Pet Sitters in West Hatfield, MA

I contacted Chris late at night the night before Thanksgiving in a jam!! He worked it out in his schedule and fit Bruno in last minute on a holiday!! I normally would give more notice, but I was so grateful for Chris!! Bruno came home happy and at peace!! I would definitely recommend Chris and will be using his services again!!

I have been visiting family in Northampton and found myself in dire need of a pet sitter. Chris and Denise responded to my request promptly and worked me into their schedule. I was most appreciative. They both became friends with my 9 year old Chihuahua (who is very selective in who she becomes friends with!). Thanks Denise and Chris for taking such great care of Bits! I highly recommend Chris and Denise.

We have two dogs who are a little insane and demanding. Chris is a lifesaver! He was so accommodating with our ever changing schedule. Our skiddish rescue doesn't really warm up to people very quickly at all. He took to chris right away. His pricing was insanely low. I would gladly pay double what he charged. I would definitely prefer trusting his one on one attention to a store front "doggie daycare". I can't say enough. He is a real gem!

Chris was fantastic with my puppy, Cooper. I work long days and needed someone to walk and feed Cooper three times a day. Chris was always there to help and always willing to help me even on the weekends. His prices are very reasonable.

Fantastic, kind, reliable and caring. Chris and his helper are great. My dogs demand no one else when it comes to walks, day care or overnights!!

I’ve used Sarah’s for off-leash group hikes, 1:1 training, and boarding, and can so highly recommend them for all of these services! They take a lot of care to evaluate dogs for safety and match them based on temperament within the pack. Ryan is just a wonderful trainer - detailed, personalized, and thorough. He’s helped my dog Ada a lot to calm down around guests. Their other walkers are so friendly and attentive as well. Really glad to have found Sarah’s!

Sarah was recommended to us by our venue and we are so thankful to have used her so our pup could be apart of our special day! Sarah was great to work with from start to finish, she was very communicative and accommodating to help make our day run smoothly. She worked so well with our dog and made sure was well loved and cared for all day. We could not recommend Sarah enough!! We could not recommend

I had Sarah bring my dog to my wedding venue for pictures! She was so amazing and took such good care of my dog! She sent us so many updates and pictures throughout the day which made me feel so much better that I got to see how happy Bailey was and how much fun she was having! Thank you so much Sarah for taking such great care of Bailey and helping us make her apart of our special day!

Full service dog care on our wedding day! Sarah came recommended to us from our wedding planner at Valley View Farm and she offered wedding day dog sitting as well as assistance during our ceremony. IT WAS PERFECT! Our pup, Dot, is a little rambunctious and she helped all day by keeping her entertained on the grounds, assisting in photos and retrieving her from the ceremony after walking down the aisle. Having Dot be a part of our day and in the ceremony was such a joy and we could not have done it without Sarah. She even suggested we schedule an evening/dinner time walk so we wouldn’t be rushing back to the hotel. And when we did get back, Sarah had left a couple toys and treats for Dot to enjoy after a good day! If you want you pup to be part of your wedding day - we highly recommend Sarah!

We are very happy with Sarah's Pet Services. The trainers and dog walkers are professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly, our dog just loves the off-leash group hikes!

Sarah was our dog handler for our wedding in Northampton, MA in the fall. She was excellent - beyond our expectations! She truly cared about dog's well being, she not only picked him up and did an excellent job helping us with the ceremony - but went above and beyond. On the way home to drop him off to the boarding facility, she picked our fur baby up a pup cup and sent us pictures! She allowed me to have an stress-free wedding day because she took such great care of our dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog care on your wedding day.

Sarah was so amazing! She brought her daughter with her to take care of my bunny (after checking that it was okay with me of course) and they were both so good with him. Sarah even brought apple tree twigs from her house to give to moose to snack on and they became one of his favorite things. She was prompt and even took him on knowing that he had some special needs, which I appreciated beyond belief. She also came to my house on a holiday even though it is a little far of a drive. Truly an amazing experience and I will be using her from now on whenever I am away.

