Katya worked with me very, very last minute & was professional from the start. She loved on our pup multiple times throughout the day with pictures sent to me every visit. Very excited to have someone local & running her own small business! Thank you again, Katya!
I have Katya cat sit my 6 cats when we are away. She is exceptional with her care. She loves my cats & plays with them when she is here. I am very particular about my fur babies, they are my family so having someone I can trust with them is monumental. I love her like a Granddaughter. The first time I met her I knew she would be absolutely great with my babies. She is the best there is!
10/10 recommend Katya service! I needed someone on such short time notice & she made sure Dior was taken care of! Very accommodating & affordable! She even sends you pictures/updates when she goes to see your furry friend! Dior can’t wait to see you again!
Katya is a great pet sitter! She makes sure to send photos each day. She helps this mama feel more at ease when we’re on vacation. I know our baby is safe. I’d recommend her services to anyone who needs a sitter! 😊 …
Katya and her team are fantastic! She’s accommodated me on EXTREMELY short notice more than once, a total godsend. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the amount of care she does. I love getting the pictures of my sweet girl when she’s on a walk or snuggling on the couch. I’ve used her for drop-ins, dog walking and overnight boarding. All have been fantastic experiences.
Fantastic care for our dog! Great communication and lots of love and play time. Katya has created a strong network of great pet sitters. We were thrilled and will definitely use her services again!
My experience with Katya has always been super positive. Whether i’m giving plenty of notice or in a pinch, she is always willing to help. I have two guinea pigs, so finding care for them is harder than I had originally anticipated. After meeting for a consolation (which was so kind of her to offer), I have had a phenomenal experience with her care. My guinea pigs always return happy and healthy (sometimes sad that they’re leaving her). I just appreciate how attentive Katya is to their needs!! Highly recommend!!
I hired this company and I was told the fee was $150 total but the babysitter who came and showed up to collect the remaining money said oh no ma’am it’s only $120 and I had 150 in the envelope, I rearranged my vacation to go away on August 27 to the 30th so that I could use the same babysitter Until I found out that the owner would not let up on collecting that extra $30 she was bent on communicating with me every day to get a $30 fee when I gave them 120 because of the babysitter saying oh no, you don’t need to give 150 I gave $120 She says I’ll just use the extra 30 for my Tip. I had arrangements to meet the babysitter to pay her on Saturday and this owner Katika was relentless on trying to collect that additional $30 from me. I already had it set up between the babysitter and I we were doing just fine until Katika got involved so if you wanna Cooperative Company who has their act together who communicates with their employees so they don’t try to charge their client more money than I would say go elsewhere because the owner of this company is not someone you wanna deal with. They are more interested in getting your money than they are and taking care of your dog
Katya took wonderful care of our black lab while we were gone for a long weekend at the beach! She sent updates with photos or videos with every visit which was very reassuring to know he was doing well. Would definitely recommend Katya to care for your pets and will have her come back again!
Katya took excellent care of our puppy while we were away. highly recommended.
Laura came to petsit our 4 dogs while we were away for a week in August 2024. We were SOOO pleased with her services! She sent us several pictures and updates every day which really put our minds at ease while we were away. 5 stars for MFPS hands down!!! We will definitely be using them again in the future!
We’ve now used Mortizen Family Pet Sitting twice and have had amazing experiences both times. After having a really terrible experience with a different pet sitter, we were extremely hesitant to trust someone with our three pups again. However, every single person that we’ve worked with or spoken to at MFPS has been exceptional to work with. They have clear communication and we really appreciated the follow up ensuring we were pleased with the service. We had a different sitter both times, but they both communicated thoroughly, sent pictures, and you could tell they loved up on our pups. We are thankful that we found them and now don’t have to stress that our boys won’t get amazing care while we are away. We will definitely continue to use them and highly recommend using their services!
