Pet Sitters in Saint John The Baptist Parish, LA

When another local pet resort was shut down with less than two weeks notice I was really in a bind for a last minute kennel for my 3 dogs. Happy Tails and their wonderful owner Tamara to the rescue. She accommodated us in their lovely facility. We received regular updates and my dogs felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend them.

Happy tails has taken care of our dogs many times over the past 6 years, both at our house and boarding at Tamara’s. The care and attention to detail is always there and our dogs tell us this too as they love everyone at Happy Tails! Many thanks from us, and love from our past and present German Shepherds, Luke, Lucy, Gabi, Boomer, and Hank!

Happy Tails Pet Sitting is a life saver. I needed last minute boarding for my two large dogs and Tamara came through and got me set up with an incredible pet sitter. Thank you so much.

I am so thankful to Vickie at BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! I am the kind of dog mom that puts my 2 boys Doug and Rusty (dachshunds) above myself. I set my house up so that THEY are happy and comfortable. I have a low bed,, doggie ramps everywhere and there are dog toys all over. I would say that they are a little spoiled ❤️🐾🐾❤️ I only trust a few people with my dogs. I recently moved to Fair Oaks. I searched online for pet sitting and called Vicky, the owner of Bow-Wow pet sitting and boarding. I asked many questions. I then looked at her reviews on Yelp and decided that I would give her a call back. She was able to take my dogs the next day. She was so great! My dogs were barking and have separation anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable with Vicky. She is very kind and obviously loves animals. Her house is set up perfectly - she can separate dogs if necessary but still see them, they are not locked away in a closed room. She had a big wonderful yard to play in. When I picked up my boys they were happy and not stressed. Now they WANT to go there! Even though I'm done moving I intend to to take them to Vicky's at least once a week because they love her and I don't take them in the car and leave them when running errands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VICKIE AND BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! She is reasonably priced and very accommodating. ******************!!!!💕

I am appalled at the neglect and inhumane treatment of my dog. We left my dog Roxxy there for the weekend over 4th of July. We made sure they were aware she was a rescue dog with anxiety, and we were guaranteed that our dog would not be left alone during the fireworks. After we got our dog home, that night we realized her mouth was severally injured. Apparently, she had been left outside in a metal crate during fireworks while the owners of Bow Pow Pet sitting went to the liquor store, and tried to chew her way out causing the damage to her mouth. Multiple teeth had been broken off, her gums were destroyed and she had literally chewed so long and hard the bone of her jaw was damaged. We were never notified that our dog had been injured under their care, we had to wait to find out when we got her back, and with the extent of the injury being as bad as it was I have a hard time believing there were no signs of blood or injury when it happened. The surgery to fix my dog's mouth was over $3,500, which Bow Wow Pet sitting never even tried to repay. I felt the owners of Bow Wow pet sitting were unprofessional and down right negligent to have let this happen. To top it all off, after multiple complaints from us they still have pictures of my dog on their website, against my approval, to advertise their business. Usually I am not one to write angry online reviews but I feel strongly that they were negligent towards my dog.

My dogs were well taken care of in a family style environment. Both had individual needs and their needs were well taken care of. Was so pleased with the great care both dogs received! Recommend!

Great attentive people who are dedicated to every animal they come across. Reasonable prices for the amount of service you receive. They always go above and beyond for their customers and our pets.

My dog loves this place his friends all go there

Bow Wow pet sitting the dogs can run around and play with other its like pershool

Best place to put your dogs

Very accommodating,.l

Happy pets stay here

Vickie is great

Stephanie is amazing! We really loved working with her and we know our pup loved the time with her & Marshmallow!!! She was always flexible for drop off and pick up times and our pup was spoiled with her, sleeping with her at night on her bed instead of her crate. Stephanie also worked on training our lil’ pup with better manners and we swear she’s a much better pup now than before. We would highly recommend her services and are so happy we found her. We’ll be her customers for life!!

