Dog Sitters in Diablo

We are so glad to have found Namrata. Our dog stayed for 2 weeks. We got multiple pictures of her having a great time. Namrata was super communicative via text. She got daily walks and socialized with other dogs and humans. It was a huge relief to know that my doggie was living the good life while we were gone! I highly recommend happy pets and namrata!

We boarded our two year old rescue pup while we went to Vegas. The beginning was rough for our doggy because she was in a new environment and has anxiety. Namrata worked with her tirelessly, and after the first night, she was doing so much better. Namrata sent us updates, pictures and videos and set our minds at ease. This is the first time we’d used a boarding service and we will be returning whenever we need puppy care. Her rates are reasonable and the dogs have free access to the backyard as well as regular walks. We are very happy customers.

I’ve used Namrata three times now for all-day Doggy Day-Care and she has been wonderful with my fur baby! She’s sent me photos and updates, and the last time I pulled up to her home for drop-off, my pup was whining with excitement to enter!! Thank you Namrata, for all your love and care!

Namrata has taken care of Millie (my 3 year old doodle) for both dog day care and dog boarding. I have been dropping Millie off with her and her family since September 2023. Millie is always excited to see her when I drop her off. Namrata is very responsive and always provides picture updates. Her son and Millie have become best friends. I am so happy that I have found an amazing dog sitter for day care and dog boarding. This lets me go on my trips and into the office without worrying about her. I would definitely recommend Namrata for dog day care and boarding!

We have been very pleased with Happy Pets. She is very organized, and quick to answer by text for bookings, pick up time, etc. She will forward pictures to you during the time you are away from your dog if you request, and our small dog, Lola has always seen very well cared for. Lola can be temperamental, and whiny, and may not be the easiest dog to take care of, but Happy Pets has always done a great job of providing great care for Lola and understanding she is who she is.

Namrata did a great job boarding our 5.5 year old Jindo. She sent pictures and updates every day, making us feel comfortable being away from our pup. We would happily board our dog with Namrata again :)

Happy pets dog boarding is amazing!! They take the best care of my dog - lots of attention and walks and love. I can tell that my dog loves going there and it gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog is so well taken care of when I am out of town. Also , they are great at communicating- lots of pics and updates when I am away and scheduling the pet sitting has always been very easy. I feel lucky to have found them!

Namrata and her family took such great care of my dog Allie for one month. My initial plans for a dog sitter unexpectedly fell through, but on very short notice (just a few days) I was able to find Namrata who thankfully was able to take care of Allie for the whole month. I received photos and video and it was clear that Namrata, her family and her dog Albus were bonding with Allie and that she was very well taken care of. I’m thankful I was able to find Namrata and now feel confident that I have an excellent dog sitter for any travel in the future. I highly recommend her services.

Namrata is simply THE BEST!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would! My fur baby, Remy, has major separation anxiety. I was so worried about leaving him, as we've never left him with anyone! He's a 6 year old Frenchie and requires a lot of attention, exercise, and LOVE!! Thank you so much, Namrata!! Remy made new doggy friends, and was a happy boy during HIS 6 day vacation!! Daily fotos great communication! If you want the best care for your fur babies, look no further!! ❤️❤️❤️🐕👍🐈‍⬛

Namrata took great care of my pup during his stay there. She sent me pics everyday to keep me posted, and also hand fed my dog when he had low appetite. My dog came back home happily, indicating that he had a great time there! Thank you for your care!

Molly and her team are wonderful, reliable, and experienced. Not only did my pup have a great time, but I got daily updates with tons of pictures. The Doggie Llama team does boarding, training, and dog walking right. When your pet is left with them you can rest assured that your pet is receiving quality care tailored to their needs and comfort. Their science-based approach to training and care sets them apart from the industry standard and sets my mind at ease knowing that my pet is receiving the highest quality of care.

EDIT: We are coming up on our five year anniversary being with Doggy Lama! Wow time has flown. We do have two new walkers that tag team, Joe (who is our primary walker) and Vero (who provides backup), but all the previous statements in my review are still valid. Joe and Vero are always communicative, respectful, and Warren can't wait to go on adventures with him and his pack. You can tell how much they each love and appreciate their dogs. ---- Our boy Warren, a border collie mix, LOVES his time with Kristen & Michael's packs. They're some of the most exceptional and trustworthy dog walkers we've had. Warren will wait up by the window for Kristen or Michael to come every morning - tail waggin a million miles an hour and whimpering from excitement. It makes me happy to see Warren get to play out on the trails, learn new skills, and socialize with his pals every day. Finding a trustworthy and professional dog walker is not easy. But Molly runs a tight ship, and the team she leads at Doggy Lama shows just how much she cares for and loves animals. If you're looking for pet care that exceeds the standard - I'd highly recommend you reach out to Doggy Lama.

