Visiting with Kerry before the sit was like chatting with a friend. Chris welcomed me and showed me the ropes. They have a lovely, comfortable home and you’ll be cozy with Baxter, Juneau, Shady and Bella tucking you into bed. Walking Baxter and Juneau together was a breeze, they politely wait for the other to finish reading the “pee-mail” around the neighborhood, plus there are lovely nature trails very close by for Juneau to use up the energy Baxter doesn’t have. Shady is the consummate lap-lover and Bella is such a sweet character, eye contact will make her start purring! Norway/Paris are charming communities—very walkable, delicious food (don’t miss the gelato!) and Maine-made items at several shops—big props to Handmade Maine for the interesting town history lesson about the snowshoe production & trail recommendations! Kerry also printed out all the information I’d need for their pets, in addition to many recommendations of all varieties (even generously leaving a gift as encouragement to enjoy the local fare)—there was no way to be bored! Four pets can seem like a lot, but this quad were easy companions!
We have just completed a lovely pet/house sit for Clare, Patrick and family looking after 2 dogs Beautiful Bonnie and Sizzle and the two cats Pablo & Noffie. Clare and Patrick have a beautiful house with stunning grounds.. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The ponies Bubbles and Bubble & Squeak we’re in their fields looking very happy and the Livery lady looked after their needs in Clare and Patrick’s absence. We loved waking up to see them each morning and spent many an afternoon /evening just watching them over the garden wall. We took the dogs out for some lovely walks and enjoyed walking around the Gallops which is just stunning. Although we didn’t get to meet Clare and Patrick we had a lovely face time call beforehand and lots of communication during their holiday, We would love to sit again if we were asked. A thoroughly enjoyable pet sit which we would highly recommend. Alison & Roger
BeBe was a delightful and interesting companion during our sit together. I still miss her! She is super independent, yet very interactive and loving when she gets to know you. The cottage is sweet and homey; the setting is peaceful and green while being only 20 minutes to downtown Charlotte. I loved the back deck, and wandering in the yard with BeBe- their lovely flowering plants and trees change with the season, and there is a wonderful array of birds and butterflies as well. Kelly was very clear with instructions, and available to answer questions. They were also very helpful when I had car trouble, and with guiding me through my first close up experience with a hurricane! I definitely recommend sitting for BeBe, Kelly and Richard :)
First let me say how much I love Rico and Ernie. They are two of my favorite cats of all of my sits! You will be entertained and cuddled and they get so excited when it's eating time (even if the food is for you and not them!). I came without a car and the transit is so easy for her neighborhood. I took the streetcar a few blocks away and the 29 bus is only a block away, both going to city and the BART. And then's there the beach, the streetcar goes all the way there and there are some great little restaurants dotting the area. There are stairs to get up to her unit just an FYI. I stored my larger suitcase in the garage so I wouldn't have to carry it up! I would return anytime to one of my favorite cities.
Anne was a wonderful host, she’s kind and friendly and she left excellent instructions on taking care of Luna and the house. She thoughtfully picked me up at the Metro station, and even took me to a Shakespeare in the Park performance the night I arrived. Luna is such a sweet cat. She’s very affectionate, loves to cuddle and loves being brushed. When she goes outside she doesn’t go far, and you can easily encourage her to come inside with a few treats. Anne’s house is in a green, quiet neighborhood with a nice walking trail just steps away. In her backyard I saw birds and rabbits, and one day I saw a deer on her front lawn. I enjoyed the twenty minute walk to town, where there is a Whole Foods Market, a movie theater, and a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as a Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings. The Metro is a short walk further, making a trip to Washington DC’s Museums and sights very easy. I really enjoyed my stay with Luna.
I was so fortunate to be able to Housesit and look after little Ninja and cheeky Marlino while Lucia and Andrea were away. It’s a beautiful home and the cats were adorable. Go slowly with Ninja as she is not as brave as Merlino. My hosts were just fabulous. Picking me up from the airport and taking me out for pizza before we went to their home. Really recommend this couple as perfect hosts who spoilt me with amazing food and wine! I can’t wait to go back😁

Genuine caring Dr and staff. Always feel so trusting in their care and services. We have used this location since their opening and often share our good experiences with others. Sarah and Dr P are gems!! They care for your dog as if it was their own. DiMaggio approved! Enough said.
Tito always loves visiting pet paradise. The staff of always very attentive. Recently we had a death in the family and Tito was experiencing a lot of grief and not eating properly when I am not around. The staff follow my exact instruction and made sure he was eating. Showing him extra attention and giving him the comfort of what he needs. When I picked him up, he seemed to be very well taken care of and explained his full eating schedule of when he passed up a meal and they made sure to give him a re-feed later in the day to assure that he got all his meals and nutrition in.
