Megan did a great job caring for our 100 lb dog and cat for a weekend. She was on time, communicative and kept our home clean and tidy.
Taking care of Daphne was a pleasure! She is such a sweet kitten, loves to play and pets, but can be a little timid around sudden movements. Charlotte's flat is lovely, with a big sunny garden and spacious living area in a fab area. She was very helpful and quick to respond. I'd catsit for her again!
I had a great time caring for Islay and the apartment for Helen in South Croydon. Islay is a snugglebug who loves to sleep on your chest near your neck! She is easy to care for and loves being brushed and to enjoy a little playing. While she does enjoy going outside, she was a little under the weather so had to settle for the balcony. I miss her already! Helen's home is an easy commute to central London. There's a bus stop right outside the building, 5 stops to the train station with frequent trains to London Bridge or Victoria Stations. The walk to the train station is also only 20 or so minutes. Shopping wasn't an issue with a small grocery shop less than 10 minutes walk, and a larger one 15 minutes. Lots of other shops and dining opportunities were close as well. Her flat was comfortable, quiet and had everything needed for a great stay. Helen is friendly, easy-going and invited me the night before since she was leaving early. We chatted for quite a while, on her departure and return. Even from the jungles of Africa, we managed to be in touch and sort any issues out. One of the best perks of pet sitting is the new friends you make... Helen and Islay included! I would be happy to return and can recommend sitting here if you have the opportunity.
My time in Portobello was truly special. Francis was really welcoming and flexible with my arrival. Communication was excellent. Misha is sweet, cuddly, well behaved, and will steal your heart ❤️ Daily walks on the beach are spectacular, and it was nice meeting some of the friendly regulars. The house is beautiful, roomy, with lots of natural light, and in a great location. I highly recommend sitting for Francis!
Oh dear, you absolutely love looking after jasper. He's a total character. He loves to play and sit near you, which is such a comfort when travelling. Overall, he's self-sufficient. The house is amazing and absolutely beautiful and has a gorgeous little backyard. It made my stay so homely. The place is so close to transport less than 3 min to the bus. If you have a chance, go meet jasper. You won't regret it. Jasper's fur parents are very helpful and clearly love their baby boy. And can I say again the house is just gorgeous. Apply!! if I was in London again, I'd be looking up when Jasper is free.
I had a wonderful time watching Ari and Waylon! The only 4 stars I gave was that the amount of feeding for each animal wasn’t clear at the beginning so I panicked a little. However, Kayleigh was really clear and fast when communicating over text so it was a relatively easy fix. Their home is cozy and secluded which was nice for this momma who needed some alone time to focus on work. The WiFi can be temperamental, and that was clearly explained before the sit and in the Welcome Gyide so I was ready for it. Waylon is high energy and loves to play, but is the best snuggle bug! Would definitely sit for them again!
All way round the best sit in Bay Area! Very sweet and intelligent cats, cool hosts and the best view house. I miss the cats, they are my favorite work from home office mates, I miss the sunset , and Maja is very supportive and a wonderful cat mom. I cannot wait to sit Foxen and Lumi again.

I highly recommend this training facility. The staff is nothing short from amazing! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and happy to help you. I took the Therapy Dog Class here with Beth and just finished the Trick Dog Class with Adria. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Adria is an excellent trainer. She was able to show me how to teach my dogs tricks I never thought my dog could learn, and the way she would teach us my dog caught on within the first minute! This is a facility I am very willing to travel to! Happy Tails Ranch, thank you for offering such fun classes! Your staff is excellent!
The Best kennel where my dogs loved to stay!!! They don’t even say goodbye when I drop them off. Amy Bieri the owner is also the best Boxer Breeder I know. She has the most beautiful looking boxers with very good behavior. I just purchased my second boxer from her and this time I decided to make his a show dog. If you never got a boxer from her and you are considering a cheaper option then her don’t do it!!! She is very experienced in breeding, showing boxers and I give up on $1500 puppy from another person and bought my lovely puppy from Amy. Check pictures for my previous boxer who passed away in April and out new puppy!!!
