We met Cindy and Mike via zoom prior to our sit and then joined them for a delicious homemade dinner to get to know each other on the evening of their departure. Both the meal and the conversation were awesome! Cindy and Mike are kind, genuine, great conversation and were excellent communicators throughout our stay. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and walking distance to a huge park where we took Skipper at least once a day for a long walk. The house is very comfortable. Our room had an ensuite bathroom and the bed was awesome. This is one of the most livable homes we've had the opportunity to sit and the kitchen is most definitely the most well equipped. Skipper... oh Skipper! She's the real star of the show here for sure. Her sweet personality, excellent communication skills and awesome snuggles are just the start of a very long list of reasons we fell in love with her. She's hilarious, sensitive, goofy and relaxed, and though she loves to spend time engaging, walking and playing, she also enjoys her personal time which makes her very easy to sit. She came with us to visit friends and out to (outdoor) restaurants without any difficulty. She travels in her little carrier quietly and loves to be with people. Skipper slept through the night in her kennel in our room and never once work us up. She'd go out for a potty break first thing in the morning in the front yard and then would run back and join us for some morning snuggles on the bed (Cindy said she might). Sometimes we'd fall asleep together, sometimes it would turn into a comedy routine. Skipper eats when she's hungry and loves her treats. She'll enthusiastically walk as far as you want to go, loves running laps in the driveway, and she takes the cake as the most fun dog we've gotten to sit so far. We'd come back to this awesome sit again and again if given the chance!
This was a wonderful sit in a very pleasant area in Eynsham. The family who entrusted me to care for there pets were very welcoming when I arrived the night before they flew off to visit there family members in New Zealand. I was very comfortable in perhaps the best bed I have enjoyed so far in my 3 years with Trusted. The home was well set out with areas for all use's a games/computer/office room, TV room, very large lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, large entrance hall very light due to a lot of glass, in fact the whole home was bathed with natural light. Upstairs large bedrooms, large walk in shower/bath/wc. I spent a very quiet Christmas but managed a traditional Christmas dinner but wasted a lot of left overs. Did not manage any fishing but this was due partially my own fault for poor research before I went, next time, I hope to return, I will have my home work done.
This was the most wonderful sit. A privilege to spend time at Ginny and Peters beautiful home. Agnes the cat is a great companion and easy to look after as are the chickens and alpacas. Ginny left detailed instructions and replied if I had any questions during the sit. The home is located close to Windsor, Ascot and the Great Park, super to explore straight from the house if you want to. Without doubt, one of the nicest sits I have had the pleasure of doing and would return in a heart beat should the opportunity arise.
Sophie & Danny, thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your home in Torquay. We had an amazing time looking after Luna and Terra. Their girls are so adaroble, playful and loving. It's impossible not to fall in the love with them. They both warmed up to us after a day or two and then enjoyed lots of head scratches, cuddles and most of all playtime with their favourite toys!! Despite us not being able to meet before the handover, we had great communication, before, and during the sit, and it was so nice to be able to meet them both on their return trip home. They are both lovely and kind people, and even gave us a lift down to our next stay. (THANK YOU!!) The house and location itself is perfect, very close to the train station and has many regular buses going into the nearby towns. Torbay is a lovely seaside town, where you can enjoy long walks by the beach, ice cream and of course fish and chips!! We would 100% recommend house sitting here if you get the opportunity to do so. Thank you Sophie and Danny for an amazing stay. Natalie & Long
Muze is an incredibly sweet, well-behaved and beautiful dog. Although she is big, she is calm and loving. Our children (9 and 11) adored her and she was very sweet with them. She was great for going on runs or long walks in the area and she was also happy to hop in the car for an expedition. The house is spacious and comfortable, very clean and beautiful. It is located walking distance to the small village center of Huldenberg which has a grocery store, pharmacy, post office and a few restaurants. It is a 30 minute drive to Brussels. We loved meeting Erik and his son and were very grateful for the opportunity! Highly recommend!
