Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.

Tammy was amazing! We were out of town for our wedding and honeymoon, I was honestly stressed because I had not been apart long term from my two cats since I adopted them as kittens. Tammy made that stress go away with her wonderful service. She followed my instructions, checked on my cats twice a day which I opted for, always sent me text and photo updates every time she stopped by. Definitely would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
I am a very protective bird parent. My cockatiel, Skittles, and my parakeet, Starburst, have only ever been taken care of by me and my immediate family, so when my husband and I were due to get married over Memorial Day weekend, I was very stressed about finding someone whom I could trust to watch over them. I knew boarding services were an option, but I hated the idea of removing Skittles and Starburst from the comfort of their home and putting them in a new environment: I needed someone who could visit my home and care for them like how my family and I do every day. So when I heard about Tammy, her pet sitting business, and how she cares for her own bird, Tango, I knew she was going to be a great fit. Tammy and I worked out a deal where she would get the birds up in the morning, go take care of other clients during the day, come back in the afternoon to hangout with them, put them to bed in the evening and then stay overnight in the guest bedroom. Every morning, Tammy would give them fresh water and veggies, turn on the TV to the sounds of nature, and send me pictures with stories about how they were doing. Hearing that Skittles played peek-a-boo with Tammy for 15 minutes straight was heartwarming, and seeing a video of it was proof enough that the birds were comfortable with her. She was diligent with her work, kept the home tidy and clean, and when I was having issues paying her on Memorial Day, Tammy was kind enough to let me pay her the following day. All in all, Tammy did a wonderful job and I can’t recommend her enough for all types of pets, whether it be dogs, cats, or even little birds! I look forward to working with her in the future!
I reached out to Tammy because of her amazing reviews, and I'm so glad I did! Her kind heart and love for animals is clear from the moment you speak with her. She checked on our two cats daily while we were on vacation and sent photos with a sweet update every time she was there. We were in the process of moving and didn't have a broom at our house, so she brought her own to sweep up kitty litter! Rocky and Apollo look forward to hanging out with Tammy again during future vacations. 😻
If you have to leave your pet, it is so reassuring to know there are options to leave home with your pet safe because of Tammy. We have tried other traditional approaches to pet care, and now that we have Tammy, we know exactly where we will go first every single time. She is the most attentive pet caregiver, sending constant updates and photos, it was like we were home on vacation. We couldn’t be more grateful for her care and love to our Hoz. 🐾💙
Tammy was an awesome sitter for our kitties, so kind & kept us updated everyday how they were doing. She is a very highly recommended sitter for your furry family members!!
Tammy is the BEST pet sitter I’ve ever had! She makes leaving my fur babies that much easier. I never worry about them when Tammy is caring for them. They get all the love, food, and attention they want! I was even delayed a day due to weather and flight cancellations, and Tammy came on an unscheduled day! She loves all animals and it shows! Highly recommend!
Tammy was everything you would want in a professional pet sitter. She was responsive, dependable and respectful of the pets’ directions. She took time to send pictures of the pets and gave updates. It is obvious she loves animals. I would highly recommend.
Tammy is wonderful. Great energy and super kind. She came over for a meet and greet/free consultation prior to watching my two cats and they both quickly warmed up to her. This really surprised me because one of them is pretty shy and doesn't warm up to other people all that easily. I could tell they would be in great hands! She sent me photos and updates while I was away, and I will definitely be contacting her again the next time I travel.
Tammy has been amazing with our pets! We are so lucky to have found her! She has been very accommodating fitting us into her schedule, even when it's been kind of last minute. From the first time we met Tammy, we could see that she loved animals, and that has been evident from the way she has cared for ours. Our shy bunny warmed up to her very quickly, which is a testament to how sweet she is to them. We can't say enough positive things about our experience with her so far. If you are looking for someone who will truly care for your pets as if they were her own, we highly recommend you contact Tammy!
