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.

We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Robert & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
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.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Kristen
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!
Dominique
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
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!
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.
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

We have tried several places to board our Nina & Bella. The places were all cages for the dogs & our dogs are not use to being caged. They love interacting with people & other animals. We then found Barks Town Country, Chris & Brooke are the nicest people! We knew from our first time meeting them they love animals. Our dogs loved going to their home where they got the same care there like home. Our Bella has a medical issue & when she gets nervous there is always a change in her bowel movement. Going to Barks Town Country there is no change in Bella 🥰. Both Nina & Bella come home exhausted from playing so much. We are so grateful that we found them & we highly recommend them.
If you have been worrying about finding a safe and comfortable place to leave your dog overnight, you can breathe a sigh of relief. These are your people. I had been dreading the day when I would have to board our 2 year old dog. She is used to being with family, is a sweet pup, can be a little nervous and is a bit spoiled... I just didn’t see her faring well in a traditional kennel. I found Brooke and Chris Rivera’s BarksTown site and thought it would be too good to be true... However, I’m pleased to tell you that they are amazing. They took our dog into their home and gave her what seemed like a little “vacation” of her own! Our dog got first class treatment that included walks, lots of play time, snuggles, daily brushing, lounging around a super cute home and best of all, she made new friends with the Rivera’s over-the-top cute dog, Marshmallow. I received pictures and daily updates on our dog that included details about how she was adjusting and overall reassurances that she was having a great time! When we got home and reunited with our furry family member, she was relaxed and just happy to see us again. She was bright eyed, rested and even smelled good! Give these folks a call if you need a place for your dog to stay. You (and your beloved pet) won’t be disappointed! Thank you, BarksTown!! 🐾🐶
We boarded our dogs with BarksTown Country this past weekend and I couldn’t have been happier! We have two Rhodesian ridgebacks who can be a little hard to handle, and on top of that, they're my babies so I am VERY overprotective of them and am extremely picky about who watches them. I’ve been looking for an in home boarding service for awhile now and am SO happy I found Barkstown Country. We've boarded our dogs at traditional kennels in the past and I just never felt comfortable leaving them there - one of my dogs would start shaking in fear the second we showed up at the kennel. But when we showed up at Chris and Brooke's, both dogs settled in instantly and felt right at home! We brought them out back to check out the fenced in play area and instantly they started playing!! This is when I knew we had come to the right place! When the dogs are inside they're not kept in a kennel, and can comfortably sleep on the couch or bed (which is exactly what they do when they’re home). Chris sent me pictures and updates throughout the weekend which gave me a peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of! I’d highly recommend BarksTown country! We’ll definitely be using them again!
If you’re looking for a dog walker - then I 110% recommend Barkstown Country. We were having issues with our 6 year old medium sized puppers, Penny. She is housed trained and rarely had any accidents in the house until this passed winter. After a few weeks of consistent accidents we decided she needed someone to get her out of the house in the middle of the day. We reached out to Barkstown and that same day Brooke responded to us to set up a time for her and Chris to come and meet us and Penny and just get an idea of what we were looking for. Right away Penny (and us) loved them! They were so accommodating when it came to my Husband’s and my schedules (which at the time was consistently changing especially with the snow / working from home). After every walk we would get a text from Brooke or Chris saying Penny was good to go and occasionally we’d get an adorable picture of Penny enjoying the outside! We could tell that they just enjoyed taking care of your dog and gave them as much love that we would give our pup. We recently moved out of the area but Chris and Brooke still occasionally check in with us to see how Penny is doing! They’re truly amazing and caring people! Thank you guys for everything!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I have never boarded my 6 year old Yorkie before and when I had a family emergency (my mother fell on Christmas) Chris and Brooke took my fur baby on short notice during the very busy holiday weekend. I was so nervous and stressed out at the thought of putting my spoiled yorkie in a kennel when hes never even been in a crate - thats when I found BarksTown Country which is kennel free at their own home. Chris and Brooke are the most genuine people and it was divine intervention that I found them because I will go back again and again. It was like having a friend watch my dog. They were easy to communicate with, sent me pictures all the time which totally put my mind at ease, and most importantly they treat your dog like one of their own - seriously! My yorkie snuggled with Chris' mom all weekend (they sent me pictures, she was literally holding him while snoozing like a baby in her arms on the couch) and their dog, Marshmallow, was the most friendly (and adorable) host. I think my dog actually came back to me in better spirits than when I dropped him off! Thank you chris, brooke and family.... can't wait to see you again!!!
We've been using BarksTown's services to walk our boxer Monday through Friday for the past year, and have been very happy. They're reliable, responsive, and clearly care about her. We just started using the BarksTown Country boarding services as well and it was such a relief to know our pup was in good hands while we were traveling. They shared pics and video of her throughout the week and their pickup/dropoff service made it incredibly convenient.
Chris has been taking care of my five cats for a year now. He sends photos of my cats when he visits and keeps me updated on how they are doing. Chris is gentle with my cats and they are happy with him. I’m am extremely satisfied with BarksTown Country.
I am so glad I had Chris take care of my senior cat Etta while I was away He was wonderful with her and even sent me a picture to put my mind at ease She was fed and socialized and received her medications from a loving sole I think she misses him Will definitely use his services again
The best ever!! I have a chihuahua. Pinto first stayed in August and I've used them every month since. Every time I call to see if there is availability for Pinto to stay they come through. Pinto absolutely loves staying with them. Wish I found them years ago!
Gentle and loving owners that care about your furbaby

