Dog Sitters in Shandon, OH

We love Dogtown and so does my pup Violet! It’s a relief knowing that my dog is being cared for by awesome staff while we’re away at work. Violet has made so many friends and enjoys her time there. I cannot say enough positive things about Dogtown and the people that work there, I feel so fortunate to have found them.

We found Dogtown West after our first doggy daycare closed and we weren't sure at first, but our little Leo loves it there now. Now that everyone knows him, he loves going there and doesn't want to leave at night. They are all so great with the dogs. So glad we have this close by and that they love our doggies like we do.

My dog loves Dogtown, and so do I!!! He is there 3 days a week and he drags me through the doors every single time! Having a place for him to get energy out and socialize is amazing. Plus knowing he is safe and well taken care of really eases your mind when you’re not with your pup!!!

My dog, Ziggy, loves going and playing with his friends. He is always greeted by the staff by them telling us how much they love him and Everytime we pick him up or call, they recognize him or say how much they love him. We have boarded there and done daycare. Nothing but great experiences. Highly recommend.

I love Dogtown, and so does my dog Rosie! Rosie has a membership, and goes to daycare at least twice weekly, sometimes more. Every time I drop her off at daycare, she bolts through the door. My dog is very social, and Rosie loves to be around all the dogs and employees at Dogtown. I also exclusively board and groom Rosie at Dogtown. As long as I live in Cincinnati, Rosie will be a member at Dogtown West. I cannot recommend it enough!

Our pups love going to dog town. They get lots of attention and have so much fun when there. They are worn out from continuous playing. The friendly staff loves the pups like their own.

The most horrible experiences I ever had. We tried to give them chances so many times, but all they did just made us disappointed and upset. First time, One night my husband picked up our dog, any of employees there didn’t tell him my dog got a cut on her face. Until I got home, I figured out that. My husband called them next day, what the manager’s answer was “they forgot to tell us that night, but they actually wrote it down in the journal. This won’t happen again.” Ok, that’s fine. We tried to understand. But honestly, that’s their everyday work, how come they can forget? Not even professional about their service. Second time, we checked on the camera. Quite while I couldn’t see my dog. So we called. They said my dog was at the hallway, she didn’t want to go into the room and play with dogs. Actually it’s kinda scary if you can’t see your baby for some time. The last time, which totally ruined our trust to this team. From the camera, we saw our dog was put into a smaller cage compared to other bigger ones. She is a German shepherd, a big dog, when she was in the cage, she couldn’t even straight her back and stand up and barely turn her body around. We kept checking on her about an hour, finally we called. The manager said “from our angle maybe looks smaller, but actually it’s not.” When my husband asked the reason why they put her into the cage for so long, they said ”just give her space for nap, we only let her in like 15 mins, every dog have their turn.” You can see the pictures, the dog at the corner is my dog. Look how uncomfortable she was. And the pictures with their cages, smaller ones are on the chair, bigger ones close to the window. The sizes you can count by the floor tiles/squares. I think maybe they think I am blind or a fool, so they tried to convince me I was wrong. Well, anyway, maybe because the price is cheap, we only deserve this service quality. If you have no choice to accept this team for your daycare, don’t forget to check on camera as much as you can. My advice.

My dog peaches loves dogtown. She is always super sleepy when she comes home. The dog groomer Skylar is very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend bringing your dog here for daycare, boarding, and grooming.

Our family loves dog town and our sweet husky gets so excited when he knows we are heading there! The socializing he gets with other dogs has really helped him have the best SOCIAL SKILLS! Super important with big dogs. I love that we can check in on him throughout the day on live webcams too! He went today and is so tuckered out! Helps with his behavior at home too! I'm glad we found this place and HIGHLY recommend it!

Thank you DogTown for taking care of my fur babies 😊 I am recommending this place to my friends. I was totally comfortable leaving my little dogs for 5 days. The employees I had contact with are very kind individuals…loving all dogs! One of my dogs needed medication twice a day and they were more than willing to handle this. However, my chihuahua wouldn’t take her pill (in a pill pocket) from anyone other than me! I did get a phone call concerning this issue. They did manage to get her to take the pill one time! I was fine going to the facility in the AM and PM to give her the pill. They followed my feeding instructions perfectly. When I decide to go on a trip, I will definitely bring my fur babies to DogTown West!!!

