Dog Sitters in District Municipality Of Muskoka

Brenda has been fantastic! I signed Denver up for pack walks as a way to socialize him in a structured way. He’s been five times now and the whole time Brenda has been really intentional about increasing his comfort level and making sure the interactions are positive. I’m very grateful for her friendly face and caring attitude with my pup! 🐕

Many thanks to Brenda and her team. It is clear they are devoted to the dogs in their care and have a high level of knowledge and expertise. Our dog has stayed with them for both short and long stays.

Monty enjoyed his stay. They were kind and understanding. They took him last minute and were very accommodating

Highly recommend! Jennifer has been caring for my animals for years. They love being with Jen and they trust her. I know they are safe and well cared for. Thank you Jen!!🙏 …

Went there with my 5 month old mini golden doodle. For a visit and potential daycare . (new in town) .. made a play date, got a message owner was sick. Asked to let me know when she was feeling better. Nothing.. I’m assuming she did not want us as a client.. Which is fine.. it’s the un professional way she went about it.

Jennifer does fantastic work, highly recommend.

Elizabeth has been a life saver for us! We added a fourth dog to our home, and then unexpectedly found ourselves crazy busy in our careers. We couldn’t have survived this summer - with a puppy! - without her. My extremely high energy pup comes home exhausted and calm, and she lets my other (older) dogs (who don’t need midday walks) out for some play time when she comes by. She has also done some full day sitting where he gets to play with other dogs more tolerant of puppy play than my other old dogs! Couldn’t be happier!!!!!!! Thanks Elizabeth!!!!!!!

If your looking for somewhere to take your furr baby look no further. Elizabeth is 100% "All about the Dog". It is hard enough balancing work and life. Then there are our beloved furr babies to worry about too. My Millie has been going to see Elizabeth right from a puppy. Millie has always been treated with love like her own, exercised, fed and socialized. I cannot say enough good things. I feel blessed to have found such amazing doggie daycare.❤️

My adopted Lab is a bit wary of new people but immediately warmed up to Elizabeth. Her setup with a huge fenced yard and long walks in the woods and having the dogs in her home means I can leave Martin behind with no guilt. We are so glad she moved to town!

Great place to take your dog, no cages and lots of fenced-in area for them to run and play with other dogs. Elizabeth takes an interest in every dog and gives them plenty of love. Highly recommend that if you are looking for a safe,secure place to take your pet, it's here.

Our dog, Skye, has been staying at Happy Tails since she was a puppy and we can't say enough good things about the care she receives there. It's truly camp for dogs, she has such a good time there as you can tell from the photos taken at Happy Tails and then after when she came home completely tired out from all her adventures! When we pull into the parking lot, she pops up and starts whining, she's so excited to be there and see all her doggy friends. We never worry when she's at Happy Tails, we always know that Skye will be well cared for and won't miss us while we are away. The facility is clean and so well cared for, and the wide open spaces for dogs to run and play are second to none. Thanks, Happy Tails, for providing us with a great space to leave Skye when her humans need to be away.

We have been sending our Airedale(s) to Happy Tails for at least 14 yrs. From puppyhood on until today. Ozzy (now 14yo) has been going there his whole life. It’s definitely his ‘happy place’ . We believe that this open environment is essential for our dogs, because we live in suburbia. They need to run and hang out with other dogs. They come home so balanced and calm (and very tired). It’s an amazing place. Trying to add pictures here.

Lisa and her team of helpers are amazing. Finn is the third dog I have taken to Happy Tails Pet Resort over more than 10 years. They have been very well cared for. They have a blast and come home tired. The facility is clean and care is taken for each dogs individual needs. Look how happy Finn is to be there.

We found Happy Tails while staying in Huntsville for 3 nights and our dog George absolutely loved it!!! We brought him 2 days and he couldn't wait to go back. Friendly staff, and such a fun space for the dogs to be out in nature! Can't recommend it enough and we can't wait to come back!

Happy Tails is such an amazing place for our BMD’s Clover and Truffle! So many acres to explore and the best caretakers! Thank you Lisa!

We’re always so cautious when trying to find a place to bring our three girls and based on some good reviews and great photos of happy dogs at Happy Tails we decided to try the day camp for them. They so excited when bringing them the second time and are always so tired! So pleased we found Happy Tails, the girls love going!

