Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
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.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $10/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We love Tawnia & family! Our pup goes to doggy daycare at least 2 days a week and is always SO excited to be there in the morning! She gets to socialize and run and play to her heart's content and we love that she's not as wound up in the evenings!
Kinley has been boarding/daycare with Tawnia at Happy Hound Hotel for a few yrs and it is definitely dog approved/owner approved. Kinley is always excited to spend time at Happy Hound Hotel, especially when water is involved 😉. Tawnia is so attentive to each individual dog and their needs. They each have their own kennel to stay in but a HUGE FENCED yard they can run around in but only when being supervised. They aren't left in the yard alone. She is very careful when accepting dogs to make sure there are no aggressive dogs. SO happy Tawnia opened Happy Hound Hotel because it is such a great fit for Kinley. The best part is she is a small business. Thank-you Tawnia for everything you do and for taking such great care of our Kinley! See you in June! 💚
We have been taking our senior dog to Happy Hound for over a year now. I’m so grateful to have found a kennel that my dog enjoys. They let her socialize with similarly mannered dogs so she gets exercise and stimulation but doesn’t over exert herself as a 14 yr old pup. This last time she got a nail trim and bath so when I picked her up she looked and smelled great. I also love that this is a family owned and operated business. I know I can trust them.
My ultra anxious fur baby Black Widow absolutely loves coming here! I am so thankful to have found a place as amazing as Happy Hound Hotel ❤️ So many many thanks for taking such good care of my baby!
Tawnia is great with my fur child Chase. He loves going here and socializing. safe with lotsa exercise and reasonable cost. Tawnia sends me texts with photos of Chase playing while im gone. It’s very reassuring.
Tawnia is amazing and I highly recommend her! Della gets so excited when we pull up for drop offs. I know Della is safe and happy while in Tawnia's care. I also appreciate how accommodating she is with our last minute planning and crazy schedules.
I am so happy to have found Happy Hound Hotel. I don't worry a bit about leaving my dog with Tawnia, she communicates very well with me and even sends pictures of the dogs playing together.
Ginger is so excited when she goes to the happy hound, she loves all the staff and being able to play all day. They are so wonderful to her and it’s nice to know they treat her like family
We absolutely adore the Happy Hound Hotel! Tawnia went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable for his stay and sent us messages to let us know how he was doing. She even made a huge effort to deep clean and brush him out (which is a feat for a giant breed dog!) which I was very thankful for. Moose can’t wait to return for another great stay at the Happy Hound Hotel!
Tawnia is amazing! Both my Dogs run to her as soon as they are out of my car and completely ignore me. I've been with her for a few years and don't trust anyone else with my dogs. She is awesome and very caring to my furbabies. 100000% recommend Tawnia to anyone who is looking for a daycare or boarding for a few days.
Highly recommend them! My dogs are happy to get out to play when we arrive in the am & happy when I pick them up. They wear down their energy playing all day while I am at work & I know they are safe. If my dogs talked, they would call it their daytime home. My pups have boarded overnight too & it has been just as great of an experience. They took extra time with my dog that was new to daycare & now he's like one of their own.
If you're looking for the best pet sitter, doggy daycare and/or dog groomer, look no more, you have found the BEST! Caren and Justin are the best! They care for your 4 legged family member as they would care for they're own. My Alaskan Malamute is a big fan of the doggy daycare 3 or 4 days a week. She can't wait to play with all of her buddies. Then comes home happy and ready for a nap.
We had a lovely experience leaving our pup Lukla with Caren while we visited Silver Falls State Park. She gave us great directions to help find their incredibly convenient location, made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her (our first doggy day care experience) and provided fabulous service with a smile throughout our interaction. Lukla was suitably exhausted from all the play time and slept for hours as soon as she got back in the car. On top of that she was clean, fresh and soft from her grooming after a week of camping, hiking & swimming with us in the forests and lakes of the PNW. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!
I love this place!!! I have been boarding my dogs with Caron for as long as I can remember and I completely trust her with my fur baby's!! I also love that they are not in kennels all day but get to play in a huge fenced area. So no guilt leaving them when I know they are being loved and cared for. I highly recommend Caron.
