We LOVED Metro Pets! our doggy went at least 3 days a week. One day I picked him up, brought him…read morehome and found two HUGE puncture wounds on him. I had to bring him to the doctor, get an antibiotic and luckily he didn't need stitches. I called to tell them and they said they didn't know what happened and told me that they would get back to me after investigating and never did. Like I said, he went at least 3 days a week, knew him by name and he was so excited every time we pulled up. The way they handled the situation, didn't know what happened and never got back to me, was wrong and not how you conduct business. Was no one outside with them? They were HUGE bite marks. Now my doggy doesn't like bigger dogs and has a problem with dogs in general. It completely tramatized him and he is different which upsets me to no end because he was great with everybody. I worked to have him comfortable with all sizes of dogs and now he doesn't even like to be around them. I would not recommend this place.

I've been meaning to post a glowing review for Happy Tails Dog Sitting on Yelp for quite some time…read more Samantha and Norm are the BEST. She treats your dog as if he was her own and sends you daily updates (via email or text) with pictures, reassuring you that your dog is in great hands and doing well. Most recently, my dog Prince stayed with her for a week - the longest he's been away from home - and his birthday fell during that stay. She baked him the most adorable doggie cake for me to take home to celebrate when I got back, and also got him a Prince crown cookie with his name on it and sent me pics of him in a party hat! He also got a solo walk to PetSmart with Norm to pick his own toy, and an egg for breakfast - one of his favorite foods to eat! I am always blown away by how caring and loving they are and it makes me feel so much better if and when I have to travel, knowing that Prince is in good hands! I adopted him when he was 4 years old, and he had been owner surrendered at a shelter so the thought of boarding him at a kennel just made me so upset. I found her on Yelp and Prince has stayed with her 3 times so far, and I can't say enough great things about Samantha and Norm. 100% recommend them to anyone who wants a home away from home for their dog while they're away. She even checks in periodically, especially right after the stay, to check in on my pup and make sure he's doing well! And the first few visits, she even provided a wonderful take home bag with toys and homemade treats for Prince. So incredibly sweet and well priced. And much better than the options I've seen on DogVacay, which can be $50-75/night for minimal supervision! I'll be back the next time I go out of town!

I really wanted to give Happy Tails a chance, but the complete lack of urgency and poor…read morecommunication made that impossible. I've been trying to plan for a week-long work trip at the beginning of May, followed some time in Europe, and needed to secure boarding. Over three days, I submitted multiple intake forms (in case the first didn't go through), sent texts, and called. There was no follow-up, no acknowledgment. Nothing. The only response I received was a single text saying they weren't accepting new boarders until May 1 and to fill out a request form...which I had already done multiple times. If you're too busy to take on new clients, that's completely understandable. But ignoring repeated outreach and sending a generic, unhelpful response isn't. Communication matters, especially when people are trying to make plans with real deadlines. They may be great with dogs, but based on this experience, I wouldn't rely on them if you expect professionalism or responsiveness.

Our daughter, Kelsey, purchased a Shepherd from Martha about 9 years ago. His name is Dante…read more Dante has been such a wonderful addition to our family that we decided to add one to our home. So in 2014 we brought Vader home. We have been so blessed with him. He is such a smart and sweet dog. So much so that we are bringing another Shepherd home sometime in mid to late March. His name will be Darth. Martha is always available if and when you need her or have questions. We contacted her because we realized that we had things to learn and felt like her experiences with Shepherds was the perfect place to go. So we brought Vader to Martha's place for 2 weeks of training. James is Martha's go to person and what she and James have done is absolutely amazing. I so wish I had contacted her 3+ years ago. The training was and is top notch. I wrote to Martha to give her this update. "I wanted to give you an update on Vader. Sunday we were out working on the chicken coop. Forrest and I were both in the coop and Vader was on the outside in our open yard. A neighbor came out with their 4 dogs. Normally Vader would take off and we would have to yell at him to come back and most of the time he wouldn't listen. He loves to play with the dogs but he never listens when we tell him to come back or stay. Back to the story... the couple started to play ball with the 4 dogs and we told Vader to lay down and stay. He never once moved. Didn't even try to go over there. He just sat and watched We could not believe it. Then on another occasion I was taking him out to fetch the ball. I did not have a leash on him. I told him heal over and over and he walked right beside me all the way down the hill into our yard. Never ever ever has anything like that happened. He normally would be jumping up and down trying to get the ball, etc. We are sooo happy with how things are going. We are still mastering the front door but it is so much better than it was. This part is on us, not Vader. So we will have 3 of her dogs and won't ever go anywhere else. It is like he went past toddler over night. I cannot tell you what this process is worth. We will do the same with Darth when the time is right. You are welcome to contact me anytime. Gaye Lynn Trusty

