Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
I don’t think we could’ve picked a better sitter than Joe! This was our first time using this website/app, and I can only hope that all of our future sitters will be amazing as he was! He was kind, respectful, attentive, extremely clean, (seriously I think our house was cleaner than when we left for vacation), and took such amazing care of our two dogs! He arrived early on the day of our departure so he could meet our dogs and get a detailed run down of their routine. Both of our dogs warmed up to him immediately! :) One of our pups sometimes has the tendency to be reactive towards other dogs on leash. He handled him so effortlessly and with such compassion, it really put any worries I might’ve had aside. While we were away he sent little updates and pictures of the adventures they went on: farmers markets, car rides, long walks, and lots of pets and cuddles. After he left both of our dogs sat out side his room and just looked so sad that their new friend Joe had gone away. I honestly can’t recommend Joe enough! If you are looking for someone, your search should end here!
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
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!!

Kim is wonderful! She watches over my two cats often and I can always trust that they’ll be happy and safe. She goes above and beyond to make sure the litter box area stays clean, and she provides details about every visit through the app she uses. Thank you Kim!
Kim has been taking care of our two kitties for years. We love Kim and more importantly, our kitties love her. We never worry when we are out of town. Kim is dependable, caring and attentive. And some of the best photos of our kitties have been taken by Kim during her visits. You will be very happy with Kim's services. We are so glad we found her!
Kim is amazing! She went above and beyond for my malinois, Zara. She sent text and photo updates each visit, and I was able to feel at peace on my trip knowing Zara was taken care of. Thanks to Kim, Zara was calm and happy when we arrived back home. :)
Kim and Debora are fantastic! They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared for my pet. My dog seemed so happy and well-cared-for upon my return. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
We love Kim and her associate Dean! They take such wonderful care of our pets. I love the communication we receive about their visits and the cute photos they capture. My dog and cat love them so much and I have such peace when I am away for my babies being cared for! We are new to the area in the last year and feel as if we hit the jackpot with Furrbabies!
Kim does a fantastic job taking care of our pets. She send daily updates of how each was doing, including pictures, and confirmed each completed appointment in her app. She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and clearly cared for my dogs and cat. It was comfortable leaving Kim in charge of their well being.
We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Kim and Debora were fantastic. There’s a difference between “thinking” about your pets and “worrying” about your pets when you travel. We didn’t have to worry about them at all. The app, visit updates, and pictures were so cool. Highly recommend.
Kim and her associate, Christine, have taken such wonderful care of my two dogs! I love that they keep me updated on how the pups are doing and send pictures during their visits. I feel so at ease knowing my pups are in good hands while I’m away. I highly recommend Kim if you’re looking for a pet sitter!
I had the best experience with Kim! My dogs took to her quickly and she was wonderful with them. She let me know when she was arriving and leaving from each visit and sent pictures with updates so I knew how they were doing. She’s professional, responsive and made everything very easy for me. I’m so glad to have found someone I can trust with my pets and in my home and would recommend her to anyone!
Kim is outstanding! One of our two elderly cats is diabetic, and Kim comes twice a day to give him his injections when we are away. She sends pictures at each visit, and sends updates about the kitties. She cleans up their messes, leaving everything immaculate when we return. It’s great to know our pets are loved and well cared for when we’re gone. The cats love her, and I highly recommend her!
My Rosie has been going to daycare at Vetted K9 three days a week since she was about 5 months old. All I need to say to her in the morning is "Want to go see your friends?" and she knows that she is going to daycare. Socialization has always been a priority since we adopted her from a 10 pup rescue litter and there is no better place than Vetted K9 that I trust to care for my baby. Jeff is always willing alto take the time to make reservations for me because I always have a hard time with the app, it's operator error and not the apps fault. 😀 I'd give Vetted K9 10 stars if I could...Jeff and wife truly care about the pups as they were their own. 🥰
Vetted K9 is the BEST! Our two pups love spending the day with their friends running and playing at daycare! They are both cared for so well and are worn out when they get back home. You can tell that Jeff, the owner, truly loves dogs. We also love the photos that are posted online during their stays; it allows me to keep up with them!
I boarded my puppy here for two weeks, which included one week of training. When she returned, she was much calmer and knew all the tricks listed on his website! Jeff also posts the dogs on his Facebook multiple times a day, every day, and he always answers the phone when you call. :) 🩷 …
We found this wonderful place because Florida Wild closed their play dates. We were so fortunate to find Vetted K9. Jeff and their family/team are great with the dogs. Our Bella is so happy and we are Too!
