Pet Sitters in East Olympia, WA

Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma inhaler which was so comforting to me! I will always use Oh My Dog Sitters for my pet's care in my absence.

Amy and her team are *great* and the Client Portal system is a huge time-saver. All of the sitters are great and the daily visit check-in, with an activity report and photos, is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Oh My Dog to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on them every visit. Each visit they contacted me to say they were there, sent pics and then gave details of their visit. They let me know when they left and how the dogs went potty and what treats or food they gave them. Highly recommend Oh My Dog (sitters) I look forward to having them in the future

Can't gush over Amy and her crew enough. The care they take and attention to safety detail is top notch. And our dogs go bonkers when they see Amy or Brenda out and about, so I know they are given the best times on their walks and visits! We hope to recommend Oh My Sitters to many more doggie parent friends -- we wish we'd found them sooner.

With Amy and crew I know our kitty is well cared for while we are gone! I love the daily reports letting us know how things are going. They even take the time to ensure our hummingbird feeders are full. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

Amy and her team are the best pet sitters we have ever worked with. We never have to worry about our pups while out of town, and get photos and written updates with each visit through the app they use (also super convenient.) They are understanding and accommodating of our two rescue dog's needs and quirks, and truly go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy while we are gone. I cannot recommend Oh My Dog enough!

We always use OMD to care for our precious pets while away. The team is very professional, caring, and attentive to details. I recommend them highly for both cats and dogs. We always get fabulous notes and photos while we’re away which gives us peace of mind on our trip, and our pets are very well taken care of, including meds as needed and special notes.

Amy has watched our cats twice now and she is awesome! She sends daily updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond for our pets and house and it really helps remove any anxiety we have with leaving our pets at home while we are gone.

Amy from Oh My Dog! (Sitters) made friends with our shy cat in record time. She is personable, professional, and an experienced pet-sitter. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with someone checking in when we can't be there. Highly recommend -- your pets will be in good hands!

Oh My Dog! took excellent care of my diabetic cat which was such a great relief. Their attention to detail and daily pet updates were awesome. I highly recommend Oh My Dog! and will definitely use their services again.

My two huskies spent a day at doggie daycare and had a great time. They are a very busy place, but always take the time to handle my pups and be patient with them. I appreciate the staff and the great care they provide. Also recently boarded my huskies while I went out of state to help care for an ill parent. My stress was already high from the situation and leaving my fur babies only added stress. The staff were so kind and understanding. They gave me updates whenever I wanted and the pictures they sent were great. I am not sure the fur babies missed me at all! They had so much fun. I had them groomed on the day I picked them up too. It was the best grooming they had ever had. Super impressed and just love this place. See photos of fun.

I was super worried about boarding my dog as it has been 2-3 years and when he went to doggy daycare, he had a bad experience there….. however, Northwind was great!! They took good care of my boy and made sure he had the best experience! They even were able to get him to play in the social times with other dogs, which surprised me because my dog is a lil crazy sometimes.. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby while I was out of town! It’s greatly appreciated & I will be bringing him back here!

This started out a positive experience. We were boarding our 3 dogs for the first time, back in early July. We toured the facility less than a week before we dropped our dogs off to make sure we were comfortable with the decision. Everyone seemed nice and knowledgeable. We dropped our crew off 6 days later. We were gone for approx a week. When we came back, we picked up the crew and got a rundown on how they had done. We were impressed. Next day I noted my dogs were acting poorly, sneezing, coughing, lethargic. I called the kennel to ask them about it and I was told, oh yeah, there's Bordatella going through the kennel. I was told they posted a sign. We were there 3 times and never was it mentioned. I was told to just give them cough medicine and they would be fine. I was also told they would check on us in a couple days to see how it was going. We decided to call our vet and they said they would need to go on antibiotics. We also called our doctors, because my husband is a transplant patient and We were told we needed to get on antibiotics as well. There were times during the first couple of weeks our dogs were so sick, we had to sit with them in the bathroom with shower on to help them breathe. Our dogs began having diarrhea issues not long after that. We thought it was stress and the antibiotics. A few weeks later we had them tested, since it wasn't going away, and we were told they had giardia as well. Now, our dogs don't go anywhere, and they aren't around any other animals, so the only explanation was tue kennel. When we explained to our vet what had taken place and about how the kennel had handled things once we got home, they were not happy. Posting a sign and never disclosing at any point before, during or after our dogs were there, was considered poor practice in their eyes. It's one thing if the kennel staff didn't know, but they did. Why didnt they shut down and clean, air out, or whatever before taking in more dogs. We paid extra for our dogs to be kept separate from the other dogs to keep them as safe as possible. And we checked on them several times while we were gone. We also had a backup person available if they needed to be picked up. Them coming home with 2 seperate illnesses never crossed our minds. So the first thing some one is likely to say, when reading this, is these things happen. We are now heading to the end of October and our dogs are STILL sick. We've gone through several rounds of antibiotics, testing, other medications, constantly disinfecting and we are still dealing with diarrhea on a daily basis. That is 3 MONTHS of constant sickness, stress, expenses, medications, and there's no relief in sight. We have been told by the vet that because it is so contagious they keep giving it to each other. I have other pets in my home that have had to stay separated from the dogs, which compounds the stress, anxiety and workload. I want people to really think about that. We wanted to go on a vacation, which we hadn't done in years, and this is what we were left with. No being up front, no follow ups, nothing. Why would this place think ANYONE would be okay with playing roulette with their dogs health. This has ruined any trust we have in placing our pets with anyone else. If you think this is not a big deal, or okay in anyway, go ask your vet if they think this practice is okay. My husband left a review a few months ago and, in his words, no one cared. Still no follow up or explanation on why my dogs came home this sick. I'm angry. I'm angry and I'm frustrated that this experience gets a shrug and an oh well. I've noticed alot of people are speaking highly of this kennel, it was recommended to us as well, but this was our experience after ONE time when our dogs were being kept to themselves. NEVER AGAIN.

