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.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

I first met Monika in the late 1990s when I had a diabetic dog and a cat. She knew what to do with the diabetes, and the dog just loved her. Monika always was there for us when we needed her. Monika took care of our animals till we moved out of her service area. When my favorite dog had a stroke she was at the emergency room with me, and we cried together when the dog passed. If I lived in her service area, I would absolutely have her take care of my animals no matter what. She is dependable and works very hard to ensure the animals get the care they deserve. She doesn’t take every job to ensure that she doesn’t short-change a pet owner.
I use Furry Friends Pet Sitting about once a month and have had a positive experience. Monika is professional, communicative, and demonstrates exceptional flexibility. The small touches (flight tracking, leaving the house cleaner than when I left, occasional pet toys) elevate the experience and are a welcome part of the service. I will continue to rely on Monika and Furry Friends as long as I live in the area.
Monika pet sat for us during our holiday travels and did a wonderful job. She took care of our cats twice a day, fed them per our instructions, played with them, and even purchased toys for our cats! We also appreciated how communicative she was the entire time.
Where do I start!? We’ve been with Monika for almost 2yrs now! And my Fur Babies love her!! Monika is such a perfectionist, attentive, and very detail oriented! Little stuff like bringing in the mail and throwing out the pee pads after she’s changed it! She’s just amazing! My 2 cats don’t feel as stress when I come back home from a trip. Before they wouldn’t eat even after we’ve been back home for a day, till they acclimated to us being back home.. but since they’ve been seeing Monika it’s like we never left for a day or 3 or a week! My German Shepard does not even cry during the night anymore. She gives them allll love equally! WE LOVE YOU MONIKA!
Monika has been taking care of my cat for months now and I feel so comfortable leaving him in her hands! She’s very professional and organized when it comes to scheduling and keeping notes on the care of my cat. Whenever I need to book an appointment, she always gets back to me in a timely manner and without hesitation will make room in her schedule for me. I am also very impressed with her calm and loving energy she gave off to my cat when she first met him. He is usually very shy around new guests in the house, but he came right up to her and they became friends right away. She also took the time to come meet us before committing to watching my cat for the first time. I really appreciated the effort and interest she puts into her work so we would all feel comfortable our first time using her. Every time Monika comes to play with him while I am out of town, she will send me updates to let me know he is doing fine. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsible, and genuine with the care of your fur baby... look no further! I am so pleased with the service from Furry Friends Pet sitting and I will continue to use Monika as my cat’s pet sitter!
I can’t begin to preach enough praise for Monika. I’m sure like a lot of people that own animals, you look at those animals as not just animals but a part of your own family. With that in mind, it is hard to trust someone to care for your family the same you would yourself. Well, that was until I met Monika, she has not only cared for the animals but goes above and beyond for them even to the point where she makes me step my game up when I see them after they have seen her LOL. She is punctual, loving and detailed oriented. She has been able to accommodate my family on last minute emergencies as well as planned out vacations! She is the absolute best and I would recommend her services to anyone who loves and cares for their fur babies like a family member!
We have used Furry Friends as our pet sitter for many years now. We first hired Monika to care for our senior (and later, diabetic) kitty when we went on vacation; I wanted someone with the expertise needed to take care of a special needs (and not terribly friendly) cat, and Monika was absolutely the right person. Now she cares for our two younger kitties, and dotes on them like they are her own; they clearly love her back! She also does a marvelous job of taking care of household issues that arise while we are away - and we've had a few doozies - with absolute professionalism. You can be very confident leaving your pets in the hands of Furry Friends. They will be treated like family.
They are amazing! They made an appointment to meet and greet our pups. They asked numerous questions to ensure they had every tid bit of information increasing my confidence in them. Very respectful and accommodating. Highly recommend them for anyone in the area, as they were able to not only squeeze us in for the meet and greet but also squeeze us in almost last minute as their new clients. Definitely recommend them and our pups Apollo and Queenie loved them and will hopefully see them again. The daily updates sent via photos and videos were the extra mile and their photo skills are great too!
