Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking. Thank you Deborah.
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!

I placed my pittie mix there while we were on vacation. He's very high energy and I worried that my mom could not handle how active he is (and she's 74). The staff eased my dog mom anxieties about leaving my baby. I felt so at ease knowing they were going to take such good care of him! And boy did they! They sent me pix and he looked like he was living his best life! The facility was clean, organized, and staff were all amazing! If I could give them 10 stars I would!
They are the absolute best. They did extremely well with my dog who has SEVERE separation anxiety. Shared a photo of the first day there and a photo from a few days later. She is also so great at giving updates while your pet stays 🤗 …
Took my rescue, Hazel Jo, Border Terrier, Today and had a very good experience. They gave her a very nice grooming. The people there were very friendly, and the place was clean.
Thank you so very much, he looks and smells great! I was very worried and you all must have a way with the fur babies. He went right with you and didn’t bust to get to me!!!! His little feet were so bad. Thank you!!! He will be back again and again!!!! Great price!!! I cannot believe you groom and have all those babies. It’s cleaner than a hospital!!!! ❤️💜💛💚💙
Came here for years and greatly appreciated their work however they no longer service large dogs. I was contacted by the owner, I thought, letting me know that they work with large dogs again. I just called to make an appointment and they told me they now don't. So strange. Confusing and kind of rude on the phone unfortunately. 😔 …
I have two standard poodles and Bakers is amazing with them. Most professional and friendly staff ever. My dogs love to go there.
Experienced getting my dog groomed here. Not at all what I asked for or showed a photo of. The groomer just completely ignored my request and shaved him. If I wanted him to be totally shaved down I could have done that myself and saved $100.
I don't know what they got going on. My dogs stayed there for 2 1/2 days and they smelled horrid. My guess they stayed in a indoor pin and just had their waste sprayed out.
I made an appointment to have my 2 year old male golden groomed here this week. The facility is beautiful and the staff were so friendly. I had Checked prices from other groomers and was prepared to pay $$$ for a bath, trim, and full deshed. But no- their prices were great and the work was amazing! My boy was so happy and spunky when I picked him up. I will definitely be a loyal customer here from now on. Thanks for your great work!
Greg is the best!! I have a senior golden retriever with separation anxiety and a little arthritis. He is gentle and kind and she is always excited to see him. She looks so amazing every time I pick her up and she smells wonderful ( wish I could keep her that way) The grooming area/ kennel is clean, bright and quiet. Not stressful at all like a pet store grooming place. I would definitely recommend Greg and Bakers Farm grooming to anyone!
This is a long review, but I wanted to be sure to share the details. TL;DR: I would not recommend this facility because of negligent communication that can cause significant harm to your pet. We sent our dog here for daycare for two separate periods of time. We had no complaints during that first period, but when he returned after a six month break, we were informed that he had a run-in with a dog from another room while that room was being cleaned. The next several times we picked our dog up, we asked if there had been any additional issues and we were told by staff, no, he was acting normally. Several months later, I was looking through pictures posted by P4P on their Facebook page and noticed my dog was not present in the room that we had been told he was assigned to. I kept scrolling and saw that he was in the “solo/open” group, which I had never heard of. When I picked our dog up that day, the owner brought him out, and I asked her what “solo/open” meant. She explained that the open group was a smaller group and that after our dog had returned to daycare in the spring, they had moved him to different rooms because he was not getting along with other dogs (showing herding behaviors including nipping and “being too crazy” in her words when dogs would come in and out). I asked her why this was the first I was hearing about this literally four months after his return and she did not have a satisfactory answer. I messaged later that night requesting to see his new setup, and she agreed that we could come in later in the week, and apologized for any miscommunication. When my partner arrived to look at the room that our dog was now placed in, she was rude and dismissive, telling him that she didn’t have time to deal with “this” today because too many of her staff had called out. Another staff member took my partner back to the boarding area, a much smaller area with a smaller run, surrounded by dogs in kennels, and needless to say, we cancelled the rest of our reservations. I requested a refund for the remaining sessions on our package, which I thought was more than reasonable considering we bought the last package (over $300) without being informed of the changes to our dog’s situation, but unsurprisingly, especially based on the other negative reviews on here, she never responded. The bottom line is that I would have expected to be told about any behavior patterns that led to my dog’s care being changed so that we could make an informed decision that would keep him, other dogs, and the staff safe. The absence of communication about the issues that led to his placement in a different situation that we were not told about is unacceptable and unprofessional. We won’t be sending our dog to any daycare facility now, because we’re worried that the situation he was placed in at P4P has made him reactive in large group settings—and he was certainly not like that before sending him here. Beware of this owner and this facility—she will not inform you if there are any issues that arise with your dog as long as she can find a way to keep taking your money.
