Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, $11/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!
Absolutely the best groomer! I gave specific instructions as to how I want my ALD groomed and Rebecca followed to perfection. I am so very pleased!! Thank you!
THE BEST! Our two english bulldogs LOVED their time at Ruff Dogs. The owners are wonderful and have a fantastic business. Facility is very Clean, owners are so kind and you can see all the dogs having so much fun! Our dogs pouted when they had to go home. We requested a bath before we picked them up and WOW they were so clean and smelled amazing! We can't wait to go back, dont wait- book your pets stay here today! Thank you for having a wonderful dog boarding, daycare and grooming business in South Fork
Highly recommend Ruff Dogs. My spaniel was nervous when dropping her off for boarding but was able to come out of her shell and hangout with all the dogs! Always pleasant talking with them either on the phone or drop off or pick up. Thank you, Rebecca and staff.
Highly recommend. I could tell my dog enjoyed his overnight stay and daycare. I made a last-minute reservation before a holiday and they were very patient. I suggest having all veterinary records and pet information available in a digital format (PDF to send via email) the first time making a reservation, which will help things going smoothly.
Our first time staying in South Fork when snow skiing. We usually stay in Pagosa but decided to try something different. Thankful Ruff dogs was open. Had a great experience with them. Super friendly and on time in the mornings. (Unlike other places we used) 😉. Enjoyed talking to them and LOVEd how they used social media to post the dogs thru-out their day there. It was like leaving our baby with family. They really love the dogs. Very clean and most definitely would take our Lucy there again!!!
My dog Ace had a great time staying here for 5 nights. I was worried because he hadn’t stayed in a kennel or boarding place for almost 5 years! He’s a spoiled couch dog….but when I picked him up he was happy, clean (he got a bath and nails clipped before pick-up), and overall seemed super excited but not stressed at all! He got to spend his days playing with other dogs, inside and outside in the snow! They took great care of him and made sure he took his vitamins and responded to my email midweek when I checked in on him. They are responsive and overall the whole experience was great! I’ll certainly be taking him here again when I come in town and spend my days up at Wolf Creek! 10/10 would recommend!
We have a 2-yr-old cattle dog pit mix and a 4-month-old cattle dog shepherd mix. We took them here for a one night boarding stay to acclimate the puppy to boarding and daycare. They loved it. Even the older dog (who is high anxiety and scared of new people and places) warmed up quickly and had fun - I don’t think he wanted to leave :) The facility is great, and the owners are very friendly and great with the dogs.
Our family loves everything about Ruff Dogs! We have a groom-requiring breed and Rebecca is so great with our dog who is slow-to-warm. Our pup also attends daycare up to three times a week where Steve is so good with our floof and spends time with each of the dogs there. Steve is a dedicated trainer and Rebecca knows the business inside and out. We are very thankful to have them and Ruff Dogs in South Fork!
This was our shy border collie Seek’s first daycare experience, and she clearly had a blast and was thrilled to come back the second time! Very friendly staff that took amazing care of Seek and won her over right away even though she usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers.
My pug had a great stay at Ruff Dogs. I picked him up for a walk during his stay and he was excited to get back to Ruff Dogs. I felt good about leaving my dog with Steve & Rebecca and will book again when I’m in the area.
We utilized Cheryl with Durango Pet Sitting when we needed our puppy watched during our train ride. Since we come in from N. Arizona, Ms. Cheryl did an in hotel room pet sit for us at the Homewood Suites on Girard, just a couple minutes from downtown. She arrived promptly, took time to get to know the personality or our pup and what training commands we are using with him. She jumped right in to take care of our pup as we were wrapping up to head out of the hotel. While we were gone, she checked in, sent pictures of him and his antics and kept us updated on his day. On return, she met us outside as she knew he would be excited to see us and it made the reunion with him in a better location on the lawn instead of the room. Ms. Cheryl is a conscientious pet sitter and I would not only recommend, but will very likely use again in the future.
Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. We have one who is elderly and one who is paralyzed. To say that our dogs are special needs is an understatement. They require responsible 24 hr. a day care and Cheryl was able to meet their needs wonderfully. We have never left them with anyone but family members but, having recently moved to this area, we no longer have family near by. We were nervous about hiring someone but, Cheryl took time to come to our home and meet us and our pets. She is so thorough with instructions and really took time to observe their routine and behavior. When we returned from our trip our home was spotless and our doggies looked so bright eyed and happy. I think they probably wish she was here every day! She is very knowledgeable about animals and was able to give us some great tips for better nutrition. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services for future trips!
