I genuinely hate leaving negative reviews, but I would not trust this company with my pets again…read more Before booking, I was given a written, itemized quote stating that overnight care was $75/night and each 35-45 minute daytime drop-in was $35. For our September 1-3 trip, (which we are still on) I was specifically quoted: 2 overnights + 4 daytime drop-ins = $290 total. I booked based on that quote and with the understanding that my four dogs would receive two 35-45 minute daytime visits in addition to overnight care. Unfortunately, what I paid for and what my dogs actually received were two very different things. On September 1, my smart-lock records show the sitter arriving at 10:02 AM and leaving at 10:18 AM... approximately 16 minutes. The afternoon visit was 1:53 PM to 2:06 PM -- approximately 13 minutes. On September 2, the visit that was supposed to occur around 10 AM did not begin until 11:17 AM and ended at 11:24 AM -- approximately SEVEN minutes. These were not 35-45 minute visits that ran a few minutes short. One wasn't even a quarter of the minimum amount of time I was explicitly quoted and paid for. While I was already dealing with this, the overnight sitter was also approximately an hour and a half late. Then, despite receiving substantially LESS care than what I paid for, I was asked to pay an additional $75 because the owner failed to account for it when calculating my original quote. To be very clear: nothing about the care I requested had changed. I did not add another night, another visit, or additional services. The girl provided me with the original written, itemized quote, including the rates, number of overnights, number of drop-ins, deposit, remaining balance, and total. I agreed to and booked the service based on that quote. A business realizing afterward that it made a mistake calculating its own quote should not suddenly become the customer's financial responsibility... especially while that same customer is receiving significantly less care than what was promised and paid for. Unfortunately, the disorganization started before we even left. On August 25, after these dates had already been agreed upon, I was contacted and asked if I could find someone else to check on my dogs because she apparently could no longer accommodate care she had already committed to providing. Naturally, that sent me into a panic trying to figure out who was going to care for my animals while we were away. Then it turned out she had simply misread/mixed up her calendar. Mistakes happen. Someone being a few minutes late happens. But this was mistake after mistake involving scheduling, pricing, communication, and most importantly, the actual care my dogs received. These are my pets/my babies. When I am hundreds of miles away, I should not have to monitor my front-door history to determine whether the people I hired are actually showing up or whether they're staying for the amount of time I paid them to be there. If I pay $35 for a 35-45 minute drop-in, I expect my dogs to receive a 35-45 minute drop-in. Not 16 minutes. Not 13 minutes. And certainly not seven minutes. I have the original written quote as well as timestamped smart-lock records documenting the visits. Based on my experience, I absolutely cannot recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, consistent pet care and the peace of mind that the services they paid for will actually be provided.

Why We Keep Coming Back: * They stay in Pawville's "townhomes," which are super spacious and include both indoor and outdoor areas--perfect for comfort and play. * We genuinely look forward to the daily photos and email updates the staff sends. It means so much when we're traveling, especially during longer trips--it gives us peace of mind and keeps us connected to our pups. * The facility is clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. We were able to tour it before our first booking and felt totally comfortable leaving Ned and Bonita in their care. * Bonus: they offer a multi-pet discount, which is great when you're boarding more than one dog. It's clear the team at Pawville truly cares. We're so thankful to have found a place that treats our dogs like family!

By the 2nd day I noticed 1 of their beds was missing so I called and asked about it. They said one of the dogs pooped on the bed and had to be washed and they would put it back. Checked on the the next day both beds were gone! They weren't eating, I noticed they were not acting right either. Went to pick them up and our pit mix had red hot paws with blisters and a fever. She smelled like bleach! Not ever using pawville ever again! Nobody seemed happy to be there either working. Awful, awful!!!!​

We had a great experience with the staff and facility and felt confident in leaving him for longer. Two days into his stay we got a call that his rear leg was swollen and he needed to be taken to the vet. We asked them to proceed since we were out of town and couldn't get him there right away. Less than twelve hours later we had a diagnosis of a spider bite that then turned into a palm size necrosis and ended with a large open wound which required a week stay at the vet and then had to be treated daily for treatments and bandage changes for 6 weeks. $$$$. When I called to inform the owners, Ed and Joan of the diagnosis and treatment to come I was met with the most cold, careless response I could have ever imagined. There was no responsibility taken and they never once asked how they could help. Monetarily or otherwise. I am fully aware this could have happened anywhere, but the customer service at this place is less than ideal.

When the groomer showed up, I told her of 2 skin tags on my dog's body so that she would be careful not to hit them. She barely looked where I was pointing, so I should have seen that ad a red flag. My dog was returned with several cuts along his body, the biggest being on one of the skin tags I pointed out to her. While I understand that knicks can happen, he has been groomed for years and never had a groomer cut him this bad. I will never trust this company with my dog again.

It made our vacation easier to enjoy knowing all the animals were taken care of. Special thanks to Emilie for handling things so well!

I have had many pets over many years and have always encountered compassionate care whenever this inevitable decision had to be made. But this is the first time with Winder Animal Hospital and, somehow, they surpassed even the best experience I've ever had on an awful day. Compassion, warmth, and kindness were on the faces and in the behavior of every person there. I was given all the time and privacy I needed to say goodbye. They placed him in a beautiful box for me to take him home in to bury, gave me some of his fur, pawprints, and prints of his ears, nose, and mouth. I even got some very loving hugs, which I so desperately needed as I was alone. I know my cat was treated with the utmost respect and caring, both before and after. I will never go anywhere else. I can't thank the staff there, every single one, enough.

For over 10 years, we've always taken our dogs to a big-name grooming facility. But after this experience, we'll never go back. We found Morgan, and she is absolutely wonderful. She greeted our pups so kindly and made them feel completely comfortable before we even left. In the past, our pups would be at the groomer all day -- from opening until after closing -- and I'd still have to do a few touch-ups at home. Morgan had them done in just four hours, and they looked (and smelled!) amazing. Perfectly groomed, happy, and relaxed -- I think even they noticed how good they looked! If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your pups, call Morgan at Mud Puppy. She's kind, professional, and has a personality that makes dogs feel safe and secure. The shop is spotless and very clean, and the prices are fair. I'm so thankful we found Morgan -- she's definitely our new go-to groomer! Thank your again Morgan.!!!!
