Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
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 $25 per visit, 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!
So so so happy we found Wolfies Pet Resort 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 thank you very much for taking such great care of our Mr Willoughby and for being so personable and friendly! He had a ton of fun! See you again 🚘☺️❣️ …
My search for a good pet resort to leave my dogs with ended when I found Wolfie's! I am very picky as to where I leave my dogs. It's a great feeling to know that your dogs are safe and well taken care of when you are away. Jen is awesome and kind with the dogs, she provides a beautiful area for the dogs to have a lot of outdoor time and be able to run free while being safe. The kennel area is very clean and nicely organized. I love seeing updates of my dogs on her facebook page while I'm away from them! I highly recommend Wolfie's! It's truly a home away from home. Lucy and Seymour each give Wolfie's a thumb's ( paw) up!
This kennel goes above and beyond. We took our senior dog there for almost a decade. It is the cleanest kennel with the best set up. Jen and Kerry give each pet extra love! Lots of space to run and play. I would not trust my dog with anyone else.
The owner is awesome to deal with. The whole set up is well thought out with areas to separate or include the dogs. Lots of room for them to run around. It is way cleaner than I would expect. More importantly, our two dogs go insane once they know where we are headed. They love it! As soon as they are there, they forget about us. The dogs come back to us clean. Which is awesome too. It's the best one we have ever used.
Wolfie's Pet Resort is awesome! Jen and Kerry are the best! They truly care about every dog they care for.
Great kennel, friendly and accommodating. Loved the daily updates. Our King Charles dogs didn’t want to leave when we picked them up which is a good sign.
10/10 really pleased Molly and Zeus enjoyed , I felt at ease to leave my dogs in the care of Wolfies and would definitely recommend to people in the future.
Highly recommend this place for times when your fur baby can't go with you. They are excellent at taking care of your dog making sure they have fun as well.
Our puppy has never looked so cute! Great experience & highly recommend.
The owners are amazing to deal with and my pups always such a wonderful time!! Highly recommend ☺
I boarded my dog last minute during Christmas for 4 nights. I was initially nervous because my dog can be anxious around new surroundings and new people, but Love Your Pet made me super comfortable leaving her there and I loved the update report cards every night on her. It gave me a peace of mind to see a photo of her and to know that she is happy. They can also provide updates if you text them too. Will definitely continue to use their boarding services in the future.
My dog just started going to love your pet a few weeks ago and she loves it! She gets so excited when she gets picked up and is always tired when she is dropped off. The pick up and drop off service is amazing too not many places offer this! I love the little daily report cards they send out , they're just the cutest! The staff are always friendly and respond super fast to my emails and text!
Crossfield Location We were initially worried about boarding our anxious pup, Minnie, especially with her separation anxiety and this being her first overnight stay ever, and for multiple days. But from the moment we dropped her off at the new Crossfield location, we felt reassured by the caring staff. They kept us updated on her well-being and even shared adorable “report cards” to let us know how she was doing. When we picked her up, we could tell she genuinely loved the staff and felt comfortable there, which is no small feat for an anxious dog! The following day, the office manager even reached out to check in on our experience. It’s clear that they genuinely care. We can’t say enough about how wonderful they are. Minnie will be back for another weekend soon, and we’re at ease knowing she’s in great hands!
Very welcoming and professional. Had zero worries for our dog’s first time boarding. Answer all questions and I knew that my dog was in good hands. Even got him in for a bath and now he smells amazing. Love their drop off and pick up hours especially for being from out of town. Will highly recommend Love Your Pet to anyone looking for a comfortable professional pet boarding
We brought our golden retriever to Love Your Pet in Crossfield for the first time and she had a fantastic experience! My kiddos loved receiving her daily “report card” and the picture of her letting us know how she was doing. I am also super impressed with their hours, it gave a us a lot more flexibility when planning our trip knowing we could bring her in as early as 6:30am. We will definitely be bringing her back whenever we need a great, clean and happy place for her to go while we are away!
