With people like Cinthia and Lionel the world can be a better place!! Both are open minded, very sensitive with all the animals, interested in many things and so w wonderful sitters! Even sick animals are in the best of hands with them. The garden was even cleaned and and all plants super watered.It was an enrichment for me to get to know both of them. Whoever organized Lionel and Cynthia as sitters made the best choice.!!
This was the second time Gideon sat for us. This time he had the 3 cats plus our dog. He’s a lovely person and we enjoy his kind energy. His strengths are he truly cares about animals - he plays with our 2 young cats and cuddles with all 4 pets. He was reliable about taking Sukha for walks and exploring the area. The one thing Gideon sometimes needed reminders on were specific pet food needs or medications. It to his credit, there is a lot to absorb and our digital welcome guide may have had slightly different info than our written guide. I solved that this time with a “cheat sheet” of the various steps for our crew! He’s a kind and loving soul and we’d be happy to welcome him back

Sammy is my precious "Buddy". When life takes me where he can't go, i will only leave him with Sophia (Duke's Pet Sitting). Sophia treats him like i do. She "loves on him" and plays with him. Her attention to his needs is what i like best. I am thankful to have Duke's pet Sitting available!
Sophia is our go-to and preferred pet sitter! She’s extremely professional, extremely responsive, and our pets are always well taken care of. Sophia has watched our cat a couple of times while we were always for long and short vacations. We also recently booked Sophia to walk our dog too! We are grateful to have found her on Rover and can book with peace of mind knowing our pets are in fantastic hands!
Sophia was amazing with our elderly dog. He warmed up to her right away and she took great care of him while we were away from home. We have already booked her again for our next trip. I highly recommend Sophia for your pet sitting needs!
We have been using Sophia regularly this summer to take care of our large dog Nash when we travel and we are so happy to have found her! She is great with Nash, but also very reliable, flexible, and communicates availability quickly. We love getting pics of our pet while he is in her care. She is our first and favorite option and would highly recommend!
Sophia is our go-to sitter when we need to leave the dogs at home. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are taken care of while we are away. She not only takes care of the dogs, but has been great about watering plants when needed and always makes sure our house is safe and secure while we are gone. We get photos during her visits and our dogs are always calm and happy when we get back home!
Sophia is the only pet sitter I use for my two cats. They are scared of anyone else but her and she takes great care of them. She also sends me pics! She is wonderful!!!
Sophia is very dependable and trustworthy and my very anxious dog seems to be warming up to her! Very happy with her and have hired her quite a few times now.
Sophia took care of my two old cats - one who needed special meds. I got text updates/photos every day. I will definitely call Sophia for future pet sitting needs.
Sophia did an awesome job watching our pups while we were out of town- and even sending us pictures. We will certainly use her again!
My bernendoodle Milo had a fantastic time! They were able to take him somewhat last minute, which also totally saved my life. I got consistent updates, and Milo came home happy & tired :)
Was so lucky to have found Stacey! Just moved to the area and was worried about who was going to watch them. Stacey was great, stopped by to get to know the kitties, their schedule and personalities. Stacey also checked in each day with updates and photos. I felt secure knowing they were all taken care of. Looking forward to my next trip knowing I won’t have to worry about them.
Steven & Stacey are the best!! They take such good care of our pup. I love that I get daily pictures while I’m away so I can rest easy that Leo’s having a great time in my absence. I appreciate that there’s options to either board our pup at their home or they’ll make house visits - whatever works best for you. They always make an effort to accommodate, and are incredibly responsive. Thank you endlessly Steven & Stacey!
Our boy Vinz just had his first stay with Stacey and Steven. They were amazing! So patient with our boy since he is still a pup! They sent pictures while we were away and let us know how he was doing throughout his stay. This gave me great peace of mind since it was our first time leaving him. You can see how passionate they both are about animals and love knowing how happy Vinz was. We will definitely be using Pawsome pets again!!
Steve and Stacey are wonderful! They love our pups like their own. They sent daily updates and photos showing their “happy” faces, which put our minds at ease. We can travel knowing our pups are safe and happy and getting the best of care. It means so much to know that they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!!
