When my job changed to in-office work, I needed to find doggy daycare for my golden retriever, DB…read moreCooper. He'd only ever been with me and an occasional dog walker, and I knew a full day alone wouldn't be good for him. Then I found Mary Ellen's "Wag Along Pet Care" - a doggy daycare run out of her home. They also offer overnight boarding, which is a huge bonus since my new job requires travel. Wag Along has become Cooper's true home-away-from-home, and that's exactly what I wanted-- not some kennel tucked into a light-industrial office complex. Drop-off and pick-up are a snap, with a predictable routine that puts both of us at ease. But the best part? Mary Ellen is some kind of magical dog whisperer. Every time I pick Cooper up, the dogs in her care are all calm and content. Since starting at Wag Along, Cooper has begun wagging his tail in his sleep, something I'd never seen before. Wag Along, indeed! He's even learned to use a doggy door, which is no small feat for a dog who's reluctant to jump into new things. And Mary Ellen sends daily photos or videos, whether he's playing in the yard or lounging on the couch. Cooper has been at Wag Along for both daycare and boarding, and the experience has been wonderful. Mary Ellen is flexible, kind, professional, and obviously gifted with dogs. Cooper always comes home happy and tired... the sign of a truly great day.

This review is delayed, but I never forgot the stress and horrors Mary Ellen put me through. I had a delayed flight, and she threw a fit that I would be unable to pick up my dog in the afternoon, as originally planned, but instead that I would pick my dog up first thing in the morning. When I showed up in the morning, Mary Ellen was outside organizing her recycling and refused to make eye contact with me, or say hello. My dog, she was locked in a kennel outside the gate with all her stuff. Immediately I noticed my dog had some white sticky goo on her backside, and when I got home I immediately bathed her. When I texted Mary Ellen to ask what that was, she said it was sap. I'm not even sure if she has a tree in her backyard. I worried (and still do) that something terrible had happened to my dog. And then, she had the gall to text me back and say I owed her an extra $25!!! Exhausted and stressed, and having seen how unstable and temperamental she is, I paid her in order to not deal with her anymore. Please note - the prices on her website are not accurate. There's a handful of negative reviews on her Yelp and Google reviews. These reviews are consistent outlining her cruel behavior to pet owners entrusting their dogs in her care, and lack of patience and respect - this woman is not well. Please consider that only because the negative reviews are few, doesn't mean they're not true.

This is a long overdue review. Also, I think this is more like a thank-you letter to Jen than a…read morereview. As many others have stated, Jen is amazing. Our dog, Shaka, just loved spending time with her and the other pups she cared for. We were a little worried at first about his temperament being around others (humans and other animals) since he gets a little skittish, but he seemed to thrive there. When it was pick-up time, he was always happy and seemed to sleep very well from getting his exercise and socialize in. (He also smelled great on his longer stays. Thank you for the baths!) Jen is super flexible and communicative. We were so appreciative of this since we tend be rather spontaneous and would ask to drop him off the day before sometimes. We also would extend his stay last minute, for example, when we were taking road trips and wanted to stop for the night instead of driving all the way through a town. (Sorry and thank you so much, Jen!) Shaka has stayed over from one day to two weeks (possibly more), and each time, we've received text updates from her and even pictures of him happy with his friends. I always looked forward to those. Shaka passed away early last year, and I've been meaning to write this for a long time to say, "Thank you, Jen!" for being such a wonderful caregiver and trustworthy and friendly person overall. Dog parents, I 1000% recommend Jen.

She is covered in hair and dead skin. I don't know what they are thinking but it is not a $75 haircut. They told me 1-2 hrs and I had to call after 5 hours. I had been bringing her to Bark Zone for at least 4-5 years and this never happened until they hired a new staff. I will have to wash her now with enzyme shampoo to soothe her skin and clean her off. They also raised the prices and the girl that handed her off to me just looked at me with a blank stare. No explanation as to her state. No updates. No customer service skills. On the quick ride home my jeans were covered in dead skin and hair. Wtf. Never again.

Fifi and I were matched with Meredith. Together we chose the Board and Train Camp which included on-leash obedience level 1 and off-leash obedience 2.

I knew Fifi was in good hands and would be safe during her time away from me. Fifi was returned to me with a solid, SOLID, set of skills. She also is confident, brave and excited to join my daily excursions. We are able to understand each other's language and now we work together very easily.

More than that, though, she gave us suggestions and assistance with the other dogs, since they are part of the household and were part of Essie's needs.

I took my ragdoll cat, Isabella, to Cats in the City today for a tandem grooming appointment. I'm naturally an anxious person and have always done my own pet grooming because of trust issues, but this place completely put me at ease. The staff is incredibly professional and clearly knowledgeable about cat behavior. They walked me through the type of grooming Bella needed and explained their process, which was very reassuring. We dropped her off around 9:45 AM and received a text around noon letting us know she was ready. She got the full package: deshedding, teeth brushing, nail trim, bath, sanitary shave, and bib trim. They also email you a little report card of what occurred during the visit. Overall, a great experience and I feel really comfortable bringing her back.

I watched for about 5 minutes of this poor dog trashing, trying to bite, and being so reactive while the woman with the blonde braid and tan glasses kept pushing to perform services. They were actively trying to get away and bite and you persisted. It wasn't even my dog and I so heart broken by how he was treated. Yelling at home and then trying to shout positive things to distract him wasn't the way to go. As a veterinary professional who works with highly reactive or anxious dog you should have stopped and let his parents know that he needs a break or possible something to help him be a bit more calm or something so that he doesn't associate you with such a negative memory.
