From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Our dog Daisy has been going to A Fetching Place weekly for over a year and it is her favorite day of the week. She always comes home tired and happy. We have also had her stay at boarding multiple times (for up to a week) and NEVER doubt that she is getting the best care (incl. human snuggles, a necessity of course). We are moving away from Peterborough and are sad to say goodbye to her Fetching Place family. A Fetching Place daycare and boarding is absolutely worth it — the facility, professionalism and care is top notch!
Our dog Marty started going to A Fetching Place in November. We're new to Peterborough. We couldn't be happier. Marty is OBSESSED with going and the staff are always so friendly. Its such a relief finding a new dog daycare that we can trust.
Great staff. Friendly and enthusiastic. And all the dogs get pre-screened for compatibility.
Amazing caring staff and trust them wholeheartedly to provide a fun and active day at doggy daycare for our Mila
This place is great, have been taking my pup here since she was fixed 2 years ago. She loves it, knows the place by name and leaps into car when she hears it, and is very excited to go inside when we arrive. Staff are friendly and accommodating, the dogs love them, and they are obviously genuinely concerned about the dogs wellbeing. I have no hesitation leaving my girl in their care for any length of time.
Love this day care for my dog. I've been bringing her since she was a puppy and even though now we live in a different city a few hours away, if we're doing any travelling we are happy to leave her here. Rates are great including overnights. They require your first visit to be a temperament test, to make sure that they fit in well with the other dogs which is something that I appreciate cuz I would expect the same for other dogs. But if you haven't gone there in over a year you'll need to redo the temperament test which is a small price to pay to ensure a safe place for your furry family member to stay. The staff are pretty knowledgeable and caring, and they always make you and your pets feel welcome. There's a large play space outside, and inside. The inside area does not have kennels, and instead has a large sleeping area with multiple coaches and TVs with animal shows on to keep the dogs entertained and comfortable. Plus there is always at least one staff looking after the animals.
My girl absolutely loves A Fetching Place! The staff are friendly & you can tell how much they love their jobs. My girl always comes home happy & tired.
My dog was injured under Fetching Place care, no accountability by staff. Staff were very rude, dismissive, dishonest, by lying to the owners regarding the injury, lying and dismissive about the occurrence, and referred to my dogs injury using the word “wonderful”, but that staff member did apologize immediately for stepping out of line with her words. Staff did have knowledge on my next visit, because it was the same lying staff member. That same staff member allowed me into the building, zero force was used. The injury wasn’t small, nor was it wartlike, it was an abrasion causing double sized swelling which he yelped at the touch. It wasn’t there in the morning, leading me to my question how it happened there, because if it was that painful at the touch he likely would’ve screamed during injury, and staff should have saw/heard it happen, unless he was unsupervised, and otherwise a wart on his paw would’ve been unnoticeable. I was warned by a friend of mine whose dog was attacked and suffered lacerations at Fetching Place, to which staff claimed the cameras weren’t working during the attack. I had no intentions of purchasing another care package, but the only honest thing that has been said by Fetching Place that I can agree with is that my dog Obi is indeed fantastic
5 Stars! Our Husky pup Jersey has been going to A Fetching Place since March 2021 and he absolutely loves it. When we first got our Husky pup, we underestimated the amount of energy he would have. If you own a high energy dog, this is the place for you! The day we introduced him, we knew that it was the right choice for our fur family member. Natasha and her team are amazing. They make sure our Pup is looked after, as if he was their own dog. (We joke and call Natasha Jersey's 2nd Mom. ) I love that our puppy gets to play with big and small dogs. He has learned to play nicely with everyone and understand cues when others want to play or need space. We have also noticed since he has started going to A Fetching Place he is much more obedient and calm at home. When we say the word 'walk' or 'outside' Jersey's ears perk up, However if we say' Daycare' , he loses his mind by howling and jumping around. A Fetching Place has been a game changer as a pet owner. It has been the best decision I have ever made and I am thankful to the staff for everything you do ❤ Thank you The Francis Family
Our dog loves going here. He is a anxious dog and Natasha worked so hard with him to make him feel comfortable . Now we board him for days at a time and we travel knowing someone sleeps with him at night !!! All the staff are amazing and very accommodating. I would highly recommend ☺
We had a great experience with Rosie's Pet Services! Kitty made sure our 3 fur babies were super well taken care of while we were gone! It was so great to get updates daily while we were away! She even left them a Christmas gift, so sweet! Would highly recommend!
Kitty is fantastic with my little puppy Norman! She is on time for check ins and gives him all the attention a puppy needs. Her daily report cards and updates with every visit are excellent and give some reassurance that your pet is in good hands and well. Highly recommend!
Kitty has been such a lifesaver for us! She has been consistently providing services for our puppy during the work week for 6 months now. She is highly trustworthy and reliable, and always makes sure to give us updates on her visits. All of our four legged family members love her! We definitely recommend her.
Kitty is extremely caring and kind with our 5 year old cobberdog. Kitty communicates promptly and is always willing to try new hikes and adventures and methods to help our nervous guy feel calm and happy. Kitty and Rosie's Pet Services are awesome.
