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.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
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.
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
I don’t think we could’ve picked a better sitter than Joe! This was our first time using this website/app, and I can only hope that all of our future sitters will be amazing as he was! He was kind, respectful, attentive, extremely clean, (seriously I think our house was cleaner than when we left for vacation), and took such amazing care of our two dogs! He arrived early on the day of our departure so he could meet our dogs and get a detailed run down of their routine. Both of our dogs warmed up to him immediately! :) One of our pups sometimes has the tendency to be reactive towards other dogs on leash. He handled him so effortlessly and with such compassion, it really put any worries I might’ve had aside. While we were away he sent little updates and pictures of the adventures they went on: farmers markets, car rides, long walks, and lots of pets and cuddles. After he left both of our dogs sat out side his room and just looked so sad that their new friend Joe had gone away. I honestly can’t recommend Joe enough! If you are looking for someone, your search should end here!
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.
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
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

Staci is the absolute best in Spring Hill! She watches our girls weekly while we are working! She also does excellent with our nail clipping needs! She is responsive, respectful, patient and most of all trustworthy of our dogs and all their needs! We have also boarded all 3 of our dogs overnight which I have to say I was a nervous wreck over it, NO REGRETS! She was so great with them we have her booked for our summer vacations as well this year!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staci, Your love for not just dogs all pets is amazing! We thank you! I
Staci’s Pet Sitting has been taking care of my dogs when I’m away for a couple of years. Staci and her team recently watched my 13 year old baby for 9 days and it was great. It was reassuring to know he wasn’t alone for long periods of time, especially overnight. When I came home my boy didn’t seem stressed at all. It was also nice not find any dog poop in the yard, my mail in the house and the plants watered. Thank you Staci until the next time.
My 2 fur babies are new to Staci, but after their first "meet and greet", they ran to her like I wasn't there! It took away all the anxiety I had about leaving them. Can't wait to write more reviews about their experiences. And Staci sends pictures and updates during the day. Bless you Staci and family/team.
Staci with Staci’s Pet Sitting is by far the only person I would allow to take care of my dog. We have been with Staci’s Pet Sitting for about 1- 1 1/2 years now and because I have a very sensitive emotional wild pup she goes above and beyond to take care of him as she would her own dogs. She comes to my home almost daily, and my pup has stayed at her home. Staci is very knowledgeable, experienced, and very loving. She has helped us out on short notice and is extremely flexible in regards to schedule changes on my part. We honestly could not do what we do if we didn’t have Staci’s Pet Sitting in our lives. I trust and recommend Staci’s Pet Sitting wholeheartedly without reservation. Oh, and the fact that she trains dogs is also a plus with my crazy boy.
We have used Stacis pet services a few times. Shes reliable, trustworthy and great with our dogs. Her services are reasonably priced. I definitely recommend her for your pets. I'm so glad we found her. I will not use anybody else. Thank you Staci for caring for our dogs when we are out.
Staci took excellent care of my French Bulldog on short notice. She sent me pictures and answered all my questions. My dog was returned to me in perfect shape. I would highly recommend her!!
My girls are getting so well behaved thanks to training with Staci! I am so grateful I found her
Staci and her team take care of Hank my diabetic cat. They give me the confidence I need to go out for an evening and he will get his food and insulin. Plus some scratches! Great team to have for your medical animal when you can’t be there!
I was recommended to Staci when I desperately needed someone who could come to my home and trim my dog's nails and trim the hair on his pads. Today was our first visit and I can say that I was thrilled! Staci is very professional and works beautifully with animals...you can tell she loves them! I highly recommend her and I will be using her service regularly!
Staci is a godsend! She is the only person I would trust with my dogs and my home. I couldn't be happier with her care! I have an older German Shepherd and a Kelpie that does exactly what he wants to when he wants to, and they are very content and happy with Staci's care. Staci sends regular messages and pictures of my babies when under her care and spends time with them and played games with them. Staci does so with happiness and genuine caring for my property and my dogs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Staci for your needs. She's trustworthy and kind and will make sure your pets feel loved and that you feel secure!
Fabulous service awesome personnel, our two dogs Abby and Brook enjoy being there. It's a load off our mind knowing our dogs are in good hands while we are gone. Highly recommended
My dog stayed here for 9 days, we couldn’t be happier! He came home happy and healthy!! I recommend taking your dog to Brooksville Acres!
