Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
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!
We were absolutely blown away by the entire experience boarding with Wilkes wags and wiggles!! We were in town due to hurricane and the owner Amanda was so kind and helpful to us! We’ve boarded many places previously but never experienced this level of hospitality and professionalism. It was so nice to see pictures of our dogs everyday having fun , and eased our minds while we were away. We would absolutely love to board here again in the future! There’s only an option for 5 stars but I would give 10 stars 🌟 wilkesboro is so lucky to have such an incredible caring team at Wilkes wags and wiggles! Thank you so much!!! Madison , michael, Malia, aura & astral
This is the first time leaving our fur baby overnight. We went out of the country and his stay was going to be long. (12 nights) I was so worried how he would do but Amanda and her staff took such wonderful care of our boy! Every single day they posted so many pictures and it eased my mind and made me smile to see how happy our O’Malley was during his stay! He has made so many new fur friends and I know he won’t mind going back in the future! I highly recommend Wilkes Wags and Wiggles for boarding or daycare needs! They love your fur babies just as much as you do!❤️
A blessing to find!! We recently have a new puppy in the house. Both my boyfriend and I work full time, so having a doggy daycare in Wilkes is perfect for our pup! He goes and gets all his energy out while we are working and have a tired pup when we pick him up! She is so sweet to him and he loves going to see Ms. Amanda!! ♥️ always clean and organized!
If I could give WWW more than five stars I would. WWW staff has been so good to my sweet boy. Before we even get parked Boomer is wanting to jump out of the car because he is so excited. WWW and their staff communicate with pictures throughout the day and I think that is one of my favorite things about them. I am able to see how much fun my boy is having. We love WWW!!!
Great 1st experience boarding our 3 dogs here! Extremely good care, shared photos several times a day to keep me posted on them!Staff played and petted them often, Facility was very clean with separate areas for play outdoors! Will definitely use again and highly recommend for anyone who is nervous about boarding!
I STRONGLY recommend them! My senior dog had a stroke earlier in the year, and even though she has fully recovered she needs 24-hour supervision and has a lot of medication to take. Amanda was awesome, she constantly posted pics of Katy in her app and kept a detailed log of what medications were given, by whom, and when. It was amazing to be able to keep up with Katy to that degree! And it relieved a LOT of stress while we were gone. She also makes a point to keep senior dogs separate from the younger and more active dogs, so Katy only spent time with other dogs that were on her level.
Excellent! Our two bulldogs stayed with Wilkes Wags and Wiggles. They accommodated our reactive female with no issues as they will keep them separate from other dogs at all times so I didn’t worry a bit. The facility is super clean, no dog smell at all. Also, the runs they stay overnight in are clean and roomy. The best part for me as the pet parent are the picture updates I received (via the app) very often throughout their stay. The app is super user friendly. I felt that Amanda cared very much for our pups and remembered even the little details about their personalities that we shared with her prior to our visit. We will DEFINITELY use Wilkes Wags and Wiggles again!
We recently acquired two puppies and finding this hidden gem has been so wonderful. Adley and Gunnar (any Orioles fans?) have been to daycare 3 times now and absolutely love it. They make the process very easy for us humans, and provide a safe, fun, loving environment for the pups to play. We always get tons of pictures, and they always come home exhausted. Everyone's happy!!
10/10 would recommend! They allowed us to drop our dogs for the day, accommodating for a non-usual day care day so we could take our young family on an adventure while we were in town at the local campground. Very friendly, Reasonably priced, seamless pickup and drop off, easy to make reservations through the app, sent multiple photos, and our dogs seemed to have a great time! Thank you for the hospitality!!
Toby had an awesome stay while we were away! Amanda realized that he would benefit from one on one companion care and upgraded him immediately without charge. We received photos daily throughout his visit to document his activities. I feel like they truly care about these little babies and take care of them like they are their own. I highly recommend them if you want a worry free stay. Toby will definitely be back when we need them!
This was the best pet sitting experience I have ever had. From our first communication to the last visit, absolutely amazing. Thank you for caring for my Penny girl and treating her like your own. She still looks around for Decker in the front yard! Great Dog Days will be my first call from now on for any pet care needs.
