Animal & travel lover - dependable (Non-smoker, vaccinated & boosted)
Diane was incredibly organized and efficient. We had a lengthy video chat before the almost two-week sit. She asked many questions to ensure she understood my kitty's routine, habits, needs, and personality. Every day during the sit Diane sent one or more photos of my kitty with a cute caption. Another sitter took over before I returned home. She (the other sitter) reported that my apartment was very clean when Diane left. Additionally, she said Diane graciously shared information about the sit and was generous with her time.

Recent grad working remotely and exploring new areas!
Joey and his friend Rebekka took such great care of Bernard! They took him to restaurants in the area, on hikes and walks around town. Our home was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. Highly recommend Joey!

A peaceful, responsible, and loving guy who cares for animals. Non smoker.
Alexander exceeded expectations. He was patient wih our Bedlington Terrier, Lucy, and she liked him. He did take her outside pretty often and kept us informed that she was eating well and behaving as usual. There were no issues with the house or its condition when we returned home. We would be happy to have Alexander for a future sit.

Nurse & Pet Rescue Volunteer who will care for your pets & home like my own
Tracy has housesit for me before and she was wonderful then and she was wonderful again this year. Also, Alex is an added plus because he loves my cat Rocky almost as much as I do. They are the most reliable pet sitters you can ask for, and they will love your pet as if he is their own. They waited For me to arrive home from my trip, which was very kind. Do not hesitate to hire them in the future.

Caring and respectful, loving and gentle small close family ready to sit for you
Thawn, Mae (&Pitchey) were absolutely delightful. When I was leaving for my trip, they helped me collapse my dog stroller & Thawn started my motorcycle (as I was concerned about the battery). Absolutely so kind, helpful- even left me a couple of small gifts!! They were way, way above expectations! I was soooo lucky to have them!!

Let us love on your fur babies while you're away.
Rachel and Andy were great. We'd definitely use them again. Communication was great and our 4 fur babies loved them.

Responsible, fun, and caring pet lover.
We can not say enough wonderful things about Julie Miller. She is great with our golden retriever , Lasso. Julie is very attentive and very tidy. Our home was spotless upon our return and Lasso was a very happy boy. Julie is welcome in our home anytime and we highly recommend her to sit for anyone wanting a mature and conscientious person to care for your home and pets.

Digital nomads searching for furry, /feathery/scaly cuddles
Yaritza took excellent care of Rochester and Raven. She informed me when Raven had eaten part of a toy and had tummy trouble. My house looked just the way I left it. Thanks for keeping the pups company and texting me photos and keeping me in the loop!

Liza and Dennison
Liza and Dennison were great sitters! They were very communicative and sent lots of pictures of our dogs. They were neat and tidy as well and took great care of the house. We would be happy to host them anytime.
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
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!
Cindy is an absolutely fantastic sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her care for our dog and our home whilst we went on our family holiday. Her communication before and throughout our sit was fantastic, and she even took our dog to the vet when he needed an unexpected checkup. She took great care of him and sent daily updates including videos and photos of their time together. We could tell that he felt very relaxed in her company. Thank you so much Cindy - it is a real godsend to have someone so kind and caring to take care of your pets and home and we would be delighted to have Cindy back again in future.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
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!
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

We had a great experience with Kasie and Crazy Paws! We were gone for 10 days and she took excellent care of our Corgi Ruby. She sent us updates and pictures along the way and was so nice and attentive to her. Thank you so much!!
Kasie is very professional and dependable! We really loved the status updates she shared while we were forced away from our fur-babies!
Five stars and more! Crazy Pawz is a very dedicated service for your animals, whether you’re on vacation, or any reason that requires some help with your pets. They will attend to every detail so you can feel confident in the care they provide. They can adjust to your requirements regarding feeding, exercise, and attention. Recently they cared for my two Border Collies, three times a day. That can be a challenge, but they loved their “vacation” (from us) and enjoyed special care from Kasie who fed, walked and played frisbee with them each day. She really has a special bond with them! Thank you Crazy Pawz!
Kasie and Abby are phenomenal with our two older dogs. We always know they will be very well taken care of while we are away. The pictures and texts are also great to receive. Highly recommend Crazy Pawz Pet Care.