Paw Sensitive is an incredible & reliably company to hire for pet sitting. My dog is a bit shy at first but felt so comfortable with Tammy. She stayed in my house and I arrived home to a clean house and a very content and happy pet. I will never think twice about who I invite in my house to take care of my dog. The decision will always be Paw Sensitive and I highly recommend this company to take care of your precious pet(s).
max loves going to get his hair cut and seeing the crew ar Bailey’s! most who know max know he doesn’t love much! but all i have to say is let’s get your hair done and he is ready to go every time. thanks guys for making his day!!!
The receptionists up front know my dog and I by name and get so excited to welcome him for daycare! He loves going in. They also monitor and work well with shy dogs and make sure to relocate them to smaller rooms/“dinky daycare” if they believe it’s what the dog needs. I Always trust them with my best buddy’s needs and health.
Firstly, I want to mention that our puppy is fully potty trained and typically sleeps through the night without issue. However, when my husband picked him up on his first day at Bailey's, our puppy immediately urinated indoors for an extended period. This was concerning, as it suggests that he may not have been given sufficient opportunities to relieve himself during the day. Additionally, despite providing food and informing the staff to feed him at noon, we were told upon pickup that our puppy was "uninterested" in eating. However, none of the food we provided had been touched, which raises questions about whether proper care and attention were given to his feeding. I also had a few questions during our puppy's stay and attempted to contact Bailey's by phone. Unfortunately, both times I called, the calls were answered by an answering service, seemingly outsourced, that was not located on-site. The individuals I spoke with were unable to provide any helpful information and referred to the report card as a "postcard," which was quite confusing. When I tried to provide feedback via email, I used the email address listed on your website, only to have the message bounce back with the reason: "Address not found." This suggests that the contact information provided on your site may be outdated or incorrect. We were initially told that we would receive a report card on the same day detailing how our puppy's day went, but it did not arrive until the following day. When we finally received a video, it showed our young puppy interacting with adult dogs who did not seem interested in playing with him. We observed several instances where our puppy appeared nervous as the other dogs crowded around him. In response, staff used a spray bottle as a form of punishment, which is a method that can potentially create fear and aggression in dogs. Additionally, during the video, one of the employees was heard saying "Beat him" (or possibly "Eat him") twice to another dog that our puppy was attempting to play with, which was quite disturbing. Overall, our experience at Bailey's was disappointing, and we are concerned about the care and environment provided to our puppy during his stay. Based on this experience, we will not be returning to Bailey's in the future.
Baileys staff is very caring for pets and their parents. The report card thoroughly described Gracie’s visit!
Love Baileys daycare and grooming! We have been taking our Husky Jamison to daycare since he was a pup!! They always remember him and are excited to see all the fur babies! Our old groomer stoped taking big dogs sadly! But we loved Baileys groomer! It was cheap in my eyes but she did amazing!!! We love Baileys highly recommend!!
We can drop in for a quick nail trim and know we will receive excellent customer service! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
We had our dog Lexi boarded and groomed. She seemed well taken care of but whoever did her grooming did a FANTASTIC job. She is double coated and it’s been almost a month and there still isn’t much to comb out. Kudos to your team!!
We took advantage of the in-home petsitting option while away for 2 weeks for our honeymoon. Very professional - they come to your place for a bit of a tour, get all the pet info, pick up the key & then it's pretty worry free! We got a couple photo updates during & were able to pass messages to the petsitter through Bailey's. Very professional, very affordable & experienced with medicating pets. We'll definitely consider them again for any extended time away!
We were looking for an in home visits for our cats and called Bailey’s. They showed up on time and took down all the relevant info including somethings we never thought of. Where are the cat carriers, what vet do you use in case of accidents. We feel good about leaving our cats in Bailey’s care.
Daisy had her first full haircut at Bailey's yesterday and we are very happy with the way she turned out. Isn't she just adorable? Everyone was super nice and we will definitely be back!
My puppy really loved going to WOOF! The staff is friendly, and I appreciate that they have a separate yard for small breeds. However, I wish they had an app or online reservation service. It's really inconvenient to call them every time I need to make a reservation, especially as a foreigner whose first language is not English. This might not be a problem for others, but it is for me. When she was younger and not familiar with other people and furry friends, WOOF really helped her socialize. Although I couldn't see how she was doing there due to the secured playground and the lack of videos or photos, it seemed they treated her very well. She would wag her tail and even pee with excitement when she saw the WOOF staff, which she had never done before! I'm not sending her to WOOF right now because of the hot weather and because I prefer spending fun time with her myself. However, I will be a loyal customer when the semester starts and if they open an online service. Overall, even though it's a bit disappointing that there's no online reservation system and no way to see how she spent her day, I really like their kind staff and environment.
