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!
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 .....
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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, $18/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!
This was Cappy and Yota's first time being boarded, they were well and happy when we picked them up 😊 I will definitely recommend. …
Great doggie care givers here, simply wonderful people! They have a HUGE outdoor, double fenced area & our Yoshi LOVES boarding there. Thank you to all of you, loving & kind Doggie people!
They take great care of your pups and are super well priced. The grooming is always top notch and I’ve watched how much they love each and every one of the pups. We have boarded ours twice so far and each time the pups are bathed and ready for pickup. Very responsive, even when this super nervous dad text’s just to check in on them. Highly recommended.
It was our first visit, and I was very pleased with the care and grooming they provided my little dog, Joey. They also have a great selection of treats, doggie clothes, and accessories. We'll be back soon!
Highly recommend my animals love them!
The are very caring and do a wonderful job.
My dog is very skiddish as she was a rescue and they are amazing with her. They are very thorough and she always looks amazing after. Prices are more than reasonable.
I have used Wagon Train many times, and have never had any issues. I would highly recommend them .
They are great places to keep your animals when you go on vacation or to see family I used them at least 3 time it’s to great all the time Thank you for taking care of my animals
Our dogs came home happy, fed, trimmed, and clean. Great job! Highly recommend The Wagging Train!
Haven't used another sitter in years! Dogwood Critter Care is the best. Eli and Bruce are phenomenal care takers. And judging by the photos they send, my fur babies love them too! Tons of different pet sitting services offered and they send updates WITH photos. Seriously the best pet sitting business in the high country. They have truly stepped up when so many boarding facilities and individuals have failed us. ♥️🐾
Dogwood critter care walked the dog on time, and I think the dog likes Eli more than me. He can be persnickety and headstrong, but they handled him with professionalism and care. Also very reasonable rates for the time they spend with your pet, worth it to keep a stubborn dog from making a mess while you're at work. They're flexible and well staffed too, and can work around your schedule.
Knowing that your pets are being cared for while traveling is incredibly comforting. Eli and Bruce went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with them and then bring calming energy to our gaggle of cats. Their love for animals is obvious with each interaction that they have. Bruce actually pet one of our semi feral cat; his fist time being pet by anyone other than my husband and I. If you are a pet owner you will not go wrong entrusting Dogwood Critter Care with your animals.
Fantastic company with very sweet owners. Their compassion for animals was evident in our meet and greet. Not everyone is comfortable working with exotic animals (I have a small parrot). Dogwood Critter Care made me feel completely at ease leaving my bird at home while traveling abroad. I received daily updates, including pictures and video of Apollo enjoying his visit! Have already recommended them to friends in the community, and am looking forward to using them again in the future!
I have used Dogwood Critter Care several times to care for my two cats while traveling. They are the absolute BEST pet sitters and they have made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving my sweet beans in their care. They always send detailed updates with photos for every visit and actually spend time loving on my kitties so they are happy to see us when we get home! I couldn't recommend this company and their services more.
My wife and I turn to no one else other than Eli and Bruce at Dogwood Critter Care (DCC) for worry-free pet-sitting. Whether watching our labs (3) for a single day or a week or more, DCC is 100% reliable and trustworthy. They follow instructions, and their daily, detailed updates (including pixs) are greatly appreciated. Our four-legged kids believe Eli and Bruce are part of their human family, and that's the way it should be with house- and pet sitters. We highly recommend Dogwood Critter Care!
We couldn’t say enough good things about Eli! She took such wonderful care of our two babies while we were out of town. She respected our home and went above and beyond for us. She even went as far as to salt our sidewalks and even helped us turn off water when our pipes froze up. She was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about animals. She was even prepared for my big husky and his silly behaviors. We highly recommend Eli for your pet sitting needs. Boarding my boys was always very stressful and really hard on my husky. I had such peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands at home, stress free! We Will definitely be using her services again in the future!
The Pet Care by Eli team is amazing! We have used their services since January throughout the week while we are at work for our Golden pup, Walter. He is now almost 11 months. They are all so caring and loving toward Walter. They have listened to our needs and work with us to make sure Walter is well taken care of, and have always been flexible if our schedule changes last minute. I never worry about Walter throughout the day because I know he is in good hands. I receive updates after every visit with their comments and feedback, notifications of all the activities (potty, treats, feedings, etc), and pictures! Anyone that has ever known us even a little, understands we are very picky about the care for our pets. It is very apparent this team loves animals and understands how to care for them. Highly recommend!!!
