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.
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!
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!
Lisa was an excellent pet sitter for our dogs Willa and Kato. She was attentive to their needs, administered medications, dealt with Kato’s unexpected ear problem and made sure they both were able to follow their daily routines and get plenty of exercise. It was quite obvious when we returned home that the three had bonded with each other and we know they will enjoy future sits already scheduled with Lisa. She was great about sending photos and updates while we were traveling, and it was a joy to come home to an immaculate house and thriving houseplants! We highly recommend Lisa as an extremely reliable, caring and self-sufficient pet sitter!
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
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:)

Our Cat “Big” was sorry that we came home after being gone for a month! Judy is loving, organized, & completely reliable. She took great care of Big, our interior & exterior plants, & mail, etc… We highly recommend July to taking care of your home and fur babies while you are away!
Judy stayed overnight with my dog and cat for four days, visiting them twice during each day. My pets were very happy with her. Thank you Judy.
Judy is reliable and my dogs love her. I appreciate how accommodating she is with scheduling, meds, and special needs. I don’t worry about a thing when she cares for my dogs.
Absolute God send. Contracted to cover my dogs for three days and due to an emergency in our family out of town she ended up helping us for months! So easy to work with, very understanding. The boys say hi!
Judy provided excellent loving care for my two outdoor cats. Sometimes they can be tough to wrangle in at night, Judy got them in with no problems. She also brought to my attention our leaky water heater preventing damage, as well as bringing in packages that had been delivered. She could have ignored both but went beyond what was expected. I feel confident in having Judy watch my animals and be in my home.
Judy is great! We had a last minute trip out of town and Judy was so flexible and accommodating to us and our pet’s needs. We felt 100% confident leaving our pets in her care. She is very responsive and dependable. I will definitely be using Judy again soon in the future!
Your fur babies are in great hands with Judy. She's trustworthy, kind, and very knowledgeable about cats and dogs. We've had the pleasure of her services for years and highly recommend her for your pet care needs...our three cats do too!
Judy was professional, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she sits for. She sent us updates and pictures which was very nice. She was also flexible and willing to provide a combination of check-in and overnight services to accommodate my cats' needs. I would absolutely recommend her services.
Our two kitties are our "kids", so we did extensive research for pet sitting services. We had never left them under someone else's care and we were apprehensive. Judy has the experience and expertise that sets her above other services we considered. We came home to two relaxed, well-cared for cats. Peace of mind is an excellent benefit! We're so thankful for Judy--she's a true animal lover! We look forward to calling her again.
Judy is amazing! She is super caring and attentive to our cats’ needs. We love our pets and trust her whole heartedly with their care. Highly recommended!
We use Janice 2x each week for our loving fur baby. She is a true asset to our community and we trust her with our precious Beagle. Plus he loves going and playing with his friends there. We don't know what we would do without her and her services.
We were in town visiting family from out of state with our two pups who’d never been in the care of anyone else and Janice was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating to both of our dogs and to us, she even sent pics of our pups to ensure our peace of mind. Janice was extremely sweet and we wish we had Janice where we leave for pup sitting back home
Found this dog-sitter on google. I was coming into town the day after Christmas and we needed someone to watch our two dogs during dinner so we could dine at a restaurant that didn't accept dogs. Called her and she called back quickly, not long after. We finalized the booking via text. The day before I confirmed via text. We showed up and there was dog stuff all over her car and house so we knew this was a dog person. Janice was so sweet in person and was so sweet with our dogs. She sent us updates and pictures of dogs looking relaxed. Pickup was easy and I told her I’d write this review. Thanks Janice!
Janice was fantastic! She provided excellent service and quickly addressed our needs. She treats all dogs as if they were her own and kept us updated on our dog’s well-being. She made us feel very comfortable and worry-free. I highly recommend her!
13 year old Tony usually stays with my mom when we go on vacation. This year we were on vacation at the same time. Janice the owner of Pet Nanny Paso was the perfect solution. She LOVES dogs!!! Her house is a dream doggie daycare. It is dog friendly and organized. Her expertise and passion for dogs made us feel that Tony was in the perfect place. He had a great visit with no adjustment issues. The dogs at Pet Nanny Paso were all friendly and playful. Janice sent us texts and pictures each day to show us how Tony's vacation was going. He had a blast! We recommend Pet Nanny Paso to anyone.
2nd time having Janice keep our weimaraner Jade. We love her and she's so in tuned to the dogs. She kept her overnight both times. Best pet sitter in paso will keep using her every time we come up.