Knoxville Loves going to Woof!!! He comes home tired and content. The socialization this gives him is Amazing
We brought our dog here when she had some very concerning stomach issues while we were in Lincoln on vacation (we live in Indiana). They were very busy and we had a long wait to be seen, but once we were in the exam room the vet was very thorough, asked a lot of questions, and listened to our explanations and concerns. All of the staff were kind and gentle with our nervous dog, and the final bill was far less expensive than we were expecting, even with x-rays and blood work. We were very thankful that our dog was able to get emergency treatment without the emergency pricetag.
I have been taken my puppy Motley there since he was able to go and they have been nothing short of amazing! The staff is great and very caring. I decided to do the 6 week puppy training since motley was familiar with the building and staff and it was definitely the right decision. I can tell they work with him and his training even when he’s at daycare, I picked him up last week and he just knew how to shake!! They will even send him home with new toys or treat bags or coupons for nail trims! We are so appreciative of Woof! I HIGHLY recommend them!
I just got off the phone with Bree and she is amazing. Amazing customer service made me feel really welcomed. I can’t wait to bring my pup there soon. I called another boarding facility and they were extremely rude to me on the phone and told me they didn’t except anybody from Omaha so having this phone call just made my day thank you again and I can’t wait to bring my pup here
I boarded my 2 huskies (1 an escape artist) for a week and could definitely say the staff took good care of them. I am currently in the middle of planning a 3 week trip and I already know who to go to! I highly recommend them!!!!
We toured Woof while looking for a new place to board our corgi, and were so impressed with the facility. Very clean throughout, roomy kennels, and lots of indoor and outdoor play areas. The day we brought our dog in for boarding, the staff at Woof were so kind and helpful. They are all very knowledgeable about dogs and you can tell they really care about them. It's always hard leaving our little buddy behind when we take trips, but I left Woof reassured he was in good hands. So glad we've found our new go-to boarding service!
I have a new family pet. She is 4 1/2 months old. In preparation for vacations, we took her into Woof Doggy Day Center for an evaluation for overnight stays. My husband dropped her off at 12, noon and was advised to pick her up at 3:00pm. The manager told him when he picked her up that there was a "miscommunication." She had not been evaluated. Instead she was placed in a holding room and forgotten. No one checked on her while we were gone; no one entered the room until he came to pick her up. This is a doggy day care center. If this is an indication of how they care for animals, I strongly advise to never trust this center with your pets.
We were just visiting the vet in the same building, but I walked back and watched the K-9's playing in the indoor play rooms (hot day). They were having a ball! Ten or fifteen dogs in each room were carousing like they were at the local dog park. The Burmese poodle mix was adorable.
I boarded my French Bulldog for 3 days and am very pleased with the service that I received and the care of my dog. He went outside several times a day and even had an hour of play time outside daily as part of the basic charge. He was definitely happier and less stressed than when I have taken him other places that don't have "outdoor" time or space available. Thanks to the great staff at Woof!
My dog is turning 4 on April 18th and has been routinely taking classes with Dian since she was a puppy. She is the real deal! Dian has helped us make so much progress over the years. They provide a huge variety of classes all throughout the day and evening. Additionally, their membership option gives you classes at a hugely discounted rate and access to privately rent their facilities for very low prices (something like $3/hr). My dogs love playing with their "outside toys" in the huge agility yard!
We ❤️❤️❤️ Kennl Inn. The staff are amazing — knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Mozzie is always a happy little guy whether I’m dropping him off or picking him up. And their training team, Diane, Rae and Echo, have taught me so much. Made me a better pet parent!!!
