Fran was, in a word, amazing! She absolutely, positively went overboard and spoiled Blondie as well as Emil and me! Here are a few examples: - Beyond spotless house. (Fresh towels, stripped bed, emptied trash.) - Food and drinks for us in the fridge. (So nice to not worry about having something to eat in the house after a trip!) - Fresh flowers (The eucalyptus in the shower was a lovely touch!) - Several bags of treats and a new, unopened toy for Blondie. And that was after we got home! While we were away, she sent us updates, photos and videos of a VERY happy kitty! We knew as soon as we "met" Fran via Zoom that she was the perfect choice for us and we couldn't have been more right! Without hesitation, we'd invite Fran back into our home and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!
I had a great time watching Kali. She is very sweet, and the condo is gorgeous and in a prime location. Michelle was very welcoming and easy to communicate with.

Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!
Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾
We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.
I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.
Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.
Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.
Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.
We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.
We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.
We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.
Fetch! has been a great solution for a morning dog walker for our Charlie. I really liked the photo of Charlie out on his walk and the app that shows where he walked that morning. Makenna was the greatest dog walker and very professional. Robyn was extremely easy to interact with via email. Extremely good value for excellent service.
My petsitter from Fetch goes above and beyond. I swear she leaves my apartment cleaner than when I left it. I'm so, so happy I found this company and I can leave on vacation knowing my rabbits are well taken care of.
Fetch was amazing! My little dogs can be quite shy and timid but our pet car professional was so kind they loved him. Loved the updated and communication. Will absolutely use next time!
When our goldendoodle, Frankie, met Erinn, it was love at first sight! We are so glad we found a dog walker who truly LOVES caring for animals. Erinn is super responsible, trustworthy and goes above and beyond to make sure we are all happy. She will be our go-to helper whenever we need support in our absence.
Fetch! has been wonderful and took great care of our cats when we've been away. Twice we had older cats, one with cancer who required special attention and medications, and once we had a new kitten who was still settling in and we were very pleased. Victoria in particular was AMAZING and sent us photo updates at each visit. I recommend Fetch! highly. My one caveat is that sometimes sitters aren't available, so be sure to book ahead.
We've been using Fetch! For the past few years and have had great experiences with their pet sitters. Our cats (one elderly) are well taken care of when we're away. All the sitters communicate well, scheduling is super easy, and we're never worried about our home or pets while away. I highly recommend them if you're looking for reliable, consistently excellent pet care!
We used fetch for years when we lived on the East Coast, and were very happy that there was a local franchise for our new home on the east bay. When we asked, for our first service, the office staff was very responsive, and our assigned pet sitter was absolutely wonderful. There is no better thing when traveling to have peace of mind about how your pet is doing. Having a pet at home is so much better for the pet and for us than boarding. It was also great to have someone in the house daily to bring in the mail , and when needed, take the garbage bin to the street, I cannot recommend the service enough
I had a very positive experience with Fetch Pet Care (East Bay) and I would certainly recommend them to anyone. They tried to accommodate my requests and they were very good about keeping me posted on my kitty-cat's well-being, with posting photos and notes on their website. It was very reassuring to see that, and I would certainly trust them to take good care of her.
We were away for a long weekend so needed a pet sitter for the weekend (1 dog & 2 cats). The sitter did a great job with the animals but was thoughtful about mail collection, dishes, linens and towels, etc. We literally had no cleanup or chores when we got home. Great job Madeline!
We are a family that loves to travel, yet hold back out of concern for the care of our dogs. Enter Fetch. They booked us with Alison--a treasure! She conscientious, tuned in to the needs of our dear pups, and reliable. We come home to a house that is in order, and dogs who are happy. What could be better?! Many thanks to Alison and to Fetch for giving us the peace of mind that enables us to comfortably leave our dogs.
Sarah was flexible scheduling the meet and greet and was attentive and friendly when she arrived. I loved that she checked in daily and sent pictures of my pets. My pups are loud and boisterous, but they were no problem for Sarah! I would definitely recommend her for you pet sitting needs, I know I will use her again in the future.
Sarah was amazing with our two cats and bunny. She was incredibly thoughtful, sending us daily photos and updates that reassured us they were well-cared for and happy. Her genuine love for animals and attention to detail made all the difference. We returned to find our pets content and well-fed, thanks to Sarah's exceptional care. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Sarah was a wonderful help with walking my dogs while I was away on a business trip. She took the time to meet them ahead of time and asked about their preferences and quirks. They really loved seeing her every day and I’m sure will be excited for future visits!
