I had my Siberian Husky Cola stay at Barkway Kennel’s for a 3 night stay and I was nothing but impressed with their professionalism and care for my dog. They are very friendly and go above and beyond for everyone’s pets needs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their furry one looked after.
Our dogs had never been at a boarding kennel before, and one of them has separation anxiety. Time was taken to become familiar with the dogs, and to allow the dogs to become familiar with the new environment. When we picked them up 2 days later, they were relaxed and clearly had been well cared for. We will be using Loyalist Barkway again, and have recommended it to friends.
We have felt safe leaving our pups at Loyalist Barkway. John and his team have done an excellent job keeping our anxious/reactive dog feel safe while trying to socialize our younger puppy. They have multiple options for privacy/social play and understand that not all dogs have the same temperament. We started with daycare, then overnights/weekends and most recently had our dogs stay for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. John is great about sending updates and pictures while we were away - we would highly recommend them!
Woof! As a furry guest at Loyalist Barkway Boarding Kennel, I had the most pawsome experience during my stay! From the moment I wagged my tail through the door, I knew this place was something special. First off, the facilities were absolutely dog-tastic! The kennels were spacious, cozy, and had all the comforts a dog could ask for. The staff made sure I had a soft bed to snuggle on, plenty of toys to play with, and even a separate area for my meals. The whole place was super clean, and I felt safe and secure in my own little den. But the best part of my stay was the amazing staff at Loyalist Barkway. They were dog lovers through and through! They greeted me with ear scratches, belly rubs, and lots of affection. I could tell they genuinely cared about my well-being and happiness. They made sure I had regular walks and playtime to burn off my energy, and they always had a smile on their faces when they interacted with me. It felt like a home away from home, surrounded by people who loved and understood dogs. The communication between the staff and my human was top-notch! It made my humans feel at ease, and I'm pretty sure it made them miss me a little less too. It was like having a little paw-some vacation while my humans were away. In conclusion, Loyalist Barkway Boarding Kennel is tail-waggingly amazing! From the fantastic facilities to the loving staff and great communication, it's the paw-fect place for a doggie vacation. I give it four paws up and would wag my tail all the way back for another stay!
Loyalist barkway boarding is one of the best that my dogs visited. Online booking was easy. I received some emails to explain the process of boarding. But the real experience was when I dropped off the dogs. I have to mention one of my dogs has huge anxiety separation issue. For a first time, they ensured they can handle him properly before our departure. I booked the special room. They noted all food intake. My dogs were well taking care. I would definitely go back there.
Great Boarding place for our 3 year Australian shepherd, very clear premises and they make sure all dogs of similar nature are together to ensure safety. Full recommend this place for your daycare and boarding needs.
Glad I found Loyalist Barkway! We will be going away for 2 weeks and needed a safe and fun place for our 2 dogs to stay. We did a trial day and my 2 dogs looked like they had a blast! John and his team helped answered my questions to reassure us about them staying there and said we can message to get picture updates of the dogs, which is awesome! They are given many outdoor play time throughout the day and get to interact and have fun with other dogs! It was also great that they were able to accommodate my 2 dog's boarding stay during the busy season of the winter break! It makes us feel at ease that my 2 dogs will be staying in the same doggy hotel room so they can keep each other comfortable during the stay.
John and his team took good care of our 2 dogs and one cat for 4 nights. Our dogs got to stay together in one room and our kitty got a private room. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly.
We couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience. Boarding your dog can be stressful- for you and for your dog - but John and the team went out of their way to make sure our pup was comfortable and they carefully managed his routine. Highly-recommended!
Wonderful spot to have our sweet maltipoo Biscuit stay. She was there for 4 days and had very comfortable “lodgings”. They take very good care of the pets and she even had a bath!!
Victoria is amazing! My partner and I booked her for private sessions at our place with our two dogs who have different issues involving reactivity to other dogs. She provided amazing training material and instruction for us, including 1-1 attention for the dogs, and real-world training (walking out in the world and practicing seeing other dogs and how to pass them, etc.). I can't speak to the group sessions, but highly recommend this biz/person for your dog training needs as she is extremely supportive, easy going, and knowledgeable.
