Abby is a delight and a wonderful pet sitter. She and her dog, Wynn, were great companions for my dog, Lexi. They provided a safe, fun, and stimulating environment. Wynn had little experience with cats, but she was gentle while curious about my cat,, Sophie. Abby left the house in good shape - clean, tidy, and a pleasure to return to - even though a summer rainstorm must have been an unexpected challenge. The pets and I would be delighted if Abby returns in the future.
We had a wonderful sit! Charlie the “Whatcha snacking on?” pups was a dream to meet and relax with. Chris and Staci were a pleasure to meet, quick to respond to questions, and had everything prepped for the sit. The home is absolutely wonderful! Highly recommended this sit to others.
Jo is such an amazing person with the coziest home. I stayed during the start of winter and loved watching the season change in such a peaceful part of France, while staying warm by the fire in the evenings. The dogs, Percy and Ollie, were the sweetest boys showering me with love and the cat, Willow, kept my feet warm at night in bed. The horses were amazing and only a short drive into the valley right on the river. They all loved a good brush and would ask you for your attention with a little head rub ❤️. Many times I would bring a book and just read next to the water while they kept me company. There is a great community of people that Jo introduced me to that have become life long friends. I went to yoga and coffee every week with a neighbor. I had endless dinner and tea invites from the other women in the area. My French is not the best so it was so nice to have a great English speaking network of people. There are so many beautiful towns to visit in the surrounding area that you will always have a new cafe and city to wander. My favorite was Cordes-Sur-Ciel for its artist vibe, cobblestone alleys, and amazing views. My favorite past time was to wander with the dogs (and cat most days) on our walks while hunting for mushrooms. (The local pharmacy will identify them for you, yummy! 😊) Literally cannot say enough good things about my time here and I am looking forward to my next visit in the future. You won't regret your time here!
Lovely little Luna 😊 An excellent stay. Helen was incredibly welcoming and very open and generous with her home. We spent a very comfortable and relaxed fortnight in Stony Stratford. Luna is absolutely gorgeous, she was a little shy and for the first day, we did not see too much of her apart from when she came for food. Once we had gained her trust, she was a complete delight, she plays like a kitten and especially loves playing with toys on the trampoline 😊. Luna uses the house mainly for eating and sleeping and the garden is her playground. She didn’t go far and if we called her in the garden she would pop out from under a bush and then come running over calling out ‘hello’. She always then want to be stroked followed by a game with a toy. Her favourite toy was the red shoe lace! We really enjoyed the sit, it was a pleasure meeting Helen, her family and of course lovely Luna. We definitely recommend this sit and hope to return if the opportunity arises.
Marcus is a lovely cat. I loved being with him. Barbara and Geoff are very nice persons. They showed me everything I needed before they went on a trip. Highly recommend it
My experience pet sitting for Vanessa and James was nothing short of exceptional. I would jump at the chance to sit for them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a pet sitter in the city. Thank you, Vanessa, James, and Cosette, for an unforgettable experience! The Midtown apartment is located in the heart of city and is not only spacious but also offers breathtaking views. The generous size meant there was plenty of room to relax and unwind. One of my favorite moments was lounging on the comfortable couch, gazing out at the twinkling lights of the Empire State Building at night—a sight that truly encapsulates the magic of the city. The apartment's proximity to Grand Central made exploring the city incredibly convenient. With easy access to transportation, I felt like a true New Yorker, immersing myself in the bustling energy of the streets. It wasn't just a weekend visit; it was an opportunity to live and breathe the vibrant culture of New York. Of course, the highlight of my stay was getting to know Cosette, their adorable dog. Cosette's boundless energy and affection made each day brighter. Whether she was chasing after her favorite toys or snuggled up beside me, her presence filled the apartment with warmth and joy. Taking her for walks along the sidewalks of New York was a delight as she eagerly explored every scent, her curiosity infectious. Communication with Vanessa was seamless. While she was always available if needed, she respected my autonomy and didn't require constant updates, allowing me to focus on enjoying my time with Cosette and exploring the city.
