Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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!!
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.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
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!
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 Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $14/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We absolutely love this place for our pups. I don’t trust many people watching my babies but they make it so easy for not only me but for my pups. They get so excited to see the staff and I know I can check in anytime to see how their stay is going. The staff is amazing and I cannot thank them enough for taking my pups last minute when I had a medical emergency. Definitely would recommend them to anyone!
Rocky, my GSP loves this place. The place is very clean and there is a lot for him to do there while he is there. The staff treats your pet and you like your family. Their focus is on taking care of your pet and not making money. I can't be any more satisfied.
We have been taking our 3 dogs here for grooming and nail trims for several years. They are wonderful, patient, and they always do a great job on our girls! We had one incident where we weren't happy with a grooming session. They told us to bring our dog back out the next day and they fixed the cut so that it was much better looking at no additional charge! They are truly wonderful and if I had to leave my dogs for an extended stay I know I could trust them to take good care of them!
I don't have enough good things to say about the kennel! My three dogs LOVE going, whether it's just for a few hours of daycare or a week of boarding! They love the staff there and always come home happy and exhausted. Play time in the yard is their absolute favorite! One of my guys is rather difficult for nail trims, but Ashley always gets it done! If you need a place for your animals to go where they will feel at home, look no further! Included a photo of my good boys in their matching bandanas after their last boarding stay ❤️
Balto loves being at daycare more than being at home! They treat the dogs so well and are reasonably priced. He comes home exhausted every day we take him! He passes out on the floor and I nearly forget we have a dog!! Rare for a husky to be that calm so it's safe to say the amount of exercise and fun he has is well worth $15 a day❤ even if he comes home super dirty and smelling like pee
Best kennel and grooming ever! Kristen and her wonderful team do a fantastic job of taking care of our furry loved ones! We love Whispering Winds! ❤️
My dog Pretzel LOVES it here. Staff is super friendly and I'm always surprised they know mine and my pup's face without introducing ourselves. Pretzel gets loads of exercise at daycare and great socialization. We had a great experience with boarding her as well with very reasonable prices
Great place to bring your animals for daycare and boarding! I can't say enough good things about the girls that work there, they're all so wonderful and so kind to your pets!
This was this dogs first stay. They have been great with our previous dog and did great with this one too.
The owner and staff at Whispering Winds are truly amazing individuals. They care for your dog as if it were their own. We have boarded our dog here multiple times and taken advantage of their doggie daycare program as well. Our dog is always so excited when we turn up the drive as she knows that she is in for a great time when she is there. They are my best recommendation in the area!
I have been going to Duffy's for 16 years, Maryann is wonderful with my little Bailey. My Toy Poodle looks like a Professional Show Dog every time we leave. I can't say enough good things about Duffy's!
We have a total of 4 dogs, and I took 2 in today, that were in immediate need of a good groom. They had mats from playing in the woods, our crick, and just from us merely not taking the time in the last year to take them to our usual groomer. Upon picking up the dogs I couldn't have been more impressed with how much hair she was able to leave on them speaking how bad the mats were. I highly recommended Collett, she was beyond pleasant and I left with 2 happy, well groomed, pups. I will be taking all our dogs to her from here on out, and would highly recommended her to anyone.
I'm so Blessed to have found Maryann to help watch my dog when I'm not able to. My dog has been quite a challenge to raise. He is a very large breed, with a troubled past. He can be intimidating to strangers. Maryann speaks a language to my dog that I only wish I knew. I'm confident and comfortable leaving him in her care. I hope writing this review doesn't help so much, that she's unavailable when I need her. But Maryann definately needs an applause for all she does .
The absolute greatest groomer and boarding facility. Mary-Ann is extremely acknowledgable about all different breeds. Our pup actually gets excited when we pull into her driveway. It is a huge comfort to know when he needs to stay away from us, he is in loving, caring hands at Mary-Ann's
Mary Ann is awesome. Our dog gets excited when I say her name and when he's going there. We're so GLAD we found this kennel!