Very Highly recommend! My dog Roxy spent two weeks there. She is a nervous dog of 11years mixed breed. They handled her with kit gloves. I know she got exercise because she lost some weight and a a spring in her step she had been lacking for a wile....
I am so lucky to have found Brooksville Acres Pet Resort as they are the best ever!! Linda, the owner is so nice and accommodating as is her Staff. The Resort has a separate house where small dogs, like mine, have their own space and the area is like a home like setting. The rates are reasonable and the accommodations always clean and yes, like a Resort. My Dog Rocky Bowboa has stayed at the Resort five or more times and he is always happy and healthy when I pick him up. While he is glad to see me, I can tell he really has enjoyed his stay and has bonded with the Staff who treat him like their own pet. I moved to FL eight years ago,, but am a Dog lover who traveled for work and have boarded my dogs for over 30 plus years. Brooksville Acres Pet Resort is the best ever!!!! I highly recommend Linda and her Staff.
Absolutely LOVED IT!!! Linda and her staff are amazing, this was our first time and will definitely come back. Their attention and care make returning a no brainier for me
I took Spike there for the first time. Brooksville Acers came highly recommended by a good friend. They were so wonderful with my dog he was happy and looking handsome after the bath they gave him, with his new bandana when I picked him up. I would highly recommend them to anyone. The place is beautiful and the small dogs have there own house to roam in and not be cooped up all day.
We have a 4 year old boxer that needed to be boarded for the second time in her life. The first experience at a different location was ok, but here at Brooksville Piper did great!!! They thought she was “sweet”, which she is, and she didn‘t have any issues while there. They even gave her a “Report Card” which was such a fun and cute way to show us how she did during her stay. It was such a relief when picking her up to see how happy, well taken care of, and clean she was. We highly recommend Brooksville Acres and will definitely bring our fur baby back to them in the future!!
5 years ago was the first time I had to board my Babies. At that time I had just two. Honey and Noodles. I left for 10 days and was so nervous the whole time I was gone. When I returned home I was so pleased at how well taken care of my babies were. I have used Brooksville Acres Pet Resort and spa a few times now. I do not go away often but have gone away twice already this year and I no longer worry. I know they are in good loving hands. Now we have 3 Babies with the addition of Puddin. For a puppy with loads of energy she has a great time playing with her new friends. Honey who would rather lounge around all day loves to lay on the couch just as if she was home. The Staff is great! Glad I do not have to worry. Toniann
Our doggos seemed to have a great time after our trip. Booking our trip for them was easy and we felt confident they'd be healthy there with the guidelines to stay. The price was fair for two dogs to stay, AND they came home nice and clean with a complimentary bath. Plus they had adorable goldendoodle litters on site as well that were available for adoption at the time I was there.
We brought our dog Diamond to Brooksville Acres for the first time. She’s an 80lb Doberman. We were nervous because she has separation anxiety and didn’t know how she was going to behave since this was her first time going. The staff assured us that she will be fine and in good hands. During our trip we called to see how she was doing and they told us she was doing great and enjoying the company of the other dogs there. When I picked her up she didn’t want to leave and she was cleaned with a nice bandanna on. She made sure to say bye to all the employees that took care of her. I would definitely recommend bringing your furry friends here. They will be in great hands. And the staff was great!!! Thank you guys again!!!
We haven’t “Boarded” here yet, only coming for Grooming on Saturdays. They are the best! I can drop off my dog and not worry about a thing. The appointment system is perfect and the prices are great! The Staff I have met are top notch! They really put your animal first. Thank you! Maui
Panacea is the best pet resort we have used in the past 15 years. Roger, Claire and all the staff are fantastic! They really care about your pets. Our rescue lab/terrier mix was timid with other dogs. But after a few daycare days with individual play time, she was introduced to other dogs about her size. She realized how much fun it was to run and play with other dogs. She was anxious to go every morning when she realized it was daycare day. She was out the car door and running into the office without even looking back at us. We boarded her for 6 nights in September. When we went to pick her up, she did not want to get in the car. Panacea's staff helped to improve Selah's social skills, and we are grateful for that. Their pricing is extremely fair, and the care they are given is the best. The resort is super clean and the kennels with the enclosed patios ensure the dogs are comfortable all day. We highly recommend Panacea for daycare and boarding. We are moving to New Hampshire, and we know she will miss her weekly daycare days. Thanks to the entire team for a great experience!
