Pet Services, Pet Boarders and Sitters, Pet Sitting
A unique alternative to pet boarding. Perfect for those owners who do not want their pet kept in a kennel or a pet sitter to visit a couple times a day.
Pets Are Inn makes special arrangements for your pet that far surpasses the offerings of a traditional kennel. We carefully screen animal loving individuals and families to care for your pet! These "Host Families" take your pet into their home and give them the personal attention they are used to lots of love, petting, playing, walking, a warm comfortable place to sleep and of course, the food you provide, served when and the way your pet likes it. We meet you and your pet to conduct an interview to collect the necessary information about your pet. We then carefully match your pet's individual need with the right "Host Family". On the dates specified, we transport your pet to and from its home-away from home. Our "Host Families" do their best to ensure that your pet has a happy and pampered stay because we know how your special family member deserves the best!!!
We have a rescued pug dog and I was so worried to leave her when we needed to go out of town. That's when my mom recommended pets are inn. To be able to leave my little dog and know that she is at a caring persons home being fed on her schedule and being let outside constantly is so comforting to me!!! If we didn't have pets are inn available to us I probably would never go out of town. We highly recommend pets are inn!!! (my little dog always comes home happy and content!!!)

We only use Pets Are Inn when we go out of town. Our Dog is treated as we would treat her, while she lives with a family in their home. Libby, our dog never stays in a kennel now...

What a concept?
by Anonymous
this is a wonderful place for dogs to go while on vacation. We had our dog in a doggie spa but he still came home stressed and sick. He did not eat very well, and then just laid around all day.
We found Pets Are Inn and what a find it was. Our dog came home so happy, full of energy and ready to play. We called to check up on him while we were gone and got a wonderful report. The second time we used Pets Are Inn, Dudley was so excited when he saw the van pull up in front of my house. He could not wait to get inside to go to his home away from home. The owners of Pets Are Inn know what customer service is all about. They are great to work with.

I love Pets Are Inn. When I travel, I do not want to board my dog where he will be confined to a small kennel or left at home to be visited once or twice a day by a sitter
Pets are In was the perfect alternative - they picked up my dog for "home hospitality". He was cared for in a loving home, similar to mine.
I will use them again and again
PROS: Home Care Pet Sitters
CONS: Can be pricy

lots of love for my pet while I'm away
by C Burns
At first I was (as most people are) wary of not seeing where my precious Chester was going to stay while I was away, but after meeting Donna and Al at their office my fears were eliminated. They showed me pictures of the host homes, and answered all of my questions with patience and complete concern for my puppy's welfare and happiness.
I am very pleased that Chester visits the same host each time (3), and he makes himself right at home! The host sent pictures to me from the first visit, and notes of his activity all 3 times. Every time I called Donna or Al to check up on Chester, they promptly called me back and gave me a report. I am completely satisfied with their service and will use them again---and encourage anyone to trust Pets are Inn with their furry loved one.

Pros: pick up service and personal notes

Best Pet Sitting Service!!!
by cavsrock
We have been using Pets Are Inn for several years now for our 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It's a great service. There is nothing better than knowing your "family members" are going to a warm home, getting lots of attention, walks, cuddles and playtime; much better than being couped up in a 6x6 kennel for a week! Our dogs get to go to the same host family everytime and now when the Pets Are Inn van pulls up to the house they get so excited, run out and jump right in, ready to go to their "vacation"! What a great feeling!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pets Are Inn!
Pros: Dogs get vacation too!!

Almost the Worst Service Imaginable
by Dallas01
We left our dog with Pets Are Inn for a week while we were out of the country. Mid-way through the trip they called to tell us the host had fallen on our dog and double-compound fractured her leg. We have since incurred almost $5,000 in medical expenses for the dog -- not a penny covered by Pets Are Inn or the host. They have NO insurance that covers an injury your pet sustains while in their care. (They claim no liability for injury.) The vet tells us our dog will never fully recover and will likely have severe athritis as a result of the breaks. To make matters worse, Pets Are Inn have since billed us for transporting the dog to the emergency vet after their host broke her leg. Never once have they even bothered to apologize for the event, for the pain they put our dog through, or ruining a good part of our summer. Avoid this service at all costs.
Cons: Not properly insured and doesn't guarantee pet safety.

Highly Recommended !
by AJAX
Pets Are Inn made it possible for us to go on vacation and not worry about our dog. If you don't feel right leaving your dog all alone in a kennel with a cold concrete floor, this is the best there is (next to being at home). We found the most perfect host family for Ajax, our Boston Terrier! They love her almost as much as we do and have bought her toys & a cute double breasted coat! The host families love pets or they wouldn't be doing this. They give medication when necessary and you can feel confident that your pet is being cared for and then can enjoy yourself.
Donna, Al, Diane & Judy ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Pros: they match your pet with the perfect host family

Excellent Service with a human touch!
by lisavillela
Al and Donna of PetsAreInn in Plano Texas offer excellent service with a human touch. Their willingness to accommodate our pet on short notice because of last-minute airline problems and pick her up at the airport was an act of kindness for which we will be forever grateful. PetsAreInn of Plano-Texas provided quality service with added details such as photos of our pet, reports on feeding and general welfare that made us feel very comfortable with the boarding experience. Their intake questionnaire was very thorough about our pet's likes and dislikes. PetsAreInn is a very professional and caring boarding service. We will certainly use PetsAreInn for any future need to board our pet.
Pros: Excellent service, human touch

Gaston Loves Pets are Inn!!!
by RunawayGaston
The story of the Runaway: Our family was in the midst of moving from one home to another. The front door was open while the movers were coming and going. Little Gaston was not happy. He saw a white van in front of the house, thinking it was a Pets Are Inn van he ran outside, around and around the van, looking for the door so he could jump in. The problem was it was the moving van. Finally I called Pets Are Inn and asked if they could take care of Gaston while we moved. It seemed Gaston could talk, he was saying "I need Pets Are Inn". He was a happy dog when the right white van rolled up!!!!
Pros: Pick Up Your Pet, Last Minute, Kind and nuturing Host Families
Cons: My dog loves it sooo much!!!! He would stay if he could!
