Dog Sitting in Alta Vista

We recently left our fur baby, Leo, with Walter & Jillian for 12 days while we left for our honeymoon. We’ve never left Leo for this long, let alone had him stay at someone else’s house. We were nervous of course. However, the first day we met Walter & Jillian we knew he would be in great care. Walter & Jillian treated Leo as their own. They took such great care for him. We had no worries on our trip and I genuinely believe Leo had the time of his life with them. They sent us photos throughout the stay and Leo had the biggest smile on his face. We are so happy that we found Fetch! Leo is so happy too. 😊

I cannot speak highly enough of Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota and their exceptional cat sitter, Richard. We recently had to leave town for a week-long trip to Alabama and were fortunate enough to hire Richard through Fetch! to take care of our beloved fur baby, Gunner. From the moment Richard stepped into our home, we knew Gunner was in great hands. Richard's passion for animals was evident as he greeted Gunner with genuine warmth and affection. It was heartwarming to see how quickly Gunner took to him. Throughout our vacation, Richard went above and beyond to ensure Gunner's happiness and well-being. Richard not only tended to Gunner's basic needs but also made sure to engage him in playtime with an assortment of toys. It was evident that Richard's interactions with Gunner were filled with love and enthusiasm, which meant the world to us as devoted pet parents. In addition to his care for Gunner, Richard demonstrated an incredible level of thoughtfulness by vacuuming the house as needed. Returning from our trip to a clean and tidy home was an unexpected delight! Moreover, Richard even assisted with taking out the trash on trash day, which we found incredibly considerate. Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota proved to be a reliable and professional company to work with. The ease of booking their services, coupled with the seamless communication throughout the process, was impressive. Richard's dedication, attention to detail, and sincere love for animals truly set him apart as an exceptional cat sitter. We can't thank him enough for the peace of mind he provided while we were away. Gunner seemed content and happy upon our return, and that's all we could have asked for. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota and specifically Richard as a cat sitter to anyone in need of top-notch pet care services. They exceeded our expectations, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to them for all our future pet care needs. Thank you, Richard, and Fetch! Pet Care, for giving us a worry-free vacation and taking such amazing care of Gunner. Your service deserves more than five stars!

After having some bad experiences with Rover, I decided to try Fetch Pet Care. They are everything Rover falls short of. Fetch Pet Care is reliable, with many options on how they can care for your dog, awesome online scheduling tool, flexible cancellations, very responsive customer service from all the sitters and the owner, easy payment and much more. They have all their bases covered and gained my full confidence from the first interaction! I was losing faith in finding good pet care in Sarasota, until I found Fetch!

Scheduling via the app was really convenient, and it was great to receive all the reassuring feedback, with the checklist and photos, after each home visit. The owner Walter was friendly and helpful and our cat sitter Lori was very attentive and conscientious in taking care of our senior kitty. We would confidently recommend Fetch! of Sarasota to anyone in the area looking for high-quality pet care!

Walter and his crew are amazing. Our dog has done overnights a few times and I often wonder if our pup is sad to see us come get him. There is great communication and care throughout the entire stay. So thankful for this great company, highly recommend this company and their services!

Our Bailee was so well taken care of and loved Walter & Jillian. She has anxiety when we have left her in the past to travel, but she adjusted very well. Walter kept us posted and sent pictures on how she was doing.

Our Chi needed a sitter so we could enjoy a visit to Cool Today Park. This was a new experience for her. Tammie came the night before and spent time getting to know her and allowing our sweet girl to feel more comfortable. We were able to enjoy our day knowing she was well cared for.Reasonable rates. great communication. Would definitely use again!"

Fetch! Pet Care Sarasota is awesome! Our cat sitter not only fed our cats and cleaned their litterbox, he also provided mental stimulation and physical exercise each day. Lots of photos were taken and really made us feel comfortable while we were away. I would HIGHLY reccomend!!!

I have used Fetch Pet Care for over 3 years and have never been disappointed with the care provided. Most recently, Tammie and Sara provided extended coverage sending daily updates and pictures of my feline “children “. They took care to ensure our home was clean of the kitty litter which the cats tend to track around. They provided additional services such as watering our plants and setting out the garbage as we left a few days before. They even asked if they should be getting the mail though we had stopped it. It’s a comfortable feeling knowing we can leave and our loved ones are being well taken care of.