Love this place. Penny always comes home so tired and he gets so excited whenever we pull into the parking lot of Happy Tails Ranch. Also, the staff are incredibly friendly and care about the dogs. We’ve taken our fur baby to a couple of different doggy daycares in the McHenry area and to say that NONE OF THEM even come CLOSE to Happy Tails Ranch is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Happy Tails Ranch is the BEST doggy daycare around!
I have been a customer at Happy Tails for 20 years, with 3 different dogs. This is a caring facility with a great staff. We have used the grooming, doggy daycare, boarding, board & train, private training sessions and group classes. Each of my rescue dogs have had issues with leash reactivity, and the trainers at HTR have been a godsend. Truly life changing stuff! One thing I appreciate is that the staff will customize care for dogs, for example they provide one-on-one time for my fearful, skittish dog. They insure safe, controlled socialization which has been amazing. When I leave my dogs for daycare and boarding, I know they are in good hands and are well cared for - this gives me peace of mind. I have worked with multiple HTR trainers, including Amy the owner, and they are all excellent. They are truly invested in our success and are very knowledgeable and caring. To be honest, it feels like family. I’m really grateful for the services and level of care provided by HTR.
We were looking for a new place to board our dog and we took a chance on Happy Tails Ranch and we were not disappointed. They took such good care of our Dixie girl!! We booked another overnight and we are considering extra training for her. Thank you for a great experience!!!
Great trainers. They are a pleasure to work with. The trainers are great working with my labadore. When Mississippi Belle gets private training they send videos while training Mississippi. Can't say enough great things about Happy Tails Ranch. Mississippi Belle loves going there she gets so very excited to go.
They take such good care of our dog. The classes have been fantastic as well! Great staff!
Great Place to train, fabulous trainers, and wonderful team. They have the ability to modify their teaching to the people/ dogs needs.
Excellent facility! The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and they are great with dogs. We have used their kennel services as well as their training facilities and classes - 10/10 My (boxer) girls love coming here and I cannot recommend them enough.
Judging how our dog wants to go play at Happy Tails I have to rate it 5 stars! Staff are knowledgable, friendly, observant, accomodating and responsible. No better place for one-stop dog care: daycare, training, grooming, and boarding
Our family suddenly had a great opportunity that would take us traveling almost every weekend for months! First thought was..."who is going to take care of our cats?". I didn't have time to do the extensive research, I usually do, and I did a search and Tails-a-Waggin 4U popped up. I phoned Peggy, and instantly got a great feeling from her. We have now been using Tails-a-Waggin 4U for awhile now. Peggy is wonderful, and had paired us up with one of her sitters..Linda! I can tell you that we do not have an ounce of concern, about the care our furkids receive, while we are away. I highly recommend Peggy, and her staff. Our cats, and our family, adore Linda. Thank you Tails-a-Waggin 4U
There are no words on how amazing and kind Peggy is! She took care of my fur child Luna (female cat, age 7.5 yrs) for 4 days and was the best. She understood that my gal can be a bit shy and timid around new people and was extremely patient with her. So patient that my cat warmed up to her and allowed Peggy to brush her. She has been the only person, outside of my husband and I, who has been able to accomplish that! We were even surprised to see cute little report cards about Luna. Peggy knows exactly what she’s doing and is always prepared if any situation arises. Anytime we need a pet sitter, we’ll always reach out to Peggy. Cannot recommend her enough!
Peggy is the best! She's helped us out for years by watching our cats and walking our dogs 2-3 times per week. Our pets love her, and she cares for them like they're her own. She is professional, responsive, and very dependable. Couldn't ask for better.