The location sat on a tidal loch is fantastic, Mr Smee is a great dog but he can be naughty. He can run off but only local and he will return but do not be tempted to let him off lead when away from his local area if he picks up a scent he will be gone. He is really good on lead and no bother in the house a great companion. Lucinda will give you a thorough rundown of all his quirks and take you on his local walks. Comfortable house once warm, lovely fire. I kept my bedroom door open so the heat from downstairs warmed up my bedroom. Downstairs shower room great nice and warm - underfloor heating, strong hot shower. Easy access to Oban for shopping and ferries to the islands. Walking distance to the local village. The drive to Lucinda’s house is very scenic once past Glasgow All in all a fab sit Thanks Lucinda and of course Mr Smee

I was going on a little vacation 2 weeks ago (for the first time in years!) and was very nervous leaving my 2 dogs because it's just something we've never done. My Vet actually suggested McKenna Kennels, and I trust her advice without question. I have an American Bully who was a rescue dog and was so severely abused by her previous owner and she's also an older dog who's very attached to me. I was so afraid she's be scared or traumatized if I left her anywhere. My other dog is a very active, energetic 7 month Olde English Bulldogge that needs constant play time, lol. I wasn't sure how she'd do. As soon as we dropped them off, I saw how nice, clean and organized they were, and I knew they'd do a good job. I was so happy when I went to pick them up, and worried they'd be upset, or confused about why I left them. I thought they'd run into my arms, and be so relieved to be going home. My pup, Astrid wanted to stay, and my older girl acted like she'd been on her own vacation! It was so funny! It was clear they did an EXCELLENT job with both of them, and we were so happy with McKenna Kennels, we're going on another mini vacation this weekend and feel more than happy to drop them off tonight! I've been so severely ill with Multiple Sclerosis for over 7 years, and was unable to do anything, or go anywhere for years. This was the first time I've been well enough to walk. I only mention that because being able to trust them with our dogs has allowed me to get out and live a little more with my family, and that's such a blessing beyond measure. I'd recommend McKenna to anyone looking to board their dogs. They came back happier than when we left them!
Okay so let's start with the negative First and that is just that the bigger dogs stay outside. Are dogs not used to sleeping outside even if it's covered and it feels like inside but it's still kind of outside. Other than that it is amazing how wonderful this place seems to be. We took our dogs just to sort of figure out the place and most people did not know that we were just visiting and yet people interacted with them at least three or four times in the 2o to 40 minutes we were there. While they were outside in the day kennel they have a pool they have toys they have water and they have all this interaction happening. Of course there are other dogs around and there's a lot of barking but our dogs seemed comfortable enough with this visit which was our first time being there ever that they just kind of hung out and one of them even played in the pool for a while so that was good. Also we are incredibly picky and these folks were not only happy to be there and on task with whatever they were doing but they were also very friendly and accommodating because we have older dogs and they have some medications and they have some other issues and these folks seem to be more than happy to take all of this stuff on. Long story short we're incredibly happy to be able to count on these people
I think my dogs look forward to our next vacation more than the kids do. The kids have to stay on an air mattress in a guest room, the dogs get a resort along with pedicures and a spa 🤣 Honestly, they were happy to see us when we came but weren’t too keen to leave. Will definitely use in the future. …
I'm leaving for vacation June 14th & it's for a week road trip. Boarding wasn't even on my mind until my plan A didn't work out. I was extremely nervous leaving my German shepherd 7month old for a partial day (trial run) the other day. However when I picked him up after a few hours play I was pleasantly surprised. I know it's only a couple of hours and can't really go by that but I had one tired happy puppy when I picked up! I liked how informative they were, charged me half of what I was expecting to pay. I'm taking him again next week so he can get more used to it & have Decided to use them as care while we go on our California trip. I like the option of pictures & updates as well. Thanks McKenna kennels!
I looked into bringing my dog here but when I mentioned it to a friend, she told me to never go there. As her AND a friend had bad experiences there. I also found out that they DO NOT have any staff there after they close, until the next morning. Not one dog is taken care of for over 12 hours. So if your pet has anxiety, medication, special treatment or you just expect you're paying for good overnight care, you definitely are not, do not go there! You're getting ripped off. I wouldn't dare spend a dime on a business who has no care for the animals, just the income it provides to them.
My dog likes it and it’s convenient so we take him there. I wouldn’t take him here if he had special needs though based on the reviews, we have also picked him up from days of boarding with his food completely unopened etc. Also don’t ask anyone at the desk questions, don’t expect a hello, they’re very much ‘give us your pet and get the F out.’ Any interaction is a bother to them and they make it clear that it’s a bother to them. We have come here on and off over the years and it’s gone downhill in the last year or so.
first time to bring our puppy to this place, so cant say much. How I wish they give us a tour or show us the place where my puppy will stay .
