It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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, $19/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!
Love love love this place! My dog has been going here for a little over 3 years now and we both love it. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean, and it's clear that they have safety practices in place to make sure all the dogs are well taken care of. My dog is the kind of guy who never wants to leave my side but he runs straight in here when I drop him off in the mornings — doesn't even say goodbye! I can tell he's comfortable here and has a blast with his friends. Highly recommend!
Sakora, Josh, and the gang are absolutely wonderful! Our 2 Beagles are in the best of hands here! They love coming here! We are so grateful!!
They are absolutely amazing with my dogs. I have 4 huskies, and we are currently full-time RV'ing, which is a lot to handle. They always come out of here happy! Even on boarding overnight, they come out the next day happy. They were very understanding of the needs of each of them and of us. I definitely recommend!
I love this daycare so much, I was so nervous to leave my dogs for the weekend. I was able to bring my dog’s in for a 3-4 hour evaluation for them to be cleared for boarding. I have two high energy shepherds so I was really nervous they wouldn’t be cleared, however they told me they were amazing and reassured me that boarding will go smoothly. When I dropped them off, they were so welcoming to me and my dogs, they even let me shake off some nerves by asking a million questions to make sure what happens within the daycare throughout the day. While I was out of town I was able to call them and request for pictures to be sent to me of my pups for an update on how they’re doing. They were prompt and texted me a bunch of pictures of them and told me how great they were. I was so pleased, picking up and dropping them off was a breeze and I definitely plan on using this daycare whenever I need it next! I am attaching the pictures that they sent me as well. Thank you! :)
I can’t say enough good things to capture how much we love and appreciate Dog Paw Daycare. We have a VERY high energy, high anxiety 1.5 year old Siberian Husky who we got during quarantine and had turned out to be quite the handful. Despite this, Dog Paw has handled him with such grace, understanding and compassion. We moved to Eugene from Colorado and did not know anyone in the area so we relied on Dog Paw many times for out of town trips or emergency daycare needs. Although the staff was initially hesitant because our pup displayed some challenging behaviors (barrier frustration, anxious barking, etc), they quickly learned how to handle and support our dog and always welcomed him with a smiling face. Our heart was so happy to see how excited our pup was when he realized he was in the car heading to daycare! We are moving out of state but will greatly miss having Dog Paw as our go-to daycare spot. Sending a huge thank you to all the staff at dog paw for putting up with and caring for our pup Bristol. Bristol loves you guys! ❤️ Thank you!
I work a lot and take Appollo to daycare one day a week to be out of my house. He loves going and doesn’t like playing with the dogs but loves the people! Thank you guys for being so great to him, you help me socialize him and I am so thankful!
My boyfriend and I are first-time dog owners, so we've been hesitant of leaving our one-year old Australian Cattle dog, Bailey, at a daycare/overnight boarding facility. We found this Dog Paw Daycare and Boarding after doing a few hours of research (best reviews, local and availability). Turns out: they aced it all — and the reviews were not an exaggeration. The staff here are especially caring, and when we called, they gave an honest update on Bailey's medication, food and water intake and playfulness. We once questioned if our dog had separation anxiety — especially in new environments. We were once again proven wrong, and that's thanks to the staff for making Bailey so comfortable in her crate. See the picture attached of her sleeping so soundly before we picked her up during after hours. We called for updates, and the staff were professional and truthful. We requested a lot, and the staff gladly accommodated our wishes. We weren't members, but we are definitely considering it. If not, we are 100% returning. In fact, I also saw members having the ability of viewing their dog on a webcam, and that's amazing. A little free time for us, and socialization and fun for Bailey. It's a win-win scenario. If you're in the Eugene/Springfield area, enroll your pup into this daycare/overnight boarding facility.
This is a hard review to write....because I am going to make my own situation more complicated. This Doggy Daycare is beyond amazing!!! Our year old golden retriever LOVES going here. Everyone who works here seems to love Maggie just as much as I do. They go above and beyond to help us, take care of Maggie, and run an honest and ethical business! Maggie does 2 days of daycare per week and has done boarding a couple times....She is never excited to leave when we show up....she gets sad to leave behind all her friends. We have used another daycare in our area and it is not nearly as great as this one. The owners of Dog Paw should be very proud of the business they run! The reason my situation will become more complicated is because more people will learn how awesome they are and make it harder for us to get Maggie in. :) Way to go Dog Paw, YOU ARE STELLAR!!!