Vinny ( yellow lab cross) and Max( cockpoo)had a great 2 day sleep over at Happy tails . They we tired from all the activities. Steve and I highly recommend this great doggie camp.❤️

I cannot be more thankful that I found Happy Tails! My 3 year old foxhound Major went for the 100 day detox program and returned with amazing results. The grounds are beautiful with many places for the dogs to swim and run around freely and safely. I’ve already booked another visit for my dog to return next month. There is nowhere else I trust to leave my dog overnight. I know she’s under the best care and truly having the time of her life. Thanks Lisa and all the staff for everything you do!

Our dogs love it here, it's like doggie camp! Our dogs have been coming here since they were pups, so going on 8 and 3 years. They always come home tired and sleep like logs for days. I love that they get to run around and play with other dogs. Wouldn't send them anywhere else!

It’s the best feeling when we board our black lab, Karma, at Happy Tails in Huntsville. We know that she will have so much fun running free in the forest and swimming in the ponds, and that she is well cared for by Lisa and her staff. We also just love that it is crate free boarding, which not too many facilities are equipped with. It is so obvious to us and such a comfort, that Lisa cares so much for all the dogs and that their fun and safety is her absolute priority. Our dog Karma, comes home very exhausted and very happy. You truly won’t find any other properties like this that are an absolute Haven for dogs. It’s such a feeling of comfort when we take Karma there for her little mini dog vacation. I can’t recommend this place highly enough… You can feel very comforted in the knowing that when you take your dog to Happy Tails in Huntsville, they will have so much fun and be so well cared for!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Bryce, who was a quick to reply to my inquiry. I did a tour of the facility the next day and it was very clean and organized. While I’ve never boarded or sent my dogs to daycare, I was apprehensive. However, I have to say after our tour (our dogs sniffed around and checked it out too), I felt great about sending my pups here. A couple days later the dogs went for a visit and play. I felt that Bryce was very knowledgeable and organized the dogs with similar temperament dogs. Also, the dogs are always supervised. This was also important since one of ours is a puppy. I would not hesitate to recommend Four Paws and I’m sure glad my friend recommended it to me.

I boarded my 2 year old German shepherd here this weekend. It was his first time being in a daycare/boarding environment. The staff was so helpful and kind and they took amazing care of my boy. They take the time to let your dog socialize rather than just keeping them in a kennel which allows them to get out energy and be mentally stimulated. He was so happy there and I will definitely be bringing him back the next time we go up north! So grateful my sister recommended them to me!

Four Paws Ready Inn has given us such wonderful customer service! My dogs know exactly when I am driving there and are so excited to get dropped off!! Thank you for taking such great care of our furry family!!!

Really nice experience. Would have liked to have been shown around the facility and outdoor space a little bit to feel better about leaving my dog to make sure I felt it was up to snuff but that aside my dog appeared happy on pick up and likely loved playing with the other dogs. The drop off and pick is made really easy and they seem super flexible on timing. Great experience overall.

We brought our 16 month old puppy here for the day. Neil was very helpful and provided me with all the info that I needed. The times for drop off and pick up were very flexible. We felt confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Thank you also to Shelby who groomed our dog before pick up. He was so clean and smelled really nice, not the typical dog shampoo smell 😊. I know Tundra had an amazing time. Thanks for taking the time to tell us about his day. We will definitely be back.

For a kennel, this is a good one. My dog Roma seemed fine after a one day stay, not that she would like to be back because she prefers her humans 😀 The staff is pleasant. I was not clear how many times the dogs get to go outside in winter, but you can ask …

My wife and I boarded our 7 month old Golden Retriever at Four Paws Ready Inn for 1 week. Originally we were very hesitant to board our dog since she had never been boarded for more than 2 nights, but we were assured by the friendly staff and excellent enclosure. Overall it was a great and affordable experience. We will be back next year.

Such a positive boarding experience! Both the owner and her daughter spent time talking to me prior to dropping my quirky rescue Husky off and upon picking her up. A great place for those that worry about boarding their dogs. I will definitely be returning. Thank you Four Paws!

Awesome place because they love the dogs they look after. My little puppy loves to stay here. Reasonably priced as well.

Best dog boarding kennel in Muskoka. Very accommodating, great with our dogs Koda and Hoss. The staff are awesome .

Absolutely amazing! Fran has been staying at the Muskoka Pet Lodge since she was a puppy and I couldn't imagine taking her anywhere else! Pamela is incredibly organized, kind and goes above and beyond in accommodating pick-up times and last minute stay requests when she can. I love watching the update videos posted on Instagram. It certainly feels like a home away from home!

Our pups love their visits to Pamela’s home! They get lots of exercise and opportunities for socialization!! Thank you Pamela for giving us peace of mind when we need to leave our furries!!

