    Very disappointed with Lady's grooming this time! We couldn't even recognize who she was!…read moreWe asked for a teddy bear cut and she was returned looking like she was skinned. We are requesting that Sam who stated he was the new groomer manager NEVER groom her again. If groomer cannot fulfill the request at drop off, then a call should be made to allow owners determine if services should be continued. We have been coming for over a year, and this is the first time we encountered such poor service. Greatly disappointed and will post photos.

    ‼FUR BABY's HAS REVIEWS TURNED OFF ON THEIR PAGE, SO I DECIDED TO SHARE MY REVIEW HERE…read more Let me start by saying that we had used Fur Baby's services, on and off, for over two years. I was searching for a place for my french bulldog puppy to stay and socialize when he was younger and I was working long hours. He had several successful stays with them and even boarded with them before. In January, I had to go out of town for several days, and needed a place for my baby to stay. He is now a two year old, well adjusted pup, who has stayed and played in more than one playcare situation without issues. I dropped him off on a Thursday, healthy and happy. I got the call no pet owner wants to get on Friday morning... I could hear my dog in distress in the background as the staff member was trying to explain that he was "suddenly" in respiratory distress. He had been playing and "all of a sudden" seemed like he was struggling. I was in a panic, states away, as she was asking me what I would like her to do. It was tough to decide, only hearing and not seeing, the level of his condition by phone. She was about to offer him water, which is NOT something you should do when an frenchie is overheated and in distress. I asked her to keep him in a quiet space for a little bit and see if he was able to recover. She said she would call me back in about 30 minutes to see if he had improved. The next phone call I got was from an emergency vet, about 15 minutes later. Boulder was brought in (by the Fur Baby staff, without my knowledge), almost lifeless. According to the veterinary staff he was barely breathing and was turning blue. They called to get permission to intubate him in order to try to save his life. Over the next few hours I played phone tag with the vet as they told me the only thing that would save him was luck and prayers. Fortunately for us, the vet was top notch, and he was able to recover and eventually breathe on his own. We almost lost our happy, healthy 2 year old puppy....and we still don't know why. I know that my dog can overheat and struggle when he plays EXCESSIVELY for extended periods of time in very hot weather. He would have had to have been in distress and gone unnoticed for a considerable amount of time to end up in the condition he did. The women on the phone from Fur Baby's admitted that they know there were notes in his file that alerted staff to pay close attention, that he needed to limit his play time and level of play...but still, he ended up in distress. Although they refunded the remainder of the days he didn't stay (upon MY request), there was no other follow up to check on the welfare of my dog, no explanation or apology for what happened, and a very large vet bill to pay. Check the google reviews...other pet owners were not as fortunate and lost their dogs in similar unexplained incidents. I understand that issues arise, things happen, but please think carefully about putting your dog in a large "playcare" situation while you are away! Especially dogs that require expert care!

    Great service! We had to get a sitter last minute for a wedding and they set us up the day before…read more Sue was incredible with our little one and would definitely recommend to anyone by the New Jersey shore.

    As a mom of three under six who travels regularly with our kids, I'm used to working with agencies…read morein different places. This was the first time that the owner of the agency refused to provide a last name/resume/address/credentials/phone number/ANY VERIFIABLE INFORMATION for the sitter up front. She seemed to take it personally that I didn't take her word for it that her referral was flawless. But again, as a mom of three kids who travels regularly - I've learned the value in validating and doing a basic google search of the person I'm hoping to leave three small children with. On Monday, the owner wrote to me, "XX will reach out with a blocked call to introduce herself, if you miss her call, no worries, she will be there for you all on Saturday." I politely asked for a last name and a phone number, such that I could speak to her in advance of her standing in front of me and my kids before I leave to go to a wedding for six hours. The owner replied telling me no, I could not have any of that information because, "XX is very well established in our organization." Then she tried to push me by saying that there's only one other agency in the area and its not insured in NJ and is so large. This was consistent with the level of professionalism we experienced. By Wednesday morning, I still hadn't heard from the sitter or been given anything that I could independently verify. I emailed the owner to tell her this wouldn't work out. Magically, the sitter calls me within minutes of me hitting send and is now willing to make an exception and share her phone number. By this point (four days before the event), we have made other arrangements with someone willing to let me Google them in advance. This agency's sitters may all be amazing. But I've never once been told by an agency (or a competent babysitter, for that matter) that I can't see a copy of a sitter's CPR certificate, identification, or dated background check. In this day and age, we just can't take the chance and go with a "trust me, I run an agency" approach. Particularly when other reviews of this agency here and elsewhere indicate there have been issues of sitters not showing up or not being professional. The owner texted me to tell me that she would still charge us the sitter referral fee because she DID make a placement and it was my choice to cancel her. She and I have a different opinion on what a placement is - mine isn't "here is the first name of a person." She can keep the $20 though - seems like they need it more than we do. UPDATE: 10/25/2019 1) To re-iterate, we did NOT hire a babysitter and this is a review of the agency's policies, not the babysitter herself, since we found a different babysitter before this agency's sitter called us. 2) To be clear, the owner did not literally say "trust me, I run an agency." Instead, she argued that I did not need to see any supporting documents about the sitter (including her last name, a dated background check, or her phone number) because, as she literally texted to me, "I vet the sitter so clients don't have to." In three states and in five sitter agencies, I have always been sent more information and/or supporting documents or we have chosen not to use that baby-sitting agency. 3) The owner asserts that the babysitter called me several times and just did not leave a message. I do not believe this is true. 4) After texting me "as soon as you remove your yelp statement i will be happy to refund our 20.00 fee for scheduling n canceling a sitter," she did go ahead and refund the fee. To be clear, I did not request this refund. 5) The owner has told me multiple times by text message that she is contacting an attorney "in reference to slander and disrupting business on false pretenses."
