Dog Sitters in Northvale, NJ

The Doggie Shrink is a great place to bring your dog for doggy daycare, boarding, as well as grooming. My dog loves to go there and play with other dogs for doggy daycare or when he's been boarded there. The entire staff Is excellent and I know they take very good care of my dog when he's there. I highly recommend The Doggie Shrink for a place to bring your dog for doggy daycare, Boarding and or grooming needs

Doggie Shrink came highly recommended to us by friends who have used this facility for both boarding and training. We could not be more pleased with the care and handling that they have provided to our two miniature dachshunds. The facility is clean and only receives pets that are current with all vaccinations. They treat our our dogs as family and provide the same love and attention as we do ourselves. Upon arriving for drop off, our dogs are greeted with affection and are anxious to enter the facility. The staff is always available to discuss whatever concerns and goals we may have for our dogs, and shares their observations in full detail. I highly recommend Doggie Shrink to anyone interested in both boarding and training their pets.

I’ve been using Kim and Doggie Shrink for years for boarding and socialization . They are excellent! We recently adopted a fairly big happy puppy who needed a home, but had no training whatsoever. With the help of Doggie Shrink, he no longer pulls on the leash after two sessions. They have also helped me with recommendations on how to train him, and he is SO much better. We also use them for weekly camp so he can get socialized and run around with all his new friends.

Kim, Lars and team are the absolute best. We live in LA and every time we visit family in NJ our Pom can’t wait to spend a few days with his friends at Doggie Shrink. Boarding has also been a breeze. The team’s love for all the dogs is palpable and there is nobody we trust more with our little guy.

We were referred to Kim by another dog owner friend (shout out to Hugo!), once we told them about the fighting troubles we have between our two boxer pups. Our dogs are currently at The Doggie Shrink for some board & train. Kim knows her sh*t. She has an incredible passion for dogs ("there are no bad dogs") and that seems matched only by her understanding of their behavior and why they act and respond the way they do. This should be the key to solving any issue or just regular obedience training. We are still in the process with our dogs but I trust Kim implicitly. Behind the fences there seems to be a doggie paradise, with lots of room and friends to play with. Kim's own dogs are trained incredibly well, as we have been able to see in videos where they assist her in the training of my pups. We will come back and report more after we have more info and results but very impressed in the first few visits and boards, as well as Kim's availability to me to explain everything going on. Highly recommend.

Kim, Lars, and the whole team are absolutely wonderful! I take my husky here every seven weeks or so and they always do such a fabulous job with his long, thick coat! He always comes home so much whiter, nicely brushed out, and his paw fur trimmed nicely. I cannot say enough amazing things about Doggie Shrink :)

Doggie Shrink is the best!! They have so much care and love for the dogs. I have been bringing my dog there for 3 years now and I am so happy. Kim is the best trainer I have ever worked with, she really cares about what she does. If you need dog training, boarding, or day care I would absolutely recommend you bring your dogs to her! Her staff is wonderful, Rosie has the best time playing staying and learning with Kim & her staff. Doggie Shrink is by far the best facility! I love them!

Being a life long dog owner, I had never considered using a doggie daycare or have had to board my pets. We always depended on family members to help out. However, after rescuing a new puppy a year ago, my husband and I - being two busy, working people- wanted to make sure our new dog had attention, training and socialization. We saw how much our spunky labradoodle needed to play and socialize. The whole experience was completely new to us, and after doing some research and asking our groomer for a recommendation, they did not hesitate to recommend Doggie Shrink. What a blessing it has been finding DS! Kim and the entire DS Team have been beyond wonderful, loving and caring with our young pup. He is excited to go weekly and we feel such peace going on vacation knowing he is being well cared for and loved on when we are not home. We have also used DS for training and have learned so much by working with DS. I continue to recommend DS to all coworkers and friends in the area. The DS Team is the absolute best!!

We are grateful to Doggie Shrink and their team! Savannah has been going for day care and overnights and we feel at ease when she is there. She is so loved and cared for! We highly recommend!

I cannot put into words how grateful we are for Kim and the entire Doggie Shrink team! They have quickly become our dog's favorite people and favorite place. They helped us navigate our dog's socialization issues and brought the sweet and gentle side back into our dog. They are always on call to answer questions and help with continued training. When I was in labor with my son in February 2023, their team allowed us to bring our dog VERY last-minute to be boarded and kept her happy and safe while we were in the trenches of having a newborn, as well as gave us tips on introducing our dog to our new baby. We can't thank them enough for everything and would recommend them to anyone in need of doggie daycare, boarding and grooming!!