My German shepherd had the best time! The only complaint I had is that he came home limping. After bathing and looking at his back paws I noticed both rear paw pads appeared to be burned or cut to raw skin. NOT knowing about astro turf, this should have been communicated when making the appt. Had I known that this would happen, I would have only let him stay a few hours. Now my very active dog can bearly walk until his paws heal. Upon calling the next morning Gee Gee explained that astro turf can be rough and that they usually put Mushers on the paws.. but that wasn't the case with Koda.. A sign at the reception area would have been helpful!
Dropped off two happy and healthy dogs and picked up two happy and healthy dogs. Couldn’t ask for more than that! The staff was excellent and we loved being able to check out the cams to see how the pups were doing. It’s a huge relief to know that we have somewhere safe that we can trust to take care of our dogs while we’re away.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE if you have an anxious baby. I have a German shepherd that loves to play with other dogs but is very vocal. I take him to the park and he plays with my mom’s 5 lbs puppy and other big dogs on the regular. He is quite literally a gentle giant. But because of the way these people “introduce” dogs to others he’s been deemed unfit for Group play. Might I add he’s been to 3 other daycare/boarding facilities that he is able to play freely in groups with zero problems. He has even been used in a trial with another dog that was new coming in. We even showed them multiple videos of him playing at parks and in another boarding facility with 10+ dogs. After telling them that he won’t react well with how they introduced him the first time, they proceed to do the standard “introduction” (if that’s what you want to call this) and put him on a leash behind a fence with a group of loud dogs on the other side of the fence…… huh??? How would your dog react to that if they are vocal and feel threatened?? Unprofessional and very disappointing. The fact that large dogs get discriminated against when they are vocal is really sad. My dog is literally the biggest lover.
Great place , fully staffed.finally found a place where my baby is well taken care of and gets to play with other dogs , he falls asleep right away when I pick him up after work, so I know he’s a happy pup. Excellent staff! Great communication with their customers
Buyer beware! If I can give this place negative stars I would. This place has obviously gone downhill. I usually don’t comment on these forums but this struck a nerve. It has been three weeks since our dog has been with PetParadise and just now we are getting her back to normal. She went in healthy and came out with two massive ear infections and bacterial skin infection. So, after $1500 of vet bills and care we have decided to never take her back to this establishment. You’ve been warned.
I’m new to the area and wanted to be familiar with good boarding. Because my dog is a very healthy and playful 15, he was basically not welcome because of his age. Even though this place is quite expensive we were willing to give it a chance. The vet on duty made it clear they were not an animal hospital. Not very professional.
I just love Pet Paradise and the staff is so very friendly. They treat the pets so very special and it’s the perfect name because Paradise it is I love the feeling when I walk in actually I love the feeling when I’m first driving up and I see the place I love it When take my dog any other place I don’t live close. I found this place about three months ago and I don’t mind traveling to take my dog there. It’s an awesome place. I recommended highly very clean. Staff is professional awesome and I love my dog she’s terrific. Blessings to them all . 💯👍🏽🙏🏽😍
Enzo loves his friends at Pet Paradise. We know he is always in good care while he is there for day camp! He gets so excited when we arrive. We trust everyone at Pet Paradise with our Enzo!
my dog absolutely loves coming in for daycare! i’ve been bringing her for 2 years and the staff always greets her when she comes in! she has so many friends and the staff is more than willing to send updates and pictures!
Fin loved his time there! I was nervous to take him anywhere but those fears were gone the minute I got there. A bit of backstory- Fin is a 13 year old Schnauzer. Until a few months ago, Fin spent every moment of his life with his blood brother Henry. They were born together, came home together and were always side by side. Fin has always been the protective one, the louder one when strangers or other dogs were around and Henry was the sweeter, friendlier one. Sadly, after a few medical issues, Henry recently passed. And it was tough on all of us, including Fin. So when I made plans to go out of town for the weekend, I was a bit hesitant. He’d never done anything like this before and I was nervous how he’d be with people or dogs he’d never met. I’ve been told from the vet and groomer that when he’s alone and around other dogs he’s a very nice gentleman. So I hoped he would be there as well. And they told me he was! They told me he did very good and I credit them for doing so! He had a wonderful time and everyone did a wonderful job. He came home clean and then sent me photos of him nightly which put our minds at ease. I would receive to anyone looking to board their loved pups!
This was my new puppy, Bennie’s, first visit at Woofdorf which came highly recommended he LOVED it. And came home with an adorable paw print craft too. Kelsie and Payton were amazing at the front desk and treated Bennie so lovingly. Can’t wait for him to go back to Woofdorf Astoria! What a lovely facility and staff.
My dog loves coming here for day care . I know this , since I can watch her on the cameras . It's a good group of dogs and there's always a person or two watching over them . The staff are friendly and put up with my dogs bad manners. Id recommend them for boarding or day care . They also do some grooming while you pet is there if needed. Nice !