I’ve been boarding my two dogs, Busta and Bella, at Panacea Pet Resort, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care they receive. The staff is always professional, incredibly caring, and it’s obvious they have a genuine love for animals. I trust them completely and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for quality pet care. The hours here are great—by far the best I’ve come across—making drop-offs and pick-ups super convenient. Recently, I was running a few minutes late due to car trouble, and the staff was incredibly understanding and friendly, which I truly appreciated. Their pricing is more than fair, and the overall experience has been nothing short of excellent. Thank you, Panacea Pet Resort, for everything you do!
They take very good care of my fur baby. She loves it. Gives her a chance to socialize and play with other dogs.
I recently brought both my cats to stay here while out of town, and I am very happy with the experience. My first impression was that the staff was friendly and the area where my cats were staying was clean. The staff is also very accessible if you want to check up on your pet(s).
Boarded our four dogs for 5 nights. First time boarding and the process went smoothly. They took great care of our dogs. Process was simple, and customer service was great. Kennel and out door area nice and clean. Will definitely use them in future.
I can't say enough wonderful things about the team at Panacea!! They take SUCH amazing care of my furboy in doggie daycare. He loves it there, plus safely with other dogs (his new friends) and comes home exhausted and happy each day which tells me he is getting what he needs daily. I love this place and the entire team!!!!! Panacea is also very affordable!!
I have been using Panacea for over 9 years for two different dogs, current dog a greyhound. They are wonderful: Roger, Barbara, and Claire. I drive 25 miles one way to leave my dog there. It is the only place I would leave her. Since my review is old, I wanted to update it. I am still using Panacea for over 12 years now, and would not leave my dog anywhere else.
Our go-to kennel. Superb facilities and thoughtful, loving staff. Our spoiled little dog had a wonderful vacation! Many thanks!
I have been boarding my now 15 year old blind Chihuahua with Panacea for several years. Today I took him in for a bath and nail trim. I had been very lax in getting his nails clipped as he isn’t a good patient and a loud one. It always sounds like he is being killed!! The groomers at Panacea weren’t happy with his nails since they couldn’t get them short enough with out bleeding so they told me to come back in a couple of weeks and they would trim the nails again. Even though he was a pain they were very good with him as always. I would highly recommend Panacea for boarding and grooming.
We visited several places where we might lodge our two dogs and some of them were as nice as Granny’s and priced similarly. The deciding factor for us was that Laura (the owner) asked if she could come out and meet our two dogs who were in the car. No one else asked to meet them although we expected them to. That convinced us that Granny’s was the best place for our two. Since then, they have stayed at Granny’s and apparently had a grand time!
My Levi loves coming here every week, some days he doesn’t want to leave which says a lot about Granny’s Animal Camp.
Laura and staff are the absolute best! Our dogs love going to see them. They treat them like family. We have 1 very high maintenance dog and they always make sure she has all of her meds.
My parents have been using Granny Animal Camp for 15 years, and their dog (may she rest in peace) was a regular there. It only felt right to leave my own dogs with them now that I am grown with a family of my own. My dogs absolutely love it there. My high energy husky mix is completely worn out after 5 days with them, and my pit is smiling ear to eat so I know they were loved and played with while we were out of town.
I love this place so much. Laura and the staff are awesome. I used to bring Simba, my dog, to this place when he was still alive, for more than ten years. Every time I dropped him there, I felt content knowing Simba would be in good care of Laura and her staff. Thank you so much for what you have done to Simba when he was very sick. Your care and loving to him are always so much appreciated. Love, Jackie and Ralph Tauran
Friendly Animal Lovers. Very Sanitary, While I was there they were cleaning constantly attending the dogs in daycare. They were also Very attentive to the dogs there and the dogs were happy and content. I took my dog in for grooming. They did a great job.
Granny's is wonderful and I have such piece of mind knowing that my 2 babies are taken care of when they go there. very attentive, lots of outdoor time, always someone there and lots of pets and love until we get home.
I have a Lapsa Apso named Peppie who gets groomed there regularly. She also has been boarded there twice. Friendly competant staff. Clean rooms, well kept yards. Laura is very professional. Prices reasonable.
