She sent lots of updates throughout the day and pics as well to go along. We picked them because of their experience with greyhounds, attention to detail and overall care for all of the dogs. She's very willing to work with us on scheduling and flexible for our needs, plus they're close to where we live so drop in visits are a breeze. They are a super sweet family and they really treat all animals like their own, they welcome them into their home with open arms! You won't be disappointed by choosing this family to watch over your fur babies! We will definitely be using Lake Norman Dog Sitting a lot in the future!!

They have implemented new charges for early drop off $20 (before 1pm) and late pick up $40 (after 11am)./ know for me when I'm going out of town for a weekend I want to leave before 1pm and it would be hard to get back on a Sunday by 11am to avoid the additional fees. I have been using Dry Pond for 5 years (since I got my dog). I even switched to their vet services. My loyalty to their business doesn't seem to matter to management. After talking to the staff they suggested I email Shannon Pierce, the owner. I did email her and now 5 days later I still have NOT gotten a response. Dry Pond is also implementing additional fees/charges called Peak Pricing $20 per DAY for: Spring Break & summer (Memorial Day thru Labor Day), Thanksgiving week & Christmas thru New Years. None of this is mentioned up front on their website. Clearly they don't appreciate my business.

I made an appointment five days earlier to get my Yorkie poodle bathed and groomed. I arrived at 10…read moream and filled out the paperwork as a new customer. They said there was an orientation process and if there were issues they would call. By the afternoon I heard nothing. Then at 2 pm 4 hrs later the groomer called and asked how I wanted my dog groomed, I told her and that was that. Two more hours later I was wondering what was going on, It had been over 6 hours and they hadn't called to pick him up. Now the paperwork asked if my dog got scared of anything and I wrote thunder. However when I dropped my dog off 6 hours earlier it was sunny, now it was thundering. I called and was told my dog didn't like other dogs in the room so they were doing him last. Two more hours went by and still nothing. I drove to the business to see why it was taking so long. It had now been 8 hours and I was told they bathed him and cleaned his ears, no grooming. I told them just give me my dog back. I was charged 45 dollars for a bath and no grooming. They did towed dry my dog I guess I was lucky for that. Yikes 8 hours for a bath.

We used Skips help in training a Shiba we were having a dog aggression problem with. Seems she…read moremostly needed more strenuous exercise so she could settle down and pay attention. We had 8 Alaskan Malamutes that were all non-confrontational and couldn't have a 6 month 25lb. dog terrorizing them without an eventual problem. Skip came and immediately found her basic problem and dealt with it. After her first session she just wanted to go relax. He used a few different techniques over the next few visits and Skylar got calmer and calmer. We need Skips help again with a 8 month old pup who was very smart, learned quickly and has now become non-attentive, argumentative about commands most are age related but he pushes to the extreme with his disobedience and has become food possesive. We hope Skips services can help us again.

We were referred to VIP Pet Services by our Vet, whom I will also be contacting. I would give them…read more0 stars if I could. To start, we told them specifically where the garage door openers would be so they could get into the house the first day. You have to go through the garage instead of the front door because it's too easy for one of our dogs to get out the front door and bolt down the street. When we first landed, we had a voicemail saying they couldn't find the openers and had to go to a neighbor's house to get a spare key. It was a good thing our neighbor was home, otherwise, our dogs wouldn't have even been checked on when they should have been. We returned home to find a bedroom door destroyed and the damage is extensive. Either this was done in one day and no one showed up to all day to help put a stop to it by blocking off the hallway, or it occurred over multiple days and again nothing was done to try to stop it and it was NEVER mentioned to us. They were asked to leave the garage door openers outside the house in a hiding spot so we could get in when we returned. One of the openers was, instead, left inside the house on the kitchen counter within reach of our big dogs. They, of course, got the opener and destroyed it leaving us with only one working opener. There was also so much poop and pee in the house when we got there that there's no way our dogs were let out during the day we returned (we got home after 9:00P). The owners claim that our dogs left that big of a mess every day, but they "require" 3 visits a day specifically to avoid that, so there's no way if our dogs were let out 3 times a day that they left that big of a mess. Our dogs are all house trained - including a 6-month-old puppy - and would never make that kind of mess inside the house unless they were left alone ALL DAY. My puppy is also required to eat all her meals in the bathroom because one of my other dogs is very food aggressive with her. You show her the food dish in your hands and she runs straight for the bathroom. Once we got home, though, she refused to eat in the bathroom which makes us believe that our instructions were not followed and that she was fed with the other dogs instead of being kept separate to avoid any problems. We contacted VIP Pet Services today and they blamed us for the garage door opener being chewed up because we don't crate the puppy - we also have a 3yo Boxer who gets into everything, which is why we don't leave things on the counter - even though we specifically asked them to leave the openers outside. They refuse to refund any of our money to help fix the destroyed door and the garage door opener and although they said they did a lot of things - like clean out the litter boxes - it certainly doesn't look like anything was cleaned the entire time we were gone (5 days). We will NEVER use VIP Pet Services again and I will be warning all of my friends and colleagues NOT to use them.

It was…read moresomewhat of a last minute trip however Cindy and Vinny were incredibly accomadating and helpful. All the scheduling for services is completed online; Cindy walked me through this process with ease. We scheduled our consultation visit with Vinny and Sean the following day. I completed as much of my pups profile on line as I could and Vinny brought the form so we could finish what I missed. They were incredibly thorough; practicing placing the collar on CJ and even doing a "dry run" the next day before we left to ensure that CJ was comfortable. I texted almost everyday for updates and they were more than willing to accomadate. The brought the mail in, turned lights on and off as well as brought our recycling to the road side. When we got home we had handwritten notes from both Vinny and Sean detailing CJs care and reassuring us that the week was uneventful. We signed up for the white glove service with 3 visits a day and plan to utilize their afternoon walking service in the future as well. CJ is not just a dog but a part of our family and we would not have been able to enjoy vacation without knowing he was taken care of.
