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.

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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, $20/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!
My two guinea pigs stayed with Crystal for 10 days while I was away on vacation. I like that she has everything they need so all I have to bring to her are the piggies and their pellets. She also suggested bringing a personal item from home and I appreciated that recommendation and accommodation. One of my piggies has to take medication twice a day and Crystal was able to administer that with no issue. I like that Crystal has a lot of guinea pig experience so I could trust that my piggies were in great hands, that she would be able to identify any possible concerns, and that she would be able to handle any issues in a timely and professional manner. Crystal sent both photo and written updates to me so I could see that my piggies were happy, healthy, and safe while I was away. I recommend Crystal's Pet Services for guinea pig boarding and I look forward to booking my piggies with her for my next vacation.
Crystal was amazing and took such great care of my two guinea pigs while our family was away. Crystal treated our piggies like they were our own. She sent us pictures throughout our trip and gave me update on how they were doing so my kids could relax knowing their pets were well taken care of. I will absolutely send my guinea pigs to stay with Crystal on our next vacation.
Since I travel alot I wanted to make sure my bunnies had a safe and comfortable place to stay once I was gone. And Crystal made sure of that! She has bunny sat for my twice now, one was even a month long. She is great with communication and was sending pictures and updates once in a while. While my bins are with her, I have no doubt that they are getting the best care possible. Giving each of them attention with head scratches and quality time. Definitely recommended her and will be going back when I need to leave again!!
we boarded our two bunnies with crystal over a long weekend. we were super nervous because we had never boarded them before. crystal was great! she send me pictures every day, cleaned their scent glands & trimmed their nails! they didnt even come home mad (theyre always mad about something). we will defs be boarding with crystal again!!
Crystal is one of the top caregivers for bunnies. I left my 10-year-old bunny with her for 2 weeks. During our trip, Crystal sent multiple photos and updates of our bun, and we felt confident in her care. I can definitely say that we will come back to her.
Crystal looked after our little bunny Kacey while we were across Canada for my son's wedding. It was our first time leaving her and Crystal was so understanding and reassured us that we didn't need to worry. We also used Crystal for a weekend away after bonding Kacey with little Murphy. We were able to completely relax knowing the two of them were in excellent hands. Crystal was kind enough to send updates to us on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Crystal for pet care. We will certainly be passing her name on to friends and we will be using her services for our future trips. Thanks so much Crystal!!!
I highly recommend crystal! She took care of our bunny, Dante, the same way we would have. She is auch a pleasant person to talk to and the space where she has all the animals is beautiful, clean and well taken care for. Thanks Crystal, you'll for sure see us again!
We just boarded our two bunnies with Crystal over the weekend and the experience was awesome! It was our first time leaving our bunnies with anyone and Crystal was so knowledgeable and had an awesome set up for them it totally put our minds at ease. Our bunnies had a great time and adjusted very quickly. We are so thankful we found Crystal and will definitely be using her services again.
I am so blessed to find Crystal and her loving care for small animals! We left our 7 year old guinea pig Gilley with Crystal for 13 days when we went on vacation and this is the first time we have ever left him with anyone. I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her! She is very kind and knowledgeable. His cage was all set up with his own name tag and she provided everything for him ..food and hay and her wonderful care. I really appreciated how she sent us updates and pictures of how he was doing. That really made my day! Her rates are incredible for what she provides. I am so happy to have found Crystal and her pet services. Will definitely bring my guinea pig there whenever we're away...thank you Crystal!
Crystal is Kind, knowledgable about animals and trustworthy. Our Holland Lop stayed with Crystal for 13 days. Typically when we go away our rabbit gets a little ornery for the first week back home, but when he returned home after his stay at Crystal’s he was calm and well adjusted. During our trip, Crystal sent multiple photos and updates of our Bun and we felt confident in her care. We would trust her again with our Bun.
