Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

Pretty nice for the affordale price and a beautiful property. Almost everytime i got my dog back, he was bathed and groomed. My only critique is that i have never been able to see photos of what the inside where the dogs actually is, which is a little concerning. Other than that, for the affordable price, pretty good place to leave your dog.
Been bringing my pooch for grooming and I’m very pleased. He’s not easy to work on but they have no complaints!
Best place for your dog. The owner has been in this business for about 40 years. They also offer very useful training classes
A great place to leave your dog when you travel or are out of town. We love Deb, she's the best.
Dope place to ball
Great place for your dogs

Wouldn’t hire this service for my cat again.
My pup absolutely loves it here! I don't have to worry about him when he's here; I know he's having a good time and, as a bonus, he comes home exhausted. Everyone on staff is super friendly and responsible. They provide honest feedback about your pup, both good and bad. Additionally, they meticulously keep track of everything your pup needs, including food, treats and enrichment activities. They also ensure that my dog doesn’t get overstimulated by giving him enough breaks during the day. Their evaluation process gives me confidence that my pup will get to play with dogs of similar temperament and won't get bullied.
Hands down the best place for my dog. The staff are so warm and caring, even staff members I haven't met before greet my dog by name and seem to know who he plays with and how his days go. I have a very intense, extremely high energy, easily bored, destructive puppy. In a previous daycare (equally warm staff, but less staff members present and no toys/equipment for playing), my dog would come home tired but his manners would deteriorate after his time there. Sometimes he'd play a little too rough with other dogs and often he would smell bad. I believe this was due to poor supervision (dogs urinating and it not being cleaned promptly, unsupervised play getting too wild and rough). My dog has as good (or better) manners after going to Downtown Dogs and this was evident after his first week there. I work a lot and really appreciate that there is a place to bring my puppy where he gets to play, interact with other dogs and humans, and just be himself and thrive. I also appreciate that all the work I put into his training doesn't go out the window when I leave him at DD. They also offer a lot of a la carte activities, treats, playtime, etc. and sign up for these and regular services is really easy (online, by phone or email, or sign up sheet in lobby). Can't express how grateful I am to have found DD and that they love my dog so much!
Super care givers and handlers. Our dog is happy to go and happy when we pick him up. We love the one on one activities and being able to look in on the streaming video. Go Amber and Jackie, Clipper loves ya, and so do we!
10/10 would recommend this facility! I was incredibly nervous leaving my dog in the care of someone who wasn’t me, but the employees here made me feel comfortable doing so. They are all kind and clearly love dogs. I love that I am able to check in on her through their live webcams, as well as having the option of “pupdates”, where they text you pictures/videos throughout the day. They have so many enrichment options to choose from to add something a little special to your dog’s day, which I always choose! My dog has gone here a few times and each time she is excited to go in and greet the workers/other dogs. I still get nervous leaving her, but knowing that she is genuinely being looked after/cared for makes me feel a little bit better. Definitely check this facility out if you are considering doggie day care!!
Both San jose and Palo Alto locations are great. The staff is friendly and always doing special events for the dogs. I appreciate that your dog will also learn how to play well with other dogs and can practice other skills like obedience and agility.
Downtown Dogs offers great enrichment activities and weekly treats that pet parents can choose from. My boy is never bored when he’s there. The great staff really get to know the dogs and best of all they really like the dogs who are in their care.
we love the staff and facility at DD! Our dog loves it here soooo much. We are never concerned leaving him when we go on trips. We know he is safe and taken care of and the little add ons of activities, treats, play time, and photo shoots make the experience that much better and cuter. 10/10 we love our DD family
This is a gem of a dog care facility. The staff are truly amazing. Their understanding and patience with Bernard’s quirks, like his playful habit of going through legs or his less charming moments of mounting, have been great and they handle correcting behaviors well. Bernie has been a regular for a few years now and absolutely adores his daycare and overnight stays. Whether it’s for a day or a week, I recommend this place!
I’ve been bringing my dog to downtown dogs for 2 years now, and would absolutely recommend them to others! It’s always a good sign when my dog is eager to go through the day care door every day. I love they have an evaluation before allowing any dog into the daycare, they put a cap on the staff to dog ratio, they have a they have 2 hr lunch breaks during the day to feed them and let them relax/digest, they are so accommodating of my pup who has his unique personality quirks, and they are great about giving feedback on my pup’s day each time I ask. Also, the staff is always so friendly and provides great customer service!
