Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Cindy is an absolutely fantastic sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her care for our dog and our home whilst we went on our family holiday. Her communication before and throughout our sit was fantastic, and she even took our dog to the vet when he needed an unexpected checkup. She took great care of him and sent daily updates including videos and photos of their time together. We could tell that he felt very relaxed in her company. Thank you so much Cindy - it is a real godsend to have someone so kind and caring to take care of your pets and home and we would be delighted to have Cindy back again in future.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

Great place for daycare or overnight stay for your dog. Splinter gets so excited when we turn onto the road and he sees the building. It is easy to see everyone there really loves dogs and Valeri, the business owner, is so nice and easy to work with. I feel confident my Splinter is happy and safe at Rover. Highly recommended!
Great place, good energy. Valeri was easy to talk to. She even took the time to send me a couple of pictures of my dog Hank with his new play pals. The look on Hank's face said it all. (Happy dog.) And speaking of Hank, he's been pestering me to let him say a few words about his stay at,"Send rover on over." Hi Hank here, I promised my mom I'd keep it short. But it will be tough because i have soo much to say. I really like this place. I have a new best pal, "Milo." He's everything you'd want in a friend. Fun, funny and spontaneous. He even looks like me After a hard morning of play we have naptime. Now, naptime is not something I usually look forward to but I actually welcomed it here. The people that work here are kind and friendly. And get this, we even get to bring our own bed and blanket for overnighters. How cool is that!? I give ,"Send rover on over" 5 plus tail wags.
This place is wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and provide a high quality experience.
If you have a fur baby and need day care, play dates, boarding or training Send Rover on Over is the place. I trust Valerie and staff with my heart. Her name is Molly. She has so much fun playing with the other pups and begins whinning as soon as we turn onto their road. I can't recommend it more highly.
My dog loves it here! Great supervision. Dogs are carefully assessed for temperament, and grouped with dogs with similar energy levels. No aversive methods used. My dog comes home tired but not exhausted.
Started bringing my Wesite weekly for daycare to socialize and we couldn't be happier. Valerie is so knowledgable , caring and truly an advocate for the dogs in her care. I felt she really knows her craft and watches out for all of the dogs, choosing what is best for them in different situations. My Westie is so happy now to go for her "day of play"..Next we will plan an overnight . I Know my dog will be in the best of hands..Highly recommend
Very happy to say that "Oliver" the groomer listen to what I wanted. He nailed it. Schnauzer cut all the way. Valeri is easy to talk to, she worked with me on my time. I have a new grooming family. Woohoo.
Very insightful related to dogs, dog care, breeds, disposition etc. Training and socialization are core part of the system and they are In touch and in tune the individual dog. We were pleasantly surprised that Becca correctly identified the dog's breed which had excaped us. She served as the advocate for the dog and his interest: we could not have asked for anything more. All the dog's in daycare seemed happy and content.
My dog got kennel cough her because Val goes on the 'HONOR SYSTEM" when it comes to checking pet vaccines. Been boarding and going to classes with my sogs for 25 years and this has never happened. Very unprofessional.
Had "Signature" waygu burger. Hooked to perfection. If you want medium rare, order medium. Margaritas made with fresh ingredients. Can hardly wait to try their ribs.
Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!
Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾
We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.
I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.
Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.
Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.
Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.
We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.
We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.
We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.
