Cat Sitters in Northfield

Not the most glamorous of places, but they treat our dogs well and the fact that they are also a Great Pyrennes rescue is a plus. We haven't bought a pass to the dog park yet but keep meaning to. Wouldn't let anyone else board our dogs.

Had my boy stay night there and I called to check on him. They said he was running around with the other rescued dogs and having fun. My favorite photo they sent me of him.

This place is run by true dog lovers, the pricing was very good, I know the dogs were able to run around and have fun while they were there and when we picked them up they were very well groomed for a great price as well! We drive all the way from Cicero to have them watch our dogs. Great place!

Our dog loves to come here when we are away and they take personal interest in your dog. Great care and good people who run. Very affordable. Had them give our Blaise, GSP a bath and he smelled so good for at least a week later.

Would not consider going anywhere else. My dogs are like family and they absolutely love going to Bed and Biscuit where I know they are treated just as I would treat them! I have a dog with special needs and the owner and staff are well aware of her and her requirements. All of my dogs love playing with the other dogs in their playtime outdoors or in the doggy daycare. Half the time when I come to pick them up I am not sure that they are really ready to come home. I never need to worry about taking them back or anxiety level about "going to the kennel" as I know that they are in great hands.

We brought in our woolly mammoth Bandit for a bath and grooming and came home with the most handsome boy. You performed a miracle with this wild man and we most sincerely appreciate the time and care you gave in caring for him. We could never say enough about your boarding and grooming services. We know that we never have to worry about him in your care. You treat everyone’s precious pet like your own, like family! Thank you so much! Ken & Laura Christy

The groomer was really nice, and they got us in last minute. Our dogs bed was torn up by another dog though and her blankets and toys were soaked and she's not the type of dog to knock over water bowls. Unsure how another dog was able to destroy her bed.

Can't tell if they really take good care of my dogs or not. The place seems dirty. Neither dog ate any of the food we sent during their 3 day stay and the one had diarrhea when he left (didn't have it going in). I'm assuming it's because he didn't eat, but hard to tell. I prefer PetAgree, but they won't take my pit bull.

We have only used the dog park ($45/yr) for our boxer. We have not boarded here. Here is a summary of our experience: Submitted application via the website. Didn't receive any follow up for ~10 days, so we called. Left a voicemail. Waited a few days. Called 3-4 more times. This should have been our first clue, but we are new to the area and really wanted to find a local dog park. Went there on a Saturday morning. As we went inside the office, there were 4 dogs that appeared to be the owner's dogs (behind the desk). They were barking so loudly that it was difficult to carry on a conversation there. Finally got her to look up our submission from the website. She said "I haven't checked these in a while..." That should have been clue #2 for us. While the girl running the register was doing our paperwork, I saw her ignore several phone calls (picked up the phone, looked at the number, put the phone back down without answering). As a customer, this was frustrating, as I know she ignored my calls for the past several days too... We got our key. We went to play in the dog yard, and there are 2 sides. Both are extremely wet and muddy (one side has a lake and a lot of standing water in the grass, other side has a sump pit and lots of standing water too). I can see why there are so few people here, as the place is a mud pit and not well taken care of. Again, we tried to give it another chance. Next visit I noticed some trash and started trying to tidy up the place. I found the following in the play yard: 1) Boards with nails and screws in them 2) Bare electrical wires sticking out of the ground 3) The play area requires a key card to exit; I'm not sure if that meets code, because if someone had a medical emergency, they may not be able to exit. 4) Big chunks of a busted up picnic table 5) Chunk of pipe with a busted hydrant handle After only a few visits, I can tell that this place isn't for us. I need somewhere to take my dog to socialize, and very few people appear to use this dog park. Based on my exposure to the people who work here, they don't appear to have a passion for the job, nor are they doing more than the bare minimum. After weighing the pros and cons, we plan to take our dog somewhere else so that he doesn't get injured from their shoddy worksmanship in the play area, and so that he can socialize with other dogs.

my pup came home with wounds on his upper arms and feet. his once energetic personality has become a meloncholy one. he used to run at the neighbors dogs and bark incessantly, and now he hardly even wants to go outside. nobody even told us what happened, or that anything happened at all. they’ve left us in the dark about what happened to my sweet babe. don’t take your fur babies here.