The staff was great, the tour was great but when we picked our dogs up they all had Bordetella (kennel cough). When we called them the person told us that there was something posted on the wall and we should of read it. If you are having any issues where our animals can get sick it should be discussed with us. Staff was very friendly and I liked the facilities but having a real tough time with our dogs being sick from staying there

Northwind Pet Center is a great place to drop you dog or cat off fir the day or when you go out of town. Their kennel areas are temperature control and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend them.

Very caring and efficient. Clean. Playtime. My dogs love NorthWind. Professional. Been going here for 20 years. Love them!

The only place I trust to take care of my dog. Competitively priced and a lot of different playtime and grooming options available when boarding

These guys do a great job at grooming our dogs. Highly recommend them. The manager and staff go all out for Halloween decorations.

JBLM Service members find another spot for your furry family members. I got my husky back with a gash on his head and a swollen face. After talking with the staff they said some other dog went after him after reviewing video footage and then I got the reply of, "we're not responsible for injuries at playtime." I doubt I'm getting the full truth because my dog is also wincing like he's afraid he's going to get hit and he's never done that before. Additionally: Don't take my word for it just look at other 1 star reviews and see the pattern for yourselves. Update: This kennel and their inept owner can count their blessings our furry family member made a full recovery. Talked with several vets about what happened and they think he either was trying to escape and got stuck or he was hit. I can't afford bail money should I find I was lied to and he was hit so y'all get a free ride on this one.

This is the most amazing place for daycare if your a dog! Our dog Cooper gets so excited when we tell him he is going to the North Winds! The staff is amazingly attentive and caring. We canceled coming in one day as Cooper had a sore foot. They called to make sure he was OK. The foot was totally unrelated to the NW, but the staff cared about him. We are so confident when we board him there that everyday is a good day for him. Highly recommend the NW. Such a great place!

Karen is seriously a master of her craft. When we first met her, we could tell right away that she's highly personable and extremely competent when it comes to dog-care. We enlisted her help several times throughout the years and every time our dog, Jake, was beyond excited to see her. She's professional, flexible, funny, and great at caring for our fur baby.

I hired Karen for daily weekday walks for 6 weeks. She arrives timely, has strong communication skills and my dog loves her! I was looking for service with someone experienced, trustworthy, reliable, licensed, and insured and Karen met all this criteria and more. Look no further for your pet care!

Karen is a gem. Reliable, trustworthy, prompt and very considerate. We've used her services for almost 2 years now, through the pandemic. She has been wonderful. Our German shepherd loves her and we do too. You could not find a better person to take care of your pet. 10 Stars from us.

You will not be disappointed. Karen has been caring for my pups on and off for nearly a decade. The last six months of his life my 100lb boxer stopped using his rear end. Karen came several days a week, put him in his wheelchair, cleaned up after him (no easy task), but most importantly, genuinely cared enough to help me track his needs. She took one of the best pictures I have of my old man. I took a few years to get my next dog, which Karen has now walked several days a week for four years. My dog LOVES her walks. If I happen to be there when Karen comes my dog does not even acknowledge my presence. Karen is communicative, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I have never once worried about my pets in her care. When my dog allows me to chat with her, I genuinely enjoy her company.

