Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Most of the employees are nice and love my dog but the manager is extremely rude.Several times the staff gave us various times for drop off and, after calling to make sure, an employee said I had a window in which to drop off my dog. Upon arrival the next day the manager told me "this was not what was communicated to you" - basically calling my husband and I liars, wouldn't take my dog for the day (because I was 13 minutes late, although within the window I was given the previous day), and said she was doing us a favor by "accommodating" our dog.I acknowledged that I had missed the cut-off time, and understood she couldn't accept him that day, but disagreed with her about what had "been communicated to me." If she and her staff had made it clear that I must arrive by 10 am, then obviously I would have done so and not at 10:13.I am not unreasonable nor am I stupid.I can tell time and I don't expect special treatment.I said I'd like to talk to the owner and asked for their name, so I would know who I would be talking to, and she said she was "unable to disclose that information."And then she said she was finished arguing with me and walked away.Who treats customers like that?The owner of the business is a secret?We spend thousand of dollars a year here in day care and boarding.I deserve to be treated respectfully, have my questions answered and receive clear, consistent communication.I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and do do not recommend this place, solely on the consistently appalling treatment we, as paying customers, have received from this manager.I will not be so indiscreet as to name her but the owners need to know she is driving customers away.
We have nothing but praise for Mountain View Play and Stay. We use them both for boarding and daycare/socialization. The staff members go above and beyond to help our (sometimes quite nervous) dog have good experiences. The regular, controlled socialization has made a very positive difference in our dog's demeanor and sense of well-being around other dogs. We also appreciate the thorough screening procedure, the attention to detail regarding health records, and the friendliness of the staff towards us humans us well. 5-star for sure!
My little miss marigold loves her daycare days here. I also appreciate the occasional pictures they take since they don't have live cams to watch your pup playing.
My dog loved his stay - they sent pictures of him on the second or third day showing him playing outside. His tail was up and he was racing around. So glad we found a new home away from home for our beloved little chihwienie.
Staff is very kind and interested in the comfortability of your dog. Prices are very competitive for their boarding service and it's veterinarian owned. If anything is to happen the vet clinic is right next door! Will never be using Rover again.
These folks are one of a kind! If you want a safe, fun, loving and comfortable home away from home for your puppies this is where they belong. All the staff were so pleasant to work with, reasonable, and particularly accommodating to all our pups needs. We had an extended boarding need due to the emergency situation at our home. We were temporarily displaced as a result and it was stressful for everyone except for our dogs thanks to Mountain View. Savannah and Autumn were particularly amazing members of the staff! Olive and Smokey forever love you guys!
Love, love, love this place! Pam and her staff are wonderful, patient, kind and loving with our dog, Mac. He gets so excited that his whole body shakes when we ask him if he wants to go see "friends". He knows that means going to Mountain View Play and Stay for a day of fun or for boarding. The staff works hard to assess each dog's personality and compatibility to ensure that all the dogs have constructive and positive interactions with the other dogs. We also appreciate that they have been keenly observant and have pointed out some minor health issues with our dog that may have gone unnoticed by us. We really can't say enough good things about this place. My husband and I highly recommend them.
I have been taking my dog to Mt. View Play and Stay since he was 4 months and he is now 2 years old. The staff take an keen interest in the dogs and how they interact with each other. I can just call the same day and ask if there is room and they say “bring him in”. They have adapted well to the coronavirus and now come to the car to pick him up. Staff members are positive and definitely love dogs. My dog loves going to doggie daycare!!
Mt View has extremely compassionate, well trained people who happen to love dogs. My dog nearly jumps out the car window when we pull into the driveway. The staff are very transparent and excel at communication with the owner. They are fantastic!
This is what the dogs say Bark bark, sniffle scratch, bark wper turn circle and chase tails. Our dogs love the place and playing with their friends
Susie's is absolutely amazing! Our Kono loves it there! Everyone there is so sweet and take such wonderful care of our little princess. Drop off and pick up is easy and smooth. She was excited to see us but didn't want to leave either! I highly recommend Susie's I'd give a 10 if I could!