We've boarded dogs with Pam for 10+ years. Pam is extremely professional, compassionate, caring and above all a genuinely nice person. Highly recommend Muskoka Pet Lodge, and we would never consider boarding our dog anywhere else.

Pam is awesome, my puppy Charlie was so well taken care off. Excellent setup and care.

Pam was very obliging and accommodating for our last minute booking. The pricing was very good. Pam kept in touch with any concerns she had .Very clean and wonderful large fenced-in area for the dogs to run free. It is evident that Pam enjoys her profession. Thanks again Pam.

Simply amazing. I can't believe I haven't left a review prior to now. We have been dropping our 2 dogs Tara and Guiness to Pam for the past 6 plus years. Unfortunately Tara is no longer with us, but she really appreciated how kind Pam always was to her and so did we. Guiness being the brute he is always runs about causing havoc and Pam is great with him as well. The dogs loved it, the boarding is clean and she definitely has a way with animals. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. There's plenty of room for the dogs to run about and the pens are more than a genwrous size. Anyone thinking of leaving your animal here, don't give it a second though just do it, you won't be sorry!

We're so thankful for Pam and Muskoka Pet Lodge and have been coming for a number of years now. We can rest and enjoy our vacation knowing our pet is being loved on and taken care of! ❤️

After reading the reviews I was a little skeptical but I had checked out a few other places and wasn't satisfied with the facilities or staff. So I came to check out Muskoka Pet Lodge. I was pleasantly surprised. It's family run business, the owner clearly loves, and handles animals well. There were two other dogs at the time and they seemed very happy! Bear was very comfortable with the owner when he came out to check the place out. The house has an impressive size fenced in yard for the dogs, it was well maintained and clean. I can't understand how anyone could rate the customer service as poor she was very friendly, and patient as she answered all of my questions and concerns being a nervous pet parent leaving my Bear anywhere is very difficult. I'm very glad I decided to check this place out and will definitely be back the next time I have to leave town!

I brought Lux to pet lodge August /2016 for the weekend .The owner was very accomadating in taking him past business hours. I really liked the fact she sent me few videos him playing through out his stay. I would definitely bring him again.

Owned by very lovely people, your pet will be well loved and taken care of here! Lots of other pets to play with and a nice big yard to run around in I would totally leave my Pipsqueak here again!

I know my boys are in good hands with Tammy. She's been a great, great help to us over the many years we have been boarding there. She's been accommodating to my quirky boys who may need private walks or special care. The onsite store is fantastic too, with lots of options and reasonably priced.

Friendly and welcoming. Always take great care of our dog. On site store is great too.

Awesome people! They looked after our 15yr old dog for 2 weeks..couldn't be happier!! The video showing Pepper on his daily walk was very reassuring! Thanks again!

Something happened to my dog during his stay that resulted in a $1200 vet bill. Nothing was reported to me. My email asking for further info was not responded to. He was also caged when he was to be in a cubicle. I have NO idea how people are rating this at 5 stars. Not even ONE for us.

Tammy and her Team are the "BEST" Dog and Cat Mama's & Papa's when you gone. They get theren walks, exercise, play time AND relaxing time, what ever your Dog needs!!!! Mine looking straight out the back window everytime we pick them up and crye till we again on hyw. Or flipping happily out barking or houling when we pas the train tracks and go up hill. They....... We LOVE THEM, and prices are fair!!!! Thank you Tammy XoXo

Tammy and her Team are amazing. I feel TOTALLY COMPHY to leave my furry Babys there shine or rain or snow!!!😎😘💞💗 Highly recommended as well from our 🐶🐻 …

We've been working on the property and the owners have been incredibly accepting with us being in and out of their property, causing a lot of noise and dust. We appreciate their support during construction.

Simple the best I feel guilty about not leaving our Alaskan Husky rescue there more she loves it

Have used a number of times because our dog gets looked after we'll and gets more exercise than he can get at home.

Very clean facilities and plenty of room to get exercise. Owners are great. Very caring people. I would recommend the Doggie Motel to everybody

Jay and Devon are great people who care for your pets. Pippa loves going to play with her friends.