If I could give this business 10 stars, I would! The staff who did Rocky's evaluation were beyond amazing! They were friendly, professional and it's clear that they love dogs. The facility was so clean and super secure. I definitely feel like it's a safe place to leave my pup. They give each dog an evaluation before you can leave them for boarding. Word of mouth led me to book a stay and I'm so happy I found this wonderful company!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My dog LOVES Dog Paw Daycare.The staff is friendly, and they provide the option for a drive up drop off which is so convenient. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their dogs some extra socialization and a fun place for them to burn some energy.
I have nothing but good things to say about Lucky Dog and the staff who work there, especially Stacey and Jill. My dog really struggles with anxiety with new places and new people, and I was so nervous about trying daycare with him. Well, he went from being able to tolerate only a couple hours to being able to stay there for several days. He LOVES it there. And the staff are always patient with him and excited to see him. Their attentiveness and advanced training mean I always feel confident leaving Oscar in their care. Lucky Dog has been a critical part of Oscar’s journey. Thanks for all that you do!
I can’t say enough good things about Luck Dog Daycare! My puppy has only gone for her half-day trial and her first full day, but it’s already clear how much she loves it. She gets so excited the moment we pull into the parking lot, which says a lot! The staff has been wonderful and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with them. I really appreciate how they group dogs by similar temperaments and carefully vet each dog coming into the facility. Knowing my pup is surrounded by compatible playmates gives me peace of mind. The cameras are such a great feature! It’s so fun to check in and see what my girl is up to during the day. It’s obvious she’s having a blast and getting lots of love and attention. She comes home so tired and content, which has made such a difference in her behavior. She’s calmer, happier, and so much better behaved after a day at Luck Dog. For a dog who’s very social, Luck Dog is the perfect alternative to dog parks, which I’ve found to be messy and full of unpredictable situations. This daycare provides a clean, safe, and structured environment where my pup can thrive. I’m so grateful for this amazing resource for my girl and can’t wait to continue bringing her here!
My pup and I are thankful to the Team at Lucky Dog. Hobart is happy to go and I know he is in good hands when I drop him before work. He plays with the other dogs and they feed him the meal that I plan for him. At the end of the day he takes the Limo home and I trust the staff to put him into his crate with supper until I get home. He is so happy there that we are going to start classes and look forward to him going on the nature outings.
The staff at Lucky Dog are amazing! They are extremely caring and attentive, treating each dog as an individual, getting to know all their "personalities" and needs. There is such a wonderful atmosphere at Lucky Dog--so positive and enthusiastic. And they offer a full range of services--everything you could possibly want for your dog. I've gone to other doggy day cares, which were fine, but this is truly, off the charts exceptional! The staff were so skillful at guiding my big, 90 pound German shepherd, Felix, who went to Lucky Dog for many years. He always behaved well with them and with the other dogs. And the staff have been so gentle with my small dog Heidi, a traumatized rescue dog. They helped her feel strong and confident--now she holds her own with all the big dogs, feeling safe and sassy! Heidi LOVES going to Lucky Dog--she cries all the way in the car, in anticipation, and runs right in, thrilled to be there! Dogs don't lie! If only they could write their own reviews, it would be clear how magnificent this place is!
Have been taking our pup to Lucky Dog for almost a year now. We have had a great experience with owner, staff and all the options that we have taken advantage of…in addition to daytime care he has attended enrichment training , adventure camp, and even had a bath. One of Finn’s favorite activities is hanging out in the pool! Haha! Finn is happy to get dropped off and always come home ready to take a nap. Highly recommend!
We started using Lucky Dog after we got a golden retriever mix last year. We talked to 3 different similar doggy daycare locations and Lucky Dog was hands down the most inviting and friendly group of people. We have taken Max a few times now and we are over the top happy with them, so is Max! Update: Max was so excited to go to Luckydog today that he almost removed Kendra’s arm running for the entrance. We left him for overnights twice and it was reported that he took to it like he’s been coming all along! This is so important to us as we want to be able to go out of town and know that he is safe and happy. Most recent photo is him having fun at Luckydog!
