Dog Sitters in Rector, CA

I brought my very spoiled rabbit to VIP & they kept her in an air conditioning area, where she was kept very well. I highly recommend VIP to care for any of my pets! 💯 % happy with their services. Thank you …

This place is the absolute BEST!!!!!! Every time we leave our “Gracie Lou” there when going on vacation, she comes back as happy and as healthy as can be. The staff is as awesome at taking care of the pets needs as well as the “fur parents” that drop em off! We’re very protective over our little Princess, and wouldn’t dream of ever taking her anywhere else to be cared for, neither should you! I actually wish that I was born with an extra set of hands, so I could give this place 4 Thumbs up!!!!!!! 👍❤️👍

Amazing staff and place. My dog has been going here for the last couple of months when I’m out of town for work or a weekend trip. She’s always returned healthy and exhausted the day of pick up

The only place I trust with our German Shepherd. They take great care of him every time and even got him to be around other dogs (which he's not so great with). We are so appreciative of the friendly staff and everything they do. We tried another boarding place during the holidays because VIP was booked and noticed a huge difference. VIP is the best place to care for your animal family while you're away. 100% recommend VIP.

Excellent !! The staff is friendly the facility is clean all of the dogs looked well cared for my English Bulldog is my baby and she was well taken care of ! Now when I am out of town I don’t have to worry because VIP pet is a clean, safe, and loving place ! Thank You VIP ! I will continue to utilize you !

Elizabeth & her staff are absolutely amazing! They make me and my pets feel like family. My dog and kitty love staying here and they behave better for them then at home! I wouldn’t board my pets anywhere else! Highly recommended! 😃 …

They take great care of our shy/anxious dogs - they were able develop trust with our German shepherd who has separation anxiety & doesn't trust people easily & he's always so excited to go see his friends here! Very kind people that care about the animals a lot, I never worry about leaving my dogs here - this is the best place in the area!

I took my 7 month old cat to this kennel. (I have never had to use a kennel prior to this) I read the reviews and decided to book with them. From the beginning they were very responsive making sure she was up to date on shots etc. When I went to drop her off I was so nervous but when I got there I saw nothing but calm happy animals. The cat area only had one other cat and my cat and her bonded right away. I left there feeling good about my decision. When I picked her up she started meowing she didn’t want to leave! I also was able to text and check in on her. I highly recommend! Thank you VIP, I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my kitty was in good hands. 😻😻

Stella always come home happy! I love that we are encouraged to call and check on her while she's there. Staff is awesome!

This is the first boarding location I have ever used & will never use another as long as they still exist! My dog has been there for three different extended stays now & most of the time she's having so much fun she doesn't really seem to care about coming home :) She had been attacked by another dog (NOT here!) prior to her first stay here & had been apprehensive around other dogs after that. I was nervous how she would react when I brought her here the first time. I explained her situation to the owner who knew just how to handle it & found her a perfect group to socialize with. Now she has regular friends there when she visits! I don't ever worry for a second while she's there. They also wash the bedding before sending her home! Such a relief to have found this place.

Love this place! We left all 3 of our fur babies 2 - dogs and a cat. They of course were happy to see us, but they were well taken care of! My new home away from home for these three! Shirley was knowledgeable about their needs and the facility was great!

My first experience as well as my dog's first boarding. Even though my beloved dog turns out to jump fences, the staff are lovely and I recommend the facility without reserve. I visited several and this one is clean and calm.

This was the first time that we have ever boarded one of our animals and it was a great experience. What helped reassure us, was the fact that they are very strict on being up to date on all shots and flea/tick medications. They also are very strict with cleaning everything daily. This gives you the peace of mind that your dog will not come home sick. There is also a lot of room for the dogs to play and interact. We will definitely be using Best Friends Inn again.

Dependable and Trustworthy kennel that we have been using for the last 5 years. We have two large dogs and Shirley and her team can handle them safely and competently. There's a large space for dogs to roam and even a doggy pool. Every 2 hours the dogs get to go outside. Shirley is very thorough with requiring vaccination records and flea and tick control and my dogs always return home healthy. Thank you, Shirley and the team.

Shirley is THE BEST. I have been using her for 8 years now. What I love most is when we go to drop off our dogs, they are always excited to go, never afraid. They claw to get out of the car to see her.

