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.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $19/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
The best dog sitting service ever. Heather, Becca and Teresa have always taken excellent care of our dogs. I like the updates they send us with each visit. We even get pictures. Their visits are usually pretty long and they make sure the animals are back in our care on the day service ends. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my Bentley. We go abroad a lot and the dogs are always clean and happy when we arrive. Thank you so much for your tender loving care. We love you guys.
Tender Loving Animal Care has always been so accommodating with our pets. The pet sitters are always respectful and great with our pups. One of our pups is very hesitant with strangers and can be very protective of the house, yet the sitters are always patient with him and handle him exactly as requested. We have had many last minute dog sitting needs and they have always accommodated us. Thank you for making vacations and trips away from home so much less stressful!
I love these people!! Becca takes such good care of my babies. I tried a different pet sitting service and they were awful. So grateful for Tender Loving Animal Care.
TLAC is easy to work with and great at taking care of my fur babies. Their prices are very reasonable and I feel secure knowing our dogs are taken care whenever we are out of town. I highly recommend TLAC as a pet sitter.
The awesome team at Tender Loving Animal Care were simply awesome from start to finish doting our recent two-week vacation. Each of the four care providers for our kitty arrived on schedule and took outstanding care of our cat as evidenced by the photos they provided and the post visit texts they each sent. My wife and I experienced zero issues communicating with TKAC’s staff from half-way around the world. We made a couple of minor requests that were immediately honored and carried out. The billing process was accurate and fair. My Wife and I felt no worries at all with Tender Loving Animal Care visiting our home while caring for our cat. We intend on more travel and TLAC is the right answer for our pets are whenever we go out of town. Thanks Belinda, you have an excellent crew! 🎎
They've taken care of my dogs several times now while I've been away on trips and I'm very happy with their services. Thankful to have this option available when we're not able to take the dogs with us, no need to drop them off or pick them up anywhere, the dogs get to stay home where they're comfortable, and they are well taken care of while we're away. Great job every time!
I would recommend TLAC to anyone! Knowing they are there to take care of my cats relieves so much stress while I travel for work. They are so quick to respond and understanding that schedules can be unpredictable.
My husband and I are both active duty military. Trying to find a pet sitter has always been difficult. The service and flexibility of TLACs staff is impeccable. We have two huskies and a cat and they are always very well taken of when we go out of town. Highly recommend!
Tender Loving Animal Care has taken amazing care of our three pups. They are always so dependable and so loving on our pet family members. I can’t recommend them enough!! They’re the best!!
I love TLAC! We used them a ton when we first got our puppy and needed help with taking him out during the day when my husband and I were at work. Everybody was always so great with our dog and great with sending updates and pictures from their walks/visits. I always felt like our dog was in great hands with them!
They have a very friendly staff, and took care of my pet very well. She came back to me happy and looked healthy from what I could tell. I appreciate that they take the dogs out numerous times throughout the day and even let the dogs play together if they get along. After the stay they give a report card giving details about how your pet did.
We love Funny Faces and so does our pup. When we pull in she gets excited to go in. When they come out to get her to bring her back she doesn’t hesitate to go back she doesn’t look back at me or tries to come back to me which shows seems to have fun while she is there!
Amazing place to board your animals. They have great service and pay attention to all of the animals in their care.
Water pipe burst, leaking fresh water into my house so unlivable. My 2 cats needed shelter fast. I called Funny Faces staff and told them about our dilemma. My babies were there for a week pending repiping of lines. The ladies at the front desk were kind, helpful and caring. The cat room is clean well kept and comfy. I would trust them with my babies anytime.
My Bertie loves to visit Funny Faces. He always makes friends. I love the report card when we pick him up. I know he's in great hands and that's peace of mind.
We were in the middle of a rough move and needed to board our pups for a few days. This is usually a very frustrating situation because it seems like every boarding facility these days is "cage free" and my dogs do not play well with others. However, Funny Faces was so easy to work with. They have staff right at the front door, ready to take your dog when you walk in, so you're not fighting a leash and filling out paperwork. Brilliant! They kept my dogs together, and away from other pups. No incidents, happy and tired dogs when I picked them up. And they helped me to the car. Best boarding facility ever.
