Pet Sitters in Oleander, CA

Incredibly beneficial training! Our dog was highly distracted and wouldn’t listen to our commands. Daniel’s training has made it so much more fun to take her anywhere with us. She is more disciplined and responsive. Daniel was honest with what we can expect and was very invested in her progress. We recommend him to all our dog parent friends.

We rescued Lilac our 2 year old GSD this past August. There was no history on her and she had been at the shelter in for 2 months. She loves people and other dogs. She is very sweet but had jumping issues, is high energy, and had lots of anxiety. She would follow us every minute of the day. She would walk and pull us and wouldn’t even walk in a straight line. Lilac was with Daniel and his team for 4 weeks. They are miracle workers. She is much more confident. She follows commands. She clearly has a lot less anxiety. She walks with us. Daniel & his wife sent great updates with pictures and videos. He spent plenty of time with us at pick up going over everything so we can continue working with her at home. We are grateful that after lots of research we found Daniel and his team.

Trusting Daniel and committing to the training program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Daniel and his trustworthy team completely transformed my dog Oscar from reactive to obedient and comfortable around other people. I highly recommend his training service and dog boarding to anyone with a dog.

I just want to say what an absolute decent, selfless and professional Daniel is. He came by and showed me a few important things and told me that my puppy didn't to be board and trained. That I should do what I'm doing now and if I need him to board and train her in three months or so, he would. He literally told me to save my money, that he's not about. During my meeting with him, I could tell he loves what he does and he is a WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AS A TRAINER AND CARES ABOUT OUT PETS. Just a fantastic guy. Thank you so much David. I hope to see you again.

Super legit, send your dogs and enjoy life w/ur pets. We have two doodles, both rescues -- 10 yr old doodle we got 5 years ago who was never great, had HUGE issues with stealing and aggresive behavior with resource guarding....we were able to manage, but once we added a 2nd dog and had a baby...our life was getting awful....constant battles, things getting destroyed, torn up.....barking at everything and we had terrible nonexistent control with them.....definitely not a safe enviornment for a new baby.....we tried multiple in person trainers at home for a year and eventually decided on a board and train. Daniel and his team were able to work with both of them via the 6 week boarding program and the changes have given us a HUGE improvement in our life. Now we can quickly recall them, walks aren't full of stress, and guests can finally come over again without them going bonkers/barking like crazy nonstop and trying to steal everything in sight. If we have guests that are afraid of dogs, we can send them to a bedroom or laundry room and they'll happily hang out without scratching up the door and walls like maniacs trying to get out.....they're calm, happy and enjoying life! The follow up support is 100% there, Daniel has been incredibly kind in answering questions, offering continued guidance, and helping us maintain the skills the dogs have picked up. Highly recommend it -- If we got these kind of results for two dogs who had years of bad habits and lack of supervision/training and reverse them to obedient, happy dogs....he can def make it work for your dog. It's a big commitment, i know....but absolutely worth it. Highly highly recommend.

I took my 7 month old golden doodle to Paws and Stay for a 3 week program. We are Amazed with the results. We now can take our dog out to dinner with no worries. Off leash and on leash I have a new dog!! If I could give you 10 stars I would!! Special shoot out to Brittany, you could see how much my dog loved her by the videos!! Super Happy all the way around!!!

We left our 6 month old Pup with Daniel and his company for their 2 week board and train. Daniel and his trainers took amazing care of our little guy and he came back a new pup! They constantly sent updates with pictures and videos of his development. Amazing work! Daniel answered all of our questions we had. We truly appreciate his honesty. We highly recommend Paws and Stay K9 Training for all board and training.

Daniel and his crew are as good as it gets! We rescued Marlowe (Australian Cattle Dog mix) and she needed a lot of work before we brought home a new human baby! Daniel came to our rescue. He communicates well, is extremely accommodating, and most of all is an outstanding dog trainer. It is evident that he cares deeply about the dogs, their success, and their owners. Marlowe came back to us a whole new dog. We are absolutely shocked at how well behaved she has become. She is still sweet and loving but no longer fearful, reactive, and out of control. She knows and follows her commands with ease. We are now so excited for our future with Marlowe. Thank you Daniel and crew! Highly highly recommend!

Daniel and his team have been amazing, we enrolled our 6 year old pit bull into the 4 week training program earlier in the year to teach him commands and social skills with other animals. We were very pleased with the results and the continued support after the training. We’ve also sent our pup back to Daniel for boarding while we were on vacation for a week. If you’re looking for a training program for your dog that works, don’t hesitate to call Paws and Stay, I highly recommend.