We are so happy we found Happy Paws! Stephanie is a true dog lover! It is so comforting to know our dog is in such great hands when we need to leave town, or when we are working late and need someone to swing by to feed her dinner. She is also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, and so pleasant to interact with. I love that she sends updates while she is caring for our doggy!

Stephanie is amazing with our dogs and they love her! We always trust her 100% with them when we go out of town for just a day or overnight for a few days. I definitely recommend Happy Paws.

Happy Paws is awesome! Stephanie and her wonderful crew of pet sitters took care of my cats while we were away for a week and did such a great job! They are very caring, conscientious and wonderful. They keep you up to date on how your pets are doing with texts and videos/pictures. Even my timid cat let Stephanie hold him, that's saying a lot! Knowledgeable and professional I would highly recommend them!!

We had an amazing experience with Happy Paws. We were gone for 10 days and Stephanie visited and took care of our cat daily and I know Alfie was one happy kitty for the company. Stephanie even sent us pics and videos to show us how well they were getting along. It was fun to see and very reassuring. When we returned, Alfie was very relaxed and happy to see us. In the past when we would leave him alone for a couple of days he would whine at us for a good hour, but not this time. I highly recommend Happy Paws and will definitely use them again in the future. 🥰

Stephanie is the best! She has watched our pup over several long weekends for us. She is a pure animal lover, I am never concerned about the well being of our dog while he is in her care. We plan to continue to use Stephanie for the foreseeable future.

Stephanie is an amazing human! My dog Jax has been afraid of humans for the longest time… Pretty much ever since I rescued him from Bradshaw Humane Society… Within two visits Stephanie was able to leash Jax by herself and he’s actually got to the point now where he will do the play Bow and give her kisses 🐕❤️🌈. If you ever need someone to assist with dog walks… Sleep overs… or take your pet to other appointments Happy Paws is the place! My life has improved having them in it… I know that sounds dramatic but it’s true! One less thing I have to worry about 🥰 Sincerely, Lori Mitchell RN Owner of Aesthetics bu Lori

We are very pleased with the service. Stephanie took such a great care of our puppy. She is very friendly and loves all dogs of any breeds. She is very knowledgeable and patient with dogs. We are so to find her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! Stephanie and her team are the best I have a little Bully that is very timid at first when meeting new dogs and people. Stephanie made sure and took the time with each new person and dog and exposed him to many things that affected him in such a positive way!!!

My pups have found a wonderful home away from home! Stephanie is a calm, loving presence for the dogs and they really respond to her. So grateful to be able to leave them with peace of mind knowing they’re looked after and happy!

Dear Hillary, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful care you provided to Jackie during her stay with you. Knowing that she was in such loving hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry. Your attention to Jackie's needs and the genuine affection you showed towards her truly made a difference. I could tell from the updates and photos you sent that she was happy and comfortable in your care. It's evident that you have a special connection with animals, and Jackie clearly felt that too. Thank you once again for your exceptional service and for going above and beyond to make sure Jackie felt at home. I will definitely be recommending your services to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so very much

Hillary’s House is a bonafide gem in dog sitting and boarding. She is the alpha mama and the dogs respect and adore her (and her family!). They genuinely love dogs, they’re all so sweet and professional. Excellent service and generous customer service touches. Our pup is literally at home here. He’s safe, stimulated and extremely well loved. Why can’t I give 6 stars?

I know we haven’t visited in awhile but wanted to give you a major shout out! We adore Hillary’s House and Ori loves it too! I know I don’t have to worry about anything when he’s there. We miss you! Hopefully book with you soon!

Absolutely the most wonderful dog boarding you can find. This place is a home away from home for our pet. Hillary and family take care of the dogs at their home as their own. My pet recently completed a long stay (about a month) at Hillary's pet care and was taken care of very well. Highly recommend Hillary's House for anyone looking for a dog care.

Hillay [and her family] are wonderful! Your dogs will be well treated. Our puppy loves to hang out at Hillary's house. Where else do you find such great service at a reasonable price?

Reagan took AMAZING care of our beaded dragon Toothless. We got regular updates and never had to worry! The best pet sitter in El Dorado County!