Funny Faces is the BEST boarding facility I’ve EVER encountered! I’ve been bringing my two doggies here for quite some time and they absolutely love it! The facility is spotless and well maintained! They even send my pups’ home with a report card to let me know how they did while I was away. The employees always show kindness and are always offering to help me unload my dogs and their belongings. I don’t see anywhere else taking care of my animals as well as they do! :)
My dog Waffles absolutely loves going here. They have the best customer service for pets and owners I have ever encountered. They make my dog feel very special with their warm welcome. They set up play dates for my dog. Also the grooming is excellent and very affordable. Love it!
This is by far the nicest boarding facility I have ever encountered!! The staff are friendly, helpful and have a genuine care and concern for each pet! The facility was clean inside and out.... not one bit of pet odor! They can accommodate special diets, etc. and even find play pals for your pet during their stay. There is a vet on call 24/7. Our pet actually WANTED to go inside on our second visit instead of pulling away! Kudos to this wonderful place where our dog can enjoy his vacation while we enjoy ours with complete peace of mind that our pup is in excellent hands!!
They responded to their email quickly and were polite in explaining their requirements. My dog & cat were well cared for and the facilities were spacious and clean. My dog even got a report card :)
Great experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. We have a golden retriever and we left him with Briana and Maelie for a week and we didn’t have a worries at all because we knew he was in great care. My dog Cosmo loved it so much that he didn’t want to go home when I went to pick him up. I will definitely be taking him back when we have to go out of town.
I am a true new customer. I cant say enough about this daycare. I absolutely love it. Bee treats your dog as one of her own and creates an environment where your dog feels comfortable. As a doggy mom with anxiety it was hard for me and Bee made me feel at ease with her great care, photo updates, and videos of my baby playing with others. Her prices are reasonable for what her business actually gives you. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend BeeCastle Doggo Daycare! Maelie took great care of all four of our fur babies while we were on a three week vacation. Her daily drop ins and overnight stays helped ease our minds knowing they were all being cared for.
Had a great experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. She took us last min when our dog sitter cancelled on us last min and didn’t have anyone else. Always keeping me updated of my dog and sending pictures.I would definitely recommend and book with them again later in the future.
Taking my puppy to doggo daycare was the best thing for my pet. The care and training my pet receives is amazing. I would recommend to family and friends. My puppy Bruno really enjoys his stays. Thank you so much doggo daycare for taking care of my pet.
I am so happy I found BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. I booked with them while visiting family. Booking was quick and easy. They are friendly and professional. Their communication was great. I received updates throughout the night. My furbabies had a great time. They were well taken care of. I got so lucky I found them. I highly recommend booking with them, you will not regret it!!!
Wonderful experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. Any doubt I had being away from my Lula went away when we booked the stay. Fast easy and respectable. Greeting us at the door and starting the introduction process was the best. My little golden was treated like the princess she is. The pictures and the updates provided were everything for me. I’m happy to find this local business, I recommend them for long stays or even for daily sits.
Love Bees’s doggy daycare! There scheduling of drop in visits is very flexible and take great care of my boxer!
BeeCastle Doggo Daycare is wonderful! My dogs, who don’t like to go anywhere, absolutely love when they get to go to daycare. They have fun, they are safe, and they are loved. I would highly recommend!
Briana and her daughter are amazing and took great care of our puppy! She was accommodating to our last minute request and very flexible in finding options to help care for our dogs. We also loved the environment and atmosphere of her home!!!
We’ve been getting our dogs groomed here for a few years now! They do an excellent job! Our dogs always come back looking & smelling good. Thank you Melair Kennels!
Well this is my mom & dad's business, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I'll try to de as fair as possible. I can say my mom & dad love there job & the pets as they do there own children, many even more then us (lol). My mom even has a couple clients that travel a long distance to bring there poodles, & always verry satisfied with the pampering of there beloved pets. The pets say it all though, when some of those pets get there they get so excited to see my folks, they start jumping around & barking, I've seen a dog almost plow my mom over it was so happy to see her after there owner had been sick for a while & funerals was able to bring them in. There place is small & a little old, many even a bit run down but, if you want a groomer that really love there paw pals & want your puppy pals to be well taken care of, this is definitely the place I would want to take my pals.
U gotta say I sometimes groom dogs here, this is my mom's business. She taught me & my sister here, my sister now the owner of lemoore dog grooming in lemoore ca & is starting the third generation of dog grooming with her daughter & they are very wonderful groomers as well I highly recommend if you are in the lemoore area & want quality dog grooming you check her out, I think you will be pleased. My mom is gifted in poodle cuts & has passed it on to us & our offspring as well, infact she has a few clients that come from LA. & Other places like that because they say no ones as good as her with there 🐕 precious paw 🐾 babies.. I recommend these places not because they are family, but because they are the best and they love your pets like there own.. Have a great day ty Tanya
Super nice people and do a great job on my 2 dogs.
