    Felt I had to post my own review, since my experience with Marilyn's Voice was drastically different from the other reviews posted here. Just over a year ago I inquired about adopting a dog, Chloe, that I had seen on their site. I received a response within 24 hours and had my first phone 'interview' with someone from the rescue. It was a pleasant conversation, I was asked about what I was looking for in a dog, and was given a lot of details about Chloe. As she was a rescue, they wanted to make sure I was aware of some issues with her, as well as to set expectations of what to expect if I adopted her. I was then referred to the woman who was fostering Chloe for another phone conversation. She had fostered Chloe for quite a while, and explained that Chloe had been adopted previously but was surrendered back to the rescue. They wanted to make sure I had as much info as possible to make an informed decision to avoid a similar situation. We decided to move forward with the process, and I got a chance to meet Chloe at the foster mom's home. She spent well over an hour talking with my mom, who joined me in the visit, and I, providing a lot of great information. Later that week she brought Chloe to my house for a visit (making a drive from Mentor to Parma on a snowy January night), so the dog and I could spend some time together to get more comfortable with each other at my place. A week later I brought her home for good. Her foster mom has been absolutely fantastic before, during, and after the adoption. I'm a first time dog owner, and she has provided so much advice to me, and even returned to my house a month later when I hit some behavioral snags with Chloe that I was struggling to figure out how to handle. That one extra visit gave me the tools I needed, and Chloe and I have had no real issues since. The entire process from my initial contact to the adoption day took less than 3 weeks, and could likely have been shorter if not for my own pre-adoption reflections to make sure this was a step I wanted to take. I'm glad I did though, and the easy process and help I received from everyone at Marilyn's Voice made this a very smooth transition. It's now just over a year later since I adopted Chloe. She's doing great & I couldn't be happier with the decision to bring her home. Please don't hesitate to contact this rescue! And now, of course, I feel like I have to post a pic of the little lady!

    See all

I also will note ahead of time also that while their website claims they pick up both dog and cat poop, I had several occasions where obvious piles of cat poop were left in the yard while the dog poop was picked. We employed this service since last summer and initially did not have problems. Starting in January when snow started to fall, as it does every year in Ohio, we started to get nervous about the quality of the cleaning. I came home one Wednesday, our service day was always Wednesday, to find that the yard had been serviced however one large pile that looked as if it had been stepped in and smeared in the snow was left. Upon further inspection it was apparent that other poops had been left under a fresh snowfall that had occurred earlier that Wednesday morning. We contacted PoopPros to inquire what the plan was to clean during snowfalls because when we first inquired about the service in winter, we were told with pride that PoopPros have even "chiselled poop out of ice!", so it was disappointing to see that we had literally been charged for them to come out and pick up only visible poop, which was from that very morning, deposited in the yard between the early morning snowfall and their tech's arrival. We wanted to cancel the service because the whole point is not to have poop rotting, wet, on the grass, under snow. The next week, we specifically reached out prior to service and told the tech that there were many poops in the yard both from the previous week as well as what had been left over the next week. We got no response. The servicing was done, collecting again only visible poops. At this point, we have basically two weeks worth of poops in and under snow in our yard even though we PAY a service for the expectation that THEY gave that our yard would be clean year round. Now come to Wednesday before last, there was a polar vortex with extreme temperatures. We received a text saying they would not be out to service for the week. Understandable. What was not understandable is that they did not warn that they would not be coming this past Wednesday to make up for that missed week. PoopPros claim that because we cancelled service after January and that Wednesday was the last Wednesday of that month, that they are not coming out and we would get a check for that cancelled service. They feel no obligation to clean all of the poops left in the yard, of which there are at least 30-40, I have pictures. These are all poops left in the yard throughout the month of January, when they WERE employed to clean the yard, but did not. They did not ever say that they did not intend to make up the week cancelled until we complained again when we came back from travelling this past Wednesday to find the yard a defrosted poop filled wreck. Additionally, they backtracked on the previous credit offered stating it would be offered only if we continue to employ the service. After the condition of the yard by the end of January, will be shown in photos, I had no intention whatsoever of employing this service during snow months. I was open to signing back up for warm weather months until I saw just how much back tracking they did and still left us with a yard absolutely full of poop that we had to clean our selves. So, to total the first snow month and last month utilizing this service that proudly claims to be year round: We are left with a yard full of poop we paid them not to pick up for an entire month as they only pick visible poops and do not chisel anything. We were offered a credit for previous issues then it was snatched back in an attempt to strong arm us into maintaining this business relationship. They cancelled our last week of service with no intention or communication concerning our previously and loudly voiced complaints about the condition of the yard. They are fine with the 100$ they collected over the course of January to literally pull maybe 10 poops leaving 40. DISHONEST COMPANY.

I was surprised to go on to the camera to find there was at least 50 dogs in a small area that only had concrete (no turf or beds) and no toys. I saw one bowl of water. There was nothing for the dogs to do except walk in circles and follow the sitters around. They called and said "your dog is exhibiting signs of anxiety" when all he really wants to do is play like a normal dog. They also said "he has a prey drive and goes after small dogs" which i know isn't true because he does not care about other dogs. After trialing today, i can confidently say this place just wants your money and for your dogs to be okay with walking around in circles and not trying to play with other dogs or much of anything. I don't think this place is ethical and would honestly think your dog would be happier at home in his/her crate.

The day we scheduled to board our three young dogs was no longer available and we were not informed until we were checking in our young dogs for their trial day. The entire visit was unwelcoming and I feel customer service could be greatly improved.

My love of dogs led me to a career as a professional dog trainer, and I was fortunate to meet and work with some amazing dog and people customers. Almost every day I was asked for advice and recommendations for care for their dogs. Many people did not want to put their dogs in a kennel, but they did not have other viable options for care. I saw firsthand dogs that were incredibly stressed from being in a traditional kennel environment and it broke my heart. FlipFlop® is the perfect solution. In fact, my family and I loved the idea so much; we decided to become part-time Companions in the summer of 2011. We really enjoyed having friendly dogs in our home for sleepovers and it was a great way to keep our aging Rottweiler, Shelby, on her toes. After such a positive experience as a FlipFlop® Companion Family and researching the benefits of owning a FlipFlop® franchise, making the decision to purchase FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore was easy. Being Companions ourselves we know that the dogs are taken care of properly and are relaxed and happy when they go home. We also recognize that the experience gives FlipFlop's® Customers peace of mind knowing their furry family member is spoiled and loved.