Eli was absolutely incredible! She is so great with animals and treated our Boxer like her own. Not only did she continuously communicate with us and keep us updated, she rearranged her schedule last minute to accommodate our schedule changes. Thank you so much for everything: the new game ideas, beautiful pictures, professionalism, tips and new friendship to our girl. She also works off an app which is super easy and user friendly that makes everything so easy for planning purposes, invoices, and forms.
We trusted Pet Care by Eli right away! We had piece of mind with our 3 girls in their care and are so grateful for the thoroughness, care, experience and professionalism provided. One of our girls had surgery 2 weeks prior but we trusted she would continue healing in their care. We are so grateful!
We were absolutely blown away by the entire experience boarding with Wilkes wags and wiggles!! We were in town due to hurricane and the owner Amanda was so kind and helpful to us! We’ve boarded many places previously but never experienced this level of hospitality and professionalism. It was so nice to see pictures of our dogs everyday having fun , and eased our minds while we were away. We would absolutely love to board here again in the future! There’s only an option for 5 stars but I would give 10 stars 🌟 wilkesboro is so lucky to have such an incredible caring team at Wilkes wags and wiggles! Thank you so much!!! Madison , michael, Malia, aura & astral
This is the first time leaving our fur baby overnight. We went out of the country and his stay was going to be long. (12 nights) I was so worried how he would do but Amanda and her staff took such wonderful care of our boy! Every single day they posted so many pictures and it eased my mind and made me smile to see how happy our O’Malley was during his stay! He has made so many new fur friends and I know he won’t mind going back in the future! I highly recommend Wilkes Wags and Wiggles for boarding or daycare needs! They love your fur babies just as much as you do!❤️
A blessing to find!! We recently have a new puppy in the house. Both my boyfriend and I work full time, so having a doggy daycare in Wilkes is perfect for our pup! He goes and gets all his energy out while we are working and have a tired pup when we pick him up! She is so sweet to him and he loves going to see Ms. Amanda!! ♥️ always clean and organized!
If I could give WWW more than five stars I would. WWW staff has been so good to my sweet boy. Before we even get parked Boomer is wanting to jump out of the car because he is so excited. WWW and their staff communicate with pictures throughout the day and I think that is one of my favorite things about them. I am able to see how much fun my boy is having. We love WWW!!!
Great 1st experience boarding our 3 dogs here! Extremely good care, shared photos several times a day to keep me posted on them!Staff played and petted them often, Facility was very clean with separate areas for play outdoors! Will definitely use again and highly recommend for anyone who is nervous about boarding!
I STRONGLY recommend them! My senior dog had a stroke earlier in the year, and even though she has fully recovered she needs 24-hour supervision and has a lot of medication to take. Amanda was awesome, she constantly posted pics of Katy in her app and kept a detailed log of what medications were given, by whom, and when. It was amazing to be able to keep up with Katy to that degree! And it relieved a LOT of stress while we were gone. She also makes a point to keep senior dogs separate from the younger and more active dogs, so Katy only spent time with other dogs that were on her level.
Excellent! Our two bulldogs stayed with Wilkes Wags and Wiggles. They accommodated our reactive female with no issues as they will keep them separate from other dogs at all times so I didn’t worry a bit. The facility is super clean, no dog smell at all. Also, the runs they stay overnight in are clean and roomy. The best part for me as the pet parent are the picture updates I received (via the app) very often throughout their stay. The app is super user friendly. I felt that Amanda cared very much for our pups and remembered even the little details about their personalities that we shared with her prior to our visit. We will DEFINITELY use Wilkes Wags and Wiggles again!
We recently acquired two puppies and finding this hidden gem has been so wonderful. Adley and Gunnar (any Orioles fans?) have been to daycare 3 times now and absolutely love it. They make the process very easy for us humans, and provide a safe, fun, loving environment for the pups to play. We always get tons of pictures, and they always come home exhausted. Everyone's happy!!