We absolutely love this place. From the first time that we brought our 11 week old to a puppy social here, we knew we had found an awesome group of people that we could trust. They are usually booked for daycare 3 days out and extended overnight boarding needs a month or more notice. We've been coming here for a year and a half now and every Thursday Artemis gets super excited and bounces off the garage door hoping to get to go for the day. The webcams are clutch and let parents watch how much fun our furbabies are having without us! This week we went through another puppysitting agency and we thought we were going to be ok being out of town for a week. Boy were we wrong. Even though we had introduced Artemis to the sitter beforehand and they seemed to get along, the sitter just couldn't get Artemis to trust her. It took a neighbor and their pup coming over to get her to feel safe enough to be leashed. Fast forward to a repeat of the situation the next day at the sitter's place. We were out of town and there was absolutely nothing we could do. Artemis was stressed and didn't feel safe, so was the sitter! Downtown Dogs really came through for us. Even though they were already fully booked, they listened to our situation and agreed that they were the safest place for Artemis to be, so they took her in! I am soooo glad that we had been bringing her here for soo long! Artemis is in a happy place where she knows and loves everyone and she gets to play with her pupfriends.
My dog is super happy here! Always excited when we arrive. The staff that works here is super sweet. The lady that always checks us in is the best. My pup is tired and happy when I pick him up.
We’ve been taking our mini Aussie here for about two years after trying multiple kennels. It’s a bit far from home but so worth it! The prices are great, it’s clean, and the staff is so friendly. We do short weekend stays and extended stays (7+ nights) and our dog always comes back happy! We’ve never had an issue and it eases our mind that there’s a vet on sight if needed. Thank you to the loving staff at Springdale for taking such great care of our pup when we are away!
A wonderful place that we take our siberian husky Lulu. She always comes home exhausted from playing with the other large dogs. She bounds with excitement the 2 days a week she goes. We have also used the groomer services there a couple of times and She looked and smelled wonderful.
We boarded our insanely energetic puppy, Dot, and very anxious senior dog, Rosie, with Springdale. We’ve always used Rover and have had a few bad experiences but I was still apprehensive about boarding our dogs at a kennel. As soon as we arrived I felt at ease and knew they were going to be safe. The pups have a large, shaded, enclosed play area that a bunch of dogs were playing in when we pulled up. The gal who checked us in was so friendly and made me feel like our dogs were going to be well taken care of. It feels like a Vet office and there was an intake process where we told them about Dot and Rosie. What made the biggest difference for us was when we picked them up. Firstly, we were late getting in and the same gal who checked us in stayed an extra half hour so we could pick them up right from the airport. I could have cried I was so relieved, I didn’t want to go another day without our dogs. She should get a raise. Springdale was also $420 CHEAPER than Rover for the same number of days. I had always thought kennels would be way more expensive. Our senior dog typically loses weight if she’s away from home but when we picked her up from Springdale she hadn’t lost a pound. I know she was at ease enough she was able to eat regularly, which made me feel so much better. Dot was smiling, covered in dirt, and stunk like dog so we know she had a blast with her new friends. As soon as we were home Dot and Rosie instantly relaxed like they had never been away. AND Rosie has a cherry eye that pops in and out. It popped back in the morning after we picked them up! We will use Springdale as long as they stay open and I would highly recommend them to anyone who are anxious dog parents like us.
Staff from front desk to caretakers of fur babies have always been phenomenal. If your in need of a doggie motel, this is your place.
This place is all about loving animals more than money! The vet is so down to earth and made me feel like my dog was in the best hands and he was understanding about my limited budget... The techs, Alexis, and i did not get the other girls name, were very knowledgeable and just great with LilMan. This was our 2nd visit with this place and this is where we will remain. Thank you all for the care and for seeing us without an appointment today.
Our Husky has been enjoying his stays here for years! The staff always happily greets our dog & they are very friendly. What's also super conveinient is that there's a Veterinarian located next door, just in case you may need to schedule an appointment to get caught up on your dogs' vaccinations or any other needs. We use Springdale Kennel for long term boarding, but i've seen many just drop off their dog for a few hours at doggy daycare! That's a great idea too! Our dog loves the socialization & the caring staff here.
