Kyle and Val were the best housesitters! We came home to a perfectly clean home, well-tended chickens, and very happy dogs. Communication was great at every step of the process. We would welcome these two back anytime! Definitely 5 Star Sitters!
It was a truly heartwarming experience to take care of Ava and Kevin and Anita's home on Bribie Island. Ava is the most gorgeous, gentle, happiest, loving lab and is such a joy to be around. She will make you feel so welcome on the island and loves her walks along the promande, meeting new people, wonder around the food markets or just playing with her toys and relaxing at home. She is a true delight to take care of. Kevin and Anita were equally as welcoming and were so friendly + welll organised. They made the effort to pick me up at the train station, gave me a full tour of the house and left me a complete and detailed document of the house, the tasks, the island and everything that Ava needed. I truly felt at ease in their home as it is very nice, tidy, clean, comfortable house with all the necessary amenities needed for your stay and stunning waterfront views. Thank you Kevin, Anita and beautiful Ava for this wonderful housesit experience! Just like all the other reviews, I wholeheartedly recommend this sit and would definitely love to look after Ava again in the future!

I would HIGHLY recommend Bella to anyone!!! There are no words to describe how wonderful Bella is! I found Bella almost 2 years ago when I first got my dog, Roxy, and ever since she could not be more reliable. She is so great with her and treats her as if she is her own (and her kids love Roxy too!). I know for a fact that she is well taken care of while I am traveling and that makes me feel 1000x better; I don't need to worry about the love she is receiving while I'm away! Bella is always flexible and willing to care for her. Have appreciated Bella and will continuously use her for years to come!
CANNOT RECOMMEND BELLA ENOUGH! We have had Bella take care of our dog for the past 2 years when we go out of town. After a bad experience with a doggy day care center that felt impersonal and cold, Bella was a breath of fresh air. When our dog is with her, he really is a part of the family and I am able to relax while away because I know he’s in great hands. Our dog enjoys playing with her children and even going to work with Bella at the pet hospital. She is able to provide pick up and drop offs, lots of pictures every day as well as some grooming services. Bella is also very flexible and easy to contact. Our dog always returns exhausted and well cared for. Anyone should feel comfortable with their pet in her care. We cannot recommend her enough!
Bella has cared for our two dogs and diabetic cat for over a year now, and she is truly fantastic! She is flexible, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure our fur-babies are happy and healthy. She has accommodated all sorts of issues for us, including last minute schedule changes and medication administration. Our dogs are usually nervous around people, but they always have a great time with Bella. She is also great about keeping us informed and sends plenty of photos after each visit. I cannot recommend her services highly enough - without Bella, we wouldn’t be able to travel nearly as much as we have lately! I am so comfortable with Bella caring for our animals. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!!
Bella is awesome! She’s been watching my dogs for over 3 years now and has always done an amazing job with them. She is very attentive, sends updates often, and offers pick-up and drop-off services. I know that anytime I leave my dogs with Bella and her family they will be well loved and well played with.
Bella did an amazing job taking care of our healthy cat and our sick cat while we were away. She administered medication as prescribed and provided daily updates to the worried pet parents. Bella was lovely to talk with and also took good care of our home. I highly recommend her!
Bella has been wonderful with my pups. In addition to taking great care of them, she keeps me well informed on how their doing by sending pics with every visit including fun selfies. They adore her and it’s very reassuring knowing they are safe while I’m away in travel.
I highly recommend Bella! My little pup, Zoey received the care and attention she needed. Bella is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. It was incredibly helpful and comforting to me knowing Bella is an experienced vet technician since Zoey has some GI sensitivity. I love all the pics and videos Bella sent. She even had Zoey FaceTime me! You will not be disappointed!
