This was huge for me, when my regular sitter was away the team would train new sitters on my behalf and made the process as easy as possible. Last year my 2 older cats were very sick, the sitters always picked up/cleaned up the, sometimes very gross, messes they produced. This is one of the many very personal and individualized services they take on without question to assure I feel like my home is in a comfortable state while I'm gone. Most importantly, my pets LOVE Diana and Katie! They play and pet my fur babes and I have seen for my self the affection both ways. They have bought them toys and always send me pictures of them - so I can see how happy they are. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing service! I highly recommend them to all!

After putting a lot of thought and waiting a few days so I can be more logical about the situations…read morethat Suzie and her business put us through, I will start from the beginning so all dog owners and animal lovers in general that are looking for a good dog sitting/boarding business can grasp just a bit of what we went through. Me and my husband found Suzie's pet care on Yelp, we lived very close to her and my husband was pleased with the rates she was offering, on the other hand I did notice a 1star review from a previous client (that Suzie has managed to remove through yelp) stating that her dog was bitten by another dog under Suzie's care and she was concerned about the amount of negligence that caused the poor dog to be bitten so horribly. That scared me but my husband wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and we really wanted to save money on our travels (big mistake) so I called and talked to Suzie regarding this review I noticed and how it concerned me, she responded by how she learned from that mistake and how she had responded to the review, which was great and all ..then she went on assuring me that my dog would be in good hands. We picked our dog up the first time after we had her boarded and everything seemed fine except my dog smelled like a cigarette head to toe. I was so upset and disappointed but I just let it go, how ever we needed to find a dog sitter for our next trip months later, so I contacted Suzie and addressed the smoke smell on our dog that wouldn't go away. The one thing I did like about her service was the fact that she would send pictures and updates, she told me it was "the fireplace " they use.. well if that's the case I'm more concerned about the amount of smoke vs. oxygen in her home and how come my dog smells more like a cigarette then your home when we walk in? My husband didn't think we had enough proof to think other wise so again my dog for the last time went under Suzie's care while we left for Thailand 11 days. Suzie contacts my Husband via what's app to let him know her father passed,and she had to leave town and she's leaving our dog with her daughter.Now at this point we are concerned but we want to be sensitive towards her situation because I know how it feels to lose a parent, but Suzie failed to communicate with her daughter and with us, we did not even get a courtesy call or perhaps to ask if we were ok with this change, she tells us she's leaving our dog with her 23 year old daughter, that we never had any contact or communication with up until we dropped off my dog and she was Asked by her mother(Suzie) to come say hello. A couple of days go by and we have tried to contact Suzie via phone, text the business anywhere we possibly could email to see how our dog is doing, No response what so ever. I was having a anxiety attack and tried to book a flight back home from my birthday trip just so I can go get my dog and make sure she is still alive and well. I couldn't enjoy my trip nor did I want to stay anymore at that point. Long story short my cousins go to pick our dog two days before we are supposed to come back, because we couldn't book a flight without paying a extra $$800. While we are on FaceTime and my cousins are picking up my dog , the daughter of Suzie didn't even know which crate belonged to my dog, how could you not know something so simple which is where she was sleeping? Come to find out not only did Suzie leave and not have her daughter communicate with us she also thought it was ok for her daughter to sleep in a bed with my dog. No Suzie it is not ok, it is not ok for you to leave clients that pay you in advance worried and just leave without asking us if we are comfortable with this situation, your business is separate from your personal issues and as much as we are sorry for your loss, our dog is our family too and we expect the proper care you promise to serve and provide. I have attached a few text messages regarding this situation so you can see what type of responses we were getting and please yelpers do your research! A few good reviews doesn't assure safety and security anymore I'm afraid.

I have used Suzi for boarding approximately four times since my first review. The care she and her…read morefamily initially provided was excellent but there was a noticeable decline in attention to detail (I was sent home with the wrong toys, dishes, etc. or things were lost) and getting the correct items back required additional effort on my part (I re-purchased another harness, re-purchased a missing dish on the first occasion, and when yet another dish turned up missing, Suzi went with me and purchased a replacement set of dishes). On the last occasion my 9 year old dog was bitten on the ear and cheek by one of Suzi's dogs. Accidents happen but I wasn't informed of the incident until a day AFTER it occurred. Furthermore, she didn't take the initiative to take my dog to the vet to get checked that day (or the following day, for that matter). I did ask her to take my dog to the vet first thing Monday morning, which she did, and I also asked her to take my puppy to the same clinic to get her rabies shot. My older dog was examined and put on antibiotics. My puppy did not go to the clinic (okay, fine) but Suzi lost my puppy's vaccination records. This meant that I had to circle back to the person I adopted her from and get a copy of the records which was a hassle. Overall, I would prefer entrusting my dogs' care to someone I can trust to make the hard decisions I can't make when I am out of town. I need someone who will communicate with me in real-time regardless if the news is good or bad. Suzi lost my trust so I won't be utilizing her services anymore.

Clean facility with spacious amenities, but major holiday staffing concerns forced us to leave…read more We truly wanted to love this facility. Over time, we appreciated how clean the environment was, the spacious accommodations for extended travel, and receiving regular photo updates of our cat while we were away. However, an experience this past holiday season revealed a fundamental issue with holiday staffing and animal care that we simply cannot overlook. After returning home early from vacation, we contacted the owner in the early afternoon to ask about picking up our cat. Following some back-and-forth, she begrudgingly agreed--only to reveal that no one was actually working. She had to call an off-duty employee to see if they could drive over and meet us at the building. This interaction made it alarmingly clear that no staff was scheduled for the second half of the day, and it left us with serious doubts as to whether anyone had been onsite at all that morning. While we understand it was a holiday, clients pay a full daily rate with the expectation of continuous monitoring, timely medication, and basic care. Knowing the building was left unstaffed on a holiday is deeply concerning from a safety and welfare standpoint. As much as we enjoyed the facility's space and cleanliness, we cannot justify paying boarding fees for an unstaffed facility. Because of this, we can no longer recommend them and will not be returning. We strongly advise other pet parents to ask explicit questions about holiday staffing before booking, especially if your cat has any special needs or is in need of daily visits and TLC and as our cat most certainly is while he's being boarded.
