Shantoye was wonderful sitter for my two cats and two guinea pigs. She bonded with my guinea pigs and they were so comfortable with her! She did a wonderful job of caring for them, including participating in their daily floor time sessions. I came home to happy critters that were calm and well-adjusted, and a house and gardens that were in good order. I would love to have Shantoye back again and you should snap her up if she applies for your sit!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Anna & Tammy's home in west Seattle. Their pooch, Jack, is a sweetheart and we enjoyed many walks with him along Alki Beach which is a very short car ride away. Alki Beach has a terrific waterfront walk along the bay with beautiful views of Seattle, gorgeous at night and during the day as well. The neighborhood is also pleasant for walking, close to shops, restaurants, markets and Jack's favorite house for treats. Anna was kind enough to give us a drive around the area, pointing out great restaurants (Luna Cafe was terrific!) and other interesting places to visit which helped orient us to this part of the city. Jack is very calm, easygoing dog to be around. We highly recommend this home/pet sit and would not hesitate to do it again.
What à lovely family Emma Tony and William are they welcomed us the night before they left and we had a lovely meal together. The 5 cats are absolutely delightful. All have different characters and they were at home with us straight away. We had a nervous moment when Meowth had a few days away from home.. But I let Emma know and he turned up On the morning we were leaving. I got a soft spot for stripe who had great fun playing in our bags and boxes and he loved his toys. He and Princess would join us on the bed in the morning. Lion preferring the sofa. The house is lovely and comfortable and the big bonus is that it's very walkable into Town to numerous bars cafes and restaurants. We had planned to visit Albi an hour away but in the end stayed close to.home going to various villages 20 mins away for coffee or lu ch. We had a great canoe trip in the town. We felt very relaxed at the house and enjoyed chilling on the balcony with lovely views. Thank you for choosing us.
Dominique and Blake were great hosts. They thought of everything and made us feel like old friends. Maggie adapted to us quickly. She is active and cuddly but does not like being left on her own for long periods. She is very interested in squirrels. The house is very comfortable with several reclining seats. The kitchen has everything. The neighborhood is quiet and there are nice walks on mature tree-lined streets in every direction. We went to Red Morten Park to play pickleball everyday.
Our sit in Amersham was wonderful. Johnny and Fran were kind and wonderful hosts. Fran and Johnny had great communication and there easy handover. Jhonny came and picked us up from the station and they cooked us a beautiful meal for dinner. They drove us back to the train at the end of the sit. Johnny and Frans's home was immaculate, well set up, and close to public transport and the town center. Their pets Bailey and Willow were very sweet, loving girls and had a beautiful temperament. They were very easier to take care of and an absolute pleasure to be with. We loved exploring the local area with the girls and we really enjoyed all the cuddles we had with them. We will miss these sweet loving pets. We all would highly recommend this house sit and we are sure you will fall in love with Bailey and Willow.
Sarah is lovely and really accommodating. Poppy is the biggest cutest bear I’ve ever had the pleasure of cuddling. My dog Leonard got on really well with her. I didn’t see much of Florence, but did have a nice stroke and cuddle now and again. I’m returning in December, and looking forward to it. The area / walk are outstanding, lots of lovely wildlife. Highly recommended, but you’ll have to beat me to it! ❤️

Camp canine is the best. They took care of my sweet corgi like he was their own. The staff is always friendly. Facility is clean. Affordable. I love that they had grooming as well. Made my life easier! Bring your pets here if you want the best experience!
The mention of “school” and my doggo is at the door waiting and ready to go! If he could drive himself there I think he would! 😂 He is always excited to go and just as excited to come home. You know the saying, “A tired dog is a well behaved dog.” He is always well tired when he comes home and it shows he has had a great time. The staff are great there and always happy to see him! My boy after a great day/night boarding this weekend.
Our dog Cocoa just spent a week at Camp Canine and had an amazing time. We’ve been dog owners for over 15 years and never boarded and we’re incredibly nervous. Camp Canine made sure to keep us updated on how Cocoa was doing and took such incredible care of her. She’ll definitely be back to have more fun! Check out the photo - she’s exhausted from all the fun she had! She made lots of friends.
My dog loves it here. Cried as soon as we pull up. If he lives the people then it must be amazing.
My dog Jack (mixed 40lbs) loves going to daycare. I just recently had him boarded for four days and I felt so at ease knowing he was in good hands. They asked great questions to make sure he got the best care (dinner preferences and medication needs). Jack loved his vacation at Camp Canine and I’ll definitely be bringing him back for daycare and boarding as needed.
