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.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
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, $15/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!
Our dogs have always been hesitant to be dropped off at daycare/boarding, so in seeing their excitement to get dropped off at Kipo's after their first stay we knew this place was different! Tiffany maintains great communication throughout their stay with daily pictures and has always been flexible to accommodate our schedule. Couldn't recommend this place more!
The best doggy daycare around. My pup Oliver has been going weekly while I work for the last 8 months and absolutely loves it. Tiffany treats him like family. There is great space to run around and play all day long. I also love that I can get updates throughout the day and when I board him overnight!
My girls absolutely LOVE going to Kipo’s! There are always friends to play with, and Tiffany takes great care of everyone while they’re there. We use Kipo’s for both daycare and overnight boarding, and highly recommend it!
I am so glad I found this place! Tiffany and the crew have made this a perfect home for our dogs whenever we have to work or go on vacation. The dog look forward to going and are at home when there. She sends us updates and pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend this doggie daycare to anyone. Picture is of my boy, Crowley after a long play in the yard with his friends. He loves the couch.
Josie loves to go to Kipo's Place! Tiffany and family welcome the animals into their home. I get pictures from Josie's day and she gets such good socialization there.
Tiffany is great! Sparkles loves going to play with Kipo. She just goes bonkers when we get close. Tiffany takes Sparkles at a moments notice. She is very accommodating to our last minute needs.
My pup goes for daycare and absolutely loves it! He gets to play and make so many friends! A plus for me is he is super tired when it’s time to go home! Thank you Kipo’s Place
Attentive, loving, creative, & really cares about your pup! My dog is ecstatic to be dropped off at Kipo's.
Kipos Place is amazing I took my Hisky mix chloe for an overnight stay and ahe got groomed and came back so soft and smelt amazing. Thank you so much 😍 She cant wait to come back and play …
Great place to deliver groceries to.
I moved from out of state and was really hoping to find a great place to bring my dog for boarding and daycare that he would fit into. He LOVES it at Carolyn’s. With a not super social but really high energy dog, Carolyn’s is the perfect place for him and I always trust he will be taken care of and come home calm and tired. What you get for the price is definitely worth it. They have plenty of staff and care for all the pups and make sure they all are grouped together so they get along. Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care. They post updates during the day which is a cute way to check in on your pup. Everything from our first meet and greet day to extended boarding, I know my dog will be taken care of and enjoy his time. Highly recommend this place.
BEST DOGGY DAYCARE IN TOWN! The space is great and the staff is super friendly. My pup gets very excited every time we drop him off, and fulfilled and exhausted by the time we get home. This truly is an outstanding place for your dog(s) to socialize and get their needed exercise.
We found Carolyn’s K9 Retreat earlier this summer when looking for a doggy daycare and boarding for our sweet six month old Aussiedoodle, Gus. They were very responsive to set up a plan to help Gus get accommodated so we could board him for our vacation in a month. All the staff members are so kind and loving to all the pups! Our Gus had some separation anxiety issues during his first doggy daycare stays and his first overnight stay. The staff was very patience with Gus and able to help him calm down and become habituated to the new environment! Gus was able to have a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s while we were able to enjoy a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. I would totally recommend Carolyn’s K9 Retreat for doggy daycare and boarding, especially for dogs who are not fully kennel trained!
This is like Disneyland for dogs! My dog loves this place and feels right at home here! She gets super excited when we arrive. The staff are phenomenal and very attentive. My dog is a smaller dog too and gets shy but the staff has helped her feel comfortable and welcome. She has made great doggy friends and loves staying here for the day or overnight. Your pet is in good hands when going to the Carolyn’s K9 retreat!
