Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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 overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $15/week 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!
Highly recommend! First of all they called my regular Veterinarian to confirm my Poodles vaccine records. Second, they were efficient and did an amazing job. Gave me exactly what I asked for. They were also upfront and open about cost. I booked two more appointments in advance. I added a before picture for reference
I take my dog here to get her nails clipped. They are quick and more affordable than a lot of places! Plus they are always happy to see my neurotic little chihuahua min-pin mix!
My dogs are so happy there, for day care, grooming and boarding! They can’t wait to get there. I never feel guilty to drop them off. I have peace of mind as I know they will take care for my fur babies, whatever is needed. And I will be informed with anything I should know during the day or when I am traveling. Love them 👍🐾🐾❤️❤️
They did such a good job with my Goldendoodle Billie. She seem to love it there and her full groom looks amazing highly recommend! Very friendly staff
Tonia is the best ❤️My Little dog feels safe with her. And she comes home happy and not stressed out
My Pomeranian loves it here! He comes here for playcare and boarding. He's always super excited when we pull up and always seem super happy when I pick him up. Lori and Damian are the best! We're on a first name basis :) Animal Oasis Boarding drop off/ pick up times Monday to Friday 7am – 6pm Saturday 9am – 6pm Sunday 9am – 1pm; 6pm – 8pm
Animal Oasis was wonderful and kind throughout our adoption procees. They are very knowledgeable and help with any questions or concerns you may have. They made the process easy for us! I would definitely recommend them to anyone, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars!! 🥰 …
Awesome dog & cat lovers! Love this place. We adopted our Buddy in 1-2011. This place is great for him when we’re working 10 hour days & driving 1+ hour each way. He gets to interact with other dogs and the people here most of their open hours. Love the people taking care of Buddy 4-5 days and nights weekly. They truly care about these pets!
The staff is kind, dependable,and caring. My dog enjoys play care at the animal oasis. She is able to socialize with others in a warm secure environment while I work. I truly appreciate the service provided by the caregivers at Animal Oasis.
One of the best grooming that my dog has had and I like that they have the option for my dog to play with other dogs and get some energy out rather than be kenneled the whole time
Hunter has done such an amazing job grooming my standard poodle, Russell!! He comes out with an extra skip in his step!! I would recommend her grooming to anyone!!!!!
Hunter and Porsche came highly recommended for grooming and I can see why! I brought my 8 year old shepherd here to be groomed and they did a fantastic job, she is nice and fluffy again and smells great. We will definitely continue to see them regularly for grooming and boarding if we ever need. Super friendly and such kind people here!
They are our go to place when we need to board our dog, Portia and her team are the best!
Love Teton Kennels they always do such a great job with my 🐶 pups.. Hunter is so good with my shy girl Mya and Jax looks so handsome every time. …
Amazing place to get your pet groomed or boarded. Very friendly and professional staff.
Wow! I Had no idea the versatility of this hidden gem. I brought my best buddy Vader (Pug Extraordinaire) He never likes getting his nails cut but was swept away and smiled the entire way through. I also watched a few customers dropping their dogs off and they were phenomenal with them as well. 🫶🏼💯 So happy to have found this place that cares so much for all of their pets clients and clients pets. Made my day for sure. Thank you all so much.. 💙
This was my first visit to Hunter to have our dog groomed. She did a fantastic job! Our dog is a little shy and she loved Hunter! Our dog looked fabulous! Can't wait to come back again.
We love Teton Kennels! Our big dogs are so happy and cared for while they are there. We just had all three groomed and they look (and smell) fabulous! Thank you for taking care of our pups, Teton Kennels - you are the best!
We were out of town for a week and boarded our five dogs (3 big dogs and 2 small dogs). This is the first time all of them have been boarded. I reserved two kennels due to number and duration. The price was great! The service was fantastic! Porsche and her family truly love your babies like their own. I even had my cocker spaniel groomed and my other small dogs nails trimmed while they were there, and Hunter does a great job! I highly recommend them for both boarding and grooming!
Hunter Sessions is an amazing groomer. Hunter groomed our 8 month old Golden Doodle for his first time and he was happy the whole time. He came back to us beautiful, clean, smelling wonderful and no trauma!! Thanks Hunter!
Diggs Playhouse is Amazing! They have been incredibly accommodating with drop off and pick up times and my dogs actually enjoy going there. It was a struggle to get them to go to their last place. I get daily playtime pictures and the staff seem like very caring and genuine dog people. The prices are also very reasonable. So lucky to have them in the IF community!
