Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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 :)
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $18/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 was very nervous boarding my Cat for the very first time, but that subsided almost immediately. Brittany is very friendly and appeared loving and caring of all the animals in her care. She even sent updates and photos every day so I was able to see for myself she was well cared for and very comfortable in her surroundings! I would not hesitate to use her services in the future and highly recommend Country Kennels!
We LOVE Country Kennels!! Brittany is so kind and exactly who you would want to watch your dog. She loved ours as if he was her own. The kennels and play yard are super clean. She is very quick to respond to any questions we have. Her price is very reasonable. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else.
Absolutely amazing! She was so flexible and helped me while I was traveling! So sweet and kind as well! I’d definitely trust her with my kitty again! She sent texts and photos to keep me updated while my cat was in her care which really comforted me! 10/10 recommend!!
Brittany is beyond amazing!! From the moment you first arrive at Country Kennels to picking up your fur baby.......your pet has had the best possible care. Brittany is so kind, loving and attentive to pets......and their owners!! The price is reasonable.....the kennel is clean......the property is lovely......the animals are so well cared for!! Brittany knows leaving a pet can be hard for owners; she sends pictures and videos as reassurance they are happy and doing well. My only worry is my pet will not want to come home with me!! Bottom line.......if there was no Brittany and her Country Kennel.....I would not be able to travel!! She is simply the best!!!
We have boarded with Country Kennels for the past few years and absolutely love them. Brittany provides fantastic, affordable service, as well as a safe and fun environment for our doggos! Highly recommend!
Brittany is amazing with my dogs! I feel like I'm letting my pups stay with a trusted family member when I board at Country Kennels. Both dogs took so well to Brittany and the atmosphere she has made at Country Kennels. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!
We absolutely love this place! Needing to board our dogs used to be stressful for us as we tried a couple other places. Not knowing if they would be taken care of or happy was our biggest concern. Our Doberman Broly isn't the easiest dog to board but he warmed up to Brittany in no time which is amazing. The facility is always clean, welcoming and has a home like feel and our dog's are always happy, clean, loved and well taken care of at County Kennels. Brittany is the best and we are so grateful for all she does.
Country Kennels is the best experience I have ever had boarding. I have a dog that's insecure, so it can be difficult for me to find a boarding facility that is a good fit. After extensive research and touring, I decided on Country Kennels and I couldn't be more pleased. They are so understanding, kind, and reassuring. I got photo and video updates of my dog, and I never had to worry about his quality of care. I will never use another boarding place again, I strongly recommend Country Kennels for everyone!
Brittany does an excellent jobs with both our dogs and our cats. I highly recommend her.
Country Kennels is awesome! Brittany takes care of our dog Zyra and put love and care into her. Zyra is always so happy to go and to meet and play with new doggie friends. The kennels are homey and very clean inside and makes your dog feels like they are at home. Brittany pays great attention to the need of your dog and what they need when your gone. We don't worry at all when we leave our dog there and know she is In great hands. We love country kennels. Thank you Brittany!
We just picked up our two dogs after a five day stay at Valhalla kennels. They were happy and healthy and clean. The owner was very accommodating to our schedule for drop off and pickup. We have had bad experiences in the past with other kennels, it was a great relief to find someone so caring. We won’t be taking them anywhere else.
We were nervous to leave our fur baby, and had not ever boarded him before. We loved the set up K9 kennels had and the way they operate. They made us feel comfortable and easy about leaving town. They sent daily picture updates and our pup looked happy and content and was having fun during play time. They have great communication and return messages very promptly. Very easy to deal with and will recommend other to use them and we will use them again in the future. Great experience. Thank You
Long story short. Left my dog for an overnight stay for a total of 26 hours. The facility is nice and they have multiple kennels with access to small outdoor area for each individual kennel. They also have 2 or so temporary kennels with no outdoor access. When dropping off my dog I left him pre bagged food, a bed, and toys to keep him entertained while staying there. The night he stayed we received pics of him being walked around grass area as they said they would for his 20 minute play time. The next morning when I picked him up the owners were not home even though it was confirmed through email when I’d be picking him up. Some gentleman I never met drove up with no idea I was picking up my dog. He was nice enough to let me in and I found my dog still in the temporary kennel and had peed all over himself and his bed. The toys I left for him still in the bag I brought them in and his water bowl empty. My dog shivering and terrified. I use other kennels previously and my dog loved it. My dog was left without outdoor access to even use the bathroom for all but 20 minutes in a 26hour period, I’m not a lawyer but that seems like animal abuse to me.