Luckydog is awesome! The staff are caring and flexible, and many enrichment activities are offered to meet the wide range of energy levels of different breeds. Knowing that my pups are getting the best of care allows me to relax when out of town. Frankly, I think the pups like Luckydog better than home. ❤️ The pups also appreciate being able to keep up on their favorite Animal Planet shows when staying overnight. 😂
Can’t say enough good things about Luckydog. Our pup has attended day care twice a week for nearly four years and it’s the only place we feel comfortable boarding him when we can’t take him with us. The building is clean, they are very careful to make certain pups are up-to-date on vaccinations, and the staff are all wonderful. Bosco loves everything about Lucky Dog including the Enrichment program and Adventure Club. We love being able to have him groomed while he’s there. Lucky Dog is the best!
Highly recommended Lucky Dog!!! Can’t say enough great things about the staff, the facilities and things they offer. The staff makes Piper feel like the most important pup in the world every time we show up. As a pet parent its so great to be able to leave your little peanut in the care of people you know truly look out for her. Cheers to DeeDee and her entire staff!!!
I love Luckydog. When I moved to this area, I was immediately drawn to them for being an all in one provider for dogs. My dog Theo had a couple puppy classes from Stacey, who is a gem. A one hour one on one and my dog was already improving. Theo also regularly gets groomed by McKenzie. I’ve always been super happy with her cuts, and we’ve had different variations, all wonderful. She’s a grooming artist! I’ve never tried day care as I work remotely but I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go to them. I believe they also do boarding.
Catmandu is a FABULOUS cat boarding retreat. I boarded 8 of my cats there for 8 months while my house was being repaired from storm damage. Shaundele and all of the others people are caring and wonderful with all the cats. I went to visit my kitties most days and whatever time I stopped by I saw all the kitties were well cared for and happy. Each cat condo had cat’s name on it as well as instructions for care and feeding. Each cat has a turn to go out on the catio and the new condos all have their own catio!! Absolutely lovely!!! My cats LOVED watching the farm animals walk by, chickens, ducks and goats as well as birds. I watched all the care givers interact with the kitties in a very loving manner. Condos were kept clean and bedding was washed frequently. Each condo had all the kitties food right by their condo. Water was replaced several times a day. I absolutely love Catmandu, and I interacted with them for 8 months. Absolutely the BEST!!! I highly recommend this boarding facility!!!
Found out on pick up that our cat had a huge bowl of dry food. We filled out their paperwork with clear instructions to always wet his food as he had a health complication in the past making wetted food necessary. Brought him home only to have to put him down within a week due to intestinal issies from the dry food. When letting them know about what happened they offered condolinces "if" they had anything to do with it. Thats it. He had to move around the facility due to space contraints which was fine but his paperwork or things didnt seem to move with him. Pick up was a long process of looking for his carrier and toys, never found his blanket. His kennel didnt have his name or paperwork on it. Shortly before coming to pick him up she had sent a picture saying he gained weight but only really in the belly... yet after what happened to him she still wonders IF it was caused by his time there. If you have a cat with special needs at all I can Not recommend this place. His accomidation isnt even that hard. Feed 2x a day a propper serving and add a 1/4-ish cup of water over his food.
We have boarded our 2 cats at Catmandu for the past 2 1/2 years; both short term & recently 5 weeks. They are well cared for with a personal touch. It’s not only a vacation for us but for our cats. Levi & Shaundele treat them like their own & truly care about their needs.Thanks Catmandu!
What a wonderful home away from home for our cat. It is very rare to find a place that lets your cat roam around a bit in a safe enclosed space. Highly recommended!!
Our cats are old and have been getting somewhat temperamental recently. Catmandu did a great job with them keeping them fed and happy for our week long trip. Location a hop and a skip from the airport is a plus as well. Very kind owners and understanding when our flight was delayed past hours keeping them another night. We will continue to use them as long as these seniors stay with us.
Our cat is a very nervous guy with some health issues that he needs daily medication for. Catmandu did great with his medication administration, and he must have had a nice stay because when we got him home, he was much calmer than he had been after bringing him back from other cat boarding facilities. Thank you Catmandu!
Our cat Neko has stayed at Catmandu Retreat several times now and we can tell she really likes it. She is well taken care of in a clean, caring environment and upon returning home she shows no sign of distress. We are all very lucky to have such a nice retreat for her when my husband and I are off travelling.
