Mary was the perfect house/pet sitter. She took great care of Talula and our house. She was calm and resourceful when needed and seemed to have really bonded with our dog. Talula was happy and fit when we returned after 2 months. Mary left the house super clean, texted/emailed us as necessary, and sent pictures of the dog — all much appreciated. We couldn’t recommend Mary highly enough. Faith and Eric

She did a great job of caring for Tuk. When we got home he acted as if we really hadn’t been gone which really demonstrates how well he was cared for while we were gone. She left our home tidy and Tuk happy. She was able to come the night before and was able to get to see our dogs routine prior to our leaving which was a great help. She was even willing to accommodate an unexpected showing of our home while we were gone. All in all a great sit!

Connie and Marty did a great job with little direction. Remi and the house fared well under their watch. Only sorry we didn’t get to spend more time together before we left or upon our return. Recommend 👍

Crystal was easy peasy, and ravioli seemed happy and healthy when I came home. I received photos each day and a video to confirm the clean apartment on her departure. Thank you!!

Sam did a wonderful job watching our home while we were away! He sent updates about our cats each day, asked questions if he couldn't find something, and left the house very tidy when he left. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a house sitter and he's welcome back to our house any time!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Almost Home Pet Motel. Our pups, Zadoc and Duke, absolutely love spending time there. From the moment we arrive, their tails wag with excitement, knowing they're in for a great stay. The accommodations are fantastic, providing a comfortable and safe environment for Zadoc and Duke to relax and play. The staff's dedication and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction, ensuring that our pups feel right at home.What truly sets Almost Home Pet Motel apart is their excellent rates, offering exceptional value without compromising on quality. We appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing Zadoc and Duke are well-cared for while we're away.Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch care and a welcoming atmosphere for their furry friends!
We dropped our dog off for a few days. He was great when we picked him up. He seemed to have a good visit by his actions. We've tried other places and to us this seems to be the best.
first rime boarding with Almost Home I have 2 dogs and one has high anxiety I had meds for her stay as needed called to check on how they were doing and they assured me they were doing very well and didn't need to give the medicine, I was happy to hear that, when I went to pick them up they smelled Great was very happy fur babys !!! Love this place they will only be going there every time. Thank You for taking care of Maggie and Gunner Smith as if they were your own !!! Tina Smith💞
We picked up my dog who was elderly and already had problems with his hips and found that our dog had been attacked by another dog. We had to take our dog to the vet and he was in very very bad shape. I asked the vet repeatedly if he could’ve done that to himself and she told me multiple times that there was no way, and that another dog had attacked him at the boarding facility. Of course the owner denied this and I expected that. I also have a nice big fat $500 vet bill. All I could do was stand in the veterinarians parking lot and cry at the thought of what my dog went through at this facility that I Trusted. I feel this owner of the facility has no right to own a boarding place for any kind of animal.
This is the one youre looking for!!!! This is just one wonderful place! The dogs are well cared-for and (even) spoiled by Tiffany. It's hard to trust people these days, especially with something so special. I hate to leave her, but.... I can't see myself using anyone else, now that I've found her. THANK YOU ❤️
You lied about another dog attacking a lady’s dog and then when posted on your fb page you deleted it… I can promise you I’ll never let anyone I know take our animal to you… then you denied it after she was told by two vets the fact you’re ok with sending that dog home in that condition n you don’t feel some type away or any remorse for that poor dog… makes me wonder how other dogs are treated in your care
Was very nervous about boarding my 2 year old for the first time. This place came highly recommended to me. Owner was so nice. She assured me they would take good care my dog, and they did. Would recommend this business to anyone. BTW...they have individual suites.
My 3 year old Pitbull that I adopted from the animal shelter has stayed here multiple times happy as can be runs into the place kisses the owner my Great Dane pup that a year old has stayed multiple times never no problem...All dogs not fit for Kennel life some are some not but my Dogs love it come home happy ❤️ evertime
My daughters' and I were going to Texas for a week, previously I used Sawgrass Kennels for my 7 yr old puppy, but that's only been for overnight stays and a max of 2 nights. She has bad separation anxiety, as well as kennel/vet and new people anxiety so I hate to leaver her. Normally I have to give her something to calm her and still end up carrying her in, but this time? My girl did really well! She walked in by herself and didn't seem too badly anxious. The owner was super nice and promised to baby her like I would. I picked her up today and although ready to see me , she seemed happy and had a good time. I think we found a new out of town home for her! ❤️
I do dog boarding and am very selective where I board my dogs. I have boarded my dogs here a couple of times and they are great people to board with! I had 2 older male Belgian Malinois the first time and they enjoyed the indoor suite for their stay.. Now I have a Belgian Malinois and a Husky and they are young and very active. They got to try out the indoor/outdoor kennels this time. I believe they had a great time. Tiffany does a great job with dogs, Big and little. This is a great place when you need a home away from home for your pets when you travel.
