Jess and Scott were lovely hosts who welcomed us into their home and made us feel relaxed straightaway. They have a beautiful house with everything you could possibly need, and we had great communication during the sit. I even hurt my foot so couldn’t walk Nola, and they kindly solved the problem from the other end of the world. We really loved our time with Nola! She is without a doubt the smartest dog we’ve looked after, and Jess and Scott have done an amazing job training her and keeping her stimulated. Apart from going on long walks, she loves doing (dog) puzzles, learning new tricks, finding hidden treats/toys around the house, playing tug and licky mats. All of these help tire her brain out! She will follow you to every room to keep an eye on you (specially if you’re in the kitchen 😂), and is just great company to have around. She has great recall on walks, is very well behaved around other dogs and LOVES a swim. Tongham has a post office, bakery and shop, and Farnham is a 10 minute drive if you want a busier atmosphere, nice coffee shops, pubs and a Waitrose. Jess left us a list of walks to go on which was super helpful, now we know why Surrey is called Area of Astounding Natural Beauty! We would 100% recommend this sit! Thanks Jess, Scott and Nola for having us 😊
What a beautiful weekend. Clear and easy communication. A beautiful home. And Adele was the highlight. She is such a sweet dog who will give you a guided tour of the town. We loved taking her for walks around the neighborhood and downtown, and while at home Adele kept us company whether having coffee in the morning or laying down for sleep. We felt we had all the information and resources needed for a great sit. Thanks so much!

Ry The Pet Guy and his dog walkers are life-savers! I adopted my 3rd rescue over the pandemic, a year old German Shepherd with a lot of energy, and finding Ry has been such a relief. He gets picked up twice a week by Gabe who takes him for his pack walk and even works with him on behavioral issues. He sends spectacular photos of their pack walks and video of how to continue the training exercises. Gabe goes above and beyond to connect with the dogs. Best of all, when we board all 3 dogs, they love him and the rest of Ry's crew and come home happy and relaxed. Absolutely top service for dog care!
Ry The Pet Guy and his team have made our trips abroad much less stressful! We know that our precious little dog is safe, cared for and relaxed while he is with Ry. All the staff are very attentive and send us pictures of our wee pup while we are away. Ry and his staff provide a calm environment for all of the dogs. We trust Ry and his team for not only walks but longer stays too. Our dog comes home happy and pampered!
Highly recommend Ry and his wonderful team for daycare, training, and boarding! We love Gabe who takes our big boy Jerry (far left in photo) out with a dog group three days a week. Jerry loves his time with his paw pals!
Stellar service!! There’s a reason why Ry The Pet Guy has a solid 5 stars reviews! Getting a dog sitter can be a very stressful thing. We are so lucky to have found Ry and company to take the best care of our fur babies and we are no longer stressed about leaving our fur babies behind while on a trip. Ry is attentive, caring and communication is on point. It is obvious that he has a TON of experience taking care of dogs and being attentive to each and every dog under his care. Our fur babies love him and are always so excited to see Ry. It’s a win win! Don’t waste your time and book with Ry The Pet Guy. You won’t be disappointed 👍👍
We absolutely love the service. Ryland is very reliable as are his staff. Our dog loves all of the walkers and we even get gifts from Ryland at Christmas time which a lovely touch. Highly Recommended!
Ry and team are so thoughtful with their dog care. This is the *ONLY* dog boarding place where our pup gets excited to go with them - all other places we've tried, our pup gets scared and nervous, breaks your heart as a dog mom! Instead, when Ry and his guys show up, our little girl cannot wait to jump in and head off to a weekend with her friends - did I mention they pick up your pup too? So convenient! Better still, Ry takes magazine quality photos and will send them to you while you're away from your beloved pup. Are they the least expensive option? Of course not, but the quality of care, the love they show these dogs, and the piece of mind of knowing our girl is well cared for while we're away makes it completely worth it. Thank you, Ry and team!