We have been boarding our Shepherd at Vetted K9 for over two years now. There is nowhere else better to board your pet. They take great care of her and she loves going to Vetted K9. Jeff also did training with her when she was a puppy.
Jeff has helped our cavapoo puppy tremendously! Waffles completed the one week board and train and came home with lots of new skills. The boarding facility is clean and the online booking system is professional and easy to use. We would recommend Vetted K9 to any of our friends with furry family members!
I love taking my dogs here for boarding, I know they really love their time spent here, they always come home happy and wore-out. I'm so happy I found vetted K9, they do dog boarding differently. Most places we checked out would only let our dogs out 3 times a day from the hours of 8a-5p. Our dogs are used to going out several times a day from 6a-11p. Vetted k9 let's then out several times a day and for extended hours, which I really appreciate. They post pictures on Facebook of the dogs, which let's me know they're having a great time and being well taken care of. I will continue to take my pets here without hesitation!
We dropped one dog off for two week training. She did okay but was scared. A month later we boarded both dogs. They were well taken care of. They posted photos on social media for us to keep watch. The owner is very knowledgeable and was very helpful.
My pup LOVES it here! Jeff really loves these dogs and I feel my pup is very safe. Facility is clean and check in and out is a breeze!
Hands down, the best place to leave your dogs if you want them cared for and socialized. No better trainer, boarder or daycare.
First time there, and based on cleanliness, friendliness, and calm relaxed temperament of my dog after 9 day stay, I'd say I'm pretty happy and will go back and use their services again. I would give 5 stars if they gave our dog the chance to play with other dogs. Still very happy, but the answer will be how excited Bentley is next time I pull up to drop him off. If he likes the place, he'll be very excited to get there and get out of the truck.
I have planned for my pet Coco to stay with you for so long and feel so confident and excited about your service that I still cannot believe that after calling you and confirming the reservation again the place was CLOSED. No One told me that I have to be there at a certain time or that you closed at 3 pm. Another thing that I don't understand is how there would be no one there if it was a Pet Resort. Who takes care of the pets? None no sense to me... So disappointed!
Fantastic people who will love your animals so much! I've been taking my 2 year old dog here for about a year and they have consistently provide great care for him.
This place is awesome! Our dogs come home, happy, healthy and clean, no matter how long they stay. The vets and vet techs care and take good care of our fur babies. The facility is immaculate and we are grateful for their expertise. Highly recommend!
Got an appt for Sassy Ann's 3 night stay at the last moment The staff were excellent with all the intake setup for the short stay. They were just as efficient and friendly picking up my precious pup. We have used their kennel/spa services several times and all were GREAT! Keep Up The Good Work Ladies! Love you, Sassy Ann
I needed a last minute place for my cat to spend the night and came across this resort. From the moment I walked in I felt very welcomed by staff. The resort is incredibly clean with many different suites to choose from for your dogs and cats. My cats suite wasn't a cage which made me very happy. She had a 3 floor cubical suite that was cat friendly by the sun. Each suite had a vent and a HEPA filter. You can tell the staff genuinely are passionate about animals and keeping them happy and safe. I called after hours to see how my cat was doing and got a prompt call back with reassurance. They follow medication instructions, they trimmed my cats nails and they even give you a report card to let you know how your animals stay went which was so cute. If I could give this place more stars I would. I would recommend this place to anyone with pets who are going away and would use again. Thanks so much for your hard work ladies!
So I picked up my dogs earlier and upon bringing them home they were much lighter. I thought well maybe it just me I haven't held them in my arms for a hot minute. Well I went to feed them like I do every evening and unlike them they RAN to there food when I put it down. It was gone within minutes. Now one of my dogs has very thin hair and I could actually feel and see her ribs when I couldn't when I dropped them off. The other has long hair so I can't see her ribs. But I can definitely feel how thin she is now.
My puppy was clean going in and clean coming home. I got photos of him playing outside. He was so happy and I will be using VCA Deland Pet Resort again. Our puppy deserves to be in great hands. Thank you VCA Feland Pet Resort. Thanks Darla!
Use to take my girl here for daycare when I first got here- their kennels are wonderful, they have inside and outside play areas that are great! The staff is so caring, very compassionate, and ADORED Fergie! She was always so excited to go to daycare every morning and see Ariel walkin up to the car to come get her. This place is truly amazing!