I have been bringing my dog Jerzee here for almost 7 years - She’s a very nervous sigh that doesn’t necessarily like other dogs - well 1st time I went Laurie -the owner- got on the floor had Jerzee climbed in her lap ! She prances in there like there’s no other dogs around ! Very clean and everyone loves taking care of the pets ! Jerzee comes home clean and rested - almost looks sad that she’s leaving lol :) Highly recommend them and wouldn’t go anywhere else !
We started boarding our dogs at Granny’s over a decade ago when living in the area. Now we live in South Tampa but still drive to Granny’s when boarding our dogs, who all love it - we go on vacation and they do too!
Excellent work! Her love for dogs is evident from the moment she walks in. She is not only skilled, but also patient and kind. Always works around my schedule and my needs to get my fur babies the love and care they deserve. Can't recommend enough!!!
Amazing service. She is so passionate and loves taking care of dogs like no one else I’ve met before! She can really connect with animals. My dogs are so chill when she grooms them. recommend her 100 percent!🙏 …
It’s the best service ever. Your dog will apreciare you and love you more after their stay in experience .
Excellent services, they love the pets, definitely recommend them.
Excellent service, professional and good at caring for your pets. Will definitely come them back.
This is amazing
She has an excellent service, very professional and affectionate, she always makes my little princess look beautiful, I wouldn't change her for anyone, I've known her for a while and I don't regret having chosen her for the Take care of my girl
Excellent work, clean work, my baby arrived happy, being the first time with her, she arrived truly happy, thank you very much, excellent work, queen 💯% recommended …
Excellent service, very friendly, super sweet and dedicated to the pets of the house.
Excellent very professional service 100% recommended
Andrea is friendly and professional. My 4 chihuahuas never put up a fuss about going.Pepita and Pepe ( long haired) always look so cute after their grooming.
My pups got great service here. It was our first time, very nice people and relaxing atmosphere.
I recently went through a family emergency where I had to travel across the country (by plane, so no way I could take my big dogs along) on very short notice. I'm talking about only a day head's-up for the first trip, and a week for the second. Andrea was the sweetest and most accommodating angel I could have hoped for! She moved some dogs around and found space for my two, and even let me have a flexible pickup date since I wasn't sure how long the medical emergency might be going on. I was so stressed about everything else going on, but she saved me in the pet-boarding area for sure. My pups have been there a few times, and they always act excited to run in back to their kennels without a backwards glance at me, so they must enjoy their stays!
If I could leave no stars I definitely would! I’m not a first time client, I’ve brought my dog there Bella for almost 4 years now, and in this 4 year span I think my dog has stayed there a total of 5 times. I just came back from a 1 week cruise to pick my dog up from there today, not quite sure how I forgot the pick up time in the afternoon on Sundays is 4pm-5pm… but I did. I admit I made a mistake, but in my defense I looked online at Posh Pups website for boarding pick up times just to make sure prior to picking up my dog. No pick up times to be found, only prices were shown. I tried calling 4 times, and left a voicemail. I even emailed Andrea, but no response. I thought the pick up time was 2pm-4pm so I decided to drive there and got there a little after 2pm. Andrea has advertised that she lives right there on the premises, so I decided to knock the door at her residence. When Andrea opened the door the first thing I said to her was that I apologize for knocking but I tried contacting her multiple times and ways prior to coming because I made a mistake and forgot the pick up time. I was never so rudely treated in my life… to the point Andrea made me feel very uncomfortable. She was huffing and puffing just because she had to walk over to the on premise boarding facility. Made me feel like I was a huge inconvenience, but honestly if it weren’t for us clients she wouldn’t have the business she has. It’s not like I was asking for her to take care of my dog for free… I pay and I pay very well with tipping $50 in addition to the cost every single time my dog is boarded there. Andrea was extremely rude, and very unprofessional for being the business owner. Needless to say today I did not tip which is not like me to do whatsoever. I have a large family in hernando county, but I will no longer refer anyone there. I honestly was in tears driving back home from there… she just lost a loyal client. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing, but rudeness on the other hand does.
Andrea and her staff are incredible! We are Comfortable and Confident boarding our dogs here because they make a point to form a relationship with our dogs. We tried boarding our 2 American Staffordshires at other places and it didn’t work out as we have one with high anxiety. Andrea worked with her on our first visit and has really helped us in subsequent visits to get our dog out of her shell and improve her socialization.