Simply said, these folks are exceptional. Having used Moritzen Family Pet Sitting regularly over the last two years I can confidently say that I cannot imagine better service. They are caring, dependable, observant, respectful, proactive, great communicators, and pricing is reasonable. They have gone above and beyond what I could expect and have been graciously flexible when I have needed scheduling changes. I have never had to worry about a thing when Moritzen Family Pet Sitting service is in charge - they are the best ever.
10/10, 5 stars, fantastic!! My pups, Ava and Dixie love their daily visits from Laura at Moritzen Family Pet Sitting! Laura is super efficient and sends thorough text updates and the cutest pictures after each visit. She is even willing to take the extra care steps that our puppy needs. You can tell she cares and that’s so important to us. I highly recommend this awesome pet sitting company!!
Moritzen Family Pet sitting took care of my 5 month old puppy like she was a member of their family. I was initially nervous because my pup was so young, but Laura abated all my fears with her daily pictures and in depth notes daily after her visit. I knew Rori was in great hands and was an to enjoy my time away without worrying. They are flexible to last minute changes, very reasonable and true pet lovers.
I have trusted McKenzie to Heather and her team for five years. This group of dedicated folks have supported me for long term pet sitting and short notice occasions . They are reliable, responsive, clean and friendly. We all know our pets are members of the family. I trust Moritzen’s 1000%.
Wonderful experience with MFPS. My girls were well taken care of (along with flower and strawberry watering, mail and newspapers brought in). Eye drops given to one of my girls. Loved the twice a day updates. Communication prompt. When we got home and opened the door the girls facial expressions told us they were disappointed we were home. They were looking for their new best friend Tyler. I will definitely utilize their services again. Highly recommend. 💜
We have had Moritzen Family Pet Sitting watch our dog since February and they are fantastic! They are huge on communication, reliable, friendly, and very trustworthy pet sitters! They do overnight stays and much more. We are so appreciative of everything they do for us. Highly recommend!
We left our elderly dog home for the first time last weekend with Laura from the Moritzen team and we can’t say enough positive things. She checked in with us along the way and was extremely thoughtful of Daisys health and safety. My mind was at ease completely within 5 minutes of her being at our house. Very professional from start to finish!!
Laura and Heather have been wonderful with my boy. Timing is perfect every day and he’s so happy (proof in all the pics I get of him smiling). I would highly recommend to anyone who a fur baby
Sophie, Cara, Whitney & the entire OUDT team make my heart smile. My clowder is spoiled thanks to this crew. I can be in a different state on a subway or a boat and receive pictures and commentary that make me laugh and enjoy the present moment. Trustworthy, ethical, think outside the box, and don't back down from any challenging situation (i.e. convincing a Dane who hates rain that he should head out to enjoy his walk). I've been disappointed by neighbors/friends - not this crew! The app is so easy to utilize as well - check it out!
Once Upon a Dog Tail is a wonderful, professional service! Cara and her team are excellent to work with and they really love our dog! He looks forward to their visit every day! Great people and a I highly recommend it! Patty
Once Upon a Dog Tail has cared for our pets for a few years. They always do a great job and provide us with peace of mind so we can enjoy our time away. We receive daily updates and photos and are able to communicate with the pet sitters via their app. Our pets get to remain in their own environment which is less stressful for them.
The team at Once Upon a Dog Tail is such a wonderful service. I own and operate a dog walking/ pet sitting business in New York. One of my clients recently moved to PA and was looking for a responsible, reliable, professional company to care for their pets. . So, I referred my client to Once Upon a Dog Tail and they were so thankful for the referral. I am so happy to know that there are other wonderful companies out there that really care about their clients. If I ever have a client that is moving to that area of PA again, I will GLADLY send them to Once Upon a Dog Tail!
Cara, Sarah Y. and all the OUADT staff are wonderful! They are professional, reliable and caring, and our pup always looks forward to their visits when we are gone. They also send great update messages with photos after the visit. Would highly recommend them to anyone!
