Dog Sitters in Merced County

Did a wonderful job with my super anxious pup. It’s been a 3 person wrestling match to trim her nails and I finally gave up and called in the experts. I’m certain she will be confident enough in a few months to be able to trim her nails myself. They were so wonderfully patient with her!

We can only describe this experience as amazing, all their staff are kind and caring humans that made our Bruno feel like home. We got photos from our dog every day enjoying his playtime!! Best place to leave your dog while you’re out, 100% recommended. Thank you Four Paws Pet Hotel!!!!

We love bringing our dog Mercy here. The staff is very friendly and organized they take great care of our dog when we need it. The place is really clean and always has a great decorations for every holiday.Great place to leave your dog they will be happy and well taken care of.

Luv this place! everyone is so friendly. Our two fur babies home away from home. Thank you so much for all your great work

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! LOVE and Care are at the very heart of this wonderful place. My boys need constant upkeep because of the breed that they are, but they get welcomed by a loving staff and they hate leaving when it's time to come home. They got bandannas last time, a nice touch I might add. A home away from Home. Looking forward to the next visit

On trip from Arizona my Yorkie needed his face trimmed. Without being a regular customer they were able to get me in the next day. He was bathed and face, Fanny and paws pkg. He looked better than when his regular groomer does a full groom. Friendly groomers and clean, attractive place.

This was my first time ever leaving my dog anywhere in the 9 years I had had him , and although I was nervous, they made the process easy. They answered all my questions, and after all said and done, they took really good care of my duke.

Took my two fur babies here for the first time. Absolutely loved it!! They were incredibly patient with my two shy girls. Miracles were worked on their crazy Husky Malamute fur!! Highly recommend!!

My dog got kennel cough and talking to my sister, she also told me her dog had gotten it a while back too. It's been two weeks, she's just barely getting better. She was so skinny coming out of there but it could have been that my dog was stressed out. This was our first experience leaving our dogs at the kennels. The girls in the office were super nice.

Stephanie does a great job on my Olivia

Love this place! I started using them for doggie preschool for my newly adopted pup, and then began sending our 5 year old lab there for doggie daycare. I also use them for boarding! Susan and her staff are professional and put the needs of the dogs as their highest priority! My dogs both have separation anxiety, and even though they are scared to leave my sight, they flourish during boarding! I love how they provide updates and communicate with you about any concerns, if there is any. I feel great knowing the owners live across the street from the facility too, so they are aware of everything that goes on after-hours. Susan also runs a pet rescue: Pixie’s Dancing Paws and Pals, in which she has taken in dogs from varying circumstances and rescued them, and they are looking for their forever homes! If you are looking to adopt, look no further than this amazing rescue! If you are looking for a place with down to earth, communicative, and compassionate staff, look no further than K9’s On the Move!

My wife and I love it here. This is our 3rd time using them and it’s been the best experience for us and our dogs. I would highly recommend them. Till next time. Thank you K9 staff! Love Maverick and Charlie

We love taking our pup here for their doggy day care service. He always enjoys his time there and has had major behavioral improvement at home.

I was worried about boarding my dog for the first time and Susan took time to listen to my concerns and even offered to take Chip for a few hours ahead of time for an evaluation. He did great and stayed 4 full days. Susan and her staff took great care of him and were very understanding and gave me an update every time I called I received his report card with a picture of what he loves to do, be in a pool 😊 I now have a fun and safe place to take him when needed. I highly recommend this facility!!

I’ve been looking for a good boarding place for my dog for a really long time, and all the time i’ve always felt uncomfortable, scared, & worried to leave him because my dog never likes it…. now THIS place, is absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable the second I dropped him off and didn’t even think twice, they were so kind and reassuring that my dog will be okay and they’ll keep us updated if things happen. My dog never usually eats at other boarding places and always comes back skinny, not this time!! My dog ate all his food and came back looking so happy and healthy. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I really would. It’s so reassuring knowing the owners live right in front of the boarding building just to keep a safe eye. I 100% recommend this place and cannot wait to keep bring my dog here anytime I go on vacation. Thank you so much K9 on the move 🫶🏼🫶🏼 P.S this is how happy my dog looked after his boarding, he’s never looked this smiley and energetic at another place!!

My boys just got home from their weekend long stay at K9s on the move. And they seem to have loved it! The service is wonderful. My favorite thing is they allow the boys to stay together , just like at home.This is the longest we've been apart from them and we believe they were in good hands. On our way home from Vacation we drove by and seen them outside playing together, which gives us comfort! My frenchie did not want to leave. Thank you to the team for taking care of our boys! This is the 2nd time with you guys and won't be the last.