Karen is reliable and goes the extra mile. We have used her service for our kitty for several years. Karen is also a fun person to chat with and we know our furry family member is in good hands!

Karen's Walkies! service is outstanding. She's reliable, professional, friendly, smart, and a pleasure to know. She's been extremely responsive and flexible when our travel plans have changed on very short notice. She's great with checking the house while we're gone and she's very easy to work with. She's well worth the cost for the piece of mind alone. I highly recommend Karen and her Walkies! service.

I'm so glad I found Oly Walkies! My family took a much-needed trip to the coast, but needed to find a reliable and trustworthy person to tend to our flock of chickens. From the time I first contacted Karen to returning our housekey, she was responsive and thorough. She even hauled in two giant boxes I hadn't been expecting until we returned. I happily and enthusiastically recommend Karen for your petsitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Karen!

Over a period of several years I used Walkies and the experience was very positive. Even when i had a crazy, out-of-control hunting dog, she was well taken care of by Karen and loved seeing her pull up with her own dog. The two became besties. Karen has an innate sense of what works and doesn't work and always has the best interest of your furbaby at heart. Call her.

Walkies is the best. Karen's been covering our cats for trips and vacations for over five years and just having her on speed dial makes us feel like more responsible pet owners. She's a fount of wisdom as well. Full marks.

Walkies! took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She also gave us valuable advice on training ideas to help manage some poor behaviors in our adopted adult Shepherd. She is clearly an expert in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone. She is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and a real animal lover!

I moved from out of state and was really hoping to find a great place to bring my dog for boarding and daycare that he would fit into. He LOVES it at Carolyn’s. With a not super social but really high energy dog, Carolyn’s is the perfect place for him and I always trust he will be taken care of and come home calm and tired. What you get for the price is definitely worth it. They have plenty of staff and care for all the pups and make sure they all are grouped together so they get along. Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care. They post updates during the day which is a cute way to check in on your pup. Everything from our first meet and greet day to extended boarding, I know my dog will be taken care of and enjoy his time. Highly recommend this place.

BEST DOGGY DAYCARE IN TOWN! The space is great and the staff is super friendly. My pup gets very excited every time we drop him off, and fulfilled and exhausted by the time we get home. This truly is an outstanding place for your dog(s) to socialize and get their needed exercise.

We found Carolyn’s K9 Retreat earlier this summer when looking for a doggy daycare and boarding for our sweet six month old Aussiedoodle, Gus. They were very responsive to set up a plan to help Gus get accommodated so we could board him for our vacation in a month. All the staff members are so kind and loving to all the pups! Our Gus had some separation anxiety issues during his first doggy daycare stays and his first overnight stay. The staff was very patience with Gus and able to help him calm down and become habituated to the new environment! Gus was able to have a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s while we were able to enjoy a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. I would totally recommend Carolyn’s K9 Retreat for doggy daycare and boarding, especially for dogs who are not fully kennel trained!

This is like Disneyland for dogs! My dog loves this place and feels right at home here! She gets super excited when we arrive. The staff are phenomenal and very attentive. My dog is a smaller dog too and gets shy but the staff has helped her feel comfortable and welcome. She has made great doggy friends and loves staying here for the day or overnight. Your pet is in good hands when going to the Carolyn’s K9 retreat!

Carolyn’s is our pup, Dory’s favorite place!!! She gets to play all day with her friends and everyone is incredible with the dogs!! Such a clean environment as well. Their spaw treatments always leave her smelling and looking her best! We cannot recommend them enough. We are so appreciative of Carolyn’s K9 Retreat!! 🩷 …

I LOVE this place. My pup is 1 month into classes & he LOVES it! I can hardly home him back when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's tuckered out from playing & learning. Bringing him here has helped my pup in solicitation & gives him lots of time to play with other dogs. Best part is seeing the daily pics posted on FB throughout the day while my pup is there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My dog isn’t the easiest- Lola jumps all the fences, has separation anxiety and is on medication. I’ve never been able to leave her anywhere! Until Carolyn and her team!!!! Carolyn and her husband own this amazing sanctuary for our dogs! All of the employees are exceptionally caring and attentive. I now feel so comforted that we have found a place to care for our baby!!! They keep me updated as to how she is doing when I am out of town and my heart is happy knowing she is happy there.