Carolyn’s is our pup, Dory’s favorite place!!! She gets to play all day with her friends and everyone is incredible with the dogs!! Such a clean environment as well. Their spaw treatments always leave her smelling and looking her best! We cannot recommend them enough. We are so appreciative of Carolyn’s K9 Retreat!! 🩷 …
I LOVE this place. My pup is 1 month into classes & he LOVES it! I can hardly home him back when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's tuckered out from playing & learning. Bringing him here has helped my pup in solicitation & gives him lots of time to play with other dogs. Best part is seeing the daily pics posted on FB throughout the day while my pup is there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
My dog isn’t the easiest- Lola jumps all the fences, has separation anxiety and is on medication. I’ve never been able to leave her anywhere! Until Carolyn and her team!!!! Carolyn and her husband own this amazing sanctuary for our dogs! All of the employees are exceptionally caring and attentive. I now feel so comforted that we have found a place to care for our baby!!! They keep me updated as to how she is doing when I am out of town and my heart is happy knowing she is happy there.
Carolyn’s K9 Retreat is doggy Disneyland for our dog! He gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot and doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up! They send pictures and texts and treat him like family! I cannot recommend this place more! Simply one of a kind and THE BEST! Gunner will be going here forever! All their staff treat him like their own. Love this place!!
We are so happy we’ve chosen Carolyn’s K9 Retreat as our local daycare/boarding spot. We appreciate that they require a meet & greet and a full day of daycare prior to boarding to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. We also love that they’re a no-kennel facility so our boy can lounge on a couch as he would at home. We trust their staff & know Wally is in caring, capable hands when he’s under their care!
Be sure you leave your pup(s) smiling instead of sticking their tongue out at you! Reach out to Carolyn’s K9 retreat for all the daycare, grooming, and boarding needs of your dog. We sure are glad we have!
Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma inhaler which was so comforting to me! I will always use Oh My Dog Sitters for my pet's care in my absence.
Amy and her team are *great* and the Client Portal system is a huge time-saver. All of the sitters are great and the daily visit check-in, with an activity report and photos, is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Oh My Dog to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on them every visit. Each visit they contacted me to say they were there, sent pics and then gave details of their visit. They let me know when they left and how the dogs went potty and what treats or food they gave them. Highly recommend Oh My Dog (sitters) I look forward to having them in the future
Can't gush over Amy and her crew enough. The care they take and attention to safety detail is top notch. And our dogs go bonkers when they see Amy or Brenda out and about, so I know they are given the best times on their walks and visits! We hope to recommend Oh My Sitters to many more doggie parent friends -- we wish we'd found them sooner.
With Amy and crew I know our kitty is well cared for while we are gone! I love the daily reports letting us know how things are going. They even take the time to ensure our hummingbird feeders are full. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!
Amy and her team are the best pet sitters we have ever worked with. We never have to worry about our pups while out of town, and get photos and written updates with each visit through the app they use (also super convenient.) They are understanding and accommodating of our two rescue dog's needs and quirks, and truly go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy while we are gone. I cannot recommend Oh My Dog enough!
We always use OMD to care for our precious pets while away. The team is very professional, caring, and attentive to details. I recommend them highly for both cats and dogs. We always get fabulous notes and photos while we’re away which gives us peace of mind on our trip, and our pets are very well taken care of, including meds as needed and special notes.
Amy has watched our cats twice now and she is awesome! She sends daily updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond for our pets and house and it really helps remove any anxiety we have with leaving our pets at home while we are gone.
Amy from Oh My Dog! (Sitters) made friends with our shy cat in record time. She is personable, professional, and an experienced pet-sitter. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with someone checking in when we can't be there. Highly recommend -- your pets will be in good hands!
Oh My Dog! took excellent care of my diabetic cat which was such a great relief. Their attention to detail and daily pet updates were awesome. I highly recommend Oh My Dog! and will definitely use their services again.
The Country Inn is an outstanding full-service dog and cat facility. Tony, the owner, truly cares about his clients. Their groomer is an expert. Tony can also provide great training and handling tips. I’ll only board my dogs and cat at the Country Inn Pet Resort. Call them today!
Tony is great. I had a few personal problems and he was very kind and patient. The resort feels warm and very welcoming. Perfect location in the country, away from noise and clutter.
