"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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, $17/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!
The staff is so friendly! Kendra cut my kitty cat's hair and he looks so very handsome. I've had other people trim him before and always looks like they trimmed him with a spoon lol anyways, Kendra did amazing job. Here's a picture of him modeling his new do. Enjoy!
This dog food place is way beyond just a retail dog food store. Billie and all the people there are truly amazing! Our 220 pound English Mastiff rescue( we got her as a pup) has the worst food Allergies! We had her in Sentiel as she was breaking out in hives, throwing up, and listless. The doctor at Sentinel told us to go over here and speak to Billie. We even had Simba on Hydroized Protien as a last resort for the last 2 years! Billie set up up with a raw diet of Salmon and Sweet Potatoe along with a kibble, mostly made of sardines. Simba is back to 100% and loves her food, even noses us to say she is hungry! Billie and the staff are truly knowledgeable and know their products. We are even given her Pork raw diet treats. She loves themselves. If I could give a 1000☆ I would! Thank you all.
Quick Paws is the absolute best! Charla and her entire staff are so helpful and friendly and really really care about my dog and her well being. I just boarded my dog for 11 days and she was so well taken care of. She came home healthy and happy. Such a piece of mind when traveling. Thanks Quick Paws!
The waitlist was well worth it for my Pom, Indie! The groomer was very knowledgeable of her coat and did an amazing job. We are excited to go back!
I boarded my cat with quick paws and I am so happy for it. It felt good to know that he would get some one on one time. He stayed for two weeks and when I got him he looked happy and healthy. The notes I got from staff who spent time with him were heart melting. Truly grateful for this service and the staff who watched after my kitty.
We took our 15 year old cat to Quick Paws. Kendra did an amazing job. Jack had his hair and mats shaved off and his nails clipped. He can move around so much better. Thank you Kendra and everyone at Quick Paws for taking awesome care of Jack.
Simply fantastic! Our experience with Quick Paws was amazing for our cat boy Muggsy. We recently had fallen on hard times and Quick Paws came to the rescue with caring for our pet when things were uncertain, they worked flexibly with us financially as well and cannot thank them enough for all they do.
Outstanding place with incredible staff. Our dogs are so well taken care of. We can't thank you all enough.
I’m giving five stars because some doodler decided to give one star. Melody, if your mom’s doodle was shaved, it was because it was a matted mess. Meaning your mom was neglecting the dog and not brushing it properly. Dematting the dog would have been cruel and painful. The only way to deal with extreme matting is to shave it off. You are the reason why groomers are turning doodle owners away. Y’all want the teddy bear look, don’t maintain your dog, and get mad when a groomer can’t magically restore your dog’s matted to the skin coat. The well being of the dog be damned.
Absolutely LOVE this place!!! Took my dog here last year on his birthday and will be doing it again this year. I’m not going to lie I was very nervous leaving him for the first time at the groomers. I looked at about 7 groomers in town before I decided on this place. The poor staff were so kind to me and answered all my overbearing questions with a smile on their face. The building was nice and clean and they truly care about the animals. My handsome little boy loved it there and I can’t wait to bring him back. Thank you Quick Paws for unbelievable costumer service and your love of pets!!!!
I started bringing my dogs here 2 years ago per the recommendation by another dog kennel that this facility was accommodating of dogs with social and/or behavioral problems. – the impression I received is the friendly staff would work with them to find the right groups that fit. I always felt great and relieved leaving my dogs there in good faith as that is what was advertised to me, as I know one of my dogs can be troublesome sometimes. This policy must have recently changed to not welcome dogs that do not do well in all groups to be watched at their facility. I was called to their office and informed my dogs were "not welcome back at daycare" anymore as they are “too anxious” to play in groups. I wish I would have received information and maybe some kind of warning about this matter sooner, preferably before we were not welcomed back and before I learned my dogs were being isolated during the days I paid for daycare under the impression they were in a group catering to their temperaments. If your dog is anxious or has any type of behavioral quirk/issues, just look for another facility or you will likely join us as doggy dropouts. If your dog does great with others, this facility will probably be great for you.
