Cat Sitters in Alert

The staff is friendly, and they are great with the dogs. It's always hard to leave our dog for a few days, but we know they'll take great care of him! The facility is kept very clean. They even post photos of the dogs on Facebook so you can see how things are going. We highly recommend!

Our pups stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. They got a special dinner in Thanksgiving. They came home groomed and exhausted. I would say it was a success. The staff was kind and helpful. They quickly respond to questions and upfront with pricing.

Very happy with this business. We needed a place for my dog to stay for a week(on short notice). Make sure your pet is up to date on shots. We found out the day we arrived that there is a special shot for "boarding" and we had to get this done. Great people and it seems like this is a family run business. We will be back.

I love Red Barn its wonderful. They take great care of my Chihuahua. I don't even worry about her while we're gone because I'm so confident that she is in good hands.

I took my little dog here for the 1st time over the weekend. I was referred to them by close friends who take their dogs there. I am so pleased with this facility!! They treated my dog so well. I will definitely be using this resort again! Thank you, Red Barn!

We love Red Barn Kennels! Our little furbaby Simba enjoys staying there as well. The staff is always so kind. It's a relief to know he's well taken care of when we're unable to bring him with us on our travels.

Well, we went to visit the Red Barn Pet Resort in West Harrison, Indiana this morning. AMAZING!!! CLEAN! Clean looking, clean smelling! We were so impressed. We were feeling horrible about having to leave our buddy, Dutch, for a few days and now we just feel kinda bad. LOL. What a class act operation. The owner and staff were delightful. It is equipped with large kennels, grooming, free space, fenced runs and is layed out to accommodate winter and summer conditions for the “babies”. They have a doggie ice cream truck! What? I wonder if he drives real slow playing music watching them all run after him 😛 Thank you for the tour and a big piece of mind. Dave and Sandra G.

I had a tour of the facility and was very impressed. Lots offered for my dog and was extremely clean. I look forward to using thus place for my dog

My grand dog is high maintenance and difficult but she really does SO well with the staff here. It's super clean and makes me feel our pets are safe.

They took amazing care of our dogs! They even emailed me right away when I sent an email to check on them which surprised me because it was kind of late! They definitely will be my go to kennel for our dogs from now on!!!

Four dogs I have loved have been boarders at Animal Ark when I travel to visit family. The last two, Buckwheat and Millie have also been regular campers during the week. They have been well treated and loved by the staff. They were not fearful when dropped off for boarding because they knew they would be in camp during weeks they were staying at the Ark. I don’t feel guilty about leaving my pet in their care. My current dog Millie is always excited to be there! Thanks to Dakota, Mira, and Brianne and others and all those who preceded them! We love Animal Ark!

Everyone at Animal Ark is so amazing and friendly. Mazie loves going there and playing with all her friends. Especially when they have the pools filled…to say she is a water baby is an understatement. Staff is extremely interactive and creative with the activities they plan. Friends and family have all seen the photos and can’t believe they do a better job than most child day cares. But hey they are our fur babies too! We are counting down the days for her to heal from surgery and be able to come back.

Thank you so much for taking care of Sophie and Toby. After they were groomed and taken to the vet, I’m happy to say that they’re both doing so much better and seem to be happy and comfortable with me and my family. I’ll never forget your kindness. 💕 I want to add to my review. Both cats were in terrible condition after having lived with my elderly aunt for years. They were completely flee infested and their fur was so matted that they couldn’t walk or even lay down properly. The black and white cat (Toby) was 15 years old before he passed away a couple of months ago. He was so much happier and comfortable with my family before he passed. Sophie (the black cat) is now living with my dad who is taking amazing care of her. Animal Ark took very good care of them by making them so much more comfortable by shaving them (which I cant begin to imagine how difficult it must’ve been) and getting rid of the flees. They were so gentle and kind to both kitties while in their care.

It is wonderful. The dogs all have a great time. And my little guy runs to the door to go in. The staff really cares for the dogs

Good quick nailtrim and the staff is always super nice! They take good care of my little ugly dogs. Good local business to support

Animal Ark Pet Resort is great they really helped us out when we went out of town for a couple days for a wedding. My dog has NEVER been away from home and is always nervous anyway. He seemed to be at ease when we dropped him off and very happy when we picked him up also. Thanks Animal Ark for a positive experience for our doggy Rosco!!!

