Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, 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!
Top Dog is the most amazing daycare. Our sweet, high-energy, BIG Berner has been going to daycare here since he was 3 months old. Everyone treats him so amazingly. He often goes for the day to play and comes home exhausted. When we travel, this is the only place we trust him to go. I know he will play, be loved, and treated with extremely well. He also gets his baths here, and he always looks like a BIG Fluff when he comes out, smelling like lavender. I trust and love this place so much. All of the people who work here are genuinely kind, loving, and really good people.
Amazing staff! Ben and the rest of the staff made sure my dog felt welcome right away. Felt very spacious and there were plenty of fun activities for the dogs to do! My pup was tired and happy after a fulfilling day, can’t recommend them enough!
We recently boarded our dogs here for the first time, and it was a very smooth experience. The dogs seemed well taken care of. Typically, they don't eat much when boarded, but this time they came home having finished all their food, which was a positive sign. It seems they must have felt comfortable at Top Dog. We encountered a situation where we couldn't return in time to pick them up before closing. I called, and extending their stay for an additional night wasn't a problem. The upfront pricing, which is also listed on their website, offers a level of transparency that isn't always found elsewhere. I would recommend Top Dog to anyone seeking a safe place for their dogs.
My dog loves it here!! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive to my pup. The facilities are clean, and the play areas are so spacious. My dog is always happy and tired from a day of play at Top Dog! I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable place for their dogs!!
Our pups had a blast at Top Dog! The staff were super friendly and the property was perfect! We love Too Dog!
We absolutely love Top Dog and my dog is always excited to go to daycare. We have boarded him several times and I have felt very comfortable leaving my pup there. The staff are very kind and caring and the facility is top notch! Baxter knows his daycare days and gets so excited to play with his friends. Bring your dog here and they will have so much fun like Baxter does!!
Ben and all the staff are wonderful. When I tell Howard he is going to daycare he gets super excited. They have been so flexible with us in taking care of Howard on short notice the last couple of years, due to family loss/illness & I couldn't be more grateful for the kindness they have shown us!
We brought our little guy here for a play day and he had the best time and came home exhausted! The staff was wonderful!
My husky loves daycare at TopDog more than anything. His favorite days are those spent playing with his friends, and I feel comfort knowing he is being cared for and kept safe. The staff are dedicated to making everyone happy and truly love all the dogs!
My dog Bella has been going to Top Dog for 3.5 years. I’ve never had any complaints. They have always taken care of her and she’s always tired when I pick her up. The staff there is always friendly and easy to talk to if I have questions. They are amazing!
Absolutely love this place for my pups and they love going! Very kind and accommodating. Highly recommended getting your pups bathed too! They always come home smelling wonderful!
When Cottonwood Vet closed down their boarding facility, I needed to scramble to find another boarding facility. I chose Animal House because they had good reviews and similar cheaper rate. So far the transition to this facility has gone smooth. They are very flexible with their scheduling and make drop off and pick up very convenient with text communication and will accommodate you if something comes up. Although my dog does not like going to any boarding facility because of separation anxiety, he never comes back injured or scared. Highly recommend their service!
I can't express how pleased I am with Animal House Bozeman! My dog Freddy stayed here in January over MLK weekend when a cold snap brought temperatures in Montana into the negative 30's-50's depending on where you were. I was worried sick about leaving my pup that weekend but I had important travel plans that couldn't be delayed. They took excellent care of him despite the wild weather conditions. It's everything you want from a boarding facility. He'll be staying there again this summer and I'm thrilled to have a place that I can't trust will take care of my boy.
We've had Jake and Dayna take care of our dogs for over 10 years. They are amazing people and my dogs have always been excited to go to the Animal House!
Our Great Pyrenees stayed with them for a week. He got to play with the other pups during his stay and came back happy. We also really appreciated that she understands his breed. Highly recommend!
My two Brittany spaniels love staying here! They are excited to play with the others when we arrive, they aren’t anxious when I pick them up, and I feel they have been well cared for (one with special needs and meds). Highly recommend!
Animal House has been amazing for my dog, May. I can always tell she's spent a lot of energy playing with other dogs there and Dana always gives me a report with specific details about dogs May has befriend. It's my first choice for a boarding facility whether I'm going out of town for the night or a week, not to mention it's so much more reasonably priced than any other kennel I've found in Bozeman.
We have been taking our Springer here since we've gotten her and the owners always remember her and know her personality. I can tell she taken care of here and in safe hands!
We've been daycare customers for several years now. They've been nothing but accommodating, have great prices, and really care for the animals. Always recommend them to friends.
