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!
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters
Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
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
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.
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!!
Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.

Jennifer is an absolute gem! She has been taking care of our cat for almost 4 years on every holiday and vacation as we travel quite a bit. She has a wonderful touch with animals (not only with our cat, we have seen her with dogs too), you can tell that she truly loves being around them. We know she will take care of our cat as well as we would. Our siberian kitty loves her, it almost makes me jealous :-) We receive pics and videos of our cat while on vacation and we get a kick of Jennifer's descriptions of the cat's shenanigans. When we are back we find her beautifully groomed, with nails clipped and looking very happy. We have complete confidence in Jennifer and are so very glad and thankful we found her.
I love Jennifer, and more importantly our Kitty Scooter loves her too! Jennifer is very reliable, she returns calls and text messages in a timely manner, and has gone above and beyond what you would expect from a pet sitter. She brings in mail, and has gone to the pet store for me when I didn't have time to before leaving town. We have used Jennifer's services for years now, and we so appreciate her being available when we need her to feed and love our Scooter Kitty!
Jennifer is amazing! She has been watching my 2 Rottweilers for almost 4 years, since they were puppies. She has such a wonderful way with animals,,they just love her and are super happy to see her. She is a true pack leader, training them to be the best leash walkers! They never pull anymore,walking right beside me. When I travel she stays here and when I come home the house is cleaner than when I left it and the dogs are freshly groomed and smell great! She sends nightly texts and pictures and I never worry about them. She's a gem!
Jennifer is a gem. She has cared for our almost 3 year Aussie for the last 2 1/2 years. She has stayed at our house, exercised a very active dog, and given him such loving attention. Tux always loves seeing her and going with her. I haves called Jennifer several times at the last minute, and she has always helped me out. She has come to our home early in the morning, and stayed late at night, based on our flights times. Jennifer is the best of the best.
Jennifer is the only person that I would have stay with my cat when I travel. She truly is an animal person. I never worry a bit while I'm away. I get daily pictures or videos. You can tell that this is not just a job for her but a passion. My cat comes running in when she hears her voice. I never get the "cold shoulder" from my cat when I get back home. She thinks her good friend has been staying with her. When I come home my cat is always clean, nails trimmed and my house is always cleaned up. It's nice not to worry about your precious ones while you travel.
I've used Jennifer as the go to for my two Dogs for about the last 10 yrs and have recommended her to many of my friends and others for their pets. I don't think there is another quite like her as many people have got into this business just for the money and not for the love of animals. First and foremost she has a true love for all animals and they really take to her. You will not have to worry as she will send you nightly videos or pic's whatever you want. Every time I return from my trip my Dogs are freshly washed and brushed and the house looks better than when I left it and no poop in the backyard. I've heard nightmarish stories from friends and colleagues who have had their dogs in the care of pet sitters only to come home and find their dogs looking very disheveled and the house tore up. Again, she is a true animal lover and the very best at what she does!
Jennifer has been taking care of my beloved Shih Tzu for nearly five years. My little dog means the world to me and I would not trust anyone besides Jennifer to walk and care for her while I am away. Jennifer also walks my mom's dog. Gemma (Shih Tzu) and Bingo (Bichon Mix) adore her. She understands animals and their unique personalities. Gemma and Bingo are both handfuls and Jennifer is so patient with them. I highly recommend her services to loving pet owners. She will treat your animal like family.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer recently and couldn't be happier with her level of service. Whenever she needs to check-in on my 17 year old Devon Rex, I'm completely confident that he's in good hands and is being well taken care of. Jennifer is not only a devout animal lover but also a total professional. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.
Jennifer is the best pet sitter ever! Kind, loving, dependable, responsible - she goes above and beyond for each animal, treating them like her own. I wouldn't leave my dog with anyone else, and I can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that she is with Jennifer.
Jennifer has been taking care of my cats for 10 years and I have full trust in her abilities as a pet caregiver. My cats adore her and she gives them so much love and care that I need never worry about their well being. It's true that she takes care of your animals like you would!!! AG Ehrenberg
Our dog Apollo received great training. He loves his trainer, Mark, & the rest of the staff! We've taken him back for several of the Saturday morning classes & have boarded him twice when we had to travel. He is very excited and happy every time we come back.
Snug Pet Resort And Animal Hospital is amazing! I have been bringing my four year-old border collie mix there since he was a puppy. I have seen hundreds of dogs go in and out and the staff treats the dogs and their owners with the utmost respect and professionalism. They all truly love what they do and it consistently shows. My dog also went through their eight week Boot Camp and has turned out to be the best well-trained dog I have ever seen. He also has been going to daycare regularly and is treated with love and caring consistently. The staff is wonderful and highly experienced. I have been to a lot of doggy daycare centers over the years and Snug Pet resort tops them all!