Kevin and Allie do such a great job. Our 2 Labs are safe and clean there. We feel very comfortable leaving our dogs there. Very nice facility and well maintained. We take the dogs there multiple times per year.
My husband and I had never used a boarding facility before, which meant we were very nervous. Our young dog received wonderful care, lots of love and patience. Very clean kennels. Kevin and Allie are great. Highly recommend.
They were so great and easy to work with! They kept great care of our puppy while we were away and sent us pictures and videos of her as well. Would highly recommend!
This was my first time boarding ever. I was turned away from another kennel and they recommended Valhalla K9 Kennels. I was nervous because I have a three year old husky who can be food aggressive and territorial.... and then I had a six month old husky puppy. They were only there for a few days but I felt they were super well taken care of. Huskies are notorious for escaping so a lot of kennels will not take them. They had room to run every day in came back home happy and healthy. I can't thank them enough. We will definitely take our dogs back, thank you guys!
We boarded our GSD at Valhalla Kennels and are very impressed with owners Kevin and Allie and their facility. You can tell they love dogs and are very knowledgeable about them. This is the only place I will bring our boy Blu to board. I know he will be well looked after.
We have never boarded our fur babies before and it was a bit worrying for us but the extremely nice people over at valhalla k9 gave us comfort and sent us constant photos and updates of our pups. The communication was always there and we felt like our dogs were in great hands. Would definitely use them again in the future and our dogs yogi and kiwi say thank you for taking care of us.
Boarded our dog Scout back in February with Valhalla and was very happy with their facility and service. Scout was better behaved when picked him up than when we dropped him off! Thank you for taking good care of him for us!
This was our first time boarding our pup and we are SOOOOO happy! They took amazing care of our boy Draco! Fast responses, amazing facilities, and most importantly Annie and Dave are so kind! We can’t wait to have Draco stay with them in the future. 100000% recommend!
Annie and Dave are amazing! We went out of town for a week and I felt at peace knowing that our cat was being well taken care of. They post updates to their Facebook, so I was able to check in! They are super responsive to text, and their prices are very reasonable. I knew they had a magic touch when they were able to get our super shy cat to come out of her crate and bond with them. I 100% recommend!
Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding is like a home away from home for our dog. Annie and Dave are reliable, responsive, and caring towards the pet owners and the pets. While we are away on vacation we have great peace of mind knowing that our dog is well taken care of. We had a last minute change of plans on our last vacation, that lengthened our trip by two days. Annie and Dave were able to care for our dog for the extra days, no questions asked, which was amazing. We love Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding for our fur baby and we highly recommend them!
Annie and Dave watched our dog Bella over Christmas! We loved all the photo updates on Facebook. Our experience with them was amazing and definitely will be going back.
I work from home so my one year old pups are with me day and night. When my stepdaughter announced she was getting married almost 8000 miles away, my anxiety set in about where to take my dogs. I found Annie and Dave and found them to be exactly what I was looking for so they wouldn’t be crated and left alone all day! I was able to enjoy our time away with no stress and see pics of them enjoying playing with all the other dogs as well as the price being very reasonable for 3 dogs. I also appreciate that they have everything for them so you aren’t lugging a ton of stuff with you, just dogs, leashes, and food! Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back when we travel again (if Dave allows my terrible twosome beagles to come back 😂). Pic of the aftermath of 10 days at “summer camp”
Annie & Dave are the best. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy Kiki with anyone because she has always been with me since she was like 8 weeks old. We had to travel out of state for a week and this was her first time being away from home for a while. When we did a meet and greet with Annie and Dave, Kiki warmed up to Dave right away. The day I had to drop her off, I took her blanket and favorite toy, Dave said she wouldn't need them. He was so right, so did so well being somewhere different. I was so happy. I would totally recommend them if you need your best friend taken care of while you have to be away. Thank you for everything.
Our 5 month old puppy stayed there for 2 nights. This was the first time we left our dog in the care of someone else and we were very happy with the care he received. We were able to see pics of him at play, while we were out of town. We will definitely use Annie and Dave's again!
