If you love your pet like it's your child and taking a trip away from him feels stressful, Martha…read morehas alleviated that feeling. She is so dedicated to her main concern: to show me and assure me that my dog is in good hands while I can relax and enjoy my vacation. She sent me pictures daily of Buddy and how he bonded with her and soon enjoyed her visits. She consistently was there for 45 minutes each day as I had requested her to spend time and bond with him. The wagging tail and smiley face in pictures sent tell his story. Hands down, Martha Hand is my go to pet sitter who takes her job seriously and delivers it with professionalism and lots of tender loving care. Furthermore, Martha's service is Bonded & Insured. She is a passionate professional. I HIGHLY recommend her.

We have used Martha for several years to pet sit our dog and two cats when we go on vacations. I…read morecannot say enough wonderful things about her. She truly loves animals and it is very apparent when she's with ours. I call her the pet whisperer. Our dog is a rescue, and she is extremely skittish. Martha was able to handle her, when no one else could. We feel extremely confident that our pets will get the best of care when leaving them with Martha.

We recently boarded our two dogs at Pet Resort in the Gardens, including one who is diabetic…read more Before booking, we specifically confirmed by phone that they were able to properly care for a diabetic dog and felt comfortable trusting them. We provided verbal instructions twice and written instructions stating that our dog needed to be fed at 7 AM and 7 PM so that his insulin could be administered on a consistent schedule. Unfortunately, we learned at pick up that he had been fed at approximately 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM each day instead. Consistency is extremely important for diabetic dogs, and this type of deviation can be dangerous. When we questioned the feeding times, we were told that special schedules are only followed when instructions are provided. After we pointed out that instructions had been given multiple times, they were eventually located in his chart. What's most disappointing is the apparent lack of concern regarding the seriousness of the error. Mistakes can happen, but attention to detail and an appropriate response are critical, especially when caring for animals with medical conditions. Based on our experience, we were left concerned about the level of communication and oversight provided. We'd never bring our dogs back.

Also, her vet is next door which is convenient in the event she needs any services.

4Paws , the owner Tami and all those assisting in pet care are amazingly efficient, caring and…read moreattentive to every need of all pets entrusted in their care. I have been taking all my pets to 4Paws for care since the past 6+ years and I must say that care and attention are exemplary. Tami and her crew will go an extra mile to assist owners and pets-- not to boost business but because they truly love animals. I am a senior citizen and not too mobile. Tami and her crew have been providing personal assistance to my pets since the past several years -- 6+, by working with my pets by taking and dropping them off to and from my home to vets and to 4Paws for servicing and offering to provide certain pet services in home during the time I had been disabled. I would trust all my pets with their very lives. If there were more than 5-stars, I would very gladly give it to 4Paws and their crew. May Apticar

I am forever grateful to this amazing facility, and especially to Mandie. While we were out of…read moretown, our Golden Retriever, JoJo, experienced a medical emergency. Because the staff pays such close attention to the dogs in their care, they noticed a problem early on. JoJo had been acting completely normal at drop-off, but a couple days into her stay, they sensed something was wrong and trusted their instincts.They immediately stepped up and took JoJo to the emergency vet. Mandie stayed by JoJo's side when we couldn't, acting as her comfort and protector while we cut our trip short and raced back home. Even after we returned to town and took over, Mandie constantly checked in on JoJo to see how she was doing.The most incredible part is that we didn't even really know Mandie, and we have never met her in person. JoJo had only been there for daycare and boarding a handful of times. For Mandie and the staff to treat JoJo with this level of devotion, love, and urgency is truly extraordinary. They didn't just board our dog; they saved her life and looked after our family during a terrifying time. We will never take JoJo anywhere else!

She had some great reviews and my wife gave her a call to give her a try. She instantly took to the animals and we have really noticed how well they are looked after. There is no sulking when we get back from vacation. Patty looks after them so well they don't even notice we are gone! She communicates with us really well so we never have to worry if the animals have been up to mischief. It has really helped us have peace of mind when we are on vacation. She is extremely reasonable with her pricing and she has even treated the animals to some of her homemade treats, which they can't get enough of! I'm more than happy to recommend her to anyone who is considering using her for their animals. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with some of your most precious things. Patty... definitely is the person!

They told me he would be okay to go to my Vet the next morning because my Vet was closed this day. As soon as I got home he passed out and died. I made an emergency call they would not let me talk to the Dr. Moore or nurse. I talked to them several times days later and they were unamused about my loss. They acted like well you only had $240. I would have sold the house to save my friend. I'll never get over the loss or this experience. I feel like they could have saved him but instead took the money & pushed us out the door. I feel like they facilitated his death.

I've been meaning to post a glowing review for Happy Tails Dog Sitting on Yelp for quite some time…read more Samantha and Norm are the BEST. She treats your dog as if he was her own and sends you daily updates (via email or text) with pictures, reassuring you that your dog is in great hands and doing well. Most recently, my dog Prince stayed with her for a week - the longest he's been away from home - and his birthday fell during that stay. She baked him the most adorable doggie cake for me to take home to celebrate when I got back, and also got him a Prince crown cookie with his name on it and sent me pics of him in a party hat! He also got a solo walk to PetSmart with Norm to pick his own toy, and an egg for breakfast - one of his favorite foods to eat! I am always blown away by how caring and loving they are and it makes me feel so much better if and when I have to travel, knowing that Prince is in good hands! I adopted him when he was 4 years old, and he had been owner surrendered at a shelter so the thought of boarding him at a kennel just made me so upset. I found her on Yelp and Prince has stayed with her 3 times so far, and I can't say enough great things about Samantha and Norm. 100% recommend them to anyone who wants a home away from home for their dog while they're away. She even checks in periodically, especially right after the stay, to check in on my pup and make sure he's doing well! And the first few visits, she even provided a wonderful take home bag with toys and homemade treats for Prince. So incredibly sweet and well priced. And much better than the options I've seen on DogVacay, which can be $50-75/night for minimal supervision! I'll be back the next time I go out of town!

I really wanted to give Happy Tails a chance, but the complete lack of urgency and poor…read morecommunication made that impossible. I've been trying to plan for a week-long work trip at the beginning of May, followed some time in Europe, and needed to secure boarding. Over three days, I submitted multiple intake forms (in case the first didn't go through), sent texts, and called. There was no follow-up, no acknowledgment. Nothing. The only response I received was a single text saying they weren't accepting new boarders until May 1 and to fill out a request form...which I had already done multiple times. If you're too busy to take on new clients, that's completely understandable. But ignoring repeated outreach and sending a generic, unhelpful response isn't. Communication matters, especially when people are trying to make plans with real deadlines. They may be great with dogs, but based on this experience, I wouldn't rely on them if you expect professionalism or responsiveness.
