Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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!
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.
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, $23/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!
We have used Go Do Go Pet Care since 2022 and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to walk their dog. Jimmy and Andrea are the best when it comes to taking care of our dogs Sara & Hurley.
We have had a great experience with Go Dog Go Pet Care taking care of Malina. Malina loves meeting her dog walkers and we are very comfortable with the updates we get during the days. Malina started with Andrea and Jimmy as a new rescue pup and there has been no issues and we have a high level of confidence with their team taking care of Malina. I only wish we knew of their services with our prior dogs as that would of made things much easier over the years!
Andrea, Jimmy, everyone at Go Dog Go Pet Care are wonderful. We’ve been using them for over a year and they take such good care of our golden doodle, Piper. Piper looks forward to her weekly walks and her sleepovers when we’re out of town. I love the updates we get from them. I know she’s in good hands when she’s with them. Highly recommend them.
I have been using Go Dog Go pet care services for a few months now and they are just great! My dog Lola needs to walk every day and I sometimes don’t have time. Jimmy is super nice and patient with her! I really recommended them!!
We have entrusted Go Dog Go with our dog Meatball for over a year and he absolutely loves spending time with Andrea and Jimmy. We know that each time we leave Meatball in their care, we never have to worry because he is in great hands. Meatball is young with nonstop energy but Go Dog Go is knowledgeable and able to handle a wide variety of dogs. We love Go Dog Go because of their flexibility and genuine care for animals. We would recommend anyone to utilize their services!!
After surgery we needed someone to take Scout on a hearty walk each day. The GoDogGo team was great. He learned to wait at the window for them every morning. He loved the effort and his 15 month old self was happily exhausted upon return each day. They are a great and dependable and pet loving resource!
Go Dog Go team is exceptional - I can't recommend them enough. My puppy loves them - they are reliable, great with my pets, and very responsive. They have been a life saver for those days when we needed pet care in a pinch. Now we can go out or travel and know that our furry and feathered friends will be well taken care of!
I have known Andrea for over 30 years and her loving devotion to her own pets as well as to "visitors" is extraordinary. When I leave my Gully, I walk away knowing that when I return he will show how much he has been loved in the interum and be exhausted by all of the wonderful, stimulating activities he has enjoyed at "Club McFeeley". Thanks Andrea and Jimmy for all you do! Lin T, Concord
We have been using Go Dog Go Pet Care (Andrea & Jimmy) since we first adopted our dog, Gus. They have always been caring and attentive to our dog's needs and have always kept in touch with us through daily pictures when we are away which is very reassuring. The whole McFeeley Family takes delight in the pups they care for. Other than our immediate family, we wouldn't leave Gus with anyone else!
We signed up with Go Dog Go a few weeks after our long term dog walker resigned. I was nervous to try someone new but it has been great. Jimmy has been walking with Mackenzie in the woods and she loves it. They have a very well run business with the app that makes it all super easy! I know it’s hard to trust someone with your pet but they are great!
Jennifer is awesome! She helped so much with our fear based aggressive fur baby and gave us lots of insight on our dog’s body language and how to control certain situations. Jennifer is a professional who knows what she is doing and also a joy to be around. I’m sure you will be very happy with the training she offers. My fur baby has been doing great since working with her. I highly recommend working with Jennifer!
We absolutely love Peace of Mind. My husband and I moved to the area recently and had to part with our long time cat sitter, but we are so glad we found Jennifer and Linda. They have made going away and leaving our cat Holly so relaxing knowing that she is in such good hands. Linda sends an update with tons of pictures every time, and Holly looks so relaxed when we come home. We will always use them, and thank them sincerely!