Monika is amazing, she watched our elderly grumpy cat for several weeks and won her over in the process. Monika was able to get her to take her medication! Changing methods and trying new tricks I hadn’t considered, Monika was able to stay a step ahead of her. Really appreciated the regular updates and all of Monika’s time, care and attention!!! We are so thankful that we found Monika and you will be too!
I am so thankful that I found Monika and Furry Friends. Monika is not only a consummate professional but obviously a deeply caring person. When your pups are like family it is so important to have someone you trust care for them when you are not home. And not only trusting your special furry friends but trusting someone to be in your home when you are not there is a huge thing. Monika cares about everything. My dogs love having her here. Because she has been a veterinarian nurse I can trust that she knows the nag about my dogs that I don’t even know! She takes care of everything and actually my house looks better when we get home than when I left it. We got text updates while we were gone and I have such peace knowing she is there. I never have to worry at all about how my girls are being cared for. No one besides my family will ever care for my pups when I can’t be with them
Keelie and her team are a pleasure to work with! They are all so kind and very passionate about the care they provide our fur-babies! Initially, we were very nervous to leave our 2 cats alone for long international trip, especially because it was our first time being away from them for so long. However, Keelie and her wonderful team were so responsive and would send us updates and pictures at every visit. We will be using Keelie as our pet sitter for all of our future trips because we know our kitties will be so well taken care of and loved while we are away! Thanks again Keelie + team! You all are the best!
I just wish I would have found Keelie's pet sitting sooner! I had a bad experience with a different pet sitter. Keelie is responsive and communicates well. She sends me pictures every day of her walking my dog so that gives me piece of mind! Her app is so easy to use to request pet sitting and update information about my pets. The best part is when I come home my pets seem happy and not stressed at all!
I LOVE Keelie’s Pet Sitting. From being dependable and taking such excellent care of my sweet fur baby, plus the ease of scheduling, Keelie’s Pet Sitting is AMAZING. I highly recommend!
Keelie has been there for us ever since we got our new puppy last Nov. She walks him and plays with him and has given me a lot of good advice. She is really flexible with my schedule which changes constantly. The best thing about her is that she has a special and loving attitude with my little guy Milo. Milo gets so excited when he see her. She always takes pics of him for me which I look forward to. I completely trust her and her staff.
Highly recommended her service!!! Thanks to Keelie I was able to enjoy my week vacation without worrying about my 15 month old yellow Lab. She updated me daily with a message and photo of my precious Lulu. Keelie goes above and beyond to give the professional care, love and attention needed for peace of mind. Bonus was when she took care of an indoor ant problem before I came home. Can’t thank her enough!!!
Keelie is very responsive and always comes through even on short notice. I love that she sends text updates and photos of my pets on each visit. She is very good with our cats and bird, and her prices are very competitive for the quality of service she provides. I trust her, and highly recommend her!
Keelie is the best! We have two chickens and a cat, my biggest fear moving anywhere new is finding a pet sitter. We moved to Pleasanton to save on rent in the pandemic and I dreaded this the most. Who was going to take care of two chickens and a cat? We used Yelp to find Keelie and she was the only person who was familiar with chickens. Her communication was fully professional and I was immediately impressed with how quickly she identified every one of my pet’s needs. Her questions made it clear she knew what she was doing and could be trusted. Being able to go down and check on my mother in the pandemic and not having to worry about our fuzzy family is amazing! Thank you so much to Keelie! Don’t wait— book a meeting with her and get your fuzzy friends great care :)
Great experience with Keelie petsitting our 3 kitties for 7 days. The cats were well fed and she sent us pictures of them twice a day so we could rest assured of their good condition. She even made sure our less aggressive feeder had a place to go to eat in peace and stayed until she was finished. Twice daily meds and feeding with absolutely zero fuss! Will be using her again and again.
Keelie is a highly recommended per sitter/walker. She walked our 2 year old twin labs up until the pandemic started and both pawrents had to work from home. She was reliable and flexible and we hope to have her back when we return to work one day.
Keelie is the best Petsitter I have ever had! She takes care of our kitties just like they are her own. We have a kitty who needs medication twice a day and she is a pro at that! I highly recommend her!