My dad trusts this wonderful company with our family dog, Eddie, and our cat, Tina. He forwards their email updates and pictures of the pets to my brother, sister, and me and we love it! I am so glad to know that our pets are in such good hands when my dad travels all over the country. Thank you Once Upon a Dog Tail for being so awesome!
This business is the best of the best; well run and staffed, excellent caregivers and definitely worth paying a bit more than other services. Our petsitter Naomi sent us daily pictures and briefings on our dog and two cats while we were in Italy; it made it so much easier to have a good time knowing our pets were in good hands. I felt she went above and beyond what she had to do, and was very caring and responsible to our animals. Planning to use them again and would highly recommend.
Once Upon a Dog Tail was the BEST pet sitting service that I have ever used. The owner is wonderful and went beyond all my expectations to make sure that our three cats were cared for and loved while we were gone. Since we had 2 and a half feet of snow while we gone, the owner made sure the cats were set with food and water before the storm and the owner's husband personally made the snowy trek to our house the day after the storm to get our cats fresh water and food. The owner also made attempts to get our driveway plowed for us before we returned and even picked up glass from a light that broke from winds while we were gone. Above and beyond all my expectations!!! I highly recommend Once Upon a Dog Tail. You will not be disappointed with their services!!!
The team at OUADT is reliable, kind, compassionate, and awesome with my dogs. I have a high maintenance pack - crate and rotate requirements, medications, escape artists - and yet I never worry when OUADT is taking care of them. I love the messages and pictures I her after each visit. I know my doggos are loved and well cared for in my absence.
I moved to Lancaster from Philly at the beginning of September of this year. Besides moving, one of my top priorities was finding a great pet sitting company for my 11-year-old calico cat, Candy, since I'm out of town for quite a few weekends and holidays. Naomi was able to meet with us that Sunday so that I could get care scheduled for the following weekend! Everyone at OUADT provides wonderful care to Candy while I'm away--it shows that they are animal lovers! I love how they use the Time to Pet app and write a message with photos after each visit. Even when Candy has days that she likes to hide and not be social, it's evident that they still love seeing her! On other occasions, Candy greets them at the door and is social, allowing pets! After our meet and greet I felt completely confident that Candy would receive great care, and she has, each and every visit. I'd highly recommend that anyone looking for pet care in the Lancaster area contact OUADT!
Phil from Jogs with Dogs Pet Sitting was great to work with from scheduling the service to taking our dog out twice while we attended an event. I would use them again if needed. Thank you for taking care of our pup
They are amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of dropping my dog in her care multiple times and she’s great with him. My dog is very anxious and usually have a difficult time with sitters, but he loves her. Thank you so much Imane for taking great care of my baby.
Imane is absolutely amazing and such a joy to be around! My dogs might like her even more than I do! She is very professional and on time. There was no waiting around which was very important to me. I plan on continuing to use her services and recommend this company to all my friends with dogs!
Imane is one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. Not only is she great with people, but she is great with pets! She is high quality in every sense of the word. She’s professional, personal, shows up on time and my dog loves loves loves her! Jogs with Dogs is a thumbs up for me! 👍 …
So glad to have Jogs with Dogs as my dog walker/runner. Philip has become my dogs' best friend. He gives the dogs a great workout and lets me know how they did on their outings. Philip is a pleasure to work with -- he's helped me get the pets to the vet. I wholeheartedly recommend him!
I have two “shorkies” with high maintenance that required extra time and energy for them to be satisfied fully. Due to my busy work schedule; I struggled with finding the time to burn their energy and of course potty training them Was a huge problem. I Requested a try-out service from jogs with dogs & Luckily; I was assigned to the most sweetest, patient, reliable and well trained Personel. Her name is “Imane” and I will not see myself changing to another company. My dogs are now happier, potty trained and way relaxed when I come home from work. I highly recommend this company and it’s staff!!! They are trustworthy, dedicated and full of love. Their dedication is for training, caring and giving all their love to our pets.
I highly recommend choosing “Jogs with Dogs” for your fur baby. Imane is great with mine. She is very energetic and caring . I will definitely continue to work with her and their staff😊 …
You guys need to hit this young lady up, she took care of my dog and even offer to board him while I travel. She’s the sweetest.