I was trying out to see if this place would be a good fit for my pup cause i know my pup is usually very anxious. Unfortunately things didn’t work out as i hoped but that’s okay! Because i appreciated how much this place communicated with me and heard my concerns about my pup. They did their very best to make my pup comfortable and that’s all i can ask for. The staff is super sweet and very understanding. I’m hoping that with more training my pup will be able to gain the confidence he needs to be able to come back here cause that’s how great they treated us. They are aware of how to make sure the place is safe for furry friends and that’s what is important! Thank you guys for doing your very best and being patient with my pup. I’m hoping i can return when he is more ready!

We’ve taken our two dogs here twice now. Once for their evaluation and once for doggy daycare. The staff is really friendly and explained things well. The moment we pulled up to the parking lot for their day of daycare, the dogs wanted to run inside. They were greeted by friendly humans and went running to go play that they didn’t even say bye. When we picked them up, they were excited to see us but weren’t running out of the door. They went back to say bye to the staff there. They came home exhausted but very happy. I got a video seeing how they were doing which gave me some piece of mind and they do little activities for holidays which I LOVE. My dogs are my fur babies and it feels like they understand that.

Took our two dogs there for day care before we board them this weekend. Sounds like they had a great time and played with the other dogs. They are absolutely exhausted! Guess we will all sleep well tonight 😌 …

Love love love this place - the staff takes great care of my rambunctious 2 boys. They are always so friendly, nice and polite. The themed parties are too cute, I can't wait to see photos they post ( this was them at prom) Really this is the only place I want to tale my dogs to.

Bella blue loves to go to Hounds Town in Hillsdale, and we feel comfortable leaving our girl there as well! It’s our new favorite place

Very very happy with my dog's stay at Hounds Town Hillsdale. Daily video updates, quick responses to emails and came back to a happy pup after 12 days! Will definitely make this establishment my go-to for all boarding needs!

Early July 2024- My initial orientation with my dog, Chuck went extremely well due to the professionalism of the staff. They were kind, knowledgeable and patient. I look forward to my pup attending daycare and extended stay at this location.. .

Be careful leaving your dog in the care of this location. There has been surveillance video footage of the abuse of Charlie (GSD). Check out @ABC7NY tiktok video posting from yesterday 9/20/24. Had the employee whistleblower not show the footage to Charlie’s owner, he would have never knew, other dog owners that leave their dog here would’ve been oblivious, and that manager that abused Charlie in two instances would’ve still been working here. But according to the video they said the manager has been fired. And here is the proof before the Google business account owner/ runner wants to deny these claims. This is footage of the GSD Charlie that is also featured in that TikTok video by ABC7NY News.

I picked up my chocolate lab axle this weekend after a seven day boarding. When I received him he had a raw nose on the top of his bridge. Upon asking the staff what happened. They stated that it was that he was sticking his nose underneath a gate. And that’s what probably caused it. I’ve used your services times before and never had an issue. Till now. I hope that this does not scar my dogs nose. Right now at the moment it is discolored unfortunately. and maybe the facility can assure that this does not happen to other dogs.

They took great care of my Kenna and made sure she had a fun and safe experience. The facilities are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. The service was top-notch, from the convenient drop-off and pick-up to the flexible scheduling and reasonable pricing.

Bailey loves his weekly play dates with Lauren! My very energetic fur baby learned to socialize and play with other dogs in a safe environment. So thankful for her.

My dog Blaze goes absolutely insane with excitement when I mention going to Peaceful Pup to see Lauren! He normally has separation anxiety when it comes to leaving me, however, when we arrive at Peaceful Pups, he leaps out of the car and runs right to the door. He has a wonderful time and I totally trust Lauren with my fur baby!

As a first time dog owner my family and I were nervous to trust anyone with our puppy. However, we felt an immediate connection with Lauren. She was knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. My dog loved her from their first interaction. She has helped us with tips, walking, boarding, and she has been so easy to work with. We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her!

We had a large party and we wanted to eliminate the worry that comes with non dog owners and doors being inadvertently left open. So we asked our vet for a sitting service. Peaceful pups was recommended. And after meeting Lauren, we found a perfect and safe place for our dog. It was our first worry free party in ages. And our dog came home happy and tired from all the fun she had. Thank you Lauren!

Leaving our pets in Lauren’s care was the best decision we made. She is extremely responsible and competent. I could not have had more peace of mind if I was with them myself! Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. She is someone I can count on with my fur baby for anything without a stress or worry. I’m so thankful for her and couldn’t recommend her more. When you have Lauren looking after your pet you can assure you have nothing to worry about she’s spoiling them for sure!

Lauren was so wonderful with our cats. Responsive and on time, had no worries at all while away. We will definitely use her services again!