It takes a lot for us to trust someone in our home and with our fur babies and the peace of mind we had the last few days knowing Kasie was there was truly amazing. She kept us in the loop and sent updates with the sweetest videos and photos of our furry kids! She more than loved on them and kept them well taken care of and safe. Kasie was so easy to work with, with booking and scheduling and made the entire experience a breeze. We cannot wait for her next stay!
So happy that we can depend on Kasie to care for our two cats when we are on vacation. She reliable and very attentive. I highly recommend her.
I cannot recommend Crazy Pawz Pet Care enough! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this team truly loves and understands animals. My pets always come home happy, well-maintained, and calm. The staff is incredibly professional, caring, and attentive, making sure every need is met. They go above and beyond to make sure each pet is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my fur babies are in the best hands when I’m away. Five stars all the way!
I had an unexpected last minute trip/vacation come up and needed a pet sitter for my cats. Kasie was able to help and did an amazing job. I highly recommend her.
Kasie was wonderful! She gave us daily updates on our pets that included photos and videos. Even though we only booked her for 30 minute visits she spent extra time keeping our pets company when she could. She also took out the garbage for us, and brought in any mail and packages that were delivered. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be using her in the future.
Kasie has watched our house twice and I foresee many more stays in our future! She takes care of our dog, cat, fish and chickens! It’s so nice knowing we can leave on vacation and our animal kids are being so well loved and taken care of. Kasie is efficient with responding and planning and makes the entire process really easy! We can’t thank her enough!
Jan was wonderful with our cats! I felt at ease leaving them with her. She even let them out of their crates to explore around in her grooming room & sun bathe in the window. Our one cat cried when he got back home, I think he wanted to go back with his new friend, Jan. 😅 Highly recommend Cambrian! Very affordable, as well. …
Our dog Flynn stayed for 6 days and he was very happy! He loved the owner and was well cared for and safe. The kennels are very secure because they are in a double fenced area. We are glad to have found such a great place for him to stay during the times when we are unable to bring him with us! The owner is an extremely kind woman and genuinely cares about animals and their complete well being. Update: Since this original post we have also had our other dog Oliver stay at Cambrian Kennel and Flynn stayed again as well. Both boys were happy and had a great stay. Wonderful caring and secure establishment!
Boarded the dogs there for 1 week. Also had their hair cuts done there. Pros: affordable prices, cares for animals dogs hair cuts looked good when we picked them up, very flexible on pick up dates . Cons: phone answering procedure could use improvement. Perhaps answering the phones and identifying your business would improve flow of phone conversation. There is an odor in the dog boarding area that seems to be either cigarette or cigar, even with grooming the dogs had this odor on then when picked up which requires giving them a bath as soon as we returned home.
We've been bringing our redbone coon hound here for over a year. She loves it and is treated very well. Prices are reasonable. I've seen reviews on here complaining about Jan. She can be gruff, but she's wonderful with animals. I trust her and think she does a great job.
It was my first time leaving my 2 yr old Nala...She did fine..Carol seems to be a lovely caring person...nice environment and her kennels are nice and cleaned. Will see you next time
I have been taking my dogs here for close to 10 years! Jan is caring, informative, and extremely professional with my dogs. I’m always at ease when they are boarded there. I wouldn’t take them anyplace else.
We love taking our dog Macie here! She always has a great stay when we go on vacation. The owner is wonderful, we know Macie is in good hands during her stay. She absolutely cares for the animals and it shows pricing is also very reasonable ! Highly recommend to anybody! Will be back again!
We bring our Airedale here. Beautiful property!! Here's some interesting info. When I walked up to the kennel to drop off my dog, it smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. I was hesitant, because I thought oh no my dog is going to smell like smoke. BUT I WAS WRONG! When I came back to pick her up, there was no smoke smell at all. I must have just walked up right after someone smoked a cigarette. Mia looked and smelled AMAZING! Airedales are hard to make look nice. She has a true gift. We could not have been happier. I am only writing this because I know some people are very turned off by cigarette smoke, but DON'T BE. Obviously the owners smoke (their prerogative), but if you smell it, don't worry, it she DOESN'T DO IT NEAR THE ANIMALS!!! They are the most wonderful people, too. Just gentle, kind women. Thanks!