Our experience with Great Dog Days was simply AMAZING! 🤩 We were traveling from out of town and needed a dog sitter for the daytime. The communication in advance and during our visit was everything we needed to feel comfortable leaving our dog Winnie with Lesley. Winnie was definitely well taken care of and seemed to have really made friends with the other dog. The photos and communications throughout the day also helped us know Winnie was safe and in caring hands. I would absolutely give more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely hire Great Dog Days again during future trips!!
Lesley was wonderful very caring such a sweet lady, She sent pictures and kept me updated , Chino had a wonderful time with her and decker. We will be bringing Chino to her every time we're away! 💗 …
Lesley has been coming to my place to walk my two little dogs (8 & 13 lbs) for a few months. We just moved here from California and I didn't know how I'd manage. I am so happy I found her! They love her, she takes pics and sends them to me, and texts me a daily report. She is a natural and a genuine dog person. Always reliable and responsive, warm and professional. We are very lucky to have her! She even made me this little picture today and texted it to me while I was at work!
We are so grateful for Leslie and Great Dog Days. Our Lucy was taken care of wonderfully. She has severe separation anxiety so finding a place that would give her the environment she needs was so important and Leslie did just that. Lots of toys, companionship, snuggles, and walks. She sent us photos and videos of Lucy throughout the day so we wouldn't worry. Leslie was very thorough and professional - getting health info etc, but was also friendly and easy to work with. Thank you!
Thank you so much for being so kind to Jager and doing exactly what you said you would do, for coming when you said you would come let him out and for spending some time with him. Leslie was a Godsend to us. We interviewed her and she did a meet and greet with our dog first and we found her to be charming. Our dog loved her immediately. She was very accommodating. We had to be out of town 12 hours a day every day for over a week. We are retired so Jager really needed her loving visits. Each day she sent us a photo and a video of him every time she came by to let him out which was awesome and gave us much needed peace of mind that he was okay. We highly recommend Great Dog Days and Leslie to anyone who wants to rest in complete confidence that their dog is being very well cared for. We certainly plan to use her again.
Lesley was SO great to work with! She was attentive with any questions we had and gave us several reports at how our pup was doing while we were away! She was incredibly friendly and our dog always had someone to play with. He was exhausted for days when we brought him back home! I highly recommend her service and we'll be sure to work with her in the future when we're away!
Great service for my pup. Lesley is easy to reach and wonderfully organized with her business's schedule. I loved the picture updates I got on their walks. And my dog had such a great time with her. Lesley was totally open to changing around her schedule to help me out one day, too. 11/10 would recommend!
While I am a dog sitter myself I have never used Lesley’s services. I have referred many of my own clients to her for different reasons. I have always received glowing comments about how Lesley takes care of her clients and especially how she takes care of the pets she has been put in charge of. We got to know each other working the same area and she is always happy and appreciative in doing what she does. It’s so obvious that she loves animals, understands them and like myself loves the therapy that being a pet sitter provides. “I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LESLEY AND GREAT DOG DAYS!”
Lesley was very professional, amazing and always friendly! She has the highest level of care and passion for all animals and is very trustworthy from my experience. Lesley will go the extra mile to accommodate her customer’s needs and is very dependable. I highly recommend her (Great Dog days) for your pet needs.
Five stars is not enough for Blue Ridge Boarding! They deserve so much more! Our fur babies are loved and cared for beyond anything we could imagine. We are so thankful for the excellent care, extreme cleanliness, and expert knowledge of animals and how to meet their individual needs. The pictures and videos they send to you are reassurance that your babies will be loved. We used them while my husband had surgery and just the relief of knowing they were loved allowed us to focus on healing and getting over surgery. Teri & Karl are wonderful and we are blessed to have them in our area. We love them and call them friends!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience with Susie Q. Susie is a very energetic 1 year old golden doodle, and I was afraid I was going to get a call telling me to come get her before she tore the place down. Instead, I got texts and photos every day of how much fun she was having. Blue Ridge Boarding is a class act from beginning to end. I knew Susie was safe and loved. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Boarding to anyone wanting their pup to be taken care of by someone who will treat them as if they are their own. Susie Q has found her home away from home. Five stars isn’t enough!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! We left our dogs there for an extended weekend and it was the best experience! We received daily pictures and updates on our pups and they were always happy and playing! We have never boarded our dogs before, and we will definitely be bringing them back for our next out of town trip! I could tell they were comfortable and very well cared for. Thank you Teri, from the bottom of our hearts, for caring for our pups so well🤍
Blue Ridge had my two babies during Christmas week. The were treated so well that they had to say goodbye! Blue Ridge is our go to now and we are so thankful!