I have boarded my dogs at Love Your Pet several times, and each visit confirms why my dogs, Steve and Sandy, are always so excited to go! They absolutely love the people there, and it's clear the feeling is mutual. The team has a special way of making my puppies feel at home ❤️. When we pick them up they're full of energy and clearly have had the time of their lives! It's the peace of mind every pet owner seeks when leaving their dogs in someone else's care. I recommend it 100%!
Great place to bring your dog! We’ve been here for boarding, daycare, and grooming and are happy with the service every time! We appreciate getting a daily report card with a picture of our dog as a way of checking in.
I sent my dog Ariel for a half day trial with Loveyourpet yesterday. This is such a great service, they pick your dog up, take them to their facility for play time and drop them off. Even with a half day my dog was gone from 9am to 3pm. My dog Ariel was tired and happy. I will for sure be using their services when needed and I was very happy with the playtime and services my dog was provided by Loveyourpet.
Love Your Pet in Crossfield has been providing quality pet care for my dogs and cats for years. They are in a brand new facility with convenient hours for drop off and pick up. The dogs have stayed many times for overnight care during vacations and they are always well cared for and happy. Constance and her staff are amazing, always available and always prompt with bookings and communication. The onsite staff take great care of the doggos and somehow manage to cope with Ollie's extreme energy levels (they get 5 stars just for that!) My cat sitter Rose takes very good care of the kitties. She always lets me know things are going well and occasionally she has let me know when something didn't seem right. I trust Constance and her staff with all my fur babies and because of that trust I can go on vacation and not worry, which for me is priceless.
I have been using LYP for daycare and occasional boarding for my pup for over 3 years now. Murphy loves going and is completely exhausted and happy by the time he gets home. The convenience of pick up and drop off is a great feature! I have recommended their services to others as well.
My Dog Roofus is 15 so boarding him is always a worry when he's as old as he is. These ppl are true animal lovers the owner even let him stay in the house special kennel. They groomed and bathed him aswell. I can't say enough good things about this place they are AAAA.
I had the pleasure of visiting this place and was taken on a tour. The care that is given to the animals here, is above and beyond any place I've ever been to. If I could have been the person to adopt the most passionate dogs there, I would have in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I am unable to at this time, as I have two cats already. I met with the owners and the staff and they have the biggest hearts for these animals. It was truly an honor to have had the opportunity to meet with them and to see firsthand the care and love for each and every pet there.
Very friendly owners, groomed our two behemoths of dogs very nicely, and treated the dogs well while doing it. Pricing was incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend for pet grooming. Plus they have adorable cats in the front office to make friends with!
Staff is super friendly. Our dogs had a great time and came back clean and very happy. Prices were very reasonable, and staff were excellent communicating with us while we were away.
Used to take my small breed here for boarding - he loved it. Today took my shepherd/husky mix for a visit & a nail job. Great reception & great service. Always.
Love the staff and they took great care of our senior dog. He even came home clean and bathed. Reasonably priced as well!
Have not been there for quite a few years. We had two dogs that loved going there. They would get excited driving down the hill. The staff was friendly and the prices were fair. Whenever I showed up to get them they were always busy playing with the other dogs. The place could have been a little cleaner but as long as our dogs were healthy and happy they will get good reviews from me. We dont have dogs now but I would trust this place again.
I've been taking my pets to this establishment for over 10 yrs and the owner treats every pet as her own. She really truly loves animals and cares for them all. My dogs love going to see her❣
Amazing place to board your pets, Barb is such an amazing person as well as her staff. They really care about your pets well-being, worth the drive from Calgary too.
Great place to bring pets. Very caring owners and employees. Animals are in great living conditions. Only warning is if you have a skittish dog, there is a gun range nearby. So gun shots can be heard.
First time at High Tails and very very happy. I was a bit skeptical because the suites are separated by chain links which the dogs haven’t had before. But rest assured they make sure they ensured us that they will be safe and with other dogs your pets are compatible with! Our two pups boarded here for about 18 nights, and they monitor the dogs well. They fed our dogs well too while other boarding places always had leftovers. They fit them in for a groom as well before pickup! Dogs came home super exhausted and have been sleeping all day. I can tell they had SO much fun! Thanks Dawn, Brianna, and London!