Picked up my dogs after staying for 2 nights and was disgusted to find them both wreaking of urine and their beds completely saturated with urine. Our dogs have never made a mess in the house. This is completely out of character for our dogs. I asked when they were taken out to use the ‘potty’, I was told, “they were supposed to be taken out an hour ago.” When the employee handed them over to me for the first time, they both were clawing at the door. . I took em outside and they each ran to the grass at the property (Woofdorf) to poop and pee. It is clear to me they were not walked every 4 hours as we were told. Our dogs are used to being inside for several hours (while we are at work) for over a decade and have never had an issue like this. It is obvious they have been neglected and we are truly disappointed. After a long day of traveling— our dogs have no beds, had to bathe them twice to get the smell of urine out, clean my car and home. I would recommend avoiding this place.
We went out of town and my mother was watching our dog Nelson - which was a tremendous feat for her since he weighs about 75 pounds and she barely weighs more than that. She took him to the Woofdorf Astoria for play days while we were gone and it was terrific. They took such good care of him and he seemed to have a great time. It made it so much easier for her and she felt like they really cared about Nelson. We will definitely be using their services in the future!
our german shepherd whiskey loves it here! friendly informed staff, and easy process. i never have to worry about leaving our pup for daycare / boarding at this facility. the best in the area 🤍 …
My pet PIA absolutely LOVES going to Woofdorf Astoria. Last year was a bad year of illnesses and other issues for her off and on and she’s had no desire to want to do anything. I started to see her light shine again a “little” before the holidays approached and thought she was getting better. Here we are now in the new year of 2024 and she’s in a bit of a funk after a recent dog attack and wouldn’t snap out of it emotionally. It’s so upsetting to see your pet depressed and not wanting to play with their toys, interact in any way or to even take a walk. I decided to bring her back to WA yesterday to see if not only the staff would pick up her spirits but her doggie pals as well. WHAT A GAME CHANGER!! I received pics from the staff with her playing with her friends and having a great time and I too kept an eye on her on my cell thru their web cam. She was doing better than I anticipated. Her light shines “bright” again after just one visit, she is smiling a lot more and I have a very grateful heart. Thank you Woofdorf Astoria and your friendly, dedicated and loving staff for taking such good care of my little girl. If I could, I would give you 10 stars! GOD bless you all!! AR
We moved here 3 years ago and started taking Holly and Luna to Woofdorf as it was close to our home. Luckily, they are amazing! Our dogs love it there. Our oldest Holly passed away a few months ago and the staff put a picture of her in the office and sent a lovely sympathy card with everyone saying such kind things. It meant a lot. Luna was a little apprehensive at first going by herself, but the folks there made her comfortable. Thanks for all you do for our dogs! Your care is much appreciated.
I so highly recommend this boarding and daycare facility! Thank you to everyone at Woofdorf Astoria of LR. Our Gracie has never done well with Boarding. She always came home stressed and often with digestion problems. She has boarded now 4 times with them and done great! She is tired when she gets home but otherwise fine. I attribute that to the great care of the caregivers and 24 hour people in attendance. Really great place to keep your dog safe! ❤️
We love Shagri-La Pet Resort! My dogs, Patrick and Magnolia actually run out of the car and into the building just to see everyone. They LOVE the girls!!! When we pick them up they smell amazing from their baths and they are very happy! When Hurricane Milton happened, we didn’t have power and we had to leave our home. We didn’t have any other option. Their team took in our dogs and made sure they were safe, even though they were also going through their own issues during the storm. We are so grateful for their service and the amount of care they put into their business. My mom also brings her dogs there and loves them! Highly highly recommend!
My puppy stayed at this resort for a week when I dropped her off she was so nervous but when I picked her up she was so happy you can just tell she had an amazing time and she loved everyone, she was very happy going up to the staff for pets, we will be back for any future boarding. Thank you for being so awesome!!
We have left our 2 German shepherds with Shangri-La a bunch of times, and every time, the pups are happy! The girls working there are amazing, sweet, and you can tell they love the pets they care for. Best place around for sure! Kona, Kratos and family thank you for your kindness, and recommend them to everyone!
Our pups boarded for a few nights with Shagri-La and came home very happy. I wish that I could leave them a 5 star review however, the owner took it upon himself/his staff to not stick to the one thing we asked them not to do during our pets stay. Our Dalmatian has been VERY food aggressive with our smaller dog in the past. We asked upon making the reservation if he could be separated for meals and were told it was no problem. When we dropped them off, the owner seemed to be slightly annoyed that we were asking for him to be separated at meal time but said he would give him 15 minutes to eat then take the food up. When we picked them up I asked how their time there had been. The owner stated it was good and said “the Dalmatian isn’t as food aggressive as you might think. We left the food out for them and they did great.” I am extremely thankful that nothing happened but am very upset that they took this risk without so much as a phone call to us. We have had our Dalmatian since he was 8 weeks old and know our dogs well. This was not a decision that should have been made by a boarder and because of this we will never use Shagri-La again.
