Dog Sitters in Elderwood, CA

I brought my very spoiled rabbit to VIP & they kept her in an air conditioning area, where she was kept very well. I highly recommend VIP to care for any of my pets! 💯 % happy with their services. Thank you …

This place is the absolute BEST!!!!!! Every time we leave our “Gracie Lou” there when going on vacation, she comes back as happy and as healthy as can be. The staff is as awesome at taking care of the pets needs as well as the “fur parents” that drop em off! We’re very protective over our little Princess, and wouldn’t dream of ever taking her anywhere else to be cared for, neither should you! I actually wish that I was born with an extra set of hands, so I could give this place 4 Thumbs up!!!!!!! 👍❤️👍

Amazing staff and place. My dog has been going here for the last couple of months when I’m out of town for work or a weekend trip. She’s always returned healthy and exhausted the day of pick up

The only place I trust with our German Shepherd. They take great care of him every time and even got him to be around other dogs (which he's not so great with). We are so appreciative of the friendly staff and everything they do. We tried another boarding place during the holidays because VIP was booked and noticed a huge difference. VIP is the best place to care for your animal family while you're away. 100% recommend VIP.

Excellent !! The staff is friendly the facility is clean all of the dogs looked well cared for my English Bulldog is my baby and she was well taken care of ! Now when I am out of town I don’t have to worry because VIP pet is a clean, safe, and loving place ! Thank You VIP ! I will continue to utilize you !

Elizabeth & her staff are absolutely amazing! They make me and my pets feel like family. My dog and kitty love staying here and they behave better for them then at home! I wouldn’t board my pets anywhere else! Highly recommended! 😃 …

They take great care of our shy/anxious dogs - they were able develop trust with our German shepherd who has separation anxiety & doesn't trust people easily & he's always so excited to go see his friends here! Very kind people that care about the animals a lot, I never worry about leaving my dogs here - this is the best place in the area!

I took my 7 month old cat to this kennel. (I have never had to use a kennel prior to this) I read the reviews and decided to book with them. From the beginning they were very responsive making sure she was up to date on shots etc. When I went to drop her off I was so nervous but when I got there I saw nothing but calm happy animals. The cat area only had one other cat and my cat and her bonded right away. I left there feeling good about my decision. When I picked her up she started meowing she didn’t want to leave! I also was able to text and check in on her. I highly recommend! Thank you VIP, I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my kitty was in good hands. 😻😻

Stella always come home happy! I love that we are encouraged to call and check on her while she's there. Staff is awesome!

This is the first boarding location I have ever used & will never use another as long as they still exist! My dog has been there for three different extended stays now & most of the time she's having so much fun she doesn't really seem to care about coming home :) She had been attacked by another dog (NOT here!) prior to her first stay here & had been apprehensive around other dogs after that. I was nervous how she would react when I brought her here the first time. I explained her situation to the owner who knew just how to handle it & found her a perfect group to socialize with. Now she has regular friends there when she visits! I don't ever worry for a second while she's there. They also wash the bedding before sending her home! Such a relief to have found this place.

Love this place! We left all 3 of our fur babies 2 - dogs and a cat. They of course were happy to see us, but they were well taken care of! My new home away from home for these three! Shirley was knowledgeable about their needs and the facility was great!

My first experience as well as my dog's first boarding. Even though my beloved dog turns out to jump fences, the staff are lovely and I recommend the facility without reserve. I visited several and this one is clean and calm.

This was the first time that we have ever boarded one of our animals and it was a great experience. What helped reassure us, was the fact that they are very strict on being up to date on all shots and flea/tick medications. They also are very strict with cleaning everything daily. This gives you the peace of mind that your dog will not come home sick. There is also a lot of room for the dogs to play and interact. We will definitely be using Best Friends Inn again.

Dependable and Trustworthy kennel that we have been using for the last 5 years. We have two large dogs and Shirley and her team can handle them safely and competently. There's a large space for dogs to roam and even a doggy pool. Every 2 hours the dogs get to go outside. Shirley is very thorough with requiring vaccination records and flea and tick control and my dogs always return home healthy. Thank you, Shirley and the team.

Shirley is THE BEST. I have been using her for 8 years now. What I love most is when we go to drop off our dogs, they are always excited to go, never afraid. They claw to get out of the car to see her.

Your best friends inn has been our go to for our fur baby Toby for the last almost year now. They are absolutely wonderful and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Our little guy stayed for about two month due to my husband and I relocating overseas and they took the best care of him and helped us tremendously with anything we needed for him until it was time for him to come with us. It is such a friendly, warm environment for you and your pet as soon as you pull up. Highly recommend.

