Leslie consistently demonstrated outstanding communication skills, both initially and throughout the entire process, and I would gladly give her more stars if possible. Leslie arrived as scheduled, and instantly the animals fell in love with her and Bennie. Our cats love our dogs but usually won't come in the house when a strange dog is here but they didnt even hesitate to come meet Bennie. Bennie was very calm and a true gentleman. Leslie sent pictures throughout the sit reassuring us the gang were all getting along and enjoying her and Bennie's company. She read through the welcome guide before we left as well as we showed her around. It was very nice getting the chance to know her a bit before we ledt the following morning. We felt very comfortable knowing our home and pets were in good hands. It is very apparent when you meet Leslie that she truly does love animals. When our Molly decided to hide, Leslie called us right away because she feared Molly may have gotten spooked by a firework going off in the neighborhood and escaped under the gate. I felt so bad for Leslie because she blamed herself because it was on her watch. I have trackers on all my pets and it turned out that Molly was still in the house and just hiding really well. She can curl up.pretty small. Lealie took our Lab to check the walking route and see if Molly was there. When I called and told her Molly had to be at the house because her tracker showed her there, she returned to our home and Molly hreeted her as she came in the front door. I was very appreciative of Leslie's phone call though because she didnt wait hours to call, she searched the yard and house and called right away. We decided to cut our trip short a day and asked Leslie if she minded if we came home a day early. We let her know we didnt expect her to leave early and made sure she was comfortable with our decision. As a pet parent, it is imperative that we remember the sitters are also on vacation and we didnt want to intrude on her time. As it turned out, we ended up stopping by the ER on our way home where my husband was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Unfortunately we had both the RV and my car and I needed to figure out how to get them home. I reached out to Leslie who offerred to give me a ride back to the hospital after I dropped o e vehicle off at home so I could retrieve the second vehicle. BTW, the surgeon was able to repair my hubbys aneurysm and he will be coming home soon. Leslie was a comfort during this frightening time and even stayed an extra day to help out and care for our home and pets. She was a teue blessing. Leslie left the house spotless along with so.e fresh flowers for me when I got back from visiting my husband. If you get an opportunity to host Leslie in your home, rest assured your home and pets will be well loved and well taken care of. We.would welcome.Leslie back anytime. She is not just a pet sitter, she is a new trusted friend.
Abby was truly the best pet sitter we've ever had. We were never concerned or worried about the care of our pups and home. All the neighbors have told me that the dogs looked happy on the many walks. She sent videos of photos about every other day. We hope that Abby will stay in our home next summer as well. Abby is very highly recommended by our whole family, including the dogs!!!
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
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. :)
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
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!

My Lily Loves The Dog Cabin and the staff love her! The staff there are loving and consistent. True dog lovers. They know and love the pups, it shows. Lily is a high energy girl and comes home tired and happy! Highly recommend for you 4 legged friends.
Staff at the Dog Cabin have always been friendly and have gone out of their way to accomodate late reservations and last minute changes in plans. Our dog Bullet is always well cared for and usually comes back all worn out from playing.
Winston when he goes to doggy daycare here h is so happy to go and happy to come home.he loves it there. Whenever there is a need for him to go there he is so happy and they lve him there too and it's close to home. So happy we found this place so close by too.
We LOVE The Dog Cabin! Our Coco girl gets excited the second we turn onto the street! She nearly busts down the door to get in the back to start playing with her friends! There is an array of dogs, some like to play some like to relax so your dog will fit right in! The staff is absolutely amazing and Coco loves them all! They are all so caring and attentive. They meet your dog’s needs, whatever they may be! Our pup is exhausted after a full day of playing, which is great for her high puppy energy! I don’t have enough nice things to say about The Dog Cabin and all of the staff!
Our little girl LOVES spending her days at the Dog Cabin- and we enjoy a very tired pup when she comes home after. The staff is so friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
I have been using The Dog Cabin for occasional boarding, grooming, and daycare since 2015. I have never used any other place as I have been 100% satisfied with the quality of care, services, facilities, and pricing. My last dog and current dog like going there. The staff is great to work with and show real concern for the well-being of my pets. The dogs come home clean, happy, and played out.
We've been taking our dog to Dog Cabin for about a year and a half now for daycare multiple times a week as well as boarding when we need it. She couldn't love it any more! The staff know her by name when she comes in and she always leaves pooped after a fun day of play. They are very receptive and flexible with scheduling and have essentially acted as a collective third parent for our pup. I would give them 6 stars if possible!
Very disappointed to give a 1 star review. I’ve recommended folks (including my friends) to use this place for more than a year but rescinding my recommendation now. Wouldn’t recommend this place for any dog owners that have a hyperactive dog. We used this place for over a year and a half and all of a sudden we were told that our dog was too hyperactive. The previous staff were great but none of the new folks are pleasant to talk to. They’re rude and condescending for sure. The guy is pleasant and soft spoken but not the staff. We were told only once in the duration that he went there that our dog was too hyper. We haven’t received any serious complaints. neither has anyone called us that our dog was not behaving. And we’ve left him overnight there. Yesterday, when we went to pick him up, we were just casually told that he’s difficult to control and that we weren’t welcome. I had checked the camera on and off during the day and could see at least 50 other dogs with only 2 people overseeing the dogs. With that amount of dogs in one room, things are bound to get difficult. Our dog has a routine that’s pretty quiet. He’s the only dog at home and usually spends the entire day with me when am working. The environment has definitely changed over time there. More dogs now as compared to when we started. I wouldn’t have chosen to write this review but our dog has been very sad since he returned from this place. He has not slept all night and has not eaten neither has drank water all day. We’ve been snuggling and comforting him all day. He definitely is depressed and am sure we’ll fix this over time. Disappointing that this happened to us. This is one time I wished he could talk and tell us what actually happened there.
This is the best dog care available. I brought my dog Magoo there for years and it was the best thing I ever did for him. I love this place..If you need a dog daycare, or boarding while on vacation, look no further. You can always look in on your dog anytime of day. The camera system is excellent and an amazing feature.
My dog looks and smells fantastic. They got her mats out and brushed her out. You can tell she feels so much better. The groomer and desk staff were so friendly and welcoming. The rates were extremely reasonable!!! Will definitely recommend and definitely be back.