We worked with Victoria over several months when we got our 3 year old hound rescue. Our dog was very anxious, frustrated, and leash reactive. Victoria immediately gave us strategies for helping with all three issues, and took a ton of time to help us understand our dog's body language and cues. She taught us to desensitize him to triggers and redirect his energy in more positive ways. We went from walks where everyone would come home frazzled to outings that are a lot of fun for all of us. We really appreciated that Victoria tailored her training program to meet our dog's individual needs. We'd highly recommend Victoria's services for anyone who's dealing with a challenging dog.
Shaggy Dog Pet Services (Victoria) is a miracle worker! Not only did they help with my dog’s reactivity, but I also learned so much about how to better train my dogs and build trust with them through positive reinforcement. I cannot believe the difference we are seeing in our pups after only a few sessions. Thank you Victoria for having such a significant positive impact on our dogs!
Victoria is a lifesaver. She swooped in and gave us the tools for our pup Saffron to learn to be a well behaved puppy. She helped us teach her to leave our cats alone, how to stop pulling on her leash (highly recommend her no pull harness), every basic tool you need to have a puppy you can live with. Will will definitely be booking more sessions with her as Saffron ages. If you are having troubles or just need to learn to give your dog it's best life with positive love based training Victoria is your trainer. Thank you so much.
Victoria is extremely knowledgeable about animal behaviours and psychology. She helps not only the animal but more importantly the owner understand their pets behaviours. To be honest, I feel 90% of the training is needed for the owners, not the pets! She understands both the pet and the owner and helps us to work together to help solve any behavioural or obedience issues you have. I highly recommend her services and would use her again without hesitation if I need to. Excellent trainer. Susie K.
We contacted Victoria from Shaggy Dog Training regarding behaviour modification to help deal with our dog’s anxiety. Victoria was wonderful to deal with and her techniques really work. I noticed a change after the very first session and things only improved from there. We are so much more aware of our dog’s body language and that alone has made a huge difference on how we interact with our dog. I would highly recommend Shaggy Dog Training for both behaviour modification and basic training.
We have been working with Victoria for about 6 weeks and have been very impressed by her and her training techniques. We did all the homework to prep the house for training and have "most" of the other things - but its a marathon not a spring. She is easy to spend time with, explains things well, and her methods are working very well. We know we aren't "done" yet - but have come further then I expected in a short amount of time. Thank you Victoria for your time and attention to making our "little" guy more enjoyable to walk!
We are long time dog owners but had never had a puppy before. Our other 3 dogs were all adopted as mature dogs. A Poodle puppy was a challenge and Victoria was amazing at helping us handle the task. Her training style with our pup was wonderful and Maggie loved the training sessions. Thank you very much Victoria for a job well done! We and Maggie appreciate your caring help. Ozzie, Val & Maggie
I have had the pleasure of working with Victoria for about a year now and I can confidently say she is one-of-a-kind in our community. I first reached out to her because my poor dog was struggling with dog-reactivity, noise sensitivity and separation anxiety. At that time, I thought I’d never see my dog relaxed and happy in a group situation or watch her play with another dog ever again. Victoria provided me with invaluable tools and knowledge and this has led to a much deeper understanding of my dog that will allow me to set her up for success for the rest of her life! It is thanks to Victoria that my girl is running and playing fear free and that is priceless.
We adopted a six year old pocket beagle, Penny, from a breeder. She came with severe separation anxiety. She was destructive when we went out and so we tried to crate her, but she got worse and soiled in her crate, and tore everything apart in there. We couldn't go out anywhere and were at the point of taking her back when we read Shaggy Dog's website. After three months, with Victoria, the change in our dog is like night and day - no more destruction or soiling. She is now a pleasure to have and there is no chance she will be taken back or rehomed because she is now the dog we wanted. Victoria has given us the tools to work with and we are now equipped to continue working with our little girl to increase the length of time we can leave her alone. Loved working with Victoria. We are seniors and Victoria was so patient with us, even when it came to finding our way around her zoom lessons. I have already recommended her to other dog owners and will definitely continue to do so whenever I see the need. Because of Victoria's training, we are on the move to have our life back again.