McKenna Kennels is simply amazing. My dogs absolutely love it. I had a very last minute family emergency occur on the morning of my pick-up time. They were SO understanding and helpful and extended my dogs stay with no issues. They have always been flexible..and I know my dogs are taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about this business!
They were so incredible in taking my dog last minute. They sent me the info for vet records quickly and he was able to be scheduled for day care the next day. He came home tired from a great day of play. The staff was so kind, professional and helpful.
Not the best experience. Medicine was not given to our dog even though they asked and noted in the paperwork upon arrival. Was told over the phone to make an account to receive pictures, made the account to receive photos and they didn’t send any so we didn’t know how she was. Called a couple of times to ask and received vague responses each time. The pick up was really awkward almost like something had happened, very weird. They didn’t say if she eat, if she was good etc. Our dog was wet, her bed was wet, her blanket had mulch in it, her bag of treats was sealed closed. Arrived home without the little bag we send with her things(including the medication), thought we left it but founded inside the bag of food. Overall a very weird experience. This was during Thanksgiving week, maybe they had more dogs that they could handle and affected their capacity to care for each dog individually but… it wasn’t a good experience. I wish we could know if she really had a good time or not. Please keep in mind that this was our experience and maybe not reflect the experience of others who has an amazing experience with them.
We have been taking our pups to Shaggy Shack for years! We absolutely love the staff and the extra care that they take with our animals. This family owned and operated business exceeds expectations every single time. They take extraordinary care with dog behaviors and are experienced dealing with multiple dogs and multiple behaviors. The owners have set their dog yards up so all dogs are cared for and protected. We cannot say enough good things! We have used boarding, daycare and grooming and highly recommend Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and Spa. The Candiliere Family
Staff is great, service was great; drop-off and pick-up was quick and easy. Would recommend and will be returning.
Went to check it out for our dog, welcoming, friendly, cared, clean, they have dog or cat daycare or over night and grooming!!!
They take care of Koa like he is their own. He's been boarded here twice and have never been disappointed. Whenever we are on vacation and ask how he is doing we get an immediate response with pictures and video clips of him. He loves it here... He is always so calm when we pick him up.
Desiree at Shaggy Shack took great care of our Labradoodle when he went in for grooming, and he came back looking great. This is definitely where we're taking him.
Kicker has been attending daycare here for over 4 years now. We love it. He is such a happy boy when he knows we are doing down the long driveway to the daycare. Thank you for always tiring my puppers out. He sleeps well after daycare.
My husband and I dropped off our dog for 4 nights. She was well taken care of and we got a full report from the staff on her stay when we picked her up. She's so tired from all the playing, she had a blast! She's usually a timid dog but at the Shaggy Shack she felt right at home! Thank you guys for taking such great care of her! We will definitely be bringing her back!
The Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and the staff are amazing and provided such a great experience for my dog, Eliza. This was a new experience for Eliza and she gets nervous, however, Eliza stayed there multiple days and was so well taken care!! The staff obviously not only love dogs but are amazing at interacting with the dogs and making sure my slightly anxious dog was grouped with calmer dogs her size. I was so pleased she was able to enjoy some socialization without feeling overwhelmed. I think she had fun with the other dogs and the great staff! Charles was fabulous at keeping me apprised of her experience and I feel completely comfortable with leaving Eliza in such great hands. The staff and owner care about these dogs as individuals with their unique needs and seem to have an instinct with helping each animal to ensure they have the best experience possible. I highly recommend this well run and caring environment for anyone's pets
Justynes dog grooming is here.. my dog loves going here to her
Shaggy Shack has been great for our puppy since day 1. He's an ACD and has a ton of energy. We use Shaggy for daycare to help him get the exercise he needs during the work week. They love him like their own and he comes home exhausted. The staff is great and friendly and we've had great boarding experiences there as well when we've needed. It's like a second home for our pups!