We've had an amazing experience with Sarah's Pet Services, with two different dogs over the past three years. We have used them for daytime walks, group hikes with other dogs, and daytime training sessions for our new puppy. They are very responsive, give us lots of feedback (and daily cute dog pics, for a little emotional lift while we're at work!), and the staff are all highly knowledgable and helpful. We've been especially grateful to have their help recently as we address some behavior issues with our puppy; we get daily updates on what they see during the visits, what they've been working on with her, and suggestions for steps we can take while training at home. It has made a huge difference for our puppy, and it's a great comfort to know that everyone working with her is on the same page and working towards the same goals. And the group hikes have been fantastic -- frankly we're a little jealous of all the outdoor time with friends and exercise that the pup gets, and we come home to a happy tired dog every time.

I had a lot of trouble finding someone to take my Doberman, most facilities once they heard Doberman turned us away. Not Sarah’s pet service, they happily excepted saint! Ryan came and met saint and took the time to understand his personality. With slow introduction saint immediately told me that he loved Ryan. Every time one of the walkers comes to take saint for a hike they did it with such ease and we’re so professional. Saint now waits for his pals and gets so excited. Shoutout to Bryan and Noam and Ryan as well, they are saints main walkers and have been nothing but amazing to saint. I know I can trust them and that just puts me as a dog mom at peace. Thank you Sarah’s pet service for everything, you guys have been a blessing❤️

I feel so grateful to have been recommended Sarah's Pet Services. Bixby and I have been working with Ryan Hall, who has been beyond fantastic. When I adopted Bixby, he had behavioral issues around me leaving the apartment - he would bark from when I left to when I returned. It was negatively impacting my life and Bixby did not seem happy and comfortable in his new home. Furthermore, I was at a point of panic, having to start an in-person job, where Bixby could not join me, and I really needed help. I was so afraid of needing to re-home Bixby, which would have been truly heartbreaking. I received Ryan's number from a friend who also works with Sarah's Pet Services. I had no idea what I was doing, but Ryan was welcoming and accommodating with his schedule to get us started right away. Ryan is incredibly supportive and, when we met, he understood where Bixby and I were and our situation. He is patient and kind to both of us. All of Bixby's trainings were well explained and clear goals were set at the end of each session. Ryan would come to my apartment for the trainings, which was convenient. He is an excellent communicator, reliable, and trustworthy. It is very obvious to me that he is very much invested in Bixby's journey and I am very thankful for that. For over 2 weeks now, Bixby has successfully been left home alone daily in his crate and even neighbors have remarked on his success and good progress. I cannot recommend enough how beneficial these training sessions have been. I had tried YouTube videos, forums, all sorts of different tools, puzzles, noise machines, music, etc., and nothing was clicking. Not only is he not barking whenever I'm away, but when I'm home, he's clearly much happier and more comfortable in his space. Having grown up and owned dogs my whole life, I had the misconception that I wouldn't need a trainer for guidance. But it has been educational and invaluable for my relationship with Bixby. I intend to continue to work with Ryan to help Bixby with socializing with other dogs. We're both looking forward to learning more!

I moved up here summer 2023 and I used to bring my dog to Pet Hotel down the street but figured to give Wagging Tails a shot (even though it's further down the road from my commute to work). I don't regret my decision. Bowser has been with the pack and goes 2-3 times a week. He gets excited in the morning going there and gets excited coming back home. I appreciate you all over there and so does Bowser! ♡

My dog loves going here!! She goes to daycare and we board her on weekends when we are away. She has made so many friends - doggy and human alike! The facility itself is nice and clean and welcoming. The staff are friendly and welcoming as well. They have a nice outdoor area and will take the dogs on "nature walks" on the bike path - for a little extra. The only thing I think could be better is how many extras there are.

