Dog Sitters in Minotola, NJ

My family needed a pet sitter when we went on vacation, and Nicole was excellent with our pets: 3 dogs and 2 cats. She even brought our mail in. She is trustworthy and dependable. One of our cats was angry with us the previous year when we returned from vacation. But this time when we returned, he wasn’t angry at all because he bonded with Nicole. She even sent photos and videos to us while we were away. I highly recommend her!!

10/10! Nicole is such a genuinely nice person and truly cares for the pets she takes care of. She has been so flexible with my schedule and is always willing to work with me so my fur baby has a safe place to stay wether it’s for a couple hours or a couple days. My pup gets excited when we pull up to her house for daycare! She is very in tune to each pets individual needs and personality. I have been so happy with her services, I can’t imagine taking my pup anywhere else!

Nicole has been helping out our family on a regular basis, for several months. She is very hardworking. Always ensures that each pet has everything they need. We are grateful we found her & hope to continue with her in the future.

We have used Cole’s pet siting for 2 years now. She has kept us updated with text and photos throughout our travels. Our cat loves to see Nicole she even greets her. I highly recommend Nicole she has put my mind to ease every time we go away.

They are so kind and courteous and Nicole really does take caring for our pet seriously. She is so professional and careful and is such a loving caretaker for our little furry guy! Will definitely be using anytime I need pet sitting or care.

Looking for someone you can count on and trust in your home to care for your pets while on vacation is very hard to find. We were very fortunate to find just the right person at Colie's Pets. Nicole was just that person, she met with us at our home to explain her services and to meet the dog family. We set up schedules that worked for us, which covered walking, feeding, and medicine regimes that were needed for one of our dogs. We received pictures and updates daily of all their activities. We could not have been happier with her services, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation free of worry and anxiety. She deserves our 5 Star recommendation. We have already booked two future vacations with her to provide for our dogs. We thank you, and our fur babies thank you!! Jini and EJ

We always have a great experience with Nicole at Collie’s Pet Sitting & Services wether it’s for several days or a short afternoon visit. She takes great care of our pup, Bogey and always shares photo/video updates which bring a smile to my face knowing he’s having a fun time running and playing outside and exploring! Definitely recommend!!!

I highly recommend Nicole and her pet sitting services! She came and watched my kitty for a week and provided top-notch care. I was nervous to leave my kitty but I was able to relax on my trip because I knew he was in good hands with Nicole. She texted me regular picture updates which helped ease my anxieties. Nicole is kind and trustworthy and I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 😺

We found Colie's pet sitting to take care of our boys while we were on a trip. And there wasn't a part of Nicole's service that wasn't awesome. She came over for a meet and greet with our pups, she was polite, on time, and gave off a an impression that we could trust her with our boys. Our boys are our whole world. She came over, took amazing care of our boys, sent us pics, communicated any concerns, and most of all allowed us to have some peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 would recommend. She was amazing and we'd definitely work with her moving forward.

Nicole is a great pet sitter! We were out of town for almost two weeks and she took great care of our three cats. She sent us daily updates, including photos of all our cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter that you can trust!

Today was my 1st time going to Tip Top Kennel. I was very happy and satisfied with the grooming services my dog received. Thank you shelly and staff for a job well done !!!!

April 2024 was the 1st time I used Tip Top and it was because I needed a kennel last minute and my normal "go to" was booked. I found the prices very reasonable. My dog had good care for 5 days. Ashley who answered the phone was very professional and well spoken. Drop off and pick up were easy and I had no problems. I would definitely use them again!

If i could give it 0 stars i would. The 1st time my dog went here he ended up with kennel cough. The 2nd time we were told to drop him off between 9-10am. It was almost 5 1/2 hours later before he was finished. We asked that his body hair be shorter then his face hair and it was the opposite not to mention the girl at the counter had attitude. Everyone can do what they want but that is the last time i ever go there.

I cannot say enough good stuff about Pam and Rick! They are awesome animal people with a heart of gold. I have been taking my past three dogs to them for over 20 years. They hire very professional groomers, their place is extremely clean and they care for your pet like it was their own! I have used their boarding service for my dogs a number of time and the dog comes back just as they go there...only cleaner! Their name says it all! TIP TOP KENNELS!

We live around the corner and I chose this kennel as a convenience. What a great choice that was! The employees are amazing with my dog, Zion. Z for short. He is a rescue pet and was abandoned and abused. He is a little afraid of people. He loves to go there so that should say everything!! Pricing is also reasonable.

Great experience! My two dogs had to be boarded on short notice, Tip Top Kennel’s was very accommodating! Extremely reasonable pricing. Even though it rained all weekend both dogs came home smelling fantastic! Definitely will be using Tip Top Kennels again!!

