Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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 $ per visit, $10/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!
Erin is extremely knowledgeable and dependable!!! She treats every pet like they’re her own, she loves on my dogs as if they’re her dogs!! I highly recommend SPS to anyone who wants that close-to-home feel with your pets.
I’m very pleased to have found Sunshine Pet Services! Erin’s professionalism and communication immediately put me at ease. Erin is very thorough and it’s evident that she has my pet’s best interest in mind. She’s always seeking to ensure he is happy and safe. I really appreciate Erin’s text message updates and pictures each visit as they help remove the stress and worry that comes from leaving pets behind. After returning, I can tell from my cat’s demeanor that he has been well taken care of and given a good amount of attention. Without a doubt, I will continue using Erin’s services for future trips, thanks Erin!!
Erin did an absolutely incredible job taking care of our bunny and cat, as well as our yard! We appreciate her attention to detail, enthusiasm to care for our fur babies, and daily communication updates while we were away. Erin is responsible, dependable, and went above and beyond caring for both our pets and home. We had such a relaxing vacation knowing our girls were in such good hands. We look forward to seeing you again soon, Erin! Thank you!
I've worked with Sunshine twice and have been incredibly pleased both times. Erin is kind and thorough and sends the best detailed updates about her drop ins with my pets (cats, chickens, and fish) and plants. She's flexible and accommodating and it's clear how much she cares about and loves what she does. I'm so glad to have found Erin and her business!
We had Erin take care of our cat (drop-in visits) while we were on vacation. We were immediately impressed with Erin's professionalism and diligence in getting everything set up, learning about our cat, and ensuring a successful pet sitting experience via a questionnaire. Erin took great care of our cat and provided very thorough text updates and pictures while we were on vacation. We would recommend this service to anyone, and the best part is it all took part in our pet's home! Erin, thank you for your service, we will absolutely be back and book with you again!
Erin is AMAZING! Where do I begin?! Erin has been dog sitting my dog Maggie for a couple months now. Erin is very professional, punctual, and most importantly she is great with communication. Erin has very reasonable pricing for her hard work ethic. She is most concerned for the pet's well being. I'm so happy to trust Erin with my fur baby and with my apartment. My husband and I both work full time jobs so Erin eases our anxieties of having to leave our dog alone for too many hours. Erin is very flexible and has always been able to meet our needs and my pet's needs. I would definitely recommend Erin to any pet owner. Thank you Erin for all you do! I'm happy to continue having you care for my fur baby! ❤
I haven't used Sunshine Pet Services... yet... I had planned to and will but wanted to give Erin 5 stars so far because of her impeccable customer service so far: my x-mas plans fell through so I decided- why not? let's head to Vegas! Completely last minute but had to make sure my guys were all set so contacted Erin to see if she was available to come over and feed them while I was away. Unfortunately I've had a medical issue that I was ignoring prove to not want to be ignored and I need to stay close to home but she was Very responsive and understood that my plans were coming together fast with planning a last minute trip and did everything she could to accommodate me. We didn't actually meet but that she responded to Every email immediately as I was trying to set things up was very helpful and that is really a good sign for me that she is the one that When I do get to go on vacation, she will be the one I will trust to take care of my dear ones. Also- I don't know who designed her website but it is fabulous! Very clear- very comprehensive. Thanks Erin!
Erin is the best pet sitter we could ever ask for. She is dependable and takes great care of our kitties. Receiving a thorough and individualized text each day with photos of our babes provided us with a peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend Erin more!
I am beyond pleased that I found Erin and Sunshine Pet Services! Erin's calm and friendly demeanor eased my anxieties of leaving my cherished pet with someone new. I have never seen Jade "play" with another dog before. However, after just a few minutes at Erin's place, Jade was playing tug of war with her dog Audrey. Erin sent me frequent updates and pictures depicting how Jade's stay was going, which were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for quality, reliable and friendly pet services. Thank you Erin for taking such good care of Jade this past weekend! Her nail trim looks beautiful too!
Erin is awesome! She is hard working, professional and skilled at what she does. I feel very fortunate to have found her and recommend her to anyone looking for services for their pets.
My dog had an appointment in the afternoon. Was told to drop off in the morning. My dog was there all day. Came home with fleas and her haircut could be compared to a home groom. Dogs were everywhere when I dropped off and it seems like the boarding clients and the grooming clients were intermingled. Will not go back. The price is enticing, but at what cost?
Shelly and her team are fabulous. They are kind and take excellent care of my dog. They go above and beyond (like when my dog Houdini’d her way out of my yard and they let me know)! - I am happy to have them in our community!