Our dogs have gone to Wagging Tails for years but we will never go back. They clearly prioritize profits over the health and safety of the dogs that go there. Both of our dogs got an antibiotic resistant Kennel Cough type disease after their last daycare visit. Wagging Tails is the only place where they could have gotten this. Our vet has told us that this disease is common for dogs that go to Wagging Tails. Wagging Tails also hides any critical comments on their Facebook page; check out their 8/25 post as an example. If you care about your dogs then please avoid Wagging Tails.

I have taken my dog a few times in the past years for grooming. I was very happy with the service at first which was done by people who seemed well trained and very professional. That has not been the case the last few times. The has been a lot of turnover and the staff does not seem as knowledgeable or trained, and a little overwhelmed with all the work. It’s a shame.

We mainly use Wagging Tails for boarding during long trips, once or twice a year. Still, our pup feels right at home. They take great care of her and of us!

Wagging Tails has been amazing for our puppy, Trixie! They treat her super well and she never comes home stressed. We use them for occasional daycare and boarding. Can't recommend them enough!

I can not say enough about how amazing Wagging Tails is!! We were gone for an entire week for thanksgiving, and our families being out of the area, we had to board our pug for the week. I was so worried because he is a love bug who loves laps and attention more than anything, and he is with me 24/7, so I wasn’t sure how he would do. With Wagging Tails updates and daily Facebook posts, I knew exactly how he was doing the whole week, and got to see how he interacted with the other dogs and handlers. I cannot recommend Wagging Tails enough!!

My dog, Naya, has been going to Wagging Tails for years, she was one of their first pups! She loves this place. It’s clean, busy, and she has a blast every time. She needs medication administration twice per day and eats a special refrigerated diet. They have no problem accommodating her needs. The owner and all of the staff are so kind and caring. Great place to leave your furry friend for a day of play or a week of stay! Thanks Wagging Tails!!

We just picked up our dogs from 15 days of boarding, and the seem to have been well taken care of but our experience with the person at the checkout desk was extremely negative. He was not professional or friendly when we entered, and then charged our $1200 dollar total to the wrong card. When we said that was the wrong card he started arguing with us and went into the back where we could still hear him loudly complaining/yelling about us and saying it wasn’t his fault (??). I’ve never experienced something so unprofessional, especially after spending so much money with a business. We likely won’t be back here and will try boarding somewhere else with better customer service. I’ve seen other reviews also commenting the service at the front desk was unsatisfactory, and I would agree.

My current and past dog have done boarding, training and doggy daycare at Wagging Tails. The staff is wonderful, they treat your dog like family and really seem to enjoy their jobs. My dog is always excited to go and comes home exhausted. When we moved to the area we visited, we toured and tried out many doggy daycare, and Wagging Tails is by far our favorite. Some of the others may look nicer or fancier but we found staff did not know the names of the dogs, did not seem to love the dogs like their own and most importantly my dog was not even tired when she came home. If you are looking for a great doggy daycare I highly recommend Wagging Tails Pet Resort. Check them out on fb to see pictures of the dogs in action

When I was planning to adopt a dog, I knew I needed a sitter because I travel frequently. Lynne's Luv-A-Pup Petsitting was the perfect answer. Lily, my beloved Yorkie, stays with Lynne when I'm away and I'm 100% confident that she's getting great care. I highly recommend Luv-A-Pup and so does Lily who's always happy and healthy when I come to pick her up. Five Stars!

Lynne has been our dog walker for as long as we have had our rescue dog, Prince Hairy. When we were working, she would take him out for long walks a few times a week. Now that we are retired, she is available for overnights in her dog friendly home. Prince Hairy came to us at approximately 1.5 years of age. He was very anxious and insecure. She worked with him intensely to gain his trust. That was more than 11 years ago. She is reliable and observant. She has pointed out concerns that we were not aware of. Most importantly, we leave with total trust that he is in good hands.

Lynne is a wonderful, caring sitter. The animals love her. We had to leave our dog for a few days soon after we got her, and Lynne’s calm energy (and Tiny) helped her feel right at home. Even the cat likes getting his medicine when she gives it to him. Highly recommend her!