Location is a bit far from home. BUT great service & price. My Husky had an 8 day stay and seemed to love it!
Our 2-year-old golden loved this place!!! She came back in the happiest mood I’d seen her. The check-in and out was quick and friendly. They gave the special food I provided in bags.
The front receptionist with bangs has no empathy for dogs. You can just tell she dosent enjoy her job not working with dogs. My dog just got surgery and I was clear about that from the begging and she continues to grab her in a very harsh way right infront of me. Both of my dogs came stressed out from this place. And with burn marks on their fur that I saw until we dog home . I am very disappointed with this and feel horrible with myself for leaving them with these people. Rather pay more in another place than have my dogs treated poorly. #neveragain! #animalabuse
We love taking our Miley to Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting! Miley is a very shy dog and takes a little bit to open up. Initially, we were concerned about her adjustment, but after her first daycare visit, she loved it! It was such a relief to see our timid girl so eager and happy to go back. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is in the capable hands of the staff at Lucky Buddies. The atmosphere is so welcoming that it feels like we are dropping her off at a friend's or family member's house. We have complete trust in their care for our baby girl. The added convenience of their app, which provides regular updates, is a fantastic touch that keeps us informed and reassured while Miley is in their care. Communication at Lucky Buddies is top-notch. They are always prompt in responding to any inquiries and are more than willing to address any concerns we might have. We also utilize their boarding services in addition to daycare, and each time we leave Miley with them, we do so without any worry or anxiety. The confidence we have in Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting is immense, and they truly make your dog feel like part of their family. A special shoutout to Chelsea, whom our Miley absolutely adores! Chelsea has been so helpful in Miley's smooth transition and has formed a beautiful bond with her. Miley gets incredibly excited whenever she sees Chelsea, which speaks volumes about the care and affection she receives. In summary, we highly recommend Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting for both daycare and boarding. Their exceptional service, loving staff, and reliable communication make them stand out. They treat Miley like one of their own, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
I will readily admit that I am one of those crazy dog moms - my pup is a full member of our family and I am very particular about her experiences. I checked out four different doggie daycares in the area before deciding to try out Lucky Buddies - and Lucky Buddies blew the competition out of the water. As other reviewers have mentioned, Lucky Buddies provides excellent care for pets - the staff are well trained, passionate, and friendly. They really get to know your pet and meet them where they're at. Neko started attending at 4 months old (she's now 13 months old), and the folks at Lucky Buddies have been so patient with her wild puppy and teenage months. They work with me on her training, and they clearly love her for who she is. And Neko loves going to both daycare and overnight boarding! The level of professionalism demonstrated at Lucky Buddies continually amazes me. The staff communicates frequently, and Yesica and Alex are always adding new improvements with the dogs' best interests in mind. I would not trust any other facility with Neko; Lucky Buddies is her home away from home, and I'm so glad we have them in our lives.
am so happy to have found Lucky Buddies! I've owned three dogs over the course of the past 20 years and have boarded them at 4 different locations. This is hands down, BY FAR the absolute best. I realize at first glance it seems expensive, HOWEVER, when you realize the overnight price is for 24 hours and includes the wonderful daycare program, it's very reasonable. The staff are just wonderful and clearly love animals--all are treated the way staff would treat their own pets. Among the many things I appreciate are the regular messages and photos they took during my pet's stay and posted on the portal as well as emailed or texted owners (depending on your preferred communication). The best proof, of course, is how happy my dog was during the stay and when I picked her up. Yes, she was glad to see me but clearly she was not anxious to leave (as has been the case in a different boarding place). Don't even hesitate; this is the place to go. Your pet will love it and love you for taking him/her there. For the first time in a very long time, I don't feel guilty about leaving a pet behind when I travel.
I had to go for an unexpected trip and was in a hurry to find a good overnight daycare for my cat. The staff was very patient with him, and he was even able to warm up to the staff in the short amount of time he stayed with the Lucky Buddy staff. Very grateful for the care and frequent updates the staff provided!