Dropped our escape artist(hate cages and breaks free from all of them) Boxer, and our 10 month old Cane Corso off for the weekend. The boxer did great with no issues and they loved our Corso puppy. I was very nervous because its the first time we have ever boarded our babies and the experience was great.
I highly recommend board dogs here .She's absolutely great with mine. He comes home happy and clean. Prices are very reasonable. Also ask about grooming. An excellent job was done on my Newfie.
When we had to make the difficult decision to put our sweet girl down, there was no question we wanted her last moments to be at peace in her own home. Not only did Dr. Salinger make that happen, but she could not have been more compassionate toward us through the experience. She scheduled with us quckly. She patiently answered our questions and explained each step until our final goodbyes. She comforted us and offered words of wisdom that clearly came from personal experience. There are not enough words to express our heartfelt gratitude for making her last moments so peaceful. She has our unending gratitude. ❤️
Dr. Becky was truly an angel for our beloved Willow, English Mastiff who had no signs of dying that morning but had a significant decline and needed to be put to sleep gently in her own home. Thank you for bringing kindness and compassion to Willow and our family at such a difficult time. We are eternally grateful for the gentleness you provided to all of us.
My husband and I lost our beautiful tuxedo Zorro just over a month ago to cancer very unexpectedly. It was a very difficult time and Dr. Becky was very caring and compassionate in helping our beautiful boy cross the rainbow bridge. Before Dr. Becky arrived to our home, she was also very kind with taking time to listen to my questions as to whether it was time to say goodbye to our sweet fur baby💔. I truly appreciate her kindness and advice in helping us make a very difficult decision. Thank you Dr. Becky♥️🙏🙏🌈
Dr. Salinger was Kongs vet for a very long time. It has taken me a while to right this. He was the best dog. She has always been wonderful, kind and caring. You can definitely tell she cares about what she does. I am so grateful for everything she did for us.
Dr. Salinger made a sad terrible day a little easier. She was very compassionate and caring. We are very thankful for her and helping make this sad process.
Dr.Becky was so kind and unobtrusive while we sat with Murphy out in the green grass while he relaxed and finally crossed over rainbow bridge in his own surroundings. This was the best Euthanasia experience we've ever had and we will use A Gentle Crossing again when the time comes.
Dr Salinger came to our home when my sister and I needed to say goodbye to our old boxer.This old dog that brought love, comfort, and companionship to our lives. She will not be forgotten, she is worthy of remembering. Dr Salinger understood our grief; she helped us to feel not so alone. Our lovely girl was put to rest under a tree as we all sat around her telling stories of her life. Thank you Dr Salinger.
We have used Gentle Crossing for both of our cats. Both cats showed signs late, and they were close to 14 years old. Once diagnosed, both cats declined quickly. Recently I called Gentle Crossing in the evening, off hours - and got a return call within 15 minutes. Dr. Paulic was professional, extremely kind, and flexible. She texted with me and called me several times to check on Hosta's condition. She came over about 9:00 pm. Both times, we were impressed with the sensitivity, understanding, and communication. We chose to receive the ashes, a paw print, and some fur, which was hand-delivered about a week later. It's comforting to look at those pieces. Dr. Paulic is wonderful and treated our furry family members with love and with care. We will use Gentle Crossing again without hesitation (hopefully not for awhile).
We are beyond grateful for finding Dr. Salinger and A Gentle Crossing. Our 17 year old Rosie was struggling the last few months and we tried everything possible to make her feel better but her age took over. We thought she was turning the corner the last 3 days but on the 4th is was a rapid decline in the afternoon. It was a Friday and the vet offices were closed (thank goodness) and I couldn't torment her putting her the carrier to go to emergency. I called A Gentle Crossing and received an immediate call back. We didn't live close to her but she was her in 45 minutes. My husband and I were a mess but Dr. Salinger was so compassionate and really listened to Rosie's story. I never felt rushed or under pressure. I am so relieved that we didn't have to put Rosie in the carrier she hated so much and she was able to cross peacefully in her own home. This will be from now on, the only way we let our furbabies cross over. I wish I lived closer to Dr. Salinger 's practice because I would take our furbabies to her. Thank you Dr Salinger, you are forever in our hearts!
