Very nice place! Got my dog a bath there and it was perfect! Staff is friendly! Highly recommend.read more

Pets To Go has been our neighborhood pet store since we first landed in Elk Grove, and we've been…read morecoming here ever since they first opened their doors. At this point, the people who work here genuinely feel like extended family. One of the things that makes this place so special for us is that it's not just a quick shopping trip -- it's something my daughter looks forward to. Brooklyn loves visiting on the weekends because she gets to pet the cats that roam around the store, and if we're lucky she might get to hold a bird or spend time with a guinea pig or bunny. It's such a fun, hands-on experience for kids, and the staff is always kind and patient with her. Over the years we've purchased supplies for multiple pets here, and they've helped us through several additions to our little reptile family. I actually got my first crested gecko from them when they first opened, then my daughter picked out her beautiful fire orange crested gecko, Blossom, and most recently we brought home Peachy Pete -- our adorable little "frog butt" crested gecko (he lost his tail at some point before we got him, which somehow makes him even cuter). What keeps us coming back year after year is the consistency. Everyone is knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help without making you feel rushed or pressured. Whether we need food, habitat supplies, or advice, they take the time to make sure we leave confident. You can also tell they genuinely care about the animals themselves, which matters so much as a pet owner. It never feels transactional -- it feels like they want both the pets and the families to succeed. We almost always find what we need here, and honestly I'm so grateful they're right down the street from us because they've become such a trusted part of our routine. If you're looking for a local pet store where the staff is experienced, kind, and truly invested in helping you care for your animals, this place is a gem.

I've been going to The Serpentarium for a while now, and it's one of those places my daughter and I…read morekeep coming back to. We're usually stopping in to grab crickets or worms for our reptiles, but it's never just a quick in-and-out. Oh, and they sell pinhead crickets, which is the only place I have found that sells these tiny guys for my baby jumpers. There's always something new to look at, and a lot of times they have a reptile out, which makes it even more fun. The staff is incredibly nice and really takes their time, especially with kids. They'll answer questions, explain things in a way that actually makes sense, and if there's a reptile that can be handled, they'll let you interact with it. One thing I really appreciate is how knowledgeable they are. They don't just sell animals, they actually care about proper care. I even noticed they carry jumping spiders with the correct habitats set up, which you don't always see at other places. Helpful tip: If you have kids who are curious about reptiles, ask questions while you're there. The staff is great about explaining things and making it a fun learning experience. It's one of those local spots that feels both fun and educational, and we've honestly never had a bad experience here.

I've been to this store a few times after a friend recommended it, especially because I was…read moreinterested in investing a decent amount of money into reptiles and wanted to work with people who were knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I want to start by saying the women who work here have consistently been great. They are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and create a welcoming environment. They are the type of employees who make customers feel comfortable and respected. Unfortunately, my overall experience with this location has been disappointing from a customer service and business standpoint. On more than one occasion, I felt like I was not given the same level of attention or assistance as other customers. I felt overlooked and judged rather than welcomed, which is a terrible feeling to have when you are walking into a business ready to spend your money. During one visit, I also witnessed an interaction involving an older male employee with gauges that was very uncomfortable to watch. A customer was waiting for assistance at the counter, and instead of acknowledging her and helping her directly, he appeared to avoid assisting her and called another customer from behind her to help them first. Watching that interaction was frustrating because every customer deserves to be treated with basic respect and professionalism. I don't know the reason behind these interactions, and I won't assume someone's intentions. However, when customers repeatedly feel ignored, singled out, or treated differently, it creates an environment that does not feel welcoming. It can come across as unfair, and that is something a business should take seriously. I understand what it takes to run a business, and I know customer experience is everything. Customers are the foundation of any successful business, and every person who walks through the door should feel valued,not judged based on appearance, assumptions, or anything else. The women working here are a major positive and are the reason I still appreciate aspects of this store. However, based on my experiences, I cannot recommend this location. I would encourage people to visit other locations where the customer service and atmosphere are more consistently welcoming, respectful, and inclusive. Every customer deserves the same effort, the same respect, and the same level of service.
