We are one of those dog parents who go above and beyond for their care, so I knew that one of the…read moremost difficult tasks when wedding vendor searching would need to include a service that is top in care and quality for my dogs on our big wedding day. For being out of state, I did not have the most opportunity or fair advantage to meet vendors like a local would. This was a ball of nerves for our family as we never leave our dogs! I was able to find Cynthia and I am so glad we made our final choice with her services. Other companies would not get back to me promptly or "ghosted" me, and I felt like they didn't offer what I needed, which was the unique service of having a "wedding buddy", a one on one type of care. Other choices were basic kennel services or leaving my dog at someone's house which I was very hesitant. Additionally, most other services include other dogs involved in their care at once, which I already had hesitation since my dogs do not tend to get along with other fur friends. If you are nervous and have a list of questions, there is an initial pre chat with Cynthia which was more than an info session. We had a full blown detailed meet and greet virtually, and not only was I able to ask and learn, but she was also making sure we were the right fit for her services which I think shows how much a business owner cares about what they provide to their customers, but also caring enough to screen their customers to be a good fit for their business brand. This shows the quality aspect that the screening goes both ways which I cannot argue. Of course, with how friendly she is, we hit it off perfectly in our virtual video setting. I felt comfortable, had all my questions answered or concerns outlined, and I was fortunate to actually utilize her services earlier than my actual wedding due to a tasting months before. If possible, especially if you aren't local and if you care about your fur friends as much as we do, this is the best opportunity to test out and see how much care your dogs will receive. Once you get to the big day, it all becomes a huge blur and you don't want to be worrying about the dogs with everything going on. Cynthia 150% ensures that everything goes off without a hitch on the big day. For the tasting trip, we were assigned with one of her team members and you can just tell right away how kind they were as Cynthia also had promised to us. We agreed upon a meet up location without any issues, during the tasting we would even receive picture updates, and upon picking our dogs up, we received a summary of how things went. This was all very reassuring! Pricing and honesty is another huge component as prices are fair, which were recorded in "writing" via email when corresponding with Cynthia, there are no questions regarding any extra services if needed, with ample back and forth correspondence. Even when time was getting the best of me with all that we had going on with wedding planning, being busy with every day life and a rigorous work schedule, Cynthia always kept up to date from afar and was well informed each time we corresponded to be sure the dates were secured and logistics were squared away. For the wedding, Cynthia was part of the process the moment a schedule was laid out by our planner which she also requests in case you forget. She asked all of the right questions, provided suggestions to the wedding day logistics, and we would actively work together as a team to be sure we coordinated to fit everyone's needs for that day. We coordinated the meet up location, where she would be sitting to take the dogs during the ceremony, where to leave their stroller, what to do after the wedding, as well as safely transported them to our hotel room. Her details was very key as well in being right there to help during family pictures. Our dogs did not feel left out one bit with all the craziness that was going on and she knew how to calm them at their most anxious times, which my mom pointed out to me that she noticed the dogs were very calm around her and she has a special communication style with them. Amazing for never having met them! During the remainder of the evening, picture updates were also provided and my parents were very happy upon picking the dogs after the celebration! Whether wedding related or not, I would highly recommend Cynthia and her team. I believe you will feel right away from just a consultation what type of care you will be receiving. I do not regret booking, this was the best vendor we added as part of our wedding journey. Cynthia is also very personable and patient with us during our months of consultation and communication! I am confident to recommend that her services are top choice for your best fur friends. Thank you again so much for making our big day so much easier, less worries and loving my dogs as they were your own,they really appreciate it!

My puppy was boarded one time before Lorna and he didn't eat or drink water all day..So with Lorna was the second experience. Her place is very clean, with a comfy, warm feeling - nothing similar to a regular daycare. Lorna is so so nice and knows a lot about dogs I received texts and updates about Astro, he ate!

Lorna is a dog whisperer and I wish I would have something similar in NJ but that will never happen.. it's obvious Lorna loves dogs and pays a lot of attention to them! Hope to be back soon!

From our first phone conversation, Lorna helped me to feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog. Duchess could play, nap, bark, and run about with tiny Fiona and the pugs, and we didn't have to feel guilty or leave her alone in our hotel room. For Animals Sake Resort provided just the sort of doggie day care that we like - where it feels like "home," with lots of love and attention (and NO crates). Lorna is a very intuitive, knowledgeable, compassionate dog-lover, and she made us and our dog feel right at home. The facilities for the dogs are clean, safe, shady, comfortable, and cozy. Lorna's dogs were very easy-going and easily accommodated Duchess in their pack. Every afternoon when we drove up, Duchess was resting contentedly with the other dogs, up on the window-seat cushions enjoying the view of the birds and the yard. We were all happy to have found For Animals Sake Resort on Yelp.

We recently took a family vacation and could not bring our dog. When we dropped Finn off at Bonny Doones on our way out of town, we assumed he had allergies.

She immediately sent us an e-mail with a picture & an update. It was very comforting knowing that our dog Finn was in such good hands. When we picked Finn up, he looked so much better than before.

