Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
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.
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Ray and Lynn are absolutely the best pet sitters you could ask for. They were extremely responsive to texts and emails and chatted with us over WhatsApp before the sit. They were very flexible and arrived the night before our sit so we could leave early the next morning. They even brought us ice cream because it was Joe's birthday the day they arrived. Very thoughtful of them. They are very friendly, relaxed people that are easy to talk to. Our dogs immediately bonded to Lynn upon their arrival. The first morning our cat managed to sneak outside and was MIA overnight despite their valiant efforts to get him to return. Ray tried to capture him but our cat fought with him and escaped again before eventually returning the next morning. Unfortunately Ray was scratched and bit by the cat during this struggle. He developed an infection in his hand. We did offer to come home or find a replacement sitter so they could return to the US but they were able to get medical attention here and antibiotics. They are so kind and didn't want to ruin our vacation! Two days before we were to arrive home the infection in Ray's hand took a turn for the worse and they had no choice but to head home to the US to get immediate medical care. They waited for our friend to arrive before departing. We were so impressed with them that even under these stressful circumstances they cleaned our house and laundered the sheets. Our kitchen cupboards looked better organized than before we left. Our garden was watered and well cared for during the heat wave. They were excellent at sending updates and photos throughout the sit. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person. It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time. She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us. The house was perfect when she left.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

Super easy to deal with and truly care for the well-being of your animal! Rocco says thank you
Elizabeth was great. She asked us questions on our dogs personality, feeding schedule etc to get to know him better. We were able to come get him during our vacation to take him on walks, and bring him back later on, even though she walks the dogs twice a day. To top it all off, we ended up overpaying, and they reached out to tell us this, and we were able to swing by and work it all out later on.
Wonderful people and location. My dog was well looked after, and in good spirits after his two day stay...even though the summer heat was up to 35 degrees.
Good service and value..... Our dog enjoyed his stay
Best place in the Valley
great people
There aren't enough stars for this review. I can't say enough positive things about my dogs stay here. I've kenneled him at many different places but unleashed has been the best. I was first struck by how quiet it was upon entering. Most places the dogs are barking excessively and obviously stressed. The dogs were all quiet and happily hanging out. I picked my dog up to go hiking and could tell he was eating (this doesn't usually happen as he gets stressed a bit in a kennel). After our hike I brought him back and he was thrilled to be back. He was actually tugging on his leash to get back into the building with his tail going a million times a minute. I have never been so happy to drop him off at a kennel before because I knew he would be well taken care of. Thank you guys so much for loving the pets in your care and providing them with a home away from home. I hope to be in the area again someday and will bring my fur baby back 😀
We can't rave enough about Unleashed and the awesome staff there. Unleashed is our dog's favourite place in the valley. He is beyond excited when we drop him off and never wants to leave when we pick him up! We also did obedience classes at Unleashed in the spring, which were great. The owners and staff are clearly knowledgeable and have a deep love for dogs. Our pup is still young and highly energetic, so he can be quite the handful. However, I know he is in excellent hands with the crew at Unleashed. We are very fortunate to have this business in the valley.
Most amazing doggie daycare I have ever come across. The owners are the best. Super polite and professional. My dog had so much fun. Will defently be back
My furbaby stayed with Unleashed for 1 month she had the best time. We loved that our dog was able to spend her days outdoors playing and not in a crate like many other kennels. We highly recommend Amber and her team for all your daycare/extended care needs.
My dogs only visited this dog care one time for the day. It was easy to get them booked in. I am grateful that Unleashed! Accepted my dogs for the day, I was camping with the dogs and I got to do some things I wouldn't normally get to do because they are usually with me. They seemed well cared for and the staff told me they had a good day. The place looked nice from what I could see. Drop off and pick up was easy and the price was very reasonable. Thank you! I would come back if I was in the area again.
Well run Daycare & Boarding facility ideally located btw Radium and Invermere. I booked daycare on short notice & they were terrific with my 15 yr. old retriever. I can highly recommend and will use Unleashed! again.
Unleashed Pet Care Services are absolutely brilliant. Having moved over from Scotland with our dog it has been great to give our dog some time to herself and play with friends at Unleashed. Amber and her team are so kind and friendly and very very knowledgeable of dogs needs and are very understanding of some dogs needs. My dog is nervous with some people and I feel her time at Unleashed has really brought her out of her shell, we will continue to use Unleashed as much as we can. As well as daycare and boarding we have also had her bathed and her nails trimmed while at Unleashed and they are brilliant, it’s great getting back a clean tired dog! Thank you Unleashed!