We left our dog here for over 10 days and we had a really great experience. They sent us a bunch of pictures of him playing throughout his stay and they seemed to really look after him and make sure he was a happy guy. They also offer baths and grooming so they’re not super gross when you pick them up. Would definitely recommend
Diggs playhouse is the best! Before coming here we had never boarded our dog so were a bit nervous. We went in before boarding to ask questions, take a tour, and get more info. Before the first time boarding there was a free half day (or maybe full day, I don’t remember) trial to see how the dog does there. My dog was skeptical at first but the people at Diggs were so informative and helpful and comforting! They told us exactly how she did when we picked her up and answered all of our questions. They’re very careful with the dogs and make sure they’re safe. They made sure to ask how she does with other people and dogs, if she jumps fences, if she has anything special she needs with her like toys, meds, special bowls, etc. They’re very good about making sure every dog is vaccinated and have you upload current vaccination records. This is awesome because we know she is protected and safe. They provide food for boarding if you don’t bring your own which is nice. It’s so nice to know that our dog was well taken care of and not have to worry about her one bit when we go out of town. Their prices are very good and I truly think that our dog wouldn’t get better care anywhere else. We’ve now boarded her five times throughout the year from just one day to five days, and each time she comes home so happy and we can tell she’s very well taken care of. They always update us when we pick her up on how she did, how much she ate, etc. The staff even takes photos and shares them on the app so we can see the dogs playing with each other. Such an awesome touch! We will be using Diggs for all of our boarding needs and can’t think of a single reason why we’d go anywhere else. Thank you Diggs!!
My dog Benji is a very sensitive and loving dog!!! I was worried about boarding him for 3 days because he had never been boarded before!!! The girls at Diggs do an awesome job and take awesome care of him!!! Plus they post pics of your dog playing so you don't have to worry so much and you know they are being taken care of!!!! Thanks SOOOOO much!!!!😎
Thank you for taking such good care of Buddy while we were away ! We had just found Buddy abandoned just days before we had to leave for a vacation so we were extra stressed about leaving him . The girls at Diggs went above and beyond for my dog when he had to stay for a week knowing his situation ! Carol even took his blanket home and washed it when he had an accident on it! I work with dogs and can tell when a dog is stressed but Buddy came home completely calm and happy after his boarding . I will definitely use Diggs in the future! Highly recommended !
My dog was finally old enough to attend. Diggs was amazing! My puppy was so nervous, as was I. He was so well taken care of, he was happy and exhausted when he got home. We returned a couple of days later and our puppy again had a fabulous day. They care for each dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable. Take the tour! Check them out, such a great place! Update! Still an amazing place. I've been taking my boy for a year now and he is so well taken care of there!
The owner Michelle goes out of her way to make sure your pets are well taken care of. She has the best customer service I have ever received at any business. You can tell by speaking with her she truly cares about your animals and is passionate about providing quality care. She will ensure your dogs get the best care possible while you are away!
I'm honestly not sure why it has taken me so long to write this review. My fiancé and I have been sending our pups here since they've opened — and we all agree, we absolutely love Digg's Playhouse. The team is very knowledgeable when it comes to the wellbeing and safety of our dogs. Our boys love getting dropped off, and sometimes, don't want to leave! Brenden, Michelle, Kimber & Madi are all great to work with and you can tell they are all passionate about what they do. Thor (my mixed breed senior pup) is always hesitant around new people and he very quickly grew fond of the team here. That's how I knew he was in good hands! Zuko (our Bernedoodle puppy) loves every chance he gets to run around at Diggs and make new dog friends. We even get to see them running around and having fun on Digg's Playhouse social media platforms. We're very thankful to have a place close to home that we can bring our boys to. We're never in constant worry about if they're doing okay — that is always my biggest hurdle when dropping them off for boarding. I trust the team at Digg's Playhouse fully and am so happy to have a reliable place for our dogs to be cared for when we need it.
My fur baby comes home happy after every visit. The staff are super nice and do a great job wrangling so many dogs. Prices for day play and overnight boarding are very affordable, and the punch card option gives you a discount when you pre-purchase multiple day plays. Added bonus, there's a groomer on staff too.
**update Love Kimber and Maddie! Love taking my *now* 2.5 year old dog here! We brought our puppy here for boarding and we're very impressed with the facility and staff! Our puppy came home happy and we know she was cared for. We will definitely be boarding and using the other services again.