Our dog has stayed there several times and loved it, but in one incidence our dog stomach flipped and started to get distended, she would have died while we were away had it not been for her and are forever grateful that she caught it in time!
Summit is by far the best place I've taken my dogs. I've tried most places in the Bozeman and Belgrade area and Summit stands above them all. You can tell their team takes pride in what they do and really take good care of the dogs. The dogs get far more supervision compared to most larger boarding facilities as well as more room/time to run around outside. Needless to say, my dogs absolutely love this place and I can trust they are in good caring hands.
Summit is the absolute BEST daycare/boarding in the area!! I feel so blessed to have found them. They are incredibly attentive, understanding, and very sweet owners. Bandit used to start shaking and dread going to his other daycare in Bozeman so I knew I had to try somewhere else. Then I found Summit!! Bandit was sooo excited to go every day and came home exhausted. I wish I wasn't moving out of state because I know I won't find another facility like them! If you're doggy daycare shopping, this is the one. Thank you guys for taking wonderful care of Bandit <3
Jeff and Olivia are the best! My dogs are always so happy to go either for the day or for sleepovers. I highly recommend Summit Pet Resort.
Highly recommend Summit Pet Resort for dog ranch day care and/or boarding. The owners at Summit are like second parents to our best boy, Conner!
I wanted to write this review for any folks that also have nervous and shy pups as we do. You can take my review with a grain of salt considering our pup was only here for a couple of hours and I don’t really know how to properly rate them however I also don’t think that it would’ve been fair to give Summit a bad review seeing as I don’t think they are fully to blame for our dog not making it through her trial and most of my experience with them was positive even though we were denied. They also have tons of great reviews (which is why we tried it out) so I’m sure it’s a great place to leave your dog. I can only speak towards my experience and ultimately we really wanted it work out. The facility has a massive field for dogs to run around in and play which unfortunately happened to be a negative in our case. A bit of background, we got our pup at 4 months old and sadly she wasn’t properly socialized with strangers and despite our best efforts to get her socialized she remains timid around unfamiliar people unless she is around them consistently. I informed Summit of this and to my dismay was given a call just two hours after I dropped her off telling me to come pick her up because they weren’t able to grab her in the fenced in area. So my suggestion, and their recommendation to me is to find a place with a smaller play area. We have actually taken her to Know Thy Dog and Bark City previously and she has been accepted to both. We love our dog dearly and have given her every opportunity to become a more confident dog with things like training, taking her to work most days, and occasionally enrolling her in daycare. Unfortunately, she is just a timid dog and Summit wasn’t able to accommodate her which is totally understandable and I don’t fault them for it. It just wasn’t a good match and we are disappointed because honestly from the very little interaction we had with staff I felt they were very nice, the sign up was easy, and they were available for daycare and boarding when others were full, so if you have a very friendly dog this is probably a great fit for you, we certainly wish our dog was able to stay here and get all that running room. But for those who have shy dogs like ours maybe try a smaller place. My only negative thing I have to say about Summit is when I asked for a bit of refund for the day, since she was only there for 2 hours, they told me she received plenty of one on one time, almost an hour and a half worth, and should be very tired and then followed that by saying they don’t do refunds on trial days. If they had just told me they don’t do refunds on trial days and that’s their policy I wouldn’t have minded and totally understood, but to tell me the reason I’m not getting a refund is because she got a bunch of one on one time right after you just called me to pick her up because she wouldn’t come near you doesn’t really add up to me. If you can’t get near her I wouldn’t consider that one on one time, I would say that’s alone time. Just tell me you don’t do that and that’s all you have to say. That’s super nit picky though and would be my only constructive criticism for the team there (didn’t really expect to be refunded anyways just thought I’d ask). Anyways, give these guys a shot, it seems like a great place, but don’t be surprised if you get denied having a shy pup.
The best dog care option in the valley, in my opinion. They post photos of your dog on social media, which is a fun way to check in and see how he is doing. We've never had a bad experience at Summit, and they've been flexible and understanding (even despite the fact that our dog is currently a 9 month old 60lb Australian Shepherd who still in full blown puppy mode).
I have utilized this facility a few times in the last year and a half, and I have always been impressed. Recently, my pets stayed for about a week. Roughly 40 minutes before picking up my dogs, I got a phone call about my pet being in distress with no obvious external wounds. When I got there, I was able to identify an external puncture wound upon inspection, which required advanced wound care, and internal and external stitches. I understand pets get hurt, but the condition in which I found her was not an acute onset of symptoms. The wound was older and needed immediate medical attention. Additionally, Summit did not handle it well and denied any explanation as to why my pet was hurt. They acted cold and unapologetic. They offered no assistance and did not even call the check on her condition after visiting the emergency room. Due to their overall assessment and reaction to my pet being hurt, and the nature of the situation, I no longer trust any of my pets in their care and cannot continue to recommend them.
