Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters. They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine. Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well. Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well. We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
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!
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Melissa is Absolutely, Unequivocally and Unquestionably AMAZING!!! She has a heart of gold and is truly a pet whisperer. We had her take care of our beloved dog while we had to go out of town for several days for my brother's funeral. We have always traveled with our dog in the past and had never previously used a pet sitter. She had made our girl feel almost immediately at ease and took care of her as if she was her own. We give Melissa Our Highest Recommendation!!! We will be using her services in the future knowing that our girl will be in loving and caring hands.
Melissa at Tails A Waggin is awesome! My boys love her and she makes it very convenient to be able to go places with short notice. Also her in home overnight service helps with my dog reactive pup that cannot go to kennels for boarding. Melissa has been helping me by walking my dogs daily while I have been unable to due to surgery. She’s always there when I need her.
Melissa did an amazing job! We were visiting from out of town and we looked her up on Google spoke with her, two days before we were to go on a guided fishing charter. She was very reasonable on her prices and my dogs loved her!! I highly recommend her and we'll definitely use her again, when we visit again!! Thank you!!
My husband and I are huge animal lovers and we love to go places. We needed someone very reliable that would stay over night with our babies. We found Melissa on Facebook and she spent a week caring for our 3 dogs. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pictures daily. It was a huge relief to know that they were cared for and loved. Also, the house was nice and clean, plants watered and our smelly dogs had been given baths. We are using Melissa again in a couple months and will use her whenever we get the travel bug. We highly recommend her.
Melissa was great with our dogs and cat while we did an overnite out of town! No issues whatsoever. Prompt, open communication, friendly! We plan on using her services again soon! Thanks Melissa! 🐾🐾 …
I am so happy to have found Melissa, she took the best care of my high maintenance kitty.. will definitely use her again🤗 …
We are happy to have found Melissa! Melissa watched our dogs while out of town for a few days. We came back to happy pups in great spirits. Melissa is reliable and stays in communication through out the visit. Our place was also left spotless. We will be using her again this weekend!
Melissa has been sitting our pets and stays over with our rescue puggle Tucker and feline Maggie May. The love and attention she gives them is great! She will send us a picture each day we are away. We are so fortunate to have found her! She is coming back to our home in September!
Melissa is great with our dogs and they absolutely love her! We use her for dogs walks and also dog sitting and we would highly recommend her!
Melissa was Awesome,she very friendly,dependable and took great care of our kitties and our home.We finally found a great caretaker of our pets!!!! We will be using Melissa again and again....
Tara took care of our 17 year old cat and did a fantastic job!! She was fine with giving Mia her meds, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call her again. And, we recommend her to anyone who is needing a great pet sitter!!!! Thank you!!!!
Tara is Awesome! We feel so comfortable knowing our dog is having just as good a time with Tara as we are on vacation! Can’t say enough about our experiences. Our dog loves her too!
I have known Tara since she was a little girl and was thrilled to learn she had her own pet sitting business. She has always been compassionate and caring about animals so I believe this is a labor of love! I used Tara for the last 11 days for care of my cat and 2 birds in my home. Tara did an absolutely amazing job! She went above and beyond to take care of my fur/feather babies! She is a beautiful person inside and out, she is very trustworthy and comes highly recommended! It takes the worries out of leaving your pets behind. Thank you Tara from the bottom of my heart, Saturday the cat, Moonpie and Tiki the birds are most grateful!
Tara’s compassion towards animals is what really drew me to her. She truly cares and knows very well how to care of your fur baby because of her upbringing on her farm and even currently. She is very trustworthy, kind, and professional. Tara came to my house to take care of our puppy for two days. I love that she gives you the option to watch your pet at her place or your home. Our puppy loved her and we are so happy to have found Tara. Our family highly recommends Tara to care for your pet too.
