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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

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.

Leslie
Jeannette was the absolute best pet sitter anyone could ask for! She was communicative and easy going. She took very good care of the house, but most importantly she took superb care of my dog, Bodhi. She took him on long walks and fun adventures everyday. While I was out of the country, I received pictures and updates of their "vacation". I loved seeing Bodhi's and Jeannette's smiles in all the photos. They definitely bonded. :) I would highly recommend Jeannette as a pet sitter and also as an excellent person who cares about people, animals, and the planet.
Lynn
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Barbara
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have 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.
Kristen
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
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!!!
Lesa Renee
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Kellie
Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.
Mara
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Absolutely wonderful! If you love your dog as much as I love mine they will be in excellent hands at beyond The basics dog care! You can tell the difference when someone sincerely does it for the love of animals and this place is all that and then some! I'm a guy that's very attached to his dog as though he's my little boy and I felt hesitant to leave him overnight anywhere and because of unfortunate circumstances I had to have a place for him to stay the night and all of my worries were taken away by the genuine care he received! I highly recommend this place! Best Dog Care Around! Jenny Actually Cares! Beyond the Basics is true my dog is happy to arrive 😁 Jenny goes that extra mile to make your fur babies feel like they're still at home. She is it genuine sincere kind soul and I trust her with my fur son❤️
Only boarding we use. We drive an hour out of our way just to use Jenny. She is beyond experienced handling dogs and takes great care of each animal as it’s her own! She helped tame Wildman Tux. ❤️
Our dog loves this place. She takes very good care of our Murphy.
Mrs. Jenny and her mom literally saved my dogs life!! They are amazing and care for your dogs as they are your own!
Jenny is awesome and really cares for our babies. My boys love going to see her, it’s like they get their own little vacation.
Jenny is one of the most wholesome and kind hearted business owners I have ever met. We are beyond grateful that Jenny has watched our dogs for the past four years. We would be lost without her care and are glad we found such a caring individual to leave our dogs with when we are out of town. Please don’t hesitate to leave your pets with Jenny at Beyond the Basics !
As always nothing but the best treatment . We've been using them for a few years maybe once or twice a year and our great Danes seem to enjoy and have a wonderful time. Very clean , plenty of space for the doggies to play and I cant say enough great things about Jenny. Patience of a Saint, nicest personality, clearly actually does it for the love of the animals.
The owner is awesome. We never have any issues. She does awesome with our dogs. It's so nice to be able to go away and know they are safe. Thanks Jenny for everything we appreciate you so much!!
Jenni is fantastic. My crazy pup loves her. She feels safe, loved and well cared for while she is there.
I will not take my dogs anywhere else for boarding. Jenny is a dog person through and through and it really shows. She's always excited to see our dogs like they are her own. She takes pictures and videos for you as well. Nothing bad to say at all. I wish every animal boarding facility was ran by her!