Absolutely wonderful. Awesome team there, and the fur kids are well taken care of and lots of exercise throughout the day. This visit to the doggie spa one of our pup's had a little seperation anxiety attack, the team at Green Acres let us know, and what they did to ease the condition and sent pictures throughout the week and keep us updated on this, the other pup we had there was living her best life with everyone.£l Thank you to everyone one there, and it is the only place we trust with our fur kids. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Carl and Peggy Sue were looked after and treated like royalty. Many thanks again. Skal Magnus.
One of those rare businesses where I wish I could give a 10/5 review. I have been taking my furball to Green Acres for about 3 years now whenever I am out of town. I have a wolf so she is not the kind of dog you can just take anywhere. The dog handlers have to really know dogs well to be able to gain her trust. I have taken Tiva for lengths of time up to 4 months this last trip. Every single time they treat her like family. This time I returned home and was in the 2 week quarantine and I talked to Kathy to update her and Kathy actually offered to drive Tiva form Abbotsford to Burnaby for me since I could not leave my place...FOR FREE. That blew my mind. They are such an incredible crew at Green Acres and its immediately evident that this is one of those rare companies run with a passion for what they love not simply as an avenue to make money. Thank you Kathy and your team for what you do. If you have not taken your dog here then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do....If you have taken your furchild there then you know exactly what I mean. Keep up the great work guys.
We have used Green Acres countless times and it's about time I gave them the review they deserve. Our dogs have always come back in happy shape but the best part is that they always find ways to schedule our dogs in, even last minute. We'll always use Green Acres, no question
Great facility and wonderful interactive staff. They really do care! Sometimes it’s hard to get through on the phone, but that’s because they’re interacting with the dogs and can’t hear the phone ring always, but the owner gave me her personal number as well so they were always reachable. They are also very good at calling back and will go the extra mile to send videos and pictures. I’m also pretty positive they bathed my big dig after he got dirty from play time, talk about going the extra mile.
Green Acres is amazing. They take away my anxiety of dropping off my anxious dog. Oliver could barely wait for his leash to come off to go visit with his furry friends. Janelle and Mackenzie and Kathy are great. Thanks Ladies!!
This place was good for the week that we were out of town but I would not bring my dog back. This was our first time coming here, we were told that we'd get an update about our dog but didn't get one until the night before we picked her up. We told them that our dog likes to play rough which we were told was no problem but upon picking her up they told us that they didn't let her play with other dogs the entire time she was there, just meeting other dogs through the fence which is not what we had discussed. As well when we picked her up there was a big cut on her nose and no one knew how or when it happened, it has since turned into a big scar.
This was my first time experiencing a kennel. My Groot stayed here for two weeks, he had the most excellent care. I highly recommend Kathy and her team. Thank you so much for caring for our sweet boy.
I brought my Doberman here for one week stay and he had preexisting cut in between his toes that became infected on the second day of visit. I was sent videos and pictures and updated everyday as to what care they were giving him. They soaked his foot daily and cleaned it and had their own vet administer pain medicine and antibiotics. They were extremely concerned and attentive and when I picked him up and brought him to my vet she told me that the care given was excellent and that his foot was healing nicely as a result. I’m very impressed with the service considering the situation required so much extra work on their part. Speaking with Kathy and Jody throughout the process it is very obvious they are dog people and care about them like they are their own. Thank you. I appreciate what you did for Zeus and will see you again sometime in the future.
My dog loves the ladies at Green Acres. Ample room for all sizes of dogs and clean. Cathy and Olivia are very loving and my dog was happy when I went to pick him up. They took care of his special diet and meds with no hesitation. Of course he came home dirty but that was because it was wet spring and he was outside playing with all his fur buddies.
My big boy loves it here. He has dog friends to play with and the staff are amazing. He is always excited to go to Green Acres. I know he is in good hands while I am away.
Kim is amazing! She absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She is super flexible and always willing to work around our schedules as much as possible. She goes out of her way to make for the best experience possible for her clients and their animals. Our dog has been going to Kim’s for about 7 months and loves it every time. She feels right at home in Kim’s house and is well cared for and loved. We can’t recommend Kim enough!
