If you're looking for someone to board, walk, or simply care for your dog like family, Fairy Dog…read moreDad should be your first call. Peter goes above and beyond in every way. From the moment we dropped our dog off, we could tell this wasn't just another boarding service, it was a safe, clean, and loving environment. By the time we picked him up, he was happier than when we left him. What really sets Peter apart is the time and care he puts in before your dog's stay. He personally interviews you to understand your dog's commands, feeding routines, walking habits, and unique quirks. This thoughtful approach meant we could leave town with total peace of mind, knowing our pup was not only cared for but genuinely loved. Peter is professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I can't recommend him highly enough. If you want to enjoy your time away without a single worry about your dog, Fairy Dog Dad is the best choice you can make.

In over 100 walks Peter's never cancelled or rescheduled on us. Our schedules are not flexible so Peter's dependability has been priceless for us.

Dropped off two fully vaccinated and healthy small dogs for a 6 night stay. I was at the emergency…read morevet with two very sick dogs less than 24 hours after pick up. Both dogs had a vaccine resistant kennel cough and had not been treated for it, one dog had pneumonia. I chose this place because it had a veterinary clinic attached and was assured my pets would be seen if needed. This definitely was not the case. I spent 3X the amount I spent on boarding trying to save my dogs from what they caught at this facility. The vet at the emergency care mentioned the volume of animals at the facility was probably a contributing factor. Never again! Don't be fooled by this new and modern looking place.

That means it is very hard to deal with at a Vet office. The owner met me one day and said, "Bring Otis in during your walk. We will give him treats and he can get familiar with our place. I did just that, and Otis started to take me to the front door so he could see his new friends (unbelievable) and get treats. This morning, I took Otis in for an actual visit with the Vet. A vet assistant was educated in these kinds of dogs. She educated me, gave me some sedatives for the next visit and explained that these small bullies are simply like this sometimes. Otis got a shot for the flu (I highly recommend) stool sample, heart and teeth checked. He also got a q-tip in the ear. I had to hold him tight, but it was fine. The staff showed calm professionalism. The facility is pristine, and the parking is plentiful. They have day care, VIP Day care and boarding. Amazing place and so nice for us. I highly recommend.

We have had 3 and a half years experience with Red Dog Pet Sitting Services with CATS Gracie and…read moreRose. Five stars is tops here but our score would be 100 out of 100 if possible. Originally, the service was recommended via a Facebook connection. We had never used a professional service and had no idea what wonderful experiences awaited our two cats and us. My first interaction with Karl was on the phone seeking information. After he told me all about the service he started talking about a cat he had sat with before. He showed such care and concern about one of their " customers " it was comforting to hear. Little did I know that now this is how we have experienced this pet sitting service. There are two sitters who have come, Cynthia and Lauren. Cynthia has been the lead sitter and Lauren has been backup most of the time. Both have always done everything needed for routine cat care that included keeping a water fountain filled exactly as we asked. They both have sent photos and texts every day. This last visit that concluded a week ago (Christmas 2025) Rose wasn't eating like she usually did. Cynthia communicated about various things she tried to stimulate her appetite. There was nothing physically wrong with Rose but we all agreed that she might still be grieving the death of her dear littermate Gracie. Gracie died a year ago and the two had never spent one day apart. When Gracie died we let Cynthia and Lauren know. Cynthia had known Gracie the best and the longest. She provided several reassuring messages not just after Gracie died but other sweet messages along the way (not associated with visits). While this is a professional service, the service is personal. In addition to the pet care, they take in the mail including porch drop-offs - boxes and oversized envelopes. Here that means walking around the house and down a steep driveway into the area where the cats stay. All of this to say, the Red Dog Pet Sitting Services has been excellent. We would recommend them to anyone who has this need for their pets. (By the way, Rose did resume her routine eating habits.)

When we've forgotten toys there, they've kept them and given them to us the next time - a huge plus in my books. They also will give your dog medicine there if he needs it, which is another added bonus, as well as tell you if they see anything wrong or abnormal with your dog. We already knew Echo was limping, but they made it a point to tell us, which I really appreciated. Maybe they'll open a branch in Trussville soon. I do wish they'd take more pictures and send more of their 'pawgress' reports. We rarely see Echo in any pictures, and he's never gotten one of the reports. Maybe one day...

Not only did Cowboy (our dog) learn new things every session but we did as well. Ladale makes you feel very comfortable and makes sure you are equipped when you leave to continue training at home. Cowboy is a reactive dog (not aggressive) and anxious dog. Ladale has helped us with his reactivity as well as him learning to respect us and trust us. We are most likely going to do another round of classes in the new year. The money was well worth it & Ladale works with you to make sure you get everything you need. His training schedule felt very personalized & organized. We would 10,000 times recommend! He also makes sure every class is fun & doesn't feel like work.
