Tracey and Patrick are incredibly kind and hospitable pet parents. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Comox at their peaceful home with their sweet kitties, Rasmus and Priya. We were provided with a thorough and informative guide with everything we needed to know about the sit, from animal care to local must do's. The sit was as described on the listing and Tracey was great at communicating leading up to our stay and during. Tracey and Patrick met us the evening before our sit. They introduced us to their fur babies and took us on a walk through the house to ensure we knew where everything was. They also walked us down to a local waterside restaurant to share a meal where we could get to know each other better. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and were grateful for their hospitality before they set off on their long weekend adventure. The sit itself was wonderful. Rasmus is a fun and affectionate cat full of character and energy. Priya we called Princess Priya because she is extremely beautiful and regal looking, though affectionate on her own terms. We did get a few chin scratches in and some deep purrs though, which was a win for us. The highlight of our sit was taking the cats for their daily walk and checking out the local bike trail that Tracey had kindly mapped out for us. The cats absolutely adore and look forward to their daily walk. They are so well behaved, hopping up on the table by the front door (where they get harnessed) meowing in delight. They are very easy to put harnesses on as they have done so since they were little. We would recommend this sit and would happily be back again.
Donna’s home is so nice & comfortable. The best part are Sheba & Delilah. Sheba is a bit shy but Delilah loved to sit with me while i was working and wanted her cuddles in the evening. They are so cute. Thank you for everything, Donna! :)
Clare and Dave were very welcoming, kind, communicative and friendly. Their home was beautiful, such a peaceful place, with a delightful mature cottage garden. The neighbours and locals were friendly and helpful too, and I met lots of lovely people on my walks with Letty and Bobbi. Bobbi and Letty were the most adorable pair to spend ten days with. They are very affectionate and funny, and so good on their walks. Really good recall and they stay close at all times. They love all their familiar walks and while Letty likes lots of rest stops, Bobbi could keep going indefinitely! Bobbi likes to keep busy, but in the evenings she loves to snuggle on the sofa while you watch a film. The two take turns in leaning on you for strokes. Beach days were hilarious fun. Bobbi goes absolutely frantic when she realises what we are driving towards and barks excitedly the whole way. It is cuter than a child with a bucket and spade! Their absolutely joy at beach walking made me appreciate it even more. Clare and Dave kindly let me use their car for transporting the dogs and it drove us very nicely to the beach. The area is absolutely gorgeous. Such beautiful rolling hills and two wide rivers meeting nearby, visible from the hills as you walk the dogs. A stunning spot. Locally, The Stables is a lovely cafe bar, with friendly staff and customers in a sweet converted stables alongside other interesting little shops. It is on the Port Elliot estate where the dogs will take you for a walk. Waitrose is a ten-fifteen minute drive away, along with a Lidls. I didn't want to leave this sit! I felt very relaxed and comfortable and had the very best company in delightful Letty and Bobbi. I felt I'd made good friends in those two little poppets. Thank you Clare and Dave. It was genuinely great to meet you and a real pleasure being Letty and Bobbi's au pair for the week. Always happy to come and sit for you in the future.
I went far away from home to do this sit and I can say that it was worth it. Kurtis & Brianna were very welcoming and attentionate to make my stay enjoyable and confortable. Kurtis & Brianna are very kind, friendly and easy going, the house was very well organized and equippedhaving a suite on the main floor made it practical to care and keep an eye on the dogs. They were very generous with food since there is no big groceries or shopping around, so the car is a must! Thanks for letting me use your car it was a saver for sure! Rex the puppy is a bunch of energy and is still on the learning process, he tested my patience a couple of time but after two weeks he got better at walking at the right pace and waiting is turn. He really wants the attention and lots of cuddles, so cute! Finnick the older one is just easy going and loveable like a big teddy bear. You need to be ready to clean their paws and brush them often since they like to play in the creek everyday, they get wet and dirty but it is so much fun to throw wood stick in the water for them to grab. That was the best for me everyday. Overall it was a great experience living in nature with mountains, lakes and in the countryside with farms, horses, trails. Perfect for outdoorsy people who enjoy a quiet life!
