Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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
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.

Sheelagh
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.

Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Lori
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Suzanne
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Robert
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Lesa Renee
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Jeanette
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Hannah
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!
annie
David was a super interesting guy, we had good conversation. My place was clean, my cat was happy...he communicated with me.. David is a great house and pet sitter . He is very gentle, which my cat enjoys.
Jacob
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

Duke LOVES Happy Trails! 🐾 🩵 He can barely contain himself when we turn down the drive and he realizes where we are. They always take such great care of my sweet boy. Definitely recommend!! …
First time leaving any of our pets with anyone other than family/friends. I’ll never have to ask family/ friend to pet sit again. Our “baby”, Lady, was so well taken care of. She even came home in a festive handkerchief. So, so cute. WE WILL BE BACK!
First time using their service this weekend. We will definitely use them again. They asked us if we would like to tour the facility, and we did. Very clean and organized. Very nice people to work with. We have a black lab and an aussie-Doodle. Both well taken care of. Good prices too!
Never had a problem. All my dogs have given them a 1 “Paw” up!! I trust them completely
Awesome place to temporarily home our Great Dane and Lab while out of town. Great staff and facilities!
I rate below one star. I had called & left a VM about boarding my dog there. In the callback I outlined my dog's medical needs. The woman yelled at me, "WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE!" So unprofessional let alone cruel. That's between me & my vet. Just say no, don't be nasty about it!
My two dogs, Jax and Hunter, were very well cared for. They stayed for 5 days. They smelled nice when I picked them up and they seemed to really like the staff. Staff sent photos through text at my request while I was gone. Will always use this dog hotel for my hounds.
They take great care of my kids 💜 …
Absolutely love Happy Trails. The only place I feel comfortable enough to leave my furbaby Molly with, knowing she is being very well taken care of.
Very clean and friendly. Staff made it easier to drop my puppy off for the first time.

This is the nicest facility I have ever experienced. It is immaculately clean the owners and staff are very friendly. They are thoughtful and consider each dog individually. Sweet pea had a fabulous time on her dog vacation! Highly recommended very very thoughtful kind competent service great value
Absolutely love this place! We have been taking our puppy here for a few years now. They are very kind in person and on the phone. Our Belle loves coming here and I wouldn't trust anyone else with our baby! She is a ball of energy. The owners always make sure she is up to date with her vaccines and inquire about any new preferences or changes since her last stay. I would highly recommend this Kennel! In fact I have and my friends are very pleased as well.
We had never used a boarding place for our dog before finding Leiter's Country Kennel. Pam and Bob are amazing and LOVE our dog. They make sure that he has time to play, heat, air conditioning, and even soothing music! The place is spotless, and the staff is so friendly. I never have a question about him being happy and cared for. He is so tired out and happy when he comes back home. He absolutely loves going there and I would never take him anywhere else. The price is very, very reasonable for the attention our big guy gets!
We love Leiter’s Country Kennels so much! A quiet country setting, beautiful Kennels, and lots of love for your dog are just some of the reasons we LOVE this kennel so much! Pam is wonderful to work with and cares a great deal about your dog... sending pictures and reports to you. Our Dog, Chloe, gets so excited when we pull up she nearly knocks down the door to get in! Thank you Pam and staff for caring for our Chloe and giving such attention to detail. We wouldn’t leave her with anyone else!
I boarded my dog here over the weekend. She has been boarded in the past at another place and did not do well there. She would hardly eat, she literally would climb up on my shoulder and cling to me for dear life, and she would cry all the way home. What a difference bringing her to Leiter's Country Kennel was. She ate fine; I could tell she was happy to see me when I picked her up, but it wasn't the anxiety-ridden greeting I've had in the past; and she didn't cry at all on the way home. The kennel is clean, the owner is really nice, and she has people working for her that spend extra time with the animals. I think that makes a big difference. Plus they sent me photos of my dog while I was gone, which was a nice touch. I will definitely board her here again if the need arises.
We have boarded dogs for roughly 7 years now at over 6 different locations in two states, and this is the best place they have ever stayed. They go hog-wild in the car once we turn down the gravel road! It is not the cheapest (it's pretty close), but you absolutely get what you pay for. Their shed is clean, climate-controlled, and very spacious (dogs get an inside kennel and an individual outdoor kennel space). If you stay during off-peak hours, Pam and Bob let your dogs have near-unlimited outdoor play as long as they are quiet (and don't try to tunnel out!). Our dogs have actually bonded better as a pair when staying with these folks. I highly endorse their recommendation.
Incredibly nice people and very caring of dogs. We brought our dog who is often nervous when boarded and around other dogs. They texted us updates and photos of her to let us know how she was doing. They spent the time to get to know her and care for her. Would recommend to anyone, amazing service and care.
Leiter's Kennels were very accommodating on getting my dog in last minute for daycare. I really appreciate their professionalism and will definitely use their services again.
I have been using this kennel for both long and short-term for a little over year now. I have been thoroughly impressed and grateful . They have always been able to accommodatell my two Goldendoodles, Sammy and Sade Rae, at even the shortest notice, every time. Additionally , when I plan to stay a few days longer on my trip, they have always been very kind and happy to have them for an extra day or two. The price is extremely reasonable, the staff very kind, and the social set up so great for my fur babies as they are enjoying the company of other dogs and taking away the added worry of thinking of them cooped up in a crate. Most importantly, Sammy and Sade Rae''s behavior and disposition regarding going to or leaving Leiter ''s Country Kennel is indicative of how well they are treated there. They love the ride there and as soon as I pull in the their driveway they are jumping around in the car to get out! Never once have they been anything but their happy self when I have to pick them up. This kennel is very clean. It is heated and has air conditioning. This is a great business that I am happy to support and would recommend to anyone who''s pet would enjoy the social experience offered at this fantastic kennel.
Excellent place to board your pet. Owner sent me updates and pictures of my pet through my trip. My cat came home happy and contented. Would definitely use again.
