Yan & Tetiana came and looked after Wilbur our cat and our house for a month this summer. They are thoughtful, caring and considerate people. They supplied photos of Wilbur while we were away and kept in regular contact so we felt reassured. On our return, the house was in immaculate condition and Wilbur was very happy cat and probably better groomed than when we left! I would not hesitate to recommend them for housesitting and pet-sitting duties. Hope to see them again.
India and James clearly bonded with our animals and I can honestly say they were genuinely depressed to see them go. (Made me question if I'm a good owner!) The house was immaculate when we returned, they'd even made the bed for us and left everything spotless. Such a huge relief after traveling over 60 hours to get home! Throughout our time away they were amazing at sending photos and keeping us updated with our pets, which we missed horribly, and really helped us feel closer to them. I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed by this wonderful couple if you should trust them with your home and furry family members.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Wonderful staff, kind and great with my dog. My dog loves it here he goes a few times a week. He comes home tired and happy. You can tell they love animals, separated by who gets a long with who instead of size which has been an issue for us at other daycares.
We love this place! My golden retriever Ruby is always ecstatic when we pull up into their drive way for boarding. The owner is thoughtful and cares so much about the dogs. They have plenty of space in their rooms to hang out in. I know she gets plenty of exercise and social time while she is there because she is so tired the next day. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.
We love Plesant Kennels! On our 4th year of boarding our dog here and have had nothing short of a great experience. I love the flexibility with pickup and drop off and our dog is always well cared for. Definitely would recommend them!
Our 6 mo old lab puppy spent a few nights boarding at Pleasant Kennels. It was her first time away from us, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Taryn was awesome & sent me texts & pics to let me know my puppy was doing well. She played with other dogs & went on a hike, both of which she loves. She was a tired & happy pup when we picked her up. We will definitely board her here again when needed. Highly recommend.
Left my dogs here for a quick weekend getaway. Picked them up and they were happy as larks! Great clean facility, incredibly nice and personable owner. My two medium sized dogs shared a large indoor/outdoor kennel with large bed. They got exercise time in the fenced in backyard and got to play with other boarders. I’ll definitely be back! Accepted payment was either cash or check at my time of booking. Not an issue at all :)
Our dog Stella loves this kennel! The facility is nice and always very clean. The dogs are given plenty of room to run and play. Taryn makes sure your dog is comfortable and not missing home too much. She went above and beyond by giving out Christmas stockings with goodies for the dogs over Christmas break. Definitely our favorite kennel by far! Thank you Taryn!
I love this kennel and so does my dog Lilly. She is so incredibly excited every time we pull in to the lot. She loves running around and making new friends!! She rests very well after a day here. Taryn is so friendly and caring. I have no worries leaving Lilly with her!!
Had a family emergency out of state a few months back and Taryn was able to board my two goldens for a couple of days on very little notice. They are doing alot of great work there and expanding as well. When you board yout dogs they have nice add ons to make thier stay a little more....pleasant. Like trail walks, and games. As I understand there will also be grooming here in the future too.
Taryn does a truly amazing job with the dogs and is so thoughtful and caring with each one. We have boarded our dog a couple of times with Taryn and our dog absolutely loves going to Pleasant Kennels. We highly recommend Taryn and Pleasant Kennels.
Incredibly friendly and helpful, they talked to me extensively about other kennels in the area that they know and would recommend, given they weren't able to take my dog for me on the short notice i needed. It was wonderful to be able to speak with someone from the industry and to have them give advice as a pet owner.
I recently started taking my dog, Daisy, to Blue Dingo Dogs for daycare and I’m extremely impressed with their services. The staff are certified in Fear Free boarding and daycare, which is evident in the way they interact with Daisy. She always comes home happy and well-cared for. The facility’s focus on low-stress handling and positive reinforcement aligns perfectly with what I want for my pet. It’s reassuring to know that Daisy is not just being watched, but also mentally stimulated and treated with kindness. Additionally, the range of services they offer, like grooming and training, is very convenient. Highly recommend Blue Dingo Dogs to any pet parent who wants the best for their furry family member!
Best groomer ever. I deal with a lot of rescues and I have total confidence in bringing them to these ladies and dealing with rescues a lot of times the behavior is questionable to say the least they handle it with ease confidence and sensitivity to the animal recommend them highly.
We bring both our golden retrievers here for grooming. They do a great job at tubbing them up, clipping, and making our boys look handsome and they smell great. We are very happy with thier work.
This was my first time using Creature Comforts. We were forced to find a new groomer after the one we had been using suddenly closed. I am so happy we found them. I have a large Bernese Mountain Dog with a lot of fur and they did an absolute great job. They made sure to clean up the problem areas I had mentioned that were especially important to me (behind his bum and in his ears) They were also very fast! It took just over 2 hours to groom him. Grooming can be stressful for some dogs so I’m glad this was a quick session for him. Some groomers I have used in the past would keep him 6 hours! Would definitely recommend!
i have an anxious little guy and being in a space surrounded by other dogs and noises can be stressful for him. however, cheryl is so good with him!! i am very grateful to her for keeping him beautiful, clean and comfortable ❤️
I brought my little girl Paisley and she looked so adorable. Thanks sooo much Emma for doing an amazing job and making Paisley so happy!!!
Our pups love going to daycare at Blue Dingo! Everyone is really nice and they truly do care about the health and safety of your dog while in their care!
Creature Comforts is the best pet groomer we have experienced. They truly love dogs and listen to the customer's requests. We have 3 dogs groomed there on a regular basis and they are always so cute when freshly groomed.
Cheryl and Erica have been grooming my doodles for 3 years. One of my doodles is difficult and needs more attention. The empathy and understanding from Cheryl and Erica is very much appreciated.