Vanessa is pure gold. She has been walking my sweet husky-pit mix Margaux since she was a year old and forged an incredible bond not only with my pup, but with our whole family. Vanessa comes with heart, soul & leash - in that order. Vanessa adores her canine charges and they feel it. She is also a gifted photographer and I look forward to her pix every time Margaux goes out with her. She has my complete trust and gratitude. Margaux agrees!

I have worked with many dog walkers, dog trainers, and pet care professionals in the past. Doggy Lama Pet Care is a business with a different set of principles. They put positive reinforcement and employee training before profits and scale. A dog's physical and emotional health will always be Doggy Lama Pet Care's top priority. I was fortunate to work with the owner Molly and her dedicated team of employees. Every member of the staff was an absolute professional. I found the team to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. I have two rescue dogs that have their own cute little complexities. I am incredibly confident that any member of Doggy Lama Pet Care's team could properly care for my dogs and exceed my own expectations. I would highly recommend them for both private dog walking and group dog walking services. The team is especially qualified even if you have rescue dogs with complicated or unknown backgrounds.

Doggy Lama is my vote for the best small business in the Bay Area. This is not hyperbole! They are reliable, transparent, informative, and caring. We feel so comfortable with them, and often lean on their guidance and advice for taking care of our dog Rory. Our walker Jeysi feels like a member of the family. Every weekday she reliably arrives at our home, Rory runs to greet her, and off they goes with a pack of 5-7 dogs on a beautiful East Bay trail. A few hours later Rory comes home happy and tired. And then Jeysi sends us a written summary along with beautiful photos and videos from the day. It seems like such a fun pack. We're so, so grateful for Jeysi. Attaching just one pic here. But I have about 8,000,000 others that are equally frame worthy!

I absolutely love Doggy Lama Pet Care!. My dog walker, Sophie, is the best!. Always let's me know when she is arriving and coming home with my 🐶, Grace. Sends pictures of her hiking adventures. 100% Great Review! …

Molly and her team at Doggy Lama are the best! Our dog Toby always returns from his off-leash walks with Jordan having had lots of fun with his pack buds and tuckered out. It’s been a huge relief to know Toby is getting the exercise and stimulation he needs, especially during the work week when we can’t provide that for him to this level. This team is also amazing at communication, from day-of logistics to general awareness of seasonal considerations on the trail.

My dog loves Doggy Lama! She cannot wait for them to pick her up and is always exhausted and happy when they bring her home. She has totally bonded with Vanessa and Merrigold. I appreciate their communication and professionalism. and the photos.

Everyone at Doggy Lama has been so good to my pup, Rosie, since I adopted her over a year ago. Rosie has arthritis so Dorothy takes her to the park to sniff about at her own pace or just lay in the sun. It's clear that she loves her time with Dorothy because she always comes home with a huge smile on her face! Kendrae is super communicative and responsive around scheduling, too. Highly recommended!!

Kasper and I we both LOVE Doggy Lama; obviously for different reasons - Kasper loves the walks, treats and keeping his brain working while practicing recall on every walk. I love it that the Doggy Lama team is super reliable and feels like extended family. After I broke my foot they were able to immediately schedule Kasper for walks every day so I was able to rest. Thank you Team!

My best friend, Rosie the labradoodle, is a high energy kind of girl, so I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Recently I found the doggie daycare at North Main Pet Lodge, which also does boarding. The good news is that Rosie loves her stays there, and I have complete confidence in the owners and staff, who are both friendly and professional. The lodge is not fancy but both the kennels and the play areas are clean and perfect for an active girl like Rosie. Highly recommended.

I have taken my two dogs to the pet lodge for several years now. The staff is wonderful and professional . I have the highest level of trust in them .

What I love most about the pet lodge is how thoughtful Chris, Colleen, and all of their friendly staff are to help create a comfortable stay for all types of doggy personalities. Highly recommend for both boarding and daycare services. Thank you North Main Pet Lodge!

This business used to be the best for your pet services, but since it's changed ownership, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We have a huskie, and before the change of ownership, our dog Dee loved loved loved this place, but since the change of ownership, the 1 time we took our dog, when we went to pick her up... she was crying and didn't even come up to us, and ran straight to our car 😞 this was heartbreaking for us. She was depressed for 3 days after we brought her home. Dee is usually a happy go lucky, fun loving dog, so this was disturbing for me. We miss the old owners....

I have been taking my dog Jasper to North Main Pet Lodge for 6 months and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their services. Chris and Colleen have a lot of experience working with pets and it is evident by the care and attention they give each of their customers. I especially like that there are supervised play times to ensure everyone plays safely. I trust the care of my pet for both daycare and overnight boarding with North Main Pet Lodge!

