It was a pleasure to have Cindy care for my cat Stella while I was away on an unexpected last-minute trip. Cindy sent frequent updates and photos, which provided a great comfort to me since I had only been home from a long trip 3 days before suddenly having to leave again. Stella seemed quite comfortable with Cindy's company! I returned home to a relaxed kitty and tidy apartment. Thank you, Cindy!

Shauna was a wonderful house and pet sitter. I got occasional photos of Buzzi (the cat) -- enough for me to see that Buzzi was very happy. Periodic updates from Shauna revealed no problems. The house looks great; now I just have to keep it that neat and clean.

Hi! I am Olivia, and my partner's name is Belrie. We look forward to meeting you
I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.

Caring, responsible and reliable house and pet sitters since Nov 2020
Once again, Todd and Janis were wonderful sitters. They were easy to communicate with, sent adorable photos, and took great care of our home.

I've lost track of the number of times Jasmine has house sit for us. As always she is reliable and responsive. I know my house and pets are in good hands with her. She is a great communicator. We came home to a clean house and happy kitties. I highly recommend her!

Solo sitter with the need to please loving animals while their owners are away.
This was the 2nd time Brandi housesat for us. She did an amazing job again and when I got home, I couldn't even tell that she has even stayed in our guest room because she is so neat! She kept me posted about all of our pets and sent photos. I would definitely trust Brandi to take care of our pets and home again!

Experienced pet and housesitter, trustworthy, conscientious and caring
Judy is clearly a pro at being a housesitter. She was super communicative and sent us frequent pictures. She kept our home tidy and took great care of Lola. In fact, on a last-minute notice, she was even able to stay an extra night due to a disruption in our travel plans. Five stars all around.

Olive can be a bit shy with some new people but April quickly won her love. Can’t thank April enough for her care of Olive and our home. Great communication, left our place clean and tidy with a very happy pup. Would love to have her again anytime. Thank you, April!

What a great experience we had with Lisa. She was so good with Cella. She was very tolerant of Cella's early rising. She's a tiny little thing, but has a big personality and knows what she wants. Lisa was so good at reading her needs. We were able to have a zoom interview with Lisa before we confirmed the sit. She stayed in touch with us daily and kept us updated on how things were going. When we arrived home, Lisa had washed all of the bedding and towels. She vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. We couldn't be more pleased with Lisa as our sitter for Cella. We hope we'll be able to have her again. She was awesome.
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands! Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking. We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

