Pet Sitters in Swartz Corner

We love taking our dog here for daycare once a week and for extended boarding. She gets excited every time we roll up to the building. She comes home tired and happy. We like that they take the dogs out in shifts because it gives her some time to relax. We took a different dog to a facility that made you pay more to give them a break from playing. We didn’t and she was injured from playing too much and too hard. The price also can’t be beat, especially if you pay for 30 daycare visits upfront.

We have been taking our dog, Lola to Lakeshore for daycare and boarding for over a year now. Lola clearly loves the staff and they all treat her so well. She doesn't want to leave some days when we pick her up. We have nothing but good things to say about the crew at Lakeshore.

Excellent care, the staff is amazing and obviously love what they do. I've unfortunately had some health issues and Lake Shore helped with Augustus-Gus through my numerous appointments and hospital stay. At drop off he is always so excited and comes home ready to relax a bit. I love that the staff all know his name and welcome him. This facility is clean and well managed.

My first time getting my dog groomed here! Kaylee did such an amazing job and was so kind! Some before and after pictures. My dog went from a scraggly mop to a handsome clean cut boy! If you're looking for a groomer or boarding service I definitely suggest going here!

Amazing kennel very clean and organized. I take my dog there for daycare and he always comes home happy and exhausted 10/10 recommend for any doggy parents who need a little break here and there.

We love Lake Shore Boarding! Our dog gets so excited when we tell her she is going to “Doggie Daycare”!!!

Our dog loves Lake Shore! He has so much fun playing with other dogs and he is always tired and happy when we come to get him! They do a great job and clearly they love what they do.

I love the staff and so does my reactive dog. Every time I go to pick him up all the staff come to say bye to him and he never wants to leave. The place can be quite loud but my dog seems to do very well with the staff. My only gripe is that it’s nearly impossible to reach anyone by phone. I recently tried more than a half dozen times per day for over 2 weeks before I finally reached someone and I left 3 or 4 voicemails that went unreturned. I currently can’t get ahold of anyone either nor get voicemails returned. Up until a year or 2 ago I never had any issues with either.

Traditionally, we've always washed and groomed our dogs ourselves. However, we decided we wanted to try and get our old senior dog spruced up for my daughter who was coming to town. After looking around, we decided to take him to Lake Shore grooming because the Lake Shore veterinary service has always treated us well. This was an absolute super place with attentive staff. My rough collie has never looked so good! And they are tough dogs to groom with their double coats. He was a bit worse for wear with post-covid and winter coat issues. I was worried it would be too much for the groomer to deal with but she reassured me it was something she could handle and she did an absolute wonder with him! When we picked him up, our senior dog (with sensitive skin to brush) was shockingly nonplussed about being there for 6 hours. He was perfectly happy with how they treated him. They took their time with him, letting him have plenty of breaks. So happy, Champ has his new grooming place going forward!

My dog has behaviors and no family would watch him while I had surgery. I called Lakeshore boarding, and they did an amazing job! They had him playing with other dogs and socializing with staff. They gave him his medication daily and clipped his nails as requested. They even invited him back! Lakeshore Boarding is AMAZING!!!

Our senior dog had contracted kennel cough at a local boarding facility so we looked at alternatives for our vacation two years ago for mine and my brothers mellow senior doggies. Christina took excellent care of them both with regular updates and pictures. Both the dogs and the humans had a much better experience. Unfortunately our dog had passed this year, but we just recently adopted a two year old border collie mix and were lucky enough for Christina to be available to watch him while we were on vacation. He initially exhibited a lot of separation anxiety, but Christina and her family were able to love him through it. Christina takes as good (or better) care of my baby as I do. I'm super appreciative of the communication and pictures as it made my vacation even more enjoyable. You won't find anyone who provides better care for you fur baby. The pictures are only a few that Christina shared while pet sitting.

I'm so thankful I came across Christina to take such great care of my fur baby while I was away. My girl was given so much love and care, and the peace of mind that your dog is in great hands is PRICELESS. Christina also sends pics and updates daily. Highly recommend 👍 …

We highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter. She does an amazing job caring for our fur babies and it took no time for her to win over our picky cats. She sends us photos and videos daily so we can see how they are doing while we are away, which I love. She also handles our house-sitting needs — and all for a very reasonable price! We have had some bad experiences with other sitters in the past, but never with Christina - our cats are always happy and settled when we get home. That says a lot about their care.

My dog has never been more excited to go to a pet sitting service. We have done both doggie daycare and boarding with Christina. She is careful to follow your pet’s instructions and even gives my dog a bath for longer stays. Can’t say enough good things about Christina’s pet service.