I rarely give five 5 stars because it is difficult for any business to be 100% perfect all the time every time, mostly when taking care of our fur babies with whom our expectations are very high. However, my experience with Durango Pet Sitting was so perfect in every way they deserve five stars! We were traveling to the Durango area from California for a vacation. I was SO concerned about finding the right sitter for our pup while we toured around (ATV rides, rafting, etc.) and I'm so glad I chose Durango Pet Sitting because everything went perfect. First, the communication before and during our pup Ivy's visit was clear, timely and Cheryl never failed to respond to a message and clearly communicated and understood what our requests for Ivy were. Second, Cheryl perfectly executed our plan to visit Ivy at our campground. She was there at the times we requested (one day she visited Ivy 3'x in one day). She sent a text message after each visit and with pictures of our little lady. Finally, I should mention I own a couple of pet sitting businesses (don't think Cheryl knows this) so my expectations are through the roof when caring for dogs. Cheryl is amazing and we will use her services again should we be traveling this way in the future.
Very recently, we had Cheryl of Durango Pet Sitting come to our home and stay with our 12 year old dog, Sasha for 4 days and 3 nights. This was our first experience with 24/7 pet care. We had always boarded Sasha before, but an unacceptable experience caused us to look for better options. From beginning to end, working with Cheryl was a positive experience. She treated Sasha with loving care, following all of our directions and suggestions. Cheryl also respected our home in every way, including the security of it. When we returned home, Sasha met us at the door calmly, as though we had never been away. If you are searching for a person , who can be trusted to lovingly take care of your pet for a few hours or for longer periods of time, we highly recommend Durango Pet Sitting. Tim and Stacy Hannigan Durango, CO
We had the best experience with Cheryl, our pet sitter! We had not planned on taking our puppy with us on vacation. Our puppy sitting plans fell through so we had to go to plan B! We booked a river rafting trip in Durango and our dog was not allowed on the trip. We called so many places and everyone was full because it was the 4th of July weekend. Luckily, Cheryl called us back from Durango Pet Sitting and she had an opening. She met us AT the rafting starting location and met us back there at the end of our trip with our puppy! She was so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. We can tell that Cooper (our puppy) had a blast, and so did we. I highly recommend Cheryl! Everything was perfect. Could not have asked for a better experience.
Happy we found Cheryl My husband and I were vacationing in Ouray for a week with our two female German Shepherds. During our stay in Ouray we had planned a train trip out of Durango. We were in a dilemma what to do with the girls during our train ride. Travel time from Ouray to Durango would be at least 4 hours round trip plus the 10 hour train ride. Our girls would not be able to stay alone in the cabin for this length of time. A few months before our vacation we contacted day cares in the Durango area and did not feel comfortable leaving our girls with them. In addition, our schedule didn’t seem like it would work with their facility. Then we found Durango Pet Sitting. After visiting with Cheryl for a while we felt her service was exactly what we needed and the girls would be in good hands. Not knowing Cheryl or having the opportunity to meet her before our trip made us a little apprehensive but everything worked out PERFECT. Cheryl met us at the train station before our departure and was waiting for us when we returned. The girls were happy and seemed like they had been well cared for. I would highly recommend Cheryl for your pet needs. Jill Mayer
Very reliable and caring Cheryl, who was our pet sitter from Durango Pet Sitting, was very caring towards our cat. She covered every detail and remained in contact the whole time we were out of town. She even made some suggestions regarding how we could keep our cat even more safe and comfortable while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future.
Cheryl took excellent care of our little dog so we could enjoy a day going to and from Durango and Silverton. She had recommended we get a first floor room at the Doubletree, which we did. She came to our room to take care of her. She and Izzy were able to take walks up and down the river from right outside our door. She sent us pictures of what they were doing and kept in touch with us throughout the day...whenever we had a connection. I highly recommend Cheryl and Durando Pet Sitting.
Cheryl is the best! One of my dogs is extremely shy and fearful and will not come close to people, but after a few visits he and Cheryl were best friends. She could walk him and he would lie near her chair which is remarkable for him. I could always leave home without worrying about my pets at home when Cheryl was there. Unfortunately, we have moved out of state, but if I could afford it I would fly Cheryl to our house when I need a pet sitter. You can leave home and feel confident that your pets are loved and well cared for.
