Lorena and I have just returned home after house and pet sitting for Veronica and Andrew, looking after their lovely home and their border collie, Bertie. Veronica and Andrew’s home is relatively close to our own and we were delighted to meet up with Veronica, Andrew, and Bertie prior to the dates of the sit. We were immediately put at our ease and made to feel extremely welcome whilst we all chatted over a coffee. The accommodation provided to us was immaculate with full modern en suite facilities and with full access to the ground floor rooms and the grounds of this extensive and private property. We were extremely comfortable and we had everything we could have possibly needed for what proved to be a very comfortable stay. Our sit was in late January and we enjoyed using the wood burner in the living area though the property is fully centrally heated. This really is a fascinating property and it was lovely to all sit by the fire in the evenings and look out onto the wooded grounds. For those interested in wildlife this is the perfect house sit with squirrels in the garden and owls in the surrounding trees, this is the perfect retreat from a busy world. A car is essential for a sitter both to get to the property and to reach the local shops in the lovely nearby market town of Morpeth. Full and detailed instructions for looking after Bertie, the property in general, and the surrounding area with its lovely walks were provided and communications with Veronica and Andrew before and during the house sit were excellent, they couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating.
We had a brief but very enjoyable stay with the lovely Ludo. Nola was extremely hospitable and left very clear instructions which made the whole experience super easy and comfortable. Thank you Nola!
We could not have asked for a better first housesit opportunity! Liz did a great job of making us feel welcome and comfortable while taking care of Chase and Bennie. Communication was exceptional - the Welcome Guide instructions were clear, sticky notes were provided where needed and Liz was always available by text. There was no lack of supplies (i.e. treats) for the boys. They were so well-behaved on walks that we looked forward to taking them out which we did on multiple occasions in the neighborhood and to the nearby Metroparks (note: they love car rides). We already miss their company. The house was cozy and offered a wide array of amenities. We would highly recommend this sit and hope we have the opportunity to do it again!

I had an outstanding experience with Pet Paradise from the moment I first inquired about their services over the phone to the time I met their team in person. Their customer service was exceptional, and they followed all of Galatea's feeding instructions carefully, which was of utmost importance to me. Every time I called with questions, their staff was friendly and responsive. Galatea appeared very happy during her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I was extremely pleased with her first visit to Pet Paradise in Bonita Springs, and I will certainly choose their services again in the future.
We love sending our dog to camp and for boarding at Bonita Springs Pet Paradise. Amanda and Allie are the best managers and have the most amazing staff. My dog is well cared for and had the best time and they keep you posted and you can check on them with their cameras. This is such a great place for your pets when they are not with you.
My granddog Scooby stayed at Pet Paradise Bonita for a few days. My daughter couldn’t make it back in time to pick him up. I nervously offered since he is still a puppy, but strong. The guy working on Sunday was so nice and place him in my car. The place is so clean and welcoming. Good choice for our Scooby 🧡 …
I took my dog to pet paradise for 4 days and they did not communicate about my dogs stress he endured at nighttime. He broke the water station and him along with other dogs near here were soaked all nite long the water continually ran until morning , so my dog along e other dogs were soaked and cold, then my dog had an accident in his cubicle and apparantly rolled in the feces and when I picked him up the smell on him was horrendous. they did not tell me what happened and they did not clean him it was literally disgusting and neglect to my dog. I would not reccomend pet paradise to anyone. I had to take my dog to the emergency vet the next day due to some sort of stomach bug he caught probably from sitting in feces and water for a few days .
I have been bringing both mine and my mom’s dogs here for years. Even as the staff has cycled through different employees, they are all always wonderful! Pet Paradise Bonita Springs has done a great job treating them with so much patience and care. I truly appreciate this business so much! Besides the wonderful staff, the facility is absolutely top tier. We have brought the dogs in for everything from grooming to boarding to vet visits. Every time it has been an amazing experience. Thank you guys so much! Teddy and Pickles are looking forward to their next appointment. (:
I used to be a huge fan of Pet Paradise BonitaVet Services until recently and the last few experiences I have been super disappointed. One of my most recent experiences, the technician inserted incorrect charges and then I was asked multiple times to pay more money due to the teams mistakes for entering wrong prices and not realizing it till I tried to make my next appointment. Then I make an appointment for my mom for her pet because again, I was a huge fan. And I show up to my mom’s appointment with her dog because she just had surgery and can’t walk and this very rude technician comes out and says I don’t have an appointment? She blames me and says I don’t have an appointment and didn’t make one when I in fact had email confirmation and spoke to them on the phone. She then rudely again placed blame and says there’s no records of me calling and insinuating I was lying. She didn’t even ask for my number and used the wrong number so of course there’s no proof of it’s not the number… there have been other instances, but there’s two really stuck out to me so I have switched my primary vet and my mom will not be using them. It does make me sad because I never use to have these experiences. I do love the groomer Bella though so I will continue to support the resort side - she is an incredible groomer!
Responded timely to my inquiry about how Sonny was doing during his 13 night stay. Loves being able to watch him on the webcam. Sonny was happy when he got home and had no issues. Great care!