I recently rescued my 6/7 year old husky, Ariel, off a euthanasia list in Texas. Prior to being in a shelter, Ariel was a stray. Ariel arrived and didn’t know her name or basic commands and resource guards and is leash reactive. I have another dog who is 11 lbs (Ariel is 75 lbs), so I knew I needed immediate professional help for everyone’s safety and happiness. My groomer highly recommended Jennifer Chubb/Peace of Mind Personalized Pet Care Solutions. Jennifer helped us with training techniques to teach Ariel her name and basic commands, and worked very hard with us on the resource guarding issue. Ariel is an older dog who clearly had to fight for food on the streets, so Jennifer’s calm, loving, and rewarding training style helped my pup thrive. When we first started training you couldnt take a step near Ariel if she had something she viewed as hers without her growling and lunging. Jennifer gave us training tools to build trust successfully. I also learned very valuable techniques to help with Ariel’s leash reactivity. This was a life saver since I lived in a condo when I rescued her and couldn’t avoid other dogs. I took my other dog to a different place for training and it wasn’t for us because it was negative reinforcement style. Jennifer’s positive reinforcement method works so well for my rescue (and my other dog loves to join in and thrives from positive reinforcement as well). I highly recommend Jennifer to everyone! She got my 6/7 year old husky to change her ways and successfully teach her new things so she can thrive in her new environment, so she can absolutely help your dog!
I reached out to Jennifer for help and support in training my anxious dog to wear a basket muzzle for vet visits. And I'm so glad I did. Jennifer is extremely supportive, listening to my concerns, and creatively troubleshooting each step of the training process. She's met my dog where he's at, using positive reinforcement methods and never forcing anything on him. It's clear Jennifer loves and cares for all of the animals she works with. And she's very skilled at what she does! My dog is still working towards being comfortable in a muzzle (which she's affectionately named his "Party Hat"), and Jennifer continues to be a source of support and guidance each step of the way.
Peace of Mind Pet Care took amazing care of our 2 cats while we were out of town recently. Our pet sitters, Jennifer and Karen, were professional, friendly, trustworthy and reliable. We met for an initial consultation to discuss our service needs and it didn’t take long for our curious kitties to get acquainted with their pet sitters. Jennifer and Karen kept us informed with email updates and photos after every visit. We loved these communications! We found it hugely reassuring to see our cats were in safe hands, well cared for and getting loads of love and attention while we were away. Everything was done with the welfare of our cats in mind and unexpected situations were taken care of with no trouble at all. We really appreciated that Peace of Mind also took care of tasks around the house in our absence too, opening and closing blinds and taking out the trash. Peace of Mind Pet Care lives up to its name in every sense. We were highly impressed with the pet sitting service they provided, the level of detail, care and attention surpassed our expectations. We truly are satisfied customers and plan to use the pet sitting service again.
I have 4 cats, 1 that needed meds and special food, 2 chinchillas, and 2 mice, all different care needs, and didn’t know who to ask to care for them for our vacation. Jennifer, at Peace of Mind Pet Care did such an amazing job, way way way better than just ask a neighbor, I feel like someone was really taking care of them she sent me photos, and updates everyday and when little unexpected situations can up she took care of them and I was thankful she was there. She keep things clean and spent time with them too, you can really tell she loves animals. Peace of Mind is a perfect name for this pet service because that’s how I felt during my vacation.
I found Peace of Mind Pet Care when I needed someone to come in for two visits per day with my little Labradoodle puppy. Jenn and Kristin came for the initial consultation. I loved that they immediately got down on the floor to better interact with my tiny (3 pound) puppy. They both obviously adored dogs and we felt like she was in good hands. It is now a few months later and I can honestly say I feel so lucky that I found Jenn and her company. She and her employees are very reliable and dependable. My puppy is ecstatic to see them. Jenn is a knowledgeable and talented dog trainer. She kept encouraging us to socialize our puppy (after appropriate immunizations). We have also had 2 training sessions with Jenn. The first was focused on nipping and within a few days the problem was essentially resolved! Connect with Jenn - you and your furbaby will be happy you did.