Ruby has been to day care at Happy Paws. The staff there take such excellent care of her. They are so sweet and loving to her. They work with her anxieties to make sure she has a good stay. Also, Ruby has been groomed by Jadence twice. She did a great job. I'm so grateful for Happy Paws
Our experience with Happy Paws started out promisingly enough. We entrusted them with our golden retriever puppy for several months, and for the most part, everything seemed fine. The staff always seemed friendly, and we consistently received positive feedback about our dogs behavior. However, our perception of Happy Paws took a nosedive when we were unexpectedly pulled aside by management one day. To our shock, we were informed that our dog had too much energy and couldn't be matched with other dogs. Consequently, he was often isolated in a separate area for the entire day. This left us feeling frustrated and mislead. Why were we only now being informed of this issue? Why did we receive nothing but positive feedback until this point? We had been paying for daycare services under the impression that our pup was enjoying himself and socializing with other dogs. We can no longer in good conscience recommend Happy Paws to other pet owners. Since this occurred, we've been taking our dog to Woof Haven and it's been a great transition. They do a temperament test to ensure compatibility of dogs and often post updates of the dogs on social media (neither of which are done by HP).
We couldn't be happier. I boarded our large American Bulldog, Stella, with the folks at Happy Paws for the past 10 days. Super great experience. I recommend them to anyone in the Missoula area. They made her a Christmas dinner. And took better care of her than I could ask for. Thanks so much guys. It really means a lot to me and my family that you treated our dog as your own.
Such a great place to take your pups for a fun-filled day. We have a high-energy Aussie who absolutely loves coming here for doggy-day-care. She comes home exhausted and ready to nap the rest of the day. The staff is so nice and helpful and seems like they truly love being there. “It’s a lot better than an office job” is right!
Happy Paws is the best. My dog is a high energy puppy who was the disruptor of the Earth. She has been intuitively cared for and switched up to areas and groups where she can be carefree and entertaining. 😂 She is so happy to go there and the staff is so awesome with her and puts up with god-knows-what. She has become the best pup who is well adjusted and is tired when she comes home, which is the ultimate blessing! She loves Happy Paws and so do we!!
Best place to bring your dog in Missoula! Our 2 dogs love going for daycare and boarding. We never worry about them when we have to leave them for a stay, which is priceless peace of mind. Our pups are always excited when we make the turn down Miller Creek cause they know they're in for an awesome day. Even better they come home completely tuckered out and relaxed like they have been on a trip too, which is great if you live in an apartment and don't have access to a yard. We send them for daycare here whenever they start to get stir crazy during the week so we don't come home to find that they have decided to entertain themselves while we are at work. Usually by chewing on whatever they're not supposed to have while we're home. Also helps keep them from neurotic barking at every sound late at night, waking up our neighbors. If we ever need to drop them off, and one or both of ours dogs have medication to take, the staff is diligent and accurate at making sure they take their meds. Yet another huge relief! We can't thank your always friendly staff enough for the help they provide for us. Happy Dogs + Happy Humans, all thanks to Happy Paws! Much love from Miles + Rory!
I am so thrilled to find a wonderful place that loves and cares for my fur baby!! My 11 year old pup has never been boarded or attended puppy day care as I have always lived where I knew people who could house sit for me. I am going on vacation and new to the area and needed someone to take care of my pup. Daycare was successful and I will rest easy knowing Reese’s is safe and happy!! Thank you!! 💛💛
My expectations and standards for the care of my dog are extremely high. I do not trust just anyone with my dog especially after her recent bout with cancer and liver disease. My dog requires daily medication and intensive behavioral monitoring, but despite her medicinal conditions I was reassured by the owner Theresa and her staff that Lola would receive the level of care and love that their own animals receive. With only a recommendation from my primary vet, I took a chance with Happy Paws. And I was blown away by the level of compassion, care and the accommodations for my pets medical needs. Lola was with them for nearly a week and received exactly what I was looking for. They monitored her, spent time with her, and when her wound became infected (this is not because of level of sanitation being low, but Lola’s decreased immune system from her medication) Theresa drove her into the emergency vet personally and was actively communicating with me via the phone on her condition. Lola is doing much better now and on the road to full recovery. If you bring your pet here, I can vouch that from the owner to the staff that they will treat your pet with the same love and care that you do. Highly recommended, will bring my pet back here should the need arise. Thank you again to Theresa and her amazing staff at Happy Paws!
