Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
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!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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, $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!
Emily is a God send for nervous fur mommas (and dads’) I’ve never left my little Ike with anyone but family, so I was very apprehensive leaving him when our entire family went on vacation together. We did a meet and greet with Emily and her fur family and I was put at ease. Throughout our vacation she sent me daily updates and pictures of Ike which made me feel so much better knowing that he was being taken well care of and loved. Her rates are more than reasonable for what she provides and I plan on using Comfy Paws for future drop offs and extended vacations. You can be rest assured that your pup will be absolutely well taken care of when they are in her care.
We had a fantastic experience with Emily - both of our dogs were well taken care of the whole time. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and tailored care to all needs she identified. I loved the regular pictures she sent - it put us completely at ease with leaving our dogs in her care. We will absolutely call her again for any dog sitting needs. Thank you thank you!!
Emily was so wonderful with my dog over the weekend! Very communicative and sent me lots of photos! It really helped me feel at ease while being out of town. I will absolutely be using her in the future.
Emily and her family are wonderful! My dog just loves her and her sweet dog. Emily takes really good care and sends pictures. She is willing to work with me and my schedule fairly and promptly. I’m so grateful to have a loving home to have my dog boarded when I’m away. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Emily was so great with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Her communication was awesome, and she even sent us pictures and videos of our dogs so we could see how happy they were. Our dogs loved their time at Comfy Paws! We highly recommend it!
Emily is a true animal lover. She understands that our dogs are our children and is happy to send updates throughout the day. My dog Josie loves to spend time with Emily and I just know she is well taken care of when she goes there. I just wish there were other dogs there for her to play with, that's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
Emily is so wonderful! I always get updates on how our pup is doing. He is so happy when he stays with her.
I am so grateful to have found Emily! From the initial ‘meet and greet’ we knew she would take excellent care of our 1 year old, high energy pup! She kept me updated constantly over our 10 day vacation and put my mind as ease to know our pup was being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who does not want to board their fur babies in a large facility, but wants to know they will continue to be loved and cared for in their absence.
Comfy Paws has been taking care of our Sadie for several months. Sadie loves to go to Comfy Paws. We know this because of how excited Sadie gets everytime we drop her off. She gets walked several times a day and she comes home tired. Picture of tired Sadie included.
Emily is a great dog minder. She’s cared for our big dog many times. We never feel guilty dropping him off with her as he LOVES going there. She’s also super responsive and great at sending pic/video updates.
Bonnie cared for our 2 dogs while we visited Yosemite. They were both super happy to be there even though they are very different personalities. Our older dog needed to be kept calm due to an injured hip and Bonnie did a great job. You can hardly tell she is injured. And our younger dog got to play to her hearts content! Thank you Bonnie for being here and providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs!
We boarded our Pitty with Bonnie just before Christmas for two nights while we explored Yosemite NP and it was a great experience. We were a little worried going in, as a few days prior to our trip stay our pup suffered a pretty bad leg sprain and we were concerned she might injure herself further during puppy play. Bonnie was awesome, and even sent us a couple of email messages during our trip to let us know that our dog was doing well, which we really appreciated.
Very impressed with the care and love. We visited Yosemite with peace of mind knowing our shih tzu was in good hands. Dog heaven
Bonnie is amazing! She took excellent care of our pup! Great price and close to Yosemite. Our pup left happy! We will use her again! She even worked with out pick up times too!
So glad to have found this place. Left my pup, Milo here for 4 days while exploring Yosemite and he had the best time in the large yard and in Bonnie's care. Bonnie made me feel so at peace with trusting my pup in her hands. Great communicator, she had everything confirmed a month out and already has our booked for the next time we are returning. Better than any kennel or dog hotel I've ever found. Thank you for everything!
We did a last moment daycare when we were visiting this area for our doggo. The owner was extremely kind & loving. She took care of our doggo Milo very well & accommodated changes in our schedule very gracefully too. We felt happy & safe leaving our doggo. We 100% recommend this place
Bonnie took great care of our Josie. About 5 or 6 dogs getting along. When it gets hot, Bonnie brings them in. Both days when we picked up the dogs were inside, not kenneled just hanging out. If you want to do something and doggie can't go, this is worth the extra time and $$.
Bonnie is a very nice, trustworthy person and you can tell she loves dogs a lot. Your pup will be in good hands with Bonnie. We would highly recommend her!