I've been extremely fortunate to have found Christina's Pet Sitting! Christina and her family have been a second family to my girls (my dogs), Kami and June. When I have to travel, it is so relieving to be taking my puppies to stay with a wonderful family with whom my dogs love to spend time. During their stay at Christina's, my dogs get an in-home experience very similar to what they have when at home, receiving a ton of love and attention nearly all day long! And Christina sends photos to me of what they are doing throughout the time they are with her. Christina's is a very positive experience for my puppies, exhibited by vastly different behavioral responses than those following a kennel stay. I recommend Christina's Pet Sitting to all dog owners who love their dogs without end!💞

We were very happy with Christina's service and highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Christina was able to accommodate us on short notice for 4th of July weekend. She took great care of our three critters and even sent pictures throughout the weekend. We appreciated that our animals could stay home where they're comfortable too. Thank you Christina!

I went on vacation for two weeks and Christina did the pet sitting while I was away. it was the first time I had use Christina and she was tentative and gave me comfort that my two cats would be taken care of. While I was away she text me daily updates along with pics of boys in how they were doing. Giving me comfort where I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were be taken care. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting and she will be mine pet sitter now on. It is very evident that she loves animals and has a passion in what she does. She did a superb job for me and 5 star service!

Christina does an amazing job taking care of our kitties! We had two separate occasions last summer of around a week and a half a time away that she was able to check on our fur babies! We always got great pictures and updates. She did an awesome job keeping everything clean, bringing in the mail, watering plants, and even setting out our garbage cans! She was even available to check in on them for a few short days while I was having surgery! Thanks Christina!

Christina has been pet sitting for us for about a year. SHE IS WONDERFUL!!! Our kitties like her and she's always keeping us updated with texts, pictures, and videos on how our pets are doing. Hopefully, she will be around for a very long time so we'll always have someone responsible to take care of our kitties. I can't thank her enough for what she does for our family! (Thank you again, Christina!!!)

Christina is AMAZING! I found her last minute and she was able to take care of our dog for a few days while we were out on a trip. I liked that she would send us daily updates on our dog with pictures! Hands down preferred having our dog in her own space versus being boarded in a kennel. Christina not only did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog, but she also was kind enough to bring our trash cans up from the curb and bring in our mail. Just little things like that is huge and definitely appreciated! Will be using her in the future and will definitely recommend her to others! 😊

Puppy Love Suites is awesome! My mini poodles loved the stay there! I received photographs and messages throughout their stay keeping me updated. Rebecca is great and my dogs loved her!

Rebecca was awesome to work with and took fantastic care of my boy. We had been skeptical due to an experience a few years ago. When I heard there was new ownership, I decided to check it out. Rebecca welcomed us in for a tour of the facility and shared how they meet the needs of each boarder. My boy has lots of energy, and Rebecca kept her promise to give him plenty of play time each day. She sent me pictures and videos. The kennels are clean, spacious, and temperature controlled for the comfort of the boarders. I highly recommend Puppy Love Suites to keep your pups happy and healthy while you are away!

We recently had to board our 2 babies Jake and Oliver. Rebecca was not only professional she was very personable and amazing with loving on our babies while we were away! We got text updates and she sent us pictures of our babies! The suites and play areas are clean and well kept! We won’t take our boys anywhere else! I love that she actually sits with the boys and loves on them…. They have no idea they are not lap dog size and love to snuggle! Her rates are reasonable and no extra fees for this or that. The spaces are so big and spacious! Thank you so much Rebecca! So glad we found you!

I haven't boarded with puppy love suites yet, but absolutely will when the time comes. The suites are so clean and spacious and a LOT of effort and care goes into organizing and quality of life for dogs here. Rebecca cares about safety and carefully observes every little detail about each dog and what their individual needs might be AND then compensates for that.

Rebecca at Puppy Love Suites is absolutely AMAZING! Rebecca and her husband took over ownership a few years ago…and I can now say she and the entire care team has literally become an extension of our entire family. My parents have 2 dogs, and my own family has two dogs..with frequent family vacations, we have and always can depend upon Rebecca to go above and beyond to coordinate around our schedules to help care for our fur babies while we are out of town…Even last minute, Rebecca will try her best to make it work…needing to extend your pups stay…just keep in communication and she is quick to respond and help if she can! She is responsive and a great communicator who makes sure to always give you and your family updates which includes pictures and even videos with her spending her own time individually with each pup or family of pups..Rebecca goes the extra step with communication so you can rest easy and just enjoy your time away knowing your fur babies are safe and comfortable. The kennels are modern, clean, and well cared for with separate quarters for families dogs who are able to stay together, and eliminating the need to worry about other dog personalities clashing with yours. Each enclosure has access to outside areas, and inside the pups are either in air conditioned or heated facilities depending on the season. Bring beds and blankets to ensure they are comfy, but should you forget..Rebecca will make sure they feel at home. We have never worried that our girls are just stuck inside as we know they are given lots of love and attention in our absence..I loved being in Mexico and receiving a video of Rebecca helping our little Chi-Pom figure out the doggie door to access the outside area and cheered her on as she finally accomplished pushing through and finding a whole other space to explore! Rebecca and team ensure all pups have plenty of opportunity to be outside in the open areas to go about running around freely and having a blast with their friends and the caregivers! Honestly, we will never ever go any place other than Puppy Love Suites. Rebecca is just everything you could hope for when finding a caregiver for your babes!

