Sherry is wonderful! Our 2 dogs stayed with her for a week. She is so sweet to our dogs. She keeps the kennels clean and she has plenty of outdoor space for them. She also keeps some visual barriers between the kennels so the dogs are calm and not continuously barking at the dogs penned next to them. She has a nice set up. And she works hard to keep everything clean.
Tatum Pet Care Haven goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is not only safe but experiences the highest quality of care possible. Sherry is great with scheduling and responds in a timely manner so pick up and drop off are always a breeze. The Tatum Pet Care Haven facility is clean, inviting for dogs, and has plenty of room for my dog to run and play with other companion dogs. Sherry also helped kennel train my dog during his stay and ever since my dog has loved his kennel!! If you need one time or regular boarding for your dog, go with Tatum Pet Care Haven! You will not regret it! Thanks, Sherry 🐕
Tori and Mericle are quite literally MIRACLES! They are hands down the best dog/pet service ever! Their attention to detail and appreciation for my dog and my home is top notch. They send photos, keep you updated, and are always quick to respond- I couldn’t recommend them enough! Also they will groom your dog, clean ears, the whole 9…and are always reasonably price. Thank you so much!
Tori is the best and they are always super responsive and accommodating of my needs when going on work trips. No other people I trust with my dogs!!! Recommend Sunnie D to anyone in the SWFL area looking for a personal touch on quality animal care
I was a nervous last minute wreck when I reached out to Tori. She put my mind at ease took my Baby Rosita in. She is Very Friendly and is a true pet lover I got the vibe over the phone and when I seen her. Rosita is enjoying herself, there’s other pets I saw there having the time of their lives! Definitely my new permanent sitter/God Mom for Rosita ❤️ I will refer my friends and co workers to her!
Completely inadequate pet care was demonstrated by this company. My poor pets suffered due to their incompetence. All they had to do is sit at my house for a week, watch my pets, feed and water them, and earn $1200. Sadly, this did not happen. My dog, who was healthy as a horse before I left, wound up at the emergency vet hospital a day after my return because she couldn't eat, was lethargic, and had so much diarrhea with blood. I was so upset that I chose to send a message, before writing a review, to privately address my honest concerns. I expected some sympathy, a conversation with them, perhaps an apology. What I got was criticism, name calling, accusations of lying, and harassment. The truth is, the sitter was gone for hours at a time and was constantly sleeping. I have proof of this as outdoor Ring cameras and indoor cameras don't lie. Please beware of these people and choose someone else if you care about your pets' well-being. I know for sure they will never ever step foot near my home again.
I can never thank you enough for the kindness and care you gave to my precious Lilly in her final days. Your family is truly a blessing to all pet lovers. I highly recommend Sunni D Retreat!!!
Tori and Merical are the best!! They stayed overnight with my furbabies and took great care of my house and babies. My senior dog(16) can be difficult and has medical needs and my cat is very shy. They were easily able to care for them like they were family! They followed all my instructions better than any other sitter I’ve found, and for a great price!! Would highly recommend!!
A death in the family and job opportunity led me to Sunnie D Retreat. Less than a week before Thanksgiving, I reached out to them desperately needing help caring for my 4 year old Australian Shepard. I met with co-owners, Tori and Merical, who immediately put me at ease as far as leaving my pup with strangers. More importantly, my dog was comfortable with them, and they comfortable with her. Their initial interaction and ability to read her was impressive. Just 2 days later, during Thanksgiving week which a very busy time for any boarding facility, day care services began. Tori went out of her way to be available. For the past 3 weeks Tori and Merical have not only been caring for my dog, but providing transportation to and from day care. I’ve continued to be impressed with their communication, professionalism and genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Sunnie D Retreat to any pet parent in need of boarding or day care services. This is a home operation where your pet will receive individualized care vs. a large facility where your fur baby will one of too many animals.
You will not believe on happy your dog will be staying with Tori and Merical. They offer so much love and attention to your family's pet while they stay there. My Crystal was there during Hurricane Ian, Tori sent me pics everyday while we were gone. I never had to worry about her. Check them out, you wont regret it.
Fantastic first time experience with Sunnie D! Had a last minute business trip- was so thrilled that they responded promptly to schedule a meet and greet before dog sitting. Very caring and detail oriented! Not only did they take great care of our two large dogs but our home was immaculate upon returning. Will certainly use them again in the future!