Your best friends inn has been our go to for our fur baby Toby for the last almost year now. They are absolutely wonderful and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Our little guy stayed for about two month due to my husband and I relocating overseas and they took the best care of him and helped us tremendously with anything we needed for him until it was time for him to come with us. It is such a friendly, warm environment for you and your pet as soon as you pull up. Highly recommend.

Our dog loves it there. Very professional and safe. The fact that our dog gets excited, wags it tail and greets the people working there speaks volumes. Our dog is very social and is provided quite a bit of time playing with other dogs when she is there.

When I dropped off my dog, I did not believe that this establishment was too bad. I wasn’t welcomed back to see where my dog would be sleeping but Shirley appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy. Key word: appeared. My dog was there November 2017 for four nights. She sent pictures on a couple of days but I was never notified that things were a concern. However when I went to pick up my pet, I was told he did well except at night. She told me he barked too much at night and in her words “kept the whole kennel up” so she had to use a training collar on him. I inquired as to what that was. She told me it was a collar that made a high pitched noise every time he barked but in her words “he was too sensitive for that one” and began to bite at it. He was too sensitive for that one so she tried another one. The next type of collar she used was the shock method so she would manually control it by zapping him every time he barked. She said that one “worked much better.” I was stunned when she told me this. She did not call to ask permission nor did I sign anything prior giving my permission to use such a device. Somebody who works with animals all day and has made that her career should know that shocking our animals when we have entrusted them to her care is nothing more than animal abuse.

We found Shirley and her Best Friends Inn after relocating to Three Rivers. This is the best home away from home for any pet. Shirley and her Staff treat our little Dog (Child) Tootsie like one of their own. When we ask Tootsie if she wants to go and have a play day at the doggie motel she gets so excited and follows us around until we get into the truck to take her. Tootsie is a long hair Chihuahua that is a one woman dog, until she meet Shirley, now Tootsie has two Mamas. Best Friends Inn is more than just a boarding facilities, we are able to a vacation and not worry about the care our Tootsie is receiving. Not only do they have play time put also get to swim when the weather is right. When we pick up Tootsie she is just as happy as when we dropped her off, even after being gone two weeks. After we get home Tootsie has to rest awhile from all the fun she had but is always ready to go back and stay again. Thanks Shirley and Staff Steve & Shirley S.

A great place!! I take my cat all the time. Shirley is caring and on top of the needs of your best friend!

I cannot say enough good thing things Happy Tails Pet Resort! We boarded our Saint Bernard for 7 days. Jessica and Karin sent me pictures every day. The facility is the cleanest I have seen. I definitely recommend Happy Tails for any boarding needs!

Kira stayed here for three days while my husband and I went to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. At arriving you could see the kennels where the dogs slept and some of the yards where the dogs play. They sent me a daily picture and a short update on how she was doing. We felt our dog was well taken care of and definitely recommend this place.

They do an excellent job, they sent me pictures every day updating me on his stay. Highly recommend, great people.

Thank you Happy Tails Staff! Took our Maltipoo here for the first time while leaving out of state. We were a little nervous and so was our dog as we don’t separate too often, but we were very pleased with her stay. We got daily updates & pics and she was well taken care, which put us at ease. A lot of love goes into this place and even more love is shown to pets who stay here. It’s comforting to know your dog is in a safe environment and at affordable prices. We plan to return here again in the future.

Our dogs were there for 11 days, we got photo updates almost every day. The facility is nice and clean, staff is friendly and you can see their love for animals.. When we got back our dogs had been groomed and looked very well taken care of. One of our Queenslands is usually not friendly to strangers. For her to be playful and happy with the staff,, speaks volumes to the care she received. Will definitely use them again, thanks so much for the care our Fur Babies received!

This is our first place leaving our dog and we were so impressed. It’s a very clean and well cared for area that have workers who have a passion for animals. I feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog here knowing that he will be taken care of. I absolutely love the fact they send text messages with updates and photos of our dog as we are away, it brings a lot of peace. We will always be using their services forever!

Last minute booking and drop off last Friday for a weekend snow getaway. We received a daily picture of our Dog Rocky and we're very glad to see him happy. Our dog is not very good with strangers but he looked great and settled that made our trip much more comfortable. Thank you Elizabeth for a great service. Highly recommended!

