Pet Sitters in Downtown, Sacramento

Today I picked up Taffy, my Pembroke Welch Corgi! She thinks her owner is a queen , however, I’m just an aid for children with disabilities. Violet keeps her looking like a queen owns her. Thank you violet for being a gentle and very good groomer! I would recommend you any time!

I am so GRATEFUL that I found Grateful Dog Daycare! I've taken advantage of their overnight and long-term boarding services. As you can see from the photo, Ariel and I have trouble leaving one another. However, she always comes home healthy and happy after staying with the Grateful Dog Staff who are so very helpful and kind. If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would!

even though it wasn't a fit for my pooch, excellent facility and staff. We love their grooming services. Their staff are fantastic and my dog always leaves looking and smelling her best.

it's pricier than most such places but you get what you pay for – they really do treat your dog well and pay attention to them and keep them safe. peace of mind is worth it!

Awesome place, rayvin loves her spa package and nail file... The staff is friendly the prices are affordable. Thank you 😊 …

We've been taking our 14 year old Westie here for six years for grooming. Now they are his favorite place to go for doggy day care as well. Everyone is so professional and patient with him now that he's getting very stubborn in his old age. Definitely I'm glad for this essential worker! Just look at that smile🐾💗 …

I take my 40lb doodley dog to get groomed here and they do an amazing job, every time! They even have a little slab with fur lengths so you can visualize ideal lengths for the cut. It helps me out A LOT. My pup comes out looking great no matter which groomer he sees. He’s also quite nervous but they take good care of him while he’s there.

This place is amazing. Has Self-Wash Dog Grooming. The Staff very professional and friendly and very clean place.

Ramsey loves Grateful Dog Daycare! His groomer did a phenomenal job! I'm usually very hesitant to try a new groomer because I'm very picky about his cut. I described everything I wanted and I'm very pleased with the result. 😊 …

Cant speak on the daycare, I bring my Abba here for grooming stuff. Good price given the end results, that and my dog has never been uncomfortable here like some other places.

Adventure awaits is beyond amazing! If I could give Jenn and her staff more than 5 stars I would. My dog Capone is so happy to go here he literally pulls me up the steps! Jenn sends me pictures and videos of him and he looks like he’s having a blast. Before I found Adventure Awaits, I took him to another boarding facility and Capones attitude is night and day. He’s so much happier and so well taken care of. It’s such a relief for me that I don’t have to worry about him when he’s here.

Leah LOVES coming to daycare and hanging out with all the other dogs and Jennie. I love getting all the pictures of the pups playing together and hearing about Leah's stories when I come and pick her up! Her confidence has grown so much at Adventure Awaits and it's all because the environment and space that Jennie has created! We are so lucky to have Adventure Awaits take such great care of our girl!! Leah is always begging to go back!!!

My dog has been a frequent flyer of a number of doggy daycares since she was a puppy because we’ve moved around a lot. I can always tell how comfortable and happy she is at a place based on her reaction when I drop her off. To say she’s excited to go to Adventure Awaits every week would be an understatement. She practically drags me around the block and into the lobby the second she knows where we’re going. She always runs straight to the door leading to the play area without a second glance. Knowing how happy and well taken care of she is there makes me excited for the days she gets to go to daycare. Jenn is incredible and so attuned to each dog’s personality. The pictures she sends of the pups are always the best part of my day. My only regret is not bringing my pup here sooner, but we are SO glad to have found this absolute gem of a daycare!

Today was one of Adventure Awaits dog parties. Halloween festivities all day! My dog loved it! She is so tired from all of the fun. My dog and I loved Jenn's previous location and this new location did not disappoint. The lobby is absolutely adorable! Decorated so cute and smells so clean. I always feel so at peace when my pup is in Jenn's hands. She has the whole dog daycare/boarding process perfected. Thanks for being awesome!

I am super over protective with my dog Ollie (probably to a fault), but I felt completely comfortable and safe taking him here! At one point, we really needed help and had to take him to doggy daycare 3/week and it was a great experience! I could tell Ollie had lots of fun. Jen and Amy answered all of my questions and made us feel really comfortable!