Sarah is the best! After having a couple of bad experiences with other sitters we were nervous about trusting anyone. Then we met Sarah! She was so kind and attentive with our two big dogs. She came twice a day to walk, feed and cuddle the dogs. She sent us updates and pictures everyday. We couldn’t be happier with her service. I can’t recommend her enough!
Sarah is amazing, she took care of my Jack Russell and my daughter’s high energy Lab over Christmas and New Year’s while we were out of the country! From the moment the dogs met Sarah they loved her and both competed for lap time during her visits. She walked them daily and took great care of them sending us daily photos of their fun activities! If you are looking for someone to take excellent care of your pet you will find no one better than Sarah, she’s wonderful!
We recently had Sarah watch our elderly cat who needs a lot of extra care and attention. I couldn’t be more pleased!! She was very attentive to all the details of his special needs and I was able to actually relax and have peace of mind while I was away, knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!!
We are so grateful to have found Sarah for our cat-sitting needs! She truly goes above and beyond which means a lot when leaving your fur babies behind. She was great about making sure she had all the info she needed and also checking in and sending photos. Do not hesitate to book her, you will be grateful you did!
I had to find a new pet sitter (specifically, someone reliable to do home visits for 2 cats). Luckily, I found Sarah and wow! Very reliable, did a few extras that weren't critical and texted "cat status" at least once a day. Knowing a daily status was a comfort. Highly recommend!
Sarah has watched our huskies, indoor/outdoor cats, and fish. Super reliable, consistent, trustworthy, and communicative!
Jake is now over a year old and as a puppy he’s struggled a lot with reactivity. His main issue is meeting new people, especially if I’m around. We’ve taken him to dog parks which was fine up until recently, as he’s gotten older he’s become more guarded with me and had even shown some odd aggression with dogs at the dog park . My last resort was somehow taking me out of the equation which resulted me to doggy day care. Me and Jake were extremely nervous as he doesn’t do well in new environments. He’d cry the whole way there and even beg for me not to leave him. Now, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me anymore. His reactivity towards people is still very much there but this group of staff have been so patient with him and he’s now come to love being there with him. We even did a night of boarding! I can’t thank them enough for all they do for him. He’s still able to enjoy socializing with his dog friends and gets to be around other people which warms my heart! Thank you all!
One of the biggest nightmares that can happen to a dog owner occurred to me. While traveling overseas, one of my dogs got sick (not Play Dog Play's fault) during their stay. I can't thank PDP enough. They couldn't handled it better; within minutes they took my baby to the vet and provided the best care. The owner had him stay with him, so my dog got the rest he needed. The entire team truly cares about dogs, and I can't recommend them enough. Hector, the owner, followed up after my return to hear if my dog was ok. Luckily my dog is fine ~ I'm shocked to read that some reviewers had a non-positive experience with the new owners; they have been nothing but lovely and very caring. Thank you again!
Hector, Linda and staff are amazing. Kind, passionate about caring for dogs and very professional. Also very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
The absolute BEST!!! They love all the dogs and treat them as if they are their own. My dog goes for daycare and overnight boarding. They have options and one of them is for my dog to sleep in the bed with the human staying the night. He loves it!
Great service from the really super people that operate it. Our dog has enjoyed going there for the past 4 years for daycare + multi-night boarding and we trust them implicitly.
Amazing staff, great facilities, happy dogs. I literally begged them to accept my dog as a pup, she passed her assessment and now looks forward to any visit at PlayDogPlay.
Great place. Everyone is very caring and nice
We have been bringing our puppy here regularly since 2011. They are like family to us and I am pretty sure Mya likes it better here than at our house. John and Molly run a great operation and we feel so fortunate to have found them. It is fantastic to have a safe, clean and reliable place to leave our 4 legged family member when we go out of town.
Never again my boy got injured and have to be in emergency room after a couple hours in their care. I leave my boy to all day care near me and he Never get injured or hurt even once. Very disappointed. Staffs are friendly but that just not enough especially if Im picking up an injured boy and in pain. Lessons learned to all fur parent if the staff is saying that your dog is trying to get out don't bring him back there again.
Exceptional facility with a caring and accommodating staff.
A very professional person who takes great care of pets.
Fit N Furry is Lucy Loo’s home away from home. She loves her play days with friends and comes home all tuckered out. She also enjoys her sleepovers and we rest easy knowing she’s in the best of hands when we are away. Lucy Loo is a rescue from Mexico and gets very anxious around strangers. Her people friends at Fit N Furry treat her with such love and care. Can’t say enough good about the people and the place. They also have lots of fun events for the various holidays. We LOVE Fit N Furry.
