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.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $19/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I can’t say enough good things about Luck Dog Daycare! My puppy has only gone for her half-day trial and her first full day, but it’s already clear how much she loves it. She gets so excited the moment we pull into the parking lot, which says a lot! The staff has been wonderful and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with them. I really appreciate how they group dogs by similar temperaments and carefully vet each dog coming into the facility. Knowing my pup is surrounded by compatible playmates gives me peace of mind. The cameras are such a great feature! It’s so fun to check in and see what my girl is up to during the day. It’s obvious she’s having a blast and getting lots of love and attention. She comes home so tired and content, which has made such a difference in her behavior. She’s calmer, happier, and so much better behaved after a day at Luck Dog. For a dog who’s very social, Luck Dog is the perfect alternative to dog parks, which I’ve found to be messy and full of unpredictable situations. This daycare provides a clean, safe, and structured environment where my pup can thrive. I’m so grateful for this amazing resource for my girl and can’t wait to continue bringing her here!
My pup and I are thankful to the Team at Lucky Dog. Hobart is happy to go and I know he is in good hands when I drop him before work. He plays with the other dogs and they feed him the meal that I plan for him. At the end of the day he takes the Limo home and I trust the staff to put him into his crate with supper until I get home. He is so happy there that we are going to start classes and look forward to him going on the nature outings.
LuckyDog is a gift to all dog owners. Since bringing our Golden Retriever puppy, Shaina, here, we have had nothing but positive experiences. All the staff we meet are enthusiastic and really care about and for the dogs. Shaina loves it there. She has made friends and had an outside playdate with another golden. She has become well socialized, loves going and comes home happy, clean & satisfied. Thank you Dee Dee and the entire staff!💚
The staff at Lucky Dog are amazing! They are extremely caring and attentive, treating each dog as an individual, getting to know all their "personalities" and needs. There is such a wonderful atmosphere at Lucky Dog--so positive and enthusiastic. And they offer a full range of services--everything you could possibly want for your dog. I've gone to other doggy day cares, which were fine, but this is truly, off the charts exceptional! The staff were so skillful at guiding my big, 90 pound German shepherd, Felix, who went to Lucky Dog for many years. He always behaved well with them and with the other dogs. And the staff have been so gentle with my small dog Heidi, a traumatized rescue dog. They helped her feel strong and confident--now she holds her own with all the big dogs, feeling safe and sassy! Heidi LOVES going to Lucky Dog--she cries all the way in the car, in anticipation, and runs right in, thrilled to be there! Dogs don't lie! If only they could write their own reviews, it would be clear how magnificent this place is!
Have been taking our pup to Lucky Dog for almost a year now. We have had a great experience with owner, staff and all the options that we have taken advantage of…in addition to daytime care he has attended enrichment training , adventure camp, and even had a bath. One of Finn’s favorite activities is hanging out in the pool! Haha! Finn is happy to get dropped off and always come home ready to take a nap. Highly recommend!
We started using Lucky Dog after we got a golden retriever mix last year. We talked to 3 different similar doggy daycare locations and Lucky Dog was hands down the most inviting and friendly group of people. We have taken Max a few times now and we are over the top happy with them, so is Max! Update: Max was so excited to go to Luckydog today that he almost removed Kendra’s arm running for the entrance. We left him for overnights twice and it was reported that he took to it like he’s been coming all along! This is so important to us as we want to be able to go out of town and know that he is safe and happy. Most recent photo is him having fun at Luckydog!
Luckydog is awesome! The staff are caring and flexible, and many enrichment activities are offered to meet the wide range of energy levels of different breeds. Knowing that my pups are getting the best of care allows me to relax when out of town. Frankly, I think the pups like Luckydog better than home. ❤️ The pups also appreciate being able to keep up on their favorite Animal Planet shows when staying overnight. 😂
Can’t say enough good things about Luckydog. Our pup has attended day care twice a week for nearly four years and it’s the only place we feel comfortable boarding him when we can’t take him with us. The building is clean, they are very careful to make certain pups are up-to-date on vaccinations, and the staff are all wonderful. Bosco loves everything about Lucky Dog including the Enrichment program and Adventure Club. We love being able to have him groomed while he’s there. Lucky Dog is the best!
