Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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!
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!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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.
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, $25/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!
Our family gives "four paws up" to Mae and Whistle NW Doggy Daycare, where we adopted our amazing lab puppy, Willow, one year ago. Mae had been caring for our girl for about two months and preparing her to find her forever home. We brought home a well-socialized, well-trained pup. Since then, we have continued to board with Mae when we travel and reach out to her as a resource. She is knowledgeable, a great communicator and the biggest dog lover you'll ever meet. We highly recommend Whistle Doggy Daycare, whether you are adopting or boarding. (The picture with the kids shows our first meeting with Willow at Mae's place; the other pictures show what a fun, energetic dog she has grown into.)
Mae with Whistle NW is amazing! We adopted our deaf puppy from Mae and she truly went above and beyond with her care and training for our Ducky! She set him up so well given his special needs and we are so happy we were able to adopt him from Mae! We often send Ducky back to Mae for boarding and he LOVES to go back and see Mae and the fam and all his puppy friends! I do not have enough good things to say about Whistle NW. We are so lucky to have found our special guy from Whistle NW.
Mae is simply amazing! Her knowledge about dogs is unparalleled, and she has the biggest heart. Mae takes in so many dogs as rescues and works tirelessly to find them loving homes. We were fortunate enough to have her place our puppy, Willow, with us. She thoroughly vetted us to ensure Willow was going to the right family, and we couldn't be happier. Whenever we go out of town, we trust Mae to board Willow, knowing she is in the best hands. Mae's dedication and love for dogs are truly inspiring. Highly recommend her services!
This place is amazing! We just adopted our new puppy Padmé (Nugget) and couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, they have been amazing at making sure everything went smoothly. We have been looking for a while for the perfect puppy to add to our family and then we found her! Now our family is complete! We would definitely look into them when looking to add to our family in the future as well as using them for boarding our dogs. Thank you so much!! ❤️
My little dude absolutely LOVES his time at Mae’s! Ollie is now an 8 month old Aussiedoodle with some separation anxiety issues and Mae was super kind and encouraging both during our initial assessment and the times he stayed with her. She gave us lots to work on at home and we both saw definite improvements in Ollie’s ability to self soothe and calm in the crate. He gets excited when we pull into our street and Mae has been so incredibly accommodating of my weird work schedule as well as my lil pup’s eccentricities. I feel so grateful knowing he’s not only being looked after in a safe environment, but that he’s encouraged to play and be social with both people and dogs. I’m so grateful to Mae and feel so lucky to have connected with Whistle Dog. (Pic is one that Mae sent during a day-sitting - happy happy dude!)
This is the best kept secret in Vancouver, but shouldn’t be! I was gone 9 days and my regular place was closed so I reached out to Mae! What an amazing experience for me as a long time user of various dog boarding facilities over 16 years. By far this is my favorite place! Mae does such a great job with updates and pics, I just picked up my Aussie after 9 days boarding and she is happy, tired, and all smiles! I will not hesitate to refer this facility and add a HUGE recommendation. Thank you, Mae for caring for my fur kid while I traveled 😊- Brandi
Our 5 month old doodle loves going to daycare with Mae. I’m so grateful for Whistle NW. Mae is a dog person to her core, so it’s easy to trust her completely with our Ozzy. I love that Mae is very responsive by text and we get fun updates and photos throughout the day. If you’re looking for someone to love on your pup, look no further.
Whistle NW Doggy Daycare and Boarding watched our two fur-babies in September while we were out of town. Mae was very patient and responsive to my helicopter Mom tendencies. At pickup both my kids looked like they had a fabulous time while we were off! I will absolutely use their services again.
So happy to have found Mae and Whistle NW Doggy Daycare. Our dog is such a social guy with a lot of energy and really thrives best when he gets to go to daycare at least a couple times a week. He absolutely loves coming to Whistle and has so many friends there. Mae is amazing and so helpful. She has a love for animals that I have never experienced before. I wholeheartedly feel confident every time my guy spends the day or overnight at Whistle. I highly recommend this daycare/boarding if you are looking for someone to love your dog as much as you do.
