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.

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
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.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
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:)
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Affinity Pet Services have been very reliable & caring with our pets when we go on vacation. I love the updates and photos they are thoughtful enough to send so we feel less guilty about leaving home. We come home to a house of content dogs, cats & chickens that are calm and obviously not anxious about the changes. They are well taken care of & happy to get to stay in our home instead of kennels. I recommend Affinity often to friends, and am grateful to have them in our lives the last 5 years!
Our pup loves playgroup! She waits excitedly at the window on playgroup days for pickup, dances when she hears Charlotte pull up, and comes home tired and happy. We also have hired Affinity for pack walks, and to check on our pup in the middle of the day when we have had to work longer hours. Affinity has proven to be trustworthy, caring and very knowledgeable about dog care. We highly recommend!
Can’t give them 10 stars but they are top notch! Charlotte and her company are the best. Dogs always picked up promptly, exercised their little hearts out, returned clean and tired. I often am not home when she drops off, she is respectful, always house is locked back up. My dogs love seeing her cause Affinity equals fun!
Besides being incredibly professional. This is the highest recommendation for Affinity(and Charlotte) I can give. When we come home are cats don’t hide or ignore us(because they are mad)…they are happy to see us, relaxed and carry on as if we had never left. That is because of the great care & love they received from The Affinity team while we were away.
We've got 3 dogs and have been using Affinity for weekly visits and overnight stays when we are out of town for the last year and a half. They are reliable, trustworthy, and provide an abundance of love for our critters. They send us pictures while we're away so we know all is well. We couldn't be happier with the service they provide and highly recommend them.
Fabulous, pet lovers & care givers. They provide supportive care when I have a long stretch away from home. I highly recommend them.
If you neef care for your animals, maybe just a stop in to visit while away for an extended time. Awesome, super efficient booking system. Really nice, caring & diligent carers. Will use them again. Thank you.
I love our Affinity Auntie Gail. Incredibly attentive, and loves my two dogs.
Good people providing great services. I highly recommend!
Great service!
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!
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.
We’ve gone to Taylor Mountain for 2 years now and can’t express enough how this place is the absolute best. It’s our dog’s favorite place to go. He’s a dogs dog and hasn’t always trusted people. These folks work so well with him despite that being challenging sometimes. They limit the number of dogs they have so each dog gets real attention - your dog isn’t 1 in 100 like most other places. They also let dogs be dogs - they’re allowed to chill or play all day as they like and that was a must for us. I can’t recommend Melissa, Tracy, and the crew at Taylor Mountain enough for dog boarding. Trust me, this is where you want to go if your dog is your kid like ours is to us.
Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat is absolutely the best! From day one they have been incredibly professional and I never worry about Riley being in their care. They go above and beyond to make sure your pup is comfortable, happy, and loved. The camp notes for longer stays with the dog treat is such an amazing touch. I have never felt better about living my fur child with a boarding facility; highly recommend!
Our dog LOVES Taylor Mountain and they are so kind to her. It’s clear she is cared for while we’re out of town and they pay attention to all the details for each dog — which dogs they get along with, any behavioral challenges, etc. It’s easy to leave for weeks at a time when you know your dog is stoked to be going to Taylor Mountain. Love this place and I know our pup loves it even more than we do.
Five stars is just not enough! Your search is over- you’ve found the best boarding facility in Sonoma County. My boyfriend and I have been clients at TMCR since 2020. At the time we had just gotten a new puppy, Cooper, who was a little fluff ball of energy. With us both working full time, it was very important that we found a facility that could help support us in providing the best life for our boy. From daycare to overnights, we wanted to find a place for him that felt like a second home. When we first toured the property and facility, we were treated with the utmost respect and care. Melissa asked us numerous questions about our boy Cooper to ensure she truly got to know him and his needs. From day one, Cooper was in love. He was a regular Daycare guest 2-3 days a week and probably would live with Melissa and Tracy if they’d let him! Cooper ended up being a little bit of a sensitive boy when it came to his diet, his soft paws, and hot summer days. The team at TMCR made sure to go above and beyond when it came to accommodating these needs. They ensured he ate his special lunch we packed him for his diet, made sure to swap him from different play yards when his paws needed a break, and spoiled our boy with unlimited pool days, cold floor naps with huge fans ( this is a big plus for Cooper), and all the snuggles in between. We later bred Cooper, and kept his first born son, Murphy. Cooper and Murphy are now both TMCR clients. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the support, love, and care TMCR gives to us and our boys. Cooper and Murphy are our babies, and knowing that they are not only in wonderful hands, but having the time of their life while at TMCR, brings us peace and comfort that is truly priceless. I look forward to the life long relationship our boys have with TMCR and all of the staff members. While we are unbelievably sad to see the daycare side of the facility close, we find comfort knowing we still have TMCR for all our boarding needs. THANK YOU!!
