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.

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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 Out & Abouts offered by Creatures Pet Care are great for my dog, Nora!! She goes to places she’s never been, & is challenged with new smells, new things to see, new people…& this is so good for her!! I love the way Tami gives me a detailed report on how Nora is doing/did - complete with pictures!! Nora is in the best hands possible!! I love Creatures Pet Care!!
Creatures Pet Care has not only improved my pitbull's behavior, they have helped me and Beatrice Sweetie establish a trusting relationship. Their services are an essential investment for me.
We have used Creatures Care the last couple of years to care for our furbabies for everything from weeklong crosscountry vacations, to quick, last minute weekend trips. I am so grateful we found a group we can trust with our cats and dog. My cats are super picky, and one has medical issues requiring daily medication. Danielle and Libby have taken such good care of all of them. The updates each visit provide tons of peace of mind. We regularly refer our friends and family to them!
We got a recommendation to try Creatures Pet Care after one of our pups had a bad time during a kennel stay. They were absolutely amazing, sharing photos and all of the activities they did during staff visits. It brought us such peace of mind to know our dogs were cared for at home and not just that, they also received constructive play time and best of all, lots of love. This is a fantastic service with wonderful staff and a great system for scheduling and providing updates!
I have been impressed by the professionalism and qualifications of Creatures Pet Care. In particular, we appreciate the daily text and photo updates, record keeping system, and their responsiveness to requests. Tami has been great about never assigning a new sitter that we haven't met and approved. Erin has been an excellent addition to the team for cats 😺. Creatures Pet Care is a tad more expensive than my previous pet sitters, but they're definitely worth the price.
I would highly recommend Creatures Pet Care to anyone looking for high quality, compassionate, pet-loving providers. Tami does an excellent job with our 8yr. old mini goldendoodle. Her professionalism & patience alleviates any concerns we have while away. Our dog is given so much love & “pampering”; the photo updates are great too! Very grateful to have found Creatures Pet Care, and Tami!
Tami and Abbey are simply the best. On the initial meeting our very reactive dog immediately warmed up to Tami. I knew we made the right choice when I saw this. They send you lots of pictures and give you a full report during their drop in visits. They truly love and care for our pups as if they are their own.
Tami is knowledgeable and professional. She took great care of my pet when I was out of town. She makes sure she communicates and she sends pictures of how things are going. Her web site works very well. I recommend Creatures Pet Care highly!! You can have confidence that everything will go as described and your pets will have great care.
Creatures Pet Care, especially Tami, are absolutely wonderful! Tami has been coming about once a week for a little over a year to do training walks and let outs for our dog and we’ve had nothing but the best experience. They send the best updates and photos and it’s so nice knowing we have dedicated, professional, reliable, and knowledgeable people taking care of our dog and getting him exercise on days he has to be alone long. Also, when he was just doing training walks, we saw a difference in how he walked on a leash even after one or two walks! To top it all off, we brought a foster dog into our home only a few days before one let out visit with our dog and I reached out to Tami seeing if there was any issue with two dogs as opposed to one, knowing it was last minute, and I would’ve completely understood if this wasn’t something she could do. Tami assured me with no hesitation that it was not a problem at all and when the day came that she did the let out with both of them, I admittedly was nervous because both dogs are still somewhat puppies with a lot of energy and still getting used to each other and their playing styles and I knew deep down they’re much more work than the normal let outs she was used to. Low and and behold, the check in update and photos came and it was a breath of fresh air that everything went great and that she genuinely seems like she truly enjoys her time with our dog(s). I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for someone to check in on/take care of your pets when you’re away!
We recently moved to Kalamazoo and one of my first priorities was finding a good pet sitter for our cats. Tami and Abbey came to our house to meet the cats very soon after I contacted Creatures Pet Care. During our time away from the house Abbey sent pictures and updates during each of her visits to the house. She was even able to make quick friends with our shy and anxious cat. We already have Abbey scheduled to take care of our cats for our next trip and will use them for many more trips in the future.