We’ve brought our cat here twice now. The facility is very clean, the cats seems to really enjoy it, and the people who run the place are very kind and welcoming! We actually had ours stay here during the June 2021 heat wave, which we were concerned about, but the owner did a great job assuring us that she would keep the place cool. Definitely recommended for cat owners!!
I left my cat with them over spring break and they did a fabulous job! I was really worried about my kitty, since that was the first time I had left her with someone else since I adopted her. But I was knew she was in good hands at Catmandu! I got daily pictures and updates! They cuddled and played with her and she almost didn't want to come home! I will be taking my cat to Catmandu again:)
This is the only place I will take my cat to. Great surroundings, cats get a chance to leave their kennel and wander around.
We’ve left our cats here twice! They do an amazing job and always send updates with photos of the cats. One time, our kitten was fresh out of an emergency surgery and they were able to last-minute plan a space for him where he couldn’t climb and rip stitches. I was SO impressed with them!
Kitty Cat Hotel was such an amazing find for us and our cat, Sammy! They were so accommodating even when we had to make a last minute booking. They sent us pictures of our cat during her stay and were so kind in all of our communications with them. When we arrived, our furry girl was relaxed and well taken care of. Would recommend! :)
Wonderful experience here with the hotel and the owner. Picture updates, flexibility with our travel schedule and lots of compassionate care for their kitty hotel “guests”! The rooms for the animals are spacious, clean and calm (I would know, because at pick-up I sat inside one for quite awhile, waiting for our girl to settle down). The owner and her husband are amazing and fabulous and so thoughtful - you can tell everyone receives so much love and care when they’re boarded there 🐈. My “shy” fail foster even came out of her shell there and didn’t want to leave! Definitely recommend. 5 stars!!! Give them a try if you want peace of mind and confidence in your fur friend’s care while you’re out of town. Awesome place 💝 good people.
This is the only place I will leave my cats, Molly and Rolly! Trish and Colleen take extra good care of them, and give extra snuggles when the kits need them. (And occasionally serve breakfast in bed!) Hands down the best place to board your cats on the whole west coast!
The best boarding care you can get for your cat. I boarded my cat here for 2 weeks she was treated with loving care. The unit she stayed in was large very roomy. They let her out periodically to a play area. They sent me pictures of her so I see she was doing well. They are great at communicating. I could tell she was happy and had a great time. When she came home.
Trish is top notch in kitty sitting! My kitty was well taken care of and loved while he was a visitor. Trish texted me a photo and updates when I asked, too. It’s so nice to go away knowing that my kitty guy is in such great hands! I highly recommend Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel.
Our two cats have stayed at the Kitty Cat Hotel many times, but our last stay warrants an updated review! We went on vacation for two weeks and left our cats with Trish. They were happy and cared for, and we got great updates and pictures while we were gone. We flew back to Portland in mid-Jan 2024 (right in the middle of the terrible ice storm) and got stuck in Portland for a few nights because of road conditions. Trish was so nice about our delay and let us extend our stay. When we finally got back to Eugene, the ice was insane, and it was unsafe to drive across town to get our cats, so Trish let us extend our stay again! And then! The ice thawed, and a tree fell through our roof, collapsing our ceiling. Trish was, again, amazing and understanding and allowed our cats to stay even longer while we worked through the disaster and patched up the ceiling. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her, and I cannot say enough good things about Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel. The facility is clean, and the rooms are fun, and our cats are comfortable and always return home happy. The Kitty Cat Hotel is a phenomenal place to care for your cats, and you never have to worry -- they are well cared for and loved here! Thank you Trish, you are the best! 😊
I'm a first time pet mom to a one year old kitten. He and I are extremely bonded and I was incredibly nervous to leave him for the entire month of winter break. Trish was so wonderful and sent me regular updates, and he was cared for beautifully. This is now my go - to shelter when I have to leave town.
The place was great. Appeared clean and well set up. My cat had never been boarded before so I was really nervous about leaving him. I received a few pictures throughout the week and updates which appreciated. When I picked him up the process was easy and he transitioned back home better than expected. All in all a positive experience.
We were nervous about boarding our senior cat for the first time. The people here were kind enough to send a couple of text updates about how our cat was doing while we were out. Price was very reasonable and the enclosures were much nicer than the metal cages with towels that some of the other boarding places were using. If we ever need to board our cat again this will be my first stop.
