Dog Sitters in Dodds

Our dog has done daycare, overnight stays, and a week long boarding. We have always had a great experience with Arlissa and Dayton Pet Care. They are very quick to respond, send daily updates, and take the best pictures. Luke always comes home tired and happy from all of the fun activities they do with him there!

Trusting Arlissa and Dayton Pet Care has been an incredible experience. Arlissa has cared for our dog, Archer, in both a daycare and boarded setting where she was professional and timely. We appreciate the ways she’s supported our family and the fantastic photos she’s taken along the way! We continue to use her services and she now watches our puppy, Honey!

I highly recommend Dayton Pet Care! They are flexible and easy to communicate/work with. Our puppy, Gia, is always excited upon arrival and exhausted from playing when we pick her up. It’s clear they are passionate about caring for animals, and they always provide us with plenty of photos to update us.

My husband and I had a wedding to attend in Dayton. Being from out of town I did some extensive research on the best place to leave our dog, Molly. Dayton Pet Care had great reviews so that is where we had Molly do an overnight stay. I was not disappointed at all! All through the night I received wonderful texts, and some of the best pictures that I’ve ever seen of our sweet girl. I felt very secure in the knowledge that Molly was being very well taken care of! I would absolutely have no problem highly recommending their service!

My bulldog boys love Dayton Petcare! The team keeps me updated on their activities with pictures and videos. I can see the joy in their faces. I’m very comfortable leaving them when I have to travel. Feels like you’re leaving you’re pet kiddos with family. I would recommend them over any chain establishment. It’s like you’re leaving your pet kiddos with family. ❤️Only problem I have is their exhausted when I pick them up 🤣🤣.

I highly recommend Dayton Pet Care for boarding your cat or dog. They are a 24 hour service, (a rarity) and we were able to drop off our doggo at our convenience. Arlissa was quick to respond after I booked, asked all the right questions and made our dog, Sidney feel at home and loved. She sent updates and awesome photos of Sid during her entire stay. She was properly cared for and exercised and had one on one playtime. Please check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

I highly recommend Dayton Pet Care! From the moment I dropped off my dog Charlotte, I knew that she was in good hands. Arlissa sent regular updates and photos which was greatly appreciated as someone who typically avoids boarding my dog whenever possible. It’s obvious she cares about the animals placed in her care! Easy booking process, great communication, fair pricing. Excellent experience all the way around. Thanks Arlissa!

We had a wonderful experience with Dayton Pet Care! The staff were kind and caring and we were given lots of updates about our furbaby! And our cat got a whole room to himself! If we need more pet boarding we'll definitely go with these guys again!

Dayton Pet Care provides quality care for my dog. He loves going to daycare and playing with all of his friends. They care for the animals as if they were their very own. And they take amazing photos! I am truly grateful for their services.

I simply can not say enough good things about this place! I just left my fur baby there for a week and I got daily updates and pictures letting me know he was doing good while he was there. The owner is very prompt to respond to any questions. And this place has a full on puppy carnival on site! I’m talking playground equipment and a little coaster. 10 out of 10. This will be the FIRST place I call from now on.

Fantastic staff that seem to genuinely love pets and love their jobs. Our two sausages love visiting their canine and human friends at PetSuites Sharonville for training, photo and event days, and pampered boarding and grooming. We love this place!

Sadie LOVES ❤️ going to Sharonville Pet Suites!!!! She plays and plays and plays until she comes home exhausted. For an apartment renter like me, it is worth every penny...

Hanna says, “Pick me, pick me”! Mom and Dad are fine, but represented by the second picture, they can be a little boring. I love going to PetSuites. I know we are close when we get to Reading and Hauk Rds. I get some one-on-one play time with the staff. They are my jam!! Sometimes I spend the night and sometimes I’m there just during the day, but either way I have my best time. I always go home totally exhausted!!💤🐶

I’ve taken my dog here twice and he is always so excited. This last boarding visit I decided to get him groomed upon leaving and it was the best decision. The groom was attentive an cut him exactly like the photo I gave her.