I cannot even begin to tell you how fantastic Mae was with our boy! We were traveling through town and needed an (unexpected) dog daycare! Mae was so gracious in letting Scottie join the crew for two days, but still made sure to do a full check for behavior, vaccinations, etc., before we showed up. If I lived in Vancouver, she would be my go to doggie daycare. She sent updates throughout the day and Scottie was so excited to go back the next day. ( I have never seen him that excited for daycare!) 11/10 service and love!
Most of the employees are nice and love my dog but the manager is extremely rude.Several times the staff gave us various times for drop off and, after calling to make sure, an employee said I had a window in which to drop off my dog. Upon arrival the next day the manager told me "this was not what was communicated to you" - basically calling my husband and I liars, wouldn't take my dog for the day (because I was 13 minutes late, although within the window I was given the previous day), and said she was doing us a favor by "accommodating" our dog.I acknowledged that I had missed the cut-off time, and understood she couldn't accept him that day, but disagreed with her about what had "been communicated to me." If she and her staff had made it clear that I must arrive by 10 am, then obviously I would have done so and not at 10:13.I am not unreasonable nor am I stupid.I can tell time and I don't expect special treatment.I said I'd like to talk to the owner and asked for their name, so I would know who I would be talking to, and she said she was "unable to disclose that information."And then she said she was finished arguing with me and walked away.Who treats customers like that?The owner of the business is a secret?We spend thousand of dollars a year here in day care and boarding.I deserve to be treated respectfully, have my questions answered and receive clear, consistent communication.I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and do do not recommend this place, solely on the consistently appalling treatment we, as paying customers, have received from this manager.I will not be so indiscreet as to name her but the owners need to know she is driving customers away.
We have nothing but praise for Mountain View Play and Stay. We use them both for boarding and daycare/socialization. The staff members go above and beyond to help our (sometimes quite nervous) dog have good experiences. The regular, controlled socialization has made a very positive difference in our dog's demeanor and sense of well-being around other dogs. We also appreciate the thorough screening procedure, the attention to detail regarding health records, and the friendliness of the staff towards us humans us well. 5-star for sure!
My little miss marigold loves her daycare days here. I also appreciate the occasional pictures they take since they don't have live cams to watch your pup playing.
My dog loved his stay - they sent pictures of him on the second or third day showing him playing outside. His tail was up and he was racing around. So glad we found a new home away from home for our beloved little chihwienie.
Staff is very kind and interested in the comfortability of your dog. Prices are very competitive for their boarding service and it's veterinarian owned. If anything is to happen the vet clinic is right next door! Will never be using Rover again.
These folks are one of a kind! If you want a safe, fun, loving and comfortable home away from home for your puppies this is where they belong. All the staff were so pleasant to work with, reasonable, and particularly accommodating to all our pups needs. We had an extended boarding need due to the emergency situation at our home. We were temporarily displaced as a result and it was stressful for everyone except for our dogs thanks to Mountain View. Savannah and Autumn were particularly amazing members of the staff! Olive and Smokey forever love you guys!
Love, love, love this place! Pam and her staff are wonderful, patient, kind and loving with our dog, Mac. He gets so excited that his whole body shakes when we ask him if he wants to go see "friends". He knows that means going to Mountain View Play and Stay for a day of fun or for boarding. The staff works hard to assess each dog's personality and compatibility to ensure that all the dogs have constructive and positive interactions with the other dogs. We also appreciate that they have been keenly observant and have pointed out some minor health issues with our dog that may have gone unnoticed by us. We really can't say enough good things about this place. My husband and I highly recommend them.
I have been taking my dog to Mt. View Play and Stay since he was 4 months and he is now 2 years old. The staff take an keen interest in the dogs and how they interact with each other. I can just call the same day and ask if there is room and they say “bring him in”. They have adapted well to the coronavirus and now come to the car to pick him up. Staff members are positive and definitely love dogs. My dog loves going to doggie daycare!!
Mt View has extremely compassionate, well trained people who happen to love dogs. My dog nearly jumps out the car window when we pull into the driveway. The staff are very transparent and excel at communication with the owner. They are fantastic!
This is what the dogs say Bark bark, sniffle scratch, bark wper turn circle and chase tails. Our dogs love the place and playing with their friends
We love camp bow wow. Their app is great to manage reservations and book boarding/daycare. Our dog has stayed there many times overnight during trips. I know she is in good hands there! All workers are attentive and truly get to know your dogs.