Jeff and his team are the BEST!! My pup has been going there for 5 years and when we turn down the bumpy road, he gets super excited. I hate leaving my pup, but I’m so thankful to have such a great place to care for him when I’m gone.
Excellent place! This is going to be the only kennel I bring my GSD moving forward! She came home very happy! I paid extra for a couple of swims, which she loved, and I was also impressed by the bath she was given. Very large kennels, very clean, and friendly staff.
Really cared for my dog when I had to go away and I've used them numerous times and they are always friendly and very reasonable
First boarding experience anywhere with our career changed guide-dog pup so I was a bit nervous. All in all, he came home safe and happy as a clam. The rates are reasonable, the building looked super clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. What more could you ask for?
This place is nice. I felt very comfortable leaving my one year-old rat terrier here I dealt with Jeff he was very nice and accommodating explained everything what I loved about the place is my dog was in her own safe space always I didn’t have to worry about her getting attacked. by any other dogs when they let them out individually, they can run and play and still see the other dogs in their own space I highly recommend this place.
Even though there was a mix up with the reservation, they were gracious enough to board my Auggie. He also got a nice bath before coming home at a very reasonable price. I will recommend.
I am so thankful for this service. I could tell from the "meet and greet" that Dawn and her family were going to be wonderful with Dolly and give her lots of attention. We had left her at a kennel one time and she came home depressed for a few days. When we picked Dolly up from Dawn, she was her normal, happy self. I could tell that she was comfortable staying there and I am sure they took great care of her. We will definitely use this service again.
Dana has been our pet sitter for the past two years. We love her!! She takes care of our girls as if they were her own. Cats can be particular about who they trust , our Raya and Savannah love when Dana cat sits . Dana spends time playing, petting , and handing out treats . She sends us photos so we know our girls are adjusting fine when we are away. We are so thankful for Dana’s professional care. She has allowed us to have peace of mind while we are traveling!
We love Dana so much!!!! Our dogs love her probably more than us LOL. She spoils our boys too much! In all seriousness she is amazing, trustworthy, and an honest hardworking woman! Highly recommended! Five stars!
The owner, Dana, is the best! My dogs love her! They are always excited to see her and she always gives my dogs the upmost care! I trust her 100%! Thank you so much for loving my dogs! It is truly your calling!
Dana is so amazing with all my pets! From dogs to cats! She is a god sent angel from heaven. She truly loves animals so much and goes out of her way to go above and beyond for her clients!
Dana was a godsend to us when we recently moved to Bradenton! We were looking for someone to train our rescue dog, Charlie, who has some unique issues with resource guarding and getting along with other dogs to name a few. Dana has done an amazing job and has gone out of her way to personalize a training plan for Charlie that is working! She is a wealth of knowledge, has a passion for animals, is reliable and dependable, and Charlie loves her! So do our 3 cats! We plan to have her do pet setting for us, she even does overnights! I highly recommend!
Dana was awesome helping us train our rescue dog, Nola. Dana was kind, patient, gave us lots of tips and was constantly sending us videos and articles to assist with the training at home. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone for training your dog. She's the best and extremely affordable. She even comes to your house which really helped to have Nola in her own comfortable environment.
so, I met Dana when we got our new puppy who was only nine weeks old and has been with us every week since and he is now seven months old! She is fantastic with him, and I know Juno just loves her. She has helped us out so much with Juno‘s training and helps to break up the days that my husband and I are at work. What a great service to offer, these drop ins! I trust her immensely and she is just a genuinely a great person ❤️🐶
Dana is...absolutely one of a kind. There aren't enough words to express how wonderful she is. If you're looking for someone who doesn't JUST walk your dog(s) but connects with them, builds their confidence, and loves them wholly then you've met your match. My husband and I desperately needed a dog walker who could handle our 3 rowdy pups of all different breeds, walk styles, and temperaments (and who are on the stranger danger side!). Dana was more than happy to do a meet and greet with them. They're bit challenging but Dana reassured us she loves a good challenge and all three seem to adore her so much. She responsive, is always willing to answer your questions, and sends so many updates of their walks! Really couldn't ask for a more perfect match. She does have a busy and jam packed schedule so if you want her, gotta reach out to her asap!!
Dana is exceptionally responsible and communicative. While Dana is with our dog Coco, she sends updates and photos so we know all about the day’s fun. Coco is in the safest of care with Dana and absolutely adores her. We are really lucky to have found Dana.
Dana is the most hardworking, caring, and thoughtful person I have met. She has done outstanding work with our two dogs and our cat. The training she has done with them has helped us out so much, she was even able to teach me, my mom, and our 12 year old dog some new tricks and brings his puppy energy back out every-time he sees her. She cares about our pets like they are her own. I do not know what we would do without her.