Molly and her team are wonderful, reliable, and experienced. Not only did my pup have a great time, but I got daily updates with tons of pictures. The Doggie Llama team does boarding, training, and dog walking right. When your pet is left with them you can rest assured that your pet is receiving quality care tailored to their needs and comfort. Their science-based approach to training and care sets them apart from the industry standard and sets my mind at ease knowing that my pet is receiving the highest quality of care.
EDIT: We are coming up on our five year anniversary being with Doggy Lama! Wow time has flown. We do have two new walkers that tag team, Joe (who is our primary walker) and Vero (who provides backup), but all the previous statements in my review are still valid. Joe and Vero are always communicative, respectful, and Warren can't wait to go on adventures with him and his pack. You can tell how much they each love and appreciate their dogs. ---- Our boy Warren, a border collie mix, LOVES his time with Kristen & Michael's packs. They're some of the most exceptional and trustworthy dog walkers we've had. Warren will wait up by the window for Kristen or Michael to come every morning - tail waggin a million miles an hour and whimpering from excitement. It makes me happy to see Warren get to play out on the trails, learn new skills, and socialize with his pals every day. Finding a trustworthy and professional dog walker is not easy. But Molly runs a tight ship, and the team she leads at Doggy Lama shows just how much she cares for and loves animals. If you're looking for pet care that exceeds the standard - I'd highly recommend you reach out to Doggy Lama.
Vanessa is pure gold. She has been walking my sweet husky-pit mix Margaux since she was a year old and forged an incredible bond not only with my pup, but with our whole family. Vanessa comes with heart, soul & leash - in that order. Vanessa adores her canine charges and they feel it. She is also a gifted photographer and I look forward to her pix every time Margaux goes out with her. She has my complete trust and gratitude. Margaux agrees!
I have worked with many dog walkers, dog trainers, and pet care professionals in the past. Doggy Lama Pet Care is a business with a different set of principles. They put positive reinforcement and employee training before profits and scale. A dog's physical and emotional health will always be Doggy Lama Pet Care's top priority. I was fortunate to work with the owner Molly and her dedicated team of employees. Every member of the staff was an absolute professional. I found the team to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. I have two rescue dogs that have their own cute little complexities. I am incredibly confident that any member of Doggy Lama Pet Care's team could properly care for my dogs and exceed my own expectations. I would highly recommend them for both private dog walking and group dog walking services. The team is especially qualified even if you have rescue dogs with complicated or unknown backgrounds.
Doggy Lama is my vote for the best small business in the Bay Area. This is not hyperbole! They are reliable, transparent, informative, and caring. We feel so comfortable with them, and often lean on their guidance and advice for taking care of our dog Rory. Our walker Jeysi feels like a member of the family. Every weekday she reliably arrives at our home, Rory runs to greet her, and off they goes with a pack of 5-7 dogs on a beautiful East Bay trail. A few hours later Rory comes home happy and tired. And then Jeysi sends us a written summary along with beautiful photos and videos from the day. It seems like such a fun pack. We're so, so grateful for Jeysi. Attaching just one pic here. But I have about 8,000,000 others that are equally frame worthy!
I absolutely love Doggy Lama Pet Care!. My dog walker, Sophie, is the best!. Always let's me know when she is arriving and coming home with my 🐶, Grace. Sends pictures of her hiking adventures. 100% Great Review! …
Molly and her team at Doggy Lama are the best! Our dog Toby always returns from his off-leash walks with Jordan having had lots of fun with his pack buds and tuckered out. It’s been a huge relief to know Toby is getting the exercise and stimulation he needs, especially during the work week when we can’t provide that for him to this level. This team is also amazing at communication, from day-of logistics to general awareness of seasonal considerations on the trail.
My dog loves Doggy Lama! She cannot wait for them to pick her up and is always exhausted and happy when they bring her home. She has totally bonded with Vanessa and Merrigold. I appreciate their communication and professionalism. and the photos.
Everyone at Doggy Lama has been so good to my pup, Rosie, since I adopted her over a year ago. Rosie has arthritis so Dorothy takes her to the park to sniff about at her own pace or just lay in the sun. It's clear that she loves her time with Dorothy because she always comes home with a huge smile on her face! Kendrae is super communicative and responsive around scheduling, too. Highly recommended!!
