Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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.
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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 $25 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I am impressed with the staff at Del Norte Kennels, consistently provide a sense of security when we board Micah and Nova. The kennel's exceptional staff, facilities, and reasonable prices make it an outstanding choice. Thank you, Del Norte, for your exemplary care of our pets.
Only place I leave my baby girl when I'm away. Been kenneling her here for almost 4 years. Thanks for taking such good care of Freyja! She loves to jump up to the window when she gets there :)
Our dog was returned with no signs of stress (great!) although he was a little dehydrated (not great) and smelled like a kennel (not great) to the point he needed to be bathed. The staff are friendly, competent and always give an informed but informal report of how things went during his stay (great!).
Pup was taken well care of. The girls are so friendly! Gave me an email update with pictures while I was away for the week. He ran back in the building to say bye.
I just had my GSD stay at Del Norte for nine days and I must say he was well taken care of and my mind was at ease the whole time. I will definitely use this kennel service in the future. Thank you to all the caring staff
We have a fear reactive dog and they were able to accommodate his stay. He gets super excited apon arrival and is clearly well taken care of while on his visits. We will not go anywhere else for both our dogs :)
Our dog went for a last minute stay for a couple nights and they took good care of her. Everyone was friendly and the whole process was fast, efficient and made very easy to book, check in and pick up my dog. Will definitely be using again in future when needed!
Del Norte is looking after our Husky for 6 weeks and we can’t say enough for how attentive and great they have been! Allowing friends and family to stop by to visit him and to take him out/play etc. Kokomo loves going there and the staff are always so excited to see him.
Sarah and her staff at Del Norte are dog-centred people who understood how to let my dog, Jude, feel safe, welcomed, and accepted with patience and smiles. Literally, life savers over the past two years. So grateful!
I have used Del Norte Kennels over 10 times in the last 2 years and they treat my Lab amazing! The staff are all so friendly and loving with the dogs. I would high recommended them for your next trip away:)
Emily is amazing with our pets, very responsible and reliable! It's nice to have the peace of mind when you are away and receiving daily pictures and updates makes us feel in the loop and lets us know our pets are safe. I met Emily while working at a vet hospital and was impressed with her professionalism and kindness then so I feel extra confident she can handle our pets now with her enterprise. We have two senior cats and a senior dog that all need special treatment and meds and Emily as cared for them exceptionally on multiple occasions. On top of it all, she runs her business like a pro. Always getting back to us in a timely manner with very organized and easy to use reservation platform. I would recommend her to anyone who like pets in a heartbeat. Thanks Emily!
No Ruff Days is amazing, the owner, Emily, is very professional, caring, fun and probably my two dogs' favourite person (after their mama of course!) Emily has been looking after my pups 3 or so days a week for the last 6 months and she is a gem. I am never anxious about my dogs when they are in her care and I trust her completely in my home. She is communicative and provides updates and photos after each visit (a highlight for me when I'm at work). I highly recommend Emily and No Ruff Days for your four legged family members!
Emily is amazing! The dogs love her. They get so excited when she comes to pick them up for a walk. We love her too, she is on time and reliable and professional and experienced, and organized. Such a pleasure to work with her.
Emily has been the best ! From weekly social walks to a two week pet sitting with our dog River We came home to a healthy, well adjusted dog and we will not hesitate to use her services again in the future It is so freeing to know that you can go away and not have to worry about anything at home Thank you so much, Emily 😊
So glad I found No Ruff Days! Emily stayed at my place with my dog for about a week and my dog was certainly well cared for. She was prompt to communicate with me and from the daily updates and photos she sent, I could tell my dog was having a blast with her! I had travel delays coming home and Emily responded to my late-night call and did not hesitate to return to check in on my dog very early the next morning. She also offered to help with other things, such as watering plants while she stayed, and she left the place spotless! A very reliable and trustworthy service - highly recommend!