What a sweet girl! I had Reagan watch my 3 dogs and 2 cats and we had nothing to worry about. Can't wait to hire her again for my next vacation. Thank you Reagan!

Took great care of our Tiny Boy chihuahua! Will definitely use their services again.

The experience with Folsom Dog Resort & Training Center was one of the best dog grooming experiences I ever had. The feedback from Anna was very much appreciated. I received guidance to help my Mom's puppy be more comfortable when he's groomed.....and he looked like a million bucks when we picked him up.

Our golden retriever is over six years old. As a puppy, he was a high energy dog and needed a lot of training. Mike Harrison and his staff provided that training initially as a young dog and then periodically over the years. He is now well-trained and responds to our commands. Mike recently put Sam and I through the Canine Good Citizen test. I am happy to report that Sam passed with flying colors. Mike has been terrific to work with and I highly recommend Folsom Dog Resort for your training needs. Their boarding and daycare is also top notch!!

We took our 9mo old pup for an evaluation day in doggy day care. OMG! We got a cute pic and an update four hours into the day. When we picked up, she was so happy and I got a report from the staff about their observations of her day. We will definitely take our puppy back for the doggy day care. Staff was amazing and helpful. The facility is nice and kept up well.

Our dog Milo is a six year-old Maltese and he really enjoyed the daycare at Folsom Dog resort. I’m planning to purchase one of their packages so he can socialize with other dogs!

I took my pup in for her free trial today. I’m a first time dog owner and was nervous about leaving her, but she is super friendly and is such a love bug so I didn’t think she would have any issues. The lady who took her initially was great and even sent me a photo of my dog before she had to leave for the day. She said I would get another update later, but never did. Watching the camera, I saw her in a corner alone and ignored when she tried to get attention from the person supervising. When I went to pick her up, she completely emptied her bladder because she was so happy to see me, which was so odd because she loves being out and never wants to come home (I’ve even had to take her away from the vet against her will when she had to stay to be monitored). I noticed her backside was dirty (not sure if it was poop or dirt) and had to ask for a towel to clean her because she was also wet (even though she wasn’t in an area with a pool). The person who returned her to me couldn’t confidently tell me if she ate her lunch. It was “well, she was fed but I’m not sure if she ate”. She also smelled so strongly of urine. When we got home she went straight to her water bowl and wouldn’t stop drinking…as if she hadn’t gotten any water all day. 1 person to supervise 20+ dogs just seems a little negligent to me. Especially one that just ignored all of the dogs. Maybe I’m just overprotective but I wouldn’t bring her back.

We have had 3 dogs attend “doggy boot camp” at the Folsom Dog Resort & Training Center. We are so pleased at the consistent and pertinent information and training the dogs (and we) received. As pet parents we probably need more training than the dogs do. The trainers were excellent, patient and understanding with our fur babies and with us. I highly recommend having your dogs trained there.

I brought my rescue pup for a 4 hour meet and greet. All the staff were gentle, kind and made sure she felt safe with them. When I returned they told me she showered everyone with kisses and was very comfortable in their care. We have already booked boarding with them and have plans on a few daycare sessions before she boards! Thanks Folsom Dog Resort for a great experience with my baby girl Grace🐶🐾

Our Collie loves the care she receives at Folsom Dog resort. She had a bath and trim service from Asia this week. She is skilled and passionate about her work. Our dog is not a fan of the dryer, Asia goes the extra mile not to rush the process and uses cotton and ear muffs for her comfort. She looked so beautiful. I highly recommend them!

I have a black lab puppy (7 months) that is with me 24/7. I had to board him because of work and the Folsom Dog Resort came highly recommended from a friend. I have to tell anyone looking to board their dog that this place is AMAZING. Let me give some examples why. First, when I called to book the reservation the person on the phone was extremely nice and genuinely seems excited to have my dog stay with them. Second, when we drove up there was an employee on break out front. She immediately came over and said hello and was so friendly to my dog (she could have just ignored us but didn’t). Third, the facility was clean and looked like a place you would want your beloved pet to stay in. And lastly, in the morning on day of pickup I got the most wonderful summary of his two day stay with them. When I picked up my dog he appeared to be really happy. I LOVE this place and highly recommend it (pricing was very reasonable considering the value and safety given to my dog).

