We had a lovely time house-siting for matt and Fran. They were a very welcoming couple and Fran even welcomed me with a pan atone cake upon arrival, minding benny was a joy he was a typical beagle full of energy and he was very inquisitive sniffing and exploring in the local parks. He was very excited the first day but quickly settled down the next day as he got use to us. There was clear instructions about bennys care and the house from Fran and Matt and Fran was very good to answer any questions I had.There house was very comfortable with all the mod cons , with extra security with the fob at the door which made me feel safe and secure. There was was lovely parks close by that was great for bringing benny to , having a bit experience with younger dogs maybe an advantage. I would definitely house sit again and highly recommend this sit.
Of all my stays in BK thus far, this luxury sit was an easy favorite. Ian & Rachel were kind, prompt and communicative throughout the entire experience. They were quick to reply and very well organized with a handmade, detailed outline of everything needed in their space. I especially respected their clean and artful apartment with amazing amenities and iconic city views. Chowder is a stunning ginger kitty with a loving and cuddly energy. As a decade long NYC resident, this location has it all, including my highest recommendation. Thank you!
The timing of this housesit could not have been anymore perfect as I was travelling to Poole for a beach volleyball competition over my birthday weekend. Sophie was an amazing pet parent and host. Her flexibility with timings and accommodation to my teammate exemplifies why we need more Sophie's in the world. From the moment we arrived, she had a "go-with-the-flow" attitude which made the weekend more memorable. She showed me the lay of the land and let us drop off our bags while her family continued to pack for their holiday. Sophie's property is stunning with multiple floors, a large lounge, and an even larger kitchen. The property is located a 2-minute walk from the Parkstone train station, making the access to and from very easy. Gizmo and Percy were two easy-going cats. As long as their bowls were filled, they were able to come and go as they pleased. Percy was more affectionate than Gizmo, but given the housesit was only 2 nights, Gizmo may just need a bit more warming up to. They both love to chase a feather on a string and their recall from a rattling can of biscuits is amazing. I always wondered where they had just arrived from. Overall, the perfect opportunity and I thank Sophie so much for accepting me for this housesit. 10/10 would housesit again.
This was my first trustedhousesitters sit and it felt like home from home. Nice house with everything you could need, comfortable, and three adorable cats! Most of my communication was with Amie and she was very responsive before and during the sit, responding to messages quickly. The welcome pack gave me lots of info before I arrived, and Pete took me through final bits when I arrived. Onto the cats… Anushka and Ruby spent lots of time with me, sometimes following me around, playing, wanting cuddles, and sometimes going off to do their own thing. They were absolutely gorgeous and so friendly! They also spent lots of time interacting with each other which was lovely to watch. Rocky was more nervous of me and was out mostly, keeping himself to himself; I was only there for a few days so he didn’t have time to fully settle with me, but he came over for some strokes – that was a result! St Albans centre is a short walk away, with loads going on there. All in all a lovely experience 😊

We recently used the spa services at Wag Hotels for our two golden retrievers, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The team did an amazing job—our dogs came back happy, squeaky clean, and perfectly dried. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Booking was simple, and check-in and check-out were quick and efficient. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets in their care. We’ll definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!
I am really impressed by the staff at Wag. We’ve been taking our dog here for about three years. Everyone we have met has been outstanding. It is more expensive than some of the other places we previously tried, but the quality of attention and care is absolutely worth it. We have a rescue dog who can be very timid around strangers. The staff at Wag has always been warm, kind, and caring with him. They remember him by name when we bring him in and treat him as if he was their own. Most importantly, our dog has opened up and now greets the staff as people he trusts.
Hi! I’ve been taking my dog to Wag for the past 6 months and I am truly grateful I found this place. Everyone is so kind, helpful, and great with my dog 🐕. I want to give a shout out to Miracle and Taryn. Super sweet and I enjoy sharing stories of our dogs together. Keep up the positive caring crew for our fur babies. My dog looks forward to her play dates there wagging tail and all!! ☺️ Best, Julie 😃
I have been taking my dog to Wag since she was a puppy 3.5 years ago. She goes for all-day play there, and she loves it. The staff there is super friendly, treats her like their own, and takes really good care of my dog.
