Homeowners and ex hands-on landlords with extensive animal care experience.
Dianne and Tim are exactly the kind of sitters who make TH a trusted and reliable community that we can turn to time and again. They were highly communicative, friendly, capable. They took care of our 7 month old Nora for a few days and were so flexible with the needs and quirks of a young dog in training. Our dog fell in love with them quickly and the daily photos proved it. They were conscientious from start to finish with Nora and left our home in immaculate condition. We came home after a long day of travel to a clean home and happy dog which is everything. We are so very grateful to Dianne and Tim!

For the animals, loving companion
Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.

Full of Love for Fauna and Flora
While it's nice to have someone at the house while the owners are away, the most important thing for pet owners is someone to care for their pets. If I could give Elvira 10 stars for loving my dog and giving her special attention, I would! Elvira also texted me with daily photos and comments about the "walkies" my dog enjoyed. Plus, Elvira took on the additional task of conveying my dog to the groomer, and afterwards dosing her with flea/tick medication and a heartworm pill. Elvira and my dog look forward to seeing each other again, probably next spring when Elvira thinks she'll be back in the area.

Pet friendly people looking for adventure
Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!

I am a Grateful Animal Sitter Traveler
Sarah was great with our Yorkie. He's an older guy and Sarah took him all over town with her during her adventures in Charlotte. She sent picture updates occasionally and kept me in the loop on packages received while I was gone. She is super friendly and has a nice disposition. Our Yorkie fell in love with her and would follow her all over the house if she left the room so she is AWESOME with dogs. He never does that. The most important thing I wanted from this experience is to know that my pup was well cared for and Sarah did just that. He got his medication every day and she made sure he ate his food even though he usually doesn't due to the stress of me being gone. The smile on his face during their adventure walks was priceless. She came in the night before I left so I could show her around the house and answer all her questions and meeting her before I left put my mind at ease. She left the house clean and left a sweet note of thanks upon her departure. Her gratitude was heartfelt. Overall Sarah was awesome for our Yorkie. The only reason Sarah didn't get 5 stars is that I've had other people sit for me that went above and beyond what she's done but in no way does that diminish Sarah at all. I can see why she has repeat clients all over.

Mature couple ready to help.
Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."

Cat lover, self-sufficient, & capable. Comfortable with special-needs cats.
Allison is the best pet/housesitter! Our boys love having her come visit because she takes such great care of them. We appreciate the check-ins and updates, along with pics and videos! They love that she brings treats with her! It's a win-win for all.
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters
I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Anna and Alan were absolutely brilliant. This was my first time using a sitter for our pup and from the start Anna was reassuring and put me at complete ease. They sent regular pictures while we were away and were incredibly easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend Anna and Alan for any pet sitting needs. Robyn
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

