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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $10/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!
Both Ralph and Debbie had compassion, empathy, great customer service and manners. Calls were answered promptly and our two big dogs enjoyed the place! No frills but certainly the care they received far outweighed the older buildings! Thank you guys! We'll be back!!!
They did a great job. I didn't want the hair left under her chin but it's all good and I believe they were gentle with our old girl. She seemed really calm when I picked her up.
I'm taking all my dogs there to be trimmed and manicured and everything they've always been Fair and helpful
Not sure, went there during business hours to look in to pet boarding but there was a pad lock on door ? Looked over fence and can see about 5 dogs barking in a out side cage ( about a 100+ degree) but there was a blue cover ?.
Since when does it take almost 6 hours to groom a small dog? I dread the thought that my dog was in a cage for most of that time. If they are backed up, they should have let me know, and I would have gladly scheduled another day. It was very obvious that they didn’t even let him out to relieve himself. I have never seen my dog so sad on the way home from a grooming. The new personnel working there need intensive training or need to find a different occupation.
Tried to get a boarding appointment. Both my husband and myself called and spoke to Ralph. He assured us both that either he or Deb would call us back "in 30 minutes" after he checked with her about their booking schedule. That was three days ago and we still haven't received a callback! He was informed that this was for a family emergency and still no call back. He could have at the very least texted one of us to say "No" there was no room or our 2 small dogs. We will never board our dogs there and would never recommend them to anyone we know with pets, looking for a boarding kennel. Just plain rude. No compassion, empathy, customer service or manners.
I love this place. I use them constantly for pet boarding and have used them twice for grooming. They really care about your pets and take care of them well. They respect your time and expect you to be on time. I will keep going back to them.
During a recent surgery and hospital time I had to board my dogs for two weeks and as dog parents know this is difficult to do for so long and you really have to rely on word of mouth and reviews to know what place to choose when leaving precious pets. I didn't have a single worry while I was recuperating be a use of the recommendation I got before and touring the facility prior to booking. When I picked them up they were happy and well cared for. The had zero trauma or anxiety pertaining to two week boarding. They were able to stay together in on run because the kennel runs are so spacious and allow for them to go outside. I will definitely use them again.
Paws and Claws is way out of my way (about 10-12 miles) but I continue to come here because they do an excellent wash and trim on my old girl mix "puppy". She always seems happy to go there and she looks really good when they are through. Great and pleasant staff and I feel comfortable leaving her with them. Never a problem. They are not the cheapest, but the best I've found and they take the time to do the job right. The physical structure is a bit cramped and cluttered but ok. Certainly recommend.
My pug moves to much and doesn't like her nails cut. Other places won't take her anymore because the can't manage her. The wonderful people at Paws & Claws managed her well and before I knew it she was done. I give them 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you.
My poor 3 year old cat needed a haircut, a bath, and some love to his coat. Melissa was absolutely amazing and she even just texting me to follow up on how he's doing post first groom! They also do affordable boarding! I cannot recommend this place enough! They are cats only, but they also have a separate location that does other pets as well and I fully intend to take my dog there! Theo is much happier with his shorter coat and he smells amazing as well! 10/10 recommend!!
We have never boarded our cat before, but Melissa came highly recommended so when we had our family vacation planned for Fall Break she opened just in time! I cannot recommend The Cat House enough! The suites are beautiful, themed, spacious, and so well placed that if your kitty is anxious like mine, he had a place to comfortably exist without having to see another cat unless he chose to. Melissa was great with communication and we could see after a few hours he was up at the highest spot of the cat tree people watching and checking out the other kitties. She even had CAT TV so he could watch it! It was beyond a wonderful experience and I was able to to spend my entire vacation not stressing if the sitter came in time to give him his meds or if they flaked out for the litter box change that day. Not only did we get a relaxing vacation, but he got one, too!
