Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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, 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!
They did such a fantastic job on my Loki! Honestly probably one of his best groomings. I will definitely be back!
Sarah is incredible!!! Our miniature dachshunds are really comfortable with her (which is NOT an easy thing). Our oldest really enjoys her "spa day," and she is somehow able to trim our male's nails (IMPOSSIBLE at home) without him hating her or me. I recommend her to everyone I meet, but she is quite busy because of referrals. Book appointments early. Your dog will love you for it.
Sarah is amazing with my fur baby Cobbler. On vacation I tried to get her clipped. I never heard a scream like that. I waited to get back home. Usually any dog would be nervous just going to groomer. Cobbler is always happy to see Sarah.
It was our first time at this place, Sarah was amazing! Super easy to work with and accommodating. I'd rather support a small business owner than a corporate conglomerate. Our only concern is Sarah's drop off window is super small and early and unfortunately doesn't match with our schedule. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make it work with her and become a regular returning customer. Thank you for the awesome job! Our dog looked and smelled great. She was also honest and educated us that we didn't need to cut our dog's hair even though we've been paying PetSmart to cut it his entire life... Thanks again, Sarah
Loveeee her! She is way worth the price especially since she is not pricey ! Because she does a full grooming including hair, nails , and ears! I have mixed dogs and they both have different coats but she handled them both so well. My husky mix her coat felt so light compared to the puff she usually has to deal with and you can tell the difference! My other dog corgi mix has long unruly hair and wow did his hair get tamed and their nails got trimmed so well they don’t hurt! Little bandannas an extra plus! The price and the quality totally worth it! The area is one I grew up around so people that aren’t from there can get intimidated but it’s honestly not a bad area.
I can't say enough great things about this place! My Marley Bob who is a rough around the edges barker came out odd his grooming session looking like a dog from a dog show! They did a splendid job. I'm so impressed!
We have an 8 month old mini goldendoodle and she's never been to the groomer before. I've always done it at home and she started nipping at me and fighting me the whole time. I was nervous to try a groomer due to all the horror stories I've read and heard about. Sarah at the Dog Loft was great with our puppy and said she did perfect! She looks absolutely beautiful! The bath included the haircut, ears, and nails. Such a great value, great place, and our puppy had great care. We're looking forward to her overnight pet sitting!
The Dog Loft has been a great experience every time I go. We’ve been consistently getting both of our pups nails trimmed here and the staff are always friendly and helpful. They’re super quick and efficient, as in I only have to wait in my car for a couple minutes. One of our pups is pretty shy, but they’re always able to comfortably get her in the door and get her nails trimmed with no issue! Would certainly recommend supporting local at The Dog Loft!
This was my first time getting my dog groomed and they treated me and my dog so well. They were flexible with time and did a great job!
I was looking for a groomer after the shutdown because I wasn’t happy with the prices I was paying at Petsmart. I found the dog loft through good reviews and I’m so glad I did. Sarah was responsive and explained pricing. She offers great value for her pricing and it’s cheaper than petsmart. My dog was super handsome when she was done and was in good spirits. He was shedding really bad and I can tell already she did a great job getting hair out in brush and washing. Next time he needs groomed I’ll be setting up with her again.
Jeanette watched my 17 year old cat for 5 days recently. 2x a day w/ medicine in a pill pocket. I am so pleased with the care and love given to my old girl during my absence. I received thorough descriptions, pictures and videos during each of these visits. Jeanette even brought wet cat food treats for her to try when I mentioned she wasn’t enjoying her current wet food, which she loved. The entire experience was so easy and comforting while I was away and would recommend Jeanette and her team to ANYONE looking for any care for their furry companions. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful and I would utilize her services again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything Jeanette!
Jeanette did a wonderful job the few times I had her care for my cat. Within only two visits she was able to coax my stranger-wary cat out from under the bed for pets and playtime. Communication was frequent and I received several cute pictures each day I was gone. If I ever move back to the Columbus area, I would book through Fur Star again in an instant!