Daniel is amazing!!!!! He trained my sweet Australian Cattle Dog, Rue, back in 2020. He sent videos/pictures/updates daily on her progress. To have the freedom of taking her anywhere -Off Leash- is the best feeling!! I get compliments constantly on how well behaved she is. In November of 2021, Daniel boarded her while we were on a trip, and even had her involved in training with other dogs. She had the best time meeting new friends! For me, I was put at ease knowing Rue was with someone that cared for her as if she was his own, AND kept up on her training! We all know too well how when we leave our babies with someone who lets stuff slide, we come home to a mess! Not with Daniel! He’s incredibly patient and has a true love for dogs. He understands how to get through to them and turns them into very calm, confident, pups with zero anxiety! As a dog mama, I am so happy I found someone who could give all these things to my baby girl. I recommend this company to anyone! Very well worth it in every way!

When we moved cross-country, new-in-town and found ourselves with four unexpected cats, we were worried about finding a cat-sitter when we'd go back to visit family. We found Toby's Pet Care online and Eddie has been so great! We've been using this service for over a year now. Always quick and friendly communication (love getting pictures while we're away!), we're very grateful to have found him

Eddie always does a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. He is reliable and sends daily updates. If one of them is sick or needs special attention, he makes sure to communicate all the necessary information. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

I started working with Eddie in early 2024 for cat sitting services and he has been incredible. I'm out of town quite often for work trips and needed someone reliable to watch my three cats. He's always extremely responsive and professional. I also love the easy to use online portal as well as the the daily pictures he sends of each pet. I'd highly recommend using Toby's Pet Care!

I am so thankful that we found Eddie at Toby's Pet Care! We have used this service for our cat several times over the past year and have been completely satisfied with how Eddie follows our directions for her care, he communicates promptly and thoroughly, and shows kindness and insight into what her needs are. The fees are very reasonable and our home security is a priority. I recommend Eddie at Toby's Pet Care with great confidence.

I needed care for my 2 dogs and was excited about Toby’s when I read the wonderful reviews. I filled out all of the paperwork online but never received a callback or any response. I waited for a couple of weeks and called but was only able to leave a voicemail. I never heard from anyone from Toby’s. Perhaps they were full and couldn’t accept any additional clients. I have no idea. I would have appreciated a callback or at least an email however, that didn’t happen.

I highly recommend Eddie with Toby’s Pet Care. We have 2 senior dogs that need special care. At the Meet and Greet our dogs immediately accepted Eddie without barking. It was evident Eddie had read my profile of both dogs and asked appropriate questions regarding their care. My husband & I looked forward to receiving updates and pictures from every visit. These small gestures reassured us that our precious pets were receiving great care. His website and Pet Portal is easy to use. We will definitely use Toby’s Pet Care again.

Eddie has been looking after our 2 rabbits whenever we're away for a couple of years now. He's always very communicative, thorough, and sends us updates and photos of the bunnies. We've loved our experience with him and would recommend him to anyone else with small critters who need looking after.

We have been working with Toby's Pet Care since we moved to the area in 2018. From the start, our sitter, Eddie, has been courteous, caring, and comforting - for us AND for our cat! We receive pictures during each visit that show how contented our cat is with Eddie's visits, and we never have to worry about the cat's loneliness or health while we're away. We don't travel too often, but when we do, Toby's Pet Care is our go-to for cat sitting. We're always grateful to have found them!

My family is new to the Fresno area and when we were planning a vacation, we knew we wanted someone to look after our cats in their natural environment instead of boarding them. After a period of researching our best option, we decided to trust our cats care with Toby’s Pet Care Services. Initially, we were nervous about having a stranger in our home, but Eddie made us feel very comfortable at the meet and greet. As for the remainder of his time with our two cats, he surpassed our expectations! Receiving daily photos and updates, not only about our cats, but about mail we had received and the condition of our home was reassuring and helped us to enjoy our time away from home knowing our fur babies were in great hands! I highly recommend Toby’s Pet Care Services to anyone looking to leave their pets in great hands while away.