I took my dog here when I first adopted him. Since I was new to the area I forgot the name of this place. I loved the way they treated my pup and was upset to have lost such a great location for my pet. When I was looking for a boarding place because I had an emergency to leave, I found them again. I use them for my pet boarding and made sure I don't lose this place again.
I have peace of mind when Ashley comes to take care of Zeeva. & Bryson. She tells me about the visit and sends several photos so I can see how they are. I HIGHLY recommend Central Florida Complete Care, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking.
Ashley has watched Rex for 2 years now & counting (since we've moved to FL). That was the best decision I've ever made!! I cannot recommend Central Florida Complete Critter Care enough!! Ashley & her team have gone ABOVE & BEYOND!! Not only have I found someone that loves my dog more than me, but have also found someone that provides MORE loving care & attention for him too!! We are BOTH so grateful that we found Central Florida Complete Critter Care & you will too!!
I highly recommend Ashley & her mom with Central Florida Complete Critter Care, Pet Sitting and Walking! Our two cats Kahn and Egon love when they come by and give them all the pets and love while we are away. The updates and multiple photos we receive help put us at ease that our cats are in great hands! Thank you for always going above and beyond for our babies!
We used this company to look after our 3 cats in our home while we traveled out of state for a week. Their website was very easy to use to provide details about our cats and instructions on how to care for them. I was also able to request our desired dates for catsitting and pay our invoice through the website. Ashley did a great job caring for our pets and sent us daily updates through text. Our cats are very shy but she was still able to take pictures of them to send us, which gave me peace of mind that they were doing well. We have an unusual setup at home with specific instructions on how to feed the cats, and Ashley did everything perfectly. She also brought in the mail for us and kept feeding and litter areas clean. This company and Ashley are spectacular and I would 100% trust them with my home and fur babies again. If you live in the area, I would highly recommend using this service to care for your pets for any needs.
Great communication, pictures, and follow up including phone app so you know when they are with your pets. A1 care from a family company who are trustworthy animal loving people who care for your pet. I have scheduled and used their expertise pet sitting, feeding and walking services since Oct 2022 and they always make sure they can calendar you in so your pets are well taken care of. Always care, give time, feeding and loving to our doodle, lab and poodle. Thank you!
I feel very comfortable going out of town knowing my fur babies will be well cared for. Ashley is caring and let's me know j how they're doing with pictures and video. I am very happy with their service!
Ashley and Anna were so good to our cats while we were on vacation. Our little "kiddos" got the loving care they needed and were able to be comfortable at home and not lonely. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
This is a fantastic company with loving and caring professionals that treat your pets with love. They are very reliable, and their communication is top notch. You don't have to worry about your pet being in good hands. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
Ashley and her team are amazing! Being able to leave our pets in the comfort of their own home was a top priority when we went on vacation. After meeting Ashley and her team we knew they were the ones to help us out. We so appreciated them sending us pictures and videos of our pets during each visit. If you need this service, look no further! They are the “angels” you need to save the day! We will definitely be using their services again in the future!
I can’t thank Kelly and her team enough for being our pet sitters when we are out of town! We have used them twice and they have been there for us and our pups! Their communication is amazing and you get lots of updates with pictures and videos. Our last request was a few days before leaving and Ashley was there to take on 5 animals for us. We are so thankful!
Sherry is an amazing and very responsible pet care professional. She provides regular dog walking service for me as I work extended hours regularly. She has a keen eye for suggesting health concerns to watch out for.
Sherry Fox knows how to handle dogs well. Very nice lady.
I left a voicemail and no one ever called me back.
cute, never heard of him
as usual, never heard of him
I have no idea who this is. I have never watched his animals by that name. Must have the wrong person.
Teresa Birge is the quintessential lover of dogs! From the moment she walked into our home for the meet and great, we knew she had the Midas touch. We have left our Springer Spaniel and American Foxhound with Teresa several times. Each time has been a very special time because she passed out love to them like cookies. They love their Auntie Teresa!