Highly recommended Lucky Dog!!! Can’t say enough great things about the staff, the facilities and things they offer. The staff makes Piper feel like the most important pup in the world every time we show up. As a pet parent its so great to be able to leave your little peanut in the care of people you know truly look out for her. Cheers to DeeDee and her entire staff!!!
I love Luckydog. When I moved to this area, I was immediately drawn to them for being an all in one provider for dogs. My dog Theo had a couple puppy classes from Stacey, who is a gem. A one hour one on one and my dog was already improving. Theo also regularly gets groomed by McKenzie. I’ve always been super happy with her cuts, and we’ve had different variations, all wonderful. She’s a grooming artist! I’ve never tried day care as I work remotely but I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go to them. I believe they also do boarding.
Kristin is so great! She’s been taking our golden retriever on weekly adventures for about 6 months now. Kristin is very communicative and flexible and always sends us pictures of our pup having fun on her hike. The walks span a large portion of the work day and our dog always comes back happy and tired! I’d highly recommend Tails on Trails if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and friendly to take your dog out rain or shine!
My dog is ecstatic when she sees Kristin, she comes back happy and tired! We love her. I love when she catches a great pic of my girl too :)
I was skeptical at first as I typically am with my loved animal and after our initial meeting went well I decided to give it a go and was very very pleased with their services. I've used Rover before but I'm so happy to have tried something new and different It really fit perfectly with my dog as he's very athletic and likes non-leash time. So this was a good fit for us and I highly recommend tails on trails it'll be a great experience more like a vacation for your dog to go explore at the same time as maybe you are in different places.
It's hard to say enough good things about Tails on Trails, Kristin and the other doggos that hike alongside our own. It's affordable, reliable and we trust them with our pup. As busy young professionals, we love having a day during the week where we know our dog is getting great exercise, socialization and being well taken care of so, saving us hours during that day to do what busy lives entail. Thank you Kristin and Tails on Trails! Our sole complaint is that we think our dog now likes Kristin more than us!
I can't say enough good things about Tails on Trails and Kristin! My very active pup absolutely loves going on her off leash adventures with her doggy friends. She is over the moon to see Kristin every time she picks her up and Kristin is so kind and flexible with my needs. Her overnight option is amazing as I can rest knowing that my dog is cared for and happy when she stays over with Kristin (and isn't in a kennel!) My dog and I recommend her services if you are looking for a full adventure to leave your pup happy and tired at the end of the day!
Kristin is the best dog person I have ever met. I am so grateful for her 100% care and devotion to my Lila. Kristin goes beyond the call of duty into a realm of deep kindness and loving attention to dogs in her care. I regularly have board Lila with her, plus the wonderful daily hikes in nature. I love that Kristin sends me videos of Lila that make me happy. I completely trust Kristin with my gorgeous, precious dog. I give Kristen the highest recommendation possible. Plus, she is a super wonderful funny compassionate honest human being. She's almost as good as a dog! That's my highest compliment to anyone!!
We love Kristin! Although my dog was scared and not excited about going with someone new in the beginning, now our dog jumps with joy when Kristin picks her up. Kristin took the time to get to know our dog and to do whatever she could to get our dog to feel comfortable. When our dog leaves the house with Kristin I know she will come back having had a blast somewhere outside off leash with a bunch of her dog friends. We highly recommend Kristin, she's truly amazing with the dogs and takes such good care of them.
We love sending our puppy out with Tails on Trails. He always comes back happy and exhausted and I get to feel like a good dog parent even though I don’t have the time to take him out on hikes all the time myself. Kristen clearly loves all the dogs so much and you really can’t beat the door to door service she offers. She even washes them off before she brings them back so they’re not tracking mud in the house after their adventure. So if you have a dog with more energy than you have time, definitely check out Tails on Trails!
Kristin is so wonderful! Our dog Magnolia goes to her once and week and boards with her when we go out of town. Our dog is a high energy Aussie and loves Kristin and the off leash hikes. Kristin comes to get Magnolia, they go on a group hike and Kristin drops her off afterwards tired and happy. My husband and I are so thankful to have Magnolia get such expert, kind care from Kristin. I highly recommend getting in touch with Kristin if you want a great way to exercise your dog with a human who knows a lot about what she’s doing. Kristin is also very responsive via text and phone which is helpful! We are boarding Magnolia with her this weekend and I know Magnolia is going to love it. Thank you so much Kristin for all you do!