I highly recommend Eddie with Toby's Pet Care. The process was perfect as I would not expect something fast and simple when it comes to caring for my 2 dogs. Signing up, requesting a meet and greet with my two dogs at our home. All the required information and daily routine of my two dogs. Eddie was very accommodating especially as my surgery was a rapid thing and family wasn't able to care for my dogs. I got updates and pictures of my two dogs every visit Eddie made to check on and feed my dogs 3 times daily. Eddie followed care instructions to a T and both my dogs enjoyed Eddie caring for them.

The only place we trust to take our pup while we’re out of town! She’s a golden retriever and gets so much love and attention there. I also send her to daycare and the photo events. She loves it!

We recently said good bye to our beloved dog Barkley. He spent lots of time at Elaine’s through his life of 16 years. We knew he was cared for and treated like their own dog. I even got updates when requested! I would weigh in before his “vacationsl and after, never lost or gained a pound. You can’t ask for kinder and better folks to watch your pet, be it for a few days or weeks. Thank you Elaine’s for the many kindnesses throughout his life. Adele and Tom Graves

My 5 month old Goldendoodle LOVES Elaine’s and so do I. The staff is beyond courteous and always loving. I have zero concerns dropping off our fur baby because I know he is well loved. When I pick up our dog from play sessions or boarding he misses Elaine’s as we drive away. I highly recommend Elaine’s.

Our Dogs loved their stay at Elaines Pet Resort. They practically dragged us in the building on our drop off day! They had a meet & greet a couple of weeks prior. We picked them up after a 10 day stay and they were perfectly healthy and happy!! I highly recommend!

Is Elaine's pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. We've boarded our dogs at a lot of places over the years, and Elaine's is easily the best place we've ever used. At our previous boarding facility (which shall remain unnamed), our escape artist dog managed to climb out of the kennel (8-foot tall chain link fence siding) and was almost hit on a nearby busy road. No worries about that at Elaine's. They provides playtime, lots of love, and the dogs come home happy, tired, and clean. The price is far cheaper than an expensive emergency vet visit, and we get regular updates on the pups.

We had our puppy at Elaine's for 10 days for obedience training. The training was fantastic, and our puppy came home a much better puppy‼️👍 …

I've taken my dog here multiple times throughout the last few years. I really like the staff and my fur baby seems happy to stay. They sometimes give you a photo or a grade card which is really cute. The grade card shows all of the activities she's done and how she's behaved along with some written notes from staff. I pay a little extra for the pool package because my fur baby loves to swim. Staff called me today to let me know that one of her nails was broken and bleeding a little bit. More than likely happened when playing. I appreciated the phone call to keep me informed of how she was doing. The first time I took her there I called to check on her and the staff was very helpful. Whenever we go on a vacation and cannot take her we always bring her to Elaine's.

Best place for your furry friend to enjoy socializing. Staff friendly & they truly care for your pet. My Sofie has a home away from home. Thank You Elaine's

Had my cat boarded here. Like the spaciousness of the kennel, that there are windows to see the yard, and they even let him roam the cat room sometimes. Really happy with the experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This was the first time boarding my dog. She has very special food requirements and isn't exactly a social animal. Elaine's nailed it! They took great care of her and I am so grateful. I am definitely going to use them again and again. My little dog had the 'celebrity' package and I consider it to have been a great value. The only thing I would like to see in the future is a live cam or at least daily pix or videos sent to email or text.

Britt is awesome! First time using her for 2 dogs and both came back clean, normal and happy. I only mention "normal" because I've used other people and my dog has come back dirty, fatigued and just seems off. Not this time. It was almost like I never left. Britt also communicated with me the entire time and she was easy to set up services too and also drop off and pick up easily as well. I will definitely be using her again. VERY PLEASED!!!!

I am posting this so others are aware. There were over what seemed like 25- 30 dogs or more staying there in the house when we picked up our dog. Some in cages in the garage with other dogs running around the garage then dogs runnings everywhere over the house. I don’t think Beitt lives there but visits and her son lives there. This was not the walking and dog park and attentive situation promised.. instead it was a tale of overcrowding, individual neglect and lack of peace for the dogs and digs having to defend themselves from dozens and dozens of other dogs. Our dog came back exhausted, hungry. Beitt would do better to just have a few dogs. I am not sure this is even legal to have that many dogs

We found Britt by searching for a place that could watch our dog for 2 and a half weeks while we went out of the country. We wanted more 1:1 attention for Winnie than she could get by staying at PetSmart or Elaine’s. I am happy to say that Britt and her son were amazing and helped ease any concerns about leaving Winnie for such a long time. They even sent us a few videos of her while we were away. Anyway, I would recommend Britt in a heartbeat to anyone that needs a place for their dog for a short or long-term stay! Definitely bringing Winnie back to Britts for our next vacation!

