I am absolutely shocked that this place has not been shut down by NJ- Animal Contol. I boarded by…read more6 year old Jack Russell here for 5 days. When she arrived she was lively, sweet, cuddly and eager. When I picked her up she had lost 4 lbs, had bald spots from either self-harm or rubbing against a crate that was too small. The owner then handed me a black trash bag that contained the remnants of my sweet dog's bed- it was shredded to pieces (either my dog was so upset that she tattered her own bed for the first and only time ever or another dog was so close and aggressive that she had to witness it). The trash bag also weighed close to 15lbs due to the amount of urine that was soaked in it. It took my Russell nearly 2 weeks to settle back into a peaceful way of life. Clearly she had not been given the opportunity to relieve herself in an appropriate setting, let alone walk for any distance. If I had the ability to drive back and board up the doors to this animal hell-hole myself I absolutely would. NEVER EVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR BELOVED PETS.

I left…read moremy dog here (lab mix) for 3 days and when I got him back he had lost hair and I could tell he had not been eating. He smelled of urine and the moment I got him outside he peed for 3 minutes and poo'd 4-5 times as though he had been holding it the whole time. My cousins dog was in a similar shape and had destroyed and urinated on her own bed. You aren't able to see where they put the dogs and i don't believe they have access to an outside run. I won't be using this kennel in the future.

As a mom of three under six who travels regularly with our kids, I'm used to working with agencies…read morein different places. This was the first time that the owner of the agency refused to provide a last name/resume/address/credentials/phone number/ANY VERIFIABLE INFORMATION for the sitter up front. She seemed to take it personally that I didn't take her word for it that her referral was flawless. But again, as a mom of three kids who travels regularly - I've learned the value in validating and doing a basic google search of the person I'm hoping to leave three small children with. On Monday, the owner wrote to me, "XX will reach out with a blocked call to introduce herself, if you miss her call, no worries, she will be there for you all on Saturday." I politely asked for a last name and a phone number, such that I could speak to her in advance of her standing in front of me and my kids before I leave to go to a wedding for six hours. The owner replied telling me no, I could not have any of that information because, "XX is very well established in our organization." Then she tried to push me by saying that there's only one other agency in the area and its not insured in NJ and is so large. This was consistent with the level of professionalism we experienced. By Wednesday morning, I still hadn't heard from the sitter or been given anything that I could independently verify. I emailed the owner to tell her this wouldn't work out. Magically, the sitter calls me within minutes of me hitting send and is now willing to make an exception and share her phone number. By this point (four days before the event), we have made other arrangements with someone willing to let me Google them in advance. This agency's sitters may all be amazing. But I've never once been told by an agency (or a competent babysitter, for that matter) that I can't see a copy of a sitter's CPR certificate, identification, or dated background check. In this day and age, we just can't take the chance and go with a "trust me, I run an agency" approach. Particularly when other reviews of this agency here and elsewhere indicate there have been issues of sitters not showing up or not being professional. The owner texted me to tell me that she would still charge us the sitter referral fee because she DID make a placement and it was my choice to cancel her. She and I have a different opinion on what a placement is - mine isn't "here is the first name of a person." She can keep the $20 though - seems like they need it more than we do. UPDATE: 10/25/2019 1) To re-iterate, we did NOT hire a babysitter and this is a review of the agency's policies, not the babysitter herself, since we found a different babysitter before this agency's sitter called us. 2) To be clear, the owner did not literally say "trust me, I run an agency." Instead, she argued that I did not need to see any supporting documents about the sitter (including her last name, a dated background check, or her phone number) because, as she literally texted to me, "I vet the sitter so clients don't have to." In three states and in five sitter agencies, I have always been sent more information and/or supporting documents or we have chosen not to use that baby-sitting agency. 3) The owner asserts that the babysitter called me several times and just did not leave a message. I do not believe this is true. 4) After texting me "as soon as you remove your yelp statement i will be happy to refund our 20.00 fee for scheduling n canceling a sitter," she did go ahead and refund the fee. To be clear, I did not request this refund. 5) The owner has told me multiple times by text message that she is contacting an attorney "in reference to slander and disrupting business on false pretenses."

I feel so fortunate to have found Paws First, which gives me the option to have my pets cared for in their own home. The ability to book online makes arranging for pet sitting so easy and convenient. Response time is always very quick, and the rates are reasonable for the peace of mind these people provide. I love getting email updates on how my dogs are doing. Even when they're naughty and get into the trash or have a little accident, everything is in order when I get home and my dogs are happy and loved. **Need to add an update because of one visit in particular. It has taken me a while to be able to write this. Over the Summer, I had the amazing folks from Paws First watching my dogs while I was away for the weekend out of state. My senior dog's health had been in decline for a while, but it didn't seem to be cause for too much concern- just typical old dog stuff. One night, her health took a very sudden and dramatic turn. It was clear that if she were brought in to the the vet that she would not be returning. I didn't want my old girl's last moments to be spent someplace unfamiliar. The staff at Paws First went above and beyond to provide extra care and comfort to her when she needed it most so I could race home to be with her. I am forever grateful for all they did for her.

If you do not pay for extra the dogs only get walked 3 times a day for less than 5 minutes and no attention is paid to them. Even with play time during the day after 5:30 they do not get walked again or checked on it seems till 13 hours later at 6:30 the next morning. When we picked up our dog the place was barren outside and the play rooms looked pretty empty just sounds of howling dogs in cages. I asked how many dogs they had at that time and the worker said about 50, plus cats. No dogs playing outside, barely any playing inside, and only 3 people working for all of those dogs. We had a live feed of our dog and could see the dog next to it and it got sick in its cage and was not attended to for at least an hour. We also arrived at 12 PM like we were told and they tried to charge us an extra $60 for "late checkout" because it was after 11 AM.

After the New Year, I installed a motion censored security camera which monitors my front door, yard, and driveway. This weekend, Gina was hired to stay at my home with my dog. Security footage revealed that she did not stay at my home. She made sporadic visits in shorts intervals and left him alone nearly all day and night. She did not stay at my home overnight and left him for about 12 hours every night. I have employed this person, paid her to stay at my home, and trusted that she was doing so. I am furious and heartbroken that she did this and I am uncharacteristically posting to forewarn others not to use this individual who has demonstrated that she is untrustworthy, behaved in a fraudulent manner by accepting money for services not actually provided, and provided a level of care to my beloved dog that is unacceptable.