My dog has the best time going on hikes with Kristin! He leaves excited and comes back tired and happy!! I highly recommend Tails on Trails because it's a great fun time for your dog and peace of mind for you that he will be well taken care of !
We’ve left our cats here twice! They do an amazing job and always send updates with photos of the cats. One time, our kitten was fresh out of an emergency surgery and they were able to last-minute plan a space for him where he couldn’t climb and rip stitches. I was SO impressed with them!
Kitty Cat Hotel was such an amazing find for us and our cat, Sammy! They were so accommodating even when we had to make a last minute booking. They sent us pictures of our cat during her stay and were so kind in all of our communications with them. When we arrived, our furry girl was relaxed and well taken care of. Would recommend! :)
The best boarding care you can get for your cat. I boarded my cat here for 2 weeks she was treated with loving care. The unit she stayed in was large very roomy. They let her out periodically to a play area. They sent me pictures of her so I see she was doing well. They are great at communicating. I could tell she was happy and had a great time. When she came home.
Trish is top notch in kitty sitting! My kitty was well taken care of and loved while he was a visitor. Trish texted me a photo and updates when I asked, too. It’s so nice to go away knowing that my kitty guy is in such great hands! I highly recommend Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel.
I'm a first time pet mom to a one year old kitten. He and I are extremely bonded and I was incredibly nervous to leave him for the entire month of winter break. Trish was so wonderful and sent me regular updates, and he was cared for beautifully. This is now my go - to shelter when I have to leave town.
The place was great. Appeared clean and well set up. My cat had never been boarded before so I was really nervous about leaving him. I received a few pictures throughout the week and updates which appreciated. When I picked him up the process was easy and he transitioned back home better than expected. All in all a positive experience.
We were nervous about boarding our senior cat for the first time. The people here were kind enough to send a couple of text updates about how our cat was doing while we were out. Price was very reasonable and the enclosures were much nicer than the metal cages with towels that some of the other boarding places were using. If we ever need to board our cat again this will be my first stop.
Kitty Cat Hotel was a blessing to have available when my pet sitter was unavailabile at the last minute before my 2 week vacation. Trish was kind and trustworthy and put my mind at ease knowing my Nolly was is in great hands. The hotel is very clean and even my ultra sensitive nose couldn't detect cat odors in the kitty cottage. Very cute little set up with perfect accommodations. The rate was reasonable and I know that my cat was in great care while I was away. 10/10 recommend!
Trish at the Kitty Cat Hotel takes such good care of our 2 kitty's. It is such a relief to leave them with her where they have a nice room of their own with a window, and ledges to jump to, their own potty box, and food dishes. It is a great relief to know your fur babies are safe with her. A fare price as well.
This place is AMAZING! We felt really comfortable leaving our cat with her. As soon as we walked in we instantly felt at ease. The hotel is very well maintained, has great facilities and Trish is awesome and very friendly. She even sent us updates and photos while we were on our trip. 10/10 Highly recommended!!!
Hands down the best dog daycare/sitter around. I've used Virginia and Pampered Pooch for over a decade now - and even now that I live in Portland still bring the pups down to stay with her for almost all of my work travel. The level of care and attention afforded to pups here is second to none and there is no one I'd trust more with my fur kids.
Virginia is totally in her element where dogs are concerned, and provides excellent care and attention to all the dogs she has the good fortune to be their adopted ‘mom’ to. She has known and hosted our Golden Retriever for going on 3 years now. She loves Annie and Annie loves her. Enough said!
Was looking for a somewhere to board my pup for the night and found Pampered Pooch. I was taken aback when I saw on her website that she doesn't allow "pitbulls", pit mixes or chihuahuas. I will not be taking my dog to this business because the discrimination is ridiculous. I highly doubt the business can even distinguish a "pitbull" from the may other breeds that are often mistaken for them. Pitbull isn't even a breed, so that goes to show how educated the owner is.
Ginny is wonderful -- she lover her own pup as much as she will love your pup. She is my "go to" person when my own dog can't stay at home or I need someone for him for over night! Yes, yes, yes!
I have no idea who you are. We've never been in contact.
Sakora, Josh, and the gang are absolutely wonderful! Our 2 Beagles are in the best of hands here! They love coming here! We are so grateful!!