We've been using Ry The Pet Guy for over 2 years and have nothing but great things to say about them! Our dog (the one on the far left) goes 3 days a week, and has boarded with them for long weekends and extended stay when we have been out of town. Our dog loves the entire staff and has no problem being away. Gabe has been picking-up/returning her, and our dog can't wait to go in the morning! Gabe lets us know the 30 min slot he will be coming, and sends us daily photos. He is friendly and delightful to work with and we trust him to leave our dog inside if we are not at home. He also does some obedience training!
I would highly recommend Ry the Pet guy. Our original plan of care from a dog sitter fell through at last minute and our pup (Frenchie) has never been away from us. So I was a little nervous about leaving him but Ry and his staff were super warm and welcoming with Stitch. He was so excited and doing zoomies on the property when we arrived. He is a huge ball of energy so I was curious how he would do there. Throughout the 3 days we received daily updates on Stitch and pictures of his walks and adventures. It was such a good feeling to be reassured he was happy, well cared for and having a great time with other dogs. We will definitely be using their boarding services again. Stitch definitely felt the love! Thanks Ry and staff.
If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring place to leave your dog, look no further than RTPG. As someone who had never left my dog alone, I was understandably nervous about leaving him in the care of strangers. But from the moment I dropped off my pup, Indy, I knew he was in good hands. The team at RTPG are true dog whisperers, and had Indy comfortable and happy from day one. Throughout my trip overseas, they kept me updated with pictures of Indy on epic walks with his new friends, and I could see from his eyes that he was having the time of his life. They even helped Indy overcome his fear of bigger dogs, and gave me tips on how to be the best owner possible. When I picked Indy up, he was better adjusted than when I left him, and eager to return to RTPG. Their facilities are spotless, they come and pick up your pupper and drop him off for daycare as well. Overall, I can't recommend RTPG and their team enough. They truly care about the dogs in their care and go above and beyond to ensure they have a great experience. If you're looking for a place where your dog can be safe, happy, and have an adventure, look no further than Ry The Pet Guy.
Ryland and his team are amazing! They take such good care of my fur baby, Harry, who can be an odd ball, and frankly, a handful. They understand dog behavior so well, and give my dog so much love and attention. He gets so excited when he knows that he is going to stay the weekend with Ry and team. Ryland has also done extensive behavioral training to be a trusted dog trainer. His passion for learning new tools and approaches impressed me, and made me feel at ease when I first began using him. I am so grateful to Ry the Pet Guy and team for being part of our pack and trusted caretakers. 11 out of 10 recommend!!
We have now been using this service for the past year. Our dog walker is fabulous, and Lynda, who runs the business, is so responsive, friendly, and helpful. This service is completely reliable, and all of the pet walkers are great communicators and always show up ready to love on your fur baby.
We love Bay Area Pet Pals! We've been a customer for more than 6 years and have had two different, terrific dog walkers (one moved out of state) — both of them were/are reliable, trustworthy and adore our dog as much as we do. We've also used the owner Lynda's pet boarding services over the years, which have been a huge help. Lynda is caring, reliable, communicative, and treats our dog like one of her own. We always feel better having our dog stay with Lynda in a home environment rather than being boarded in a cage. Happy we found Lynda and Bay Area Pet Pals. Highly recommend!
Love this service, Lynda and her team are a breeze to work with. Once we figured out a schedule that worked, I've been consistently and exclusively booking my dog's walks at Bay Area Pet Pals.
We were so fortunate to find the services of Bay Area Pet Pals around 7 years ago!! The owner Lynda is an amazing pet lover!! BAPP has assisted us with daily walks for our girls Millie and Bella, as well as boarding over the years. If you are looking for top notch 5 star service when it comes to walks or boarding for your pooch BAPP is the place!!! A pic of Bella enjoying herself while we were away on vacation!! : )
Bay Area Pet Pals has earned my trust and business! The owner (Lynda) of Bay Area Pet Pals was responsive to all my emails while I was inquiring and searching for a pet sitter. Lynda was extremely helpful in ensuring me that her team was experienced and accountable for services provided. I am so grateful and happy that I found Bay Area Pet Pals. Brandy was excellent and took great care of Rue (my cat) while I was away. I received a text update from Brandy on Rue which I was very happy about as it put me at ease. She even sent me pictures of Rue :). I am excited to have a trusted team that I can continue to use for pet sitting in the near future. Bay Area Pet Pals is awesome. I definitely feel that they are a team of loving, trained caregivers for peoples fur-babies!