I used Fur Star Pet Care for the first time last week when I went on vacation. I was nervous because my cat had never been left alone for an extended amount of time - I was gone almost 9 days. Jeanette provided excellent care for my cat, who tends to be particular about what kind of food she eats. Jeanette was patient and even experimented with combining two flavors of food together. Every day I got a detailed message about how she was doing, including multiple photos (I don't know how she takes such great photos, but what a talent!), how the "bathroom" was going (absolutely no issues there), and what progress had been made with my cat's level of comfort with her. By the end of the week, my cat was purring, playing a little, and eating fine, both regular food and treats. Jeanette also brought in my mail for me which I really appreciated and turned my living room lights on and off since I had lost my light timer. Also, the rates are very reasonable for the service provided. I can't say enough good things about Jeanette and Fur Star. What great service and I will most certainly use them again!
Fur Star Pet Care is a fantastic pet sitting service that I’ve been using for a few years for my cats. Jeanette is a wonderful sitter who genuinely cares about the cats. She sends several pictures every day she visits and provides very thorough updates. She has gone above and beyond for me many times when problems come up. For example, she has helped the cats stay warm when my heat went out and attempted to fix my sink when she noticed it was clogged. I can’t say enough great things about Jeanette and her business. I highly recommend her service if you are looking for a pet sitter
Jeanette has been taking care of our two cats whenever we go away since we moved to Columbus a year and a half ago. She has come to feed and play with them many times (including during one long research trip), and they absolutely love her. We have used lots of pet sitters in the past, and Jeanette is by far the best person we’ve worked with. We always come home to a clean apartment, watered plants, collected mail and packages, and, most importantly, happy cats. 100% recommend.
Absolutely the BEST in-home pet care you can get! I've had them come in to take care of my cat a few times while I've been traveling, and they do an amazing job of making sure my little girl has everything she needs, and then some! Daily updates, pictures of playtime and snugs, even an extra treat or two! I cannot give enough praise to Fur Star!
Jeanette has taken care of our two cats for three years. They have truly developed a special relationship, and I always feel confident that they will be well taken care of when we leave town for a couple of days or even weeks. Jeanette knows their personalities and treats them with great kindness. Recently when my wife and I had our first baby, Jeanette made sure to be available around the unpredictability of the event, and we knew we would find two happy cats to greet our new baby. And, we love getting the updates and pictures twice a day!
I love Fur Star! I have 2 cats (1 with diabetes who requires insulin injections) and they take great care of them when I’m away. Each visit is documented (including with pictures) and they update you on everything they do during the visit. The website is really easy to use to book appointments and to communicate with the owner, Jeanette (who is awesome!), if any questions come up. If you are looking for a pet sitter, Fur Star is wonderful and I highly recommend them!
Finding Fur Star to care for our cats has changed our lives - I know that sounds hyperbolic but it's true. The values that these ladies have when it comes to pet care is remarkable. They truly treat our animals as if they were their own! Directions are followed without fail and they always find ways to go over and above. I never would have thought I'd find peace leaving my animals to anyone outside of family but I have! Their sense of humor in the photo updates they give is such a fun sprinkle on top of already amazing pet care. Love them to pieces!
Jeanette at Fur Star truly loves my pet. I feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She follows the schedule exactly the way I had written out. She sent me lots of photos and the GPS map of the walks. Great experience using their services and I highly recommend.
I have been taking my dog here for a few years. I've never had a bad experience. They are extremely accommodating and the staff are very professional. I honestly don't have a bad thing to say about this location.
Rocky always loves being at camp bow wow. We can travel and know he will be cared for. He gets so excited when he realizes where we are headed when we go to day camp.
Last week we boarded our dog Griffin (which we rarely do) for 3.5 days, while out of town. He stayed at Camp Bow Wow Hilliard. He unfortunately caught a severe case of kennel cough that made it unable for him to handle any of his food/water, and needed to stay with IV liquids for last couple days. I called Camp Bow Wow to inform them of this, and their response was “oh yea we had few cases recently and had message on our door”…. Not once was anything addressed to us before/during/after leaving him with them, not once did we notice any sign or message indicating any recent outbreaks, and we truly feel like their negligence and lack of care truly jeopardized our dogs’ safety and well being. Very rarely do I do this, but I strongly urge each and every one of you to steer clear of Camp Bow Wow! The level of precaution that the doctors at Medvet took to prevent the spread of the infection (suiting up, putting on special gloves, etc.) and not having that same level of care or attention provided from Camp Bow Wow is extremely disappointing and scary for all dogs who stay there. We used to really enjoy taking him there but are sad to say that this horrible experience has cost us thousands of dollars and we will not be doing any further business with them!