They are the absolute best!! It was our first time leaving our sweet boy ever!! They really made us feel comfortable with leaving Tex anytime from beginning to end!! ❤️❤️❤️
My wife and I had to travel from upstate SC to Decatur on short notice. They worked our MAX in and took great care of him while we were there. I wish we had a Ruff Inn It near us
I'm very happy with this facility. When I walk in I'm always welcomed in. We take our new puppy a toy Aussie to doggie daycare. The staff love her and take incredible care of her. We needed to go out of town for Christmas and she stayed for a week. I called and checked on her and she did great. They gave her a bath so she was nice and clean when we picked her up. The staff even noticed her nails needed trimming so they took care of that as well. I highly recommend them for your fur babies!
I loved this boarding/daycare facility! We were just passing through town and going to the local zoo and needed somewhere to keep my pups (three border collies) just for a few hours. The front desk crew was very nice and the owner was accommodating. Definitely recommend calling a few weeks ahead of time just to get everything squared away (i.e. vaccines, dates available). I did not get a call back from the owner previous to our departure, so I ended up calling a few days ahead to make sure everything was still good and it was! I would also like to mention I am very caution with my pups and asked if I would be able to walk them and see where they would be staying and they said it was 100% okay. When we arrived everyone was very nice and allowed me to walk back with my daughter and dogs in tow to their kennel. It was clean and didn't smell and was not a traditional kennel to my happy surprise. The experience was amazing and I highly recommend this adorable dog boarding/daycare facility. Thank you for taking good care of my pups!
The staff took excellent care of Max and Gary. They are the best! I highly recommend their services to anyone.
The place is clean. If my dog gets dirty they will clean her up for me. I never worry while she’s there because everyone takes such good care of her. My dog loves going and comes home so pooped every time she goes. Everyone remembers myself and my dogs name. Overall I just feel so welcomed and taken care of here. Great place!!
I've seen some negative reviews of this establishment that are just ridiculous. Upon closer inspection, a couple of the 'reviews' appear to come from perpetual chronic complainers who have nothing good to say about ANY business. So alright then...I will speak of MY experiences. This is a wonderful local establishment. I've boarded at least one of my cats there, over night, and the cat condos are roomy and clean, with a view. The entire establishment is very nice, clean, and smells wonderful. At least in the lobby area. Yes, some of the staff are young, but they are employees just like any other, and unless you're there 24/7 standing guard over them, how do you know they're 'constantly on their phones', or 'ignoring the animals'? And if you've got time to stand watch, why are you bothering to board your pets? I'm sorry, but petty, chronic, worthless complainers aggravate me, because all they do is tear down good businesses. The prices are extremely reasonable, and I have always been treated very courteously by staff. The only thing I have ever had issues with were a couple of the groomers. The one I really liked, unfortunately, left. And there was one I absolutely DIDN'T like, and thankfully, she is no longer there, because she had a terrible attitude. But aside from that? Zero issues. I would never hesitate to board any of my pets there.
It’s ok. My dog likes it. Me, not so much. Dog comes back pretty gross with urine on her body and with injuries ever so often. Kind of tired of it. When I ask about injuries they have no idea what happened. The urine that she comes home with have it all over her chest and up her legs as if she is stomping in urine all day. Take her in clean and have to give her a bath most days I pick her up. I would prefer to take her daily to day care but don’t want to bathe her everyday. Wish the environment was kept cleaner so that she isn’t getting so dirty. I don’t need other people invalidating my experience. I give excellent reviews all the time on google but when you are disappointed you should make a point about it or it won’t improve. My dog is so happy to go and to see the staff but it’s too inconvenient for me most week days.
We are pleased with this place. Our pet has gotten used to the setting and staff. They give her a bath, which is much appreciated. They will clip our pet's nails when requested.
Amazing! First time boarding my Greyhound, we went in for a tour, super clean, very professional staff. Went in later that week for a play day to make sure my Grey was comfortable. I was nervous leaving her there (boarding in general) because I have never left her alone. I received text messages throughout the day letting me know she was fine. Booked her a weekend stay and could not be happier. Highly recommended!
