Cat Sitters in Monson, CA

I brought my very spoiled rabbit to VIP & they kept her in an air conditioning area, where she was kept very well. I highly recommend VIP to care for any of my pets! 💯 % happy with their services. Thank you …

This place is the absolute BEST!!!!!! Every time we leave our “Gracie Lou” there when going on vacation, she comes back as happy and as healthy as can be. The staff is as awesome at taking care of the pets needs as well as the “fur parents” that drop em off! We’re very protective over our little Princess, and wouldn’t dream of ever taking her anywhere else to be cared for, neither should you! I actually wish that I was born with an extra set of hands, so I could give this place 4 Thumbs up!!!!!!! 👍❤️👍

Amazing staff and place. My dog has been going here for the last couple of months when I’m out of town for work or a weekend trip. She’s always returned healthy and exhausted the day of pick up

The only place I trust with our German Shepherd. They take great care of him every time and even got him to be around other dogs (which he's not so great with). We are so appreciative of the friendly staff and everything they do. We tried another boarding place during the holidays because VIP was booked and noticed a huge difference. VIP is the best place to care for your animal family while you're away. 100% recommend VIP.

Excellent !! The staff is friendly the facility is clean all of the dogs looked well cared for my English Bulldog is my baby and she was well taken care of ! Now when I am out of town I don’t have to worry because VIP pet is a clean, safe, and loving place ! Thank You VIP ! I will continue to utilize you !

Elizabeth & her staff are absolutely amazing! They make me and my pets feel like family. My dog and kitty love staying here and they behave better for them then at home! I wouldn’t board my pets anywhere else! Highly recommended! 😃 …

They take great care of our shy/anxious dogs - they were able develop trust with our German shepherd who has separation anxiety & doesn't trust people easily & he's always so excited to go see his friends here! Very kind people that care about the animals a lot, I never worry about leaving my dogs here - this is the best place in the area!

I took my 7 month old cat to this kennel. (I have never had to use a kennel prior to this) I read the reviews and decided to book with them. From the beginning they were very responsive making sure she was up to date on shots etc. When I went to drop her off I was so nervous but when I got there I saw nothing but calm happy animals. The cat area only had one other cat and my cat and her bonded right away. I left there feeling good about my decision. When I picked her up she started meowing she didn’t want to leave! I also was able to text and check in on her. I highly recommend! Thank you VIP, I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my kitty was in good hands. 😻😻

Stella always come home happy! I love that we are encouraged to call and check on her while she's there. Staff is awesome!

This is the first boarding location I have ever used & will never use another as long as they still exist! My dog has been there for three different extended stays now & most of the time she's having so much fun she doesn't really seem to care about coming home :) She had been attacked by another dog (NOT here!) prior to her first stay here & had been apprehensive around other dogs after that. I was nervous how she would react when I brought her here the first time. I explained her situation to the owner who knew just how to handle it & found her a perfect group to socialize with. Now she has regular friends there when she visits! I don't ever worry for a second while she's there. They also wash the bedding before sending her home! Such a relief to have found this place.

The manager who runs the facility is a very sweet man. My dog was at ease when I came to pick him up. This place provided me with a piece of mind to enjoy my last minute travel plans. Highly affordable. If you get referred by another customer you and your friend get a free day! Can't complain with that.

My dogs are always very well taken care of by Dave. It's a great environment for my fur babies.

I noticed the only low rating came recently from a poster talking about customer service. Let me just say that I couldn’t disagree more! I just had a surprise trip pop up last week and he made space for my boyos on a Holiday weekend! For those of you who don’t board frequently you usually have to book that months in advance to get a spot! The caretaker is a very nice man and we are super picky about where we would leave our boys! Facilities are nice with plenty of room and the dogs love it there playing with the other dogs. One of the best and only facilities in the area I would leave my dogs.

My parents and I have been taking our dogs here for a few years anytime we go out of town. The manager is such a sweet guy and you can tell he loves dogs. Is it the Hyatt for dogs? No. BUT my dogs don't need some place super fancy to stay at, as long as they are being cared for, getting attention, and in a safe and comfortable place. We will always take our dogs here as long as we are living in the area. My Golden gets so excited when we pull up to the kennel and let him out, he's like "bye mom, see ya whenever". I would 100% recommend Visalia Country Kennel!

