Dog Sitters in Barnhart

What a Spectacular place for our Shepherd/ Malinois. I loved their staff and concern for our dog and his first stay. They have an amazing set up. Gabriel was a Happy Camper and we will return!

My dogs were boarded there for 8 nights and were treated like queens! When we picked them up they would have been fine and just as happy to turn around and go back and stay a while longer! Talk about spoiling! They integrate the dogs slowly and carefully into the groups they would be most comfortable. They really give a lot of love and care to each and every dog! It's a great place and I'm sure we are going to sign up for a couple days of daycare now too! Very happy and satisfied customers 🐕‍🦺🦮

Staff is very friendly and kind. You can tell they all really love our pets. Told exactly what immunizations were needed, given, and never asked about again. Quoted 1 price, never told anything different. Very affordable, and most importantly my pet loved it! He loves to go visit his friends now.

A leash free doggie daycare and boarding house for dogs no exclusions on breeds only that shots and spay & neuter be complete a lovely well thought out and fun extension of home with an awesome staff and an array of well socialized dogs will help your dog be socially friendly and cared about may also help nervous or unsure pets feel confident.I love this place .thumbs up

Prices are fair they seem to have several dog sickness outbreaks a year which I understand is out of their control but still be aware when taking your dog there

Great place, very pet friendly. Pets are well looked after, my buddy is always tuckered out when he gets home. They have grooming there on site so you can drop off your pet and pick him up on your way home and he will be smelling good and looking better. They have better pricing and seem to do a better job than the Big Pet Stores.

A Howling Good Time has been wonderful for our Sam. He’s a rescue with multiple medical issues, anxiety, doesn’t like men … the staff is so caring and somehow they get the BEST pics of him!! Seriously, the staff and owner, Christina, are AMAZING!! So happy we found them! It’s the ONLY place we will board Sam - the staff are on-site 24/7. I would never trust my pup with a boarder that wasn’t there all the time. Thank you guys for loving Sam when he runs in the door smiling!!!

A Howlin’ Good Time helped us in our very urgent need to fly across the country. They allowed us to drop off our two pups after hours on short notice, and took exceptional care of them so we could focus on our family. We are 100% grateful for this business and highly recommend them!!!

When I started here I had never used doggy daycare, and I was nervous that strangers would not take the same care I would. However, I have a high energy puppy who I would rather not leave at home bored every day. My pup acted a little nervous on day one (lots of sounds and smells) but everyone was nice. By day 2, my dog was pulling me into the building freaking out from the excitement of being there. He was greeted by name at the front, and he ran to the receptionist to greet her. The fact that we was so immediately happy to be there while surrounded by the same (somewhat overwhelming) sounds and smells made me feel so much better! We go probably 2-3 days per week now. We had one incident where his ear was bitten while playing, and the staff called me immediately to let me know what was going on and how they handled it. (He was fine, and we are dog park regulars so I know how dogs play!) My dog now runs straight to the back door when we arrive, and tries to push it open to get to the play area! He comes how happy and exhausted, which is the whole point. We love this place!

We have been taking our Athena girl here for almost a full year now. She gets so excited when she knows it's "daycare day" and when I drop her off she drags me inside haha. I know she is in great hands there, the staff are all very nice and show her lots of love and attention. She is a very high energy dog so I don't know what we would do without being able to send her here for a couple days a week to burn some of her energy. We also sign her up every 4-6 weeks to be groomed by the independent groomer there, she does a fabulous job. At one point we checked out another daycare in the area and it just did not have the same vibe as A Howling Good Time does- they treat us like family here.

Very reasonable prices. My dogs were well taken care of. Trixie said she had a lot of fun and made new friends. Stormy, typical Chow that he is, wasn't as impressed 🙄 But it would be ok if he went back. He much prefers to go with his mom! This is a smaller business that impressed me. My preference is supporting family owned and ran businesses. I will not hesitate to take my babies back.

We followed Amanda from White House and would highly recommend their facility to everyone. It is obvious that Amanda and her family are in this business for the love of animals. She is so good and loving to the dogs and you can tell how much all the animals love her. THANK YOU Amanda and Family for the kindness and love you share with your boarders (and our girls).

