Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
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.
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!
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!
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
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.
Anna was the perfect sitter for Tali, Mac and Sox. From the first moment we met Anna we all got on extremely well and we had no worries about leaving our pets in her safe hands. Anna gave them loads of fun time and company, lovely walks and snuggles in front of the TV. Thanks for all the fun we had before and after the sit too. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna for any sit.
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

We were visiting Winthrop and brought our two dogs to Sherry so they would have something to do all day while we were out. BEST decision we made. We didn't have to worry about them. We picked them up each evening, and they were so tired and ready for bed. Which was great because after hiking all day, we didn't have to walk them. Sherry and her staff are the sweetest, I would highly recommend them to anyone.
We are extraordinarily grateful for Aspen Kennels after our first experience with them this weekend. We typically use only family to care for our two small-ish dogs (one has a chronic GI illness on a special diet and also is on a daily oral medication), however this weekend was a special circumstance so we were forced to utilize a boarder. We have been so pleasantly surprised with the experience with Aspen Kennels—the staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and clearly cared about the dogs there. They were attentive and answered our questions, and were easy to contact by phone for daily check in calls to ensure our dogs were behaving. The registration, pickup, drop off, and payment processes were easy and fast. Our dogs returned in great condition and the staff appeared to have bonded with them over the weekend. We are so grateful to have them in this community and we will absolutely use them again when boarding is next needed. We will recommend them to anyone looking for this service in the Methow! THANK YOU, Aspen Kennels!
We were on a road trip and had forgotten to find care for our dog while we did a river outing. Aspen Kennels was able to get us in with just a four hour notice, even though they were already full. They were incredibly kind and gracious to help us out with our poor planning. Our dog had a wonderful time there. I would happily recommend this place to locals and travelers alike.
Aspen Kennels is great for the following reasons: 1. Cleanliness: They are by far the cleanest doggy daycare I've ever been to. And I've been to a few. I recall a location where when I picked up my dog, he was covered in piss. That was unacceptable. This place is pristine! 2. Space: The dogs had a lot of room to roam around outside behind a fence. I have a Samoyed, so I really appreciated that my dog had the extra space to run around with the other dogs (there were 2 huskies) and play with. The snow was of course an added bonus for my dog. 3. Sherry!: She was so kind. Although our interactions were brief, I could tell she was a really nice person, and my dog could tell also! I highly recommend Aspen Kennels!
For reference, make sure to make a reservation. I couldn't tell from website if I needed to even for drop off. I called in the morning but due to schedule just went in. They were kind enough to get our pup in for a few hours since we were visiting from out of town. They were very nice and Taffy seemed to have a good time. It was nice to find them because we visit the area once or twice a year and now I have a place I can plan to drop her off while we go do lunch or something.
Sherry and her assistant are just amazing! We have boarded our Newfie mix several times with her. Recently we rescued a second Newfie mix. A week later we had to be evacuated from wildfire. Our two dogs were tolerating each other, but having jealousy issues. After a week of being evacuated and unable to return home, I boarded the dogs with Sherry. A week later, we picked them up and I was told they had worked our two dogs to sleeping and even eating together. They are now a bonded pair and best friends! They are so good with dogs, especially rescues, and so wise and patient. The facility is clean, air conditioned, has lots of room for them to run around, pools and sprinklers to play in, and lots of love and attention. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!!
Aspen Kennels was our first-ever boarding experience for our sweet 11-year-old lab. Sherry and her team were a delight to work with and put us at ease as we were a little anxious to leave our sweet boy for the first time. :) I can highly recommend Aspen Kennels and we'll hope to return next time we're in the valley.
Sherry is so warm and friendly! Our dog Shasta had a great time staying with her for day care while we were out adventuri. She was accommodating. We will definitely be using her services next time we are in the area.
Honestly, a one star is being generous at this point. Went to pick up my dog today, who was not only in the wrong kennel, he was eating another dogs food which he proceeded to throw up the minute he came out of that kennel. His bed was in the kennel with the other dog and he had not received at least three doses of medication that he needs for his health. Regardless of “having staffing issues” (isn’t everyone), there is no excuse for this. I would highly recommend finding a dog sitter or some other option instead of this one.
This is a great place to leave our Husky! We will be back! Owners are very friendly and great to work with. The yard for the dogs is large and immaculate. My dog didn't even know we left when we dropped her off! Highly recommended!
Karen Pukanski is amazing with animals. She took care of my 2 dogs (1 that needs medication) and cat. The dogs went out for many walks. I could see by the pictures she was sending me that they were having a wonderful time. They received lots of cuddles and treats. Very spoiled animals just the way I like it. It's so nice to have a stress free day or two to myself because someone that I trust is watching my babies.