Janice is a gem. Please book her for your pup. Her place is clean, indoors and out. She knows her doggies personalities and how to manage doggies that may not get along, but she has can handle care of all dog personalities. She is meticulous. You should trust her with your baby. She’s amazing. Lovely person.
We dropped off our Mini Schnauzer while we were at Hearst Castle and Sensorio. Janice is so nice and attentive. She was patient showing us around her large yard set up for dogs, texted photos while we were out, and also let us know that our harness was a size too small which we hadn't noticed. We'll definitely go with the Pet Nanny again next time we are in Paso Robles!
Janice is an exceptional caretaker for dogs. She's very professional and kind hearted. She took take care of my dog on short notice when I was visiting Paso Robles. I l would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of or watch your dog.
She was able to take me last minute. She also updated me on how my dog was doing throughout the day. Would definitely recommend.
We LOVE Critter Happiness! This is the only place I will take our dogs when we need to board them. Krissy and Eric are the best people and take the best care of our fur babies! Boarding area is beautiful and clean and surrounded by beautiful country views. This is like a fun vacation for your doggies! Make sure you choose Critter Happiness for your dogs, they will thank you for it.
If you’re ever worried about leaving your pup, this is the one place you don’t need to be! Upon drop-off arrival, we were greeted by Krissy and Eric who were so kind and welcoming. The space is large, open, and clearly well maintained. Over the course of our vacation, Krissy sent photo updates everyday of our dog – and his tail was up and wagging in every single one! It really gave us peace of mind to know that our pup was in great hands while we were away. The pups get walk and play time, and in addition, they have their own mini pool if they’d like. Krissy and Eric really do take the time to care for your dog which allows you to feel relaxed while you aren’t with them. We can’t thank them enough and will most definitely be returning!
I can’t recommend Critter Happiness enough! Krissy and Eric always take incredible care of my three dogs and treat them like their own! They were incredibly kind and flexible when I had flight issues, unable to pick up my dogs as scheduled and they had to stay another 12 hours, easing my mind after stressful traveling! Krissy sends multiple pictures everyday of them playing and running around. My pups ALWAYS come home so happy and absolutely exhausted from how much fun they have; they sleep for two days straight (it’s a win-win all around). Big thank you to Critter Happiness for the amazing experience every time!
Krissy is amazing! Krissy kept me updated daily on how my pup was doing and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. They provide plenty of room for your pup and even provide a splash pool if you're comfortable with it. My pup can be a handful for strangers and I'm in amazement on how easily she was able to provide him with a comfortable stay. After struggling for months to find somewhere my pup was comfortable staying we've finally found out our place for when I have to go out of town. You can trust your pup will be safe/happy/healthy in Krissy's hands. I can't say thank you enough!
We cannot say enough about how blessed we are to of discovered Critter Happiness to care for our “boys” when we travel. We have been boarding our 3 dogs (a 12 year old Shih Tzu, 11 year old Chihuahua mix & 3 year old chocolate lab mix) at Critters for varied duration of times for over a year now. Our boys love it , it’s like a vacation for them . We love getting daily photos of each of the dogs every morning . Our lab is in heaven staying in the big dog facility , safe and secure , getting lots of exercise and play time with the “new friends “ he makes with fellow boarders. Our 2 small dogs feel right at home getting to stay in the main house. We appreciate how Krissy and Eric are super accommodating to the needs of each dog . It is such a comfort knowing our boys are being well cared for as well as loved on while we are away .
Our regular kennel didn’t have availability for the weekend we needed so I checked out Critter Happiness on a whim and SO happy I did! They had great communication on what they needed from me as a new customer, clear directions on how to find their facility and what all I would need to bring. Their outdoor area was super clean and well shaded. Lots of space for the dogs to run around, even in their individual kennels. Even throughout my trip they sent me updates and pictures. And their prices are phenomenal compared to other local places. We will be returning customers!!
Our dogs Franc and Milo have boarded with Critter Happiness on several occasions for the past year and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Krissy & Eric are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure our dogs felt comfortable and at ease. The facility is spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for the dogs to play and exercise. We are particularly impressed with the large, outdoor play area which is not your typical long, dark, narrow boarding kennel. Our dogs have boarded with those other types of facilities and absolutely abhor them! Krissy provided daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that the dogs were having a great time. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs and treat them like family. Franc & Milo come home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun they had. We highly recommend Critter Happiness to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and engaging environment for their furry friends.
We are thrilled to have found Krissy and Eric to take care of our girl. We feel so lucky to have found a place that we are comfortable taking Nora to. Krissy and Eric are incredibly kind and flexible. Sometimes I think Nora has more fun at “camp” than she does at home! Krissy goes above and beyond to make sure each pup is taken care of and I fully trust she and her family with our fur baby.