We recently got a puppy and had to start over with a vet, training, and day care/boarding once in a while. We heard about FNF through a friend and gave them a try when we went to Disneyland. Our 6 month old Aussie Doodle isn't trusting of everyone. He definitely felt comfortable with the people at FNF immediately. It made a huge difference for us. We didn't have to worry about him. We got to enjoy the trip. They sent us pictures of him and updates the whole trip. It really put our mind at ease. He was well cared for and we could tell he wasn't stressed out etc. We will be continuing to give our business to FNF, even though there are other places that are more convenient and closer to us. Worth the drive 100% *Picture attached is one of the pics they sent to us as an update.
My big, deaf-from-birth, formerly stray dog thrives at FitnFurry. He was traumatized on the street as a pup and has issues with people and dogs, but at Fit he gets individualized attention, solo play in special sessions, and great care! The staff are terrific and he loves going there to stay.
It has been just about 3 weeks since we picked up our precious Lab Hope after her 18 day boarding/training course and her transformation has been amazing! This was a frightened timid and shaking dog that hid behind us when we arrived for her free consultation. We were assured that she would gain experience, confidence and skills while under their care. We journeyed of to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and received pictures and ongoing details of how her training was progressing. Today, the moment of truth came for us when we had visitors in our home, strangers to her. She laid down calmly, never barked, never got worked up, and when I put her on her leash to go for a walk, she sat calmly as she observed the strangers with not one ounce of negative fear or reaction. We went for our walk and she returned home just as calm as can be, all while my brothers dog barked uncontrollably at the strange voices. Marie has done a phenomenal job with Hope, and on her return visit, she was just as happy as can be returning to see Marie and her friends that she made at Fit & Furry. I have already referred several friends to Fit and Furry and I highly recommend their training courses. The transformation is so worth it! I was fortunate to be able to plan in advance and make payments prior to the training so that it was much easier to manage the cost of training, but I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you Marie and staff on behalf of Hope and our grateful family! You are one in a million!!! Hope thinks so too!! Here is a picture of Hope and her little friend Sasha who was also once shy and Hope helped her to come out of her shell. Just Amazing Hope!!!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fit ‘N’ Furry is. My dog loves going to daycare, the groomer is excellent as well as the training staff. I have boarded my dog multiple times at Fit ‘N’ Furry because they take such good care of my dog. The training staff are always available when I have questions and they are absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend taking your pet to Fit ‘N’ Furry for all their services!!
Wanted to start our new pup with a good daycare, lodging experience. Went to puppy play - well managed and then to lodging. Our girl is happy to meet all her new friends and played out by the time she comes home. They even gave her a bath after she got too messy! Loving Fit n Furry- hope your furball feels that same!
We adopted a Dachshund mix puppy. We boarded him at Fit 'N" Furry and the service and care he received was excellent. The facilities are clean while the staff is welcoming and professional. In addition to boarding him, we engaged their trainer, Marie, to work with him. She not only trained him, but she trained us. She was insightful as to what our puppy’s needs were, the breed characteristics, developmental stages, etc. Our dog is now a 1 year adolescent and she continues to provide us with evaluation, problem solving, and setting expectations and goals. Marie is an outstanding, thoughtful, experienced, and caring professional. We strongly recommend.
Our dog Luna had a great time at Fit N Furry. We had to board her for the first time while out of town and she had a blast playing with the other dogs! She was provided house kibble and treats and we felt like she was in good hands. We even got a picture sent to us during her stay. The staff is friendly and professional. We will be back for sure!
We cannot recommend Fit n Furry’s training program enough! Marie has been our savior in getting our pup to actually be a member of the family and not just a little monster all the time. We continue to bring our dog in for daycare and the staff is always super friendly and helpful and our dog loves to go! If your dog is a little monster like ours was, fit n furry is the place to go!
I was very impressed by Fit ‘N’ Furrys customer service, and doggy day care’s staff and trainers. They were warm and welcoming every step of the way. When I came to pick up my pup after her first day of day care I was presented with a professionally taken photo of her (it is by far the best photo I have of her!) and a report card that was thoroughly filled out to inform me of my pups mood throughout the day in addition to handwritten notes on her actual performance throughout the day. I highly recommend!