We are so happy to have found AAA Pet Resort for our sweet Finley! Natalya and the entire staff are caring and wonderful. Finley can run and play with other dogs in an open space and loves it there, thank you!!
Missy the Husky mix loves the resort! She is very social, and wanted a facility where she is free to mix with other dogs, and give her the exercise she requires a one year old! The staff is very nice and Missy has done very well there. Highly recommended!
This is the best dog boarding place around! Highly recommend AAA Pet Resort! And my dog loves it there too! He gets to run around for hours if he wants!!!
The individual board and train program is outstanding! We brought our 5-year old Mini Schnauzer that was very aggressive towards anything that moved. The training was excellent and I am very happy with the results. She is now very calm and is a very different dog. Everyone at AAA Pet Resort has a passion for caring for dogs and love the way they use positive training methods that reinforce what they learn. Definitively recommend them 100%!!
We have two beautiful fur babies. Honey and Izzy needed Jorge and Brian at AAA Pet Resort! They took in our two fur babies for two week training. Plus Jorge had already been to our house for follow up training! They are amazing! Everyone at AAA Pet Resort was kind, thoughtful and professional!!! We highly recommend them for training, boarding and grooming!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We absolutely love AAA Pet Resort. We use them for boarding, day play, and grooming. The team knows our dog Nero and he is over the moon every time he gets to go there. Not only are they caring, they are also professional dog trainers that willinfly provide tips and guidance to help us with our dog at home. Our family highly recommends AAA Pet Resort!
Our dog LOVES both daycare and boarding with AAA. Lots of room to run and play, with added services like washes, nail clipping and Agility training. Wonderful place to leave your pet.
My dog Charlie Brown has been going for years to AAA Pet Resort with a recent short break in his visits due to personal reasons. I have to talk about his excitement last week while dropping him off for boarding, when he realized he was getting closer to this very special place for him, he couldn’t contain himself and it was very easy to tell his bark was just pure excitement wanting to get out of my truck to say hello to Natalya and her team. It filled my heart to see him this happy!!
Have taken my dogs there for day care and now using them for training. Jorge has been fantastic with my dogs. They have learned to walk easily for me without pulling which given the two of them weigh about 2/3 of my weight has been a life saver. They listen to me now and behave even around strangers. They love coming here and adore Jorge. He is so good with the dogs and really loves all dogs. He also worked with me as to how to train them at home and what not to do. Worth every penny for the training. I recommend the training to anyone. It is such a relief to have well trained dogs who listen. I also like the day care and so do my dogs.
I can't say enough good things about AAA pet resort!!! After touring the facility and meeting staff members I felt extremely comfortable leaving our 4 month old frenchie with them for doggy daycare. Our puppy loves it there and is excited as soon as we pull into the driveway! He's always happy and well cared for. We've used them for an overnight stay and felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. They are very personalbe and truly love the animals.
I absolutely love taking my dog here. Otis was super shy and unsure in the beginning and they were so patient with him. We started out with one hour one day a week and slowly built his comfort level up. It wasn’t long before camp became his favorite place to be. Now he would go all day every day if he could. He is so happy and exhausted when he gets home. It is a win win for both of us.
We rented a sniff spot twice from them with my dobie and my daughter’s dobie . Wonderful place and soo much fun
Sniff Spot Review (not daycamp review) Really nice property! Had everything we needed.. chairs, shade, kiddie pools and a hose for the dog, water buckets, toys, and a picnic table outside of the play yards. My dog hasn’t had a big yard in years, and she isn’t comfortable around other dogs, she had the craziest zoomies ever from finally being in a big yard. I’m really happy I found this place, I’m going to come here all the time. Planning to come again and bring some family members and their dogs for a big play date. Really good area for dog aggressive or selective pups like mine.
Heike and her family and staff are wonderful. This is very different than the typical Doggie Daycare. This is a more intimate setting where a highly trained group of people help nurture our dogs to be socially interactive to the extent they are able and to recognize their limitations.
We rented space for an hour for our greyhounds to run together on a Sunday. This facility is great, and highly recommend
Four Paws Doggie Day Camp is our dogs happiest place on earth! They have pools & umbrellas for the heat. They offer baths and nail trimming! Heike and her staff are the best! They really like what they do & it shows!