Krissy and Eric have an amazing facility at Critter Happiness. We had recently adopted a pittie mix and were anxious to board him while we were on vacation. We came across Critter Happiness and had an introductory call with Krissy before deciding to give them a try. When we arrived to drop off our pup, Eric was there to greet us and give us a tour - we were blown away by property. They have created the ultimate summer camp for dogs with immaculate outdoor dog runs, play areas, and a trailer to ensure your dog sleeps safely at night. Krissy was great about sending us photos and updates everyday, which gave us peace of mind that our fur baby was being taken care of. Another big draw for us is that it is a smaller boarding facility, so we knew our dog would not be overwhelmed and receive plenty of attention/interaction. This place is truly a 10/10!
We are very happy with the way that Krissy and her family care for our dog, Riley. He has stayed with them for many stays over the past year and he has always been well cared for and loved during his visits. We get daily updates and a photo or 2 of our boy playing with other dogs or just looking happy and smiling! We have confidence in the care that he receives from Krissy and highly recommend her as a dog sitter!
Had my sweet Mora Kitty stayed here for six nights and it was a phenomenal experience for her and us. They sent many photos of her which really helped us relax while away. The people working there are warm and love animals. Pricing is very fair and seemed very willing to accommodate food scheduling. Would definitely come back for any pet housing needs.
Our dog is super-friendly and high-energy - to the point of sometimes being obnoxious. TH figured out the best practices for him to have a positive stay without negatively affecting the other dogs there. We have boarded and done daycare here multiple times, and are always happy with our experience.
We call this place dog ranch, and boy does our dog love dog ranch! We bring him here whenever we have to go on an overnight trip that we can't bring him on. He loves playing with the other dogs all day, and we love seeing the pictures they take of him. Our dog is a social dog who loves all humans and dogs, so it's a good environment for him. Highly recommend!
Excellent kennel care for our dog while we visited San Luis Obispo and were unable to keep her at our lodging. Very friendly staff, not only to us, but to the animals. Nice clean facilities. Lovely location. Nice large common area, and thoughtful placement with other animals. Highly recommended.
The people are so friendly the dogs have a great time every time they go to day care
Thousand Hills took such great care of my two cats! It was my first time boarding them and I was nervous about it, but the staff at Thousand Hills updated me with pictures and a "report card" (I've attached an image sent over by them during their stay) and was very accommodating when I wanted to check in over the phone during their week-long stay. The staff was attentive and my cats really enjoyed themselves. The staff even notified me after check out when they realized I had left a toy I had brought for my cats behind, and they held it for me for a month until I could pick it up since I had just moved out of town. Also very very affordable and great for last minute boarding! In summary, Thousand Hills has an amazing staff and I couldn't be happier with my experience boarding. Thank you!
Our dear Corgi (Fig, 18 months old) came back a few days ago from Thousand Hill Pet Resort. It was his first boarding experience in his life (one week) and it appears he had a REALLY good time. We also had him bathed right before pick which was really nice. We could not have been happier with the staff and how well Fig went right back into his routine with 0% evidence of stress. Thanks!!!!
Thousand hills pet resort is a must for pet owners who want to go on a trip. Or need even just daycare day. Care is a low cost amount and they can save cars on file for you and have information about your pets under their file for easy drop off. And pick up and payment. They are very professional and take good care of every dog that they board or watch for daycare. My 2 Jack Russell terriers are always happy to go there and get excited once they know where we are. What is nice is that you can leave feeding instructions. Toys measures feds and other things when you need to have them boarded for when you are going on a trip or out of town for several days. This has always been a pleasant experience for me. Using thousand hills pet resort in San Luis Obispo, California.
They treated our dogs great during their overnight stay. It's a cute place with very caring and attentive staff.
Wow! We are staying nearby from out of town, and used Thousand Hills Pet Resort for daycare for our two poodle mixes in their first daycare experience. From tip to tail, everything was perfect. The online portal was easy to navigate and get all of our information uploaded. We talked to Collin the night before we came and he was so helpful and didn’t mind our many questions. He assured us our dogs would have “the best day of their lives.” Drop off was easy, and our dogs happily trotted off with Collin. Pick up was similarly a breeze. We didn’t need to remind Collin who our pups were, and he got them right away, and gave us a report card. The are currently passed out, exhausted and happy after definitely having one of the best days of their lives. We will be back!
Our dogs know when they are going to the kennel. They start barking as soon as we are nearing the area. The barks are happy barks. (We can tell the difference) they cannot wait to get out of the truck wagging their tails running as fast as they can. The place looks clean and enough space for the dogs.
