Martin, Amandeep, and Arran were the most wonderful Housesitters and guests! My husband, Ian, and I were so sad that we didn't get to spend more time together. They are a lovely family who have a true passion and love for animals. We have four miniature dachshunds, three of which require daily medication. Our fourth and youngest dog was only 6 months old when they stayed in our home, but that was not an issue for them at all. They followed all of our instructions exactly, and asked clarifying questions to ensure our dogs received the care they're accustomed to. Best of all, they took care of our home and relinquished it back to us in the condition we left it: clean and tidy. Martin, Amandeep, and Arran bonded so well with our dogs. We loved seeing how much they loved on them. These are great people - you shouldn't hesitate to award them your next sit.
Sherree was a great sitter for our cat Beau, I think they got along well and Beau didn’t miss us which is a plus! I felt I could rely on Sherree being there for Beau throughout the stay which was a weight off our minds as it was quite a long sit. Sherree kept the house tidy and was a quiet and considerate guest for our neighbours too. Thanks very much. Tom & Kim

Today I picked up Taffy, my Pembroke Welch Corgi! She thinks her owner is a queen , however, I’m just an aid for children with disabilities. Violet keeps her looking like a queen owns her. Thank you violet for being a gentle and very good groomer! I would recommend you any time!
I am so GRATEFUL that I found Grateful Dog Daycare! I've taken advantage of their overnight and long-term boarding services. As you can see from the photo, Ariel and I have trouble leaving one another. However, she always comes home healthy and happy after staying with the Grateful Dog Staff who are so very helpful and kind. If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would!
even though it wasn't a fit for my pooch, excellent facility and staff. We love their grooming services. Their staff are fantastic and my dog always leaves looking and smelling her best.
it's pricier than most such places but you get what you pay for – they really do treat your dog well and pay attention to them and keep them safe. peace of mind is worth it!
Awesome place, rayvin loves her spa package and nail file... The staff is friendly the prices are affordable. Thank you 😊 …
We've been taking our 14 year old Westie here for six years for grooming. Now they are his favorite place to go for doggy day care as well. Everyone is so professional and patient with him now that he's getting very stubborn in his old age. Definitely I'm glad for this essential worker! Just look at that smile🐾💗 …
I take my 40lb doodley dog to get groomed here and they do an amazing job, every time! They even have a little slab with fur lengths so you can visualize ideal lengths for the cut. It helps me out A LOT. My pup comes out looking great no matter which groomer he sees. He’s also quite nervous but they take good care of him while he’s there.
This place is amazing. Has Self-Wash Dog Grooming. The Staff very professional and friendly and very clean place.
Ramsey loves Grateful Dog Daycare! His groomer did a phenomenal job! I'm usually very hesitant to try a new groomer because I'm very picky about his cut. I described everything I wanted and I'm very pleased with the result. 😊 …
Cant speak on the daycare, I bring my Abba here for grooming stuff. Good price given the end results, that and my dog has never been uncomfortable here like some other places.
Can't say enough good things about Midtown Mutts! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about the dogs they work with. My dog loves the trainers and enjoys coming to class, plus it's a great way to tire him out when the weather is bad. We've been bringing our dog here practically since we got him, starting with the puppy socialization classes and now continuing with weekly classes to reinforce his training and learn new skills. I really appreciate that they offer classes throughout the week on a variety of topics with different trainers, so it never feels stagnant or repetitive. They make dog training both fun and interesting!
Highly recommend the team at Midtown Mutts! As return to office has added more and more days per week, we searched high & low for a reliable dog service. Driving to one of the various doggy daycare options didn’t fit in with our schedule so we were pleased when we found Midtown Mutts. They offer 30, 45 or 60 minute dog walks which enables Georgia to get out of the house mid day to relieve herself or smell a different patch of grass. The staff is fantastic and we love getting the detailed after visit summary. They know Georgia and are aware of her idiosyncrasies.