If I trust them with my babies, you KNOW it’s 5 stars! Very professional, kind, and clean.
This company or dog trainers and pet sitters is great. I'd put my name on it.
Sophie loved her grooming session, she came back happy and expertly groomed!
Have been taking my dogs for grooming for several years always very happy with how my animals look, very friendly staff
Thanks to Laurel for her patience with Peluche during his first full grooming! He was super excitable and not so easy to handle but she did a great job with him!!
I've been taking my dog here for a few months, and he loves it! I have a Jack russell, and he is actually tired when I pick him up. Staff is great, definitely recommend.
Safe, clean and well organized. Obviously the impact on the dog is what's most important and our dog is happy and well cared for at daycare and while boarded there. She was a puppy mill rescue.
Kelly has been grooming my boy for years now. He is not a fan of being groomed. Kelly is so good with him and she does a fabulous job!
The Complete Canine Center is positively outstanding all around. The owner and her staff are professional and friendly and the facility is exceptionally immaculate. My dog is always ready for her "school" days! Highly recommended!!
Kelly does a wonderful job in the grooming department. She has taken wonderful care of all of our dogs over the years.
We bring both of our dogs here and we love it! They truly love what they do and it shows in how they care for your pets! Thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Tucker and Monty!
Inquired about bringing my dog in for Daycare. Was instructed I needed to schedule an appointment. Scheduled the appointment and told them I would be traveling to get there for the appointment. Received a call 30 mins before my scheduled appointment to cancel after I left work early to make the appointment at the time they requested. Unwilling to accomadate a he mistake and sent me on my way.
We love Kat! Our dog Tina is always so happy to go there, play with her friends, and see Kat. She’s friendly, easy to connect with in last minute drop offs, and always sends pics of our precious Tina. Highly recommend, Kay’s great!!
My dog Buckley is 12 years old and has never stayed with anyone except my brother. I was concerned he would be unhappy and worried staying anywhere else. He was very content and happy with Kat at Barks & Parks and seemed to bond with them right away. She sent pictures every day and updated me as to what she was doing with him. I felt very good knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying his stay. I would recommend Kat to give your fur baby a home atmosphere while you are away.
Kat was amazing with Noah during his 3-day boarding. I was immediately comforted when talking to her the first time, hearing about her experience and ambition in transitioning to animal care full-time. Her place was clean, spacious, with a quaint outdoor patio. Noah has separation anxiety so I was very nervous and picky about where he would stay. He was wagging his tail and happy when we picked him up. A 5-star experience! Thanks Kat!
This was our first time boarding our furbaby, Nala, so we were naturally a bit nervous. From the first moment we met Kat, she put us at ease and left us with the impression that she would love on our dog..and we were right! Every day, she followed our instructions and suggestions to a “T”; taking our dog on two walks a day, spoiling her rotten. I think Nala still misses her! 😂 if we are in need of boarding again, Kat will be our first choice and would highly recommend Barks&Parks Pet Services!
Kat took care of my dog as part of her doggie daycare service. She kindly both picked him up and brought him back to my home. While under her care they took several walks, and she shared pictures via a dog sitting app, which was awesome. When my pup returned, he was was happy and clearly had a great time. I definitely recommend Barks & Parks Pet Services based on my experience.
Kat was awesome! Our dog Harper was well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy field trips and the best care! We even got updates with photos!! You will not be disappointed!! I highly recommend Kat!
Our dogs love Kat and her boyfriend. One of our dogs gets excited anytime she gets in the car now, thinking she’s headed to daycare. Kat has been great staying in touch and keeping us updated throughout the day. We feel very fortunate that we found her. I highly recommend her for whatever dog care services you may need, your pup will be in good hands.
I have dealt with Kat for a few months now. She is so loving with my dogs and they love her. She’s very professional and I love the way she sends pictures after taking my dogs for a walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for any of her services. She also boarded my dogs for 2 days which also was great.