My cavi loves going there!! Tori is wonderful with my dog she goes 3 days a week while I work a 12 hour shift. She comes home tired and well played out. Tori follows instructions on feeding training goals and medication. Tori is the best and so thankful to have found her
This young lady Jamie is wonderful. I quickly had to find a new pet service and somehow I ended up on Jamie’s site. I have two “difficult” cats and they loved Jamie. I am happy and am passing her name to all of my fur baby friends.
Jamie has been so amazing with my shih tzu Oliver. She takes such good care of all the animals who stay with her. I wouldn’t want any other person to look after my fur baby! I always miss him when we leave him but Jamie does a great job at sending pictures and making sure he is happy. I will admit he’s always sad to leave all his friends at McGregor Pet Care!
This is wonderful in-her-home pet care. Jamie follows standard animal safety standards, yet provides socializations between the boarders ! My 12year old cat adjusted to Jamie's separate room and over several days was able to use the entire home with small dogs and her own cat. No stress for my cat &we were able to enjoy our vacation
Jamie has been providing excellent care to our golden retriever for the last 3 years. He is three so she has had him for short stays and evening date nights since he was a puppy. Recently we added a dachshund puppy to our family and Jamie has already developed a relationship with him as well. She has had him for both short and long stays when we have been away. Her fully enclosed back yard is perfect for the dogs to play in. Jamie has always provided diligent love and care to our “boys” and they truly love to go to her place. They become excited as soon as we turn into her driveway. Jamie is patient, kind and caring. She is a real dog person and shows great passion in her work. Our boys instantly took to her and I would highly recommend her services as she is exceptionally reliable and reasonably priced. I love that she always sends us photos of the boys having fun with her while we are out too.
Let me start by saying if I could rate Jamie at 100 stars that still would not be enough. I was a very nervous pet owner when considering the whole boarding process. The overwhelming, feeling of trusting a total stranger with my dog, had my anxiety through the roof. A little backstory, we have had our dog for close to three years. We rescued her from a horrible situation when she was just over one. It has taken us a very long time for her to even feel comfortable with us let alone a complete stranger. From the first phone call with Jamie, she made me feel somewhat more at ease than anyone else that I had spoke to. I had spoken to “big box” companies but felt I needed something more personal. The first time we met her, we were welcomed into her home, and I knew right away that she would love and care for our baby just as we did. Jamie took her time to make sure that our dog was completely comfortable. She never tried to rush her. She waited for our dog to trust her, which speaks volumes to her experience and knowledge of pet handling. Unfortunately, our dog had a concerning diagnosis A few days before our trip was planned. After communicating immediately with Jamie, she assured me that administering her medication was no problem at all and keeping her calm would be a top priority. Throughout our trip The communication between my family and Jamie was outstanding. She sent pictures and updates. Confirming the medication had been administered, how she was doing, Updates on potty breaks( this was a worry for us because of the medication) and so many little messages That there was no space in my heart or mind to worry at all! I can honestly say that I will never be worried about leaving my baby with anyone else! Jamie is the real deal and from this point on she is our person. If you are looking for a honest, kind, caring, compassionate person to care for your pets, Jamie is it!
I recently hired Jamie, a dog babysitter and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. She was incredibly professional and showed a genuine love and care for my dog. She followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone in need of a reliable and caring service for their furry friends.
I can't even explain how grateful I am that I found Jamie! She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to help out her clients. She watches my puppy every day while I'm at work and has already made huge improvements in my dog's behaviors. Jamie is extremely compassionate and knowledgable and goes out of her way to accommodate my puppy's needs. She always texts me pictures/videos of my puppy to brighten my day at work. I highly recommend her!!
It was the first time with Jamie, and am so glad I trusted her with my dog. She sent pictures while I was gone and kept me posted of Charlie's behavior. Honestly, my dog was a little sad when I picked him up. Highly recommend.
