I had used their services in the past and my wife and I were very pleased. They dog sitted my youngest Miniature Schnauzer (Cam Cam) about 2-3 years ago. It was only for a day, however, when we picked him up he was very happy so we definitely said that Texas Pet Resort were going to be our official dog boarders.
Recently, we had to leave in business trip for two weeks and we could not take our doggies with us. So, immediately contact Texas Pet Resort to make arrangements for them to take care of our babies during that time. When I originally spoke with Kamron, he stated they had two different type of boarding, standard indoor kennels with A/C and the Luxury VIP suites. We selected the standard indoor kennels since our dogs are indoor dogs. We brought their mobile kennels, their own bag of food (enough for 2.5 weeks), treats and with that, a note with all the instructions about them: when they get their treats and feeding their times. Cam Cam has a thyroid condition that requires to take oral medications on daily basis, so we left the medications as well, enough for their stay and some extra just in case.
Our dogs is like our kids, so do not be surprise when I say that while we were out, we regularly called to check how our babies were doing, how they were behaving, if Cam Cam was getting his medications, etc and on each call, Kamron always very kindly replied that everything was fine and they were having a good time.
We were very excited to finally arrived to pick them up until... Where do I start... First, we ask the lady in the front desk about how everything went, when right away she complained that my dogs were chatty and always barking (They are dogs and they bark and they are a pet service business. It seemed out of the ordinary that you complain about barking). When she brought Cam Cam first, my wife immediately notice that our mobile kennel was dirty, dusty, covered with paint shavings and inside, they were bird poop. So we right away looked at each other, how was this possible if they were in a indoor kennel with A/C. We asked the lady about this and she first stated that the paint shavings was because they were painting the ceiling and when we inquire about if they were inside, she stated that they are indoor/outdoor kennels (Nope, that was not what I requested when I spoke with Kamron) She then left to bring our oldest dog and we saw same story with his kennel.
Then I asked about leftover food and treats, she left and brought the leftover treats and stated that the food ran out so they then started giving them the food they carry (Why no one told me about this when i called before, not that I was going to be able to bring more food but if that was the case, at least you could have told me in the many phone calls I made). I then asked for the medications cause I knew I left pills enough for the two weeks and extras, she then gave me the pill bottles and when I opened both of them, I could not believe it, almost all the pills were in there. That means that Cam Cam did not got his pills as prescribed and Kamron lied to me every time I called when I asked if he was taking his pills.
It is very sad that after paying over $500 for your services, the least you expect is for your babies to be taken care of properly that you provide the services you requested.
I always research ahead when I am going to require services for everything like I did for them in the past and just before I left them this time. Very good reviews online but now I am wondering if the reviews are about owners leaving their pets for just a day or two and not two weeks like us. Their reviews does not match to the service my doggies received. We are extremely disappointing with them and we definitely will not going to use their service again. read more