We cannot say it enough.. Emily is amazing! She is definitely a “cat” whisperer. Our shy kitten was so comfortable with her. Getting pictures after each visit put our worries to rest. We would definitely use the service again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for great care for the there babies. Thank you sO much Emily.🐾❤️
Being from the Yukon I was anxious about being in the city with my northern dogs. I cannot thank Emily enough for being someone I fully trust with the furry loves of my life. Gypsy adventured with her every day and Jackson joined on occasion. I appreciate Emily for providing a safe, fun, and amazing service for us all! We will definitely be using No Ruff Days if we come back to the area!
I'm so so happy we found Emily to take care of our two cats for few days!! Emily was incredible and my cats were in love with her!! She sent us updates and I could see my cats smiling in these pics🥹 She's very professional, thoughtful, caring, and will get back to you quickly. I would highly recommend her and her services. We will definitely be going to her again. Thank you so much!!
We have just recently become first-time dog owners and we weren't sure how to manage a puppy while working. Emily has given us great peace of mind when we need to leave our pup home during the day. She is reliable, responsible and goes the extra mile with a note and photos after each walk! As a bonus, our puppy has been working on leash manners during her walks! I would recommend Emily and No Ruff Days Pet Care Services to anyone needing a little extra attention for their pet.
Emily was fabulous with our pets! We have a large dog who can be reactive to other dogs, two cats [1 with special needs], and small flock of chickens. Emily took such great and professional care of all of them, and kept us updated while we were away. It’s such a peace of mind to have someone we can trust with our animals.
We are full-time RV'rs and Sprocket is in her 'yoda' years. We found Not Home Alone from the near-by vet. They walked our Sprocket, took Sprocket selfies sending me updates on the phone. She has two medications both they gave no problem and no extra charge for complex feeding instructions. We have used them one two occasions! The first time I left a tip for them-they GAVE me back change, LOL! (i gave them a tip originally because I found their pricing to be a bit low for what they are doing. Im self-employed and know how I value my own time. just honest folks.) Its so nice to go on a day trip to Vancouver and know i can take the late ferry back and not worry about Sprocket or my STUFF! This message is Sprocket approved!
Darryl and Janie are two of the kindest and most careful people you'll meet. They went out of their way to accommodate us on short notice, and our dog came back tired and happy after a good walk and a social day with four-legged friends. They'll take good care of your dog!
Janie took care of our cat Maggie for almost two weeks and we cannot be happier with her services. She is really professional and your pet is on good hands. She gave us regular updates by texts or email which made a big difference for our peace of mind. We will definitely use Not Home Alone Pet Services for our next vacation 😊 Mattie & Ryan
My wife and I recently had Daryl and Janie come to our house to take our dog Bart for walks. We were visiting family in Parksville, and they would come to our house twice a day, take Bart for walks and feed him his supper. They are very professional and know what they are doing. We highly recommend Not Home Alone Pet Services, and look forward to them looking after Bart again.
Daryl and Janie have taken care of our dog, cat and chickens a few times while we've been away on vacation. They have been fantastic about checking in to let us know how everyone is doing and we couldn't be more please with the level of service and care. Would definitely recommend them!
Accommodating, reliable and very friendly. Daryl and Janie are two people you can really count on.
Thanks guys for your awesome care of Barney!
I highly recommend this service for your dogs. My friends dog is so excited when they come pick him up for his hike and so happy and tired when dropped off. Kim and her crew are so great with the dogs
For years Oliver, our doodle, has enjoyed adventures with his Pooch Pack buddies. However, a year and a half ago he lost mobility in his back legs. Thanks to the support of Kim, Melody and Twyla he is back with his pals, wheels and all.
Being from the Yukon I was anxious about being in the city with my northern dog. Shaylee took such good care of my large dog Jackson who needs lots of exercise. I cannot thank her enough for being someone I fully trust with one of the furry loves of my life. They adventured almost every day over 2 weeks and both Jackson and I appreciated her providing such an amazing service for us both! We will definitely be using Part of the Pack if we come back to the area!
