Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
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.
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!
I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!

I recently had my dog Bailey at Starr Pet Resort while I was on an extended 17 days vacation. She had never been in a kennel before and suffers from anxiety. Jim and Sandy are amazing! They took such good care of Bailey. They don’t just cover the basics when caring for your pet, they go to great lengths to understand your pet so your pet will have the best possible experience. Thank you so much Jim for making Bailey feel a part of your family! Rodney
Board at Your Own Risk. No Liabilities, No Insurance and the Owner May Have You Arrested. On June 17, 2017, the next to last day of boarding my Belgian Malinois puppy, Starr Pet Resort left a message on a phone number that I specifically had told them not to use informing me that my dog’s leg had been injured. I was able to retrieve the message and come back a day early to pick my dog up at the hospital where she had been left. I was told that depending on treatment, the bill would be between $2,000 and $4,000. Jim Brock, owner of Starr Pet Resort, initially refused to pay any portion of the bill saying it was just an accident, although he had only given vague, conflicting explanations as to what happened. He also threatened both my girlfriend and I that this was a criminal matter and he was reporting it to the sheriff to have me arrested if I did not pay for his week of boarding immediately by providing him with my credit card information. He also refused to release my dog’s collar, tags and leash left at Starr Pet Resort. Jim had presented me with a contract for signature when I dropped of my dog on June 9, 2017. He stated that it was an “authorization to get medical care if needed”. In reality it was a liability waiver which states that Starr Pet Resort is not liable for anything that happens to your pet, and if they are found liable, it is only for a maximum of $500, or the value of the pet, whichever is LESS. None of these waivers are mentioned on the company’s website, nor was I advised of them prior to drop off even though I had visited the kennel in person and made a reservation over a month before boarding. I made at least five written requests for information regarding the injury. These requests included video records as they advertise they have 24 hour surveillance, a written statement from the person with my dog when the injury occurred and the name of their insurance provider. These requests were all ignored. I did receive an offer for a maximum of $2,000 from Starr Pet Resort on June 20, 2017. The offer may, or may not have covered my dog’s medical bills, but I did not know as it was very early in her treatment. The offer included a condition that I never say anything that they considered false or defamatory or pay damages in the amount of $5,000 for each violation. They broke my dog’s leg and then threatened to have me arrested. I could not agree to these terms. Despite several written requests, I never heard from Starr Pet Resorts after June 20, 2017, until I saw them in Small Claims’ Court on September 11, 2017. The only additional evidence they brought was a note from the girl who was playing with my dog when the supposed accident occurred. It was dated almost three months after the incident even though I had requested this back in June. It also turns out that their insurance does not cover pets. They are a kennel. What does their insurance cover?
These folks kept my best friend safe, active and happy during a two week business trip. The kennel facility is exceptionally clean. A pleasant surprise was the fact that it is climate controlled. Most importantly though; Jim and Sandy are dog people. They very clearly care about their guests and take care of their guests. Strongly recommended Update six months later: Sudden business trip abroad for four weeks: Same great facility. Same great service. Same great people.
We have been staying with Starr Pet for 2+ years and we love them so much! My Frenchie Ernestine loves it from the moment she arrives to see Uncle Jim and Sandi to her private nature walks (an optional add on she loves). The team is very attentive to Ernie, great at communicating updates and sharing pics. They are very professional, organized and treat Ernestine like family. I highly recommend Starr Pet and their amazing family/team. Thanks for taking such great care of Ernestine.
We left our 2 fur babies here when we went out of state for a graduation. They were there roughly 6 days and they had a blast! I got photos texted to me daily and some cool videos. It was comforting knowing our babies were so well taken care of. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to board your four legged kids. Thank you Starr Pet Resort!
Our cat loves staying at Starr Pet Resort when we are away from home. Jim and Sandy take very good care of her when she stays with them. Her room at the pet resort is always clean and comfortable. The whole cat area of the resort is immaculate and the pet owners are welcome to come in and see where their pet is staying as well as see the entire cat area. Both Jim and Sandy are well aware of each animal's condition throughout their stay and monitor each pet often. They treat each pet as an individual and get to know their personalities. We recommend Starr Pet Resort for pet owners whenever their pet needs to stay away from home. We feel confident that any issues that arise during our absence will be addressed and our pet will be safe and well taken care of.
