Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.

honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.

Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.

Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.

Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!

We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!

Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!

Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.

Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!

We love Inglis Pet Hotel! They have demonstrated a whole new level of care for our fur baby. It is so nice to be able to know we don't have to worry. I highly recommend Inglis, whether for a few hours, overnight, or a week, this is the place for your pet!
best place to leave your doggies. a bit pricey but nothing but the best for my babies. this is the 2nd time using this place. My dogs stayed 5 days this time. they were healthy and happy when we picked them up.
This place was perfect for our dog Nas. He would get anxious at other places around town but at Inglis he is always excited to go. They take great care of our pup there!
My Shiba Inu loved staying here! Was a slow time of year and she was upgraded to a beautiful room! Wonderful staff even sent me photos of my dog enjoying her stay! Would recommend to any person who loves their dogs but must leave them in someone else's care!
I have an older rescue dog that I adopted during the pandemic. She is very high strung and I didn't realize how clingy and full of anxiety she was until things started to open up again and I tried to leave her. I've tried a few kennels and day cares...and I am so glad I finally found the Inglis Pet Hotel! The staff is so easy to work with...and are so good with her! In the past year she has stayed with them for day care numerous times and also overnight boarding for longer trips. I feel very fortunate to have found them - they have made leaving her more comfortable for me - knowing she is in good hands!!
Very well run, my dogs always come home clean and happy. The staff are happy and helpful. You can tell they enjoy working with dogs. I've had my 2 beagle boys here three times since 5/2019 and definitely will continue to use and recommend this kennel. This morning they washed my dogs' blankets before I picked up my dogs so I didn't have to do that when I got home.
Can't say enough about the staff at Inglis PH! I have housed my dogs there on several occasions from 1-6 days. They are always obliging and welcoming to me and my rambunctious lab (RED)! The prices are very affordable. The site is secured (alarms, video, fences). Dogs are not locked up inside all day either.. As every experienced pet owner should know.. You should always plan on grooming your dog after a kennel stay. Inglis has great grooming prices as well! I have recommended many family members and friends who have also had great experiences! Top knotch all the way around!
The are angels here. My dog with me every day n even goes work with me. I had 10 day trip and have not been away from my dog for that long. He hasn't done good at previous daycare. He absolutely loves it here and did so well. They really care about your fur babies. Worth every pennie.
Best place to train your dog the staff is so friendly and really did a good job training cleopatra I highly recommend this place and also to have your dog enjoy the hotel if you need to leave it for couple days
We've used this kennel many time the past 4 years and each time they have been wonderful to our dogs. Our pets are always happy to see the staff and they're not stressed when we return. Prices are reasonable and they offer a variety of different boarding options.