Highly Recommend!!! This was our first experience boarding a dog in over 20 years and we were a little nervous but after doing a visit to Blue Ridge Boarding and talking to Teri, we felt more comfortable. We just had our pup there for two weeks and Teri was absolutely amazing! We got daily updates and pictures; we felt that our puppy got so much attention and affection we didn’t worry at all! She was very happy staying there, we weren’t sure she wanted to come back home! We highly recommend Blue Ridge Boarding! We already have two more stays planned for our pup and we will not be worried at all! We know our puppy will be excited to go and very well cared for!
I was apprehensive about leaving my yellow lab, Jordan while my family & I went on vacation. Blue Ridge Boarding was recommended on Facebook. The wonderful reviews plus location in comparison to my house sold me. It was the best decision for my dog. Teri was so sweet to her and kept me updated on Jordan with photos and videos. Would definitely recommend to other and will be using Blue Ridge Boarding again!!
We were so thankful to find out about Blue Ridge Boarding. We recently boarded our dogs there for a week and we were so very pleased. Teri loved them like her own. The daily updates, pictures and videos were great! Our dogs came home happy and that made us happy. We look forward to boarding with them again and are scheduled to board three more times already! Thank you, Blue Ridge Boarding for your attention to detail and the love you pour into what you do!
I have never used a boarding facility with Millie Joe, my little yorkie because I honestly didn’t trust anyone. I was always blessed with family who would care for her/watch her. With family, we could never travel together because of this, and we wanted to take the kids on a cruise. I was worried sick with who I would find to watch her. I found blue ridge boarding facility through work/friends, and I could not have been more impressed with Teri and her husband. They have a great set up, very clean, and safe. Super nice honestly!! They took care of Millie as if she was their own fur child. I could not say enough great things about our experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing doggie boarding. I will definitely feel much better now knowing that we have someone who can care for her while traveling. If you want to travel and feel comfortable knowing your fur child is in the best hands, choose Teri @blue ridge boarding llc. You will not be disappointed or regret it. I appreciate everything including the updates each morning and throughout the day, the pics, and the Facebook post. I could rest assure that Millie was happy and doing well with her. Not only is Teri an amazing lady, so kind, she also has so much experience with dogs. This made me feel completely comfortable because I knew that if something did happen, she would have the knowledge to get Millie the care she needed. I was so worried before talking to her and she answered so many questions, gave me so much reassurance, and helped me feel better the entire process. Teri didn’t make me feel like the crazy dog mom that I can be sometimes, and made my feelings/concerns valid. I felt like family and was treated even better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will definitely choose blue ridge boarding from now on. ❤️
We were so thankful that we found Blue Ridge Boarding! They took excellent care of our 2 doggies while we were on vacation! Teri sent us daily updates with pictures and videos so that we would not be worried about them while we were away. Safety is a top priority and she has taken every precaution to make sure that they stay safe and happy while they are in her care! She has a wonderful area for them to stay and a great space outside for them to play! We will choose Blue Ridge Boarding from now on to take care of our babies when we are on vacation because I know they will be in great hands!