We love North Main Pet Lodge and have used it for our cat for the last 8 years. The cat facilities are large and the enrichment provided by staff keeps our cat happy. We know he is safe and well looked after which gives us peace of mind. This is all besides the fact that the owners and staff are responsive, friendly and caring :)

Really pleased with North Main Pet Lodge, especially the good care and personal attention they gave our dog during his stay. This is a family owned operation, and they really know what they are doing. Will definitely be back -- this is now our preferred dog sitter! I especially like the upgrade options they offer for overnight stays, including 1 on 1 time with the dog, group play, various walks, and evening treats. We signed up for a couple of those extras, and they noticed which ones were effective for our dog and which ones weren't as effective. They proactively adjusted the play time so that our dog could do what he likes best (which also saved us some money). We also know exactly what to sign up for next time. The kennels are a very good size (4 ft wide by 15 ft deep indoor/outdoor area separate with a wall and doggy door).

We have been kenneling our dogs here for quite a few years. They have always been happy and healthy when we've picked them up. Owners are very nice and personable. They even managed to make my horribly unfriendly toy poodle like them. She hates everyone! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend them. Of note, when one of our dogs passed away from lymphoma in March, they were nice enough to send a condonence card.

Love it! Well taken care of. Great experience. We’ve been using them for almost 4 years. We have a old rescue cat. She needs a lot of extra love. Comes back very happy and adjusted. Owners are very personable and respond quickly. Great prices for the area.

Our 9 year old German Shepherd was recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer and we were afraid to board her. We left her at North Main Pet Lodge for 5 nights and she did fantastic!!! Chris and Colleen make you feel so at ease! We love this place and so does our dog!

Pam has taken excellent care of our two kittens/cats over the past two years. Pam and her team are very personable and attentive, and they clearly love their visitors. The accomodations are clean and comfortable, well-lit, and the windows have great views of trees, bird feeders, and more. Pam sends regular updates and pictures, and is happy to answer any question. Our cats have always come home comfortable and relaxed; obviously well taken care of. We highly recommend Pam and Critter Pet Care for all boarding needs!

🐾 I highly recommend Critter Pet Care. My cat has special needs and they treated him like a 🤴. They knew I was anxious about leaving him and kept me updated daily and even sent pictures. The little 🐈 house has AC and is set up very nicely specifically for kitties.😻 The owner is easy to work with and very accommodating. They take care of 🐕 as well.

I am so happy I found Pam! I met her when I was moving and also going on a trip, meaning maximum cat-life interruption and I was super stressed about how it would all go. She was totally communicative and reassuring while I was away, sending pictures of obviously-happy cats. She has also helped with vet visits and advice. It is so great to work with someone who cares about your animals as much as you do (and knows so much more). My only reservation is about spreading the word so that she might be hard to book! But she deserves recognition for providing such an outstanding and important service.

We had been planning a trip of a lifetime - 7 weeks abroad - and one of the most important things was also one of the hardest things to do and that was to ensure our 1-year old sibling cats, Daisy & Spunky, would be in a secure and caring environment while we were away from home. We found there are many places that board cats in “2’Wx2D’x2H’” stainless steel kennels with 1 or possibly 2 hours of daily “out of the kennel” play time. Although they may be clean and secure, that type of a “confined” environment would have been difficult for our cats to endure even if just for a weekend (especially for Spunky who is very sociable and inquisitive); 7 weeks would have been grueling for them. They would probably be wondering, “what did we do to be abandoned like this?”. Thank goodness we found Pam & Critter Pet Care! The design of the cat house is wonderful and the size and multi-level layout of the kennels, some of which could also be expanded to double wide for bonded pairs like ours, allows cats to “hunker in” and feel secluded, or to peek out through their window for watching birds at the bird feeders outdoors. Cats also get to explore and commingle or just chill in the common areas, or they can trek/jump up to the many perches mounted high along the walls of the cat house. We missed our cats to pieces but really appreciated how Pam automatically kept us updated with photos and info about what they were doing throughout our 7-week trip. It gave us great peace of mind and our reunion confirmed how well they were cared for during their stay. We will not hesitate to leave our beloved Daisy and Spunky in Pam’s care the next time we plan a vacation or require boarding services. Thank you very much, Pam, for providing such an important service, a cozy and engaging boarding environment, and for truly caring about the well-being of our pets. . . you’re the best!

I cannot recommend Pam highly enough for anyone with a pet. I hated to leave my old dog, recovering from an illness, with anyone, but she had come recommended for her transparency. Pam went above and beyond making my dog comfortable and cared for when I had to leave town. When i found I couldn’t get home when I had hoped, she made it work to keep watching him even though his care needs were more than we expected. She let me know how he was doing every day, and was incredibly kind. Pam will always be my first choice for someone to care for my pet.