Melissa & Tracy and the rest of the TMC staff are amazing!! I wouldn't bring my dog Maggie anywhere else! They are attentive, compassionate and treat all of the dogs there like their own! We utilize both their boarding and daycare services and Maggie always comes home happy and well cared for! Maggie is somewhat of a higher maintenance dog and the staff is always very attentive to her needs providing her medication when she is due and ensuring that her meals are prepared as she needs! Melissa has gone out of her way to prepare her special meals when Maggie has had an upset tummy or communicate with me any issues that may come up during her stay! Their facilities are clean, well kept, and the grounds are fantastic! It truly is a retreat for your furry friend! I will be a life long client of Taylor Mountain Canine.
This is HEAVEN for dogs!!! We had never boarded an animal before, and we dutifully checked out four or five other boarding places before being recommended to Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat. We are so glad we found them! They are in a whole other (higher, better) class from any of the other folks we interviewed, for the same or better prices. We traveled for fun, but I think our dog had a better vacation than we did! Tracy and Melissa LAVISHED our pup with heaping amounts of care, attention and affection. And, practically, when we arrived to pick up our darling dog, Melissa asked briefly for our presence, and she proceeded to clip the dog's toenails while we held our dog's leash and petted her. Two different vets had previously recommended sedation as the only way to accomplish a nail trim... The relationship these folks built with our dog in a short amount of time had our dog trusting and loving them enough to allow even the scariest task to become quick and effortless. No muss, no fuss, no worry, our dog came home shiny, happy and healthy. We LOVE Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat, they are absolutely our "go to" boarding place, pretty much forever. Additionally, we'll definitely be taking our dog to hang out and have fun even when we are around- she clearly adores Tracy and Melissa and being at TMCR. Thank you for taking such great care of our precious doggy!
Incredible place! The staff and ownership are extremely kind and knowledgeable. They are detailed in every dog's care and are very responsive via phone and email. My dog has boarded over single nights as well as for two weeks straight. She is always so excited to go into the building when we arrive. She comes back healthy and happy each time. I highly recommend TMCR!
Taylor Mountain Canine is the best spot to take your furry friend! Louise has a blast whenever she gets to go. Melissa, Tracy, and the rest of the staff go the extra mile. They get to run around and play all day, get their nails clipped, get bathed, and they get a report card at the end of their stay which I love so you can see how your dog did. I love knowing Louise is in such good hands!
Our dog Annie loves it here. Great people, lots of things to do at doggie camp. There are lots of dog pals for here for play and conversation or just relaxing. We have used many other dog care facilities in Sonoma County over the years, and Taylor Mountain Dog Retreat so far has been the best. One more time, the owners and staff are great, the play areas and relaxation areas are clean wonderful and with very clean & heated indoor/outdoor sleeping facilities. No better place for our Princess to play, socialize and relax, then Taylor Mountain. Blake B
Our dog Gatsby has had a couple of amazing stays here so far, and we recommend this retreat 1000 times over!! Melissa and Tracy and their entire staff run a very professional yet loving operation here. Our dog was a bit nervous for her first 4 night stay, but when we brought her back for a 12 night stay she was going absolutely bonkers and was so excited to see the staff again, and that's when we truly new that Gatsby is in great hands. The staff is very responsive and we loved getting pictures texted to us as well as seeing Gatsby on the Instagram stories. We hardly worried about Gatsby at all during our trip even though this was the longest we had left her. The price is very reasonable and competitive with the area, and a bath and nail trim at the end was very much appreciated! The very flexible pick up and drop off hours are awesome. No ridiculous upcharges to have your dog play unlike some other places in the area. Again, cannot recommend this business enough for your dog boarding needs!