Doesn’t return calls/voicemails. Called to discuss boarding for my two dogs as a new resident, left message, and never heard back from them. Update: if I didn’t have the correct number, I couldn’t have left voicemail for “Annie and Dave’s pet boarding.”
Annie & Dave were fantastic to deal with. They took great care of Gracie and sent us pictures during our trip. I highly recommend them.
Great couple highly recommended. They sent us pictures and videos daily as requested. We appreciated it so much and already booked their next stay in 6 weeks. Thank you!
I was on the verge of a panic attack even THINKING about leaving my Bowie. I searched kennels and sitters and finally decided home was the better option. I reached out to The Pet Sitter of Boise about a month prior to my vacation was contacted right away by Shannon. When I was finally able to touch base with her she was sweet and made me feel comfortable right away with setting up our Meet & Greet. I then spoke with Julie regarding an official date to meet Mary, Bowie's sitter. Mary is amazing! She stopped by about a week before my trip out of town and was able to meet and spend a little time with Bow. I'm sure she could tell my nerves were shot just being so worried about leaving him home alone. From the moment I flew out of town (even before her first visit), Mary was in contact and emailed to let me know she couldn't wait to visit with Bowie. Every single day I was gone, I received a nice message about how he was doing, what their visit was like, and a TON of photos of him being lovey and playing with Mary. I was able to relax on my trip and stop worrying about my boy in a way I never would have had I not chosen The Pet Sitter of Boise. My boy was in excellent hands which was fully understood by his demeanor when I arrived home. He wasn't even upset with me. We just jumped right back into our normal routine. I will never go ANYWHERE else for Bowie's support human! This makes the idea of leaving town so much less stressful. Thank you, thank you, thank you Shannon, Julie, most of all Mary, and the entire team at The Pet Sitter of Boise! You helped me enjoy a wonderful trip with little to no guilt or worry! You've got my furbaby for life!!
This is the most reliable, sweetest group of pet lovers/caretakers that you will ever meet. Julie leads a crew that is unsurpassed. We recently left for the holidays and the Petsitters went way behind the call of duty to take care of a problem encountered with one of our pets. We have been to parties in the neighborhood and learned that many of us our clients of Petsitters of Boise and everyone speaks words of praise for the whole group. We are so lucky to have them.....and so are the fur babies.
Julie and her team are amazing! The photos and updates they send throughout the day are so comforting when you have to leave your pets at home. It brings peace of mind that your furry, feathered, and finned family members are all in good hands. The services they offer are fantastic, and the sitters are all so good with pets. The care and compassion they show is exceptional. Your pets will be grateful that you chose The Pet Sitter of Boise!
Absolutely love the Pet Sitter of Boise! They are very responsive and reliable, scheduling visits quickly and always showing up and spending a good amount of time with my pets. If you schedule 30 minutes, they are there the whole time so I know my cats have gotten good love and attention and playtime. They send lots of photos and detailed summaries of the visits. We absolutely love Leslie - the cats adore her and wait at the door for her at her regular visit time even after we are home! Also appreciate that they always have a backup if our regular sitter is unavailable, we’ve had a great experience with everyone and highly recommend. Thanks for being a great help to us and enabling us to travel with great care for our fur-kids!!
The team at The Pet Sitter of Boise is a top-notch team. They take tremendous care of my three Pitbulls and give them all the love they need when I’m not at home. I highly recommend The Pet Sitter of Boise to take care of my three fur children when I’m not able to.
Great experience! Love how good the pictures were and how often they sent pictures of our pets to us! Highly recommend them for your pets needs!
I don’t think I could trust anyone more with my pets than Julie and her team. The Pet Sitter of Boise has been my go to since 2015. When I first called on them, I had an aging cat that needed extra attention and medication administered. They did a phenomenal job with his special needs. Once our return home was delayed several days and we had no phone service, The Pet Sitter made sure our pets were taken care of and they were in touch with our emergency contact when they couldn’t reach us. I love their app and regular updates with pictures of my pets having a great time. The Pet sitter has been there to help take care of our dog and cats like their own. These are pet people. I love having peace of mind knowing my pets are well taken care of while I am away.
Pet Sitter of Boise faithfully took care of my dog for me for a number of years. It was great to have my dog at home during our trips where the pet sitters came in to take him on his walks in the morning and evening. They did a great job; I had total peace of mind!