This place was recommended by the breeder that we received our Great Dane puppy from. This place is great the personal that take care of your pet are very friendly and knowledgeable they treat you and your pet like family not like a customer. They offer you to call for updates on you pet while your away I recommend this place

Trimmed my shy dogs nails with no problem at all! Very professional

My minature schnauzers get groomed there every 6 weeks. Very kind and caring people. Best dog groomers in the area.

My husband and I are so happy with how amazing our Australian Sheppard looks after his grooming experience today! He’s only 10 months old and super fluffy so we weren’t sure how he would do, but the staff made sure he was comfortable and did a great job! Definitely will be going back from now on!

Michelle is easy to work with and very flexible with her scheduling. She treats my two lap dogs with kindness and love. When she finishes walking or dog sitting Chloe and Coco, Michelle will update me on how their time together went. When I tell my babies that Michelle is coming today, they get excited and always wag their tails. Michelle handles my babies like they are her own, and I truly appreciate that! She is trustworthy and will ease any of your worries regarding pet care! She is a blessing to my family!!! Without hesitation, I recommend Michelle to assist you in your pet care needs.

If your looking for a loving, caring pet sitter Michele is the one you should definitely go with. Michele has been taking wonderful care for our dogs. Our first dog was Lady who was diabetic and required shots, which Michele was excellent at and Lady loved and trusted her. Years later we now have an another rescue her name is “Bailie” and she absolutely loves being with Michele. I just can’t say enough about how trustworthy honest & caring a person she is. Thank you Franny

Michelle has done a fantastic job for us. Super reliable, great with our fussy cat, sends us pictures while we are away. We wouldn’t use anyone else. I have someone real close to our house that hires teenagers to do the work for her. I don’t want strangers in my house. Michelle does her own work and I really trust her.

Michelle is the best. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She treats my dog Phoebe as if she were her own. She always follows up with a text and sometimes a photo saying all is good 🩷🐶🐾 I highly recommend Tailwaggers! …

I’ve been using Michele for almost 10 years now. 6 years with my first dog, and now with my 2 new dogs. She’s reliable, totally trustworthy, and my dogs love her! I know for a fact that she really engages and plays with the dogs when she comes to your home. And she’s so willing to work around my changing work schedule with no problems. I highly recommend!

This was my first time using Michele for my cat, Flynn. She was good with him during my vacation. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Flynn each day she was with him. She followed my Instructions and left my home in good shape. I'll use Michele again for future trips.

Michele was great! We needed a pet-sitter for about 5 days to take care of our troubled child-a black, feral cat with anger issues. She braved morning and evening rush hour traffic in order to give him 1/2 hour feedings twice a day, change his litter, and attempt to play with him. Unfortunately, he was often hiding when she'd come. He, also, attempted to bite her a couple of times, and growled quite a bit, but by the third day, her warm ways began to coax him out into the light. She sent us photos, so that we could see his progress. When we arrived back home, the house was in great shape with no destruction, and Batman was just as we left him, and maybe, a little less troubled. If you're looking for an exemplary pet-sitter, Michele at Tailwagger's Pet Sitting Services is the best, and she's beyond trustworthy. We'll definitely be using her again,, if she'll have us. P.S. Tom's wife wrote this.

We love Michele and Tailwaggers! Michele is amazing with our crew and whenever we travel we know our dogs and cats will be well taken care of and relaxed and happy upon our return! We use her whenever we travel and highly recommend! If you value peace of mind knowing that your furry family members are in good hands you’ll want to go with Michele and Tailwaggers!!

Michele is an Angel!! We were so nervous to leave our 3 Pomeranian for two weeks but Michele took such great care of them. She notified us every time she went to visit them and when we got home they were clean, healthy and happy! Usually my Lacie (the smallest white Pom) has a rough time when we’re away and doesn’t eat but Michele worked her magic and Lacie had no problem. We plan to use her services every time we need to leave town. Thank you Michele!!

Michele is so great with my bunnies, she is extremely loving, caring and always so cautious. She takes the very best care of my babies always! She gives me peace of mind anytime that I need to go away, because I know they are in the very best of hands! She is a true blessing and is highly recommended to be trusted with anyone’s pets!

The kindest people that have ever cared for my pups. They get to know them, their quirks and likes and dislikes. They took care of my pup with cancer just like we would. Even though they are far from me, 40 miles, I will continue to have them care for my pups. They send updates and photos so I knew my pups were loved while we were away. Support a fantastic small business.