Best place to kennel your dog on Groveland/Yosemite. Bonnie takes excellent care of our dogs, been using her service for over a decade and always reliable, trustworthy, attentive and caring. Highly recommend!
Best boarding place ever. Bonnie was great and able to to get my little Zoey in on short notice. I felt very comfortable leaving Zoey there for a few days while we enjoyed Yosemite. Bonnie made the process easy and I would definitely take Zoey there again. Highly recommend Big Creek Boarding. Thanks again!
Mary has been there for us in the drop off a hat. My husband requires treatment in SF and we literally have given Mary just hours notice that we need her and she never hesitates to be there. It's nice not to have to worry about my fur babies with her. They're in excellent hands. And she sends me pics of them which cheers me up. She also goes above and beyond with specific things needing to be done at the house (specific lights on, checking mail, garbage can day, etc.) I highly recommend her services, she's been incredible.
Mary watched our 7 cats while we were on vacation, and she did an amazing job! I got pictures of all kitties each day so I could see that they were ok. I could tell that she was nice to them because in the pictures, they really liked her. They enjoyed her company very much. She also made a photo collage of each kitty for me as a nice gift. It gave us a piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her services again in the future!
Mary is the best sitter! She is very attentive, professional, affordable, and send me tons of update pictures so I didnt miss my kitty too badly while I was away.
If you are looking for a reliable and professional pet sitter. Look no further! We used Mary many, many times over several years and were never disappointed. The dog always went away with us but kitty stayed home and Mary visited daily, keeping Kitty fed and watered and loved! Sometimes we even got videos of Kitty’s play time. Although we no longer have our sweet old Kitty, we cannot recommend Mary any more highly! If you love your cat(s), you will love Mary! ♥️
We had Mary watch our cats and fish while we were gone on vacation. We are so thankful that we did. One of cat's became ill and Mary took her to vet for us, dealt with long phone calls and wait time. She kept us up to date on her condition through text messages and videos. She basically saved our cat's life and we owe her a debt of gratitude. She took special care of our ill cat and the others... We truly appreciate Mary and the service she provides...
Finding someone you trust to take care of a pet while you’re gone tends be stressful and difficult. I have a rescue cat who is a shy and nervous little guy. Because of his disposition, I didn’t want to board him and instead wanted to keep him home in a place he was comfortable and familiar with. Between his and my separation anxiety, I was really anxious about finding someone who would take care of him while my husband and I went on vacation. I am so beyond thankful I found Mary. Her initial house visit immediately put me at ease. We sat down and discussed everything, from the scheduled visits right down to every little detail. Her attention to detail and thoroughness of everything is really amazing. I wanted someone who would spend time with my cat instead of just “come to feed then leave,” so the fact there were options for the amount of time spend per visit was so appreciated. She also offered to take care of additional small tasks around the house while we were out, like watering plants and take out the trash, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. I knew she was a perfect fit when she got a few pets in from my cat — without a single treat !! I knew he was in the best possible hands. Mary was so wonderful while we were gone. She sent pictures and video updates with each visit so I could see how he was doing (the photo uploaded is one she sent me). She was communicative, responsive, and professional, and I am thrilled to have a go-to sitter whom I truly trust. I cannot recommend Mary or her business highly enough. Thank you Mary !!
We"ve trusted Mary's care for our pets for almost 2 years She's our go to person when we need a pet sitter. Very responsible and her prices for all that she does most importantly to us when we're away our peace of mind is all worth it. We would highly recommend Mary to all our friends & family.
We highly recommend Mary’s Pet Project! Mary came in twice a day for visits with our kitty, Lucy while we were away on our first get away since COVID hit. This was also the first vacation in many years that we were able to really relax because we knew that Lucy was being taken care of so well. Mary sent photos & videos & that was so much appreciated. We love that she tailored her services to our special needs. She was so great with Lucy. It was the first time that Lucy was so calm when we arrived home. Mary also took care of the neighborhood kitty that sleeps on our porch. She made certain to give our home the ‘we are at home’ look & even placed our garbage cans out. Thank you Mary for your kindness, professionalism & a wonderful pet sitting experience.We will definitely use your services again!😻
Our cat is very affectionate and likes attention and being around people at all times. She does not like being left alone. After moving to California 4 years ago, we were searching for a pet sitter. The Humane Society of Stanislaus County recommended Mary's Pet Project after hearing good things about her. She deals with all sorts of animals. My wife and I travel often, sometimes overseas, and need reliable visits to our cat. I was impressed that Mary maintains detailed files about every pet, including Vet and medication info if required. Mary texts updates, including videos of a kitty who is happy at receiving regular visits. She deals with all pet related cleaning, grabs the mail, and takes care of lights and other household adjustments. I would highly recommend her services.