Critter Pet Care takes excellent care to set an environment that allows the cats to feel at home and loved and for cat parents to feel completely at ease for their care. Pam and her staff are absolutely intuitive in their care for pets. She's personally taught me so much about cat behavior and how to be a better cat companion as a newer pet parent. Thank you for always offering a wonderful home away from home for my cats!

Pam is very professional and knows how to handle both cats and dogs. I had left my two cats with her for a day. She has a very good set up where our cats could feel at home. The cages were set up in such a way that the cats could also look outside at the world or lie in a secluded spot if they wanted. There was even a bird feeder right outside the window, to keep the cats entertained. I definitely recommend her place if you want your cats taken care of while you are on vacation.

Pam is incredible! My rescue pup was isolated for many years and after only a few weeks at daycare, he was much more sociable and calm. He has separation anxiety and has a really hard time being alone, so Pam has been a godsend since I found her about a year ago. She takes really good care of my pup and updates me with pictures and status, which is nice while I'm at work. She is super flexible with drop off/pick up times and always responsive. It's amazing how she is able to socialize dogs with cats, dogs with each others, etc. Also, the backyard is amazing! Huge and lots of room for dogs to play. My pup can't wait to get out there and run around:) Highly recommend Critter Pet Care, Pam is truly a lifesaver.

Pam is a great person, she is extremely responsive, caring and knowledgeable. This place inspires trust! We lodged our dog and cat during one week and they both had a very good time under their care. Pam took me home with my pets the day we checked out because there were no Uber or Lyft drivers available. It was so sweet and kind of her! I would highly recommend this place for cats and dogs. Expect questions about your pet’s health, behavior and a meeting session for dogs.

Pam at Critter Pet Care has been doing a great job for myself and my furry family members. We like to call her Auntie Pam, and she is like a second mother to my young kitties. Along with all of the regular responsibilities of taking care of food, water and litter cleaning, Pam also plays regularly with them (has even bought them some really fun toys and treats), brushes them, and also sends me photos and regular updates when I'm away. She is also willing to water my outdoor patio plants and she brings in the mail. I can be easy in my mind knowing that all will be well at home when I have to be away. Booking and communication has always been easy. I really like using her online portal where I can book and confirm upcoming visits. Finally, when I have last minute changes to my schedule and need to add or cancel visits, she is always willing to accommodate. We are so lucky to have found her and truly appreciate her wonderful care and service!

This is a bit of an irrelevant review, as I've never used the services at Waiterock Kennels. I do, however, visit a friend who lives relatively in the neighborhood of the kennel, and every night I hear all sorts of dogs just howling. Barking non-stop. It makes me sad. Waiterock Kennels, HIRE ME! I'll be the nightshift dog calmer. :)

I have been in other places for boarding and day care, but non of them makes you feel they will care for your dog as much as you do. The staff is unbelievably friendly, they are knowledgeable on breed needs and dog medical conditions. The place itself is great, spot clean and ready for the puppies to play and have fun. I totally love this place

I bring my two small dogs to Waiterock for both dog care and when I travel. I feel at ease knowing that my dogs will be safe and well taken care of. It's obvious that my dogs are happy there-- the staff obviously like dogs-- it's more than just a job for them.

Wow, I am surprised to read a less than positive review. They have done a great job grooming Charlie Watts, my Lhasa Apso. He looks beautiful when I pick him up. I have taken him to 5 groomers and this is the best ever. Not only that, if I want him to have time to play in a group of other small dogs, he has the opportunity to do so before he is groomed. He loves that! Not to mention, I am content leaving Charlie for a night or extended stay as i know that staff take good care of him.

Went to have a look at this kennel and will never allow my dog to stay there after I saw the way the staff were speaking to another dog owner. The receptionist pointedly accused the dog (and the owner) of destructive behaviour. The dog owner looked genuinely shocked... and was rather disappointed. The biggest issue with this unkind receptionst was his failure to understand that the kennel is the source of the bad behaviour. If chewing is not typical behaviour for the dog, the kennel was actually the source of his negative behaviour. I wished I had said something at the time about his accusatory tone...you would have thought that the dog owner had broken something herself.

Waitrock is the best day care service in the eastbay, Candy and her staff are awesome! Our bernese has been going to play regularly since he was 6 months old and just loves it. The staff love pets and want them to feel loved and welcome, we are truly thankful to them for always being so accommodating and caring.

Rosie the Labradoodle loves kicking back at home and going to the park but when we are away, the good folks at Waiterock take loving care of her. She misses us but I know she's well cared for. A clean fun friendly home away from home for Rosie.

Hands down the best doggy daycare and boarding we have ever found. Our doggy gets excited as soon as we get close to Waiterock :) I feel so fortunate to have found this place, as it means we can go on vacation without worrying.

We pick up a happy dog every time. When we drop off our dog, Kai Junior never even looks back at us as they lead him prancing to the small dog kennels. Which bothers me lol but makes me very happy.