Kim was great! I've had bad experiences with Pet sitters in the past, but she made me feel comfortable from the beginning and was reassuring. She sent updates of our pups while we were away and took great care of our animals. She kept her word and came when she said she would and for how long she said she would which was important to us. Letting a stranger into your home isn't an easy thing to do, but you can count on Kim to be professional and love on your pets! :) We will definitely be booking Kim again in the future!

We have a GSD and 2 Labs and have had Kim watch our pups over the past three years. We have only wonderful things to say! She is great with communication and has been very flexible with our changing schedules. Kim takes great care of our dogs and is very attentive to how they are doing, letting us know if there is anything that seems off. We trust Kim with our dogs and couldn't recommend her more.

We have used Kim’s dog sitting services several times now. She is very reliable and and we always know our dogs are in good hands while we are away. She sends updates and photos when she goes to the house which we appreciate so much! I highly recommend Kim!

I am so thankful we found Kim!! We have a pitbull and I was so excited to know that she had so much love for them!! When I saw her logo I was sold!! We have a Labradoodle that is super anxious when we are gone so I was super nervous to leave him!! Every photo that Kim has sent Tommie looks like he has a smile on his face😍 She has gone above and beyond caring for all 5 of our animals and her prices you can’t beat!! I HIGHLY recommend you hire Kim to care for your fur babies!! We have found our pet sitter for life!!!!

I used Kim for the first time last weekend. She was very professional and great with my labs. They loved her and behaved well with her. She takes her job very professionally and kept me apprised of everything going on as well as sending me pictures of my babies. I would highly recommend her.

Kim is amazing with my pup. She has watched her since she was 8 weeks old and now she will be three this year. I trust her with my dogs life especially since she caught that she was sick when I was away one weekend. She is amazing!! 5 stars

Kim did a terrific job of taking care of my pups during the day while I was away. She went above and beyond, spending time and playing with them. She left them a bag of goodies for each that I shared with them upon my return. They love the toys!

Kim is so great at watching our 15 year old Schnoodle! I love that she sends photos and updates on each visit!

She did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She gave me constant updates and made sure he was taken care of. Absolutely recommend.

I have two Himalayan Furr Babies, brother and sister, who are 18 years old. Cody has special daily medical needs where he requires inhaler treatments, ear and oral medications. Sophie also requires medical treatment via ear. I have a regular sitter but she was unavailable for an upcoming trip. I scoured google and came across Northside Pet Services. Based on the reviews I reached out to secure services. I was extremely impressed with the prompt response and assurance they could take care of my special needs babes. Upon securing their services, Sherri (owner) and Nancy (Pet Caregiver) came to my home for a visit prior to my trip. They spent over an hour getting to know me and my babes and their routine. Much to my surprise, the services also included watering my plants!!!! These are truly genuine people who care for animals and will treat yours as if their own. I really appreciated the daily status text and pictures they sent! If you are in need of pet care, I highly recommend this team!

First class integrity! While searching for pet care for my parents two elderly dogs, one of whom had recently developed a back injury, Northside Pet Services stood out as exuding the trust, integrity, and experience we were looking for, so I called and left a message. The owner promptly returned my call to regretfully inform me that the dogs lived out of her service range, then took the time to provide some information on how and where to refine my search to find qualified sitters. She then went even further and took the time to search her network, later sending me information for a couple contacts who provided service in our area. Through one of those contacts, we were able to find someone who lives close and perfectly fits the dogs' needs. This is obviously someone who puts the health of pets first and foremost! I would have complete confidence in Sherri and her sitters and only wish the dogs lived close enough to utilize them.

