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.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
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!
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house. Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient. Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.

They have a very friendly staff, and took care of my pet very well. She came back to me happy and looked healthy from what I could tell. I appreciate that they take the dogs out numerous times throughout the day and even let the dogs play together if they get along. After the stay they give a report card giving details about how your pet did.
We love Funny Faces and so does our pup. When we pull in she gets excited to go in. When they come out to get her to bring her back she doesn’t hesitate to go back she doesn’t look back at me or tries to come back to me which shows seems to have fun while she is there!
Amazing place to board your animals. They have great service and pay attention to all of the animals in their care.
Water pipe burst, leaking fresh water into my house so unlivable. My 2 cats needed shelter fast. I called Funny Faces staff and told them about our dilemma. My babies were there for a week pending repiping of lines. The ladies at the front desk were kind, helpful and caring. The cat room is clean well kept and comfy. I would trust them with my babies anytime.
My Bertie loves to visit Funny Faces. He always makes friends. I love the report card when we pick him up. I know he's in great hands and that's peace of mind.
We were in the middle of a rough move and needed to board our pups for a few days. This is usually a very frustrating situation because it seems like every boarding facility these days is "cage free" and my dogs do not play well with others. However, Funny Faces was so easy to work with. They have staff right at the front door, ready to take your dog when you walk in, so you're not fighting a leash and filling out paperwork. Brilliant! They kept my dogs together, and away from other pups. No incidents, happy and tired dogs when I picked them up. And they helped me to the car. Best boarding facility ever.
Funny Faces is the BEST boarding facility I’ve EVER encountered! I’ve been bringing my two doggies here for quite some time and they absolutely love it! The facility is spotless and well maintained! They even send my pups’ home with a report card to let me know how they did while I was away. The employees always show kindness and are always offering to help me unload my dogs and their belongings. I don’t see anywhere else taking care of my animals as well as they do! :)
My dog Waffles absolutely loves going here. They have the best customer service for pets and owners I have ever encountered. They make my dog feel very special with their warm welcome. They set up play dates for my dog. Also the grooming is excellent and very affordable. Love it!
This is by far the nicest boarding facility I have ever encountered!! The staff are friendly, helpful and have a genuine care and concern for each pet! The facility was clean inside and out.... not one bit of pet odor! They can accommodate special diets, etc. and even find play pals for your pet during their stay. There is a vet on call 24/7. Our pet actually WANTED to go inside on our second visit instead of pulling away! Kudos to this wonderful place where our dog can enjoy his vacation while we enjoy ours with complete peace of mind that our pup is in excellent hands!!
My dog Daisy has been my constant companion and best friend for 11 years. I was visiting my deployed husband in Bahrain (a 24 hour hour trip away and a significant time difference) when I received a text from Funny Faces that Daisy had sudden onset paralysis. They had tried calling and leaving a voicemail but despite having an international plan the calls had not come through. Not giving up, the owner used his cell phone to text me. That, I did receive. I so appreciate his tenacity it communicating. He had the vet next door come examine Daisy and also transported her to Lacey Animal Hospital (her vet) to have her own doctor see her. No small feat, Daisy is a 120 pound dog and with the paralysis her back half was dead weight. In addition to the medical care, they kept her clean, comfortable, and comforted for the two days it took me to get back. They also sent detailed updates. The help did not end there. It was clear she would have to be put to sleep but I wanted to bring her home for a night and have some time to say goodbye. My husband is not able to be home, and I was stressed the whole trip home about lining up local friends who were strong enough to help transport her from boarding to home. And then from home to her vet. It turns out that was a needless worry. Tim, the owner, and a very nice member of his staff, loaded her into my car then followed us home. They helped get Daisy inside and comfortable. Then RETURNED the next morning, before their opening hours, not only to help get Daisy from my house into the car but met me at the vet to help bring her into the procedure room. The vet has staff and we could have *managed* but Tim was experienced with moving her, she was comfortable with him, and he did not want any part of her final time to be stressful. I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to Tim and to all the staff at Funny Faces. Loosing our Daze so suddenly was incredibly difficult. It could have been much, much worse without their genuine care and support. Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
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.