Staff is super friendly and I know my dog is being taken care of like one of their own. He comes home tired and wore out from fun every time he goes!
It is so nice for the dogs to be able to roam freely around and play. While it can get busy at times, I was happy to see the employees intervening when one of the dogs appeared to get overly rambunctious. I like that Camp Bow Wow offers half-day daycare as well as full day, and everyone I’ve interacted with there has been fantastic.
camp bow wow is the bee’s knees!!! it is my dog’s favorite place and he gets so excited to go. they know him by name which is a nice touch 😊 i trust them with my dog and i don’t spend the day worrying about him at day care. it’s good for him & me both!! 10/10 recommend!! …
Staff is very nice and friendly. I know my dog likes all of them so she must get treated well. When my dog hears the words Camp Bow Wow she gets extra excited. It is definitely her favorite place to be. I love the fact that they have cameras watching the dogs play that you can check out anytime you like. overall I enjoy taking my dog there because I know she loves that place. She is gets to interact a lot with both other dogs and people. She definitely gets exercise. She's wore out when she gets home from playing.
The staff has taken care to be patient, and get to know my nervous dog. He is truly excited to see them as a result! He loves going there and the staff makes his time there so much more rewarding. My dog truly Digs Camp Bow Wow!!
This place is amazing. Everyone on their staff is super friendly and so helpful. The facility is clean and well maintained. They have an initial interview process which is great to make sure each dog will be a good fit and play well together. Hagrid was always nervous when we first started going but now he bolts right to check in. I have used their day camp and I also boarded Hagrid for several days. They have made last minute accommodations for me and never mind answering any questions I have. Hagrid absolutely loves the girls and is always so excited to go. It’s hard to find a place that you can trust with your fur baby but I’ve definitely found mine! Hagrid is always tuckered out when he comes home after a long day of playing. I trust this staff and place with him. 10/10 would recommend.
Camp Bow Wow has such amazing counselors. They’re always striving to accommodate and create a great atmosphere for our pup!
Pablo’s Pals is fantastic. They are professional, compassionate and extremely attentive. When we go away and have to leave our precious cat we do not have anxiety. They are detailed oriented and deeply caring. We cannot say enough about this amazing company! Excellent, truly exceptional!
We love Pablo’s Pals! Susan and her entire team are fantastic. My pup Bandit looked forward to his weekly walks. Scheduling is a breeze and Susan was always responsive and helpful with last minute requests. All the walkers/carers are friendly and give you updates and photos post visits. The photos were fantastic and I’ve framed a few! John was our main walker and Bandit would be so excited anytime I said their name. Sadly we moved out of the area, but if we ever move back we will be calling the team back! 🐾
Pablo’s is fantastic! We have been using them for over four years and they are completely reliable; they have never missed a scheduled visit. They take care of our dogs when we go on vacations, often a week or longer. They have also been available to watch the pets for spur of the moment activities. We have two dogs and two cats, and they love Susan, Andrea, and Tristina. One of our dogs has a fear of men and they go out of their way to accommodate his needs. They keep us up to date on the pets with photos and notes for each visit, which is really nice. They will also water plants, bring in mail and packages, and they let us know if there are any issues with the house.
Susan from Pablo's Pals is just great with our big pit-mix Toby He absolutely loved her. He was so happy to see her every day. We highly r her services.
I’ve been really happy with Pablo’s Pals since I started working with Susan and co a few years ago. I feel like my dog is truly cared for and well looked-after….he has a great time too! Highly recommend if you are looking for pet care (walking, boarding, etc) in Columbus, OH.
For six years, Pablo's Pals has provided me with excellent home care for my pit bull Samantha, whenever I've left town. The service sends emails confirming that every visit has occurred, along with frequent photos as proof that my pet remains alive and happy, which allows me to enjoy vacations worry-free. Susan and Pablo's other pals do care deeply about the welfare of animals, and in emergencies, have moved heaven and earth to make sure that Samantha the Pibble was well-cared for. I highly recommend this service.
Susan and her team are absolutely incredible. We have benefitted from her services for 4 years and can't praise them enough for the care they provide! The team is caring, attentive, professional, and really focuses on the safety of your pet. They go above and beyond with updates, recommendations, and quality of care. Highly recommend if you want top notch care for your pet!
