Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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.
Jennifer
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.
Katrina
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Rory
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
Kristina and Doug
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.

Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
Lori
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Robert
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Samantha
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

This is a fantastic small business run by a true pet lover, with a huge fenced in yard to exercise the dogs, daily photos and kind texts, and lots of play time with the other dogs who are boarding at Mad Pawz. Truly first rate in every respect, with clear communications and fair pricing. The owners are lovely people who will love your dogs. Our family travels regularly. And as much as we love them, we can't always take our two dogs with us. A friend recommended trying Faith and her family at Mad Pawz for the very best care in the area. And our friend was right - we feel like we hit the jackpot in dog boarding.
Faith and Justin at Mad Pawz are awesome! They sent us photos and updates of our Luna everyday and even got her a pup cup for spoil your pup day! When we picked Luna up, Faith was very informative on how everything went. 10/10 recommend!!
We found Mad Pawz by chance while we were frantically looking to board our Bo right before a trip Puerto Rico. The place we normally take him was full because of course we wait until the last minute. Of course I was hesitant as he had never gone there before but I tell you what, I’m normally not a lucky person, but we hit the jackpot. Mad Pawz isn’t a typical boarding facility, it’s a home away from home. What boarding facility has ever sent you pictures of your pets every single day? Without fail, every day I received a picture of Bo and I could tell that he was so happy to be there by the look on his face. It made me smile and tear up a little every single time. He’s not sad in a kennel all day. He’s happy and playing with his new best friends! It gave me a peace of mind that you can’t really even put a price tag on. I didn’t worry about him for one second while I was gone. I only leave reviews if I am so extremely happy with something that I feel I have to tell others. If you’re looking for a HOME (not a kennel) away from home for your pets, I can’t recommend anywhere better!
You couldn't find a better place to board your furbabies than Mad Pawz! You can tell instantly it's more than a job to Faith and Justin. It's a passion, and that's what makes Mad Pawz our first choice for our pet boarding needs! Oh, and the daily pictures of our pups didn't hurt either!
Mad Pawz takes great care of my dog when I'm away, and it's been a big help with her socialization with other dogs. Prices are fair, and with their new location, the dogs have a big yard to play in.
A+++ service, friendly, pet oriented care. This is our go to pet boarding and drop in dog walking service. Price is very reasonable. Your fur baby is in good hands here!!!
It was a great atomsphere for my 2 dogs they had a blast, Mad Pawz sent me photos of them playing or laying around relaxin. They had a party and the dogs get pup cups. Thanks Mad Pawz job well done
I was very apprehensive about leaving our boy Loki with a boarding place and I’m so glad we chose Mad Pawz! He was taken such great care of and he absolutely loved it there. He was treated like one of the family and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was doing so well! They send daily updates and photos and that was wonderful! Highly recommend this for your fur babies!
Horrible customer service from Faith. She did not check the paperwork or ask any questions prior to his first visit nor did she try to get to know him before taking him inside. We heard Faith screaming at the other dogs from the front yard when we arrived. Then she continued to tell us that she was leaving to run errands but her husband was in the yard. When we arrived for pickup, Justin was in the yard and the dogs were inside. Completely unacceptable to be paying for a sitter and he’s not being monitored especially when other dogs are present. Justin was very nice and friendly during pickup and the only positive outcome of this experience
Such an amazing dog daycare spot! My family & I went to go experience the Allegheny train ride, so we needed to drop our little fur baby for a couple hours. He had lots of fun with the other dogs and would definitely recommend it to others! Faith was super sweet and we felt very comfortable dropping our little pup.