I was very uncertain when I showed up that this was at a private residence and the gentleman that took my dogs in wasn’t very knowledgeable and didn’t ask for any directions on how I take care of my pets. But during the week I would call and check on them and they also called me to tell me that they were doing well so I was very reassured. Upon picking them up I knew they were well taken care of and had a great time there. I will definitely take them there again when needed.

my dog wasn’t fed for 4 days, when dropped off we left a full container of food. when picking the dog up the container was still full and hadn’t moved from the spot it was placed upon arrival. when he was picked up his kennel and dog bed were dirty along with my dog himself. when we stated we were there to pick up our dog they weren’t even sure what dog it was. he also is missing small patches of hair and all they had to say was “he did great this weekend”.

Our two golden retriever dogs have been visiting the Suites for several years now. They love spending time with Mary and her gorgeous poodles, whether it be only for the day or for an extended visit while mom and dad go see grandkids. Mary is quite good with several dogs together, she is the alpha in a very nice way. In fact our dogs behave better at home after being at her house. I think they see Mary and her fun family (both two legged and four legged) as their extended family. They are always so excited to go spend time there. Once my husband had to almost bribe our male dog to come home with him after day care, he likes her little boys and all the other interesting dogs. Mary is an experienced groomer as well who doesn't traumatize the dogs in the process. Her paw trimming is by far the best I've seen. We feel lucky to have such a good place with great people who care for our four legged children when we can't. And I must mention the air conditioned/heated kennels are quite nice! SH

I'm not one to take the time to write a review normally but I am making an exception for Puppy Love Suites . We have used this kennel MANY times and have had nothing but good experiences. The owner really takes the time to visit and check on our dogs whenever we're out of town. She is very knowledgeable on dogs and when our beloved family dog was refusing to eat she even to the time to cook eggs and chicken for him. I am always happy and very impressed with the level of love and care Puppy Love Suites has provided for our dogs!!! I would give them 6 stars if I could!!!!!

I have boarded here a few times, once and awhile when my dogs need groomed or need their nails cut I bring them to puppy love. I have always left feeling like I would never board my dogs anywhere else in Idaho. Mary has a nice property where I know my pets are safe and at home while I'm off doing my thing. She's currently watching my Husky while I'm in the middle of a move and I know he is well taken care of! Highly recommend boarding with Puppy Love Suites.

This was our first time boarding our pup and we are SOOOOO happy! They took amazing care of our boy Draco! Fast responses, amazing facilities, and most importantly Annie and Dave are so kind! We can’t wait to have Draco stay with them in the future. 100000% recommend!

Annie and Dave are amazing! We went out of town for a week and I felt at peace knowing that our cat was being well taken care of. They post updates to their Facebook, so I was able to check in! They are super responsive to text, and their prices are very reasonable. I knew they had a magic touch when they were able to get our super shy cat to come out of her crate and bond with them. I 100% recommend!

Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding is like a home away from home for our dog. Annie and Dave are reliable, responsive, and caring towards the pet owners and the pets. While we are away on vacation we have great peace of mind knowing that our dog is well taken care of. We had a last minute change of plans on our last vacation, that lengthened our trip by two days. Annie and Dave were able to care for our dog for the extra days, no questions asked, which was amazing. We love Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding for our fur baby and we highly recommend them!

Annie and Dave watched our dog Bella over Christmas! We loved all the photo updates on Facebook. Our experience with them was amazing and definitely will be going back.