(Note: I decided to fix a couple of things about this review, but I don't know if the original…read morereview stays as it was so I'm copy-pasting it, with additional notes at the end. Sorry if that means you have to read the same info 2x) We purchased our little Bullitt in July of this year (2018). Martha was friendly and kind, and when we went to pick him up it was clear that he was familiar and comfortable with Martha, looking to her for cues and attention (but still happy to meet us and cuddle in my child's lap!). She did warn us as we were leaving with him that they had recently experienced an issue with ticks, and we did find a few on him during the ride home (and removed them all), but given the rural location of her property and the large fenced area in which we saw several of her beautiful, obviously well-cared-for dogs running free, it's hardly a surprise that a tick may show up once in a while! Our other dog has once or twice picked one up in the park behind our home; it happens in Texas (and in many other places). Bullitt did not have any parasites and passed his first vet exam (and all subsequent ones) with flying colors. Whatever problems others may have experienced in the past do not seem to be an issue any longer. Bullitt is now almost six months old and is just a fantastic dog! He's incredibly smart (housebroken within the first month!), very loving and affectionate, friendly but aloof with strangers, playful and energetic, brave but not aggressive. Our neighbor who used to train dogs told us he's never seen a puppy with such a great temperament, and as anyone who knows dogs knows, temperament is largely a result of breeding. We are regularly stopped by strangers and asked where we got him; he is so incredibly handsome, and so great with people. We feel very lucky to have found Martha and to have Bullitt, and recommend Able K-9 very much to anyone looking to add a smart, loving, rock-solid GSD to their family. ADDITIONAL NOTES: I wanted to clarify my reasoning for originally only giving 4 stars. I felt then, and still feel, that communication could have been a little better. After my initial, very warm and friendly, conversation with Martha, I emailed her once or twice with questions, but didn't get a reply until she emailed me a picture of him at six weeks. She called me a week or so later and we had a lovely chat, where she answered ALL my questions and gave me lots of tips and info. Clearly she prefers to give info over the phone, which is fine, it was just a little disconcerting at the time. On reflection, I don't think it was fair of me to cut off a star for that, so I'm fixing the rating. Bullitt is almost eight months old now, and more fantastic by the day! We love him so much; he has added so much to our family. He is an absolute delight. I recently started working on his leash manners in the park nearby (we run and play in our big fenced back yard most of the time--he's a big, handsome boy, strong enough to almost pull me off my feet when we play tug-of-war!). By the end of the second walk, he was mostly staying right at my side, though he's still an excitable puppy who occasionally wants to dash off to smell something exciting, heh. The walk is only 1/8 mile, so that is not a lot. That's how smart he is, and how eager to please. We can't believe we got such a great dog at such a reasonable price--again, this is clearly a labor of love for Martha, not some kind of money-grubbing puppy mill operation. We're delighted with our wonderful little boy and the whole experience, and recommend Able K9 highly.

My girls love Rub My Belly Dog Care! They go twice a week to play with their friends. Ms. Deborah…read moretakes great care of them when they are at day care. They play and come home happy and tired. The day care is set up perfectly for the dogs. They have places to play inside and outside, dog beds, plenty of spots to sit by themselves too if they don't want to play that day (I have one who sometimes wants to sit on the couch by herself most of the day). The girls get groomed here on their regular days which is super convenient since it takes something off our list of things to do. Plus, I have one dog who is scared of the clippers, but she already trusts Ms. Deborah so she's doing better with grooming. We have done several boarding visits too. I love that the girls don't have to spend time in crates when we are away. Neither of my dogs does well in a crate. I know they are safe, well cared for, and being loved while we are away. I can't relax worrying about my dogs- so I really appreciate this. If you are looking for the newest, fanciest building in town for your dog to stay in. This isn't your place. If you're looking for the best care for day care, boarding, or grooming (and no crates) for your special little doggie, Rub My Belly is the right place!
