Dog Sitters in Arlington, Riverside

We had an awesome experience with Pawtroopers, they were responsive and kept us well informed on our super energetic frenchie mix. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone to take care and treat your fur baby as their own. The love and care they gave my Milo was amazing! Thank you Pawtroopers!!!!

Paw Troopers is absolutely phenomenal! I rescued a pup from being PTS from a shelter in Riverside and needed boarding for her as we waited to transport her to Oregon. Immediately, NO KENNEL BOARDING caught my eye as the poor girl had been through so much, I wanted the absolute best situation for her to feel safe and comfortable. When I say ABOVE AND BEYOND, I mean way more than that. They went above and beyond to not only be Daphne's first safe spot but to also ensure my piece of mind throughout the 12 days she was there with updates on her. I can truly feel they cared for her and it definitely showed when it was time for her to leave. The cost was very affordable although I would have paid more for the service she got! They gave me tips for her on training and have training that I will be signing up for virtually. She was shipped off with the cutest little backpack full of goodies for her. A STUFFED STORM TROOPER and training tools!! We are forever grateful for them, as well as Daphne, and I know she'll forever remember them. The love and care they gave her will stay with her forever. We can't thank you enough. Friends for life.

I am writing to express our utmost satisfaction with the services provided by your team. We recently picked up our black lab, Arlo, and were pleasantly surprised by the transformation in his behavior. The positive changes were evident, and we couldn’t be happier.Throughout Arlo’s stay, your team kept us well-informed, providing updates and valuable tips for maintaining his training at home. Arlo himself seemed to adore the experience at PawTroopers, and we eagerly anticipate using your services again for boarding and training. Your trustworthiness and commitment to excellence have left a lasting impression on us. Choosing PawTroopers was undoubtedly the best decision we’ve made, and we now consider you part of our extended family. Thank you for your exceptional service!

We recently boarded Gunther with Pawtroopers and it was a great experience!!!. Everything was extremely well organized and communication was essential for our comfort. The team answered all of our questions thoroughly and effectively. They gave us a ton of advice and brought to our attention that Gunther was being underfed. We look forward to continuing the relationship and hope to schedule obedience training soon. Thanks!!!! Pawtroopers

Paw Troopers a Top Dog place to bring your pet. Such love, excellent care and communication making owners and pets feel safe and comfortable! Nikki was recovering from surgery and we needed someone to watch because of work schedule. They stepped up and she was comfortable, happy and well taken care of, needed to pick up for bandage change, then return and Nikki was happy to go back and see them. They work with you and sent pictures as well!

If you're hesitant or debating and that's why you're reading this review don't worry and just go for it! These guys will not let you down, they CARE. They are hands down the best. After 2 months of research, we are so glad and thankful we found and went with Paw Troopers. Diane and Eric were so good with Axel that when it came time to go home he did not want to go... which tells us he loves them, in turns equates to being treated well. We did the one month board and train, one in home private to follow up and 10 day boarding (never expires) package. We have nothing but good things to say about this experience. The process from A to Z was outstanding, he came home Very well-mannered and well-behaved. As a mother of 3 children who is home schooled (kids are transitioning stages of an infant to a toddler, toddler to elementary kinder, to a kid into a teenager)... There was no way we could have gotten the amount of work that they did with our rescue belgain malinoise/german shepard mix pup done on our own. We actually did not think that we would be able to board and train him anywhere for a month because it's so expensive (especially if it's with a good trainer- BUT these guys r better). They made this possible because they are linked up with affirm financing, we were able to afford the training and even with the finance charges the pricing is still less than what we would pay someone else for just a month board and train (that's without a follow up private in home sess and no additional board days while on vacation). They extended grace and showed us kindness when we messed up on the pick up situation. We gave them a checklist and they made sure our concerns were checked off before allowing him to return home. Everytime he goes to them he comes home with something extra i.e. an accessory, goody bag etc. Overall we live in Orange County and they did not disappoint and are well worth the drive. So so so much value with Paw Troopers, we are gonna stick a with them for life. FYI I do not typically leave reviews unless it's extremely necessary... the level of service and dedication here is extremely on point. P.S. picture attached is to show that they are wonderful communicators as well.... they'd send us updates with photos and video (without us asking).

Pawtroopers was able to take good care of my bearded dragon over the weekend. They reassured me with some pictures of him in his temporary enclosure and also made sure to let him out every now and then to enjoy time out of the enclosure. They enjoyed his company and I’m sure he enjoyed theirs. Thank you so much! Will definitely book again.