Dave is so helpful and accommodating. The prices are perfect (we have 3 dogs) We will be continuing to bring our pups here when we travel! Highly recommend.

The man who runs the kennel is very friendly and accomodating. My cat was very content when I picked her up, and obviously well cared for. The price was also affordable.

We have brought our German Shepherd here for years and have always been very happy with the man who runs the kennel, and the facility, and it is a very fair price as well.

Dave is wonderful and so good with the animals! The rates are great and I never worry about my dogs when we are out of town.

Called for quote and the guy hung up on us. We told him we are moving and need a place for our dogs while we buy a new house and he said he can't help us because he runs into problems and hung up on us...no customer service!

Dave is a grade individual that cares for animals very kind and helps you accommodate your dog/cat

The best dog sitting service ever. Heather, Becca and Teresa have always taken excellent care of our dogs. I like the updates they send us with each visit. We even get pictures. Their visits are usually pretty long and they make sure the animals are back in our care on the day service ends. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my Bentley. We go abroad a lot and the dogs are always clean and happy when we arrive. Thank you so much for your tender loving care. We love you guys.

Tender Loving Animal Care has always been so accommodating with our pets. The pet sitters are always respectful and great with our pups. One of our pups is very hesitant with strangers and can be very protective of the house, yet the sitters are always patient with him and handle him exactly as requested. We have had many last minute dog sitting needs and they have always accommodated us. Thank you for making vacations and trips away from home so much less stressful!

I love these people!! Becca takes such good care of my babies. I tried a different pet sitting service and they were awful. So grateful for Tender Loving Animal Care.

TLAC is easy to work with and great at taking care of my fur babies. Their prices are very reasonable and I feel secure knowing our dogs are taken care whenever we are out of town. I highly recommend TLAC as a pet sitter.

The awesome team at Tender Loving Animal Care were simply awesome from start to finish doting our recent two-week vacation. Each of the four care providers for our kitty arrived on schedule and took outstanding care of our cat as evidenced by the photos they provided and the post visit texts they each sent. My wife and I experienced zero issues communicating with TKAC’s staff from half-way around the world. We made a couple of minor requests that were immediately honored and carried out. The billing process was accurate and fair. My Wife and I felt no worries at all with Tender Loving Animal Care visiting our home while caring for our cat. We intend on more travel and TLAC is the right answer for our pets are whenever we go out of town. Thanks Belinda, you have an excellent crew! 🎎

They've taken care of my dogs several times now while I've been away on trips and I'm very happy with their services. Thankful to have this option available when we're not able to take the dogs with us, no need to drop them off or pick them up anywhere, the dogs get to stay home where they're comfortable, and they are well taken care of while we're away. Great job every time!

I would recommend TLAC to anyone! Knowing they are there to take care of my cats relieves so much stress while I travel for work. They are so quick to respond and understanding that schedules can be unpredictable.

My husband and I are both active duty military. Trying to find a pet sitter has always been difficult. The service and flexibility of TLACs staff is impeccable. We have two huskies and a cat and they are always very well taken of when we go out of town. Highly recommend!

Tender Loving Animal Care has taken amazing care of our three pups. They are always so dependable and so loving on our pet family members. I can’t recommend them enough!! They’re the best!!

I love TLAC! We used them a ton when we first got our puppy and needed help with taking him out during the day when my husband and I were at work. Everybody was always so great with our dog and great with sending updates and pictures from their walks/visits. I always felt like our dog was in great hands with them!

Love this place! We left all 3 of our fur babies 2 - dogs and a cat. They of course were happy to see us, but they were well taken care of! My new home away from home for these three! Shirley was knowledgeable about their needs and the facility was great!

My first experience as well as my dog's first boarding. Even though my beloved dog turns out to jump fences, the staff are lovely and I recommend the facility without reserve. I visited several and this one is clean and calm.

This was the first time that we have ever boarded one of our animals and it was a great experience. What helped reassure us, was the fact that they are very strict on being up to date on all shots and flea/tick medications. They also are very strict with cleaning everything daily. This gives you the peace of mind that your dog will not come home sick. There is also a lot of room for the dogs to play and interact. We will definitely be using Best Friends Inn again.