I'm so grateful that I found Maribeth and her team! We have had Lynn come to help take care of our cat Rose, and she always leaves such wonderful updates and notes for us, updating us on Rose and her visit! Thank you Lynn and Maribeth! <3<3 My mind is always at ease now whenever we have to go away. I highly, highly recommend using their services!
Maribeth and Cindi are the best of the best. This is my first time hiring a pet sitter for my sweet Chloe - and let me tell you - I was so hesitant to hire anyone that I almost considered not going on vacation. Cindi to the rescue. From the minute I met Cindi, I liked her. She has devoted so much her life to caring and loving on other people's pets - you could tell that she genuinely cares. Cindi sent me such comical write ups daily (twice a day) and a photo. I could tell Chloe was happy and enjoying her time with Cindi. My girl is passive, but social and she pretty much was in charge of her digs while allowing Cindi in to feed her and give her much craved pets and love. As a matter of fact, Chloe loved Cindi so much - she's currently on her picky-food-strike at the moment. I mentioned this to Cindi and her response was.... "Do you want me to go over there and feed her?" Hilarious. In all sincerity - If there were a 10 star rating - Maribeth and Cindi would both get 10 each. Thank you for loving on my girl and for making sure she was well cared for and not forgotten while I was away.
Maribeth and her team were life savers! She was able to squeeze us in last minute when we were suddenly without a pet sitter for an upcoming trip. We messaged her and she came the same day to meet us and our dogs. Her team took great care of our dogs, sending regular reports and photos. The dogs always looked so happy. It put us at ease knowing Maribeth and her team were taking such good care of our pets. We would absolutely use them again, the service was amazing. We highly recommend them. Thank you Maribeth and pup-e-cise.
We have been using Maribeths’ services for several years now. She has been great with all my dogs ( past and present). She truly cares for them. I especially like the email after a visit with an update. It gives me piece of mind, and the services they provide is worth it! Keep up the good work team!
As soon as I met Maribeth, I felt at ease leaving my cat for a week. She sent daily emails and pictures. It's so nice to have a pet sitter I can trust!!
Pup-e-size took care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation. They came in and fed them following our directions to the letter, gave them their treats and meds and even took care of the litter box. They sent us an update with pictures and I knew when they checked in and when they left. They came 2x a day for a full week. The kittens got to stay in their home environment and it was a fraction of the cost of boarding them! I would reccomend them again and again.
We have used them to care for our cats numerous times & have been so happy. Besides caring for our cats they send us daily reports & pictures which make us feel so much more comfortable. In addition they have helped with some mInor tasks such as bringing in the mail which again makes life easier. Highly recommend pup e cise
We used Pup-e-cise during my wedding weekend and were so impressed. The dog sitter left us adorable messages (with pictures!) about our girls and how they were doing. Not once did I feel any anxiety about them, and it was all thanks to Maribeth and her team. Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care of their beloved pets!
I would give them 10 Stars if I could! If you need a pet sitter or dog walker, these are the people you want! Maribeth hooked me up with the perfect match for my new puppy, it was personalized service at it's finest! My pup is truly loved and cared for while I am gone by Tom, and their flexibility is amazing. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate me and my schedule, which can be crazy. Can't say enough positive things about my experience, I tell them all the time they are "the best", and I truly mean it.
Pup-e-cise is amazing. The care that Val in particular provides to our elderly cat when we go away provides us with great peace of mind. The daily written updates (including a photo) helps us remain connected to our pet while we can't be there in person. The team at Pup-c-cise responds immediately to any issues that come up, and has shown great flexibility when travel plans get altered. Thanks for the tremendous care you provide each and every time!
We've boarded our boy, Enzo here for the first time a while back. He loved it! Charlotte took great care of him. She texted us a few pictures of him throughout the week. It was great to see him enjoying himself while we were out of the country enjoying ourselves! We're so glad we tried out Stay & Play - they've got themselves a forever customer.
We are very happy with how Our dog Daisy was taking care of. She was the same dog we left. She very happy, well fed, clean, with plenty of exercise and hugs, and in good health. Thank You 😊 …
I have been boarding my dogs to Stay and Play for a few years now and I can truly say that Charlotte welcomes them with open arms and my dogs look forward to staying over. They come home happy and well cared for. Food and medicines are properly administered and I always get great feedback from Charlotte about my dogs well-being. I've never had any worries while my dogs stay over. The grounds and facilities are immaculate and the setting is quiet, rural, and cheery. I absolutely recommend Stay and Play!