Julie and her team of pet sitters are awesome. It's nice knowing that our dogs are being well cared for. They provide many photos and updates on the activities of each visit. I strongly recommend them.
Absolutely best service ever. We have used the Pet Sitter of Boise for years now, and our 3 kitties are always well cared for. I used to worry every time I left town, but now I never have to worry! Every caretaker we have had experience with has been wonderful- we recieve daily updates with photos which we always look forward to reading. Dava has been flexible with our schedule and informative of what's going on while we are away. She even vacuumed! So glad we found this service and we will never use anything else! Thank you so much, Pet Sitter of Boise!
Really love the people who own this boarding facility. They have watched my German Shepard multiple times, and my dog seems to love it there as well. Very personable, and I know my dog is in good hands.
This is more of an old school style kennel with no frills. It definitely seems to be better suited for outdoor and hunting dogs versus indoor softies like mine, though there were all sorts of dogs being boarded over Christmas. The kennels are set up in a long shed with 20-30 small indoor sections facing each other with only room for a wooden fold-down sleeping ledge and water bowl. Each kennel has a door that leads outside to a small outdoor fenced area. I’m glad we at least brought our dog a blanket and a chew toy, but it was quite stressful with so many dogs all barking in such close proximity. I love to support local independent business, and I’m sure based on other reviews that this is the right choice for many people, just not for us next time.
Owner/trainer Tim has been doing this a long time. Took my puppy there at a year old and he molded her in two weeks to being behaved and responsive to simple commands. She doesn't jump on people anymore, sit, down, come were the basic commands. Tim and his training is affordable and worth every penny. He also does boarding at a reasonable rate!
Tim and Amy are the nicest people you could ever trust to leave your furry family member with!!! I highly recommend them. I will entrust all my boarding needs to them in the future. Nice clean well maintained facility and kind caring people!!!
Had our dogs in there for 3 days . Mickey pit-bull mastiff Titus Pit-bull . We were little leery about leaving them but I have to say he assured me that the dogs would be Great and that they would be taken good care of they were. Kennels were clean . The dogs could go out if they want and go inside for some shelter. Very friendly and VERY , VERY affordable. Would definitely use them again. Thanks for taking such good care of our babies. The Watkins
My dogs came home soaked and stinking of urine. Tim admitted he leaves urine in the kennel and stated “at least in the summer the heat dries it”. We had to go straight to the do it yourself dog wash. The smell was so strong it made me sick and they were visibly wet. They came home very sad. Would not leave my dogs with them.
When my dad passed away last month, I was able to call at 0730 on a Sunday they were up and told me to bring Annika down but drive safe. She was in her kennel by 0830! Thank you guys! You are the best! My family started with MM when my Grandma needed a kennel for her dog. Since then my mom and I have used them numerous times!
Great price for a great kennel. Our dog is not the easiest to deal with and can be very wary of strangers. He was getting belly rubs by the time his visit was over!
This is bar far the best kennel I have ever used. The owner is really great. I wished I had found them sooner.
A good dog place to leave your dogs for the weekend. This is not a doggy day care. They are kept in separate kennels, but the dog can choose to be inside or outside. It is always kept clean.
I have a fairly reactive dog that has had nightmarish experiences with boarding. The staff at Camp Bow Wow Meridian were extremely professional and pleasant. They appropriately acclimated her to the environment during our interview and gave in depth details as to how dogs are cared for. There is constant monitoring of all dogs in both indoor and outdoor yards. My dog had never been happier. Both the facility and staff are top notch. Highly recommend. You won’t find a better place. Sammy thanks all of you!
I was completely satisfied with the experience my dog, Cooper, had at your doggy daycare. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic, and I couldn't be more pleased. Every staff member I encountered was professional, friendly, and clearly had a genuine love for dogs. Whether it was the warm greeting when I dropped Cooper off, or the kind reception when I picked him up, it was clear that your team enjoys what they do. Thank you for providing such a positive and caring environment for Cooper. The peace of mind I get from knowing Cooper will be in your daycare is simply immeasurable. I look forward to bringing him back in the near future.
Have been bringing my puppy here ever since he was able to with age requirements! He absolutely loves coming here. When we pull up he is practically jumping out of the car to get inside! The staff is wonderful and is always friendly and catering to you and your pets needs. Thank you Camp Bow Wow!
