Dog Sitters in Carp

I was delighted to find Furry Friends for my Cairn Terrier. I know my girl needed extra work but came out healthier and happier. Check out the before and after pictures.

Chantal is the best, my Buddy (cat)loves her. She loves her furries, n prices are fair n her services are a 5 star

My Jake got groomed here by Sem who did a fabulous teddy cut on him. Very detail-oriented and friendly service. Can't wait to see his look at his next grooming appt !

I take my moms dog, Victor, here every few months since she isn’t able to and they are all friendly, attentive people even though they seem very busy. He is very difficult and skittish when if comes to grooming and they handle him like a champ. He always leaves happy as you can see, haha.

We have been bringing our golden doodle puppy to Furry Friends for her grooming since she was 3 months old and cannot recommend them enough. Their puppy groom package was the perfect way to get our pup comfortable with being groomed. She is always so excited to go to the shop and loves being around the staff, and they have always done a wonderful job caring for her. My partner and I always remark on how great she looks after her appointment. Chantal and her staff have always been so professional and accommodating. You can really tell how much they love the animals they work with. Furry Friends is definitely worth checking out.

I will start out and say that the groomer really really meant well and the nail trim was done nice and short…she was friendly, and truly seemed to love my dog- It was just a loud chaotic experience from start to end. Wouldn’t recommend for nervous/squirmy dogs especially small breeds. The lady was VERY loud when meeting my dog and communicating with me. It made my dog evidently nervous and she didn’t adjust her body language or tone what so ever. My dog growled at her to my surprise As it’s never happened in 2 years of going monthly elsewhere many different groomers- especially never seen that during introductions. She used XL nail scissors on my 3lb chihuahua and would hold my dogs paw and flip it over on a very uncomfortable angle. Not letting go despite lots of squirming and yelping to the point I was worried my dog would injure herself. And ok as dramatic as my chihuahua can get I saw the position she’d hold her legs for what felt like extended periods of time between clipping, and held tight in that position without letting go as my dogs squirming. I offered to just call it off multiple times during the trim just because I’ve never witnessed my dog in that state of panic at a trim.

Comedically bad haircut/grooming of our border collie. Inconsistent hair lengths everywhere, large portions around her neck and rear are almost shaved off completely. Her coat went from full and soft to thin and wiry. Would not recommend.

We have been using Furry Friends for years. Recently we brought them a new breed whose fur mats easily. The dog was sheared so closely her skin is now visible through what remains of her fur. We are just learning about this breed but both my partner and I were publically berated by the owner for not grooming our dog properly. Yes, the owner is right, but shaming customers in front of others is unacceptable. We will no longer take our dog there and an owner with the same breed may do the same. Our dog is onlt 10 months old and it is taking her a long time to recover from the shearing she received. Never again😡

Archie had his first ever full out grooming appointment here! I know he must have been nervous but they said he was calm and gentle throughout the process. He’s a silly mixed breed with a double coat, and needs expert care. He looks amazing and we know he’s feeling lighter and brighter heading into the warmer months. We will be coming back here for all of our regular grooming appointments 🐾🐶 Enjoy the before (on pavement) and after photos! He can see!

I brought my extremely fair-tempered cat in to get the full service (shampoo, deshedding), including trimming his nails. When I got home, my cat had bloody paws and upon closer inspection he had at least 3 nails that were left bloody and sore (see attached photos). He is very easy going and trusting so to see him treated this way was very upsetting for us. He’s been trimmed twice before by 1 other groomer in Ottawa and was never returned to us like this. When we spoke to the owner on the phone, she blamed the injuries on our cat and said he must have done them to himself. We said we would have liked to have been warned that this happened but she said she “did not notice”. This is not normal after a grooming appointment. We will not be returning.

Great place. Too bad they are slowly closing

The absolute best dog daycare ever. Dexter has been going since he was 6 months old. He used to go to give me a break - now he goes because it's his happy place. The staff are amazing and the dogs love their social time. I don't know what I'd do without Stephanie and her gang.