review is based on boarding from 6/21/24-6/28/24 I recently dropped my just under 4 year old, 5.8 pound maltese off to Pampered 4 paws while i flew home for a few days. He stayed one week in total. I called for pricing and instructions on how to board the morning before drop off. I gave breed, weight, and age when calling and asked for specific instructions on pricing and documentation needed to board. I was given a price for his weight and instructions on the documentation needed to board. we arrived at around 5pm. First impression, the place is nice and looks professional and aesthetically pleasing. No red flags initially. when i arrived, i was greeted by a friendly young lady. I did see that communication was poor between staff when i was asked did i have a reservation, i politely replied no, i have my name and explained that i called that morning about boarding. I was told that they had to make sure there was availability being that they were near full. I felt as though that should have been explained to me when called, but no big deal. I was then told that he would be able to stay. When i asked about meals, i was told that i had to provide food. I wasn’t made aware of that prior to but no problem; i went and purchased food in which i bagged into a medium sized ziplock bag. I then gave my information and documentation needed and was on my way. When i dropped him there, he was freshly washed, as i knew he’d be there for a period of time. upon picking him up the following friday, i was given a price that wasn’t expected. When i asked for the breakdown, i was told i was charged a 5 dollar bagging fee for meals per day and she argued i did not bring food. Which i did, and he came out with the remainder of the food i supplied. I was told that he was placed in the largest suit, which i was not made aware of, even though his weight qualified for the smaller sweet that i was initially priced when i called and inquired about boarding. I feel as though their communication was very poor and unprofessional. None the less, the service was provided, irritated, but i paid the bill owed and remained respectful. my biggest problem is that when i received my dog back, his eye was completed matted with old discharge and was still draining. He is a furry dog, i did not inspect him once they gave him back to me as i quickly left. When i got back to my apartment i immediately noticed his eye. For the prices charged to care for our pets, the quality is not met. Not only did i receive a bill from them with charges i knew nothing about, but i now have a vet bill because of negligence. Here’s a photo of the same hour he was picked up.
We love p4p. The staff is amazing and care so much about all of the dogs. They are kind and very helpful. Our dog goes to daycare 2 times a week and gets soooo excited to see his doggie friends. They have birthday parties, Halloween parties, Valentine’s Day, an Easter hunt, it’s really awesome. Cannot say enough good things!
Booking is easy, but grooming service has long wait times. They offer cute doodle cuts.
My dog attended Pampered 4 Paws for about 3 months while I worked locally. During her last week I got a call that after multiple incidents she was no longer allowed for regular daycare. This was the first I ever heard of any problems so I was shocked. When speaking with the staff they described my dog as sometimes being perfect and sometimes being "bad" that broke my heart because all I ever heard when picking her up was that she was doing well. I'm also not accustomed to people who work with animals calling them "bad" versus speaking to what specific actions are problematic or what environmental factors contribute to their reactivity. We have used daycare in multiple states and never had an issue. I wish I could have known there were issues sooner so I could immediately remove her. I worry now that her experiences at this facility have made her reactive and that daycare may not ever be an option again. I think the limited interaction that pet parents get with staff via car-side pickup/drop-off doesn't lend itself to communicating about how the dogs are doing. Perhaps some kind of emailed report card would prevent important information from slipping through the cracks until it is too late.