I met Jennifer through a FB marketplace transaction. I was buying a used crate for my new puppy. After she gave me some great advice about potty training, she mentioned that she is a trainer! So I had her come to the house to help with some training assistance. She was super helpful is training us! And the really interesting thing is that Boomer immediately understood that Jen was the pack leader. I then reached out for help with a harness for walking, as I was having lots of trouble with pulling. Jen's suggestion was spot on and we solved another training issue. I can't say enough good things about Jen's training skills. I'm so glad I know where to go when things come up.
Great experiencePeace of mind is a fantastic pet sitting company. Extremely reliable and always on time during our window of service. We have daily visits with Desiree for 2 of our dogs. Recently one of our dogs got very sick during the day, I noticed on our puppy cam that she was drooling excessively and shaking. Desiree arrived to our house soon after to find out Fiona had vomited and had diarrhea all over her pen. She immediately got on the phone with me to make a plan and offered to either stay with Fiona until I arrived home, or take her over to the emergency vet (almost 30 min away!) I made the decision to meet her at the emergency vet, she was so kind to sit with Fiona and give details to the vet while I rushed over. It is truly a Peace of mind to have a pet sitter that loves and cares for my fur babies like they are her own. I cannot recommend peace of mind enough. She also has won over my sometimes grumpy chihuahua in record time. We have had the greatest experience with Peace of Mind.
Jennifer and her team were a dream. Our cat was so so spoiled at our home and our dog LOVED his stay at camp! Cant recommend them enough. Super easy to book and we kept in touch with constant communication/pictures. We were so relaxed on vacation, and our pets were so happy with their sitters!!! We will definitely be using their services again and again.
I had my dog stay at the Ruff House Dog Day Care in Fort Wayne Indiana for four nights, it was $42 per night, they charged $30 me for a wash but they didn’t wash my dog and they even cut his hair without my permission. Never again.
Our very first time at Ruff House and it was even better than we expected! Friendly , compassionate and patient! So excited to continue having our sweet boy attend weekly daycare. Thank you all.
We’ve been bringing our dog to Ruff House for weekly daycare and occasional boarding for 5 years now. We’ve never had any issues whatsoever at Ruff House. The staff is always super friendly and helpful, our dog is always super excited to be dropped off here, and they also do in house nail trimming which has been extremely convenient for us. We usually drop our dog off around 7AM and pick him up around 5:30AM which is always extremely quick and easy; we’re usually just able to hand him off and go. I would highly recommend Ruff House for anyone looking for a good Daycare facility.
We recently started bringing our two Heelers here and they absolutely love it. The second we pull into the lot they know exactly where they are and go crazy with excitement. We’ve also had them boarded here a couple of times and they come back tired and happy! We do wish there were more opportunities for boarding in case something comes up and we have to board them but we understand they only board during certain periods of the year. Not a big issue for us! I would recommend trying Ruff House out if you’re in the area. As of this post, they are accepting new clients!
I can't say enough about the facility and the staff, these folks are fantastic! They are proactive and provide my two dogs (2 doodles) with a safe, fun environment and me peace of mind. Thank you for all that you do for our family and Baily & Molly!
We have been sending our dog Chief here for years for social interaction and boarding. He is a regular on a Wednesday and occasionally needs boarding. All experiences are great! He comes home happy , tired from playing and always wants to go back!! The staff is friendly in person and on the phone. Easy to work with and flexible. We loves the Ruff house. ❤️🐕
A great place to either board or put your dog in for day care. Staff is kind and definitely loves animals ❤ Picture is sign from road so you won't miss it
Super friendly staff and very reasonable rates. Our boy Rudy comes home exhausted every day from playing and he is always so excited on day care days to get in the car! Always love seeing the picture updates they post
Great staff. Wonderful training tips from the owner. Our Gunnar loves the owner… our Panda is always ready to get in to Ruff House. Sweet place.
