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!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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"!
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!
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.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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, $21/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!
I have a difficult dog. He is mostly great but has anxiety and issues with other dogs. He is big and strong and intimidating resulting in most sitters wanting to run the other way. Render was not intimidated and was able to manage his behavior. She and Buck had a great time playing in the yard and I was able to go on vacation and not worry about him. I am relieved that we can head out for a full day or longer and have someone who will take care of him!
Our sweet girl loved Render! Render had availability for our dog on fairly short notice and even took the time to come by for a meet and greet! She sent regular pictures and videos. This was the first time leaving our puppy, so she helped us feel and ease and comfortable. She has great customer service and has a true love for animals. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you for taking great care of our dog!
The absolute best pet care I've ever had. My pup is an anxious girl and she took the time to slowly introduce her to the other pups. Came out to meet us before and was so incredibly warm and friendly. Always sends photos and updates :) plus my pup loves her. She always runs to the door to go in and she has never done that with anyone else. I'm so incredibly happy to have found render your paws :)
Render Your Paws is absolutely terrific for and with our dog Bison. It is such a huge convenience to have a company that picks up our dog and takes loving care of our dog just like our family does. We’ve learned more about our dog’s personality because of them. I would highly recommend them.
Render saved the day for us when we were unable to find pet care for our 2 cats just 24 hours before we went out of town. She responded quickly, came by for a home visit, and remembered all of the special instructions we had. We immediately felt comfortable having her in our home taking care of our beloved fur babies. Although our cats are shy and didn't come out too much, she did a great job! Will absolutely work with Render in the future.
Render is absolutely awesome!! I left my dog Lucky with her, who is a yellow Lab, & he absolutely took to liking her immediately. I love the fact that she sends videos of her interactions with the pet as well. You can tell that she really has a love for animals & that animals love her! She has the perfect personality for her business. I will definitely use her again soon.😊😊👌🏾
OMG, the ultimate pet sitter! Very flexible drop off and pick up times, constant updates during the day, and so knowledgeable. You can just tell she enjoys what does and cares so much for her furry friends! We will definitely use Render again! Thank you Render for caring for our Sunny!
Render goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. She doesn’t just come over to let my dog out. She always makes sure to play with him, give him attention, and even clean up the messes he leaves, which is certainly not something I expected! One of my favorite things about Render is how great she is at keeping you updated. I always know exactly how my pup’s outing went that day, and she even notices if he seems a bit off and lets me know. She is also very reliable, which is so important. And she doesn’t just help with dogs! She has taken care of our tropical fish tank as well. Highly recommend Render!
Render Your 🐾 is an amazing, safe, supportive and trustworthy business. The quality, communication and assurance allowed me to be at peace when my pets with Ms. Render. I have 2 shorkies they can be a handful but Render had a plan to not give up on them. The 2nd time we came they knew they were at Daycare, they were so excited it made me happy to trust my pets are in good paws while I was at work. 😊 She sent pictures on a daily of playtime which kept my confidence in her services. She even does doggy drop off if needed. Trust your pets with Render Your Paws LLC. You will not regret it. Thanks Render we will see you soon.
Render was a life saver. I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and she came through with flying colors.. She made Tiara feel very comfortable while I was away and took excellent care of her. She took all of my worries away. I would definitely choose Render Your Paws again for my pets needs and I highly recommend this business to anyone who wants their pet loved and cared for properly.
Kelli is an excellent pet care professional! She has taken such good care of my cats for almost 10 years now and I recommend her often. I always appreciate her notes to me to let me know everything is fine at home and the great love and care she provides my pets. So glad to know her!
Kelli is an incredible business owner. She is extremely trustworthy, professional, and communicative. Our German shorthair puppy is absolutely full of energy, and she gets so excited when Kelli pulls up for daycare. She always comes home exhausted and we trust Kelli 100% to care for her. Our puppy gets safe socialization, exercise, and limitless play at Leash Me Out. I would recommend this business to anyone who is looking for a trusted dog loving safe space to send their fur babies.
Kelli really cares about the pets that are in her care. Her property provides so much space for the pets to roam around without feeling cluttered.