Britt is amazing! She has taken my two dogs over night multiple times and she is so great with them. I have two BIG dogs and they’re a handful. She handles it like a pro! She always has other dogs and she’s good about separating and slowly introducing when appropriate. She’s also very sweet with my daughter whom has come with me for drop offs and pick ups. She’s very kind and social, doesn’t mind us spending extra time there while the dogs get comfortable. I can’t say enough good things, I would never leave my dogs anywhere else.

Britt was able to accommodate Bella on short notice, Bella had a great time and got to make new friends💕 Britt sent me pictures and videos of Bella the entire stay. …

Britt has an intuitive understanding of the dogs she watches and truly loves on the animals. My dog Luna is always excited to stay with her and the fur family

I have been taking my Aussie to Britt for boarding & day care for 2 years and it’s been wonderful! My dog LOVES playing with the other dogs and is happy to go every time!

My experience with Trinity Animal Care Services was amazing! Reshan is a truly dog Wisper, he provides updates about how our Kamila was doing. i was a Litle nervous it was our first time leaving her behind, but he did an amazing job, he feed her on schedule he take care of her really well, when we pick her up, she look really happy. take in consideration that Kamila is a 5-month-old Belgian Malinois and ReShan didn't hesitate he take her on board that same day. I highly recommend him. your pet will be safe and happy.

I can't say enough good things about Trinity Animal Care! They truly went above and beyond to care for my furry friend, Elmer. The daily updates and adorable videos were a lifesaver. It was so comforting to know that Elmer was happy and well-looked-after. It made our time away so much easier knowing he was in such great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Trinity Animal Care to anyone seeking a reliable and loving place for their pets. They're the best!

My experience with Trinity Animal Care Services was amazing! ReShan is truly top tier with his experience, knowledge, patience and handling of dogs. Bronx felt right at home at Trinity. The best dog care experience I’ve ever seen or had Bronx be a part of. There isn’t any other place I would take my Bronx to for dog care.

ReShan accomodated me last minute to board my dog for one day and night on an impromptu trip around the area. He was extremely professional, thorough and provided a very detailed update including info on my dog such as her appetite and bowel movements. As a Veterinarian, I really appreciated that. He is very good with animals and truly cares about them. With his experience in animal services I completely trust his ability to not only handle my own dog but to handle any situations that might come up with other animals when going on walks etc. His facility is extremely organized and he gives a tour to show where your pet will be staying and goes over every detail regarding your pets care while in his hands. If I lived closer, he would be the only person I would use for any future boarding! Forest loved her stay, thank you!

ReShan was absolutely amazing! He was great with our 1 yr. old puppy and eased my mind with consistent video updates throughout the stay. If you’re looking for a sitter that will ensure that your dog is safe and cared for, I highly recommend ReShan.

My Yorkypoo puppy loved watching TV and playing in the spacious playpen, these are two things my girl loves to do. With the updates provided, I was comfortable knowing she was doing well during her visit. Yes, I recommend.

ReShan came highly recommended by a friend and he went above and beyond to provide the best care for our standard poodle Louie. ReShan was super responsive, provided great updates with pictures and videos of our sweet Louie and most importantly I could just tell how much passion he has for animals. I did not have to worry one bit that Louie was in great hands. His facility looks like a doggy spa. I have used rover/many pet sitters in the past but ReShan was definitely the best we have ever had. Thank you so much for caring for our Lou! We will be back again!

I had a great experience with trinity animal care services. It was my first time leaving my 1.5 yrs old german Shepherd at daycare so I was a little nervous, but after meeting with ReShan and learning of his long history and experience with animals and dogs I knew my dog onyx was in good hands. I was kept updated on how onyx was doing which i appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Trinity Animal Care Services to anyone.

We someone at short notice to watch our dog. We looked at ReShans view of past clients that chose ReShawn and let me just say the review are accurate. ReShan took the time to ask all the questions about our dog and his routine and went above and beyond to take care of our dog. He sent thorough updates and videos. We really appreciated that he was honest with us about our dogs stay and truly seemed like he enjoyed having our dog there. Thank you so much for taking care of Rufus!