My girls love their walks with Kitty. She is very kind, professional and reliable.Thy love her kind gentle nature!
Kitty is absolutely amazing! We have had her watch our dog twice now while we are away on vacation. We are always pleased with her service; always sending photos/videos and daily updates so you know your fur family is doing well :) our dog absolutely loves her and gets excited when we say her name now lol
There is not much to be said Kitty is simply the best my dog Clifford adores her. I have full faith in her while I am away the world needs more people like her so kind and gentle
I can't recommend Rosie's Pet Services highly enough! Super professional and reliable, friendly, courteous...and they obviously care deeply for animals. Little touches like sending a text or leaving a note with a picture of my little guy make you feel assured that your pet is cared for and in great hands. Thank you so much Molly and Kitty for all you do! You've done wonders for my anxiety those occasions when I've had to be away!
Kitty and her sister, are so sweet. They both took amazing care of my princess over the Christmas holidays and were constantly sending me updates and picture's. highly recommend these girls for pet sitting! I will be using their services again shortly. Thanks girls
Kitty did an exceptional job of caring for our cat while we were away. Right from the first meeting, she was thorough and professional. She showed interest in and compassion for our cat, and was obviously very focused on tailoring her care to his needs. We appreciated that she took the time to update us by text, and to even send a couple of photos. It made our time away a lot easier and more relaxed. We’re so pleased to have someone we can rely on for pet care in the future. A million thanks, Kitty!
Our dog recently had the most wonderful holiday with Lisa and family. He came home exhausted.....and that's a good thing with this guy. A home away from home for your dog is hard to find. This business is a real gem and a lifesaver. Thank you Lisa!
Last year, around this time we discovered Jurassic Bark Kennels on our search for a new family member through the Canadian Kennel Club. To our delight, a litter was on the way for English Cream Golden Retrievers. Through a thorough application process, we were selected as successful candidates and in early March we welcomed a baby girl home. Our experience with Dee and the team at Jurassic Bark was exemplary. We are happy we found them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new family member when litters become available.
We used to live in Kawartha Lakes but now in Hastings County and still bring our 2 dogs to Dee as we are confident that they are well looked after and are happy there. For us it's worth the long drive knowing that our dogs are comfortable, safe and well cared for. Dee really makes sure their stay is a happy one, wouldn't take them anywhere else!
I can’t say enough about this Kennel. I have 2 dogs Mavy (chocolate lab 6) and Bella (mixed breed 8mnths). Mavy has epilepsy and we only ever used one kennel. Unfortunately it closed and I had not found one that I felt comfortable with in a year (yes picky). I came across Jurassic Bark on luck I guess. It ended up being close to my house (bonus) instead of being the 35 mins I had been driving. I met Didi first and she is just lovely. She understood my concerns with Mavy and was more then happy to take on my loveable challenge and my bullet Bella. I have gone through a busy few weeks and both, Didi and Patrick have been nothing short of wonderful! The facility is beautiful!!! Just as important safe! The dogs have tons of room, in and outside. So in short if you are looking for kennel... this is it!
The owners are friendly and accommodating. We have been taking our dog here since she was 6 months old and shelby has always come home happy. They truly care about the dogs and their well being. Best kennel in the Kawartha's
Wasabi all tired after coming from Jurassic Bark Kennels!!! He loved it there!!! We will surely come back next year!!!
Exceptional people providing exceptional care for Toby. Facility is clean & safe. Toby comes home happy every time! Thank you for....everything!
Great place for the puppy Clean, friendly, awesome with the dogs. Will pass this place on to others!
Thank you
Pat and Don are wonderful with my dogs. I have boarded multiple dogs with them over the past 17 years and my dogs always love going there. I take comfort in knowing that my dogs are happy and safe while in their care! 100% recommend them!
Professional. She knows multiple ways to train dogs. And picks the one that gives the bestfoundation for the dog and reliability from the handler.
Willing to take on a deaf rescue as an occasional boarder! Opal seemed to like it.
Good place for dogs. Good set up.
Pat is great with the dogs in her care
Thank you for the review. We very much appreciate it.
Our dog loves going here for day care and overnights! Darren, Krista and Shannon are all so friendly, and you can tell they love what they do because they are great at it. We are so grateful to have a safe, fun and caring environment to take our pup 😊 …
Wonderful place. I'm in the process of moving and I have to board my dogs. They let me come visit and walk my dogs on their property whenever I can. They have been so very helpful and I highly recommend them.
We had the most exceptional experience with 4 Paws. My in laws arrived very late at night to a resort that couldn’t except their dog and Darren, even though he was fully booked, went over and beyond to make space for one more dog and took him in for the weekend. The dog was also very well taken care of for the duration of his stay. We can’t thank Darren enough for the excellent service and will definitely visit again whenever we are in the area.
My dog loves it. That tells me a lot. She's running to the door. The family run business treat your furry loved ones like family. It's top notch!