Kim is a trustworthy person. She loves taking care of dogs and when our family go on a vacation trip we all know that our pet Rico is in good hands with her. We highly recommend Kim!
Kim is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us in caring for our two dogs. Our youngest had a UTI and bladder stones while we were away. Kim drove her to the vet and took care of her for us. She also sends updates, videos and pictures of our dogs.
I was fortunate to find Kim at Pet Pleasers in early 2020. I have a little Boston Terrier named Ariel that is always with me. When I had to leave for a location that I could not bring her, I considered cancelling my trip. Since Kim had gone to my school years ago and I knew who she was, I contacted her and had a few discussions over FB and eventually went to her house to check it out. She has such a dog friendly home. A safe fenced back yard, double gated front entrance and she treats the dogs just like her own. I was very impressed that she also wanted to have Ariel spend a few hours at her house to make sure she got along with everyone and that she wouldn’t pose problems for other dogs. That’s so important to me that she doesn’t simply accept any dog. She makes sure that she reduces the chance of problems that can occur due to animals that may be too aggressive or cause problems for other animals. She truly does everything she can to provide a safe and fun environment for every animal she cares for. I left Ariel for a few hours to see how she did and she did great, playing with other dogs and running around freely. After that I left her for a week and was pleasantly surprised to get the occasional picture and video from Kim showing me how Ariel was doing. Although I bring Ariel’s crate along, Ariel has free roam of the house and yard all day long and most of the time she jumps on Kim’s bed at night and sleeps on the bed…just as she does at home. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Pet Pleasers. I no longer have to worry about Ariel being constantly locked in a cage, or deal with the scams that so many other kennels have where they want to charge you $5 for a daily hug, or $10 for 5 minutes of one-on-one time, etc. Kim is open and honest and provides a friendly, loving home-like environment for the dogs she cares for. Her pricing is very reasonable with no extra charges for paying attention to your dog. She clearly loves animals and you can be sure she will treat your dogs like her own. I will never go anywhere else and I’m so glad to have found Kim at Pet Pleasers. I may miss my dog when I have to go away but I know she’s in good hands and don’t have to worry about her. You can’t go wrong with Kim of Pet Pleasers and I believe that once you try her, you will never go anywhere else either.
Kim is amazing with our dog! We always love having Kim watch our Daisy because we know she will be able to run and play and not be stuck in a kennel all day. Communication is great and Kim is very easy to work with. Thanks Kim!
Our senior bichon, Louie gets stressed at traditional boarding kennels. Kim from Pet Pleasers treated him like part of the family. It is a relief to have someone so great with dogs taking care of him in a home setting. Will continue to book here and recommend!
Pet Pleasers is truly like sleepover camp for our doggo! Kim’s care and consideration for the animals in her care is evident from the happy barks that greet you upon arrival. There is plenty of safe space for them to roam and play, and when it’s time for rest, they have their choice of several warm and comfortable beds. We’ve never boarded our dog before we met Kim, and it’s a relief to find someone who loves him as much as we do. Pet Pleasers for the win!
Kim has been great with my great dane Jaxi! She can be a nervous Nellie and Kim understand her needs and always makes sure she is comfortable. I have left her there for longer vacations and overnight stays. Jaxi is always glad to see me come back but Kim always sends me pictures and messages while I’m gone letting me know Jaxi is having a great time. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!!
Don't like leaving our Pomeranian, Bija with anyone, but he's treated like family at Kim's place. Just like at home he's able to sleep on the bed and watch TV. By request she will send pictures and a report of how he's doing. We have total confidence that Bija gets the attention he deserves.
I am not comfortable leaving my husky just anywhere or with anyone! Kim is the only person I have ever left her with when I leave town that I feel good about. Taken care of, safe, not in a kennel or crate with small bits of "play" time. Its a healthy environment that i have no concerns for dog illness such as parvo or kennel cough. I drive 45 min to leave my girl with Kim.