Kim and her team are fantastic, our pup has been going for weekly hikes since he was 6 months old and he’s now almost 2. He love love loves it (like vibrates as he hears the van pull up), her staff are very friendly, great with dogs, and are willing to work with a couple little behavioural issues our pup has which is so fantastic. The pick up and drop off are so convenient, they’re flexible if schedules change and always try to accommodate. Highly recommend !
I have been using Pooch Pack for five years now, first with my older Husky cross, Ava, and now with my new Husky puppy, Anouk. Kim and her staff have done a terrific job taking care of my two dogs. They are always so excited to go and come back happy and tired. What is so special about Pooch Pack is that the staff really does take a PERSONAL interest in the well being of the animals they work with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pooch Pack to anyone needing a off leash dog hiking service.
I love Pooch Pack Andventures and so does my 4yr old Golden. It's great to know that while I am at work he is off socializing and having adventures with well trained staff who really do care about the dogs in their care. Coming home to a tired dog is the best. Kim is always very accommodating with scheduling and I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. Money well spent.
We just want to send a shout out to Pooch Pack Adventures. Our dog, Belle goes out on 2-hour hikes twice a week. She comes back happy and exhausted and it's changed her whole demeanor when we take her to the beach or any other off-leash area. She was never really socialized with other dogs before we got her, but being with a regular pack a couple of times a week has made her more outgoing and playful with other dogs that she meets up with. We can't thank Pooch Pack enough for providing her with such wonderful experiences! 💖
Puppies and pokies has been an amazing introduction into pack hikes. Our dog trainer said that this style of socialization is the best type as it’s much more natural to a dog’s behaviour than hanging in a fenced yard. Kim has great communication- weekly reminders and answers and questions quickly. Her staff are very sweet and committed to the dogs. Our girl would race them to get in the van if they would let her. I appreciate that a focus on dog obedience is important and that it isn’t a wild free style like I imagine it would be if there were lower expectations. Highly recommend.
My one year old Golden loves his hikes with Pooch Pack! It is such a wonderful way to get your dog some natural social time and exercise with well trained pack leaders! Sully has only benefited from this awesome service coming home with better recall and social skills! I would highly recommend this to any dog owner who wants a safe, natural experience for their pup♥️
My boy has been going weekly with Pooch pack for over 6 years. Kim and her team are amazing and my dog is excited to go each week. He is a complete couch potato the next day! I give all the credit and thanks to Pooch Pack for his great off leash behaviours and recall.
Kai’Re and I just finished our Kindergarten Graduation! I cried the happiest tears coming home this evening because I’m so grateful for how kind, patient, informative and fun our trainer Stephanie is! Seeing the transformations my puppy and her class mates made in just a few weeks was so great. They are all such good pups. Thank You so much!!! We are so excited to sign up for the next level offered at Wild Tails 💗🐕
Started taking my little guy here for socialization. He loves it! The staff are awesome. I book online which is easy. I have worked with Stephanie for training. She is extremely helpful and trains in a way that is easy to understand to continue at home training. Highly recommend. Thank-you.
Brought my Pomeranian in for his regular groom. First time visiting Wild Tails and Cindi did a perfect cut! Their staff were all friendly, the common areas were clean, and my dog seemed very happy when I picked him up. Will absolutely be returning!
I took my 1.5 year old duck tolling retriever Bane to Wild Tails for grooming a week ago for the first time and they were amazing. I was so nervous to try a new groomer, but I wanted one closer to home. Tori was my groomer and she was fantastic. Tori came out into the waiting room to meet Bane and she sat on the floor with him for their meet and greet. Tori listened to all my concerns and explained things very thoroughly. When I left Bane didn’t even notice I was leaving because he was so comfortable with her! She did such a beautiful job grooming him, he was literally perfect! I heard great things about Wild Tails from a close friend which is why I chose them. Highly recommend Tori :)
Wild Tails did an amazing job with grooming my long-haired cat. Their communication was great but I was still a bit nervous as she's quite timid. I clearly didn't need to be though because she came back so happy. I can't believe the difference it's made with shedding - no more clumps of fur everywhere!