When leaving for the holidays, It is always a trick to make sure your pets are in good hands. You want your pets to feel and be safe, fed properly as well as get to run around. Summit Pet Resort does not just meet these expectations, but exceeds them in every way. Olivia and Jeffrey are exceptional people who I have complete faith in. Thank you both for taking care of Grit! I am so thankful to have a place for my pup that I can depend on when I am unable to be here!
Jeff and Olivia took in my high maintenance pup while I was visiting family over the holidays. These two took very good care of my dog! Thanks for keeping him healthy, safe, and entertained. I really appreciated their transparent approach to boarding while maintaining boundaries to help keep the dogs safe. They were very comfortable giving him his medication and made sure to include him on their regularly updated social media. There was a trail day before he could be boarded where Jeff and their head trainer Max answered any questions I had. Thanks again!
I have taken my dog other places and been totally happy, but I recently brought him to Summit Pet Resort and I love it! He cries the whole way there because he’s so excited, and sleeps the whole way home. I love that he has 2 acres to run around, and that they post lots of pictures of him throughout the day. They are so friendly and attentive. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dog in someone else’s care!
We boarded our dog for a week while we stayed in Yellowstone. Her stay was fantastic! What a great place! She was safe and happy and we could relax and enjoy the park. Thank you so much for caring for her as we would.
Would have made a reservation for our two herding dog mixes but they don’t accept pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I had the best rescue pit for more than 10 years. This policy reflects poorly on this business.
We couldn’t be happier with everything that Blake, Elizabeth, and amazing acres have done for our puppy. We started taking her a few moths ago and there is no doubt that they are helping her become such a social and happy dog. They are so awesome dealing with any of my questions and are always quick to respond. We will be taking Jolene (and any future dogs) to amazing acres as long as they’ll have us!
We boarded both of our cats and they both did very well! We will definitely bring them here again when we need to board them.
We love the care and attention that Rusty receives here! Blake and his staff make it so much easier to leave our fur baby because we know he will be happy and well taken care of!
We absolutely love Amazing Acres! Our dogs do too. Blake and Elizabeth were wonderful to work with and took great care of our pups. Blake has built a beautiful facility and was very clear about rules and guidelines for our dogs' stay, which we greatly appreciated. Our dogs came home happy and tired. :o)
We scheduled a tour with Blake and really liked the facility. We then scheduled our two dogs for doggy daycare for a trial run . Everything went great so we scheduled them for a week. I'm one of those pet parents that cries when I leave my dogs and then worry about them the whole time. I didn't cry and I didn't worry about them once! It was so great. Blake posts pictures on his Facebook page so you can see your fur babies and what they are doing. Thank you so much! It really is an amazing pet resort.
Such a great and well run facility! Our basset hound Lance recently spent 12 days at Amazing Acres and came home very tired and missing all of his new friends. The photos that were regularly posted gave us such a sense of comfort that he was doing well and hadn’t been grounded for chewing something up. 😁. The resort is clean and laid out in such a way to accommodate dogs of all sizes. There’s also a great space for kitties. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend this place! We were so grateful to have our two pups stay here for a couple of days. Blake was extremely communicative and accommodating to our pups specific needs. I was extremely impressed with the facility. It was clean, the kennels were big and each included a doggy door.
Blake and Elizabeth were an absolute joy to work with. Blake is very clear with his expectations only to make the experience a positive one for you and your pets. I was a little concerned because my dogs are with me 24/7, but both of our dogs did great. Please look no further if you're looking for a quality, professional place to board your pets. Plus, you would never guess it was a boarding kennel, it smells so clean when you walk in! I do believe we've found our go-to kennel for the future. Thank you Blake and team!
Know Thy Dog has taken care of our dog since she was a little puppy, both for daycare and overnight boarding. The staff are exceptional and share mutual affection with our dog, who always loves to see them. The team is very detail-oriented and engaged with each dog, making sure each pup’s experience is best-suited to their temperment and play style. We give the very highest recommendation to Know Thy Dog!
Know Thy Dog is an amazingly well organized Day and Boarding Kennel. My dog Bell stayed for a week. They take special care with the time of play and rest, groups and their interactions. The dogs are Always supervised. The outside play area is immaculate and when it is to hot out side there are large clean air-conditioned indoor areas. When they see anything out of the normal about your pet, they will immediately notify you. No hiding anything. I am so happy to have found them, for my Peace of mind. Yes, I am a neurotic pet owner...With KTD I feel very, very comfortable. Best choice and an added bonus, reasonably priced.
