Nina watched our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a week. This is the first time we’ve had someone in our home to watch them who wasn’t family. She far exceeded our expectations. We got updates everyday and she took the best pics. My youngest can be a hand full and they can both by needy, but she was very attentive and gave them both all the love. It was great to get away and know our babies were well taken care of.
I meant to write this sooner. We had such a great experience with Love Pup in January. Nina watched our dogs and cats for four nights and she was amazing. One of our dogs has severe anxiety, is on medication for it, and Nina did so well with him. The communication and updates while we were gone were great and Nina reached out with any questions and concerns. After coming out for the meet and greet, we scheduled four 30 min visits leading up to us going out of town to get our anxious pup used to Nina. She was very patient with him. We have always been worried about leaving him more than the others because of his anxiety and being able to socialize with the sitter ahead of time made a world of difference. We’ll definitely use your services again. Thank you LovePup
We used this service to care for our guinea pigs while on vacation. Lauryn took such great care of our animals!! She put our minds at ease that they were being loved even while we were gone. The daily updates were fantastic and made us smile. I’m so grateful for her and this service. We would absolutely hire her again!!
Love this Pet Sitting Company!! Amazing!! Especially our pet sitter Nikki!! She is so great! She is so good with our pets!!
LuvPup has been sitting for my baby (4 legs) for a few years now. Morgan and I are very happy with their service. My job can sometimes put me in situations that are hard to plan and schedule. LuvPup has been great and works with me when a situation arises Morgan and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a pet sitting service.
We recently had LuvPup come and take care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. Lauryn was amazing! One of our pups has high anxiety and a hard time with new people. She was so patient with her! I received updates from each visit along with pics of the dogs. It was so reassuring while we were away.
My experience using LuvPup Pet Sitting has been awesome! There is literally nothing bad to say. Terry and her husband (who sometimes helps out) are friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, caring, reliable and responsive. I've used their overnight pet-sitting services as well as their mid-day walk services for my 4 year old chocolate lab (he can be a handful) -both times I had a positive experience. They sent pictures and/or left me notes with updates which I appreciated. I truly trust they took such good care of him in my absence. I would most definitely recommend their company and services. I'm getting ready to book more mid-day walks as I write this!
LuvPup Pet Sitting is a reliable, affordable, high quality pet care service. We highly recommend their services! The business owner ensures great customer service, communication between the care takers and pet owners and respectfulness of owner's homes. If you are looking for great care and affordable price-give LuvPups a call.
LuvPup is absolutely fantastic! My dog Mason has severe separation anxiety and I couldn't be happier with how well this is going. I live in Lancaster and really appreciate that the Owner, Terry, was able to fit us in her schedule. It's so refreshing to have someone that you can trust in your home and that understands the needs of Mason and his behavior. I've taken a few vacations recently and have finally been able to enjoy them knowing Mason is in good hands. I highly recommend LuvPup - you will be 150% satisfied!
We highly recommend LuvPup Pet Sitting. It is wonderful to come home and know that our dogs have been well taken care of. They always keep our house safe and even bring in our mail. Our dogs even get more walks when they come over:) They have always been very flexible to our changing schedules, and sometimes delayed trips. We are very happy to have friendly, wonderful people taking care of our dogs.
We've used Scales Tails & Paws for years, having them check on our kitties when we go out of town. Everyone has been great. Morgan especially has had a great bond with the cats and I love the updates with pics!
We had Scales Tails and Paws watch our 3 cats over Christmas. Our oldest cat was 20 with diabetes and needed insulin twice a day. This team did such a good job taking care of our cats. I knew the oldest cat wouldn’t do well with us gone. He did end up getting sick, and Ingrid brought him to the vet for us. He unfortunately passed away, but Ingrid was there to love him through it. I am so thankful they were there for our old boy in his final days when we could not be. I highly recommend Ingrid and the crew at Scales Tails & Paws, especially if you have special needs pets.
We have been using this service for almost a year now for their dog walking services. It’s been smooth sailing from the get go. I love how you can book/request online easily. Communication has always been quick, efficient and clear. I feel very safe with anyone from this company coming into our home to walk our dogs, it’s usually the same two people but if it’s ever someone else they give me a heads up. To note our two dogs are large and tend to be a little wild so managing both of them can be a lot but they have never complained about caring for our dogs and have been able to manage them fine. In fact they tell us how much they have enjoyed them! My favorite part is the update with pictures they send to your phone after each visit. We don’t have a consistent need because we have odd work schedules but they have the option on their website to schedule consistent walks daily or weekly. Easy customer website portal to use, very user friendly. Would recommend to neighbors, friends and family to care for their pets! Pictures in post are pictures from updates they have sent me.