I love this daycare so much, I was so nervous to leave my dogs for the weekend. I was able to bring my dog’s in for a 3-4 hour evaluation for them to be cleared for boarding. I have two high energy shepherds so I was really nervous they wouldn’t be cleared, however they told me they were amazing and reassured me that boarding will go smoothly. When I dropped them off, they were so welcoming to me and my dogs, they even let me shake off some nerves by asking a million questions to make sure what happens within the daycare throughout the day. While I was out of town I was able to call them and request for pictures to be sent to me of my pups for an update on how they’re doing. They were prompt and texted me a bunch of pictures of them and told me how great they were. I was so pleased, picking up and dropping them off was a breeze and I definitely plan on using this daycare whenever I need it next! I am attaching the pictures that they sent me as well. Thank you! :)
I can’t say enough good things to capture how much we love and appreciate Dog Paw Daycare. We have a VERY high energy, high anxiety 1.5 year old Siberian Husky who we got during quarantine and had turned out to be quite the handful. Despite this, Dog Paw has handled him with such grace, understanding and compassion. We moved to Eugene from Colorado and did not know anyone in the area so we relied on Dog Paw many times for out of town trips or emergency daycare needs. Although the staff was initially hesitant because our pup displayed some challenging behaviors (barrier frustration, anxious barking, etc), they quickly learned how to handle and support our dog and always welcomed him with a smiling face. Our heart was so happy to see how excited our pup was when he realized he was in the car heading to daycare! We are moving out of state but will greatly miss having Dog Paw as our go-to daycare spot. Sending a huge thank you to all the staff at dog paw for putting up with and caring for our pup Bristol. Bristol loves you guys! ❤️ Thank you!
I work a lot and take Appollo to daycare one day a week to be out of my house. He loves going and doesn’t like playing with the dogs but loves the people! Thank you guys for being so great to him, you help me socialize him and I am so thankful!
My boyfriend and I are first-time dog owners, so we've been hesitant of leaving our one-year old Australian Cattle dog, Bailey, at a daycare/overnight boarding facility. We found this Dog Paw Daycare and Boarding after doing a few hours of research (best reviews, local and availability). Turns out: they aced it all — and the reviews were not an exaggeration. The staff here are especially caring, and when we called, they gave an honest update on Bailey's medication, food and water intake and playfulness. We once questioned if our dog had separation anxiety — especially in new environments. We were once again proven wrong, and that's thanks to the staff for making Bailey so comfortable in her crate. See the picture attached of her sleeping so soundly before we picked her up during after hours. We called for updates, and the staff were professional and truthful. We requested a lot, and the staff gladly accommodated our wishes. We weren't members, but we are definitely considering it. If not, we are 100% returning. In fact, I also saw members having the ability of viewing their dog on a webcam, and that's amazing. A little free time for us, and socialization and fun for Bailey. It's a win-win scenario. If you're in the Eugene/Springfield area, enroll your pup into this daycare/overnight boarding facility.
This is a hard review to write....because I am going to make my own situation more complicated. This Doggy Daycare is beyond amazing!!! Our year old golden retriever LOVES going here. Everyone who works here seems to love Maggie just as much as I do. They go above and beyond to help us, take care of Maggie, and run an honest and ethical business! Maggie does 2 days of daycare per week and has done boarding a couple times....She is never excited to leave when we show up....she gets sad to leave behind all her friends. We have used another daycare in our area and it is not nearly as great as this one. The owners of Dog Paw should be very proud of the business they run! The reason my situation will become more complicated is because more people will learn how awesome they are and make it harder for us to get Maggie in. :) Way to go Dog Paw, YOU ARE STELLAR!!!
If I could give this business 10 stars, I would! The staff who did Rocky's evaluation were beyond amazing! They were friendly, professional and it's clear that they love dogs. The facility was so clean and super secure. I definitely feel like it's a safe place to leave my pup. They give each dog an evaluation before you can leave them for boarding. Word of mouth led me to book a stay and I'm so happy I found this wonderful company!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My dog LOVES Dog Paw Daycare.The staff is friendly, and they provide the option for a drive up drop off which is so convenient. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their dogs some extra socialization and a fun place for them to burn some energy.