Max’s favorite staycation! This is the most well run and well kept kennel evidenced by how happy our Max is at the end of his stays at Waiterock. 🐾❤️🐾 …

I'm one of those nut jobs who treats their dog like their child. My dog is literally my everything. I'd be lost without him. 🐾🧸🐕💙🩵 I'd been advised for years now to take him to daycare but was too scared to because of horror stories I'd heard over the years and the costs. Also, because I'm a pet owner who projects their issues of anxiety onto their pet. Naturally, I "knew" Oscar would be anxious. I was wrong. I eventually caved due to some encouragement from a friend and a therapist and finally dropped my pooch off for the evaluation. He did well and I got a kick out of Erin (evaluator/manager) saying he had a "pep in his step." Oscar is in love with this place. He loves the socialization, the nap time, etc. I wish I could afford to bring my dog here everyday that I'm at work. I love that I can check up on him with the cameras except during nap time which forces me to deal with my codependency on him. 😆 They're very detail oriented. They try to label everything with your dog's name, they also put a harness on your dog if he/she is high risk medical, which is comforting to the pet owner, especially if they are neurotic like me. I have a video here of my dog... extremely excited going into Dogtopia. so far so good and when he comes home, he crashes and eats well because all the excess energy is burnt off. He's not doing the zoomies anymore! I highly recommend you take your dog to Dogtopia. I trust them with my dog!!! 🐩 🐶 ❤️

Chico likes it here, he is excited to come. I love all the safety and security procedures. I know my dog will be safe and looked after. Every single thing we request for Chico is remembered and adhered too. Chico stayed here 8 nights, which is the longest I ever left him alone. I would not leave Chico anyplace else. The staff are the best

I adore how welcoming and accommodating the staff at Dogtopia are with our beloved pup Odie. Being a rescue dog, he initially had reservations around strangers and other dogs, but since joining Dogtopia, his confidence has soared. It's heartwarming to see him unwind in the presence of familiar faces each visit, allowing him to truly relax. The ability to check in during the day and witness his playful interactions with both pals and staff is a joy. The flexible scheduling is a lifesaver, seamlessly fitting into my work routine. And those photos they send? They're the cherry on top! That country music-themed snapshot? Pure perfection. It's proudly displayed in our home, immortalizing Odie's spirit in a frame.

It’s pricey to board your dog but it’s the same everywhere else as well. Compared to other spots I like that the dogs get social times with humans and other dogs for most of the day. No other place in the area offers that. So for the price you pay I believe Dogtopia is the best bang for your buck.

A great facility and spot to drop off your pup for a day or an extended time “at camp.” The staff is great and often recognize me and my dog, Quinn. She is always so excited to go - I have taken her to other places without the same level of enthusiasm from her. The facility is clean and well taken care of. I’ve since moved out of Dublin to the city, but still bring her one day a week when I go to the office in the area. I’ve also driven all the way from SF to drop her off for boarding stays because I know she is happier here than anywhere else I’ve brought her.

The staff is so incredibly nice and very patient. I feel they take excellent care of Benny during his play days and night boardings and follow all our very specific (sorry!) feedings, medicine, and grooming instructions. I also love we can watch him on camera and we are given excellent feedback on behavior (which we asked for) as Benny is still learning his social manners. We think Dogtopia is so highly regarded in our socialization/play/care for Benny that we go out of our way to travel just to use their facilities despite there being daycare/boarding facilities closer to our home. We couldn't ask for a better place to take our Benny boy and are so happy with our experiences! Thank you Dogtopia staff!! Shout out to Amanda, Erin, and Michael!

My Buster is always happy to see his fur friends with a wagging tail when he enters Dogtopia Dublin.

I don't know where to start!! The friendliness of the staff is amazing. Everyone is SO SWEET and nice and so wonderful to my dog. The second you walk through the front door, you are part of the Dogtopia family! I rescued a dog that was not really socialized, so I wanted to bring her to Dogtopia. When I spoke to them, they said they wanted to wait until I had my dog a few months. There is a comfort level for the dog after they realize they have a forever home. I was not happy with that, however, on the 3rd month they reached out and I brought my dog there. The funny thing is, they were correct. My dog was not ready when I first got her. She is a different dog after going to Dogtopia weekly for the past few months. She loves going there! I watch her on the webcams (when I remember) and to see how great the people who are in the areas with the dogs are. It's such a relief because I don't worry at all about my dog when she's there. I highly recommend Dogtopia. I am so glad I found them!!!

Everyone here is fantastic! My pup has separation anxiety and they are so sweet with her. They celebrate her small triumphs as much as I do. I can't give them high enough marks or compliments for all they do. I tried 3 other places and settled here as they really seem to care about me and my pup. Best day care ever!