We have always had a positive experience with Animal Ark, whether daycare or boarding. Everyone we’ve encountered has gone above and beyond to provide kind and compassionate care for our pets, we’ve been taking our pets several years. Appreciate that we are given an overview “summary” of pet’s stay upon check out and usually a daycare report. It’s great having Animal Ark as a resource to care for our pet when needed.

Our first experience there and they did an amazing job on our Goldendoodle puppy. He was a farm dog with 9 months worth of hair and extreme matting! After taking him he looked like a completely different dog. His cut looked so professional and he smelled so good! With all the work they put in with the bath, cut, nail trim, ear clean, I paid $70. I highly recommend them and they will have a lifetime customer!

He was so happy to see us went on vacation he stayed about five days they did answered ever when I would call them and get good news about Hooks he did well thank you guys for taking care on the family dog

I really like Animal Ark. I've been taking my pets there for years, for grooming and occasional boarding. I have always had a good experience and their staff has always treated my pets very well. I like how they consult with you each time you arrive, to be sure they know exactly what you'd like done during the grooming. My sheltie dog Kirby, goes there regularly for grooming and he always comes out tail wagging, and looking great!...his fur and nails are trimmed as requested, and he smells really good too! Not only are the groomers great, but the front office staff are always very friendly, and try to accommodate my requests for certain dates when I call, which I appreciate, because sometimes there's so much to juggle! A couple of years ago my husband became ill and unexpectedly had a long hospital stay. On a moments notice Animal ark was able to board my dog and 2 cats immediately...and I was so grateful for them. All things considered, I couldn't be happier to have such nice people at a location nearby. If they ever moved, Kirby, the cats and I, would definitely follow them!;) Many thanks Animal Ark! ~Rhonda Mapes and fur babies

We’ve been using this kennel for about 1 1/2 years and our dogs seem to love it. The staff communicates well and are responsive to our dog’s needs. We’re going to try doggy daycare next for our young doodle. When we have to go out of town, it’s comforting to know that our dogs will be taken care of well!

I really don't want to write this review because I want to keep the best kept secret of dog boarding in Cincy to myself. Alas, A Dogs Life is too good of a facility and people and cost to not let other people know. I've been taking my two large dogs here for over a year, and they are always happy when they get there and happy when they leave. The staff pays attention to detail, especially when we started boarding our nervous second dog, they watched over him the whole time. In addition the staff is responsive, flexible on availability and have SUNDAY pick up! It's not a fancy dog spa facility, but my dogs do not need a TV, or a spa. They need an attentive staff who care for the animals every day and that is what Dawn and her team do. I highly recommend!

A Dog’s Life is incredible! Dawn, the owner loved what she does and you can tell her staff feel the same. They are so kind and they are wonderful with all the dogs. With a pup that has a lot of energy, A Dog’s Life has been an a absolute blessing. It’s a great feeling to drop her off and know she’s going to have a dog’s best day!

I should have known better than to pick the cheapest daycare in the area but all the good reviews had me hopeful. When I started taking Buddy earlier this year we had no issues. He’s a high energy boy but very dog/people friendly and has completed obedience class. One day a worker told me he was “a big problem” and “always causing fights to break out”. They assured me however that he was not aggressive, just “too playful.” This was the first I heard of any problem and it sounded like it was withheld from me for a while. The next time I picked him up a different worker told me he just has a problem with one dog that he’s “infatuated with”. I was getting 2 different stories. They suggested a trainer and socializing him at dog parks more. This didn’t sound like my dog, but I believed them and agreed to their suggestions. I continued to see no bad behavior when I took him to dog parks and the trainer I used also saw no problems and hinted that the workers just don’t know how to handle him and redirect him. A few weeks later I decided to bring him back. Within 1 hour of drop off I got a call I needed to pick him up now. They said “he’s playing too much” and the dogs he’s playing with are “not playful and are picky” I asked why he’s being punished for playing too much (is that not one of the main purposes of daycare?) and why it’s his fault these dogs aren’t playful. I wasn’t given a real answer but went to pick him up. When I got there I was not determined to argue, as I can’t prove to them what I know to be true, that’s he’s a good dog who would do well at any other daycare in town. I just asked if I would be refunded for the day as he was there for less than an hour. The owner Dawn said no because they “worked too hard in that hour” I then asked if they could just charge for a half day (per their policy this is a stay less than 5 hrs). They still said no. I was shocked. At this point they were just being spiteful. A few days later I did get a full refund so I don’t know why they acted so rude and unreasonable. I truly believe these workers are lazy and incapable of handling a high energy dog. I think Dawn is taking the side of the other dogs who’ve been there longer over my dog although he did nothing wrong. They apparently don’t have a way to separate high energy and low energy dogs and should be more upfront about their limitations at the beginning. They also don’t have cameras so who knows what is really going on there. I’m so glad my boy will never again have to step foot in a place where he is not loved or accepted. I would not recommend bringing your dog here.