I have a rescue dog who is anxious around new people and other animals. He was nervous at drop off, but in such high spirits after leaving Starr pet resort. They made him comfortable and he had a good time. Very reasonable price, and I really appreciated the one on one attention he received. Thank you Sandi & Jim
Our two English Bulldogs Love coming to Starr Pet Resort its always a treat for them. We started bringing both of our bulldogs when they were small puppies and they visit now on a monthly basis. El Guapo our largest Bulldog 3 years cannot wait to get out of the car to stay at the resort and now our newest addition bulldog puppy 6 months also loves coming to the resort. The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. Jim, Sandy and the staff are great and we wouldn't take our two Bulldog family members anywhere else, Thanks Starr Pet Resort!
We regularly take our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to the Starr Pet Resort. They love going there and are always happy to see the resort owners on arrival. The owners, Jim and Sandi, know the dogs by name, greet them warmly and take very good care of them. We recommend Starr Pet Resort very highly. Cheryl and John
Starr was wonderful with our dog Penny. We dropped her off with them for the first time we'd left overnight, and it was completely seamless. They sent over few photos during her stay to make sure we knew she was having a great time. We had a great experience; we'll be bringing Penny back to Starr in a couple weeks
Affinity Pet Services have been very reliable & caring with our pets when we go on vacation. I love the updates and photos they are thoughtful enough to send so we feel less guilty about leaving home. We come home to a house of content dogs, cats & chickens that are calm and obviously not anxious about the changes. They are well taken care of & happy to get to stay in our home instead of kennels. I recommend Affinity often to friends, and am grateful to have them in our lives the last 5 years!
Our pup loves playgroup! She waits excitedly at the window on playgroup days for pickup, dances when she hears Charlotte pull up, and comes home tired and happy. We also have hired Affinity for pack walks, and to check on our pup in the middle of the day when we have had to work longer hours. Affinity has proven to be trustworthy, caring and very knowledgeable about dog care. We highly recommend!
Can’t give them 10 stars but they are top notch! Charlotte and her company are the best. Dogs always picked up promptly, exercised their little hearts out, returned clean and tired. I often am not home when she drops off, she is respectful, always house is locked back up. My dogs love seeing her cause Affinity equals fun!
Besides being incredibly professional. This is the highest recommendation for Affinity(and Charlotte) I can give. When we come home are cats don’t hide or ignore us(because they are mad)…they are happy to see us, relaxed and carry on as if we had never left. That is because of the great care & love they received from The Affinity team while we were away.
We've got 3 dogs and have been using Affinity for weekly visits and overnight stays when we are out of town for the last year and a half. They are reliable, trustworthy, and provide an abundance of love for our critters. They send us pictures while we're away so we know all is well. We couldn't be happier with the service they provide and highly recommend them.
Fabulous, pet lovers & care givers. They provide supportive care when I have a long stretch away from home. I highly recommend them.
If you neef care for your animals, maybe just a stop in to visit while away for an extended time. Awesome, super efficient booking system. Really nice, caring & diligent carers. Will use them again. Thank you.
I love our Affinity Auntie Gail. Incredibly attentive, and loves my two dogs.
Good people providing great services. I highly recommend!
Great service!
I met Marina several years ago and she took care of our dog, Milo with the best care we could ask for. She stayed in our home for vacations and did day visits at other times. We lost our Milo last year and since I miss seeing Marina. She is a gem!
Marina is the best! She is so very kind, thoughtful, organized and has an excellent communication style. Our little dog is in heaven when he stays with Marina. He is treated like royalty!
Our little pooch Eddie has totally loved his times with Marina and family when we've had to be away. And wherever we were, we got sent regular photos and videos of Eddie with his canine pals playing together and living the good life! Comfort and care supreme for Eddie, and the SAME for us! Five stars isn't enough!
We met Marina when our puppy was just about ten weeks old. She's helped us over the years in several ways: coming by for an hour, watching the dogs all day, or even house sitting. Marina is very reliable and trustworthy. She sends pictures several times a day. Our doggy loves her and is always excited to see her. We have friends we'd referred Marina to, who are just as happy wth her as we are. We recommend Marina without any reservation.