Kasper and I we both LOVE Doggy Lama; obviously for different reasons - Kasper loves the walks, treats and keeping his brain working while practicing recall on every walk. I love it that the Doggy Lama team is super reliable and feels like extended family. After I broke my foot they were able to immediately schedule Kasper for walks every day so I was able to rest. Thank you Team!
Has a park very close by, a backyard for dogs, and uses positive reinforcement training with your dog while they stay there!
Nice place to come with your paw friend
Pet dynasty is one of the best places to take your pets. I’ve been taking my dog since he was puppy for boarding and grooming - the staff’s friendliness, the care and affection is amazing. Kudos to Carlos, the owner who takes special interest in the pets and is very involved. I am particularly satisfied with the boarding facility, the price (check for the package deals) and the care. The only advise I have is to expand to open more stores.
The reviews of neglect are patently false. The owner is a retired veterinarian, and working in the vet industry for several years, I can confidently say there is no other boarding facility I would trust with my German Shepherds. They’re always taken care of, and when my oldest had a vestibular attack a couple years back the owner, Carlos, drove him to save personally. I could not recommend this place more.
Beware of this place, Carlos tries to sell you a boarding pass and then randomly add extra days which you have never used. This place is extremely dirty, and the owner has a habit of taking advantage of the customers by adding fraudulent days to their passes.
This place is amazing! They are so friendly and take such great care of my dog. We use Pet Dynasty for doggie daycare and for boarding. This really has been the best experience I’ve had with boarding. At daycare I feel like they really like my dog and he, the dog, is pretty stranger shy. I highly refined them.
I would review negative stars if I could. This place is so negligent and heartless, maybe even evil, I would genuinely fear for the health and safety of my pet of if I where you and considering boarding here.
Very friendly and helpful staff! We needed to board our Golden Retriever for a couple hours on a Saturday and all other places were either closed or don’t do daycare on the weekend. We were able to quickly share her vaccine info over email and drop her off all within 30 mins of calling. They also were flexible since we showed up a couple minutes after closing and brought her out to us since we paid when dropping her off. We will definitely bring her back again! 😊
I have been bringing my dog here for overnight boarding since before COVID. Friendly staff, good rates (with package deals), and my dog is safe, sound, and happy—even after long stays. I will continue to make the drive up from South Bay for Pet Dynasty even though there are options closer to me.
I love this place, we are visiting for work from TX and they took our baby like one of their regulars. They are very knowledgeable and rates are extremely reasonable. We were so lucky to find them.
Best daycare/boarding in the bay area. Our dogs love going there and we feel very comfortable leaving our dogs there when we're away. They take excellent care of all the dogs and they know how to handle dogs with different energy levels, different needs etc. Highly recommend this place!
Six months ago, our 2yo golden retriever sustained a spinal cord injury or infection during a 2-week stay. He was paralyzed in the hind legs and unable to control eliminations the day of pickup. The owner's behavior was extremely suspicious, refusing to share the camera footage for us to review, and overall very rude and insensitive to our situation and requests for info (we never asked for any compensation). Months later, a former employee that had since left, reached out to me to apologize for their conduct towards us, and told me they got reprimanded for trying to speak up about our situation. It's telling that the only person we corresponded with that seemed to actually care about the dogs was forced out of the company. He is doing much better now, at much cost for veterinary care (I highly recommend SAGE!), though still wobbly in the hind legs.
Pam has taken excellent care of our two kittens/cats over the past two years. Pam and her team are very personable and attentive, and they clearly love their visitors. The accomodations are clean and comfortable, well-lit, and the windows have great views of trees, bird feeders, and more. Pam sends regular updates and pictures, and is happy to answer any question. Our cats have always come home comfortable and relaxed; obviously well taken care of. We highly recommend Pam and Critter Pet Care for all boarding needs!
🐾 I highly recommend Critter Pet Care. My cat has special needs and they treated him like a 🤴. They knew I was anxious about leaving him and kept me updated daily and even sent pictures. The little 🐈 house has AC and is set up very nicely specifically for kitties.😻 The owner is easy to work with and very accommodating. They take care of 🐕 as well.