The first time I saw Chris Z of GDDC&SC he was walking 9 dogs near where I work- I had just moved to Willits & could not believe my good fortune because I had only seen that action on NatGeoWild!! So with his permission, I filmed him & then got his number. As soon as I was off work, I made arrangements for my two dogs to pack walk with him & also got on his waiting list for when he opened his shop on Main Street. (BTW! The design of the shop is just amazing! Go Diz!) - My Lab mix had basic training but was so under-exercised (combined w/ my own inconsistent pack leadership) that he often redirected his energy escalating-to-aggression upon seeing dog-passersby (-esp in the car) toward my usually dominate beagle-mix. And she had her own issues too: very nervous around other dogs (no kidding ya?); she would salivate to the point of dripping foamy spit like a St Bernard. Well Chris has rehabilitated them both. Bongo the lab is a high energy boy & Chris’s work & service has been a game changer for him. See him sleeping - photo below? That’s an after school napnap! Bongo is also a recovering Ballaholic & has learned how to play ball w/o fixating on the ball because Chris trained me HOW to enforce a “wait” before bolting after the ball-it was a revelation. Sook is also thrilled & says “thank you Chris!: no more redirected/misdirected chomps” & now (bonus!) she has other friends to share a lounge chair with! (See photo - /not at the shop/five years ago she would have been hiding under a bush slobbering uncontrollably) If you have ever wished to have access to a world class dog whisperer-little Willits Ca has a bonafide one right here. Chris is a joy to be around, he is simply gifted & has worked for years to hone his craft. (He was a dog walker in NYC!) My dogs adore him I adore him. NYC surely misses him. I would be remiss if I did not also share that Chris served in a sacred duty for me in a most unusual way - before the pandemic - by handling my dogs at my mother’s graveside service. It was a comfort to have them with me; my mom loved dogs & all animals, so having my dogs there was a way of honoring that part of her. Chris understood this & was also the only person that I could have trusted on that particular day to handle them so that I (and they!) could remain completely relaxed regarding behavior and safety on the day she was buried; (Background: Chris does pickups and dropoffs) and on that day - Christmas Eve- he took them to and from the cemetery, such compassion & support one never forgets; during that period of time he also helped me pull my frail mother up in her bed on several occasions (while she was in Hospice care at my home) then took my dogs off to play school. In addition, he is extremely conscientious about cleaning his facility, his gear and vehicle. He masks up before coming into contact w/ his clients and visitors to the shop. I (and many) appreciate that additional professionalism.
Chris has a great business model that is very hard to find. He has professionalism, yet at the same time is so personable to be around and loves the dogs like his own. You know your dog will be in good hands with Chris. Each day he takes all the dogs on a long pack walk, which is great for the dogs physically, socially, and is like a lesson for the new pack members as they learn to walk along with the group. Plus they just love it! After that they head back to the Day Care for the rest of the day for more fun and some relaxation. We have also had Chris do some one on one work with our dog to help her with some leash training and other skills and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend Chris!
We have a mixed breed dog that is an only child of older parents. So needless to say, he had some issues. We were so happy when we came upon Chris' Good Dog Day Care & Social Club because it was exactly what all 3 of us needed. We had been searching for a long time and driving from Potter Valley was well worth it once we found him! Chris is a skilled and knowledgeable dog master. Right off the bat he told us a few things we needed to change and work on with our dog. For the next couple of days he took extra time to model for us and work with our dog, not just telling us what to do. By pointing out ways we could improve our work with our dog his behavior began to change, too. He was so helpful! We appreciated his frankness and honesty, as it was exactly what we needed as dog owners. One can rest assured that while your dog is at Good Dog Day Care & Social Club they will be attentively watched and taken care of so that they feel balanced and comfortable. Be sure to take Chris up on the Pack Walks because your dog will be one happy camper being part of a pack! His prices are incredibly reasonable and he is willing to take the time to share his expertise with you. Quit wasting time on YouTube training videos! Chris is the real deal.
We were so happy to find Chris, we have two dogs that needed some socializing and long walks. He is very friendly, professional and was so helpful with our one dog that needed a little extra socializing. He also really helped me have more control when they are on the leash, walks are so much more enjoyable now! Our dogs loved it when they spend the day with Chris and the pack. I always like to see the crew walking around town. Thanks Chris!
Maggie and Sadie LOVED going to Good Dog Daycare with Chris! Unfortunately we moved out of the area and I’m pretty sure the girls still miss going. We highly recommend Chris/Good Dog Daycare and Social Club! It’s the best!
Chris was super nice and caring to my dog. He took great care of him while I was at work and my boy was always tired and happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend him if you need a dog sitter.
Ann was so lovely to work with. I talked with her several times before our arrival for our wedding and she ensured that my pup's stays were seamless! She observed the dog's initial introductions appropriately and loved our Roma! Absolutely beautiful and stunning property for pups to hang out!
