Dog Sitters in Lovelock, CA

Gary and his family are great! My Bullmastiff Bear loves it there, and is always wiped out when I bring him home...a tired dog is a happy dog!

Gary was extremely accommodating of our last-minute request when our dog sitter fell through. He clearly cares about all the animals he watches, and he has a great setup at his house. Our two dogs enjoyed their time there and I felt better knowing they were being cared for by a professional!

Gary was so accommodating for our last minute needs for our dog Bali. He kept us updated with photos of how much fun she was having. We could relax and enjoy our trip because we felt our pup was being cared for as if she were home with us. Bali came home happy and exhausted from all the fun she had!

I don't board my dog often so I'm very picky about where he goes. At Paws and Claws, i felt like Rocco was staying with a friend. He has a huge yard to play in and a cozy place to spend the night.

Amazing! The best place to bring your dog for boarding. Very nice and professional owner who you can tell really cares about the animals.

Looks like we have the same person giving us three stars as well as some other pet services and not explaining nor have they used our services... Here is boost from one business owner from another

Wonderful compassionate people

There is only one service we use when we go out of town, and that’s Secret and her Fetch Pet Sitting. Secret has taken amazing care of our two big dogs and cat while we are out of town. We have used her overnight, and up to two weeks at a time. She is very responsible, and helps out not only with pet care, but is more than willing to collect your mail, water your plants etc. She is extremely trustworthy and texts us daily updates, along with pictures if we so desire. Our dogs and cat love Secret, we love Secret, and you will too!

Can't imagine allowing anyone to dog-sit our kids except Secret. Always professional, and on-time. Our dogs love her. Secret almost always sleeps over to care for our special needs cat. Living on 5 acres the dogs can be a handful. I have yet to have any problems with them, and it's very reassuring that Secret has a background in Veterinary Technology. Definitely our go-to pet person.

Secret has a way with animals. Our dog Jeter can be pretty rambunctious, and Secret will hold her palm out to him and he sits down immediately, tail going 100 mph in anticipation of his belly scratch. Secret is reliable and trustworthy. She has been dog sitting for us for years. I highly recommend her.

Secret is a dog whisperer! She was prompt, professional, congenial, and easy to be with. Lucy (our golden retriever) became friends right away. Secret stayed at our house and when we returned it looked as good as we left it. 5 stars from us! Thank you, Secret!

We have hired quite a few pet sitters in the past, and so far SECRET is the very best of them all. She’s very responsible She treated our Puddles and Zeus like her own babies so to speak. They loved her the very moment they met her. She stayed at our house and lovingly gave them TLC. She’s simply the best and I highly recommend her service.

My dogs love Secret. When I leave them with her I know they will be well taken care of and loved.

The Wacky Wags team is incredible. Always goes above and beyond to take care of our Dog and treats him like their very own. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Always friendly and professional! McLovin never seems to mind being dropped off there for boarding. He gets to play with his friends.

Wacky Wags treats our dog like he's their own. He's an anxious dog with a cautious temperament but he loves Wacky Wags and that says a lot for him. The owners and employees are always so pleasant, patient, understanding, and helpful. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. I was nervous about boarding my dog Bella because she's a pandemic puppy and has separation anxiety. The care and attention by the staff put those worries to rest. I was able to see how much fun she was having through their puppy cam. Shout out to Dalton for giving me updates on Bella while I was on my trip.The pricing is also very reasonable for the attention and care they provide. Don't hesitate to check it out.

Left my Bull Terrier Mix there for seven days while I traveled. I had acclimated him there by leaving him for day care. Once I pull into the driveway he's already looking forward to entering the facility. Having worked at a dog ranch for a number of years, I knew what my expectations were. Wacky Wags did not disappoint. Everything went smoothly with arranging overnight care. My companion was well cared for and was well rested. I would highly recommend Wacky Wags. If I need daycare or overnight care again for my companion, Wacky Wags will be my choice.

Love the facility and the staff!! I left my 3 babies (dogs) with them. This was the first time ever leaving my kids at a boarding facility. The staff is amazing. They give your pet one on one attention and actually get to know their personalities! They also put up with me and eased all of my worries! I know they are in great hands! Thank you everyone at Wacky Wags for being so Awesome!

