Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
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.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa

They are the best doggy daycare/ boarding we’ve taken our dog to. They are very involved, very educated, and I feel so safe leaving my Louis with them during the work week. I 10000% recommend them over other options in the area. They care greatly about animals, and my puppy comes home in such a good mood and sleepy from all the dog play!! They’re also great photographers and update consistently throughout the day on how your doggo is doing :)
100% Recommend Pine Hill Pet Care! My pup always come home happy and tired. They are great with communication and accommodating with scheduling changes.
Highly recommended. Pine Hill Pet Care cared for our cat in our home when we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. They took excellent care of our cat, sent daily updates via text, and were very friendly and flexible. I will definitely be using their services again.
I've been using Pine Hill for my dog waste pick up for a few months now. #1. Amazing customer service. Very good communication about scheduling. Always professional, polite, and just pleasant to talk to. #2. Reasonable pricing for a month's worth of service. #3. Does an excellent job picking up, even when the grass gets a little long. I highly recommend their pick up service and believe any service they provide would be worth it!
The folks at Pine Hill Doggy Daycare were super professional and sweet. Our pup came back happy and absolutely exhausted after a full day romping around the beach and yard at day care. Pine Hill picked up and dropped off our girl as well as sent video/photo updates during the day. I would highly recommend Pine Hill Doggy Daycare and plan to use them many times in the future!
Melissa was great with our little senior dog. He got along well with her other dogs, and seemed to be having a good time. The homey vibe is what we were looking for instead of a cage and one hour a day exercise. I highly recommend Pine hill Doggy Daycare! Austin Snyder
They always take such good care of Arrow, I love seeing videos of her playing with the other dogs in the woods and on the beach on their Instagram feed, while I'm off on business. Whether it's a dog walk on a long workday, or dog boarding while I'm out of town, I know she's happy and having a blast
Awesome pet sitter-- they did such a good job taking care of my beloved kitties. Thanks again, will always use Pine Hill from now on. :)
My dog loves this place and she does not like every daycare. Definitely recommend for playful dogs, I'm sure all dogs love Happy Dog as well!
The best doggy daycare! My basset Hickory doesn't always find it easy to be social. The Happy Dog folks make sure he is in the right play group for his needs and that he has a true happy experience! They often give me reports when I come for pick up so I know he is getting personalized care not just another face in the crowd. As much as Hickory enjoys seeing his doggy friends I think he likes his people friends even more! The staff at Happy Dog are truly wonderful! Every time we come to drop off my dog is wagging his tail and every time I pick up he has a happy doggy smile. With half day and whole day options prices are very reasonable. This place really does make for a Happy Dog!
Happy Dog is great! We've taken our dog there several times. The staff is extremely friendly. They have indoor kennels and also have covered outdoor play areas for the dogs to run around.
I find myself relating to pet parents who know just how important it is to find a safe and happy place for their animal companions. I found that magical spot in Happy Dog. My pup comes home after a long day of playing and being showered with love and attention.
My dog Ripley absolutely loves it here. I have to roll the back windows of the car up on the way to drop him off, because he once got so excited that he jumped out the window! He is always super happy to come play with his friends and is peacefully tired when I pick him up. The staff are all friendly, calm, professional, and efficient -- and my dog loves them, too. They manage the busy drop off and pick up times of day amazingly well. I had never used a doggy daycare service before this and was very hesitant at first, but I have been put completely at ease, and I know that if I ever need to board Ripley here overnight he will be in good hands. ❤
We were displaced due to the fires. Our beagle was with us and we needed a day care so while my daughter attended remote classes she wouldn't pester her. This place is amazing from the staff to the other dogs they allow. Our dog came back at the end of the day tired and happy. After the first day she hopped right it if the car and ran with the attendants inside she was so thrilled to be there! They are observing very strict and careful covid distancing. Which is so important right now. We were so happy to find them and if we're ever there again I'll 100% bring it dog there.
My dogs, Sienna and Spencer, absolutely love their weekend and daycare getaways to Happy Dog!! They start getting excited on the freeway before dropping them off. Happy Dog staff have been great to them. It feels good to get away and know our fur kids are in good hands!!!
My dog has gotten kicked out of another daycare before for playing too rough because they sorted dogs into 3 categories. I love that happy dogs sorts them based on size AND play style. My boy loves it there! They have better prices than the other place too and are pretty quick with getting my dog out and notifying if there were any issues.
I've taken my dogs to a number of places and Happy Dog is by far the best. My dog is getting older and requires a little extra attention and the staff at happy dog treated her amazing. And when work kept me away for weeks on end they made sure Maggie was in good health and happy. I can't say enough of how awesome this business and staff are. Many thanks !
Staff folks are superb. My Corgi, Zuli nearly knocks the door down to get in at drop off and just as happy to come home, when I pick her up. I’ve brought my dogs to Happy Dog daycare and boarding since 1998. Always a great experience for the dogs and for me!