Amanda and her family are THE best. I have never left any of my dogs with anyone but family, so I was nervous to say the least the first time we boarded. I 100% trust my dogs with Amanda. She has taken care of our dog and loved and spoiled her more than we do dare I say. This is not just a business but a passion for Amanda and her family and it 100% shows in the facility, how she runs everything, and how the dogs absolutely love and respond to her. Thank You Amanda for being THE best !!!

Had an excellent experience! They were professional and watched both of my dogs closely! Made adjustments as needed for personality differences between them and other dogs! Will definitely be using them again!

I fully second dream weaver's review! Having recently broken an ankle, I was fortunate to be able to leave my dog in Amanda's (and her family's) care for eight weeks. To say that I never worried about Saki during that time would be an understatement. When I picked her up the other day she looked just as good as when I first dropped her off -- if not better! In fact, after all the excitement she experienced -- having playtime with other dogs, cats, and children, I'm now a bit concerned that she might be bored being back home. : ) If you live in St. Louis, don't be put off by the drive to Imperial. It's worth going the extra few miles for that peace of mind knowing your furry friend will, indeed, be treated like one of the family. And, if Saki could talk, I know that she'd concur.

We've used this boarder for years. They are the absolute best and care for our dogs like their own. Reasonable prices too which is a plus.

Have been taking my pup here for the last 2 years. Used to be White House Kennel, but followed Amanda to Black Creek Boarding. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the only person I would ever trust with my dogs outside of family!!!! This woman and her family have a love for animals like nobody you'll ever meet. They will care for your furry family members like they are part of their own family!!!!!!!!!

Amanda and her team are amazing. My dog loves it here and it really shows what great care they give to the animals!!!

There is so much love shared at this place! Amanda & family do a great job of providing care for all the fur babies.

I take my two cats here and they seem to enjoy it. The are always terrified at first, but when I pick them up they come right up to Brenda and seem to really like her. They also enjoy the indoor/outdoor kennels. Prices are extremely fair, especially for how much space and attention the cats have while they stay here. Will continue to take my cats here, and would 100% recommend to any cat owner that doesn't want their cat to sit in a little 4x4 cell, for a ridiculous price, while they go on vacation.

Brenda is just incredible; So sweet to my dog, and treated him like her own. The facility is beautiful and clean. I am now a loyal customer!

If your looking for the greatest place on earth look no further. Service its outstanding, the play yard is amazing, and the kennels are heated and cooled. So if you hate your dogs go someplace else; however, if your fur baby needs a place and you want the to enjoy a place, see Brenda She'll make you feel at home.

LOVE DJ’s pet camp!!! Brenda is always very accommodating with our 4 dogs and takes extra good care of them. We have one pup who is crazy nervous and she’ll comfort her and her husband has even gone in to snuggle with her and make her feel safe. They truly love the animals in their care!

My dog gets excited when he smells the camp as we drive down the street. He pulls us in the door and goes all wild when he is taken back. He loves the socialization he gets there. When I go out of town, I don't worry about him. What I truly appreciate, are the security measures in place to prevent run-aways with the dogs. (once at different place, our dog gut out and was lost for a week until we found her). The animals are safe and cared for. Brenda and her worker are professional in every way.

I cannot believe how inexpensive this boarding facility is. I have taken my cats here the past two years. There is not upcharge for multiple day feeds or for medicine that needs to be given. Some boarding places charge just to give your pets attention, but not this place. My cats are given attention, and likely spoiled while I go on vacation. The indoor enclosures have three levels, and are quite spacious, especially for only one cat. The best part is most of the enclosures also have fully enclosed, private outdoor section as well. During the day, weather permitting, Brenda opens the little windows and the cats have their own little private sections to play outside. It is their own personal jungle gym, where they are 100% safe. I will always take my cats here.

DJ's is absolutely wonderful. I have taken my cat there for a very long time and she is always very well taken care of. She is given a lot of attention and they have a very nice enclosed outdoor play area for cats. This is a family owned business and everyone is so friendly. The prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about D J's Pet Camp. We have two little Yorkies who are older and a little high strung. Brenda is so good with them and they are always glad to go and in great shape when we pick them up. The price is half what other kennels in the area charge and the care is wonderful.

