Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!

We couldn’t be happier with our Harley’s cut. He is not the most cooperative when getting groomed and the ladies here know how to handle him. The facilities are so nice and clean. 100% recommend.
Beautiful pictures and marketing, it looks great! On the other hand, living next to this place is an absolute nightmare, and that's saying it nicely. These dogs bark, wine, screach, and howl consistently all night long. It sounds like a property of anxiety, anxiety, and anxiety. It's mind-blowing how these humans on this property are able to sleep at night with these dogs yelping and echoing all night long. It's enough to drive somebody crazy. I feel sorry for the dogs that just want to sleep at night.
Proceed with caution in leaving your pets at this boarding facility. If you value a place where they take care of the employees, good ethics, and a safe environment, you will need to go somewhere better. This is first-hand experience. They discriminate against employees with disabilities. Passive aggressive responses and no accountability. There is a serious lack of communication, which then results in chaos when emergencies arise. The staff works hard to please the customers and the pets, but the owners do not support them and rather berate them. The employees are overworked and undertrained. The facility is run without proper training, especially when it comes to dog attacks or dog fights. If you are considering boarding your cat, please do not. The owner has thrown items at cats she thought were "vicious" so she can exist the boarding area. There have been many times when cats had no water prior to a shift. They will pretend like they care, but it’s not the truth. The only goal is to be the most profitable in the area, even if that means risking the health and safety of staff and animals.
Our muttsky loves it here. We've been daycare customers for about two years, with visits a once or twice per week. Their drop in policy is very accommodating. Our dog gets lots of exercise with compatible dog friends and comes home clean, frisky and (importantly) tired. We've had good experiences with the grooming and kenneling as well. We always recommend Creekside for doggy day care.
The Staff is great, very attentive understanding and always takes care of my Pup! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Apollo who is 14 years old tried their Dog Grooming Service today. He's so happy, he likes Amanda alot. He's clean, smells soogood, and wags his tail alot.
I would give 0 stars if I could. This place changed my dog forever. Me and my dog are still scarred from this experience from Creekside. I started to notice he was extremely anxious when I picked him up, he was super desperate to jump in the car. He was between 4-7 months old. After a week I started to notice burns on his feet and neck. I knew they were shocking him and putting a shock collar on him. They never talked to me about any behaviors or asked if they could put a shock collar on him. When I went to complain they said he was being rowdy and was barking a lot and was stirring up the other dogs. Creekside admitted they used a shocking device on my dog. They also mentioned that the owners were having marital issues and that the one that kept the boarding place was having "depression" problems. I don't care, I don't know how this was relevant. I was paying for a service to have my dog watched, not be abused. He was a puppy dog - he is supposed to be energetic. To this day, he doesn't trust strangers and I have to be super aware of where I take him. He hasn't been the same ever since. I didn't take him back even though I still had a week paid left. I have pictures of his burns that I will upload once I find them. Also my friend had a bad experience at this place as well. Do not trust them with your beloved pets!
Wonderful place to board your dogs! The staff really cares about making my pup comfortable, and he always comes home happy and safe. Highly recommended if you are taking a vacation and want to make sure your dog is safe and well cared for. I can't recommend them enough!!! I trust Creekside!
I dropped off my dog here for a weeklong vacation and the staff were so kind and helpful. They helped alleviate any fears and offered to send my kiddos text picture updates to show my dog was doing okay. I would recommend this place to anyone!
They did a great job of taking care of our dogs. I appreciate that they got play time with other dogs
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!
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!
We were very happy we found Lucky Dog Pet Resort. We were on a long trip and able to bring our dog on most of it, but we had to find a place for him for two nights. All the boarding facilities we'd used before required a trial daycare run before booking any over night stays, but Lucky Dog let us just bring him in and treated him great. They don't take drop offs mid day, we almost missed the morning window, so be sure to plan around that.