My husband and I wanted to go on the train in Durango and our two poodles could not go on the train, so we needed a "sitter" for the day. Our two girls are very special to us and we have never done anything like this before. After searching online (we live in Wisconsin) for someone who would do this for us, I came to Durango Pet Sitting. The website had a caring feel and I reached out to see if this was possible. Cheryl was very helpful and assuring. I was still apprehensive - this was a stranger whom I have never met that would be caring for out precious angels for a whole day. Well, everything could not have gone smoother! Cheryl picked up our girls at our hotel - cared for them the entire day and then delivered them back to us at the train station. They were happy and seemed very content. I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend Cheryl for your pet's care!
We were in town for a trip to the hot springs and our dogs had a great day at doggy day care! They are different ages and have unique needs as well as some trauma from being at the shelter before we adopted them. Despite all of that, staff were so kind, patient and understanding that they both had a great day. They were happy and tired when we picked them up and we are so grateful! We will definitely come back when we are back in Pagosa area!
I highly recommend doggy day care for any occasion. Whether it be half day whole day or a nights stay they always make sure pennie has what she needs. I love seeing them interact with the animals and I always feel my animal is safe loved and secure. They always exceed expectations and even give medication that my dog needs when it’s needed. Pennie always leaves happy and tired from her play time. So thankful for a place like this ❤️❤️
Very poor facility. One of my dogs escape from under fence due to lack of maintenance of fence and lack of supervision (was lost for 11+ hours) and my other dog was injured and I was not reimbursed for vet bills caused by there very poorly maintained and dirty facility. I was not even notified of either of these incidents until I called to check in on them. I Do NOT recommend doggy day care at all. Owner is not friendly and is rude.
Extremely unsatisfied with the safety and cleanliness of the facility and duties of owner. I trusted this facility with our two fur babies while we stayed at a timeshare right down the road that did not allow pets. Upon dropping off my two dogs I let the owners wife know that my animals cannot be separated by any means, she assured me that they wouldn’t and that everything would be fine. Sometime in the middle of the night and or early morning, my two dogs escaped their sleeping quarters and were found by the main owner wondering around the break room area. One was found injured and bleeding and the other scared and extremely anxious. Upon the owner finding my dogs escaped, anxious, scared and injured and not where they were supposed to be; he decided to take manners into his own hands and handle the situation himself without informing me. “Why was I never called right away?” In an effort to address my wounded dog, he separates him from my other dog, placing him outside in their poorly maintained fenced outdoor run area. You can imagine my already anxious and scared dog was even more scared and anxious after being separated from his brother who he cannot see. In an attempt to find his brother he escaped under their fence. This was in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. He was lost for 11+ hours that day and was only found by the help of the FB community page. 45 minutes into the owner arriving, assessing the situation that my dogs were clearly anxious, scared and injured. He still didn’t give me a call to inform me about anything that has happened. The only reason I know anything at all was because I called when they opened to ask about my dogs. This is when he began with ohh boy… and informed me that one was missing and the other was injured. Asking him how this happened he told me what I just told you. Completely distraught, I go to be with my injured dog while my husband goes and helps to try to find my other dog. Thinking they would have their on call vet there addressing his wounds he has my injured dog limping outside in the snowstorm, soaking wet walking around the facility to try to bait my other dog to come back. My other dog is nowhere to be found. Upset And worried about my injured dog I’m asking for a vet and they refer me to a vet clinic up the road that is closed. I had to go to an emergency vet hospital which I had to pay $500+ for him to be sedated, wounds cleaned, inspected and addressed as well as given an antibiotic to prevent future infection. Meanwhile, my other dog was still lost, and my husband was looking for him. Again he was lost for 11+ hours in the middle of a heavy snowstorm and was only found right before night fall due to their fb community page. He was Shivering cold and completely terrified. “First of all, why was I not called right away and informed that they escaped their sleeping quarters? Why didn’t they call their supposedly on call vet to address my dogs wounds right away? Why were my dogs separated after being told that they should not be separated by any means?” After this terrible experience we went home as soon as we could. A week later my injured dog had to go back to the vet because he got a fast growing abscess from a bacteria infection that could have only happened from their dirty facility. This infection turned out to be antibiotic resistant. In order for this to be killed we had to pay for an expensive culture to be sent out. Meaning it needed to be regrown in a lab to discover what would kill it. Over a month of heavy duty antibiotics and a long healing process he has finally recovered. We informed the facility that all we want is the vet bills paid for as they were responsible. Out of the $1000+ we paid in vet bills they only offered to pay $250 to cover the cost of bill out there. As the owner told my husband, we had a vet you could’ve used for cheaper, but your wife didn’t listen as she was hysterical. I will tell you right now that is not true. If you care about your pets, do not leave them at this facility!