Kelli is so awesome taking care of my puppy! I was nervous about having my puppy outside all the time, but Kelli takes care of all the dogs like they are her own. They are supervised, fed, watered, and allowed to be dogs! She even gets them to relax for a little while in the afternoons. Tired dogs are cranky! I boarded and put my puppy in daycare several times and while there are no bells and whistles, when I drop her off she can't wait to get out of the car and she looks good and happy when I come to get her. Highly recommend!
Kelli has cared for our dogs for boarding for about 7 years. They love staying with her and I feel good knowing they are safe, loved, and spoiled whenever we are out of town. I would never board with anyone else (or do doggie day care / dog walking). She has the kindest heart and a true gift with dogs.
We were traveling the east coast with our dog and we wanted to get her a sitter for the night, we had called maybe 40 places and all either had no vacancy or weren’t excepting new dogs. Kelli was available last min and was a life safer!! She offered pick up and drop off service and was quick with her responses. Price was very reasonable for last min and a holiday. Would 100% return and have her watch our pup again.
Kelly was amazing. Last minute, to our great surprise she was able to take our little chihuahua in. She answered our phone calls and texts immediately. She also keep me updated on my pet while I was out of town, by texting me photos.She was very professional and has a vast knowledge on a number of breeds. I definitely recommend that you check her out. You won’t be disappointed.
We've had a wonderful experience over the last couple years with Oak Grove Pet Sitting. We've used the dog walking service regularly with our two dogs, and it's been great! Always responsive, nice, and flexible when things inevitably change. Their reports and pictures are lovely, and I can tell my pups have a great time. I'd happily recommend them to anyone in our area!
Smiley and I love these guys. Robin's service has been great for my dogs over the years. I never have to worry that they're being cared for when I'm gone. For every visit, I get a "Pet Care Journal" notification email from the sitter including notes and photos from the visit. In most cases Smiley gets the coveted "Ultimate Happy Dog" status. I rely heavily on this team to take care of my girl when I'm gone.
Wow. All I can say is wow! We used to dread going out of town because we weren’t sure our babies would be cared for properly. We could not enjoy vacations! That fear and dread has been completely erased. Robin and her team provided the MOST professional, loving, and comprehensive care for our (many) animals: dogs, chickens, and even a pot bellied pig! Robin was incredibly thorough. She visited our home before the trip to learn what each individual pet needed and wanted in order to be happy while their moms were out of town. The visit journal they provide after each visit (complete with pictures of all animals!!) gave us total peace of mind. She checked in with us when she had any questions or concerns, and I always knew I could reach out to Robin and she would respond promptly. We will definitely be using them for all of our trips and I feel confident that when we go on a cruise in a few months and will be out of the country our babies will be in good hands. 10/10 would recommend!
We have five cats and the past 2 years we have used Oak Grove Pet Sitters to take care of our beloved cats. We received twice daily notes from the person coming into our house and taking care of our cats. When you are far away, it is comforting to see the pictures of the cats and and learning how they are doing. We have one cat who is very skiddish, and the pet sitter took pictures of him under a bed. We looked forward to the reports we received and knew that the cats were taken care of!
Oak Grove Pet Sitting is the best! Not only do they do a great job with our pets but also do things for the house-bring in mail and packages, water plants, and take the garbage and recycling bins out and bring them back in. The employees clearly care about our pets and the daily email journals they send are so helpful. The online request and payment system makes booking so easy. Robin, the owner, has gone above and beyond for us multiple times. No need to search further, just use OGPS!
I’m not sure how much I could express how special Robin and her team are to us. My husband and I travel quite frequently, and have also had some family emergencies lately, and Robin and her team are ALWAYS there for us. They are sooooo good with our babies, and are reliable and professional as well. We have such peace of mind when we travel that our babies are taken care of by “Aunt” Robin and the OGPS family!
Excellent!!! We needed dog walkers for our two babies while we were away for 3 weeks. There was email and phone communication, a meet and greet with Robin, the owner, a comprehensive online system where you enter all things about your dogs and their care, access to your home, emergency contacts, care schedule... everything! You can tell they take their role as seriously as you take leaving your pets, which meant the world to us! They can also divide walks as needed (one dog needed a longer walk than the other). We had an issue (my fault) and they alerted us and were consistent with communication until it was resolved. They also were a life saver when we had a family emergency and added walks last minute! Amazing!! AND you get journals and photos after every visit. Highly recommend!!! Our babies loved them and they were loved right back. Will definitely use them again!