AMAZING place for happy, super safe and clean doggie fun. Pups of all breeds and sizes are vetted for personality and health and then matched with compatible dogs in 4 huge, beautiful, fenced fields for hours of freedom - to run, to play, to rest and cool down in kiddie pools and large shaded areas in each field. Heike and Margie and crew look after all the dogs all the time, making sure everyone is safe and comfortable, Even the grass is natural and pesticide free. I love this place! The staff is trained in animal behavior and interacts constantly with the dogs. Best place by far for our pup and the lucky others who have found this gem in Bradenton! NEW: HERE we are a year into our life at Four Paws and always more and more impressed. The staff is so terrific, responsive, playful and watchful of dogs. Four Paws gives pups the ability to be dogs but with kindness always in mind - those things make this place so special. Clemmie loves it here, it is her special treat every time we come and it never disappoints. You can see how happy the caregivers are, they really do love and believe in the caretaking they do and all have tons of experience with every breed and encourage best behavior. I am always confident that my pup will stay healthy, happy and active here and more content when she returns home. Thank you, Four Paws!
We looked at 4 or 5 different doggie day camps before finding Four Paws. Many of the other camps did not allow tours and had no camera surveillance so I stayed clear of those. At Four Paws, we immediately fell in love with the place. It is literally like sending your child to day care. Our little guy gets so excited when we arrive that we know how happy he is. Dogs get a lot of out door play time without a leash and they are clean when you pick them up. The best doggie day camp in town. We are so happy with found Four Paws. Safe, friendly and loving environment for our little guy.
I highly recommend Four Paws Doggie Day Camp. Our Rudy has matured, learned better dog manners, and become more content at home since he has been spending two days a week there running and playing with his fellow four-leggeds. And my husband and I have some guilt-free time to spend together or to pursue our own interests. The staff, led by owner Heike, are loving and kind, vigilant caretakers. They are advised by a professional dog behaviorist/trainer. Safety is a priority. New dogs are vetted before being accepted. Dogs play in different pastures according to their size and temperaments. Plenty of shade and kiddie pools keep them cool. They are moved to safer shelter in stormy weather. In addition to daycare, Four Paws offers baths and nail trimming. All of this for very reasonable rates. For us, it has been an investment that has paid off well for our whole family’s quality of life.
This place is a gem. Our puppy boy loves going here more than being at our house. Everyone who works here is caring, genuine, and friendly. What I love most is that I don’t have to worry about my dog being pinned up all day and that they are properly getting looked after. We go out of our way at times to get our puppy here because it’s that great of a place. He’s part of the family. He belongs. And there’s not anything more we could ask for.
I’ve taken our Finley to Around the Ranch for daycare and for boarding. What a great experience we have there! This place is amazing. Chris the owner plays with and takes great care of the dogs on their beautiful property. The pond is a favorite for my pup! He’s exhausted when his day is done but what a great time he had! Chris sends pics and updates on how his day is going. Such piece of mind when he’s there. Thanks Chris for loving our Finn. It’s obvious you really care.
Talk about a blessing!! We can't say enough good things about Around the Ranch Pet Club. The facility is spotless and the fenced yard gives the pups plenty of room to run and play. They even have a pond (behind the fence, so no worries about gators) that allows for cooling down water play! We would not trust our dog Loki with ANYONE else. Getting daily updates during overnight stays keeps our minds at ease and brightens our day when we receive them. Already reserved a few upcoming stays and I am completely at ease knowing he will be taken care of while we are away.
We used Natalie to watch our two babies for overnight and daily sitting for two weeks and could not have found a better or reliable sitter anywhere. Some of our neighbors are spreading the news about how great she was with the kids (pups). They also have asked for phone number to Around the Ranch Pet Club for future use. This has to be the most professional pet service anywhere, you can put all of your worries or concerns behind you. With the daily updates and pictures we received we knew our boys were in excellent hands. We will definitely use you again!
We are so pleased with the professionalism and warmth that "Around the Ranch" pet sitters provide our pets. They are reliable, loving animal lovers who take special care to meet the needs of our elderly dog and cat. Through hurricanes and holidays and even sick pets, they never miss a visit or an opportunity to go above and beyond to make sure our pets are healthy and safe and cared for. We highly recommend their services.
I would definitely recommend Around the Ranch Pet Club. Chris did a wonderful job of taking care of my two cats. She sent me updates with photos every day. There were no problems when I came home. I plan to use her again when I go away.
Christine is AMAZING. We have a high energy puppy, that is just over a year old when she first kept him for us. She took him on walks and he played with other dogs and had a blast. She sent updates daily and is super fast to respond when I would send a message. Made it so nice to NOT worry at all about our pet while away.
Absolutely excellent service by experienced professionals. We trust them with our pet care and our home, which says a lot about how great they are. Highly recommend!
For those of you in the Lakewood Ranch area who need "Pet Sitters" I would highly recommend Around the Ranch Pet Club. Christine and her crew are so thoughtful, responsive and caring. We always feel comfortable and at ease that all of our pets are well cared for when we're gone. Good pricing, GREAT people and always have your pets as their first concern. We have used them for years and each visit is thorough and no problems. Give them your trust. You won't be disappointed!
