    A close up of the infection.
    Tracy T.

    RIPPED OFF AND UPSET at the unknown conditions my dogs stayed in. I paid $316.60 to board Phoenix and Harlow from Tues, June 9th @ 8 am - Sunday, June 14th @ 530 pm with a bath before they came home. They both came home with a rash on their bellies. A visit to our vet (Wesley Taylor D.V.M. @ Highlands-El Dorado Veterinary Hospital) and the diagnosis was staph infection. I now have paid an additional $343.38 to treat the staph infection. They are on 18 days of antibiotics, 10 days of steroids each and have to be bathed 2xs a week in a medicated shampoo. My veterinarian, said for such a quick onset they would've had to stay in a kennel that was infected or wasn't cleaned well. The fact that my dogs stayed 5 nights in possible squalor, itching pisses me off. My dogs are pitbulls, they don't whine they just suffer stoically - until someone gives a damn. And these dogs live in an immaculate home, courtesy of an OCD-military boyfriend. My dogs are now crated from 745 am to 545pm - while we're at work, because the medications flush out their system, making them more thirsty and have to urinate more often. I came home today and let them out of the crate. Phoenix couldn't hold her bladder and she peed by the door. Her head hung low, eyes apologizing. 5 nights at this place. My dogs came back with an infection. I'm out $660. And you're effin with my dog's self-esteem and upsetting our normal routine. I wish I had never brought my dogs to this place - it's cost me more money and been a complete inconvenience, to have had my dogs stay in unclean conditions. Honestly, I wish I could have dropped more cuss words in this review than I have.

    Mitchell is so excited about getting to spend a few days at Pappys Pet Lodge, Spa and Resort Casino.

    My dog Mitchell look forward to coming to Pappy's Pet Lodge.Don't let the word lodge fool you. This brand new state-of-the-art facility is like the Mandarin Oriental for your dog. sparkling clean with every surface white down with disinfectant every 15 minutes. Unobtrusively of course. You do not just drop your loved one off....they ask for every special need at mealtimes and snacks. Epic five star service including video cams so you can watch your high end small breed Pom on your Las Vegas vacation. This safety and comfort.... $24 for a large pet suite. I recommend Pappy's Pet Lodge and Resort to everyone with a pet.

    Here is how we got our cat back

    IF YOU LOVE YOUR PETS, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!! Too bad we can't give 0 star.... We let our 2 cats at this PappyPetLodge location, from March 8th to March 13th. During our stay out of town, I sent an email to get some news and never received any answer. We went to pick them up on Sunday March 13th in the morning. The lady gave us back the box with our 2 cats inside, saying everything had been fine, and gave us that pretty little card full of smiley faces and flowers indicating that our 2 cats had spent a great stay. Til there, everything seemed to be fine and normal. When we arrived at our house, and opened the box, we found that one of our 2 cats had all her hair totally sticky, on all the back of her body, as if she had painting on it or something, and that poor cat seemed so unhappy with her condition ! My husband spent about 2 hours trying to remove what was stuck in her hair without any result. I went back to the PappyPetLodge location, and the lady, with a big smile (and while she had told us to our face that everything had gone just perfectly fine !!!), told me : "Oh yes, we just put scented wax in the cats'playroom, and this is it !" .... Really ??? Who puts some liquid wax, with some cats who, like everybody knows, climb everywhere !! It ended that, of course, they reimbursed me the cost of the stay, and they sent me, after I insisted all day long on the phone, to their Addison location to see a cat groomer. Result : My cat, who was perfect and beautiful before they have her, has now all the back of her body totally shaved. Thank you PappyPetLodge, I will NEVER EVER give you any of my pet to take care of, you are totally irresponsible lying persons, and I will tell all the people I know to stay away from you. Of course, I never received any phone call from a manager, only to apologize.

    5 for 5. First of all, Stephanie is GREAT!!! I recently moved to the area and was looking for a day care place to take my pitbull who is very friendly. This place has exceeded all expectations. I can honestly say the dogs here get their FULL amount of playtime!! The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, I know my pup is in good hands while I'm at work. I love getting report cards and updates because as any dog lover knows, their pet is like their child! 5 stars+!!

    Mystie's famous "butt cut." Look at that precision.. And cute booty! LOL.