It was a pleasure to stay with Sam and Bety in Bangokok! They are very easy to take care, they always stay around you, looking from the stairs what you are doing or hidden under the bed. It’s unbelievable but they don’t wake up you, never! They never jump at the table or at the kitchen bench! When the evening arrives Sam asks to brush him, it’s really nice to see him enjoying that moment! The house is roomy and confortable, they just mooved to this new apartament. The view from the guest bedroom is amazing! The location is excellent, near the metro station and a beautiful park. 7 eleven is just near by. We felt very confortable sitting to David and Sarah! Thank you for this opportunity and we highly reccomended this THS.
The housesit was great. They left comprehensive instrructios for Jethro and taking care of their beautiful home. Thanks! :)

Leslie walked and trained our dog Kona for several months. Kona is a reactive dog and could not handle being approached by other dogs, especially off leash encounters. Leslie worked with him on and off trails. While Kona still needs to maintain distance, Kona can enjoy hiking trails with other dogs and does not see every dog he approaches as a threat! I am so thankful to have my hiking buddy back and enjoy taking him out so much more without the fear that something might happen. Leslie has such a good understanding of dog behavior and communication, but more importantly can get to the bottom of canine problem-behaviors and can find solutions! I am grateful for his willingness to work with Kona and teach us new ways to approach his fearful behaviors. Highly recommend!
We love the team at Dog 'N Butterfly! Our dog Wizard was getting anti social during lock down and we had to stop taking him to dog parks because we were nervous with his behavior, but within a week Mark and Veronica had Wizard back to his old self. He was excited to see dogs and all his old triggers just seemed to magically disappear! They really listened to our concerns regarding his behavior, asked just the right amount of questions to ensure good care, so I knew both our dog, and others dogs around him, would be safe. Wizard has been going every weekday for the past 3 months and loves it. They clearly treat him with great care. We love the amazing quality and amount of photos we receive from his walks, and he needs the whole weekend to recover from how much exercise he gets, which makes us happy lazy humans. If you have a dog who needs a good time, with reliable amazing people our family cannot recommend Dog 'N Butterfly enough.
Veronica and Mark are the best. They have trained, walked, and boarded our two big dogs. They are just the best and our girls just love them. The are reliable and caring. We especially love the texts and photos they send when they have the girls, it allows us to enjoy our time away. Wiley and Izzy would give them a 5+.
Consider yourself lucky if you are able to benefit from these amazing people and service for your pup. Our almost 8 month old golden retriever Marshall is so excited to go to "school" he just runs to their car when they pick him up. There is no service like this around, they truly love and care for your dog. The socialization, play, and exercise they get is awesome...I would feel better to have them host our pup over other family members, as they take such amazing care for our puppy.
Trainer Leslie is THE best instructor that me and my dog, Momo, had. Insightful and effective, Leslie works and interacts with the dog and owner with respect and compassion. His client-specific approaches tailored to every needs across different breeds and personalities among various dogs. My dog Momo is a Shiba Inu with a strong headed personality, with the detailed instructions and patience practices with leslie, he was able to respond to my recall commands and learnt how to properly interact with other dogs. Another valuable lesson learnt from Leslie is to work on my (owner’s) mentality skill sets that further solidify the training progress of Momo and I. Because of all the hard works from all three of us (Momo, leslie and I), Momo and I have an ever stronger relationship and better communication for each other’s needs. I whole heartedly endorse Leslie for your training needs no matter you are a new puppy parent or an experienced dog parent.
Yair is a bona fide dog whisperer. I met him several years ago at my community dog park, and he’s always been so generous with his time and knowledge. He’s famous here! I’ve watched him communicate with various dogs and the immediacy of the results is remarkable. Yair speaks fluent canine!! He has helped me understand my dogs’ behaviors over the years, he’s empathized with the struggles and even the great loss of losing my fur babies. He’s a true friend to all, and most especially to our furballs. He’s a miracle worker and worth every moment!!