Everything about Jen and Adventure Awaits is above and beyond! My dog Zoey adores going and adores Jen and the other great people who work there. Zoey has made so many friends and gets to let all of her crazy energy out :) She has separation anxiety and can't be left at home alone, so Adventure Awaits is her home away from home. I truly don't know what I would do without Jen! Zoey goes multiple times a week and boarded for 2 weeks when I went to Europe over the summer. Jen took her in even though she was very new to the daycare at the time and made her part of the family. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs some help with their pups!

Adventure Awaits is absolutely the best. Jennie is so professional and helps your dogs be the best version of themselves. Our dogs needed some socialization after we started working from home and Jennie was just the expert to help with that. Could not recommend Adventure Awaits more!

After having first play day, Jen said my 6 months old puppy was well with other dogs except he had excessive barking in the crate, but she said it’s something we can work on it, so I purchased 10 full day daycare package, and I dropped off my puppy a couple days after his first play day. Unlike the first trial day, Jen did not send any photos or any update, so I texted her after my lunch asking how my dog is doing. The answer I got was that my dog has been very barky and that she will still work on it. About an hour later Jen texted me back if I could take my dog home because he’s been barking a lot. And she said “In time he will get there with more crate time at home.” Then, I asked her how long she keeps him in the crate. Instead of answering my question, she said “It’s in the crate and out of the crate. Just going to take some time. He’s young :)” My dog sleeps in his crate at night with no problem at home. When I went there to pick him up, I was shocked, and it was heart breaking to see how my puppy looked like. Jen said he was mounting other dogs every 10 min and been barking since he was dropped off, so she put him in the bathroom crate. My dog looked filthy, both of his front legs and face were all wet and looked lost and very anxious. Jen also told me to try other daycare. Since that day, it ruined my dog’s entire night routine. He becomes very anxious and cries in his crate. I attempted to crate train him again, but it ends up bringing his traumatized memory again with uncontrolled diarrhea. Jen is the one who evaluate my dog for entire day during the first “play day” and who accepted him. I understand that he may have been difficult with other dogs because he’s still a puppy without much experience with other dogs around. Instead of isolating him in bathroom crate (which I don’t even know how it looks like because all of the daycare site is all hidden behind the fence), she could’ve given him a little TLC. I decided to take my dog to Adventure Awaits Dog Daycare after carefully reviewing all the reviews, but I regret my decision so much now. You can’t just rely on 5 star reviews until you actually try it. Maybe my dog wasn’t just a good fit there

We love & care very much for our two “fur babies” & who doesn’t. Pete & Cookie are just as you see black & white. One is a large & in charge frenchie & the other is a mix we rescued. Adventure Awaits treats our dogs as they do their own. The one on one care & direct attention to the little’ns allows them to get to know each pups needs & their unique personalities. Our kids love to go & spend time where we & they know they are safe & cared for. Both are always wore out from the play time & interaction with their friends. We will go nowhere else! Side note, they are open from 7 pm -11 pm on weekends. Enjoy a night out downtown & you don’t have to leave the kids home alone!

Adventure Awaits dog daycare is amazing. I don’t trust anyone else with my dog. I drive from the Roseville/rocklin area just so my dog can play and socialize under the supervision of Adventure Awaits. The owner Jennie is beyond knowledgeable and is adamant about providing a safe and fun environment for my pup. Staff treat each dog as if they were their own and I can go to work or do what I need to do without ever having to worry about the well-being of my dog. My pup comes home exhausted and continues his playing and barking in his dreams. He has so much fun as well as getting loved on endlessly. Highly recommend Adventure Awaits dog daycare!

I needed daily dog walking services for my busy work schedule, and this pet sitting service was a lifesaver. The walker was punctual and reliable, providing my dog with much-needed exercise and socialization. The quality of service was impeccable, and the reasonable pricing made it an excellent value. I'm thrilled to have found a trustworthy service for my beloved pet!