Owner and staff are wonderful here. Responsive, patient, and kind in communication. They remember details about our dogs and always make me feel reassured the dogs are in good hands. Dogs are exhausted and happy when we pick them up after their stay at camp! The weekly facebook photos are a nice way to keep us connected as well :)
This is a wonderful place for dog daycare and overnighting. My dog did very well here and all the staff were easy to work with. I knew my dog was well cared for and enjoyed being with the other dogs. He couldn't wait to get out of my car and get inside on drop off. We are no longer here because I moved for a new job, but if I was to come back to the area, this is where my dog would go. Thank you all for taking such great care of my Oscar.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our very best buddy who is such an important part of our family. I was apprehensive about leaving him because we haven't done so very often, but you all put my mind at ease with your knowledge, kindness, and responsiveness (and the bath you gave him was such an amazing bonus!). I knew Johnny was in good hands. I've already signed him up to come back in when we go away again in a few weeks. Thank you again!
My family takes their dogs here. THEY ARE THE BEST!!! the staff is fantastic and so understanding that as it's sometimes the fur parents that have separation anxiety rather than the dog. Lol. Our dogs charlie and denali have had great visits and we will continue to recommend these fantastic people. Thank you for your support!!!!!
We had never boarded our dogs before so we were nervous about choosing a place. However My Best Friends Inn put our mind at ease. They were cool with us stopping by to check the place out and did a trial run with our dogs before our actual boarded. Pics were posted to Facebook so we could check on the pups and they were as happy as could be when we picked them up. Would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be using them in the future for our boarding needs.
Continued great communication and hospitality to my dog Oliver during his recent stay! Thank you for the reassurance of him being in great care while I was far from home. You guys are the best!
[UPDATE from 3 to 4 stars because the owner cared enough to call me & discuss this review.] I utilized the kennel boarding services of My Best Friend's Inn 2 times with very different experiences. 1st Visit = 5 Stars Dec 2016 (2 dogs/2 weeks) 2nd Visit = 1 Star July 2023 (2 dogs/3 days) Combined review = 3 Stars DEC 2016: Communication, scheduling, drop-off, and pick-up were ALL GREAT! I was told exactly what was required & had no issues. BONUS: I viewed frequent photos on their social media of my dogs playing throughout their stay. This was an awesome way to see how well the dogs were. BONUS: At pickup, I was pleasantly surprised that both dogs were bathed and didn't have the dreaded "kennel odor." The rate was fair, and the service was excellent! JUL 2023: I called to book with My Bestfriends Inn but initially had to leave a message. Assuming kennels probably have only one staff per shift, I figured they'd return my call when they weren't busy with a customer/animal. But after some time had passed, I eventually called again & reached a staff member who discussed & booked the reservation. A few hours later, I received a return call to again book a reservation, but I reminded her that we had already spoke, and instead I took this opportunity to ask if they'd received our vaccination records yet & if we were all set. During our initial chat, I explained that I hadn't boarded there in 7 yrs and didn't remember any process/requirements. But instead of her telling me the info, I was having to ask for and pull out from her what I thought I needed to know. Instead of telling me what vacc were required, I had to ask "what vacc do you require"? Instead of telling me how meals worked, I had to ask "can I bring their food?", "can I bring a toy, a bed, etc"? It was a little red flag to not clearly be informed, but I just assumed the employee was young or shy on the phone. Despite this, I still assumed the staff would surely communicate any "important" items with me. So I was appreciative when staff called the day before to inform me that my vet still hadn't sent the vacc records. I felt supported in my belief that the kennel was making sure I had everything necessary for my pets' stay. In my last call with the kennel staff, we confirmed the vacc records were finally received and that both dogs were cleared and ready for the next day's drop-off. We arrived by 7 a.m. (during 6-10am dropoff window), as that 1st day was filled with travel & scheduled activities for our short trip. Everything seemed fine until she asked me for the required 'Negative Fecal Test Results'. WHAT?! I had never heard of this! A negative fecal test (done just prior to boarding) proves the dog has no internal parasites, but having never been informed, ours wasn't done. This error jeopardized our entire trip. I attempted to problem solve while the employee contacted the owner for assistance, but I was eventually told that the dogs could not stay without it. Feeling frustrated about this news, I left to spend most of our trips 1st day working to get the tests done. It would have been so simple to inform me about the required fecal tests in any of the many chats we had that week. I was making sure the required vaccines were done, I could have easily had the fecal tests also done. We lost a full day off the 3 day trip & when I picked them up at the scheduled date/time (I even called an hour prior), neither dog had been bathed. She said the dogs didn't want baths, and they weren't there long enough to get dirty anyway. 😞 Sadly, I was very displeased with the customer service this time.
Love this place. We've been boarding for 12 years now. Just picked up our dogs, and they are squeaky clean!