Teresa is FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend her. You will not find any one more caring, trustworthy, and reliable for your fur babies. My husband and I were out-of-town for a week. We did not feel comfortable boarding our dogs and decided to find an in-home pet sitter. Teresa came highly recommended. She came to our house twice before we left on our trip to sit and play with the dogs. That gave us great comfort knowing they were going to be in EXCELLENT hands. We are very thankful for Teresa and will only use her in the future. Daytona Canines Pet Sitting Service is a wonderful asset to the Daytona community. Call her today!! Susan V , Daytona Beach, Florida
Teresa was absolutely incredible with our 2 miniature dachshunds! She sent many photos and videos throughout the day to keep us posted with how our dogs were doing. She was so kind on the phone and in person, and really made it an easy decision when it came time to pick a pet sitter for the day and overnight! Highly recommend Daytona Canines Pet Sitting and Teresa to anyone in the area looking for a great, loving, caring pet sitter!
You will not find a better petsitter than Teresa! She is just wonderful and is so loving and caring. She treated our dogs like they were hers, with hugs and kisses and gentle kindness. She sent us pictures and updates four times a day, and kept a daily log of their activities including outdoor play, potty regularity, eating habits, and indoor fun. We could tell that our two dogs were happy, healthy, and well-cared for, and that allowed us to have a worry-free vacation. I highly recommend her if you need a petsitter, she is simply the best.
Theresa and her husband are wonderful! My dogs have been staying for the day or an overnight stay for over a year now. She also has come to my home to walk them when I have been away. My dogs love going to stay at their home. I feel assured knowing they are in good hands. She really cares. She sends pics to update you while you are away, and takes great care of my fur babies when I am gone. One of my two dogs are skiddish around new people, she offered to meet her before the first stay just so she would be more comfortable the first time I left. It definitely helped, now both of my dogs love it when they go to their home. I can not say enough great things about them, thank you so much for all that you do!
Teresa is an absolutely lovely lady and my Bear came home a happy pup. 100% would recommend her to anyone that needs their dog to be sat. She sends picture updates if the dogs will calm down enough and genuinely cares about other people's pets. Such a great woman.
I have been using Teresa’s services for quite some time now. Whether it is scheduled or calling her last minute (which I’m notorious for) she is always there for my girls. They LOVE her. Teresa and/or her husband don’t just come over, let them out and leave. They spend time with them and play with them, always sends pictures, making sure their food and water are topped off. I know they are in good hands and would recommend her to anyone. She loves all her fur babies. Sandy
What a wonderful, dog loving person Teresa is! We were in town for the races and realized our little dachshund was not happy being left alone. Teresa came and stayed with him, taking him on walks and sent us photos of him while we were away. We could not be happier! She is awesome and we will definitely be using her again. She is the best sitter we have ever had!! Thanks again Teresa!!!❤❤
My dogs love Teresa! She plays with them, she loves on them and she even sleeps with them! I never have to worry about leaving them when Teresa is caring for them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring service.
Theresa is great with animals, she sent daily pictures and kept me well informed! Our 4 cats loved her... Will definitely use her services again in the future. She is very reasonable, cost wise, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent fur-baby sitter!
It's not what it used to be...... They will feed your dogs, let them out (I Think).... Very Unorganized ..... On pick up I had to ask for collars and leahes.... Food & treats.... we had left.... i think they are understaffed for the amount of boarding #'s they are taking in.... 12/23/24- Took our 2 dogs back thinking maybe it was a fluke ........ nope, just as bad and worse.... they are way understaffed and just milking every customer for fees not advertised or told of.... the Exit bath is a joke.... my dogs were given to me like they had just went swimming, smelling like wet Dog.....& $17 each.....what a sham............... asked about food I had left, no asking anybody, said they had eaten it all.....?????. I do not recommend this place....... defiantly a last resort. ... it's a pound operating in disguise...... animal shelters are operated better....... don't walk away from this place. ....... RUN......!!!!!!
My dog spent 6 days there during spring break. They offer play time (and pool time). The staff was very kind and friendly and Maverick was happy when I picked him up. I will definitely be using puppy day care and grooming services soon.
This has been the best place for my German Shepherd, Bentley! He’s just under 1 and he has so much fun every time he goes. They give him lots of attention and he gets to interact with lots of dogs throughout the day. They also have a pool which is great for the summer days so the doggies can cool off from the sun. Their staff truly cares about the dogs, my dog hurt his nail while playing by the pool and I received a call immediately which I thought was awesome, and a couple days after I also received an email following up to see how my puppy was doing and I absolutely loved that! Bentley will definitely keep going back! Oh and also! They take great pictures with backdrops and props! I’m totally obsessed with my puppy’s 4th of July pics! Highly recommend Noah’s Ark if you need somewhere for your dog ❤️
Love how well my two grown german Shepherds are groomed they are in great hands 👌 ♥️ 🐕🦺🦮 …
Just took Buddy for a Nail Trim & Bath. Groomer is there on Mondays & was very thorough & explained everything he did including bath, scrubbed foot pads, nail trim, Brushed teeth, cleaned ears & removed excess hair. Buddy looks & smells Amazing! Great Job! $15 Nail Trim & $21 for Bathing. Friendly Staff & very clean facility on Marsh Road in Deland!