Marina is the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered. She is kind, reliable, honest - I could go on and on. Marina truly cares about animals. Everything she says and does makes that clear from the start. She sat for our very active young lab and and he adores her. Marina is always our first choice for pet and home sitting.
I have used Marina's services several times. She is awesome! I have 3 dogs two are seniors and one is special needs. They all love her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I feel very comfortable with her in my home. She was in constant communication with me sending many pictures. I was confident my pets were in the best hands. I highly recommend her.
Marina is an absolute dream pet sitter. You can tell she really loves animals and my dogs picked up on that the moment they met her. She is clean, conscientious, communicative, and responsible, and just a lovely human. I trust her 100% with my precious fur babies!
Marina is a treasure! She is absolutely reliable. She is someone whom you can count on to make the same decisions you would if she can’t in touch with you. She has an almost magical connection to animals including our skittish cats and our bouncy German Shepherd. She is someone whom you can trust.
Our dog loves being in Marina’s care! And we love how generously Marina takes care of our big 75-pound baby. You couldn’t ask for more from this pet caregiver. You and your pet will be lucky to connect with her.
I hired Marina to stay with my dog for three days and two nights while I was out of town, and when I came home I could tell my little girl Roweena was disappointed to see me and wished that Marina would stay on indefinitely. Lol,… no seriously, I really cannot say enough good about Marina. Your pet could not be placed in better, more loving hands.
We absolutely love Balanced Behavior and everyone who works there. They're very kind and helpful. Our dogs regularly go to weekly daycare and we also board them there when we're out of town. Even our dog who is shy around other people loves the people there and is so excited to see them. 5 stars +++
Our fur baby has been going to Balanced Behavior since the middle of 2021. She goes sometimes for doggy day care to burn off some energy or to just have some doggy companionship. We have also boarded her there for a few days and nights at a time when we werent able to take her on trips with us. We also went to in person one on one training there with Caity and she helped us understand how to communicate with Mala on what we would like from her and some manners. They keep her cool in the summer and pay great attention to her if she seems to be getting over stimulated or sore from play. She had one minor scuffle with a dog there and we were instantly called to let us know what had happened and to assure that she was fine and to keep us in the loop with everything. The owner is on site a huge majority of the time and she is also the one that trained Mala and us there on her property. The staff is kind and attentive and friendly and that goes a very long way with me. We had been a devoted fan of another local kennel before Balanced but the new staff always seemed annoyed, hardly smiled and the last straw was when we picked up our dog from a 4 day and night stay and our dog was clearly in pain and was sent home with us with a painful sprained tail. No one mentioned anything to us but it was obvious she was in pain as soon as we got home. Anyways our doggy loves Balanced and we are pretty fond of them too. 🐕🐕🐶🐶🐾🐾🐾
Shane and Caity have built a wonderful facility. We’ve been taking our 2 dogs there every Friday for 5 years now and couldn’t be happier. Our dogs are a little wild and the staff is so good about keeping them calm at drop off. Super clean, new facilities are very welcoming. Also love how the play yard is in plain sight (some places feel like they’re hidden behind closed doors). We’ll keep going as long as they’ll have us!
This kennel is behind the owners home, on a decent sized property. It’s gated and very clean. There is a big yard which is the main play yard, then side yard, 16 private runs for dogs who are being boarded along with a private doggie door inside their kennel/bed area so they can go out and run. The boarding area is temperature controlled. The main yard area is monitored by two of the girls at all times, they watch the dogs and interact with them. The prices are reasonable. For me it’s close to my house so I like that for conscience. The owner is certified dog trainer and is very nice. I took my dog today for a meet and greet and then left him in daycare for half the day. They were very thorough with me and explained how he was, gave recommendations and went through everything with me. Some of the things they said and recommended are going to be super helpful and I’ve tried working on him with these behaviors, I have heard great things about the owner and her training abilities so I’m hopeful she can help. I’m defiantly going back. My dog is pooped after a few hours there. 🤩🙌🏼
People really take great care of your dog. Very professional. Facility is first class. Trainers are highly rated. Best dog facility in Sonoma County.
Catie is the best trainer we have ever worked with. The facility is amazing. She has helped us with both of our German Shepherds. In just two sessions we have seen great results. I will be able to walk both of these powerful beasts together soon. I just can't say enough good things about her. Check it out if you need help. 😃 …
We've had our dog doing day-care once to twice per week since she was about 6 months old. She absolutely loves it. We've also had her stay the night a few times. It has made her so social around other dogs. The staff is amazing and the facilities are super nice.
