Dog Sitters in Oak Hill, FL

Teresa Birge is the quintessential lover of dogs! From the moment she walked into our home for the meet and great, we knew she had the Midas touch. We have left our Springer Spaniel and American Foxhound with Teresa several times. Each time has been a very special time because she passed out love to them like cookies. They love their Auntie Teresa!

Teresa is FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend her. You will not find any one more caring, trustworthy, and reliable for your fur babies. My husband and I were out-of-town for a week. We did not feel comfortable boarding our dogs and decided to find an in-home pet sitter. Teresa came highly recommended. She came to our house twice before we left on our trip to sit and play with the dogs. That gave us great comfort knowing they were going to be in EXCELLENT hands. We are very thankful for Teresa and will only use her in the future. Daytona Canines Pet Sitting Service is a wonderful asset to the Daytona community. Call her today!!

Theresa and her husband are wonderful! My dogs have been staying for the day or an overnight stay for over a year now. She also has come to my home to walk them when I have been away. My dogs love going to stay at their home. I feel assured knowing they are in good hands. She really cares. She sends pics to update you while you are away, and takes great care of my fur babies when I am gone. One of my two dogs are skiddish around new people, she offered to meet her before the first stay just so she would be more comfortable the first time I left. It definitely helped, now both of my dogs love it when they go to their home. I can not say enough great things about them, thank you so much for all that you do!

I have been using Teresa’s services for quite some time now. Whether it is scheduled or calling her last minute (which I’m notorious for) she is always there for my girls. They LOVE her. Teresa and/or her husband don’t just come over, let them out and leave. They spend time with them and play with them, always sends pictures, making sure their food and water are topped off. I know they are in good hands and would recommend her to anyone. She loves all her fur babies. Sandy

What a wonderful, dog loving person Teresa is! We were in town for the races and realized our little dachshund was not happy being left alone. Teresa came and stayed with him, taking him on walks and sent us photos of him while we were away. We could not be happier! She is awesome and we will definitely be using her again. She is the best sitter we have ever had!! Thanks again Teresa!!!❤❤

From the moment we introduced our pups we knew this was the perfect match. You instantly know and feel they have a gift of knowledge, care and love for pets. The photo updates kept us going and at peace knowing they were so well taken care of. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in loving hands. I can’t even begin to express the gratitude I have for the best experience for us and our pups. I will continue to use them in the future and make sure to let others know about them! Thank you so much Daytona Canine Pet Sitting and Teresa you are a blessing to our pups and us!!!!

The best if you want personal attention for your fur babies! Teresa spent time at our home with our pups, and set time for them to get acclimated at her home as well. Making sure they have what is best for them and you. Cant say how positive an experience it is. Short days or vacation, your puppy is in good hands!

Teresa is absolutely the best dog sitter around. She is reasonable, affordable and treats are pets like her our. I will not be going to anyone else. I highly recommend her!

Theresa & her husband Eagle are amazing with my two Great Danes! If you're looking for a safe, reliable, and more importantly, a loving place for petsitting, I don't think you'll find a better choice in the Daytona area!! Warm thank you to Theresa & Eagle for all that they do and provide!!

Teresa and Eagle are amazing! I've used their services twice already and will not hesitate to use them again. My babies had such a nice time I was afraid they wouldn't want to come home!

We just love working with Lauren at Dog Mom Per Sitting services. She clearly loves pets and caring for them. She’s very flexible to work with - even with last minute requests. She spends quality time with our dog, and we are much happier when we can’t be here knowing she’ll provide him with the same love and attention as we would. She always sends fun pictures which is a nice treat. Your pet will be in great hands!

Lauren has been out dog sitter for at least 5 year, and now she's helping with walking the dogs now that the kids are grown up and not home as much. She's been there through thick and thin, even with last minute travel changes and unexpected events. She's pleasant, direct, and communicates well. Her prices are fair. My family and I are blessed to have found Lauren.

Amazing! My dogs love the service. It is great to have someone we can trust to keep our pups safe and happy! Thank you so much!!

Our fur babies love when Lauren comes to visit! She always spends lots of time, and sends photos!

Lauren will love, nurture, take care of your fur babies like her own. She is like a family member to your pets. Trustworthy, reliable, professional, communicative, affordable and the multi level of services she provides you will not find in any other pet sitting company.