Have been going for several years and have not had anything but excellent grooming for my dog Frodo. Update Just picked him up an hour ago and as usual he looks great. Always a good experience. Another awesome cut for my best friend ❤️

We had a great experience with Muskoka Spa for pets this past weekend. The owner Jason was very thorough with asking to see our dogs vaccine records and calling on his own time to get a background history of our dog. I was nervous using a doggie daycare as we had gone to another dog kennel a few years ago and our dogs where extremely stressed, and one had been injured. But Jason was very confident with our dog who is a recent rescued dog with separation anxiety and can climb fences. The fact that he wanted our dogs medical history and wanted to know our dog before we met, made me feel confident to trust Muskoka Spa for pets. The property was clean and beautiful. Jason also followed covid rules and had a great set up to accommodate that. Our dog was happy and not stressed at pick up. Our dog seemed to have a great day and like Jason. I totally recommend their services and when we are in the area again and need doggie daycare we will definitely go back to this business.

While waiting to get our dog brought in, we overheard that the dog ahead of us did not have an up to date kennel cough vaccination and they still accepted the dog. That wasn't a great sign to be honest, but we trusted that this was still a good place based on their reviews. However after our dog got home, we noticed she had a cough with bouts of hacking and gagging since visiting. She has been diagnosed with kennel cough. Unfortunately, now this is somewhere we can not visit again by principal of them letting the dog ahead of us go in without current vaccines and her getting sick.

So happy that the doggie day care was available for our pups. Owners were super helpful. The space was perfect for our curious beagle pups. Lots of indoor and outdoor space to roam and discover. Indoor A/C was welcome with the hot summer weather. Clearly loving pet people. We would highly recommend Muskoka Spaw for pets.

We love this place and use it exclusively for day care and boarding while we're away. I feel they take great care in looking after our dog, and are always forthcoming if they know they have had kennel cough or other sickness in their facility. My dog gets excited the moment we turn on to Muskoka Beach Road.

BEST DOG GROOMERS/DAYCARE IN MUSKOKA. 100% recommend, amazing family and amazing people. Very knowledgeable! Both of my dogs came home looking and smelling fresh and SOSO HAPPY. YOU GUYS ROCK, THANK YOU!

The team at Muskoka Spaw for Pets was accommodating for our two, one-year-old beagles. We were not local so we could not test out the daycare in advance. We were pleased to receive a summary of how the dogs were during the day. The spaw was able to take our dogs with little notice. Rates were certainly reasonable. We were not allowed into the facility due to COVID-19, but we know it's climate-controlled which was very welcomed for the hot days we used the services.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET, GO WITH OPTION B… When we went to drop our little girl off...he immediately attempted to cancel on us with no notice (we had booked two weeks away one month prior and I had seen the "spa" owner multiple times over the month). His claim was that our dog has separation anxiety (he could somehow tell by how she came to the door from the car). That in itself would have been completely acceptable if he had been in any way professional about it. We don’t want to leave our little girl with anyone that thinks they can’t handle her, and he made it very obvious that he was not prepared or able to care for her. If we did HAVE to leave her there, he wanted information for multiple people he could call to pawn her off on. The problem was that his professionalism was grotesque. He started to raise his voice and bounce around. I had to tell him to calm himself and then told him to sit down. (He sat very oddly in the corner for the rest of the time we were there.) He was obnoxious and rude, never giving us eye contact, staring at the floor while sitting in the corner turning an interesting colour of red. What we learned then will be the number one reason we will never return. Apparently the dogs are kept in 4'x4' brick cells with metal doors (which explains our pup's bloody paws from the last visit). We also learned that they are caged up most of the day and night (roughly 18 hrs is what we were told). We were accused of being liars (VERBATIM) when we explained that we had been told that, if we made the request, it would be an option that our little girl could be put in the big room instead of the tiny cell at night. When he started raising his voice and vibrating again I told him, it was not worth arguing about (as there was no way we were leaving our little girl there anyway). We found an alternative on VERY short notice. After returning the food my wife had brought in to us in an exaggeratedly laborious manner, he struggled clumsily to bring our dog back out (I hope on purpose). He let her jump up on another lady that was picking up her dog then in an animated fashion gave me the lead (at which point our dog simply sat down). He then sarcastically belted out "GOOD LUCK WITH HER". It was very apparent then, that we made the right decision. He was not competent enough to even walk our dog, let alone be responsible for her. Truth is (apart from being disgusted by his behavior) I actually felt bad for the little guy. I imagine some of the dogs are WAY too big for him to handle. FTR: We were told our little girl whined for a day and a half (missing us), then settled in and enjoyed her stay while we were gone. I would think that to be a somewhat normal reaction... It is too bad, the other owner and their worker have always been very nice and easy to deal with.

Fantastic groomers. We brought our Keeshond, who has A LOT of fur and they did a fantastic job. Show quality. I highly recommend them. Thank you very much.
