We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
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!
Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella. We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another. We would be honored to have them sit again. On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift. zeewoi continues to be the best site ever. Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Laura is incredible! For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance. From there... where do we start?! Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place. Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home. Everything was so thoughtful and kind. Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care. She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!
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.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!

My dog always leaves happy and well taken care of. Jan always fits us in, even though we always ask last minute for care. Staff is very friendly and takes good care of our pup!
Great people, great place! Happy doggies! We've been using this kennel service for a few years now, when we go on vacations or just overnighters. They have a good sized area for your dog(s) to run, and ponds for your dog to swim, splash, and play in. They also give your dog a bath when needed. Whether our dog is there for a couple of days, or a couple of weeks, our little buddy is always very well cared for in our absence, and always comes home very happy. Just a note: Records of all required immunizations must be presented, and all must be current. I recommend calling in advance to book your planned kennel dates far enough ahead to assure availability for the dates you need, and also to give yourself time to bring all of your furry buddy's shots current, before your scheduled drop off date. I've rated this kennel service with the maximum of 5 stars, but we would give them 1,000 more if it were possible. We are, and have been very happy with this kennel facility and service, and we'll keep using this service as long as we have doggies.
Janet is great! This was our first time using Storm’s Ahead so the dogs were a little skittish. We will definitely use Janet again!
Janet is wonderful! She took great care of my Newfoundland and told me all about how my pup did during her stay. Their facility is beautiful and the area for the dogs to run is large. They clean the kennels out every morning while the dogs run and play outside. Since I was wondering if they do general obedience training, we talked about training options for my pup and I feel like the daily boarding and training prices are affordable! The personalized options for training/scheduling were great! I can't wait to bring my dog back to stay again soon, she loved her time there!
This place is great! Our pup always comes home exhausted!
Always a great place! Our dog LOVES it here. He’s so excited to leave the car and get in there! Everyone is kind, very easy to work with and it’s a great environment for the dogs.
Love this place, we have a Doberman and bring her to Storm Ahead when we are out of town. Great value, extremely accommodating and our dog loves going. They also provide a bath for a minimum cost so when you pick your dog up they will be clean and smell amazing for a shockingly long time, longer than some groomers I've been to. Highly recommend!!!
Love the love in this place! Thanks for Piper and Finn! Old girl Freckles seems to be adjusting!
This review is a little biased-Janet is my sister. From the time Janet could walk, she has loved all animals-dogs, cats, horses, ducks, hamsters, you name it! She even insisted on eating next to our family poodle, Bridgette, on the kitchen floor when she was a toddler. The love and caring that she has for dogs is unique and selfless. She really does feel like all of the boarders are her own. This work is her passion and I am so proud that she has been successful. Trust me when I say, I would bring my dogs to stay at Storm's Ahead anytime, any day.
Boarded here three years ago and a friend’s request for a recommendation prompted a comment. Janet went out of her way to help us get the required shots and documents. Also, our babies had a wonderful visit. Best kennel for a reasonable price. We will use them in the future!
Sharon and her staff excel in the care of each dog, irregardless of breed, behavior, temperament, special needs, or apprehension as a dog parent boarding your doggo for the first time. Fantastic facility!!
A small dog day care, but all the dogs looked SO happy, and my big guy had a great time and tried to climb into Sharon's lap...
Great little place! Took very good care of my doggo, he was in such a good mood when we picked him up. Very accommodating! I had to make very last minute arrangements, and it all worked out great. Love that they take any dog, regardless of breed or temperament.
Sharon takes amazing care of our dog Brodi. I would not hesitate to have her watch Brodi anytime. She has answered a few questions I had about feeding him raw food and it has helped out a lot.
Sharon and her crew take amazing care of our pups while we're away on business. They're excited to go there, and exhausted when they get back. Great people to work with!!!
We were greeted by the owner when we arrived and were given a tour of the facility. It's a smaller, private building on their own property that only houses 13 dogs, so we knew that our precious puppy would be getting the attention she needed. The facility was very clean and well-maintained, and the owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Best of all, when we picked up our dog after a week of her being there, she was clean and happy (not the normal dirty kennel smell and boarding stress.) I HIGHLY recommend DeBoer and will definitely be boarding my girly there again!
This is the best kennel around! They always take such good care of my dog. Sharon is so good with dogs, and I feel very comfortable when my dog stays here. I highly recommend Deboer Dog Boarding!
Our dogs stayed here while being trained by Sharon (K9 Specialist). They were very well taken care of, and we would use the service again if we ever need to board them. Wonderful service, and they clearly cared about our dogs.
Sharron knows what she is doing. Had my dog there for training, lasted about 6 weeks, when spring came around my pup started to revert back to her old overly excited self, went back to Sharron for a touch up to see if it was my errors leading to the dogs misbehavior, and she worked with us for about 45 min and made a couple corrections and my pup is back to being a good dog.
Pups seemed to like it on their first visit ..will return
