Mature couple who will treat your pets and home with love and respect!
Patti and Craig were excellent sitters. We come home to happy cats, a clean home, and the unexpected bonus of a home cooked dinner in the fridge for us. Communication with Patti and Craig was excellent, they kept us updated on their arrival from their long drive to Calgary, and while we were away we received regular messages letting us know that all was well. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening chatting with Patti and Craig over dinner before our departure. They are a lovely couple and I strongly recommend that you choose Patti and Craig as your house / pet sitters.

Animal-loving and extremely dependable, active retired couple traveling the USA
Shannon and Robert were great. They have a sweet dog, Frisco, who came as well which was a treat for our dog, Blue. Apparently the two played all day long and were tired puppies at night and it made it easy for Shannon and Robert. The house was also immaculate. I can't say enough about their care and I would love for them to come back again, if possible. We are now thinking about asking for sitters who bring their own pets.

Adventurous, friendly, honest, anxious to help, energetic
We could not have asked for better sitters! Woodie and Cheryl attended so lovingly to our pup Akela. They took her on all kinds of hikes and activities! We loved the many photos and sweet updates they sent us. A total bonus: our house was left absolutely spotless! They even swept the front and back porch! Thank you so much, Woodie and Cheryl!

Happy, energetic, non-smoking retired couple who love to travel and love pets.
Alan and Glenda were an absolute delight. We met up the evening before the sit and left the morning after, so we had some nice time to visit, chat and learn about their travels. Chasqui (our dog) had clearly made a bond with them as she was begging them to throw the ball when we got back from our mini-vacation. She smiled at them and cuddled up to them...not something that would happen if she had been ignored or treated badly in any way. The house was scrubbed down and neat upon our return. Everything was in perfect order. We couldn't have asked for a better sit. Except for walks in the neighborhood to lunch spots, they stuck to home, enjoying the garden and Chasqui's company. In a nutshell, Alan and Glenda are calm, polite, kind, mature and conscientious sitters and we would not hesitate to have them back.
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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 for free at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Good training for the price if you are looking for a food based trainer. Will probably take more courses as they are the closest trainer but I would prefer training that doesn't entirely rely on food as my dog is easily distracted and doesn't always pay attention to food. He only pays attention when I have human food to feed him for treats but then he almost always has diarrhea afterwards so I don't like using it. When I don't use human food he doesn't pay much attention to me or what I'm asking him to do.
They put on a great Scentwork trial this weekend. Everyone was friendly and helpful and their judge lineup was GREAT!
They are the REAL DEAL! So friendly but make you work hard to earn your certificate. Very knowledgeable too! Sofia and I had a great experience and we want to go back for agility training sometime soon.
This is a great place to get several different levels of training for you dog. They are very patient in working with all varieties of dogs. I have had 3 dogs that I have trained through this facility and they have been wonderful. They are very reasonable priced.
Great dog obedience classes. For dogs at various stages. Includes play and working yards.
Our puppies love socializing and we are being well trained
They take care of there animals
Amazing group of people.
Terrific training program.
Dog diggin
We had a great experience here!! We left our 3 dogs (11 year old, 2 year old, and 8 month old) with them for 4 days and they loved it. They keep the dogs in a large shed that is temp controlled and VERY clean. They have a huge area outside to run and play that is kept mowed and clean. They let them out regularly to run. The couple are wonderful and treated our dogs like their own. They greeted our dogs so sweet and were very patient with them, as they were all nervous! When we came to pick them up they were all three happy and clean. They gave us our leftover food and had used the treats we left. We will definitely use them any time we need boarding! Would highly recommend!!
I've used Golden Oaks a few times now. Very friendly owners. My two dogs always seem well cared for, however, the first time I brought them I brought them both their new beds, and they were returned to me completely tore up! And they both smelled. I thought I'd give them another try and The other couple times they weren't smelly, thank goodness. But I just left them for 10 days and both of them are sneezing like crazy and have a funny cough. I think they both have kennel cough! I'm not happy about this at all! I didn't notice it until I got them home. I feel so horrible for them.