Customer service was terrible the owner talk down to us as we waited 45 mins. We called hours ahead of pick up ahead but walk-in new customers placed in front of the line , subpar not very friendly matter fact and overpriced. Bad experience from a long time customer since 1988 sorry to say will not be back.
I Took my dog to Noah’s Ark because I heard about the pool, it was close by and I didn’t really want her in the lake at the amazing dog park we usually take her to due to the heat possibly affecting the lake. I did question Owner Nathan and office manager London about a review I read about a dog passing from dehydration after going to Noah’s Ark. They advised me that was a 19’year old dog that had to be carried in and was on its way out. My first impression was not the best, it’s not too kept up, the urine wasn’t cleaned from the create in the front when I walked in and the smell was not great. I was told I could not tour without notice to be sure the floors were dry. I decided to give it a 4 hour trial anyway. NEVER again will I go against MY GUT! My dog came back SEVERELY DEHYDRATED, LETHARGIC and not from playing or being tired. From dehydration. My dog was out of it. Her urine color was dark yellow to where it looked like it could have blood in it. All which are signs of sever dehydration. We hydrated her and her vet advised if her urine was still dark in the morning to bring her in. In the morning after hydration through the night, her urine was fine and she was getting back to a mid normal behavior. By afternoon her behavior was totally back to normal. I waited to do a review after trying a different place today. A week later. I tried one I could tour without notice and that has cameras for me to see my dog as she played and how she was. My dog came back from PET PARADISE in Sanford after not 4 but 7 hours! Her urine was normal, her behavior was just as if she’d had a day at the park and she wasn’t out of it. This is when I decided my dog could have died left longer at Noah’s Ark, the dog that did die was most likely as mine and left not checked in and severally dehydrated. PET PARADISE may be a bit further but it told me all I needed to know and it’s well worth the drive. Beautiful pool, great staff and you get to watch your fur baby enjoy their day as well as the staff interact with them and they are checked on to make sure they are drinking through their stay. I will never take my baby to Noah’s Ark again. She still has plenty of life left in her and I want her to enjoy it and not die from Negligence and painfully from being dehydrated. If you love your pup, I suggest you don’t take them to Noah’s Ark. if your gut says this doesn’t look great, listen to it. After your dogs visit watch it. Their pee color says a lot, their behavior is different between tired and lethargic. Watch them close and pay close attention. I wouldn’t suggest Noah’s Ark to anyone and I feel awful my baby had to have that as her first experience and no it wasn’t anxiety as owner Nathan also tried to say. Our vet who is also our sister in law confirmed our baby was dehydrated and neglected. No excuse for it. They say they love dogs, they use to rescue them, they are looking at opening other facilities for them. They need to work on properly taking care of them first before they cause anymore to lose their life.
My dog loves it here! Daycare is amazing, and he has a great day every time he goes!