Melissa is the bomb-diggity. All around amazing human and cat specialists. You are one of the best cat groomers I know and I am lucky to even be in your presence. I've learned so much coming here. I hope to make it an annual thing as long as you welcome me <3 without a doubt you have improved my life so much, not only mine but to many cats, owners, and students lives as well. You make a great impact on this world and I simply can't thank you enough.
This place is phenomenal! Please bring your kitties here!! They will be taken care of with such care and kindness. Great grooming services and very knowledgeable people. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you guys so much for taking care of my sweet Cocoa.
I just had the pleasure of boarding my 2 girls at A Touch of Class Cat House in downtown Yuma, AZ for 5 days. In the past, when I have boarded my pets, they have come home stressed, won't eat and look like the wind had been blown out of their sails for several days. Not this time - my girls came home looking healthy, happy and no stress whatsoever. As a matter of fact, when I went to pick them up, (they usually scream to get out) they greeted me at the door, but jumped back up to their cat trees to show me that they had fun and were not in a rush to leave. When you board your cats at this facility, know that the Owner - Melissa, who takes care of your cats one on one, will be the person you see when you drop off and the person you will see when you pick up. She is a CFMG (Certified Feline Master Groomer) who is a highly trained professional cat groomer who knows cat behavior and the handling of all your cats' needs. She sits in the room with them and spends time playing with them and assures them that they are safe with her. She reports all behavior and send you photos, how they eat, how they interact, etc. While she is not on the premises 24/7, she does have cameras and records her guests activities and lives only a short distance away from her facility if she needs to act quickly for any reason. Furthermore, schedule your cat(s) for a grooming while they are there. You will want to know why you had not done this before now. How do I know that she is the real deal? I am a fellow CFMG. There is no one more qualified to trust and care for your feline companions boarding and grooming needs. I travel 2 1/2 hours each way from home to give them the best care possible. Thank you Melissa for taking such great care of Juma and Secret. I will see you in a couple of weeks for their next stay.
Melissa and her son were so amazing! I had messaged her before going to the shop to see if she could take in my baby boy for a nail trim and she was very friendly and told me to come on in! I went in nervous as heck because my cat never gets out. She was so super nice and informative, took my cat back there and I kid you not… not even 2 mins later she came out with my baby and he didn’t make a fuss!! Thank you Melissa for making ny cats first nail trim a breeze! I will be taking him again soon!
Long time customer. Love how beautiful my kitties look after. They are also not overly scared when there or when they get home. It actually helped my baby Steel be more social to have such a good experience.
Thank you Melissa for your patience and professionalism in working with our kitty . He has always been very difficult and we are so thankful on how well he was with you , and explaining to us every step of the way . Today Melissa worked her magic with our kitty and he is home and smells amazing . He is happy and playing like a kitty 🐈⬛. I highly recommend this business .
My cats always come out Fabulous. They smell so clean and bright & gleaming. They absolutely love Melissa!! She's the best cat groomer you can get on the west coast!!!
brought my cat here to get her groomed and Melissa did a great job! Welcomed her by name and sent pics when she was done. Highly recommend!
I used to use them for boarding, and was happy that my dogs were happy. They never pick up the phone anymore or return calls. It's been two years trying to contact them. I thought they even closed down. I don't live in Yuma anymore but my dogs and mom are still at our Yuma property. I've started to bring them out here to Paradise Valley for boarding, which I'm worried about my dogs having to travel 3 hours. I tried calling again this year for Thanksgiving and New Year's. I'm incredibly livid.
We stopped in today to give our dog a meet and greet. The guy that answered the door was swearing and very hyper as he had just been bit. Our girl normally loves daycare but when. My wife took her in and did the paperwork they had taken her.by the time we got her back she was very scared and had to console her most of the day. Not recommended by us.
We used Yuma Pet Hotel twice in February for daycare of our three dogs. The facility was clean, the staff was friendly, and the cost of $15/dog was very reasonable. It's tucked away in an industrial area but we were able to navigate to it without problems.