The owner, Tony and his staff are amazing. My dogs were boarded there and one came down with sone concerning symptoms. Tony acted quickly and reached out to us while we were in Hawaii and took her to the Emergency Vet Hospital. Due to his concern and quick action our dog made it through the necessary procedure. The doctors said that Tony stayed with her till they reached us and called everyday to see how she was. We cannot express how grateful we are to Tony and his staff. My dogs also love to go out there just for daycare. They come home happy and tired.
My dog absolutely loves going to doggy daycare here. She gets so excited when I drop her off. They remember her and are always friendly. She also gets bathed here, it's very affordable and they do a really great job! So glad to have them in McCleary!
I have had nothing but positive experiences taking my dog to Country Inn for both short and long stays. The staff are friendly and the owner is very knowledgeable and makes sure your pets needs are more than met. I feel very comfortable leaving my pup at Country Inn Pet Resort and Spa. I cannot recommend them enough.
Whoa, super impressed. We need to kennel our 4mo old (dog)for one day and decided to test the waters with a half day stay. Tony was great, showed us around, they have lots of outdoor space for the pups, kennels looked clean, they also have on site groomer which is awesome. Was a muddy day, was expecting a muddy sheepdog, but they washed her down before I picked her up. Also, prices are AMAZING!! Very happy wallet.
Many of my cats have been boarded here when needed for the past 17 years. Very friendly staff. Very accommodating. ❤️
Very friendly staff! They worked with me in an unforeseen situation and everything worked ou perfectly. I will definitely bring my Penny back out.
The staff here is very helpful and keeps us informed of any issues related to our dog's behavior or health. Much to our delight, they text videos of the dogs playing and interacting which provides a great deal of comfort knowing they're having fun. Highly recommend.
Seems like a very comfortable spot for both humans and their companions. On a recommendation, we enjoyed a simple and very quick visit to Country Inn, having our Callie cat's claws trimmed. We're assuming (sorry, we didn't ask....) the owner took care of Callie and she was so very welcoming, gentle and thankfully super efficient with the claw thing. Cats.....she knew exactly how to handle the process, no drama and we're so very thankful for this. The staff that we did encounter were equally welcoming and helpful. By the looks of the sounds of the operation (pups waiting to be picked up and dogs barking during their grooming, etc.), we have a feeling it can be a busy place (we were invited to have Callie's claws trimmed at noon, during their lunch and the Spa "closed," to avoid dogs coming and going, easing the anxiety level in Callie. What other pet spa would go this extra mile?)! Thank you Country Inn Pet Resort and Spa!
Karen is seriously a master of her craft. When we first met her, we could tell right away that she's highly personable and extremely competent when it comes to dog-care. We enlisted her help several times throughout the years and every time our dog, Jake, was beyond excited to see her. She's professional, flexible, funny, and great at caring for our fur baby.
I hired Karen for daily weekday walks for 6 weeks. She arrives timely, has strong communication skills and my dog loves her! I was looking for service with someone experienced, trustworthy, reliable, licensed, and insured and Karen met all this criteria and more. Look no further for your pet care!
Karen is a gem. Reliable, trustworthy, prompt and very considerate. We've used her services for almost 2 years now, through the pandemic. She has been wonderful. Our German shepherd loves her and we do too. You could not find a better person to take care of your pet. 10 Stars from us.
You will not be disappointed. Karen has been caring for my pups on and off for nearly a decade. The last six months of his life my 100lb boxer stopped using his rear end. Karen came several days a week, put him in his wheelchair, cleaned up after him (no easy task), but most importantly, genuinely cared enough to help me track his needs. She took one of the best pictures I have of my old man. I took a few years to get my next dog, which Karen has now walked several days a week for four years. My dog LOVES her walks. If I happen to be there when Karen comes my dog does not even acknowledge my presence. Karen is communicative, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I have never once worried about my pets in her care. When my dog allows me to chat with her, I genuinely enjoy her company.