My pup Loki just had daycare with Paw Troopers for the first time. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pup somewhere for the first time but they were wonderful. Kept me updated and sent pics. He was a happy (as you can see from the photos they took of him) and tired boy when he got home. Thank you so much Paw Troopers for taking care of my boy so well and not having him in a kennel all day! I will be leaving another review after I board him.

Let’s just say Gunther is super excited to stay at his home away from home lol. Always a great experience. Very professional and welcoming. Been here multiple times and needless to say I would never go anywhere else. Thank you!!!

If you’re looking for any boarding and training this is your place!! Diane and Eric are then best! My little fur baby was here for 3 weeks and is 3 years old. They were very communicative through the entire time and addressed my concerns. Even after picking up Auggy they still keep in communication to make sure he is still in the right track. I loved that I received updates and did not need to reach out first. I also received pictures and loved it! They are literally the best trainers and treat your pups like family. I would definitely bring Auggy back here and know he will be taken care of! I cannot thank Diane and Eric enough!

Judy is the sweetest lady and takes amazing care of my senior German shepherd mix and has saved me life a few times by being able to come over to my house last minute. She is the only person I trust coming into my house without my permission with my sweet baby! She will make sure your fur baby is well taken care of!

I was so relief when I found Judy to take care my 3 cats. She's friendly and knowledgeable about cat. I'm very happy with her service. I highly recommend her.

Although our plans changed, the process of booking pet-sitting with Judy was a complete breeze. Our family was so impressed with Judy's professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of animal care! It's clear for her, your pet's well-being comes first. She was prompt in returning our call and scheduling a meet-and-greet, forthright in discussing her services and the cost, and even had some great advice for our elderly dog. I highly recommend Judy for anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy pet-sitter.

Great service and care for my little one. Good communication and extras, like mail pickup and plant watering.

Judy is amazing! She pet sit our two cats while we were away on our honeymoon, and she did wonderfully! We never had to worry and it was a great relief to have while we were away! We even have her booked for our next upcoming trip! If you're debating it, just call her!! She's a lifesaver.

Judy makes leaving town stess free. She anticipates our and our fur babies needs, is very knowledgeable of all animals and what to do in case of an emergency. This was evident over the phone and we were more impressed upon meeting her. Our kitties love her and most importantly when we are away we are stress free knowing they are in the best hands. It's so amazing to find someone who loves our "kids" as much as we do. We highly recommend her for short or long trips away. She is trusted by many and came highly recommended to us too.

Judy has been taking care of my dogs for many years now We are very happy with her professional service . She takes such great care of our dogs and we feel so at ease when she is with them . The service is professional and we know we are leaving our dogs in good hands . It is a great feeling to be able to go away and keep my dogs home not stressed and us not stressed as well . We love the service and are extremely happy with paw pals and would recommend this service to anyone who needs someone who treats the pets like they are family. Thank you Judy for all you do for us and our pups. Traci and Max G.

Judy did a wonderful job with my very particular poodle. At their first meeting he had an immediate connection with her. She took wonderful care of him and the house while we were gone.It was so reassuring. I would highly recommend!!

Judy has taken care of my dogs for awhile now. I can depend on her to take good care of my dogs and bring in any packages if needed. I was able to have her come over with very short notice during the holidays to take care of the dogs when I wasn’t able to get home and that gave me peace of mind.

Judy is wonderful to work with and she gives extra attention to detail when taking care of my pets. She’s so knowledgeable and kind, a perfect sitter for my doggies. I highly recommend her 💜

I was very anxious about boarding my 2 furbabies. My previous dog walker retired, so you can imagine my trepidation. Staff was extremely friendly and sent me photos when asked. I had both of my pets in a suite to make it less stressful. I believe that was a good call. I would utilize this "hotel" in the future.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I have been taking my dog Comet (husky) here for over 2 years to both daycare and boarding, and I have never ever had a problem. In fact, during my 6 years living in Corona this has been one of the best businesses I have done business with. The entire staff including the manager Amy has provided me with phenomenal customer service. I travel frequently and board my dog here at least a couple times a month, and they have been accommodating getting me in last minute when needed. My dog gives it two paws up too. Forget walk, food, and even treat…. My dog’s favorite words are: do you want to go to Riverwalk! He always has a great time and comes back healthy and safe, and I love how they send me updates during my trip and post their stories on instagram where I can see him too. I’m moving away and will be hard pressed to find another place like this. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother calling anywhere else. This place is the best!!