To say Yesica & Juan are doggy whispers is an understatement!! They seriously have been so flexible with my fur babies- Ollie & Sadie. having a place that can take in last minute requests is a plus! I cannot thank them enough for taking in my babies when need be. And of course keeping up with them via Instagram is also a relief! You get to see what the Buddies are all up to throughout the day! It’s always an adventure being posted on their. I cannot leave out all the doggy activities they do (you get to take home & let your doggy be creative) as well as all the themed festivities, a holiday? Believe Lucky Buddies will be celebrating it! Like Valentine’s day, St Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Halloween… etc., they do it all! These guys go above and beyond to ensure every dog gets enough exercise, play time, cuddles, food, treats… the whole nine yards! It’s the best.. i’m forever thankful for their service and love to my babies.
Awesome place with awesome staff! Highly recommend Lucky Buddies. My mind is at peace leaving my dog in their care whether for day care or boarding. The updates/report cards they send are also so nice and appreciated. Safe to say our dog loves this place! Thanks Lucky Buddies!
Roxie has been going to Lucky's Buddies for that past year. Yecenia and Juan are great with her. When I went on vacation to Egypt they even picked Roxie up at my house! I love all the extra touches Yecenia does--including holiday events, periodically sending photos and updates of Roxie during the day. I highly recommend taking your dog to Lucky's Buddies. Laurie Aknin
We began taking our puppy to Lucky Buddies a few months ago and have been so happy with their care! We've done daycare, boarding, grooming, and will soon start some in house visits as well. Our puppy loves playing with the other dogs, and always comes home happily tired and engaged. They are great at updating us, and we love catching glimpses of our pup's day on their social media accounts too! They use the timetopet app which has also been super easy to use and book services, they've also been very responsive to questions. We love Lucky Buddies so far!
Joji loves spending time at Lucky Buddies. I love seeing the videos of him playing and receiving daily reports cards with photos. He used to be a shy puppy, but he has become so social and playful after his stays with his buddies. He also enjoys the neighborhood walks and gets a bath before coming home! We really appreciate the love and attention that Joji receives from Lucky Buddies.
Great pet daycare/boarding for dogs and cats (we have one of each). They constantly upload videos of the animals playing and we get status updates as well. Highly recommend.
My family found Buckie Pups in the fall after many failed attempts to find someone to watch our diabetic elderly dog. I randomly found Buckie Pups through my apartment message boards from someone raving about Natalie. I immediately reached out and was met with one of the kindest, most compassionate humans with a true love for all dogs. She did not hesitate to say she would do whatever our dog needed as long as we did a visit prior (with both our dogs) to be sure they got along with other dogs. We were able to see first hand how Natalie treats her own and our dogs and how incredible of a bond she immediately seemed to make with them both. Since the fall, Natalie has watched them for a long weekend and then for two full weeks while we traveled out of the country for my sisters wedding (which we didn’t think we would be able to attend in order to care for our dog but thanks to Natalie were both able to go) and then a full week in March. I honestly have seen her manage insulin freezing and doing whatever it took to get another while we were gone, upset tummies, and just true care and love for both our dogs. She also sends pictures and provides updates. I can’t even begin to describe how much our dogs love her but the fact that they now get excited for our suitcases to come out instead of freaking out and getting inside them I think says it all. I also think she and her family are just incredible, caring humans. I trust her with both my dogs, even my elderly dog because I know she would do whatever she needs. I never thought I would find anyone that I think truly cares for and loves our dogs like their own family but we did and we are so grateful. It’s truly their home away from home.
Brandy who runs the Pup Yard is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter. She is very well versed in all types of needs and personalities with dogs. She has multiple fenced in areas to ensure all dogs have a safe place to run, play, and socialize (even for reactive pups). My rescue pup always comes back happy and well taken care of. It is super easy to book with Brandy and she has accommodated me last minute on several occasions. I never fret that my boy will be in good hands because of brandys expertise. I highly recommend her services. Not only is it gratifying to support a local business but it is awesome to have peace of mind that my boy is going to be safe while I’m out of town!
Natalie came and was able to sit one of our dogs last min. Our dog is a very difficult dog that was previously from a shelter and has a hard time adjusting to new environments. We wanted our dog to feel at home and not locked up in a kennel for days. She had lots of fun making new friends!!
Natalie did a great job taking care of our dog. She’s a petite husky and needs lots of playtime and 2 walks, and good space, and she was SO happy at Natalie’s house. When it was too hot, Natalie was careful to put the dogs and pups inside in the AC so they were nice and cool. She has a large backyard and a nice front yard fenced up, so it’s great for the dogs. Natalie was also great at providing up photos and videos regularly while we were away, and the happy pictures of our dog just made us so happy during our trip. I recommend Natalie 100% to anyone who is considering her for pet sitting !