Peggy and our dog walker Colleen have been so amazing to work with. I was nervous to get a dog walker because we just rescued our dog and he is terrified of people and can be aggressive. From the moment I called Peggy she assured me that they are open to dealing with him. Colleen came to me our dog several times before she began walking him and over the past few weeks they have become the best of friends!! He even lets her rub his belly!!! I highly recommend Tails-a-Waggin 4U! Peggy is knowledgeable and so patient!
Excellent service! Peggy came to our rescue when our regular pet sitter suddenly went out of business AND right before a big holiday weekend - so it was hard to find someone fast! She was able to stop by the next day, meet our Muttley and learn his little tricks and took amazing care of him while we were away for a week. She texted photos and updates every day and wrote a report on him each day as well. Really great, affordable, RELIABLE and very great with communication. I highly recommend!
The owner of this small business, Peggy, is a kind and energetic woman who is running an outstanding pet sitting service. She is very quick to respond and just a truly good person. The sitter for our area, Linda, is an absolute darling. I don't think I can truly describe how kind, patient, and caring she is. She consistently makes us feel like we can trust her with our home and pets and like they are more than taken care of. It's like having a reliable community member who can watch our spoiled pets while we're away. I highly recommend this pet sitting service to anyone new or old to the area who needs a pet sitter who they can TRUST to keep their pets safe, happy, and loved.
It was first time I used this company for taking care of my furry piggy. Peggy and her staff did amazing job for taking care of my pet. I had no doubt that my pet will have the best care. If you go out of town, contact Peggy. Your pet will be in good hands.
Linda took a good care of my pet while I was out of town, and Peggy was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely utilize the service of Tails-a-Waggin 4U, again.
Peggy has been a wonderful dog walker for our bichon frishe Samwise. She is very responsible, trustworthy and always takes the best care of our dog. She always leaves notes telling us how he did on his walk, and is very good with our dog because she really knows him. I would recommend them for your pet walking services.
Peggy has been our dog walker for over five years. She is completely reliable, responsible and loves animals! I am so grateful that we found her for Mac.
I was nervous leaving our babies with a pet service for the first time but had no reason to be. Pause 4 pets went above and beyond in the care they provided and exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed all the check ins with updates and pictures. We will definitely be using them again!
We've been clients of Pause for Pets the last 7 years. Suzanne & Leigh are like extended family members, they care for our children (2- schnoodles) as much as we do. We highly recommend and trust the Pause for Pets staff for all our pets needs.
Pause for pets is incredible. They go above and beyond every time. I have been using their services for at least 5 years, multiple times a year and have never had any issues and have always had incredible 5+ star 🌟 service. Susanne the owner is always accessible if my needs change. The rest of the staff is incredible with extra attention to detail. The fact that all the employees have been with the company for multiple years is also a benefit as my kitties get to know and trust them.
I’ve been using Pause for Pets since my pup was 6months, she’s 2.5 now! I could not recommend them enough! Leigh, Amanda and Suzanne are PHENOMENAL. They give my dog plenty of love and attention, always go above and beyond my expectations. I have a random schedule, where at certain times of the year I need a weekly/bi-weekly walk, and other times I don’t. They’ve always been great at accommodating my schedule. You will not be disappointed with their service!
Sent my dog, Sparkle, there Saturday and when I got home the first thing I noticed was the nick so close to her eye. That made me check her ears one was clean and the other wasn’t. When I called them on Monday no let me make it right just a we don’t clean the ears unless asked. Well then why clean one and leave the other and since this was not her first trip her ears were always clean. I guess I need to find a more compassionate groomer for my sweet girl.
Have used Pause For Pets twice now. It's fantastic!!! So easy to schedule and the daily photo updates are wonderful!!! Highly recommended!!
