Dog Sitters in Anderson, CA

I cannot thank the kennel enough along with their amazing team. Our dog Toto has never stayed at a kennel before and he was there for 7 nights and 8 days. We had a delayed flight and couldn’t pick up Toto until the next day, I communicated and the team was so accommodating. Rhonda and team thank you so very much. Until the next time 😊 …

I was just the errand boy, I dropped off my daughters two dogs. The young man at the counter was very nice and helpful, and the dogs seemed to like him right off. The facility was clean and tidy.

Friendly staff. The outside pens are pretty muddy, but at least they get outside time. When I came to pick up my dog, there was a black lab running around and came up to my vehicle barking. The staff took it inside. I don't know if it was a local dog or boarding. The prices are very affordable. I like that it's back away from main roads.

Helpful and friendly staff make our kitty feel at home when we have to travel. The kitty section of this kennel is always clean and bright. When unoccupied cat compartments are available, they can be linked together so our cat has expanded living room. One cat gets their turn to use the main room where they can view the country side thru a big window.

They took great care of our pups for 10 days! We even got a few pictures from Kristen (thank you so much Kristen) on walks which was awesome and made me feel good about being away for so long. They are kind and communicate great. Clean kennels and had quite a few dogs trusted in their care.

Boarded my dog here for a werk. They did a great job with her. Definitely reccomend to anyone.

Over the past year and a half, our young pup Tekla has been staying at the Golden Glen “resort and spa” for short periods while we are out of town. She comes home happy and healthy each time and seems to enjoy her time with the staff.

You can't find a better dog boarding place in the North state. Sometimes businesses shine because you can tell that the people who run it love what they do--that is exactly what one can expect from Golden Glen Kennels. The dogs are always excited when they see the staff, which makes leaving them so much easier. Couldn't recommend a better small business.

Took our dog Mabel here when our son had surgery out of town. It is a nice clean location, prices are very reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. Will definitely be using Golden Glen Kennels again in the future. If you are looking for a place to board your dog, this is a great place.

Myself, Brigid (Skitters) and Lily Longtail highly recommend Golden Glen. Keep in mind they’re cats so can’t comment on the dog side of the operation… The cats are always well looked after and the staff are great folks…

Was under the impression dogs were able to spend ample time outside. Instead all dogs were locked in kennels both when I dropped off at 10am and picked up at 2pm. There were over 10 dogs locked in separate crates in the garage and were all barking and seemed like they had been in there quite a while. Garage smelled like feces. When I initially dropped off, my dog was immediately put into a kennel and not given a chance to run around first and get acquainted. I was then called an hour later by the owner demanding I pick up my dog because she was anxious and was trying to escape the kennel. Of course, she was anxious! That was not a healthy introduction to a new environment and it put her under a great deal of stress. I question the owners understanding of dog behavior. I’ve never had an issue boarding my dog at other places before and did not appreciate the owner then insinuating that it was my fault. In short, not a healthy environment for dogs, in my opinion.

My dog baxter absolutely loves it here. He is always excited to see sandy. She takes wonderful care of him and always gives me updates on how he is doing. She is knowledgeable and compassionate.

Sandy is great! She as an awesome set up for all dogs, no matter their size. Tons of shade, kiddie pools to play in, areas to run and stretch their legs. I've been using her services since she started! First with one dog. Then I got a second dog, just over a year ago. They both get SOOOO excited when they know they're headed to see Sandy! 🤣 Highly recommend you trust Sandy with your pups!

My Griffin has a great time!

Thank you

My girl is always so happy to go here for both daycare and boarding. They take such great care of her. When we board her they send us pictures every other day and she always looks so happy

Wonderful place. Our 8 month old puppy has benefited from the extra social interactions with the staff. Our puppy is more calm now, and trusts people more.

We just picked up are two little dogs from NorCal pet services after a 5 night stay. Are dogs were happy and well taken care of. The friendliest people ever. They are professionals and pay attention to details. Their communication is above par even sending us photos of are happy pets. They will be seeing us again. Thank you Nor cal Pet Services ❤️❤️

Wonderful pet boarding service, my pup is always well taken care of whenever I drop her off here. Highly recommended.

They were great. Took good care of my Chihuahua. It was his first time going to a doggy resort. They even sent me photos of him while I was on vacation

What an amazing place! Usually our dog comes home from boarding very wound up, when we picked her up from here it was a night and day difference. Can’t say enough great things about Nor Cal Pet Services! We will continue to use their services.