Around the Ranch Pet Club has been doing a fantastic job of taking care of our pets! If only they had been the first pet care company we tried! Even when our 20 year old cat needed emergency veterinary care and we were eight hours away, the sitter took care of getting her to the vet while we drove immediately home. We highly recommend them!
I am lucky enough to be able to give my Service Dog Riley days off, to be "just a dog". To know and trust that he is in a safe environment, with a very large, grassy, outside fenced in area, with a with a built-in water feature, where the dogs can play and run, while under the caring, competent, professional, and consistent watch of Christine, the owner of Around the Ranch, is such a gift. The large indoor area where the dogs can rest when needed (or play when the weather outside isn't playing very nicely), is very clean. I feel so lucky to have found such a special place, and such a special person, to watch my very special dog. I promise you will, too!
Pooches Plus is the best! My dog is very timid and just loves Teryn and Tony! I am sooo happy to have found them. They treat Our dog Nike as if she was their own! If yiu want your pet loved and well taken care of then Pooch’s Plus is just the place you want to go! 10 stars!! They even do a little photo shoot with her. Sooo adorable!
We are so thankful to find Poochs Plus! I feel so good knowing my dogs are in such great hands. The location is convenient from 75, plenty of room for the dogs to run, and lots of love! Plus, who wouldn’t love to get pictures like this while they’re away 💗💗 …
Can not say enough! Owner is lovely, treats our pet as her own. Send pics most every day and keep you updated if you desire. Trust implicitly and very affordable as well!
They take such great care of our dogs. Have been dropping the dogs off there for several years now. They actually spend time with the animals
My dog seemed to love it here...on her second visit she started getting excited as soon as we pulled in the driveway. I highly recommend Pooch plus Pet Lodge.
We love this place! And so does our dog Benji. They are very flexible and very kind and loving to our dog. They always have toys and treats for him and give them more love than any other establishment we’ve taken him to.
I Would recommend leaving your dogs there when going away. Colleen is very knowledgable about dogs and She is also a judge in dog shows.
Large outside play area, lots of daily exercise, responsible owners that truly care for the animals and give one on one loving daily. Flexible schedule, reasonable pricing, and excellent communication via text or calls. Our dogs love staying at Pooch's & I highly recommend.
Honest people with an even bigger passion for animals. My dog fell in love there first day!
We have been using Pooches to watch our dogs for many years. The owner is so sweet and caring. Our dogs jump out of the suv and can't wait to see her.
All I can say is this place admitted having NO management. They put small dogs outside at 93 degrees and Peppy became dehydrated. Tomorrow he is to be tested for organ damage. He can’t keep his food down and he does mother but lay around when he used to be a high strung 12 month old puppy that loved to play with other dogs.
This facility lacks attention to the needs of the pets entrusted to their care. In addition, they charge a high price for boarding services while delivering minimal value. Recommend you keep searching for other long term boarding options for your pet.
Thank you so much to the team at pet suites for caring for our fur babies. They have so many ways to communicate we loved talking with the staff and seeing our fur friends via camera daily. We will be back soon
I called once and texted twice on Monday 10/28 to see if I could bring my 2 dogs to doggie day care on Tuesday. I never heard back, so I had to change my plans for Tuesday. I also had purchased a package and received an email that I was about to lose my "points" ($$ to me) if I didn't use it by 10/30! Well I am not happy as I bring my girls there often and they love it (I hope). We did have 2 storms that also prevented me from trying to use up my package....not sure I will buy another package if the rules are so strict. I would like to have sent a message to a "boss", but this seems to be only way I see to contact PetSuites
I called at 7:30 pm and asked if I got there a few minutes before 8pm(when they close) could I pick up my dogs. I was told no I couldn’t pick them up after 7:30. I know it takes time to get them ready for pick up and that is why I called. So this morning when I went to pick them up I asked when is the latest I could pick them up they said 8. I boarded my dogs because I had a funeral to go to out of state(they didn’t know this) and we have a threat of a hurricane tomorrow so you would think a little grace would be given because of the storm but no. So given the 2 different answers makes me wonder if it’s a training issue or was I lied to?
Groomer Amy is fantastic. We have an Australian terrier named Griffey. We tried many different groomers in the area. Griffey was a very challenging to groom. Initially we had to medicate him on his groom day. Amy worked with him several times and then requested that I not medicate him. That was 1 year ago. He goes in very scruffy and comes home a prince. He also uses the play day services. He plays hard and comes home tired. My husband and I would highly recommend Amy as a groomer and the staff at pet suites
The Ritz Carlton of Doggie Stays! Amy has been great with letting us know what services they can provide for our hard to care for dogs! Thank you for respecting our vacation time and for caring for them so well!