Dependable and Trustworthy kennel that we have been using for the last 5 years. We have two large dogs and Shirley and her team can handle them safely and competently. There's a large space for dogs to roam and even a doggy pool. Every 2 hours the dogs get to go outside. Shirley is very thorough with requiring vaccination records and flea and tick control and my dogs always return home healthy. Thank you, Shirley and the team.

Shirley is THE BEST. I have been using her for 8 years now. What I love most is when we go to drop off our dogs, they are always excited to go, never afraid. They claw to get out of the car to see her.

Your best friends inn has been our go to for our fur baby Toby for the last almost year now. They are absolutely wonderful and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Our little guy stayed for about two month due to my husband and I relocating overseas and they took the best care of him and helped us tremendously with anything we needed for him until it was time for him to come with us. It is such a friendly, warm environment for you and your pet as soon as you pull up. Highly recommend.

Our dog loves it there. Very professional and safe. The fact that our dog gets excited, wags it tail and greets the people working there speaks volumes. Our dog is very social and is provided quite a bit of time playing with other dogs when she is there.

When I dropped off my dog, I did not believe that this establishment was too bad. I wasn’t welcomed back to see where my dog would be sleeping but Shirley appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy. Key word: appeared. My dog was there November 2017 for four nights. She sent pictures on a couple of days but I was never notified that things were a concern. However when I went to pick up my pet, I was told he did well except at night. She told me he barked too much at night and in her words “kept the whole kennel up” so she had to use a training collar on him. I inquired as to what that was. She told me it was a collar that made a high pitched noise every time he barked but in her words “he was too sensitive for that one” and began to bite at it. He was too sensitive for that one so she tried another one. The next type of collar she used was the shock method so she would manually control it by zapping him every time he barked. She said that one “worked much better.” I was stunned when she told me this. She did not call to ask permission nor did I sign anything prior giving my permission to use such a device. Somebody who works with animals all day and has made that her career should know that shocking our animals when we have entrusted them to her care is nothing more than animal abuse.

We found Shirley and her Best Friends Inn after relocating to Three Rivers. This is the best home away from home for any pet. Shirley and her Staff treat our little Dog (Child) Tootsie like one of their own. When we ask Tootsie if she wants to go and have a play day at the doggie motel she gets so excited and follows us around until we get into the truck to take her. Tootsie is a long hair Chihuahua that is a one woman dog, until she meet Shirley, now Tootsie has two Mamas. Best Friends Inn is more than just a boarding facilities, we are able to a vacation and not worry about the care our Tootsie is receiving. Not only do they have play time put also get to swim when the weather is right. When we pick up Tootsie she is just as happy as when we dropped her off, even after being gone two weeks. After we get home Tootsie has to rest awhile from all the fun she had but is always ready to go back and stay again. Thanks Shirley and Staff Steve & Shirley S.

A great place!! I take my cat all the time. Shirley is caring and on top of the needs of your best friend!

Pet Haven always takes great care of my pets. I recently took my handsome boy Jedi as it was his first birthday. Pet Haven did an awesome job and my baby was well taken care of while he was there. Everyone that works there is nice and friendly. Thank you Pet Haven.

Amazing would 100% be back! Even though we didn’t have an appointment they tried to fit us in! They did an amazing job doing my dogs hair! They are so friendly and seem like they genuinely love what they do!!

Boarded my two pitbulls (3 yrs & 6 months) for 5 days and everyone was so helpful and nice! They loved having my sweet babies. No breed discrimination here ❤️

I Love to take my dog out to have her nails. She loves it. .the price is great. Thank you.

The staff was deliberatly deceptive with the rates they quoted. None of the documents in the registration packet we received had a different rate. We asked lots of questions and staff knew our dogs were staying over night for 5 consecutive days. The rate was quoted both verbally and in writing. Yet, when we picked up the dogs on the fifth day, was the first time they mention an overnight stay is twice as much. That was very unexpected. For as much as they charged, they could have at least brushed their fur, but no, they both smelled and had lots of shedding. Needless to say, we will not be returning. We do not appreciate deception. If I could leave a zero star, I would've.

