I chose Town and Country for boarding my Great Pyrenees Shepherd based on a strong recommendation…read morefrom Eva's Dog Camp, where my dog has thrived and received excellent reviews for being "cuddly and well-behaved." During our phone intake conversation, Marian assured me that my priorities would be met: 1) all dogs would be crated during meals to prevent potential aggression, and 2) daily exercise would be provided in nearby national parklands and the lake. Unfortunately, these assurances were not practiced. My dog returned wrung out with anxiety and unable to rest after spending five days in a back enclosure with 30-35 other dogs and not once having been walked. I was told that my dog did not respond properly to the counselors' name calls, which is why he was kept in the backyard. Why not take the dog on a walk on his leash? Town and Country promotes itself as an adventure camp, distinguishing itself from other boarding facilities that keep dogs in yards all day, and charges a premium for this service. Marian had assured me that new dogs would be attached to a 30-foot lead and attended by two counselors when taken out of the yard. Unfortunately, they did not follow through on this "camp" experience.*Marian later contradicted her initial assurance by saying that dogs needed to respond to a stranger's call before being taken for a walk in the park Additionally, upon pick-up, a counselor explained that my dog and another dog had snapped at each other during mealtime because they were not crated. This was contrary to the safety measures I had requested. Bottom line, the promises made regarding safety and exercise were not fulfilled. It appears that only a select few dogs evaluated by them to be "responsive" receive walks. I'm grateful to one of the counselors there who no doubt, acted as an ally to my dog and likely ensured his safety amidst a potentially dangerous environment.

We were also told that the grooming would be recorded so that we could watch the session if anything weird happens. When we picked up our dogs, it became clear that the boy's grooming was incomplete. He had little knots on his head and a large knot on his tail, as well as a new bald spot on his chest. When we spoke to the groomer about it, she said that he was difficult and wouldn't sit still so that she couldn't complete it, and she said that the bald spot was a cowlick. This didn't *seem* right, because he gets groomed 4 times a year and in the previous place they never had any issues with him at all, and we pet his chest all the time and would've noticed a bald cowlick spot before. She was also not told that the girl was supposed to get a pretend grooming session at all, so that never happened. Since the boy has never been an issue before, we wanted to see the video that we were told we could see if we requested it (we wanted to know what might've set him off), but then we were told that we couldn't because the video system has been down for weeks. The manager I spoke with didn't care and just told me that the groomers rent out the rooms so they aren't responsible for what they do. We contacted the owner but she hasn't responded and instead blocked us on the company Facebook page. Best case, this place has terrible communication amongst the staff and the groomer, poor customer service, and a broken video system. I wouldn't trust my dogs there.

But after a ton of research, it became clear that Contented Cats has no equal in the area - and for great reason! Having CC take care of my lil girl made what could have been a stress-ridden vacation easy and free. From the love Gwen has for, and the joy she clearly takes in animals, to the photos and videos of my kitty playing in their care area made me so comfortable on my vacation. The cat enclosures are 3 to 4 times larger than your average cat-hotel "room" and the majority of them look out of windows to a front yard with chickens (in the summer). The ones inside still get plenty of natural light. What's more, when you visit the space, all of the cats are calm and happy, sleeping or playing. What's more, when I went to pick my girl up, she was all purrs and nuzzles - but also wanted to stay, play, and get some pets from Gwen. To me, that's the sign it was the right choice. Thanks Contented Cats!

I can't imagine how we would have managed juggling our cat and our travel schedule all these years without her. Our guy, Tank, has spent many nights happily ensconced at The Cat's Pajamas where he enjoys spying on the comings and goings from the privacy of his own condo. Yes, we could leave him at home with a cat sitter popping by once or twice daily, but our dude is very social and gets lonely easily. Plus, he is a bit high-maintenance and Patty doesn't bat an eye at his extreme neediness. (LOL) Bottom line: Patty is a total pro. She is caring, considerate, and communicative. She keeps a close eye on her charges and intuits exactly what they need. I just can't say enough good things about her.

I do not recommend this place for taking care of your dog. I brought my dog there for a week while…read moreI was on vacation, and I thought everything was going well until I picked her up. I dropped off a confident, vibrant 3-year Whippet in perfect health and picked up a timid, completely out-of-it dog that had obvious severe injury to her hind legs. My dog could hardly walk when I picked her up. Her hind quarters were so severely out of sync from her front legs that I took her to an emergency vet on the way home immediately after picking her up. The ER vet at first thought she had a tick-borne disease that was causing general lameness in her body since both back legs were not working properly. The vet's quick check found a tick still stuck on her during their review. The tick tests came back negative, which was good but then they needed to do x-rays to see if she had broken something bone-wise. X-rays showed no breaks or fractures. This led the vet to be unsure as to what was wrong with my dog, perhaps sprains on both legs that were so severe they went up into her belly causing the odd wiggle of her back legs. It has now been 8 days since I picked her up. Lolli has been on anti-inflammatory and pain-killer medication since then. Lolli still cannot walk properly or put weight on her right-hind leg. I have an appointment with my regular vet tomorrow to ask what we should do next. I used to proudly tell people "Lolli's never had a bad day in her life". It's heart-breaking this is no longer the case. When I picked up Lolli, when I saw her, I couldn't believe it. She was freezing cold shivering with the most violent shivers beyond anything I've ever seen. And she couldn't walk. I couldn't believe it. Lolli was really hurt and not doing well. I asked what was wrong with her and they said they weren't sure and asked if she generally has hip problems. My dog is a 3-year old Whippet in excellent health; she's never had a health or body concern in her life. Sadly, this is no longer true. When I asked how long she had been like that, they told me "about two days". This kills me. I do not understand why they would not have taken her to a vet to get looked at or called my emergency contact to alert that my dog was injured and any moving around would just be making things worse, to ask what we wanted to do. I cannot believe it. When I got Lolli to the car, I sat in the backseat with her for a bit because I was nervous about what was wrong with her. The lady came out to ask if everything was ok, and I told her, yes, I'm just really nervous about what's wrong with her. The lady responded, "oh I know, I'm the same way". This is infuriating. If you really felt that way and extended those feelings to the dogs you watched as part of your farm stay program, you would have taken her to a vet or called my emergency contact rather than let her hobble around in obvious pain and injury for two days. If you decide to take your dog to the Laszlo Family Farm Stay program, they will be let out in a field every day, with seemingly no supervision, or at least no one who cares about how the dogs are doing, until you pick them up. I trusted this place too readily; I shouldn't have. I sent one check-in email towards the beginning of my trip to ask if they could try to keep Lolli warm as she can get very cold if it's cold out. It's not difficult to warm up a dog for a few minutes before they are scheduled to be picked up from boarding. It's as though they didn't care one bit about how distressed, cold, and obviously injured she looked. I'll never forget how bad my little girl was shivering and hobbling when I arrived. I was so excited to see her; then seeing her and seeing how she was. My heart breaks thinking about it. I'm so sorry I put my dog in that situation. I really hope she recovers 100%. I do not recommend boarding your dog here. As a follow-up, the ER vet suggested I might want to contact the BBB to file a complaint and explain our experience. I will do so once I see how things go with Lolli's healing.
