Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $20/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Our Pomeranians seem to be very happy here. They are very well treated. Staff are proud of their work and quite devoted. First class service. Costly to provide ergo costly to take advantage of.
We took our now, 9 month old puppy to be groomed twice, including an overnight boarding the first time. We were worried about leaving her but our scheduling left us no other options. They did a great job. The place really is a pet resort! Their employee's were warm and sincere. They made us feel comfortable the very first visit there. Best of all is that she loved it! We can go and do whatever, knowing she is in good hands.
I was pleased with the care from Town & Country Pet Resort with my brand new puppy while I went to visit my mother They have playtime and cuddle time and your puppy can be groomed as well. I highly recommend them
Good boarding place. I really like how they post pictures of your dog on facebook. They are friendly and care about your animals. I will continue to use them for boarding. Their groomer is good to.
Doggie Day care went very well. 6 hours and our 9mo old Dal seemed pretty happy. Staff is great!
The best!! Our dogs love it there!! It was 1st time boarding our 4 month old pups and they had the best time!! Facility is immaculate with indoor/outdoor kennels (heated floors), secure play areas, and kind, caring, wonderful staff who go above and beyond. Great pricing and add-on services available. Cat boarding also available.
I always feel confident leaving my dogs here. It is a treat for them to be groomed while we are away, and I don’t feel guilty for leaving them for a few days because I know they are well taken care of.
Excellent. They helped me socialize and transform my terrified little Shih Tzu into a confident, loving, sweet boy through his grooming and kenneling stays.
We took our Great Pyrenees for her spring grooming. She was a mess and Town & Country Pet Resort turned her into a beautiful soft white fluffy dog! The facility is clean and inviting and the help is warm and welcoming. Will be returning to them again!
We left our Border Collie Daisy here for 6 days. She has never been away from us since she was born. The bordering area and play yard area is so super clean and no smell at all. They staff are very caring about the animals they have there and also very professional. We will be using them from now on when we have to be out of town.
I am so thankful to Vickie at BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! I am the kind of dog mom that puts my 2 boys Doug and Rusty (dachshunds) above myself. I set my house up so that THEY are happy and comfortable. I have a low bed,, doggie ramps everywhere and there are dog toys all over. I would say that they are a little spoiled ❤️🐾🐾❤️ I only trust a few people with my dogs. I recently moved to Fair Oaks. I searched online for pet sitting and called Vicky, the owner of Bow-Wow pet sitting and boarding. I asked many questions. I then looked at her reviews on Yelp and decided that I would give her a call back. She was able to take my dogs the next day. She was so great! My dogs were barking and have separation anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable with Vicky. She is very kind and obviously loves animals. Her house is set up perfectly - she can separate dogs if necessary but still see them, they are not locked away in a closed room. She had a big wonderful yard to play in. When I picked up my boys they were happy and not stressed. Now they WANT to go there! Even though I'm done moving I intend to to take them to Vicky's at least once a week because they love her and I don't take them in the car and leave them when running errands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VICKIE AND BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! She is reasonably priced and very accommodating. ******************!!!!💕
I am appalled at the neglect and inhumane treatment of my dog. We left my dog Roxxy there for the weekend over 4th of July. We made sure they were aware she was a rescue dog with anxiety, and we were guaranteed that our dog would not be left alone during the fireworks. After we got our dog home, that night we realized her mouth was severally injured. Apparently, she had been left outside in a metal crate during fireworks while the owners of Bow Pow Pet sitting went to the liquor store, and tried to chew her way out causing the damage to her mouth. Multiple teeth had been broken off, her gums were destroyed and she had literally chewed so long and hard the bone of her jaw was damaged. We were never notified that our dog had been injured under their care, we had to wait to find out when we got her back, and with the extent of the injury being as bad as it was I have a hard time believing there were no signs of blood or injury when it happened. The surgery to fix my dog's mouth was over $3,500, which Bow Wow Pet sitting never even tried to repay. I felt the owners of Bow Wow pet sitting were unprofessional and down right negligent to have let this happen. To top it all off, after multiple complaints from us they still have pictures of my dog on their website, against my approval, to advertise their business. Usually I am not one to write angry online reviews but I feel strongly that they were negligent towards my dog.