My doodle and I love A Dog's Life. They were so accommodating when we moved to Cincy 3 months ago. I can tell they watch and take care of my baby and make sure he is happy when he stays with them. I get a report anytime I ask with details of what he has done and who he has played with - which I love!!! Our move was difficult for my pup and they made sure his transition was as smooth as possible. He now gets super excited anytime I tell him we are going. It's super clean and friendly and all the employees are friendly and inviting. We are so glad we found "A Dogs Life"!!!!

We love taking our baby here! It is very obvious the whole team loves and cares for our pup like she is one of their own! As soon as I walk in, Stella runs to whomever is working with such excitement!

There is no other place we would take our dogs! They love daycare and the employees really care about the experience every dog has. It is not the most beautiful of entries, but don’t let that fool you. Our girls have tried, nearly, every boarding and daycare facility on the east side. A Dog’s Life is the only place they forget about me and run in to.

I left my dog for boarding for the first time ever this week. This place was a great choice. Booking her was easy, and the girl was super sweet and genuine. It shows that they love dogs. And I could tell my girl had a good time when I picked her up! If I am ever back in an office, I will consider day care for sure and I wouldn't hesitate to board here again.

This is the best daycare! Dawn and her staff love the dogs and treat them like family. It is such a comfort knowing my dog is in good hands here. I also use them for boarding and haven't had a moment's worry leaving my dog overnight here.

Dawn and her staff are fantastic. We have run the gamut on dog daycares over the past decade and couldn't be happier with A Dogs Life. Our Bobo went to daycare there every Monday until his recent passing. We couldn't even mention the word "daycare" without him crying at the door, wanting to go be with his friends. We recommend them for both daycare and boarding. They took great care of our older girl who only did boarding there. We are so thankful for all of them and their sincere care for all the dogs!

We just moved to the area and I needed a place to board my mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation. After researching and reading reviews, I decided to trust Holy Paws with my girl and they were amazing. They were happy to answer all of my questions and the two women that I met there were both so nice! Belinda, the owner, made me feel like my dog was in great hands. They sent me pictures multiple times of her playing ball (her favorite) and Raymie seemed happy and comfortable there when I went to pick her up. Pricing was fair as well! I will definitely continue to use Holy Paws for boarding!!

The Team at Holy Paws did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies. We went on an extended vacation and they treated our dogs like their own. They got a lot of attention spent time hanging out in the office, went outside several times a day got lots of loving in addition they sent us updates and pictures every couple of days. We cannot speak highly enough of their care and will definitely use them for all of our kenneling needs.

Belinda & her staff are wonderful! They truly made our fur baby comfortable & at ease during her stay. Including pics/ updates during our trip. We highly recommend Holy Paws. !!

Our pups are over seven years old and never spent a night away from home. We eased them into it by spending one night, then two and by the time they spent three nights they were very comfortable with the stay. Belinda and her team are great people and they really take the time to make our pups feel at home. My wife and I, like most dog lovers, are very protective of our dogs and particular of who we would let care for them. Holy Paws is hands down the best decision we've made for our dogs care!! The only reason I rated them at a 5 is because there was nothing higher!!!!