I boarded my cat there while my house was under construction, they have a very nice set up for cat and she was happy and well taken care of.
Last minute needing a place for our Nute. Thank you Happy Tails. First time stay for our Nute. Girls are awesome. Pleasant, giving, caring & loving staff. Thank u for making our Nute feel at home Gene & Teresa & Nute Greeley CO
My puppy Dusty had his second day there and he loves it!
They did a great job taking care of our two dogs. I appreciate that they get playtime every day.
Happy tails was not our first choice but happened to be the available boarding facility for our cats. They are the priciest I found but we were desperate. Our home was having mold remediation done for weeks and I couldn't find a place to accommodate our 3 cats for at least 2 weeks. I can't speak for the cats personal experiences, they survived the stay at happy tails, but they came home with a flea infestation. After over $100 in topical and home treatments on top of our over $800 stay, I'm feeling extremely frustrated. We were so relieved to finally be back in our mold free home with our cats and then had this huge stress punch us right in the face as we returned. I don't anticipate ever having to board our cats again but after happy tails response I would choose elsewhere and also give preventative flea medication ahead of time.
We have been taking our little, very old, deaf, and now going blind dog to Happy Tails for several years. Drop off is easy, as is pick up with early and fairly late hours. They get to know each boarder and cater to their needs. Smaller dogs, like ours, stay in Toy Town. They offer bathing services; nice to come back from vacation to a groomed pet! We will continue to entrust our furry family member to the crew at Happy Tails.
My female 9yr old Beagle Mix is very shy and skeptical. Happy Tails took excellent care of her while I left on a trip for four days. On the day of pickup my all my fears were squashed. My girl was happy. She received a bath and nail trim. The rates were excellent and they served her the dietary food I provided. We are now scheduled for another four day stay and I have every confidence my little girl will be taken care of by the best!!!!! THANK YOU HAPPY TAILS!!!! Us pet parents need places like Happy Tails to keep us at ease while we travel.
They are a very caring and clean. We are comfortable leaving our dog there.
Very good with our dogs , friendly staff
Left my 3 doggies here for a week and they loved it! MK was very responsive to all my texts and they did such a good job taking care of our babies while we were away.
This facility has been taking care of my dogs for years and I cannot recommend it enough. I travel a lot, both for work and pleasure, and don't have family in the area so it's very important to me that I have a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy facility to take care of my dogs. Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently. This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable. All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard. The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon
We had a great experience boarding our dog here for 2 weeks. You can tell the owner and workers are very sweet and really care for your pets while your away. I highly recommend this kennel!
I absolutely love Rocky Canyon Kennels! They have a beautiful facility and the staff is amazing. My dog gets excited to go stay when she does. They treat her like family. I would highly recommend this is the kennel you choose to keep your family member safe during your travels.
Seems like a nice place. I dropped my dog off for a free day of doggy day care (complimentary, nice touch), after learning that they don't socialize dogs on a first visit (was going out of town, needed care for a weekend and thought it would be possible to socialize him for the weekend after the day at day care), just to learn at drop off that they won't socialize a pit bull mix at all. Very disappointed to have a discriminatory kennel in town that seemed very nice at first. They will not have my business.
My dog is social and friendly but very attached and has moderate to severe separation anxiety so I had always avoided leaving him with strangers and especially a kennel. We left him overnight for basically 2 full days in August and again for the day in October. He loves it here! The people are all friendly and the women running the place clearly just loves dogs. If you live around here or are up for a nice weekend of wine tasting - I would highly recommend this place for you pup! Only bad part - you need to call a in advance, they seem to always be booked on the weekends, a good sign that my experience is the norm here. Cheers!
We have boarded our 3 small dogs at Rocky Kennel for five years now. They do a terrific job taking care of them. I highly recommend.
Our dog has stayed here for 6plus weeks and is very excited and happy to be there. He is an older dog and played with other older dogs. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up.
Not a customer, only a potential one who had preliminary information by calling. - Called multiple times, no answer. - Finally someone answered and said she was too busy to answer question. - Email? Not available - Website? Sure "Your application form and website give conflicting info, which one is correct?" Neither. In the end, I could not figure out what they really offered or wanted for this business. It's a 1-star review based on preliminary experienxe. Waste of time.
Great kennel. We have a blind older dog and she always gets special treatment to make her feel comfortable and safe.