I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with this facility for one day, for doggy day care, and it was truly disappointing and frustrating. The owner of this place was an absolute nightmare to deal with. From the moment I first reached out to enroll my dogs, it was clear that she had no interest in providing a pleasant and respectful customer experience. Initially, I gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking that maybe she was having a tough day. However, as I continued to interact with her, it became apparent that her behavior was consistent. First and foremost, the owner was incredibly rude and condescending. It felt like she believed she was doing me a favor by allowing my dogs to stay at her facility, which was far from the case. Her attitude was nothing short of disrespectful, and I couldn't believe how poorly she treated paying customers. Moreover, the owner's instructions were inconsistent and confusing. It was evident that she didn't even know her own procedures, as there was a stark lack of consistency between what she said and what her frontline staff told me. It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to plan for your pets' care, and you can't get clear and accurate information from the person in charge. The entire process of booking and paying for my dogs to stay here was a massive headache. There were an absurd number of unnecessary steps and hurdles to jump through, almost as if they wanted to make it as difficult as possible. It felt like I was begging for the "privilege" of paying them to keep my dogs in a cramped space. In summary, I wouldn't recommend this pet boarding facility to anyone. The owner's rude and condescending attitude, along with the inconsistency in instructions and the convoluted booking process, make this place a real headache to deal with. Save yourself the frustration and find a more customer-friendly establishment for your beloved pets. Dealing with someone like this, let alone an owner, is a complete waste of your time and energy. Go somewhere else.
We absolutely love Pampered 4 Paws! Once we discovered this place, we decided to take our golden retriever to daycare certain days when we are at work so he can socialize with other dogs and play so he isn’t alone all day. Not only does he have a blast at daycare, but they also will groom him before coming to pick him up just for the convenience of it! We’ve taken our golden several places to get groomed and haven’t had much luck in finding a decent spot until now. She did everything I asked and made him look like exactly how I was wanting! I never thought we would find a place that was able to groom him so well and make him look this good. Riki (the owner) groomed him and I cannot say enough good things about her. I highly recommend Pampered 4 Paws for any of your puppy needs!
We brought our dog here several times to be groomed. The staff could sometimes be very rude. While I genuinely appreciate their honesty about my dog's behavior, they accused us of not telling them our dog snapped at the dryer when that was never something previously mentioned at his other groomer and that had never been our experience when drying him at home either. Every time he would come home from here, he would take significant steps back in cooperative care (e.g., being okay/excited with nail trims, ear cleanings, and being brushed). We recognized that this could just be due to starting at a new grooming facility, so we had him groomed about 5 times. Sometimes his quick would be cut on several different nails which would explain his difficulty with nail trimmings at home following grooms. Each time, his groom really looked fantastic, and their pricing was incredibly fair. However, I cannot emphasize enough that he clearly did not feel comfortable here and that has not been his experience at two other facilities where they gave positive reports other than initial nervousness and I had never seen regression in cooperative grooming care at home. I recognize that it is normal for dogs to feel nervous and uncomfortable at the groomer, but there has been a stark difference in his behavior following being groomed at this facility vs others.
My 14 yr old lab loves it. The staff is very pleasant and professional. The groomer is excellent. My dog hates to have his nails trimmed. My vet wanted to sedate him. The groomer at pampered4pets takes him back and within 2 minutes trims his nails. He is not stressed out.
Pampered 4 Paws is our go to groomer for our Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever Mix! Today I took our new puppy in for a nail trim & had the BEST EXPERIENCE! The standard of care that we received exceeded my expectations! Riki & Morgan were SO kind, patient, & understanding with my nervous pup! They made the process an easy one. Highly recommend Pampered 4 Paws!!! 👏🐶
My boys love everyone here! Even when they haven’t been there in a few months - as soon as we walk in, all the ladies are greeting both of them. ♥️♥️ they get so happy to go and run with their friends. I also love following the Facebook page so I can see photos of their day.
We had a great first experience, my dog did not want to leave! I am impressed by the customer service and overall experience. We will definitely be back!
My son Rockee "The Rock Star" as they call him is always taken care of. He's family to them. I was nervous letting anyone watch him bc I never boarded before but after a few night stays, multiple times, I was convince that this place loves what they do. Rockee loves his other family at Blue Ribbon! I won't go no where else but Blue Ribbon!
Capone and Dutch absolutely LOVE going to see their Fur Friends & Human Friends at Blue Ribbon Daycare!!! I love seeing all the pictures of them playing! I recommend Daycare & Boarding to EVERYONE!
The staff is very friendly! My Kolohe came home still the same hardheaded but was easier to handle him with commands.
I love this place so much. The entire staff really takes great care of my dog. Hands down the best place for your pup to be. Chance is a very happy pup there.
Great place! Awesome! Training just started was so wonderful. Taking my boy to try daycare also. My boy Clarence!