I have been a dog owner my entire life. Taking vacations away from my fur babies can be very stressful. We have never boarded our dogs and we have always had a pet sitter come to the house. We just returned from a 10 day vacation to find our babies happy and well cared for and house spotlessly clean! This is our first time using Mike’s services and he will forever be our first call going forward. We have three dogs, one of them is a senior, another one requires special medication including weekly injections, and the third is very high energy and needs a lot of exercise. All of their needs were met flawlessly. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and could see they were having a fantastic time with Mike. We are truly grateful for the excellent service and love Mike gave our babies. Looking forward to future vacations knowing that Our precious babies will be loved and cared for a while we are away.
Mike took great care of our cats and pet chicken while we were away. He sent us updates and pictures of the cats, made sure our senior kitty got his meds, and responded to texts quickly anytime we reached out.
Mike gets an A+ Mike understands how special my cats are to me, so he happily agreed to mimic some of their daily (feeding and playing) routines to maintain normalcy in my absence. But at the same time, he had his own "pet voice" he used with them and developed friendships with them. He sent me short videos and photos of them while I was away and responded promptly to texts I sent him. When I got home, I could barely notice that he house/pet sat there for a week. And my cats pretended like they had noticed I'd been gone. That was a good sign. I highly recommend Mike as your house/pet sitter. He's been a professional in the Humboldt Region for decades and is true to his dependable reputation. The Peace of Mind I had while I was gone was worth many times more than I paid. This is the pet sitter you want if you don't want to worry about your pets while you're gone. But he won't be available the third week in October ever! I'm calling it right now!
Mike Seeber was a great house/dogsitter! The dogs enjoyed their time with him and got a lot of walks. The house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend! Jan Ross
Mike is very caring and sensitive to our dog Sadie and he’s very conscientious about her needs and her schedule. We completely trust Mike to take good care of her and our home.
I had my puppy Penelope stay in their care while I was at work for over 4 months. They were professional, kind and engaging with my puppy! I was blow away by how kind and caring they were! I received daily pictures of her play time and any questions I asked were answered. My puppy had the highest quality care with puppy ply, puppy art time and even a bubble party! I HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who is looking for care. 10/10!!
I am a travel nurse and needed someone to take care of my sweet pup, Ollie, while I was at work. Lindsay came through and was there for me when I needed it most! She took Ollie in like he was her own and took such great care of him. I never worried when I dropped him off. I could tell Ollie loved going there because he basically ran out of the car as soon as we pulled up to her house! Lindsay is extremely caring, kind, flexible, and communicative. I love that she limits how many dogs she takes per day to maintain safety. She also sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup in action. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a doggie daycare that is fun, safe, and affordable. She is absolutely wonderful!
When I got my new puppy last spring, I asked my vet if she could recommend a puppy friendly pet sitter. Her response " Pet Sitter Extraordinaire" with Lindsey's contact attached. Best thing that could have happened for me!! Lindsey is so incredibly wonderful in every way and goes above and beyond to ensure your dog's safety and comfort in her home. Her home is literally my dog's second home. So highly recommended!!
100% recommend! Lindsey will take care of your pets as if they were her own. She's sweet, kind, professional, easy to talk to and incredibly caring. I've even recommended her to a few of my cleaning clients and they were blown away by her care of their pets. I would trust her everyday with my love fluffs.
Lindsey and her husband Chris are so caring and so attentive to all the dogs they care for! Whenever I have to leave town I know my pups are in good hands with miss Lindsay. She goes the extra mile for my doggos! She even gave them all Christmas presents. She bakes them homemade treats and is a registered vet tech! So not only are they safe, I can rest well ok owing that they are being looked after by a veterinary professional! Thank you Lindsey! Loofy and Cody go crazy when we get there!! They love it
Paws and Wet Noses is one of the best! I’m one of those pet parents who is WAAAAY over protective of the care my animals receive. But I know that I can trust this team with any type of care. My diabetic pet needs multiple daily medications and they were able to take care of him so well it was like I had never left. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!
This place knows how to take care of your pet. With Lindsey's veterinary experience and their obvious love for animals, I can't think of a better place.
Seemed nice but couldn't help me!
My fur baby and I love Woodcroft! This has been like a second home to him and I feel at ease when I have to drop him off for daycare or boarding because I know he is in good hands! All the staff are wonderful and it’s very clear they are all dog lovers! Would highly recommend this place.
My border collie and I had a great experience here at Woodcroft. I was nervous at first to take him to daycare because he can be a little shy and is usually never away from my partner and I. However Hannah made us both feel more comfortable by giving us a tour of the place before hand and also ensuring us that she does not take in too many dogs (which I liked very much). Inside was a very open and clean space and the dogs have easy access to an outside patio that my dog enjoyed a lot. After pick up, Hannah gave me an assessment of Huck's behavior and also advise on how to make him more comfortable the next time he comes. Although this is a new business I would recommend Woodcroft if you are looking for a doggie daycare.
This place is great. They are easy going and nice and my Dog loves going there!
This was our pup’s first daycare and boarding experience and she absolutely loved it! She was nervous at first, but Hannah did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable and by the time I left, my pup was running around having a blast with the other dogs. I also really appreciated getting little photo updates during her stay. Very thoughtful. I am so grateful that this business exists here in our community!