Suzanne and her team take the best care of our goofy dogs! We are so grateful and our dogs love her! We love the updates and photos we get from their walks, such a nice touch
Updating our review: We hired Pause for Pets to care for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. They took care of all the walks, care and feeding, including overnight stays at our home. We have used Susanne’s dog walking service for several years, but this was the first time for extended stays, and they did a wonderful job. It was nice getting reports with photos throughout the day of what our pups were up to, including a final good night post. We returned home to find our girls happy (not having to be boarded in a strange environment), the house thoroughly neat and clean, and the yard free of poops. Not an easy task considering mild temps, rain, and a really muddy yard. We enthusiastically recommend Pause for Pets for any of the services they offer! Pause for Pets pet care has been a great blessing to us and our two dogs. Susanne and her team are consistent, reliable and allow us to go about our workdays without worrying about our dogs being cared for. The website is super easy to use for scheduling, payments and to access the daily reports with photos we love to get. We’ve been using Pause for Pets for quite some time now and give them our very highest recommendation!
Susanne, Leigh, and Cody really put my mind at ease while we were away. This was our first time using pet sitters - we usually board our dogs, but due to our place closing and one of our dog's requiring more TLC, we opted to find a pet sitting service. Right away when I spoke with Susanne, I felt Pause for Pets was professional and thorough. I met with a few other companies but ultimately chose Pause for Pets because of my initial conversation with Susanne and my gut feeling of their reliability and the level of care they'd be able to provide. My gut wasn't wrong! I love the portal Pause for Pets uses - it allowed me to enter in as much detail as I needed regarding our home and our pets. I was also able to see the daily journal entries with information about each visit, along with photos. Next time we need pet sitters, Pause for Pets will be my first call!
This was my first time ever having to leave my dog in the care of someone and I am so glad I found pause for pets!! It was pretty short notice but Susanne was able to accommodate my requests and went above and beyond. I never worried about being gone for the weekend after seeing the level of care she gave to my dog butters. The portal they have is amazing and you can see each visit along with pictures! Susanne is extremely caring and it’s obvious she loves what she does. I will no doubt be using Susanne in the future! Thank you for caring for butters we appreciate you!
My dog and I love fire spirit doggy day care! The employees take the absolute best care of the dogs and they roam free and have so much interaction and play time! It’s a wonderful place for a dog!
This place is fantastic. We recently got a puppy who has a lot of energy who loves coming here. She gets to play all day with many dogs. The staff is amazing and so accommodating to our dogs needs. They always have time for last minute baths and nails. The are extremely friendly and my dog loves them. They are relatively cheap compared to other places and offer many different packages. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my dog. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a place for their dog to make friends and release energy.
Our pup loves going to Free Spirit Doggy Daycare; she practically sprints from the car to the back to go and play. The people who work here are all wonderful, you can tell they truly love dogs and are passionate about them. Tricia did our pups evaluation and we knew right away that we would be bringing our pup here on a regular basis based on how friendly and welcoming she was. She answered all of our questions and I loved that they not only did a people evaluation with our dog, but a dog evaluation with her to make sure she was comfortable and the dogs all got along. We love that we have the ability to watch the dogs play on the tv screen, they always look like they are having a blast. Highly recommend bringing your dog here if you’re looking to burn some energy or your pup loves other dogs and wants to socialize.
They took great care of my dog. He hurt his paw playing with the boarders and free spirit called me to tell me. After discussion they took him to the vet to get checked out. He was fine just a bruise. They kept him separated so he can heal. 3 days later I picked him up and he was fine back to normal. I totally recommend FREE SPIRIT. Thank you for great service.
LOVE THIS PLACE! Leaving my dogs is never easy...but Free Spirit makes me feel much better about it. The staff is always SO friendly!! I am able to call whenever to check up and they tell me exactly what my doggies are up too. All the staff seems very knowledgeable as well. They have helped one of my dogs socialize with other dogs better, as she was not so good at this to start with. Great knowing they are in good hands!