I recently had the pleasure of boarding my dogs at Blue Ridge Boarding and I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional care they received. From the moment we arrived, the staff's dedication to the well-being of the animals was evident. The facility was spotless and well-organized, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt at home. They took the time to get to know each dog’s unique needs and preferences, which made a significant difference in their comfort and happiness. Regular updates and photos reassured me that my pets were not only being well cared for but were also enjoying their stay. The personalized attention they provided was outstanding. My dogs received ample exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, and it was clear they were treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Overall, Blue Ridge Boarding offers a level of care that surpasses expectations. I returned to find my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly having had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this kennel to any pet owner looking for a top-notch boarding experience.
I had to leave my American bully King with Monica while I went outta town for a family emergency, Monica kept me updated on king, also sent me pictures and she treating him as her own and was so wonderful with him, this is the only place my baby king would ever stay, she absolutely loves what she does.
I left my dog with her while I went out of town on vacation last year and I will leave him again this year. Very professional and will continue to have my business for all of my family vacations. Looking for a great place to keep your dog while you are away look no further. This business deserves 10 stars.
I typically travel with my dogs but this time they couldn’t come along for the adventure. Lucky dogs kept them safe while we were away. Would recommend.
Monica is friendly and knowledgeable. She had a wonderful setup for boarding.
Doggo seems happy and well taken care of. We'll be back
Our dog loves this place and they treat her so well.
Great owner. Love what she has going on with this business
Excellent service, great prices and a wonderful, caring owner.
Absolutely no one else will ever keep my babies!!
Awesome pet sitters.
Woofpack is our go-to dog training service. Melissa has been very helpful in assisting us to help our energetic chocolate lab to become a sweet, well behaved dog. Our dog is going through the process of becoming a certified therapy dog. When we adopted a new dog, Melissa was very helpful with some new training challenges before we were able to get our puppy into training. We were also very pleased with boarding services. Our dogs were treated like royalty and had a fabulous time.
Melissa and her team are amazing in all that they do, I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’ve done several training classes with her, enrolled my pup in daycare, and been able to board him several times with peace of mind that he’s being treated as well as if he were home with me. He loves daycare days and always comes home tired and happy. Great customer service, caring and attentive staff, and a clean and safe facility. 10/10, this business is a true gem.
Wolfpack and Melissa have been extremely helpful with my fearful dog. He had his puppy training, day care, overnight care and most recently one on one help to deal with issues. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more caring knowledgeable place.
My dog, Missy, and cat, Sunny, both stayed at Woof Pack for a week while we were on vacation. Usually we take Missy with us and someone cares for Sunny while we're away, but we were unable to do that this time. We decided on Woof Pack after getting glowing references from several people. This place is like a luxury hotel for your pets! Individual rooms for your dog and individual multi level "condos" for your cat. There's tv for them as well as music. They have generous outdoor space as well. Missy is very scared of thunder and a storm occurred during her stay. Melissa (the owner) stayed up with her til 2am to calm and reassure her! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen elsewhere. This will be our go to from now on when we can't take our pets with us. I like knowing someone else will put that much effort into their well being.
Melissa Helms of Woof Pack Pet Services is like the dog whisperer of Boone, NC. Her place is the nicest dog boarding facility I've ever seen, and Melissa's passion for her dogs and her work shines through the moment you meet her. I highly recommend Woof Pack for dog boarding, and I recommend their dog training classes as well.
I love my dog and he goes pretty much everywhere with me, including work (he’s the greeter). Sometimes though, my wife and I take a trip and have to leave him behind for one reason or another. Woof Pack is the only boarding facility we’d leave him with and I have 100% confidence in their service and professionalism. This place has high demand (because they are so good) so planning and booking well ahead of time is advised.
Having moved to Boone 6 years ago, I was relived to find Woofpack and now consider it part of our family. My two dogs are excited to arrive and come home relaxed and happy after spending time with the kind, caring, professional staff. What a gift to our community and to my family!
Woof Pack offers a great variety of classes, from obedience to sport to overcoming fearfulness, and the class sizes are always small enough that everyone gets personal attention and can participate fully. Melissa's varied experience with training "typically-abled" dogs and "differently-abled" dogs (her personal pack includes several visually and/or aurally impaired dogs) means she can suggest training options for any dog of any background. We've completed three sets of classes with our pup and can't wait to do more; my parents have worked with Melissa in private sessions to address the reactivity and behavioral issues of their latest rescue, a German Shepherd dog, and the progress they've made with Melissa's assistance is remarkable. I highly recommend Woof Pack for anyone and any dog!