Highly highly recommend for grooming!!! My 3 year old pup Winnie is an energetic, very anxious doggie while grooming and we've been trying to find a groomer right for her. We’ve been coming here almost a year and we couldn’t be happier. Ann is her groomer and she is the BEST! She along with the other groomers are SO patient with her. They give her breaks while grooming because she gets highly stressed when on the groomers table. You can tell it’s a team effort amongst the groomers. Even though Winnie is super anxious when going there, she will go right to Ann with no problem which says a lot. Ann is always offering ways to help Winnie feel more comfortable and help her acclimate to grooming. It’s comforting knowing that they are taking the best care of her, and it’s awesome how they treat my girl like she’s their own. 5/5!!!

Best daycare and boarding ever! My pup Tucker has been going there for 4 years. He goes twice a week for daycare. Two years ago, we moved to a new town about 30 miles away, but I guarantee nothing compares. If we stopped going, he'd be heartbroken. PP is a beautiful farm with horses, goats, pigs, turkeys, ducks, chickens, guinea hens, and more. They have external yards for play, including pools and sprinklers for when it's hot and indoor facilities for when it rains or is too hot/cold. The staff is warm and welcoming, and my pup loves them all! The facility is beautiful and immaculately kept. They hold parties for the dogs weekly and its adorable. After a full day of play, Tucker passes out in the car and sometimes sleeps through dinner. He is tired and happy. We have boarded him several times and are very pleased. Whenever we're vacationing, I always worry about him. Since we came to PP, I don't worry anymore. They send me pics! Be sure to check out their Facebook page!

100% would recommend!! I have a high energy pup so I’ve been looking for somewhere to get his energy out while also socializing safely when I’m working. I did a tour for two other places before I found pampered pups. I do a lot of training with my dog so I was worried about bringing him somewhere without full training. They showed me around and explained their day to day. They also asked what kind of training I do so they’re aware of his dos and donts at the moment. They made me feel good about leaving him without my attention on him. He did great on his evaluation and came home with pictures and a report card. I can’t tell you how much fun he had his first day there! They are extremely attentive, and they cared about my routine with him. I would give them 100 stars if I could. They are fantastic and they wholeheartedly care about their clients, pup and human needs.

I've been bringing my akitas to Pampered Pet for years! Lei is the BEST handling large dogs who are not super cooperative with getting their nails trimmed. She's patient, kind and fast! Akira loves her!

Pampered Pup gave our Dachshund excellent care! We would highly recommend their services!

I cannot say enough of how grateful I am to find such a nice, caring & loving dog groomer. I would recommend everyone I know to go to Pampered Pup! My pup, Parker, felt like a new young man after getting pampered. At Pampered Pup the cost was extremely fair for the services provided. The groomer at Pampered Pup was very professional & when calling to make the appointment for Parker it was easy. Pampered Pup location was easy to find to & has a driveway in U shape which makes it very convenient for customers. There are signs that let you know exactly where to go. Soo thankful I found Pampered Pups & We already have our next appointment scheduled!! Thank you for making a stressful situation NOT stressful @ all; it was a breeze with your kindness & loving personality, it truly means so much ❤️

I can’t say enough how awesome the staff at pampered pups are. They are very caring, loving animal people. They keep an extremely clean, comfortable environment for all their pets. I have tried other pet hotels in the area and none are as nice and clean as pampered pups. They are always accommodating and Ann the groomer does an amazing job cleaning the dogs. I highly recommend pampered pups…

Everyone there is so nice! This is my 3rd time taking my dog there and will continue. Monica always does a great job! Highly recommend :)

Beautiful people very dedicated incredible care the only place I would take my Mary

Jessie is by far and away one of the kindest, most attentive, and passionate dog sitters weve ever met. She took care of our 3 dogs for over a week and we could not be happier. The dogs were well cared for and looked great when we got home. She even saved us with some last minute visits when our old dog walker couldnt handle our new GSD puppy. What's more amazing is how even our neighbors were impressed with how attentive she was with our dogs, playing and training them in our back yard. She would send us updates everyday with pictures and videos. And when we got home we found special treats and gifts for our pups courtesy of jessie. Above and beyond doesnt come close to how we feel about her services. Jessie is just outstanding, best decision Ive made for my pups.

Jessie was amazing with our dog, Jax. He’s usually very anxious when we go away, he won’t eat or play etc but when Jessie watched him none of that happened! When we got home he seemed a bit upset that it was us walking through the door and not Jessie I would highly recommend Jessie to watch your 4 legged fur baby, she’s wonderful!!

Amazing!! I asked a friend at work since she does a lot of pet rescue work, if she knew of anyone who could look after my four legged daughter while on vacation and she gave me Jessie's dogs. Jessie is amazing! She cares so much for all of her four legged children. I say children because she treats them as if they were her own children. From the moment i met her, I knew that maizie would be in best hands and spoiled. Jess knew that this was going to be the first time leaving her for an extended period of time that she sent text messages and videos every day so we would know she was ok and having a great time. You can throw your worries out the window when your loved one is staying with Jess. If you cant tell I would highly recommend Jessie's dogs.