W have been using Dog Mom Pet services for over 2 years. We absolutely love her services. Always reliable and trustworthy. We work 2 hours away when we have to go into the office and it’s been a blessing to not worry about our fur babies being pinned up for 10 hours. She also sends me pictures of them to brighten up my day. They love Lauren.

I met Lauren (Dog Mom) when she was fostering the puppy we gave a forever home to. She is wonderful and kind with all animals. Definitely trust her with my fur kids!

Lauren has been wonderful, very reliable and my pup loves her. I am so happy to have found her! Finding someone to take care of your family is really hard. I highly recommend Lauren.

Lauren was wonderful! Our fur baby prefers the comfort of his own home, so she made sure that he was well taken care of. He was fed, walked, and loved on and we even received pictures and updates while we were out of town. I highly recommend Lauren for any of your pet sitting needs. She is the best!

We LOVE Lauren!!!! She takes such good care of our sweet Dood when we have to leave town. He stays at her house, and she loves on him and lets him snuggle with her. She always sends us pics and updates to let us know he’s doing well. We have recommended her to friends and family. I think Ollie has stayed with her about 4-5 times in the last (almost) 2 years. We are so grateful to know he’s safe while we are gone.

Wow! It’s been a month since we brought our little girl home! I cannot say enough good things about Bryn Kennels. If you want a positive breeder experience and you are looking for a schnauzer, Bryn Kennels is the way to go! Janice made the experience so easy. She is still available for any questions that I may have and our little girl is so happy and most importantly super healthy. She is just perfect! Thank you Janice for your integrity and for your commitment to breeding healthy happy quality dogs!

We got this little boy from Janis and he has been such a great pup. So smart, used the potty pad almost immediately after bringing him home. He has such a great temperament and is beyond adorable.

We got our mini schnauzer here. He is the cutest and sweetest boy. They are very responsive and you can tell care so much about their babies.

I bought a miniature schnauzer from Bryn Kennel in 2004 and 2024. Wouldn’t even consider buying from another kennel, or buying any dog except a miniature schnauzer. In my humble opinion, they are by far the best kennel and schnauzer breeder in Florida.

I just got my puppy in May and I couldn't be happier! He's beautiful, smart, and a blast and the purchase process was smooth and simple. I even got to visit him several times before bringing him home. Thank you!

Excellent puppies and great grooming services! Janice is the best!

I've never used a breeder, before now, but, without question, would recommend this one. We are getting two puppies, and we cannot wait! We were able to meet their parents, meet some of their other dogs, and they all seemed genuinely happy 😁. We left there feeling very comfortable with our decision, and they are lovely people! …

Great breeders here! The people were so nice and helpful!

They do a wonderful job and really listen to how you want your pet groomed. Good clean environment and they treat the dogs very well

This is a very first time we considered to have a puppy for our son and we could not be happier to get it from Bryn Kennels. I wish all businesses out there would be helpful, pleasant, kind, honesty and consideration like this business. We will not hesitate to recommend Bryn Kennels to anyone. We drove 2 hours to get our puppy on Sunday and they went out of their way to meet our needs. Very rare to see that in today market. We were glad to know this type of business still out there. Thank you so much.

I shopped around before I found Caring Hands. Yvonne’s setup, attention to detail, and warm atmosphere all made it an easy choice for me. I don’t trust just anyone with my Rottweiler, especially for a whole week, but Yvonne earned my trust and my recommendation.

Maureen has been a huge blessing to my family! Every day my pups look forward to her coming. They know the time she comes and they are waiting by the door. Maureen provides daily updates to me about my pups, which is great. She ensures that the pups are loved, their water bowls are full, and that they are content and resting when she leaves. I would definitely recommend her services!

Maureen has been caring for our two dogs for a few years now. I know they both love her!!! And, what a piece of mind to have your puppies at home when you away. She has fabulous daily updates and sends us pictures and messages letting us know they are having a good time. It is also wonderful to know someone is coming into your house that can be trusted.