Love this place for Arthur! Affordable, clean, and I sincerely appreciate that the owners are just next door. This is my preferred place for Arthur but they do get very busy and getting a reservation is sometimes a hit or miss so book early to get your spots! Overall, Arthur is safe and I appreciate that they bathe him before he leaves from his longer overnight stays :) I've referred friends here, and will continue to do so! Only thing to be careful is that the last time my arthur was here, he came home with some chipped teeth :( not sure what he got into, but I will be asking that they keep all hard toys away from him during his stays in the future...
We recently boarded our dogs at MBFI for a week. We were extremely pleased with their attention to detail - double checking with us about our dog’s medication and food. Both dogs came home looking happy and healthy (and received a bath!). We highly recommend MBFI and will definitely be boarding with them again.
Our pups love Jean and crew at K9 Care Camp! They are excited the moment we arrive at her door. I know they are well cared for!
If you need a place to take your pets and want to lower your anxiety about leaving them, then reach out to Jean at K9 Care Camp. Never had a bad experience and love that Jean sends updates and pics for some of their longer stays.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they kept our dog alive. I had high hopes for this establishment from reading reviews and having my nerves softened by a nice woman outside who said that they do a great job. My grievances begin here: we were told that she ate well, but having meticulously counted out both breakfast and dinner portions, and adding extra days in case our return was late, there was 3 food portions unused that should have been. She was returned to us with a terrible rash on her stomach. This is a rash that she has had in the past, but it has never been this bad and we were not notified that it had developed this far during her stay, or upon pickup. It was also reported that they had a hard time getting her back inside after yard time. They said that their solution to this was that she was leashed during yard time (you know, when they're supposed to exercise). Our dog came back to us stressed and her behavior is far worse having stayed there. Would not recommend this facility. We have boarded her before with another facility and the stark difference in stress and behavior between there and K9 care camp is saddening.
My two golden retrievers absolutely love going to Camp with Jean! They run right in from the car, go right up to Jean for hugs and they never even look back at me! I love the pictures Care Camp sends me of my dogs and I know they are getting the best of care.
I brought my four Persians for a lions cut. Melissa is an amazing groomer! My cats were happy and they look beautiful. She took great care of my cats. Thank you!!!!
Our miniature schnauzer had her hair and nails done by K9 today. Our experience was wonderful.
I've been taking my dogs to Jean and crew for 6 years and would never consider anywhere else. The personal touch and care my pets get are exceptional. I live in Grand Rapids but choose the 45 minute drive for the best care my pets can get. They are always happy to have a K9 Care Camp sleepover!
I love K9 Care Camp! Not only is it clean and organized, the staff is wonderful with dogs. It's easy to book online and conveniently located off of 131.
K9 Kamp took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. They sent text and photos to let us know of our pets were doing well. Great job!! Would recommend them for your pet care.🐕☺️ …
Great place to go, very clean, beautiful yard for the dogs.
Jordan and all the members of the team at C9C did an amazing and thorough job of caring for our doggo Bowser while we were out of town. The peace of mind knowing that he was able to spend the day and nights we were away in his home and not at some strange kennel was amazing. The team were outstanding, respectful of our space, sent pictures, updates and most importantly cared for and looked after Bowser. So happy to know there is a group of professionals who can help us when we need to leave town. Would definitely recommend! Thank you all again!
Best pet services of all time, they've dramatically helped our dogs grow and mature, and overall become the best pups they could be. They handled the time we were out of town wonderfully, and their daycare service is unrivaled. The staff is friendly, coordinated, and some of the hard working teams I've seen in the pet care space. I'd recommend them to anybody.
I definitely recommend Cloud 9. I had a great experience with Jordan! We definitely were facing some challenges, introducing a new puppy to our dog. In just 4 sessions, we went from complete chaos back to a normal routine. Jordan is incredibly skilled and explains everything in details. She is also extremely responsive in between sessions if something comes up.
Cloud 9’s Pet Care Pro’s took care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats while we were on vacation for a week. Usually, we have family stay at our house and care for them, but that wasn’t an option this time. We’re so happy with the care received! Our dogs are quite needy, but Cloud 9 took care of everything and provided detailed reports and photos after every visit. They managed to befriend all our fur babies, including our shy cat and our very anxious dog. We are so grateful we decided to give Cloud 9 a try! I think our dogs are probably bummed we came home and their new friends aren’t coming over anymore.
They do a wonderful job! Nicole, Lauren and Lily did an excellent job caring for our sweet kitty Rain. They also take the best pictures and play with your kitty to keep them entertained. I 100 percent would recommend them to anyone needing cat or dog sitting!
