Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
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!
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.
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.
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

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.
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.
What a pleasure to discover Janice’s pet service. I didn’t really want to leave my 17 month old golden doodle at our air B & B while I went to a quarterly wine pick up party. Janice has a perfect spot for my energetic girl and I picked up a tired and very happy girl after an evening of playing with others. Thank you Janice!!! I will return.
Beautiful property, charming dog cottages, kind and patient staff, happy dogs! We took our two dogs here for a three night stay. A few days before their doggy-cation, we took them for a 3 hour doggy daycare to check out the place and give the dogs a chance to become familiar with where they’d be staying. I have nothing but great things to say about Canterbury Tails—they have a large play yard where dogs can socialize with other dog friends or separate themselves if they’re not feeling it! Their temperature controlled cottage style homes with enclosed outdoor patios have cots and blankets. If your dog develops a bond with another guest, they can bunk them together! Canterbury also offers 1:1 playtime and walks for a small charge. We also opted for the lavender exit bath upon pick up! Our dogs were well taken care of. Their “smiles” at pick up time said it all! I highly recommend this dog resort. I want to give a special shout-out to Shilo, a staff member who was friendly and welcoming from the very first phone call. She even updated me on how the dogs were doing when I called during our trip (I’m THAT dog mama). Thank you Shilo!!
Like most dog owners, I'm apprehensive about leaving my dog with strangers. The staff here made the drop-off process so seamless, my dog didn't even know I was gone. The tracker collar I have on him showed he really played a lot and he was happy and exhausted when I picked him up. Well done and 10/10 would recommend.
I have left my Husky there twice. The first time everything went great, pretty much.. The second time i had a family emergency, i needed somewhere again for my dog. I thought i would be gone a week but things turned out different and i only needed one night. I called first thing the next morning to let them know i would be picking her up that day. It was after noon so i just expected to pay for that day. When i picked up my dog I was told the lady was out to lunch. Not expecting any problems i said it was ok. Within a few days i see charges on my bank statement i do not recognize so i call. Long story short i was charged almost 500.00 dollars. The lady Said she found errors on their billing end. She said she would give me a Credit of $118.00 get this, TO GO TOWARDS MY NEXT STAY THERE. So no there was no credit given. They must be hurting to pull things like this. I won't be going back there . It's to bad because they could make a lot more money being honest.
Last year, We needed someone to watch the dogs. This place seemed like it would be great! I booked it and found out that my brother in law was staying home so he would be able to watch the dogs! I called the place back, literally within 45 minutes of booking, and they said that it wouldn't be a problem.... Guess what? It was a problem! I called again when we came back from our trip and they charged us $275 for NO dogs and cancelling within 45 minutes of booking! This was such a scam! I called our credit card company and they said because this company had responded to our dispute we wouldn't get our money back! This was such an awful experience that they wouldn't even honor anything! On top of that they said they were refunding it and never did. Be very careful about booking this place because they are NON REFUNDABLE even if you book it and cancel within the same hour. It is my recommendation to not make reservations with this place and just see if they have room because if you don't end up needing them, you will be out your money. They must be really desperate for money since they wouldn't return the money for dogs they never even watched! Why am I writing this a year later? Because, I need a place and can't go there because they already stole my money! Even if I did take my dog there, I don't believe they would treat my dog like they should. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED!
Canterbury Tails Dog Resort is amazing!! I'm super picky about who is taking care of my best friend Dolly. She means everything to me. I'd give Canterbury Tails 10 stars if I could. From the tour of the property and meeting the team members, I actually wished I could stay there. Safe, clean, friendly and incredible humans that truly love what they're doing. Truly a resort! You can add on play sessions, baths, and other activities. I'll never go anywhere else! Thank you to everyone at Canterbury Tails Dog Resort for the love and care you provided to my Dolly.
Canterbury tales is by far the only place I would take my dog on the Central Coast. After at least 10 trips and some for multiple days, my boy "Scooter" always comes back happy and healthy. It truly seems like the people that work there have a great love for the animals they take care of and it's calming knowing that I can trust them 💯 with my favorite little guy. Thank you everyone at Canterbury Tails Dog Resort for the great job you do, much appreciation!!