I will never take my pet here again. Does not look like any of the pictures online. I was told from the beginning by the young kid upfront that he was going to send me updates with pictures and to just text the number that’s posted upfront by the door. I did and it took them hours on end to respond and with pictures that looked like my dog was just in dirt!! I felt so uncomfortable that my dog was in there so I had to take him out early and leave my work event. I had given the two young guys upfront my feedback that I thought there would be updates (just like they said they were going to do) and instead of me even finishing my sentence I was interrupted and he said that’s not their job or responsibility lol all I wanted to get across was that in the beginning to set the expectation with the customer that you might not be on your phone to send updates. He was extremely rude, didn’t care what I had to say and couldn’t fully confirm whether he actually gave my dog his medication the night prior. All I wanted was to confirm that information and no response. I do NOT recommend this place at all. The smell when you walked in was horrid and doesn’t seem clean. Wouldn’t recommend taking your pet here.
This weekend I left my dog here and all I can say are positive things about this pet hotel. I was nervous at first because I had never boarded my dog before but he did great here. The staff was very friendly and even sent me pics and texted me when checking in on my dog. I will be using this pet hotel again for sure when I visit Yuma.
The place is clean they offer a bath they send pictures and it’s a neat spot with playgrounds in different fenced in areas for outside play for different size dogs. It seems to be a pretty good boarding facility when I was inquiring about it the week before I said several people come in that look like daily users for daytime, pet care, and I would definitely use this place again. The people are knowledgeable and really nice and listen to me yammer on about my animal with such patience (I was stressed as we were headed to LA for the week for a funeral).. and I can tell they really like the animals so that’s a good thing!! Also oriced WAY better than a couple others in town!! I think I would use this place again for sure.
Wednesday July 21st, 2023 I have 2Jack Russell’s that I was taking to the day care service at Yuma Pet Hotel after experiencing unusual behaviors ( having to pee as soon as I got out the door, peeing and pooping in the kennels on the way home, and foaming out the mouth from dehydration,,) from my dogs when leaving the day care facility, I called Yuma Pet Hotel when I got home, I shared my experience with the female that works in the morning’s , which I thought I always had a positive experience with her, I told her that when I picked up my dogs at 5:51pm that day,( I asked the boy who brought my dog’s out to me how was their day and behaviors, he wouldn’t answer me just walked off ignoring me and my concerns.) I asked her if he was deaf or couldn’t understand me, she replied that he couldn’t speak English, so I said that he must be illegal resident, she then called me a Racist, and shared some negative feelings towards me, I asked for the owners names and contact information she refused and told me that they would be contacting me? They never did as of 07/29/2023 Complete silence, I only gave them one star because I had to to write a review . I would not recommend this place for your pet’s daycare or overnight , they referred to our pets as animals and treated them like animals . I don’t like to be negative about any small business, but I am left with no choice since the owners never contacted me!!! Lesson learned! Foreigners don’t understand how Americans feel about their furry kid’s! I hope nobody else has this experience, I did take my dog to the Emergency Hospital!
Went on vacation for a week and needed a place to kennel my dog. This place was great and the prices were affordable. I will use them again.
Boarded my senior dog here and they called me the next day to tell me that she fell out of the bath. I do appreciate that she didn't come home stinky, but now that she is hurt..the bath just wasn't worth it at all.
I paid $100 for a 6x12 kennel. I could be a little off but it was there largest dog kennel I reserved for 2 nights. There take out times for all dogs are at 6am, 10am, 2:30pm, and 5:30pm coming from the male employee I asked. I called to check up on my dog on her stay, they claimed she did not pee in kennel except one time, and her bedding never got peed on. However my dog has no history of having accidents if properly taken out and when I received her bedding I can not even explain how strong the smell was on her blanket and on my dog. My dog was not properly treated and was neglected. When I asked about bedding they clearly did not check to make sure my dog was sleeping on a clean blanket and bluntly lied to my face about accidents or lied about checking for accidents. I would not recommend leaving your loved pets here.
