Great to spend a week in Crystal Palace with two absolutely gorgeous Dachshunds Wilson and Frank, not forgetting Mimi the cat. Jane and Jon were incredibly helpful and welcoming to their very comfortable upside-down townhouse - so lovely to have use of a piano. The neighbours were really friendly and there was lots to do and explore - among other things I went to Dulwich Village and the Horniman Museum but mainly spent a relaxing week walking (and cuddling!) the dogs.
Gorgeous place! Unfortunately the dogs weren’t there, but Miriam was nice enough to let me stay there anyway. Would love to stay again with the dogs!
We loved staying in Lacie house. The family gave us good instructions. The cat, Kyujo, was super independent and the snake Maze gave us no work at all - just feeding once a week. The house and the surroundings are beautiful and our bedroom and the one provided for our daughter were impecable. They have a beautiful family home. We recommend this house sit.
Suzannah and Will have a super cat, Pan. She is cool, relaxed and friendly. Suzannah and Will provided great instructions and communication. It was all very easy. Thank you to all three.
Thank you!
It was such a treat to meet Gil and Abby in advance of their departure. What amazing people! The house is full of creative details and the bed supremely comfortable. Kitties Pajama and Zhu Zhu have totally different personalities and are both such characters. I loved earning their trust over the sit and getting to give them pats and playtime. My ancestors once lived in Honesdale, and it was fun to explore the vibrant downtown. Thank you Abby and Gil for the warm welcome and wonderful sit!

I have an elderly dog and I bring her here to get groomed. She is treated so great AND the price is right! Plus they will call you if earlier appointments open up! I highly recommend.
Gives my dog a full shave for me. Look how handsome! Great groomers and they do boarding
My family loves it here . Justice, our yorkie, always gets treated with love & kindness and when our other dog Liberty passed away we received a sweet card with messages from all of the staff. Can't say enough good things about this place
Have been bringing my male & female Old English Sheepdogs here since they were pups! Awesome groomers! They do a great job! We had Erica for years who sadly moved on but the new groomer was just as amazing!
Great place! They were polite, clean place. They take care of your animals. Will be using this place again.
Alof of miscommunication. Overcharged me .glad I called it . I was late 23 minutes due to traffic and charged an additional half day . Another mistake was made charging me additional money . Watch your bills and money. Not efficient. My dog also got charged $12 for adding fish oil to her kibble .
I have been boarding my dog at Precious Furs for about 5 years. They are the best. I am very happy with the care Trapper receives. I would absolutely recommend Precious Furs.
We have 9-year old rescue dog who is high strong, anxious and doesn't like to be touched. He has stayed at Precious Fur a few times over the last year and he seems to be doing better each time he stays. We always utilize the grooming services and he always looked nice and fresh. The prices are fair and it's always very clean inside. We recommend them all the time.
Our first experience boarding our diabetic cat went so well! She even gained weight while we were gone! Staff was so professional in answering our questions and caring for our cat. We will definitely use their services again.
We have been taking our dog (Buster) to Lynn for about 10 years now. Buster is blind and this causes him to be very anxious. Lynn and all of the staff at the kennel know how to handle his behaviors and we never worry when we leave him there. We drive about 40 minutes just to bring him to Precious Furs because we trust they are able to manage him when we are away. Buster participates in 1:1 playtime with a staff member while he is boarded and we really appreciate this added service. They also administer his eyedrops and this is not always an easy task.
We met Tim back around 2002. After using 2 other pet sitting services that lied & put our pets at serious risk...They said they were at our place ,but they both lied. That's when I did a extensive search for a new pet sitter. We found Summit Pet Sitting , we met with Tim & looked over his all his referrals & found them to be terrific ... One of my cats was Diabetic & Tim is totally trained in giving injections. Both our cats were loving cats .Merlin was a dog in a cats body. Sheba was a bit more of a one person cat, but in time Tim was able to gain her trust. If we asked Tim to call or other certain requests he was awesome. He is loyal, trustworthy & caring person. I can not endorse Tim & Summit Pet Sitting enough.
Tim has been caring for our dogs and fish in our home for the past 7 years. We are now moving out of state and literally the worst part about leaving is that we will no longer have Tim around to take care of our animals (we tried to convince him to go with us but he politely declined). We found Tim 7 years ago after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. Before we found Tim, we had been ready to cancel a trip because we were no longer comfortable leaving our dogs with the pet sitter we had been using. We found Tim, called his (glowing) references, had him over to meet our animals, and we hired him at the last minute. Since then, he has probably stayed at our house at least 25 times over the years. We have had our dogs stay at his house several times as well. Tim is very flexible and accommodating. Our dogs love him. He probably takes better care of them than we do. We never worry at all anymore when we have to travel because we know they are in very good hands. We would 1000% recommend him to anyone who is looking for the absolute best care for their fur-kids!