I work from home so my one year old pups are with me day and night. When my stepdaughter announced she was getting married almost 8000 miles away, my anxiety set in about where to take my dogs. I found Annie and Dave and found them to be exactly what I was looking for so they wouldn’t be crated and left alone all day! I was able to enjoy our time away with no stress and see pics of them enjoying playing with all the other dogs as well as the price being very reasonable for 3 dogs. I also appreciate that they have everything for them so you aren’t lugging a ton of stuff with you, just dogs, leashes, and food! Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back when we travel again (if Dave allows my terrible twosome beagles to come back 😂). Pic of the aftermath of 10 days at “summer camp”

Annie & Dave are the best. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy Kiki with anyone because she has always been with me since she was like 8 weeks old. We had to travel out of state for a week and this was her first time being away from home for a while. When we did a meet and greet with Annie and Dave, Kiki warmed up to Dave right away. The day I had to drop her off, I took her blanket and favorite toy, Dave said she wouldn't need them. He was so right, so did so well being somewhere different. I was so happy. I would totally recommend them if you need your best friend taken care of while you have to be away. Thank you for everything.

Our 5 month old puppy stayed there for 2 nights. This was the first time we left our dog in the care of someone else and we were very happy with the care he received. We were able to see pics of him at play, while we were out of town. We will definitely use Annie and Dave's again!

Doesn’t return calls/voicemails. Called to discuss boarding for my two dogs as a new resident, left message, and never heard back from them. Update: if I didn’t have the correct number, I couldn’t have left voicemail for “Annie and Dave’s pet boarding.”

Annie & Dave were fantastic to deal with. They took great care of Gracie and sent us pictures during our trip. I highly recommend them.

Great couple highly recommended. They sent us pictures and videos daily as requested. We appreciated it so much and already booked their next stay in 6 weeks. Thank you!

We just picked up our two dogs after a five day stay at Valhalla kennels. They were happy and healthy and clean. The owner was very accommodating to our schedule for drop off and pickup. We have had bad experiences in the past with other kennels, it was a great relief to find someone so caring. We won’t be taking them anywhere else.

We were nervous to leave our fur baby, and had not ever boarded him before. We loved the set up K9 kennels had and the way they operate. They made us feel comfortable and easy about leaving town. They sent daily picture updates and our pup looked happy and content and was having fun during play time. They have great communication and return messages very promptly. Very easy to deal with and will recommend other to use them and we will use them again in the future. Great experience. Thank You

Long story short. Left my dog for an overnight stay for a total of 26 hours. The facility is nice and they have multiple kennels with access to small outdoor area for each individual kennel. They also have 2 or so temporary kennels with no outdoor access. When dropping off my dog I left him pre bagged food, a bed, and toys to keep him entertained while staying there. The night he stayed we received pics of him being walked around grass area as they said they would for his 20 minute play time. The next morning when I picked him up the owners were not home even though it was confirmed through email when I’d be picking him up. Some gentleman I never met drove up with no idea I was picking up my dog. He was nice enough to let me in and I found my dog still in the temporary kennel and had peed all over himself and his bed. The toys I left for him still in the bag I brought them in and his water bowl empty. My dog shivering and terrified. I use other kennels previously and my dog loved it. My dog was left without outdoor access to even use the bathroom for all but 20 minutes in a 26hour period, I’m not a lawyer but that seems like animal abuse to me.

Kevin and Allie do such a great job. Our 2 Labs are safe and clean there. We feel very comfortable leaving our dogs there. Very nice facility and well maintained. We take the dogs there multiple times per year.

My husband and I had never used a boarding facility before, which meant we were very nervous. Our young dog received wonderful care, lots of love and patience. Very clean kennels. Kevin and Allie are great. Highly recommend.

They were so great and easy to work with! They kept great care of our puppy while we were away and sent us pictures and videos of her as well. Would highly recommend!

This was my first time boarding ever. I was turned away from another kennel and they recommended Valhalla K9 Kennels. I was nervous because I have a three year old husky who can be food aggressive and territorial.... and then I had a six month old husky puppy. They were only there for a few days but I felt they were super well taken care of. Huskies are notorious for escaping so a lot of kennels will not take them. They had room to run every day in came back home happy and healthy. I can't thank them enough. We will definitely take our dogs back, thank you guys!

We boarded our GSD at Valhalla Kennels and are very impressed with owners Kevin and Allie and their facility. You can tell they love dogs and are very knowledgeable about them. This is the only place I will bring our boy Blu to board. I know he will be well looked after.

We have never boarded our fur babies before and it was a bit worrying for us but the extremely nice people over at valhalla k9 gave us comfort and sent us constant photos and updates of our pups. The communication was always there and we felt like our dogs were in great hands. Would definitely use them again in the future and our dogs yogi and kiwi say thank you for taking care of us.

Boarded our dog Scout back in February with Valhalla and was very happy with their facility and service. Scout was better behaved when picked him up than when we dropped him off! Thank you for taking good care of him for us!