Jamie gave us the greatest experience for our first time boarding the pups! We contacted multiple options for dog care to begin and met with and toured each facility gaining information and getting a feel for the folks who would be taking care of our dogs. Jamie was so warm and welcome upon arrival. The questions we asked were probably over the top but you can’t be too careful. She answered each question with confidence, looking us in the eye. She was not afraid to show us her home and how and where the dogs would be sleeping, playing, etc. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and organization inside the home. There were no buckets of water, clutter, trash. The outside area was well kept and tidy and no build up of items or trash that our dogs(whom are nosy) could into and possibly hurt or poisoned. Fence was sturdy and clean as well and the amount of backyard was a big plus! She also wanted to meet our pups before hand so she could make sure it was a good fit. They immediately took to her. Our dutchie went and sat right in her lap with no worries. That made us feel super comfortable. The whole dropping off process went perfectly. We left on our adventure feeling slightly worried, but confident knowing we left them in good hands. She updated every few hours(sometimes sooner) with pictures and the activities they were doing, they literally had a blast!! One detail I will emphasize on is that she was ready and willing to keep training on the schedule. She asked for feeding guidelines and things they are training with at this time. We are big on making sure our dogs have and keep their manners a part of their everyday life. She did a wonderful job keeping up with that as well, we had no issues with regression and going backwards in any of their manner training. All I can say is I will always choose Jamie & Mcgregor pet care as our second home for our doggos from here on out!! She has become part of our forever pack!
Jamie and her mother have kept our dog many times. We have a Klee Kai, and she is four years old. We had tried different commercial services, and Torrie would get so upset when we would take her to them. It was heartbreaking. Now, when Torrie is in the car and realizes she is going to see Jamie, she is so incredibly excited and happy. The last time we pulled into Jamie’s driveway, Torrie jumped onto my lap and started banging on the door with her paws for me to hurry and open the door, and then she leaped out of my lap and ran for the front door. There are almost always other animals there, and Torrie loves to play. Jamie manages multiple animals with such skill and care! We’ve never had a problem and always feel so great about where our fur baby is when she’s not with us. Five stars aren’t enough: I’d give her ten stars if it was allowed. And one other thing: Jamie has all 5 star reviews but one. She has no idea who that guy that gave her a 1 star review is, and if you look at all his other reviews in total, he has reviewed 11 things and gave 8 of them 1 star. That’s all you need to know.
I can’t say enough good things about Your K9’s Come 1st! Dirk & Jessica provide a safe & loving home away from home for my Weimaraner while I’m at work or out of town. My dog absolutely loves going there — he has made lots of friends & gets to play & have the best time. I never have to worry about him & am so thankful to have found Your K9’s Come 1st. I highly recommend both their daycare services as well as boarding — and they are very affordable!! Big thanks to Your K9’s Come 1st for offering the best doggy daycare/boarding in Fort Myers!!
It gave us terrific peace of mind to know our Rooney was being cared for by Your K9s Come 1st over the Christmas holiday week. They posted pictures of Rooney playing with other dogs and offered reassuring updates. Owner Dirk has known our boy longer than we have because of his affiliation with Rooney's adoptive shelter, and that long-term relationship is valued by us all. We are glad to have YK9C1 as our go-to boarding site!
I have tried numerous day cares, and boarding options for my dog in the Ft. Myers area. Most places I’ve tried just lock the dogs up in crates the whole time. Not here though! I have been bringing my American Bulldog to K9’s for years now. Dirk, and the staff there are great! Always accommodating, and always have the dogs interacting with each other. They are the greatest in the area hands down!!! 5 stars!!!
In the last 6 months, I have adopted 2 very different pups. One is a lab mix who is notoriously grumpy and the other is a Maltese mix who is skittish. I had never boarded them anywhere before, so I was nervous, but I heard great things about this place. OMG! My dogs absolutely loved it there! When I went to pick them up (they didn't see me, but I saw them) they were running and playing, tails wagging! It was clear they had just had the best time. I love knowing this is a great place for my pups to stay.
Our dog, Skylar, loves it here, and I am so happy to have a safe place for him to run and play with other dogs. The owner Dirk is awesome. We also board Skylar here, as they have cage-less boarding. Excellent service!
My dog went here many years ago until he had to get surgery on his knee and was no longer able to run, jump and play. He loved it here. It would wear him out and he would get plenty of exercise. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic dog care facility. Dirk does a great job in caring and teaching all breeds of dogs. I highly recommend this dog care center for all your dog care needs.