St. Francis Pet Sitting Services is amazing! When we moved to Oviedo, my husband and I wanted to provide our 10 year old golden with potty breaks and interaction during our long hour work days. Maureen came to the rescue! Not only does she provide exceptional service, but our sweet pup absolutely loves her. It is very rewarding to come home to happy dogs! About a year ago, we got another golden (rescue) who at the time could barely walk around our block. Now she is thriving and walking the entire distance with Maureen and our other golden. I contribute a lot of our recent golden's success to Maureen and her compassion for animals. I also trust Maureen to the fullest - with our dogs and in our home. I cannot say enough wonderful things about St. Francis Pet Sitting Services! Thank you, thank you!

I am thrilled to recommend Maureen Cedergren and her business, St. Francis Pet Sitting. Maureen's professionalism, trustworthiness, dependability, and attention to detail combined with her sincere and genuine love of animals make her the perfect choice if you're looking for a pet sitter. We were extremely satisfied after trying her services recently instead of the boarding facility we have always used in the past, and we will never look anywhere else in the future! Compared to a boarding facility, having Maureen come to your home to care for your animals is a reasonably-priced option; more convenient (not having to pack up and drop off the animals while trying to get ready to leave on a trip or hurry home to pick them up before the place closes); less stressful on you without the worry that your pets might bring home fleas, ticks, or other parasites or diseases; obviously less stressful on your pets, being able to stay in the comfort of their own home; and provides peace of mind knowing someone is checking on your home daily in case any emergency should arise. From the moment you meet with Maureen for a consultation, you will immediately feel at ease. Give her a try; I am so glad we did! Our sincerest thanks, Maureen!

Great customer service Truly cares for your fur baby

Hi Noel. You are not a client of St. Francis Pet Sitting Services, Inc. in Oviedo. Were you trying to review St. Francis Pet Care in Gainesville or St. Francis Pet Care Center in Tarpon Springs and Trinity?

I cannot say enough good things about this place or its owners! Cheryl and her husband take such wonderful care of all of the dogs that go there. They know them all by name and treat each one like family. I know because I feel like they are my dog Pepper’s aunt and uncle! Between always sending the cutest photos of your dog throughout the day, having a ton of outdoor and indoor playtime, and just generally giving so much love and attention to your dog, there’s just no place better than this! I drove from New Smyrna several times a week to bring my dog here, and if I lived in Orlando, I would’ve driven from there. That’s how good they are! So many times, when I’d drop Pepper off to other daycares, she’d shake or just look very unhappy or nervous to be there. But every time I pulled up to drop her off to Small Paws, Pepper would start scratching at the car door excitedly, telling me to hurry up to she could get in as fast as possible! She’d leap out of my arms and into Cheryl’s most mornings, delighted to start the day there. I also had her board overnight there several times when I had to travel, and it relieved so much anxiety for me, just knowing that she was in such good hands. She loved it there so much and loved (and still loves!) the owners. We moved up north but anytime we’re in Florida, I plan to bring Pepper there - more for Pepper’s enjoyment than for my need for daycare! Thank you, Small Paws! You’re the VERY BEST and we wish you lots and lots of cute and bell behaved doggies 🥰🐾

A wonderful place to leave your pets. As with any pet owner I was always reluctant to board/kennel my dogs for numerous reasons. After meeting the wonderful people that work there and taking a walk around of the facility I was pretty confident my pets would be taken care of with lots of love and attention. There is plenty of room for outside and inside playtime with the other pets. Very clean and nice. They sent me 4+ pictures a day of my boys and they looked they were having more fun than I was on vacation. I enjoyed the photos so much! I would highly recommend Small Paws to anyone and everyone. Awesome facilities, staff and environment. Thanks from, Flea & Alamo

Overall, I cannot recommend Small Paws Relax Inn highly enough for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring environment for their dog. It’s clear that they prioritize the comfort of the pets in their care, and my dog truly felt at home during his stay. I will definitely be returning for future boarding needs!

Absolutely thrilled with Small Paws Relax Inn! Finally, there’s a happy haven dedicated to small dogs (& cats too)! My two pups, Sugar & Spice had a WONDERFUL stay & play at the Inn! Small Paws Relax Inn is clean, comfy & cozy, with amazing amenities. We truly appreciated the level of care given & the peace of mind you gave us from the regular updates. Thanks, Small Paws Relax Inn! We will be back fur sure! 🐶🐾❤️

Very clean and accommodating. This was a fantastic place for our babies while we were vacationing. Cheryl and her husband were so nice. They sent pictures and kept us updated which put us at ease. Our babies loved it! Would definitely reccomend for small dogs. Great environment!

