Sheelagh
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.

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.

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!

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!
Laurie
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !

Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.

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!!

Angela and Joe are wonderful house and pet sitters sitters in every way. They have a great loving way with animals and my shy dog warmed up to them right away. They are warm, organized, confident, and thorough. They communicated very well and gave me frequent updates and sweet photos of my dog Chica. They also took excellent care of my home. My only regret was that I didn't get to spend more time with them, because they're such lovely and interesting people. I give Angela and Joe my highest recommendation and feel that anyone would be very lucky to have them their sitters! I hope that they return to sit here again.

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!
Sally Ann
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

Super easy to deal with and truly care for the well-being of your animal! Rocco says thank you
Elizabeth was great. She asked us questions on our dogs personality, feeding schedule etc to get to know him better. We were able to come get him during our vacation to take him on walks, and bring him back later on, even though she walks the dogs twice a day. To top it all off, we ended up overpaying, and they reached out to tell us this, and we were able to swing by and work it all out later on.
Wonderful people and location. My dog was well looked after, and in good spirits after his two day stay...even though the summer heat was up to 35 degrees.
Good service and value..... Our dog enjoyed his stay

There aren't enough stars for this review. I can't say enough positive things about my dogs stay here. I've kenneled him at many different places but unleashed has been the best. I was first struck by how quiet it was upon entering. Most places the dogs are barking excessively and obviously stressed. The dogs were all quiet and happily hanging out. I picked my dog up to go hiking and could tell he was eating (this doesn't usually happen as he gets stressed a bit in a kennel). After our hike I brought him back and he was thrilled to be back. He was actually tugging on his leash to get back into the building with his tail going a million times a minute. I have never been so happy to drop him off at a kennel before because I knew he would be well taken care of. Thank you guys so much for loving the pets in your care and providing them with a home away from home. I hope to be in the area again someday and will bring my fur baby back 😀
We can't rave enough about Unleashed and the awesome staff there. Unleashed is our dog's favourite place in the valley. He is beyond excited when we drop him off and never wants to leave when we pick him up! We also did obedience classes at Unleashed in the spring, which were great. The owners and staff are clearly knowledgeable and have a deep love for dogs. Our pup is still young and highly energetic, so he can be quite the handful. However, I know he is in excellent hands with the crew at Unleashed. We are very fortunate to have this business in the valley.
Most amazing doggie daycare I have ever come across. The owners are the best. Super polite and professional. My dog had so much fun. Will defently be back
My furbaby stayed with Unleashed for 1 month she had the best time. We loved that our dog was able to spend her days outdoors playing and not in a crate like many other kennels. We highly recommend Amber and her team for all your daycare/extended care needs.
My dogs only visited this dog care one time for the day. It was easy to get them booked in. I am grateful that Unleashed! Accepted my dogs for the day, I was camping with the dogs and I got to do some things I wouldn't normally get to do because they are usually with me. They seemed well cared for and the staff told me they had a good day. The place looked nice from what I could see. Drop off and pick up was easy and the price was very reasonable. Thank you! I would come back if I was in the area again.
Well run Daycare & Boarding facility ideally located btw Radium and Invermere. I booked daycare on short notice & they were terrific with my 15 yr. old retriever. I can highly recommend and will use Unleashed! again.
Unleashed Pet Care Services are absolutely brilliant. Having moved over from Scotland with our dog it has been great to give our dog some time to herself and play with friends at Unleashed. Amber and her team are so kind and friendly and very very knowledgeable of dogs needs and are very understanding of some dogs needs. My dog is nervous with some people and I feel her time at Unleashed has really brought her out of her shell, we will continue to use Unleashed as much as we can. As well as daycare and boarding we have also had her bathed and her nails trimmed while at Unleashed and they are brilliant, it’s great getting back a clean tired dog! Thank you Unleashed!
Took our dog there whilst we was on holiday in radium she loved it and was so excited to go every morning
I dropped my dog off for a 3 night stay at unleashed and it was amazing! My dog had a blast, he was sad to leave. It was the first time we have ever left our dog somewhere overnight and everyone was incredible! My dog slept the whole 4 hour drive home and continues to sleep the rest of the day! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to board their pup!
Great place, have been sending our dog, who is anxious around people, a few times a week for over a month. She’s happy to go and loves getting to run about with other dogs. All the staff are brilliant with her and care a lot about the dogs they’re looking after.