As I was recovering from surgery we used ScalesTails and Paws for our dogs daily morning walk. Morgan is the best. He was very attentive to her needs and by the last day she was giving Morgan kisses. I loved that Morgan even sent pictures and a recap of their walk each day. It was such a huge help to us each day .
These people are the greatest. As much as I hate to leave my fur babies when I travel, I 100% trust these people with my dogs. They always share pictures of my dogs from their visits as well what happened with each dog during the visit. I highly, highly recommend this company 🐾🐾🐾
We love ScalesTailesandPaws! My husband and I just moved to the area and needed pet care. Ingrid (and team) came highly recommended. Our pets love their visits and updates. Thank you!!
We have been using Scales Tails & Paws for the last few years. We usually have them stay overnight with our furbabies when we're out of town. They take great care of them and treat them like their own. We love that they keep us up to date and send us pictures while we're away!
Thank you for the fabulous care you provided for my boys! When I got home from vacation- they were bright eyed & looked great! So wonderful to see their “report cards” and pictures everyday! Adorable ❤️I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Ingrid & her team were watching my boys. Thank you a million!!!
These guys are the best! Every single dog walker they have sent our way has taken such good care of our dog, I never have to worry. They always send me fun photos that always make my work day better too and my dog loves them!
We love Ingrid and her team who take such great care of our furkids. We've used STP's services over 15 years. They've done a great job adapting to all of our pets' specific needs over the years.
Jeanette watched my 17 year old cat for 5 days recently. 2x a day w/ medicine in a pill pocket. I am so pleased with the care and love given to my old girl during my absence. I received thorough descriptions, pictures and videos during each of these visits. Jeanette even brought wet cat food treats for her to try when I mentioned she wasn’t enjoying her current wet food, which she loved. The entire experience was so easy and comforting while I was away and would recommend Jeanette and her team to ANYONE looking for any care for their furry companions. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful and I would utilize her services again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything Jeanette!
Jeanette did a wonderful job the few times I had her care for my cat. Within only two visits she was able to coax my stranger-wary cat out from under the bed for pets and playtime. Communication was frequent and I received several cute pictures each day I was gone. If I ever move back to the Columbus area, I would book through Fur Star again in an instant!
I used Fur Star Pet Care for the first time last week when I went on vacation. I was nervous because my cat had never been left alone for an extended amount of time - I was gone almost 9 days. Jeanette provided excellent care for my cat, who tends to be particular about what kind of food she eats. Jeanette was patient and even experimented with combining two flavors of food together. Every day I got a detailed message about how she was doing, including multiple photos (I don't know how she takes such great photos, but what a talent!), how the "bathroom" was going (absolutely no issues there), and what progress had been made with my cat's level of comfort with her. By the end of the week, my cat was purring, playing a little, and eating fine, both regular food and treats. Jeanette also brought in my mail for me which I really appreciated and turned my living room lights on and off since I had lost my light timer. Also, the rates are very reasonable for the service provided. I can't say enough good things about Jeanette and Fur Star. What great service and I will most certainly use them again!
Fur Star Pet Care is a fantastic pet sitting service that I’ve been using for a few years for my cats. Jeanette is a wonderful sitter who genuinely cares about the cats. She sends several pictures every day she visits and provides very thorough updates. She has gone above and beyond for me many times when problems come up. For example, she has helped the cats stay warm when my heat went out and attempted to fix my sink when she noticed it was clogged. I can’t say enough great things about Jeanette and her business. I highly recommend her service if you are looking for a pet sitter
Jeanette has been taking care of our two cats whenever we go away since we moved to Columbus a year and a half ago. She has come to feed and play with them many times (including during one long research trip), and they absolutely love her. We have used lots of pet sitters in the past, and Jeanette is by far the best person we’ve worked with. We always come home to a clean apartment, watered plants, collected mail and packages, and, most importantly, happy cats. 100% recommend.
Absolutely the BEST in-home pet care you can get! I've had them come in to take care of my cat a few times while I've been traveling, and they do an amazing job of making sure my little girl has everything she needs, and then some! Daily updates, pictures of playtime and snugs, even an extra treat or two! I cannot give enough praise to Fur Star!