Pablo's Pals is the absolute best! We started with them when our dog was just a few months old. They have gone above and beyond to care for our dog! Not only with his daily walks and routine but getting to know our dog and helping us with our questions and concerns as first-time dog owners. We love and trust Pablo's and are so thankful for the dedicated staff! Our dog loves every team member and looks forward to his daily walks.
Susan and her team are so wonderful! My dogs love every walk, and I’m so happy that they’re getting exercise and love while I’m at work. I also love getting a picture after each walk! I can’t recommend them enough!
I trust Pablo’s Pals 100% with my dog and coming into my home. They care for my dog as if she were their own and the scheduling is super accommodating for my unusual schedule. The boarding is also a wonderful and welcome alternative to a kennel. I fully recommend their services for your pet and I try to tell everyone I know about them! Since using them I have had peace of mind whenever my dog is in their care.
My dog gets so excited as soon as she realizes that we pull into the parking lot. Her tail wags and she pulls me inside as fast as she can. She loves all of her friends and furiends at Puptown! We utilize the daycare, the boarding and the grooming services and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The staff is always friendly and get excited to see Luckie when she walks in. We also love to follow the Instagram and “report cards” and check it to see our daily pics! Thank you Puptown!
The staff at Puptown are wonderful! Hallie Rae is always so excited when we pull into the parking lot, and I love how happy (and tired) she is when I pick her up.
Puptown has been so easy to work with in establishing our dog in their day care program. Our 1.5 yr old Golden Retriever mix had such a good time at his first day care visit he didn't want to leave. We've already scheduled a few more visits and know he'll be well cared for and thoroughly exercised.
We take our boy to Puptown and we couldn’t be happier nor can he. We get the expedited service so he is not there all day and we always have Dawn as his groomer. She does amazing work and we appreciate it so much.
Our puppy Winnie has had the best experience at this location. The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly and my sweet girl gets to play and socialize with friends! highly recommended for both boarding and daycare!
We love puptown as a second home for our pups. Before we even can finish walking in, the receptionist is already saying "Welcome Lily and Tulip!". They know your pets, and love them. Our two pups can't WAIT to visit for a pupcation. They also groom our pups wonderfully.
I love Puptown! My Golden puppy loves to play with her friends in daycare and is always SO tired when she gets home! I use their grooming and boarding services for my other dogs and they are 10/10 as well!
I love this place. Unlike other groomers where you have to leave your buddy there all day, I dropped Luther off at 10:30 and he was all ready and dapper to go by 1:45! I paid 85.00, but it was his first groom, and his hair was a hot mess! Will be returning. I should also mention I tried getting him groomed at a PetCo, but they had to call me to pick him up because they couldn't control him. Yay Puptown lounge...Luther's ready to hit the town lol.
Our dogs absolutely love the daycare here. And there's no better place to leave your dogs while on vacation. I thoroughly trust this team with my fur babies!
Perfect groomers! Nice people. I drive from Bexley to them becythey rock! Thanks girls!
The two guys that run the business are great and take wonderful care of our pup! She loves to go and always comes home worn out! We’ve been going about 2-3x a week for the last eight months and have referred several friends there too! Highly recommend!
My dog Bailey has been going to Cheryl’s since 2010! I could not ask for better service, kindness and flexibility in helping me over all these years. Justin and John have been there all this time and are wonderful with the dogs! My dog loves going and comes home exhausted. Cheryl has been so kind to me helping me with her separation anxiety and always so accommodating. This place is really a family. I also used to bring 2 shelter dogs over on Thursdays for many years. Cheryl let them come for free to release stress and anxiety. Her kindness and big heart is amazing!! Kelly
Cheryl's is absolutely fantastic and Cheryl herself is wonderful to work with! I have been going to Cheryl's for the last 6 years and my dogs love everything about Cheryl's. From the moment we get off the freeway, they are excited and they pull me into the building without even looking back. And by the time I pick them up they are tired and happy. I have used Cheryl for boarding many times and trust that they will take incredible care of my dogs in my absence!
I took my 6 month old Toy Poodle Chloe here for her first grooming. I had done my research, called multiple places and decided on Cheryl's. I was a little over an hour late picking her up because my hair appointment went longer then I expected but they were so kind and understanding. Chloe was very happy and looked adorable, they even added a pink bow! I am very pleased with Cheryl's and I already scheduled her next appointment.
