Dog Sitting in Antes

Best place ever to kennel your pups and kitties. We've used Sandyland for 20-25 years. The owner Denise and lady that works there Charlotte, are all about the animals. They will give your fur babies their medication and anything else your pet needs. Charlotte literally saved our pup's life on one visit. She could tell something was off about him and rushed him to the vet. Turns out our boy was in a pancreatic crisis and if she hadn't been paying attention to him we would have lost him. I can't say enough good things about these folks. It's not a bright and shiny place, but animals don't care about bright and shiny.... they just want food, play, and love and that's what they get there!

They have been taking care of our dogs for as long as we can remember. Literally on two occasions saved our dogs lives. We adopt older dogs and never think twice about their safety when leaving them there. Recommend 100%.

Friendly, nice setup. Dogs are well taken care of.

Dropped off my dog over the weekend. Upon first impressions the premises seemed unkept and disorganized, the kennels are dark and have poor conditions for the dogs; cement floor and the building reeked of urine. I left my dog’s food for the owner to feed him but she didn’t use any of it and my dog came back skinnier, and also smelled of urine. Further, he physically starts to tremble whenever he gets near his kennel at home- I can’t imagine what she may have done to him to make him dread his kennel so much. Definitely do not recommend if you actually care about the well-being of your dog, this location should 100% be your last resort.

We love our dogs. They are family to us. We are very critical about who has the qualifications to take care of them and we found Denise meets those qualifications. When we go on trips, we are not worried about them because we know they are well taken care of.

We have used this service for literally years! They have been the nicest humans anyone could ask for. This time was for a new batch of animals that had never met them and our dogs absolutely LOVED them! We will continue to use them AND let everyone know about them! THANK YOU SANDYLAND KENNELS!

Been coming here for years. Denise and Charlotte have actually saved our Sparky's life on 2 occasions (special needs dog). Take care of our pets as if they were their own.

Owner is very accommodating. Kennel is nice and clean. The cages are very roomy. We feel very confident in leaving our pet with Sandyland.

Charlotte just does not seem to enjoy her job..more likely won't leave my baby again..the place smells has lots of flies..i was really ify about leaving my dog but I took a chance since it was literally last min..no camera to check on your pet..i got no pictures..just nothing to reassure me my baby was fine..i did choose to leave him cus I did like the kennel he was gonna b in..nice size kennel but the 2 days I left him I was concerned the whole time so I won't leave him again

We love this place. They take amazing care of my crazy dog..

This is just a case of false advertising. The website makes Christensen Dog Ranch sound like a top of the line facility where dogs will not only be well-housed, but receive lots of play time and recreation. In fact, there is just a barn with kennels (I can't be sure the state of the cages because we weren't permitted to see inside the barn so I’m not sure how other reviewers did) which appears to be kept dark, and the yard seems to be mostly unkempt. I was disappointed to learn that there is only someone there from 8-10, and again from 4-6. The rest of the time the dogs are kept in the barn. I can't be sure but I didn't see an AC unit on the building. When I tried to contact the ranch to make sure they had our dog's feeding instructions, I never received a response. The one employee I met was very sweet and reassuring, but the few times I called I was never able to get anyone on the phone. I also paid for a walk each day and there's no way of knowing if that happened. Just not a good experience, kind of a depressing place overall.

I would recommend this place 10 times over any other place. First for starters I dropped my dog off it was the spur of the moment thing and they were able to take me in. Jade, the young lady that helped us out I told her I wasn't very Techy so because she was telling me to do it online, she helped me through every step of the way very helpful. Also it was a very clean well maintained facility. I love the atmosphere my dog came home in great spirits. Again I say I would highly recommend it.

They took good care of my pooch for over a week while on vacation. Pups have a lot of space on the ranch to run around and enjoy indoor kennels at night. Our pup almost didn't want to leave when we picked her up. It was like a vacation for her, too! We will definitely be back.

We boarded our 3-year-old lab for the day while hitting the trails in Sequoia National Park. We sent our vaccine records in advance. Check-in was straightforward at 8 am, and several other dogs immediately greeted our pup. With ample communication, we successfully set up an off-schedule pick-up of our dog. Huge thank you to the staff for being so accommodating. Pick-up was painless. On arrival, our pup happily waiting for us in a smaller yard with the other dogs who were getting picked up. We paid in cash. Huge thanks to the staff for looking after our pup.

They are a family run business and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. Super convenient location and dogs get to be outside and have playtime in a nice grass area. The kennels are really really big with plenty of space for large dogs.

We took our 154lb great dane "puppy" here for 9 days. Not only was the owner super friendly, you can tell that he genuinely loves dogs! He even sent us pictures & a video of our big guy playing in their huge yard with other friendly dogs without us having to ask! Our guy was so tired from all of the playing, he slept a couple days when we brought him home XD. If you want your fur baby not just watched, but to be loved on as well, this is definitely the place! 10/10 recommend!