We love DJ's! We've been regulars at DJ's since moving to St. Louis in 2006 and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. They clearly love the pets they care for and Brenda is always so helpful and friendly. Although we hate leaving our Nash when we go away, we know he's having a great time and being loved at DJs!

My wife got there early to pick up our cat and attendant (or owner, I'm not sure) was so mean she made my wife cry. Final comment was "and you only sent 3 days worth of food so your cat didn't have anything to eat the last day he was here" Not really what we're looking for in a kennel to lovingly care for our precious family cat. I highly do not recommend.

Celsi is the BEST boarding host! She is absolutely caring about each and every one of the pets she watches and my dog loved her so much I wasn’t sure she’d want to come back home! Not only is Celsi an amazing host but the environment she provides for the dogs is such an essential primal canine experience because dogs are pack animals. I have not seen my dog thriving more than when she’s roaming as part of the pack! I highly recommend boarding at Celsi’s Dog Care. You can feel confident that your pet is getting the best attention and stimulating environment while you’re away.

I just had the best experience boarding my dog at Celsi’s! Celsi is super friendly and really cares about the animals. The facility is clean and spacious, with tons of space for exercise and play. I loved receiving daily updates and photos—they really put my mind at ease knowing my pup was having a great time. When I picked him up, he was so happy and clearly well taken care of. I can’t recommend Celsi’s enough for anyone looking for quality dog boarding. I’ll definitely be back!

Celsi is awesome! My family planned a road trip through St. Louis, and wanted to go up in the arch, but dogs aren’t allowed. I found Celsi through maps, and she was easy to get a hold of, and said that she could watch my Shepherd mix while my family went to the arch. I totally forgot to submit all of my paperwork and confirm my booking, but she made it work for me, even though it was my mistake. She was so accommodating, and took great care of my dog while I was gone. So glad I found her!

Celsi is the best! We’ve boarded twice with her. Our two pups get all the love and attention they need. They were spoiled and loved playing with the other dogs. Great socialization for your pups.

Celsi is amazing. Her love for the dogs is clear and I know our lil dog is in good hands when I drop her off for daycare. I love that they are active and get to play, but also have opportunities to snuggle up and relax. I also love that she takes pictures of the pups playing that I get to see while I’m away! We took a 10 day vacation this year and boarded with Celsi. We had no issues and Celsi makes the whole process easy. She was a happy loved dog when we brought her back home. I’m so grateful we found Celsi!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I just recently moved back into the area and I have an 8 month old puppy named Bear. I work full time and had in home care for him regularly up until a month ago. I wanted to find somewhere that was warm and welcoming but also safe for my dog. Celsi is all of those things and more! Bear has been going for almost three weeks and I have already begun to see positive behavior changes. He is so tired when he comes home in the best way possible and just relaxes. He now knows when we are going and happily jumps in my car to go. I take Bear 2-3 days a week and the prices are extremely reasonable for the care and level of love your animal is getting. Celsi is professional with her business and processes as well as considerate of people like me who are new to this process. Her daughter makes and sometimes sells home made treats which are nutritious and yummy. Celsi posts on Facebook which I love because I can see how Bear is doing when I am not with him. I cannot say enough positive things about this little gem of a business in Affton!! Look no further If you are looking for a place for your dog to be loved, mentally stimulated and safe. I am so grateful we have found her space and can’t wait to watch Bear make new friends and grow there.. :)

We are so lucky we found Celsi’s Dog Care a little over 2 years ago! We have such peace of mind when we leave our dog for vacations knowing that Celsi treats them like her own! She’s very accommodating, keeps you in the loop with pictures and videos, and my dog loves her! I can’t recommend her enough!!

I have used Celsi multiple time to watch my pup on long trips and have never felt better about the care of my pup! He gets so excited to see her so I know how well she treats him! I get pictures and videos and when I reach out to check on him she responds quickly. Celsi is great to work with, professional and organized. Finally, her prices are the best I have found, which is great because I feel I get the family touch for a price much lower than the big kennels! I highly recommend and will continue to work with her!