Dog Care Kingston is the best! Megan is truly one of a kind and her pack walks around Kingston were fabulous for my dog. Megan is very reliable, always happy and helpful with easing any worries. I had never really left my dog alone for extended periods of time during the day, nor did I have anyone walk him except for me. But everything went incredibly well and I think Darcy was more excited to see Megan for his daily pack walks than me.
Nothing but good things to say about this company and it’s owner Megan. She turkey cares for the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs safety. When she comes to pick up our dog he looks forward to seeing her ! Prices are reasonable.
Megan recently took care of my two bunnies and she did an amazing job. Not everyone knows how to care for bunnies so I was thrilled to find her. I can't wait for my next vacation now that I have her on speed dial. lol
The owner is awesome, but the dogs are better because I get to play with them in a field.
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
I have been bringing my dog since he was a puppy, and now he is 15 months old. He is always so happy to jump out the car and run over to greet Debbie. I have even boarded Walter when travelling over seas and overnight trips. The value for you money and peace of mind knowing your furry is safe, played with and taken cared for. No cages. Would highly recommend!
Great place for dogs to burn energy like a bunch of kids in a playground . My rosie gets so excited goin down driveway .
My dog Boomer loves it here. When I drop him off he can't wait to get out of the car. We have had bad experiences in the past at other doggie day care places, where our dog got sick with kennel cough and the fur was matted. Not here amazing care. Debbie and her partner treat every dog like they are theirs. Boomer loves them both. I have no hesitation in leaving our dog here for a day or overnight.
We’ve been boarding our two huskies Hugo and Harley at the Dog Pad & Paddle for two years now. Debbie, the owner is a gem, kind, communicative and most importantly wonderful with animals. We highly recommend the Dog Pad & Paddle to anyone looking for a safe and great environment for their pups while away.
My husband and I bring our dogs to Dog Pad and Paddle. Both of our labs have extreme separation anxiety and we are always so worried about leaving them. Our first time leaving them was back in November for a week. From the first time I met Debbie, I felt very comfortable. Our dogs love going to dog pad and paddle. They have been slowly easing out of their separation anxiety thanks to Dog Pad and Paddle. Plus they are always exhausted when we pick them up which is great too (as most dog parents to labs would understand lol) Also very reasonable pricing. 10/10 recommend!
My dog is here 3-4 days a week. She is so happy and well behaved. She is so excited when we pull in the driveway. This place is a godsend for keeping a healthy happy dog!
Usually have had no problems. I leave my here dog for the holidays because my parents dog doesn’t interact well with other dogs and they have a smaller house. Then we bring our dog along with us to my boyfriends so he can spend holidays with us rather than be caged up for 3 weeks. This was not an issue last year. This year however, it would be a bit of an understatement to say the owner wasn’t flexible with us. She was a bit rude with us as well. I called 2 weeks out and gave an ETA The day we were supposed to arrive we got stuck behind a semi collision for 6 hours. I called her at 2:00pm and told her we would be arriving at 10:00pm with the reason and she said “that’s so late” and tried to make us feel bad because she wanted to except business before her hours the following day “my next customer comes at 5:00am tomorrow…this stuff is hard” I wouldn’t disagree but her hours are posted as 6am-11pm. I was within those hours.
Willow's, 1-year-old Golden Retriever, first sleepover and it was great. I didn't worry, they sent pictures and updates on how she was doing and they were very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. Willow was burnt out from all the fun. The following day all she did was sleep. I will be using daycare and overnight services again. Great way the socialize a pup in a supervised environment.
This is the best place for any dog. My dog loves to run and play and at times just loaf. She gets all this at Dog and Paddle. The dogs have huge and safe areas to play in. My dog comes home tired and happy. Which makes me happy. Deb and Richard treat the dogs like their own. Deb and Richard are professional and kind. The best kind of people to take care of my precious cargo.
This is long overdue! I've been bringing my puppy Mac here since he was very little. He is pretty high energy and a little bit spoiled so he can be a handful. Debbie and Richard have been wonderful taking care of him for day visits as well as overnights. Mac knows when he is getting close to the resort and starts getting excited a few km before we even get to the driveway! He always comes home nice and tired and sleeps a lot after he comes home. Thank you Debbie and Richard! You have been wonderful for Mac and I and we are very grateful to have you.