Lauren has taken care of our dogs , both large and small dogs. They love her and it is great because we know our dogs are well taken care of when we are away. I highly recommend her services. 🐾🐾

If you’re looking for someone who cares for dogs as if they are their own, it’s Peaceful Pups! Lauren is responsible, reliable and treats each dog with love‼️ There is no better feeling than knowing your loved one is in the best hands…

I cannot sing the praises of Peaceful Pups Dog Care loudly enough. My dog had a rough passage prior to coming to my home. He endured losing a leg in Hurrican Marie in Puerto Rico. Peaceful Pups has worked with me to overcome his reactive quirks so he can have a much better life. I never worry for a second when he is in Lauren's care. She is a dog whisperer extraordinare. My dog howls when he knows she is coming. Praise from a pup who has had a tough time. THAT says it all!!

Super friendly and accommodating staff who genuinely care about our fur babies. I feel comfortable leaving them here when we need to be away. I also love the “camper cams” that give me extra peace of mind and a dose of cuteness.

Our doggo always always always enjoys his time at Camp Bow Wow. The staff are super friendly and professional. We appreciate their flexibility and willingness to accommodate us in our times of need. 6 stars!

Love Camp Bow Wow!!! The team are always friendly and professional. My Oscar is excited to join them and sad to leave. I feel he is treated as their own pet. The faculty is also always clean and safe. I have and will continue to recommend to others. Thanks Camp Bow Wow !

I appreciate the initial screening and vaccine documentation requirements to ensure health and safety. The camper cams give me peace of mind. I can check in any time and see how my little guy is doing. I could see for myself that the dogs are under constant supervision. The counselors are good with the dogs, playing with them and cleaning up after them. The front desk staff are friendly and accommodating, making drop off and pick up very easy.

My newfie Georgie has been going to camp since she was 6 months old. She really looks forward to seeing her doggy and human friends once or twice a week. Everyone who works there is caring, friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great place to be a dog!

Staff is awesome. Very accommodating and flexible. They couldn’t be more caring and loving. They always let me know how much she ate and her overall behavior. My pup pulls me towards the door as soon as we get out of the car. Camp Bow Wow is my go to for boarding and daycare.

Been coming here for years, the staff are absolutely lovely, they care so much about all of the dogs, and know them all by name. My dogs love this place, it is their doggy heaven! Highly recommend.

The knowledge and expertise of all the employees are incomparable! My Olde English Bulldog has so much fun and comes home ready to rest after a long day of play.

This is a wonderful place. My dog, Yako, really enjoyed himself for his "interview"/first visit and stay at a doggie day camp facility. He especially like Matt, who was totally gentle with him and really made him (and all the other dogs) feel comfortable and safe. It is a big, clean doggie day care/boarding facility and they keep the dogs entertained all day long. When I brought Yako home, he drank some water and went to sleep. Perfect. I am very comfortable leaving my dog for boarding and it is easy to get to from Manhattan or the Bronx. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Rockland County, NY. A++

I had a last minute change in travel plans and Camp Bow wow was amazingly supportive and very welcoming to me and my pup Mango! I felt safe being able to log in and see him at play having the best time with his friends. Staff took excellent care of him and I’m so grateful for you all!! Highly recommend! This was his first time away from home and from me and we were both very nervous but camp bow wow made this experience so seem less and for that I am blessed. Thank you for loving him up for me while I was away.

We were going overseas for 2 weeks and our pet sitter backed out. My son was worried about his Bearded Dragon, Xerxes. Jeff was available at short notice for us to come and "ok" the spot that Xerxes would have while we were away. He was very understanding with a nervous 14 year old! When we came back to drop her off, he had even researched more info online about Bearded Dragons - she was his first one! While we were away he texted pics and updates. He had to cut fresh food daily and remember to turn on and off different lights/heaters each morning and evening. Jeff was wonderful and saved the day. Xerxes did great and we were able to enjoy our trip. Thanks Jeff!! We will definitely use Preppy Pet again!

Our Jack Russell rescue is an active, high energy dog, who needed to learn basic commands and also how to play with other dogs. We've been bringing him to Jeff every Saturday for about six months for socialization and basic training. Our little buddy has become much less aggressive with other dogs and now sits without me having to tell him to! We bring him up to Preppy Pet (from the Bronx!) every week because we know he. Is. Loved, trained and has a great time! We’ve also used the boarding services. Jeff’s prices are great and the service can’t be beat! Jeff is flexible and he and the staff truly care about the dogs. If your dog needs a day to run around and play and “just be a dog”, bring him to Jeff. Your pooch will come home, drink from his bowl and call it a night! 🐾🐶🐾

Jeff takes care of my dog on all vacation trips throughout the year . He sends me videos and pictures to put me at ease that my Rosie is happy . Jeff is very personable and attentive to my dogs needs . Reasonable priced and good service !