Carolyn’s K9 Retreat is doggy Disneyland for our dog! He gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot and doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up! They send pictures and texts and treat him like family! I cannot recommend this place more! Simply one of a kind and THE BEST! Gunner will be going here forever! All their staff treat him like their own. Love this place!!

We are so happy we’ve chosen Carolyn’s K9 Retreat as our local daycare/boarding spot. We appreciate that they require a meet & greet and a full day of daycare prior to boarding to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. We also love that they’re a no-kennel facility so our boy can lounge on a couch as he would at home. We trust their staff & know Wally is in caring, capable hands when he’s under their care!

Be sure you leave your pup(s) smiling instead of sticking their tongue out at you! Reach out to Carolyn’s K9 retreat for all the daycare, grooming, and boarding needs of your dog. We sure are glad we have!

Luca has been joining Andy and his gang on adventures for a few months now. Luca is always so excited to see him! Andy is very communicative, trustworthy and patience.

Andy has been great with our dogs. They look forward to their day with him. One of them did not like other dogs, but since she has been to Andy's she is greatly improved and we don't worry about her nipping at them. He has been a great addition to their lives.

Andy was our dog walker while in Seattle for over a year. Our dog is very selective with who she opens up to and Andy was able to connect with her and become one of her favorite people. He is still who we use for overnight stays when we go out of town. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for someone to responsibly look after their pup.

For my senior chihuahua, Little Paws is the only place I trust! Julie is amazing, and her kennel is always super clean, never smells of cleaning chemicals or animal excrement. I don't know how she does it, but she is amazing. My 17.5 yo chi has been going to her since I first got him as a baby. She gives me peace of mind that he'll not only be ok, but he's well cared for. This is the best kennel for small animals, hands down!!

They came with different booking options. You can pay for extra treats and updated with pictures or videos, my dogs an Irish wolfhound and she got to play with other big dogs I. The big dog area, she looked happy in her updates and was surprisingly nice price for 4 days

I love this business. I have known the owner for many years and continually go to her for advice often. She is very knowledgeable and conscientious. She knows dogs! She would not put a dog in danger. Some dogs get along and others don’t. Julie knows how to evaluate this. I trust her fully. She gives them attention and proper exercise. Basically, I am confident in her ability and determination to do the best for each dog.

Our fur baby was very well cared for while we were on a long trip!! Definitely recommend if you have a small pup that needs boarding - wonderful owner and facility.

Our dogs love coming here. Of course, they also are glad to see us when we pick them up. Julie and her team take great care of them. If you have a small dog and are looking for a kennel I strongly recommend Little Paws.

I boarded my dog this past week for 5 days at Little Paws. Come to find when I picked her up that they don’t allow the dogs to socialize! In all the years I have boarded my dogs at various places, I’ve never heard of such a thing. My poor Zoe, how isolating and cruel! They are pack animals. Such a tease for her to see the other dogs and not be allowed to play.

I love being able to trust Mysweetdarling with Little Paws. When I drop him off, he is completely safe. I never worry about him getting lost, or running in the street. Little Paws feeds him exactly the food I bring (he has a delicate stomach). I will only bring my Bob to Little Paws, which is almost an hour from my house. Kelley Loveland

Best boarding facility ever. Competent, knowledgeable owner. The facility is perfect for small breed dogs. Julie provides a clean, safe, environment for your best friends. You won't be disappointed.

I took my two toy poodles here for a two-week stay. They were happy to see me but looked well taken care of. I like the atmosphere and the friendliness.

The hours of operation are really inconvenient and their communications are often unfriendly. We have tried to board our dog here multiple times but they are often closed or unavailable.

We absolutely love Emily’s Wood Pack for our two dogs. Our dogs needed some socializing after the pandemic and they were nervous, but they made sure to communicate what days had calmer dogs, and always update with pictures. I would say they are even more affordable with boarding than other locations in the area considering how much love, attention, and space they are given. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. You can tell all the employees love the pets. Honestly amazing!

We are so happy with the care our puppy gets at Emily’s Woof Pack! It’s affordable, high-quality dog care that our pup absolutely loves. He always comes home happily exhausted after his visits, and now he even cries with excitement whenever we drive by the Walgreens nearby. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly, and I love how dog-centric the check-in and check-out process is—it makes everything easy and stress-free. Plus, the location is super convenient for anyone near JBLM, Lakewood, or Steilacoom. Highly recommend Emily’s Woof Pack for your furry family members!