Our fur babies love to have Robin and her team visit and care for them when we're away. We've used Oak Grove Pet Sitting for a couple of years now for pet care when we're away and are very pleased with both the pet care and their diligence in securing our home every day when they leave.
We contacted Robin and Oak Grove after a very terrible experience with our previous pet walker. Robin immediately met with us and fit us into their daily schedule and it has been nothing but excellence since! All of the walkers are amazing with our pups Ziggy & Zoe and we are beyond thankful that they included us into their pet family.
I *highly* recommend Oak Grove Pet Sitting! They have been a vital part of our village while raising a puppy! Our girl LOVES everyone from the Oak Grove team and I love the journal entries from each visit. They are so thoughtful and professional about taking care of pets. I really don’t know what we would do without Robin and her team.
We have been using The Village Pets’ services for a couple of years now and no one else compares! Amazing communication and customer service with every interaction. Richard and his team are incredibly trustworthy and reliable.
Richard and Courtney took great care of my diabetic 15 year old dog while I was away for 2 weeks. They gave me daily updates with pictures and videos and expressed concern when she was not acting herself. I received a call with a major concern and an appointment was arranged with the vet to ensure my dog's health was properly taken care of. She requires injections and oral medication so they able to administer her meds. She even got a bath during her stay. Before my dog's boarding, I did a walkthrough, saw where Ivy will be (in a wide pin isolated from the bigger/younger dogs). Afterwards, I had a peace of mind knowing my little old lady would be in good hands. I highly recommend this pet sitter! Thanks for taking care of my fur baby!
This was my first time using the services of The Village Pets after they were highly recommended to me and I couldn't have been more pleased with their care! Taesia did a wonderful job of keeping us informed of our dog's well being throughout our time away and did not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. It was clear she truly cared about our dog and wanted to make her feel as happy and comfortable as possible! I did not feel any anxiety or worry throughout our trip thanks to Taesia and The Village Pets and I really appreciate that so much.
I am incredibly thankful to have found The Village Pets to take care of my cat while I’m away! They are responsive, compassionate, communicative and they have a neat app to schedule visits and pay for services. Very, very pleased and highly recommend!!
I have been using this service for 3-4 years now. I would give this establishment 10/10. My Fur babies are very excited each time we get there. The owners treat my Animals as if their own. The best … my pets sleep for days because the endless hours of play.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Richard and Village Pets. My cat is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day after food. It's extremely hard to travel and find help knowing that I would have to rely on someone to feed him at 6:45am/pm, and insulin shot at 7am/pm. Village Pets allows me to travel again. I have used their services twice now and never have an issue. I receive daily updates with photos. I HIGHLY recommend using them!
I used Village Pets Pet Sitting for the first time this past week, and I was so happy with the care and attention my dog and cat received from Richard. Richard was 100% reliable throughout my 8-day trip. I received pictures, video, and communication each time he visited. My dog is a fairly nervous rescue dog, and it only took about 10 minutes for her to warm up to Richard during the meet and greet. It was obvious how well he understands and connects with animals. I will definitely use Village Pets again!
I’m incredibly grateful for Richard and his pet transport services. He was highly communicative and went out of his way to accommodate my needs. The timely updates and photos he provided gave me great peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend his services!
Outstanding Pet Sitting! I have a household of 3 cats and 1 big dog. I got a detailed report of each visit with photos and descriptions of my dogs walking habits. My pets were happy and comfortable in my home while I was away. This lowered my stress level and theirs. I recommend The Village Pets highly!!!
So happy our vet recommended Village Pets! Karla takes amazing care of our dog and Richard is on point with communication/planning. 10/10 service, they are the best.