Lynne is very flexible with scheduling and a wonderful home based dog boarding experience. Lynne takes my dog on hikes with her dog and my dog comes home happy and calm! Highly recommend Lynne’s care!

Luv-a-Pet couldn't be a better title for Lynne and her service. She has cared for our dog, Sachi, for going on 3 years and has been fabulous. Her little dog, Tiny, is a bonus and fun for Sachi to hang out with. Lynne walks the dogs she cares for and plays with them. This past year Sachi had surgery and was ill this spring. We had a weekend trip scheduled and Lynne took care of Sachi - she is the only person we would trust Sachi with under the circumstances. She even took her to the vet while we were gone. Couldn't ask for a more caring and concerned pet-sitter. Highly recommend!!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lynne and the care she has given to my dog Rosie, and now our newer dog. From weekly walks to overnite stays I always have peace of mind that my dogs are safe and having way more fun with Lynne than if with me. Highly recommend!!

Lynne does a great job!

I am always totally comfortable leaving our dog at The Valley Inn for Pets. The staff is so attentive and friendly. There are so many extra services that I feel our dog is more than pampered during his stay- he's spoiled! Having the veterinary clinic attached is an added benefit. I wouldn't even consider anyplace else. Thanks very much, Valley Inn for Pets, you're the best!

Great place for dogs! We left our for 10 days. Every day we received pictures from walks. Also watched for pup through webcam. Today we took away healthy and happy dog :)

My girls get super excited when we get to the parking lot and always come home healthy and happy. From the notes, I can tell the staff know my dogs' real personalities; I know the staff is putting in the work. PS: I read some reviews where people seemed confused about how much time their pets spend in a cage. Boarding (e.g. caged for some %) is offered as a different service than doggy daycare, I believe that you effectively have to pay for both for your pet to receive playtime, make sure you ask about boarding costs as well as daycare cost.

Let me preface this review with the fact that I am a long time client of valley vet and everyone there has been great. Valley inn for pets on the other hand is not somewhere I would recommend. Recently did some boarding and daycare for my dog and a big selling point for me was the ability to check in via camera feed. My wife and I diligently checked the camera feed and for the most part she was barely taken out of her isolated room. When I think of doggy daycare I think of socializing and play. This is more so a kennel to keep your dog safe but they will get close to no actual time outside their kennels. Also the staff was not very friendly or accommodating and it didn't seem like they really gave her much attention. Will not being using this service again.

A wonderful environment for dogs and cats! I love valley inn and valley vet :)

What once was a great place, is now horrible. We'll never return after 15+ years. We dropped off our healthy dog for a long weekend while we went to visit a dying relative. When we got her home, our dog was very, very ill (which was the first we became aware . . . they couldn't even lift a phone to call us). This resulted in even further expenses to take her to her vet. I have noticed a major attitude change in the past couple of visits to the Valley Inn for Pets. I asked the person at the front desk to put a blanket or two in her bed. Well they brought the blanket in and left it on the floor, not the bed, so that was worthless. They no longer act in a caring way. The staff just does not display a genuine concern for our pets, and all conversations are scripted. Think twice before you bring your beloved canine family members to this place. In response to your comment, thank you, and yes, I have found an excellent vet as well as a boarding and grooming facility that is excellent.

When we moved to the area, we decided on sending our dog to a doggie daycare once a week or more. We went to a few different places and landed on Valley Inn for Pets. 3-4 years later, we are still happily taking our dog there. All of the staff are really welcoming and kind. Our dog is really high energy but they really do a great job of being able to work with any kind of dog. I feel safe leaving my dog here for daycare or boarding because I know the staff will take good care of my boy and alert me if anything goes wrong. If you board your dog, you will get a report card when you pick them up which is a very nice touch. They have kennel cams that allow you to access live feed which is reassuring when you are miles away! I will continue to bring my dog here as long as we are in the area. Thank you, Valley Inn for Pets for ALL you do -- it does not go unnoticed!