We’ve been super happy with camp bow wow! We were using another doggie daycare for awhile but once they had switched owners, communication went downhill so we decided to make a change. Waylon loves coming to camp (: He is always pooped and ready for bed by the time we get home. 100% recommend!
Camp Bow Wow is the best doggie day care. My dog Alabama comes home happy. The cameras are awesome. I can watch my pup while she's playing all day.
Our first experience here was great. However, I recently boarded my dog at Camp Bow Wow, and unfortunately, I had a concerning experience. When I went to pick up my dog, they initially gave me the wrong one, explaining it away by saying there were a lot of golden retrievers that day. While I understand mistakes can happen, this made me very uneasy about their attention to detail. I raised my concern about the possibility of them giving my dog to someone else, but I didn’t feel reassured by their response. This experience has left me feeling uncomfortable, and I will never leave my dog with them again. A kennel needs to give pet owners peace of mind, and unfortunately, I didn’t get that from Camp Bow Wow.
Our dog, Moose, absolutely loves the staff and the amount of socialization he gets. Hes always so happy to go and so happy to see us when we pick him up. We asked to have his nails trimmed and the staff said he sat like an angel. I inspected his nails when we got home and they looked great. No complaints. I have zero concerns when we drop him off- if you arent sure, watch the free cameras they provide online and see for yourself! Thank you Camp Bow Wow-Meridian for treating our Moose so well.
We (mostly our dog Maxx) LOVE Camp Bow Wow!! Everyone is always so nice and we never worry about leaving him there. We can watch him on camera at any time. We looked at a few places and Camp Bow Wow is the best. Highly recommend!
Dublin loves it here. The enrichment activities are so fun! He comes home with art projects and pictures. And the best is that he is worn out at the end of the day from playing. The counselors genuinely love dogs.
Simply the Best! I truly adore the staff at this Camp Bow Wow. I have been taking my dog there for 5 years. The kindness and care that CBW provides to my dog is beyond amazing. Recently, with very short notice, CBW provided a “home” for my dog for 4 weeks while I cared for my daughter who was in the hospital out of state. Every day, I watched the cameras to see my dog running around and happy 😊. Every time I called to talk with staff about my dog, they were so friendly and supportive of my situation and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. CBW certainly made my dog part of the family and me feel better during the long separation. Thank you 🙏
If you love your cat, this is the place to board them. The staff is amazing and they all spend one-on-one time playing with the kitties. I'm an obsessed cat dad and called a couple of times, and they would send me pictures of her playing. I'll never go anywhere else!
They were so sweet and took great care of my baby kitty! Thank you so much!
Best place I have seen to care for your cats. Very nice staff. Very clean.
So difficult to leave my baby for a week but I know he will get great care here. They are always so good to him.
I have used this facility twice and they are wonderful! The staff [especially Katy] are all extremely caring and nurturing. The cat condos are clean and each kitty has an opportunity during the day to be out and exploring. Would highly recommend this facility if you want caring people taking care of your kitty while you are away.
Our cat, Rusty, is always well cared for at CALICO CATTERY. He always has a comfortable room and enjoys his one on one playtime. The folks that work there are very cat friendly people. We highly recommend. CALICO CATTERY for cat care and BOARDING.
Had to board my cat for the first time and the employees were so kind and even sent pics of Scout. Always called back and texted promptly. Will definitely use Calico Cattery again 😻 …
My boy, Chester, used to snub me when I brought him home from boarding - for days. For one trip, my regular, cat only, boarding place was full and they recommended Calico Cattery. The facility was clean, smelled great, staff was very sweet. Other cat guests seemed calm, curious, happy. And, when I brought him home that first time from boarding here, he just loved on me like nothing happened, like I didn't abandon him for days. That's when I knew this was his place. I haven't taken him anywhere else since. They know him by name when I call, they love him. Reservations are easy to make. They're very responsive. Chester doesn't seem stressed or grumpy when I'm picking him up. I love this place. ♥️♥️
My friend recommended Calico Cattery. I was leery of boarding my cats, thinking it would be like kitty prison, but I was wrong. It is spacious and light & all the cats are calm & content.
We left our baby there for a week and they took excellent care of her. They were responsive and prompt every time I emailed to check in on her. It is obvious they love cats as much as we do. Outstanding job taking care of our baby. 100 % trust in them. Thank you! Highly recommend.
