Cat Sitters in South Woodstock, CT

Committed team. The entire staff knew my puppy’s name when I dropped him off and he was happy, healthy and in a good mental state when i picked him him up. I’ll definitely board my pup here again, It’s worth the 80 mile drive each way to know my dog is happy and taken care off.

I was SO happy with my pups services! She looked SO cuuute & clean! She’s 4 months, her first grooming - so I’m sure it wasn’t easy, they did a great job & she seemed to have been so comfortable & happy with their team. I will definitely be using them for all their services again! Highly recommend!

Great people. They took care of my cat with no issues. Everyone was so friendly and inviting.

Thank you for taking care of Bellini for the last minute extented stay ! So nice to know we can depend on Morningstar !

The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Maverick comes home nice and tired out and always eager to go.

As a fur momma to a young skittish rescue pup and a first time user of a kennel, I had a lot of questions and nervousness. Morning Star immediately put me at ease. They kindly answered all of my questions, explained their daily routine and assured me my dog would be well care for. Morning Star patiently helped her overcome the initial anxiety, then eased her into the social groups to play and make friends. After 8 days I returned to a very happy, groomed and tired-in-a-good-way pup! I would recommend Morning Star to anyone looking for a safe, loving, home environment for their dogs that will ease your mind while you are away.

Lily loves her time at the pet resort. Everyone is very caring and I have no concerns leaving her there when I am away and can't have her with me. They do a wonderful job grooming as well.

Hello, My dog stayed at Morning Star Farm for the second time this past August and the staff were great. The resort and farm are a wonderful place for a dog if your dog is the type that would like a farm and has a lot of energy. The fact that this may be the first review I have written in years should speak volumes. Don’t hesitate to book-you won’t regret it and the break from your dog is nice one in a while! In closing we were very pleased and will use Morning Star again in the future!

Absolutely wonderful staff my 3.5 month old puppy was a rockstar and she loved playing with everyone. I can’t say enough about the care she got

Stephanie did a great job introducing me to the facility and procedures. I have only left our pup there one day but I was pleased with everything. Bella a happy but tired pup when I picked her up.

We met Tim back around 2002. After using 2 other pet sitting services that lied & put our pets at serious risk...They said they were at our place ,but they both lied. That's when I did a extensive search for a new pet sitter. We found Summit Pet Sitting , we met with Tim & looked over his all his referrals & found them to be terrific ... One of my cats was Diabetic & Tim is totally trained in giving injections. Both our cats were loving cats .Merlin was a dog in a cats body. Sheba was a bit more of a one person cat, but in time Tim was able to gain her trust. If we asked Tim to call or other certain requests he was awesome. He is loyal, trustworthy & caring person. I can not endorse Tim & Summit Pet Sitting enough.

Tim has been caring for our dogs and fish in our home for the past 7 years. We are now moving out of state and literally the worst part about leaving is that we will no longer have Tim around to take care of our animals (we tried to convince him to go with us but he politely declined). We found Tim 7 years ago after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. Before we found Tim, we had been ready to cancel a trip because we were no longer comfortable leaving our dogs with the pet sitter we had been using. We found Tim, called his (glowing) references, had him over to meet our animals, and we hired him at the last minute. Since then, he has probably stayed at our house at least 25 times over the years. We have had our dogs stay at his house several times as well. Tim is very flexible and accommodating. Our dogs love him. He probably takes better care of them than we do. We never worry at all anymore when we have to travel because we know they are in very good hands. We would 1000% recommend him to anyone who is looking for the absolute best care for their fur-kids!

Tim has been our dog-sitter for the past few years and he has consistently provided us with reliable service. Most recently, Tim watched our dogs during our honeymoon. He noticed one of our dogs had a foot infection and took her to the vet after consulting us. We are grateful his attentiveness to our dogs' well-being led to a speedy recovery. He writes daily reports on our dogs' activities and also takes care of your mail/plants/others as needed. In addition, our dogs love seeing Tim whenever he walks into the apartment -- this gives us a tremendous peace of mind when we have to leave them home. We highly recommend Tim for pet-sitting services.