Our dog loves it there. Very professional and safe. The fact that our dog gets excited, wags it tail and greets the people working there speaks volumes. Our dog is very social and is provided quite a bit of time playing with other dogs when she is there.

When I dropped off my dog, I did not believe that this establishment was too bad. I wasn’t welcomed back to see where my dog would be sleeping but Shirley appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy. Key word: appeared. My dog was there November 2017 for four nights. She sent pictures on a couple of days but I was never notified that things were a concern. However when I went to pick up my pet, I was told he did well except at night. She told me he barked too much at night and in her words “kept the whole kennel up” so she had to use a training collar on him. I inquired as to what that was. She told me it was a collar that made a high pitched noise every time he barked but in her words “he was too sensitive for that one” and began to bite at it. He was too sensitive for that one so she tried another one. The next type of collar she used was the shock method so she would manually control it by zapping him every time he barked. She said that one “worked much better.” I was stunned when she told me this. She did not call to ask permission nor did I sign anything prior giving my permission to use such a device. Somebody who works with animals all day and has made that her career should know that shocking our animals when we have entrusted them to her care is nothing more than animal abuse.

We found Shirley and her Best Friends Inn after relocating to Three Rivers. This is the best home away from home for any pet. Shirley and her Staff treat our little Dog (Child) Tootsie like one of their own. When we ask Tootsie if she wants to go and have a play day at the doggie motel she gets so excited and follows us around until we get into the truck to take her. Tootsie is a long hair Chihuahua that is a one woman dog, until she meet Shirley, now Tootsie has two Mamas. Best Friends Inn is more than just a boarding facilities, we are able to a vacation and not worry about the care our Tootsie is receiving. Not only do they have play time put also get to swim when the weather is right. When we pick up Tootsie she is just as happy as when we dropped her off, even after being gone two weeks. After we get home Tootsie has to rest awhile from all the fun she had but is always ready to go back and stay again. Thanks Shirley and Staff Steve & Shirley S.

A great place!! I take my cat all the time. Shirley is caring and on top of the needs of your best friend!

The manager who runs the facility is a very sweet man. My dog was at ease when I came to pick him up. This place provided me with a piece of mind to enjoy my last minute travel plans. Highly affordable. If you get referred by another customer you and your friend get a free day! Can't complain with that.

My dogs are always very well taken care of by Dave. It's a great environment for my fur babies.

I noticed the only low rating came recently from a poster talking about customer service. Let me just say that I couldn’t disagree more! I just had a surprise trip pop up last week and he made space for my boyos on a Holiday weekend! For those of you who don’t board frequently you usually have to book that months in advance to get a spot! The caretaker is a very nice man and we are super picky about where we would leave our boys! Facilities are nice with plenty of room and the dogs love it there playing with the other dogs. One of the best and only facilities in the area I would leave my dogs.

My parents and I have been taking our dogs here for a few years anytime we go out of town. The manager is such a sweet guy and you can tell he loves dogs. Is it the Hyatt for dogs? No. BUT my dogs don't need some place super fancy to stay at, as long as they are being cared for, getting attention, and in a safe and comfortable place. We will always take our dogs here as long as we are living in the area. My Golden gets so excited when we pull up to the kennel and let him out, he's like "bye mom, see ya whenever". I would 100% recommend Visalia Country Kennel!

Dave is so helpful and accommodating. The prices are perfect (we have 3 dogs) We will be continuing to bring our pups here when we travel! Highly recommend.

The man who runs the kennel is very friendly and accomodating. My cat was very content when I picked her up, and obviously well cared for. The price was also affordable.

We have brought our German Shepherd here for years and have always been very happy with the man who runs the kennel, and the facility, and it is a very fair price as well.

Dave is wonderful and so good with the animals! The rates are great and I never worry about my dogs when we are out of town.

Called for quote and the guy hung up on us. We told him we are moving and need a place for our dogs while we buy a new house and he said he can't help us because he runs into problems and hung up on us...no customer service!

Dave is a grade individual that cares for animals very kind and helps you accommodate your dog/cat

This is just a case of false advertising. The website makes Christensen Dog Ranch sound like a top of the line facility where dogs will not only be well-housed, but receive lots of play time and recreation. In fact, there is just a barn with kennels (I can't be sure the state of the cages because we weren't permitted to see inside the barn so I’m not sure how other reviewers did) which appears to be kept dark, and the yard seems to be mostly unkempt. I was disappointed to learn that there is only someone there from 8-10, and again from 4-6. The rest of the time the dogs are kept in the barn. I can't be sure but I didn't see an AC unit on the building. When I tried to contact the ranch to make sure they had our dog's feeding instructions, I never received a response. The one employee I met was very sweet and reassuring, but the few times I called I was never able to get anyone on the phone. I also paid for a walk each day and there's no way of knowing if that happened. Just not a good experience, kind of a depressing place overall.