We have been using Lynda’s services for more than a year now and they are fantastic. Cassie has been our dog walker and she was always perfect, on time and best of all, our 2 monsters (English Cocker spaniels) love her. We also had them sitting Canoowie and Lola for a week when we had an emergency trip!!!! Heidi stayed in our place giving them all the attention and always keeping us informed on how they were. We truly recommend Bay Area Pet Pals!
We have been using Lynda/Bay Area Pet Pals for at least 7 years as our petsitter for our 2 little dogs whenever we are out of town or need for other reasons. There is no one else I would trust as much as Lynda to take care of them. Her place is like their home away from home, and she treats and loves them as her own. And they get happily excited when they see her. Lynda has also had to give one of our dogs medication every day while we were gone, and she followed through with no problem. My husband and I highly recommend Bay Area Pet Pals to take excellent care of your pets. For us, it's peace of mind that our two dogs are in good hands while we're gone.
I’ve been using Bay Area Pet Pals (BAPP) for as long as I’ve had my dog (10+ years) and there is absolutely no other dog boarding service nor individual that I would trust to provide as outstanding a level of expertise with kind loving care as BAPP and Lynda. Lynda is experienced, professional yet personable and I have complete peace of mind and trust her implicitly whenever I leave my dog in her care. In fact, all my vacations are always scheduled with her availability in mind. I truly can’t imagine a pet care provider who could be any better.
Bay Area Pet Pals have been a godsend for me. We were new to the Bay area 3 years ago and I didn't have the family I normally relied on to watch my cats. On top of that one of my cats is diabetic and the other has chronic kidney disease. I'm a Veterinary Technician so finding the right people to watch my cats was critical and boarding them just stresses them out. I reached out to Lynda and was super impressed by her business model and the care takers she hires. You give her a lot of information about your pets and that really eased my mind that she cares about them. She is upfront about what she needs from the pet owner so there are no issues while you are gone. I travel a lot and Alisse and Kim and absolutely phenomenal! They give my diabetic cat her insulin and Alisse was even willing to learn to give fluids to my old gal. They spend quality time with them and are in constant communication with me via text or email. You do pay for the service but the peace of mind I get leaving my cats in their care is worth it to me. I highly recommend them!
Heather was awesome! We have a very shy cat but after a few days they were best friends. This company is legit. They scheduled a meet-and-greet and had thorough information forms to make sure the sitter isn't locked out and any specific needs the pet had. Will be booking again for future trips!
Maria helped me with my dog while I was away on holiday. She was very communicative. She would keep me updated with texts messages and pics throughout the day. I specifically chose Maria because she is very active. She would take my pup for LONG walks and I LOVED that about her. She is a good fit for my fur child 🐕 and many others I imagine ❤️.
Our dog's second home! He is so loved and well taken care of he's staying at Andy's Boarding Place.
We have been boarding our two labs with Kevin for over 8 years, and love him for so many reasons. Kevin truly loves and cares for these dogs, and it is evident in how excited they are to see him. He frequently sends photos and videos of them playing, napping, and cuddling with each other. Kevin does not use crates or enclosures of any kind, as they are all free to roam and treated as if they were his own, in his personal space. He is very attentive at all times. I have full confidence in Kevin to care for our dog children, as he always allows for a stress-free vacation when we are away. I appreciate his responsibility and love for the pups. Thank you, Kevin!
Haven’t met any other dog daycare or boarding place that cares more about their dogs than Kevin at Andy’s Boarding Place. He is always very communicative, the hours are great, and he sends updates throughout the day so you know your dog is happy. Our dogs have been going to Kevin for more than four years and we don’t plan to look anywhere else. We always have peace of mind that they are safe and happy at Andy’s Boarding Place.
Andy’s Place is our puppy’s favorite daycare in the area! Kevin takes incredible care of all of the dogs, and they all look like they have a great time.
Very affordable for this area and our pup plays nonstop with all the other dogs every time he is there.