My dogs both have special needs, one has tons of allergies and the other one has hip dysplasia and arthritis. Walt and Jillian are really good at following all the medicine and individualized feeding instructions both of my dogs have, and its a lot! Plus they have a very dog friendly home and they spoil my dogs with love while they are boarded there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We cannot thank you, Cheyenne enough for stepping in at extremely short notice to look after our two kitties! We reached out to her on a weekend, less than 24 hours before leaving for a 10-day family vacation after our previous care arrangement let us down. Cheyenne called me back right away and, within a few hours, was at our home for a meet-and-greet to ensure we and our kitties felt comfortable. Her communication was impeccable—she kept us updated twice each day with detailed messages. She spent quality time with our cats, informing us about their eating habits, potty routines, and included plenty of photos. Our older kitty, who is usually shy around strangers, was completely comfortable with her, as evident in the pictures. Cheyenne, truly an angel. Her professionalism and reliability we absolutely top-notch!! We will absolutely be reaching out to her the next time we need help with our kitties! and would hands down recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Cheyenne!!! 🙏🐱❤️

Cheyenne watched me two dogs in her home while I had a trip out of town. She has previously helped with walks and met them at my home, but this was my first time using her as a sitter. I'm always nervous with new sitters but she did an amazing job and my dogs clearly had a wonderful time! I appreciated how thorough her paperwork was at getting health information, preferences, etc. Super professional. She gave me updates while I was gone at the perfect frequency and I had complete confidence that everything was going well. 10/10, highly recommend, would absolutely use again!

Our River had the best time at Shiney Day! We are always so nervous to leave our baby! Cheyenne kept me up to date with how River was doing. She sent me lots of photos too! We will definitely use her services again!

Cheyenne is the best! I trust her completely when I am away from my fur babies and they love her. Very good at communication.

Kaitlin Newman is amazing! As someone new to the Port Charlotte area and working long hours I was nervous bringing a new walker into my home. Once meeting Kaitlin those worried were instantly over. Jacque (my French Bulldog) can be a handful at time but Kaitlin took on the challenge. She treats Jacque as if he is her own. She finds joy in each and every visit with Jacque. Additionally, her communication is never lacking. She makes me aware if she will be running behind or if there is something alarming going on with Jacque. I look forward to her summary and photos daily, which is always lovely to receive during a stressful work day. Kaitlin has even hosted Jacque for two overnight boarding session in which he has been on his best behavior. Jacque is not socialized often with other dogs, so I feared having him around 5 other dogs at once but Kaitlin had no issues acclimating Jacque to the new environment. I knew he had the best of time when he would get home and sleep for the rest of evening and was even unwilling to do his usual walks the following day due to the fun filled weekend. I highly recommend Kaitlin and the Shiney Day company!

Cheyenne has taken care of my two house rabbits many times over the past several years. Between her vet tech expertise, her love of animals of all kinds and her super organized scheduling/communication platform, I always know the rabbits are in good hands. I love seeing the photos and status reports she posts during her visits. It's great to be able to get away and trust your pet sitter 100%. I highly recommend Cheyenne!

Cheyenne is great! We were searching for a sitter who could take care of our furbabies while we are out of town. We have 2 aging cats with minor health issues. We feel totally at ease leaving them in Cheyenne's care. She is not only very responsive and reliable, but she also would know what to do if our cats had any health issues while we are gone. And she keeps you informed with notes and pictures every time she visits your pets. We highly recommend Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care and Cheyenne to anyone wanting peace of mind with their pet care.

Cheyenne is great, very trustworthy and reliable! She always updates you on her visit and will reach out with any concerns. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog-walker or any other of her provided services; I can guarantee your pet will be in the best hands!

Extremely professional service, website is easy to navigate and user friendly for scheduling. Extensive feedback is provided with each visit, all for a very generous price for what is given. I feel more than comfortable with Cheyenne being responsible for the scheduled visit, along with her being in my home and taking care of my dog. She’s a true animal lover, it’s highly evident how much she genuinely cares about the health and well-being of our pets. She always goes above and beyond, addresses any possible concerns she has, even those that are not hers to worry about. She is amazing at what she does and I’d recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog walker / in need of pet services.