An amazing place. Friendly and professional... and our dog loves to go there. You won't be sorry, but usually books 2 weeks in advance, so call early. 😉🐶🐕🐩 …
Owner is very compassionate and gentle with older dogs. Had a beautiful large shepherd mix, 13 years old. Bad hips and couldn’t stand long enough for normal grooming. Took 4 hours to groom Abby as Marianne gave frequent long rests and sometimes had to groom Abby with her laying down. Abby always looked great afterwards. Sadly my sweet dog was put down because of these bad hips. Highly recommend.
If you actually care about your dog do not use this facility. We called Saturday to check on our AKC pure breed German Shepherd and they acted like they had no clue what dog we were talking about. The listed emergency contact them went to retrieve her and their was no one to be found all the dogs were locked in a kennel with no lights, this was the same scene I found when I showed up at 1pm to get my dog it took multiple calls to finally get a call back and when I picked her up I was greeted with nothing but attitude. On top of everything our dog stink to high hell as if she was wallowing in her own mess all weekend. Would definitely not recommend ever for the low price I guess you get what you get.
The best!! My baby loved his stay and was cleaner than ever! His teeth are so white, his hair is soft and bright.. we'll definitely be back!
I absolutely love Duffy's. She is willing to keep our Yorkie any time we need, even if it is last minute notice. She offers grooming services and puppy daycare. She has kennels for extended stays and a shop full of products for dogs and cats.
I have used this camp bow wow for 2 years on any time I needed my dog to stay. The people were friendly and welcomed him every time I dropped him off until recently when they showed true colors. Recently they hired a new staff and mistreated my dog the last 2 times he has stayed there. Both ended with me picking him up and immediately taking him to the emergency vet with puncture wounds and infections. Leaving me with over $2,000 in medical bills for my dog. The most recent time when he was picked up he was soaking wet and bleeding heavily. The employees seemed to hose him down with water (explaining him soaked), but when I picked him up they acted as if they had no idea what happened. When I tried to get ahold of them the owner ignored my calls and visits to the camp for a month and a half before I got a call from a employee saying they can’t do anything to help. They took 0 responsibility for what happened at their camp. If you choose to use the camp they communicate extremely poor and if something happens won’t own up to their mistakes. Goodluck.
We boarded our dog at this location and loved being able to watch her play with the other dogs. She had a great time. The staff was wonderful and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you all for taking such good care of Crosby. We will be back later this month for another stay.
They are so great here. We routinely use Camp Bow Wow for boarding and grooming. Megan does an amazing job and really knows how to tailor each dog's look to match their breed and personality. She always goes above and beyond and will do anything she can to fit you in the last minute.
We find the Cranberry facility friendly, trustworthy and welcoming. We are able to rest easy knowing your team is taking care of Maddie while she is there. The boarding and grooming services are first rate.
Our dog loves staying here. We use Camp Bow Wow whenever we go out of town. Staff are friendly, facility is clean, and we haven’t had any issues in the 4 years we’ve been coming.
Lacey Mae is a senior gal who needed a place to hang while the humans went to work. She has found a family at Camp Bow Wow and gets lots of attention, socialization and stimulation to keep her aging brain engaged. Camp Bow Wow does a wonderful job to include the humans in their camp fun with their monthly activities and events. We are truly happy with the care Lacey Mae receives as an Unlimited Play camper Mon thru Fri. At the end of the day, she comes home eats and falls asleep in her chair. Thanks Camp Bow Wow for providing such great care to our sweet Lacey Mae!
I appreciate the workers who met me at the door with smiling faces and reassuring words. I had never left my dogs with anyone, and it wasn't easy for me. Additionally, I liked the ability to use the cameras to look in on them from time-to-time, while I attended my event.