Kevin’s the best
Friendly people real animal lovers
We started with Happy Tails in October and could not be happier. They take such great care of Susie, my dog. She is always so excited to sprint out of the car to daycare. I tried a few other daycares in the area and Happy Tails far exceeds. The caring staff here really make the place as the fact they foster a fun, non-aggressive vibe. You can tell they really care about all the dogs. So happy we found this place!
What a great place! They were very good with my puppy and gave him the hair trim he needed. I didn’t get the groomers name, but she is amazing at what she does. The only place I will be taking my dog from now on.
Happy tails doggy day care been caring for our family dogs for the last 10 years. Our previous dog who passed away used to snuggle with the older pups, she had lots of separation anxiety so I was so grateful Happy tails were able to accommodate her. Our current pup, a super energetic catahoula mix - has been a frequent visitor for overnight stays been going to Happy tails for years and also gets a bath upon pickup.. we are very grateful for a cage free, caring place such as this
Happy Tails is our beloved pooch's home away from home, for daycare a few times a week as well as stays for up to two weeks. Jax is excited every time, gets lots of love and treats from the family & staff, and loves the social, crate-free environment. You should know that this is not "luxury" boarding, it can be noisy, and may not work for super-shy dogs, but I'm so grateful for the love they show our Jax!
My dog always has a good time coming here. I know the staff really cares because everyone at happy tails knows my dog by her name. They even recognizes my car so often when I drive up they start prepping my pup for pick up and when I finish parking, she is already ready to go. They also do a good job with nail grinding, bathing and other grooming services. 10/10 would recommend.
Happy Tails is truly one of the best dog daycare centers in the Bay Area!! My dog and I drive an extra 80 minutes roundtrip from downtown SF to Belmont just for Happy Tails. My dog is beyond loved and well cared for every time we go. He no longer attends regularly - perhaps twice a month - yet they always remember him no matter how much time has passed. The staff are kind, thoughtful, and patient. The prices are incredibly reasonable. My dog has the full day 20 visit package and it’s a great value in comparison to so many other dog daycare services. I highly recommend Happy Tails for your dog’s daycare needs!! Bonus: at Christmas they invite Santa to come visit the dogs!
Love this daycare/boarding for my fur baby. This is my second dog that goes to Happy Tails and I am very happy with the care they provide. My dog gets very excited when we pull up to the door. The staff is very kind and clearly they love dogs! I highly recommend Happy Tails for daycare and overnight care!!
My dogs have been going to Happy Tails for years for day care and overnight boarding. They love it and the people there really care about the dogs. They have large indoor area for the dogs to play and a smaller outdoor space for them to be able get outside. They break up the dogs into groups based on size and age I believe (small dogs with small dogs, big dogs with big). They also do grooming which my dogs also have had dsone there and they do a nice job cleaning up the pups!
This place takes such good care of our girl Dottie. She comes home so tired and happy, I know she's in good hands. They offer nail clips and baths before you pick up (for a fee) so she's all fresh for home. They do open sleeping, grouped by size/energy, so our babies aren't in a cage, just hanging out and snuggling. An overnight attendant stays with them. One thing to note, they're only open for pickup on Sundays from 3-6pm.
I found Happy Tails after Península Pet closed their dogs. I was in a tough situation since Peninsula had looked over my three dogs and now I was lost. We gave it a try and our labradoodle loves it, we are thankful we found them.
Ryan is an absolute gem! My pup is difficult, she doesn’t like other dogs and is very sassy. Ryan has always cared for her with patience and kindness. It’s hard for me to trust anyone else with my dog because Ryan has been so amazing. Also a plus that Ryan is friendly and respectful of the house. My family and I appreciate him so much for taking care of our baby.
Ryan is fantastic! He took great care of my extremely skittish rescue cat with such kindness and skill. I can’t believe how fast they connected. I look forward to having him care for my dog as well. He’s super knowledgeable and clearly loves animals.
Ryan and his wife are the best!! We have left our dog there since she was a little less than a year old. First for daycare and then when we went on vacation, the most recently for a whole month!! Penny always comes home happy, clean and well looked after. We are grateful for Ryan’s diligence and care in looking after our pet and are confident we are leaving her in caring hands. We appreciate his thoughtfulness and he keeps us updated with regular pictures. Thank you Ryan!!