I recently had my dog Bailey at Starr Pet Resort while I was on an extended 17 days vacation. She had never been in a kennel before and suffers from anxiety. Jim and Sandy are amazing! They took such good care of Bailey. They don’t just cover the basics when caring for your pet, they go to great lengths to understand your pet so your pet will have the best possible experience. Thank you so much Jim for making Bailey feel a part of your family! Rodney
Board at Your Own Risk. No Liabilities, No Insurance and the Owner May Have You Arrested. On June 17, 2017, the next to last day of boarding my Belgian Malinois puppy, Starr Pet Resort left a message on a phone number that I specifically had told them not to use informing me that my dog’s leg had been injured. I was able to retrieve the message and come back a day early to pick my dog up at the hospital where she had been left. I was told that depending on treatment, the bill would be between $2,000 and $4,000. Jim Brock, owner of Starr Pet Resort, initially refused to pay any portion of the bill saying it was just an accident, although he had only given vague, conflicting explanations as to what happened. He also threatened both my girlfriend and I that this was a criminal matter and he was reporting it to the sheriff to have me arrested if I did not pay for his week of boarding immediately by providing him with my credit card information. He also refused to release my dog’s collar, tags and leash left at Starr Pet Resort. Jim had presented me with a contract for signature when I dropped of my dog on June 9, 2017. He stated that it was an “authorization to get medical care if needed”. In reality it was a liability waiver which states that Starr Pet Resort is not liable for anything that happens to your pet, and if they are found liable, it is only for a maximum of $500, or the value of the pet, whichever is LESS. None of these waivers are mentioned on the company’s website, nor was I advised of them prior to drop off even though I had visited the kennel in person and made a reservation over a month before boarding. I made at least five written requests for information regarding the injury. These requests included video records as they advertise they have 24 hour surveillance, a written statement from the person with my dog when the injury occurred and the name of their insurance provider. These requests were all ignored. I did receive an offer for a maximum of $2,000 from Starr Pet Resort on June 20, 2017. The offer may, or may not have covered my dog’s medical bills, but I did not know as it was very early in her treatment. The offer included a condition that I never say anything that they considered false or defamatory or pay damages in the amount of $5,000 for each violation. They broke my dog’s leg and then threatened to have me arrested. I could not agree to these terms. Despite several written requests, I never heard from Starr Pet Resorts after June 20, 2017, until I saw them in Small Claims’ Court on September 11, 2017. The only additional evidence they brought was a note from the girl who was playing with my dog when the supposed accident occurred. It was dated almost three months after the incident even though I had requested this back in June. It also turns out that their insurance does not cover pets. They are a kennel. What does their insurance cover?
These folks kept my best friend safe, active and happy during a two week business trip. The kennel facility is exceptionally clean. A pleasant surprise was the fact that it is climate controlled. Most importantly though; Jim and Sandy are dog people. They very clearly care about their guests and take care of their guests. Strongly recommended Update six months later: Sudden business trip abroad for four weeks: Same great facility. Same great service. Same great people.
We have been staying with Starr Pet for 2+ years and we love them so much! My Frenchie Ernestine loves it from the moment she arrives to see Uncle Jim and Sandi to her private nature walks (an optional add on she loves). The team is very attentive to Ernie, great at communicating updates and sharing pics. They are very professional, organized and treat Ernestine like family. I highly recommend Starr Pet and their amazing family/team. Thanks for taking such great care of Ernestine.
We left our 2 fur babies here when we went out of state for a graduation. They were there roughly 6 days and they had a blast! I got photos texted to me daily and some cool videos. It was comforting knowing our babies were so well taken care of. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to board your four legged kids. Thank you Starr Pet Resort!