Timothy Smith is the owner of Summit Pet Sitting. He has been walking our Lhasa Apso "Lexi " three mornings a week for nearly three years. During that stretch he has never missed an appointment. On the rare occasion he can't make it he finds a substitute walker so our service is uninterrupted. You cannot find reliability like that anywhere! Besides his dependability, Timothy is very trustworthy. He has had a key to our home for the duration of the relationship. He can be counted on to let himself into the house, leash & walk our dog, responsibly dispose of the poop, fill the food & water dishes, and lock the door on the way out. In the beginning Tim made sure the dog was comfortable with him. It didn't take long for Lexi to warm up to him and now she looks forward to seeing him! Timothy also will administer medications to Lexi whenever necessary such as the time she had an ear infection and needed ointment applied. He also reports anything unusual like the time Lexi had a urinary tract infection. He noticed blood in her urine and texted a picture to me right away so we could bring her to the vet ASAP. We also board our dog with Tim whenever we travel. He will bring Lexi to his house and care for her like she is his own pet. In addition to his top notch service, Timothy is very reasonably priced. He provides excellent value but most importantly he puts our minds at ease knowing Lexi is in safe hands. He also seamlessly handled a few instances where we had a second dog at our house and treated that dog exactly the same as Lexi at no additional cost. I highly recommend Summit Pet Sitting for all your pet needs!

Tim is awesome. We have 3 hounds, Cora, Mojo and Bennie. They loved being cared by him. He sends pictures and truly cares about his guests. We have used him twice and were extremely satisfied. When we mention his name the tails begin to wag profusely. My wife and I get jealous. Highly recommend this company. Safe, reliable, dependable and affordable pet care.

Summit Pet Sitting is the best. Tim gets my dog. She is an older dog and can get stubborn and cranky. Tim still gets her to walk and play and makes sure she is cared for and safe. He also gives her her medications and never charges extra fees like the kennels do. I could not recommend him more highly. I can go on vacation with total peace of mind.

Tim has always been great with our dogs, and you can tell from the very first encounter that he is an animal person through and through. We always know that boarding with him is their home away from home, and can’t recommend his services enough!

Dealing with Tim is fantastic! Tim took care of our lab "Sarge" for a few days while we were on vacation and we didn't worry once about his care. We would receive daily updates and picture/videos of him hanging out and during playtime. It was a great experience dealing with Summit Pet Sitting.

We have a 3 year old Boxer mix named Koda who is a rescue. She is incredibly wary and fearful of strangers and loudly announces her feelings. We are trying to work on this with her but we still have a ways to go! We recently got married and on that weekend, lost our trusted dog sitter as they were also at the wedding. We got a recommendation from a good friend of ours who is also a local town’s Animal Control Officer. We highly value her opinion as she is working with dogs like Koda daily and if she vouches for someone, it’s for a reason. We spoke with Tim and right away knew that we liked him, but he wanted to be sure that KODA would like HIM. We set up a meeting and Tim came over for an hour to introduce himself to Koda and see how things went. She was initially wary, as she always is, but Tim’s warm nature and experience with difficult dogs showed immediately as Koda very quickly warmed up to him. His knowledge of dog behavior and confidence with reactive dogs made the whole meeting process go smoothly and we were ready to proceed. Tim was willing to watch Koda in his home as we felt like that would be the best option for her. He set up another meeting with us to make sure that that Koda would be receptive to staying at his house and would get along with his dog Rose. Upon arrival at his house, Koda immediately recognized him and leapt in his lap, licking his face! The weekend he watched her went off without a hitch and Tim sent update messages and pictures to keep our mind at ease. All in all, we HIGHLY recommend Tim to anyone needing a dog sitter, be it for a super friendly dog or for one with special requirements like ours. We are incredibly thankful to have found Tim and are thrilled to have found our new dog sitter for the future!