Unleashed staff are very friendly and know how to take care of a pack of dogs! Very clean daycare and I never worry about my guy when I take him. And…they take sweet photos of your pet on holiday occasions! Highly recommend!

Excellent staff and very knowledgeable about proper dog behavior for play on groups. Dogs are constantly monitored and the staff loelve each and every one of them. There are sectioned off areas and safe play areas. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because there is no outdoor play area. The dogs are taken out on leash, for bathroom breaks.

Very happy with this daycare service. I took my 8 month old PWD pup in for his first visit and temperament assessment. He slept in the next day and was noticeably calmer - it was great. And it was so nice knowing that he go to visit with other dogs and have a great day while there. We will be using the service again! :D

When my poodle was just a puppy I took him here several times a week for daycare when I could not come home at lunch to give him a bathroom break. The ladies that work here are awesome and truly love dogs. They were great with him and he loved going. For my dog, it was REALLY helpful for house breaking and socializing him with other dogs. He was so timid and scared of other dogs before this he could not pass one on the sidewalk without shaking and crying but now he loves to meet and play with other dogs. Such a great experience here.

My 11 month old Doodle went in for a grooming 21 days after being neutered. I mentioned to be careful around his recently healed incision. I checked his area the morning before dropping him off and after picking him up I realized a big red welt next to his area. What’s even more aggravating about them not taking extra care near his sensitive area was the fact they didn’t mention it to me. They chose to not say he got clipped and somehow thought I wouldn’t notice? Extremely unprofessional, careless and unbelievable conduct to sweep it under the rug. Do not use this groomer.

Amazing! They are always so friendly, and attentive to our puppy who has been going since he was just 4 months. They send us photos of him at day care and call us to check in on him when he is sick/got neutered - they clearly care. They are very flexible and adaptable to our ranging schedule. Just #pawesome (hahah) Thanks Unleashed!

I could not recommend the Unleashed crew more. They always take such great care of June and I can leave her in their care with peace of mind. They go above and beyond and they send Christmas cards as a personal gift at the end of the year. If you need a dog daycare in the West end, this is the place to go!

I have brought my Yorkie to unleashed many times. He is old. The girls there are terrific. He always looks amazing when I pick him up. He is not at all scared, quite content. Would recommend unleashed.

The only place I trust with my dog. Everyone is great and I get to geek out with the staff and talk dogs when I pick up my boy! Our boy is so excited to go and so tuckered out when he gets home. They screen well for temperament and ensure the dogs get along.

Dogs love going and are always tired when they come home. Jenn is good about giving advice with our puppies with different milestones. Really like how the fenced play area is shaded and has plants and trees for the dogs.

Extremely happy with the work Jenn is doing here. Our dog has been to many different kennels, but this is the first one she's really gotten comfortable at. We've tried others where our dog was basically just left to run around, or the attention paid was minimal. Here Jenn helped us determine why our dog got so stressed at kennels and helped us work with our dog to improve her behaviour. Our dog loves going to see Jenn now, and we feel safe leaving her under Jenn's care.

We are so lucky to have found this place. Jenn is devoted, friendly, and professional. She understood our dog's behaviour right away and she helped us working on her separation anxiety over time. She offers a more familiar setting than other kennels. The only fenced area is in her backyard (acres of woods!). A true gem!

Fantastic place. The dogs get a giant fenced in area that is in the woods for them to run and play. The owner seems to know her business very well. We felt our dog was well taken care of. Will definitely return

Best place ever.

We love Jadzia. We have a very hyper Mini Australian Shepherd puppy who loves every visit at Jadzia's Pet Care and really loves socializing there. Jadzia is very flexible and accommodating every time and works with our schedules. Our puppy loves to play with the other dogs there, and we love getting updates and photos of her having a blast! She can be a handful for us, but Jadzia is so great with her. It is clear that Jadzia is very knowledgeable, confident and comfortable with dogs, and we know our puppy is in good hands and will have a blast! She comes back to us happy, tired, and we get a few hours to ourselves. We highly recommend Jadzia's Pet Care.

