The walkers were always on time and provided a much needed bathroom, exercise, and food break for my pup. I looked forward to the daily pictures and visit description.

You will not be disappointed.

We also had a boy dog who needed eye drops in the middle of the day. I told Shannon from our first meeting that Twinkie was my girl and she needed to take good care of her. Her response was exactly what I needed to hear. Shannon took such good care of her up until the day we had to say goodbye to our beloved Twinkie. I'm so grateful to have Shannon each day with our dogs. She was especially helpful with our new puppy who was very hyper! Shannon was so calm and patient with her. I highly recommend Shannon!! She has been with us for years now and she will be with us for many more to come.

They have been so good to our dogs and to us, going out of their way to accommodate our needs and leaving notes letting us know how everything went for each visit. They have been trustworthy and reliable. They've saved the day for us on several occasions, agreeing to come on fairly short notice. Most recently I've used their services while temporarily, medically sidelined, unable to walk our girl, Ruthie for a few weeks. Amanda is a saint. She clearly loves Ruthie and the feeling is mutual. Ruthie is so excited to see Amanda when she arrives and can't wait to go out for a walk with her. I wouldn't trust any other company than Whiskers While You Work to look after our girl.

I…read morelive in Bloomfield so I wanted to use someone local, as my husband and I were going abroad to celebrate his retirement. I called this business. Manager came out to the house to meet me and my husband. We told her that we did not want a person who wasn't vetted to come into our house while we were away. A woman was hand selected by the owner. I packed up all my jewelry and personal items, to be put in our safe. I included a $500.00 Montblanc pen that I bought for myself after I survived a stroke. The pen dropped out in the bedroom. I told my son as he was dropping us off at the airport that I couldn't find my MB pen. The pet sitter was coming by each morning for my cat's breakfast and my son came each night to feed them supper. My son had access to the upstairs litter box. The pet sitter did not. She scooped the downstairs box. My son did a walk through my house each night to make sure the pet sitter didn't take anything. He found my MB pen on the floor at the foot of my bed. He placed it on my bed spread at the foot of the bed that was highly visible. He texted me in Spain and said he had found my pen, a picture was attached. 10 days later son got us from the airport, we got home. The 1st thing I did when I went upstairs, was to look on my bed for the pen. It was GONE. My son told me that he looked at it every evening on my bed when he stopped by to check on my house. He's a 43 y o CPA who is extremely well-organized. I absolutely know that the pen was on my bedspread and I also know that the pet sitter was walking around the upstairs of my house because she was texting me daily cat reports with pictures. The bulk of which were upstairs. I have literally moved all my furniture around, gone under the bed. Moved out the rug and headboard, swept underneath the bed. Torn my hair out for the last week and a half and it is not there. I've spoken to the manager, who we had met in person, and she told me that she was going to talk w/ the owner and one of them would get back to me. Within 24 hours I got a text saying that the owner called the pet sitter to ask if she had taken the pen from my bedroom and was told no. That's it. No apology, no concern. Not even an explanation of how long this woman had been employed by the co. You would think that they would have a policy for theft of customers property, as a stranger it's coming into your home w/ unfettered access to everything you own. Please, I implore you to be extremely cautious if you hire Whiskers While you Work to pet sit your animals. You MUST install cameras in every room of your home if you do.

These ladies are beyond sweet, and the love they have for what they do and, more importantly, the animals they service is just so evident. Believe it or not, one of my dogs, who is usually quite apprehensive about grooming (she nearly hyperventilates) and meeting new people, took to Jessica instantly! Seeing my dog run to Jessica upon arrival without even knowing her instantly made me feel at ease, because dogs KNOW who they can trust. What's more, after their pampering session, both of my dogs were reluctant to leave. If you need a place to have your pet groomed and want to avoid the big box stores, Groomingdale's pricing is super reasonable, your pet leaves looking stunning and feeling superbly clean. Trust me, you won't find a better place for your pet's grooming needs. Check out Groomingdales, you won't regret it!

Every time they visit, our dog gets tons of exercise, attention, and belly rubs. They are incredibly responsible and reliable. They really took the time to get to know our dog's personality, routine, habits, and even the commands we use and specific areas we're working with him on training. They are so attentive and in tune with both our dog and our home, and have alerted us and checked in if something seemed unusual, or potentially unsafe. After every visit we get a detailed message about the time they spent with our pup (including adorable pictures). They have even reached out to us to check in on our dog after an operation, during a time when they weren't coming for visits. Gretchen and Rob are such a kind and compassionate team. They go above and beyond to care for their clients, and they truly love every member of their pack. We completely trust them with both our pup and our house, and highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter. They are the best!

The owner has dramatically changed the truth. I called and asked if she could make an exception…read morebecause of extenuating circumstances,. She failed to mention that in her rebuttal. Also, she hung up on me which caused me to call her back because I wasn't sure if we were disconnected or if she really unprofessionaly disconnected my call. She disconnected the call!!!! That is not harrassment. It has taken me a while to respond because my husband has had major health issues which I also told her. He was recently hospitalized for a month. She is insensitive and nasty and she has twisted the truth. Addendum: My freedom to rate and review your lack of professionalism is NOT harassment nor is it bullying. You have violated guidelines in your response here, my privacy and that of the person I referenced to you, although you did not listen to what I said because you have the incorrect name. I am stating facts, and my extenuating circumstances had NOTHING to do with my age! Many people think I am much younger when I talk on the phone and many businesses offer senior citizen discounts. Another bone of contention with you! "Playing a Senior Citizen"??? Really? The offended feelings are mutual!!!! There were other factors that I specified that I do not wish to publicize. And yes, all I did was ASK if you could make an exception. AND you are not the only groomer that I asked this question to, however, you are the only one with the lack of professionalism. You carried on and on just like you are doing here. AND yes, I have asked a beauty salon in the past if an exception could be made, not entitlement attitude like you accuse me of. My parents brought me up that it doesn't hurt to ask. However, with you it's different than with most. Instead you become a victim and turn me into a villain. I don't care how "good" you claim you are when you treat people with what you are accusing them of. I was not aware of your past trauma, however, I don't deserve to be your scape goat. You had an appointment, and I fully agree that's none of my business. There are tactful ways of saying that you have a commitment without divulging information. If you feel judged, you own that. As I stated to you, I fully understand about "time off". I don't feel entitled. I just simply asked. You state that I was pestering you? Then maybe you shouldn't be in business. I have more important things to do than to go back and forth with you. Life is too short.

People here have complained about the wait time and there is a reason for that wait time. Unlike other vets and animal hospitals, you will not be rushed. You are given the time needed to give your furbaby the best care possible. If it goes over the standard care time so be it. Yes others will wait but if the time comes that YOU need extra time with the vet, you will get the same excellent treatment and the time needed for your pet to be best cared for. It amazes me these days how people don't notice when there is not a revolving door for patients. He is accepting patients on and off over the year as people move etc. You'll still want to give them a call either way. If you have a question, Doctor Pennington will call you back during his phone "call back" times which is usually after 5pm est. The staff are very knowledgeable and will usually know whether or not your question can be answered over a phone call or if your furbaby would need to be seen. They have been working at the office for a very long time and if for some reason they don't know, they will check with the doctor. Regardless of how we feel about it, sometimes the questions can only be answered with the pet present and an appointment is needed. He's not going to just tell you what you want to hear. As for cost, he is actually very good for this area. And if you have a budget you need to let the staff know. They will work with you to keep within your budget and get the best care for your pet. There are almost always medication and treatment options!