Private off leash is what we always visit High Tails for. We like that they offer booking times in 15 min intervals. - Bathroom is indoors which is nice, but you have to leave dog park to use it. - Park benches in park! - Lots of trees and bushes for the pups. However, we find the price is a bit expensive for what they offer compared to other private parks. - Smaller park area. - Poop bags holders are usually empty - so we bring our own. Good park! Will be repeat customers!
Love this place, have been taking our two big dogs there for 4 years now - both boarding and poodle haircuts. They do an amazing job with our husky for his deshedding - no hair for a few weeks!
Rented the private off leash area. I adopted a dog who is scared of other dogs. It was so nice to have a place for her to run off leash. My other dog loved it as well. The trees and bushes gave them areas to explore and shade. Private, and secure so I could just relax and enjoy my dogs without needing to worry about other dogs. It was clean, and easy to access.
Brought our Moose to high tails for his second grooming today. As a first time dog owner of a breed that needs regular hair trims, I was nervous to make sure I found the right place. We took him for his first wash and tidy when he was only 5 months old. But today he had the full groom! As a 6 month old pup, I’m sure he was a handful. But he was happy to go with them, and always leaves happy! I am so happy I found high tails right off the hop, so he could have a positive experience with grooming right from the start!
I have used their boarding services twice now and we love it! My dog gets very excited going there! Debbie and the personnel takes great care of the dogs and they are very helpful! I am so thankful and happy I found them!
I'm so glad I found this place! One of my dogs is reactive and can't go to the off leash parks in the city. Their off-leash oasis is perfect, tons of space, fully fenced in and plenty of shade. Their booking system is easy to use and it's affordable. I will definitely be coming back!
Our dog loves this place, and we are worry free every time we've dropped her off. Shout out to the staff for taking pictures and posting them on their Facebook page for us to see our girl 😍. It's worth every dollar & and highly recommend! …
High Tails Pet Resort has truly exceeded our expectations in providing top-notch care for our beloved puppy. From the moment we dropped off our dog to the day we picked him up, the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. The facilities at High Tails are immaculate, with spacious and comfortable accommodations for each dog. It's evident that cleanliness and hygiene are top priorities, creating a safe and healthy environment for our pets. The attention to detail in maintaining a clean and inviting space is truly commendable. What sets High Tails apart, however, is the staff's genuine love and dedication to the well-being of the dogs. The team goes above and beyond to ensure every furry guest feels at home. They take the time to understand each dog's unique needs and preferences, providing personalized care that goes beyond the basics. Communication is another area where High Tails excels. Throughout our dog's stay, we received updates, including photos and notes on his activities. This not only reassured us but also allowed us to share in our dog's joy and adventures while we were away. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by High Tails Pet Resort. They have set the bar high for pet care services, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their four-legged family members. Thank you, High Tails, for making our dog's stay truly amazing and for calming my nerves leaving our puppy for the first time.
We brought our dog here for 10 nights and were not impressed at all. First, when I contacted them via email, they asked me a lot of questions. I mean a lot. I wrote back and answered them all in great detail. Then, the morning we brought our dog in to go on vacation, it was a really terrible experience, to say the least. The lady that greeted us speaks way too fast and acts like a military drill Sargeant. Our check-in took a ridiculous amount of time. It was just over an hour and was filled with a ridiculous amount of questions, many of which I had already answered in my initial email. Stand here, put your dog here, do this, hold your dog. Wow! The check-in and questioning was in a very small room, very hot, and smelly with no ventilation. The check-in hours are very limited, and they make everyone else wait outside in line as they do one checkin at a time. The process is done in an extremely disrespectful manner, in my opinion. The discomfort, redundant questions, tone in which they talk to you, and no respect for your time at all. I can only imagine how our dog got treated after we left. For the prices they charge, you would think they would have a little bit more respect for their paying clients. We will NOT be returning here again. Please consider a different place. We still feel guilty for leaving our dog here.