Very well run overnight dog boarding facility. 🐶 The staff was extremely professional. They greeted promptly every time & out of 100+ dogs, they knew ours on a first name basis. Their app is very easy to use, and provides real time video to check on your dog, as well as order a treat, ice cream or a bath before pickup. My dog was exhausted upon pickup from all the activity and social interaction with other dogs during her stay at Pet Paradise Bonita Springs
My Coco is getting older, so she needs to visit the Vets more often. They are great with her as she’s on her journey of aging. Thank you Pet paradise for your discount program you offer us to buy into. It has really made it affordable to take our Coco in for Vet visits.
My elderly mother had her 2 daschunds Stay at the pet paradise on a few occasions when she had to leave the state. She was relatively an established customer there. On Thursday 6/13/2024 my mother had a bad fall and was brought to the emergency room, and surgery followed later that day, as she fractured her shoulder. As she proceeded to get her wits about her, she expressed to me ( her daughter) that she could no longer care for her adorable weener dogs. As heartbreaking as it was, it was the right decision for her and the precious dogs named Wesley and Bryher. The morning of her fall, I brought the dogs to the pet paradise, literally on the fly , with a brief phone call prior to my arrival. It was understood that this was going to be a day to day stay until I could find the best home for the dogs. The next Monday, I posted on Facebook (Bonita, events, etc) stating our situation, and the dogs needed to stay together if someone wanted to adopt them. They're extremely close, and it was my mom's wish to have them remain together. That afternoon, I was overwhelmed with well wishes, suggestions, love, and support. It resulted in a couple from ft myers wanting to meet with the dogs to make sure it was a good fit. I called the pet paradise and explained the situation, and it was initially a struggle to get it set up, Victoria to the rescue! She finally got on the phone with me and discussed everything. She was very empathetic to our situation. She reassured me that we were all set, and the meeting could happen the next morning without any issues. The next morning, the couple from ft myers, myself and Wesley, and Bryher sat in a side room to get them acquainted. It was love at first sight ❤️. It was a success, and the dogs left with their new family. Victoria and the staff were fantastic helping orchestrating this bittersweet transaction. I highly recommend Pet Paradise for any of your pets needs. I apologize for my lengthy review; hopefully, it'll help guide anyone looking for a safe haven for their pets ( family).
I would give them -5 stars if i could We took our 2 year old golden retriever there in perfect condition for a week long stay and he came back to us with a yeast infection in his ear and rash all over his head and neck. At no point did they contact us to notify us anything was wrong with our dog and had admitted to neglecting to do his exit exam with the vet because they were busy. After all these injuries came to light we took him to the vet and we were told by the manager courtney and jen that they would reimburse us the full amount of all the bet bills just to 6 weeks later be told by their corporate office that they will not be paying and they had no right to tell us they would. Al of the managers and regional managers have acted like they care but do not actually. Please for the love all dogs do not take your pets here!!
I cannot scream my praises loud enough for this facility. I have been bringing my littlest prince, Marley for about 8mo now. He absolutely LOVES school (Pet Paradise) and plays his little heart out everyday! When he is done at school, he looks like a sweaty toddler and falls asleep in my lap before I make it beyond the stop sign out of the parking lot. My other two dogs, Mollee & Maycee just had their introduction day a couple weeks ago, and very much enjoyed it as you can see by the puppy smiles below. The staff at Pet Paradise has always been so very helpful even in the toughest situations. I have personally witnessed them being verbally abused by clients, and each time they have kept their professional demeanor. I find that rare for so many reasons. Although I’ve enjoyed my interactions with each of the staff, I have to say that Courtney is the reason I drive my dogs all the way from Downtown Fort Myers to stay/play!!! She has always gone out of her way to make sure that my dog(s) were cared for! In fact, if some didn’t know better they would think my Marley was her dog because of how much they love each other! I have boarded my dogs all over SWFL and several other states due to my career, and I only stopped being a “helicopter pet mom” when I found Pet Paradise Fort Myers. I saw some negative reviews on here recently, and my heart was broken for the staff. The management team (especially Courtney) eat, breathe, and lose sleep over this place and every dog that visits. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen her come in on her days off just to be there when a new puppy is scheduled to come for their intro day. No one has seen what happens when owners abandon their dogs at the resort, but she makes sure they get the medical attention they need and will help to secure homes for them. Anyway, thank you for listening to my Ted Talk!
I truly cannot say enough positive things about Pet Paradise and their team! My fiance and I adopted our GSD, Georgia in April. It took her quite awhile to come out of her shell and learn to trust anyone other than us. Prior to bringing her to daycare/boarding, she was incredibly leash reactive and timid of all new people & places. The team at Pet Paradise took their time with her allowing her to warm up to them, and slowly introduced her to the other pups. They gave her the 1-1 attention & patience she needed to gain some confidence. The first day, she didn’t want to walk inside; but after the next few visits, she now gladly runs through the door to give kisses to some of her new favorite people! It’s such a heartwarming experience to see our girl break out of her shell, be able to play with other dogs, and just be a pup. She always deserved this life and I’m so glad she’s learning to trust and love other people and experiences. Bonuses: we get to check in on her through their live feed cameras, we’re able to book “private suites” so she can take breaks when needed & sleep comfortably at night, and we always select the add on service to receive special report cards with photos. After every stay they’ve also called to check in and see how she’s doing. Special shoutouts to Courtney, Alyssa Jenn, Charlie, Kendall & everyone else we’ve interacted with. Very grateful for your kindness, patience & care!
