Your Animals Best Friend

I’m eternally grateful to Sherri and all her staff for all their hard work. I work in the veterinary field and I have a small rescue and I came across a beautiful dog named Bubba that needed help. Bubba is the loving companion of a homeless man that loves him very much. Bubba came into the hospital where I work after being hit by a car, his injuries [a fractured vertebrae in his lumbar spine] didn’t require surgery but he needed lots of rest and some rehabilitation exercises. Sherri contacted me after I put the word out that Bubba needed a safe place to stay ASAP. I had our rehabilitation team provide instructions on caring for Bubba and the team at Your Animals Best Friend took it from there. Bubba got 8 weeks of much needed rest and care that has given him an opportunity to recover and live life with his human again. Oh, did I mention that Sherri donated her services!!! She is an amazing woman, with a great heart and I am so grateful to the compassion, love, generosity and the excellent care extended to Bubba. She gave him an incredible gift. Please rest assured that when you choose this facility to love and care for your companion they are in capable adoring hands. Sherri and her team love what they do, and that’s important when having anyone caring for your pet.

We have now been threatened with litigation from the owner for advising what had happened. She has taken the «going above and beyond» comment out of context as we were misinformed of his condition while he was under her care — this was after we were told he was getting better and he was never even segregated (any reasonable boarding facility would have had him at a vet much sooner and advised us of his actual condition). He was getting worse — the eye specialist said one more day and he would have lost it altogether. We picked him up and he didn’t even have a cone/​neck hug or anything with a competely swollen shut eye and was crying non-​stop (she claims they had a neck hug on him the entire time but she wasn’t even there to see it was in the kitchen not on the dog)…It’s terrible how he ended up. And now we have to deal with litigation as there is no reason this should have occured, our poor baby was neglected and we’ll never leave him there again. $ 3,000 plus dollars in vet bills later and somehow we are responsible for it. No pre-​existing condition according to 3 vets including an eye specialist, he was fine when we dropped him off, but then he left with an eye graft and a large amount of pus in his ears. How that’s reasonable care for our dog is beyond us. Good luck here.

Everyone here is so nice, they take such good care of my dog when we leave out of town … they will even Skype with you! !! Highly recommend this place !!

My dogs have been taken care of for years by Dan and Sherri. They are such a blessing. When i worked long hours they were always available to come to my home and take my dogs for a walk and when going on long trips there BIG boarding facility is spectacular ! They really have a passion for animals and the love they give my dogs means so much ! It’s such a peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

This place is amazing! Saved my life. I work down the street, and before I would drive past and wonder and now my dog is going on his third day and loving it! I highly recommend this place, everyone is loving, caring and on top of what they do! I have a high energy 2 year old male bull terrier named Sid. I’m glad to come home with a calm dog with a huge smile. He’s learning how to socialize, be better on walks, and overall get some of the energy out. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my dog just after two days! Thanks you Sherri, don and the rest of your staff for being amazing and doing a great job at what you do! I love how I can take my dog on car rides on my way to work and have a calm dog when I get home! I appreciate all that you have done, I’m so glad we found you. Also have staff there ²⁴⁄₇ for animal boarding, at home services, dog grooming services, epic dog daycare!!!

Love is an understatement when it comes to Your Animal’s Best Friend’s Dog House! We take our little girl Blue here for daycare, as well as some extended vacation time. She loves coming here and sometimes it seems like she doesn’t even want to come home, because she has so much fun here :) I’m a total worry wart, so I have trouble letting my guard down when it comes to my pup. But at YABF, the staff and owner are truly the most authentic and caring people I have met. They are so sweet to all of the dogs, but they’re also very smart with animal socialization, and they seem to correct behavior when necessary. I always like to think my Blue is the perfect house guest, but I’m glad they’re willing to call her out, if she’s not ;) YABF is the best place to take your most precious BFF :)