Tim has stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats twice while we went on vacation. It is much less stressful on the pets to have someone stay with them in their regular environment rather than boarding. Tim takes great care of them, and sends daily updates and pictures! The dogs are always happy and tired from lots of play time when we get home. I highly recommend Summit Pet Sitting!
Tim has been our dog-sitter for the past few years and he has consistently provided us with reliable service. Most recently, Tim watched our dogs during our honeymoon. He noticed one of our dogs had a foot infection and took her to the vet after consulting us. We are grateful his attentiveness to our dogs' well-being led to a speedy recovery. He writes daily reports on our dogs' activities and also takes care of your mail/plants/others as needed. In addition, our dogs love seeing Tim whenever he walks into the apartment -- this gives us a tremendous peace of mind when we have to leave them home. We highly recommend Tim for pet-sitting services.
Timothy Smith is the owner of Summit Pet Sitting. He has been walking our Lhasa Apso "Lexi " three mornings a week for nearly three years. During that stretch he has never missed an appointment. On the rare occasion he can't make it he finds a substitute walker so our service is uninterrupted. You cannot find reliability like that anywhere! Besides his dependability, Timothy is very trustworthy. He has had a key to our home for the duration of the relationship. He can be counted on to let himself into the house, leash & walk our dog, responsibly dispose of the poop, fill the food & water dishes, and lock the door on the way out. In the beginning Tim made sure the dog was comfortable with him. It didn't take long for Lexi to warm up to him and now she looks forward to seeing him! Timothy also will administer medications to Lexi whenever necessary such as the time she had an ear infection and needed ointment applied. He also reports anything unusual like the time Lexi had a urinary tract infection. He noticed blood in her urine and texted a picture to me right away so we could bring her to the vet ASAP. We also board our dog with Tim whenever we travel. He will bring Lexi to his house and care for her like she is his own pet. In addition to his top notch service, Timothy is very reasonably priced. He provides excellent value but most importantly he puts our minds at ease knowing Lexi is in safe hands. He also seamlessly handled a few instances where we had a second dog at our house and treated that dog exactly the same as Lexi at no additional cost. I highly recommend Summit Pet Sitting for all your pet needs!
Tim is awesome. We have 3 hounds, Cora, Mojo and Bennie. They loved being cared by him. He sends pictures and truly cares about his guests. We have used him twice and were extremely satisfied. When we mention his name the tails begin to wag profusely. My wife and I get jealous. Highly recommend this company. Safe, reliable, dependable and affordable pet care.
Summit Pet Sitting is the best. Tim gets my dog. She is an older dog and can get stubborn and cranky. Tim still gets her to walk and play and makes sure she is cared for and safe. He also gives her her medications and never charges extra fees like the kennels do. I could not recommend him more highly. I can go on vacation with total peace of mind.
Tim has always been great with our dogs, and you can tell from the very first encounter that he is an animal person through and through. We always know that boarding with him is their home away from home, and can’t recommend his services enough!
Dealing with Tim is fantastic! Tim took care of our lab "Sarge" for a few days while we were on vacation and we didn't worry once about his care. We would receive daily updates and picture/videos of him hanging out and during playtime. It was a great experience dealing with Summit Pet Sitting.
We have a 3 year old Boxer mix named Koda who is a rescue. She is incredibly wary and fearful of strangers and loudly announces her feelings. We are trying to work on this with her but we still have a ways to go! We recently got married and on that weekend, lost our trusted dog sitter as they were also at the wedding. We got a recommendation from a good friend of ours who is also a local town’s Animal Control Officer. We highly value her opinion as she is working with dogs like Koda daily and if she vouches for someone, it’s for a reason. We spoke with Tim and right away knew that we liked him, but he wanted to be sure that KODA would like HIM. We set up a meeting and Tim came over for an hour to introduce himself to Koda and see how things went. She was initially wary, as she always is, but Tim’s warm nature and experience with difficult dogs showed immediately as Koda very quickly warmed up to him. His knowledge of dog behavior and confidence with reactive dogs made the whole meeting process go smoothly and we were ready to proceed. Tim was willing to watch Koda in his home as we felt like that would be the best option for her. He set up another meeting with us to make sure that that Koda would be receptive to staying at his house and would get along with his dog Rose. Upon arrival at his house, Koda immediately recognized him and leapt in his lap, licking his face! The weekend he watched her went off without a hitch and Tim sent update messages and pictures to keep our mind at ease. All in all, we HIGHLY recommend Tim to anyone needing a dog sitter, be it for a super friendly dog or for one with special requirements like ours. We are incredibly thankful to have found Tim and are thrilled to have found our new dog sitter for the future!
