I imagined her making brownies, popcorn, having a BBQ and not turning off the grill afterwards. Carried away-then I remembered this is Molly, our favorite cat, and prepared to have someone else in our messy house. The manager "Mollie" was very organized. We, were very detailed. I organized food in one cabinet, with post-its for info, post-it where her room litterbox was after already giving info to the manager I think it helped make things simpler. We started getting daily reports, with "basics" box checked. They were thorough, precise, and complete. My Dad worked for Polaroid for 20 years, and these pet sitters were awesome at taking pictures. Every day we'd open up the emails and this noise would come out of our mouths: not ooh! Yecch! But...: Awwww, look at how cute she looks. Her wariness and caution as a cat showed, but her shyness rounded the corner a bit. Sitter4paws let us take a long vacation worry free at what we thought were reasonable prices, for a truly truly worry free vacation. Great communicators, responsible, and reliable, and awesome photographers. Thank you!

I will never use them again after my TERRIBLE experience. Initially used this service for a short business trip with success so tried again for a longer trip to see family between Christmas and NYE. The company sent a sitter I had never met who incorrectly used the pill injector on my sick, elderly cat and forced her to swallow the over inch-long applicator tip. Resulted in $3,000 emergency vet surgery to remove that I had to manage from out of town. So deeply stressful for me but mainly my poor elderly asthmatic cat!! They handled it but SO unnecessary and only happened bc of their bizarre business model where they pick whichever of their employees are available, not someone who knows your house/pet. So if you get one who knows what they're doing you don't necessarily get them again - it's totally random from the customer's perspective. Instead of enjoying my family I had to spend the time managing the emergency they created from afar, stressed and fuming that I trusted this company to send someone competent to care for my sweet older cat. After the first disastrous pill delivery issue they sent the **same person** again a day later who clearly doesn't know how to give a cat medication and she, again, incorrectly gave my cat her medication!!! My cat gets ill if she misses just one day, the medication is a high-dose steroid for her asthma. The employee did not know how to give her the pill, but still marked the medication as administered on their form (I only figured out it didn't happen when I read the notes) and instead of giving her the pill rubbed it on her gums -?!? I am FURIOUS for my poor cat and at the incompetence of this employee they continue to use, along with the management that assured me they know how to give cats medication and yet still sent this individual out after it was proved that they cannot give a cat medication effectively. The other employees seemed to be ok but I had no choice over who they sent over, meaning every visit was a gamble. If you need anything beyond the most basic service, avoid avoid avoid!!!

We recently visited Wonder Dog Ranch with hopes of finding a safe and fun place for our dog to…read moresocialize and play. However, a few red flags made us uncomfortable with leaving our pet there. First, when we arrived, we weren't allowed inside--not even into the front office. Instead, we had to fill out all the paperwork outside. When we asked to see the play area where the dogs would be spending their time, we were also denied access. This raised concerns about transparency. Inside the office, we noticed a TV monitor and asked if it was used for pet parents to check in on their dogs during pet play time , Kevin told us no. This meant that once we left our dog, we had no way of knowing how they were being treated or interacting with other dogs. When we asked for a visual reference of the play area, he only had a few photos, which showed a couch and some toys--not the engaging and structured environment we were expecting. We did leave our dog for the initial evaluation. Before I left I asked him if he can take a video for me for todays at least, so that I can see how my puppy interacts with his stay , he then assured me he would be able to do that. My husband and I left to grab a bite, and returned in 45 min. When we returned I asked to see the video, and he said he did not take a video of my puppy interacting. After we left we discussed it and didn't feel comfortable with the lack of access and transparency. We ultimately decided not to bring our dog back. While we can't say anything negative about how the dogs are actually treated, the fact that pet owners aren't allowed to see where their pets will be playing or how they are interacting raises concerns. For us, peace of mind and trust are essential when leaving our pet in someone else's care, and unfortunately, we didn't get that here. Kevin appeared to be a nice gentleman, and maybe a bit old school, but this wasn't for us.

We have finally found the perfect place for our two doggies! They stayed there this past weekend,…read moreand Pixie was absolutely amazing! We have small dogs, and I've always been so worried about leaving them at one of those big doggie daycare or boarding centers because of their size. What I love about this cottage is that they only have small dogs, so I feel so much more comfortable knowing they are around dogs their own size. Our dogs absolutely loved it! It truly feels like a home away from home. They also upload photos and videos so you can see how your pets are doing, which gives me so much peace of mind while they're away. I highly recommend this place! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful, loving, and caring place for our fur babies. We will definitely be back.

From the start, the owner was thoughtful and intentional, setting up a meet-and-greet with our dog and the dogs already in her care to be sure everyone was a good fit. It went wonderfully. She clearly understands dog dynamics and shared that she specializes in small dogs and that older dogs fell comfortable there, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our dog absolutely loves going for both daycare and overnight stays. Our dog has occasional gastrointestinal issues, and the owner is meticulous about following her specific diet without us having to worry or remind her. We're consistently kept in the loop with updates, and she regularly posts photos and videos so we can see how happy, relaxed, and comfortable our dog is while she's there. Drop-offs are completely stress-free--our dog is genuinely excited to go, and that says everything. It truly feels like her second home. If you have a small dog and want a place where care is intentional, calm, and genuinely loving, the Dog Cottage is the place!

They also have a store attached to them so you can buy retail items there. The service was pretty fast and there's tons of things to do nearby while you wait. Pricing was $95 for my pup. My only complaint was the parking. It was a little difficult as it is street parking only.

She recommended Sarah at Happy Dogs Happy Owners when we mentioned we were struggling to leave our dog home during working hours. Needless to say, we're very glad we trusted our trainer. Maple has been going to daycare three days a week for seven months and literally scratches at the gate to get in and see Sarah/ her dog friends every morning. She comes home completely tuckered out and sleeps the rest of the day. I just know Sarah is doing a good job by how much Maple loves and trusts her. Aside from the playtime, Sarah will also bathe our dog, clip her nails, and express her anal glands upon request for very reasonable prices. She is always responsive via text and I've even been known to text her for advice about any odd issues that come up. My only complaint is that we don't live closer to where Sarah is! But the 20-25 min commute to drop off/ pick up Maple is so worth it to leave my dog in the hands of a great sitter. 10/10, would recommend.

At 110 pounds, he can be a handful. I was impressed with Sarah's attitude and the ease with which she handled him. We dropped them off for a brief (45 minute) introduction so she could assess their personalities and ability to mix with her pack and mentor dogs. Everything went fine, and I was relieved. During our trip we got a ton of photos and text updates. Scout tried to escape 2 or 3 times, but Sarah handled him with ease until he adjusted. She makes sure all her boarders received the individualized care they need, whether that be segregated eating, play time, etc. Our dogs ended up mixing seamlessly with the pack. She made sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation (nose work, mental exercises, interactive etc.), physical exercise (bike rides, play time, obstacles, etc.). Our dogs were very, very happy. Sarah is very experienced with dogs, and she cared for our dogs with love, integrity, and leadership. What do I mean "integrity"? Sarah treats her boarders like ger personal dogs. Every single dog gets her love, her time, and the leadership they need to get along with others and enjoy a calm, but fun filled stay. If your dog won't safely mix, she won'ttake your money and keep it caged until you return. She'll tell you she cant handle your dog and that's that. If you care about your dog, you'll find that peace of mind is priceless. We highly recommend Sarah and her services. In fact, we're decided to do doggy daycare once a month purely for the socialization and enrichment our dogs will experience. Sarah is the real deal and a gem. She can handle multiple dogs and their individual personalities with ease, and ours were greatly enriched during their stay with her.