Terrible experience. Use to frequently board 2 Great Danes with Blue Ribbon for both daily day care and long term stays. My dogs are regularly socialized. On the last occasion we had paid to have our dogs in daycare during the day so they weren’t locked in a kennel all day. Mid day, we show up to pick up our Danes to find they are in the kennel. No biggie. One Dane comes out completely confused. Without proof, I’m almost certain CBD or some sedative was used. A super active dog came out of there and pretty much slept for 3 days. My other Dane who is a super personable dog is now extremely afraid of larger people, to the point he will cower if approached. Especially if it’s a large man with facial hair, like the guy who brought us our dogs from the kennel. That was our last straw with blue ribbon. We have not returned and advise that if you have a large breed dog that you seek other local options.
My puppy and I attended the Basic dog training program for 4 nights. The instructors were knowledgeable,patient and professional. I highly recommend the evening classes for your dog training needs, there are a few different classes available to choose from. I urge you to reach out to them for your dog training and socializing needs.
I couldn't be more happy than I am with Blue Ribbon Dog Academy. My dog loves it there and I love the staff. They are super nice to my dog and they know him well. The parents of the other dogs are also nice.
Best kennel around! My dogs love Tamara better than me!! Lol. I know they are home away from home.
We had an agreed meeting time for between 7 and 9. We arrived just before 8, which is during normal drop off time and no one was there. We called several times and no one answered. One member of our rafting party had to stay behind so our family was split and we lost $100. Very frustrated.
Very clean, professional and friendly staff. Beautiful well kept kennels. Amazing grooming services!
Wonderful Kennel, you can really tell the owner loves each and every dog. Also, very well kept, with tons of toys and fun doggy things to do.
Excellent care of our dog while we were away. Tamara gave her a bath and trimmed our dog's nails before sending home. Clean safe environment for the dogs stay. Highly recommend Mountain Paws for your dogs stay. She also does grooming but we have a short hair dog.
We board our two dogs here (one German Shepherd and one American Bully) some places act nervous about my dogs given the breeds but they are treated just like any other dog here and they are willing to accommodate my needy bully who sometimes won’t eat unless his brother is around. Here they can share a run or be side by side able to see each other and interact with each other. She also bathes them before they go home which is really nice.
So we had good and bad experience while kneeling our pup here for a vacation. We will start with the good. The bathed her and gave her nail clipping for free due to her stay length. They painted her nails which we love. Gave her a cute bandana that she loves. The kennels are nice and you can bring all the toys and bed for your dog so they feel at home still. The cons are they can be hard to get ahold of at times. The only other issue we had was they didnt give her the proper amount of pills a day she was on. It could have been a miscommunication between us and them. Overall it's a good place to take your pup
Our first time boarding our St. Bernard and we Couldn't be happier! Mountain Paws are true dog lovers and it shows!
Our dogs had a great weekend with Tamara. They also look great since they were bathed and had their toenails cut. We will be back again soon!
Tamara and her staff are trustworthy, reliable and will love your pet as their own. My dogs love going to stay as we kennel with Mountain Paws regularly.
We just had our first stay here this past week and I couldn't have asked for better care for our pup! They go above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and very well taken care of. 100% recommend!🤩 Before, when we would pickup our dogs at other kennels, they appeared scared and was eager to leave. Here, my dog was happy and I could tell she was very satisfied with her stay :)
Highly recommended Mountain Laurel for your boarding needs. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the facility is spacious, clean and very well kept. They will let you do a “pre stay visit” to see the facility if you’re apprehensive leaving your “fur baby”, will give you updates/pictures during the stay and provide one on one enrichment/play if that is something your dog likes (something not all kennels do-aka just leave them in their kennel run with no interaction). The kennels themselves are climate controlled and even have in floor heating for cooler stays which gives you and your pup comfort and feature private exercise runs. We have had nothing but positive experiences when leaving our dog in their care!
I cannot say enough good things about MLK, I’ve been utilizing this facility for over 8 years. Having a trusted place that you can take your fur baby is literally priceless and I won’t take her anywhere else. My American Pitbull is sometimes challenging and they have always accommodated her sensitivities where other places would have thrown their hands up. I am forever grateful for you guys!