This place took really good care of my cat. I studied abroad for 6 weeks and had to leave my cat behind. I was so anxious but the staff was so nice and understanding. They sent me pictures and videos, and although my cat was upset to be away from me (she's a big baby), she was healthy and I didn't have to worry about her getting hurt. I often had nightmares about my cat and would call them and they'd immediately send me photos.

You can tell they really care for pets! They have their greeter, Bam Bam (Pomeranian) that welcomed all customers! Amanda, the groomer is amazing!!!

Had my dog stay here for a week! Staff was so professional and friendly and sent me updates with pictures! It was great seeing my little one play with the other dogs and having fun while I was out of the state! I appreciate the photos provided and I highly recommend this place. :)

We bring our family cat here when we leave town for vacation/etc. I can tell our kitty likes it here because when we leave her, she doesn't put up a fuss and even purrs when staff takes her. This warms my heart because I know she is in great care/hands. The staff at Riverwalk are so nice and I appreciate them. Thanks Riverwalk staff.

Very loud and smells like pee where the dogs are often. Otherwise, very amazing staff and reasonable pricing!

We recently went out of town for 10 days and my pugs had a blast at Riverwalk. I didn't worry about them at all when we were gone. I missed them of course and really appreciated the pictures they posted on Instagram.

What makes this facility outstanding than the rest is how their staff treat you. Everyone is sooo friendly and warm. Not to mention how my dogs get easily excited when I drop them off. He just drop dead sleeping at night after his daytime play. I bet he's dreaming playing in their facility. HAHA. Always nice to have this kind of people and service in the community.

Riverwalk Pet Resort has been so wonderful to our family. We had a poor experience at another doggy daycare and were nervous to think that was the norm. At Riverwalk, our pup has been welcomed, loved, and made to feel comfortable. We use RPR for boarding and grooming now, too! Our dog enjoys his sleepovers any time we have to travel or be away overnight.Karen is excellent with our mini schnauzer's regular grooming, including his unruly beard.

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!

Bark tails watched our two fur babies for us during our move. It was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing our pups were being so well cared for and loved on. Our S’more is a bit prickly with people but they were patient with him allowing him to get comfortable at his pace. Barktails will be watching our boys whenever we are in need.

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!

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! 🐾💜

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.

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. 🐾🥰 …

I recommend Kristy 10000%!!! My pup doesn’t do well with boarding so I opted to have him stay home and have Kristy come in a few times a day for feeding, walking etc. She kept me updated with messages & photos the whole week. He doesn’t do well with strangers but he loved her. Thank you Kristy!!!

I needed a pet sitter last minuet and thankfully Kristy had an opening when I needed it. She came referred from a friend but her reviews speak for themselves. I have a 6 month old puppy and she'd never stayed anywhere else, needless to say I was nervous. We met Kristy beforehand and I saw how well she ran things, I was super content in leaving our furbaby. She had great communication, gave me updates if I needed them and the best part my puppy got the socialization she needed. I was super pleased with her care that she's already booked for another visit!!

Kristy is the best dog sitter you can find. There is no one as caring and hands-on as she is. We had her take care of our shy girl for 3 days and everything was perfect. She even posts on her Instagram page when you're away so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We'll keep using Kristy for all of our pet sitting needs!

Kristy has been my number-one dog sitter for at least 10 years. She has many years of experience, and I feel like I am leaving my pets in my own care when I have her come to stay while I go away. All of my animals love her. Her attention to each one of them is outstanding. She is good at delivering medications and doing everything that needs to be done. She has excellent skill in taking care of senior dogs and fragile baby animals as well. I have been very blessed to have found Kristy, and I know that God is with her when she takes care of my animals.

Kristy is an excellent -- outstanding "go to" babysitter for our animal family members. She goes above and beyond to make each cat n dog happy. Kristy is reliable and even sends updates with pictures! She is also a very nice lady to humans too.

Kristy is amazing with our puppy, she genuinely cares about the animals she works with, and is highly knowledgeable and experienced. We've used Kristy multiple times for overnights. I highly recommend Kristy's TLC to care for your pet, you will not be disappointed.

I can see why she has solid 5 stars on every website. Her years of experience shine in the way she conducts her business. Extremely professional yet very down to earth, warm, and friendly. We had drop-in care for our cats for a few days. She did everything we needed plus communicated with us daily. She will work with your requirements and give you a fair price. She even accommodated a last-minute request while we were away. We feel like we could truly trust Kristy with anything, and our future vacations will have us using her business again without hesitation.