I recently got a dog and then shortly afterwards needed to go to LA. These guys were highly reviewed so I called them to book an overnight stay. They require a a trial day (at no charge) to see if my dog could handle being boarded. My dog (especially when I first got him) doesn’t like being left alone. I paid extra for walks during the day. At every step of the way I was impressed with Lucky Dog Pet Resort and I have since taken him here for days that I need to. It is scary to trust someone with my special guy and these kind folks honored my trust.
I boarded my dog here for about 9 days while I was on vacation. The first day as a trial day went well the staff seemed friendly and things went fine. I was explained this would be free and what the cost per day to board would be. I scheduled the time and the day I dropped her off the staff who now seemed to be distracted talking by her co worker while checking me in instead of asking me to wait while she assisted her would ask me if I wanted play time and then continue her conversation with the co worker. This was my first time boarding her so I just said yes to play time and pool time thinking this was included. I was facing the wall on the right hand side where the computers were not behind a desk and the staff member did not communicate to me that these would be an extra charge. After the very cluttered interaction I left and my spouse told me to double check we would not be charged extra. I called and was then informed that it is 15$ for 15 minutes of play and around 40$ for a pool day. This information should be relayed to the customer at the time of discussion. When I told the woman on the phone this was never brought to my attention her response was “oh you should have gotten some paperwork with pricing.” I let her know I had received no paperwork at all. This was extremely unorganized, unprofessional and careless. It made me very nervous about my dogs stay there but I had already started to leave the state and could not make other arrangements. I picked her up and she seemed to be okay but then she ended up getting sick. At about the same time I received an email saying their facility had kennel cough. This experience was extremely disappointing and I will not be taking my dog there or recommending this place. It’s clearly minimum wage staff who do not prioritize animals.
My dog Loves it there! Just wish there was online cameras to watch him sometimes. Everyone is super nice!
My experience here with my two pups have been pleasant! They gave me a tour of the facility, explained all of the services they offer, and also discussed potential symptoms of my pups having a hard time adjusting to a new environment (blood in stool, hunger strike, etc) You can also pay for yard time, cuddle time, walk time and the pictures are posted on their Facebook page. It helps me feel better about being away from my pups and knowing that they are receiving human/dog socialization, interaction and attention instead of being stuck in the dog run all day. I can call anytime of the day to get an update on how my pups are doing/adjusting and they are flexible pick up/drop off times for your early morning trips or late evening pick ups. I also like that their dog runs have an indoor/outdoor feature with a heater. Their communication skill is perfect & I enjoy coming here and definitely recommend to others looking for a doggy daycare
A home away from home for our boy. Lucky Dog provides good safe and clean care. With plenty of play time with other doggie friends. IWe give Lucky Dog 5 Stars
I know my dog is in good hands at Lucky Dog. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the check in process is a breeze. I never have to worry when I drop my pets off.
We love Lucky Dog! We have been taking our dogs here for since they opened around 15 years ago in their current location. The staff is outstanding and our dogs are always excited to go. They are awesome for grooming, boarding and offer many great activities. Always feel great with their care for our dogs!
My dog loves daycare days and yard time with resort staff. Extended pick-up and drop-off times allow me to work without worrying. We are so lucky this business exists!
My dog truly enjoys her visit. Staff are very helpful with the checking in process. The pool parties are fun.
