Dog Sitters in Head Of Jeddore

We have boarded dogs at this kennel for years. We have boarded a very old dog. That old dog was given excellent, kind, gentle care. We have also boarded a puppy who was also given exactly the care he needed. He is grown now and is always happy to go there. He goes in with tail wagging. He goes to both Barb and Lloyd for pets. He is a happy dog when I pick him up. I would recommend this kennel to anyone needing a dog to be cared for in a home. The owners are knowledgeable and caring.

We left our dog here for a 10 day trip. When she couldn't eat her food due to a tumor in her mouth, Barb hand cooked fish that she was more than willing to eat. We were even given some of the fish to take home when we picked her up since she was so willing to eat it over regular food. We are very grateful for the care and dedication by Barb to accommodate our dog and would recommend this dog kennel to anyone else looking for one.

I used Just like home dog boarding three times, but will never return. After the first time I didn’t feel totally comfortable and didn’t plan to return, but found that after the stay my dog seemed more social with other dogs, so I decided to go back. The second visit went fine and she seemed to have enjoyed it. Sadly the third visit was a terrible experience. When I picked my dog up after a long weekend, she was walking on three legs. The dog boarding owners said she likes to jump a lot and she just hurt her paw a little but it’s fine, and said she’s just been looking for sympathy and lying around all day. They didn’t give details of what had happened or when. They keep the dogs in the house and showed me where they had her sleeping, which was on a high ledge with quite a precarious jump onto a box to get down, not the type of spot I would ever have her sleep. It was a long weekend, so I’m not sure if they were full and finding extra spots for dogs to sleep or if it’s a spot they usually use. There was clearly something seriously wrong so I took her to the vet. They found she had broken her toe below the joint. The end of the toe had to be removed, leaving just a stub, and the nail will never grow back. There was also an abrasion on the side of the toe. I called Just like home to tell them that she was seriously hurt and had required surgery which cost almost $500. They were very rude, saying: What are you accusing us of, we didn’t hurt her, she hurt herself, and if you think we’re paying we aren’t. I told them that all I was saying is that I left her in their care and when I returned she was badly injured, but actually I did feel they have some responsibility. At a minimum I suggested they should be refunding the boarding fee (that I had paid in advance). They refused saying the waiver I signed says they are not responsible for injuries. They even questioned the injury saying "I don't know your vet..." At no point was there even an apology. I know accidents can happen, but I feel like the environment there was more risky than it should have been and I was very disappointed by both their response to the injury and their attitude around it. I will not be returning.

I've takem my dogs here multiple times. Never had a bad experience. They are good people and always show that they care about my dogs. This is the only place I'll leave my dogs.

Although the owners clearly care about the pets that they take care of it was unfortunately not a good experience for my partner and I. We travel often and saw the good reviews online. After picking up our Bernese mountain dog and golden retriever we noticed a deep gouge in the top of our Berneses head and a rash on his stomach (same rash was on our golden) took the Berny to the vet the very next day and the vet explained he either a) got his head stuck under a fence or b) got bitten by a much larger dog & that it couldn't have been our golden because his jaw wasn't wide enough for the bite. She explained it must have happened earlier in the days we dropped him off as black flies had gotten into his gouge and it was infected. Not really sure how no one noticed that he has the cut on his head because the smell was pungent and the kennels have 24 hour security cameras to monitor them. A $200 vet bill later & even though we explain what happened to the owners who assured us they were not with other dogs we were offered no apology. The rash on both of them was from black flies which is understandable as they were outside so it would be silly to be mad about that. However for the cut in our dogs head made the experience very disappointing.

Can't say enough great things about them. So kind and friendly. My golden retriever just lives it. We use it two or three times a year. Would not go anywhere else.

The only place we leave are two beagles at they are treated like family. Beautiful spot lots of space for all size of dogs.

I first met Sarah through Sublime Canine puppy classes. She seemed to have a lot of knowledge and a great rapport with dogs. I’ve been sending my Cavalier out for hikes with Sarah for about 18 months now. He gets so excited when I tell him “Sarah is coming” — I know it’s the highlight of his week. She also takes awesome photos of the dogs and regularly posts Instagram videos of their hikes. Highly recommend!

We met Sarah through her puppy socialization class and immediately felt at ease with her as she helped us navigate life with our rambunctious Vizsla. Our dog loves Sarah and looks forward to her weekly walks/ hikes. We feel so lucky to have someone who knows so much about dogs and their behaviour walking our dog. We love that her packs are small and she matches dog groupings based on temperament and energy level. She is the only person we feel comfortable leaving our girl with overnight, we know that she will always meet her needs and keep her in check when she needs reminders. As our dog gets older, we love that she can have structured socialization with a professional who gets dogs and their quirks. The pictures on social media are an added bonus to see what she gets up to! Could not recommend Sarah enough.

We met Sarah 6 years ago when we took Sadie to her first puppy class. She then started going on group hikes with Call of the Wild when she was 6 months old and has been going 3 times per week ever since. There is no one Sadie loves more and no one we trust more than Sarah to keep the pups safe. And an added bonus is the training the dogs get while in her care - recall, learning to wait patiently for treats and not jump and grab. She takes care to bring the dogs to areas where there aren’t a lot of people so they can run and swim and play. Sadie comes home tired and happy. Leaving your dog in the care of someone who is also a highly qualified trainer gives us peace of mind and we honestly highly recommend Sarah and Call of the Wild to anyone looking to give their furry friend awesome off leash adventures!

My Boston is 6 yrs old and Sarah has been walking her since she was 6 months old. I trust very few people with my dogs, especially as my girl can be a bit spicy but Sarah manages her flawlessly. My younger boston also now joins the adventures. Sarah is knowledgeable and trustworthy I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker/ trainer.

Buffy has been going out with Sarah for nearly 5 years now. Sarah is great with the dogs and, as others have noted, posts lots of photos and videos of the dogs having a great time on their off-leash walks. All I have to say is "Sarah is coming" and Buffy is at the front door quivering in anticipation. We trust Sarah implicitly with our dog. Thank you Sarah!

We have been customers for more than 5 years and highly recommend. Sarah at Call of the Wild Canine Services provides reliable and expert services. Our dog, Sophie, looks forward to the outings and we feel great that she gets so much off leash and social time in nature with someone so thoughtful about Sophie’s enjoyment and safety.

Sarah has been walking my two doodles for over three years. Not only do my dogs love her, but she posts her walks on IG so I can actually see how much fun they have. I highly recommend her advice and dog walking service.

Watching the joy on my dogs face when he’s out on a group walk with Call of the Wild Canine Services makes my heart sing. Highly recommended’
