I never met Felicity in person, but had a helpful zoom call with her before the sit. I felt confident that she would look after Millie (my cat) and the cottage well. She arrived soon after we left for our trip to Venice and seemed competent in finding her way around the cottage, garden outbuildings et cetera. She also introduced herself to Millie and obviously looked after Millie and the cottage well in our absence. Felicity‘s car broke down while she was staying at the cottage, but out for the day and she made all efforts so that she could get back to the cottage and Millie by train, which I really appreciated. We came back to a contented cat and a tidy clean house – thank you very much Felicity! I would be very pleased to have Felicity come and sit again.
Nancy is one very caring, trustworthy, and talented person. We arrived home late so she stayed the night. At bedtime one of my dogs jumped into bed with her instead of me! Both my pets took to her immediately. If you're fortunate enough to have Nancy come and stay in your home and take care of your pets you can go away feeling all is well. And you'll also feel like you've made a new friend. I can't recommend Nancy highly enough.

Well, it's the safest, warmest, gentlest place for a pet I'd ever seen or trusted your pets are in great hands. The owner treats me like a son .
Incredibly happy I found Steven and his wife. Had not left my senior Labrador in anyone else's care for nearly 7 years basically because I didn't trust anyone. Knew from our meet & greet that my guy would essentially be on a vacation and receive the care & attention he needs. Grateful about every aspect of his stay. Thank you!
Our Home Dog Boarding is the best "cage-less" kennel care your pet will receive. I boarded my dog with one of the sponsor families and she was absolutely wonderful. The process is easy. Steve will set you up with a meet and greet with the family who is approved by Steven himself, if all goes well you set the date and drop off your dog and his/her things to the host. I've boarded my dog several times and have never had an issues at all. Such a great concept and very affordable.
So very highly recommended. The personal attention and care Stephen and his team of people (especially Diane) that open their homes to my dog is above and beyond expectations. My dog has fairly severe separation anxiety and Stephen has the patience to understand him and our situation and accommodate and care for him in so many ways that make him comfortable. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is with people that understand, appreciate him and work hard to make him as comfortable as possible. He and his team are true dog lovers and understanders; consistently and thankfully accommodating to my and my dogs personal situation. I very highly recommend!
I met Steve Linn when I had a rather old, very sick Brittany. I had previously used Lakeside Kennels for years, but I did not want to leave him there to go on a long vacation when he became ill. I saw a business card that Steve had posted on a message board at my gym. I called him and started interviewing some of Steve's dog hosts. We found a perfect place with a host who did older dogs and took them on many short walks a day and spent the rest of his time at home with all the dog beds lying in front of him. It was the perfect place for my dog. Unfortunately Zeke has gone to the rainbow bridge. Now I have Elvis a 2 1/2 year old Brittany. I have left him with two different hosts at Christmas and have been very happy with both experiences. I wouldn't consider leaving him anywhere else. Now Steve is making mailboxes with your dog's face and body surrounding it. This mailbox is a big hit with my family and all my family and neighbors who have seen it. I am sure you will find a picture of it on Steve website. It is the one with the gorgeous orange brittany on it.
I cannot say enough great things about this service. Dianne (Grandma) was fantastic. The fact that a meet and greet with your dog before you leave them is very comforting as it gave me peace of mind knowing ahead of time that our Maggie would be happy there. The process from start to finish was easy and efficient. Did not have to wait for responses to inquiries. Just wished Grandma lived next door, such a lovely person.
Both Rhett Butler and I are thoroughly enjoying your service! I can see the difference in him when I pick him up from the boarders (Kim and Diane). He is carefree. In the past as much as I liked the service I used; when I picked him up he was anxious and it was apparent that he'd been over licking his forearms. When I travel I don't even worry about him now. I have peace of mind. Thank you!
Bentley loves visiting for both day care and boarding!!
Our dog loves Our Home Dog Boarding
You have the right services that have me coming back. The staff is awesome, the place is immaculate clean and the camp guidelines and rules make it safe to leave my guys for the day or overnight. I love the grooming services, the little extras you can get like playtime, snuggle time, picture day is awesome, I get the best shot from picture day and all the other events you have.
I love knowing there’s a safe place to take my furmily when I’d like them to have some additional socialization, exercise, stimulation or to just not be pent up inside if I have to spend some additional time away from home. I recommend our local Camp Bow Wow to all of my furiends, furmily & training clients as well.