My Harley girl has been coming to this facility for a few months now and she is always so excited to go play with her friends. The staff there are always so happy to see her and sometimes give me a review of how she did and what friends she had made that day. The only thing I could maybe critique is the cameras to check on the pups aren't great quality but now that she's so happy to go every few days, I trust these beautiful humans to take care of my baby girl. Thank you! ❤️
We have been taking our border collie puppy Dexter here for a few months now for daycare. They always take great care of him! He gets so excited when we pull up, and is always tired coming home. The staff there are friendly- we especially love Izzy, they always gives us nice little updates on how his day went! It's really nice that they have cameras as well, where we can check on Dexter throughout the day. The last few months he has grown a lot, turning into a nice young adult dog and we have them to thank for helping with that!
Absolutely Love and Highly recommend The Furlough Dog Daycare. I have two large dogs a Husky and a German Shepard which are difficult to find overnight stays or grooming, not for The Furlough, they are amazing. I use them for a dog play day, to let them mingle with other dogs in an amazing and safe environment or more recently a few nights vacations for the family I was able to board my dogs. My dogs love this place. Grooming is great too!! Thank you Furlough!!!
After having a few bad experiences at another facility with Titan, a previous dog I owned, I decided to groom him myself. I currently have 2 Keeshond dogs, Maive and Maverick. There is NO way I could groom them! I have only ever gotten them groomed here, and don’t plan on going anywhere else! Why would I? They ask me what I want for them. They follow through with the directions I give. They do it with a smile on their face. The best part is they do a beautiful job!
I have gotten my dogs groomed there and I have bored them there. I love this place they live on my dogs and take great care of them. I won't go anywhere else!!
🐾We love this place ❤ we have been taking our dog Noah for about a year now he loves it! It feels good to beable to go on vacation or away for the weekend and know my fur baby is safe only compliant would be it's hard to see the cameras at times 🐾 …
I read all the reviews and a family friend recommended this place to me. I needed a place for my dog to be boarded for Thanksgiving week. This place is so nice and friendly. The staff members really care for your fur baby while you are away. There are nice dogs everywhere. My little husky-mix, Plum made lots of friends both human and canine while she stayed there. Miss Plum was so happy so she and I will definitely return to the Furlough for sure.
They take great care of our Sailor! You can trust them with your fur baby!!!
Great place. Took my dog here a few times. Employees to me feel like they actually care about your pup and not just babysitting. Definitely will recommend!
A great place. It is obvious they love what they do

I recently sent my dog to stay for a holiday weekend and was so impressed with this business. They made sure to answer every question/concern I had and I love that you can add extra play time and walks. I will definitely be using Cairn Dale farms again! They took great care of my baby and were very professional and personable. I highly recommend 10/10 thank you Cairn Dale farms for taking such great care of my dog ❤️
I was looking for a new groomer for my 3 dogs. My Ruby has to get done more than the others cuz she has long hair and we couldn't see her face so I was able to call and they got me in pretty quick, most places you take 2 months to get in or they don't take new clients anymore very nice clean place friendly staff! They have a puppy(that's what I call them) that someone brought in for grooming or boarding and never picked up he's been there his whole life living there jumps in a window to come see me for treats he was one of my favorites!
If I could give this place "0" stars I would. Do NOT bring your dogs here. Our dogs were only there for three days. I was called in the afternoon of the second day to see if they could give them baths because they "rolled" in their feces (which my dogs have never done!) I said yes please do and they charged us $50. When my husband picked up the dogs about 36 hours later he asked if he could go back to get them with whoever was waiting on him and they said "no.. that they don't let customers in the back" Red Flag! Our dogs were covered in feces and dirt. Glad my husband picked them up in his old van! One of our dogs was barely walking. They both looked traumatized and when we bathed them the tub water was disgusting!!! I sure am glad they gave them a bath the day before or we may not have recognized them... DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS HERE! You will be sorry you did.
We use Cairn-Dale for boarding and for trimming my very anxious dog's nails. Even the vet won't trim his nails because he is so jumpy. Kristen and the other groomers do such a good job taking care of my dogs. We only trust her to do his nails! Their boarding services are affordable and definitely worth it!
Excellent staff who are very knowledgeable and caring. Great place for your Animals! A pet vacation! Amber has been grooming my poodle Benny for years now and does an excellent job. No problem ever.
Easy to use booking website, great care and close to my house. Definitely will use them again. Rocky seemed well taken care of and happy when I picked him up which is nice since he is a bit anxious and needy.
We paid for the training services just about introducing our dog to other dogs. This was just before 4th of July. They had more dogs come in that weekend and said due to more dogs coming in, they were unable to work with our dog. Our dog came home from there and began chewing the doorframe (he had never done this before) and showing severe signs of separation anxiety. This was our first experience with a boarding service, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This past weekend (end of July) we took him to a different place and had absolutely no issues with him and the new place would even let him go into a fenced yard with other dogs and things went fine. So I'm not sure why this place couldn't work with him on it even though I paid for their "training" program. We will continue to use the new place because Bowser (my dog) did very well and I feel like they actually care at the new place.
We board our dog and cat here every vacation and couldn't be happier. They are well cared for during their visit and always come back home clean and happy. I definitely recommend them for boarding.
Best kennel ever. They are professional dog lovers! Our pup loves to go. He does overnight stays and just goes for grooming. Quality staff who will love your pet.
I brought in my 2 poodles to be groomed. They butchered the job. the manager admitted to not knowing what a poodle cut was. The girl who brought the poodles to my husband said the would look better in 2 weeks. The nails were hardly touched and the hair cut uneven over their bodies. They charged us $130.00 for the both of them. Because they had in fact performed some service, I asked for $65.00 back which I received. This was a definite lesson learned. It cost me $65.00 and a bad groom job. You are welcome to make up your own minds, but i will not be back!

