There was never a question where we would bring our new dog when she joined our family. We brought…read moreour former dogs there all the time. In fact they even told us that our new dog was a "fan favorite." Then we picked her up from a day stay and they very rudely said "thank goodness you're here." They told us she barked too much in the yard and they "have neighbors." Are you kidding me? Go sit in the restaurant parking lot next-door and tell me what you hear, and if you know whose dog is barking in the yard. Do they not expect dogs to bark? I genuinely became concerned in that moment how they would treat her going forward. Switched to another facility where it's been nothing but a positive experience and NEVER went back to Purr and Pooch!

We hired Scott to train our puppy. After reading his reviews we thought he would be great with our…read morepup. We decided to go with the 10-day board and train. We made him a wish list like he asked of everything he would work on while he has the dog. After the 10 days, he brought our pup back and she was super excited to be back home. Scott assured us this is normal and that he would schedule a follow up visit with us and the dog to go over everything he worked on while our dog was with him. We schedule for the following Saturday. Saturday morning came and I got a text from Scott that he had to cancel our appointment. He offered to come on Sunday. Sunday came and Scott once again didn't show up and I didn't get a text until about an hour and half after our scheduled appointment that he couldn't come. At this point we realized that Scott had no intention of coming back and we just wasted $1500. His lack of professionalism and failure to show up, along with the absence of results, left us feeling disappointed and taken advantage of.

I left our dog Francis with Scott for 8 days when we were out of state. Francis loved staying with…read moreScott and his little pup Boogie. We set up an orientation in Belmar and at that time, Francis and Boogie the pup (Scott's dog) hit it off. After we left Francis with Scott, he put me at ease by sending me his videos and pictures everyday. As a pet parent, naturally I am a bit anxious leaving Francis behind, but the regular photo and video updates from Scott I was able to enjoy my trip worry free. I definitely recommend Scott. Scott is unique in that he only boards one dog at a time, which allows the dog to get a lot more attention than in other boarding settings; as such, his rates tend to be slightly higher at around $65/night (give or take). Francis was definitely a bit sad the day we brought him home due to all the fun he had with his buddy Boogie. NOTE: must text him and sometimes remind for updates, but he does come through as he maintains a busy schedule as a dog trainer.

They are professional, trustworthy, compassionate and it is obvious that they love what they do! We are so lucky to have you in our lives! Thanks for all that you do! :-)

I came in just a peruse because I was curious so I didn't have anything particular I needed to buy. The person behind the counter was friendly initially, and the woman who is stalking shelves. The back also offered to help me and I told them I was just looking around. I did notice they had a nice selection of rocks for aquariums, I debated buying some lava rock for a butter wart carnivorous plant terrarium. But I didn't need it currently and didn't have time to do the project just took mental note. As far as their lizards go, they had some pretty cool morphs of what I think were bearded dragons. If I had more time, money, and space. I would totally consider getting one. They were a very cool orange coloration. They also had a bunch of fish tanks on the wall with various style fish. Although I didn't take note of anything of interest to me. When I was leaving I said goodbye to the man behind the counter cuz I just wanted to peek in to see if there was anything I would need in the future of his response to me. Was next time bring a lot of money. While I think he was trying to joke around, I thought it was an awkward thing to say to a potential customer and an awkward thing in general to say to someone. Definitely knocked a star off my review because it just made for an awkward experience that didn't need to happen. If you live locally I would definitely check this place out, I'm a way bigger fan of supporting small Mom and Pop stores over big box stores. Just a warning, the owner who I'm assuming was behind the counter slightly awkward but seem nice generally.