Great place for your pup to have fun and mix with other pups to get some energy out. The employees and Manager are terrific and truly care about your family member while they are there. And as a bonus you can check on them with their live cameras Highly recommend them!
Place was very clean. Was very happy how they interacted with the dogs and made sure everyone was getting along. And everything was explained in detail what they do. We were shown around to ever part of the facility from there rooms to out door play area. We were very impressed with the information we received in such a short period of time. And was very happy to be able to watch our Jake play with other dogs that were there. He had a blast. I feel very comfortable leaving our Jake stay there for sure.
Tater Tot has been attending Camp Bow Wow for over a year now. They are absolutely wonderful to Tater and anytime I look at the camera's his tail is wagging! Highly recommend especially if you have a puppy that needs to burn off some of that excess energy and needs more avenues for socialization! Tater Tot's brother Waffles will also be going as soon as he is old enough! Also the holiday pictures they send are absolutely the best!!! (Tater Tot thinks he is a model now)
The facility is beautiful and CLEAN! As soon as you walk in you smell a fresh clean scent, every time. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They know my pup by name and are always happy to see him. I feel 100% safe leaving my dog, Roadie with them. He’s boarded there several times and also gone to the day camp many times. The Comly Road facility is literally amazing! I have not one bad or negative thing to say about this place. I’m grateful that it exists. My dog and I love it so much!
Gus loves Camp Bow Wow. Everyone is very friendly, the camp is clean, and most importantly Gus feels comfortable there.
I love that you are a pit friendly establishment. The staff is very warm and caring. The facility is always very clean. I love that I can access the camper cam to check in on my fur baby. Everytime i think about Camp Bow Wow my heart just leaps with joy that I have a place that is very accepting of my Baileigh girl. She’s been discriminated against in other establishments based solly on the fact that she is a pitbull and that hurt me to my heart because i know she is the sweetest, most gentle baby girl. Thank You Camp Bow Wow for EVERYTHING 🤗.
My dog and I love Camp Bow Wow! Jack gets so excited from the time he walks in the door. The camp counselrs take very good care of the dogs. The absolute best part is the camp cameras. I can watch Jack play with his friends and check to see if he is okay. Peace of mind is everything! Camp Bow Wow for the win!!!
My dog Axl loves going to Camp Bow Wow. The people are so nice and take such good care of my dog while I work. I love the fact that I can check in on the camper cams during his stay. Today he participated in a dog birthday party and got a goodie bag.
I’m so impressed with the care they take with our fur babies. From the initial temperament evaluation for day care, to the vaccination requirements, to the cage free boarding, and to the grooming (Mary is so affectionate and caring), I can’t say enough good things about them. I’m a customer for life ❤️
I can’t recommend Villa La PAWS enough! From the moment our puppy arrived for his first evaluation, I felt reassured by their caring staff. They took the time to learn about my dog’s needs and routines, which made all the difference. We really love logging into the webcams while we are away—it really puts our mind at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. The staff at Villa La PAWS treats my dog like one of their own, which I greatly appreciate. They truly put my mind at ease and I have no doubts that our pup will spend many years growing up with his Villa La PAWS family!
Best Place for my Two Beagles-Benny and Jet! Going on three years- three days a week daycare and boarding for two weeks twice!!! Every one loves the pups and cats! They know their names and their likes and dislikes. They are the best!
I’m always hesitant to leave my Husky with anyone that I don’t know well, but there are times that it’s impossible to avoid. I’ve left her at one or two other kennels and she was confined to an area similar to what you may find in a rescue shelter. Alone and isolated from other dogs. Villa La Paws is an amazing facility. Not only do they allow the dogs to interact all day, they also followed my instructions to give her a puzzle, that I provided, each night, to keep her mentally stimulated. If she doesn’t get her puzzle she will demand in no uncertain terms, that you’ve not fulfilled your responsibility to keep her happy. 😃 They also have a fairly well developed and strict vetting policy. Must have all shots current and spend at least two sessions in daycare. All this to keep the animals safe and fully protected. Once you’ve tried the best, forget the rest. I won’t take my Husky anywhere else.