Becca and her team at Furrwoods are incredible. Our dog, Bodi, is super high energy and loves to play, play, play non-stop. They always match him with other high-energy dogs and he has made some wonderful doggy-friendships over the last year and a half. He enjoys daycare so much and has been boarded there for over a week at a time and he always comes home tired, happy, and safe/healthy. Having a safe, clean, and enriching place for our dog means a ton to us. Thanks SO MUCH to Becca and staff for loving on Bodi.
Our two Boston Terriers stayed at FurrWoods for a full week and they did so well and got lots of playtime they were happy and exhausted when we got them home! The place is absolutely spotless and so clean it’s amazing! Caring professional staff as well!
We were so thankful to have found FurrWoods Kennels! We recently adopted a dog from Whatcom Humane Society. Oscar is partially blind and very reactive, as he was never socialized as a puppy. It was critical to find a kennel that was a good fit for him. We had been using another boarding facility for the past ten years and had been pretty happy with them for most of that time. Due to a detour, I happened to drive by FurrWoods and saw their sign. So, we scheduled a time to take a tour. Oscar was reactive to the owner and staff and was barking and lunging at them. They knew exactly how to greet him and put him at ease. Within minutes, he was comfortable and leaning in for ear scratches. We took Oscar out to the play yards and put him in one by himself. He immediately went to the fence and happily greeted the other pups in the adjacent yard. The play yards here are repurposed astroturf from a football field, and the surface is immaculate. The previous boarding facility has gravel yards and our previous dog would sometimes eat rocks there or be dirty from digging. There are 3 or 4 different yards so they can group dogs by size or demeanor or age to ensure everyone has a positive playtime. The kennels are also very clean! There are only 28 kennels so it is much more peaceful than at a larger facility. They provide trampoline beds and even have slow feeders if you need them, which Oscar does. They have an online reservation system which helps me keep track of my bookings. You can also sign your dog up for an activity such as individual fetch time or a walk in the woods. We have boarded Oscar at FurrWoods several times over the past few months - sometimes just overnight and for as long as two weeks. He LOVES it there!! When we arrive, he pulls me to the door and wants to go straight out to play! This speaks volumes, as Oscar normally has separation anxiety!! When I pick him up, he is clean, happy, and exhausted. Thank you thank you thank you to Rebecca and her staff for welcoming Oscar into your kennel and your hearts!!
We can’t say enough about how wonderful Furrwood is. We leave our Luc there and know that he will have a fabulous time playing with his friends and be well loved and cared for while he is there.
We scoured the entire county for the right fit for our basset hound puppy, and Furrwoods rose to the occasion. He has specific needs and Becca has accommodated every one of them without question. This is the cleanest facility that we toured. The astroturf is much better for his skin and toes (they get yeasty, but not here). When we pick him up he usually greets us then turns right around to go back in. He definitely keeps the staff on their toes and I'm very grateful for their hard work.
Such an amazing place for my dogs. Extremely clean and organized. The staff is very professional and helpful. I always feel they make my dogs needs a priority. I would highly recommend bringing your dogs here for doggy daycare or an overnight stay.
Our dog Tanto went to Furrwoods for almost two years (we have now moved out of the area) and we could not have been more comfortable and happy with the care he received! Rebecca and her staff do a great job making sure your dog is loved and having a ball. Tanto always left Furrwoods happy and exhausted from a full day of fun. Cannot recommend enough!
My dog is always so excited when we arrive at the facility and so tired when I pick him up. The staff are very personable and seem to love my dog. They usually give me a report on how he did as well. They have cameras and an indoor/outdoor play area.
I've lived in many places and have used many kennels. I've never found a boarding facility that is as great as FurrWoods! They are kind, and accommodating, and take excellent care of our dogs. I will forever use FurrWoods and recommend them to everyone.
This is the nicest kennel in the county. I truly appreciate Becca and her staff. It is so great that we can leave town knowing our dogs will be well taken care of and have fun with the other pups there.