I am so happy I found Pam! I met her when I was moving and also going on a trip, meaning maximum cat-life interruption and I was super stressed about how it would all go. She was totally communicative and reassuring while I was away, sending pictures of obviously-happy cats. She has also helped with vet visits and advice. It is so great to work with someone who cares about your animals as much as you do (and knows so much more). My only reservation is about spreading the word so that she might be hard to book! But she deserves recognition for providing such an outstanding and important service.
We had been planning a trip of a lifetime - 7 weeks abroad - and one of the most important things was also one of the hardest things to do and that was to ensure our 1-year old sibling cats, Daisy & Spunky, would be in a secure and caring environment while we were away from home. We found there are many places that board cats in “2’Wx2D’x2H’” stainless steel kennels with 1 or possibly 2 hours of daily “out of the kennel” play time. Although they may be clean and secure, that type of a “confined” environment would have been difficult for our cats to endure even if just for a weekend (especially for Spunky who is very sociable and inquisitive); 7 weeks would have been grueling for them. They would probably be wondering, “what did we do to be abandoned like this?”. Thank goodness we found Pam & Critter Pet Care! The design of the cat house is wonderful and the size and multi-level layout of the kennels, some of which could also be expanded to double wide for bonded pairs like ours, allows cats to “hunker in” and feel secluded, or to peek out through their window for watching birds at the bird feeders outdoors. Cats also get to explore and commingle or just chill in the common areas, or they can trek/jump up to the many perches mounted high along the walls of the cat house. We missed our cats to pieces but really appreciated how Pam automatically kept us updated with photos and info about what they were doing throughout our 7-week trip. It gave us great peace of mind and our reunion confirmed how well they were cared for during their stay. We will not hesitate to leave our beloved Daisy and Spunky in Pam’s care the next time we plan a vacation or require boarding services. Thank you very much, Pam, for providing such an important service, a cozy and engaging boarding environment, and for truly caring about the well-being of our pets. . . you’re the best!
I cannot recommend Pam highly enough for anyone with a pet. I hated to leave my old dog, recovering from an illness, with anyone, but she had come recommended for her transparency. Pam went above and beyond making my dog comfortable and cared for when I had to leave town. When i found I couldn’t get home when I had hoped, she made it work to keep watching him even though his care needs were more than we expected. She let me know how he was doing every day, and was incredibly kind. Pam will always be my first choice for someone to care for my pet.
Critter Pet Care takes excellent care to set an environment that allows the cats to feel at home and loved and for cat parents to feel completely at ease for their care. Pam and her staff are absolutely intuitive in their care for pets. She's personally taught me so much about cat behavior and how to be a better cat companion as a newer pet parent. Thank you for always offering a wonderful home away from home for my cats!
Pam is very professional and knows how to handle both cats and dogs. I had left my two cats with her for a day. She has a very good set up where our cats could feel at home. The cages were set up in such a way that the cats could also look outside at the world or lie in a secluded spot if they wanted. There was even a bird feeder right outside the window, to keep the cats entertained. I definitely recommend her place if you want your cats taken care of while you are on vacation.
Pam is incredible! My rescue pup was isolated for many years and after only a few weeks at daycare, he was much more sociable and calm. He has separation anxiety and has a really hard time being alone, so Pam has been a godsend since I found her about a year ago. She takes really good care of my pup and updates me with pictures and status, which is nice while I'm at work. She is super flexible with drop off/pick up times and always responsive. It's amazing how she is able to socialize dogs with cats, dogs with each others, etc. Also, the backyard is amazing! Huge and lots of room for dogs to play. My pup can't wait to get out there and run around:) Highly recommend Critter Pet Care, Pam is truly a lifesaver.
Pam is a great person, she is extremely responsive, caring and knowledgeable. This place inspires trust! We lodged our dog and cat during one week and they both had a very good time under their care. Pam took me home with my pets the day we checked out because there were no Uber or Lyft drivers available. It was so sweet and kind of her! I would highly recommend this place for cats and dogs. Expect questions about your pet’s health, behavior and a meeting session for dogs.