Celsi is amazing. I take my 4-month-old puppy once or twice a week and he has the best time ever he comes home. He's happy. It's an amazing place. They have little dogs. They have larger dogs but she does a great job with all of them. I recommend it highly

Celsi is AMAZING! We boarded our three pups for the first time and had some hesitancy about doing so because they’re our babies. But Celsi made sure to update us when we requested and she always posted pics and videos of them so that we could see how much fun they were having! She definitely gave us a sense of comfort and trust when it came to caring for our pups. We would definitely use Celsi’s services again and definitely recommend her go all the dog moms and dads out there!

Brian has been nothing but flexible and understanding while walking my dog Hooch. Hooch's temperament is a bit on the anxious side, and having Brian walk him has made a big improvement in how relaxed he is in the evening. Brian has also been very accommodating with shifting his walk schedule from time to time due to my work schedule. Great communication, and has always let me know how my dog was for the day if I ask.

Brian has been amazing! Brian has been walking my Chocolate lab since I was relocated to St. Louis in January. He is great at communicating how your pet is doing and any changes he notices. He has been super reliable and adaptable to my work schedule. I would recommend STL Happy Dogs to anyone looking for someone who cares about the care of their pet.

Brian really helped me out during my travels through St. Louis. I had tried several larger dog sitters and all were either booked, didn’t return my calls or required a meet and greet prior to my dog spending the day. Upon meeting Brian, he was immediately aware of my dog’s anxiety due to traveling. She willingly went with him which made me feel at ease about leaving her. I am so glad Brian was able to keep my dog as active as I was while we visited St. Louis. His prices are reasonable and his service was greatly appreciated.

I agree, Brian was a lifesaver! He was able to watch my dog Riley when I had some last-minute plans. We did a meet a greet and my dog loved him, she was immediately at ease! Brian was super easy-going and nice to work with. He even took care of Riley's upset stomach after getting into the trash (sorry!). I felt horrible that she got sick at his place, especially bc I was running late picking her up the next day! But he was so nice to take care of her and was not upset that I was late or at the fact she got sick at his place! He even said she was welcome back :)

Brian with STL Happy Dogs watched our 3 cats when we went on vacation recently. He was responsive and made sure they received lots of pets, food and a clean litter box. Our travel plans were disrupted and we had to stay an extra day and Brian made time to stop by and check in on the cats that extra day. It's clear he really cares about the pets he is caring for. Would highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Brian when I was a student and needed someone to care for my new cat over school breaks. He was very professional and accommodating to the specifics of what I needed, including playing with and spending time with my cat. He took great care of my neighbor's dog, too. Would highly recommend Brian/STL Happy Dogs for any dog AND/or cat care.

Brian was a miracle worker from day one. His response time was impeccable. We struggled with getting control of our rescue dog for nearly three years before we reached out to Brian & STL Happy Dogs. His presence was immediately helpful with finally integrating our dog into the household as a real family member. We have also used his boarding services when we travel and I wouldn't trust my dog more with anyone else.

Brian did a nice job taking care of my 2 kitties over a weekend. He was calm and quiet so they took to him instantly! He has reasonable prices, sent pics of my cats at his visits and he kept their food and litter bucket areas immaculately clean. I really appreciated that. I would use his services again .

Brian was very responsive when I contacted him on-line for pet sitting on short notice. He came right out to our house to meet the animals. While we were away he kept in communication with us about how it was going, especially with our dog who can sometimes be reluctant. It so happened that our neighborhood lost power due to a storm while we were away, and Brian let us know and was making sure it didn’t get too warm in the house for the animals. He visited several times a day, and was very flexible when we let him know we would be returning later than originally planned. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Brian and STL Happy Dogs, LLC again, and actually plan to in the very near future! Thank you Brian!

Brian watched our cat for two trips and we’ve been very happy with the service. He came by ahead of our first trip and learned our cat’s needs and routine. He sends text updates with a photo with each visit, which we appreciated and keeps everything tidy.

I have found our new kennel as well as groomer! Charlie and Murphy had so much fun and they even had their doppelgängers there the same time they were! Everyone was so friendly and communication was wonderful! I received multiple videos and photos of my babies while we were gone and could not appreciate that more! Allie did an amazing job grooming them as well. We will definitely be back! Thank you White House Kennel!