My dogs were well taken care of in a family style environment. Both had individual needs and their needs were well taken care of. Was so pleased with the great care both dogs received! Recommend!
Great attentive people who are dedicated to every animal they come across. Reasonable prices for the amount of service you receive. They always go above and beyond for their customers and our pets.
My dog loves this place his friends all go there
Bow Wow pet sitting the dogs can run around and play with other its like pershool
Best place to put your dogs
Very accommodating,.l
Happy pets stay here
Vickie is great
They always do a wonderful job for us. You can't go wrong with Dolly and Mary. They are experienced and have taken care of our pets for many years.
Mary has been there for us in the drop off a hat. My husband requires treatment in SF and we literally have given Mary just hours notice that we need her and she never hesitates to be there. It's nice not to have to worry about my fur babies with her. They're in excellent hands. And she sends me pics of them which cheers me up. She also goes above and beyond with specific things needing to be done at the house (specific lights on, checking mail, garbage can day, etc.) I highly recommend her services, she's been incredible.
Mary watched our 7 cats while we were on vacation, and she did an amazing job! I got pictures of all kitties each day so I could see that they were ok. I could tell that she was nice to them because in the pictures, they really liked her. They enjoyed her company very much. She also made a photo collage of each kitty for me as a nice gift. It gave us a piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her services again in the future!
I feel so fortunate to have found Mary to provide care for my dog Doorstop while I am at work. She deeply cares for animals and is super reliable. I feel very comfortable and at ease, knowing that she is there to help. Doorstop loves his walks with Mary!!
Mary is the best sitter! She is very attentive, professional, affordable, and send me tons of update pictures so I didnt miss my kitty too badly while I was away.
If you are looking for a reliable and professional pet sitter. Look no further! We used Mary many, many times over several years and were never disappointed. The dog always went away with us but kitty stayed home and Mary visited daily, keeping Kitty fed and watered and loved! Sometimes we even got videos of Kitty’s play time. Although we no longer have our sweet old Kitty, we cannot recommend Mary any more highly! If you love your cat(s), you will love Mary! ♥️
We had Mary watch our cats and fish while we were gone on vacation. We are so thankful that we did. One of cat's became ill and Mary took her to vet for us, dealt with long phone calls and wait time. She kept us up to date on her condition through text messages and videos. She basically saved our cat's life and we owe her a debt of gratitude. She took special care of our ill cat and the others... We truly appreciate Mary and the service she provides...
Finding someone you trust to take care of a pet while you’re gone tends be stressful and difficult. I have a rescue cat who is a shy and nervous little guy. Because of his disposition, I didn’t want to board him and instead wanted to keep him home in a place he was comfortable and familiar with. Between his and my separation anxiety, I was really anxious about finding someone who would take care of him while my husband and I went on vacation. I am so beyond thankful I found Mary. Her initial house visit immediately put me at ease. We sat down and discussed everything, from the scheduled visits right down to every little detail. Her attention to detail and thoroughness of everything is really amazing. I wanted someone who would spend time with my cat instead of just “come to feed then leave,” so the fact there were options for the amount of time spend per visit was so appreciated. She also offered to take care of additional small tasks around the house while we were out, like watering plants and take out the trash, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. I knew she was a perfect fit when she got a few pets in from my cat — without a single treat !! I knew he was in the best possible hands. Mary was so wonderful while we were gone. She sent pictures and video updates with each visit so I could see how he was doing (the photo uploaded is one she sent me). She was communicative, responsive, and professional, and I am thrilled to have a go-to sitter whom I truly trust. I cannot recommend Mary or her business highly enough. Thank you Mary !!
We"ve trusted Mary's care for our pets for almost 2 years She's our go to person when we need a pet sitter. Very responsible and her prices for all that she does most importantly to us when we're away our peace of mind is all worth it. We would highly recommend Mary to all our friends & family.