I admit that I'm a bit of a helicopter animal guardian. The animals I share my home with mean everything to me, and it's incredibly important that they receive the love and respect they deserve. Our home has often been called a "home of misfits" because many of the animals I care for come with a little baggage. Due to this, I rarely take them anywhere other than the vet because, well... people. When my mother made an appointment for my sweet boy, Mouse, I was filled with anxiety. To say I was nervous is an understatement, I was worried for days leading up to the appointment and didn't relax until I picked him up. Mouse is a special boy. He has no eyes due to medical issues, and we adopted him that way. With his unknown history, I've always handled his grooming at home. As a full time worker and student, I thought I could manage the shedding that comes with having a husky, but it was becoming overwhelming. I tried so many tools and techniques to keep up with the fur, but it got to be too much. I don’t usually ask for help because I don’t want to be a burden, but my mother intervened, and I'm so glad she did. The team at Waggin West was incredibly understanding of my anxiety and sensitive to Mouse’s needs as a first-time grooming client. They did an amazing job, Mouse looks fantastic! His extra fur is gone, and I can tell he feels so much better because he's not panting as much indoors. I'm so relieved and grateful. Mouse will definitely be a regular at Waggin West from now on. Thank you for taking such great care of him!
Today was our first groom with Waggin West and I will never take him anywhere else. My 11 year old corgi looks and feels amazing. I asked them to trim his pantaloons a little and the quality of that trim is comparable to a high end Japanese style groom! I am blown away! 🍑. Everyone I interacted with seemed to love what they were doing and showered Rory with lots and lots of love. This is a fantastic local business that deserves your business.
I can’t tell you enough how fantastic it is here!! We needed to leave our little dogs for a few new hours while we dropped our daughter off at the school. I had just met them and they already made me feel like family and I knew my four legged babies would be safe and taken care of, that means more to me than anything!! And an instant friend with Bart when you walk in. I want to go back to Yuma just to visit them here!! That is something special they have
I just took my goldendoodle to Waggin West for grooming. She is stunning. They groomed her just as I had asked them to. We are new here and so pleased!
My 2 girls (Labs) came out of the doggie beauty shop looking like Beauty Queens! Fabulous job! I would highly recommend this place! They are very caring and sensitive to the individual needs of each baby! Update December 23 2020 I took my 3 year old Neapolitan Mastiff, Grizzly into Wagging West Kennels & Groomers today. It was his 1st time. He came out smelling like a 🌹 Rose! He looked so handsome! I couldn't believe it was the same Dog! Merry Christmas! I will definately be taking him again!
Great people. Best shop in town. They truly do care about all fur baby's
Sherri and the staff are exceptional! They went above and beyond for us and we couldn't be more thankful. We boarded our 2 dogs for the first time and was worried about them during their stay. But when we picked them up, we could tell they were well taken care of. Thank you Waggin West!
Awesome place good people clips my dog's nails very fast not expensive
We have boarded all 5 of our pups with Waggin West and we have been so happy with their care. The dogs always come home happy and healthy.
I initially had to board my baby Nala due to a family emergency. As this was my first time ever leaving her, I was nervous, but as soon as we walked in and I saw my usually hesitant girl relaxed and happy, I knew she was in good hands. The owners are amazing and have worked with me when I needed to unexpectedly extend. Not needing to worry about my baby during difficult times has been a true blessing.
I’ve been using this kennel for a year and a half now with outstanding results. My dogs always look great and healthy when I pick them up and the staff take every step to ensure diet, temp regulation in the heat, exercise time, and attention throughout the day is on point. Very easy to work with on drop off and pick times. Couldn’t be happier with their services and the personal touch.
I would give 20 stars if that Was an option. I can’t say enough about Colleen and Maroco Kennels. My German Shepherd Eckhoo Daisy. Loves it there. I have been bringing her there for about 4 years now and She loves it. Sometimes I feel like she likes it better there than at home 😁. I’ve dropped her off for as little as a weekend and as long as three months when I was ill. I would highly recommend Maroco Kennels If you’re looking for boarding for your Fur friends. You will be at ease knowing that they’re being well taken care of.