Our pup stayed here with MJ for the first time and we were so happy we found her business. The dogs don't get put in some small kennel. They get the run of her big backyard and are treated like they are at their own home. She has her own two good pups for our dog to play with. I will be boarding our pup with her whenever we go out of town.
This is the best place to send your dog. MJ is great with all dogs. My dog gets so excited when I tell her she is headed to MJs
I see this incredible lady work with her Mercedes and it just blows my mind. I have a challange for her.
MJ does a great job of caring for your pet like it was her own!
MJ is great and loving with our fur babies!
Great experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. We have a golden retriever and we left him with Briana and Maelie for a week and we didn’t have a worries at all because we knew he was in great care. My dog Cosmo loved it so much that he didn’t want to go home when I went to pick him up. I will definitely be taking him back when we have to go out of town.
I am a true new customer. I cant say enough about this daycare. I absolutely love it. Bee treats your dog as one of her own and creates an environment where your dog feels comfortable. As a doggy mom with anxiety it was hard for me and Bee made me feel at ease with her great care, photo updates, and videos of my baby playing with others. Her prices are reasonable for what her business actually gives you. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend BeeCastle Doggo Daycare! Maelie took great care of all four of our fur babies while we were on a three week vacation. Her daily drop ins and overnight stays helped ease our minds knowing they were all being cared for.
Had a great experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. She took us last min when our dog sitter cancelled on us last min and didn’t have anyone else. Always keeping me updated of my dog and sending pictures.I would definitely recommend and book with them again later in the future.
Taking my puppy to doggo daycare was the best thing for my pet. The care and training my pet receives is amazing. I would recommend to family and friends. My puppy Bruno really enjoys his stays. Thank you so much doggo daycare for taking care of my pet.
I am so happy I found BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. I booked with them while visiting family. Booking was quick and easy. They are friendly and professional. Their communication was great. I received updates throughout the night. My furbabies had a great time. They were well taken care of. I got so lucky I found them. I highly recommend booking with them, you will not regret it!!!
Wonderful experience with BeeCastle Doggo Daycare. Any doubt I had being away from my Lula went away when we booked the stay. Fast easy and respectable. Greeting us at the door and starting the introduction process was the best. My little golden was treated like the princess she is. The pictures and the updates provided were everything for me. I’m happy to find this local business, I recommend them for long stays or even for daily sits.
Love Bees’s doggy daycare! There scheduling of drop in visits is very flexible and take great care of my boxer!
BeeCastle Doggo Daycare is wonderful! My dogs, who don’t like to go anywhere, absolutely love when they get to go to daycare. They have fun, they are safe, and they are loved. I would highly recommend!
Briana and her daughter are amazing and took great care of our puppy! She was accommodating to our last minute request and very flexible in finding options to help care for our dogs. We also loved the environment and atmosphere of her home!!!
Great spot! I’m someone who gets separation anxiety from my dog (lol) and it was hard at first for me to commit to bringing him to a facility to be boarded. Cusco is also sensitive so I was worried about that, too. He is not a skittish dog, he just notices everything and needs time to take it all in before he’s okay with joining the party. I explained this to the staff and let them know to play “hard to get” with him and basically ignore that he’s there until he approaches and touches them on his own, and they are all thankfully very dog savvy and knew exactly what I meant. Reading the report cards of Cusco’s stay, it seems that the people he interacts with daily understand his needs and read him well, they pickup on details about him that are true which I’ve never disclosed myself. The best part for me is that when I pick him up, he doesn’t seem like he spent the last few days living super stressed out. I’m sensitive, he’s sensitive, so to have a place I can leave him and feel like he’s at least neutral if not content to be there is a huge relief. There are also multiple safety barriers and doors that would need to be breached in order for him to actually be in danger of escaping. No dogsitter on Rover has that. He is intact (because he’s a preservation breed and his breed club and breeder would like to preserve his genetics, not because I’m an irresponsible owner who thinks all dogs should have litters lol) which means he doesn’t get group play with other dogs and relies solely on humans to interact with him while he is there. I feel that even if he wasn’t intact I would prefer it this way, and the fact that they offer that as an option is really nice. He’s not unfriendly to other dogs, he just needs to get to know them first in low energy settings to actually enjoy himself rather than be stressed out by the interaction. The only thing I wish was different was that I could have a chance to tour the facility back there and get to know and see where he is staying and exactly how he is living. It likely is an option, but it wasn’t included in our introduction to the facility, provably because new strange people on the back could further stress already stressed dogs, and/or my dog would then know he could look for me back there and that could cause some anxiety. Maybe a video walkthrough would be good! I recommend Elaine’s and am grateful for them. I hope this stays true throughout the time I’ll be living in Fresno!