Mom and pop, very nice people. I will definitely go again when I need to board
They wait until the day you drop off to make you sign a release form stating they are not reliable for injuries while staying there. I checked on my dog several times and was told that she was fine. The day of pick up she had missing hair on her snout along with dried old blood,sliced open chin from wanting out of the chain link kennel so bad and reaked of urine. I left food and snacks none of which looked like had been touched. Nice people but not impressed with their care for my baby.
They are amazing. My dog loves going there and is always well taken care of. Very clean facility and lots of running and playing area
We left 3 dogs here for a week over thanksgiving 2021. They have a 1 acre yard they get to run it. The dogs seemed well taken care of, I’m not sure what some of the other reviews are referring to, but I’m sure some dogs take better to bring away from their owners.
We left our dog for a weekend last March. She was wet and smelled like urine and was so sick. I do not recommend this kennel.
Kennels were clean. Curtis took care of Brutis like he was his own. Definitely will take Brutis back.
Our fur babies stayed here for over a week and they were very well taken care of! Will use this place again!
I was very reluctant to leave our dogs there once I saw where they would be staying when we came and pick them up they look like they have not eaten the are the owners try to charge us more than what we were supposed to be charged and it was just absolutely filthy I will never do that to my dogs ever again
Horrible experience! We dropped our border collie off for the weekend and it should’ve been a red flag when they would not let us go back to see where she was going to be staying. However, we went ahead and left her since they insured us that we could call throughout the weekend and check on her. We give them complete instructions, feeding, etc. in reference to Daisy Mae and then we went on our way. Several times throughout the weekend we had tried to call to check on Daisy Mae however no one answered the phone. This was frustrating the whole weekend as We are very close with our baby girl as I’m sure most of you are. Sunday rolls around and it’s now time to go pick up Daisy. We are extremely excited to see her. Daisy‘s personality is the same. She is extremely excited to see us when we have been away. My wife is the one who actually goes pick Daisy Mae up from Remi‘s and she was barely moving moping very slowly. Almost as if she was drugged. Her bag of food that we had give her for the weekend was completely full untouched so she hadn’t been fed at all, not sure if she had even been watered. When my wife and Daisy get home, I just knew Daisy was going to run and jump up on the chair like she always does to greet me. No, this did not take place. She was barely walking into the house very very slowly and went and found a place and just laid down. She laid down basically for two days before this basically wore out of her. Now she is back to her rambunctious self, so I am almost certain something was given to her at that location. I am not sure of what, but I do know how my Daisy Mae acts on a daily basis. And she will NEVER I repeat NEVER Going back to Remi‘s again. Furthermore, after carefully examining Daisy’s Medication prior to dropping off as we always do. She had 21 trazodone for extreme anxiety that was given to her for the Fourth of July since she does not like fireworks. They were still in her bag, therefore my wife instructed Remi‘s to give Daisy Mae One (1) pill if she became extremely anxious. When we picked Daisy Mae up there were only 15 pills left in Daisy Mae trazodone bottle. The math only adds up to one thing. I would not recommend anyone to leave their precious babies with this facility.
Absolutely amazing place! We did the beginner and intermediate/advanced training and later tested for Canine Good Citizen all through this facility with wonderful results. Felicia is amazing with the animals and really takes care to help you be successful in the training classes. Our corgi goes to doggie daycare at least a few days a week and loves it! He knows what it means to “go to school” and is always so excited to head out the door in the morning. We have also had wonderful experiences with boarding our elderly and very anxious dogs. The staff are amazing and incredibly friendly. Prices are very affordable and well worth the money.
Great academy for dogs! We take our dogs here for boarding and grooming. We will be doing doggy daycare to get them socialized. Recommend giving them a shot. Grooming is affordable and well done also.