I would highly recommend Colleen at Maroco Kennels. I have been boarding my dog Shasta with her since moving to Yuma in 2013. I always know that Shasta will be well taken care of. The kennels are always clean. Colleen is very responsive to phone calls and text messages reassuring even the most worried pet parent.
Since the 80s, Maroco Kennel has been the answer to leaving my dogs under excellent care. Coleen is an expert trainer in obedience, hence my dogs come back to me with better manners frequently. They look forward to visiting their second “mom”. And I rest easy knowing where they are. I recommend Maroco without reservation!
We have trusted Coleen with our pups twice for 10 days at a time. She takes great care of them and we trust her completely. Kennels always clean and the pups are able be outside weather permitting. A great kennel and owner.
This was our first time ever boarding our beloved dog, and we were really nervous about it. Colleen made us feel very comfortable and helped us with every step of the process, even advising us how and where to get updated immunizations (since we are new to Yuma). Colleen deals with the animals in a really gentle but firm way I was very impressed with. The kennels are clean, spacious, and professional. Also, the price is more than fair. I really can not say enough good things about these kennels - we wouldn't have been able to take our vacation without Maroco Kennels - and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you!
The dogs are kept in a building with no windows and minimal lighting. I assume this is to keep them cool since there is no AC. As soon as we walked in I felt like it was a very depressing setting. We were told the dog would get yard time in his own space during the early morning and evening. The owner only said “he’s doing great” When I asked for an update. When we picked up our dog he had hardly eaten at all. I’m not sure if he was not fed or if he was so stressed out that he wouldn’t eat. (He’s been boarded other places and this has never been an issue anywhere else). Upon picking our dog up my husband witnessed the owner hit the dog on the head with his bowl. Overall I would never take my dog back there. It did not feel like it was a loving environment for him to be in. My dog has not been the same since. I have heard from other people that they have had the same experience, their dogs are not eating while there and they have seen her hit the dogs with the bowl.
We have had our dogs in a few kennels and when we leave our dogs with Collen at Maroco Kennels we rest easy because we know Colleen cares about our dogs. She is also a very knowledgeable trainer.
Our experience with Morocco kennel's left us with an uneasy feeling.We don't feel our dog was treated right,in a caring way,or received any attention.Her spirit has been injured.I read Brandy William's review,and it was our feelings as well in every way.Our dog has not been the same since.She was revenous when we picked her up.We left her there a week longer than we anticipated.She acted like she hadn't been fed the whole week.She was so starved for exercise she wouldn't stop running for a couple days.We wouldn't leave our puppy there again.
I highly recommend this place if you need a place to leave your dog , the owner was very nice and very understanding of my old rascoo needs, he’s an old dog 🐶, she was able to take him in with like 2 hrs notice over the holidays, she was a blessing to me and my dog 🐕, prices are very responsible.a lot do space for the dogs to run , very clean , my dog was happy to be there, I can tell he was by the way he was behaving when I picked him up , she was acting like he own the place :) Thank you so very much for taking care of my rascoo
Edit: 14 days after my initial call and a review and now I have your attention? Funny you used the exact same excuse as The Southern dog. Called this company for help with one of my dogs, was given a price for a session. Was then told I would receive a call later in the week once "they had figured their schedule out". Should have known I was being blown off, but I waited and Of course the call never came. I don't understand why people (companies) cant just say we cant help with your dog. I guess I may have dodged a bullet on this one, cant really expect a company with this level of "professionalism" in the basics to do a good job with my dog.
I have been struggling to train my eight month old German Shepherd mix. I am disabled and fear that my very strong puppy will knock me over. I desperately needed help to help me control him. I called Scott and he spent over 50 minutes talking to me and just a few pointers that he gave me over the phone it was amazing. He really cares about animals and he is very knowledgeable. Don't waste your time calling other trainers in this Yuma. I've tried and no one can beat his caring and compassion about training animals. Thank you Scott!