Enzo has been a happy member of the Dogtopia family for three years. The staff, having affectionately nick named him Enzo-Benzo, treats him like their own. Recently Enzo had surgery and was away for several weeks. Each week Erin, Michael or Robyn would call or e-mail to check on Enzo’s status and to send warm wishes for his recovery. It was heartwarming to know how much they cared. We so appreciate the entire staff at Dogtopia and all the services they provide!

Beware this facility has KENNEL COUGH. I understand it happens in kennels, but they refuse to take any responsibility for my dog (yorkie) being so sick. Farrington was the only place he had been to have caught this. I have called and spoke with Tonya, the manager or owner of the facility, her compassion was minimal considering i told her my concerns. My little dog was and is so sick over 2 weeks now. I thought he had pneumonia as he was whizzing so much but think goodness his lungs were clear to the tune of an $800 emergency vet bill. This is the first time I have had to "kennel" my dog and I assure you it will be the last. Now I know why their prices are so low. Furthermore, when I picked up my dog after his 4 days stay - he was full of urine. My dog ordinarily doesn't peed on himself. I have no idea what that was about. She gave me some lame excuse, but frankly I don't believe her. His bed was also being "washed". Too many red flags with this kennel. What in the heck is going on with our pets after we drop them off in their care...it's a mystery.

I've been taking my 2 dogs to them for years. They always deliver excellent customer service and my doggies always turn out so cute. I know my two are a handful, and Farrington's always rises to the occasion. Keep up the good work! Oh, I almost forgot. Love their doggie daycare!

We’ve taken our dog here a few times to stay while we went out of town and she seems to like it here. The ladies are nice and very accommodating making the experience simple. A couple things to note they are not open for weekend drop off and pick up and they charge an extra 5$ each day to feed twice a day.

Love this place! My dogs love staying there and they offer grooming after their stays. Only challenge is they don't take drop offs on Sat and Sunday so it's always a full weekend commitment even if you only need one night. Other than that, I would highly recommend it to any dog and cat lover🥰. …

This was my first time boarding my dog here. My dog came out wagging his tail so happy so it made me feel so good to see how happy he was. At home he seemed very calm I wonder if they gave him a little training as well? But overall he's been himself and I can see he sure missed us 😁. I will definitely use their services again. The staff is friendly and welcoming so that helps a lot too. Thank you so much for looking over my dog and taking good care of him.

We found Farrington Kennels via Google and saw that it had good reviews. There were more than a few negative reviews but we figured, we will form our own opinion and give them a try. We dropped off our dog on a Friday and had to leave town for a week. Check-in went fine, the staff at check in was nice and easy to talk to. When they brought our dog in, they just had me put a slip lead on my dog and hand him away. I thought I was going to be able to bring him to the place he was staying but did not. Ok that was fine. But when they were gone, behind one of the doors I heard dogs barking and you can hear a worker yell “shut up!”. Heard it but just let it go because I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes. Afterwards I left. We dropped him off on Friday, the weekend passed and Monday was New Year’s Day. On Tuesday we called to check up on our dog and they said that he was doing fine. He’s keeping to himself in the corner with his toy. We asked if he has eaten since being there, they placed us on hold to ask the weekend crew if our dog has been eating/drinking. When she came back on the line she said “Yes, he’s eating and he’s doing great!” That put our minds at ease and felt that he’s doing good in there, eating and he will be fine. We were able to enjoy the time away. On January 9th, I picked up our dog to bring him home. When he came out, he seemed so anxious. We thought it was because he had been in there for a little over a week but when I called his name he looked over to me and he was happy to see me. As I was walking him to our car, I noticed how small he looked and how anxious he was to get out of there. I took him home and when my wife seen him, she noticed how skinny he was as well. We called Farrington and spoke to “N”, (I wont disclose her name). She stated that when dogs come in it takes a couple days for them to settle in and get into routine. Ok, makes sense. But when I asked if our dog has been eating, she said “she personally didn’t physically see him eating or drinking but when she would replace the water bowl, there would be slobber so she figures he would be. Well, the weekend crew said he was eating, drinking and doing great. Well, from the look of our dog, that’s not what it looked liked. He was 107lbs when we dropped him off on the Dec 29th. When we picked him up on Jan 9th, we weighed him and he weighed 98lbs. A loss of 9lbs!!!! What the heck!!! My wife called Farrington and spoke to “N” then was transferred to manager “T”. She was very rude and stated they took care of our dog and it’s not their fault that our dog was shaking and anxious. She said his weight loss was normal but 9lbs is a lot to lose in that amount of time if our dog was so called doing great and eating. She also mentioned they had @ 120 dogs that week and they did the best they can. If you can’t give equal care for each pet then you shouldn’t have that many in your facility. We never got a call stating our dog was anxious and shaking. We were only told he was doing great, eating and well behaved. We put our trust in this place but unfortunately our dog did not receive the care we expected; More like neglected. Per “T”; this place is not a good place for your dog, take your business elsewhere. Well, we formed our own opinion and will not be taking our dog here for any future stays. Was really hoping for a great experience but we got the complete opposite.