Edit: They now accept cards, they used to be cash/check only. My dog Bo absolutely loves coming here and the employees love the dogs, haven't had any issues except that he's really thirsty when he comes home. I bought the daycare $100 11 day package, and it's $25/night for boarding which are fantastic deals. I've also gotten the grooming (includes daycare), he got a bath and blow for like $40 and was super soft and clean. They only take new dogs on certain days of the week, and make sure you have all your pet's records.
Unbelievable! Excellent! We had a family member passing away in Colorado the ladies made accommodations for our little Cooper🐶 on short notice, so we could say our goodbyes, they treat our pup like their own, weather caused thousands of delays and cancellations of flights the sweet ladies at Remies assured us they would take care of our pooch 🐶 and told us they would love to have him stay a few more days. We insta carted some extra food over for our lovable little K9 and a few snacks and treats for the awesome puppy caregivers. This place is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend boarding, play dates and training your dog 🐕 here! 💯❤️🐕🐶👍 sincerely The Ray family thanks you for all of your comparison
My dog has severe separation anxiety, and as a husky mix he's very much an escape artist. When I found Remi's K9 for daycare, it was an answer to his needs, and my worries about him. While he had to take time to get adjusted, he's been so well taken care of and loved while in the staff's care. They care about the dogs safety and well being above all else, and it really shows. It's affordable, it's helpful, and I can't recommend them enough!
Had our daughters dog there for the weekend. Very friendly staff very clean facility, and her dog was taken very good care of. Will use Remi's again.
Remi is feeling great after her spa day 🧖♀️ will definitely be a new regular stop for us …
My dog and I both love Remi's K9 Academy! I love the training we recieved, my dog loves the daycare!! I felt at ease boarding my dog there, knowing she was being well taken care of and in a place with people she adores!
Took our dog to be groomed here and they did an excellent job! Took super good care of our fur baby and he looked amazing. Make sure you bring some cash to pay, they don't accept credit cards.
We've taken our dog to Lucky Dog since he was 5 months old! He loves to play with all his doggy friends, and we love Sue & Jody. We use them for daycare, grooming, and boarding. We trust them wholeheartedly, and feel like they're part of our family now!
It’s the best place in Joplin to board your dog(s) whether it’s for one day or when you go on vacation. They have suites for the furry friends where I’d sleep without problems. — They offer play days and excellent grooming! 😊🐾🐾 …
We love Lucky Dog They are family.. Every dog there is treated like royalty. The place is CLEAN and always a fun place for the dogs. Sue and Jody love what they do and it shows. After we got a little Cassie they were very helpful teaching us how to raise a happy, confident, behaved dog. Now that Cassie is no longer a puppy they are supportive of all her adventures.. I'm glad they are concerned and careful about thy dogs in their care, I know my dog is safe, and happy and socialized with other dogs from caring families who have well treated and behaved dog. I love that Jody helps out in the community with the therapy dog, Working at Freeman we love it when she brings her dogs in
We drove out to Lucky Dog to consider it for our pug for the upcoming weekend. As we drove in, the lady was outside performing some task. We asked if we could see the facility .She advised us in a decidedly unfriendly manner that she was busy doing whatever she was doing. We were told that we needed to make an appointment to come back. She would then consider whether she had room for another dog and whether she would board our dog. Hopefully Lucky Dog treats dogs better than customers (and potential customers), but one has to be concerned that perhaps they don't. We did not come back.
Would rate lower if I could!!!!!!1 I called to see about grooming prices. I informed them of my dog's breed and age and the lady literally laughed in my face and then told me to try someone else without referring me to anyone else and without asking me any information about what I wanted in terms of grooming. For all they know I could have wanted a simple bath or an ear trim! very low quality staff. would not recommend!!!
Very nice, friendly facility. Our dogs love staying here. Highly recommend Sue and Jody, they are great people that run a first class operation!