I don’t trust many with the care of my little furry girl- but I do trust Camp Bow Wow- they are always friendly and supportive- and great at communicating any issues or health concerns that might arise
Our pup is super happy every time he goes there. They are welcoming and caring and sometimes lifesavers when life gets crazy. Love Camp Bow Wow. From AZ to WA they do not disappoint and we are very grateful we found them.
Hank, our golden doodle absolutely loves Camp bow wow. They are always friendly and know all about Hank and he has the best time. He gets groomed while he is there and it is just so convenient for us to drop him on our way to work.
I love the hours because I can work a full shift knowing that she's having fun, she's safe, and I don't have to rush to pick her up. I also love that I can check in on her at any time thanks to the cameras. It makes my breaks very enjoyable. The staff is also very friendly.
I have a young pup who goes to camp about 3 days a week. Doggy daycare is a great way for him to socialize with other dogs and his behavior at home has improved since he now has an outlet for all his puppy energy. Plus they have doggy cameras.
Camp Bow Wow's daycare has been a great experience for my dog, Yenn! She's always excited to go and always tired when she comes home - which is exactly what a dog parent wants. The staff is always kind and professional and they have the cutest events for the holidays. We've been going here for months now and continue to do so. Thanks Camp Bow Wow team!
I know that my dogs will be well cared for when they stay at camp bow wow. They have helped my shy pittie mix become more confident and my senior maltipoo is safe and comfortable.
I love camp bowow because it’s super convenient for me and my family to drop our dog off whenever we are going out of town. Also, the staff are super patient and sweet with our naughty dog Loki 😂. Our little rascal is one year old turning two this year and he is a handful. I love that I can drop him off any day of the week when there’s availability for him to burn some energy.
I absolutely adore this place for my boys! Please continue with the fantastic work.
If you're looking for an alternative to the impersonal experience of using an app to find a random pet sitter - I can't recommend Leave It To Shoo! highly enough. She's easy to set up with (just 1 short visit to determine pet needs) and very communicative while you're away - provides daily updates and pictures of your pets. (Examples pictured) My pets were loved and taken care of by Shoo while I was away - and that's all than you can ask for!
We have had the best experience possible with Leave it to Shoo for the past 3 years. It is such peace of mind to know that our cat is being so well taken care of while we are away. Shoo has the key to our home on a permanent basis; we trust her implicitly. She always either answers her phone or gets back right away when we need to book her. She never has a problem working us into her schedule. Shoo brings in the mail, makes sure the house is secure, and always leaves a note and extra food and water for our cat on the last day. The litter box and surrounding area are kept immaculate. We can tell that Olaf has had a great time while we are gone because he is not vocal or clinging when we get back! They play together and Shoo gives him lots of love. We have no hesitation recommending Leave it to Shoo for in-home pet care!
Sharon was absolutely wonderful with all our animals (fish, parrot, cats, dog)! She sent us daily pictures and updates on how everybody was doing while my family was absent, and communicated very quickly and competently in handling a prickly situation with our not-too-friendly dog. She reads animal behavior very well, is very responsible and resourceful, and we highly recommend her services.
Shoo's been our go-to cat sitter for several years and has been great! She sends daily updates with pictures and keeps our plants alive as well. She is super reliable and responds very quickly. We'll definitely continue using her services for years to come!
Shoo is the BEST! My cat is afraid of everything and everyone, and he warmed up to her right away. She took great care of him while I was away for 2 weeks, and gave me such peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend
Sharon is amazing! I recently moved to the area and, on a short notice, had to find a pet-sitter for my dog and a cat for a few days. Sharon took such a good care of them! My dog can be a little mischievous, so Sharon even built "a fort", so my dog wouldn't get to the cat's stuff. When I got back, pets looked happy and well taken care of. Sharon kept in touch me regularly, informing on how everything is. She definitely does more than just pet-sitting - she even texted me to make sure I landed ok and am safe on the way home. Thank you, Sharon! We just love you!
Sharon is an excellent pet sitter. Sharon pet sat for a week. She took special care of my kitty (a cancer survivor) who needed daily medication. In addition she took care of 2 other cats, and 2 rabbits. Daily she texted me with an update and made helpful suggestions. When I got home, the kitchen was spotless and the animals well cared for. I would use her again.