Cheyenne and Shiney Day Pet Care are the best! Not only was she extremely quick with communication but also very accommodating with last minute changes. She loves animals so much, which makes me happy as an owner because then I know my cats are in good hands. And if you have a sick animal, she knows how to take care of them. It’s nice to have someone taking care of your animals who you can also seek ask advice from. My cat was extreme my old and sick when Cheyenne gave her the best care and helped me with figuring out what was best for her.

Ace Pet Resort has been wonderful trough the years taking care of my dogs. I just picked up Chloe and she was loved, played and I have peace of mind knowing she is having the best care. The staff is friendly and very caring

We boarded our dogs for vacation & I didn't worry about them for the 1st time. We received an update via text that was very detailed. The entire facility is clean & organized. The staff really care for your pets like one of their own. Booking was very easy on the website. Also response time was quick with my questions. Thank you Ace Pet Resort ❤️🐶

Everyone at Ace Pet Resort is friendly and helpful! I asked for a quick turnaround this morning, and she was actually done with a bath and nail trim i less than an hour! I highly recommend their services!

Love Ace Pet Resort! ❤️ We can't express how grateful we are to everyone who works at the Ace Pet Resort. Our cat was there for a week. For an entire week we were receiving a report about how our cat eats, sleeps, goes potty, and how he behaved. It's wonderful that all the people who work at this place are so caring and attentive. When we came to pick up our cat, we were given a report with his photo and a detailed description of his habits during his stay. We will definitely recommend this place to cat and dog owners. We trust them and we will definitely and gladly come back! Thank you all for your Care!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Florita and Tony

My doggies (dachshund and Boston Terrier) had an awesome time! They came home happy and relaxed. I love the little report card they gave us for them. This is the first place I’ve felt like I didn’t have to worry about them.

It was so wonderful to see all his bedding and toys cleaned as well . You are so warm also to the pets you bring in to your facility

My dog, Riley, did very well at her initial day-care visit to ACE. She is super-attached to her humans and we had some concern about a day-long separation, but Riley did very well and was as happy when I picked her up as when I dropped her off 7-hours earlier.

Such a great experience. I have two pups that are very different. One is very social and the other is not a fan of other dogs. I was worried that it would be stressful on my non-social guy and that he would have a hard time being there. ACE did a great job managing him, giving him love when his sister was being social. They took great care of our babies and we will continue to use ACE!

I give it a five star! My Daisy Mae has been with you three times this year ranging from 21 to 6 days at a time. My husband has cancer and we have to board her for treatments. I can’t say enough about the staff they are so awesome! I get wonderful photos of her playing and updates of how she is doing! I already have her booked for next round! Love you guys and everything you do!!!!!!!🐶🐶

I have always found that the best indicator of a dog’s experience at a boarding facility is how they react when you pick them up. Although crazy excitement happens at seeing us again, after a stay at ACE, my dog is chill and relaxed. This has not been the same reaction from other facilities. I love the responsiveness and positive nature of the staff; updating us during our dog’s stay; and how clean they return your dog and belongings! I highly recommend them!

My dogs absolutely love this place. One of the best value boarding facilities in the area. The staff are amazing & the dogs are always so well cared for and happy. We love the daily photo updates.

I love Sarasota dog world. My puppy Nico has been going there for almost a year now and whenever we go he’s always so happy! He loves the staff and so do I. You can tell that they all love and connect with our furry loves. Michaela is just amazing— and goes above and beyond! We love Tyler, Tiana, Presley, and Alyssa to name a few. And the owner Lorri is fabulous. It makes me so happy to know that my fur baby is being loved and cared for. And it’s important to be able to trust a daycare. It’s a wonderful community to be a part of. And I can’t thank them enough for treating my baby so well!! They’re the best!!

My fur baby always runs in happy to leave us for either daycare or boarding which is a huge relief! I mean look at this smile while there :) The staff is great and they truly care about animals. Not to mention they have so many services like washing, grooming, training etc. So happy to have found them, thank you Dog World!