I’m not sure how they treat the animals but they are rude and have bad customer service. I called to inquire about possibly getting my dog in for doggy daycare and the rude lady that answered literally asked “what do you want?” Would not recommend at all.
I called to see about getting my dog groomed because he is shedding very bad . The lady that answered the phone was very short with me and told me that he needs to go to the vet ??? What really ! No he just needs a good groomer to get ahold of him but I wasnt able to reach one when I called this place !!!!
This is a really good place, whenever I say “doggy daycare,” my dog run toward the door, they always wanna go back.
They take really great care of our dog. Great all around services.
Had a wonderful experience. My dog (Avonlea-a mini schnauzer) was groomed here Friday morning. I'm very pleased with how they cared for her as well as the adorable cut they did! Thank you so much!
They did an amazing job! I was so nervous bringing in my Miniature Schnauzer puppy for her first visit to a groomer. But they were so patient and sweet with her that they made it a wonderful experience for my puppy. I’m so happy!
My dog Razz loved the place and staff very much. This boy of mine can be picky about things. He was a happy camper when I picked him up. I was gone a few weeks. The staff took extremely good care of him. I truly can't believe how happy he was being there. A very Special Thanks to Tabitha and the all the staff for all they done for me and Razz. Thanks again from Paul and Razz!!!
I am so happy to find Little Critters, they are so courageous, and friendly I was so comfortable here. It was my puppy Sadie’s first cut and grooming session. She looks so gorgeous! Talking to everyone here it felt like being with close friends and family. Thank you all so much. Before and after pictures, just a cutie patootie ❤️
Shout out to Tabatha and her crew! Little critters is awesome! Very clean. Very Zen! Her grooming is awesome. Wouldn't take my pets anywhere else!
I have been taking my Lucky to little critters for going on 10 years. They are the best and take their time with him because he doesn't like grooming lol. Very pleased with Tabatha and the girls!😘 …
Tabitha & Dawn did an amazing job of taking care of our 3 fur babies!! They’re very reasonably priced, always positive and cheery, sent us pictures of our pups without us even asking, bathed and groomed all 3 dogs, and were incredibly kind and accommodating when our travel plans got changed last-minute! Boarding your fur babies can be stressful, but these ladies did an excellent job of taking care of our doggos as if they were their own. Thank you so much!! We’ll be back for a 3rd time whenever we plan our next trip! 🤗
They did really good with my puppy. This was her first grooming and she did pretty good and they were patient with her. They were fantastic with here.
I have a adorable toy Yorkie I normally get a teddy bear cut on. I had a friend pick him up and when he got home he had basically been shaved and his face was comepletly messed up and I’m fixable. They should be ashamed. My poor puppy is depressed and freezing with no hair
Knowledgeable and trustworthy to provide good quality grooming for my pups. We will be back!
I recently boarded my dogs here and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Leaving my babies behind was hard—I missed them like crazy—but the team here made all the difference. They sent daily pictures and updates that kept me connected, which was a huge comfort. My babies were so loved and well cared for, and I could tell they truly bonded with the staff. They didn’t just look after them—they loved on them. It was obvious my babies felt right at home, and seeing them so happy and at ease gave me incredible peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend boarding their dogs here to anyone who wants their pet in a safe, warm, and loving environment. Thank you to everyone who cared for my fur babies.
Using King Style was an absolute blessing. The pictures show our dog loved his time there. The owners are people you want to know. Really good people. The online booking and payment made the transaction super easy. Thanks King Style!
Our dog Stryker has separation anxiety and is usually visibly sad or refuses to eat while in boarding, as he is used to staying home with his parents. This is his first time at King Style boarding. While he was here, he ate like normal, was very social with the other dogs. I loved the personalization of the photo updates. I can see from the smile on his face that Stryker was cared for, and he felt loved and comfortable even away from home.
Very impressed with the care they gave my Bo Bo! Very kind and professional staff! Even though we only had to leave our pup for a day they sent us pictures of him playing! Love how much they cared for my boy! We will be back soon!
