I cannot recommend their Grooming team, especially Megan enough. He's never looked better. My dog is a very specific bread so for them to know how to style his cuts, is great for me. I recently moved to the city, and honestly the 35 minute drive is STILL worth it!!! I would recommend grooming and boarding here 1 million times. Truly. Hats off to Amanda and the front office team.

My 6 month old dog is dead because I trusted Pawcienda. Please don't make the same mistake!…read more It has been too hard to type these words out, as I come to the reality of life without my best friend, Duke, our chocolate lab puppy who died due to an outbreak of Parainfluenza (aka Kennel Cough) at Pawcienda. Duke was at Pawcienda for training with Stephen, and also enrolled in the doggie day care. He was exposed to Parainfluenza from another dog at their doggie day care, but I was lead to believe it wasn't serious and that he should be fine in a few days. Before this he was a healthy dog and had all of his vaccinations. They weren't going to take him to the vet, but my wife made them! We now know that by law a kennel/boarding facility has to take a dog to the vet, so this was the first red flag! The vet realized it was bad and had turned into Pneumonia, so they rushed Duke to a critical care vet, VRCC. During this time I was on the phone with the owner, Jeff, and he told me that they had cases of Kennel Cough for 2 weeks! That means that this was going on before I even brought Duke to Pawcienda, and they placed their business above the welfare of my dog. If we had been made aware we could have prevented all of this! Duke died 2 days after we were made aware of him being exposed to Kennel Cough. This is very unusual, so an investigation by Animal Control was opened, and a Necropsy was performed. The findings of the Necropsy determined that Duke had Kennel cough for 4 - 6 days prior to death. This evidence proves that Duke was exposed much earlier than we were lead to believe. In addition during the investigation the animal control officer was informed that they had put up a sign alerting people to ongoing Kennel Cough on a Friday, and we were not notified until Monday. This along with the Necropsy results shows that he was there all weekend with Kennel Cough and either A) was not being monitored closely enough to recognize the signs, or B) they were negligent in not providing care to a sick dog early enough to prevent death. Since Duke's death we have found out that this is a serious outbreak of Kennel Cough, that has killed many dogs in NJ, and has now started to spread in Virginia. Please avoid having this happen to your dog, and avoid Pawcienda.

She has another greyhound friend to pal around with and the workers genuinely seem to love their jobs and all their furry friends. I love the ability to check in via the cameras on their app. And I think it's so cute that they have some downtime for a nice early afternoon nap. They offer 3 days of free daycare after you send your dog for a meet and greet which is ABOVE AND BEYOND any other daycare in the area. Will definitely be using Dogtopia for the foreseeable future.

I deeply regret bringing my dog to Holiday Barn Pet Resorts. During our stay, I noticed serious…read moreconcerns about the level of care and cleanliness. My dog became extremely ill after being boarded here, and sadly, we lost them shortly after. When I asked questions, I felt the staff was dismissive and not transparent about what happened. I also noticed several other dogs coughing during pickup, which raised serious concerns about possible illness spreading among pets. A close friend of mine used to work here and shared that some dogs were handled very rough but the owners son. Popping the dogs prong to rough, yanking them onto the grooming table, shoving them into the kennels, kicking them and more , which only makes me more concerned about what happened behind the scenes for my pup.

Additionally (more important to me) it was incredibly clean throughout the resort. The staff has a very organized way of ensuring your pet gets food they need that fits with their routine and also weighs your pet throughout the stay (BONUS: cat food is free). If I ever need to leave town again, I can rest assured that my cat would have a great place to stay here.

From day one, just the amount of effort that it takes to get in this place.. I knew this spot was the real deal. The tour I had to go on prior to bringing my baby almost took two hours!! They were so thorough and it made me feel comfortable about where I was leaving him. They also do an assessment of your dog in the form of a half day daycare visit to assess your dogs personality and ensure it's a good fit. While they don't do "report cards" here they post a massive amount of pics at the end of each day showing the dogs in action, which I look forward to! I am truly grateful for Gloria and her team and all that they do for our fur babies! Heads up..there's always a waitlist for new customers due to their growing popularity but it's so worth it!

Don't work here!! The owner of this establishment, Kelley, does not know how to communicate or…read moretreat people with disabilities. My son who has autism was hired here and despite him working hard and sweating with inadequate AC, she fired him before he even finished his 2nd week of training. She does not communicate and pretty much hid from me when I tried to speak with her about my son's hours and when he is expected to get off work since we need to schedule USURV rides and I alternatively drove 2 hours a day to drop him off and pick him up. She told him they work "to the standard", but when you take USURV rides which is a rideshare company for people with disabilities you have to schedule those rides 2 hours in advance. Her "working to the standard" had him getting off over an hour past his shift time which would not work when trying to schedule rides. All I wanted was a little communication to clarify when we could expect him to be off so that I could schedule his rides accordingly. Anyway, on his last day, she let him finish his entire shift and pushed his lunch all the way back to 1 hour before he got off, before firing him. Keeping in mind, the night before he worked 1 to 8, closed and got out over an hour late with still having to be there the next morning at 6:00 a.m. which meant coming from where we live we'd have to get up at 4:30 a.m. Her response to him was "I had to get up at 3:00 sometimes"..Well, she didn't have to get up at 3:00 a.m. the day she fired him. She came in at noon to do that. He tried so hard. He really loves animals and said this job made him feel like he knew who he was and he said the dogs needed him which is why he was so adamant about coming in the next morning with only 5 hours of sleep to be fired unbeknownst to him. A walkie-talkie clip that he was wearing because he didn't have a uniform yet kept falling from his shirt and she told him he would have to pay for it out of his check. I watched her ignore him when he tried to speak with her after he was fired (I didn't know he was fired yet at the time). She completely ignored him. It's already hard enough for a person with autism to communicate especially in difficult situations and she would even acknowledge him. She doesn't have compassion for people with disabilities how can she have it for dogs? I wouldn't drop a dead dog off at this facility. I wouldn't trust a dog in her care. I am so glad my son is gone and he does not have to work with people like that in such an awful place. This was his first job and a horrible first time work experience. I see that other people mention this in their reviews as well and as a lesson learned, I will make sure I read the reviews on future job prospects and their management before I send my child to work there.