5 STARS!!! VERY Happy with this service! My dog Deanna is 10.5 yrs old and recently started having seizures (in March of 2022). We went on vacation in May and booked her with a local kennel (NOT this one). I couldn't confirm that they were or were not giving her her seizure meds, as when we returned & picked her up she had a seizure that night and several more a day afterward. Needless to say when it came time to go to Lancaster PA for a vacation in July which is 2.5 hrs from home, I was VERY worried on where I would leave her and what I would do if something should happen. THEN I found Barks & Parks Pet Services!! We drove out, dropped her off with Kat, and then went to our hotel which was 10 minutes away! Talk about convenience! Deanna had a WONDERFUL TIME there!!! She got along with the other dogs (which is not the norm!). When I first dropper her off the 1st day she seemed apprehensive which I expected. I did NOT expect to hear how well she was getting along with her new friends and how after a few days was fitting right in to her old routine! I wish I could leave her there ANY time we go away! This is a WONDERFUL alternative to a regular kennel. It is a regular house, where the dogs are in a more home-like environment as opposed to in a kennel. I highly recommend barks & parks!!
Kat’s service through Barks & Parks was exceptional!! Our little dog was walked and cared for so well, we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. We received twice daily updates on how she was doing along with the cutest pictures. We were incredibly pleased with Barks and Parks and would definitely use this home-like dog boarding service again!!!.
I connected with Woof Roof several years ago. Cooper and Summer are rescued dogs who have never been crated since in my care. I needed a place that would “feel like home”. I found that with Dolores. Even the fanciest kennel doesn’t provide 24/7 human contact, including letting the dogs sleep with them. I’ve only found that at Woof Roof. Dolores always provides pictures and updates so I always feel connected to my fur babies.
Delores has been taking care of our 16 month old goldendoodle since he was only a 3 months old. Imagine needing to leave your new pup only a week or so after he comes into your life. She was extremely comforting and made us feel very confident that Remy would not only be well taken care of (dare I say doted over as a new pup), but he'd have fun and stay on track with his training routine. Remy is always excited as soon as we pull in the driveway at Woof Roof's home. They only take in well-behaving dogs, so we know Remy will have a good experience socializing. We love getting video updates and photos to keep us connected when we are away. You can tell how much they love dogs, in how they respect the dogs and support the owners. I highly recommend!
We always feel good about leaving Jack with Delores & Mark! We know he's well cared for and loved! It's really nice to get pics of him enjoying time with other dogs and being content during his stay. I am so glad we do not have to put him in a kennel -- he's much more comfortable and secure in a warm home setting.
I always feel my dog Is in the best of hands when I leave her with this delightful , caring couple. Bella has been coming to their home for the past 3 plus years and they take wonderful care of her. I never have to worry. And honestly makes going away, A delight. They love dogs and Bella loves going there. I will always ask them first for their availability, taking care of Bella, prior to my planning of my trips.
Delores and Mark have taken care of my lovely Lucy a couple of times. When we pull into their driveway, Lucy runs for the door, eager to see them. It's refreshing to have people I can rely on where I know my dog will be happy too!
Delores loves dogs and dogs love her...my Standard Poodle is a momma's boy but at drop off, he just runs to the door and says "see you in a couple of days - Have fun Mom!"
Please do not use this pet sitting company. Delorus, the owner, walked my 2dogs for about 6 months. Delorus was going through a rough patch financially and I offered to pay her for her walking services ahead of time, which was around $400. Well, all the sudden she started complaining about my lab being awful on his walk to the point where she said he hurt her arm. I got suspicious. I then ended her services. Delorus still owed me some of the money that I had pre paid her which was around $130. I was constantly calling with no avail. Then, one day I went to my car and there was an envelope it was from Delorus. She had written a check for a 1/4 of what she owed me stating that I had my amount incorrect which was totally not true. Needless to say she stole from me lesson learned! It’s a shame in today’s society we try and help people and then get stabbed in the back....