Everytime I bring my dog Pedro in i’am greeted with smiling faces and love for my dog .I enjoy watching the tapes while at work and seeing my Pedro chase bubbles ,interact with the staff and playing with the other dogs !!!He comes home a very sleepy boy I recommend this amazing place to anyone who needs a daycare or a place to stay for their pupper !
We feel great letting our dog stay at camp for a day or a weekend. We love seeing him on the cams playing with the other dogs. We got his nails trimmed there as well. Great service.
We ended up moving last summer and could no longer use camp bow wow in cranberry. Forgot to give them a good review before we left. They are the absolute best. If you are in the area and looking for a trusted place to watch your dog, you can be rest assured they will look after your dog. Our dog cooper loved it there. We moved an hour south and couldn’t use them anymore. Highly recommend
Dog cameras at day care facilities are not only for the “cute” factor. They help facilitate peace of mind for dog owners and observation of care levels at a center. The only very small window to observe the dogs is shown very briefly at the time of viewing at unleashed and that’s it. I don’t think one can possibly judge anything. Therefore, I don’t want to let my dogs care be a mystery Cameras are a necessity!
Someone on the Nextdoor app posted a photo of a dog outside by himself, in a fenced area in the rain, crying, when she arrived to pickup her own dog from Unleashed. She said this was last Friday. She told the employees about the dog, and the female employee responded “oh that’s because it is pickup time.” The other employee walked outside. She thought he was going to bring the dog inside but he didn’t. He was just leaving for the day. If that was my dog, being ignored, in the rain, alone and crying, I would be infuriated. Update to the owners response- Well, the dog was definitely unsupervised in the picture. And like my review says, this person said the dog was outside by himself crying.
Great, knowledgeable, and super accommodating crew! My working dog has a history of tough kenneling experiences, and she normally is a mental mess coming off of a boarding stay at most places. She seemed to have tolerated kenneling here much better than anywhere else over the years. We'll definitely be back.
We love bringing our boy to unleashed! We take him here for boarding and grooming! He comes home exhausted every time! There have been times we needed to drop him off for an emergency boarding and they take him in with no problem as long as they have room! The staff are very great! They are always very nice and show that they love the pups! They also have training and grooming! We recommend unleashed to everyone!
Took my dog for her 1st haircut and was a little nervous . The staff was super friendly and did a great job. Put all my worries to ease. Highly recommend. Will be back
We just used Unleashed for boarding for our dog Marty, and they were great!! My dog has never been in boarding, so I was nervous, but everyone was friendly and put my mind at ease. We will definitely be using the boarding again. Thanks so much for taking care of him!
I’ve taken my dogs here on 3-4 separate occasions over the past 2 summers for boarding only. It seems as though they take “ok” care of your animals. I can’t tell you for sure because we never get any updates relating to the dogs, even though I have asked multiple times during drop off if they’d be able to send me updates in any sort of way. Call, text, email or on their online website. They say they will, then never do. They have a tab on their website to view photos/videos of your dog and a tab to review their “report card”, not one photo has ever uploaded to their site or anything added to their report cards. Since no one has ever contacted me in any sort of way with an update on how the dogs are doing, I called the facility myself and asked for an update for our most recent stay. I didn’t even get to say our dogs names before the woman on the phone rudely said “they are doing fine”… I was taken back by this as she didn’t even know which dogs I was calling for. For just a few nights, it can get pricey, and I would like to know if my money being spent is worth it. The communication here is definitely lacking. Both of our dogs can be very anxious and scared when going to places like this and this facility does not give me peace of mind that my animals are being well taken care of. When we pick up our dogs, both of them pee like they haven’t been let out all day to use the restroom and both come home smelling like urine. I’m not sure we will be bringing our dogs back. I am definitely in the process of looking for a new boarder as this one hasn’t met the standards I am looking for.
Staff went above and beyond!!! I had 2 Boerboels boarded. One of my dogs was older and became ill during boarding while we were on vacation. The staff kept me informed and cared for him even taking him to seek vet care, twice! I was very impressed and satisfied with how they handled his care during the unfortunate circumstances.