We had Your Animals Best Friend recommended to us by my husband’s co-​worker. Dan walks Vala every other week for us (we need a break sometimes) and we have had her go to daycare as well. We have a puppy cam to monitor her throughout the day at home and every time she hears Dan’s voice at the front door she becomes overwhelmed with joy. She bounces and wags her butt and goes insane when she sees him. She doesn’t get nearly as excited when my husband or myself come home. We took her to be boarded for the first time last night and when we picked her up we were told she played A LOT and did really well. She came straight home and has been sleeping ever since. She definitely played a lot and we are able to get some stuff done around the house. We will be boarding her here more often and when we go on vacations she will get her own mini vacation at your animals best friend!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while (boarding and day care, not home services). I literally cannot say enough fabulous things about Sherri and the staff at YABF and the care they provide. I am a veterinarian and can attest to the care and cleanliness of the facility and Sherri’s commitment to providing a safe and healthy environment for all the pets they see. You have to be extremely committed to providing a safe place to do cage free boarding and trust me, I have seen some of the nightmares that result (dog fights, bites, life threatening infectious diseases). Sherri goes above and beyond to make sure her spot is #1 SAFE and #2 super fun for your pets. She is impeccable about requiring vaccine records and regular fecal tests.
I can also attest to the fact that Sherri is extremely ethical and cares so much about her clientele and boarders. It sounds unreal, but I have personally been asked to provide emergency care and perform procedures on patients from boarding services (NOT YABF) WITHOUT contacting the pet’s owner. The boarding facility was obvious trying to hide it from the owner and this was absolutely unthinkable to me. Sherri was appalled when i told her this and I know this would never, ever happen here — she would make every effort to contact you if something did go wrong, no matter how small.
We used YABF about once a week (I had a hectic schedule and could not take my pup with me on Thursdays and was commuting long distances) and then frequently for traveling or day trips that I couldn’t bring her on. The prices are very reasonable and worth every penny knowing that my dog was safe and well cared for.
The staff always greeted Mia with a huge smile and open arms — they clearly love their pups and gave Mia little pet names and I knew she was in great hands. As a senior pup, she has some back and joint problems and they would alert me right away when she seemed even a little out of sorts. They were very in tune with her walking and eating habits! I was so impressed with them knowing her so well even though we weren’t there every day.
They also partner with Scrub a Pup, a mobile pet grooming service, so you can get your pup groomed while you are away.
Mia misses YABF times a million! We are going to be hard pressed to find a place as wonderful in Ohio.

I highly recommend YABF. I have an older diabetic cat and her care requires on-​time feeding and insulin injections. I am a busy professional and my hours are such that I often can’t be home on time to administer medication. Dan is always on time and sends a photo so that I know my best fur friend is well taken care of. He also has a diabetic dog and so I am comfortable knowing that he is familiar with the condition. He goes above and beyond helping make sure I have all medication, syringes, litter and the like. They have flexible hours and have even been able to help me with last minute requests on several occasions.

Picked up my little angel when they did not expect me — -wow – nothing like they had showed me prior to me boarding her. Way too many wild dogs in one little room. My little girl was overwhelmed and uncared for. I do not recommend this place !! Watch out people !

Sherri, Dan and their great team are the only people I’d trust to be with my Mr. Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi has been going to daycare, boarding, and Dan comes to our house to walk Miyagi as well. Miyagi always had great time at the daycare, when I pick him up from the facility, most of the time, he is fed, walked and gone potty. You know they love and care about our furry children.
When Miyagi is home by him self, he has his thunder shirt on, when Dan comes over to walk Miyagi, he always takes his time to take off the shirt before their walk, then put it back on afterwards. Dan always send a picture to me so I can see my baby at work.
Recently, due to a change of work location, I took Mr. Miyagi to a different doggy daycare, a big name franchise, new in FV, oh, boy, what a mistake, I brought my baby to hell… I quickly contacted Sherri, hope Dan can come over to walk Mr. Miyagi twice a day, again, they rescued and saved my life. . Oh, did I mention they also have pick-​up and drop-​off service? I don’t think you can find this service anywhere else, and yes, we will need that in the near future.
We are very happy that we found Your Animals Best Friend a year ago, you have became Mr. Miyagi’s second home since. Thank you!

This place and more importantly, these people are amazing. It can be really tough to trust someone with your «fur child» but I am so grateful we found this place! We had to leave our girl for 10 nights. We could check her out on Facebook, get videos, photos, and emails. Our girl had so much fun that she has been passed out since we picked her up! So very thankful for Your Animal’s Best Friend Home!

Amazing place! Great energy! We boarded our 11 month Boxer/​Husky Mix Pistol for the weekend of our wedding. Loved that the place is kennel free and that she had playtime with other dogs. The best part is that Pistol came back so tired from playing and having fun lol. Trustworthy staff, clean environment, and amazing attention to detail with animal behavior. Love it!!!