Tara is a sweet young lady who immediately makes you feel comfortable from the moment you and your fur babies meet her! She has a love for animals and I know they feel it. I did!! They felt loved, safe and cared for when with her. This of course brought great comfort to me knowing my fur babies were in good hands. My hubby and I decided last minute we needed her an extra day and she was very accommodating. I’m a pet sitter too, so knowing I can call upon her for my own needs is awesome. She is very thoughtful and has been of great help to me. . So whatever your need is, don’t hesitate to call Tara! Your pets will thank you!!
Back in December my family and I went away right after Christmas and were gone for several days. Not only did Tara care for my miniature schnauzer Holly but we also took Biscuit to Tara (my daughter’s dog). Either dog has ever been boarded and we wanted them to have the “comforts of home.” They loved the attention they received and got along very well. We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks for the weekend and have already reserved a spot for them. I definitely would recommend Tara.
Tara is great with animals! Very caring and professional. I call her every time I travel and she's always done a stellar job. The most reliable pet sitter I've ever had. Couldn't recommend her enough!
Tara loved my dog even tho he is adhd....and super tough to handle. ❤ Never Hesitate to have "Tara's Animal Care" take Loving Care of whatever loved one (pet) you have. Thanks again Tara!
Tara is thoughtful, caring, and very responsible. She took care of our small farm over Christmas and our cameras proved she not only fed the animals but loves on the animals too!! I would recommens her to anyone.
Tara is super sweet and our Jack Russel was well taken care of. Will definitely be calling her again to watch our pet.
Shawnee has a wonderful way with animals. We have left our dog with her numerous times. She has treated her like her own. We have left her for over a week at a time and Yoshi can’t wait to go.
I boarded my two dogs my Bouvier de Flanders, she's 62 pounds and doesn't really like new people and my Woodle (mix of a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and Standard Poodle) he follows her lead. After interviewing many people we choose Paws to Claws. My husband and I were confident that we had chosen the best place for our dogs. Surprisingly my Bouvier liked her. I boarded them for 10 days. While we were gone my Bouvier had bonded so closely with her she would try to get on her lap to give her kisses. It's amazing that they bonded that closely in such a short amount of time and really tells me we made the best decision. When my husband and I arrived to pick them up we seen them before they saw us and they were happy and playing. I would highly recommend Paws To Claws to everyone.
Shawnee has always taken great care of my animals and highly recommended!
Shawnee is very polite and truly loves the animals.
Highly recommend Shawnee to care for my furkids!
Shawnee is amazingly awesome with my Scooter🐾🐾 …
Great!
We have a 5 year old dog who has been attending daycare several times a week since he was 6 months old. We tried Dog Kidz for daycare for several weeks due to the good reviews. We did not have a good experience. Several times when we came to pick him up, there was no one in the building with the daycare dogs and no one watching them. The small dog group has toys and chews down all the time even when unsupervised. No other daycare we’ve used has had toys because it causes problems with resource guarding. Our dog is high energy and has always been in the medium group at other daycares because of this. Dog Kidz refused to move our dog to a larger play group when we told them he would guard toys and after he started having issues with guarding toys. We had the manager scold us about the resource guarding behavior with the toys even after we had told them it would be a problem. We train and socialize our dog. We are actively training to reduce resource guarding. Dog Kidz did not try to work with him or use our offered solution of putting him in a group without toys. The final straw was when our dog came home with bite marks all over his face and scruff and they didn’t tell us about any incidents. Probably because no one was watching him when it happened. We took him somewhere else (who doesn’t have toys down like all other dog daycares) and he’s doing great. EDIT because I can't respond to the Owner's response. First off, Arlo is a 34 pound large french bulldog, NOT a boston terrier. He's plenty big to be in a medium-sized group. Second, here is a picture of his face after the bite. This should have been obvious to staff since it was obvious to me when I got him home. Finally, yes, we did tell the woman who gave us the intro tour about him resource guarding toys. If that didn't make it to management, I don't know what to tell you.
A clean and very well-run boarding facility. They offer doggie day-care, overnight accommodations and even grooming services. The dogs have freedom to stay inside or go outside in fenced areas. Our dogs get plenty of play-time and exercise.