We have been taking our dog to Wag Hotel in Redwood City for years. They take excellent care of our dog. Earlier this year, our dog had an emergency health problem. We were promptly called, but were in flight and didn’t get the call until we landed. Our dog was taken to a local animal hospital for treatment. We were kept informed the whole time and felt like she was in excellent hands so we didn’t have to immediately return home. All was good in the end, she was given antibiotics and returned to Wag where they gave our dog her medication exactly as the vet instructed them to. Overall we have been very happy with Wag’s professionalism and kindness.
I only book with Wag, and they never disappoint! Owning a Great Dane means I need a sitter who can handle his size and personality, and the team at Wag is absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure my dog is well cared for, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I always receive updates and photos, which give me peace of mind while I’m away. If you’re looking for reliable and caring pet care, I highly recommend Wag!
The wag hotel in redwood City provides an adequate service. They seem to really care about the animals and provide photos when you're away. I gave instructions for him not to play with other dogs and not to let him play with any other toys except for the two that I provided. (He has been sick in the past so I didn't want him exposed). One of the photos they sent me was with another toy in his mouth. The second criticism I have is the cost. My boy was there for less than 36 hours and it was astronomical in price. For 36 hours of boarding. And one 20 minute ball session for each day cost me over $250. Just ridiculous. Unfortunately, I will have to find an alternative for next time I'm out of town.
I'm new to Wag Redwood City and so far our experience has been positive. Our pups appear to be well cared for, the employees are well trained and appear to genuinely care for pets. I've found the employees to be transparent and informative in communicating even on the rare occasion someone has gotten it wrong, which we appreciate. Thank you to the Wag Redwood City staff. We appreciate the service you provide and the calming classical music played in the lobby...no doubt a good thing for pets and humans alike.
This is a great facility for taking care of dogs when your work or life expects you to travel without your dogs. We have only used overnight stays and not day boarding. We have left our dogs at length about 5-7 days and they have come back home safe and happy. I do think private rooms are better equipped to take care of dogs. The staff are courteous and they take time to respond with relevant and appropriate messages when we usually call back to check on pets.
Close miss on a 5 star review, here is our breakdown. We will board again at Redwood City Wag. It was clean, the staff up front was super friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. It was organized and geared towards our pets. There was even a cute welcome sign for our dogs at the front door when we showed up. Overall our dogs were given food each meal time and their treats we left them in each meal bag. They did have water too. We did receive our photo memories of the dogs each day so we know they were taken out for their Specialized Care time. The cameras worked and never stopped working so we had constant access to see them while in their room. We also received report cards on each dog about their stay. They had a grooming appointment the day before their stay so we passed on the complimentary grooming that was included in the package we chose. But, both dogs came home clean. Their room was clean the whole stay of 7 days. They called us promptly when they noticed the appetite was low for both dogs and asked if they could add a topper to entice them to eat. We have zero qualms about their care and services for the dogs. Here is the dock in one star We boarded our two large dogs here because they had an ultra suite available and we wanted a larger space for them to be in while we were out of town for 8 days. We originally were booked at the Santa Clara location but we could not get them the ultra suite. The largest room they had available was big enough comfortably for one large dog. So we switched last minute to the Redwood City location purely for that reason. Both our dogs are rescues with horrible start to life backgrounds so we knew giving them extra comfort and keeping them together was a key to their stay here so they did not feel dumped. They each had their toy they loved and their night time milk bone with no problems or objections from Wag. Where our only issue is was when we arrived we asked to see the room they were in. Not a tour, just walk back with them to say bye. We wanted this because we know how sensitive our dogs are to our leaving and this was the first time boarding them anywhere (normally they stay with family). We were quickly rejected by the site supervisor to our request - just cold and curt. It didn’t sit well for the money we were spending to board them there- but on a more personal standpoint, the customer service from her specifically made the difference here from a five star to a four star review. This was also for our own comfort as we were going to be out of state, it was our first time boarding our Dog's and far enough away that we couldn’t get to them quickly if needed. (We did have an emergency contact on file if anything happened.) We were the only drop off in the lobby and staff was able to retrieve and send home two other dogs from the play area quickly while we were there getting checked in. A totally separate individual came out to take our dogs back to their room and both our dogs were trying to stay with us instead of going in the back. He was kind and gentle with the dogs but us walking them back would have made all parties more at ease. It was stressful for our dogs and us, their/our trip could have started off much differently and better than it did. This put their staff in an unnecessary and uncomfortable position. Regardless of the situation that didn’t allow us to walk back with them, it could have been handled better from their own leadership on site. When you are running a pet hotel it should be obvious that you are working with families that value their pets and treat them as family. No one wants to start their boarding experience with their dogs fighting to not go in the back. That extra minute of conversation and understanding or walking them back instead of seeing them fight not to go would have been the chef’s kiss. We would recommend and stay again at Wag Redwood City.
