Dog Sitters in Lower Lake, CA

After boarding my little yorkie in kennels all around the area and always picking him up sick with kennel cough, or even a hurt leg, and taking weeks for him to unstress, I was very skeptical of everywhere. Just seemed no good solution for leaving him anywhere. I was referred to Christy, and was still skeptical until I met her and saw her place! She is so nice and her place is really clean and dog friendly! You can tell right away how great she is with dogs. She kept him for 10 days, and sent daily pictures and updates. I felt really good about where he was and how he was being treated. I picked him up and he was so healthy, happy and even bathed! So nice to be able to know I don't have to stress about going away anymore and what I will do with Max! Thank you so much Christy, you're a gem!

My two pups Bella and Bode just love Christina's pet care. They didn't want to leave when I came back to pick them up! I know they are in loving, caring hands when I drop off at Christina's. My highest recommendation !!!

Christina is fantastic! She took care of our large, energetic puppy, Charlie, for 8 days. This was my first time boarding a pet, so I had concerns. But Christina eased all of those right away. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and asked all the right questions to learn about our puppy. While we were away, Christina sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She even made homemade food to add to Charlie's kibbles! Upon pick up, I could tell Charlie felt very comfortable with Christina and had had a great stay. She is the only boarder I will call next time we have a need.

This is Molly my puppy who spent 3 nights at Christina's pet sitting. Molly made new friends and enjoyed her time. Christina sent pictures every day of activities that Molly was involved in with other dogs and cats as the picture shows. I highly recommend Home Away From Home if you need a caring person to take care of your pet.

At first I was a bit apprehensive leaving my beloved dog with someone I did not know. However, upon meeting Christina and seeing the way she treats her own dogs and how clean her house is I felt very comfortable leaving him there for a few days. Christna is great and treated my dog extremely well. She sent pictures a few times every day and I could see that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Home away from home Christina pet sitting. Everything was great!

I highly recommend Home Away from Home, Christina's Pet Sitting and I would give her 10 stars if I could. Right away when I contacted Christina I could tell that she was very professional and cares a great deal about animals. Before my Mia came for the weekend we arranged for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would get along with her pets. Luckily, all went well. Mia had a great time at Christinas and she sent me daily pictures and updates which I truly appreciated. The name of her business accurately describes that it is a "home away from home" for your pet.

Our dog needed a sitter for one night at short notice. Christina was super flexible and helpful. It was the first time in our dog's life to spend a night without us. At 5 months old, he and Christina did a great job. The next day we picked him up safely. He was a little intimidated, but that was certainly due to the unfamiliar situation. Payment was made in advance. Everything went smoothly and in a friendly manner. If we need a dog sitter again, we turn to Christine.

Initially I was hesitant on the idea of boarding at a non traditional kennel facility, but boy was I wrong. My two fur children got the 5 star hotel resort and spa treatment. Christina is an absolute amazing sitter here in clearlake at Home away from home. Christina was extremely welcoming and showed me around her house and where the dogs would be staying. I was very pleased with how she was welcoming to my dogs who have never stayed in another persons home before. She sent updates throughout the stay, and plenty of pictures that made my work day go by quicker. She was extremely thorough and required all paperwork of current vaccines for both of my dogs which again, showed me that she was very careful and mindful of illness that may arise from not having vaccinated pets. When I came to pick them up, she even included a complimentary doggy dinner that she makes organically at home. I was so pleased with my dogs stay that we have decided to board with her weekly. Christina was an absolute delight and my pets had a great time! 5 stars!

Need someone to watch your animal while you are away? Want someone who will care for your dog just like you would? Want your dog to stay in a clean home with someone who loves animals? Christina is the person you need! Christina took excellent care of my dog while we were on a 3 week vacation. She loved him, walked him, made him homemade dog biscuits, and texted us daily with pics and told us how their day went. Don't take your dog to a kennel, take them to Christina and know that your loved one is safe and happy while you are away.

I am a travel, nurse and work long hours at the hospital. I’m usually gone for 13 hours at a time, and am always needing a place to take my puppy when I work. Christina’s house has truly become my dog”s home away from home! Driving to Christina‘s house on a work day is what my puppy’s, Juniper favorite thing! She jumps into the car and wiggles all the way there. Juniper runs straight from the car to the door and rushes through the door when it’s opened!. If she could turn around and say to me how much she loves it here I think she would. But how happy she looks says it all!!!!

Great place for daycare or overnight stay for your dog. Splinter gets so excited when we turn onto the road and he sees the building. It is easy to see everyone there really loves dogs and Valeri, the business owner, is so nice and easy to work with. I feel confident my Splinter is happy and safe at Rover. Highly recommended!

Great place, good energy. Valeri was easy to talk to. She even took the time to send me a couple of pictures of my dog Hank with his new play pals. The look on Hank's face said it all. (Happy dog.) And speaking of Hank, he's been pestering me to let him say a few words about his stay at,"Send rover on over." Hi Hank here, I promised my mom I'd keep it short. But it will be tough because i have soo much to say. I really like this place. I have a new best pal, "Milo." He's everything you'd want in a friend. Fun, funny and spontaneous. He even looks like me After a hard morning of play we have naptime. Now, naptime is not something I usually look forward to but I actually welcomed it here. The people that work here are kind and friendly. And get this, we even get to bring our own bed and blanket for overnighters. How cool is that!? I give ,"Send rover on over" 5 plus tail wags.