We and (our boys) love White House Kennels Boarding and Grooming. We had an emergency come up this past week and called ahead and Krista slid our boys (Mozzie & Max) in for a few days til everything was resolved. It was so greatly appreciated and as always the boys had a great time! We also look forward every year at The holiday season spending some time there. 5 stars for the love and care given to our boys and us!

The kennel we used to use closed so we needed to find a new one AND WE LOVED WHITE HOUSE! They were so nice, sent me pictures and video updates of our dog while he was there, and came home so tired. I know he had the best time and was well taken care of. We will definitely be back.

Krista is great! She grooms my Great Pyrenees mix and does a great job. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a groomer. White House is very affordable compared to other groomers I have used.

They do such a great job caring for my 2 big dogs! They provide love and care to them and they keep me up to date on everything when I am out of town. They also provide photos and make sure they stay healthy while we are gone. I highly recommend this place for your pets!!

Took both of my doodle mixes to see the groomer here. Both great experiences. Cleaned my doodles right up. My favorite part is that there is a family friendly vibe. Also - the prices are much more reasonable than other places in the area. Thank you so much !! We will be back soon ! :D

They take such great care of our dogs. We brought our 16-year-old German shorthair pointer and he was well taken care of.

Clover was definitely not the easiest dog, but White House Kennel was very patient and attentive, given the circumstances. I was updated daily and they made me feel like she was cared for, carefully. Thank you guys for taking care of my baby while we were gone. We had a wonderful experience!

Thank you for great grooming experience with our dog Penny. Our doodle looks great!! We will be returning.

I was so happy I found this place! Not all dogs are able to do the "cage free" Kennels. Ours especially..lol! They are Indoor/Outdoor kennels with Heat and A.C. Plus there is a big yard for them to roam with other dogs or some alone time if that's what you need. Amanda was the nicest person and wasn't at all bothered to let us know how she was doing when I called to check on her since I was worried about boarding her. I would recommend this place to everyone and we will be back as well.

I have one happy dog after spending 5 nights here. I can’t thank Playful Paws enough for taking such great care of our Baby and on very short notice! It was our first time and will definitely not be the last. This place is different than most, you walk in and see everything. No closed doors. They’re not hiding your dogs. Outside play area is adorable and you can peek in to see. Again, no hiding.

Walked in the door to inquire about boarding, there was dog hair all over the entry rug and a foul smell, then walked thru the next door into the facility, the STRONG smell of urine and dirty dog took my breath away, awful!! I turned around and walked right back out the door. I would never leave my dog there! I don’t see how employees & the pets aren’t having major respiratory issues.

We boarded three dogs here for seven nights and it is a great place with awesome pricing! Love that they include daycare with the boarding price and let you pick if you want your dog in it. The staff is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and super patient with dogs that are timid. My italian greyhound was snippy and territorial, so they took the time to sit with her and get to know her. They also made sure my shepherd received extra attention since he is not very dog friendly. They even sent a text to update me about the dogs. They accept intact dogs which is a plus. I would 1000% recommend this place.

I was so sad to leave my dog somewhere while I went on vacation but Playful Paws made me feel at ease. They assured me everything would be fine and gave me the run down of how they operate. They gave me updates almost every day and were so kind. I was able to actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my dog the entire time. We will definitely be coming back 🐶

This is by far the BEST place around for boarding and daycare. The owner is fantastic and really pushes to provide the best care and facility for all the dogs. I have never had to worry about my boy while he is in their care. They have huge rooms for the dogs…it has to be at least 6’x8’ that my husky stays in! And the prices are reasonable, if anything they are cheaper than the competitors because of all they have and do for the dogs there. It is outstanding how much time these dogs have to play and run and get attention ….most places do not come close to the amount of time each dog gets to be out of their rooms. My boy isn’t the easiest or too friendly with other dogs but they never tell me they have any problems with him. And rarely do they even need to give him his anxiety meds because they make it so comfortable for him to stay. They know how to care for individual needs of each pet and that is very important to most owners. I cannot thank them enough for providing a peace of mind while I travel for work and leave my fur baby with them. I just picked my boy up from a 5 night stay and he was in a great mood, very happy pup! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

This place isn't just a business it is my bloodhounds second home. To see how excited and happy my dog is when we drop him off for boarding puts my mind at ease. The owner Melanie is hands down one of the best! Her love for the animals she takes on everyday really shows. My dog is always excited to see her and her staff. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else.