Jeanette has taken care of our two cats for three years. They have truly developed a special relationship, and I always feel confident that they will be well taken care of when we leave town for a couple of days or even weeks. Jeanette knows their personalities and treats them with great kindness. Recently when my wife and I had our first baby, Jeanette made sure to be available around the unpredictability of the event, and we knew we would find two happy cats to greet our new baby. And, we love getting the updates and pictures twice a day!
I love Fur Star! I have 2 cats (1 with diabetes who requires insulin injections) and they take great care of them when I’m away. Each visit is documented (including with pictures) and they update you on everything they do during the visit. The website is really easy to use to book appointments and to communicate with the owner, Jeanette (who is awesome!), if any questions come up. If you are looking for a pet sitter, Fur Star is wonderful and I highly recommend them!
Finding Fur Star to care for our cats has changed our lives - I know that sounds hyperbolic but it's true. The values that these ladies have when it comes to pet care is remarkable. They truly treat our animals as if they were their own! Directions are followed without fail and they always find ways to go over and above. I never would have thought I'd find peace leaving my animals to anyone outside of family but I have! Their sense of humor in the photo updates they give is such a fun sprinkle on top of already amazing pet care. Love them to pieces!
Jeanette at Fur Star truly loves my pet. I feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She follows the schedule exactly the way I had written out. She sent me lots of photos and the GPS map of the walks. Great experience using their services and I highly recommend.
First, I should have done this review a while ago. There are not enough stars for the folks at The Doggy Den. My dog would have daycare here when we lived in Columbus and he had a blast while at daycare. He would always come home tired! We moved out of state over a year ago and recently returned for a visit. I contacted the folks at The Doggy Den and asked about daycare. They were amazing and understanding of the reason for our visit. The Doggy Den was able to take my dog back for a couple of days. I am super grateful and highly recommend The Doggy Den!!
My dog Bella went here for bathing,doggy daycare and onboarding. She has been around multiple dogs and she enjoys playing!! Literally will play until she drops! One of the individuals who works there also has a dog and daycare and to my understanding they did not get along. I was not provided with the details and I was informed that Bella would not be a good fit. I followed up to receive more information and was not provided with anything more than we do not feel this is a good fit. I spoke with my vet, Dr. Beer (he's at Care Pet clinic in Olde Town East and phenomenal by the way and always patient with Bella who is excited to see him!) who actially likes doggy den and is familiar with my dog since she was 8 weeks and he was higly suprised. Due to her being lovable and a bursts of energy. This was a new place for Bella and I think just like people take time. Dogs take time to get comfortable with new places. Bella did demonstrate some anxiety but in my opinion that is normal especially with new people and new dogs. But who am I? I am just a social worker. I think the transition wasn't very professional but it happens especially within smaller businesses. I would've appreciated more information and specifics so that I could better assist my dog and find a better fit. Due to traveling a lot she was previously staying with Doggy World who does an in home boarding and we have never had any problems but when this option closed I began to search for other options. Bella was at the Doggy den approximately 2 months. I was highly upset when I was informed my dog had been caged for most of her stay and I am sure this is why she was anxious!! Bella roams free and has not been caged in almost 2 years and especially to be left for a period of time. I understand time outs are necessary but as I stated little information was provided and I was already feeling a little iffy due to feeling like Bella was caged during doggy daycare one day due to her being ready to leave with lots of energy still. Not like her usual self ready to relax after a day of play. So when she called and said she didnt think it was a good fit. I left work to go get my Bella.