Kristy has been our pet sitter for over 5 years now in Riverside. She is an outstanding animal caregiver and always does an excellent job. She is 100% reliable and we are blessed to feel totally comfortable going on vacation or having long days at work knowing she will always take wonderful care of our babies.

Kristy, has been caring for my dog Cali (42 lbs plott-hound) mix for about 6 months now. Kristy has been very accommodating, she cares for Cali 3 days a week. I am really happy w the care she has given to Cali and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.

Kristy is so sweet & did a wonderful job caring for my 4 year old pom-malti poo, Hachi! We haven't been on a family vacation in years, so it was his very first time pet boarding. Prior to the trip, we met up with Kristy which helped ease any nerves. She answered all of my questions & I filled out a form that she provided to ensure that Hachi would receive all the proper care. Kristy sent daily videos/photos of him - making fur friends, going on dog walks & hanging out in the big backyard! It was so comforting to know how much Hachi enjoyed his stay. Just like our family went on vacation, he was on his own little vacation too! Thank you Kristy for your kindness & for taking such good care of my little boy. We will definitely be back!

I'm so happy I found Martina! We were scheduled for a long trip and our dogs needed to be cared for while we were away. I was worried that our larger dog would be difficult but she became comfortable with Martina almost immediately! I've never used a dog walker at all, but Martina does much more than that. She is very professional and attentive to the needs of our pups. Sends photos of them while on walks and play dates. I can't say enough positive things about Martina. I really appreciate her and the services she provides. Highly recommended!

Martina and Waggy Trails has made my life easier and my dog happier ! As the owner of a high energy young dog, I was looking for a solution to keep my dog entertained and active while I’m at my 9-5. Martina was east to get in communication with, and was able to get us on her dog walking schedule quickly! She did a meet and greet to get know us and where my dog goes on walks. She answered all my questions and also asked me important questions that I didn’t think of myself. I felt comfortable upon meeting her and my dog warmed up to her right away by their first walk together. Now when I come home from work, my dog is in a much better mood and I’m a happy momma ! Martina sends you pictures after she walks your dog and gives you an update on how your dog did , which is a great touch! She also was able to accommodate us because we are out her typical area that she serves. Martina is a considerate and kind person who is willing to consider your dog’s specific needs when working with you. She listens and is flexible, which makes me feel that my dog dog is safe and cared for in her hands because it shows she is not just doing a job , she is caring for your dog and wants to do what’s best for him/her. I would highly recommend Waggy Trails for anyone looking to provide their dog more activity, socialization and enrichment while they are away.

Look no further best pet sitter right here! I contacted Martina a week before our weekend trip and she was able to accommodate my family's pugs. She made everything so simple and easy for us. Martina stopped by during the week for a meet and greet and you could instantly feel comfortable with her and see her love for dogs. She completed home visits Sat/Sun and kept me informed of the pups each time with photos and videos. So glad to have found someone local and trustworthy at a great price. Thanks again Waggy Trails!!!

I used Martina and Waggy Trails earlier in the year (2022) for several weeks. She was great to work with and our dog, Sadie, really enjoyed her walks with her. Our trip got extended unexpectedly and Martina was very flexible and was able to add a week for us. It made us feel very relieved that Sadie was in great hands. Martina also kept in touch and sent us pictures throughout the time we were gone and that reassured us she was enjoying her walks. We will be using Waggy Tails again!

Wish I could give Waggy Trails unlimited ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My sweet Molly (miniature poodle) has been going to day care and spending as much as a week at a time with Martina at Waggy Trails since May 2021. I was so scared to leave her with anyone, I had a scary experience with my previous daycare Lady. From the moment I drove up for the 4 hour trial to make sure it was a fit for both of us, Molly was excited and took right up with Martina. Molly is a bit finicky so I knew in my ❤️ I was in the right place! Martina keeps in touch daily via instagram pics of my girl and I love that! Molly goes on a weekly basis which is wonderful, she gets to interact with the other dogs and she stays when we go out of town. To this day Molly gets so excited when we get near Martina’s home. I completely recommend her and trust her with my pet which is my child in my eyes.

Waggy Trails provides the highest quality dog care. Our family has benefited from home visits, walks, and overnight care. Martina, pack leader, possesses such a calm and loving demeanor that our doggy immediately fell in love with her. I can’t recommend Waggy Trails enough. You won’t find comparable care or communication anywhere else.