Kristen, the owner is a fantastic person who invited us to take a tour of her dog lodge. The lodge is a super nice place for dogs, with multiple large areas for dogs to play and run around. Kristen has so much passion and knowledge about her job and has done an incredible job taking care of her business and every dog that she meets. I recommend Groovytown Dog Lodge to dog owners who are looking to keep their dog active, and who are comfortable with their dog meeting new dog friends!
Our dogs LOVE Groovytown! They go for a hike 5 days/week. They get picked up and dropped off and love the people. Kristen really cares about dogs and the property currently has 2 adventure parks! I highly recommend it for both boarding and just a fun way to get your dog some exercise when you're at work.
I don't think Pickles has ever gotten so much energy out in one day. He definitely enjoyed his first day in doggy daycare as when we arrived, he hadn't noticed us at the front, but his tail was wagging walking around with the other dogs. It was also a hot day today but from the fact he only took a small drink of water when we got home, he was surely well hydrated as just playing in the back yard he finishes the bowl of water when he comes back in. He came back dirty but I didnt expect any less as he probably was having the time of his life.
Groovytown is absolutely amazing! Kristen is a phenomenal business owner and we know our dog Marlo is in great hands when he is there. The entire staff is wonderful with dogs...especially our overly playful, dog-bed-chewing pup. Would recommend in a heart beat!!
We have tried several dog walking, daycare and boarding services in Kingston. We have an Australian Cattle Dog and they need a lot of exercise and can struggle with separation (if you know, you know)! Things we love about Groovytown: - Flexible hours. They have flexible drop off and pick up times. - Daycare timings. Groovytown is one of the few places that offers 12hr days! There aren’t many places that offer this kind of full coverage for those with different schedules. - Facilities. The indoor accommodations are warm, clean, and well maintained. The outdoor area is a puppy playground of outdoor exploration! The acreage is a stunning place for dogs to explore on their own and play with each other on supervised playtimes. There are also snacks available! - Playtime. With a full energy dog, I get a tired puppy at the end of the day, knowing he’s been playing for 8hrs outside, making friends and romping around all day! - Socialization. With all the various dog types, sizes, ages, and personalities this is the perfect environment to help build confident and well mannered dogs. We noticed improved socialization with our dog at the park and in walks after spending time with Groovytown. - Staff. We love having a single point of contact for all things booking, check-ins and scheduling issues. We also love seeing our puppy on our preferred social media platform which allows us to see our guy playing with his friends! We never have to worry about where our puppy will stay when we’re away! We love Groovytown almost as much as our dog. We are always comfortable knowing that our dog is in good hands and paws.
Our dog hikes twice a week at Groovytown and we also board her there when we travel. She loves the hikes, they are great exercise and social time for her, and great for us as she returns a tired and happy dog. She is just as happy when shes boarding there, and Kristen and her team post lots of photos and videos of the dogs staying at the lodge playing and hiking, so I can check in on her and see her having fun during her stay. Kristen and the whole team have been really great with Izzy, and last time I went to pick her up from boarding she didn't want to leave! Highly recommend both hikes and boarding.
Groovytown is the best! My dog Marlo loves going for his day hikes and overnight stays when needed. Marlo goes crazy as soon as he hears the doggy van pull down our street. All staff are amazing, I've never had to worry knowing my boy is in their caring hands. I have a very anxious pup but he never has anxiety going to Groovytown, just pure excitement. Plus, the pick up and drop offs right from your home is so convenient when working full time. You will not regret sending your dogs to Groovytown!! Great, safe, loving place for your best furry friends! Cant rave enough about it!!
Our Newf loves it being at Grooveytown for boarding. Can’t wait to get out of car to join the fun. Staff are awesome! She goes there frequently for boarding. Always drags me off my feet (almost) to get in. Last visit when I was putting her in the car she made a break for it and ran and tried to get back into the lodge. She loves it there and the staff are so good telling me about how her stay went.
Kristen has a wonderful service to offer the area. My puppy is a bit on the energetic side and the way she has the off leash hikes set up is incredible he was so tired when we got him back he went right to sleep. She was also so accommodating to my schedule as I had waited to the last minute and booked him in on a Thursday and needed to drop him off on the Saturday which happened to be my wedding day. Tucker will absolutely be coming back for more hikes with Kristen!