I don't know how to put into words the difference that Dr. Becky made when it came time to put our beloved 14 yr old pit pull to sleep. Of course Bentley needed a vet on the weekend when no vets are open except emergency vets. So I did some research and found Dr. Becky and a gentle crossing. She was an hour away and it was a Sunday, she got her things together and was at my house within 2 hours and made it possible for Bentley to pass at home laying in the sun with everyone who loved him around. I would highly recommend A Gentle crossing they compassionate, caring and are very good with the families and especially the animals. They handle them with the utmost respect. If I ever need this service again Dr. Becky and a gentle crossing will be my first and only call. Thank you Dr. Becky and A gentle crossing for all that you do to make a difficult time easier. Sincerely, The Baker family
We have used them 3 or 4 times and we're satisfied. Over the weekend our dogs were there. By Tuesday one began coughing. By last night the coughing and spitting up was uncontrollable. We took her to the vet first thing today and she was diagnosed with Kennel Cough. I called and notified the person who answered the phone. She told me that there hadn't been any other cases (our dogs aren't around any other dogs). Staff didn't show any empathy or say I'm sorry your dog is sick. Nothing. I understand that Kennel Cough is highly contagious and not always stopped with a vaccine but if it happens at your facility please own it. It is for that reason we will not be back.
We’ve been taking our dog, Bambino, here for years for boarding a couple of times a year. He’s a deaf boxer so he is A LOT of work! They’re extremely patient with him and greet him with open arms every time we come in. They adjust his play area based on his behavior. I leave there knowing he will be well taken care of. He absolutely loves going there - he scratches at the car window as we pull into the driveway!! I highly recommend A1! (A couple of pics of him resting after a week being at A1 ❤️)
Courteous staff that doesn’t make you drop off your dog during some ridiculous skinny window of time! The staff seems to really love their jobs. They’re smiling, they’re happy and the atmosphere is a warm and friendly compared to just about any other boarding facility I’ve ever taken mydogs. When I pick up my dogs, they’re always happy, never skinny , they look well taken care of and knowing that the staff likes their jobs makes me feel comfortable, dropping off my pets!
These are the sweetest people! My dogs love them! Laura is so good with them! My fur babies look amazing!! Thank you so much! AND I was able to afford it!!
I picked up my dog after being there for 3 nights (our first time here) and he was coughing horribly and was extremely fatigued. I called my vet who told me that he likely contracted kennel cough. On top of him getting kennel cough, his blood vessels in his eye had burst from coughing so hard. We had to cancel his surgery to get neutered because he was so sick. He was sick as soon as we got home so I’m assuming that he was starting to cough while at the kennel seeing how his blood vessel was burst. I never received a phone call and was not told anything about him being sick. I know that the workers can’t be around the dogs 24/7 but I just hope that if he was coughing while at the kennel that I would have been told.
Our girl loves visiting her friends at A1 B&B. She never hesitates to go there, so we know they take good care of her.
Have taken our black lab Finley here since he was a puppy and he is always so excited to go to A1 and we know when he has had a fun day playing when he comes home tired. So glad this dog daycare is near us
We have been taking pets to A1 Bed & Biscuit for over 12 years. My dog runs to the door as soon as we pull into parking lot. I feel she is well cared for and staff is terrific Once a few years ago she had signs of infection, the staff contacted my designated person, made appointment at our usual Vet and handled things perfectly. I was so thankful for their attention and observation before her eye got worse.
Great experiences with grooming and boarding for the past 4 years. Our golden doodle practically jumps out of the car window when we arrive to drop her off for boarding. She comes home exhausted because she’s had so much fun with the staff and the other dogs. Everyone has been very helpful and has always answered any questions we’ve had. The groomer does a fantastic job…Sadie comes home clean and fresh with a nice, even cut and trimmed nails. We have always had a great experience at A1.