Great staff. You can tell they are all true dog lovers. My Brittany had a great haircut and we will definitely be back.
Brought my dog Zeppelin there for grooming. His first proper groom and wash. He did awesome. The staff is awesome. Highly recommend. Will be back 👌 …
I have taken my golden retriever here twice in the last 6 months for a full groom. The first time was based solely on Google reviews, as they all sounded so positive! The groomer went over in detail with me what I was looking for, which was a full cut making sure to remove all of the feathering and long hair on my guy. After I had picked him up, I realized how long his hair still was and called to ask if it could be fixed - They were amazing and had him come right back in to fix it up at no charge, apologizing for the unfinished groom and applying a 20% discount for his next visit. Great customer service and I was SO happy with his final cut & the de-shedding lasted a very long time. I decided to bring him back again this past week, to utilize the 20% discount, and I am very disappointed and feel defeated again by the outcome. I was charged an extra $20 on top of the base rate for "excessive shedding", which defeated the 20% discount, and caused the price to go up. I fully realize a molting golden in the spring can produce a lot of hair, but this extra cost is not discussed prior to the session and I had assumed "de-shedding" to be apart of the normal grooming cost, as I was not charged extra his first visit. The final cut has missed huge portions of his feathering all along his side and belly, leaving him looking untidy and dishevelled 6 days post-groom, after it was clearly indicated that all of the feathering was to be removed and a "tight and tidy" cut was to be done - I explicitly asked for it all to be removed & very short this time. His shedding has not been reduced in the least (even though I was charged extra) and hair has been coming out in piles since the day after the groom. I feel defeated by the amount of money I have spent, just to yet again not have the desired outcome that was originally discussed during the assessment with the groomer. I do not leave reviews for businesses and usually suck this kind of stuff up, but after spending close to $300 (with tips) at a business and both times feeling disappointed afterwards, this has now created some frustration. *Response* Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the time you have taken to respond to my concerns. In response to your surprise at my review, as you can imagine, it can be quite uncomfortable for a customer to provide honest feedback in the presence of multiple staff members when standing at a counter waiting to pay. At that specific moment, I was more concerned with speaking to the groomer about the unexpected charges than I was with fully inspecting Koda for the length of his coat, which is not what the conversation was around - he looked lovely from the quick glance I took of him but it was not until I got home that I came to the realization that his coat was quite a bit longer than the last time he received the "tight and tidy" groom, and my disappointment and frustration grew from there. I assure you, if someone were to inspect his coat length at this point, it would be extremely apparent he did not receive a tight and tidy cut. I do not mind paying for an increase in price for a consistent grooming experience, it is more the fact that I have now paid a substantial amount for the deemed "shorter" cut but did not receive one, which has caused the unfavourable review from me, as well as the amount of hair that has continued to come off of him this past week. I will try to be more forthcoming in future interactions with businesses I utilize, ensuring I am completely satisfied with the services provided before leaving. Thank you for your time.
The staff are really friendly. They clip my dogs pipers nail, and she isn't the most cooperative. lol, they handle her really well. I can see how much they love each and every animal that comes in. They also groom our dog noctis the black pom, and he always comes back so soft and fresh!
Excellent service and definitely a pro. I've groomed my cat in 3 different places before coming here, and my experience was either a horrible, patchy trim, or my cat came out stressed and unhappy. But with Nanaimo Pet Services, yes the grooming took a while, but she really knew what she was doing. My cat came out a pretty lion with a handsome mane, and he was so calm and happy. The groomer really took her time to gain my cat's trust. Amazing and highly recommended!
Family vacation on the Island and could not find a pet-friendly place - we boarded our border collie puppy (high maintenance!!) with Tom & Lucy for almost 2 weeks with some visitation and outings. Tom was fantastic in managing the puppy dynamics in a very thoughtful, patient, and loving way and Lucy was so gentle and tolerant. Lucy is a little savant and Tom truly understands dogs. He was responsive, reliable, and easy to talk to. We strongly recommend their service.