We adore Ryan! Ryan has taken care and walked both our boxer dogs. He is such a genuinely good person. He loves all animals, knows how to train, administer medications and make all animals feel safe. I highly recommend Ryan!
Ryan is amazing! Our 2 year old pup is fairly skittish, weary of men, and a little hyper, but adores Ryan (and his family) and comes home happy and calm from her visits/stays with him. Ryan came highly recommended from a friend and we are so happy to have found him!
Ryan took great care of our cat while we were traveling, feeding her and cleaning the litter box in our house. He was very flexible with the timing based on our preference although it was a long weekend and we scheduled kind of late with him. I ended up asking him another favor from the house work and he kindly admitted to do that too. I highly recommend him!
It's been really wonderful working with Ryan over the last few years. Our dog is very particular, and Ryan does a great job taking care of her. We'd definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a great, reliable walker.
Ryan was great! He made sure to always include pictures and an update so I knew exactly how my cat was doing each day. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my cat in Ryan's care. Highly recommended!
We had last mins request. Ryan showed up each time on time. It is little tricky to get our dog go for a walk with someone that she is not familiar with but Ryan was able make it work. We highly recommend if you need someone that you can trust to take care your furry kids. Ryan shows me he is very knowledgeable about animals and most of all he has a great heart ♥️
Ryan has been incredibly helpful and takes great care of our elderly cat, Sushi, who can't travel with us when we go to Tahoe. Highly recommend, goes above and beyond with both her and our house.
This place is amazing!! The staff truly cares for the dogs. They are very responsive and so reasonably priced. They were so flexible and understanding as well. Maui & Moe came home so happy and tired after day care and boarding. Highly highly recommend!!
We travel for at least 1 month each year without our dog Lotus, so it is extremely important that there is a doggie day care and boarding facility that we can absolutely trust. That facility is Woofs and Wiggles, which we have been using for many years, both for Lotus and her predecessor Roxie. Woofs and Wiggles is a small family-run business, operated by the owner and a few staff members, all of whom seem to take great pride in what they do, and take great care of the dogs that are entrusted to them. The facility itself is clean and spacious, and the dogs are well looked after. Prices are reasonable. I could not ask for more.
This place is clean, affordable and has knowledgeable staff. I was gone from my pup for 2 days and was extremely happy with how he was taken care of. He has special needs, extreme hair loss because of stress from previous abuse, so his skin needed to have lotion applied to him every day. The staff went out of their way to make sure that it got done. The only downside was that I had to drive out of the way to get to them, but the drive was worth it because of the price and quality compared to some of the closer kennels to me didn’t match up.
Great doggie daycare that's just a few blocks from where I work. Owners, Johnny & Diane, are very friendly and easy going, and the staff are great with all the dogs. The staff live onsite, so there is someone there 24/7, which makes me feel better about boarding my guy, Grayson!
It was by pure accident that I have discovered an amazing daycare in Redwood City. Bottom line: incredibly kind, caring staff; very clean facility; very inexpensive. It is a small family business: the owner's name is Diane and she is assisted by her son Johnny. People: Diane and her staff took amazing care of our dog -- they know her by name, they went into a store to buy her favorite food when the food we left ran out, they pampered her throughout her stay there. They gave her as much love and attention as we do. Amazingly kind people, who took incredible care of our dog. Facility: very clean, with plenty of room for the dogs to run. Prices: I was slightly blown away at how inexpensive they are and how straightforward the pricing is. I hope this is helpful. Cheers!
My toy poodle is my first pet, so he is the baby of the house, especially for my autistic daughter. I came guided by google reviews and with doubts I brought my baby here for Pet Boarding. I’m SO grateful for the excellent care! The place is clean, they have the dogs separated by size, each one with its own mini playground and beds. The manager and assistants were very helpful. I recommend it !