I've been taking my dogs for close roughly 2.5yrs and they love it. We started at Madera and now go to Fresno and both locations are great. I love coming in and the front desk knows both of my dog's name and greets them. I love the holiday pictures.
I am new to the Fresno area and needed a safe place for my elderly boxer while I am out of the country. My boxer is very low maintenance when it comes to activity - she's 14 1/2 years old. All she needs is a place to sleep, food, and a few potty breaks. I paid the $30 for the mandatory "Meet and Greet", only to be called after a few hours to be told that she "could not be accommodated" there. The reason given was her "mobility". I am not sure what mobility issues they observed...yes, she is a little slower in her old age, but we take walks daily and she doesn't have issues with her gait. She has a great deal of experience in kennels and has never had an issue. Anyway - I found a much better facility that is more than happy to take loving care of my old girl while I am gone. I feel like this meet and greet thing is just a money grab. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews before I wasted my time and money.
This place is next level. The staff and facility layout is amazing. The staff provides a very welcoming environment. We boarded our dog snowflakes
I absolutely love Elaine’s Pet Resort! The fact that they share Instagram stories of the playgroups is a game-changer. It truly feels like we’re right there with our dogs, and it brings so much joy to see them having a great time. The team is genuinely caring and goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and safe. It’s reassuring to know our furry friends are in such capable hands. The transparency and care they provide make this resort top-notch. Five stars!
I had many bad experiences in the past in different places in the area, to the point that we almost lost my rescue black lab due to a negligence from a facilities staff. I did my research again until I found the perfect place for my dogs. Since, the first time, I left my dogs, I feel confident to travel knowing that my pets will be safe and well taking care of. I had the opportunity to toured the facilities before our first meet and greet appointment. I was impressed of the cleanness and well-organized facilities,including ambiental music and air conditioning. The playground and water park are build specifically for dogs. My dogs are happy when I picked them up and they never show any behavior of mistreatment as they did before. The staff is amazing and very professional. They have a holiday events offering photos for our our lovely pets. Also they provide a report cards for every visit, so I can read about their behavior during their stay. They accommodate my rescue black dog because he doesn't get along with other dogs. He does have one-one time and playing time. My little puppy get alone with other dogs and he does have play time with other puppies. Also I am over protective with my dogs and I was able to call every day to check on them when I travel for a week. I am very confident recommending this place to other pet owners. It is pricy compare to other places around but I can't complain about the care of my dear pets. " Happy pets, Happy fur parents" ~ MP
My pet went there for the first time was there for four days everyone that works there was very nice. When I picked up my dog she seemed to be very happy I had not brought her around other dogs, so she hadn’t been socialized with people or other dogs and adjusted very well. I will bring her back I felt very good having her there , I love the fact they send out report cards keeping you up to date on how’s she doing I loved that Pat as well as a picture of her.