Thank you!!! Karen & Tami took such great care of my 2 cats (1 of whom is diabetic) & 2 dogs. My dogs were happy & tired when I got home after all their adventures. Loved all the updates & pics. I could relax while I was away knowing my menagerie were well looked after. Highly recommend Canines & Critters
We were able to relax on our get away knowing that our Bobbie was well taken care of in his own home. We got updates on Facebook with pictures (humorous captions included) letting us know that all was well. Canines & Critters Pet Sitting is now our go to for future trips. Excellent service.
Karen was spot on with caring for our treasured little fur babies. I was a nervous mama leaving my babies but with daily photos and reinsurance’s that they were doing great, I knew they were in great hands. Highly recommend Karen to care and love your pets while your away, we will be using her again 🥰 …
My 11 month old Border Collie Rif Raf, just spent three weeks. It was very hard to leave him but much easier once I saw his playground at Hoof N Woof. He soon had friends to play with and was kept entertained and well cared for while I couldn't be around.
thanks for taking care of my girl Whisky! i know I was a nervous dog mom and you were very patient and kind to me! I appreciate that so much. She had a great stay.
Beautiful, quiet country boarding. Marion is an exceptional dog handler and keeps a close eye on the pups. Very clean areas for them to play. Shady spots for the hot days with a play pool to cool off. Our pup loves going to stay,comes home very tired. Highly recommend.
Alexandra was amazing with our two dogs when we left them at Four Paws Hideaway! We could tell the dogs had a great time, and her detailed notes letting us know how the dogs did during their time there was such a great touch. Alexandra even snuggles with them at night which I know my dogs loved. We will definitely be using this place again in the future!
Zeus had a great time staying at Four Paws Hideaway! I know that because Alexandra sent pictures, videos and texts throughout his stay. In addition, she kept a diary of his activities, reactions and behaviors. Zeus is an 80 lb European Shepherd who has the run of our acreage. His accommodation was lovely with his own cabin in the woods surrounded by his very own outdoor space including greenspace and a fire hydrant. 😀 As for Alexandra, the owner, she clearly loves dogs and enjoys interacting with them. She has a lovely calm manner and is very knowledgeable about training, feeding, safety and the dogs general well being. I cannot recommend this facility enough. Zeus will stay there again and go for daycare to continue improving his socialization. Thank you from Lisa and Zeus 🐾
Our dog Luna had an awesome 4 night stay @ 4 Paws Hideaway! Alexandra is a wonderful, caring, loving host... send 5 star recommendations. We & Luna, look forward to next time💗 …
Our dogs "prance" when the are all done.
Lil Mutt is like a doggo Disneyland! My dogs absolutely love to enjoy a vacation here. The staff is kind, the kennels are clean and the peace of mind knowing that my poochies are safe and happy when I have to travel without them is priceless.
I recently lost my 15.5 year old dog Max. His health and quality of life had declined to the point where he didn't know where he was and walked in circles. I heard that Lil mutt did private crematations for pets. I contacted Shirley, prior to the Vet putting Max down, and she was so kind and understanding to what I was going through. She knew Max because she had groomed him for years. She offered to pick him up from the veterinary office and assured me he would be cremated by himself. She also assured me there would be no long wait for me to pick up his remains and would have them ready for me within 4 days. Unlike other pet crematories that have waits of up to two weeks. Shirley's soft and kind way meant so much to me in a time of such a great loss to me. In addition to this, lil mutt had groomed my dog for years, and they are the best of any groomer I had used. They would always do their best to squeeze Max in on short notice. They would groom him exactly as I asked each time. He'd come back happy and full of energy after being groomed by them. Amazing business to deal with for your fur babies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Shirley.
The very first time our dog hasn’t whined and complained after being at a kennel! She came out happy and warm. Thank you!
My dog goes to lil mutt every year. And every year he always come back more well behaved then when I dropped him off. They have amazing rates and a beautiful air conditioned kennel area. The dogs go out and play 5 to 6 times a day and get so much excercise and play with their friends. It’s extremely clean and my dog loves it there! I would recommend lil mutt to anyone who wants there dogs taken care of. Barry and Shirley are very caring and take their business of caring for your dog very serious I will drive 6 hours just to board my dog with them any day.
