What Reviews Say

236 reviews analyzed

Our Family Pet Sitting is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 90%+ of reviews giving 5 stars. Dogs are described as excited to arrive and returning home happy and exhausted. The facility is praised for its large outdoor space, individualized care for anxious or special needs dogs, and excellent communication including daily photo updates. However, a small number of serious complaints exist including a dog not being fed for 4 days, electrical safety concerns in kennels, a dog escaping, and vet bills incurred after stays. The owners (Joe and Ashley Yanan) respond professionally to negative reviews. The vast majority of customers are repeat users who highly recommend the facility.

Worth noting

Dogs not fed for multiple days during boarding

MY DOGS WERE LEFT UNFED FOR 4 DAYS. I saw that there was 8 bags of the food they were supposed to be giving my dogs everyday, left in the box.

Electrical safety hazards in kennels

Management is a mess and they build kennels with circuit breaker panels in them and electrical outlets

Dog escaped during pickup due to improper collar handling

My smaller dog got out of collar and took off running luckily he was caught but that's just not the way you bring them outside

Dog returned with significant vet bills

My resultant vet bills are at $1000 and climbing. I had used them previously, but found an alternate boarding place due to the fact that the dog always smelled like a barn when she was returned to me

Dogs kept in small kennels majority of time

Your dog is kept in small kennels a vast majority of the time

Dog behavior changed negatively after stay

They broke my dog. For example, he used to only eat if one of us was in the room with him. Now he runs out when we walk in and he's eating.

Dog separated from group, felt like solitary confinement

It felt like he was in solitary confinement the entire time. They separated him away from the other group of dogs.

Inconsistent group play/socialization(3 mentions)

He was not mixed in to socialize with the large group of dogs.

Communication issues(3 mentions)

The start up process was not explained. My questions were never answered. I was not called as I was told I would be.

Front office rude/hard to deal with(2 mentions)

All the negative reviews about the front office being rude are absolutely correct.

Breed discrimination

They do not let Rhodesian Ridgebacks come together.