Dave and I enjoyed our house sit in Bob and Marilyn’s beautifully landscaped property, there were multiple outdoor seating areas that made it a pleasure to live there while caring for their 5 dogs. The dogs are trained to be off-leash and were never far from us, whether it was hanging out poolside with us or watching TV. Their unique personalities were quickly revealed: the Great Dane, the gentlest of giants stole my heart—Garbo was so light on her feet as she bounced and sprung in circles around Honey (a Pomski?) as they played on the lawn. It did not take long for Honey to warm up to us, she quickly and enthusiastically let us know what was on her mind, whether it was coming in hot for a treat, a nuzzle or food. Of the terriers, Lucy always managed to work her way into the position that offered the closest proximity to human touch. Ricky was the early morning ring leader, rousing the household to get feeding time underway, yet his preference was to eat alone after the others were done. Tiny Randy was always eager to cuddle and the caboose on the movement of his pack. In the mornings, the dogs accompanied us on the patio while we watched the birds at the feeders. The airy open floor plan has a well-appointed kitchen and a very comfortable family room where we received doggy snuggles in the evenings. The pool has a sweeping view over the pasture and there are sculptures scattered throughout the carefully landscaped grounds. The location around Prettyboy Reservoir offers plenty of nearby hiking and cycling for outdoor enthusiasts, and the house is extremely comfortable for homebodies. It was a pleasure to have such an enjoyable stay. I hesitate to write this review because we want to be the sitters of choice here! ~ Lorena Streb

Maggie and Ruger's friends will be missed. We have been coming here for nearly 7 years and will miss all 4 legged dogs on Fridays. Beth, the owner and the employees are by far great. Thank you, ~Dean&Shellie ~SEMPER FI~
Absolutely amazing place for your pup to get some zoomies out! I took my dog here years ago & now with our new pup we needed a place to take her while we are either working or just wanted her to make & play with new fur friends. The staff is awesome & super friendly. The place the dogs with like minded pups as to keep the energy levels even. You can drop off for short periods of time or all day if needed which is nice. After Gizmo's first two days there she was so tired she fell asleep immediately in the car haha My little tasmanian devil was beat! She was so happy an excited. So happy she has some new fur friends to play with there. Definitely recommend
Our fur baby LOVES it here and it shows. The excitement she shows when pulling up is insane, they are great with the dogs.
We have a 11 month old berenese and she has been going to Linda, Beth and the staff at uppity ever since we got her. She loves to play with her friends and as sad as it sounds she never wants to leave 🤣 . My dog is well taken care of and loved and its a relief to not worry while I am at work.
My dog absolutely loves the day care. The first couple of visits she was iffy walking in but now she flies out of the car and is so excited to see her doggy and human friends. I don't worry about her at all while she's there.
There's an employee named Max that might look like an Alaskan Bushman somedays. But he's one of those people all dogs like they can tell who's good and who's evil. Plus he's my best friend so I know he's good. Anyway good place if you need dog baby sitter
Friendly staff, veteran discount and I know my dog is safe and happy.
Not recommend unless it’s your very last choice. For daycare: they use big area pens for bigger/smaller dogs which are good but the smell was HORRIBLE. Human can’t stand a second of that smell not to mention your pups. For boarding: the iron small cages they use it’s literally the same as PRISON. They claimed to put quiet dogs and louder dogs in two areas but the fact is the quiet areas are all crazily barking dogs (small&big). The iron cage is very small, and there’s no window, no air, no natural light, and also smell so bad. They are so short of staff. Two people in charge of ~10 daycare dogs, plus ~50 boarding dogs. If you can accept that, then you can choose their cheap price. If not, don’t go.
We boarded our dog here for 2 days/1 night while whitewater rafting in the area. We felt very misled. Our rescue pup is half pit bull and half other things. We had a long conversation with a worker guy here about her play style and told him her breed when we made the reservation. I also sent in the paperwork and her medical records in advance. We were assured that she would get to play with other dogs. We reiterated her play style when we dropped her off and were assured that all was good and the dogs' play was supervised. Then when we picked her up a different older woman told us that our dog didn't even get to play with other dogs at all b/c she was half partially pit bull. Apparently, she only got one-on-one time with humans but never got to play with anyone. If this is the place's policy, they should have told us that when we made the booking or dropped her off and continued to talk to them about play time. Not led us to believe she was getting play time or at least a chance to take a temperament test and see if she got along with the others in boarding. Yet another example of unfounded pit bull discrimination in California. It's fine if that's he facility's policy..that's their choice. But I just wished they would have told us and not made it a surprise at pick up. If we knew this policy, we would have looked for another boarding facility b/c our pup deserves at least a chance to play. A generous 3 stars only since it seems that she was fed properly and returned to us with no injuries and the price is good for the area .
