In honor of #servicestarshout day here on Yelp, I'd like to say that Debbie of Pasco Professional…read morePet Sitters definitely embodies this hashtag. My family and I recently left to visit Pennsylvania and we needed someone to check in on our two cats. Through some online recommendations my wife found Debbie. We set up an initial appointment where Debbie came to the house, tried to meet the pets (they hid) and took detailed notes on what we wanted her to take care of while we were gone. Debbie didn't just stick to our pets either. She also offered to water plants and bring in our mail. We returned from our vacation to a home with clean litter, well fed and happy cats, organized mail and healthy plants. Affordable, detailed, local. It just doesn't get better than that. Thanks Debbie for being a #servicestar!

We have 3 dogs, German Shepard, French Bulldog and Mix Breed. We went on vacation for 2 weeks and…read morewere pretty anxious about leaving our dogs at home. We both work from home so our dogs are used to having someone with them all the time. Also, we weren't sure how our German Shepard was going to react. Debbie was wonderful, she made our dogs feel safe. She was great with the Shepard and very patient as she got used to Debbie. During our trip, Debbie sent us some pictures of the dogs which was really nice and kept us updated. She also brought in the mail and quite a few packages that were delivered to the house. We will definitely be calling Debbie for all of our future vacations and pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!

When we pull up in the driveway, the boys race to be let in and let everyone know that they are ready to be spoiled by their Dogs R Us family. As a person that travels for work, I feel so blessed to have found them. It was so important with my elderly dog that needed special care in his last years.

Tried calling to which a message tells you they don't pick up the phone due to solicitation. So you are supposed to text the number.

Just odd response from them originally, not even asking for dates or trying to call me, etc.

He is already doing amazing at just a little over 3 month old thanks to her. Their positive reinforcement approach really helps with his stubborn Chowski breed, as we want him to be confident and sweet.

We are so incredibly grateful for Angelica! She is hands down the best trainer and dog therapist…read morewe've ever met. As seasoned dog owners, we've always been successful with our training methods--until now. Our current dog has different needs and Angelica helps us to understand them and build a deeper connection. Angelica has been unbelievably patient, not only with our dog but with us as well. She takes the time to teach us how to be successful just as much as she works directly with our fur-baby. She is also very encouraging and supportive of us. Thanks to her guidance, we continue to improve and learn every time we meet. We feel so grateful to have her in your corner in this journey. We can't recommend Angelica and her staff enough--they are truly one of a kind!

We boarded our pup Milo here for the first time last week while we traveled out of state - when I…read morearrived the young lady greeted us promptly and walked me through the check in, making sure to ask all the questions about our sweet boy to make sure he had the most comfortable stay possible, that was a great sign! She was very friendly, fantastic customer service. While we were away I received photos, videos, and updates about how our boy was doing from Maria - playing, eating, having the time of his life. This kind of reassurance when leaving your fur baby somewhere is so important and SO appreciated! I really felt like our boy was in really good hands and being loved the way we love him. He made some friends and was such a happy boy in all of the videos, prancing around outside and just loving his time. When I arrived to pick Milo up the same young lady helped check me out (I wish I would've gotten her name - her customer service is fantastic, she's great!!) Milo came out, freshly bathed, as happy as can be! I was so happy to see that he had a great time and we didn't have to worry about him while we were away. We will definitely be boarding our boy here again next time we travel!!

Needed a place for boarding for my fur babies while our family was on vacation. I saw this place…read morepassing by and looked up reviews. Easy to book the babies boarding online and via text messages with the facility. Boarding was reasonable I suppose. We haven't had to board them before but now don't have anyone to take care of them anymore when we are away since losing my daddy. Ran $65/night for the both of them plus new clients get 1 night free. When dropping off, they didn't want to go in given this place is attached to a veterinarian office and has that smell that fur babies hate. But dropped off and reassured them that we'd see them soon. Drop off and pickup times are set and have to drop them by 3pm and can pickup as early as 7am. The facility was very prompt in communicating. I got pictures and a report card with summary of their stay on their last day of boarding. Pickup was easy but Bingo must've had an accident that morning and instead of cleaning him up before me picking him up, he had poop smeared on his butt and back side. Good thing I packed blankets for the ride home. Had to give him a bath as soon as we got home. Boy did he stink! Overall good experience other than the pickup poop incident and pictures on the last day rather than during their stay. I kept wondering how my babies were doing. They were so happy when mom was there to get them!!!

We visited the New Tampa Pet Resort during the week that we were planning to kennel our dog Deuce - a healthy 22 lb. West Highland White Terrier that we have had since he was 8 weeks old. We told them that we have a very skittish dog, and that we did not want him interacting with other dogs. We were promised (and paid for) 3 supervised daily walks on a leash away from the other dogs in the kennel. They told us that they could handle our requests. My wife and I dropped off Deuce at 3 PM on Friday, October 17th. My wife talked to the receptionist and confirmed the instructions; they were laughing between the two of them that they were struggling to spell the word "skittish" as the receptionist was documenting this. We dropped him off and prepared to travel out of town the next morning for the weekend. We were outside our home in Tampa 3 hours later, and we received a voicemail that no pet parent wants to receive - our dog was injured, and they were taking him to the vet. No information about what vet they were taking him to or the extent of his injuries. We quickly sorted that out and went to the VEG emergency pet facility on Dale Mabry. He was mauled by a 200 lb. bull mastiff after New Tampa Pet Resort placed him in an outside dog run with a hole in the fence surrounded by over 50 large dogs. We were at VEG for over 6 hours. Deuce received over 100 internal and external stitches, and we left the hospital with a dog that had a drain tube hanging from his body. We had to go back to VEG four more times in the following 2 weeks to address complications with the surgery and eventually drain tube and stitch removal. The response from New Tampa Pet Resort was a combination of indifference and protecting themselves legally. The local manager apologized the day after the incident and told me that they screwed up. They showed me the hole in the fence, of course it had been covered up with a piece of temporary fencing. The instructions that my wife communicated to the receptionist on two separate occasions had magically disappeared. The cameras in the fenced area that were there before the hurricanes have not been replaced. A regional manager for New Tampa Pet Resort's parent company reached out to us a couple of days after the attack and told us that their insurance company would handle the rest. We never heard from a single person at the New Tampa Pet Resort facility again. Pets are designated as property in Florida, so unless your pet dies under their care your legal options are limited. Their insurance company would only reimburse us for our lost travel expenses if we kept quiet. No thank you. We now have a wonderful member of our family who is afraid to go outside for fear that he will be attacked again. Daily walks are difficult; we must take great care that there is no interaction with other people and certainly no other animals. Our dog will never be the same.

I've never heard of it, but I really wanted to make sure that the dog had somewhere to stay where he would have a good time, be taken care of, and we could trust that when we got him back it would be in the same shape we left him. Pet Paradise is not a one size fit all place. You can definitely customize it to your pups liking. We were able to drop off our own food and leave a note of how much food the dog should have per day. They have a pool for the dogs to play in, an outdoor area where they can interact with the workers, and each dog has its own kennel. You have the option to choose what type of kennel you want, and we opted for the patio one so that Zero (the dog), would have access to indoors and outdoors. We are also able to get his nails clipped, balm applied to his paw pads and his nose, and he got a bath while he was there. We also were able to make sure he got a chicken treat every day! With the online customization option you can definitely have it your way with your pup. We ended up spending about $330 for five days which is so reasonable and we will definitely be using Pet Paradise in the future for our travel needs. Our dog came home with a lot of energy and we were so happy that he was safe.
