Our high energy hound mix Chani has used Jill's Pet Resort for over a year now. They ask that all…read moreyour pets are up to date on their vaccinations, and their prices are higher than at other pet care businesses in the area here, but the quality is well worth the extra $$. They separate dogs by temperament, so that high energy dogs like ours get to hang out with like-minded dogs instead of overwhelming the more laid-back ones - benefiting both the quieter pups and our very enthusiastic, very friendly buddy dog. The facility -scratch that- the resort looks amazing, inside and out - it honestly looks like anything a dog could want out of a doggy hotel, and honestly it looks better than a lot of human hotels, too! The first time I left my dog for boarding, I thought she'd be happy to see me, but she almost turned around and went back inside, lol Chani doesn't require a lot of grooming, so I can't speak personally on that account, but I usually get her nails trimmed there, and she always comes out looking her best. The people there are always positive and upbeat when I've gone, and you can tell they love their jobs and care about the pets they're entrusted with. They're my go-to when we go traveling, and the basic package is very reasonable and has everything you need to take care of your dog. They also have tons of fun add-ons (which can stack up when you're not looking, hehe) that let you make the experience that much better for your pup while you're away. Chani has boarded twice for several days each, and has gone typically about once or twice a month for socializing, grooming, nail trimming, fun, etc. I will continue to use their services for as long as I'm in the area, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to have peace of mind when it comes to making sure their furry friends are taken care of.

My two dogs were boarded for the first time at this place for one week. The pet resort was very…read moreclean and smelled great upon entry. Check in was efficient after an employee took them back I never got any updates while I was away. It would seem to be an easy text to assure me that they were safe and doing well. A picture or two would have been welcomed. When I asked how they did the person taking my money said "fine". That s didn't settle for me. The price charged was a lot and I couldn't afford all the extras like play time with the other dogs for $20+ per day per dog so I could see them play on a camera. I thought that would be part of boarding. Not here. It is a beautiful building and location but I won't be bringing them to this place again unless they offer more services with boarding. And I had to pay a holiday bonus charge for 5 of the days for each dog.

Upon arrival to the grooming salon, Kristina was already irritated and informed me that because my…read moredog did not get along with other dogs she would have to rush through his grooming because there was a full schedule today. I informed her that it's okay if she can't dry him as he has never liked the blow dryer. She informed me that they would shave him "dirty" and then give him a bath to which I said what ever is easier for y'all. She calls us an hour later to pick up my dog. His haircut is so bad. He's got insane streaks, his legs, his tail, and his head are not shaved. We were charged 89$ for my dog to look like Frankenstein. I have taken my dog there for about 8 years on and off , however this last year things have really changed with this salon. He used to have no issue having his nails cut and after going to this salon he will not even let us touch his feet ( which everyone knows what that means). However until today the salon has never returned him to me looking crazy or even wet for that matter. It was not until he was groomed by Kristina that things really escalated. The manager of the store did refund me for the haircut, which I appreciate, but morally I feel I have to leave this review. I think we all have to deal with difficult things at work, but most of us manage to still be a decent person and act with kindness. Especially when you are dealing with a senior animal). I wouldn't trust Kristina to shave a strangers leg let alone touch my dog again. My dog is high strung and loud, not aggressive what so ever, he does not like the blow dryer. I know this and always tell them it's okay if you cannot dry him completely , I would rather him be damp than stressed out. He is 9 years old and has hip dysplasia in one hip, all I ask is that his hair be cut for the summer. I'm disappointed but honestly I appreciate this experience because who knows what happens behind closed doors.

My wife and I have taken our two 12-year-old dogs to American Pet Resort since we moved to New Bern…read more2 years ago for both boarding and daycare services. Though expensive, we have had nothing but good experiences keeping our dogs with them until most recently. One of our dogs, a very social and well behaved West Highland terrier, was banned from spending any time with other dogs on the 2nd day of a 7-day stay after bitting another dog. He spent 6 out of the 7 days of our trip either in the kennel or, for some reason, the hallway outside the kennel while our other dog was in the kennel--a very strange decision given that he's great with our other dog. Why not have them in the same space? Though my Westie has never shown signs of violence or aggressiveness before, I realize the need for them to be careful and protect the other dogs, but no one at American Pet Resort contacted us to tell us what had occurred. We learned after looking at the online cameras. There we saw our Westie confined to his kennel while all the other dogs, including our second dog, were playing outside. Why didn't someone from the kennel call us to let us know? That kind of proactive communication is something I expect. I was none too pleased to find out what happened only after having to make a call to find out why our Westie was left alone in his kennel during outside time. While away, I made a call suggesting the staff place my Westie and my second dog in a separate outdoor space with one another. The staff member I spoke to said they would do so, but they only did so once. Our Westie spent the next 5 days out of our 7 day trip in either in his kennel or the hallway (?) just outside of the kennel, and has been banned from outdoor play with other dogs during future visits. We will make sure that there will be no future visits.

The only place I feel comfortable boarding my dogs. I know it may not be everyone's preference, but…read moreI prefer that they do not do any group play outside of same family (dogs that live/board together). Mainly for safety and cross contamination risks. Kennel cough can spread like wildfire and I don't want to risk my dog's health. And as much as my little dog may think he can run with the "big" dogs, he could easily get himself hurt in a group play setting. Dog's attitudes can change at the drop of a hat (especially in an environment that is not familiar) and god forbid my dog or any other goes Cujo out of fear or any other stress response. I know my dog is safe there and gets plenty of one on one love.