I will never take my dogs anywhere BUT Unleashed! The team there is amazing. They watched my 5 dogs on multiple occasions and each and every time we (and the dogs) leave extremely happy. All 5 of our dogs are rescues and have their own quirks but the staff here handles them like pros and it’s never a bother to them! I was worried that they’d be a handful but the 4 employees I met were so happy to do it and it was nice to see that everyone that works there truly loves animals and cares for their well-being. Two of my dogs had a scuffle this last time while boarding and the team at Unleashed was quick to respond, take one to the vet to ensure that it was an artificial cut and quick to call and inform me. They took care of everything promptly and professionally. They take the time to get to know your pet by interacting with them daily. It was nice for them to know all their names and personalities. When we picked the dogs up they were freshly bathed (MUCH appreciated) and so happy…you could tell they had an amazing time at Unleashed. Thank you to the staff for everything you all do to take care of our family! Will always recommend!
I have been taking my dog for training here with Cecil for over 13 weeks. We LOVE it!! Cecil is great. His no nonsense but caring demeanor has not only made my dog better but made me a better dog parent. We can’t wait to continue our learning journey. Thank you for all you do!!!
My pup was well taken care of during his stay at Sandy Hill kennel. He was returned to me clean, happy. Why do they charge just to be playful with the pups? They charge to pet them, cuddle them, show them attention during the stay. I find it hard to understand that!
I highly recommend Sandy Hills Kennel!! My dogs always have a great time and come back happy and healthy! I love my evening report cards on how the dogs are doing.. always makes me feel like they are well cared for. And Jessica did a great job grooming my doodle!!
We have brining our dog to Sandyhill her entire 11 years and staff truly care and are all so friendly. Facility is spotless and my dog seems very well cared for when we are away!
First grooming visit and we’re highly impressed! We got the Spaw day package which included nail grinding, tooth brushing, and a “blueberry facial”, on top of a bath that left them smelling like oatmeal cookies 😍 Two happy dogs! Tinker hates having her nails cut and I’m glad we found a place that would do it with more kindness than our vet!
Unfortunately, I have to give them a two star review after being a client of theirs for years now. Last Saturday I got my dog groomed there the following Friday he started sneezing, so I took him to the vet and they said that he has kennel cough, even though he is vaccinated. I called them to give them a heads up that it could be going around the kennel. All they had to say was “thanks for letting us know” and hung up the phone. They did not ask me how my dog was. They did not apologize for it even though kennel cough is something you really can’t prevent from happening. I completely understand that the kennel cough is out of their hands, but maybe they need to start making sure that every dog is vaccinated and up-to-date on their shots.
Charlie loves his stay with the staff and all the dogs. I've been a customer for many years. The kennel and staff are wonderful. Years ago, I had to put down my basset hound Wellington. The staff was there with loving support. Sandy Hill is family.
Absolutely love the groomers at Sandy Hill! I have two Saint Bernards that are quite large and they do a wonderful job managing them and giving them a beautiful spa day. I was able to buy the girls an adorable treat when checking out. They loved it.
Dash is 15. Sandy Hill has been his second home for 14 years. I feel confident leaving him and he’s excited to get in to see his friends. He always needs a nap when he gets home. Staff is friendly and efficient - groomers are excellent, too. Highly recommend!
Grace is the groomer we had and she is excellent! Shiloh (sheltie) hadn't been there for a while and even though we brush him every week and do his nails and etc. he just did not look as good. His hair was thick and course. When Grace got him groomed he was a very happy dog. He felt so much better and looked beautiful. I've have been coming here for years and never been disappointed.
We have been bringing our dog to Sandy Hills Kennel for almost 3yrs now. Not only are we happy with how well there care for our dog, so is she Perianna!!