If you are looking for a safe healthy environment to board your fuzzy, I highly recommend this location. My fuzzy always acts wild and crazy when on a leash. I took him here for a few days and he completely loved being with a pack of dogs. The staff made us feel super safe about having him their and catered to our peculiar needs for our fuzzy.
I called last minute and they were able to get my 2 boxers in quickly. Great job on grooming and my dogs were at ease immediately with them, which does not always happen. I am impressed and will be using them regularly. Pricing is very reasonable.
Irina loves going to doggy daycare at Free Spirit. The facility is so clean, smells great, and the staff is wonderful and very friendly. We've been coming here for months and I don't worry at all as I know she's happy and treated fantastic. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furbaby.
Cage free daycare. I love to see my dogs to play with other dogs freely. Price is reasonable. We have sent our dogs there from time to time for over 3 years. Wish they could have discount or pass packages for boarding.
We've been bringing our dogs here for the past year and a half. The facility is very clean, and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. It really says something that our dogs literally jump out of the car and pull on their leashes trying to get inside. They love it here!
Tyler and his team are the best around! Our golden retriever absolutely adored him for his daily walks. They were always extremely flexible with our crazy schedules, and we always loved getting picture updates during their walks. Would recommend these guys to everybody!
Tyler and his team are the best. Professional, communicative, and treat our dog like their own. We've used them for years. Hank loves his visit with Tyler!
Tyler and team are our go to whenever we go out of town. Our 2 cats and dog love the visits from him and his team and we love the great and dependable service he provides.
We had a great experience with this pet service. They are professional, responsive and genuinely cared for our dogs while we were out of town. I recommend this company and plan to use them for all future pet service needs!
Great place for dogs of all sizes. Staff is friendly and very helpful. They take good care of our dog during the day while we are at work. We love this place and would recommend it to anyone!
My dog really likes this place. They have good pricing, a nice facility, and convenient hours. I do wish they offered full grooming services but they do offer baths and nail trims.
Our Sunny is not the type of dog to like being left (as a rescue there's some past trauma there) but boy does he seem to really enjoy playing with the other dogs! When we have to leave him, paws on Pingree is the place to trust.
The staff and facility are wonderful. My senior "Winston" was always happy to go and did very well there. It is clean, organized and accommodating. After Winston passed the staff sent a photo that had been taken at some point and a kind and warm note. I would always recommend based on my experience.
Paws on Pingree is a great place for people who work full time and need daily care for their pets. It’s also a good solution for when you are going out of town (but only for a few days because it’s EXTREMELY exhausting and stressful for the dogs so I would never leave mine there for more than 2 nights). The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because they seem to have a hard time managing the rarely talked about, but very real, poop-eating problem. My dog contracted Giardia from there on 2 different occasions and when I called to figure out what they can do to rid the place of the nasty parasite, they pretty much said they couldn’t do anything. To their credit, they listened to me on several occasions while I tried to provide some suggestions on how to help with the issue, and also separated her from the big dogs while she was a puppy which seemed to help. I love all the staff who work here, and my dogs love them too. The prices are a little steep, but for the quality of service it’s worth it. My dogs always bound in there like it’s the best thing ever, and then they come out like they have had so much fun and are totally exhausted. It’s also a great way to help your dog build confidence, my young pit bull mix was very shy and timid at first, and was so scared to come, but after about 3-4 times she learned what a fun place it is and it really helped with her confidence.
We’ve been taking our dogs here since 2017 and absolutely love it. It’s a great way to socialize your dog from a young age, and my two dogs love “going to see their friends”. I always feel comfortable boarding them, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other places. The staff is amazing and they all are trained and just simply love dogs. I always can relax knowing my dogs are being loved and well taken care of. They come home happy and exhausted. The staff also does a great job with mail trims which is a bonus! Thanks for caring for Caribou and Hippo! ☺️
This place is the BEST place to bring your dog or pup. Paws has always been extremely welcoming, clean, professional and goes above and beyond to make you and your dog feel comfortable and at home. We’ve had our pup for day-care and extended overnight stays and Paws on Pingree has exceeded our expectations every time. We trust them with our pup always, and hope you do too!