They are so wonderful! They take such good care of our animals. They love them almost as much as we do. 10/10 recommend

I had never boarded my almost 12 year old dog before and they offered a room for rough dogs the four days he was there he did absolutely great! Will go back he loves his friends at Nor Cal!!

After booking with them a month in advance they waited till we were on vacation to tell us our dogs vaccine was expired and wouldn’t take him. I have heard they have done this to other people as well, they will leave you stranded be carful.

My experience with nor cal pet services was amazing we had our puppy bear scheduled for a stay and where needing a shot still summer was able to recommend a local vet that got me in the same day at a reasonable price . And now we are all good to go thank you so much for the help and professionalism would definitely recommend.

Chunline INC has by far some of the cleanest micro exotic bullies in the world!

He took great care of my 1 year old Pyrenees Odin over the weekend. He took pictures as seen below over his stay also. I recommend them 110%.

We had a trip planned to Montana post-thanksgiving, and our regular dog sitter cancelled due to illness. Jeffrey & family took great care of our frenchie for the week, followed her med schedule, and sent lots of updates with pics. Highly recommended and we will use them in the future

Arrived at Mr. Carlsons home to board my dog for a few days for Thanksgiving and immediately felt uneasy. My husband was standing by the gate because we were waiting for him to open it and when he let us in he acted angry asking my husband if he was pulling on the gate in which he replied no sir, I definitely was not touching your gate. That seemed to be resolved so I get my dog out to take her in and I ask if I could see where she will be staying. He immediately blocks the door and says no. Which I felt was weird and I said I’d feel more comfortable seeing where she will be staying. He said if you would have arrived early you could have! In a very stern voice. I arrived at 5:10 had to wait 15min before he let us in. Over the phone I asked when I should arrive and he said around 5 would be fine. He also stated that there were kids and dogs running around which was why I couldn’t come in. He keeps the dogs out to free roam his house. I said that was ok I would just feel comfortable if I could take a look. He said no again and I asked for my deposit back and he refused. When we spoke on the phone he made it sound like they would have their own area and be crated. Seems like a sketchy guy trying to make a quick buck. I do not recommend!

Another review said that Jeffery was angry for showing up early, he was also angry that we were early. Our instinct was to leave with our pets but we had a flight to catch. We returned after three days and called a half an hour away and when we arrived he would not bring our pets out since we were 1 hour early. Our pets were both sick with diarrea and internal bleeding and one had a cut on his face and a severe infection to his foot, I would not recommend this business to anyone if you love your pets.

We left our Jack Russel and elderly mixed breed with Carlson canine castle for 3 nights while on vacation. When we returned both of our pets had severe diarrhea and bleading internally. The Jack Russel had a puncture to his face, a broken tooth and a severe infection to his foot that we are still dealing with a month later. Jeffry stated that our Jack Russel was trying to claw his way through his metal fence and that is what caused all the damage to him ( why was he allowed to do this, No supervision ? ) This can all be corroberated by our vet. This facility should close it's doors immediately as it is unsafe to say the least. UPDATE: Very little if any of Jeffry's response is true. NO neither Ivan or Boo have anxiety as his photos indicate when dropped off. NO they did not have colitis, They BOTH had severe diarrhea and internal bleeding from a contamination of water, surface areas of the facility or something on the premises ( No it did not clear up in 2 days Jeffry it was more than a week ) YES our vet is retiring but fully licensed and sees some of his long time patrons. ( The first of three vet bills WAS sent and Jeffry only paid half of the first one and stated that he would pay the remainder and never did ) THE SPAM accusation is not true, I believe that if a business provides bad service that others should know about it. I believe this business is a danger to pets and would never trust Jeffry to take care of them again. ( my last negative review of a business was left over a year ago so NO I do not leave spam ) We arrived to drop our pets off a few minutes early and Jeffry was visably angry, we should not have left them at that point. As the other negative feedback shows Jeffry has an anger problem, is unreliable, does not watch pets properly, has an unclean facility and will say anything to shirk his responsibility. NEVER once did he call to ask how our pets were during their illness and injuries, does he care about our pets ? His facility is also on the Shasta County Sherrifs watch for that area. Anyone with a similar experience should report it to the Shasta County Sherrifs Dept.