Steve and Stacey are amazing! They love our pups like their own. We can travel knowing our girls are getting the best of care.
So happy to find an amazing place for my dog close to home. Stacey and Steve are amazing caretakers for your animals. They took great care of my dog, I loved getting pictures, videos and updates daily. My dog came home so happy, clean and well cared for ! The property is well fenced and kept my dog in , she was able to run and explore all she wanted. I loved seeing pictures of her playing with the other dogs, and getting love from Steve and Stacey as well as getting warm by the fire 😎 Highly recommend. They are very affordable.
I am so grateful for Pawsome Pet Services. They have cared for my 3, and now 2 (RIP Miss Roxy), fur babies since 2018. One of my pooches is blind and the other is deaf. Pawsome is especially caring and goes the extra mile to make sure they are both safe and happy. I highly recommend Pawsome Pet Services!
Our miniature poodle stayed at Pawsome Pet Services while we went on vacation. I received daily text updates and pictures which was great. Buddy got along great with the other dogs it was nice knowing that he was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using Pawsome Pet Services again and I am recommending them to our family and friends.
Pawsome Pets is awesome! Like many of us, my dogs are my babies and when they’re at Pawsome Pets, they’re treated like a member of their family! They have full run of the house and yard. I get daily pictures of them playing with other pups or snuggling in the owner’s lap etc. Pawsome Pets allows me to go on vacation without worrying about my babies at all. They think they’re on vacation!!
Pawsome Pet Services is the best! Stacey and Steven are wonderful people who truly love animals. They have welcomed our dog in their home multiple times and he is always excited to see them. It is wonderful to have peace of mind when we travel, knowing our animals are well cared for and loved!
We have been using Auburn Kennels for at least ten years. The animals love it and the care is wonderful.
My dog loves to go to auburn kennels. When I pick her up she always heads back to the door to go back in. She doesn’t want to leave. That makes me feel so good knowing she loves it. The staff is friendly, professional and they love dogs and cats. The kennel is in a beautiful area of auburn, hilly with lots of trees. I wouldn’t leave my pets anywhere else. I would chsnge my plans so my dog could stay there.
Great prideful owners. They take good care of all the dogs and the dog’s areas.
We have been boarding our 2 pointers at Auburn Kennels for 5-7 days at a time over the last several years and have never had a bad experience. The owners are incredibly responsible and easy to get ahold of. Our latest need involved a family emergency on Christmas day. They were willing to arrange a special drop off and accommodated our dogs with only a same day notice in an effort to help us out. So thankful for a place like this that we can rely on without worry.
Auburn Kennels is wonderful!! They treat our dogs so well!! They allow us to travel and know our dogs are being taken care of...
We have been boarding our dog Boomer (my 4th child) with Auburn Kennels since he was about 8 months old and I can honestly say that when he is boarded there, with the amazing, caring staff and other dogs I do not worry about his welfare for one moment! The space is large, they have pools in warmer weather for the dogs to play in, the runs and kennel area are clean and big enough for our 100 lb pup to romp and sleep comfortably. Boomer is excited to go and visit everyone and he is excited to come home and sleep for a day or so after his play date! We highly recommend Auburn Kennels, amazing people and all of the dogs that Boomer plays with are wonderful with him.
Always attentive and friendly with the pets. Service arrangements are so easy After the first visit. My dog is very happy to go there!”
My dog was happy and healthy after a week here! I showed up too early unknowingly and Sylvia helped me out right away anyways. The property is great for dogs :)
I know my dog is treated well and has plenty of room to play and a space to get away from others when needed.. The location is beautifully tucked into the Auburn hills. Heated kennels in the Winter, and swamp cooled int he Summer.
Wonderful place!!! Our dog had so much fun! You can tell the owners care about every animal that comes to their facility. They carefully consider personalities and take great care of them!!!
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!