We had an amazing experience with At Last Farm and I am whole heartedly recommending it. It's a safe and professional place for dogs. The dogs have lots of space to roam freely, everything is safe and double fenced and they are being supervised all day. Since it was our first time boarding our dog Frank I was quite nervous. Ann was great! She took the time to sit down with us so that Frank could familiarize himself with the new environment and the other dogs and so that we could get a better feeling too, before leaving him with her. Ann is very experienced and you can feel that the dogs well being is her highest priority. The way they followed and listened to her it felt like the dogs there all belonged to her. I believe that more generic boarding places will always tell you that your dog is fine, so that you will bring them back. But for some dogs places like that are just highly stressful. I was worried about that, so I highly appreciated that Ann was honest about how Frank was doing during his first boarding experience. Ann is a genuine and wonderful, dog loving person and I would board Frank again with her without any hesitation. Thanks again, Ann!
Ann, the owner, is a valuable asset to our community. She has 7 acres for our beloved pet dogs to play on. My sweet Australian Terrier, Ziggy, loves going there. She stays out all day with the dogs while they play. Everything is double gated to prevent accidental escapes. I highly recommend.
A wonderful dog resort that radiates love, positivity, and safety. Ann runs a lovely business that provides a safe, unique, and fun space for dogs to play, relax, and rest. Gus, our 2 year old Goldendoodle loved his stay at At Last Dog Camp & Boarding.
There is no better place to board your dog and no more caring person than Ann Kanitz. Its like a Utopia for dogs. The property is double fenced and they have the freedom to explore.
Never a more beautiful setting for your dog to have the perfect stay. It is nestled amongst the Mendocino coast redwoods.
Rude and extremely unprofessional!
After boarding my little yorkie in kennels all around the area and always picking him up sick with kennel cough, or even a hurt leg, and taking weeks for him to unstress, I was very skeptical of everywhere. Just seemed no good solution for leaving him anywhere. I was referred to Christy, and was still skeptical until I met her and saw her place! She is so nice and her place is really clean and dog friendly! You can tell right away how great she is with dogs. She kept him for 10 days, and sent daily pictures and updates. I felt really good about where he was and how he was being treated. I picked him up and he was so healthy, happy and even bathed! So nice to be able to know I don't have to stress about going away anymore and what I will do with Max! Thank you so much Christy, you're a gem!
My two pups Bella and Bode just love Christina's pet care. They didn't want to leave when I came back to pick them up! I know they are in loving, caring hands when I drop off at Christina's. My highest recommendation !!!
Christina is fantastic! She took care of our large, energetic puppy, Charlie, for 8 days. This was my first time boarding a pet, so I had concerns. But Christina eased all of those right away. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and asked all the right questions to learn about our puppy. While we were away, Christina sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She even made homemade food to add to Charlie's kibbles! Upon pick up, I could tell Charlie felt very comfortable with Christina and had had a great stay. She is the only boarder I will call next time we have a need.
This is Molly my puppy who spent 3 nights at Christina's pet sitting. Molly made new friends and enjoyed her time. Christina sent pictures every day of activities that Molly was involved in with other dogs and cats as the picture shows. I highly recommend Home Away From Home if you need a caring person to take care of your pet.
At first I was a bit apprehensive leaving my beloved dog with someone I did not know. However, upon meeting Christina and seeing the way she treats her own dogs and how clean her house is I felt very comfortable leaving him there for a few days. Christna is great and treated my dog extremely well. She sent pictures a few times every day and I could see that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Home away from home Christina pet sitting. Everything was great!
I highly recommend Home Away from Home, Christina's Pet Sitting and I would give her 10 stars if I could. Right away when I contacted Christina I could tell that she was very professional and cares a great deal about animals. Before my Mia came for the weekend we arranged for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would get along with her pets. Luckily, all went well. Mia had a great time at Christinas and she sent me daily pictures and updates which I truly appreciated. The name of her business accurately describes that it is a "home away from home" for your pet.