I left my Golden Retriver, Tommy, with Natalie for 1 month while me and my family had to go back to my country and he had a blast! He made a best friend and many pals, had tons of fun, and was treated like family! Buckie’s Pup House is probably the best dog care/boarding place in the entire Bay. Other boarding places would just put your dog in a cage for most of the day and let them out for an hour a day. But Natalie let’s them roam free the entire day! She takes them out on walks, cooks and prepares meals for them, plays with them, gives them toys/accessories, and she treats them like family. She also updated to us on how Tommy is doing and sent many pictures of the blast he had with her and the other dogs. Buckie Pup House is definitely our go to dog care place now and we are so thankful for Natalie and her service and we are astound with how happy Tommy was with her. And all of this fun at an amazing price point! I highly recommend Buckie Pup House and I am sure your little buddy will also have a blast!
My female German Shepherd puppy has made so many friends at Buckie Pup House and loves Natalie. She goes to daycare 2-3 times a week and always comes home tired and happy. Even on a rainy day, she was exhausted! I love how my puppy can free roam, lounge on the couch, and play in the back and front yard when weather permits. Natalie does an excellent job supervising the dogs, communicates promptly, and sends me adorable pictures of my puppy while I am at work. This daycare is so much better than ones at larger facilities because it is a small group of dogs in a clean, comfortable environment. Thank you Natalie!
Yesterday was my big little guys first day at Buckie Pup House. I was nervous because we recently had a bad experience with a locally popular, high rated boarding facility. Buckie Pup House is a kennel free environment that allows dogs of all ages and sizes. This was music to my ears because of our previous situation and because my pup is a 70 pound giant. To get the process started, Natalie allowed us to tour her home before I decided if I wanted to move forward. She was extremely polite, kind and answered all of my questions. On the day of care, she allowed for an early drop off to accommodate my work schedule. This alone was a lifesaver! She reassured me by sending pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for a very reasonable rate. Upon pickup, I was so relieved and grateful to see that my pup was a happy boy. She also gave me tips on how to care for his healing injury. I highly recommend Buckie Pup House for your dog care. I hope she has availability the next time I need help. Thank you, Natalie, for all that you do! Hank and I appreciate you! =)
After reading so many horror stories about other dog boarding companies I really took my time and did my research when I was recommended Buckies. Natalie and her family were absolutely amazing. The first step was the meet and great which I really loved because we made sure our pup was a good fit and we wanted an outline on what to expect. Everyone was very attentive and asked questions about our pup that I would not have thought to bring up. I had my 6month old Minidoodle stay at Buckie Pups for three nights and four days and it was by far the best decision I made! Natalie was so attentive and sent tons of pictures. Every time I felt myself anxious about leaving my pup behind during the trip I would receive a text and picture update (its like she read my mind)! The one on one attention and walks my pup got on top of all the updates made it clear Buckie Pup was a great decision. It really felt like I was leaving my pup with family over the weekend which was a great feeling. I will be coming back for sure!
After leaving my fur baby at WAGS hotel and seeing how poorly they manage sooo many dogs at one time I was looking for someone who would care for my dog in a cage less environment. My dog seemed traumatized after his stay at the pet hotel. So when I knew that I was going to be out of town for 12 days I knew I had to find someone that I could trust to care for my doggie in an environment I would feel comfortable leaving him in. Thankfully I found Natalie!!! My dog was having the absolute best time of his life in the care of Natalie and her family! All of the picture updates I got while I was on vacation definitely put me at ease the entire time. My dog made so many doggie friends and I will 100% be bringing my doggie back to Natalie. Anyone who is looking for their dog to be loved and cared for while away on vacation, look no further! I would definitely recommend Natalie’s services to any pet parent in the area!!!
We have a mini Australian Shepherd named Mila and she has been having the most amazing time at Buckie Pup House with Natalie, her husband, children, dogs and chickens. Every time we drop Mila off for daycare or boarding we know we leave her in trusted and experienced hands with the most care. The dogs have a lot of space in the two yards (front and back) to play all day long. And when it's hot, Natalie makes sure they can play inside and still get the exercise they need. She even took Mila on a walk when it had cooled off. Natalie is also amazing when it comes to communication. She sent us pictures and videos when we were away for a weekend and made sure we had all the information we needed. Definitely a 5 star recommendation because of the great care and communication from Natalie. We just love people that are themselves and are transparant in their communication. Thank you again Natalie and see you soon, because Mila just loves to be with you!