Karen is reliable and goes the extra mile. We have used her service for our kitty for several years. Karen is also a fun person to chat with and we know our furry family member is in good hands!
Karen's Walkies! service is outstanding. She's reliable, professional, friendly, smart, and a pleasure to know. She's been extremely responsive and flexible when our travel plans have changed on very short notice. She's great with checking the house while we're gone and she's very easy to work with. She's well worth the cost for the piece of mind alone. I highly recommend Karen and her Walkies! service.
I'm so glad I found Oly Walkies! My family took a much-needed trip to the coast, but needed to find a reliable and trustworthy person to tend to our flock of chickens. From the time I first contacted Karen to returning our housekey, she was responsive and thorough. She even hauled in two giant boxes I hadn't been expecting until we returned. I happily and enthusiastically recommend Karen for your petsitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Karen!
Over a period of several years I used Walkies and the experience was very positive. Even when i had a crazy, out-of-control hunting dog, she was well taken care of by Karen and loved seeing her pull up with her own dog. The two became besties. Karen has an innate sense of what works and doesn't work and always has the best interest of your furbaby at heart. Call her.
Walkies is the best. Karen's been covering our cats for trips and vacations for over five years and just having her on speed dial makes us feel like more responsible pet owners. She's a fount of wisdom as well. Full marks.
Walkies! took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She also gave us valuable advice on training ideas to help manage some poor behaviors in our adopted adult Shepherd. She is clearly an expert in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone. She is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and a real animal lover!
We left for a week out of state and needed help with short notice. Maria's schedule was pretty full, but she was able to help us out. She strives to help if she can. We have dogs, cats, fish and birds that were cared for the entire time we were gone. We received a consultation where we walked through all the specifics prior to leaving. We met our sitters in advance. They interacted with the pets for a while before we left, so we could introduce everyone. We do have some pets with anxiety, so this was important to us. We had our first vacation with real peace of mind because of Happy at Home Pet Sitting and their outstanding services. We spent years finding the right way to be able to leave town, not worry and have our pets routines uninterrupted as much as possible. This will be our long term first choice whenever we leave for vacations, or on business. The prices are more than fair. Our pets were unfazed by our leaving because they had the necessary support while we were gone. We would recommend Maria and Happy at Home Pet Sitting for anyone that would like peace of mind, quality care for your pets at an affordable price. Short or long stay, use Maria & her team for your pets while you're away!
Maria has been absolutely wonderful with our cats and our dog Arrow! We feel so lucky to have found her, its comforting knowing our pets are safe and happy when she is there. Maria has done feedings and medications with playtime for us a few times and visits always come with an update and cute pictures!
I recently used Happy at Home Pet Sitting Service to care for my 10 year-old cat, Zoey. Zoey is not terribly used to being left alone (thanks, Covid!), so, I was somewhat apprehensive about leaving her without me for 10 days while on a trip. Maria stopped by before my trip and got to know Zoey and me, and provided assurances that my furry friend would be very well cared for. Maria explained everything about her services, provided references and brochures, and said that in my case, her company had a local sitter who would care for Zoey while I was away (the local person also stopped by before my trip to meet Zoey and me). While I was on the trip, I received a daily text update and periodic photos of Zoey. Maria had her staff follow all of my instructions and I could tell that Zoey had been well cared for while I was gone. Maria's prices are very reasonable and the fact that she has been in business for so long says a lot about the integrity of her service. She obviously takes pet sitting very seriously and provided the highest level of care for my Zoey. I could not be more satisfied. When I called my local vet to inform them that Maria and her team would be watching Zoey (in case a medical emergency), the vet said they are familiar with Maria's service and spoke highly of her. I think Maria has a lot of clients and is busy...but she made time for me and I will be using her service when I travel again in the near future. David, Ocean Shores.