My dogs love this place. They have big horse stalls instead of 4x6 concrete and chain link, and the dogs get regular time outside the stalls. My two always come home tired, happy, and smelling like horse farm. I've used this place for years and it will always be my first choice.
Needed a place to board both dogs while we were on vacation for a week. They were able to share a large stall enclosure which was nice since they're used to being together at home. Plenty of room for both crates, walking around, and a good sized section of sawdust. Filled, secured water dish always available. Good ventilation and natural light. Whiteboard was hanging on each stall to indicate dog's name, feeding plan, allergies, etc. Fenced outdoor area available for exercise and play during the day. Appreciated the option to add in a nail trim during their stay. When we picked them up, they were calm, happy, and clean and the stall was well kept. Would definitely recommend and use again.
This was my dog's first time here, and they came highly recommended. The dogs had a large area to stay in along with massive play areas. When I picked them up after a week long stay they were racked out. Im so grateful to Shaylee and we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for taking care of my babies!
We are so happy we found The Dog Ranch to watch our 2 very high anxiety dogs while we go on vacation. They do a wonderful job. It's so easy to make a reservation and they are always quick to reply to our questions.
Needed to find a somewhere to place my dog, Oakley, for about a week. It was something I had stressed over and even avoided trips because I figured it would really expensive to find a place. Well, we found The Dog Ranch, prices were clear, scheduled Oakley's stay, and done. I had lots of questions leading up to the drop off day and Shylee was always super helpful. Pick up was also a breeze. Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying, I wholeheartedly appreciate honest reviews for the sole purpose of informing other customers or consumers. No review is intentionally at the detriment of the business owner. We tried the dog ranch for our pup to give her exercise and interaction on long days when we are both working. Due to her smart collar which tracks her whereabouts and movement, we were able to see that she only logged 2000 steps for the entire day. We are also able to very accurately pinpoint when she was at movement and when she was at rest. It appeared that she was in a kennel for practically the entirety of the day. She was also not fed the lunch that we provided for her as it was picked up in the exact same location that It was dropped off, and it was still entirely present in the bag. When we asked the owner about our pups day, she specified that she had a good day interacting with the other pups. So we felt that her interpretation of our pups day didn’t accurately reflect what we were seeing on her collar in terms of movement and interaction. For that reason, we are opting to try another dog daycare. We did appreciate that the rate at the dog ranch is affordable, getting her set up was easy , and it’s a convenient location for county folks. Unfortunately, our needs for our dog didn’t seem to align with the practices at this daycare.
The dog ranch is a wonderful place to bring your dog! The staff is friendly and professional. I would absolutely bring my girl back again!
I love taking my lab to the Dog Ranch for boarding when I’m away. He’s been going since he was a puppy. Shylee is great with dogs and has nice facilities. Also a great rate. Easy to schedule and never any complications. Highly recommended.
Bruno has been a regular at The Dog Ranch for a year, and the experience has been outstanding. Shylee and her staff are not only professional but also genuinely caring towards Bruno. The flexibility is a lifesaver, especially for my las-minute work trips. It's comforting to know Bruno is in an environment where he's treated like family. High recommend The Dog Ranch for their top-notch care and reliability.
Shylee is great with the dogs and always responsive to texts/call on availability. The stalls are much bigger than a typical kennel, and my dog always comes home tired from getting to play all day.
My dogs love going to Kim's. We call it Kim's Summer Camp. The dogs are excited when we pull in the driveway and are happy and tired when we pick them up. She grew up in the business and is the best around.
We Love Kim's Pet Pleasers !!! I know Toby is well taken care of and having a good time when he stays at Kim's He loves going there ❤️❤️
We are so blessed to have found Sherri and her dog boarding service! Sherri is an amazing person who truly loves animals and has a great passion for what she does. My two dogs are always so happy and excited when they stay with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of. It’s such a relief to have found someone so caring and dedicated. Highly recommend Sherri to anyone looking for a loving and safe place for their pets!
