Pet Sitting near Indian Trail

“Deania is very professional and cares for everyone's pet with all her heart. Mt pets, including dogs and our cockatoo love to visit her.“

“Our dogs are always so happy to go to Big Red's for a day of play. Staff is great and really care for the dogs.“

“My two dogs (a rescued pitbull and a pit mix) usually see Dr. Wood or Dr. Williams and have always had positive experiences.)That’s why I was surprised and disappointed with a recent visit with Dr. Elizabeth Brown for my foster dog, Armani, a 1-year-old pitbull rescue. Armani is very sweet, though he can be excitable and nervous during exams. While Dr. Brown did examine him, I felt the interaction could have been more welcoming and supportive. She did not greet or introduce herself at the start, and her demeanor seemed uncomfortable with Armani’s energy. During the exam, when he was moving around, she audibly expressed frustration by saying “ugh, ugh” and even commented that her back would hurt if she had to keep trying, before sitting on the bench usually meant for clients. These kinds of remarks made the situation feel more stressful rather than calming. She also kept mentioning that Armani “needs a lot of work” and suggested that a certain treatment option might make him “more aggressive.” I have to note he showed zero aggression. And he’s gone a long way since I got him at the shelter, which I made sure to mention. When I asked if she meant “edgy” or “nervous,” not “aggressive” she quickly backtracked, but by then the tone of the visit felt discouraging and gave me the impression of an unfair bias against his breed. As a foster parent, I work hard to help Armani feel safe and cared for, and I hope that all veterinarians he sees can support that effort with patience and compassion. Small changes in communication, such as a warm greeting, clearer explanations, and more positive reinforcement, would go a long way in building trust with both pets and owners, especially with breeds that often face stigma. I share this feedback not to criticize, but in the hope it can be helpful. I know Piper Glen has wonderful staff (including Sienna who was very sweet and kind to Armani) and I want Armani (and other pets like him) to receive the same respectful, supportive care I’ve always experienced here with my other dogs.“

“My pup loves Chris! They are the kindest most caring people! My pup always has the sweetest scent and the cuts are the best!! I know my pup is well taken care of too. Love these people!“

“Had a great experience with my aussiedoodle puppy’s first groom. They did a great job and didn’t break the bank. Staff was helpful! Will be going back for future grooms“

“Ms. Lee does great work! I’ve got 2 dogs who always look adorable when finished. She really has a talent and treats my babies so well.“

“Our Yellow Lab is in training with Terry and is progressing amazingly well!! She's happy, bright, and moving through her training checkpoints with a solid foundation to build on. Oakridge Kennels is a beautiful property, well-maintained, and in a quiet corner of Monroe. This is the second dog that we've sent to Oakridge for gun retriever training and we couldn't be happier with the results!!“
