    Mika after a day of playing at daycare.

    We love Paws in Time! We hired Julie to train our puppy Mika. She suggested doggie day care and we were somewhat skeptical. Our little puppy was extremely scared of people and other dogs. Julie assured us that this would be a good thing for her to take her to doggie daycare. On her first visit at daycare, she was scared in the corner for about 15 minutes. After that she was running around playing with all of the other dogs there. Mika has had 4 visits to daycare now and she loves going! She runs around and plays all day, when she gets home she is so wore out she pretty much sleeps all evening & night! After taking Mika there for daycare, she is much more calm at home and her play activities with us have changed quite a bit. She is no longer trying to aggressively bite us, and she seems to have a totally different temperament around us now. She is just a really good puppy to be around now. Before her visits at paws in time, she was was a handful at home! I highly recommend daycare for your dog, they need time to be a dog and run and play!

    I really wanted to like this place, I really did. I first came here when we were going on vacation and thinking of boarding our newly adopted dog. The place seemed nice enough, I was told we'd have to bring our dog in so that he could get temperament tested but I got my quote and planned on coming back. Upon reading the quote and going over their paperwork, I realized that my dog wouldn't actually get daycare on Sundays and that they quoted me for daycare on Sundays even though their website info specifically says that they don't have daycare on Sundays and you won't be charged for it. I called them and someone confirmed that the quote I received was wrong and she failed to mention that my dog wouldn't be getting daycare on Sunday. I didn't like that no one mentioned that since she made it sound like he'd be playing all day everyday. We decided in the end that we weren't going to use them for boarding, we used a place that was further away but my family knew and trusted. They told me how everything worked upfront and I had no surprises. We did decide we would use them for daycare when we got back from our trip since our dog did so well at the daycare we boarded him at. He loved it, he got along with the dogs and all the handlers loved him. What could go wrong at Paws In Time? Apparently multiple things. When I dropped him off and they introduced him to the group, I was told all was good and he fit right in. I asked if he could stay the day then and was told that was part of his evaluation day which again, the girl I spoke to on the phone didn't tell me. She told me the evaluation was 15 minutes, she didn't mention he was able to play for the day. During that day we didn't hear from Paws In Time, once. I figured all was good. Nope. My husband went to pick him up and our dog was in a kennel, not playing. They said he had an issue with one dog but gave us no real information and just said someone would call because they have no managers there at the time. I finally spoke to someone on Monday who really didn't mention him having an issue with one dog. She said based on what her handlers told her that he was alpha and he was bullying multiple dogs (she will say she didn't say this but I responded, "wait, I thought he had an issue with one dog and now you're saying he bullied multiple?") The whole thing was very confusing to me because he did so well in the other daycare and I watched him play so nicely with the other dogs. I continued to ask questions trying to understand what happened but all I was given were stats on how these dogs work. I'm not new to dogs or this breed, thanks. She finally ended up saying we could bring him back and she would watch him and evaluate him. He went back the next day and we received a phone call saying he was doing great and he wasn't showing any of the signs that her handlers said he was showing a few days prior. She said that he could come back again based on what she was seeing. Not one issue that day. Fast forward a few days and he's back in daycare with this one particular dog that they mentioned the week earlier. Again, we received no phone call from Paws In Time and when my husband picked our dog up, he had a puncture wound in his head. The woman at the desk said that she had just gotten there and didn't know what happened but she'd have someone call us. I received a phone call this morning advising that my dog wouldn't be allowed back and that he and this other dog got in a fight. I asked why I wasn't called immediately and she said they didn't notice the puncture wound on my dog. Then she turns around and says that the other dog had a puncture wound and a handler got bit while trying to break up the fight. All this happened and a handler got bit and you didn't notice the puncture wound on my dog's white head? None of this stuff makes sense. I would love to see footage of what's actually going on in that place. The 2nd time my husband went to pick him up (the day a manager was there and we were told he did great) there was screaming and a lot of commotion in the back. He said it sounded like a fight had broken out but he couldn't tell. He just said there was barking, people screaming and what appeared to just be chaos. Luckily, our dog wasn't part of it so I don't know what the issue was. My dog loves other dogs and loves daycare so I really wanted this to work. I'm not saying my dog isn't at fault, dogs are unpredictable and we've only had him a few months so anything is possible. What doesn't add up are all their stories and how they're all different and how no one seems to see anything. That place appears to be pure chaos, especially when the managers aren't there. It's also probably in part that they don't separate any of the groups. They can have 50 plus dogs running together all at once. That's a recipe for disaster in doggy daycare because there are going to be some dogs that just don't like others. It happens.

    I've been using Simply Pets services for the last year or so and I am amazed at the level of…read moreservice they offer. They watch after our 3 cats when we are not in town and they never fail to give us daily updates on the services they provided, pictures of the cats and any concerns that have come up. Twice Simply Pets has really gone above and beyond for us - once when I had a family emergency and they did everything they could to fit us in last minute. More recently we were out of the country when our furnace gave out and Kelsie & Josie did everything from turning on our space heaters to finding alternate housing (in case the furnace couldn't be repaired soon). They kept us informed every step of the way and what's more important, did everything to keep our cats safe and comfortable. I feel very comfortable having the staff at Simply Pets watch our cats - from scheduling, to billing to the way they interact with pets, you simply can't ask for more.

Our mission is to provide the safe haven you need during your full schedule so you have the peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and, of course, having fun at the same time!

    If you're new to the area and looking for a safe, loving place to board your dog or drop them off…read morefor daycare--or if you've lived here for a while and are just searching for a spot you can truly trust--Just Like Home for Paws is it. I've been bringing my dog here for over three years, and they feel like family. From day one, I've had complete trust in them when it comes to my dog's health, safety, and happiness. The team is warm, attentive, and clearly loves every single pup that walks through the door. One of my favorite parts? Every single time we're in the car heading there, my dog knows exactly where we're going and starts getting so excited. Tail wagging, nose to the window--it's clear how much he loves it there. I can't say enough good things about this place. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is being cared for like one of their own. If you're considering doggy daycare or boarding, I highly recommend Just Like Home for Paws. They're everything you could want in a second home for your dog.

The facility is welcoming, cozy and clean. I love that it's female owned and family operated! I was very anxious about boarding Sherlock over Christmas because he suffers separation anxiety, but after seeing the daily photos and videos my mind was completely put at ease. Sherlock looked like he was having a great time and it was clear he was being well cared for and getting lots of love & attention! Now I can go on vacation with no worries knowing that Sherlock is in great hands. He now goes to doggie day care weekly. And even though it's only been couple weeks, I can already see an improvement in his separation anxiety. I would highly recommend JLH4P to anyone looking for doggie daycare/boarding!