We have used PetSuites Sharonville specifically for many years because of the confidence we have in their staff to provide loving, patient care to our pets. The staff and offered services are amazing!! Our dogs are greeted by name and always welcomed warmly. They provide on-site training to reinforce what we do at home, which helps all of us! We get feedback about how our dogs do in playgroup and suggestions for making any stays easier for the dogs. When our boarding senior dog became ill (due to his genetic condition) they worked closely with us and our veterinarian to ensure our dog’s safe transport to the clinic and treatment. We HIGHLY recommend this site and LOVE the staff.

They BUTCHERED my dog. He literally winces when I’m touching him right now because the RAZOR burn on my DOUBLE COATED Aussie hurts so bad. If you look at the pictures, I only show one side of his head, behind his ear where they shaved him with clippers. That is because he is only shaved on one side. Do you go to a hair salon and only cut one side of your hair and leave it at two levels? NO. His stomach has a hole in it from where I assume the blade they were using was too short and left red patches on him. I don’t care if you’re a new groomer or have 30 years experience, EVERYONE knows not to shave an Aussie. I am now having anxiety that my poor 2 year old aussie will never get his soft baby hairs back. You can’t tell me you thought this was okay enough to send home. Shame on you.

I was nervous about leaving our anxious dog while we were on vacation for a week, but the staff at PetSuites were great. They answered my questions via text, and I was able to check in on Alani on the cameras when she was in group playtime. They even sent me a couple pictures so I could see that she was doing well. She came home happy and tired. She will definitely stay there for our next vacation or if we ever need doggy daycare. Thanks, PetSuites!

Sharonville Pet Suites is fantastic! My dog Lucky highly recommends this place. Lucky has liver cancer and the staff their gave him the extra care that he required. What a class A operation. I would give them ten stars if I could.

First grooming visit and very impressed with the facility but even more with the staff! outstanding and friendly service and demonstrated excellent care and concern for our elderly little Shi-Tzu. Thank you, we will be back.

This was the first time I have ever had to take my pup to daycare. They are amazing at PetSuites if I lived closer this would be where I would take him always. The staff is amazing here and very friendly. They treated my dog like he was thier own and loved on him just like I would. Thank you so much for taking great care of him!

UPDATE: All you have to do is read the owner’s responses to any negative reviews to see the level of “professionalism” and lack of accountability that you will be dealing with if you make the mistake of bringing your animals here. Do you really think it’s my idea of a good time to go on vacation, pick my dog up from Denise’s Animal House, and then have to immediately bathe my dog while she's crying out in pain because her neck is eaten completely raw by fleas?? And then have to spend even MORE money on flea treatment?? Yeah, no. And I don’t imagine it’s anybody else’s idea of a good time either. Just because you don’t WANT to be responsible for something, doesn’t make it so. Why would bites be so raw and red, as the picture shows, if these weren’t NEW bites that she got during her 5-night stay? Denise and I do not have the same definitions of bullying or respect; you certainly didn’t respect this client or animal by allowing her to be eaten alive by FLEAS and then denying any responsibility. And to think that I actually added a TIP - that they not so subtly ask you for at checkout - to have to deal with this FLEA nightmare and clearly delusional owner. As Denise herself admitted, they don’t require clients to treat their dogs for fleas, though I DO and this is why my 6-yr-old dog has never had fleas before in her life. But because I have owned enough dogs in my lifetime, I was able to see that she had gotten FLEAS from Denise’s Animal House immediately. You get what you pay for, folks. When it’s cheaper than everyone else, there’s a reason. And in Denise’s Animal House’s case, the reasons are many. Just walk into the reception area and you will be greeted by their idea of cleanliness. At least this happened to us now so I know to NEVER trust Denise’s Animal House with my dog ever again. And Denise, the pleasure was not mine in any interaction with you. It’s obvious that you have no business being trusted with family pets. The truth always comes out eventually… When this continues to happen to other pets, you’re going to be held responsible more and more often. So you better start studying up on what accountability and honesty are, because you don’t seem to understand what that is now. $8 for Capstar? Lady, there’s this thing called Google that will show you very quickly that $8 is NOT the cost for that flea treatment. ORIGINAL, HONEST REVIEW: Don’t bring your pet here unless you want them to come home with FLEAS. Owner said my “assumptions are derogatory” because I said my dog clearly got the fleas either from the kennel where she slept or another dog during her 5-night stay there. My dog didn’t have fleas when I brought her, but when I picked her up from Denise’s Animal House, her neck was completely eaten up around her collar, red and raw. And she’s a short-haired Weimaraner so it was easy to see. She was itching and crying anytime we touched her neck. Denise says they don’t require clients to treat their dogs for fleas but if they see it, they treat it immediately. Yet my poor girl’s neck went unnoticed? I asked for a partial refund to cover the expensive Capstar treatment I had to purchase for my dog and long-haired cat to get rid of the fleas that my dog got from Denise’s Animal House. Even though she admitted my dog could have gotten the fleas there, she refused. And when I pressed on about how wrong that is to do to a person and the animal, she hung up on me. While I do think Denise’s Animal House has SOME workers there who clearly care about the animals, there’s apparently no accountability for what happens to your pet while there. I would definitely NOT recommend bringing your animals to Denise’s Animal House, as there’s no guarantee your dog won’t be exposed to fleas (or worse; I wish I had read the reviews before ever coming here!) and the whole ordeal will cost you a lot more than what you bargained for. And for the record, my dog has been to many different boarders and never once come home with fleas before. Only place she’s ever gotten fleas from is Denise’s Animal House.