We highly recommend Mary’s Pet Project! Mary came in twice a day for visits with our kitty, Lucy while we were away on our first get away since COVID hit. This was also the first vacation in many years that we were able to really relax because we knew that Lucy was being taken care of so well. Mary sent photos & videos & that was so much appreciated. We love that she tailored her services to our special needs. She was so great with Lucy. It was the first time that Lucy was so calm when we arrived home. Mary also took care of the neighborhood kitty that sleeps on our porch. She made certain to give our home the ‘we are at home’ look & even placed our garbage cans out. Thank you Mary for your kindness, professionalism & a wonderful pet sitting experience.We will definitely use your services again!😻
Our cat is very affectionate and likes attention and being around people at all times. She does not like being left alone. After moving to California 4 years ago, we were searching for a pet sitter. The Humane Society of Stanislaus County recommended Mary's Pet Project after hearing good things about her. She deals with all sorts of animals. My wife and I travel often, sometimes overseas, and need reliable visits to our cat. I was impressed that Mary maintains detailed files about every pet, including Vet and medication info if required. Mary texts updates, including videos of a kitty who is happy at receiving regular visits. She deals with all pet related cleaning, grabs the mail, and takes care of lights and other household adjustments. I would highly recommend her services.
Emily is a God send for nervous fur mommas (and dads’) I’ve never left my little Ike with anyone but family, so I was very apprehensive leaving him when our entire family went on vacation together. We did a meet and greet with Emily and her fur family and I was put at ease. Throughout our vacation she sent me daily updates and pictures of Ike which made me feel so much better knowing that he was being taken well care of and loved. Her rates are more than reasonable for what she provides and I plan on using Comfy Paws for future drop offs and extended vacations. You can be rest assured that your pup will be absolutely well taken care of when they are in her care.
We had a fantastic experience with Emily - both of our dogs were well taken care of the whole time. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and tailored care to all needs she identified. I loved the regular pictures she sent - it put us completely at ease with leaving our dogs in her care. We will absolutely call her again for any dog sitting needs. Thank you thank you!!
Emily was so wonderful with my dog over the weekend! Very communicative and sent me lots of photos! It really helped me feel at ease while being out of town. I will absolutely be using her in the future.
Emily and her family are wonderful! My dog just loves her and her sweet dog. Emily takes really good care and sends pictures. She is willing to work with me and my schedule fairly and promptly. I’m so grateful to have a loving home to have my dog boarded when I’m away. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Emily was so great with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Her communication was awesome, and she even sent us pictures and videos of our dogs so we could see how happy they were. Our dogs loved their time at Comfy Paws! We highly recommend it!
Emily is a true animal lover. She understands that our dogs are our children and is happy to send updates throughout the day. My dog Josie loves to spend time with Emily and I just know she is well taken care of when she goes there. I just wish there were other dogs there for her to play with, that's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
Emily is so wonderful! I always get updates on how our pup is doing. He is so happy when he stays with her.
I am so grateful to have found Emily! From the initial ‘meet and greet’ we knew she would take excellent care of our 1 year old, high energy pup! She kept me updated constantly over our 10 day vacation and put my mind as ease to know our pup was being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who does not want to board their fur babies in a large facility, but wants to know they will continue to be loved and cared for in their absence.
Comfy Paws has been taking care of our Sadie for several months. Sadie loves to go to Comfy Paws. We know this because of how excited Sadie gets everytime we drop her off. She gets walked several times a day and she comes home tired. Picture of tired Sadie included.
Emily is a great dog minder. She’s cared for our big dog many times. We never feel guilty dropping him off with her as he LOVES going there. She’s also super responsive and great at sending pic/video updates.
Love this place! They are so awesome. Paradise Doggie Daycare takes great care of your dog and treats them like family. Our fur baby has anxiety and he did very well with them. So glad we found such a wonderful place with wonderful people. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone.
My four-legged, 80 lb. boy is a handful of energy and excitement. He LOVES his "play dates" and grooming sessions at Doggie Paradise. He's been boarded there and the staff are professional, wonderful, caring animal lovers and I for one am very appreciative of their services
Took my daughters dog, baby to this facility. She was soo happy. Good prices and they helped us get her claws trimmed and bathed. They also can send you pics. This is one of them that I received below.