Linda is super polite and welcoming. The setup is impressive, organized, and clean. I felt really at ease leaving my kitty here. He stayed for 12 days. They have an entire room to themselves and you have the option to have an available catio for ur kitty as well. I would definitely use Linda's services again and absolutely recommend taking your fur baby here for boarding. Seriously though, you won't regret it. 🥰
Very nice. Cat did well and they have catios for the cats. Kinda is a very sweet kind lady. It’s out in the country but close to north Eugene and very peaceful for the kitties with birds to watch.
Love it that my cats can be outdoors all day if they want to. Linda takes good care of our Rockefeller and Juniper
Linda and Shawn took really good care of our cat! They were very friendly and so accommodating even though I had scheduling issues. Inn is clean and the cats have their own indoor and outdoor spaces! My worries were at ease knowing that our cat is in good hands with them. Highly recommend them!
Absolutely love Linda's. Each cat has its own cat run with different level perches outside and lots more inside. Every one has a window for bad weather days. It's the only place I take my cat when I need to board him.
Linda took wonderful care of our cats, and her love for animals shows. The facilities were spacious, with lots of safe and controlled access to the outdoors. Will gladly board our buddies here again in the future.
This place is awesome! Linda is a sweetheart and their set up is great for cats! It’s super affordable compared to other pet inns and super convenient since its close to the airport as well! Been there 4 x and will continue to !
My cats are always well take care and that gives me peace of mind
Linda is kind and really cares about the cats. Her prices are surprisingly low so tip her well.
Linda is the best and I wouldn't take my cat anywhere else
We were so nervous to leave our pup for the first time. We were gone for five days and Rooster came back happy and healthy and in good spirits. We couldn’t be happier with the treatment he received at orchard point. They were very patient with us as we asked for a ton of photos and updates, and our pup was able to run and play and snuggle with all the trainers. Great experience. Serious peace of mind for our family! Now we feel we can go on vacation worry-free, will 💯 be boarding with them next time. Thanks guys!
We are so happy with our experience with OPK! It was our first time leaving our 4 month old high energy puppy so we were nervous but he came home happy and healthy. We loved how often they sent pictures and videos throughout his stay and it was clear they took good care of him!
This was Hoss's first time here while we went on vacation...it was so nice to know he was in good hands! The app to communicate with staff is wonderful and they also sent update photos for all of his adventures! Hoss will be back!! He loved it!
I can’t thank the team enough at Orchard point kennels. Our puppy hula is absolutely treated like royalty and you can tell everyone at the facility loves animals. For hula this is a home away from home and anytime I take her or anytime I pick her up. She’s always so happy. Thank you for always taking care of her. Highly recommend.
Orchard Point has taken such good care of our two dogs, Max and Stella each time we have left them in their care. We have boarded them for a weekend and also dropped them off for day visits. The pups really enjoy spending time there, and we appreciated the photos and updates when they were there overnight.
My pit mixes Scooby and Nilla go here for training, and Ryan our trainer is just the best. He took time during our evaluation to get to know the full dynamic of our dogs and situation. We had our first lesson yesterday for Scooby and it went so well scooby got set up on the E-collar and we are starting our journey. Scooby has worked with over 4 different trainers in Texas and one here at a different facility unrelated to Orchard point Kennel. All that to add stats behind the statement that scooby is not an easy dog to work with. Ryan is the best we have worked with. Orchard point kennels is the best we have worked with.
Just picked our boy up today after his first time staying in pet lodging and he came back in high spirits and being his goofy self! Just booked his next stay. Featuring photos they sent us!