We can't rave enough about Belinda and her staff. We boarded our furry family member Myles with Holy Paws for a week in July. This was the 1st time we left Myles for any length of time since we rescued him from a shelter in December. Belinda took wonderful care of him and sent us many pictures of Myles at play while he was on "vacation". Being that Myles can be a bit reactive to other dogs Belinda assured us that there would not be any "play time" with the other dogs being kenneled and that the safety and well being of all the dogs in her care is her number 1 priority. When we picked up Myles we could tell that he was well loved while were gone. We will definitely use Holy Paws again!

I can't even begin to say enough wonderful things about Belinda, Madison and Olivia. Talk about going above and beyond ... wow. I'm almost hesitant to exclaim too much because I want them all to myself! My husband and I have been "dog people" all of our lives and we are very particular about the care of our pups - we went away for a week during Christmas break and had Holy Paws extended day stays. I was nervous about leaving them but thought they'd be better off in our home vs. a boarding place. I think Holy Paws took even better care of our pups than we do - they got lots of love and attentions - posed for great photos and were their happy selves. To make things more complicated .. our 15yr old needed care for his 4 reptiles - 2 lizards, 2 frogs and a tortoise. They took care of them too and even went out to get additional food when it ran out in the snow storm. Our flight was canceled and we ended up getting home almost 48 hours than we had planned. Belinda and her gals didn't miss a beat. I don't know how they did it all my I truly thank God for them!

I can’t say enough good things about Holy Paws! I have two large dogs and in past experiences they have come home stressed and shaking. We knew we needed to find a new boarding facility, and after meeting Belinda we knew our pups would be in good hands. We just returned from a 5 day trip and both of my dogs are acting like their usual selfs. I received multiple updates with pictures while on my trip which put my mind at ease. I don’t think we will board anywhere else from here on out!

After a tough experience with a nearby Kennel, we found Belinda and Holy Paws. From reading reviews and seeing the website with Belinda's story we believed Holy Paws would be a great fit for Lira (our Lagotto Romagnolo) while on vacation. When we met Belinda you could immediate feel that caring for dogs was deep in Belinda's heart. They have a total service orientation and will also help at your home while caring for your dog if doing in home care. We are blessed to have found Belinda/Holy Paws and are now much more at ease when we need additional care for Lira. Also, Wendy who did much of our in-service was excellent and was a reflection of Belinda!

Holy Paws (Belinda, Madison, and Olivia) watched our 1 year old puppy, Apollo, for two weeks while we were in a family vacation to Greece. All of our family were extremely satisfied with the incredible service they provided. Their effort and dedication to providing Apollo with the best care possible ranged from purchasing him another ball when his broke and getting him a doggy swim pool to cool off during the hot days (which he loved)! They also made sure to provide us with videos and pictures of him every time they went to visit, so that we could stay calm knowing he was in good hands. I am very grateful for the decision we made choosing Holy Paws to take care of Apollo. Their dedication, attention, and love for what they do is unlike any other service around. We have already secured our spot for the winter! I cannot thank them enough! - Colalillo Family

Having just entered a non assisted living with my two dogs I found them unable to cope with all the different sights and sounds. I requested the help of Holy Paws. I was interviewed by Belinda who was totally atuned to their problems. She walked them and very soon they were calmer. After each outing I would get a bulletin of how they did, along with pictures. I am delighted with the service ¹

I love The Fetchington! The staff truly treat your pets as their own. When I’m traveling- in particular for an extended period of time- I know I can leave my pooches there and not worry! The photo updates help with missing them. Highly recommend!!

Whenever I say to my Goldendoogle, do you want to go to Fetchington, he gets so excited and is ready to go immediately. I often tell people it is like doggie Disney World. The Team at the Fetchington is outstanding; I know when I drop Herbie off he will be well taken care of and given an opportunity to interact and play with other dogs. I absolutely love the structure the team maintains as it is a great mix of play, rest, feeding & sleep. Finally, I don’t how the Fetch Team does it, but they get some awesome photos that can be reused in your Christmas cards 😊.

Our dogs had a wonderful stay at Fetchington. They are both small terriers that were rescued out of situations of abuse. The staff at Fetchington was wonderful. I had some strange instructions for them like never pick them up, etc. and they did everything I asked for and more. They updated me through texts and put my mind at ease. I could tell that they really enjoyed having the pups there as well. Usually when I get the dogs back from a boarding facility, they are nervous wrecks for the first couple of days, won’t eat, won’t sleep, etc. They came home so happy and healthy from Fetchington. we will be lifelong customers.

