Camp TLC Pet Resort

"We had a great experience using TLC. My dog stayed for a week and really enjoyed getting to be with the other dogs. Gail is great to deal with and clearly loves dogs. She even made my dog a Christmas stocking!"

"Gail took our dog for 2 weeks over Christmas. We were a little concerned that she's getting old and being in a pack of dogs would be stressful but from the reports and the contented doggy we got back, everything clearly went well. Gail clearly loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make them comfortable - though dressing them up in christmas sweaters might have been a tad too far ;-) Highly recommend and will absolutely use the service again."

"This place is a terrible boarding facility. I considered boarding my dog here so I called and spoke to Gail. I checked out the website and watched the video online. Gail seemed very nice on the phone and offered for me to come and visit before I committed to boarding. Fortunately, I took her up on a visit. The facility is Gail's house and looks just like the video with one big difference, it is FILTHY. When I first got there, Gail took me out to the back where the dogs are kept. We went past the pool which looked like the cover had never been taken off. There were 10 or 12 dogs all barking behind a gate. Gail got a squirt bottle full of water and started spraying them all in the face to make them stop barking. It didn't work. This was the first sign that this was not a good place to board my dog. She took me to the inside area where the dogs sleep. There were lots of wooden dog beds like in the video, except they have all been chewed apart and the pillows and blankets are gone. There was one dog chewing pieces of wood off one of the frames. Gail squirted it in the face and the dog went back to chewing off wood pieces. There were torn up pieces of bedding all over the floor and yard. The windows were disgusting and covered in a dirty film. The floor was filthy. She took me outside to the backyard area where the dogs get to run around. It was pretty small. The energy and tension was very high. It was obvious that most of those dogs had not been exercised well enough. Many were trying to dominate one another, and two got into a fight and were biting each others faces. Gail squirted them in the face and pulled one away. There was a dog running around with a lease on and Gail told me that the dog didn't listen well so she kept the leash on it to grab it in case she needed to. She said that it helped build trust with the dog if the dog got stuck. The dog would have to ask her for help. Gail seemed to forget that a dog that is choking to death can't ask for help. Gail then showed me the "kitchen" where the dog food is prepared. It was filthy. She showed me the grooming room which was also filthy. This was also where she had put the dog that had gotten into the fight but it had jumped out the window into the front area. She said it was ok because he wouldn't run away. What if that had been my dog? It is my impression that the dogs Gail cares for are mostly hers and her neighbors, friends, or few regular clients because they are the same dogs as in the video. It is my impression they are unsupervised most of the time. They have an unstable pack mentality and are not exercised enough. They are not in a safe environment and could potentially eat wood or other harmful things or escape. If you board your dog here, Gail will squirt it in the face if it barks or misbehaves instead of addressing the problem appropriately. The price she asked is the same price as at a legitimate boarding facility that offers constant supervision and safe play time. I will never board my dog here and I don't recommend anyone does."

"I've known Gail for 18 years. She is super with the animals. Her vans are really nice and comfy for the pets. She helped me keep my disabled dog clean for years, and now is grooming my cat! The cat was really good. That is a testament to Gails skill."

"I usually take my elderly dog to a shop, but I got tired of him being in a cage all day. A friend reccomended TLC to me and I LOVED their service AND I LOVED Buff. He was very patient with my dog, and after the grooming Charlie looked better and I could tell felt better too! We will never put Charlie in a cage again!"