Day care for my Ellie has been wonderful. The people there are so kind.
Best care you could hope to find for your dog(s). I've known the owner, Tine, for a long time. She trains all her people how to correctly care for the dogs. They are loving and caring while setting appropriate boundaries. Plus, it's clean!
I can’t say enough good things about this place. We are from out of town and needed day care for our 13 year old mostly blind and deaf jack russell terrier mix. When we called, they were so welcoming. They invited us to come check out the place prior to leaving our dog. When we arrived we were pleased with the set up, cleanliness, number of staff working, and security cameras. The owner is on site and very pleasant. As our guy was too old to hang out in the small dog play area, they offered to keep him in the reception area with the staff. We were so pleased with this offer. Jacky spent the day and when we picked him up, he was in good spirits (land slept most of the evening. Be prepared to show proof of vaccination. Bottom line: great place, welcoming staff, good price. We felt good leaving our beloved dog with them.
Friendly and professional. My pup had a wonderful time. Great place! I highly recommend
We had left our puppy there for the very first time for three hours and when we went to pick him up he was completely covered in urine. Gross.
Extremely clean and well kept. The girls at Paradise care for the dogs like each dog was their own. Even though I only left my 3 year old terrier for a couple hours (she has separation anxiety) when I picked her up she was very content and comfortable with the girls. They took special care to make sure Sammi was comfortable.
We have we only been there once so far. Staff was really nice but I really would have been more comfortable if I could have seen the area my fur babies were taken to. It was described to me: yes, I am a helicopter mom. I was hoping google would have shown some pictures but only close ups of the dogs. I'm pretty sure I'll give it a 5 start once I'm more comfortable. When I picked up the dogs, they were more than ready to leave after an hour play time. They need time to adjust as well. I'm getting older and they need more play than I can give them daily. I think this will be a good option for them.
We've used Happy Tails several times for cat-care, typically twice-daily visits. Usually our sitter is Rachel, and she's fabulous with our pets. We love the daily updates and confident knowing that she is able to medicate our one feisty younger boy. Highly recommend!
Cheryl is wonderful with our dog Bentley. We get daily reports with pictures. We think he has more fun at her house than ours with all the other dogs he gets to play with. We love knowing he's in good hands and isn't stressed out at a kennel. And Jesse is lovely with our kitten. We come home and our kitten is happy, the litter boxes are clean, the mail has been brought in, and the plants have been watered. And we know someone has been keeping a daily eye on our home. Great peace of mind!
We’ve used this company’s service several times now. All the sitters have been super. We’ve had someone do checks on our kitten, play and feed her. Another time we had someone stay overnight with our puppy and kitten. And another time private boarded our puppy at a sitter’s home. Every time we came back to happy, well cared for pets. All the sitters were respectful and responsible. Great peace-of-mind. We will definitely continue to use them.
Happy Tails Pet Sitting and Tamara gave me peace of mind that my 3-month old puppy would be well taken care. He was fed, played with and loved. Soiled bedding thrown in the washer. I received photos of him playing and an update with each visit. No doubt Happy Tails will be called on in the future.......
This was my first time using Happy Tails. Lindsay was my live in pet/house sitter. My cat is very shy but took to Lindsay immediately. Lindsay sent me updates and photos while I was gone so I had total peace of mind. I also came home to a very clean house. I will definitely use them again!
I took my puppies over there for the first time and they loved it! Tamara was very sweet and caring with them. The place allows them to play, sleep and be around other dogs (socialize) in a safe manner. It's convenient, and it's affordable.
Amazing place!! The facility is great, in the heat of the summer to have an air conditioned space for chows is a must. Tamara was beyond helpful. This was the third place I tried as I was having surgery and, I NEVER board my dogs so it was getting stressful. I had to leave them for a day and I immediately knew I’d found the spot just because I was having trouble getting them into the yard (because of my hip) and one of them slipped out of his collar and got away. Tamaras husband jumped in without hesitation and helped me round him up. Most places I know aren’t even comfortable with having them so to see him react immediately without a hint of apprehension was reassuring. As it turned out, a friend came up to stay with me for recovery so they were able to stay home this time. I’ll be having to go in again next year so I’ll definitely be taking them back!!