I am so glad we found Andrea’s place. Our lab absolutely loves it there. LOVES IT. When we walk through the front doors, he can barely contain himself and he never wants to leave. The prices are amazing and honestly, I would pay twice as much. It’s such an amazing feeling to be able to drop your pooch off and have zero worries. That kind of peace of mind is hard to come by. Andrea has a customer for life.
Their staff is very professional and loves our dogs! They take care of them very well when we leave them for a stay and grooming is on point! We appreciate you very much!
Such an amazing place, ran by an amazing woman.. Andrea takes pride in what she does and absolutely loves all dogs. I have taken my dog there a few times and she loves it.. I drive out of my way to go to her because I know she will take care of my dog, I won't trust any other place!
Zeus loves Andrea and her team. They took great care of him while we went out of town.
Andrea was very sweet and helpful. She wrote down when the took their vitamins and when picking them up my dogs were extremely happy. They did not appear to be stressed at all. I did call and Andrea was happy to tell me how my puos were doing.
Wonderful care! These boys were there while their human went to rehab. While there she passed away. Lorraine made sure they completed their medicine and wouldn't rest until she found a home that would take both of them. So thankful for the wonderful care and attention.
UPDATE!!! 11/2021 Facility is still tops, however...my 2 Springers came home SO stressed that I don't think I can go down Raines Rd again. And they REEK! Both have diarrhea. I know that Springers are high maintenance, but this is awful. I feel so bad. Had to bath them both when I got home because their fur was stained with urine. Very nice staff...but I just don't know. 2 DOGS /55 LBS @ / BOARD + PLAYTIME 3 DAYS = $116.00 Original Post: Sometimes, I wish that the dogs would take the vacation and I could check in for a week! Staff is ALWAYS professional and caring, as well as the owner. Lots of pride shows in this facility. Would not take pups anywhere else (10+ years).
Our old groomer is cutting back so we needed to find a new one. Finding someone to trust with a member of your family is very difficult these days. I have to say I am very very please with everything from the first communication to the drop off and pickup. Their communication is awesome Very happy to have found them. Little Caleb was extremely happy. Will recommend and use for a long time coming
They take really great care of my pup every time. It's the only place my dog doesn't have any anxiety going to. Love them there!
Best place for our four legged child. They treat them as if they were their own animals. Always available for updates and happily send pictures and text. We call it “summer camp” and the dog can’t wait to go. Have been using them for many years and won’t go anywhere else.
Always take care of my pups. In a country like setting. Smells like urine is my only complaint; but with that being said there are usually allot of dogs there. 🐕 My 4 legged friends like it at this place and I have gone to some other places here that they definitely don't like and have been injured. …
I have both toured this facility, and have recommended several clients to them. I assure my clients that this kennel is worth the drive from Tampa. All of my clients have been happy staying at For Fours. One dog in particular was a Maltese with separation anxiety. The owners were going to Europe for a month. This dog came home from the kennel in perfect condition (she was in full coat) and not stressed. I was very impressed!
We took our Lab there today for grooming. We had a tour of the facility also. Staff was friendly,informative, & the area was very clean. Dogs seemed happy that were there. Our boy looked wonderful ! We have found people who love & care for the animals. 😊
I kept my babies there for 3 nights and the owner treated them as if they were her own. I would call and check up on them and she would tell me everything. She even text pictures and videos of them playing! My family has been boarding our dogs there for over 20 years and I would not go to any other place. Very warm and loving people!!!!
We boarded our high energy terrier here while on a eleven day trip. This was the fist time that she had been boarded and she has a tendency to pull hair out when she does not get enough attention. The owner greeted us at the counter in their lobby and walked me through the stay at their facility. Reassured I left my pooch and went my way. We returned and picked her up to find her in excellent condition and well cared for. She was clean, not bare spots, and seemed genuinely happy. I give it only 4 stars because I did not have time to tour the facility. I trusted that my vet had steered me towards a reputable establishment and it delivered.
