Ms Window is a gorgeous cat! Even though she’s not a lap cat, she surprises you with gestures of affection and tenderness. Overall, she’s very sweet and quite entertaining. Ivan and Emmanuelle have a beautiful and spacious apartment. Tall windows, bright lights and colors; I loved it. I enjoyed very much walking around Forest Hills which is a lovely neighborhood with some terrific spots perfect to walk around. Emmanuelle and Ivan are very kind and made sure that I was very comfortable at their apartment. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this sit! Marta left clear instructions, was easy to communicate with, and left the flat super clean and tidy for me. Teddy was such a sweetheart and a joy to look after-- he is playful and also really cuddly. Its so cute watching this gorgeous floofball jump in the air chasing his toys! After a few days being there he completely warmed up to me, sat on my lap and purred for hours :) Great location right on Leith Links too.
This was such a lovely sit. It was exactly what I imagined a ‘holiday in Yorkshire’ to be. Such a beautiful part of England! Christine and Ian were very welcoming and we had a lovely meal together that Christine prepared. The chickens were no trouble at all, everything is well organised and it is easy to take care of them as instructed. Christine gives you great instructions on what is needed around the house and outside. On one hand I would say you definitely need a car as it’s not easy to walk to anything nearby except the small pub. On the other hand, if you were happy to have groceries delivered and just wanted a relaxing countryside retreat…I think I could have definitely stayed another week or so just relaxing and enjoying the views.
Great communication! Such a pleasure! Great location in the heart of dc! Would definitely do again!
Luana and Tom's top-floor home was a very special bohemian style in the heart of East London. A walking distance to Brick Lane, surrounded by restaurants and takeaway, made it super convenient and charming. Eugene was a lovely and beautiful black kitty. Though he didn't like the camera, he loved to stay by the window which made photo shooting for him an easy job. His parents love beautiful photos of the boy and care much whether he's really happy with their absence. What an adorable family. I thank the couple very much that they let me stay an extra night before taking the flight to my hometown for an urgent issue. They're kind people and I enjoyed the sitting.
I loved cat sitting Kutty and Chinna! Two beautiful, adorable, very well behaved cats that were easy to take care of. Communication with Sonali was excellent. She responded quickly with any questions I had. The welcome guide was clear and had all the information I needed. The home is lovely, clean, tidy and bright. I felt very comfortable. It's at a great location. It's easy to get to Manhattan and close to many supermarkets, including Trader Joe's. Would definitely love to cat sit for them again!

Bell took care of my 2 doggies over Christmas & it was an amazing experience. I could tell how much fun they had when I picked them up. Bell checked in with photos & updates to ease my mind. Awesome experience! A definite 5 stars! Bell is definitely our doggies new baby sitter! Thank you.
I knew my dogs were cared for to my level care during their stay with Belen. She sent daily updates, easy to talk and communicate with, and loved my dogs. Meeting her I knew she would care for my dogs the way I do. Now that I’ve picked them up and seen how happy but exhausted they were, I knew I made the right choice!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Belen took such great care of our pup over Christmas!! He came home a happy pup and she sent pictures and txt updates the whole time we were gone. Definitely will use her again!
Bell was very accommodating and communicative leading up to our dog’s stay with her. Our dog was with her for almost two weeks and had such a great time! Bell was great at sending pictures and keeping us updated on how our dog was doing. Will for sure use her services again if ever needed!
Bell has been great! I wanted a good place for my tiny dog to interact with other animals and she has had so much fun with Bell and the animals at her home. My puppy comes home exhausted after a day of running and playing with a big dog and little kitten. She's always excited to see Bell! She's conveniently located in Provo and has a spacious, well fenced yard. She's also been patient as we finalize potty training with my puppy. I plan to send my girl here at least one day a week for the foreseeable future.