Very unprofessional. When we were finally able to get a hold of the owner, she said she was busy and would call us back that Sunday. It has been two weeks and messages left with no return phone calls. We needed help with our beloved dog and was looking forward to working with someone with her listed creditials but she only returned our call once just to say she would call back and never did. Not a way to run a business.
Woof Pack is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dogs. My dogs are my babies and even though I hate to leave them at all, I can, knowing they are completely well taken care of.
Haven't used another sitter in years! Dogwood Critter Care is the best. Eli and Bruce are phenomenal care takers. And judging by the photos they send, my fur babies love them too! Tons of different pet sitting services offered and they send updates WITH photos. Seriously the best pet sitting business in the high country. They have truly stepped up when so many boarding facilities and individuals have failed us. ♥️🐾
Dogwood critter care walked the dog on time, and I think the dog likes Eli more than me. He can be persnickety and headstrong, but they handled him with professionalism and care. Also very reasonable rates for the time they spend with your pet, worth it to keep a stubborn dog from making a mess while you're at work. They're flexible and well staffed too, and can work around your schedule.
Knowing that your pets are being cared for while traveling is incredibly comforting. Eli and Bruce went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with them and then bring calming energy to our gaggle of cats. Their love for animals is obvious with each interaction that they have. Bruce actually pet one of our semi feral cat; his fist time being pet by anyone other than my husband and I. If you are a pet owner you will not go wrong entrusting Dogwood Critter Care with your animals.
Fantastic company with very sweet owners. Their compassion for animals was evident in our meet and greet. Not everyone is comfortable working with exotic animals (I have a small parrot). Dogwood Critter Care made me feel completely at ease leaving my bird at home while traveling abroad. I received daily updates, including pictures and video of Apollo enjoying his visit! Have already recommended them to friends in the community, and am looking forward to using them again in the future!
I have used Dogwood Critter Care several times to care for my two cats while traveling. They are the absolute BEST pet sitters and they have made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving my sweet beans in their care. They always send detailed updates with photos for every visit and actually spend time loving on my kitties so they are happy to see us when we get home! I couldn't recommend this company and their services more.
My wife and I turn to no one else other than Eli and Bruce at Dogwood Critter Care (DCC) for worry-free pet-sitting. Whether watching our labs (3) for a single day or a week or more, DCC is 100% reliable and trustworthy. They follow instructions, and their daily, detailed updates (including pixs) are greatly appreciated. Our four-legged kids believe Eli and Bruce are part of their human family, and that's the way it should be with house- and pet sitters. We highly recommend Dogwood Critter Care!
We couldn’t say enough good things about Eli! She took such wonderful care of our two babies while we were out of town. She respected our home and went above and beyond for us. She even went as far as to salt our sidewalks and even helped us turn off water when our pipes froze up. She was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about animals. She was even prepared for my big husky and his silly behaviors. We highly recommend Eli for your pet sitting needs. Boarding my boys was always very stressful and really hard on my husky. I had such peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands at home, stress free! We Will definitely be using her services again in the future!
The Pet Care by Eli team is amazing! We have used their services since January throughout the week while we are at work for our Golden pup, Walter. He is now almost 11 months. They are all so caring and loving toward Walter. They have listened to our needs and work with us to make sure Walter is well taken care of, and have always been flexible if our schedule changes last minute. I never worry about Walter throughout the day because I know he is in good hands. I receive updates after every visit with their comments and feedback, notifications of all the activities (potty, treats, feedings, etc), and pictures! Anyone that has ever known us even a little, understands we are very picky about the care for our pets. It is very apparent this team loves animals and understands how to care for them. Highly recommend!!!
Eli was absolutely incredible! She is so great with animals and treated our Boxer like her own. Not only did she continuously communicate with us and keep us updated, she rearranged her schedule last minute to accommodate our schedule changes. Thank you so much for everything: the new game ideas, beautiful pictures, professionalism, tips and new friendship to our girl. She also works off an app which is super easy and user friendly that makes everything so easy for planning purposes, invoices, and forms.