There aren’t enough positive things I can say about Mark. We rescued a stray a few months back who we think spent most of his first year of life on the streets and scared. Because of this, our dog can be very reactive and we wanted to find the right trainer to work with us. Mark was super responsive (replied within minutes of me submitting the initial inquiry) and within the hour we were scheduled to drop our dog off the next day to start his 7 day program. I have never done board in training before, but Mark made more progress in 7 days with our dog than any other trainer has in the few months we’ve had our pup. He provides multiple videos daily of his trainings with your dog, which were really helpful for us because we reference them back if we ever need to as we keep up the training on our end. He spent time with us on our pickup day helping teach us everything we need to continue with the training and even continues to check in with us after we picked our dog up. Working with Mark was the best thing we did. We have a happier and more confident dog and he helped teach us some of the signs we need to be on the lookout for that might be stressful triggers for our pup. It feels great knowing we can take our dog out for walks and other activities and it’s all thanks to Mark and his training program!
My pups (Scooter 2.5 yr old male purebred Shih Tzu & BB 2-3 yr old Chihuahua mix rescued off the street)were just out of my control, running away and refusing to come when called, nipping at people , pulling on the leash and barking incessantly, generally reeking havoc in my life. I had spent a lot of money on trainers, classes and tools to help but nothing really did. Then I found Mark with DognPooch online and called him. He didn't sugar coat anything and got right to the point. I dropped them both off for a week and was just astounded at the videos he sent me daily to show their progress. I enjoyed watching him work his magic and the dogs looked like they were having a good time! It amazes me the difference in our lives now. The go anywhere off leash but stay close and always come when called. The barking stops on command and our lives are changed forever. My only regret is I didn't find him sooner. This trainer and his program are well worth every dollar I spent and I am truly forever grateful. Thanks Mark!! You are simply the BEST!👏💜
Mark, is AMAZING! Our sweet Sofie (1/2 Golden, 1/2 Aussie) is 4 months old and we were struggling to train her and especially had difficulty with her pulling and biting at the leash, jumping, nipping, and overall not listening to basic commands. Mark had her for 1 week and she came back a completely transformed puppy. We went from feeling overwhelmed to literally having the easiest puppy! She is now listening to basic commands, walks amazingly off leash, no jumping and no nipping! I really don’t know how he accomplished that in just one week of training but we couldn’t be happier. Mark, thank you so much. ❤️
I cannot speak highly enough about Mark and DognPooch! We have four young kids and got a puppy last year that quickly turned into a very large, energetic dog. One week with Mark and she walks perfectly on and off leash, has excellent manners inside, and no longer jumps when people walk in the door. The difference after one week is amazing and so impressive! Mark sent videos every day showing us her progress and teaching us the commands and techniques so we could continue them at home. It has made a huge difference in how my kids are able to interact with her and brought so much peace to our home.
Best Investment We Ever Made!! Our Staffy Woody is just under 2yrs old, a rescue, and has always been very difficult to handle. He barks constantly and jumps at people, birds and us! He’s very strong and pulls on the leash when walking. We heard about Mark from a woman at Jack Creek Winery. She had seen Woody’s behavior and said she thought Mark could help us as he had helped with her own dog. Woody spent one week with Mark and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! Mark sent videos of Woody’s progress everyday so we knew he was improving but he’s like a different dog. After we picked Woody up today we took him with us to lunch. So many of the other patrons stopped to tell us what a wonderful, well mannered dog we have. It was such as incredible and welcome experience. We would highly recommend Mark to work with anyone’s dog that needs a little, or a lot of, help to become a pleasure to live with. Bob and Donna Lundquist <> –
Okay y’all- I’ll start by saying I NEVER write reviews, but Mark’s exceptional service warrants as many stars as I can give! 5star+. If you’re considering bringing your dog to Mark for training, do not hesitate! We brought our 6 month old puppy Duke to Mark because we were feeling overwhelmed with the training process and Dukes wild ways. Positive reinforcement clicker training only worked when Duke wanted to listen but when he didn’t, we had no way of controlling him. We were worried for his safety, our kids safety, and worried friends and family wouldn’t want to come over b/c of Duke’s rude manners. He would steal our food, growl at us, jump up on everyone, climb all over us on the couch, wander into our neighbors yard and not come to us when being called, pull his leash on walks- basically it was non-stop chaos and exhausting. One week with Mark and Duke has changed in ways I thought were far off dreams. He walks by our side, no leash, and comes when called after we let him roam at the park. He lays quietly on his bed while we eat and work and only leaves when we tell him he can. He sits at the door when we open it until we say “come” (for his safety), his jumping up on people has practically stopped. Honestly, it’s night and day and I can finally breathe again. To get the most of the training, it’s super important to learn from Mark’s ways, listen to his advice, and keep up with the training after the initial week with Mark. I’ve seen first hand how doing so continues to solidify the good behavior. It just keeps getting better. Thank you so very much, Mark, for your expertise and giving Duke such superb attention!! And hugs from your boy Duke. He’s happy to be home but misses you.