Northside Pet Services has been a wonderful care team for our furry family members when we are out of town. As our one dog has progressed in age, it has become too stressful for her to be boarded at traditional facilities, and finding Northside Pet Services to provide care in our home while we are away, has been a dream. It is obvious that the owner and her team care deeply for our pets, and always have our pets' best interest at the top of everything they do. Most recently we were out of town for 21 days and Northside Pets provided top quality care 3 times per day the entire length of our time away, and we did not worry once. They provided frequent check-ins and updates to us and when we returned home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Not only does Northside care for the dogs, but they also bring in our mail, feed the fish and frog, water our indoor plants, and they kept 25 pots of impatiens flourishing during a period of no rain.... all for no extra charge. I highly recommend Northside Pet Services and look forward to using them in the future.

I am so grateful to find this business. Our first consultation was perfect and helped ease my mind so much. We have a diabetic cat that needs extra tlc which has made getting away difficult for myself and my husband. Nancy was wonderful about communicating and she knew exactly how to handle each of our cats needs. She made both kitties feel extra special and spoiled while we were away and that was exactly what we needed!!! 🥰❤️🐾 Nancy was amazing and my fur crew was happy, healthy and I was finally relaxed and felt confident that things were good at home. We’re so grateful we found your team!!! 😃❤️🐾 Thank you again

Wow!! Finding Sherri and her team has been the best gift of 2023! Nancy has a way with our "socially selective" Cocker Spaniel - and we love the updates she provides after her visits. It really gives us peace of mind when we are out and about that they are looking in on Chewy!

Enjoyed my vacation knowing my kitties were were being cared for with love. Sherri was awesome. Thorough and Professional. There’s no pice tag for peace of mind. 10 out of 10 !!

I have been using Northside Pet services for my dogs since 2014. They are exceptional. My dogs are treated like part of the family and Sherri has become a dear friend. All sitters and walkers are loyal, trustworthy, and caring. I never have a worry when traveling and my dogs are in their care. I highly recommend for your pet sitting and walking needs.

We could not be more pleased with the care and love that our Toby gets with Northside Pet Services. We are so thankful for Sherri's skilled care and professional services and recommend her to our friends with pets. Toby loves going to her home and we see frequent pictures of him during his stay.

I am really happy that I found Northside Pet Services. We have an older cat who is a bit persnickety and on multiple meds so we have to be a bit pickier about who we get to watch our cat. During our initial meet-up, Sherri proved to be very informed on our cat's course of treatment and even suggested a couple of additional things we could do to help her condition. It is a real comfort to know that she really knows what she's doing and could easily pick up on any worrisome signs while we are away.

I have been a client of Sherri and Northside Pet Services for years and I have nothing but high praise for her professionalism, knowledge, and the phenomenal care she provides. She is a blessing and has always gone above and beyond. Her house is a home away from home for my dog. I trust her implicitly.

I take my 2 shih tzu to Emily for grooming. She does a fantastic job with them. One is very shy and the other is crazy. She is patient with both of them. She is a great at communication and does what is asked. She is the best. Front desk workers are friendly and professional.

I have been taking my dog there for boarding many, many years. I have moved since, and I am still making the drive even though it's now over an hour roundtrip, because my dog absolutely loves it there and I have never had a single problem. It's a big deal, because my dog is reactive to other dogs and he is very people selective, so he is challenging to deal with. As soon as he walks into the door, he runs up to the front desk to greet everyone. He turns from a dog that growls at most people into the sweetest, social butterfly with the staff (well, he still doesn't like the other dogs). This is truly the only place I trust to handle my difficult dog and I know that he really likes going there. In the 5+ years, we never had an issue giving us a piece of mind that when we are traveling that he is in the absolutely best place. I always laugh because I think he is the King of the Pet Palace over there.

They do a great job grooming my GSD every 6 weeks. All I got to do is mention the groomers, and he gets excited.

Been bringing my dog here for boarding and grooming. Emily does great on my Ella. Will continue to return there.

It been a couple of visits for the bording, and it has been a great experience. The staff loveu dog and take great care during his stay. They are reachable on the phone to know how your pet is doing and at the end they give you report cards on how he did day by day

The folks at Pet Palace are great and so helpful! Large, clean climate controlled facility with indoor and outdoor areas. Daycare is available, as well as boarding and grooming. Grooming appointments book about 4 days out. Boarding appointments can be booked online, over the phone or on site. They usually have coupons available in the ValPak mailers, good for daycare, boarding and grooming! Tours are also available.