A1 Bed & Biscuit Review - In loving memory of Duke I strongly urge anyone considering taking their dogs to A1 Bed & Biscuit to reconsider immediately! On Saturday, March 30th, 2024, I took my 9-year-old, St. Bernard, Duke, and my 11-year-old, English Bulldog, Brutus, for their monthly grooming visit. I was called as I was en route to pick up my dogs from the groomer. Laurie, the groomer, said that Duke had been panting excessively and could not stand up as his rear legs continued to give out. Laurie told me they put down rugs and towels to help Duke stand. When I arrived, Duke was in the hallway in complete distress. I picked up my dogs and called my wife to fill her in. Once I stopped home to drop off Brutus, we immediately went to Metropolitan Emergency Animal Hospital. Duke was taken back right away. The veterinarian broke the news to us that Duke suffered a heat stroke and had a temperature of 106, and needed to have a breathing tube inserted to stay alive as they ran further tests. Duke's bloodwork came back completely normal, and there were no underlying issues. Our son joined my wife and me while waiting in the private room. The veterinarian returned to update us on the side effects of heat stroke. Duke was in distress, and recovery was not likely. We were left with the difficult decision of putting our sweet baby boy down. Now wholly devastated, we returned home without our Duke. Laurie, his A1 Bed & Biscuit groomer called for an update. I told her that Duke was gone. I then received a random test message later that evening from what turned out to be Laurie's cell phone. Laurie expressed sincere compassion, which at the time seemed reassuring. Laurie even offered to pay our vet bill and stated how much she loved our dogs. I replied that it was not necessary as I, of course, thought this was a genuine act of kindness. On Sunday morning, I received another text from Tillie, an A1 Bed & Biscuit staffer. Again, she expressed her sympathy. Something felt off, though, as I reread her text messages and tried processing what had occurred. My wife and I discussed how this could happen and why it happened. We decided to ask Laurie some questions. It turns out Duke was left under a fan, which was different from what fans had been used on Duke in the past. Laurie admitted to talking it over with Tillie and said the fan motor generates heat. In my opinion, this is the only logical reason for Duke to have a heat stroke. I asked Laurie when she noticed Duke panting and his rear legs giving out. She answered it wasn't until she brought Duke over to do his final brush and nail trim. Laurie assumed Duke must have just been in pain. Laurie notified me that the fan had been taken out of service to prevent this from happening again, even though there had been no other incident. My final reply to Laurie was, that is a good thing, but it will never bring our Duke back! Her response: I'm so sorry. We believe they knew what happened, and if we hadn't asked the questions, we would never have gotten the answers. STAY CLEAR OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT if you LOVE your dogs!
We use fitness 4 pawz for doggie daycare and for boarding. Pretty sure Luna had more fun than we did on vacation! Would recommend fitness 4 pawz 100%!
Found this facility for our year old Cavalier and wasn't sure how we would do, let alone him for a week. But I'm happy to say Angie Kept me posted with pictures that kept my mind at peace and he just looked so happy!! I was happy when I picked him up and he did so well that I am even going to start taking him in for short 1 day daycare for him to just be with the other dogs and run around and play. Definitely would recommend and already have our next boarding appt scheduled .
There is no better place to have your fur baby watched while you go out of town than fitness4pawz. Angie and her team are amazing with our dogs and keep us up to date with pics and updates everyday. Angie is an amazing person who has a great team that helps. When im on vacation, my doggies are too!! And i can tell they miss her when we get them back. We will continue to use her amazing service.
We have taken our Maltipoo/poodle Baby to this place for a few years and we must say it's the best in Northeast Ohio..Angie the owner, and her team are so loving,caring and have a schedule to follow daily. These dogs are so happy here. Recently we took Baby and it was her fifth birthday .Angie made treats for she and the dog's there for a party. Party hats and all. They also send pictures of your dog and what he or she is doing daily...I can not say enough good things about Fitness4pawz..Its wonderful..❤️💞🐩💞
First time we used a boarding service for our dog and we were a little nervous but Angie and her team kept us informed from the moment our pug ate breakfast till the time she went to bed. Our Stella was very well taken care of and we will definitely be going back.
So grateful for Angie and her staff at Fitness4pawz. I’ve never left my pup with anyone before and she makes you feel so safe and secure by treating your dogs like her own. We’ve used Angie in the past for our other dogs and the quality of her business just keeps getting better and better. She puts so much time, effort, and money into her grounds and her business just keeps growing! You can tell it’s her life’s passion. Your dogs are never just put into a kennel and left, they are constantly played with and allowed to run and play. It makes me feel less guilty leaving for trips now.