My only baby, is my chihuahua Dior. She's my everything and I love to spend as much time with her as possible, unfortunately work places restrictions on our schedule. I hate to leave Dior alone, and unattended, but after enlisting the help of Dominic, I knew Dior was in trusted hands. I remember Dior and Dominic's first meeting, they clicked immediately and Dior almost shook out of her fur. Dominic has been very flexible and assisted with last minute travel plans when necessary. She's dog sat in my home and hosted Dior, she walks her three times a day and she's very attentive with sending videos and pictures while I'm away. Dom also follows the strict dietary schedule for Dior which is a life saver. We love Dom, and I'm glad we've had the pleasure of welcoming her into our home.
Dominique recently pet sit for a week for our 85lb dog Dash, and he had an awesome time! She asked plenty of questions about his routine and his needs, and even met with us before she took us as a client to make sure she and Dash got along well! She kept us updated daily with pictures, and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach out. My husband and I messed up the dates on our vacation, and Dominique was able to flex and keep Dash another night — we appreciated her understanding and flexibility on such short notice. Dash came home happy as a clam, and had clearly been attended too and cared for while we were gone. We even told Dominique that he was a little overweight and working on his summer body 😂, so she gave him a few extra walks each day! We would definitely use Dom’s pet sitting again and will be recommending her services to all our friends! She’s professional, reliable, friendly, and took fantastic care of Dash! Thanks, Dom!!
Dom was very easy to work with! My clingy, protective chihuahua-mix actually seemed happy and comfortable around her. She texted me a few updates with pictures. She’s a very kind lady and was more than willing to play with my dog.
Wonderful experience leaving my god with Dom for 10 days. I didn't have to worry once and she was on point with periodically sending updates in the form of video of how my dog was doing in her care. 10/10 and I wont use anyone else next time I need these services! Amazing professionalism!
Thank you so much! Looking forward to sitting Snickerdoodle again!
We have been customers of Petmeisters for years. This past month we found ourselves stranded in NYC after flight cancellations and had to take an unexpected trip for a funeral. One of the only things we didn't worry about was care for our dogs b/c we knew Petmeisters would have us covered and that is such a relief! Petmeisters has helped us care for our elderly dogs over the years with extra love and care and helped us to train our latest crazy rescue dog. They are also great people who have become friends. If you think of your pets as family-Petmeisters is the best choice for your petsitting needs. Also, they are fantastic photographers and send wonderful pics of your pets while you're away.
Craig, Allison, and the gang have completely changed our lives! Sounds dramatic, but bear with me. I have one very loving rescue bully boy with separation anxiety/dog aggression and another that's just a tiny, spoiled, needy, old lady (she actually came down with what they called stress induced pancreatitis last time she was kenneled at a vet). I used to feel terrible guilt every time I left town, I knew they were miserable in boarding, and so I spent half my time away worrying about them. These days, I get adorable photos of them loving life while being loved on by members of the Petmeister gang! Them being so happy and relaxed means I can also relax and enjoy! Not only do they love on my dogs, but they've also saved my garden during a dry heatwave, saved my bacon when I needed to leave town last minute for a family emergency, and stepped in for last minute walks when I've been pulled in to after work functions. They even managed to win over my very hidey cat! My dogs love them so much, they sit at the door for their walks even after we've arrived home from being away. On these walks they double leash the pups for safety and even drop off the old one back home half way through to go back out and really wear out Mr. high energy. I can't say enough about them... if you're on the fence, look no further, Petmeisters is the bees knees!
Fantastic folks. Wonderful communication and they went above and beyond to help make a difficult situation easier while we were out of the country. Would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone!
We consider them family and they treat our fur children as their own! Craig and Allison are so responsive, accommodating, hands-on, and knowledgeable...they pick a great team of sitters as well. They send text updates and photos that are blog-worthy with each visit which really is the cherry on top ...we cannot recommend the Petmeister crew enough!
Absolutely fabulous. We have used Petmeisters for about a year, starting when our dog was just a puppy. Craig and Allison were referred to us both by neighbor's and our previous homeowners from whom we purchased our home. We have had a total of two walkers who walk our dog every day, (one moved out of the city and thus we were assigned a new one) and both have been excellent. They also offer boarding at their home, which we used on a recent week-long vacation. The daily photos and videos are so reassuring and nice! Craig and Allison are incredibly reliable, their their online interface is easy to use, and they are very clear with billing and scheduling. They will hopefully be caring for our dog for years to come!