10/10 would recommend! They allowed us to drop our dogs for the day, accommodating for a non-usual day care day so we could take our young family on an adventure while we were in town at the local campground. Very friendly, Reasonably priced, seamless pickup and drop off, easy to make reservations through the app, sent multiple photos, and our dogs seemed to have a great time! Thank you for the hospitality!!
Toby had an awesome stay while we were away! Amanda realized that he would benefit from one on one companion care and upgraded him immediately without charge. We received photos daily throughout his visit to document his activities. I feel like they truly care about these little babies and take care of them like they are their own. I highly recommend them if you want a worry free stay. Toby will definitely be back when we need them!
Rick is delightful. He and his team took excellent care of our two miniature dachshund fur babies for a week while we stayed in West Jefferson, NC. Destiny did a great job grooming our little fur babies, as well. We are already planning to have our pups stay again at RDR when we visit again in a few months.
We recently visited some friends in Lansing and took our dog Flukie for a grooming at RDR and couldnt be happier with the results. The staff was friendly and wonderful to do deal with, they did a terrific with our 7 year old Border Collie. He had a wash, brush, and his hair trimmed, all for a fair price. Thank you so much for your hard work, we’ll be sure to stop by again next time we’re in the area.
Great staff and quality care, safe environment. Rick and his staff are great
It's the best place in Ashe County to board your pet and they have excellent grooming facilities. The prices are reasonable and the care is excellent. We've been bringing our pets for over thirteen years and have never been disappointed at the level of care.
Always prepared for my dogs. I have one dog who doesn't like most people but he is fine with Rick.
We took our 12 week old Great Pyrenees there as we went camping for a week. They treated her like a queen, and bathed and brushed her before we picked her up. Great job gang, keep it up
Rick, Dawn and Rusty are one in a million. We have a rescue Sheppard and has never been in a kennel since we have had the pleasure of owning her. These guys take awesome care of her when we have time to get away for a few days. We highly recommend RDR kennel to anyone. Thanks again guys!..
They are the best. Took my 2 dogs there for 4 years til we relocated. The kennel and the grooming is great! Would recommend definitely
First time using RDR & so glad to have found this gem! The owners took great care of our two pups while we were at the beach.
RDR is great! I wouldn't leave my pups anywhere else. They take very good care of my babies!!!
My pups have loved spending time with Jessica at Happy Paws. I recently moved back to the area, and needed to find a good doggy day care. My pups are rescues with a history some anxiety at times. Jessica has been wonderful about making them feel understood & comfortable. I can see how happy they are when they realize we are back at Happy Paws to play. It’s invaluable to have such a great place for my fur babies.
I travel a lot with my dogs so I always have to find a good place for them to stay while I do my own thing. Happy Paws is the perfect place to keep your loved pets if you want them enjoy your vacation as much as you do, if not more! They are very reasonably priced and they work hard to make your dogs enjoy their stay. I always hate boarding dogs at kennels that charge extra for more play time but Happy Paws seems to make sure that your dogs get plenty of exercise with other dogs. The owners are very friendly and they do a great job of accommodating to your dogs' needs. I picked up my puppies in the morning, and they were already wiped out from running around before I came over. That's the way it should be! They even told me the issues that may have occurred (my dogs are friendly but one of mine tend to try to show dominance once in a while and they told me about those times. It wasn't a major problem but it's nice to know the owners are honest about that) As long as your pups are friendly and good with playing, then you need to check out this place. The owners treat your pups as if they are one of their own, and you can't ask for better than that. If you are in the area and need want your fur kids to have an awesome vacation while you're away, definitely check this place out. One of the best boarding experiences I've ever had. Thank you!
I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica and Dustin and their loving care they give to the dogs. I had a special one, fearful of people , never boarded except at a womans house who could no longer handle his energy due to her age. Jessica worked very, very, very hard with my guy and now he even gives her a kiss!!! Her kennel/home is very clean with lots of room for the dogs to play. She goes the extra mile to protect all the dogs, and is sure they are compatible before allowing them out to run and play. I am eternally grateful that she took my guy on and now if I need to leave town I know he will be happy. It's just he and I and I want him to be well cared for. She takes care of the dogs as if they were her own. I believe her background in wildlife rehabilitation helps her really understand them. Your simply the best!!!!!