We are so happy that we picked Happy Tail Pet Sitting. Tamara and Jerry are really good and reliable on taking care of our Blu. Its so cool that Tamara updated us with pictures of our dog Blu. We can tell that our dog enjoyed his stay with them and he even gave them a thank you kiss💋 as we were leaving...
Our experience with Jessie has been amazing. It’s so nice to leave when you know your dog is in such good hands. She is reliable and always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. We appreciate her care very much.
Great people and very responsive. We had to head out of town on short notice, but they were flexible in finding us a good fit for our two pups for pet sitting. One of our labs can be a pain and the Happy Tails Petsitting crew was patient and understanding. Great experience with them!
I took my dog who was recovering from her second TPLO surgery to the pool for rehabilitation. I had the pool to myself. Took my dog a little while to get the idea but she eventually swam around. Entry and exit ramp was a bit of a challenge though.
So, looking at the other reviews we notice a lot of reviews ranging from 4-5 stars, looking pretty good right? Then we notice a review from only 6 months ago about a dog getting brutally attacked and the owner blaming it on the dog. Not very professional. Then I decided to vote for best of amador in the category of pet boarding service and called them to ask about their business and the man who answered was slightly rude and was asking who I was and why I need to know about their business. Definitely don’t recommend taking your dog.
Took my heeler here awhile back for his first dock diving class. He has had tons of obedience training prior and was a demonstration dog in dog training classes for about 4 years. This was his first experience in any sort of water classes. Class started good but the trainer (i don't remember her name) had a crappy attitude and even called my dog a jerk when he was getting overly excited. I cannot give my business to people who treat dogs like this. I definitely won't be back and do not recommend this place.
🔴🔴ATTENTION 🔴🔴 If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I took my dog in, (2 year old pure bread husky) and while I was dropping him off. He was attacked and was rushed to the vet. This place is super unprofessional and very rude on how they handle customers. I’ve taken my dog here 2 times and have felt nothing but attitude from the employees. My dog was bitten by another dog on the property and after confronting the owner or employee, they began to tell me it was my dogs fault for being bit. And also being told it’s my fault for having poor judgment for putting him in the crate that was labeled for us. I have a video showing that my dog did nothing wrong and the dog in the crate next to him was barking like crazy before we even walked in the building and being very aggressive. Please if you love you dog and want them to be in a safe environment DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE. This place is unprofessional and unorganized. I’m up to 700$ in vet bills and they don’t want to take responsibly because they know they reliable. I’m only posting because I don’t want this to happen to any other dogs. But this is not the place to go for boarding. If you love your dog go to another place.
Extremely rude. Called just to see if they had good services and I was asked “who is this and why are you asking” in an extremely rude matter. On top of all the dogs being attacked. This place deserves to be shut down and put out of business until they know how to do their jobs and not be rude. Work on some professional training with your employees and then maybe everyone will know how to do their job.
We took our dogs there several years ago and the man that was in charge was so rude to us. Just his attitude. He wouldn't show us where the dogs would sleep, if they were able to roam etc. His tone was hateful. If we weren't suppose to be somewhere we would've grabbed our dogs and left. We have never been back!
At first I had mixed feelings about using an e-collar on our 1 1/2 year old labradoodle . Gold Country kept him for 5 weeks and he still pulled on the leash but has gotten much better over time. Without their training and carryover instructions for us we wouldn't have been able to handle 77 lb "Ranger ." He's a handful and with the proper use of the e-collar and constant reminding, he is a pretty good dog and easier to live with. The updates were ok, would have liked more.
Great dock diving show, and my dog got her title!
Great people and a very safe and welcoming environment. Being new I was a little nervous but the capable staff made me feel like I learned a lot in just one lesson of dock diving. We have also tried the barn hunt and it was a great way to learn. An amazing place all around.
