Very reasonable fee based on the over and above service he provides) Jacob is fabulous. I cannot recommend any higher. If you love your family pet, this is your guy!!!!!!! When we returned he left us a nice note, flowers and printed and framed photo of our cat! He's THE BEST!!!!

Finding Robyn, the owner of Gentle Genes Pet Care, has been an absolute game changer for us. Our…read morelittle Shih Tzu-Poodle mix has always been terrified of groomers -- shaking, crying, and clearly stressed the entire time. It broke our hearts. From the very first visit with Robyn, everything changed. She provides a truly personalized, calm, and loving experience. Our pup is never locked in a kennel or stuck in a loud room full of dogs while waiting for her appointment or pickup. Instead, she's cared for in a peaceful environment where she feels safe. Robyn's patience, gentleness, and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We can finally take our dog to the groomer without anxiety -- and that alone is priceless. If you have a sensitive or nervous pet, I truly can't recommend Gentle Genes Pet Care enough.

He gives her medicine every morning, which is very important for our 19 year old kitty. It's also reassuring that he's at our house once a day while we're traveling, and he takes the bins out for trash day. It puts our minds at ease. He also has a really great backup cat sitter in case he's ever traveling, and he's also very good and reliable. They've come through in a pinch when we had to make last minute travel plans, and we were so relieved to know we didn't have to worry about our girl!

We couldn't recommend Doggy Lama Pet Care more, what a wonderful organization. Molly and all the…read moreemployees are amazing. Their pricing is more than reasonable, and the services are the best. Molly was recommended by a friend as "the dog whisperer" and that is correct. We have a little senior guy who loves other doggo's but doesn't have any teeth to defend himself, so it has been really difficult to find a boarder for him to be safe. Even having friends who he is familiar with staying at the house hasn't worked out. Insert Doggy Lama. We did a trial run of boarding with Molly, and he passed so we were able to schedule a weeklong vacation knowing he would have the best time. He got to hang out with some other senior dogs and have long walks in the wilderness and lots of doggo time. Molly kept us posted daily with pictures of our little man being a dog. The experience way outperformed expectations. We are working to sign our guy up for some walking adventures throughout the week. Go see Doggy Lama for all your needs.

When Wilma first started going to Molly, she was a shy and timid pup who wasn't comfortable being off leash. Over time, with Molly's patience and care (and the help of Fabrizzio and the other amazing walkers), Wilma has grown so much in confidence. She now happily runs with the pack (with a long lead) and adores her boarding stays with Molly. I think she's sad when she leaves! We're so grateful for Doggy Lama and the great care and service they provide. It truly feels like Wilma is part of a second family. We can't recommend Doggy Lama enough!

On top of that, she is cool with coming every other day which saves me a ton of money. I suspect I will be using Fetch! Pet Care's services for a long long time.

No hesitation, no tail tucked and honestly, she barely acknowledges my existence the moment we walk through the door. When they take her to the back, she doesn't even look over her shoulder. Not one dramatic goodbye glance. I'm starting to think she likes them more than us. The photo updates don't help either she's grinning ear to ear like she's on an all-inclusive vacation. I'm pretty sure she's made a few friends, possibly even joined a secret dog club. At this point, I'm convinced she doesn't miss us at all, which I guess means she's having a fantastic time. Highly recommend!

When I pulled up a younger male (long hair) was a bit standoffish and looked at me like I was insane asking if I could come check the facility out. I honestly felt like I was being shamed for so much as asking to come see where she would be after I dropped her off or meet any staff. I guess we are supposed to hand off our dogs through the car window on a rather busy street, to a virtual stranger? No lobby or anything? He said I could look at pictures online, but I have never had a boarding or daycare place gate keep their space like that.

That tells me everything I need to know about how he's treated here. One of the best parts is that play time is included at no extra charge--no nickel-and-diming for giving the dogs the exercise and fun they deserve. The boarding rates are also very affordable, which makes it easy to book without stressing about the cost. Rick, the owner, is incredibly flexible and easy to work with. Whether I've needed to adjust drop-off times or extend a stay last minute, he's always accommodating and friendly. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs and the people who love them.
