Come home to a clean house and happy pets! Non-smoking homes only.
Jeanne and Robert are truly exceptional. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had them look after everything while we were away. They are among the kindest and most caring people you could ever meet. When our mischievous dogs got into chocolate we’d left out as a welcome gesture (a huge mistake!), one of them fell ill during their stay. Jeanne took it upon herself to provide round-the-clock care for Nugget, even staying up all night to ensure she was okay. Their dedication was remarkable, and we’re so grateful for all their hard work. Robert handled all the mess the dogs created, both inside and outside, ensuring everything was spotless when we returned. All the linens and towels were laundered before we got back too! To top it off, they prepared a delicious soup for our arrival and even hand crafted a thoughtful gift for us and our daughter. Their generosity and thoughtfulness went above and beyond, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did! I know this was not an easy housesit for them. We are sorry beyond words for everything they had to go through but couldn't be more thankful for more capable and loving hands 💕 THANK YOU AGAIN JEANNE AND ROBERT!!!

Travel-loving retiree looking for short stays to care for your home and pets!
Jan is amazing! We planned our trip quite far in advance and Jan confirmed with us and kept us informed of her travel plans. She came a day early to meet our pup, Poppy, and so we could walk her through the house and get to know her a bit. She was such a pleasure to meet and it was very apparent that she loves animals. Poppy absolutely loved her, and we loved all the updates Jan sent us! Plus photos! Jan left our house in immaculate condition and even washed and folded the sheets! She left us a thank you note and some treats. If you want the best of the best for your pet and home, the best is definitely Jan!

Enjoy your travels & de-stress your pets. Have me care for them and your home.
I was pleased with Joe. He was a good communicator and took good care of my kitty and my house. All was good when I returned home. I would recommend Joe.

Travel with peace of mind!
Virginia was excellent, as her previous reviews had demonstrated. We had easy communication before, during and after the sit. She really seemed to "get" Dasha, and she left our house in tip top shape. All was as good as or better than we had left it. She was willing to extend the sit by a couple of days to help us all avoid the Labor Day traffic and that was much appreciated. I would have her back again any time and highly recommend her as a sitter. Thanks, Virginia!

Trustworthy. Level-headed. Decades of pet-mothering & home-owning experience.
What wonderful luck it was to get Jen’s quick response to my last minute request for help with my old doggie. She was a great communicator, asked all the right questions, and shared fun tidbits and pics while I was gone! Kind and caring - and neat as a pin. Thank you, thank you!!!

Vivacious digital nomad traveling the world with my animal-loving daughter, Hope
Malia and Hope were wonderful. Foxy is very shy but they gained her trust very quickly. We left Friday night and they sent me a video of her rubbing up against them the next morning. They were able to pet her and pick her up and she was very happy! They sent photos on a regular basis. They also watered our plants and brought in our mail. Our house was immaculate when they left. They were a real pleasure and we look forward to having them back.

Mature, Responsible and Loving those Pets
Elaine was a wonderful warm person who Paddy took to immediately. We had time together before and after the sit and exchanged a lot of knowledge of each other’s country. I came home to a clean and warm home with contented animals and the kettle on. Any pet would be very lucky to have Elaine look after them

You deserve to know that your fur-babes are safe and loved while you're away
Derek stayed at our house for 3 weeks and watched our kitties. He was AMAZING! Plenty of photos and videos on the regular. When we came home our house was sparkling clean - he even did the laundry! We would gladly welcome him back to our house for another sit, and you should too.

Retired professional gardeners available to care for your home, garden & pets.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $23/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Tug Dogs and owner Erin was one of the best finds in our first-time dog parent experience. We began with trainer Rebecca on some foundational training for our puppy, Bandon. These days we take him to Tug Dogs for doggy daycare 2 - 3 times per week, as well as for boarding. To say we have peace-of-mind when our dog is at Tug Dogs is an understatement! We know he is safe, having a total blast, and getting all of his high-energy needs met running, wrestling, and swimming with the other pups. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care in grouping the right pups for play, and knows/helps reinforce everything we’re working on behavior-wise. She’s also great at posting regular updates and we love being able to see what he’s up to during the day! Our dog is incredibly friendly and well-socialized with other dogs and we know it is all because of the positive experiences he has with all his doggy friends at Tug Dogs. Highly recommend Erin and her team!!