I'd never boarded my dogs before. I always had house sitters. I tried Susie's and I was pleased. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and didn't smell. When I took them back the second time they seemed happy to be there, so obviously no hard feelings from before. The folks were easy to work with and the check in, check out process was smooth. Nice job folks!
I was helping friends while they were on vacation in Greece. I had to pick up and drop off Barnum, their dog, several times. The staff that work here are so wonderful. You can tell right away how much they love all the pets. I would definitely recommend Susie's and if I had a pet I would not take it anywhere else. You guys are the best.
If I were a dog, I would want my owner to board me at Susie's. Joking aside, I've used Susie's to look after my 3 dogs many times over the last couple of years and have had a consistently excellent experience. I have no doubt how much the people who work there love animals, it shows, and it gives me total peace of mind leaving my boys with them. Additionally, they are wonderful people, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.
Greatest place and group of folks in the world. If you want a great safe place for your pet to stay at look no further! Absolutely love this place. Suzie, Bobby and Sarah are awesome!
This is the only boarding facility where I wasn’t worried about the well-being of my 3 pups while I was away. Adorable and thought setup. Friendly owner. Extra clean facility. Fair prices. The only kennel we’ll use in Vancouver. Make sure you book early- they are popular and space is hard to come by!
This place deserves all of the awards it can get. And so do the people. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else. Susie’s Country Inn is amazing.
I NEVER leave my dog! However I had to board him for several days & I'm so fortunate a friend told me about Susie's. Welcoming, clean, wonderful staff, excellent care of my baby and reasonably priced. Years ago I had a bad experience leaving my dog so I am very critical of any facility. Susie's ticks all the boxes. You can safely entrust your fur baby to their care.
Susie is a fantastic trainer and she runs an excellent, clean facility that cares about you and your dogs. We have had to leave town fairly frequently and Susie has been dependable, her staff is friendly, the drop-off process is thoughtful and clear. I can't say enough about the facility itself; it has a great vibe. It's welcoming and professional. I know my pets are safe. We feel so very fortunate to have Susie and her team to care for our pets when life takes us out of town. Would recommend, thank you.
Susie's is a great place to board your pet. They are so kind! It's always a good sign when your fur friend is pulling you across the parking lot to go inside. We love these guys and have had nothing but positive experiences.
This was my first boarding experience ever and I was thoroughly impressed with everything. Jeff was an absolute delight to talk to and work with and the facilities are absolutely beautiful! I was very nervous about boarding my baby and Jeff was so kind and helped me feel at ease with the whole process. He even sent me update pics! I could tell she was really enjoying her stay and even though she was definitely excited to see me when I picked her up I could tell she had such a good time here! Will 100% come back if I need to board her again!
I was really grateful that they were able to book me for Thanksgiving of all times within just a couple of (normally, you have to do that a couple months in advance at least), And the staff was extremely kind. The prices were reasonable, and they appeared to do everything they could to make sure that both my cat and dog were happy and comfortable the whole time. Neither my cat nor my dog were stressed out when I picked them up and brought them home, and that’s always a concern when you leave your pets anywhere, really. So thank you for everything this past week!
Waldorf Kennels really helped us out of a bind - a last minute Thanksgiving boarding for our two pups. Jeff, the owner, was great! Our dogs came home happy and I know that they were well taken care of!
My pup Kira has been going to Waldorf kennels for about 3 weeks and before her visits there, she could not walk on a leash. Not only Is she walking on a leash without trying to get away, she’s safely walking with my daughter. I cannot recommend Waldorf kennels enough. Jeff the owner really cares about each pup and takes his time to make you and yours fur baby feel loved and taken care of.
We cannot say thank you enough to Jeff and the Waldorf Kennels. We have a German Shepherd that is 1.5 yrs old (unaltered) and a Rhodesian Ridgeback who is 6 yrs old (altered). They spent 6 nights being boarded, with extra play time each day, and a 1:1 training session with Jeff for our Shepherd. When we returned from vacation, they were walking better on leash, and you could tell how well taken care of they were. Happy and tired. We had 1 additonal training session all together today as well. Jeff's obedience training, knowledge, and advice was above and beyond, anything we've been given before. Our dogs were so receptive to him, especially the Shepherd. Jeff is calm, confident, and is in control. We're looking forward to continuing the training he's given and immediately saw a huge improvement. Not to mention how beautiful the property is! Jeff, Ian and I are so grateful to have met you, and thank you tremendously for all of your help!