Mr. Smith is a great person to do business with. I have passed him some of my clients. He answers calls, keeps in touch and most importantly...loves your animals as much as you do. He truly goes above and beyond what your needs are. Great work sir I will be sending you more clients soon.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this business. I live full time in my motorhome, and frequently stay at a campground in Sturbridge. I mostly stay here due to it's proximity to Boston for medical appointments. The staff at Paw Plaza is unfailingly kind to both me and my two dogs! I usually use Paw Plaza for boarding, which includes day care, which is an awesome benefit. I have multiple times had to extend my boarding times, even on the day that I was supposed to pick my dogs up, and the staff has been understanding and kind about the extensions. I NEVER get any kind of attitude from them whatsoever, even though I'm kind of a pain in the a$$ sometimes :-) Also, they do everything the way that it's supposed to be done. All the i's are dotted and the T's crossed. All of the staff is completely onboard, and you can ask any of them any question, and they can answer it. Their internal communication is outstanding. Living like I do, I have seen boarding establishments all across the country. Paw Plaza is the best that I've come across. I

My 11 month old Labrador loves it there. And the staff are so nice. She comes home and just falls asleep. It's wonderful.😂 …

My 2yr old yellow lab loves this place. He can't wait to get out of the car & go play. He starts dancing in the backseat when we are getting close. I love that they post photos during the day on FB of the dogs.

Paw plaza was able to schedule a last minute reservation. Doc had a great week.

My dog absolutely loves Paw Plaza! She goes for grooming and daycare some days. As soon as she sees the building she gets super excited. I reccomend Paw Plaza to everyone I know with dogs.

We were staying down the road at a RV park and needed a doggie play day and overnight for our two dogs. Everyone I interacted with gave me comfort and confidence that my pets would be well cared for. I was very pleased and will use this business again when in the area.

Paw Plaza is simply a wonderful place to bring your dogs to! The staff at Paw Plaza are all Personable, Utmost Professional, Compassionate and Very Dedicated in their fields of expertise in making sure that every dog that enters through their doors are taken care of 100% with loving care♡ I'm a very Thankful and Grateful customer today!♡:)*

Our pup Maya LOVES this place. We’ve abbreviated paw plaza to the PP otherwise she thinks she going. They take good care of her and we love seeing pictures posted of her on the Facebook page. You can tell the dogs are happy and they help reinforce her training. She knows now that before pick up she walks to the door, sits and patiently waits before they let her out Love this place!

Paw Plaza has been such a find for our pup. He's a very anxious little guy and the first day he went, Hadley, the owner, spent the whole 4 hours he was there with him making him comfortable. We've been going back ever since for daycare & boarding. I can't say enough good things about them! They have helped our dog become a more confident, happy guy!

My dog has a regular schedule for daycare at Paw Plaza and also boards. He’s stayed overnight three times now. He loves it all. It’s easy to tell that he’s having a ball because he never hesitates to go. He’s very enthusiastic and excited to get in the car when he knows he’s off to Paw Plaza. The entire staff is welcoming and inviting and they take the best care of my dog. They know him, they know his habits, they know what he likes and dislikes and are always accommodating. I have no worries or anxiety when he’s there which says a lot because I love my little French Bulldog more than anything.

Buxters recently took care of our two kitties (Pumpkin and Lola). Auntie Jay was amazing!!!! She followed all care instructions and even spent extra time with them each day to play. She also sent updates and photos every day. We can’t wait to use her again in the future.

Five stars for Buxter's Paw on all counts! Aunty Jay visited the house ahead of time and was totally prepared and professional with all plans and paperwork. Shy cat walked right up and made friends. While I was away, she sent daily pix and updates. She had both cats (who usually would be under the bed) out and interacting -- miraculous! When I returned, kitties were happy, and everything was neat as a pin. Aunty Jay even washed the food bowls for me, which was above and beyond. Excellent communication about the schedule. Most important: animals trust her. I recommend without reservation!

We couldn't be happier with Buxter's pet sitting service! Aunti J was absolutely amazing with our African Grey parrot, providing exceptional care and attention. Aunti J made us feel completely reassured and safe while we were traveling, knowing our feathered friend was in the best hands. We highly recommend her service and will definitely be using it again in the future!