Leslie is an amazing dog handler! My dog, as a rescue, was afraid and then aggressive with other dogs. With work, Leslie helped him ease his fears and become much more sociable. Leslie has a great sense about dogs and even helped identify a cracked, infected tooth in my dog. I can’t say enough good things about Leslie, his care, and training of my dog!
Leslie is super good with dogs. He trains according to personality of each dog. plus he trains the owners. We have only done two sessions so far but noticeably difference in our dogs already. Leslie is really committed and reliable.
I could not recommend Yair enough. Thoughtful, compassionate, and patient with my dog as well as myself. I have a reactive fur baby, and was at a loss. Yair helped me find tools and hope that I can help my puppy have the happy life he deserves. Also reasonably priced and willing to work with your schedule!
Yair is a true dog whisperer. I’ve never met someone who had such an immediate connection with an animal. My dog just looked at him and Immediately listened to everything he said. He is a gentle soul, and he could communicate with her slight movements of his hands and by his calm demeanor. It was absolutely amazing.l to watch. And he was effective at training me to work with her, She made so much progress with him. I highly recommend him.
Doggy's Big Day has been hiking my dogs for about 5 years now and they have been integral in their well being. They come and pick them up and drop them off so I never have to worry about coordination. All of their hikers are great and lovely with my Jolene and Lucy. This is made apparent by how absolutely thrilled they are to see every single one of them! The dogs come back tired and ready for a nice nap. I work from home so it gives me peace of mind knowing they are exercised and I keep continue to work. One other major bonus is that my dogs have always been very socialized with Linda's crew. They continually meet new dogs and practice good manners and boundaries. They do have a nice user-friendly app that allows me to inform the team of any changes to the regular schedule. They send photos after each hike which always shows how much FUN they are having! I am also very excited about their new offering - meet ups. It will be fun to meet the parents of the other dogs we see on their hiking photos. Thanks Linda, Rebecca, and team for being such an important aspect of my dogs life!
I've been a devoted customer of Doggy’s Big Day for 10+ years, and they have consistently delivered exceptional care for all of my dogs. This dog walking company is more than just a service provider; they've become an integral part of my pets' extended family. Their reliability is unmatched. Regardless of the weather or my ever-changing schedule, their team has always been there to ensure my dog(s) get the exercise and attention they need. It's this unwavering commitment that has kept me coming back year after year. What truly sets Linda and her team apart is the genuine love and care they exhibit towards every furry friend. Each dog is treated with individualized attention, and the walkers take the time to understand their unique personalities and preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a dog walking company that goes above and beyond in ensuring the well-being of your furry companions. Here's to many more years of exceptional service! 🐾✨
We are SO happy with both the training given to our Golden doodle as a new puppy and more recently, the dogsitting provided by Doggy's Big Day. We tried several alternative sitters or kennels but Kora has superceded all our expectations in providing love, safety and exercise for our now 5 year old fur-child. We KNOW our doggy is happy while we're away and that means WE'RE HAPPY. I give Doggy's Big Day 5 STARS !
I have been having Doggys Big Day take my dogs for weekly hikes since 2017. Linda has been so great with my dogs King and Jezebel. I have been out with my dogs and happen to run into Linda, my dogs will not leave her side. I have peace of mind that they are safe and carefully watched over and they have a fantastic time
I LOVE Doggies Big Day and so does my Buddy(the dog). Buddy is always patiently waiting to go on hike days and comes home exhausted. Linda and her team are a perfect fit for Buddy and us. We recommend them time and time again
We used Doggy's Big Day for the first time this past week and I am so impressed!! They were so easy to sign up with and instruct on what we need while we were out of town. They are true professionals, and I never once felt nervous or wondered if my dog was in safe hands. Thank you, Linda & team!