Although I was able to get an appointment I was very disappointed. Receptionist was very friendly and makes notes of what you want be very very specific. The groomer was not there yet so I talked with the receptionist I said I needed the works. And because I didn't explain every little detail They didn't even cut their hair they didn't do a hygiene clean. Every other dog groom I've been to. When I said I need the works. They do their nails, they do the haircuts. They do the hygienic clean for their Perry areas. Cost a $120 to basically get them bathed, very upset and disappointed. So I do want to add an update on here. I was contacted by the owner who wanted to make it right. She Ask if I wanted to come back in so she can give the haircuts. I explained to her that I had already got their haircuts that day that she called me. And that I didn't know how long we would still be here. Because my husband is a traveling nurse. She said that she could do the haircuts before we leave town or just do a clean up.

1st time there and the groomer was fabulous with my Persian. She knew when my cat wasn't in the mood for a bath, and I really appreciated that. She gave her a nice cut when other groomers only wanted to give her drugs to knock her out. Will definitely go back. So happy to have found someone so excellent with a persnickety Persian!

This place is great! I highly recommend them for all your grooming and boarding needs! The staff are all super friendly and great at what they do! Prices are also great, so you can't go wrong here!!

My husband and I went on a weeks long getaway and had to board our 15 month old Shar Pei/Black Lab mix, Nova. We adopted her about 4 months ago and like new parents, were reluctant to leave her. As soon as we arrived at Denise's, I felt at ease with our decision. The property was very well kept, the office smelled nice, surprisingly quiet and the staff were so pleasant and treated Nova just like their own. Her new human friends even posted pictures of her on their social media account so we could peak in at her activities while we were away. When we came back to get her, she was happy, healthy and clean! (They gave her a bath before we picked her up!) Nova is adjusting to her new life at our home well but she still has a lot of anxiety from time to time with strangers and some other canine friends. They were truly wonderful with her and took things at her pace. We will absolutely be back! Thanks for loving our girl while we were away!

My husband and I boarded our dog here while we were gone for a week long trip. We were very nervous since we have never boarded him and he has separation anxiety. Denise's Animal House did a great job of taking care of him and I felt at ease from the moment I walked in! The lady working the front desk really helped to reassure me and I knew he would be well taken care of. Very happy with my experience!

An excellent place with a very friendly and great staff! Prices are also very good. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs grooming or boarding for their pets!!!

We boarded our dogs here, and they seemed to really love it! They got more exercise here than they do at home. It's such a nice facility. Everything was really easy, especially for it being our first time ever kenneling. Any staff we talked to were really nice and knowledgeable. Overall great experience.