Douglas (my dog) and I are huge fans of OPK’s Barks and Rec! I’m very protective and particular about who I’m willing to leave Douglas with and this place exceeds even my highest expectations. All of the handlers are knowledgeable, experienced, and have an apparent and sincere adoration for the dogs there. They’re intentional about the playgroups they put him in and closely monitor them, which means that he can have consistently positive experiences and I can move through my day knowing that he is safe, attended to, and having a blast (evidenced in part by the very cute pictures they send me and his determination to stay there when it’s time to go home). Perhaps one of the best qualities of OPK– in addition to the way they love Douglas deeply – is that they don’t let him get away with bad manners! We are still in our early days of training so it’s important to me that the rules they expect him to follow are consistent with the rules I expect him to follow at home and they deliver. If I could dream up a perfect daycare, this would be it. And if you’re still not convinced that OPK is a special place, just spend any amount of time talking with the people there. A+ 1000/10
I am so happy to have found Barks And Rec to take my dog to for exercise and socialization. I rescued my dog Toby four years ago at about six months of age. As we both got older, he became more and more difficult for me to handle. My family was concerned he would knock me down and that I could break a hip. I did some research and found Mandy and Ryan. They had a boot camp for dog training and also a dog rescue for unwanted dogs! Their whole family was dedicated to bettering the lives of unfortunate dogs. ❤️ So off went Toby to bootcamp at age 3. His training was a success, he came home knowing what to do and how to listen, but I was not able to give Toby the exercise and socializing he needed. He became more anxious with a nervous energy over time. The time came that Toby and I had to move so to make it easier for all concerned, Toby went to board with Mandy and Ryan. That’s when I found out that they were opening Barks and Rec and expanding their dog boarding and daycare at Orchard Pointe Kennel just outside of Eugene. Toby now goes to daycare 3 days a week. He loves it so much. Just after a couple of months he is a different dog already. He’s calmer, and doesn’t seem anxious anymore. Toby and I are so blessed to have found Mandy, Ryan and family, and those that help run Barks and Rec. When we pull into Barks and Rec and as soon as Ryan takes him out of the car, Toby is so happy. As they walk away, Toby calmly walks by Ryan’s side and looks up at Ryan with his tail up and loosely wagging and never looks back…..
Recently I took a job that requires long hours, my heart was breaking thinking about my sweet Lilith home alone, no activity or interactions. When I first started the search for puppy daycare we went to a location down town, she was not qualified for their program, they explained she did not like to go into a crate and her size was a little intimidating. She is a large breed dog, that carries a bad reputation (Rottweiler). I was afraid she would not qualify for any puppy day care program, then we found OPK. Ryan, Mandy, and Jonah have been great, answering all of my questions, putting me at ease, and letting me know that Lilith will be well taken care of. Lilith has only been going to OPK for a short time, the first time she was hesitant when I dropped her off, now she gets so excited, she is always so prancing around when Ryan takes her in the mornings. I could not ask for better care for my pup, the location is beautiful, the staff is fantastic, and I know Lilith is living her best life while she is there.
Our chihuahua-beagle mix rescue dog is a bundle of nerves. We’ve lived in Eugene for a decade and only found Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel last year. Our dog is always happy to arrive and in good spirits when we pick her up. Bonus: It’s near the airport, making trips easier.
Willamette Valley took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. It was the longest we have been away from our dogs. The staff was incredibly caring and sent photos while we were away. The pricing was also very reasonable. We would highly recommend Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel!
Great safe, trustworthy and clean place for your dog with consistently good service! We’ve been boarding our dog here for 2 to 3 years now. Our boy always comes back happy and clean. Last time we dropped our dog off, he couldn’t get in fast enough, ran straight in😆. …
Well cared for, walked and played with each day (costs a little extra - but the Nature Walk each day gave an active dog reprieve from the kennel, and much loved handling by humans). Lina and Sarah answering phone are reassuring and wonderful people to have one’s pet with. Just a great place for our dog, and we ended up leaving him longer than anticipated, which was no problem with the wonderful staff at Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel!! THANK YOU SO MUCH♥️
Great experience! My dog came home happy, clean and tired. We were able to set up his room and see the facility. Staff was so friendly and kind. We will definitely be back!
Tug Boat is a 150+ lb. Bullmastiff who does not get excited about anything, other than his food. That is, until we boarded him at Willamette Valley Cat and Dog Motel. This is his second time being boarded, and as soon as we pulled up he immediately got excited when he realized where we were. Tug Boat now has TWO things in life that excite him: Food and being boarded at this kennel. The staff are excellent, the animals are well-loved and Tug Boat highly recommends it for your pet’s vacation destination!
This place is fantastic! The staff were so helpful and patient with all our questions before the boarding, and all our changes during the boarding. Our dogs came out happy and calm after spending 6 days at the Motel. :) And they will board your cats as well!
First time leaving my dog here and I must say it was a pleasant experience overall. The staff is amazing and my dog was well taken care of. When I came to pick him up he didn’t seem like he wanted to leave; I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to board their pet.