Doggy's Big Day is SLC's best kept secret. My dog loves hiking with this group and he is always tired out when he comes home. I used this service when I lived in SLC and now when traveling to SLC. The Hike Leaders come to my hotel and pick up my pup. take him out for a 1.5-2.0 hour hike/play session and then bring him back all for a very reasonable price. They go rain, snow or shine. They are very careful with the dogs and make sure all dogs are safe at all times. I cant wait to return to SLC and use this great service again!
This service is so perfect! Linda and her team make my puppies day. They are timely and have amazing communication. They also send photos after each outing that make me smile!
I've used Doggy's Big Day a few times when I've been out of town to check in while the friend/relative staying with my pups is at work or to stay at my house overnight. They do an exceptional dog of taking care of my special needs dogs, including one with a spinal injury who wears diapers. Most recently, we had Dot come and hang with them for an hour each day while we were out of town for a week. Dot is amazing! She was very attentive to our instructions and looked out for our house and dogs. I loved her visit updates and photos each day. I’d absolutely recommend Dot and Doggy's Big Day!
Doggy's Big Day has been part of our life for years! We love them. Linda always took great care of our little poodle and when our grandpup came to live with us, Doggy's Big Day has taken her hiking twice weekly. She is a beagle border mix with high energy and a desire to herd. She loves hiking and playing with all her friends. Linda has been great to accommodate our granddog. She was a rescue and had so many fears. Linda and her team have been patient and loving and our granddog is now confident and is even going in the water! Water was one of her biggest fears. Linda has worked with her so much. Thank you to Doggy's Big Day for all you do for us!
6/5 stars holy cow this place was great. We took our two dogs, a golden retriever and a labradoodle. The checkin was smooth and the two ladies working were really nice. The paperwork was minimal and the rules were easy to follow. The BEST part— during orientation they went into the pool with our kiddos and swam with them! They were SO great at getting our shy labradoodle to swim. By the end of orientation they were ready to go back in the pool. Love this place and how it is an affordable treat for my dogs to come here. Had a really good time and the staff were perfect. There is a ramp up to the pool if you are disabled. It’s a little steep but it has grippy carpet on it so you could likely get a wheelchair up which is great. Love this place!
Barley’s was my dog’s happy place. He loved the swimming pool and was totally spoiled by staff every time he came in. The facility is made for dogs of all ages. Being able to swim there as an elder dog made his golden years pure magic. The staff genuinely love dogs and will make efforts to know and love yours. Haley, Carrie, Becca, Angela and the entire staff will forever have our gratitude for how they treated our dog. Thank you all for everything!
If my dog had to choose a life that either had steak dinners, box of infinite bully sticks, daily sessions of uninterrupted attention full of praise and scritches - or - swimming at Barley’s… she would choose Barley’s every time. I’ve truly never seen her happier than when she’s here! The pool is amazing and well maintained. They have a ton of toys too. And both going privately or with other dogs is a blast. All the other owners have been so pleasant and it’s just a wonderful experience. What makes it really special is their team. They are absolute dog lovers and passionate about their work. My dog has some peculiar behavior that they are so accommodating. They are so so welcoming & kind. DogMode has a really nice pool, but it’s $35 each session. Barley’s has versatile options where you can save money or have privacy. And most importantly they have an unlimited monthly pass, so you can save sooo much money if you’re a frequent swimmer. I can’t recommend this place enough!!
Our dog is very nervous in new situations but the staff was amazing at helping him be comfortable. It's great there is a reserved swimming option for dogs who may not want to be near other dogs as well. We're looking forward to bringing him swimming again, and hopefully have him go regularly!
We brought our dog here to introduce him to the water and see if we could have a fun summer exercise... Long story short, we pretty much have to wrestle him out the door when it's time to go! He loves it and everyone he interacts with
I cannot recommend Barley’s enough! Both their daycare service and swim experiences are exceptional. I think what makes Barley’s stand out is their staff - they are responsive, professional, and (most importantly) dog lovers. I know that when I drop off my dog she is very well taken care of. Barley’s very quickly became my dog’s favorite place!