This is a horrible facility with horrible staff and an unstable owner. Our dog needed immediate emergency care upon pickup and and when telling the owner about it she started yelling and blaming us. Not once did her or her staff call and tell us our dog was not eating, not drinking, couldn’t walk or lift her head. Not one call, text, nothing! We called several times while in vacation and her staff told us the opposite. They told us our dogs were doing well eating and drinking. This place is horrible!!!
I love this kennel. More importantly, my dogs love this kennel. I lived in Paso for two years, while my boyfriend lived on the east coast. As a result, I needed to board my dogs (two Boxers, 6 year old male and 4 year old female) for extended stays. I toured the Canterbury facility and found it immaculate and the staff friendly. The owners were professional and accommodating. The kennels are spacious private rooms, with heat and air conditioning and their own little yard. If social, the dogs are also taken for group play in the yard. When I picked up my dogs after their first stay, they were happy to see me, but clearly would have been happy to stay. On recurring visits, they even ran around the yard trying to avoid me and the leash to extend their stay. The staff members are great with the dogs, exhibiting sincere affection for them. My dogs would get excited in the car as we approached the kennel. I have since moved from the area, but I drive my dogs down when I need to leave them for an extended stay, because I know they will be happy and well cared for. I have never encountered a kennel as good as this one. It's so beautiful, with its little Tudor kennels under the old twisted oaks, that I love the few minutes I spend there dropping off/picking up the dogs. I highly recommend it.
We have very high drive, high feelings working dogs and this place gets it. Everything they're is curated to understand the dog's needs and provide a lovely away from home experience. Everytime we get a report at pickup, I'm grateful for their deep knowledge of dogs.
I called to make a last minute reservation over the weekend and learned over the phone that they do not take pit bull mixes. After assuring the woman on the phone that my dog is well socialized and very friendly with adults, children and dogs, and tolerating her response of "pit bulls are usually very aggressive," she spoke with her manager and decided they could take him for the weekend. Between that time I was happy to have found a neighbor who was able to watch my dog instead. They will not have my business.
We hired Kristen with Cambria Care Angels to pet sit our kitty for us for a few days while we were out of town. She is a true animal person and our kitty just loved her right away (he isn't that way with all people--he's choosy, he's a cat after all). Kristen sent us pictures and a text update every time she came by to attend to him--we returned to a happy and contented kitty. Very reasonably priced, very reliable, very attentive to our kitty, Cambria Care Angels Pet Sitting is our first choice from now on!
Kristen was very intuitive about what would be needed to provide the best experience for my dogs and me. I went on vacation to Cambria and was looking for a pet sitter for a few hours, for 2 consecutive days. She responded to my calls promptly, especially when i had questions prior to her taking car of my dogs. The days that she took care them, she came early and helped me understand how she would get familiar with them. She is very professional and also shows a deep compassion for dogs. When we were gone, she sent us photos, walked them and played with them. I was so lucky to have her help. Thank you Kristen!’n
I have used Cambria Care Angels Pet Sitting, they do a great job and my dog always is happy to go and wagging her tail when I pick her up. I would recommend this company for your pet!
We visited Paso Robles and wanted to do some “touristy” stuff but our 2 Bernedoodles, Brodie and Dani, could not come with us. We found this amazing doggie daycare a few short miles from our RV resort. After the necessary paperwork was processed online, we met the team and delivered our girls to their capable and professional care. We are always a little apprehensive about leaving them but, we were assured everything would be alright and they were correct. The girls “behaved” themselves and got a good report card. They must have had a great day because they slept great that night!! Thank you to everyone at this amazing facility. We highly recommend contacting Vineyard Kennels if you need the BEST!! Cheers! Alison
My Pom Chi mix Ruby stayed for four days and I’m not sure she wanted to come home! She made all sorts of new friends and enjoyed her stay very much. Thank you all for your fine doggie care!!🐾🐾❤️ …
My dogs get excited, when I get home, before a walk, before a morning treat they wag their tails, grunt, huff and puff… When we pull up to Vineyard Kennels my dogs go crazy!! Screaming, yelping, jumping! Nothing else makes them do this. It’s like doggy Disneyland!! Our dogs love you and so do we! Thank you VK!!