Hey everyone, I need your help to spread awareness about a troubling experience with Pet Paradise. In July, we boarded our pup Tobey at Pet Paradise while we were away for a week. When we returned, Tobey had developed a severe double ear infection and a skin infection, with visible bumps that were bloody. We never received any updates or warnings about his condition during our absence. Tobey appeared lethargic and not his usual self when we picked him up. After discovering his condition, we contacted Pet Paradise's management, who advised us to take him to their vet. They admitted they had neglected to perform his exit exam and agreed to cover all vet costs and refund his boarding fees. Despite this initial agreement, after three weeks of treatment and continued delays, Pet Paradise's corporate vet concluded it was a "freak accident" rather than neglect. They now refuse to cover Tobey's vet bills, only honoring the initial refund for the stay. This is clearly neglectful. If you care about your pets, please share this post to prevent others from experiencing similar issues. Do not board your pets at Pet Paradise in Fort Myers. Our Tobey deserved better.
Ever since we discovered pet paradise we have loved every second of it. While we do think the price is high, it does feel like you get what you pay for. Pets are well socialized and most requests are accommodated. Would highly recommend this location. Lots of activities around the pool. Looks like they take care of cats and have some very VIP dog rooms.
Love this place for our fur baby Robin! We recently had a 2 week trip and we booked the indoor/outdoor suite and added group play everyday. I absolutely love the webcam system in place where I can peak and see my crazy little one running around and socializing. My favorite part is that the staff at this location which is my only experience with pet paradise, is absolutely amazing at keeping everyone safe and making sure all dogs are playing and enjoying their time in complete harmony. Whenever I was looking at the webcam if my dog or any other dog was being over the top, mounting or simply playing too rough they would be placed in a timeout or rotated out of the group all together. The times for group play can be tricky to catch your pup in action but once I got the hang of their schedule I noticed my girl was always out between x and y times and if I logged in outside those times I would always miss it. So be patient with the webcams, in my case I was in a 12 hour difference so I told family members to keep an eye out and if I missed it someone else would have a nice screenshot of my dog running around in their group play time. I have a pitbull who Is not a fan of getting her nails done so I didn't ask for grooming, and when I picked her up I didn't get any hints that she may have sat in pee or in her poop from not being taken out or something. My dog did go through an interview process to be a part of this location and their services. The interview consisted of her being left at the location for about 5-6 hours (free of charge) and they socialized her and graded her behavior with people and other dogs. I did ask if my dog for whatever reason misbehaved with any dog what the plan would be, I was told that as long as the dog is not aggressive towards humans they wouldn't turn them away. So if your dog doesn't get along with other dog they do work around that which is amazing. The other best thing about this place as you can tell from my pitbull living her best life there they do not turn away any breeds as long and their requirements are met, including vaccines, flea and tick treatment, and spayed or neutered. I already booked another weekend for my baby and I'm so happy for her to have a place with all the bells and whistles and on top of that helps her with socializing and venting energy. Absolutely very happy with my boarding experience. Fyi webcams are running 24/7 I would also want to add that my dog got a life vest when she was allowed into the pool side which I thought was the cutest thing. Also, I was offered sunblock for my dog during her stay since she's completely white and short hair, so goes to tell you about their care and attention to the small things you may forget about.
We initially brought our dogs to Pet Paradise on a “Meet the Fam” day. We loved the report card and updates on how they were doing during their time there. They spent the entire day playing and having fun with other dogs. I appreciate that the staff did a behavior evaluation prior to putting our dogs with others. They love other dogs and enjoy the company. We most recently used Pet Paradise for boarding services as we had to go out of town. They were very accommodating with our last minute reservation and answered all of my questions. I had called back to add on grooming services, extra playtime (on top of the two play times that are included with boarding), and the daily check-ins. We are so incredibly pleased with our experience at Pet Paradise. I am not sure if they have gotten new management (based on some of the older reviews), but we had absolutely no issues while we were gone and after pick up. The daily report cards were done so well. Providing us with updates on how they were doing, new friends they were making, their demeanor, and plenty of update pictures. We are so happy with our experience. The dogs also were groomed well and were nice and clean when we came to pick them up. The facility was extremely clean and the staff was very attentive to our pups while we were out of town. Highly recommend!
Absolutely the best place for our dogs! The staff are incredible! They are always welcoming our pups with open arms and big cheers when they come in for their extended stay! It’s not too often a dogs tail is wagging when they know they are going to be separated from their fur parents but when we arrive to Pet Paradise, tails are wagging and the goodbyes are quick and painless! They have a blast while there, making new fur friends and hanging with the fun hoomans too! Thanks for always taking care of Rosie and Minnie 🫶🏼
I was very impressed from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted by friendly staff and was taken on a tour of the facility. We got to watch the pets that were there play on the pool as well as shown the rooms to choose from. We then made the reservation and went and got our dog Tobie. When he arrived the staff was ready for him and he immediately took to them. We got to to watch via webcam during his playtime and they have options to get rooms to watch the entire stay. We got daily pawgress reports with videos and pictures of our dog playing. I highly recommend this place. He was there for a 3 night stay while out of town and got him back last night and they actually called today to see how he was doing. I love the socialization benefits the dogs get and will be bringing him back for day camp sometimes. Thank you to all the wonderful staff ❤️
We love Pet Paradise! Our dogs always appear to be very well taken care of, we love that we can check on them through the cameras during their stay, they’re always happy when we pull up with lagging tails. We love that they offer a military discount. The only problem we have with Pet Paradise is our dogs never want to leave
We are SO grateful that we found Len and Dianne! Our family decided on a spontaneous trip to the Everglades. They were willing to take our pup last minute. Dianne sent me pictures and videos throughout the day. Their home and yard were well set up to care for dogs. And we felt at peace knowing he was in a caring home instead of one of the more institutional feeling doggie daycares. Our vacation is coming to a close, and I wish I could take TinWoof Doggie Resort back to our home town with us!