This place is so amazing. Our dogs live for the pool and have the best time every time. The owners are wonderful people and the prices are affordable. Plus it’s heated and indoors so it’s the perfect place to take your pups during the winter! Highly highly recommend. Best kept pet secret in SLC!
The staff and facilities are top notch. They helped both of my dogs become comfortable with swimming, which I was unable to do myself. Every week my dogs get excited to go to daycare, and I love the pictures I receive, stories I get when I pick them up, and even advice and training tips the staff share. Bring your pups here - they will love it!
The best place for your fur baby can swim. The facility was very clean and nicely maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful! Barley’s facility isn’t just a dog pool and daycare. It’s a wonderful, safe and friendly place to let our little Yorkie feel like a kid for a little while. I cannot recommend Barley’s enough. Can’t wait to come back again.
So much fun! It was our pups first time coming and they treated him awesome. We were grateful to be the only ones during his orientation but he did great seeing other dogs playing too as they drifted in. You do have to be careful around the edges so your pup doesn't fall in but they have complementary life jackets and the ramp to help keep them safe. It is a small ramp and it's hard to keep your dog from being a ramp hog but with time and exposure I'm sure it helps. The pool is long enough for long distance tosses so your pup gets a good workout. They have a great bathing/rinse station with an awesome blow dryer. My only issue was the potty areas. My dog refuses to potty on fake turf and the "grass patches" are a bunch of weeds with lots of dirt, so if your pup is like mine, you'll have to rinse them off quite a bit as the facility requires potty breaks every 15 mins to keep the pool clean.
I’ve taken my dog Olive here pretty regularly and she loves it! I have boarded her for as long as a week and taken her for daycare. They are incredibly reliable and easy to get ahold of. Olive gets super excited when we drive into the neighborhood now, and the staff there seems excited to see her too! They also send pictures and videos at no extra charge when boarding. I love that they don’t require your dog to sleep in a crate as well. Thank you, hound hearts!
Lovely place! I highly recommend it. Sandy is a wonderful person and my dogs always come home happy and worn out.
We are SO glad we found Hound Hearts. Sandy and Morgan are wonderful and we trust them completely with the care of our Milo. We have left him in their care while we have been on vacation anywhere from 3 or 4 days to more than two weeks. We don’t worry at all because we know they care so much for him.
I have to say that boarding with Sandy at Hound Hearts has been amazing. I wholeheartedly trust her and her staff to watch my dogs and keep them safe. I have a Basset Hound and she personally has Basset Hounds so it is fun for him to play with them. I also have a small mixed-breed that I worried about playing with bigger dogs but have never had an issue. They always come home happy and tired. I would not know what to do without her service, I just hate thinking about sending my dogs away while I'm gone to be crated for hours on end. With Hound Hearts there is no long hours being crated, the dogs get to roam the house like it's their own and get to play in a huge backyard. Love this place! Would recommend to everyone.
Hound Hearts Dog walking & Boarding provides tip top service. The owner Sandy is easy to communicate with as well as extremely dependable. I work a unpredictable schedule sometimes and Sandy is ALWAYS willing to work with me to make sure my pups get taken care of. I have 3 dogs that I take to Hound Hearts daycare and 1 dog that Sandy comes to my house to walk. For my pups that go to daycare they come home happy and tired, they are also very happy and excited to go to daycare every morning. They jump out of my car and wait patiently at Sandy's front door unable to control their excitement of seeing Sandy. My dog that Sandy walks is also very happy and calm when I come home. Sandy always locks up and makes sure my pup is all tucked into her crate before she leaves. My pups are my babies and I wouldn't trust them to anyone else but Sandy. Besides giving great doggy service, Sandy is also a very kind and compassionate person that will work with you to make sure you get the best deals. I am so thankful that I was able to find Sandy and her business. I would recommend her to all my family members and friends.