We recently used Happy Paws Pet Nanny for dog sitting services while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Our two dogs, Benji and Diego, were in wonderful hands the entire time. From the very beginning, the Happy Paws Pet Nannies were incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. The team took the time to learn about our dogs' routines, preferences, and personalities, ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. We received regular updates, including lots of photos which put our minds at ease while we were away. Benji and Diego looked happy and relaxed when we returned, which is a true testament to the quality of care they received. It's clear that Happy Paws truly cares about animals, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you're looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet care, we highly recommend them!
I was skeptical because we had a bad experience over the summer with a dog boarding company in Gainesville. They came for a meet and greet and were detailed with questions I didn’t think of and pictures of where things are. I was really impressed. The dog walkers are amazingly thorough with detailed accounts of visits with numerous photos. After the first visit report and pictures, I can honestly say my anxiety level dropped dramatically and I felt like we made a great choice. We had an emergency at our house while we were out of state and they took care of our house and pets. I felt like they were family caring for them and we never used them before! The previous owner of Happy Paws was our neighbor and we loved her but this was so above and beyond not only expectations but what they were hired for. I’m no longer worried about going out of town and finding someone to watch my animals. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the people working here are and how grateful I am for them.
If I could give this company 10 stars, I would! This was our first time using a Pet Sitting company, and Happy Paws didn’t disappoint one single bit. We have 5 sweet fur babies and they are a lot of work and care. We were gone for 8 days across the U.S, and these girlies did an amazing job with our crew! I absolutely love the detailed updates after each visit, the photos of our animals, and how easy it was to access everything! Our pets were in amazing hands and so well taken care of. I can’t rave enough. We will be using Happy Paws from here on out whenever we need to go anywhere. They truly care about your pets and the well being of them. Highly recommend and will always spread the word about Happy Paws!!
Excellent online interface for requesting service. Wonderful pet care givers! Our labs love getting their mid-day play time and walks with the Happy Paws staff. And we love getting the emails after each walk providing puppy status and pix.
We've used Happy Paws for multiple vacations, and we have friends that have as well. I know our dogs benefit from staying at home instead of boarding, and I'm always happy with the service. They communicate very well, they're flexible, and most important of all, they care. It's not much more in cost than regular boarding for this area, and in addition to taking care of your fury friends, you have folks monitoring your home, bringing in mail and packages, taking out trash, watering plants etc... It's worth it for you and your pets!
I couldn't be more thrilled with the care my two dogs received from The Happy Paws Pet Nanny over a long weekend! They treated our fur babies like their own, providing exceptional love and attention. From regular updates to ensuring their comfort and happiness, it was clear my dogs were in the best hands. Coming home to happy, relaxed pups made all the difference. I highly recommend The Happy Paws Pet Nanny to anyone looking for top-notch, compassionate care for their pets. We will definitely be using their services again!
I highly recommend Happy Paws to anyone needing vacation care for their pets! We just came back from a week-long trip and had Happy Paws caring for our 2 cats and everything went perfectly - They provide complete peace of mind with their thorough updates and many many pictures from each visit, and they are also super responsive if you message them about anything. You will be 100% comfortable leaving your fur babies at home in the care of Happy Paws!
Happy Paws Pet Service is the absolute best pet service I've ever used. The staff is professional, caring, friendly, and quick to handle unforseen issues. Highly recommend!
Absolutely perfect service! We are brand new to this area and we’re stressed about a trip we had to take. We found happy paws online and from the first intro visit, we were thrilled with what they had to under. All the Nannie’s were very timely and spent lots of time loving on our pups. They updated with pictures on every visit and made us feel so comfortable. They brought in our mail, wheeled down (and back up) the garbage cans, tidied up the dog’s dishes…anything we needed, they were willing to help with in addition to the multiple visit each day. We will absolutely use Happy Paws again and very highly recommend them to anyone!
After searching for a place to board our dog when we have to travel. We found the perfect place that we highly recommend. The Happy Paws Pet Nanny. Happy Paws tending to our Pitbull/Sheena as if she was there own made our trip stressless. It was stressless because we didn't have to worry about her having anxiety, because she was allowed to be at home in her own comfort, due to Happy Paws Nanny in home service. While on the trip we received updates after ever visit and photo's of her and she received a lot of love. If you're looking for a place that's going to treat your fur baby as their own and you're looking for a place that can come to you. The Happy Paws Pet Nanny is your place!!
I will always trust and choose Alpha Pet Resort as the place to take care of my precious kitty. They updated me very well and took fantastic care of her in all ways and she was very comfortable there! I won’t be nervous if I ever have to board her here again. <3