Our senior dog had contracted kennel cough at a local boarding facility so we looked at alternatives for our vacation two years ago for mine and my brothers mellow senior doggies. Christina took excellent care of them both with regular updates and pictures. Both the dogs and the humans had a much better experience. Unfortunately our dog had passed this year, but we just recently adopted a two year old border collie mix and were lucky enough for Christina to be available to watch him while we were on vacation. He initially exhibited a lot of separation anxiety, but Christina and her family were able to love him through it. Christina takes as good (or better) care of my baby as I do. I'm super appreciative of the communication and pictures as it made my vacation even more enjoyable. You won't find anyone who provides better care for you fur baby. The pictures are only a few that Christina shared while pet sitting.
I'm so thankful I came across Christina to take such great care of my fur baby while I was away. My girl was given so much love and care, and the peace of mind that your dog is in great hands is PRICELESS. Christina also sends pics and updates daily. Highly recommend 👍 …
We highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter. She does an amazing job caring for our fur babies and it took no time for her to win over our picky cats. She sends us photos and videos daily so we can see how they are doing while we are away, which I love. She also handles our house-sitting needs — and all for a very reasonable price! We have had some bad experiences with other sitters in the past, but never with Christina - our cats are always happy and settled when we get home. That says a lot about their care.
My dog has never been more excited to go to a pet sitting service. We have done both doggie daycare and boarding with Christina. She is careful to follow your pet’s instructions and even gives my dog a bath for longer stays. Can’t say enough good things about Christina’s pet service.
I've been extremely fortunate to have found Christina's Pet Sitting! Christina and her family have been a second family to my girls (my dogs), Kami and June. When I have to travel, it is so relieving to be taking my puppies to stay with a wonderful family with whom my dogs love to spend time. During their stay at Christina's, my dogs get an in-home experience very similar to what they have when at home, receiving a ton of love and attention nearly all day long! And Christina sends photos to me of what they are doing throughout the time they are with her. Christina's is a very positive experience for my puppies, exhibited by vastly different behavioral responses than those following a kennel stay. I recommend Christina's Pet Sitting to all dog owners who love their dogs without end!💞
We were very happy with Christina's service and highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Christina was able to accommodate us on short notice for 4th of July weekend. She took great care of our three critters and even sent pictures throughout the weekend. We appreciated that our animals could stay home where they're comfortable too. Thank you Christina!
I went on vacation for two weeks and Christina did the pet sitting while I was away. it was the first time I had use Christina and she was tentative and gave me comfort that my two cats would be taken care of. While I was away she text me daily updates along with pics of boys in how they were doing. Giving me comfort where I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were be taken care. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting and she will be mine pet sitter now on. It is very evident that she loves animals and has a passion in what she does. She did a superb job for me and 5 star service!
Christina does an amazing job taking care of our kitties! We had two separate occasions last summer of around a week and a half a time away that she was able to check on our fur babies! We always got great pictures and updates. She did an awesome job keeping everything clean, bringing in the mail, watering plants, and even setting out our garbage cans! She was even available to check in on them for a few short days while I was having surgery! Thanks Christina!
Christina has been pet sitting for us for about a year. SHE IS WONDERFUL!!! Our kitties like her and she's always keeping us updated with texts, pictures, and videos on how our pets are doing. Hopefully, she will be around for a very long time so we'll always have someone responsible to take care of our kitties. I can't thank her enough for what she does for our family! (Thank you again, Christina!!!)
Christina is AMAZING! I found her last minute and she was able to take care of our dog for a few days while we were out on a trip. I liked that she would send us daily updates on our dog with pictures! Hands down preferred having our dog in her own space versus being boarded in a kennel. Christina not only did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog, but she also was kind enough to bring our trash cans up from the curb and bring in our mail. Just little things like that is huge and definitely appreciated! Will be using her in the future and will definitely recommend her to others! 😊
Our pup Winter says she's having the time of her life at the Boise Escape the Crate. Staff have been great. Thanks for everything, Jessie! Below photo is after a day at daycare.
Escape the crate was a great find for me. I needed several nights of boarding for my two small dogs and Escape the Crate was accommodating and professional in helping me arrange it over the phone. I was especially impressed that I was offered a tour of the facilities when I arrived. I’ve boarded dogs in various places for 25 years and that was first time any facility wanted to show me where my dogs would be spending their time. I felt confident leaving them there and they were happy and calm when I picked them up. I didn’t get to watch them on the group daycare camera because I was remote camping (no signal), but I love that Escape had it available. Highly recommend.