We trusted Pet Care by Eli right away! We had piece of mind with our 3 girls in their care and are so grateful for the thoroughness, care, experience and professionalism provided. One of our girls had surgery 2 weeks prior but we trusted she would continue healing in their care. We are so grateful!
My pups have loved spending time with Jessica at Happy Paws. I recently moved back to the area, and needed to find a good doggy day care. My pups are rescues with a history some anxiety at times. Jessica has been wonderful about making them feel understood & comfortable. I can see how happy they are when they realize we are back at Happy Paws to play. It’s invaluable to have such a great place for my fur babies.
I travel a lot with my dogs so I always have to find a good place for them to stay while I do my own thing. Happy Paws is the perfect place to keep your loved pets if you want them enjoy your vacation as much as you do, if not more! They are very reasonably priced and they work hard to make your dogs enjoy their stay. I always hate boarding dogs at kennels that charge extra for more play time but Happy Paws seems to make sure that your dogs get plenty of exercise with other dogs. The owners are very friendly and they do a great job of accommodating to your dogs' needs. I picked up my puppies in the morning, and they were already wiped out from running around before I came over. That's the way it should be! They even told me the issues that may have occurred (my dogs are friendly but one of mine tend to try to show dominance once in a while and they told me about those times. It wasn't a major problem but it's nice to know the owners are honest about that) As long as your pups are friendly and good with playing, then you need to check out this place. The owners treat your pups as if they are one of their own, and you can't ask for better than that. If you are in the area and need want your fur kids to have an awesome vacation while you're away, definitely check this place out. One of the best boarding experiences I've ever had. Thank you!
I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica and Dustin and their loving care they give to the dogs. I had a special one, fearful of people , never boarded except at a womans house who could no longer handle his energy due to her age. Jessica worked very, very, very hard with my guy and now he even gives her a kiss!!! Her kennel/home is very clean with lots of room for the dogs to play. She goes the extra mile to protect all the dogs, and is sure they are compatible before allowing them out to run and play. I am eternally grateful that she took my guy on and now if I need to leave town I know he will be happy. It's just he and I and I want him to be well cared for. She takes care of the dogs as if they were her own. I believe her background in wildlife rehabilitation helps her really understand them. Your simply the best!!!!!
We used Happy Paws to board our dogs for almost a week when we got married and are so glad we did! We have two dogs and they were able to be boarded together with some home comforts such as toys that we bought! Our dogs were in such good hands, and we received daily updates! That was such a nice extra that helped this boarding facility stand out among the rest! Happy Paws will be our go to boarding from now on! Not mention both dogs came home smelling great from the bath at the end of the week! Our pug and corgi gave their stay 4 paws up!!
I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with. Dustin and Jessie are big animal lovers to not just their own dogs but other dogs well. My dogs had a great visit at Happy Paws and I will not hesitate to take them back next time I’m out of town. I highly recommend the Happy Paws Dog Den. They will love your babies just as you do!
Happy Paws is a great place to board dogs! Our two anxious dogs love it there. Jessica really understands dog behavior and how to make every dog feel welcome and comfortable. We have used many dog boarding facilities and Happy Paws is the best.
Highly recommend this dog care facility for that other member of family. We have kept our dog with them for many months. We have seen wonderful improvement in our dog socially as the owners carefully match dog personalities, and work with each one's situation. Jessie, the co-owner with her husband Dustin have recently gone to great lengths to expand their facility while raising the bar of care for all the dogs that stay with them. Between them they have many years of dog care service, in both a veterinarian and short/long term dog stay care facility. Give them a shot with your pet...you won't be sorry.
We really prefer to take our guys along but sometimesthat just can't be done. This past weekend we attended an out of state wedding and left our dogs with Jess and Dustin. I never worried about their care, got regular updates and came back to happy dogs! Happy paws dog den is perfect with spacious clean facility, kennels like mini bedrooms, big hilly yard (just what they are used to) and lots of features to keep our guys safe and happy. We will definitely use them again.
