I try to withhold negative reviews as much as possible, but I really can't be silent on this one…read more We brought our pups here when our usual place closed down and were so sorry for it we feel it may have ruined our pups for all boarding now. When we arrived to drop them off, the staff wasn't friendly or inviting, which should have been our tell-all. Walking back to the kennel, it was dark, cold, uninviting, and sad. The worst part was picking them up. We arrived early, which gave us the true picture of their time there. They were so frantic to get out of there, they weren't happy to see us, but instead blazed past us for the front door like they were trying to escape. We've never seen them act this way. Despite having "outdoor access" their beds and blankets smelled so badly of pet waste we had to discard them, and they were having to lay in that filth and stink because they seemed to have had nowhere else to go. They also had never been given their toys or treats. The staff was as cold and unfriendly as when we left them, we should have run for our lives and never ever left our babies there. Expensive and horrible.

Vacationing in Destin for a week, I wanted a place there to board my dog…read more I loved Four Paws! Much less expensive than in Atlanta, PLUS much better, as far as my 13-year-old Australian Shepherd is concerned. First, the owners, Jeff and Billie, were great taking time to talk with me the month before we came. They are very serious about their business... and about their clients. Then, they treated my old fella great. When I picked him up, he was actually doing better than when I left him! He didn't over-play like he'll do in Atlanta, and hurt himself. They obviously gave him his medicines regularly. He got to run free and interact with other dogs. BEST, he was kept inside, which is good in that baking Florida heat... he's not cut out for it. They'll also let you "check your dog out" if you want to get him for the day and take him to the beach or something. Ideally, the house we vacation in would allow pets. But, the next best thing, I am convinced, is Four Paws for boarding.

PLEASE! PLEASE! DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG TO NOAH'S BARK AND PURRS!…read more On 17 May, at 8:55 a.m. , I took our little 18 month old Shih Tzu/ Bichon Frise' mix, to Noah's Bark and Purrs to be groomed. He was matted but not horribly. I was told by Stormy that he would have to be shaved down, and i was also asked to sign a waiver, because shaving mats can cause or reveal injuries. Stormy stated that pictures would be taken to show how he was matted, after being shaved. At 1:47 p.m. , I texted to see how our little fur baby was doing, Stormy replied that he was doing well and that they would call shortly. After being notified to pick up our baby, when arrived Stormy came out later and began showing me the pictures. Not one time did she mention his injury, as she was scrolling through the pictures, I saw the pic with our baby and a bloody cut on the left cranial region. She explained that this happens when a dog is matted and gets shaved. Then, she brought out our little fella. He had this glue substance over his cut and it was still bloody around the area. She stated that she didn't realize that she had injured him because he didn't make a sound. She stated that our little baby was okay and that I should take him home and let him rest, because she had spoken with the Vet about his injury and that the Vet instructed her to cover our little fella with the glue substance. We later learned that the Vet was not working, but has been retired for several years. I told her that I would like for our fur baby to be seen by his Vet, to take a look at his injury. Stormy stated that it was not necessary; because he's going to be fine and that I would incur a Vet bill. I don't understand why she said that she didn't hear him make a sound when he ended up receiving 5 stitches- believe our poor baby yelped with an injury as such. First, I was NEVER notified, prior to picking him up, that our poor baby had incurred an injury during grooming. I did not realize he was injured until I saw the pictures. Secondly, Stormy made excuses that this is something that happens, and she never did apologize- only more excuses, and how she has 20 years experience. Thirdly, if it was a serious injury why would she called a Retired Vet for instructions and why wasn't we notified. Upon leaving Noah's Bark and Purrs, I immediately went straight to our baby's Vet, despite Stormy suggesting that I take him home to rest, upon arrival, his Vet, I explained what happened and they took him immediately and begin treating him. He was clipped and clean around the area, and soak the glue to remove it. Not to mentioned, our baby required FIVE STITCHES! We are so furious as to how this occurred from shaving a matted pet, and he was not severely matted! If I taken our fur baby home, he could incurred a serious infection and GOD knows what else. He also had a temperature of 101. I'm positive it was from the injury and stress which Stormy and her 20 years' experience incurred.

We love Jennifer! I have two Shiba Inus, which are not exactly an easy breed to care for. I have…read morea very difficult time trusting anyone to watch them. Jennifer has been our go-to pet sitter since we moved to Shalimar over a year ago. She has watched the dogs several times now and we've always been happy - so have Koga and Sango! I deducted one star for ease of communication and updates. Communication with Jennifer is through email. She's not a texter, so it takes an hour or so for her to get back to you. Not bad response time at all and I'm sure she would call you immediately if there was a need. I would completely trust her to handle an emergency. But we had a pet sitter in a different state that texted updates with photos at every visit, and scheduled through text. It was just faster communication and the photo updates were a nice touch.

While our pups are not the doggie daycare type, they were stinky. I stopped in and spoke with the owner, Josh. I was impressed with his passion for his business and his knowledge of the Fort Walton Beach area. After talking with him, I completed an information sheet on the dogs. It was great to see the vaccine records checked before the dogs could be groomed. Kaylee, the groomer, called me and we scheduled the appointments. Over the phone, Kaylee was so personable. In person she was so professional and positive about our dogs. When we picked them up, the dogs both smell good and are SOOOO SOFT. If we lived here, Kaylee would be our groomer! Thank you Josh and Kaylee. We are happy that we found Mercy's Stay+Play!