Today was my dog's first day. I dropped him off around 8:30 AM and picked him up around 10 just for a trial visit. The owner is awesome and I could tell that she really loves dogs. When I arrived to pick him up , he was as happy as could be and I felt very secure with him being there. I feel very comfortable leaving him there again and trust me, I am probably one of the worst helicopter dog moms there is lol. I also wanted to mention that I was expecting the place to smell bad, because I know little dogs pee inside sometimes but, it smelled fantastic. I don't know how they do it but it's great. I'm so excited that I finally found a place that I can trust with my dogs. Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻

I brought my Maltese, Delilah to this wonderful place. She had a blast. Cheryl was kind enough to send videos of Delilah having fun with the other dogs. It's for small dogs only, and it's great. They have a great outdoor play yard and Delilah was zooming around as fast as she could. She was tired when she came home, and slept through the evening. Can't wait to bring her back. The owners are wonderful and watch over the fur babies in their care. Thanks Cheryl and Shawn

This was the first time I have boarded my dogs and I was very nervous about it. Then to top it all off, a hurricane struck while I was gone. Cheryl and her staff took excellent care of my girls, despite the unusual circumstances. I got lots of pictures and they seemed very happy. The girls were in great shape when I got home. I was gone for 12 days. I highly recommend Small Paws Relax Inn.

This place is one of the best things that has happened for me and my two furry kids! I leave them knowing that the owners really love and care for them and keep me constantly updated with photos and messages. If I could give it 100 stars I would!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I trust them with my dogs just like I would trust a family member. They have helped us so many times with last minute trips. They always go above and beyond and my dogs love them! They are true dog lovers that will treat your pup like their own. I know my little dog is safe and happy when she is there which gives peace of mind. Thank you!

We boarded our dogs at the facility for the first time for 7.5 days. Our dogs were perfect when we picked them up and he ensured prompt communication. Facilities are clean and service is great. Highly recommend and will use them again!

You will not find better care for your dog. Terry and his wife are wonderful! Thank you both for taking great care of our Lettie!

Terry is a great business owner who took awesome care of my puppy! His boarding facility is very clean and he cares about his boarded pups! We will be returning!

Bed & Biscuits is a great place to bring your dogs if you have to leave town. The price is fair and they get their own private little yard run. The owner is always friendly and takes good care of our babies.

Excellence! Very clean, very professional. Our dogs were very happy at Bed and Biscuits. We are very confident and comfortable when our “canine kids” are in Terry’s care. Highly recommend this kennel.

I took my dogs here for training and they stayed for 4 weeks and came back so well behaved I am absolutely amazed. They were puppies and didn’t listen to anything and now I can take them on walks and they don’t pull me and they sit and stay I am so happy with this training facility I highly recommend. I have a German shepherd and golden retriever

My dog seemed very happy to bark with other doggies, Terry was super nice and very accommodating. I will definitely be back.

I don't pick my fur baby up until Saturday, but I must say I am beyond happy with Bed & Biscuits. I was so nervous about boarding my Cheerio because she is a rescued pitbull who was abandoned in a house by her previous family. I didn't want her to feel like we were leaving her for good. Well, we bring her to Bed & Biscuits on a rainy Saturday morning and the owner was very friendly and professional. He put me at ease. Cheerio has been with them for a week and a half now and he has sent me pictures of her happily playing and it makes me feel so happy for her. I consider my dog one of my children and to know that she is being treated like a part of their family while with them makes me so incredibly happy. She will be going back in Sept for our trip up north for sure. I highly recommend this place.

They are close to home and affordable. They took good care of our 2 dogs. Would take them back again.

Terri is excellent and always available to keep Dorothy. The facility is clean and the dogs are well taken care of. Dorothy is always happy to go visit her friends for a few days

Marianne is wonderful with our Yorkies. She has taken care of them for years and we are completely happy with the care/attention they get along with making sure our home is taken care of when we are away. We trust Marianne before letting our kids watch our pets. Always know we can depend on Marianne for our pet's needs and concerns. Thank you for all you do!

