Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend

My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!

Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!

Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.

Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!

We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

Made appt a month ago for bath & hair cut. Go in & told i just scheduled for bath, which i know wasnt so. Wanted to reschedule me. They decided to get SOMEONE to groom my dog. When i picked her up her cut was very nicely done, but she had NOT been bathed. She still stunk & toenails were still real long. Paid $85 for haircut! And no bath! Guess this area needs a new reputable dog groomer.
What a shock! Never had a problem with them before. We have been taking our dogs here for the past year to be groomed every 2-3 months and boarded them also. Called to get a grooming appointment and were told we were "not regular customers and would have to be put on a wait list". I guess us common folk will have to find another grooming and boarding location.
Love the staff, they love all the pets! Always enjoy bringing Lainey here for baths and boarding. They always have a smile for you and take great care of your fur baby. I love her smelling like blueberries!
The staff here care for your pets like they are family. I have been taking my pet family there for 15 years. I have had them bathed, groomed, and boarded. They have reasonable prices and my animals love them back.
We have boarded our dogs here for at least the past ten years, beginning when we moved to the area. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is always kind and helpful. Some friends have commented that they are too expensive, but to know that our pets are well cared for is worth a few extra dollars.
We always have a great experience here.Our dog loves it.
They are so great with my dog (bo) he loves them there they really listen to everything you tell them recommended.
I've been taking my dogs there for years!! Great people who do a great job.
This place is wonderful. They treat our dogs like they are their dogs. We have our dogs groomed here as well, and their boarding services are top notch. They came highly recommended to us and now I Highly Recommend them to you.
Both of my doggies love this place. They come out smelling good and looking snazzy. (They are boys). Highly recommend

We take our dogs here. Staff is so kind and great with my dogs! They will even go out side to trim my boy dogs nails due to his afraid of everything and weight is over 100lbs lol
Super nice staff easy to do business with an most importantly I trust them with my pet we board her there and they take very good care of her send me pictures and updates I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else 😊 …
Awesome staff! Great grooming! And our doggie, who I might add is 75lbs thinks he was the king going here. He was pampered and loved on, and was able to take his security blanket aka dog bed and favorite toy for his stay. The staff kept us up to date on how he was doing and even did glamor shots of him. Absolutely would recommend this place again for our doggie. This will always be his home away from home.
Great job on my Sophie! She tends to be very cranky when having her facial hair or nails cut and they always have her looking good!
They're wonderful people and take great care of our pets. We boad and use their grooming services. Our pets will go nowhere else.
Amazing prices, fantastic staff, and you can really tell they love and cherish every pet that comes through their doors.
My animals love Jen and her staff,highly recommend!
Our dog had always been traumatized after grooming sessions. Took her to Jen today, Piddles came home relaxed and happy! And her cut was exactly what we ask for! Thanks Jen & crew!!!
Great care and communication as well as super fair pricing for by dogs!
Took our Buster there for first time. Jen was great, Buster looked great and great price. Would highly recommend.

I was worried getting ready to go on vacation about where my dog would stay and have fun and be safe without being kenneled all day, I contacted Brayla because I had seen her Facebook page and seen how happy every single dog looks! She kept my boys for 4 days and gave me updates every single day along with pictures of my goofy boys! They had so much fun and made so many new friends, definitely will be going to her again!
I am always hesitant about leaving my bulldog anywhere because he is high maintenance (lazy but high maintenance) Brayla took such great care of my baby. She sent me pictures to let me know he was ok and adjusting well. He has been there a couple times for boarding. When I go to get him, Brayla always hugs his neck and talks so sweet to him. Makes me feel like they bonded. I highly recommend Spark N Bark.
Amazing place! My two dogs went for boarding and had the best time! The owner is wonderful with my girls and treat them like they are her own. My boxer usually does not do well around other dogs or new places, so I was extremely nervous boarding her for the first time, but she absolutely thrived here! She ended up socializing and interacting with all kinds of other dogs. The owner was so understanding, accommodating, and helpful especially when I had a family emergency and had to extend their stay another few days. My girls will be back boarded and day care at spark-n-bark! 100% recommend!
Our fur babies were welcomed into Brayla’s home with open arms and lots of kisses. We felt extremely comfortable leaving both of them with her the for the weekend. She kept in touch with us by sending pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated. It is always nice to see them happy and playing. We will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her.
Brayla has a heart of gold caring for all her clients dogs, she truly treats them as one of her own. Daycare--my dogs come home happy and exhausted after spending the day here! Boarding--My dogs did great while under Brayla's care. She communicated often with pictures and general updates. She followed all instructions with their eating and medications.
We have struggled with many places to board our big guy Bacon. He had the best time here last weekend and will be coming back many many many times. Brayla sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he did with other animals and how his health was in our absence as that has been an issue with other places not keeping us informed when issues would come up. He had an amazing time, and was even given a little baggie of yummy treats for the road, will definitely be recommending spark n bark to my friends and family.
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Brayla and her sweet husband were to our fur baby Brandy. We were so apprehensive leaving her. Brayla shared pictures and videos of our baby and you could just see the love and joy. We were even afraid she wouldn’t like being back at our boring house after bringing her home…..Lol. I highly recommend Brayla. She’s the best. What a great feeling it is to go away on vacation knowing your precious fur baby is loved and taken care of. ❤️‼️. Karen and Bill Needy.
This pet sitting service has been nothing short of perfect for me and my husky. I have taken my puppy here for several months now about 3 times a week & would take her everyday if I could. Anytime we have had unexpected situations and need to leave our dog here, we have been able to and were welcomed with open arms. Brayla has done such a great job & will make sure your animal is happy all the time. I HIGHLY recommend!!
My pup Bowser LOVED going to Spark-N-Bark! He will definitely be going back when we need daycare again. He is a high energy dog and was wonderfully worn out by the time I picked him up everyday. It was super good for him. The owner was super nice and even adjusted her drop off time to work with my schedule. Amazing. Bowser can’t wait to go back! ❤️
Goose LOVES going to daycare!! He’s been going here since he was 3 months old and Brayla has watched him grow up and has loved him ever since. She treats all of the dogs like they are her own! She is always contacting me about how Goose is doing there and sends me tons of goofy pics of my sweet boy! 10000/10 recommend.