In Dinuba, they were great but something changed when they moved to Reedley. The Dinuba shop was perfect. Always friendly and did a perfect job. That’s what I came to expect. Coco was always happy to go and full of excitement to be there. Then when they moved to Reedley, the friendliness declined, they didn’t take good notes on how I wanted her groomed. I have decided to look for another groomer. I just wish they hadn’t moved. Not sure what changed. Oh well.

The first time I went it was around $80 for my long haired dog w an undercoat to get groomed, a haircut, etc. The second time for the exact same thing it was around $110, and that time they didn't even detangle her tail, left a huge shaving line down her back, and only shaped one ear. I guess it's a hit or miss for price and quality. Very kind staff, my dog didn't get overly stressed from going here.

They do an amazing job. I just can't afford it very often. Instead of every 6 weeks, Stanley gets groomed about 2 time a year.

I have a chihuahua and it was her first time getting groomed. She was so scared but they made her feel so comfortable.The staff was so friendly and amazing.

I've taken my dog there for her nails and 3 times out of 4 they have cut them to short making her bleed and the lady at the front told me that it doesn't hurt when they cut the nerves she straight out lied to my face.....never again will I go there!! ZERO STARS IF I COULD!!!!!

Best place to bring your pup for an overnight stay. My dog loves it here and is always excited at drop off. The kennels are in an AC building.

I wish there were more stars to give Amanda and her wonderful pet boarding facility. Amanda is so sweet and genuinely cares about your pets. We have two 5 month old puppies and I was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Amanda answered all of my questions promptly when deciding where to leave our puppies and her prices were incredibly reasonable. We boarded our puppies for a week and when we arrived to drop them off, we were so impressed with how clean it was and how nice the area is that she has set up for dogs. I emailed her a few times to check on our puppies while we were gone. Not only did she reply in a short period of time, but she sent pictures of the puppies and a video of them playing. It made me so happy to see how happy and playful they were during their stay. 4 Paws Country Inn is a special place and perfect for your pets when you need a place for them to stay. We have a couple more trips planned this year and I will need to board our puppies again. I will be calling Amanda soon to reserve a spot for them. I want to make sure they can stay at the BEST place in the Central Valley, 4 Paws Country Inn.

Amanda is such a doll! Easy to schedule with and treats your pooches like family. Also extremely affordable compared to other boarding facilities. Highly recommend!

My pups loved this place. Both pups were happy when I picked them up. The location is excellent, the inn is well maintained and can see the owners' love for the pets and place. I plan to use them again! Photos coming soon!

Amanda, the owner is very friendly and caring person and the place is super clean. While i was abroad, she texted me several times, explaining how my dogs were doing and sent videos of my dogs playing at her facility. My dogs were happy , energetic and looked clean and smelled good when i picked them up. I highly recommend this place to people who really care about their pets.

Amanda is incredible and will love your fur baby as if they were her own! My dog absolutely loves staying there and gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Miss Amanda. Leia seriously has the time of her life while at 4 Paws! I wouldn't dream of leaving her anywhere else!

Wonderful open space for the dogs to run. It’s peaceful. The owner is a kind woman who is willing to work around your schedule. I will definitely trust my dogs to go here again.

I highly recommend!! I have dropped my dog off several times and the owner has always been very accommodating😊😊 Amazing atmosphere for your pup!! 🐶🐶 …