To whoever reading this, I was in your position a short while ago. Sifting through every boarding facility reading all the reviews, stressing about who I am going to trust my dogs with. I have 2 large German shepherds and a golden retriever puppy who are not easy to manage. I am so relieved to have found Jocelyn! I boarded my dogs at The Darling Dog for 7 days and nights. Jocelyn is the kindest, most patient, gentlest, and most understanding person I have ever had the pleasure of trusting my dogs with. It is very scary to hand over our beloved pets to a stranger. But all that stress went away the minute I met Jocelyn and saw how much she truly cared about my dogs. Unlike many other boarding facilities, your dog is more than just a number in a kennel at the Darling Dog. They are treated with respect, love, and patience. I received daily updates on my boys, which was extremely comforting. They were able to run around and stretch their legs throughout the day on Jocelyn’s huge fully fenced property. The kennels are kept extremely clean for the dogs. Each dog had fresh water with clean bowls. It is a very low stress environment for the animals. I received picture updates as well, they all looked so happy and had big smiles on their faces. I was also extremely impressed with Jocelyn’s ability to seamlessly handle my two 100lb, intact, male German shepherds. They are not exactly dog friendly, and are pretty big/intimidating guys. Jocelyn’s experience and knowledge really shined in all the moments it took to look after my guys. I recommend The Darling Dog to anyone who is looking for top tier care for their pet. I live over an hour away from The Darling Dog, but will happily make that trip every time I need someone to look after my boys. Thank you for everything Jocelyn! You have earned a life long customer! <3
Jocelyn is a true dog-whisperer! Our very skittish and rambunctious Brittany fell in love with her immediately. We have tried other kennels and they just dont compare to Darling Dogs. She actually cares about your dog and takes the time to get to know them. Communication is superb and she even sends pictures. We will never use any other kennel. Best place on the plant for your fur-baby!
Our dogs were well cared for and I really appreciated the communication and pictures from Jocelyn! I highly recommend The Darling Dog for your care needs!
Loved leaving my dogs here. Picture updates were wonderful and you can tell that Jocelyn really cares. Good prices and nice accommodations.
absolutely fantastic experience over the holidays. Truly dog lovers. Great facilities. He loved the backyard :-) totally flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend. he was tuckered out after a lot of fun.
So happy to have found Jocelyn and her wonderful Darling Dog boarding/daycare facility! You can tell immediately that Jocelyn absolutely loves what she does. My girl Emma stayed with her over Thanksgiving week, and Jocelyn sent me daily updates and pictures which gave me such peace of mind. Emma was a happy and tired girl when I picked her up. Thank you so much Jocelyn, am definitely coming back!❤️
This place is awesome! Great prices. I felt immediately comfortable leaving my two dogs in her hands after meeting her. She even sent me a picture of them during the day. There’s a big grass area for dogs to play outside!
Jocelyn at Darling Dog is amazing! We had to leave our 2 dogs with her for 2 weeks bc of a trip. This was their first time ever being away from us for that long. She kept us updated with pictures and videos showing us what a great time they were having. Her property is large with great space for the dogs to roam and play. Great prices and even better care. We can tell our dogs were taken well care of and were comfortable. She even sent them home with a goodie bag of treats and toys. Feels good to know we have a place we can trust if we ever need somewhere for them to stay.
We have taken our boy Zep who is a 4 month old puppy to The Darling Dog and Jocelyn has been great with him. He is a bit intimidated by the bigger dogs and Jocelyn has been his emotional support human to get him through it. We dropped him for a full day this week and she had another 6 month old puppy and they just got along and had a great day playing. Jocelyn is always welcoming, friendly and helpful. Zep is excited to see her and warms up quickly to her. The facility is super clean and very nice. We booked Zep's next play date already!
Darling Dog treats every dog as if they were their own dog.....lots of love, attention, exercise and snuggles even! On a recent weekend we had a family wedding in Oregon while all of our dogs stayed with Darling Dog and all had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend!!!!!!
We just moved here from California and klaus our dog needed to get groomed. I did a reservation request online and Hannah called back with availability and was able to get us in pretty quick. We told them what Klaus normally gets for a groomed and what areas he doesn’t like being touched and they were cautious of those areas. Overall it was great and klaus looks amazing! We will definitely be back.
A great place for your pets. I’ve need using PB for about 5-6 yrs and never disappointed. Your pet will be well taken care of and will return happy. Highly recommend and love their social media to be able to check on how your pet’s doing during their stay. Location on JBLM so will need base access.