I have been taking my dog Harry to Dogkidz for boarding and grooming for the last two years. I cannot say enough great things about this place ! Harry gets such great care there and his grooming is always excellent ! They are very caring and professional and I always feel confident leaving him there knowing he will get the best of care!
This is a great place to take your dog. My dog runs in pulling on the leash and I know she has a good time because she comes home and crashes for a big nap after she is there. Everyone working there is very nice, professional and courteous. The prices are reasonable. Yeah, great doggy day care!
We have been taking our dogs there since 2009. great place where they let the dogs run and play together. they have live video cams where you can watch them while you're out of town.
💕Dog Kidz 💕has been WONDERFUL for us and we’ve been going there for many years (10+ since our oldest was just a puppy). Our 2 Weimaraners get so excited as soon as I turn down the street that they start whining to get out of the car to stay and play. Sandra and her team love on our fur babies like they’re family and I always feel comforted leaving them there, knowing they’ll be in good hands. ❤️
We took out dogs multiple times and everytime they come home like they had a blast, and they also look like they had plenty of exercise
Warm, attentive staff who know your dogs. Both my dogs love going there, and have had no negative experiences. Another place I took my dogs previously had too many dogs. Consequently play injuries would occur. DogKidz has been injury free and very good for my excitable pet.
I am very picky of where and who I leave my girl (dog) with. Long story short, my girl LOVES this facility. She cannot wait to get inside when bringing her. And she usually doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up. I closely monitor staff’s interactions with her and how she responds. She is very happy to see any one of the employees, and they respond with the same happiness. She communicates ZERO red flags. She goes to daycare on average 2 days a week. We’ve boarded her once with daycare included. The only concern I had was hoping she knew we didn’t abandoned her. She feels safe, secure, and is very happy here. This place gets very busy over the holidays. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Friendly staff. They made last minute accommodations for our dog. Our dog was abandoned and has issues socializing with other dogs and people. They are knowledgeable about handling this types of dogs. We fully trust them to take care of our pet.
I have used this service for several years and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Angela and Mike genuinely care for my cats and it shows. More than just feeding and changing litter, they give each a bit of personalized attention each visit. As a result, when I get back from a trip, even a long one, my cats don’t pull the guilt card with me. They are fat and content and always happy to see Angela if she comes by just to say “hi”. You won’t find a better pet sitting service!!!
We have used Angela and Mike for four years now. We had a diabetic kitty so it was very important to us that we had somebody that we could rely on that would come twice a day at 12 hour intervals. They have been extremely reliable and are very compassionate to our animals. Our kitties love them and so do we. I highly recommend using their services.
We have been using the pet sitting services of Angela and Mike for about four years. They are the best! They are quick to return a response, extremely reliable, promptly arrive each day that we are away to care for our cats, and send us regular updates while we are away. They treat our pets with compassion and kindness and care for them as if they were their own. We never worry about the care our girls are getting while we are away. In addition to caring for our cats, they also get our mail, retrieve our trash/recycling containers and water plants. Angela and Mike are a great team that always goes above and beyond.
Angela and Mike have been caring for our cats and dogs for around five years now! They have never said no to any of our requests including several last minute plans! They are always reliable and spend quality time with our animals. Our pug cries out of excitement when he sees them too! They were compassionate with our older sick boxer and now they are doing the same with our new young wild puppy! We always receive texts and updates after their visits which puts our minds at ease. I hope Angela and Mike never stop pet sitting as we never worry about our pets and home while in their care. They bring trust, kindness, and lots of love for the animals!
We have been using Angel Care Pet Sitting and Services for over a year and they are the BEST! Our dog is a rescue and we wanted to find someone or a service who would be a good fit for him and make him happy when we are not home. Angela and Mike always take such great care of our dog as if he was their own. They are very reliable, send updates and even photos of him when we are on vacation. They make sure we never have to worry about our dog and home when we are away. We are so grateful to have had them recommended to us by friends of ours!