Heavenly house sitting is the best place to your pet. Nanny Tanis treats every pet as her family members, she is very knowledgeable to train your pet & make them feel confident with her also. My dog is a coward and nervous boy, he refuses to get close to any strangers & dogs and take very alert always. But Tanis take excellent care of him even make him open heart to makes friends with other dog. Lovely photos & videos keep updates my boy’s situation. I really appreciate for her warm & lovely home place for dog’s stay, better than other pet hotel just locked them all days & makes dog feel isolated, highly recommended Nanny Tanis Heavenly house sitting.
Having Tanis watch our pup while we are away on vacation or working out of town puts our minds at ease knowing he is in such great care! Our dog is always happy with her. Tanis keeps in touch by sending us lots of pictures and videos. She also went above and beyond by taking our dog for grooming as we didn’t have time. Tanis is good at communicating and is responsive to messages and questions! She is awesome and I highly recommend Heavenly House sitting and pet care!
Tanis is the most amazing women to care for your fur babies. Not only how she cares for them, also tranes them. I have two Dachshunds whom she cares for when I go on a road trip. She absolutely loves them. I'm so comfortable with my babies in her hands. She also took my little guys to the vet for me for their neutering, and their shots, as one of many of her services she provides. Also she has live in pet services, security checks on your home when you are gone away from your property. Tanis also has has a service with her daughter if you need your Cat looked after. I am blessed to have found this wonderful women to care for my little skunks while I am gone. I travel alot to Saskatchewan, she loves caring for my Charlie and Sam. I really am truly blessed to have found her on a Google search. The best search ever❤️👌
Tanis is an absolute GEM!!! We recently moved from Edmonton to Airdrie and I was on the hunt for a great dog sitter. I stumbled across Heavenly House Sitting on google. I had a meet and greet with Tanis and you can just tell she takes care of all these doggies just like they are her own!! When we were away for Christmas my bulldog had a reoccurring bad sore on her leg and Tanis called me and asked if I would like her to take her in to the vet to have it looked at. I agreed that it was a good idea and she went and stayed with her through it all. She truely gives her heart and sole to all these pups! I highly highly recommend her if you are on the hunt for a great doggie sitter!!! Oh and I recently found out they are also offering Kitty drop ins now!! :-)
Tanis is a gem! I’m so lucky to have her to look after my dog Markus for the past 5 years. Markus literally runs out the door of my car when we arrive to her place and doesn’t look back. So excited to see Nanny Tanis. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Tanis has always looked out for the best interest of my dog and his reaction to her proves that :) She also is fantastic on helping me drop him off for his appointments at the groomers and vet. Don’t hesitate leaving your pet at Tanis
I found Tanis to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for dogs. I found her when I couldn't find a sitter in Calgary and have used her services several times. She does a meet and greet session before taking your pet in to get to know your pet. She is very caring and we can have peace of mind when we are away. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her too.
Tanis is amazing! I needed someone on short notice and she responded right away and came over to meet my pup and chat before she took him for the night. She even picked him up and dropped him off! She is also amazing with drop-ins, I work out of town some days for long hours and I can always count on her to let my boy out and give him a snack, playtime and cuddles! (Bonus: She even did my sink full of dishes!) My 1 year old pitbull Buddy can be a handful but she is so so good with him and he really loves her. I couldn't believe how good Buddy was when she brought him home! She sends me pictures/videos and updates while she's watching him and I completely trust that my beloved dog is in good hands when I'm away. She definitely has a passion for dogs and it shows through her work. Fully 100% recommend wish I could give a higher rating than 5!!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience entrusting Ceci, my tiny Yorkshire Terrier, to Ms. Tanis during my family's four-week international trip this year. You can tell she's a true dog lover! Ms. Tanis demonstrated exceptional care, creating a warm and inviting environment that immediately put my dog at ease. She shared regular updates, including photos and videos, and kept me reassured and connected throughout my travels. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Tanis to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dogsitter — she exceeded all expectations, providing peace of mind and a fantastic experience for both me and Ceci. I always share her contact with friends who ask for a dogsitter reference and she'll be the first one I reach out to next time I need support on caring for Ceci while I'm away.