This is a great pet sitting service. Trustworthy. Reliable. She is a certified vet tech. A variety of services are offered. Consider this pet sitting service next time you need to leave your pet. ( much better than boarding your pet)

Marianne's Pet Sitting service is wonderful. She has helped us a number of times and our dogs just love her. Trust is a big factor when you have someone come into your home and take care of your pets. I trust Marianne and highly recommend her service.

we met Marianne through another pet sitter who was retiring. She came to the house and met Kevin (our fully energized Aussie) and Jake (our no energy rescue something). She was great from the start. She loves our pups and treats them like they're her own. She is always on time and send a report with pics immediately after her visit. We could not recommend her any higher!

Thank you Marianne for taking such wonderful and awesome care of our two dogs while we are away from home ! It is such a relief to have you take care of them at our home where they are the most comfortable and loved and spoiled by YOU😍 …

we are so extremity happy to have found marriannne , she takes great care of our boxer who used to get very stressed out when we left him and now you would never know we left , he loves her and is greatly taken care of while we’re gone .

A really great experience as Marianne goes beyond your expectations in caring for your pets. We have used Marianne's Pet Sitting Service on three occasions and have been very satisfied with her care and highly recommend her services. You will be pleased. Another great pet sitting with Marianne. We love how she cares for our two Chow Chows, yes Chow Chows. They love her and she handles them so well and they love her back. You cannot go wrong using Marianne’s Pet Sitting Service.

Marianne was awesome from the minute we reached out to her. Very helpful friendly and professional. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs for 11 days. I would most definitely use her again. Carry Marti

We've used Marianne several times to take care of Our Boys (cats)! Can never imagine using anyone else! We never have to worry about them while we are gone and that is PRICELESS!!!

Can you please let me know what made you give 3 stars? I am not sure why since you are not on my client list.

We came from out of town for a last minute trip with various changes to the itinerary and this facility and staff were more than accommodating. It’s clear how much the staff enjoy our pets and their well being as seen by their effective time management and personalized time with each dog individually as well as in a group setting. Continuous communication is kept with the owners through pictures, videos, and messaging through their portal online. My pup normally has terrible separation anxiety, but didn’t even look back when I dropped him off. And the training I signed up for was not only effective but also practical for a home setting environment with video tutorial for the owners to understand the commands. This isn’t your typical kennel boarding system, it’s quite the opposite. Hank will be back :)

We brought our 3 year old pit mix for play n train with Heather, and it was amazing! He already knew basic commands but needed improvement with listening on the first command, walking on a leash without pulling, socialization, not jumping on people when he greets them, etc. At play n train he had the opportunity to interact with other dogs and do training throughout the day + go on field trips to get comfortable in dog friendly stores. One of my favorite parts of the program was that everyday I received pictures and training videos to see his progress! It’s been two weeks and we’ve already seen so much improvement. After the “training handover” now I know the best approach and commands too. We all learned so much and now I look forward to using Bed N’ Barkfest for doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming!

My two standard poodles had a blast at daycare this week. They played and played and Heather took so many pictures of them and all the dogs and sent them to us at the end of the day. Fun! Heather and her team seem to really enjoy the pets in their care and do a great job with them. Dogs came home pooped out...will definitely be going back!

Heather and her team are absolutely THE best with my pup. She loves everyone there and I feel safe boarding her at Bed N Barkfest! Heather sends this worried mama pics while my little girl is there, which is very much appreciated! Heather has trained my girl twice, traditional training and off leash training and I couldn't be happier with the results. Heather came to my house to refresh both me and my dog. The facilities are clean and fun for our furry babies. I am well aware that there are several other options in NSB for daycare and boarding but I will continue to send her there as I know she will be loved and well cared for.

We've been using Bed N Barkfest for our boston terrier puppy, Lola, since she was a little over 3 months old and we are SO HAPPY with Heather and all of the staff. Lola loves getting dropped off at daycare, smothers everyone with love, plays hard all day, and comes home a very tired and happy puppy. The interaction with so many dogs from a young age has made her great with all kinds of dogs. The photos we get totally make our day, too! We'll be using Heather for more training with Lola really soon and she will have an overnight stay in the near future. We trust them, love the ease of pick-up/drop-off, and feel like Lola is in wonderful hands when she can't be with us.

