We have only boarded our " senior " dog here a few times when we could not find a friend to watch…read morehim. Cooper is a Cockapoo & is almost 15 years old. He tends to get anxious in certain situations but I am happy to report he did exceptionally well at Mutterly Love. That is a great testament to the friendly, attentive staff. The facility is clean and well run. The best part is you can pay for ur pet to have a bath before you pick them up! Cooper always comes back smelling really good! I would not hesitate, call Mutterly Love today! I promise you your pup will be in good hands.

We've used Mutterly love to groom our golden doodle for about 1.5 yrs now. We go consistently every…read more6-8wk. They never were as good as his old groomer and frequently gave him patchy spots, especially around his legs and neck, but it was never enough to complain about. What motivated me to write this review was just today we pick our boy up from the groomer around 4pm and took him for a walk this evening. It was dark, and we were shocked to see when we came home all 4 of his paws were bloody. They trimmed the nails on all 4 paws past the quick. We called to tell them and to make sure the person who did his nail trimming knew they caused all 4 paws to bleed. The person we spoke with told us it is normal to cut to the quick and keep it short. They said this happens when "we don't keep up with his nails". But he had gone for grooming 6wks ago and walks about 2.5 miles every day. So his nails were not long to begin with. They told us to apply some Kwik stop to his nails and he would be good. They did not offer any compensation. They simply told us the who did his nails "usually does keep them short". I am not a groomer, so I cannot say if this is normal or not from a technical standpoint. I can only say in his nearly 5 years of being groomed, we've never experienced this before, and Mutterly Love seemed pretty convinced it was normal.

I pay for dog care for her to have fun with other dogs, not be bored and be exhausted when she comes home. Stay and obey delivers all three!!

Yelp) They charged…read moreme $38 for a day I had already paid for, then refused twice to give it back. I prepaid a seven day boarding package. We got home early, so I picked my dog up at 4:30 in the afternoon, two full days before the period I paid for ended. I asked for nothing back on the unused nights. I only wanted my dog. They charged me $38, because pickup was after 11 a.m. That afternoon was already inside the package I had paid for. They billed me a second time for a day I already owned, and kept payment for two nights of boarding they never had to provide. Sit with the arithmetic. If I had left my dog in their kennel overnight and collected him the next morning, I would have owed nothing. Because I came early and used less than I purchased, I owed $38. Less kennel time, less staff attention, bigger bill. No cost sits behind that number. The 11 a.m. charge exists to price a day nobody has paid for. They applied it to a day I had paid for. I did not come straight here. I asked at the counter and had the policy recited back to me while nobody opened my account. I put it in writing. Their operations manager called me, heard the whole thing, and said no. So be clear about what you are buying here. It is not kennel space. Boarding is a business you purchase on trust, because you are not there. What you are actually paying for is their judgment when something is unclear and you are not in the room. This was a thirty-eight dollar question that was not unclear at all. No cost to them, an obvious answer, a seven day customer on the other side of it, and two separate chances to get it right. They looked at all of that and kept the thirty-eight dollars. That was not the policy deciding. A person decided. I would rather not learn what that same judgment produces on a harder question.

I've used Heather as a trainer for all of my troublemakers over the years. She was able to get 2…read moreof my dog-aggressive dogs into dog groups off leash, which I never thought was possible. I've had them both in her agility classes following their training and they both had a lot of fun. The best part is that in her class if your dog acts up, everyone treats it like a learning experience and is totally respectful instead of making you feel like you've got the bad dog. I've tried other trainers in the past, and most of them are good at basic obedience, but I've never had anyone who is ACTUALLY able to correct and improve behavioral issues, and in fact, some of them have made them worse. Heather has always been completely honest in her assessments of my dogs and will honestly tell me if she thinks there is a limit to what she can do, unlike other trainers who will tell you they can fix every behavior. She is also very honest about the work I will need to put in to make sure they continue to behave after she's worked with them. I don't trust anyone else to care for my dogs when I have to board them. I know they will get attention, exercise, and be safely cared for while they are at BFA.