Excellent job of bathing/grooming my PomChi. My dog is very happy. <3
After adopting my rescue in October, I immediately got him into training classes here and we haven’t stopped since! We’ve done positive training level 1 and 2, dog sport, and multiple levels of nose work. Each class has been amazing and I’ve gained so much knowledge from the trainers as a first time dog owner. I have boarded my dog here both for the day and over night and I love seeing how excited he gets when we pull into the parking lot. Every staff member knows him by name and genuinely cares about him and get excited to see him come in. There prices are extremely reasonable for the level of care and love that is shown to your pet during their stay! I can not say enough positive things about Champion Kennels!
My boys love Sherry , best place for a grooming session. Also, I have done training here in the past. Great instructors, well ran kennel facility.
We recently boarded our dog and cat overnight at Champion for several days, and we couldn’t be happier with their kindness, care, and professionalism! Both pets had little to no experience with boarding, and so we were a bit apprehensive about leaving them in an unfamiliar place. Everyone at Champion was so kind and patient with us, answering all of our questions and reassuring us that our pets were in good hands! Plus, we were really pleased at how clean and spacious their facilities were. While we were away, Champion staff were extremely responsive when we asked for updates/photos, and at pickup, we were thrilled to see how happy our pets were. It was clear that they were very well cared for! They also came home with little report cards about their stay, which was a great personal touch. We’ll certainly be using Champion’s services again, if need be. Thanks to everyone there who made this such a positive experience for us!
The only place I trust with my dog. They also offer some fantastic classes
After a horrible experience with a boarder in Sudbury Mass my Vet recommended that I try Champion Kennels in Sterling. My babies have had 2 day visits and one overnight. They have been loved and welcomed by the staff and I could not be more pleased. I can now leave Howie and Charlotte knowing they are not only well cared for they are happy. Cannot say enough good things about Champion Kennels!
They are a complete Kennel. They offer many different type of classes. My best behaved dogs have been trained at Champion Kennels. I currently attend a class with Kris. She has been wonderful with my dogs. She understand dog behavior and explains why the dogs do things so you can understand how to train them. Within 6 months I was able to get an obedience title on my dog. They have top quality dog food and toys for sale. They have great kennels and grooming for your dogs. Everything you need for your dog is here.
Recommended. Will be back for cat boarding! Allowed me to use my cats dry brand of food to avoid stomach upset. My cat gets car sick and they cleaned him up on my arrival. Friendly staff and hours are more convenient for picking up and dropping off compared to some other boarding facilities. Definitely worth visiting Champion kennels if you need pet boarding. Edit: Unfortunately they have become more popular for cat boarding and they went up their rate to the same rate as many other boarding facilities. Also, they started booking up so I couldn't board my cat at all. I had to go elsewhere, closer to me, for the same rate.
Champion Kennels is a great training facility. Our instructor Kris listened to what we needed from our dog, got to know the dog, and then as easy as pie she got him to do just what she asked. Amazing gentle techniques, all very painless and pleasant for each one of us. Perfection!
We took our dog for a private lesson with Kris. The dog was aggressive toward young girls and I have a number of nieces and small children in the house. I brought the dog and one of the little girls and Kris taught us exactly what to do to modify the dogs behavior and help the young girls get comfortable with the dog. They are now best friends thanks to the suggestions and exercises that Kris gave us.
one trainer here kicked puppies and recommend we yank a nipping puppy's leash to correct it. the trainer who came after her whipped a dog with separation anxiety and told us to be the alpha over our dogs. I left classes extremely confused at times.
The Rustic Dog is awesome! We sent our dog Paisley there for boarding and daycare for the past 3 years before moving out of state. Dave was tremendously helpful when we first adopted her. She was very skittish and we had quite a bit of difficulty before enlisting his help. He helped us get her acclimated to her new home and was even honest with us when it seemed that she wasn't enjoying her time at daycare, as he really wanted what was best for her. After a few weeks, she loved it so much we ended up sending her twice a week and for boarding! She would come home from daycare completely exhausted and she greatly enjoyed her time there. They are always very responsive with requests and keeping us up to date when Paisley was boarded. They are also extremely safe and responsible when handling dogs, and I never had to worry when she was in their care. I would one thousand times recommend The Rustic Dog (and I do to anyone I know), not only for their professionalism and clear knowledge of dogs/dog behavior, but they loved and treated Paisley as if she was their own. We will miss The Rustic Dog greatly!
Couldn't ask for a better place to take care of your dog! We own an Australian Shepherd with high energy, and she would come home from daycare EXHAUSTED (and a bit dirty!!) but would be sleeping all night and be lazy most of the next day. There are few people I would trust to care for our dog other than Dave. Only reason we stopped going was due to a move far away. Other "daycares" do not compare. You are incredibly fortunate to get a spot at The Rustic Dog! We will probably make the trek to have Dave (and family) care for our dog for any trips we take in the future.
My pup absolutely adores going here. They take such great care of her. Such a wonderful place for pups.
My puppies have been going there since they were old enough. They are well behaved and walk on leash like a dream. They listen to commands with ease. I absolutely love bringing my dogs here. Dave always fills me in on how their day went and cares about my dogs like we do.
One of the best retreats that my dog has been to. Love the laid back, family feel they offer here. A must for your dog. The only place I know my dog will get a vacation while I am on one!
My pup has been going here for over a year. I looked long and hard for a daycare that wasn't just a warehouse. The staff is amazing and love the daily report and stories
Dave is the dog whisperer! Best care around in every way!
Great folks that care allot about the dogs that stay with them.
Every dog is treated with such caring.
Great place!
