I am as attached to him as he is to me, but I could not let him place us in jeopardy just because he (or I) might lose control of a situation.

Our pup (who was a Velcro dog with me at first) loves going to daycare and has become a much happier, confident, and sociable dog since he's started. Even his nap habits improved! The drop off and pick up at the front are so convenient, the hours are great, and our pup is well taken care of. You can tell he gets lots of love there! I'm so grateful for A Joyful Dog. I don't think we could manage our pup without them. Thank you

We were so anxious to board our special needs dog who prior to us adopting her, was at the city of…read morebuffalo animal shelter for a month. We worried the situation would be too similar and make her panic, triggering her medical issues. The staff at Joyful Dog was patient, kind, and empathetic. It was clear from our thorough conversation before booking that our pup would be in great care. They were understanding of our anxiousness at drop off, and gave us so much info at pickup regarding how she did during her stay (including a very cute report card!) We were so happy with our test boarding at Joyful Dog and feel assured and far less stressed about her next boarding, which will be for a longer stay. They are clearly genuine dog lovers, and great at dealing with us anxious dog parents as well!

We love Tazito's!…read more Recommended by word of mouth through fellow dog owners at the dog part down town - so I decided to give them a try! My dog had previously been attending a dog daycare with a ton of other dogs that were shortstaffed - he was overwhelmed. Tazito's was a smaller one on one experience with a home setting. Perks of daycare AND being at "home" Ruth is so sweet and really cares - if she's not available there's always someone there. She also sends photos throughout the day! Amazing hours for folks who work not the usual 9-5 or do but have things after work... most daycares close by 6 which can be hard!! Since going I've met other people in the community who use her too, which is great and reassuring. I've even recommended her to some people to check out! So if you're thinking about it - just give her a try and you won't be disappointed!

I was very excited to find what I thought would be a great day care for my 7 month old puppy. I…read moreattended the meet and greet, filled out the application and made my deposit with my reservations. On my puppy's first morning there she was very hesitant to go with the male co-owner so I asked if he could please text me once she warms up. I'm at work concerned about my puppy so I call and text with absolutely no contact back from the owners. I pick up my puppy early due to their non communication only to find out that my puppy was not fed her breakfast or lunch and that this didn't warrant a phone or text either. I had high hopes for this doggy day care because they stated they prided themselves on the personal attention given to each dog. I felt none of this personalized attention as I only got any information when I picked my puppy up after 9 hours there . That didn't feel very personalized to me. No matter what response and excuses the business owner posts I will continue to feel that the upmost personalized care was not given to my puppy. The slightly urine smelling blanket was an oversight on my end but all the other disasters that day rest solely on Tazito's.

AVOID, AMY LEFT OUR DOGS ALL ALONE WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN…read more We booked Amy to do overnight stay pet sitting from August 5-8. On the morning of August 6, we realized by looking at the door sensor data from our security system that she had left our home at 8pm on August 5 and had not yet returned (it was about 10:30am when we realized). After texting and calling Amy on the morning of the 6th, we were able to reach her around 11:30am. She explained that she had an emergency, which was why she was not caring for the dogs as agreed. We explained, firmly but reasonably, that we understand that emergencies happen, but she cannot leave the dogs alone, and, if she had just let us know she had an emergency, we could have tried to handle it. After this call, Amy went to the home and let the dogs out. She then texted and said that she was leaving our dogs and would not be providing further care. This forced us to scramble, while on vacation, to try and arrange an emergency pet sitter. When Amy quit the job without notice, she also promised a refund of our deposit, but, when we got home and tried to contact her, she had blocked us across all of her accounts. Ultimately, we used an account unknown to Amy and made a Venmo request for the money back, which she did pay. Honestly, this was the worst case scenario. The pet sitter quit while we were out of town, and, in a panic, we almost had to cut our vacation short (after less than a day away). Plus, Amy had no reason to quit; we were not unreasonable and simply explained that it was unacceptable and not consistent with expectations that she had left our dogs alone for almost 16 hours and did not make us aware of or made a plan to deal with her personal emergency. Like, who does that?!?! If you want a pet sitter that provides the services promised and does not quit when you call them out for doing meeting expectations, avoooooooid.