We were going on a trip that our puppy, unfortunately, could not come with us. We decided to trust The Pet Brigade with her care and they did not disappoint! She loved it there and had a great time. We would always get pictures and if we were worried, we could message them and they would give us an update regarding how she was doing. Their new groomer Lilly also gave our Luna her first big girl cut and we are very happy with how she looks, it is exactly the cut we asked. Overall, it was a great experience and they gave us peace of mind regarding Luna while we were on our trip. She will definitely be staying here if we have another trip in the future.
The workers here are so kind! Very good people! They groomed our miniature poodle and did an amazing job on his cut and he smells amazing :) thanks again
This place is awesome! Being away from home we love having somewhere where we feel comfortable and happy leaving Zeus because he loves being there! Boarding at the pet brigade has been really awesome- Zeus has a safe personal space where he can be around other pups comfortably, he goes to cute “paw-ties”, a quick and safe nail trim (he likes to crocodile roll and is sensitive about his feet) and comes home and snoozes for the next couple of days! We’ve boarded him here a handful of times! The team at the pet brigade has been awesome in making sure Zeus is comfy and posts the best pictures on their socials so we can keep up with him while we’re away. 10/10 facility and team!
We brought our dogs in for meeting to stay in boarding while we were headed to long awaited vacation ( with no problem ) We were required to leave a $100 deposit and dropped them off the day of vacation. They claimed one of the dogs became aggressive after we dropped them off and that we had to pick them up and we needed to make other arrangements. This was 7 hrs before our flight was taking off. We had to scramble around and found a friend to take care of them. We asked about a refund in the $100 and they said no problem. Then when we called to double check in refund they said we could only use for credit at facility……. You think I wanted to use them again?? NOPE!!! The minute we got home we found out my son’s wife had Cancer. Didn’t have time to pursue it after that. Got a reminder today 1 year later for a review….. So here it is, you asked for my review!! Have told friends not to go to this facility!!
Pet Brigade was the best dog boarding solution for Binks and I, we've never been separated since he was given to me. Four days before I had to travel for a family emergency out of the country, I found out all the requirements needed so my fur baby could travel. Couldn't find boarding! I turned to Pet Brigade, filed out all the paperwork, and the Monday morning call was the smoothest thing out of my trip. They gave me peace of mind and told me they would be expecting his arrival. It turns out I was early for 1 day and still there was no problem and they were kind. I remember saying: He's an anxious dog. Someone came, he immediately made friends with and totally forgot about me. He just wanted to go play. And play he did. He was well taken care of. He had fun. Taco tuesday? Ice Cream Social? I called and was told he was making friends with the Golden Retrievers (he has a thing for them,lol). I even got a report card full of little stars, yeah the stars they give you for good behavior in elementary. We are talking about my labradoodle, good behavior, really? Someone had fun. Pick up was not easy because my plane got delayed and I had to travel from Vancouver, B.C. Never heard a complain. All ladies were wonderful, the check out process was fast and convenient. The level of care and love for All animals, not just dogs, but cats too can be appreciated when you look at the gallery of pictures. I swear I could see a dog or two who are smiling! This is truly a home away from home. Pet Brigade was a pet resort for my labradoodle. He was happy to see me, of course, but he came back calm and happy, and not at all anxious. Our experience has been top notch and I highly recommend the Pet Brigade.
Lily is so good we followed her here! She’s great with our standard poodle, Honey. We won’t go to anyone else. The staff was very accommodating and professional. We will return again and again for all of our k-9 needs.
My puppy Mochi has gone for puppy daycare twice so far, and she is loving her experience. Staff has been very professional and courteous. I called to check in on Mochi the first day, and they said she was doing well and making friends. I know she had a full day because she was actually exhausted when she got home. Thank u pet brigade team for taking care of my Mochi!
We recently booked our pets for the holidays this year as we were traveling to see family. When we had to change plans and notified Pet Brigade two weeks later, they refused to refund our deposit! Even with a two month notification of when we needed their services, they refused! We also noticed they charge for a lot of little services like feeding dogs treats or walking them! Ridiculous! Complete money grabbing scam and will be telling my friends and Army unit teammates the same.
