They came over to my home, fed the cats and gave them attention, while also checking my mail and sweeping the floor. I am so grateful for their services. I had to call them last minute because my friend's roof on her house flew off and she couldn't watch my cats. Joann and Steve came to the rescue and assured me that the cats would be fine. I got daily updates and photos and when I came home, the cats were fine and my house was in order. I would highly recommend their services and will be using them next time I go traveling. Mahalo!!

Christina at Petco was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maddie. From the moment we arrived, she…read moretook the time to really listen and understand Maddie's specific needs, preferences, and sensitivities, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving her in her care. I asked that Maddie only receive a bath, blow dry, and nail trim (no haircut), and Christina followed every instruction perfectly, including using Maddie's special shampoo. Maddie came back looking beautiful! Extra fluffy, fresh, not matted at all, and most importantly, calm and in great spirits. What really stood out was Christina's kindness and genuine care. She took time to talk with me before and after the appointment, never made me feel rushed, and clearly treats the pets she works with like they're her own. The treats were such a sweet touch too! Thank you, Christina, for taking such great care of my girl!

This was a disappointing visit. I scheduled an appointment for 12:30 PM to have my two Frenchies…read moregroomed. When I called ahead, I specifically asked if there were any requirements or documentation needed, and I was told no because Hawaii does not require rabies documentation. When I arrived, they asked if my dog had any allergies, and I explained that he does not, but he does experience seizures occasionally. The woman at the counter with long hair and a ponytail spoke with the manager, and I was then informed they could not groom him because of the seizures. They asked if he was on medication, which he is, and whether the seizures were triggered by noise, which they are not. I explained they only happen every few months. While I understand policies are policies and I did not argue their decision, it was frustrating to find this out only after arriving for the appointment. The manager did provide me with a recommendation for another groomer, which I appreciated. The manager answered my questions and gave me options for types of trimmers that I could use at home. However, the customer service afterward was what truly disappointed me. I mentioned I no longer wanted my other dog groomed but was interested in purchasing nail trimmers. The manager asked an employee to assist me. The employee walked away, and I followed her, but then lost sight of where she went. I eventually found her sitting at the front of the store waiting for someone else to bring the item. When she finally acknowledged me, she simply said, "Oh, I'm waiting for them to bring it to me." The issue was not the wait itself, it was the lack of communication. I was left standing there confused, having to look for the employee, only to find her sitting down without ever telling me what was going on. Overall, this experience could have been handled much better with clearer communication and stronger customer service.

Vet suggested Tails, a friend suggested Tails, it's only 10 minutes away, so I inquired. We had to take her to a "meet and greet" for an assessment, and had to provide proof of vaccinations prior to the appointment, which I thought was a good sign. As expected our little bundle of nerves was recommended for their "Pet Success Plan" training to help her get used to the facility, staff, become more socialized. We were sent photos of her at the facility and given a "fun report" of her time there. There are webcams of the general areas that you can access online. A week of training and "Play Care" time and she was approved to board as a"non-social" dog. I was assured that she would have ample human interaction and because she was actually categorized as "semi-social" (she did improve with her training!), she'd still get some time with other dogs. (She may not want to interact, but needs some kind of companionship!) Dogs are placed with similar sized dogs only, which is good. You can view the play area which even has a wading pool for those that like to swim. Their boarding brochure is very thorough with feeding times, medication scenarios, food options/instructions, etc. You add everything to the booking online. They have set protocols to bring in your dog to keep the dogs apart. Sometimes it takes a while if several pup parents are dropping off or picking up their fur babies, but the protocols are good. we are comfortable that ours little one will do ok while we are away. They sell all kinds is snacks, food, toys, other supplies. This was our first time we utilized such services so I have nothing to compare it to. (Last time we boarded a different dog was 30 years ago...) I am giving a preliminary rating of 5 stars for all the visits and work the staff put in with our pup, pre-boarding. All the staff we interacted with knew her by name and how she did. All seemed to love dogs, gave suggestions, etc. Will update after we board her and see how she is when we pick her up. We are hopeful all will go very well with the prep she's had, our experiences to date, and the friendliness of the staff.

I know that she will always have reactivity but now I have a better grasp on how to de escalate the situation when she has her big feeling moments.