I recently took my French bulldog to Dog World Sarasota, and it was an incredible experience! This was his first day of socialization, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and clearly passionate about dogs. They made both me and my pup feel at ease, which is so important for a first-time visitor. My Frenchie had a blast playing in the big dog group, splashing around in the pool, and meeting new furry friends. It was heartwarming to see him interact and enjoy himself in such a fun and safe environment. Overall, I highly recommend Dog World Sarasota for any dog owner looking to socialize their pet. The staff's dedication and the fantastic facilities truly make it a standout choice!

Dog World Sarasota has helped me provide a richer life for the seven year old dog I adopted last May. She gets to socialize with other dogs during daycare once a week, and she loves going there.

Liam absolutely LOVED his first day at Dog World! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it’s clear that everyone truly loves dogs. Receiving Liam’s report card and pictures from his first day made me smile! He was well cared for and is tired out from playing all day. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Dog World is a wonderful doggy day care. My lab Daisy loves going there to be with the caring conscientious staff and her delightful furry friends. The day care is well run, clean and uniquely gives the animals a lot of outdoor time which is exactly what they enjoy.I highly recommend dog world.

I have been taking Phoebe to daycare at Dog World Sarasota since she was 6 months old. Phoebe knows the days that she goes by going to get her leash and wait by the door to jump in the car! She runs in the door to give hugs to the wonderful staff that care for her while she's there. We've done training with Tammie to get her Good Citizen Certification and loves going to Scent classes with Wendy! Dog World Sarasota is an all around perfect facility to take your pup to daycare, classes, grooming and to boarder. I would be lost without a place for her to socialize and play. Makes her a VERY HAPPY DOGUE!

Love Dog World! Our miniature Aussie Luna has the best time playing with her human and furry friends at Dog World. The team is amazing and as sweet as can be! We have no problem boarding Luna when we travel. We know she is in good hands and have a great time!

Dexter has been going to Dog World for years. He gets so excited when we pull in to the parking lot. The facility is clean and safe and the staff is so caring. What a relief having a safe place to leave Dexter when I go out of town..

Beware! I would give this place zero stars if it was an option. this place is extremely filthy, barely any AC for the dogs and cats. This is not …

We board our dog and two cats at Just 4 Paws for every vacation we take. The staff and owners are extremely reliable, always available, and very pleasant people. Great value and many add on options for dogs! We had extra walks and a bath for ours - she came back smelling great and looking super happy. Our cats love to look out the windows from the tops of the cat trees and hardly want to leave. Highly recommend!

We had our two cats boarded for an exceptionally long time because of our move and we couldn't have been happier with our experience with Just 4 Paws. They clearly loved and cared for our cats like they were their own. We visited often, and each time we came we were met with welcoming smiles. Our cats had an actual room of their own with toys and cat trees looking over a beautiful lake. The room was always super clean and you could tell the cats loved them too because every time they saw their faces the cats lit up knowing they were going to get cuddles and let out to run around. Their rates were exceptionally good too! I will always recommend and sing the praises for Just 4 Paws! Thank you for taking such great care of our cats. Brian and Charli

Just 4 Paws is the best! The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They have great air conditioned garden rooms with grassy play and potty areas. We have used this pet resort many times and our dogs Lucy and Greta always enjoy going here. We also know our fur babies will be well taken care of here... We actually have them booked for an upcoming getaway! Greta our dachshund even has a pack of doxies to play with when she visits.

Our two dogs have been guests at Just 4 Paws several times over the past 2.5 yrs. When we pull up the lane, Ringo and Pixie just start going crazy with anticipation. How many times do dogs actually love to go to the kennel? Ours do. They are able to have a spa room together where it is climate controlled and they have their own yard. we have also used the junior suites for them which they loved equally. Maya and Marcus treat our babies like two of their own. We have boarded them for long weekends as well as several weeks duration. Each time the kids have come home happy and healthy. We have peace of mind while we are travelling knowing the kids are well cared for.

My dog went to this place during Thanksgiving holidays and I felt very cheated. He spent 4 nights and they charged me like it was 5 nights which is very annoying and not fair. Also they are telling in the website that is a luxury pet resort and it is very very dirty. My dog came back home so dirty and his bed was disgusting, smelling really bad. I had to pay $265 per 4 nights that is $66 per day, when most of the other places that look so much better and are much cleaner are charging between $43 and $46 per day. I don’t trust all the other reviews. I think that they are not real. This is my experience and I hope can help others to choose better the place for their dogs.