I think Erin with Tug Dogs is the 11th trainer that we contacted for help with our sweet but very sensitive 5 year-old dog. She is the only one who actually helped us make progress. She did this by teaching us how to recognize our dog’s emotions so that we can make sure to help him feel safe, which resulted in a significant decrease in his problematic behaviors. My dog is a much happier and more well-adjusted version of himself thanks to Erin guiding us on how to best support him. She has truly changed his life, and ours, and I could not be more grateful to her. I trust no one more than her when it comes to dog behavior.
This positive review has been due for a long time. Loba has been one of Erin and Tug Dogs team's clients since he was 7 months old. Debby, Loba’s big sister, joined us when she was 2 years old. We sent Loba to Tug Dogs for a 3-week board and train program 3 years ago, followed by twice-weekly daycare and boarding whenever we needed to be out of town. He has come such a long way, from being a timid, fear-aggressive dog to becoming dog-friendly and able to socialize with guests visiting our home under our guidance. We never thought these days could happen, but our dream came true with the tremendous help from Erin and the Tug Dogs team. They also offered customized new dog introduction lessons when we knew Loba desperately needed a companion. They helped us introduce Debby to our family and settle them into their new environment smoothly. Now, Loba and Debby are best friends forever, and I can’t imagine anything separating them. If you are struggling to get your life back in order, need peace of mind with dog training, daycare, and boarding, we cannot recommend trainer Erin and Tug Dogs highly enough. She saved my boy’s life from behavioral euthanasia and brought our life back on track. Now, we can go to restaurants, camping, dog parks, and anywhere else that is dog-friendly with our two fur babies. Our dream wouldn’t have come true without their professional help.
Finding Tug Dogs has absolutely been the best thing for my boy Joey and myself. Erin and her team have worked wonders with Joey, who went from shy and anxious, to an outgoing and much more confident dog. I use Tug Dogs for their boarding, daycare, and specialized training. Not only is Joey growing and gaining confidence, I am learning a tremendous amount about how to love and care for Joey the ways that will benefit him most. Everyone who knew Joey from when he came to live with me and see him now always tell me how different he is - in only the best ways. That is thanks to Tug Dogs and their incredible methods of listening to a dogs needs and then finding ways to meet those needs. A huge, ongoing, thank you to Erin and Rebecca for all you do for both of us!! I could not recommend Tug Dogs more wholeheartedly!
Ongoing socialization is crucial for the well-being of most pups. Tug Dogs provides a safe setting for just that. I am not a fan of dog parks and feel comfortable leaving Theo with Erin for the day. He absolutely loves spending time with her and the playful four-legged friends. We love Tug Dogs!
As a local trainer, I greatly appreciate connecting with fellow trainers in the community. My history with Erin goes way back to her Puppy Love Dogs days before she established Tug Dogs. Erin played a pivotal role in shaping my training career, and I owe much of my growth to her expertise. While I admit that I initially took a different path and learned some lessons the hard way, I now realize the incredible value Erin has brought since the beginning of my journey. Her contributions have been truly remarkable.
My pup, Luka, did a board and train with Erin. It was peace of mind to know while on vacation, Luka was in the great hands. Luka got to have play dates and pool parties, as well as work on his behavior. Erin is very knowledgeable and her calm energy really helped my boy. Luka and I both have learned so much and are living more balanced lives as a result. Thank you Tug Dogs!
Erin and the Tug Dogs staff have been a huge, amazing help for my reactive dog. We've gotten coaching on training techniques, advice, troubleshooting and board and train and every time I've seen clear improvement in my dog's behavior and walked away with a solid understanding of how to continue the work. I have complete confidence in Tug Dogs and highly recommend them!