I cannot even express how much my dog and I love Vineyard Kennels. He goes to daycare regularly and boards occasionally. They are so kind, he has SO MUCH FUN. My dog, Charles, has gone to other daycares and I worked at one for a long time, so we’re both picky. They are so convenient and take such great care of the dogs, and at a great price too! I love chatting with the employees and they care about the dogs so much. They have a very cute board in the office with Polaroid pictures of the daily daycare doggies. They also have Dirty Doxie Grooming on the property. Adrianne is a fantastic groomer and she just picks Charles up from daycare and I can pick him up at my normal time. They have doggie pools for when it’s hot and nap time in the AC. Charles comes back exhausted every day. They also are so accommodating for any random need. They even do a doggie secret Santa around Christmas time. Really can’t recommend them enough.
They beat your dog. My dog passed. Horrible dirty place. Your dog will not be safe here. This place will scam you. Poor communication. Lots of diseases. They don't clean. Dog might not walk out of here breathing. Abusive. Will never use.
My dog has been a monthly “hall pass” member at their doggy daycare for years and is boarded here regularly. This place is my savior! My dog gets very anxious when I leave her home and at Vineyard Kennels she is like a different dog and it’s so reassuring knowing how well she is taken care of. Their self-service room for regulars is incredibly helpful for my work schedule and there have been numerous times where I’ve had an emergency and they board her at the last minute. I am so fortunate to know they genuinely care about the dogs and take the best care of them. The owner, Amanda, has transformed the place since she took over a couple of years ago and continually creates new, fun things for the pups. Vineyard Kennels is my dog’s home away from home and I’m forever thankful for how well they treat her.
I spelled something wrong on face book and the owner Jon, belittled me. Poor care. Abusive towards people and dogs. Report of a dog cemetery rather than a boarding kennel. Very rude person. Mean to dogs. Don't use this place unless you need hospice services for your dog. Your Dog will walk in on 4 legs and you will carry your pets ashes home. Then charge you for the stay. Horrible
The staff was great to deal with, very friendly and obviously good with dogs. My smaller dog is usually quite nervous about new places, but she seemed excited to be back the next day we went. After hours pickup was a great touch as well. Really allowed us to be flexible with our limited time down that way. Very good experience.
Yes, the place is older. Yes, the dogs smell when they come out. It’s a kennel. My two dogs are very happy when I pick them up and I would not just send them anywhere; they are my fur babies. I am always able to get in and the pricing is very reasonable. You can tell the staff cares. I have a white dog with very pink skin that gets easily irritated and I have never had issues with him after his stay. Highly recommend this kennel. 😊
I am so delighted with Vineyard Kennels and so very fortunate that it is located in a convenient place from my home and work. First of all the staff are amazing -- they all clearly love what they do and the dogs in their care. I saw it the first time I visited, but I have continued to witness it as I watch my 7 month old lab go and come. He goes happily and he comes home relaxed and tired from all the fun he's had. He has made friends who we hear about when we pick him up. I could not be more happy with the attention, love, and care he is receiving. Plus, the staff is always available for questions. I give this kennel the highest of ratings. My dog is on the daycare plan, which is perfect for our needs.
Melissa Mills was awesome and she is missed.THE Technology Collective was happy to provide tools and mealsto her so that she could stay busy taking care of CaMBRIA's pets and more!
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.
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
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 are so happy we chose Thousand Hills. Our puppy loved meeting new friends, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and we got daily updates so we could check in.
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.
Life would be "ruff" without Estrella Kennels! Carolyn and Cheyenne provide an amazing enviroment for my year old Standard Poodle. For day-care or boarding, there is never a worry that he is safe and having fun, it's like your child going to camp, he is always excited and happy to see his two and four legged friends. With my busy job and our schedules, we rely on Estrella Kennels to fill in the gaps. They are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate about our animals.