Very poorly operated facility! No one pays attention to direction, they take forever to answer any questions if you can even get a hold of them and they don’t take care of their fencing to keep our pets secure! Dogs escaping is unacceptable on all levels! I highly recommend taking your loved pets elsewhere!
Maria, her husband and staff really car about your dog. We have a 16 year old dog that requires a little more care. Our dog is staying for 7 days. On day 2 we picked our dog to hang out with us and Maria noticed our dog was partially deaf and had some dietary issues. She noticed on day five our dog was not eating and called us to ask if she could try something different for her diet. We said yes and our dog Brandy eat her food ssceell as Maria calling us back to let us know she ate her food.. Maria really cares and understands dogs. We would not have gotten this care in a franchise dog care back in Colorado Springs. Maria thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Scott, Cindy and Brandy.❤❤🐶
Both owners are incredibly kind and knowledgeable along with staff! We had to board our dog on short notice while we were in Pagosa Springs a few weeks ago. They took great care of our very anxious dog while we boarded her overnight. Jeff was very nice to talk to upon checking in and was very reassuring. We were so worried about her because she’s never been boarded before but Maria (I believe that is her name!) really took the time to get to know her. Prices are VERY fair and overall we had a fantastic experience!
if i could give someone no stars i would. this place should not be in buisness, the facilities were disgusting, they do not pay attention to any of the animals they hold, as well as the workers treat customers as if their time is not worth it.
They really helped us out in a pinch and our dogs didn't seem stressed like they have after some boarding experiences. Would definitely recommend!
Owner- Jeff- takes great care of his guests. Everything is always clean.
Our dog received excellent care the week he spent at Pet Getaway. He loves water so they brought in a pool for him to play in. Their level of care far exceeded my expectations. We highly recommend them.
I have never boarded my German Shepherd before and was extremely nervous about it. Rachel was wonderful with him. I felt very safe in leaving him in her care. I have boarded him twice now with her and highly recommend this service.
Rachel is so sweet and good with the dogs, she has a big play yard with toys and separate sleeping kennels. My dog loves her so much she doesn't even cry when I'm saying see you in a week. Wonderful!
We loved Pet Getaway Daycare! They took excellent care of our two dogs for the day. Such a joy to work with! Our pups returned happy and tired (just what we were looking for)! I couldn't recommend Pet Getaway Daycare more.
We got in on short notice and we were very pleased with the care our Bella was given. Nice atmosphere and clean facility. I would recommend them to anyone! !
Very nice facility and loved my dogs care for the week she stayed here.
Rachel takes good care of our baby Bell while we are away!!
Ms. Rachel is awesome with our dog Shasta.
thank you!
Jaime has been nothing short of amazing! Have been taking Tato to her property for the past month and it has been a great experience for both of us. She sends daily pictures of the pups which is very much appreciated!
Jaime was awesome! We’ve taken our husky to other facilities and upon the entry it had the feeling of a doggy jail! Her spot was open beautiful with plenty of space for our pup to run and play. I highly recommend her if you are gone for an extended amount of time and are concerned about the happiness of your dog-0 while you’re gone. And she sent us picture updates which I totally loved.
Very responsive. Great location with 2 fenced in acres for the dogs to play. My dog had a great time and it was great that she did not require him to be kenneled.
Our girl loved her weekend with Jamie and actually didn't want to go home. Jamie was very communicative and nice. We were very comfortable leaving our fur child with her at her awesome facility. We will be glad to visit Paws in The Pines Co again and again.
I'm so grateful I found this place. Jaime is wonderful with pets and her place is the best. Unlike other places where your pups are in a kennel or dog run, Jaime keeps them in her home and on her fenced in 3 acres in the pines of Pagosa. She takes and sends pictures and text updates on your pups experience so you can rest easy while your away. My pups had a great time and I will not hesitate to leave them with her in the future.
Took good care of our pup. Lots of room to roam in the fenced yard and good care was provided. Clearly the owner loves dogs and understands their various behaviors. So glad we found Paws in the Pines.
Perfect place for a doggy retreat!
Thank you for your review!
Wonderful doggie daycare for my pup. She was happy to be there and enjoyed her visit. I’ll visit again next time I’m in town. There’s also lots of delicious treats for your dog to enjoy.
I want to start by saying that the staff was accommodating! It was quite hard to find a place to watch my dog for the day so we could go fishing on our vacation. However when I picked my dog up, he was super hyper which I've never experienced after daycare before. He normally is exausted! I was quite confused by that because when I asked if they tried him with other dogs they said "no, we were quite slow". I've worked in the daycare business before and am a veterinary technician... I have a feeling they didn't play with dog as much as they should have. Was considering doing another day with them during our vacation but elected not to.