Our dogs loved staying with Jessica during an extended stay. Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog who has special needs. She helped our shy dog socialize with the other dogs too. We loved the updates and communication. Thank you Jessica!
We had a wonderful experience with Happy Paws. Our dog is a senior lady Bassett Hound with medical needs. Jessie and Dustin were very accommodating to her needs. We were able to take a worry free vacation as they updated us daily with texts and pictures. We highly recommend Happy Paws!!!!
The staff at Fetching Ridge consistently goes above and beyond for my sweet golden retriever pup, Louie, and I. One of the trainers, Emma, is so kind, gentle and caring that Louie practically leaps out his harness every time he sees her! The pictures and report cards are such a sweet touch and I know we are always in good hands for daycare and boarding.
Do not put your pets in these peoples hands! This business does its best to remove negative reviews to paint a better picture that what actually occurs. They will claim you’re not in their system to deflect any negativity rather than holding their team accountable. My German Shepherd has GI issues which she takes medicine for and I left her at this facility for a week while I was out of town. I provided the proper amount of food as instructed for the duration I’d be gone. When I returned, my pup was underweight and looked like she had not been cared for in the slightest. Along with her belongings were several unused bags of her food which goes to show they don’t follow any personalized instructions you give them should your pup need it. You’ve been warned.
I bring my dogs here to get their toenails trimmed regularly. The staff are very friendly and use an easy manner when dealing with my one dog who hates her nails done. They understand she is upset and talk to her and get things done without any issues. Great Job Ladies!
This place Is absolutely ridiculous. They waited til the day before boarding to tell us our vaccination proof was not sufficient that it needed to have a due date for the next one on the form. Keep in mind this came from a vets office and then they took our money and refused to refund it due to them waiting until the day before boarding to tell us this. Would not recommend to anyone. Stay far away And this is an update since they responded and tried to make it out fault. We did not cancel they waited until 4pm on a Friday to tell us the day before we were supposed to drop our puppy off. And then after we call trying to get verification on what we needed we receive a text telling us THEY are canceling our reservation after we called the vet after hours and got what they needed
My dog loves coming to Fetching Ridge! The staff really get to know your dog, their quirks and preferences, and all of their needs. I always feel good about leaving my pup in their hands when I go out of town, and the staff is so accommodating and willing to work with me when unexpected things arise.
They were super-sweet to our dog Ben on his first day of day care at this establishment, and everyone working there was kind, energetic, and enthusiastic. I'm sure we will be back often.
I've been taking my dog there for a year or so now and he loves it (and me too)! Everytime he realizes where we are going he gets super excited and never gets tired of it.The employees are so loving towards him and friendly to me as well! A great way to make sure that he gets the energy out that he needs and the socialization he loves even when our work schedules get hectic. They even have an app where they tag your pet in photos and it's great to see everytime.
We loved Fetching Ridge when they did grooming. We are dog-less right now, but will certainly use them should we need boarding! The staff was always attentive, caring, and professional.
The staff was easy to work with, communicated with us while we were gone, our puppies were all clean when we picked them up. Job well done Fetching Ridge!
I love this place! I’ve boarded my dog Milo here a couple times and they always take wonderful care of him and send me pictures! My dog enjoys the times he’s boarded here and always come back to me happy and healthy! I highly recommend this business for anyone wanting to board their pet at a trustworthy, high quality place!
I’ve been taking my fur babies to Sarah and Mary Ellyn for years and they have always been so kind and are great at what they do. I’ve used them for boarding and grooming and have always had a great experience. I highly recommend them!
I have used this kennel for several years and I have meant to do a review for quite a while. I love this kennel. They do a great job of keeping my babies and grooming them also. I am extremely picky of where I keep my babies and I would put Man’s Best Friend at the top of the list of the kennels I have used in this area.