Our dog needed a sitter for one night at short notice. Christina was super flexible and helpful. It was the first time in our dog's life to spend a night without us. At 5 months old, he and Christina did a great job. The next day we picked him up safely. He was a little intimidated, but that was certainly due to the unfamiliar situation. Payment was made in advance. Everything went smoothly and in a friendly manner. If we need a dog sitter again, we turn to Christine.
Initially I was hesitant on the idea of boarding at a non traditional kennel facility, but boy was I wrong. My two fur children got the 5 star hotel resort and spa treatment. Christina is an absolute amazing sitter here in clearlake at Home away from home. Christina was extremely welcoming and showed me around her house and where the dogs would be staying. I was very pleased with how she was welcoming to my dogs who have never stayed in another persons home before. She sent updates throughout the stay, and plenty of pictures that made my work day go by quicker. She was extremely thorough and required all paperwork of current vaccines for both of my dogs which again, showed me that she was very careful and mindful of illness that may arise from not having vaccinated pets. When I came to pick them up, she even included a complimentary doggy dinner that she makes organically at home. I was so pleased with my dogs stay that we have decided to board with her weekly. Christina was an absolute delight and my pets had a great time! 5 stars!
Need someone to watch your animal while you are away? Want someone who will care for your dog just like you would? Want your dog to stay in a clean home with someone who loves animals? Christina is the person you need! Christina took excellent care of my dog while we were on a 3 week vacation. She loved him, walked him, made him homemade dog biscuits, and texted us daily with pics and told us how their day went. Don't take your dog to a kennel, take them to Christina and know that your loved one is safe and happy while you are away.
I am a travel, nurse and work long hours at the hospital. I’m usually gone for 13 hours at a time, and am always needing a place to take my puppy when I work. Christina’s house has truly become my dog”s home away from home! Driving to Christina‘s house on a work day is what my puppy’s, Juniper favorite thing! She jumps into the car and wiggles all the way there. Juniper runs straight from the car to the door and rushes through the door when it’s opened!. If she could turn around and say to me how much she loves it here I think she would. But how happy she looks says it all!!!!
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.
The Carlsons are amazing! I moved to Redding for work and didn’t know a single person. I travel often and needed a dependable, safe place for my Sissy girl! They have exceeded my expectations. I have been a customer for over 2 years. I NEVER have to worry about my Sissy girl when I’m gone. I know she is safe and happy with them! What a blessing they have been ❤️
The best day care pet sitting around! A five star rating from me. Maggie adores Brian and can't wait until she is in his car with all her buddies. She comes home all tired out and ready to just cuddle up for the evening. One happy dog. All of the dogs Brian and Melinda take into their day care are friendly, sociable and fun loving. I feel so fortunate to have met Brian at the dog park a year ago, as I can work full time and know that Maggie is having a great time all day! Plus I get a video or picture every day of the dogs having a blast together.
My Goldie Bella LOVES Brian! She gets so happy when he comes over to pick her up! He definitely is her Best Buddy! When Bella is on a walk with Brian or staying overnight, I know she is in good hands. I have absolutely no worries. I completely trust him with my sweet Bella! I also really appreciate Brian for his willingness to work with adjustments in my schedule and for his texts with pictures of their walks together. I highly recommend A Dog’s Best Buddy!
Brian is truly my dogs best buddy. I rescued Sandy in February, she’s a year and a half old golden doodle, full of energy and excitement. Brian has been caring for my girl twice a week since then, she comes home happy and tired. While I’m at work I know Sandy is having fun, Brian sometimes texts me photos of her day and it always brings a smile to my face. But mostly, I know Sandy is in loving hands. Brian is honest, dependable, flexible and he clearly loves dogs. I don’t know what we would do without him.