Wendy runs an awesome business! We're super pleased with her services. As a dog kennel, she doesn't accept dogs that are problematic (fair warning) in concern for the rest of her charges, but takes excellent care of the ones she boards. She also takes cats. It is a small business so don't expect to be able to come in at the drop of a hat, but she's happy to work with you as best she can. Phone during business hours, be patient, and you can guarantee that when you need to have someone take care of your dog for a while, the Rocky Mountain Pet Resort and Spa will have your pet's needs and happiness well taken care of.
We have two dogs - ages 14 and 4. Because our senior dog doesn’t like open wooden stairs Wendy provided us with a solution- for additional cost of course , of a separate and quieter space in The Cottage. Our girls spend 6 nights there and they appeared to have enjoyed their stay.
Wendy took us in when Unleashed cancelled on us last minute. This place is everything you could possibly want in a doggy day-care. Lots of care, friendly pups, and tons of space for them to run around. My dog got spoiled rotten with tons of love, cuddles and treats, and was extremely comfortable with his stay. Wendy is truly a lifesaver and runs a five star business.
Such a gorgeous place for pups to stay! Roo just LOVES staying at the Rocky Mtn Pet Resort & Spa if our adventures aren't dog friendly & he has plenty of space to run and play with his new friends. Wendy is so lovely to deal with & has the pups best interest at heart.
My husband and I wanted to go to the hot springs and needed someone last minute to take our little pup Winston. Wendy was so kind and understanding to deal with, and even though it was a quiet cleaning day for her, she still took our boy even though he was the only pup there. When we drove up we even saw them playing. You can tell Wendy absolutely loves dogs! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling through! Thankyou Wendy for having such understanding! 👍🏻
We were in a pinch needing a place for our 2 Great Danes to stay for half a day while we were passing through and Wendy was very accommodating to work with me over the phone a few days before our arrival to set things up. Timing wise it ended up being better for them to spend the night which Wendy was able to provide on short notice. Our Danes, as lovely as they are, have separation anxiety and can be easily stressed out but when we arrived the next morning they were both in good spirits. They got to stay in a beautiful little "cottage" all to themselves complete with a fireplace, couch, dog beds and a large play area. The entire facility is sparkling clean and very cozy . I would definitely recommend this place for your pets!
Wendy put our minds at ease throughout our vacation with updates about our dog. The resort is located mins away from Radium Hot Springs BC. Our dog seemed really happy with his week long stay.
I brought my dog Waylon yesterday to this place. I wanted to check out more of Radium & Invermere and I cannot bring my dog everywhere. I was looking for him to get some daycare for between 4 to 5 hours and decided to try this place. They are in Edgewater which is just a short drive from Radium Hot Springs. It was quite easy to find and the nice thing about kennels or daycare for dogs in small towns is they get a country feel. They have a large fenced yard for the dogs to explore and interact with. He made a friend when he got there just minutes later. There are not a lot of these facilities in the greater Radium region but I would recommend Mrs & Mr Bennett for short or long term dog care.
Our Dogs just love Wendy and the Pet resort! Feels so great to know your fur kids are so well cared for when you are away! would recommend them to Everyone!! Best place in the valley.
We won't use this business again. We thought we would give it a try but when the owner charged us for an extra day because she decided she wouldn't take him the evening we arrived (after being behind a serious highway accident with no cell coverage), and told us only on pick up day of all the "issues" she had with our dog (some of which put him in extreme danger) instead of contacting us immediately, made for a bad experience. Our pup has been to many pet resorts with very little issue but she made sure to tell us what a bad dog he was. Our pup is highly trained and is generally easy to manage when exercised properly and given some care. It was clear he received neither of these during his stay. This resort is likely more tailored for dogs who are okay to sit in a cage for a few days at a time and don't require attention or proper exercise.
