I just assumed that if you buy a picture frame and he asks, what kind of glass it was that I wanted, he would put glass in all of them. I gave them my information including my phone number when I placed the order. Common sense would have been to call me and this could have been taken care of in two minutes. Customer Service could use an upgrade.

They were quick to address an allergy issue that one of my dogs was having and even applied medication without any extra charge. It was great to come home to the notes taken from their visits. All-in-all, I will be using their service again.

We have used Playtime Petsitters on four occasions since moving to the Springs. I have over 25…read moreyears of experience hiring petsitters and was fortunate to have the same sitter for 12 of those years, so I'm very familiar with what consistent, reliable care looks like. The good: I was impressed with owner Susan's responsiveness during my initial call. She was friendly, helpful, and walked me through the process. Our meet‑and‑greet was scheduled a couple of weeks out, and the sitter we met was friendly and someone I felt comfortable with. Where things fell short: During our first three‑night trip, I was surprised to see a different person in our home for almost every visit -- four sitters total, only one of whom we had met. This was never communicated to us, and the rotating sitters did not seem familiar with our home or our dogs. Additionally, the time between the evening and morning visits was consistently 12-13 hours, which is longer than we were comfortable with (and documented in their portal notes). Our second and third bookings were short and uneventful, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was not positive. Our dogs were not walked for the first two days because the assigned sitter reported they were "too sick" to walk them. I'm unsure why someone unable to perform basic duties was sent to our home. When I contacted Susan, she did not recognize my name, address, or dogs, despite having personally cared for them on a previous visit. She did step in to take over the remaining visits, which I appreciated. However, on Sunday -- the day before our return -- she called to say there had been an accident in the house and that it was "messy." She preferred to leave it to "solidify" because it would be easier to clean later. I strongly disagreed and directed her to the cleaning supplies. She was argumentative but said she would return to clean it. We arrived home the next day around 2 p.m. to find feces throughout the house, clearly from the prior morning. It was crusted, smelled like a kennel, and had been tracked everywhere by the dogs. This was despite three additional visits after the accident occurred. Since returning home, I have attempted multiple times to reconnect with Susan to discuss what happened. Communication has been minimal, and the responses I have received have been excuses rather than accountability. Bottom line: This is marketed as a premium service, but our experience did not reflect that. Between the lack of communication, rotating sitters, long gaps between visits, and the unacceptable handling of the most recent incident, the service has not been worth the cost, the stress, or the cleanup afterward. I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.

We have a typical Husky puppy...he was pulling on a leash, counter surfing, jumping on people and other dogs, lack of recall etc. In addition, after trying another trainer prior to Fusion, we began to have problems with the crate and he would no longer stay in without having major anxiety...to the point of us not leaving him alone, ever. Cristina spent so much time with me, exchanging emails and talking about our situation. We dropped off our crazy pup and picked up a new improved version of him! His personality shines through all of the skills he learned. I can basically walk my Husky holding the leash with my finger 99% of the time. No pulling, he can pass by other dogs without breaking heel, and he no longer jumps on people when greeting. He will calmly wait in his crate to be freed. What he has learned and what we have learned, has made our family life with our boy so much more enjoyable. He is able to enjoy time off-leash and we can't wait to snowshoe with him this winter so he can enjoy his element even more. The process was awesome. Cristina kept us updated on his progress with pictures and video and the continued support after bringing him home has been wonderful and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Fusion. In the future, we would not waste our money or time by going with any other dog training. Fusion is where it's at!

I've never seen a vet have this much difficulty setting and immobilizing a broken leg as these people. They, (first off) can't splint the leg securely. Having taken the kitten in for the THIRD TIME to take care of him, ay $85.00 a visit, putting his care into the OVER $1,000 DOLLAR RANGE, We noticed a very small abrasion on his leg from the splint that they can't get to stay on. The tech called in the DOCTOR to evaluate it without asking us if we want to spend even more. This was $50.00 just to peek at it and not do anything about it (as it was a simple abrasion) yet the $50 charge was inflicted upon us. They then told us that if they can't get the bone stabilized and healed they would suggest AMPUTATION of this poor kittens leg and told us it would ONLY BE ABOUT $800. We've take other pets there for a variety of reasons and ALWAYS LEAVE FEELING MONETARILY VIOLATED. So we figure that this over $1,200.00. I'm a retired vet and work in health care and was also an Army Medic. My wife was an E.R. Nurse for 26 years for the Dept of Defense. We understand how minor this injury is and we can't afford that. They want to load the bill so much that in the end (if they could have it their way) the cost would be close to $2,000.00 to cut the poor kitty's leg off and they wouldn't even blink. BUT.. like most veterinarians, they know that humans are suckers for their loved pets and they will bend you over for a much as they can. If you want to eat, stay away from this Vet.

Bloodwork normal except elevated liver marker and x-ray negative for bowel obstruction. Fluids given under skin, then we were called to come get him since no diarrhea or vomiting since we left. When we arrived, Dr. Chelsea Olson, told us Cash had bloody diarrhea just before we got there so would need to go to Emergency Hospital as their office would be closed until Monday. We were concerned because we know firsthand how expensive the Emergency Hospital can be. We asked her to get some prices. She said it would be $1,500 to $2,000 per day for observation, but he would need bloodwork, x-rays, ultrasound and possibly transfusions and surgery. We started realizing that the Emergency Hospital could cost $15,000 to $20,000 before Monday Morning. We kept trying to find options that weren't so cost prohibitive. We asked if we could bring Cash home, but doctor told us he could bleed out within 2 days and die a painful death, so going home was not an option. The doctor said Cash could have a possible perforation so we asked if she could do surgery that afternoon which would eliminate the 3-day stay at the Emergency Hospital, but she said she wouldn't. She also said he could have Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis, but never told us that with IV fluids, antibiotics and pain meds, he could recover from that. During the course of our conversation, Dr. Olson mentioned 3-4 times that there were staff in her office that "wanted our dog" and were "animal lovers." As we were lead to believe it was a life or death situation, we felt we had run out of options. During this time while we were in agony and sobbing, Dr. Olson sat there and NEVER ONCE presented us with options such as Care Credit, that we could surrender Cash to the Humane Society for treatment, then could be eligible to adopt him back, vets in Denver give care at reduced rates and there were other vets open that could care for Cash over the weekend, etc. If we had been given even ONE of these options, we would NEVER have surrendered Cash! We knew contracts have a 3-day period to change your mind so we went back Monday and sent an email of our intentions, stating we secured money to pay for all expenses incurred over the weekend so we could bring Cash home, but no response, so we went back Tuesday at which time we spoke to manager, but she said the person "was not willing to give him back." In our opinion, a TRUE "animal lover" would have rejoiced that Cash's family had come up with the money so he could go home to his family! In our opinion, and in our heart of hearts, we feel we were given the worst possible scenario so we would have no choice but to surrender Cash. We feel this was a conflict of interest and extremely unethical to secure our dog for someone on her staff. My son, Jason, is disabled with multiple sclerosis and Cash was his constant companion.