Our 1st time boarding our dogs. They seemed very happy after being there for3 days.
I was not able to use the day care so I don't know how their services are. However, I spent many many hours trying to schedule on the website to be kicked out, the pages would not move from one to the other, errors that are not clear, and getting ahold of amyone if you work a full time job is VERY difficult.. I canceled my trip because of it. What an exercise in frustration.
This was the dog grooming area. Staff was very professional and caring to both us and our dog. After ~2 hours our dog was buffed, fluffed and dried from her oatmeal shampoo and bath. She generally hates baths at home but was happy and playful afterwards.
Our pup Otis is notoriously difficult when it comes to nail trims. We've tried every possible method of trimming his nails at home, some groomers have just given up and sent him home with only a few nails done. Andie at All 4 Paws had all 20 nails trimmed AND dremelled in under 20 minutes with no issues. I was shocked. Otis is happy. Can't recommend this business highly enough. Thank you!
We have recently moved away from the San Luis Valley, where in the past we kenneled our 2 aged cats, and now aging dog at All-4-Paws over the past 10 years. An emergency at our current kennel required quick thinking for our boarding needs and we chose to drive 2.5 hours out of our way to board our dog, at All-4-Paws. THAT is how much we LOVE the facility, the care, but most of all the staff. If we could have moved them with us we would have!
Thanks for caring for Malu during her visit. I look forward to my next visit and so does she!!
I took my two little rescues to All-4-Paws for an overnight stay. They had never been boarded before. They came back healthy, tired from a lot of activity, and happy. They had a good experience and we will be bringing them back!
Best service best people best place to leave your loved one! My frenchie won't go anywhere else
We've used wag n tails to board our pup twice so far and each experience has been wonderful! the staff is very kind and caring. The pricing is affordable. Being able to leave your dog somewhere that you can trust is monumental. Highly recommend this place!
Sarah bathed and groomed our (stubborn) 14 yr old Australian Shepherd. We could not have been more pleased. Our puppy was not only the best looking dog on the block, she was in a great mood! Sarah has a special touch. I highly recommend Sarah.
We boarded our GSP with Wag'N Tails while in Colorado on vacation. They treated her like their own. The staff was so excited to see our girl and she felt very comfortable with them from the get-go. Check-in and Check-out were seamless, and they were responsive to inquiries while our pup was there. We will definitely be using them again when we travel out that way! Thank you!!!
My pups are all wags when they go in. They love their add-on walks. Wag-n-tails has been incredibly accommodating and makes doing shift work in Salida possible.
This establishment is top notch. My dogs love coming here and the staff is wonderful. I don't know what I'd do without them? They are super helpful and kind to humans and doggos alike!
They saved my arse last September. My jrt hurt his leg while hiking the Collegiate loop. I was able to use Chaffee shuttle from BV to get him to wagn tails where he stayed while I finished my hike. I hope to thru hike the CT with my pup so it's great to know they are there if need be..
I got the strong impression that these people REALLY love dogs, which is easy, but not everyone who does the dirty work enjoys them. My dogs were very happy when I picked them up after a week.
I had a great experience with boarding my dogs here! I tried another dog boarding service in town before I knew of wag-n-tails and they let the dogs all socialize together and my peaceful little dog ending up with a huge scar on her head from getting bullied. I never had to worry about that with wag-n-tails! They are super accommodating and I felt like my dogs were safe there! THANKS Wag-n-tails!!
Mike and Patty have been taking care of my hard to manage fur babies for years. In fact, they are the only ones I trust to give my rambunctious crew the love they need while I'm away. They are always there when I need them and I don't mind driving 120 miles out of my way for the extra peace of mind.Their place is clean, comfy and warm and I won't ever take my dogs to anyone else. If you need boarding, you can trust them to treat your best friend like family.
We brought our dog and two cats here for a 9 night stay and I was very nervous, but after walking in I felt that my pets were going to be in good hands! My dog can be very intimidating to some, they didn’t bat an eye. They made sure we were happy with where the animals were and got to say our goodbyes. We were able to call and get a check in on them anytime. My dog didn’t want to eat at first and they gave him a little treat on top of his food to get him to eat! On top of it all we got a great price and a generous discount we were not expecting. Very thankful and happy with our experience!! Will be using this facility for any future needs! Thank you again!
I just love this place. I've been coming here for years. They spend a lot of time with your pets. It's beautiful country. You can also have your pets bathed and pampered while they stay. Love the fact that you can pick up and drop off at any time. They really do care about your pets.