Pretty nice location, single lane dirt road to get to dock area. Good pool setup for dock diving, and a judge who is very attentive. Remember that there are strange ppl and dogs at these events and you should keep your distance from them to stay safe. Bring your own shade. On the hottest days of they year they take shorter breaks to get done early. Nice to have 3 dives done by noon.
I drive from Reno to have "Auntie Cheri" take care of my 2 furbabies. They are always happy to see her & all worn out when it's time to go home. This is the BEST caring place EVER!🐾💞🐾 …
A Bed and Biscuit is great! Our dogs love it there and Cherie, the owner, loves dogs (and cats) and takes great care of all her guests. Kennels are spacious, well equipped, and there's lots of play time and free roam for the pooches. Plus, Cherie lives on site, a hard requirement for us. I won't leave our pets at a place that does not have someone on site 24/7. Highly recommended!
Cheri treats all the dogs like they were her own. Highly recommend bringing your pet here to try it out. We have been coming here for years, my dog is happy to go and happy when he returns home. Hours are convenient and she's flexible if you are in a bind. We get videos of our dog so that we can see all the fun he is having while we vacation. Can't say enough great things❤️
My girls have been there twice and both times they returned wagging their tails with joy.
Cheri is great with my dog. I feel good about leaving him for short playcare days or long vacations! She is also very reasonable in price. Thank you! Dodie L.
I have left my little Abby at Bed and Biscuit on several occasions. I am super happy with the treatment she recieved.she had a great time and was treated like a member of the family. I highly recommend Bed and Biscuit.
Sadly they don't take dogs over the weight of 30 pounds. But they were wonderful enough to give Recommended places.
We have used this Kennel for several years. I am so sad that they can’t accept dogs over I think 45 pounds anymore. We will miss this kennel.
Best doggie day care and best place for fur babies to stay while family on short/long vacations
Cherie is wonderful! Great with our two dogs.
Bonnie cared for our 2 dogs while we visited Yosemite. They were both super happy to be there even though they are very different personalities. Our older dog needed to be kept calm due to an injured hip and Bonnie did a great job. You can hardly tell she is injured. And our younger dog got to play to her hearts content! Thank you Bonnie for being here and providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs!
We boarded our Pitty with Bonnie just before Christmas for two nights while we explored Yosemite NP and it was a great experience. We were a little worried going in, as a few days prior to our trip stay our pup suffered a pretty bad leg sprain and we were concerned she might injure herself further during puppy play. Bonnie was awesome, and even sent us a couple of email messages during our trip to let us know that our dog was doing well, which we really appreciated.
Very impressed with the care and love. We visited Yosemite with peace of mind knowing our shih tzu was in good hands. Dog heaven
Bonnie is amazing! She took excellent care of our pup! Great price and close to Yosemite. Our pup left happy! We will use her again! She even worked with out pick up times too!
So glad to have found this place. Left my pup, Milo here for 4 days while exploring Yosemite and he had the best time in the large yard and in Bonnie's care. Bonnie made me feel so at peace with trusting my pup in her hands. Great communicator, she had everything confirmed a month out and already has our booked for the next time we are returning. Better than any kennel or dog hotel I've ever found. Thank you for everything!
We did a last moment daycare when we were visiting this area for our doggo. The owner was extremely kind & loving. She took care of our doggo Milo very well & accommodated changes in our schedule very gracefully too. We felt happy & safe leaving our doggo. We 100% recommend this place
Bonnie took great care of our Josie. About 5 or 6 dogs getting along. When it gets hot, Bonnie brings them in. Both days when we picked up the dogs were inside, not kenneled just hanging out. If you want to do something and doggie can't go, this is worth the extra time and $$.
Bonnie is a very nice, trustworthy person and you can tell she loves dogs a lot. Your pup will be in good hands with Bonnie. We would highly recommend her!
Best place to kennel your dog on Groveland/Yosemite. Bonnie takes excellent care of our dogs, been using her service for over a decade and always reliable, trustworthy, attentive and caring. Highly recommend!