Been taking our dog here regularly for 2 years now. I love the staff, she loves the staff, and we’ve never had a problem since taking her here! The bath option is awesome too. So convenient! I ❤️ Paws!
Our dog is loved here! And she loves to come. The membership price is super reasonable for what you get, and the employees really love the dogs. They also have a snapchat account, it's fun to take a break during the day and look to see what all the pups are up to. The Manager, Christy/Christie, is super sweet and personable. Everyone here knows my pup by name, and we feel good about trusting this daycare with our pup. We use them for daycare, baths, and boarding and will continue to!
We (doggies included) love Paws! The come home exhausted and happy every time. I love how the staff builds relationships with each of the dogs and you can genuinely tell they care about the dogs in their care. So fun dropping our dogs off and seeing how excited they are to be there!
With a dog and 2 cats, there is always a "what am I going to do?!" moment when I'm called out of town --- but I relax as soon as I remember Jessie! Critter Sitters has come through for me every time, even for last minute plans! I rest easy knowing Jessie is taking great care of my little buddies. :)
Jessie has a connection with animals that every pet sitter should hope for. Animals LOVE Jessie and she loves them right back. There are few people that I would trust with my pets and Jessie is at the top of the list. Not only is she a great sitter/walker/playmate, but she is also educated in the medical aspect of animals. She knows what to look for if a pet is not feeling well or acting a bit off. To have someone there when you are not that can quickly make the right decision is so important to a pet owner. Jessie does indeed got the extra mile for all of her clients and I couldn't think of a better person to be with my pets when I can't.
We have two big labs that Jessie takes care of when we are out of town. It is so nice to be able to leave them at home and not worry about bringing them to the kennel. We know they are well attended to by Jessie!
Jessie is amazing with my dogs. They get so excited to see her. She is very dependable and responsible. I highly recommend her!
Jessie is truly the dog whisperer… I only trust her taking care of my animals! She understands dogs and how to treat them! She spoils my pups in a very healthy way!
I never had to worry about my dog at all! Jessie took care of all the details with love and reliability! Great to know I can have my four legged family member cared for just like I do!
Knowing my dog is safe at home allows me to not worry about her while I'm away. Jessie makes that happen.
Fantastic service and very reliable! The BEST pet sitter ever!
Best pet sitters I have ever used! I’m so glad I found them! Extremely reliable and took excellent care of my cats. .
We've been working with Bright Star for a few years now -- they're the best! They are reliable and treat our 3 dogs so well. I feel my pups are in safe hands. Kristen B has been our most recent walker and she always goes above and beyond. Many thanks to Bright Star and the team!
I have tried private dog walking services and Rover. Nothing was reliable or as good as this service. My dog is the love of my life and this company understands that and is the best thing that has happened for my baby. They are reliable, loving, and trustworthy. I can't express the gratitude I have for the last few months of care. They are there for my baby even last minute as my schedule is so chaotic. Give them a try you will not be disappointed. They give you amazing pictures and the sweetest updates.
I cannot say enough good things about Anita, Nick & Karen! They looked after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for a week and I could not have asked for better service & care for our pets. They were kind, patient, observant & trustworthy. Being the first time I have used a pet sitter service - I was anxious. But on the first meet & greet, Anita & Nick immediately put me at ease. I met Karen on a second visit and knew that I could trust the Bright Star team with our cats. The website to set up our account, pet details, schedule visits & input our home info was easy to use and navigate. Payment methods were straightforward with competitive rates. I was provided with an app to download on my phone where I could communicate with the team and get updates, as well as manage my account. While we were away - one of our cats proved particularly difficult and the Bright Star team went above & beyond to ensure he was taken care of, as well as our other cat who was less shy & finicky. Each sitter provided a detailed report after each visit via the Time to Pet app letting us know how our cats were doing, complete with pictures. I asked A LOT of questions while we were away, and the team were patient & responsive to answer them all. I trusted Anita, Nick & Karen with my cats and our home and would 100% recommend them for pet sitting services.