Last Wednesday my dog, Trace, was hurt while under the care of “The Doggy Den” When I picked him up, he had a visible limp. He appeared to be uncomfortable. Nothing was said to me so I assumed he was simply tired but decided to keep an eye on him. On Thursday morning, I woke up to him crying while walking to his water bowl. His limp was worse. He would only walk about 5 feet and need to lay down. He refused to come to me, even with a treat. I called a friend who advised me to keep an eye on him and see if he gets better throughout the day. Around noon the same day I remoted into my security cameras and found him in the same condition as before. I tried calling doggy den to see if something happened that I was unaware of. I was told every single manager was busy and was assured I would get a call back. By 2pm I remoted back in to him a dozen times but this time he would not get off the couch. He would not get up. I left work and had it set I was taking him to an ER vet. He did not greet me at the door like he normally does. He still did not move from that couch. I had to carry my 75lb dog to my vehicle and lift him in the back. While waiting on X-rays I texted someone at his daycare asking if there are safety issues that I was not made aware of. What they advised me is disgusting. They have also sent a video of the owner himself kicking a dog. Trace has a soft tissue injury. It is the equivalent of a sprained ankle. He is on pain meds and is to Rest for 2 weeks. It is not as severe as a break. But is damaging. I still had not received a call back from doggy den and my calls were now going unanswered. I FBI’d into getting the owners personal cell phone number. I have included texts, videos. I have audio recordings that will not upload. This company, and the owner himself has questioned IF trace was hurt at all. I didn’t not wake up and decide to spend $1k at a vet suddenly. I cannot fake X-rays. He doubted my texts/calls and has refused to show me camera footage from the day in question. He is only offering snippets of what he feels applies to me. I am not driving across town to look at snippets on your phone. If I go there, it will be with a subpoena to review all 10 hour of footage. If you have ever met Trace, you will quickly learn how lovable and playful he is. He will run outside 24/7 if you allow him to. He does not run out of energy. It will take him days of constant playing to exhaust him. This is something that should have been quickly picked up on. This should not have gone unnoticed. This company is to not be trusted. If you are in the Columbus area, I would highly advise you go ANYWHERE else.
Our dogs have been coming here since Kris first opened. No kennel/prisons, just lots of love and fun for every dog. When our beloved Henry died, they even made us an album of his days with them. I can’t imagine taking our pups anywhere else.
We have checked out several dog daycares throughout the city and we love the Doggy Den! The staff is great! We feel good knowing our beloved fur baby is well taken care of during each visit. They have a safe outdoor area for the pups to play. Hanz has been going weekly to play with his friends for over a year and half. We are grateful to have a trusted place for our pup to play. Bad
Chris and the whole team are AMAZING! Our girls have so much fun at daycare. Alexis is a fantastic groomer who always makes our pups look great😁 …
This is an awesome place. The facility is super clean and the staff genuinely cares about your dog. It's more than money for them, it's a passion. If you want to feel safe and secure about the care of your pet this is the place!!
Started taking our two pups there last month. They both are very excited when we pull in for drop off and are exhausted when it comes time to go home. Highly recommend , the staff is excellent!
It took me a long time to find someone that can cut my babies hair and finally found her! Azaria is amazing and is so good to my little girls. Thank you so much.
What a great place for grooming!!!! Unfortunately, our groomer passed away this year. He had been our groomer for 30 + years. Our 14 year old Bitzi (toy poodle) loved being with him. We tried a new groomer and Bitzi was not happy! She would shake and fought us when leaving her. We were told about Doggy Den from an acquaintance. We took her in to meet them and she took to them right away! Made an appointment! She went for her appointment and we were so please and so was Bitzi!! Recommend them very highly!! 5 star place! They really care about your furbabies!
Breanna brought my 2 dogs to and from my wedding and stayed the night with them afterward. She was absolutely incredible!! My dogs are my babies so I’m always so nervous leaving them with anyone, but I felt comfortable with Breanna from the beginning of our meet and greet! She safely transported our dogs, took great care of them, and provided lots of photos and updates. I’m so grateful that we got to have our dogs with us on our wedding day. She was also helpful in getting them to pose for pictures. We’ll definitely be contacting Breanna for any pet sitting needs in the future, I’d highly recommend!!
Breanna took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. Sent us daily updates and pictures. It was wonderful knowing our pets were in such great hands.
I can't say enough positive things about Breanna and Fur and Flora. She cares about your pets as if they are her own, and truly loves what she does. The updates and photos each visit are highlights to my day. I love seeing and knowing how our Ellie girl is doing, and Breanna is so good at keeping you updated with any and all information. Trustworthy, reliable, open, honest, caring.. I could go on! Thank you, Breanna for loving our Ellie girl!
Breanna is always wonderful! We've used her for drop-in cat sitting visits multiple times while traveling. There are never any issues; she's always very reliable and professional! She takes great care of our cat and always sends pictures too 🙂 …
Breanna is such a gift! We met her early in my pup's life, and she's been so patient both with crazy puppy behavior but also with my constant worrying about her. She "gets" my doggo, she has so much fun when Breanna visits, I think they have the same playful nature. When my dog was injured and we had to be away, Breanna provided a safe and calm visit and gave her plenty of love and calming pets. I love the reports and pictures of their activities together, it makes being away so much easier. She's also taken some beautiful photos of my dog that are truly frame worthy!
Bree did amazing job with my pup and kitty. She provided lots of photos and put my mind at complete at ease.