My pup loves daycare! Staff are wonderful and it’s so convenient and affordable!
Our dog Leonardo started going to Camp Canine as a puppy for training. He fell in love with the trainers and we decided to try the day care. OMG ... not only did he see some of his puppy friends from training classes but he met and fell in love with the Camp Counselors. Leonardo's happiest days are when he goes to Camp and plays with everyone. He also loves his spa treatments when he gets deep tissue massages, teeth cleaned and so much more. There are says we feel that if he could drive he would drive himself to the Happiest Place on Earth ... Camp Canine.
My baby Hulk goes to boarding at camp canine. He is always taken care of and I completely trust them! They are great!
My dog loves this place! Reasonable prices, friendly staff. I like that my dog is tired when she gets home, since I am too. Like the extra holiday activities they offer and it was cute that my dog took home a valentines card for me :) Keep up the good work. Mystra really loves you guys!
Camp Canine is one of the most professional and organized doggy daycare and boarding we have had the pleasure of sending our dog to. They are so loving and welcoming to all breeds. Our German Shepherd Bagheera absolutely loves playing with her doggy and human friends at daycare. They do a spectacular job with her baths and nail clipping. We feel so safe boarding Bagheera with them when we are away as we know that she will be loved and well cared for.
our pup CANNOT wait to go play. she loves it and forgets we exist, the moment we arrive. I never worry about boarding her, at Candlewick! The photos are the best and the report card is so sweet! She is in amazing hands 🥰🐾
We were very happy with Candlewick Kennels in Glastonbury, CT. We boarded our furkid dog for 3 days. It was a great process from scheduling to check out. We signed him up for their doggy daycare while he was there so that he wouldn’t be alone all day. He had a free assessment before he arrived to be sure he would be a good candidate for mingling with a group of dogs. He passed and he loved it. We watched him on live CAMS. We knew he was happy. They gave him his meds! Staff is wonderful. He always gets groomed there.
Can’t recommend Candlewick Kennels enough! After a really bad experience at another local daycare/boarding facility, I was hesitant to bring my dog anywhere else — until I found Candlewick Kennels. I know my dog is in great hands here! He absolutely LOVES going to boarding / daycare. The staff is always so pleasant & I can tell they really care about all the dogs. They communicate any concerns immediately & are super responsive. Truly cannot recommend this place enough for any / all of your pet needs :)
This place is awesome. Great, friendly, efficient service at good prices. I had my Bernedoodle puppy’s first grooming done here yesterday and he looks like a brand new pup, in a great way!! Jessica did a fantastic job and we’ll be returning every month for a bath and brush at least until he’s a year old. And will continue to use for grooming.
I have been boarding my dog at Candlewick for the past 2 years. Also am frequently using daycare to keep him socialized. The staff is great and prices are similar to others. I love the web cam so I can check in whenever I want. I highly recommend.
Candlewick is the only place my wife and I are comfortable bringing our dog Iroh. The staff are always friendly, and remember him. Anytime he’s boarded their communication has been top notch. He once had an upset stomach while staying with them, and they called me and made a plan to add rice to his meals and keep us updated. We feel like he is safe and cared for, every single time. Doggie daycare is great, and they have live cameras so you can see how the dogs interact. There is always plenty of staff members. Their groomers are amazing and have an immense amount of patience. My dog is very energetic, and they do amazing work on him and he never comes home stressed. The groomer always checks what we want done first, and he comes home smelling amazing. This facility is 25 minutes from my house and we will never use anyone closer, peace of mind is huge.
Love letting our dog get social experiences here and feel comforted leaving her for extended boarding. Webcam option let's us check in whenever we like and report cards let us know how she behaved when we weren't looking
I don’t want to bring my dog to any other kennel. Some kennels you can sense when your pet does not want to be there if they stand at the door not wanting to go in. At Candlewick my dog has no problem with going with the staff. They really seem to care about peoples pets and not just treat them as an animal. I got texts from the staff when there was anything out of the ordinary happening with my dog. I love getting the snuggle sessions for my dog and getting the selfies texted to me. I would definitely recommend! You feel at ease sending your pet here and aren’t worried they are scared or miserable when you are away.