We called Scott while staying in Yuma, we have a 18 month old chocolate lab. Scott agreed to meet with us. We have only had one four hour session and we are so pleased with the progress so far. He is very caring, patient , and explains everything. High recommend .
Scott agreed to work with our 1 year old Lab's impulse control. Duke would go crazy the minute he saw other dogs, and I couldn't control him. We are in Yuma for a short time and Scott has been so accommodating fitting training sessions in given the short time-frame. There is already a noticeable difference in Duke's behavior. Scott is very knowledgeable and his love for dogs and his profession is very obvious. Thank you Scott, this is definitely a game changer for us. I would highly recommend Scott at Foothills Dog Ranch. 🐾❤️ Danielle and Duke British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Scott did such a wonderful job with obedience training for our rescue dog we adopted. Our dog loved working with Scott, too! I would recommend these people because they are conscientious, patient and very flexible.
What a great experience for my 2 doodles. They just loved the grooming experience and hanging out with their buddies. I loved the low cost quality grooming and confidence in knowing I will be a repeat customer.
Great place for grooming. They take good care of your pet and do a very nice job of grooming & nails! I used them twice and am very satisfied!
He took great care of our fur ball. Even texted a few photos! Definitely found our puppy sitter for Fire
My girls love Erica n Scott. They are kind and really care for our fur babies.
Best trainer I have found for my dog. Mrs. Is a great groomer!! Best team!

I am SOOO grateful to have found “Your Best Dog Yet” and Miss Jessica. When I adopted Roxy I knew I needed professional support and help in bringing her out of her shell after being a long stay at the shelter. Roxy went through the in-board training program and it was truly WONDERFUL. A few weeks after her graduating from in board we went back for a group class to continue her learning (but mostly mine this time!). Roxy feels right at home with Miss Jessica and any time I need to leave town she goes in for boarding and it’s such a relief to have zero worries about her care while I’m gone! I highly recommend!
Wow! Jessica surpassed our expectations. She trained our 4 month old puppy and the results are amazing. When we met we described our goals and Jessica not only listened but delivered. Our puppy came home and had learned some manners. I would highly recommend Jessica because your dog will return as "Your Best Dog Yet". It's not just a name of her business. Here's Libby sitting for Jessica. Thanks Jessica for helping Libby and us.
Loooove Jessica for the amazing work she did with our 3yr old HUSKY!! He came back a whole new and improved husky. So glad we found her!
We have used other boarding places here in Yuma and our traumatized rescue beagles came home after their first boarding with Jessica more relaxed, less triggered and less vocal than in the past. We will absolutely be using Jessica moving forward. She took excellent care of our 3 babies for 10 days even providing text updates on how they were doing. Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. She will treat your pets as if they were her own. Thank you Jessica for such great care of our three babies ❤️❤️
Ms Jessica is a wonderful trainer! We were having trouble with our almost 7 year old shepherd mix named DeeDee. She would bark and lunge at other dogs when she saw them and sometimes people as well. She was also very difficult to walk on a leash, she pulled us as we tried to walk her and she nearly pull us down. We asked Jessica to help us and boy did she! In 4 sessions DeeDee is welled behaved no more barking and pulling on the leash. Jessica is a wonderful trainer we would highly recommend her!
I fell in love with this beautiful two month old Border Collie / Siberian Husky female puppy with one blue eye at the rescue shelter. We named her Bella Blu and travelled from Olympia, WA to Yuma, AZ for the winter. I wanted Bella to start her training properly and turned to Google for training videos. Some videos were better than others, but there was always something missing. I started looking for local training that I could take Bella to. After interviewing several local training facilities we decided, well actually Bella chose, Jessica from “Your Best Dog Yet.” We started with personal training visits. I realized what the training videos were not providing was constructive trainer guidance. I quickly realized that Bella was learning way faster than I was and we were only going to be in Yuma for three months. We decided to let Bella go to Jessica for in house 30-day training. Yes, we missed her, but Jessica kept us updated of her progress. Bella was actually walking the doggie treadmill. When Bella returned, Jessica transitioned us together with all of Bella’s new skills. Bella impressed our neighbors with her skills and continues to build new skills daily. Jessica is not just a dog trainer, but also a life long family member. I highly recommend “Your Best Dog Yet” for all your dog training or boarding needs.
