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.

Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Thanh
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Kristina and Doug
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Korinda
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!
Nanette
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Chris
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
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!
Mona
David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.

I've taken my puppy here for two training classes, and he just had his first daycare session today as well. Everyone at Happy Dog Acres is super friendly and genuinely cares about the dogs. The training program is really fun and top notch, and Cosmo had a total riot in daycare today. Kudos to everyone at this facility, I cannot recommend it enough
There's a reason it's called Happy Dog Acres! My pup jumps out of the car to go see her friends and has an awesome time every time we bring her! Kelly & the girls take great care of her...not a single worry when she's there!!
I have two very energetic German shorthair pointers. One with Addison disease, the other is still recovering from a traumatic injury approx 1 yr ago. (Severed achilles tendon and repair) she has some pretty bad separation anxiety. However, with the love and care of the staff at happy dog acres they both were happy healthy upon pickup. It was our first good kennel experience. We will definitely be going back! They helped ease my anxiety as we were going out of state by sending photos of them playing in the yard! Fabulous job all around!
Our pup loves Happy Dog Acres! The trainer, Kelly, and her assistant, Lynn, are wonderful. Highly recommend!
My boy Luke loves spending time at Happy dog acres, even if it's for the day or a night or two. He has a lot of room to run and my who is a coonhound definitely needs it. Kelly and the girls are absolutely wonderful with all the dogs and keep them very safe.
Kelly and James are wonderful! Very knowledgeable and truly love the dogs in their care. Their staff are well trained and professional. The dogs have a lot of room to play, and the training is the best we've seen. We wouldn't consider taking our dogs anywhere else. Highly recommend!!
The owner seemed nice but there are a lot of issues with this daycare/kennel. Firstly when I arrived to drop off my dog to do a short 2 hour trial, I was told to wait outside in my car. No one is allowed in the buildings, and you don’t even know what building your dog will be in. It looks like a house on the property and then a big barn, but it’s unclear what type of set up is inside. I understand if they don’t want dogs to get upset with strangers coming and going, but there should be an area customers can go in to drop off without other dogs seeing you. I was very uneasy about not knowing what the set up was like inside. And having to wait outside. The couple people that were working seemed to stare at me like I was some intruder, only one of the staff was welcoming. Wasn't very happy with the set up. No indoor play areas, the staff has to leash walk the dogs to the outdoor play areas (very unsafe practice), there is a large amount of trash just lying around like wood pieces with nails sticking out, and unsafe building structures on the property. Will not be going back.
Pretty good kept our dog here for a day he seemed pretty happy lol
We recently adopted a rescue puppy. The training, tips and individualized attention have been an immense help in dealing with her issues. I highly recommend Kelly and the crew at Happy Dog Acres.
I am so glad I found this place! Kelly and everyone are awesome. And so many play areas for the dogs. I highly recommend.

Left in kennel all weekend. No other dogs. Tore her bed up that smelled like urine and was filthy. Drank lots of water when I got her threw her bed out! Gave her bath when we got home. She's white and has brown patches on her fur from not sure what.. Smelled very strong urine in the place. Staff was nice. But don't think sylvy will be back. You get what you pay for.
L & M boarding did a great job with my dog's first time at a kennel. A special thanks to Patty!!!! She did a fantastic job at putting everyone at ease. Thank you so much Patty; you ROCK!!! The Sweeney family.
Our Sheppard was so thirsty when we got her back. In her kennel, they had her water dish, on the floor, but she had spilled it. They also had a cattle prod on the wall, hanging out side the kennels. They advertise it being a three star kennel that's what I gave them. 😞 …
I've used them a few times and every time I picked up, they tell me they hadn't fed that day. Got home last time and the dog couldn't drink enough water. If I get a different dog, it will never stay there!
Reasonable rates and great care for the dogs. I was very happy.
Great place if you can get the right person to serve you.
Awesome place

This place is AMAZING. They treated our pups like their own! They paid special attention to our English Setters and their exercise needs! Their facility is extremely clean & comfortable for the dogs. Our babies came home soooo happy and sooo tired! 😂 What a great experience! We will definitely be back! Thank you!! …
New ownership and new level of service. Our pups were warmly welcomed and expertly cared for while we were on a 4 day trip. Easy in and out, convenient hours, and dogs had a blast. Highly recommend.
Our golden and daughters corgi had a great time at this kennel. The owners are accessible and worked with our special needs. So convenient, only a half mile off 75 on exit 222. Perfect stay over for your up north trips!
Fantastic, friendly, clean, with great prices. My dogs 1st away from home experience and she's very clingy, I picked her up 10 days later in good health and spirit. They even sent me pics of her as she went along, I recommend them for your animal stay
The proprietors were very nice along with very caring of my animals. They're definitely see me again. And the grooming was outstanding.
Did a walk in nail trim for my 3 bostons. They were great and took me right in. Diffently will be going back!
Very friendly caring people and they do a lot with your pet for play/exercise all while posting your pet on fb for you to see when you are missing them.
We have had our furnace at Happy Pups bnb twice now in a year. I know I can go on my vacation and That Lola is taken care of. Jay and Stephanie are great with her and Lola gets excited to see them. Thanks for caring so much.
We have boarded our dogs with Happy Pups for years now. Our guys are always eager to be there, and are not stressed at all after staying. Jay keeps the facility impeccably clean, and our dogs love him as well. Great folks to deal with, and a reasonable price. I highly recommend Happy Pups.
We travel downstate quite a bit and have been using Happy Pups Bed and Biscuit. We love this kennel! Owners are so nice; kennel is clean, and when we pick up the dogs they are content and relaxed. We never worry about our dogs once we drop them off.

We absolutely love Carla and wags she does phenomenal work taking care of my two babies. I trust her wholeheartedly, dropping my two girls off and every time I pick them up they are so happy and so cute. She doesn’t amazing job and her prices are very very good. I highly recommend wags.
Andrea is absolutely wonderful! She’s very flexible and professional! She went out of her way to take Layla to day care. She calls me back within a few hours. I don’t think you can get better than Wags grooming and boarding!
We used Wags 2 yrs ago with my bk lab puppy of 8 months old and Andrea was the best with Tucker! We needed to board Tucker again and took a chance Wags was still open. Andrea answered and I was so happy! She took the best care of our Tucker …
They are awesome! They treat your pets amazing, my dog is always so clean, ears, nails and the whole 9 yards. Their boarding setup is top notch. Kennels are cleaned and rotated every day with a large area for them to run and play. Pricing is very reasonable!!
Andrea and Carla are very personable, go above and beyond to take care of your pets needs, they have boarding and large yard for dogs to run. Very clean and well kept. Your typical small town business that does anything they can to make you feel like family!
They are the best there!! I won't take my fur babies anywhere else!!
Very patient with my 2 large dogs! One being pretty wary of strangers. Quick and VERY reasonably priced, great with the dogs. I will be going back!
Andi and Carla take the best care of my boys.When I gotta go outta town or work and have a family function afterwards,my boys go here.
Great service and care for MY family member Bella. Great Family owned business. Thank you Wags of Lake City...
Andrea is the Best. She does AWESOME with my pet. Would recommend to all!
