I thought "no big deal, they are small". However, a friend spent the weekend at my house, and much to my surprise, one of my babies nipped at their son. I was shook! I found Helene and she helped me understand how anxious my fur babies were, and that all of their behaviors were because they were so anxious about new people, dogs, places, etc. Helen took the time to get to know us before coming to our home, and even watch videos of their behaviors around strangers and other dogs. I kid you not when I say that within minutes of her guidance, the fur babies were more relaxed. Within just a few days, they were actually enjoying their walks and jumping into their collars! She reassured me every step of the way providing honest, but kind feedback. My friend came over again with both of their sons, and the fur babies did great! Thank you Helene!!!

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with…read moreTampa Bay Canine Retreat was hostile, erratic, and deeply unprofessional from beginning to end. We booked boarding weeks in advance, signed a written contract, and paid a deposit. The drop‑off time was clearly stated in writing. On the morning of drop‑off, my husband arrived exactly at the contracted time. No one answered the door. While he waited outside, I called, texted, and emailed trying to reach the provider. She did not respond until more than 30 minutes after the scheduled time, and even then, she did not come to the door to begin the service as agreed. When contact was finally made, her tone escalated immediately. She raised her voice, used strong language, and instructed her husband to return the dogs after they had been inside for barely a minute. No intake occurred. No check‑in process happened. No services began in any meaningful or contractual sense. We requested a refund of the $118.83 deposit due to her failure to honor the contract. Instead of responding professionally, the provider sent a series of hostile messages, including false accusations and statements about suing us over a potential review. After the conversation had already ended, she sent another message the following day containing personal threats unrelated to the transaction. The timing and content were completely inappropriate and reinforced our concerns about her conduct. Because the provider refused to perform the service, we had to secure emergency same‑day boarding elsewhere just to proceed with our travel plans. Despite not providing any service, the provider refused to return the deposit. The full sequence of events is documented in writing. This experience was stressful, avoidable, and entirely due to the owner's behavior. For the safety of your pets and your own peace of mind, I strongly recommend choosing a professional, reliable, and accountable boarding provider. This one was not it.