When we started to plan a trip to Italy, I couldn’t get too excited until I knew who would watch our dogs. Our regular sitter could only cover the first several nights, so I had to find someone to cover the rest of the trip. I looked for hours to find someone who meets our high standards and could stay at our home, especially since we would be an ocean away. Once we did a meet and greet with Gabby I knew she would be perfect. Our dogs loved her and she sent us tons of photos, videos and updates. There is no doubt these pups had constant love and attention. I never had to worry about them which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. When we came home they were calm and healthy. I would not be able to say that if we left them at a kennel. We feel like we made a new friend and am so happy to know I can trust her with our kids. Our home was clean and all secure when we returned, what a great experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Salute!
I don't even know where to begin. Let's just say I have two high maintenance dogs, one being elderly and one being a Jack Russell (enough said on that one!) I always struggle to relax when I am away, because the older dog has separation anxiety, and at nearly fifteen years old, I know her days are numbered. It is hard for me to have peace of mind not being able to be the main caretaker of her. Then I found Gabby. I have never had a vacation where I was able to relax and not be worried about how everything was going at home. Gabby went above and beyond, even with the crazy medication and supplement schedule I have the senior gal on, and the demanding nature of a high drive breed. She sent updates and pictures every single day. I did not have to wonder what was happening or how everything was going. I honestly could write pages about how amazing our experience with Gabby was, but let's just say this.. BOOK HER NOW. I'm already looking for dates for vacation next year so I can be sure to have her in advance. Could not have asked for anything more from her at all. If I could give an infinite amount of stars, I would!!
I have 2 tiny dogs that have super sensitive stomachs and eat 4 times a day. I had to travel out of state for almost a week and was extremely preoccupied about leaving my 2 little ones. I found Melrose pet resort, and let me tell you that Gabby is the most amazing, comprehensive, and pet lover dog sitter you could found. She took care of my babies like they were hers, she went above and beyond to accommodate them so they could be separated from bigger dogs, as I asked, they could have their meals at their regular schedule and she also kept updating me constantly with videos and pictures of my little ones. They had such a great time with her, got to make a few little friends that were staying at her place, and even participated in a Christmas photoshoot!. She gave me piece of mind while on my trip, and I definitely will be using her services next time I travel.
I cannot recommend Gabby and Melrose Pet Resort enough! As a bulldog owner I’m always looking for the best care possible since our boy tends to need a little extra attention, and we absolutely found it with Gabby. She followed our directions to a “T”, and went above and beyond. She also sent us videos and updates throughout our vacation, putting my mind at ease about how our boy was doing. She also took great care of our home while we were away. Gabby is the best and we can’t wait to plan our next vacation and get on her schedule!
Gabby’s attention to detail is on another level. She did an amazing job with our dog, Remi. He is a creature of habit, and his transition from us being out of town to Gabby staying with him and taking care of his routine was seamless. She thinks of everything to ease your mind of what is going on. Her love for animals is apparent, and I appreciate that so much. Remi has specific medications that have to be taken, and I was not worried about Gabby covering everything perfectly. All the wonderful pictures she sent was a bonus, she should consider being a pet photographer! Thank you so much for taking care of our spoiled boy, Remi!
I cannot rave about how great Gabby and Kris were with my dog! Being a sitter myself I know I can trust them with my anxious little boy going forward. I have never left my dog with anyone but my family before and him being an older and anxious dog I was not sure how he’d do. But almost immediately Gabby and Kris made him feel so comfortable and right at home. He received all the attention and affection he needed and I also received all the updates and pictures I needed to know he was doing great. Knowing how well he was taken care of now makes me wonder why I was even worried about him to begin with! After this stay at Melrose Pet Resort I can now look forward to my upcoming trips and enjoy them worry free 🤩🥰
If you want your fur family cared for in the most transparent and considerate way, book with Melrose Pet Resort! Gabby was prompt, communicative, and attentive. During our 9 day vacation we were nervous to leave our shy cat alone since this would be the longest time away. We expressed this to Gabby, who reassured us before and during our trip. She listened as we oriented her to our home and pet. She sent so many lovely pictures and videos while we were away to reassure us our pandemic pet was doing well. Upon our return she checked in inquired about feedback! LGBTQIA++ family friendly pet sitter.