Our pups first experience staying at a boarding facility and we felt instantly at ease when we toured the place. I knew she would be well taken care of. I was so happy to receive updates and pictures from them, during her stay! She was a happy dog when we returned and I think she enjoyed her time on the agility course too. Thank you, Waldorf Kennels!
The only place we’ll board our dogs going forward! My wife and I went on an extended vacation and had to board our three dogs. Jeff and his staff set our minds at ease with their level of care for them. Jeff even went out of his way to send us updates!
We take our dog Cody boarding here whenever we go out of town. Jeff and his team treat our dog with such care and we know he is in great hands. The morning I came to pick him up Jeff was out walking my dog and I could tell my dog trusted and liked Jeff. A bonus - the landscaping is absolutely beautiful :) Do not hesitate to take your dog here!
Jeff and team are amazing! The only place in town we trust to take care of our German Shepherds. Most Kennels simply aren’t confident handling big dogs, but Jeff goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs are taken care of when they stay here. Highly recommend to anyone in the greater Vancouver area!
Having worked at Waldorf Kennels many years ago, I knew the services would be top notch. However, I also wasn't a dog owner back then. So nothing could have prepared me for how overprotective and nervous I was leaving our two pups for 10 days with expected inclement weather! Jeff put me and my husband at ease with a get-to-know-you visit a week before we left. He showed me the improvements that were made since I had last worked there, but more importantly, he took the time to walk both of my dogs individually and asked all of the questions that made me feel like he really would give them the best care. While we were away he sent photos of them in the fenced play area (I've included one with my review) and when we picked them up on the iciest day of the year, they were warm, happy, and healthy. We added baths for the day of pick-up, and the kennel staff made sure their coats were completely dry after bathing them since it was so chilly outside. Highly recommend this add-on! Quick profile: My dogs are Dogo Argentinos, the male is 100 lbs and the female is not far behind. They were just fixed at 19 months old and boarded at 20 months! They are highly active have a high prey drive, and they are incredibly loyal and protective. Some people are not used to working dogs with these traits, so they can be intimidated, which leads to our dogs getting labeled as aggressive. Jeff is familiar with all breeds and has a lot of experience with high performing training practices, so our dogs did very well during their stay. Overall, I highly recommend Waldorf Kennels and know you won't be disappointed choosing them the next time you need boarding.
If you're looking for an alternative to the impersonal experience of using an app to find a random pet sitter - I can't recommend Leave It To Shoo! highly enough. She's easy to set up with (just 1 short visit to determine pet needs) and very communicative while you're away - provides daily updates and pictures of your pets. (Examples pictured) My pets were loved and taken care of by Shoo while I was away - and that's all than you can ask for!
We have had the best experience possible with Leave it to Shoo for the past 3 years. It is such peace of mind to know that our cat is being so well taken care of while we are away. Shoo has the key to our home on a permanent basis; we trust her implicitly. She always either answers her phone or gets back right away when we need to book her. She never has a problem working us into her schedule. Shoo brings in the mail, makes sure the house is secure, and always leaves a note and extra food and water for our cat on the last day. The litter box and surrounding area are kept immaculate. We can tell that Olaf has had a great time while we are gone because he is not vocal or clinging when we get back! They play together and Shoo gives him lots of love. We have no hesitation recommending Leave it to Shoo for in-home pet care!
Sharon was absolutely wonderful with all our animals (fish, parrot, cats, dog)! She sent us daily pictures and updates on how everybody was doing while my family was absent, and communicated very quickly and competently in handling a prickly situation with our not-too-friendly dog. She reads animal behavior very well, is very responsible and resourceful, and we highly recommend her services.