We have an indoor/outdoor cat and a couple times a year we go on a weekend trip. C-PUP has always provided great service for our critter and has always been there, even on short notice. They feed our cat, top off or change the water, clean the litter, give some pets and playtime, email us a picture of our cat, and bring our mail and packages inside once a day. They've taken care of our cat when we decided to leave her in the house or outside. They have also kept our garden alive during summer trips by watering for a little extra charge. I would highly recommend C-PUP! We have used their services a couple times a year for the past 5 years or so.
We've been working with C-PUP for dog walking and dog sitting for over a year now. If you are looking for a walker or in-home sitting service, I'll assume that your fur family members are incredibly important to you and you want to make sure they are getting the best care possible. C-PUP provides just that. They are incredibly professional, well-organize, thorough and meticulous when it comes to understanding what your pet needs for care. We have three dogs of various ages, including a senior dog that requires extra-special care and C-PUP is incredibly attentive to all of their different needs. They are wonderfully communicative as well, especially during over-night pet-sitting. Your fur family will be in wonderful hands with C-PUP.
Over the years, all of our cats have been well taken care of by C-Pup. They are a pleasure to work with, trustworthy, and they always keep us posted (text msg and e-mail) on how things are going with our fur babies. Also, for us what is very important is that they are a local neighborhood business. Being local means being able to provide their services quickly.
I LOVE C-PUP! We have used them over the past few years and they are fantastic! Shannon (owner) is very professional, thorough in interviewing dog(s) owner(s), getting detailed information on what the needs and desires are of owners and pets!!! She is incredibly organized and meticulous in ensuring that pets and owners may leave each other with an easy mind. All of her staff have been generous, patient, lovely people who treat us (humans and pets) with great care! A detailed report card is left at each visit outlining the activities our dogs performed, their affect, and notes on the overall visit. We have traveled and used C-PUP for home stays and also as a dog walking service. Our dogs have become so familiar with C-PUP staff that it's as if another family member is with them. Wonderful, wonderful people and service. I can't say enough good things about Shannon and C-PUP! I recommend them to anyone and everyone expressing an interest in pet services. Our dogs love them; we love them!
C-PUP has been walking our two dogs for over 2 years and they both still run to the door to great C-PUP's walkers every time they come to the house. They've been very easy to work with for both their dog walking services and their pet sitting services. C-PUP is super responsive, and incredibly flexible when plans change at the last minute. I can't recommend them enough!!
I have used C-PUP for several years now, and I am pleased and thankful that I can really count on them to provide great care to my pets when I'm out of town! I'm the proud mom of two kitties, and C-PUP has been excellent in their care of the pets. The owner is responsive, the prices are very reasonable and the staff that care for my guys provide a full report upon return, with some personalized notes so you know they are not just in and out, but truly care for your pet, which is priceless. They've always addressed my needs and are very professional. I could not be happier, and relieved that if its not me, its C-PUP!
We have been clients of C-PUP Pet Sitting & Dog Walking for over 7 months and have been consistently pleased with the service provided. Shannon is responsive and professional. Our dog walker, Emily, is terrific. Our dog is always delighted when she arrives for his daily walks and play. We have also used C-PUP at least three times for pet sitting and have no hesitation to continue to do so. Shannon asks for details, such as when we will depart and when we are expected to return. She makes sure we have returned when expected, so our dog is not alone or missing dinner. Shannon's attention to detail gives us peace of mind. We are very satisfied customers and are grateful to have such a terrific provider to help keep our dog happy and healthy and well-exercised. We highly recommend C-PUP.
C-Pup is fantastic! We had someone stay overnight with our pets while we were gone and she did a great job. Typically when I go away I worry about our pets, but with C-Pup we got frequent updates and I knew they were in good hands. When we arrived home our cats and dogs were well-adjusted and excited to see us. I can't imagine going on vacation and having anyone else stay with our pets. I highly recommend C-Pup.