Shoo is very professional, gives attention to detail, and is a very caring provider for animals. Along with myself, several family members have also used her services. We have known Shoo even before she went into this business, and we trust her completely with our home and animals.
Shoo is great with our 3 cats. She has been cat sitting for us for a few years now and they love her! She is very professional and easy to get ahold of. I am so happy we found her!
Sharon is the best pet sitter. My 2 cats love her.She keeps me informed of what's going on. She texts me pictures.She also is nice to bring in my mail or water my flower pots. Those little things mean a lot.
I felt the need to actually post this after years of not going to this place. I have taken my dog to many dog daycares. She is/ was always over the moon excited and happy. She is not a timid dog in the least. The first concerning thing was that she had a large gauge out of her thigh when I picked her up one day. It looked like it needed stitches. No one called me. I had to ask what happened, no one thought to mention it to me. They said that they thought she was running really fast and ran into a deck? I thought that was weird but things happen…? The second time I got there pretty late and hear a dog freaking out. Clearly in one spot. I ask “is that my dog? Is she in a crate?” The employee quickly responded “uh… idk”. She was the only dog left and then she said they get put in there when they need a break or something along those lines. There were no other dogs there so this was weird. She is also high energy and freaking out in there. Why would I pay for my dog to be in a crate? I asked how long she’d been in there. Another “I don’t know”. There is seemingly no one else there who knows why or how long she’s been in a crate? The 3rd time I go to take her there, the owner is there and she tries to turn around, I bring her in, she cowers, and pees right on the floor in front of him with her tail between her legs. This is not like my high strung, confident, licks-everyone, wags her tail so hard dog. To this day, I have never seen her act like that before. She is 12 years old. This was a years ago and I pass by that place hoping it is closed for good. Do not risk it.
Amazing place I can trust my dog will be happy and safe for the day. Day care pricing is very reasonable and staff is so nice and friendly. They really go above and beyond ❤️ Could not ask for a better place for my doggo to spend time without me!
I have been bringing my dogs to Tail R Waggin at least twice a week since they were puppies (4-6 years). Juli & Charlie are amazing! Juli used to be a vet tech and Charlie is an animal behaviorist. What more could you ask for? When problems come up, they deal with it. We used them for boarding and it's always gone very smoothly. We get great advice about caring for our dogs. They are truly quality people with a quality business and they care for your dogs.
Fantastic place for dogs. My pet loves going there and is exhausted when he gets home. They know animal behavior and reinforce positive behavior. The dogs learn great socialization skills both with people and with other dogs. The place is clean and well kept and worth driving a little extra for. The owners are friendly and pleasant, as are all of the employees. It is also a great place to board your dog when going out of town. I recommend Tails R Waggin to anyone who really cares about their dog.
I have been bringing my dogs here for 7 years. They are always excited to go. They know when they get to go to daycare or boarding because I ask them “If they want to go play with the puppies?” They fly out the door. When we get there, they pull me through it. Each employee knows my dogs names and greets them. Dogs are intelligent, they let you know when a place isn’t safe and if they don’t want to be there. I trust them completely.
Brought my two dogs here over a year. One of my dogs was aggressive with another dog due to wanting to play with the hose they use to clean up mess. Instead of informing us of the situation they locked both of my dogs up each time they were dropped off but continued to take our money. After a few months one of the kids working there told me about it when I asked how the dogs had been that day. So basically this place charged us $50 a day to lock our dogs in a cage. I understand the need to remove a dog that is acting aggressive but to not inform us, lock up both dogs, and then continue to take our money is unacceptable.
Very friendly and helpful people. We brought our German Shepard here because she was destructive when left alone. Charlie spent some time with her and gave us some tips on building her confidence. After a couple of months of her visiting Tails R Waggin a couple of days a week she has become very happy and her confidence level has increased tremendously. I recommend Tails R Waggin to all dog owners, ggod advice and personal attention from people that Love dogs.
We've been bringing our dogs here for the last couple years and are very happy with how our pups are treated. The owners are friendly and work to accommodate us whenever we asked (funeral, baby, vacations). I would recommend Tails R Waggin to friends and family.