Mary has been caring for our pets for several years. She is a very professional care giver. We always feel confident that she will make sure our babies are well fed and safe. She wants to know when we get home and how we found our babies to be before she finishes her job. We are very comfortable having her in our home. And, allowing our pups to stay home in their own environment is so much better than having them go to a kennel. Thank you Mary!!!!!!
This was our first time bringing our pup to Darby's Pet Paradise and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our Shepherd/Husky mix is 7 months old so we haven't had her too long but we were going on a trip for 2 weeks and wanted her to be able to play and socialize while we were gone. They were very communicative and helpful from the beginning. And PJ was so amazing with our sweet girl. It took her a couple of days to settle in but after that, she had the best time and was cared for beyond what we could've ever hoped for. We will definitely be bringing her back for any future travel and hopefully they will be doing daycare in the future as she loved playing with the other dogs there. Thanks again Darby's Pet Paradise!!!
Great place to kennel my dog. Due to overbooking in my own area and a four day convention in the Modesto area I contacted Darby`s and booked. I was not disappointed. The 1st thing noticed was a mistake made by my vet of missing a rabies vaccine. I'd been in for shots the week before. Corrections made I arrived to a very clean facility. The conclusion was a early pick-up on Sunday with the bribery of two chocolate chip cookies from the hotel I was allowed to pick-up three hours early. Great facilities highly recommend .
Vanessa did a great job in providing care for our pup. Would strongly recommend to anyone needing boarding for their dogs. The environment was peaceful and clean. Our pup was happy to be there. I look forward to taking our pup their again. Thanks!
Vanessa and Tiffany are both caring, nice and love animals. Easy reservation and flexible with your schedule.
I left my dog there this weekend and the facility was clean and organized. The staff was friendly and you could clearly see their love for animals from the way they treated our dog. I would definitely use them again. Our dig returned home happy and healthy.
Our dog Koda seemed really happy when we picked him up! It was obvious that he was well taken care of and not just locked up in a kennel. Everything was professionally done from check in to pick up! We know our pet who is part of our family was safe and well taken care of while we were away!
Boarded my 2 dogs at Darby's and one has never been boarded before. I was so worried about him but once he got here he was running around so happy. Picked them and they looked like they had a great time. Owners were amazing and took great care of my babies.
They took great care of my pet Chihuahua while I was gone for 6 days. They where even able to give me feedback on the daily behavior of my dog that matched up perfectly to how my dog behaves, that let's me know they where there daily to care for my dog. They are located in the outskirts of the city and I feel like it gave my dog a breath of fresh air. They where also able to feed my dog her snacks which keep her from going wild. Thank you Tiffany!
THE BEST PLACE FOR UR FUR BABIES I would highly recommend Darbys to anyone I called around when looking for first time boarding for my frenchie Bruno, I had SOOO many questions and most places were either rude or just short but not when I talked to Alexis she answered all my questions with so much patience, when on my vacation she kept me informed of how Bruno was doing such detailed update ( eating, potty, playtime) even sent me a few pics, something I truly needed since I had never left him before, now I know we can leave out of town and know that Bruno will be well cared for!!! Thank you again !
We had a great experience with Darby's watching our 2 dogs for us while we traveled. They went out of their way to be accomadating. Their service includes letting the dogs into the play yard several times a day and giving them anything you request (such as toys or treats you bring, or medicine if needed). We had previously had a bad experience at a different facility and were nervous about boarding again but the ladies allowed us to check in on the dogs on one of their personal cell phones, which we appreciated immensely. We will definitely be using Darby's in the future!
I drive from Reno to have "Auntie Cheri" take care of my 2 furbabies. They are always happy to see her & all worn out when it's time to go home. This is the BEST caring place EVER!🐾💞🐾 …
A Bed and Biscuit is great! Our dogs love it there and Cherie, the owner, loves dogs (and cats) and takes great care of all her guests. Kennels are spacious, well equipped, and there's lots of play time and free roam for the pooches. Plus, Cherie lives on site, a hard requirement for us. I won't leave our pets at a place that does not have someone on site 24/7. Highly recommended!