Our cat loves staying at Starr Pet Resort when we are away from home. Jim and Sandy take very good care of her when she stays with them. Her room at the pet resort is always clean and comfortable. The whole cat area of the resort is immaculate and the pet owners are welcome to come in and see where their pet is staying as well as see the entire cat area. Both Jim and Sandy are well aware of each animal's condition throughout their stay and monitor each pet often. They treat each pet as an individual and get to know their personalities. We recommend Starr Pet Resort for pet owners whenever their pet needs to stay away from home. We feel confident that any issues that arise during our absence will be addressed and our pet will be safe and well taken care of.
I have a rescue dog who is anxious around new people and other animals. He was nervous at drop off, but in such high spirits after leaving Starr pet resort. They made him comfortable and he had a good time. Very reasonable price, and I really appreciated the one on one attention he received. Thank you Sandi & Jim
Our two English Bulldogs Love coming to Starr Pet Resort its always a treat for them. We started bringing both of our bulldogs when they were small puppies and they visit now on a monthly basis. El Guapo our largest Bulldog 3 years cannot wait to get out of the car to stay at the resort and now our newest addition bulldog puppy 6 months also loves coming to the resort. The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. Jim, Sandy and the staff are great and we wouldn't take our two Bulldog family members anywhere else, Thanks Starr Pet Resort!
We regularly take our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to the Starr Pet Resort. They love going there and are always happy to see the resort owners on arrival. The owners, Jim and Sandi, know the dogs by name, greet them warmly and take very good care of them. We recommend Starr Pet Resort very highly. Cheryl and John
Starr was wonderful with our dog Penny. We dropped her off with them for the first time we'd left overnight, and it was completely seamless. They sent over few photos during her stay to make sure we knew she was having a great time. We had a great experience; we'll be bringing Penny back to Starr in a couple weeks
Every week our dog sits at our gate eagerly awaiting her ride to her pack pals. It’s probably the highlight of her week. We couldn’t be more pleased with this awesome resource.
Jessica and team are amazing and you will not regret trusting her with your doggie. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to educate you and answer all the questions you have ( I had so many questions too!). I felt extremely comfortable sending my puppy with Jessica and was so grateful to have such a safe and wonderful option for my pet to learn how to socialize while getting his walk in! Jessica is not only great at her craft, she will take the time to make you feel like you are her one and only client. She sent so many updates and photos of my dog while he was with her. I didn’t wonder for a minute if my dog was ok because she made it so comfortable for all of us! Your pup is a lucky one if they ever get to be a part of this pack ❤️. Thank you So much for the level of service, professionalism, integrity and smiles you provide to our community.
I’ve been using Bonehemian Wags for the last couple years and I think they are simply amazing. My dog Biscuit is always so happy for his adventures with Jessica and the pack. I get a picture every time he goes out and they always messsage me when he is on his way home from his adventures! Jessica, the owner of Bonehemian Wags is professional and makes time for me when I have any questions. I don’t know what we would do without her and her team.
Simply the best dog walker around. Jessica is so attentive to each animal, and a true natural when it comes to working with the dogs. I am so protective of my fur baby, and Bonehemian Wags is the only company I trust to really pay attention to the needs of my pup.
Jessica and her amazing team have walked, trained, boarded, and loved my dogs for the last 7 years. I recommend her 125%
THANK YOU Bonehemian Wags! I rely heavily on Bonehemian Wags on a weekly basis to take care of Pup. I work late and can't get home to let my dog out to potty during the day. Bonehemian Wags is always there to take Pup out and go for a walk when I'm tied up at work.
I could write novels about how much my partner and I love this place — matched only by how much our PUP loves this place. Juniper practically sprints out of the car when we pull into the driveway, straight up to the door. Inside, she’s greeted by familiar, friendly faces who clearly love what they do. The managers, Carla and Megan, are true professionals, and every one of their employees seems happy to be there. The facilities are well kept, and the dogs are vetted, supervised, and tended to appropriately. The staff are extremely attentive, and keep us informed if there is any unusual behavior. We have had bad experiences before at another, larger place nearby. Felt like we had to drag our scared, shaking dog inside every time. It wasn’t long before we called it quits and found Almost Home. Thank god we did, because it really is just that! We feel so thankful to have a place we trust with our favorite, furry family member.