I am extremely impressed with 4 Paws Country Inn for numerous reasons! I had to travel recently and did not feel comfortable leaving my 3-legged cat home alone for the length of time that I would have to be away as well as the fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off practically every night, close to my front door by surrounding neighbors. I proceeded to make calls and compare prices. Not only was 4 Paws Country Inn more reasonably priced, willing to accommodate during this Covid-19 nightmare, but most importantly provided my precious cat with a super clean, caring, and safe environment!! I received so much more than a 4 night pet stay boarding!! I was given peace of mind which is priceless. I can go on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Amanda prior to bringing my cat Pumkinhead. She was so easy and pleasant to talk to. I had nervous “mommy” questions which Amanda answered with professional expertise and reassuring patience. There was absolutely no pressure and I felt like she had a genuine love for animals and took her profession very seriously. I appreciated her attention to detail and her verification of my animal’s vaccination status via her very professionally drafted contract. This assured me that she would be also safeguarding other pets as well as my own. The day I arrived to drop off my precious kitty, Amanda welcomed us warmly and assisted me with my heavy items. Her facility is indeed a beautiful country inn and the outside is well maintained and full of natural charm. The inside is equally immaculate and the aroma is nothing short of clean and fresh. I was amazed that the kennel full of dogs had no hint of animal waste at all!! The destination of my cat would be a lovely large enclosed ward with a spectacular window and ledge for viewing the spacious fenced in yard. I was so happy to see the cat tree and three story crate that would accommodate my cat’s high back litter box and room to spare. I had expressed to Amanda how my cat was very leery of children and usually would hide if they came near. It was an unfortunate result of a truly traumatic event that occurred involving a 4 year old girl who may have been autistic. Amanda proceeded to instruct her sons (Jase and Bryce) of my cats’ fear and and cautioned to move slowly when they are around her. I really appreciated her giving this “heads up” to her sons who routinely help her. I was able to leave my cat in her very capable hands... 😅 I also received wonderful pics of my precious and I almost cried! She was enjoying herself. And the icing on the cake so to speak was what I witnessed when I was reunited with my cat. I could not believe my eyes!! Amanda had given me my precious and her two sons were standing nearby. As I anxiously released her from the carrier she greeted me and meowed. I knew she was happy to see me. Then she went to rub against Bryce’s leg and he picked her up. She didn’t meow or anything. She didn’t turn to cling to him as if in fear, which she often does even to me when I pick her up. Instead she let him hold her and she was totally okay with it!! Then when Amanda told me that he had spent much time with her in the cat sanctuary and often spoke to her saying “it’s okay sweetheart” I knew he had helped her recover from her fear of children!! 😭😻😍💕 Amanda quickly told Bryce to let her down now so that she could be with me, and as he set her gingerly down onto her 3 paws he extended his hand and she turned back towards him and rubbed her cheek on his hand. That right there was a miracle!! I am grateful beyond words to Amanda and to her helper sons Bryce and Jase who stand with her, smiling with the face of little angels!! 😇

Good place to leave your dogs since there isn't good reliable facilities near me, dog have plenty of space to run in secured fenced runners, my dogs seemed to liked because when I picked them up, they went to her (the owner) like saying goodbye.

I cannot say enough good thing things Happy Tails Pet Resort! We boarded our Saint Bernard for 7 days. Jessica and Karin sent me pictures every day. The facility is the cleanest I have seen. I definitely recommend Happy Tails for any boarding needs!

Kira stayed here for three days while my husband and I went to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. At arriving you could see the kennels where the dogs slept and some of the yards where the dogs play. They sent me a daily picture and a short update on how she was doing. We felt our dog was well taken care of and definitely recommend this place.

They do an excellent job, they sent me pictures every day updating me on his stay. Highly recommend, great people.

Thank you Happy Tails Staff! Took our Maltipoo here for the first time while leaving out of state. We were a little nervous and so was our dog as we don’t separate too often, but we were very pleased with her stay. We got daily updates & pics and she was well taken care, which put us at ease. A lot of love goes into this place and even more love is shown to pets who stay here. It’s comforting to know your dog is in a safe environment and at affordable prices. We plan to return here again in the future.

Our dogs were there for 11 days, we got photo updates almost every day. The facility is nice and clean, staff is friendly and you can see their love for animals.. When we got back our dogs had been groomed and looked very well taken care of. One of our Queenslands is usually not friendly to strangers. For her to be playful and happy with the staff,, speaks volumes to the care she received. Will definitely use them again, thanks so much for the care our Fur Babies received!

This is our first place leaving our dog and we were so impressed. It’s a very clean and well cared for area that have workers who have a passion for animals. I feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog here knowing that he will be taken care of. I absolutely love the fact they send text messages with updates and photos of our dog as we are away, it brings a lot of peace. We will always be using their services forever!

Last minute booking and drop off last Friday for a weekend snow getaway. We received a daily picture of our Dog Rocky and we're very glad to see him happy. Our dog is not very good with strangers but he looked great and settled that made our trip much more comfortable. Thank you Elizabeth for a great service. Highly recommended!