My big Baby sometimes has trouble with other dogs and also gets irritable in the heat. We travel and were at a loss what to do with her when we travel. Well Dioji of Oxnard solved that! Now Baby gets her own private suite, private playtime and has lots of fun playing with the staff! They also send a report card with photos every day!! We call it camp for her! Thank goodness we found this place!
Our Luz loves coming to Dioji in Oxnard for a full day of fun with all the great staff. She especially loves swimming in the bone shaped pool, hanging out and napping on all the different play structures. Their selection of treats is also great! We love taking advantage of the freebies offered with the purchase of daycare packages. Definitely recommend Dioji in Oxnard, all of the staff are friendly and attentive. We appreciate the daily updates on behavior and look forward to the pictures posted to her report card.
We first started bringing our pup Maverick to Dioji after moving to the area earlier this year, and just keep coming back. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are absolutely wonderful. They’re all so kind, and being dog lovers themselves there’s never a doubt Maverick is getting the best care when he’s there for the day. It’s the highlight of my day when I receive email “report cards” at work with fun photos of him enjoying the pool and playing with his dog buddies. And he comes home exhausted! I mean… doesn’t that smile speak for itself? Bring your pup to Dioji, you won’t regret it! 🐶 Maverick approves this message 🐾
Great place for daycare and overnight boarding. I really appreciate that the staff will communicate with me when they see any potential problems(ex a rash they noticed). Everyone is always super friendly and we always feel safe leaving the girls for daycare and boarding. They have a pool which my lab of course loves and we get report cards at the end of the day with pictures of your pups which I always look forward to. I appreciate the transparency with having “windows” you can check on your pup while they are on the “playground”. Highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff, we appreciate you!
We love the Dioji and staff because they are so nice. They great Sparky by name and are always smiling. They love and care about each dog. I love the report cards in the pictures. They send when I leave Sparky there for boarding. We will never go anywhere else.
my pup loves it here ! He’s always excited to see his friends and also make new ones :) Dioji is very clean and has amazing staff that adore every pup that comes thru their doors 🤗 …
Mr. Todd’s family here! He has been coming to Dioji since they open in Oxnard! He absolutely loves coming to daycare! He jumps and howls for joy when he sees us getting his bags ready! Once in the car he knows he is coming for a day of fun! He definitely looks forward to all his friends at Dioji oxnard ! Y’all make him feel so loved during the day or when he spends the night!
Cash has been going to Dioji Oxnard since day 1 of opening! We love that he’s known by name by the staff and they take such good care of him when he stays for daycare and boarding! Wouldn’t leave him anywhere else but here. Highly recommend this resort!
Skilled, knowledgeable, kind, efficient, wonderful dog and people centered employees! I have never been to any soggy day care of boarding like Dioji of Oxnard— highly Recommend! Look How happy!
My Harry Poppins (goldendoodle) has been going to Dioji for about 6 months now both for day care and boarding (and a bath). I have had nothing but excellent service. The facility is so clean. Harry is not a fan of riding in the car, but when he realizes where he is going his tail wags and he jumps out of the car and heads for the front door. He is greeted by the staff by name and is aways willing to head back for fun! I have spied on him a couple of times while playing and the staff is so loving and caring. I know he is in great hands. When I pick him up they always tell me who he played with for the day and how much of his lunch he ate, or did not eat. They are professional, kind and loving to all dogs and their owners. I am a first time dog owner and have a few questions from time to time which they are happy to answer. I consider myself lucky to have found such a great place for pup!

Courtney could not have been more amazing! She was great with our Aussie while we were away for a wedding. She took her on mile long walks twice a day, checked in through her company’s portal so we could see pictures and a map of their walk, we felt so comfortable having her take care of our dog while we were on vacation. We will definitely be hiring Courtney on our next trip, we trust her completely!
I am so happy to have started my dog walking with Dogs Walk Plus. My experience with Courtney has only been reliable and professional. The "report cards" for each walk are great and it's easy to tell each walk is handled with care for your beloved pet. My dog is timid and every walker has taken the effort to accommodate my pups unique personality. Would recommend Dogs Walk Plus to anyone!
I have been using Dogs Walk Plus for almost a year now & have nothing but positive experiences! I love that Courtney knows how to play & give attention to our dogs but also gives us tips on how we can improve walks & commands with our Aussie Mia. I feel comfortable with Courtney going into our home since with don’t have a side gate & closing everything up before she leaves.Prices for services are great & service is two thumbs up. If you’re looking for a dog walker or someone to stop by to check in your fur baby while you’re working, etc. Dogs Walk Plus is it!
I have used Courtney and Dog Walks Plus for all 5 of my dogs. She is very capable of working and handling dogs of all temperaments. I have one dog who is high energy and vocal, he barks a lot, and she handles him perfectly! Courtney is very trustworthy and reliable. I feel very comfortable with her coming to my home, and exercising my dogs, and leaving my home secure when she is finished. On top of being great with dogs, reliable and trustworthy, Courtney always shows up with a smile on her face! I highly recommend Dog Walks Plus!
Excellent company providing quality service. Great personnel, total trust in taking care of my dog. They are super flexible and willing to work with you to find best options for you and pet.
Courtney has been incredible! She has taken such good care of Bosco and has been very flexible and reliable when I get stuck at work. She has a great way with dogs as Bosco is always excited to see her. Her services are unique and so useful especially for energetic dogs. The service you get for the price along with the peace of mind knowing you can trust her cant be beat! I highly recommend Courtney and thank her for all her help!
For: Courtney Thank you note for your dog walking assistance. You are knowledgeable, thoughtful and professional in your work, and a pleasure for me to have been able have your dog help when I really needed it. I learned a lot and both my dogs now have learned to play on the beach with me and come when I call them too. JOY!
Courtney is absolutely the best. The way she takes care of our three pups is amazing. She’s highly reliable, very kind, and obviously loves animals. I couldn’t possibly recommend her more!
Courtney is very professional, very caring and took excellent care of my dog Kayla. Kayla is a Boston terrier and loved courtney. I would recommend her services to anyone. I would not trust just anyone with my Kayla.But she took very good care of her and gave her the exercise that she needed and the loving. From Glenda Sullivan and Kayla
Dogs Walk Plus is an amazing service provider. Their services are fairly priced. I needed at home service on short notice and in Ventura and they accommodated me. Their online client portal is easy to use. Courtney took very good care of my cats while I was away, which included pictures. She even cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess. If I could give more stars, I would.