This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone and I was extremely nervous. I have 6 dogs. One has pretty bad anxiety. I was sent video and message updates twice a day. My fur babies were safe and well cared for. My anxious dog actually let him pet him! That spoke volumes. I will not trust by babies with anyone else. If you love your dogs like children, this is the place for them !

Best place to bring your pup for an overnight stay. My dog loves it here and is always excited at drop off. The kennels are in an AC building.

I wish there were more stars to give Amanda and her wonderful pet boarding facility. Amanda is so sweet and genuinely cares about your pets. We have two 5 month old puppies and I was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Amanda answered all of my questions promptly when deciding where to leave our puppies and her prices were incredibly reasonable. We boarded our puppies for a week and when we arrived to drop them off, we were so impressed with how clean it was and how nice the area is that she has set up for dogs. I emailed her a few times to check on our puppies while we were gone. Not only did she reply in a short period of time, but she sent pictures of the puppies and a video of them playing. It made me so happy to see how happy and playful they were during their stay. 4 Paws Country Inn is a special place and perfect for your pets when you need a place for them to stay. We have a couple more trips planned this year and I will need to board our puppies again. I will be calling Amanda soon to reserve a spot for them. I want to make sure they can stay at the BEST place in the Central Valley, 4 Paws Country Inn.

Amanda is such a doll! Easy to schedule with and treats your pooches like family. Also extremely affordable compared to other boarding facilities. Highly recommend!

My pups loved this place. Both pups were happy when I picked them up. The location is excellent, the inn is well maintained and can see the owners' love for the pets and place. I plan to use them again! Photos coming soon!

Amanda, the owner is very friendly and caring person and the place is super clean. While i was abroad, she texted me several times, explaining how my dogs were doing and sent videos of my dogs playing at her facility. My dogs were happy , energetic and looked clean and smelled good when i picked them up. I highly recommend this place to people who really care about their pets.

Amanda is incredible and will love your fur baby as if they were her own! My dog absolutely loves staying there and gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Miss Amanda. Leia seriously has the time of her life while at 4 Paws! I wouldn't dream of leaving her anywhere else!

Wonderful open space for the dogs to run. It’s peaceful. The owner is a kind woman who is willing to work around your schedule. I will definitely trust my dogs to go here again.

I highly recommend!! I have dropped my dog off several times and the owner has always been very accommodating😊😊 Amazing atmosphere for your pup!! 🐶🐶 …

I am extremely impressed with 4 Paws Country Inn for numerous reasons! I had to travel recently and did not feel comfortable leaving my 3-legged cat home alone for the length of time that I would have to be away as well as the fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off practically every night, close to my front door by surrounding neighbors. I proceeded to make calls and compare prices. Not only was 4 Paws Country Inn more reasonably priced, willing to accommodate during this Covid-19 nightmare, but most importantly provided my precious cat with a super clean, caring, and safe environment!! I received so much more than a 4 night pet stay boarding!! I was given peace of mind which is priceless. I can go on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Amanda prior to bringing my cat Pumkinhead. She was so easy and pleasant to talk to. I had nervous “mommy” questions which Amanda answered with professional expertise and reassuring patience. There was absolutely no pressure and I felt like she had a genuine love for animals and took her profession very seriously. I appreciated her attention to detail and her verification of my animal’s vaccination status via her very professionally drafted contract. This assured me that she would be also safeguarding other pets as well as my own. The day I arrived to drop off my precious kitty, Amanda welcomed us warmly and assisted me with my heavy items. Her facility is indeed a beautiful country inn and the outside is well maintained and full of natural charm. The inside is equally immaculate and the aroma is nothing short of clean and fresh. I was amazed that the kennel full of dogs had no hint of animal waste at all!! The destination of my cat would be a lovely large enclosed ward with a spectacular window and ledge for viewing the spacious fenced in yard. I was so happy to see the cat tree and three story crate that would accommodate my cat’s high back litter box and room to spare. I had expressed to Amanda how my cat was very leery of children and usually would hide if they came near. It was an unfortunate result of a truly traumatic event that occurred involving a 4 year old girl who may have been autistic. Amanda proceeded to instruct her sons (Jase and Bryce) of my cats’ fear and and cautioned to move slowly when they are around her. I really appreciated her giving this “heads up” to her sons who routinely help her. I was able to leave my cat in her very capable hands... 😅 I also received wonderful pics of my precious and I almost cried! She was enjoying herself. And the icing on the cake so to speak was what I witnessed when I was reunited with my cat. I could not believe my eyes!! Amanda had given me my precious and her two sons were standing nearby. As I anxiously released her from the carrier she greeted me and meowed. I knew she was happy to see me. Then she went to rub against Bryce’s leg and he picked her up. She didn’t meow or anything. She didn’t turn to cling to him as if in fear, which she often does even to me when I pick her up. Instead she let him hold her and she was totally okay with it!! Then when Amanda told me that he had spent much time with her in the cat sanctuary and often spoke to her saying “it’s okay sweetheart” I knew he had helped her recover from her fear of children!! 😭😻😍💕 Amanda quickly told Bryce to let her down now so that she could be with me, and as he set her gingerly down onto her 3 paws he extended his hand and she turned back towards him and rubbed her cheek on his hand. That right there was a miracle!! I am grateful beyond words to Amanda and to her helper sons Bryce and Jase who stand with her, smiling with the face of little angels!! 😇