The folks that own and run this boarding place are really nice, and it is obvious that they care very much about the animals housed there. As well, you can pay a little extra for your animal to have additional one on one play time, which is a nice touch. The only drawbacks were their cash only policy, and the cat enclosure room smelt extremely strongly of cat spray. . . But perhaps that's normal. Plus their cat enclosure area is lots of soft furnishing items and my cat didn't seem to mind the smell.

Friendliest staff and so accommodating. Best pet resort in Sarasota! I’ve been to several different places and this is by far the best. It’s so nice to know that my little Rambunctious pup is in good hands when I am away! Thank you for taking care of my Sam!

I love this pet resort!! We bring our dog rocky here and the owners take such good care of him. They take him for walks, make sure he is fed and play with him. When rocky comes home he is so tired from a fun filled day. The owners are such good caring people, at the drop of a dime they are willing to take rocky. My work schedule can be tough sometimes so it's good to know that Just 4 Paws is always there for us. Thank you for the impeccable care of our pet!!!

Our dog Henry loved his stay and just 4 paws! Very accommodating and caring owners who live onsite overseeing our dogs every need, will definitely be using here again! So nice to have finally found somewhere we can trust for our dog. Thank you both so much.

The Doggy Resort is the best place to take your dog! The owner Lisa is so caring for each animal and loves them like they’re her own, and she keeps the place absolutely spotless. Daycare, boarding, grooming, you name it… it’s the perfect place to take your pet! Highly recommend.

My wife and I took a tour, since we are looking for a new dog boarding place. The place was Immaculate and had lots of room both inside and out. Besides the cleanliness we were struck by how happy and content each dog was Lisa couldn't have been nicer We have found our new Doggy boarding place Clean and happy What more could we ask

This is absolutely the best place to take your dog for daycare or boarding in Sarasota .My little Dachshund Toffee absolutely loves coming here and I feel so happy and relieved about this. Jason is right there on site,.. 24/7 and really cares about your dogs well being.. ,He is the ultimate dog whisperer , dog lover, dog trainer and I find it hard to believe anything negative written about him and DoggyDaycare SRQ.

Gator and I will be going back. The staff was amazing very clean professional. I couldn’t get my dog to leave . I highly recommend Lisa and her staff.

Doggy Resort is the place to bring your dogs! They are a small local business and treat every dog like they are their own! I highly recommend!

The best of the best! My dog Lokee loves going to Doggy Resort- it’s her happy place!

Had previously done daycare and boarding visit, decided to board again for our wedding! Scheduled months in advance to board our dogs for wedding and honeymoon. The moment I walked in to drop off, Jason was visibly upset, rude and snarky. Made comments on how useless having my dogs on harnesses were, how ridiculous it is that I didn’t pay for daycare weeks in advance as I prepared for a wedding(even tho it was never mentioned prior to drop off), and that he intended to fully dose them with trazodone the entire visit… how unfair it was for me to be boarding my large breed dogs… Again all things that should be discussed prior to drop off rather than the day of. If this is owner policy it should be told to customers ahead of time, instead we were berated at drop off. Within less than 10 hours after drop off, and 12 hours until our wedding at 6AM we received nasty voicemails on my phone, my fiancés phone, and both of our emergency contacts phones… When our dogs were picked up, again we were talked to like trash, and our dogs were made out to be violent creatures which they aren’t. my dogs were supposed to be there for a week… over 900$ in boarding. Last minute changes and some amazing friends… and guess what? My “vicious” dogs were amazing guests at our wedding with over 60 people and were AS ALWAYS well behaved. Thanks Jason for saving us money! We will never be back and will never recommend you, and will do our best to make sure no one else’s dog goes thru what ours did.