5 Stars across the board! Clean, friendly, priced fairly and flexible hours. Rich, their dog trainer was amazing! We brought our 10-month-old lab who had more energy than you would believe! She is a sweet girl and very smart but needed structure and obedience training badly. In 15 days, Rich turned her into the dog we only could have dreamed of. He took time to train her, train us and answered every question we had. I would recommend Alpha Pet Resort to anyone and if you’re looking for a trainer, don’t waste your time looking any further than Rich! Down to earth great people who love animals and only want the best for them and their owners. Thank you Alphas and a special thank you to Rich!
Alpha is THE BEST! No stress while I’m on vacation because I know my two Labradors are being well taken care of! They get plenty of exercise and come home happy and tired from all the fun! I highly recommend 😊 …
My boy Wasabi loves it here and the staff are great! They love him too, so much so they didn't want him to leave :) Will definitely bring him back if I need you guys. Thank you so much for taking care of my stinky guy!!!! Pics included because no one believed he's unhinged at home 🤣💜
Our poodles truly enjoy their spa day and all the special care and attention they receive. When we pick them they are gorgeous and happy! Rosie and Rex
We are always grateful for the care given to our precious pup when we are away. The staff is well-trained and careful with instructions.
I have a extra large dog that has been to alpha several times for grooming. I always tip very well when I checked out an paid the bill. All summer I tried to get a grooming appointment and was told the owner hurt his arm and he wants to be there because of my dogs size and cutting the nails is a challenge. So today Dec 9th I sent a email asking if Jason was back working so I can set a appointment for grooming. I was told during his recovery he was working off site and again he would have to be there for a grooming appointment. Kinda confused on that answer I got the feeling we were not welcome back for a unknown reason to me. I asked again and was told my dog was now a bite risk !!! Harvey who I assumed was office manager always spoke at drop off and pick up I was never told this. All the ladies who bring the dogs to the back an front never said this to me. Now out of nowhere I'm told he's a bite risk!!! So I was told a lie all summer when I was calling? Owner an any managers were not professional enough to say something? Instead I was calling over an over and they were not going to make a grooming appointment either way. What a complete joke how unprofessional of a place to operate. Word of is the best advertising thanks for wasting my time alpha
This was our first time in boarding our two little kittens (14 months ) old. They have always been with us since abandoned on our property. They did really great at Alpha Pet Resort. The owner , Mickey and staff were WONDERFUL, HELPFUL, AND CARING PEOPLE. They couldn't have treated our fur babies or us any better. I called once to see how they were doing and they were very gracious taking the time to talk to us and assure us they were fine. The facility is extremely clean and the cattery well organized. I sincerely rate the Alpha Pet Resort to be a true friend of animals and will Board there anytime my little buddies need care in my absence. Thank you for your great service!
Huck’s first day at Alpha must have gone perfectly. He was tired but energetic and happy when he got home. His next visit is today and he started to get excited when we turned down Brandy Road about a mile from the Resort. He thinks this is the best place in the world and for an active English Setter puppy we think it must be. Alpha is providing all the experiences and socialization that a puppy needs.We love it.
I highly recommend Alpha pet resort. My dog, Sheena, recently enjoyed a day of doggy daycare where she got to play with other dogs. The facility is clean and the grounds are well-maintained. The staff loves dogs! Sheena was matched with dogs of similar size and temperament for her playtime. I have boarded my dogs with other kennels and found them less than satisfactory. But I would have no qualms about boarding Sheena at the Alpha pet resort because I could see the Care Understanding and compassion Provided by their staff.
I have used Blue Mountain Pet Care for years to take care of my animals while out of town. The communication while away is wonderful. Alisha handles everything (plants, mail, etc) and I can always trust that my home and animals are in good hands when I am on the go! Highly recommend.
Blue Mountain Pet Care is the best dog sitting in the area. Alisha is attentive, loving, and always goes above and beyond her scope of work! (Packages are always taken care of!)
Alisha has never stopped loving and caring for animals since we were both young. From a sick fawn in the woods, to a turtle she found in the middle of the road, to flying squirrels in her backyard... she is the most nurturing pet sitter I have ever experienced. Especially when the animals are not her own! Not only have I have trusted her to take care of my sweet kitty a few times, I have recommended her to watch my family’s two dogs and we come back from a trip with the dogs wanting her to stay and continue giving them all the walks and head scratches! She is and always will be the first person I call when I need animal advice. She is knowledgeable AND kind - WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
She has a way with animals it’s absolutely incredible to see.
Fantastic service with a smile for my dog Tux! Very happy, professional, prompt, curtious, and accommodating! There aren't enough words to to explain how good our experience has been, and picture updates were provided too! I highly recommend!
Alisha is friendly kind and reliable. $15 to let my old girl out to go potty and give petunia her meds
Alisha and her workers are the pet whisperers!!! They do it all. Feedings, walks, and so much more!
Wonderful company and Alisha took excellent care of our animals! Highly recommended to everyone!
Always amazing! Momma Jenn is the only person i trust with my dogs!