I have been going here for 5 years now. Ever since my baby girl was a puppy and every time I pick her up she looks wonderful and so happy. Completely recommend to anyone looking for quality dog grooming at a great price.
Took our beautiful Papillon in to be groomed as usual like they have done to her for years. Went to pick her up and she was butchered horribly short clear down to her undercoat big chunks from the clippers were noticed top of her head and the back of her leg like she (groomer) was bumped while cutting with them I just cried no Papillon can ever be taken down this short every groomer should know that.
Small, & the building is old, But the people are really good with the dogs, & there grandsons come up & wash the dogs when there not in school, really really good with dogs, you can tell they love animals... I would have gave more stars but that's all they had
The owners and people there are very, very ,friendly dogs look great happy, clean .I would recommend this place every time. Thx again !!!
Handled my dog who hates baths and for anyone to touch his feet. He looked beautiful and have them no trouble!
Great place, Bonnie and Mel are great people
Our pup stayed here with MJ for the first time and we were so happy we found her business. The dogs don't get put in some small kennel. They get the run of her big backyard and are treated like they are at their own home. She has her own two good pups for our dog to play with. I will be boarding our pup with her whenever we go out of town.
This is the best place to send your dog. MJ is great with all dogs. My dog gets so excited when I tell her she is headed to MJs
I see this incredible lady work with her Mercedes and it just blows my mind. I have a challange for her.
MJ does a great job of caring for your pet like it was her own!
MJ is great and loving with our fur babies!
Best place to bring your pup for an overnight stay. My dog loves it here and is always excited at drop off. The kennels are in an AC building.
I wish there were more stars to give Amanda and her wonderful pet boarding facility. Amanda is so sweet and genuinely cares about your pets. We have two 5 month old puppies and I was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Amanda answered all of my questions promptly when deciding where to leave our puppies and her prices were incredibly reasonable. We boarded our puppies for a week and when we arrived to drop them off, we were so impressed with how clean it was and how nice the area is that she has set up for dogs. I emailed her a few times to check on our puppies while we were gone. Not only did she reply in a short period of time, but she sent pictures of the puppies and a video of them playing. It made me so happy to see how happy and playful they were during their stay. 4 Paws Country Inn is a special place and perfect for your pets when you need a place for them to stay. We have a couple more trips planned this year and I will need to board our puppies again. I will be calling Amanda soon to reserve a spot for them. I want to make sure they can stay at the BEST place in the Central Valley, 4 Paws Country Inn.
Amanda is such a doll! Easy to schedule with and treats your pooches like family. Also extremely affordable compared to other boarding facilities. Highly recommend!
My pups loved this place. Both pups were happy when I picked them up. The location is excellent, the inn is well maintained and can see the owners' love for the pets and place. I plan to use them again! Photos coming soon!
Amanda, the owner is very friendly and caring person and the place is super clean. While i was abroad, she texted me several times, explaining how my dogs were doing and sent videos of my dogs playing at her facility. My dogs were happy , energetic and looked clean and smelled good when i picked them up. I highly recommend this place to people who really care about their pets.
Amanda is incredible and will love your fur baby as if they were her own! My dog absolutely loves staying there and gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Miss Amanda. Leia seriously has the time of her life while at 4 Paws! I wouldn't dream of leaving her anywhere else!
Wonderful open space for the dogs to run. It’s peaceful. The owner is a kind woman who is willing to work around your schedule. I will definitely trust my dogs to go here again.
