Allison was a wonderful host! She was very communicative and provided detailed instructions via the Welcome Guide. We are grateful for her generous hospitality being flexible with her dates and allowing a family member to stay with us. Our time at Allison's home was memorable. We enjoyed her spacious balcony, kitchen and grill. It was also a pleasure to be able to let the cats outside with us! Her home is close to many options for public transit and free parking. She was also mindful enough to leave space for our belongings in the bathroom and bedroom. Pickle and Pringle are two sweet hearts. Pringle was comfortable with us right away. He greeted us at the door, asked for lots of love, play and outdoor time. Pickle is a bit shy and needed a few days to warm up to our presence. When he did, dynamics changed and he became our shadow, turning into a cuddly lap cat. Play time is a thrill with these two. Pickle absolutely loves when you hook the spring toy on the wand and Pringle has the hops like no other cat. They are both extremely smart, well behaved and adapt quickly to your lifestyle. We were amazed at how fast Pringle learned the 'paw' trick for treats! We'd absolutely sit for Allison and her loveable cats again!
Ok, at first I was a little nervous about keeping a large doberman, I thought I'd play it cool and maybe just make sure not to get in his face - OH GOSH NO, Blue is the cuddliest, sweetest baby you have ever met in your life! He'd sit in your lap if he were small enough (and half does anyway.) I was kissing his face in no time. I did appreciate that he (usually) slept while I worked during the day, or I was letting him out, or Buddy in, in their eternal quest for treats. Most evenings, I was on the couch with Blue on one side and Mimi cat on the other, or with her by my head. Mimi will definitely let you know when she's hungry, usually about an hour before she *ought* to eat, but that's usually a good time to get some petting in. I will say the only time Blue's 100 pounds comes into play is on our morning walks - he does pull a bit, and it's possible one of my arms is now a touch longer than the other, but he was never out of control and always responds to stop or wait when a car comes by or I need to readjust. And the more walks we took, the better he was. As for the house - what a neat place! I love that the brothers have houses next to each other and I love the reclaimed/rainwater system! It's always so cool to see something new in a house and I was fascinated. Otherwise, it's super comfortable to cook and relax in - and I tended to sit at the dining room table to work, so I could look out the window at all the beautiful birds! The area is really nice - verging into the hill country with lots of wineries and breweries around. Scott & Steve can tell you exactly where to go - I really enjoyed the Ghost Note right next door. And Dripping Springs is nice - there's a small main street one road back from the main road, and I really liked Rolling in Thyme & Dough, a coffee shop and bakery near the main road. Buda is also super cute and about 30 minutes east of Dripping Springs. And while this sit feels farther away from Austin than my previous three Austin-area sits, it was actually closer! I enjoyed not having to drive for an hour everywhere I went. All in all, I really enjoyed this sit - it was so quiet and relaxing! I'd come back to snuggle with Blue and Mimi any time.
Sally and Brian welcomed us with a lovely meal the evening before they left. Their home is very comfortable and in a beautiful location. Lots of wildlife visiting the garden and in the fields. Jambo was a delight, obedient and well trained. He has the most lovely nature and is always up for a walk. A 5 star sit. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, hopefully we are.
I had a great sit with Kari and Keith. Their condo is in a great location with easy access to trails, shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores. Mt. Sanitas is about a ten minute drive which offers a quick solid hike. Dunkel and Nisha are fun to hang out with. Dunkel has the cutest meow I think I have ever heard. He loves being pet and will let you know when he wants more head scratches. Nisha is quieter but still enjoys head scratches and playing with shoelaces or crinkle toys. Kari and Keith are easy to communicate with and are responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. I would not hesitate to recommend this sit or stay again!
Finn and Sawyer are the cutest, and Amanda’s place is so cute and at a great location! Would love to stay there again
It was a pleasure to look after Maud and Cedric who were both easy and delightful. Peter and Wendy are generous handover hosts. We enjoyed a warm welcome and delicious supper and loved living in their barn conversion, which is close to all the best of North Norfolk and yet private, secluded and rural. We’d very happily return, if asked.

They take great care of my cats while I’m traveling. I’ve had many different pet sitters through them and all of them have been great. I recommend them wholeheartedly!
My business uses them all the time, they are always on time and super nice! I would definitely recommend.
Great with my fur baby. Very dependable.
Awesome 🤘 …
Thank you!
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!
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 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.
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.
Awesome!!!! Spectacular....Visit it!!!