The Midtown Mutts team walked and took care of our dear dog for almost two years until we had to say goodbye. Even as he aged and his needs were more complex, the dog walkers were always patient and caring (pro-tip: sign up your senior dog for at least the 30 minute walk so neither the dog walker nor your dog feel rushed). Here's a picture of him on one of his numerous walks with the wonderful team, and an especially big thank you to Joanne!
I was enjoying this service with their reports that include pictures and a brief description of the visit until the walker left my back door open on a nearly 100 degree day in a not great neighborhood. My house was unsecured for 4 hours until I got home from work. Would not recommend to others
Cannot say enough great things about Midtown Mutts. We have a 12 year old jack Russell who is a rescue and doesn’t do well with other dogs or boarding. MM comes to our home and takes amazing care of her! Here’s a recent email I sent them: “Just wanted to say a big thank you to your team for taking such great care of our dog, Maggie! She can be a crotchedly little lady and isn’t the easiest to care for sometimes, but I know she warms up to you all whenever you come by for a visit. We have been hesitant to leave her because her health isn’t doing too well, but your team makes it easier! We love how thoughtful the email updates and photos are each visit and know that she is getting amazing care. We especially appreciate the efforts to clean up after her when she spills her water or has an accident in her crate.”
What a WONDERFUL service provider. I have a large Staffordshire terrier rescue that is strong and sometimes reactive to other dogs. Midtown Mutts actually trains their walkers with positive reinforcement techniques. They also have special safety gear to ensure there are no accidental incidents when the dog might get loose and run into traffic or get into a scuffle with another dog. A great system for booking and invoicing and very reliable. I love the photos that I get from the walkers. They are great with dogs providing affection, mental stimulation, and safety. Thank you!
Thanks for taking care of Ichiro (aka churro) while I was in the service. We came by to say hi today while visiting sac but unfortunately you guys were closed. Highest rec for midtown mutts!
Midtown Mutts has been a lifesaver for me. I work long hours in a hospital and always worry about my dog. After doing some research, I found Midtown Mutts. I met with the owner, Cassie, and she was amazing and and made me feel very comfortable. All of the dog walkers that I have had so far are great! They treat my dog like a king! They always refill his water and give him treats! He loves them! I love getting the email everyday with a brief description of the walk and 3 pictures! I would 10/10 highly recommend this company for dog walking.
As a travel nurse, it can be a daunting task trying to find dog care while in a new city. But, I’m thankful to have found Midtown Mutts! I appreciated the email updates after dog walks, and I was spoiled by the flexible schedule Midtown Mutts provides. I was also a fan of how seamless scheduling is via their online portal for clients. Highly recommend. Stormie and I will miss you guys!
Midtown Mutts took care of my cat for 3 days while I was out of town. They sent me daily emails with brief report and pictures after each visit and really gave me peace of mind that my cat is in good hands while I'm gone. They responded promptly to emails and their prices are more than fair. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.
Took our Golden to the splash pad night. They had the nicest facility!! So much room for the dogs to run around in, very clean and no broken toys/furniture. My golden had so much fun and I will definitely be signing her up for a day care session.
Great place to take your dog for day care or swim fun. I've taken my bullmastiff to day care and open swim. She lived both and came home tired and happy. Bit expensive buy you're paying for good care of your dog. I really appreciate that they screen your pet and have separation of different temperaments. Open swim in wknds is great and pretty cheap at $10 per dog. I highly recommend and will be back often. They have boarding service too, but I've never used it.
We rented the pool with some dog park friends and had a blast. The staff are very friendly and the pool was ready to have our pack of dogs rage. Some seating provided, bring a towel for yourself and wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked because the dogs will shake all over you!
Our baby loves her stays here and comes home happy having played with dogs for a week while we go on vacation.. take your baby here and see how great this place is!! 💙🙏🤙 See healthy happy tired.. good girl. …
We love taking our fur baby here! Bailey the front desk gal is so professional and sweet!
The staff here is great! Our pup had an amazing day swimming here, we are planning on coming back for daycare :) (And I must say... It's so refreshing to find a place where pitbulls are treated equally!)