This place is wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and provide a high quality experience.

If you have a fur baby and need day care, play dates, boarding or training Send Rover on Over is the place. I trust Valerie and staff with my heart. Her name is Molly. She has so much fun playing with the other pups and begins whinning as soon as we turn onto their road. I can't recommend it more highly.

My dog loves it here! Great supervision. Dogs are carefully assessed for temperament, and grouped with dogs with similar energy levels. No aversive methods used. My dog comes home tired but not exhausted.

Started bringing my Wesite weekly for daycare to socialize and we couldn't be happier. Valerie is so knowledgable , caring and truly an advocate for the dogs in her care. I felt she really knows her craft and watches out for all of the dogs, choosing what is best for them in different situations. My Westie is so happy now to go for her "day of play"..Next we will plan an overnight . I Know my dog will be in the best of hands..Highly recommend

Very happy to say that "Oliver" the groomer listen to what I wanted. He nailed it. Schnauzer cut all the way. Valeri is easy to talk to, she worked with me on my time. I have a new grooming family. Woohoo.

Very insightful related to dogs, dog care, breeds, disposition etc. Training and socialization are core part of the system and they are In touch and in tune the individual dog. We were pleasantly surprised that Becca correctly identified the dog's breed which had excaped us. She served as the advocate for the dog and his interest: we could not have asked for anything more. All the dog's in daycare seemed happy and content.

My dog got kennel cough her because Val goes on the 'HONOR SYSTEM" when it comes to checking pet vaccines. Been boarding and going to classes with my sogs for 25 years and this has never happened. Very unprofessional.

Had "Signature" waygu burger. Hooked to perfection. If you want medium rare, order medium. Margaritas made with fresh ingredients. Can hardly wait to try their ribs.

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!

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.

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

I have so much praise for my experience training with Sarah at IDTE. I am now able to have more fun with my dog because of what I've learned and I still marvel regularly at how much I didn't know. Sarah has an intuition with animals that is beyond compare. I had done research on dog training and watched lots of Youtube videos but, hanging out with my dog and talking to Sarah is like have a translator with you in a foreign country. Suddenly behaviors have meaning and I know how to respond. I have had so many aha! moments with her explaining to me what my dogs motivation is and how I can communicate what I want from him to him. Also the property at IDTE has a network of walking trails which is a really great bonus. To be able to utilize hiking trails with no worries of random dogs is a great way to accustom your puppy to the outdoors.

I highly recommend Sarah! My husband and I adopted a Doberman Pincher who had some issues and she showed us the tools we needed to help correct his behavior and he is by far the best dog besides my late doggie who passed 4 years ago. Cinch is a amazing dog and with Sarah's help and guidance he became the perfect family dog for us.

Sarah Thompson has worked miracles with my dog. I adopted a shy lab from a local shelter who needed a lot of expert help. With Sarah's expertise, our dog is blossoming into a wonderful treasure to our family. Sarah has advanced awareness of dog psychology and shares fascinating insights while effectively shaping desirable dog behaviors. I'd still love to get to her weekend group classes now and learn more techniques. I'd highly recommend her programs.

Highly highly highly recommend. I have been meaning to write this review for over a year but I get overwhelmed with just how much Sarah and her teachings have impacted my life and shaped how I relate to dogs. I did a board and train program, one on one lessons at her facility, one on one lessons in public locations, attended in-public group lessons at the hardware store, and on Sundays attended her play group sessions (highly highly recommend). Sarah is the real deal. She cares with all of her being and her knowledge and experience are *mind blown emoji*. As a client, you have to understand that you have to show up, put in the work, and be consistent at home and you WILL see results. Sarah will support you and teach you everything she knows! She has a way of explaining things that is relatable, easy to understand, and allows things to just "click". I could have sat there and listened to her talk all things dog for hours! Sarah has guided me through navigating a reactive dog, a fearful shutdown dog, and a top ranking dog (all seperate). She is quick to communicate, and even after moving out of state she *still* spends so much time responding to all my dog training questions, being a continuous pillar of support in my journey with dog training and understanding them. I could cry I am so grateful. Sarah, thank you.

They are training me,my dog is way smart,it's me that's the problem, but they help me the first day! Night and day difference, we have a year old Rottweiler that got labeled vicious, anyway they are perfect,reward ,pleasure treatment type training,and they care about my dog being ok,mentally and physically, and very patient with me,I am kind of set in my ways ,66 years of my way,wasn't working,there way is,highly recommended

Amazing people the classes and training are amazing and easy to follow! They train and shape your dog and it's behaviors to suit your family and needs!

Solid and dedicated professional services. The dogs are taken care of with all possible considerations and love.

Great instructor who takes excellent care of puppies boarded with her.