This is the only place I trust with my pup. Every time we drop him off, he can't wait to go play with his other pupper friends. Thank you Wacky Wags for providing a safe, fun place for Toby to go to that allows me to not worry while I'm away!

They took great care of our girls!!!

I am one of those people who constantly worries about their pet. It is so nice that people who board their pets here have the ability to check on them with access to cameras. Odie always comes home tired after he stays here. The staff are super nice and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place for boarding and daycare.

Loooooove this place! I had recently adopted my dog when my husband and i has to leave for two days and were unable ti take Stella(my pup). She had been boarded here previously , so naturally it was my first thought. I called and set it up. What blew my mind is that when she and i walked in they knew exactly who she was! Down to knowing the pumpkin I add to her food! On our second visit , she was getting her nails trimmed. Something to know about my Stella is , all 7lbs of her is separation anxiety. So during her mini spa day , The owner held her ever so lovingly in his arms as he gentley trimmed her up. I can not speak highly enough of this place , and will continue to give them my business 💙💙💙💙💙

We decided to leave our 2 large dogs with Justin instead of having them kenneled for 5 days. We were anxious about leaving them since we had never left them for more than 1 night before. Justin was extremely flexible and easy to deal with. He made our dogs feel at home, took good care of them and consistently sent us texts and pics to let us know how our doggos were doing. IMO leaving them with Justin was far better than bringing them to a kennel. If we ever have a need for such a service in the future we will definitely be calling McDavitt Pet Care. Thanks Justin!

We are so happy that we have found Justin's Pet Care. Our Lab was not in a kennel, but allowed to be outside playing with the other dogs. I appreciated that fact that Justin would text us photos daily of our dog and answer any questions we might have. We were in constant contact. I would highly recommend Justin!

Just picked up my extremely high maintenance pup from 4 days with Justin. She is happy and tired and had a great time! Justin sent me pictures and updates throughout and accommodated a last minute medication change. Highly recommend!!

We are so happy we found Justin to watch our puppy. We only had Max for a couple months before we needed a sitter due to a pre-planned vacation. I was torn leaving him with a stranger but Justin sent me updates and pictures of Max while we were gone. That made me really happy to know Max was having a great time. Max will definitely see Justin again when we need a sitter!

Justin watched our two cats for five days and we couldn't be more impressed with his service. He is very kind and dependable sending us pictures and updates each day and the kitties seemed to love him! Highly recommend him to care for any critter out there!

Justin takes wonderful care of our dog. He always lets us know when he is feeding and walking her. We will not hesitate to use him in the future.

I needed a sitter for my two puppies last minute and Justin was so kind and accommodating. He took pics and kept in touch. Will definitely use again!

Nacho LOVES his time with Justin. I’m so thankful to have someone I trust with my fur child.

Justin provided excellent customer service and responded right away to my requests. Extremely professional, caring and also reasonably priced. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Justin is very reliable, patient, kind and flexible. Absolutely recommend him!

My dogs and I love Sitter for Your Critters! They are always there when we need them to drop in or walk the dogs. I get pictures and a detailed update on how things went. The sitters we’ve had always follow the directions and the dogs love them. I feel comfortable being away when I know Sitter for Your Critters will be coming to play with the pups. These are some of the photos I’ve received ❤️🐾

Sitter For Your Critters is absolutely incredible!! Our community is beyond lucky to have them and I couldn't possibly recommend them enough. I'm a guy who cares extremely deeply about my cats, and cannot attain peace of mind unless they're in good hands while I'm gone. Johnathan is an amazing caretaker, and goes the extra mile and then some each and every time he watches them. I have literally never met another man I'd rather have watch over my cats. The owner Kelly is awesome, she's so sweet and passionate about her business. For years, I had trouble leaving home away from my cats. After I found S4YC, that anxiety is gone and I can rest easy knowing they're happy and in great hands. Thank you so much S4YC!

We have had an amazing experience with sitters for critters with both Kelly and Jonathan! Our animals were all well cared for, my house was kept clean and they provided amazing, thorough updates along with pictures! Very happy, highly recommended and can’t wait to use them again!

