Pawsitively Golden Pet Care's Twilight overnights was exactly the service I needed to provide me…read morethe peace of mind I needed while traveling in Europe for 2 weeks. Katy and MaKayla provided wonderful care for my two golden retrievers, keeping me consistently updated on their activities and playing/walking them more than they even get when I'm at home with them. I could tell by the updates that the girls genuinely loved my dogs and appreciated their unique personalities, which was such a comfort as I have a very difficult time leaving them! They even went "frog hunting" with the pups every night in the backyard. I came home after two weeks to a spotless house, and they even bathed the dogs while I was away. I also appreciated that with this service comes advance scheduling, coverage for cancellations, etc., all that you can't get with a Rover sitter and what I couldn't take a risk on with such a big trip. I can't recommend this service enough and will definitely be using them again!

Not only did help me raise the funds by sharing my fundraiser, she grew to love both my dogs. I never leave the house unless my boyfriend is home because my dog has separation anxiety and destroys the house. The new dog has grown severely attached to me, I assume from whatever trauma he faced on the streets. The new one is not crate trained and screams and soils himself if you put him in one. I have a lot of medical conditions that I used to have to cancel appointments for if I my boyfriend was out of town for work. Now I am able to call PGPC and they sit with my boys for the hour I'm gone and make sure they are safe! I honestly would be lost with out them.

They allow the dogs to rest around lunch when at daycare. Very affordable and we love they always remember our pup and are happy to see our guy. You feel like a family member not just a $$$. I love that they let the dogs be dogs. It's just a great place! P.S. We tried a couple other places in Wilmington and it wasn't a good fit. Over priced and snooty people = not a good fit!

Amber, the owner of CFPS, had written a promotional post about her business on Facebook. I was quite impressed with what she had to say, so I reached out to her for cat care. It turned out that currently, she only serves the Carolina Beach area. However, Amber had been training her husband David to provide pet care as well. When Amber and David came to our house for kitty orientation, I immediately felt comfortable in their presence. So did Rex, who collapsed to the floor at their feet, demanding a tummy rub! David did an exceptional job with our pets and home. He sent me texts and photos daily. When my husband and I arrived back home, everything was done as we asked....mail collected, fresh water, adequate food level.....and David even swept around the litter boxes. So, when we went to Italy this spring, I hired David again. Once again, we were very pleased with the service that he provided.

I took my dog in for a dental cleaning with a written estimate of $539.99. When I arrived for the…read moreappointment, the total had jumped to as much as $656.97 because of a fecal test (apparently due since April) and a heartworm test -- neither of which was ever communicated to me between the estimate and the appointment. Both were things I would have agreed to with notice, but springing them on me the day of, after I'd planned around the original estimate, is not how a well-run practice operates. The lack of communication continued through discharge. My dog came out of general anesthesia and the tech who released him didn't verbally review feeding instructions or what to monitor for overnight -- it was only in the packet. At my previous vet, the veterinarian personally called after a dental to let me know how it went; here, I didn't hear from the vet at all. The results of the heartworm and fecal tests weren't reviewed with me either, even though the whole purpose of the heartworm test was to clear my dog for his flea/tick prevention refill -- I had to ask about both the result and the medication myself. One more practical note: they're consistently booked out at least two weeks. If your pet has an urgent issue, don't expect to get in quickly. The care itself wasn't incompetent, but for the premium they charge, the communication and follow-through were well below what I'd expect. I won't be bringing my pets back.

Like most puppies, he's full of energy and excited to play. He was scheduled for a half day with a bath before pickup, but due to a change in my schedule, I called around noon to request that he stay for a full day. The staff member I spoke with asked if I wanted him to go back outside with the other dogs or be placed in a separate room to avoid getting dirty again. I clearly stated that I wanted him to return to daycare for more playtime, and that I didn't mind if he got dirty. However, when my boyfriend picked him up, we learned that he had instead been left alone in a room for nearly six hours without going outside or having access go to the bathroom. This is extremely concerning. Not only was my request disregarded, but my puppy was also neglected during his time there. Like many dog owners, my puppy is a beloved part of my family, and I trusted this facility to provide safe care. Unfortunately, that trust was broken. I hope this feedback encourages the staff to take better accountability moving forward, so that no other pet has to experience the same.