I was always so sad to have to leave our baby to board when we went on vacation. But soon realized how AWESOME this place is! Tanker would go through withdrawals after getting home from boarding and not having the interaction of all the other dogs. So I started taking him once a week to daycare here to let him play and interact with the other dogs. Now we are on a waiting list to get in him twice a week!! He LOVES his daycare day playing with his friends!!! He goes crazy when I ask him if he wants to go play with his friends!! This place is like none other around! The dogs are always active and outside and not just ‘boarded up.’ Angie and her team love these dogs like they are her own kids!! I will never go anywhere else as long as Fitness4Paws is around!! Tanker looks forward to his daycare day and playing with his friends!! Thank you Angie and Team!
Fitness4pawz has been fantastic with my puppy . He loves to go to play with all the other dogs. Staff is awesome, security is perfect. I never worry about leaving him there. And you get updates all day with pictures. Super affordable as well. We love FITNESS4PAWZ!
The owner is super knowledgable and friendly. They truly care for your dog and take good safety measures. They have an awesome property for the pups to play. The schedule minimizes pickup interactions with other dog pickups. Great prices, highly recommend.
If you are looking for boarding or daycare for your dog, I highly recommend FITNESS 4 PAWZ. Angie is very knowledgeable about dog behavior, is meticulous about keeping all areas clean, is constantly adding more play areas and enrichment activities, AND cost is very reasonable. I moved from the area and still drive 45 minutes each way to bring my dog to Fitness 4 Pawz. Thanks, Angie for all you and your great workers do! Pat
My Great Pyrenees Sugar had an overgrown dew claw that the groomer missed. I was able to take her into the clinic the same day that I called and I wasn't charged for the service! I've used Austinburg Vet for all my dogs and cat over the past 10 years since I moved to the area. Dr. Salinger and team are always friendly, knowledgeable, kind and professional. Thank you Austinburg Veterinary Clinic.
Dogs came down with coughing sneezing and they saw them that same day they were helpful they were friendly and very knowledgeable I will be bringing the dogs back to them in the future for other needs
Do not recommend this place. They lied about my dog. They said that my puppy is full grown when she’s not because if she was, she would’ve been a lot bigger and she’s not. She’s literally puppy size do not recommend this place. I would not go to this place, especially if you have a dog
I had a very good experience with them they were friendly answered my questions was in and out with not long waiting. When I talked about comfort care being our dog is 13 has bad arthritis and other health issues they understood and said they would help with whatever we needed. No unnecessary tests. Good to see they care about our dog not to put him through anymore pain than what he is going through already. I also needed help getting him in the car because its hard for him to get in and out of vehicles now. (This will probably be his last trip out 😥) She walked out with us and was very patient with him and helped me get him in the car. Dr Chris Martin was very thorough noticed a growth or something he probably has had and other vets didn't notice with his check up's but I thought it was something normal. I was impressed! Close to home . I would recommend Austinburgh to others. Wish he could have been going there sooner. 🥰
I have been taking my animals here for almost 20yrs. These ladies don't mess around, are honest, to the point and have never let me down. My fur kids LOVE these girls. Lucky gets so very excited when I tell him we are going to see his "girl friends". When we arrive he pulls me to the door! They treat my babies like they are family.
First time visit. They were so kind to gunner. Very thorough. Went on a recommendation from my neighbors. Glad to now call them my dogs vet.
This place was amazing. Very clean. The nurse and Dr were very attentive and so sweet. They took very good care of my very sick baby Jinx ❤️
We love our Veterinarian and staff. Anytime we have a issue with our fur baby they get us in and take wonderful care of him. Friendly and very caring staff. Affordable as well.
Just a HUGE thank you to the entire staff of Austinburg vet clinic for one getting us in and two taking outstanding care of Max for us this morning in an emergency situation. The entire staff is clearly passionate about their jobs. Much respect and appreciation. RIP max aka old dog you will be missed.
They were able to get my cat in the same day and get her the care she needed for her eye. The tech and Dr. Salinger were wonderful. It's been 3 days and my cat is doing well. Front desk staff is so nice. I know I can count on all of them to do the right thing. I'm relieved of my anxiety that my cat is doing well. Thanks to all!
One of the best decisions we've made in the care of our 2 pups was to hire Carleen. Always on time and willing to work with our needs without hesitation. Our pups LOVE her and the peace of mind knowing she'll be visiting them each day gives us great comfort.