Our 2 dogs stayed here for a week. We have never left them before. They were happy and we could tell they were taken care of. I texted several times to check on them & were told they were doing great! Thank you all for taking such good care of our fur babies. ❤️

Very friendly really seemed to care about the pets who were staying there. We emailed twice to check on our baby since it was his first time boarded. They promptly responded even with pictures of our dog.

We have used doggie motel 3 or 4 years in a row and they have always taken good care of Lilly.

Amazing people. They took very good care of Ladybird and she seemed to have a great time.

I have kenneled dogs here for several years. They were treated well; everything was clean. The family who owns and runs the kennel are kind, honest, and decent individuals.

Queenie loves this place and so do we! They take great care of her & she doesn’t come home all stressed! Rachael and the staff are wonderful!!

Rachel takes amazing care of both my dogs, I've boarded them here many times since moving to the area. Cannot recommend highly enough! 5++++ starrs!

Rachel is amazing with our girl Piper. We have taken our pets here since they opened. Very clean and safe.

Kari is the greatest very gentle with my pepperjack and we both Love her very much.

I boarded my three year old Beagle at The Doggy Motel for nine days. My dog is very sweet and good natured. When I picked up my dog from the Doggy Motel she was bleeding heavily, from two of her paws. She also had a scratch on her nose. The person working the desk at the time said she must have hurt her paws while walking on the concrete where the cages are. The worker insisted that I pay my bill for boarding and assured me that the owner, John, would contact me. The owner contacted me and said he was sorry that my animal was hurt at his facility but there was nothing he could do for me or my dog. I contacted the Butler County Sheriff’s Office Dog Warden and was assured that the business would be investigated, as this was not the first incident at The Doggy Motel. Please do not take your animals here!

We take our corgi Cash to daycare here for socialization with other dogs. They take amazing care of our boy. The place is clean, the animals are well supervised, and he always comes home worn out from a day of play! We also have him groomed here. He is a difficult guy to clip his nails (if you have a corgi, you know) and the groomers always do a fantastic job! When we went on our honeymoon, we boarded him for 8 days, and they took excellent care of him! They kept us constantly in the loop. When he did not want to eat, they tried different atmospheres until they found one that worked. Every single staff member is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves dogs with a passion. We especially love the text communication and Webcams to watch him play! It eases my anxiety so much knowing he is safe and well loved and cared for when I am not with him.

Truth be told, they don’t really deserve a star but they make you give at least one so it is what it is. I’ve known people who work at dog town present day and in the past and have never heard good reviews of the place. I personally have a dog that has gone to dog town and have seen first hand the way the business is ran and it’s sad to see. The management is beyond horrid, areal managers don’t care about the way operations run and the way the staff is treated. Lower management such as site managers don’t care for their staff. Communication is horrible and things need to change but due to who’s in charge, nothing will change. But what can you do. Soon there will be better options than dogtown. Wouldn’t recommend.

Dogtown is a blessing for us! Our dog gets so excited to go when we take him. He absolutely loves it! We take him for a play date rather than a sitting! The staff is amazing and always very nice! I also love how she always gives a report on how our dogs day was! I love hearing about it! You can take your pet day or night in case of emergency and the cost is manageable for the great care! There is live feed to check in on your loved one as well! Like I said a blessing! Thank you Dogtown! I will update with photos.

We love Dogtown. The employees are super awesome, and they treat my guy Copper like a king. He really enjoys going there even if he's just getting his nails trimmed. Every time we pull up in the lot, he can't contain his excitement. Dogtown has a customer for life. Great place right here.

Our puppy always returns happy and tired. I love the camera access so that we can watch our girl play.

We love the kennel free boarding and staff being there 24/7. The employees are all so nice and my dog is excited to go there!