Sophie has stayed at Kenl Inn often, day care or if I’m out of town. This was a 4 day stay. I asked that her “caregivers” specifically note how well she seems to see and hear. No notes mentioned at all on her daily note reports. Some comments were so general, it seemed as if someone just filled out a few forms and had nothing to do with my dog. “Sophie loves pool season” tells me nothing. Two days said “it was a good day to be in the yard”. One day nothing was filled out except “complimentary sundae” without Sophie’s name and no concierge name or initial. I paid $60/day and expect better service. I have no idea if she received decent care. Sophie stays in a suite. She’s nearly 12 and not used to lots of dogs.
I am currently using their obedience classes for my pup. I am very impressed with the trainer and the facility and cleanliness of the facility. We will definitely be using Kenl Inn and their services again.
We have been bringing our 7 yr German Shepard Husky girl Mya for grooming and we will never go elsewhere. The team does an incredible job with deshedding and grooming. We can't say enough about the added services they provide with play time, nature hikes and just overall engagement with her. The boarding facilities are fantastic and when out of town we never worry about the care and attention she receives. The staff is always happy to see us, they do a wonderful job with communication. The super cute decorated dog cookies available are always going home with us too. Thanks for everything Kenl Inn!
My dogs love going here for grooming they always look so nice. Great day care if you need it and boarding too
We have used Kenl Inn for several years for both daycare and boarding for our schnoodle, Dusty. He always has a good time. The employees always take such good care of him. I would highly recommend Kenl Inn to anyone needing to board their dog or needing daycare
We love Kenl Inn. My pup gets excited when it’s daycare day! They are great for boarding and grooming as well.
We just moved back to Lincoln after being gone for 11yrs and we needed a daycare for our 6 month old fur baby. We have been very pleased with them and Rowan has been having lots of fun. When we turn down street that heads to Kenl Inn Rowan sits up in car and gets excited, I think he honestly knows when we turn on that street that is where we are going. He is very high energy and with going to doggy daycare it has helped burn that extra Puppy energy he has. Will definitely recommend and look forward to participating in some of their training classes soon. We also took our puppy to the dog park where it was really muddy and the next morning when we dropped him off for daycare they were able to get him for a grooming before we picked him up. He was very soft and smelled much better, highly recommend their groomer as well.
Did a field rent on a Sunday since most the time they don't really do daycare in the upstairs yard. Witch is what we needed for our dog reactive guy. It was worth the $7.39 for an hour of Letting him run around off leash and get his built up energy out.
We have been to Paws 4 Fun many times now to rent both the indoor and outdoor pools! The staff and manager are always extremely nice and accommodating with having toys, towels and life jackets! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fun activity for their pup, as they also have indoor play rooms you can personally rent as well!
A fun place to spend time with your dog. I'm so glad they sell Dogurt and have swimming pools indoors and outside. The staff are always friendly and helpful!
Paws 4 Fun is amazing! It's a wonderful place to bring your fur baby here to enjoy play time and all the extra services with your pup in mind! It's safe and loads of fun!
This place knows dogs! My maltipoo acclimated on day 1 and loved the attendants. Scott and his team trained our very strong pit bull mix rescue with a huge prey drive ( chases trucks and deer) to walk nicely without pulling: which was the goal! The play sessions allow him to get out his energy - and he has doggy friends!!!! This is a great place for dogs and their owners!!!
They always take excellent care of our dog. Able and willing to take last minute reservations. Friendly smiling and knowledgeable staff. Easy to book boarding and services from your phone.
Brought my beautiful 1 year old pure breed pit to this prison ONCE. I get a call saying he was in a “fight” but no marks nothing wrong. I get back theres a hole the size of a quarter, taken from his leg. He's been sick ever since i got him back from this dog prison. Some staff are cool but for the most part it looks like no one is actually doing there job. An yes he's gone to other places an was just fine had no problems an wasn't sick……. Dont see how you could possibly miss this……
Been going here for 2 years and they LOVE Caring for my Cavi, "SAVI"! SAVI Loves going to Paws 🐾 to see her Friends 🧡 She has a regular group she plays with and they are like her! They groom her when needed while she's there, and it's Affordable! …
***PET OWNERS BEWARE*** I am really disappointed with the quality of care provided for my dogs at this place. When I picked them up from boarding there for a week the first thing I noticed was how bad the building and my dogs smelled. I found lots of scratches and red areas like they had been bit and had been sleeping on concrete the whole time they were there. No one told me they had been hurt and now I’m having to take them to the vet they both have infected wounds and one has an abscess. No one responded to my calls or cared at all. Sad to think my pups were being taken care of and they were actually being neglected
5-20-24 1200 hours first time here 10 minutes into dog park area my dog got bit. The staff defended the dog saying that's just the way that dog is. Operations manager had approximately 4 hours to contact me but no effort was made until I notifed them I was filing a complaint with animal control. I recieved a call from the operations manager while I was at the animal control office. Do not take your pet here. This review would be negative stars if possible.
