This is a total scam and they are liars --they just want money. This started back in August 2023…read morewhere I paid to board my older pup and a foster pup because they were not getting along, IB K9 said the boarding date would be about a month out. Long story short, the same night I had requested for a refund when we had to cancel one of our foster dog's boarding after she hurt my older pup. They promised to send my money back. They never did. My older pup got sick after boarding and didn't learn anything basically; they were super communicative until my dog was boarded, then afterwards I had to keep reaching out to ask how she was doing and I got basically one photo during the entire time she was boarded. After I got my older pup back she seemed really sick, severely skinny and when I brought her to her vet, they expressed heavy concern with the facilities because she was clearly weaker and sick and I ended up breaking down crying from feeling so bad for doing this to her. I never even requested a refund for the harm they did to my dog ; I only asked for a refund on the dog that was NEVER BOARDED. I posted a review on Google a few years back when it all happened and in late July 2026, they replied to my google review telling me to reach out via email, only to tell me they won't refund me and state that it's part of the signed contract, but there was no such contract and they are absolute liars. I filed a small claims which they ignored; you can see in the affidavit attached where they tried to ignore / refuse to open the door and accept the served papers. I am now also posting all my interaction with them to warn anyone who is thinking of taking their dogs here. So bottom line is, if you want to traumatize your pup, waste your money, or never get your money back this would be a good place.

Katie came to my house for an in home consultation for training. We texted a bit after the consultation and then she checked in a couple days later and I didn't respond because I was thinking about the best options for my dog. Then she sent a message about dog sitting and "rover" which I was really confused about. I think she got her accounts messed up. Anyway when I didn't reply back to that she said " thanks for letting me know! Human decency would be at least a reply ". And then I'm assuming she blocked me because all other texts to her were left unread. I was just trying to clear things up. Then my wife left a comment on her business Instagram account explaining how weird the whole situation was and she blocked my wife and then used her personal social media account to send this attached message. She insulted every member of my family for no other reason than she refused to explain a situation and dodged any interactions. If you want a mature dog trainer who you can trust I'd choose a different option.

Karen is the only pet sitter I've ever met who genuinely cares about all dogs - not just her own…read more She will treat your dog as if it is her own and will either take your dog in, or go to your house as often as you want her to. She has cared for my dog when I am gone for the past few years and she is 100% reliable and dependable. She always goes above and beyond what you ask her to do. For example, once time when she came over to watch my dog, she noticed the smoke alarm was beeping, so she on her own found the batteries and replaced it for me. She also always makes sure everything around the house is clean and she cleans the sink and bowl, etc. She keeps everything really tidy and organized. My dog feels so comfortable with her and loves her. What's an added bonus is, Karen specializes in old dogs and dogs that need medical attention. My dog is old and Karen is such a natural with her and has a great natural instinct on her to care for her and make her comfortable and happy. She even gets my dog to eat really well, better than I do! I want Karen to come over once in a while just to keep my dog eating and doing good! We have had dogs for the past 30 or so years, and we have gone lots of dog sitters in IL and AZ, and we have never found anyone as great as Karen. I definitely recommend her to anybody!

I have SOOOO many great things to say about Bill's Mutt House! But let me start with this, I HIGHLY…read moreHIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for all your boarding & daycare needs! If I could give a review for Bill's Mutt House I would in a heartbeat! A little bit about us: we have 3 pups we adopted from a rescue almost 2 years ago, 2 littles and their mom. When we adopted them they all had some form of past trauma, but even with the challenges our pups have, I can confidently say that all the employees who work here are AMAZING with ALL dogs, even ones who need a little more TLC like ours! Our pups have never been boarded or to doggie daycare before, so naturally we were nervous about how they would do at first, but after the initial meet and greet all our worries were gone we could see right away that this place and all the people here are amazing with dogs and passionate about their work. Jonathan was the first employee we met at the meet and greet, he made the initial process easy and seamless. I really appreciate all the time he spent explaining everything in detail, answering all our questions, and bringing other dogs out slowly to get our pups adjusted and see how they did. Jonathan also gave us a tour of the yards and facility, so we got to see the kennel our pups would stay in and feel how great their AC is (which in AZ good AC for fur babies is a must have!) We knew when our nervous reserved boy Apollo attached to Jonathan right away that this was the perfect place with the perfect people While our pups were there, the employees even worked with all 3 of them on leash training and got our boy Apollo a LOT more comfortable on a leash! I was worried Apollo might not be able to work past his trauma with leashes, but having the amazing people at Bills work with him during his stay has helped him improve drastically. The rotation system they use is also wonderful, they put pups in groups that do well together to ensure all the dogs are in a group that fits their individual needs and comfort level (because like us humans, not all dogs get along with eachother ). They rotate the groups outside constantly throughout the day, so every pup gets lots of time outside in the yard to play and socialize. They made sure to put our pups with a calm group so they could ease into this new experience. Another thing I liked is that they post videos on their Instagram several times a day, so while we were out of town we were able to see our babies while they were in the yard playing and socializing I love the fact that we were able to have all 3 of our pups in the same kennel during their stay, so they could sleep together and be more comfortable. They have a wide variety of kennel sizes and can have your pups stay together or separate, depending on what they need and their size. I also really appreciate how transparent they are about their pricing, it was very reasonable and fair, plus there were no hidden fees/costs or anything that suddenly changed at pick up. It was all laid out and explained thoroughly during the meet and greet, and since we were able to have all 3 of our pups in the same kennel we were able to save a little on the daily rate! The wide range of pick up/drop off time is very convenient too. You can drop off and pick up anytime between 7AM - 9PM, which made planning our weekend trip sooooo much easier! Overall we are 1 million % happy with our experience at Bill's Mutt House! It's puppy paradise If you're on the fence about where to go and took the time to read my novel then look no further! I can confidently say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this place is the BEST place for all doggie boarding and daycare needs. Our fur babies deserve the best care, and we will only go here from now on because they are THE best! Thank you again to everyone at Bill's Mutt House, we appreciate the wonderful care you gave our pups and are excited to bring them back for more daycare and boarding visits! I know the pups are excited too The Radke Family

Bill's Mutt House gets a well-deserved 5 stars from us…read more We were nervous about bringing our 13-year-old puggle, Nelson, to an overnight kennel--he's older, set in his routines, and we just wanted to be sure he'd be comfortable and cared for. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Drop-off was easy, the staff was friendly and reassuring, and it was clear they genuinely care about the dogs. Nelson did great overnight and came home happy and relaxed, which was exactly what we were hoping for. If you're on the fence about boarding, especially with a senior dog, I'd absolutely recommend Bill's Mutt House.
