appreciated their concern). Most of all, Schatzi loves it there. She gets so excited when I tell her it's time to go to "school." I don't think you could find a kinder, cleaner, safer place to bring your fur kid.

I've been thinking about writing this review for a long time. I brought my 2 dogs into CB over a…read moreyear ago. The staff were very friendly but ultimately they lost our business and here's why: My older dog had a hard time there. He's nervous. At pickup we were told he actually bit the handler, because he tried to escape the kennel and he grabbed him suddenly. He reassured me that "dogs bite for a reason" - which is true. I actually felt bad about the injury and we didn't take him back. One staff member said he could return, but the staff member who was bitten implied that he probably will never acclimate to them. My other dog is social and confident. She returned a couple times for doggy play dates. I liked her having somewhere to be and something to do while I worked. However, CB requires you bring your dog at least once a week for them to be able to socialize with the dog groups. This is financially problematic for me. I could probably do every other week, but that wasn't sufficient for them. They know the dogs temperaments and they're all familiar with each other, so the weekly requirement is such a price gouge. Without those weekly visits, she'd be confined to one on one play with the humans only. That sucks. The real final problem for me was a social media post I saw, almost a year ago. They posted a dog recipe for something that included garlic. Garlic is apparently a controversial topic. I responded to their story that garlic is toxic to dogs. See the photo along with this review. They responded that garlic is ok in small amounts, despite the known toxin. This was bewildering to me. Why would you post anything that could potentially harm a dog? What if the recipe is wrong? What if a dog is more sensitive than others? The logic here is "toxins in small amounts are ok" and I cannot get behind a place that thinks that. I'm leaving my dog in their care. What else might be ok in small amounts? A little bit of mishandling is ok? A little bit of other toxins? As long as they survive it's ok? Where is the line? The mistrust here tipped the scale to never returning.

The best time because were able to relax and know that our cats were taken care of, she came twice a day gave them medicine and food, she talked and played with them she just took care of everything. She watered my fuchsias for me because was really hot this week. She checks the mail and keeps an eye on the house.

My partner and I have various disabilities that doesn't give us the best option of administering what our boy needs. We called on Tasha to be his nurse and she has truly been wonderful. Having the option of in-home care for our boy has changed our (and his) world for the better. The stress of the carrier, car rides and the vet every week is no longer necessary! Tasha comes to our apartment twice a week and brings a warm, soft blanket just for him. She really takes the time to connect to our fur baby and she takes the time to connect with us as well. Tasha answers any questions to the best of her ability. She's intelligent, patient, incredibly caring and professional. You can tell that she has a deep passion for animals and a lot of training and experience that has given her the tools she needs to provide the very best care. She keeps in weekly contact, checking on our boy and reminding us of appointments as well as offering a different time for her to come in as her schedule allows. We keep an odd schedule and Tasha is very accommodating! Our fur baby likes Tasha and he's comfortable with her too. She's given all of us some peace of mind and the security of knowing she's there when we need her. Tasha has gone above and beyond her call of duty and we are so grateful to her! She's dependable, punctual and a good person with a heart of gold, a sharp mind and a gentle hand. We are blessed with more precious time with our fur baby because Tasha has made it so. If you're looking for someone who is caring, professional and who treats your fur baby as an individual and not just another animal - then Tasha is who you need! We trust her with our fur baby and that is priceless. :)

The fact that it's at home makes it seem like no big deal and they all come out relaxed and adorable. Her cuts look precious and photoworthy on the day; and they also grow out into a well-crafted mid-long coat. We are able to stretch our budget a bit because of her skilled cuts, which I also appreciate. The dogs love her and show her no fear or anxiety and a full service includes everything.

My husband and I moved to the area a little over a year ago with our beagle, Tucker. Pretty soon…read moreinto our time here, we needed a pet sitter that we could trust to take care of Tucker. We knew that we needed someone who could come to the house because Tucker has a lot of anxiety and a kennel is just not the place for him. My husband and I also do a lot of traveling and many times it is not feasible to bring Tucker. I found Zach and Felicia on yelp and figured I would give them a call. Zach came over to meet Tucker and I just knew from this meeting that we had found our pet sitter. Tucker has many anxiety issues and he tends to be apprehensive around men, but he warmed up to Zach right away. We call on Zach and Felicia every time we need to leave town and they have always been there for us. Sometimes we have even had to call on them last minute and they still make it work! We had a crazy schedule this summer and they were able to take care of him each time. While we are away, they send us updates to let us know how he is doing. This helps me to relax, knowing that he is in good hands. The best part is that when we return home, Tucker is happy. I find their $15 a visit rate to be extremely reasonable especially because I know they are taking such good care of our dog. They also offer overnight visits and boarding from their home, which are both great options. We are all so thankful that we met this wonderful couple! I highly recommend them!

I waited quite a while to get my dog mainly because I wanted to be able to be around the house for him, so it was important to me to select a good pet sitter who would be able to take him out to the bathroom and refresh his food bowl if needed. I contacted a few other Yelpers about their experience with LPPC, and had an overall good feeling. Larry and Margaret, the owners of the company (a retired couple who purchased the company from some UO students a little while ago), came to visit me and the puppy and were extremely friendly and personable. Their rates are good, too, especially for multiple walks paid for up-front (they offer a discount and will let you schedule your visits however you'd like)--I paid $135 for 10 visits, which works out to be a discount of $1.50 off the normal $15/visit rate. They were extremely flexible with payment, allowing me to leave a check to be picked up on their second visit. Most importantly, though, Hiro seems to like all of them a great deal, and Margaret always leaves very nice and detailed notes about their visits. (She even suggested that I move his kennel closer to the door, as he is a bit excitable and tends to have piddle accidents when new people show up at the apartment.) Overall I find these folks very trustworthy, and I will continue to use them for the foreseeable future.

They were happy and cared for, and we got great updates and pictures while we were gone. We flew back to Portland in mid-Jan 2024 (right in the middle of the terrible ice storm) and got stuck in Portland for a few nights because of road conditions. Trish was so nice about our delay and let us extend our stay. When we finally got back to Eugene, the ice was insane, and it was unsafe to drive across town to get our cats, so Trish let us extend our stay again! And then! The ice thawed, and a tree fell through our roof, collapsing our ceiling. Trish was, again, amazing and understanding and allowed our cats to stay even longer while we worked through the disaster and patched up the ceiling. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her, and I cannot say enough good things about Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel. The facility is clean and the rooms are fun and our cats are comfortable and always return home happy.