Love everything about The Fetchington for boarding our two spoiled pups! They post adorable daily pictures, accommodate our feeding and medication requirements, and best of all … they give a lot of love!

Our dog attends daycare at the Fetchington and when we are out of town she has extended stays here. We all love the Fetch! Our girl loves to play outside with all her friends and is exhausted at the end of her daycare day… just the way we like it!! All the workers are top-notch and love all the dogs in their care. We love it so much and trust the Fetchington to take care of our girl so much that we schedule our trips around the availability of a suite for our girl. I can’t imagine putting our girl anywhere else when we are out of town! They are the BEST!!

I have two older Havanese that were not socialized properly when they were younger. They are not the best around people they do not know. I was very nervous about taking them for the first time last year. I had never boarded them before. The staff was very helpful and informative, and took such great care of my babies! When I came to pick them up three days later, they did not want to come home with me! I wouldn’t consider taking my dogs anywhere else! They have since been overnight on one other occasion and have a couple reservations coming up. I don’t even hesitate anymore!

The Fetchington Pet Hotel is the perfect home away from home for you dog! Our dog Chevy goes to doggie daycare there twice a month and he is a guest at the hotel when we go out of town. The owners (Tonia and Josh) are incredible. They are welcoming, accommodating and have put their heart and soul into making the Fetchington the premier place for dogs! The staff treats your pets like their own, they always have smiles on the faces and you can tell they love what they do. Follow them on Facebook and you will see that they capture all their guests daily with fun pics so when you are away from your pet, you get to see all the fun! I highly recommend The Fetchington!

My pup loves going to daycare at the Fetchington! I love that when I board her I know she’s in great hands with Tonia and her staff of wonderful people.

Absolutely the best! We haven’t boarded our dogs in several years so we were nervous about having to board them. This place was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs were loved and had so much fun. Seeing pictures daily of them having fun and spending time with the other dogs made our day. Highly recommend The Fetchington!

Fetchington watched my 2 dogs for 11 days. My dogs have never been boarded or went to a dog park as they have always been watched in my home. I’d give them a 10 rating if possible! From working with me and them on a few day stays to get them used to it to making sure they could stay in a suite the entire time, their focus was to make sure the dogs were happy and comfortable! I have nothing but high praise for how they run the business and keep us informed. And if you’re worried about not having live feeds to your pups, don’t worry at all! They post daily pictures of the dogs and available any time I’d you have questions! My dogs came home healthy and happy! Highly recommend!

The facility is so clean and nice! I appreciate the access to the cameras to see how the dogs are doing. But, the best part about Camp Bow Wow is the incredible care they give to the dogs. My dogs love enrichment days and I love the pictures from enrichment days! Could not recommend more highly

we love Camp Bow Wow!! love that our puppy isn't cooped up in a crate all day. also love that they have both indoor and outdoor play areas. the staff is great. and you can check in on your pup any time via the webcams.

I love how excellent they were with my dog yesterday. All the girls there loved her and told me anytime I needed/wanted to bring her back to please do. Jessica R. gave me the 2 pictures I added. My dog did day camp while my mom and I went to the zoo. We were in Cincinnati to pick up my daughter's dog that was flying in from Hawaii.

LOVE camp bow wow. The staff and overall environment is so welcoming and my pup had the best time ❤️ Can’t wait to take him for is next mini vacation!

Had a pretty disappointing experience with Camp Bow Wow. We have never had any behavior problems with our dog. In fact, she has passed her training program and holds a certificate to visit schools and nursing homes. She also plays well at dog parks and has never been part of a fight (which break out often there with other dogs). We wanted a place for her to be able to play with other dogs on days where we were both at the office, Camp Bow Wow seemed like a perfect fit. My dog had passed all of their temperament tests and had been to visit there many times (6 or 7) without incident or anything noted about her behavior. Then we asked for a grooming appointment, and the groomer called us to say that she could not complete the grooming. I understand that things happen, but the groomer was rather rude on the phone call, and seemed to doubt that she had been fine with other groomers. I didn’t think much about it, but every time we dropped her off after that interaction with the groomer we received phone calls about her behavior. We had never had problems with this before, so we watched her on the puppy cams to check her behavior. While watching her play we did solve one mystery, she would come home very wet some days, and we saw her being sprayed by team members when doing nothing more than walking past them. Our dog did not seem bothered by it and she loved playing with the dogs so we didn’t say anything. Today they told us that she was no longer allowed at Camp Bow Wow. Nothing had happened, no fight or anything like that, just not welcome. I would understand if there had been some sort of inciting incident, but there was none. From what we could see, our dog was being a puppy who wanted to play. It seemed unnecessary to spray her with a spray bottle constantly, which we would see happening. Bow Wow‘s slogan is “where a dog can be a dog.” Apparently not.