Our pups had their first ever boarding experience at Uppity Pup. They stayed 5 days and while happy to see us upon our return they were also clearly well taken care of and happy with the staff.
They are so fast and efficient with getting my dogs nails trimmed I love bringing my dogs here. Thanks so much for your hard work, my dogs are not easy! And they’re never made them bleed. The vet has made my girl dog bleed twice.
I’ve brought my golden retriever dog, Rosie, here many many times for boarding and grooming. They do a fantastic job and of bathing and “deshedding” her. I absolutely love and trust this business. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and, seriously, can’t do enough for you.. I’ve popped in, unexpectedly, in the area where they play at different times of the day and all Is great! My dog always seems happy at drop off and pick up! .
Absolutely horrible I made sure I could stay with my pup because of his anxiety and it was disturbing the place was a mess dog hair and dog poop everywhere. They don’t clean there brushes or nail filer all the dogs looked terrified. Never again! Please don’t take your sweet baby’s here!
Kelly did a great job grooming Queen! After moving here awhile ago, we had not been able to keep up with her hair growth and she had quite a few mats. Kelly handled it and gave us a fresh start to ensure it doesn't happen again! Thanks Kelly!
love this place!! Brought my dog here for the first time and we had a great experience. Nice staff, good prices and great work. This is our new spot! 100/10 recommend this place for grooming! :)
Always such a blessing to have affordable and available daycare. No appointments needed for daycare, and they will even file nails after our active girl has run around a bit. She gets out so much energy and loves playing with all the friends at the pet club!
A great place for doggie day play and boarding. I feel like all staff members work hard to keep the dogs safe. They are quick to clean up accidents and give time out when dogs needs it.
Our pups love their hotel experience. We used to try to task family with watching our dogs when we left town, which was always a hassle and somehow always ended up with us coming home to a house full of "accidents", which was always great to clean up after a long trip. We started bringing our dogs to the pet club. What a terrific experience all around. The staff is incredibly friendly and our dogs seem to love them. We even get them groomed here and they do an outstanding job every time! Charlie and Lulu love you guys, keep up the great work!
There isn't enough praise I can give to this group; everyone from the daycare facilitators, groomers, and adoption services is beyond top-notch when it comes to care and respect for the animals in their charge. I personally have adopted one of the best dogs I've ever owned from them, and I bring both of my dogs in to play at the daycare regularly. They love it! Always a friendly greeting from all the staff, and it speaks volunes that my dogs seem to love them even more than I do. If you're on the fence whether or not to use their services, I urge you to do so! Amazing group, thank you so much for all you do!
They sounded very nice. Maybe if they weren't overwhelmed by all the evacuees' animals, they would be better. I was told on the phone how they loved my dog and she was doing so good. They would send me pictures. A week later...still no pictures even after I called twice. I was also told they would groom her before I picked her up. I called the evening before around 5:30. Picked her up the next day about 10:30 and her fur was sticky and stiff on her paws and her neck. She was very dirty and her fur was not shiny as it always is. She was not groomed at all. It was free so I should not complain, but I did not take my dog there.. she was transferred there by the Animsl Shelter. We were going leave a donation, however when we saw the condition she was in, we decided against it.
I love this place. Jeremy and Alicia have always taken great care of my 3 babies, ever since I started flying to the east coast, regularly, for work. They always send me picture updates and let me know how they are doing. My dogs are always tired out after i pick them up, and they are always happy when i bring them back. So i know they are doing something right. And their prices are very reasonable, better than other kennels. Thanks guys for everything that you do. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My dog, Maia, loves staying at PDH! And if she loves it, I do too! Both the owners are great people and really love taking care of dogs, and it shows! I wish I had found them a couple years ago, but in my life everything happens as it should. Every picture I'm sent while Maia is there, I can tell Maia is happy and having a good time. And when I'm there to pick her up she's not dragging me to the car wanting to rush home, cuz she wasn't happy stayin in whatever curfuffle she dealt with....which has happened with other sitters or boardings I've tried. And for me, and my weird life, the fact that Alicia and Jeremy are flexible with keeping Maia more days than I planned for is huge for me! Maia chose them to take care of her, as long as the pool is full, the treats are a plenty and she's treated like family and is allowed on the furniture with the peoples... shes happy as a clam. And, I know better than to let a husky review anything, cuz they are highly vocal, and all, but for me with Maia its her body language when she's around people that speaks more to me ... and with both Jeremy and Alicia, she leans in to being petted and smiles. Says volumes to me about Maia's opinion of them, and to me, makes every dollar I spend for Maia to be with them is well worth it!!!!!!!