It isn't possible to write a review that can describe the excellent service that Petmeisters provides. Craig and Allison are truly exceptional pet sitters. They go above and beyond what one expects from a pet sitter. They take the time to get to know each pet, their personalities, likes and dislikes. They work hard to get make each pet comfortable while I am gone. I love their innovation. Craig has built forts from old boxes for my kitties and Allison researched and provided a new feather toy that my cats are nuts about. I often wonder if my kitties like them better than they like me.
We love Petmeisters! They have done such an amazing job with our 3 dogs, and we know they’re in great hands when we go out of town. I love that they send pictures and provide updates on our pups, and we’ve been so impressed with they attention they provide. One of our dogs has a tricky medication schedule AND the ability to pick out pills hidden in treats, but Craig always knows what to do to help! We’re so thankful to have Petmeisters in our community.
We love Petmeisters! They take excellent care of our two dogs and are extremely communicative with us while we are away from home. While many boarding facilities get booked up well in advance, Petmeisters is always available to work us into their schedule. I really appreciate being able to leave the dogs at home while we travel knowing that they will be well cared for and given plenty of attention.
Petmeisters has been caring for our rabbit and three cats for over two years now! Craig and Allison (the owners) and their crew have been 100% reliable and go above and beyond the daily duties of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes, no matter if we’re on a two day trip or two week trip! They never fail to send daily updates with detailed messages and cute pictures of our fur babies. They water our indoor AND outdoor plants, take out the trash, collect mail, and bring in doorstep packages. Last December our house was broken into while we were visiting family in California. Even with the three hour time difference, Petmeisters continue to call/text us until we responded. They secured the house, made sure all the animals were ok, talked to our neighbors, and called the police. Another time I was locked out of my house and they brought me a house key! Craig and Allison and the rest of the Petmeisters crew are more than great pet sitters, they’re great neighbors! Thanks for providing such excellent service in our Decatur community! :D
We feel extremely fortunate to have found Petmeisters. In the short time we've been using them, Craig and Allison have been amazing and have not only provided excellent care for our pets, but have cheerfully dealt with situations above and beyond including late notices and medication administration to our challenging older dog. Their love for animals is obvious. From the moment they arrive you can see it in the way they greet your pet and the professional yet affectionate way they handle them. As very anxious pet parents we really appreciate how they seem to anticipate your concerns and are able to address them empathetically and put you at ease. They are wonderful at keeping you updated about your pets when you are away. We know our 6 year old feral rescue Kiki and our 17 year old rescue shepherd mix Elsa are in good hands and it has meant the world to us to have this peace of mind. We whole-heartedly recommend Petmeisters!
We have been taking our dog to Frogs to Dogs for about a year and have utilized their group classes, day camps, and boarding. Our dog has grown to love multiple staff members and is happy every time we take her. She has made significant progress due to their work on obedience, socialization, and reactivity. I would recommend Frogs to Dogs to anyone!
I’ve been brining my dog to the group obedience classes for the past 9 months. We have loved training with Bonita during this time. Her classes are well structured and she is able to keep in mind the goals of all the students in class and create class scenarios that balance everyone’s goals. I also love how flexible the classes are, as my schedule is often varied and I can’t make it to the same day/time every week.
My dog Opie and I have been going to the FTD group classes for about 6 months now. I LOVE the trainers especially Bonita! Elijah and Mary are wonderful also! We try to go twice a week. Having classes at different locations has really helped my dog not only learn all the things, but adapt and desensitize to distractions in different environments. Saturday intermediate class walks in downtown Decatur are so good! It’s also beneficial to meet people and their dogs in all stages of their learning. We love Frogs 🐸 to 🐶 Dogs!
Frogs to Dogs to the rescue again! We have loved working with F2D since its early years and have always been thrilled with the team. A few weeks ago, we decided to do a trial adoption of sweet, one year old, Rosie. During the trial, we had to travel unexpectedly and Frogs helped us out in so many ways. Although it was a busy holiday week, Frogs was able to help us with board-training and temperament testing to help ensure our new rescue pup was the right fit for our family. The daily report card and videos are so fun to see and helpful! We can’t wait to start group training classes soon with our new family member! I can’t recommend F2D enough!