I have been taking Roscoe and CeeCee to Camp BowWow for years and Marco had his first visit/interview today. He did wonderfully, of course. I love being able to my furbabies via webcams on the app as they meet, great and play with new friends. For my healthcare traveler friends.this a national chain so we have lots of options for our furbabies.

Wonderful facility for your pups! Mine had a blast and I loved that you can seen them on the live feed cameras

Our dog loves going to Camp Bow Wow for boarding! She gets to play with all of the other dogs at Day Care during the day and we love being able to see how much fun she is having via the webcams. The facilities are clean and the staff are all friendly. We feel fortunate to have found a place we can trust while we are out of town.

My dog LOVES Camp Bow Wow. We encountered a lot of issues with our previous doggy daycare. Camp Bow Wow's staff, on the other hand, has been exceptionally kind and professional. The facility is clean, and the dogs are healthy. Highly Recommend.

As someone who recently became the proud owner of an adorable puppy, I wholeheartedly endorse Camp Bow Wow as an excellent choice for their care. The team there is incredibly friendly and genuinely committed to ensuring your dog's well-being. I have complete peace of mind when leaving my Hammy at Camp Bow Wow, knowing that he is in good hands. Every time he returns home, he is not only happy but also enjoys the most restful sleep.

I had a wonderful experience at the Daily Pet Lodge! Keith went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, getting me in for a last-minute appointment to clip my dog's nails. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and gentle with my puppy, making the experience stress-free for both of us. I highly recommend Keith and the Daily Pet Lodge for their exceptional service and care for pets. We'll definitely be returning!

Just picked my dog up from Daily Pet Lodge on Pippin road. This is the best groom he’s ever gotten and he isn’t an anxious mess after. He’s calm , happy & beautiful !! Great pricing too. Call Keith !

Nice friendly staff. Keith did a great job grooming my dog, had him looking handsome and clean. Definitely recommend you give them a try and support a small business owner who treats your pet like family and not just a number.

The facility itself is a doggy paradise! It's impeccably clean, spacious, and filled with toys and amenities that keep the pups entertained and engaged. The indoor play areas are well-designed, and the outdoor spaces are secure and perfect for exercise. My dog absolutely adores the playtime and socialization with other friendly dogs. Could not be more happy that I chose Daily Pet Lodge, highly recommend!

I always go to Daily Pet Lodge for my dog sitting and dog boarding needs. From our very first meeting l could tell Richard had the patience and personality to care for my hyper pup, Trevor. They hit it off from the start. He cared for my pup while I was out of town for a week and was very thoughtful to send me videos of my pup playing and having fun. The Daily Pet Lodge is trustworthy and reliable and leaving my pup with them gave me the peace of mind l needed to go on my trip.

Exceptional care and love for our furbabies! The staff at this dog facility goes above and beyond to create a safe and joyful environment. The facilities are clean, and the attention to individual pet needs is truly commendable. Layla ane Rufus always comes back happy and well-exercised. Highly recommend this top-notch facility for anyone seeking the best for their beloved pets!

Keith and the staff have been AMAZING! I am so grateful that I found this wonderful place! From grooming, to boarding, Zeus and I are BEYOND pleased 🙏🏾 Thank you 💙

I am so glad I was referred to Keith a year ago! He's so good with my dog when she comes in for grooming. It's a 40 minute round trip, but worth it.

Samson had his spa day today. Thanks Keith he looks great.

Absolutely love bringing my boys to the Daily Pet Lodge! They love Keith! And always look so handsome after their visits 😃 …