Preppy Pet (Orangeburg location, formerly located in Nanuet) has made a huge impression on me and my husband. After searching high and low to find a trusting place to board our sweet female German shepherd, handsome male German shepherd, and smiley male Golden Retriever we decided on Preppy Pet. From the first initial phone call, they were very patient when answering our list of questions and concerns. They were very reassuring and made us feel that we are bringing our dogs to a place that will treat them like their own. The drop off was very smooth, as Jeff and his staff took our dogs in one by one to get used to their temporary home for the next several weeks. Jeff (who is the owner) spent as much time as we needed going through the specific feeding directions for our three dogs, as one of our German shepherds needs special medication administered in order for her body to properly digest her food. Shortly after drop off, Jeff and his staff would send us videos and photos of our dogs. I could tell they were having a great time from the start, by their ear to ear smiles and wagging tails. I knew we had chosen the best place for our dogs to be well cared for. You can tell that the staff truly loves animals. The love and compassion could be felt right through the videos. I am so happy we chose Preppy Pet to board our 3 dogs, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for services that they offer. (They also offer services such as grooming, and day care!) Boarding your animals is never easy, but Preppy Pet made it so much better for us. They are very reasonably priced, they are very honest, and they have the best team! Thank you to everyone at Preppy Pet! We will be returning in the future! 5 + stars!!!!

my dogs Daisy and Tippy came here multiple times for boarding day care and baths the staff was great! and very kind they did a great job with the bath and nail clippings and even sent me pictures!

My baby boy loves going to daycare here! Whenever he realizes we are on the way he howls and howls. Once we arrive he drags me to the door. He love being able to play with other pups. Preppy Pet is the only daycare, boarding, and grooming provider that we would choose.

I’ve been boarding my two dogs, Nigel and Lily at Preppy Pet over the last few years. Jeff has always been super reliable and accommodating. Each time I pick the dogs up they are happy, well fed, and tired from playing. When I drop them off to stay at preppy pet they don’t even look back, they are so excited to return to hang out with their friend Jeff & co. We will definitely miss them as we move out of state but are happy to know how loved and cared for Nigel & Lily were during their many stays at Preppy Pet.

My go to for dog boarding ! Jeff the owner loves his animals and takes good care of my dog pepper. Staff is super friendly. Been going for couple years now! Pepper loves it!

We have been dropping our pit bull Cocoa at Preppy Pup for around a year now. People get nervous when they see pit bulls and unfairly judge them based on their reputations (not going to call out any other day cares in the area by name…….). That is not the case with Jeff and the staff at Preppy Pup. The whole team treats Cocoa for who she is, a very loving, happy and playful girl who doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body….though she still has endless amounts of puppy energy! Cocoa is always so excited to go. When we ask her “do you want to go see Jeff today?” she instantly “smiles” and shakes her butt and when we pick her up she is completely exhausted from a day of play!

Our two dachshunds have had many wonderful stays with Preppy Pet! Preppy Pet owner, Jeff, gave great care to our senior dogs, making sure to follow all best practices for keeping them healthy and safe. They really love all pets and all feel welcome. With typical boarding structure, filled with many dogs, cats, and others, you will probably smell the clients, that's a good thing-no toxic disinfectants or perfumes, you can leave your pets with ease of mind, they are safe and in good company!

I can never saw enough about how truly wonderful Paw Pals is! From the dog walking service, to the daycare, to the overnight home stays and the boarding, we have done it all and each time has been wonderful. They truly treat your pet like their own. Our dog is now 10 and has always been a nervous type. The team at Paw Pals is always so patient and kind and loving with him. I always love getting the reports with how sweet he was with them too! I have and will continue to recommend Paw Pals to all of my friends and family. It is the only place when we leave our pup, we never have to think twice! Paw Pals has helped us for our wedding, birth of our kids, vacations and everything in between. Brittanie and her team are the best at what they do!! Thank you Paw Pals for being so amazing and the best at what you do!

Brittanie and the Paw Pals team took such good care of our boys. We were able to spend a nice weekend away without having to worry if our pups were okay. We received a daily report card with a photo to keep us updated. I wouldn't take my pups anywhere else ♡ Thank you, Paw Pals!