Called to set up a daycare time. First they said they had room for my dog. Then they said my dog would not have playtime, because they were full. When I questioned if they really had room for my dog to stay and play with other dogs they said no. I did not want to have my dog stay in a crate all day. It was very confusing as to whether or not they had room. When I asked again about the details to try to understand what my dogs day would be like, they said we have no room. I won't be recommending them. I am not sure what they do with the dogs or how they manage the daycare.

My two large dogs, Duke and Dorothy were wonderfully taken care of in their 6 day stay at the Valley Inn. I called to check on them and was given a nice detailed report on their current activity, the staff are wonderful, and I would highly recommend the Valley Inn.

Staff are great and always welcoming, my dog is so excited Everytime she "gets" to visit. Even our cat loves this place! We get full reports and even get text messages to watch our dog go out and play (which she seems to spend most if her time "helping" the people watch the other dogs). Our dog is such a nerd.... Truly loves coming here & even loves her vet visits. They're doing something right!

I love this place! The staff are friendly, fun and knowledgeable and clearly love the pets. The place is multi-faceted, clean and welcoming. The rates and options are flexible. I no longer worry at all about my girl while she is there. She tends to be a bit anxious but she runs in that door right over to her best friend Bree (hope the spelling is right) and comes home relaxed and happy.

I have had nothing but good experiences at," The Good Dog Spot" in Northampton, Massachusetts. My young dog, Henry, was initially enrolled in puppy daycare until he graduated into the adult group. He goes there twice a week to interact with other dogs as well as people. As a result, despite the fact that he is only a little over 1 and 1/2 years old at this time, people are amazed at how calm and gentle he is. He does not act like an undisciplined puppy. He acts like a confident, well-mannered, extremely well socialized adult dog. I recently had to go on a trip which lasted a week. I boarded my young dog as well as a 17-year-old senior dog with dementia. I also boarded two 10-year-old cats. The staff was wonderful interacting with all of my animals and emailed me daily reports as to their health from snout to tail! Three of my animals were on daily medications and they administered them without any difficulty. They also reported that medications were given and also how their appetites were. Based on the aforementioned experiences, I would highly recommend," The Good Dog Spot" not only as a place to socialize your dog, but as a wonderful place with highly trained staff if daycare or boarding is needed.

I used to bring my dog here frequently. This summer I left my small miniature dachshund at the Northampton location for the weekend. When I picked her up, she was clearly not taken care of. She was covered in her own urine and feces. Not only that but all her bedding and blankets were given back to me covered in the same urine and feces. When I asked about what happened the staff were incredibly dismissive with one of the men there saying in a very annoyed tone of voice “seems like it’s pretty evident she peed.” I will never leave my furry friend here again. I still never got an explanation other than the manager I talked to after trying to talk in circles around the point.

The Good Dog Spot has been incredible and far surpassed my expectations! Our puppy was enrolled in the Spot's Tots program where they did all sorts of training and exercises with him to help him become a well acclimated young man. He quickly graduated to the program for older dogs, and had a great first day. The prices are reasonable for the level of care that is given. I would happily recommend The Good Dog Spot to anyone!

Boarded my cats here for just over a week and was very happy with the experience! I got daily reports of how they were doing, which helped with any anxiety about leaving them at a new place. The staff is also very responsive and made it easy for me to pay ahead of time and have a friend pick my pets up. My cats came home very happy which tells me they had a good experience at the Good Dog Spot. It feels good to find a place that I can trust with my cats, and I already have plans to board them here again!

I had my dog kiya groomed here and as a first time customer here I had a fantastic experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Kiya had a shed treatment and a full groom and she looks fabulous! She wasn't on edge at all, just a happy puppy when she came out! Thank you guys so much! Will DEFINITELY be back!

Very friendly staff. My pup loves her once a week play group. I recently took a vacation and felt at ease knowing my girl was in good hands in their boarding facility.

Staff at the Good Dog Spot are wonderful with our puppy. She always comes home happy and tired. Thank you!

Received expensive, mediocre hair cut for my small dog along with a “report card” upon pick up, which told me he earned a B grade. Sooooo… are you hoping I train him up for next time so he can earn an A? Or are you just reporting to me that he was a handful and your groomer wasn’t trained or experienced enough to comfortably handle him?