I highly recommend!! I have dropped my dog off several times and the owner has always been very accommodating😊😊 Amazing atmosphere for your pup!! 🐶🐶 …
I am extremely impressed with 4 Paws Country Inn for numerous reasons! I had to travel recently and did not feel comfortable leaving my 3-legged cat home alone for the length of time that I would have to be away as well as the fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off practically every night, close to my front door by surrounding neighbors. I proceeded to make calls and compare prices. Not only was 4 Paws Country Inn more reasonably priced, willing to accommodate during this Covid-19 nightmare, but most importantly provided my precious cat with a super clean, caring, and safe environment!! I received so much more than a 4 night pet stay boarding!! I was given peace of mind which is priceless. I can go on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Amanda prior to bringing my cat Pumkinhead. She was so easy and pleasant to talk to. I had nervous “mommy” questions which Amanda answered with professional expertise and reassuring patience. There was absolutely no pressure and I felt like she had a genuine love for animals and took her profession very seriously. I appreciated her attention to detail and her verification of my animal’s vaccination status via her very professionally drafted contract. This assured me that she would be also safeguarding other pets as well as my own. The day I arrived to drop off my precious kitty, Amanda welcomed us warmly and assisted me with my heavy items. Her facility is indeed a beautiful country inn and the outside is well maintained and full of natural charm. The inside is equally immaculate and the aroma is nothing short of clean and fresh. I was amazed that the kennel full of dogs had no hint of animal waste at all!! The destination of my cat would be a lovely large enclosed ward with a spectacular window and ledge for viewing the spacious fenced in yard. I was so happy to see the cat tree and three story crate that would accommodate my cat’s high back litter box and room to spare. I had expressed to Amanda how my cat was very leery of children and usually would hide if they came near. It was an unfortunate result of a truly traumatic event that occurred involving a 4 year old girl who may have been autistic. Amanda proceeded to instruct her sons (Jase and Bryce) of my cats’ fear and and cautioned to move slowly when they are around her. I really appreciated her giving this “heads up” to her sons who routinely help her. I was able to leave my cat in her very capable hands... 😅 I also received wonderful pics of my precious and I almost cried! She was enjoying herself. And the icing on the cake so to speak was what I witnessed when I was reunited with my cat. I could not believe my eyes!! Amanda had given me my precious and her two sons were standing nearby. As I anxiously released her from the carrier she greeted me and meowed. I knew she was happy to see me. Then she went to rub against Bryce’s leg and he picked her up. She didn’t meow or anything. She didn’t turn to cling to him as if in fear, which she often does even to me when I pick her up. Instead she let him hold her and she was totally okay with it!! Then when Amanda told me that he had spent much time with her in the cat sanctuary and often spoke to her saying “it’s okay sweetheart” I knew he had helped her recover from her fear of children!! 😭😻😍💕 Amanda quickly told Bryce to let her down now so that she could be with me, and as he set her gingerly down onto her 3 paws he extended his hand and she turned back towards him and rubbed her cheek on his hand. That right there was a miracle!! I am grateful beyond words to Amanda and to her helper sons Bryce and Jase who stand with her, smiling with the face of little angels!! 😇
Good place to leave your dogs since there isn't good reliable facilities near me, dog have plenty of space to run in secured fenced runners, my dogs seemed to liked because when I picked them up, they went to her (the owner) like saying goodbye.
AJ was so accommodating to our last minute needs of kennelling our dogs. He answered all of my questions and all of my calls concerning my dogs since this was the first time I have ever kennelled them and was extremely kind throughout the whole process. He has a great set up for the dogs to have the option of being inside or outside and never puts dogs from different households into the same kennel. Thank you so much for your help and accomodations!! We highly recommend AJ country kennel!
The person that was going to watch our two big dogs weren’t able to last minute. We had to scramble to find something because I was going to be induced later that day. I called this place and the owner made it happen. He was so kind and understanding, especially because we had no idea how long I was going to be in the hospital and one of our dogs had some health issues at the time. Our beast of a German shepherd had double ear infections from playing in water and a couple foxtail hot spots that were healing so he had tons of medicine. He was taking 3 different pills in his meals, 2 different ear cleaners, and wore the cone of shame. He took care of them and we didn’t have to worry about them while handling an important moment in our life. My husband picked them up and they seemed just fine (happy to be home, but perfectly fine). We will definitely be using this kennel again in the future!
AJ Country Kennels We want to thank Tom for taking care of our two dogs. Tom was so helpful and accommodating. Our trip itinerary had several date/time changes and he was so easy going about it. Tom was even better with our two fur babies. You could tell that they liked him immediately. They were happy to go into there new temporary dwelling and to meet their roommates. The facility was very clean, in fact upon pick up, Tom was cleaning as we arrived.we would definitely leave our fur chicken there again.
We’ve been using AJ Country Kennel for 5 years and can’t recommend it enough. The customer service is great and Tom makes dropping off your 4 legged friend a no brainer. Our dog is a very energetic and anxious one and he’s always the same bundle of energy when we pick him up.