If you love your dog, don’t leave them at Elaine’s. I left my dog at Elaine’s for a week over thanksgiving. It is supposedly Fresno’s premier destination for dogs, so I thought it would be safe to leave him. But the staff at Elaine’s lied to me on multiple occasions. First, they told me my dog would get to play with the other dogs. Which I paid for him to do extra because he loves other dogs so much. That was a lie, he was in solitary confinement for two days until a staff member let it slip and I complained. He was temperament tested the next day and found to have no problems with other dogs and then allowed to play. If I hadn’t been calling to check on him, I never would have known because they were fine with me being misinformed. When I complained to Debbie, she admitted that wasn’t their policy and he should have been temperament tested his first day instead of being confined. Secondly, they lied to me about how much food my dog was eating. They told me he was eating 100% of his food, but then again, when I called to check on him, a staff member let slip that “somehow” I’d been misinformed and he was only eating about 40% of his food. I was then told it wasn’t a big deal, and not to be concerned, but if that’s the case, why did they bother lying about it. When I complained about this to Debbie, she again admitted that this was against their policy. All in all, I paid $500 to be lied to, my dog be mistreated, and at the end all I got from Elaine’s was a dismissive attitude and a “sorry you’re mad” even though they admitted their actions were against their own policies. Think twice before leaving your pet here. They have no problem lying to you about how they are treating your pet, and do not care at all about any valid concerns. If you love your pet, don’t bring them to Elaine’s.
Great service when boarding pets during trips. Appreciate the dedication to making sure our pets are taken care of and the report cards sent to us during our trips to see how they are doing are appreciated
We board our big dog, Lucy here every time we go out of town. They have an additional service for her to get a bath a couple hours before pickup time. She is happy when we get there to drop her off, and they do a great job with her bath. They even email us a report card with a photo to let us know how she did. We highly recommend Elaine’s Pet Resort!
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.
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.
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 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.
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!!!!!
The best dog sitting service ever. Heather, Becca and Teresa have always taken excellent care of our dogs. I like the updates they send us with each visit. We even get pictures. Their visits are usually pretty long and they make sure the animals are back in our care on the day service ends. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my Bentley. We go abroad a lot and the dogs are always clean and happy when we arrive. Thank you so much for your tender loving care. We love you guys.
Tender Loving Animal Care has always been so accommodating with our pets. The pet sitters are always respectful and great with our pups. One of our pups is very hesitant with strangers and can be very protective of the house, yet the sitters are always patient with him and handle him exactly as requested. We have had many last minute dog sitting needs and they have always accommodated us. Thank you for making vacations and trips away from home so much less stressful!
I love these people!! Becca takes such good care of my babies. I tried a different pet sitting service and they were awful. So grateful for Tender Loving Animal Care.
TLAC is easy to work with and great at taking care of my fur babies. Their prices are very reasonable and I feel secure knowing our dogs are taken care whenever we are out of town. I highly recommend TLAC as a pet sitter.
The awesome team at Tender Loving Animal Care were simply awesome from start to finish doting our recent two-week vacation. Each of the four care providers for our kitty arrived on schedule and took outstanding care of our cat as evidenced by the photos they provided and the post visit texts they each sent. My wife and I experienced zero issues communicating with TKAC’s staff from half-way around the world. We made a couple of minor requests that were immediately honored and carried out. The billing process was accurate and fair. My Wife and I felt no worries at all with Tender Loving Animal Care visiting our home while caring for our cat. We intend on more travel and TLAC is the right answer for our pets are whenever we go out of town. Thanks Belinda, you have an excellent crew! 🎎
They've taken care of my dogs several times now while I've been away on trips and I'm very happy with their services. Thankful to have this option available when we're not able to take the dogs with us, no need to drop them off or pick them up anywhere, the dogs get to stay home where they're comfortable, and they are well taken care of while we're away. Great job every time!
I would recommend TLAC to anyone! Knowing they are there to take care of my cats relieves so much stress while I travel for work. They are so quick to respond and understanding that schedules can be unpredictable.
My husband and I are both active duty military. Trying to find a pet sitter has always been difficult. The service and flexibility of TLACs staff is impeccable. We have two huskies and a cat and they are always very well taken of when we go out of town. Highly recommend!
Tender Loving Animal Care has taken amazing care of our three pups. They are always so dependable and so loving on our pet family members. I can’t recommend them enough!! They’re the best!!
I love TLAC! We used them a ton when we first got our puppy and needed help with taking him out during the day when my husband and I were at work. Everybody was always so great with our dog and great with sending updates and pictures from their walks/visits. I always felt like our dog was in great hands with them!
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!
