I felt really good about leaving him in her care while on my trip to Europe because he was so happy in her company! She sent pictures each day along with reports about his eating habits [which can be sketchy]. She even dealt with a problem with the smoke detector...over and above anything I would have expected. When I came home everything was in perfect shape, including Marley who did not scold me for leaving him behind!!! For several days after my return he ran to the door whenever it was opened to see if it could be Tammy. He will welcome her again in the near future!!! Thank you over and over again, Tammy. You have a true calling!

My furry family tells me all I need to know with their own "reviews" about her. As soon as she sets foot in the house, they all race to greet her!! Tammy has both practical good judgement and the gift of a spiritual connection with animals. One of my dogs has chronic digestive problems and he responds better to Tammy's gentle urging to eat his prescription food and take his medications than he does to me! Pat W.

I've had two sitters for my cat, Mango, from A Pause for Paws. These folks are great! I wouldn't…read morepay a friend this much, but I like the attention and flexibility this company offers. I travel for work, sometimes notified at the last minute, and it's so nice to know they're available for me (even if I do e-mail them after their requested 2-week prior window...oops). I appreciate that I'm left notes on each day the sitter visits, with details on Mango's behavior, the state of my apartment, and any concerns they might have that I can follow up on upon my return. From what I read, Mango loves the sitter! It's impressive to me because Mango is a very shy cat and very hesitant to go near strangers, especially anyone who is loud. My sitter, Lisa, must be sweet and soft-spoken for Mango to love her. I feel guilty about leaving Mango when I'm gone, but I'm put at ease by using a sitter. I don't have much experience with hiring pet sitters, but I don't think I could ask for a better one right now. She even sent me a handwritten thank you note for the tip I left her. Also, if you choose to go with APFP, follow them on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/APauseForPaws They post pictures of some of the pets they sit. It's great seeing how Mango is doing even when I'm 1,000+ miles away. All-around a great company, accommodating of my crazy schedule, and wonderful customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a petsitter.

We used the in-home boarding for our dog and our son's dog who we were watching at the time we took…read morea short trip. The boarders name was Lori and she was wonderful, and the dogs did fine at her house. I do not like boarding house dogs where they are kept in rows of kennels, so this was a great option. The reason I only gave this 3 stars is the price. They charge $36 a day PER DOG!! The last kennel we used gave a discount for a 2nd dog in the same family and I wish they would consider something like that. We dropped them off on a Thursday morning, had our daughter pick them up on Sunday at noon because they charge by the hour, and our bill was $259. I also tipped Lori $40 since she only gets a portion of what the company collects. Darn near cost as much as our hotel stay in Chicago for 3 nights! Janis

They always comment on my dogs. My last visit, I added a shampoo and brush out. They added an extra 5 dollar charge on my Aussi-corgi (Auggie). The groomer said she was heavily matted! I did bit know my dog was matted, because she looked fine! She explained that double coated dogs coats can "lay down" on the skin and create a layer of fur. This dog has had heat stroke issues for a few years now. After this grooming, and the removal of all the undercoat, she is cooling off properly! The groomer knows her stuff! Thank you! The boarding rates are the best in town. But with all the add one such as day play and walks, they are the same rates as everyone. Fair enough! My dogs love this place, and so do I.

My cat started…read morepeeing blood in November and took him in to Ehlers based on a friend's good experience with her two cats. I was scared and annoyed with how frustrating it was to have a cat peeing on everything, especially blood, and the doctor was very attentive and gentle with V (my cat.) He's had bad experiences with vets before and is very weary of others, but he did so well with her. Thank you for being patient with both of us. Over time, V became worse with rapid weight loss, not eating, puking and hiding. I knew that he was declining and took him in multiple times as well has talked to the vet techs and doctors via phone to try different things. They were very considerate and willing to try anything for him. Ultimately, I had to put my sweet boy down based on a possible cancer diagnosis and the doctors were so kind to us and very respectful of ur last moments together. I would recommend them to any pet owner. They care about what they do and care about you as a pet owner. So much so, that they gave me the sweetest little paw prints of my guy that I will cherish forever AND donated a tree to the Arbor Day Foundation in V's honor. Little did they know, he loved to be outside and roam that meant so much to me. Thank you all for caring for me and V so well.

The motel was given an hour heads-up upon my parents returning to pick up the dogs, to find their legs covered in door feces and soaked in urine. You couldn't even bother to help clean them up even once while they were there??? Their legs were matted with feces!! My parents gave contact information should there be any problems during the dog's stay, but they were never contacted. Upon pickup, the staff said they did great while there. My parents were in shock and rushed the dogs home to bathe immediately and feed as they hardly ate during their stay. My parents had to take the 15 year old, otherwise generally healthy, shitzu to the vet asap the next day as he was very lethargic and almost did not recover from the week's stay at Trude's. Maybe if your dog is large and spends a fair amount of time outdoors normally might you have a decent experience. You would think with a veterinarian on site that they would take more pride in their services. BE WARNED! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE IF YOU LOVE THEM!!! If I could give negative stars, I would.

I figured there would be a smell, we are talking about animals, but the stench of urine in the play area is so strong we barely lasted 10 minutes. I have never experienced this strong smell at the vets or the groomers. Perhaps better ventilation would help. Or more thorough cleanings? I'm not sure I do not know what they do to keep the place sanitary but it's not working. Upon arrival with our puppy and two kiddos, we were told right away that because we had children with us he could not play in a room with other dogs for liability reasons. This makes sense but we were not aware of this rule and honestly it defeats the purpose for us. We want him to have interaction with other dogs, but also to be able to be available to play and protect him. In fact, they recommend that children do not come at all. If you do venture here, I suggest bringing your own toys and possibly a bowl or some kind of way to give your pup a drink. They provide bags for picking up poop. There were a couple of balls in the room, but they were wet and disgusting. The staff we met were very kind, and I hate to leave a review like this, but we will not be back. They do offer babysitting and grooming and have self grooming stations. Tucked right off of O street near the Asian Community Center. You also must provide vaccination records before playing. The vet was able to fax it over right away for us.