I had an exceptional experience with Auntie Jay’s pet sitting service, especially with her expertise in birds. My ring neck parakeet, Kia, had a delightful time and even learned to say ‘peekaboo’ within two weeks! Auntie Jay’s patience and attentive care, including daily photo updates, made me feel like Kia was treated as part of her family. I am immensely grateful and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend her services to other pet owners!

Great work with my 2 dogs She when above n beyond for their care. She not only took care of them she also followed up with me to check of them n kept an open communication with me and help me with some off the allergies that I was dealing with them. N I made the change it n now there are find Luv her services

I feel so lucky to have found Aunty Jay pet sitting services, I felt at ease having my baby stay with her while I was away overseas, she took care of my pet just like if she was his owner! I’m very thankful for the great care she provided to my pet, She’s very caring, sweet and very knowledgeable ! She’s amazing ! I recommend her 100% ! ❤️

Aunty Jay is a delight to work with. My cats adore her. She gives me peace of mind whenever I'm out of town. Highly recommend. Very trustworthy.

I have been using her services now for several years. And in my 40 years of pet ownership I have never found anyone more trustworthy or reliable. She has watched my pets for weeks on end, at my home or at hers. She has been their walker. She has taken them to vet appointments. She was even there with me when one of them passed. I could not recommend her more highly.

Aunty Jay did a great job taking care of my free roam rabbit. She was extremely professional checking in on my rabbit while I was away and making sure I knew my pet was cared for! Highly recommend to pet parents who are looking for a pet sitter that will love their pet as their own!

Outstanding experience, easy communication, extremely professional, complete peace of mind while we were away. Would highly recommend Aunty Jay to anyone, she is fantastic!

I have a rescue dog and was advised never to board him, so when my whole family had to travel for a family event, I was a bit panicked. Then I found Woof & Whiskers. Pamela and her team are skilled with animals, their accommodations are clean and comfortable for the pups (and they’re making additions too), the play area is spacious, and overall, it’s a great place with positive energy! We were able to visit before we booked, which was great, and pick up was smooth and easy. Their base boarding fee is reasonable and you can add on services like daycare, walks, grooming, etc…for an additional charge. Overall, it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to bring my dog here again. Thanks Woof & Whiskers Team!

Absolutely amazing. We had taken our little Nino to Petco for grooming which was a disaster. He came back with his coat all uneven and smelling foul. We decided to try Woof and Whiskers and were so happy with the wonderful job they did! Jaqui is so professional and knowledgeable. We couldn’t be happier with how handsome our baby boy looks! Model material!

Excellent care of our pup Ruby. Great grooming and boarding services. Have used them 3 times now and never been disappointed and always come back to a happy pup! Will definitely use them again!

Took a friend to drop off her two pets(dog&cat)to be cared for while she was having surgery it turned out being longer than expected. She was pleased with the care and prices were bad compared to other local places.

We love woof and whiskers inn they are so accommodating!! The owner is so passionate about animals and I love that ! We boarded our dog ace here. It was the first time he’s ever been boarded . The owner took such good care of ace ace he has so issues and she was so accommodating to them. Ace came home a happy boy! She even sent him over to her grooming side for us for pick up and didn’t charge us for another day . I would absolutely recommend this place for your fur baby . :)

I am the founder of Big Hair Animal Rescue and I have been using Jacqui for years. She's an amazing groomer and great with our often challenging dogs. Highly recommend her!

We boarded our AmStaff Maverick at Woof and Whisker Inn for 6 nights. We couldn't have been happier, family owned/run. You can tell they genuinely care about and get to know your pet compared to the more commercial chains. Rates were very reasonable, highly recommended.

We boarded our cat Layla for a week. They took wonderful care of her. I was a little nervous but the sent me pictures of her and would text me with updates and answers to and questions.

My dogs are always happy to see me after work trips but they always have fun with the staff and other dogs during boarding. Decent price, nice, clean facility, great staff. They love animals. You can trust them to take good care of your fur baby.

We have used Wood and Whiskers for over 10 years for both boarding and grooming. They are a wonderful family owned business. We have always felt comfortable bringing our 2 Great Danes and Schnauzer here. Even though we could have brought our dogs to a closer facility, we thought the drive was worth it. We have always had great service.