Jeffrey and Jessica Carlson are excellent care providers. I feel comfortable leaving my two high energy terriers in their care. Jeffrey plays fetch with them! He takes the time to prepare their meals as my dogs have special diets. Jeffrey and Jessica are compassionate about dogs in their care. I highly recommend Canine Castle to care for your dogs.

I have boarded my dog Rafael (65lb German Shepherd) with them more times than I can count and I highly recommend them. They are his home away from home. As we pull up their driveway Rafael gets so excited! As soon as I've opened the door he's flying out and sniffing around or waiting by the front door to be let in, tail wagging, big smile on his face, no thoughts about saying bye to me. They've sent me pictures of him playing around with the other pups they board while I'm away. Never had a bad incident. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They took great care of our lab during our out of town trip. Even during this miserable heat spell! Will definitely be calling them again!

My dogs were happy pups with lots of room to roam while at the Castle. Jeff and his family provided great care and gave me updates as requested. We plan to be back.

Our experience with the Carlsons was fantastic. They were able to take our dog on short notice so we could enjoy a day at Lassen. When we picked him up he was worn out and happy. Would highly recommend!

Nice tour.

thank you :)

Great Family! 💙 and Healthy Frenchies …

From our first training session I could see the love Marty has for his pups and the passion for positive training. I had no idea how to train a puppy, all I knew is I wanted a well trained dog. Marty has helped with every step from crate training, potty training, name recognition, recall, loose leash training, “mine & take it”, socializing and many other commands. That’s a lot when I think about it and there is no way I could have ever done this alone. Bailey is doing amazing and is a total joy. She is a well behaved dog. I enjoy each of our training sessions and look forward to the next! Thanks Marty, Bailey & I could not have done it without you. See you soon.

I don’t know how we would have survived bringing home a puppy without Marty. His endless knowledge, years of experience, and clear affection for all dogs makes him an asset to anyone with a dog. His prices are more than fair, and his training methods are clear and beyond helpful. We are so grateful for his help with our rambunctious golden retriever!

We are first time pup parents and were nervous about the training process for brodie especially because we ended having him unexpectedly! However, after making the BEST decision to go with Marty..brodie came home after two weeks of Marty’s boarding and training and we saw a great change in him overall! I went from having to chase him around the yard to get him inside to now a simple call! Among other improvements, he is now crate trained..and crate trained very well 😅 we appreciate Marty so much! What was also very helpful was Marty’s recommendations/suggestions he sent through text for better training and food/snacks. He walked us through brodies training in a way that was not overwhelming and we can clearly see how passionate and knowledgeable he is with training or just dogs in general! There’s much more I can say but I’ll end it with highly recommending Marty, you won’t regret it!

Marty gave our little girl such a great start in life. Her board and train experience was very positive and taught her skills that we continue to help her learn. He took time to teach us how to work with her. It is so worth it to have a well-behaved puppy. Marty was able to socialize her with other dogs and people. When he is working with your dog, his focus is 100% on helping her or him be the best they can be.

Marty is an incredible trainer. Our 13 week old mini aussiedoodle just completed a two week board and train and we already see such vast improvements in her behavior. The best thing about Marty, aside from his obvious love for every dog he trains, is that he teaches dog owners to recognize signals and behaviors from their dogs that help them become better owners and better trainers themselves. He's also very compassionate. A few weeks ago, I had a day where I felt completely overwhelmed as a new puppy owner and felt like I was doing everything wrong. Marty talked me through some of the training issues and questions I had on the phone for about an hour. He was so kind and affirming. By the end of the phone call I felt much better and less likely to dissolve into a puddle of tears. ;) We highly recommend Marty for anyone looking for an excellent dog trainer, and we're looking forward to taking more classes with him in the future!

Marty is the BEST trainer! We did private in home lessons and board and train for three weeks! My French bulldog came home a much better behaved and mature dog. I highly recommend Marty as a trainer and I love his Pawsitive training techniques we’ve learned!

Marty is an excellent trainer who uses positive reinforcement to train dogs in a great way. He has done an excellent job with my deaf cavalier in the basic manners class and I look forward to participating in more of his classes in the future in my endeavor to make Poppy into a good citizen!

We cannot rave enough about Marty and he has been instrumental in helping us prepare to set our puppy up for success! Examples: -very professional and came with handouts and valuable information starting on 1st day puppy was brought home -evidence-based training methods -socializing with help from Belle (his doggy assistant) and several other dogs that were boarding throughout our time together -fenced in, very controlled environment -helpful with any questions regarding training We love his "pawsitive" style of training and have seen our pup go from being very timid/shy to thriving and becoming a well rounded pupper!