Woodcroft Doggy Day Care is the best place to take your pups in the entire county. Staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and prioritizes your dog's needs and health. Kenneling, daycare, and training are well-priced. The owner is charismatic and works perfectly with all kinds of personalities ("pooch"inalities?). I cannot recommend Woodcroft enough if you have to travel without your companion.
LOVE Woodcroft, great for stays, also a BIG shoutout for Hannah as dog trainer! We had a session recently, just a half an hour of practical pointers and advice and at a critical moment Hannah said “trust your dog.” Something clicked in both me and dog and frustrating problem is gone ever since! Magic!
My dog loves Woodcroft and so do I! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good staff to dog ratio, and they gently correct inappropriate behaviors. My dog plays so much better with others now.
I'm very impressed with this business. My uncle was in the hospital in feb for at least a month and a half. My cousin contacted Woodcroft and was able to get my uncle's dog (Elliott) in right away. Then unfortunately my uncle was flown to an out of the area hospital this last weekend for emergency care. My cousin asked me to contact Woodcroft for Elliott. When I called Hannah said no problem bring him on in. When I dropped Elliott off he was so happy to be there and Hannah was excited to see him as well. Hannah your awesome and your making a huge difference in people (and doggies) lives. Thanks again for being there.
I was out here on vacation from Chico and I absolutely love this place! I have a nervous adult dog (Scout) and a puppy (Toby - in the picture) both being a bit of work. They loved being here so much they didn't want to leave when it was time to leave. I always worry that my pups will be stuffed in a kennel and given limited interaction. Here they are allowed to free run and play and get enriching activities and I could absolutely see the difference in their attitude versus some places we've tried back home. The only thing I don't like is that I can't come more often. Hannah is amazing and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm back out here with my pups! Hands down the best doggy day care I've worked with.
I have purchased every service at this kennel. Across the board this doggy daycare has helped my high energy dog calm down. We started with training, the team there taught me basic training and really worked with my experience while assessing the needs and behavior of my boy. He's very high energy snd by the time we had finished 5 trainings he had all his basic training down. 7 commands later, from sit to leave it, we were ready to face the world! When my office had me go back into the office this place was the obvious choice. They knew Lucky and spent the time to access his behaviour with other dogs. He's now so friendly with other animals and has really grown. No matter how much I miss him their Instagram page posts stories daily to show how my baby is doing. And its just a text away to see if anything is happening. These people are very communicative and their online app makes it easy for me to roll over in the middle of the night and schedule an emergency board or day if something happens. Overnight boarding is great and there is so much space for the dogs to run around. Toys, other puppies and the reassurance that he is in a safe environment makes this place my only choice in Humboldt. Sometimes he comes back with all the slobber and I know that that means he had one of his best days with the friends he is making at Woodcroft Doggy Day Camp. Thank you to the great team and thank you for creating this service in our community!
Unfortunately never had a good experience at this place. Front desk is rep is unprofessional and disorganized. My dog always comes back with fleas.
Boarded my puppy here for 4 days while we were out of town. No issues at all. My Honey git the VIP treatment and it was her first time being around other dogs. When we picked Honey up she was happy and had no issues. The staff was great with her while I was there and they seem really knowledgeable about dogs. Plan to use their services again.
You can rest assured your animals will be well cared for here and may not even want to go home.
I love this place. Thanksgiving was the first time we left our dog with VIP. I have to say they were excellent. I called to check on our sweet pup and they weren't even irritated. They called me back and updated me on everything he was up to. When my husband picked our dog up, he learned that they spoiled him. Lol I love it! It gave me so much comfort to know he was doing so well being away from us. And that he was treated so well. We've already got another boarding session signed up for him. We will continue to board here. We love it!
Just traveling through and left our dog here for daycare for a few hours and he loved it! The staff was very friendly and our dog had a blast! I would recommend this place and will use them again when we come back out this way!
Our pups were worn out from playing at VIP for 2 days of daycare while we got to experience the beauty of the redwoods, Trinidad Beach area, Lady Bird Park and Avenue of the Giants. We would definitely have Scooby & Sissy stay there again. Staff was great and informative. ...it's an older building so don't let that hinder you in any way. The setup is great just.ask staff to let you tour around.
I have helped out on occasion 1st It is the cleanest kennel facilty. I have EVER seen, more than necessary which says it All Every "guest:" (dog) no matter how spoiled, previously traumatized, quirky, annoying,or flat out plum stupid is treated with respect and dignity. The owner has essentially spent her life in this pursuit with dedication although its sorta beneath her abilities gifts and intellect, you could almost think its almost as important as she is. I don't say that out of adoration. My onbjectivety is unassailable, inexorable and beyond question. I'm glad my dogs didn't know about this- and love Genna more than me. Yes, yes she's sooooooo beautiful, I know I'm so sick of hearing it!!!
This place is great. The workers are very nice. And my dog was well taken care of and happy.
My little dog did so well here while I was out of town. He was happy and not anxious or nervous at all, they took great care of him.
I made sure to write a review on every page of this because of how much I love and appreciate this daycare. The staff is amazing, my puppy leo loves them and it has helped so so much with our very hyper fur baby.
