We have used this pet sitting service 3x in the last 3 months and couldn't be happier…read more We struggled trying to find someone on short notice (the BF isn't a planner), but we were thankful to find this company. The initial interview with Nadia was informative ( our cats did not behave, but that didn't deter the service). She explained all of the services that would be provided and provided us with the magnet card for the fridge. This was to be used for scanning in and out of the house. You need to log into your account to see the time stamp in and out and the standard information of the pet care. The website is easy to navigate! Our sitter, Hannah, is awesome and she sends daily updates along with the picture of our allusive babies (they are hiders, but this last visit they finally came out to say HI!). I think Hannah was super stoked to get the rare sighting of our Tuxedo Man, as he's not fond of strangers. You could tell by email she was elated! She has crawled under beds to try to capture these two and we thank her for that! She lays out their toys so she knows if they are coming out while she's away and that's comforting to know. She also hides treats around the house to make sure they are coming out as well. On our first trip away, it was just a long weekend, but it's hard to leave your fur babies, we arrived to a clean litter box, food and water full, and the floor free from litter (cat owners know this is no easy feat). When we were gone on another vacation, the snow--apocalypse happened in Raleigh. Four Paws contacted us immediately regarding the weather. They kept us up to date about the status of the roads. Since we just have cats, we didn't want anyone to risk too much by driving, since these babies don't have to be let out and other animals may have needed that attention more., so we told them that if it was too dangerous to not risk it and just try again the next day. They continued to update us and did make it to the house safe and sound. We even told her to not stay the full time just to make sure she was safe. Hannah's emails are funny and written just as how I picture she talks. We enjoy these little tid bits as we are enjoying vacations away from the babies. I really like the services that we have received and they will be booked soon for another vacation we have planned next month!

Unreliable & Disorganized…read more We're new to the area and I needed to find a new pet sitter to cover a planned weekend trip next month. I originally reached out to Four Paws based on good reviews I saw here, but unfortunately had a very frustrating experience instead. Firstly, before being willing to discuss anything they demanded that I make an account on their website and then fill out an extremely lengthy profile. Then, a day or so later, they emailed to ask for specifics for our trip and said they'd be arranging a visit with our sitter, which I answered that same day. Then, after a lull in communication, I got another email asking for the same information I'd provided previously. I provided it again and, again, nothing happened. Finally, having wasted over a week with their cumbersome process and these communication difficulties, I emailed again to ask what was going on... only to get an email back saying their only pet sitter in this area was on maternity leave for the next month and that they couldn't help me - something that they should have know days and days earlier. Now I will have to scramble to find some other arrangements, causing a lot of needless stress and anxiety and possibly putting our plans in jeopardy. They did offer some suggestions of other pet sitters in the area to use, but to those reading this - save yourself a lot of hassle and headache and just pick someone else. UPDATE: The business has responded below by posting private emails including my email address out of context, but only the last set of emails, ignoring the fact that they seem to have lost the first set, and then accused me of lying. I deeply regret giving them any personal information in the first place and would strongly encourage others not to do so.

They really pay attention to his individual needs...meds, food, etc. They even send a report card home with him so you know how he ate and pooped, etc. Especially like that they are so covid concerned that they gave him a bath when he first arrived. Love that they don't hesitate to call with questions to make sure they have his needs straight. Meds at night? With food? etc. Truly appreciate these gals for all they have done for my pup. And the prices are so reasonable for the care they give. Highly recommend!

Most groomers are not familiar with the breed, which I understand ... but no one even wanted to learn and attempt bathing my dog. Susan brought her years of expertise (and her kindness) to help me with my dog, who now looks like a show Puli ! All of the ladies here are so welcoming and nice. You can tell they truly care about the animals coming in. The reason I even went in is because I saw SO many dogs coming out with the most professional looking "teddy bear" cuts I'd seen around ! Can't wait for my new poodle to get this cut when he's older. Thank you Canine Country Club !!!