Would give 0 stars if it was an option, I used to live in elkin, recently moved, when we took our dog there, she would come back skittish and would get very very sick, a friend of mine said she walked into the business and the man that runs it threw a poodle against a wall cause it was “being mean”, something needs to be done about this business, terrible people
She did a wonderful job with my fur baby. Very pleased! This is the second time we took our fur babies here. Still very please! They did a wonderful job & were very patient with our"grumpy old man" (Max). Thank y'all! 😁 …
It’s hard to find someone who cares for your pets the way that Mary Ellen & her team do. They are truly treated as if they were their own! I think this speaks as to why her volume is at a place where she cannot take on new pets - This is not a bad problem to have & speaks to how much people trust her with their pets and value her services! Thank you for always taking the best care of Chloe, Harley & Kimber! ☺️
Love that place. They do such a good job with my dog Bentley. He always looks so good. I wouldn't take him anywhere else
I called and the costumer service was terrible. She was very rude and I ask if they were taking any appointments for dog grooming and she said they were not taking any appointments. After asking that, I then asked if they were taking any new costumers in the future she then proceeded to smart off and say “well there are three different groomers in town if you need one.”
Took my dog here while my family and I were out of town for a few days and he had a great experience. Got a bath and nails trimmed as well! The staff is very professional and courteous. Will be taking him back next vacation!
My mom brings her cat here every month for grooming and after each appointment she has nothing but positive things to say about the quality, services, and reliability Man's Best Friend provides. Thanks for taking care of my Mom and Her Best Friend.
We have been taking our 2yr...old dog 🐕 here! Mary Ellen is so good with him! He loves it when we say he is going to go get his toe nails done! Very good friendly place!! Wouldn't go no where else …
A hound dog, 2 Boxers, Cane Corso and Frenchton....Lora has cared for 15 years worth of dogs for us. Highly recommend, your baby will be in great hands.
I have always been hesitant to board our Molli, but she LOVES Lora and the team at Pet Prairie. The photos we receive of her show a dog with an actual smile on her sweet face. She has a great time and doesn’t even seem to miss us. Highly recommend!
We feel so fortunate that we found Lora and Pet Prairie! Our two papillons love staying with Lora and we feel comfortable going out of the country for extended trips knowing they will be treated with love and kindness by true dog lovers. She will treat your dog the same as if it was one of her own pets. You will be very happy with your dog’s reaction if you board at Pet Prairie!
My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety so I was a little nervous about having to board him. A friend recommended Pet Prairie and after meeting with Lora I felt very comfortable with our dog staying there. He did fine. She sent pictures of him to ease my worry. I knew he was in good hands and didn’t worry. Lora is very knowledgeable about dogs and very compassionate. I’m very thankful to Lora and her staff for taking such good care of him. Our dog has found his new “home away from home.”
We would absolutely recommend anyone to use Pet Prairie for their Dogs! Our two dogs Love to stay here. We can leave them here and not worry about them at all. They are in good hands and just make them selves at home!
We highly recommend Pet Prairie! Our two Golden boys love it there. They care for them so well that we call it a visit to the doggie spa. The staff really goes above and beyond. We drive 40 minutes to this place and it’s worth every penny! Thanks for taking care of our good boys!
Lora and her staff are super! We always have a great experience leaving our golden-doodle in their care. He is so excited when we drop him off. The well stocked store with healthy, quality provisions is so convenient. Love the bath and Professional blowout as well! Thank you for providing our family with the peace of mind that Huk is happy and well cared for!
I highly recommend Pet Prairie/Lora. I'm a dog trainer, so I'm pretty picky about who I trust with my Lab and German Shepherd. I have no question that the well being of the dogs in her care is her top priority. When my shepherd got an upset stomach during her first stay, she went above and beyond to make her special meals to help her feel better. We love Pet Prairie!
The best place you could possibly leave your dog! Lori learns about each dog personally and is so Knowledgeable of dogs. I am picky about where I leave my standard poodle and I can always trust Pet Prairie to provide excellent care. Buffy had rather stay there than to come home😊
We like to call it Summer Camp for our pup who runs right in without even looking back. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable... true animal lovers... sometimes we feel our pup would rather stay at the Pet Prairie than come home! Absolutely the best place for your pet!