We rescued a 4 month old terrier mix and he was so smart! From experience I didn’t want to start teaching him “bad habits” so I reached out to mark and got cooper in right away. The ecollar training blew my mind. It’s like an invisible leash. When cooper came home the stress of him running off was no longer there. I plan to continue working with mark in the future! Thanks for a great start of our relationship with our new family member!
My 3 year-old, Boston terrier named Champ is a great dog. Like all dogs he had some flaws. He would pull hard on the leash while on walks, take off if I left him off leash on my front yard and stand off while walking past dogs. Champ was left behind at home from many family outings because of his behavior. I searched for a local dog trainer and found Mark. Mark worked with him for 1 week and what a difference it has made. Mark sent daily updates of Champ while at the park, on walks or socializing with other dogs. I am happy to share we now enjoy taking Champ on daily (sometimes twice a day) walks, hikes and to the park. We plan on staying consistent with what he’s been trained to do and what we have learned so we can bring him on outings this summer and enjoy more time outdoors. Thanks for your help Mark!
Mark was so awesome with my year old Aussie/Lab mix! He would always lunge on the leash, bark at strangers & other dogs. Just 2 days of Royce being w/ Mark I noticed incredible progress! Royce ended up staying w/ Mark for the 2 week program! I got him back 3 days ago & he’s a changed dog! Mark is amazing!
Our girl Rui is a 3-year-old Shiba Inu. She's sweet and knows every basic obedience command, but she loves chasing any flying object or animal to the point where I could be holding a piece of steak, swamped and drooled over by other dogs, and she would still be at the far end of the park. Previously, she went through a ton of training, but nothing seemed to shape her behavior or decision-making. During our training sessions, she would follow the command, take the treat, spit out the treat, and look at me as if to say, "Can I go play now?" A small dog with a big attitude! The worst part was that she was able to fool trainers into thinking she was ready to go, leaving me feeling as though if the training didn’t stick, it was the owner’s problem. Now it’s been about two months since we got Rui back from Mark. The reviews mentioning "a changed dog" are true. She heels much better and checks in more frequently during our walks. She even asks for permission before going after birds (no animals were harmed). The change in her mentality is reflected in her behavior. We’re really grateful to Mark because now we can walk Rui off-leash, and she gets the freedom she’s always wanted. If you baby your dog or can’t be a disciplined and consistent trainer for them, leave it to the expert. P.S. We found Mark and signed up for board-and-train because we had to be out of town for two weeks. We had no expectations for the "train" part of the deal due to previous experiences, but Mark really delivered. He sent videos multiple times a day, which provided great reassurance that our baby was okay and showed progress. The end result was just unreal.
Five Stars ✨ for Springdale Pet Ranch!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Springdale Pet Ranch! My dog, Starlight, absolutely loves his time there, whether it's for daycare or boarding. Every time I pick him up, he's happy, tired, and full of fun. It's clear he's had a blast with all the activities and attention from the staff. The facility is top-notch, and the team there truly cares about the pets. I feel completely confident leaving Starlight in their hands, knowing he'll be safe, well-cared for, and most importantly, enjoying himself to the fullest. I recommend Springdale Pet Ranch to everyone I meet at the dog park and the beach. There's no other place I would consider for my boy Star—it's simply the best!
Doctor Who and I love springdale pet ranch. The staff is wonderful and very kind. I feel comfortable leaving her there for the day or for boarding. Doctor Who enjoys playing in the yards with friends and hanging with the staff. I feel pricing is reasonable.
My pup Pierre has been going to Springdale Pet Ranch for almost 2 years and I highly recommend them! Pierre goes to daycare 5 days a week and has boarded twice at SPR, most recently last week for 5 days/nights. The staff is highly trained and really understand dogs and take such good care of our fur babies. They are really friendly and helpful and truly love the dogs. They take the time to get to know each dog and their personalities, and will discuss any concerns or issues that might arise with your pet.There are different packages available for both boarding and daycare, so you can customize your pet’s experience to meet your needs and budget. SPR has obedience training during which they teach your pet basic commands and manners, which is great especially if you’re a first time pet owner. They have treadmill sessions where your dog is supervised walking on a pet treadmill—great exercise and also good mental stimulation for your dog. They also have bike training sessions where your dog runs alongside a trainer riding a bike. There are enhanced daycare packages where you will get a report card with photos of your pup enjoying his time playing with other dogs in his group and also getting one on one time with trainers. Dogs are put in groups with other dogs of similar size and temperament, and they have supervised play sessions with the trainers. SPR has recently added grooming services so you can schedule a bath or nail trim during your regular daycare session, at a reasonable price. Pierre is always so excited to go play each day, and he’s tired when he gets home. I love SPR and enthusiastically recommend them for both daycare and boarding!