My Phantom LOVES spending time with Delores and Mark! They give him so much attention and love.
Great place to take your babies...your pets!
I have had bad experiences in the past with o bels but Besa Pets has been above and beyond! My dog Clove has some separation anxiety and can be high strung, every time I drop her off at Besa Pets, she is beyond excited to see the owners! She always tries to stretch over the counter to see them! She never seems super stressed when I pick her up either which is a huge relief! I would recommend Besa Pets to anyone who asks. The owners are fantastic and you can tell how deeply they care for your pets!
Our “little” guy gets nervous around new people and places and they’ve done such a great job making him feel welcome and comfortable! They are very caring and understanding, I highly recommend Besa Pets 💙 …
We love Besa Pets! They have the best pricing in the area and do a great job. Highly recommend!
The owners are incredibly responsive and professional. Each dog gets ample play time, water, and attention! Their pricing is reasonable. I am so happy to have found them. It is also a smaller facility, which is a better fit for our dog.
Besa Pets took great care of our Lucy! They put in extra effort to make sure she had a good experience for her first boarding stay.
I used Besa Pets for the first time to board my two huskies for 9 days and my dogs came back home happy and healthy. They had excellent communication, answered all my questions, made sure my dogs were safe in the yard and provided me with an update while I was away. I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to others. Reasonably priced as well compared to other nearby kennels and it was close to home, so it was a win all around!
We’ve boarded our dog a few times now and have zero complaints. The owners are super friendly and helpful and our dog comes home happy and healthy. We can tell our dog feels comfortable there and doesn’t get stressed, as she has at other larger boarding facilities. I can’t recommend this place enough.
The staff at Besa makes it easy to feel comfortable leaving your pet in their care. Owners/staff are friendly, responsive and have an obvious love for dogs. Our pup came home from a week long stay exhausted but HAPPY and completely himself… something we haven’t been able to say with every place we’ve boarded him. We will definitely be back.
I was nervous leaving my 2 dogs as I never tried a kennel before. The staff was super friendly and answered any questions I had. Pricing is fair and other kennels charge almost $75/day. I was happy to get compliments about my 2 dogs when I picked them up. I will recommend Besa to others and will use them again. Thank you Besa Pets!
We used Besa Pets boarding for the first time while we took a week vacation and we loved it!!! Five stars!!! The place look super clean, safe and secured. Great service and very responsive... I contacted them mid week to check on our dog because he tends to get home sick and received a prompt update. I will definitely use Besa's service again!!!
We love this place! Most importantly, our Carmelo loves this place. Always so excited to go and makes it less stressful when we go away! Thank you for making him feel like he has another home away from home!
We recently moved to PA, and Eleanor (4 yrs old) has had the same groomer since she was a puppy. Finding a new, trustworthy groomer wasn’t an easy task. We are so happy to have found Gochenauer. Eleanor had a good experience, and she looks great. We particularly appreciate the excellent communication we have with them.
This place was recommended by co worker. My pup loves getting a "pawspa" day. 1st photo is after & 2nd photo is before.
Gochenour pet resort is a great place to get your pet groomed, and I hear their boarding is great as well. If you're looking for a new groomer for your dog, I recommend you try Gochenour’s. They always do a great job! Thank you for your services.
I have been with this great place for 8 1/2 years … very happy with the boarding and grooming . They are very kind and really care about people and their pets
Forewarning, I am actually a former employee and not a customer. But I feel as if my review should be even moreso impactful since I have seen all the "behind the scenes" and nitty gritty. I worked for Gochenaeur Pet Resort part time during my pregnancy in addition to my full time job. They treat the dogs excellently and their system is practically flawless. If they tell you they will give your dog a special treat you packed for them, your dog gets that treat. If you request they get their favorite toy, I promise they got it. It is incredibly clean and biohazard free. They are an incredible staff who are truly all animal lovers. As an employee, even part time and only there for a short time, they treated me like family and I was exposed to some of the best working conditions I've ever experienced. They throw little parties for important life occasions, even barely knowing me I was given a "mother to be" celebration with the other pregnant women in the facility. I have since left Gochenaeur's to pursue a home job where I now work comfortably and am with my baby all day, and yet months later, I still think about how wonderful of a place it is!