Jessie is absolutely the best . She really knows how to interact and manage all different types of dogs . The amount of time she spends with them and to video and take pictures so she can share is above and beyond . I would only allow Jessie to take care of our Jaxie :)))

What a a rare find Jessica is! Someone you trust to love and take care of your dogs when you are gone is priceless! I highly recommend her!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks drew!!!

Thank you!!!!

This "grooming shop" is nothing but a cover for a dog breeding operation. These selfish people are breeding French Bulldogs for high profit while MILLIONS of dogs get euthanized every year! It's sad and disgusting that these people do this! Do yourself a favor and go to a reputable groomer/pet boarding facility and please don't support people like this ADDING to the animal overpopulation crisis!

I absolutely love this place. I've been using them to groom my cat since the previous owners. The new owner is very professional and truly cares about your animal. The groomer is amazing with my cat who is very high strung and stresses out easily. I will not take him anywhere else. They are also very reasonably priced.

My family and I cannot say enough good things about Alotta Luv and their staff. They took care of our senior Jack Russel who is 15+ years old and the newest member of our family 14 month old Golden doodle. Our pets were so well taken care of and they were very happy, comfortable and stress free when we picked them up. They weren't in a rush to come home. It was almost like leaving them with family. We will definitely use them again!!!

Took my son’s dog here 3xs while she was staying with me. She is a corgi and sheds ALOT so I like to take her every 3-4 weeks for cut bath or both. First time they did a perfect job with a full grooming. My son and I were extremely happy. 2nd time was just a bath. The 3rd time was a joke! I dropped her off and 40 mins later they called me to come get her. I knew right there they didn’t do a thorough job. It usually takes 2-3 hours for a full grooming which it did with them the 1st time. Her hair was barely trimmed still quite long around her neck underbelly and private area. She was still damp and wasn’t brushed thoroughly. When I took her to visit my son he noticed that they cut her whiskers down to tiny stubs!! He was so upset!! I’ve never had a groomer cut one of our pets whiskers!! I am so mad and upset over this!!! That’s something unexpected and should definitely be discussed with owner prior to doing. Only thing I can think of what happened was when I picked her up there was a man behind the desk sitting next to the woman who worked on her prior and did a good job? Idk but the difference is shocking! She’s back in nj with me and needless to say we are currently looking for a new groomer. I very rarely write bad reviews but this was ridiculous!

This place is great. I always take my Dog here to get his grooming done. Only thing is reception sometimes gets snarky and gives attitude but other than that really good place to bring in your pets.👍🏼 …

Alotta Luv Animal Lodge provided a decent stay for my dog during his week-long visit. As a mom and pop dog kennel, their personal touch and care were evident, making it a comforting choice and I won't hesitate to use them again.

They do an awesome job with our Duke. He's a 2 yr old German Shepard, and they groom and bathe him for us. The train him a little as well.

Best groomer in New Jersey. CC really does an amazing job. No hesitation taking any dog to Lotta Luv!

I am very happy that I found this kennel! They are awesome with my dogs, Max and Zeus! Their staff is very friendly and they truly care and show compassion towards the animals in their care!!!! They are very reasonable priced as well!!!! CC is an amazing trainer ……I have learned so much from her and have recommended her many times!!!!!! George , the owner of Alotta Luv is very kind and knowledgeable!!!!!! He takes pride in his kennel and is improving it and expanding to where they sell pet food! I would not hesitate to leave my pets in their care! Their grooming services are awesome as well!!!!!!!

Wonderful service !!! my cat had a bad flea problem. They took him in soon as we called. He was screaming, crying and scared when I dropped him off. When I picked him up he was purring and smelled beautiful. He purred the whole way home ❤️ will definitely be back !

Best place for your dogs!! Whether you are boarding them overnight, for a few days or just a day for daycare.. your dogs will leave happy and tired :-) They have so much room to run around... and it's not too many dogs per dog attendants in the yard! Many places we've gone.. there are wayyyy too many dogs to keep track of. This place, not only has lots of room to run around, they always have different enrichment activities to keep your dogs happy. They offer so much for what you are paying for. Lots of different treats and services. My pups Chewy and Pandora are always so excited when we pull up. Love how the attendant know them to as they are pulling us in :-) They have great communication. We were in a different country when they needed to update us one time and getting in touch with them was easy. We highly recommend this place. Your pups will love you!

My pups stayed here for 2 nights in a flying solo penthouse to keep them happy as my one pup is dog reactive. I just picked them up and they are the happiest pups right now. I know they received the best care and were so loved while we were gone. The pickup time was SO well orchestrated. The workers all seem to love what they do and truly care. Thanks for everything!