I brought my dog here for a herding evaluation and it was a lot of fun! I’m glad I didn’t let the bad reviews deter me on trying out this place. Not sure what’s up with the reviews, but we had a great experience! The instructor Ashlee was nice, very knowledgeable and open to answer any questions I had. She also explained the whole process during the evaluation. My dog loved it and was exhausted afterwards - she got a good sleep during our drive home. Since she passed, I plan on taking her back for herding lessons. I read lots of reviews regarding barking, and if the dog is herding/ working barking is totally fine. I’m assuming that what is not fine is if a dog is barking at everything and everyone while making their way in, which makes sense to me. If you have a dog who is reactive towards other people, dogs and farm animals, this might not be the place for your dog and that’s okay. No need to leave bad review without giving full context. Again, I’m glad I went to this place! Parking is easy. I was sent directions on how to sign in and I was a bit confused, but I asked one of the employees and was able to sign in. I can’t speak for the boarding experience, but for the time I was there for the herding evaluation, me and my dog enjoyed the place. It was really awesome seeing all the border collies and sheep working. Can’t wait to be back!
My experience at Fido's Farm was one of the greatest days of my (and my border collie's) life, hands down. I took my guy in for a herding assessment and worked with Ashlee, who is a dog-whispering angel. She was patient, gentle, and kind, and fully explained everything about sheep herding and border collies as she walked my dog through the steps of herding. I'm passionate about my dog, and of course I had a ton of questions and she graciously answered each and every one without complaint. My dog is 5 years old and it had always been a dream of mine to see if he had the herding instinct, but I had delayed due to the pandemic, etc. After about ten minutes of ignoring the sheep, Ashlee was able to help him "turn on" and from then on out he wouldn't stop running laps around the sheep trying to herd them. It was the COOLEST thing I've ever seen in my entire life. My dog and I have been through a lot over the years, and to see him exercise his deepest instincts for the first time is a moment I will never forget. Like I said, this was one of the best days of my whole life! All thanks to Ashlee. She was warm, friendly, and such a gem. I would recommend Fido's Farm to ALL my herding dog friends.
A working sheep farm with well tended animals and a primary focus on providing dog owners enjoyable pursuits and boundless learning opportunities for them and their pets. Curated lessons, clinics and competitions are provided on a regular basis with an emphasis on fun and fellowship. Great owner. This place is a treasure for the surrounding area and people come for the quality from far and wide.
I contacted Fido’s Farm after hearing positive comments about their ability to work with high energy herding breeds. I have a very sweet natured 3 yo Border Collie and I needed to find boarding for about a week in November. I was informed the dog needed to complete a Temperament Test over 5-6 hours and would cost $35.00. When I arrived, the staff person “E” came to review the shot record, then took our dog back to start the test. While driving home, I was called and told my dog did not pass the test. He had only been there about 30 minutes. I returned to pick up my dog. E told me that my dog vocalized to much and was scratching the kennel so hard he was going to hurt his feet. Our dog is a young Border Collie, he was in an unfamiliar place, and he, like most dogs, uses his voice when he feels threatened. I was basically told they couldn’t board him and E told me to find a place where he do herding or do agility. I was asked to pay full amount even though my dog was only there for less than 30 minutes. I would not recommend boarding your dog at Fido’s. The staff member didn’t seem to care or even take time to know our dog, who has a very sweet nature.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS WITH THESE PEOPLE!! Wouldn’t trust these people with a pet rock, let alone a living animal you care about. We have used Fido’s twice now and both times our dog has come back with issues. The first time our dog had bug bites and scabs all over his body. The second time he came back with an ear infection in both ears. Neither time the staff mentioned anything about issues and stated our dog was doing great, which leads me to believe they are very inattentive. Additionally, they said our dog peed his bed, which means they must of left him locked up a long time since he can easily go overnight to 10 hours without going to the bathroom while at home. Furthermore, we paid for extra 1 on 1 time and came to find out after picking him up that they just let him out to play with other dogs more often and didn’t give him any extra human interaction.
**UPDATE** My dog and I were so excited I could finally get her to Fidos farm for daycare. She needed to go out for an interview, never happened before, they called after an hour and asked me to come and pick her up because she was too shy with the other dogs. I knew she was getting a little dog shy because we had been locked up during the pandemic, this is why I wanted to her to go there. I know for a fact this would have never happened at the old Fido's farm, so I don't know what's going on there now. I can say that I am very disappointed about the daycare, I am also disappointed because now I need to find a new place to board her because if it's not safe for her to be there for daycare she certainly is not safe for boarding. I know that a lot of good stuff happens at Fido's, but I am disappointed. Now I have to go find another safe place for my dog, thank you Been going to Fido's for 20 years, it's always my first choice. You won't find better people.