First grooming here for our bernedoodle puppy. A little shorter than expected, but overall good job! Reasonable pricing for that doodle crazy fur.
I don't know how I feel about this place. The fact that there is an extra charge/fee to play with the cats being boarded, makes me feel like they may not be cared for as well as the dogs there. The cats are cooped up in a room for the majority of the day without much interaction. Yes, dogs don't use a litter box, and need to be walked, but the fact that I would have to pay you to acknowledge and interact with my pet doesn't sit quite right with me. And as expensive as it is to board a cat, you shouldn't have to pay for the staff to play with a self-sufficient animal that doesn't need to be walked or picked up after as much as a dog. I've been reading some of the reviews and the majority are from dog owners, so it is obvious this place is geared much more towards dogs; which is fine, but cats still need some attention & love too!
I would never trust any other facility with the health and safety of my babies! The girls at the front desk are always kind and absolutely ADORE my boys. They always make a big deal out of seeing them :) they always come home clean and happy! My smallest aussie is a puppy mill rescue and is VERY wary of people. Even with his quirks the staff is patient and caring. They were just there in the beginning of August while I was on vacation. They were informative and up front about the strain of kennel cough circulating nationally that isn't covered by the current vaccine and explained their sanitization process thoroughly. Very grateful for the staff and their love of all of our babies!
This was our first time boarding Maddie at Gochenauer Kennels and I couldn’t have been more impressed. We were worried because Maddie is dog reactive but Gochenauer’s took every precaution to make sure Maddie was comfortable and safe. She had a great time playing with the friendly staff and making new human friends! Staff member, Sam C., is extremely knowledgeable and simply incredible with dogs. We wouldn’t want Maddie to stay anywhere else while we are away on vacation! We always know that she will be well taken care of and having a great time at Gochenauer’s!
First experience with boarding our 6yr old dog. The staff was very compassionate and sent me pictures and updates. I feel like she was under great care and they paid attention to her and her needs. She seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Oscars and will be using them again in future!
We take our yellow lab here for boarding. She has separation anxiety and I’m confident she is well loved and cared for while we are away. We had one poor experience but they followed up with me on it. It’s a beautiful location and the dogs all seem happy while there. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
My husband and I take our 4 month old bully XL here to Oscers for the training classes and we thought we would give there nail salon a try and I was very impressed on how the staff took care of our puppy the staff are so caring sweet and I would definitely recommend this place
Wonderful private training with Michelle! Have been taking my German shepherd for a couple sessions now and have had nothing but great experiences here. Love their method of training and how much they care about treating animals the right way and teaching them correctly! Already seeing a huge improvement in Bailey and I am excited to keep bringing her here!
They are caring and knowledgeable They offer alot of services that make it easy for my pets. I love the 1:1 attention my dogs get when I bored them overnight The grooming is top notch and the groomer is experienced and very friendly..
We had an excellent experience at Oscar's. It was our first experience here. Our groomer had hand surgery. Our friends bring their "fur ball" here and recommended Oscars.They were very friendly and groomed Molly just like she is normally groomed. Would highly recommend them.
Boarded the dog there for a week and he came out happy and tired from playing happily with the other dogs. Last time I boarded at the country club in manheim he came out to us scared and ge was sick. I'll never go there again. This time he was happy and seemed to enjoy his vacation here at oscars. Wish I would have taken him here sooner. Staff is friendly and efficient getting us in and out quickly without forgetting about fussing the dog- the most important part!
