On 2/15, we went on our first vacation in 10yrs. We had trusted HA and chose to board our dog,…read moreJasper, there. On 2/20, roughly 50 dogs of various sizes, ages, and breeds were let out together before bed. Reputable facilities separate dogs at least by size for what should be obvious reasons. We were assured that bigs and smalls were separated, important to us bc Jasper had never been around small dogs, except at size separated dog parks, where he rushed the fence toward the smalls - despite what the owners say, they were aware of this. On 2/20, Jasper was showing signs of distress. His distress signals were ignored and he allegedly lashed out at a 10lb, 16y/o dog(why was a tiny senior out with 49 other dogs?). There were only 2 employees monitoring, 1 in training. idk what happened to Jasper at this time. It took 45 minutes for the injured dog to get to the ER vet (AERC). He did not survive. I am so sorry for their loss. This is a horrific tragedy, which could have been avoided had the facility acted properly. My heart is broken for them. HA said they were going to review the footage they had. HA had also told us that we needed to contact AERC. Multiple AERC staff told us the same thing: This is not Jasper's fault. This happened due to the negligence of HA. They also told me that HA had approved treatment and accepted responsibility for all financials. The staff who took the dog to AERC were evasive when AERC asked what happened. I was never contacted by any eyewitness about this - after trying to get the story from the owners, I turned to social media, and only yesterday felt I finally had a semi-complete picture. The extensive footage claim is a lie. Whatever happened, happened in a blind spot. We had a friend pick up Jasper ASAP, concerned for his safety. I had emailed HA with this info, and also that I would not be paying, given the situation. Jasper was given to our friend, but they didn't ask her name, let alone check ID. They said it was fine for her to go without paying. The owners have since threatened to file a claim for this, saying that my dog was safe and well-cared for during his stay, which I dispute. The friend who picked him up said that Jasper was timid, shaky, exhausted, and had a subconjunctival hemorrhage in his L eye. W/o of signs of infection, this generally occurs because of trauma. I'll never know what happened. As of this writing, his eye is still healing. The owners claim that we didn't tell them about Jasper and needing separation with small dogs, that we refused to pay the hospital bill - all lies. Anita told me explicitly that HA policy was to separate by size, and she told AERC the same thing. But I have found that it's common for the owners to allow undertrained staff to monitor packs of 50-60 dogs. You can see it on the stream. On 2/21, I took several screenshots of a small dog out in the yard with several large dogs. No staff. This dog wasn't the first to die while under their care. This is the SECOND time something like this has happened (this was confirmed by public safety officer). I have submitted a report to several agencies and animal welfare orgs. I believe that HA endangers dogs and staff through patterns of negligence, bullying, and lack of training. I have been in communication with DVMs and other animal professionals about this situation. When Anita responds to this with more lies, I'd like you to know I have receipts. Jasper is a dopey, loving, playful, athletic hound. I have never seen him display an ounce of aggression - I have two children under 5. I am an experienced dog owner. I have never seen him act out because I have never put him in a position where his distress became overwhelming. HA doesn't train staff, nor do they take accountability when they make mistakes. This isn't the first dog to die in their care, but I think it should be the last. I also wanted to shout out HA employee Katie E. Thank you for posting that review publicly, online, and in writing. I let Anita know how helpful it was in establishing a pattern of negligence and lying at HA.

I really appreciate that they require proof of fecal and vaccinations in their effort to provide the most healthy stay possible for the animals being boarded their. One of our dogs is on a boatload of very critical medications for pain relief and inflammation for a very bad back problem that surgery did not correct. The staff there are very conscientious about giving meds and making sure that food is offered in the correct amount. This last stay the staff kept in close touch with me because one of our pups decided not to eat very well. I can't begin to say how much I appreciate their communication with me about my dog's welfare while staying at the kennel. I also love that they have a variety of different kinds of kennels (if you can call them that!). My dogs stay in a suite with a bed, couch, TV and classical music to help calm them. Just fabulous!! I love getting the photo updates and the reports on how they are doing while I am away. I appreciate that, depending on your dog, they can participate in group play or have playtime all to themselves if they aren't a big fan of party time. (My dogs don't play well with others! LOL). The Resort offers activities such as brain games to help the dogs pass the time. My dogs love it! Each time I have picked up my dogs they are happy, clean, and healthy. Staff there are friendly and seem to care about the dogs left in their care. Expect to pay more for this level of service! And don't complain about the cost! Dogs are family. It's worth every penny to know my dogs are being loved on, cared for and pampered while I am away.

I returned to boarding my pups and using doggy day care last year (2022) and my new dachshund puppy LOVES it. My chihuahua always has loved it but now all I have to do is whisper "doggy day care" and they run around all excited! My only gripe is that the groomers are so busy I can rarely get a dog bathed at the end of a stay, but that's not a big deal. I like being able to watch them on the webcams, but if they're outside there's no camera. The staff are all knowledgeable and fun. The owner, John, has gone out of his way over the years to make sure I know my dogs are doing well!! He even texted me a picture a few years ago when I was unhappy my dogs were never on camera during a ten-day trip to Florida! What a gem.

Since it was the first time using her service, she met with us one night so she could get to know our dogs, ask questions about where we keep food, etc. One of our dogs in particular is a rescue dog and has a lot of social anxiety when meeting new people. I loved how patient Genevieve was with her and by the end of that first visit, both dogs had really warmed up to her. We did a couple of practice walks before we went out of town and both times I came home to a very thorough note about how the walk went, which was a really nice touch because having used other services before, I've often been left wondering if the dog walker came, what happened, etc. While we were out of town we had a couple of updates from her, letting us know the dogs were doing well. I worry a lot about the dogs when I'm away and it was really nice to not have to worry because I knew they were under great care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Genevieve's Pet Care!

Every other vet I have taken Victor to the staff hated him and were rude to me , including the animal hospital I used to work at.

Dr. King has been there for me and Victor, and I appreciate her more than I can write out. Another thing to note is that the team at this clinic does NOT push you to spay and neuter your pets when they're way too young, and since Victor is a show and competition dog, I will never be neutering him and actually plan to have him collected at this location some time soon. All in all I can't say enough about this clinic and the caring and knowledge team here.

I called around to about 8 different dog walkers and I thought the others were either over priced or they didn't return calls right away or other red flags. Molly has been nothing but my dog's favorite thing since day 1! She leaves me notes telling me if my pooch went to the bathroom, what they did, etc. Molly had to come by my new place to get keys and it was the first time in about a year that I saw them together. OMG- my dog l-o-v-e-s her. It was fun to see the bond that they now have after her visiting him about one time per week over a year.

The personal notes she leaves about how our dog did that day on the provided notepad is a nice touch. The flexibility to be able to cancel days via text or email with short notice because I'll be working from home, etc is also another bonus. Metro Pets was the only service we could find that would visit our house in the Camden area of North Minneapolis, so props to them for that. The only thing I wish they did different was how payments are made. You have to leave a week's worth of money out at your home at beginning of the week. If you don't pay in cash you get charged a 7.7% tax rate at end of the quarter. At $15/day or $900 every 3 months that comes to $70 in tax. We're leaving cash out right now, but it's inconvenient to remember to run to the ATM every Sunday night and remember to leave the envelope out.