I cannot reccomend this place at all. A good place for your dog to learn bad behavior. They do not have enough people outside watching the dogs.My pup had several bad experiences and I will not be back. The owner lacks compassion and training herself. The place is set up so that all the little dogs have to be surrounded by the large dogs playing, barking. play fighting, etc. My dog got sick 3 times and they didn't call me, she could not settle and was dominant?, and they did not tell me. Don't take a dog under 50 pounds to this kennel. There was one young lady that worked their that truly knew dog behavior. She was great I wish I could remember her name.
We love it here. Our boxer Phyllis loves all the care takers and the dogs. We have had her in the daycare during the day and the boarding. All is amazing.
Caity is amazing!! If you want somewhere safe and secure for your pup's, give her a call! She is great with training animals and truley has found her passion! 💖 …
We’ve gone to Taylor Mountain for 2 years now and can’t express enough how this place is the absolute best. It’s our dog’s favorite place to go. He’s a dogs dog and hasn’t always trusted people. These folks work so well with him despite that being challenging sometimes. They limit the number of dogs they have so each dog gets real attention - your dog isn’t 1 in 100 like most other places. They also let dogs be dogs - they’re allowed to chill or play all day as they like and that was a must for us. I can’t recommend Melissa, Tracy, and the crew at Taylor Mountain enough for dog boarding. Trust me, this is where you want to go if your dog is your kid like ours is to us.
Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat is absolutely the best! From day one they have been incredibly professional and I never worry about Riley being in their care. They go above and beyond to make sure your pup is comfortable, happy, and loved. The camp notes for longer stays with the dog treat is such an amazing touch. I have never felt better about living my fur child with a boarding facility; highly recommend!
Our dog LOVES Taylor Mountain and they are so kind to her. It’s clear she is cared for while we’re out of town and they pay attention to all the details for each dog — which dogs they get along with, any behavioral challenges, etc. It’s easy to leave for weeks at a time when you know your dog is stoked to be going to Taylor Mountain. Love this place and I know our pup loves it even more than we do.
Five stars is just not enough! Your search is over- you’ve found the best boarding facility in Sonoma County. My boyfriend and I have been clients at TMCR since 2020. At the time we had just gotten a new puppy, Cooper, who was a little fluff ball of energy. With us both working full time, it was very important that we found a facility that could help support us in providing the best life for our boy. From daycare to overnights, we wanted to find a place for him that felt like a second home. When we first toured the property and facility, we were treated with the utmost respect and care. Melissa asked us numerous questions about our boy Cooper to ensure she truly got to know him and his needs. From day one, Cooper was in love. He was a regular Daycare guest 2-3 days a week and probably would live with Melissa and Tracy if they’d let him! Cooper ended up being a little bit of a sensitive boy when it came to his diet, his soft paws, and hot summer days. The team at TMCR made sure to go above and beyond when it came to accommodating these needs. They ensured he ate his special lunch we packed him for his diet, made sure to swap him from different play yards when his paws needed a break, and spoiled our boy with unlimited pool days, cold floor naps with huge fans ( this is a big plus for Cooper), and all the snuggles in between. We later bred Cooper, and kept his first born son, Murphy. Cooper and Murphy are now both TMCR clients. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the support, love, and care TMCR gives to us and our boys. Cooper and Murphy are our babies, and knowing that they are not only in wonderful hands, but having the time of their life while at TMCR, brings us peace and comfort that is truly priceless. I look forward to the life long relationship our boys have with TMCR and all of the staff members. While we are unbelievably sad to see the daycare side of the facility close, we find comfort knowing we still have TMCR for all our boarding needs. THANK YOU!!
Melissa & Tracy and the rest of the TMC staff are amazing!! I wouldn't bring my dog Maggie anywhere else! They are attentive, compassionate and treat all of the dogs there like their own! We utilize both their boarding and daycare services and Maggie always comes home happy and well cared for! Maggie is somewhat of a higher maintenance dog and the staff is always very attentive to her needs providing her medication when she is due and ensuring that her meals are prepared as she needs! Melissa has gone out of her way to prepare her special meals when Maggie has had an upset tummy or communicate with me any issues that may come up during her stay! Their facilities are clean, well kept, and the grounds are fantastic! It truly is a retreat for your furry friend! I will be a life long client of Taylor Mountain Canine.