Cheri treats all the dogs like they were her own. Highly recommend bringing your pet here to try it out. We have been coming here for years, my dog is happy to go and happy when he returns home. Hours are convenient and she's flexible if you are in a bind. We get videos of our dog so that we can see all the fun he is having while we vacation. Can't say enough great things❤️
My girls have been there twice and both times they returned wagging their tails with joy.
Cheri is great with my dog. I feel good about leaving him for short playcare days or long vacations! She is also very reasonable in price. Thank you! Dodie L.
I have left my little Abby at Bed and Biscuit on several occasions. I am super happy with the treatment she recieved.she had a great time and was treated like a member of the family. I highly recommend Bed and Biscuit.
We have used this Kennel for several years. I am so sad that they can’t accept dogs over I think 45 pounds anymore. We will miss this kennel.
Best doggie day care and best place for fur babies to stay while family on short/long vacations
Cherie is wonderful! Great with our two dogs.
IT's like leaving your dogs with a family member, thank you so much. Sadie, Sam & SOPHIA LOOKED SO HAPPY IN THE VIDEOS YOU SENT ME.
I can’t say enough good things about this place! Antoinette treats each one of our dogs like her own ! She patiently takes all of our calls And provides us with great updates regarding our pet’s well being. There is a veterinary office right next store and she doesn’t hesitate to contact them for any health concerns of the pets she takes care of. She spends time with each one of our pets to gain their trust and to make them comfortable with her. We trust her and highly recommend this pet boarding facility! Judy Turpin
My doggy had such a great time he didn't want to come home. I know I can rest a sure that my KiKi is safe there at pet hotel. Had a great stay and a nice bath. Home safe and sound. Thank you Jill and Antoinette. Appreciate your care.
Our local rescue boards several dogs here regularly- Antoinette and Jill are so caring! Family owned and run.
My dog loves this place he has been boarding there now for some time. When he enters he is all wags and he happily goes right up and jump up on the counter. He is in a great mode when we pick him up too, these ladies really care for their boarders as if they were their own! I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Oh yeah just let you all know our boy is a 90# German shepherd/ Pitbull mix and so no dog is to big for them.
My cat Muffin has stayed here now for over fours years. Pat and Alice are great to work with. Great atmosphere very large and clean pens for cats with a lot of toys to play and climb on.
we left our cats here for three days, the kennels were big for them , and each one had a climbing tree. clean. Our cats will be staying here from now on. very calm atmosphere for them, thank you
Our 5 month old puppy came home with infected bloody wounds on his throat from being attacked by another dog or dogs. This was almost 2 years ago, but I still feel like it’s worth mentioning because of the severity of the injury, the negligence in caring for my puppy’s wounds, the fact that we were never notified that it had happened, how long-lasting the effects of this incident have been (permanent), and because they never acknowledged in any way or took responsibility for what happened.
I always take my dogs here. They are always so nice and take good care of my dogs
Clean pens, very friendly, and gave a good deal after hearing our circumstances. I will definitely be trusting them with my little guy again.
I love this place! Pat the owner is great. Nice safe, affordable place to watch my dogs..
I took my dogs here and i was very pleased with stacey. Her and her husband are nice people and you can tell they love animals. I will be sending my dogs to her again when needed, my dogs seemed happy to be around her and her husband. Thank you!
They are very sweet people and are great to my dog. Lots of space to run and play and well taken care of. I won't take my dog anywhere else.
We've taken our dogs to Kelly's exclusively for the past 12 years. Pat Kelly is a caring owner who really knows her dogs! The large outside runs are covered and shaded. They are always very clean.
I'm very happy with love and care Harry receives here. This is a wonderful place to board your pet!!
The Best boarding around. My doggies love Stacy.
They always do a wonderful job for us. You can't go wrong with Dolly and Mary. They are experienced and have taken care of our pets for many years.
Our dogs are big and a lot to handle and Paws Inn does ab amazing job! Our dogs can't wait to get out of the car when we pull up and they come home just as happy! They send us pictures often. We don't live there anymore but I would HIGHLY recommend!