They will be our go-to from now on. Best kennel we have been to. Very pleasant people. If you need a kennel to trust with your dogs here they are!
great place to board your dogs. Super easy to book, affordable and convenient for anyone in the cheat lake area. highly recommend.
These folks are beyond awesome. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of for their stay. The price is reasonable and well worth it for the care and convenience. Veteran owned, pet lover owned as well.
Mountain Laurel is our go-to spot for our dog any time we need to leave town. I can always count on them to follow feeding and medication directions and give him all the love and care he needs while we are away! Each dog gets their own private run with heated floors to keep them cozy. I never have to worry about our pooch while we are on vacation and we’ve got Mountain Laurel Kennels to thank for that!
Jack is fantastic! This is the only kennel I have ever been happy with
Our dog is a little fearful of me people and places until he gets to know them. Jack and the staff at Mountain Laurel Kennels were great! And the facility is great as well. We just moved to the area, and are very thankful that we found this place. And so is our boy, Winston!
This is the second time I've used Mountain Laurel Kennels. I can honestly say this is the best place around to take care of your pup while you're away, Owner is very professional and kind. All staff working here seem to have a genuine care for the animals placed in their care. I highly recommend him for dogs of all sizes and age.
If you need to go on vacation whether for a weekend or two weeks this is the place to leave your pooch. We’ve been leaving our Honey their for a few years now and every time she comes back not just happy but better beheaved. Our dog is very territorial and nervous around strangers (Humans and animals) but Sean has worked with her each time she’s stayed their. Also, they are very affordable and have a wonderful facility!
I rarely leave reviews, but feel that it needs to be said with a situation like this one. Communication with this facility needs improvement. We booked our dogs a week long stay here over a month prior to our international trip. I made a point to reach out via text to verify pickup and drop off times before their stay. After bringing my three large dogs during the scheduled drop off time (4-6pm), the owner was a no-show. My husband and I called and texted numerous times in hopes of getting a response. Additionally, I not only messaged and called the Facebook account, but my husband emailed the associated email address. After waiting 40 minutes, we left. Thankfully I had a good relationship with another facility owner and they took all three of our large dogs at 7 pm on a Friday. Had it not been for the other facility, I would’ve had to cancel our vacation. This owner never did text or call me back. The only message that we received, after approximately 1.5 hours later, was to my husband and it said “after 5:30 I assumed you weren’t coming. I can come let you in if you want.” The owner never called, apologized, or attempted to make things right. I started our vacation in tears, worrying about my dogs being cared for. I don’t want anyone else whose dogs are family to go through this, and hope my review prevents that from happening. Regarding the owner’s disheartening response: It’s unfortunate that even though we dropped our dogs off DURING the scheduled hours (5:50) the owner could not make themselves available. We live an hour away, therefore made sure that time was taken in advance to confirm their stay again and again. It’s honestly very discouraging to see the recurring theme of a lack of accountability in the responses to other dissatisfied customers. Someone with this mindset and lack of respect and empathy for others should never be trusted to care for animals. I hope you learn to take accountability and appreciate your customers.
best place i’ve ever taken my dog. my dog has severe anxiety but she loves the people here. they take such good care of her. i don’t trust anyone else with my dog!
Impossible to communicate with. No one answers the phone or calls back in a timely manner. We arrived on Wednesday at 0940 and waited for 20 minutes for someone to arrive. CALLED LISTED Phone number multiple times. According the the signage posted in the building no one is present at the facility after 10am until later in the afternoon. The 2 small dogs outside in a doggy prison with no shade seemed healthy but sad. Since NO ONE showed up by 10am we opted for another dog boarding facility that happily took our dog. This other facility also noted other dogs coming to their facility because of communication issues with BRB.
if you need to leave your dogs at a trusted hotel, I 100% recommend booking a reservation for your dog at Bakers Ridge Pet hotel. I have been having my dog stay there when I need to leave morgantown for years and never had an issue. Sean the owner does an amazing job on taking care of all of the dogs. You can tell he loves dogs with his dedication and hard work. Again this is an amazing pet hotel and I wouldn't bring my dog anywhere else.
It seems like they genuinely love dogs and my dog, who has a lot of anxiety, is never afraid to go here! It’s also more affordable than some of the other kennels in town.
This place is great! I took my dog here this past weekend for a stay and he had a great time. The owners are so friendly and kind and took great care of my pet! I definitely recommend booking with them and as I will be in the future!
