The time we spent with adorable Julie was very memorable. She is a super sweet cat that was always ready to cuddle on your lap and receive attention. She had her playful moments chasing her toys and running around the house. Julie has a great personality and the cutest meows that we miss. Stephen and Christine were gracious hosts and very good with communication. They welcomed us with a delicious homecooked meal by Stephen when we arrived and went through everything we needed to know. Their home was very comfortable and in a nice location in St. John's, close to grocery stores and restaurants. There are also many great trails very close to the house so getting out and enjoying nature was easy. We would welcome the opportunity to look after Julie again in the future.
“Home away from home” is the best way to describe this sit 🏡. Sue left very clear and concise instructions and was always available through text or phone if any questions came up. This was a very straightforward sit though so the only time I was bugging her was to send updates about Quark and Peekaboo. Speaking of which, these 2 are absolute darlings. Quark is undoubtedly the family mascot and I deservedly so! She’s super affectionate and quite the companion for lazy mornings. Taking care of her was just as Sue described and the 30-min daily walks seemed to be more than enough to keep her happy. Peekaboo is no slouch in this area either though and most of the time I didn’t even notice he was there. The home itself is truly gorgeous with a genuine jaw dropping view of the front-range mountains. There’s a Whole Foods that’s in very easy walking distance and getting around by bike or RTD (public transport) is very doable if you don’t have a car. I’d very sincerely love to do this sit again and 10/10 recommend it to anyone else!
Adele and Bruce were very welcoming and their house was fantastic to stay in and close to town. They left us a few goodies of Bendigo produce which was very thoughtful. Ziggy and Hamish were just so gorgeous, very affectionate once they got to know you and ziggy loved playing fetch, kept us entertained for hours. Thanks again for letting us sit
From the first moment I walked in I felt at home. Diane and Mike are super super friendly and made me feel at home. This was my first experience with trusted housesitters and it couldn’t be better! There was plenty enough food and drinks in the fridge and Diane showed me all the shops and things to do that are nearby. I enjoyed the lovely garden and piano! The cats were super easy and not a pain at all. They do their own thing but also like some attention here and there. Perfect sit! And love to come back again :)
We took care of Finley and Dylan for almost 1 week. They are very docile and friendly dogs and quickly got used to us. They love being cuddled and following you everywhere and you will never feel alone if you are with them. Charlot was a great host, helped us with lots of information and was always available on her cell phone for any information about her house or her pets. The house is in a very quiet village, close to the supermarket and in 15 minutes by car you will be in the city center. I highly recommend this sit and would love to come back again!
Lovely pet sit near the marina district. Rose is a gracious host and a great communicator and miso is darling. The location is fantastic!

I brought my 1 year old toddler yorkie to here to be groomed. Both Lauren and Elizabeth were so helpful when it came to checking her in and getting us a super great deal. We will definitely be back again soon. Thanks for shampooing my baby butterscotch biscuit. You gals are awesome. So is the guy in the back that groomed her.
So Far Sooooo goooood! My dog lives it. Everyone is incredibly nice and the doggy day care wears my Pooch out nicely. She comes home and is exercised and happy
I have been taking my dogs here for 10 years! Unfortunately the prices keep changing. My dogs always shared a room because they are more comfortable together. They would stay in 1 executive suite! As of late they started charging me for 2 executive suites every time they stay over! I understand there needs to be a charge for the 2nd dog, I had asked if I could be charged for the executive suite that they stay in and then charged for a less expensive suite since they don’t even use a 2nd room at all! For some reason they will not allow it.. I need to be charged for two $65 rooms instead of $65 and $40. It makes no sense to me! Also on the website it says that the overnight boarding includes a day of daycare. Well that is not exactly true! We dropped off my dogs at 6:30 pm Friday and picked up Saturday at 6:30 which would be an overnight and a daycare. The daycare is only included the day they get there. So for my 2 dogs to stay overnight and do one day of daycare was $190! That’s just too much! After 10 years I’m going to have to find a new more affordable place to take my dogs!
Friendly service that takes very good care of the dog. Ernest comes home happily tired at the end of the day; the team at Oakview is always happy to see him the next morning!
Oakview Pet Resort is amazing. Everyone there is so kind and willing to answer any questions, they were happy to give me a tour of the facility as well. I took my dog to doggy daycare somewhere else and it smelled SO BAD I would have to give my dog a bath after every visit and the people were so rude. I'm so glad I found a place that's friendly and my dog doesnt reek when I pick him up.
These guys provide outstanding customer service. I feel a sense of relief knowing my dog is in good hands during my workday.
We love this place. They treat our Sully like their own dog. He has so much fun during the day at day care, and has stayed overnight a few times. Super friendly staff. The rates are super reasonable as well. It's best to get the punch card because it saves you $20 over time. Also, Wednesday and Thursday are $25 for the whole day!
What a wonderful, well maintained, CLEAN and happy place to bring your pet! I have tried other places for doggy daycare and was never really impressed, but that all changed the first time I used Oakview. The girls that work the front desk honestly seem to enjoy working there, they always greet my dog like he's THEIR pet, and once they take his leash, he never even looks back at me- a sign that he is happy being there. I don't worry all day at work about how he's being treated, and I like that they have some private rooms and will put a dog in there when he seems like he needs a little "down time". This is by far the cleanest, most well-run daycare I've seen, and my dog and I both loves the days that he gets to go there!
Dog owners please beware!!! This kennel is responsible for multiple pet injuries with a complete lack of communication and disregard for pet owners. My parents brought their yorkies here for a short weekend stay a few weeks ago. They were told that big and small dogs would be separated and that the pets would be closely monitored. At the end of the weekend, both dogs had multiple deep puncture wounds that required multiple staples. My parents were not notified. No voicemails or missed calls. And it happened on the first day before their flight left so they could have changed plans to care for the pups. Looking at other negative reviews in hindsight (which seem to be hidden unless one searched for them) I was appalled to find that this is a PATTERN for this organization. Multiple dogs have been injured without any remorse from management or communication about what actually happened! There is even a person on Yelp who describes having a pet die due to injuries sustained at this kennel. I can only speak for myself and our family pups are obviously traumatized as are my parents by the experience. And judging by the location of the bites it could have been much much worse. Please be aware before trusting your pets with this business.
Great place with great friendly staff. So happy they are following social distancing guidelines. We love taking our dog here. Very affordable for daycare as well as grooming services.