They do a great job with boarding. Whole staff of animal lovers, pets always come back safe, clean and excited!

I heard of this place through dog park friends. The reviews and recommendations were always very positive and me and my wife wanted to give it a try. We couldn't be any more content and pleased with their services. Out puppy loves being there! The staff are extremely professional and careful of out loved furry friends. I love taking my pup there, highly recommend 5 stars 10/10

PetSmart West Chester took up to 4 hours to groom Raven and alleged every time they couldn’t finish and blamed her age, I think they just want to get pets in and out and didn’t have the expertise. Thankfully we took our business here, because Niles finished her groom in 2 hours and did well with my senior dog. Pet Palace had patience and doesn’t give up on seniors.

First time ever boarding my pets and the staff here really helped me feel at ease. Did a couple check ups and they were very accommodating. There was a list from the individual one on ones with notes about their time with my pets as well. Also the person who checked us out clearly knew our pets and their personalities when describing the time with each of them. As a loving pet owner Pet Palace really made me feel better about the situation and this was a very positive experience.

Our 14yo Morkie has stayed at Pet Palace multiple times. We usually get the web suite because we like seeing that she is okay. They never seem to mind when I call and her suite is clean at all times. The added piece of mind is well worth the cost.

We have been using Pet Palace for several years now and absolutely love them. They are so good to my boy Kylo and I swear, every time I drop him off, they always know who he is before I even say anything (and they have a lot of staff and dogs). I always know my baby is in good hands when he is there! Also, on Valentine's Day they took the most adorable pictures of him without me even asking, or paying. It made my day.

I took my cat for emergency bath today. The staff was very friendly, and accommodating!! They took great care of Luna girl! She was all clean and happy when she came home!!! Thank you, Pet Palace for taking good care of Luna🐈‍⬛😻 …

My wife and I LOVE this place. It’s new so it’s really nice and clean. We’ve only used PP for grooming and couldn’t be happier. Charlie is always happy to go here too. He looks and smells GREAT when we pick him up. Staff is friendly and welcoming. They were flexible when we weren’t able to get to our appointment on time.

I have been bringing Mr. Oscar here for day care and for boarding almost as long as they have been open, and the experience has always been fantastic. He pulls me to the door, excited to show up for fun with his pals, and he always hesitates to leave, which tells me he is a happy camper! Everyone knows him on sight and gives him a big greeting when he walks through the door--a bonus that makes it clear that the staff love to see him as much as he enjoys seeing them. And when things don't always go as planned (because dogs sometimes can do strange/unpredictable/goofy things) the staff--especially Taylin--always respond quickly and professionally to my concerns. This is why I keep bringing Mr. Oscar back, as I have full confidence that he is receiving topnotch care and attention.

We cannot say enough about this place and the humans that work here. They have fun events for the animals, like the Puppy Bowl! My pup ruined his toys on the way one morning and I didn’t have any to leave for him. They found him a toy for the day because they didn’t want him to be without. My pup looks forward to his drop offs when it’s that day of the week. I really can’t say enough good stuff about Pet Palace - we’re lifelong clients! Take your animal here, you definitely won’t regret it and you won’t feel guilty about leaving them either.

Such a great place ! They continue to out do themselves . If you need daycare or boarding this is the place to go . Their customer service is awesome .

We love pet palace West Chester! They take such good care of our girl Jenna. She is always exhausted when she comes home after a weekend. We keep bringing her back!

We tried Ivanhoe kennels. The female owner was nice to work with however the male owner was extremely rude and abrasive. Vaccine records were not required. We would not recommend this kennel for these reasons. We moved to Travellers stay and play which is much better in pet care, facility options, and customer service. Update: We were not offended regarding vaccine records, in fact we appreciate that the kennel we are with now did require them. We also do not have a problem paying the going rate which we consistently do.

Our dog loves Ivanhoe, and we board him there with confidence! The group play-dates during his stay are great; pool time is so fun; and Ivanhoe helps us by allowing our dog to have potty breaks on grass where he is most comfortable. This is not true at all kennels we have tried. Thank you for providing such a clean, well equipped & well staffed kennel!