Breanna is amazing ! We have a Lab which weighs 120 pounds, a cat and chickens. She sends the best pictures of Thor, I can tell he is having so much fun. We allways have peace of mind when we go on vacation and know that everything is taken care of. Bree is the best fit for Thor and us.
Breanna is everything you could want in a pet sitter. She’s attentive, responsible, and goes above and beyond her job description. I feel comfortable having her take care of my pets because I know she treats them as if they were her own.
We have been using Breanna's services for well over a year now, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. I trust her completely to take great care of our 2 dogs and our cat when we travel. Breanna regularly sends us updates and pictures, and she goes out of her way to leave our house better than she found it. She treats our fur babies like her own. I 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitting.
We hired Breanna to stay at our home with our 2 year old golden retriever while we went away for the weekend. She exceeded our expectations in every way! She provided frequent updates and included pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our baby and home was being well taken care of. Highly recommend her for any of your pet related needs!
Pablo’s Pals is fantastic. They are professional, compassionate and extremely attentive. When we go away and have to leave our precious cat we do not have anxiety. They are detailed oriented and deeply caring. We cannot say enough about this amazing company! Excellent, truly exceptional!
We love Pablo’s Pals! Susan and her entire team are fantastic. My pup Bandit looked forward to his weekly walks. Scheduling is a breeze and Susan was always responsive and helpful with last minute requests. All the walkers/carers are friendly and give you updates and photos post visits. The photos were fantastic and I’ve framed a few! John was our main walker and Bandit would be so excited anytime I said their name. Sadly we moved out of the area, but if we ever move back we will be calling the team back! 🐾
Pablo’s is fantastic! We have been using them for over four years and they are completely reliable; they have never missed a scheduled visit. They take care of our dogs when we go on vacations, often a week or longer. They have also been available to watch the pets for spur of the moment activities. We have two dogs and two cats, and they love Susan, Andrea, and Tristina. One of our dogs has a fear of men and they go out of their way to accommodate his needs. They keep us up to date on the pets with photos and notes for each visit, which is really nice. They will also water plants, bring in mail and packages, and they let us know if there are any issues with the house.
Susan from Pablo's Pals is just great with our big pit-mix Toby He absolutely loved her. He was so happy to see her every day. We highly r her services.
Susan and her team are so wonderful! My dogs love every walk, and I’m so happy that they’re getting exercise and love while I’m at work. I also love getting a picture after each walk! I can’t recommend them enough!
I’ve been really happy with Pablo’s Pals since I started working with Susan and co a few years ago. I feel like my dog is truly cared for and well looked-after….he has a great time too! Highly recommend if you are looking for pet care (walking, boarding, etc) in Columbus, OH.
For six years, Pablo's Pals has provided me with excellent home care for my pit bull Samantha, whenever I've left town. The service sends emails confirming that every visit has occurred, along with frequent photos as proof that my pet remains alive and happy, which allows me to enjoy vacations worry-free. Susan and Pablo's other pals do care deeply about the welfare of animals, and in emergencies, have moved heaven and earth to make sure that Samantha the Pibble was well-cared for. I highly recommend this service.
Susan and her team are absolutely incredible. We have benefitted from her services for 4 years and can't praise them enough for the care they provide! The team is caring, attentive, professional, and really focuses on the safety of your pet. They go above and beyond with updates, recommendations, and quality of care. Highly recommend if you want top notch care for your pet!
Pablo's Pals is the absolute best! We started with them when our dog was just a few months old. They have gone above and beyond to care for our dog! Not only with his daily walks and routine but getting to know our dog and helping us with our questions and concerns as first-time dog owners. We love and trust Pablo's and are so thankful for the dedicated staff! Our dog loves every team member and looks forward to his daily walks.
I trust Pablo’s Pals 100% with my dog and coming into my home. They care for my dog as if she were their own and the scheduling is super accommodating for my unusual schedule. The boarding is also a wonderful and welcome alternative to a kennel. I fully recommend their services for your pet and I try to tell everyone I know about them! Since using them I have had peace of mind whenever my dog is in their care.
We have had the best experience with Happy Tails! We used their dog walking services for our two pups and we just love Amy and all their staff. We knew that our girls were always well taken care of and loved! They have a fabulous app where I could see when the sitter arrived and left for the day. We would also get an amazing report for each visit that included, potty updates, treat updates, and pictures! I could not recommend Happy Tails enough!