Fantastic Dog day care / boarding facility. Owners and personnel are always friendly and my pooch seems to be very well cared for. Does small dog group trainings and the guy knows his stuff! Has really helped with my overly excitable lab. They are generally pretty busy because they are so good.... call ahead and you'll find they try to do their best to match your schedule.
I had a hard time finding someone to take care of my cat (Luna), before my vacation. I was calling and texting people and they never answered back. Also I was very concerned about leaving Luna alone. Until i found “Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. They were amazing! From the begging to the end, they were very professional, I was very satisfied with the services provided. They took very good care of Luna and that makes me feel comfortable knowing that someone was looking after her everyday. I recommend “ Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. You will have peace of mind knowing that, good people will be looking after your beloved pets.
We used A Better Way for the first time (twice!) in August and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable pet sitter. We recently took in a senior cat and needed someone to look after him during a couple trips we had planned. They took amazing care of him and we came home to a very happy and healthy cat both times. Michele (the owner) and Liz are super professional and loving pet sitters, who really go above and beyond to make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. They do the basics like feeding and scooping litter; but also gave him daily brushing, played with him, and gave him lots of affection. They leave a daily report saying what they did and how our cat Nick was doing every day, which are really nice to read when you get home, and always responded promptly when we texted asking how things are going. They also took amazing care of our potted outdoor plants and 4 newly planted trees, in addition to taking in our mail every day and putting the trash and recycling on the curb for trash pickup. I felt much more relaxed knowing our cat and house were in good hands while we were away. I can’t recommend them enough!
I cannot say enough about Wendi and the ladies. They are all super. I have been a client for over 15 years with all my dogs. Wendi even stayed with me when I had to put my little Murphy down. You don't see that kind of service from many places today. My pets are like their own pets.
Best pet sitting in the area! They have a meeting with you to walk through your home as a new client to determine all of your pet's needs. Billing is sent to your email (which I really appreciate it). They provide detailed notes for every day they visit with pre-maid sheets that, to me, are truly wonderful to come home to. :D Best of all is their service and compassionate care. We had a family emergency recently, and Better Way Pet Sitting jumped in and was able to look after our cats. It was truly valuable to have a service we trusted when we needed it. So grateful to have access to them now and into the future!
The most important aspect of a pet care company is reliability, which you will get 100% with ABW. I used them frequently when I had knee surgery and couldn't walk my puppy, and continued with their services for the convenience of being able to stay at work through lunch. They always come exactly when they said they will and I love how they leave me notes after each visit! My pups were well taken care of!
I have been using ABW pet sitting service for almost 10 years. Wendi and her staff of pet sitters are top notch! I trust them completely with my dog, Brady which gives me great peace of mind while I am away or out for the day. I love the notes they leave describing the fun they had and providing important information about my dog. I truly feel like they really care about and love the pets they visit. They have become like a family to us. They are ALWAYS dependable, reliable, helpful, accommodating and above all they treat our dog so well. Wendi is highly selective when hiring pet sitters so I never worry if I have someone new. They are simply THE BEST!!
ABW is outstanding! The staff accommodates all types pets with their unique personalities & needs. Wendi, Michele, & Leslie have taken care of our diabetic older cats who needed injections 2 times a day and our current "scaredy cats" who now come out to see their care takers in our absence. The piece of mind is priceless, knowing our four footed family members can be well taken care of in their own home. Thank you ABW for 14 great years of service & care!
I have been using ABW for almost 5 years for my dogs and they have been nothing short of fantastic. In the beginning of looking for someone to take my dogs out in the middle of the day while I was at work, I was not super comfortable with someone being in my house while I wasn’t home let alone with my dogs! As soon as I met with Michele I felt at ease and you can tell both she and the great pet walkers/sitters at ABW instantly fall in love with your dogs (almost) as much as you are! Now I feel a sense of comfort knowing that ABW will be at my house because my dogs love them, they’re incredibly reliable and responsive. I’d be lost without the . I tell anyone I meet that has a dog that they should reach out to ABW for their pet sitting/walking needs!