Zoey our Blue Heeler just loves her time at Ivanhoe. We have boarded her and left her for daily social visits with other dogs and she always looks forward to her time there. One of her favorites is the pool and being able to play with other highly active dogs. I would recommend Ivanhoe to anyone looking for a great place for their dog.

Been a customer for over 20+years. Our dogs receive great care, attention to needs and lots of love while we are out of town. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our dogs are always happy and excited at drop off! Highly recommend!

I have been using Ivanhoe for a few years now when I need to travel for work. My dog, Oliver, loves going! He enjoys the people the socialization with the other dogs and both always treat him very well! I won't use anyone else at this point,. They have won my business and will be Oliver's doggie spa for life.

We have been using the Ivanhoe kennel for several years. We love the daycare & also overnight stays. The staff knows & loves our dog as if he was their own. He loves the pool & the freedom to play with other dogs his size. For worry free visits I highly recommend using Ivanhoe Kennel.

I’ve been working at Ivanhoe for two years and have been bringing my dogs for 10. I see what goes on behind the scenes and I still recommend the place. The owner is knowledgeable, the staff is friendly, and the facility is clean. Attached is a picture of my dog at Ivanhoe (the yellow lab)

We brought our three dogs here while we went to Hawaii for a week to get married. We were very nervous about boarding our dogs for a long period of time. There were other customers in there that reassured us that they loved this kennel and that comforted us a lot. We checked on them a couple times while we were on vacation and the employees said they were doing well and even sent us pictures that we requested and the dogs looked very happy. Once we got home to pick them up is when our concerns raised. The dogs were acting very off, which we attributed to them being off put being in a new place. After being around our dogs we noticed they all looked like they lost weight, their faces looked very stressed, one of our dogs has a huge raw mark on the side of his face that was bleeding, and another one of our dogs eyes were so red and swollen, and they smelt like urine. When we brought them home they slept for 20 hours straight like they were so stressed the entire week they did not get much sleep. It made us feel so awful that we were on vacation having a good time and they were so scared and stressed. Besides my concerns about our dogs, I called the facility the day before dropping off the dogs and asked how much I owed after my deposit and the lady told me $720, when I picked the dogs up they charged me $870. I did not want to argue with the employee about the cost because he was just a kid and I was too worried about my dogs. All in all, I dont know if the issue was my dogs being homebody’s or if they were not getting properly cared for.

Ivanhoe is a wonderful facility that our dog Kosmo loves to go to. We use doggy day care and have boarded him there as well. The outdoor spaces and inground pool are awesome and he loves it there. The staff really care and are great with him. It's reassuring that he can go somewhere where we know that he'll be taken care, watched over and have total piece of mind when he is there! This is our forever place- we wont even consider anywhere else. We highly recommend

My dog has been staying with Ivanhoe Country Kennels when we are away for more than an decade. She is always well taken care of, happy, and healthy when she comes home. We have moved around quite a bit and I have had to board her other places. I am ALWAYS happy when I can return her to her “home-away-from-home” at Ivanhoe Country Kennels; and so is she.

I can’t think of a better place for my little doggo to be and I’m so grateful to have found Dee. She took such good care of my pup and my pup had withdrawal because she had so much fun! Like summer camp for dogs!

Dee is the most loving dog sitter I've met.

Excellent care and great experience!

I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate everyone at LaBark for take exceptional care of Maggie while I’m at work. She knows when we leave the house with her bag she’s going to daycare by the time we pull up to the building she’s so excited. If your looking for a place to bring your pet for daycare or overnight stay I highly recommend LaBark Place

After hearing about LaBark from a neighbor we decided to try it out. We have been taking our girl there for a few months now and have been very impressed. She is always excited to go, enjoys the employees and loves playing with the other dogs. They post pictures on Facebook, which are fun to look through, and they always have cute themes around holidays. We couldn't be happier.