Love love love! First impression...I contacted Maria and she quickly responded. This has continued throughout our relationship with her. When it comes to our furbabies, we know how important timely replies are! After that, she met us to go over our expected services and meet our sitter. After the service... We found nice notes journaling our dog's disposition and activities when the sitter visited. I 100% completely trust and recommend this company! Maria has been wonderful about following up to be sure we were happy afterward. I really can't say enough good about them. One last thing...icing on the cake...reasonably priced! Just an update... We have used Happy at Home 3 times now. Our oldest dog, Abe, used to get very stressed when we got the suitcases out. Now that he knows Happy at Home ladies will be coming by, he could care less if we leave!
I tried contacting these people multiple time, but each time it just rang and rang till I hit the answering machine. I left a voicemail and got no returning call. Basically what's the point of having a business if you can't even answer a phone.... thanks to these people I wasn't able to find a place for my dog when a emergency popped up and I had to put my dog in the pound. Please take down your website if you don't answer. Or at least put business hours down. A very poorly ran business
Maria and her team are excellent. Highly recommend!
They take great care of our dogs and kitty, and the daily dog club visit is awesome, and well worth peace of mind! Happy dogs!☺
Lovely people who look after our wee hairy beasties very well.
Fantadtic service! They do a great job with our furbabies
Maria and crew go above and beyond!
Dollie always has a wonderful experience when boarded at The Country Inn for Cats - she adjusts almost immediately once she is back home which means no trauma when boarded. I actually think she enjoys the experience as it is stimulating to be around other cats (safely in her kitty condo) so it's kinda like a vacation for her! Highly recommend!
Last year my cat stayed here for three months, and this time it was about two weeks. Wonderful place for cats. Nice cat kennel.
Couldn’t get my kitty out of the tree house, I think she wanted to stay. She had a wonderful experience and made some new friends which she has been missing at home. Thank you for your kind heart Kendall !
I love this place. I was nervous to board my cat for five days at a place I've never boarded before. Upon arrival, the caretakers of the inn made me and my cat feel at ease with leaving him under their watchful care. I even got to tour the facilities and meet the other cats at the inn and watch them set up the cat condo arrangements for my cat. During my trip, I was able to easily receive updates on how my furry friend was doing and was pleased to return to an even more relaxed and calm looking cat than when I left. Thank you so much for this positive experience!
We have kenneled our 2 kitties at Country Inn for cats on two occasions. Check in and check out operated smoothly. One of our cats is pretty sociable and she seemed to have a good time hanging with other kitties. Our second girl choose to remain in her cage. Both animals were well taken care of by the owner. We even received text messages and photos. I greatly recommend Country Inn for cats.
We have boarded our two cats at The Country Inn for Cats on several occasions and we are always very pleased with the care and attention they receive. Sue, Bob and Kendall are wonderful to work with and seem to really enjoy and care about all the cats boarded there. Very good, knowledgeable and friendly people. Highly recommend.
Our cat, Joy, genuinely seems to enjoy her stays at the Country Inn for Cats. She is never anxious and is never in a hurry to leave. It's always clean,calm and peaceful. Our cat enjoys the window views from her crate and her turns to get out and explore outside her crate. She requires medication which has never been an issue there. The owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I would, without hesitation, recommend the Country Inn for Cats to anyone looking for a comfortable place to board their cats.
My cat and I were both delighted with the clean, comfortable and friendly accommodations designed with the needs of cats in mind. My cat loved the family, played with the little girl, and was happy with his vacation home. I have no doubt that Country Inn for Cats spoiled and pampered my cat. I will be happy to take him to the Inn any time I need to be away from home again. Why leave your cat with cold-hearted strangers when you have The Country Inn For Cats, that will be a happy home while you're away? The price was extremely reasonable, too.
I have used The Country Inn for Cats many times and we love it!! I appreciate the way they take the time to personally get to know you and you cats! I always feel comfortable leaving my cat Monty knowing he will be safe and well cared for! Love the areas they have for the boarders to have their own space and play. So thankful to use this service every time I head out of town! So worth the peace of mind!