Angel Care is the best pet sitting team in the business! Angela and Mike have always gone above and beyond for us and our two cats whether we’re gone for 2 days or 2 weeks. Both clearly love our pets almost as much as we do and spoil them with affection. My husband and I feel peace knowing such wonderful people are caring for our cats and home while we are away and always have excellent communication. We have used Angel Care at least 4 times a year for 3 years and have never had an issue. This is not a company but extended family for your pets!
I love Angela and Mike! I am new to the area but they had great reviews so I used them when I went to Boston for six days. They came the week before to meet my cat, who is very friendly and I gave them his routine and I filled out their forms. Angela came everyday and not only took care of his needs (litter scooping and food and water) but also played with him for at least a half hour to 45 min every day! They even put my garbage out for garbage day. They left the house spotless. My cat loved her. They were very reasonably priced too. Less than what it would have cost me to board him. I will definitely use them again.
For five years our cat, Ozzie, has been lucky enough to have Mike and Angela take care of him. He greets them like part of the family. When we have returned from a trip, Ozzie will post himself by the window where he has always seen their car appear at a certain time of day! And…it’s not just for his expected meal. It’s because he interacts with them and gets plenty of playful attention. Our instructions for feeding, medication etc. are diligently followed…always. The house is as clean as we’ve left it and mail or package deliveries are brought inside. Any “cat messes” are taken care of, and the litter box is never left unattended. All texts or emails are quickly answered, assuring us that all is well. If there are any concerns Mike and Angela may have about feeding problems or unusual behaviors, we are immediately notified. Seeing Ozzie totally relaxed when we return tells us that he is exceptionally well cared for…with no signs of stress or anxiety. Mike and Angela are definitely his “second Mom and Dad” when we must be gone. We recommend their care and services with “five stars” plus full confidence!!
Angela & Mike (Angel Care Pet Sitting) have cared for our cats (and dog before she passed away) for over five years. We have always been comfortable leaving our pets and home in their care. They came to meet our pets and gather vet information, etc. before they began pet sitting for us. They have always accommodated our sometimes last minute plans. They are reliable and go the extra mile. They don’t just rush in and feed the kitties and clean the litter boxes, but also spend time with them, brushing if needed and giving meds. They text each day with updates and I’m impressed that they ask us to let them know when we return home so there’s no chance of the kitties being left alone if we didn’t return home when expected. Simply put, they are the best!
Angela & Mike are excellent pet sitters. They're prompt, reliable, kind to my cats and always keep me up to date on their status. They're the only visitors my little feral cat trusts. They also bring in mail, water plants, etc. Highly recommended!
We highly recommend Phyllis' services, our two cats are very happy when she takes care of them. So glad we found her, it makes a world of difference to know our fur babies are in good and reliable hands and well taken care of.
We are so grateful we have found Phyllis to take care of our animals. We travel frequently and she completely understands that in home pet care is not just about giving the animals excellent care (she does!) but also that you are trusting her to be in your home and treat it with care and respect. Everything about the way her business is run gives us such confidence in how our home and animals are being treated - it really lets us relax and enjoy our travels. Would absolutely recommend Wanderlust Elite Pet Services to anyone!
Phyllis is a wonderful and knowledgable woman who has grown up around all kinds of animals and has alot of experience. She is trustworthy and reliable. Update as of 10/2024- we have now used Phyllis several times to watch our cats, and she remains the most trusted pet sitter. She sends photos and updates us while we are away, and she communicates well with us. The cat loves her!
Phyllis is amazing with animals. I highly recommend using her services. She has a wealth of knowledge; she is compassionate, patient, kind and loves sharing her time with our fur babies.
This is a great place for your pets. Phyllis loves all pets, and has a heart of gold. She volunteers at places that care for and help animals. She has a heart of gold, and your pets will be cared for as if they were her own.
I personally know Phyllis and her experiences working with pets, from alpacas to cats, dogs, birds and squirrels. She cares! You won't go wrong entrusting her with your loves.