I hate to write a bad review but I’ve got to share what happened to my little dog here. I want to say that this dog has never been boarded before and I picked this place for the “in home” atmosphere. First, it seemed a little funny when I dropped her off and wasn’t offered a tour (I should have insisted). I was suppose to meet the owner but she wasn’t there. She had a helper there who did seem attentive and capable so it felt ok. The owner did leave me a long message (I heard later) saying she wouldn’t be there so I felt like she had covered her bases. They did require proof of immunizations which I left with them. I had to fill out 3 pages of paperwork and it did feel legit. With that said, the home was a country home but absolutely filthy. I thought it was just a dog person thing but even my Husband said “it truly doesn’t have to be that bad.” I could look beyond the bad housekeeping, junk piled outside and weeds pulled and left all over the walkway in thinking my dog would be getting more love if she wasn’t busy mopping floors? I guess I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. My dog was there on a Tuesday at 11am and I picked her up on a Saturday at 3:30pm. My total was $215.00. When I picked my dog up she was covered in something sticky which is fine, they said it was ice cream. I had requested the dog get a bath prior to me picking her up (it was an option in a form). Clearly, the dog didn’t have a bath. The owner told me that over the weekend the dogs they had there all came down with kennel cough so I should watch for that. When we got in the car my dog seemed off. She wasn’t acting well at all. I looked at her closer only to be blown away by how awful she smelled. What I then noticed was black spots all over the dog. She was invaded and infested with large fleas. She had flea bites all over. She was miserable. It was awful. I brought her home and picked hundreds of fleas off of her and bathed her 4 times and have been working on controlling this problem. Our other dog (who was at home w/ our kids) I’m sure will be the next one w/ fleas. I’m going to have to treat my home and both dogs until this nightmare is over. I admit, I’m a bit of a clean freak so this is hard for me. I just can’t believe that I’ve sent a message to the owner with no response as of now. I spent a lot of money trying to do what I thought was best for my little pup but now I see it was not worth it. She is so sick from this. I did give them one star since my dog came home alive. I do believe I’m entitled to a refund for this nightmare I’m living.
Excellent facility. Personal attention given to animals. Great staff and clean safe areas for pets to sleep inside and run outside. They also now offer grooming, which I haven't tried for my dog, but I've heard good things.
Highly Recommend! My dog was taken care of as if he were there own. Great country location!
This is an absolutely wonderful place! The owners were great and really care about the animals! I will definitely take my pups back!!
Amazing business!!!! They are so great with animals and such kind hearted people. I definitely recommend them for any of your pet sitting needs!!!!!!
Great care is taken with my pup, and I love that it is a live - in facility. I know he is in good hands.
Easily, if somewhat bumpy, access for a wheelchair. Lovely venue. Beautifully decorated, flowers a natural backdrop. Attended both a rehearsal dinner and wedding at this venue and had an amazing time at each. Bathroom facilities might put some people off but that is the cleanest, most well tended, wheelchair accessible port a potty I've ever seen. Worked beautifully for these gatherings.
My niece's wedding couldn't have been more perfect ! The setting reflected her and her husbands country roots - and centered around family. Quaint barn, under a beautiful willamette valley treed canopy ! Everything aligned beautifully, the roses were in full bloom, the sunset danced across the stars, as the stalls were filled with music, joy and laughter in celebration of their big day. It's a must see.
This is such a great location for an outdoor wedding! There are so many cute details and awesome amenities available with your package. Not to mention the owner is wonderful! He is very easy to work with and happy to help you get exactly what you want out of your experience! Highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is great the parking is plenty. The host was helpful and helped set up and take everything down.
I attended a wedding here and it was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend checking out RidgeStables LLC before choosing the venue for your next event!
Brian is amazing to work with!!!! He made sure that I had everything I needed! This is a beautiful venue with lots of parking and natural beauty! I highly highly recommend this venue!!!!