The Good Dog Spot was recommended to me for boarding for my puppy Wilbur. And they are fantastic. They are thoughtful and thorough when accommodating your dogs needs. When I came to pick him up the next day he was in no rush to leave The Good Dog Spot…so I think it’s safe to say your dog or pup will be in good hands with them. They offer an extensive list of packages and services at great prices. Highly recommend!!

We worked with Laura about a year ago, to do basic walking, greeting, and behavioral training. I still think about the things she taught us today, with each walk. The experience with Laura changed our relationship with our dog and we are very grateful for her a knowledge and tips. I feel like we use some of it to train our kid too! :) We highly recommend her!

Laura is wonderful! We were really anxious since we had never left our two little Shih tzus with a pet sitter before and needed some help for a day. Laura is amazingly meticulous and very conscientious. She came over to meet us, went for a walk with us around the neighborhood to see where she should take them, and asked lots of questions to know exactly how they liked things. Our dogs were instantly comfortable with her, and it is clear she has a special way with animals. We had her come twice during the day, and she very kindly sent email updates with pictures of the little girls which put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got home, the doggies were happy and content and not at all anxious that we had been away. Thank you so much Laura! We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever we need help.

Laura was VERY helpful. I called her initially to hope to set something up to train my new pup and she talked with me for at least a half hour about tips and tricks to help my pup get used to her crate. We then scheduled a 1 on 1 and met with Laura for an hour and we went through ALL the issues my dog was having and she showed us how to help train on our own to help our pup become a great dog! Highly recommend! She was so very pleasant to work with and even followed up a couple weeks later to see how the pup was doing.

I am so grateful to have found Laura as a sitter for our cats. She got to know them both, spent quality time with them while we were away, and took the worry away from traveling. I HIGHLY recommend her for anything to do with animals! They will be in professional and compassionate hands.

Laura is beyond excellent with cats. We have a 6yr old Norwegian Forest Cat who only hangs out with us, and hides whenever anyone else enters the house. She's also a nervous wreck when when she stays at a Kennel. Laura came to see her twice a day for 2+ weeks, and became Feather's first new friend in 6 years. Laura was so patient and determined to get Feather out of her shell and it eventually worked! Feather was--for the first time--completely her fabulous, relaxed self when we returned from vacation. Thanks for the peace of mind, Laura!

Elena D: We needed someone to stay with our puppy, Ollie while we were out of town for the day. Laura came highly recommended. Laura came over to meet Ollie prior to dog sitting and there was an instant connection. Laura is very friendly and professional and has an impressive amount of knowledge and experience with dogs. It was so comforting to know that he was in such good hands. I will continue to rely on Laura for all my dog sitting needs.

Laura has been a great resource for me and my partner. We've had three sessions with her and our 2 year old rescue that we just adopted. She's helped us a lot! The first immediate thing was helping to train our dog (and us) how to walk well on a leash. From there, we worked on a number of other commands, which our dog has picked up quickly. She's really improved to the point where are neighbors are complementing us on her leash manners. Laura is always on time, checks in on our progress, and is always willing to stay a little after to chat about any challenges we're facing. Would highly recommend to anyone!

When looking for a pet sitter, we figured anybody good would be hard to get. We called Laura and she had availability and came to meet our 2 corgis , Barney and Lucy. They bonded almost instantly. When we went away twice recently, she kept us informed and emailed us with any questions (which we like). She sent us a picture of them and they looked very happy. Upon returning, you could tell everything was well. Laura even left notes at each visit for us. She sees things about the dogs that we don't see. She goes the extra mile! Barney and Lucy can't wait for us to go on a trip again. Robin & Henry Baj

Laura cares for our dog Lavender regularly, both midday visits and overnight when needed. She recently cared for her while we were away for almost 2 weeks including overnight and daytime visits. Laura was very conscientious when she first met with us, took her time to meet Lav and ask all appropriate questions so that she would be prepared. She leaves notes after every visit to let us know how things went and any concerns she noted. Before we left for an overnight or extended vacation she met with us again to review new expectations or tasks she would need to manage. She is very detailed about getting all the information she will need (even things I did not think about); she makes sure to have necessary contact info, etc. She emailed us while we were gone, sent us some photos of Lav to put our minds at ease that she was doing fine. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Lavender is always well cared for. She will continue to visit Lav weekly and I have already booked her for our next time away. I highly recommend Laura to care for your pet!