I can't recommend Always Available Pet Sitting highly enough as a dog sitting service! Rose is incredibly conscientious, timely, and organized, which makes leaving my dog in her care completely stress-free. Her kindness and professionalism shine through in everything she does, and it's clear she genuinely cares about my dog as if he were her own. Rose is a fantastic communicator—she always keeps me updated, which brings me such peace of mind when I'm away. I can travel confidently knowing my dog is in responsible and loving hands. Thank you, Rose, for being such an exceptional caregiver
My cat, Jewel, is very shy and hides from strangers. However, when Rose gently called out to her, rather than run and hide, she remained inquisitive and let Rose pet her. It was then, I knew Jewel would be fine while I was gone. Rose sent me daily updates with pictures. Jewel was well cared for, and I will be using Rose for all my best sitting needs! Thank you Rose for your invaluable service and professionalism.
Rose’s pet care service was most excellent! On very short notice, she responded to my request, had every detail covered for the care of my kitty and had such a professional demeanor, I felt confident in her service. She sent me texts and pictures each day and I can’t say enough about the trust she instilled ! Thanks Rose🌹 …
Rose has been our go-to pet sitter for three years now. We have two large male house cats. Rose provides peace of mind while we are gone, in part because she posts us by text early each morning with a short report on that morning's visit and how the cats are. She also makes written notes on each visit and leaves them for us. She is careful and conscientious and very easy to work with. We have never had a problem with her service and recommend Always Available whole- heartedly.
Rose watched my two boxers for me. It was somewhat nerve wracking having a non family member watch my girls. But Rose is very professional and thorough. During the meet and greet my dogs seemed to settle fairly well with her presence too. She texts a picture and update every day. Would definitely use her again!
I recently used always available pet sitting for a long weekend away from my pet. Rose was fantastic. She was very thorough on what services I should expect & walked me through everything. I received photos of my kitty every day that I was gone & even came home to a very cute thank you card and notes from each day she visited with kitty. Excellent service. I will absolutely be working with Rose again. Highly recommend if you need to head out of town and can't bring your fur babies along for the trip.
Rose was amazing and easy to work with. We never tried pet sitting before so I would text her frequently but she was always so friendly and reassuring . She would send photos and updates. She was also very thorough during the planning process and we would definitely use her again. We are so excited to have found her. Thank you Rose!
Rose was amazing with our animals! She took care of everything and kept us informed our whole trip. Can't recommend highly enough, we will definitely be using her again!
I recently had Rose watch my eight dogs (two large dogs and six small dogs) and my two cats. I was gone overnight and my pets are not used to this. However I am pleased to say that my pets have taken kindly to Rose and they were well taken care of when I was gone. Rose sent text pictures with each of her visits. Unfortunately she had to clean up after one of my dogs but the place was immaculate when I got home. I highly recommend rose for pet sitting and I plan on using her in the future.
We highly recommend Rose, Always Available Pet Sitting. Right from the beginning Rose was organized and business-like, taking note of the names of each pet, the amount of food, times of day to be fed, locations for food, treats, etc. Rose cared for our 4 dogs and cat for 9 days while we went on vacation. She did not hesitate to come an extra day when our flight was canceled last minute. Rose did a lot more than just feed our fur babies. She spent time playing with them as well as watching their behavior to make sure they got along and played together safely. (We have 3 large dogs and a small beagle.) She even called us to make sure we were comfortable with what she saw. She left notes from each day and also texted us notes and photos. It’s clear Rose loves animals and has experience with animal behavior. We felt so much more at ease on our vacation knowing Rose was watching our pets. We will be using Rose’s services again.
Our family hired Amanda to watch our two dachshunds and two rabbits. She is kind, completely understands animal behaviors, and is very punctual. She scheduled a “meet and greet” for our furbabies and set up convenient sitting times. Amanda is trustworthy, professional and friendly to our children and pets. She provided us with a detailed contract that outlined everything for the sitting. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Amanda is amazing, I'm so thankful I found her! I have 3 dog.....the Border Collie can be a little anxious around new people but within a few minutes they were great friends. And my 2 little Chihuahua's love her too! She' very dependable and trustworthy and that is important to me.