Kathy Fowler brings old word "professionalism" back to the meaning. Upon first meeting, she arrived ready to ask us any and all pertinent information that she would need in order to care for our dog and meet our expectations and made record of it. WE had not placed out dog in the care of anyone for 4 years because she is a total member of our family and we were hesitant to have her cared for by anyone else. As our children aged, our demands changed and we found that we could no longer make it back to the house during sports events, day excursions, and week-ends/overnight trips and vacations where we couldn't take our dog. WE trust Kathy implicitly, she has access to our home, walks our dog and keeps her overnight in her own home. Our dog by nature is a guard dog, but she allows Kathy entrance into our home and runs to her car for overnight excursions and always returns home happy and healthy. For the past 2 years, Kathy responds to our texts in a timely manner (our requests are often last minute) and she has always arrived at the time that she commits to. She has gone above and beyond expectation's and has become an extended member of our family through our dog as he really loves Kathy too! We can't recommend her enough! Our last minute scheduling could be annoying to any other business but Kathy takes it in stride and works to accommodate us. Plus, she sends us text updates and pictures of our dog while we are away. Communication is outstanding!!!!
My family has been working with A Pawsitively Good Day Pet Service for almost a year since we adopted a Pitt bull rescue. Kathy has always been professional and responsive. Being a first time dog owner I have appreciated her expertise, and approach to building a relationship with our dog. Kathy is extremely flexible and reliable and has been available on a regular basis to accommodate our family's busy schedule. Our dog Brinda loves spending time with Kathy! Brin has stayed overnight with Kathy on many occasions and enjoys the time at her home. It is especially nice when Kathy sends a funny picture of the dog while I am away. I recommend her highly! Mary G Grafton, MA
Kathy has been caring for our 5 dogs for the last 10 months and has been outstanding. We often call her on short notice and she is still able to accommodate us and work out a schedule. From day one she went out of her way when we had a family emergency to make sure our dogs were cared for and walked daily.She is very professional and takes care of our special needs without hesitating.
Awesome service! Kathy is amazing with my 3 Australian Shepherds. Highly recommended!
Kathy is wonderful and our boy is so much happy staying with her then he ever was at a kennel!
We love Kathy! She loves our pets!
This is a great place for your fur babies! Their set-up is awesome! 6' PVC privacy fence surrounding nearly a quarter acre where they can run and play. If they get hot or tired, they can use the doggy door to go into the designated air conditioned doggy room. Your pets will think they're at a resort made just for them. Stacy and Andy will care for your pets as if they were their own.
Stacey was absolutely wonderful! She came out to our rental and took care of our two fur babies for a day. She came and met them the day before and both my dogs took to her instantly. So thankful for her and her love of animals! I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Our two recently adopted shelter pups LOVE going to Remmi’s World! We tried a different boarder before and they were so stressed out. I’m so glad we found this place, because they’re so excited to go and play in the huge backyard and they’re obviously well-loved here. Stacy even arranged their first day (trying to figure out if they’d be ok here) to be on a day when there was a compatible pup for them to play with.
Awesome doggie day care, and overnight for your pup! Call for a visit today.
Remmi’s World provided excellent daycare for our two dogs. We wanted to explore the Weeki Wachee State Park (where dogs are not allowed) which is only an eight minute drive to Remmi’s World. We would definitely use Remmi’s World again.
Our German Shepherd stayed for 4 days! We received updates and photos of Jax with his new friends he made. Great place, very happy! Would definitely recommend! Thank you for taking great care of our boy.
My little Chihuahua, Lyric, stayed with them for a week. They took great care of him. I particularly appreciated that they texted pictures and updates to me. I would definitely recommend them.
I cannot say enough good things about Stacy and Andy! This is our fur babies second time visiting with them and everything EVERYTHING - the care, affection, attentiveness, safety and accommodations at their property is top notch! We first used Remmi's during a semi emergency situation where we had to return home to Pennsylvania for a week. We have 4 little ones and are very leery of leaving them with anyone, not to mention traveling out of state for a week. Stacy and Andy were not only wonderful with our babies but made sure they sent us updates and pictures several times a day to ease our mind. One of our little ones is a very temperamental Chihuahua who does not care for men. 2 days into their visit, Stacy sent us a pic of her sitting on Andy's lap watching a movie! If you are ever in need of a sitter, whether it be in your home or theirs, LOOK NO FURTHER....Thanks so much Stacy & Andy...our lil posse will be back :)
Stacy and Andy watched our dog for 8 days and she was so well cared for! I’m so glad we found Remmi’s World- such a breath of fresh air and sense of comfort while we were away!