We are huge fans of Springdale. We use them both for boarding and daycare for our fur baby Coco. She's always excited to go and we know she will be well taken care of. When we travel I look forward to getting her report cards because she always looks so happy. All the staff members have been super friendly both in person and over the phone. Thanks for all you do.
I can’t say enough about Springdale - the facility is remarkable - spotless and utterly pristine. Everyone who works there is delightful. They send the best photos every day of Wilson playing with his dog friends (I actually keep a ton of them!) and the cutest selfies with his human friends along with daily report cards, which are personal and detailed and honest about how he is doing. We look forward to them every day while we are traveling! Thank you for keeping our boy safe and happy when we go away. We are SO grateful! - Yvette & Fred
Professional staff. Caring attitudes. Competent and compassionate. Personally, Springdale Pet Ranch, reaches beyond just a business. Their a beacon of hope for any K9 owner who wants the best results -- a disciplined, loyal, and friendly dog. Thanks Jack and Springdale Pet Ranch staff for being 'there' after my wife's recent scheduled surgery in Southern California. Lucy was just three weeks out of the Santa Maria Animal Shelter. Thank you for your professionalism and five star care!
I absolutely love Springdale. Since I travel for work, I’ve had to use different daycare places, but Springdale is my dog’s home. She did a board and train and goes weekly right now. The staff are so incredibly patient and sweet and Jack is really knowledgeable and helpful. My dog sometimes struggles with other dogs and they have ALWAYS accommodated her and tailor her time to make her a better dog. Truly a gem of a business and animal care provider.
Tiago enjoys his time at Springdale pet ranch. Whenever I have to leave him here, I feel at ease knowing he will be well taken care of. I am truly grateful for the friendly and attentive staff!
Springdale pet Ranch is the best place to take your pet, hands-down. My dog loves this place so much, she always has so much fun and when we drop her off, she is so excited to see everyone and go play. I love getting her “report cards” when we go on vacation, they always make it easier for me, seeing how much fun she’s having at Springdale. I also have to mention the fantastic job the groomer does on bathing my dog. She’s always clean and fluffy and perfect when I pick her up. I truly love this place for my pet. Thank you Springdale!
My sister has her pup at this daycare. I got to visit her and this location recently. I love how they play with him and now they have agility training. He has way too much energy and they help get his ya-yas out. They know each dog and are really caring about their welfare. They have different areas for different size dogs and activities. Great place!
UPDATE: It has been over a month and the drama continues. The owner initially refused to respond to requests despite them having my house key for a month without my consent. Whenever she responds she accuses me of harassment. She has tried to dodge all responsibility for losing my house key, even claiming I signed an agreement where Posh Pets is not responsible for any keys they lose. I requested the reference (as I have missed paragraphs in the past, it was possible I missed it now). She seemed pretty happy to do so. Honestly, so was I, so I could close this drama out and block all associated contact information. However, when I checked my phone after work, I found I was yet again being accussed of being too emotional and committing harassment...all because I am not, as far as I can tell, acquiescing to her demands. ORIGINAL: Very unprofessional. I'm absolutely floored by this experience. Multiple states and countries using pet sitters and have never experienced this. I should have known but I ignored the red flags. Over an hour late for the first meeting with no notification. Told I would get photos/touch points (my words) every visit. [I was told at the end this is not a guarantee and she didn't know who told me that....]. Had to constantly ask for pics during every trip. This was how I discovered they forgot to feed my cats one day- was never refunded but it drove me to get some auto feeders so they would at least have dry food if forgotten again (silver lining). But then they weren't sure if they missed the day or not. The icing was three days before leaving on a work trip, they can't get in the safe to get my house key and, apparently, it is MY problem to solve. I found this out at 8:30pm. After confronting them with their unprofessionalism, my service was cancelled, and oh...I can't get my only spare key back for a couple weeks (I rent so I can't go making random keys). This is after my upcoming work trip. Great position to put my cats and me in. Appreciate it. I will say they did dig out some litter from some boxes when I first moved to the area, was sent on a one week work trip immediately, and thought one bag would work since I had recently purchased a litter robot. So according to PPS, because I made that mistake, it's okay for their unprofessionalism.
