In Spruce Grove, Michelle's is the best. I have had 7 dogs and a cat over time and experienced it…read moreall. Michelle's is home pet sitting so your dog is never in a cage or kennel or run. She has a huge fenced in yard for the dogs to run around. They live in her house and Michelle is mostly at home. Our dog is a golden 16.5 y old and a Pom puppy. By the proof is in the homecoming. We have had stressed dogs, dogs on a hunger strike - cat to the tune of $2000 in vet bills after a 3 day stay somewhere else in Stony Plain - bladder infections, pressure sores. The dogs are perfect - calm and like they just went out for a walk. Our dogs are NEVER going anywhere else! Thank you Michelle for looking after our precious fur babies.

I'm SO lucky to have found Michelle. Since pets aren't allowed on intercity buses in Alberta, I…read moreneed somewhere for my rabbit to stay whenever I travel back to Calgary. After looking at my options online, I stumbled about Michelle's website and decided to give her a try. She runs the business completely out of her home which means your pets have 24 hour care in case of an emergency. Unlike other in-home care I have experienced where they allow far too many pets at once, Michelle caps it at the number she can handle which is great. It also means spots fill up fast so make sure you book ahead, especially for the busier seasons. Michelle is so nice and personable. I always feel completely at ease leaving my rabbit with her. She updates her business page on facebook frequently with pictures of her "guests" having fun. It's a great feeling knowing you can travel and not worry that your pets are getting the care they deserve.

waggy tails, dog grooming. First time I've taken my dog for grooming. Not impressed was hoping I…read morefound the right groomer and would stay with them. Not. My pup was done in less than 2 hrs and he looked like it when picking up. When paying was not asked about the 10% discount for first time clients. I missed out on that. The grooming prices were reasonable. I just have to tidy up some missed clipping, and washed face/eyes. Aaahh will keep looking for a good groomer...

We recently had Gaylene come in and Guinea pig sit for us while we went anway for a week and she…read morewas amazing! She kept me informed and updated when I message her, she sent photos and called me in Mexico to clarify something which really helped set my mind at ease while we were away. It was a super old spell and she made sure the house was ok, warm and she shovelled our snow 2x as well. We've just now booked her again to piggie sit and would highly recommend her for any of your home and pet sitting needs She even met my 84 yr old elderly mum who came round to talk to Dobby and make sure he wasn't lonely and my Mum also had nothing but praises for her You won't go wrong with booking Gaylene for any house/pet sitting needs you have!! Louisa (very happy client)

I have three cats and two of them are senior citizens…read morethat require a bit extra care - VIP Pet Service was the only one around me that was able to come and look after them twice a day. I appreciate that I did not have to put my pets into a kennel for the time that I was gone and stress them out. Paula was amazing and kept me up-to-date with what was happening at home, and the peace of mind that gave me was well worth it. Thank you!

VIP Pet Service collected Storm & Maggie and sat them in their home for five nights and then got them to the airport and on a plane to NFLD.

I've officially decided I am never sending my dog to another kennel. This place is amazing. In the…read morepast I've always asked past kennels how my dog behaved because she's a bit of a control freak and dominate - but I always got the same canned answer "she was good" If I prodded for more info I never got an explanation which made me wonder, did my dog actually interact with any other dogs? Did she ever get out of her kennel??? That was not the case at Prairie Rose. The staff are amazing and very honest. They monitor your pet, put them on a daily routine and on top of that, they set up a profile sheet on your dog for future visits. And the cost to leave my dog there was competitively priced. My dog didn't need to talk or let me know she had a great time, I know she got treated well and had plenty of exercise because she barely moved for 3 days after! LOL LOVE IT! Thanks Prairie Rose.

I'm going to cheat on this one a bit and just cut and paste a Google review that Heather posted on…read moreSturgeon County Kennels. I added this business, and was surprised it wasn't listed. We can't say enough great things about this place... we love our dog to the moon and are so lucky to have such a loving, caring place for her to stay when we are out of town. But Heather said it better, so here is her review: We are fairly regular visitors to Sturgeon County Kennels, bringing our pooch JoJo in while we're out of town throughout the year. We have been bringing her here for about seven years and do not hesitate to recommend the facility to absolutely everyone we can. The team here is amazing and our girl literally power pulls us from the car to the main building each time we arrive and if her tail excitedly helicoptered any faster, she would be flying there! Aside from the most fantastic team of professionals, who we truly believe care for our dog as much as we do, the facility is very well kept and clean no matter what time of the day you arrive. A family run small business, it appears to be a busy location at peak times, so it's good to make reservations in advance. The layout is such, though, that a full house doesn't translate into over-populated and all the dogs have their own private space to roam in their kennels in addition to access to a common area outside. Our pooch JoJo is great with people and bigger dogs but isn't so keen on little dogs. The Sturgeon County team always takes note and makes sure she doesn't bother the little guys but still gets her exercise and social time with the big dogs. Last but not least, we can't say enough about Sue from the team. She truly has become a friend we look forward to seeing and our dog is so genuinely overjoyed each time she's there! Sue goes above and beyond in her customer service focus and it's more than evident she loves her job and the dogs she cares so well for. We've test driven a half dozen kennels in the Edmonton area and now look no further. We will continue to bring JoJo to her home away from home where she is cared for like at her own home. If we could give Sturgeon 10 out of five stars, we wouldn't hesitate!!