We just got back from a trip and even though it was a short trip Amanda was amazing. She communicated each day. My house was left clean and my animals were happy and well taken care of. We have a senior horse who gets special feed and she did everything perfect. I am beyond impressed and recommend The Cointry Sitter 100%
Maggie and Ruger's friends will be missed. We have been coming here for nearly 7 years and will miss all 4 legged dogs on Fridays. Beth, the owner and the employees are by far great. Thank you, ~Dean&Shellie ~SEMPER FI~
Absolutely amazing place for your pup to get some zoomies out! I took my dog here years ago & now with our new pup we needed a place to take her while we are either working or just wanted her to make & play with new fur friends. The staff is awesome & super friendly. The place the dogs with like minded pups as to keep the energy levels even. You can drop off for short periods of time or all day if needed which is nice. After Gizmo's first two days there she was so tired she fell asleep immediately in the car haha My little tasmanian devil was beat! She was so happy an excited. So happy she has some new fur friends to play with there. Definitely recommend
They took good care of our 16 yr old poodle mix. We think they gave her a lot of attention and she loved it! They soiled her!! We will board her with them next time.
Our fur baby LOVES it here and it shows. The excitement she shows when pulling up is insane, they are great with the dogs.
We have a 11 month old berenese and she has been going to Linda, Beth and the staff at uppity ever since we got her. She loves to play with her friends and as sad as it sounds she never wants to leave 🤣 . My dog is well taken care of and loved and its a relief to not worry while I am at work.
My dog absolutely loves the day care. The first couple of visits she was iffy walking in but now she flies out of the car and is so excited to see her doggy and human friends. I don't worry about her at all while she's there.
There's an employee named Max that might look like an Alaskan Bushman somedays. But he's one of those people all dogs like they can tell who's good and who's evil. Plus he's my best friend so I know he's good. Anyway good place if you need dog baby sitter
Friendly staff, veteran discount and I know my dog is safe and happy.
Not recommend unless it’s your very last choice. For daycare: they use big area pens for bigger/smaller dogs which are good but the smell was HORRIBLE. Human can’t stand a second of that smell not to mention your pups. For boarding: the iron small cages they use it’s literally the same as PRISON. They claimed to put quiet dogs and louder dogs in two areas but the fact is the quiet areas are all crazily barking dogs (small&big). The iron cage is very small, and there’s no window, no air, no natural light, and also smell so bad. They are so short of staff. Two people in charge of ~10 daycare dogs, plus ~50 boarding dogs. If you can accept that, then you can choose their cheap price. If not, don’t go.
We boarded our dog here for 2 days/1 night while whitewater rafting in the area. We felt very misled. Our rescue pup is half pit bull and half other things. We had a long conversation with a worker guy here about her play style and told him her breed when we made the reservation. I also sent in the paperwork and her medical records in advance. We were assured that she would get to play with other dogs. We reiterated her play style when we dropped her off and were assured that all was good and the dogs' play was supervised. Then when we picked her up a different older woman told us that our dog didn't even get to play with other dogs at all b/c she was half partially pit bull. Apparently, she only got one-on-one time with humans but never got to play with anyone. If this is the place's policy, they should have told us that when we made the booking or dropped her off and continued to talk to them about play time. Not led us to believe she was getting play time or at least a chance to take a temperament test and see if she got along with the others in boarding. Yet another example of unfounded pit bull discrimination in California. It's fine if that's he facility's policy..that's their choice. But I just wished they would have told us and not made it a surprise at pick up. If we knew this policy, we would have looked for another boarding facility b/c our pup deserves at least a chance to play. A generous 3 stars only since it seems that she was fed properly and returned to us with no injuries and the price is good for the area .
When another local pet resort was shut down with less than two weeks notice I was really in a bind for a last minute kennel for my 3 dogs. Happy Tails and their wonderful owner Tamara to the rescue. She accommodated us in their lovely facility. We received regular updates and my dogs felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend them.
Happy tails has taken care of our dogs many times over the past 6 years, both at our house and boarding at Tamara’s. The care and attention to detail is always there and our dogs tell us this too as they love everyone at Happy Tails! Many thanks from us, and love from our past and present German Shepherds, Luke, Lucy, Gabi, Boomer, and Hank!
Happy Tails Pet Sitting is a life saver. I needed last minute boarding for my two large dogs and Tamara came through and got me set up with an incredible pet sitter. Thank you so much.