    My wife and I found Jill's service on Yelp while planning our wedding. We had begun planning a…read moredestination wedding that would mean we'd be gone 15 days total. I was concerned about boarding my cat because she's about 10 years old and I thought the shock of a new location would cause her extreme mental stress. Thankfully we found Jill. A few weeks before our event, we met in person. Jill came over to meet Lucky, and the two instantly bonded. Lucky jumped onto her lap and started chewing on her hair, then laid down to rumble on her lap. Jill explained how her services work and asked us what Lucky liked to do, where her toys were, where the litter boxes are, where her food and water are, and the cleaning supplies. Jill explained her pricing system (fair) and that she sends updates daily, along with photos, she cleans the litter box, and she would change Lucky's water (Lucky has an automatic dispenser). We signed the paperwork and Jill left. When the day came, Jill sent the most amazing picture of Lucky. As much as I love my cat, in ten years, I've never been able to get a clear, nonblurry photo of her and Jill was able to get it day one. Jill's easy to communicate with (text then email). She's easy to schedule. And she's easy to pay (we use Chase QuickPay). Try to schedule her as soon as you know when you're going because she does charge a little more per day if it's "last minute" (within a week), again, very fair. Overall, my wife and I overwhelmingly recommend her. Since hiring her service for our wedding, we've scheduled Jill for 3 other trips and we will continue to do so in the future!

    Not gonna lie; I was very nervous about leaving our two cats for two weeks while we travelled back…read moreto the UK to see family. However Jill did an awesome job at keeping my nerves at bay (sorry for the really long list I left you!!). Communication before and during the time we were away was really good; and I looked forward to my daily updates on how they were doing. Although our cats were struck with a sudden shy streak and would hide from her when she came in; they were eating and drinking normally so they clearly weren't missing us that much! It was also nice to come home to our mail in a nice neat pile and our trash ready to be picked up. We would definitely use Jill again; and now that we have someone we know we can rely on; we will probably travel more often!

    Lori and the team have been amazing. I've used their services for almost 2 years and they have been…read moreavailable every time. They are friendly and reliable and reach out if something at my home needs to be addressed while I was gone that is not in their scope. My "kids" love them and I can't recommend Lori's enough to watch your pets!!

Odds are if you're on Yelp looking for reviews of pet sitters, you'd probably like how Lori handles client communication. Before I went out of town, I googled "Pet sitting Richardson" and she came up. I contacted her through her e-mail on the site and got a response the next morning. I submitted a few forms online (pet names, meds, vet, etc.), sent her my address, and she shows up. My point is that we didn't play phone tag for days. If you're trying to leave town, spending all day on the phone doesn't work, but Lori is great about arranging everything online. Oh yeah, this is supposed to be about her pet sitting. Before I leave she comes over and introduces herself . . . to my cats. I thought that was funny. She hangs out for a few minutes, figures out where everything is, learns a little bit about each cat, takes a key and agrees to come by when I'm gone. That's pretty much all there is to it. While I'm gone she e-mails me updates about each visit. Pet sitting for cats is rather straight-forward: "Cleaned litter box. Filled bowl. Petted them when they walked by. Then they slept again." But I think updates would be relevant for someone with elderly pets who needed meds, or for pets who needed keep vet appointments. I can see where daily updates on a high-maintenance dog would be important. FWIW, she has a huge SUV, so if she had to take you 200lb Mastif to the vet, she could. When I got back, cats were still alive, had full food bowls and clean litter. So, she covered all three elements of cat sitting. She left the key under the mat (which I suggested) and a few days later she e-mailed me a reasonable bill with the price she quoted. I now know all I need to do is e-mail her the dates I'm gone and ask her to come by Day 1, 2, 3, etc and my cats will be taken care of as well as if I were at home.

    I would recommend you stay away from this service. Very rude and concerning behavior from the…read moreowner. When I complained they weren't showing up in the time window they promised, she said refused to apologize or do anything about it and did not offer a refund for coming in to my home earlier then I was paying for. What made me have to completely stop using the service is much worse. They misinterpreted the clear schedule and instructions I gave them and came into my home on the wrong day. When they called me to ask where my dog is and I told them they weren't suppose to walk that day, she literally yelled at me repeatedly. This is them coming in to my home on the wrong day and yelling at me for it, instead of apologizing. Their excuse was they sent me an invoice with different days. That is still their fault for showing up on the wrong days when I sent a very clear calendar and instructions. It wouldn't have been a big deal at all if they justapologized, but no. She continued to tell at me and told me to get a new walker. I said gladly! Don't trust these people in your home with your pets.

The Pet Granny has helped me in so many ways -- from loving on our boys, Jackson (Italian Greyhound) and Lincoln (Doberman Pinscher) during midday visits to making sure they're feeling okay when they're sick, to saving our house from being flooded when one of our pipes froze. I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't have them around! They provide an excellent, reliable, trustworthy and friendly service. They never miss an appointment and have provided house-calls for me at the last minute when my plans have changed. I highly recommend The Pet Granny!