Carleen is amazing!!! We are so very grateful to have her! Our dog Ruthie loves her so much!!! It is wonderful to be able to go on a trip and not worry about our pets, and know that they are being well taken care of and loved. Carleen is very professional and reliable. She even sends adorable pictures which means a lot to my son and I when we are away and missing our cuties. 🥰❤️
Carleen is amazing! Our original pet sitter fell through when we were going out of the country and we were lucky to have Carleen available with only 2 weeks notice. Our dog Duchess loves when Carleen comes to walk her and spend time with her! We always get notifications and cute pictures of Duchess' time with her.
Carleen is amazing!! My husband and I work long days, which is hard for my two dogs. Especially my senior dog. So, having Carleen stop by in the middle of the day to take my fur babies on a walk is perfect!! And when the weather is terrible and a walk isn't able to happen, she lets them out for a potty break and will sit and play with them for a bit. She is so professional and trustworthy and I cannot recommend her enough!
Carlene is amazing!! Zander and Akira just love her-not even sure they miss me!! They love the attention, play time, belly rubs etc. I also love that she sends pix, notifies me of everything going on with them. Carleen gives medicine, cleans ears ,applies medicine- she takes care of my pups as if they were her own.. I can't say enough great things about her!! Her daughter sometimes comes as well and my pups love her as well. 10 stars* if I could!
Carleen is so good with my 2 boys. They really enjoy her visits and I know they are safe for the remainder of the day. The app she uses is incredibly convenient for all aspects of the service. We love you Carleen! Freddie & Carl
I trust Carleen of Barks to Meows Pet Sitting completely. It is so comforting to receive her photos, taken each day, of our pets at their bowls, enjoying their meals. And though they hide from most people, my outdoor cats are not afraid of Carleen. They know she is caring for them.
We love Carly's business. She's been a lifesaver for us. Whenever we have an occasion that we will be gone for a period of time, we are so thankful we can count on her to visit our Riley while we are gone. We feel very comfortable knowing she will be there to take care of her. She's a very reliable pet sitter and loves what she does.
I strongly recommend PlayPals Pet Care! Kyla has taken exceptional care of our dog every time she has gone to PPC for either day camp or to stay for up to two weeks (30+ visits). Our puppy has always come back to us healthy and happy, which is surprising that she is a bit antisocial! We get lots of pictures of her when we are away and they always show a happy, active dog. Kyla takes special care of all her animals and has given us great advice for our dog's health - all of which has been right on the mark. Could not recommend PlayPals Pet Care more!
I would recommend Kyla and PlayPals Pet Care to anyone. Kyla offers experienced, affordable, safe and engaging care for dogs. I have found my forever second mom for my Bella, who has thrived since going to PlayPals Pet Care and benefiting from Kyla's amazing and appreciated services. Communication is fantastic and the engaging safe care of my dog Bella gives me peace of mind to give her a safe, fun place for daycamp and allows me to go enjoy my vacations worry free. Thank you Kyla for doing what you do, you're 1 of 1 and very appreciated!
Our experience with Kyla's PlayPals Pet Care was exceptional. We were in town due to family needs that had to take precedence over our pup Coco. Kyla, aka Pet Angel, provided the attention and care for our Coco while we were caring for family. With Kyla's care, Coco was not stressed by our absence and, instead, made new friends and burned off lots of puppy energy. And, unexpected bonus, Coco was always clean and spruced up at pick up! We couldn't be more grateful for Kyla. I highly recommend her day care!
Our dog Tito loves spending time at PlayPals Pet Care. Tito was anti-social with other dogs until he met Kyla the owner. She treats all her pet guests like family. When we mention Kyla’s name, Tito goes wild wagging his tail wanting to jump in the car to go spend the day with her. Kyla is truly a dog whisperer!
Deciding to use Playpals Pet Care aka Kyla was the BEST decision for both Lainey and I. Lainey was shy and stubborn. I’m a helicopter dog mom. The first day Lainey shook with nervousness. Fast forward to today. I can’t open the car door without her going nuts. She can barely contain herself on the ride to Kylas. I can’t get her belt off fast enough. Lainey is comfortable, trusting, excited and content with Kyla. As a crazy dog mom, i trust her with my baby 100%. Her attention to detail and safety in her home is unmatched. She thinks of everything when it comes to their well being. Lainey and I hit the doggy lottery when we found Kyla! Thank you for all you do! Love, Lainey & Kristen ❤️
Kyla is like no one I have seen or known. She is truly passionate and the most knowledgeable care taker I have seen. She keeps the dogs in line but they have a blast and wag their tails as soon as we pull in the driveway. I highly recommend her.