Always a great experience. Very reasonable pricing, in-house training, and knowledgeable staff. Rover loves it! Just say "daycare" and he starts shaking...lol
Scott has been with our family for 6-years. We have two dogs and two rabbits. Every work day in that time Scott has taken both Oliver and Scout for daily walks. Both our dogs love Scott, and he helps us ensure they get all the activity they need, as often our lives have things that preclude us from being able to take the pups on a mid-day walk. When we are on vacation, Scott also stops in to feed the bunnies and check on the house. Scott is a trusted person, we trust him with helping out our lives, we trust him with our home, and he delivers an unparalleled level of customer service. Would absolutely recommend. Scott is a professional you can trust.
We’ve had Critter Sitters walking our pups for more than 5 years now, and it’s been a fantastic service. The pups love their walks with Scott so much that even if we’re going to be home, we don’t bother canceling. Highly recommend.
Scott has been walking my Dobermans for twenty years. He built a relationship with my dogs and they look forward to seeing him. He walks on a regular basis and has also helped when I have been out of town. He is trustworthy and most importantly the dogs approved! I
I started using Critter Sitters in February 2024. I have really enjoyed the pet service. Scott has been friendly, accommodating and very responsible with my pets. I have an elderly dog who does not board well and is nervous around other dogs, so I wanted a home pet sitting service. I travel a lot and being able to leave my pets at home where they are more comfortable is such a piece of mind. I would suggest this service to anyone who prefers to leave their pets at home and to be cared for by a trusting pet sitting service while away. Melinda Booth
I recently had to leave my precious pup in Lincoln for almost 5 months while on an extended trip. During that time CritterSitters (Scott) and CritterClippers (Cassie) did a wonderful job taking care of her, with several walks each week and grooming every month or so. Scott and Cassie were gentle, caring and patient with little Sophie. They were also reliably on time/schedule and I could count on them to be there as planned. Always professional, reliable service - my pup couldn't have been happier and my mind was at ease knowing Scott and Cassie were on the job!
I know I am anxious to have Scott's. Service stop by ,hook the Boys up twice a week! , But the boys are. Beyond excited, they actually start watching and listening for him and off they go! Such an amazing service for so many years! Many Thanks!
I've used Critter Sitters now probably >5 times for all of my fur babies. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats. They've always done a great job, are professional and easy to communicate with. We were recently in FL and flight got cancelled due to hurricane Ian. I messaged Scott and he was able to continue service several more days until I could get back. Knowing my animals were being well cared for was a huge relief during an already stressful time. I highly recommend.
I have used Critter Sitters of Lincoln for at least 10 years. They take such good care of my kitties. I've been gone as long as two weeks and always come home to happy kitties, an orderly house and a daily diary of each visit. I know my babies are loved in my absence.
I had my dogs groomed with Critter Sitter. They showed up in a timely manner. My dog appeared happy before and after her grooming. The last time we had her groomed, I was asked where the second dog was immediately upon her arrival. My daughter was bringing her dog for a grooming but I assumed I was paying for my dog’s hour of grooming. The groomer told me she could do both dogs at the same time yet I was being billed for my dogs hour. This plus the price increase and not even getting a single bow or barrette or anything I thought was was less than I get with a different groomer.