The best place to leave your precious animals! Amazing staff!

My dog stays here when I travel. She absolutely loves going. The staff are friendly and really do love their fur clients. They have a groomer on staff a few days a week and they do a good job on my girl when I add the service to her stay with them.

When I picked up my maltipoo Maya after a 10-day stay, she smelled good and her blankets & toys are newly washed. The staff is also very friendly & attentive. I am glad I found this place as my Maya’s second home.

We boarded our hyper heeler Rosin while we went on vacation and had a great experience. We were able to enjoy time away and not have to worry! Shoutout to Tonya for the great customer service. We will definitely be back.

Canyonwyck staff is awesome and professional. You can rest assured you family pet will be cared for and loved!

We have done long-term boarding with Canyonwyck several times now. Definitely enough to get a good sense of what pet life is all about there. Let's start with the positives. The facility appears to have a lot of space and they have plenty of options for food, playtime, and extras. The baths we have gotten from them at the end of the stay always come out pretty good. That's about where the good ends, though. Our girl has always come back to us sick with a notable amount down on weight and has included diarrhea and vomiting. This has happened on occasions when we've used their food and brought our own. She has also come back with a lot of sores and calluses on her legs. I suspect it's from a lot of sitting on concrete, which she shouldn't be because we pay extra for the play times. They have plenty of extra beds to spare, so throw another one in there possibly? Whatever the case is, she' definitely not in a condition I would consider good when picked up. If this only happened once or twice, I'd ignore it, but it's been a consistent problem with all of our visits. Our bills have generally been large due to the time and extras we throw in. You'd expect them to take credit. Nope. Make sure you have your cash on hand. I get they're a small business and there are fees associated with that kind of thing, but sorry, that's just how modern commerce works. In general, most businesses give that option. Prices are of the premium type, which would be fine except I don't feel like you get premium care there. The cost doesn't match the service. When I brought up these issues with the managers, I got varying responses. Most of them came back to, "Well, it's always worked like this." In fact, I would say there was a general lack of empathy, willingness to hear (let alone accept) any critical feedback, and lack of responsibility. These aren't attributes you want from people who are tasked to take care of your fur babies. Fair enough, though. I gave it a good shot with Canyonwyck, which is obvious by the amount of times we've used them. I wont be going back. I don't like giving negative reviews, but in this case, I think it's deserved.

I trust the owners to take good care of my rottweillers. The dogs always seem happy and not stressed out at all after their stays @Canyonwyck.

they don't allow pickups or drop-offs on weekends. that means i have to drop my dog off on a Friday and pick him up on a Monday when I WANT to drop him off Sunday (leaving town way-early Monday) and pick him up Saturday. that's just weird. and $$$ adds up. they should do something about that. doggy seems ok with the care and they aren't usually booked to the max when i need coverage, so that's good. but this weekend thing--not at all ok. lookin' 'round for some place with normal hours (most kennels have weekend drop-offs & pick-ups in other places we've lived).

By far the best kennel in the area. The owner is an award winning trainer of the most long-living line of champion Rottweilers I have ever seen!

I have been very happy with their services, both long-term boarding and daycare.

Canyonwyck did an excellent job grooming / bathing my dog. The cost was very reasonable.

Take a walk and check out the Spring wildflowers! Very peaceful just up over the hillsides looking down on Freeway 580.

Doggies were well cared for and came home smelling nice for a change. Of course there always happy to see me....

They always take good care of my doggos.

Luckie Dog Kennels has been wonderful for us. We never hesitate to drop/board Ladybug. She is always happy to see Rick and the staff. Ladybug is not the perfect dog. She can get aggressive, but the staff know how to handle her and who her favorite playmates are. Rick and his team are real dog people and I wouldn't board her anywhere else. This confidence comes from Lady's happiness when we pick her up. Thank you.

You Luckie Dog is the best! My pup always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. There’s lots of space for the pups to run around, and special shout out to staff member Danny, who takes amazing care of them and always provides updates throughout the day. Highly recommend for any dog parent looking for a reliable and loving place for their fur baby!

We boarded our cat over Christmas holidays. Rick gave good advice on what to bring and had nice facilities for our kitty. She was calm when arrived and was happy to see us. I would definitely take her back if we needed to board her again.

Rick and staff take excellent care of Sasha. They’ve really helped her to socialize with the other dogs and I know she’s in good hands when we leave her in their care.

Our husky knows Rick and always enjoys a few days here . Has fun with the other dogs and is always excited to be dropped off here.

Very nice service. My puppy seems to love their care.

My Bodhi loves to visit Uncle Rick. New location is great.