I highly recommend Kyla. My dog requires a strict feeding schedule due to chronic pancreatitis and irritable bowel disease. Kyla takes great care of her, and she makes sure my dog’s routine is followed. Kyla regularly sends photos and updates. My dog is always so happy in the photos! Kyla also provides a grooming service. She does an excellent job. I really appreciate the great care Kyla provides!
Play Pals is an excellent service for your furry family member. Kyla is a caring, highly experienced animal caregiver who stays in daily communication with the owner. I was very hesitant to leave my chihuahua when having to travel to an out of town wedding. Kyla kept me well informed and alleviated the anxiety I felt so I could have a relaxed fun family time. You can trust that your loved animal is in excellent hands with Play Pals!🐶😻 I have also taken my dog for a “Spa Day” with Kyla and she LOVES it!! I never worry when I leave my fur baby in Kyla’s care!
I was the dad that fought and fought and fought getting a dog. Once my family broke me, I quickly fell in love with our Jasmine and realized that not just any sitter would do. Fortunately, we met Kyla as soon as we got Jasmine. Early on, camp days were used to help Jasmine socialize with other dogs, relieve her anxiety and prepare for overnights. Three years later, Jasmine is just like the other dogs you'll read about in the testimonials...ready to jump out of the car without saying goodbye when I drop her off...ready to play with her friends. Beyond trusting Kyla with the health and safety of our dog, she has been an amazing resource regarding some of the issues we've encountered as new dog parents. We continue to lean on her for guidance as we navigate parenting. Auntie Kyla is going to have to stay around forever, because our family doesn't want to take Jasmine anywhere else.
Kyla is truly the best! She takes impeccable care of the dogs who stay with her! She’s very experienced with dogs and she’s an excellent communicator. You will get updates and know your dog is the great hands! Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Thanks for all you do Kyla!
Highly recommend! Kristen and Kathy are great. We have a Newfoundland and he can be a lot for people :). They both show him so much love and take such good care of him when we are away. I appreciate the daily updates. Reliable and trustworthy people.
Super reliable, very sweet with our girl! They take great care of her and are good with regard to communicating with me about her. It’s a relief to have Always With Alex when we need them.
We consider ourselves so lucky to have found such a loving, trustworthy, amazing sitter for our furbabies. We all know it’s tough trusting someone with your kiddos. We have been honored to have trusted in Alex for many years, and more recently Gabby. I always joke about how disappointed our dogs are to see us when we get home because of how much they are spoiled while we are gone! Now, several of our friends are also in the Always with Alex family and I love seeing the FB and IG updates of their pets. I absolutely recommend them to everyone I know.
I haven't gone out of town for an extended period in a long time because I was worried about my cats. One is on medication and I wasn't sure anyone besides me would be able to administer it without her freaking out, but Gabby did it! She took the best care of of my babies. She sent so many pictures and updates! It reduced my anxiety about leaving them, allowing me to enjoy my vacation. And I think they fell in love, I swear they are still looking for her! 10/10 would recommend. I've already booked her for my next vacation 😻
Alex & Gabby are the best! I have a very nervous dog who is afraid of most people, but she loves Alex & Gabby. They make it possible for me to travel without worry - completely reliable, flexible and always providing pictures and updates. Prices are very reasonable, and their service is exceptional.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience! My dogs have only ever been left with family or friends and I was extremely nervous about being gone and leaving them with someone. I have a senior dog with some issues and a younger dog that isn’t great with other dogs (and sometimes people) but Gabby made me feel so comfortable and my dogs loved her. She kept me updated with texts and pictures the whole time, and when I got home my dogs seemed so happy and relaxed. I will be recommending Always with Alex to everyone I know!
Alex has taken care of Gus for years now. She is super dependable, knowledgeable, and loves the pets she takes care of. I don’t know what I would do without her
Alex makes our pups so comfortable and happy! Amazing service