We love Stay & Play! They are absolutely amazing and when we’re on vacation it’s comforting to know that our girl is in good hands. Willow always comes back tired and happy 😊 We think of it as a vacation for her as well with all the playing/socializing she gets to do! …
They did a wonderful job with my six month old puppy who had never been kenneled before. My puppy was happy and healthy when I picked her up from her one week stay at Stay and Play.
Doesn't this picture (taken by Charlotte) say it all? We have been leaving our Grace at Stay & Play for day visits for a couple of months, to give her the chance to play with other dogs, and she has loved it. We were completely comfortable leaving her for an extended stay - we knew she would be taken well care of by people who love her- and that she would have a blast! She came home clean (I recommend the spa treatment too), tired, and so happy. Thank you, Charlotte! EDIT: November 2022 - Grace just had her second extended stay; she has also had a couple of overnights and we try to get her to daycare twice a week. Her tail starts wagging as soon as she realizes where we're going and it's still going strong when we pick her up. She loves the people and the other dogs - and so do we! 5 stars x infinity!!! EDIT: September 2023 - Grace could have traveled with us and stayed in strange places with strange people....or she could have a ten-day play date with her best friends (dog and human!), running around outside in perfect weather and soaking up love and attention. It's a no-brainer! She came home happy, sparkling clean, and tired. So much more than a place to board - Stay and Play is truly our girl's home away from home.
Thank you so much for taking good care of my boy Dax. I have to admit, I probably had as much separation anxiety as he did 😆. Thanks for being able to give him a bath and do his nails on short notice. I hope he was a good boy for you. We will be back again. …
Dogs are NEGLECTED! Please do not leave your beloved furry family member here, it is not a risk worth taking. I left my 2 furry loved ones at Stay & Play and when I picked them up, one looked as if she had been stranded in the woods alone all week. Her fur was in such a horrible scary state. I asked if she had been brushed all week, she said no. I asked why not, she is in her shedding season and needs to be brushed, as I had told her when I dropped them off, that I brush them every day, or 2 at the most. When I asked why they were not brushed upon pick up, she said that was extra. First, caring for a dog should include brushing as needed, where in this case it was and second, if there was a fee, she should have said, we can brush her but it is extra. She never said that or called me saying that she really needed to be brushed. My poor little dog suffered terribly all week with itching and no care, as a result her skin is flaking. I am crying as I look at her. That is not only neglectful but I feel it is abuse, my dog was needlessly forced to suffer because she could not properly care for her. She told me my dog was like that when I dropped her off, this is a complete lie and I encourage her to pull a still picture from her video camera, as that will prove this is false. Her website says she will take excellent care of your dog, that is deceptive advertising . It also appears she left their harnesses on all week as her hair and skin issues stop at the harness. I have pictures of this severe neglect that if anyone picked up their beloved pet in this condition could only cry and be so angry. If this CLEAR neglect is happening, I only dare to think of the possible other neglect and possible abuse that is occurring. I am filing a complaint with the animal authority overseeing boarding kennels to have this investigated so that no other dog has to suffer the clear and horrible neglect that my poor beloved dog did for a week, it is animal cruelty and should not be allowed to continue. STAY AWAY from here if you love your pet! If I am unable to upload pictures, please feel free to contact me and I can show you as I am sure the owner will respond saying it is untrue.
My 2 dogs were cared for for 9 days, over the holidays. Charlotte and her staff were fantastic! We were able to take a tour prior to their stay and felt very confident in leaving town. Everything is very organized, extremely clean, and the staff is very loving. My dogs appeared happy, stress free, and clean smelling when we returned.
OMG!!!! Our babies love Stay and Play, we sometimes think they love Charlotte more than they do us. We trust her and her staff with our dogs, we know when we drop them off they will be well taken care of.
I cannot say enough amazing things about the Henry Loves Betty team! Over the last 3-4 years, we’ve utilized just about every service they offer- daycare, training, dog walks, grooming, boarding and social club (a genius feature). Our little corgi has been going to Henry Loves Betty since she was about a year old and she feels safe, is always exceedingly well cared for and I know they are sneaking in training sessions because she is so polite, responsive and social. We’ve moved 2 hours away and still try to bring our dog for grooming, boarding and daycare a few times a month. This team truly cares deeply for your pet and with our busy schedules we our so grateful that they are responsive and really work to help us manage our schedules without compromising quality of care for our fur baby. Social club has helped make Peach a braver pup and explore more! I love seeing her play in puddles, and become less adverse to water and rain because she’s had outdoor adventure fun with other dogs. Also, the community of pet parents and owners are so wonderful! Doggy birthdays, celebrating wins and just saying hi and asking about your pets when they see them. I can’t rave enough about the rest of the crew. Thank you so so so much