Pam at Critter Pet Care has been doing a great job for myself and my furry family members. We like to call her Auntie Pam, and she is like a second mother to my young kitties. Along with all of the regular responsibilities of taking care of food, water and litter cleaning, Pam also plays regularly with them (has even bought them some really fun toys and treats), brushes them, and also sends me photos and regular updates when I'm away. She is also willing to water my outdoor patio plants and she brings in the mail. I can be easy in my mind knowing that all will be well at home when I have to be away. Booking and communication has always been easy. I really like using her online portal where I can book and confirm upcoming visits. Finally, when I have last minute changes to my schedule and need to add or cancel visits, she is always willing to accommodate. We are so lucky to have found her and truly appreciate her wonderful care and service!
UPDATE, Bobbi has moved out of the bay area and is in Tracy now! Bobbi is reliable and good with animals. She spends time with your pets, not just a stop, feed and go. She sends text photos when she visits so you can see your pets are ok.
Bobbi takes incredible care of our puppy! It’s the only place he’s excited to be dropped off and she shares great pictures so you know how everything is going! She’s the leader of the pack and keeps our lil guy safe and happy as can be. Can’t recommend her enough!!
We cannot say enough good things about Bobbi and Pawsitive Pets! Our Lab puppy Mona was born at the height of the pandemic and was working on her socialization skills. When looking for a daycare service, we read some horror stories about the storefront companies that give limited playtime and keep your dog in a crate during the day. Knowing that our girl needed to maximize her playtime with other pups, we were fortunate enough to find Bobbi. She is so patient, kind and caring and we feel so safe dropping our puppy with her. Bobbi sends us updates and pictures throughout the day and keeps us updated on things she thinks would best benefit Mona. We are extremely grateful to Bobbi for all of her help with our pup and highly recommend her for all of your training/daycare needs!
I have my puppy Mickey here 5 days a week while I am at work and he absolutely LOVES it! He was shy around dogs beforehand and Bobbie got him out of his shell in no time! Bobbie is great about sending picture updates and letting me know how my little guy is doing. She genuinely loves dogs and gives each one all the love and attention they need which makes me feel comfortable leaving him there all day. I’m so thankful I came across Pawsitive Pets!
I cannot recommend Bobbi more highly! She cares for all of our pets when we’re out of town, and she takes our younger dogs for daycare on a regular basis. Our pets adore her, and so do we (the humans)! She has done a phenomenal job of caring for all of our animals, including nursing our oldest dog through a scary medical issue while we were out of town and out of cell range. If you need a qualified, attentive pet sitter look no further - you found her!
Wonderful experience. We’re on vacation with our puppy who happened to get a tick on his eye. They quickly got us in and removed the tick. What a great team and wonderful experience for all. Highly recommend.
Bobbi is amazing! My pup is so much happier since we started going to Pawsitive Pets and I have the peace of mind knowing she’s I’m great hands. Affordable, too!
The owner called me back right away. I could not use their boarding because one of my dogs hates cats. If not for that, we would have boarded our dogs with her.
Bobbi saved us with last minute help! She was great with our dogs and cat. Couldn't recommend enough!
Our dogs always come back better behaved and happy. Great advice on being better dog owners.
As first time owners of a rescue, we weren’t sure about keeping our dog especially since he has anxiety as well. We are extremely happy with club K9 and would highly recommend to anyone. Given their facilities, they can easy charge 30% more. Staff is wonderful…
If I could leave zero stars I would. When they functioned under their old name, I left my soul dog there for a few days. I came home to a voice mail telling me he had died suddenly. I was told someone would be on property the entire time, they were not. I was never contacted by the owner or management to talk to me about how and why my dog mysteriously died. I was simply told my most precious baby was dead and to pick him up at the vet. I would never leave my pups in the hands of these folks ever again. Please consider another spot. My dog was my entire world and these folks kept trying to blame his brother who was also staying there with him. Absolutely one of the worst experiences of my entire life.
Absolutely fantastic facility with a great staff. Enrolled my puppy in the daycare as soon as she was fully immunized and it’s been great for her and for us. Their timings and prices are hard to beat. Can’t recommend Club K9 highly enough
These guys are the best! They took great care of our dog Leia. There is a huge emphasis on customer service and it shows in every step of the process. The staff are great and they patiently work to your dog's needs. We were a little apprehensive about sending Leia to a daycare as she’s very timid and uncomfortable around strangers. Within a couple of visits Leia came out of her shell and started playing with the staff here. Can’t thank them enough for the exceptional care and patience with our pup. Clean facility and very reasonable pricing. They even send photos of your pup during the stay and it makes our day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for full service boarding or daycare in the area.
