Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

I absolutely love this place. I board my dog here every time we leave state. They have a Facebook page where they will post pictures of your dogs to which is really nice. The prices are affordable and it is also a family owned business which just makes it that much more lovable. They are very accommodating and helpful to animals. My dog takes anxiety meds and they were willing to give him his meds while we were on our trip as well. I actually have our next trip already booked for the end of this year. I highly recommend taking your pets here 10 out of 10 experience with them. My absolute only complaint would be that you can only reach them by phone four specific hours of the day. With that being said, though if you leave a voicemail, they always call you back! I added some of the photos they added to Facebook. Update: 7 months later and they are still amazing !! Thanks for 15k photo views of my baby ❤️. I promise they will take great care of your baby as well!
Honestly, you get what you pay for. They're cheap, forgetful (they took my dogs food dish for their own, the lady was about to hand it to me, and just walked away with it. If i wasn't so preoccupied with seeing my dog i haven't seen for almost a week i would have said thats mine but it didnt register with me till i got home now i need to go back and grab it or just buy a new one), and hours of operation are extremely odd. Past that it's an okay place to leave your pup.
Absolutely pleased with boarding my baby Dane here for two nights! He came home exhausted and snuggly from a few days away from the family as we went on a small vacation. Seeing them post photos and updates was a nice ease of mind without constant texts and updates. They said he did so well and had a great time playing. Next vacation I’ll be boarding all three of my pups here and for any future needs. Thank you for taking care of my sweet boy.
The results of my dog Otis after being attacked by a Pitbull while in the uncompassionate and unprofessional care by the young untrained staff at Happy Hound. I did not know of the incident until I went to pick him up and found him bleeding from the front foot due to the injuries sustained while entrusted in the "care" of Happy Hound. With the only first aid they could come up with was an old dirty sock, I had to take him in for emergency medical/surgical Care at Blue Pearl in Blaine, some 60 mi away. At no time did the staff of Happy Hound contact me regarding his status, until I made my previous Google post. And at no time has Happy Hound even hinted about taking any responsibility for their negligence..
Tracy at Happy Hounds is amazing!! She goes above and beyond!! Happy Hounds staff treat all animals like their own. I have my dog Lily stay there anytime I go away. Great accommodations, grooming offered, and kind staff.
I have used their services a couple of times so far, and let me tell you that coming from an animal lover, they made the first time much more bearable on being away for a while. They do their best to keep you informed and treat your furry family member as one of their own. The rates are reasonable as well. Give them a chance!
Our dog Odin has been boarding here regularly (when our family goes on vacation) for over three years and these folks are top notch. They have pictures posted our your pets visit which is nice to see what they are up to while you are away. Our dog has so much fun here and even cries with happiness as we enter the property which makes leaving him so much easier because we know he loves it. We drive over an hour to the facility (we live in the twin cities) because the service, friendly staff, and care he gets here is unapparelled. They are the absolute best!
Do NOT bring your dog here!!! This morning 9-22-23 we picked up our dogs only to here the employee screaming at them over and over again to "come on". I didn't see this, but when one of them is scared she will NOT go anywhere! She come out ten minutes later red faced and visibly very angry, then when we have the nerve to ask where their beds are we get, I think they chewed them up or "ate" them I don't know I'm not always here, neither dog has ever touched their bed's except to lay on them, do not bring your dogs to this dog torture chamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could give it negative stars I would!!!!!!
My dogs came home quite contented. Usually when they've been at a kennel they come home frantic like they thought I would never come back. I tend to believe this means they were treated well and were happy while I was gone.. prices were quite reasonable staff was very friendly I have no complaints we will be back ☺️
We used The Happy Hound over the 4th of July for our two dogs and they did a nice job. It was our first time. Our dogs are high maintenance, highly allergic to many foods and one is a poop eater, so they carried our two dogs outside instead of leading them to be sure they wouldn't eat any spilled food on the ground and then made sure the pen they were using for their exercise was clear of all dog poop before putting them in there. I thought this was nice that they went the extra mile for them like that. The staff is real gentle and very caring. I also thought the kennel was very clean and the prices reasonable. I would use them again.
I moved to the Pine City area a few months ago and one of my main worries was finding someone I trusted to watch my dog. Vanessa has been more than just someone I can trust— my experience with her has been above and beyond. She has also been incredibly flexible and communicative with me. She’s taken on Ziggy when last minute travel plans changed, done drop-ins at my place while I’m at work, and most importantly, generously caters to him and what he needs. Every time I pull up to her house, he practically pulls me down to get inside. Not to mention, Ziggy is reactive to other dogs. It’s been such a relief to have a boarding option that is set up to accommodate that. I can confidently say this is my favorite and the best pet care I’ve experienced. I’m so thankful for Vanessa and can’t recommend Rock Creek Critter Care enough!
Vanessa and family are amazing to work with. It is great to know our furry family member is treated like one of their own and well taken care of. The flexibility and outstanding care with our high energy fox terrier is beyond what my words can express. I am so lucky to have found a sitter that I can count on and feel at ease while vacationing! Thank you so much to you all!
We have Vanessa do drop-ins for our two labs. She is always quick to respond, and is usually available, especially with quick turnarounds. Our two dogs love when she stops in to let them out for a break during the day. We’ve used her for over a year and will continue to use her for all of our pet service needs.
My dogs can be jerks for strangers so I was nervous about leaving them in someone else's home. Thankfully, my worrying was pointless because they were well cared for and had a great time. I received text updates about how they were doing (which really put my mind at ease). I will definitely be returning!
Vanessa and boys love your animals as if they were theirs. Highly recommend
