    I called for an apt and left a message. I received a quick return call and was able to schedule an…read moreapt for my yorkie for the next day. The drop off was easy and they said it could take up to 4 hours. I recieved a text about 3.5 hours later that my pup was done. Deidra came recommended by a friend and she did such a good job! My dog is usually clawing her way away from the groomer to get to me and this time she barely noticed I was there. That was a good sign that she had a better experience than normal. Diedra gave her the best body cut we have had and was able to do what has been fairly impossible in the past...she cut her nails all down really well!! The friend who recommended Diedra was a groomer and said "I trust her" and I can see why. We as owners do not know what goes on in the back, but fellow groomers do and that stamp of trust approval meant allot to this worried dog momma. I highly recommend Diedra and will be back! If you see this Diedra. Thank you for giving Gia and I a great grooming experience!

However, she love's Elizabeth who gets the job done without making my pup scared to come back. I also love Elizabeth's attention to detail ie handling yeasty paws and rugged claws after a trip to the farm. We feel very lucky to have a good groomer after losing Darcy. Darcy got my pup comfortable in the space young but Elizabeth keeps her currently content. There are other groomers we've had do walk in nails which is a service we love! I do think most are good but you'll have to try for yourself. Tip: if you need a groom but can't get into Lombard, Vancouver sometimes has openings. Best smelling soap ever in Vancouver.

    We recently brought our 8-month-old pup to the adolescent social sessions here and went in really…read morehopeful that it would be a fun, positive experience for him. On the positive side, the staff were consistently friendly, kind, and clearly care about the dogs. They created a welcoming environment, and we appreciated their kindness. Unfortunately, the experience itself didn't quite work out for us. Our dog is an intact male, and he ended up in a group with all females, one of whom had recently gone through a heat cycle. The facility allows females who have recently been in heat, but unfortunately their scent just isn't conducive to a group social setting like this, especially for young intact males. The first week this happened we assumed it was just a temporary challenge and gave it the benefit of the doubt, but the issue continued during our next session. The scent was simply too distracting for him- and even other females were distracted by the scent. Our dog who normally socializes well in other group settings, became too fixated and overstimulated for any type of learning or appropriate social interaction. We really tried to give this facility a fair shot and came back again hoping for a better experience, but ultimately our dog had to remain leashed the entire session time, which completely defeats the purpose of a social/play session. We have now found a facility with stricter guidelines around females in heat.

My baby means the world to me and I would seriously die if anything happens to him. My husbands friend told my husband about how he boards his dog at Sit Stay Fit so we decided to board Loki here as well while we were in Dallas. Jamie took such a good care of him and she sent me updates daily which was why I never worried. Im so happy we found out about Sit Stay Fit because i don't have to worry about where to board him when I travel and I know he'll be in good hands.

We came to think of Stephanie as our dog's "other mom" and I'm sure our dog felt the same way. It was a wonderful experience working with Stephanie and we felt 100% comfortable with our dog there, whether for the day or an extended absence. Could not possibly recommend enough.

After meeting Carrie and Stephanie, I knew I could rest easy and enjoy a vacation because Wally (our Boston Terrier) would be in good hands. They have sat him twice for us and I couldn't be more pleased. They deliver Wally home happy and exhausted from all the play. I love how professional they are - they screen the dogs they accept ahead of time so I don't have to worry about Wally being around an aggressive dog, they provide a folder filled with helpful information about their company, and I always knew we could reach them when we were away. Also, I give them extra kudos for being super flexible when I was pregnant. We asked that they take Wally while we stayed at the hospital for the baby's birth, although we weren't sure exactly which days that would be. They came over and picked him up when I went into labor and they were totally cool when we asked that he stay on an extra day so our first night back would be a bit less stressful.

Unfortunately, the consultation led by Dr. Kristin Schafgans left us with serious concerns. Despite multiple clinical signs pointing toward a gastrointestinal issue, the focus of the visit--and the resulting diagnosis--was misdirected. This misinterpretation delayed meaningful follow-up and contributed to considerable suffering at the end of my dogs life. In her ultrasound report, Dr. Schafgans wrote: "There is concern for early kidney disease due to small kidneys with loss of corticomedullary distinction and an elevated cystatin B level," and listed differential diagnosis for my dog as "kidney disease versus leptospirosis versus other." Notably, GI disease was not even mentioned. While Lucy did have mild renal changes consistent with age, she had properly concentrated urine and normal creatinine. These findings do not support active or clinically significant kidney disease. Moreover, cystatin B is not a widely accepted or clinically validated diagnostic marker in veterinary medicine, making it a weak basis for excluding more likely causes. At the time of the ultrasound, Lucy's BUN had risen discordantly to 44 mg/dL, a pattern that strongly suggests upper GI bleeding. She also had low cholesterol (110 mg/dL) and borderline anemia (HCT 37%), both consistent with chronic GI blood loss or malabsorption. She had a history of bile vomiting, intermittent inappetence, and no clinical signs of kidney failure. The most reasonable and likely differential was a gastrointestinal process--yet GI disease was not acknowledged or investigated. The ultrasound itself lacked depth: the GI tract was dismissed in one vague sentence--"normal wall layering and wall thickness." There was no description of intestinal segments, lymph nodes, or mesenteric fat. Most concerning, the imaging was not sent to a board-certified radiologist for review. This is standard of care, and in my experience, radiologist interpretation is routinely included in the cost of ultrasounds performed by other veterinary internists. To make matters worse, we were never offered a direct conversation with Dr. Schafgans. The consultation was relayed entirely through our family vet. In hindsight, I used to think a direct discussion might have helped--but now I honestly don't know that it would have. The clinical reasoning was already far from the evidence in front of her. When Lucy was due for follow-up, we learned--without any advance notice--that Dr. Schafgans had gone out on personal leave. MOVES could not continue Lucy's care, and we were referred to a new internal medicine team. In contrast to the earlier misdirection, the second internist we saw was immediately suspicious of GI bleeding based on Lucy's lab patterns. That contrast only underscored how far off the initial assessment had been. The delay caused by the MOVES misdiagnosis proved costly. We now know Lucy had undiagnosed gastrointestinal cancer. She declined extremely rapidly over the course of one week in March 2025, and her final week was filled with pain, bleeding, and distress. Her death may not have been preventable, but the way it unfolded could have. If we would have had a clinically accurate workup by MOVES, it is very likely we could have had a peaceful goodbye with our dog before a catastrophic and deeply uncomfortable ulceration of her cancer happened. I understand that veterinary medicine is complex and that not every outcome is controllable. But Dr. Schafgans, as a board-certified internist, had the training and responsibility to follow the clinical evidence. She should have included GI disease in her differential, documented the ultrasound thoroughly, and involved a radiologist as a matter of standard care. None of that happened--and in my view, this level of oversight and diagnostic failure rises to the level of gross negligence. If your pet is facing anything medically complex, I urge you: seek a second opinion or work with a specialist who will meet with you personally and thinks critically. A board-certified title does not guarantee careful clinical reasoning. Lucy was deeply loved, and she deserved a better ending to her life.