Paw Pals provided excellent care for Nala while I was away! Given that she's a working line German Shepherd, I was worried about meeting her mental and physical activity needs during boarding. However, Paw Pals kept her active, engaged, and stimulated with walks, puzzles, and playtime. Brittanie was incredibly responsive and reassuring when I checked in, even sending extra photos for my peace of mind. They continuously refine and improve their practices to be inclusive of all types of dogs, from their daycare program and individual enrichment activities to on-site training and even micro groups for selective dogs. Their commitment to providing tailored care that meets each dog's unique needs sets them apart from the rest. Thank you Paw Pals!

I can not thank the Paw Pals team enough. We got our puppy in the middle of winter, so it was challenging to find ways to help him socialize with other dogs and people. I am so happy we found Paw Pals! Jet was nervous the first time he walked in, but after that, he always walked in with a smile and a wagging tail! They are very accommodating when we send him (3-4 times a month). We don’t send him often, but the few times he has attended daycare shows that it helped him feel comfortable around new dogs and people. We feel at ease knowing he is with kind professionals, exercising and socializing, and the pictures they send us make our day. I can tell the owner is diligent with whom she hires and is a kind and caring professional. Their website is straightforward and easy to navigate. We are going on a few vacations over the summer and plan on sending him here with complete trust that he will be happy and on vacation, too! Thank you Paw Pals!!

The Paw Pals team has been excellent taking care of my pup as I transition back to working in the office! From the dog walking team to the day care and boarding team not only do they keep me updated but they keep my dog very happy. The team also is very accommodating when my schedule changes. And I get the cutest photos! Thanks Paw Pals!

Paw Pals is the best - our dogs love to go there. The last time we boarded them, Paw Pals literally saved our summer vacation - one of our dogs needed a visit to the vet while we were away (non serious but needed to go) and the owner took her for us so we didn’t have to disappoint our kids and cut our trip short. They always take great care of our babies and go above and beyond.

To say Paw Pals is an amazing day care/boarding facility would be an understatement. I have trusted Brittanie and her team with my fur baby since 2021. The Paw Pals team have loved on and cared for my baby as if he is truly apart of their family. I have always been exceptionally pleased and grateful for their care, attention to detail with enrichment activities and the health & welfare of my fur baby, and frequent updates/communication to include pictures. Joey loves going to “school” to see his friends and the staff. Thank you, Paw Pals for being a reliable, trustworthy, safe, and fun establishment! I can’t say enough— thank you for working with me and last minute bookings, taking care of Joey if I was across or out of the country or simply running boring, adult errands! You all are awesome and appreciated!

My two dogs totally enjoy their time spent at Paw Pals. They love coming and can’t get inside fast enough to play with staff and friends. Staff is super friendly and always make me feel as though my guys are welcome there. It’s the best doggy day care I have ever used.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Paw Pals From the moment I walked in, I knew my furry friend was in excellent hands. The staff at Paw Pals are not just pet caregivers; they are true animal lovers who go above and beyond to ensure every dog feels like a VIP. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could dream of, from cozy beds to fun toys and engaging activities. What sets Paw Pals apart is their personalized care and attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether it's playtime, socialization, or just some extra cuddles, the staff always make sure every dog is happy and comfortable. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my furry companion is safe and having a blast at Paw Pals The regular updates and photos they provide throughout the day are a wonderful touch that keeps me connected and reassured. If you're looking for a top-notch doggie day care where your pet will be treated like family, look no further than Paw Pals . I highly recommend them to any pet parent seeking a safe and loving environment for their furry friend. Thank you, paw Pals , for being a home away from home for my beloved pet!

Paw pals exceeded our expectations! This was our first experience boarding our extremely nervous dog and the entire staff took such good care of our dog and our family! They sent two report cards a day with a written and picture update and made us feel so at ease while we were away on our vacation. Our family would highly recommend paw pals to anyone looking for care for their dog!! We will absolutely be using them again in the future and appreciate all the love and care that they put into caring for animals!

Excellent, clean environment, great private luxury accommodations for all types of dogs & a caring , attentive staff 👍. Wonderful services available at great value for prices 👍. I feel secure that my baby “Junior”is safe & loved while I’m away! Go for a tour & you will agree! I am a Veterinary professional for 20 years & have been to many facilities but this one has them all beat hands down!! Thanks, Kathie Y

Went on a tour here and took our dogs for evaluations. The facility is gorgeous and very well kept. We saw a video of our dogs on social media which was fine. I also called to check on my dogs before they posted the video since it was their first doggy daycare. In the video, we didn’t love the volume of dogs in the play area. The dogs did great with their evaluation and the staff is absolutely lovely. We just noticed our dogs looked overwhelmed with all the other dogs there (it was close to 30 total that day). We were told max capacity is 75 dogs in a play area and they have appropriate staffing when they get to those volumes. I think it’s just a personal preference that we want our dogs in a smaller group environment so they aren’t overwhelmed. If it weren’t for the volume of dogs that go to this daycare, we would’ve used them daily but it just didn’t feel like a good fit for our pups

Our dog Lucy has stayed with K 9 Resorts a couple of times. One short weekend and then a two week stay while we are out of the country. When we picked her up on our return, she was excited, friendly, and very happy. All indications to us is our dog had a good time, looked healthy, and smelled fresh and clean from her pick up day bath. We are going away in late October and Lucy will definitely be staying at K 9 Resorts. By the way, after that Original short day, Lucy seemed excited when she went through the door going in for the two weeks stay, she liked the place, and that’s a great sign. Thanks so much for taking great care of her.