We had to leave our 2 dogs for an extended stay (3 months) after our pet/house sitter fell through at the last minute. Our dogs were very, very well cared for while we were gone. I am so grateful for the caring staff! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we were finally able to make it back home :)
We called on a Wednesday searching for a place that could take our dog Thurs-Sat morning during spring break. Everywhere was full and the Paws Inn called us back as they had found a spot for him knowing we really needed it. They took great care of our boy and he even had another large friend to play with during his stay!
The staff was great!!!! We left our two little guys with them for 3 days. First time ever boarded them. We called everyday and they gave us updates saying they we're fine. So thanks Paws Inn!!!! Great job!! Rick and Dacy
I left my three dogs in the inn for 9 days. they took very good care of my dogs . They came out healthy and happy and they were all safe while I was away. And I have a husky who is hard to keep. Thank you paws inn
Tillie our 8 month old Lab loves it their. We do play day and over night stays 3 or 4 times a month. Recently remodeled. Indoor/outdoor kennels. Heated and cooled. Reasonable rates. Friendly staff.
Paws Inn has been nothing but wonderful, the staff is awesome and they treat your dogs as if they were their own. Their pricing is very reasonable, you can't beat it. Just all around an awesome place to take your pooch. 😊
I could get my dog washed for just 25 bucks. The help is always friendly and I enjoy going there I probably would have found it if my dog didn't have an emergency and I went to Mono that's next door. While I was waiting for my dog to get fixed up I notice assignment so I walked over there and talk to them. This is where I get my dog washed from now on
They were able to fit our puppy in for boarding during a last minute trip while our normal (in town) boarding facility was remodeling. So thankful to have thought to look in Sonora
If I could give 31/2 stars I would. When we dropped Harley off, we had a very smooth transition. When I picked him up, the girls were frazzled and kept saying it was a hectic day. I had him signed up for a bath and a nail clip. He got the bath but they forgot the nails. One girl came out and said she'd clip his nails real quick. During the clipping, Harley got a little squiggly and she pulled him, not in the nicest way, and told him settle down. They lost his blanket, and kept bringing me the wrong ones which says other owners are going to go through the same thing. I'm not sure if I'll go back. If it hadn't been so caotic at pickup, things would have been different. I walked away wondering how his stay was.
Pet Vacations has been THE BEST EXPERIENCE for our puppy Tucker since he was 6-mos-old (he's now 8-mos-old). He gets so much playtime outside with others that he would play well with (not all dogs are the same demeanor!) and gets so much attention from Owner Lindsay Stark and her staff. We are so, so happy we found a good place for Tucker to have fun with his friends and other humans besides us. Lindsay gave me daily updates for Tucker's first time and these wonderful pics. We highly recommend Pet Vacations. 🙂
I went camping 4th of July week and while I was out of town, there was an issue with where my dogs were staying and I needed immediate help. I called and explained my situation with Pet Vacations and she was amazing with helping me out last minute and during a busy week. My two dogs were in a stressful situation and I was worried about the change of location stressing them out more but I was put at ease by the text and picture updates of both my dogs playing and having a great time. They go out several times a day to play and run and even got to make new doggy friends to play with. I will never use a different boarding facility again!
We recently had Lindsey at Pet Vacations take charge of our previously never left without us 3 1/2 y/o labradoodle. She’s our baby and of course we were very cautious with who we’d trusted with her. We met Lindsey at her location and she showed us around. Mollie, our pup felt very comfortable so we had Mollie do a 24 hr complete day at the board and care. Mollie came back in great shape. Now we feel more comfortable with leaving her for a longer amount of time knowing she’ll be well taken care of. Thanks again Lindsey for your caring support and hope to see you again soon.
My dogs love going to Pet Vacations and the staff is always professional and caring. Over the years on the rare occasion when we’ve had to take our dogs to another facility, they are apprehensive, and show stress, especially if we have to take them to a place a second time. However, they are always happy to arrive at Pet Vacations and run right in the door!
Another great stay! It is so nice to go away, and know that my dog is being cared for by a compassionate, knowledgeable provider. I never have to worry about her and know that she’s being well cared for. Thank you, Pet Vacations!!!!!