Fit N Furry is Lucy Loo’s home away from home. She loves her play days with friends and comes home all tuckered out. She also enjoys her sleepovers and we rest easy knowing she’s in the best of hands when we are away. Lucy Loo is a rescue from Mexico and gets very anxious around strangers. Her people friends at Fit N Furry treat her with such love and care. Can’t say enough good about the people and the place. They also have lots of fun events for the various holidays. We LOVE Fit N Furry.
We recently got a puppy and had to start over with a vet, training, and day care/boarding once in a while. We heard about FNF through a friend and gave them a try when we went to Disneyland. Our 6 month old Aussie Doodle isn't trusting of everyone. He definitely felt comfortable with the people at FNF immediately. It made a huge difference for us. We didn't have to worry about him. We got to enjoy the trip. They sent us pictures of him and updates the whole trip. It really put our mind at ease. He was well cared for and we could tell he wasn't stressed out etc. We will be continuing to give our business to FNF, even though there are other places that are more convenient and closer to us. Worth the drive 100% *Picture attached is one of the pics they sent to us as an update.
My big, deaf-from-birth, formerly stray dog thrives at FitnFurry. He was traumatized on the street as a pup and has issues with people and dogs, but at Fit he gets individualized attention, solo play in special sessions, and great care! The staff are terrific and he loves going there to stay.
It has been just about 3 weeks since we picked up our precious Lab Hope after her 18 day boarding/training course and her transformation has been amazing! This was a frightened timid and shaking dog that hid behind us when we arrived for her free consultation. We were assured that she would gain experience, confidence and skills while under their care. We journeyed of to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and received pictures and ongoing details of how her training was progressing. Today, the moment of truth came for us when we had visitors in our home, strangers to her. She laid down calmly, never barked, never got worked up, and when I put her on her leash to go for a walk, she sat calmly as she observed the strangers with not one ounce of negative fear or reaction. We went for our walk and she returned home just as calm as can be, all while my brothers dog barked uncontrollably at the strange voices. Marie has done a phenomenal job with Hope, and on her return visit, she was just as happy as can be returning to see Marie and her friends that she made at Fit & Furry. I have already referred several friends to Fit and Furry and I highly recommend their training courses. The transformation is so worth it! I was fortunate to be able to plan in advance and make payments prior to the training so that it was much easier to manage the cost of training, but I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you Marie and staff on behalf of Hope and our grateful family! You are one in a million!!! Hope thinks so too!! Here is a picture of Hope and her little friend Sasha who was also once shy and Hope helped her to come out of her shell. Just Amazing Hope!!!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fit ‘N’ Furry is. My dog loves going to daycare, the groomer is excellent as well as the training staff. I have boarded my dog multiple times at Fit ‘N’ Furry because they take such good care of my dog. The training staff are always available when I have questions and they are absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend taking your pet to Fit ‘N’ Furry for all their services!!
Wanted to start our new pup with a good daycare, lodging experience. Went to puppy play - well managed and then to lodging. Our girl is happy to meet all her new friends and played out by the time she comes home. They even gave her a bath after she got too messy! Loving Fit n Furry- hope your furball feels that same!
We adopted a Dachshund mix puppy. We boarded him at Fit 'N" Furry and the service and care he received was excellent. The facilities are clean while the staff is welcoming and professional. In addition to boarding him, we engaged their trainer, Marie, to work with him. She not only trained him, but she trained us. She was insightful as to what our puppy’s needs were, the breed characteristics, developmental stages, etc. Our dog is now a 1 year adolescent and she continues to provide us with evaluation, problem solving, and setting expectations and goals. Marie is an outstanding, thoughtful, experienced, and caring professional. We strongly recommend.
Our dog Luna had a great time at Fit N Furry. We had to board her for the first time while out of town and she had a blast playing with the other dogs! She was provided house kibble and treats and we felt like she was in good hands. We even got a picture sent to us during her stay. The staff is friendly and professional. We will be back for sure!
We cannot recommend Fit n Furry’s training program enough! Marie has been our savior in getting our pup to actually be a member of the family and not just a little monster all the time. We continue to bring our dog in for daycare and the staff is always super friendly and helpful and our dog loves to go! If your dog is a little monster like ours was, fit n furry is the place to go!
I was very impressed by Fit ‘N’ Furrys customer service, and doggy day care’s staff and trainers. They were warm and welcoming every step of the way. When I came to pick up my pup after her first day of day care I was presented with a professionally taken photo of her (it is by far the best photo I have of her!) and a report card that was thoroughly filled out to inform me of my pups mood throughout the day in addition to handwritten notes on her actual performance throughout the day. I highly recommend!