I LOVE LaBark! My corgi Aurowyn can not contain his wiggle when we pull in. Renee and her crew are phenomenal!!!! I never worry he isn't being taken care of. He has made so many friends. Shout out to Otis and Claudine!! Would advise everyone to use LaBark services :)

I would like to tell everyone how much Maggie loves going to LaBark daycare. We start our mornings off by putting on her special collar and she already knows what day it is. I’ve learned I can’t put it on until we’re walking out the door now; because she wait by the front door and whines. This just shows me that she’s being well taken care of and enjoys going which in return gives me peace of mind when I’m at work knowing she’s at her happy place. I highly recommend LaBark Place for daycare or overnight stays Your pups will love you for it 🐾

Rene and her staff consistently do an amazing job caring for our very high energy dog whether he is at daycare or boarding. We have zero worries leaving our dog in their care. They communicate immediately if there is a concern, change in behavior or just simply if our dog is having a great day! We highly recommend LaBark Place! ❤️

From a human point of view, I have nothing but great things to say about the staff and how they treat the dogs like they are family. But when it comes to dog daycare, it's the dog's point of view that truly matters. We have been taking our Boston Terrier, Gallitzin, here for almost 2 years now. All I can say is, when we pull into the lot and she recognizes where she is, she becomes VERY excited. And as soon as we exit the car to head in, she more or less pulls me in by the leash. She absolutely loves playing with her friends at LaBark, and she always has a big smile on her face when I come to pick her back up. A well-earned 5-stars for this wonderful place.

Our Great Pyrenees loves going to LaBark! Sallie goes for play days, during the week and always boards there! We have confidence that all the dogs are well loved and cared for while the owners are away. We have used other Daycare & Boarding (even worked for one) and LaBark is far superior! The staff is amazing!

My mini dachshund, Woody, has been going to LaBark since he was just a little guy. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Renee and all of the employees there. Everyone is so nice and you can tell they truly LOVE all the puppers that go there. I fully trust that Woody will not only have so much fun while he is there, but I also know he will always be safe and looked after. He starts wiggling like a maniac before we even get out of the car when he knows we are there because he loves it so much 🩷 Photo attached of Woody and his besties at LaBark ☺️

I love dropping Bella off for day care! Every time she is greeted by name and excitedly goes with the staff. The whole team are true dog people and i feel safe to leave my dog with them. I love their hours and they take the best photos too! Their work below.

Our 10-month-old sister labs stayed overnight and after their initial hesitation well one was hesitant and the other one was excited. They received great care and were very comfortable. We especially like the check-in process. It was worth every minute and expense. I will definitely use this doggie daycare again.

I totally recommend Fur Season. Amanda is great. We left our dogs for the first time and she sent pics of them making me feel good about leaving my dogs. We will continue to use her. She's amazing!!

Our Tess absolutely loves staying with Amanda and her family at the Fur Seasons. She is treated with love and personal attention and gets to have fun with the other fur kids staying there. She always comes home without any kennel “trauma”. Just happy and relaxed, just like when she arrived for her stay away from home.

We absolutely love using The Fur Seasons when we need a dog sitter! Amanda treats your dog as her own. Our dog Simba always comes home in great spirits. We highly recommend her!

Amanda is amazing as a cat sitter! It’s so reassuring knowing she’s checking on our cats daily and taking care of them when we’re away. She also sends pictures of them which very much helps me know they’re in good hands. Cannot recommend enough!

We highly recommend The Fur Seasons! Amanda gives our Tess a lot of attention and really treats her as a member of her fur kids family. Plenty of outside time, attention to detail on feeding and treats-our pup came home happy and pleasantly tired. Thanks Amanda!

I highly recommend!! Your fur babies are/will always be in GREAT hands! Amanda is so amazing with animals 🐶 From my personal experience, she treats her/other dogs as if they are her own human babies. Book with Amanda today ! You won’t regret it , I promise 😊

This sitter is great! My dog is a corgi-dachshund and is old. He has separation and crate anxiety with a lot of issues around being alone. They worked with him to help make his stay comfortable and his anxiety is lessening with each stay he has with them. We are so grateful to finally be able to have someone trustworthy in our area to look after the old man.

Highly recommend!

Thank you :)