Stacy is the best & I cannot speak highly enough about her services! I have a 2 year old Rottweiler…read moreand the first time leaving her for a long trip I was a bit worried. Stacy treated my dog as her own (along with also watching my sister's puppy & rabbit at the same time) and sent daily updates with pictures. She made sure my dog got plenty of activity and love while I was gone! My worries were quickly relieved knowing my dog was in good, caring hands. Anytime I've seen Stacy since then, my dog is so excited to see her; the loving relationship she has with the animals she cares for truly shows. It is hard to find a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, but Stacy goes above & beyond to make sure your animals are well taken care of while you're away. She exceeded all of my expectations and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

I wholeheartedly recommend Canine Construction Dog Training services. Gwen is an exceptional dog…read moretrainer, and I'm fortunate to have trained my Labrador Moose with Gwen beginning at three months. Her deep understanding of canine psychology and her ability to connect with dogs is beyond what I have ever seen before, as is the instantaneous connection dogs have with her in return. From the first session, Moose immediately clicked with Gwen and was excited to work with her (and I was, too!). She gave me clear guidance and personalized training that shaped my behavior as a dog owner and, in turn, shaped my puppy's behavior. Moose has grown into a well-mannered, confident, and happy companion. Our bond has deepened, and I credit Gwen for helping us build a solid foundation based on trust and respect that'll last a lifetime! Gwen was professional, reliable, and punctual to each session, showing up fully present and with a positive attitude. I hope you and your pup are fortunate enough to work with Gwen. She is truly one of a kind.

WOW. I stopped in to get my german shepherd puppy groomed - waited for about 10 minutes while the…read moremanager sat there on her phone. I waited, and then I immediately LEFT as soon as I saw her yelling at one of the employees, who was actually very sweet! If this filthy looking shop has a mean bully manager who is nasty to her employees, how will she treat our beloved animals??! No way, I will entrust my boy to them. Furthermore, the music was blasting so loud that I don't know how any scared puppy could feel relaxed and safe. I hope the owner is able to read this, and I will most certainly repost this message on review sites, to warn others about this so-called "spa". It also has a bad smell as soon as I walked in and everythihg looked dirty. Just so unprofessional and unclassy. I will never take my precious fur baby to an unhinged groomer like this. Manager was an uncaring, nasty woman with a chip on her shoulder. I feel very sorry for the employees working there, and the other pups who have to be scared of that chaotic environment. I do NOT recommend this facility to anyone who has a sweet, anxious or scared fur baby that they want treated with nothing but compassion and dignity. Fire the manager and clean the facility. For Gods sake, they clean animals??? Never saw anything like it!

We brought our older dog in after hearing about The Paw Spa from a Samoyed owner at a local park…read moreand all I can say is our days of home grooming are over! When we picked up our boy he looked fantastic and was so so happy! He was showing off how good he looked and felt. With the cooler weather this summer, and our boy's age and arthritis, we haven't bathed and groomed him at home as much as we'd like as we groom outdoors and prefer 90+ degrees so he doesn't get chilled or his arthritis aggravated. So the old boy's coat was a bit impacted and needed a good professional grooming. The Paw Spa gave him 2 treatments of deshedding conditioner then blew out the impacted fur. When we got home our boy was dancing and prancing all day just running around showing off. And for 2 days he would stand next to us for us to pet him - I think he was showing off and letting us enjoy his fully deshedded coat and soft silky fur. A week later and he's still walking up to strangers to let them enjoy his fresh, clean coat. The staff at The Paw Spa were nice at drop off and especially friendly when we picked up our boy (he loves charming folks and wins over everybody). As our old boy needs to meet new people every day or he gets very grumpy his clean soft coat draws everybody who sees him to pet him and be charmed by him. Our clean boy is getting so many new friends we haven't heard a grumpf or grumble or complaint in the week since the grooming. So, so nice for us! We're planning on becoming regulars and will be bringing both dogs in the future for regular grooming. One funny thing is the way we tell these 2 dogs apart is the color of their heads, dad is darker. Well, after dad's grooming he had lightened to match his son's color and for a week we couldn't tell them apart. But, this breed is known to change color often, and after a week he's starting to darken again.

Great first time experience with a wonderful groomer!…read more First time I took Lila to get professionally clean, typically I'll just bathe her at home but she was in much need of a ear rinse and nail trim. Scheduling was easy, and I was happy to know the Grooming service I chose included ear rinse and nail trim. Bruna was wonderful with my high-energy pup. She even offered to used a nail grinder since my pup has sensitive paws. Lila left the studio a new pup! She smelled wonderful for a whole week and wasn't itchy how she normally is. Her coat felt super soft, her ears were incredibly clean, and her nails were nice and short so she won't hurt herself when she scratches. Overall I know Lila had a great time getting professionally clean with Bruna. Bruna definitely cares for all the pups that walk in her studio. She was very gentle with Lila and did everything possible to make her comfortable. Lila will definitely be going back!