My mini schnauzer loves this place and the young trainers. He gets so excited when I drop him off so I know he is well treated. I highly recommend Heather, Abby and all the staff.

Veda's first doggie daycare experience was this week and it's been amazing! Veda LOVES Bed N' Barkfest!! I love that they text me pics of Veda with her new friends each time she's there! 💜 Thanks, Heather and team for taking such good care of her! …

The Bed N Barkfest is always there when I need my 2 labradoodles to be boarded for vacation or a busy week at work. They consistently clip my dogs nails and give them quality haircuts when I need them too. Thank you for providing quality, friendly service!

Bear has been going there for a few weekends now. He loves playing with all the dogs. When I pick him up to go home, he's exhausted and goes to sleep all day. I also get pics daily of Bear and his friends. Check it out if you need a pet sitter or over night stay!

My dog had a great time at Bed N' Barkfest while we visited family at the beach! The daily photos they sent were a great way of putting us at ease, knowing she was having a good time fellowshipping with other dogs and getting plenty of exercise and attention. My husband said he thought she wanted to stay with her "friends" when he went to pick her up! Thanks for keeping her safe and entertained while we were away! My kids felt comfortable with her being there too and have already asked if we can bring her back next time we need a place to board. :)

For me they are friendly and reasonably priced… My dog would give daycare 5 bones and over night care 4 1/2 bones only because he enjoys a nice couch to relax and snore on !

After the hurricane, we were displaced from our home. This put us in a tough and tight situation!! The owner was so great! She offered for both of my dogs to be groomed at no cost. We are very grateful!!

****UPDATE******** FOR********MY*******REVIEW! Recently, I had a conversation with Eric, the owner of A&E Pet Resort, following a bad review I posted. To my surprise, he apologized and informed me that he would be refunding both our dog's stay and my $1400 vet bills, as he believed it was the right thing to do. That refund total would have been $2500. I was impressed by his willingness to rectify the situation. I told him when I returned home I would update my review to reflect that but I wouldn't feel comfortable allowing my dogs back. He said that was fair. Since I am a snowbird and was out of town (which I told Eric), my husband informed me that a woman had called to inquire if we had received the check yet. I was out of town still and just returned home last night so I opened the check this morning. To my disappointment, the check was written for $1400.00, the exact amount of my vet bills. I promptly called and left a message for Eric to clarify that I was expecting a refund for the dog's stay as well, and that my vet bills actually exceeded $1400.00. The reason I didn't ask for the full vet bill amount is because I have dog insurance, so I didn't want to receive a double payment, I knew what I'd receive from them so I deducted that amount off. He didn't know that piece of information. Regrettably, instead of returning my call, Eric chose to reply in writing, accusing us of being liars. If Eric wishes to conduct business in this manner, that is his choice. However, it is important to note that he is the one being dishonest in this scenario. To substantiate my claims, I will be posting my vet bills as proof. I told the owner at my groomers this story since I had to cancel their appointment that week and I was told a similar story in regards to A&E by one of the groomers - she said never again. ************** *************************ORIGINAL REVIEW********************* I recently had the unfortunate experience of boarding my dogs at A&E Pet Resort, and I must say it was an absolute nightmare. Not only did my pets come home what appeared to be a parasite but they were also covered in feces, which is absolutely unacceptable. While we were bathing the feces off one dog my other dog showed signs of the same issues by going number one and two on the floor - she’s potty trained. There was nothing solid about what happened for a whole week. Sorry to put that mental picture in your head but it’s honestly putting it mildly. I brought them to the vet where they were treated for parasites, given fluids, and received antibiotics. I immediately called to express my concerns, however, the response I received was far from satisfactory. The manager, whom I spoke with, simply offered a half-hearted apology, claiming that she takes things "very seriously and the disinfect twice per day." Well, let me tell you, her words did nothing to alleviate the hell our family and dogs went through for over a week. There was a second trip back to the vet for my youngest dog which now totaled $1400 for both trips. I also want to point out that my all of my one of my dog’s paws were infected. I was told most likely from her stress licking. I understand it’s stressful to leave your dogs for even one day, but we are frequent travelers, she’s been boarded many times (other locations) and this has never happened. We paid for a bath for both dogs yet came back in that state. There was absolutely no way anyone could have over looked the state they were in. I told the manager a phone call would’ve been nice - she agreed. I could have made other arrangements had I known. Sadly, my dogs unfortunate experience with the negligence, and dismissive response from the manager make it clear that A&E Pet Resort is simply not a reliable or trustworthy place for me to leave my pets again.