So glad I found Allie's! The facility is gorgeous, kind of a spa for dogs, and very clean. Allie is very professional, very knowledgeable about all things dog and obviously really loves dogs. I trusted her with my Chiweenie, Elliott, for almost 2 weeks while I was away last month and I can happily say I have no regrets about it! I know Elliott got THE BEST care and I know he had a fantastic time with Allie and all the other dogs. I highly recommend Allies Doggie Day Camp.
Allie‘s Doggie Day Camp is nothing beyond amazing! she is so flexible with my schedule and is very prompt with communication. you can tell how much love she pours into each one of her dogs at camp. My pup gets so excited everytime he arrives at the front gate. Allie’s is so clean and organized with plenty of water, mini pools, fans (when hot outside), beds and activities to keep the dogs busy throughout the day.
We were very lucky to find Allie’s Doggie Camp to look after our dog Butter while we’re on vacation. Allie is a delightful lady who genuinely loves dogs and is passionate about her job. Her spacious and well-maintained backyard provides the perfect play area for the dogs, and she keeps us informed with regular updaters via text/email. We just got back from a three week vacation and it was great to receive a video of Butter enjoying a relaxing massage while we were away:). Butter always returns home healthy and happy, clearly having a wonderful time there. Big thanks to Allie for taking great care of our dog and being there to help us whenever we needed it! I highly recommend Allie’s Doggie Camp!
We love bringing our dogs to Allie! She was nice enough to let our puppy try again with his older sister after failing the first assessment. Now they go every week, and our puppy is comfortable and confident enough to start going alone
My two dogs have been attending Allie's for almost 2 years now. So many places crate the daycare dogs constantly or have tiny spaces to play. Here they have tons of outdoor space, doggy pools, birthday parties, and more. They absolutely love their time there and bye Felicia me at the gate every morning.
Allie's Doggy Day Camp and Boarding is amazing. The first time we boarded our sweet dog there, we got little videos showing him running around playing with other dogs or chasing a ball that was being thrown for him. It helped us miss him a little less. More importantly, the peace of mind that we had knowing our family dog was being so well cared for and that our pup was having fun was so important. Another reviewer mentioned it was more like a doggy retreat or spa, and we fully agree on this.
Allie is the best, took our German Rottie while we were out of town for 2 weeks! He enjoyed his time so much. Not only I think this is a place for your dog to be baby sat, but also a great place to have you dog socialize, play and learn positive tendencies which Allie teaches. This place is truly a PAWmaly 🐾❤️🧑🧑🧒🧒 …
Allie is by far the best doggie daycare and boarding option I've had the fortune to come by. She offers some of the most reasonable prices and is the closest thing to having a family member or close friend watch your dog. Ally offers convenient scheduling, a clean & open backyard and rigorous behavioral screening ensuring safety and peace of mind.
Allie's Doggy Day Camp is an awesome place to leave your furry friend while you're away. I felt very welcomed leaving my 6 month old puppy at her place. Allie is super knowledgeable about dogs and makes sure each dog is a good fit for the daycare. She's also flexible and accommodating, so you can rest assured that your pup will be well taken care of.
Allie and her pack are the true dog whispers. My Beau loves staying overnight with her... tons of fun, play and rest. My heart and mind is always at peace when Beau is with Allie. And the ultimate bonus is the pictures.
I was looking for day care for my 1 year old pup and was able to find Jackie through google. She was able to take him 5 days a week, full time, which was what me and my boyfriend were looking for. The meet and greet was great. She really …
We meet Jackie over a year ago at puppy training. We were looking for someone to board our golden retriever puppy for a weekend. Our Lola was well taken care of and had a blast socializing with other dogs. She now goes 3 days a week for doggie daycare. She looks forward to seeing Jackie and her pups. Jackie goes above and beyond to make sure every dog gets the attention they need through out the day 💛
Jackie is amazing. She is very responsive and flexible. I started going to her after looking for a dog sitter that was closer to my home. She is much more than a dog sitter. Her dog training experience and loving nature elevates her services. Recently, I went on a trip far away and Jackie was only able to watch my dog for a portion of the time I was gone. After I was not able to find other options, she offered to take care of him and drop him off at the second boarding place. She also fed him white rice and boiled chicken when his stool was too soft. Even though she does not take dogs with soft stool she cared for mine as if he were her own. Thank you Jackie. I'm only sad that I'm moving soon and won't be able to see you much longer.