I had to go out of town for a few days for my Mom's funeral. My medium size dog, Boo Bear has a problem with traveling long distance in a car. He won't eat and he gets very stressed. Tanis was great. Boo Bear warmed up to her and I was able to go to the funeral without worries. I will be using Heavenly House again. I also heard they also will accept cat drop offs. I will be letting my friends know , so they can also be worry free when they need a pet sitter!!
I have known Tanis for seven years and have referred people to her. She is wonderful with the dogs and caring. The dogs always come first I cannot believe somebody would say such mean and rude things about her and her business. It is very very sad to slander somebody like that.
This place is honestly amazing. Easy to sign up and book. We've only used the Enchanted Forest and our babies were soooo happy! The forest is really nice and well maintained. It is adjacent to the agility area but they've put up some nice blackout material so the dogs in either area cant see each other. There is one area at the southwest corner of the forest that is not blocked that dogs could maybe see through.. and the entrance vestibule isn't blocked just so others are aware. The forest has a really cool little 'fort' made of branches for dogs to explore and a picnic table for humans to relax. No gaps noticed in fencing.. but if you have a really small dog may want to keep an eye on them. One possible improvement would be to block or partially block the entrance vestibules just to help avoid incidents, but that is the only complaint really!
The first time I took my Ben (a great dane) to the Place 4 Paws, I called ahead of time and explained his reactive issues (he's not aggressive, just afraid of everything it seems) to make sure they would be okay with him being there. When we arrived, Cody was there and Ben didn't want any part of him or being in the building. Ben was afraid and unsure. Cody suggested we go upstairs to a large, indoor room where Ben could be a little more at ease. I stayed there for about 40 minutes with the both of them and Ben still wanted very little to do with Cody even though Cody had treats! After I left, I learned that Ben warmed to Cody and Cody has the patience of a saint. It took Ben about two or three hours before warming to Cody and allowing him to even pet him. Cody was so wonderful to let Ben take his time in getting comfortable. Fast forward to now - Ben is in the kennel as I type this. We arrived at the kennel, he ran into the room, said hello to everyone and was super happy to be there. They opened the doors to put him outside while I grabbed all his stuff and he ran through the kennels of other dogs without any reaction or even acknowledgment that they were there! THAT is success! I am so very grateful for all they have done for and with Ben. Cody runs an exceptional facility with the most warm and welcoming staff and are very understanding of dogs, their issues (they aren't all perfect) and I will kennel Ben there every single time I go away!
We had our pup in the "enchanted forest" and it was a wonderful experience. As she is slightly reactive, it's not every day she gets to run and explore to her hearts content in an off leash setting. The park was clean and secure. Double gated with security cameras at the entrance for peace of mind. Plenty of parking and very private. Will be booking one of these again in the future. Looking forward to it 🙂
The Place 4 paws is amazing! Jordyn and Erika take such good care of our Zeke. We feel so comfortable taking him there! We have tried out other places in the area and none of them compare. He’s always so excited to see them! We take him to daycare once a week and use the off leash play areas at least once a week! We are only sad they don’t do boarding anymore, we 100% support their decision we just don’t think we will find anyone as good as them to take care of our pup. 10/10 would recommend, they treat your animals like their own!
The enchanted forest is wonderful. Nice little glade of poplar trees gives enough room to run and explore. Fully fenced, so no risk of dogs getting away, and private, so you don't need to worry about poorly socialized dogs. Only downside is the parking lot, but they were doing work on last week (Sept 2020) months might not be an issue going forward.
We use the fenced off leash areas here with my parents' dog as she is working through some issues that don't allow her to go to the normal off leash. She loves running with us through the trees and trying to find us hiding. All the areas have provided us with things to do with her and she is tired out by the time we head home. It is great to be able to access this.