Sitter For Your Critters is such a great organization, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’ve been helping me with my dog for several years now, providing everything from walking & playing, to feeding & medication administration, to cuddling and petting. The Sitters are very well trained and highly competent; my dog works with them eagerly, comfortably and happily. Communication is very good - it’s quick and accurate, and they are very responsive. I feel one hundred percent safe and comfortable with the Sitters in my home and in charge of my dog. I trust Sitter For Your Critters implicitly and without any reservation. I feel so fortunate that they are located in my town. I don’t know what I would have done without them on many occasions and I’m grateful for their support.

We tell everyone we know about Sitter For Your Critters, they are the absolute BEST! We only trust them with our 4 kitties. Not only do they take the best care of our cats but the little things Katie does like empty trash, clean up kibble just make it so nice to come home to. We’ve used them for over 2 years and will book them everytime. Also Katie takes the best pics of them and we love the daily reports.

I've been using Sitters for Your Critters for almost a year now to help me care for my dog during long work days, and I would recommend them to anyone! They are reliable, respond to messages quickly, and after each visit they send photos, a detailed message about what they did with your pet, and sometimes even a video. I just know from the photos of the sitter snuggling my dog that she is in good hands, and it's such a comfort to me to know my girl is being cared for by someone trustworthy! Highly recommend.

Rachel and Jonathan, of Sitter for your Critters shared the care responsibilities for my gregarious Labradoodle over a period of two weeks. From walking him, to teaching him new skills, cleaning up after him, along with his feedings, they kept such good care of him it helped me enjoy my adventure. I even got adorable pics, daily, of my Dood on the walks, yard play, and quiet time with the sitter. The sitter, at each visit, also checked around my home, collected my mail, and watered my plants. Each Sitter for your Critters sitter is amazing. Their kindness and care for my Dood was exemplary! This group was easily the best care I have found for my companion and my home in five years!

We cannot recommend Sitter For Your Critters highly enough! We have had them watching our animals for four trips now and we are NEVER going back to having a friend, neighbor, or family member sit for us. From photos of the pets on every visit to detailed accounts of how the visit went, this company does it all! Cedric is an exceptional person, I am so glad they're watching our pets! You can absolutely rest assured that your home and animals will be in good hands.

We found Sitters for your Critters right as we moved to Chico and used their services regularly for the 7 years we lived there. Owner Kelley Denz and regular sitter Jonathon Greenfield took great care of our two kitties and we always looked forward to seeing Jonathons pro level photos of his visits with them! Just knowing they would be by our property twice a day allowed us to relax and enjoy our times away. The ease of scheduling online and always prompt and friendly communication makes Sitters for your Critters stand out above so many other services. Do yourself a favor and hire these great petsitters!

We have had excellent experiences with Sitter For Your Critter. On our most recent trip, Jonathan took exceptional care of our four cats. I looked forward to getting daily reports and pictures every day. I felt he truly enjoyed our kitties and cared about their well being. I was never concerned about them because I knew Jonathan was taking excellent care of them. Photo cred: Jonathan.

They are wonderful

The nicest most caring pet sitters in the known univese

They are committed, caring and dependable!

Great facility, our dogs are always happy when we board them here and are well taken care of! Very nice people and they have added bathing so the dogs come home nice and clean. Can't say enough great things about this business!

I recently had to leave my dog for a week while traveling to the East Coast, and after trying different solutions like having someone stop by the house or house-sitting, none had quite met my expectations. I was extremely anxious about boarding her, especially when the Park fire broke out on our first night away. However, Terry, the owner of K9 Meridian Resort, was incredibly accessible and reassured me that everything was fine. He eased my worries, and when we picked her up, she was so happy and well taken care of. It almost seemed like she wanted to stay and play some more! I am immensely thankful for Canine Meridian Resort and look forward to having our baby girl stay there again during our future trips, ensuring she has a happy and safe stay while we’re away from home.

Terry and his staff are AMAZING! My family is comforted knowing our dogs are well cared for!