Sawyer loves hanging out with his doggie friends. The staff always takes such good care of him and he comes home happy and tired! We recently left him for 3 weeks and we worried about the length of time, but he came home happy and healthy.

My baby boy loves this place like a second home! It’s spotless and the staff is incredible (especially the assistant manager Lynette). As an over protective millennial dog mom I trust K9 resorts 100%. You can tell that everyone genuinely loves the dogs. I have peace of mind knowing he's happy and safe playing with his friends while I’m working. I have tried other camps before but none compare!

I can’t begin to say how thrilled we are w/ K9 resorts/ Emerson! The facility spotless, and each person there ultra-friendly and accommodating! They are all dog lovers- and doggone it! 🤗 It shows!! - great experience! The video of the dogs in the play-setting made one feel extra- secure and happy our Bentley was so wonderfully cared- for. Superb place-

Thank you so much, K 9 Resort in Emerson I very highly recommend this resort with a friendly and helpful staff thank you, Grace and Natalie for treating me and Brasi like family. He had lots of fun today on his trial. Can’t wait to come again. peter& Brasi 🐾 …

The best solution is when we have to leave our baby for a while. They are really caring and thoughtful! My baby is a 3-pound teacup, so I had to find a place I could fully trust. I'm glad I found it!

K9 Resorts is very well run with a staff that cares about the dogs staying there. It was the first time my dogs were boarded and I felt comfortable taking them there and was very happy with their care during their stay!

We have been using K9 Resorts in Fairfield for over 5 years and recently had to switch to the Emerson location due to renovations. They were so incredible in helping us with our reservations. Their facility is top notch and the staff is so sweet. We left our girl in loving hands.

I can't think of any company/retailer/store I've been happier to find in the past several years that we use on a consistent basis. Doggy Deuce has been our pooper scooping service for many many years, 3 dogs and counting. We now use them for pet sitting while we're away on vacation or just for overnights. While we're away, we get pictures of them, updates on how they're doing and Chris even goes the extra mile and offers to bring in our mail and take care of the pool while we're gone. I challenge anyone to find a small business that offers such service! Also, when I'm looking for any other service recommendation, (window washing, pool closing, carpet cleaning, etc.) Chris from Doggy Deuce always knows the best businesses to call upon. He's part of a big network of local businesses that have proven to be trustworthy and capable; the best can always recommend the best. Doggy Deuce is also an active advocate for pet adoption and strongly care about the welfare of animals. And the office staff is extremely attentive and available, returning emails and calls with very quick turnaround. This company is the real deal. I've recommended them to 3 other families on my block who now also use them! Our pets are our family, our house is our home, and I wouldn't trust either of them to anyone but Doggy Deuce. I'd be happy to offer a personal recommendation to anyone who reaches out.

We have been using them for a couple of years now. Our last trip away I scheduled them to visit my home twice a day for 3 days to take care of my 15-1/2 yr old Yorkie who is partially blind and deaf. On the final day of service I received an invoice I could not open so I emailed them back and requested it sent in a different format. The following day on our way home from our trip I received a call from Becky advising me that unfortunately, she mixed up the dates and no one visited my home to take care of my dog for 3 days. She proceeded to explain she was sick the day she took my appointment and probably shouldn't have been making appointments. What I don't understand is how an invoice is sent for the correct dates, but yet the dates were mixed up. These people are lucky my dog was alive. Barely alive, but she was! The dog was without water for 3 days. One more day and I doubt she would've survived. This is a huge mistake! This is a life we are talking about here. These mistakes cannot happen. I was very upset and angry and refused to further speak to them. There is nothing they can do to make this OK other than REFUND me my money they took without providing services! I would never recommend them to anyone!

I have been using doggie deuce now for over four years and they are amazing! I use them for both dog boarding and pooper scooper and they are super dependable, accommodating and (in my opinion) reasonably priced. Chris (the owner) and Jen (the manager) are super nice and you get a sense that they truly love what they do and the dogs. My dogs actually look happy when they leave to stay there while we are on vacation. While the dogs are there- they send pictures and updates which is awesome. I cannot say enough how much I love them and how much easier it is having them in our life. If you love your dogs as much as we do- you definitely want to give them a try the next time you are going away.