We have been working with frogs to dogs for the last year and have seen so much improvement in our reactive dog. The private lessons, day camp and group classes have helped with her general obedience and reactivity. The report cards and videos help us train her and support her learning. The frogs to dogs team has patiently answered all of our questions on how to successfully introduce our dog to guests and any new behaviors we have noticed in our dog. We have also boarded our dog with frogs to dogs and she comes back to us with exceptional manners. Our dog is always excited to go to frogs to dogs and we are so happy with all the progress!! I would recommend anyone to use frogs to dogs for training or boarding!!
Our 5 month old shelter pup started out with Frogs to Dogs about a month ago, and we have had such a positive experience. The communication and feedback we received from every single staff member exceeded our expectations. We had LOTS of questions before we paid for the board and train for two weeks as it is an investment (but on par with other training facilities) and everyone we spoke to was very patient and made sure we understood everything. There were 5-10 videos posted every day so we could see our dog playing and training, and I was able to come by on weekdays for brief mini sessions to practice the lesson with my dog. The primary trainer was available to us throughout the day by phone. Our dog LOVED it there and I think he was a little sad to leave. I really like their training philosophy— if you’re looking for a board and train without use of e-collars, I highly recommend Frogs to Dogs. It was well worth our money and we plan on returning for more classes.
Waddles and I have been coming to frogs to dogs for over a year now! We have been with Bonita since day one and love being able to continue to have her as our trainer. She has helped me understand Waddles and strengthen our bond! I always feel safe when I am with Bonita because she always keeps the safety of everyones dog first! Seeing Waddles grow into the confident little pooch he is now fills my heart with joy. We were able to to the CGC certification, he barks less at other dogs (he's a spirited corgi... so this is huge!), and he has confidently gone into an elevator! All of this is because of the focus, dedication, and care of Bonita! Waddles and I love the structure and lesson plans of each class. I can tell he never gets board. Waddles loves attending training so much that if I say "Do you want to see Bonita?", he will bolt down the stairs and wait to get into the car! Needless to say, we are huge fans of Bonita and her passion for training!
Caring for your dog like their own is Frogs to Dogs. Our dog was recently adopted from a high volume GA shelter, terrified of the world. Her week stay at Frogs to Dogs and frequent socializations with the kind staff made a huge difference, helping her to trust again that she will be cared for and loved. The daily videos from the caring staff and trainers were the highlight of each day until we could pick her up. Can’t thank them enough for helping Paisley transition to being a fun loving dog again!!!
They were very professional, accommodating, and friendly when it came to boarding our dog for her first overnight experience. She was there for 4 nights and they provided daily videos of her interactions. Would go there again with no hesitation, may even perform pet training in the future.
There is no question that this facility knows what they are doing. Their programs are executed thoughtfully to benefit the dogs. I see such positive outcomes over time. There have been no miracles, but real, slow, measurable , meaningful change for all of us. Thanks, team!
I thought I loved this place because my dog always seemed to love it, but this is the second time he has come home and developed kennel cough symptoms days later. He is 5 years old, fully vaxed, never had kennel cough a day in his life….until we started using Rex and Roxy’s - and now this will be his SECOND time having it in 3 months! Extremely disappointed and frustrating.
Couldn't be happier with this place! My dog is always ecstatic to go there. They are so friendly, and there have been multiple times I've forgotten about holiday weekend trips and they fit me in last minute.
My dog has been attending the Decatur location for a few years now. But now all of a sudden the last few times I have taken her, she now comes home with diarrhea. I’m not sure if they’re not cleaning the way they used to or if people are just bringing their dogs ill. I took her last week for daycare and I kid you not, she has diarrhea STILL! I have mentioned this to them in hopes they would pay more attention to cleaning and disinfecting more, but I guess it has gone unchecked. This is the third time this year and I know it’s the school because she only ever gets diarrhea after I’ve picked her up. This is the longest it has lasted and now her stool has blood in it.