4 Paws Pet Lodge is an amazing second home for your puppies. Krista and Darren are amazing, easy going and really love the dogs. Feel very comforted knowing this is a safe and very friendly place. Prices are very reasonable too! Definitely deserving of 5 stars!
We have been bringing our dog for 5 years to this great, caring, professional kennel. As our dog is older now, they personalize the care for her. She does not come home stressed and is happy to go. Highly recommend.
Incredible family, wish I could give 10 stars. Eddie and Tucker were very well cared for
You couldn't find a better place to leave your pet! Our dog loves going here! The owners are delightful and take stellar care of the animals! I cannot say enough good things about this place!
What a wonderful place to leave your pet! Capri received the best care ever and in such terrific surroundings. My heartfelt thank you to the whole family for making her stay with you a very pleasant one.
Marbles had a fantastic few days at 4 Paws. Darren was awesome and was able to accomodate us for an extra night when my travel plans unexpectedly changed.
After moving to Bancroft, my husband and I needed to find someone to look after our two dogs occasionally. We met Katy and instantly felt comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She showed us her home and has been kind enough to watch our dogs on numerous occasions now. We never have any concerns leaving the dogs with her. She sends us photo and video updates. Our dogs get along great with hers and always have a great time staying with her. We are so appreciative to know our dogs are in such good hands with her and we really wouldn’t want to leave them anywhere else!
Katy looked after my cockapoo, Beau, every day while I was working. I was so comfortable leaving him and knew he was getting the best care. Beau could barely wait for the car to stop each time we arrived at Happy Tails - he jumped out of the car and ran right to Katy each day! He had so much fun there and I always enjoyed getting the videos of his day with his dog friends. I highly recommend Happy Tails - operates in a very professional manner. Katy and Matt - We wish you all the best at your new location!
Looking for a dog walker? Look no further...After a devastating experience with an open concept pet resort in Niagara, we contacted Katy to help with our new puppy. We have now relied on Katy for over a year and a half and have never been disappointed! Our dog loves her and looks forward to her visits during the work day. We are totally comfortable giving her access to our home. Katy is always flexible if we have to change our days and even continued to come during a major renovation. We would not have been able to get a new puppy at that time without the help of Katy. I highly recommend her!
Happy Tails has been our go to dog retreat four our two small dogs. Katy is always quick and responsive to our needs & has always been able to take our dogs in a pinch. She is very affectionate towards both our dogs & we know they are going to be in good hands while we are away. Her set up is perfect & she always sends us a few pics of our dogs having fun while on vacation with Katy. I truly believe they are sad to leave when we come & pick them up. Highly recommended.
We have trusted Katy with our two dogs since 2010 and have been consistently delighted with her services as a dog walker and boarder. I appreciate her flexibility in scheduling: sometimes we book last minute, and we often book on an irregular schedule. She shows great care for our dogs, sends a message if something is out of sorts, leaves a note if something was really positive, and gives us plenty of notice if she will not be available for a period of time. Overall, Happy Tails has been a model of customer service for us and we know the dogs love her too. Highest recommendation!
Katy has been my dog walker for the last few years. I trust her completely with Molly and access to my house. She has always been very flexible with being able to come on weekends, holidays and evenings to walk and feed Molly when I'm working 12 hour shifts. She has even been able to accommodate me on several occasions when I've needed last minute services. I'm very grateful for Katy and her dog walking services. Molly loves her too!
This is the best place I've ever boarded my dog. Katy is amazing and my dog (Marlowe) is always excited to spend time with her - completely removes the stress from travelling and leaving Marlowe behind. Katy always keeps me up to date with pictures and text messages, is flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and is fairly priced. She makes Marlowe part of her family while he's there - I couldn't ask for better! Highly recommend Katy and Happy Tails!
A few years ago Katy Askham, owner of Happy Tails Dog Walking & Pet Sitting, began as our occasional dog walker and is now also the primary home boarder for our small Shih Tzu mix. Katy is very reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Her home and yard are clean and pet safe. She is great with dogs and open to handling special needs. We know our dog is glad to stay with Katy, as she happily runs in upon arrival. This is opposed to the cowering and quivering reluctance seen at the groomer and vet.
We hired Katy to walk our two dogs after a disappointing experience with our first dog walker and we can't say enough good things! Our dogs love her and always look forward to their walk with Katy; she is very reliable and is understanding and accommodating any time we have had to reschedule last minute. Her expertise and suggestions have helped us to improve our dog's unwanted behaviours; overall they are much more pleasurable to walk as a result of having spent time with Katy. We are thrilled to have her working with us!
Katy was a life saver. She came to visit my dog Lemon soon after I sent an email looking for a dog walker that could take on special needs. We instantly knew it would be a great fit; Lemon loved Katy and I was assured that Katy was a kind, knowledgeable, top-notch professional. Katy documented all of Lemon’s information and somehow found time in her busy schedule to visit during peak hours. She was also so accommodating whenever we had a change in our schedule. Lemon always had extra tail wags on the days she got to spend with Katy. We miss her now that Lemon spends more time with her grandma! I would recommend Katy to anyone looking to put their heart at ease knowing their dog will be in the most responsible and nurturing hands.