We used Happy Paws to board our dogs for almost a week when we got married and are so glad we did! We have two dogs and they were able to be boarded together with some home comforts such as toys that we bought! Our dogs were in such good hands, and we received daily updates! That was such a nice extra that helped this boarding facility stand out among the rest! Happy Paws will be our go to boarding from now on! Not mention both dogs came home smelling great from the bath at the end of the week! Our pug and corgi gave their stay 4 paws up!!
I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with. Dustin and Jessie are big animal lovers to not just their own dogs but other dogs well. My dogs had a great visit at Happy Paws and I will not hesitate to take them back next time I’m out of town. I highly recommend the Happy Paws Dog Den. They will love your babies just as you do!
Happy Paws is a great place to board dogs! Our two anxious dogs love it there. Jessica really understands dog behavior and how to make every dog feel welcome and comfortable. We have used many dog boarding facilities and Happy Paws is the best.
Highly recommend this dog care facility for that other member of family. We have kept our dog with them for many months. We have seen wonderful improvement in our dog socially as the owners carefully match dog personalities, and work with each one's situation. Jessie, the co-owner with her husband Dustin have recently gone to great lengths to expand their facility while raising the bar of care for all the dogs that stay with them. Between them they have many years of dog care service, in both a veterinarian and short/long term dog stay care facility. Give them a shot with your pet...you won't be sorry.
We really prefer to take our guys along but sometimesthat just can't be done. This past weekend we attended an out of state wedding and left our dogs with Jess and Dustin. I never worried about their care, got regular updates and came back to happy dogs! Happy paws dog den is perfect with spacious clean facility, kennels like mini bedrooms, big hilly yard (just what they are used to) and lots of features to keep our guys safe and happy. We will definitely use them again.
Our dogs loved staying with Jessica during an extended stay. Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog who has special needs. She helped our shy dog socialize with the other dogs too. We loved the updates and communication. Thank you Jessica!
We had a wonderful experience with Happy Paws. Our dog is a senior lady Bassett Hound with medical needs. Jessie and Dustin were very accommodating to her needs. We were able to take a worry free vacation as they updated us daily with texts and pictures. We highly recommend Happy Paws!!!!
The staff at Fetching Ridge consistently goes above and beyond for my sweet golden retriever pup, Louie, and I. One of the trainers, Emma, is so kind, gentle and caring that Louie practically leaps out his harness every time he sees her! The pictures and report cards are such a sweet touch and I know we are always in good hands for daycare and boarding.
I bring my dogs here to get their toenails trimmed regularly. The staff are very friendly and use an easy manner when dealing with my one dog who hates her nails done. They understand she is upset and talk to her and get things done without any issues. Great Job Ladies!
This place Is absolutely ridiculous. They waited til the day before boarding to tell us our vaccination proof was not sufficient that it needed to have a due date for the next one on the form. Keep in mind this came from a vets office and then they took our money and refused to refund it due to them waiting until the day before boarding to tell us this. Would not recommend to anyone. Stay far away And this is an update since they responded and tried to make it out fault. We did not cancel they waited until 4pm on a Friday to tell us the day before we were supposed to drop our puppy off. And then after we call trying to get verification on what we needed we receive a text telling us THEY are canceling our reservation after we called the vet after hours and got what they needed
Do not put your pets in these peoples hands! This business does its best to remove negative reviews to paint a better picture that what actually occurs. They will claim you’re not in their system to deflect any negativity rather than holding their team accountable. My German Shepherd has GI issues which she takes medicine for and I left her at this facility for a week while I was out of town. I provided the proper amount of food as instructed for the duration I’d be gone. When I returned, my pup was underweight and looked like she had not been cared for in the slightest. Along with her belongings were several unused bags of her food which goes to show they don’t follow any personalized instructions you give them should your pup need it. You’ve been warned.
My dog loves coming to Fetching Ridge! The staff really get to know your dog, their quirks and preferences, and all of their needs. I always feel good about leaving my pup in their hands when I go out of town, and the staff is so accommodating and willing to work with me when unexpected things arise.
They were super-sweet to our dog Ben on his first day of day care at this establishment, and everyone working there was kind, energetic, and enthusiastic. I'm sure we will be back often.
