Our dogs stayed at Sweet Paws from 5/22-5/31/2026. When I picked them up their beds were covered in…read moredry urine (not a fresh accident) which is not common behavior for them. Their nails which I paid to be trimmed were still very long and they appeared to be highly stressed. The treats we sent for them were also untouched. I contacted Sweet paws the next day to get a better understanding of what happened. When speaking with their staff I was informed that my dogs nails were cut with a dull dremel and they just got a new one if I wanted to bring them back "for free" and also that they urinated their beds nightly. Being that this is highly unusual behavior I asked for more information on their bathroom schedule and was told the last opportunity they are given to use the washroom is between 530-6pm and then everyone leaves for the night and doesn't return until 6am. They informed me they know this is a long time and are trying to get more staff to stay later which does nothing for my dogs that spent 9 nights alone for 12 hours without the opportunity to use the washroom or be cared for. This is cruel and neglectful at the very least. It is widely known that dogs should not be left alone for 12 hours physiologically and mentally, being that your business is caring for animals, you should absolutely know better and to chose to run your business this way is negligent. Update: I spoke with Terry who manages Sweet Paws along with several other facilities but typically lives out of state. I was informed this is industry standard for dogs to be left extended periods of time without the opportunity to use the washroom, and that other facilities are not likely not being truthful if they say otherwise. Terry was misinformed about my dog's neutered status and suggested that not being neutered is the reason for their accidents (both of my dogs are neutered and have been since I adopted them). Heavy focus of the conversation was "educating" me on what the norm is for boarding facilities since my dogs have never boarded before despite having explained I have family who have a history of working in the business for many years. Terry suggested that I never board my dogs again anywhere. When I would repeat back information that was told to me I was told I was twisting their words instead of highlighting issues in the information that was being told to me. For example, I was told word for word that they don't have staff later because in the past staff that stayed later did nothing. When I replied that is an internal management issue and should not fall on the customer or pets, I was told I was twisting her words. In the end Terry did say she would bring this concern to the owners and see how they could improve but it's hard to believe since I was told over and over that this is the standard and I should not have expected more. What I hoped for was an honest apology and understanding that this is not okay. What I received was an apology quickly followed up by excuses and repeatedly told "this is the norm" Terry encouraged me to not beat myself up and to be grateful they are okay because some facilities lose the dogs in their care. So you can take information as their bottom line. At the end of the day, if you get your dog back that should be enough.

What I love: - having a consistent 1-2 people always visiting my dog but having back up options handled and ready if our regular gal is unavailable. - we get a photo and nice message summary of the visit with our dog and it's a highlight of my day to hear that she had a good walk and see her cute smile! - email communication and coordination has always been so easy. You can actually get a hold of the team and aren't stuck in an AI chatbot loop. - it's easy to cancel or add on walks/visits! Truly no complaints and everyone feels vetted and trustworthy. I don't ever want to use anyone else for pet care!

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.