Before King Style, I had never in my 82 years left a dog with a kennel. My Susie has now been in their care multiple times and I couldn't be more pleased. She wags her stubby little tail every time I drop her off. Thank you to all the staff who take such loving care of my baby.
We took our girl Oakley at Kings Style Dog Boarding. She was there for 7 days. It was the first time we had ever left her that long. We are truck drivers and she is a trucker dog. So she is always with us. We were going out of town, and needed a facility in short notice. They got back to me quickly and was able to get my girl in. They sent pictures daily which eased my mind, as we had never left her for such a long period of time. We requested a bath and nail trim before pick up. At pick up she smelled great and not like a boarding facility. We will definitely bring her back. We appreciate the excellent care that was given to our baby girl.
Wow! First time taking our babies to the boarders. Terra and Skylor were absolutely amazing. Our dogs are not very socialized, so I was worried how they would react to them and other dogs. With their patience, love and gentleness they had a great week. We will absolutely be back. Hands down the #1 place I would recommend for boarding! Thank you!
It was hard to board our dog for the first time, but King Style Dog Boarding made it much easier! The daily messages with pictures showed us that our girl was happy and getting plenty of love and care while we were away. We will be returning next time we leave town. Highly recommend!
Absolutely love this place! Kenobi and Olive always get excited when we get close and always have a blast. They get the best care and exercise. It is their home away from home! Highly recommend!
I, but more importantly my dog, loved this place!!! It is very obvious the staff love what they do. My dog might have been almost as happy there as if she had been home. They take extra care with medical records, including a fecal exam, which most places do not require. This tells me how strict their standards are and that is a great thing in my book. They keep you updated with pictures and texts. Poppy will be back!
We've always loved Deborah and the staff at the Pampered Pooch who care for and groom our 4 poodles. We drive all the way from Nevada!! Now they've added Jim and his excellent dog training services and we're equally impressed with him. He has given us tools to help manage our little herd... sit, down, place, wait, leave, calmly walking on a lead, public socialization... and I find myself thinking, "what would Mr. Jim do?". We will continue working on the skills we've learned during our time with Jim.
Jim Smith done an amazing job with Daisy Mae and I in our first obedience class! Jim is retired militarily and very knowledgeable with training your pet. He has had extensive training and his background speaks for itself. Although Daisy Mae and I took the course because she was having just a couple of nuisance issues I could not break. Jim through his patients and experience shed some light on some very insightful training that will be very useful going forward. I am very amazed with this six week course that watching all the dogs from day one to graduation day how far they at all came was super amazing! However, I know it takes repetitive structure to keep your pets training a positive instead of a negative! This could not of been possible without Jim you’re teaching us the basics that you did. Daisy Mae and I do look forward to taking your advanced class sometime in the future! If you want to get positive effective training for a very reasonable price, I strongly recommend Jim Smith with Pampered Pooch Day Spa!
Well, where to begin, Ollie was very reactive to people walking near him (lunging/growling/trying to nip) especially when we were around, barking uncontrollably at anyone who would come into the house or even the doorbell ring/knocking on the door. Jim came out and assessed the situation and said he could fix the problem, and that he did. He worked with Ollie for the first few days. Taught us how to properly correct him and reward him. I think he struggled more with teaching us than Ollie haha but he was very patient and helpful with all of us. Now, Ollie is a changed dog. We can walk him without him pulling and trying to lunge and bark at any moving thing. All of us enjoy walking a lot more now. The barking at the doorbell and people coming into the house is under control. Overall, it was a good experience for us and our dog thanks to Jim.
Daisy my lab and I attended Jim’s training class. My life became very hectic during this 6 week period but we continued the classes. Daisy absolutely loves Jim. She came out of the class a bit calmer and now I can walk her without getting my arm ripped out of socket😂. I highly recommend the classes. My only regret is that I didn’t start her at 6 months instead of over a year old. Also the training facility at Pampered Pooch is so nice and roomy and clean! You don’t get hit with dog odors when you walk in but nice clean light smell of bleach. I am considering using them to groom my labradoodle.