The team at C-PUP has been taking care of my Golden Retriever, Breeze since we brought her home 4 years ago. While my husband and I worked in full-time jobs during the day, we had multiple scheduled walks for her energy level. During that time, Breeze was so well cared for and loved, just as we would have done if we were there. As I transitioned to full-time work from home, I now call on C-PUP for our overnight sitting needs. When we go out of town, whoever stays with Breeze loves her just as much as we do. They provide detailed notes, pictures/updates and take care of any worries we have while we're away. I would recommend any of their services if you wish for your pet to receive the highest quality of care when you can't do it yourself!
We've been using C-PUP to look after our cats for several years, and we've always had an outstanding experience. We get email updates once or twice while we're away. We arrive home to find a written daily log of feeding, meds, visits, etc. I can recommend them without hesitation.
Barking trails has been great!! I have a puppy which can be a challenge for some walkers but Tristan was able to help provide me with a walker for a somewhat difficult little guy. He also provided a sitter for me when I needed it last minute. Barking Trails has been such a great support and they helped me feel at ease with finding a good fit to take care of my pup! I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area seeking a dog sitter/walker.
If my dog could speak, she would tell everyone to let Barking Trails stay over our house every night! Great service, responsible team, and honest people. Dog lovers all around.
If you want a reliable, responsive, and high quality service for your dog, Barking Trails is it! Unlike many other dog walking services where there's a revolving door of strangers coming into the house, with Barking Trails, the dog gets assigned to the same walker in which I love! You get to know who the walker is and your dog gets to really bond with them. Adam is amazing! He's very professional and really loves and cares for all the dogs. I would recommend Barking Trails to everyone! The best dogwalking/petsitting service in the DMV!
We have been using Barking Trails for our 1-year-old French Bulldog, Rex, since September 2016 for 5 walks a week. The Barking Trails staff has been amazing and so accommodating of all of my requests. They are extremely flexible when my schedule changes. Rex love his walker Anna and the owner Tristan. They take such good care of him even though he can be a handful. Their prices are the best in area and I have no complaints about the service. I highly recommend them!
Adam from Barking Trails has been walking my lab for about 4 months and I am so thankful for him! Super professional- when I tried out other dog walkers before him no one else had been prepared with contracts and clear explanations etc. He is always accommodating if my schedule changes and makes sure to update me if his ever changes as well. He even made a big impact on how my dog walks on the leash- he used a couple techniques to get him to stop pulling and made the walks more enjoyable for all of us. Definitely hire Adam and Barking Trails!
Barking Trails is amazing! They have been walking my Sheppard for about 6 months and are always accomodating to my schedule. Easy to work with and very competitive rates. They also have a referral program. $100 cash for every client you refer!! I've signed up 3 of my friends already!! Definitely recommend this great, local company for your dog walking needs!
My husband and I had to find a new dog walking company due to our old dog walker moving in the Fall of 2019. We stumbled upon Barking Trails and are so happy we did. Tristan the owner of the company welcomed our dog Jax with open arms and came to our house personally to introduce us to a dog walker that he thought would be a good fit for us. Tristan and his team are very trustworthy, they come take Jax for 30 minute walks to help get his energy out and they are reasonably priced. They also offer overnight services. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a responsible, dedicated team that will care for and love your dog as much as you do!
Barking trails is the best. They provided care for my-year-old golden retriever all winter, and they were completely responsible, on time, and flexible.. I've had other dog walkers who were not nearly as easy to work with. Most importantly, the walker that worked with Mo quickly established a very good relationship with the puppy.
I reached out to Barking Trails to arrange a walker to help with our chihuahua senior dog who is both deaf and blind and needs special care. They were very professional, friendly and responsive. After the initial meet and greet I knew our dog was in the best hands. Our walker was extremely caring and treated our dog as if he were her own. She was able to do early mornings and accommodate our dogs difficult schedule. She even last minute was able to do nightly stay overs when we were out of the country. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch company with amazing dog walkers!
Our experience with barking trails was great! Our doggy sitter was loving and eased our minds completely about leaving our pup. The whole experience was very professional and easy! I would recommend Barking Trails to anyone who needs dog sitting or walking. Great company doing great things!!!!