Great place! I really trust them with our dogs. I continue to board our dogs there because I couldn’t find a place in Salem I really felt comfortable with. Our dogs are a handful to deal with at times and they always do a great job!
Wow, what kind service.!!! Definitely will be looking forward to coming back here.!!! She took care of both of my Shih Tzu’s, they were very relaxed with her also.!!!
I have taken my dog to Shaggy Dog Inc. for boarding over several years. I trust Shelly and her staff. I know Mae especially likes Michael. My dog always comes back happy. Thank you so much Shelly. I so appreciate all you do to provide great care for our dogs.
I moved here from out of state so my normal boarding places for my dogs weren’t an option when we needed to board our two dogs for 2 weeks. The reviews were great here and the people seemed nice enough. I got my dogs back after the 2 weeks and one of them had a raging UTI which I found out after she had accidents in the house, and the other is now afraid of her crate (she used to love her crate and went in it on her own frequently) and refuses to go into it now. I have no idea what happened at this facility or how on earth this could have even happened, but I’ve never gotten my dogs back from boarding with issues like this before. I even paid extra for them to have more outside time. 2 stars because they kept my dogs alive and mostly healthy, so I’m thankful for that at least.
Great place! They are friendly and have great prices. We brought our cat to be boarded for a few hours while we had a home inspection. We will be back!
Took my dog there for a nail trimming and they weren't sure if she needed a muzzle or not so I went in with her. Everything was great. The people who worked there were really nice. Good experience
Took my dog to 2 other people to get his nails trimmed and they couldn't do it due to him not allowing it. Was recommended to go here and they were able to get it done. Took him straight in, clipped them, and we were on our way. Will definitely be coming back to them for all his and my other dogs nails!
Our dog Tuck loves to go there for daycare. Shelly the owner is so sweet and so is everyone else there. They’ve bent over backwards to accommodate us and even raised their fence for my escape artist. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. We love you all at the shaggy dog ❤️ Tuck especially loves Michael.
Genuinely terrible experience. My mother went in with our dog (husky) on Saturday and had a great experience. He went through his boarding like a breeze and it took only 15 min for them to tell her yes! Looked like a great experience and she loved the place. Sounded like reservations were made and everything. Fast forward to today, I am the son and I was not there for the boarding. This blonde lady at the counter started asking me questions like as if we are going through another boarding. I did not know the answers because I wasn't the dogs primary care taker. She said there was no reservation, he has no records that he had been there and asked me if I knew if I was at the right place. She said "I don't feel comfortable taking him not knowing this information". All it took was a call to my mom... I felt completely judged based off of the experience and she asked me if I had anywhere else to take him... And no I did not. I have a cruise that I've spent thousands of dollars on and this is what's going to hold me up from going! Additionally, don't require someone to make your dog take a shot when you don't already have a booking available. We've spent too much money just for him to get boarded here with unnecessary shots that nobody else needed. Don't ever treat a customer like this again!
I left my dog for four days at the dog bark. I was very nervous about leaving her, not knowing how she would do. But with the cameras, I was able to check on her several times a day and saw she was doing fine. The staff are great with all the interaction and care they give to the dogs, they do an amazing job. I will definitely be using them again. Now I think my dog will be bored after seeing all they do lol. I will definitely take her once in a while for the interaction and socialization. I would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby.
Our dogs love to visit The Dog Bark! Thanks for always taking such great care of our furry family members and making us feel welcome and at home whenever we drop by.
Last month we needed to visit our family in the Midwest for a couple of weeks. We chose The Dog Bark for our older dog Dulci to stay at because we wanted him to enjoy playing with other dogs so he didn’t worry about us not being around as much and so he had a good experience while we were away. Our dog has a lot of anxiety, and while he’s great with other dogs he can be moody with people. The staff at The Dog Bark did an amazing job working with him, accepting him and providing him with a great experience! I loved the doggy cams; when we were waiting for our flights we would log into what we called “Dulci TV”and it was great to be able to see our dog and see he was having a great time! I loved the friendliness of the staff and that they allowed me to bring him specialized meals and supplements. I was very happy when they emailed me when we were gone to let me know Dulci was doing well. The staff also worked hard to try to find a kennel for Dulci to stay in every night as I was worried about him not doing well in a crate as he is not crate trained. Overall, I highly recommend The Dog Bark to anyone, especially if your dog has anxiety, your dog will be in great hands!!