Jackie (of Precious Paws) is amazing. We adopted a sweet but stubborn half-grown pup, and Jackie has worked hard to teach our dog some manners. Our dog loves going to see Jackie every day, because she’s given tasks to do, but also treated with love. Jackie has made a world of difference!
I boarded my 10 month old GSD puppy with Jackie for 5 days and I was extremely happy with how well she cared for my dog. I received daily updates and pictures of my pup and that really helped me since it was my first time away from him. Due to snow storms my flight was cancelled and I couldnt make it back in time for the pickup. Jackie went above and beyond to help board my dog for an extra night. I will highly recommend Precious Paws for your Precious Pups.
I just wanted to share how much I love Precious Paws. My original dog sitter canceled on me at the last minute when I was ALREADY out of town and I called Jackie from Precious Paws who came through for me in a big way. Not only did she come pick him up and watched him until I came back in town, but she sent me updates that included pictures and just text messages that just left me know that he is in great hands and from the looks of things he made himself really comfortable on the couch. This is the exact kind care I was looking for. I didn't want to put him in a place where he was going to be another dog in a cage. I wanted him to have fun minus me and my son and that is exactly what I got. I am so happy with the care and will be back there for services again.
Our experience with Precious Paws was amazing. Jackie took care of our dog while we were out of town. It was a peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We’ll definitely use her services again.
My experience with Precious Paws was amazing!! When I came to pick up my 2 year old lab she was so happy that she didn't want to leave. I'm most definitely going to use jackie (precious paws) in future reference.
Great dog sitter/walker. Never a problem leaving my dog there. 👍👍👍 …

I have used the team at Dirty Paws several times now. They always do a great job looking after my 3 cats, providing excellent communication and bring very well organized with how they complete all the requested tasks (feed cats, empty litter boxes, search for and clean up “accidents”). My cats are very shy, but have warmed up to the pet sitters they employ. Happy customer - will continue working with them for many years to come
At first we were hesitant has we've never left our Siberian husky alone or with someone else.. she's 15 months old and has some separation anxiety but Kenya and her team came through for us! They showed up at the designated times that we requested played with our dog fed her, played fetch, and let her go potty as our Luna loves to play fetch. Thank you Kenya and thank you for sending Stephanie Luna just loved her and Stephanie was fantastic with her.. will definitely be using them from now on
I've used the services of Dirty Paws Pet Sitting & Dog Walking several times now and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Kenya, the owner, made an in-home visit before any services were provided, which put me at ease. My cat is very shy, but Kenya and Madi and Kara have taken amazing care of him. They visit twice daily while I’m out of town for work, and I always receive pictures and updates after their visits. The convenience of the Time to Pet app is fantastic—it makes booking, messaging, and paying invoices for Dirty Paws a breeze. Their pricing is clear for each service and reasonable for this area. If you're looking for reliable and caring pet sitters, look no further than Dirty Paws!
We’ve worked with Kenya and the team at Dirty Paws for 9 or 10 years, and have always been extremely satisfied with their service. They are caring, have excellent communication, and extremely reliable. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking pet sitting.
Kenya and the Dirty Paws team are great! We can leave town with peace of mind knowing that our pets will be cared for by responsible, experienced animal lovers who send us delightful pics. One of our cats requires meds and Kenya always makes sure that she is clear on exactly how and when to give them. She's also a great communicator, and gets back to me quickly via text or phone. As with any high-quality service, it's important to request dates well ahead of time as her services are in high demand. I recommend Kenya and her team without hesitation.