This is by far the BEST option for doggie daycare. I’ve been taking my lab there for nearly 2 years now and we’ve grown to love all of the staff there. What stands out the most is the professionalism amongst the staff, the CLEANLINESS as well. From the entrance to the lobby to the area where the dogs play-it’s freaking CLEAN!! Carla, the owner has made some incredible improvements to the daycare as well. She & her staff ensure a safe environment for dogs of all sizes and have a great system for vetting dogs that are a good fit and those that would not. My dog is excited when we pull up and always comes home pooped! Almost Home is amazing! Your dog will love it!!
Absolute gem of a facility. I’d heard great things and then brought my boy in and knew we were in a safe place. My dog is my life and to leave him was nerve wracking (for me, not him lol ) but the staff, especially Megan, made the experience quick and felt right. I came to collect him after his assessment and he was so happy and exhausted from the new friends he played with. Definitely found our home away from home.
I've been waiting a while to write this review, because I wanted to be sure about it. We started our puppy here before he was neutered. They really liked him, and he loved to be there. They were very clear they would watch his behavior - they kicked him out at a point where he was getting too "humpy" and aggressive with other dogs - we understood and appreciated that. We got him neutered, and several weeks later, we brought him back. He absolutely loves it there, and the staff are super friendly, very knowledgeable, and clearly take good care of the dogs there. We are happy with our choice. We looked at some others, but although this one was a tiny bit more expensive, it felt better- less chaotic, cleaner, more oriented to the dogs care. I highly recommend them!
Our dog never wants to leave! I am so happy I found this place. There are a lot of doggie day care places in Sonoma county, but this one just feels different. My little pup has the best time here. All of the staff are so friendly and kind. No one ever seems stressed or worried. The people and dogs coming in and out are the same, super friendly, kind and neither dog nor human is stressed or amped up. That says so much! The dogs get a lot more human interaction here, and they seem to make sure that dogs are paired with the right group, not just for their size, but for their temperament. When I come to pick up my little girl she just wants to go back in for more fun. She always comes out tired and happy. We love you Almost Home! Thank you for what you do every day!
We are giving this rating on behalf of our dogs. We went on vacation over the holidays with our 2 dogs, had contacted the daycare prior to coming up - to try and make sure everything went smoothly, and of course on our end it didn't. But they were incredibly patient and understanding with us. There is a 2 hour trial period to determine if your dog is a good fit and gets along well with everyone, beyond that, you pay. They are affordable and all of the staff is beyond nice. Our little guys had no problems leaving or coming back, which says a lot as one of our dogs HATES being alone and the other refuses to enter buildings associated with unpleasant experiences.
My dog has been going to Almost Home since she was a puppy [5 years] At 1st she has some behavioral issues, but the AH staff worked w/ her & she got past them. Dogs are well-supervised by people who really like dogs. They are sorted by size and, to some extent, temperament, into 3 separate play areas. When I leave my dog there, I feel confident that she will be safe and have a fun, energetic play day.
A small business, I am impressed with their priorities, caring for our dogs! I saw conscious attention to my dog's evaluation time, learning about him, what he was comfortable with and not. I am looking forward to using their services. Keep up the great work.
first day at doggie daycare and i notice i had two missed calls from them two hours after dropping off my dog. i immediately call back when realizing i missed the call due to bad reception in my area. staff member tells me i must immediately come back to pick up my dog because she has “kennel cough?!” WTH? my dog is young and she has never been around any other dogs, ever! until this day!! (and her evaluation). apparently they called my son (when they couldn’t get ahold of me) asking him to drive up to pick her up and that it was an emergency ( he lives 3 hours away) i don’t have anyone else in my life who could pick her up! i stopped what i was doing to go pick her up and a staff member tells me one of the other dogs as kennel cough.. 😐 during my observation: my dog DID NOT have kennel cough! she’s been with me for 9 hours now and not ONE SINGLE peep from her?!! WHY would your staff member tell me she had kennel cough?! freak me out and make me drive frantically across town just to find out she is completely fine?! i’m really disappointed in the unprofessional staff. i don’t even understand why i would have to even pay for the 2 hours, just to be lied to? oh well. live and learn i guess. no more doggie daycare for this pup if this is how the business is ran ✌🏼
We trust Carla and the Almost home staff more than anyone with our girl Rio. We appreciate the love, safety and respect they have for our pup and would recommend them to anyone in the area!
