Excellent Dog Care…read more The review is long overdue but wanted to share for others who want to find someone who truly looks after your own furchild. In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.

We did an initial consultation where she met Poppy in our home and took her for a quick walk to get to know her personality. After Poppy spent a full day care day with Evelyn, Poppy was overly enthusiastic each time she was picked up. We've done day care days and overnight stays since! The best part about Coastal Pup Pack is seeing Evelyn's updates at the end of the day where she recaps what they did, how Poppy behaved, and sends multiple pictures! The system Evelyn uses to stay organized is also extremely helpful. I'd recommend her to anyone!

My only concern is how excited he gets when she arrives, I think he might like her a weeeee bit more than me.

I used Dawg Gone It for years, and looking back, I really wish I had trusted my gut sooner. My dogs…read morewould often come home acting strangely after staying there, but I never had any concrete reason to believe something was wrong, so I continued using them. One thing that always bothered me was the complete lack of cameras. For a premium-priced boarding facility, I believe pet parents should be able to check in on their dogs throughout their stay. Being able to actually see how your dogs are doing shouldn't feel like a luxury when you're paying a premium for their care. Then something happened that completely changed my perspective. I was out walking my dogs, Ollie and Evie, when a woman unexpectedly called out, "Hi Ollie! Hi Evie!" I stopped and asked how she knew them. She told me she had previously worked at Dawg Gone It. Naturally, I started asking her about her experience there and whether the dogs were well cared for. Her response genuinely shocked me. She told me, in no uncertain terms, "Never take your dogs there." I was honestly stunned. I can't speak firsthand to everything that may or may not happen inside the facility, and I'm not going to make accusations I can't personally substantiate. But hearing that from someone who had actually worked there, combined with my dogs' behavior after previous stays and the lack of transparency from not having cameras, was enough for me. I will never board my dogs there again. More than anything, I'm disappointed in myself for not questioning things sooner. Ollie and Evie are my babies, and knowing what I know now, I wish I had made a different choice for them years ago. If you're considering boarding your dogs here, I would strongly encourage you to do your own research and ask a lot of questions before leaving your pets there.