We have boarded our dogs and our cat many times with Alicia and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are very conscientious of our pets needs or special needs if required. We get pictures of our pets while in their care to be assured they are doing well.
We recently boarded our 13 year old dog for one week at PDH, and can't say enough about the great care provided. Our pet came home happy and playful.
Great home for your puppies when you're away on vacation! I love Placerville Dog House. We use them often. They're a little off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. They are always professional and easy to work with. And their pricing is much more competitive than anywhere else in the area. Happy Customer. Highly recommend!
Amazing! We took our 6 month old German Shepherd Maui here today for doggy daycare (aka "playcare" as Alicia perfectly describes it) so he could socialize with other pups and burn some energy. Judging by how he is zonked right now and the look on his face when we picked him up, he had the best time. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and Alicia and Jeremy gave us a quick tour of the place. The backyard play area is incredible and has multiple obstacles, tunnels and room for pups to explore. You can tell a lot of thought and work was put into the space. Alicia and Jeremy were extremely kind and knowledgeable, and we felt 100% safe leaving our boy there for the day. They brought out a few different pups to introduce to Maui to see how he would do, and all went great. It ended up raining while he was there, and of course he got muddy playing with all of his new friends. These guys are so awesome that they gave him a nice rinse and dry down before we left so he'd be good to go for the car ride home. All in all this was an amazing experience and we will be back for any and all of our boarding/play date needs! PS: Alicia also takes great photos!
We are so glad we found Alicia's Leash Animal Services. Not only are they conveniently located to suit our needs but the care they provided our dog was top notch and much better than a typical kennel situation. We will definitely be using them for our future boarding needs. Angie gives them a 5 star rating!
Great place! We just moved to the area and needed a place to board our dog overnight. Alicia's Leash was wonderful and took our dog last minute. I was a little nervous dropping our dog off because she is quite shy but she did great and I knew she was in good hands. They took excellent care of her and she seemed to have a lot of fun. They have a big shaded area for the dogs to play in complete with tires, grass, tunnels, etc. and all the dogs sleep indoors at night. We will definitely be back!
They have a beautiful spot in the mountain. Not commercial at all. Just a home converted to a dog care facility. The play area is contained well and has tunnels and igloos buried around for the dogs. Jeremy and Alicia are really nice. Highly recommended!
It was my first time taking my dog boarding and we went to Alicia’s Leash. Alicia is super nice and great with animals! She made me feel so comfortable to keep my dog there overnight and she also sends you pictures and videos of your dogs playing with the other dogs! I would 100% recommend Alicia’s leash to anyone that wants to be able to relax on a vacation or business trip and know that your dog is in great hands! Also when I picked up my dog she even made a magnet with our dogs picture! I can’t wait to take my dog back for day care so she can play with all her friends!
I lived in Flagstaff Az for 21 years and moved to Placerville almost a year ago! Becky was a life saver for me as my little girl Harleigh was severely injured just weeks before my move. Becky took care Harleigh and her sister Callahan until all of my moving was done. She took Harleigh to all her vet appointments in Cameron Park for me…this took a huge weight off my shoulders during what was a VERY stressful time anyway. If I could give her 100 ⭐️ I would
My dog is an active husky and slightly timid/anxious without me around. After a recent escape adventure from a friends house, I was really nervous to board him anywhere but had to leave someone suddenly for a family emergency. I was so lucky that Gina had space, as Dogwoods Resort was the only place I was really willing to consider. Gina is so good with the dogs, and the property is absolutely perfect, with large fenced areas for them to run around. Being a helicopter mom, I went in for a meet and greet before our reservation and after seeing the place and meeting Gina, any concerns I may have had were put at ease knowing that my dog would be safe, have lots of room to play, and could be social with other dogs. He came home dirty, tired and happy and that is exactly what I wanted for my pup. I know it can be hard to get a booking, but I understand why - I wouldn’t want to leave my dog anywhere else. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Gina and her family provide the best care for our pup! Lots of activity on beautiful property. We wouldn’t be able to leave town if it weren’t for Dog Woods Resort 😃 …
I have been taking my dogs to Dog Woods for at least 10 years. I wouldn't take them anywhere else. The property is beautiful and I know Grizzly is being well cared for and having fun all day with the other dogs. When he comes home he sleeps for hours. It is not your typical daycare. Gina does a really fantastic job. Communication is excellent and it's easy to book a reservation. Grizzly loves Dog Woods. He will be back often.