We've sent our dog to Groovytown Dog Lodge on many occasions and he always has a great time. We love that he is not crated all day long and gets lots of exercise. We have also done day hikes which he really enjoys. We notice a big difference in his energy level when we get home from work on the days he has been for a hike. Kristen has been excellent to work with and responds quickly to any questions. My only complaint is that our dog gets very dirty when he's there, and although they dry him off with a towel when he gets home, he's often still quite dirty and smelly when we get home. Our dog has a terrible habit of rolling in smelly things so this may not be an issue for all dogs.
Shannon and Pet Parade Plus is a fantastic service. We’ve used them for yard clean up, cat and dog sitting and litter box clean up. Always reliable and fast communication. Easy to work with and highly recommend in the Kingston area.
Shannon at Pet Parade Plus is a gift. I left my 6-month old kitten Bobby home for a week for the first time and was very nervous. Bobby is loving, playful and very cuddly - I was afraid he would be lonely. This was not the case - Shannon visited Bobby twice a day and sent me the sweetest photos and detailed updates each time to ease my mind. Shannon went above and beyond - bringing a radio and new toys for Bobby to engage with. I am new to having a cat as a pet, and Shannon really supported Bobby and I through this first pet sitting experience. I would engage Shannon's services again in a heartbeat and highly suggest you do the same! You will not be disappointed.
Always an extremely positive experience! I have to travel for work on occasion and get quite anxious leaving my cat Bruce by himself, but I feel a comfort knowing he’s in good hands with Shannon. I feel she really cares about him and takes the time to get to know his personality and what he likes. The visit updates are my favourite and I’m always very excited to see his photo and read about how he is doing! I will continue to use pet parade plus for as long as Bruce and I live in Kingston :)
The service offered by the team here is amazing. The services are always very organized, and both the management and staff are great to work with. The daily photos and updates on how the walking/visit went always leaves me at ease knowing my puppy is in great hands. Couldn’t be happier with the services.
I was so nervous about leaving our cats for three weeks. There was no need as Shannon did an amazing job taking care of my girls! I looked forward to receiving the photos and updates everyday. Will definitely use Pet Parade Plus again when care is needed for the cats.
I have used Pet Parade Plus on several occasions for my 7 year old Border Collie Beagle mixed dog. Most times I require them on very short notice and they have been very accommodating. I have always been happy with their attention to my wishes and they are always on time and messaged me to let me know if it was a good visit. My dog can be a handful. The first time Shannon sat my dog when she arrived my dog had got in the fridge. I was out of town and she called me immediately and then cleaned up all the mess and secured my dog out of my kitchen so he could not get in again. Our dog is protective of our home so I was concerned how he would react. Shannon came a visited him a few times while we were home so he would know her as a friend. We have another busy hockey season coming up. I am so happy I have someone I trust to take care of my dog and secure my house so I can now travel away to my sons games instead of staying home. Pet Parades prices are very affordable. I highly recommend them for your pet sitting and walking needs.
Shannon and her team have watched over our cats on several occasions and offered us peace of mind while away. They made themselves available even during the busiest times (e.g., over the Christmas holidays) to ensure our pets received quality care. They send pictures on the wellness of our cats and provide status updates following visits. We find their visits to be good value and taking in the mail is a bonus. We would highly recommend Pet Parade Plus to anyone requiring pet care service -- they offer more than just pet care as well!
We have been clients for almost a year and have been extremely impressed with the services provided by Shannon and her team. Our main walker is Raychel and she takes very good care of our dog, Billy. They recently switched to a new app, which includes the visit time, route, pee/poop, pictures and additional comments. We always look forward to getting our visit reports. Their rates are reasonable. Keep in mind that they are very busy so try to book in early. Thank you Shannon and Raychel!
We love this service! Shannon is prompt, professional and reliable. Her care of our dogs while we were on vacation (several times) has been perfect. She kept in close contact with us so I never felt concerned for our dogs' care. I especially love the photos from their walks. Those touchpoints show how sensitive Shannon is to pet owners' concerns. Scheduling and billing is also simple and professional. I highly recommend.