A couple of years ago, my husband and I adopted a stray dog from the Placer SPCA. We knew nothing about this three year old boxer-mix; she had no name and no history. We knew she was adorable, very sweet and could walk on a leash and that was all. We didn’t know if she liked other dogs or children, so we needed an expert to decode our pups body language for us. We reached out to Erin at Tug Dogs hoping she could help us. After a one day observational visit at Tug Dogs, Erin knew just who our new girl was! We arrived to see our girl playing with other dogs (what a relief). She had tailored a plan just for us and our Roxy girl. Roxy now visits Tug Dogs regularly to spend quality time socializing in Erin’s playgroup so that positive reinforcement there, makes her a success every where we take her. She is so well behaved that she is invited back every where we visit! Roxy is a social butterfly, confident, well mannered under all circumstances and we have Erin and Tug Dogs to thank for that!!
The Trainers Course was so informative and covered so much. The format was easy to follow in that not only was there the lecture but instructional videos on every aspect of the training. The sections on behavioral and client coaching were so helpful. I have followed Erin and Tug dogs on social media for awhile, I am very impressed with her success and training methods. I highly recommend Tug dogs trainers course. I hope to be able to join the Trainers Club and anymore courses Erin offers. Thank you, Erin, and happy training 😁!
Cindy is taking care of our 2 cats now for quite some time now. They love her and she sends us pictures and short videos every day. She’s taking great care of the cats and our house too. She is very thoughtful and thorough and trustworthy.
Our kitty knew Cindy when they first met; don't know how, but it was comforting from a pet mom/dad point of view. Previous care was reliance on friends/neighbors/family. Trust of your home and your pet to a sitter was very important in selecting the right person. We have used Cindy many times and are so grateful to have her as trusted sitter.
We had a great first experience with Cindy watching our big goofball dogs. Cindy took notes at our meet and greet. Plus her forms ask all the important questions to make sure your pets get the best care. Pics and videos showed how much our boys enjoyed Cindy's visits! We already have her booked for our next getaway.
Cindy did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She’s professional and reliable. I loved getting the daily pictures. I was able to enjoy my vacations knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I’m so happy to have found her.
Cindy was just great looking after my 3 kitties! She was thorough, very responsive, and my cats loved her. Would definitely use Cindy's services again and recommend to friends and family.
Cindy is the BEST! She is very professional and takes great care of our two cats. She sends videos of the house and the one cat who usually won't come out for stranger's. She actually gets her to come out and play. She also brings in packages and mail. We love Cindy!
Cindy is the best! Our dog, cat, and lizards love when she cares for them. She keeps them so busy and happy that they don't even notice we are gone. We will use Cindy to love and care for our animals every time we need the extra help.
We had Cindy for our first time and it was a great experience. She met us and our dog ahead of time and made sure we were all comfortable and she knew all his routines. We could tell she really cared about our dog. Once we were away, she checked in often with updates and texts and photos. This gave us a sense of ease to know that our dog was being well cared for while we were away. Cindy was perfect for our anxious/protective dog and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We know we can rely on Cindy for our next getaway!
Cindy has been walking our dog at least 3 days a week for the last year and a half. Our dog loves her! She is so happy to see her. My husband and I highly recommend Cindy. She is trustworthy and reliable, but most importantly, she loves animals and takes great care of them.
Cindy is very reliable and trustworthy. She is efficient and punctual. It is such a great feeling knowing our pets are well taken care of when we are away. Cindy sent us videos of them and we were able to see how happy our dogs were with her.
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!
Ashleys is excellent. All three cats receive individual attention and any accidents or medications are professionally and politely dealt with. The on-line appointment and payment system is convenient and easy to use. Out pets are very well cared for while we are away!
I'm a veterinarian who has been using Ashley's pet sitting services consistently for at least five years. She and her team are so reliable! Once when I was traveling in 2018, my house was broken into, and thankfully the dogs were not let out by the burglars. Ashley and her team handled communication beautifully, as well as coordinating with my landlord and the police. I could not have felt more assured from afar that my pets (and my house) were being looked after appropriately. I trust Ashley's Pawsome Pet sitting and am so grateful for their attentive care to my beloved dogs Cali and Bijou. I still travel several times a year and use their services every time.