My dog Teddy previously went to multiple Petco locations over the years for grooming but the stylists always said that he gets nippy with them so recommend going to a private groomer. I have brought Teddy to Candlewick for recurring 7-8x week grooming appointments for the past 4 years and their report card always gives him high praises. This just shows that environment and space really do make a big difference when it comes to our fur babies wellbeing and comfort. I have not done the boarding service yet but will definitely not hesitate if needed to. Their app allows viewing of the playtime areas so you can virtually check to see how the pups are doing as well which is a huge win I think for dog parents. Teddy is an elder dog now so he likes being alone which Candlewick also accommodates for dogs who need to board solo. Overall great services, and super friendly staff! Thanks from me and Teddy!
Candlewick is great! My dogs love staying there and the staff is amazing. They were very accommodating at pick up when there was a misunderstanding on my part. I highly recommend for daycare and boarding.
Had such a good experience today for my dogs swimming lesson! Such knowledgable and caring staff. My Doberman sinks in the water, by the end of the lesson he was kicking all 4 feet! Can’t wait to continue and possibly do dock diving!
Had a great time at Millie’s first “Try It” session for dock diving! She loved it and both trainers were very helpful in their instruction. She did great and it made me so happy to see her do well!
We had scheduled drop off at 6:30 am. Staff did not accept our dog until 6:50am. Report cards are reported to be generated daily. We got photos 2 days out of a 5 day stay. We also paid for daycare and he was not with other dogs with the exception of 1 puppy. We paid for an exit bath $49 and he was viably dirty and had a strong odor to him when we picked him up. The week prior we had a similar experience after paying for a bath at pick up time he had a line on all paws with yellow on his fur. When we got home he drank a large bowl of water leading me to believe there may be a water restriction while being boarded. We will never use wagging tails again.
I was very upset when I picked up my Rottweiler after my vacation. I was given one price when I left and an increase in price when I returned. When I questioned it, I was treated very rudely by the manager. She spoke to me in a very unprofessional manner.The manager mentioned numerous times that she is putting her daughter through college and can’t adjust price or give discounts. I requested that my dog receive an exit bath and she was returned with a horrible stench and had diarrhea. They did not specify why she had diarrhea. In addition, we called to let them know that our flight was delayed and they never shared that she had diarrhea. I will never put my dog there again and I don’t think they have good hygiene habits in their kennel.
I took my time composing this, as I was very upset initially. I was spoken to rudely on the phone and at drop off, but I let that go. I took my dog for the required 5 hour evaluation to board. My usual kennel I board her at every year had no more space, so I sought another option. I dropped her and assumed all was well. Upon my pick up of her 5 hours later I was informed she was never removed from the kennel due to her high levels of stress. I never received a call from them to have the option to pick her up. I asked why I wasn’t informed of her extreme distress and was met with literally no answer. She had a large cut on her nose, she and was ill for two days after. She boards every year and has never had an issue before, she is very social and goes to the dog park weekly. I can’t understand why I wouldn’t be informed of her panic when it went on for the whole 5 hours so I could choose to come get her. There was no explanation for the cut on her nose. I don’t know what happens there, but I certainly would not recommend.
I hurt my back , and have a yellow Labrador retriever 12 week old puppy couldn’t take care of him!!! Call Wagging tails. And they took him right in. Went to pick him up all I saw was a happy little puppy. they were great they checked with my vet make sure he had all his shots!!! Took him back today!! he couldn’t get in the door quick enough he just loves the staff I say five stars!!! Somehow it says for trying to get it to say five but definitely a five star
Went twice I will not go back I found a better place I travel an hr away. This last time we waited an hr appointment. The pool is still green algae, trainer stated that don't bring her ball she ll drink the water which make her stomach turn No in reality the green algae just for her being in the pool and her cleaning her selfafter wards she might have systems such as know diarrhea .cyanobacteria is poisonous and could be life threatening so please dont go to this place I found a better place where there is actually a private lesson for an hr where the pool is clean they have multiple other events they train there cheaper by 10 bucks there punctual. I can only imagine what the kennels look like at this wagging tails facility if what this pool looks like.and my dog is my service dog can't go anywhere hopefully when I go to my doctor s appointment she diarrhea s before going in to the va .
Rosa loved her stay here! I'll use these guys again! Highly recommend! When she came back home, it was a seamless transition. Like we never left. This place is the next best thing to staying at 'grandma's house'! So cool! Staff treated my little girl like she was family. I loved the photos and reports they sent daily. This feature was so beneficial to my piece of mind while away. I enjoyed seeing her smiling face playing with other dogs and making friends. Excellent social interaction they are promoting by mixing dogs based on personality and not size. This is a great place that understands how to treat our little fur babies. Its definitely not just a kennel. It's her home away from home. I'm considering using the daycare program to teach Rosie how to swim. We'll be back!
