My dog has some challenges on walks but never with her. Our dog is very skittish of new people but licked her face the minute they met. She doesn't just say she loves animals she lives that life. Rescuing dogs and cats and helping them and finding homes. Often she will answer the phone at night and she will be at someone's home where she is just suppose to make a visit while they are out of town but stays for so much longer cause she wants them to have more attentions. You can completely count on her to be there everyday on time. She has never been late or called to say she can't make it. Snow storms Will not even keep her away and when the weather is horrible she figures out a way to get them some fun. We couldn't live without doggie dharma!! Call now if you love your dog.

Today I had my 13-year old Havanese groomed at Rover's Place, and I'm thrilled…read more After a brutal groom at Wags on Willow (reviewed separately), our vet suggested Rover's, and I'm so glad. My senior dog can't take epic grooming sessions, and her hair was choppy and uneven after her last groom. Her ears and tail had been weirdly shaved, and I wasn't sure we'd be able to make her look normal again during her lifetime. The staff at Rover's is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The groomer we saw today has been grooming for 18 years, and had my sweet pup groomed in 45 minutes--and it's the best cut she's had in years. She did what she could to round out her ears, and to help set her up with a cut she can grow back into and look like herself again. My dog is fluffy, soft, adorable, and HAPPY! As a side note, all of the groomers there today were being so warm and friendly with the dogs in their care. I even saw one groomer sitting on the floor keeping a dog company while it waited for its owner. We will be going to Rover's for our grooming from now on!!

We boarded our 2 yo baby here over the summer after doing a trial day with them, where she did…read morewell. She is a dopey but strong dog, and super sweet and her definition of playing with other dogs frequently involves jumping over them, something we have beenn working on. Up until her boarding experience, she had successful play dates with doggy friends, ran around at the dog park with friends, overall did well. During her stay, we were out of the country. After a successful trial and all the positive reviews, we were confident she would do well. It was not her first time boarding, just her first time at Rovers. Well - in checking in with the Webcam, we would find that she would be let into the group room for moments, jump and then be created for 30 minutes or more at a time - repeatedly. Meaning she would get minutes of free time per day to play or get energy out. This went on every time we checked until I finally contacted them to ask what was going on. I totally understand needing to separate dogs that create issues with the group, but she was there for 10+ days and this went on every day. SHe was getting little to no interaction, just punishment from what we observed. After communicating with the team there via email, I felt slightly more confident although still a little worried. While traveling home, we found out she had been in a scuffle with another dog and was at the vet ER. While serious, this was also downplayed. When we finally got to her 24 hours later, she was shaved, in a cone, with stitches all over and on pain meds. She has not been the same since :-( A few months later and we are seeing residual issues. Out of the blue she sometimes growls or lunges at people she knows (outside of our family) each time looking like she feels as though she needs to protext herself. These are people she had spent time with here and there before without issue. She needs more encouragement to be able to perform certain things (climbing stairs, going outside) than she ever needed before (to note, she is a rescue we had had for 10 months before she was attacked at Rovers). She is scared of more things than before, irrationally hiding at times from things she was previously used to (my child practicing an instrument, the sound of the garage opening). I don't know for certain what really happened, we were never really informed, but all in all my baby girl is showing signs of trauma she didn't have before. We feel so bad that we left her there, and certainly caution others to do the same.

I was going away on vacation and needed a pet sitter for my cat and parakeets…read more I honestly was very nervous to allow a stranger into my home and take care of my fur children.  I looked online and found that CCDD had extremely positive reviews (now I know why!!)   I reached out to Maureen (Owner) and expressed my concern.  She immediately put me at ease with her professionalism, caring nature and organization of the transaction. While I was away on my vacation Maureen was truly amazing.  I received daily texts with photos of the care that was given each day, including pictures of the freshly scooped litter boxes and filled food bowls with details of the daily findings.   Maureen truly goes out of her way to provide exceptional care to both my pets and my home!  During one of her visits a fire alarm battery had given out and was beeping.  Maureen immediately contacted me and took care of the beeping alarm as she was worried about my cat having to endure the constant beeping while I was gone.    I cannot recommend CCDD enough as Maureen truly cares about your pet and home!!  I highly recommend!!!!

HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!

I felt I could trust him and his staff to come into our house without us being home.

When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.