Pet Palace is so great with the dogs and cats in their care. They make sure every pet gets what they need and provide daycare, boarding, and grooming services tailored to each individual. It's a clean facility with loving staff!

We've used this Pet Palace exclusively since we moved to Indy and never regret it. Our separation anxiety ridden dog (Squire) is always excited to go there, showing that he has fun and feels cared for and safe even when we sign him up for grooming! The staff have always been wonderful from drop off to pick up no matter how long he stays! We also super love the "report cards" that we get. Very cute touch!

UPDATE: unfortunately I wrote a very long update and it didn’t fit and got cut off and deleted so I’ll write a little bit here and then I was able to take a picture of some of what I wrote before it got deleted so check my pictures below to see the majority of what I wrote for the rest of this update please please read it it’s very important!!!! So the main thing to know is that this is a second date update I picked up my Great Dane yesterday on Sunday today is Monday and I am just leaving the veterinarian and I am in tears because my dog may die!! That’s correct you heard me MY DOG MAY DIE because of the people at Pet Palace apparently are not equipped to take care of my pet, he has a severe case of pneumonia and should have been taken to the vet within the last three days and for some reason was not. If you recall on my original review I remarked that my dog was making a hacking sound that I attributed to being thirsty, yeah not so much that was definitely a case of miss identified pneumonia on my part however after about three more times of that hacking sound I realized quickly, VERY QUICKLY that that was not just being thirsty and I do not work with dogs 24 7!! Today I picked up my Great Dane from a weeks stay at what was his first time at the highly recommended to us Pet Palace and I am shocked by the dog I am picking up! First let me say that I was bumped up to a webcam room which became both a nightmare and perhaps a saving grace of sorts because while I was constantly watching in shock at the treatment of my dog at least I could see it and call and ask for it to be fixed-sadly it never was. Mostly that consisted of him having no pillows or blankets so he was consistently lying on hard concrete which if you have a giant breed dog you know is a no-no also none of his other personal belongings were EVER put with him! I became a bit obsessive watching the stupid camera which wasn’t a great way to spend my vacation but when you see your baby constantly crying and digging at the ground and chewing on metal bars it’s heartbreaking! Now getting to pick up (things you can’t see on a tiny, glitchy webcam) my dog is completely skin and bones, he looks sad and awful! I understand that dogs don’t always eat normally when in the kennel but I wish they would have tried their own food brand to entice him or call me for God’s sake! Another thing, when I picked him up he continually made this hacking noise until we got home and then he straight booked it for the water, dogs may not eat but they typically drink. He also has a rather large cut on his back paw that could not be accounted for, which reminds me that the only one time I ever saw someone interact with him on the webcam he was completely cowered down which isn’t like him at all. One of the most heartbreaking things of all of this though was when I came to pick him up, as soon as he saw me he started crying then howling then shrieking-a sound I’ve never heard any dog make let alone mine and he literally was trying to get into my arms!! I did explain some of my troubles with the staff who offered me a free night stay- NEXT TIME! Are you kidding me? Umm no, we will never be back! I will take Mr Great Dane everywhere with me before I bring him back there!

I was so impressed with the facility but more with the people that worked there! They were so friendly and genuinely loved my puppers! My fur babies enjoyed their stay so much and I know next time I’m on vacation they will be taken care of very well!! My pups are my life!!❤️❤️❤️

As a protective pet owner, and coming from an industry where I took reports of incidents occurring at kennel facilities, I was very picky when it came time to choose a business to care for our dog. I stumbled upon Hunt Club Boarding Kennel while searching options in the area. I set up the free day-trial, and ultimately booked a weekend of boarding later on. The communication was quick and friendly, the drop-off/pick-up was easy, and Nala seemed very well cared for while she was there ! All employees I interacted with were friendly, knowledgeable about their policies, and handled Nala appropriately. The facility also seemed very clean and well maintained. Bonus points for being so reasonably priced for the area ! We have already booked another needed time frame, and plan to continue using Hunt Club. 10/10, recommend. (Pic just for attention)

Wonderful, friendly kennel with a great staff. They care about the dogs and do a great job for day-care and boarding. Responsive and responsible. Very safe and secure.

