Maks, our now seven year old Vizsla almost doesn't know the world without Katy. That means we've…read morebeen going back to this professional pet spoiler for almost seven years now. Katy runs the business out of her house which is a big plus - your dog spends his time in a house-with-the-backyard atmosphere instead of a sterile prison box of a pet hotels elsewhere. She keeps the number of dogs down to a reasonable few and she is flexible to the point of abuse - I feel the guilt of any numbers of times we had to extend Maks' stay for a day or two (or four months one difficult year) or change our plans midstream - and having Katy accommodate both our needs as well as our pets. At this point we view Katy and her family more as extended part of our family. When Maks goes to her he is really going to his "other family". I wish there are more business owners like Katy. If you have a dog that you consider as a part of your family, take my advice from a guy who has given Katy repeat business for over 300 weeks: drop off your pup with Katy. You will enjoy the experience as much as your pup. As a former business owner I know there is only one clear sign of a successful business and that's repeat customers - and we are one happy and quite repeating customer. For those of you who are new to dog ownership and pet boarding concepts: we were very nervous when we started using Katy - I remember worrying about "what happens to Maks when we drop him off" and remember watching Maks get super excited when he sees her and coming much tired when we pick him up. This initially sealed the deal for us, but over the years we learned to appreciate how Katy runs her business and used to wonder what on earth we would do if she decided to close her business - for her service to both our pet and us is without match. Little did we know that we would be the ones to move away and now wonder how we will find the new Katy where we are going. Remember: this professional pet spoiler doesn't offer pet pickups but offers almost any other dog service know to mankind. Our favorite happens to be the pawdicure :) Look at her website for more info and ignore how cheap her pricing is - she doesn't know she is giving away value that's pennies on the dollar.

My dog attended Camp-Run-A-Pup on and off for a little over a year, and unfortunately I can't…read morerecommend this business. As a dog owner who works long hours, I want to be confident that my dog is happy, well cared for, and gets enough exercise while I'm away. What has been most disappointing is the lack of transparency about my dog's day. There is no communication at all about how she is doing, whether she ate, how active she was, or any other basic updates that pet owners appreciate. The only visibility into the dogs' day comes from inconsistent Facebook group live videos, and there is no guarantee you even see your own dog. Whenever I have questions about my dog's experience or well-being, I have had to repeatedly follow up with management and the owners to get answers. When I reached out to discuss whether I wanted to continue my membership and increase my dog's attendance for her exercise regimen, I felt like asking for basic information about her experience was treated as an inconvenience rather than a reasonable request. That was frustrating and ultimately made me feel that my concerns as a customer weren't valued. I do want to recognize that the staff and drivers always seemed kind and genuinely caring toward the dogs. My concerns are not with them, but with the overall communication and customer experience. Better transparency and more proactive updates would go a long way toward building trust with pet owners.

When I began looking for a dog walker, I called a number of places because I needed services for my pup as soon as possible. The owner, Carla, called me back right away, scheduled an introductory meeting quickly, and my dog's walks began immediately thereafter. The prices are fair. Each Snappy Paws walker has been responsible and trustworthy. Moreover, Carla has always accommodated last minute requests for additional walks or schedule changes, even when it would have been reasonable to decline them. Most importantly, these walks help me keep my buddy happy and healthy, which makes my life better.