I highly recommend Wolf Eden Dog Boarding! I have 2 active Weimaraners and have used Wolf Eden for both overnight boarding when we go on holidays and for regular doggy daycare when I’m at work. Sheri is such a wonderful and caring person and I 100% trust her to care for my pups. I really appreciate that she sets a cap on the number of dogs she takes in, meaning more personal care and less stress for my dogs, and that she provides pup updates throughout the day.
Absolutely amazing experience with Sheri when she watched our XL doggo for 13 days. This was our pups first experience away from us and to say it went well was an understatement. Our dog had so much fun at Sheri’s property and I’m sure she felt like it was her second home. Sheri provided updates daily including pictures of our girl to make sure our minds were at ease while away. I would not hesitate to recommend Sheri to anyone with a larger dog looking for a more personalized dog boarding experience. We are customers for life 🩵 thank you for taking such good care of our girl Sheri!
Sheri took care of our Berner while we were on holidays this summer. She gave us daily updates, and accommodated to his sleeping preferences to make sure he was a happy boy. Only issue was that he didn’t want to come home when we were back! Very pleased. Thanks Sheri!
I recently boarded my senior Beagle, Maggie, @ Wolfe Eden dog boarding for a week while I was away on vacation. I was very concerned as my dog gets very upset whenever I am away and at 14 years of age I was concerned about her health and care. I need not have been. Shari looked after my dog exactly as I would have, she sent me pictures and videos daily and was truly caring about Maggie. I could not have found a better place to board her and highly recommend Wolfe Eden and Shari to anyone who wants the very best for their dog. Terry Hayman 306-20750 Duncan way, Langley BC
Wolf Eden was amazing! Our dog absolutely loved Sheri and was so happy during his stay. He got so much care and attention. I definitely recommend Wolf Eden and I will definitely be taking our dog there again.
Our family has three Pyredane pups. They are young, energetic and very big. . We would never leave them in a traditional kennel or boarding facility. So, when they were approximately 18 months old we began an extensive search from White Rock to Mission looking for the appropriate place for their “Home Away from Home.” And, very fortunately we found Shari and Wolf Eden! It is the only place we would leave our pups! Most traditional style kennels keep the dogs in very small “rooms” with very limited access to play areas. The “runs” are often dark and damp. “Exercise” times outside are often limited to 15-20 minutes approximately 4-6 times a day! Certainly not a holiday for any dog! Wolf Eden is the exception! The dogs get more personal attention and much more time outdoors than indoors. There are acres of completely secure fenced areas for all types of dogs! It is perfect for social dogs and just as good for dogs who prefer to be alone. The inside area is perfect too! Lots of room to move around and relax. Shari is marvellous! She is so comfortable and confident with all sizes and personalities and she caters to their special diets and needs! Our dogs love her. They get excited when we mention her name! In our opinion, Shari and Wolf Eden are in a class of their own! No others come even close! We are so grateful to have found this wonderful place.
Where to start on how amazing wolf eden dog boarding is!!! Sheri is a kind and loveing person who truly treats your dog as her own. My dog marlow loves her play dates and boarding has never been so easy. So much room to run around safely and indoor rooms and places to stay cool, dry and safe all night if your boarding or a great indoor place to relax after a morning of fun! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Wolf Eden Dog Boarding is the best place for you and your own fur friend!
I have just picked up my two fur babies! What fabulous care they received, from the daily photos and updates to the care and compassion of Sheri, in all of our conversations. I highly recommend Wolf Eden for anyone needing to board their fur buddies. It was a home away from home for my two.
Our pup had the best time with Sheri. It was clear he had been cared for with care and love. He had fun as well and adjusted easily to her space. Would recommend highly!!!
I have been taking my dog to Rover Stay Over for about a year and a half. We typically do the premium bigs lodging. The premium option has her play with other dogs in group play for most of the day! The staff will sometimes send us photos of all the fun she is having. Every time I drop my dog off she is very excited to be at Rover Stay Over. When I pick her up she is tired for a day or two. I am very happy that my dog is in a safe environment and enjoys her time so much! The staff is very friendly as well.
