Pam and her husband always take great care of my little Maltese mix. My dog was rescued from a…read moreshelter and was abused before animal control rescued him, which is why he doesn't easily trust people. He is also typically afraid of other dogs. By the time I came to pick him up from an over night stay at Pam's Pet Sitting, he was jumping in Pam's husband's lap and chasing the other dogs around the yard! I can always rest at ease whenever my dog is at Pam's. She also walks the dogs daily and makes sure they get plenty of exercise.

I got a new job and was in need of a dog walker. I heard about Pam so I thought I'd contact her…read moreabout my dogs. I met her and she seemed nice and all went well...that is until she presented me with a contract to sign. I know most dog daycare facilities have some sort of agreement to protect them from liability and I get that. However, when I wanted something added into the agreement stating that only Pam would give my dog medicine and that I didn't want her walked due to my dog's old age but she flat out refused. I wasn't sure why because it's not a big deal and I was ready to sign it and move on. If anything it provides security for me as a pet parent and also for her too. She just said she's take care of it and not to worry about it. Yeahhhh, sorry but that's not good enough for me. This should have been a red flag right there. I tried to ignore this but I couldn't get past that weird encounter so I had to take a hard pass on using her services. Eventually I was able to find another dog sitter for Molly who had no problem supporting my care plan for her. I hold no ill will towards her but because of my experience I can't recommend using Pam's dog daycare.

I find her rates to be completely reasonable, and I feel so much better not having to inconvenience friends with the burden. She's top notch!

This was the first…read moretime we were leaving our dog with someone who wasn't a friend or family, so we were a bit nervous going in. Elizabeth clearly knows her stuff, and took time to make sure we felt comfortable with a really helpful packet of information for us along with a short meet and greet visit at her home where our dog would be staying. Throughout the visit, Elizabeth kept us updated with texts, short videos and photos. When we picked up our dog, he was so happy and exhausted - almost like what you'd expect picking up a kid from sleep away camp. This was truly an exceptional experience for all of us, and we will definitely be reaching out to Elizabeth the next time we need a dog sitter!

Patti, or as I call her, the Dog Whisperer, is absolutely AMAZING with my two dogs…read more I leave for work early in the morning and the dogs used to spend a great deal of time home alone. My dogs started to, on a daily basis, have accidents in the house. Understandably, because they were home for so long without going out. Now that Patti walks them daily, they have a whole new personality and are much calmer and almost never have accidents. It really was the best thing I could have done for them! My job allows me to Work From Home on occasion. I always know when she is here because my dogs go crazy when they see her car. She really is the sweetest person and does a great job with the boys! She was the easiest and BEST decision I ever made! We just LOVE HER!

Since we lost our last elderly rescue, our former dog walkers had retired so we found Patti, who unlike others I had called, immediately got in touch with me and scheduled a "meet and greet" to see if she'd be a good fit for our house. I can't speak highly enough of her. She's caring, professional, definately has working knowledge of dog behavior and we can rely on her, even when we had to make a schedule change on short notice due to an unexpected work trip. Our Lab just loves her, and waits for her patiently as soon as she senses it's about "that time" (with the same precision as "it's dinnertime!"

However, I got this dog sweater from this location and thought maybe my dog would wear it once or twice for pics but never again. (I'm not a huge fan of dogs wearing clothes, but I had to admit a noticeable difference with my short-haired dog not shivering during winter months while wearing two separate coats. So I backed down on making fun of dog coats. My two larger, furrier dogs in prior years never needed manmade coats.) But this sweater is turning into a Linus blanket situation. I tried putting on a "Christmas" dog coat that matched her red Xmas collar (I love festive dog collars!!!), but it was white and getting dirty too quickly. I took it off to handwash it and put the Bark Place pink sweater on my dog solely for one walk, and she's been running away ever since when I try to take it off at night. At one point, she slid under one of the bar stools in my dining room, around the corner, ran into my bedroom and into her crate, flopping down sideways. Even if you don't need anything else in Bark Place, take note of the dog clothes. A bunch of my relatives crochet and knit, so I already knew the dog sweater was solid quality but expected it to wear. It still looks brand new, and my dog is glued to it. When I take it off to bathe her or what I *think* is comfier to sleep at night, she growls and leaps for it. I think a pink sweater and a red bow collar clash, but she couldn't care less about me being the fashion police. I'm tickled by how much she likes THIS particular sweater but has never ever been this into any other dog clothes gift (that I usually return) in four straight years. Don't sleep on the dog sweaters, I guess, unless you're my own dog who will turn over sideways so she CAN sleep in hers.