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.
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 !
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.
We love Woofs and Wiggles. The staff couldn't be nicer people. After a 10 day boarding stay, I was expecting to take my dog home straight to the bath. Much to my surprise they bathed her - on the house - and she was so happy and tired after her stay.
We, and most importantly our pup Charlie, love Woofs and Wiggles! Johnny and his whole staff are so kind, responsive, and accommodating, always listening carefully to our instructions on Charlie's quirks and boarding needs. They're truly dog whisperers. And the facilities are so clean and cute; pups grouped by size have their own play area with lots of toys and places to nap. They even put up hilarious halloween decor. In other doggy daycares, Charlie would whine or hang back when we tried to drop him off at daycare, and this is the first and only place where he bounds in excitedly like a little prince. And every day he comes back tired, somehow nice-smelling, and happy!
My dog loves going for walks with Amy! I always judge a person by the way my animals react to them; Amy was warmly welcomed by both my cats and dog. Truly a perfect fit! She is very easy to work with. When I'm away it is a great comfort to receive updates from Amy of how my animals are doing. I would highly recommend this service!
We have used Amy's pet sitting services for years now, both for our old (senior/special needs) cat, and now for our two young kittens. She has never let us down. We are so glad to have someone in the area we can trust!
I don't know about the walks I'm sure they're great. But I refferred all my friends to work for her and gave her many hours of service, she didn't even reply to me many times and when she finally did she treated me like yesterday's tomatoes. It seems like it was all fake.
We called for a quote. She heard our dates and immediately said “We don’t have availability on those dates.” and then immediately clicked (hung up) on me without letting me get a word in. Call me old fashioned, but this is certainly not how you interact with potential clients. I was going to consider her business for other dates but wouldn’t because of this lack of basic decency.
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.
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.
Ryan took such good care of my three kitties while I was away! They aren’t used to strangers but they took to Ryan quickly. He kept me updated with daily photos and I came home to happy, contented cats. Thank you Ryan!
Ryan is the best. He takes such great care of my dog Bodhi. I fully trust that my fur baby is in the best hands when I leave him for doggie daycare. I highly recommend Ryan's services!
My dog, Elsa, loves coming to Tyson for daycare every Friday. She can't wait to get through the doors. Tyson takes very good care of her. They match her up with dogs of similar energy/personality. She is clean and happy when I pick her up. They let me know when Elsa had a cut on her tail last year ( injured at home, I did not even notice) and advised me how to keep it clean and bandaged before I was able to get her in to see the vet. Tyson used to take care of my last dog Gitta from 2008 to 2019. This is a wonderful family business. They've been around for decades and the reason is simple, they are honest and they know what they are doing.
My dog Bama has never loved a kennel more! Bama and I were greeted instantly by warm smiles and the check in process was easy. Upon pickup, Bama hardly wanted to leave because he had such a lovely time. He met a new best friend Delta, a German Shepard. And the manager Tiffany was able to check me out with ease and great service! Ignore the bad reviews here. As a long time Menlo Park resident, it’s not a coincidence that the bad reviews started when they built the new apartments next door. Seems to me the people who live next door ought to move away from business that’s been here for 20+ years.
