What I especially like about Canines Unleashed is that on Fourth of July they play music to block out the fireworks, and the team members have beds directly in the area where they board the animals so that they are close by them.

The only reason for stars taken off is because my dog has come back home TWICE with worm related parasite illnesses. When I confronted them, they tried to assure me that the place is cleaned thoroughly. I attempted to let them know how the diseases are transmitted (as I work in veterinary medicine), but they only assured me they cleaned the area. Since there are cameras, it is apparent that they clean at the end of the day, but not fully when a dog pees or poops. This is how they are transmitted. They do not require your dog to be on any prevention either, which could also attribute to it since unfortunately some do not have their animals on prevention. I am so sad because a lot of the employees were so sweet to my girl and she always had a blast! :(

She texted us updates and sent pictures of our cat every day. Everything was neat and tidy, and we had a happy cat. We will use Sonya's services again! I felt extremely comfortable leaving a house key in her possession for the trips. We are extremely happy with the service provided and will 100% use Pet Pals in the future when needed. Thank you again for everything, Sonya. We really appreciate it.

Every stay has been consistently excellent. The staff is attentive, follows detailed care instructions, is experienced with giving medications, and genuinely cares for every cat. I love that they offer PICA-safe rooms with plenty of enrichment, playtime, and opportunities to watch birds and the outdoors through the windows. The pet cameras also give me so much peace of mind while I'm away, along with the email updates. If you're looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy place to board your cat, I can't recommend The Purring Parrot highly enough!

She has been rejected by other groomers and even mobile groomers, but Pet Beloved knew how to handle her reactivity, and did so with care and patience. Upon entering and signing in, they took her on a walk to let her get comfortable. They gradually built trust and also gave me a rundown of how short I would like her fur to be, as well as being transparent on how the matting for her poodle fur might cause the cut to be even shorter. I appreciated the headsup! Booking was easy and so was pickup. While it took longer than expected, they communicated with me and kept me updated, which is understandable knowing Onion's demeanor. Overall, very happy and would definitely recommend them!

Thanks so much for taking care of our furry kids twice in the past few months…read more Barbara goes out of her way to care for you little loved ones and she provided services on two occasions for us and our two cats, large dog, and turtle. She fed each pet twice a day and walked the dog twice a day (when requested - our trip schedule was complicated and we also had other help from a friend). She even played with the cats and bought them a toy. I definitely recommend. Her fees are very reasonable for the caring services she provides. Sadly I found Barbara late in our 4 year San Diego move, just before we moved away to Denver. Very sad that it took me so long to find her. She's wonderful, caring and goes out of her way for you and your pets. I very much recommend her if you need pet services while you're out of the house or out of town.

It took me a long time to finally find a cat groomer for my fluffy 1.5 year-old Persian cat,…read moreArthur. I chose Pampered Paws based on John's extensive experience with cats and the reviews on this page from other cat owners. It was Arthur's first professional grooming experience thus, I had no idea how he'd behave or how it would turn out. I took Arthur to John's residence where his pet grooming van is parked. John gives a 10% discount for coming to him which I thought was very generous of him. I'd gladly bring my kitty to him regardless. John was extremely patient and kept me updated as things progressed. It took 3.5 hours total because Arthur would only let John work on him if he was held on his lap as it helped him feel secured. It took a lot of TLC for Arthur to successfully receive his first grooming experience and not traumatized by it. John is simply a godsend. He's knowledgeable about cat behaviors which greatly helps when grooming stressed cats. He also cares about the anxieties of the pet owner and his clear as well as regular communication during the process made such a huge difference. I highly recommend John's awesome cat grooming service and look forward to the next visit! Thank you so much, John for such a great experience!

John went out of his way to schedule my two pups in even though he was extremely booked. I didn't…read moreeven expect or ask him to do this at all. I really appreciated this and it did not go unnoticed. This is my first experience with John let alone a mobile groomer or any groomer for that matter. I usually bathe my dogs myself and brush them daily but I was getting tired of all the hair around the house (vacuuming daily) and brushing daily yet they still had tangles (but they were still cute). Anyway, John took great care to make sure Lucy and Harley were comfortable. He gave them treats (he asked first if that was ok of course). John also sent me photos of them on text. I don't know if this is standard but he put "Happy Hoodies" on them and sent me a picture and text explaining what they were. He was also extremely considerate of my dogs reaction to the high velocity hose and let me know he was going to gentle dry them. Lucy and Harley look great and John was easy to work with. He was very receptive when I asked him to make small changes afterwards (they were very minor changes). Harley especially took to John and went back outside to the front porch to say goodbye to John at the front door. John is very kind and is passionate about what he does - I appreciate this and highly recommend him!

Finally feel like my dog's leader, thank you, Jessica!…read more My pup (German shepherd, 90 lbs, 1.5 yrs old) and I love our experience with Jessica! When we started, he was reactive to dogs and a nightmare on walks. Now? I'd trust anyone to walk him without getting dragged down the street. His obedience has improved dramatically, too. Even more surprising to me is that our communication is so much clearer. Now, I feel like my dog's leader, not just his handler. If you have a large, reactive dog and want a real partnership, not just commands, go see Jessica. We've got group sessions coming up, and I am so excited to watch my boy make friends and be fully and properly socialized.