Emily has always been professional, prompt and friendly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and supportive of her pet sitting community, providing resources and referrals if she isn’t available or the right fit for your pet. She gives her heart to each dog in her care and will love them like her own while they’re in her home. She is the ONLY person we trust to care for our cats, in our home, when we travel. She sends video updates and pictures so you know your babies are happy. Bring your dogs to Emily, you won’t regret it! Oct 2021: Editing to add that we now have a very shy doodle boy who was exceptionally well cared for during his daycare visit. Emily went above and beyond answering all of my nervous dog mom questions before booking. Upon arrival, Alex and Sierra were patient with Sunny while he got accustomed and they sent several photo pupdates throughout the day. Best of all, Sunny is less nervous with new dogs and people after his ONE day running with the pack. Seriously, bring your dog to Emily’s Woof Pack.

Our Doggo loves her time at Emily’s! She made it super easy to find a day that we could come out and do a trial for a new daycare. Our dog had a great time! And Emily sent us an update on her first day to let us know she’s doing ok. Love that they have outdoor space for the doggos. Will definitely be back!

Emily has been amazing with our fur baby, Diesel. She has sat for him dozens of times over the last few years and he always comes home happy. She is great with text updates when we are out of town. We trust her with the most important thing in our lives. I cannot say enough about how much she cares about dogs and their well being. She is the best!!! Diesel loves his aunt Emily! Thanks so much...

Emily Wolf Pack has been the best decision we ever made for our dog. Our dog went to day care once a week for a few months and he was the happiest. He was always excited they day he was picked up and came home happy and tired. We never had any trouble with the team working there or with our dog while he was taken care. They are very attentive, Professional, flexible and have great communication. I will for sure recommend this place!!

You will not find a better Doggy Day Care experience than EWP. The Pack Leaders engage with the pups continuously during the day and my two come home happy and tired. This team cares about each dog individually - they are a joy to leave my fur kids with.

I am so greatful for my coworker and fellow nurse telling me about Emily's. She brings her Pups and Cat here and she could not have been more spot on for a great daycare for my Archie. He will be 5 this year and we have had our share of not good experiences at 2 other places and then we found Emily's. Professoinal, carring, kind, just the best people. You will have no worries. Just wonderful. Right acroos the street from Key Bank on Steilacoom.

I would definitely recommend Emily's Woof Pack to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding for their pups! We adopted our dog about a year-and-a-half ago and he was quite the handful. He didn't do well at a large daycare facility, and I was nervous to try again and leave him with anybody. Emily was willing to work with him and now he loves going over to her house! I love that she does overnight trials and a thorough screening process to make sure all of the dogs will get along before their first day of daycare. 10/10 would recommend 🥰🐾

Emily is a wonderful pet sitter (and human being!) and I trust her to the moon and back to give my pup excellent care. We had a lovely conversation before giving my dog a trial run at her house to figure out if my rescue dog's personality would fit in with the other dogs in the Pack. With my initial concerns about my dog's nervous and anxious behavior put to rest, I was able to leave her with Emily for 24 hours to test the waters. Emily sent photos and gave updates and determined that my dog was ready for a longer stay. Now, I'll leave my dog for her "vacation" with Emily this Christmas while I travel to visit family. <3 Emily came on high recommendation from my rescue, and I'm so glad I heard about her!

I brought my dog here for a herding evaluation and it was a lot of fun! I’m glad I didn’t let the bad reviews deter me on trying out this place. Not sure what’s up with the reviews, but we had a great experience! The instructor Ashlee was nice, very knowledgeable and open to answer any questions I had. She also explained the whole process during the evaluation. My dog loved it and was exhausted afterwards - she got a good sleep during our drive home. Since she passed, I plan on taking her back for herding lessons. I read lots of reviews regarding barking, and if the dog is herding/ working barking is totally fine. I’m assuming that what is not fine is if a dog is barking at everything and everyone while making their way in, which makes sense to me. If you have a dog who is reactive towards other people, dogs and farm animals, this might not be the place for your dog and that’s okay. No need to leave bad review without giving full context. Again, I’m glad I went to this place! Parking is easy. I was sent directions on how to sign in and I was a bit confused, but I asked one of the employees and was able to sign in. I can’t speak for the boarding experience, but for the time I was there for the herding evaluation, me and my dog enjoyed the place. It was really awesome seeing all the border collies and sheep working. Can’t wait to be back!