Would have given 0 stars but it is not possible. I'll be brief: if you value the lives of your pets, DO NOT take them here! To those who are passionate about caring for animals, DO NOT work here! We lost our dog after being rushed to the ER straight from picking her up. Nobody sought medical care to a dying dog laying on the floor unresponsive and barely conscious. Owner Nathan is a charm and his lack of empathy and consideration showed how much he actually cares about these innocent souls. I can just imagine what the owner's version to a review like this will be but in the end dated and timestamped medical documentation has but one version. Embrace your loved furry ones and please spare them and yourselves the suffering of such a hard loss. Research, research, research... You'll find other unfortunate stories... UPDATE 07/14/2023: As expected from an untruthful owner: 1. Dog was 18 but I don't care about age accuracy. All I care is that the dog was handed healthy and responsive with normal weight. The phone call that they allege is also false. We never received any phone calls. 2. I did not call Animal Control, I contacted Animal Services which is my right and I did not accuse the facility of abusing other pets. I accused the facility for neglect and abuse of MY pet. This is also my right and is indeed public record. If Animal Services decided to run an overall inspection, then that's per their own protocols but not per my request as falsely suggested by owner. 3. Animal Services did not ascertain that dog died of natural causes. Again, you want to talk about records I'll gladly provide all records that show and state from the ER itself that the dog was emaciated and dehydrated upon arrival among other very worrisome bodily states. As to her passing away from natural causes, again much facts owner is ignoring. The dog did not die in the ER, the dog die at our family veterinary. Since the family vet did not treat dog upon removal from boarding facility they were not the ones to state dehydration. Again, it was the ER. By the time we got our dog to the family vet we had already hydrated her at the ER and at home for days so of course the family vet had nothing else to add on record than died of natural causes. Would it had died on the ER the assessment would have been very different. 4. Animal Services has their hands tied due to archaic FL laws that regard animals as an object with fair market value at time of death. This accompanied by the fact that they'll investigate up to the effort that they wish to spend. Video cameras are in facility and I had requested to have these reviewed to counter my own claim and prove that dog was taken care of at all times at the designated office space and this was not done, much less handed over for review. Animal Services will not move a finger to get a subpoena for videos for not going through the hassle of establishing probable cause. Let a worker get their salary doing the bare minimum and that's what you'll get. And so, the very simple proof of a dog laying lifeless on the floor captured by their own very cameras is forever kept in the dark. 5. Upon an emergency common sense dictates that you seek medical attention regardless of communication with owner being made. This was never attempted. For anyone interested in all documents and records, including those that the very owner is citing here with untrue statements, feel free to look them up or request them and I'll gladly provide them. As to the great responsiveness of the owner, again, research for yourselves. You'll find plenty of harsh comments made by a person whose lack of manners is evidenced just at first glance. This is not a passion for the owner, its a matter of money so I dedicate myself now to facilities that, while earning a profit, truly care about their pets with care and compassion and whose employees and owners have basic decency, respect, and courteousness.
Wouldn’t recommend this place and definitely won’t take my dogs back. Not only did they close early without letting us know, resulting in us having to board our dogs another night we were not informed about these “exit baths” that they now require. Called and got quoted a price which was inaccurate at checkout.. told 3 employees one of my dogs was under 40 pounds, we got charged for her being over 40 pounds. Also was never told about how we’d be required to pay $15 per dog for a bath that they require because “they want the dogs to go home fresh and nice and clean” I don’t see how any boarding place makes it mandatory to give dogs a bath but seems like it’s just a way to make more money off of people. Also didn’t get told about these baths until I was dropping my dogs off so had no time to look for a different place to board them. Will not be bringing my dogs back here. After reading the response to my review.. we originally were coming back on the 30th and that’s what I told the employees. Not once did they mention closing early due to Memorial Day. Also what good does it do me if the signs for the bath are posted at the facility when I call to book. That is something your employees should be trained.. to inform customers of all costs especially when asking for a price quote. No one wants to be hit with additional charges the day of drop off because guess what! By then it’s too late to find a new place to board. After seeing how the owners reply to negative reviews, it really shows that you guys lack in customer service and I’ll be so happy to never bring my dogs back and to let anyone I speak with know not to come here as well
Keri and Matt did the impossible of cutting and filing my blue heelers nails! The vet wouldn't even do them.
Keri Kare is perfection personified 🐾 “Spencer” and now our new addition twins “Luke & Lily”
I have had several Rescue dogs who were timid. When I take them to Keri's they can hardly wait to rush in to say Hi! And, they come out looking "show ready" groomed. Jake comes home full of love. It's amazing! I love Kathy and Keri. They care about the dogs they serve.
They were able to trim my two dog's nails without an appointment! It was a great experience, even though one of my pups peed on their couch.
I've been using Kari Kares Grooming for several years. My doggie loves going to her. She went in today looking pretty raggy and came out just as cute as Dan be. What I like the best for me is: 1. My dog loves her 2. Cared for lovingly 3. She doesn't rush. Which is perfect for me so I can get some errands done. Highly recommend her.
My dogs have been going to Keri Kares Grooming since they were puppies. They always enjoy going there to see Keri, Kathy, and Matt. They make my dogs feel comfortable and feel like they are with family so they enjoy their time away from home. And they always come home looking so beautiful with their new haircuts.
Always have great experience taking our pets here. I've tried several places since been in this area. Won't take our dogs anywhere else now. Take great care of them .