We love sending our high energy dog to Rex and Roxy’s! Familiar faces when we drop off and pick up help us feel confident that he’s taken care of while we are away.
My Australian Labradoodle, Nahla, has been to Rex and Roxy’s several times now for daycare, and she seems to enjoy it from what I can tell. She’s always happy to see whoever is at the front desk upon arrival, which gives me comfort. It’s never easy leaving your precious fur baby at a new/relatively new place, but they seem to genuinely love and care for her. She had her first mini groom with them today, and she looks great. She was butchered at her first grooming at a different and unrelated facility when I fist moved to Buckhead, so I’ve seen how bad it can be. It was devastating. There’s a lot to be said for a great groomer, as well as a doggy daycare where the employees genuinely care for and enjoy being with the dogs. I would recommend Rex and Roxy’s for both doggy daycare and grooming.
Just started taking my pup here. He loves it. He plays hard and comes home tired. Without fail he falls asleep on the car ride home. The staff I met are amazing. So ready to do business with. If you love your pup, bring them to Rex and Roxys
The staff is awesome and my pup LOVES going there! All dogs need to pass a temperament test, and they only accept medium to large dogs...which is great! Their handling of the dog flu outbreak was highly professional and always in the best interest of the dogs health. This is the only place I will bring my dog, which is a 30 minute drive from where I live.
The people here are fantastic. The dogs always seem happy at drop-off and pick up. Highly recommend Rex and Roxys
Our dog Belmont LOVES to hang out here with his friends! The staff takes excellent care of our pup. I love being able to see him on the live stream and when they feature him on their Instagram! Your four-legged kiddos are in good hands here and the price is inexpensive compared to others.
I love Rex and Roxy's. The best part is that my dog didn't want to come home the last time I went to pick him up. It seems they take great care of the animals and if you have any doubts about how your animal is being treated, or if you just want to catch up, you can watch the webcams.
My boxer Diego loves Barking Hound Village! He is 11 years old now and they treat him with gentle love that he needs. I love getting daily pictures of him in my email while we are away from him. He comes home clean after a bath as well as super happy and exhausted from playing!
Maximillian likes to go play with the other doggies. They encourage you to bring his bed, so he has familiar smells. They also send pictures every day.
My dog seems happy to be dropped off and doesn't want to leave. That's the best sign of a good place I can think of. The prices are alright. A bit high in my opinion. Love the camera and the daily report cards. Staff are accommodating
The team at barking hound village Decatur is amazing. I have been bringing my dog here since 2020 when she was 4 months old and have continued to bring her multiple times a week for the last four years. From Danielle in the morning, who always has amazing energy and loves the dogs, to the entire team that makes my dog have a great day. My dog is always extremely excited to go to daycare in the morning and is usually tired by the time she gets home.
Our dog LOVES Barking Hound Village! They take great care of him, and are understanding of how much we love him! 10/10 would recommend!
I love Barking Hounds daycare packages. Plenty of options to choose from. LOTS of exercise time for the dogs, and the folks there always really seem to care, happy to answer questions, they know each dog and treat them as their own. It's also nice to have the camera option for those who want to see their pup and the report card photos are always fun and a good way to miss my pup less! Our dog isn't always the best at being social, yet she always comes home exhausted from all the play (yay!) and is always excited when we drop her off the next time!
My dog has loved coming to the Decatur location for six years. Even when we moved about an hour away, I continued bringing her to this location because she loves it and was comfortable with everyone there. I love getting her "report card" emails with photos of her playing and having fun. The staff are all great and are patient with all of her medication needs. The groomers always do a great job with her layered coat and her nails and she comes home so soft and fluffy. I really value that I can drop her off and trust she is being well cared for. Highly recommend!
Barking Hound Decatur is wonderful and did a great job taking care of my pup during an extended stay! This was his first time being boarded and they were were kind and helpful during the trial period and his stay there. They kept me updated daily with pictures and I was able to reach them easily when needed. He had a great time and came home happy and tired and ready to go back! Thank you for taking great care of my baby!
We have boarded our dogs regularly at Barking Hound--they are friendly, care about all the dogs, maintain a safe and fun environment for them, and communicate with us with daily photos and report cards where we can see what a good time they're having.