We took our house cat, Benson to get his nails trimmed and were nervous as he has never had them trimmed before. Upon arrival you could tell everyone was animal lovers and cared deeply about each animal. Janessa was absolutely amazing with Benson. She got him out of the carrier, held him, made sure he felt comfortable and trimmed his nails with no problems. Larry and his wife were so kind and told us about there monthly events. We will be bringing Benson back for sure. Thank you Big Blue Barn.
We have been going here for a while now, and I’ve always been pleased with the way our little man looks. However, this last groom was the best groom he has ever received period! I couldn’t have been more impressed by the way he looked! Elisha, the newest groomer did an absolutely fantastic job making our little man look so dapper❤️ it was also such a nice change walking in to see two new smiling faces ready to do their job. Both ladies came and loved on our little man when we first got there to help ease some anxiety. When I got there to pick him up a couple hours later he had a treat and was nice and secure in the back with Elisha which I love seeing. Thanks guys for taking such great care of our little man and making him look so handsome❤️
Larry was amazing. He was able to fit us in last minute and went above and beyond. He gave me an excellent report to assist me with our vet appointment. He is very responsive and so kind.
I boarded my 3 year old lab with them for a week. I opted for a go home groom as well. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The staff was super accommodating and truly cared about the pets. The booking process was smooth and super simple. I got lots of photos and updates on my dog while we were away to help appease my missing him. He came home clean, happy and so tried. He clearly had a great time. We will definitely be going back. I love all the extra options they offer to make your pet more comfortable during their stay. Edit to add: one year later of grooms and nail trims and stays and my review stands. Excellent care and service and am so pleased with Big Blue Barn!
Larry and Jordyan are so professional and wonderful to work with - we have giant breed dogs which makes it hard to find a groomer in our area. Big Blue Barn is definitely our go-to groomer from now on! Their prices are great, and they made our dogs look and smell amazing. Highly recommend!!!
The staff here is awesome! They do a great job with grooming and I would use them without hesitation for boarding if I ever needed to. Frank runs for the barn when we come here and is always happy to see his friends!
My 17 week old goldendoodle was professionally groomed for the first time today (7/26/2023). I love him fluffy, so he was washed, dried, and trimmed on his face, feet, and butt. He's such a handsome boy. Laura did an awesome job with him. We will definitely return. Pictures - right is before and left is after.
I want to recommend and thank Larry and Laura. I have an 85 lbs. Strong Bernedoodle that does not want to cooperate with the grooming process. My former groomer said she would no longer take him. I contacted Big Blue Barn. The owner and groomer took time to discuss my issues and did a meet and greet groom. They gave me some advise and are going to work with me. He even looked good with the 1 st visit and I feel completely comfortable with them. You know how we are with our fur babies.
Larry and his gang took great care of my Sadie. She's scared of almost everything and most men, but she warmed right up to him. He took the time to ask about her habits and things to watch for. We will be back!
Great professional customer service, on top of making my pup look absolutely amazing every time he is groomed!! I can’t recommend this place enough! They truly care about the well being of your dog!