Finding Happy Paws has been a huge relief. We had two dogs when we first found them and one of our dogs is a rescue who can be a bit reactive when around other dogs and strange people. She's not a bad or unusual dog, she just needs someone willing to take the time to understand her and what she needs to feel secure. Every other place we took her never took the time and just isolated her away from the other dogs and people while we were gone. On her very first weekend with Happy Paws, she was playing with other dogs and having a blast. When we commented on how surprising that was to the owner, she said she had simply put our dog with other dogs who respond well to her personality type. It means so much to us to be able to leave town and know that she is being well taken care of and not just shoved in an area by herself. We recently lost our second dog and Happy Paws not only grieved along with us but has done everything they can to help our rescue navigate her own grieving process, which has also meant a great deal to us. Happy Paws has given us peace of mind that our babies are being cared for (emphasis on the word care), understood, and loved. We will never go anywhere else for dog care.
Alex was a life saver for my spring break trip! She was amazing at communicating, sending updated pictures, and making my animals feel calm and loved. We are so grateful to have come across her business and will be using her for all trips moving forward. Highly recommend this wonderful lady!
Alexandria is the best! She took such great care of my puppy, Jack, in my home, as well as in her home whenever I would bring him there. Jack absolutely loves Alexandria, and would always look forward to me leaving him with her. I love her attention to detail, and thoughtful ways of keeping me updated on how Jack's day was going, like sending me picture updates by text. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alex. We have had the pleasure of using her service since 2020. I would highly recommend her. Alex you've been a blessing to our family. Thank you for all that you do. ❤️
Alexandra did such a great job pet-sitting for our dogs! She stayed overnight with our golden retriever and mini Aussie for 4 nights and was so respectful of our home. Overall, she is very professional, a great communicator and such a nice person. She took our dogs on multiple walks/hikes each day and sent us countless photos of all their adventures! I think our dogs truly missed her once we returned home -- we look forward to having Alexandra care for our dogs again in the future (and I'm sure our dogs can't wait either!)
I have nothing but good things to say about Skyline Petcare! Alexandra is the best dog walker/ sitter that I have worked with, she has a real gift caring for animals. She has always been reliable and a true animal lover at heart. She also has experience with a wide range of animals, so don’t hesitate to reach out for pets that require more specialized care. I highly recommend her!
Alex is one of the most deeply caring ,kind and well trained caregivers a pet owner could have. She is a loving , accepting caregiver to seemingly all creatures great and small...doggies in diapers, three legged hamsters, tortoises, kitties who hide under the bed and mucks out horse stalls. Cool headed, trained for emergencies, schooled in an animals medical needs...I wouldn't have anyone else.
Alex is a natural with animals. Within a couple of minutes after meeting Alex, our "fur kids" were at ease and seeking her attention. Alex is a knowledgeable, compassionate and loving caregiver.
Phenomenal & reliable!! So pleased with the pet care that I have received. It is so nice to know that your furry family members are in good hands while you are away….and she sends photos ❤️
Very reliable person! She has a natural way with animals, my kitties love her. She'd good at medicating cats when needed for those special needs babies.
She took such great care of our fur baby! 10/10 recommend
Meghan and her husband were incredible when I was on my vacation to Montana when I needed care for my pooch Ollie to attend an unexpected funeral. They took Ollie almost instantly gave him the true love I give him. The facility is extremely spacious with tons of running room with her home adjacent to the facility. It's outside of Missoula in Lolo so its pretty quiet but easy to find from the highway. The rates were extremely reasonable and I never had one worry my pup was in great hands. Ollie gives it 4 big paws 🐾 and one short tail up (River Pic was a happy Ollie after his stay)
Furever friends is incredible! Not only are they so accommodating but have the cleanest facilities and beautiful play space for the pups. They take into consideration each dogs social needs and communicate wonderfully. So professional. It wasn’t until we tried another Missoula daycare when furever friends was fully booked that I realized What I was taking for granted. We will never return to the other place we tried and will be forever friends of Furever friends :) Thanks for being incredible!!!
Tabatha & Matt are the best. I have been taking my husky there for a few years. He is well cared for with plenty of playtime and interaction
Love this place! Smaller dog/handler ratios than most places means your dog is keenly watched and has a more enjoyable, less stressful day. The staff and owners are awesome and really care about the dogs. On those dangerously hot days, everyone comes inside to cool off and play in the a/c. My dog, Finley, really enjoys his play time at Furever friends!
Our small-to-mid-sized dog enjoys his stays. Spends the days playing with the other dogs and comes home exhausted. He never minds going back.