Amazing service! We were traveling for a week, and Ashleys Pawsome Pet Sitting took great care of our 2 cats. Cassidy was great, we received daily pictures of our kitties, and we could tell they really liked her. I’m definitely using them again!
My husband booked a second honeymoon in Cancun and I was anxious. I didn't know what we were going to do about care for our baby, Scarlett. A coworker recommended Ashley's Pawsome Pets and we are so thankful. They are bonded and they are background checked. We had a meet and greet with our sitter. Which I appreciated so much. Our sitter, Amanda, was absolutely wonderful. She came twice a day and was so attentive to Scarlett. I couldn't have asked for better! She is amazing! My favorite thing is they have a journal with pictures so you know everything that happens with your fur baby. My only con would be the extra fees that aren't 100% transparent. The service is pricey, (but worth it), however, when I went to pay the bill, there was an added fee for administration and then again for credit cards (which I use for security.,) I'm willing to pay whatever is needed for the care of my pet, but it was a tad surprising. Thar said, they are amazing snd we love Amsnda! We will be using them again in the future! The service is outstanding!! The attached pictures are from Amanda's very detailed journals!
We have used Ashley's Pawsome Pet sitting for every single vacation we've taken the past year and greatly appreciate the services of her staff. As someone prone to worrying, the pet journals and photos her sitters take and send daily are wonderful. While I have only had two different sitters, they are always kind, professional, and follow instructions well. I feel like my cat is in good hands when I hire a pet sitter through her.
We have left two different dogs in Ashley's care. Each time, we had so much confidence about how they were faring while we were traveling (in large part because Ashley sends pictures showing how comfortable and happy they are in her home; she sends sweet messages, too). Every aspect of the visit went exactly as planned; her website is easy to use and very informative. All in all, a very professional transaction with a very loving caregiver.
Our 2 black kitties are our pride and joy and we hate to leave them but now, in our retirement years, we are finally able to travel. After asking neighbors to feed our kitties, we tried Ashleys Pawsome and are VERY happy! We can schedule half-hour or longer sessions which include feeding, catbox cleaning and playing with our furry kids. Maybe better are the timely and thorough 'journal reports' we receive after each visit! We're told hew our pets are, and what services were rendered. Let the vacations continue!
Ashley was wonderful with our 3 dogs and cat for the two days we were away. She sent me pics of all of them each time she visited them during the day and I can say, they looked really happy! We've never left them before, so this was a fantastic experience for us, but mainly our dogs enjoyed her so much as well! Will for sure use your services in the future.
Ashley is so friendly and sweet! Her family is so welcoming and loving. She took excellent care of our pups while we got married on the coast. I loved the pictures of cuddles and the daily updates. I highly recommend her, it's a wonderful alternative to boarding.
Ashley's Pawsome Pet Sitting is the best! Ashley and each of her sitters is smart, kind, and really great with our beloved, quirky, doggie family members. We always hate to be away from our fur family but we always know they will be well cared for and safe. One of my favorite memories about leaving our first dog with Ashley: Emma would run up the walk to Ashley's house, so happy and excited to see her, reminding me of my 3 year old going to preschool and NOT caring that I was leaving him. Thanks Ashley! Christine and David
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.
Tail Wagger is excellent for pet care! My husband and I have had Lanette coming to check in on our kitty while we're away for 6 years now. Lanette is so great. She obviously loves animals, takes great care of our cat, and is so professional. I love that she always takes photos of our kitty when she does a visit. It's so great to get to see him doing well when we're away from him. Lanette gets to know his personality and habits so she can best care for him. And, on top of the pet care, she'll even check mail, water plants, turn lights on/off, and in general take care of house needs while we're away. We've been so happy with Tail Wagger Pet Care! Would definitely recommend!
Tail Wagger has worked out great for me. It's really convenient to just be able to text or email them when I need someone to watch my cat. They are super flexible and reliable. Love getting pics of my cat every time they visit him.
Love this pet care facility. Amazing people and well taken care of the property. Can't wait to bring my dog back.