Nova and I LOVE the staff at AmeriPet!! 🩵 She is always so excited to go play with her friends. The staff are always excited to see her as well. She goes twice a week. You can schedule a spa/bath day also. They even celebrate her Bday 🎁 🥰 Thank you, THANK YOU for loving Nova! Best part, she sleeps like a baby on play days.
We love Ameripet. The staff is extremely friendly, and they take great care of my pets. I've boarded my two cats and one dog there one time, so far. They took great care of them. We take my extremely energetic Labradoodle there every two weeks for a doggy daycare visit. He loves it. The staff seems to like my dog, who is a large dog, and a handful. They are so good to him. My dog has doggy friends there, and he loves going. I definitely recommend this place.
They didn’t give my dog any of his toys! How do I know? I always leave my dog with treat dispensing toys at drop off. I shove some bread in the holes so the treats don’t fall out in the bag. When he comes home, the bread is always gone and the toys are always empty of treats. This time, the bread was still shoved in the toys as if they never came out of the bag. Like many pet owners, the thought of my pet sitting alone in a kennel with nothing to do for 3 days is heartbreaking. It also makes me question the other care my dog receives while there. I’m giving 2 stars because the staff up front always seems really nice and my dog comes home alive.
I just picked up my pooch this morning and they did a wonderful job looking after my boy Zues! The staff is incredibly kind and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. I will definitely be bringing him back when we're gone. Thank you Ameripet!
We took our boys there for boarding and play. We picked them up and found they had only gotten their medicine one day of their five day stay. We also found they had only one cup of food gone for each dog. We think they got the food the center provides despite being on the vet recommended sensitive stomach food (nobody could verify if they had been fed or what food was given). We discussed our concerns and they gave a partial refund and implemented a new medication tracking system which is why I gave two stars. Hopefully the new system prevents this from occurring to others.
They’ve been great to work with. We use them frequently for our two dogs and the service and support have been top notch. Happy to continue supporting them.
We were on a trip to Yellowstone and thought having our 2 small dogs closer to us would be better than finding somewhere close to home. This is the first time they have been boarded. I did not know what to expect and can only tell my story. The staff was super nice and the dogs were safe there which is why they have 2 stars. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to keep a dog daycare and boarding facility smelling good. There was not a poop smell which is good but the grooming/ bathing station is right at the front so wet dog is the smell. It is great they offer bathing before pick up. After 7 days it was a nice add on ($) because we still had hours to drive home. We brought our dog beds and explained at drop off as well as on the admittance form that one of our dogs is only 5 months old and chews. There is a camera system you can log into between 630 pm and 630 am. The website shows a nice private VIP Room which I paid for. This is what made me feel good about taking them there. I could not access the first 3 nights of their stay due to login errors. I was saddened when I did login. My dogs were on a concrete floor, had it not been for their little beds I don't think they would have anything. There was nothing in there but the blanket and toys we brought. They seemed depressed which I kind of expected. No matter how late we checked the lights were still on. So basically our dogs who are used to being cuddled up on our sofa with us were in a room that resembled a prison cell for 7 days with no dark time and of course constant dog noise. I inquired about the conditions. The reasons was that the young pup had started chewing the couch so they took all the furniture out. What kind of dog facility doesn't have an alternative solution? Our puppy daycare facility at home has big bulky playground items like they have on a preschool playground. Chew resistant. Also, 2 of the dog toys we brought had big chunks eaten from them which means our little dog ingested them. Common sense to me would be to take those toys out. This experience broke some of our dogs spirit a little. Some just by situation and some by the circumstances. Like I said, the staff was nice and our dogs were safe but if I had to fork over $600 again I wouldn't do it for the situation we were in. In fact I would have asked for a credit but was to upset to even talk to them about it. I truly hope others have a great experience here. We were not happy overall. One mistake I made was not asking to see the actual room they were staying in. The photos show the website vip room and the other photo is a screen shot of us watching them. I'm just heart broken. I'm not sure how to move forward traveling.
Our pups love going here. They walk through the door and forget about mom and dad. We honestly can’t see ourselves taking our fur babies anywhere else. Super flexible, amazing staff.
My dog always comes back happy from this place. Seems like he was well cared for while here. Word of mouth is big on this town... I've already been spreading a really positive word to all that I know about this place. I highly recommend trying this place out for your doggie sitting needs.