Our fur babies love going to Auntie Gina's! They will vocally express their excitement and wag their tails once we turn onto the road leading to Dog Woods. We miss them while we are away, but know they are extremely well taken care of and most of all loved. Jeff and Dalaina
I have brought my Great Dane here many times, Gina takes amazing care of my dogs, and all of the dogs in her care. Easy booking, great communication, and lovely facility. If your dog needs a place to have fun while you’re on vacation this is the place to go.
Our pups have stayed with Dog Woods several times over a couple of years. We have a rescue that is overly cautious of new people, but is excited every time we pull up to the Resort. Moose, Pua, and their humans 100% recommend.
Dog Woods resort is truly a home away from home! Gina is awesome. Very welcoming, the dogs are all happy playing and running around inside this beautiful property. The reservation process is so easy, very professional and you don’t have to worry about a thing! We highly recommend this amazing place!
Great place for our two dogs to have a vacation while we were on vacation. Beautiful open space for the dogs to roam, play and run. Our dogs were well cared for, communication was superb, and the web service for scheduling, notifications, and overall ease of use for us was fabulous. Thank you Dog Woods Resort for an amazing experience.
My pup Gideon LOVES DWR! He gets SO excited every time we pull up to the property and shows Gina all kinds of love when he see's her. His humans love DWR too! Booking his visits is super easy and the communications around confirmations, payment, etc. is fantastic! DWR is PAWSOME!
Dogwoods is unlike the normal commercial dog boarding places. Your dog is not just another $ sign here. They take the time to get to know their clients and the clients parents. Dogwoods also makes accommodations for dogs with special needs and senior dogs who need a little more attention. You can rest, assured your dog will be in great hands and allow to enjoy your vacation knowing your dog go is having a blast and is being well cared for!
I am so thankful to Vickie at BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! I am the kind of dog mom that puts my 2 boys Doug and Rusty (dachshunds) above myself. I set my house up so that THEY are happy and comfortable. I have a low bed,, doggie ramps everywhere and there are dog toys all over. I would say that they are a little spoiled ❤️🐾🐾❤️ I only trust a few people with my dogs. I recently moved to Fair Oaks. I searched online for pet sitting and called Vicky, the owner of Bow-Wow pet sitting and boarding. I asked many questions. I then looked at her reviews on Yelp and decided that I would give her a call back. She was able to take my dogs the next day. She was so great! My dogs were barking and have separation anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable with Vicky. She is very kind and obviously loves animals. Her house is set up perfectly - she can separate dogs if necessary but still see them, they are not locked away in a closed room. She had a big wonderful yard to play in. When I picked up my boys they were happy and not stressed. Now they WANT to go there! Even though I'm done moving I intend to to take them to Vicky's at least once a week because they love her and I don't take them in the car and leave them when running errands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VICKIE AND BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! She is reasonably priced and very accommodating. ******************!!!!💕
I am appalled at the neglect and inhumane treatment of my dog. We left my dog Roxxy there for the weekend over 4th of July. We made sure they were aware she was a rescue dog with anxiety, and we were guaranteed that our dog would not be left alone during the fireworks. After we got our dog home, that night we realized her mouth was severally injured. Apparently, she had been left outside in a metal crate during fireworks while the owners of Bow Pow Pet sitting went to the liquor store, and tried to chew her way out causing the damage to her mouth. Multiple teeth had been broken off, her gums were destroyed and she had literally chewed so long and hard the bone of her jaw was damaged. We were never notified that our dog had been injured under their care, we had to wait to find out when we got her back, and with the extent of the injury being as bad as it was I have a hard time believing there were no signs of blood or injury when it happened. The surgery to fix my dog's mouth was over $3,500, which Bow Wow Pet sitting never even tried to repay. I felt the owners of Bow Wow pet sitting were unprofessional and down right negligent to have let this happen. To top it all off, after multiple complaints from us they still have pictures of my dog on their website, against my approval, to advertise their business. Usually I am not one to write angry online reviews but I feel strongly that they were negligent towards my dog.
My dogs were well taken care of in a family style environment. Both had individual needs and their needs were well taken care of. Was so pleased with the great care both dogs received! Recommend!
Great attentive people who are dedicated to every animal they come across. Reasonable prices for the amount of service you receive. They always go above and beyond for their customers and our pets.
