His fur had gotten matted in a few areas but Jess took good care of him. She took the time to ask us how we wanted his hair cut after I told her about my experience at a pet store groomer. They shaved Rocket down too short and I didn't like how he looked. Jess took out her clippers and shaved a small section on Rocket to show us three different lengths. It's much easier to see it this way compared to a board of fake fur squares at the pet store. Jess was done with Rocket in an hour and twenty minutes so he didn't need to be trapped in a cage before or after while waiting his turn. Only one dog family at a time here means your dog gets the attention he or she needs! I will definitely bring Rocket back to Jess and recommend anyone who needs a groomer to take your fur baby here!

PSA - Avoid this place if you love your pet.....seriously…read more Wanted to submit this review earlier but we were trying to come out of this shock. I wish there was option of giving negative stars We booked appointment 1 month ago and on the same day she charged my card. On 22nd we went there.. dropped our exclusive adorable Maltese pup, as she won't allow us come inside we gave her our pup with it's bag on door itself. As mentioned on her website also she confirmed it would take 1.5hr approx but to our surprise she called back in 50 minutes saying dog is ready to be picked. On our arrival she came out and handed over pup in its carry bag saying all set. We took pup out in the car and were shocked as she has not given him bath, brushed teeth or clean ears.. His hairs were still coming off in my hands. Eyes were dirty and face had tear stains all over, as is, and face hairs not trimmed. The body hair cut were uneven. Some places the scalp is visible (see pics) . Now my pup looks are weird and we feel sorry to pick this groomer. It would take atleast 3-4 months to get back his hairs and looks. To be honest either she is unskilled or doesn't know how to handle the job and groom Maltese. On our morning walks people who had been praising him until we visited this place and now they are asking what happened to his silky white fur.. I would never ever take my boy there... Neither suggest anyone to do so even if the services are free.

Love this place! We…read moreusually board at the vet, but they were full (the vet has since stopped boarding altogether). The second option was the place on 1 which coats our dog in blue goo that requires 5-7 baths to remove (think toilet bowl cleaner). Jim found this place online. Upon drop off, they greet your dog, make sure she's happy. There's an option for walks in the mountains, which our dog loves. I think it's $25/day, $7/per walk in the woods. Our dog comes back smelling no worse for wear, which is shocking, as we have a crazy, anxious dog who drools if we ever try crating her at home, and subsequently smells and needs a bath (hence, we don't do it often)--here, she doesn't actually smell. At all. Note that your cell phone will not work up on Sourland Mountain, and your GPS will be slightly off--it's kind of at the top of the hill on the left side.

A friend had recommended her name when I was struggling as a first time dog owner with a rescued adult dog who was showing human aggression and severe case of separation anxiety. When the shelter/rescue group/foster was giving me no support, Chantal was like a guardian angel. She spent endless amount of time with me on phone sharing her experience, knowledge and insight. Her calming and soothing voice was a blessing when I was feeling at my wit's end. She was available via texts even on weekends and late evenings, no matter how serious or silly my question was. She had given me vets and therapists names to consult and books to read all of which helped me moving from one day to another deciding on my next step. Unfortunately I had to end up surrendering the dog. But I wholeheartedly recommend Chantal to anyone. Her kindness and professionalism amazed me.

If you want to keep your dogs healthy...DO NOT use Pierson Creek kennel:…read more We left our two dogs with Pierson Creek Kennel while we were away on our summer vacation. This was our first visit. We were initially wowed by the communication with the owner, the facility, the protocols - on paper and on the web it looked amazing. Three days before our scheduled pick up (while we were still far away on vacation) we received a call from the owner stating that they had boarded a dog with kennel cough, our dogs had been exposed, were now showing symptoms and we needed to come pick them up. This was difficult news to digest on many levels: 1. We dropped off healthy, happy, robust dogs. 2. We were more than 500 miles away - still on vacation. This became a big stress and worry for us. 3. We needed to scramble to find friends and neighbors to go pick up our dogs (folks who don't have dogs, as kennel cough is extremely contagious). 4. We needed to find alternative care until we could make it back home. 5. We needed to consult our vet and seek treatment through phone calls (our dogs were very sick and required two different medications which we just finished 12 days later). I paid our $1,000.00 kennel bill over the phone with the owner so our neighbor could retrieve our dogs. After 24 hours I contacted the kennel again through email with specific questions about the dog who came in sick, the cleaning protocols, was a vet involved with diagnosing our dogs or the initial infected dog, and I did ask for some reimbursement for our bill - even partial reimbursement to help cover the cost of our new, unexpected vet bill. I was very calm, understanding, gracious, and just needed some answers so I could best update our vet. This is where it fell apart for me: I was told by the kennel owner that this was stressful for them and they took a financial hit as well (not what I needed to hear at that time). They would not refund us, not even partially. There wasn't any remorse for the situation or putting us out financially, impacting the health of our dogs, or cutting our vacation short. We have been home now for 12 days. We came home a day early from our vacation to be with our very sick dogs - continuous coughing, spitting up milky phlegm everywhere, lethargic, and both have labored breathing when they try to be active. The kennel has not followed up to check on us, the customer, or the health of our dogs, They have not extended the olive branch - no apology, no refunds, no discount to try to entice us to use them again - nothing to mend this very broken relationeship. What we did hear, is this is the 3rd time in 30 years they have had to close for kennel cough - that's 10% of the time if I'm correct. If you want to drop off healthy happy dogs and pick up healthy happy dogs - DO NOT use Pierson Creek kennel. If you want to form a long lasting relationship with the people that are caring for your precious pets - DO NOT use Pierson Creek kennel. If you value customer service and want to work with someone who values you - DO NOT use Pierson Creek kennel. Shame on Pierson Creek kennel for taking in a coughing dog. And shame on the owner of the sick dog who spoiled this experience for many. You know who you are. YOU should be held liable as well.

We took our Corgi to Amber Beech for the first time about four years ago when our usual kennel was…read morebooked up. I liked the place immediately, and it was clear that they liked our dog (dogs, now; we've added a second Corgi). I've gotten good advice on care and feeding from them, they've helped us out on schedules, and they offer a walking service that takes the dogs up and down the nearby canal towpath. About the canal: Amber Beech is between the canal and the Delaware River. We were on vacation this past summer when Hurricane Irene hit, and we were worried about the dogs. We called, they said they had it under control, but would stay open till we got there to pick up the Corgis. We love this place. There are a couple quirks. They want bordatella (kennel cough) vaccinations every 6 months, and our vet says annual is plenty...but our dogs have never had any problems with illness or fleas after returning from Amber Beech, which I can't say about other kennels in this area we've used. The offices are a bit rough, and the folks are not antiseptically cute...but that suits me just fine. They clearly love the animals, and care for them as if they were their own. We'll be boarding the dogs there during our Christmas travels this year...again.

Denise and her team are compassionate and careful with the dogs, providing a good mix of play and rest. Our dogs have benefited from the play groups organized at the kennel of dogs of similar size and temperament. We have also received constructive feedback when our dogs haven't behaved properly - even recommending a trainer to correct minor problems. As I learned, it's not the dog, but the owner. Denise also has a great relationship with local veterinarians and has even reminded us of when vaccinations and check ups are due. Amber Beech takes special care of our dogs when we are traveling, sending updates and feeding special food at our instructions. I highly recommend this kennel and my friends and family who also use it are equally pleased.