We've been taking our dogs to Hartley's Top Dog Kennels since we moved to the area over 5 years ago. Let me tell you, my dogs have never been treated better anywhere else -- Hartleys Top Dog Kennels are the best! Mr. and Mrs. Hartley make sure the dogs are comfortable, get out of the kennel to play in their big and shady fenced yard, and that they are treated like they were home away from home. If you have any special needs (giving medication, feeding the dogs separately,), they will be happy to accommodate your needs. Having been a dog owner for years, I've had to board my dogs on several occasions, and this is, by far, the best place to board your pups. I get a kick out of watching my dogs get excited when I turn down their street; they know they're going "to the spa." If you are headed up to Sequoia National Park, you won't be able to take your dogs anywhere beyond the parking lot. Call ahead and make a reservation with Hartleys, and leave your dog with them knowing that they're well cared for.

We board our dogs there, and we love it. The dogs get to run and play in the large fenced area, but have an air conditioned or heated barn with kennels for nighttime. At other kennels, our dogs came home stressed, from Hartley's they come home happy.

This place was very kind to me and my animals, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I plan on using them again to board my dogs during future vacations.

Great place to take you animals! The owners make sure your pets are taken out and get plenty of play time. They have great prices, love animals, and will take great care your furry friends!

Love this place! We left all 3 of our fur babies 2 - dogs and a cat. They of course were happy to see us, but they were well taken care of! My new home away from home for these three! Shirley was knowledgeable about their needs and the facility was great!

My first experience as well as my dog's first boarding. Even though my beloved dog turns out to jump fences, the staff are lovely and I recommend the facility without reserve. I visited several and this one is clean and calm.

This was the first time that we have ever boarded one of our animals and it was a great experience. What helped reassure us, was the fact that they are very strict on being up to date on all shots and flea/tick medications. They also are very strict with cleaning everything daily. This gives you the peace of mind that your dog will not come home sick. There is also a lot of room for the dogs to play and interact. We will definitely be using Best Friends Inn again.

Dependable and Trustworthy kennel that we have been using for the last 5 years. We have two large dogs and Shirley and her team can handle them safely and competently. There's a large space for dogs to roam and even a doggy pool. Every 2 hours the dogs get to go outside. Shirley is very thorough with requiring vaccination records and flea and tick control and my dogs always return home healthy. Thank you, Shirley and the team.

Shirley is THE BEST. I have been using her for 8 years now. What I love most is when we go to drop off our dogs, they are always excited to go, never afraid. They claw to get out of the car to see her.

Your best friends inn has been our go to for our fur baby Toby for the last almost year now. They are absolutely wonderful and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Our little guy stayed for about two month due to my husband and I relocating overseas and they took the best care of him and helped us tremendously with anything we needed for him until it was time for him to come with us. It is such a friendly, warm environment for you and your pet as soon as you pull up. Highly recommend.

Our dog loves it there. Very professional and safe. The fact that our dog gets excited, wags it tail and greets the people working there speaks volumes. Our dog is very social and is provided quite a bit of time playing with other dogs when she is there.

When I dropped off my dog, I did not believe that this establishment was too bad. I wasn’t welcomed back to see where my dog would be sleeping but Shirley appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy. Key word: appeared. My dog was there November 2017 for four nights. She sent pictures on a couple of days but I was never notified that things were a concern. However when I went to pick up my pet, I was told he did well except at night. She told me he barked too much at night and in her words “kept the whole kennel up” so she had to use a training collar on him. I inquired as to what that was. She told me it was a collar that made a high pitched noise every time he barked but in her words “he was too sensitive for that one” and began to bite at it. He was too sensitive for that one so she tried another one. The next type of collar she used was the shock method so she would manually control it by zapping him every time he barked. She said that one “worked much better.” I was stunned when she told me this. She did not call to ask permission nor did I sign anything prior giving my permission to use such a device. Somebody who works with animals all day and has made that her career should know that shocking our animals when we have entrusted them to her care is nothing more than animal abuse.

We found Shirley and her Best Friends Inn after relocating to Three Rivers. This is the best home away from home for any pet. Shirley and her Staff treat our little Dog (Child) Tootsie like one of their own. When we ask Tootsie if she wants to go and have a play day at the doggie motel she gets so excited and follows us around until we get into the truck to take her. Tootsie is a long hair Chihuahua that is a one woman dog, until she meet Shirley, now Tootsie has two Mamas. Best Friends Inn is more than just a boarding facilities, we are able to a vacation and not worry about the care our Tootsie is receiving. Not only do they have play time put also get to swim when the weather is right. When we pick up Tootsie she is just as happy as when we dropped her off, even after being gone two weeks. After we get home Tootsie has to rest awhile from all the fun she had but is always ready to go back and stay again. Thanks Shirley and Staff Steve & Shirley S.

A great place!! I take my cat all the time. Shirley is caring and on top of the needs of your best friend!