We switched to ABW from another walker and we couldn't be happier! Scheduling is easy, price is fair and the they provide excellent, professional service. We have a fairly consistent walker who absolutely loves our dog and it makes me feel good to know he is getting love when she comes. Even when we do get someone else, he is still in good hands and he's loved everyone who has come. The additional touches like brining packages in and rolling the trash cans back to their spot on trash day really make the whole package so worth it!
A Better Way Pet Sitting Services is the absolute best. Wendi and her team have been taking care of my dog, Bentley for over 10 years. Wendi and her team provide the epitome of customer service. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate changing schedules on very short notice. More importantly, they are the most nurturing, caring, and trustworthy professional dog walkers. I trust them wholeheartedly to take the very best care of Bentley. Each visit is dedicated Bentley time (& he soaks it all up). I can tell by the cute yet very informative “Bentley visit reports” that Bentley is well taken care of and had a great time on every visit. Bentley’s walkers know him so well, they can also tell if he is perhaps feeling under the weather. They keep me informed via the visit reports and/or by calling me. I have seen Bentley with his dog walkers. It is heartwarming to see the mutual love between them. Bentley gets so excited to see and spend time with them. It is comforting to know that Bentley is in great hands and care with A Better Way. Wendi and her team treat and love Bentley as part of their family. There is no better way than A Better Way for taking care of your pets/loved ones.
We have only been for training. Tony is so gifted. He's right where he needs to be on this mortal plane. Translating between dogs and their people is what he's supposed to be doing, I'm convinced. Thankfully, he IS doing it. He should wearing a robe and floating a foot off the floor in a halo of glow as he tells you what your dog is thinking. It's been really therapeutic for us.
I love Crazy Canines for day care and training! I've trusted them with my beloved dog for years and I know he's in good hands when he's there. The staff is patient and loving and Tony is a fantastic trainer. He keeps training simple and focuses on rewarding your dog for good behavior, not punishing your dog for bad behavior. I had an extremely difficult foster dog who wouldn't listen and didn't understand No and Tony gave me great advice on how to manage him, which I was able to do for several more weeks until he got adopted. Stop looking elsewhere, just bring your pup to Crazy Canines.
I have been bringing my puppy here for a couple weeks now and I am so glad I did. My puppy is high energy but also very social dog. Bringing him to daycare once a week let’s him burn energy and socialize. He is always beyond excited when he walks in the doors and comes home happy. I also find the prices to be fair and the staff to be super friendly. They are also never bothered by my 21 questions and how his day was (crazy dog mom). They also post pictures on FB daily! I highly recommend Crazy Canines.
Crazy Canine is a god sent!! From day one of training my golden retriever pup Cooper !! The owner Tony was amazing and very helpful. Fast forward to his one year birthday he goes here 2-3 times a week for half days and I have seen an unbelievable difference in Coopee!! He loves it here and comes home tired and just all around a happier dog! Special bonus is they make the cutest little gifts for ALL of the dogs. Christmas, Valentines and some times just because! All of the above is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you to ALL for taking care of and living Coop… ❤️❤️❤️ you guys are the absolute BEST
Would highly recommend dog training at crazy canines. Tony is a star and you can tell he genuinely cares about each and every animal he interacts with. Not only are the staff great, they are also up to date with modern dog psychology and the actual science behind it, in other words; they will not teach you to hurt or punish your dog, but to build communication and rapport to give your dog a happy, safe, and satisfied life.
Our dog was trained here and does day care here. The staff is spectacular and the way they manage all the four-legged personalities is second to none. Our dog definitely has a crush on Tony.
We have been taking our dog here for about 2 years now. We have had nothing but good experiences with all staff. They truly care about my dog’s wellbeing.