This was our first time leaving our baby behind for a quick trip and Bell was absolutely fantastic. We got daily updates with pictures and I was super happy to see how my baby was safe and loved :) Bell is super responsive, sweet, and responsable. We even forgot his food bowl upon pick up and she delivered it to my house the next morning! 10/10 thank you so so much!
I could not be more delighted with a daycare center for my dog. Belle goes out of her way to make us feel welcome and my little miniature poodle absolutely loves going to see her. Belle sends midday updates of how my Lucy is doing. I find that my little one is becoming calmer because of her interactions at daycare. Belle has seamlessly integrated Lucy into the " pack" of the other dogs left in her care. If it were possible to leave six stars, I would do so.
My dog loved her 3 day stay with Belen and she didn’t even seem like she wanted to come home so I know she had a great time. Top notch.
Belen is our favorite sitter for our Great Pyrenees. She always has a wonderful time and is so well taken care of. Belen always communicates with us well and she truly loves on our pup.
I have had the pleasure of working with Belen on several occasions. I cannot express how thrilled I am with the exceptional care she provided. From the moment I dropped off my beloved pup to the day of pick-up, the experience was nothing short of pawsitively perfect. She genuinely loves the dogs as she takes the time to get to know them. She always sends regular updates with pictures and videos. The regular updates allow me to unwind on vacation, and to be stress free. I wholeheartedly recommend Belen and am super grateful for her!
Love my dog more than my kids half of the time. Had to leave him for a week. Could not have left him at a better place. They called us halfway through the week to tell us that "he was their buddy". When we picked him up he was washed, fed and calm. My dog told me later that night that he enjoyed his vacation too... Would highly highly recommend this place
Great boarding services! Our dog sitter canceled on us last minute before our vacation, so we contacted Ricmar Kennels and they got us booked right away and were very accommodating. When we picked our dogs up they were happy and healthy. I could tell they had a great time! The staff were very kind, informative, and easy to work with. Our dogs will be back for more doggy fun the next time we are out of town!
Loved Ricmar Kennels! Had a last minute emergency trip and Ricmar was extremely nice and accommodating! Facility was very nice and clean, and our dog seems very happy there. Love that they play with the dogs and let them socialize with each other during playtime. Felt like our dog 'Sugar' was very well treated and cared for. This will be our go to kennel when we need to board our dog! 😀
Luckily we were able to board our German Shepard here overnight to go on a last minute camping trip. They were friendly and our boy enjoyed playing with the other dogs!
They treated our dog Otis very well! he was clean and bathed when we picked him up this is our second time going there and we will for sure be there again with our dog
We are 100% happy with Ricmar Kennels and will most definitely bring our dogs back! We have a socially awkward Czech Shepard who normally stresses when we leave. Our dog had no problem there and even got close with the owner. That shows us that our dogs were definitely happy and taken care of!! Definitely appreciate them for taking care of our pups.
Ricmar Kennels is our go-to place for our dog!!! He gets anxious being away from us, but every time he's stayed at Ricmar Kennels he has had so much fun, and has even not wanted to leave once or twice! The owners take amazing care of the dogs and you can tell they really care. Our pup got lots of play time with other dogs that he got along with, and even was given a complimentary bath before we took him home. We will never go to any other kennel!!! If I could give a place 10 out of 5 stars, this would be the place!
Such an amazing experience. We had to board our dog for a few days, along with his sister, while we were in California. I chose Ricmar Kennels because of the high reviews. When we arrived, I knew it was going to be a great experience for Cap. There weren't any issues while we were gone and Cap was as happy as ever when we picked him up, giving love to the owner before we left. Would definitely recommend for short or longer boarding times.
This place is amazing, and the guys who work there are awesome. They really care about the health and well-being of all dogs. Their facility is very professional, inviting, and so clean. I worked in different kennels for years and I was very impressed by this place. I highly recommend this kennel for your boarding needs. Your dogs deserve it!