What’s most important... can you trust them in your home, are they dependable, do they love animals, will the pay attention to details and will they honor their commitment to you and your pets... Phyllis is a 5 star for all of these!
I cruise out of Florida all the time. This is the ONLY place I’ll leave my fur-boys. Phyllis is so compassionate and gentle. I highly recommend her!
Best pet sitter ever!! You will never find anyone more compassionate, caring and fun to hang out with your dog. Highly recommend. Your pet will thank you.
Phyllis is wonderful with pets. I completely trust her with ours!
We had the best experience with our sitter, Jessica. She was so kind, genuine and loving to our fur babies. We trust her so much and will be using the services in the future. Thank you!!
We have counted on South Paw for over 6 years for their pet sitting services. Stacy and her crew have always been able to accommodate our needs, including the rare times when we have had to make last minute changes. All of the pet sitters have been very caring individuals and have been meticulous in providing our dogs' medications. They also provide photos of the kids so we don't miss them too much while we're away. We can very highly recommend South Paw.
We feel very fortunate to have found South Paw. Shelia our sitter is fantastic! She is so wonderful with our dogs. Our husky is very timid and does not warm up to people easily but Shelia had her eating out of her hand in one day! Your fur babies will be in great hands with South Paw.
I highly recommend South Paw Massage and Wellness for their ability to provide loving and reliable pet sitters who will take care of your pets in your home. We could not be happier with Sheila and Margaret and Cassidy. We know we can go away and our two dogs will be safe and happy. Plus Jessica who does the scheduling does everything possible to accommodate last minute requests. We are thrilled that our friend Jean recommended South Paw and we also recommend South Paw to our friends.
Stacie and the entire staff have been the most fantastic blessings for me and my pooch! Due to an injury I have been unable to care for my senior pup with medical issues. He's 16 or 17 y.o. dachshund-poodle rescue that has been the center of my life for 15+ yrs. He's on many meds for health issues and IVDD (spine issues). We had gone there twice for massage before I was injured and they were able to find a way to board him on last minute request. He's been there for over a month now. Not only do they take amazing personalized care of him, but he's gained a new lease on life; being in that environment, the vet said it reversed his dementia. They inform me promptly if he has any flare ups of his medical conditions, they send me pics and videos. The times I have been able to have him back home for an overnight visit he was much more comfortable being pet because of the massages, much more relaxed. He's always excited when he returns there. I can't wait to see him after his first grooming there! I'm thrilled they are comfortable grooming senior dogs and will handle him with care. Honestly, I couldn't trust them more with his well-being during this time when I can't care for him myself! They have it all and Lenny really does love it there! Thank you Southpaw!!
OMGosh this place is an answer to my prayers. I was desperately looking for a reputable dog sitter and they make it so easy. I’ve got a choice of two wonderful women that will dog sit overnight (yes overnight) at my home; they both are incredible. My dogs love them and I can enjoy traveling knowing my dogs are well taken care of. I also take the dogs to South Paw to meet the SmileSpecialists to get their teeth cleaned. If you haven’t tried the 10 minute no anesthesia dog teeth cleaning - you should try it. Highly highly recommend this organization!!
I've used South Paw for pet sitting several times. I leave knowing that whether it is Sheila, Helen or Margaret, my 3 dogs will be loved and cared for just as I care for them. The gals text me often and always send pictures. I love knowing someone is sleeping at my house and all is well. What a blessing for me to have this business here in Vero Beach! Many thanks to you all!
Today we took our two 10 lb mini poodles for their first-ever swim session and it was AWESOME! The 2 instructors were so good with them and had great ideas for helping the boys ease into it. Our one dog absolutely loved it and was so proud of himself for trying something new. Our other dog doesn't love getting wet so he is on the fence about it but he still did great! We're going back next week for session #2! Thank you Stacy and team!! 😍 We've also had several massages done at South Paw and we've noticed such a difference! Our one dog was attacked by a dog in 2016 and has some upper back/neck stuff going on. He relaxes into the massages pretty quickly and just lays there soooo chill and yawns/releases the whole time. He definitely loves it.