This is HEAVEN for dogs!!! We had never boarded an animal before, and we dutifully checked out four or five other boarding places before being recommended to Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat. We are so glad we found them! They are in a whole other (higher, better) class from any of the other folks we interviewed, for the same or better prices. We traveled for fun, but I think our dog had a better vacation than we did! Tracy and Melissa LAVISHED our pup with heaping amounts of care, attention and affection. And, practically, when we arrived to pick up our darling dog, Melissa asked briefly for our presence, and she proceeded to clip the dog's toenails while we held our dog's leash and petted her. Two different vets had previously recommended sedation as the only way to accomplish a nail trim... The relationship these folks built with our dog in a short amount of time had our dog trusting and loving them enough to allow even the scariest task to become quick and effortless. No muss, no fuss, no worry, our dog came home shiny, happy and healthy. We LOVE Taylor Mountain Canine Retreat, they are absolutely our "go to" boarding place, pretty much forever. Additionally, we'll definitely be taking our dog to hang out and have fun even when we are around- she clearly adores Tracy and Melissa and being at TMCR. Thank you for taking such great care of our precious doggy!
Incredible place! The staff and ownership are extremely kind and knowledgeable. They are detailed in every dog's care and are very responsive via phone and email. My dog has boarded over single nights as well as for two weeks straight. She is always so excited to go into the building when we arrive. She comes back healthy and happy each time. I highly recommend TMCR!
Taylor Mountain Canine is the best spot to take your furry friend! Louise has a blast whenever she gets to go. Melissa, Tracy, and the rest of the staff go the extra mile. They get to run around and play all day, get their nails clipped, get bathed, and they get a report card at the end of their stay which I love so you can see how your dog did. I love knowing Louise is in such good hands!
Our dog Annie loves it here. Great people, lots of things to do at doggie camp. There are lots of dog pals for here for play and conversation or just relaxing. We have used many other dog care facilities in Sonoma County over the years, and Taylor Mountain Dog Retreat so far has been the best. One more time, the owners and staff are great, the play areas and relaxation areas are clean wonderful and with very clean & heated indoor/outdoor sleeping facilities. No better place for our Princess to play, socialize and relax, then Taylor Mountain. Blake B
Our dog Gatsby has had a couple of amazing stays here so far, and we recommend this retreat 1000 times over!! Melissa and Tracy and their entire staff run a very professional yet loving operation here. Our dog was a bit nervous for her first 4 night stay, but when we brought her back for a 12 night stay she was going absolutely bonkers and was so excited to see the staff again, and that's when we truly new that Gatsby is in great hands. The staff is very responsive and we loved getting pictures texted to us as well as seeing Gatsby on the Instagram stories. We hardly worried about Gatsby at all during our trip even though this was the longest we had left her. The price is very reasonable and competitive with the area, and a bath and nail trim at the end was very much appreciated! The very flexible pick up and drop off hours are awesome. No ridiculous upcharges to have your dog play unlike some other places in the area. Again, cannot recommend this business enough for your dog boarding needs!
There are not enough word to express the gratitude and love Rocky and I have for our Auntie Trish. She is an absolute dog whisperer. Rocky was a difficult dog. He was never difficult with his Auntie Trish. I was able to travel leaving him with her knowing he was in the best of hands always. She is so amazing she has a spot in our first and second book. Rocky recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Auntie Trish still remains as part of our adventure. She is amazing.
My dog has been going here for yours. Trish is wonderful and so caring. I know my dog is being cared for when he is with her!
Trish is the best! Velma and I absolutely love her!
Excellent care for my pup.
This lady is a saint!
Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!
We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.
Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾
We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.
I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.
Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.
Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.
Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.
We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.
We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.
The best care and the best people I have ever encountered in a dog boarding facility. Absolutely top notch.
This is the only place we trust sending our pup when we go out of town. She comes back tired from playing, and always hops on the shuttle from the Presidio with so much eagerness that we know she loves it too! The vetting process can be a bit much, but it’s worth it to know that she’s only with other well behaved dogs and won’t come back with bad behaviors she didn’t leave with. Highly recommend and price is similar to some daily dog walker rates!