We have been boarding pets here for 20+ years. The staff are always great to work with and accommodate however they can. Our pets, including the two we have now love going there.
We have had Stephanie stay at our home twice now for extended weekends, and my wife and I could not have been happier with the care that our corgi received while we were gone. Our home was left in great condition and she sent us many pictures of her and her kids playing with our dog. We have used dog sitting apps in the past and had not so great experiences. It is a great relief that All Kritter Kare is in Idaho Falls. We would highly recommend this company for anyone that requires any dog sitting needs. Thank you Stephanie!
Kim took amazing care of our 3 cats while we were out of town for several days. I have a senior kitty that needs medication twice daily and she was able to take care of this need very well. She also was thoughtful enough to bring in the mail and some unexpected packages that arrived while we were out. My fur babies can be very shy around strangers but they warmed up to Kim really quickly. She also sent lots of pictures and updates to give me the reassurance that they were doing well. I will be using her services again!
Kimberly took exceptional care of our lizards while we were out on vacation! She is very kind and attentive to requests and has lots of experience with pets. Everything was super easy, she was always on time, and everything was smooth, from picking up the keys to her following our cat dietary needs. We would recommend her services to anyone and would definitely reach out to her again in the future.
All Kritter Kare has now taken care of my for a few months when I have needed to be out of town. I was first introduced to them when I was put in a tight spot with a trip that had been planned for months and my pet sitter backing out on my a couple weeks before the scheduled trip. They were awesome!! Stephanie came to my house introduced herself and found out exactly what I needed her to do. She listened and really got to know my pets. She listened to my concerns about leaving them and made sure that while we were gone I received updates and pictures. I would recommend All Kritter Care to anyone who needs to leave there pets, no matter if it is overnight or for a week.
All Kritter Kare was FANTASTIC for our multiple kitties, including one that needs pills poked down her throat twice daily. They were prompt with coming at the same times each day, and made sure all the directions were followed carefully for the different pets' needs. We highly recommend their services, and will use them again!!
Kim is an extremely reliable person, she took care of our 4 dogs as well as we take care of them. She was on time and kept us informed every time she was here. She made a special trip to meet the dogs so they would be used to her before we left. She will be the only person we call for care of our pets. Thanks Kim for the awesome care you've given our pets.
When I usually travel away from home, I have friends who are willing to take on the responsibility for my (multiple) pets; however, this time it was two weeks away, in a seriously different time zone, and I needed someone who could keep my animals on a specific schedule. I have one senior cat who is diabetic and needs insulin shots, twice daily, 12 hours apart. Like clockwork, twice daily, I received text messages from Jessica detailing the excellent care she took of my pets. She's dependable, responsive, and respectful of my requests and my home. When I arrived home my pes were only marginally excited to see me because of the wonderful job she did taking care of my furry family. I would gladly use All Kritter Kare again and request Jessica if given the option. The only reason I could not provide feed back on the "good value" is that I did not consider using any other services. Thank you for allowing me to really enjoy my vacation with my son!
Kim came over to take care of our 4 cats and our dog for a few days and she was awesome. Sent me picture updates twice a day on her visits and made sure my zoo was taken care of and happy. We will be using them again!
Kim is beyond amazing!!!!! I cannot even begin to describe how much she helped me with my pets. I had to be out of town for a long period of time and she loved my pets like they were her own. They absolutely loved her too. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. I was able to 100% focus on what I left to do knowing they were being taken care of. She sent pictures from each visit and even FaceTimed with me so I could talk to them. She was in constant communication. I will use her services every time I am out of town or even just need someone to check in on my pets.
I have been a client of Kim's for a few months now for regular daily walks and now, pet sitting over the holidays. Kim really does great with our two dogs on the walks, she's incredibly reliable and professional. She did pet sitting for ten days and she went above and beyond! My poor dogs got digestive trouble from some food and she was so good about keeping me updated, ultimately taking them to the vet, and cleaning up the messes that happened. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about her service. Don't doubt - just do it!
This is the second time that we're boarding our doggie here, and probably won't be the last. Great service and extremely friendly! Our doggie was happy to come in, wagging her tail, so we can only assume she liked to be here!
I absolutely would recommend Megan’s Boarding. I left my German Shepherd in their care for 3 days. I was apprehensive about boarding her because we had such a bad experience at another kennel. However this was a completely opposite experience. She was so well taken care of. She was clean, happy and healthy when I picked her up. I added a few extras…homemade meal at night, extra playtime, extra cuddle time…so worth it. I’ll not hesitate to book with them again if I need their services.