I needed a place kind of last minute for my fur baby. I don't typically leave him and I'm very picky about his care. He LOVES humans and I needed a place where he'd get that interaction. At the Folsom Dog Resort he got tons of love! And they helped him find a play group with other dogs that he fit in with. I will ONLY go here from now on. I cannot say enough good things. They have pet care down!

Sue and Michael are amazing! I can always trust that my dog is well taken care of when I use their services. They are so considerate and always send pictures and updates. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for peace of mind go with the Leashlady. Sue is great with your pets, responsible, dependable, and someone you can trust to access and secure your home 👍🏼 …

The Leash Lady has been easy to work with and our dog seems very comfortable - it’s always comforting to know he is being left in very capable and caring hands!

Always very accommodating. Takes very good care of my dog Lake. Highly recommended. My husband and I are very happy.

In response to being told you are you are libelling me: I think using a business that is meant to be caring for animals to cause upset and attempt intimidation by cyber stalking is very worrying, not the sort of person I would trust with a houseplant let alone a treasured family pet. I had no idea this review thing existed until it was pointed out that my name and where I live had been used here but you know all about me? If I had known and left you a duff review I would have been much more created and used a much funnier name like say Thomas McPoopscooper and given you more than a three word explanation of why you are so awful but I didn't because it wasn't me. I think you should stop lying now, no one cares about you or what you do until you draw attention to innocent people who want zero to do with you. I will be seeking legal advice.

Sue has true concern for the pets in her care. You simply can't go wrong having her take care of your furry friends!

Definitely recommend! Very dependable, highly professional. Kitties always very happy when we return!

Worst service ever

This is the place to let your beloved pet stay while you have to be away. We always worried when leaving our angel at a pet hotel. Even the fanciest ones are actually fancy only for human visitors. Where the dogs stay is usually still just a kennel. Noisy, smelly, minimal time out of their cage. And as much as the staff usually seems to care, they cannot possibly provide the level of attention to which our pet is accustomed. The sure sign of this was how he would pull and strain to get out of there when we'd pick him up. And then he wouldn't talk to us for half a day! At Doubletree, we know our pet is in loving hands. He has a beautiful big yard to play in, with very few other dogs. Often just the resident dog Mishka, a sweet-tempered labradoodle who is friendly towards and protective of our little guy. I like knowing that any other dogs who may stay there have been screened well, and that if there are any doubts about a potential guest, they are turned away. The surest sign that this is the best vacation destination for our dog is the way he behaves when we pick him up. He is delighted to see us, but wants us to stay there with him, not take him home with us. He loves it there and hates to leave!

If we could give Doubletree 10 stars, we would!!! The love and caring our Chloe has received when staying here is like she receives at home! All we have to do is ask her if she is ready to go to Doubletree and she begins to talk (doggy style) and jump around and run to the garage door to get in the car!! The love and care is like being at home!!

My dog loves his 'vacation' time at Doubletree Pet Resort. It is his home away from home. It is the only place I would take my dog to stay when we are away from home.

I happily provide another wonderful recommendation. Buddy was so very well cared for and wasn't I pleased to receive a good report card. No more guilt when I want to travel and leave my pal in the best of circumstances. I have found it!!!

I would not recommend this place. I drove all the way to his home so he could meet our docile, playful golden retriever to get turned away because his labrador-doodle was too aggressive! Why run a dog sitting business???

The website states the resort is closed permanently

Hi Tiffany, I couldn't see where we had cared for your fur child. If we might ask, what could we have improved upon? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Kimala

This is so much more than a daycare. Most daycares have a poor ratio of dogs to humans and it's a free for all with the dogs. At DogTrax the dogs get plenty of exercise in a good-sized group, mixed with new skills, environments, and activities that enrich their minds.

My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭

I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!

My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.

I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾

Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.

I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!

We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!

First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.

Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!

They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!