The Dog Bark was recommended to us by our local dog park community. We left our 8 month old husky girl for 8 days while we attended a wedding in O’ahu. This was the first time we have ever used a dog boarding service and the first time I have left my dog. I am a stay at home mom so I am with her 24/7. I loved that I could watch her from the cameras, I even called in to check up on her and the staff was very kind and let me know how she was doing. We go on several out of state trips and will be coming back to The Dog Bark. The only cons were that we missed out fur baby. ☺️
This facility is clean and has enthusiastic and helpful employees. You need to book far enough ahead of time to get a dog evaluation and a short daycare stay too see if your dogs are friendly.
My pup LOVES it here and so do we. We were having issues at home because we can't entertain our hyper girl 24 hours a day and she has so much energy that needs to get out. So Dog Bark is the perfect solution with very reasonable prices. Our girl gets so much play time with her friends she is exhausted and happy when she gets home. She is much more behaved even on days she doesn't go. I also love their cameras. We can check in on her and see her at anytime. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Edit: We have been part of the Dog Bark family for over a year now. Shannon and her team and just simply amazing. My girl is well taken care of and there is NEVER a worry in my mind when she is there.
I started bringing my dog here around may of ‘23. I really wanted to like this place as I need someone I can trust to take my pet. I brought my pet there many times but would look at the camera and there would be SO many dogs that they could hardly move around. My first thought was “oh those poor workers” and my 2nd was “what if a dog fight broke out”. This place doesn’t seem to cap the number of dogs they accept. My dog came home stressed and vocalizing when I saw her. Each time we went back she cried. We stopped going about a year ago and have found a daycare that has smaller sizes and more interactive play. They also don’t “punish” my dog with water if she jumps. There are many other places in Salem.
It has been a year now since my dogs have come here. Owner and staffs have provided fantastic care for my dogs whether it’s for daycare or boarding. We even boarded our dogs for 2 weeks straight once with no worries and came home to tired but satisfyingly happy dogs. Everytime I drop my husky off for daycare in the mornings he cannot wait to get inside and play. Everyone here is easy to work with, customer and dog friendly. I would recommend this facility for anyone who loves their pets and need someone to care for them when they are at work or away.
Love to take my dogs here. Staff is so nice and knows them as soon as we walk in. My pup with separation anxiety makes a big fuss whenever I drop him off but when I watch the stream I can see he's having fun. Much better than leaving him alone at home wondering if he's okay
Very caring kennel, makes it easy to leave our much loved furry friends while heading away on trips! We have been boarding our dogs here for two years now and they have been so kind and accommodating. I would recommend to anyone.
I left my elderly Border Collie, Jessie, with these folks and , due to his age, he suffered his second stroke while I was on vacation. They took him into their home and nursed him like he were one of their own, keeping him alive until I could get back to him. Words cannot adequately describe how grateful I was for their care. My new energetic BC loves these folks and they make sure he gets a good daily run and play while he is there. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!
Wonderful people clean,safe, great care for dog's. Our dog's love it there. Staff is super friendly and are kind to the dog's. They treat them as their own. Highly recommend them A++++ in my books.
My dog was boarding here for about a week and I was going to come back and pick him up but I ended up getting really sick and couldn’t come back to pick him up. Nathan talk to me on the phone and said no problem, they kept my dog boarded there for almost a month while I recovered. Cooper’s kennel is in amazing place to have your dogs day.
Great every time
Amazing, wouldn't have my dogs anywhere else!
Awesome place. Nathan is great. The dog seems to really do great here.
Fantastic people, a great place to board.
Peaceful and beautiful scenery...
Good people
With the facilities in a country setting, and the way the dog boarding areas were laid out, there was no thought of using any of the other places we looked at in the area. I especially appreciated that the small dog building is separate from the large dog area. Chris, the owner, was personable and knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. This is a very nice family owned and operated business.
I do not board my dogs. I try to avoid it at all costs. But I will gladly board my german shorthaired pointer at Joyful Noise. They don't treat their dogs like typical boarding facilities. From what I've seen, the dogs get to run around quite frequently and the staff do what the dog wants to do. I never have doubt that my dog will be taken care of here. They have always been so accommodating to what my dog needs. Very pleased with this facility. I've attached some pictures of my dog Rosie running around and playing with other dogs. Every picture sent to me makes me feel reassured I've chosen the right place.
Joyful Noise is the only place we trust our pup with!! Their flexibility and communication when booking is top tier and the way they love your dogs as their own is wildly apparent. The changeover of owners approx a year ago has gone without a hitch and the improvements they are making are nice!!
I have been boarding with Joyful noise for years. My dogs always have a great time and the owner is one of the most pleasant individuals I have met. I live 40 miles away and still choose to board with them. I can't recommend them enough.