We've brought our energetic and friendly pup here a few times now. He seems to enjoy spending time with the other dogs playing, no complaints from him. He came home happy, healthy and clean. I believe there is a wash service available for longer stays. He had no signs of scuffles with other dogs, despite how exuberant he is to play with others. All the other boarded dogs seem to have a nice temperament, and are quite loved by their families. They seemed to be a happy bunch and no signs of distress at all. I'd venture to say they rather enjoy this play time while owners are away The kennels are very clean and the outdoor area is beautiful, shade is available. There is nice grassy area and the other dogs seemed quite happy with their stay as well. Getting ahold of owner is a bit difficult via phone, because this is also a busy farm utilized for weddings and events. I believe email was best communication for questions. So plan ahead if you have questions or need to contact. The kennel is located at back of property past the main home and horse areas. Drive past the statue of a buck and the driveway will lead you to kennel area Our pup is spoiled and the kids hate having to board him, but they feel good about his stays here and trust the environment. The location is absolutely beautiful and the kennel is clean and peaceful. We will be return patrons for vacations.

Terry and his crew take great care of me when my dad leaves me at Meridian K9 Resort. I love seeing my ranch buddies.

I was worried about leaving my 14yr old big boy at kennel. In the past I've relied on family to care for him. I got home earlier than expected and went to pick him up. Driving up I saw Mr Bear lounging outside with 2 other big dogs. He was just chilling out on the grass catching some rays, I was so relieved to see him so relaxed. Thank you Terry and crew

Terry is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He has been SO GOOD with our rambunctious adoptee, and managed her special needs so well. He has also been super accommodating when we've had a couple last minute emergencies. And to top it off, he's just a really friendly, funny guy. All the other local places charge about double of his prices, so it's a total no brainer. Customers for life!

I have boarded my dog here for 1-2 week stays while on vacation several times. Each time my dog has been happy there and well cared for. The place is always very clean and the staff are pleasant.

The moment I arrived at this country style kennel, I knew my dogs were going to have lots of doggie things to keep their minds and bodies active instead of confined and going crazy. Terry matches up dog groups with small doors they can go in and out of as they choose, all day long. My dogs have long been in need of this type of activity! The enclosures are expansive for daytime freedom and socialization, then they are kenneled at night in separate enclosures for “rest time”.

Great place! Super friendly staff and my dog loves coming here. I’ve been coming here for the last 5 years and highly recommend.

Highly recommend! I am a petsitter and really needed a petsitter while I had to take a trip out of the country and this was a perfect fit. My 2 small dogs had so much fun with the other dogs in their care! The dogs are in the home with them and they have access to an outdoor patio area and play yard. No cages or kennels. Kristen was amazing, she sent me photos and videos of my pups every day. It was hard to go out of town because I would miss them so much them, but I felt very good about their care and knew they were safe, getting exercise and being loved on. Thanks again to Kristen and her husband!

We have used Wolf Mountain Pet Retreat for boarding and grooming our 3 dogs. We couldn’t be happier with Kirsten and Mike and the amazing care they provided for our dogs. They kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages so we always knew our fur babies were happy and safe. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, and compassionate pet sitter, we highly recommend them and will be booking again in the future.

We boarded our dog Nugget at Wolf Rd Pet Retreat while on vacation. Kirsten and Mike opened up their home and welcomed Nugget like he was their own. He was well cared for and we received daily photo and video updates of him interacting with his new furry friends. Also, the pricing was very reasonable. Thank you for taking such good care of him. So glad we discovered Wolf Rd Pet Retreat

Great pet sitter. They welcome the animals into their home like they’re their own. They also pay keen attention to the interactions of the animals with one another making sure all are doing well and no Alpha dominates the others. I was also particularly impressed with how clean everything was. This is impressive given the nature of this work and demonstrates how they care for the animals. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Kirsten and Mike do an excellent job. Got pictures and updates daily for a 13 day stay. Our dog rarely is boarded and he had a good time. Would highly recommend them and Porter(the dog) will be back. Great place

We were in town for a couple days, and needed care for our dog Kaia on two separate occasions. Kirsten was super communicative, easygoing, and offered wonderful care for our dog. Each day Kaia came back very happy :), and we had total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.

Kirsten pet sit our dog and two cats for a week while we were on vacation. From beginning to end, it was a smooth experience and our fur babies were content and happy when we returned. Kirsten was also kind enough to water our garden that we had just planted and our flowers while we were away. She is reliable and responsible and kept us updated with texts and photos so that we knew our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend Wolf Road Pet Retreat for your pet sitting or dog boarding needs!