Fantastic place for overnight boarding! I just moved to the area and prefer a boarding/daycare location over burdening someone to take care of my high maintenance Frenchman. I love how I can completely customize his stay with playtime/snacks/webcam options etc. Being able to peek in on him in his suite while I’m away helps relieve my anxiety so much as well. Everyone on the team there is so kind during every interaction and on the phone. I’ve taken my little guy to large boarding locations like this where I used to live and this experience is much better in terms of not overcrowding and the ratio of team members to pets. You don’t need to worry about your pet being ignored or missing a meal, they are on top of it! My guy loves it here and we will for sure be returning in the future!

My boyfriend and I boarded our dogs here for five nights and it was not a good experience. Firstly, we boarded them around Labor Day Weekend. Which limited us on kennel selection (It happens). However, we wanted our dogs together for comfort purposes. While the sizes are listed, the rooms appear to be smaller than expected. They also removed one of the beds from the room. Luckily, my boyfriend thought to bring a pillow that one of our dogs sleeps on. Otherwise, this small room would have had two dogs and one bed. No one from the facility informed us of this until I called inquiring about the second bed (We paid for the webcam services). They remove the second bed to give the dogs more space. If you are having to remove a bed, you probably shouldn’t have two dogs sharing a room. Note* this space was for a Husky 53 pounds and an Australian Shepherd 42 pounds. One of our dogs does not always play well with others. So, we selected family play time in their al a carte services. I called and stated our other dog can do regular play time along with family play time. They didn’t listen to instructions and just applied one piece of information to both dogs. There was diarrhea in our dogs room on two separate occasions. I had to call the facility both times to bring this to their attention. Took about a half hour for them to clean the room. Also, because they didn’t know which dog it came from, it limited their overall play time. Our dogs are very active and I don't think they took them out consistently for family or group play time. One of our dogs had diarrhea for four days after coming home. Likely due to stress. They never called to let us know about any medical issues. Overall disappointed in facility services and communication. In the photos below, you can see the two separate occasions of one or even both our dogs having diarrhea. It goes from bad to worse, never got a call. You can see the in picture where the bed is moved, our Aussie is alone with the door to the patio closed. Where is our other dog and why is she left alone in a dirty room with no air flow? I doubt any human being would want to be locked and left in a room with feces all over the place. Disgusting. Paid over $500 for this luxury treatment.

These guys are the most trustworthy pet care facility that you will find. I had to go in for eye surgery, so I knew I had to find a place for my dog Nacho. He had stayed here before and it was a great place for he and I.

We are Very particular with who watches my dogs as they’re the closest thing too kids to me we have been using the barkwood even since changing ownership and have had no issues. It’s nice being able to see our babys when we are away. Thank you BWI.

My two dogs (two years old) stayed with Barkwood this past weekend while I was out of town and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. The facility is beautiful and well maintained, which immediately made us feel better about our dogs staying there. Every staff member we spoke to was kind and answered all of our questions. The webcams were so fun and allowed us to make sure our dogs were behaving and having a good time. One of our dogs refused to get in the car when after we picked them up! They had such a good time, and the pricing was so reasonable we are looking forward to using their boarding services again soon! We truly felt like our dogs were safe, well cared for, and loved!

We can't express enough how beyond satisfied we are with Barkwood Inn. We had our granddog Hunter there for 30 days. Staff is so caring, everytime i called to check in on Hunter the Staff was very pleasant and friendly answered all my questions. I love how they take daily pictures of the dogs. When we pick Hunter up he is always so clean and obedient . Their facility is crispy clean and top notch. We highly recommend Barkwood Inn. GIve them a try you won't be disappointed. Sincerely , Cheryl & John Wrona

I only went there to submit my résumé, but the location seems very clean. The employees are very friendly and the clients seem pretty happy so that's all I can say for now, but if I have anything to add, and I certainly will. thanks for talking to me, Barkwood!!