We love Barb and all the staff at Laughing Dog Inn. Our sweet, crazy, fun loving Aussie has a hard time in new situations. The staff understood her needs and gave her love and support while she learned to have fun when her mom and dad were away. Not all pups are easy, so it's nice to have a loving place they will be cared for and well looked after. We are thrilled to give them the 5 stars they deserve.
And good times and bad, Laughing dog inn has been there for us for our pets. They take extremely good care of your pet, if Something Happens and your pet needs medical attention, they are very diligently attend to it. Most of the time though, it’s all playtime and an excellent experience for my Ziggy! Ziggy gets extremely excited when we get close to dropping him off there, we call it going away to camp for a couple of days or however we have to leave our pets. The staff is easy to accommodate special requests to make him comfortable. Thank you for being there for us all the time! Also! They will post photos on their Facebook site or send them to you by text message if you request!
We have had wonderful experiences with Laughing Dog Inn. We have done their Puppy 101 and daycare to date and love all of the staff with whom we’ve worked. They go above and beyond. I love that they send a photos or videos of our puppy playing and pair her up with similar dogs and puppies. The setup with different environments has been great and the owners and trainers are always available. Updated on 3/3/23: I highly recommend the boarding option as well. Our girl stayed 11 days and came home happy and calm. Special thanks to everyone and to Paige for the adolescent dog training so far.
Barb is absolutely amazing. We did a puppy 1 class with our new puppy and learned tons. We rescued a second husky 3 weeks ago and have been applying the lessons we learned in the puppy 1 class. However, we live in an apartment and take them to dog parks and out for walks as much as possible, but it just wasn't enough. We took them to laughing dog inn for the doggy day care and they had the most amazing day. Our puppers have been sleeping solid after their dinner. I've never seen them sleep so sound and with smiles on their faces. I can't say enough good things about Barb and the laughing dog inn. We thank you, and the puppers can't wait to come back!
Barb and the Laughing Dog Inn has been the best thing to happen to me and my little boy Gus! He knows when we are on the way and is jumping out of the car when we get there. I know hes in good hands when hes stays. So glad I found Barb!
Ziggy's (Pictured on the right) first camping experience. He was more intent on staying than he was to get into the car to go home...! He'll be back next weekend to do it again... GREAT staff! GREAT attitude! GREAT location! GREAT facility! ...
We brought our rescue pups to Laughing Inn - first time they were away from us since November, and due to COVID, they were not around very many people or other dogs. So we were a little nervous leaving them for the first time. The staff even sent me a text telling me about their day So we were put at ease right away. The owner, Barb, is a hands on owner of the facility; very knowledgeable and friendly. I will continue to leave my dogs at Laughing Inn whenever we go someplace, as I told me friends, heck I would stay there!!
I always appreciate all the wonderful people at Laughing Dog Inn. They’ve been a huge help in socializing my pandemic pup, and they always welcome her as a loved individual. She comes home tired from a day of playing with all her friends, and I know she’s safe and cared for the whole time. I love the training classes and the daycare, and I really love that the staff know and love each dog so well. These are genuine dog people in the very best sense.
We recently boarded our six month old puppy at Laughing Dog Inn and it was the best experience ever. After having dogs for years and going through many different ways of boarding, Barb and her team make the process so easy. Not only can you book online, but you get text message updates during the day. The drop off and pick up process is so easy, I was delighted to not have to fill out pages of paperwork. We are thrilled that our puppy will be able to be at Laughing Dog Inn for many years to come!
Barb and staff at the laughing dog inn are still amazing. We moved out of the area almost 2 years ago but needed to travel for a day trip past them for business. We left our 2 puppers with them for the day and they had so much fun just like when they went on a weekly basis back when we lived in the area. We are happy that the laughing dog inn is surviving this pandemic and highly recommend them to help socialize, manage, and keep your pup's happy. Thank you Barb!