My Buster went through the boot camp, one on one training sessions, and group training sessions. Before all of this, he was so loud and obnoxious. He was embarrassing to take in public. He is such a different boy now! He is a good boy!!! He is ignoring distractions, looking at me for guidance, and not embarrassing to take in public anymore! Alyx is a phenomenal trainer. Buster loves her so much and gets so excited to see her at the group sessions. THANK YOU, Alyx and SNUG!!!
We did the 10 day board and train for our fear aggressive/reactive dog and it went great! Our trainer Brian Lee is clearly an experienced trainer with aggressive dogs of his own. It was a relief knowing our dog was being well cared for and trained by a professional. Brian was able to answer all our questions, give us specific and useful tips moving forward and honestly he’s just a cool dude. With Brian’s help our dog is behaving much better (no pulling on walks, obedient, not reactionary). It’s a work in progress of course but it’s good to know Brian has our back and will be available for follow ups.
My boy Jax and I absolutely LOVE Snug! We have never experienced anything but great service and care from the entire team. Barb cares for my boy as if he is one of her own. We would not trust anyone else! Snug and team deserve 6 stars!
We have taken our dog, Moose, there from the second we got her. Not just for Daycare but for Training as well. My wife and I could not be more appreciative of the amazing staff, the best experiences for our furry family member, and the consistent amazing service we receive every week we are there. Feeling like your pet is safe and the staff has the experience and ability to handle her around other dogs is one of the best feelings and they feel like an extension of our family. If we could record how excited Moose gets to go to Snug, I would post it. Snug is Moose’s home away from home and it has been since day one.
We sent our rottweiler for the board and train for 4 weeks. He is not the most socialized rescue so we were concerned how it would go with so many new people. Luckily our fears were unfounded! He made a ton of new friends with the great staff there, trainers and vets alike. We are very happy with his progress and have learned a lot on how to better help him. Aaron is a fantastic trainer! It's so great to see our boy trust another human and expand his world. The facility is nice and I love that they have an on-site vet in case of any emergency. We are even planning to bring our other dog for board and train so that they're both on the same page. Highly recommend, especially if you're struggling with a dog that can be labeled aggressive or fearful.
Mark the trainer is the best knees!!! He is ALWAYS so helpful, understanding, and patient. Our senior boxer did a 3 week board and train and came home to us as a whole new dog. Mark helped him learn obedience and showed him how to make the right decisions. This training has without a doubt increased our dogs quality of life and our enjoyment with him. Barb, at the front desk, is the cats pajamas! Even though she is clearly very busy she is always quick, efficient, and kind. She helps the other staff, has excellent working knowledge of her job and the resort, and has always been a pleasure to encounter.
We sent our dog, Spencer, for the 3 week boot camp. From the beginning we received constant updates and pictures. Then when we picked him up, our jaws dropped at his newfound skills and behavior. Next up was our training so that we could reinforce all the progress at home. His trainer, Dominique, has been amazing, patient and helpful through the whole process and Spencer adores her. If we add any other dogs to our family, they will definitely be trained by Snug.
Snug is outstanding. AARON is the best dog trainer ever. I was very anxious about leaving my dog with anyone for such a long period. But I am extremely excited about the results. Everyone at Snug loves dogs and it shows. My little guy is a very happy obedient dog. Aaron went WAY above and beyond my expectations. So much so that I decided to bring Max back for the masters class to become a service dog. He always answered all my questions and kept in touch with me with regular updates and photos. Aaron anticipated my needs before I even conveyed them. He really knows what he is doing and I trust him completely to take good care of my boy. Max loves him too!! He works with Alicia who also put a lot of time and effort into training Max. I want to thank her for training my dog and treating her like her own. Also, I can’t do this review without mentioning Barb at the front desk is also amazing. She did all the paperwork and admin stuff I’m the kind of person who needs to know everything about everything. I’m sure I was a pain in the a** for them. I email and call a lot. But they never ever made me feel like I was. They answered my call, texts and emails with a pleasant friendly tone and a smile. I’m so glad that I found this place. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are considering a board and train program that you call these guys and setup a site visit. You’ll see what I saw. This really is a resort for dogs. Remember, you get what you pay for. This is your dog. The cost is well worth the investment you are making in your dog. Don’t skimp when it comes to your fur baby. As long as you reinforce the concepts and commands with your pet, this training will last a lifetime. You have to do your part as well. I would not take my dog anywhere else. These guys are definitely 5 stars across the board. Forget about Petco or Petsmart. If you want experts training and caring for your animal—take them to Snug.