I would recommend this place 10 times over any other place. First for starters I dropped my dog off it was the spur of the moment thing and they were able to take me in. Jade, the young lady that helped us out I told her I wasn't very Techy so because she was telling me to do it online, she helped me through every step of the way very helpful. Also it was a very clean well maintained facility. I love the atmosphere my dog came home in great spirits. Again I say I would highly recommend it.

They took good care of my pooch for over a week while on vacation. Pups have a lot of space on the ranch to run around and enjoy indoor kennels at night. Our pup almost didn't want to leave when we picked her up. It was like a vacation for her, too! We will definitely be back.

We boarded our 3-year-old lab for the day while hitting the trails in Sequoia National Park. We sent our vaccine records in advance. Check-in was straightforward at 8 am, and several other dogs immediately greeted our pup. With ample communication, we successfully set up an off-schedule pick-up of our dog. Huge thank you to the staff for being so accommodating. Pick-up was painless. On arrival, our pup happily waiting for us in a smaller yard with the other dogs who were getting picked up. We paid in cash. Huge thanks to the staff for looking after our pup.

They are a family run business and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. Super convenient location and dogs get to be outside and have playtime in a nice grass area. The kennels are really really big with plenty of space for large dogs.

We took our 154lb great dane "puppy" here for 9 days. Not only was the owner super friendly, you can tell that he genuinely loves dogs! He even sent us pictures & a video of our big guy playing in their huge yard with other friendly dogs without us having to ask! Our guy was so tired from all of the playing, he slept a couple days when we brought him home XD. If you want your fur baby not just watched, but to be loved on as well, this is definitely the place! 10/10 recommend!

We've been taking our dogs to Hartley's Top Dog Kennels since we moved to the area over 5 years ago. Let me tell you, my dogs have never been treated better anywhere else -- Hartleys Top Dog Kennels are the best! Mr. and Mrs. Hartley make sure the dogs are comfortable, get out of the kennel to play in their big and shady fenced yard, and that they are treated like they were home away from home. If you have any special needs (giving medication, feeding the dogs separately,), they will be happy to accommodate your needs. Having been a dog owner for years, I've had to board my dogs on several occasions, and this is, by far, the best place to board your pups. I get a kick out of watching my dogs get excited when I turn down their street; they know they're going "to the spa." If you are headed up to Sequoia National Park, you won't be able to take your dogs anywhere beyond the parking lot. Call ahead and make a reservation with Hartleys, and leave your dog with them knowing that they're well cared for.

We board our dogs there, and we love it. The dogs get to run and play in the large fenced area, but have an air conditioned or heated barn with kennels for nighttime. At other kennels, our dogs came home stressed, from Hartley's they come home happy.

This place was very kind to me and my animals, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I plan on using them again to board my dogs during future vacations.

Great place to take you animals! The owners make sure your pets are taken out and get plenty of play time. They have great prices, love animals, and will take great care your furry friends!

It was my Dogs first time there and we had an amazing experience,she would send us pictures of him daily he was there for 4 days sand 3 nights when we picked him up he didn’t want to go home.

Alex and Rich are absolutely amazing! They took wonderful care of our pups and home when we were gone out of town for a whole week. We got updates and pics of the furbabies (which we loved) and were super prompt to respond during any communication. We highly recommend them and their business for your pet boarding needs.

Alexandra and Rich are the best❣️ Barty jumped for joy as soon as he saw Rich 🤣 They are truly the greatest Boarding in Visalia and trust that Barty is very well taken care of❣️100% recommend 🥰 Grateful I found you … …

I am so glad I found Alex! My husband and I were finally able to take a vacation feeling like my fur kids were in good hands! My babies are fully indoors and she stopped by my house and took excellent care of them and hung out with them. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter I recommend her 100% my cats and dog absolutely love her.

They are wonderful and so accommodating! My dog Zeus loves them. I really appreciate it because she always sends me pictures of Zeus 😍 …

Our Dog was Well taken care of. We were sent updates and pictures of how he did for the 3 days he was there. We high recommend CheesyPaws!

She’s great with dogs and cares about them like they are her own! Amazing experience, she’s stuck with me and my dog lol.

Pet Haven always takes great care of my pets. I recently took my handsome boy Jedi as it was his first birthday. Pet Haven did an awesome job and my baby was well taken care of while he was there. Everyone that works there is nice and friendly. Thank you Pet Haven.