South Paw’s in-home dog sitters are excellent! Each one is dedicated to keeping the dogs happy and healthy whenever we travel. The sitters follow our doggy routines and probably give the pups more attention than we can on a regular day! They send updates and photos at whatever frequency we request, so there’s no worrying while we’re away from home. Our dogs are happy, which makes us happy, too. Thanks, South Paw!
I am blessed to have my dog ,Diamond, cared for by the South Paw staff. I Rescued her and she suffers from severe separation anxiety. Stacy and the staff have tirelessly worked with her and they have a trainer, Cissy, that has done wonders. I have used daycare and board with great success. I won’t leave my dog overnight with anyone else. Diamond runs to her area when we go there. She is so happy to be there. I get emails, updates and pictures of here which is so comforting. Diamond is so happy there and so am I. Gloria. H
Dylan our 5 y/o lovable yellow lab has been coming to Pawprints since he was a puppy! He goes to daycare, attends trainings, and has been boarded numerous times. His favorite is the swim time!!! He LOVES the place and can’t get in there fast enough when we drop him off! Staff is AWESOME!! VERY grateful!! We HIGHLY recommend!!
My mini Aussie and I have attended Puppy Kindergarten and Beyond Puppy classes. He has learned so much, and so have I. I’ve used their boarding facility, and rely on daycare when needed. Each employee takes the time to answer questions and all are knowledgeable and caring. It’s a safe, fun and loving place for your baby!
My Toto has been going to Paw Prints for over 14 years . When Lisa and Shaun first opened. Toto loved going there . They were awesome the staff was outstanding. Now 14 years later they are incredible. Unfortunately I had to put my baby to sleep on Tuesday . But next puppy will go straight to Paw Prints. I could not recommend enough. Training, playing and boarding are outstanding. Toto will miss you guys and so will I . See you again soon . Thank you for taking such great care of my baby.
Although the facility looks wonderful and they do seem genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of the dogs, my first experience with their policy of a doggy daycare visit for evaluation didn't go smoothly as I was not informed of an additional cost for the dogs to be evaluated. Also, one of my dogs was made to kennel in a high traffic area with, in my opinion, too much stimulus to be able to settle and rest without making noise, therefore, he was not passed for the evaluation and I was asked to bring him back for another cost and he would be placed in the actual boarding area. I feel like this is in an effort to extract additional costs from me. When I expressed my concern about whether or not they would except him when the time came for boarding, they assured me they would be able to. So, why the extra stress of getting my dog there for another evaluation and charge? Do not get me wrong, I have read and spoken to people who have utilized this service and all have high praise, but I am not in favor of charges not divulged at the start nor the policy of repeat evaluations do to an unfortunate choice on the part of the provider.
Pawprints has been amazing! My strong willed super active pup loves going there and falls asleep in the car on the way home. She has a private training session during her day and we both participate in the group sessions and pool parties. I was so frustrated with an unruly puppy prior to Pawprints but now she's a new dog. We both are so much happier. Thank you Pawprints!
My dog has stayed here many times & she’s always treated with the best of care!! I’m out of town during this Hurricane Milton & they have been very great about keeping in contact with me.
I wouldn’t trust any other place with our 2 dogs Lilly & Iris. A true test is when your dogs are practically jumping out the window for daycare and knocking you out of the way to get inside fast enough for boarding!! Swim Club is their favorite!!
Everyone also remembers Rocky, even if we haven’t been there awhile and that makes me feel good. The rates are reasonable and the daycare is great…sometimes I gave them give him a half hour training while he is there. 5-star for sure.
This place is fantastic! My dog Lucy, love’s going there. She gets so excited when she realizes where we are going. The staff are wonderful, take excellent care of the dogs. I have also boarded her many times and she always is excited to go.