I started using Happy Tails after a coworker recommended them. I had a change in shifts at work and needed someone to come and let my dogs out during the day. I love getting report cards and picture updates on them from the dog walker. Both of my dogs have loved every one of the dog walkers that have come and the walks that they get. I have no complaints about this business and plan to use them for all future times I need someone to come and take care of my dogs.
We have been using Happy Tails for several years and continue to be thrilled with their services! It’s wonderful to know that our pup is being so well cared for while we are away.
I have been a customer of Happy Tails for the last 3 years for the care of my two cats when I went on vacation for about a week. My cat sitters were all quite exceptional. They provided loving care and sent a visit report and pics everyday that they were here. One cat required medication twice per day and they handled that with ease. I never worried about my cats nor the sitter’s ability to get in and out of my house using my security system alarm. My house was left in tidy condition and they even got my mail everyday. I wouldn’t trust any other provider to take care of my cats while I’m away; they are the best!! Ann Osborne
Happy Tails provides flexible pet care, which is great for travel and weddings. Each sitter provides timely updates on your pets, and you get photos for each visit. Definitely gives you a peace of mind when you are leaving for out of town.
I’ve used Happy Tails for the past 5 years and cannot recommend them enough- they took the best care of my senior dog and are now the biggest help with my puppy! I love the updates and always feel okay being away when I know they will be coming over to see my boy 🥰 …
I know my 2 cats are always well taken care of when I'm out of town. The sitters are very communicative, and upload pictures for every visit. I've yet to have an issue using Happy Tails!
We were very happy with the service that was provided. I was very nervous to leave my dog for the first time, but the communication was consistent and proactive. We will definitely be using Happy Tails again!
We’ve been using Happy Tails for our fur babies for a few years and are 100% happy with care and services. The sitters are reliable and give so much detail on their visits with the pups. Our dogs love when they come over and get cuddles and play time. We’ve used overnight care a lot, and having that peace of mind to know the dogs and house are well looked after is great, plus the dogs love having someone to sleep with. We recently used the in-home boarding service when we all needed to be out of the house, and our dogs were so comfy with their sitter in their home. Such a convenient option! Highly recommend Happy Tails!
Happy Tails has been taking care of my pets for several years. They are very professional and do a great job of sending pictures and updates of each visit. My dogs have been very happy in their care. Happy Tail’s even helped me when we had a family wedding and needed our grand dogs to be cared for as well by making accommodations for them. I have nothing but good to share about this small business and their professionalism!
I've sent 3 dogs to Homedog regularly since moving to Columbus and consistently been impressed. They've handled two energetic Vizslas and a shy rescue with the type of care that only comes from a staff who LOVE dogs. As an added benefit, I get to enjoy evenings after work with a tired, velcro Vizsla!
My dog Galaxy has been going to Homedog’s for 5 years. I have so many wonderful things to say about the owner, staff, trainers, facility, and training opportunities, but I’ll focus on one for this review. My dog and our family has greatly benefited from Homedog’s philosophy of meeting each dog where they are, working on training while also maximizing the environment to help dogs be successful in it. One of the trainers even Zoomed in to one of my dog’s Vet appointments to more fully collaborate on his care. That is some serious dedication to their Homies! We love Homedog’s and are so grateful for their incredible staff.
Working at Homedog Resort was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The owner and staff genuinely care about every pet that walks through the door, going above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease. The attention to detail, compassion, and dedication to each animal’s wellbeing is incredible. They treat each dog like family!!! As someone who worked closely with the team for 2 years, I can confidently say that Homedog Resort prioritizes the health, safety, and happiness of every dog in their care. Whether it's calming a nervous pup or providing endless playtime for an energetic one, the team does it all with love and professionalism. If you're looking for a place where your dog will feel at home, I couldn't recommend Homedog Resort more highly, both as a former employee and a dog lover!
My pup, a GSD, loves this place. Be it for boarding or daycare, he is never hesitant to go. He has developed wonderful relationships with the trainers. Other than being with his “parents”, this is his favorite place to be.
While Charlie had some experience boarding with his old owners, this was the first time I’ve had to board him. He’s definitely the nervous type, and they did such a great job with him! I’m also apparently the nervous type, but Homedog did a wonderful job fielding my questions up to and during Charlie’s stay. It put my mind at ease to be able to check in on pet cams and see that my boy was okay. Though I live out of town, I will definitely use them if I bring Charlie down when visiting family!
