"edit 2/22 we had been boarding our beloved senior lab here for the last year. never longer than a week. we decided to leave her at YABF recently while we were out of the country for 2 weeks and weren’t contacted once throughout the trip to be notified that her behavior or eating habits changed. the only update received was that she was doing good a few days into the trip. when i picked up my dog on february 20, she was barely able to get up to greet me. her ribs and spine were completely visible and her abdomen extremely swollen. unprovoked, but seeing the look on my face, a staff member simply said, “we tried to get her to eat more.” charged me and i left. when we took her to the vet, she had lost 3lbs even with the swollen abdomen. sadly we had to put her down less than 24 hours later as we learned she had been suffering from internal bleeding due to a tumor that ruptured during her stay. this rendered her unable to walk or eat and was completely obvious to me upon returning to pick up the dog i left . yet all we got was “she seemed fine” “how could we have known” “sometimes we see older dogs act like that when they’ve been here a while”. i will not place blame with YABF for the passing of an aging dog, but it is unforgivable not to notify an owner of behavioral changes when that dog is in your care. i took additional care with each visit to leave specific medical contacts and instructions, knowing that anything can happen. i overlooked the unanswered emails and requests for updates. i truly believed she was taken care of and they were just too busy to get back to me. i took that risk with YABF in good faith that at least 1 person would keep a closer eye on an ailing animal and thought to call me or her vet if she stopped eating or showing any signs of distress. i had faith that in my absence, someone here would notice the weight loss, bones sticking out, limping that wasn’t there previously, or in our case, being almost entirely unable to get up. i regret that my beautiful animal spent the last couple weeks of her life here and in pain. that no one noticed or cared enough to see her suffering. we will forever be heartbroken and have to live with the consequences of that decision. senior dog care is not for the faint of heart, and as owners we should all do better to guarantee our pets just a fraction of the love they bestow on us during their short times. i stand by my previous statement that this facility is not responsible for the cycle of life, but i can’t condone any level of negligence to someone providing a service that advertises care. based on my devastating experience, i offer 2 stars and a strong recommendation to use extra precaution if leaving your animal here more than a few days, or however long they can get by on their own. you never know what will go unnoticed. i advise against bringing a senior animal here as well."

"Sherri and her facility are just simply AMAZING! She is a genuinely devoted, loving caring, good natured, angel on earth and is also a cancer survivor with an enormous zest for life! She's a gem, a true blessing and truly makes such an incredible impact and huge difference to our society with her enormous compassion she exudes to all animals and humans alike. Thank you Sherri for everything you do and who you are!"

"Your Animals Best Friend is a hidden gem among doggie daycares, and I'm thrilled to share my experience with this remarkable establishment. A perfect word is "enrichment" center! As a seasoned rescue enthusiast with a long history of seeking out the best care for my furry companions, I've encountered numerous doggie daycares across different states. However, none have come close to the exceptional care provided by Sherri and her dedicated team at Your Animals Best Friend. Don't be deterred by the unassuming industrial building; this daycare is a slice of doggie heaven. Sherri and her crew not only welcomed my troubled puppy and me with open arms but also took on the challenge of addressing his severe separation anxiety. They worked tirelessly to rehabilitate him, and the transformation was nothing short of miraculous. My once-anxious pup now eagerly anticipates his visits, earning him the nickname "Wiggles" due to his sheer excitement upon arrival. Your Animals Best Friend is like leaving your dog with an extended family that genuinely loves and cares for your furry friend. Their unique business model sets them apart, making it the best doggie daycare I've ever encountered. This well-kept secret deserves recognition for its unwavering commitment to our four-legged companions. They do it all - just ask!"

"We are going on two years of bringing our dog for daycare and occasional boarding at about Animal’s Best Friend and we wouldn’t take him anywhere else. He loves Sherri and her staff and is always eager to go. The staff has taken the time to get to know my reactive dog and has helped him socialize to the point where he has many doggie friends. I always feel our dog gets the best and most consistent care at Your Animal’s Best Friend. I highly recommend."

"YABF is a great place to take your dog if you’re looking for a cage-free daycare filled with loving staff and great prices. My dog goes here twice a week and enjoys making new friends. She also gets spoiled because of her big sad cow eyes. I know that she’ll be safe and happy while I’m working. When I first brought my dog here, I was worried because she’s shy. When I picked her up they called her a “social butterfly”. I was in shock. I didn’t expect her to love daycare so much. The open plan/couch and bed set up was incredibly helpful in getting her out of her shell. Sherri and Dan are both responsive if I have questions or concerns. They are happy to give me updates with photos during the afternoon."