I have attempted to kennel with AJ Country Kennel multiple times within the last year and have only been able to utilize their services once due to my own personal travel changes. They were very kind and understand about plans changing and do not charge for cancellations. The one stay that we managed to have was wonderful. I found the facility to be clean and stay ready, and the owner to be kind and professional. I was able to bring my dog's food, toys, treats, and a blanket for him. Upon picking him up he appeared happy and well cared for. Could not recommend AJ Country Kennel more for a place to safely keep your pet!
They do such an amazing job with my pups! Dogs come home happy and tired. Will definitely keep choosing this kennel!
The owners of the kennel are wonderful and caring people. They keep the kennels extremely clean and allow you to customize your pets care while they are there. They are very understanding of changing schedules and very flexible. They took extremely good care of my dog moose for his stay there
Tom and his staff have been caring for my cat/s since 2018. He is fair with his prices, helpful, honest and kind. He offers the choice to use his food or you can bring your own when your fur baby is in his and his staff’s care. I wish all business operated like Tom.
Great accommodating kennel. They were able to take our holiday reservation with only a few days notice... The facilities are clean/ secure and the owner was sweet as can be. Our corgi can be a bit moody and needs daily meds, they had no issues managing him. Would highly recommend.
The owner is hard working and kind hearted. Although both of our dogs did escape the owner did everything he could to find them and was very sorry. We ended up finding them so it's all good. The owner has learned from our escape artists and has took the proper precautions to make sure this never happens again. I highly recommend this kennel! Great owner and they take care of your dogs very well. 5 stars for this amazing place!
I brought my very spoiled rabbit to VIP & they kept her in an air conditioning area, where she was kept very well. I highly recommend VIP to care for any of my pets! 💯 % happy with their services. Thank you …
This place is the absolute BEST!!!!!! Every time we leave our “Gracie Lou” there when going on vacation, she comes back as happy and as healthy as can be. The staff is as awesome at taking care of the pets needs as well as the “fur parents” that drop em off! We’re very protective over our little Princess, and wouldn’t dream of ever taking her anywhere else to be cared for, neither should you! I actually wish that I was born with an extra set of hands, so I could give this place 4 Thumbs up!!!!!!! 👍❤️👍
Amazing staff and place. My dog has been going here for the last couple of months when I’m out of town for work or a weekend trip. She’s always returned healthy and exhausted the day of pick up
The only place I trust with our German Shepherd. They take great care of him every time and even got him to be around other dogs (which he's not so great with). We are so appreciative of the friendly staff and everything they do. We tried another boarding place during the holidays because VIP was booked and noticed a huge difference. VIP is the best place to care for your animal family while you're away. 100% recommend VIP.
Excellent !! The staff is friendly the facility is clean all of the dogs looked well cared for my English Bulldog is my baby and she was well taken care of ! Now when I am out of town I don’t have to worry because VIP pet is a clean, safe, and loving place ! Thank You VIP ! I will continue to utilize you !
Elizabeth & her staff are absolutely amazing! They make me and my pets feel like family. My dog and kitty love staying here and they behave better for them then at home! I wouldn’t board my pets anywhere else! Highly recommended! 😃 …
They take great care of our shy/anxious dogs - they were able develop trust with our German shepherd who has separation anxiety & doesn't trust people easily & he's always so excited to go see his friends here! Very kind people that care about the animals a lot, I never worry about leaving my dogs here - this is the best place in the area!
I took my 7 month old cat to this kennel. (I have never had to use a kennel prior to this) I read the reviews and decided to book with them. From the beginning they were very responsive making sure she was up to date on shots etc. When I went to drop her off I was so nervous but when I got there I saw nothing but calm happy animals. The cat area only had one other cat and my cat and her bonded right away. I left there feeling good about my decision. When I picked her up she started meowing she didn’t want to leave! I also was able to text and check in on her. I highly recommend! Thank you VIP, I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my kitty was in good hands. 😻😻
Stella always come home happy! I love that we are encouraged to call and check on her while she's there. Staff is awesome!
This is the first boarding location I have ever used & will never use another as long as they still exist! My dog has been there for three different extended stays now & most of the time she's having so much fun she doesn't really seem to care about coming home :) She had been attacked by another dog (NOT here!) prior to her first stay here & had been apprehensive around other dogs after that. I was nervous how she would react when I brought her here the first time. I explained her situation to the owner who knew just how to handle it & found her a perfect group to socialize with. Now she has regular friends there when she visits! I don't ever worry for a second while she's there. They also wash the bedding before sending her home! Such a relief to have found this place.