Homedog Resort is top dog! Lame cliche but yes, it’s true. We brought our neurotic but loving rescue hound mix to them and they worked their magic making him feel comfortable and happy. They offer Big Dog and Small Dog Play and the boarding is SO nice. I always have guilt thinking of my dog crates in a lonely weird place while I’m on vacation but not here. They have private actual rooms for the dogs. You can board your own fur babies together if you wish and they use rooms according to dog size and number. They’re open on weekends letting the dogs play and feel some normalcy away from home. They are organized and efficient and the staff is great with the animals. We have our vet out of state and they worked with us for proof of vaccinations etc to make sure our pupper, and all the other dogs are safe. They have a live cam to watch your dog as well. I love it here!! We won’t be back in until August but I can’t wait for my dog to go back and have a great time again!
My dog was attending Homedog's puppy school since he was 5 months old and he recently graduated then transitioned to open play when he turned 8 months old. He goes twice a week and he loves it! I'm glad he's more dog savy because of it. Greg, the owner, does all the training and he's very knowledgeable. There are courses you can enroll your dog into to get them even better trained. My American Bulldog mix puppy has been through one already and he's enrolled into yet another. Each course is affordable about $30 each plus you get a discount if your a member. Rates have recently gone up for open play to $28 a visit for twice a week or $224 a month for a recurring subscription. It's a good experience overall but 4 stars because their administrative abilities lack at times. You have to pay attention with the subscription when an extra week occurs within the month because you've got to add it in since the subscription is for 4 weeks at a time. Also they lose track of paperwork often. I think an inner office manager would do them some good. I've learned to trust them but can't understand why they don't seem to understand that that's a learned thing and not a given. Still the best dog daycare in town in my opinion.
Love them. They are so great with all the dogs and quick corrections. My dog only goes once a week but that little bit of time and exposure to a pack has made him a better behaved dog at parks and on walks etc. Recommend highly!
My dog and I love Homedog and all the homies! My dog is a rescue and has improved so much from her time at Homedog. We love daycare and the private trainings are tailored and flexible for our specific needs. The entire staff has been great with both of us. My dog and I have learned and grown so much. I am so grateful I found this place. I would highly recommend Homedog!
Great place to take your dog for daycare and(or) boarding. I have been using HD services for over 2 years and haven’t experienced any issues. My dog attends daycare a couple times a week and absolutely loves it. Have also used boarding and training services 💯. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great location, offers a variety of services 🐾🐾
We LOVE Doggie Daycare Center!!!! Both our dogs have been coming here for daycare and boarding since we moved to cbus, 4 years ago. Our dogs consider the staff it!! Both dogs love coming here and we enjoy how tired they are after a day of playing with all the other pups. The prices are fair and they keep the dogs UNCRATED all day!!! The facility is clean and has an outdoor/indoor area. I don't know what we would do without Doggie Daycare Center.
They are so kind every time we go and they are great about keeping the dogs active. Our dog is always ready to sleep when we pick her up.
We love Doggie Daycare Center, and so does our dog! We’ve tried a few different daycares in the area, and Doggie Daycare has definitely been our favorite. Highly recommend for daycare and boarding services.
Our pup has been visiting Doggie Daycare Center for just over a year. Dear friends of ours recommended it as truly phenomenal, and they were not wrong. The socialization has been fantastic, and it's easy to see the genuine love that the staff has for dogs. We've used daycare as well as boarding and grooming. Communication is excellent - we cannot imagine a better place.
I can't say enough good things about this place! I was traveling for work, and brought my dog with me, but she needed daycare during the day while I worked. My dog can be rather shy and attached to my hip, but she loved it here! She would get so excited the minute we drove in the parking lot, and run straight to the back without me. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. The facility was very clean, safe and organized. I wish this daycare was in my hometown, because I would bring her here all the time. I feel so lucky to have chosen this spot to care for my dog. The report card and Instagram updates were a delight!
My dog's get so excited to come here. They love it and the staff! Updating after three years: the dogs still love it but I love the place even more. My dog was diagnosed with epilepsy and they are able to take care of him including all the medications and reactions during the seizure. It's very reassuring to take my dogs to a place that can take care of them so well and that genuinely care about my dogs.
Our pup loves Doggie Daycare! He finds similarly energetic dogs to engage with and loves the staff. I feel he is always well cared for, and I appreciate the updates from the team.