My experience at Fido's Farm was one of the greatest days of my (and my border collie's) life, hands down. I took my guy in for a herding assessment and worked with Ashlee, who is a dog-whispering angel. She was patient, gentle, and kind, and fully explained everything about sheep herding and border collies as she walked my dog through the steps of herding. I'm passionate about my dog, and of course I had a ton of questions and she graciously answered each and every one without complaint. My dog is 5 years old and it had always been a dream of mine to see if he had the herding instinct, but I had delayed due to the pandemic, etc. After about ten minutes of ignoring the sheep, Ashlee was able to help him "turn on" and from then on out he wouldn't stop running laps around the sheep trying to herd them. It was the COOLEST thing I've ever seen in my entire life. My dog and I have been through a lot over the years, and to see him exercise his deepest instincts for the first time is a moment I will never forget. Like I said, this was one of the best days of my whole life! All thanks to Ashlee. She was warm, friendly, and such a gem. I would recommend Fido's Farm to ALL my herding dog friends.

A working sheep farm with well tended animals and a primary focus on providing dog owners enjoyable pursuits and boundless learning opportunities for them and their pets. Curated lessons, clinics and competitions are provided on a regular basis with an emphasis on fun and fellowship. Great owner. This place is a treasure for the surrounding area and people come for the quality from far and wide.

I contacted Fido’s Farm after hearing positive comments about their ability to work with high energy herding breeds. I have a very sweet natured 3 yo Border Collie and I needed to find boarding for about a week in November. I was informed the dog needed to complete a Temperament Test over 5-6 hours and would cost $35.00. When I arrived, the staff person “E” came to review the shot record, then took our dog back to start the test. While driving home, I was called and told my dog did not pass the test. He had only been there about 30 minutes. I returned to pick up my dog. E told me that my dog vocalized to much and was scratching the kennel so hard he was going to hurt his feet. Our dog is a young Border Collie, he was in an unfamiliar place, and he, like most dogs, uses his voice when he feels threatened. I was basically told they couldn’t board him and E told me to find a place where he do herding or do agility. I was asked to pay full amount even though my dog was only there for less than 30 minutes. I would not recommend boarding your dog at Fido’s. The staff member didn’t seem to care or even take time to know our dog, who has a very sweet nature.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS WITH THESE PEOPLE!! Wouldn’t trust these people with a pet rock, let alone a living animal you care about. We have used Fido’s twice now and both times our dog has come back with issues. The first time our dog had bug bites and scabs all over his body. The second time he came back with an ear infection in both ears. Neither time the staff mentioned anything about issues and stated our dog was doing great, which leads me to believe they are very inattentive. Additionally, they said our dog peed his bed, which means they must of left him locked up a long time since he can easily go overnight to 10 hours without going to the bathroom while at home. Furthermore, we paid for extra 1 on 1 time and came to find out after picking him up that they just let him out to play with other dogs more often and didn’t give him any extra human interaction.

**UPDATE** My dog and I were so excited I could finally get her to Fidos farm for daycare. She needed to go out for an interview, never happened before, they called after an hour and asked me to come and pick her up because she was too shy with the other dogs. I knew she was getting a little dog shy because we had been locked up during the pandemic, this is why I wanted to her to go there. I know for a fact this would have never happened at the old Fido's farm, so I don't know what's going on there now. I can say that I am very disappointed about the daycare, I am also disappointed because now I need to find a new place to board her because if it's not safe for her to be there for daycare she certainly is not safe for boarding. I know that a lot of good stuff happens at Fido's, but I am disappointed. Now I have to go find another safe place for my dog, thank you Been going to Fido's for 20 years, it's always my first choice. You won't find better people.

Not a big fan. The staff did not make eye contact with me or really make me feel welcome or even address my presence. My dog didn’t like the place. It seems kind of dirty. Just a few hours and my dog smelled like really bad, I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to go. Not bad people. Just didn’t feel right.

Fidos farm has been a saving Grace for our dogs, great for socializing and learning pack manners as well as a caring staff and a great place for your dog to spend the day

We have regularly been taking our dog to Fido's for daycare and boarding for over a year and a half now, and we could not be more pleased! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I can trust that they will treat my dog with care and respect. My dog's social skills, confidence and responsiveness to requests for good behavior have continually improved since going there! She is becoming her very best doggie-self! She comes home happy, thoroughly played out and clearly totally loves it there! We could not imagine a better place for her. Many thanks to all of you at Fido's Farm!

Like others have shared, after several years of using Fido's Farm to board, our dog was suddenly banned over an alleged barking issue. There were no warnings or suggestions previously given. Do they have the right to refuse any dog? Sure. However, I would argue owners also have the right to know ahead of time regarding any potential issues that would lead to their dog's expulsion.