Not a big fan. The staff did not make eye contact with me or really make me feel welcome or even address my presence. My dog didn’t like the place. It seems kind of dirty. Just a few hours and my dog smelled like really bad, I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to go. Not bad people. Just didn’t feel right.
Fidos farm has been a saving Grace for our dogs, great for socializing and learning pack manners as well as a caring staff and a great place for your dog to spend the day
We have regularly been taking our dog to Fido's for daycare and boarding for over a year and a half now, and we could not be more pleased! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I can trust that they will treat my dog with care and respect. My dog's social skills, confidence and responsiveness to requests for good behavior have continually improved since going there! She is becoming her very best doggie-self! She comes home happy, thoroughly played out and clearly totally loves it there! We could not imagine a better place for her. Many thanks to all of you at Fido's Farm!
Like others have shared, after several years of using Fido's Farm to board, our dog was suddenly banned over an alleged barking issue. There were no warnings or suggestions previously given. Do they have the right to refuse any dog? Sure. However, I would argue owners also have the right to know ahead of time regarding any potential issues that would lead to their dog's expulsion.
Our boy Rico attended Brittney’s pack for a while. He loved it, he’d come home tired and happy. We always felt like he was well taken care of. He is a puppy and Brittney definitely tried her best to accommodate to his puppy needs. He even injured his tail because he was too happy, got “happy tail” one day. He is a little menace and tried to jump over the fence a couple times which caused him to injure his leg but Brittney was always very transparent and informed my husband and I. If your dog isn’t a little menace like ours you should totally go with Brittney’s outstanding business, the puppies have plenty of room to play and they will be loved and cared for. We will miss Brittney’s dog house very much.
If anyone out there is looking for a place that will love your four-legged fur baby like it was their own. Brittany‘s dog house is the place to go not only do they do doggy daycare. They have boarding and they do grooming. I have done all three and you will be incredibly happy with either service you choose to use
Brittney is spectacular! I brought my puppy to her daycare over a year ago and just recently used her for boarding with my 2 dogs who are 1 and 3. My younger girl was a rescue from Mexico and she is very cautious around everyone but she loves dogs, I told Brittney my fears as we would be over 5 hours away with no cell service and she took excellent care of my babies. She helped me out when I didn't bring enough food and she kept me updated with pictures as a bonus! Great prices and always a great experience. so grateful to have a place i trust my dogs to go.
Brittney is amazing! She’s been watching our 3 dogs for 3 years now. We have her drop in on our pups on days my husband and I both work, we also have her help out when we go on vacation. She’s also dropped everything to take one of our dogs to the vet when my husband and I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t recommend her more. Our dogs love her. She’s super communicative and sends us lots of pictures when we are on vacation. We know our dogs are in good hands with her.
Brittney is literally the sweetest person! I searched high and low for a place to let my baby boy Boston have someplace to hang out at during the day while his Dad & I have to work. He is a 7 month old rottweiler that isnt neutered, so not a single place would even bother to acknowledge him or agree to meet him because he didnt meet their "requirements." Well Brittney didnt even hesitate to invite him over for a meet and greet with her pack of pups to see if Boston would fit in with her crew. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and how much she cares for her pack. My boy has been going to her place for daycare for about 2 weeks now and I cannot be happier about how excited he gets as soon as we turn into her lane. He sees her and he goes nuts, that's how I know she is amazing. Because dogs know when they are loved and cared for, and will show it ❤ She sends me updates (because I'm one of those hover moms that worries about everything) and even sent me pic updates to put my mind at ease. if you are looking for a place to bring your pup to burn off some energy, look no further. You will not regret trusting Brittney with the care of your pets.
We LOVE Brittney’s dog house! My dogs get so excited to stay with her, and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone!
The best daycare and boarding for your dogs in Pierce County!
This is my niece & she is fantastic with animals. I highly recommend her. She and her soon to be husband have customized their home to accommodate a great pet facility. You won’t be disappointed.