Shoo's been our go-to cat sitter for several years and has been great! She sends daily updates with pictures and keeps our plants alive as well. She is super reliable and responds very quickly. We'll definitely continue using her services for years to come!
Shoo is the BEST! My cat is afraid of everything and everyone, and he warmed up to her right away. She took great care of him while I was away for 2 weeks, and gave me such peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend
Sharon is amazing! I recently moved to the area and, on a short notice, had to find a pet-sitter for my dog and a cat for a few days. Sharon took such a good care of them! My dog can be a little mischievous, so Sharon even built "a fort", so my dog wouldn't get to the cat's stuff. When I got back, pets looked happy and well taken care of. Sharon kept in touch me regularly, informing on how everything is. She definitely does more than just pet-sitting - she even texted me to make sure I landed ok and am safe on the way home. Thank you, Sharon! We just love you!
Sharon is an excellent pet sitter. Sharon pet sat for a week. She took special care of my kitty (a cancer survivor) who needed daily medication. In addition she took care of 2 other cats, and 2 rabbits. Daily she texted me with an update and made helpful suggestions. When I got home, the kitchen was spotless and the animals well cared for. I would use her again.
Shoo is very professional, gives attention to detail, and is a very caring provider for animals. Along with myself, several family members have also used her services. We have known Shoo even before she went into this business, and we trust her completely with our home and animals.
Shoo is great with our 3 cats. She has been cat sitting for us for a few years now and they love her! She is very professional and easy to get ahold of. I am so happy we found her!
Sharon is the best pet sitter. My 2 cats love her.She keeps me informed of what's going on. She texts me pictures.She also is nice to bring in my mail or water my flower pots. Those little things mean a lot.
Denise is excellent with our pup, Kali. Kali is not great with strangers or new experiences, but Denise has done an excellent job exposing her to new activities, dogs, cats, and people in a controlled and safe manner. We recently had to board Kali here for over two weeks while we prepared our move, and got frequent photo and video updates which reassured us that we made the right choice in trusting Denise. I would highly recommend The Canine Junkie for boarding or daycare needs to anyone with a sub-20lbs pup!
Bo loves to spend the day running with her (similarly sized) pack at TCJ - Denise keeps them each and all safe. There are enrichment activities, long walks, rest times and the constant presence of pals to keep Bo interested and challenged. We all (Bo and her people) really respect and care for Denise - she takes her business seriously and is focused on the dogs all day. We also just really like Denise, she’s great! Both of us have mixed feelings about letting people know how great this day care is… don’t want them to get too, too busy!!!!
We are so thankful for Denise! She has taken care of our puppy for 8 days. Our puppy goes there weekly for a day of day care. Denise is very knowledgeable about dogs and has helped us out. While we are gone she sends us photos and videos. We are looking forward to her help in the future. She gives us good information about caring for our puppy, too.
Denise has been such a good caregiver for our 1year old Maltese, Ladybug. We are very grateful to have found her and we recommend her highly.
Our two Lhasas had a wonderful time with Denise. She gave them a lots of love and attention. They loved being outdoors and were so tired coming home after playing all day! It was a relief not to worry about them while we were gone on vacation. We are all looking forward to next time!
Denise is truly a blessing for my dog and my family. We have been able to count on her dozens of times to provide a second home for our dog and sleep well at night knowing that she is well taken care of. Every day after when we pick her up, we can sincerely tell that our dog has had a blast of a time. Denise will send videos to you as well of your dog having fun which is amazing. I highly recommend any dog owner to send their dog to Denise!
Denise is extremely reliable and professional with tons of experience. She is creative in providing mental "enrichment" on top of having enough space for everyone to run around and romp - thus creating a well rounded experience for the pups in her care. Her outstanding attention to everyone's comfort level and ability to quickly interpret canine body language allow even shy dogs to blossom!
Bodhi loves her visits at The Canine Junkie. Denise gives special care and attention to each dog and I can tell she really loves what she does.
Denise is great with Sam. I had to drop him off for the day. I know is day is full of caring and great enrichment that I am not able to do. I know when I pick him up his day has been filled with love. Denise always answers questions I have or little pointers to make Sam's life a little easier. You are the best Denise!