My dog Daisy absolutely loves to go to daycare and I can go about my day knowing she is well taken card of. Best place in the area for your pets!!
You could not find a better day care for your dog. They are very attentive and love all of them.
Best place ever for Day care for your pet..your dog gets love & has fun
I boarded both of my labs for a long weekend. Dropped them off on Wednesday called on Thursday everything was fine they were eating and no issues. Came back to pick them up on Monday and was told my older lab who is almost 13 would not eat so they switched her food and she had diarrhea. She ended up being so sick it cost me almost $700 in veterinary bills. My vet could not believe they switched her food. They never reached out to me before making the change. No call, no text, no email, no communication whatsoever. My other lab came home with an eye infection which was even more cost in vet bills. Absolutely horrible experience, I would never trust Tiki Tails again & this was not the first time we have used them. I don’t know if they have new management or what but this was not handled appropriately at all. In response to Tiki Tails Response to me: you offered two days of boarding to resolve this. Why would we want to bring our dogs back to you so we can incur additional vet bills? No way! Also, you did not try to resolve this in additional emails. In fact, my last email was never acknowledged or responded too and that has been well over a week ago.
Our sweet Charlie loves going to Tiki Tails! They take such great care of him!
Had an awful interaction with the angry mess of an owner. She literally threw a fit in the waiting room. As an animal lover, I don't think any pet should be left alone with someone like that. Went to make a review to warn other pet owners, and was confused to see they have 4 stars as I've heard (and now seen) awful things about this place. Then, upon further inspection I see that every google review under 5 stars receives a personal attack. Seriously, go on google and look for yourself! No wonder people are scared to leave bad reviews! One review even begs the owner not to attack her online just for telling her story about her dog being mistreated. And yup, you guessed it, there was the owner throwing a tantrum down below. Owner threw her fit at me for being 5 minutes late to an appointment. (9:07 by the time she showed up.) I didn't speak but once to quietly apologize and try to leave, but she continued her angry rant. Gosh she was such a mess. I gave her time to call and apologize, as I was sure this wasn't normal behavior, but nope. If I receive an online attack trying to turn it on me, I will gladly voice what was said to me. I only spoke once to apologize for being late. How I was treated was NOT okay. Protect your pets!
Highly recommend Tiki Tails daycare and boarding. They have created a fun and safe place for dogs to play and socialize. Each of their associates is professional and caring. Can't say enough positive things about them!
We love Tiki Tales! Best in the business service! We know our pooch is loved and cared for as much or more than when he’s home.
Maggie Mae loves going to Tiki Tails to play! The staff is very interactive with the dogs and we always pick up a happy dog who I sometimes think she would rather stay and play longer! The staff is great! Groomers are very good!
After moving to SW Florida my Aussie was missing all his friends. We had lived in a townhome and he had LOTS of friends and now even though we had a great backyard, we felt he needed more. I had found out about Tiki from a friend. We finally got everything together and did Scooters interview. I am so glad we did. They suggested we do a few days in a row to get him used to it. The second day when we pulled onto the road and into the driveway he was so excited and couldn’t wait to get inside. He may not be ready to play with all the other dogs, but at least he isn’t resisting going and all staff has been amazing.
We love Tiki Tails!! We are new to the area and were looking for the right place for our dog as he is a bit shy and learning how to socialize and play. He absolutely LOVES Tiki Tails. As soon as we park he is so happy to be here which confirms that the staff is amazing, attentive, and caring. I love being able to watch him on IG stories! He loves going to play for the day and we've boarded him a few times as well. Each time he's been boarded the staff has been extremely communicative on how he's doing which gives us ease of mind! I can't say enough good things and we're excited for the new facility. Thank you Tiki Tails for always taking great care of Sunny!
I brought my dog for daycare three days in a row while in the area. She absolutely loved it! She was excited to go back - a clear sign to me the staff are not only loving and attentive but keep the group safe and controlled as well. As someone who has worked in the dog boarding/daycare industry for years, I am PARTICULAR and everything about Tiki Tails surpassed my expectations. The staff were welcoming and incredibly friendly (with people and pets!) and I was obsessed with watching my dog on their Instagram stories while she was there. Thank y'all very much for keeping my baby safe and happy, I would bring her back in a heartbeat - highly, highly recommend!