Dog Paw Daycare is overflowing with loving and supportive people who go above and beyond for the dogs under their care. Our Dog Willy loves coming here, he always gets so excited to see everyone! Willy has separation anxiety so when we brought him here two years ago there was some worries that he might not enjoy his time, luckily this was not the case. I highly recommend Dog paw for all pups. Sadly we are moving and only hope we can find someplace just as special at our new home. Thank you to everyone who worked here that allowed Willy to feel so safe, comfortable, and happy.
We were beyond impressed with the experience we had at Dog Paw Daycare. I called them to see if they had any availability last minute over Thanksgiving weekend as we planned a trip down from Portland. They were very gracious to help out. Upon arrival we noticed how clean and well kept everything was. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to ensure our pup had a fun and safe stay. This would definitely be our go to spot for Daycare and boarding if we lived close by. Great job Dog Paw Daycare!
Lauren’s pet services have been a game changer! She really took the time to learn my dogs needs and tailored her services to give my dog the best possible care, she pays great attention to detail, is very communicative, reliable and trustworthy! I always know my pup has had a great day of exercise on days Lauren comes to play with her!! As someone who works full time it is a big relief to know my dog is in good hands.
I have been using Lauren as a pet sitter for almost a year and am so thankful for her! My pup has terrible separation anxiety and does absolutely amazing at her home. He comes home happy and relaxed every time! Lauren communicates throughout his stay and even sends me pictures to ease my mind while we’re away. This business is top of the line in quality and very reasonably priced!
Best dog sitter ever!
We love taking Ozy to Holiday Kennels. He is a rescue pup and has separation anxiety but he barely says goodbye to us now when we drop him off! The staff is friendly and we feel good about leaving him in their care.
The staff are amazing! They are kind and knowledgeable and take such great care of the animals. My standard poodle, who has some separation anxiety, loves it there!
I've taken my dog here for about 10 years. The staff is great and they always take great care of my pup! They are an absolute life saver for owners of bigger dogs which can be more difficult, or may not get along well with others. They even handle the administration of medications, or other special needs. I don't know what I'd do without them!
This is a wonderful place with people that genuinely care about animals. They are so sweet and communicative! Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone
We really love that our dog is happy to go here every time. The staff seem to like him being there too and this makes our hearts happy. We feel very confident knowing our fur baby is taken very good care of when we leave him here. We would highly recommend them!
I took my dog here for the first time before a 2.5 week vacation, which was the longest I've ever had to board him, and I was nervous about it for him. When I arrived, there happened to be another woman in the exact same boat, and she took the time to rave about her past experiences to me, detailing how great the staff was and how excited her dog was in the car to come back each time. It helped put me at ease, as my dog can be pretty anxious. It ended up being a great experience for us too, as they provided photos and updates on how he was doing. Being an anxious dog, I don't know if he will ever be jumping in the backseat in excitement to return to a boarding facility, but he seemed to do really well there and it was the best I could have hoped for.
I would highly recommend Holiday Kennels! They clearly care so much about the pets they look after. My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and really seems to do well here. The satff does amazing work and their prices can't be beat! Support this local business and trust your animals to Holiday Kennels!
My wife and I travel fairly often and are more than happy with the treatment both of our dogs receive at Holiday Kennels. By the time we are dropping them off the dogs are no longer paying attention to us and are excited to be somewhere they can socialize. They do an excellent job in grooming, they love animals, and the pricing is up front and fair. I have nothing but great things to say about this kennel and recommend to all of my friends when they ask for a place to board their animals.
I was very nervous to leave my dog at a kennel for the weekend, but it had to be done! We tried Holiday Kennels because of the excellent reviews here on Google. When I first went in I was a bit shocked because it didn't look fancy like the other kennels we had looked at online. It looked like the Humane Society - no frills, cement floors, cages. Anyway, I freaked out a little bit and the staff were incredibly understanding and patient with me. They said that they could put my dog in a special part of the kennel for nervous dogs (even though my dog wasn't nervous - it was me!). They said they understood if I wasn't comfortable leaving my dog. They were so kind that finally I calmed down and realized that these were the kind of people that I wanted to care for my dog. I also told myself to be more reasonable - dogs don't care about fancy decorations in their kennel - they care that it's dry, clean, safe and warm. Well, it is all those things. There was almost no smell. When we picked up our dog, she was happy and everything was fine. They told us about how she had done while she was there so I know they pay attention to the dogs. I wish that our dog had come home with a bit less pent-up energy but she is a high energy dog (border collie) and it's difficult to wear her out even in the best of times. I'll recommend Holiday Kennels to all my friends.