Shannon is a wonderful pet sitter. She's been looking after my pets for over 10 years (dog & cats) and they LOVE her. My pets have from time to time needed medication or special care and their care has been exemplary. She has also done home check visits when I'm away - these are necessary to meet my insurance requirements. Any problems she's discovered while I'm away have been communicated to me immediately, so I can get them addressed. I appreciate that she gives back to the community with her support of local pet charities.
Our little Abbey has been coming to Our Dog Spot for about 5 years now. When we tell her that she is going to see Colleen and Dale, her ears perk up and she knows she is going to see her other four legged friends. When we take Abbey to Our Dog Spot we have piece of mind as Colleen is the greatest caregiver. We don't mind driving the extra miles to the new "Spot" up the river because it is just the best B&B in the area! Highly recommended!
What can I say about the lovely Colleen and Mr. Kingsley? The warmth and love that my dog Charlie Anne received when vacationing at Our Dog Spot is second to only our own home. The facility is spotless, inviting, dog friendly and welcoming. The window seats are perfect for those canines that like to watch out for their owners. The yard area is a dog oasis. This is the spot to leave your dog...they may not want to come home.
We have been so impressed with Colleen's loving care for our dog. It's reassuring to know that Sadie is in good hands when we're away. Her facilities, experience and knowledge of dogs makes this a fabulous home away from home for Sadie.
Colleen, who owns Our Dog Spot, is the best person to look after 'Ellie' and 'Cal'. She truly understands and loves dogs and she runs a first class establishment. I highly recommend her B&B for dogs.
I highly recommend Our Dog Spot. We have taken our dog, Lemmy, there on two separate occasions while we went on vacation. We have been very happy with the service, and Colleen is a pleasure to deal with.
Great place to bring your family pet. Colleen is very knowledgeable about your furry family member. Richard
Our dog loves going here! It is her home away from home. Highly recommended.
This is such a wonderful spot. Our dog has been a customer for over 9 years now and they are fantastic people.
Our dog Otter loves to visit Our Dog Spot
Our 2 labs, Teagan and Luna, stayed at Groovytown for 4 nights. They were happy and tired when we picked them up, which is good. Kristen is great and was very prompt/informative answering all our “first time parent” questions. Highly recommend their services.
Our introductory visit and hike was great. I was greatly impressed by the facility, with its knowledgeable owner, Kirsten, and the attention to security and safety.. Freyja and I have tried everything on offer at Groovytown. She is currently enjoying weekly hikes and will soon be boarding with Groovytown. Good communication and dedicated staff.
My dog has anxiety and trouble with other dogs at times, but he has now stayed overnight and done day hikes with Groovytown. The team is great with him, ensuring he feels comfortable and building confidence with the other dogs. I appreciate how accommodating Kristen has been with my crazy schedule and I couldn't recommend them enough!
Thanks for a service that's on time and has the flexibility to meet our needs, with consistently "6 star" level care and consideration for our dog. Imagine the best care and pleasant experiences you'd want for your dog, and you're part way to what you'll get from Groovytown hikes. We're so happy you are there for us, Kristin (and team!). Warm regards, James and Laurel
Love Groovytown. Since we have found Groovytown, we no longer have to decide between owning dogs or going on trips. So convenient and easy, and our dogs love going to Groovytown.
I have been bringing my dog for daycare weekly for about a year and have boarded him a couple of times. He LOVES it!!!! The people there are great!
When the van pulls up to pick up Lilly..her excitment begins , i am fully confident with her being in their care.She has amazing afternoon and i in return get a tired content and sometimes dirty pup..and thats perfect!
Ella our “Woodle” is very excited when we pull up to Groovytown. We chose this facility for daycare days so she could run freely in the woods with other dogs; as she once did on our country property and to keep her socialized . Kristen and her staff are very experienced ! They Love all their guests and offer top notch service. We have also used them for boarding . We know Ella has had a great day when she is filthy upon pickup. Book your complimentary walk to determine if it’s for you and your dog, it’s worth it . Thank you Groovytown!
Our dog loves going here he jumps out of the car and runs to the kennel! Best care ever!