Jadzia was amazing with pet sitting our fur babies. She kept our dogs engaged and comfy. It’s great to know your pets are in good hands and you can be worry free when using her services. We highly recommend everyone use her services.

Jadzia has been taking care of our pets for the past 4 years, and they (and us) absolutely love her. Our dog is quite the handful, but she knows how to work with her. We joke that she loves Jadzia more than us, but there is a lot of truth in that. She also takes very good care of our older cat. Jadzia is trustworthy and always puts the health and well-being of our pets as her top priority. She’s also done countless favors for us because she is an incredibly kind and generous person. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets as if they were her own fur babies.

Jadzia is an outstanding, patient, kind, caring and responsible pet care giver. My husband and I were nervous to leave our 5-year old indoor cat Melody for the 3 weeks we were away, as she was used to having just the 2 of us around regularly. That quickly subsided as daily visits and pictures of Melody enjoying lots of play time with Jadzia and her co-cat-care giver Robin brought us joy and relief. When we came home, we found that Melody's behaviour was even more playful than before we left! I completely trust and highly recommend Jadzia and her team's services and would not hesitate to leave her in Melody's care again, short or long term. Exceptionally good pet care.

Jadzia is always my first choice when I'm travelling and can't bring my dog, Viva, as she provides a welcoming, fun home-away-from-home for animals. She clearly cares about all of the animals in her care, and takes pains to get to know them and your preferences for their care. I feel absolutely safe knowing that Viva is with Jadzia and Jim, and love receiving texts from Jadzia with photos and funny stories that keep me up to date on Viva's vacation. 100% recommend!

Jadzia has been a cat sitter providing daily visits for my little one on several occasions. Whether I was just leaving for a week or for over a month, she has taken the best care of my cat. She is very quick with communication and always reliable. I also really appreciate how she keeps me updated by emailing me pics of my cat after every visit. Can't recommend her services enough!

I have a rescue dog who is very anxious and sensitive to new people and places. I was worried when trying to find someone I could trust with my girl. Jadzia has helped me tremendously with Angel for about 10 months when I first reached out to her as a dog-walker. Now, my dog and I would consider her a superhero. Her love for my dog and the others is rare to find. She is respectful, very trustworthy, extremely reliable, helpful and knowledgeable. My dog happily would spend any day with Jadzia. She has gotten to make so many other dog friends. I will always recommend Jadzia as the perfect dog walker to others. She’ll always send an update about your dog along with photos, which is an added bonus! I don’t know what we’d do without her!

Jadzia saved our holiday weekend! When we arrived at our hotel late Friday evening and found out we couldn't leave our dog alone in the room we had to come up with an alternate plan. We contacted Jadzia and she agreed to take our dog, Skittles. He had a great weekend at her house! He got to play in her backyard and go to the park with the other dogs she was caring for. Jadzia sent us pictures throughout the day to show us how he was doing. She took great care of Skittles and he was happy (and tired!) when we picked him up each day. We highly recommend Jadzia and will definitely call on her again the next time we're in Ottawa.

Jadzia is fantastic! My dog Abby has separation anxiety, and is usually with me or at doggy daycare when I’m at the office. But there have been a number of times that I’ve had plans where I couldn’t bring Abby with me, or have had to travel for work overnight. Jadzia has been a god-send! She is so good with Abby and sends me updates and pictures every day. She’s diligent with Abby’s medication, and has changed wound dressings for her when needed. I never worry about Abby when she is with Jadzia. Jadzia is very knowledgeable and totally understands Abby’s anxiety issues. Abby loves going with Jadzia and the other dogs for walks and just loves lounging on Jadzia’s couch! For anyone looking for a a professional, reliable, knowledgeable person to care for their pet, Jadzia is the best option. 10/10 - HIGHLY recommend!!