In addition to loving and caring for my own personal dogs, I spend much of my time rescuing animals in need. As a result, my yard tends to suffer. I enlisted the help of Doggy Deuce a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. The service is extremely reliable and the staff is friendly and pleasant.

I have been using Doggie Deuce for my dog Chase. They are incredible in so many ways. They care for my pet as much as I do. They are reliable, trustworthy, honest, caring and I would use no one else for my boy. I use them as a walker and also for a stay when I am away. Chris is an incredible owner and always makes me feel that my dog is in GREAT hands. Thats enough for me to rate this wonderful company ...EXCELLENT!!!!! Also, the girls in charge of the scheduling are efficient!! All GOOD..Thanks again, Doggie Deuce..

Unfortunately this company has yet again failed to properly trained or communicate with their new staff. Once again one of the their employees have left my gate open for my two pit bulls which are not dog friendly. They were instructed since the beginning to call my phone before they came so we can ensure the dogs were inside, but they failed to do that too. If he was confused as I was told. He should have called the office, myself or rescheduled. I find it very disturbing and hard to understand the lack of common sense of this person. He not only put my dogs in danger but other dogs too.

Doggy Deuce watches my pup when I go out of town and she has so much fun. They take such great care of her and make sure she is treated like a princess.

Chris and his team are the BEST. He has an innate gift with animals and is truly a dog whisperer.

A fabulous service! I've used them for years now & I'm very happy! I recommend them as highly as possible!!!!

Stone was fire! 🔥🔥🔥 …

My experience with Musbro has been nothing short of extraordinary. Maverick my 11-month Shepky has been going there since July 8th. Musbro is the place I was looking for and finally found. The staff at Musbro has put up with my crazy dog mom questions before he started and made me feel at ease brining Maverick and transitioning him to a new place after a nasty experience at a previous place resulting in a vet visit and diagnosis with stress colitis. Nicole, and Brittany are the most welcoming every morning, I can recall day 2 they knew Maverick and greeted him. I said I don’t even care if they knew my name, but it meant the world they remembered his name by day two. Musbro is the place where I feel comfortable sending Maverick, because they treat the dogs as their own. Maverick is a bit spoiled; I mention that Maverick likes to eat around people, they accommodated that, Maverick has eaten with Gregg. The services and care Maverick has received has made this transition and socialization experience so easy and I even stopped calling every day! (That’s HUGE for me). Clearly Maverick cannot tell me he loves it but there are signs that show me such as, He literally greets Brittany or Nicole and jobs up on the counter, He gets a “Good Morning Maverick”, They are seriously wonderful with Maverick and his energy. I am so pleased and can’t thank them enough for taking Maverick and caring for him as I would when I am at work.

This place is awesome ! Rocky, our Aussie literally breaks the door to get in when we bring him there and he’s always super happy tired when we pick him up . See the photo below for proof 😅 …

Our dog is very comfortable with the staff. I use the grooming services and have been very pleased. Emily does a great job. Appointments are very flexible. Staff is friendly and accommodating. It's worth the half hour drive. I highly recommend Musbro. I haven't used the boarding services or day care yet, so I can't comment on that.

Love Musbro. Teddy is here for daycare 2-3 days every week. He can't wait to get there and is surely getting a ton of playtime everyday. Even when the weather is bad, he's still tired when I pick him up. I've also had him groomed here. He looked great with his new haircut. The owners and their staff are so nice, professional and friendly and I know the staff gives my dog the attention he needs throughout the day. It's nice to do business with businesses like this.

We LOVE this place. The staff is amazing. Greg and his girls and the remainder of the staff are amazing. My dog LOVES this place. She runs in and jumps up to get her cookie and comes home exhausted. I feel comfortable boarding my Barkley with them and I have never had any concerns or attitude from anyone who works there. Not sure what this other lady is talking about - everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Family owned and operated, full service center! They offer grooming, doggie day care and boarding! They care for your pet as you would and my dogs have always been happy to spend time there.

Words can’t describe how amazing the team at Musbro Kennels is! It’s run by a wonderfully caring and hard working family. Our pup loves spending time here whether it’s for daycare, boarding and/or grooming. The family team at Musbro is passionate about providing the best care and services to all. I fully trust that our dog is well taken care of and can’t recommend Musbro Kennels enough. Thank you for all that you do!!

