What Reviews Say

323 reviews analyzed

The facility receives high praise for its specialized amenities like the swimming pool and dock diving training, with many long-term customers appreciating the clean environment and daily photo updates. However, there is a significant volume of severe complaints regarding financial misconduct, including unauthorized charges and withheld refunds. Furthermore, the owner's response tone is frequently perceived as combative or dismissive when addressing serious allegations of pet neglect or injury.

Severe medical neglect/illness following stay

β€œMy 16 year old dog... is on his death bed. In addition to losing our dog bowls... my dog came back stained brown and yellow, smelly, with a horrible cough, malnourished, dehydrated.”

No-show for in-home pet sitting services

β€œThey never came to our house... We drove back to our starving pets (2 cats and 1 dog) and dog urine and poop all over the floor.”

Physical injuries during grooming/boarding

β€œCutting a dogs ear and calling it a 'nick' poor dog had to get stitches.”

Billing discrepancies and price hikes(8 mentions)

β€œI was given one price when I left and an increase in price when I returned.”

Poor communication/Missing report cards(12 mentions)

β€œWe repeatedly asked for photos or report cardsβ€”which were promised daily. We never got a report cardβ€”not once.”

Grooming unreliability/Cancellations(7 mentions)

β€œThey never called to tell us our grooming appointment was canceled. Found out when we we're about to drop off the dogs.”