Second choice?? How about no choice! Never again! 07/24/2015 Today I took my sweet puppy Rambo to Cheryl’s Doggie Day Care to be groomed. I was so excited because it was so close to home and reviews seemed fine. To my surprise it was the worst experience. Cheryl herself was rude and completely unprofessional along with her employee. It all started with a phone call in the middle of his appointment telling me what a poor condition his coat is in and it is so matted, I as his owner should have taken better care. So she later then called me to say it was time to pick him up and that I needed to come within in the hour, which was a surprise to me because I was under the impression he could hang out til I got off work. She then continued to reprimand me for the way his grooming session went, and what a poor condition Rambo’s coat was. What Cheryl didn’t know is we just returned from vacation and have been having a hard time getting into our normal groomer. So that is why I looked and chose her establishment. Which when I told her this she got a rude tone and said “Well I didn’t know I was second choice” and continued to use that tone with me the remainder of the conversation. So we hung up, and I decided my husband better go pick him up right away because I was completely appalled by the service I was receiving by Cheryl herself. I called back to inform her that my husband is coming to get our dog and to discuss with her my disappointment and unhappiness with her unprofessional attitude and due to that we will not be returning. And her response was” that’s fine… (click)”. Cheryl hung up on me while I was still talking to her! So as my husband shows up he is discussing his displeasure to the employee, not only did the employee have the same attitude and quality of service as Cheryl did but he also referred to his boss, Cheryl, the owner of the business a vulgar name but he did apologized for her attitude. Then my husband was extremely unhappy with the grooming, our sweet puppy smelled like he wasn’t bathed, nails didn’t seem to be trimmed at all and smelled as if he was in a barn all day!! My husband decided we weren’t paying for this service; the employee didn’t argue or complain. He said” Have a nice day”, and as my husband was leaving the employee said” enjoy your free (bleeping) haircut”. Seriously!? Is that the kind of establishment you want to take your pet to? It smelled of barn and pee. My dog seemed very scared and unhappy when he was picked up. And the service was more than less to be desired. If this is the way she treats all her clients I strongly fear for their pet’s wellbeing. I have never been so upset that I felt the need to write a review but Cheryl and her company is an embarrassment and everyone should stay far away. The quality of service and establishment is enough for me to tell everyone I know to never go to Cheryls Doggie Day Care on Trabue Rd in Hilliard, Ohio!!
I started taking my pup to Cheryl's 2 years ago. They are under new management from when my dog started going there, and the new owner and his employees are absolutely amazing with the dogs (you can tell how much they care about them) and have definitely put effort into improving the business. My pup is always so excited to go, and is always very happy and worn out when I pick him up. The gentlemen working there take the time to get to know each dog and the owner, and always give a daily report if you ask. They are very affordable compared to other daycares in the area, and have discounts for teachers, OSU students, and multiple dogs. The only constructive criticism I could give is that it wouldn't hurt if they made an effort to have a bigger online and social media presence to improve the reputation the previous owner left behind because they are no longer what a lot of negative reviews say.
I've been taking my dog Brutus, to Cheryl's as long as I can remember. Brutus knows it's day care day and is very excited to go, he walks right in ready for his play day. He is a very high energy dog but comes home exhausted so I know it's money well spent. The staff is great and they treat Brutus like family. I have also used Cheryl for boarding, this provides me peace of mind to know Brutus is well taken care of when I'm traveling. I love the attention provided to Brutus and he comes home very happy.
I adopted an older dog with separation anxiety from the humane society. She wasn't playful but I was looking for a place to take her, where she had some company during the day and could help her be more confident. That's how I found Cheryl's Doggie Daycare. I still remeber when Justin evaluated her, it was love at first sight for both! Cheryl and her staff treat my girl like if she was their own. 6 years later I still take Baileys to daycare every week and I also use their boarding services many times during the year. I'm a helicopter dogmom and they are always very patient with me. Baileys is always happy when I pick her up. The daycare has great hours, competitive prices, clean facility with excellent equipment, multiple services and excellent customer service. They do crafts with the dogs, and have customer appreciation tokens. Cheryl continually gives back to the community with her involvement in animal wellfare and has comped daycare fees for dogs from different rescue groups, not to mention all the dogs she has rescued. She is selfless and has a heart of gold. A year ago I was fostering a little nervous dog and I couldn't have been as successful as I was without the support from Cheryl and her staff, they are a blessing in our lives.