Dog got sick. First off we feed our dog raw food. We extended the dogs stay for a day. We let them know that we would feed the dogs when we picked them up in the morning. We were in a hurry to make an appt back home in Calgary. The man that we dealt with upon pickup did not seem to realize that we just wanted to see our dogs as we missed them. He held us up talking about non sense for over 30min all while telling us just to say hi to the dogs and go. Not to pet them or show them any affection just to put them on the leash and go. After all that when I go to feed my dog he proceeds to tell me that they've already been fed and that they feed the dogs at 9 and 4. When I dropped them off we told them that our one dog is fed once in the morning and that's it and we supplied the food. After hearing this he was adamant that he was already fed even though I knew they didn't have any more food that I supplied and I told them I would feed him myself. After getting home my dog has had diarrhea since and into the morning. I was hoping he was just unaware of what was going on but I'm assuming they just didn't listen to our instructions. He's never had diarrhea for a long time and the size of his business has never been that big for years seeing he's just on raw food. Definitely not impressed they decided to feed him whatever food especially since he always gets sick on kibble and I told them not to feed him that morning. Also not sure on when they get to go outside or anywhere other than in the kennel but everytime I was there... 4 times at random times... They were always locked in the kennel with no bedding or water it seems. The kennel is cheap I'll give them that but quality of treatment seems to be definitely lacking in what I was hoping. They say they're on 20 acres but I'm assuming they never leave the penned area which is a small building and a maybe 30 x 40 fenced off area. All in all I won't be taking my dogs back there ever again. 2 stars for being cheap but that's as high as I would rate them
Super nice people that took my dog last minute for a day stay while we’re out in creston for a vacation. Will definitely use them again 🙂 …
My dog always is eager to stay here, comes home so happy, love these people
I will admit it I was very disgusted by this very rude lady that worked at the pet shop , not cool of her Today we tried to call her and asked her to see if they had pee mats for my dog she was being so rude towards my bf over the phone call I’m very disgusted and disappointed nobody shouldn’t have to deal with that
Great place - air conditioned / heated kennels and shaded dog runs (and a kiddie pool when it's really hot). Lots of space for the furry kids to play.
Good value they have a very nice place for the pups! Very fair rates for what you get and they are very nice people.
Lindsey (the owner) and her team take such good care of our furbaby, Ember, whenever we board her at the Penticton Pet Resort. Ember is a special needs dog so it is highly important for us to have the kind of reassurance and peace of mind that their facility gives us each and every single time that she is at their place. Rebecca (one of their pet care professionals) has established a strong bond with Ember. She has also taken it upon herself to give Ember that extra care and attention she needs given her unique health condition. We are truly grateful and appreciative of the high level of service the Penticton Pet Resort provides to our family. They are a rare gem in this industry!
Our home was evacuated due to a fire and in an emergency situation Penticton Pet Resort stepped up and made the check in process quick and easy. I was able to communicate through text and send photos of our dogs vaccination records. Without a date for pick up since we didn’t know when we would be allowed home, they looked after our beloved dog and updated us with photos. How ever long we needed, they would be there. In high stress situations, they made our life so much easier. Thank you for helping us and being a reliable and caring business.
Cannot thank the staff at Penticton Pet Resort enough for all of their help / support over the last few years. I often have crazy / last minute work trips and the staff / owner have been incredibly accommodating and responsive in supporting our family with care for my little one. Great upbeat / professional team and Zaya is always happy to be dropped off. Just want to thank Lindsey and rest of the team there for the continued help taking care of Zaya - I have no hesitation to recommend you and full confidence every time I drop her off.
To say Lindsay and her team are the sweetest, most compassionate and animal loving people is an understatement! They really treat your fur babies as their own and show them so much love. We can't even say the word "daycare" anymore or our two big pups go crazy with excitement! I've never had a worry or concern dropping my pups off for any length of time. Best place for pets ever!!
Lindsey and her team are seriously "top notch"! They go above and beyond to ensure my weirdos are happy, healthy and get the most out of their "doggy daycare" / "boarding" experience. I am seriously impressed and you will be too.
I have been taking my dog here for many years now for overnight boarding. He has been returning home happy and healthy every time. The staff are great and the online reservation request is very convenient. My pup gets excited when we pull up to the driveway there so I know he also gives 5 dog bones of excellence!
We've been bringing my (almost) one year old puppy here since he was five months old and I have never been more impressed with such a welcoming staff. They are so kind and treat my pup like he is the best boy in the world. We just picked him up from a two night stay and he didn't want to come home. It's so nice to know we have a safe place for our pup to go if we go away on a trip.
I have had only good experiences with the Penticton Pet Resort. They are accommodating, friendly, and truly care about the pets in their care. My senior dog Pumpkin loves staying at the resort while I’m away and she is always well cared for. I would recommend the Penticton Pet Resort to anyone looking for top notch accommodations for their furry friends.
We recently had our bull mastiff boarded for 11 days. Booking was easy, Lyndsey was easily reachable by phone/text. The facility was clean with friendly staff to receive us early on a Sunday morning. On our return our dog was in excellent condition, she clearly liked the staff and apparently made a few doggy friends. I would absolutely bring my Lola back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.
Was visiting from Calgary and felt so at ease leaving my dog here. The staff were awesome and explained a ton when I dropped her off and then at pick up, they thoroughly explained how she did and how they adjusted her stay to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!