Lauren and her crew are amazing! We have a challenging dog. They went above and beyond to make sure our girl felt safe and loved. We are so thankful! Now, we can go away and not worry!

We recently moved to CA and my biggest concern was finding a good overnight boarding facility for our dogs. I was a little worried being that they are so new, but this place has been amazing!! We have used them a couple of times already. I love how we can bring their bedding from home so it can comfort them. It’s so clean, quiet, and the staff are kind. My border collie/blue heeler is a good judge of character and when we can back she was so excited to see one of the staff members. Made me feel like okay, if she gave their stamp of approval then we are gold! I definitely recommend!

As a dog owner, who recognizes the responsibility and dedication required to raise a well adjusted, well socialized, and confident dog, I've tried multiple doggy day cares in the Sacramento area. I realized I could not manage my dog Jack alone; he needs a lot of stimulation, is very attached to me at home and I have other things I need to do- and without the guilt. Doggy daycares range from terrible to amazing and The Bark Park stands out from the crowd. The staff are consistently friendly, helpful, flexible and show genuine interest in Jack and his well being. The place is clean, professional, and well organized. They clearly spent a lot of time in developing processes, finding the right staff, and fully understand every detail that goes into running a doggy day care. Jack is always excited when we arrive, pick up/drop off is efficient, friendly, and positive. I feel really grateful to have found this place and feel valued as customer and hope to continue to be one for a long time to come. This place is definitely a 5 star facility.

We just moved to Sacramento and we are so glad we found the Bark Park. Our great dane needs to socialize a couple of times a week and we have found a great place! We have also boarded him for a night twice now and the staff took great care of our big guy. They have even given us photos and videos of him with his friends. He is happy going and happy when we pick him up. Great staff and very nice facility.

The place is nice and clean. I walked in, and the workers were giving the dogs so much love, and the dogs were not locked up. The lady at the front desk was so nice to me and my dog, her name is Taren ( I think that is how you spell her name). I will be boarding my baby there.

We're always looking for dog daycare for our about to be ten year old dog. Most places are close but not close enough and usually out of our way to get there. When I found out about this place, I was absolutely excited that this place was within walking distance from my house! They're open Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm, and 9am to 5pm on weekends (lobby closed 11:30am to 1pm all week) I'm hoping they expand the hours after business picks up. They just recently opened on February 10th, so they're really new. We were given a tour of the place and got to meet the handler who was watching our dog in daycare. I especially appreciated the behavioral sheet that they asked me to fill out (and won't let me leave without filing it out after drop off) to ensure they get to know him better. Trial day for daycare was free and today, we're off to drop our dog for the second time and also purchase a 10 pack! Oh, and they gave us report card and goodie bag at pick up. Welcome to East Sac, Bark Park!

My husband and I are SO glad we found this daycare! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the facility is kept very clean. I love that they have indoor turf too!

Really Caring Staff!

Great place

River dogs resort is absolutely amazing! I am a bit overly protective of my dog and I never hesitate to leave him at River dogs resort. He can tell when we’re pulling into their driveway and is immediately excited. He gets to play with lots of friendly dogs all day and I never have to worry about how he is doing. The owner, Dina, is a true dog lover and treats all the dogs as if they are her own. She is flexible and always looking out for what will be best for your dog. My dog is an 85 pound German shepherd mix who has lots of energy and he always comes home happy and tired. You should look no further if you want a place your doggo will love.

Our dogs love Dina and being at River Dogs. She treats them like family. She has been flexible with us, and we trust her to care for our dogs

River Dogs is a home-away-from-home for our 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Emma. She is always in a good mood after we pick her up. The owner, Dina, is very good at communication and sends photos during Emma’s stays, which are always appreciated. I would recommend highly recommend boarding your dog here.

River Dogs is considered a second home for my dogs. I have been a faithful client for over two years (2-3 days a week) and have only great things to say. The owner Dina, and all of the other staff at River Dogs ensure that my dogs are safe and looked after, that they have fun and come home tired, and that I have complete peace of mind when they are under their care. The Resort is well maintained, and the location is very convenient. My dogs love Dina, they are always so excited to see her, and I love Dina for always working with me and taking great care of my babies. Consistent, reliable, caring, willing, and professional.