Let’s talk about Training with Dee and Caroline! My almost 2 year old pup did the board and train with these ladies. Apollo had some good training in the past, but needed some reminders and some serious training on focusing and obedience. I’ve never been able to get him to lay down or “place” and lately he wouldn’t even go near his crate. He’s doing amazing now thanks to these loving and dedicated ladies! They worked with him and loved on him every day for 10 days! I’m so proud! But that’s not all! They take the time to educate me as well. They had me practice before I would leave. They explained why and how things needed to be done. I’ve learned so much in just the past 10 days! Top notch training and top notch people who seriously LOVE our pets! As far as A&E Pet Resort goes - These are some of the most loving, kind people on the planet! Always welcome us with a smile and even a hug! They’re not just a business, they’re like a family!

Never again - Read ALL their reviews. A&E is a local marketing powerhouse. They advertise all over social media, and no doubt have happy customers that sing their praises. We used to be one of them. However, our most recent boarding with them and how it was handled was completely unacceptable. We trusted our 2 dogs with them for 3 nights in July since they have been to daycare a few times and done well, and have family pets that are (were)regulars there. When we got them home after our return and they calmed down from the excitement of finally being back home I noticed one of the dogs had fluid filled edema on both of her back legs, and that where she had calluses on her front legs, they had become raw and itchy, and she had lost a good amount of hair around them. She also had a sore in between her paw pad on one of her front feet. She refused to eat that night. She's a true lab in every sense and eats everything in sight, so this was very abnormal. Our GSP had not stopped itching since he came home and had a raw spot on his nose and his entire underside was bumpy and red. 2 days later we took them to the vet because they had not made any improvement. Our labs nose had become swollen, itchy, and she rubbed it until it bled trying to itch it. She still would not eat, and her energy level was absolutely zero, also very unlike her. Vet suggested they were exposed to something, but was not able to sayt exactly what. $340 later we had antibiotics and steroids for both dogs. I sent an email to the address listed on their website. Knowing how active they are online, I expected a fairly quick response. However, nearly 2 weeks later there has been no response. My email was simply to inform them of the situation in the hopes that they could investigate the issue and prevent other dogs from getting into this situation. I did not ask for a refund, I was not rude. I simply wanted them to have the info since, at the time and based on how they portray themselves, I believed they wanted what would be best for the animals in their care. The best case scenario here is that they missed the signs of what was happening. If that's the case a simple "we're very sorry this happened and let us look into it" would've sufficed. They said they were fine and ate all their food while there. I'm sure they seemed fine in that environment. They love being around people and other dogs so there was plenty of excitement and adrenaline flowing. With no response but plenty of positive marketing going on, I simply replied to one of their Facebook posts asking for someone to read the email and respond. Instead, I received a snarky reply of "we're sorry you feel they had a bad experience.....". It's not that I FELT that they had a bad experience. They came home with sores and infection. Literal verifiable proof that their stay was a "bad experience". Then they deleted the post and completely blocked me. After reading their reviews it seems this is certainly not the only time that dogs in their care are returned with skin infections and generally worse off than when they were dropped off. They are unable to take ownership of any negative issue or handle criticism without trying to place the blame back on the pet owner, or ignore it all together. They've grown quite a bit and it seems maybe gotten too big for their own good. The thing that got me the most though, is that not once after they were made aware of the issue and responded in that Facebook post, did they ask about how the dogs were doing. That says a lot to me.......

It is so nerve-wracking, leaving your fur baby in the care of strangers. However, with the excellent care my pup got while at A&E Pet Resort, I will be able to travel for work and be assured that she is getting the best quality care!

We cannot recommend Dee enough for canine training ! Dee trained our one year old puppy Maui, after battling impulse control and pulling on the leash when we walk, for the last year. We are amazed at the progress she has made in a week. Thank you again, Dee, for your vast knowledge of canine behavior training, and your professionalism.

A great place. We were here from NC. Upon arrival we needed to board our Tyson for the day. Everyone was awesome and he had a great day! We will definitely be back when needed and Recommend highly!