Wonderful caring staff and clean facilities 👍 Military discount was a nice bonus and prices extremely reasonable. Was sent photos and updates during Lafayette's stay. They accommodated my dog's obsession with daily laser light zoomies which helped keep him happy and in good physical shape while I was over seas for a few weeks. Highly recommend!
Our experiences with Willamette Valley Motel have always gone well. I love that our dogs get to share a space and with room to move about. The facility is always clean and organized, the faculty is kind and communicative, and the prices are some of the best in town. It can be a bit stressful leaving your pets, but I have grown to have piece of mind leaving them with WVDCM when they can't come with us on our trips.
Chuck has been walking my elderly mother's dog for the past 9 months. What a life saver! My mom's dog is 7 years old and was not getting enough exercise or training and he had developed some bad habits and behaviors. Chuck immediately knew what to do and we noticed positive changes really quickly. Chuck uses all positive reinforcement and quickly developed a strong relationship with my mom's dog. He is kind, gentle, understanding and very professional. I can't recommend him enough. I wouldn't hesitate to have him and/or Melissa care for any of my pets.
Chuck & Melissa from Animal House Pet Sitting and Dog Walking not only took excellent care of my 96 lb. Labrador Moose, they cared & loved him like he was theirs. Besides a consistent schedule of check ins & walks Moose was given an enrichment program by continuing the training I had been working on. Moose was taken on several adventures. Chuck counted Moose’s calorie intake, offered and implemented a dietary solution to help Moose trim off a few ponds. Through an app Moose’s activity was documented and available to me; I could see how happy he was. Moose and I highly recommend Animal House Pet Sitting and look forward to using their services on my next trip!
Chuck and Melissa are top pet sitters in so many ways. They have taken excellent care of my kitties on three trips so far. They promptly communicated their visits to me as I traveled, so I could relax and enjoy my trip. They use a platform for communication that has a detailed checklist of pet sitting tasks, as well as providing a supplemental account and photos of the visit. My friendly cat bonded to them, with lots of play and pets. My super-shy cat even came out to say hello.
Chuck and Melissa are wonderful! My fearful little dog warmed right up to them, they provided pictures and great care while I was away! Highly recommend!
These two wonderful people are the absolute best. They have been taking care of my two cats for about 6 months or so, and I am over the moon with their professionalism, caring and willingness to "be me" when I'm gone. I will continue to use them and recommend them to my friends and cat sitting clients (Yes, I do private sits for cat lovers only). Thank you, Chuck and Melissa, for caring so much.
Chuck and Melissa watched my pups and my cats for me while I was away on vacation. They provided updates throughout the day that were detailed with some of the most adorable pictures anyone has captured of them! They were well cared for and loved and I got to have a worry free vacation. They went above and beyond to care for them and when we got delayed on our trip back they were able to do extra visits on short notice. I highly recommend!
Chuck and Melissa are superb pet sitters/dogwalkers! They are reliable, warm, organized and fun, not to mention great photographers who will send you adorable updates of your pet having the time of its life! My girl, Teddie the Porcelaine Hound, adores them and makes special noises just for Chuck, unlike anything I have heard. You can relax and know your pet is in capable, trustworthy hands. Highly recommended!
Chuck and Melissa are wonderful! They have done an amazing job walking and caring for our energetic dog. Communication and reliability have been top notch. Highly recommend.
Chuck and Melissa, thank you so very much for taking such good care of Sam & Charlie.Your professional, yet loving visits with them helps me tremendously. Feel free to use me as a reference.
We’ve been taking our dog to Tall Oaks for a couple months now and have been so happy with them! He comes home happy and exhausted, the staff is always so friendly and the most important thing: our dog loves Heather and Sam and loses his mind when he sees them each week. It’s nice to know we have somewhere for our high energy pup to go without stressing about whether or not it’s a good experience for him. Thanks Tall Oaks Crew!
I’ve been sending my senior pup (14 years old) to Tall Oaks for over two years now! She absolutely loves it there, and always receives the best care! The employees are extremely dog savvy and conscious of interactions, so I never need to worry about my dog having a bad time or over-exerting herself. As soon as she realizes where we are going, she starts barking in excitement in car! I cannot recommend Tall Oaks enough!!!