I want to thank all the staff at VLP for providing excellent care to my dog,Isley! Isley has been attending daycare for 1 year and he loves it! Daycare was recommended because Isley is timid around other dogs and people. He needs the socialization so he can learn how to be a dog. We affectionately refer to VLP as school and we refer to the staff as "teachers". As soon as I ask Isley if he's ready to go to school, he starts jumping and barking with excitement. Yesterday, I checked the camera and noticed that he was sleeping on a blanket. I was happy that he felt comfortable and relaxed enough to take a nap. He usually walks and jumps all day when I see him. I don't know what was happening but Isley backed up and hunched his back in fear when other dogs came to him. Maybe the other dogs wanted the blanket? I could clearly see that Isley was frightened. The teacher, Nicole ,came over immediately to make sure everything was ok and Isley was not being bullied. I was impressed by how attentive she was! Nicole and the entire staff pay close attention to what's going on in the room and I love that! I very much appreciate the love and caring that the staff shows Isley and all the other dogs! I've seen how gentle and patient the staff is with older sicker dogs and it absolutely warms my heart! Thank you for training your staff to be the very best! It definitely shows and we truly appreciate you! If you have to get on a waiting list,VLP is worth the wait! Isley attended 2 other daycares before VLP and neither experience was positive. One daycare had a horrible stench and was dirty. There was no limit on the dogs and it was like a huge dog warehouse-horrible! The other daycare was pretty and fancy but the staff was cold to my dog and they never tried to show him any attention / love. One day I came to pick him up and the staff told me that I was wasting my money because Isley doesn't socialize with other dogs. What?? All dogs don't play together if he's not used to other dogs. Isley is friendly and loving but he just stays to himselfand that's fine. That was his last day there! I called VLP and got him on the waiting list and the rest is history!
We have been going to Villa La Paws for 4 years now. I can’t say enough good things about Mike And his staff. They treat your pup with respect and always make sure they are safe when playing. They have boarding and grooming available. We have used all the facilities. They also don’t crate the dogs when they board they stay in rooms with other pups they get along with. I am sure you will love this place
Great place. I took my pug❤️ for grooming. The service was great. Mary as our groomer, she was kind and took good care of our baby. The price was reasonable, cheaper than the chain store groomers. The waiting list for day care and boarding is very long we are number 260 and something....
This is the best doggy daycare/boarding around. Careful attention to detail and consideration of the temperament of dogs and I just love the vibes! Feels like family and my dog LOVESSSS to go.
This facility has been a godsend for my family when we are in need of daycare or boarding. Our dog is afraid of crates, so this crate free facility has been such a gentle, comfortable way for us to board our dog! Wonderful employees who really care about the animals and plenty of playtime and socialization for the pups.
Absolutely great place to keep your pup when away. The staff truly are dog lovers and always one “human” in each room the dogs are in. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play and sleep time in open rooms with couches. And best part is live camera feeds in each room so you can see your pup anytime from wherever in the world you are.
Kaytlynn’s K-9 and Cat Care is like no other! She is so extremely caring and kind, trustworthy, responsible, and just fabulous! She cared for our 4 cats while we were away and anyone who knows me knows those kitties are my babies, but I never once worried about them because I knew they were in excellent hands. They all loved her so much. She sent pictures and an update after every visit. I 100% recommend to anyone looking for in home pet care while you are away. We will definitely be utilizing her services for every future vacation!!!
After 41 years of marriage that included 10 cats, she was our first professional cat sitter. We could not have been happier with her services. Highly recommend!
Kaytlynn does an amazing job with my 4 cats. She sends me the best pictures and I know they are well taken care of. She is always in communication and lets me know if she see anything that might be off. I have a very difficult cat who needs insulin shots and she worked with us for weeks getting him used to her giving him his shots. Her dedication is unmatched and I’m so thankful we found her! Not worrying about the cats when we’re away is priceless. Thank you Kaytlynn!
Katelynn took great care of our 17 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. During the meet and greet, it was clear that she has a love of cats which made me feel instantly comfortables. Additionally, I was impressed by how professional she was and how well organized her business is. While we were away, I received daily updates, was reassured that our cat took all her medication (administered 2x/day) and she was kind enough to take in our mail and packages. Most importantly, Shayna’s area (food/litter) was left impeccably clean. I would highly recommend Kaytlynn for your pet care needs, and I plan to use her in the future.