Kirsten was able to help me out in a pinch. She stepped in gracefully, did a fabulous job and my pets seemed to really love her. I came back home to a stress-free home and got pictures every morning of my "kids" 😘 …

We were going out of town for 3 nights and Wolf Road Retreat was close by and thought we would give a try for our Chanel(cat). I'm very picky and was nervous but Kristin shared photos and videos throughout the day and was in contact stating all was OK. Chanel seemed very happy which of course we were (are) happy. Will use again. M&A Bushee

This is our second time to board Scooby, He loves the place and I can feel compared of the last one. He likes Kirsten and Michael the owner. They gave him an enormous amount of attention. For me it’s more of building relationship to Scooby, he is very attach to us as an owner, also I appreciate there place they don’t put him in a Kennels they allowed Scooby to stay inside their own house and play with other dogs. He feels like he is part of the family. Thank you Kirsten for the wonderful care for Scooby.

All of our dogs have loved Canine Connection! We have been including Canine Connection classes/training/boarding for the past 15 years. Dr Sarah and staff have helped to get our last puppy to come out of his shell and he shines with confidence now. We have learned so much and are always pleased with the classes and behavior of our dogs. Canine connections staff absolutely love dogs and take such great care of them.

As first-time dog parents, I don’t think I’m overstating the fact that we wouldn’t have made it through puppyhood without Canine Connection!! Within just two weeks of bringing Desi home, Dr. Sarah conducted an in-home consultation, patiently addressing ALL our concerns. We then enrolled Desi in Puppy Kindergarten and initially tried Puppy Social Hour, but since she wasn’t quite ready, we switched to the Shy and Small Dog Social Hour. For about the first six months, Desi would hide under our chairs during playtime and struggled to interact with other dogs. Fast forward 2.5 years, thanks to the positive and caring support from Canine Connection, our once shy and anxious puppy is now the life of the party! She still enjoys daycare once a week, and when we need to board her, we trust that she’s in excellent hands.

I would give 6 stars if possible! I could write an essay on how fabulous Canine Connection is for our furry children. I currently have my second German Shepherd in their loving hands. My first GS was a rescue and so scared. Sarah helped me get him happy and friendly and he loved playing at day care and boarding when I was gone. My second GS came to me as a puppy. I utilized puppy social, kindergarten training, daycare, boarding and grooming services which all contribute to the friendly, happy 100# dog he is today. CC is his second home, and he runs to the gate as soon as he arrives. Facilities are safe and clean, staff is loving, friendly, patient and educated in positive dog training. I think I trust CC more than my own family to care for my sweet fur baby Bohdi. His smile tells me he loves CC!

Canine Connection trainers gave us a solid foundation when we began Puppy Kindergarten. We also participated in Puppy Social Class where we met other wonderful dogs/owners. We made those personal connections because of Canine Connection and have continued weekly walks over the years. In addition to the foundational work, we took several continuing education classes. The trainers are knowledgeable & caring. The classes are personal, informative & very helpful.

Why we love The Canine Connection. Dr. Sarah Richardson knows dogs! This is clear in the training classes she offers at The Canine Connection. Like people, dogs have different personalities. We have three Aussies with very different personalities and needs. Because of the variety of classes offered our dogs have flourished. Indie, our curious one, loved the Cognitive Canine and Hounds Around Town, anxious Eli was able to be with other dogs and have fun in Fungility and Abu, our blind dog, became more confident after attending Shy Dog Socials. Dr. Sarah also has a well-trained knowledgeable staff. Our dogs love them! Finally, understanding training isn’t just training your dog it is really about enhancing your relationship with your dog. This is the greatest benefit for us with our dogs! Thank you Canine Connection!

Lovely people, you will encounter playful dogs greeting ither loving owners when you go for your furry friend. There are a variety if helpful services and my dog seems glad to arrive, and sleepy on the trip home.

Our dog Maeve was treated so well here in daycare and boarding. She had fun with other dogs and also with the staff. The texts we received with photos always reassured us that she was doing well, safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!