It was Jameson's 1st time boarding and he had an amazing time! The staff always kept us informed of how he was doing, sent pictures and report cards. We are so very grateful for all the staff at Fetch! Jameson didn't want to leave 🩵 It's so comforting to know that he was so well cared for and loved!! Thank you to all! He will be joining doggie daycare soon!!

Wonderful facility and staff! My dog Jack loves it here and was very well taken care of by the daycare staff. Large indoor and outdoor play spaces. Highly recommend. Your dog will be in good hands.

Fetch is the only place I will board our pup Wyatt. Their care is exceptional! We loved getting tailored report cards and pictures every day while we were away on our vacation to ease our mind. Our pup gets so excited to go to Fetch as soon as we pull into the parking lot! We recommend Fetch to everyone we know for boarding and daycare!

I have been using Fetch for daycare and boarding since we moved to Pitman NJ. I’m so glad we found this place. My dog Buddy gets so excited once he realizes where we are driving to. They are very professional and run a very controlled safe environment. I feel very confident in the care they give my dog , and Buddy is our whole world and we don’t trust just anyone with him. I also like that they have fun holiday activities that your pet can participate in.

Where do I start! Fetch Pet Resort is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It all started with the phone call, to the “special treat “ offered to Howie, and last but not least, the wonderful staff! All were wonderful experiences for our family and “ our Howie “. I can’t wait for him to meet more pup friends and experience ALL this place has to offer. Thank you so much, Howie🐾 and The Medina Family

We were very happy with Fetch Pet resort family and services. They took excellent care of our cat Suki and made her feel right at home . We were updated often of her well being and spirit. Will definitely use their services again.

Fetch was simply incredible with my Josie. I can’t describe how priceless it was to have peace of mind while I was traveling. I cannot wait to send her for day camp! I will always use Fetch pet resort for any of my boarding needs and I will recommend them to everyone I know. The staff truly loves your babies like their own. 20/10 would recommend!!!

Max had such a great time at his first day! He was knocked out all night from how much fun he had. The staff is so sweet and you can tell they truly care about you and your pup. They made me feel so comfortable leaving him there to play. I highly recommend Fetch to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for your pup!

Kat is the best! I have four dogs (no easy task) and Kat took the best care of them while I was away. She kept in contact and sent many photos; no need to reach out to her first because she was on top of it! My dogs were happy and comfortable in her home, I would absolutely recommend Kat and would definitely use her again the next time I’m away!

My mom had Kat take care of her dog Mila on multiple occasions many times for the last few years. She always raved about how flexible and accommodating Kat was plus the multiple daily update pics. This was my first time leaving my older dog Chilli here. I had cancelled my kennel reservation & took a chance on leaving Chilli with Kat with short notice — she scheduled a meet & greet asap & fit me right into her busy schedule. I couldn’t be happier with my decision! I received daily updates & had peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Chilli took all of her medications, ate her food and handled Chilli’s difficult temperament with ease. I am very happy with my experience and will recommend her to anyone who is in need of a more personalized care with a dog sitter instead of a typical kennel or dog boarding facility.

On Capt'n Jack first visit to Kat’s Puppy Paradise. I got very good vibes from Kat (the owner) who is very friendly, approachable, a good listener also Kat does try to accommodate you if there's a change in your plans. Kat's Puppy Paradise is neat, clean and smells fresh, safety proof, escape proof inside and outside. During the initial "getting to know you visit" Kat and I exchanged questions and concerns to confirm Capt'n Jack will be a good fit with the other Guests. Kat texted me pictures 2-3 times throughout the day of Capt'n Jack and his socialization with the other Guests. Yes, I can honestly say it was a paradise experience for Capt'n Jack!!

Kat was amazing with my Pepsi! She sent me pictures everyday (sometimes several times a day). I have never left my dog with anyone before and she was so patient and has such a great vibe. I knew instantly she was the perfect person to care for my doggy. I would recommend her to everyone and i definitely feel relieved to have found someone who is trustworthy, clean and super caring to watch Pepsi! Now i get to plan more vacations!

Katherine was a great pet sitter for my two yorkies; I meet her when booking her yard on Sniffspot (which is a great yard btw) and I immediately felt this good vibe from her; you can tell how much she loves and cares for all the pets. I would definitely recommend her; she is really good at sending updates of your pets and even gives you a day report. I will def book her again!

My wife and I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, and Kat is always so quick to help when we’re in a pinch! She sends us pics and videos every time to reassure us they’re in good hands while we’re away. :-) Super professional and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend!