My dog loves this place his friends all go there
Bow Wow pet sitting the dogs can run around and play with other its like pershool
Best place to put your dogs
Very accommodating,.l
Happy pets stay here
Vickie is great
I used to be a loyal customer and highly recommended them, but I unfortunately can no longer support them after having a deeper understanding of their protocols. Before getting into the worst of it, I'd like to point out that they have astro turf which unsurprisingly causes dogs' feet to get irritated on hot days. In their report cards, they will simply say they noticed they were getting irritated and treated them, but probably won't tell you why unless you ask. I started as a client with my husky Freya. Unfortunately she died in their care due to unknown causes. Their story was she was outside and started having irregular breathing, so they took her inside where she collapsed and died. She was 9 and had glaucoma, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt even though she was otherwise a healthy dog who had no problems going on 3-5mile runs with me when the weather wasn't too hot. Looking back, maybe I should have been more skeptical. When I got another husky mix, Loki, I started boarding him there and he loved it. However after a little over a year of boarding him there with no major issues other than being an overly enthusiastic husky puppy, he developed a food aggression issue while in their care. Freya had some food aggression issues when I first got her and I have taken care of multiple dogs with the problem before, so I am very well educated on prevention and training for it. When I asked about their feeding protocols, they stated that they simply drop the food in front of the dog, leave the room for an hour, and then come back in to take it away to get pressure washed whether there is food left or not. When Loki first demonstrated food aggression, their response was to attempt to remove the bowl with their foot or a fake prosthetic hand. This is textbook what not to do and will absolutely CAUSE AND INTESIFY food aggression. When I pointed this out and suggested that they should implement standard sit/stay feeding protocol, use redirection techniques, or to not try to take the food bowl away while the dog is still in the room, their response was essentially that they don't have time to do that and don't want to train their staff in standard dog handling practices. They even commented that past customers have suggested the same thing. This tells me that they are entirely aware that their protocols can cause food aggression and that they refuse to do anything about it. Apart from this incident, Loki seemed to love all the workers I saw him interact with. They all looked on the younger side, but they were extremely friendly and positive. I just wish the owners cared enough to train them better.
From my work account 3 years ago: I have a Husky mix who’s a handful, mindful but energetic. The staff have always been patient and loving towards Luna. I feel blessed to live close enough to use Local Bark. Last year I traveled almost 70% of the time for work. If it wasn’t for them I’m not sure how I would’ve gotten by… EDIT: I have since moved to Midtown Sacramento so I no longer go there but or Pomeranian gets groomed at their Power Inn location "Response from the owner 2 years ago Oh Luna! 🤗 She keeps us on our toes and we love that crazy girl so much! Thank you for the great review Walter and thank you for sharing your girl with us!" I am closing out reviews mistakenly completed in my work account
Amazing staff. Reasonable prices. All types of services from Daycare and Boarding, to Grooming, to Day Training, Boarding School, and Puppy Prep School. THEY EVEN HAVE A WALK-IN POOL MADE SPECIAL FOR THE DOGS!! Large & Small Dogs are welcome, as well as PITBULL FRIENDLY!!! You can tell the staff LOVE dogs, and genuinely care about what they do. Very trustworthy, welcoming, and easy to leave your pets with. The girls at the front desk and attentive and polite, and make things like checking-in your dog, or providing any information needed about the business easy. I highly recommend The Local Bark for all your Dog Care, Boarding, Grooming, Training, and occasional swimming needs!
Our dog has a great time at Local Bark... always comes home happy and tired. It's awesome that they have a pool that he can enjoy, one of the reasons I picked Local Bark in the first place. The facilities appear to be very clean and the staff are always nice. Oh, and they post pictures every day on their facebook page... so it's fun to see what your dog has been up to. Definitely recommend!
We love the Local Bark! Our dog has been coming here since she was a puppy ( she is now 9! ). We don’t use it as often as we did in the past as their prices have gone up, but when we need care for her overnight this is our go to place. They have different sized “rooms” for the dogs to stay, all day play time out back and offer grooming services as well. Our dog is happy here!
There is nothing that excites our yellow lab, Austin, more than going to the Local Bark. I usually take Austin to the Local Bark, but the first time my husband took him he passed the turn to go in to the Local Bark. Immediately Austin started barking and vocalizing. We are sure he was saying, "Dad, you missed it! You missed it! Turn around! Turn around now!! Austin just graduated from their 18 day in house training. Ivyonnne is a great trainer and Austin has made great strides in his obedience and self control. The Local Bark is an absolutely wonderful place for dogs. Austin gives it five paws up.