I did not have a good experience at this daycare. Guy at the front desk was very rude. My dog was hesitant to be dropped off, which she normally loves everyone. I will not be returning and would not recommend

We left our three dogs here for 3 nights to go back to Michigan for an emergency family visit. From the moment we met with the owner, to picking up on Saturday morning, we felt like our dogs were in great hands the whole time! The little rooms where they stay are very large! And it’s nice that we can bring whatever they need (blankets, toys, t shirts, etc). It always makes me feel so comfortable when I know our furbabies can have a piece of home while they are away. We received a few texts letting us know our babies were doing well and when we picked them up they were nonstop wags and smiles! Jason was so personable and it was nice to know that 1) he lived on the property and 2) he is a dog trainer. Awesome! 10/10 in our book!

By far the best dog care in Sarasota. Jason and Kari are always positive and supportive, they truly care about the dogs and I can't even imagine trusting anyone else! My dog runs to the front door, he is so excited to go to day care and comes home tired and happy. 100% recommended.

We’ve been bringing our dogs to Animal House for over 5 years now and we love it! The staff are friendly and attentive and I am always confident that Clark will be well cared for. When we take him there, we open the back of the car and he RUNS to the entrance. He plays hard and gets lots of love. While he is always glad to see us when we pick him up, I think he secretly wishes he could live there! 😂

Been boarding our two dogs here for a while now. The staff and owner are so nice and caring. During a tropical storm, our house flooded and we had to board our animals here for five weeks. And during the process of rebuilding, it was a great relief to know our animals were at a place where they are loved and taken care of. I'm very grateful for Animal House and the care they give.

Animal House is fantastic! Our dogs can’t wait to go, they literally run us to their door in excitement! The team is always so welcoming, warm and reliable. All of our neighbors use Animal House too! We could not be happier! It is such a gift to travel and know your dogs are having a wonderful vacation too! Thank you for all that you do!

We’ve been taking our lab to Animal House for years whenever we go away on a trip. The owners and staff are the nicest. Our dog is always excited when we drop her off and then sleeps for days when we bring her home. My parents and my parents in law have also started using them for their tiny dogs. With the multiple pods, each with free access to their own outdoor pods, we know dogs are always paired appropriately based on size and temperament and never cooped up in a cage while we’re gone. This is a business to support! Maggie May gives her vote of approval!

This is hands down the best daycare experience I’ve had in my 3 years with my Jack Russell Terrier. Their hours make it convenient for someone with a teachers schedule to drop off their pup to be in a safe unconfined setting with similar size/temperament dogs all day. Their price is unbeatable!! I cannot believe they’re not completely booked more - I’m thankful for it while it lasts!

My 1.5 year old pup is afraid of everybody and everything. However, She loves coming to day care or boarding here. When I turn down the driveway she starts crying to get out of the car. She jumps into the arms of the caregivers. This is a wonderful place for her!

My dogs have been going there since they been puppies and LOVE IT THERE! the team is very friendly. The most important thing is the way my dogs react to them and getting there, which is happiness and zoomies and that’s how I know they been treated right! Which is the main concern for any dog parent ❤️

Samson loves going to Animal House for doggy day care, and he gets to ride the doggie bus home after! He's a tired boy when he comes home!

Iris and Finch, our Great Danes, absolutely love it there!!! They actually know the days of the week they go!! Great staff, big outdoor space with large grassy outdoor play area :)

Pups love this place -they run inside with excitement ! The owners and staff are so welcoming. Love that the pups roam free, can sleep together, and even get a bath before we pick them up! If you want a place that treats your pups like family, this is it. Highly recommend!

Ashley is an actual dog whisperer and one of our most reliable dog sitters in the area. She is an excellent communicator and our dog is always so excited to see her. She will walk our dog no matter how hot it is! If you want she will talk in a very cute voice to your dog, it is the best, Ashley is the best!

We love Ashley! She’s reliable and is a big help for me. And takes great care of my babes. She also sends me pics every time she walks them, which I love. Highly recommend her

I am so lucky to have found Ashley! I have been a snowbird to Florida for the past seven years, and have never been able to leave my cats for an overnight or an extended trip. Last season I was able to meet my family in Orlando for four nights and then I spent a couple nights in Miami all because I was able to leave the cats in great hands! I feel safe leaving my cats with Ashley because she has experience with animals and she is very calm with the cats. She talks to them and she communicates with me on when she arrives and leaves. She sends pictures and lets me know their mood or behavior. This is much nicer than having a friend or family member come over to “check on the cat”, because they are not professionals, and they may not have my cats best interest at heart. Plus, I don’t have any friends or family to help. Also…. when I return to my condo, after Ashley has been there, everything looks perfect! Litter box is clean, floor is clean! I’m looking forward to seeing Ashley again this winter and I know that I can count on her if I want to leave Sarasota for a few nights that my cats will be in good hands. 👍🏻😊😻

