    Doggy!

    Sniff Shack was a great option to board our fur baby for the day. I was able to watch him through their live cameras to ease my anxiety (it was his first time going to a day care). I would definitively recommend

    We did our first trial day, I wasn't sure how my dog would react to being there -- and she loved it! The staff is very friendly and I love that the dogs are always supervised. I also loved the web cams! it was fun watching my dog hanging out with other dogs in a safe space and fun environment. I will definitely be bringing my dog back to the sniff Schack!

    Our pup Swiper had the best first day at Sniff Shack! We were nervous as this was his first time in a daycare setting, but the staff was very kind and Swiper had a wonderful time. It was nice to be able to see him on the cameras throughout the day, staff was always present and attentive to the pups. He even cried as we left the parking lot. We loved his report card, what a cute and fun surprise! Thanks Sniff Shack!

    Sniff Shack is great! The live cameras and daily report card each day are a great touch. My roommate and told both take our dogs to Sniff Shack.

    Her first-day report card. Too cute!

    I just moved to the area and top of my list was finding a safe, happy daycare for my dog. I like to take her to daycare occasionally for additional socialization + it's good to have one as a back-up option for boarding as well. Sniff Shack was kind, helpful, and prompt in getting me set up for her "temperament test " and I was able to watch her whenever I wanted on the live cams. Such a fun distraction from work! She had a great time and even received a goodie bag + a report card on her first day. Olive will be visiting a lot! TL;DR: Prices are good, dogs seem happy and well-watched over, staff is friendly and kind, and the live cams are a fun plus.

    Rip Wheeler had his first day of daycare and he LOVED IT! I absolutely loved that I got to watch him on the cameras throughout the day and every time the staff was very attentive and he was happy as can be! Coming home Rip Wheeler was soo excited and ready to just relax for the night definitely plan to keep taking him back!! I also got a report card and a picture of him to hang on the fridge

    Updated review: Izzy has been going to the Sniff Shack since she was 4 months old. The Sniff Shack has been absolutely amazing to us the past two years. All I have to say is "Izzy, do you want to go to the Sniff Shack?" and her ears perk up and she goes straight for the door. She literally runs in every time we go. As we move to another state, I would just like to thank the entire staff for loving on little Izzy and taking such good care of her. We will miss you guys so much!! PS- Izzy says goodbye to her BFF- Ruthie Ninja Bader. I have been thrilled with the staff at Sniff Shack. My puppy Izzy has been going for about a month now. I love that they have video cameras so you can check in your pup when you miss her. I appreciate the daily report card they send you. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my pup and all the others. Izzy is always so excited when she gets there!

    I hate not being with my pup, but the sniff shack does a great job and make it as painless as possible! I love having the option of booking services online or by calling in. All of the associates I've dealt with have been friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They give me a report card on my pup each day and I'm able to peek in at her at anytime using their webcams. My dog comes back absolutely exhausted which is great after I've had a long day as well. She's been to three daycare sessions now and we ended up purchasing a 40 pack!

    CocoaPop LOVES his adventures at Sniff Shack! he runs up to the gate with his tail wagging a mile a minute and doesn't look back! He is a very social pup, only 11 lbs, that loves everyone he meets including humans and all dogs. he hasn't met a dog he doesn't like. He makes friends with dogs of all sizes and ages, thanks to Sniff Shack. This is a great place for socialization, playtime and sleepovers. we love that we can watch him playing on the free webcam. Other places we've been to charge to access the webcam. We especially enjoy the adorable report cards that tell us what he been doing and who is his new BFF for the day. Sniff Shack staff has always been welcoming to us and our pups. We had a previous pup that attended Sniff Shack that passed away at the age of 15 during COVID and the staff at Sniff Shack sent us a video of her that we had never seen with a very kind message that warmed our broken hearts. We highly recommend Sniff Shack to anyone looking for boarding or daycare!

    The sniff shack is AMAZING! We were anxious to board our dog for the first time but the trial went really well so we felt more confident. Staff checked in with us and gave updates when he had some digestion issues, which was greatly appreciated. We watch our pup on the cameras and the staff works with him so well (he is a rambunctious puppy). We always see them giving lots of pets and attention. Highly recommend!