Brian and Melinda were great to work with. I was coming to grass valley from Mexico for world fest and needed a dog lover to care for my dog child while I was at the music festival. When I called Brian and told him the situation. He asked all the appropriate questions and emailed me paperwork to fill out and send back to him, and gave me his Face Book Page info. This was all six months prior to the music festival. I checked in with him 2 months and 2 week prior to my boy”s stay and Brian said they were anxiously awaiting his visit. On the day of the arrival Brian introduced my child to his outside of the home to make sure all went well and it did. While I was at the music festival Brain was kind enough to send me pictures of my boy playing and having fun. When I picked my boy up from Melinda ( Brian was working) my boy was very relaxed and happy. I can only tell you if you want someone to love your fur as much as you do, I would highly recommend A Dog”s Best Buddy, because I believe Brian and Melinda really do think of dogs as their buddies.
Brian is fantastic! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Watson with him. I started taking Watson to Brian when he was a puppy, under 1 years old. Brian is patient with puppy behavior, and also provides helpful feedback on how they behaved. Brian is fantastic with communication and extremely responsive which is helpful as sometimes plans change with drop off or pick up. I would highly recommend A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting to anyone!
Brian has been the consummate professional dog walker for me. I find him to be thorough, reliable and flexible as his schedule allows. Brian bailed me out of a difficult situation wherein my vacation dog sitter did not honor our agreement and I was left with no back-up plan and only a couple of days to figure things out. Being that I work so much and also have a tremendous amount of love and affection for my dog, Brian helps bridge that gap in my life.
My 10 month old Lab, Gus, has been going to A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting, several days a week over the past several months. Gus loves to spend time with Brian and always comes home well cared for, exercised and tired. Brian sends me pictures of Gus throughout the day and keeps me posted on Gus's activities. I never have any concerns when leaving Gus at a Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting and feel so thankful that I found a place to look after my little love while I am at work or traveling. I have also left Gus over night on many occasions and have been equally happy with the care he receives during those times.
Brian has been a great help looking after my 3 year old Austrialian Shepherd, Simon, when I am working or traveling. My dog is full of energy and could get anxious when I am not around. Brian did not have trouble winning Simon’s affection. My dog always looks forward to spending time with Brian. I work long hours and Brian tries to be flexible to accommodate my schedule. He actually picks up and drop off Simon where I work. Without Brian, I do not know how i’d keep my dog and be able to work. He also send pictures of my happy Simon, which serve as pick me up when I’m exhausted at work.
My dog "Chewie" loves her walks with Brian! She comes back exhausted and sleeps all afternoon, such a great outlet for her puppy energy - and excellent socialization too. Brian is super-professional and great to interact with, and i love getting the text-message updates and videos during her walks, I can see she's having so much fun.
Brian is awesome! He is great with dogs--my dog loves spending the day with Brian-she gets walks and dog park play. He is super reliable--stays in touch and is very flexible with schedules. Highly recommend!
There are not enough word to express the gratitude and love Rocky and I have for our Auntie Trish. She is an absolute dog whisperer. Rocky was a difficult dog. He was never difficult with his Auntie Trish. I was able to travel leaving him with her knowing he was in the best of hands always. She is so amazing she has a spot in our first and second book. Rocky recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Auntie Trish still remains as part of our adventure. She is amazing.
My dog has been going here for yours. Trish is wonderful and so caring. I know my dog is being cared for when he is with her!
Trish is the best! Velma and I absolutely love her!
Excellent care for my pup.
This lady is a saint!
My dogs ADORE Jessica and all the staff at House of Dogg. They jump out of the car and run to be with her. I know that they are in safe, loving hands whenever they are there, which sets my mind and heart at ease when I have to be away from my furbabies. She offers fun daycare and also overnight boarding (and even the option of homemade dog food when boarding!). It’s a treat… They come home happy and tired out from all the fun activities :) dogs have excellent instincts, and they trust Jessica, as do I!
Where to begin?! This place is doggone awesome, a dog paradise complete with pool, playground, safety & security and much more. The owner and staff however are the real stars of the show! My dog is a two year old Australian Cattle Dog and with a new baby at home he was very cautious of strangers. We had to go out of town and board him for 5 days total and HOD showed him so much patience and kindness that by day 2 he was finally settled down, even playing endless fetch. Jessica (owner) and Molly made sure he felt loved and knew we would be home. And when we finally DID come home, he had only benefited from the experience. He listened better to commands, could be counted on more not to zoom off if unleashed and maintained a healthy appetite. This could not have been achieved by a dog sitter. I cannot say enough about HOD!