They are awesome! I never have to worry if my pets are safe when we are away. It's great to be able to leave them in the comfort of our home and know that they're being taken care of. The sitters are great with our animals! :)
Stacy and Furbaby Boarding provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. Stacy’s daily updates and attention to detail, including accommodating other pets and ensuring safety and proper care, gave me peace of mind. With Stacy, you can trust your furbabies are in good hands. Highly recommended for worry-free vacations.
I can't say enough good things about Stacy and FurBaby Boarding. I got texts everyday while I was gone with pictures of what my pup had been up to. My trip was worry free because I knew my dog was in great hands. She loved playing with the other dogs and probably needs a vacation from my vacation. 😂. I've already booked her next stay!
We left our 10-year-old bulldog there for a two-night stay, and when we picked him up, we were horrified to find his entire underbody soaked and smelling strongly of urine. It was clear that his area hadn’t been cleaned properly, and it seemed he had to sit or lay in his own pee for at least a night. When we brought this up with the staff, they were not apologetic and offered no explanation as to how this could happen. This lack of accountability is alarming, especially when it comes to the care of our beloved pets. I’ve since tried to reach out via email and even called Polaris Veterinary Clinic to speak with the owners, but I’ve received no response. This level of neglect is unacceptable, and I cannot recommend Trude's Dog Motel based on our experience. Please think twice before leaving your furry friends here.
My dogs do not like being kenneled. However, Trude's is the only place I've found in Lincoln that they will settle into a routing, eat, and not be overly stressed. The rooms are large enough for both my dogs (German Shepherd & Doberman) to share. The staff takes extra care to help my dogs feel comfortable by spending time with them. There is a nice large yard area for them to run and play in as well. The rooms are indoor/outdoor and heated or cooled depending on the weather.
Tried this as the reviews generally looked good, but... I had my dog stay for 3 nights. On pickup he seemed reasonably happy (not lethargic, not overly yappy, just normal happy to see me) There were no visible issues, I've had him stay at other places before where he pawed at the door until his paws had some scratches, but not here. He does seem reasonably tired, as in he probably didn't sleep that much there, but that's also normal for him being away from me. The thing that bugs me is the day I picked him up, he went to pee right when we went outside, and he peed for about 3 mins, some of it was a tinkle, and some a stream, but just the amount of time he did that seemed extremely long, and it also seemed uncomfortable (the tinkle parts in between), he never had that issue before. Additionally, after we drove to the office, he took a huge dump (he's a big dog, and I needed 2 bags to get it all), which also took a long time... So, with that behavior, I have to conclude that he probably didn't get to poop yesterday, so for around 24h (normal is about 2-3 times a day), and he didn't get to pee for more than 12h (he is fine holding it for a long time, but there are limits), which then makes me question what the last time was he got to go for a walk... regardless that time must have been too long ago. There was another review talking about the same thing. I will add, that if your dog is fine doing it's business within their confined space, this may be a non issue, but for my dog that's not an option. Long story short, because of the lack of potty opportunities, this kennel will sadly be at the bottom of my list for future trips.
Our dog seemed to have a good time here. The rates were affordable and services very accommodating. The drop off and pickup were very easy and the location was minutes from our house on the way out of town for vacation. We'll definitely be back for when we want to board again.
From what I could tell Melissa was well taken care of...I know she is a handful
We arrived at 4:00 on Sunday, March 17 to pick up our dog because we had somewhere to be at 5:00. We waited for 20 minutes, along with about 10 others, for someone to come and open the kennel. Needless to say, we didn't make our event at 5:00. Very disappointed.
Very satisfied! First time I boarded our dogs here and they came home tired and healthy. I called daily to check on them, but realized I didn't need to do that, I would trust them with your dogs. Also VERY reasonable. Great employees. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love taking our Black Lab and Bulldog to Trudy's. They are always amazing there and our dogs never seem like they are stressed out or sick when we get them back. It's like they never noticed we were even gone because they get such good attention and have room.
Staff was very nice and seemed to really try and go above and beyond. what I did not realize is that the last time the dogs are taken outside for potty break is around 6-7pm. The next outside break is in the morning when the staff gets back in around 7am. That is just not acceptable to not have them outside for 12 hours. I asked about this and was told by the staff that most dogs end up using the bathroom in the run and they just clean it up in the morning. I immediately pulled my dog out of this location. The location did look clean and was a very generally dog boarding center with runs that were fenced in. Dogs were able to go inside and outside in their run.
