Dog Sitters in Arcilla, CA

My husky, Azula, has been coming to Better K9 for around 3 years. I cannot stress enough how much she has loved this place. She starts to recognize the route when I’m about to drop her off and immediately starts crying with impatience. Not only has she made friends with the dogs, but with the staff as well. They have shown, on multiple occasions, that this is not just their job. They love these dogs. They are amazing and thoughtful, we’ve received Christmas cards/treats and overall, friendly service. On her last day, the staff came out to say bye to her 😭 I have included pictures they took of Azula to show how much fun and caring this place is!

Better K9 has been wonderful for our dogs. They love going there and get great care. We appreciate how they keep us informed and make sure our dogs are doing well. We have had a fabulous experience with Jack Reacher, the trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Our dog has become much better trained and more reliable. We are excited about continuing to learn from Jack and helping our big dog be at his best.

I recommend this Doggie daycare, staff are always welcoming, staff greet you with kindness. I feel very comfortable leaving Jax.

My frenchie stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. When I picked him up he immediately wanted to go back inside which was a great indication that he was happy while there! He came home exhausted and slept for hours. Will definitely use again

Very caring and attentive staff. Excellent facility. Brought my Aussie pups for an evaluation today and they will be going back for doggy day care and agility training. Got a report card and felt like a proud kindergarten parent!

My dog is a new boy! I adopted him at about 1 from a City shelter, he had never left the backyard prior to being surrendered to the City. He was very overreactive to everything, no understanding of a collar and leash. What I loved the most is that all breeds are allowed to mingle and ay as part of pack time. We are 7 months out since he completed his 21day training stay, he continues to be as good as the day he came home! Wonderful job😀

Great staff, they offer my pup playtime, grooming, feeding some training as well. It's a great place for my baby boy

The staff is welcoming and open, making sure your pup(s) feel welcomed. They do a trial run to ensure your pet is well behaved and fits in with the other pups. I really appreciated this because then I knew my dogs were with other pups that were also vetted. The facility is well equipped with indoor and outdoor activities and is very clean. Security is of utmost importance as well. We have 2 dogs and they boarded them together at night which made us feel more comfortable.

Our 3 year old foxhound loved her time at Better K9! She was at the Corona location for 3 weeks to learn obedience and was also boarded. The staff were quick to reply if we had questions and also provided updates and photos throughout her time there. They even called to inform us she wasn't mastering a few commands and asked if they could keep her a few extra days to ensure she learned them at no extra charge! Jack did an amazing job teaching our girl basic commands and instilling obedience into her. She looked happy in every photo we received and came home well mannered. I highly recommend Better K9 for boarding or training! Jack is a great, thoughtful trainer and the staff are incredibly sweet.

The staff at Better K9 have taken care of Wylie at overnight camp at both of the facilities since he was 2 years old . He loves going there. When I first took him to other overnight facilities, he would look over his shoulder so sadly at me as I dropped him off. With the Better K9 staff, he walks right in and never looks back, his tailing wagging a mile a minute. Now that he is older, the great care they give him, including his medications, is a great comfort to me. He is always happy and more energized when I pick him up than when I dropped him off. He thrives on the attention the staff gives him and the chance to "just hang out" with other older dogs. Audrey and Veronica and their staff are great.

We left our 7 months old lab with Michelle for a week last June. Bailey’s trainer had recommended Barktails to us because we were in need of boarding in a pinch. The experience was awesome. Bailey was very comfortable with Michelle from the start and had a blast during her stay. Michelle consistently kept us up to date with pictures and videos. She was even willing to spend time teaching Bailey how to swim. Though Bailey wasn’t ready just yet Michelle was sweet enough to send her home with a gift. Bailey used that pink swim vest to learn how to swim at home the following week. And since then we can’t keep her out of the pool. Next time we need to board Bailey we will definitely make the call to Barktails. They go above and beyond. An we absolutely know Bailey will be in a safe home environment.

Barktails was an amazing experience for my senior dog, Tanner. Michelle watched my dog for a week in her home while my family and I went on vacation. This was the first time I had no worries leaving my dog. We got daily updates and pictures. Tanner was so happy there and loved everyone at Barktails. They treat all the dogs as if they were their own. I will definitely be using Barktails anytime we go on a trip! Don”t hesitate to use Barktails for your furry family member!

Michelle at Barktails is wonderful! My (90 pound pup) can be tentative around other dogs. Michelle was very patient with her and took the time to truly help her become comfortable! She will even send messages and video updates so that I can see how she is doing. Now Rey runs right up to the front door ready to play for the day! Thank you Michelle and Barktails! We look forward to our next time with you! 🐾💜

I'm so happy that I found Barktails! I truly feel when I leave my pups with Barktails that they are being taken care of the way that I would, providing love, attention, care and of course, a lot of play time! Whether at my home or at their location, I know I can be away and not worry about how my kiddos are doing. Frequent updates with pictures is so great! Also, 2 of my pups are on medication, and I trust that they will get their meds as needed. I highly recommend Barktails!

Michelle is kind and compassionate! She truly cares for your pet while they are in her care. She sends daily messages and pictures that are always so reassuring! She goes out of her way to make you and your pet comfortable… and most importantly that the pets are safe! We will absolutely be using Barktails again!

Barktails is the ONLY petsitter I will trust with my dogs! My husband and I were able to go out of town together for the first time in forever because I had 1000% percent confidence Michelle can handle our two quirky kids with some medical needs. She also loves and treats your dogs like they are her own. We all had a vacation. 🐾🥰 …

Our dogs had a fantastic time at Michelle’s—they didn’t even want to come home after 10 days! As pet parents, we felt a level of peace of mind that we never found at other boarding places. Michelle and her husband provide exceptional care for our fur babies, sending updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Our pug required some extra care/needs, and Michelle handled everything perfectly. Just a heads-up: your pet might come back a little sad or even lovesick—ours did! Yogi developed the biggest crush on Joe. Despite the distance, this will definitely be our go-to place from now on.

If you’re looking for a place that would take great care of your fur baby like their own, look no further. I’ve booked with michelle several times now and can say that she always does great with my baby girl coco. Michelle is knowledgeable, reliable and really sweet. I’m given picture/video updates of how’s coco’s doing which is always appreciated. I can tell coco always has a good time and is well take care of. Thank you again Michelle!

Barktails provided amazing care for all of my pets. They definitely went above and beyond, by sending me pics and updates on all my babies. I could tell they were all happy and enjoying their time with Michelle. It’s always hard leaving them while I’m out of town, but knowing they will be in good hands with Barktails makes it easier. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services in the future.

We had our dog stay here over the weekend and he loved it! Pickup he was the most calm and happy. We really liked that they send daily updates and photos. They also require up to date vaccines and medical on all animals boarding which gave us peace of mind as well. Pickup and drop off times were flexible as well. Recommend this boarding facility and will use again when we take a trip.