My puppy is very energetic and needs to socialize more with doggy friends. This was his first day at his evaluation. It made my day when I saw his picture, he looks happy and looks like he's smiling. He was happy and very tired when I picked him up because he must have played a lot. I will definitely take him on a regular basis.
Ella, world's most awesome BorderCollie loves the Local Bark to play and stay. The staff are amazing, caring and professional. To the owners and staff...your the best!
Editing my review after picking up my dog.I'm so happy I found a good boarding facility! The local bark is definitely a five-star place. My big mush of a pitbull really enjoyed her 13 night stay here over Christmas!I love the pictures I got to see on Facebook of her enjoying herself. I picked her up and she was so happy and clean, they gave her a bath for me. She's practically dancing in the waiting room while we were leaving. I like that the local bark has the most rigorous vaccine requirements in the areabecause my dog came home very healthy so I appreciate it! Also not much more expensive than any place around it's affordable in my opinion and they provide trusting and safe care for your dogs. Highly recommended I will definitely use again!
Chloe has been going to the Local Bark since she was 16 weeks old. She loves all the attention she gets from the staff and has a blast with the other dogs during Play Care and Overnight visits. Love them.
If my pup is happy, then I am happy. What a great find! Kirsten and Mike took such wonderful care of my 10 year old pup (Monkey). This was the first time Monkey stayed at the Wolf Road Pet Retreat and will not be the last. Kirsten was so easy to work with when scheduling Monkey's stay. My vacation plans were up in the air so I ended up changing around dates - but Kirsten was so accommodating. The dogs are allowed to hang on the couch, sleep in their bed (if pups wanted to) and run around the house as if it was theirs. Kirsten and Mike treat all visiting dogs as if they are their own. Extremely happy with Wolf Road Pet Retreat and highly recommend.
Highly recommend! I am a petsitter and really needed a petsitter while I had to take a trip out of the country and this was a perfect fit. My 2 small dogs had so much fun with the other dogs in their care! The dogs are in the home with them and they have access to an outdoor patio area and play yard. No cages or kennels. Kristen was amazing, she sent me photos and videos of my pups every day. It was hard to go out of town because I would miss them so much them, but I felt very good about their care and knew they were safe, getting exercise and being loved on. Thanks again to Kristen and her husband!
We have used Wolf Mountain Pet Retreat for boarding and grooming our 3 dogs. We couldn’t be happier with Kirsten and Mike and the amazing care they provided for our dogs. They kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages so we always knew our fur babies were happy and safe. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, and compassionate pet sitter, we highly recommend them and will be booking again in the future.
We boarded our dog Nugget at Wolf Rd Pet Retreat while on vacation. Kirsten and Mike opened up their home and welcomed Nugget like he was their own. He was well cared for and we received daily photo and video updates of him interacting with his new furry friends. Also, the pricing was very reasonable. Thank you for taking such good care of him. So glad we discovered Wolf Rd Pet Retreat
Great pet sitter. They welcome the animals into their home like they’re their own. They also pay keen attention to the interactions of the animals with one another making sure all are doing well and no Alpha dominates the others. I was also particularly impressed with how clean everything was. This is impressive given the nature of this work and demonstrates how they care for the animals. We’ll be back. Thank you!
Kirsten and Mike do an excellent job. Got pictures and updates daily for a 13 day stay. Our dog rarely is boarded and he had a good time. Would highly recommend them and Porter(the dog) will be back. Great place
We were in town for a couple days, and needed care for our dog Kaia on two separate occasions. Kirsten was super communicative, easygoing, and offered wonderful care for our dog. Each day Kaia came back very happy :), and we had total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.
Kirsten pet sit our dog and two cats for a week while we were on vacation. From beginning to end, it was a smooth experience and our fur babies were content and happy when we returned. Kirsten was also kind enough to water our garden that we had just planted and our flowers while we were away. She is reliable and responsible and kept us updated with texts and photos so that we knew our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend Wolf Road Pet Retreat for your pet sitting or dog boarding needs!