my border collie Oliver loves this place! He comes home completely exhausted and I can tell he enjoys his time here because of he perks up his ears and wags his tail when I say “daycare”. Thank you for taking care of my high energy dog! Highly recommend 10/10
Amazing pet boarding place. My dog always comes home exhausted! I love being able to go on vacation knowing that my dog is happy and safe. I recommend this place to all of my friends ad family! Affordable prices and clean facility.
Absolutely love this place! The employees are friendly and you can tell they love their jobs! They keep it so clean, they post videos daily of what’s going on in both little dog and big dog rooms and it’s great, affordable rates! There was an incident where my pup got hurt. The staff reached out to me immediately and handled it all in a very professional manner. Highly recommend. My pups smile in the picture says it all. She loves it!!
My little girl loves to hear that she going to play with her “LITTLES”. I love that I can drop her off without prior notice. The staff is so great, they handle the dogs wonderful. The dogs are wonderful care Prices are super great too….Having access to watch them is great for worry full fur parents.
Our dog has been playing & vacationing for years at LRD. He loves it, and we love the care he gets! So grateful to have it so close by! 🐶🐾❤️ …
They are so friendly and the periodic pics and videos are awesome. We definitely found our new boarding place. Highly recommend.
My dog was very happy with her stay. She is very little and staff takes extra care of her little needs. She is a little shy too. Nice to know they have sweet , appropriate, animal loving staff. What a relief to not have to worry about my sweet girl while on my trip. Extra ty to Steven who carried her around a lot. 😊 …
Highly recommended! The kennel is clean. The staff is friendly. The dogs are safe. The prices are reasonable. The location is convenient. What's not to like? I've boarded my two dogs here twice. They seem to love it. The owner posts videos of all the dogs every day. It's great. No complaints whatsoever.
Over the weekend, my dog stayed at a care facility and was returned to me with the same amount of food that I had provided. I was impressed with how quickly she devoured her meal and rushed to her food bowl. If you are unable to properly care for a large number of dogs, it may be best to limit the number of dogs you take in.
This place is the absolute best! I never worry about how my dog will be treated because they treat them like they are part of the family. He gets SO excited on days he gets to go play with all his friends :) Friendly staff, clean clean clean!, welcoming atmosphere, great place all around!