Tiki Tails was recommended to me by another client. I have to say I am more than pleased with the daycare and my golden, River, LOVES it! Without a doubt my favorite part is that they constantly post stories on their Instagram, so I get to see my boy playing and having a great time all day while I’m at work. The staff is super friendly and the rates are reasonable. I highly recommend Tiki Tails!
I was a little skeptical at first, because my 3 dogs are like my children! But after reading the reviews for Miriam and seeing how happy everyone was with her dog sitting I decided to give her a try! It was amazing! My dogs instantly loved her, she had this sweet caring aura and I felt instantly safe leaving my babies for 2 weeks! I highly recommend her and I’ll definitely use her over and over again without any hesitation! Thank you Miriam for being a part of my doggy family 💖 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐶 🦴
So glad I met Miriam she was so good with my 4 little ones.I have 2 Frenchies and I have 2 mini pinchers they all came back happy healthy and with their tails wagging. I’m so glad she accepted cash app so I did not have to run to the bank. Will recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you again Miriam .
My big boy loves Miriam, she is AWESOME!! She always makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. 100% Recommended🥰👍🏻 …
I'm so glad to find a sitter that I could feel comfortable leaving my beagle with. She kept me informed about my dog throughout the entire stay with FaceTime and videos. I would definitely use her professional services the next time I visit Florida!
I was notified when i arrived to drop off my pomeranian that she only takes cash up front. Luckily i had it with me. She would not allow us into her home, or view the location that she was going to keep my dog in. I thought this was odd, but figured with 88 5 star reviewsand nothing less than 5 stars, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Her ability to communicate is somewhat disjointed. She sometimes would not answer yhe questions asked, but just comment about my boy having girl friends. I observed some of the same behavior when dropping him off, and picking him up. He was professionally groom a few days before he was dropped off. When we picked him up, his back half was damp and he smelled of a kennel. His tail hair was matted, and all oh his hair was "oily", which I've never seen on my dog. Additionally while there, she did send many photos of him, but his ears were always back in submission. This is something else I've never seen in him. After being cleaned up though, he does seem healthy, and unharmed. And he is almost back to his normal self after 8 hours or so.
My Xena had an amazing time, would definitely recommend. Very accommodating and made sure my girl was comfortable
Miram is an amazing baby sitter, she takes care of our animals like they are her own. She's got the whole set up, and an amazing heart. Her prices are very reasonable. Can't find more of an amazing women than her. I'm so happy that I found wagging tails 💯💯 this will be forever be my animals sitter …
Definitely recommend Miriam. She sent me pictures of my babies (dogs) throughout their stay. Miriam is very sweet and affordable. Don’t hesitate and book her. Thank you Miriam 🐾🐾see you real soon. …
Came to Cape Coral to see family, and took my boys to day care. They both had a wonderful time. She worked with my schedule, at a really reasonable price. Thank you so much for the great care you took with my baby's.
Miriam, the owner of Happy Wagging Tails, is an animal lover and a very gracious person. She cared for our Springer Spaniel and treated her like family. She sent us pictures every day. Definitely recommend her
Kendra was kind, professional and communicative from the time I first reached out to her until she was finished taking care of our pets for us. We’ve never left our dog for this long with someone she doesn’t know and we worried how things would go. Kendra sent us an update each time she went to visit with photos showing happy, playful pups. We will only trust Kendra with our pets from here on out. She was incredible and we can’t thank her enough!
I would only trust our 3 dogs with Playful Paws for watching them whenever we are out of town. Kendra is amazing and truly cares about the service she offers and makes sure of any special needs prior to watching our dogs. Kendra or Rosie stay overnight at our house when we are away, it is was like one of our family members when Rosie “babysat “ the dogs while we were away. They treat your pets as their own. We are so grateful we found Playful Paws and our dogs are happy to see them when then arrive at our house. If you don’t want to worry about your dogs when you are away then contact Playful Paws.
Amazing experience! True animal lovers! It was our first time leaving our babies alone while going away on vacation, while we were nervous it was clear from day 1 we had nothing to worry about! We received pictures and updates daily of all of our animals. When we returned you could tell they got plenty of attention while we were away and were truly loved! Thank you for taking great care of our babies!