Penelope Pawprints was a wonderful vacation home for our Cat! My girlfriend and I left out Cat for about 2 weeks with Penny and our Cat had a wonderful time being social and enjoying the out door time. Pick up and drop off were made very simple by Penny and she is wonderful with communication willing to answer any questions you may have. We will definitly be coming back to Penelope Pawprints in the future!
Have used Penny's services for year's. She loves animals and has devoted herself to their care and well being. Ues her multiple times per year and would highly recommend her to everyone. We have 5 cats and they all love her.
Penny has come to my home and watched my two senior kitties with great care! It is such a relief to be able to leave them in their own home and know all their needs including special feeding and medications are being handled. On our return from trips, they didn’t even act like we had been gone! If you have cats you want to leave in their own home, call Penny!
I trust Penny 100% with my cats Beau and Lily. She has taken care of them more than once in my home, sometimes for 2-3 weeks. When I return from travels, my cats are relaxed and happy and I know she has taken excellent care of them She is loving, responsible, honest and is a lifetime animal lover. She's the best.
We had a great experience at Pennys! She was very caring toward our cat and has a nice facility. She is professional, communicates well and was flexible with scheduling. We will definitely use her services again!
Penny has taken care of my animals, large and small, on numerous occasions for many years. She is conscientious, punctual, and cares deeply about each and every creature. She alerts me if even the smallest detail seems not right. I trust her implicitly. I am so lucky to have her as my animal sitter, and don’t know what I would do without her!
Penny is absolutely more than amazing. The care she gives each and every animal, the obvious love she shares with all of them. I will always trust her with any of my animals. Our community is blessed to have her.
We took our two lil buddies to Penny’s and they had the time of their life! When ever we bring out our cats’ pet carriers they don’t freak out because they know they are going to paradise :) they always return perfectly brushed, exercised, and loved. If your looking for a place for your cats to stay this is the one for you! This isn’t the first time our cats have visited the cat cottage and it won’t be the last!
We are so fortunate to have Penny to care for our cats. We have a diabetic cat that is semi-feral and she is the only person that is able to care for her and give her the shots she needs. Without Penny's skilled handling of our cats we would not be able to vacation
This was by far the absolute best experience I have ever had boarding my cat while I was away for vacation. my sweet Cotton was taken care of, I even got pictures text to me of my baby while I was away! Penny is such a sweet lady, you will absolutely have peace of mind boarding your animals here!
Great place to leave your pets!! She is very good with the animals and has a lot of pets!!!
I am super happy with the care my dogs received while at the purple pet lady! My corgi Tubby is my service dog and gets very bad anxiety when he’s away from my side! She was so caring and understanding with him, she even sent me pictures of him and updates on how he was doing! I definitely recommend this facility! If I’m ever in Silverton again I know where I’ll be leaving my fur children 🖤🖤 and the cost was extremely reasonable!!
Janay is the best, she is extremely loving and will treat your pet as her family member. I highly recommend her services to everyone! She’s helped us during some challenging times with caring for our dogs.
Very nice pet sitter who is extremely reasonable. She seems to care for the dogs and has a few of her own. We have seen your dogs and she met their special needs. Often has quite a few dogs so make sure that your dogs are social. No frills but does the job.
She and her partner were super nice people who are great with animals. I had them watch my dogs while I went to a wedding and they were very accommodating with timing and my dogs' needs. I'd highly recommend this business.
I am so grateful I found Janay, she is like having a second mom to my animals. My dog LOVES going to her house for daycare and boarding.
Genuinely terrible experience. My mother went in with our dog (husky) on Saturday and had a great experience. He went through his boarding like a breeze and it took only 15 min for them to tell her yes! Looked like a great experience and she loved the place. Sounded like reservations were made and everything. Fast forward to today, I am the son and I was not there for the boarding. This blonde lady at the counter started asking me questions like as if we are going through another boarding. I did not know the answers because I wasn't the dogs primary care taker. She said there was no reservation, he has no records that he had been there and asked me if I knew if I was at the right place. She said "I don't feel comfortable taking him not knowing this information". All it took was a call to my mom... I felt completely judged based off of the experience and she asked me if I had anywhere else to take him... And no I did not. I have a cruise that I've spent thousands of dollars on and this is what's going to hold me up from going! Additionally, don't require someone to make your dog take a shot when you don't already have a booking available. We've spent too much money just for him to get boarded here with unnecessary shots that nobody else needed. Don't ever treat a customer like this again!