Carolyn, Cheyenne, and Estrella are such a gift to the Cambria community. This is the best day care any of my puppies has ever received. It has a great experience for her socialization and her separation anxiety.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Estrella Kennels has been a great experience for us & our pups, who are Standard poodles, a male & female, & just 7 months old. The owner, Caroline, takes a personal interest in her “boarders” , and the pups are always happy to see her. Estrella is in the tiny coastal town , Harmony, has a large play yard for the dogs, and separate kennels. The country setting is much more welcoming then a typical kennel with cages. The prices are extremely reasonable. Estrella has been a Pleasure for us and our puppies…5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m not even going to rate them at one star. I called today to inquire about boarding for my dogs and was told that if they have never been boarded before they would not accept them and if they are over the age of five they will not accept them. I was referred by a friend who has an elderly dog that boards there. Basically they were not helpful and sounds like they do not wish to take on new clients. So if you have a six month old that never has been boarded or an eight year old they will not take them in. So lie about your dogs boarding before and lie about their age or better yet find a better place to board your four legged family members. If every boarding facility acts like them, then dogs will be left at home alone to fend for themselves! That’s crazy! Are they not in the business to help the community on pet sitting while your out of town? I’m informing my friend who recommended them about my experience and I want everyone else to know as well. My pups are the best behaved ever and anyone who ever meets them always say so. They are well trained and obey commands. I will never suggest them to anyone instead I will inform them of my experience.
I have used Estrella Kennels for several years. It is OUTSTANDING! My dog loves to go -- he doesn't even look back when I drop him off. The facility is open, safe and secure. And Carolyn is amazing. She is truly a dog whisperer. The dogs love her AND obey her.
Have been using Estrella Kennels for years and years. Carolyn has taken care of my three huskys over the years..and my sisters bassett hounds. I can not say enough good things. Carolyn is the best. The kennel itself is clean and the dogs love it. So very glad I found this place! Takes that stress off of a pet owner when leaving your "sidekick" at a kennel!
Carolyn and her staff give our Pearl the most excellent care! I feel so confident that our girl is well taken care of when we’re out of town. So grateful we have Estrella Kennels in our little community. Thank you Carolyn and Staff.
Estrella Kennels has been our dogs' home-away-from-home for more than 15 years. Each of the five dogs who have gone to "camp" has been happy to return. Even our scaredy little rescue is almost happy and thinks Carolyn is his second mama. We hated not going to kennel during Covid, so we dropped in just to say " Woof!"
Have you ever taken your beloved dog to a kennel, only to have him shut down from separation anxiety and stop eating for 3 weeks? Have you ever taken your dog to a supposedly reputable trainer and kennel, only to find out that the person took another day job and left your dog unattended during the day, only to have your dog eating yard junk, resulting in 3K worth of vet bills for a lodged abdominal obstruction? That's our experience BEFORE finding Carolyn And Estrella Kennels. She is, without a doubt the best animal behaviorist in this community. We ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HER HERE. Since enrolling our dog in Carolyn's doggie day care, our dog is completely socialized with other dogs; in fact, our girl waits patiently by the front window on day care days. When she gets home, she positively "flops" after a active day with her "buds". Vacation kennelling is no longer a worry. Our girl just loves it at Carolyn's, and we love Carolyn for her care and expertise. She is a rare and talented person who has carved out her niche in our community. Thank you sooo much for your diligence. There's no substitute for quality, and Carolyn far exceeds expectations.
We hate to leave our dogs but thank goodness for Estrella Kennels! Shianne and Carolyn are great caregivers. Our dogs leap out of the car on arrival and we are smiling on our drive away! Our dogs are in great hands, well cared for. They get to run and play in a large secured fenced yard while we are away.
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.
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!!
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
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.
Great lady take care of our dog very well
My dog was treated just like she was at home! Thank you Susan!
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.
Lots of love and excellent care. Reasonable pricing.
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.
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!
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
We were spending a night in San Luis Obispo and called a vet who recommended creekside for boarding and I would 100% board here again! Mason isn’t great with other dogs but they were able to give him plenty of attention and play time and he had lots of space to be comfortable. When we picked him up you could tell he had a great time and we got great updates from the team on how he did. It’s so obvious how much they care about the dogs and we feel so grateful to have found a wonderful place for Mason!
This was my dog Clementine's first boarding experience and she loved it. Everyone was so nice and friendly to her. She met and played with new doggie friends. I picked Clem up a couple times for outings . I was visiting the area. She was always so excited to return to Creekside and see the staff!
