It seems like a lot of extra charges now and one of my dogs got hurt there. I know it was an accident because I witnessed her jump up on the park bench in the front waiting area and her leg went through it because there was no cushion on the bench. I ended up having to pay $200 for my vet to look at it and do x rays. Luckily it wasn't broken, but I feel like a simple precaution could have prevented it. Whenever I would pick up my dogs lately, they would be so nervous and acted like the couldn't wait to get out of there. I'm wondering what is going on there that I don't know about. They would also reek when I got them back, so I doubt there is very much cleaning going on there. I really hope they can improve.

Customers beware prior to booking your dogs here. Communication was terrible before, during & at…read morepick up. Picked up Sunday 10/20, on Monday I noticed Lunas ear was puffy & full of fluid. A hematoma I believe. I wouldn't know if anything happened at boarding bc I was given no update at all if she played with any dogs, alone etc. photo of her ear below. She's never had anything like this happen before in 2 years. She is seeing a vet soon today is Tuesday 10/22. I asked for 3 days for an update on my foster dogs whom boarded here and once I did get an update it was snarky from Christy the owner (text below) . I've used boarding facilities before & the facility has always been kind and happy to provide an update every couple days & they are very busy facilities as well. When I picked them up besides Lunas allergy medication nothing was removed from their bags as indicated at drop off, their treat balls for their kennels were still full with the same treats and none from the treat bag had been used. At pick up I was handed both wild excited to see me dogs at the same time & they are both very strong dogs, & before I could get spun around with their leashes thinking I would be provided an update Christy had went back into the office. No greeting of hello, goodbye, zilch. There are many boarding facility's to choose from just do your homework before choosing one especially if you need to leave town for 10 days as I did. Dogs seemed fine at pick up overall. This was the 2nd time they've boarded here (my fosters) and my experience prior was similar retaining to communication. I'm out of town for Christmas from 12/24-12/26 and found another wonderful place in lees summit to board my own dogs & fosters. Thank you Suzanne

We decided to reach out to KK's about having someone watch our dogs for the weekend and then transport them safely to wherever we needed. Rachael ended up being the person who watched our two dogs and she was FABULOUS!!! She set up a meet and greet with us a month before the wedding so that our dogs could meet her in our home where they felt safe. She was immediately so warm, kind and all about our two dogs!! They LOVED her! The weekend of our wedding, she came to our home to pick them up at our designated time while we were at the rehearsal dinner and she sent us photos of them safely at her house where they were playing and having so much fun. The day of the wedding she communicated with us about her whereabouts and even arrived super early to the destination- so prompt and punctual. We actually ended up moving locations for photos due to high wind/weather and she was super accommodating and never once made us feel bad about having to move where she was already parked. She had the dogs dressed in their wedding attire and kept them super safe and secure while we were taking photos. It's a tall task to ask of someone when dogs get really over stimulated as they were pulling a lot and she handled it with pure grace!! She dropped them off on Sunday after we were able to make it home and the dogs were tuckered out from her keeping them busy- she even took them to get ice cream after photos because they did such a good job. I honestly cannot recommend this company and Rachael enough!!!! This was the best decision we could have made and Rachael made us feel so comfortable with the entire weekend, we were never once worried about our precious kiddos. Thank you Team KK, and THANK YOU, Rachael!!! You were a blessing to our weekend. :) Love, Zack and Rebecca Pearson

Nail trim with a dremel finish, oatmeal bath, Furminator treatment and even a massage! His coat was like silk and his nails are now at a much healthier length ... I could tell that he was feeling pretty handsome!! I felt that Abby was very connected to the spirit of animals and she went above and beyond with Jack. You can just tell when someone has that "special" aura and she has it! I just really can't say enough about her and the great presence and reputation that On The Ball has in our community. I have also had him there for daycare and it's great. Lots of individual attention which I appreciate. As a side note, Jack went to Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center yesterday for his checkup and Dr. Carrier was most impressed with how he looked and felt ... Jacks fur is just beautiful after Abby's magic touch! He recommended that Jack go every month for grooming and that's exactly what I will be doing!

The place I'd used in the past was completely booked, and I started freaking out...until I called Deb's. Yes she had room for them, and yes, she'd love to have them. I actually spoke with her on the phone for 45 minutes and got a feel for the kind of person I was dealing with; a confident, competent expert who has a passion for animals. I dropped my boys off on the morning we left. I was nervous as all get out bc these two are absolute knuckleheads. They're very quirky dogs & the purebred can be extremely stand-offish. He generally trusts nobody except his family and their closest friends. He's a working dog, and his main job is protecting us, so I didn't know what to expect. Everything went very smoothly during drop off. The facility was nice & clean, staff was more than courteous, and there were quite a few dogs outside in the large play area. The dogs all seemed happy & well cared for. Deb came in and after meeting, she took full control & whisked my boys off. I discussed feeding & meds with the gentleman at the front counter, and off I went. I called to check on my dogs & the phone was answered immediately. Everything was great, they were spending equal amounts of time playing outside & relaxing. No issues. I was quite comfortable after speaking with the staff. They were in good hands. When we returned I was eager to pick up my knuckleheads. I arrived a bit after my scheduled 2pm appointment, but it definitely didn't seem to be an issue. Their things were in the waiting room packed up & ready to go. Then came the ultimate test; I'd be able to tell exactly how things went based on my older boys demeanor. We had a bad experience with another well known local kennel & there was no mistaking that he'd been treated poorly. Also he has always been apprehensive and just "out of it" for 2-3 days after boarding. None of that. Both dogs were happy as could be. They were bright eyed & bushy tailed! Ready to go home for sure, but super content. They were clean, well fed & rested. They even got baths before I picked them up. I don't even know how anyone got warmed up enough to my Heeler in such a short amount of time to actually give him a bath, but kudos!! Short version: Deb's Riverview Kennels is a great choice if you're looking to board your pets. In the past I've completely avoided boarding bc it just never worked out. Now that has changed & I'm thrilled that I have a place to "babysit" my boys. I'll definitely return, and I'll also refer them without hesitation. If they can please the knuckleheads, they can please me! Thank you Deb & staff!!

They are always available to take care of my furry fam, even at short notice. Not many sitters will watch ferrets, and they have done a great job with them. As Ferret parents know, ferrets can take a little extra care, and Latchkey Pets has shown me they can provide the necessary care and spend extra time with them. Knowing my fur babies are in good hands, I have always felt at ease when away. Their sitters are skilled, professional, personable, and polite. They send daily pictures of my pets, which is fantastic to see how they are doing, and they keep a detailed log of what was done each day. I have used them for daily visits and overnight stays. I can't recommend this group enough if you are looking for a pet sitter you can trust.

She gets nervous when people come into the home and I'm not there which makes pet sitting a challenge - so much so that she was fired as a client by the service I used in Chicago. Enter Newman's. Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.

This pet concierge service is Muttmama's passion!…read more In the last six months, I have used Muttmama concierge service continuously five days a week for noon-time let outs. This has made the dogs and the cat very happy and this owner very happy. I get an update on their status and, from time-to-time, pictures of them texted to me. Muttmama has been a pet taxi shuttling dogs and cats to the vet to the groomers. This service is important to me so my pets are not stuck in a kennel all day. I use Muttmama for many overnight stays when I travel. These are especially 'interesting' as I have a dog with special needs - his diet and medications are very regimented and my other option is to leave him with the vet. When I approached Muttmama about this and explained what needs to be done, when, and why, she understood and accepted the assignment without hesitation. Muttmama's helped me have peace of mind about my pets when traveling overnight.