I found Happy Tails last year when I waited too long to make reservations during the holidays at our normal pet boarding spot and I'm so happy I did. Happy Tails is now our pet boarding spot of choice. It is located out in the country on an idyllic farm. My dogs (one big, one small) stay together in one kennel that has both indoor and outdoor access. The indoor part of the kennel is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, so I know they are comfortable (which is especially important because the little one is hairless). There is so much grass and happily grazing cows that I feel like I'm dropping my dogs off for a vacation of their own (which reduces the guilt of leaving them behind). The owner is extremely accommodating and does not charge extra if you want to bring your own food. She cares more about the dogs not getting sick by switching food. I am so happy we discovered this gem of a place and I know my dogs are too! I highly recommend this place!

Our little ♥ Australian Shepard loved her visit! What a great time she had. We got a daily photo and updates on how she was doing. Wonderful experience! Thank you so much for everything!

Always feel good about leaving my dog. I love getting pictures of dog while he is there.

They have a very friendly staff, and took care of my pet very well. She came back to me happy and looked healthy from what I could tell. I appreciate that they take the dogs out numerous times throughout the day and even let the dogs play together if they get along. After the stay they give a report card giving details about how your pet did.

We love Funny Faces and so does our pup. When we pull in she gets excited to go in. When they come out to get her to bring her back she doesn’t hesitate to go back she doesn’t look back at me or tries to come back to me which shows seems to have fun while she is there!

Amazing place to board your animals. They have great service and pay attention to all of the animals in their care.

Water pipe burst, leaking fresh water into my house so unlivable. My 2 cats needed shelter fast. I called Funny Faces staff and told them about our dilemma. My babies were there for a week pending repiping of lines. The ladies at the front desk were kind, helpful and caring. The cat room is clean well kept and comfy. I would trust them with my babies anytime.

My Bertie loves to visit Funny Faces. He always makes friends. I love the report card when we pick him up. I know he's in great hands and that's peace of mind.

We were in the middle of a rough move and needed to board our pups for a few days. This is usually a very frustrating situation because it seems like every boarding facility these days is "cage free" and my dogs do not play well with others. However, Funny Faces was so easy to work with. They have staff right at the front door, ready to take your dog when you walk in, so you're not fighting a leash and filling out paperwork. Brilliant! They kept my dogs together, and away from other pups. No incidents, happy and tired dogs when I picked them up. And they helped me to the car. Best boarding facility ever.

Funny Faces is the BEST boarding facility I’ve EVER encountered! I’ve been bringing my two doggies here for quite some time and they absolutely love it! The facility is spotless and well maintained! They even send my pups’ home with a report card to let me know how they did while I was away. The employees always show kindness and are always offering to help me unload my dogs and their belongings. I don’t see anywhere else taking care of my animals as well as they do! :)

My dog Waffles absolutely loves going here. They have the best customer service for pets and owners I have ever encountered. They make my dog feel very special with their warm welcome. They set up play dates for my dog. Also the grooming is excellent and very affordable. Love it!

This is by far the nicest boarding facility I have ever encountered!! The staff are friendly, helpful and have a genuine care and concern for each pet! The facility was clean inside and out.... not one bit of pet odor! They can accommodate special diets, etc. and even find play pals for your pet during their stay. There is a vet on call 24/7. Our pet actually WANTED to go inside on our second visit instead of pulling away! Kudos to this wonderful place where our dog can enjoy his vacation while we enjoy ours with complete peace of mind that our pup is in excellent hands!!

They responded to their email quickly and were polite in explaining their requirements. My dog & cat were well cared for and the facilities were spacious and clean. My dog even got a report card :)

Best place ever to kennel your pups and kitties. We've used Sandyland for 20-25 years. The owner Denise and lady that works there Charlotte, are all about the animals. They will give your fur babies their medication and anything else your pet needs. Charlotte literally saved our pup's life on one visit. She could tell something was off about him and rushed him to the vet. Turns out our boy was in a pancreatic crisis and if she hadn't been paying attention to him we would have lost him. I can't say enough good things about these folks. It's not a bright and shiny place, but animals don't care about bright and shiny.... they just want food, play, and love and that's what they get there!

They have been taking care of our dogs for as long as we can remember. Literally on two occasions saved our dogs lives. We adopt older dogs and never think twice about their safety when leaving them there. Recommend 100%.

Friendly, nice setup. Dogs are well taken care of.