Jim at The Pampered Pooch worked with my dog Hermes for just a few weeks and the difference is night and day! Hermes was VERY skittish around other dogs to the point where he couldn’t be around them. In just a few sessions, Jim changed that. He was able to walk on leash with Jim’s dog without any issues. We are so appreciative of the hard work he put into our training and Hermes loved him. Thanks Jim!
Wonderful place all around for grooming and for training - my service dog Sandy is top notch thanks to Jim and always treated like family when getting groomed thanks to the staff
Jim Smith did an excellent job with our puppy Maggie, a mini goldendoodle who was a little crazy and out of control at first. He had her calm two minutes after he started working with her. She loved working with him and he was extremely knowledgable and helpful. He had her doing the most important commands within the first four sessions. We highly recommend him!
I hired Jim to do private lessons with my sweet but wild Bella. While smaller than he normally trains, he did wonderful. Our last season was today and even though we are done, he will help me with any tune ups as needed. And Bella loves her “treat guy”, so I’m sure we will stay in touch!
We have used Deborah for grooming for several years. So when Bailey joined our family and needed training it only made sense for us to go to Pampered Pooch that we trusted! I am so glad we did! Jim is amazing with his skills of training. He is top notch! Bailey has become such a better dog in 6 weeks time. Now I have the knowledge to continue working daily to reinforce what she has learned! If you have a dog in need of training, Jim Smith is the one to do it!
Jim Smith was a "God send." I thought we were going to have to get rid of our 80 pound puppy. She was a grouchy hard headed girl. Jim worked with her and taught me how to control her. The change was so dramatic that when we went to the vet for shots he ask if we had given her some Marijuana. She behaves in public and is pleasant and attentive around the house. I highly recommend this trainer. Can't thank Jim enough.
Started taking my dog there about a month ago. She is going to be there for about a week. This place comes highly recommended from several friends that have animals and they've been taking their animals there for a while. Great looking place, great people, very friendly. My dog seems to love it when I bring her home she is wore out.
I can honestly say when no one else would help take care of my fur babies when we had a family emergency and need, this is the ONLY place in the Neosho, MO area who jumped to help me out. Not only were they accommodating, but polite and very professional. I now call them my puppy's home away from home! Thank you all!
Dropped my boys off while we were in town just for the day. Everyone we talked to were super friendly and accommodating to us. Jim and Manchas had a blast. Would HIGHLY recommend.
All Dogs Dream helped facilitate the adoption of my dog, Shadow, and made the process simple and easy! I had to fill out a form and I was able to call the adoption director, Anna, and ask as much questions as I needed. Since I was coming from a distance, I was also able to video call and see how the dog was in action! They were also kind enough to hold my dog for me after a deposit, which made the process less stressful for me as I could plan accordingly! Highly recommend adopting from them and so happy to have my Keeshond in my life.
“Spectacular!!!” Says Moose the 150 lb baby English Mastiff. “I’m spoiled every time I visit. I’ve made great friends.”
We came here to adopt our sweet little boy pug. The process was easy and smooth. The staff is very friendly and professional. We were so impressed with their whole operation. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
This place is so great. Our dogs love it there and they love our dogs. Since they have started to go there, they have become more calm around other dogs and calm at home.
I took my dog here recently for day care and it went great. My dog had a blast and this place is very clean. Staff is very friendly and loved to have my dog back again in the future. Highly recommend !!!
We absolutely love All Dogs Dream! Our pup is happy and loved. Great people that work there. I don't trust any other place!! And fun treats.
The facility is always so clean, friendly and knowledgable staff, very happy, safe, well taken doggies.