I just picked up my dog from a 3 day stay. Let me tell you about frank. He’s a high energy insane dog. Won’t stop. Ever. He yells in the car 100% of the time and runs around when he’s not buckled in. Today when I picked him up he got into the back of the car and layed down then proceeded to snore the loudest snore I’ve ever heard. I’ve never seen him so exhausted and I’m so happy he played his little heart out. Worth every single penny. Frank will be back!
A great place for dogs, they are always welcoming and sweet to our boys. We have one timid guy and he does well. They are comfortably taken care of for our long weekends away. Thank you Matt and Tab!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this business and the owner. The place is spotless with excellent indoor and outdoor play areas and always has a good mix of friendly pups for my big ole boy to play with. Prices are great! Hours are great! Location is great! I know my dog is really well cared for and safe with them.
My little PomChi wakes me up each morning waiting to go to Forever Friends Doggy Daycare. I Live up the street from them, that said, yesterday (Sunday) my little guy snuck out the front door. Typically opening the car door makes him run right back. NOT this time, instead he ran up the road to the daycare. NOW if that doesn't tell people that they are an amazing dog loving environment, then I don't know what will. They are clean, happy, fun and always with the animals. Thank you for the wonderful care you give my little guy.. Not to mention he is EXHAUSTED at the end of the day from playing. :)
We absolutely love this doggy daycare. My boy, Spike, is always excited to go and see his friends! 100% recommend!!
Teddy had been going to the same daycare for all of his life but when it closed we needed to find a new place…. I was recommended this doggy daycare by one of my employees and I could not be happier with them! Teddy always has a fantastic time when he goes and comes back home nice and tired! As soon as we start getting near the daycare he starts jumping around the backseat with excitement! Wonderful staff and plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play! Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a good place for your dog to spend the day!
The most delightful, welcoming staff- we went for the temperament testing- It’s a safe facility, with experienced dog handlers and nervous dog owner. I knew I left my best buddy’s in the best of care. The dogs had a delightful time. I’d like to say they put on their best manners but they’re pretty independent.- and don’t fake who they are!
This place is awesome! Never had any issues and my pup always comes home happy and exhausted from hiking and playing all day. They are very communicative and strive to care for every single dog and it shows. I would and do recommend Alpine Canine to anyone!
Both of my dogs love it here and come back so happy and exhausted! I am so grateful to have a place like Alpine Canine in Missoula. The staff are so friendly and seem to remember each and every dog, I especially love the report at the end of the day when I pick them up. This is also a great place for puppy socialization once your dogs are all vaccinated!
We have boarded our pups a handful of times now at Alpine Canine, typically for at least 4-5 days at a time and have had a great experience. I love that they have the option of daily hikes on their property. If there’s a suggestion box -> Would love pictures of them on these hikes :)
Brought my pup here for daycare and she had a great time. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the best part is that the dog was completely tuckered out by the end of the day.
This is a 5 star review for the staff at Alpine Canine. The way they treat my pups is so reassuring when I have to board them, that I know they’re in good hands while I’m out of town and can travel with peace of mind. 5 stars is also for the Alpine Canine facility- it is cheerful and clean, and from the moment I drive up it is evident that all the dogs- big and small- are having a great time. 5 stars applies to the programs too. The pack hike is such a cool feature. I take advantage of day care when I know I have a busy day or just want to have a day to run errands and do chores without the dogs underfoot. Highly recommend, but don’t just take my word for it… The review you should really trust is these two totally wiped out doggos! They get so excited as soon as we turn down the dirt road and can’t wait to get inside. When I pick them up, they are completely exhausted and sleep like sweet little angels for a whole day afterwards. It’s a treat for yourself, and a treat for your best friend too🐾
Alpine kept our 3 pups for two weeks while we were away. We were nervous for leaving them for that long but Alpine took great care of them. Picked them up they were happy and looked healthy. Appreciate the military discount they offer as well. We will use them again without question for our next summer trip.