Sue, Ann Marie and Jackie do a fabulous job making a truly comfortable home away from home for kitties when you're away. This is my second time leaving my two cats at Country Inn for Cats, and they're scheduled to stay there a third time over Christmas. Attention to every detail is the hallmark of this wonderful and much needed service here in Grays Harbor. My kitties enjoyed the freedom to explore outside their condo, making themselves at home in several cat trees and window ledges throughout the Inn. Sue has gone the distance to ensure that all feline guests have all their needs met according to their usual routines, including medications if needed. The condos are kept spotlessly clean, with no worries about exposure to fleas, etc. It was such a relief to be able to leave my two furry loved ones in such a warm, welcoming, clean and totally cat-friendly environment while I was away. I had complete confidence that Sue and her staff would do everything to accommodate my kitties in the style to which they are accustomed at home....no small feat. Superb service!! Thank you, Sue, Ann Marie, and Jackie!
My two huskies spent a day at doggie daycare and had a great time. They are a very busy place, but always take the time to handle my pups and be patient with them. I appreciate the staff and the great care they provide. Also recently boarded my huskies while I went out of state to help care for an ill parent. My stress was already high from the situation and leaving my fur babies only added stress. The staff were so kind and understanding. They gave me updates whenever I wanted and the pictures they sent were great. I am not sure the fur babies missed me at all! They had so much fun. I had them groomed on the day I picked them up too. It was the best grooming they had ever had. Super impressed and just love this place. See photos of fun.
I was super worried about boarding my dog as it has been 2-3 years and when he went to doggy daycare, he had a bad experience there….. however, Northwind was great!! They took good care of my boy and made sure he had the best experience! They even were able to get him to play in the social times with other dogs, which surprised me because my dog is a lil crazy sometimes.. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby while I was out of town! It’s greatly appreciated & I will be bringing him back here!
This started out a positive experience. We were boarding our 3 dogs for the first time, back in early July. We toured the facility less than a week before we dropped our dogs off to make sure we were comfortable with the decision. Everyone seemed nice and knowledgeable. We dropped our crew off 6 days later. We were gone for approx a week. When we came back, we picked up the crew and got a rundown on how they had done. We were impressed. Next day I noted my dogs were acting poorly, sneezing, coughing, lethargic. I called the kennel to ask them about it and I was told, oh yeah, there's Bordatella going through the kennel. I was told they posted a sign. We were there 3 times and never was it mentioned. I was told to just give them cough medicine and they would be fine. I was also told they would check on us in a couple days to see how it was going. We decided to call our vet and they said they would need to go on antibiotics. We also called our doctors, because my husband is a transplant patient and We were told we needed to get on antibiotics as well. There were times during the first couple of weeks our dogs were so sick, we had to sit with them in the bathroom with shower on to help them breathe. Our dogs began having diarrhea issues not long after that. We thought it was stress and the antibiotics. A few weeks later we had them tested, since it wasn't going away, and we were told they had giardia as well. Now, our dogs don't go anywhere, and they aren't around any other animals, so the only explanation was tue kennel. When we explained to our vet what had taken place and about how the kennel had handled things once we got home, they were not happy. Posting a sign and never disclosing at any point before, during or after our dogs were there, was considered poor practice in their eyes. It's one thing if the kennel staff didn't know, but they did. Why didnt they shut down and clean, air out, or whatever before taking in more dogs. We paid extra for our dogs to be kept separate from the other dogs to keep them as safe as possible. And we checked on them several times while we were gone. We also had a backup person available if they needed to be picked up. Them coming home with 2 seperate illnesses never crossed our minds. So the first thing some one is likely to say, when reading this, is these things happen. We are now heading to the end of October and our dogs are STILL sick. We've gone through several rounds of antibiotics, testing, other medications, constantly disinfecting and we are still dealing with diarrhea on a daily basis. That is 3 MONTHS of constant sickness, stress, expenses, medications, and there's no relief in sight. We have been told by the vet that because it is so contagious they keep giving it to each other. I have other pets in my home that have had to stay separated from the dogs, which compounds the stress, anxiety and workload. I want people to really think about that. We wanted to go on a vacation, which we hadn't done in years, and this is what we were left with. No being up front, no follow ups, nothing. Why would this place think ANYONE would be okay with playing roulette with their dogs health. This has ruined any trust we have in placing our pets with anyone else. If you think this is not a big deal, or okay in anyway, go ask your vet if they think this practice is okay. My husband left a review a few months ago and, in his words, no one cared. Still no follow up or explanation on why my dogs came home this sick. I'm angry. I'm angry and I'm frustrated that this experience gets a shrug and an oh well. I've noticed alot of people are speaking highly of this kennel, it was recommended to us as well, but this was our experience after ONE time when our dogs were being kept to themselves. NEVER AGAIN.