We have bringing our dog here for the past 3.5 years and I cannot say enough good things about this place. It's a place where your dog truly gets to run around with other dogs all day. Our dog always comes home tired from a full day of play. They have an indoor and outdoor space. I love their hours and the fact that they are open on the weekend. It's great that we can board him there when we're going out of town (and for only $10 more than the daycare fee), so we know he's still able to run around all day only in the kennel at night. It's nice to know he's not cooped up all day like at some other dog boarding places in town. We've never had trouble with boarding filling up and are always able to schedule it when we want. Plus he LOVES the people there. He is normally afraid of other people, but he has gotten to know the staff and is always excited to see them. You can tell the staff genuinely loves the dogs. The owner turned over a couple years and the new guy is really great. The other reviews that mention a lady are referring to the old owner. Finally- about parking- we used to be able to use the parking spaces in the lot next to the building, but a competitor doggie daycare opened next door and won't let them use those spots anymore (even though they have an entire other parking lot and don't really use them). So you either pop into the loading zone just out front, or park in the parking lot of the dialysis center next door which is just a short stroll to the entrance.
My recently-adopted, 6-month-old shy/anxious puppy loves this place. That says a LOT about how great this daycare is run. We have test-run a few daycares throughout Columbus and in other states, and there were always too many dogs, not enough staff members in the play areas, and my pup was always too overwhelmed without much space for her to get away from the action. After her first day at Doggie Daycare Center, I knew this was the place for her. She was confident, happy, and also tired from playing all day. I appreciate that this daycare isn't a huge business with hundreds (if not thousands) of clients that capitalizes off of them, like a popular one in Columbus that we tried but didn't work out... I'm sure people know which one I am talking about. It is rare nowadays to find honestly-run businesses that care about your wellbeing and aren't just trying to make a profit. I feel like my dog is well-cared for, the staff pays close attention to her and her needs, and they take my personal requests seriously so I can ensure my shy dog has the time of her life. This daycare was a recommendation to me by two friends, and now I see why. I would recommend this place a thousand times.
The groomer was so darn nice and really cares about the dogs she is working with! Our giant breed has arthritis and was very matted from a year of cancelled grooming appointments due to covid. She did a great job with him and worked with me to get a future appointment scheduled so that we can stay in too of his bathing and grooming. After all that, the price was super affordable too! We found our lifetime groomers for Bear and l future pups as long as she is there!
I cannot say enough great things about Furball Fitness. My dog LOVES this place!!
Our dog started going to Furball fitness when he was 11 months old. He has now been going for over 7 months and LOVES IT. This is an incredible team and they take great care of dogs under their supervision. Highly recommend!
I cannot speak highly enough about the staff at Furball. I have a dog with vision problems who is afraid of certain doorways. The staff go ABOVE and beyond to make sure my dog is comfortable and isn’t forced to go somewhere she doesn’t want to. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The facility is clean and not overcrowded. My dogs look forward to coming and I have peace of mind knowing they’re at a great place!
My dogs and I have been customers there for years. They take care of your pets like they are their own. I love them. They are family 10/10 strongly recommend for grooming, boarding or training.
We love Furball Fitness! Have used many of their services including walks, daycare, lodging and training. Always a pleasant experience for both humans and pups :)
They care for your pet like they were their own. Super clean, welcoming fantastic facility and staff. I cannot say enough good about them. My dog gets so excited to go there.
My dogs are always excited when it's time to go to Furball Fitness. We utilize both daycare and bording services. Excellent experiences all around.
Pretty affordable, great care, very kind, dog oriented people who really love the critters they work with! Very communicative!
I was disappointed in the puppy training class. Their website said a benefit of the class would be exposure to other puppies and dogs. There was one other dog in the class and and the dog just wanted to hump my dog so the dogs were unable to socialize with each other. Classes were rescheduled, the other person dropped out and we could not move to an older puppy class because I was told it would be disruptive to the other dogs in the classes who had bonded. I Wish my dog had that experience . I know they cannot control who is enrolled in a class but don’t advertise this. During class 5 I asked two pet owners who were picking up their dogs from daycare if my puppy could meet their dog so my puppy could have some contact with another dog. I didn’t find training that helpful and decided not to go to the last class and have my dog graduate alone.
My dog's separation anxiety has been so bad I don't like leaving him home alone but I needed to do something with him when that wasn't an option. Furball is great! He gets so excited when we pull up he vibrates. Drop off is nice because they take him right back o the other dogs before he even knows I left. Of course, I get a couple hours of pouting after for leaving but I'll take that over the frantic fear in his eyes when I left him alone.