Hired for a week only showed up for two days, lost two cats, non-hired individuals entered our home, door unlocked, alarm broken, keys not returned so locks had to be replaced *documentation provided by police who arrived on site when arrived and home unlocked, dark and contents proved no one had entered for five days! Cugo was reprehensibley rude, unprofessional
Maximiliano had the best time of his life. Staff and owners were extremely attentive and amazing. I was not wrong when I decide to drive for 90 minutes to bring Maximiliano there for a few hours. I wish I could live closer so that we could bring Max every day. We LOVE this place.
I have used whiskers while you work services for many many years. They would come to my house to take care of my Kiki, the cat, and they were just absolutely wonderful. My cat never felt alone when I was on vacation. All of their services are absolutely wonderful I highly highly recommend them, and I would not go anywhere else for doggie daycare, grooming, babysitting all the facilities are wonderful. Even my vet told me just the other day that she is heard great things about them. Cara, is one of the most wonderful people I have met. She adores and loves the animals that come to her. I would not trust anyone else with my animals. Her staff is unbelievably dedicated because they learned that from her. She takes her responsibility as an owner extremely serious and pours her entire heart into her business. Cara and all of the people that work there are so great and your animals will feel very much at home they will be very well cared for. Katherine C.
I have had Whiskers While You Work take care of my horses, dogs, and cats for several years while I am away from home. They do an excellent job and go above and beyond what would normally be expected. I highly recommend this organization for your critter sitter needs!
We've been with Whiskers While You Work for years. Owner Cara Ashnault is a class act. Responsible, dedicated, avid animal lover and devoted business owner, she has always been a safe, reliable caretaker for our precious boy. We've used Whiskers While You Work for pet sitting on multiple occasions when we've been away and feel confident entrusting Cara with our home and our family member.
As a pet sitter myself I was very picky as to who would watch my kitties while I was away...luckily I found Whiskers While you Work..Cara takes wonderful care of my boys as she would her own pets. I never worry when I'm gone anymore!
Super professional, trustworthy and caring. I highly recommend!!!
Thank You
I love Charlene and Lynn at Pooch Palace Resort! They went above and beyond to help me and my pup. The kennel is absolutely clean and the girl who took care of my pup was super! I highly recommend them. My favorite place so far!
Kathleen at Pooch Palace in New Hartford was wonderful with my 2 pups today ! They were really treated to a spa day which included a facial. They were so pampered and relaxed. My baby Buddy was actually asleep before we even left !!! Buddy and Joey ate when we got home and have been sleeping for hours already. What a great day!! Kathleen .... we will be your regulars!!! 💜💜 I recommend you as a groomer and Pooch Palace in New Hartford 100 percent!!
I’m under my husbands name here. But I just want to give a review of my experience today. I brought my dog Otis in today. It was our first time here. We have tried many groomers. The reason for this is because my dog is absolutely terrified of being groomed. Many groomers can’t complete the task. Otis screams, yelps, tries to bite. I have brought him home from other places half shaved because he is too hard. Today I stayed with my dog during this session. The two ladies that groomed him where so kind and comforting to my pup. They helped him through this process and made him feel as comfortable as possible. It wasn’t a easy job as Otis was extremely matted due to no one being able to finish him and months and months passing without his feet/legs and face being properly cut. I will 100% come back. I know my dog is getting the care he needs/detects here. Such great ladies and so happy I have finally found a place to help my dog through these cuts.
My dogs love Pooch Palace. When I arrive they jump out of the car and run to the front door. The ladies are most accommodating and send videos of my dogs at play. It gives me piece of mind to vacation. I highly recommend Pooch Palace
My Dog Rascal loves the Pooch Palace. He looks forward to his stay whether it is a night or a weekend; it’s like a vacation for him. What a wonderful team - they are responsible, reliable and very accommodating.
If you are anywhere near Canaan CT and are looking for a place to board your dog or cat for an hour or a day this is the place to put your pet. The owner and staff are great with the animals and take special care. Courteous and professional staff make this a very special place!
I have been bringing my little Bichpoo to Charlene for grooming for several years. Charlene and her staff are wonderful. They are very caring, kind and always put my little dog at ease. Charlene does a wonderful job.