We went on a family vacation to Arizona to see the grand canyon and could not take our newly adopted family member with us. By word of mouth I had heard about Dogtown and how it was cage free. After calling and talking to a staff member I was made aware that there is also cameras that are online 24hrs a day that you can view your best friend with. We had him do the temperament test, which is required, and upon acceptance we dropped him off on our way to the airport. While we are gone we were able to check in on him daily. He made so many friends and one of the staff members actually lays with them in one of the sleeping rooms so they don't miss the human interaction. Overall it was a great experience for all of us.

Great!!! We have used them with Rudy. Great place. Not only you can you Check in on your dog day and night with with cam but you can see how much fun he is having. He always comes home to just relax from all the fun. The other thing that is just amazing. You can schedule is online and card on file. The Staff know each dog by name and the checkin and pickup is 5 mins so fast.

I have been using their day care services for about 3 months now and have used their boarding services. My pup absolutely loves going to day care. In fact, he loves it so much there he tries to run back in every time I go to pick him up! The staff is very friendly and always greets my pup by name. The facility is very clean and never smells bad. The staff is very good about making sure dogs with the same activity level and size are kept together. Also, every time I have gone they have someone on the floor monitoring the dogs to make sure there is no issues. The daycare and boarding prices are fair and I think you get good value for your money. I suggest buying the packages and they are the best value for your money. If you want a happy and tired dog take you pup here for fun!

I don't recommend dogtown west chester, first they lost my dogs leash which was very special to me. Then I had to take him on a week day thati had to work, they locked him in a room with 2 other dogs and no humans for 1 hour while other dogs that came after him went straight to the play room. That same day I was watching the camera and he was barking at another dog trying to get the dog to play with him and the employee standing next to him, smacked him in the face. Very upsetting! He was also nowhere to be found for about 20 minutes on camera so not sure what was going on there, then he was acting strange with us that night and acting strange with his food...

Affordable and local canine show dog trainer... Our 2-year-old, 75 lb, mixed breed, rescue had boundary and anxiety issues... After 4 days with Blue Dog K9, Daycare/Training, there's already a definite change in his disposition and he's much easier to handle. Max is more attentive to our authority and commands. I think the play time interactions with the other large breed dogs was very beneficial to Max's confidence and socialization. We will be taking Max back for probably 2 day care stays/training a week as follow up and reinforcement.

Bobby has been amazing with my Bear. Bear is a very sweet but very high strung pittie. After one session at Blue Dog k9 care- Bear was significantly calmer and more content than ever before. I have never trusted anybody with Bear without me nearby. Bobby was very reassuring and made me comfortable that she would be ok. Bobby is friendly and makes scheduling easy. He helps her and, more importantly, me with leash training as well as smart recommendations regarding leash options, feeding habits, car restraints etc. Bobby cares about his dogs and I feel reassured knowing Bear is in his care!

Bobby is amazing with our dogs. We have two rescue pups who love going to day care 5 days a week. They have been with Bobby for almost a year and their behavior has improved as a result. Bobby is great at understanding what dogs need and taking care of them. Both our dogs have had a history of abuse and neither have reacted poorly to anything he has done. It's clear that he genuinely cares about what is best for your dog. There are a few reviewers saying that he is rude/unprofessional. I've never experienced this. Bobby is much more focused on the dogs than the pet parents, and that's exactly what I would want. He is reliable, flexible, and very accommodating. He is casual, and always texts to communicate. He is fast to respond and will schedule your drop-off and pick-up times with you to make sure it works for his schedule and yours.

My dog loves going to daycare at Blue Dog. I have been taking him here for several months after he developed separation anxiety, and I can tell that he is comfortable and always has fun here. Bobby runs a great facility and it is obvious he cares for all of his dogs. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Blue Dog has been amazing. Bobby saved the day in assisting us with a sitter on such short notice. The information he gave us was clear and concise which, in turn, made the process that much easier for us. To add, since it was our first time ever leaving our Charlie in the care of someone else, we weren’t sure how we would feel. Once we stepped into Blue Dog K9 Care we felt relieved and could tell he was in great hands. Definitely looking forward to doing business with them in the future!