River Dogs is the best! our dog loves it there and the owner is so nice and helpful and loves dogs! our flight was canceled at Christmas and rescheduled for days later after we had already dropped our dog off. River Dogs extended our kennel time so we could spend longer with family and took such good care of her. so helpful and understanding!!!!! will always go there!!!

We’ve been bringing our dog here for the past five years and it’s so nice to have a dependable spot when heading out of town. Our dog loves staying at River Dogs and each time I feel confident that he is well cared for and having fun. He always comes back tired and happy!

Yep, a 5 star review for Dina and River Dog Resort! We needed a last minute fun and safe spot for our 12 yo American Foxhound and were so happy Dina had an opening for Chuck. Shortly after arriving, Chuck was adventurous and tried to escape by scaling a fence but Dina did not let that affect her ability to provide safe and loving care for his stay. Upon our return she told us what happened and figured out solutions for his next stay communicating in a professional, caring and understanding way. We are impressed and highly recommend RDR!

Our boxer Abbey LOVES going to see Miss Dina every week! Abbey always has such a fun time playing with her dog buddies. We also board our dog here a few times a year and always know she will be very well taken care of. River Dogs Resort is such a great location and we will never go anywhere else!

Dina and her staff have been taking care of our two large dogs for about 5 years now! They were always responsive and easy to do pick ups and drop offs. The pups were always well cared for, happy to go(could not wait to get taken back to play!!), and exhausted when we picked them up! We were very sad to move away because it was such a wonderful gift to have found such a caring place for our fur-babies! I recommend them without any hesitation!!!

We have always been a let's-find-a-house-sitter type family. We were in a pinch and River Dogs came to the rescue! We have ditched a house sitter completely now, as our rambunctious golden puppy loves to wrestle and play in their large yard while our small dog hangs out, snuggles and shares kisses with Dina. We highly recommend giving River Dogs a whirl!

Can't say enough good things about Midtown Mutts! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about the dogs they work with. My dog loves the trainers and enjoys coming to class, plus it's a great way to tire him out when the weather is bad. We've been bringing our dog here practically since we got him, starting with the puppy socialization classes and now continuing with weekly classes to reinforce his training and learn new skills. I really appreciate that they offer classes throughout the week on a variety of topics with different trainers, so it never feels stagnant or repetitive. They make dog training both fun and interesting!

Highly recommend the team at Midtown Mutts! As return to office has added more and more days per week, we searched high & low for a reliable dog service. Driving to one of the various doggy daycare options didn’t fit in with our schedule so we were pleased when we found Midtown Mutts. They offer 30, 45 or 60 minute dog walks which enables Georgia to get out of the house mid day to relieve herself or smell a different patch of grass. The staff is fantastic and we love getting the detailed after visit summary. They know Georgia and are aware of her idiosyncrasies.

The Midtown Mutts team walked and took care of our dear dog for almost two years until we had to say goodbye. Even as he aged and his needs were more complex, the dog walkers were always patient and caring (pro-tip: sign up your senior dog for at least the 30 minute walk so neither the dog walker nor your dog feel rushed). Here's a picture of him on one of his numerous walks with the wonderful team, and an especially big thank you to Joanne!

I was enjoying this service with their reports that include pictures and a brief description of the visit until the walker left my back door open on a nearly 100 degree day in a not great neighborhood. My house was unsecured for 4 hours until I got home from work. Would not recommend to others

Cannot say enough great things about Midtown Mutts. We have a 12 year old jack Russell who is a rescue and doesn’t do well with other dogs or boarding. MM comes to our home and takes amazing care of her! Here’s a recent email I sent them: “Just wanted to say a big thank you to your team for taking such great care of our dog, Maggie! She can be a crotchedly little lady and isn’t the easiest to care for sometimes, but I know she warms up to you all whenever you come by for a visit. We have been hesitant to leave her because her health isn’t doing too well, but your team makes it easier! We love how thoughtful the email updates and photos are each visit and know that she is getting amazing care. We especially appreciate the efforts to clean up after her when she spills her water or has an accident in her crate.”