Talk about an AMAZING dog sitter and person, Melrose Pet Resort is a far better pet sitter that I ever came across. I came from out of state, and we were recommended to Melrose Pet Resort while we look for a home. Contacted her and immediately got a quick response. I never in my life have as much interaction with her as other dog sitters in the past. I have a Deaf dog and one with diet needs... Gabby constantly send photo's and video's of there activities, and I could see how happy my fur babies were. She is very personal and active with my pets and I am excited to have her again and as well as Chico and Bella. I am glad I am moving to Florida knowing when I need Gabby again, I will never have to worry about my fur babies again, knowing they will be in great care.... WOOF WOOF APPROVED
Hands-down, the best pet sitter I've ever had the honor to work with. It was like leaving the dogs with a family friend. If I even had the slightest worry about them or their care, it vanished in the rain of delightful photos and videos and the constant updates about breakfast, dinner, lizard hunts and games of Ball. It is just possible that my dogs had a better time than I did while I was on vacation. They stayed in their very own room, in crates for everyone's safety, but were out and about quite a lot of the time (certainly WAY more than they would be in a kennel or daycare) and they were treated like family. They got to "help" make dinner and cuddle on the sofa and watch TV. Obi even got to chase MANY BALLS AT THE SAME TIME. Heaven! Obi and Ursa can't wait to stay with Aunt Gabby again!
We recently put our baby Jasmine here after searching for a boarding facility for weeks. And I can't say how happy we are that we decided to choose Melrose Pet Center opposed to one of those facilities. Not only did she get personalized care, she got love and affection the entire time. We know so because Gabby sent us updates daily; mornings, afternoons when she could, and night. She sent Pictures and videos and Jasmine looked like she was having the time of her life. I also loved the cute bandanas she had while we got the pictures. We were even lucky enough to get a pic of Jas with Santa in their home (Thanks Kris!! Lol). Jasmine also enjoyed playing with her dogs, tiring them out all day! If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! Thank you again for treating our pup like she was one of your own!
Nikki is always so welcoming, we are greeted with her warm friendly smile and most importantly our fur baby is happy to be in her care. Nikki was up for the special care required for our senior dog, she has shared updates on his staycation with text messages photos and videos which provide us with the peace of mind knowing that he is enjoying his visit with her. I would definitely recommend this boarding kennel to anyone wanting excellent care for their furry family members. Here is a sample of the update photos of our sweet old beagle during his last visit. 🍁
She is very good with my dogs, she sends pictures and keeps me updated on how they are doing. They get excited when I take them back for another visit. She is also very good with her customers. I recommend this place to anyone!
Nikki is the absolute best! She treats your dogs like her own and does everything she can to give them a comfortable stay. My one dog has cage anxiety and can be dog aggressive, but she always does so well here and has even made a doggy friend or two. I wouldn't kennel anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!
I've taken my pup to Nikki a couple days a week for the past 6 months while I'm at work. I trust Nikki completely and she takes such good care of her. Her hours are very convenient and pricing is very fair. She's very knowledgeable with animals and has so much love for what she does!
We love the Purrfect Place! Nikki is so great with our dogs and easy to talk with. She takes a lot of pride in caring for your puppers. We never feel like our dogs will be neglected when we drop them off. Her pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend Nikki and the Purrfect Place.
The Only Place I Trust Taking My Boys! Nikki Is The Absolute Best In Making Them Feel Right At Home! I Always Enjoy My Vacations Knowing Theh Are Okay!
Our dogs love it at Nikki's kennel. I have taken my dogs to her for over 11 years. I would recommend going to her kennel over others. Our dogs enjoy their stay everytime.