Kat was absolutely AMAZING! I’m so thankful for her. I was very nervous to leave my 6 month chocolate lab. Kat took her right in, made her feel welcomed and treated her as her own. I received text updates, photos & videos throughout my whole trip. I will be using Kat’s services again. This is a 10000x better option than boarding your dog in a kennel. Thanks Kat!😊

Kats Puppy paradise was great! First time sending my miniature poodle for 3 days. I had no complaints. Katherine was awesome, home was very clean, she was very responsive and professional and kind. She took good care of my Chloe. I will definitely let her watch Chloe again.

Kat took such good care of my baby. I’m a very nervous dog mom and she really made me deal at ease. Deuce loved being in a home setting and having someone there to give him attention and even made a new friend. Kat was amazing and sending me updates and pictures which really helped my anxiety as well. Deuce doesn’t eat well when we are away and I was so happy when I picked him up and saw he ate all of his food! Thank you, Kat for caring for Deuce like your own! His smile in the pics you sent say it all! 10/10 recommend!!!

Kat took care of my Frenchie this weekend! She is patient bc he’s a HANDFUL! Her level of professionalism is top-notch. I won’t trust my baby with anyone else. From the initial call, she made me feel at ease; her responsiveness and follow-up were on point. During my vacation, she provided photos and updates. I can’t explain how happy I am to have found her (based on her outstanding reviews)! I picked up my baby, and she provided a report card. This report gives all the details you need. Guess what he’s invited back, and we will accept!. Thank you, Kat, for your impeccable level of service. 🐾🌺🐾❤️🐾🌸🐾

Halo House took good care of my reactive dog with their no-touch service. I was very anxious to leave my dog, but when I picked him up, he was happy as ever. Two weeks later, when I had to board him again, I was worried that he'd balk at going back to boarding, but when we pulled into the parking lot and let him out, he had no reservations about going back. The staff are very attentive and are helpful in answering questions and concerns.

I found Halo House on a Google search. After reading the reviews, I scheduled my Auggie to spend a week there while we went away. I was nervous because he's only 1 and had never been away from us. Halo House took such good care of him. The packages/extras they offer make pets' stay like heaven. Everyone is so sweet. They were responsive, and reached out after to check on our fur baby too!. Will def use them in the future and absolutely recommend.

They really sanitize their place there & really do a good job with my dogs grooming. My dogs get spoiled there when I bring them there. From the back kennel to the front suites the runs r nice for the dogs to run in and out as they pleased.

We recently rescued a 1 yr old terrier hound mix with known separation anxiety issues and Halo House came highly recommended. It was thankfully on the way to our vacay spot in N Wildwood. We were originally going to board no contact but changed our minds when he interacted with the staff because they were friendly and handled him so well. We also booked him for 2 sessions of play time (3 day stay) and instructed them to give sedation if needed. When we arrived to pick him up he was super happy to see us but we received positive feedback he didn't require meds at all. The workers are super friendly and I will gladly go out of my way to bring him back for all our future boarding needs. (We live 30 mins away) Reception area is clean and they are thorough with paperwork. Reasonable rates. Highly recommend.

Awesome!! Friendly grooming personnel. No caging It's been more than 8 months since I began bringing my babies to Halo House and they have been constant with their services, care and overall experience. I highly recommend them!

We recently boarded our dog twice at Halo House. They are a great place if you're looking for a safe spot for your pet. The front office is always very helpful in answering all of my questions and made me feel comfortable leaving my 4 month old puppy for the first time. I loved getting back the report card filled out by Nickey to let me know how my puppy did during his recent stay. Great communication and very welcoming!

We had always been loyal customers of Halo House - both boarding and groomer since the early 2000s. However, the last time we boarded our Shih Tzu there, she came home with a terrible infected rash on her stomach. She was lethargic and miserable. We took her to the vet right away and it took two rounds of antibiotics to cure her. The vet said she was likely laying in her own urine for hours. I called and complained and was ignored for weeks until I spoke to my groomer (also HH but a different location). She got me a refund on my vet bills after about a month. It's sad because they were our go-to kennel but never again. Somewhere along the line, they just stopped caring about treating the dogs well.