We take our pets to KNOW THY DOG on a very regular basis. I can’t say enough great things about the company, the accommodations, the staff and how they take care of your pets like they’re their own. Great people with lots of love for your animals just like you have. Can’t say enough great things about them.
My border collie mix, Ellie, has benefited so much from Know Thy Dog! She has been training with Max since she was 3 months old, and has also gone to daycare and done the 5 day board and train program. After doing the 5 day board and train with them, she came home so confident, happy, and exhausted! Max is so great at helping you really understand your dogs behavior so that you can more efficiently correct problems. With his help, I feel like I can communicate with Ellie in a way that makes sense to her. I really appreciate that no one on staff ever pressures you into signing up for more training than you need, and encourage and enable you to continue working with your dog by yourself. I can't recommend them highly enough!
We lived in Bozeman from 2019-2022 and our dogs adored Know Thy Dog. They helped my lab mix Zoe get her energy out and were really responsible with the activity for my pomsky Pippin who has bad back legs. We rescued Pippin in Bozeman and they really helped him come out of his shell and become the loveable goofball he is today. I always felt comfortable leaving them there because I knew they were loved and happy. We miss Know Thy Dog immensely and can't recommend them enough! If I'm ever back in the area I would not hesitate to use their services again.
Thank you for a welcoming (for human and dog) and kind experience. I appreciate the professionalism and firm sweetness that you operate with; our young dog loves going to KTD day care :) !
While visiting from out of state our dog stayed there over night on the 4th of july, they were very excited to have her and she seemed to have a good time. Love that they post pictures and videos of the dogs having fun. We will definatley take our dog there again when we go back to Montana.
Kelly and staff deserve more than 5 stars! Hank (and Brutus, his bf, bottom right) has been going there since he was a puppy and there is no place I would rather drop him off for daycare or for an overnight. Hank was a part of their overnight boarding "on leash training". It was suggested by Kelly as he was going to be there for a week anyways and it was the best decision I've ever made for him... Thanks Max! HIGHLY recommended!
We boarded my dog ( for the first time ever ) here over the weekend while we were getting married. They were responsive and communicated with us and helped alleviate our anxieties of leaving him. I got a message on my wedding day congratulating us on our day and a photo of him in a little tuxedo tie. The personal touches and care for my dog was incredible and I cannot recommend this place enough. And it was extremely affordable. We are so grateful for Know Thy Dog and how much easier it made our weekend. Thank you!!
If I could, I would post a video of my dog Harper's tail wagging at full speed when she realizes she's being dropped off for daycare at Know Thy Dog, because that says it all. The staff members are so kind and clearly genuinely care about each pup that is in their care. Clean facilities and clear communication. Highly recommend!
Dawn has been walking our puppy for 9 months now and she might well be his favorite human. We’ve had Dawn check in on him during the day and house sit for a long weekend, and in every case she’s been fantastic. Not only does our dog love spending time with her, her communication and reliability has always been spot on. She’s the best in the business!
My dogs love Dawn! They get so excited when she comes to get them because they know there is fun and adventure in their future. She treats them with lots of love and affection and she knows just what each of them needs to have a successful walk. I never worry about them when I know that Dawn is coming to take them out and look forward to coming home to tired, happy dogs. If you're looking for a reliable, dog loving, trustworthy person to watch or walk your dogs, Adventure Pawtners is your answer.
We are the lucky owners of Smokey the wonder Aussie who is very sweet but also has A LOT of energy... Dawn took it as her personal challenge to wear him out and has succeeded! He absolutely loves her and the adventures she takes him on. Dawn is hands down the best pet/house sitter we have ever had. We also have a 14 year old yellow lab and Dawn is just as caring with Pink on his slow ambles around the block as she is when skinning you’re Bridger with Smokey. Even our finicky kitten loves her! I can’t recommend Adventure Pawtners highly enough, whether your pup needs some tiring out during the week or you’re out of town and need someone to watch over your crew while you’re away Dawn and Mackenzie are our go to gals!
Dawn has been so wonderful! She is reliable, responsive, and takes the best care of our pups. So thankful for her help and we will definitely continue to use her services. We highly recommend her and trust her.
Amazing!! The staff here are incredibly passionate and professional. My adventurous chocolate lab, Hudson, loved it! I will be using this service weekly. Thank you thank you!
Mackenzie sat with our dog for a week, he was so happy and learned many new skills, I highly recommend her to you.
Two paws up from my dog!