It’s been a while since we boarded our 7 year old shepherd mix. Since Covid, she’s been with us at home. She’s a nervous wreck which also made us nervous to drop her off. But the staff at club k9 were confident, they welcomed her (despite her flaws lol) and we hope to continue boarding with them so she gets use to it. The facilities are nice and clean, the staff is great, and we are thankful for the work they do! Reasonably priced as well
Love the services and the facility. They are by far the best I have seen in the Bay Area. With a tour provided at the beginning to introduce their routines and having dogs visited to adapt environment before having owners made decisions. Good call. Love them. Additionally, they are situated at a huge open space.
We boarded our senior Dobe here for 3 nights last week, and I have to say how impressed I am with the service here. As soon as we drove up, someone came out to meet us immediately...same when we came to pick her up...they knew who we were and our dog. We had a small incident with her messing her bed, and they even washed her bed for us. I felt great leaving her there, and confident she would be cared for as she is at home. They even sent pictures of her in her play yard after we went home. I highly recommend Club K9 Fremont Sunol. They are awesome.
We couldn't be more pleased with our experiences at both Club K9 locations. Tara at the San Ramon location helped us with our dog getting acclimated to boarding and social play. Thank you Tara for making our vacation worry free in regards to our dog care! Patricia at the Sunol location was wonderful about sending us pictures and updates about how our dog was doing during her vacation. Their tender loving care is so evident with their intake questions and all the things they do when your dog stays there like keeping track of your dog's weight to make sure they aren't too stressed. This was our first time boarding our dog and it was positive in every way. Thank you Club K9!!!
Friendly and caring staff members who worked well with our rather hyper Springer Spaniel for her evaluation. We will definitely be boarding and scheduling daycare with Club K9.
I’ve been bringing my pups here for almost 2 years for boarding. They take such great care and give me peace of mind while traveling. The facilities are clean & they have plenty of yard space to suit different sizes/energy levels. The staff is wonderful & caring & it’s always an extra bonus when I get picture updates.
Found Woof San Ramon on the internet because we needed a place for our pup Bode to be boarded for the very first time! I’m so happy to find such a friendly and fun place for my lil pup! The process was very smooth, bode came in for his 2 hr “interview” and ended up staying longer because he was just having such a great time! I really appreciate all the detailed information and fast communication from the staff at woof! They sent photos and text update during his stay! I knew Bode had an amazing stay because i picked up a tired and CONTENT pup :) he also left with a cute little goodie bag! Thank you WOOF San Ramon! Bode can’t wait to come back for more fun!
We have had such a wonderful experience with Woof! The team is kind and attentive. They take the time to get to know the animals and I never stress when I have to board my pup. I've never had an issue reaching anyone directly. They are all so kind and communicative!
I had to leave a review to compliment the Woof staff. I just picked up my dog yesterday for a week plus stay. I was nervous to leave him as he never has boarded but Woof was recommended to me. While I was gone they were super responsive when I reached out to them.They send pics and kept me updated daily, but if you request a video they will send. When I picked him up he was relaxed and tired, which was to be expected, but not stressed. Caitlin and Alexis lmk how his stay was, were friendly and caring. I also leave him for daycare and Crystal and staff are great with him. I definitely recommend!
Our pup Daisy absolutely loves coming here, and everyone we've interacted with is so friendly and caring. Daisy was a nervous pup when we first got her & was initially hesitant to go in for daycare. Since her first visit, she runs right in! Plus, they send great pictures of her and her buddies throughout the day :)
We have never boarded our rescue dog until we had to leave town and couldn't bring him along. I found Woof and they were incredible. They truly have a kind, wonderful staff who really care about and love their job! Our dog is very nervous and shy and they were so helpful in getting him comfortable and even getting him to play with other dogs. I received a text message every day with a picture of my dog to let me know he was happy and doing well. This is now the only place I will ever board my dog! Thank you, Woof, you guys are the best!