From the moment I met Ms Kendra she was so kind, accommodating, trustworthy and responsible. My pup immediately took to her . I never worried a day on my trip because Kendra went out of her way to send me daily updates with photos which really put my mind at ease . Knowing I had someone with such character allowed me to enjoy my trip. It’s hard to entrust your fur baby and home to someone but I never once had to worry. Kendra really went the extra mile to come meet my girl on a Sunday afternoon, n a last minute emergency situation and even picked her up and dropped her off !!! When I arrived home my pup was content and calm . Kendra even took my trash barrels in for me !!! I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am that I found Playful Paws and Ms Kendra. She will now be part of our family! Xx
Great communication before during and after our trip. Our babies were very well taken care of. This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs and cat and are thrilled to have such a wonderful team to count on when we travel again. Could not have asked for a better experience.
We couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters for Molly. Rosy took great care of her and kept us updated every day on Molly. This is the first time we have left Molly for any period of time, and Rosy made her quite comfortable. I would highly recommend Playful Paws for pet sitting any time.
Our dog, Sparky, loves Best Pets! We know because she races in & is excited to see the staff at Best Pets! It’s a great place because they care about the dogs and the dogs are able to play with the other dogs that are in their care. Most places keep them in kennels all day but not here. Sparky comes home happy & tired after a fun day at Best Pets! Great place!
They always take such good care of our dog. He absolutely loves going there to stay, and the staff treat him like one their own.
We had an alright experience here. Dogs seemed to do well so thats what matters most. Would give 5 stars but the grooming service has gone wrong and one pup is traumatized now... at least any time we try to trim her hair.
Best Pets is the absolute best place to take your dog. Patty, you and your staff are amazing. This is the fourth year we've come here and left our dogs here. I wish we had someone this great back home I could leave my dogs with. Obi and Poppy will be back.
Our dogs were very well taken care of and they were happy. The staff quickly learned their personalities which gave me peace of mind to leave my fur babies.
Wouldn't allow me to board my 3 Pitts for 8 hrs tomorrow while we helped our daughter move. We live 4 hrs away and didn't wanna leave them in a hotel room all day while we are gone and was told they won't allow them bcuz of their breed! My dogs are not aggressive! They wouldn't even allow a meet and greet before saying no. Such a shame
EXCELLENT! 5 STARS!!! This is the first time we have ever boarded our dogs. I had always used friends and family for pet sitters, but since our dogs are older and require special assistance and on-time medicine, we wanted to ensure they were in the best hands. We did a lot of research and Best Pets came overwhelmingly recommended! Patti and her staff were super helpful and awesome, and they truly are animal lovers. They gave our dogs and others a lot of attention. One of our dogs requires assistance walking and they were great with him. We love the live video feed to check on our fur babies any time of day or night. Patti went above and beyond when we forgot our dog's medication picking him up and she dropped it off at my house at 9:30pm so he wouldn't miss his night-time dose! Excellent people! We will be back for sure! Keep up the great work!!!
We took our fur grand daughter here for a week. While it was hard to leave her, Patti made us feel very secure leaving her in the hands of other pet lovers. We loved the fact we could watch storm on the cameras. I did a lot of research before I settled on Best Pets. We were a little late picking her up so I called to see if they could wait for a few minutes and they did. I highly recommend this facility. Thank you guys for making it less painful in leaving storm for a week.
Our older dog never did well with other dogs or people so we never could board when we went on vacation. When we got our puppy we knew he had the best personality for it but still nervous leaving your dog with someone you don't know for a long period of time. Let me tell you, Humphrey is a shy dog but he RUNS into this place everytime. They are all so loving with the dogs. There are cameras you can log into anytime of the day. Very clean and he comes home so tired from the fun he had. Thank you for always taking care of our pup!
Amazing place and caring staff! We were in a jam as we were on vacation and our dog was barking nonstop in the hotel room, we decided to board him. I contacted this place and they were able to help me immediately. There were cameras so I could see how well my pup was being taken care of, I even saw one of the girls kissing my boy Onyx. It was also nice to know that my boy was able to play with other dogs his size, so much better than being in a crate all day! He had a buddy the whole time he was there. I am so grateful and completely recommend Best Pets. Ty!