Sid is GREAT! My dog Poppy has had daycare with Sid 2-3 days a week for 3 years and occasionally overnight boarding. It is wonderful to see how Poppy lights up when she sees Sid, and I always feel she is in great hands, safe and active with playmates in a small group setting. Sid is conscientious, organized and in a terrific location. Highly recommend!
My dog has been boarding and going to day care with Sid for over two years. I feel much more secure with Sid than any kennel. Going to Sid’s is great for us. I never have to worry and she always keeps me posted my baby girl’s day. As a person Sid is wonderful. I am so glad we found her.
Sid is a true doggie whisperer. My puppy Fluffy loves her and felt comfortable right from the start at her houseboat. She has taken excellent care of him when we had to go on longer trips and kindly sent happy photos of him while we were away. This is very reassuring to my young son who was very worried especially the first time we left him in Sid’s care. She has given me some great dog training advice! I cannot more highly recommend her services. Enjoy!
My dog loves going to Sid’s house. She pulls at her leash with happy anticipation as we make our way along the dock to Sid’s beautiful houseboat. Sid has a calm, loving energy towards pets and their people. She is prompt in her communications and always send updates and photos of my dog frolicking with the other guest pooches. An experienced sitter and trainer Sid has saved me mountains of worry during various medical treatments when I could not care for my dog properly. What a relief to know that she is safe and well cared for. I am grateful and highly recommend Sid Tarlow as an experienced and loving pet sitter. S.E. Alexander San Francisco
My friend Sid has been caring for, boarding, and training my dogs for more than ten years now, and my spouse and I trust her completely with them. In the early years it was our Labrador Retriever, Della and my little mixed-breed, Archie, and their behavior and mood was so fantastic when we'd pick them up, I wondered how Sid did it. It's love. She now has our Chihuahua/Daschund mix, Cocoa whenever we go out of town, or need just an overnight. With pets, Sid is especially attentive to their needs, trains them in sociability and keeps them safe. Cocoa is always happy to be with Sid. We are very grateful to her for all her care, reliability, and talents. Thank you, Sid!
There is no person I trust more with my sweet pup than Sid, and no person my pup would rather be with! The level of care and peace of mind she provides is truly outstanding. Not only does she love my dog as her own but her expertise in dog training was so helpful during the early months with our puppy. We were lucky enough to call Sid our neighbor as well and each time we passed her house our dog would try to drag us there to see her! It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands when we can’t be with her. Thanks Sid!
Sidney is so responsible, kind, and affectionate with our Labradoodle, and we fully trust her with him whenever we travel.
Very responsive and kind staff. We used Planet Canine for 2 days while traveling and working in Bay Area. Our dog was comfortable and had good time.
Our dogs love Planet Canine!! The owner and staff show incredible kindness and care towards all their canine companions! After trying a few kennels in the area, we are so glad our neighbors recommended this gem! It’s hard for us to leave my furry family members when we go out of town, but we know that they are well taken care of at Planet Canine and get plenty of time to socialize and run around.
Allow me to begin by saying that I am extremely protective of my 3 1/2 year old Sheepadoodle, Elio. I don't have children, so my dogs become in a sense my "children". I think some of you can relate to that. I have been bringing him to Planet Canine since he was a young puppy 4-5 days every single week for daycare. I would not be such a dedicated and loyal customer of Planet Canine if I didn't trust the staff and facility implicitly. I pulled him out of a nearby competitor before coming to Planet Canine because of a mishap that occurred between Elio and another aggressive dog, so I wouldn't hesitate to do the same if Planet Canine weren't a top level business. Every member of the staff care deeply and genuinely about every dog they welcome to daycare and boarding. They don't accept just any dog, but put each through a behavioral analysis before accepting them. They even have an outdoor space, unique to doggie daycare facilities that are in the heart of a city (as opposed to in the country). So what if you have to make an appointment to tour the facility? That way they can plan around their daily routines for caring and overseeing the dogs. It gives me tremendous comfort to know that my dog is their top priority when under their supervision and responsibility. He can't wait to get out of the car every morning to run into Planet Canine which says everything I need to know about what goes on behind the scenes. And imagine how may day is lifted when I'm at work and I receive a video of Elio having the time of his life playing in the courtyard! I would not write this review if I didn't stand by every word I've written. Thank you Steve, Jordan, James, Ian, and the rest of the amazing staff at Planet Canine for loving Elio.
