Pet care experience
I am a person who love's dog . I grew up in a family that had a lot of dogs and I was raised around them as my Father was an excellent dog breeder back then when I was a child. I have a big house with a big back yard that has a large amount of space for dogs to play. My house is also located a few blocks away from several parks. A typical day .when is a sunny day I usually go to the dog park or to the beach as it is a very good place for the dogs to have fun and release all of that energy in them. I will take of your dog like I take care of my dog.
Reviews
I made arrangements for my parents to drop off our two dogs during our long weekend out of town. Like other previous reviews stated, this place feels like a kennel where multiple dogs are kept in a small space together. Here's our experience: We provided a time for both pick-up and drop-off and experienced delays on both occasions. We didn't get to met the supposed caregiver and was greeted by someone at the house, who was very confused or overwhelmed, and had to contact her to get instructions. We ended up waiting in excess of 20 minutes outside. From what we could peek into the house, it was a mess and no dog in sight. We were afraid that they've been locked up in a small room... When the dogs finally came running out, they had to immediately do their business at the front of the house, so I'm not quite sure if they even let them out. This feels contrary to the description of a typical day when the dogs get to go to the park or beach. They smelled like they hadn't shower for months, when we actually shower them on a weekly basis. My parents couldn't stand the smell of the dogs even when they were taking them home on a 10 minute drive -- they had to be immediately showered upon getting home. We definitely will not let our dogs stay here again.
I'm going to start with the positives. We think Ashes had a good time. Elizangela has a large backyard which she got to play in at least some of the time if not spent most of the time there. She also was with a large amount of other dogs (which in our case is a good thing! She loves to play with other dogs). She also came home clean, which we greatly appreciated! On to the not so great things. Elizangela was not very responsive in chat. In order to get photos of our dog or get info on how she was doing we had to pester her. The only time she reached out to us was to ask if we wanted our dog groomed for $50 since she was dirty (she may haven been outdoors the whole time we're not sure)....We declined (we could wash her ourselves). Also based off the photos (and our experience during pick up), this Rover feels more like a kennel and less like a home away from home (which is what we typically are use to with our past Rovers, so this was a surprise). We never met the sitter in person either. She was out during the drop off and the pick up. Her son was very polite, but he seemed confused and little overwhelmed during both pick up and drop off. During pick up, he had to chase 2 dogs that bolted out the door. He did recover them though, and they may have been their dogs, I'm not sure. I discovered our dog was in a small laundry type room with 4-5 other dogs. She had apparently worn her harness long enough to chew threw it (which wasn't mentioned to me till i tried to put it on and parts of it were missing). She doesn't typically do that, so that was a surprise. We left her bed there also, and when I was given it back it was completely soiled. It smelled like 6 other dogs used it as a bathroom. I asked what happened, but all I got was a shrug. I tried washing it 3 times, and we had to throw it away (and the large dog beds aren't cheap). I think if you don't mind a kennel like atmosphere for your dog this might work, but that's not what we were looking for. We were pretty disappointed overall, and won't be using Elizangela again.
My dogs 2-night stay with Elizangela was very good and my dog,Chica, came home in very good condition. Elizangela kept me informed with text messages and pictures for the 2-day/night stay. I will use Elizangela's services again in the future and will recommend her services with flying colors! Thank you, Elizangela for you excellent care and services for Chica!
Have used Elizangela a couple of times and will use her again! Our dogs get lots of exercise in her yard and come back happy and tired.