We have boarded our sweet Golden Doodle, Cashew, at Tyson Kennels numerous times, and the experience is off the charts amazing. If only we could always bring him with us on vacation, but Tyson Kennels truly makes it a treat for both us and Cashew, and makes going on vacation that much sweeter. From the moment we drop him off, Tyson Kennels goes above and beyond to treat each pet with love, care, and personalized attention. 👩⚕️ - Passionate and Attentive Staff: The attached video of one of the staff members speaks for itself! The staff's passion for animals is radiating, and their genuine care shines through in every interaction. They take the time to understand Cashew’s unique personality and needs, ensuring a tailor-made experience. 🚶♂️ - 10/10 Daycare: Cashew enjoys daycare and afternoon walks, ensuring lots of exercise and playtime. The facility's designated daycare areas allow for safe and happy adventures. The attentive staff ensures our pet's happiness - and Cashew is always exhausted when we pick him up! 🏡 - Comfort: The facility provides a safe and flexible environment for Cashew, which is the most important thing to us. The spacious kennels and play areas showcase their commitment to the well-being and happiness of every dog in their care. 🛁 - Grooming Services: Opting for grooming services is always a fantastic decision. Our Golden Doodle comes home looking and feeling amazing, a testament to the customer service and attention to detail provided. 📷 - Photo Updates: Tyson Kennels takes the extra step by providing heartwarming photo updates of all the dogs during their stay. It is always such a sweet touch that always keeps us connected and at ease - he always seems to be having more fun than us! In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Tyson Kennels to fellow dog owners. Five stars don't do justice to the exceptional service, personalized care, and genuine love for animals. The management team truly understands and cherishes the unique qualities of each pet, making it our go-to choice for all our future boarding needs! 🐾✨
My dog has gone to Tyson's since he was a puppy. He loves running around with all the other dogs. They are great with him and he always comes back home tired. The staff is awesome, happy to switch to overnight stay if we need last minute and even help with diet restrictions when it comes to treats. They are all very friendly and love the pets that come to visit for the day or stay for boarding.
Been using the boarding and day care services for over 3 years now. Everyone at Tyson Kennels are amazing. They have the best staff. My dog, brutus loves the place. This is his second home. They take such good care of him and go out of their way to make him feel loved and comfortable.
Ever since I adopted my Maltipoo (four years ago), I've been bringing him to Tyson's for doggy daycare. A friend introduced me to them, and I've never regretted taking him there. They have the most awesome staff! There is very low turnover, so you regularly see the same people. With so much longevity, the staff really get to know you and your dog(s). They know how your dog likes to play and with which other dogs or staffers. I especially want to call out Mona, Vanessa and Pablo for being so wonderful. I love the fact that there are both indoor and outdoor play areas that the dogs cycle through. Plus, they celebrate the dogs' birthdays and have a fabulous Halloween costume contest. As soon as I turn onto Haven, my dog gets very excited, because he knows he's going to a happy place. I appreciate the daily photos so I can see him at play. There's also a webcam, that I never remember to check out.
LOVE this kennel!! I am one of those over obsessive dog mothers who never wants to leave her baby. Tyson Kennel put me at ease. From the moment I meet the staff and walked the facilities I knew I could trust them to take good care of my boy. Fast forward when I picked him up from his stay he was soo happy, I was afraid he didn’t want to leave🤣 Thank you Tyson Kennels for helping this over protective mom relax and enjoy her vacation knowing my boy was in good hands♥️
I have been taking my dog, a 12-year old Chiweenie -- as well as my other dog before he passed -- to Tyson for daytime dogcare and occasional overnight boarding since 2016. My dog enjoys spending time at Tyson. They provide him with a clean, safe, and fun environment in which to interact with and play with other dogs. I could work from home every day, but I choose to go into the office a couple days a week so that my little buddy can have regular, consistent dog socialization time at Tyson. They have shown great affection and care for my dog and, since there are usually others dropping off or picking up their dogs when I'm there, I have seen that Tyson staff are equally warm and engaging with every dog in their care. (I tell them that if something happens to me, my will leaves my dog in the care of staff at Tyson.) #jokingnotjoking A colleague of mine recommended Tyson to me back in 2016, and now I, too, recommend Tyson to everyone I know who is in need of dogcare and/or boarding services. They are professional, have a lot of experience caring for dogs (and cats), treat our furkids like their own, and are warm and friendly to us humans, too. :)
I am so grateful I found Tyson Kennel. I am always apprehensive about leaving my boys in someone else’s hands but I wanted them to be able to get exercise and have fun while I was at work. I shopped several kennels looking for the right fit. I knew immediately that Tyson was the place for me and the boys. The staff is so friendly and truly love my dogs. I love that my boys get so excited when I turn into the drive way. Thank you Tyson for taking such good care of my guys.
Tyson kennels has been a long standing member of the dog community. I’ve met dogs from their program, have seen the results of their training recommendations, and have had the pleasure of meeting a variety of people both directly in their team and well acquainted with their team. They know their dogs, and their passion for the physical and mental wellbeing of the individual dogs who pass through their hands is apparent. While I have not used their boarding services, this is due to distance- I have zero concerns about boarding my shepherd with them in the future should I need to.