Sandy and Morgan are amazing! They are always willing to take in your dogs even at the last minute to working around your work schedule and my pup loves it when he goes to daycare and is always so tired when I pick him up and they send you pictures throughout the day to let you know how your dog is doing. They are life savers I don't know what I would do without Hound Hearts this place is my pups second home!🐶🏡
I'm a bit nervous telling SLC about Hound Hearts. I had found an amazing vet when I moved to Utah and told everyone I knew about that vet - and was never able to get an appointment again! Hound Hearts is a god send. My dog gives four paws up & a tail wag for all the love and attention she receives from Sandy and Morgan! I am the MOST picky pet owner when it comes to vets and those who interact with my dog - and I can go to work - even in the middle of the night on a trauma call - and know I'm leaving my dog in the best hands, so I have no worries. I work crazy hours at the hospital and Hound Hearts has THE BEST daycare hours - 24 hours / 7 days a week. My girl started daycare two weeks after I adopted her; a one year old high energy herding breed. Every time I picked her up, her tail was wagging and her tongue was hanging out - she even skipped dinner sometimes because she was so tired. She would wake me up before my alarm clock because she was ready to go to daycare! I like the personal touch Sandy and Morgan give vs those bigger businesses with more dogs. I can't even explain how much my dog loves Sandy's homemade doggie cookies that she sells at the farmers markets / dog events (I'm sure taste testing for the masses makes for a hard day at daycare for my dog!). They are healthy and tasty (I've tested them myself). Bring your dog to meet Sandy and Morgan - let your dog tell you how much fun Hound Hearts is!!
I can't speak highly enough of this daycare. I have an energetic collie-mix,Louie, and he is so excited to go. The first day I dropped him off, I was nervous. In 10 minutes, they had sent me a photo of a very happy puppy. They are reliable and very responsive. This a great home daycare. As a first time dog-mom, I was anxious. Louie leaps from the car when we arrive to play with his friends. If you are looking for a place for you pup to get some play and social interaction, this is the place !
We have been bringing our now almost 14 year old dog here for years when we go on vacation. I know he feels right at home and loves to snuggle there. I don't think I would trust him with anyone else. She even sends pictures and updates when she has him. Thank you for taking such good care of our Sammy every single time you have him.
It was such a blessing finding Hound Hearts to take care of my fur-baby Gizmo. Sandy and Megan have taken such good care of my little boy, gave him tons of hugs and love. They were so accommodating with my crazy work schedule. I would pick up my little boy exhausted from a day full of play with his new friends. They are worth their weight in gold and I wish I could find someone like them back home! Recommend them 1000%!!!!!
I absolutely love Aarf! I have had the opportunity to work as a hiker for this company AND have my dog be a client of this company and both experiences have been amazing. I have engaged with other hiking companies in the past and none of them live up to Aarf. I can confirm that Aarf makes sure all dogs are well taken care of, by ensuring that we get well trained dogs who get along well with others. If there is ever an issue, Aarf has always made sure to hike the dogs separately or advocate for its staff by encouraging additional training. My dog absolutely loves his hikes and I am so happy knowing how well cared for he is when I’m out during the week!
We love taking our gal here, and she has the best time. The staff treat her so well, and it's clear she's well-loved and enjoys the time she spends with other dogs there. They do a great job of updating us daily, and the report card/pictures are always a highlight for us when we're traveling. I'm glad we found this place, and we look forward to having our gal stay here more.
Aarf is an amazing company with great people. They pick up my dog from my house and take her on hour-long hikes with friends for the price of a day of daycare. I know she’s safe and having a great time, and she’s settled and only needs a relaxing walk when I get home - much more my style after a long day at work! They always send me a brief summary on their outing and pictures which really brighten my day. So thankful I found Aarf and I’d absolutely recommend them.