I tried to bring my dogs here to be groomed on a Saturday. My appointment was supposed to be at 11 am. They called me at 8 the day of to tell me they had cancellations and of I could bring the dogs in that would be great, this would not have been a problem but during the course of the conversation they told me I would need to drop the dogs off at 11 or before and would not be able to pick them up until 4-6. They said this is because "on Saturdays they only can check people out from 4-6pm." I asked them how long grooming takes and they said 2-3 hours. So then I asked what do my dogs do the rest of the time they are stuck there for no reason and they said they put them in crates. So if you're a first time customer here and have a morning appointment on a Saturday they will take your dog, from them and then force them to be in a crate for more hours than they are being groomed. I waited3 weeks for this appointment and had to cancel because my dogs get anxiety being locked in a crate. Never heard of another groomer wanting to hold your dogs because they can only check you out from 4-6. Definitely would not recommend trying to do business with this place.
We took our dog here for puppy classes and it was great. Michelle was a wonderful class instructor and would recommend her to anyone. They do group and private classes. Not unreasonable pricing either
This has been the best experience for dog boarding. The staff all care about the pets and the owners. Our puppo Lucy is excited to go there and spend time with the staff and other doggos. My heart feels full knowing she's in great hands with people who care about her.
An amazing business to help with any of your pet needs while you are away. One night or 3 weeks! Call them. Simple job or super complicated? They will do it no problem. Always on time and always with care. I recommend to my friends all the time.
The best caring and in time pet sitting surface. They go beyond anyone else I ever used. Trust worthy, polite and gives your animal attention the way it should be. Anja does a great job!
Jess and her friendly and professional staff always exceed expectations! I have 100% trust in her business to take the absolute best care of my babies! My fur family is certainly a handful. I have a 12 year old, 10 lb little man who needs daily medications multiple times a day. His medicines require him to be put out frequently. He also has heart disease and anxiety. I have a 2 year old kitty cat with the zoomies who likes to try and sneak out. Jess with her supervisory veterinary experience and knowledge have proven to handle our crazy! She responds to all inquiries in a speedy and concise manner. Jess and her staff go above and beyond with their communication. I appreciate her updates and pictures while away. I cannot thank Jess and her family and business for their loving, kind and passionate approach. They are the best!
This was my first time using a pet sitter and it very much paid off! Jessica and Matt are warm and inviting and asked all the right questions for when they watched my cat. I came back and found my house clean and my cat happy as can be! Even when I had a question at 9PM, they picked up my call and assisted me. Not only that, they are the most reasonably priced pet sitters in the greater Lancaster area. A great company that I will definitely be using in the future!
What a caring team! One of our dogs is very skittish around strangers and cannot stay in a traditional kennel, but she is a champ when she is in Jess + Matt's care! We are never worried when we are away because we know both of our babies are in good hands! I couldn't recommend them enough to people! Keep up the great work, YPOM team!!
YPOM is our dog’s second home! We have been with them since they started - and have always been pleased. Our pup is always happy to see Jess, Matt, and the kids, and seems to love being with them, which gives us super peace of mind while traveling. We highly recommend them - as they name says - in your place or theirs - you won’t be disappointed!
We really appreciate Jessica and Matt's caring approach to pet care. The first time Matt came to walk our scared little rescue dog, Rocky refused to leave his crate. Matt spent a lot of time (and treats) coaxing him and finally got him outside. Since then, Rocky loves Matt! We always know that our animals are in good hands with Your Place or Mine Pet Sitting!
We've been using YPOM for three years now, and are extremely happy with their services. Our two kitties always receive excellent care. It's nice having piece of mind when we are away, and it's nice to know that we can add extensions or changes with short notice.
Love these guys! They are very professional yet very attentive and kind to our animals. Administering medication to our cat was not an issue for them. On top of everything, they even checked our hot tub for us after a bad storm! Thank you-thank you for being awesome in every way!
As a SUPER picky kitty owner, I only want the best care for my pets when my wife and I are out of town. Jess is the answer to our prayers! She has years of clinical experience to not only give medicines as needed but can also identify if, heaven forbid, your pet would become sick while you're away. I explicitly trust her and her crew with my pets.