Tapper Hill is a great facility with a fantastic staff. You know it’s a great place when your four legged friends jump out of the car with their tails wagging when you arrive. Shuttle service is a big timesaver
Tappen Hill is the ultimate in dog boarding. It is truly unlike anything I've ever seen. Located in Sonoma County, it is a bit of a drive from San Francisco, but so worth it to know your dog will be treated with the highest level of care. Surrounded by beautiful rolling hills, Tappen Hill looks like a resort for humans. Beautiful manicured grounds, sparkling swimming pools (yes, I said swimming pools) and play grounds, this place is truly stunning. Your dog must pass a rather rigorous evaluation to get it, but it ensures an enjoyable environment for all. Nothing compares to Tappen Hill & definitely worth the drive!
Our dogs love it here. They get lots of play time with other dogs, have a pool to play in when it's hot, and are well-armed for. I like that they carefully assess the dogs and keep the size of the play groups smaller and easier to watch.
Posting for a friend who was a good client and during a recent pet stay, the rates were raised during their visit. This was not the first time. Apparently communication is lacking as they just communicate on their website and are unable to use their words when face to face. Buyer beware when leaving your pet for a stay!!
Our dogs have gone there for years. Simply the best boarding kennel we have ever used.
Most impressive doggie facility! Staff is professional and reflective of the owners' empathic love for man's best friend.
Very accommodating and always take good care of our pup! We can rest assured when we travel knowing our dog is well taken care of.
Our dog loves this place, wonderful people's work there, they taken very good care to all of them, a lot of space for them to run 2 swimming pool and a lot of toys, there are a happy place for my dogs
My girl loves Daycare here!! She has the best time with all the dogs and always comes home tired and happy. I have a hard time getting her out the door because she doesn't want to leave! I love watching her play on the cams. Staff is kind and the rates are the best in town.
Teddy 98 pound 2 year old Labrador had never been boarded. We took Teddy to Paradise Pet Resort and Teddy was excited to meet all the employees. We took the tour and Teddy wanted to play right away. Teddy had a free evaluation day before we boarded him overnight. Teddy had so much fun - he had played so hard he was exhausted. Teddy spent 3 nights at Paradise Pet Resort. Teddy enjoyed every minute he was there. It feels good to know Teddy is on vacation too.
I love this place. We have two boxers. One is two years old the other 9. We use lodging for both and play time for younger one. Our older one is dog aggressive and they are fantastic about keeping him separate and doing add on solo dog walks when we lodge. The share a room which is great as that’s what they are used to. Pet play house is so accommodating with doing complex medication schedules. More than anything, the way they treat our dogs like their own is why we use their service. We highly recommend their service, EVERY staff member we have dealt with is excellent - 10 out of 10!!!!!
Best pet resort in Santa Rosa. My dog has stayed there many times. I really trust them. They’re really good with their dogs and Fritz .
I had concerns about leaving our dog for doggy daycare. We had never put her in one before. She seems to have adjusted to going there. I feel comfortable letting her stay there. Thanx Jennifer for making it easy for us,and Stormy especially.
"Dogs get sick" and "Kennels are stressful." This is the answer I received when dismayed that my healthy vibrant corgi developed serious illness during his short stay at Pet Paradise. Left him there on Friday night, and he was vomiting, disoriented and lethargic by Sunday morning. Staff at the front desk had no information when we picked him up, and didn't bother to tell me my dog was sick until AFTER I paid the $100 tab for 2 nights. (I did not receive the Sunday AM voicemail they left until long after I collected my dog.) Later, by phone, the site manager expressed absolute indifference to the situation -- "Kennels are stressful" and "dogs get sick," Marylin said, after talking over me repeatedly to emphasize that they did "all they could" by simply calling us on Sunday morning. My sick dog was given no special attention, he was not isolated from the rest of the dogs for his or their safety, and he was left to sit unbathed after being discovered covered in his own vomit when they found him in the morning. He was a wreck! The LEAST they could do is apologize and act like they care at all for my dog, who has been going there for short stays for years now. I incurred a $176 vet bill to learn that my dog had eaten something toxic while there (likely another dog's poop) and the owner (who will not call me and makes Marylin do all of his communicating for him) will neither refund the hefty cost of our dog's stay nor compensate us for the vet bill that was 100% attributable to the negligence of his staff. DON'T SEND YOUR DOGS TO THIS EXPENSIVE DIRTY KENNEL RUN BY FOLKS WHO WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNSAFE CONDITIONS!