My dog can be difficult and can also put other dogs on edge because of his intensity. After one extended visit, my dog came home with a massive contusion on the side of his head. It hurt for me to pet him there and was visibly raised. Another inch forward, he probably would have a broken jaw. While of course I don't know how it happened, the most likely would be a wack with the metal pole on the kennel gate by a frustrated employee when my dog was resisting going back into his kennel, which could be typical of him. The next time (I had no choice), he was bitten multiple times, through his ear, puncture behind his ear, multiple punctures in hind quarters. He absolutely is not dog aggressive, but very interested in sniffing others. I did not notice until I got him home, but they never said anything to me. When I emailed about these incidents, they did not respond. It is a large kennel, so employees can be impersonal at times just because they are busy. There are a lot of dogs in one area at a time. It is not possible for one employee, which is their mode of operation, to keep dogs safe from others, especially when she has multiple duties and does not watch or is not close enough at all times. I noticed these things on my short tour of the facilities.

I’m so glad we found A&E! Our new Doodle pup Toccoa was just a tad too big for her britches and running all over our sweet lab Tallulah One week with Dee worked wonders and she gets along just fine with Tallulah. She is also a regular at day care and occasionally boards and has an absolute blast playing with the other dogs. The entire staff is super friendly too. Couldn’t recommend A&E more.

I could not say enough about how caring and helpful everyone is here. Being new to Florida with two large puppies Don and his staff took wonderful care of them last minute for the entire weekend. When I picked my boys up they were happy and exhausted from all the fun they had on there weekend getaway. We will definitely be back!

I would never take my dog to this facility or any other animal for that matter. From what I was told, it is not safe and the management does not care about the well-being of your animal. If you’re looking for a place to board your dog, I would probably look elsewhere avoid this place at all cost unless you want to be stuck with an injured animal and a large vet bill

My dog loves it here! We haven't been able to go In the past week and a half, and it is so obvious how much my dog misses it! We will be back very very soon! My dog is very timid with other dogs and can get a little snippy. They had him playing with other dogs within a couple hours of me dropping him off! Amazing progress! The trainer Crystal is so fantastic with the dogs! Loki is very much looking forward to making it back there, and soon enough bringing his new brother with him!

Several of my customers use them and the dogs have a great time. They do a great job of making sure all of the dogs have a positive experience, even the introverted ones.

Donald, Lois, Crystal, Beth, Lola and all the staff at Dog Dayz Inn treat each and every pet like their own. We have brought our family dogs and cats here for 5+ years. The dogs have come for daycare as well as extended over night stays. My diabetic cat stayed with them while we went on vacation too. Off leash, doggie pools, ample shade and plenty of pasture to run. Dogs are separated according to size and demeanor. Brought inside to AC for cooling down time on hot days & sheltered during storms. Complete attention is given to the pets at all times. After a sweaty fun day, you can opt for bath time for a reasonable fee. Professional grooming is available as well. My mastiff would move in if I let him.

Highly recommend this place. It's a Dog Sanctuary there, and the staff seems to truly love the animals. This place came highly recommended to me and I see why. Thank you guys for taking care of Tinkerbell and Tank!

I finally stopped by to check this place out. I was very pleased with what I saw, as well as the friendly and helpful person who greeted me. We have not, as yet left our dogs there. But based on my experience, and the recommendations of others, I'm sure all will be well. Everything looked to be clean and safe. Dogs are segregated by size, with more than adequate space to enjoy a day here. I'm anxious to see how my dogs reaction to the place. They both love people and other dogs, so I expect a good outcome.

I took my Boston terrier there and she loved it! The staff is very nice and very attentive to all the dogs,it’s very clean outside where the dogs run and inside the office area. Our dog stayed there twice and both times I picked her up she acted like she was home relaxed yet excited! I will definitely take her anytime I need grooming,daycare or boarding!

This is the only place I would leave my dogs, the staff is super, the dogs are supervised, the yard is constantly being cleaned up after the dogs, there’s water, shade and protection from the elements. I say “ want to go to school? ” and my dogs go crazy happy. They come home tired from a day of fun.

The owners love dogs! This is a great place for pups to get a chance to play and romp with other dogs off leash. Our baby comes home clean (bath optional) and tired, and he can't wait for the next time!