I can't recommend Groovytown enough for their excellent dog boarding service! Maverick, my furry friend, has been in their care several times, and each experience has been fantastic. The staff is not only professional but also genuinely caring and attentive to Maverick's needs. The facility is clean, spacious, and filled with positive energy. I appreciate the regular updates they provide, including photos and notes about Maverick's activities. It's clear that they go above and beyond to ensure dogs like Maverick feel happy and loved during their stay. I have complete peace of mind when Maverick is at Groovytown, knowing he's in capable and caring hands. Five stars without a doubt! McKenzie
Cannot speak highly enough of Sydney! Our dogs adore her, and so do we! Kennels aren't the best environment for our reactive dogs, so being able to stay with them in our home, in their happy place, is very comforting for us, and for them! Highly recommend her!
Sydney watched our 3 dogs for a couple nights and we were so pleased. She’s lovely and took great care of them. She stayed at our house which we found extremely convenient and much less stressful for us as well as the dogs. We can’t say enough positive things about Sydney’s services and would highly recommend her to others.
Pawesome sitters is for lack of a better word, AWESOME. Sydney loves animals and that is very apparent. Our animals love having her around and knowing that someone like Sydney is looking after them gives you that piece of mind when you are away. We will always use Pawesome sitters from now on when we travel.
By far the best dog boarding service I’ve ever used. I have an anxious dog who has never enjoyed being boarded but now at the mention of “day care” sprints to the door and excitedly waits to leave. She’s always tuckered out and happy when I pick her up too. They’re incredibly attentive to individual needs, communicate responsively and openly, and spend a lot of time with each dog to make sure their physical and mental needs are met. Could not recommend this place more!
I highly recommend this dog daycare! It’s in a great location, extremely clean, and Will is super friendly. Our 6-month-old puppy had a blast, she came back home relaxed and happy. Plus, the turf is excellent for warding off ticks and dirt. When we got home, her paws were even cleaner than when I dropped her off.
We had a GREAT experience boarding our dog with Collar Crew for 4 days. Will was super friendly, accommodating and very caring with our little guy. We were able to get regular updates when checking in (along with photos of our dog playing). Facility is very conveniently located, super clean and maintained. It was an extremely safe & caring environment and we are so happy that we found such a wonderful boarding option for our special little Havanese. Pricing is very reasonable. If you are reading this and thinking about boarding your dog, don’t hesitate to give them a try! You’ll be very happy you did! Thank you Will & Team!! Looking forward to the next time!
The Collaw Crew provided exceptional care for our three goldendoodles during our overnight trip to Kingston. The facility was clean, the rates were affordable, and our dogs had a blast playing in the pool with the other pups. We'll definitely be returning this summer when we visit PEC. Highly recommended for pet owners seeking reliable and enjoyable accommodations for their furry friends.
Just picked up our 2 year old GSD after a 9 night stay at the Collar Crew and couldn't be happier. Billy was in good spirits after getting home and seems like he was well cared for. After previous trips to other kennels he had seemed depressed for a few days after getting home. I like the fact that this is a smaller kennel and there is more time to invest care into each individual dog. Additionally, I like that they have a 'turf' outdoor space to reduce ticks and a large indoor play area for inclement weather. We had received updates while away from Will on Billy's status which went a long way. I noticed in the updates that Will was playing fetch with Billy instead of just letting him sit in his kennel or the yard. Further to the care that Billy had received, we also received excellent client service from Will. Overall we are very pleased and look forward to boarding with the Collar Crew in the future.
When you pick your pupper up after daycare and he is hungry, tired and happy you know he’s been at the right place! We were working in Kingston for two weeks and Benjamin needed some canine interaction. The Collar Crew was there to help us all out. Thanks guys!
I can’t say enough about how great The Collar Crew are. We were nervous to leave out puppy for the first time but it is clear she had a fantastic stay and was well cared for. This will definitely be Frankie’s new vacation home!
I have had my dog to The Collar Crew for both doggie daycare, and overnight stays - and I would highly recommend using this business! Will is a great guy, and the dogs all seem to love him. Spectacularly clean facilities, Will replied quickly to my check in on my dog while I was away (and sent me pictures). Feel confident you dog is in good hands here!