Good place to leave your dogs since there isn't good reliable facilities near me, dog have plenty of space to run in secured fenced runners, my dogs seemed to liked because when I picked them up, they went to her (the owner) like saying goodbye.

We recently left our dog for 3 days with Ann at Riverside Paradise. He had a wonderful time playing with all the other dogs. He is a senior dog, but he played until he couldn't play any more. Ann was even good about feeding our dog the special diet of homemade food & treats that he is a custom to. It was reassuring to receive all the pictures she sent us. We may even take him out frequently for play days. We highly recommend Ann at Riverside Pup Paradise.

Ann is an amazing caretaker for our furry family members! One of our dogs settles in quickly and is ready to play, play, play. Our other dog is a little bit shy and takes time to warm up. Ann is always kind and understanding to their individual personalities. We all appreciate the pictures she sends us, giving us peace of mind that our fur babies are having just as much fun as we are!

Ann is great with our little guy. She always updated the owners via a website photo sharing. I like how our dog is in a home setting when we are aaay

I called to inquire information about boarding and the lady who answered the phone was rude and sarcastic.

Since I've never provided dog boarding for this person, I'm not sure why there is a review...? Wonder what he is reviewing.

Great spot! I’m someone who gets separation anxiety from my dog (lol) and it was hard at first for me to commit to bringing him to a facility to be boarded. Cusco is also sensitive so I was worried about that, too. He is not a skittish dog, he just notices everything and needs time to take it all in before he’s okay with joining the party. I explained this to the staff and let them know to play “hard to get” with him and basically ignore that he’s there until he approaches and touches them on his own, and they are all thankfully very dog savvy and knew exactly what I meant. Reading the report cards of Cusco’s stay, it seems that the people he interacts with daily understand his needs and read him well, they pickup on details about him that are true which I’ve never disclosed myself. The best part for me is that when I pick him up, he doesn’t seem like he spent the last few days living super stressed out. I’m sensitive, he’s sensitive, so to have a place I can leave him and feel like he’s at least neutral if not content to be there is a huge relief. There are also multiple safety barriers and doors that would need to be breached in order for him to actually be in danger of escaping. No dogsitter on Rover has that. He is intact (because he’s a preservation breed and his breed club and breeder would like to preserve his genetics, not because I’m an irresponsible owner who thinks all dogs should have litters lol) which means he doesn’t get group play with other dogs and relies solely on humans to interact with him while he is there. I feel that even if he wasn’t intact I would prefer it this way, and the fact that they offer that as an option is really nice. He’s not unfriendly to other dogs, he just needs to get to know them first in low energy settings to actually enjoy himself rather than be stressed out by the interaction. The only thing I wish was different was that I could have a chance to tour the facility back there and get to know and see where he is staying and exactly how he is living. It likely is an option, but it wasn’t included in our introduction to the facility, provably because new strange people on the back could further stress already stressed dogs, and/or my dog would then know he could look for me back there and that could cause some anxiety. Maybe a video walkthrough would be good! I recommend Elaine’s and am grateful for them. I hope this stays true throughout the time I’ll be living in Fresno!

I've been taking my dogs for close roughly 2.5yrs and they love it. We started at Madera and now go to Fresno and both locations are great. I love coming in and the front desk knows both of my dog's name and greets them. I love the holiday pictures.