Kirsten was able to help me out in a pinch. She stepped in gracefully, did a fabulous job and my pets seemed to really love her. I came back home to a stress-free home and got pictures every morning of my "kids" 😘 …
We were going out of town for 3 nights and Wolf Road Retreat was close by and thought we would give a try for our Chanel(cat). I'm very picky and was nervous but Kristin shared photos and videos throughout the day and was in contact stating all was OK. Chanel seemed very happy which of course we were (are) happy. Will use again. M&A Bushee
LBBI is amazing! Their staff are amazing! My husband and I were so blessed to bring a unique pet, our pet rat, Sumo 🐁, to LBBI for daycare during several hot summer days in August and September. The staff were very accepting of Sumo and were genuinely happy when he was dropped off in the morning. Sumo actually became a little less shy due to his time at LBBI, where I know he was taken care of and paid attention to. Other wonderful things about LBBI: the drop-off and pick-up times. I also very much appreciated the email reminders. I can’t recommend this business highly enough! I would give more than 5 ⭐️ if I could!!!
We love Loomis Bed and Biscuit. I appreciate that they require a meet & greet, evaluation, and (complimentary) half day before accepting your dog to the LBB family. My dog Turkey can a bit nervous and sometimes needs a slower introduction to warm up to high energy dogs or strangers. But LBB not only separates dogs based on size, but also energy level. Although my dog was nervous entering the facility his first time, he instantly loved all the staff. And now he happily enters the building and is a happy pup when I pick him up. I also genuinely appreciate that they accept dogs based on their behavior, and not just their breed 💙
My dog always comes home happily exhausted from playing all day at daycare. I've only used their boarding option once, and it was so wonderful to have my mind at ease. They sent me photos and told me how my dog was doing. Every time I drop him off, the staff is so sweet, and my dog is so excited to be there! We love the biscuit so much that we make sure it's part of our household budget.
I’ve been taking Addie (my Australian Shepherd) to Bed and Biscuit for several months. Jason, Logan and the other team members at B&B are absolutely the best. They provide dog daycare services and Addie is so happy playing there 3/4 days a week. I trust them 100% with Addie.
My Golden Retreiver LOVES coming to Loomis Bed & Biscuit! He gets to play with dogs his size all day while I'm at work. This facility is set up well! Big dogs with big dogs and small dogs with small dogs. They have a great outdoor area for them to run and play and inside is a big open area where he plays as well! I Like the fact that they screen every animal before they are accepted, so my sweet Golden Retreiver doesn't have to deal with aggressive dogs! The staff greets me with a smile everytime I come in. I occationally have him boarded overnight and its really comforting to know someone is there overnight with him. He doesn't have to be in a kennel overnight until someone gets there in the morning like alot of other boarding facilities do. I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff! My dog comes home "happy tired" and can't wait to go back the next day! From one picky dog owner to the next I highly recommend this place!
Perfect place to bring your dog for daycare. Inside airconditioned on couches and playing with other dogs. We use all the time!
Amazing business. Very kind and friendly staff. Our dog is sooo excited every week to go to doggy day care and see his friends. Couldn’t ask for a better place for our dog to go to.
Aunt Cynthia's was a godsend when I needed them most. I had looked at various kennels for my two large dogs (50 and 75 lbs), but did not like the idea of them being kept in a small room or worse, a cage, for my 2-week vacation. Instead, I had a relative come stay at my house. That didn't turn out well when the AC broke in 109F heat and the relative was called into work for the entire 2 weeks. My pups had to sit in blistering heat in their kennels for 9 hours a day until the AC was fixed - which took nearly a week (but that's another review). To top it all off, we had a medical emergency while on vacation and no one could pet-sit for the extra 3 weeks we spent in the hospital. Enter Aunt Cynthia's. I called and let Aunt Cynthia's know my situation and that I was flying home for 1 day, then turning around and flying back to be at the hospital. They were able to get me an evaluation appointment during my availability window and we were set. I was unsure how long I would be gone, so I paid for 2 weeks. It turned out to be 3 - and the staff at Aunt Cynthia's was understanding and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing. When I picked up my dogs, they were excited to see me, but they really just wanted to go back and play with their new "friends". For them, it was like having the comfort of home combined with the fun of a dog park. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. I feel comfortable leaving my fur children in the care of Aunt Cynthia and her team.
My girl Willow has been going here since a puppy. It’s the only place she likes almost as being home. LBBI you’re the best!!
No crating. They have rooms for the dogs to play in bSe on there size and energy. Someone is there 24hrs a day. I feel my dogs are well taken care of at bed and biscuit. They have grooming too!