My dog boards here and honestly I’m so grateful that this place exists. The owner is very kind and passionate about her job. I wanted to make sure my dog was going to a place where he would receive a lot of care and attention. Hearing Melanie talk about her love for dogs reassured me. I can tell my dog really loves coming here! He only goes a few times a week but he gets super excited every time he comes here. We were nervous about him being around other dogs, but she was able to slowly introduce him to a few other pups with no issues. He finally has friends!! I highly recommend this place!

We recently boarded our 11 month old boxer here for 7 days while we we're on vacation. We feel like she was taking care of during her stay. I know no one is to blame but when we picked her up you could tell she was sick. Her eye's where crusted with discharge, kept coughing, and nose was super snotty. Once we were able to get her into the vet 2 days later she was diagnosed with kennel cough. Which really sucks because now our Chihuahua has come down with it too! I'm tried making Facebook messaging them to let them know because it is highly contagious. Message was never check I even called the owner Melanie on her personal cell and left a message. I just feel upset that she couldn't even call back and show some kind of acknowledgement that she got my message and is taking care of the problem and or notifying other owners that have stayed there .

Melody the owner is a very nice person and a very trustworthy person she really cares about the animals that come into her business.

Playful paws is a wonderful place for dogs. My little dog goes there regularly due to separation anxiety and he is so happy there. Melanie and her staff understand dogs and have created a safe, fun environment for them.

My Goldens LOVE NCK! They are so excited to get there. I’ve had pictures and videos sent to me of their vacation, running in the spacious yards. Our rescue beagle is taken care of gently and in a run away from larger barking dogs and doesn’t have problems. The grooming is superb. Truly a caring facility!

We just picked our puppy up after 4 days at Nancy Crane and it was incredibly obvious that they took great care of her. She loved on the staff so much before we left. That spoke volumes!! We chose Nancy Crane because of the large kennels they are kept in and the fact that they have their own little doggy door to go in and out on their own. We also needed a place that would take care of her special needs because she had just been spayed a few days prior (this was not a planned trip). Two other things that were icing on the cake 1. It’s winter in St. Louis and I was sooooo pleased to hear that they had heated concrete floors in the kennel. 2. We’ve used them before and they upgraded their software, making creating an account and scheduling so easy!

Nancy's is great. They love our Greyhound and are always excited to see him come in. The boarding and grooming services are awesome and the staff is very accomodating for a greyhound (who has delicate skin & needs some extra padding in the kennel). We definitely recommend Nancy's!!

Great place! Reasonably priced, friendly staff, very organized and beautiful property for your pets. My dog wasn't as nervous as he usually is when we first arrive to be groomed. From now on, this is where we will go to have my pet groomed!

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Reasonably priced services with great doggy stylists. I'll be back for sure. Thanks!

I’ve been taking my little dog there for a few years now. They take awesome notes every time we are there. I know he’s in good hands when he’s there.

Our new family puppy, Usa, was groomed, nails done, and left happy. We will go back.

Our Shelties, Bo and Benelli are groomed and boarded at Nancy Cranes. We never worry about them as the staff cares about all of the pets they watch. The pens are clean and doesn't even smell like a kennel. Grooming is great too! Our new Papillon joined our family and is already a handsomely, groomed little guy. Highly recommended.

We recently needed to quickly board our german shepherd for a 20-day stay and were delighted with the care we received at Nancy Cranes. Owner Stephen accommodated our every need within an hour and our boy, Bruno, was happy & very-well groomed when we picked him up. Terrific value and exceptionally professional service from every caregiver. Thank You!!

We have been so happy to have Nancy Crane for our Great Pyrenees! He doesn't do great with "just anyone", and since he's so big we need to be careful. Nancy Crane (and Troy, especially) has been perfect! They have worked with us to make our big boy feel comfortable there. When I picked him up today, Troy said he did well with all of the staff this time. Yay! It really has been the right fit for us and made it so much easier for us to get away!