Absolutely the only people I trust with my family. With 2 dogs, four cats and 2 tortoises in our home, we need a responsible company to comprehensively take care of them. No matter what, I can rely on this excellent group of people. The photo updates when I am not in town make me so happy!
We have been using Bright Star for close to five years to care for our pets when we travel and/or are away from the for extended lengths of time. Their care has always been top notch. They are reliable, trustworthy and most of all caring towards our animals. They provide photos and written updates after every visit via their customer portal which also includes emails. It gives us woo much peace of mind to see them and know they are doing well. In addition, they make sure our garbage is taken out, they retrieve our mail and water our plants. I highly recommend Bright Star.
Bright Star Pet Services are the best! They are very thorough, kind, and go above and beyond with their care. Receiving the daily updates, along with pictures taken daily of our pets, eases our minds while we are out of town. During our last trip, our flight was canceled due to weather, and we needed a last minute emergency visit of our pets. They immediately contacted us back and promptly went to check on our pets. Highly recommend. We feel so fortunate to have found the people of Bright Star!
Jessica has been taking care of our dog for over a year and a half. We interviewed several dog sitters in the area, none compared to Jessica! She had an instant connection with our dog and she was very trustworthy. She has adapted to our ever changing schedule and is more than willing to be flexible. Our dog just loves her! Jessica goes above and beyond what you would typically ask of any dog sitter. She is reliable and honest. Most importantly, she truly cares for our dog. We have recommended her to several of our neighbors and close friends. She is a STAR!
As always, I am super pleased with Bright Star Pet Services. Kris really did an outstanding job of taking care of my diabetic cat who needs insulin shots 2x per day, and my other five kitties...yes, five, who are on prescription diets. I was able to take a trip without worrying. So glad for their professional service! Would highly recommend!!!
We have been using Anita at Bright Star for 4 years to take care of our 2 German Shepherds and cat. I don’t what we would do without her over and above service. I trust them in my home and our animals love them. I am not a trusting person either. Especially with my animals. I 100% recommend them
We rented out the pond for our dogs to play, they had a blast! It was so clean and the owner is so Nice and helpful! I will definitely be back , thank you for a great time!
We've been dropping our dogs off with Kathy for years! Her and her staff are amazing. I know nobody is going to treat Evie & Green Bean with the level of care they get here. Love this place!
I have been bringing my dogs to Gypsy Glen K-9 Kastle since 2014. My dogs spend several long weekends and week long visits every year. I know they are treated with love, kindness, and are in safe hands with people I trust.
We have been taking our fur baby to Gypsy Glen for 7 years since we adopted him. Kathy has given numerous tips to keep our dog happy and healthy - from natural dog treats, exercises to training instructions. Given Kathy's background of training K9 for police and fire, our dog is always better behaved when he comes home. We trust Kathy to keep up with the same level of discipline we give our dog. Kathy has been generous with samples of treats and food items so our dog can try different things before we purchase them. The staff is also very conscientious about making sure that the fur babies are in good health when they stay at Gypsy Glen so all other fur babies don't get sick. We always have to provide proof of yearly vaccinations, which gives us peace of mind that our dog is safe from potential life-threatening illnesses.
I wish I could give more stars. It is wonderful to find a place that loves and protects dogs. Kathy the owner spent a lot of time with my dog, a big muscular pit bull type mix who did NOT want her long claws clipped, was afraid to be someplace new. Kathy was so patient and kind, my dog eventually realized she was being helped, but first put up a big fight. Kathy knows, understands, & loves dogs. Gypsy Glen was created for the mental, physical benefit of the dogs in her care. I trust them completely, and there is no higher recommendation than to be able to feel that way.