If I could give them 100 stars I would! Sherri and her team of Angels absolutely saved my life! I am a single working girl who wanted to rescue a Pit mix and had no back up plan!
Three was no way I could crate my sweet Harley for 9 hours a day nor could I let her roam my house (she has a reputation of being a couch eater). Her separation anxiety didn’t make her transition to my home any easier! Then I found Sherri and Dan and they swooped in to the rescue at very little notice!
Yesterday, I picked my girl up from her first daycare with them and she was grinning from ear to ear! Everyone who works there is very knowledgeable about dogs and you can tell they love what they do-​Shout out to Jen!
I feel so blessed I found them, and for what they do the price is super reasonable-​WORTH EVERY PENNY!
They also work on dog socialization and are helping Harley with her «traffic» anxiety.
I can go to work and feel at ease that my dog is in the best possible place-​not in a crate for hours or ripping up my house but playing with other dogs and getting cuddles from the staff!

There needs to be 10+ stars to rate Your Animals Best Friend!
My mini schnauzer LOVES to go stay with Sherri and staff. I am sometimes gone for 10 days or more and come home to a happy, well loved and cared for dog. When I tell Razzi she is going to stay with Sherri, she starts wagging her tail and jumping up and down. To me there is no better testimony than that to the care and love she receives while I am gone.
I’ve been boarding Razzi at Your Animals Best Friend for over 5 years and wouldn’t think of going any where else.

I’ve boarded my pups here and I will never take them anywhere else. I love Sherri, Dan and the whole staff. You can tell they really love dogs and seriously enjoy their job. My dogs actually weren’t mad at me when I picked them up. I highly recommend if you’re looking to board your dogs or need doggy day care to take your pups here.

Our Boston Terrier is a rescue, and at 14 years old with cataracts, he has never been friendly with other dogs in packs. He was always shaking and nervous to be left anywhere, but not here. They not only took excellent care of him, they magically socialized him! This place is proof, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Love this place!

I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants piece of mind when it comes to leaving your pet for any length of time. They are truly the most caring animal sitters I have ever encountered, not to mention that the staff is there 24 hrs a day.
Every time I pick up my dog, he is happy. I think one of the reasons is that they do not cage your pet at all. They let you know how your pet did while you were gone and the good thing is if for some reason he does not get along with another pet, they keep them separated without sacrificing the ‘fun’ for the dogs. Sherri has even texted me pictures of my dog playing with the other dogs.
They really do care about all the animals they watch and give you excellent piece of mind. I wouldn’t bring my pet anywhere else!

What a treat! My two beagle puppies recently stayed here for a few days and I couldn’t be be happier with the service I received and my puppies received. Sherri, the owner, was very sweet and patient. Being that it was my first time leaving my pups, I called and emailed daily asking how they were behaving, and she replied promptly with pics!
When I picked up my puppies, they were having a ball playing with the other dogs. It was their first time socializing with other dogs and it was an obvious treat for them.
The staff was fantastic — especially Samantha. She gave me details on their stay and even provided me with some tips. I saw a quick glimpse of how the dogs are cared for and it was top notch. I know my dogs were spoiled more than I could have hoped for.
I love that this place is staffed 24 hours, reasonably priced and cage free (they can cage if you’d like). They’re incredibly accommodating and helpful. I have a few trips coming up and I can guarantee this is where I pups will be staying. I encourage everyone to use this doggy hotel for your «best friend».

I had been looking for a doggie day care and overnight care for some time, I hated the places that were just rolls of kennels with a little outdoor area or the places that were huge and take in way to many dogs, so when I read the reviews on Your Animals Best Friend I decided to call and plan a visit.
Once there Sherri met Bogey and we all took a tour, everything was clean and Sherri explain to me how things were set up for the animals, what I love most was the she took the time to kneel know and talk to Bogey and get to know her. I explain that Bogey isn’t the most social dog in the world but we would like to try a day care to see how she does. Will that was weeks ago, since that first meeting Bogey has been going to daycare at least once a week and she just had her first 4 day overnight stay.
Sherri and her staff take the time to make sure every dog is comfortable and has what they need. I know when I leave my baby there she is in good hands and will come home happy. Bogey is always excited to go and that means the world to me, the staff knows Bogey, her likes and dislikes when it comes to other animals so she is never put in a situation where she is uncomfortable and is unsafe for her or the other animals.
If you are looking for a place that really understands about how to treat animals then check out Your Animals Best friend, you will be happy and so will your dog.
