Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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, $11/week 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!
Our dog received excellent care the week he spent at Pet Getaway. He loves water so they brought in a pool for him to play in. Their level of care far exceeded my expectations. We highly recommend them.
I have never boarded my German Shepherd before and was extremely nervous about it. Rachel was wonderful with him. I felt very safe in leaving him in her care. I have boarded him twice now with her and highly recommend this service.
Rachel is so sweet and good with the dogs, she has a big play yard with toys and separate sleeping kennels. My dog loves her so much she doesn't even cry when I'm saying see you in a week. Wonderful!
We loved Pet Getaway Daycare! They took excellent care of our two dogs for the day. Such a joy to work with! Our pups returned happy and tired (just what we were looking for)! I couldn't recommend Pet Getaway Daycare more.
We got in on short notice and we were very pleased with the care our Bella was given. Nice atmosphere and clean facility. I would recommend them to anyone! !
Very nice facility and loved my dogs care for the week she stayed here.
Rachel takes good care of our baby Bell while we are away!!
Ms. Rachel is awesome with our dog Shasta.
thank you!
Absolutely the best groomer! I gave specific instructions as to how I want my ALD groomed and Rebecca followed to perfection. I am so very pleased!! Thank you!
THE BEST! Our two english bulldogs LOVED their time at Ruff Dogs. The owners are wonderful and have a fantastic business. Facility is very Clean, owners are so kind and you can see all the dogs having so much fun! Our dogs pouted when they had to go home. We requested a bath before we picked them up and WOW they were so clean and smelled amazing! We can't wait to go back, dont wait- book your pets stay here today! Thank you for having a wonderful dog boarding, daycare and grooming business in South Fork
Highly recommend Ruff Dogs. My spaniel was nervous when dropping her off for boarding but was able to come out of her shell and hangout with all the dogs! Always pleasant talking with them either on the phone or drop off or pick up. Thank you, Rebecca and staff.
Highly recommend. I could tell my dog enjoyed his overnight stay and daycare. I made a last-minute reservation before a holiday and they were very patient. I suggest having all veterinary records and pet information available in a digital format (PDF to send via email) the first time making a reservation, which will help things going smoothly.
Our first time staying in South Fork when snow skiing. We usually stay in Pagosa but decided to try something different. Thankful Ruff dogs was open. Had a great experience with them. Super friendly and on time in the mornings. (Unlike other places we used) 😉. Enjoyed talking to them and LOVEd how they used social media to post the dogs thru-out their day there. It was like leaving our baby with family. They really love the dogs. Very clean and most definitely would take our Lucy there again!!!
My dog Ace had a great time staying here for 5 nights. I was worried because he hadn’t stayed in a kennel or boarding place for almost 5 years! He’s a spoiled couch dog….but when I picked him up he was happy, clean (he got a bath and nails clipped before pick-up), and overall seemed super excited but not stressed at all! He got to spend his days playing with other dogs, inside and outside in the snow! They took great care of him and made sure he took his vitamins and responded to my email midweek when I checked in on him. They are responsive and overall the whole experience was great! I’ll certainly be taking him here again when I come in town and spend my days up at Wolf Creek! 10/10 would recommend!
We have a 2-yr-old cattle dog pit mix and a 4-month-old cattle dog shepherd mix. We took them here for a one night boarding stay to acclimate the puppy to boarding and daycare. They loved it. Even the older dog (who is high anxiety and scared of new people and places) warmed up quickly and had fun - I don’t think he wanted to leave :) The facility is great, and the owners are very friendly and great with the dogs.
Our family loves everything about Ruff Dogs! We have a groom-requiring breed and Rebecca is so great with our dog who is slow-to-warm. Our pup also attends daycare up to three times a week where Steve is so good with our floof and spends time with each of the dogs there. Steve is a dedicated trainer and Rebecca knows the business inside and out. We are very thankful to have them and Ruff Dogs in South Fork!
This was our shy border collie Seek’s first daycare experience, and she clearly had a blast and was thrilled to come back the second time! Very friendly staff that took amazing care of Seek and won her over right away even though she usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers.
My pug had a great stay at Ruff Dogs. I picked him up for a walk during his stay and he was excited to get back to Ruff Dogs. I felt good about leaving my dog with Steve & Rebecca and will book again when I’m in the area.
Poor Customer Service and Communication. Received a call from Alpha Dog Care's owner 4 days before start of overnight boarding reservation that our dog was no longer welcome at facility. This is after our dog had been at Alpha Dog Care on three separate occasions and no issues ever reported to me at time of pick ups. In addition, a staff member commented how much she loved our dog. Last minute cancellation on part of the owner caused my family to have to cancel a weekend getaway due to being unable to scramble for plan b pet care.
I recommend the multitude of Rovers or the other dog boarding facility (Wag-n-tails) over Alpha Dog. They are much better at communication, less expensive, more flexible and way friendlier.
Took great care of our somewhat nervous pup. She ate all her food and had no readjustment issues. We cannot thank you all enough! Great facilities, ability to go outside and stay inside, and also allows the pups to play but gets set break times in the day!
The staff here was really great! We called to see if they could take our two dogs for the day so we could get out and do a days hike without them. When we dropped them off I let the staff know that one of the dogs was not very socialized with other dogs and asked them if she could be kenneled away form the other dogs. They put both of our dogs in a separate part of the kennel where they could run and play and visit with the other dogs through the fence. When we went to pick them up they were happy and well exercised. We will definitely use Alpha Dog Care the next time we are in the Salida area.
Such a fun environment for your fellow fur friends. The owner is incredibly down to earth, sweet family guy who is ready to have a great day with your pup. Definitely recommend this place for day stay or overnight, you can rest assured that you dog is in fabulous hands!
Excellent clean spacious facility with friendly staff. Options for every pup to go outside as frequently as they like. Great location too by the brewery. Our 2 large dogs had a positive experience while we rafted the Arkansas river. 5 stars!
This is the best dog daycare I have ever brought my dog to. It is so clean and spacious. I have absolutely zero worries about taking my dog here. Dane is fantastic and great to work with a check in and check out.
I am so grateful that this facility exists! I was passing through Buena Vista, CO to visit some family on my way to Oregon for a cross-country move. Alpha Dog was in a perfect location. They were thorough in their information and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my doggos for a couple of nights. It gave my boys a great chance to expend some energy, make new doggy friends, and be in a safe and friendly environment. Thank you for a great experience, Alpha Dog Daycare!!!
We opted to try Alpha Dog rather than leave our 7 month old pup in his crate at the hotel while we hit the slopes. We're so glad we did too! Our little dude had a blast! And, the guy (I assume the owner) was so sweet when we picked him up. He told us how our pup did and even mentioned that he kept jumping in his lab to cuddle when the owner would sit down. Our pup is like our baby so it made us feel so great that someone was showing him attention in addition to all the other super sweet pups he got to play with. We will definitely take advantage of Alpha Dog the next time we head to Monarch to ski!
We had a great first experience here. Jackson was super friendly and as far as we can tell, our dog had an epic time here playing with all of the other pups. We’ll definitely be using Alpha as our go-to for boarding.