Tina, Jamie, everyone there has always provided excellent care for our Collies. We think they love them as much as we do! The facilities are spacious and well designed. The drop off and pick up times are very convenient. Communication is seamless. They continue to add enrichment experiences, walks, play spaces, even special seasonal treats. We don’t feel any guilt when Kepler needs to stay at his Pet Resort.
We can't say enough about the amazing care our pups, Bella and King, receive at Dogwood Pet Resort. From the moment we drop them off, we know they're in the best hands. Tina and her team are absolutely wonderful. They treat our dogs like their own, and it's evident that they genuinely care about their well-being. Every time we pick up Bella and King, they're always happy, healthy, and full of energy. It's clear they've had a blast during their stay. We trust Dogwood Pet Resort completely and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a place to board!
Fantastic experience for our Zuzu! We used Dogwood for 3 separate vacations this summer and couldn’t give them higher praise. Tina and everyone there truly love their jobs and our fur babies. The additions they have offered now such as nature walks and playtime in the yard kept her very active and content. She was always clean and happy every time we’ve picked her up. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality care for their pups. She even gave us updates and pictures 😊.
Staff is great with my dog, Kenji, and he seems very happy there. He's always excited when he goes there, which is a good thing. When I take Kenji to Dogwood, our drive is an hour and some. Because of how my dog is treated, I will keep driving that far when I need to board him again.
First time we took our dog there, we had the best experience. He was only there 5 days the first time. However, our second experience was not the best. He came home with a chewed harness, broken leash, and smelled like dog/cat pee. After spending $150more dollars to replace everything that was broken and on a grooming appointment, he’s finally back to the same self. His behavior has changed drastically. He does not listen to his basic commands and is chewing everything insight, including our brand new carpet. I really hat to give poor reviews to any business because the worked were so kind and informative when dropping and picking our dog up. I just hope this was one bad experience.
Our baby boy loves your place. My husband and I never worry when he’s with you. You can tell that you love him as if he was your own. Your place is always so clean, the entire staff is friendly and helpful… you have us forever 🥰🥰 …
We had a fantastic experience with Dogwood Pet Resort! The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and our dog came back happy and well-cared for. AND the nature walks are a plus. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their furry friend.
Tina and Tony are great pet people. They take time to go over all of ur concerns and make sure ur dog is as happy and taken care of as best as any dog kennel I have ever seen. There employees Jamie and Benett are also very willing to listen to your pet concerns and make sure you feel good leaving ur fur baby with them. Our dog loves to stay there and we can tell when we pick him up he is happy as he was when we dropped him off. Our dog will stay there moving forward and I'm glad we found such a great place to take care of our furry friend.
My daughter took my grandog to Dogwood pet resort for a day out of the house and she came back the happiest we've ever seen her! They bathed her, blew her coat (Husky), clipped her nails and played her little heart out. She can't wait to go back for another day out of the house and to explore the new play yard ❤️
My dog is always eager to go and happy when I pick him up. The staff are amazingly wonderful. The beautiful wooded site makes it marvelous for his daily walks. Saxon gives it 5 woofs!

a perfect place to bring your pets if you are going on vacation or just need a day to yourself. the staff is wonderful and super friendly.
They have watched our cats twice now and I'm very happy with them. My cats seemed very happy there when I came to pick them up. Their staff are always very friendly and helpful.
My dogs are always treated so good here. Very clean facility and friendly, caring staff.
Absolutely the best kennel for pets that I have ever used and my wife and I have lived in multiple states!! They are so professional and my dog gets excited about going there. I have never had any issue regarding fleas and ticks there, unlike other boarding places. Their prices are reasonable and I like their grooming services.
Happy Tails is the absolute best boarding and grooming place. We’ve taken our lab, Captain, here for more than 4 years. The kennels are clean and staff are over the top friendly! Highly recommend!
We absolutely LOVE this place. When we bring our fur baby here, we do not exist once he steps in the door. He looks forward to coming here and is always happy which makes us happy. 😁 …
These people are absolutely the BEST!!!! They treat every single dog like family!! Dale & his wife are so sweet/ loving & patient...really good folks. I always feel good about leaving my dogs here & am confident they are in good hands when I'm gone. Both my guys were there today getting groomed & they look awesome! Can't thank Happy Tails enough for always doing an amazing job! Love this place!💖🐩
Love this place for my pets. They take such good care of them. I worried at first cause I never leave them but they did wonderful. The grooming was great my dogs smelled good for a month.
Happy Tails did a great job taking care of our two dogs recently. Will definitely go back. Very convenient drop off and pick up times too.
First visit this week great team, and easy to work with. What peace of mind we had on Vacation. We were able to call to check on Tank. If they did not answer they gave a call back quickly and the price was great for there quality service. We highly recommend if you need someone to look after your fur baby. Thanks Dale and everyone at Happy Tails. You all did great.

Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. They were great to work with - very accommodating and sent updates. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. Highly recommend & we will use again.
Jess and Kevin were able to watch our dogs on a last minute trip for us. The pups were so happy and content being there. It was obvious how well they were taking care of. Only 30 minutes from Oakland. We will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!