We cannot say enough good things about TinWoof Doggie Resort. Sofia and Ben absolutely LOVE visiting there whether it’s for daycare or an overnight stay. Len and Diane are very caring, and treat them as one of their own. We feel very safe and comfortable leaving Sofia and Ben in their hands as they update us through out the stay by sending us pictures, and videos of them having fun around their well kept and clean home. Our dogs leave there exhausted because they never stop playing with their sweet Jax/friends. We highly recommend giving TinWoof Doggie Resort a try. We are extremely glad we did!
We had the BEST experience with TinWoof Doggie Resort and I can’t recommend them enough!! Diane and Len truly care about dogs and treated our pups as their own. I love that the dogs have so much space in the house and the fenced in yard. They are super accommodating to ensure the dogs have a great visit. While we were away, we received picture and video updates, which we enjoyed getting to see how much fun they were having. So thankful for TinWoof and to have them as Cracker and Darlin’s home away from home.
The Eckert’s are wonderful hosts! They vet their dog guests for compatibility which provides confidence knowing our dog is staying in a safe and comfortable environment. The huge bonus is that our dog gets to play and have fun, offering peace of mind while we are away. Love TinWoof Doggie Resort!
Huge thank you to TinWoof Doggie resort who made us and our fur baby feel so comfortable and taken care of at all times. Our Golden Doodle that stayed enjoyed playing with their dog , Jax and absolutely loved the spacious yard she was able to run. They really have a special ❤️ for dogs. We will definitely recommend to others and look forward to coming back in the future.
We boarded our Cockapoo at Tin Woof for two nights. She definitely enjoyed the accommodations and playing with other dogs! There is a large fenced in yard and a safe and comfortable indoor area. We are pleased to find a place for our girl where she is happy and well cared for. Highly recommend.
We just moved to Estero and the best thing we have found in the two weeks since we arrived is Tin Woof Doggie Resort. We love our Millie like a child and are thrilled that we found a safe and loving place to leave her when we are away. Len and Diane are so caring and have a beautiful home perfectly appointed for furry loved ones. Their Jax is a big sweetheart too.🐶
A PAWsitively fantastic In-home doggie resort ! Our experience was nothing short of amazing . Our fur baby had the time of her life , enjoying the cozy atmosphere and being treated like part of the family . It is clear that the owners genuinely love dogs, providing a home away from home for my baby ! Highly recommend for a tail-wagging good time !
The dogs seemed to really enjoy their time and we were very happy with the regular updates and excellent care and concern. Thank you again!
I was lucky enought to attend 'Tech School' with Andy, so when we moved to Ft. Myers he was who I reached out first to take care of our fur baby! Our boy is a bit particular but has really bonded with Andy which makes leaving him home when we travel really great. I appreciate the daily photos and updates, they let me know he's a happy boy and comfortable even though we aren't here. So if you're looking for a great pet care provider, Andy's your man!
We recently moved from NJ to Fort Myers and have found it difficult to find and select services that we can trust in every way. We have 2 little dogs (which are our kids) and they mean the world to us. Entrusting just anyone to look after them is NOT an option. Several people gave us recommendations but luckily it took very little time to select Floridas finest dog sitting service (Andy). He has it all together. He showed up at our home ON TIME with his credentials neatly in hand. He spent time with us and our puppies. It was a no brainer, he was the one. He cared for Barney and Charli just 2 days ago. He did everything we went over and routinely sent us texts and pictures to keep us aware of there status. Leaving them for over 15 hours was so much easier knowing they were with someone that cared for them as I would. We wanted a person/service that we can rely on, that will do what has been agreed upon, be trustworthy, dependable and most importantly care for our puppies as their own. Florida's Finest did it all. We strongly recommend them.
Andy is great! He goes above and beyond and always lets us know how our pup is doing while we’re away!
Andy is the best! He takes great care of my pup. Professional and patient.
I have a German Shepherd which is not the easiest dog to place for boarding. Been taking her for over five years. Everytime I go to pick her up she doesn’t want to leave! They probably spend a lot of time with the dogs and gets special attention. She never has any medical issues afterwards either.
I have left my dogs with Janet and Jaye for 20 years. I wouldn’t leave them anywhere else. They treat them as if they are their own, keep them safe and the dogs get so excited to see them. They go above and beyond to give them the attention they need when we are away. My Eddie is very anxious and even after Covid having not seen them in a long time was so happy when we got there. They send me photos and texts while I’m gone so I don’t miss them. They are two very special women with hearts of gold. They are truly the dog whisperers.
We love your dogs as if they are our own. They receive one on one attention and love throuhout the day. Come and let your dog play, have fun, relax and enjoy our peaceful sanctuary.
I have called and left messages, emailed and even sent a request for a quote on their website and have not received one single call back or email. So I drove there today to find a red gate with a security camera and one word to describe it would be CREEPY! Sitting there in my car you'd think they'd answer the phone; as the sign states to call upon arrival. I would give them zero stars and I will look elsewhere for a place that backs up what their website states.