Thank you, Barkwood Inn, for another great stay for my dog Dottie. If it’s a short stay or a bit longer I trust that my pup is safe, well cared for and enjoys her time romping with the other dogs. Thank you to everyone at BWI for taking such good care of my pup, I’m grateful to have an excellent home away from home to count on when away. You are the absolute BEST❣️❣️❣️

Very friendly staff. Puts you at ezz leaving your buddy behind

Very caring and professional staff, they made our dogs feel comfortable during their stay and provided them with the attention they needed. I'm glad we now have a trusted place to bring our dogs!

I have an elderly dog and I bring her here to get groomed. She is treated so great AND the price is right! Plus they will call you if earlier appointments open up! I highly recommend.

Gives my dog a full shave for me. Look how handsome! Great groomers and they do boarding

My family loves it here . Justice, our yorkie, always gets treated with love & kindness and when our other dog Liberty passed away we received a sweet card with messages from all of the staff. Can't say enough good things about this place

Have been bringing my male & female Old English Sheepdogs here since they were pups! Awesome groomers! They do a great job! We had Erica for years who sadly moved on but the new groomer was just as amazing!

Great place! They were polite, clean place. They take care of your animals. Will be using this place again.

Alof of miscommunication. Overcharged me .glad I called it . I was late 23 minutes due to traffic and charged an additional half day . Another mistake was made charging me additional money . Watch your bills and money. Not efficient. My dog also got charged $12 for adding fish oil to her kibble .

I have been boarding my dog at Precious Furs for about 5 years. They are the best. I am very happy with the care Trapper receives. I would absolutely recommend Precious Furs.

We have 9-year old rescue dog who is high strong, anxious and doesn't like to be touched. He has stayed at Precious Fur a few times over the last year and he seems to be doing better each time he stays. We always utilize the grooming services and he always looked nice and fresh. The prices are fair and it's always very clean inside. We recommend them all the time.

Our first experience boarding our diabetic cat went so well! She even gained weight while we were gone! Staff was so professional in answering our questions and caring for our cat. We will definitely use their services again.

We have been taking our dog (Buster) to Lynn for about 10 years now. Buster is blind and this causes him to be very anxious. Lynn and all of the staff at the kennel know how to handle his behaviors and we never worry when we leave him there. We drive about 40 minutes just to bring him to Precious Furs because we trust they are able to manage him when we are away. Buster participates in 1:1 playtime with a staff member while he is boarded and we really appreciate this added service. They also administer his eyedrops and this is not always an easy task.

Highly recommend! Our pet sitter canceled on us last minute and we found Lovely Pups online. They were very friendly and happy to help us out. Our dog had a great time!

Literally saved my elderly pups life by training him to allow me to give insulin injections after his diabetes diagnosis! V is the best, kindest, smartest person you will ever meet! Trustworthy, reliable and responsive! Lovely pups is the best!

My sweet little Chester loves spending his days at Lovely Pups when I go off to work. I know I’m leaving him in good hands. Lovely pups treats your dog like their own and I highly recommend their services to all dog owners!

Veronica cares for our dog Marvel just like it is her own. She has a great house and yard for Marvel, not just a little cage. We have had to call Veronica at the last minute several times and she has always accommodated us.

Best sitter around. Came to my house and picked up my pup in a pinch! I could tell Miss Molly had a great time in her care. Will definitely call back next time i need a sitter!

My pup came home happy and exhausted after her first day of play here! Business strikes the right balance between extremely professional and accommodating and friendly. So excited to have found this gem of a day play option!!

V is a dog whisperer! Very in-tuned to doggy behavior and seems to know exactly how to get dogs to get along & behave. It's great working with someone who is a true lover of dogs. Highly recommend!

My dog loves going here. They take such good care of her! They’ve always been flexible with my schedule and so kind. Highly recommend.

Victoria is a phenomenal caretaker and my dog is always excited to stay the day! With fair prices and quality service, this is our favorite place to bring our pets.

Fantastic people. And place .very well run .i was comfortable from the day I went there .the dogs roam around just like at home ..they care about dogs .definitely recommend. And I will go back .thank you Jake