I found Happy Tails last year when I waited too long to make reservations during the holidays at our normal pet boarding spot and I'm so happy I did. Happy Tails is now our pet boarding spot of choice. It is located out in the country on an idyllic farm. My dogs (one big, one small) stay together in one kennel that has both indoor and outdoor access. The indoor part of the kennel is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, so I know they are comfortable (which is especially important because the little one is hairless). There is so much grass and happily grazing cows that I feel like I'm dropping my dogs off for a vacation of their own (which reduces the guilt of leaving them behind). The owner is extremely accommodating and does not charge extra if you want to bring your own food. She cares more about the dogs not getting sick by switching food. I am so happy we discovered this gem of a place and I know my dogs are too! I highly recommend this place!

Our little ♥ Australian Shepard loved her visit! What a great time she had. We got a daily photo and updates on how she was doing. Wonderful experience! Thank you so much for everything!

Always feel good about leaving my dog. I love getting pictures of dog while he is there.

This is just a case of false advertising. The website makes Christensen Dog Ranch sound like a top of the line facility where dogs will not only be well-housed, but receive lots of play time and recreation. In fact, there is just a barn with kennels (I can't be sure the state of the cages because we weren't permitted to see inside the barn so I’m not sure how other reviewers did) which appears to be kept dark, and the yard seems to be mostly unkempt. I was disappointed to learn that there is only someone there from 8-10, and again from 4-6. The rest of the time the dogs are kept in the barn. I can't be sure but I didn't see an AC unit on the building. When I tried to contact the ranch to make sure they had our dog's feeding instructions, I never received a response. The one employee I met was very sweet and reassuring, but the few times I called I was never able to get anyone on the phone. I also paid for a walk each day and there's no way of knowing if that happened. Just not a good experience, kind of a depressing place overall.

I would recommend this place 10 times over any other place. First for starters I dropped my dog off it was the spur of the moment thing and they were able to take me in. Jade, the young lady that helped us out I told her I wasn't very Techy so because she was telling me to do it online, she helped me through every step of the way very helpful. Also it was a very clean well maintained facility. I love the atmosphere my dog came home in great spirits. Again I say I would highly recommend it.

They took good care of my pooch for over a week while on vacation. Pups have a lot of space on the ranch to run around and enjoy indoor kennels at night. Our pup almost didn't want to leave when we picked her up. It was like a vacation for her, too! We will definitely be back.

We boarded our 3-year-old lab for the day while hitting the trails in Sequoia National Park. We sent our vaccine records in advance. Check-in was straightforward at 8 am, and several other dogs immediately greeted our pup. With ample communication, we successfully set up an off-schedule pick-up of our dog. Huge thank you to the staff for being so accommodating. Pick-up was painless. On arrival, our pup happily waiting for us in a smaller yard with the other dogs who were getting picked up. We paid in cash. Huge thanks to the staff for looking after our pup.

They are a family run business and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. Super convenient location and dogs get to be outside and have playtime in a nice grass area. The kennels are really really big with plenty of space for large dogs.

We took our 154lb great dane "puppy" here for 9 days. Not only was the owner super friendly, you can tell that he genuinely loves dogs! He even sent us pictures & a video of our big guy playing in their huge yard with other friendly dogs without us having to ask! Our guy was so tired from all of the playing, he slept a couple days when we brought him home XD. If you want your fur baby not just watched, but to be loved on as well, this is definitely the place! 10/10 recommend!

We've been taking our dogs to Hartley's Top Dog Kennels since we moved to the area over 5 years ago. Let me tell you, my dogs have never been treated better anywhere else -- Hartleys Top Dog Kennels are the best! Mr. and Mrs. Hartley make sure the dogs are comfortable, get out of the kennel to play in their big and shady fenced yard, and that they are treated like they were home away from home. If you have any special needs (giving medication, feeding the dogs separately,), they will be happy to accommodate your needs. Having been a dog owner for years, I've had to board my dogs on several occasions, and this is, by far, the best place to board your pups. I get a kick out of watching my dogs get excited when I turn down their street; they know they're going "to the spa." If you are headed up to Sequoia National Park, you won't be able to take your dogs anywhere beyond the parking lot. Call ahead and make a reservation with Hartleys, and leave your dog with them knowing that they're well cared for.