The absolute best and most loving place for your pet. It's my poodle's home away from home.
This place is amazing!!! Elena Reeves
Exceptional boarding in ladies private residence
Lovely ladies watching your dog
Thank you so much Ed! You are very much appreciated!
My fur baby has been coming here for a few months now. We keep coming back for the friendly staff and peace of mind knowing our fur baby is happy and healthy! We love the daily photos and save them. It’s so nice to know she is having fun and making friends. The staff even knows our girl by name!
I have had my Westies groomed at many places around Ft Myers over the years but my search for the best has ended with Brandon at Buster's Happy Tails! My babies have never looked so good. I admit they were a mess, overgrown and matted with the hurricane and everything. Even with them being shaved short there were no clipper marks or burns like I've experienced with many other groomers. They were silky smooth and their faces were done perfectly. They even got a real Westie ear cut. Even our friends love how cute they look. Their three dogs looked great too! You will not be disappointed with the care and professionalism you will get at Buster's. Brandon is a master groomer for all breeds. I already made our next appointment!
They have great grooming and daycare services. My dogs practically lunge out of the car when we pull in. They are pricey but to be honest, they’re on the cheaper side for the area. We will continue to go to the them for daycare and grooming!
I absolutely love this place. I have a very large puppy....80+lbs at 10 months. He is always happy to go and play with his friends. They treat him well. We boarded our puppy on a recent vacation and it went excellent. Great place for puppy daycare and boarding.
This place is absolutely HORRIBLE!! Too many accidents!!..the owner takes no responsibility for your pet if something happens.. she's shady as hell.. if you love ur fur babies at all, you'd go elsewhere!! Please..go elsewhere! She's a nightmare and so is her business!! Worse place ever for dogs! Smh... just horrible what goes on behind closed doors.. very sad.
Buster's is great for training, grooming, boarding, & daycare. The staff truly loves animals and you can trust your furbaby is in good hands. Their facility is top notch! There are several sections for outdoor play and indoor rest. Outdoor yards have things to climb, access to shade, fan misters, and my husky's personal favorite, multiple shallow pools to cool down in. They also take pics of the pups daily and post them to their Facebook page, so if you're out of town you can see what fun they're up to. Great ownership and staff.
I bring Django at least once a week for daycare and he gets to excited to go! He has also boarded overnight here as well. I love the fact that he can get a bath after playing with all his buddies to come home refreshed! You can tell Django loves everyone at Busters!
We took our dog Enzo to Busters Happy Tails for his very first doggy daycare experience today. All staff were so friendly and accommodating and you can't beat the price! Busters definitely made our first doggy daycare experience easy for Enzo and us! Highly recommend 😊
So grateful for this place! I had to stay in Fort Myers for work during a few weeks, and they were able to accommodate my Boston Terrier quickly. He attended daycare for about 3 weeks while we were there and loved it! They go through screening first to know the dog better and make sure they are not bringing bad behaviors into the group. He made lots of friends and if we're ever back in the area, we will definitely return. Staff is super responsive and organized, the facilities are clean, and the people looking after the dogs are responsible and definitely pay attention and know their dogs.
We absolutely love Busters and are so thankful to have found them. Our English Yellow Lab enjoys here home away from home anytime she is with Busters. We are worry free when we have to travel because the staff treat her like their own. Thank you Busters for providing such a safe, fun place for Keke.
Best boarding place we have ever used. If you are needing to board your dog in SW Florida please do yourself a favor and try the Country Pet Ranch. Our dog Ozzy loves it there.
I can not say enough wonderful things about Country Pet Ranch and their staff. They truly treat your pet like one of their own! They love our babies like we do! This will forever be our girls home away from home. Lots of love! Ella, Coco, Zoey!
I’ve been taking my dog here for a couple years now and only have wonderful things to say! I’ve used 3 other boarding places before finding this one and this is the first place I have never had an issue with! The staff is extremely personable and always happy to have my boy. They are also always accommodating to the dates I need to reserve. I drive 45 minutes one way just to use this place, HIGHLY recommend!
Over the years Country Pet Ranch has really been a fantastic home away from home for our boisterous Labradoodle Rocky. I highly recommend. We feel like he stays with family!
I don't know what we would do without Country Pet Ranch for boarding! Seriously, they are incredible with our German Shepherd. Extremely knowledgeable and confident in their handling. At this time, he is intact, so he has separate playtime, sometimes with other large males. They keep up on shot records, learn the pet's favorite activities and truly care for them like their own! I can pick up the phone and get an update anytime. The staff doesn't even skip a beat, they know exactly which dog you are asking about and give you the info you need so you can continue on with your plans. On top of all of this, their prices are very reasonable! Make sure you reserve your days early as they do fill up, but it's worth every bit of planning ahead.
Our dogs are always excited to go to Country Pet Ranch! They love the staff and playing with other dogs. I love that everyone there knows exactly who my dogs are and are always genuinely happy to see them. We live closer to other boarding places, but we're willing to travel a little further for the Ranch!
Always take good care of our two seniors and their medications.