Northwind Pet Center is a great place to drop you dog or cat off fir the day or when you go out of town. Their kennel areas are temperature control and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend them.
The staff was great, the tour was great but when we picked our dogs up they all had Bordetella (kennel cough). When we called them the person told us that there was something posted on the wall and we should of read it. If you are having any issues where our animals can get sick it should be discussed with us. Staff was very friendly and I liked the facilities but having a real tough time with our dogs being sick from staying there
Very caring and efficient. Clean. Playtime. My dogs love NorthWind. Professional. Been going here for 20 years. Love them!
The only place I trust to take care of my dog. Competitively priced and a lot of different playtime and grooming options available when boarding
These guys do a great job at grooming our dogs. Highly recommend them. The manager and staff go all out for Halloween decorations.
JBLM Service members find another spot for your furry family members. I got my husky back with a gash on his head and a swollen face. After talking with the staff they said some other dog went after him after reviewing video footage and then I got the reply of, "we're not responsible for injuries at playtime." I doubt I'm getting the full truth because my dog is also wincing like he's afraid he's going to get hit and he's never done that before. Additionally: Don't take my word for it just look at other 1 star reviews and see the pattern for yourselves. Update: This kennel and their inept owner can count their blessings our furry family member made a full recovery. Talked with several vets about what happened and they think he either was trying to escape and got stuck or he was hit. I can't afford bail money should I find I was lied to and he was hit so y'all get a free ride on this one.
This is the most amazing place for daycare if your a dog! Our dog Cooper gets so excited when we tell him he is going to the North Winds! The staff is amazingly attentive and caring. We canceled coming in one day as Cooper had a sore foot. They called to make sure he was OK. The foot was totally unrelated to the NW, but the staff cared about him. We are so confident when we board him there that everyday is a good day for him. Highly recommend the NW. Such a great place!
We HIGHLY recommend Julie!! She is absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies and every dog she cares for. They will feel like and beloved like they are at home. She goes above and beyond of what I have experienced with other doggy daycare and boarding. My boys get super excited about going to see her.
Can’t say enough good things about Julie!! She treats my dogs like they are her own and they LOVE going to her house! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and is extra skilled at taking care of the little ones (mine are 5 and 7 pounds). Love love Julie!!
Julie is amazing with my boys. They love her and have so much fun playing with all of their friends. She provides all the comforts of home, everything is very clean with lots of attention and detail to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for dogs! I love all the photos she sends!!
Julie is AWESOME!!!! We haven't cut our dogs nails for YEARS because he hates to have it done and no one seems to be able to do it!! Julie jumped right in and literally did it in NO time at all and my dog had no problem at all. Thank you so much Julie!
We ABSOLUTELY adore Julie & her pet service. She is wonderful with the animals. We would recommend her highly to anyone! Cupcake loves her!
Julie is 100% professional, and also treats our pup like a family member. Our dog loves it there!
Kody loves to go to Aunt Julie’s. He loves her, and he loves all his little doggie friends there. He has a great time there. She treats all the dogs as her own family members.
Julie is the absolute best! She is so good at trimming our labs nails and is so kind and caring!
The most amazing dog sitting place ever. Julie has a true passion for little creatures. She is the original dog whisperer!!
Julie is a great dogsitter. My dog can't wait to go see her!
