We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully. Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

Wendy and the gang at Waggin Tails are absolutely wonderful. They love and care about animals and it shows. My senior chocolate lab, Whitman, had a great time!! I highly recommend...thank you, Wendy!!
We had a family emergency and had to go out of town and we contacted Wendy to see if they any open kennels for Sophie and she stated bring her over we will make it work. We have been with Waggin Tails since they first opened and Wendy and her employees are great, they treat our fur babies as their own.
Wendy is awesome with Creek, our GSP. He actually gets excited when we pull into her driveway. He always gets the best of care and Wendy is always happy to see Creek. Found Wendy after several bad experiences with other kennels in the area.
We love Wendy! She's the best as she not only cares about the dogs in her charge, she's there for all animals in the community, and she is always trying to help any way she can. She always goes above and beyond, and we greatly appreciate her for it!
We were able to secure a spot for our dog, DaKota and get away. Great and Friendly staff who took care of him very well. I reccomend!
We love the care and service provided by Waggin Tails. Our dogs love it too.
Found Waggin Tails about 1 year ago from the recommendation of several neighbors. Wendy is the absolute best! She is very easy to work with, accommodating, and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs. Would never take my dog anywhere else!
Ya know how sometimes there is that feeling of regret or remorse when you take your beloved best friend to a kennel? You won't get that feeling at Waggin Tails! Wendy is absolutely amazing!! She is a huge dog lover, and treats every dog as if they are her own! We take our black lab to "Miss Wendy's". He knows when we pull in her driveway and always starts waggin' his tail. Once we get out, he trots right in as if it's his second home. I can always tell he's loved and spoiled, and I think he probably gets more attention and exercise with Wendy than he does at home! She always texts me updates on how he's doing or little pictures/videos of him playing with the other dogs. Not necessary at all, but definitely appreciated and so thoughtful! Also, the kennels are super clean! You can't even tell there's 1 dog there, let alone 8 or 10. No odor at all! Waggin' Tails is everything you're looking for in a kennel - loving staff, clean environment, lots of play and exercise, and cooperation and responsiveness from the owner. As long as Wendy is in business, I will never take my pup anywhere else!
This was the first time my Scout was ever boarded. He's a needy, lovable pain in the tail. Waggin Tails took such doooooood care of him. Sent me pics and messages to let me know he was ok. Took care of all of his needs, gave him some good exercise and dog socializing. I will ALWAYS take him here when I need to! Thank you, Wendy!!!
Wendy is an exceptional person who loves each and every dog as her own. I highly recommend her kennel as it is clean , well organized and managed well.
Took my elderly mother to California for about a week and had them watch her cocker spaniel. They were so sweet to send pictures and videos of him so I could show my mom that her fur baby was doing good. When we picked him up he was perfectly fine and it was clear he had been taken very good care of. We will definitely be returning customers as needed. Thank you Tender Loveing Pet Care ❤️
Have been bring our dogs here for a few years and my parents have been boarding their animals here for probably 10 years. The owners are always nice and the kennels are well kept!
We have used tender loving pet care for a while now. Our boxer is getting up there in age, but she loves coming here and is always taken care of. The owners are very accommodating whenever possible if we have a change of plans and need to change schedule. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Can't thank you enough for the great care you gave to our cat "Spooky' .. And a huge Thank you for going above and beyond for helping my husband change our flat tire as soon as we got there.. truly saved us!! Great service and great people!!
My family has used this kennel several times now and are always pleased. Our Boxer is a nervous pup, but never hesitates when we take him here and his tail begins wagging from the time he gets out of the truck. They offer amazing prices and we always feel very confident that our dog is safe and being well taken care of. Thank you TLP for giving us a trusted place to leave our pup when needed.
We love this establishment. The owners treat our animals so kinda and make them feel at home. We will always go to this business because they make you feel at ease with knowing your babies are handled with such care. Suzy-Q and Buster are always happy to go there!
We have been bringing our dogs to Tender Loving Pet Care for many years and they love it! They receive such great care that we don’t have to worry when we travel. Highly recommend!
Great place. Dogs were taken care of and we will definitely take our dogs back. Update, still taking all of our dogs there and customer service is still amazing.
I've been using these guys for a couple of years now and I'm always happy with their service. They have air conditioned kennels and incredibly reasonable prices. They're my go-to when I plan on going out of town. Definitely use them!
Great place for my big pal to stay when he can't come with the family. They take excellent care of him. Edit: just wanted to give an update. We've been taking our pup here now for almost 3 years. I still cannot say enough excellent things about them. They have absolutely no problems handling my large dog who can be difficult at times. I still 100% recommend Tender Loving Pet Care.