It's all about the care they show for your precious pet. They require a screening visit to observe your pet with the pups. They gave us a swag bag following the screening visit and our pet adopted the plush toy immediately. Real time video is available on an app on your phone. It is great to be able to visually check on your loved ones. We are confident in the level of care they provide.
Our Ryder is about 2 years old. He’s a rescue and full of energy. It’s been many years that we’ve had a young dog. We decided to put him in doggie daycare to get his energy out. Oh my gosh it works. I like that I can watch him play. He never stops. Everyone at Paradise Pet Resort is so nice and cares for the dogs.
I was stunned when I picked up our Neufoundland, she was so unbelievably beautiful. We finally hit the jackpot with Paradise Pet Resorts & Grooming, especially with Lana. She is a "Grooming Goddess" extraordinaire! She worked with our pet who is older and being a large breed, has some pain issues. For the first time ever, our dog did not collapse in pain when we got her home, the way she did with previous groomers. In some miraculous way, Lana had the patience and insight to work on her for THREE HOURS making her look, act and behave brand new. She was able to move freely the next day, too. Thank you Paradise Pet Resort for being such an awesome and happy place for dogs and for employing such incredible, professional employees, especially Lana!
They are very good with the dogs. My dog is very frightened and they usually just wrap him up in a warm blanket and keep him calm. Some people tell me that their dogs love going to the place but my little dog has separation issues.
We’ve taken our Pomeranian to Gina at Four Paws for nearly 2 years since he was a puppy. We’re always happy with his specialty “teddy bear” cut. We’ve recommended Giur Paws to several friends.
We just love Bernadette in the Grooming area. She is so thoughtful and so good with our 2 dogs. She always goes above and beyond to help them. She is such a Great person... Joyce & Dave Sunderman
Dear 4 Paws Team, I just wanted to say how much we love bringing our dog to 4 Paws! Everyone is super friendly and it’s clear that you all love your job. Our dog comes home exhausted from playing all day, which is fantastic. The location is great, and the facility with its open field is wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our furry friends Best regards,
We absolutely love 4Paws Pet Ranch! We return for Joe’s hair cut every 3 months or so. They are great with the dogs and excellent stylists. I highly recommend them to everyone who loves their dog and wants them to look their best! They also have fantastic boarding services if you need to leave your baby behind for a few days!
Our super-energetic pup lives for Four Paws! We take him most work days and are incredibly thankful for the care and exercise he receives there. Without this outlet, I’m not sure we could have survived him and he might not have developed into the cool dog he is now…he’s awesome, but still a handful! Great staff loves him, and that makes us all happy!
The kindness and commitment by everyone at Four Paws have been without question since I first brought my small dog ODY for day care and boarding in 2013, and now -- after Ody's passing -- for my large, retriever mix HUGO for day care, boarding and training. Hugo carries on Ody's display of GREAT excitement as soon as I turn onto Guerneville Road, which signals a day or MORE at Four Paws. I feel safe, also, that vaccination requirements for all of the dogs in attendance are met. Thank you, Four Paws!
I’ve been using Four Paws for over 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their friendliness and kindness, and I know that they take care of my dogs
Lexie has been groomed by Gina since she was a small puppy, she is now 8 1/2 years. The estimated time for the grooming is usually spot on. Gina has a gentle way with dogs. Bernedette is also another favorite of a friend of mine. Highly recommend this place to anyone who want their furry friend to look its best.
I took my cat, Trout, here. They made it as pleasant as such an experience can be. I expected Trout to be traumatized, but when I let her out in the car - aside from loving on me for the first five minutes and then going back into her travel bag and growling at me for leaving her for a hot second - she was all cuddles immediately after. She made friends with the staff, they are all excited to see her come back. The hardest part was signing the standard release form. But it worked for boarding in a pinch. Trout wasn't traumatized at all. <3 Bring your paperwork!
Four Paws Pet Ranch is a wonderful place. Dragon loves his daycare with his doggy pals. Boarding is very good. I've only been a client for a year, but I have friends who've taken their dogs for many years. Highly recommend.