Tom took my Lucy kinda last minute & she was ‘family’ immediately. He kept me aprised with updates the whole time. Replaced a harness that she got out of. Sent pictures. Was sensitive to my hospitalization situation & as flexible as one could ask for. Excellent reports, prompt to answer calls & messages. Great prices. Beautiful fenced backyard…. I recommend him, will use him again with zero hesitation
Tom is a lovely person and loves dogs! His little beagle Lucy is very cute and friendly. They both take excellent care of our dog! When we walk our dog past Tom's house, he drags us to the door!
First time our dog was boarded, they told us not to come back. Tom and the luscious Lucy, the beagle, welcomed him into their house and onto Lucy's couch. Walks, treats and fun. We'll be back. Thank you Tom and Lucy.
Freddy our Bassett Hound loves going to Tom & Lucy’s.
I've been handing over 2 large dogs to a very capable staff, no issues, and great care for two plus years running. Dogs can't wait to get there each time, tuckered out on the way home, perfect!
LOVE this place and would be lost without it! My Chocolate Lab full is full of energy and this is the perfect place for her. She is very tired when I pick her up at the end of the day, just the way I like her! The staff is very knowledgeable and kind with all the animals. They take the time to play with them and keep a good eye on the interaction with the other dogs. I find the cost very reasonable and the girls super easy to get along with. 5 stars in my book!
Been taking my small dog here for over 8 years and love how he's all played out and tired at the end of the day. The hours work well for work schedules. Lots of big dogs here but the Crew always make sure that dogs of all sizes are welcome and have a safe place to socialize.
My dog loves it and the ladies are fantastic. They are great about painting videos so you can see your furry friends having fun and are very helpful about accommodating your pet.
I take my boxer there once a week.. he LOVES it. He gets super excited when he realizes that he is going to the playcare for the day. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Tigger gets so tired from playing all day that my husband and I usually head out for the night (dinner, movie, climbing) without feeling bad on days that Tig goes to the playcare. We usually don’t do that during the week because Tigger has to stay home alone all day so we always feel bad leaving him, but not when he goes to the playcare. I do recommend Dog Star.. it's awesome.
The best! My pup loves it here and it has been a great socialization tool. The staff and other dogs are all awesome.
My dogs love Dogstar and the staff, they are caring and a wonderful group of people. Would never take them anywhere else. Highly recommend them
Misinformed about their services was very disappointed travelling from out of town thinking the whole time they had a safe area for smaller dogs that dont like big dogs then to find out they have one huge room with tons of huge dogs that they were spraying in the face with water to get them to stop barking....might be a great place for big dogs but not tailored to a smaller pet
The staff are very helpful and professional I have taken my dog Finlay there and staff are on hand playing and caring for your pet as well a very clean establishment. 😎🐶🐶🐶 …
Thank you to Linda and the staff at Dogstar Doggie Daycare for watching my dog! Kind and professional people who try their best to accommodate!
Gloria is amazing with our dog She is a true dog handler and trainer.
K9s Unleashed has been AMAZING for my Portuguese Water Dog, Nixon. He has endless amounts of energy and when I come home from work, he’s happy & tired! Anne is incredible with him. Within a few weeks, I noticed incredible behavioural changes in him. One of the big changes being that he doesn’t bark as much as he did in the past. I feel so confident not only leaving our dog with Anne but also giving her keys to my house! Nixon is in Heaven with her & so are we!
I was walking my dogs today and ran into Annie walking her pack of 8 very well behaved dogs, not once, but 3 times. She called the dogs and altered her route to give me space to enjoy my walk. On top of that, I could hear her talking to the dogs in a very kind and upbeat voice the whole time. It was a very positive experience!
I cannot say enough good things about Anne from K9s UnLeashed. I switched to her company after not being happy with a different one. Anne took my dog and myself in with open arms and was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Anne is always on time and communicates with her customers efficiently to keep everyone in the loop. My dog Honey absolutely loves Anne and waits by the door for her every Wednesday morning. - Plus the pictures of the dogs on the trails make your day 100% brighter. You can tell they are having a blast! I would recommend anyone to K9s Unleashed!