House of Dogg, Inc. is a wonderful place to take your dog for the day or to board over night! We boarded our lab here for a week and we felt he was safe and well cared for. We received updates and pictures while we were away. The facility is clean and well designed. There are different areas for small and large dogs to play, sniff and explore. The dogs have access to enrichment activities and equipment! Oh, and I have to mention there is a “chuck-it” space for dogs like mine to run and fetch!! The owner, Jessica and her team have created a wonderful space for dogs! I highly recommend House of Dogg, Inc.! Take your dog there and check it out, they’ll love it!
We are so happy to have found House of Dog. Usually my doggo and I are inseparable and I never leave him w/ anyone. Jessica, on the other hand is such a dog whisperer. She made my doggo feel safe, comfortable and happy. I was confidant to leave him. Look at that face in the photo! My doggo was blissed out and 🥰 loving the pampering and attention at House of Dog.
I'm so impressed with what Jessica has created for our beloved dogs. My young golden retriever, Honey Bun, loves going there. I highly recommend House of Dogg!
This is one amazing place for any dog. Jessica and her team have created a playful, well planned, and above all, safe place for dogs of all sizes. The attention to detail is exhibited from romping/play areas to rest time areas on warmer days. Our seven-month-old girl comes home with a big grin on her face every day she is there. Jessica has a real eye for what’s on the minds of each of her dogs, and she will check in with owners on what she observes. We are so lucky to have House of Doggs in our community.
House of Dogg is a treasure. Our dog Ellie LOVES it there. She can barely contain her excitement when we drop her off. Jessica and her team are fantastic; they provide a loving, safe and fun environment.
House of dogg and the owner and her staff are awesome and I cannot recommend them enough. They are loving, caring, and know how to care of a variety of breeds, including my complicated husky/Gsd mix. They sent photos to ease my worries about leaving my girls, but honestly my dogs got a vacation too! Plenty of walks, rest, and happiness!
I can’t recommend this place enough - our pups have been all over the map with doggie day cares, home/dog sitting, and more - this is the place to be. Our lab got to enjoy a week long stay here, and he had an absolute blast! The owner was in contact throughout his stay keeping us posted on all, she went well above and beyond making sure he was well taken care of, and that we were enjoying our time away. We’re already planning our next visit!
I had to board my Bouvier de Flandres, on a emergency. While I was on my travels was able to arrange to have my dog overnight for 9 plus days at "House of Dogg" .. Well not only did the kind people at House of Dogg help me, they gave my dog the loving, care and kindness he so well disserves. This is now my go to place. I highly recommend them!
I have a lot of anxiety about leaving all my critters when I go out of town but I don't when I have Good Dogs to rely on. They are so thorough and so many times have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I can get updates from them to hear how it's going, which is very reassuring. They are responsible and trustworthy and I would highly recommend them to take care of any type of animal!
Good Dogs has been a life saver for drop in pet sitting. I have 2 dogs, and they are our babies, so I would not trust them to anyone. Scheduling services is easy, the team are great, communication is excellent, and I have always felt my pups were in good hands.
Was more than happy with Good Dogs! Dog Inky really liked being taken for walks by Brigid. Arrived on time every day - even brought the mail in!
My pups love Bridget and get so excited when her car pulls in the driveway. Highly recommend her.
I keep Brigid and Good Dogs Pet Sitting on speed-dial. Wouldn't let anyone else care for my greyhound.
Very happy with Brigid and team. Took care of our dog, Indi, and let us vacation with peace of mind.
Greatest pet sitters ever!
Thank you Orion! We enjoy caring for Hannah.
They take great care of my cats while I’m traveling. I’ve had many different pet sitters through them and all of them have been great. I recommend them wholeheartedly!
My business uses them all the time, they are always on time and super nice! I would definitely recommend.
Great with my fur baby. Very dependable.
Awesome 🤘 …
Thank you!