My 2 German shepherds love going to Escape to see their dog and human buddies. Logan is going daily since he was a puppy for now almost 5 years, Koda almost 2 years.
Our 11 mo. Old Siberian Husky needed to learn to be around other dogs and people. Plus just taking her for a walk, wasn't giving her enough exercise. The staff is awesome, they love their job and it shows. Plus they have a app, so you can watch your dog.
We’ve been to several doggy daycare facilities over the years with our dogs but Escape the Crate really stands out. Haley and Jesse have been wonderful- answering questions and helping ensure that our energetic rescue beagle is able to play, socialize and run out her puppy energy in a clean and safe environment. Lulu now has regular playtime with other similarly energetic dogs and is confident and better socialized. And when I have an extra busy day and can’t devote as much time to her play and exercise, I know we can visit Escape the Crate where she’ll have much more fun than waiting for my meeting to end. And lastly, I love that they’re easy to schedule and have cameras so I can watch her antics during the day. Thank you to our friends at Escape the Crate!
We’ve been coming here for years and it has always been a great experience. My dog is very high anxiety but everyone at Escape the Crate has done a great job of helping build out her confidence.
We love this place for our baby Gunner. He is happy when we drop him off and gets to play with his friends! The staff is amazing and Truly dog lovers and Hailey the office manager is so professional, organized and our sweet boy just loves her!
Our dog Jameson absolutely LOVES going to Escape the Crate! She gets so excited when we even mention "daycare" The staff takes excellent care of her while we're working. I would highly recommend Escape the Crate! Emma is fantastic!
Highly recommend! I've been taking my GSP, Buddy, to Escape Canine Retreat & Spa for 6 months now and he LOVES it! Not only do they continuously interact with the dogs but they also train them during their stay. I can actually focus while I'm at work knowing he's having fun, getting exercise, socializing, and being trained throughout the day! They also provide online web cameras incase you'd like to check in on all the fun they're having.
Great place to bring your pet. Prices justified because you get amazing service, your pet is kept safe, your pet will have fun, and the place is kept clean. The staff takes special care making sure to prevent fights before they get anywhere close to happening by stopping bad behavior. They do not allow dogs who are not neutered so that helps prevent problems. The cameras a great for seeing how your dog is doing, although the Elisa location may need to get some more cameras or adjust the ones they currently have. Overall, I highly recommend this place for boarding and for daycare.
I loved how often they kept us updated on our sweet Aussie, Blue. I loved the pictures they sent with a little blurb about how she was doing. I also liked how they didn’t say anything negative about her (we weren’t sure how well she’d do with other dogs as she hasn’t been around many). The vet side also updated all her vaccines and gave me a print out of all the ones they gave her and the dates her next ones are due. They were extremely helpful! Definitely worth the price and would recommend to anyone looking to board their pups.
We love Intermountain Pet Lodge SO much! We never have to worry about the care our pups receive while we’re out of town. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in wonderful hands and surrounded by wonderful people.
The Staff are wonderful and take very good care of our dog while we are on vacation. They truly make me feel at ease and send photos which helps me stay connected with my pet!
I am so pleased with Intermountain Pet Lodge. It was difficult to leave my Tito with strangers. I know they loved him. They all had to come tell him bye when I picked him up! I will be using them again!
I have booked lodging for my two dogs with Intermountain pet hospital for many years. However, I feel the quality of service is deteriorating. Don’t get me wrong, the staff are absolutely wonderful. However, this time, they did not do the personal play time or nail trims we requested and they both came home with bright red elbows as though they had no soft surface to lay on. It was always our favorite place to go but we’re disappointed this time.
We LOVE Intermountain Pet Lodge. Our 3-year old fur baby, Harley, has been going since he was about 9 months old and he absolutely loves it. He even whines when we turn into the parking lot because he's so excited. The staff are super friendly & clearly love dogs! They treat our baby so well & it's nice to be able to check in on him during the day with the cameras!