I was very nervous to board my 2 dogs. One has a lot of anxiety and has never settled well when boarding. The other had never been boarded - he's a COVID puppy who rarely is even left home without people. I heard great things about Joyful Noise... And then was nervous again when I heard there were new owners after I scheduled. All of my own anxiety was for nothing. My dogs were so happy when we picked them up. The new owners are wonderful (and were so generous with me and my own nerves and my exhaustion when messing up pick-up a bit). I feel so much better knowing that the next time we are going out of town, I can feel calm about this part of the experience. My fur babies will be safe and happy here. Thank you, Joyful Noise!
Lovely experience for our neurotic dog, Lilly. She was well cared for. Friendly staff and great facilities. Very reasonably priced, too. Will use them for all our future boarding needs!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joyful Noise Dog Boarding! My fur baby “Mr.Bentley” gets to play and hang out with all his friends while I’m away. They love him almost as much as I do! They go out of their way to accommodate my busy schedule. Mr.Bentley is VERY well taken care of! I Never worry about his stays! When ever I ask Bentley if he’s ready to go visit his friends at camp…he runs to the front door! He loves going…what a concept in this day! Other boarders I’ve used in the past don’t even compare! I will never take him anywhere else!
Our two dogs room together at Joyful Noise and always come home happy. The staff are friendly and sweet to my dogs, even when they’re rambunctious and excited. The cost is affordable and it’s nice to not have to worry about them while we are away. I only wish there was a bathing option but that’s because my dogs love to get dirty during playtime. :-)
Have used them twice for vacation and have been very pleased with the service. Our dog loves the cows in the next yard and seems to love the people. Very nice staff. A little hard to get an appointment but they have improved with this and makes me assured thier priority is the dogs.
Thanks Kathleen for greeting us with warmth and enthusiasm today! Our dog Bella is happy and excited to visit your beautiful country dog boarding school and we think she will enjoy staying with you-all for a time soon. We had fun meeting a few of the other dogs and staff at their play time outside. We will make sure Bella gets her bordatella vaccine at Town and Country vets as soon as possible now before her stay. Thanks again for showing us around and welcoming Bella at your place. We can tell that all of the dogs have a real loving home there. We appreciate your hospitality and love for animals and especially the dogs very much. We always wish we could take our dog Bella everywhere with us, but you make the fact that we really cannot a little easier to take. Thanks it's a good start with our visit to Joyful Noise Boarding today!
Beautiful place and easy to find off the highway. Great place for senior dogs. My 12 yr old beagle basset mix had a good time. The only thing I would change is instead of me bugging them to ask how my dog was doing. Maybe write a simple thing in his portal or text me saying he had a good day and enjoyed smelling while out walking and even if he made a friend ( since he couldn't be in doggy daycare my only request was him to socialize with other dogs since he lost his best buddy our other dog a few months prior, so I was also having a hard time him being alone.) Pictures are great but I wanted to know a little more. I felt like I was sending my old man to camp for the first time and wanted to make sure he had a good day since he couldn't tell himself.
Seems like a nice place and our dog enjoyed his stay. The big selling point for us was we were told we would get daily updates with pictures. We had to ask for pictures and updates which wasn't a big deal. Our dog loved it there. We will definitely bring our little pup back here anytime we leave town. Everyone was really nice. The pictures and videos we got after asking were great. Our pup looked like he had a blast and he got a bath before picking him up so he smelled nice. They have tons of acres to walk dogs and a big pond for swimming.
We brought our pup to these wonderful folks and they have been nothing but amazing. Mylo wasn't a fan the first time due to be anxious and it being new. They allowed for me to bring my dog in for a few hours each day after and made him feel very comfortable! He now seems to enjoy being there and the staff is amazing! I would send someone here in a heartbeat! Thank you guys for taking care of my pup Mylo
My Loki was a happy, tired pup after I picked him up. I boarded him for a week and was sent picture updates. I also appreciate that they do evaluations for each dog before they are able to do community playtime with the others. I plan on boarding him here again when we go out of town in the future.
The staff here is exceptional 😊 There's so much to keep my pup active while she's here. Also THE best trainer around👍 Highly recommend this place for training, boarding, and daycare. They also offer some grooming & nail trim.
Our Border Collie, Rip, spent 8 nights at Ankeny Hill while we were on vacation. We couldn’t imagine taking him anywhere else after his first stay here. The drop off was smooth and easy. They coordinated some shots he had coming up, and at our request even trimmed his nails and bathed him the morning we picked him up. He has a GPS collar which the battery usually lasts a week or two, but he was so active there that it died in just a few days! Other kennels we’ve been to he gets nowhere near that amount of playtime/activity. Rip came home CLEAN, HEALTHY, and tired; if we could give Ankeny Hill 10/5 stars, we would in a heartbeat and we will definitely be back!