We've been bringing our pup here for the past two years. It's a perfect vacation for our pup when we go on vacations of our own. Piper gets excited every time she realizes where we're going. I can't imagine using anyone else to care for our fur baby.
My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!
Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!
We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!
This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆
Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!
We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!
This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾
Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.
The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!
We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.
I had a week long vacation out of the country and was very thrilled when I found Lori! I have never left my bunny with someone before for that long and was super nervous. Lori made me feel much better about the whole process by giving me access to the bunny room camera and her extensive knowledge on rabbits. I got to check on my little guy the whole time I was gone! Will definitely use Whisker Wise boarding the next time I’m out of town!
My three guinea pigs are very spoiled and precious to me, so it’s hard for me to leave them when we go out of town. I am so glad to have found Whisker Wise! Lori takes excellent care of my girls and responds readily to texts when I inquire about how they’re doing. They stayed with her for over two weeks this summer while we were visiting family and upon picking them up I could see they were happy and healthy (no lost weight, which happened at a previous place we boarded them at). She even gives them fresh veggies/tomatoes from her garden! Definitely recommend Whisker Wise. :)
Our guinea pigs Teddy and Domino were very well cared-for during our week and half away this month. The owner is super responsive to texts, understanding and responsible, and even sent us a cute video of our babies. :) Would definitely use again! Oh, and it was super affordable too!
Whisker Wise watched my two bonded English Lop Rabbits for about 17 days. Lori did such a good and attentive job in caring for them! They seem healthy and happy as can be. I also really enjoyed that Whisker Wise Animal Care and Boarding has cameras set up over the rabbit areas so you can check in on your rabbit at any time. Lori is also extremely kind and definitely cares about the animals themselves. When my rabbits ran out of a supplement/treat Lori went out and bought some more. I would definitely leave my Rabbits with Whisker Wise again!
When I went out of town for a week I was glad to find a place like whisker wise and someone like Lori to take care of my bunny. I've never boarded her before so I was a little apprehensive, but Lori assured me she would be very well cared for. She even offered to place her in a pen with a camera. It was so nice to see her on video whenever I wanted so I could check up on her and be able to move the camera around to see who she was rooming next to.The size of the pen looked very spacious and nicely set up with blankets. I would very much recommend Whisker Wise for any of your pocket pets and will definitely be using them again in the future!
I love Whisker Wise Animal Care & Boarding! Lori is absolutely wonderful and takes such good care of my rabbit. I never have to worry about him when I go out of town. She gives him the attention he needs and gives me updates on how he is doing. The setup she provides for rabbits is really nice and big. I used to board my bunny with my veterinarian, but I much prefer Whisker Wise. I have no reason to ever go to another boarder again!
Lori takes amazing care with the animals she watches. I was anxious to leave my newly adopted bunny for a week, but when I came back my sweet Maggie was even tamer than before! She has an amazing set up for bunnies (super cool modified room!) with toys and boxes and even little sitting pads for the bunns. She's super flexible about pick up and drop off and is very kind! She is awesome! Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience! Our senior bunny was well cared for during the 10 days we were out of town, and I loved being able to check on her via webcam. We will definitely be booking again the next time we go on a trip!
Having recently moved to the area, we were a little nervous with finding a new place to have our rabbits stay while we were out of town. Lori was great to talk to and put me at ease- additionally having a camera where we could view our buns to check in on them was a huge plus as well! Benny and Jasper were well taken care of during their stay over the New Year's holiday. Definitely will be bringing our buns here in the future for boarding. Thank you Lori!
Lori took in my bunnies at the last minute because I lost power. She was super kind and helpful! She was flexible and attentive. I know my kids were well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and will go back to her in the future.
Our family gives "four paws up" to Mae and Whistle NW Doggy Daycare, where we adopted our amazing lab puppy, Willow, one year ago. Mae had been caring for our girl for about two months and preparing her to find her forever home. We brought home a well-socialized, well-trained pup. Since then, we have continued to board with Mae when we travel and reach out to her as a resource. She is knowledgeable, a great communicator and the biggest dog lover you'll ever meet. We highly recommend Whistle Doggy Daycare, whether you are adopting or boarding. (The picture with the kids shows our first meeting with Willow at Mae's place; the other pictures show what a fun, energetic dog she has grown into.)