Nikki is the most friendly, caring, accommodating, and loving care giver! My family and I appreciate the photo texts of our doggos while we are away 💕 10/10 - I fully trust the staff and know my pups are well taken care of!
Nikki is super awesome. I traveled from out of town, and she was very accommodating to my schedule and needs. I am always nervous about where my baby stays, but from the pictures she sent me everyday, and seeing him making new fuzzy friends, put me at ease. I definitely will bring him back when I come back into town. Thanks Nikki
Nikki is truly gifted when it comes to pet care. I don’t trust anyone else with my pup!
I’ve boarded my Dixie here a few times and she loves it. I actually live in South Hills Pittsburgh but the drive to Natrona Heights is so worth it. I love that they post pictures each day so I can see what my pup is up to. The facility seems clean and well-kept. The staff is quite friendly as well and I always feel like I’m leaving Dixie in good hands. When I pick her up, she sleeps the whole ride home because she’s so tuckered out from playing. I tend to worry about my pets when I’m away, however when I board Dixie I don’t think twice about it because I know she’s having a blast. I highly recommend Pittsburgh Paws!
This place is absolutely wonderful. They take great care of the animals, seem to really care and it's very well organized and structured. My pup returns home completely exhausted. Highly recommend.
I’ve been taking my puppy to Pittsburgh Paws for daycare since she was 5 months old and I won’t take her anywhere else!! She loves going to play with her friends and in the pool all day! She plays all day and sleeps all night. They post pictures daily so you can see what your puppy is up to! The staff is absolutely amazing and they all treat Ellie as if she was one of their own. Highly recommend for boarding and daycare!
I highly recommend Pittsburgh Paws Pet Resort NH! We have taken our border collie there for about three years and have never had any issues. Our pup loves it, wether we take her for daycare or boarding! She has some anxiety but when we take her she’s completely comfortable and happy. She loves all the other dogs and climbing on the big rocks. There’s plenty of space for everyone to run around. Plus they got new turf that looks amazing! The staff are fantastic and the management is outstanding. They have great communication with us, are super personable and have so much love for our pup. We love seeing the photos posted on Facebook of our girl having the best time, especially when we’re on vacation and miss her! We truly feel she is safe in this environment and cared for. Oh! and we like to sometimes purchase an exit bath, highly recommended!
Highly recommend this kennel. I trust them with our three dogs. Super easy booking, register your dogs on line. Friendly courteous staff. They upload pictures to Facebook almost every day. We choose to schedule an exit bath which was free because the dogs were there more than 7 days. All three of our dogs were allowed to play together. They provided us a report card to tell us how they did!
We have been taking our young Labrador Retriever here for over a year and a half. I can’t tell you enough how kind the entire staff is. Rosie absolutely LOVES going to day care and also has kenneled many times while we were on vacation. As a veterinarian I realize the importance of routine socialization as well as play. It is an integral part of “being a dog”. I recommend Pittsburgh Paws to as many clients as I can. I appreciate all the team members. Keep up the great work!
Our cats had a blast here! They had the time of their lives. They were taken great care of. Plus, the photos they took were awesome.
My pup LOVES it here! She plays all day, I can tell cus she passes out as soon as we get in the car to go home lol Staff are always friendly, helpful and polite. Owner is awesome! HIGHLY reccomend them for day care, boarding, and baths!
We were so nervous to try a new daycare for our baby, Aiden Oliver, having moved over an hour from his first and only one. However, Pittsburgh Paws is amazing!!!! The property alone is gorgeous and the facility feels and looks very clean, both inside and out. Fun colors inside too, very fresh and modern. No smells at all!! Friendly staff always. Prices fair to me. Aiden comes home absolutely exhausted (but he doesn't stink!!) and we just know he had a good time. We will continue to use and selfishly hope they don't get too big :)
Amazing pet resort. Our pup loves it here. She's always excited to see the staff, they know her by name and treat her like their own. Our pup is always tired after playing with all the other pups.