Trude was awesome. She called all her dogs her babies. Haven’t been there for sometime now. Barney our St Bernard and Sam our schnauzer loved it. I liked that Trude made sure that all the dogs were up to date on their shots. The dogs always got excited when we turned into Trude’s dog Motel.
Took three of our cats there while we were out of town. The staff was very friendly and sent us pictures and updates. The cat room is set up very nicely and the cats had a great view of the outside. We will definitely be using them again!
We were told it be 24 a night to board our dog. We were told to pick him up between 4 pm and 6 pm on Sunday. When we picked him up the price went up to $75. They told us they charged for Sunday even though we picked him up on time. They said that is way they do it. We could not pick him up earlier because no one would be their. We will not use them again.
From the first time I kenneled Eva I knew That Wilderness Kennels would be her forever home away from home. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Henry is a top-notch trainer and the only change I would make is I wish i would have taken Eva to Henry to train her as a pup!!
Henry is awesome, our good girls love him! They were trained by him and love visiting!
We’ve taken our dogs here a few times and it’s been great! Very friendly family operation.
We love wilderness kennels! They have always been there to accommodate my animals even at shorter notice. My dogs always seem to come back super happy and well behaved!! They are so great with my fur babies !
We will never be taking our fur baby back to this establishment. We dropped her off on a Sunday, in which I indicated on the reservation request to drop off at 9am. I was never once informed that they did not open until 4pm on Sundays. We got there and were greeted by a rude young woman that stated they did not open until 4pm. When we dropped off our baby, we included 10 days of food and her food scoop and gave them her feeding schedule with amount at eat feeding. We returned in time to pick our babygirl up a day early. We received her two toys and the baggies that had her food in them. We did not get her food scoop back. In regard to her food, we gave them 10-days worth of food, she was there for 7-days. The additional 3 days of food disappeared along with her food scoop. She had visibly lost weight and was having explosive diarrhea. She acted as though her food scared her when we would feed her. She continued to have severe diarrhea for 4 days (we took her to the vet on day 4). On day three of the diarrhea she also began vomiting. The vet put her on multiple medications to help with the diarrhea and nausea. On the same day 4 we ended up at the emergency vet because she would not stop vomiting. How does a perfectly healthy, fully vaccinated 8-month old puppy spend a week boarded and comes home terribly sick and scared? What did they do to our baby girl? I understand stress from being boarded, but not for this long after being brought home. What did they feed her or allow her to get into that would have caused her to become so sick? Not only all of that, they over charged us and never gave us a copy of the final invoice. I had to call on the way home to tell them that I had been over charged. Their website indicated one price, but we were charged a different price for both the boarding fee and the extra playtime/one-on-one time we requested she be given. We are furious with them and will never go back, nor recommend that anyone take their animals to them. This experience has completely caused me to lose trust in any boarding facility and moving forward we will only ever use a dog/house sitter. Shame on them for whatever poor treatment our baby received. She is not the same puppy that we dropped off!
They were able to get our 2 fur babies in last minute for memorial day weekend. When we came to pick them up they smelled absolutely terrible and I was picking ticks out of them for a week. Yes, they were previously treated against fleas and ticks. Next time, we will go back to our normal kennels or we won't go on our trip. Much better care and friendlier staff at our other kennels for a better price.
I couldn’t say more great things about this place, very reasonable prices. go above and beyond for your dog and always work with you. Staff is very friendly. My dogs absolutely love it here and always come back smelling great. Will be using them from here on out. Great place!!
Our family dog died here. She was a Great Pyrenees left here for almost a week in the summer. She was left in an outside kennel on one of the hottest weeks of that summer. They had claimed to brought her into an indoor kennel at the end of her stay. When they returned to work the following morning she wasn’t alive anymore. When questioned they claimed it was from too much stress… don’t you think if they knew that was the cause they would’ve done something more about it? Please please please do your research about who you leave your dogs with. Pay extra for them to stay with a loving person.