The enchanted forest is such a great, clean, safe place for our dog to run with friends! There is a picnic table in the enchanted forest for the humans. Also a great spot to practice recall. We haven’t tried the other parks, but look forward to trying the agility area.
My girls are very reactive and I cant take them to public offleash parks. We come here almost every morning. Our favorites are the enchanted forest and the adventure park. The girls love their runs in the morning, chasing after a ball or a stick. The parks are free of doggy- poo, which is great because one my girls like to eat poo. We can say, we love this place and what a great concept!
Great place. We take our dog every week day for doggy daycare
We've never used the boarding facility here, just the fenced off leash areas. I do know numerous people who have used the boarding facilities and highly recommend it. The fenced off leash areas are well maintained. Good value for the cost. We've been able to cancel with minimal notice due to weather with no penalty.
First time for us and our 2 yr old Golden retrievers. The dogs were a little unsure upon arrival but soon settled right in to the group of dogs already at the kennel. Dave the owner was awesome made us feel confident we had made the right choice. Up one pick up 2 days later we knew the dogs had had a blast as the slept all the way home . Would highly recommend Gone Wild Kennels .
Exceptional care, huge well maintained outdoor spaces, clean and comfy indoors. Dave really cares for every dog that walks into his kennel like they are his own. Our dogs get excited as soon as they see the driveway for Gone Wild and come back well exercised and happy. We are always grateful that our short notice bookings are always kindly accepted.
Our dog is very active so to spend time running outside and having a chance to play with other dogs was perfect. And after meeting Dave we knew she would be in good hands. The kennels are very clean and the areas for them to run are spacious. Thank you to Dave for running such a good business and taking good care of our pup. Will definitely use his service again!
We as a family always feel great about having Gone Wild Kennels look after our dogs when we are away from home! Dave keeps us updated via the website and sending us personal emails about the health and safety of our pet! We will always use this kennel…
This was the first time we ever used a kennel service for our puppy but it certainly won’t be the last! We live in south Calgary so the drive was a little long, but it was worth it! The facility and property is beautiful. The dogs are well managed and they all respect their alpha, Dave. :) I was worried about kennelling our puppy as we had worked hard on training and didn’t know what to expect if we kennelled him but as soon as I met Dave, I knew that Ferg’s was in good hands. In fact, we just picked him up today and he has progressed even more since dropping him off two weeks ago. He doesn’t jump on people anymore and he is a much more confident, socialized dog! Can’t say enough about this place.
I was nervous about bringing my 5 month old pup to Gone Wild for doggy daycare but Dave treats her so well and she gets all of her zoomies out playing with other dogs. Dave keeps a close eye on the dogs and makes sure all the dogs are respectful. It’s so handy to have a place close by in the Bottrel area to trust to leave your dog for the day or overnight! Very clean, well kept facility with lots of space for the dogs to play
As usual, we were very happy with the excellent care and attention that Dave showed our dog, and his knowledge of dogs is appreciated as well. We've boarded our dogs over the years at Gone Wild, and just boarded our current companion Bentley (a Karelian Bear dog) with them. Also enjoyed seeing pictures on their Facebook page, while we were away on vacation. We could clearly see that he, and the other dogs, were enjoying their own vacation.
Our dog is always calm when he comes back home - no excessive barking or stressful behaviours. He is definitely a happy camper with lots of time spent outside and lots of dogs to socialize with. The place is clean and Dave takes good care of all the dogs.
Our dog Misty had never been to a kennel before and we were planning a trip overseas. Our dog trainer referred us to Gone Wild and we are glad she did! Dave's place is clean, spacious and well cared for which gave us a great first impression along with his sense of the dogs in his care. At our meet & greet Misty was given time to get a sense of the kennel and building & to meet Dave's dogs, Aden and Stone. It was nice to know that the dogs spend many hours outdoors and we were able to see Misty through Dave's posts on Instagram. Large and small dogs were kept separate and a fun photo was the gentle giant Aden in the small dog area with the little ones. It's difficult to be away from your pet and we did have a number of questions because it was our first time. Dave downplayed some of those questions but thanks to his years in this business it was still a great experience overall as we knew our dog would have ample space and socialization and most of all , be cared for. Thanks again Dave!
