Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Made appt a month ago for bath & hair cut. Go in & told i just scheduled for bath, which i know wasnt so. Wanted to reschedule me. They decided to get SOMEONE to groom my dog. When i picked her up her cut was very nicely done, but she had NOT been bathed. She still stunk & toenails were still real long. Paid $85 for haircut! And no bath! Guess this area needs a new reputable dog groomer.
What a shock! Never had a problem with them before. We have been taking our dogs here for the past year to be groomed every 2-3 months and boarded them also. Called to get a grooming appointment and were told we were "not regular customers and would have to be put on a wait list". I guess us common folk will have to find another grooming and boarding location.
Love the staff, they love all the pets! Always enjoy bringing Lainey here for baths and boarding. They always have a smile for you and take great care of your fur baby. I love her smelling like blueberries!
The staff here care for your pets like they are family. I have been taking my pet family there for 15 years. I have had them bathed, groomed, and boarded. They have reasonable prices and my animals love them back.
We have boarded our dogs here for at least the past ten years, beginning when we moved to the area. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is always kind and helpful. Some friends have commented that they are too expensive, but to know that our pets are well cared for is worth a few extra dollars.
We always have a great experience here.Our dog loves it.
They are so great with my dog (bo) he loves them there they really listen to everything you tell them recommended.
I've been taking my dogs there for years!! Great people who do a great job.
This place is wonderful. They treat our dogs like they are their dogs. We have our dogs groomed here as well, and their boarding services are top notch. They came highly recommended to us and now I Highly Recommend them to you.
Both of my doggies love this place. They come out smelling good and looking snazzy. (They are boys). Highly recommend
We take our dogs here. Staff is so kind and great with my dogs! They will even go out side to trim my boy dogs nails due to his afraid of everything and weight is over 100lbs lol
Super nice staff easy to do business with an most importantly I trust them with my pet we board her there and they take very good care of her send me pictures and updates I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else 😊 …
Awesome staff! Great grooming! And our doggie, who I might add is 75lbs thinks he was the king going here. He was pampered and loved on, and was able to take his security blanket aka dog bed and favorite toy for his stay. The staff kept us up to date on how he was doing and even did glamor shots of him. Absolutely would recommend this place again for our doggie. This will always be his home away from home.
Great job on my Sophie! She tends to be very cranky when having her facial hair or nails cut and they always have her looking good!
They're wonderful people and take great care of our pets. We boad and use their grooming services. Our pets will go nowhere else.
Amazing prices, fantastic staff, and you can really tell they love and cherish every pet that comes through their doors.
My animals love Jen and her staff,highly recommend!
Our dog had always been traumatized after grooming sessions. Took her to Jen today, Piddles came home relaxed and happy! And her cut was exactly what we ask for! Thanks Jen & crew!!!
Great care and communication as well as super fair pricing for by dogs!
Took our Buster there for first time. Jen was great, Buster looked great and great price. Would highly recommend.
I was worried getting ready to go on vacation about where my dog would stay and have fun and be safe without being kenneled all day, I contacted Brayla because I had seen her Facebook page and seen how happy every single dog looks! She kept my boys for 4 days and gave me updates every single day along with pictures of my goofy boys! They had so much fun and made so many new friends, definitely will be going to her again!
I am always hesitant about leaving my bulldog anywhere because he is high maintenance (lazy but high maintenance) Brayla took such great care of my baby. She sent me pictures to let me know he was ok and adjusting well. He has been there a couple times for boarding. When I go to get him, Brayla always hugs his neck and talks so sweet to him. Makes me feel like they bonded. I highly recommend Spark N Bark.
Amazing place! My two dogs went for boarding and had the best time! The owner is wonderful with my girls and treat them like they are her own. My boxer usually does not do well around other dogs or new places, so I was extremely nervous boarding her for the first time, but she absolutely thrived here! She ended up socializing and interacting with all kinds of other dogs. The owner was so understanding, accommodating, and helpful especially when I had a family emergency and had to extend their stay another few days. My girls will be back boarded and day care at spark-n-bark! 100% recommend!
Our fur babies were welcomed into Brayla’s home with open arms and lots of kisses. We felt extremely comfortable leaving both of them with her the for the weekend. She kept in touch with us by sending pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated. It is always nice to see them happy and playing. We will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her.
Brayla has a heart of gold caring for all her clients dogs, she truly treats them as one of her own. Daycare--my dogs come home happy and exhausted after spending the day here! Boarding--My dogs did great while under Brayla's care. She communicated often with pictures and general updates. She followed all instructions with their eating and medications.
We have struggled with many places to board our big guy Bacon. He had the best time here last weekend and will be coming back many many many times. Brayla sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he did with other animals and how his health was in our absence as that has been an issue with other places not keeping us informed when issues would come up. He had an amazing time, and was even given a little baggie of yummy treats for the road, will definitely be recommending spark n bark to my friends and family.
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Brayla and her sweet husband were to our fur baby Brandy. We were so apprehensive leaving her. Brayla shared pictures and videos of our baby and you could just see the love and joy. We were even afraid she wouldn’t like being back at our boring house after bringing her home…..Lol. I highly recommend Brayla. She’s the best. What a great feeling it is to go away on vacation knowing your precious fur baby is loved and taken care of. ❤️‼️. Karen and Bill Needy.
This pet sitting service has been nothing short of perfect for me and my husky. I have taken my puppy here for several months now about 3 times a week & would take her everyday if I could. Anytime we have had unexpected situations and need to leave our dog here, we have been able to and were welcomed with open arms. Brayla has done such a great job & will make sure your animal is happy all the time. I HIGHLY recommend!!
My pup Bowser LOVED going to Spark-N-Bark! He will definitely be going back when we need daycare again. He is a high energy dog and was wonderfully worn out by the time I picked him up everyday. It was super good for him. The owner was super nice and even adjusted her drop off time to work with my schedule. Amazing. Bowser can’t wait to go back! ❤️
Goose LOVES going to daycare!! He’s been going here since he was 3 months old and Brayla has watched him grow up and has loved him ever since. She treats all of the dogs like they are her own! She is always contacting me about how Goose is doing there and sends me tons of goofy pics of my sweet boy! 10000/10 recommend.