Lisa was fabulous with my 3 kitties. Not only did she take care of their physical needs while I was overseas for 2+ weeks, she took care of their emotional needs as well. The daily communications helped to alleviate my anxiety at leaving them and the daily photos showed how comfortable they were with her. Will definitely be using her in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter.

Lisa was a very responsible and caring bird sitter. She played music and talked to each one when she came each day. She wrote up very detailed reports which made me feel relaxed to leave my flock in her care. My birds were calm and happy when I returned.

Lisa was wonderful at taking care of our two cats while we were away for a 2week+ trip abroad last year. It was clear from her initial meeting visit that she has a special touch with cats, as our one kitty who is usually wary of new folks was engaged and curious to greet her. During our trip, Lisa was very communicative and sent us whatsapp pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. When we returned, both cats were in good spirits (and the plants Lisa had taken care of for me were also doing well). Would highly recommend her expertise--thank you again, Lisa!

Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. She not only meets the needs of my 3 cats, but also my needs with daily pics and updates. I highly recommend her to pet sit while you're away. She puts our minds at ease so can have an even more relaxing vacation.

We have used Lisa's services several times over many years. Not only is she professional, reliable, responsible etc. ... it's also very clear that she really loves cats, and they love her. You'd have to be a "cat person" to notice this, and we did, immediately. She left us a daily commentary and it was extremely reassuring to know that our house and "loved ones" (with fur) were in good hands. Unreservedly recommended.

Lisa was our cat’s sitter for many many years. She is extremely dedicated, thoughtful and caring. She accommodated Amelia’s changing needs throughout her life. Although our sweet cat has passed on now, we highly recommend Lisa’s services, and once our current Covid situation is over we are planning to use her services again for our two new young cats.

We are always nervous to leave our sweet boys, but Lisa was thorough and caring. She updated us regularly to ease our worries. We definitely will work with her in the future.

Lisa is a great cat sitter - I feel 100% comfortable leaving my cat in her care. When my previous cat sitter moved suddenly, Lisa was able to watch my cat over Christmas with very short notice. We have used her exclusively since then and she is very accommodating and flexible. Our cat is older and set in her ways but she warmed up to Lisa and was sitting in her lap in no time - you can tell that she really knows and cares about animals. Lisa always sends pics and updates and is really great about clarifying any changes and letting us know if she notices anything that may be out of the ordinary.

So glad we found Lisa! Kind, patient, responsible, good communicator and perfect for our very shy cat. We always have peace of mind when we know she is caring for our cat. Really, she's the best!

Lisa has been my cat sitter since 2018. I totally trust her and my senior cat loves her! Lisa is careful to every detail. She sent photos to me when I was away and I could tell how cheerful my cat was with her. I realized my neighbors on the same street also get her services for both cats and dogs. Lisa is definitely a very trustable pet sitter!

I appreciate the care and love that the ladies give to our dog Acee. Our dog can be a handful as she is still a puppy and needs to burn off that energy while I am at work. Thank you for all you do.

Karen Oliver offers expert canine behavior consulting in your home. She helped me train my large German Shepherd puppy to have good manners (no mouthing or jumping up on people). On-site they offer obedience classes and doggie day care. My dog loves to go there and I am confident that he is in a safe environment. The owners are genuinely interested in providing terrific care for my dog.

Bring Rover Over has been a great benefit to our family. Our dog Luna gose there two days a week. She is safe, and very happy. She really seems to enjoy playing with her doggie friends.

I have a hard time with any dog boarding or training facility that smells of urine. Bring Rover Over is smelly to me and that's a big turn off. Its a large space, with kennel crates and a training area and all of it is stinky. Dogs will pee and mark- that's a given. Why not build a space that has a concrete floor and concrete 1/4 of the way up the wall, so it can be hosed down with water easily? Also, the concrete won't become saturated with urine over time. I know that approach is more expensive up front to build, but it will pay off in the long run. If my human nose is bothered by it, I think the poor dogs, with their keen sense of smell, must be absolutely overwhelmed with the smell. Probably very agitating to them. My introductory dog training class was OK. Good, patient instructor named Karen!

I can’t say enough about Bring Rover Over. They are so good to my pup, patient and friendly. My dog gets so excited when I drive up in the morning. They are wonderful!

This place is simply great. My very active catahoula dog, Zombii, loves it here. It would get a 5th star of they had a web cam, or tried to upload several pic daily to Facebook. I would also use them more if they were opened another hour or two later. Other than those two minor things, they are great. Very caring about all the dogs.

I take my 6 month old Siberian Husky to training here and so far everything they teach works. The service is wonderful as well they know what they're during and love to help whenever someone needs help!

Karen was amazing for helping with behavior modification in my fearful puppy. Thanks so much ❤️

Going there for 20 Years. 3rd Shepard and they all love(d) it there!

Great People. Great Service. The best option for your Dog, next to watching them yourself.