Wanted to follow up on a new review- PetSuites Bradenton has improved dramatically! I am seeing a change in how the staff have stepped up their customer service. Management has made a course correction and it shows. Staff greets customers now (instead of being grumpy all the time). The change is infectious- customers and pets are happy to come over and when I pick up my dog, she’s in a good mood just like when I drop her off. I’m very happy that PetSuites are listening to customers and making those changes stick. I also see that the new team members are attentive and engaging. Makes a big difference when you get team members that actually want to do their job and not act like they’re annoyed by everything.
Just don’t bring your pet here until they have proper staffing. I never leave reviews because I don’t like trashing companies but when it comes to my dogs, that’s a different story. I don’t want other dog owners bringing their dogs here and having a bad experience like I did. Dropped my dogs off yesterday for their first day, one girl working the front desk , line out the door. Not her fault the place doesn’t have adequate staff. Took 25 minutes for check in. This is where I got mad and concerned. I picked them up 6 hours later and asked if they had fun/ played/ ate… the girl said “she had nothing to do with them.” ….what?? Then she brought them out and I asked if they had play time and she said, “I think they went outside, not sure”. I wanted to flip out. So I brought my dogs to a place for them to sit in a kennel for 6 hours…? They got in the car and chugged water so fast. Then I got a text after I reached out to the only person communicating with me throughout the day, TELLING ME THE DAYCARE WAS CLOSED bc of lack of staff!!!!!! I wanted to scream. Just tell me that before so I don’t waste my time driving there!! There were also a ton of dogs howling and crying in the back. I’m glad my dogs are safe but I’m now concerned about all these other dogs there. It was just so chaotic and unprofessional. The groomer was really nice though, she was the only one helping in the morning. I'm waiting for a call from management which I’m not sure is happening. I’m not messing around when it comes to the care of animals.
Our dogs had a great stay. They were happy coming home and smelled clean and fresh. Their weight was well maintained, and had received a good “paw-gress” report. The price was extremely reasonable, and we received an unexpected multi-pet discount. We will continue to choose PetSuites for our future needs.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience with April (Sweet Paws & Pads) watching Peaches this Labor Day Weekend. She welcomed Peaches into her home for Private PUPPY Boarding with Peaches immediately making a new friend, 'Maui'. Peaches looked so happy every time we received photos and updates from April. From 'Luxury' Boarding (our definition of her experience) Peaches received to our peace of mind, we highly recommend Sweet Paws & Pads if you need someone to watch your pet!!
We are so happy to have found Sweet Paws and Pads! Our puppy has a brilliant time during her visits. We receive a helpful summary of the visit and photos! We feel comfortable, and reassured with this company! Thank you to the caring staff! We will be using Sweet Paws and Pads again.
I cannot tell you enough what a great group of people work for Sweet Paws and Pads. They are true dog lovers. First time I ever left my dogs home alone and we were so happy that we didn't have to kennel them. We got great updates for every single visit, including plenty of pictures. They were well taken care of. Will always use them in the future. Thank you team!!!
I would highly recommend Sweet Paws & Pads to anyone who needs a reliable and caring pet sitter. Apil was amazing with getting Jax on their schedule on short notice. They are not only good at their job, but they also love animals and treat them as their own. Jax absolutely loves it when Melissa comes to visit him and can't wait to see her again. Thank you, Sweet Paws & Pads, for taking such good care of my furry son!
We love Sweet Paws and Pads! They have turned our mini weekend getaways into the most convenient! Our pups, love them! The unique way they have turned pet sitting into a very special experience for their customers and pets is very special! The effort they put into every detail doesn’t go unnoticed as a pet owner. Their efforts have exceeded my expectations! April and her staff are top notch
We have been struggling to find dependable and communicative pet sitters in the area and after our first experience using Sweet Paws and Pads, we will be using them every time we are out of town. Sweet Paws and Pads went far beyond our expectations for a pet sitter and would highly recommend them to everyone we know!
Sweet Paws and Pads stayed with my little zoo for a weekend. They showed up on time, sent lots of pictures, my dogs and cats seemed very happy to have them there. We had them stay overnight and everything was perfect when we got home. Great communication and they were excellent with my little zoo. We will use them again!!
Sweet Paws & Pads did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for 5 days while we were out of town. The consistent updates and pictures were so helpful! Their team makes your pet a priority and our family had the utmost comfort our dog was in great care. We'll definitely use Sweet Paws & Pads for future pet care needs! Thank you again!
I wish I could give more than 5* for Sweet Paws & Pads!! I travel frequently and they are always available - even at the last minute - to come take care of my pups. They have a wide variety of services which allows me to customize the care of my pups no matter the situation. I love getting the photo updates and knowing my fur babies are being well taken care of while I am away. I can’t recommend April and her team enough…they are the absolute best ❤️🐶🐾
I just started using SPP's dog walking services! They are awesome! They did a great job communicating with me before, during and after the services. I love the detailed report with stats, summary and photos. Their team did a great job taking care of my goldendoodle! I'd strongly recommend them!