I am SO grateful for the Pampered Pets staff and facility! I had a very last minute change in plans and Maggie was beyond gracious, patient and helpful. Maggie offered their Pick-Up service which was a saving grace for me and sent me photos and updates of my pup for the 5 days she was there! My pup came home without missing a beat which tells me she was well cared for. Pampered Pets gives such personal care for each pup at their facility and I appreciate the love and attention they provide. I will definitely use Pampered Pets again! Thank you so much Maggie and the PP staff - you all provide a wonderful and valuable service that means so much to pet owners like myself.
I have a reactive dog and another dog. Boarded them for a week when we went to Mexico. The reactive dog had to be picked up early at another kennel. Pampered Pets did an outstanding job of keeping both pups super happy so we could enjoy our vacation. We are thrilled to have a home away from home for our two dogs!
Our dogs get great care from Maggie and the Pampered Pets crew. Highly recommend!!
I hate to leave a bad review because the owner, Maggie, is very nice but I would probably reconsider sending your pet here.. we were recommended to it by another kennel in Durango that was full and didn't read many reviews beforehand and wish we did. As other reviews have said, the online photos of the beautiful grassy pastures are VERY misleading. it did not look like that at all - it looked like a sad, dark pound. When we pulled up, we seriously debated cancelling our weekend camping plans as we got such a bad feeling, but ended up leaving her since Maggie made us feel comfortable. She said she'd send us pictures over the weekend, however we didn't get any.. We ended up coming home a day early (from a 2 day trip) because we were having such bad anxiety over her care, and are SO glad we did. Her bandana and dog beg smelled / felt like they were totally soaked in her own urine (which she's never done before so I imagine she was terrified), and the blanket we gave them to keep with her was in the back and smelled like it had been washed, so I have to imagine she peed herself on that too. I asked my brother to check in on her since we wouldnt have service, but he said he called 3 times with no answer. Also, she was scratching like crazy and found flea bites on her and are pretty sure she would have gotten them there because she wasn't showing signs before. Finally, small thing, but they didn't ask for proof of her up to date vaccinations... appreciate they took our word for it, but most solid kennels require proof of that stuff. Overall, the place has fair prices and a really sweet owner, but I would not return so wanted to share that information in case helpful!
We have been using Pampered Pets for our Border Collie for many years, and it is always been a good experience for us and the dog. She is now on Meds, and they are terrific about making sure she gets her pills, and mixing her food. She gets a nice dog run and lots of fresh water. When the weather is right, she gets to play in the pond twice a day, or she gets nice walks. Always a happy girl! Love this facility!
I have 3 dogs that I have taken to Pampered Pets multiple times. I like the large kennels and I feel like Patti really cares about my pet's stay. She calls in advance to see if my dogs have any special needs for their stay. She is very accommodating. I like the large wide open space outside where the dogs are taken for walks during the day. I also love the fact that we can drop off and pick up our dogs at any time. Very convenient! The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars is that it is a long drive to get there for us. I wish they were closer.
We left our three dogs with Maggie for two weeks while we traveled to the Caribbean. One of our dogs is diabetic, and Maggie was amazing with him. First off, Maggie makes you feel welcome immediately upon arrival. When I dropped off the dogs, she and her beautiful daughter were there to meet me with big smiles and warm welcomes. I was amazed at how spotless the kennels are...throughout. Maggie was totally nonplussed about our diabetic dog, Napoleon. She put our three in a large kennel with an adjoining kennel, so Napoleon could eat separately but then would be reunited with his buddies immediately. Maggie later told me she sat with him while he ate, so she could make sure he finished his food, AND so she could then give him his insulin. I highly recommend Pampered Pets, and we definitely will return.
Love this place! The only kennels I’ve put my dogs that my dogs LOVE. I was moving and came to say hi to the dogs, (they were in for 10 days) took them on a walk around the property then was able to get them to walk back into their kennel without a leash! They weren’t desperate to come home, or super anxious when I got there. Maggie is so nice, and I will ONLY bring my fur babies here! :) Must mention, the pricing is very reasonable as well. COME HERE!
Pampered Pets is a great kennel and they take care of the dogs like they were their own. I had 3 dogs and loved the big kennels that all three could board in at one time. I love that you can drop off and pick up at any time and don't have to be there by a certain time if your travel plans change. Patti really cares about the animals. Kennels are always clean. I trust Pampered Pets with my fur babies!
