Janie
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!
Lisa
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Jenny
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.

Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.

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!

Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !

We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.

Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.

Super easy to deal with and truly care for the well-being of your animal! Rocco says thank you
Elizabeth was great. She asked us questions on our dogs personality, feeding schedule etc to get to know him better. We were able to come get him during our vacation to take him on walks, and bring him back later on, even though she walks the dogs twice a day. To top it all off, we ended up overpaying, and they reached out to tell us this, and we were able to swing by and work it all out later on.
Wonderful people and location. My dog was well looked after, and in good spirits after his two day stay...even though the summer heat was up to 35 degrees.
Good service and value..... Our dog enjoyed his stay

There aren't enough stars for this review. I can't say enough positive things about my dogs stay here. I've kenneled him at many different places but unleashed has been the best. I was first struck by how quiet it was upon entering. Most places the dogs are barking excessively and obviously stressed. The dogs were all quiet and happily hanging out. I picked my dog up to go hiking and could tell he was eating (this doesn't usually happen as he gets stressed a bit in a kennel). After our hike I brought him back and he was thrilled to be back. He was actually tugging on his leash to get back into the building with his tail going a million times a minute. I have never been so happy to drop him off at a kennel before because I knew he would be well taken care of. Thank you guys so much for loving the pets in your care and providing them with a home away from home. I hope to be in the area again someday and will bring my fur baby back 😀
We can't rave enough about Unleashed and the awesome staff there. Unleashed is our dog's favourite place in the valley. He is beyond excited when we drop him off and never wants to leave when we pick him up! We also did obedience classes at Unleashed in the spring, which were great. The owners and staff are clearly knowledgeable and have a deep love for dogs. Our pup is still young and highly energetic, so he can be quite the handful. However, I know he is in excellent hands with the crew at Unleashed. We are very fortunate to have this business in the valley.
Most amazing doggie daycare I have ever come across. The owners are the best. Super polite and professional. My dog had so much fun. Will defently be back
My furbaby stayed with Unleashed for 1 month she had the best time. We loved that our dog was able to spend her days outdoors playing and not in a crate like many other kennels. We highly recommend Amber and her team for all your daycare/extended care needs.
My dogs only visited this dog care one time for the day. It was easy to get them booked in. I am grateful that Unleashed! Accepted my dogs for the day, I was camping with the dogs and I got to do some things I wouldn't normally get to do because they are usually with me. They seemed well cared for and the staff told me they had a good day. The place looked nice from what I could see. Drop off and pick up was easy and the price was very reasonable. Thank you! I would come back if I was in the area again.
Well run Daycare & Boarding facility ideally located btw Radium and Invermere. I booked daycare on short notice & they were terrific with my 15 yr. old retriever. I can highly recommend and will use Unleashed! again.
Unleashed Pet Care Services are absolutely brilliant. Having moved over from Scotland with our dog it has been great to give our dog some time to herself and play with friends at Unleashed. Amber and her team are so kind and friendly and very very knowledgeable of dogs needs and are very understanding of some dogs needs. My dog is nervous with some people and I feel her time at Unleashed has really brought her out of her shell, we will continue to use Unleashed as much as we can. As well as daycare and boarding we have also had her bathed and her nails trimmed while at Unleashed and they are brilliant, it’s great getting back a clean tired dog! Thank you Unleashed!
Took our dog there whilst we was on holiday in radium she loved it and was so excited to go every morning
I dropped my dog off for a 3 night stay at unleashed and it was amazing! My dog had a blast, he was sad to leave. It was the first time we have ever left our dog somewhere overnight and everyone was incredible! My dog slept the whole 4 hour drive home and continues to sleep the rest of the day! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to board their pup!
Great place, have been sending our dog, who is anxious around people, a few times a week for over a month. She’s happy to go and loves getting to run about with other dogs. All the staff are brilliant with her and care a lot about the dogs they’re looking after.

Wendy runs an awesome business! We're super pleased with her services. As a dog kennel, she doesn't accept dogs that are problematic (fair warning) in concern for the rest of her charges, but takes excellent care of the ones she boards. She also takes cats. It is a small business so don't expect to be able to come in at the drop of a hat, but she's happy to work with you as best she can. Phone during business hours, be patient, and you can guarantee that when you need to have someone take care of your dog for a while, the Rocky Mountain Pet Resort and Spa will have your pet's needs and happiness well taken care of.
We have two dogs - ages 14 and 4. Because our senior dog doesn’t like open wooden stairs Wendy provided us with a solution- for additional cost of course , of a separate and quieter space in The Cottage. Our girls spend 6 nights there and they appeared to have enjoyed their stay.
Wendy took us in when Unleashed cancelled on us last minute. This place is everything you could possibly want in a doggy day-care. Lots of care, friendly pups, and tons of space for them to run around. My dog got spoiled rotten with tons of love, cuddles and treats, and was extremely comfortable with his stay. Wendy is truly a lifesaver and runs a five star business.
Such a gorgeous place for pups to stay! Roo just LOVES staying at the Rocky Mtn Pet Resort & Spa if our adventures aren't dog friendly & he has plenty of space to run and play with his new friends. Wendy is so lovely to deal with & has the pups best interest at heart.
My husband and I wanted to go to the hot springs and needed someone last minute to take our little pup Winston. Wendy was so kind and understanding to deal with, and even though it was a quiet cleaning day for her, she still took our boy even though he was the only pup there. When we drove up we even saw them playing. You can tell Wendy absolutely loves dogs! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling through! Thankyou Wendy for having such understanding! 👍🏻
We were in a pinch needing a place for our 2 Great Danes to stay for half a day while we were passing through and Wendy was very accommodating to work with me over the phone a few days before our arrival to set things up. Timing wise it ended up being better for them to spend the night which Wendy was able to provide on short notice. Our Danes, as lovely as they are, have separation anxiety and can be easily stressed out but when we arrived the next morning they were both in good spirits. They got to stay in a beautiful little "cottage" all to themselves complete with a fireplace, couch, dog beds and a large play area. The entire facility is sparkling clean and very cozy . I would definitely recommend this place for your pets!
Wendy put our minds at ease throughout our vacation with updates about our dog. The resort is located mins away from Radium Hot Springs BC. Our dog seemed really happy with his week long stay.
I brought my dog Waylon yesterday to this place. I wanted to check out more of Radium & Invermere and I cannot bring my dog everywhere. I was looking for him to get some daycare for between 4 to 5 hours and decided to try this place. They are in Edgewater which is just a short drive from Radium Hot Springs. It was quite easy to find and the nice thing about kennels or daycare for dogs in small towns is they get a country feel. They have a large fenced yard for the dogs to explore and interact with. He made a friend when he got there just minutes later. There are not a lot of these facilities in the greater Radium region but I would recommend Mrs & Mr Bennett for short or long term dog care.
Our Dogs just love Wendy and the Pet resort! Feels so great to know your fur kids are so well cared for when you are away! would recommend them to Everyone!! Best place in the valley.
We won't use this business again. We thought we would give it a try but when the owner charged us for an extra day because she decided she wouldn't take him the evening we arrived (after being behind a serious highway accident with no cell coverage), and told us only on pick up day of all the "issues" she had with our dog (some of which put him in extreme danger) instead of contacting us immediately, made for a bad experience. Our pup has been to many pet resorts with very little issue but she made sure to tell us what a bad dog he was. Our pup is highly trained and is generally easy to manage when exercised properly and given some care. It was clear he received neither of these during his stay. This resort is likely more tailored for dogs who are okay to sit in a cage for a few days at a time and don't require attention or proper exercise.