Bobby is amazing! He does an awesome job looking after my pup and is very responsive. I'm new to the area, but he is my go to pet sitter now. My puppy also seems very happy and calm when he returns. I would 10/10 recommend Blue Dog K9 care in Cincinnati

I don't trust a lot of people to take care of my pups, but Bobby is one of the ones I completely trust taking my dogs to when I go out of town. He treats my dogs like his own and takes very good care of them. He really knows what he is doing and has helped out on the obedience side of things of well. I highly recommend Blue Dog K9 Care.

I will recommend Blue Dog to anyone in need of care for their dog. My dog has separation anxiety and I was really hesitant to leave him for an extended period of time. Blue Dog was incredibly accommodating of my special requests and gave him his supplements with no added charge. Additionally, my travel plans changed several times and the owner was very flexible with that as well. My dog came home happy and tired from all the playing he did while he was staying at Blue Dog. It was a great experience for both my dog and I, the treatment was much more personal than what I would’ve received at another dog care facility. Thank you Bobby! Beau and I appreciate everything you did for us.

Bobby is amazing! We went in for a meet and greet yesterday, and he trimmed my dog's nails. This is a huge victory. Many groomers and her vet have failed to complete this task. She hates having her nails trimmed. Bobby is truly a dog whisperer! He was great with our dog, and we look forward to her upcoming boarding stay with Blue Dog.

Great boarding facility! Was coming into Cincinnati for a wedding and bringing our German Shepherd..called the facility a week ahead to book and the owner was super friendly. He asked multiple questions about our dog and got our vet information. Owners very knowledgeable and familiar with all breeds. Upon arrival, the facility was very clean and a great layout. There was very large kennels for each dog, large play areas, and nice outside turfed area. Absolutely recommended!

Four dogs I have loved have been boarders at Animal Ark when I travel to visit family. The last two, Buckwheat and Millie have also been regular campers during the week. They have been well treated and loved by the staff. They were not fearful when dropped off for boarding because they knew they would be in camp during weeks they were staying at the Ark. I don’t feel guilty about leaving my pet in their care. My current dog Millie is always excited to be there! Thanks to Dakota, Mira, and Brianne and others and all those who preceded them! We love Animal Ark!

Everyone at Animal Ark is so amazing and friendly. Mazie loves going there and playing with all her friends. Especially when they have the pools filled…to say she is a water baby is an understatement. Staff is extremely interactive and creative with the activities they plan. Friends and family have all seen the photos and can’t believe they do a better job than most child day cares. But hey they are our fur babies too! We are counting down the days for her to heal from surgery and be able to come back.

Thank you so much for taking care of Sophie and Toby. After they were groomed and taken to the vet, I’m happy to say that they’re both doing so much better and seem to be happy and comfortable with me and my family. I’ll never forget your kindness. 💕 I want to add to my review. Both cats were in terrible condition after having lived with my elderly aunt for years. They were completely flee infested and their fur was so matted that they couldn’t walk or even lay down properly. The black and white cat (Toby) was 15 years old before he passed away a couple of months ago. He was so much happier and comfortable with my family before he passed. Sophie (the black cat) is now living with my dad who is taking amazing care of her. Animal Ark took very good care of them by making them so much more comfortable by shaving them (which I cant begin to imagine how difficult it must’ve been) and getting rid of the flees. They were so gentle and kind to both kitties while in their care.

I have taken my cats and dogs for grooming occasionally and always delighted! Becky does an exceptional groom on my little rascal cat! I always board my pets at Animal Ark because I know that they will receive exceptional care! thank you

It is wonderful. The dogs all have a great time. And my little guy runs to the door to go in. The staff really cares for the dogs

Good quick nailtrim and the staff is always super nice! They take good care of my little ugly dogs. Good local business to support

Animal Ark Pet Resort is great they really helped us out when we went out of town for a couple days for a wedding. My dog has NEVER been away from home and is always nervous anyway. He seemed to be at ease when we dropped him off and very happy when we picked him up also. Thanks Animal Ark for a positive experience for our doggy Rosco!!!

We have always had a positive experience with Animal Ark, whether daycare or boarding. Everyone we’ve encountered has gone above and beyond to provide kind and compassionate care for our pets, we’ve been taking our pets several years. Appreciate that we are given an overview “summary” of pet’s stay upon check out and usually a daycare report. It’s great having Animal Ark as a resource to care for our pet when needed.