Last year I purchase my first wire hair mini Doxy and I knew they needed special grooming. The breeder recommended Ashley and she is the best groomer I’ve ever used!!! She’s very well educated and knows how to handle all coat types. She spent the first visit acclimating my dog to being “stripped”. I also appreciate that she’s very honest about what the grooming involves and what to expect. We just had his 3rd grooming with her and he got his big boy wire hair doxy look!!! I can’t thank Ashley enough for all she does, how much care she gives to my dog, and how beautiful she grooms him.
BEST place to take your dog! Ashley the owner and groomer was incredible with my dog! My pup can be very shy and timid - especially without me - so, I was beyond happy when I came to pick him up he was wagging his tail, completely comfortable in the environment. She groomed him perfectly! Shaving him in all the right places where he gets stickers and dread locks, clipped his nails and made him shiny soft. Such a great price too! If I could give more stars I would! Bring your dog here if you want a professional groom in a safe, happy and nurturing environment - you will be happy - and your dog will be happy you did.
I am so happy to have found Ashley and All About Dogs!!! Ashley has the perfect set up, grooming and day care. I have two Pekingese, Juliet is blind about 15 years old, Romeo is about 9 years old. Ashley knows dogs and they love her. Juliet has difficulty in new surroundings and gets stressed easily. Ashely takes great care of Juliet on her grooming days. Romeo has never enjoyed getting groomed until we met Ashley. He loves going to see Ashley. Romeo gets to play before he gets groomed. This is perfect for him. Romeo is now a regular at day care! He has been going once a week since the beginning of the year and I have noticed his confidence level has risen a great deal. He loves to see his friends at day care. We are grateful for Ashley and Nick!!!
We love Ashley. She is perfect for our Puppy Boomer who goes right into her arms when we arrive. And we are always happy with the trim and her communication is excellent.
I have a reactive dog that was very matted. Ashley took her time and showed love and patience to my dog and gave him a beautiful cut without needing drugs or a muzzle. I was shocked he let her do it. She is experienced and loving to dogs. My dog really liked her. I'll go back to her again and again. I was so impressed.
My dogs have been going to all about dogs for over 2 years. They are actually happy to see Ashley. She has such a kind way with them. Best groomer ever. I highly recommend all about dogs.
Only place that knows how to groom a Golden Retriver WITHOUT cutting their UNDERCOAT!! My dog was so scared to go to her last groomer! Not with Miss. Ashley. She loved it and came out actually looking like a Golden! 10 outta 10 would recommend!
Hi: I took my dog, Meg, to All About Dogs for the first time this week. She had a bath and Clip which was a "sheder" and I was so very pleased with everything. Ashley was so good with my Meg. I will DEFINITELY return with Meg. I am so happy to have found Ashley and All About Dogs. Margie
Storm loves seeing Ashley for a nail trim 🥰 She handles big nervous dogs with no problem at super reasonable prices! …
Ashley loves dogs and is like the dog whisper, they love her and she connects so well with them. The ranch is like doggie heaven, it allows dogs to run as they should and play with other dogs. You can see smiles on them.
Our 6 lb. Yorkshire Terrier loved spending the day at Susan’s Bed and Bisquits. We were traveling through the area and needed the afternoon to visit a senior friend and be out and about. I highly recommend Susan’s.
My dog and I love Susan's Bed and Biscuit. Susan takes such good care of my dog, and I trust her fully with my guy. I have been going there for 7 years now and love it.
First time boarding our puppy, I will never go anywhere else! Susan has a great facility, and clearly loves the "guests" in her care. ✓ Clean facility ✓ 4 separate sections for small/large dogs ✓ Responsive communications ✓ Misters and indoor/outdoor access when hot ✓ Daily treats and individual attention ✓ Very reasonable rates ✓ Easy drop off/pick up ✓ Even sent daily video of my pup playing and happy This is the kind of business that makes you want to give them your money!!
Susan did a great job dog sitting our dog for 9 days. She sent updates and introduced new did to current visitors over by one. She has much dog experience and it it shows. Our dog had a great time there.
Susan's bed and biscuit is a wonderful kennel to babysit your dog. Susan is very loving and caring to your dog and even sent me videos of my dog having a great time. I highly reccommend.
Took our dog here when we went to Pismo and wine tasting for the weekend. She was very friendly and sent us picture updates of our dog while she was watching her. I will definitely use this place again
Susan is great and our dog loves it there. Would highly recommend!!
We Love Susan's. Very personal and caring about our dog Roxie
Great lady take care of our dog very well
My dog was treated just like she was at home! Thank you Susan!