Super knowledgeable and helpful training. Best puppy help, my full recommendation. Sara, at Lead Me On, helped us so much with learning how to communicate and train our husky pups. We often now receive compliments on how well they behave for their young age.

I did lots of research before settling on Lead Me On for Board and Train for both of our Aussies! The facility is a bit out in the country but worth every minute of the drive. It is spacious and well laid out for board and train. We have been so impressed by the staff. They genuinely care for our dogs and you can see it in the end result. The dogs are trained through reward based behaviors and NOT e collars. We highly recommend Lead Me On!

The only place we trust to help us care for our dogs when we need to board. The staff is very knowledgeable, well trained, and caring towards our pups. We have also done group and one on one training through the classes they offer, have seen positive results and learned good techniques for anxious dogs.

Our four month old doberman,Trip, loves going to training everyday! This is his second week and the change is amazing. We have a long way to go but the trailers at Lead me on are fabulous!! We're only going to get better!! This is an awesome place and I highly recommend them!

Rae and the team are great! They are teaching me how to understand what is happening with my rescue husky's chemistry when he is triggered and how to de-escalate him. Which is good for mom, but more importantly for him with less anxiety. It is a lot of work on everyone's part and doesn't change overnight, but it is getting better and I am so thankful! I have learned so much. I was so desperate to get help and help my baby. And now we are also working with my rescue husky puppy. Rae is wonderful. She truly does love my babies. And everyone is so good to and with them. Just a fantastic place and I am so happy I found them. Photo is my huskies on an enrichment session while being boarded there that they sent me!

Our dog went in for the 5 week boot camp. Their trainers were impressive and professional. This is a positive training place which I really appreciated. It’s our go to place for doggie day care and kenneling. This was one of the best finds for our family and pup. Wonderful facility and well kept. Dog training went very well for our dog. She made us proud and continues to make us proud ever since training.

Great place who teaches with positivity. I have taken different classes and have also taken a private lesson! It helped me to understand the why behind my dog's behavior and how to teach him to make better choices! Easy to schedule via an app once you have taken the introduction course. Rae is phenomenal, and Rook is always excited to see her!

Our puppy girl was enrolled in doggie training here and she did great. The trainers are so patient and sweet, she learned a lot. She still goes back for boarding and loves it😁 …

Our dog had the best boarding experience here. Thank you!

Amazing experience! We did a 2 week bootcamp with our 5 month Australian shepherd. The trainers are very knowledgeable on positive techniques. Each staff member was genuinely loving and thoughtful. We're so happy with the results for our dog as well the confidence we've gained. We look forward to additional training as needed.

The BEST boarding and spa in the area. Our Poppy can be a bit sensitive and have GI issues with boarding, but we finally got into here and she had no problems. On top of that she seems so happy and we love how the groomers made her look cuter than usual. The employees were so nice and attentive, even as I observed with other dogs, they truly love pets. The daily reports and pictures were so important when it came to my own nerves. I can't imagine a better place to board or groom our precious Poppy.

I don't trust anyone else with my boy Grizzly. The staff at friendly grove goes above and beyond to care for their clients. love your pup, have a trip planned? trust no one else. Friendly, kind, and extremely caring groomers and vet professionals

I have been taking Cash here for over 6 years! The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Maddy, Connor, and Devin are amazing! I would highly recommend Friendly Grove for all your dogs needs!

Friendly Grove did a great job taking care of our cat for a few days before he traveled abroad to meet up with us in Europe. They work closely with Across the Pond pet shipping so they know all the procedures and paperwork required. Friendly Grove has a wonderfully tranquil facility and I'm sure they will care for your pet just as well as they did ours.

I have been coming here for years and I love the customer service and fun monthly theme parties. This includes a variety of theme birthday/moving away parties! In addition to enriched daycare, Friendly Grove offers boarding and grooming. Below is a picture of my dogs in their theme birthday party and their favorite staff Madison.

They are really an awesome facility. The staff is awesome and does excellent grooming on my dogs. The facility is huge and has the ability to groom and board and the grounds are huge and beautiful! Highly recommend them.

Our canine friend enjoys his time at Friendly Grove. We sure do enjoy the beautiful environment he gets to participate in all day. Over the past year, they've really taken care to ease this puppy into the lifetime of grooming needs he'll face as a Groodle. Lots of breaks, playtime, going potty, and staying hydrated. They've trained him for their own practices and procedures. They will give him the food I provide for his lunch. They take the time to go over the cut before hand, at the drop off. They are very busy, very well scheduled, and managed quite well. Their price is a fair trade for services rendered under the conditions he enjoys. They commit the time to our hairy friend, and he's always happy to see them. That speaks volumes to his excellent treatment while attending day spa therapy. ;)

I've been going to Friendly Grove Resort for Dogs for the past 18 years. They, the owners, and staff are tremendous, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and caring. They have taken great care of my fur-babies for all these years.

