It's always tough leaving the pups, especially when I've had bad boarding experiences in the past…read more This was the first time I didn't feel stressed leaving them! I received updates and pictures everyday. I could tell the staff cared for my dogs, as if they were their own fur babies! Their communication and flexibility made the boarding process so easy. I will be sending my dogs here every time!

So grateful to have found this dog ranch run by Krista and her staff! A neighbor recommended her to…read moreme. This was only the second time I had to board my unsocialized pup. I was so nervous but Krista was so welcoming and is practically an expert at interpreting dog behavior. I loved that we were able to do a meet and greet before my pups stay. She introduced her wonderful dogs to our dog and quickly determined our pup would be a good fit. She gave us a tour of the the dog ranch which was impressive. I was relieved my pup would have is own large temperature controlled room to sleep in. Their dog ranch is very organized, they have an excellent system in place and routine for the dogs, lots of play time! I love that the dogs can all play outside, and that I was sent pictures of my happy dog daily. When our stay was prolonged one day, Krista accomodated us and our pup was able to stay an extra night, I would recommend bringing extra dog food in case you may return a day later than anticipated. I liked that we were able to bring our pups kennel that he loves to sleep in and his bedding. My dog has some anxiety so Krista recommended bringing boiled chicken and rice in case he didn't want to eat, that was a great idea and I love that they have a fridge to keep pets food as well. I would definitely recommend Ballypines dog ranch to anyone who wants their pet to be well cared for. It was good to not be stressed about my pups stay away from us, I completely trust them with caring for my dog. I also like that they require dogs to have all shots including the flu vaccine, bordetella vaccine and a recent fecal/stool test. In this regard it may cost more than other dog boarding facilities (that's because this is nothing like your typically dog boarding facility ) and is definitely worth it so you know your dog is less likely to get sick during their stay. My pup was so tired for two days after he returned home because he had a blast playing all day! We are looking forward to his next stay!

My first dog was a rescue and went through training with Lisa Marie, who did an excellent job. He ended up attending daycare almost every weekday of his life until he passed in 2022 at the age of 18. To this day I attribute his long life to the love (and the activity) that he was given by the staff at Four Paws on a daily basis. Since his passing I got a new puppy that has been attending daycare every weekday as well. She can't wait to go every day, and rushes to the front door when we arrive in the morning. You know that you are at a great place for your dog when the staff is as excited to see the dog as much as your dog is excited to see them. The prices at Four Paws are very reasonable, especially compared to other options nearby. I have temporarily tried other facilities (mostly due to the pandemic), but none stand up to the level of Four Paws. I've recommended them to other dog owners I know and they are now regular daycare attendees as well. If you bring your dogs to Four Paws both you and your dogs will not be disappointed!

Daycare is great for our 8mo Basset Hound, Ladybird, it takes some of that puppy energy out of her. Ladybird runs in, and isn't the least bit scared when we pull up (shows me she is well cared for, as she is a bit of a diva). The first time I picked her up from daycare she pouted in the parking lot for 5 minutes since she did not want to leave.

Because of my telework schedule, I've been home when she comes to get my girl for her walk. My pup starts looking at the door and whining about 30 minutes before her arrival and goes crazy when she sees her buddy. I am so grateful I have someone trustworthy and fur baby approved for my girl. Amy is amazing! I adopted a 18 lb rescue Terrier Mix and was not prepared for keeping her home during the work days for two weeks while her vaccines kicked in. Amy jumped in to help. She is flexible to assist with last minute schedule changes. Being military, I appreciated Amy's military family background because she understands my unique challenges and also can get on base with no problem. She even brought a harness when my little escape artist needed it. I trust her completely and am bummed she won't be going with us when we move in January. My puppy loves her, too, and can't wait for Miss Amy to visit!

We left them in charge of our pets for 8 days. They came out and spent about an hour with me…read moregoing over everything before we left, and I sent detailed written instructions to them days before the trip, asking for questions. I left printed instructions on the counter as well. We have 8 indoor cats and 3 large long haired dogs. 2 of the cats are on daily medicine. There were a total of 3 visits a day, totaling 2 hours each day. We paid up front for the visits, as is their policy. We also had a friend stopping in to play with the dogs during this time, for extra attention and exercise. There are 3 major and 2 minor issues that we experienced. 1) They did not clean up the yard when the dogs pooped in it, even after it was brought to their attention. 2) They did not alert me to the fact that my friend was leaving the house unlocked when she visited, until day 7 of an 8 day contract. 3) One of my cats did not get medicated daily. In addition to the one time the sitter said she was unable to catch her, I found a pill on the counter, and one on the floor in another room when I got home. 4) They did not bring the mail in. When I asked about it, they said they couldn't see how to open the box. They never asked where the key was and forgot that I'd pointed it out on the front door. 5) The house was filthy when we got home. Mud, dirt, and pet hair everywhere, dried urine on the floor in many places. I showed them where the cleaning supplies were as well as writing that in the instructions. I wasn't expecting a maid service, but nor was I expecting a huge mess that had me breaking out the vacuum and mop at 1:30 am when I got home. This business is in the process of changing hands. I found that out when I reached out to the owner after I'd calmed down a little. The person taking it over is one of the sitters who was in our house. So I told her what my issues were. I did not feel that she took responsibility for them as a business owner should. She said she wouldn't send the other girl next time. I told her I didn't think there was going to be a next time. There were other things, as well, like the alarm getting set off the first day because my instructions weren't followed, the dog's water fountain gave one of the sitters a ton of problems, although there was nothing wrong with it that we could see and I had showed them how to manage it. I think they sent someone who was not qualified and didn't have a lot of common sense.