I've been taking my dog there for a year or so now and he loves it (and me too)! Everytime he realizes where we are going he gets super excited and never gets tired of it.The employees are so loving towards him and friendly to me as well! A great way to make sure that he gets the energy out that he needs and the socialization he loves even when our work schedules get hectic. They even have an app where they tag your pet in photos and it's great to see everytime.
We loved Fetching Ridge when they did grooming. We are dog-less right now, but will certainly use them should we need boarding! The staff was always attentive, caring, and professional.
The staff was easy to work with, communicated with us while we were gone, our puppies were all clean when we picked them up. Job well done Fetching Ridge!
I love this place! I’ve boarded my dog Milo here a couple times and they always take wonderful care of him and send me pictures! My dog enjoys the times he’s boarded here and always come back to me happy and healthy! I highly recommend this business for anyone wanting to board their pet at a trustworthy, high quality place!
This was the best pet sitting experience I have ever had. From our first communication to the last visit, absolutely amazing. Thank you for caring for my Penny girl and treating her like your own. She still looks around for Decker in the front yard! Great Dog Days will be my first call from now on for any pet care needs.
Our experience with Great Dog Days was simply AMAZING! 🤩 We were traveling from out of town and needed a dog sitter for the daytime. The communication in advance and during our visit was everything we needed to feel comfortable leaving our dog Winnie with Lesley. Winnie was definitely well taken care of and seemed to have really made friends with the other dog. The photos and communications throughout the day also helped us know Winnie was safe and in caring hands. I would absolutely give more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely hire Great Dog Days again during future trips!!
Lesley was wonderful very caring such a sweet lady, She sent pictures and kept me updated , Chino had a wonderful time with her and decker. We will be bringing Chino to her every time we're away! 💗 …
Lesley has been coming to my place to walk my two little dogs (8 & 13 lbs) for a few months. We just moved here from California and I didn't know how I'd manage. I am so happy I found her! They love her, she takes pics and sends them to me, and texts me a daily report. She is a natural and a genuine dog person. Always reliable and responsive, warm and professional. We are very lucky to have her! She even made me this little picture today and texted it to me while I was at work!
We are so grateful for Leslie and Great Dog Days. Our Lucy was taken care of wonderfully. She has severe separation anxiety so finding a place that would give her the environment she needs was so important and Leslie did just that. Lots of toys, companionship, snuggles, and walks. She sent us photos and videos of Lucy throughout the day so we wouldn't worry. Leslie was very thorough and professional - getting health info etc, but was also friendly and easy to work with. Thank you!
Thank you so much for being so kind to Jager and doing exactly what you said you would do, for coming when you said you would come let him out and for spending some time with him. Leslie was a Godsend to us. We interviewed her and she did a meet and greet with our dog first and we found her to be charming. Our dog loved her immediately. She was very accommodating. We had to be out of town 12 hours a day every day for over a week. We are retired so Jager really needed her loving visits. Each day she sent us a photo and a video of him every time she came by to let him out which was awesome and gave us much needed peace of mind that he was okay. We highly recommend Great Dog Days and Leslie to anyone who wants to rest in complete confidence that their dog is being very well cared for. We certainly plan to use her again.
Lesley was SO great to work with! She was attentive with any questions we had and gave us several reports at how our pup was doing while we were away! She was incredibly friendly and our dog always had someone to play with. He was exhausted for days when we brought him back home! I highly recommend her service and we'll be sure to work with her in the future when we're away!
Great service for my pup. Lesley is easy to reach and wonderfully organized with her business's schedule. I loved the picture updates I got on their walks. And my dog had such a great time with her. Lesley was totally open to changing around her schedule to help me out one day, too. 11/10 would recommend!
While I am a dog sitter myself I have never used Lesley’s services. I have referred many of my own clients to her for different reasons. I have always received glowing comments about how Lesley takes care of her clients and especially how she takes care of the pets she has been put in charge of. We got to know each other working the same area and she is always happy and appreciative in doing what she does. It’s so obvious that she loves animals, understands them and like myself loves the therapy that being a pet sitter provides. “I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LESLEY AND GREAT DOG DAYS!”