We've been using Ricmar for 3 years for our German Shepherd anytime we go on vacation or a long weekend away. He absolutely loves it there and gets to play with other dogs. Their facility is clean and they are very friendly and genuinely care about my dog. I recommend them to anyone that asks.
Good
Ruff House is the BEST dog daycare!!! We have a 6.5 year old husky who was been going here for a little over 2 years now, and she loves this place more than ANYTHING! The staff is so amazing - I love that Courtney and Hunter regularly give us updates on how Luna's day was, and I really appreciate their overall levels of customer service. It's so fun to be able to walk in and have the staff recognize both me and my dog without me having to say a thing! We (us and the dog) are excited to keep using Ruff House while we live here. The attached photos are from some of the photo updates they provide during overnight stays :)
Okay, so my dog is awesome. Of course she is. At Ruff House, they definitely treat her like the amazing creature she is. They are just as excited to see her and she is to go play her butt off all day and take such great care of her. I don't trust many people with my pup but she always comes back with smiles!
This place rocks. Very similar to our favorite dog place in TX. The staff have done an AMAZING job with our anxiety nutcase dog! The updates on your pup while on vacay is such an awesome plus! And the complimentary bath with extended vacay stay?!? So awesome to have a clean dog upon pick up!
My dog is now a little over 1 year. At about 9 months she had such a bad experience with a groomer. I won't name there here but she was totally traumatized from the experience. Ruff house is where we decided to take her after months of not going to the groomers and of grooming ourselves (she was cute but you can tell she didn't go to a groomer). We looked at reviews and checked the place out and everything was wonderful and exactly what you expect a groomer facility should look like--- and way way more. It was a wonderful experience for her. We are lifetime customers!!
Mary S. has been grooming my Shihtzu for several years. He is not the most well mannered boy when it comes to grooming but she has been awesome! She is very calm and we have never had an issue and he looks gorgeous every time. We had a bad experience with a previous groomer (not at Ruff House) so we are very happy!
Mary did an exceptional job grooming our one year old micro goldendoodle, Mave, who’s had traumatic experiences with PetSmart groomers in the past. PetSmart made it sound like we, his owners, were the problem for Mave’s anxiety, and even flagged us from taking him to another Petsmart groomer. Ruff House was an entirely different experience! Mave looks amazing and seems so happy and confident with his new look and we absolutely love the work she did on him, nothing was untouched. THANK YOU, Mary! We are so happy with the results and will definitely book with you again. After having two separate nightmare experiences at the groomers at the AF Petsmart, I was so anxious about taking him to the groomers again. Thanks to Mary, our confidence in having Mave groomed by a professional, has been restored. FIVE STARS!
We seriously can’t thank the ruff house enough for being so good to our Lady and us for when we book last minute things for our girl! Our girl also absolutely loves going to the ruff house she definitely gets home tired! Now the staff is also always so informative when it comes to her days or just in general how she’s doing. They are always friendly and respectful! They definitely deserve more positive reviews!
I boarded my puppy using the premium boarding package and got updates on her walks and 1 on 1 play time everyday of my vacation. It was so nice getting the multiple pictures a day, it really put me at ease because I knew she was having a lot of fun. Very good staff. They took great care of my baby! I attached an example of the types of pictures I got from her walks and play time. When she wasn't on a walk or 1on1 play time, she was in open play! It's so comforting knowing she wasn't stuck in a kennel all day.
I have boarded my dog here twice now. The first time I left her was great! She had a blast she stayed for two nights. We got updates on her. She seemed to have a blast. The second time I boarded her here. I left her all of the meals she would need, and when I picked her up, they gave me all of her meals back, they didn’t charge me for using their food, so I am guessing she didn’t eat for 3 days because when we got home she was so hungry. I don’t know that I’ll be boarding her here anymore. I will be taking her to Sydney’s Bed and Biscuit instead. I just don’t think they pay enough attention to feeding and caring for the dogs here. My dog is my world and when I board her I need to trust that she will be fully cared for.