Laura has been a huge asset to our family. We first adopted Johnny, a very energetic 7 month old rescue pup that didn’t know how to properly walk on a leash without biting it (very least of our problems!) to having my 9 year old son teach him “paw” all in a matter of three weeks. Johnny is now a well-mannered puppy who has the willingness to learn. Laura has been so very supportive and encouraging. Her positive energy is very rewarding and helpful. Laura is excellent!

We bring our dog Aoife here for both day care and boarding. She loves it! Rae and the rest of the staff are so kind and knowledgeable about dogs. Love lil dog lodge!!

I brought my dog here twice and on both occasions he needed to pee immediately after we went outside and he was very thirsty, which confused me as those both seem like basic needs to be met. The couple that runs this has a large number of security cameras set up outside, patrolling the parking lot and surrounding area, however, they don't have any internal cameras that allow people to see the conditions the dogs are being kept in, or how often they get out to play. So I decided to take my dog elsewhere and highly recommend The Good Dog Spot.

Chompy has been going to the LDL for about 3.5 years. We love the staff and trust that she is happy when she is there because she is always so excited to arrive.

My puppy goes wild for Lil Dog Lodge. Here is a photo of him eager to be put down by my son to run to the door. He absolutely loves to go and is so excited when I pick him up. He even protested to leave once, sitting at the door step. The owner (Rae?) talked to me for a good 20 minutes, sharing her expertise. I’m grateful for this home away from home, and the price is reasonable ($15 for 3 hours, $38 or maybe less for 24 hours.).

No other place I would take my dogs. We have had the best experience with the staff and owners of Lil Dog Lodge. They make you feel like family is taking care of your fur babies and whenever we need them they are there for us!! They provide boarding and amazing snuggle time with your fur babies. Be sure to check out this wonderful and super friendly small business.

I have two precious dogs. My girlfriend and I look for pups others may not take and that comes with some behavioral issues due to neglect and abuse. One of which has separation anxiety like I’ve never seen. I’ve tried training and medications and all have failed. He is destructive when left alone and will rip up the walls. I’ve been reliant on a daycare facility for the last 6-7 years and had the privilege of working for one. My usual facility has shut down due to the virus. I have to work from home and my pups are used to being at the other daycare facility and draining their energy there. It is pretty hard to sit down and work from home when you have two dogs with separation anxiety with a ton of energy. The lodge has been a god send. I called last Friday and the lady I spoke to (I believe the owner) was very friendly and made it very easy for me to get everything set (vet records, intake form) so my pups could have their first day today. She answered all my questions and having worked at a similar facility, I had a bunch. I went in this morning and was greeted by someone who genuinely looked like she loved her job and was excited to see my dogs. She was very friendly with them. My newer dog is a very sad neglect case and has problems with new people. The lady today took it slow and I was amazed Joy didn’t bark at her. Upon pick up I was informed on how my pups did. They didn’t even want to leave at first. I had to call them from the lobby. Both came out wit tails waging and smiles on their faces. They have been exhausted since returning home. I would highly suggest using these guys in you are in the hill towns. I will continued to bring my pups until my other facility is open and use them as a backup or if I don’t wanna make the 45 minute drive to the other one. The other facility is on my way home from work anyways and they let me keep my employee discount. Being a college student that’s helpful. But if money wasn’t part of the equation, I would be just as comfortable leaving my pups at the lodge as I am with the facility I worked for and have been using for 5-6 years. These folks seem to really care about their guests.

Great staff! They really work to maintain safety.