Is the only place I leave my sweet Rocky for boarding, they care, provide a great service, the doggies don't stay half morning locked like in another place that has cameras too, and I was so worry because it was 10am and Rocky was still locked. I love Woof and would recommended 1000 times. I also live on Lake Merritt which is pretty far from San Ramon, but I do not mind the drive, as long I know Rocky is safe. Plus they send me pictures of Rocky through the day 😍😍😍
Staff is friendly. Valet drop off and pick up, so I've never been inside the facility. So far, they have been quick to report even the smallest injury (i. e. small cuts from playing). My dog usually comes home smelling bad, but that seems pretty typical of daycare, considering she's around other dogs pretty much all day. Pricing seems typical, and they do offer discounted packages. Not sure if they offer any additional enrichment in their daycare routine. Unfortunately, they don't have live camera access that many other daycares offer. If they did, that'd take my rating up to 5 stars, especially since I haven't had any major problems with this place.
My 4 dogs did boarding there for 16-nights in June. I greatly appreciate the care and attention that was given to all of them. I received photos of their stay; it was so comforting to know they were in good hands. All of the staff members that I met was wonderful and made me feel good inside about leaving my pets there for the first time. Will definitely use Woof, San Ramon for our babies boarding again!
The staff and owners at Woof really do care for your pet as if they are their own! We bring our dogs here for both daycare and boarding, and love the regular picture updates. Our dogs love coming here and the fast valet service is very convenient. The staff is very professional and friendly.
Everytime we need to leave town we board my dog with wood day care. The staff is great with sending photos and text messages if they have questions. The facility is spacious and they separate large from big dogs. Great place to board your fur baby.
Love The Ranch, and so does our Bree. The staff is awesome. The place is clean and safe. I never have to worry when I leave my dog there. She is always happy to be there. Thanks to a wonderful staff.
**5-Star Review:** I can't say enough good things about the Ranch! I've been using their services for a few years now, and they have consistently impressed me. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about the well-being of my dog in their care. The facilities are immaculate, and I always feel confident leaving my dog there, knowing he'll be well taken care of. My dog gets plenty of playtime and socialization, and he always comes home happy and healthy. It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs have a great experience. I highly recommend this kennel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional place to board their dog. Five stars all the way!
I love the fact that my pets are so excited to visit the Ranch Resort. I feel they are cared for with the TLC I give them. One thing I feel would make it perfect is if they had a live feed cam that I can check on them throughout the day
Been bringing our pups to them for years. They inspire a high level of trust. Can't say enough good things. Love The Ranch. They take great care of my most treasured companions.
First time boarding experience with Ranch Pet Resort and Spa went so wrong. My healthy 2 year poor golden retriever came back with red, itchy paws, bad ear bacterial infection that costed me $400 and multiple weeks to get her treated. I don't recommend this place. It certainly looks good when touring but they don't care when you leave your pet behind.
Amazing daycare, they have a fantastic system for drop off and pickup. My dog loves it. They post daily pictures and videos on Instagram so you can view your dog during play. No live camera feed, but I'd get fired for watching my dog all day if there was.
Fantastic daycare, boarding, and grooming! Our dogs love coming to the Ranch, and the team are all amazing!
The Ranch is the best our dog loves her stays there and we love how comfortable the experience is! They offer multiple different types of play packages which help a ton when our dog doesn’t play nice with other dogs the ranch offers private play practices so she can get out and enjoy herself! Highly recommend
I have left my 1yr puppy here on a number of times for both daycare and boarding The staff are always courteous and more importantly they care for my puppy well. The cost is reasonable and I think they outdoor play options as well for neutered/spayed dogs. And yes,they accept non fixed dogs, just that they cannot be other dogs. Overall, my experience has so far been good with them
This is the best place for our little girl hands down! The staff is incredible and run a very clean facility! They slowly acclimated Hāna to the daycare pack of pups to insure she wasn't scared by a borage of happy pup all wanting to say hi. Needless to say, Hāna will be back for a week long stay two weeks from now with their platinum package! I'm sure she will love everything from the full day of fun in the park to the bedtime stories and tuck in ever night! If you are bringing your pup for the last week of October, Hāna will be there to play with your pup! "Picture included is not from The Ranch Pet Resort, I just had to add her photo"