I love this place… they’re clean, organized & takes very good care of your furry kidz. And most of all the dogs have a good time while being boarded!! The staff is very friendly too😊. …
If you need to take your dog, tell doggie daycare. Highly recommend. First time having to board our three dogs. And they had a private suite with a TV and private run area
Never boarded my dogs before so I was nervous. Karen gave us a tour of the facility and made us and the dogs feel safe and welcomed. Private rooms and yards, enough space for multiple dogs in the same room.(we boarded 4 dogs) Our dogs were well taken care of and will definitely board them here again in the future when needed.
Climate control private kennels with large outdoor pen and even larger running area. I wouldn't leave my babies anywhere else.
What a fantastic kennel. The rooms are large and spotless. Each kennel has a large private yard. We've left our Bella at many different kennels in different parts of the country over the years and this is the best experience yet. When I pulled in to pick her up, I could see her happily chilling in her private yard. While she was very happy to see me, I could see that she wasn't under any stress at all. This kennel was a 45 minute drive for us, but worth the effort. I wouldn't leave my sweet girl anywhere else.
Love this place. Karen and her family take wonderful care of our dogs. They love going there. It's a vacation for them too. We had our dogs there for a month and we missed them dearly. Karen sent us pictures and a video of them running around the big field.
Leaving your loved ones here is like leaving them a family member or even better. Our dogs are our kids and we could not just leave them with anyone. Karen and family really care for pet (loved ones) like they were theirs .
There is no comparison! This is the only kennel we trust with our dog! Our dog pandora is a bit difficult to work with. Karen does an excellent job of keeping up with her.
Wonderful kenell. My cranky jack russell loved it. He cant wait to go back. Karen takes great care of the dogs. So lucky to have found this place.
If you like your pups to be comfortable, safe, and have a ton of room to run, book here. They are as trustworthy as it gets.
Might be the best dog hotel ever! Rooms have a/c and heat, tv's, dog movies, private runs and a perfect setting. Two thumbs up!
Please be careful with this place. Facility is great but unfortunately they look more for the business than the integrity of your dog. I took my dog for 4 days and he came back with kennel cough and later, pneumonia. After 1 month, I still not having my dog healthy as he was and spent over $ 1000 in vet fees. If they know that pets are getting sick, they should take care of their facility first. Not good experience.
I have a big dog with little dog anxiety. Every experience with boarding was always bad for him. He would not eat, he would be depressed and unhappy then entire stay. His experience at Paradise Pet Resort was the complete opposite. I have boarded him multiple times and he always comes home happy and always seems to be happy to go back. Such a friendly and caring staff
I have been using Paradise Pet Resort since 2006 and absolutely love them and so have my dogs over the years. Athena who I have had for approximately a year is anxious during car rides, and getting better, but she absolutely is thrilled once she gets there. Heather and her entire team treat every dog like their own, and love on them, and play with them. My dogs would come home and sleep until the next day from running and playing so much. I have recommended so many people there over the years and they all love it as well.
Absolutely love this place the staff is so generous and kind. They make my dogs feel like family every time I go in.
Update- I would give this place 5 stars over and over. I had added a new pup to my family and now take all 3 pups to daycare a few times a week. The staff is amazing and I know they care for and love the animals. They always greet me and my pups so excited and happy. I know they are in great hands and they absolutely love going. Thank you guys so much. Pork, Beanz and Cornbread can’t wait to continue playing there. I’ve been bringing my puppies here for about two weeks now and they LOVE going. When I tell them they are going to school they can’t get dressed fast enough lol The staff is always so friendly and greets my babies every morning I drop them off. I’m so glad I decided to take them there. They come home tired and happy. Pork and Beanz love this place ❤️
My two large dogs have memorized the route to Paradise, they are that obsessed! Highly highly recommend if you want a place for your pups to have a fun time while you are away
We love paradise. They have been so good with our 2 dogs and so accommodating when we were doing a new driveway and had to keep changing and adding dates. They even sent a card to us when one of our 11 yr old dogs passed away. That was very kind. We are so happy to have found them. We have been using them for the last 3 yrs.
