Dog Sitters in Dixon Lane Meadow Creek, CA

Roberta of Pampered Pooches really loves dogs and animals, this shines through in her 5 star personality! The Bishop area in the summer is just too hot for big dogs to be outdoors all the time even though she does have misting set up outside to help cool them down, but I feel that an A/C indoor room is necessary to accommodate for the hotter temps and to bring the dogs in for a break from the heat and dust. The small Pooches do have an indoor room. My 20 months old retriever got a cold and bad cough (he has all shots up to date), Roberta quickly called the vet to get advice for this and took care of him and I'm grateful for her prompt care, but I believe his coughing and sneezing was in part due to the constant yet necessary misters and also the huge dusty horse corals that are all part of the facilities and he was also exhausted when we picked him up (usually he's very high energy). I do recommend Pampered Pooches for no longer then a two to three day stay in the summer (my pup was there for five days), unless an indoor A/C room gets set up, then I would not hesitate to board my baby there longer.

You could not find a better place for your doggie to be cared for than here. We came up to ski & wanted to leave our girl in the warm loving care that she is used to at home. This is exactly what we hoped for. In fact she wasnt too sure she wanted to leave💞 …

We left our pooch with Roberta for two nights. We felt so at peace with leaving him here and like he was well taken care of. She made it a point to bond with our dog and let him warm up to her. She also does dog vaccinations and dog bathing.

We needed a place to board our two pups for a day and glad we stumbled upon Pampered Pooches. Roberta was able to get us in with only a days notice. Make sure your dog has received the K9 flu vaccine prior as it is required. Fortunately we were able to get it on our way into town. As for all the sensitive pandas on here and other sites complaining about her personality..grow some thicker skin and get over it. She is a dog person and loves dogs. Not everyone is going to be your cup of tea but that's no reason to trash a business online. Our interactions with her were genuine and fun. When we picked up our dogs they were happy and we have no reason to think they had anything but a great time

Roberta is pretty awesome. She made a point of bonding with our Labrador this morning before sending us humans on our way for a one-night overnight. I’ll update my review after we pick up our lab tomorrow afternoon.

I was going out of town and needed a sitter which I had never needed before so it was new to me and my gang. Roberta was comforting to me when I left my furbabies with her and her staff for a week. Prices are very reasonable. Hidden amongst the horses hooves, the drive in is beautiful. I was in a pinch really and I'm just really grateful for the boarding services available. True blessing.

My Dogs love this place . For Grooming and Boarding. They feel so comfortable, that they just walk in like it's their second home

Roberta was the only one in town who could cut my cattle dog Rosy's toe nails. Rosy did not like her nails being trimmed but Roberta got it done in seconds flat. Five stars for being good to the dogs.

LOVE This Facility and Roberta really knows Dogs! My 2 Cattle dogs Love it There! They feel the KINDNESS !!🐾🤎 …

Love it here. They are always able to take our dog last minute and care for him. He seems to really like it there.

Our huskies have been clients for many years, its doggie heaven being able to run free and play in the streams. They howl with excitement as soon as we turn off 395, realizing where they're heading. Our family is very grateful for such an amazing place to board our dogs.

We have day boarded our pups here many times - and when we ski mammoth our pups love it here. Last year we left the dogs for a couple weeks. It's like a vacation for the dogs - ponds and big wide spaces to run and play.

Beautiful grounds in Round Valley. The dogs run free during the day and are crated at night. There are no kennels and minimal oversight, but it’s clean. Smaller yards for smaller dogs. My thirty-five pound cattle dog spent the weekend here and was put out in the general yard with larger dogs with the aggressive pack and ‘dog park mentality.’ She came home with a deep scratch across her nose to just under her eye. That said, Donna’s Dog Ranch is not for every dog, but it’s heaven for some.

Amazing! They took such great care of my husky Nami. She was a happy tired pup when we picked her up. She got to romp around outside all day with her new furry friends and it was perfect. Editing after 8 months, we use Donna's every trip we take now, making it easy and stress free to travel! Nami knows where we are going when we turn off the highway and gets super excited. If I could give more than five stars I would.

We traveled up to mammoth and our really big puppy got to come here for a day while we were on the mountain. He had a blast. Allie and Judy were wonderful, very accommodating last minute, and kept our favorite little guy safe all day. He got to play all day while we did too! I highly recommend this place for boarding/ day care! We will definitely be using them again.

It’s hard leaving your fur babies behind even when you’re doing something exciting like hiking Mt Whitney. I am so happy we found these guys! Everyone was super friendly, including the other pups and horse! They did such a good job with our shy girl they had her bouncing around carefree and when we pulled up she didn’t even notice us! 10/10!

It's a miracle I ever found Donna in the first place. Her kennel is unlike any on Earth. Even friends who come to visit from down south admit they haven't seen anything like it before. Rusty the husky is very anxious and hyper-responsive, but he never turns down a stay a Donna's! Unable to explain how comforting it is to have a place you can leave your family member and not have to be worried if they are being taken care of and enjoying themselves!;*) Summer

Horrible experience. The owner (overweight man, poorly groomed, rude) met me and my puppy at the gate. My 10 month old chocolate lab puppy was super excited and jumping up and down as puppies do. The man took her leash and started YELLING at my puppy, “sit” “wait” and “down” while pulling hard on her leash. He then asked me if I had another collar (she wears a harness). I said, no and he said, “this isn’t going to work.” I asked for my money back and left. This man should not be allowed to handle anyone’s dog. I can’t imagine what he would have done to my puppy if I wasn’t standing right there. Jody Martin, Bishop, CA

Had a hard time getting a spot, but one I did I realized it's because this is a great place. The owners took time to get to know my dog during the intake and went the extra mile via text to let me know she was having a great time. We'll be back!

Our dog Bleu's first Day Camp experience has been a great one! Beautiful surroundings with wonderful "Camp Leaders"! Highly recommended.

Sierra Dog Ventures is THE place to send your dog when you're out having a not-so-dog-friendly adventure. My dog Cole is my #1 trail buddy, but when my partner and I wanted to take a day trip to Yosemite, we knew it wouldn't be a good fit for bringing Cole since the park has lots of restrictions on where pets are allowed. Cole got to have his own adventure at "camp" with Sierra Dog Ventures while my partner and I spent the day in Yosemite. Since the trails in National Parks aren't dog-friendly, we would not have been able to pull this day-trip off it weren't for Sierra Dog Ventures. We left at 5am and didn't return until dark. But knowing Cole was having the time of his life with Christi and the dog pack meant we didn't feel guilty about being gone for the full day. Christi picked Cole up from our house and had him out for the full day (about 9am-4pm). We came home to a tired, happy (and still a bit wet from his favorite activity--swimming) Cole.