I absolutely love supporting small businesses and woman owned small business on top of it!!! I was in desperate need for someone to keep eye 👁 on my furbabies while I’m at work 12-18 hours a day. I found this place on the Yelp reviews and they serviced my area on top of it! She checks up on my furbabies whether its hot or cold 🥶, rainy or snow!! Waggy tails does drop in’s too if it is too hot 🥵 to walk them! I truly appreciate her and the hard work she does for our family. My dogs get excited and I get daily pictures or videos of my adorable babies. The company is very dependable, and trustworthy. She’s never missed a walk or drop in since I hired her before summer started and the entire family went back to school & work. I give this business 👩‍💼 the highest recommendation to trust with your furbabies & pets! 🥇🥇🐶🐕🦮🦴

Our dog doesn’t trust many people but she loves Martina… and so do we! She’s always there when we need her and treats our Bub so well.

10/10 would recommend! Martina is the best!

I had an excellent experience with Candace's customer service! She went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, and her professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. She was not only friendly and approachable but also very knowledgeable, providing clear answers to all my questions. Candace truly made the process seamless, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the entire interaction. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking top-notch service!, I want to thank the manager for hiring her ,keep her at all cost

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Candace for the outstanding work she does. She has such a positive, welcoming attitude and treats everyone with kindness and respect. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her work and the people she interacts with, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone feels valued. Candace's professionalism and warmth make every visit a pleasure, and she truly deserves to be acknowledged for the incredible impact she has on everyone she works with. Her dedication and attitude make her stand out in the best way possible—she’s an absolute gem!

Have never had an unpleasant experience at Pet Patrol! I’ve boarded my 13 yr old Beagle here probably 10-15x over the last several years…staff is always friendly, helpful, provides a flexible schedule and there are fun options to add-on to your pets stay (cuddle time, one on one play time, treat time, spa treatment, etc.)! Dogs have options of suites w/ various amenities, play areas aren’t outdated, and from what I can tell they’re more hands-on than places I’ve previously gone. Fair pricing, willing to refund as necessary, and they send you updates/pics! Highly recommend!

Took our puppy here to meet and play with other dogs. He loves it and all the employees too. He's made lots of friends. They take good care of him. And the prices are excellent.

My dogs love getting groomed here. Rachel & Sarah are great, they take good care of my babies and always send them home looking so beautiful 😍 …

I brought my dog for his first boarding experience and when I picked him up he looked so happy. I great sign that he enjoyed his time there. My dog will definitely be going back. They played with him, provided pictures of him playing and feed him the meal I took for him.

So far we've only tried the grooming service. And is great and so quick. Will highly recommend and will come back. My dog's new spa, for sure

Booked my dog for a wash and haircut. In all honestly probably one of the worst cut he has ever gotten. I clearly stated that I wanted a low trim on his behind as well but it looked untouched, to me it is a no no based on how much I paid. I do a better job at home. I was also upset to have been charged an extra fee. I was told when I asked that he would be ready around 12pm and I would receive a text. Around 12pm means around 12pm to me. Have in mind that I had an event that was ending at 12pm, I thought it was perfect, so I did not make any arrangement. I received a text at 11am and they told me that I had until 12pm to pick him up otherwise they were closed from 12pm to 1pm. I don’t think I remember seeing that they closed for lunch on the door. I should have been made aware of that when the lady told be that he would be ready around 12pm. I knew I was going to be there by 12:15pm to get him. I explained it to the lady that called me once I got there but she had no problem still charging me. I was at their door waiting around that time. I even told her that it should have been a courtesy for her to wave that fee since I was in a way mislead and I was a new customer. Her face said it all, if I could read her mind I am sure I would have been more upset. Of course this is a turn off for a first time customer, and since I hated the dog’s cut I certainly will not be coming back.

Our Furbaby is always so happy, content and relaxed after her Grooming. We just updated her vaccines, can't wait to set up her temperament testing.....so she can go to daycare to play.

I've been a FAITHFUL customer for almost ten years. Micah starts wagging his tail the moment we turn onto the block that it's located. He automatically thinks fun, fun, fun. I automatically think my fur son will be safe and happy while I'm away..