Lola joined our family through a temporary foster arrangement and instantly bonded with me, never leaving my side. I walked her, fed her, and spent time with her. When her original owner realized she couldn't provide Lola with the needed attention and surroundings for her physical and mental health, she made the selfless decision to give Lola to me. I love Lola deeply. When she first arrived, she was anxious and fearful of other adults, staying close to me while being skittish around my husband and son. Lola didn't know how to interact with other dogs and was even afraid of toys like frisbees, squeaky toys, and stuffed animals. She didn't know how to play. I learned about Love Dogs Camp through a friend. After seeing the impressive progress my friend’s dog was making, I wanted Lola to have the same positive experience. I felt confident in trusting Love Dogs Camp and Carolyn with Lola. Since joining Love Dogs Camp, Lola has truly blossomed. She is now comfortable with other adults, often approaching them to say hello. She plays with other dogs and eagerly seeks out playtime. The daycare program's focus on socialization has allowed Lola to come out of her shell and I am thrilled with her transformation into a happier and more well balanced individual. I greatly appreciate how Carolyn and her team check in on Lola's progress at home and provide updates on her behavior at daycare. It feels just like picking up my child from daycare. Love Dogs Camp is very welcoming, supportive, and fun for Lola. Paula Scott
Our fur baby Obi-Wan has been going to Love Dogs Camp for daycare for the past 2.5 years and he loves it there! He wears an activity tracker and gets much more activity there than at other doggie daycare places that we tried. He comes home happy and tired, ready for a long nap! This routine was very helpful during the stressful postpartum period when I was unable to take him on our daily walks. Getting used to having a human baby in the house was challenging for all of us, but going to camp twice a week really helped him. It gave him a chance to get out of the house and go to somewhere familiar and comfortable, get some good exercise and loving attention from the staff. He always came home more relaxed and better able to handle the changing circumstances. We didn’t have any behavioral issues with him after the baby came home and I know it is because of Love Dogs Camp! I recommend that all parents-to-be get their dogs into a good daycare routine before bringing a new baby home. And having the peace of mind that our dog had somewhere safe and comfortable to go while we were in the hospital was priceless. My husband was able to stay with me the entire 4 days we were in the hospital, and we came home to a relaxed and happy dog who was eager to meet his little brother!
Hoshi has been a regular at Loves Dog Camp doggy daycare for over a year. He needed more exercise, socialization, and playtime with other dogs than we could provide at home. Hoshi is always thrilled to go. Hoshi has made many friends and loves playing with other dogs. He has a special bond with the team at Love Dogs Camp. He is thrilled Carolyn comes to greet him. It's heartwarming to see. Love, Fun, and Kindness best describe Love Dogs Camp. They genuinely care about the wellbeing of the dogs and their families. Love Dogs Camp has exceeded all of our expectations. Lisa Ramirez
Home Away From Home... Love Dogs Camp has made a big difference with our dog, Pugsley, since we moved to the area 6 years ago. He was rescued from the streets of San Jose at the age of 1. Before moving to Nipomo, we researched and visited many places offering daycare and boarding, but Carolyn at Love Dogs Camp gave us the most confidence. It offers Pugsley a great environment with no kennels, freedom to roam on 5 acres and the ability to socialize with both big and small dogs. Carolyn has a wonderful trainer - Brett - who's very knowledgeable about dog behavior and nutrition and helped Pugsley become less fearful of other dogs. Supervision is a priority and he is never left alone. Carolyn does a great job vetting new dogs and their owners to ensure compatibility with her existing clientele. She also provides healthy home cooked meals for the dogs at least once a day. Whether it's for just a day or a couple of weeks for vacation, we have no concern bringing Pugsley to Love Dogs Camp. It's his home away from home.
I bring both of my dogs to Love Dogs Camp for the past 6 months or so 3x a week and they absolutely LOVE it! They come home tired and happy everyday they go and sometimes don’t even want to leave can you believe it! I have 2 young very active dogs and the time they have spent at love dogs camp has helped tremendously with not just their physical enrichment but mental as well they are very well socialized and get along great with new dogs! I would recommend this facility as Carolyn cares so deeply for dogs and all of her staff share that same love for these wonderful doggies!!! Thank you love dogs camp!