Our first experience there and they did an amazing job on our Goldendoodle puppy. He was a farm dog with 9 months worth of hair and extreme matting! After taking him he looked like a completely different dog. His cut looked so professional and he smelled so good! With all the work they put in with the bath, cut, nail trim, ear clean, I paid $70. I highly recommend them and they will have a lifetime customer!

He was so happy to see us went on vacation he stayed about five days they did answered ever when I would call them and get good news about Hooks he did well thank you guys for taking care on the family dog

We take our dog, Tucker, to Woofs and Wags on our busy work days! It is so nice to allow him to play with his friends and burn his energy on the days where we don’t have the time to do so ourselves. He LOVES it there! He has made so many friends and the owner, Kelsey, makes sure to send you pictures to update throughout the day. Tucker comes home tired and ready to cuddle on the couch all night. I am so happy we tried this place and I know Tucker looks forwards to it every time we get in the car.

Woofs and wags is a wonderful place to take your pup! Junie is always so excited to go and comes home so tired from daycare. Kelsey made sure to keep us updated and feel great about leaving my pup in their care.

My two dogs Huxley and Thor have had and absolute blast at Woofs and Wags with Kelsey and staff over the past 3.5 years. My dogs literally ran in to the building each day. I felt so comfortable knowing they would be well taken care of, could socialize with other dogs, be in an engaging and clean environment while meeting their exercise needs. We are sad to have moved away and changed employers so it is no longer logistically feasible to drop the dogs off in the AM before work. I wish we could take Woofs and Wags with us!!! If you’re a dog owner on the fence about taking your dog here, just do it. Your dog will love you for it. I can’t say enough positive things about the facility, Kelsey, and staff.

Woofs and Wags has literally been a saving grace for us. We have 2 young dogs that are a major handful, and all of the ladies that work here are so patient and kind with them. So thankful that our dogs have a fun, safe place to go to get energy out while we're at work. Cannot recommend Woofs and Wags enough!!

Absolutely love this place. I take my pup minimum of once a week. When we first rescued him he was so shy and was afraid them. Loved the dogs and after a few months of being there he warmed up to the owner. Now he lets other workers there love on him. I feel like they helped him be more normal and showed him people are okay. They send photos of him almost every time to show me he’s having fun and being his loving self that I know he is. I can’t recommend this place enough. I also get Lecter groomed here and they are the only ones he lets cut his nails.

Kelsey and her team made me feel so much peace of mind when my dog, Lainey, started daycare. She sent updates, pictures, and texts all day long about her. I am so glad I went with Woofs and Wags!

Love this place! The staff is amazing and facility is so fun for the pups. They always share pictures and give updates. So nice to know your pup is loved and well cared for.

We love Woofs & Wags! Our dog Archie starts getting the zoomies every time I ask him, “do you wanna go to daycare?”. Kelsey & her staff are very loyal & trustworthy. I know that while we are working that Archie is living his best life with all his fur friends. Each staff member truly treats each dog as if it is their own. Plus, it’s such a bonus to get cute photos of him during work!

I moved to Ohio for a short period of time for my job. I had an awful experience at the first doggy daycare I took my dog too and was hesitant on trying a different place. Kelsey was SO incredibly kind and reassuring and my dog Pepino had a blast here! We were so sad to move back to Texas because of how much he enjoyed his time hanging out with all the pups! I really enjoyed getting all the fun pictures too and the Halloween craft he got to make had me feeling like a proud dog mom. Pepino misses y'all dearly ❤️

We've been using Woofs & Wags for over a year now and my boy absolutely loves it! Kelsey and her staff are always so patient and kind, especially with my reckless 115lb mastiff/pitty baby. Being able to drop your dog off in confidence that they're in good hands is priceless! You guys are awesome!

I have two Boston terriers that go to daycare at Red Dog. They absolutely LOVE going to play with their friends, and I can’t get them in the door quick enough! With a very high energy puppy, daycare has helped us tremendously. Even my anxious older Boston enjoys the socialization. The staff is great as well!