My two dogs had there first stay with collar crew. My two pups stayed for 5 nights. If you want you dogs to be well looked after this is the place to go. They have wonderful sized kennels and a big play area. It's located on a farm. Very well organized. I highly recommend dropping your dogs off. They board dogs, they have day care. Whatever you need and very accommodating.
Highly recommend this facility for your boarding needs! They've got spacious individual kennels, a nice open play room for the pups and a well kept yard for them to run around in. All that would make me give this 5 stars alone. But where this place really shines is with the owner, Will. This man cares about his job of taking care of your pet family. He was so kind and helpful, went well above and beyond for my dog when he had issues, and made us feel confident and completely at ease with the care of our dog. Cannot recommend this facility more highly for your next boarding need! 10/10. Will, you're awesome and I cannot thank you enough, but I hope this helps more people find your wonderful business! Thanks again
Happy paws is an incredible place!!!! Kelly is so amazing very kind and friendly! Our golden pup Winston seemed to have an awesome time and was tuckered out when we brought him home! Definitely recommend to board or day care. Prices are great and pick up drop off time are fantastic.
Its really hard now a days to find a place where you can leave your animals and trust that they will be safe. After reviewing a ton of kennels, we finally came across Happy Paws. What a blessing. Amazing staff and they more than treat the animals with love and compassion. My 7 year old boxer Stella loves coming and staying here! I drive 2 and a half hours just to drop my stella off here when i go anywhere for longer periods of time. I have a lot more positive things to say but this is a review not an essay haha! Anyways.. my wife and I love this place and will continue to bring stella here. 1000% recommend Happy Paws to anyone looking for animal care :)
Best place to bring your dog! Our pup has a blast every time he goes to Happy Paws. He loves playing with the other dogs, getting to meet new people and animals, the yards are large and spacious and give this golden lots of room to run. My dog has more energy than average, and he can just run for hours. Kelly spends all hours of the day tending to these needs, making sure their dietary needs are met and can even do grooming. Kennels are a thing of the past, ensure your pet has the best experience by putting them in the Happy Paws Hotel. The rooms are spacious and monitored (check out that race car bed our boy got!) and Kelly is happy to provide updates throughout your dogs stay. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, your dog will receive the ultimate care here, play hard, be spoiled, and have fun. There’s no where else I’ll leave my dog now.
Communication with Kelly and staff has been great! My dog seems to really enjoy his stay. The kennel itself is quite nice and the yard is enough to really burn some energy for all dog sizes. One thing I've really noticed is the watchful supervision of the staff during my drops/pickups. I recommend Happy Paws to my friends 👍 Thank-you Kelly
Happy Paws is a very special place. Our Bichon just loves to spend time with Kelly and staff. Our dogs are well cared for and Kelly posts daily photos of our happy pups. Love taking our dog to Happy Paws.
Amazing place to bring your dog! My dog always has so much fun. Kelly the owner takes such good care of the dogs, you can tell they very much care about the dogs. Best place i’ve ever brought my dog, I highly recommend bringing your dog here!
Great place to bring your fur babies! Kelly is attentive and loving to your pups needs and personality. We were not comfortable leaving our rescues for doggie daycare or kennel services until we found Happy Paws. Facilities are kept clean and the set up is wonderful with an indoor play area in case of inclement weather or outside heat, or if a doggo just wants to relax on a cool floor. Kelly will give you updates in the day on how your pupper is doing, which I really appreciate.
Had my dog boarded here for a little over a week while we went away on a trip.. would absolutely recommend Happy Paws to anyone! You can tell they get a lot of love and attention here. I love how they post lots of pictures and send updates! Will definitely use Happy Paws again! :)
Had both my dogs picked up for doggy daycare today and it was fantastic! Pick up and drop off were on time and super easy, the boys both had baths and cleaned as well so they smelled nice when they got home. They came home all happy and tuckered out! Will definitely use Happy Paws again❤️ And highly recommend!!
It is a pretty good place for large dogs. It looked a bit crowded on our last visit with not much control going on. We had a chance too look around at the play areas, and sleeping quarters. The owner is very nice and accommodating. But as we have smaller dogs , we feel at this time it wouldn't be a good fit for them. We wish them luck.