Can’t say enough good things about crazy canines. We have a rescue pup who wasn’t properly socialized. She’s a handful! We tried another local daycare because crazy canines was full at the time and I left her first day in tears. They told us our girl was a “bully” and would likely not ever get along with other dogs. Mind you she was 4 months old. Fast forward and we finally were able to get our girl in here and she’s doing well. They are SO patient with her, and always take the time to answer our questions about her behavior and progress. I feel totally confident leaving her there, knowing she’ll be able to play and learn how to behave.
we used Crazy Canines periodically for our dog for half-days. The staff was nice. However, the last time I went to pick him up, I was abruptly told, “yeah, today I think is his last day with us, he hates it here.” This was I believe by the owner, who never even cared to introduce himself or ask me my name. His observation was that my dog did not like it there because he barked a lot inside, but was great outside. I understand how this could be disruptive, but this was also the very first time I was hearing of this. There had never been any prior communication. I am fine with the decision regardless, but not at all the way it was handled. If you’re the owner, there’s a level of professionalism you need to have with your customers, especially in situations like this that probably occur fairly often at a dog daycare.
Crazy canines has been our savior! We have a German shepherd that has been going there a few times a week for 2 years now. The dog truly can't get in their door fast enough! They do daycare as well as training. Highly recommend!
Very happy to be sending Cyrus to Red Barn Doggie Daycare! The crew there is amazing, and really loves and cares for all the dogs. My guy can't wait to bust into the door as soon as we drive up. Clean, safe environment and I know my dog is having a great time whenever he goes. Definitely recommend. Thank you Red Barn!
I was at first nervous about bringing Taylor here as she is a rescue and still a bit skittish. CJ and Geoff made her feel right at home and she has become amazingly socialized with all the other dogs. All I need to do is say is “ready to go to the Red Barn”and she’s running in circles.
Red barn has been the best for Cruise. He just loves going. You say the word daycare and he is waiting by the door begging to leave. CJ and Geoff are the best. They care so much for the dogs. They love them as much as I do. I was so nervous about sending him but they put me at ease and Cruise is having a ball. This place is amazing. Highly recommend it.
Our 1.5 YO Golden Retreiver absolutely LOVES the Red Barn Doggie Daycare and gets so excited at drop off! CJ and Geoff do a great job handling the high energy dogs and makes sure the pups are always safe and getting along. You can tell they really enjoy what they do and love all the pups that attend! I love the Facebook lives and daily posts. It puts my mind at ease when I see my pup happily playing with the other dogs. It's so cute to watch!! We love the Red Barn, so glad they came to town!
CJ & Geoff are the best! Miles is always so excited when he gets there and CJ & Geoff treats them like their own. Their grooming service is wonderful and Miles always comes out looking dapper!
Red Barn is by far the cleanest, safest, and happiest day care we've found. Our pup loves going there so much he doesn't pause to say goodbye. When I pick him up, he's still having a great time but is so exhausted from play that he's asleep in the back seat before I leave their parking lot.
Our boy gets so excited every time he knows it's time to come to Red Barn. The team there is wonderful and the energy is exactly what we look for in a doggie daycare. CJ and Jeff are genuinely wonderful people who take great care of every dog at Red Barn. Thank you guys for all you do to create a great pack environment for all the pups!
"I'm thrilled to share my wonderful experience with CJ and Maureen at Red Barn Grooming & Day Care! Maureen has been grooming my adorable puppy, Sunny, and the results are paw-some! Not only does Sunny look fabulous, but Maureen's gentle and caring approach puts me at ease. Her expertise and passion for grooming shine through in every aspect of her work. I love seeing the sparkling pup that Maureen sends back to me! If you're looking for top-notch grooming and a loving touch, look no further than Maureen at Red Barn! ❤️"
CJ took the time to answer all my questions and got to know us and our dog. He made choosing Red Barn easy. Our energetic Abigail came home from her first day tired and happy, and that led to a relaxing evening for the whole family. We're all looking forward to her next day at Red Barn.