I left my dog for four days at the dog bark. I was very nervous about leaving her, not knowing how she would do. But with the cameras, I was able to check on her several times a day and saw she was doing fine. The staff are great with all the interaction and care they give to the dogs, they do an amazing job. I will definitely be using them again. Now I think my dog will be bored after seeing all they do lol. I will definitely take her once in a while for the interaction and socialization. I would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby.
Our dogs love to visit The Dog Bark! Thanks for always taking such great care of our furry family members and making us feel welcome and at home whenever we drop by.
Last month we needed to visit our family in the Midwest for a couple of weeks. We chose The Dog Bark for our older dog Dulci to stay at because we wanted him to enjoy playing with other dogs so he didn’t worry about us not being around as much and so he had a good experience while we were away. Our dog has a lot of anxiety, and while he’s great with other dogs he can be moody with people. The staff at The Dog Bark did an amazing job working with him, accepting him and providing him with a great experience! I loved the doggy cams; when we were waiting for our flights we would log into what we called “Dulci TV”and it was great to be able to see our dog and see he was having a great time! I loved the friendliness of the staff and that they allowed me to bring him specialized meals and supplements. I was very happy when they emailed me when we were gone to let me know Dulci was doing well. The staff also worked hard to try to find a kennel for Dulci to stay in every night as I was worried about him not doing well in a crate as he is not crate trained. Overall, I highly recommend The Dog Bark to anyone, especially if your dog has anxiety, your dog will be in great hands!!
The Dog Bark was recommended to us by our local dog park community. We left our 8 month old husky girl for 8 days while we attended a wedding in O’ahu. This was the first time we have ever used a dog boarding service and the first time I have left my dog. I am a stay at home mom so I am with her 24/7. I loved that I could watch her from the cameras, I even called in to check up on her and the staff was very kind and let me know how she was doing. We go on several out of state trips and will be coming back to The Dog Bark. The only cons were that we missed out fur baby. ☺️
This facility is clean and has enthusiastic and helpful employees. You need to book far enough ahead of time to get a dog evaluation and a short daycare stay too see if your dogs are friendly.
My pup LOVES it here and so do we. We were having issues at home because we can't entertain our hyper girl 24 hours a day and she has so much energy that needs to get out. So Dog Bark is the perfect solution with very reasonable prices. Our girl gets so much play time with her friends she is exhausted and happy when she gets home. She is much more behaved even on days she doesn't go. I also love their cameras. We can check in on her and see her at anytime. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Edit: We have been part of the Dog Bark family for over a year now. Shannon and her team and just simply amazing. My girl is well taken care of and there is NEVER a worry in my mind when she is there.
I started bringing my dog here around may of ‘23. I really wanted to like this place as I need someone I can trust to take my pet. I brought my pet there many times but would look at the camera and there would be SO many dogs that they could hardly move around. My first thought was “oh those poor workers” and my 2nd was “what if a dog fight broke out”. This place doesn’t seem to cap the number of dogs they accept. My dog came home stressed and vocalizing when I saw her. Each time we went back she cried. We stopped going about a year ago and have found a daycare that has smaller sizes and more interactive play. They also don’t “punish” my dog with water if she jumps. There are many other places in Salem.
It has been a year now since my dogs have come here. Owner and staffs have provided fantastic care for my dogs whether it’s for daycare or boarding. We even boarded our dogs for 2 weeks straight once with no worries and came home to tired but satisfyingly happy dogs. Everytime I drop my husky off for daycare in the mornings he cannot wait to get inside and play. Everyone here is easy to work with, customer and dog friendly. I would recommend this facility for anyone who loves their pets and need someone to care for them when they are at work or away.
Love to take my dogs here. Staff is so nice and knows them as soon as we walk in. My pup with separation anxiety makes a big fuss whenever I drop him off but when I watch the stream I can see he's having fun. Much better than leaving him alone at home wondering if he's okay