Jadzia has watched my dog Charlie many times while I am away and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He has so much fun staying at Jadzia’s where he is meeting other dogs, going to the dog park and spending time with her dog Loki who is such a calm sweet dog. Jadzia always sends photo updates of Charlie playing, snuggled on the couch or awaiting treats. He has food allergies and sometimes requires medication - Jadzia has been so accommodating of his extra needs and takes the best care of him while I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter for Charlie.

If I could bring T&T out west with me I would. I’ve tried MANY boarding facilities around Ottawa, but once I found trails and trails I never went anywhere else. If you’rea crazy dog mom like me, then you’ll appreciate the daily photos that get posted to Facebook where you can see your dog having the best time ❤️ Tampa is a big mommas girl and doesn’t like leaving me, but when we would get to trails and trails she would happily go off with whoever was taking her in and would barely even look back at me 🥲 she trusted them so much and so did I! She made so many new friends and came home happy and tired. One of the saddest things about moving is going to be not being able to bring her to tails and trails anymore, and I will be hard pressed to find anyone as great with Tampa again.

Our Pup seems to have had a fantastic weekend at Tails and Trails. The ladies who work there were all amazing, fun and welcoming. They took care to ensure they understood any special instructions. The daily pictures are a nice touch, and our Pup came back tired and happy!

Pretty upset about the stance these guys took today. After returning from my trip late the night before, I was 15 minutes late and they decided it was unacceptable enough to tell me my dog could never return. While another customer was just picking up their dog as well. I’ve spent almost $1400 in the last month here, and yes I’m not perfect and picking up my dog, but I pay for it with late fees. Which is what they’ve designed into their fees in case this happens. And I happily paid it. Not happy at all, never had this issue anywhere else. I’ll happily bring my dog somewhere else.

If I could have left a zero star review I would have. I left my dog at Tails & trails there Wednesday evening and the plan was to come back at Friday at 3pm. The reasoning for leaving my fur baby was I was undergoing a surgery in Ottawa and would have been gone for a couple of days. I got out on the Friday morning and only had a ride to drive me to grab my dog that Friday. I showed up a couple hours before hand at 1:15pm and as I arrived there were two employees at the front desk and the front doors were open so I walked in and asked if I was able to grab my dog now. The lady at the front desk was extremely nice and said she would have no problem with it as it would only take two seconds to get him out from the kennel but would have to call her boss as she is only the store manager, and she said she totally understood because of how severe my surgery was and was not able to drive and my only driver I had was able to drive me now. Katie the owner got on the phone with me and was extremely rude, and not sympathetic to my current condition. I could see if I was being inconsiderate and just showed up demanding things but thought they would forgive my current state as I could barely walk and was in very bad shape. My dog absolutely smelt of urine. And had an awful stench or picking him up and they said since I was basically an hour and a half early they had to charge me and other full day of service. I would highly suggest Katie start treating her clients with a little more respect, being polite and having some sympathy towards her clientele. Do better and I will make sure the few people I know that go there will not be going there anymore. Do better !!

We are so happy there is a boarding kennel close to us that we trust, and isn’t exorbitantly expensive. Both our dogs have enjoyed their time at Tails and Trails and come home happy and worn out. When we pull up to their driveway, there is no hesitation to go in and start their boarding experience. The daily Facebook photos are a big bonus. It is nice to be able to see our dogs mingling with their new friends. We are very happy with their services.

We are so happy to have found Tails & Trails! Our pup is shy and can be quite nervous in new situations. The team at Tails & Trails have showered him with love and helped him grow his confidence. He just wrapped up a 2 week boarding stay and he made so many friends during his time there. We loved the daily photos and the option for email updates. So grateful to the whole team for taking such good care of Snug!

Tails and Trails took great care of our cat April once again while we were on holidays, including taking her to the vet for a minor issue and providing her with the follow-up medication. This is the 3rd time that we have boarded April at Tails and Trails. We have been pleased with the care provided to April and with the daily pictures that Tails and Trails provides of the pets that board at the facilities.

