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!

Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.

Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!
Laura
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.

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!

M was the cleanest sitter I've ever had! But most importantly, she was so kind to my animals and treated them like her own pet family. She truly loved spending time with them and has an awesome bond with them after staying for a week in my home. She sent me pics and updates daily, which put me at ease while I was away. She's such a delightful and trustworthy person. Much respect for this awesome human! I will always welcome her to stay in my home!

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.
Josepha
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left, mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning! Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!

Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.

The staff at Doggy Den are the best! From the phone call to the evaluation the next day, the service was perfect. These women love what they do, and you can tell that by how they do it. Our dog, Washington, had a blast and came home exhausted. We love the Doggy Den!
Really disappointed by our latest visit to the doggy den. My husband accidentally dropped off the food with our dogs food bowls, and mysteriously they weren’t able to find them. More importantly, our dog returned with a pink eye and had lost 1 to 2 pounds. When asking about their food protocol, I was shared a staff member would have had my husband who did the drop off fill out a form specifying how much food to provide our dog: this did not happen. In trying to call back to share this so that their staff members know to ask the food portions, the staff member wouldn’t answer my call. I would not trust leaving my dog here again. When attempting to share our experience the staff member would not acknowledge that my dog had lost weight in their care. Poor customer service and a $350 bill, but more importantly if they aren’t asking how much to feed your dog, if something were to truly go wrong during your dogs stay, this is not a business I would you want to have to deal with. For anyone coming back to this facility make sure they ask how much to feed your dog.
Following up to the owner’s response to my wife’s post ( Brittany Glant) as google wouldn’t allow me to reply to Ana’s message. We picked up our dog, Fiona, on Wednesday evening, and immediately contacted the owner on the same day, and today (Saturday) to address our concerns. So, contrary to the owner’s claim, we did not wait a week before reaching out. When I first saw Fiona, I didn’t notice any immediate physical changes, but after picking her up today and weighing her, it became clear that she had lost approximately 2 pounds during her stay. As a responsible business owner, it would have been more professional to acknowledge the situation rather than respond defensively and dismissively. I would have appreciated it if you had simply acknowledged that you didn’t ask us how much to feed our dog when we dropped her off, which I understand is part of your process. That alone would have resolved the matter. Additionally, we were never informed that Fiona had a pink eye during her stay until we noticed it ourselves and called to inquire, which you clarified that it was from the shampoo. Thank you for that. As pet owners, we place a great deal of trust in businesses to care for our animals, and it’s reasonable to expect empathy and transparent communication. Instead, we were met with defensiveness and unprofessionalism when we attempted to share our feedback. We reached out multiple times later but our calls were ignored. It’s disheartening to see this is not an isolated incident, as other reviews reflect similar experiences. The way you handle customer concerns speaks volumes about your business, and unfortunately, based on both our experience and others’ feedback, it seems your response to customer concerns often lacks professionalism and empathy. This could have been resolved with a simple acknowledgment of the situation, but instead, it has led to unnecessary frustration. I hope you take this feedback to heart and consider adopting a more customer-focused approach in the future. Wishing you the best moving forward.
I just moved to the area and took my English bulldog Gracie here. Blown away. The staff clearly care about our babies - AND they were taking evacuated dogs from the fires. Very impressed and can’t wait for Gracie to go back and see her friends!
My dogs are very high spirited & the staff at Doggy Den can handle them. Fortunately, They play well with other dogs so boarding works out well for us. We can go on long vacations and know that our dogs are safe and well cared for… Anne did training with them years ago & we were very happy with the results.
Our Australian Cattle Dog rescue has some separation anxiety issues but taking him regularly to day care has been helpful. The staff is so good with him; they patiently (& enthusiastically) answer my “how’d he do today” questions!
My mini golden doodle, Fifi, has been coming here for the past year and she loves it! She is always super excited when she is dropped off. The staff is very professional. Kalina from day one has been so great always greeting Fifi with excitement. I always recommend The Doggy Den to friends!
Great place to board your beloved pup. My corgi never seems excited to leave when I pick him up (doesn’t he miss me?!?!) and he’s always happy to return. Plus he always seems “well fed” when he gets picked up and he’s doted on by the staff. Never had any issues and the entire staff is full of dog lovers who are more than willing to cater to reasonable dog-specific needs.
We can not recommend Doggy Den enough! The staff is very qualified and knowledgeable. Excellent facility for day care, boarding and training. The dogs are well cared for, happy and love coming here. Our first experience boarding our dog here changed my mind about dog boarding and daycare. I am looking forward to bringing our dog for regular daycare as it was such a positive experience for her!
My pup is super high energy and can be a handful at times. I love that every time we've taken him here he is welcomed by a loving staff. And I know he likes the place because he ends up running to the door waiting for it to be opened.