Are you looking for a new groomer for your pup? Are you browsing through Google reviews for a great place to take your doggo that is recommended by a bunch of other dog parents? STOP!!! Look no further because Ruff house is the best place you'll find in Utah county. They do an AMAZING job. My Goldendoodle has visited the Ruff house for her hair to be cut, nails trimmed and to be pampered by a professional. Ruff house goes above and beyond, they will exceed your expectations. And they are actually reasonably priced! But don't be cheap - be sure to tip your groomer. They also offer boarding services, but I have not taken advantage of that as of yet.
We’ve been coming here for years for Dogsitting. Crystal is amazing with animals and has a great property for her business. She sends pictures and updates while you are gone so you have peace of mind. When I pick them up my dogs are happy, healthy, and tired. I highly recommend!
DOG HEAVEN!!!! My dog Bo LOVES going to day care here. We take him once a week and it’s his favorite day. As soon as he realizes it’s day care day he gets so excited and runs to the car. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I was worried about taking Bo somewhere where he would just be put in a crate all day but here he spends all day playing. They take such good care of your dogs. They have tons of land for the dogs to run and play; there are sticks, pools, splash bass, ball pits, literally everything you can imagine would be in a dogs paradise. I don’t trust anyone else with my dog and you can tell the owners love dogs and wants to make sure they get to actually play and run around and be dogs instead of being locked in a crate all day. Bo always comes home so tired from playing so hard. I also love that she send us pictures throughout the day of the dogs plays. Did I mention the price? It’s the cheapest daycare and boarding I have found and I have peace of mind knowing Bo is playing all day long. I could go on and on about why this place is amazing. I will not take my dog anywhere else
This is a 5 star resort for dogs!!! Our 2 year old husky stayed here for 3 nights. The online booking was easy to make and the instructions were clear. Crystal has great communication and made sure our dog enjoyed his stay. There’s a pool, a mini pool, lots of space and toys to run and play with his new friends. I liked that all dogs are evaluated before boarding and all safety measures are in place. She sent me pictures of my dog during his stay which was super nice; especially since the last business we were at charged for pictures. The boarding price was the best in the area and is a great value! I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!
We brought our dog Peach here for the first time over spring break and my dog was living the dream. Every day we got updates from Crystal and saw the biggest smile on our dogs face as she played in the snow, mud, indoor play facility and met lots of new dog friends. I think she was a little sad to leave and actually come home. It was a great experience and Peach was loved and socialized great with all the dogs. She even made a new best friend. Thanks for taking care of our fur baby. We will be back.
Pawsitive Results is wonderful! They are so attentive and take great care of our dog. He absolutely LOVES going and always has a great time and is well taken care of. They send us pictures of him while he’s there and it’s so fun to be him enjoying himself while we’re out of town. I highly recommend!
We’ve tried a few boarding places, but hadn’t found one we loved until bringing our dog Moose to Paws-itive Results! Normally he is hesitant going into a new boarding place, but right away he was super excited to play with all the dogs! I love that he is able to play with the other dogs and have such an open area to be in. Makes me not have to worry about him while we are away. We also got pictures everyday, which was really fun! Definitely recommend it!
We had such a great experience with our dog, Violet! The boarding and facilities were great and Crystal was so sweet to send us pictures throughout her stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
So happy with our experience here! I felt in the loop with how my dog was doing with pictures throughout his stay where he always looked happy which helped me feel better while we were away! And I could tell Crystal really loves the dogs in her care! We will definitely be boarding here again when we leave town in the future.
We left our American Akita here for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We were very nervous to be away from Pika for so long, but Crystal was AMAZING with him! She sent us pictures every day, and he made lots of new dog friends. They have a huge area for the dogs to play in, and she was very responsive when texting.
My dog was a little smaller than the rest of the dogs there, but that’s where he has the most fun! He’s way too energetic for smaller dogs and loves throwing everything he has at wrestling and chasing and tug. He got it alllllll out with Crystal! Lodo will definitely be back the next time I’m traveling to Utah for work.
