Dog Sitters in Antigonish

We were travelling through the Maritimes and our dogs were in desperate need of a grooming. We reached out to Lindsay and she was able to accommodate - on a holiday no less. Our 2 Doods have very tricky hair to manage ( so says every groomer we have ever visited) so were not sure how Shaggy Tails would handle this first time meeting. We picked them up later in the day and were absolutely floored by how amazing they looked. Such attention to detail and took our special requests to heart. Thank you so much Lindsay! Wish you were our FT groomer.

Always great to sneak my guy in for a nail trim......Wish she was taking new clients for Big Dog (German Shepherd) fluff and puffs but thankful she can squeeze us in for nails!!!

Was recommended happy dogs, but mistakenly brought my dog here. Heard some awful noises when they took him inside, and then was told that my dog was "very aggressive" for the first time in his life (5 years). I don't know what happened in there, but my dog loves everyone. Including groomers. So if there was an issue It must have been you. Also upon sharing my story with a few people I've heard nothing good in return. Don't think I'll come back here.

Best dog groomer ever!! Lindsay is experienced, honest, consistent, and very skilled. She does an amazing job EVERY time, and with a smile 😃 …

The best groomer in town. We have been going for 5 years and she's the best. Genuine owner.

As of Dec 20, 2022, her answer machine says no new clients. Disappointed as recommended; we are new to area.

I got my dogs nails cut here and they tried cutting one of her nails it didnt work so they left it now my dog has an infection in her foot/leg THANKS GUYS!

Had my dog Max in for a bath and trim. They did an excellence job.

Very friendly. Great service. Prices are good.

Shaggy tails is the best place around for dog grooming!

I have had good experiences with this kennel, and have left my dogs there for boarding on a couple of occasions. This time when I called I was asked to give my credit card for their file, which I have never been asked for before. This policy is not on the website, and asking for the 3 digit pin on the back is unnecessary. When I was told it was a new policy implemented this year, I knew that to be untrue as I had already boarded my pets this year. I dislike companies who change their policies on regular and reliable customers, without notification on their website. If there was an online form for booking with card, this new policy would make more sense.

My partner and I stopped in here today to possibly get our pup registered for daycare. There was no issue with the fact that they weren’t taking any new clients till the new year, however the individual who assisted us came through the door looking quite angry and continued to blank stare at me until I awkwardly asked about registration, from there I was dismissed pretty rudely and that was that. I’m not usually one to leave a bad review & I have no issue with them genuinely not having the capacity to take on new pups, but was thrown off by the way we were spoken to and ushered out the door. Thank you kindly to anyone who may read this & im sure by the other reviews this business has this isn’t a usual occurrence.

Betty and the staff at Stay n Play are THE BEST ! We have been taking our dogs there for 4 years now and can't imagine life without them. It's more then just a daycare. They love dogs and take a tone of pictures each day and post them on Facebook so you get to see what your fur baby is doing all day. They tell you if there was a sick dog at day care and know my dogs habits and behaviors so if something is off it can be taken care of. They celebrate each dogs birthday. They treat us and our dogs with respect and for all of those things I'm thankful. Stay n Play is much more then a daycare . They are a second family.

Hi, I am a retired RCMP Member of 33 years. I have spent more than 25 yrs of the 33 working with German Shepherds. I was a RCMP K9 Handler and Trainer for the RCMP. We bought a female from Yan, this dog is above and beyond what I expected from a local Breeder. This line of puppies are confident, inquisitive, energetic and going to be a great family and protection dog. And great looking line of dogs. Thank you Yan, you were a pleasure to deal with, your dogs are exceptional !! Mike Landry, St Marie New Brunswick.

They took great care of my two pups while I was on vacation!

They were friendly and were able to board my pet for extra days due to a personal crisis

Great agility classes. Tamara is a great instructor. Be patient learning agility takes time. Also good safe boarding and doggie daycare

Wally & Layla LOVE 'puppy play park'! Perfect for socialization and when you're on vacation.

These folks are true dog lovers. Your dogs are in good hands here. Don’t think twice about leaving them with Betty and her caring staff

First day going for training our dog, Was very informative and we where amazed on what our dog training looks like .

My 5 month old husky was very shy on arrival and after a weekend of loving attention from Marcel as well as his playful and friendly pup team welcomed Riggs with open paws and he is excited to return weekly for play dates! Very highly recommended!

Me and my dog love the Red Woof Inn! Marcel goes above and beyond to make sure each and every dog have a great experience.