We logged our service request in the website and then were sent an invoice a few days later. Thankfully I reviewed the invoice because it had overcharged us on a number of items. I sent the corrections back to Ruth, the owner of the company, and she thanked me for looking over the invoice. What confuses me though is this - If I spent all that time adding those services onto their horrendously confusing client portal, why would the services in the invoice be different? Seemed odd but I didn't really think much about it at this point. Ruth sent over the second invoice with the extra services removed. However, the price on this invoice was the same as the previous invoice - even though 3 services had been removed from the schedule. When I asked Ruth to give me a call to go over the invoice to explain the discrepancy and to ask questions about what some of the fees were for exactly, she shrugged off my question and just stated she had generated a new invoice. Again with mistakes and duplicate charges. At this point, I was getting uncomfortable with the number of mistakes occurring and the continual changes in fees being added that I once again asked for a call back to clarify some of the fees. She again responded by not addressing the question but rather declaring how she was helping us out by accommodating our service requests "on the fly." At this point, I was frustrated by her continual avoidance of my attempts to clarify the charges so I asked her once again to give me a call and let her know that my wife and I had attempted to call her MANY times over the past 4-5 days (about 12+ call attempts) to get some clarity on her services as well as fees since her website is so confusing and really doesn't provide much relevant details. She then responded by asking us to seek alternative services - once again, refusing to provide any clarity on her fees that seem to me to be redundant. See photo for her response to my email asking to clarify the fees. It's obvious that she does not want anyone questioning her fees. It also seems obvious, given that she provided 3 invoices and all 3 were incorrect, that she has no interest in being fair or providing honest answers about what she charges. She is looking for people to not look over their invoices and just overpay without question. Giving one star to this business is incredibly generous. If I could give 0, I would. Ruth, the owner of the business, is incredibly unprofessional and unresponsive. We made numerous attempts to call and email her but only received limited responses - basically just asking to pay up. Their website is hot garbage that provides little information and their client portal is even worse. Trying to book a service is a monumental task - let alone figuring out if you've done it correctly. Despite having a atrocious online digital presence, Ruth refuses to answer phone calls or call clients. I had used City Kitty once prior and was able to overlook their horrendous website that is hard to understand. I was also willing to ignore the incredibly confusing customer portal that makes it difficult to book services. But this lack of professionalism was pretty alarming. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from City Kitty Sitter (should be called Sh*tty Kitty Sitters). You can find better alternatives on Rover or other platforms that actually care about their customers.

    I would NEVER entrust Soshi (or Princess Xochitl as she calls herself), to be in care of my four…read morepets ever again, and would caution anyone considering doing so. Soshi was paid ahead of time and committed to coming for eight visits while I was out of town over an extended weekend. Come to find out at the end of my trip, that Soshi had opted to NOT show up for THREE of the visits she was supposed to come for and LIED about doing so. Beyond that, and more devastating, she left my dogs confined in the house, without relief or care for over 24 HOURS. It seems Soshi was naïve or clueless in thinking that all of her actions were not trackable through the security system. On February 10th, she entered my home at 8:19AM and didn't return until the next day, on February 11th, at 8:28AM. It's beyond heartbreaking, thinking about my poor dogs and what they were enduring during this time. On the day before, which she again chose to skip (February 9th), they were restricted in the house for a span of 14+ hours on two occasions. Now going back, she was texting me that she was 'on her way', but never entered the house and never took care of my pets that were trapped inside all day. I trusted Soshi being in my home and had her in my house on occasions prior to this. There were blunders with her back in August, where she clogged my toilet and had the cops sent to the house, from not disarming the alarm. I should have known better then and had verified she was actually coming when she said she was. In a clear reflection of her lack professionalism, Soshi continued to be deceitful about the situation along with being combative. Her indifference and carelessness is completely unfathomable. Her actions were not only neglectful, but boarding on abusive. How a woman like her is claiming to run a legitimate "Pet Sitting" business, yet lacks any compassion, is alarming. I just hope to save others from enduring a traumatic situation such as this.