Last year I had knee surgery and needed to find a way to tucker out my 1 year old energetic pup while I was in recovery. We were thinking about doing doggy day care, but the environment was stressful for him so he didn't play much and didn't get very much energy out. Chris & his services were amazingly helpful. Booking online through the website was super convenient and easy. After the initial consultation we had Chris take Mo out 4 or 5 times for hikes in the foothills. He came to the house to pick him up, sent GPS trail data so we can see where they went, sent photos, and dropped off a very tired and happy pup. Thanks Chris for being a part of my recovery team, your work was very helpful.

We've only been using Zen for about a month, but the services have been outstanding. Our dog fell in love with Chris immediately. When he arrives for her walks, she forgets who we are and races to be with him. And the photo updates are very reassuring. So glad we found Zen.

Chris with Zen Pet Cares is amazing! He truly is the dog whisperer. Chris is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and keeps pet health and safety his #1 priority. It is wonderful the services that Chris provides. Like when you have a family emergency and don't know what to do with your pets, which can add additional stress to the situation, Chris is there to help! Thank you Chris!

We simply cannot say enough positive things about our now 6+ years of working with Chris @ Zen. Chris is extremely friendly, professional and above all truly demonstrates love, care and appreciation for our dog. We enjoy the outing/route summaries he sends including pictures on their many walks. My wife and I always joke that our dog loves spending time with Chris moreso than with us.....but it's likely not a joke at all. We highly, highly recommend Zen.

Zen Pet Care Services offers the best dog walking in Boise let alone Idaho. Chris and his team of professionals provide exceptional care and love for every dog they walk. 5/5 stars, would recommend to anyone who loves their furry friend.

Chris is an amazing guy. He takes excellent care of his clients. The dogs always seem happy when he drops them off, due to the love and kindness he shows the dogs.

Zen Pet Care is the BEST!! You won’t meet a company that cares for your animals more than them. My two dogs love going on adventures with them and go crazy when they see the van pull up, which makes me so happy. Safe, kind, considerate….😁 …

Chris is an amazing guy he takes good care of all of his clients. The dogs are very happy due to the kindness and love he show to the dogs

They've watched my dog over the past two years. I trust them, and have a high degree of comfort with them. They pick him up in the morning and bring him back in the afternoon safe and clean.

Thanks for your review Gregory Fitzmaurice. We are so happy that you had a good experience with us.

Honestly, these people love working with dogs. I've never met a team member there who wasn't smiling and concerned about my fur children. Facility is huge, very clean, and well staffed. They administer my pup's meds reliably while I'm away, and accommodate my special requests for feeding schedule and adding 2 beds to their dog cottage, etc. I feel very comfortable and confident having them care for my babies. I use boarding, daycare, and grooming services at Doodle Dog. Recommend all! *pic of my 2 tough customers attached.

The dogs have a lot of fun playing at daycare. The staff goes way above and beyond to take great care of the dogs. The webcams offer a fun and reassuring way to see the dogs enjoying their time at Doodle Dog.

The Ladies were great with my 15yr old "Ratcha" Speck, he's goofy & nearly blind, but gets along with people & other annimals (dogs) & (cats) too!!! The staff, were nice & very accomodating. Speck had his own private room, perfect for an older dog. He Got plenty of playtime, interraction with other dogs I'm sure. This trip was a must have for me, seeing my best friend of 42yrs, was the trip I needed to take, unfortunately I couldn't take Speck on the plane, due to his size. So I definetly wanted him safe & happy & well-cared for, while I was away Thank you to the "Entire" staff at Doodle Dogs.....you really helped out when I was in a pinch 🐶 Speck thanks you too!!!....woof!, bark! bark!..heh heh heh

We brought in our yorkie for her initial meet and greet and while I was super nervous at first, I'm so grateful for the care they gave her while she was there for half a day! Having the ability to watch the live feed was awesome! I feel like every time I checked, she was being cuddled by an employee 🥰 I definitely feel better about boarding her in the future! She was sooo happy and tired when I picked her up!