I’ve been boarding my difficult Boxer & my Collie mix with them for the last few years. They aren’t the easiest dogs to deal with but they treat them like family and my dogs enjoy visiting. They were great when I had to extend their stay by a week and very accommodating. My Boxer hurt her ear when she stayed once and they notified me right away and took good care of it. I’m happy I have somewhere I can trust to look after them

When I am looking at their menu how are they charging to give them a treat and a hug ??? I found other kennels who includes this in a much lesser price per day . Spare your money and look around . They can give them them gold in the world , having this price strategy tells me you are in only for the money not for the love of pets and that is the most important treat a kennel must display . Charge to send me a photo and updates ? Ughh … Also see their response to Rustin below . A person gets out from the hospital comes to grab the dog and the personnel was at lunch time . I mean really ? Who does that to a person that was just in the hospital ? Lunch is more important???? Get or attitude somewhere else !!!

The staff here really do take great care of your pets. Whenever I turn on the road towards their location, my dog goes ballistic. Also, they sometimes take care of my cat. You need to understand that the cat is a real jerk and does not like people. They manage him quite well.

I reached out to Andrew’s dog care business to inquire about services for our dog. I was surprised when Andrew refused to have a voice conversation, insisting on electronic communication only. This policy wasn’t mentioned anywhere on his website, which made the situation unexpected and confusing. If you got so angry about a phone conversation then why didn't your website say anything about a process? What I found most frustrating was that Andrew seemed to expect me to already understand how his process worked, despite there being no detailed information on his website about the business operations. I believe it's unreasonable to discuss booking dates without first understanding how a service works, and also to see if our dog fit with Andrew . Unfortunately Andrew only wanted to talk about dates. A dog is like a child. When I asked for a conversation to clarify things, Andrew’s reaction felt erratic and disproportionate to a simple request. I even tried to be accommodating, I asked if there was anything I could do to reassure him and was offering to write everything down if that made him more comfortable, but his unwillingness to engage in a basic conversation left me feeling uncomfortable. I’ve never encountered a business that refuses to speak directly with clients over something as important as pet care. Andrews behavior was completely rude and unnecessary. We weren't asking Andrew to go above and beyond what is reasonable for a situation like this. Because of this experience, people should think twice about contacting Andrew.

We love Tippy Taps! I'm so glad I found home based care for our dog. Tippy Taps is easy to deal with, updates you throughout the day with texts and pictures, and takes great care of our dog. Pretty sure our dog Lady enjoys going to see them too as she never seems upset when I leave, and always smiling when I pick her up. I never feel bad leaving her with them. We'll forever use Tippy Taps.

Andrew is very professional and positive! We left our dog Charlie with him and his own furry friend Malachite for a weekend as we headed off for a trip outside of the city. Andrew was super friendly with Charlie and kept us informed each day with tons of photos and messages! When we picked Charlie up he was super happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend Tippy Taps Barrhaven for all of your pet care needs. Also best part is they only do private pet care which means your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve! Thank you Andrew and Malachite for making Charlie feel safe and happy!

I’d give ten stars if I could! We left our Aussie shepherd pup Boone in the care of Andrew this past weekend and he had the BEST time. Everything about our experience with Tippy Taps was so positive, Andrew was so thorough and patient with me, going over all the details and taking time for a meet and greet before I dropped Boone off. His love of animals is evident and I immediately felt at ease and reassured knowing Boone would be in caring hands. Andrew kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and texts and I felt great seeing that Boone was having just as much fun (if not more fun!) than we were having. Boone can’t wait to go back - it’s safe to say we’re clients for life❤️

As with most dog owners we are always hesitant to try someone new with our dogs. We have 2 Bostons, 14.5 and 9 yo, so they are pretty set in their ways. Andrew was accommodating and completely on top of things with our oldest, who just started taking medications. He stayed in our home while we were away for a week and took care of that too. He kept us up to date on all things Boston, and when there was a question he made sure to find out. They clearly loved their time with him given we got the silent treatment when we got back. Always a great sign they were well cared for. I will not hesitate to use Andrew (Tippy Taps Barrhaven) again and will certainly tell everyone about their 5 star experience. Brodie and Dazzler are looking forward to our next trip, so they can get spoiled again. Thank you.