We have four dogs, of whom the whole family loves! The biggest problem with having four dogs is that, while they are part of the family, they cannot go on all family trips or getaways. This being said it is very difficult and expensive to send your family to a place to board for any period of time. This being said, it is awesome to know that a place, like Woofs and Wiggles, is around. It's a pretty good drive for us to drop off our dogs at Woofs and Wiggles, yet we do so gladly knowing they will be well cared for with reasonable prices! The owners, Johnny and Dianne and all of the staff, know all of our dogs and treat them as they would their own. So I have no hesitation bringing my dogs here and leaving them. I also have no hesitation when recommending this place to anyone looking for a place to take their four legged family members! 5 stars from me!
Staff was friendly and prices were very reasonable, but I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my Frenchie here. It didn’t seem like the dogs had much supervision and the layout made it seem like it wouldn’t be suitable for very hot or cold days. I want my frenchie to have supervised care and attention 24/7, and I didn’t feel like this was the place for that.
My puppy loves it! I first tried Woofs and Wiggles because they allow puppies under 4 months and I'm so happy I found them. Johnny is great! My dog gets so excited whenever I bring her to daycare. It makes being away from her much easier, knowing that she's gonna have a great time. :)
Woofs and Wiggles is a great daycare located in a bit of an industrial neighborhood of Redwood City. Johnny and his staff are very caring people who obviously love dogs. My dog always has a great time here and comes home tired and happy.
Tails up is a super professional, reliable, and well run business. They’ve been taking care of our daily dog walks for 3+ years and send photos/videos updates of your dog each time. My dog always comes back tired and ready for a nap. Thanks Lucy and team!
Lucy is God sent!! I was in the area for an emergency and dogs are not allowed in the ICU but Ms. Lucy came to our rescue. Tails Up Pet Care is professional, provided video updates and was absolutely amazing with Kitty our four month old teacup Yorkie.
While I work 2 days per week in San Francisco, the dog handlers at TailsUp have been taking my pup for group play dates for 2+ years. They adore her and pair her with equally social dogs. She is happy and exercised when I come home, which is a win-win for both of us!
Lucy and Diana continue to be such great help during COVID. They are careful about following proper health protocols and I have never felt at risk with them walking my dogs. Thank you!
Lucy, the owner, and Diana have just been a pleasure to work with in taking care of our little guy, Benji. Benji gets lots of attention and love during his playgroup sessions monday thru friday and we get daily pics of Benji having fun with his doggie friends. Tails up is very professional, responsive and are clear dog lovers. Diana is our main playgroup leader, and she's been trustworthy and reliable, as is Lucy. A pleasure to have them with us for the past 4-5 years.
We have had a great experience with tails up pet care. Our dogs love the daily dog part outings and look forward to it. The service is great and the communication is good with caring people. We have been very satisfied with the service.
For about a year, Erika was both my dog walker and pet-sitter extraordinaire for my two-year-old Sheepadoodle, Henry. She was so patient with my growing puppy and his boundless energy. And she was just as patient, flexible, reliable and kind to me and my ever-changing schedule. I moved out of state last March and Erika watched Henry for over a month while I traveled back and forth. While I love my new home, I haven't found a pet-sitter who compares to Erika's trustworthiness and professionalism. Henry and I both miss her terribly!!
Erika is great! Our senior lab loves sniffing around with her. She's very reliable and patient, and we love getting a video summary of what our dog sniffed.
I honestly cannot express how wonderful Erika was as not only a dog walker, but as a professional, animal-lover, and overall human being. She agreed to walk my 80lb pitbull mix relatively last minute and when she realized I was outside her range (she's located in Atherton) she immediately began calling pet sitters and dog walkers within her network and in my area. Until I was able to find someone local she committed to driving 30-40 minutes just to walk my dog. When the copy of my key didn't work for the main apartment enterance she went from door to door and found one that the key was able to open. The 30minute walk turned into almost 2 hours of trying to get into the building. It takes a very special person who truly cares about animals to go through all of that just for one customer and one dog. If you're lucky enough to live within her radius, contact Erika, she cares about your pup as much as you do.
I can't say enough about Erika and Summerhill Pet-Sitting. We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and luckily she was available. She took great care of our cat Redman for us, showed up when she said she would and left everything cleaner than when we left. And Redman loved her. We'll definitely be using her again...