**Attention current & future customers** Though it's not mentioned, listed, or pictured anywhere on their website, your dog may be put in a kennel, not a cottage you think you booked and are paying for! After a recent stay, while waiting for our dog to be brought out, an employee told us our dog had chewed up her bed we brought for her, and nibbled/licked her front paw raw to the point she was limping pretty bad. After asking what was going on, and why they never tried contacting us about her paw/limping, we discovered she had been staying in a kennel. After asking why she was in a kennel, not a cottage like we booked and thought we were getting, the employee told us they were really busy over the weekend, and utilize kennels if they don’t have enough cottages. Our dog was a rescue, and spent several months in a kennel before we adopted her. No wonder she was stressed. At no point during making the reservation, did anyone tell us our dog may be put in a kennel and not a cottage. The employee then pulled up our account on the computer, and told us there’s a note from our dogs first stay back in 2021 (She was 2 and it was her first time ever being boarded). The note said our dog had been chewing at the rubber door sweep in her cottage, so she was put in a kennel. Here we are 3 years later, and this was the first time we were informed of this. Every previous stay, we were told “she did great” and “was such a sweetheart”, etc. My wife would frequently check in on her via the live camera feeds on their website, and at no point were these kennels ever seen. After getting our dog home and tending to her paw, I looked at the emailed receipt from this stay, and saw a “wheeled kennel” listed for the charges, not a cottage. We then went back to the emailed receipts from all of her previous stays, and discovered that every previous stay, listed a “wheeled kennel”, not a cottage. They charged us the same amount for the kennel, as they do for the cottage. We never reviewed our previous receipts, because we knew how much the cottage and stay would cost, so we had no reason to question the charges during check-out. Not once while booking any of our past reservations, did Doodle Dog mention or confirm our dog would be in a kennel, not a cottage. And that they charge the same rate. We emailed Doodle Dog on Monday afternoon, requesting a response from a manager or the owner. We received an emailed response from a manager on Monday evening, as well as a follow up phone call Tuesday morning. The manager apologized for the lack of communication and said they changed ownership, management, and staff since the 2021 event. In my opinion, that’s a poor easy excuse. She also said they try to be transparent….. Transparency would be mentioning/picturing these kennels on their website. Transparency would be telling your customers that their dog may be in a kennel and not a cottage, when you’re busy. Transparency would be informing your customers that you charge the same amount for kennels, as you do for cottages. Transparency would be informing the customers who were existing during previous ownership/management, that it had changed. Not once has a staff member discussed previous stays, any behavioral problems that may have happened, or that our dog was still being put in a kennel, 3 years later. The manager said they show the kennels to all their customers during their tours. I can't confirm this, but find it strange that these kennels aren't mentioned or pictured anywhere on their website, nor are they visible on any of the live video feeds. Before boarding our dog for the first time in 2021, we took a tour of the building and accommodations. We were never told about or saw any of these kennels. Every time we brought our dog in for a stay, everything looked the same from what we could see through the windows in the lobby. Had we been informed of the ownership/management change, we absolutely would have requested another tour to see what may have changed. We are no longer Doodle Dog customers.

Bear loves Doodle Dog and Doodle Dog loves Bear! He loves his play days there and is always well taken care of when we leave him there for extended periods.

Front office and all the gals are wonderful! Brooke, my groomer, is so kind and you can tell she loves my dogs. Brooke is a great groomer!

Love the staff, good pricing and easy drop off/pick up! Nash gets very excited for school and has learned how to husky talk with his friends. Love this place!!

Been taking my pup there for a while now and not only is it a great place with plenty of room for dogs to be dogs but the staff there is top notch. This was an easy five star

I was so nervous to leave my dog for two weeks but when I picked her up she practically didn’t want to go home! I’m so happy she was around so many people who care for animals as much as I care about my clover❤️

I was on the verge of a panic attack even THINKING about leaving my Bowie. I searched kennels and sitters and finally decided home was the better option. I reached out to The Pet Sitter of Boise about a month prior to my vacation was contacted right away by Shannon. When I was finally able to touch base with her she was sweet and made me feel comfortable right away with setting up our Meet & Greet. I then spoke with Julie regarding an official date to meet Mary, Bowie's sitter. Mary is amazing! She stopped by about a week before my trip out of town and was able to meet and spend a little time with Bow. I'm sure she could tell my nerves were shot just being so worried about leaving him home alone. From the moment I flew out of town (even before her first visit), Mary was in contact and emailed to let me know she couldn't wait to visit with Bowie. Every single day I was gone, I received a nice message about how he was doing, what their visit was like, and a TON of photos of him being lovey and playing with Mary. I was able to relax on my trip and stop worrying about my boy in a way I never would have had I not chosen The Pet Sitter of Boise. My boy was in excellent hands which was fully understood by his demeanor when I arrived home. He wasn't even upset with me. We just jumped right back into our normal routine. I will never go ANYWHERE else for Bowie's support human! This makes the idea of leaving town so much less stressful. Thank you, thank you, thank you Shannon, Julie, most of all Mary, and the entire team at The Pet Sitter of Boise! You helped me enjoy a wonderful trip with little to no guilt or worry! You've got my furbaby for life!!

This is the most reliable, sweetest group of pet lovers/caretakers that you will ever meet. Julie leads a crew that is unsurpassed. We recently left for the holidays and the Petsitters went way behind the call of duty to take care of a problem encountered with one of our pets. We have been to parties in the neighborhood and learned that many of us our clients of Petsitters of Boise and everyone speaks words of praise for the whole group. We are so lucky to have them.....and so are the fur babies.