Amazing would 100% be back! Even though we didn’t have an appointment they tried to fit us in! They did an amazing job doing my dogs hair! They are so friendly and seem like they genuinely love what they do!!

Boarded my two pitbulls (3 yrs & 6 months) for 5 days and everyone was so helpful and nice! They loved having my sweet babies. No breed discrimination here ❤️

I Love to take my dog out to have her nails. She loves it. .the price is great. Thank you.

The staff was deliberatly deceptive with the rates they quoted. None of the documents in the registration packet we received had a different rate. We asked lots of questions and staff knew our dogs were staying over night for 5 consecutive days. The rate was quoted both verbally and in writing. Yet, when we picked up the dogs on the fifth day, was the first time they mention an overnight stay is twice as much. That was very unexpected. For as much as they charged, they could have at least brushed their fur, but no, they both smelled and had lots of shedding. Needless to say, we will not be returning. We do not appreciate deception. If I could leave a zero star, I would've.

In Dinuba, they were great but something changed when they moved to Reedley. The Dinuba shop was perfect. Always friendly and did a perfect job. That’s what I came to expect. Coco was always happy to go and full of excitement to be there. Then when they moved to Reedley, the friendliness declined, they didn’t take good notes on how I wanted her groomed. I have decided to look for another groomer. I just wish they hadn’t moved. Not sure what changed. Oh well.

The first time I went it was around $80 for my long haired dog w an undercoat to get groomed, a haircut, etc. The second time for the exact same thing it was around $110, and that time they didn't even detangle her tail, left a huge shaving line down her back, and only shaped one ear. I guess it's a hit or miss for price and quality. Very kind staff, my dog didn't get overly stressed from going here.

I have a chihuahua and it was her first time getting groomed. She was so scared but they made her feel so comfortable.The staff was so friendly and amazing.

They do an amazing job. I just can't afford it very often. Instead of every 6 weeks, Stanley gets groomed about 2 time a year.

I've taken my dog there for her nails and 3 times out of 4 they have cut them to short making her bleed and the lady at the front told me that it doesn't hurt when they cut the nerves she straight out lied to my face.....never again will I go there!! ZERO STARS IF I COULD!!!!!

Best place to bring your pup for an overnight stay. My dog loves it here and is always excited at drop off. The kennels are in an AC building.

I wish there were more stars to give Amanda and her wonderful pet boarding facility. Amanda is so sweet and genuinely cares about your pets. We have two 5 month old puppies and I was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Amanda answered all of my questions promptly when deciding where to leave our puppies and her prices were incredibly reasonable. We boarded our puppies for a week and when we arrived to drop them off, we were so impressed with how clean it was and how nice the area is that she has set up for dogs. I emailed her a few times to check on our puppies while we were gone. Not only did she reply in a short period of time, but she sent pictures of the puppies and a video of them playing. It made me so happy to see how happy and playful they were during their stay. 4 Paws Country Inn is a special place and perfect for your pets when you need a place for them to stay. We have a couple more trips planned this year and I will need to board our puppies again. I will be calling Amanda soon to reserve a spot for them. I want to make sure they can stay at the BEST place in the Central Valley, 4 Paws Country Inn.

Amanda is such a doll! Easy to schedule with and treats your pooches like family. Also extremely affordable compared to other boarding facilities. Highly recommend!

My pups loved this place. Both pups were happy when I picked them up. The location is excellent, the inn is well maintained and can see the owners' love for the pets and place. I plan to use them again! Photos coming soon!

Amanda, the owner is very friendly and caring person and the place is super clean. While i was abroad, she texted me several times, explaining how my dogs were doing and sent videos of my dogs playing at her facility. My dogs were happy , energetic and looked clean and smelled good when i picked them up. I highly recommend this place to people who really care about their pets.

Amanda is incredible and will love your fur baby as if they were her own! My dog absolutely loves staying there and gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Miss Amanda. Leia seriously has the time of her life while at 4 Paws! I wouldn't dream of leaving her anywhere else!

Wonderful open space for the dogs to run. It’s peaceful. The owner is a kind woman who is willing to work around your schedule. I will definitely trust my dogs to go here again.