I don’t recommend this location due to a negative interaction with the owner. It did not work out to send both my dogs for ongoing visits to Tall Oaks due to the expense. They are totally reasonable in price, but it wouldn’t work out for me with multiple dogs. Completely my mistake. I decided to hold back on bringing my dogs in, and the owner offered to refund my credits paid for the day. Instead, she ignored me when I asked nicely many times about when she would provide the refund (emails, phone call, texts). I offered multiple ways to provide the refund (Venmo, check, PayPal, etc.). She ultimately just ignored me, or made odd comments in response. I would have brought my dogs in for the day if I’d known she was going to just rip me off for 60$. Very rude considering she offered to give the refund, and the service was never utilized.
It has been a year since my last review, but I wanted to update, since I now send TWO dogs to Tall Oaks. Daycare days are the BEST days, if you ask my pups. It may seem, at times, that there are a lot of dogs (a concern mentioned by someone else), but Sam (incredibly compassionate, skilled dog handler) and Heather (impressively knowledgeable and caring owner) are pros and know exactly how to handle the dogs so that they remain safe and are thriving in their environment. I deeply appreciate the level of care they provide to my treasured family members.
My puppy has an amazing time every time she stays with Tall Oaks. I know that she is well cared for and is having a great time running around with other dogs. She comes home tired!
Tall Oaks Dog Resort LLC is one of the few places in Eugene Or that takes perfect care of your pup. Professional care is constant, reliability is never a problem, and response is always provided. Our labs always come back breathing hard (from the enjoyable day of planned activities), and happy, after a day or night at Tall Oaks Dog Resort. Both dogs are always in a hurry to get back to the kennels. Tall Oaks Dog Resort is a wonderful place to leave your dog for the day, or a couple nights, guaranteed. Enjoy vacation (or a day off) while always knowing your dog will have the best time!
My dog Lila has had three fantastic experiences at Tall Oaks, including day care & overnight boarding. The whole staff is fantastic. I love their doggie transport of picking Lila up from our home and driving her back. Lila is a large high energy two year old, and she gets to run free in lots of beautiful space and play, romp all day. Heather, the owner, took special time helping me navigate the electronic system to reserve time at Tall Oaks. Cathy & Bobby who live their have literally taken Lila into the soul of their hearts 💕. Kristin who has taken care of Lila the most is one of the most compassionate dog lovers I’ve ever met. She’s gone the extra mile for Lila in too many ways to count. Suffice to say she’s fantastic, & I highly recommend Tall Oaks Dog Resort, Disney World for dogs.
So grateful to be able to go on vacation guilt free, after moving to the Eugene area and discovering Tall Oaks! My girl comes home so happy and worn out every time I have her stay at Tall oaks, and loves all of her friends there so much! The staff is super kind. And it is lovely to get photos while on vacation of my puppy looking just has happy has I feel when I am away having fun. Which never leaves me to worry about my sweet heart! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who needs a little extra help.
Not a good first impression. AVOID THIS PLACE Everything looked good online and I talking on the phone and via email to Heather, the owner. Made an appointment to come see the place. Did my due diligence of sending all required documents and vaccine records and required antigen tests so I thought this is the place! The website looks good but you need to do an in person visit. She (Owner) very responsive online. Came out today and left with the most uneasy and unwelcoming impression by the person I met today. Started off with: Are you dropping off or what" "I didn’t know you were coming". "It would have been nice if she, Heather, would have told told me”. It didn’t get any better after that. The worker seemed disgruntled and it came off as super passive aggressive. Too many dogs for one person to handle. There are a lot of dogs for a small space. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The area is too small for the amount of dogs she boards at one time. This place has a bad vibe. Bottom Line: unwelcoming, overcrowded, not enough help, flaky owner. I would not leave my dogs at this place! The kicker: I wrote a final email to the owner letting her know of my experience. Her reply was: "call me"! Yeah-if I were an owner of a business my reply to this would not be "call me" it would be me reaching out to the potential client. That's pretty much what I need to know! FLAKY and unreliable!
Frances has been attending daycare twice a week for almost 2 months and life would be much sadder without this amazing option. She loves it so much and comes home happily exhausted. So good for both pup and her human! Heather is always responsive to any questions or concerns. You can tell she wants the best for the dogs in her care. And the shuttle service is such a blessing! Thank you, Heather and staff!