Arlo, a two-year-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, was my granddaughter's dog. When she moved away, Arlo suffered from extreme anxiety. He wouldn't enter the house or walk on a leash. I searched for dog care services nearby, but no one was willing to take him. Some even suggested putting him down, which I couldn't fathom. Fortunately, I found Love Dogs Camp during my internet search. Carolyn met with me to understand Arlo's situation, and we decided to enroll him in their Board and Train program for accelerated training and socialization. After three weeks, Arlo was transformed. He developed a close bond with Brett, the dog trainer. Arlo started listening and following directions, stopped jumping, and for the first time, socialized with other dogs. He became calm, happy, and even appeared to be smiling. Love Dogs Camp helped Arlo build confidence and recover from his anxiety. Love Dogs Camp is the best place for any dog. Brett takes the time to understand each dog and works patiently with them, no matter what. The Board and Train program gave Arlo the comprehensive care and training he needed, every day. Robin W.
Carolyn and her staff are extended family to us. They have done so much to help raise and train our dog to be a sociable and loyal companion. She loves playing with all sizes of friends and we get thorough reports from the staff when we pick her up. Whether you’re new puppy parents like us or seasoned dog owners, this place will always communicate and strive to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog(s).
You know when you want to take your dog to the dog park, but you’re wary because you don’t know what kind of dogs will be there or how they’ll behave? Let’s face it; not all dog owners are conscientious dog owners. Maybe they just let their dogs loose, and then sit down and look at their phone. Carolyn Leighton might have thought about just this when she wanted to create a place for dogs monitored only by people who know and love dogs. I was lucky enough to reach Carolyn as the first person on the list I’d taken down from the internet. We had just lost a dog with behavioral issues and wanted to make sure we started off on the right foot with our new miniature Dachshund, Maverick. She spent a long time talking with me about what I was looking for, what type of dog I had, what my experiences had been so far, and more. I know now that it’s important to her to really know her clients, because when you really know your client, you will know something about their dog. Hidden among the unpaved backroads of Arroyo Grande is a place called Love Dogs Camp: acreage where the dogs can run and play together, watched and constantly related to by professional dog trainers. As the dogs interact, behaviors can be noted and corrected on the spot. Play is geared not only toward using energy, but also toward learning. During a six-hour session, the dogs play and learn, have lunch together, and then kick back and relax. No crates, no isolation! Since learning about their meals of real food, I have started feeding Maverick differently at home, too: unseasoned chicken, potato, rice, carrots, or apple might be chopped up into his kibble. When I pick Maverick up at the end of the day, Brett tells me about the activities of the day, and I take home lessons that I can practice at home. I’ve learned housetraining tips, how to stop Maverick from “marking” indoors, how to handle the evening “zoomies” when I’m exhausted from my day, and how to work with walking Maverick on leash. Knowing that my dog is being happily and lovingly taken care of, not isolated in a crate for hours at a time, allows me to manage the rest of my life and home and even have some time for myself to engage in community activities like my book club and hiking group. I can go grocery shopping without concern about leaving my dog unattended. At the end of the day, little Maverick comes home relaxed and content, and I have a dog that integrates seamlessly into my home life.
I have brought my dogs, Deiter and Maya, to Love Dogs Camp for more than eight years. Love Dogs Camp is truly special. Carolyn and her team are passionate about the wellbeing of dogs, and they engage Deiter and Maya based on their unique personalities. The Staff closely monitors the dogs, and the environment is safe. They do not spend their time in kennels. I never worry when Deiter and Maya are in their care. I use daycare, grooming, and boarding services at Love Dogs Camp. Deiter and Maya attend daycare twice per week. They get unstructured running and digging and playtime with other dogs while at camp and enjoy Carolyn’s special lunches. I am not able to do this for them at home. I credit their time at camp with their manners and ability to interact with dogs of all sizes and personalities. It’s very convenient for me to have them groomed and bathed during their daycare. I have needed to board Deiter and Maya – sometimes for extended periods of time. It is a relief to know I can leave them in a safe place they know and enjoy. Maya and Deiter love going to Love Dogs Camp, and it is now part of their routine.
We are new to LDC but a great experience so far. While more expensive than other daycares, it is worth it for our pup to be playing all day, cage free and with plenty of space to run. He is excited to go and loves the staff. He comes home tired from a day playing with friends!
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