I took my dog, Huffy, to the Animal Den for their open swim. She had a blast! All the doggies loved the pool and I got to enjoy some wine while she played. It was a win all around! My only gripe is the admission fee is $10. The fee is reasonable but it does keep us from going as frequently as we would like!
My dog has been going here for daycare 4 days a week for the last year and is so happy and excited whenever we arrive. Previous places we went for daycare I could see him on camera just sitting by the gate wanting to leave, and he was never eager to walk through the door. I think the staff here have gotten to know him and what makes him happy to be there so he feels much more comfortable. They also do cute holiday activities and dogs of the week which are adorable extra touches. Overall it’s been a great experience!
Such nice and caring individuals! They can accommodate almost anything! Very patient and compassionate for not only the fur babies but the fur parents as well! As for my Meeko he is having the time of his life for his first time. He is literally smiling. Great decision to board him here. I would high recommend this place!
They have been taking care of my loved ones for nearly 40 years. I've never boarded my dogs anywhere else and hope I never have to. They give great care and love and my dogs have fun there. And I have peace of mind.
River dogs resort is absolutely amazing! I am a bit overly protective of my dog and I never hesitate to leave him at River dogs resort. He can tell when we’re pulling into their driveway and is immediately excited. He gets to play with lots of friendly dogs all day and I never have to worry about how he is doing. The owner, Dina, is a true dog lover and treats all the dogs as if they are her own. She is flexible and always looking out for what will be best for your dog. My dog is an 85 pound German shepherd mix who has lots of energy and he always comes home happy and tired. You should look no further if you want a place your doggo will love.
Our dogs love Dina and being at River Dogs. She treats them like family. She has been flexible with us, and we trust her to care for our dogs
River Dogs is a home-away-from-home for our 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Emma. She is always in a good mood after we pick her up. The owner, Dina, is very good at communication and sends photos during Emma’s stays, which are always appreciated. I would recommend highly recommend boarding your dog here.
River Dogs is considered a second home for my dogs. I have been a faithful client for over two years (2-3 days a week) and have only great things to say. The owner Dina, and all of the other staff at River Dogs ensure that my dogs are safe and looked after, that they have fun and come home tired, and that I have complete peace of mind when they are under their care. The Resort is well maintained, and the location is very convenient. My dogs love Dina, they are always so excited to see her, and I love Dina for always working with me and taking great care of my babies. Consistent, reliable, caring, willing, and professional.
River Dogs is the best! our dog loves it there and the owner is so nice and helpful and loves dogs! our flight was canceled at Christmas and rescheduled for days later after we had already dropped our dog off. River Dogs extended our kennel time so we could spend longer with family and took such good care of her. so helpful and understanding!!!!! will always go there!!!
We’ve been bringing our dog here for the past five years and it’s so nice to have a dependable spot when heading out of town. Our dog loves staying at River Dogs and each time I feel confident that he is well cared for and having fun. He always comes back tired and happy!
Yep, a 5 star review for Dina and River Dog Resort! We needed a last minute fun and safe spot for our 12 yo American Foxhound and were so happy Dina had an opening for Chuck. Shortly after arriving, Chuck was adventurous and tried to escape by scaling a fence but Dina did not let that affect her ability to provide safe and loving care for his stay. Upon our return she told us what happened and figured out solutions for his next stay communicating in a professional, caring and understanding way. We are impressed and highly recommend RDR!
Our boxer Abbey LOVES going to see Miss Dina every week! Abbey always has such a fun time playing with her dog buddies. We also board our dog here a few times a year and always know she will be very well taken care of. River Dogs Resort is such a great location and we will never go anywhere else!
Dina and her staff have been taking care of our two large dogs for about 5 years now! They were always responsive and easy to do pick ups and drop offs. The pups were always well cared for, happy to go(could not wait to get taken back to play!!), and exhausted when we picked them up! We were very sad to move away because it was such a wonderful gift to have found such a caring place for our fur-babies! I recommend them without any hesitation!!!
We have always been a let's-find-a-house-sitter type family. We were in a pinch and River Dogs came to the rescue! We have ditched a house sitter completely now, as our rambunctious golden puppy loves to wrestle and play in their large yard while our small dog hangs out, snuggles and shares kisses with Dina. We highly recommend giving River Dogs a whirl!