I took my dog there today for the first time for grooming. Jane was his groomer she did am excellent job on my dog. I had been to several groomers and no one could handle him. But Jane was able to give him the best hair cut and trim that he has had in about 10 months. I will definitely bring him back for all his grooming appointments.

Our dogs absolutely love Red Dog Pet Resort. The staff is always so pleasant, the groomer is AMAZING and we love boarding our boys. We typically get the villa and it’s great to see the boys on camera. They are able to board together, making them feeling more at home. We also love that there is a TV and a small door for them to go outside from their room. Highly recommended!!

Jane is great! She is very thorough and has great suggestions for grooming our pet at home between grooming visits. People in the reception area, when we dropped off our dog, were very attentive. Thanks for such great care for our Fiona!

We are fairly new to the Pet Resort experience and have used the services for a second time just last week for a quick over night stay in the Villa for our 3 pups. We love being able to check in on them on the camera. The staff is always very friendly and makes us feel comfortable to leave our babies in their care.

This was our 1st time to visit and it was wonderful. Everyone is friendly, and professional. This was for grooming my Golden Retriever and Jane did a great job. I was able to speak with her before and explain specific things i wanted.

Our dog Phyllis always has a wonderful time at this dog playhouse (kennel). It’s very conveniently located just off 275 and Princeton Pike in Springdale. Excellent hours and the staff we have met so far are all great! I highly recommend Springdale Red Dog Inn.

Red Dog took great care of our puppy. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and caring for our pup. We highly recommend and would take our pup back!

We LOVE Red Dog! Our Cocoa (who's almost 11) only goes two days a week but she is always greeted warmly and we are constantly told how good she is. She gets some exercise and love during the day when we are at work. Would absolutely recommend the Springdale location over and over again!

I was nervous leaving my dogs for the first time. They answered all my questions and were so nice. I was able to log in and see my dogs at anytime. Very clean, and will definitely be using them again!

The staff is friendly, and they are great with the dogs. It's always hard to leave our dog for a few days, but we know they'll take great care of him! The facility is kept very clean. They even post photos of the dogs on Facebook so you can see how things are going. We highly recommend!

Our pups stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. They got a special dinner in Thanksgiving. They came home groomed and exhausted. I would say it was a success. The staff was kind and helpful. They quickly respond to questions and upfront with pricing.

Very happy with this business. We needed a place for my dog to stay for a week(on short notice). Make sure your pet is up to date on shots. We found out the day we arrived that there is a special shot for "boarding" and we had to get this done. Great people and it seems like this is a family run business. We will be back.

I love Red Barn its wonderful. They take great care of my Chihuahua. I don't even worry about her while we're gone because I'm so confident that she is in good hands.

I took my little dog here for the 1st time over the weekend. I was referred to them by close friends who take their dogs there. I am so pleased with this facility!! They treated my dog so well. I will definitely be using this resort again! Thank you, Red Barn!

We love Red Barn Kennels! Our little furbaby Simba enjoys staying there as well. The staff is always so kind. It's a relief to know he's well taken care of when we're unable to bring him with us on our travels.

Well, we went to visit the Red Barn Pet Resort in West Harrison, Indiana this morning. AMAZING!!! CLEAN! Clean looking, clean smelling! We were so impressed. We were feeling horrible about having to leave our buddy, Dutch, for a few days and now we just feel kinda bad. LOL. What a class act operation. The owner and staff were delightful. It is equipped with large kennels, grooming, free space, fenced runs and is layed out to accommodate winter and summer conditions for the “babies”. They have a doggie ice cream truck! What? I wonder if he drives real slow playing music watching them all run after him 😛 Thank you for the tour and a big piece of mind. Dave and Sandra G.

I had a tour of the facility and was very impressed. Lots offered for my dog and was extremely clean. I look forward to using thus place for my dog

My grand dog is high maintenance and difficult but she really does SO well with the staff here. It's super clean and makes me feel our pets are safe.

They took amazing care of our dogs! They even emailed me right away when I sent an email to check on them which surprised me because it was kind of late! They definitely will be my go to kennel for our dogs from now on!!!