Our dogs are always excited to go to day play. Our two Westies used to be scared to get groomed outside of the house but love going to Paradise. They work around their older dog medical problems and their grooms look great!
I have a new German shepherd puppy Leeah. I brought her in for a play day. She came home tired and relaxed. Which is Paradise. The staff is caring and I am totally relaxed leaving her at Paradise Luxury Dog Resort.
We were extremely pleased with Paradise Pet Resort. This was our first time using them and we will definitely be back. We traveled from NC to Melbourne to attend our sons college graduation from FIT. We left our Maltipoo overnight at Paradise Pet Resort and he came home clean and happy!! He suffers from anxiety so we were worried he wouldn’t do well. Once he made a few doggie friends he had a blast. We highly recommend!
GG is so nice and professional. She took care of our two cats Sammie and Luna for a week. She sent updates and pictures daily on how they were doing and settling in. I felt very comfortable with my girls being there. I will definitely continue to go to her! Thanks GG!
GG took exceptional care of our two kitties for a week. She kept us updated and even shared pictures. What a super nice lady she is! I will always use her pet sitting service in the future. I highly recomend! Easy 5 stars...I would give more if I could!
Gigi is the greatest! Our cat came home happy and loved and is more affectionate. Thank you so much for taking care and loving him. You are the best!❤️
From the initial phone call, to dropping off our emotional support cat Boo, to picking him up, it was a very pleasant, professional, seamless, reassuring experience. My girls are very attached to their ESA and was apprehensive about boarding him out overnight. However, from the initial phone call I felt comfortable that Boo would be in good hands. Room was beautiful, clean, well furnished with cat toys and everything to make a cat feel at home. GG is very knowledgeable about the needs of animals, and created a very safe and comfortable environment for Boo. I am beyond pleased with the level of gentle care, professionalism, and friendly service provided here. I will definitely use this boarding service again in the future, and I highly recommend GG's Gentle Pet Care.
I found GG for my dog with a bit of a time crunch. She was super responsive and got back to me and explained her services in detail. We then set up a date for her to meet him to make sure he is a good fit. I spent about an hour there just so she could feel him out and get to know him. Thankfully he loved it and I could just tell he was going to be happy there. Fast forward a week and due to weather implications I had to call GG and ask her to take him 2 days early and she was so accommodating. She is reliable and just warm and welcoming. My dog didn’t even look back when I dropped him off there for the first time! She texted me the entire time to let me know how he’s doing and posted so many photos on her Facebook page. He was so happy and I cannot recommend her enough. I will be bringing him back in a couple weeks and will continue to bring him there. If anyone is looking for a comfortable place to board your pet or just to have him play during the day while you’re at work, this place is it! Thank you GG, Cooper can’t wait to come back!
GG is a true angel! You won’t find a more kind and compassionate person. Our dog suffered from separation anxiety. After she started with GG she is a changed dog. She loves playing with her friends and is more confident and relaxed. I also know my dog is in good hands. GG posts photos of the dogs all day so you know how your dog is doing. I highly recommend GG’s Gentle Pet Care!
My dog loves going to play at GG's. When we are on the way there in the car she gets so excited when we get close. She truly loves GG so much and every time we come home she sleeps very well. I highly recommend this pet care for service.
GG is a very kind and compassionate pet sitter. My cat Akito loved his stay with GG, due to her warmth and the clean, playful environment that she creates for all the animals. I knew I left Akito in good hands, and I’m looking forward to leaving him with GG again. I highly recommend GG’s pet sitting services!
Roxy and Ace have stayed with GG many times. Her house and yard are dog-friendly and always clean. Our kids are never caged, they are allowed to roam freely as if it was their own home. Actually GG's is their second home! GG is kind, patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have peace of mind when the kids are at GG's house because I know they are safe and having fun. I highly recommend GG Gentle Pet Care!
GG takes amazing care of our dogs! You can tell she is an animal lover from the start! She sends you lots of pictures so you know your fur babies are having loads of fun! ^_^ we will for sure be using her for as long as we live in PSL!