Teddy 98 pound 2 year old Labrador had never been boarded. We took Teddy to Paradise Pet Resort and Teddy was excited to meet all the employees. We took the tour and Teddy wanted to play right away. Teddy had a free evaluation day before we boarded him overnight. Teddy had so much fun - he had played so hard he was exhausted. Teddy spent 3 nights at Paradise Pet Resort. Teddy enjoyed every minute he was there. It feels good to know Teddy is on vacation too.
My girl loves Daycare here!! She has the best time with all the dogs and always comes home tired and happy. I have a hard time getting her out the door because she doesn't want to leave! I love watching her play on the cams. Staff is kind and the rates are the best in town.
I love this place. We have two boxers. One is two years old the other 9. We use lodging for both and play time for younger one. Our older one is dog aggressive and they are fantastic about keeping him separate and doing add on solo dog walks when we lodge. The share a room which is great as that’s what they are used to. Pet play house is so accommodating with doing complex medication schedules. More than anything, the way they treat our dogs like their own is why we use their service. We highly recommend their service, EVERY staff member we have dealt with is excellent - 10 out of 10!!!!!
Best pet resort in Santa Rosa. My dog has stayed there many times. I really trust them. They’re really good with their dogs and Fritz .
I had concerns about leaving our dog for doggy daycare. We had never put her in one before. She seems to have adjusted to going there. I feel comfortable letting her stay there. Thanx Jennifer for making it easy for us,and Stormy especially.
"Dogs get sick" and "Kennels are stressful." This is the answer I received when dismayed that my healthy vibrant corgi developed serious illness during his short stay at Pet Paradise. Left him there on Friday night, and he was vomiting, disoriented and lethargic by Sunday morning. Staff at the front desk had no information when we picked him up, and didn't bother to tell me my dog was sick until AFTER I paid the $100 tab for 2 nights. (I did not receive the Sunday AM voicemail they left until long after I collected my dog.) Later, by phone, the site manager expressed absolute indifference to the situation -- "Kennels are stressful" and "dogs get sick," Marylin said, after talking over me repeatedly to emphasize that they did "all they could" by simply calling us on Sunday morning. My sick dog was given no special attention, he was not isolated from the rest of the dogs for his or their safety, and he was left to sit unbathed after being discovered covered in his own vomit when they found him in the morning. He was a wreck! The LEAST they could do is apologize and act like they care at all for my dog, who has been going there for short stays for years now. I incurred a $176 vet bill to learn that my dog had eaten something toxic while there (likely another dog's poop) and the owner (who will not call me and makes Marylin do all of his communicating for him) will neither refund the hefty cost of our dog's stay nor compensate us for the vet bill that was 100% attributable to the negligence of his staff. DON'T SEND YOUR DOGS TO THIS EXPENSIVE DIRTY KENNEL RUN BY FOLKS WHO WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNSAFE CONDITIONS!
It's all about the care they show for your precious pet. They require a screening visit to observe your pet with the pups. They gave us a swag bag following the screening visit and our pet adopted the plush toy immediately. Real time video is available on an app on your phone. It is great to be able to visually check on your loved ones. We are confident in the level of care they provide.
Our Ryder is about 2 years old. He’s a rescue and full of energy. It’s been many years that we’ve had a young dog. We decided to put him in doggie daycare to get his energy out. Oh my gosh it works. I like that I can watch him play. He never stops. Everyone at Paradise Pet Resort is so nice and cares for the dogs.