I had high hopes for Your Best Dog Yet based on initial impressions, but my experience has been quite disappointing. Despite numerous attempts to reach out, my calls and messages have gone unanswered. This lack of communication reflects a troubling level of unprofessionalism. Additionally, it became evident that Your Best Dog Yet may be apprehensive about handling more challenging cases. When communicating my dog's specific needs by voicemail, there seems to be a reluctance to engage with with me on my dogs complex issues, which raises concerns about their ability to manage difficult situations effectively. For anyone considering their services, be prepared for potential delays in communication and a possible hesitation to take on tougher cases. Reliable and confident handling of all types of training scenarios is essential to me, and unfortunately, Your Best Dog Yet did not meet these expectations. I hope this feedback helps others who are seeking a more dependable and capable dog trainer. I’ll be looking elsewhere for someone who is both responsive and equipped to handle all training challenges.
Jessica has been such a blessing to us. In six private lessons she has taught us how to strengthen our bond with Stella Rose to get and to keep her attention on us. Walks are now a joy instead a nightmare. We will continue to work with Stella Rose as we head back to WA. Thank you Jessica, you are awesome, as a person and a trainer.
Jessica helped me so much with my puppy pitbull (Sandia) who was biting a lot, not well potty trained, becoming aggressive, etc. She taught me tricks, correct way to get her to stop biting, and how to get Sandia’s attention when needed. Jessica taught Sandia so much and became one of her best friends (mostly because she had food on her most times lol). i am so grateful for Jessica not only for helping me train my Sandia but for being so understanding when Sandia had her surgery and got sick not to long ago. Thank you so much Jessica we really appreciate you!❤️
Jessica has been such a gift for our miniature dachshund puppy. Jessica did a great job training him and us to be good dog parents. I can’t say thank you enough!! We recommend Jessica for all your dog training/boarding needs. She’s truly gifted at what she does!
Dropped off our pup for the weekend and her stay went so well. They gave us updates with photos and we can tell she really enjoyed her stay. Not only do they take such good care of the animals, but you can tell they really do spend time with them. Our pup isn't the best at playing fetch and they and noticed that along with her other silly behavior. First time bringing her and will definitely be back again, thank you!
Fantastic place to care for your furbaby’s needs. Ollie started daycare here this week. He LOVES it! Comes home and is lazy all evening. Brittney did an amazing job grooming him. He’s been to several groomers since I travel for work, and she seriously did a great job. I even got to see pictures of him while he was being groomed. I love that he was able to get groomed while attending daycare since I work during the week! The hours are nice, so I can run a few errands after work before picking him up. Ollie is excited to play at daycare again next week (:
I have used Buddy Sweets for training, grooming, and boarding. They were so gracious in doing a last minute check in on my baby Cain when I had a medical emergency with my other baby Eris. Even more so when they allowed and early check in for a last minute day care drop in when we had to rush Eris back to the vet and were there for me when I had to make the decision to put Eris down. I trust them with any furry friend and know you can too ❤️
Love the employees very kind to me and my pet. I trus them with my dog in grooming / daycare. My dog looks happy when going to Buddy Sweets. They are always quick to answer emails and text. I love this place.
So happy to have a place for my pups to stay at. We moved from San Diego and were worried about finding a place to board our dogs in the valley... we are grateful that Buddy Sweets has given us a peace of mind. They have been reliable, communicative and trustworthy. I've boarded both my dogs a couple of times at Buddy Sweets and they send me pictures during the day and respond quickly to any questions / requests. The registering process is a little time-intensive but I appreciate the depth of questions since it makes me think that they really care about having your dogs complete information in order to give them the best treatment possible. They are animal lovers and my pups seem to have a blast. 100% recommend this place!