I was staying in the Lyden area camping and needing an overnight facilty for my dog because we had to go fishing VERY early. I contacted Rover Stay Over and set-up a reservation. Even being from out of town, they were able to take my dog because I had all the appropriate vaccine information, etc. Bailey had a great time and was one tired pup when I picked him up. Thank you Rover Stay Over for the ease of everything. "Your facility is PAWsome!" - @sirbaileyshark
We needed some help for a few hours during a day trip across the border. Not having connections in the area, this site was a perfect resource. The process was seamless and communication was great. Tobi had a great time here and we are grateful for their services.
Rover took great care of our 5 dogs when we were out of town. They returned home tired and happy from all the play. Rover sent us photos so we could see they each felt confident and cared for. We will definitely use Rover again.
Rover Stay Over was able to get my dog in for a 6 day “emergency” when my regular boarder went on vacation. The facility is clean and professional. The staff clearly LOVES the dogs (I got to hear them talk to other pet parents - it wasn’t just me). I loved the report card and photos so I knew Charlie was having a great time. I’m definitely going to be a regular!!!
I was looking for a new place to groom our 2 year old cockapoo. It was suggested for me to bring him to Rover stay over for grooming, which I didn’t know they had grooming options. I was very happy to find that our dog was groomed to exactly how I had asked and was treated with care and love. Plus, the price was completely reasonable and very much within my budget. I will definitely come here again!
Our dog loves going to Rover Stay Over for their daycare playgroup! Her excitement shows when we drop her off. She gets to run off leash and play with other dogs in a fenced, supervised area, which is so good for her. The staff there is friendly and experienced. We’ve also boarded our dog there from one to several days and are happy with that experience too.
We love taking our doggos to Rover Stay Over. The dogs are super excited to get there, practically singing with glee when they see we are slowing to turn into the driveway. The staff clearly love all their charges and we love them back. The only gripe we have is regarding overnight boarding policy that if you leave your dog after 11am on the pick up day they will charge for another day of boarding rather than a day of daycare. This is a new change this year, which is why it is why I mention it. We have learned how to work with this, but we preferred the way they did it before. Thank you for being in the community and making our dogs so happy !
Our pup came home very ill with some respiratory infection, lethargic, not eating. He could barely keep his eyes open. They told us this 2 days before I picked him up early- and only because I called and inquired how he was. Only one report card after a couple days and then several days went by with no communication. I had to call and ask for one, and then they said he was coughing and they would " keep an eye on him." Said he also wasnt eating. Seems they should have realized he was getting really ill.He's been home 24 hours and looks very sick- going to vet first thing tomorrow. They need to do much better with observation, and communication potential issues. Not recommended at all. My dog was a healthy 8 month old when he went in. I'm quite concerned now.
We love Rover Stay Over and have left our dog, Briggs, in their care for many years. We love picking him up freshly bathed in his adorable bandana, exhausted, happy, and healthy.
I have used Jennifer's services before for my parrot, cat and dog, when I have not been able to be home in a timely manner. This time all 3 were looked after for for a 2 night mini get-away. My 13 year old dog has never been in a kennel nor did she have to spend overnight without a human presence. Jennifer looked after all 3 beautifully - she is detail oriented, always sends a little check-in for peace of mind, and I know I can trust her and rely on her to take care of everyone as requested. I completely would recommend her to anyone!
I had a great experience with Jennifer, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone living in Abbotsford. I have high anxiety leaving my two dogs behind because I find it difficult to trust anyone with them. I felt at ease with her calm presence, and could tell she really is great with animals. Layla had an amazing visit with her daily walks, and Phoenix (anxiety riddled white dog) promises to try harder next time to brave a walk with you.