Just completed the Basic Manners II class. Pawsitive Training Center has been a Godsend for both my bride and I, and our 6 month old pup (Barney). We have had 16 dogs during our 53 year marriage and Marty Strasbaugh is without doubt the best trainer we’ve had. He teaches the owner how to train the dog. When we finished the Basic Manners II class we not only had trained Barney to properly respond to several commands, but we had also learned how to teach him practically anything. Marty uses nothing but positive reinforcement – rewarding desired responses. Dogs learn quickly and without punishment. If you would like to learn how to train your dog you can’t go wrong with Marty’s Pawsitive Training Center. pat

We loved working with Marty! Our 6 month old German Shepherd, Kenai, spent two weeks with Marty for his board and train program. Our main goal was to work on Kenai being more polite when greeting us and others- not jumping up on people, and working on his off leash recall. Once Kenai got back home, we saw a huge change in manners. He is more calm and does not jump up to great anymore even when excited. Marty gave Kenai a great head start in his recall, and gave us excellent help in continuing to work with our pup. Highly recommend him for his hard work and skill in working with dogs. He really has the knowledge to help you reach your desired goals.

Jobu is an excellent choice for training, boarding, and supplies! Joanna’s entire home is set up with the dogs needs in mind. She has a great variety of supplies and often adds new products. We love the biothane products we ordered, they are SO easy to clean!

This was my first time leaving my dogs in a boarding facility! Joanna took great care of them and they were happy and loved when they were there! I was able to get away and not worry about them! my girl is disabled and has special needs and she loved Joanna and was well taken care of! I will definitely leave them with her the next time we travel 🩷

I had specific needs for my dog he doesn't play well with others and Joanna made it a point to keep him safe and isolate him so there was no interference with the other borders. She is very professional very good at what she does and she's also a trainer if you have training needs. Every time I go to Redding I will use her Services because she is so good at what she does and she's very affordable more so than others. If you are going to board your pet in Redding I recommend her services explicitly she's an excellent border. Happy boarding! LOL

I have a 2 yr old pitsky that was completely out of control. Did not listen very well, was impossible to take out into public, and would not behave on walks. I wasn't even able to walk him due to pulling and barking at anything and everything. I sent him to JoBu dog training for a week of boarding and training. Since then i am able to walk my dog daily, with no issues. No more yanking and pulling, no more barking, he is well behaved every time i take him out. I was absolutely amazed at the progress Jo made in just a matter of week. Her training improved both mine and my dogs life together. 10/10 would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for help with their pooch without breaking the bank.

Highly recommend Joanna at JoBu, she is like the Dog Whisperer! Used her for both boarding and training. She is very experience in handling training and behavioral issues, was more than willing to accommodate one of my older dogs special needs. Communication was great and Joanna was very patient in leading me through transitioning them back into their home environment. Most importantly, I felt safe in leaving my fur babies with her for 2 wks. Joanna is passionate and highly skilled at her profession, I was amazed at the changes she made in my dogs in such a short period of time and I will definitely use her again!

Great quality dog collars, made with materials that last and don’t get dingy like fabric collars. The trainer Joanna also taught me how to stop my dog from biting my hand when I give her treats in literally 5 seconds. I was genuinely shocked and my dog hasn’t accidentally bit me since.

This place is like paradise for your dog! Not only are the people wonderful but the property is beautiful and well set up for your dog to have an amazing time. I feel it's like Disneyland for your dog! You can tell they truly love animals and take their well being into account, they don't just throw your dog into a kennel and forget about them they are out running the grounds swimming in the ponds and playing with their new friends. Many different fully fenced yards so there is a spot for everyone. My boy can be hard to deal with at times but they welcomed him and he loved it there. I would recommend this place to anybody. It was about an hour drive for us to get there each way so at first I was hesitant but after using them I would drive 5 hours to have them care for my dogs. Highly recommend can't say enough good things about this place.

All of our dogs LOVE it at Shasta Dog Camp. Feels safe and full of love. Running all over and swimming in the pond is so much fun. Big tail wags!!

Absolutely love this place ❤️. Our dog literally jumps over us to get out to the staff and his friends...he never even waves bye

Always treat our dogs great, whether for a weekend or an extended stay