I love this place! I am so so happy to finally find a boarding facility that I trust and that truly loves my animals while I’m away. Thanks for being an amazing facility where owners can truly put their faith in you to give excellent care to our babies when we have to go and can’t take them with us! ☺️
This place is Heaven on EARTH for dogs! Our two golden retrievers love this place more than even their own home! Truly, it's SO much fun for them to be with the other dogs and all the ranch hands at Country Pet Ranch. We feel beyond blessed to have found this amazing place....it's better than anything anywhere for all things related to happy, having FUN dogs!! Thank you Country Pet Ranch!!!! xxoxoxoxx Daisy and Posey and parents
Genuinely nice people here. You can tell they really do care about making your pup comfortable. I don’t take a lot of vacations because I’m anxious about leaving my dog. Country pet ranch has made me feel at ease. Thank you for taking such great care of Zeek.
They always take such good care of our dog. He absolutely loves going there to stay, and the staff treat him like one their own.
Our dog, Sparky, loves Best Pets! We know because she races in & is excited to see the staff at Best Pets! It’s a great place because they care about the dogs and the dogs are able to play with the other dogs that are in their care. Most places keep them in kennels all day but not here. Sparky comes home happy & tired after a fun day at Best Pets! Great place!
We had an alright experience here. Dogs seemed to do well so thats what matters most. Would give 5 stars but the grooming service has gone wrong and one pup is traumatized now... at least any time we try to trim her hair.
Best Pets is the absolute best place to take your dog. Patty, you and your staff are amazing. This is the fourth year we've come here and left our dogs here. I wish we had someone this great back home I could leave my dogs with. Obi and Poppy will be back.
Our dogs were very well taken care of and they were happy. The staff quickly learned their personalities which gave me peace of mind to leave my fur babies.
Wouldn't allow me to board my 3 Pitts for 8 hrs tomorrow while we helped our daughter move. We live 4 hrs away and didn't wanna leave them in a hotel room all day while we are gone and was told they won't allow them bcuz of their breed! My dogs are not aggressive! They wouldn't even allow a meet and greet before saying no. Such a shame
EXCELLENT! 5 STARS!!! This is the first time we have ever boarded our dogs. I had always used friends and family for pet sitters, but since our dogs are older and require special assistance and on-time medicine, we wanted to ensure they were in the best hands. We did a lot of research and Best Pets came overwhelmingly recommended! Patti and her staff were super helpful and awesome, and they truly are animal lovers. They gave our dogs and others a lot of attention. One of our dogs requires assistance walking and they were great with him. We love the live video feed to check on our fur babies any time of day or night. Patti went above and beyond when we forgot our dog's medication picking him up and she dropped it off at my house at 9:30pm so he wouldn't miss his night-time dose! Excellent people! We will be back for sure! Keep up the great work!!!
We took our fur grand daughter here for a week. While it was hard to leave her, Patti made us feel very secure leaving her in the hands of other pet lovers. We loved the fact we could watch storm on the cameras. I did a lot of research before I settled on Best Pets. We were a little late picking her up so I called to see if they could wait for a few minutes and they did. I highly recommend this facility. Thank you guys for making it less painful in leaving storm for a week.
Our older dog never did well with other dogs or people so we never could board when we went on vacation. When we got our puppy we knew he had the best personality for it but still nervous leaving your dog with someone you don't know for a long period of time. Let me tell you, Humphrey is a shy dog but he RUNS into this place everytime. They are all so loving with the dogs. There are cameras you can log into anytime of the day. Very clean and he comes home so tired from the fun he had. Thank you for always taking care of our pup!
Amazing place and caring staff! We were in a jam as we were on vacation and our dog was barking nonstop in the hotel room, we decided to board him. I contacted this place and they were able to help me immediately. There were cameras so I could see how well my pup was being taken care of, I even saw one of the girls kissing my boy Onyx. It was also nice to know that my boy was able to play with other dogs his size, so much better than being in a crate all day! He had a buddy the whole time he was there. I am so grateful and completely recommend Best Pets. Ty!
All American Pet Resort was the first dog boarding place we tried with 7 month old rescue. We were nervous during his first overnight and even warned them about our dog’s separation anxiety. They were amazing with him and with reassuring us that he was doing good! They sent us pictures throughout the weekend and took him out additional times during the night when he showed signs of anxiety. Our dog has stayed overnight there several times now and LOVES going to doggy daycare there. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our fur baby.
My Maltese who are very sensitive LOVE this place!! They are actually excited to go. They are not scared or shaking when I drop off. They play nonstop. They staff are all wonderful and caring
I just came upon some priceless pictures of my boys. After recently losing my beloved 15 1/2-year-old Scottie Dexter to bladder cancer a few months ago I decided to look through old photos to make a special memorial album. I came upon a batch of pictures from staff at the All-American Pet Resorts Fort Myers that just melted my heart. Most of our crew of four boy are gone now - all but the baby Fionn. So, to find these adorable pictures of the boys having a fun with the doggy clients and staff was a beautiful stroll back through time... Evoking these memories made me realize just how much a of role the All American has played in my boys’ life and mine as well... Over the years, the dedicated staff have cared for, played with, attended to injuries and sickness, loved and cherished our boys as if they were their own. And in many ways, they were theirs as much as mine since they gave of their time and hearts to their wellbeing while my husband Jeff and I entrusted them with our boys. The staff proved themselves to be responsible, conscientious, devoted, fastidious and detailed in their care and medical needs and loving. They cried with me as I lost my boys one by one due to old and illness that medical intervention could no longer remedy. In fact, the dedicated, caring all American staff rushed our Scottie Fala over to a nearby emergency vet clinic when he appeared lethargic and sick. Unfortunately, his liver cancer that he had surgery for a year ago had reemerged and he had he didn't make it. But their lifesaving work made it possible for Fala to be treated and not suffer. Throughout our time with All American Pet Resorts Fort Myers, we have been reassured time after time that our furry family members are getting top notch care and being treated like their own personal family members! Thanks All American for being the best extended family we could ask for our boys’ past and present. I highly recommend the All American to any pet parents looking for a wonderful, clean and loving boarding and daycare facility for your fur kids! You will fall in love with the staff and truly come to rely on this amazing local business for peace of mind the way I have!
