Dog Boarding in Heathcote

Rani was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be returning to her for any future boarding needs. I left my dog in her care for a week-long trip, and she went above and beyond to ensure he was well taken care of. Even though I had limited internet access during my trip, Rani still sent me daily updates with photos and details of my dog’s activities. It was so reassuring to receive her messages whenever I got Wi-Fi, and it showed just how dedicated she was to providing peace of mind to pet owners. When I first met Rani, we had a thorough meet-and-greet where she asked tons of thoughtful questions to ensure she understood my dog’s needs. She checked for any allergies, familiarized herself with his daily routine, and made sure to follow his exact feeding and walk schedules. It was clear she wanted to make him feel right at home, which I really appreciated. She even asked about his favorite toys and any behavioral quirks to make sure he had as smooth of an experience as possible, which made me feel she was truly invested in his well-being. One of the things that set Rani apart was her attention to detail. She made sure my dog’s exercise needs were fully met, taking him on regular walks and ensuring he got plenty of playtime each day. Not only did she stick to his usual routines, but she also provided him with enrichment activities to keep him happy and mentally stimulated. Her genuine care showed in the updates she sent—she’d include little notes about what he seemed to enjoy or any funny moments, making me feel even more connected and reassured. Rani was also very accommodating with my schedule. I needed to adjust the boarding dates last minute, adding an extra day and delaying my pickup time due to travel changes, and she handled it all seamlessly. Her flexibility and understanding took a huge weight off my shoulders, as I knew my dog was in safe hands and that I didn’t need to worry about any unexpected changes on my end. Her facility itself was clean, organized, and clearly well-maintained. It felt like a safe, comfortable environment for my dog. The other dogs there also seemed calm and content, which is a testament to the structured yet caring atmosphere Rani has created. I left knowing he’d have a cozy space to relax and socialize safely, and that Rani would handle everything with the utmost professionalism. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented dog sitter, I can't recommend Rani enough! She made the whole experience stress-free, and my dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. I feel lucky to have found her and can’t imagine a better boarding experience for my dog.

Lu Y was very humble and really nice person to meet. She took care of our dog (Luna) for 1 week. She sent regular updates on daily basis on lunas status. Luna came home very happy and excited. Ww are very happy with her services. We will use LuY services again.

Whitney & Michael (and fam) are incredible sitters. Charlie had an absolute blast, was obviously well cared for, and was perhaps even a bit bummed to come home! They were very communicative, captured Charlie in various states of bliss, and were quite flexible with drop-off/pick-up. Have already rebooked!

As a first time user I'm very satisfied with the booking process. I am happy with the timely responses and feedback provided by Victoria. Most importantly Mila was very comfortable with Victoria and Victoria provided comfort, companionship and care to her which is comforting to me.

This was the first time Lulu stayed overnight with non family members. It was the best experience for the both of us! I could not ask for a more caring, loving, and understanding family to watch my precious pup! Margarida gave me daily updates and I looked forward to seeing the adorable reels and videos she created. Lulu even came home with artwork! Lulu is booked to stay with Margarida again next weekend. I am so grateful to have met Margarida and family, I highly recommend using Margarida. She really took the stress out of traveling, Lulu is a bit depressed today without her!!

Elvis is always so happy with Yvette. Thank you so much Yvette for your care and your regular updates and photographs and walks. It means the world we will be back soon.

I had not realized that my dog was feeling unwell & she was very understanding & accommodating. I feel very lucky to have left him with someone so understanding when this happened. My dog seemed to really love her too.

Kate was amazing and Chico (our dog) had the most wonderful time at her place. He played a lot with her dogs and little girls, ate well and seemed very happy. She always responded to all questions and sent numerous pics and videos. Overall it was wonderful and now we are not worried for our next trip as we would surely be leaving Chico with Kate.

Maureen did a great job caring for my dog Bruno. I found her to be very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for dogs. She is very caring and a warm hearted person. It was quite easy to communicate with her and she kept me posted with pictures and videos and many updates throughout the day when I left my dog with her for 2 days. I would highly recommend her for dog sitting.

Keith was a wonderful host, organized and thoughtful, and it was immediately clear that his entire family loves dogs. He sent me great pictures, and my dog was very happy (and worn out) when I picked her up.

Chandupa and Avi were absolutely wonderful! The entire trip, we received pics and videos of our dogs being pampered. The communication was consistent and considerate. We were updated on how the dogs ate and rested and they had thoughtful questions on how to best handle our fur babies. The entire time we were away, we felt like our dogs were getting the best care they could have gotten. At pick up time, both hosts had cute stories about the dogs and compliments for both, which really showed us how loving and caring they are. I would 1,000,000% ask them to watch our dogs again, and I know that my dogs would love every minute of it! They seemed sad to leave their newfound friends yesterday!

Jaimie was AMAZING!!! She has a warm & loving home, and communicated perfectly. We received lots of pictures & videos and could see that our Stella was very well cared for and having tons of fun! I highly recommend Jaimie and will definitely be using her again.

Really amazing boarder. Our experience was above and beyond the standard expectation. The family was so kind and attentive to our bulldog, Kayla. She had a fun time there and felt very welcomed and safe. It was obvious from the pictures and her excitement going back after the meet and greet. She returned happy. Thank you, Lisa

Jamie was absolutely amazing with Polly! We were dealing with a family emergency and our plans changed unexpectedly, but Jamie was so accommodating and flexible. It really made a difference for us. Polly is a bit shy and can take a while to warm up to new people, but she liked Jamie right away! I could tell that Polly was having a blast in all the photos Jamie sent. Jamie was very communicative, and I always felt like Polly was in great hands. We can't wait to book with her again!

Another great stay with Mary! My special needs dog received excellent, loving, and careful/attentive care for his emotional and health needs, and he was happy and healthy at pick up! I do not need to worry when I leave my dog with Mary and Kyle. Great communication. Excellent sitter, highly recommended!

Fluffy enjoyed his stay. Steven was very flexible and kind enough to adjust some of the changes in the schedule. Thank you.. and Fluffy says "Hi" to his newly made friends at your place.

Lovely care of our dog. She engaged with our dog immediately for an immediate connection. After a full day with Noria, it was comforting to know that our dog enjoyed a great day.

Carly was great with Penny! She was caring and responsive to her needs and provided updates to us putting us at ease. I would highly recommend Carly.

Pam was great! We left our dog with her for a long weekend. We never worried a bit and Bailee was very happy and well cared for! We received pictures and updates every day. We will definitely use her again in the near future!

Catherine agreed to watch Lincoln on short notice (~3 days) which was very helpful for us as we had to take a last minute trip. She kept us posted on how Lincoln was doing, and on pickup, it was apparent that he was well taken care of. Thanks Catherine!