Our dogs are our kids so it is tough to ever leave them. The folks at Holiday Kennels love animals as much as we do so that's why when we have to leave our furry friends behind, we choose here! Our boys are always happy to see the friendly faces of the incredible staff. We rest easy knowing our dogs are very well taken care of. :)
We’ve been taking our dog to Tall Oaks for a couple months now and have been so happy with them! He comes home happy and exhausted, the staff is always so friendly and the most important thing: our dog loves Heather and Sam and loses his mind when he sees them each week. It’s nice to know we have somewhere for our high energy pup to go without stressing about whether or not it’s a good experience for him. Thanks Tall Oaks Crew!
I’ve been sending my senior pup (14 years old) to Tall Oaks for over two years now! She absolutely loves it there, and always receives the best care! The employees are extremely dog savvy and conscious of interactions, so I never need to worry about my dog having a bad time or over-exerting herself. As soon as she realizes where we are going, she starts barking in excitement in car! I cannot recommend Tall Oaks enough!!!
I don’t recommend this location due to a negative interaction with the owner. It did not work out to send both my dogs for ongoing visits to Tall Oaks due to the expense. They are totally reasonable in price, but it wouldn’t work out for me with multiple dogs. Completely my mistake. I decided to hold back on bringing my dogs in, and the owner offered to refund my credits paid for the day. Instead, she ignored me when I asked nicely many times about when she would provide the refund (emails, phone call, texts). I offered multiple ways to provide the refund (Venmo, check, PayPal, etc.). She ultimately just ignored me, or made odd comments in response. I would have brought my dogs in for the day if I’d known she was going to just rip me off for 60$. Very rude considering she offered to give the refund, and the service was never utilized.
It has been a year since my last review, but I wanted to update, since I now send TWO dogs to Tall Oaks. Daycare days are the BEST days, if you ask my pups. It may seem, at times, that there are a lot of dogs (a concern mentioned by someone else), but Sam (incredibly compassionate, skilled dog handler) and Heather (impressively knowledgeable and caring owner) are pros and know exactly how to handle the dogs so that they remain safe and are thriving in their environment. I deeply appreciate the level of care they provide to my treasured family members.
My puppy has an amazing time every time she stays with Tall Oaks. I know that she is well cared for and is having a great time running around with other dogs. She comes home tired!
So grateful to be able to go on vacation guilt free, after moving to the Eugene area and discovering Tall Oaks! My girl comes home so happy and worn out every time I have her stay at Tall oaks, and loves all of her friends there so much! The staff is super kind. And it is lovely to get photos while on vacation of my puppy looking just has happy has I feel when I am away having fun. Which never leaves me to worry about my sweet heart! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who needs a little extra help.
Not a good first impression. AVOID THIS PLACE Everything looked good online and I talking on the phone and via email to Heather, the owner. Made an appointment to come see the place. Did my due diligence of sending all required documents and vaccine records and required antigen tests so I thought this is the place! The website looks good but you need to do an in person visit. She (Owner) very responsive online. Came out today and left with the most uneasy and unwelcoming impression by the person I met today. Started off with: Are you dropping off or what" "I didn’t know you were coming". "It would have been nice if she, Heather, would have told told me”. It didn’t get any better after that. The worker seemed disgruntled and it came off as super passive aggressive. Too many dogs for one person to handle. There are a lot of dogs for a small space. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The area is too small for the amount of dogs she boards at one time. This place has a bad vibe. Bottom Line: unwelcoming, overcrowded, not enough help, flaky owner. I would not leave my dogs at this place! The kicker: I wrote a final email to the owner letting her know of my experience. Her reply was: "call me"! Yeah-if I were an owner of a business my reply to this would not be "call me" it would be me reaching out to the potential client. That's pretty much what I need to know! FLAKY and unreliable!
Frances has been attending daycare twice a week for almost 2 months and life would be much sadder without this amazing option. She loves it so much and comes home happily exhausted. So good for both pup and her human! Heather is always responsive to any questions or concerns. You can tell she wants the best for the dogs in her care. And the shuttle service is such a blessing! Thank you, Heather and staff!