They are the best. They have cared for and still care for my childhood dogs and now my own dog. They have a groomer and the cut is always perfect and the dogs come home smelling so clean. They are the only people I would use to watch my pups for anything. Not saying you should do this, please give the fine folks at Musbro nice notice, but they have never said no, nor have they ever turned us away, eve the day of. Superb and the most reliable.

Great doggy daycare spot. My puppy loves every day he gets to spend at Musbro, and the whole staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I can tell my pup is being well taken care of, and getting all sorts of playtime and love. Clean, no-frills establishment. Well priced. Have also had good grooming and boarding experiences, but mostly visit them for daycare.

Love this place. But not as much as my dog does. For those who have posted recently looking for perfect timing and everything to your liking, I wonder if you’re also the type that complains when the lines are too long in retail stores? My response to that is always ‘I’m sure they’re hiring’. If one needs a bougie grooming place with valet service on a silver platter, there are other locations (probably also the same places who board dogs yet leave them alone in a building from 7p to 6a). This family run business loves the animals that they keep, runs a great business, and silly ranting, inconsequential reviews hurt them. I can’t think of a better place to leave our dog for a day, weekend, or a long time away.

Max loves Pet Lodge! He goes for daycare to get a play date, and he boards there when we have to travel when he doesn't get to go with us. The staff are great and go above and beyond to take care of the pets. They have grooming facilities, too!

This place is great for boarding or grooming. The staff all totally love dogs. They are all very experienced. The groomers have decades of experience also. They do a great job with my poodles. Everyone from Peace4Paws who bring their dogs here [adopted from us] love them. Jac Ciardella the owner is super knowledgeable, accomplished and accomodating

Our dog Neville loves it here. We Love that he gets to run around outside and play with other dogs. Always look forward to seeing daily pics they upload to FB and Insta of Nev running around.

I have been taking my dogs here for grooming and boarding for 5 years. I am grateful for the care and professionalism they demonstrate. Thank you for your amazing service and care.

Pet lodge has been an absolute heaven-sent for my dog (and me)! My dog isn’t the most affectionate dog. She loves to show aggression and teeth 😈 🤦🏻‍♀️ but Jac and the entire team just know what to do. Their love for dogs is expressed by how well they take care of each and every dog—catering to what a dog needs individually. I appreciate how well they groom and how fast they can do it, as well. I picked up my dog in less than two hours for a full groom! Also, easy to make appts. I usually book via email. Matty at the front desk is super sweet and welcoming. That’s another plus! Thank you Pet Lodge for being so great to Maggie (and again, me)!!!

My dogs had a great experience at the Pet Lodge. The facility is clean, and the staff is caring and attentive. They also got a bath and nails done. All three of them came back happy after their seven day vacation. I will be using them again.

This place felt misleading as I was under the impression it was more of a farm style to lodge your dog as I'm not a fan of boarding them traditionally. As soon as I arrived, my dog was taken somewhere. Meanwhile, they handed me a sheet of paper asking me to sign it when it just had her name and how much she ate on it. Then they tried to send me on my way. I had to ask to be shown around as to where they kept the dogs during the day and at night. In the two minutes I was "shown" the property, my dog was nowhere in sight. Upon departure, I had let them know a generic time of when I'd be back to pick her up. Ie Monday morning. Upon arriving at almost 11am to pick her up, my dog was still locked in the kennel. Not only did she smell of urine but her whole butt was raw from god knows what. I didn't see the owners once even though this is really just their house with an addition and a caged in backyard next to a cemetery. You can only pay with check or cash and things seemed quite transactional. I personally don't recommend and am quite shocked by the glowing reviews. My dog was very excited to leave.

I recently took my bernedoodle to Pet Lodge and Day Spa for grooming, and I am thrilled with the experience. Jac and his team were friendly and attentive, making my dog feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The groomers were skilled and knowledgeable, delivering an exceptional grooming service that left my dog looking great. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and they're in the process of installing brand-new epoxy flooring throughout the entire facility showcasing their commitment to hygiene. I highly recommend Pet Lodge and Day Spa for anyone seeking professional and caring grooming services for their furry companions.

I took my 12 year old Shih Tzu, Chanel, here for the first time since Petsmart Grooming rejected her after she’s been going there for years. The entire staff is so welcoming and Jac truly took such great care of my Chanel girl. We are so grateful to have found such great groomers. 1000/10 recommend!!!!

The Pet Lodge is a wonderful facility for your fur baby. My dog loves playing in the spacious, safe, and well-supervised yard. The staff truly loves and cares for your pet, and it shows! My fur baby runs right in and knows he will be very well taken care of. He loves playing with all the other dogs too. It's like a home away from home:) We are so grateful for all they do!