Reliable and totally responsible, Five Stars house and Pet Sitting makes my dog and cat happy when we travel. We’ve used this service for years and everything has been absolutely worry free.
My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭
I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!
My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.
I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾
Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.
I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!
We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!
First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.
Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!
They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!
I cannot recommend Cha Cha's highly enough. My dog, Penny, has been going to daycare for a couple of years now, and I continue to be impressed with the staff's enthusiasm and care for my girl. The minute she realizes where we're going, she'll start her happy vocalizations in the car, and as soon as we arrive, she is DRAGGING me through the front gate to go play with her friends. Something I really love about Cha Cha's is that the staff doesn't just sit there and observe the dogs - they actively engage with them - enrichment activities, snuggles, etc. It makes my heart so happy to see my pup so happy there. For me, having separate spaces for big and little dogs is a huge plus, as Penny is very nervous around high-energy/boisterous big dogs. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure every dog is comfortable and well-taken-care-of. In addition to daycare, I've also used Cha Cha's boarding services and more recently, their grooming services, and have been really happy with all of it. While these services aren't "cheap," everything is priced competitively/reasonably and frankly, the care your dog will get is worth ten times what you're charged. And I feel good about supporting a small business that gives back to its community, supporting many of the same groups and organizations that I do. Bottom line: Penny and I love Cha Cha's and know you will too! ❤
My dog has been going to Cha Cha’s for several years. She loves it and is so well taken care of. But just recently did I see just how much she’s loved there. This is Leo - he sat and pet these pups so calmly and gently. My dog (on his lap) couldn’t get enough. I am so grateful for Leo and how sweet he is with the doggies. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my fur baby!!
My dog has been going to Cha Cha’s for day care, boarding and grooming services since she was 4 months old. She loves it there and staff treat her as their own. Cha Cha’s is my dog’s home away from home! I highly recommend Cha Cha’s for all your dog’s needs.
The staff at Cha Cha’s is amazing. My dogs have been going here for the last 3 years.. they have been so patient with my kiddos and I absolutely trust them with their care. One of my dogs has health issues and the staff has been great wit Th meeting his needs. I love these folks dearly and I highly recommend their services.
I recently took my dog to Cha Cha's, and I couldn't be happier! The staff was welcoming, and the groomer listened to my preferences, making my pup feel at ease. When I picked him up, he looked adorable - his coat was shiny, and the trim was perfect! The salon was clean, and they even provided helpful tips for at-home care. I highly recommend Cha Cha's for a fantastic grooming experience. We'll definitely be back!
My little Jackie loves Cha Cha’s, and so do I. I can check in on Jackie during the day via the live cameras and I see a happy dog. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. They seem to really enjoy the animals. They provide a safe environment for my dog to socialize and play with other dogs. At the end of the day, I pick up a tired and happy dog.
Cha Cha’s is the best! I’ve been taking my little rat terrier here for years- not only do they love her, but they always do a fantastic job! Julie is an amazing groomer and Heather at the front desk is always friendly and accommodating. I was even able to make a same-day appointment
We love Cha Cha's! We come here 2x a week for daycare, some grooming and lots of boarding throughout the year. The staff, literally everyone, is always so welcoming and kind to my guy. Arthur, my Boston Terrier, has a unique personality and can sometimes be weary of new people. Everyone knows this about him and they all give him his space and time to warm up when he comes in. The staff communicates well with me and go above in working with Arthur to break out of his shell. He comes home happy and exhausted. Having Cha Cha's as part of Arthur's routine has been so great for him!
Our rescue dog, Marty, has been going to Cha Cha's since she was 2 years old in 2019. She goes multiple times a week for day care, gets monthly grooming, and boarding occasionally. We absolutely love the staff and greatly appreciate the care they provide. We know she has a blast every time she is there and wouldn't trust her with anyone else!