I have never written or responded to a review, but the recent negative review is so contradictory to my experiences with Tall Oaks I had to chime in. I actually wonder about the truth and motives behind the post. I have used Tall Oaks for 6 years for both daycare and boarding and have always, always experienced the highest level of care for my beloved dog. The best testament to the level of care and attention would be how excited my best friend is when he realizes the is going to Tall Oaks. I sometimes wonder who he loves more, me or Tall Oaks, Heather and the staff. This place is special.
We started taking our young cattle dog to Tall Oaks because she was getting bored and being destructive when left home alone, the folks at Tall Oaks have made a huge difference in our dogs life, I found making reservations super easy and very reasonably priced, and after the first visit they even run a shuttle during the week! We added some training sessions with Cory and she is now an amazingly well behaved dog! When I tell Pepper she's going to school today she runs out to her kennel to await Cory's arrival it's very obvious she loves him! We highly recommend giving them a try your dog will thank you!
Dogcentrik is amazing! Desmond truly has a gift with dogs. We have been using his service for a few months with our puppy Pharaoh. He sends us text message updates throughout the day. Pharaoh is exhausted from all the fun he has there! We highly recommend Desmond and Dogcentrik.
Our pup Luna has the best time at Dogcentrik! Desmond is wonderful to work with, flexible and understanding. Luna loves playing with the other pups, and we have always felt that she and the other dogs are well taken care of and enjoy their time at “doggy school.” Dogcentrik is a great neighborhood gem- highly recommend!
Highly recommend Dogcentrik! Desmond was willing to take on Trixie as a 2 month old puppy and has done such a good job with her. She is always so excited to play with her doggy daycare buddies and is tired out when I pick her up which is nice after a long day of work. Desmond keeps me updated with pics and videos throughout the day, has amazing availability, is super flexible with scheduling and willing to work with you last minute, and is very reliable as well. Take your dog to daycare at Dogcentrik; you won’t regret it!
Desmond has done an amazing job with my dogs. He has watched them several times during my transition while moving, both day and night. I will definitely use him in the future. My dogs loved him! He is very knowledgeable about canine behavior. He is clearly a dog lover, and is patient, kind, and adaptable with his time. Getting regular updates from him via text, pictures, or video has been a stress reliever. They were frequently playing with other dogs. I am glad I can count on Desmond to provide quality care to my pets. He fed them on schedule and provided medication when needed. I am grateful for his services.
We've used Desmond countless times for our two dogs and they've always been happy to get there and tired when they leave, both of which are great. Desmond is great with dogs, sends lots of pics, and is super responsive, even last minute in a pinch! Highly recommended!
Our dog, Wishy Monster, loved his stay with Desmond. He immediately took a liking to Desmond when he met him which is not always the case. When we brought him back for Day 2 he was super excited to be back. He was completely worn out both days - so it was obvious he had plenty of active time. Desmond kept us updated throughout the day and was careful to introduce the other dogs carefully. We are very pleased and will be using Dogcentrik again!
I was visiting Eugene for work for the weekend and had to take my 100 lbs Great Pyrenees dog with me because our boarding plan fell thru. I figured I’d keep him in the hotel while I was out for work but he started barking a lot and the hotel said we weren’t allowed to leave him alone in the room. Thankfully I found Desmond and his daycare willing to take him for the day. I really liked that it was mainly outdoors since our dog is a pretty big dog and loves running around outside. Our pup came back happy and tired with some new friends.Would highly recommend Desmond and his place!
My dog always comes home happy and a little tired from running and playing around all day. Desmond, the owner, is very communicative and flexible. He will let you know how your dog was and how they interacted with other dogs that day. I even receive picture updates! (Now posted to social media.) The dogs have a large shaded yard to roam around in, but on cold days or if a dog needs a break Desmond will put them in the garage.
Dogcentrik is absolutely the place to take your pup, especially if they love to play with FWENDS! Desmond is a great owner, and has definitely come through when needed. Reasonable, affordable, and overall excellent, Dogcentrik is the only place for my puppy.
If you are looking for a fun-filled day for your dog, Dogcentrik is the place for your pet. My dog is ALWAYS exhausted after spending a day playing with her friends at Desmond’s. Desmond is very flexible and understands people who have busy schedules. He (and his family) are very kind to the dogs.