I cannot say enough good things about K9s Unleashed. Anne is great, and both my pups absolutely adore her. They are beyond excited to see her when she picks them up for walks twice a week. Pick-up/drops off are so convenient, and the hikes are substantial. Harold and Hazel always come home calmer, happier, and healthier. Anne has always treated my pups like family. I have never had any concerns for their safety or wellbeing in her care. She is incredibly friendly and reliable, and her service is well worth it. If you're looking for a dog walker, she's the best!
My Beagle has been hiking with K9 Unleashed for 4 years. He always comes home tired and happy. I love being able to see his adventures at the end of the day through all the amazing pictures and videos Anne posts. It's also very reassuring knowing he is wearing a GPS collar on the hikes. Safety is definitely a top priority for K9 Unleashed. Anne is always reliable and very accommodating. Highly recommend!
Anne is kind, knowledgeable, responsible and professional; everything you would want in a person whom you trust with your pet. My dog is shy and fearful of new dogs but he jumps right in to Anne's van full of his pack mates. His recall on our off-leash walks has improved dramatically. So glad we signed on with K9's Unleashed.
Anne has been hiking our young springer spaniel for several months now and it has been a blessing! Our 1 year old Rupert was a runner on hikes and she handled him with such ease and he is now worlds better at recall. Her GPS collars gave me peace of mind as well. Such a great service to burn off some of that puppy energy while socializing and learning puppy etiquette. Couldn’t recommend more!
Annie is amazing with the dogs, I feel safe with her taking my dog on walks and the GPS collar is such a great feature so I feel he is in good hands and well taken care of! Don't know what I would do without her, our dog loves her to bits. Highly recommended!
Anne Bright, K9s Unleashed, has been walking our dog, Teddy, for about 3 years now and we have been very pleased with her services. Teddy looks forward to his pack walk every week. He knows when Anne is about to come from watching our body language, and he goes to the door with his tail wagging waiting for her. Before the pandemic, when Anne would come right to the door to get him hooked up to his tracker, he did the cutest little excited squirming. It's clear that he gets a lot of exercise with her because when he gets home he has a nap, which he doesn't do even when we take him on a long walk. In our household Teddy gets about an hour and a half of walk every day, but we still send him with Anne so that he gets to socialize with other dogs. Every once in a while he'll meet one of his Pack Pals on a regular walk and the two of them will play for a bit before the walk resumes. Basically, if you want your dog to get extra exercise, and to make new doggie friends, and be well taken care of - we recommend that you send your dog with Anne!
Anne is amazing with our dog lola and i fully trust her. Lola loves her off leash hikes and cant wait to go. When she sees anne she gets excited and happily goes with her. When she returns she is happy and exhausted! It is a great service and could not say anything bad about anne and her coworkers. I would recommend k9 unleashed to anyone with a dog who is great with other dogs and loves being off leash.
I’ve had an extremely busy summer going out of the country three times. Helen cared for my two cats each time, once on very short notice. She was flexible with her dates and was amenable to extensions when needed. Helen updated me via texting and helped out by watering plants and taking out the recycling garbage bins, once on her own accord. Upon arrival at home, although miffed with me, my cats were calm, happy and well fed. I highly recommend Helen Walker’s service!
Helen is a very reliable and caring cat sitter. We have been using her for several years and always feel very comfortable leaving our cat, knowing that Helen will be coming in every day to feed our cat, play with him, love him and deal with the litter tray. I would highly recommend her.
Helen has been our petsitter for several years, and she is wonderful. She is always reliable, and very good with our cats. I highly recommend Helen!
Helen is great with my dogs which can act shy and aggressive with strangers. She is available on both short notice and booked well in advance. She is reliable and most capable at looking after my dogs.
Honest and reliable. I would definitely recommend.