Mae with Whistle NW is amazing! We adopted our deaf puppy from Mae and she truly went above and beyond with her care and training for our Ducky! She set him up so well given his special needs and we are so happy we were able to adopt him from Mae! We often send Ducky back to Mae for boarding and he LOVES to go back and see Mae and the fam and all his puppy friends! I do not have enough good things to say about Whistle NW. We are so lucky to have found our special guy from Whistle NW.
Mae is simply amazing! Her knowledge about dogs is unparalleled, and she has the biggest heart. Mae takes in so many dogs as rescues and works tirelessly to find them loving homes. We were fortunate enough to have her place our puppy, Willow, with us. She thoroughly vetted us to ensure Willow was going to the right family, and we couldn't be happier. Whenever we go out of town, we trust Mae to board Willow, knowing she is in the best hands. Mae's dedication and love for dogs are truly inspiring. Highly recommend her services!
This place is amazing! We just adopted our new puppy Padmé (Nugget) and couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, they have been amazing at making sure everything went smoothly. We have been looking for a while for the perfect puppy to add to our family and then we found her! Now our family is complete! We would definitely look into them when looking to add to our family in the future as well as using them for boarding our dogs. Thank you so much!! ❤️
My little dude absolutely LOVES his time at Mae’s! Ollie is now an 8 month old Aussiedoodle with some separation anxiety issues and Mae was super kind and encouraging both during our initial assessment and the times he stayed with her. She gave us lots to work on at home and we both saw definite improvements in Ollie’s ability to self soothe and calm in the crate. He gets excited when we pull into our street and Mae has been so incredibly accommodating of my weird work schedule as well as my lil pup’s eccentricities. I feel so grateful knowing he’s not only being looked after in a safe environment, but that he’s encouraged to play and be social with both people and dogs. I’m so grateful to Mae and feel so lucky to have connected with Whistle Dog. (Pic is one that Mae sent during a day-sitting - happy happy dude!)
This is the best kept secret in Vancouver, but shouldn’t be! I was gone 9 days and my regular place was closed so I reached out to Mae! What an amazing experience for me as a long time user of various dog boarding facilities over 16 years. By far this is my favorite place! Mae does such a great job with updates and pics, I just picked up my Aussie after 9 days boarding and she is happy, tired, and all smiles! I will not hesitate to refer this facility and add a HUGE recommendation. Thank you, Mae for caring for my fur kid while I traveled 😊- Brandi
Our 5 month old doodle loves going to daycare with Mae. I’m so grateful for Whistle NW. Mae is a dog person to her core, so it’s easy to trust her completely with our Ozzy. I love that Mae is very responsive by text and we get fun updates and photos throughout the day. If you’re looking for someone to love on your pup, look no further.
Whistle NW Doggy Daycare and Boarding watched our two fur-babies in September while we were out of town. Mae was very patient and responsive to my helicopter Mom tendencies. At pickup both my kids looked like they had a fabulous time while we were off! I will absolutely use their services again.
So happy to have found Mae and Whistle NW Doggy Daycare. Our dog is such a social guy with a lot of energy and really thrives best when he gets to go to daycare at least a couple times a week. He absolutely loves coming to Whistle and has so many friends there. Mae is amazing and so helpful. She has a love for animals that I have never experienced before. I wholeheartedly feel confident every time my guy spends the day or overnight at Whistle. I highly recommend this daycare/boarding if you are looking for someone to love your dog as much as you do.
I cannot even begin to tell you how fantastic Mae was with our boy! We were traveling through town and needed an (unexpected) dog daycare! Mae was so gracious in letting Scottie join the crew for two days, but still made sure to do a full check for behavior, vaccinations, etc., before we showed up. If I lived in Vancouver, she would be my go to doggie daycare. She sent updates throughout the day and Scottie was so excited to go back the next day. ( I have never seen him that excited for daycare!) 11/10 service and love!