My three girls had a fantastic vacation. The staff are so kind and gentle. My girls were so clean and had for sure been loved on. I appreciated that the staff was so good to talk to me and understood my nervousness to leave them. Thank you so much!!!! Much love from Maizy, Swaizy and Haizy ❤️❤️❤️
There were multiple reasons I am giving a low review. I originally requested my boarding reservation in October, and received the confirmation on 10/15. My confirmation included the additional paid bath & brush package I requested, along with the note for a nail trim. This part seemed to go well, and I felt confident things would go smoothly. The one part I would suggest changing, is allowing for the ability to upload pet records. There is mention of the animal needing to be current on vaccinations, but no way to provide them, or confirm they were received, and are sufficient. At drop off, I was incredibly disappointed. The staff member seemed very unsure about things, and was not confident when answering my questions. I was never asked for vaccination records. I was the one who brought up the fact I had emailed the records over, and the staff member simply said they’d add them to the account. This was the first time boarding at Pet Central, and I was incredibly nervous leaving my dog. I asked if I could see where she would be kept, and sleeping, when not in the play area, and was told they don’t allow anyone behind the gate. That is a huge red flag to me. I reluctantly left my dog, with no reassurance from the staff member, and wanted to cancel my trip so I didn’t have to leave her. I dropped her off on Thursday morning, and was originally picking her up Monday morning, simply due to the very limited hours for pick up on Saturday, and being closed Sunday. However, as soon as I drove away, I immediately went into panic mode, and changed my trip plans, so I could pick her up on Saturday. I didn’t want her staying any longer than absolutely necessary. I emailed to request the change in pick up, and wanted to confirm she would still get a bath and nail trim. I received a reply acknowledging the pick up date change, but was told that she didn’t qualify for a free bath service, but I could request to be put on the list, but it wasn’t guaranteed. They obviously didn’t look at her boarding reservation. I responded letting them know I had added this paid service during the original boarding request, and it had been confirmed. I told them I wanted the service, and would pay for it, to which I was told again it was not guaranteed and she’d be put on the list. Frustrating and disappointing. Upon pick up, there was no conversation or discussion on how my dog had done during her stay. No “report card” or anything to let me know how she ate, behaved, played, bowel movements, or anything. I asked if she’d been given a bath or had her nails trimmed, and was told they didn’t know and would have to ask the owners. I was given a total, and that was it. The receipt doesn’t even itemize anything. It’s just a miscellaneous charge. I will not be returning to this establishment. I was incredibly disappointed, and would not recommend this place to anyone.
Mozzi has been coming to Pet Central for the past four years. The Staff as well as the Owners are very attentive to his needs, I trust them with his care. Mozzi has made new friends and kept old friends with each stay.
Best boarding service! My pup was struggling finding a good sitter match, finally we tried the daycare service here and she LOVED it. Everyone who helped us was so wonderful and knowledgeable and loved my dog too. She was always excited to get dropped off in the morning, the best way to make a pet parent's day! Clean, friendly, lots of playtime, and very convenient grooming service. Thank you Pet Central!
We have loved working with Pet Central for the past 3 years! They take the best care of Charlie, and he is always happy and healthy when we return. We never like to leave home without him, but when we do it’s great to see that he’s happy going to them and he’s happy when we pick him up. Everyone has been great to work with- we love Steven and Hilary! We highly recommend Pet Central!
This was my first time ever boarding my dogs, they stayed at Pet Central for a week. I emailed to check in on them and always got a quick response. I felt very confident that they were being cared for and they seemed happy like their stay was good. When I picked them up they were both bathed and smelled great. I feel like the price was reasonable and I will definitely take my dogs back when I need boarding.
We had a cross country flight and didn't want to subject our favorite four legged friend to that. So we found this place close by, they were great to work with, even if the times are a bit short, we got it all worked out. When we picked up they had given her a bath and she was excited to see us.