We enrolled our two dogs (8 months + 3 years) in Josh’s group class program and so far it has been amazing! We meet 1-2x a week and learn new skills each week and revisit what we previously learned. This class does such a good job of teaching not only our dogs but also us on how to train them the proper way. Definitely recommend the group class!
I’ve never been so happy with a service before. We got a puppy and totally were out of our league as to how to get her behavior under control. So I looked for help and that’s when I found whyte dog academy. And if I’m totally honest I wasn’t so sure the training was doing any good. I thought maybe our dog was a lost cause. But then we did the follow up in home training and I was blown away. It was like a light switch. Our dog totally respected Josh and her behavior went from an unruly puppy, to a puppy who obeyed all my commands. Yes, it took some time and consistency but now our dog is the best, most pleasant dog I’ve ever had! I highly recommend whyte dog academy if you need help training a dog with a lot behavior issues. It’s worth every penny!
I initially enrolled my dog into daycare at Whyte Dog Academy following a bad experience at another facility. The way the entire staff interacts with all the dogs that attend daycare is amazing. You can tell that they love what they do and you just can feel that your dog is in good hands. I had read about the training programs offered and I was skeptical but after several conversations related to my concerns I opted for the 3 week Day Academy. That was the best decision I have ever made. It’s like I took one dog to training and brought a different dog home. Thank you Joshua and all the staff! They are the best!
I can’t thank Joshua and his team at Whyte dog academy enough! My dog, Moose, did a 5 week board and train and he has come out a new dog. He used to be very reactive towards other dogs, not a great leash walker and they have made him an amazing dog! The reactivity is gone and he can walk completely off leash now. They helped me gain confidence back in my dog and we both are so happy with the structure they gave us!
Whyte Dog Academy just does it right. Period. We had a consultation for our loveable yet stubborn Rottweiler, Sadie, and ended up doing the complete obedience board and train. Joshua made a point to learn our specific problems and needs in terms of Sadie's obedience. You can tell he genuinely cares about dogs and the results of their training. And the results of Sadie's training have been amazing. We're blown away sometimes. She follows directions and is very attentive to us now. Walking her is a dream! No pulling, lunging, barking, and she stays safe. She will ignore a nearby cat or rabbit with a simple "leave it". The peace of mind that we have now is just priceless. I had a hard time committing to paying for dog training, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that I have no regrets. All of the perks that they offer after training are a bonus. It's so worth it.
Today we were looking for a dog trainer in the Joplin, Missouri area and came across Whyte Dog Academy. We needed someone to help us in better understanding our dogs behavior. Joshua Whyte met with us and we are so thankful for the opportunity and time he made for us. Joshua guided us with great care for our blue heeler and wonderful patience through the free consultation. We received very helpful direction and understanding of our dogs behavior. 🐕 Thank you Joshua for all your help looking forward to training with you! 🙏
These trainers are amazing at what they do, they’re knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I had a great experience with them having my puppy trained and was amazed by how quickly a 12 week old puppy could learn and pick up pretty much everything. I feel confident and comfortable with my dogs in their hands because they are a business full of people who are trustworthy and passionate about what they do. Their jobs don’t end at training nor when you no longer have sessions with them, they continue to educate the public and truly just want what’s best for all dogs.
We are SO thankful for Whyte Dog Academy!! Two of our dogs recently completed training with Whyte Dog. Two weeks ago a board broke on our fence in the back yard and they got out while I was getting ready. After running out to the front yard and not finding them, I ran to wake up the kids to help me look. I left leashes for them and I got in the car to go check the road behind us in case they ran through the woods that direction. They weren’t there. Our son was in the woods and not finding them either. I came back into our neighborhood and parked near the entrance and started walking toward our house yelling for them. They came out of the woods on the opposite side excited as could be. I called “come” and they came to me immediately. But I didn’t have any leashes! My car was over a block behind me and the house over a block ahead of me. We started for the house. They started to run off again but I called them back and had them go into the down position for a minute. This got them to calm down and let their adrenaline slow down. I then called “heel” and they walked all the way home by my side. I released them at the side of our yard and they ran to our son who was waiting by the porch. THANK YOU Joshua and all those at Whyte Dog for the wonderful training. It was a life saver for us!!! If you need training, this is the place to go!!