Dropped off my dog over the weekend. Upon first impressions the premises seemed unkept and disorganized, the kennels are dark and have poor conditions for the dogs; cement floor and the building reeked of urine. I left my dog’s food for the owner to feed him but she didn’t use any of it and my dog came back skinnier, and also smelled of urine. Further, he physically starts to tremble whenever he gets near his kennel at home- I can’t imagine what she may have done to him to make him dread his kennel so much. Definitely do not recommend if you actually care about the well-being of your dog, this location should 100% be your last resort.

We love our dogs. They are family to us. We are very critical about who has the qualifications to take care of them and we found Denise meets those qualifications. When we go on trips, we are not worried about them because we know they are well taken care of.

We have used this service for literally years! They have been the nicest humans anyone could ask for. This time was for a new batch of animals that had never met them and our dogs absolutely LOVED them! We will continue to use them AND let everyone know about them! THANK YOU SANDYLAND KENNELS!

Been coming here for years. Denise and Charlotte have actually saved our Sparky's life on 2 occasions (special needs dog). Take care of our pets as if they were their own.

Owner is very accommodating. Kennel is nice and clean. The cages are very roomy. We feel very confident in leaving our pet with Sandyland.

Charlotte just does not seem to enjoy her job..more likely won't leave my baby again..the place smells has lots of flies..i was really ify about leaving my dog but I took a chance since it was literally last min..no camera to check on your pet..i got no pictures..just nothing to reassure me my baby was fine..i did choose to leave him cus I did like the kennel he was gonna b in..nice size kennel but the 2 days I left him I was concerned the whole time so I won't leave him again

We love this place. They take amazing care of my crazy dog..

Great spot! I’m someone who gets separation anxiety from my dog (lol) and it was hard at first for me to commit to bringing him to a facility to be boarded. Cusco is also sensitive so I was worried about that, too. He is not a skittish dog, he just notices everything and needs time to take it all in before he’s okay with joining the party. I explained this to the staff and let them know to play “hard to get” with him and basically ignore that he’s there until he approaches and touches them on his own, and they are all thankfully very dog savvy and knew exactly what I meant. Reading the report cards of Cusco’s stay, it seems that the people he interacts with daily understand his needs and read him well, they pickup on details about him that are true which I’ve never disclosed myself. The best part for me is that when I pick him up, he doesn’t seem like he spent the last few days living super stressed out. I’m sensitive, he’s sensitive, so to have a place I can leave him and feel like he’s at least neutral if not content to be there is a huge relief. There are also multiple safety barriers and doors that would need to be breached in order for him to actually be in danger of escaping. No dogsitter on Rover has that. He is intact (because he’s a preservation breed and his breed club and breeder would like to preserve his genetics, not because I’m an irresponsible owner who thinks all dogs should have litters lol) which means he doesn’t get group play with other dogs and relies solely on humans to interact with him while he is there. I feel that even if he wasn’t intact I would prefer it this way, and the fact that they offer that as an option is really nice. He’s not unfriendly to other dogs, he just needs to get to know them first in low energy settings to actually enjoy himself rather than be stressed out by the interaction. The only thing I wish was different was that I could have a chance to tour the facility back there and get to know and see where he is staying and exactly how he is living. It likely is an option, but it wasn’t included in our introduction to the facility, provably because new strange people on the back could further stress already stressed dogs, and/or my dog would then know he could look for me back there and that could cause some anxiety. Maybe a video walkthrough would be good! I recommend Elaine’s and am grateful for them. I hope this stays true throughout the time I’ll be living in Fresno!

I've been taking my dogs for close roughly 2.5yrs and they love it. We started at Madera and now go to Fresno and both locations are great. I love coming in and the front desk knows both of my dog's name and greets them. I love the holiday pictures.

I am new to the Fresno area and needed a safe place for my elderly boxer while I am out of the country. My boxer is very low maintenance when it comes to activity - she's 14 1/2 years old. All she needs is a place to sleep, food, and a few potty breaks. I paid the $30 for the mandatory "Meet and Greet", only to be called after a few hours to be told that she "could not be accommodated" there. The reason given was her "mobility". I am not sure what mobility issues they observed...yes, she is a little slower in her old age, but we take walks daily and she doesn't have issues with her gait. She has a great deal of experience in kennels and has never had an issue. Anyway - I found a much better facility that is more than happy to take loving care of my old girl while I am gone. I feel like this meet and greet thing is just a money grab. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews before I wasted my time and money.

