What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Olde Towne Pet Resort is a popular, long-established facility with overwhelmingly positive reviews praising their caring staff, excellent grooming services (particularly Jason, Vicky, Mark, and Joseph), and clean, professional environment. The webcam feature and accommodating special-needs pets are major highlights. However, serious red flags exist including multiple reports of pets not being fed during stays, grooming injuries, and two tragic deaths linked to failure to monitor eating/communicate with owners. Recurring complaints include long wait times at check-in/out, expensive pricing with mandatory add-on services, and occasional communication gaps during boarding. While many customers have been loyal for 10+ years, the safety-related incidents are concerning and suggest inconsistent oversight despite otherwise excellent reviews.

Worth noting

Dog injury during grooming - bloody paw, cut nails too short

โ€œWhen we arrived to pick her up she was limping with a bloody paw with a cut. Further her nails were trimmed to far down. She is clearly in pain crying, licking, and panting.โ€

Dog not fed during boarding stay

โ€œMy dog was never fed during his 24-hour stay... they returned all four cans of food untouched.โ€

Pet death after boarding - severe intestinal infection from not eating

โ€œCalypso was picked up from OTPR and almost immediately admitted into ICU... The demise of her death was caused by Calypso not eating food during her 4-day stay, which lead to extreme stress and anxiety.โ€

Dog ear injury during grooming - owner not notified

โ€œThe most concerning part of our recent stay was discovering, once we got home, that our dog had a deep, bloody gash on his ear from grooming. We were never notified.โ€

Staff member bitten after ignoring owner instructions about dog behavior

โ€œDespite my explicit instructions not to do so, an employee had attempted to cut my dog's nails and had been nipped... he admitted that I would likely not have been told of the event at all had the employee not gone to a clinic.โ€

Long wait times at check-in/check-out(12 mentions)

โ€œYou will wait in the lobby for almost 30 minutes with over 10 other dogs.โ€

Expensive pricing / price increases(15 mentions)

โ€œA little pricey but you can ensure your fur babies are being well taken care of.โ€

Communication during boarding - lack of updates(8 mentions)

โ€œThe resort does not provide regular updates or report cards, which left me worrying about how he was doing.โ€

Mandatory bath policy for multi-night stays(4 mentions)

โ€œthey REQUIRE a three night stay (more money) and then REQUIRE a bath (more money)... this is blatant robbery.โ€

Staff not following care instructions(6 mentions)

โ€œI specifically told them that she needs to be on grass and for few days they took her out on cement.โ€

Quality decline after acquisition by larger group(2 mentions)

โ€œUnfortunately, since OTPR was acquired by a larger group, the quality has declined significantly.โ€