I was stunned when I picked up our Neufoundland, she was so unbelievably beautiful. We finally hit the jackpot with Paradise Pet Resorts & Grooming, especially with Lana. She is a "Grooming Goddess" extraordinaire! She worked with our pet who is older and being a large breed, has some pain issues. For the first time ever, our dog did not collapse in pain when we got her home, the way she did with previous groomers. In some miraculous way, Lana had the patience and insight to work on her for THREE HOURS making her look, act and behave brand new. She was able to move freely the next day, too. Thank you Paradise Pet Resort for being such an awesome and happy place for dogs and for employing such incredible, professional employees, especially Lana!
They are very good with the dogs. My dog is very frightened and they usually just wrap him up in a warm blanket and keep him calm. Some people tell me that their dogs love going to the place but my little dog has separation issues.
We’ve taken our Pomeranian to Gina at Four Paws for nearly 2 years since he was a puppy. We’re always happy with his specialty “teddy bear” cut. We’ve recommended Giur Paws to several friends.
We just love Bernadette in the Grooming area. She is so thoughtful and so good with our 2 dogs. She always goes above and beyond to help them. She is such a Great person... Joyce & Dave Sunderman
Dear 4 Paws Team, I just wanted to say how much we love bringing our dog to 4 Paws! Everyone is super friendly and it’s clear that you all love your job. Our dog comes home exhausted from playing all day, which is fantastic. The location is great, and the facility with its open field is wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our furry friends Best regards,
We absolutely love 4Paws Pet Ranch! We return for Joe’s hair cut every 3 months or so. They are great with the dogs and excellent stylists. I highly recommend them to everyone who loves their dog and wants them to look their best! They also have fantastic boarding services if you need to leave your baby behind for a few days!
Our super-energetic pup lives for Four Paws! We take him most work days and are incredibly thankful for the care and exercise he receives there. Without this outlet, I’m not sure we could have survived him and he might not have developed into the cool dog he is now…he’s awesome, but still a handful! Great staff loves him, and that makes us all happy!
I’ve been using Four Paws for over 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their friendliness and kindness, and I know that they take care of my dogs
I took my cat, Trout, here. They made it as pleasant as such an experience can be. I expected Trout to be traumatized, but when I let her out in the car - aside from loving on me for the first five minutes and then going back into her travel bag and growling at me for leaving her for a hot second - she was all cuddles immediately after. She made friends with the staff, they are all excited to see her come back. The hardest part was signing the standard release form. But it worked for boarding in a pinch. Trout wasn't traumatized at all. <3 Bring your paperwork!
Four Paws Pet Ranch is a wonderful place. Dragon loves his daycare with his doggy pals. Boarding is very good. I've only been a client for a year, but I have friends who've taken their dogs for many years. Highly recommend.
This is where I got my PJ from. When I met him, he was totally wild . He would not let you approach him or pet him. He would not go anywhere on a leash. Amanda, who worked there at the time was very helpful in making the transition. He is now the cutest, sweetest most wonderful little dog I’ve ever had.
I’m not sure what all goes on at Four Paws Pet Ranch when I board my dogs but they get SO excited when we arrive! They start talking and can’t sit still. I literally never hear them talk any other time! Four Paws Pet Ranch has always been so great to my dog reactive rescue mix. He was unable to be boarded with other dogs and could even climb chain link fences, so they had a specific kennel they could keep him in. My family lives in GA and sometimes I have had to travel back and visit. I once got sick and had to extend my stay an extra 10 days….They took care of both my pups and helped put one part of an otherwise awful trip at ease. These people are the best! Can’t recommend them enough!
fun place
Excellent kennel and great service for many years. They really know how to care for dogs.
We have been using Bundock's Kennel for years. They treat our dog beautifully. He is always in good shape, happy when we pick him up and calm when we drop him off.
Thank you Sharon and Team for all of your love and care of baby J. 🫶🏼 See you soon 🌞 …
Sharon and her staff are just great. They love their furry friends and take great care of them. We love visiting Bundocks to see the mini mischief makers.
I love this place it is a very good place to bring your dog if you want to see/ get positive results when it comes to obedience/training or even if your pet needs a little freshening up. good prices for great service.
Clean, friendly, large yard. Dogs are in a comfortable setting and cared for with integrity. I have gotten two dogs from them.