Don’t board your dogs here! We scheduled our 2 pitbull mixes over Christmas for 2 nights. They required us to bring them in to get acclimated to the place which is fine. We asked them to not put them with other dogs just because animals can be unpredictable and we just want them to be safe. We told them one of our dogs can be sensitive to sound and she has been reactive in the past. We picked them up from the play day and they told us they were with employee dogs and it went very well. I was happy it went well but they never asked if that’s ok. I brushed it off…. We drop them off again for their Christmas stay and asked them to only let them play with employee dogs since it went very well and NO GROUPS! We come to pick them up after their stay and we find out they have been put in a group without our permission! Luckily everything went fine with that but one of our dogs came back with hives on her neck which we will have to take her to the vet for and my other dog was bleeding from one of his nails being cut too short. The front desk lady refunded me $50 for one of their baths. I called back and asked to talk to the owner James to share my experience and he just told me to sum it up that that’s their specialty integrating dogs, that he would talk to the staff and that he was sorry. He gave me absolutely no resolutions no discount for next time ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
It’s a dogs life is an amazing place to take your dog. I have brought my dogs here for about 3 years. They have lots of out door room for your dog to get that out side play they need. One of my dogs does not always like every dog and they fit to her needs very well. They have always treated my dogs as their own. There is always a family feeling when you drop your dog off which I love. I will always bring my dog back.
We took our dog here for boarding Mid April 2024 and it was a terrible experience. We started out optimistic. The front desk person was kind and the people who worked there seemed to enjoy the dogs but that was the extent of our good experience. Our dog is a 95 pound headstrong guy. He takes to certain types of dogs (easy going females) and dog people. Well we took him there for boarding while we went on vacation. He was boarded for 4 nights. We told the front person that he can get a little grumpy sometimes in situations that he doesn't feel like he is in control. They seemed to understand but I guess they just brushed off our advice. While we were on vacation no one called us so we assumed no news is good news. When we went to pick him up we found out that he had to be isolated because he was grumbling at people and only took to one of their handlers. They charged us extra for the isolation that they called "dog run" they didn't explain what that was when we went to pick him up. Their website specifically says "no hidden charges." What a lie. He was also scheduled to get a nail trim but they didn't follow through stating that he was too grumbly. When we scheduled said nail trim they told us they wouldn't have any issue doing it and they could handle dogs with his temperament without issue. The woman at the front that was telling me about these extra charges didn't take any responsibility for the way they treated our dog or for the fact that no one called us to inform us he was unhappy. I would have approved any additional charges if it would have helped him. We could have offered some tips and advice had they informed us what was going on. For 4 nights and 5 days we thought everything was fine and he was having a good time. When we went to the back to pick him up he was in a cage on their patio. He looked miserable and terrified till he saw me. When I put his leash and collar on (for some reason they remove the dog's collars for boarding which I assume added more anxiety to my dog) he couldn't get out of there fast enough. He ran through their building, out the front door, and immediately jumped into our car. He curled into a little ball which is a hard task for a near 100 pound dog to do. He was reclusive and cautious at home for several days after he got home. He seemed super fearful anytime we left the house and this dog isn't afraid of much. I certainly will never take my dog to this boarding ever again. If you love your dog I would suggest looking into a different boarding option for your buddy.
I guess the people who have left positive reviews don’t really care about their dog’s wellbeing. We started noticing the difference in what it used to be to now more so recently and then had an absolutely awful experience with an employee named Ingrid. It was made worse by her dismissive attitude after what happened and it started to make a little more sense later when my wife found some of her hateful comments on social media posts about certain breeds of dogs. Anyone who is considering entrusting this place with the care of your dog, just make sure that it isn’t on her list of dogs she hates or else they may be neglected due to her personal biases that keep her from doing her job.
It’s a dogs life does such a great job with our dog! He has boarded here several times for about a week and also a few long weekends. The staff are always laid back but very knowledgeable and caring - our pup seems to have a great time here! The grooming is also the best that we have found in the Petaluma area. What I also really appreciate is that they don’t nickel and dime you so that your pup can play with other dogs, get fresh air / potty time or if they need to have medication administered. It’s just a great stay for my dog all around and we appreciate the staff for that!
They have a very clean kennel. Lots of people dropping off and picking up there dogs. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It was great to see their products are made in the USA!
My dog loves this place and so do I! They are very knowledgeable and caring about all the animals. I have a frenchie who has special needs (like all frenchies do) and they do everything to accommodate! lol! Thankful for this spot!
We’ve been bringing our dogs here for about 10 years and have loved it so much even after moving further away, we still try to bring them here. Our dogs look forward to coming and we have such peace of mind knowing they’re at a safe and clean boarding that really takes good care of them.
Love these guys! Our dogs go a few times every week and always have a blast.
Doc had a great time at camp! Everyone was really nice. The shampoo they used for his bath smelled great and his skin was very hydrated too!