Best boarding place ever. Bonnie was great and able to to get my little Zoey in on short notice. I felt very comfortable leaving Zoey there for a few days while we enjoyed Yosemite. Bonnie made the process easy and I would definitely take Zoey there again. Highly recommend Big Creek Boarding. Thanks again!
This was our first time having to board our American bulldog Stormy. I was very excited but nervous as well. Alexis and Dawson were so welcoming and took great care of my baby girl! The facility is welcoming and I was given the option to bring things for my dog to be comfortable or nothing at all as they had it taken care of. I will absolutely be using them again in the future! If I could rate a 10 star I would! Thank you DPP!!
We left our dog Walter here whilst we went for a long weekend away. It was the first time we had left him since getting him and we were worried as he is blind and deaf. The lady we spoke to however was really understanding and reassured us that he would be well cared for whilst we were away. When we picked him up, he was really happy (and tired!) and she even gave us a summary of how he'd eaten and friends he made. Overall, a great experience, especially for nervous owners! We'll definitely be using them again next time we're away.
This was our first time bringing our pup to Darby's Pet Paradise and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our Shepherd/Husky mix is 7 months old so we haven't had her too long but we were going on a trip for 2 weeks and wanted her to be able to play and socialize while we were gone. They were very communicative and helpful from the beginning. And PJ was so amazing with our sweet girl. It took her a couple of days to settle in but after that, she had the best time and was cared for beyond what we could've ever hoped for. We will definitely be bringing her back for any future travel and hopefully they will be doing daycare in the future as she loved playing with the other dogs there. Thanks again Darby's Pet Paradise!!!
Great place to kennel my dog. Due to overbooking in my own area and a four day convention in the Modesto area I contacted Darby`s and booked. I was not disappointed. The 1st thing noticed was a mistake made by my vet of missing a rabies vaccine. I'd been in for shots the week before. Corrections made I arrived to a very clean facility. The conclusion was a early pick-up on Sunday with the bribery of two chocolate chip cookies from the hotel I was allowed to pick-up three hours early. Great facilities highly recommend .
Vanessa did a great job in providing care for our pup. Would strongly recommend to anyone needing boarding for their dogs. The environment was peaceful and clean. Our pup was happy to be there. I look forward to taking our pup their again. Thanks!
Vanessa and Tiffany are both caring, nice and love animals. Easy reservation and flexible with your schedule.
I left my dog there this weekend and the facility was clean and organized. The staff was friendly and you could clearly see their love for animals from the way they treated our dog. I would definitely use them again. Our dig returned home happy and healthy.
Our dog Koda seemed really happy when we picked him up! It was obvious that he was well taken care of and not just locked up in a kennel. Everything was professionally done from check in to pick up! We know our pet who is part of our family was safe and well taken care of while we were away!
Boarded my 2 dogs at Darby's and one has never been boarded before. I was so worried about him but once he got here he was running around so happy. Picked them and they looked like they had a great time. Owners were amazing and took great care of my babies.
I tried using this boarding service . Let’s just say 1st of all they don’t seem to answer their phone during the hours they are open. I had to call a couple days in a row. Second of all I knew my cat needed to get shots but I almost noticed that on pet paradise site it says the shots needed to be done and after 48 hours so I asked on of the sisters if they could wave that? I explained my cat is a 100% indoor cat. She said don’t worry I totally understand we can wave it. The day I was going to bring cat I was at vet when I had called to make sure I could bring cat . The other sister answered and rudely said I cannot accept the cat. It has to be over 48 hours of getting shots. I explained once again the Vet even piped in why? If your cat is 100% indoor cat never been near another cat I don’t see issue. But to no avail. I’m sure they might be great with pets but when one tells you one thing and then supposedly questions her sister and her sister doesn’t cop to it makes you think. They are seemed to be the perfect place but everything is not what it seems! I understand the rules of what’s posted on website that’s exactly why I asked one of the sisters about waving that. I was told I must of miss understood what she said. I’ve been in business for over 40 years believe me no reason to miss understand. Thanks