I wish it was more friendly
I used to be a loyal customer and highly recommended them, but I unfortunately can no longer support them after having a deeper understanding of their protocols. Before getting into the worst of it, I'd like to point out that they have astro turf which unsurprisingly causes dogs' feet to get irritated on hot days. In their report cards, they will simply say they noticed they were getting irritated and treated them, but probably won't tell you why unless you ask. I started as a client with my husky Freya. Unfortunately she died in their care due to unknown causes. Their story was she was outside and started having irregular breathing, so they took her inside where she collapsed and died. She was 9 and had glaucoma, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt even though she was otherwise a healthy dog who had no problems going on 3-5mile runs with me when the weather wasn't too hot. Looking back, maybe I should have been more skeptical. When I got another husky mix, Loki, I started boarding him there and he loved it. However after a little over a year of boarding him there with no major issues other than being an overly enthusiastic husky puppy, he developed a food aggression issue while in their care. Freya had some food aggression issues when I first got her and I have taken care of multiple dogs with the problem before, so I am very well educated on prevention and training for it. When I asked about their feeding protocols, they stated that they simply drop the food in front of the dog, leave the room for an hour, and then come back in to take it away to get pressure washed whether there is food left or not. When Loki first demonstrated food aggression, their response was to attempt to remove the bowl with their foot or a fake prosthetic hand. This is textbook what not to do and will absolutely CAUSE AND INTESIFY food aggression. When I pointed this out and suggested that they should implement standard sit/stay feeding protocol, use redirection techniques, or to not try to take the food bowl away while the dog is still in the room, their response was essentially that they don't have time to do that and don't want to train their staff in standard dog handling practices. They even commented that past customers have suggested the same thing. This tells me that they are entirely aware that their protocols can cause food aggression and that they refuse to do anything about it. Apart from this incident, Loki seemed to love all the workers I saw him interact with. They all looked on the younger side, but they were extremely friendly and positive. I just wish the owners cared enough to train them better.
From my work account 3 years ago: I have a Husky mix who’s a handful, mindful but energetic. The staff have always been patient and loving towards Luna. I feel blessed to live close enough to use Local Bark. Last year I traveled almost 70% of the time for work. If it wasn’t for them I’m not sure how I would’ve gotten by… EDIT: I have since moved to Midtown Sacramento so I no longer go there but or Pomeranian gets groomed at their Power Inn location "Response from the owner 2 years ago Oh Luna! 🤗 She keeps us on our toes and we love that crazy girl so much! Thank you for the great review Walter and thank you for sharing your girl with us!" I am closing out reviews mistakenly completed in my work account
Amazing staff. Reasonable prices. All types of services from Daycare and Boarding, to Grooming, to Day Training, Boarding School, and Puppy Prep School. THEY EVEN HAVE A WALK-IN POOL MADE SPECIAL FOR THE DOGS!! Large & Small Dogs are welcome, as well as PITBULL FRIENDLY!!! You can tell the staff LOVE dogs, and genuinely care about what they do. Very trustworthy, welcoming, and easy to leave your pets with. The girls at the front desk and attentive and polite, and make things like checking-in your dog, or providing any information needed about the business easy. I highly recommend The Local Bark for all your Dog Care, Boarding, Grooming, Training, and occasional swimming needs!
Our dog has a great time at Local Bark... always comes home happy and tired. It's awesome that they have a pool that he can enjoy, one of the reasons I picked Local Bark in the first place. The facilities appear to be very clean and the staff are always nice. Oh, and they post pictures every day on their facebook page... so it's fun to see what your dog has been up to. Definitely recommend!
We love the Local Bark! Our dog has been coming here since she was a puppy ( she is now 9! ). We don’t use it as often as we did in the past as their prices have gone up, but when we need care for her overnight this is our go to place. They have different sized “rooms” for the dogs to stay, all day play time out back and offer grooming services as well. Our dog is happy here!
There is nothing that excites our yellow lab, Austin, more than going to the Local Bark. I usually take Austin to the Local Bark, but the first time my husband took him he passed the turn to go in to the Local Bark. Immediately Austin started barking and vocalizing. We are sure he was saying, "Dad, you missed it! You missed it! Turn around! Turn around now!! Austin just graduated from their 18 day in house training. Ivyonnne is a great trainer and Austin has made great strides in his obedience and self control. The Local Bark is an absolutely wonderful place for dogs. Austin gives it five paws up.