Can't say enough about this facility and their staff, Our Pet Tito went to board and train, while it not for everyone their team sat with me and my husband to go over the best option for our dog, Sarah got us us set up and prepared for our dog training, super informative, and she answered all our questions and concerns after our dog was dropped off we received update about progress along with Photos, he's now graduated and we work with Noah for home visit and refreshers when we need, super informative very educational, the staff is so open and so helpful, definitely recommend them for anything involving your pet

I would absolutely recommend Better K9 to any other dog owners I know, for both training and boarding. I was very grateful to have a place in the area where I could feel comfortable leaving my dog (mine has been bit twice and is thus very wary of large dogs - they do intensive behavior evaluations for each incoming dog and separate smaller and larger dogs into 'packs' - which was key in me bringing him here). For training - I'm often shocked with how polite my dog is now in public. I get compliments all the time, and I have Noah to thank for that. The private lessons were worth every dollar, and I wish I still lived in the area to continue them. What I really appreciated about these lessons was how Noah was attentive to my priorities in my training goals, and gave practical and organized advice in how to achieve them. I've had trouble finding another facility with as much expertise and professionalism, and am very thankful to have benefited from Better K9 during my time in Riverside.

I really wish there was negative stars. I went to pick up my German Shorthair Pointer the other day and she here's my truck so I get out and I point to her and call her name like I have at least 20 other times before. I go around to pick her up and a lady comes stomping out at me telling me I can't talk to mydog and was extremely rude. She decided to make up a story in her head and that didn't fly with me. I apologized and everything because I don't want anyone hurting my dog when I'm not watching. She speed thank and I told her she was welcome and warned her what was going to happen then said the b word. I called other location because they didn't answer so I get a call back and explain what happened to owner. She sat there and listened disguising herself as employee. Super unprofessional. I had a run in with another staff member telling me where I was gonna walk. Now it makes sense. If I had a boss like that I'd be angry too. I have 20 employees who love what they do and love me. My dog means the world to me not to mention she is highly trained and competes in frisbee tournaments. If a place can treat a human like that imagine what they are like with dogs when we aren't looking. They keep highly aggressive dogs there without telling anyone. My friends dog got bit there not to long ago and he left a review and her response was no record of them being there which is a lie because he is my good friend. I have let my 5 friends know what they do there. Also place is super unsanitary. They also pay yelp to erase and put bad reviews at bottom Filed a complaint with the better business bureau as well. I paid for a water party they are gonna have but they cam keep it. I'm sure they will pay to delete this as well at some point but I'll have a friend post it back up.really funny going over reviews and all the bad ones say there is no record. Trust me there is. My dog is even on their website.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

Better K9 is the place to be, I had to take a break due to monetary concerns, but will be returning to continue further training with my boy Pascal to get his Therapy Dog training. His obedience training and his ongoing training would not have been successful without the work of his trainers Jack, Sarah, and everyone else!

Our dog LOVES coming here!! And we love it that he loves it. We have done both daycare and overnight.

My dog Kenji loves it there. He goes once a week for daycare as much as possible. I love this place and all of the staff. One of my favorites is Emily. I feel like me and Better K9 are coparents for Kenji. Ha ha. On a serious note they are fantastic and I recommend them. Me and my dog/son are better off because of Better K9.

I was hired as their photographer. They handled the dogs well. Actually took a few Sunday group sessions with my pooch.

We recently rescued our pet and were looking for a place nearby to board her. We chose Better K9 due to its location. For the first time visit, the staff recommends a tour of the facility and a four hour trial visit for your pet free of charge. Based on how your pet did at the trial, the staff will be able to better attend to your pets needs for future visits. After our pet's trial, we scheduled some half day visits to acclimate our pet to the resort. After the first half day visit, our pet did much better. The staff is very attentive to your pet and works with them to make their experience much more enjoyable. The staff doesn't judge your pet and its behavior. They work with your pet and provide recommendations for a better experience. I've met several of the staff and all of them are super friendly and helpful. The daily and overnight rates are pretty reasonable. I hope they can continue offering those reasonable rates for the long future.

I've been taking my dog, Kai, here for daycare basically every Monday-Friday for the last 2 years. I commute to Brea for work, so he's here pretty much all day (roughly from 9am-6:30pm) They keep him safe, giving him rest from play frequently, and rotating him around different packs depending on the pack's energy levels. He has made a lot of friends here, both dog and human. I look forward to dropping him off and picking him up, as the staff usually have a funny story or two to share about him. As a first time dog owner, I was pretty unsure how to properly train a dog. I signed him up for the board-and-train program, and it was pretty pricey but worth it. He learned the basics and we found what techniques work best with him. Overall, our experience here has been great and I'll miss this place if we have to move away.

My Great Dane, Lady, loves to come and enjoy herself. Alex is an awesome trainer. You can tell his experience working with K9 is immaculate. Very effective training and great care for a nice stay.