Cannot rave enough about this place. We started with taking our energetic German Shepherd Rescue pup to puppy kindergarten there. 3 German Shepherds later, I can say that the classes have changed our relationship w our dogs over the years. We love playcare and boarding also. The staff is so so loving and my dog runs in and never looks back! They teach owners to see the world through the eyes of their dog and it helps SO much. This is my current girl, Surf and her BFF at playcare.

My dog, Nutmeg, has been going to The Canine Connection for six years now for various programs and services. He has enjoyed Doggie Daycare and many training classes. He loved the Small Dog Socials. Dr. Sarah has helped him so much with behavioral issues and training as well. I wholeheartedly recommend The Canine Connection as the BEST in Chico and the Northstate!

We LOVE Canine Connection! We adopted our very first dog - Sadie - just this past April(2024). Sadie is a 90-pound Great Pyrenees mix, and we adopted her from the Butte Humane Society. She's a fantastic dog, and it was a great experience to adopt her from the Butte Humane Society. But Sadie is a very reactive dog - so she would charge after other dogs....and even cars!....on our daily walks. We had NO idea what to do - nothing seemed to work. It got to the point where we could no longer take her out because she would charge after anything that moved - barking, running, chasing, lunging, pulling, just crazy! We started weekly lessons with Dr. Sarah and Anna about a month after we adopted Sadie - and then we started doing doggie day care at Canine Connection too. WOW - what a difference!!!! Dr. Sarah and Anna trained both Sadie and our family about dogs, walking your dog, training your dog, just everything. Within a few weeks, Sadie started to calm down on our walks - and we started to have more and more fun with her! Anna is phenomenal - she really worked intently with Sadie to learn her triggers, and how to calm her. It's like a night and day difference now - so much more fun to take Sadie out on walks! We can't thank Dr. Sarah, Anna and Canine Connection enough - they are INCREDIBLE. Very highly recommended. Sadie LOVES doggie day care there too - she always comes home so happy, so relaxed. We are indebted to everyone there - and Sadie LOVES being there with everyone too.......and absolutely LOVES Anna!!! Thank you so so much for everything you have done for us - and for Sadie - you are the best!!!! Our walks now are fantastic - Sadie is having a blast!

Had my two boys boarded there for six days. Top notch facility, very clean and looking forward for their services in the future.

Love this business! They occasionally groom our Bulldog and Pomeranian when we’re in the area. Very affordable, always seem to be flexible, and our dogs always come back happy, safe, and sound.

Friendly, fair prices for grooming, helpful and patient with the elderly. Thank you ladies. I have not needed boarding yet.

We had to board our 6mo old for 12 days for a trip overseas to visit family. We were trepidatious to leave her with anyone. .. We are very pleased with Foothill Boarding & will be visiting again when needed. Thank you Foothill for taking excellent care of Roxy and putting our minds at rest. You went above and beyond the call. I'm forever grateful.

They took amazing care of our little gal!

First time boarding here and I will definitely use them again. I was worried about my babies but the minute I got there my worries were eased. They go all out for their dogs. Misters, personal kennel fans and a great dog run. Prices were reasonable.

These folks are great. Reasonable and they are very good with the animals. I don't take my boy just anywhere!

Best place in town! These ladies are so sweet and kind. They do a wonderful job grooming my little Dachshund. She’s never had a cut or burn after being groomed. They also have a walk-in service for clipping their nails. I would highly recommend them. I’ve never boarded my pets there, but if I were to board them this would be the place I would choose. Very nice and clean facility and they provide indoor kennels.

I have been using Foothill Grooming for over a year. At first it was fine, they did a good job. Over the past couple of months it seems all of the staff in new. The gentleman who works there has no business dealing with animals or people. My dog was traumatized the last few times he went in and wouldn't eat for almost 2 days. I don't trust this place anymore, beware!

I am very pleased with the care my dogs received, and the staff is very friendly and kind. I left my dogs in there longer than intended, but it was not a problem. I would give this facility 5 Stars, but the only set back for me was their hours, 9 am to 3 pm. As I needed to travel as soon as possible, their hours delayed me. Also from the distance I was traveling from, a 10 hr drive, I was unable to collect them by their closing time. Other than that, I will happily bring them there in future should the need arise.
