I received a call the day after Christmas, that my dog was howling in pain and couldn't get up. I…read moreasked if they could get him to a vet and they said no, I had to pick him up. When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

Animals are Sarah's passion. She was caring and conscientious from the first time she came over to meet our 'kids' (Bacon, George, and Qui) pics below! She asked about feeding, walking, sleeping, and overall quirks of our dogs. We rescue older dogs and they come with some special needs but mostly just spoiling. Sarah is so good at spoiling my only fear was our dogs would love her more than they love us. Lol! I can't say that was far from the truth. We are having Sarah again in July/August and I'm at ease booking our tickets because I know I have someone who will care for our dogs as well as we do and that's so nice!

We found this rescue via a pup we saw on Petfinder. We called them the following morning and were…read moreultimately able to come see a pup (Minnie) the same day in the afternoon. The lady we spoke to was very nice to us, as well as when we arrived (both her and the other gentleman working there). The front-desk is a bit small and crowded with supplies (I think from the supply donations they receive), but we were allowed to take the pup out in the large gated yard to run around and play and get to know her a bit more. The application process was fairly straight forward. They hand-write out the paperwork so it took a little bit longer, and they only accepted cash (we had to run to our local bank during the application). They do have a 7-day return policy (if the pet doesn't work out you can return them, or exchange for another, but no refunds) from what I understood. They also gave a health voucher for one of the local vets, but we did not use it and went to our regular vet. I saw other reviews claiming the pets weren't as healthy as they said, but at least for us, when we took the pup to our Vet, she was 100% clear and healthy (including all worms and such, which is sometimes overlooked in the exams). All of her shots / spay / flea treatment dates etc. were recorded and provided to us, plus microchip info, so it was thorough. They also gave us the rest of the kibble they were feeding her, which actually lasted us about 2 months. Overall, we thought they were friendly and also showed they cared for the animals that they adopt out. I don't think they have tons of dogs and cats, but they are worth considering if you are looking to adopt!

We LOVE Mary! And our dogs and cat do too!…read more We have two small dogs and a cat. All of which definitely have their own sets of issues! One has anxiety issues who eats everything (paper towels anyone?) and likes to poop/barf around the house from time to time. One has a bum leg who has 4 pills in the morning and 3 in the evening. And then a cat who can be severely aggressive when he wants something! I've had house sitters in the past and now that I've found Tails 2 Trails I hope to never lose them! Mary is an excellent communicator and I'm always able to get a hold of her. The dogs are happy to see her and get into their own routine when she arrives. She's watched them for over a week's length of time and as short as just a quick stop over if we are out too long for the day. I seriously trust her more than my own grandmother. (Whom I love but doesn't listen and follow directions!)

I have never used a pet service...now I will never use anyone else!…read more I have never had a need for anyone to watch and feed my cat (or previous cats) as I always had a friend or neighbor willing. However, this time I needed someone for my vacation and I was more than pleased. Valerie explained things wonderfully and made me feel at ease. Sherrie watched my cat...sent pics, videos, and left me updates for each day. She even let me know when something was "amiss" at my house (i.e. car in my driveway). She kept in touch and made me feel very comfortable. I was very happy with her and am so happy to know that she will be my primary. The price was way more reasonable than I thought it would be. I couldn't be happier with this first experience. (says I am in Hoffman....am in Palatine)