We dropped off our fur baby, and he immediately went to the staff wagging his tail. He was here for 9 days and loved it! He cuddled with the staff (Border Collies are not known for cuddling). They have a large fenced green area where boarded dogs can run and play. They encourage you to bring your dogs food and water dishes, their favorite toy, and something that smells like home. The staff is kind and they all love animals. If you are worried about leaving your pet, call them. They have doggie day care. We did the daycare before we left to make sure our pup was going to be okay. He loved it! We highly recommend them for daycare or boarding!
Pet central is the only place I will board our dogs. They truly love the dogs in their care. I am so confident that my dogs are well taken care of, and the best part are they are all such good people. They always are so helpful and kind. Our dogs are always so excited to stay there and be on their own vacation while we are on ours. Thank you Pet Central!! You are the best.
My dogs love to board here, they are so excited when I pull up to drop them off. The staff are all so good with the animals. For grooming, I was impressed! I have two huge labs so they are a lot to tackle. They were so soft when I picked them up after being groomed. I highly recommend boarding your pets here!
We highly recommend! We have done both training and boarding here. Our dog is well cared for while being boarded. The staff talks about how much they love him. Our dog is still learning dog social cues so he plays separately from the other dogs and I appreciate that they accommodate to his needs. My goal is to be able to go to pet friendly stores with our dog. We have been doing group classes for just a few months now and he has improved so much! He used to bark and lunge on a leash every time he saw a dog. Now he is able to focus with other dogs around and he only lunges every once in a while. And it’s only been a few months! We’re so happy with his progress. The trainers are wonderful and work hard to make sure you and your dog are comfortable! We love the positive reinforcement focused training.
If you want people who will respect and care for your dogs, this is the place. They are so mindful of going at your dog's pace and also teach you how to do that (and why it's important!). It has been an amazing experience to be able to get individual feedback on specific challenges. We have used both their board and train as well as their group classes, and they are phenomenal. It's helped us to understand more about our dogs, how they think, and how to best support them. We have had some really great chats with Enoch (owner/trainer), Emily (groomer), and Jessie (trainer) about the research they do and their fun ideas on how to make things even better, more fun, and more rewarding. It's so easy to see the passion behind every interaction. Honestly, the best review would come from our two boys. They absolutely love them. The staff all know the boys by name and seem so genuinely excited to see our baby dogs. We are so grateful to have Bandit's around so we can have peace of mind knowing our boys are just as loved when we have to travel and train as they would be at home with us. Thank you!
Bandits Stay and Play in Orem is hands down the best place for our dogs! The staff is beyond amazing—caring, thoughtful, and so genuinely sweet. Every time we brought our pups here, they were treated like family. Our dogs absolutely loved staying here, and it was always comforting to know they were in such good hands. What truly blew us away was their kindness when they learned we were moving. They surprised us with a going-away basket for our dogs that was filled with treats, toys, blankets, laminated photos, and even a handwritten message from every single staff member. The notes were so heartfelt and showed how well they truly knew and cared for our dogs. We can’t thank Bandits Stay and Play enough for the love and care they’ve given our fur babies. If you’re looking for a place where your dogs will be treated like royalty, this is it. They go above and beyond in every way! Highly recommend!
So the conventional wisdom is that doggy day care / boarding is always a last resort because dogs are dogs yet business is business so if your dog comes home alive it's either dumb luck, facility-wide 24/7 crating, or your dog was the biggest one there. Bandit's so far has done a ton to change my mind for the better. Maybe it actually is possible to do right by the dogs yet somehow remain affordable to regular folk! I've been taking my dog to Bandit's for half-day "play dates" for a few months now. It was meant to be a sort of emergency stop-gap until I could make permanent arrangements for regular care, but the thing is, she loves it there. We haven't had a single injury yet, not even small ones. She comes home bouncy and cheerful and then slides into a contented nap after each visit. I see the staff engaging in sound behavioral practices at each drop off and pick up. And it hasn't had any negative effects that I can see around things like reactivity or training setbacks. Seems to me that Bandit's is doing a great job at actually being a serious dog care facility that is positive for the dogs and not just the convenience needs of the owners. Which is amazing if you think about it, and pretty rare. Bottom line, Bandit's has become a frequent spot in my dog's life and I hope they stay around and continue to be great because she'd miss it if we had to stop. No complaints, and much hope that they keep going just as they have since we started visiting.