Buzzy's is the Best Doggy Camp on Planet Earth! We've been bringing our dogs here for years now and…read morehave had our Labrador Retrievers stay with Joan & Buzzy (Joan's Irish Setter) for as long as 3 months at a time while we have had to be away on business. We have never had a problem and feel completely comfortable leaving our 'kids' there. Joan sends us a short video of our pups each day so that we can see they are having A BALL while we are missing them from far away. Joan does a great job watching after the dogs. She is a friendly and wonderful person. I can't imagine being more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. And the property is beautiful! Joan only takes in a limited number of dogs at any one time (I think the number is 6 or 8) so each dog gets plenty of attention. The sleeping quarters are clean and each dog has a large area to relax in. Outside there is a HUGE fenced in area that used to be used for horses that the dogs now use to run and play with each other. It's tough to judge a dog camp the first time you see it. Everything may look great and you may have read a review or have been referred by a friend, but you never really know. Its only on the second visit that you get a real indication as to how well the a dog camp treats its guests and you get that indication FROM YOUR DOG. Nowadays we can't get within a half mile of Buzzy's before our dog starts jumping around and singing excitedly in the back of our truck. In short, our dog LOVES to visit Buzzy's Bark-n-Run! Then at the end of the visit I think our pup is actually disappointed to see us when we show up to pick her up! The bottom line is that dogs don't want to leave Buzzy's! This may be the easiest Five Star Review I've ever written for Yelp.

We and our dog had a wonderful experience with Buzzy's Bark-N-Run Dog Camp. The owner, Joan, is…read moreknowledgeable and very caring about all the animals at the farm. Her understanding of dogs is amazing--she was able to correctly assess the personality of our Roxie within two minutes of meeting her--and when Roxie seemed stressed at night, Joan was able to find a solution that calmed her and made her a happier camper. Joan also helped to reduce our stress by giving us text updates and sending us videos of Roxie romping with other campers. After looking at other boarding places with metal crates on concrete floors in giant warehouses, seeing Buzzy's immediately felt like coming home, with fields of green grass for Roxie to run on, and chickens and donkeys for her to watch and bark at. (So, I guess Roxie did fulfill both parts of the "bark" and "run" promise of the camp.) Joan is no-nonsense, the way you want in someone caring for your loved pet...but she is also obviously in love with all the creatures on her farm. Roxie came home happy, healthy, and worn-out. We are thrilled to have found Buzzy's, and we will definitely be boarding Roxie here again.

Expectations. It's a word that carries enormous capacity for failure and misunderstanding…read more Especially when it comes to the care of our pets. Since moving to Raleigh, I have searched for a boarding facility that my three dogs (two Great Danes and a Pitty) would love as much as 'the puppy fun place' in California. I need for them to be happy as well as receive great care. I travel for work fairly frequently and my desire is for them to be excited about where they go. But above all I need to have confidence that if something happens to one of them while in boarding, that they will receive the same care that I would give them myself. Edgewood Farm Kennel has exceeded every expectation that I could possibly have. It is an immaculate, beautiful facility in a stunning location. My circus are so excited to get to Edgewood, there's a race for who gets out of the van first and through the door. They recognise where they are as soon as we hit the lane. Stacy, Evan, Matt and the team treat each dog as though they are their own. It is truly a home away from home. I can wholeheartedly recommend Edgewood Farm Kennel to anyone who has been accused of having 'unrealistic expectations'. You absolutely do not! You should have high expectations for your pets care. Edgewood can and will meet your expectations. But don't take my word for it, ask Scouse, Finn & Vela!

Our dog has been groomed at Edgewood for the last two years. Tiffany has always listened closely to what I have to say about the style and length of Charlie's coat. I have always had a chance to speak with Tiffany when the grooming is done and have never been disappointed with her work. Charlie has spent several nights in the Edgewood Kennel. In addition to having covered runs, the kennel has a huge fenced natural area where dogs can run around. Charlie has always been happy and healthy at the end of his stay. Edgewood insists that each dog has received all of the required vaccinations. As an owner, I am required to provide updated documentation from my local veterinarian. The owners and staff of Edgewood care deeply about dogs and think of them as family, They monitor them closely and do everything possible to ensure that they are well cared for. I recommend them without hesitation.

After reading some solid reviews of the Ansede Animal Hospital on Google, I took my new kitty to…read moreDr. Ansede for his first vet visit and was pleased with my experience. Everybody was very warm and friendly and the process of checking in was quite efficient. As with most great veterinarians, Dr. Ansede has calming hands that put the little guy at ease. The nurses were also very patient with my squirmy kitten (and me for not being able to keep him still). Ansede offers this Feline Promise program that is a great deal for young kittens. Check their website for more details, but basically it covers all of the necessary shots and other tests for the first year of your cat's life. They also offer spay/neuter procedures at a very decent price (~ $80 for the procedure and pain meds). I may have hit the jackpot with this vet. So far so awesome!