Julie and her team are amazing! The photos and updates they send throughout the day are so comforting when you have to leave your pets at home. It brings peace of mind that your furry, feathered, and finned family members are all in good hands. The services they offer are fantastic, and the sitters are all so good with pets. The care and compassion they show is exceptional. Your pets will be grateful that you chose The Pet Sitter of Boise!

Absolutely love the Pet Sitter of Boise! They are very responsive and reliable, scheduling visits quickly and always showing up and spending a good amount of time with my pets. If you schedule 30 minutes, they are there the whole time so I know my cats have gotten good love and attention and playtime. They send lots of photos and detailed summaries of the visits. We absolutely love Leslie - the cats adore her and wait at the door for her at her regular visit time even after we are home! Also appreciate that they always have a backup if our regular sitter is unavailable, we’ve had a great experience with everyone and highly recommend. Thanks for being a great help to us and enabling us to travel with great care for our fur-kids!!

The team at The Pet Sitter of Boise is a top-notch team. They take tremendous care of my three Pitbulls and give them all the love they need when I’m not at home. I highly recommend The Pet Sitter of Boise to take care of my three fur children when I’m not able to.

Great experience! Love how good the pictures were and how often they sent pictures of our pets to us! Highly recommend them for your pets needs!

I don’t think I could trust anyone more with my pets than Julie and her team. The Pet Sitter of Boise has been my go to since 2015. When I first called on them, I had an aging cat that needed extra attention and medication administered. They did a phenomenal job with his special needs. Once our return home was delayed several days and we had no phone service, The Pet Sitter made sure our pets were taken care of and they were in touch with our emergency contact when they couldn’t reach us. I love their app and regular updates with pictures of my pets having a great time. The Pet sitter has been there to help take care of our dog and cats like their own. These are pet people. I love having peace of mind knowing my pets are well taken care of while I am away.

Pet Sitter of Boise faithfully took care of my dog for me for a number of years. It was great to have my dog at home during our trips where the pet sitters came in to take him on his walks in the morning and evening. They did a great job; I had total peace of mind!

Julie and her team of pet sitters are awesome. It's nice knowing that our dogs are being well cared for. They provide many photos and updates on the activities of each visit. I strongly recommend them.

Absolutely best service ever. We have used the Pet Sitter of Boise for years now, and our 3 kitties are always well cared for. I used to worry every time I left town, but now I never have to worry! Every caretaker we have had experience with has been wonderful- we recieve daily updates with photos which we always look forward to reading. Dava has been flexible with our schedule and informative of what's going on while we are away. She even vacuumed! So glad we found this service and we will never use anything else! Thank you so much, Pet Sitter of Boise!

Escape the crate was a great find for me. I needed several nights of boarding for my two small dogs and Escape the Crate was accommodating and professional in helping me arrange it over the phone. I was especially impressed that I was offered a tour of the facilities when I arrived. I’ve boarded dogs in various places for 25 years and that was first time any facility wanted to show me where my dogs would be spending their time. I felt confident leaving them there and they were happy and calm when I picked them up. I didn’t get to watch them on the group daycare camera because I was remote camping (no signal), but I love that Escape had it available. Highly recommend.

My 2 German shepherds love going to Escape to see their dog and human buddies. Logan is going daily since he was a puppy for now almost 5 years, Koda almost 2 years.

Our 11 mo. Old Siberian Husky needed to learn to be around other dogs and people. Plus just taking her for a walk, wasn't giving her enough exercise. The staff is awesome, they love their job and it shows. Plus they have a app, so you can watch your dog.

We’ve been to several doggy daycare facilities over the years with our dogs but Escape the Crate really stands out. Haley and Jesse have been wonderful- answering questions and helping ensure that our energetic rescue beagle is able to play, socialize and run out her puppy energy in a clean and safe environment. Lulu now has regular playtime with other similarly energetic dogs and is confident and better socialized. And when I have an extra busy day and can’t devote as much time to her play and exercise, I know we can visit Escape the Crate where she’ll have much more fun than waiting for my meeting to end. And lastly, I love that they’re easy to schedule and have cameras so I can watch her antics during the day. Thank you to our friends at Escape the Crate!

Our pup Winter says she's having the time of her life at the Boise Escape the Crate. Staff have been great. Thanks for everything, Jessie! Below photo is after a day at daycare.

We’ve been coming here for years and it has always been a great experience. My dog is very high anxiety but everyone at Escape the Crate has done a great job of helping build out her confidence.

