Cat Sitting in North Fryeburg

We've boarded and groomed our dogs at Karla's for many years. They are wonderful, caring people who truly love animals. The accommodations are excellent, clean, and spacious. When our dogs return from Karla's, we tend to sit around the fire listening to them reminisce and tell stories about all the new dog friends they made (and the old dog friends they had a chance to catch up with), which is nice.

We have used Pet Rendezvous for several years with our old lab, but then he passed and we haven't been back for a bit. We now have a puppy and I am glad to see that the daycare is still as good as it was. The staff at the counter was friendly and gladly gave us an update when we called to check-in on our baby. Our young lab came home tired and happy. What more can you ask for? I do miss the old report cards, but I'm sure it was difficult to do for a bunch of dogs.

We brought our 1-year old husky here for grooming... and his coat was a total nightmare. He got quilled a month before and his coat got matted and destroyed, way beyond something we could work on. They fixed him up completely and must have been very kind and gentle with him because he's a shy boy but he seemed totally happy. Really awesome experience with a REALLY tough case!!! Would highly recommend.

They are always super friendly, efficient, and prompt when we call and drop off the dogs. We never have any issues booking daycare. One of my dogs is anxious and needs slow intros and can be nervous around new people and he is always excited to be at daycare. They give us a detailed description of the day and how the boys did in the pack. The prices are very affordable and they offer a military discount. They also updated their hours recently to accommodate those of us who work early.

My dog loves to come here while my family goes away. Always eats well and the staff will even take daily pictures and text them.

Long story short: DO NOT leave your cat there. The place is dirty and reeks of dog. The staff does not know how to handle a frightened cat. I left my guy there August 5-8, and I am still kicking myself for not turning around and leaving the moment I walked in the place. If you want the long story, here it is: I needed a place for my cat, Purr, while I was in town for a conference. I should have known I made a bad choice when I walked in to a bad smell. There was a hint of bleach behind your basic feces/urine/dog kennel odor. Purr was scared, so I asked if I could help get him settled. They hesitantly allowed me to do that. The cat room is not at all what I expected based on the description and pictures on the website. It is not separated from the dog area as the description states. It is in a separate room, but you can still hear and smell the dogs. The ‘cat condos’ are hard laminate without anything soft for the cats to lay on. I took a towel in for Purr to have something that smelled like home and then they offered to put a cat bed in for him. That should be standard practice. Purr was hissing and growling, so I went to see the ‘cat condo’ to get him settled in. I asked them to let him come out of his carrier himself. I sat with him for a few minutes. He was still not coming out of the carrier, still hissing and growling. The handler who was with me didn’t seem to understand my instructions to allow him to come out himself instead of forcing him. I told them to wait until he came out on his own, no matter how long it took. The handler seemed puzzled by my instructions. When I picked Purr up, I asked if I could come back to the cat room to collect him myself. They said they had worked with him and they could do it. I know they man-handled him into the carrier because I heard him screaming and screeching. 😭 He was in terrible condition. He smelled like the kennel and urine. His coat was a mess. He had a glazed look in his eyes. I immediately went to Pet Smart and got dry shampoo and wipes. The soft-sided carrier I left with him reeked of urine and kennel. I had to go to get bleach, go to the laundromat and wash it. Purr and I have recovered, but it is the worst experience I have ever had with a pet. Never, ever, leave a cat there.

I brought my Copper here for a 2 night stay. It's Copper's second time here. When we arrived, I asked if Copper's nails be trim. By the time I arrived at my destination, I had a email from Pet Rendezvous saying they scheduled a nail trim for 7 am the next morning. I had to cut my trip short, which cut Copper's stay short too. I called to let Pet Rendezvous that I was going to pick up Copper early. It was no problem. They did a wonderful job in trimming his nails. I trust them with my furbaby💜

We love North Conway so were so glad to have found this lovely place for our pup to get the puppy vacation he needs too! Our Pumba is always excited to see the staff, and has had a healthy, safe, and fun time. We sign up for the text pics and love seeing him having a blast. Great, clean, safe place for your pups to stay!

We can’t say enough about Pet Rendezvous; the staff are all pet oriented, energetic, outgoing and attentive. Our two Maltese stayed in daycare for a week and boarded a few nights while we were in the area while we were exploring in our Airstream travel trailer. They were always happy to go inside and see their friends., you can see it on Finn’s face in the attached pic! We used their grooming services for bathes and that was a good experience also! Thank you, Vickie and all the good folks at Pet Rendezvous.

My puppies love this place They do grooming nail trimming play with the dogs and even give a military discount I've been here three or four times so far and every time I pick up my dogs they are really happy and when I get home they fall asleep quickly because they're so tired from playing all day. Will continue to bring my puppies here for doggie daycare I think they offer packages as well.