Kathy was so wonderful with our dogs, both rescues with kennel anxiety. They were very much at ease when we dropped them off and picked them up. The facility is clean, and Kathy and her staff are very attentive. They don't just make sure the dogs are fed and let out - they truly care for your pet as if they were theirs. We will not take our dogs anywhere else!!
I have been bringing my dog to the kennel for at least 5 years Our dog has high anxiety and he is ALWAYS happy to see Kathy and stay at the kennel. He starts to get excited the minute he sees the kennel. I would HIGHLY recommend boarding at the kennel,
My experience with Kathy dates back almost 30 yrs ago. I purchased a black Lab from her. The dog was a beautiful & VERY HEALTHY pup, he just loved to run & had a big mind of his own. I had kids in diapers & this dog would sneak out all the time & just go run. Kathy worked with the dog & I for quite sometime, to try to get him to come to us. He literally would hear his name & run. We worked for months to no avail. She bought the dog back from me, spent 3 more years training him to sniff out Arsenic fires. The pup moved to Tx, to live his life with the Chief of the Fire Dept. Funny thing he’d still run, but all they had to do was start the car & he’d come back! Lol My point is..... How many breeders invest 3 years into training a dog that failed obedience classes 3x & give you your money back for the pup & the classes! Kathy was one of the most ETHICAL DOG BREEDERS around. I would not hesitate to bring my pup to her!!!
We have a 8 year old shep/dane mix who can be quite a handful. Our pup has been full of anxiety as long as we can remember, but Kathy has always gone the extra mile to make him feel comfortable. She gives him an extra large kennel (when available), she puts up a sheet to make sure he can get worked up from seeing other dogs, she even notices things hot spots and tends to them if needed. Kathy is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure our boy has a happy stay. He is always excited to get to Gypsie Glen K9 Castle, but more excited to come home. Just the way we like it! Gypsie Glen K9 Castle is the ONLY boarding facility I would trust my dogs to.
very knowledgeable dog owner/trainer. very professional. They have more than 50 acres of land devoted to animal care and boarding. Kathy is very experienced with german shepherds, and has actually started "Police K-9" and "Search and Rescue" programs for a few different local cities/counties. Easy to work with and very accommodating.
Juli and her team are fantastic! Not only do they treat our dogs like gold, but they are responsive, friendly, and trustworthy. There have been multiple times where they have even taken care of last minute emergency visits for us. Our dogs love them! We can't recommend them enough.
Juli and her team took great care of our "kids" while we were gone for almost a month. Healthy, happy and everything clean when we got home. We appreciated her answering our texts promptly while we were gone to reassure us all was fine (we had very limited cell coverage most of the time) . I like the website scheduling as a lot of information can be entered about each pet and if something changes, it is easy to let her know via the site.
Juli and her staff are great! Our cat doesn't need a lot of care, so having them visit a couple times while we're out of town is exactly what we need. They are very reliable
Juli and the Paw Prints team are the best! We know that our dog Lily is getting the best care and that allows us to enjoy our vacation. Juli and her staff not only take great care of Lily but the small details like leaving us a daily note and taking care of our house really is a nice touch. We appreciate everything they do and Lily loves them too. We arrive home to a happy dog, every time. We highly recommend Paw Prints Pet Care to everyone!
I have been a client for over 8 years. Juli and her team are the best! They are timely, caring, responsible and trustworthy. I would and have recommended them to friends, and everyone is very happy.
Juli and her team are reliable and flexible. Each visit is recorded with what occurred. They take care of my girls just as I would.
Completely trust Paw Prints Pet Care!! They were great custodians of our sweet Sophie.
Julie is great with flexibility in scheduling. The staff are amazing and the utmost professionals. I would highly recommend.
They have done a wonderful job with my boys. They have all been well taken care of.
Great place