My puppy is very energetic and needs to socialize more with doggy friends. This was his first day at his evaluation. It made my day when I saw his picture, he looks happy and looks like he's smiling. He was happy and very tired when I picked him up because he must have played a lot. I will definitely take him on a regular basis.
Ella, world's most awesome BorderCollie loves the Local Bark to play and stay. The staff are amazing, caring and professional. To the owners and staff...your the best!
Editing my review after picking up my dog.I'm so happy I found a good boarding facility! The local bark is definitely a five-star place. My big mush of a pitbull really enjoyed her 13 night stay here over Christmas!I love the pictures I got to see on Facebook of her enjoying herself. I picked her up and she was so happy and clean, they gave her a bath for me. She's practically dancing in the waiting room while we were leaving. I like that the local bark has the most rigorous vaccine requirements in the areabecause my dog came home very healthy so I appreciate it! Also not much more expensive than any place around it's affordable in my opinion and they provide trusting and safe care for your dogs. Highly recommended I will definitely use again!
Chloe has been going to the Local Bark since she was 16 weeks old. She loves all the attention she gets from the staff and has a blast with the other dogs during Play Care and Overnight visits. Love them.
My wife and I were impressed with their pet training expertise and professionalism, especially when our dogs became a bit of a handful! They were also willing to take care of our dogs and cats for only one day, which not all pet sitting services will do. The write-ups they left were thorough and helpful, and we'd definitely recommend them.
Takes excellent care of my dog, and cat. They write daily interactions with both pets. Both my dog and cat were very happy, and did not seem to have stressed-out in my absence. Very pleased with each time that I have utilized their service. I would not hesitate to recommend them, or use them again!!!
Our experience with Pawsitive Attention has been awesome! Jessica is our dog walker/dog lover/dog carer - and she has made my life SO much easier and our doggies love her. Getting some assistance with extra love and help for our doggies from Pawsitive Attention, is one of the best decisions my husband I have made recently. Since we have recently adopted a 3rd dog, which we are still trying to integrate with our other two dogs - things have been A LOT stressful lately trying to juggle them all seperately. Then...Jessica came a long! She is our dog whisperer and stress reliever! Our doggies look forward to her coming, they know when it is about time that she will get here and they soak up all of her love! I can come home and know that they have been walked, tired out, fed, and gone out to the bathroom. She, and Rachele, are incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and specifically our breeds of dogs (all terriers), and have helped us immensely with educating ourselves as dog owners and how we can better address our dogs needs. I have tons of questions for Jessica about our newest doggie everytime I see her and she always takes the time to talk to me about all my questions and even brings me research and information all the time on the things that we talk about or the questions that I have. i feel like Jessica is a God send. she is amazing. Our dogs love her. She treats our doggies with so much love, as if they were her own. She is so easy going and flexible (accommodating our last minute changes in schedule more than a couple of times). She is super reliable and I absolutely trust her 100% with our doggies ( and we are definitely picky about trusting people with our doggies). She has a lot of experience working with dogs and is very confident in her abilities; it's really gives us a lot of confidence too. It's also hard to explain the whole dynamic of separating our doggies while we are trying to integrate them, etc. - but she totally gets it, understands it, talks to us about it, supports and explores the process with us, and we will likely end up calling Rachele to assist us with integrating our dogs - due to her experience with these situations. Jessica treats our dogs like family, gives them them love attention as if they were her own dogs and we couldn't be happier.
Rachel provides the highest quality pet care around! She is professional, reliable and deeply concerned with the safety and care of pets. Highly recommend!!
The owner, Rachele, really knows animals and I trust her to care for my fur babies!
Fast, friendly service.
The groomer charges extra for everything outside of the bathing. 10.00 extra if you want your dog combed after shampooing, 25.00 for clipping nails and if you want any fur trimmed it's 10.00 per area. What normally costs me 65.00 from my regular groomer was up to 125.00 by the time I became disgusted and walked out. I was fortunate enough to let the older couple know why I was leaving and they Thanked me and left with their 2 dogs as well. This groomer definitely needs to get updated in this profession before continuing to advertise as a groomer.
