    My boys returning home from The Paw Pad. Imagine a boxer exhausted. We love this place!
    Shelly G.

    The Paw Pad is the best facility I have ever seen. My boys love plying here. The staff are clearly dog lovers and very enthusiastic to greet the boys. Maverick and Dakota always sleep for hours when they get home. What a treat for them.

    Very disappointed. Took my doodle here last week and paid $150 for them to barley trim his hair. It appears they didn't even touch his face (which is my biggest concern so he can see). This is a photo of all the hair I cut off of his face alone myself. I called to see if they would work with me on pricing since I wasn't happy with my pups cut and they said there was nothing they could do. $150 for the bare minimum is quite steep if you ask me. I've taken him to previous groomers that do 100x better (sanitize cut, ear trim, and face shaping) for half the price. Probably will not return to this groomer.

    What we ask for

    We brought our two Maltipoos to Paw Pad this week. We have used this groomer previous with good outcome. However, this time, one of our pups got a good haircut. The other was butchered as shown in the attached photos. The first photo is what Charlie generally looks like after grooming. The srcond is what they did to him. We will never step foot in Paw Pad again.

    Thank you guys so much for taking such good care of Herman and Lily Munster on Thanksgiving day. We really appreciate you!!!

    See all

    Love that they get a lot of play time when they board and can watch them on the cameras play with the other dogs.

I finally was able to relax and enjoy a trip without worrying. Thanks Top Dog and Natalie for taking such good of my two goof balls! Let me say as an employee as well I put faith in all the ladies I work with. Shannon and the team did not let me down! They are all top notch! If a fellow employee can recommend them based on their own experience you have nothing to lose except the worry!

Luna was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in June of 2025 and now takes medication twice daily. If left at home with her sister cats she would not get her medication due to hiding when the caretaker entered the house. We booked a two week stay at the Scratching Post while we traveled. I thought she would hide her whole time at the Inn, but to our surprise it was the opposite. During our daily updates we learned after the first 2 days of being shy she opened up to the staff. She enjoyed spending time with them, petting, scratches and followed them around, the word velcro kitty was used one day. She was very well taken care of during her stay. She is already scheduled for another stay at the Inn.

It didn't workout for our normal sitters so I started researching places to leave my precious kitten. When I say they take fantastic care of your cat/kitten I feel that is an understatement. I would not hesitate to take her back. I highly recommend them. They only take care of cats so I felt that was a much less stressful situation instead of leaving them next to dogs. Even the rooms they keep them in are so much better than cages you see at other places. No cages here! They have little townhomes, standard suite or deluxe suite. I chose standard since I didn't think she needed the bigger room since it was just her. They also update you with pics and how their day went. If you can't tell I was incredibly pleased with this place.

    I've been meaning to post a glowing review for Happy Tails Dog Sitting on Yelp for quite some time…read more Samantha and Norm are the BEST. She treats your dog as if he was her own and sends you daily updates (via email or text) with pictures, reassuring you that your dog is in great hands and doing well. Most recently, my dog Prince stayed with her for a week - the longest he's been away from home - and his birthday fell during that stay. She baked him the most adorable doggie cake for me to take home to celebrate when I got back, and also got him a Prince crown cookie with his name on it and sent me pics of him in a party hat! He also got a solo walk to PetSmart with Norm to pick his own toy, and an egg for breakfast - one of his favorite foods to eat! I am always blown away by how caring and loving they are and it makes me feel so much better if and when I have to travel, knowing that Prince is in good hands! I adopted him when he was 4 years old, and he had been owner surrendered at a shelter so the thought of boarding him at a kennel just made me so upset. I found her on Yelp and Prince has stayed with her 3 times so far, and I can't say enough great things about Samantha and Norm. 100% recommend them to anyone who wants a home away from home for their dog while they're away. She even checks in periodically, especially right after the stay, to check in on my pup and make sure he's doing well! And the first few visits, she even provided a wonderful take home bag with toys and homemade treats for Prince. So incredibly sweet and well priced. And much better than the options I've seen on DogVacay, which can be $50-75/night for minimal supervision! I'll be back the next time I go out of town!

    I really wanted to give Happy Tails a chance, but the complete lack of urgency and poor…read morecommunication made that impossible. I've been trying to plan for a week-long work trip at the beginning of May, followed some time in Europe, and needed to secure boarding. Over three days, I submitted multiple intake forms (in case the first didn't go through), sent texts, and called. There was no follow-up, no acknowledgment. Nothing. The only response I received was a single text saying they weren't accepting new boarders until May 1 and to fill out a request form...which I had already done multiple times. If you're too busy to take on new clients, that's completely understandable. But ignoring repeated outreach and sending a generic, unhelpful response isn't. Communication matters, especially when people are trying to make plans with real deadlines. They may be great with dogs, but based on this experience, I wouldn't rely on them if you expect professionalism or responsiveness.

After dealing with…read moreunprofessionalism from the workers and concerns about cleanliness, I spoke with the owner and felt somewhat more comfortable sending my dog back for her third week. However, when I picked her up on Monday, she had puncture wounds that they claimed were caused by the prong collar, which is completely unacceptable. We took her to the emergency vet, where we were told this was the second dog this week from their program with the same type of injury. Please don't make the same mistake I did by trusting them with your dog. It's scary to think they still have dogs in their care. They are not nearly as professional as they claim to be. The owner's response is unacceptable. Had I known my dog was in pain for five days while the prong collar was still being used incorrectly, I would've picked her up immediately. Calling an open wound like this "minor" is beyond wrong, she lost fur and skin. If they weren't properly trained to use the collar, that should've been made clear. This isn't about money, it's about preventing other dogs from suffering.

He is incredibly smart, compassionate, and truly understands that every dog is unique. He tailored the training specifically to our dog's needs, using a very gentle yet highly effective approach. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with -- it's not a one-size-fits-all method, and that made all the difference. Our dog responded so well to Justin and his training methods. On top of his excellent training skills, he's also a fantastic dog photographer! He captured some beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. (I included some pics he took in this review!) I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled trainer. We would definitely work with him again if ever needed. 10/10 recommend using him.

We were afraid to let them be in the same room together due to the size difference - when they were in the same room, it was basically gladiator warfare! We chose to board and train them together with Justin for two weeks while we went on an overseas trip. We were absolutely shocked at the progress Justin made with them in a few short days. The pups are totally integrated and we are all finally able to relax in the same room together. Until Justin came along, we were sure this was going to be a forever issue. Aside from the integration, Justin really listened to what our concerns were for training and was able to address each and get us moving in the right direction. He approaches training with love and always with the intention of strengthening your bond with your dog and teaching how to behave so that your dog can live it's best life and have as many adventures with you as possible. It's evident that Justin loves his work and loves and really gets to know each dog. We got great updates every day on how things were going and what he was working on with them. He's also an amazing photographer and we have so many gorgeous puppy portraits that he took. Best decision we ever made to use Justin and Modern Dog to help us with our boys. We just got them back yesterday and they are already more calm, having loads more fun and happy boys!