The wonderful staff at Hunt Club Boarding Kennel could not have been more accommodating…Their friendly demeanor was felt by me as well as my 13 year old English Springer Spaniel, Dixie. Dixie goes into panic like shakes just getting close to the vets office but she is eager and happy to go to the Hunt Club. I had to leave for over a month and was so worried about her care as she is kinda spoiled and very needy and likes to always be around people. She returned so happy and everyone at the Kennel made her feel like this was her second home. I highly recommend boarding your dog at this lovely location…

Travel has always held us back from getting a dog. We finally got a puppy this year and have boarded him several times at Hunt Club. Beautiful property. Nice, professional staff. Our dog is always happy, healthy, and well groomed when we pick him up. We can rest easy on vacation knowing our puppy is in good hands : )

I'm sure that this is a nice place, but I didn't get a chance to see it. Although the website says to "Come Visit Us Today" when you click location, they do not mean it. l was treated like a huge inconvenience for having the audacity to think that they could give me a two minute tour if I just dropped in. I ended up scheduling a tour a week out because any other time that I suggested (during business hours) was not convenient for them. I took my dog with me as a test, assuming that she would not be allowed in the boarding area. She was not greeted by the office staff and it was also mentioned that she would not be welcome for any tour. It just didn't feel like a place that wanted my business or enjoyed animals. I didn't like that my dog and I were treated like a nuisance. As a side note, I toured three other kennels the same day with no issues. 12/9 update After my initial review I was contacted by the owner and given a tour. The kennel area is nice, although different than many others in the area. Instead of having indoor space and an outdoor run in each kennel, Hunt Club Boarding Kennel instead only had indoor space. They do take the dogs to a fenced area to play and relieve themselves about six times a day. I decided that I liked that setup better. My dog spent three nights with HCBK and returned home happy and didn’t seem at all stressed. I would now recommend this kennel to anyone who asked.

I can't even begin to put into words how they have been there for our fur babies over the years. Even when our other two dogs were geriatric, they took extra care of them while we were gone. We never doubted they would be loved on. And with our new fur baby, they are just as sweet to him. We would highly recommend them. Love that they know us and our dogs.

I've taken my boxer puppy here for daycare. He's in love with everyone. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby

Love this place. They care about your pet.Have been 2 times to daycare and have boarding schedualed. So far a great place.

Scheduled a trial day for our pit and mastiff via phone for a week long boarding the following week. When we arrived to drop off the staff was very friendly and apologetic for the confusion on not having us in the system and on the calendar and gave me a tour of the facility. The guy who helped me get them checked in and gave me the tour was very nice and professional. As I was on my way home, about 20 min later, I got a call from the owner saying they have a policy against pitbulls and “our dogs won’t let the staff in the kennel and it’s just not gonna work” and said if I’m around and can come get them that’d be great. (Huffing and puffing as well like me and my dogs are such an inconvenience) The policy against pitbulls would have been nice to know when I called and gave them all the info on my dogs and scheduled them. Also would have been good to know before we spent over $200 having their shots specifically for boarding. I understand our mastiff gets very nervous and uncomfortable and I explained that to them when I dropped them off. I specifically said he needs lots of encouragement and to be built up. This is their first experience being boarded- of course they are nervous and uneasy at first. It’s not rocket science to try and get a dog to warm up to you and trust you. Maybe give them the peanut butter Kong that I paid for them to have? (I got my money back) but that would’ve been a good start. I understand there are reasons for trial days and maybe it wouldn’t have been a good fit. I am just disappointed that a “distinctive” facility wouldn’t have given it more than 20 minutes to let a dog relax. So basically if your dog will be at all nervous and bark at the people within the first half hour- this is not the place for you. The 3 stars I did give are for the young man that helped me and gave me a tour.

Best place ever!!!! Had a horrible experience at another local boarding place so this place was such a God send to us and our dog! They’re always way beyond friendly and efficient. I even had to keep my dog there past his original stay because of a family emergency and they accommodated us even though it was a very busy time and they didn’t have the space. Love this place! Thank you for being so great!