Hi Vivian! I noticed you rated my business a 4 out of 5 stars and I was wondering if you could comment on this? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of caring for your pets. Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve your rating to a full five stars. Thank you!
We absolutely love Emily’s Wood Pack for our two dogs. Our dogs needed some socializing after the pandemic and they were nervous, but they made sure to communicate what days had calmer dogs, and always update with pictures. I would say they are even more affordable with boarding than other locations in the area considering how much love, attention, and space they are given. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. You can tell all the employees love the pets. Honestly amazing!
We are so happy with the care our puppy gets at Emily’s Woof Pack! It’s affordable, high-quality dog care that our pup absolutely loves. He always comes home happily exhausted after his visits, and now he even cries with excitement whenever we drive by the Walgreens nearby. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly, and I love how dog-centric the check-in and check-out process is—it makes everything easy and stress-free. Plus, the location is super convenient for anyone near JBLM, Lakewood, or Steilacoom. Highly recommend Emily’s Woof Pack for your furry family members!
Emily has always been professional, prompt and friendly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and supportive of her pet sitting community, providing resources and referrals if she isn’t available or the right fit for your pet. She gives her heart to each dog in her care and will love them like her own while they’re in her home. She is the ONLY person we trust to care for our cats, in our home, when we travel. She sends video updates and pictures so you know your babies are happy. Bring your dogs to Emily, you won’t regret it! Oct 2021: Editing to add that we now have a very shy doodle boy who was exceptionally well cared for during his daycare visit. Emily went above and beyond answering all of my nervous dog mom questions before booking. Upon arrival, Alex and Sierra were patient with Sunny while he got accustomed and they sent several photo pupdates throughout the day. Best of all, Sunny is less nervous with new dogs and people after his ONE day running with the pack. Seriously, bring your dog to Emily’s Woof Pack.
Our Doggo loves her time at Emily’s! She made it super easy to find a day that we could come out and do a trial for a new daycare. Our dog had a great time! And Emily sent us an update on her first day to let us know she’s doing ok. Love that they have outdoor space for the doggos. Will definitely be back!
Emily has been amazing with our fur baby, Diesel. She has sat for him dozens of times over the last few years and he always comes home happy. She is great with text updates when we are out of town. We trust her with the most important thing in our lives. I cannot say enough about how much she cares about dogs and their well being. She is the best!!! Diesel loves his aunt Emily! Thanks so much...
Emily Wolf Pack has been the best decision we ever made for our dog. Our dog went to day care once a week for a few months and he was the happiest. He was always excited they day he was picked up and came home happy and tired. We never had any trouble with the team working there or with our dog while he was taken care. They are very attentive, Professional, flexible and have great communication. I will for sure recommend this place!!
You will not find a better Doggy Day Care experience than EWP. The Pack Leaders engage with the pups continuously during the day and my two come home happy and tired. This team cares about each dog individually - they are a joy to leave my fur kids with.
I am so greatful for my coworker and fellow nurse telling me about Emily's. She brings her Pups and Cat here and she could not have been more spot on for a great daycare for my Archie. He will be 5 this year and we have had our share of not good experiences at 2 other places and then we found Emily's. Professoinal, carring, kind, just the best people. You will have no worries. Just wonderful. Right acroos the street from Key Bank on Steilacoom.
I would definitely recommend Emily's Woof Pack to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding for their pups! We adopted our dog about a year-and-a-half ago and he was quite the handful. He didn't do well at a large daycare facility, and I was nervous to try again and leave him with anybody. Emily was willing to work with him and now he loves going over to her house! I love that she does overnight trials and a thorough screening process to make sure all of the dogs will get along before their first day of daycare. 10/10 would recommend 🥰🐾
Emily is a wonderful pet sitter (and human being!) and I trust her to the moon and back to give my pup excellent care. We had a lovely conversation before giving my dog a trial run at her house to figure out if my rescue dog's personality would fit in with the other dogs in the Pack. With my initial concerns about my dog's nervous and anxious behavior put to rest, I was able to leave her with Emily for 24 hours to test the waters. Emily sent photos and gave updates and determined that my dog was ready for a longer stay. Now, I'll leave my dog for her "vacation" with Emily this Christmas while I travel to visit family. <3 Emily came on high recommendation from my rescue, and I'm so glad I heard about her!