Irresponsible and unprofessional. Unreliable. It is such a shame. The original owner, Jeff, was a great guy and took excellent care of the animals. I had reservations for two months prior. We confirmed the reservations also. I called prior to boarding and could not get anyone. I went to facility and times are posted with a phone number. Voicemail was full and no one was there. I left a message the following Monday and stated I would like to make a reservation which was the only way I could get a call back. I got a call back from an extremely rude girl. I told her you almost cost me a thousand dollars with flight and hotel reservations. She was obnoxious and said their phones were down. Well, post a cell number on your building. There is no way I would trust these people to care for my animal. In response to your comment: You have never met me or my dog, although you have made multiple false statements. My dog has never bitten anyone. Bonnie gave me her phone number several years ago. Good luck in your business.
10 stars!!!! I am so thankful I found the Bakers Ridge Pet Hotel. My puppy, Judah loves daycare and the owner Sean. Judah comes home happy, content, and eager to go back. Sean is amazing with Judah. He seems very knowledgeable about dogs and enjoys his work. I would highly recommend.
The lady owner is very nice and goes above and beyond for our dog. There has been a couple times when we have extended our stay and Hulk has ran out of food and she used her own food to make sure he ate. Hulk gets excited everytime he notices we are making the turn down the road to head to the kennel. Then when he sees Nellie(Bonnie) he gets even more excited and can’t wait to get out of the car. I have never trusted my dog with just anyone but I knew the first time I went to look at the kennel and for her to meet Hulk he took to her instantly. I will never take my dog anywhere else.
Increased pricing and was not made aware it would be $15.00 extra a day to give medication. At pick up, they didn't have the rest of her medication and said she had taken it all - they returned her with her leash, a small zip loc bag of dog food and her blanket. I called to inquire about the rest of her stuff and also let them know there was a whole bottle of medication so it shouldn't be empty. They then found all of her stuff and said we could come back and pick it up. When returning, her bag still had three cans of wet food and treats that had been untouched. I sent her a can for every day she was there, so she didn't get wet food for three days. This is not the service I have had in the past. I sent an email to the owner thinking she wasn't aware of her staffing....no response. Oh - and I also tipped. Do not recommend.
Loved this place when I lived in WV. My 2 guys would always get so excited for daycare...they were even extra patient with my bulldog. Great place and great care.
Fantasic! Owner is great! Their groomer is amazing! I can't rave about them enough!
Dorothy did a wonderful job on Rose and Abbi's summer cut. They feel, look, and smell terrific. Thank you!!!!
My dogs love it here, they honestly didn't do well in other places, but they seem to like it here. They also are great for grooming.
Great experience here. It was about an hour and a half for my dog to get a much needed grooming. Staff were kind and considerate, felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them.
Worst experience ever. Tried to call about boarding our dog, couldn't get through. We stopped by and inquired about boarding. The worst service I have ever experienced. She was younger, and said that since my dog wasn't neutered they wouldn't take him. Policy doesn't state that. She was not professional at all, and by the look on her face and tone she spoke to me, please take your business elsewhere.
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to write a review. They treat my dog like he is theirs! I know I can ALWAYS count on them and I trust them to take as great care of my dog as if he is with me. I moved three hours away but still take him here. It is always clean as well!
Called a month ago to set up my pets for boarding and was asked to send in the vaccination paperwork. Sent it into the email address listed on the website. I was called TODAY at 1:30PM and told that the paperwork was never received. I was then given a DIFFERENT email than what was listed on the website, and then told that my dog did not have ONE vaccine that NO VET HAS EVER EVEN RECOMMENDED I GET. When I called and asked why this wasn't informed to me prior to THE DAY OF- I was told, "It's very busy, and we only have three people working here". I don't know who thinks that this is an intelligent way to run a business, but they should re-evaluate that. Fix your website, fix your process, and fix your expectations. There's no way that I can get my dog a vaccine within an hour and a half. That isn't realistic. Terrible business.
What a wonderful place! They are always clean and look nice. The staff are very helpful and always willing to discuss helpful tips and pointers for our dog. Their prices are a bit more, but you get what you pay for! They don't have any hidden fees like most places; my dogs gets excised regularly and he loves it there. Would recommend to anyone!!!!