We are so grateful to have found the team at Barkers's. Their scheduling and payment system is easy to use. They did a home visit to learn about our alarm, where pet supplies are stored, etc, so they could provide the best care. Most importantly they put such care into looking after the pets. I get a text after each visit with a little update. We love our fur baby and I trust Barkers Pet Care enough to have recommended them to a number of my friends.
I have known Kathy for years and she has a passion for animals. I recommend her often.
Highly recommend! They are amazing!
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Button's loves Marsha and everything about Bow Wow B&B!!
We have left our dogs while on vacation here 10 times over the last 3 years and they all have loved being there. The best part is they come home tired meaning they are loving it there and playing a lot!
This kennal is located in a private residence. The dogs stay in the persons home, garage and yard. Our dogs seemed to have liked it.
Best Place Ever!! :D Its like a close family for your dog(s)!
Good place to bring our doggie when we go on vacation... definitely recommend.
Pretty litty tbh. Dogs are all nice and fluff.
Unreliable
I absolutely love the people—every single one of them—who take care of my dog. More important is that my dog loves going there. Whenever I turn down Sierra Ponds my pup begins to shriek with delight. When we arrive I almost have to restrain him from wanting out of our car and head to the back when he goes inside. The staff truly are a delight to deal with and they treat him like a rock star. On the few times I have to travel out of town it gives me supreme confidence knowing that he is being loved and well taken care of. My dog has been fortunate to go there for well over a year now. I wish I had written this sooner to bless them because they have blessed me and my dog. I cannot imagine taking him anywhere else. He is part of the family there.
Such an idyllic place for dogs to have their own vacation. Spacious and clean. Friendly and professional staff who really care and put an abundance of time into each pup. My dog loves coming here!
I was flying out to work a horse show for 2 weeks and looked at many dog kennels to watch my 9 year old dog. Most would have cost me more money to have my dog in a cage for 2 weeks than I pay for my horse to be boarded for 3 months. On top of it all, my dog has separation anxiety from being a pound puppy. So, finding a place that didn't just have her in a cage all the time was a must. Not only was this place affordable, but they had the option for my dog to be taken out on nature walks. Since my dog is used to being loose at all the barns I work at, this was perfect for her. When I picked her up, she was happy in great shape and even groomed. She looked like she was a puppy again. I highly recommend Granite Bay Kennels and will be using them again if I'm unable to bring my dog with me to the shows.
I left a first time boarder at Granite Bay for 10 days. I was worried my 3 yo German Shorthaired Pointer would not do well and stress out and lose weight. I was pleasantly surprised he was happy and in great condition when I picked him up! In perfect weight, clean and content. I would recommend this Boarding Kennel 100% and the staff are wonderful.
Left my Cavalier here for 4 days, Picked him up that day He was sick the next day throwing up all day diarrhea all day took him to the vet. Cost me $1200 to find out he had gardia. I called and let them know and they did nothing
Granite Bay Kennels is the only place I will take my dogs!! My favorite part is that the dogs are able to play outside for most of the day instead of sitting inside. The workers have been there for years, so it's always great to see the same faces. I love this place and all the employees!
A beautiful place with beautiful dogs well kept. Very professional and friendly. We were very pleased. Besides rescuing a beautiful breed of dog, the Alaskan Malamute they also provide Kennel services. We will do business with them again in the future.
I bring my own dog and my mom's 2 miniature dachshunds here, wonderful place. They have an awesome bogo deal on nature walks and my dog is an Alaskan malamute and they give her amazing grooms before she comes home. Could never bring my girl anywhere else.
Wow ... What a beautiful site....I board my peke Duck at Granite Bay Kennel. He always comes home Happy.. Healthy ...and Perfectly Groomed. Thank you Granite Bay Kennel for your great Service.
I took my two pit bulls here to stay while we were on Vacation and the dogs we very well taken care of and they were so happy. Every time I bring them back they are so excited and they love it here