Lesley was very professional, amazing and always friendly! She has the highest level of care and passion for all animals and is very trustworthy from my experience. Lesley will go the extra mile to accommodate her customer’s needs and is very dependable. I highly recommend her (Great Dog days) for your pet needs.
If Bordetella shots are mandatory, you may want to confirm having those on file, or at least mentioning it to the customer, before having them drive all the way out for an appointment, especially since you do not offer those services. There was PLENTY of time to call and let us know that, hey, we don't have these records FYI.... Nobody told me updated records were needed on file; luckily, I had the records in my email. Rabies were up-to-date, but Bordetella wasn't even a month expired and I was turned away. We waited 3 months for this appointment!!! My dog desperately needed a grooming and the receptionist showed not an ounce of compassion. Completely unprofessional. Place is run down. I will not be recommending to any of my dog friends!!!
FIVE STARS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!Best place to groom/board your dogs in Ashe county by far. Very friendly staff that actually care, and exceptional customer service. Could not imagine talking our dogs anywhere else.
Love these folks! I always feel good about boarding my dogs here. They are super friendly and you can tell they really care about the pups!
I had a wonderful experience at bed bath and a bone. They are absolutely wonderful great prices and just do a great job. Anybody that can deal with my rambunctious German Shepherd definitely needs a pat on the back thanks guys I will be back best of luck to you Bill Weaver
Along with grooming and kenneling services, Bed Bath and a Bone offers very reasonably priced walk-in nail trims. My girls were treated with love and patience. We’ll be going back!
Very quick service and lots of patience with a squirmy dog to do nails.
My Dog Sullivan was groomed here for 1st time and they did a fantastic job! Sullivan never looked this handsome with prior grooming!
My floof has been going here for years, I took her in today and she was matted and they took excellent Care of her and made her look fabulous!! Thank you so much for caring so much about our pups!
These guys are AMAZING. Super personal, know use and our pups very well. Full service too! Nails, grooming, teeth, boarding, the works. Can't believe it's taken me this long to leave a review. They are great about working with you when it comes to scheduling too!
Wonderful people, sweet daycare dogs, and they always take care of my pomeranian like their own. LeeAnn always makes my old boy look brand new! Thank you for loving my dog as much I do.
They too great and loving care of our cat. It's very hard to find a place that truly provides the special care cats do. All God's Creatures Great & Small did not let us down. They stayed in touch with us every day with texts and pictures and I could see from the photos that Avery felt more and more comfortable there. I wouldn't hesitate to board her there again.
All God’s Creatures staff did a lovely job serving all 3 of my animals at once. When we booked for 1pm, we were told pickup could be as late as 5pm but they were done early and ready a little after 3pm! I informed staff we were fighting a flea battle and all three pets were given Capstar and flea shampoo and came home smelling like flowers! You can feel a massive difference in the health of their coats and the attention to detail that my furbabies received. Not to mention, they also did a great job trimming all of their nails without cutting into the quick/without going too far. The fleas were so bad on our dog that they informed me they washed him twice with no additional cost. A little added touch of love happened when staff called to tell me the animals were ready for pick up. She said, “your *babies* are clean and ready for pick up!” 10/10 loved the care and service my fur-children received! We will be back! Thank you very much to Tereasa and each staff member that helped rid them of these fleas!!! ❤️🙏🏼
We boarded our Boone last week. The check in and pick up process was so easy. They greeted Boone with smiles and loving on him he went right to them. When we went and picked him up he greeted us but went right back to the staff. Almost like he didn’t want to leave. Which made me feel good cause I know he was well taken care of. I highly recommend All God’s Creatures Great and Small.
They are amazing! They were the only place that could help us trim our guinea pigs nails! I should have thought of them first! The young lady that helped was so patient and sweet!! 10/10
Our dogs, Penny and Ziggy, have a wonderful time staying at All Gods Creatures!! We feel very blessed to have a place where the staff care for and love on our girls just like they are at home, while we are out of town. We have absolutely no worries about Penny and Ziggy while we are on vacation!! It’s a wonderful place and I would recommend them to anyone!! 😊😊
I don't how to express how great this place. We are so happy we found them to watch our ferrets. The prices are reasonable & staff super friendly. They text you pictures of fur babies. Highly recommended them. They truly a god sent.