Andrew is an excellent person and a professional pet sitter. He took care of our two cats for almost a month. Every day he updated us about the cats status and sent us pictures of them, they always looked happy and relax with him around. I definitively recommend him for taking care of your pets.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Wyatt and Cristina from Priority Pets. Wyatt took care of my cats through house visits and Cristina took care of my dog. My wife and I were gone for 2 weeks but we were given constant updates from both of them that showed that the pets were well taken care of. I’m very happy with the service provided and I’m fully confident I can trust my pets with them again in the future.

Treated my cat very well, would definitely book again! I got updates regularly, pictures sent to me and on social media. You can trust your animal with them!

We attended this daycare for a few months and unfortunately decided to go elsewhere after we picked our dog up three times in a row and she had new bloody scabs on her from “scuffles” she had with other dogs. One incident was not reported to us and we had to bring it to the daycare owners attention who was unsure how that happened… I understand dogs don’t always get along with other dogs etc. But to have this happen three times in a row in such a short time was slightly alarming. When we brought it up with the owner, they very briefly attempted to work with us to resolve the issue but shortly after that we found somewhere else. I do think it’s important to note our dog is 7 years old, has been to other daycares and boarding facilities and dog parks and has never gotten into a fight when we are with her - we had concerns about how much the dogs were being watched while at this daycare. Again, I do understand situations arise and a one time deal would have been understandable. But three “scraps” in a few months made us uncomfortable returning.

These guys are awesome. My beagle Abigail has her second home there. She always has a great time and comes home happy and tired! Andrew and Marie take the best care of Abbey and I never worry when she is in their hands. Facilities are great and unlike other kennels where your dog is let out twice a day these dogs get to play inside and out all day long. Place is spotless and lots of happy dogs tells me lots of happy owners. Highly recommended. Been going for 2 years, never a complaint.

Andrew is a total dog whisperer - instinctive knowledge of how dogs think. He vets prospective clients to make sure a dog is going to be a good fit for the pack. Beautiful set up with his backyard totally dedicated to a dog playground. A fun way for your dog to spend the day!

I love bringing my dog Monty here! Total Dog Care offers the entire package: they offer grooming, dog training and day care. Monty comes home tired every time. I have told all my friends about Andrew and Marie and the love and care they take with Monty, if you aren't taking you furry friend to them you are missing out!

I have been bringing my dog Oreo (husky-lab mix) to Total Dog Care since it opened. I love the attention that is paid to the dog's behaviour. They are monitored constantly and I am advised of any peculiar behaviour that he demonstrates during the day. I also appreciate the photos and videos that are posted to Facebook throughout the day so that I could see Oreo during the day. The owners are trainers and I worked with one of them before the day care opened. I am so thankful for the training which has resulted in a confident and well behaved dog who is good around adult and kids alike. Oreo also gets groomed regularly at Total Dog Care. He always comes back super soft and smelling great. Professional grooming is very helpful for Oreo as he sheds regularly. Finally, I also purchase frozen raw food from them. They have a large selection of food in a variety of sizes. Overall, I highly recommend Total Dog Care for all of your dogs' needs.

Our dog has been going to Total dog care for about 2 months when he started he was shy around other dogs now he is super social and LOVES going to daycare all we have to say is the word and he's out the door! We would highly recommend sending your dog to daycare here! Bonus as well is having him groomed there too!

Andrew is amazing, one of the few people I would trust with my dogs! I always feel 100% comfortable leaving my dogs here and couldn't recommend them more.

Andrew and Marie offer exceptional and professional training and dog daycare services, and much fun for both the pups and owners too. Honourable mentions for Marie's grooming talent.

Friendly owners and reasonable prices. So glad we found this place. It's a huge stress reliever for me knowing that the pooch gets to run around and play with friends while we're at work all day. Highly recommend.

Great place to take your dog. Andrew is awesome. You can even get your dog grommed there while its staying for the day. Highly recommend