( 1⭐️ Star Review) I should have trusted my gut when it told me several times (Tails R Waggin Doggy Daycare) in Hazel Dell is weird. The first sign was when my dog got kennel cough. Next, I had an issue with my debit card, and they treated me like it was stolen. And, it was upsetting but, not as upsetting as finding out they will knowingly withhold information regarding your pet's health, lie to you and abuse your animal. They had been locking my friend's dogs up in a kennel for an entire day and not telling the owners. So. they were paying to have their dog put in a kennel while they were at work. And, it only got out because a new employee let it slip. I was very concerned at this point but somehow kept bringing my dog. Then, last week I hear my other's friends dog refused to go in the door. The first time she was concerned but, after the third trip and the dog was still refusing to get out of the car, she knew something was VERY wrong. Why would her dog be afraid to go in the doggie daycare? Now today I get a nervous phone call 30 minutes before they close to ask if I'm going to come and pick up my dog. I am not sure if they wanted to skip out early or if my dog was the last there but, I wasn't late picking him up, and the call was super awkward. I just can't ignore these signs anymore. Something strange is going on, especially after reading these other reviews.
My dog can't wait to get to Tails R Waggin doggy daycare. She runs to the handler and after doggy daycare she always has to take a nap, which means she's getting plenty of exercise. The staff at Tails R Waggin doggy daycare are very involved with the dogs. My dog just loves it there
This place is great! Our little one loves going here to play with all her friends. The staff is super friendly and provides a safe and comfortable environment for our dog to spend some quality time while we work. It's easy to get set up with appointments, and they are flexible when plans change. No problems to report so far 😀 …
Our dog, Judge loves it . The staff is very special . Tyra the manager is so nice and pleasant. All are very professional and dedicated to the dogs.
Excellent staff and facilities! My grand pup has visited both the East and west locations and is currently attending puppy kindergarten. She has learned so much and comes home content and exhausted. She loves going to school!
I'm always a little nervous when looking for a doggy day care for my pets. But the crew there were so kind and understanding it made it an easy choice. The facility is clean, I got to watch my dogs have fun all day with the workers and other dogs on the cameras. The report cards were a bit of fun and honestly a good show of how much they came to know my dogs in just one day and a sign that they really cared. My dogs came back tired but very obviously happy. Happy I went with them.
I've been taking my dog here for about a year and he just loves it! As soon as we get off the freeway and turn towards it, he starts bouncing around the backseat. Couldn't be more excited to go play! The staff is really nice and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and well maintained. I've never worried about his health or safety coming here, which is huge for a facility that cares for so many animals. They do a great job, wouldn't take him anywhere else.
Staff very friendly & easy to work with... However, I was disappointed with the lack of engagement during my dog's stay (assessment day). As the pet-owner, you have access to live cameras to watch your dog throughout the day which gives you a good an idea of what they do. I think the dogs are just there walking around in a room or outside for Inside/Outside Play (so called). I didn't see any interaction from the staff with the dogs (if so VERY little), no play, no toys.... Not good for my dog unfortunately. Maybe I had too high of expectations!
My little doggie had so much fun! She seemed relaxed and happy when she came home. I appreciated that the people running it seem to really care about the dogs and got to know them personally. The report card was very cute. We'll be back!
We hadn’t brought Bailey to your facility in a long time and she needed to be re-evaluated. The people there always treat the dogs with the utmost kindness and Bailey seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We have used daycare and boarding here before and will continue to do so. We have not found any other daycare boarding facility that we liked in Clark or Cowlitz County, so we’re always willing to drive an hour to board her. Highly recommended! Thanks, Ross & PJ
Wonderful daycare and training! The report cards for every day my puppy, Bubs, is there, the report card how what he did, how he did, and videos of his training. This is so helpful to know in order to continue the same training at home. The yearbook, pictures, and frozen treats you have are great added bonuses!! A Dog's Best Friend, you are the Best!!
A Dog’s Best Friend is the best ever dog boarding, doggie day care, etc. These people are absolutely amazing in how they truly care about the (my) dogs! I am probably on my 12+ years - and my third dog - of going to ADBF. The staff is well educated and compassionate. Numerous times they have gone above and beyond the call for me and my dog(s). I simply cannot say enough about this facility, the Manager and the staff. Double thumbs up for ADBF!