This is very hard as I have left my dogs before over night here in the past. (New management now?) However, the past few years have been rough with this facility, which has lead me to leave this review. I don't normally do this but it is at the point that I will never leave my dogs here again. It started 3 leaves ago when we boarded our dogs here for 4 nights and when we went to pick them up they "could not find their dog beds"... how does that happen? And what were my dogs left to sleep on? I wrote it off as whatever... the next time last year we left our dogs for 3 nights here and when I picked them up in the morning, the dog bed was covered in feces and all over one of my dogs. I wrote it off as nerves or something.... but inside I knew my dogs were house trained and would never shit on their bed. This last time, we left our dogs for 3 nights and when I showed up to pick them up they handed me their dog bed soaked in urine. My dogs are 10 and 5 years old, house trained and live in our house with us. They are very house trained. That tells me they are NOT letting my dogs out of their kennel in a timely manner at all. We Pay $70+ a night to have them care for our animals to be neglected. I will never leave my dogs here again.
My dog was temperament tested and passed with flying colors. The staff was very good with all the dogs, the facility was clean and my dog really liked it. I think this is an excellent place for her and she will be spending a lot of time here.
I recently found myself in need of last minute boarding of our kitten. I googled places to board in Missoula, and was relieved to find the Garden City Pets website, AND the convenience of their online booking option. In the rush of everything, I overlooked certain details- but the staff at GCP was understanding, kind, and accommodating when I called and explained my issues. When dropping off, I had no doubt that my kitten was going to be well taken care of and safe there. Staff was great, boarding looked comfortable- I highly recommend this place!
I won’t take Howdy anywhere else. Leaving him for the first time was hard but knowing how much fun he has and how much he loves Lisa Marie makes it so much easier. She even sends us fun updates with the BEST photos. I can’t recommend them enough.
Great boarding and day care facility! My girl does very well with the small groups and structure here. I would highly recommend for any dog, especially if you have a dog with anxiety! Lisa-Marie and her staff do a wonderful job reading my dog and setting her up for success. I appreciate the time the give at check in/out to touch base with how my dog did.
GCP took absolutely superb care of our fur babies!! One was a first time boarder & the other a medically complicated senior. They kept both of them happy & healthy. The whole process, from booking to pickup was straightforward and smooth.
I wouldn’t take my pet anywhere else, Garden City Pets has always gone above and beyond and I know my pet is taken care of. Lisa Marie (owner) is absolutely delightful, you can see her passion for what she does.
My dog, Charlie and myself love Garden City Pets! I always feel so comfortable leaving Charlie in Lisa Marie’s care. She was so thorough and personable from the beginning, which bestowed my trust in her. She made sure Charlie was comfortable before staying there and made sure she knew his history. Charlie is a little on the anxious side and he does great with Lisa Marie. She sends pictures of him while I’m gone and he always looks so happy. Also, when I drop him off, he runs over to her! I am so lucky to have found Garden City Pets.
Lisa was an amazing pet sitter for my chihuahua Marino! She treated him like a king for the 5 days I was gone on vacation, it was hard for him to leave! She also sent me photos of him periodically to let me know he was well taken care of. It was hard for me to see her leave Austin. Would highly recommend her pet care services to anyone looking for a sitter in Missoula MT!
They are the very best! They took excellent care of our sweet little girl. It has taken us a little bit of time to find the right fit for her and we couldn't be happier. She arrived so happy to see them when we dropped her off for a weekend stay after her trial day, she showed no signs of being nervous or anxiousness. I was able to check in on her, they were so kind to take care of my nerves at leaving her too. I could truly go on and on.... We found our happy place for our sweetie. Thank you Garden City Pets!
We just love Garden City Pets! Our sweet girl Daisy has been to daycare and has stayed there for boarding. Lisa Marie is amazing, and I knew Daisy was getting the best care while we were gone. I would definitely recommend taking your pet there. 😀 …
Our kids love hanging out with Lisa Marie and her staff!! Best of the best!!! We recommend Garden City Pets 100%!!!!
The groomers are so wonderful! My sweet dog has severe anxiety and the first time there she destroyed a drying kennel and tried to tear the tub from the wall. I felt so bad but those ladies were so kind about it. We paid for the damage of course and I was so surprised that they had no hesitation having her back. They accommodate her personality and she still goes every 10 weeks with no further issues. They are so friendly there and I understand why they are always so busy, definitely the best groomers I've met.
I was nervous to board my German Shepherd while I went on vacation because I was afraid his separation anxiety would flare up again. He seemed very content and well taken care of when I picked him up. The Pet Palace also accommodated my GSD with moving him to a indoor/outdoor run as soon as one became available. I was pleased with the service and care, as well as the price. Will definitely be returning in the future.