What I witnessed today was divine power over my terrier dog. He submitted to incredible skill and professionalism. Pittie paws saved. Outstanding
Most amazing groomers ever! Not only are they "real" animal lovers the facility is so spacious and clean!
I have an 18 year old Shih Tzu named Bella. I have been taking Bella and my Chihuahua Lulu to Kari for years and they are so kind, loving, and patient with our old girls, especially Bella. They come back happy and feeling sooo good! Kathy is so helpful and their facility is clean, stress free for the pets, you can really tell that they love every furry child that they groom and love. 💕🐶. I’m so grateful for Kari and Kathy🫶🏻
Our Jack Russell Terrier absolutely loves this place. It’s clean and well managed. They are careful when evaluating dog’s social skills. Large and small dogs have separate play areas. They have special events for the pups. Below is Dakota’s holiday picture they took. I recommend Hounds Town Deland to my neighbors and those looking for a playful experience for their dogs.
Staff was very friendly and inviting during drop off. The play area and private rooms are well designed and flattering. My only complaint is they have no outdoor area for the dogs to use the restroom. They are forced to go indoors then the staff will clean up after them. If I'm paying for daycare, I want my dog to be able to use the restroom outside.
We loved your facility and are looking forward to boarding the furry member of our family with you at Christmas. We know that you will have Cash's best interest in mind and take phenomenal care of him in our absence. We loved that he'll have interactive play time with other pups and think this socialization will have a great impact on his puppy behavioral traits.
We had our pup evaluated this past Sunday and they let him stay for the day to play. They even included a bath before we picked him up, for training purposes.The staff is very friendly and the facility is clean. Zipite was so excited to go back for his second day there today. He made lots of friends and the staff ensured us he had a great time. He came home tired and happy. We will definitely be back!
I couldn't be more comfortable leaving our fur baby with the incredible staff here. They went above and beyond while boarding our dog and it was so comforting to know they were so well taken care of. We will definitely use them for future boarding needs!
My husband and I had high hopes for this place. Everything seemed nice at first until they put a lead around my bulldogs neck who was already timid during our meet and greet. When we said no do not put anything around her neck you can crush her esophagus, twice, the owner proceeded to argue with us and say we were wrong. Our bulldog had a harness on which she always wears with a leash. I can tell you we are absolutely not wrong being bulldog owners for the last 20 years. After we left the owner proceeded to text us and apologize because he misunderstood what we were saying. If you are going to have a business like this you should know your breeds that you are going to be taking care of at your facility. And, if the owner of the dog asks you not to do something detrimental to their dogs well being please adhere to that request.
1 🌟 After trying to get a hold of this place PRIOR to the storm and after the storm finally rescheduled my dogs evaluation. Showed up to the evaluation, walked in and there were 2 other dogs being checked in and they growled and came to the BROKEN fence at the front at my dog. The guy employee rudely said for us to "step outside" while he is with them. How unprofessional and if dogs did that to my sweet Golden Retriever, why are they accepted there? Will never recommend this place nor return!
Brand new facility, clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Our grand dogs had a great time! Definitely recommend it!
We had a great time at Hounds Town today. Jenny's and Gabby's evaluations went well. Jenny got a pawdicure and met the owners who are extremely nice. We will definitely be back for some playtime with the pack.
Boarded my dog at Houndstown Deland for Thanksgiving and he must have had a blast! He’s still tired and content days later. We’ll be back!
Kathy at Tropical Paws Resort took care of my 3 dogs for 2 weeks while we vacationed in Alaska. She is now my go to sitter and I won’t schedule my vacations until I know that she is available! The care she provides is top notch! She is very friendly and has the best personality! Her resort is set up perfectly for my dogs! They are very comfortable there and have such a wonderful time! I think they like staying at her place more than mine because they always come out to greet me when I pick them up and then want to go back with her! 😊 She sends lots of pictures throughout the stay and it makes us happy to see our dogs have so much fun! Do yourself and your dogs a favor and book with her! You won’t be disappointed and your dogs will come home happy and tired from lots of playtime with her sweet pups!
If you want to know how it feels to leave your beloved pet, go out of town, and completely relax without worry, then Tropical Paws is right for you! The love and attention shown to our pet, and the updates we receive make it so easy to leave our sweet dog. She is so happy at Tropical Paws, and she pouts when we take her home because she misses the other dogs and Kathy, the caregiver. The property is perfect for dogs and very well secured, we don't worry about our dog getting out or running away. Kathy treats our dog like family.