What a great experience I was very hesitant at first, honestly,I was worried. But I will tell you,Andy was fantastic with my puppy daushound Lola. She stayed from Friday to Sunday.Were DJs so we needed someone quick. But after reading all them reviews,it was just WOW. Lola,will be going back She made nice fur friends Don't hesitate there Amazingggg. Thankyou
Had my standard poodle groomed by Anna at the Valhalla kennels yesterday. She did a fabulous job but beyond that she sat with me asking questions making me comfortable and the dog comfortable prior to grooming him she gave me A great deal of information, much appreciated! It is a beautiful clean facility that they built with obviously a great deal of thought. I would recommend themTo anyone.
Valhalla Farm and Kennel has it all! If you're looking for dog boarding - day or overnight, grooming, conformation dog handling, breeding, or just some plain old advice, both Anna and Ben are a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to anything "dog." They are more than willing to share what they know and will enlist their extensive list of contacts for even more in-depth feedback! They are a fun couple to be around, and both humans and dogs know it and love them for it! Their newly constructed dog kennel is at the same standard that you would see in veterinarian schools - besides everything being clean! clean! clean!, they have many large indoor air conditioned / outdoor covered kennel runs that open out onto fenced in rolling pastures where the dogs can romp around, well-thought out internal cleaning stations and sanitation enhancing drainage, a large grooming area with hydraulic grooming tables & overhead pull-down electrical cords, an area for females in heat, spotless floors, a security system, and a large comfortable office area for visitors. During the slow time of the show season Anna offers her services to the local dog clubs and teaches conformation classes. When I have boarded my puppy at Valhalla during the day, Anna has even brought my puppy to the evening class for me so that I can meet them there after work! Anna always does more than what is expected. She spent 3 days helping a couple and their puppy with several house training issues in their own home. Will you ever find another service that gives such personalized and caring attention? I wanted to take my puppy to the local dog beaches. Guess what? Anna had me buy a doggy swim vest and promptly taught him how to swim in her own pool! When I needed guidance on materials and gear for my puppy, Anna and Ben were quick with texts, pictures, FaceTime, and videos of recommendations from which I could select. Anna even brought my puppy to the vet for me several times when I was unable due to my work schedule -- a 45 minute drive one way! Both Anna and Ben truly care about the well being of your dog and will do all that they can to ensure that your dog is in good health. They treat your dog as one of their own! My first visit to Valhalla was 2 months after one of their litters was born. Ben showed me their litter box inside their home, which, as a potential puppy owner, is comforting to know that they have a 24 hour watch on the litter and also that the puppies are growing up in a house with all of the normal sounds and activities that a puppy would hear in your own home. Since there are so many dogs on the property, whether they be large or small, the puppies also are not fearful of other dogs and are always very spirited and happy. Anna and Ben put me in touch with one of their puppy owners who happens to live near me. We've had a puppy play date and plan to have many more! While Anna is out showing dogs, Ben maintains the kennel. He has also shown dogs so he is familiar with the grooming standards for dog breeds. Not only will your dog emerge looking glorious from one of Ben's grooming sessions but Ben is very generous in showing you how to maintain the look at home. He will recommend the tools that you will need for your breed and show you the techniques to use. I wish hairdressers were as forthcoming! When I needed help with choosing the right type and size of training collar Ben did not hesitate to let me borrow a couple of theirs. He even removed links for me from my final purchased selection to ensure I had the correct fit! I was dreading having to wrangle with a couple of wrenches and pliers. In addition to giving out helpful dog advice, Ben has many interesting stories to tell. Just ask him about his bagpipe playing years! If you are looking for a world class dog boarding facility, dog groomer, dog handler, or dog breeder, look no further than Valhalla Farm and Kennel! Your dog's wagging tail and affectionate kisses are all that you need to know that your dog is in good hands while staying with Anna and Ben.
I just got my first show doggie, Giant schnauzer Anna and her husband has been super helpful. I tried doing the ear posting but it wasn’t so successful so I decided to drive 2 hours and let a professional do it. I arrived there they even had a sterile spot for my pup to go potty and an sterile grooming table to do his ears… i am a groomer and they ALSO give me lots of advice about grooming and showed me how to and why too. I am so thankful and happy to find them. Thanks guys I’ll definitely will be coming back and trusting my giant babies to you!