What a WONDERFUL service provider. I have a large Staffordshire terrier rescue that is strong and sometimes reactive to other dogs. Midtown Mutts actually trains their walkers with positive reinforcement techniques. They also have special safety gear to ensure there are no accidental incidents when the dog might get loose and run into traffic or get into a scuffle with another dog. A great system for booking and invoicing and very reliable. I love the photos that I get from the walkers. They are great with dogs providing affection, mental stimulation, and safety. Thank you!

Thanks for taking care of Ichiro (aka churro) while I was in the service. We came by to say hi today while visiting sac but unfortunately you guys were closed. Highest rec for midtown mutts!

Midtown Mutts has been a lifesaver for me. I work long hours in a hospital and always worry about my dog. After doing some research, I found Midtown Mutts. I met with the owner, Cassie, and she was amazing and and made me feel very comfortable. All of the dog walkers that I have had so far are great! They treat my dog like a king! They always refill his water and give him treats! He loves them! I love getting the email everyday with a brief description of the walk and 3 pictures! I would 10/10 highly recommend this company for dog walking.

As a travel nurse, it can be a daunting task trying to find dog care while in a new city. But, I’m thankful to have found Midtown Mutts! I appreciated the email updates after dog walks, and I was spoiled by the flexible schedule Midtown Mutts provides. I was also a fan of how seamless scheduling is via their online portal for clients. Highly recommend. Stormie and I will miss you guys!

Midtown Mutts took care of my cat for 3 days while I was out of town. They sent me daily emails with brief report and pictures after each visit and really gave me peace of mind that my cat is in good hands while I'm gone. They responded promptly to emails and their prices are more than fair. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭

I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!

My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.

I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾

Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.

I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!

We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!

First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.

Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!

They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!

Reliable and totally responsible, Five Stars house and Pet Sitting makes my dog and cat happy when we travel. We’ve used this service for years and everything has been absolutely worry free.

Was assured by owner that staff would respect and secure my home and they did not. Front door was left unlocked while walker was out with my dog and back door left unlocked and open when they left. Staff also forced my fearful dog into a harness before earning their trust, sent me a report photo of her looking extremely uncomfortable in my kitchen. I let them go after four days and would not recommend them to anyone

I have trusted the care of my furry friends to Janet and her team for 16 years now. They have been through a lot with me and my cat crew - saying hello to new furry faces and some goodbyes too. I realize as I begin to think about traveling again, that using Janet and Lucky Buddy to take care of Finn while I am away is critical to me feeling comfortable. When it comes to the pets who depend on me, I have a hard time assuming that "no news is good news", so I really love the daily photos and updates. The staff is really proactive about the pet's comfort, and I know I could count on Janet to do anything needed. That's really important to me when I am out of town and sometimes very far away.

I’ve been having Janet and her team care for my sweet dog Diamond for years. I enjoy the updates they give me via email each time they visit her and I’m away, along with a sweet photo of my dog. I can tell they are people who truly care for animals and I like when they bring attention to any concerns they’ve noticed with her. They have always been accommodating to the schedule that I have and I truly appreciate them.

In a word, amazing! I had a serious medical emergency and was hospitalized with no notice. Janet and the team stepped in the same day and took care of my pup for days until I was able to return home. Thank you Lucky Buddy Petcare!

Janet and her team are really in love with animals. I’ve petsat for friends and colleagues and the overall vibe from this small group of dedicated part-timers is an appreciation of your home and your animals’ comfort in it. They also are mindful of bro gong in packages/mail and watering plants, so bonus. Also, they include pictures and little fun reports on the pets’ “state of mind” Worth it every time.

Janet is awesome and we love being able to rely on her and her team to take care of our fur babe. Thank you for loving him as much as we do!

Daily updates with amazing service.

Ignacio, we appreciate your removing this review from 2018. We haven't taken care of you and I believe you intended this review for another company? Thank you for removing it. Kindly, Janet