It’s always a good day at RBDD!! Malina loves her Red Barn Doggie Daycare family! Thank you for providing her with a safe, fun environment.
I can't say enough nice things about Camp Countryside. I have a 5 year old Corgi, Sadie, who has been a "camper" since she was 1. I love that she comes home exhausted from a full day of play. The staff has changed a bit over the years but the management of the camp remains consistently attentive to safety, health and fun. Large and small dogs have their own separate areas and the dogs are assessed for personality to make sure all dogs have safe fun. Cait C. - the current manager - takes pet care very seriously, hires and manages a great staff, and is extremely accessible for any questions or concerns. I can't imagine not having CC as an option for Sadie.
Love Camp Countryside! I recently started bringing my two huskies here and they come home happy and exhausted. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable which gives me peace of mind when I leave them for the day. I would definitely recommend Camp Countryside!!!
I go here for both the vet and boarding and they’re always great. I’ve both had a dog put down and brought a puppy for their first visit and they’re extremely professional and always so loving.
This is a very professionally run dog day care facility with options for both half day and full day care. My dog loves to come here.
Our dogs are so happy on Daycare days. Great staff, very attentive.
The employees here are incredibly friendly, they take great care of and clearly love the dogs.
Hi Kenneth! Thank you so much for the stars. We are thrilled we get to have such wonderful clients like you!
Our puppy loves The Social Pup! Everyday that we put her harness on, she knows she’s going to doggy daycare, and it’s hard to contain her joy. The staff are very communicative, telling us how she behaved during the day (usually everything’s fine!), and always greeting us with warmth. It’s clear that they care about our little pooch. There was an incident when Summer was yelling randomly during the day, scaring herself and the other puppies. They checked the cameras to investigate and found that she just startled herself. They immediately reported this to me when I picked her up. Great communication! As you can see from the photo, Summer loves this place!! Originally, we wanted her to come while my husband was away on business and I couldn’t watch her during the day. She loved it so much that now she goes twice a week.
No, it's not on a 12 acre farm. It's actually Very urban, which makes it very convenient, and transparent. After you've completed all the basics for being accepted (specific shots, eval etc) it's ultra easy to drop off and pick up on pretty much any schedule. The owner is a vet tech/ groomer and I appreciate that she takes on what she can handle and doesn't over extend herself and her team. She supervises fully!! And I appreciate the peace of mind that she can handle a medical emergency. She's in control and that's what matters. My guys are there to thrown down with their friends, they don't care about the stuff that only impresses me. Im grateful for the social outlet for them and how exhausted they are for 2 days after 🤣
Great Salon! They took great care of my big dog and he's never looked or smelled better. Highly recommend to any dog owner.
I starting having my toy aussiedoodle groomed here this year after my regular groomer started booking 3+ months out. I’m so glad I found The Social Pup. The staff has been wonderful, my dog doesn’t mind going (she’s not the best at haircuts), and they are very accommodating with appointments. Convenient downtown Lowell location too. Highly recommend.
We had unexpected company from out of town. Dog was due for a groom but she wasn't smelly to any of us. Our guests do not own a dog and they thought she smelled. Long story short, it is Easter week and no one has openings. I went to The Social Pup with her this morning and they too were fully booked. They have a do it yourself option. They were AMAZING! For $20 I had full access to their place to do her myself. Their tub, towels, shampoos, dryer, brushes, you name it. I have never done this before and my dog is a 65lb. blonde golden retriever. They were so helpful in spite of being so busy themselves. The dogs they were grooming came out beautiful and they even made time to trim her nails for me for a small additional charge. Totally go there!