I absolutely love these ladies! We adopted a dog, we set an appointment for him to be groomed. I was telling Debra how bad his nails are. She let us bring him immediately to clip his nails. His appointment was 2 weeks out! Absolutely recommend this business!
We take our little Shauzer there for grooming and daycare....they are so good with her.....
Cato and I both approve and are highly appreciative of the great attitude and care given to him here. They do a very fine job at a very reasonable price. They handle my 110 lb "Great White" with no problem.
They were amazing with our elderly lab Gator. I called as a new client and was able to get an appointment the very next day! They were very kind and we will definitely be switching all of our fur babies to All Gods Creatures!
Shivonne did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! Our first meet and greet was about an hour long, and she was very thorough gathering information about our dogs and how we need them to be cared for. When she stayed with them, she kept in contact regularly about how they were doing. She also sent regular pictures and videos. She did a wonderful job, and we will absolutely have her stay with our dogs again!
Shivonne did an extraordinary job in taking care of Chauncey. She came to where we were staying and took the best care of our Boykin Spaniel, which is our pride and joy. We know this because #1 she sends you updates throughout the day. She also sent me a "thank you" for keeping Chauncey after the first day, which included a picture she had taken. The best reason I know though that she was taken good care of was because on the second day, this mama's girl had no problems with us leaving her with Shivonne. My whole family was in disbelief because Chauncey does not like to be left behind. If you are going to the Boone area and need a dog sitter, Goodness Gracious Extraordinary Petsitting is hands down who to call! My only regret is she doesn't live close enough to me to use all the time! Thank you Shivonne!
Shivonne is a truly wonderful, caring and compassionate person with true integrity when it comes to caring for your pet and your home while you are away. I booked her to do overnight stays with my pets, mainly due to separation issues my senior dog can have, and it was the best decision I've made with pet care in a long time! I came home from a week long trip to very happy dogs, a wonderful welcome home note, and a very neat and tidy home. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Shivonne and her services. She's got a client for life with this family!
Shivonne is amazing! She truly loves and cares for the pets she tends. She is attentive to details regarding their care and makes sure she understands their personalities. She also cares for our home and makes sure that things are taken care of while we are gone. And there's always a sweet Welcome Home note waiting when we get back. She is a blessing!
Shivonne has been marvelously conscientious, dependable, responsive to requests, affectionate and loving with my three pets. She goes above and beyond in providing care for them and our home while we are away and is highly professional and organized; Shivonne takes her job seriously. My dogs love her, and even my antisocial cat is friendly when she visits - there's photographic proof! With the loving care she provides, she has become a member of the family. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
When our pet sitter retired to work full time for a veterinarian, we asked her to recommend a replacement sitter. She said the only person she would leave her pets with was Shivonne Quintero. We called Shivonne for an interview and were blown away by her professionalism, compassion, and positive attitude. One extended trips she sent text messages or photos periodically to reassure us that all was well with our 15 year old cat. She even won him over and allowed her to pet him; he is very aloof and never allows anyone to touch him so that was a major testament to the time and attention she must have showered on him in our absence. We moved last summer and just recently tried a new petsitter here. The exact opposite of Shivonne - no emergency care authorizations, no questions about health or special routines, no mention of a pet carrier or special toys, no updates in our absence, never checked to be sure we got home when scheduled to be sure someone would be taking care of our cat. I'm sure he was fed and the litter box was clean, but nothing beyond that. We really, really miss Goodness Gracious Extraordinary Petsitting and can only hope to keep looking for a petsitter that is half as good as Shivonne. We heartily recommend her services for any pet and especially for one that needs a little additional love and care.
Shivonne is wonderful! We are so fortunate to have found a caring & compassionate person to watch out boy, Max, when we are out of town. We know that he is well-taken care of in our absence.I LOVE her website to schedule and I love that she texts updates. Shivonne is trust-worthy, caring and dependable. Her love of animals shows.