Happy Paws Ranch treated our puppy like he was their own. He has separation anxiety from us and they made sure he was comfortable. Gayle provided updates on how he was doing everyday, sending pictures and videos. We loved that they do not keep the dogs in cages. The dogs have a very personal experience where they get to run around outside all day and sleep in the comfort of a home. Happy Paws will definitely be our puppy’s home away from home when we come to Fort Meyers. Thank you for taking such great care of him!
Best place to leave your well behaved, non-aggressive pet while you are on vacation. I MUST feel my dogs are in a safe & fun environment while I am not with them to be comfortable leaving them any place while I am gone. Happy Paws Ranch is the place that gives me that feeling! The dogs get to choose cage free indoor/outdoor fun time with the other clients who are in residence at the time. They are treated as family during their stay. You can tell by your dogs reaction when you drop them off & pick them up that Happy Paws Ranch is not a stressful place for them...on the contrary, it's a place where they meet other dogs and play all day and sleep all night. A tired dog is a happy dog is a good dog!
Well wouldn’t know how the new owners are. The previous owners were awesome. But new owners will not allow any dog that is not neutered. Sort of got rude with me made me feel like I am a bad pet owner cause I didn’t want to neuter my akc schnauzer. What do they always say my body my choice. Same with my dog. Would not recommend very rude owners. I guess they can’t figure out if all animals are neutered at that time then a non neutered animal would not be a problem. Stay away from.
We can't say enough great things about Happy Paws Ranch!!! We have used them quite often over the last 2 years for our 3 (sometimes 4 with a foster :-D) pugs and they are just awesome!! 2 of our guys are older rescues with multiple health problems/on multiple medications and we feel very comfortable leaving them with Happy Paws Ranch. The thing that I love the most about Happy Paws, compared to other boarding places that we have used in the past, is that they really, really get to know your dog...and our dogs never appear to be "stressed" when we pick them up. In fact, they get excited the times that we pull up now! They know all of the little quirks and characteristics of our little guys...and that means the world to us...and makes us feel comfortable about going out of town. Highly recommended!
We found Gayle and Happy Paws via our cousins on Facebook. Being new to the area we had tried two other places and were not happy with the way our dog acted on a second visit. A trip to Happy Paws is like an enticing play date for Carmela. She knows where she is going and can not wait to get in.
Happy Paws is amazing! My fur baby loves it! Super nice people, lots of fenced outdoor space, no cages, other furry friends to play with- it's a vacation for your dog! :) 100% recommend!!
We love happy paws ranch and ESPECIALLY our dog Brooks does. They are so friendly, have a great system and yard for the dogs. It’s really a vacation for our pup.
AMAZING! We love having a place for our beloved canine family. They are kept safe and are much loved by the staff. When we have to be away from our dogs for a brief period of time, we are comforted by knowing that they are happy and so well protected.
I have been in contact with Happy Paws for months arranging for my pup to start coming to doggie day care and boarding. I sent vet records with shots which also showed her breed as a hound/lab mix confirmed by the vet. Nothing was ever said in the many emails that any breed restrictions applied. Even if they did mine is a hound/lab mix. I got there today and was told sorry she “looks” like a restricted breed. I was floored. She was schedule to be in day care 2x per week and boarding over Christmas and now told “sorry we can’t take her”. Very poor communication and now I am left in a lurch. Thank goodness for Brower Kennel who took her same day for day care. I am on a waiting list for Christmas which didn’t have to happen if this place told me 3 months ago about their restrictions. If it was going to be based on looks they should ask for a picture.
This is a home away from home for any dog. The owners of this ranch are very friendly and loving. Lots of room to run and play for the dogs. We have left our Maltese with them for two overnights and she loves it there. Since we moved our previous dog sitter is too far away and when an emergency arose we came across the Happy Paws Ranch. We could not be happier with the choice we made. Evelyn Touhsaent-Lawrence
Love, love, love Andrea. The care and attention she gives my boys is phenomenal. We all love her in this household. ❤️
We’re very grateful to have Andrea to take care of our pets while we’re away! She has stayed overnight in our home several times to take care of our dog and our rabbit. We love that she keeps in touch with us during her stay, with daily pictures of both Benson and Theodore, and brief updates. When we return, our house is spotless and our pets are happy-It’s as if we’d never left! We feel lucky to have found Andrea to stay with our pets while we’re gone and highly recommend her!