Aislinn has been grooming our mini goldendoodle since he’s been a puppy and always does a fantastic job! She really cares and is so patient. Would highly recommend!
Love this place. They really care for your pups and enrich them. Cannot recommend daycare enough and their grooming is perfection. Our puppy comes back from daycare more obedient and tired.
I've trusted Aislinn to groom my two dogs for over two years. She handles them with love and care as if they were her own. They leave happy and clean, smelling yummy and adorned in a new bandana. I am able to drop them off at their appointment time and pick them up right after they are finished so I don't have to leave them all day.
Our dog has never left a groom happier! We have a excitable and sometimes nervous Bernese Mountain Dog and Aislinn does a great job with him every time.
Henry Loves Betty has been a lifesaver since getting my dog Keene as a puppy last March. I can’t imagine going through the potty training stage without the help of their puppy program and daily walks. Now that he’s a bit older, I love sending him to daycare or social club to help keep him entertained and well socialized. They always give such thorough updates and I love getting pictures of Keene while I’m at work. I was SO happy to hear when they started offering dog grooming. Being that Keene is a doodle, I knew I’d need to find a trustworthy and reliable groomer for him to see regularly. Keene started first with a few puppy trims to get him comfortable with being groomed and handled, and then transitioned into getting full, adult cuts. My favorite thing about their grooming is that it’s only Aislinn and your dog there when they’re getting groomed. This not only allows for less distractions that could overwhelmed an uncomfortable dog, but means that Aislinn’s full attention is on your dog. Keene and I have both had such positive experiences with her grooming—with him being so excited to see her and “hangout”, and me always being impressed with how great he looks after. Overall, the whole staff is phenomenal at HLB! They are all so knowledgeable and truly treat your dog with so much love. If you’re considering using any of HLB’s services, I highly recommend—you will not be disappointed!!
Nothing but wonderful praise for Paula and the loving care and attention she always gives to Zoey when she’s boarding! I used to worry about Zoey being stuck in a kennel for days on end with no exercise, love and attention. Not anymore! I get photos and updates every day and in every picture, my pup is smiling and living her best life! Hands down, THE BEST PLACE for boarding! Thank you Paula ❤️
We bring our dog all the way from Saratoga to get groomed by Aislinn. No matter the condition of his hair, she always has him looking perfect and exactly the way we want it every single time, all in a very timely manner! I will never bring my dog anywhere else as long as I live around here and she is still grooming! The shop is in a perfect location. Although being in the heart of Troy, there is never any issue with parking. There are plenty of places to eat, relax, shop, etc all in walking distance while your dog is getting groomed. If you’re in need of a groomer, especially if they are some sort of doodle, this is the spot!
We recently moved to Troy and needed drop-in service for our cats. Henry Loves Betty is the best local choice for us. The prices are about the same as private sitters, but the service is more professional. It's also reassuring to know that if a sitter has an emergency and can't make it, they will find someone who can. The sitter was excellent. We received an update with photos every visit. I will use them again.
This is the best doggy daycare place ever. We love the owner and all the staff so much. They truly treat all the pups with love and care, and go above and beyond on everything! The daycare facility is always well kept and clean. Our dog loves going to daycare so much that when we are going towards the direction of Troy she starts being impatient. They post videos and photos of the pack playing almost daily on their Instagram story which is super cute and amazing. They also offer boarding service that's very reasonably priced. We were worried about boarding our dog at first because she had bad experiences with boarding before, but she absolutely loves boarding with HLB. Paula would even pick up our dog to board and drop her off which is super convenient for us. We receive daily updates and photos of her as well. We've recommended Henry loves Betty to many people because this is a truly wonderful place for dogs to hang out with each other.
Mattie is very caring, knowledgeable and attentive! Our two golden retrievers love her and enjoy when she comes to care for them. It’s obvious how much she enjoys what she does. She’s passionate and natural at it. We’ve enjoyed working with her for over three years now. Highly recommended:)
