The walkers were always on time and provided a much needed bathroom, exercise, and food break for my pup. I looked forward to the daily pictures and visit description. Every interaction with David and his fantastic team was positive. I found them to be highly competent, honest, flexible, and caring. I recommend DPS to care for your pet when you can't. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks to Emily C., I got a great recommendation for cat sitting. Over the course of about a year,…read moreI scheduled Jessica to come visit my two cats, including a longer trip of a couple of weeks. When I first met Jessica, I appreciated her thoroughness going over material about my cats and asking questions. My cats were immediately drawn to her. The business is also run like a very well-oiled machine. You can pay invoices and get daily reports all in one interface, which is handy for keeping everything in one place. I definitely loved seeing the daily updates, as well. I'd be lucky to find as good of a pet sitter in my new neighborhood!

We explored several doggie daycare facilities before landing on Bark Palace. After almost a year of…read moresending our pup here, we are certain we made the right choice. My wife, myself, and most importantly our dog love Bark Palace and their staff. Pros: - During our initial enrollment, our dog was primarily kept up front with the staff for several days as a trial run to ensure he was comfortable being with the other dogs - The back room has many different sections to separate different types of dogs, and includes access to an outside area. This was a big differentiator, as many of the other places we looked at seemed to indicate they'd drop our little guy in a big room with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. - They seem to be very flexible in terms of scheduling/timing. As long as we are somewhat "regulars," we don't need to notify them of which days our dog will be coming. They also have great hours for drop off (opening as early as 6:30 on most days) and pickup, and the few times we've boarded our dog, we've been able to pick him up on the weekends. - All of the folks working there have been great and seem to be true dog lovers, including the owners who are often times there working themselves. They also frequently post pictures and videos of the dogs playing. Cons: - Some of the people there are NY Giants fans. Our dog, Brady (named after the greatest), doesn't seem to mind too much, though.

I like the cameras they have in the front office, so you get to see what the dogs are doing in the back. The dog suites are spacious and well lit.

I strongly recommend them!!!

Naturally I continued bringing all my pets to this office however, recently changed vets. In reflection 10+ years is a LONG time to be a patron but unfortunately I feel the quality of service declined. The well being of my pets is very important to me despite the cost and I found services provided by MacDonald's to no longer be worth it. Once changing vets I was presented with numerous health concerns that should've been identified by MacDonald's. Dr. Bouchard IS a caring veterinarian however, the practice has become a nostalgic place for us. In further years to come I hope this office will modernize themselves and continue to better care for pets and pet parents alike.

Unlike another service I used for awhile, they are well enough staffed that they have been able to handle a couple of last-minute requests for visits (although I try not to do that!).

Kim, the owner, answered my first call personally and told me about her company and how she does background checks on all of her employees and she gave me a good sense of how they work. She made an appointment to meet at my house a few weeks before our vacation, we went over the pets, food, feeding times, trash day....all that stuff. Very professional. When I got home, other than a pile of mail on my kitchen table, it was like I never left. My cats were happy, fed, their litter box was clean and I was happy. I will DEFINITELY use them for my future pet sitting needs. Give them a try. Peace of mind with your pets is priceless (oh and WH Pet Sitters has reasonable pricing, at least for Cat Visits).

Please please ask to see where the dogs are kept during the day, your dog will be left in a crate…read moreall day on a cement floor with no blankets, kennel sprayed with water and left not fully dried when they use the bathroom( and sometimes even the dog sprayed out of carelessness) , and if signed up for daycare don't be fooled they get to play in a room for a short amount of time and then will be put right back in those wet cement crates. If your dog is signed up for walks it goes around that little path out in front of the place and then right back into the crates. The workers will mishandle your dogs, call them cruel names, and physically push them where they want them to go. Your dogs are not being treated the way you think, if they seem happy when you pick them up it's because they are so relieved to be out of this awful place NOT because they had a good time.