Darlene and Rick took great care of our dog Tucker for a long stay of 11 days. Tucker was happy and healthy and he clearly had a wonderful time at Almost Home! Darlene reached out with updates and she even gave Tucker a nice bath before we picked him up. Can't recommend Almost Home highly enough!

Kennel service for my dog AND cat! Very efficient, extremely sanitary, and well organized family run business. Always have answers and have been clear about rules, fees, and pick-up times. Be sure to confirm reservations as requested. Book well in advance, too. Most of all? Our pets look forward to going to Almost Home! A vacation for them, too! Our dog gets so excited, once we make the turn to the kennel, she starts to yelp and become giddy! She NEVER misses us! (Our cat just tries to act surly...not because of the kennel's great care...because she is a cat who thinks she has to keep attitude because we needed to board her. But we can tell she does enjoy herself, shhh, do not let her know we know! ;-) ) Photos of our dog 2 miles from Almost Home, she is realizing where we are headed!

This is the best kennel that I have ever used over the past 30 years! My dogs get so excited as we pull up for their drop off and look so well cared for when I pick them up!! I couldn't ask for more!!!

Wonderful experience with Almost Home for several reasons - caring owners, convenient location, well-maintained and clean facility. We are so happy with the care our dogs received while staying at Almost Home. We have used other larger kennels in the past and our dogs would come home having lost weight, stressed, and tired. Our dogs came home from Almost Home happy and excited, rested and well fed, and they smelled great. We have already booked with them for all our 2024 travel. Highly recommend.

Couldn't have been happier with the care our dog received. We have tried 3 different kennels in the Northern Indy area and this one was by far the best. Our good boy was in perfect condition and health when we got him after his 4 night stay. Incredible value, too.

Almost home boarding kennel is the very best kennel!! Rick and Darlene are amazing! At other kennels our dog would get sick as soon as he got home from all the stress....not here!!! Coal came home clean, happy and healthy! Thank you Rick and Darlene!

Almost Home is by far the best boarding in the Carmel/Westfield area!!! They always take such great care of our 2 boys: senior dachshund and young mini Aussie. Our dogs have stayed with them 2 or 3 trips now. Both of our boys have extreme separation anxiety and one takes medication twice a day. They are always really happy and clean when we pick them up which is the complete opposite of what they were like when we picked them up from another nearby kennel. We are tremendously grateful to find Almost Home and would trust them with all of our fur babies. 💛

I have boarded my dogs here many times. Only place I will use. Darlene and Rick are wonderful people. They have indoor/outdoor runs for all dogs. You can get outside play time for your dogs too. Their home is attached to the kennel so there is someone there all the time. Especially at night. I hate places that leave all the dogs alone over night, very scary to me. I highly recommend Almost Home for your pet boarding needs.

If you are looking for an amazing experience for your pets, this is it! We moved cross country and our pet transport was being difficult to work with. They called out of the blue and said they had to drop off early. When we called Almost Home they were unbelievably understanding and without asking said they'd do anything they could to help us knowing the situation, when they didn't have too. Then, when we went to get our dog (had a car too), the pet transport somehow let our dog get sprayed by a skunk. We called Almost Home and they immediately researched how to get rid of the smell and ended up giving her two baths and cleaned the tags, etc for us. Again, they went above and beyond what they had to do. They could have easily said, "Sorry, we can't have her (or the cat) now," but that's not them at all! When we had to extend the stay by a couple of days due to delays with our home, again they were unbelievable. This will be our kennel forever. You absolutely couldn't ask for a better kennel for your pets. They are responsive, very communicative and always want to do what is best for your pets. Oh, by the way, they also have great tips for traveling if you love history! Your pets will absolutely love their care!

This is an amazing place! My English Bulldog isnt a pet, he is our baby! Rick and Darlene made us feel at east leaving him. They allow a tour before booking and are very thorough in everything they offer. Our bully is on lots of meds and they cared for the med distribution without extra fees. Very clean & no smell. We will never board elsewhere. This is the first time we have ever boarded that I actually didn't worry about him the entire vacation! Highly recommended facility!