If I could give Zelda's Dog Academy 10 stars, I would! It truly is an exceptional boarding and training facility. I feel so fortunate to have found a boarding facility that I can leave our English Creme Golden Retriever puppy, Juniper and never have to worry that she is not being cared for properly. The care is phenomenal! Zelda's goes above and beyond. We enrolled Juniper in the Puppy Foundations Board and Train program for 3 weeks this summer. It was well worth the investment. There have been repeated comments made by strangers about how well-mannered Juniper is as a puppy. We were so happy with the training that she received that we have continued her training with Lindsay in the A.K.C. S.T.A.R Puppy Class. Lindsay is incredibly knowledgeable and her classes are SO fun! Taking her class has increased my bond with Juniper 10 fold. I plan to continue her training with future classes and utilizing their customized board and train option when she is boarded while we are on vacation. I highly recommend Zelda's Dog Academy and their trainers, Sarah and Lindsay!
What a great place to take your dog for training. They are so professional, knowledgeable, caring, and helpful for training. So far we have completed personal in-home training, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training and a basic Agility class four pup Rocky. We will continue taking various classes there as they have so much to choose from. Great Job!
When I was looking into classes for my puppy, price and cleanliness were at the top of my priority list. I checked out more than one program in Bozeman, and landed on Zelda’s! Sara has such good knowledge, and always makes me and my pup feel comfortable. The building is always clean, and she is always open for questions. We’ve done the puppy foundations class and are currently enrolled in obedience one. I have friends who have also taken their dogs to the classes here, and I have never heard anything but great things. If you’re looking for training in Bozeman, this is the place to go! You won’t be disappointed!
My dog benefited greatly from our experience with Lindsey at Zelda's. Lindsey is attentive to the animals and people and puts a lot of effort into the balance of a class and monitoring everyone's experience to ensure class is both enjoyable and beneficial. The facilities are beautiful and clean and a place anyone would be happy to have their dog spend time in! We will be using Zelda's again.
Sara and Lindsey are amazing trainers and provide a great environment for your dog. The care and passion they put into every service they provide from individual training, to AKC group classes and boarding is the best I have experienced or even heard about. The individual training has great structure (if you want it) and helped me be a better dog owner. Most importantly, it gave me the tools to continue to working with my dog successfully. I also joined the AKC trick training which was a really fun way to bond with my dog. They have tons of equipment you probably wouldn't normally buy but are tons of fun. It was great learning new methods for teaching my dog to be more confident and learn more tricks I never would have thought of. The boarding facilities and individual care for each dog is something I have never seen before. It is really refreshing and important not to have to worry for a second if your dog is in the right hands!
I highly recommend Sara at Zelda's Dog Academy for anyone seeking professional, compassionate and effective training for their dogs. Sara's expertise and dedication were evident throughout the training sessions with my two dogs, Remy and Jean-Paul. Her positive reinforcement techniques and tailored approach catered to the unique needs and personalities of each dog, resulting in remarkable progress and behavior improvements. Choosing Sara as your trainer will undoubtedly lead to a happier and more harmonious bond between you and your pets.
My 8 month old golden and I took Sara’s Tricks and Treat class in October and had the best time! She is very creative and knowledgeable when it comes to training pups of all ages! She provided many tips and ideas on how we can accomplish certain tricks with our pups, and also let us ask any questions we had about training in general in every class. She gave us a lot of 1:1 attention and helped make it a positive training environment where we just had FUN! Thanks Sara!
I cannot say enough great things about Sara's knowledge, resourcefulness, and professionalism. I started my four-month-old toy breed with private coaching and we both learned a ton, whether we met at my home, the training facility, or in public settings to practice different skills. We also went to puppy play group, which was a fantastic experience for my dog to learn how to socialize with other puppies of various sizes in a safe environment. Sara is understanding and responsive to your goals, and makes training a fun bonding experience for you and your dog. I would highly recommend Zelda's Dog Academy for training a dog of any age or area of behavioral concern!
Sara is an extremely knowledgeable dog trainer. We learned so much during obedience class and highly recommend Zelda’s Dog Academy.
My pup took the obedience 1 course with Lindsey. It was excellent being able to learn and practice basic obedience skills in a safe and controlled, yet distracting environment with other dogs and owners around. All focused on positive reinforcement techniques, which has been proven over and over as the best training method. Additionally, though it wasn’t a puppy socialization class, there was still plenty of opportunity for my dog to get used to new floor surfaces, other puppies and people, and distractions (tunnels, ramps, etc.). Can’t recommend Zelda’s and Lindsey enough if you want to get a strong start on puppy training and manners.