Sarah is absolutely wonderful and excellent with our puppy.

Very helpful. Help with pet problem

Do not take your pets here. If I could not leave a star I would. Extremely disappointed with this kennel. Dropped off my two dogs on July 26th and picked them back up on August 4th. Upon arrival a man I hadn’t met before came to help us retrieve our dogs. He did not ask us for our identification nor did he have us sign the dogs out, anyone could have come to retrieve them with no verification. When we arrived home we found that both dogs had only been fed two days out of the ten days they were there. We had not been notified that there was a disturbance in their eating habits. I had called twice to check up on their conditions and was told that they were doing well and that they had tried to send us picture updates that didn’t go through due to poor cell phone service. Nothing was mentioned about them not eating. Also in the bag I sent containing their food bags, documents, and leashes was a handful of fresh rat/mouse dropping’s. I immediately called the kennel to voice my concerns and was told that the owners of the kennel were on vacation out of state. I was not told that the owners of the kennel would be out of state during my pets stay. When I explained the situation to their teenage daughter that was left in charge of our pets and many others, I was told that they were fed everyday and that she didn’t understand. When I addressed that they could not have been fed everyday because I had in front of me the uneaten food bags she said “Well I didn’t give the others proper feeding instructions and I think they might have fed them the food from your sisters dog bag.” My sisters dog had also stayed with them the same duration and also had food bags left over in his bag. Therefore there was not enough food to be shared between three dogs that get fed twice a day for ten days. I asked her to have the owners call me back to further discuss the issues when they return from their vacation. I will not be using this kennel again and I highly recommend other pet owners go else where. I will be kenneling my dogs in Ukiah or further if I have to for better care.

Our two dogs stayed for 10 days. Upon picking them up with no proof that we were their owners we found 8 days of food left in our bag. We called asking how they were eating and the kid on the phone swore up and down that they ate every day. I don’t know how that’s possible since we left clear instructions on their very simple eating schedule and it shows that they only ate 2 days worth of food. There was also rat poop at the bottom of the bag we left with them. Wanting to speak to the owners, the kid on the phone said that they are in Texas for two weeks. Which, the owners swore they tried to send us pictures of the dogs while we were on our trip but it’s sounding like they weren’t even there in the first place. The owners left their high school children in charge while they were gone. It’s pretty said when the only hopeful thought of leaving our dogs with them is “Well they aren’t dead”.

Wonderful place. Took wonderful care of our dogs. And has an indoor/outdoor with a.c. for hot days. I wouldn't take my dogs to any other kennel.

Awesome service & prices! Always helpful! Always clean! AAA! My little guy loves this place yours will too! Ty

The place had kennel cough

Friendly and open early

I met Marina several years ago and she took care of our dog, Milo with the best care we could ask for. She stayed in our home for vacations and did day visits at other times. We lost our Milo last year and since I miss seeing Marina. She is a gem!

Marina is the best! She is so very kind, thoughtful, organized and has an excellent communication style. Our little dog is in heaven when he stays with Marina. He is treated like royalty!

Our little pooch Eddie has totally loved his times with Marina and family when we've had to be away. And wherever we were, we got sent regular photos and videos of Eddie with his canine pals playing together and living the good life! Comfort and care supreme for Eddie, and the SAME for us! Five stars isn't enough!

We met Marina when our puppy was just about ten weeks old. She's helped us over the years in several ways: coming by for an hour, watching the dogs all day, or even house sitting. Marina is very reliable and trustworthy. She sends pictures several times a day. Our doggy loves her and is always excited to see her. We have friends we'd referred Marina to, who are just as happy wth her as we are. We recommend Marina without any reservation.

Marina is the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered. She is kind, reliable, honest - I could go on and on. Marina truly cares about animals. Everything she says and does makes that clear from the start. She sat for our very active young lab and and he adores her. Marina is always our first choice for pet and home sitting.

I have used Marina's services several times. She is awesome! I have 3 dogs two are seniors and one is special needs. They all love her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I feel very comfortable with her in my home. She was in constant communication with me sending many pictures. I was confident my pets were in the best hands. I highly recommend her.

Marina is an absolute dream pet sitter. You can tell she really loves animals and my dogs picked up on that the moment they met her. She is clean, conscientious, communicative, and responsible, and just a lovely human. I trust her 100% with my precious fur babies!

Marina is a treasure! She is absolutely reliable. She is someone whom you can count on to make the same decisions you would if she can’t in touch with you. She has an almost magical connection to animals including our skittish cats and our bouncy German Shepherd. She is someone whom you can trust.

Our dog loves being in Marina’s care! And we love how generously Marina takes care of our big 75-pound baby. You couldn’t ask for more from this pet caregiver. You and your pet will be lucky to connect with her.

I hired Marina to stay with my dog for three days and two nights while I was out of town, and when I came home I could tell my little girl Roweena was disappointed to see me and wished that Marina would stay on indefinitely. Lol,… no seriously, I really cannot say enough good about Marina. Your pet could not be placed in better, more loving hands.

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!

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!