This is such a fabulous place, so much room to run and play and when I’m taking Wilson here for his vacation and when we turn onto the road Wilson gets so excited cause he knows he’ll meet a friend or some friends for the time he is there. The staff is so caring and loving to him every time he stays here. This is definitely a two thumbs up from my family and especially Wilson. Thanks for your personalized caring for Gods creatures. 👍👍
First time we used Pet Vacations. We have a finicky dog and hate leaving him. The person there when we dropped him off was really good with him and made us feel good about leaving him. They let him out to play on his own instead of group play. Our dog seemed fine when we picked him up when usually he comes out wining and crying like they tortured him.
We've been boarding out pets here for at least 15 years. We know that they're well taken care of and get plenty of exercise in the doggie play yard. Lindsey has been our fairy dog-mother through a couple of adoptions. Highly recommended.
Lindsay takes very good care of all her doggies. Ours is new to kennels but does just fine there, she's been there twice now and will be going again next month.
I have two little dogs that sometimes can be difficult. I'm super nervous about anyone watching them and I could tell that they had a great time. I highly recommend this place. It really makes a difference when the owner is a true animal lover
Love this place! I started using them for doggie preschool for my newly adopted pup, and then began sending our 5 year old lab there for doggie daycare. I also use them for boarding! Susan and her staff are professional and put the needs of the dogs as their highest priority! My dogs both have separation anxiety, and even though they are scared to leave my sight, they flourish during boarding! I love how they provide updates and communicate with you about any concerns, if there is any. I feel great knowing the owners live across the street from the facility too, so they are aware of everything that goes on after-hours. Susan also runs a pet rescue: Pixie’s Dancing Paws and Pals, in which she has taken in dogs from varying circumstances and rescued them, and they are looking for their forever homes! If you are looking to adopt, look no further than this amazing rescue! If you are looking for a place with down to earth, communicative, and compassionate staff, look no further than K9’s On the Move!
When first arriving, we were greeted by very lovely staff, we handed our little guy off to them, he stayed six nights there. They did send a report card and a picture. He was very excited when we picked him up. They said that he did very good his stay. After we got him home and gave him a bath, we noticed that there was a lump on his ear and that he had a scab from the looks of it he was bit.
I was worried about boarding my dog for the first time and Susan took time to listen to my concerns and even offered to take Chip for a few hours ahead of time for an evaluation. He did great and stayed 4 full days. Susan and her staff took great care of him and were very understanding and gave me an update every time I called I received his report card with a picture of what he loves to do, be in a pool 😊 I now have a fun and safe place to take him when needed. I highly recommend this facility!!
My wife and I love it here. This is our 3rd time using them and it’s been the best experience for us and our dogs. I would highly recommend them. Till next time. Thank you K9 staff! Love Maverick and Charlie
My boys just got home from their weekend long stay at K9s on the move. And they seem to have loved it! The service is wonderful. My favorite thing is they allow the boys to stay together , just like at home.This is the longest we've been apart from them and we believe they were in good hands. On our way home from Vacation we drove by and seen them outside playing together, which gives us comfort! My frenchie did not want to leave. Thank you to the team for taking care of our boys! This is the 2nd time with you guys and won't be the last.
I’ve been looking for a good boarding place for my dog for a really long time, and all the time i’ve always felt uncomfortable, scared, & worried to leave him because my dog never likes it…. now THIS place, is absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable the second I dropped him off and didn’t even think twice, they were so kind and reassuring that my dog will be okay and they’ll keep us updated if things happen. My dog never usually eats at other boarding places and always comes back skinny, not this time!! My dog ate all his food and came back looking so happy and healthy. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I really would. It’s so reassuring knowing the owners live right in front of the boarding building just to keep a safe eye. I 100% recommend this place and cannot wait to keep bring my dog here anytime I go on vacation. Thank you so much K9 on the move 🫶🏼🫶🏼 P.S this is how happy my dog looked after his boarding, he’s never looked this smiley and energetic at another place!!
We have always had a positive experience at K9s on the Move. Our boys seem to enjoy their time there and K9s is good with our boys!
Dropped our dogs off while we traveled out of the country and I knew that they would be taken very good care of. Came back to better behaved dogs than we left them. Highly recommended!
While on our vacation our Yogi was safe and enjoyed himself here at K9 on the move. Worry free and enjoyed our time away.
(Susan Sinford) The owner is the best. I’ve been leaving my dogs under her care even before she owned K9. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Once again, thank you, Susan and Santa☺️