This is hands down the best dog boarding, daycare and dog obedience training in Salem and the surrounding areas. My pup LOVES this place and more importantly he loves everyone who works there. The staff is extremely knowledgable and experienced with dogs and they create a loving, safe and fun place for my pup to hang out during the days or boarding. It feels like they are his family too!
Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back. River looks amazing. She is beautiful and you guys were wonderful with her. River now has her future home with you guys there on her spa days. Thank you for always keeping me posted threw out the day. If I could give more stars I would!!!!
Can i give ZERO stars?!Our dog came home Wednesday with wounds on his legs. No one said anything and had to be asked. The wounds were almost positively bites and today, our 5 year old beautiful malamute was euthanized due to the infection.
They treated our boy so well! For the first time he was happy, clean, and himself, after being at a boarding facility! The staff is ridiculously friendly and helpful and they obviously care about the animals. Our dog can't wait to go back! Edit: I wanted to add our dog is notoriously difficult when it's time to have his nails trimmed and not only did they do so, but they were handsomely done, without any apparent trauma as he still let us grab and play with his feet that afternoon! Well done!
Our dogs don't stay anywhere else! We know they are well loved and cared for here :) Debbie sends us updates and pictures too, so that is really nice.
Had to make an emergency trip and our other sitters were unavailable. Found Debbie's service through Google and had no idea she was available just down the street. She was able to accommodate our last minute need for a sitter and am very glad we found her. She had her for a little over a week and took great care of our Lhasa Apso who also required daily eye drops. She would send us pictures and updates which relieved our stress about leaving her. Could not have asked for better results. Will be sure to continue using her in the future. Much appreciated Debbie!!! Highly recommended!!!
Debbie took such great care of our dog while we were away. She had excellent communication with us and we felt assured that our dog would be in great hands. It was very comforting to know he was getting individual attention from someone who clearly cared about the animals. So happy we met her!
I needed someone to watch my dog for a couple days and I found this lady through a directory. We met at her house and I found her to be so nice. A really suitable, professional and comfortable environment. It turned out in the end that my mom was able to watch my dog but I will for sure use her in the future if I ever need someone to watch my dog.
super nice
Thank you for your rating.
Thank you for your rating!
Penelope Pawprints was a wonderful vacation home for our Cat! My girlfriend and I left out Cat for about 2 weeks with Penny and our Cat had a wonderful time being social and enjoying the out door time. Pick up and drop off were made very simple by Penny and she is wonderful with communication willing to answer any questions you may have. We will definitly be coming back to Penelope Pawprints in the future!
Have used Penny's services for year's. She loves animals and has devoted herself to their care and well being. Ues her multiple times per year and would highly recommend her to everyone. We have 5 cats and they all love her.
Penny has come to my home and watched my two senior kitties with great care! It is such a relief to be able to leave them in their own home and know all their needs including special feeding and medications are being handled. On our return from trips, they didn’t even act like we had been gone! If you have cats you want to leave in their own home, call Penny!
I trust Penny 100% with my cats Beau and Lily. She has taken care of them more than once in my home, sometimes for 2-3 weeks. When I return from travels, my cats are relaxed and happy and I know she has taken excellent care of them She is loving, responsible, honest and is a lifetime animal lover. She's the best.
We had a great experience at Pennys! She was very caring toward our cat and has a nice facility. She is professional, communicates well and was flexible with scheduling. We will definitely use her services again!
Penny has taken care of my animals, large and small, on numerous occasions for many years. She is conscientious, punctual, and cares deeply about each and every creature. She alerts me if even the smallest detail seems not right. I trust her implicitly. I am so lucky to have her as my animal sitter, and don’t know what I would do without her!
Penny is absolutely more than amazing. The care she gives each and every animal, the obvious love she shares with all of them. I will always trust her with any of my animals. Our community is blessed to have her.
We took our two lil buddies to Penny’s and they had the time of their life! When ever we bring out our cats’ pet carriers they don’t freak out because they know they are going to paradise :) they always return perfectly brushed, exercised, and loved. If your looking for a place for your cats to stay this is the one for you! This isn’t the first time our cats have visited the cat cottage and it won’t be the last!
We are so fortunate to have Penny to care for our cats. We have a diabetic cat that is semi-feral and she is the only person that is able to care for her and give her the shots she needs. Without Penny's skilled handling of our cats we would not be able to vacation
This was by far the absolute best experience I have ever had boarding my cat while I was away for vacation. my sweet Cotton was taken care of, I even got pictures text to me of my baby while I was away! Penny is such a sweet lady, you will absolutely have peace of mind boarding your animals here!