This place is next level. The staff and facility layout is amazing. The staff provides a very welcoming environment. We boarded our dog snowflakes

I absolutely love Elaine’s Pet Resort! The fact that they share Instagram stories of the playgroups is a game-changer. It truly feels like we’re right there with our dogs, and it brings so much joy to see them having a great time. The team is genuinely caring and goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and safe. It’s reassuring to know our furry friends are in such capable hands. The transparency and care they provide make this resort top-notch. Five stars!

I had many bad experiences in the past in different places in the area, to the point that we almost lost my rescue black lab due to a negligence from a facilities staff. I did my research again until I found the perfect place for my dogs. Since, the first time, I left my dogs, I feel confident to travel knowing that my pets will be safe and well taking care of. I had the opportunity to toured the facilities before our first meet and greet appointment. I was impressed of the cleanness and well-organized facilities,including ambiental music and air conditioning. The playground and water park are build specifically for dogs. My dogs are happy when I picked them up and they never show any behavior of mistreatment as they did before. The staff is amazing and very professional. They have a holiday events offering photos for our our lovely pets. Also they provide a report cards for every visit, so I can read about their behavior during their stay. They accommodate my rescue black dog because he doesn't get along with other dogs. He does have one-one time and playing time. My little puppy get alone with other dogs and he does have play time with other puppies. Also I am over protective with my dogs and I was able to call every day to check on them when I travel for a week. I am very confident recommending this place to other pet owners. It is pricy compare to other places around but I can't complain about the care of my dear pets. " Happy pets, Happy fur parents" ~ MP

My pet went there for the first time was there for four days everyone that works there was very nice. When I picked up my dog she seemed to be very happy I had not brought her around other dogs, so she hadn’t been socialized with people or other dogs and adjusted very well. I will bring her back I felt very good having her there , I love the fact they send out report cards keeping you up to date on how’s she doing I loved that Pat as well as a picture of her.

If you love your dog, don’t leave them at Elaine’s. I left my dog at Elaine’s for a week over thanksgiving. It is supposedly Fresno’s premier destination for dogs, so I thought it would be safe to leave him. But the staff at Elaine’s lied to me on multiple occasions. First, they told me my dog would get to play with the other dogs. Which I paid for him to do extra because he loves other dogs so much. That was a lie, he was in solitary confinement for two days until a staff member let it slip and I complained. He was temperament tested the next day and found to have no problems with other dogs and then allowed to play. If I hadn’t been calling to check on him, I never would have known because they were fine with me being misinformed. When I complained to Debbie, she admitted that wasn’t their policy and he should have been temperament tested his first day instead of being confined. Secondly, they lied to me about how much food my dog was eating. They told me he was eating 100% of his food, but then again, when I called to check on him, a staff member let slip that “somehow” I’d been misinformed and he was only eating about 40% of his food. I was then told it wasn’t a big deal, and not to be concerned, but if that’s the case, why did they bother lying about it. When I complained about this to Debbie, she again admitted that this was against their policy. All in all, I paid $500 to be lied to, my dog be mistreated, and at the end all I got from Elaine’s was a dismissive attitude and a “sorry you’re mad” even though they admitted their actions were against their own policies. Think twice before leaving your pet here. They have no problem lying to you about how they are treating your pet, and do not care at all about any valid concerns. If you love your pet, don’t bring them to Elaine’s.

Great service when boarding pets during trips. Appreciate the dedication to making sure our pets are taken care of and the report cards sent to us during our trips to see how they are doing are appreciated

We board our big dog, Lucy here every time we go out of town. They have an additional service for her to get a bath a couple hours before pickup time. She is happy when we get there to drop her off, and they do a great job with her bath. They even email us a report card with a photo to let us know how she did. We highly recommend Elaine’s Pet Resort!

Always cares for our girls in such a great way. Our dogs are never afraid to go into her house. They follow our directions and keep us updated when we are in long trips. Definitely recommend.

Had one on one training with my puppy. Highly recommend. She answered all my questions and gave me many tips.
