The rates for overnight boarding have gone up dramatically in the past year or so. Buyer beware…read more Also, there's a $10 per day surcharge for boarding dogs on holidays. When I boarded my two little dogs over the weekend I did not expect to be hit with $40 surcharges plus additional sales taxes. That was a surprise. The owner came out and explained that while it wasn't a holiday, it was winter break for schools so I was charged holiday rates for both nights for each dog. She was also defensive. She said her rates "are competitive" with other dog boarding facilities. A check of online websites showed me that her statement is not accurate. Camp Bow Wow's rates are higher. Some kennels charge more to board larger dogs, but at Camp Bow Wow we all pay the same rate even though my dogs are tiny. I've been a loyal customer for years. The staff has done well for my dogs. While I agree that good work should be compensated, but I disagree with the lack of notification. No one likes surprises. If you're planning to charge me holiday rates on non-holidays, you should tell me in advance or put in it writing on your website. That's only fair.

This is a great place to bring your dog for the most part. The staff truly care about the animals…read moreand are very communicative with owners about any issues. The owner seems like she honestly cares about the animals but she disregards many employee concerns. It is not an ideal place to work. Employees are often not communicated with until last minute about staying beyond their designated shift and they are asked to perform tasks well outside of their hired job description. For example, incubating and raising ducks and chickens inside the bathroom of the business. This also led to the heat lamp blowing from being left on all the time, and causing a small fire that was thankfully caught by another employee before it caused any damage to people, the dogs or the building. The ducks and chickens remained even after. The entire bathroom was virtually unusable as the ducks and chickens were allowed to roam around defecating on the floor.

I didn't find work for months. It was a terrible time. And I forgot about the debt because I was barely getting by. Now that I'm back on better ground, I paid my debt and requested a pet visits for my senior doxy. Paula declined and stated she informed a fellow pet service of my debt. It is her right to decline but purposely trying to sabotage me getting service from someone else is truly mean spirited.

When we arrived at the groomer they greeted us, expecting York. The check in was simple (I used a Groupon for the first time). I received a text in less than 3 hours that he was ready.

The last time I will EVER bring my animal there, was the worst. My poor dog... we picked her up after texts they wanted to close early. The lady from the front who I've never seen there went back, was yelling at the dogs to move, she opened the door and I saw her push a dog. My dog ran out and urinated on herself and the floor. She's 3 and doesn't do that. I can't remember her last in house accident. She was also shaking and if you looked into her eyes, she looked like she was physically crying. I called the dog warden the next day to report them, and he said they already had open lawsuits and claims against this place. If you love your pet, keep them FAR away.

Jessica came to our house before the trip and we were able to show her everything she needed to know to care for our cats. We received a detailed description of the visit every day as well as photos of our cats. Several of them are literally some of the best photos we have of them! Although we already liked Jessica, what really made her stand out is when there was a large snow storm. Our tenant was supposed to shovel for us, but his car broke down and he couldn't even make it home that night. We told Jessica about the situation and that our cats would be ok for a day. She said she would be fine, came by anyhow, climbed her way through over a foot of snow, and then brushed it off saying it was not a problem and we shouldn't worry about it. Now, that is dedication! I'm so glad we have found Jessica/Empire Pet Care and will no longer worry about traveling and leaving our babies behind.