I’ve been a Dirty Paws customer for over 3 years and I am obsessed with Kenya and my dogs love her so much. I have used all her services: dog walking, in-home overnight pet sitting and transportation. Dog walking (5/5): My dogs were walked by a wonderful woman employed by Kenya name Elizabeth. You can tell Kenya makes sure to hire people who love dogs and treat them as if they were theirs. On days when Elizabeth could not walk the dogs Kenya would happily step in. Kenya is very flexible and is happy to accommodate last minute walks (if she has the capacity). After each walk your are sent a photograph of your puppies. 😊 In-home overnight pet sitting (5/5): When staying over in your home the sitter is there to keep your dog company while you’re away. They get a night walk, fed dinner and then a morning walking and breakfast. Transportation (5/5): Kenya runs this service herself and it’s amazing since I do not drive. She takes my dogs to the groomers every few weeks. Kenya also takes my dogs to the vet for their quick vaccination shots since vets were not allowing you to go inside but rather needed to collect the dogs from a parked car. I am so happy to have met someone like Kenya as she is so kind and really loves your animals and truly loves what she does. I highly recommend trusting your pets with her care.
Kenya took care of our 2 cats for a weekend recently. She followed the instructions we left to a T. We are grateful to have a found a reliable pet sitting service with Dirty Paws!
AMAZING Service. You will not be disappointed. Their team goes above and beyond with their care for your pet. I can trust that my cat will be in good hands when I am far away from home. I appreciate their report and photos after each visit. They will give the proper attention and care that your pet needs. I highly recommend booking your pet sitting services with them!
Kenya and team at Dirty Paws Pet Sitting will go above and beyond to take care of your pets as if they are family. I have used several different pet sitting services in the past, and none of them compare to Dirty Paws. The communication and care is top notch. I was never worried about my dogs and knew that they were getting excellent attention and love while I was out of town.
I have been a customer of Dirty Paws pet service for over a year now. The owner , Kenya, is professional,dependable,caring and responsible. She or one of her team comes to my home when I schedule one of the services. They play with my dogs, send me a message and pictures after each visit. My dogs love Kenya and all the members of her team! Dirty Paws has an app that makes scheduling, payment and communication very easy. She offers many different services for your pets and is dependable and caring!
My shitzu loves it here. She is always excited when we pull into the parking lot. They hide her lots of loves and snuggles.
I've been bringing my Australian Shephard here to A Pet Villa for quite a few years. They've been amazing, and he loves coming here. They're competitively priced, and very flexible when it comes to delays in being able to pick him up when I've had to travel and results in flight delays and cancelations. Being able to bring him here and know he's taken care of, and seeing his excitement when we arrive is more than assurance that they love him here and he loves seeing them and his fellow dog friends. Thank you so much for always being there to take care of my Riley!
A Pet Villa makes our pup happy. They are easy to reach, convenient to the airport, flexible, and provide details about his days. We always use this boarding service!
I recently had the pleasure of boarding my beloved Pitbull Sammie, at A Pet Villa and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean, welcoming environment and the friendly, professional staff. The facility itself is top-notch—spacious play areas, comfortable sleeping accommodations, and a secure environment made me feel confident that Sammie was in great hands. Sammie came home happy, healthy, and even a little sad to leave his new friends behind! The attention to detail, the personalized care, and the genuine affection the team showed for the dogs made all the difference. If you’re looking for a reliable, and caring place, A Pet Villa is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
We LOVE a pet villa!! Our dog has been going here since she was 4 months old, including boarding. She always has so much fun and we love seeing her pics on their instagram! They also do a great job trimming her nails.
I have a Belgian Malinois who is very high energy and at first, very anxious dog but if given the chance, can warm up and be very loving. A Pet Villa Staff gave my dog the opportunity and were patient with him. Now he loves going there every time. Prices are reasonable as well.
We love taking Stewie here. They always take care of him whether he’s going there for grooming or when we need to board him. I definitely recommend that you take your fur babies here.
I brought in Archer for a meet and greet and immediately he loved the team. I was so happy they had the patience and took the time to build his confidence with the other dogs. When I came to pick him up, he was so excited and happy. He did not want to leave without saying bye to the team members at pick up. His report card was super helpful too! After Jackie told me about the packages, I made sure to make the purchase. When not visiting his grandparents, he will be hanging out with his buddies at Pet Villa :)
We have used A Pet Villa many times over the years and have been perfectly happy with our dogs' stays. No issues to report. Booking has always been easy and reliable. Definitely recommend!
My dog Bentley has been boarding here for two years now and absolutely LOVEs A Pet Villa and their staff. I know he’s well taken care of and I feel so much better knowing he’s with them when I have to be away for work. And they post the cutest photos of him too!