My dog came home with kennel cough and fleas, and yes I keep him on prevention, his seresto collar was mysteriously missing when I picked him up and he had numerous fleas, plus it cost me around 200$ at the vet to treat the kennel cough... I'd go somewhere else!
The knowledge and customer service here are absolutely unmatched! You get the most professional treatment with a genuine personal touch. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
I truly don't know what I'd do without Dave and Alicia. They take awesome care of our 4-legged babies. We've been using their in-home pet sitting services for just about 2 years (since relocating to the Joplin from Denver, Colorado). From the first moment I met Dave I knew he was the perfect choice for our in-home pet sitting needs. Both he and Alicia love our dogs like they are their own. I will continue to recommend Dave and Alicia to anyone in need of their services. Thank you Dave for everything -- I know our pets are well taken care of when being cared by you!
Boarded our 3 girls with Dave & Alicia for 4 nights. When I picked them up this morning, they were super happy. It's obvious that they were very well taken care of. We are new to the area and relieved to find someone to take care of them when we travel.
My fiancee and I boarded our two dogs at For Pet's Sake and we were very happy with their service. I think our dogs were even happier to be able to run around in a 10 acre fenced area! We will definitely bring our dogs here again.
I contacted For Pets Sake about boarding my 2 dogs for five days. I met with Mr West and toured his facility. We talked at length and I liked him and his facility. The day I was to leave town. I called him as I was instructed to do, no answer. I called once more then decided I would just take my dogs to his facility/house. Couldn't find anyone. I returned home and called again still with no answer. I ended up having to call around and board my dogs last minute with someone else. And I was 3hrs behind on travel. I never even got a return phone call.
Love Alicia and Dave! Wouldn't trust anyone but these two to care for our furbabies!! One of our dogs is a beast and she just loves it there!! Highly recommended!!
Alicia and Dave took such gentle, loving care of our senior coonhound, Lucille. We will never forget them and look forward to bringing our young coonhound to them as well.
Duke loves going there and Dave and Alicia treat him like their own dog. Lots of room to run and play!
Love this place my 3 dogs love them sweet people
This is a Road and not a dog named Pete
These people are amazing. My dog does great here. We've used them the last few years when we went on vacation. Daisy was happy to go home, but smelled good, and did not seem unhappy to have been.
We took a long week end out of town and had our puppy stay the weekend. Drop off was easy and pick up was just as easy! Pricing was also really good! He was happy as ever when we came back! I texted during the stay checking on him and she replied promptly with updates!! I'd highly recommend!
They provided great care for our Collie, Ozark. He had an indoor/outdoor run area. Ozark was clean when we picked him up. He was able to use a doggy door to go outside as needed. The kennels are air conditioned as well. I love this place!
We really enjoy taking our dogs to "The Dog House on Apple Road" and so do our dogs! You can tell that they truly love doing what they do. Max and Bella get all excited as soon as they figure out where we are headed. Prices are fair and kennel is extremely clean and organized.
Amazing people and clean place for our Buddy dog. He loves being there and you can tell they care about the animals they keep. They are also so great to work with us on last minute needs.
Loved the way they treated our two dogs. They looked spectacular after grooming.
Be warned this place does not count time like most boarding facilities. Got charged two days ($50!!!!) for my dog to be there for 24 hours. And the only reason she was even there for that long was because they only allow drop offs and pick ups during certain times of the day.
I boarded my dog here and it waz great experience. I felt very comfortable leaving him in their care. He made many new friends and was very well taken care of.
Super friendly staff, great accommodations for all types of dogs
Excellent facility. Great staff. Highly recommend