Stopped by to see if I could get Buddy's nails clipped, and they were more than happy to accommodate me on the spot. So happy with this place, always have been.
We randomly made a last minute appointment for grooming while in town visiting family for the holidays. Our pup left with a Christmas bag including homemade treats, a photo ornament and new toy! Above and beyond what we expected - and our 🐾 girl looked gorgeous too 😊 Thank you! …
Wouldn't take our dog anywhere else! Completely trust them with her. Mary Ann and her staff are super friendly, they love our dog and make sure she is very well taken care of when she's there. Very clean facility. Hands down the best!
Country Paws is so good with my dogs! They're my babies but they don't mind me dropping them off there. The Christmas gift for each of them was a very special touch! Highly recommend them!
We love Mary Ann's Country Kennel. They keep a record on how I like my dogs trimmed so I don't have to remind them each time. It only takes a couple of hours and we can pick up our dogs. Last place was taking 4-5 hours. Also, very kind groomers. They come to our vehicle to pick up dogs because of Covid.
First time with our miniture schnauzer pup & he looks and smells amazing!! They did a cut/bath/nails/ear cleaning....I will definitely recommend to my friends/family as well as continue scheduling all our future grooming appointments with her and very sweet, friendly and caring staff.
We have taken our dogs there for years. Always a great experience. Nice cut and they are gentle and loving with the animals. Very accommodating.
Great place with excellent people!
I will be forever grateful to the staff at Country Paws. They did not have room for Zuma, a Great Dane, over a weekend. She was scheduled to be there the week before & the week after. I was out of state at my father’s bedside. He passed away on the Saturday. Had they not done so. I would’ve been 6 hours away and not at my fathers bedside with my mother as my father passed away.
Was so happy with the service. Everyone was so friendly and my Bella looked great!! The Christmas bow was an extra touch that i loved. They go above and beyond!!
Kaitlyn welcomed my dogs like they were her own. Every picture they are smiling or playing with other dogs. The daily updates kept me in the loop and reassured. The mediation and food instructions are followed exactly. They are so much more comfortable than they have been in a kennel. This is like home.
We love Keen on Pet Care! Our dog Zoe goes to doggy day care with Kaitlyn a few days each month. We always get the cutest pictures of her hanging with the other dogs. She always has the best time there. I love taking Zoe to Kaitlyn's because I know that she is safe and well cared for.
Our dogs have gotten the BEST care from Lora at KEEN on Pet Care. She sends us updates and loves our pets like her own. This week, one of our dogs was sick and she went above and beyond to care for him. We are so thankful!!
We use Keen on Pet Care's Doggy Day Care service regularly and have done several overnight boardings. Every experience has been fantastic, our dog is always excited to arrive and worn out when he gets home. Highly recommended!
We have two very picky, very needy Italian Greyhounds and they LOVE their sitter. KEEN does a great job matching pets and owners and sitters, and we couldn’t be happier. (Disregard Vinnie’s side-eye in these pics from their latest stay - that’s just him.)
I love being able to take Billie to KEEN on On Pet Care! She gets a home atmosphere with lots of love and attention, and she meets new friends 🐾. I get the peace of mind that’s she’s well taken care of and also updates and pictures while she’s there. KEEN On Pet Care is the only place I trust to take care of her when we travel.
Our family loves Keen!!! Kaitlyn and Duane are two of the most friendly and trustworthy people. Our dog’s tail starts to wag as soon as he sees their houses. It makes going out of town or a long work day much less guilt inducing when we have to leave our fur baby. Their text updates make our whole family smile. Very thankful for Kaitlyn and Duane!!
I am thrilled with KEEN on Pet Care!! My two dogs were taken care of for 8 days while I was out of town on vacation. I didn't have to worry about their care at all! I received text updates every day, and they were safe, happy, and healthy while I was away and when I returned home. I am so thankful for KEEN on Pet Care, and am excited to work with them in the future!
Our sitter is amazing and my boys love her! The service is so easy to schedule with and billing is very straightforward. Our sitter not only loves on my boys when I’m gone but provides me with peace of mind with updates and pictures.
Great experience!! I can’t express how grateful we are to have found Keen on Pet Care. Kaitlyn was wonderful and put our mind at ease knowing our fury angel would be loved and pampered when we have to be away from her. I really appreciated the pictures and updates as her visit went on. Run don’t walk to Keen on Pet Care. This is coming from very picky pet parents. You won’t be disappointed!! Peace and belly rubs. 🐾❤️🐾