Fabulous care and grooming for our beautiful golden retriever! Best place ever

We have used Friendly Grove for our dog for the past four years. They have done an exceptional job taking care of Bo. They take great care of her. They contacted us once to let us know she had some stomach issues (most likely something she ate prior to dropping her off) discussed care options and provided treatment. Then they followed up to let us know she was fine so we wouldn't worry during our vacation. Bo enjoys going there and playing with her friends. We are able to enjoy our trips knowing she is being taken good care of.

Our first experience with Nelly's Ark was fabulous. I have two, very bonded lab/gsp pups, littermates 9 years old. Much to my surprise they did very well and we're very happy. I was also thrilled with the results. Of course they did not need clipping but they needed good baths to get a lot of hair out and they needed a good nail clipping as well. This is not something that they do willingly at home. One person they're even exclaimed how happy my boy was when she met him in the bath! I would have bet a lot of money that he would have had his tail between his legs and been shaking during his bath but no, he was greeting everybody with a smile and a tail wag. How could I give this place anything less than five stars!!

Going with a good middle ground 3 star review as I haven't had my pet actually stay here but I took a tour that left a bad taste in my mouth. There is only someone there about 3 times a day according to our tour guide plus kennels are wire walls, this makes me incredibly anxious for reactive or aggressive dogs who they say they will take anyways. No walks are given, just a short yard time. The facility seems run down and has an overpowering chemical smell. Just be cautious please. I went in to take a look before I scheduled to have my dogs there and this place only set me on edge, there's no way I'd feel comfortable leaving them there.

Our dog Honey Bear is a Chihuahua that hates people and will not trust anyone except her own pack, her family of humans. We worry about leaving her anywhere but this time we had no choice. She has a hard character as she will trust no one, but thankfully she was warm and safe and cared for for 5 days and 4 nights last Thanksgiving weekend. She was happy to see us and recovered quickly from her melancholy of missing us. We were thankful she was well cared for in spite of her being a little difficult with strangers as she always is. I've had other places turn us down because they couldn't handle her, but at Nelly's Ark they took good care of her and we are very thankful.

Adora Dee has been going to Nelly's for approximately 6 years and she loves her groomer Kelly, if she is happy I am too. Thank you Nelly's Ark 🙂🥰 …

Our dogs LOVE coming here! The staff is amazing, communicative, and truly love the pets that stay here. ❤️

Our family had a Great Wolf lodge trip planned. We decided to board our 20-month-old, intact male GSD. My wife searched kennels in the surrounding area. Nelly's Ark came up as the best. There is a reason. First off, the facility is clean. You can tell they take pride in its appearance. Second, the staff is top-notch. They were professional, friendly, and respectful. The extra special care they provided for my boy Dutch, was immensely appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone looking to board their pup. Thanks Nelly's. 10/10

I can't say enough good things about Nelly's! They truly care about our dogs and go the extra mile to be sure they're comfortable - whether that's during their grooming session or a few day boarding stay. I feel good dropping my dogs off here, I know they're meticulously cared for. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful business.

My dog went in looking like a used mop! She has long hair and was a mess! She came out looking like a young puppy! Totally beautiful! The staff were kind and friendly.

Have taken our dog Lady there for boarding twice and will again for future trips. She's been well cared for while we were gone for a week both times. Staff is friendly and loving, you can tell they care. Boarding fees are reasonable as well.

Nelly's has been an institution to the locals for pet grooming and boarding for many years. We have used the grooming facility for nail trims a couple times as our prior groomer retired. The price is a little more expensive than other groomers we have used, as we paid $12 cash per each dog. The location is off of a busy highway and right next to a home, so it can be Abita confusing if you are coming from the freeway. Thankfully, they have a couple spots you can pull in that lead to the grooming area. The waiting are is very small and not set up to wait inside for appointments so if you are early for an appointment, keep that in mind. The technician seemed qualified in not only our dogs breed but were educated in the type of nails our dogs have in order to make it as good of an experience for our dogs as possible. One thing of note, they do have office pets wandering around the office, so if you have an uneasy pet around other pets, you may want to go into the office without your pet first to notify the front staff. The front desk have always been courteous and quick to serve any customers that have come in while I was there.