Bandits stay and play is an awesome facility. The trainers are amazing. We did the 2 week training for our dogs and we noticed changes from basically day 2. We 100% recommend. After the 2 week training, you get 2 coaching sessions which helps a lot to continue training your dogs. Enoch is great and super knowledgeable. Gunner and Enzo loved going there. Thanks! 🙏 🐕
My dogs love the Bandits! They had a great time playing there when we boarded them for two weeks. The staffs are nice and friendly, and very responsive whenever I have questions. My dogs also were bathed and groomed, and they came home clean and smelling amazing! I've also used Enoch's training program for my husky. Well, one day I took my pup to the vet for exam, and the doctor and nurse commented that this was a well behaved husky!! I guess I have Enoch to thank for!
When I was growing up, you just tossed the dog whatever dry food was at the supermarket and left him in the house all day, regardless of how long you were out. There just wasn't a lot of consideration about what the dog wanted or needed beyond a quick pet and the occasional pizza crust. When we adopted our 7 year old pitty at the start of this year, I think we kinda thought it would be much the same. Come to find out, they were medicating him pretty heavily in the shelter and he actually has a lot more in common with me than the dogs of my youth (very whiny, anxious when left alone, and sooo stubborn, but also classically good looking and very into snacks). We wanted to do the right thing for him, so we found a daycare for him. He started coming home with scratches very regularly and we thought maybe that was normal because he was just a big boy rough-housing. One day, he came home with his face shredded up and was really having trouble walking. I took him right to the vet and they gave him meds and of all kinds. The IT guy at the daycare (whom they were calling the manager) eventually told me that no one was watching the dogs when my dog got attacked, but they refused to take responsibility. We decided he would not be going back there and weren't super optimistic about daycares, but decided to get some information about Bandit's. Enoch (the owner) was the one to correspond with us by email. He said come on by and we could tour any time. When we came by for the tour, Enoch was at the desk by coincidence. He showed us the entire facility; nothing was hidden. He answered our questions. Months later, we adopted our pitty's best friend at Bandit's. They both love it there. More important than that, I know they are safe. Neither of them has yet to come home with a scratch. Enoch assures us that they are always supervised and they get breaks when they need them. The folks there care about our dogs and they know what they're doing. Enoch has a bunch of initials after his name and, again, we see him constantly. Trained, invested folks are actively involved with the care of our dogs everyday. Additional shoutouts to Emily and some of my dogs' favorite people, Ben and Kingston. And myriad other people we see all the time whose names are still a mystery to us. Short version: Your dog is safe and attended here.
I recently moved to the area and was looking for a groomer. I found bandits and decided to give them a try. My dog has been groomed 8+ times before coming here and I have never been told he was difficult to groom or acted out. Bandits said he was very defiant and they had a very hard time trimming him in lots of areas. He came out with lots of long and uncut spots. Mainly his paws, underarms, sanitary area, ears and top of his head. His haircut was super uneven and I asked them for specifications and nothing I asked for was done or kept. They also Charged me for a 70 lbs plus dog and he only weights 50-55 pounds. It took them 3 plus hours and he doesn’t even look like they tried for more than an hour. As far as there grooming services I was not impressed and will not go back.
Everyone here is super friendly and they all care so much about my dog pickles. They all are keeping me updated on how he’s doing in groups as well as giving me tips and answering any questions I’ve had whether it comes to training or just anything to do with dogs in general. Bandits stay and play is 100% the best place I could ask for to take my furry buddy!!!