The staff is absolutely amazing Brittney. The groomer is the best groomer. Ever he does my dog R. A. GZY and he is almost 14 years old and she has patience of gold. Is so patient with him and so loving. I wouldn't trust anybody but her to do my dog. And when he's when she's done with anthem, he smells so good and looks amazing. You should take everyone should take their dog down there to see Britney. I just love this place but I especially love. BritneyThe groomer cache is just amazing. Thank you Britney.ThelivinThloaca
Love the attention my older dog received and the photo/video updates. Each person there makes me feel comfortable with leaving Jackson. Thanks fir doing such a good job caring for my puppy.
This is Chloe my 9-year-old Siberian husky. She was in the care of Buddy sweets while my trip to Washington I absolutely recommend them. They took real good care of her, took her for her walks she had activities and they also send me videos of her while I was gone totally happy with their service. Thank you 💕 …
I have been a Buddy Sweats customer since 2019. The staff does a wonderful job taking care of my reserved dog Butda while we’re out of town. They provide messages and videos to check in on the pets which also made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in the warm and caring facility. Buddy Sweets is definitely my to-go place and I genuinely recommend them to all for boarding. Congrats to the facility moving and upgrading to a larger area, even through this hectic pandemic they have strived to maximize with pet care in mind. This is by far the best animal boarding facility in the valley! Thank you Buddy Sweets Family 💗
Brittany and staff always treat our Josie with love and care and her haircut is perfect 😊 Love the blueberry cologne ❤️ …
Pawsitivity is awesome Jennifer and her family treat our puppy like their own! Had my Doodle there for 6 nights and was a little worried about her, so I texted the Pawsitivity team and they sent a picture back of my pup happily playing with another dog. They do a great job of keeping the place cool on hot days! Pawsitivity was highly recommend to me and it is my pleasure to highly recommend it to others
Just picked my dog up and he was completely content. He has anxiety and we were gone for 10 days so I was worried about him. Jennifer kept in constant contact with me, sent videos/photos/updates daily. When I picked him up, all his things were packed and ready to go. I will definitely use pawsitively country again!
I love this place! Cindy (the owner) is the nicest lady and my dog love going to this place. Its clean, safe and Cindy personally takes care and gives love to each animal. My schedule is always all over the place and Cindy always makes time for my dog and me when I call, Ive never left my dog with anyone because I havent found a place or a person I thought would take care of him the way I would. I also no that the way my dog acts when he sees her and the gates we enter through i know from his excitement that this is a good place. He loves loves going there. Thanks Cindy giving such good care to my best friend! We will see you again soon. Laura and Buaz
This is a great place to leave your pet when needed. We left air dog Max here for the first time and from the moment he got out of the vehicle he seemed very happy. When we picked him up he was in a cheerful mood. This place is safe and I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. The prices here are also very fair. Great business as well.
Cindy watched our dog while we were on a long vacation. She sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing. He was in a great mood when we picked him up, I could tell he had a wonderful time socializing with Cindy and the other dogs! We will definitely be returning. 🐕 …
Excellent boarding kennel for dogs. Our pups always get lots of attention, and they have big yards to play in. Safe, shady indoor areas for when it gets hot and for sleeping. We'll be bringing our dogs here the next time we travel.
Love the care Cindi gives our fur babies when we are away. Picked the doggos up today, happy and healthy. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks again, Cindi. See you next time.
My dog is a wire haired fox terrior and very hyper, doesn’t like other dogs. When I picked her up she was clean, happy etc. when we got home she was than when I have brought her home from other kennels.
Jasey Rae and Stella love spending time at Pawsitively Country. They love Cindy and the country living!
We, and our dogs, are comfortable using this place. we never worry about our pets while we go on a trip. Thanks!