Highly recommend! 4 Paws up!! The only place I will send my girl. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby but it’s clear that Luna (my Weimaraner) absolutely loves her stays at Wishbone! As soon as we turn onto Dunboyne, she can hardly contain her excitement. Her eagerness to reunite with Erik and his team speak for itself. They truly treat the pups like their own. Erik is a gem of a human-proven by the many tail wags in his presence! He is caring, energetic, knowledgeable, reliable, a great communicator and leads his team well. He truly cares for the well being of the dogs. Thank you for consistently providing such a safe, comfortable and fun pup vacation!
Erik, Jazzie and the crew at Wishbone are the best. They are so caring and devoted to the pets that are with them. Obviously I miss my pup, but I’m not worried about him when I’m away, which is so important to me. I wouldn’t leave him anywhere else. When I pick him up he is happy and well looked after! They get lots of walks, snuggles and I get updates and pictures which again, helps me not worry and is a testament to their professionalism and their inherent understanding of the attachment between a pet and their owner. They go above and beyond to ease the anxiety of leaving their pet behind. Wishbone is simply the best.❤️ I am so thankful i found them. Many thanks always Gail McIntosh and Wilson
Erik is an absolute joy to communicate with. Super responsive, helpful and accommodating of my last minute request for my dog-reactive dog. It is clear Wishbone puts a lot of heart into their work.
I was amazed and grateful for how well Eric and his staff at Wishbone cared for our furred family member Wilbert while we were away from home. We had never been parted from him before so the update texts, photos and videos Eric sent kept us connected and allayed any fears we had of the separation. Eric’s unflagging enthusiasm for caring for Wilbert and Wilbert’s obviously happy demeanour when we were reunited were all we needed to keep Wishbone as our premier away-from-home home for our beloved canine.
We were so relieved to find a safe place for our fur baby last minute! I loved how Finnick was able to go in and out on his own! Next time we will remember to Bring his Food, Favorite Toy and Blanket. These Folks were so kind and accommodating, I highly recommend Wishbone Pet Boarding! Thank you for giving Finnick a safe place to be when our original dog care was canceled.
We are so very happy with the care received while our boys stay with Erik. They absolutely adore him and the feeling is mutual. They are always happy when we drop them off. Erik has been excellent with the needs of our oldest dog who requires medication administration. After having house sitters for years it was difficult to make the decision to board them but after 2 days, we knew we made the right decision
I am more than happy to share with everyone the wonderful care that my cairn Dexi receives at wishbone. She has been going there regularly for well over a year now and is always wagging like crazy as we arrive. It’s obvious that Erik and his crew love all the dogs and treat them so very well. They are totally professional and yet friendly. Am so glad to have a home away from home for my little dog. No fuss, no muss, and no worries! Nikki
I travel a bit for work, and with having a large breed dog it can be difficult to find an appropriate place for him to go. To make matters more complicated, Astley is a bit timid, still being introduced to socializing, and IM not super confident in the care of my animals being up to my expectations while im away. To say I have high standards would be grossly conservative at best 😬. Within minutes of us leaving we received photos of Astley rolling around happily with the crew at Wishbone, and through the week I received updates, photos, and even a couple questions so staff could ensure they were making the best choice for him while we were away. When it came time for me to pick him up he was as happy and sweet as ever, with big tail wags, puppy smiles and bounces, and was very clearly comfortable and bonded with Erik. Before leaving I made sure to confirm he had a spot if/when I ever need to go out of town in the future. I am INCREDIBLY grateful to have found a place I feel confident in taking care of him to the standard I feel all animals deserve. Thank you, sincerely - from Astley and his sidekick (me)
Erik and his team are fantastic! They genuinely love all the dogs and take excellent care of Oby, who can be sensitive around other dogs! Erik always does his best to accommodate Oby, even if it is a last-minute request. I highly recommend Wishbone to anyone looking for a safe place for their dog!
We have had our Doberman there twice now. She will most likey visit yearly as we like to vacation! They are great and she seems to love it there. We know we can relax knowing our baby is in good hands!