We were out for a long day and we don't like to leave our dog for too long without some company and time outside. We arranged for Jennifer to come to our home while we were out and she did a wonderful job. She arrived at the time we had discussed and followed our requests. We received a really cute photo update of our dog and how his time was with Jennifer. We will definitely hire Furry or Not again :)
Jennifer and her crew are amazing with our dog and 2 cats. I’m so grateful to have her services because they’re trustworthy and genuinely care.
Absolutely great! As a former owner of my own cat sitting business I am delighted to say that I could not have done the job better - Jennifer was on time, thorough and let me know when she was there - as well as leaving a detailed account of each visit! I could not ask for anything more - I will be a client for life! 🐾🐾🐱🐱 …
This was the first time we’ve had Jennifer come and take care of our cats, and we will ABSOLUTELY do so every time we travel. She is extremely kind and caring with our cats, and we had no worries while away. The prices are fantastic, and I would highly recommend her services!
I have been so fortunate to have found Jennifer and her company! Our dog LOVES having Jennifer come over. It's been so great to have someone I can truly rely on to take care of our big pooch! Can not recommend this company enough. The added bonus is the Christmas Card we get of our monkey's face on it and it's been put on our fridge and never taken down. Thank you for being amazing!
Jennifer helped me and my dog Chevy for almost 12 years. I worked quite a bit and when it was just Chevy and I she was such an integral part of making it all work. Chevy was a high energy little man and wasn’t the largest lover of many humans but he sure did love Jennifer. I am forever grateful for her help, patience and kindness towards Chevy. I would highly recommend Jennifer snd Furryornot Petcare as they are trustworthy and kind to your animals and patient with us humans also. Thank you Furryornot Petcare for everything. I will be eternally grateful for your help.
I am so relieved to have stumbled upon Jennifer and her services. I sent an email to a cat boarding facility literally down the road from me and no response. I then found Jennifer and great reviews plus the fact my cat could stay at home. I've received daily updates and pictures! My shy kitty even came out and socialized with her. So happy. She's great.
This is the second time Jennifer and her crew has looked after our 2 cats. Great service, reliable, updates with pictures during the holiday to help keep your piece of mind. Highly recommend this service.
I can't express enough gratitude to them. They made my move from Alberta back to BC so much easier. They were very, very helpful and I couldn't be happier. I will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you so very much. I am so grateful for your help.
Lina had a 2 night stay here and came home tired but relaxed. I was hesitant as Lina is a little dog aggressive but they do not co-mingle dogs so all was good. They give a report about how your pup did during the stay. I would highly recommend Black Walnut Kennel
I have only used the service one time so far. My dog stayed for the day and had a bath while there. They did an awesome job looking after my dog and removing all the mats and foxtails from the dogs hair. I will use their service again.
The best kennel place and daycare for my Bubble ❤️ staff are awesome and excellent customer service. Thanks 💝 …
My Cocker Spaniel had a wonderful stay. He loved the other dogs he could run along the fence and interact with. Was wagging his tail and wanting to play with staff. Staff treated him well.
Staff is always super friendly, the facility is professional and clean. High quality Kuranda beds in each run added recently is very appreciated. Never worry about my pup when he's here. Thanks!
Staff is supper friendly with affordable pricing. My pup had her first voarding stay and she came home a very happy girl. Highly recommend this wonderful place 😊 …
Our pup loves her stays here! The staff is always so friendly and booking is always easy and efficient. I love being able to go away knowing that my dog is being looked after by such a caring staff
It's great to know that my dog is in great hands and safe, it'd be amazing to have the reports and photos actually updated on the app for longer stays, but my dog is safe and that's what matters to me in the end!
Our dog Luna absolutely loves the BWK and so do we! We have been bringing Luna here on occasion for the past year and have nothing but great things to say. The facilities are top notch and the staff are kind, helpful, and good at providing updates. Our GSP is a handful with an abundance of energy but we are never surprised anymore to see how tired out she gets with the supervised play-time. We get home and shes pooped. Thanks to all of the staff!