This review has been a long time coming. From the time you step in the door with your fur baby(s), people are friendly, pleasant, attentive, and in great spirits! My dog is running for the front door when we arrive, which makes me feel like I'm a good dog Mom. He comes home tired and freshly bathed, ready for dinner and, evening snuggles. Thank you to everyone who works so hard in keeping my puppy safe and happy. I know he's Loved! Thank you so much!
Carl is amazing and knows his stuff. He has helped me with several dogs that I've had issues with. He is amazing in his ability to read a dogs behavior. I would highly recommend him to anyone having behavior issues with their dogs.
Sarah of Romeo & Friends has done a phenomenal job at both dog walking and boarding for overnight stays. She is kind, professional, and quick to respond. My dogs absolutely love her, and I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking for someone to love your dogs as much as you do!
Romeo and Friends is the best thing that happened in our lives. Bailey is a large puppy who did not do well crated. Now I know he’s safe and gets to play with his dog friends. Bailey was recently boarded when I had a procedure and he gets picked up for daycare since I can’t drive at this time. I don’t know what we would have done without Sarah at Romeo and Friends.
Sarah is great with dogs! She has a way of working with my dog that makes him look forward to seeing her and spending time with her. I would absolutely trust Romeo & Friends with your dogs.
Sarah is the best! Always responsive and great for the dogs… she makes it easy to make plans and know our dogs will be safe. She has been amazing for our dogs and family.
Sara is always upbeat and loves our dog who is high energy and can be challenging during her walks. I highly recommend her services.
Sarah took care of one of my dogs and my three ducks while I was on vacation and I cannot rave about her enough. She was trustworthy, a great communicator and all my animals were very well taken care of. As soon as you meet her it is incredibly obvious how much she loves animals and that their safety and happiness is her priority. As a crazy pet mom I am fully at peace when she is watching my animals. I highly recommend using this company.
Sarah took great care of our pup while we were gone for the weekend. She demonstrates knowledge of all types of breeds and pet personality types, and with her experience as a vet tech, I had no concerns with leaving our dog with her. Her home is well set up for pet sitting, and her passion for top-notch care is clear! Will book her every time we need a sitter.
Sarah is great and Chito always is happy to see her 😻 …
Was assured by owner that staff would respect and secure my home and they did not. Front door was left unlocked while walker was out with my dog and back door left unlocked and open when they left. Staff also forced my fearful dog into a harness before earning their trust, sent me a report photo of her looking extremely uncomfortable in my kitchen. I let them go after four days and would not recommend them to anyone
I have trusted the care of my furry friends to Janet and her team for 16 years now. They have been through a lot with me and my cat crew - saying hello to new furry faces and some goodbyes too. I realize as I begin to think about traveling again, that using Janet and Lucky Buddy to take care of Finn while I am away is critical to me feeling comfortable. When it comes to the pets who depend on me, I have a hard time assuming that "no news is good news", so I really love the daily photos and updates. The staff is really proactive about the pet's comfort, and I know I could count on Janet to do anything needed. That's really important to me when I am out of town and sometimes very far away.
I’ve been having Janet and her team care for my sweet dog Diamond for years. I enjoy the updates they give me via email each time they visit her and I’m away, along with a sweet photo of my dog. I can tell they are people who truly care for animals and I like when they bring attention to any concerns they’ve noticed with her. They have always been accommodating to the schedule that I have and I truly appreciate them.
In a word, amazing! I had a serious medical emergency and was hospitalized with no notice. Janet and the team stepped in the same day and took care of my pup for days until I was able to return home. Thank you Lucky Buddy Petcare!
Janet and her team are really in love with animals. I’ve petsat for friends and colleagues and the overall vibe from this small group of dedicated part-timers is an appreciation of your home and your animals’ comfort in it. They also are mindful of bro gong in packages/mail and watering plants, so bonus. Also, they include pictures and little fun reports on the pets’ “state of mind” Worth it every time.
Janet is awesome and we love being able to rely on her and her team to take care of our fur babe. Thank you for loving him as much as we do!
Daily updates with amazing service.
Ignacio, we appreciate your removing this review from 2018. We haven't taken care of you and I believe you intended this review for another company? Thank you for removing it. Kindly, Janet