Planet Canine is my dog’s home away from home . Sully was lonely and was experiencing separation anxiety . I interviewed numerous places and I feel fortunate we found Planet Canine . He attends daycare Monday through Friday . Steve, James and Jordan are amazing people . I have no doubt they love Sully and have become part of our family . Sully’s anxiety has decreased and he adjusted well .How do I know ? As soon as I turn into the driveway he is so excited . He can’t go inside fast enough . Thank you so much for helping us . You are our hero’s .
Great experience! Staff was so nice and easy to communicate with. My 2 dogs stayed for 10 days. They came home healthy, happy and tired.
I have left my dog in their care several times here during the past year! He always comes back fairly clean and on a relaxed mood. They separate bigger dogs from smaller ones, but also separate high energy dogs from more chill/ lower energy ones. They constantly will send video updates of my dog every 2-3 days overall I would recommend it!
Friendly staff. That’s their blessing. Update: They are very disorganized. You speak to one person & get an answer. And a day later you get a completely different answer from a different person. They were completely unaware of each time I dropped off my pups. They also leave your dogs unattended for extended periods of time. How do I know this? My pup, now 1 years old is apparently not allowed back to their facility because she dug up their turf. Really? The only times she ever does this is when she is left alone for more than a couple of hours. I have an older dog that wasn’t really a fan of staying there. Not sure what kind of care they truly provide behind closed doors. Btw, when we picked up our pup we were told everything was great until the next time we tried to book & were told no because the owners couldn’t allow her back to rip up their turf more… thank you.
Had to find a new kennel for the 4th of July holiday after my regular one closed unexpectedly, and chose Planet Canine based on reviews I read online. I am beyond satisfied with the facilities, the staff, and how much my pup enjoyed his stay. I liked that the application was detailed, the facility tour was thorough, and the staff experienced. Will definitely board my dogs here again.
Hands down the best doggie daycare in Marin County. The ONLY place my dog is excited about going to. She used to go to other doggie day care places in Marin County. She was always unhappy to go to them--we often had to bribe her with treats to even get out of the car--and incredibly happy when we came to pick her up. At Planet Canine, she is actually EXCITED to go there! It's the best feeling to know your pet is not only being taken care of, but LOVED. Highly, highly recommended.
Our dog absolutely loves it here, great people!
I took my dog here and wasn't notified he was injured I paid 250 to them and then another 200 to the vet. My poor boy is now in a cone and antibiotics. I would ask for my money back but I highly doubt they would.
The front desk is awesome. They’re super friendly and helpful. They are very thorough in making sure your fur babies get the care they need. I can’t tell much about how the other pups enjoy it but, I’m happy to say my pup is so excited to arrive she can barely hide her excitement. She runs to the employees and can’t wait to play with the other pups. Thank you for being there for my pups. My older pup is a little more reserved but that’s because he hates being away from us. I only wish they could send updates or pictures as to how the fur babies are doing.
Best. Place. Ever. Always bring my pup to Postmore Kennels to get her nails trimmed. They’re great! Super gentle, quick and efficient! A+ 🐕 🤗 🐾 …
My dog has the worst separation anxiety so finding him a place that makes him feel comfortable is important to me. I found that with Postmore Kennels, the staff if very friendly and personable. If you're looking for an affordable and local day care this is the place!
We took our rescue border collie for a grooming. His fur was so matted. Henry did an amazing job!!
I want to give a big shout out to Postmore Kennels a true Bed and Breakfast for our four legged family members. We have been using Postmore for over 15 years and there is no way we could take a vacation without them, the care and loving atmosphere puts us at ease while we are away. It's just like a vacation for them as well! Mark & Patty Wright
Excellent staff. We’ve been taking our puppy here for many months and she is always happy when we pick her up. Excellent grooming and playtime.
Lovely, patient and dog-loving staff. They’re great. My dogs love it. I do wish they had a bigger outdoor play space for the small dogs but, overall, I feel good about leaving our dogs here.
Are you serious? I just popped in and got my puppies toenails cut for just $5!!!! Their prices are great, super friendly staff and knowledgeable groomers. They're very good with my babies. Very gentle. A little hard to find, but boy am I glad I found them
A wonderful place for my pup to play! The staff is friendly, engaging, and truly cares about creating a safe and fun environment for the best possible doggy daycare experience.
We've known Stacey at All My Love Pet Care for many years and the name of her business says it all. Use Stacey for dog walks, daily visits, or pet sitting, and your pet will receive lots of attention and loving care. Stacey is reliable and professional. She's on time and we have always felt our dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend her!