There are not enough grate things that can be said about kaytlynn and her service. As active travelers, We used her many times a year for several years to watch our cat while we were away. Every day twice a day there were text updates with pictures. She was diligent, thoughtful and offers peace of mind. We recently had to let our beloved Dixie go, and Kaytlynn’s kindness and compassion were out of this world. Great person to work with. Recommend to everyone
Kaytlynn has been terrific. She goes above and beyond in taking care of our dog. She has been flexible when we had to make last minute time adjustments and our dog just loves it when she comes by. I would highly recommend her services to any pet owner.
This was our first time EVER leaving our 3 yr old golden retrievers. We were nervous. Kayt was easy from the start. She cares and you can tell. She came in multiple times a day for 3 days. My nerves were settled once she sent pics and they looked happy and tired out. She took care of our girls and our house! She even left us this picture of them for when we returned. Highly recommend
I've used several pet-sitters over the years and Kaytlynn goes above and beyond with her services. Her professionalism and initiative is admirable and unusual in the service industry, especially for a young person. During her visits she provides regular updates and pictures so I know my dogs and cat are in excellent hands. Kaytlynn does overnight visits for me and leaves my house cleaner than when she arrived! I can go on an overnight trip or week-long vacation and really enjoy myself knowing my babies are safe and happy. I've hired Kaytlynn many times and trust her completely with my fur babes and my home. Can't recommend her enough!
Kaytlynn is amazing! She takes such great care of our dogs and cats. She keeps us posted the entire time we are away and makes sure our fur babies are well taken care of and feel comfortable when we aren’t there. She administered medicine and followed all of our instructions and listened to our requests. Kaytlynn also leaves your house immaculate and makes sure you come home to a clean tidy, house with happy pets! She even left us little heartfelt presents upon our return!! Highly recommend!!!!
Kaytlyn took care of my three kitties for five days and I couldn’t have been happier. She updated me every day with texts and pictures and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. I’m sure I’ll be using her again soon and would recommend her to anybody. She’s professional, responsible and responsive. Thank you, Kaytlyn.
To say Theo loves camp bow wow is an understatement! The excitement he gets when we even go near that area makes us laugh, but also really happy. Knowing that he likes going there makes it easier to do him off. But as much as he loves it so do we!! Heidi and her staff go above and beyond and treat each dog like they’re their own. I will never take my dog anywhere else and I tell anyone who ask that this is the place to go! Take your dog here and trust me they’ll love you forever!
Our dog Ace loves coming to Camp Bow Wow. Whether it’s for day camp or overnight boarding I know he is in good hands. The camp counselors are the nicest and most kind people, they make drop off and pick ups as smooth as possible. They go above and beyond when it comes to 1on1 time, holiday treats, etc and I would recommend them to anyone looking for top notch dog care.
Abby and I love Camp Bow Wow…. For the last 9 years, Abby has enjoyed her weekly fun session with her friends-both furry and human. And I have the assurance that she is well-cared for.
The staff is amazing and genuinely care about the pets. We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow and are so appreciative of the amazing care the staff consistently shows to Cooper. Highly recommend!
Camp Bow Wow is clean and well-staffed! The hours are flexible to accommodate busy schedules. Love being able to watch my dogs!
We dropped off our boy Ace for his interview and we were blow away by camp bow wow! The consulars are so nice and educated and the facility is great. After our pup passed his interview we immediately signed him up for a week of boarding and purchased 3 days passes and a grooming session as well. I know Ace can’t wait to get back there and play.
Our dog Oliver loves Camp Bow Wow! The staff is wonderful and welcoming, always greets our pup by name. He’s always so excited when we pull into the parking lot, and immediately falls asleep when he gets home! Highly recommend!
The staff is very friendly and welcoming and I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. The boys are always excited to go and tuckered out when they come home which means they had fun playing and running around. The staff is also very responsive and easy to reach for any reason. I love being able to check in on the dogs whenever I want as well.
Went in for a tour with our new 5 month old puppy. Never got a tour. Receptionist told us we had to have our dog for 2 months before they were able to house him. Wh couldn't she tell us that over phone.🙄🙄 …
Our dog (Teddy) is always thrilled to come to camp bow wow. The woman at the front desk is always wonderful and greets our pup by name as he walks in (wish I remembered her name but she is awesome). Teddy is always worn out by the end of his stay from playing but sad to leave. Love the cameras as well.
