She loves all the staff and has to say hello and good bye at drop off and pick up. Wagmore follows instructions perfectly with respect to administering medications and feeding. Wagmore also offers dog grooming, de-shedding baths that includes tooth brushing. I never ever worry about Penny when she is at Wagmore because literally she is like their own dog!

We've used Prinkal twice now -- including over February break while we were away in Florida -- and…read morewe've been extremely happy both times. He is very responsible and did everything exactly as we agreed. Most importantly, Rufus absolutely loves him! It gives us such peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands when we're away. I especially appreciate the app he uses -- it shows exactly what time he arrived, detailed updates about how the walk went, and even photos along their route. Being able to see where they walked and how Rufus did makes such a difference. We're so glad we found him and will definitely continue using him in the future. Highly recommend!

Outstanding service and A+ communication…read more About a year and a half ago, we realized we were going to need a professional service to take care of our aging mixed breed, Honey (lab/ridgeback/mutt), when the neighbors' teen who'd been doing it was headed off to college. After meeting with a few service providers, felt a trust with Celeste that she'd take care of Honey like her own. While the price is more than the kid next door charges, it's been well worth it, as Honey actually gets exercise via walks, and attentive care. For instance, one time this summer, when Celeste found her semiconscious from a virus, she took her to our vet and called us from the road to let us know. That says a lot about the kind of proactive care they give. In addition, TLC and Celeste have been great, including special trips by the house when we've worked late or gone to dinner with friends, weekend trips/stayovers, you name it. In the end, a great decision that we're still happy with to this day.

Janice and her staff have been absolutely amazing with our little pup, Stanley! We were here in…read moreStamford for an extended work assignment and she always was happy to work around our crazy schedule (which included some last minute cancellations due to sickness or travel schedule). Stanley absolutely loved the two ladies that walked him during our time in Stamford. We are sad to leave but would recommend 5 star to anyone in need of a dog walker.

Janice was great! She looked after our little one for about a week while we were overseas visiting…read morerelatives. She regularly sent a bunch of photos showing our pooch's adventures with her. We were quite pleased that our dog got so much exercise while we were away, but we weren't sure she'd want to come back with us since she was having such a great time out and about with Janice! Janice is a real dog lover and it shows in the extra care she takes with her furry clients. I would highly recommend her for a great service and piece of mind when you have to leave your pet behind.

So happy we found Melissa! We're new to the Fairfield area and needed someone to watch our two pups…read morewhile away for a week. Luckily she was available or I'm not sure what we would have done! She was very professional, prompt and quick to return calls and texts. We laid out all the dog stuff on the kitchen island with instructions for each of the "fur kids" and off we went. When we returned everything was neat and orderly. We forgot to let her know where/what to do with full poop bags but she was thoughtful enough to grab a kitchen trash bag to stash them next to the garage door. When she came back to return the keys and receive payment the dogs were SO happy to see her. I can tell she loves animals and they love her. I highly recommend her! (Feel free to PM me for a direct referral.) :)

We brought our dog to Rippowam Animal Hospital for about nine years, and for a long time, we truly…read morebelieved we were receiving the best care for him. As our dog got older, he began having issues with his hind leg and arthritis. We tried different medications, but many of them only seemed to make him tired or drugged rather than truly helping him feel better. That alone is not the reason I am writing this review. Over time, I felt the care became less personal. More and more communication seemed to happen through websites, portals, and online systems, with less direct communication from the doctors. I understand that technology is part of the world now, but when it comes to a beloved pet, especially an older dog, personal communication matters. When I became dissatisfied and felt my dog needed more comfort and attention, I went to another veterinary group. The difference was immediate. The doctor personally called me, helped find a better medication plan, and made sure we received what our dog needed. The biggest reason I am writing this review is because after seeing multiple doctors at Rippowam over nine years, no one ever noticed that my dog was blind in one eye. The new veterinarian noticed it right away and immediately referred us to an ophthalmology specialist in Wilton. I was shocked and heartbroken. How could several doctors over nine years not recognize something so important? I trusted this practice with my dog's care, and finding this out after all these years was extremely upsetting. The staff may be nice, but in my experience, the service became less personal, the communication was not what I needed, and the parking was difficult. Most importantly, I felt they missed the heart of what pet owners need, which is careful attention, compassion, and real communication about our fur babies. In a world full of websites, Wi-Fi, and online portals, I still believe people want personal service, especially when it comes to their pets. After nine years, learning that my dog's blindness was missed left me very disappointed. For that reason, I can no longer say I was satisfied with the level of care we received.

I wish I could give more than five stars. My daughter's cat Wally was a big part of our family…read more He was my parents cat and when they passed my daughter took him in. When she relocated to Stamford she took Wally and when she shopped for a new vet she chose Rippomam. Wally aged and showed signs of decline. The doctors and staff showed such care and with their expertise Wally continued on in a very comfortable and active life. At one time I was in Stamford while my daughter was traveling and I needed to pick up more meds for Wally. The staff immediately acted like I was family and they made sure I knew what I was picking up. While we eventually lost Wally, we know that he had the best care available. What a great team. My daughter and family thank you.

I never write reviews but I felt the need after my experience with Whiskers…read more My dog has a stomach issue and requires meds 3 times a day. Before his stomach issues we always used a local dog sitter who would take dogs into his own home. Since then we have only used sitters who can sit at our house. We had a 15 day trip scheduled for September and found out 4 months before the trip that our regular sitter would be unavailable. We started researching new sitters immediately . As I am sure you know, it's not easy finding someone to trust to stay with your pet and home. Our vet recommended Whiskers and 2 other sitters. We met with the Whiskers owner (Liz) twice. Once alone and once to introduce use to the sitter she was assigning to our dog/home. For some reason she said it would be an issue to have the same sitter for all 15 days (we did not want multiple sitters - tried it once and it was a mess). Eventually we were introduced to someone who could commit to all 15 days. During this meeting we asked for references for the actual sitter. Liz seemed upset by this. She wanted to provide a reference to her company only. I wanted a phone number to speak to someone who had used the sitter she was assigning to our dog. Liz said she would get back to me. We also asked for the sitter's phone number so we would tell him when there was a package coming and to ask for an occasional photo of our dog. Liz said no - all communication would have to go through her. I reminded her that we would be in a time zone 7 hours ahead and that we needed direct communication. Again, Liz would think about it. 3 days after the meeting (4 weeks before we were leaving from our trip) we received an email from Liz saying we were not the right fit. We emailed back and called. She would not speak to us. No more contact. How could you do this to anyone? It took us months to find and agree on Whiskers. What a horrible experience. I can't remember the last time I was so upset by something a vendor did to me. The only thing I can think of is we were fired because we asked for a reference and a mobile number. I would never ever recommend a company that treats people this way. ZERO STARS!

SONO Walkers are fantastic. Totally reliable and Gizmo loves them…read more My mother needed to move to an assisted living facility. The good news was, they allowed dogs. The bad news, my mom could no longer take care of her dog, Gizmo. I started out patching in different dog walkers using Rover. Very complicated with too many cancellations. SONO walkers stepped in to totally take care of all the dog's needs. They have not missed an appointment for months. Twice per day x 7 days per week. They also make sure Gizmo gets fed and they take him to groomers when needed. Since I live far away, this is an enormous relief to my family and my mother is so happy to continue living with her beloved dog.