Mountain pals is in unique, even “boutique“ sort of service. You could be dropping your dog off at some doggy daycare, where he or she spends part of their day in a kennel and part of their day running around a 30’ ring with other dogs. Not here, your dog will be enjoying a day in the wilderness running in a pack as nature intended. There are risks involved here. If you want your dog to enjoy life as a nature intended you need to be sure that your dog has been trained or naturally has the desire to stay with the pack. Rebecca treats your animals like one of the family Including opening our home to them. Instead of a cage, they hang out on the couch. Dogs enjoy a great diet, lots of exercise, sunshine, and the company of others. We all appreciate the photos that Rebecca sends out of the dogs throughout the day. There’s nothing more fun than getting a picture of your pooch enjoying his day while you’re at work It’s reassuring and it makes us feel like a better pet owners. Rather than kenneling a dog and seeing that somebody stopped by to let him pee, our dogs is out having the day that I wish we could! The pictures, the excellent personal service, transportation services and most importantly the expert facilitation of socialization in a pack setting and mentality using the Colorado wilderness as her classroom, Rebecca is hands down the best at what she does. Im not one to write fan letters but this one is merited. Rebecca is very dedicated to her business, to customer service but most importantly to improving the life’s of the animals in her care. A great service.
The dog sitting service met all my expectations. She took great care of my dog and provided daily hikes, which ensured he got sufficient exercise. I appreciated their method of slowly introducing the dogs to each other, as it made me feel confident about my dog's safety. They were reliable and well-organized.
If you have been searching for someone in the mountains to care for your dog look no further. My three year old lab has been going to daycare at Mountain Pals since he was six months old and it has been nothing but a positive experience all around! Rebecca is very accommodating with booking + pickup/drop-offs, payment is easy, daily pictures from the walk and updates about his new pup friends are the best to get each day while I'm at work. It is also fun to track his miles on his GPS collar that he wears on his adventure hikes at Mountain Pals. The only problem is now he ALWAYS wants to be at daycare with Rebecca and his pup friends. :)
Rebecca does an amazing job caring for our two miniature Heelers. They go on daily hikes, which they love tremendously. Rebecca is very caring and LOVES dogs. She has been our only pet sitter since 2009, we like her that much! She always texts us with updates and pictures. When she pulls up to pick up our dogs, both go running to her with excitement. Mountain Pals has always taken the utmost responsibility and care for Midge and Dickey Bob, as well as Josie and Donna Jean in the past.
Mountain Pals is a great pet sitting service. Rebecca always goes above and beyond taking care of our dog. She takes him on a great hike daily and gives me updates throughout the day. He does wear a GPS collar for extra security. Great company, super reliable, safe, and so much fun for our dog!
My Stevedog loves mountain pals. Rebecca provides an awesome mountain dog retreat. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I cannot recommend Rebecca enough for all your pet sitting. She watches my special-needs dog and does the most fantastic job. She has a lot of knowledge when it comes to dogs in general, and I feel totally safe and secure with my dog in her care.
Rebecca has taken my dogs on multiple adventures! I always feel safe when they were in her care!
I needed a dog sitter on short notice and Rebecca at mountain Pals came through! Rebecca kept me updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures and videos of my dog having a great time.
Rebecca has been watching our dogs for over seven years and I can't imagine leaving them with anyone else. They both have special dietary and medication needs. They aren't the most energetic dogs and she does a good job of balancing exercise with rest. The Mountain Pals service is 1000% times better than any boarding facility because she gives our dogs real outdoor exercise and one on one attention. Both of our dogs love visiting Rebeccas for both day visits and overnights.
We were in Durango on vacation for a few days and needed a place to board our dogs while we did some touristy things. Willow Tree was awesome, they made it super easy to make a reservation and submit all the paperwork. The facility is really nice and clean, I felt good about leaving our dogs there (this was the first time either had been boarded). Jack and Mabel seemed like they had a great time while we were gone. It made it much easier to have fun and focus on our vacation knowing we didn't have to worry about the pups. All of the employees were friendly and professional, and even made a point to ask how our trip was. Definitely recommend and will use Willow Tree in the future if we're back in the area!
We have utilized Willow Tree for both our previous dog and our current dog for years. They are very accommodating and trustworthy. They can handle all kinds of situations - medications, social anxiety, etc. They will shower your dog with love and attention. Our Black Lab always comes home happy. We want to commend them on this recent stay. Our dog has had a hard time socializing with other dogs due to being attacked when he was a puppy. The staff worked hard to help him meet other dogs in a safe and supervised atmosphere and it went so well. We will be using them every time we're out of town, no matter what. Their prices are very reasonable. $225 for 5 days.