We love this place for our baby Gunner. He is happy when we drop him off and gets to play with his friends! The staff is amazing and Truly dog lovers and Hailey the office manager is so professional, organized and our sweet boy just loves her!

Our dog Jameson absolutely LOVES going to Escape the Crate! She gets so excited when we even mention "daycare" The staff takes excellent care of her while we're working. I would highly recommend Escape the Crate! Emma is fantastic!

Highly recommend! I've been taking my GSP, Buddy, to Escape Canine Retreat & Spa for 6 months now and he LOVES it! Not only do they continuously interact with the dogs but they also train them during their stay. I can actually focus while I'm at work knowing he's having fun, getting exercise, socializing, and being trained throughout the day! They also provide online web cameras incase you'd like to check in on all the fun they're having.

Great place to bring your pet. Prices justified because you get amazing service, your pet is kept safe, your pet will have fun, and the place is kept clean. The staff takes special care making sure to prevent fights before they get anywhere close to happening by stopping bad behavior. They do not allow dogs who are not neutered so that helps prevent problems. The cameras a great for seeing how your dog is doing, although the Elisa location may need to get some more cameras or adjust the ones they currently have. Overall, I highly recommend this place for boarding and for daycare.

I have a fairly reactive dog that has had nightmarish experiences with boarding. The staff at Camp Bow Wow Meridian were extremely professional and pleasant. They appropriately acclimated her to the environment during our interview and gave in depth details as to how dogs are cared for. There is constant monitoring of all dogs in both indoor and outdoor yards. My dog had never been happier. Both the facility and staff are top notch. Highly recommend. You won’t find a better place. Sammy thanks all of you!

I was completely satisfied with the experience my dog, Cooper, had at your doggy daycare. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic, and I couldn't be more pleased. Every staff member I encountered was professional, friendly, and clearly had a genuine love for dogs. Whether it was the warm greeting when I dropped Cooper off, or the kind reception when I picked him up, it was clear that your team enjoys what they do. Thank you for providing such a positive and caring environment for Cooper. The peace of mind I get from knowing Cooper will be in your daycare is simply immeasurable. I look forward to bringing him back in the near future.

Have been bringing my puppy here ever since he was able to with age requirements! He absolutely loves coming here. When we pull up he is practically jumping out of the car to get inside! The staff is wonderful and is always friendly and catering to you and your pets needs. Thank you Camp Bow Wow!

We’ve been super happy with camp bow wow! We were using another doggie daycare for awhile but once they had switched owners, communication went downhill so we decided to make a change. Waylon loves coming to camp (: He is always pooped and ready for bed by the time we get home. 100% recommend!

Camp Bow Wow is the best doggie day care. My dog Alabama comes home happy. The cameras are awesome. I can watch my pup while she's playing all day.

Our first experience here was great. However, I recently boarded my dog at Camp Bow Wow, and unfortunately, I had a concerning experience. When I went to pick up my dog, they initially gave me the wrong one, explaining it away by saying there were a lot of golden retrievers that day. While I understand mistakes can happen, this made me very uneasy about their attention to detail. I raised my concern about the possibility of them giving my dog to someone else, but I didn’t feel reassured by their response. This experience has left me feeling uncomfortable, and I will never leave my dog with them again. A kennel needs to give pet owners peace of mind, and unfortunately, I didn’t get that from Camp Bow Wow.

Our dog, Moose, absolutely loves the staff and the amount of socialization he gets. Hes always so happy to go and so happy to see us when we pick him up. We asked to have his nails trimmed and the staff said he sat like an angel. I inspected his nails when we got home and they looked great. No complaints. I have zero concerns when we drop him off- if you arent sure, watch the free cameras they provide online and see for yourself! Thank you Camp Bow Wow-Meridian for treating our Moose so well.

We (mostly our dog Maxx) LOVE Camp Bow Wow!! Everyone is always so nice and we never worry about leaving him there. We can watch him on camera at any time. We looked at a few places and Camp Bow Wow is the best. Highly recommend!

Dublin loves it here. The enrichment activities are so fun! He comes home with art projects and pictures. And the best is that he is worn out at the end of the day from playing. The counselors genuinely love dogs.

Simply the Best! I truly adore the staff at this Camp Bow Wow. I have been taking my dog there for 5 years. The kindness and care that CBW provides to my dog is beyond amazing. Recently, with very short notice, CBW provided a “home” for my dog for 4 weeks while I cared for my daughter who was in the hospital out of state. Every day, I watched the cameras to see my dog running around and happy 😊. Every time I called to talk with staff about my dog, they were so friendly and supportive of my situation and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. CBW certainly made my dog part of the family and me feel better during the long separation. Thank you 🙏