Shivonne is one of those rare people you come across who truly care and love your pet while you are away and they are in her care. She is extremely professional and thorough with all your pets individual needs and any special care. I trust her my (3) Bernese Mountain Dogs and my (2) Maine Coon cats. She has spent the night at my house and has also come in during the day for puppy walks. She is a treasure! Thank you Shivonne
Shivonne Quintero really is an extraordinary caregiver for our very old Great Dane, Buddy, who needs a special diet, extra TLC and attention. She has a great ability to tune in the needs of those animals in her care. She truly loves her clients and puts their health and wellbeing as her #1 priority. My wife and I would unconditionally recommend Shivonne for your pets care. We love her! and so does Buddy!
After trying out a few different pet sitters in the area, I'm so grateful to have found GGE Petsitting! The business owner is responsible, accessible, warm and a fantastic care giver. I love being able to leave my cats at home in their familiar environment and I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing that they are in Shivonne's care while I'm away. The online reservation system is very well-organized which makes booking and communicating a breeze, and I can always get in touch to check in while I'm away. I trust her completely and highly recommend this service.
Woofpack is our go-to dog training service. Melissa has been very helpful in assisting us to help our energetic chocolate lab to become a sweet, well behaved dog. Our dog is going through the process of becoming a certified therapy dog. When we adopted a new dog, Melissa was very helpful with some new training challenges before we were able to get our puppy into training. We were also very pleased with boarding services. Our dogs were treated like royalty and had a fabulous time.
Melissa and her team are amazing in all that they do, I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’ve done several training classes with her, enrolled my pup in daycare, and been able to board him several times with peace of mind that he’s being treated as well as if he were home with me. He loves daycare days and always comes home tired and happy. Great customer service, caring and attentive staff, and a clean and safe facility. 10/10, this business is a true gem.
Wolfpack and Melissa have been extremely helpful with my fearful dog. He had his puppy training, day care, overnight care and most recently one on one help to deal with issues. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more caring knowledgeable place.
My dog, Missy, and cat, Sunny, both stayed at Woof Pack for a week while we were on vacation. Usually we take Missy with us and someone cares for Sunny while we're away, but we were unable to do that this time. We decided on Woof Pack after getting glowing references from several people. This place is like a luxury hotel for your pets! Individual rooms for your dog and individual multi level "condos" for your cat. There's tv for them as well as music. They have generous outdoor space as well. Missy is very scared of thunder and a storm occurred during her stay. Melissa (the owner) stayed up with her til 2am to calm and reassure her! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen elsewhere. This will be our go to from now on when we can't take our pets with us. I like knowing someone else will put that much effort into their well being.
Melissa Helms of Woof Pack Pet Services is like the dog whisperer of Boone, NC. Her place is the nicest dog boarding facility I've ever seen, and Melissa's passion for her dogs and her work shines through the moment you meet her. I highly recommend Woof Pack for dog boarding, and I recommend their dog training classes as well.
I love my dog and he goes pretty much everywhere with me, including work (he’s the greeter). Sometimes though, my wife and I take a trip and have to leave him behind for one reason or another. Woof Pack is the only boarding facility we’d leave him with and I have 100% confidence in their service and professionalism. This place has high demand (because they are so good) so planning and booking well ahead of time is advised.
Having moved to Boone 6 years ago, I was relived to find Woofpack and now consider it part of our family. My two dogs are excited to arrive and come home relaxed and happy after spending time with the kind, caring, professional staff. What a gift to our community and to my family!
Woof Pack offers a great variety of classes, from obedience to sport to overcoming fearfulness, and the class sizes are always small enough that everyone gets personal attention and can participate fully. Melissa's varied experience with training "typically-abled" dogs and "differently-abled" dogs (her personal pack includes several visually and/or aurally impaired dogs) means she can suggest training options for any dog of any background. We've completed three sets of classes with our pup and can't wait to do more; my parents have worked with Melissa in private sessions to address the reactivity and behavioral issues of their latest rescue, a German Shepherd dog, and the progress they've made with Melissa's assistance is remarkable. I highly recommend Woof Pack for anyone and any dog!
Very unprofessional. When we were finally able to get a hold of the owner, she said she was busy and would call us back that Sunday. It has been two weeks and messages left with no return phone calls. We needed help with our beloved dog and was looking forward to working with someone with her listed creditials but she only returned our call once just to say she would call back and never did. Not a way to run a business.
Woof Pack is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dogs. My dogs are my babies and even though I hate to leave them at all, I can, knowing they are completely well taken care of.
