We are one of those dog parents who go above and beyond for their care, so I knew that one of the…read moremost difficult tasks when wedding vendor searching would need to include a service that is top in care and quality for my dogs on our big wedding day. For being out of state, I did not have the most opportunity or fair advantage to meet vendors like a local would. This was a ball of nerves for our family as we never leave our dogs! I was able to find Cynthia and I am so glad we made our final choice with her services. Other companies would not get back to me promptly or "ghosted" me, and I felt like they didn't offer what I needed, which was the unique service of having a "wedding buddy", a one on one type of care. Other choices were basic kennel services or leaving my dog at someone's house which I was very hesitant. Additionally, most other services include other dogs involved in their care at once, which I already had hesitation since my dogs do not tend to get along with other fur friends. If you are nervous and have a list of questions, there is an initial pre chat with Cynthia which was more than an info session. We had a full blown detailed meet and greet virtually, and not only was I able to ask and learn, but she was also making sure we were the right fit for her services which I think shows how much a business owner cares about what they provide to their customers, but also caring enough to screen their customers to be a good fit for their business brand. This shows the quality aspect that the screening goes both ways which I cannot argue. Of course, with how friendly she is, we hit it off perfectly in our virtual video setting. I felt comfortable, had all my questions answered or concerns outlined, and I was fortunate to actually utilize her services earlier than my actual wedding due to a tasting months before. If possible, especially if you aren't local and if you care about your fur friends as much as we do, this is the best opportunity to test out and see how much care your dogs will receive. Once you get to the big day, it all becomes a huge blur and you don't want to be worrying about the dogs with everything going on. Cynthia 150% ensures that everything goes off without a hitch on the big day. For the tasting trip, we were assigned with one of her team members and you can just tell right away how kind they were as Cynthia also had promised to us. We agreed upon a meet up location without any issues, during the tasting we would even receive picture updates, and upon picking our dogs up, we received a summary of how things went. This was all very reassuring! Pricing and honesty is another huge component as prices are fair, which were recorded in "writing" via email when corresponding with Cynthia, there are no questions regarding any extra services if needed, with ample back and forth correspondence. Even when time was getting the best of me with all that we had going on with wedding planning, being busy with every day life and a rigorous work schedule, Cynthia always kept up to date from afar and was well informed each time we corresponded to be sure the dates were secured and logistics were squared away. For the wedding, Cynthia was part of the process the moment a schedule was laid out by our planner which she also requests in case you forget. She asked all of the right questions, provided suggestions to the wedding day logistics, and we would actively work together as a team to be sure we coordinated to fit everyone's needs for that day. We coordinated the meet up location, where she would be sitting to take the dogs during the ceremony, where to leave their stroller, what to do after the wedding, as well as safely transported them to our hotel room. Her details was very key as well in being right there to help during family pictures. Our dogs did not feel left out one bit with all the craziness that was going on and she knew how to calm them at their most anxious times, which my mom pointed out to me that she noticed the dogs were very calm around her and she has a special communication style with them. Amazing for never having met them! During the remainder of the evening, picture updates were also provided and my parents were very happy upon picking the dogs after the celebration! Whether wedding related or not, I would highly recommend Cynthia and her team. I believe you will feel right away from just a consultation what type of care you will be receiving. I do not regret booking, this was the best vendor we added as part of our wedding journey. Cynthia is also very personable and patient with us during our months of consultation and communication! I am confident to recommend that her services are top choice for your best fur friends. Thank you again so much for making our big day so much easier, less worries and loving my dogs as they were your own,they really appreciate it!

From our first phone conversation, Lorna helped me to feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog. Duchess could play, nap, bark, and run about with tiny Fiona and the pugs, and we didn't have to feel guilty or leave her alone in our hotel room. For Animals Sake Resort provided just the sort of doggie day care that we like - where it feels like "home," with lots of love and attention (and NO crates). Lorna is a very intuitive, knowledgeable, compassionate dog-lover, and she made us and our dog feel right at home. The facilities for the dogs are clean, safe, shady, comfortable, and cozy. Lorna's dogs were very easy-going and easily accommodated Duchess in their pack. Every afternoon when we drove up, Duchess was resting contentedly with the other dogs, up on the window-seat cushions enjoying the view of the birds and the yard. We were all happy to have found For Animals Sake Resort on Yelp.

Luckily, I was referred on Facebook to Stacy and she's been caring for my dogs and house sitting since. My boys LOVE her so. She brings them treats, spends genuine time with them, walks them, loves on them, and plays with them. When I rescued and fostered a stray puppy a while ago she even bought a super nice toy for the pup. She's a heart of gold and we are so blessed to have the best for our dogs. One time we got stuck out of town and Stacy was able to last minute get over to our house and save the day. I highly highly highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy for being such a wonderful person and genuine animal lover.

Stacy treated my dog as her own (along with also watching my sister's puppy & rabbit at the same time) and sent daily updates with pictures. She made sure my dog got plenty of activity and love while I was gone! My worries were quickly relieved knowing my dog was in good, caring hands. Anytime I've seen Stacy since then, my dog is so excited to see her; the loving relationship she has with the animals she cares for truly shows. It is hard to find a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, but Stacy goes above & beyond to make sure your animals are well taken care of while you're away. She exceeded all of my expectations and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

When we first met Furry Murray, we had two very senior pets. Both required more attention, and often timed medications, when we left. Instead of worry, we always knew they'd be in the best hands while we were away and that our pets would be thrilled to see them. Now, we have two new additions to our family, and they too love the Furry Murray team. Daily, we receive video and photo updates, as well as any photos of packages arriving to the home, etc. It's a relief to find someone who cares for and loves your pets as much as you do. We've never once questioned that with Furry Murray and, again, cannot recommend them enough.

I completely trust her with the care of my fur baby, 100+ pound lab/Rottweiler mix, Patton. Melissa is not only honest, reliable, flexible, and available at short notice or emergency situations, she also showed enormous love and compassion for Patton. My dog LOVES Melissa, looking forward to her visits he gets excited at the mention of her name. Her rates are very reasonable for the services she renders. In fact as a busy person who feels quite guilty leaving my dog in the care of another, I love getting off work to find a text from Melissa updating me on how Patton's day was with her. I have complete trust in her being in my home and having access to my house key. Melissa always does exactly what is asked of her and shows interest and knowledge in my dog, alerting me to potential medical or behavioral problems. Patton has had a few medical issues throughout his short life, and she is great at giving him his meds and keeping an eye on his progress. My dog needs the comfort of his own home and really doesn't like the kennel/day camp situation. Melissa relieves this stress on me and and for him by providing exceptional service at an affordable rate. Her never ending love and concern for my dog will never be forgotten. I would like to invite anyone with any questions or concerns to please send me an email.

She gave me clear guidance and personalized training that shaped my behavior as a dog owner and, in turn, shaped my puppy's behavior. Moose has grown into a well-mannered, confident, and happy companion. Our bond has deepened, and I credit Gwen for helping us build a solid foundation based on trust and respect that'll last a lifetime! Gwen was professional, reliable, and punctual to each session, showing up fully present and with a positive attitude. I hope you and your pup are fortunate enough to work with Gwen.