Took our dog there whilst we was on holiday in radium she loved it and was so excited to go every morning
I dropped my dog off for a 3 night stay at unleashed and it was amazing! My dog had a blast, he was sad to leave. It was the first time we have ever left our dog somewhere overnight and everyone was incredible! My dog slept the whole 4 hour drive home and continues to sleep the rest of the day! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to board their pup!
Great place, have been sending our dog, who is anxious around people, a few times a week for over a month. She’s happy to go and loves getting to run about with other dogs. All the staff are brilliant with her and care a lot about the dogs they’re looking after.
Wendy runs an awesome business! We're super pleased with her services. As a dog kennel, she doesn't accept dogs that are problematic (fair warning) in concern for the rest of her charges, but takes excellent care of the ones she boards. She also takes cats. It is a small business so don't expect to be able to come in at the drop of a hat, but she's happy to work with you as best she can. Phone during business hours, be patient, and you can guarantee that when you need to have someone take care of your dog for a while, the Rocky Mountain Pet Resort and Spa will have your pet's needs and happiness well taken care of.
We have two dogs - ages 14 and 4. Because our senior dog doesn’t like open wooden stairs Wendy provided us with a solution- for additional cost of course , of a separate and quieter space in The Cottage. Our girls spend 6 nights there and they appeared to have enjoyed their stay.
Wendy took us in when Unleashed cancelled on us last minute. This place is everything you could possibly want in a doggy day-care. Lots of care, friendly pups, and tons of space for them to run around. My dog got spoiled rotten with tons of love, cuddles and treats, and was extremely comfortable with his stay. Wendy is truly a lifesaver and runs a five star business.
Such a gorgeous place for pups to stay! Roo just LOVES staying at the Rocky Mtn Pet Resort & Spa if our adventures aren't dog friendly & he has plenty of space to run and play with his new friends. Wendy is so lovely to deal with & has the pups best interest at heart.
My husband and I wanted to go to the hot springs and needed someone last minute to take our little pup Winston. Wendy was so kind and understanding to deal with, and even though it was a quiet cleaning day for her, she still took our boy even though he was the only pup there. When we drove up we even saw them playing. You can tell Wendy absolutely loves dogs! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling through! Thankyou Wendy for having such understanding! 👍🏻
We were in a pinch needing a place for our 2 Great Danes to stay for half a day while we were passing through and Wendy was very accommodating to work with me over the phone a few days before our arrival to set things up. Timing wise it ended up being better for them to spend the night which Wendy was able to provide on short notice. Our Danes, as lovely as they are, have separation anxiety and can be easily stressed out but when we arrived the next morning they were both in good spirits. They got to stay in a beautiful little "cottage" all to themselves complete with a fireplace, couch, dog beds and a large play area. The entire facility is sparkling clean and very cozy . I would definitely recommend this place for your pets!
Wendy put our minds at ease throughout our vacation with updates about our dog. The resort is located mins away from Radium Hot Springs BC. Our dog seemed really happy with his week long stay.
I brought my dog Waylon yesterday to this place. I wanted to check out more of Radium & Invermere and I cannot bring my dog everywhere. I was looking for him to get some daycare for between 4 to 5 hours and decided to try this place. They are in Edgewater which is just a short drive from Radium Hot Springs. It was quite easy to find and the nice thing about kennels or daycare for dogs in small towns is they get a country feel. They have a large fenced yard for the dogs to explore and interact with. He made a friend when he got there just minutes later. There are not a lot of these facilities in the greater Radium region but I would recommend Mrs & Mr Bennett for short or long term dog care.
Our Dogs just love Wendy and the Pet resort! Feels so great to know your fur kids are so well cared for when you are away! would recommend them to Everyone!! Best place in the valley.
We won't use this business again. We thought we would give it a try but when the owner charged us for an extra day because she decided she wouldn't take him the evening we arrived (after being behind a serious highway accident with no cell coverage), and told us only on pick up day of all the "issues" she had with our dog (some of which put him in extreme danger) instead of contacting us immediately, made for a bad experience. Our pup has been to many pet resorts with very little issue but she made sure to tell us what a bad dog he was. Our pup is highly trained and is generally easy to manage when exercised properly and given some care. It was clear he received neither of these during his stay. This resort is likely more tailored for dogs who are okay to sit in a cage for a few days at a time and don't require attention or proper exercise.
