honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
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 was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
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
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
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.
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

Grace has been our Rico’s second Mom. He was always happy and willing to jump into Graces car when she picked him up for his stay. We have been very fortunate to have met and to have become friends with Grace. All pets are treated like family with lots of love and respect. By far, Grace is the dog whisperer of Vancouver Island . ❤️❤️
Great care in a beautiful home like environment. Is like a beautiful summer camp for your dog
Excellent condition and treatment for your beloved pet
Very nice
Just the PERFECT place to leave your dogs or cats during your absence. This place is owned by a fantastic couple passionate about the animals & I couldn’t find a place like this anywhere else. The kennel & cat cottage are clean, animals have all they need. I just highly recommend this place! A paradise for any pets in earth.
Best Friends dog kennel was great! The place was clean, well kept and their small facility means the dogs receive more care. The pens are a normal kennel size and the owner was very friendly and careful with our instructions. The pictures of their site are an accurate representation and everything was well described online. Most importantly, they were honest with us and provided important feedback that our dog did not enjoy being kennelled. It was his first time and we just wanted to try and see how he did. I was impressed with how straightforward the owner was with us and I felt happy knowing that they’re prioritizing the welfare of the pets.
They looked after our dog for 5 days while we were moving and we couldn't have been happier. The owner is very good with dogs and the facilities are large and well maintained. Each dog has their own indoor and outdoor space and in front of the dog cabins is a large play area surrounded by trees. The owner also does a very good job dealing with dogs of different temperament and worked with ours who is a bit more shy when meeting new dogs to integrate him into the group. We will definitely use them again.
The owners are extremely friendly and caring. The facilities are also very clean and we loved the set-up for the dogs. We left our dog feeling very confident he would be well looked after. We came back to the news that he was very anxious from our absence and was unfortunately very vocal. The owner tried to keep him calm by spending extra time with him and even took him along while doing chores. I would highly recommend this kennel for looking after your pet when you are unable.
We have entrusted our pack (3 huskies) to David and Janice for a few years now. The individualized care, close attention to their needs and respect for their unique personalities enables us to travel with great ease of mind. At one time, we had a much-loved elderly female husky with significant requirements and yet we know she was very well cared for while at Best Friend Dog Care (aka "camp"). One thing that is very important to us is that the kennel has someone available overnight -- which surprisingly is not the case with many other kennels. (What would happen in an emergency?!) Also, some kennels encourage "open" play between unfamiliar canine guests (sometimes without supervision). Yet we found that our young male was injured twice in that type of environment. We are very happy with the approach and set up at Best Friend. We have also tried other kennels that have been highly recommended, only to find that well-labelled meals were missed and the special diets for our two boys were mixed up!!! That's not the case at Best Friends - ever!!! To us, our huskies are family members but together we know they can be a challenge. However, we have never had any reservations leaving them at "camp" in David and Janice's exceptional care. Another endorsement comes straight from the dogs themselves who literally can not wait to get out of the car at "camp" and barely glance back at us. When we pick them up, they are happy, well fed and full of happy howls over their adventures at "camp". Highly recommend.
Wonderful place to bring your Pet. I used their service for a week for my dog and i can't confirm what Mia Zimmermann is stating at all. The Kennels indeed have windows and every dog gets it's own bed to sleep in. So no dog has to sleep on concrete. The staff is really careful with the animals and respects the personal needs of every animal. The dogs get way more excercise and one on one time than what you would expect compared to any of their competitors around. My experience was without a doubt excellent.
We take our dog Cedar here when we go on vacation, and she is always excited when we arrive! We rest easy on our trips away knowing that Cedar is getting the BEST care and attention. David gives her lots of one on one attention playing ball in the field. We feel so lucky to have such a great place to take our Cedar girl.
My 2 dogs have been frequent borders at these kennels they are clean and the dogs have every luxury even piped in music. If you like they are teamed up with other dogs at playtime but if they are loners and not very social the people who work there will play ball with them so they get enough exercise. even he beds are very comfy with microfiber blankets. As soon as we pull into the driveway they get so excited they are on holiday too
We went to check this place today with our pup. From the outside, it looks like you're entering a 5-star resort. But very soon you find out, that your dog will be placed in a small concrete, 1 x 2 square meter unit with no lights or window. The room has a back door and I thought that leads the dog to the big fenced park. No. Just another tiny outdoor claustrophobic place. According to the girl who met us, the dogs are let out 4 times a day; 8.00 am for only 10 minutes. 12.00, 4.00, 8.00 for about half an hour. So, out of 24 hours my dog will see the daylight little over one and half hour, unless he is OK to lay down on a concreted narrow area attached to his little place. I looked around' there was more than one fenced yard and these dogs are locked a huge majority of the day in the "jail" Listening to each other bark. We also met the owner; the staff seems to be very friendly. But the set up is the worst I have seen. The way they operate, it is animal abuse.
Awesome place to take your pets for a few days, they take such good care of them !