The guys that run this business have been there for many years and are really great with the dogs. We talk and share stories about how the dogs play and who my dog's friends are every time I pick them up. It's not easy to know who to trust and these guys have my full confidence. My dogs get excited when we pull up to the building and that should tell you all you need to know. The cost is very competitive as well, especially for the attention the dogs get!
I have been taking my dog to cheryls for almost a year now. Prior to going to day care we visited other day cares in the area and cheryl and her crew were the most sociable and most friendly of the day cares. My pup comes home very tired from playing all day. The day care is very clean and over the past week the facility was repainted. You can tell the entire crew cares for each and every dog that attends and you know your dog will be safe. My doggie waits by the door each morning knowing that he is going to see justin or jon to start his day and the gals that work their are also very kind and caring. Cheryl does an outstanding job at making sure the dogs are safe and keeps all her customers her number 1 priority!! Thank you cheryl and crew for all you do
Staff is friendly, helpful and it is clean. Dogs look pretty happy. I boarded my dog for the first time for 4 nights and like their day care. Dogs get to go outside. play group or you can have solo play with staff. If your dog has medication they will dispense it. I have only gone to the Hillard location.
Mako received excellent care while boarding. We opted to have him groomed before pickup. He looks and smells fabulous. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
When scheduling our first boarding stay we filled out a questionnaire online, but when we went to drop our dog off they asked us to fill out a paper questionnaire as well. It would be really great if we could do this online prior to drop off at the facility. This way it can be printed and confirmed before we finish drop off. With all the dog gear and managing my pup while filling out a paper form, it was hectic to say the least. The facility is clean and the staff are very kind. You can tell everyone who works here loves animals. We will definitely be using this facility again and love the way they treat our pups!
This place is amazing. We use it every time we need to go away and can't bring the doggies. The is extraordinarily friendly. The place always looks outrageously clean. They provide many services here such as playtime, grooming, one on one playtime. Inside and outside play area. Treats and extra care. Even have some units with camera to look in at your dog at anytime. Pricing is fair and again the staff could not be anymore friendlier than they are. We always get a daily progress report have how the dogs done and any issue that happened. If that eat and how much. Who they had playtime with in the yard or inside depending on weather. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for overnight stay or even just a day care for a few hours. Many options and opportunities
I highly suggest training at Pet Palace with Brandis! Our 8 month old puppy trained with her for 10days and I can’t begin to express how impressed I am with her. She’s amazing! Our dog in only 10days has learned so much and is so obedient. We also boarded a few days during that time and the front desk staff were so friendly and welcoming. I toured the facility and will continue to board here. 5 stars for Brandis and Pet Palace Hilliard! ⭐️
I’ve been taking my dog there for over a year. The staff is friendly. Only downfall is their pricing! Daycare playgroup is included in the price for an hour. Boarding playtime isn’t included only 3 potty breaks. So, if you don’t pay the extra 13 for 2 30 min playtime, your dog will just sit the their crate area all day except for the 3 potty breaks. It’s a total rip off get the pricing together.
Love this Pet Palace. We've been in Dublin for about 3 years, and we use them for our boarding and grooming. The staff is always friendly and patient with our little one, Friday. Lisa is an awesome groomer. Friday is very pickie at his old age, and he always comes back to us super happy when they've had him for a while. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters.
Excellent place! I Can tell my dog is happy to come here every single time. They take care of them as if they were their own. Highly recommend!
I've been taking my pup Maple here for daycare when I go into the office roughly twice a week for the past 3ish years. Never once had an issue. Maple comes home tired but happy, and every time I board her here it's always the same. Full belly, plenty of exercise, and has always made sure she gets her medication. The staff have always been nothing but kind and accommodating (even when I bring her in much later than I initially plan), and you can clearly see that everybody cares about every furry friend that they have. I love and appreciate everything these guys have done for Maple and I!
First time overnight boarding my kitty was a little heartbreaking, but Pet Palace made me feel comfortable knowing she would be taken care. The townhouse kitty condos are spacious and tall for climbing with plenty of things for my kitty to look at like the turtle tank and main lobby for entertainment. She did have an unusual bowel movement incident one night and was given a gabapentin the next morning(which I had brought in just in case of anxiety). My kitty is doing just fine third day back home, but I was not called/notified of the incident when it was discovered.