Our dog loves this place! We moved to SWFL a few months ago, and our new vet recommended All American for boarding. The staff is always super-friendly and genuinely cares about the pets in their care. We have a 6-year-old, 9-pound Maltese, and she gets very excited when we pull in the parking lot. She runs to the lobby door and is really happy to see her human friends who work at the facility. And we love that we can use the app to watch her run with the other small dogs during "play time." We don't like to leave our "baby," but we know she's in good hands here. Thank you!
This pet report is awesome! They are truly open 24 hours a day, so you may pickup/ drop off your pet any time. They call if your pet is eating or not their usual self. They send pictures! It a clean and very pet friendly place!
We just started bringing our Bella here and I must say, we love it! Friendly, professional staff who truly cares. We really appreciate the breaks they provide the dogs in between play. And the flexible hours or pick up and drop off. So happy we found this place! Thank you for taking care of our girl!
Our pups love it and get so excited when they staycation here. The staff is friendly and we can check in on the pups any time through their live cams. My husband and I had a destination wedding and the staff went above and beyond to dress our pups up on our wedding day and send us photos so they could be there with us virtually. It was a cute and funny moment that brought even more smiles and laughter to our special day. It's wonderful knowing they're in good hands.
Maverick always has the best time at All American Pet Resort of Fort Myers! He is obviously excited upon pulling into the parking lot and most recently didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. I love being able to watch him play with friends and seeing him having fun makes traveling so much less stressful. The little guy was wiped out when he got home which shows he played hard during his stay. Thank you for loving my little guy when we’re away!
This place is amazing and I totally trust them with our pooch. They are very on top of things and will text you with any information if they notice anything that might need attention. The facility is clean and the dogs seem to all be happy to be there. I love that the rooms come with camera's you can watch 24/7 and that our dog is always excited to go for playdates or long stays.
We board our dogs here all the time. They truly care about our pups. Only place I trust with them. You also get a nice report card at the end of the visit. highly recommend them to anyone who needs pet boarding.
Our 15 year old blind 4 lb pup did great at boarding because of the special attention Cheryl and her staff provided. I was worried because of her total blindness but Cheryl assured me they have blind dogs who are also deaf and it’s never a problem. Our 10 year old Maltese always loves daycare and both came back from boarding happy campers. Rest assured there’s nothing Cheryl can’t do to make your pets have a happy stay
I took my dog in for daycare yesterday. All went well as she socialized with the other dogs. I will be boarding her next week for about 3 weeks while I have surgery. My last dog was often boarded here without any issues. Cheryl & the staff are wonderful. Always upbeat. I feel my dog will have a good time there.
We have boarded our dog twice at this kennel within the past 2 months (and used them several times prior with no issues). In June 2024, he was vomiting blood immediately upon returning home which resulted in an emergency vet trip. Today, I picked him up after a 9 day stay, paid my bill and asked how did hid. Nothing was disclosed at pick up and I received no phone calls during the stay Within 20 minutes of getting home, blood dripping from his rear and uncontrollable bloody diarrhea. I phoned the kennel to inquire since nothing was disclosed to me at pick up. The staff who returned my voicemail denied any knowledge of blood in his kennel area prior to pick up but I was told I would get a call from the manager or owner. The manager or owner called my husband back, not me, and told him this is very common after baths and periods of stress and anxiety. Over the past 12 years I have used several boarding facilities for my dog and I have never received such little communication regarding my dog's status and potential health issues. I write this review to share with other pet owners who are considering entrusting their family pets at this facility. Update: The owner has been very responsive, kind and caring regarding the situation. She has had conversations with a local vet and sent information to me. I appreciate her attention put towards the matter and it is apparent that she truly cares about the animals.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! My 15 yr. Old diabetic toy fox terrier was happy and well-maintained there for 9 days. They took great care of her. She came home happy with her dog bed that didn't even have a scent of other dogs. All her belongings were returned clean. It was my first time ever boarding a dog on a recommendation and I couldn't be happier!! Thank you to the staff for caring!!
FINALLY I feel like I can leave my sweet boy and he will be loved and taken care of by Cheryl and her amazing crew! He has severe thunderstorm anxiety and they did everything they could to ensure his comfort and keep his stress level as low as possible while we were gone. He comes home from day care happy and tired (obviously, from playing so much). We are very happy with BBK!!🐶
Our two-year-old Jack a boxer, is a newbie at Bonita Boarding Kennel and boy, Does he love it 😍 today he tried to jump over the gate to get in when we entered lol!! what a great experience to take your beloved canine companion to a place where you know they love to go! So happy we found Bonita Boarding Kennel - Cheryl and her team are simply amazing!