My wife and I have been bringing our mini Bernadoodle Chewy here and they have been fantastic. We honestly didn't know anything about his hair or that it needed a lot of brushing, but the workers here have been very good with him. It's always brushed out, and clearly they do it in a very nice manner because Chewy loves coming here compared to other places. Highly recommend
Great dog sitting place, I personally go there for my dogs grooming and nail cutting they always do a great job...friendly Associates, would recommend for. Any dog lover.
Been coming here for years and they are the best groomers I've ever been to! My dog has separation anxiety and they are amazing with him. He doesn't freak out when I bring him there and when I pick him up I can tell he's not stressed. Other groomers keep him there for 3-4 hours while the social pup takes half the time. He looks like a new dog after his groom and he goes home happy. Also, the staff are very kind and professional.
I wish I could give more stars! Kira has so much fur and a really heavy undercoat. She sees, and absolutely LOVES, McKayla, but everyone seems great. They are gentle, kind, patient, while also being very efficient! Best groomers I’ve brought a dog to :)
I take my cat zeke to be groomed he always comes back lookin and feeling great staff is friendly and very caring top notch service
Takes care of my sweet georgia pie everyday she earned a spot on the cover photo:)
Hi fur-children parents! Ive very sick, my Dr's on test result called me aft.hrs. to say I needed to go inpatient urgently for treatment. "No, I can't I've my Serv.Animal" and I wouldnt be able to take him out of hospital room for walks" Dr: You don't understand you need to go in! Knowing the extreme affects of my condition-I still refused but promised, Promised my doctors I'd go in 1ce a caretaker found. I remembered this buisiness but not name or other. I called too many and e-mailed the "Internet Ads" for local caregivers- None out of dozens could do a several day straight plan., and some said yes and then bailed out the day before we agreed for them to come. I searched memory and remembered F & T when I met them, gave me there card..it was on a fridge under magnet (the magnet is my dogs likeness) I reached out in agony/distress as it was now 6 days beyond medical needs... Fast forward, a couple of texts, a phone call from F & T and she came and helped me, gave Love & Care to my bff, my helper, my Buddy..and I then only then went overnight for urgent procedures... Some said they would have "kenneled or pet-hoteled" there dog, I said "No-way, I'll never leave anyone behind!" My dog is my lifeline, Regina said "You need to take care of you, so you can take care of him!" She then said, I got this, whilsdt' securing "Precious cargo", I turned from her and "Lil Buddy" quickly as I didnt want them to see me cry. Real men don't cry, "and pigs don't fly!" That night in hospital, I got a selfie of Buddy wrapped in his fav.blanket, with F & T staff smiling face to face with him. That message/photo were "medicinal". The great discomfort I had during treatment suddenly hurt less, and I could get the rest needed. I can't speak to other reviews or experience however I Can speak to the outmost Passion, Compassion, and Sincerity love from F & T. Bumpy road ahead yes, I know who to call when I need the help. Most sincerely, me and my besty, D.
After reading soooo many positive reviews, I was really excited thinking we found someone to care for our dog while we are away at times. My problem has been they won't call/text/email me back! Perhaps they dont have enough staff to handle their popularity? Of the 4 times I have reached out, I only received a response once. At that point, it was too last minute to proceed with care. I understood that, and tried again recently for another trip. No response to text or voicemail. Disappointed
They really love your pets almost as much as you do!
Bark Avenue is professional, responsible and they have a heart for your pet. Elaine and Cheryl have been looking after our Lily dog for the past five years and now they are a part of our family! Bark Avenue is simply the BEST!
Amazing, wonderful, caring and compassionate pet sitters. Our dog and two cats are precious members of our family and I can always trust Bark Ave. to give them the highest quality care. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Bark Avenue for all of your pet needs, Cheryl and her Team are extremely professional, reliable, trustworthy, our current walker Rick takes great care and my pups (and cats), they love him!!
Very reliable daily walking service with friendly staff. They took care to understand the nuances of our home and the needs of our greyhounds. My dogs are happy!
Amazing pet sitters! trustworthy, professional, and flexible.