Barking Hound Village Decatur has been wonderful with our dogs. One of them has major separation anxiety and gets over stimulated easily. They eased her into play and have more than just one big room for all the dogs, we appreciate the separated groups to allow for smaller play groups for her. They update with pictures and provide feedback via a report card. They loved on them the moment they walked into the lobby and you can tell they truly care about your pups. We have also used Barkikg Hound Chesire bridge which is also amazing!
We have had Critter Sitters take care of 2 of our dogs and cat for the past 2 years. Our old sitter recently left but highly recommended Alex as someone that would be great with our paw patrol. He was absolutely wonderful! He sent us routine pictures, that were adorable of our fur kids. Even with some accidents that our kids made in the house (which I stress over anyone having to deal with) he had zero issues and always made me feel better. I would highly recommend Alex if you are on the fence about leaving your fur kids.
Teresa is an amazing person who does an excellent job. My older cat didn't like new people, but every time I had to go out of town Teresa came to my home and took great care of her. Teresa sent pictures of my cat while I was away so I could see how well she was doing. Sadly, my cat died a year ago. Recently, I got a rescued cat and one of her kittens. Teresa is the only person I will leave them with. She doesn't just care for animals. She loves them. I cannot ask for more when I have to leave them for a few days.
We recently discovered Critter Sitters and are so grateful for the wonderful impact they've made on our lives and with our pups. Teresa is a gem! She took time to get to know both of our furbabies individually including one with medical needs. She is professional and trustworthy and stays in constant contact with us. If you need a sitter, look no further!
I love Critter Sitters! Its so hard to leave my baby girls during the day but I know that they are in good paws. Our primary puppy walker is Laurel. She always sends me detailed updates and photos of them on their walk and enjoying their treats. I feel like I'm right there with them. I'm grateful to her, and the whole Critter Sitters Team, for everything they do! I highly recommend them! Thank you so much Laurel, Carolyn, and everyone for loving my girls as I do!
I used critter sitters this Christmas for my senior dog who is about to turn 14. She lost her hearing this summer and I was concerned about leaving her for the holiday but Alex from Critter sitters eased all my concerns. We set up a meet and greet, and went over all of Vivian’s needs. Alex took amazing care of Vivian, and sent daily photo updates to let me know how she was doing. Thank you Alex and critter sitters for taking care of my old girl. Highly recommend!
I recently had to leave town for a night, and as the owner of a diabetic cat, finding reliable and caring pet sitters has always been a top priority. I had the pleasure of using Critter Sitters for the second time, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. Last year, Carol took care of Cookie, and her dedication and care were exceptional. This year, I had Alex as our pet sitter, and I can't express how thankful I am for the wonderful job they did. Alex made sure that Cookie was well-fed, his litter box was kept clean, and most importantly, his insulin shots were administered flawlessly. What truly set Critter Sitters apart for me was the outstanding communication. Alex kept me updated after each visit, letting me know how Cookie was doing. The cherry on top was the photo updates that I received. Having an older cat with health issues used to be a source of stress for me when leaving town, but thanks to Critter Sitters, I now have peace of mind. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for pets are truly remarkable.
Teresa was awesome with my iguana. Kept me updated on her daily routine. Took good care of her.
We’ve had excellent experience with Critter Sitters over several years with different sitters. Most recently we worked with Alex. He was like the pet whisperer! All our animals loved him immediately. Alex sent regular updates and pictures which our kids really appreciated. Thanks for taking such great care!
Mary was so awesome!!! She made me feel relaxed since I've never used this type of service before. She is sweet, patient, responsive, on time, kept me posted with pictures, videos, and any other updates. She took care of my girl as if she was her own. I'm so grateful for Mary!!!
Alex looked after my two cats while I traveled for several days and I couldn’t have felt better about what good hands they were in! He sent photos every day updating me and had no problem giving meds to one of my very picky and stubborn cats. You can tell he takes his job seriously and does his best to provide everything your animal needs during his visit (in my cats’ case it was lots of cuddles and play time). Definitely recommend Alex if you need to feel good about someone looking after your critters while you’re gone!