If you want peace of mind when your dog is at daycare or boarding then choose BBK! My German Shepard attends daycare every Wednesday and boards there when we go out of town, and he absolutely LOVES it!! Wednesdays are apparently his favorite day of the week now. There’s nothing that makes our trips more enjoyable than knowing our dog is at his happy place! The staff is amazing!!
Awesome boarding! Super friendly staff. I highly recommend. My dog was so happy and they commented on how sweet he was. It was such a joy to hear for his first visit.
Nice facilities and they really take care of the dog. Outside area for them to play and socialize if friendly. Neighbors take their dogs there too for day camp.
Really excellent!!! I have taken my 6 year old poodle for grooming so many times, but I had never been satisfied (for different reasons) and for the first time I can say that both myself and my husband were 100% happy with the results in BBK! Faith was very diligent, she spent time listening to what I wanted (all from my mind because, of course, I forgot to bring a reference photo!), and she knew how to do it perfectly. My puppy came out calm, relaxed, unlike other places. Also, Faith detected a possible infection in the right ear and recommended taking him to the vet as soon as possible. Everything was very clean, not only in sight, but also smelling clean. I definitely recommend 100% Bonita Boarding Kennel...And especially Faith!
I boarded both of my labs for a long weekend. Dropped them off on Wednesday called on Thursday everything was fine they were eating and no issues. Came back to pick them up on Monday and was told my older lab who is almost 13 would not eat so they switched her food and she had diarrhea. She ended up being so sick it cost me almost $700 in veterinary bills. My vet could not believe they switched her food. They never reached out to me before making the change. No call, no text, no email, no communication whatsoever. My other lab came home with an eye infection which was even more cost in vet bills. Absolutely horrible experience, I would never trust Tiki Tails again & this was not the first time we have used them. I don’t know if they have new management or what but this was not handled appropriately at all. In response to Tiki Tails Response to me: you offered two days of boarding to resolve this. Why would we want to bring our dogs back to you so we can incur additional vet bills? No way! Also, you did not try to resolve this in additional emails. In fact, my last email was never acknowledged or responded too and that has been well over a week ago.
Our sweet Charlie loves going to Tiki Tails! They take such great care of him!
Had an awful interaction with the angry mess of an owner. She literally threw a fit in the waiting room. As an animal lover, I don't think any pet should be left alone with someone like that. Went to make a review to warn other pet owners, and was confused to see they have 4 stars as I've heard (and now seen) awful things about this place. Then, upon further inspection I see that every google review under 5 stars receives a personal attack. Seriously, go on google and look for yourself! No wonder people are scared to leave bad reviews! One review even begs the owner not to attack her online just for telling her story about her dog being mistreated. And yup, you guessed it, there was the owner throwing a tantrum down below. Owner threw her fit at me for being 5 minutes late to an appointment. (9:07 by the time she showed up.) I didn't speak but once to quietly apologize and try to leave, but she continued her angry rant. Gosh she was such a mess. I gave her time to call and apologize, as I was sure this wasn't normal behavior, but nope. If I receive an online attack trying to turn it on me, I will gladly voice what was said to me. I only spoke once to apologize for being late. How I was treated was NOT okay. Protect your pets!
Highly recommend Tiki Tails daycare and boarding. They have created a fun and safe place for dogs to play and socialize. Each of their associates is professional and caring. Can't say enough positive things about them!
We love Tiki Tales! Best in the business service! We know our pooch is loved and cared for as much or more than when he’s home.
Maggie Mae loves going to Tiki Tails to play! The staff is very interactive with the dogs and we always pick up a happy dog who I sometimes think she would rather stay and play longer! The staff is great! Groomers are very good!
After moving to SW Florida my Aussie was missing all his friends. We had lived in a townhome and he had LOTS of friends and now even though we had a great backyard, we felt he needed more. I had found out about Tiki from a friend. We finally got everything together and did Scooters interview. I am so glad we did. They suggested we do a few days in a row to get him used to it. The second day when we pulled onto the road and into the driveway he was so excited and couldn’t wait to get inside. He may not be ready to play with all the other dogs, but at least he isn’t resisting going and all staff has been amazing.
We love Tiki Tails!! We are new to the area and were looking for the right place for our dog as he is a bit shy and learning how to socialize and play. He absolutely LOVES Tiki Tails. As soon as we park he is so happy to be here which confirms that the staff is amazing, attentive, and caring. I love being able to watch him on IG stories! He loves going to play for the day and we've boarded him a few times as well. Each time he's been boarded the staff has been extremely communicative on how he's doing which gives us ease of mind! I can't say enough good things and we're excited for the new facility. Thank you Tiki Tails for always taking great care of Sunny!
I brought my dog for daycare three days in a row while in the area. She absolutely loved it! She was excited to go back - a clear sign to me the staff are not only loving and attentive but keep the group safe and controlled as well. As someone who has worked in the dog boarding/daycare industry for years, I am PARTICULAR and everything about Tiki Tails surpassed my expectations. The staff were welcoming and incredibly friendly (with people and pets!) and I was obsessed with watching my dog on their Instagram stories while she was there. Thank y'all very much for keeping my baby safe and happy, I would bring her back in a heartbeat - highly, highly recommend!
Tiki Tails was recommended to me by another client. I have to say I am more than pleased with the daycare and my golden, River, LOVES it! Without a doubt my favorite part is that they constantly post stories on their Instagram, so I get to see my boy playing and having a great time all day while I’m at work. The staff is super friendly and the rates are reasonable. I highly recommend Tiki Tails!