I was visiting Durango, CO, for the first time. I needed a kennel for my fur baby so I could do tourist things that didn't allow dogs. Willow Tree was a fantastic choice. They loved having her and by the third visit, my dog was excited to be stsying with them.
I brought my beagle Missy there for the day. It was my first time leaving her. Needless to say I was very upset leaving her. They handled me and my dog with such care. They totally understood how hard it was. Sue sent me pictures, I called and they came back for a 7 o’clock pick up. They were great.
We trust all the employees with our babies. We’ve been utilizing willow tree for about 6 years and could never board anywhere else. They keep track of all vaccinations, personalities, food allergies…EVERYTHING. There is a wonderful play area where all boarders get to play. Our dog comes home happy and excited to go back. We love willow tree and all their employees!
My German Shepard is a handful. She opens gates, climbs fences, and doesn’t socialize well. Needless to say, leaving her with someone can be stressful. Willow Tree takes such good care of our girl when we are gone. She always comes home happy. The staff really get to know your dog and love them too.
Willow Tree is fantastic, they take such great care of our pup when we are out of town! She isn't always great with several dogs but they take the time to get her comfortable and introduce her slowly. They can give meds and are very qualified. Highly recommend!
Our pup loves it here!! They really take the best care and accommodate all of his special needs. So thankful for such a loving place to drip him off when we travel.
We needed doggy daycare while we visited the area and I found Willow Tree Kennels online a couple days before we arrived. Registering via phone/email was quick and easy. The staff were wonderful and gave me full confidence that our dog was in safe hands. They were incredibly friendly and did a great job of calming our dog on our arrival. They charged me a price that was more than fair. It was easy to make/cancel arrangements as needed. A trustworthy and top notch operation.
They are great! This was our pups first experience at a doggy day care. We took the all-day train and did not want him hanging out in the condo by himself. WTK sent me a mid-day text to update how he was doing. They also accommodated our drop-off and pick-up times since their hours were outside of the train departure/arrival times we were riding on. He must have had fun because he fell asleep during the car ride back to our condo.
No matter the service I request - ALWAYS five star. I board a 5lb and a 90lb dog there, board my cats… I come home and frankly am concerned they'd rather stay… no one is stressed, no one frantic. My large Kuvasz is groomed there they care as much about his behavior and future grooming as getting through the current… they don't force anything on him. They charge $35 to wash and brush him out… I tip $30 he looks great!! Again no stress… he actually is happy to see Alyssa! I cannot say enough!
The best place in the SLV to get your Dog groomed! One of the gals named Dani, she does a phenomenal job! 👌🏻💯👏🏻😁 She makes sure to make my pup look absolutely adorable & super clean 🧼🧽🫧 I'd highly recommend this business to anyone. …
The staff was amazing! We boarded our dog for 7 nights. When we picked her up, she was happy and healthy and clean. She was so exhausted she slept most of the day! Will be back here again!
I had to board my dog for 7 days. I could not be happier with the way they cared for my dog who is not easy by any means. They were very patient, and kind with him. My dog also had some tummy issues while he was there and they knew exactly how to take care of him. I am very impressed. Thank you so much Noah's Arff for taking such good care of my dog.
The team were absolutely wonderful to work with and took fantastic care of my dog for boarding and grooming. We usually take our fur baby everywhere with us but in the rare instances we don't, we know she'll be well taken care of at Noah's Arff.
They did an incredible job on our Newfie. She looked like an entirely different dog when we picked her up. And they were so good with her. Definitely will be bringing her again
We boarded our two dogs here for three weeks while we were on vacation. Tuesday, a 14 year old lab, has to have special medications and special food. They did a great job with all of his special needs. Diesel, a 1.5 year old Great Dane is a force of nature all on his own. Both dogs greeted us well groomed, well fed and happy even after such a lengthy stay.. We will definitely be back, and definitely recommend to others.
My dogs really like it there. They are eager to get there and visit. Alyssa and her crew take very good care of them.
It's location is beautiful & the folks take wonderful care of the dogs.
Had my dog groomed today at Noah’s Arff. To say it was awful would be an incredible understatement, but Google won’t let me use anything stronger or more appropriate. I have never, ever seen such an awful groom. Plus she burned my boy. I tried contacting the person who did it and she made it out like it was my fault and wouldn’t even attempt to fix it. She just said “sorry for the inconvenience, have a nice day.” The place was dirty, the floor wasn’t swept, the couch was stained with dog pee, the front rug was chewed up and the place smelled. Do NOT use! Not for grooming or kenneling. Very bad! Minus five stars.