We had the best time working with Jordan. I was at a stalemate in training with my dog, as he is a rescue and had an unknown history that caused him to be fearful and disconnected. Jordan helped me understand Walter’s thought process, and we were able to build trust with each other. We started with trick training in order to get a foundation of positive training, and we will be back for more obedience training. My schedule doesn’t allow for weekly classes, and Jordan was very understanding of my schedule. I have a happier and more engaged dog, and I owe a lot of that to Jordan helping me understand his thought processes and instincts.
We had an amazing experience with Cloud 9 Canine Dog Training! Jordan was incredibly helpful in training our dog. She used a consultative approach, carefully analyzing the distractions that were causing undesirable behavior. Jordan's patience with both us and our dog was remarkable. We appreciated the variety of training sessions, which took place at our home, in public, and at their facility. This allowed us to see how our dog responded in different environments. Thanks to Jordan and Cloud 9 Canine, our dog has made fantastic progress!
Cloud 9 Canine team is the best! My dog has taken a few training classes with them. They provide lots of information to continue training once the classes are over not to mention they check in to see how my dog is doing. They also provide exceptional pet care services!
We found Cloud 9 when our usual PetCare options were unavailable to us. And are we ever thrilled to have found them! We have two cats who are a bit skittish around strangers, so we are very particular about who they come in contact with. We were more than pleased with Cloud 9. They communicated with us twice daily with updates and pictures of our pets that did much to alleviate our concerns about them. Our pets were very content when we arrived home and were clearly very well cared for. We will be using Cloud 9 PetCare for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend them!
We did at home training with Jordan and she was great. She was very patient with us and Bear 🐶. He is an active puppy with a strong personality. We plan to do in the facility training as well but he’s learning about other dogs in his space first. They were scheduled and on time but would message if appointments ran behind. Highly recommend this company.
Christy is so kind, compassionate, understanding, and fun! She took great care of our 2 dogs over a long weekend. Her general knowledge of dogs blew my mind! The facility is very clean, very big, and Christy works hard to ensure the dogs all have a great experience. I will only use Camp Christy!
Christy was so kind and professional, flexible, and great with communication. I was nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but she was well cared for and had a fun time while we were gone on vacation. I felt like Christy loved her like we do. We will definitely use her boarding services again.
We had a family member in hospice, and they were rapidly declining...so we had to rush out to Allegan from our hometown in the Detroit suburbs. We needed to board our three dogs on Memorial day weekend. Our local dog boarding was booked, so I called Camp Christy and by luck she had three spots open. Christy is very knowledgeable, and dogs are her profession. I chose her facility because it was further off the main roads than the other facilities. After meeting Christy and seeing the yard, the accommodations where our dogs were sleeping, we were able to tend to our family's needs, and not worry about our dogs. They were in great hands, and all had a great time there. I cannot thank them enough. Really great people.
I highly recommended Camp Christy. When I go on vacation I know my dogs are being very well taken care of. I love how Christy’s facility has its own living room and tv for the dogs. I like that my dogs get couch time hanging out. My dogs come home happy and tired. Christy also trains dogs and she has trained several of my dogs over the years. Christy is definitely is a great mentor and lots of experience with dogs.
We love it when Christy takes care of our fur babies. Whenever we drop them off we know that they are getting the best care. She makes sure that they have plenty of play and rest time. Plus we can get them groomed while they are there. Nice big yard for them to play in and large kennels with cots, toys, and blankets for them to be comfortable while they lounge. I would recommend camp Christy for anyone who needs doggy daycare either for the day or for extended periods.
The best! Christy cleans yard and kennels multiple times daily and works with all the dogs both inside and out. There is no more thoughtful care anywhere!
Camp Christy is pristine, while the facility is a little "rough around the edges" it is so clean you could almost eat off the floor, she keeps the yard clean, and the dogs are happy and well adjusted when they leave. My dogs LOVE going and working with Christy, because she has a true understanding of animal behavior and husbandry. I would recommend her to ANYONE.
I would give Camp Christy 10 stars. Her place is very clean and well maintained. She does spend alot of time playing with the dogs who visit her. They get couch time,with her so they don't have to be kenneled all the time. It's an awesome place and I would Never take my dogs anywhere else to board or train. I have Italian greyhounds. They love Christy.