We board our dogs there, and we love it. The dogs get to run and play in the large fenced area, but have an air conditioned or heated barn with kennels for nighttime. At other kennels, our dogs came home stressed, from Hartley's they come home happy.

This place was very kind to me and my animals, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I plan on using them again to board my dogs during future vacations.

Great place to take you animals! The owners make sure your pets are taken out and get plenty of play time. They have great prices, love animals, and will take great care your furry friends!

Best place ever to kennel your pups and kitties. We've used Sandyland for 20-25 years. The owner Denise and lady that works there Charlotte, are all about the animals. They will give your fur babies their medication and anything else your pet needs. Charlotte literally saved our pup's life on one visit. She could tell something was off about him and rushed him to the vet. Turns out our boy was in a pancreatic crisis and if she hadn't been paying attention to him we would have lost him. I can't say enough good things about these folks. It's not a bright and shiny place, but animals don't care about bright and shiny.... they just want food, play, and love and that's what they get there!

They have been taking care of our dogs for as long as we can remember. Literally on two occasions saved our dogs lives. We adopt older dogs and never think twice about their safety when leaving them there. Recommend 100%.

Friendly, nice setup. Dogs are well taken care of.

Dropped off my dog over the weekend. Upon first impressions the premises seemed unkept and disorganized, the kennels are dark and have poor conditions for the dogs; cement floor and the building reeked of urine. I left my dog’s food for the owner to feed him but she didn’t use any of it and my dog came back skinnier, and also smelled of urine. Further, he physically starts to tremble whenever he gets near his kennel at home- I can’t imagine what she may have done to him to make him dread his kennel so much. Definitely do not recommend if you actually care about the well-being of your dog, this location should 100% be your last resort.

We love our dogs. They are family to us. We are very critical about who has the qualifications to take care of them and we found Denise meets those qualifications. When we go on trips, we are not worried about them because we know they are well taken care of.

We have used this service for literally years! They have been the nicest humans anyone could ask for. This time was for a new batch of animals that had never met them and our dogs absolutely LOVED them! We will continue to use them AND let everyone know about them! THANK YOU SANDYLAND KENNELS!

Been coming here for years. Denise and Charlotte have actually saved our Sparky's life on 2 occasions (special needs dog). Take care of our pets as if they were their own.

Owner is very accommodating. Kennel is nice and clean. The cages are very roomy. We feel very confident in leaving our pet with Sandyland.

Charlotte just does not seem to enjoy her job..more likely won't leave my baby again..the place smells has lots of flies..i was really ify about leaving my dog but I took a chance since it was literally last min..no camera to check on your pet..i got no pictures..just nothing to reassure me my baby was fine..i did choose to leave him cus I did like the kennel he was gonna b in..nice size kennel but the 2 days I left him I was concerned the whole time so I won't leave him again

We love this place. They take amazing care of my crazy dog..

It was my Dogs first time there and we had an amazing experience,she would send us pictures of him daily he was there for 4 days sand 3 nights when we picked him up he didn’t want to go home.

Alex and Rich are absolutely amazing! They took wonderful care of our pups and home when we were gone out of town for a whole week. We got updates and pics of the furbabies (which we loved) and were super prompt to respond during any communication. We highly recommend them and their business for your pet boarding needs.

Alexandra and Rich are the best❣️ Barty jumped for joy as soon as he saw Rich 🤣 They are truly the greatest Boarding in Visalia and trust that Barty is very well taken care of❣️100% recommend 🥰 Grateful I found you … …

I am so glad I found Alex! My husband and I were finally able to take a vacation feeling like my fur kids were in good hands! My babies are fully indoors and she stopped by my house and took excellent care of them and hung out with them. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter I recommend her 100% my cats and dog absolutely love her.

They are wonderful and so accommodating! My dog Zeus loves them. I really appreciate it because she always sends me pictures of Zeus 😍 …

Our Dog was Well taken care of. We were sent updates and pictures of how he did for the 3 days he was there. We high recommend CheesyPaws!

She’s great with dogs and cares about them like they are her own! Amazing experience, she’s stuck with me and my dog lol.