My husband and I brought our dogs here to be boarded while we lived in the area and it has been by far the best dog boarding experience we’ve had. We had a bad experience with a previous boarder and the staff at Bitterroot Pet Palace did everything they could to ease our worries. They took incredible care of our babies and one of the staff even sent me near daily picture updates of them while there. If we still lived in the area, this would be the only boarder we’d use! Highly highly recommend!
I have only utilized the dog grooming services and the groomers here rock! They take such good care of my reluctant dog. Their facility is clean. And their prices are reasonable. They are so friendly and truly love the animals. Must book far, far in advance because they are always full!
I dropped my 2 dogs off and they've never been boarded before. It broke my heart off to leave them for the weekend but as soon as I saw the personalized service I was instantly relieved. Niki was there to greet us and then I was shown where they would be. When I arrived to pick them up they were in great shape. All in all it was great for them and me to get away for awhile. I will use them again and I recommend them highly. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't smell like a kennel. It was super clean and highly Pythagoras. A+
It's always hard to leave your pets, but I never feel anxious when I drop them off at Bitterroot Pet Palace! The owners are amazing and the employees are simply just delightful people. They always remember my pups and go out of their way to make sure I'm feeling good about their visit. So glad to have found them!!
Our dogs all love the groomers here, and they do fantastic work. A year ago, our dogs caught the business end of a skunk and needed a major bath. They got me in that same morning and did a great job getting rid of the skunk odor. We rescued a dog from a neglectful home and he came to us covered in mats and in desperate need of a haircut and bath. Even though they were booked up, they made an exception worked him into their schedule because of his situation. They truly care about the animals that come to them, and they take excellent care of them. We've boarded our dogs here, and with our past experiences with the people at the Pet Palace, we knew our dogs were in good hands.
We love these folks. And our 2 big (78 and 65 pounds) puppies (8 months), love this place. Always excited when they arrive. And a great value for the price. And the ladies who run the place are great. Friendly, professional, sweet and obviously love animals. Our new favorite "dog hotel" when needed.
Our dogs, Cassie and Lily, stayed here for the first time for about 9 days last month and we’re very happy about how things went. Sarah called us several days in to let us know she had a coughing dog in the kennel and she was working with the owners to remove it in the event the dog was contagious (kennel cough or another virus). She let us know our dogs were doing fine but she would get in touch if anything changed, and she provided a brief update on our dogs. She could have simply flown under the radar on this and called us only if our dogs had symptoms, but she did the best/right thing and gave us a heads up. She nailed it. Sarah and another staff member made a point to tell us how sweet and polite our dogs were. I thought maybe they had our dogs confused with someone else’s. It’s always great to get compliments on your kids’ behavior from strangers. What a relief to know they are only Little Monsters at home. 😆
I was a customer of Bitterroot pet palace when the old owner owned the company. My experience with him was NOT great. Each time we'd pick out dogs up, they smelled like urine. My dogs also contracted kennel cough while he owned the facility, and were treated without our knowledge with an over the counter cough suppressant. He also often would tell us that our dogs didn't get to access the large yard because they wouldn't listen to him when he wanted to come inside, and that was THEIR problem, not his. He "doesn't play that game". When we found out the Pet Palace sold, we were VERY excited, and thrilled to meet the new owner. Right away, Sarah was AMAZING. We often traveled on the weekends, returning on Sundays. If we were every running a couple minutes behind, or cutting it close to closing time, Sarah ALWAYS offered to stay so we could still pick our dogs up. They no longer smell like urine when we pick them up after being boarded, nor have they had another issue with Kennel Cough. Furthermore, one of our dogs was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. Sarah and her ENTIRE team has been AMAZING at going above and beyond for us. She accommodates our schedule, when she doesn't have to, AT ALL, which is a HUGE help. We have been dropping our dog off with her at day care for the team, while he gets used to his seizure meds, which can take a little while. Whenever I call, whoever answers give me updates, and makes sure they answers all of my questions regarding his status. Tracy, Sarah, Julie, they're all AMAZING, and do a WONDERFUL job at monitoring our dog giving me updates regarding his status. They also let both of our dogs out into the big yard, so they can run off some of their energy and have said they don't have any issues, that dogs will be dogs and it's OK. I seriously cannot say enough how happy we are with her being the new owner, and we will continue to take our dogs to her for any needs that we have. From daycare, to boarding, I trust them ALL with our dogs, no matter what.