Andrea was fantastic! We used her for the first time while we were away on a 8 day cruise, and it is always a bit anxiety provoking entrusting your pet to someone new. However, she made the process easy. Andrea was kind, organized and punctual. Her rates were very reasonable with no hidden charges. She provided regular photo updates while we were gone. And most importantly our cat seemed to get along quite well with Andrea appreciating her compassion and company!
Please give Andrea’s Happy Pet Care a try! I guarantee you will be 100% satisfied. When I had to leave to out of town for a week unexpectedly. I was stressed about leaving my senior dog. Andrea put my mind at ease with sending pictures, video and message with each visit. Daisy, my beagle was super happy and loves Andrea. Nice to know I have someone I can rely on in the future. I highly recommend her services!
Andrea is a very good person, and very trustworthy! She will take good care of your pets!
We are the definition of helicopter dog parents and have done research/ trial play dates with other local daycares but there is no comparison to Dogtopia! Our miniature schnauzer puppy, Moose, loves everyone there and he is so clearly loved. He greets everyone each day with kisses and tail wags. The employees keep me updated with photos of all the activities they do each day. We especially love all the photoshoots and celebrations. They adore our little Moose and we couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Dogtopia!
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Clean environment. My dog comes home after daycare tired out from playing with all her friends. Creative activities my dog can participate in throughout the month such as peanut butter bubble parties, brain games, birthday parties with other dogs, art classes and so much more! Your pet is like child and it’s very comforting know your pet is in great hands.
I love Dogtopia! Leo always has so much fun every time he goes! They offer cute different activities for the puppies to do everyday! Leo won a prize for winning their apple bobbing competition! He looks forward to see his besties every week! And he always is so tired after playing all day! 🩷🐺 …
Emmie Rose absolutely loves Dogtopia! She’s made some great friends. All the staff are true dog lovers. They go beyond to make sure you and your pets are happy! Emmie below in her Halloween costume. A fun time all month every month with the calendar of events. Emmie won in small dog class “Bobbing for Biscuits in the caldron ❤️❤️
I LOVE Dogtopia and the staff are so friendly and attentive to the dogs. They do their best to enrich our fur babies with different games and activities each day. They also offer grooming services, which are priced very affordable - and it’s convenient since the dog is there anyway! I know my Frankie is safe whenever I leave them with this great team and he has made some new friends. Even when I miss him I can check their live feed and see him having a great time. So thankful! He knows the words “day care” now and can’t get in the car fast enough. 10/10 definitely recommend
Amazing Experience at Dogtopia! Dogtopia has been absolutely wonderful with my golden retriever, Leo! From the moment we arrived, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. It’s clear how much they care about the dogs—they treat them like family! When I picked Leo up, he was so happy, which made me feel even better about leaving him there. It’s great to know he’s in such a loving and safe environment. He even made new friends, and I can tell he had a blast! 😊 Thank you, Dogtopia, for giving Leo such a fun, love and a happy experience. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind you provide, and we can’t wait to come back!
Well trained and friendly staff, very clean and inviting atmosphere for our furry friends. They have tons of fun activities and Nike absolutely loves going to Dogtopia.
Dogtopia was recommended by my coworker and I must say I’ve been very happy with our experience. Our golden retriever can expend all that pent up energy which makes him less anxious and more manageable overall. The staff is attentive and treats our baby as one of their own and I can leave him there without any reservations knowing he will be cared for very well. Highly recommend Dogtopia Ft. Myers!
My pup Gus loves going to Dogtopia of Fort Myers. We have been Dogtopia clients for years at other cities and were thrilled when the Fort Myers location was opened. It is so conveniently located and I love how their staff makes drop-offs and pick-ups so easy and quick. You never have to wait more than a few minutes. My baby comes back home happy & tired from playing with all his friends- August, Daisy, Bisco, Thunder. We are also proud to have made so many referrals to this location and all our referrals are so thankful for it!! The staff is always excited to see Gus and Gus is equally excited to see them.
Staff is very attentive to dogs' needs even providing a calendar of entertaining events and snacks to keep the pets busy. Cameras provide an additional layer of comfort. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog to board for the first time. Facilities are very clean and well organized.