I took my Alusky to get groomed and the lady did Amazing! My dog looked so beautiful, shiny and the bow was the cutest touch. She was so nice and so gentle with my dog. I was very pleased with my experience, and would highly recommend them!
Our cats LOVE when Stephanie is staying with them. She genuinely cares about them, gives us loads of updates and pictures, and them come running to greet her when she comes. They seem settled when we come home too, and that helps with the transitions. Cannot recommend her enough. She great with the cats and a sweetheart in general.
Stephanie was professional and caring in every way, even managed to gain the trust of our ultra timid kitty and lure him out of hiding within a few days :-) She was thorough, responsive and sent regular pics/videos daily which was so appreciated, never having left ‘the boys’ with a petsitter for so long. I can highly recommend Stephanie, your babies will be in great hands. Her colleague Julie was lovely too.
Stephanie is the best cat-sitter we've ever had. We have a difficult cat (a 12-year-old who is highly attached to us, and became anxious and unfriendly to strangers after her sister passed away a few years ago), and most sitters understandably dislike spending time with her even if they try their best to connect. Stephanie never gave up, and eventually bonded with our cat in a way that made us feel so much more comfortable when we were away from home. She would sit and talk to her even when our cat would hiss or swat. It sounds silly, but Stephanie saw the best in her! And it paid off – they have really formed a special connection. Beyond that, Stephanie is incredibly responsible and communicative. She always sends photos and videos from her visits, which make us smile and allow us to relax knowing that our cat is being cared for.
Stephanie will be our go-to cat sitter going forward! We are new to the area and needed care for our two cats while we were out for spring break. I contacted Stephanie and she took thorough notes about our house and cats. Everyday she sent us a report with photos and it was clear that the cats increasingly enjoyed her company. It was nice to know she was giving them the love and attention they needed while we were away. Our cats were happy upon our return and that's what really matters.
I found Stephanie through her Pinebrook Petsitting website. My cat Batman and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have Stephanie step in when needed. She absolutely goes way above and beyond what she is payed for. She obviously cares a great deal about my cat, and sends me photos and videos while she is in my home. I trust her so much, that I let her hang onto my key for future pet sitting. I simply cannot say enough positive things about Stephanie. You will be in wonderful hands with Pinebrook Petsitting. -Heather and Batman.
Stephanie has been an outstanding cat sitter for my two cats during the past year for periods of time ranging from 2-10 days. It is apparent that she likes animals and the cats are calm and relaxed when I return. She is reliable and has thoughtfully texted photos of the cats while I am away. Stephanie goes above and beyond what she needs to do and, for example, has brought in mail and packages, etc. Knowing that Stephanie is caring for my two cats while traveling is very reassuring to me and I am sure they are well taken care of while I am away. She is a great animal sitter!
Hello Stephanie - Jim Wise here from next door 1995 until 2000. Hope Clint, you and the girls (all grown up now) are doing well. I am sure your Dog Sitting is the finest in town and matches your great love of all living things. Take care Jim & Mary - Vallejo, CA 94591
Stephanie was awesome. Her love of animals shines through as she picked up on my pets personalities right away. She took it seriously and took notes. Even thought i told her she could skip the litter, she scooped it daily. She took my dog on walks despite the blizzards. I really appreciated the photos she took on every visit! She did extras like picking up packages and putting my trash out. I’m a veterinarian and would highly recommend her!
Stephanie has looked after our cat, Chloe, for some time now when we travel. She is very reliable and clearly loves cats.Stephanie will visit the house as many times as we agree to make sure all is in order. It is a relief to be able to go away knowing that Chloe is in safe hands.
Steph did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She went above and beyond while I was gone. She sent pictures, reported on their eating and stayed/played with them for awhile. She also let me know packages were delivered and brought them inside. Fantastic service and I will be using her again.