LBBI is amazing! Their staff are amazing! My husband and I were so blessed to bring a unique pet, our pet rat, Sumo 🐁, to LBBI for daycare during several hot summer days in August and September. The staff were very accepting of Sumo and were genuinely happy when he was dropped off in the morning. Sumo actually became a little less shy due to his time at LBBI, where I know he was taken care of and paid attention to. Other wonderful things about LBBI: the drop-off and pick-up times. I also very much appreciated the email reminders. I can’t recommend this business highly enough! I would give more than 5 ⭐️ if I could!!!
We love Loomis Bed and Biscuit. I appreciate that they require a meet & greet, evaluation, and (complimentary) half day before accepting your dog to the LBB family. My dog Turkey can a bit nervous and sometimes needs a slower introduction to warm up to high energy dogs or strangers. But LBB not only separates dogs based on size, but also energy level. Although my dog was nervous entering the facility his first time, he instantly loved all the staff. And now he happily enters the building and is a happy pup when I pick him up. I also genuinely appreciate that they accept dogs based on their behavior, and not just their breed 💙
My dog always comes home happily exhausted from playing all day at daycare. I've only used their boarding option once, and it was so wonderful to have my mind at ease. They sent me photos and told me how my dog was doing. Every time I drop him off, the staff is so sweet, and my dog is so excited to be there! We love the biscuit so much that we make sure it's part of our household budget.
I’ve been taking Addie (my Australian Shepherd) to Bed and Biscuit for several months. Jason, Logan and the other team members at B&B are absolutely the best. They provide dog daycare services and Addie is so happy playing there 3/4 days a week. I trust them 100% with Addie.
My Golden Retreiver LOVES coming to Loomis Bed & Biscuit! He gets to play with dogs his size all day while I'm at work. This facility is set up well! Big dogs with big dogs and small dogs with small dogs. They have a great outdoor area for them to run and play and inside is a big open area where he plays as well! I Like the fact that they screen every animal before they are accepted, so my sweet Golden Retreiver doesn't have to deal with aggressive dogs! The staff greets me with a smile everytime I come in. I occationally have him boarded overnight and its really comforting to know someone is there overnight with him. He doesn't have to be in a kennel overnight until someone gets there in the morning like alot of other boarding facilities do. I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff! My dog comes home "happy tired" and can't wait to go back the next day! From one picky dog owner to the next I highly recommend this place!
Perfect place to bring your dog for daycare. Inside airconditioned on couches and playing with other dogs. We use all the time!
Amazing business. Very kind and friendly staff. Our dog is sooo excited every week to go to doggy day care and see his friends. Couldn’t ask for a better place for our dog to go to.
Aunt Cynthia's was a godsend when I needed them most. I had looked at various kennels for my two large dogs (50 and 75 lbs), but did not like the idea of them being kept in a small room or worse, a cage, for my 2-week vacation. Instead, I had a relative come stay at my house. That didn't turn out well when the AC broke in 109F heat and the relative was called into work for the entire 2 weeks. My pups had to sit in blistering heat in their kennels for 9 hours a day until the AC was fixed - which took nearly a week (but that's another review). To top it all off, we had a medical emergency while on vacation and no one could pet-sit for the extra 3 weeks we spent in the hospital. Enter Aunt Cynthia's. I called and let Aunt Cynthia's know my situation and that I was flying home for 1 day, then turning around and flying back to be at the hospital. They were able to get me an evaluation appointment during my availability window and we were set. I was unsure how long I would be gone, so I paid for 2 weeks. It turned out to be 3 - and the staff at Aunt Cynthia's was understanding and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing. When I picked up my dogs, they were excited to see me, but they really just wanted to go back and play with their new "friends". For them, it was like having the comfort of home combined with the fun of a dog park. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. I feel comfortable leaving my fur children in the care of Aunt Cynthia and her team.
My girl Willow has been going here since a puppy. It’s the only place she likes almost as being home. LBBI you’re the best!!
No crating. They have rooms for the dogs to play in bSe on there size and energy. Someone is there 24hrs a day. I feel my dogs are well taken care of at bed and biscuit. They have grooming too!