This was the first time that I ever left my dogs for a long period of time not in the care of family when I was out of town. She did an amazing job making sure they were taken care of and that I was updated on how they were doing while I was away from them. I would highly recommend Camp Christy to anyone needing boarding or training.
We had used Camp Christy several times, and our baby always has a great time. He gets to run and play with other doggos, and gets plenty of love and attention. I love seeing the pictures of him enjoying his stay on FB.
Patricia at Mongo’s does an amazing job with our cats. Each time we leave them in her care, they are happy and well taken care of when we return. One of our cats requires daily medication and she sends us a quick text update to let us know that things went smoothly. We absolutely trust her with our cats and would recommend Mongo’s to anyone!
Pat is amazing. She’s dependable, caring, and flexible. She takes care of my dogs every day. I know that I can trust her to be there and always reports how everyone is doing.
Only spoke o er the phone about details, but seemed nice
Thank you Heather for the 5 star rating. I love your fur babies and feathered friends.
Thank you Marco. Walking your pup is always a delight. I love his high energy and sweet personality!
Thank you for your rating Karen. Your precious pup always warmed my heart and made me smile.
Thank you Cathy. Your furbabies are always a delight to spend time with.
Thank you Francesca! You know how much I love your kitties and kudos to you for rescuing them.
I fully trust bringing my dogs here. They are so flexible with us and handle my 2 gigantic dogs and all their needs so well! My dogs come back happy and smelling clean (unlike others where they smell like “kennel”) Reasonably priced- rates increase during holidays which is to be expected. My guys have been featured a few times on their social; and I love the updates they’ve made to their facility!
At the moment I can't give Derspinna a true rating. I have been looking for a kennel to board my girl and so far this kennel looks to be better than others I've researched in the area . Day care looks like the dogs are treated very well.
Expensive compared to Indianapolis where we used to live (but it’s a limited industry here) and they take great care of our huge horse of a dog every time we travel. We feel confident leaving him with them and know he’s in good hands. I do wish they had free updates for families (texted photos or something) of the dog’s wellbeing during longer trips. It’d be nice to get a check in every few days without having to pay extra for that- even if it was just some group photos on their socials. (Our dog never seems to be in those!)
Everyone was so nice. My dog will be going there again. She has never been in a doggy daycare/boarding setting. She needs more exposure to get used to it
Absolutely wonderful place. Took my dog there, and he came back happy as ever.
Our pups love coming to Derspinna Kennels for spa days (grooming sessions) and overnight stays while we are out of town. Derspinna's has become their home away from home. And we always know that our furry family members are well cared for.
Love this wonderful place! It's like a fancy country estate spa for your furry little friends!!! When we first boarded our two doggies, we fell in love with the Derspinna. It totally reminds me of the "Henderson Castle" but for pets. Lol Top notch service and care! We will be going back for sure!!!
First time using Derspinna Kennels and found the kennels very clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly caring. Our two black doodles were in great shape and blended into the routine schedule their just fine.
Our dog is a shelter dog who has a history of trauma, with severe separation anxiety which he is medicated for, and struggles in kennels. We were worried about finding a place to board him on short notice with his situation. We dropped him off, with his food, medications, added some extra nature walks and asked them 'if they could clip his nails, it would be great'. He is terrified of it, and we were worried he would need to be sedated for it to be done. We nervously went out of town hoping for the best. Upon coming to pick him up a week later, we have never seen him happier coming out of a kennel! He was excited, in great health and we could just tell how much fun he had at Derspinna. Playing with other dogs, and nature walks did him well! Not only that, but they also were able to get his nails cut! Absolutely amazing. We will always be taking our dog back here! Couldn't recommend them more.
I am grateful for their care of our furry loves while we were away. They took great care as our puppies require some extra TLC with their grooming & behaviors. Thank you!!!
Incredible staff! Fido has been such an incredible activity for our dog. The team really cares for the dogs here and I know they keep the pups well cared for and safe.
Fantastic place and staff. My golden is so happy and tired after a great day at CampFido. Lake-CampFido Camper since 2023 Woof.
Absolutely love camp Fido! The staff are wonderful and know all the dogs. They genuinely care about them and take good care of our boy Kenobi. He loves loves loves daycare days!
We love Camp Fido! We always trust them with our dog and it's her favorite place to go probably in the entire world! Whenever we say "you wanna go to camp?" she will jump up and start howling to go. They are very detail oriented and know the needs of each dog (ours is a mud eater and they always remember that so she doesn't eat mud like she has at other daycares). They give you daily report cards that we always look forward to getting. They are just the best and always keep our mind at ease that our dog is being taken care of!