Our dog has separation anxiety pretty bad. We had to have a good place to kennel him while we went on a trip. I took him to one kennel with daycare and let him play for a few hours. Their fences were only 4 feet high between large dog and small dogs. Our dog is super friendly with all dogs so he jumped the fence to the small dog enclosure. With Intermountain Pet Lodge, the small dog and large dogs are separated so they can't even see each other, and the fences are more than 6 feet tall. Important for a dog that can jump. He loves going to doggie daycare and the kennel experience for 4 days was great. He was in daycare all day and had distractions to keep him from running amok and tearing the place apart at night. He was tired and happy when we picked him up. He loves the people there and is so excited when we go.
The Intermountain pet lodge is absolutely fabulous. I have brought Olaf there for six years. Christian goes out of his way to take loving care of the Furbabies that come in. Plus, all of his staff are fabulous as well. I would, and have recommended them to many people… Thank all you Intermountain Pet!!
I recently took a 6-day trip and boarded my kitty with Intermountain Pet Lodge. She's never a fan of being away from home. Their care for her was exemplary, and she fared very well during her time at "The Lodge". Thank you!
Our yellow lab, Jax, always has a great time at large dog day camp and also enjoys his kennel stays! I love the daily photos we receive of him and know he is well taken care of. At 9 months old, he is very energetic and I appreciate the patience of the staff to work with his wild energy! It’s reassuring to see him interact on day camp cameras.
We love taking our dog here for daycare once a week and for extended boarding. She gets excited every time we roll up to the building. She comes home tired and happy. We like that they take the dogs out in shifts because it gives her some time to relax. We took a different dog to a facility that made you pay more to give them a break from playing. We didn’t and she was injured from playing too much and too hard. The price also can’t be beat, especially if you pay for 30 daycare visits upfront.
We have been taking our dog, Lola to Lakeshore for daycare and boarding for over a year now. Lola clearly loves the staff and they all treat her so well. She doesn't want to leave some days when we pick her up. We have nothing but good things to say about the crew at Lakeshore.
Excellent care, the staff is amazing and obviously love what they do. I've unfortunately had some health issues and Lake Shore helped with Augustus-Gus through my numerous appointments and hospital stay. At drop off he is always so excited and comes home ready to relax a bit. I love that the staff all know his name and welcome him. This facility is clean and well managed.
My first time getting my dog groomed here! Kaylee did such an amazing job and was so kind! Some before and after pictures. My dog went from a scraggly mop to a handsome clean cut boy! If you're looking for a groomer or boarding service I definitely suggest going here!
Amazing kennel very clean and organized. I take my dog there for daycare and he always comes home happy and exhausted 10/10 recommend for any doggy parents who need a little break here and there.
We love Lake Shore Boarding! Our dog gets so excited when we tell her she is going to “Doggie Daycare”!!!
Our dog loves Lake Shore! He has so much fun playing with other dogs and he is always tired and happy when we come to get him! They do a great job and clearly they love what they do.
I love the staff and so does my reactive dog. Every time I go to pick him up all the staff come to say bye to him and he never wants to leave. The place can be quite loud but my dog seems to do very well with the staff. My only gripe is that it’s nearly impossible to reach anyone by phone. I recently tried more than a half dozen times per day for over 2 weeks before I finally reached someone and I left 3 or 4 voicemails that went unreturned. I currently can’t get ahold of anyone either nor get voicemails returned. Up until a year or 2 ago I never had any issues with either.
Traditionally, we've always washed and groomed our dogs ourselves. However, we decided we wanted to try and get our old senior dog spruced up for my daughter who was coming to town. After looking around, we decided to take him to Lake Shore grooming because the Lake Shore veterinary service has always treated us well. This was an absolute super place with attentive staff. My rough collie has never looked so good! And they are tough dogs to groom with their double coats. He was a bit worse for wear with post-covid and winter coat issues. I was worried it would be too much for the groomer to deal with but she reassured me it was something she could handle and she did an absolute wonder with him! When we picked him up, our senior dog (with sensitive skin to brush) was shockingly nonplussed about being there for 6 hours. He was perfectly happy with how they treated him. They took their time with him, letting him have plenty of breaks. So happy, Champ has his new grooming place going forward!
My dog has behaviors and no family would watch him while I had surgery. I called Lakeshore boarding, and they did an amazing job! They had him playing with other dogs and socializing with staff. They gave him his medication daily and clipped his nails as requested. They even invited him back! Lakeshore Boarding is AMAZING!!!