The owner was kind and friendly, and we felt like she took good care of our doggo (we had to board her for a week while we were out of town). They had cuddle services and other add ons, and they sent us pictures of our dog on one of the days (they said if we wanted more pictures, we could call). Great service!
We have boarded our dogs previously in very expensive places. We paid for washing and clipping everything came back smelling gross like dogs .. we had to literally bathe our dogs clean and every single thing that was there. They are super short hair so there should be zero reason they came back smelling gross. And they were locked in kennels most of the day they were sad … the entire place smells like animals and they need to clean the entire facility. I will never take our dogs there again.
This was our first time ever boarding our dog and they failed to email the instructions beforehand. We bring our dog to drop off and they turn us away for not bringing vaccination papers. Way to really screw up people’s vacations.
In September 2018 my puppy got sick.. I didnt have the money to take her in for a complete exam. So i called and told them i get paid the next day but there is something wrong with my pup... If its just a cold or something like that she could wait till the next day but if its parvo she cant wait.. So how much to only have a parvo test done $40 so i got that together and took her in. They fit her in between appointments... And test came back positive for parvo... Very nice ladys.. So they keep her over night and gave her iv antibiotics and iv for hydration.. Said i could pick her up about 4ish the next day.. So i went the next day and picked her up... They were very concerned about my other 2 dogs and explained in detail what i needed to do for her and how to keep my other 2 safe.. I took her home and took special care of her for the next 6 weeks.. She is now almost 3 years old and wouldnt even know.. I was very happy with the female vet that was there... They saved my baby... I have moved away and im thinking of going back here in the next couple weeks to have her spayed.. I thought it would be pretty cool to take her back there so they can see her.. I even sent them pictures about 6 months after we left thanking them again for saving her life... And here are a couple pictures of my beautiful shadow girl..
I've never had a bad experience here. I've taken one dog in for treatments in a hyperbaric chamber, and I've boarded a dog there. They seemed attentive to my animal's needs. He had a lot of medications and medical issues, and I would hand write out a lot of instructions for him because his medications got adjusted a lot so the instructions on the bottle frequently didn't match how he would need to take them at the time he was boarded. I don't have any complaints about Northgate.
I'm the third generation in my family to use Dr. Stone and have always been very pleased with the care my pets have received. He is always so patient and caring and always takes the time to let my dog get to know him before he begins his examination. He is never rushed and takes his time during our visits. It's great to know that whatever the problem is with my dog that he is going to get the best care possible. I'm so grateful to have such a caring and knowledgeable person taking care of my dog whatever problem arises. Concerning the people complaining about the receptionist Joann I agree that at times that she may come off as grumpy but she is only concerned about your pets and if that hurts your feelings so be it, she isn't there for you because you're not at a doctor's office for yourself you are at a veterinary clinic to care for your pets. She doesn't care how your feelings are because after all she is there to help ensure that your pets are getting the best care possible. That's what they are supposed to do so deal with it like a grownup and take it as constructive criticism so you can help your pet like you are supposed to. My son just moved back home from out of town and has two dogs that he is now taking to Dr. Stone so we continue on with a fourth generation now taking our pets to Dr. Stone. Thanks Dr. Stone for all you have done for us and our pets through the years. You are a great man as well as a great veterinarian.
We recently moved to the area and ended up going to Dr. Stone after doing some research. It was a decision that we have been extremely happy with. His receptionist, Joanne, also manages the office and is great to work with. Had to put our cat down yesterday, first time for me, and they were very compassionate, stayed after hours to allow some grieving time. Beautiful people and we asked that he not retire until our dog has passed, that is how much we love them! I've never written a review but this one was important to me in hopes that it might help someone if they are in search of a new vet.
We LOVE Dr. Stone!! My family has gone to him for years. 2 dogs, both living to 16 and 17, and 3 dogs right now. When we had to put my first dog down, he was very sweet and respectful of the situation. He stayed after hours so we could be alone and grieve. He is a great and attentive vet who answers any questions you have. He helped my husband and I a lot with some basic training as well. A woman recently sold us a puppy who was very under age, and he helped us know how to take care of him, and how to get him to eat. He even gave us literature on how tonproperly crate train! Dr. Stone and his receptionist are also very helpful when it comes to questions over the phone about the health of my dog. I currently live in a different state and drive to Idaho to have him care for my dog in non-emergency situations. I highly recommend him!