We take our golden retriever Apollo here at least twice a month, if not more. He loves playing with the other dogs and with the employees. They always have fun activities lined up, and he always comes home exhausted; Exactly what we want! (I even got this horribly ugly picture of him on the way home once, enjoy). At this point, we have to be careful saying the word "camp" around him, as he'll immediately run to the door in excitement. It's very affordable as long as you don't try and treat it like a kennel. Thanks for being in the area, Camp Fido!
We finally joined Camp Fido last May after eagerly waiting for them to open more spaces for large dogs. Jess and her staff truly care about the dogs and their owners and they are more on top of things than any other doggie daycare we have visited in the area. They take the time to get to know the individual dogs and they are very communicative. Love it here!
Now that my pup knows this place exists, everywhere else is chopped liver 🙄 Camp Fido staff are wonderfully caring, and Jess has gone above and beyond answering questions to help this first-time dog owner feel comfortable. Apparently he even likes baths there - what the heck?! Attached is a representative photo of Owen completely SPENT after a day at CF 🥰 I could not recommend them enough!
My fur baby has been going to camp every day for the last year. We love Camp Fido! The owners and all the staff are great. There's plenty of room to romp, run and play. My pooch is pooped when he comes home lol. Clean facilities and great grooming services as well. I would highly recommend Camp Fido!
Camp Fido consistently puts their dogs first. If you're fortunate enough to get your dog their, you'll have expert care from people who actually care about your dogs. They have designed their enclosures to make sure your dog has a positive experience.
Camp Fido is a fantastic place for dogs! I take my Australian Shepherd (Aussie) regularly. In fact, I have to be careful when I say "Camp Fido" because she rushes to the door in excitement to go to "Camp." The staff is outstanding. The facility is clean and the dog wranglers treat my dog very lovingly. My Aussie comes home tired and content at the end of the day. Another fun thing is that I get a doggy report card with a name of a "best furry friend" for the day. It is worth every penny I pay to go. :)
We reached out to Gabriela on very short notice, and she was incredibly kind and accommodating. Even though she couldn't take in our dog due to pending vaccinations, her decision was thoughtful and considerate of her existing clients' safety. It's clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of all the pets in her care. Highly professional and responsible—thank you for your honesty and compassion!
Gabriela was inexpensive and accommodating, however my dog came home reeking of weed. Then I had to take him to the vet a couple days later because he had gotten a skin infection on one side of his body, so I will not be boarding here again.
Our Dog Tucker had a wonderful 1st weekend at Gabriela's. He was treated like family and made a dog friend. First time we had to leave Tucker but we felt that he was safe and well cared for. Will definitely use her service again!
Just look at this happy guy! So glad someone at my dog park recommended her. Reasonable and accommodating. Will board with Gabriela again!
If I could give more stars I would! Having a Great Dane with separation and kennel anxiety makes it difficult to find a place where I would feel comfortable boarding him. Gabriela truly treats every dog as her own and provides exceptional care. My boy has came home happy tired the times I have used her and not anxious at all. Highly recommended!
Gabriela was very nice and professional. She was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She sent us cute pics of our dog and let us know how she was doing. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely use her again when we are in the area.
She’s very sweet. My dog Kady was very happy there but she was very sad to go home. My dog is looking forward for her next visit 🥰🙏🏾 she gave me updates and I was happy about that highly recommend. Here is a picture she sent me of her watching the plants lol. Thank you 😊
Gabriela is FANTASTIC. Available last minute. Got my shot records to her and she was available for boarding at very reasonable prices. Both of my dogs ABSOLUTELY LOVED being there!!
I have taken my dog Ozzie to Gabriellas on and off since May of 21 for daycare, and he has stayed a few over nights. Ozzie always has a great time and is excited when we pull up to her home. She always takes great care of him and provides pictures and video if you request it. Thank you for all that you do!
Update: it's been a couple years now and I love her even more. Best of all My girl is so excited every time We have been using Gabriella for a couple weeks now we have done doggie daycare during the day and overnight boarding. She is so kind! She makes sure to take care of our precious baby and honestly our dog absolutely adores her. We are definitely helicopter parents and we worry Non-Stop about who we leave our dog with (she has seizures) and honestly I do not worry with Gabriella. Today our Stevie girl was playing pretty hard in the backyard and got muddy and she even gave her a bath before sending her home!