10/10 highly recommend. Dogs can free roam at night in a safe environment. Are not locked in kennels. Very clean facility. Reasonable prices. Lots and lots of pictures daily of pups.

We acquired two Japanese Chin pups (litter mates/brothers) at the start of Covid-19 pandemic and they had not been socialized with other dogs, let alone people! Since we plan to travel again at some point in the future we want a safe place for them and access to doggie friends of all sizes and breeds. We were aware of Marcels global animal welfare efforts at saving/improving the lives of many animals over many years, which is why we made the Red Woof our only choice for the care of our boys. We were a little hesitant at first as our boys seemed terrified to be there and ALL the dogs are together big/small, however Marcel is extremely picky about the personalities of the dogs he welcomes into his home and aggression is not tolerated (no matter size). All the dogs that take part in daycare or sleepovers there are well socialized, with agreeable and non-aggressive personalities. Now the boys almost turn themselves inside out with excitement at the mere mention of going to see their doggie friends. We feel they’ve become more outgoing, which has made them far less timid of other animals and people. We are glad to have a safe and happy place for our boys to enjoy the company of canine friends!! 🥰🐶🙏🏼

If you need a doggy daycare you don't have to look any further. We had our puppy there for a week. We have never had patty at a daycare so we were a little nervous about leaving her for a week. They could see our apprehension but he spent nearly a hour explaining how he takes care of his dogs and their schedule for each day. He sent pictures everyday of patty that really help ease our mind knowing she was enjoying the daycare. It's very clean and organized with a separate area for small dogs. Needless to say we were incredibly happy with the owner and his business. He's only been open for a little while but I see great success with his daycare. Thank-you so much.

I was travelling to Nova Scotia from Ontario for the week in a camper trailer and pup, Jack. I had booked a day of sea kayaking but did not want to leave Jack alone for the day. I had looked up a few spots around Truro and came across the Red Woof Inn and figures I'd check it out. I reached out to Marcel about a month prior to my vacation. He stated that an assessment of the dog was necessary prior to taking him in for the day/evening, as well as vaccination papers. A few days prior to the kayaking, as I was passing through Truro, I stopped in to have Marcel assess Jack (to make sure Jack is compatible with Marcel, his two Huskies, and the remaining dogs within Marcel's care). The assessment went well, Jack seemed very at ease and happy when I picked him up. When I brought Jack back for the actual daycare appointment, Jack was very excited to be returning! Marcel is a very kind and genuine soul, and it is quite apparent that he cares for all the dogs within his care. I highly recommend taking a few hours for the assessment in order to allow your dog to spend time here! And to top it off, the price is unbeatable! Thanks again!

Amazing place and one of the best places we have taken our pet. Annie loves going and Marcel is always going above and beyond. He not only is always trying to improve the kennel for the dogs but is also trying to use his business to support local charites and giving back often.

We just picked up our pup Floyd after a week at the Red Woof Inn and he loved it! We will be using this daycare if we ever need to again. Would recommend to anyone!

Marcel is the best. He loves the dogs and provides a fun, loving atmosphere for our puppies.

Marcel is a great guy and I know he takes care of all the animals with the best of his abilities!

So far in the last 10 years we have boarded 2 of our dogs here and this place is fantastic,dogs love it,we don't have any concerns when leaving and the family is great. I always say how lucky we were to find this place ,they are our dog's fun and home away from home place. 5 out of 5 rating from me for sure....... Thank you Adele for being so thoughtful with Chloe our German Shepard dog.

Excellent service provided. Booked last minute. Adele was easy to communicate with and took care of all the dogs needs

An excellent kennel whose owner, Adele O'Brien, goes above and beyond to look after for the dogs in her career. When I left my Labrador at Pets and Pals, Hurricane Fiona hit. Adele took Charlie into her own home so he wouldn't be frightened during the maelstrom.

Adele is awesome with my 6 month old huskey. He was testing her and she was right ontop of his Shanahan's and once hunter knew that she was the boss then he was good as can be with her. I am so glad I chose Pet Pals boarding kennel for my very active huskey.

My boys spent 2 weeks there, and I loved how they were given the attention they needed and the time. I also loved how I received videos every other day of them just enjoying outside playing fetch and just chasing each other.

Great people. Dog centered.

Our German Shepherd Ruby actually cried after we picked her up from doggie daycare. She was treated so well and made friends that she can't wait to see again. A wonderful experience with dedicated and professional dog handlers. I'm impressed......❤️