Our dog Leo loves Uncle Dave and playing with his friends at Gone Wild Kennels! Leo was 4 months old when he went to Dave for a long weekend. It just about killed us to leave our little one, but Dave made everyone feel like it was home-away-from-home. Now Leo goes to Dave for short trips, long trips, and just for the day if Mom and Dad are busy with work and our own play! I am so thankful we found Dave and Gone Wild.
I cannot recommend this boarding facility enough! They take exceptional care of my dog whenever we are away on vacation. My dog absolutely loves staying here, especially because he gets to play with other dogs, which keeps him happy and engaged. One of the standout features of this boarding is how accommodating they are for non-neutered dogs like mine. Unlike many places that simply refuse non-neutered dogs, they go the extra mile to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. They carefully group him with compatible dogs . This level of thoughtfulness and understanding truly sets them apart. It’s such a relief to know that my dog is in good hands while we are away. I always come back to a healthy, happy, and well-socialized pup. Thank you for the amazing care you provide!
We absolutely love this place! Our dog has been there twice and everytime he has the best time. Our first time with them we needed a last minute pickup and they came and got our pup. We've also had him bathed before pick up each time, which is amazing, especially for the car ride home. The people who work here are kind, excited about the dogs they care for and very accommodating. Our dog got to enjoy a vacation just as much as we did. They update their Facebook page everyday with pictures which is awesome to see the fun the dogs are having. I'm so glad we found them and we will continue to board our dog here!!
Such an amazing kennel. We have been using them for years and they are always extremely caring and respectful with our pup.
We have two babies that we bring here all the time. I couldn’t imagine taking them anywhere else. The staff here are always so attentive and you can truly tell that they love their job. It is worth the drive out there. Our one little guy starts whining as soon as we turn on the main road to the kennel cause he knows where he is going. They get so excited when we pull into the driveway. They must have fun cause it takes two to three days for them to get back there energy. Thanks for being such a great place for our babies.
Huge thank you for taking care of my girl for 6 nights! Ash was very comfortable upon drop off, which made me very comfortable as well. Daily photos were absolutely incredible and I will be booking Ash girl for her pawcation again! She came back happy and tired!
Wonderful group, clearly love the animals that they're caring for. The Facebook posts of photos were a lovely touch to see our dog while we were away!
I would recommend Country Tails Boarding Kennels too any and all dog owners they are great ! The staff are amazing and very friendly go above and beyond. My Dog gets extremely excited knowing he’s going there ! Lots of play time (comes back completely wiped out) and they also offer pick up/drop off services which is very convenient along with baths so he always comes back clean.
Having just moved to Calgary, I was overwhelmed with trying to find the right boarding for my dog. After talking to them on the phone, they constantly assured me that my dog would be taken care of. She can be dog selective and very anxious as this was going to be the longest she had been in boarding (we always had family members watch her). I cannot say enough about Country Tails! It was worth the drive out of town. The staff was extremely kind and understanding of my nerves and even showed me where she would be staying. Every day they posted awesome pictures of Chloe playing with other dogs and having a great time! You can really tell their love for dogs by the care they give them. When I picked her up, she was so clean and smelled great from the bath they gave her- and they even washed all of her blankets and her bed! I'm so relieved I found a reliable kennel for her when we take trips-- Thank you Country Tails!
Have 2 Australian Shepherds, traveled all over and have had them stay at numerous places. This is their favorite place to go to hands down. Other places are hit and miss after a few stays, these guys/gals bat 100% after multiple stays. Dogs get excited driving in, and come home absoutely exhausted and happy. Owners/staff are very accommodating and love the dogs and are down to earth people.
We have been using this boarding kennel for a few years now. We trusted them and our dogs enjoyed being there. Never had issues. Recently using this location has not been the best for our dog. Not exactly sure what has happened but perhaps the newer staff need more training or assistance. I can no longer trust this location with our dog.