I highly recommend!! I have dropped my dog off several times and the owner has always been very accommodating😊😊 Amazing atmosphere for your pup!! 🐶🐶 …

I am extremely impressed with 4 Paws Country Inn for numerous reasons! I had to travel recently and did not feel comfortable leaving my 3-legged cat home alone for the length of time that I would have to be away as well as the fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off practically every night, close to my front door by surrounding neighbors. I proceeded to make calls and compare prices. Not only was 4 Paws Country Inn more reasonably priced, willing to accommodate during this Covid-19 nightmare, but most importantly provided my precious cat with a super clean, caring, and safe environment!! I received so much more than a 4 night pet stay boarding!! I was given peace of mind which is priceless. I can go on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Amanda prior to bringing my cat Pumkinhead. She was so easy and pleasant to talk to. I had nervous “mommy” questions which Amanda answered with professional expertise and reassuring patience. There was absolutely no pressure and I felt like she had a genuine love for animals and took her profession very seriously. I appreciated her attention to detail and her verification of my animal’s vaccination status via her very professionally drafted contract. This assured me that she would be also safeguarding other pets as well as my own. The day I arrived to drop off my precious kitty, Amanda welcomed us warmly and assisted me with my heavy items. Her facility is indeed a beautiful country inn and the outside is well maintained and full of natural charm. The inside is equally immaculate and the aroma is nothing short of clean and fresh. I was amazed that the kennel full of dogs had no hint of animal waste at all!! The destination of my cat would be a lovely large enclosed ward with a spectacular window and ledge for viewing the spacious fenced in yard. I was so happy to see the cat tree and three story crate that would accommodate my cat’s high back litter box and room to spare. I had expressed to Amanda how my cat was very leery of children and usually would hide if they came near. It was an unfortunate result of a truly traumatic event that occurred involving a 4 year old girl who may have been autistic. Amanda proceeded to instruct her sons (Jase and Bryce) of my cats’ fear and and cautioned to move slowly when they are around her. I really appreciated her giving this “heads up” to her sons who routinely help her. I was able to leave my cat in her very capable hands... 😅 I also received wonderful pics of my precious and I almost cried! She was enjoying herself. And the icing on the cake so to speak was what I witnessed when I was reunited with my cat. I could not believe my eyes!! Amanda had given me my precious and her two sons were standing nearby. As I anxiously released her from the carrier she greeted me and meowed. I knew she was happy to see me. Then she went to rub against Bryce’s leg and he picked her up. She didn’t meow or anything. She didn’t turn to cling to him as if in fear, which she often does even to me when I pick her up. Instead she let him hold her and she was totally okay with it!! Then when Amanda told me that he had spent much time with her in the cat sanctuary and often spoke to her saying “it’s okay sweetheart” I knew he had helped her recover from her fear of children!! 😭😻😍💕 Amanda quickly told Bryce to let her down now so that she could be with me, and as he set her gingerly down onto her 3 paws he extended his hand and she turned back towards him and rubbed her cheek on his hand. That right there was a miracle!! I am grateful beyond words to Amanda and to her helper sons Bryce and Jase who stand with her, smiling with the face of little angels!! 😇

Good place to leave your dogs since there isn't good reliable facilities near me, dog have plenty of space to run in secured fenced runners, my dogs seemed to liked because when I picked them up, they went to her (the owner) like saying goodbye.

I have been to this establishment several times. It is always clean. The dogs are happy and well cared for. Our dogs love coming here. The owner does an excellent job with them.

Dogger was well cared for. Came back early and was not charged full amount! Very happy with experience.

Careful leaving your dog with her because she stated in writing that your pet is under Consant supervision I came back to pick her up and no one was there. For 20 mins. We waited.

My puppy loved it there. She took great care of my fur baby!

Great food with an amazing view. Can’t go wrong

A good shopping experience

We recently left our dog for 3 days with Ann at Riverside Paradise. He had a wonderful time playing with all the other dogs. He is a senior dog, but he played until he couldn't play any more. Ann was even good about feeding our dog the special diet of homemade food & treats that he is a custom to. It was reassuring to receive all the pictures she sent us. We may even take him out frequently for play days. We highly recommend Ann at Riverside Pup Paradise.

Ann is an amazing caretaker for our furry family members! One of our dogs settles in quickly and is ready to play, play, play. Our other dog is a little bit shy and takes time to warm up. Ann is always kind and understanding to their individual personalities. We all appreciate the pictures she sends us, giving us peace of mind that our fur babies are having just as much fun as we are!

Ann is great with our little guy. She always updated the owners via a website photo sharing. I like how our dog is in a home setting when we are aaay

I called to inquire information about boarding and the lady who answered the phone was rude and sarcastic.

Since I've never provided dog boarding for this person, I'm not sure why there is a review...? Wonder what he is reviewing.

Always cares for our girls in such a great way. Our dogs are never afraid to go into her house. They follow our directions and keep us updated when we are in long trips. Definitely recommend.

Had one on one training with my puppy. Highly recommend. She answered all my questions and gave me many tips.