I just want to spread what a great experience we had using Ashley as our Pet Sitter. We were gone for 8 days out of the country, she stayed at our house & made the entire experience so comfortable for Us & our dogs 🐶 The best experience, Highly recommend! …

We can’t say enough about Ashley - her knowledge and care for animals and her going above and beyond to help us save 2 precious cats. An older member of my family has been in and out of the hospital & rehab for the last couple of months and now is also moving. I lived 2 hours away and was unable to help with the cats. A great neighbor has been feeding them and cleaning the litter box, but without their mom (my family member), they’ve become very scared. Ashley agreed to safely capture each cat from their deep hiding places and transport them to their vet for boarding. Sounds easy, right? No, it was challenging, but after several hours, Ashely successfully captured each one and got them to the vet. From the very beginning, she understood our situation and was so willing to help us. Knowing that someone with her expertise could help gave us great peace. And her fee was nominal, considering how complex the process was. Thank you, Ashley!!

Wow!!! I’m so happy I found Ashley! She’s amazing with my two fur babies! Long gone are the days of asking family and friends to stop by the house when I’m out of town. Ashley takes care of them whenever I need to travel. When she comes over, they run to the door, so excited to see her! :) She’s reliable and professional, yet silly and sweet with the kiddos. Coming from the world of Veterinary care makes me feel more comfortable too. I know they’re in good hands when I’m not home. Ashley is awesome!! Plain and simple! :)

Our dogs adore Ashley and she’s kind enough to share a bed with them! Her prior experience as a vet assistant allows us to travel without worries. We are fully confident in Ashley’s abilities and care. Our two are not without their challenges and she handles them perfectly. Communication is always timely.

Ashley has been a god send for my fur baby. She takes excellent care of my dog and even sends me videos and provides updates on how he is doing. Her flexibility has been great for last minute needs. Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Ashley for anyone seeking exceptional care for their pets. You can really see how much she loves animals in the way she takes care of them. She’s super knowledgeable and treats your pets like they’re her own. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your furry friends, Ashley is the one to go to!

I’m posting this for my mother as she doesn’t have a google account. Ashley is extremely dependable and kind. And my mom’s dog absolutely is crazy about her! He can’t wait until she comes to walk him. She also has a lot of knowledge about dogs’ behavior and habits. Can’t say enough good things about Ashley in Sarasota!

Wonderful place to take Mr. Bates for a run and to be free to roam. Usually, there are no other dogs here to bother us. Very private and quiet! Thank you for providing this respite for my baby boy!

Best vet I have ever been to and I have had dogs my whole Life. Dr Huber is the best!! I have seen Dr Brody a few times and have no complaints but I always ask for Dr. Huber because he is why we went there from the beginning and one of our boys has a medical condition the Dr Huber is familiar with. I do think he is no longer taking new patients (last I heard) but I think Dr Brody is great too.. The staff is great and knowledgeable also.

Everyone at Hagan's Pet Resort is so kind, professional, and personal. They go above and beyond to ensure that pet families feel welcome and are reassured that their pets will be well cared for. They sincerely care for families when pets are at the end of their lives. Hagan's is top notch. It is a wonderful place to take the pets you love!

Love this place wonderful staff particularly one lady there named Kayla she is amazing and has such a great personality you would think she owns the place it's always a pleasure to be there very clean bet on site as well I am a proud dog owner and I always know my little family member is always in good hands when I drop him there for his bath and nails or if I need to go out of town highly recommended would give more stars if possible good job hagens

I highly recommend Hagan's Pet Resort to anybody needing to board their pets. The staff is wonderful, the cost ended up being less than we had projected and our 4 dogs seemed very at peace with the whole experience.

