Top rated Ottawa Lake dog boarders
“We highly recommend Skip and Mary! Blue is hard to win over and he was snuggling with them before the end of the first night. They are clearly dog lovers, and they are a perfect fit if your dog is used to having someone at home often, loves walks, snuggles, but is not comfortable around children. Thank you for taking such good care of Blue!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”
“Erin was amazing! She took such great care of Gus and for a long time! (9 nights) Gus had so much fun and she sent us updates multiple times a day. I had peace of mind the entire time and was never worried about my boy. We will absolutely be going back to Erin!”
“Sophie loved staying with Kayla, Julian, and Lila! She didn’t want to leave and was sad when we drove home- which is a first for her! Already planning to rebook with them!”
“If you’re fortunate enough to have the opportunity for Aunt Janelle to watch your pups, you absolutely should! She took our athletic, high energy dog on walks, played fetch, and spoiled him rotten with love and cuddles!! She sent photos and videos of Cody having a great time throughout his stay. It was easy to enjoy my trip knowing that Janelle was taking such great care of our fur son. I could go on for days about how she’s the best choice to watch your pup-from start to finish. She cares about the safety of every dog she watches and doesn’t accept pets that she doesn’t trust. Thank you so much for taking in our big baby boy and treating him like your own!!!”
“Zo and Mila loved their stay! Communication was great, I received updates and pictures which was awesome. We were very happy and thankful to find such a great family for our doggy’s!”
“Zurijanne is so amazing just so sweet and loving and that is reflected in her sweet fur babies! My hima has such fun play mates and looked so comfy and happy! She kept me updated and reassured me since it’s my babies first sleepover without me!”
“Great experience! Our very high energy pup returned from his weeklong stay happy and relaxed. Hosts have an awesome backyard for running, playing, and hanging out. We received photo and video updates daily so there was no uncertainty on how our dog was doing at any point. Great communication and no worries at all the entire stay. Will book again when we need pet care! Way better than boarding :)”
“Our dog Daisy had a great stay. We were sent photos and up dates periodically through out each day. She always looked happy, playing, eating or resting. She came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Always a pleasure having Stephanie as a dog-sitter she is very attentive and loves dogs. Never have any issues when she watches my dog and she provides plenty of attention and exercise!”
“Penny was great! She sent many photo updates of our puppies. They had many adventure walks, had time to play in her yard, and they also did some training sessions. We will definitely be back!”
“She was very flexible and worked with me. I feel very comfortable with my dog in her hands, and she did good with picture updates. 😊 Will definitely recommend her and utilize her services again.”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“I had never had Paige as a dog sitter before, so I was little nervous when I left out of the country for two weeks. She was very attentive during the process, and made sure to send me updates over the app so I could see how he was doing since I wouldn't have access to my cell number. Buddy and her dog Eddie became fast friends, and I was always happy to see what misadventures the pair was getting up to. She made him feel right at home. Thanks Paige!”
“Cardi was so happy and well taken care of for the weekend. Provides updates, pictures and is just warm and caring in general. Will definitely book again. Thanks Sandy!”
“Rylee seemed to enjoy her time with Kristin. Kristin kept us up to date with photos of how Rylee was doing. This was very much appreciated. We will definitely use Kristen again.”
“We are so glad we chose LaTonya to care for our Molly! She sent lots of pictures and kept us in the loop with how Molly was doing. We are grateful for her caring for our pup and would recommend her highly!”
“Cindie was so sweet and loving to my pup. He enjoyed playing with her two dogs. I am definately going to use her again. She is a true lover of animals!”
“Debra was awesome! She was well over expectations for giving updates and she even sent a video! I could tell she took very good care of my puppy and even baked a puppy food cake for her birthday! Highly recommend her.”
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic with Harley! She went above and beyond to make Harley comfortable, even sleeping on the couch when Harley wouldn't go up the stairs to the bedroom. She also gave Harley plenty of outdoors time to explore to her heart's content.”