Our two dogs got to experience a trial day here and loved it!! They were walked several times on the private trails and played with in the fenced in outdoor play area. Our one dog is a very large rottie and super playful and rumbunctious but Vic and Helen were still awesome with handling him and getting him to listen. Their kennels were large and everything was very clean. I imagine this will be a very popular place for dog owners to go to!! They provided tons of treats and were very keen to learn more about our dogs characteristics, lifestyle, and training. We are now confident in the care they will receive here during our travels in the next couple months and will likely even leave them here for daycare sometimes. Vic and Helen were very attentive and sent us updates via text including these photos!Will highly recommend them to family and friends.
Bearspaw Pet Ranch has become a fast favourite for us, especially with our pup. We would always get so nervous leaving him behind to go on trips in the beginning and then we found Bearspaw Pet Ranch and it has alleviated all of our stress and anxiety. Vic and Helen always take such great care of our dog and are always providing updates and great communication during his stay. We know our dog always has the best time there because it takes him days to recover from all the play time. We would recommend Bearspaw Pet Ranch to anyone and everyone who is looking to leave their dog in boarding, your pet is in great hands here.
Our 8 month old Golden Retriever, Gary, has stayed overnight with BPR for 3 nights so far and Vic and Helene are great with our pup! They post pics and videos so we can see how he's doing and he absolutely loves being there! He literally is barking in the truck as we get close and he can't wait to get out and play with his new friends. Thank you Vic and Helene, we(and Gary) look forward to coming back on a regular basis!
We’ve taken our pup twice now for boarding and the experience has been great! Vic & Helen have provided amazing care of our dog and are mindful of the fact that she is a smaller pup. They provide updates and post cute photos! I trust that my dog is in good hands when she stays here and have no worries.
Our dogs absolutely love spending time out here! Vic is very good with the dogs, the space is clean and the dogs get to spend lots of time outside playing! We always feel confident that they will be taken care of and have a great time for a day or multiple days!
Our German Shepherd stayed here for the first time for 5 days while we travelled to Ontario to visit family. I liked that they were responsive by email when I asked how he was doing, and that they regularly post photo's on Instagram. The owners were flexible with pickup date as our flight landed in the evening and we picked him up first thing the following morning. I do wish they were a bit more flexible with pickup times as its only until 6pm Perhaps offer a late pickup option for an additional fee? like say from 6-8pm? They live on the property so I think it would be a good idea! Location is really easy to get too its right off the 1A highway. Will be coming again.
Hettie has been going to Daycare here for a few weeks and our experience has been so positive. The facilities are beautifully clean and modern, lovely large kennels (though I don’t think she’s in there much!). She clearly LOVES Vic, and barely gives me a backwards glance as she pulls him towards the play area! She runs and plays in the secure outdoor area and it’s great to see the instagram photos of her having fun each day. When I pick her up she clearly happy, wagging and exhausted!
We absolutely love going to Bearspaw pet ranch when our puppy Soji needs sitting or an overnight stay! He gets great play time with the other dogs in the fenced outdoor running area and always comes home well exercised. Nothing but positive experiences with Vic and Helen who are always very responsive and accommodating when we need to drop off our pup at the ranch last minute! Affordable rates and quality care for our little guy - this is our go to place!
We have tried several different daycares and felt most comfortable at Bearspaw Pet Ranch because their owners made us and our fur baby Emma so welcome! They take really great care of her so we don't have to worry as new pet owners. One thing I truly appreciate is how personable both Helen and Vic were upon our first meeting. They asked us what was important for us to maintain in Emmas training such as commands, eating habits etc. I like that they don't take on so many dogs per day thus providing the necessary attention and care. Their facility is clean and Emma loves running through the field. Lots of space for fun! We have recommended their Ranch to others thus far.
We booked a trial day with Vic so he could get to know our dogs, Fred and Ruby, and understand their quirks to determine how to best care for them. We were very impressed with both the facility, and Vic’s compassion & experience with animals. We are confident that he & Helen will take exceptional care of our fur-babies during future stays at Bearspaw Pet Ranch.