A year ago I took my German shephard puppy here so that she was not stuck in a crate all day when I go to work. She loved going here, she loved playing with all the dogs, everyone loved her and everyone knew her name. She was never a problem dog. All I had to say is let’s go to camp and she would run to the car. One day she came home from camp and while rubbing her belly I noticed a sticky spot on her fur and when I took a closer I realized it was dried blood covering a big wound from being bit. When I brought this to Halo Houses attention they had “no idea” this happened and had no idea what dog bit my dog. They said they would check the cameras and then told me they couldn’t look that far back. So whatever dog viciously bit my dog is possibly still at camp but who knows because the people that are supposedly watching your dogs aren’t watching them. They pretty much told me they don’t care and it happens and they don’t care about my money either if I decide to leave. We decided to let her continue to go here only when Sam was working because we trusted her and she enjoyed going here. We didn’t want our dog to suffer because of other ignorant and rude staff and management. We had been planning on getting a second puppy for awhile since she loved other dogs so much. We ended up getting another German Shepherd puppy after. She is only 5 months old and she is the calmest sweetest puppy and she also loves dogs. We were planning on enrolling her in camp again despite what we went through the first time hoping that she would also benefit from hanging out with other dogs like our other girl did. When I called to get started they asked me what breed and when I said German Shephard they said they don’t want to take them and that they can grow up to be bad and they need to check with management at this point I flipped out because I had a German Shephard come here already who loved dogs who wasn’t a vicious mean dog whatsoever EVERYONE loved her. What’s ironic is that they are worried about her breed but THEY COULDNT EVEN PROTECT MY DOG from a non targeted breed. Who’s the real problem here? Halo house is an example of what’s wrong with this world. Dogs need to be socialized so that when they are older they are good with other dogs but places like this turn them down so they don’t get an opportunity to become socialized. Afterwards they told me they will evaluate her but after spending thousands of dollars to have this experience and treatment from them I don’t want to spend a penny more! My German Shephards are the sweetest happiest dogs and deserve only the best treatment and this place doesn't give that. Some other dog got away with viciously biting my dog and yet my dog breed is the problem? YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! Get a load of this the owner doesn’t even like dogs. It’s great to have your dogs interact with other dogs that’s the only thing good about this place but certain people and the owner herself don’t give a damn about your dog or their well being! Come here and risk your dogs well being just to be told they don’t care. You lost great dogs and paying clients. Picture posted. (Edit in response to Halo House my complaint has nothing to do with your policies it has to do with the fact that Halo House was UNAWARE that another dog in the facility took a chunk out of my dogs skin and I was not made aware of this incident happening I found out on my own either Halo House doesn't pay attention to the dogs or you brush it under the rug in hopes that the customer doesn't find out that there was an incident. The policy also protects and allows a dog to remain in camp after biting a dog like this? Where are the policies for that? Second complaint is the fact that you give a hard time for allowing german shepherds in the facility and then brush it under the rug when other dogs bite. Incompetent company that does not take ownership for their lack of attention to your animals and for their lack of empathy. As far as protecting your clients I was a client that paid thousands to send my dog here for poor treatment so thank you.

Something happened to my Dog while she was here and no one ever called to tell me. She went in fine and came home limping and depressed. It took us many months and vet visits to figure out what was wrong. Maybe we could have figured it out sooner if this place had integrity and contacted us with what happened. So in the meantime my poor dog has been suffering in pain while we worked to figure out what was wrong and now are stuck paying thousands of dollars for surgery. Will never ever bring my dogs back here.

I take my Golden Retriever there every six to eight weeks for grooming. He’s always happy to Renee his groomer and he always looks great when she is done. I have never used them for boarding, however they truly seem to have your pet’s best interest in mind.

Truly love having our pets stay with the Joyful Acres crew! We don’t need to worry while we are away. They are so kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

I love the place. Very nice staff. My dog gets anxious in group settings, and so this place is perfect for him. Joyful Acres is 100 mi from my place, but i still make the trip every time my dog needs boarding.

Had my adult Siberian Husky, Cascade, stay at joyful acres on two separate occasions this winter, great experience, they took Cascade on a trail walk to visit the farm animals. Very happy with the service, great prices- will go back

We wish we could give more than 5 stars because they absolutely earned more! The owners and staff literally saved our dog's life while she was staying with them! She had become sick very suddenly, the staff noticed right away and sprung into action contacting us and getting her the help that she needed immediately. If they had chosen to observe her symptoms to see if they improved for even 1 hour (which would have been a reasonable course of action had she not vomited right after drinking some water), our dog would not have survived. Joyful Acres owners and staff treat the animals in their care with the same love and attention as they do their own. If anything demonstrates that your pet is in good hands with Joyful Acres, please consider our story as proof.

Sadly, we are going to put our 14 yo chocolate lab down on Monday after he has begun to lose more and more body function. As I was trying to decide what to do to make his last days filled with joy, my number one thought was Joyful Acres. From the time he was a young dog, he would be able to smell that we were getting closer and would work himself up into a shrieking mess until we pulled up and he’d bound out of the car as if he didn’t care if he ever saw us again. This was his happy place. (When he was about two, he jumped out of the car window and was running next to the car, he was so excited to get there.) So last night I fired off a letter to explain my request: could I bring him in for a deep massage shampoo for one last time at his very favorite place on earth and of course they said yes. I originally found joyful acres after a previous dog lost 10 pounds while we were on vacation, and we’ve been happy ever since. So tomorrow Arly will get one last time with the crew he loves with his whole heart. Thanks so much for always taking such good care of our goodest boy, Joyful Acres Crew! We could not have asked for better people to love him as much as we do!!