My dog Galaxy has been going to Homedog’s for 5 years. I have so many wonderful things to say about the owner, staff, trainers, facility, and training opportunities, but I’ll focus on one for this review. My dog and our family has greatly benefited from Homedog’s philosophy of meeting each dog where they are, working on training while also maximizing the environment to help dogs be successful in it. One of the trainers even Zoomed in to one of my dog’s Vet appointments to more fully collaborate on his care. That is some serious dedication to their Homies! We love Homedog’s and are so grateful for their incredible staff.
Working at Homedog Resort was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The owner and staff genuinely care about every pet that walks through the door, going above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease. The attention to detail, compassion, and dedication to each animal’s wellbeing is incredible. They treat each dog like family!!! As someone who worked closely with the team for 2 years, I can confidently say that Homedog Resort prioritizes the health, safety, and happiness of every dog in their care. Whether it's calming a nervous pup or providing endless playtime for an energetic one, the team does it all with love and professionalism. If you're looking for a place where your dog will feel at home, I couldn't recommend Homedog Resort more highly, both as a former employee and a dog lover!
I've sent 3 dogs to Homedog regularly since moving to Columbus and consistently been impressed. They've handled two energetic Vizslas and a shy rescue with the type of care that only comes from a staff who LOVE dogs. As an added benefit, I get to enjoy evenings after work with a tired, velcro Vizsla!
My pup, a GSD, loves this place. Be it for boarding or daycare, he is never hesitant to go. He has developed wonderful relationships with the trainers. Other than being with his “parents”, this is his favorite place to be.
While Charlie had some experience boarding with his old owners, this was the first time I’ve had to board him. He’s definitely the nervous type, and they did such a great job with him! I’m also apparently the nervous type, but Homedog did a wonderful job fielding my questions up to and during Charlie’s stay. It put my mind at ease to be able to check in on pet cams and see that my boy was okay. Though I live out of town, I will definitely use them if I bring Charlie down when visiting family!
Homedog Resort is top dog! Lame cliche but yes, it’s true. We brought our neurotic but loving rescue hound mix to them and they worked their magic making him feel comfortable and happy. They offer Big Dog and Small Dog Play and the boarding is SO nice. I always have guilt thinking of my dog crates in a lonely weird place while I’m on vacation but not here. They have private actual rooms for the dogs. You can board your own fur babies together if you wish and they use rooms according to dog size and number. They’re open on weekends letting the dogs play and feel some normalcy away from home. They are organized and efficient and the staff is great with the animals. We have our vet out of state and they worked with us for proof of vaccinations etc to make sure our pupper, and all the other dogs are safe. They have a live cam to watch your dog as well. I love it here!! We won’t be back in until August but I can’t wait for my dog to go back and have a great time again!
My dog was attending Homedog's puppy school since he was 5 months old and he recently graduated then transitioned to open play when he turned 8 months old. He goes twice a week and he loves it! I'm glad he's more dog savy because of it. Greg, the owner, does all the training and he's very knowledgeable. There are courses you can enroll your dog into to get them even better trained. My American Bulldog mix puppy has been through one already and he's enrolled into yet another. Each course is affordable about $30 each plus you get a discount if your a member. Rates have recently gone up for open play to $28 a visit for twice a week or $224 a month for a recurring subscription. It's a good experience overall but 4 stars because their administrative abilities lack at times. You have to pay attention with the subscription when an extra week occurs within the month because you've got to add it in since the subscription is for 4 weeks at a time. Also they lose track of paperwork often. I think an inner office manager would do them some good. I've learned to trust them but can't understand why they don't seem to understand that that's a learned thing and not a given. Still the best dog daycare in town in my opinion.
Love them. They are so great with all the dogs and quick corrections. My dog only goes once a week but that little bit of time and exposure to a pack has made him a better behaved dog at parks and on walks etc. Recommend highly!
My dog and I love Homedog and all the homies! My dog is a rescue and has improved so much from her time at Homedog. We love daycare and the private trainings are tailored and flexible for our specific needs. The entire staff has been great with both of us. My dog and I have learned and grown so much. I am so grateful I found this place. I would highly recommend Homedog!
Great place to take your dog for daycare and(or) boarding. I have been using HD services for over 2 years and haven’t experienced any issues. My dog attends daycare a couple times a week and absolutely loves it. Have also used boarding and training services 💯. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great location, offers a variety of services 🐾🐾