Our beloved furry family, a sprightly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and an adorably quirky Pomeranian-Poodle mix, have truly found a second home at Montage Pet Lodge while we are travelling. From the moment we first entrusted our precious pups to the care of their staff, we've been continuously overwhelmed by the exceptional level of service, care, and love our dogs receive. The staff there aren't just employees – they're passionate pet lovers who go above and beyond to ensure that every dog feels like royalty. It's evident in the way they greet our dogs with such enthusiasm and genuine affection every time we drop them off. Despite our frequent and sometimes extended trips that necessitate long stays for our dogs, we've never once returned to pick up dogs that were anything less than joyful and healthy. Our Pomeranian, who admittedly has his moments of being a bit on the spicy side, receives nothing but patience and understanding from the staff. They're incredibly accommodating, always looking for creative solutions to ensure he feels comfortable and happy during his stay. Their approach speaks volumes about their dedication to their furry guests, focusing on the well-being and happiness of each individual pet. The communication from Montage Pet Lodge is great. Whenever we phone to check in on our little ones, we're greeted with friendly voices eager to assure us that our pups have been good Boys. The peace of mind we have while we're away is invaluable. Knowing that our dogs are not just being cared for but are truly enjoying their time makes our frequent trips guilt-free. Observing our dogs bounding into the lodge, tails wagging with unbridled excitement, further reinforces that Montage Pet Lodge is like Disneyland for them. We hope that Montage Pet Lodge will continue to welcome our dogs as clients for many years to come. In a world where genuine, compassionate care for pets is golden, Montage Pet Lodge shines the brightest. For anyone looking for a place where their pets will be cherished and treated like family this is a good option.
I have a dog aggressive dog (she is great with people, but unfortunately not other dogs), and this facility takes the best care of her. In 2023 I called around all dog boarding locations in the Portland and Vancouver area, and none would accept her or the few that did wanted $100+ / day. Every time I drop her off, they are so excited tonsee her and it makes me feel so good, and that shes in the right place. Anyone with an aggressive dog or reactive dog knows how important this is. Incredibly thankful to have found this place. You can trust your dog is safe here and loved.
Best place around for daycare or boarding. Our dogs love the people and get super excited when we drop them off. Highly recommend!
This was the first time boarding my babies. They go everywhere with me and my husband. I was nervous when we dropped them off. We picked up our babies after 5 days and everything was great! They feed the girls their special breakfast and dinner, daily walks and I paid for extra playtime for them. The staff was very friendly and great when we dropped off and picked up. I will definitely be using them again.
I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful people. This is the only place I will board my very nervous cattle dog. The facility is great, but more importantly the staff have always been amazing for my dog.
This is a great place! They treat my sweet dachshund Bandit very well and seem to be very loving towards him, he usually doesn’t like to be picked up by strangers but doesn’t mind the ladies here holding him, he gets the prince treatment every time and if it wasn’t for them we would have had to cancel our month long cruise in October, I give them a call every time we drop him off to check on him and they are always very nice on the phone I have lots of trust in them and I even found out there is a live in vet teach; gives me so much peace of mind. This is a great place for anyone who loves their pet. Truly an awesome staff!!!
I do not have any complaints about this kennel. My dogs are always happy to see me when I return. They appear to have been well taken care of. I really like that they kennel my 2 small dogs together and let my two large dogs play together. They don't allow customers in the dog kennel (a good thing!!!) So I can't say much more. My dogs do come back sick most of the time but that is fairly normal in a animal sheltering type of environment. I will definitely be using their services again.
Our dog loves his stays here! Friendly and helpful staff.
We’ve used Montage many times when we can’t take our pooch with us on trips. The staff are all super friendly and seem to really care about the well-being of your pet. The kennels are all clean and seem to be well maintained and the outside dog runs are in good order. I love that you can get extra play time for your dog beyond the regular amount of time they get; that’s a nice option. You can even have the staff take your dog for a walk around the property (we don’t as our guy isn’t the best walker, so we pay for extra dog run time). We’ve tried other places and Montage beats them all paws down. Five tail wags (or stars).
Ive never had an experience that made me uncomfortable having Luci there. Always really nice and she always has a big smile when i pick her up. Worth me driving from Portland for.
My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!
Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)
We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!
This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!
We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!
We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.
Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!
Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.
Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!
Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!