They were always amazing with our dogs. Would recommend to anyone and everyone Jethro and Chopper miss them
My dog loves going to daycare. Staff is very friendly. They also put pictures up on Facebook of dogs at daycare which is fun to see.
My pup Dallas never had so much fun, great place, very nice people, and affordable!
This was our first time boarding at Bark Inn Kennels but it will not be our last. Diane was welcoming and the dogs seemed to be happy there. She took the time to let our dogs get adjusted to the surroundings rather than just put them directly into the kennels. She was very accommodating when we asked to put up the dogs outside her stated pick up hours. Also to her credit, the dogs did not come home smelling like they had been in a kennel for 4 days!
I have been bringing my sweet girl to Diane for what feels like a long time now. She loves the care and connection that Diane provides to her. It is clear that Diane knows her personality and they have a bond. Its here she has the best care that can be offered away from home. Diane sends me pictures of her playing and enjoying her days when she has her. Diane is always responsive and kind in our interactions. I can now say that this is my girls home away from home. If your looking for a lasting partner you can depend on to care for your love I highly recommend Bark Inn!!
We recently boarded our 2 male dogs, a 10 year old Golden mix and a 10 month old Doberman. They were well cared for and exercised. Diane was kind enough to send updates, including pictures, to reassure us that we made the right choice for our beloved pets while we were out of town. We highly recommend Bark Inn Kennels!
Today was a hard day as it was the last time my pups would stay with Diane at Bark Inn Kennels. Unfortunately we are moving and the standard she set makes finding a new kennel next to impossible. If we weren't moving so far away I would make the trip up just so our pups could stay with her. They absolutely love going to Bark Inn which fills my heart with joy. They can't talk or tell us personally how much they love it here but their wagging tails and puppy smiles say it all. I have been going to this kennel for 25 years and it is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST kennel around. You will feel your pups are staying at a five star all-inclusive resort. I wish all kennels were as good as Bark Inn and the owners loved the dogs as much as Diane does. It is more than five stars and I promise you will be glad you found this treasure!!! Sarah M. Somers , CT
Diane at Bark inn kennels was excellent. She is so caring, attentive to your pet. This was the first time I left my dog since I rescued him in 2017. She reassured me every thing will be fine enjoy your 5 day vacation. She texted me everyday how he was doing, even sent a picture of him, and said he is such a good boy The facility was immaculate. I would highly recommend this kennel for your pet. 🐕
Bark Inn Kennel is fabulous. We boarded our dog there for the first time in July. We called ahead to see if would could check out the facility and Diane could not have been more gracious. She showed us around, explained the daily routine and made us feel very comfortable leaving our Daisy girl in her care. We got a daily text message and photos of how she was doing. When we picked her up after 4 days she was has happy as can be. I highly recommend Bark Inn Kennel, you won't be disappointed in the care your pet gets while you are away.
I can't express how much I loved Diane at Bark Inn Kennels! I was so anxious about having to board my 6mos. old puppy, I had a placed booked as I was leaving in 5 days!! Although I just couldn't shake the feeling it wasn't the right place- for him. I called Bark Inn Kennels and as soon as I spoke to Diane I felt comfort. We visited and my pup was anxious as he wasn't use to being around so many dogs, Diane spent time explaining the schedule, her love for her families & their dogs, the schedule, her beliefs & passion. Spent time with Nico to make sure he would be comfortable with her and the facility. I knew I had found the place. Needless to say I canceled the other facility and Nico was signed up with Diane at Bark Inn Kennels. This mama cried at drop off but Diane sent an update two hours after I dropped off Nico. I was so relieved it meant so much to me. I received updates throughout the week and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Nico was having fun and was in good hands. When I picked him up he was happy and looked great! We will be back to see you Diane Thank you so much! Kim & Nico
Bark Inn made us feel comfortable from the first encounter. Our dogs were able to sniff around and get used to the property with me present. We received multiple texts and photos updating us on the status of our girls throughout their stay. It’s a 45 minute drive for us but totally worth it. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making the experience fantastic!!
Highly recommend Bark Inn…they were very responsive, reservation process was simple, and had great communication during my pet’s stay. Will definitely be using them again for my next trip!
Our 2 English Bulldogs had a great experience at Bark Inn. It is a very clean facility and Diane really cares about the fur babies. She sent us text updates throughout the weekend which we loved and we would definitely recommend!!!