I am new to the Fresno area and needed a safe place for my elderly boxer while I am out of the country. My boxer is very low maintenance when it comes to activity - she's 14 1/2 years old. All she needs is a place to sleep, food, and a few potty breaks. I paid the $30 for the mandatory "Meet and Greet", only to be called after a few hours to be told that she "could not be accommodated" there. The reason given was her "mobility". I am not sure what mobility issues they observed...yes, she is a little slower in her old age, but we take walks daily and she doesn't have issues with her gait. She has a great deal of experience in kennels and has never had an issue. Anyway - I found a much better facility that is more than happy to take loving care of my old girl while I am gone. I feel like this meet and greet thing is just a money grab. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews before I wasted my time and money.

This place is next level. The staff and facility layout is amazing. The staff provides a very welcoming environment. We boarded our dog snowflakes

I absolutely love Elaine’s Pet Resort! The fact that they share Instagram stories of the playgroups is a game-changer. It truly feels like we’re right there with our dogs, and it brings so much joy to see them having a great time. The team is genuinely caring and goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and safe. It’s reassuring to know our furry friends are in such capable hands. The transparency and care they provide make this resort top-notch. Five stars!

I had many bad experiences in the past in different places in the area, to the point that we almost lost my rescue black lab due to a negligence from a facilities staff. I did my research again until I found the perfect place for my dogs. Since, the first time, I left my dogs, I feel confident to travel knowing that my pets will be safe and well taking care of. I had the opportunity to toured the facilities before our first meet and greet appointment. I was impressed of the cleanness and well-organized facilities,including ambiental music and air conditioning. The playground and water park are build specifically for dogs. My dogs are happy when I picked them up and they never show any behavior of mistreatment as they did before. The staff is amazing and very professional. They have a holiday events offering photos for our our lovely pets. Also they provide a report cards for every visit, so I can read about their behavior during their stay. They accommodate my rescue black dog because he doesn't get along with other dogs. He does have one-one time and playing time. My little puppy get alone with other dogs and he does have play time with other puppies. Also I am over protective with my dogs and I was able to call every day to check on them when I travel for a week. I am very confident recommending this place to other pet owners. It is pricy compare to other places around but I can't complain about the care of my dear pets. " Happy pets, Happy fur parents" ~ MP

My pet went there for the first time was there for four days everyone that works there was very nice. When I picked up my dog she seemed to be very happy I had not brought her around other dogs, so she hadn’t been socialized with people or other dogs and adjusted very well. I will bring her back I felt very good having her there , I love the fact they send out report cards keeping you up to date on how’s she doing I loved that Pat as well as a picture of her.

If you love your dog, don’t leave them at Elaine’s. I left my dog at Elaine’s for a week over thanksgiving. It is supposedly Fresno’s premier destination for dogs, so I thought it would be safe to leave him. But the staff at Elaine’s lied to me on multiple occasions. First, they told me my dog would get to play with the other dogs. Which I paid for him to do extra because he loves other dogs so much. That was a lie, he was in solitary confinement for two days until a staff member let it slip and I complained. He was temperament tested the next day and found to have no problems with other dogs and then allowed to play. If I hadn’t been calling to check on him, I never would have known because they were fine with me being misinformed. When I complained to Debbie, she admitted that wasn’t their policy and he should have been temperament tested his first day instead of being confined. Secondly, they lied to me about how much food my dog was eating. They told me he was eating 100% of his food, but then again, when I called to check on him, a staff member let slip that “somehow” I’d been misinformed and he was only eating about 40% of his food. I was then told it wasn’t a big deal, and not to be concerned, but if that’s the case, why did they bother lying about it. When I complained about this to Debbie, she again admitted that this was against their policy. All in all, I paid $500 to be lied to, my dog be mistreated, and at the end all I got from Elaine’s was a dismissive attitude and a “sorry you’re mad” even though they admitted their actions were against their own policies. Think twice before leaving your pet here. They have no problem lying to you about how they are treating your pet, and do not care at all about any valid concerns. If you love your pet, don’t bring them to Elaine’s.

Great service when boarding pets during trips. Appreciate the dedication to making sure our pets are taken care of and the report cards sent to us during our trips to see how they are doing are appreciated

We board our big dog, Lucy here every time we go out of town. They have an additional service for her to get a bath a couple hours before pickup time. She is happy when we get there to drop her off, and they do a great job with her bath. They even email us a report card with a photo to let us know how she did. We highly recommend Elaine’s Pet Resort!