Amazing care and quality of service. I was very nervous dropping off my pup since she gets anxious around new people and places, but Valhalla Farm and Kennel did amazing with her and was patient. I HIGHLY recommend Valhalla Farm and Kennel to everyone, especially those who go on long vacations.
Valhalla farm and kennel was great! They took excellent care of my extra large dog. The owners have years of experience working with dogs which shows in their facility and boarding practices. I would recommend Valhalla to anyone that cares about their dog and wants them well cared for while you are away. The facility is a little off the beaten path so there is plenty of space and no concern of traffic issues. Give them a call early because they book up quickly.
We love Valhalla Kennels! Before we first dropped our dog there, Anna gave a thorough tour of the facilities and demonstrated clear expertise in animal care. Our dog has now stayed at Valhalla 4 or 5 times, and she loves it so much that she tries to run out of the car as fast as she can when we arrive. Anna is also very easy to coordinate with and she has been flexible as our travel plans changed at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.
Lovely facility but more importantly, your dogs will come home in excellent condition, clean and exercised. Attention to their needs is very apparent, you can feel comfortable the are safe and happy.
We have been taking our dogs to Ben and Anna almost every week for grooming or boarding for the past year, and we are very satisfied by the excellent treatment. Both Anna and Ben are top class groomers. Our dogs have never looked better! Valhalla is always clean and neat. The dogs obviously get the best of care. Ben and Anna have also been generous with their time when we've called for advice about a sick dog or any other matter. This is truly a top quality establishment for grooming or boarding. There is no place better.
Valhalla kennel is beautiful and clean kennel that was built to accommodate every canines needs. I boarded my young Ibizan Hound with them. When I went to pick him up he was bouncing around and when he got home he was exhausted from all the playing he was able to do. The kennel has different paddocks for the dogs to run and exercise. Anna and Ben were easy to communicate with and transparent when discussing the way they run their kennel. Ben gave me a tour of the kennel and explained their cleaning procedure. These kennels were built extremely sturdy and used top of the line material to help maintain the durability and cleanliness. Anna and Ben have thought of everything and included it in this kennel. The runs are HUGE, air-conditioned, and are always monitored by cameras. I would recommend this kennel to anyone!
I recently met Anna at a dog show not thinking that I was getting another Giant Schnauzer. I went to visit Vallhalla Farm and after meeting them and seeing their dogs we decided to get another GS. Ben and Anna are very friendly, responsible and knowledgable. The love they have for ALL the dogs is palpable! I have great peace of mind knowing that when we go on a family vacation our Bella will be staying with them. I drive 45 minutes just so they can groom her. Also, the facility is clean and plenty of space for the dogs to run around and have their play time. Highly recommend them!
They are the best!!!!! We love them and our dogs do too!!!! Hands down the only people I trust and even my dogs hate to leave when we come pick them up from here!!!!
Our 115lb lab Maggie loves it here. She wags her tail so vigorously when we get there she almost falls over. Great people and dog lovers. Highly recommended!
We left our 3 dogs here for a week. The cost was affordable especially for 3 dogs. After seeing the location and how nice Stacy & Dennis were. Our 1st thought was, our dogs may not want to come back home. When we went to pick them up, they were all happy and healthy. They will definitely be visiting again on our next trip.
Ive been taking my dog over to Stacey house for years now. I lovw how there kennels include out door time. Time in there pool if the dogs like to swim and indoors in their house like her own dogs. Ive never had a problem here and i trust them with my dogs
Nicest people in the world own this doggy day care, they treat our Jasmine like their own. Our dog is so excited to see Stacy. Dennis and Doogie she forgets to be upset about us leaving.
Here’s my story, I recently picked up my dogs after having a boarded for over a week. One of them came back to me with a split right ear, a scabbed nose, 10lbs lighter and completely dehydrated. I had to take him to his vet immediately. They failed to follow instructions on how to care for him completely neglected to tell me what was going on while I was away.
As always, thank you for being so kind to our fur babies! You have an amazing place for them to go when we travel! Highly recommended!!
We have had nothing but wonderful Experiences with the Alpha Doggie Dude Ranch! Our Beagle, Lola, Loves it there!
Stacey is the best with our kiddos (pups), she's our go to for our family while we take a vacation
Stacy & Dennis are great with my 2 Cane Corsos where most other boarding facilities struggle.