This place has changed they have poop all over there place for us to walk in when you drop off ur pet the staff is not friendly at all I walk in and I’m never greeted just handed the bill which is never what I’m quoted on the phone it’s always more I only used them for 4 days it’s almost 200 dollars and I come home with 2 cans of food I sent 5 one extra in case I can’t get there so they never fed my dog one of those days . I paid for them to take care of her they also charge me for walks and it’s obvious that they don’t walk them they just charge u for it because the dog is extra hyper when you get them so I won’t be using them any more they changed alot from what they used to be which was nice

If you must board, these folks care about your pups. They’re as good as it gets! Lovely and communicative. Signe, Brit, Jen, Susan, they’re all calm cool and collected! Highly recommend!

Can safe enough about how much they care and love on your pet, whether it's for the day or an extended stay; if you're looking for a place that treats your pet like their own, then Joyful Acres is it! Thank you, JA crew!

Our family is so grateful for Joyful Acres Kennel and all of the staff. On Labor Day weekend our Daughter-in-love went into labor. Our regular kennels in Northern NY we’re not available, so we called Joyful Acres which was close to the hospital. Joyful Acres answered the phone even on the holiday weekend! They helped us transfer our Vet records and were thorough which showed us they were professional and concerned the animals in their care. So, we drove our dogs almost 6 hours to Joyful Acres! Dog drop off went smoothly and our dogs seemed happy to go inside for their new adventure. I called multiple times to change pick up time and date and each time everyone was patient and kind. Pick up went smoothly as well. Our 4 dogs looked great and it was evident they enjoyed their stay as they were happy and playful. Thank you for going above and beyond to take care of our best friends, so we could support our loved ones in their time of need.

I boarded my lab mix here for the first time and I was so impressed! I emailed them while I was away checking on my pup and they kindly replied every time. They returned her all brushed and beautiful with trimmed nails (not even the vet can do that!). They took a lot of time to talk to me and ease my anxiety about leaving her which I greatly appreciated. Pup parents have the ability to choose different kinds of walks and 1:1 play times which I took advantage of. All around great experience!! If you are worried about leaving your pup, Joyful Acres puts your mind at ease. We’ll be regular customers for sure!

Can’t recommend High Standing Kennels enough. Dayna and Anthony are reputable and responsible breeders. Our GSP is an amazing hunter in the fields and a gentle family dog at home. When it comes time to get another GSP, I know we’ll choose them again.

Extremely satisfied! Dayna does an awesome job with our dog, Tucker. She is patient and knows how to work with dogs new to grooming (like our dog). He loves going there and we are always so impressed with how he looks when we pick him up!

Dayna was immediate best friends with our pup. We were certain our Bernese would be shy and not want to leave us, but she took an instant liking to Dayna which made us feel great leaving her in her care! We stayed in the area while our dog was being groomed and got a phone call 15-30 minutes before our dog was done so that we had ample time to make it back to pick her up. She came out smelling so good and her hair was so soft afterwards, which lasted the whole week to next two weeks. We felt like the price was great for everything our pup got done. We were very happy with the service and can’t wait to be back for our next appointment.

I’m so happy to have found Dayna at HighStanding Kennel! She offers full service grooming and gives her fluffy clients personal attention. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a very heavy coat. Dayna keeps her looking her best while maintaining a breed specific style. I particularly like that she is gentle and patient and that she takes the time to hand blow dry our dog instead of using a dryer cage. Appointments are always very prompt and are easily adapted to my schedule. I can enthusiastically recommend the grooming services at HighStanding Kennel!

Dana at HighStanding Kennel has groomed our long-haired Jack Russell Terrier twice now, the first time when he was five months old. She quoted us a price for a full stripping, but our pup’s fur was not ready for that yet. She could have easily taken the full amount but she did not. It is rare to find this level of honesty and integrity these days! Beyond that, Dana does an amazing job grooming him! We are so fortunate to have found someone who does hand stripping not too far away, and we are so thankful it is someone as kind and honest as Dana! Oh and did I mention... she is really really good at what she does!

Dayna is amazing with our poodle. He is a handful to groom and she always does an exceptional job. We're very satisfied!

Our Buckets loves Dayna ...he only lets her brush him. He always looks amazing when he comes home she’s been taking great care of him since he was a puppy. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!! Love his new teddy bear cut. 🥰

Our Pup is very relaxed there and looks great every time!

I would recommend HighStanding Kennels to anyone!! They do an excellent job grooming my dog Bella and keeping her calm during her time with them!

Always a great experience! I have been taking my dog there for almost 5 years now , and have complete confidence knowing they will always take good care of him.