I have researched many different boarding places for my sweet Bella who was a rescue dog. I was hesitant to place her in a pound style care facility because she had already been locked up for several months before we rescued her and had mentally started to show extreme distress due to this. The other boarding places had only concrete for the dogs to mingle and allowed no toys and they were locked up at night in a cage with no staff onsite during sleeping hours. This is not what I wanted for my dog so I looked at Aarf house. Aarf house was different in a huge way. The business is a house with a big backyard of dirt and fake grass and a doggy door leading into the house where they can come and go as they please. They have a doggy swimming pool and a lot of toys for the pups to play with. The staff really seem to love the animals because my dog gets excited when I bring her there and it’s not because of the other dogs which she tolerates but really wants no part of their shenanigans. The staff are caring and watchful and the best part is they are there 24 hours a day. The night shift employee sleeps in a bed and the dogs are even allowed to sleep with them if they choose. They bring out more than enough dog beds though for everyone to have a comfortable bed. Just about everything is fine for the pets to lay on including the leather couches in the living room. The staff are trained in giving medication which my dog needs and they also gave her water separately because my pooch is weird and doesn’t like drinking from the communal water bowls. What really impressed me though was how watchful they are, they brought my dog into the off limits kitchen where they allowed her to have some alone time away from the others so she could nap in peace without the others bothering her. This meant so much to my wife and I that they even noticed she needed that. The report cards they give you for each day your dog is boarded is a nice touch and they are also honest with the report as they mentioned my dog didn’t eat her evening meal which I knew she wouldn’t. I couldn’t be happier with the experience we have had with Aarf house and I’m glad I found them. If you want your dog to feel like they are home then the Aarf house is for you.
We have finally found somewhere that we don’t have to feel guilty about leaving our dog when we go out of town! Our dog is like a child to us and we only want the best for him. AARF provides a level of care and communication that I have not experienced in another boarding facility. Rather than mosey around with half hearted supervision only to be put in a kennel later somewhere else, at AARF he went on daily hikes, played ball to his heart’s content, and even got his favorite butt scratches. ❤️ The report cards and pictures we received every day while away made me feel so much better knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for. Thank you so much to Susie and AARF for that peace of mind.
We LOVE Aarf! My sweet rescue dog is shy and had not stayed anywhere else since adoption a few years ago. I took her for a few play days before boarding for a weekend. She warmed up to them so quick. It is such a homie and welcoming environment. The staff are amazing. The daily report cards bring such peace of mind. I am so happy to have found such great care for my precious pup!
We love Aarf!! We have been doing their group dog hikes for a few months and our Lab boys have the best time. Remi, their usual dog hiker, is an absolute angel and our boys love her. She sends the sweetest updates with lots of photos after each hike. We would recommend Aarf to anyone!
Suzie and AARF Pet Care have been walking and staying with my dog Sadie for the last year+ and I can’t tell you how happy I am with their services. They are great with the animals, do a fantastic job communicating, and are nice people in general that really care about making sure your animals get what they need while you are away. I have tried several other services and daycares, none of which have delivered the same level of care that Suzie and company have. I would highly recommend AARF Pet Care if you are looking for quality care for your animals while you are busy.
Suzie and her team take excellent care of our pup when we can't be there with her and we never worry for a second. We know our dog is happy as can be playing in the mountains and spending time with other dogs. The added service of pickup and dropoff takes so much stress out of travel and we can't express our gratitude enough for these awesome folks. I just have to add that our pup stayed with Aarf for 7 days and returned happy and healthy. Suzie and staff really went the extra mile, noticing early on that our dog prefers the company of people over dogs and making every effort possible to get her more human contact. I got a report card daily with photos and a write up that demonstrated she was truly being cared for. I just appreciate them so much and, while the price is more than a standard kennel, the peace of mind knowing that my dog is happy and well taken care of instead of crammed in a cage is invaluable.
Suzie is so wonderful and patient hiking with and transporting our three high energy pups! They come back from hiking so happy and tired, and we love the photo updates. It's so nice to know they're out having fun while we are working.