Seen the other posts, not sure what happened with their individual experience vs expectations, but we (wife, I and Sadie) had a great experience. Very affordable for ALL that was done. They diagnosed the problem, when FLAC did not... After two attempts... The only Vet office that Sadie has ever just "freely" walked into without having to coax or "drag" her in... Some of the techs could have better management (patience) with the senior dog's, but otherwise, a very positive experience. We will likely not go back to FLAC again, even after 3 dogs and 20 years of their service and we would recommend Hagan's at this time...

This is only for the Resort. Dr Brodie & staff at the veterinarian office are fabulous. The Resort staff LIES. I have boarded my cat there several times over the past 10 years. However, the past few times I've called for boarding, I was put on hold for a few minutes, only to be told they were "booked solid" for the next 3weeks. Something didn't "feel" right. I had my neighbor call & ask if there was availability for her cat. On speaker phone, she was told "sure, bring her down at 4pm & we'll get her all set"... If you have an issue with my cat don't LIE to me, tell me what the issue is. Poor service & LYING always reflects poorly on your business.

Our dog loves going here! We never have any problems. Happy to continue using them!

They are SO caring. Called me while I was away to give me an update on my elderly dog. My dogs LOVE to go there to board.

My wife and I have been regularly boarding with Hagan's Pet Resort for over 20 years (Christmastime and occasional other times), and overall we've found them to be wonderful people, polite and responsible. For reasons that remain unclear to me, we've been frustrated to find (over the last couple of years) that one or both of our dogs would return home with some kind of small infection (typically "pink eye" for dogs, whatever the technical name of that is). We handled those instances case by case, following our vet's subsequent prescriptions and solving the problems ourselves. "These things can happen," we'd say to ourselves. Most recently, however, one of our dogs came home with some type of more extensive issue which had us quite worried. The photos of our dog (after returning home) are what's attached with this review. They are not edited in any way. After an ultra-early morning visit to our vet, complete with steroid injection and steroid prescription, I called Hagan's to report the situation. I began by reiterating my long time respect for the people and institution of Hagan's, and I made sure to praise all of those people who'd (always) so kindly helped us over the years. I was referred to Rob, in the clinic, to handle this matter, and I explained to him that I was appreciative of them but very concerned by the recent changes we'd experienced in boarding (and very concerned for the health of our dog). Rob wanted documentation from our vet regarding the incident, and we connected our vet with Hagan's. Our vet indicated to them (and to us) that the most likely cause was that our dog came into contact with some type of chemical or substance while there which caused the reaction we saw. It was quite scary. Eventually, I communicated that what I wanted was a refund for the cost of (that one of) our two dogs' stay over Christmas. Since we believed that Hagan's should have noticed this situation and given our dog care before sending him home with us (as we'd indicated in our contract with them), and since it shouldn't have happened at all, we felt that this was a fine and fair way to put the situation behind us, allowing Hagan's to rectify whatever they needed to, and allowing us to hopefully feel good about Hagan's again. We'd never made any such request of Hagan's before, and had no interest in punishing them. We just wanted to feel that this business would honor us in the way we would honor someone else. What Hagan's decided to do instead was mail a check for $65 to pay for the cost of our vet visit. On the phone just now, I told Rob that I was expecting they'd reimburse us for half of our Christmas boarding fees as I'd requested. Rob replied that the $65 was what he was authorized to reimburse and that my wife (who'd followed up with Rob after our initial conversations) had seemed "perfectly ok" with this. I explained that she'd not said anything to this effect at all (verifying that with her), and I said that I felt I needed to share this review with others after waiting for nearly two months for a more honorable resolution. Rob replied that I was welcome to share whatever I wanted, but that any sharing of such things on "social media" might mean I'd be hearing from their attorney. Wow. I suppose the best thing to do is just let people process this story as they wish. I've done my best to relay it accurately and fairly, and it makes me very sad to have been talked to that way. To be clear, it wasn't about the money for us. Our bills were paid in full, like they always are. It was the earnest gesture -the honoring of goodwill and loyalty over the years, saying to the effect, "Hey -we're so sorry this happened. Let us give you your money back for this particular dog on this particular stay, and we'll make sure to review our own practices to avoid this situation and be better in the future. Please come board with us again." To which I'd have likely said yes. But, being threatened with legal action for sharing my honest experience is quite a different gesture indeed...