Dropped our dogs off while we traveled out of the country and I knew that they would be taken very good care of. Came back to better behaved dogs than we left them. Highly recommended!

While on our vacation our Yogi was safe and enjoyed himself here at K9 on the move. Worry free and enjoyed our time away.

I recently entrusted my Lobo to K9s on the Move and couldn't be happier. Susan greeted us warmly and professionally, showing exceptional knowledge of canine care. Her personalized approach ensured my dog felt comfortable and loved during his stay. I highly recommend K9s on the Move for anyone seeking a nurturing environment for their furry family members. They've earned my trust and gratitude, and I'll definitely return for future stays. P.S. They have fun days where your furry animals get to take pictures with special guests! Loved receiving his picture with Santa ❤️

I have a dog that go every day to doggie day care. Monday to Friday 7:30 I drop her off and she have so much fun with other dogs she get her exercise as well.Their dog Trainer was amazing with her.

The team at Nelson Kennels is amazing. They treat Lola as one of their own family members when she stays and bird dog training to boot! I know this because she is always excited when she goes back and has learned some amazing hunting and obedience. I would not trust anyone else more with my dog.

Great family run Gun Dog training facilities.

I have my dog groom there I have a german shepherd and michelle grooms my dog. But it's a nice place it's very clean. The grounds are clean and i've seen a couple of dogs and they've looked happy.

Deanna and Scott are lifelong animal lovers. They're dedicated, kind, and responsible - I can't think of anyone I would trust more with my dog. Thank you!

Where to begin i took my fur baby to be trained here but he was also a support for my wife we just lost our 2nd oldest grandson who we helped raise and i work out of town so my wife was alone all day and night during the week and i didn't like her there all by herself so when i chosen Nelson Kennels i made it very clear nothing can happen to him they reassured me he would be just fine to fast forward me and scott had a agreement he needed some work done to one of his truck's and i needed sparky to come home so we was going to batter the rest of his training 3 days before on a wensday i came to look at the truck as i was talking to Scott i asked him how do you keep the mice and rats away and he must be really careful with poison he replied we don't use poison we use Irish soap well that following Sunday i get a call from the vet saying my dog is in really bad condition he wad bleeding from his nose and mouth and out the other end i asked what happened the vet said looks like he got into rat poison and seen this before in other dogs my poor baby had been there all night and we were 4hrs away so we rushed our way there but only 20 minutes later we get the call he had passed away Nelson Kennels never called but one time and that was 5 minutes after the vet did to say he's gone now i sent them a letter from my atty i just wanted to cover my loss but more importantly we lost our fur baby he didn't even make it to his first bday now Nelson Kennels is saying i owe them money and basically I'm lucky they don't sue me i still tear up thinking about him and my wife still on certain nights crys herself to sleep i recently just asked them I'll give you the name and number to where we got sparky and just pay for a new support dog and of course no response so don't let them fool you when they say there dog lovers and care about you cause they don't they remind me of corporate America it's all about the bottom line feel free to ask me anything and i do have the report from UCLA on poor sparky. I'll have more of this story in the coming days

Deanna is awesome. She worked a miracle with our Pitbull mix puppy. He is doing much netter now.

Our dogs favorite place to go if we’re going to be out of town! They get so excited as they can smell where we are going!! Everyone here treats our dogs amazingly!!!

Great family run business. Our dogs are family and at Nelson's that means something.

Everything was great people are very friendly How do a couple concerns email them they got right back to me really quick

Very impressed with the way they handle my "handful" of two large breed dogs

Mecca is as great with humans as she is dogs! She has a welcoming and trusting demeanor and professionalism that lend to her skills of coordinating our changing plans while giving our pit bull the attention and love she deserves while we're away. Mecca's adaptability and skills at taking care of our dog in our home is appreciated and leaves us confident that our dog and home are safe in her hands. Mecca is awesome!

Personable, professional, trustworthy and loves your pets!! We have been using Mecca and her team for over a year and they have never let us down! They always followup after visits with photos and they are so sweet with our dogs. Highly recommended!

Mecca and her crew are absolutely wonderful! I received daily pictures and constant updates. We even had to coordinate an unexpected vet visit while we were gone and Mecca handled it beautifully - I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies for one moment.

Mecca has been taking care of my pups for over 3 years. My boys feel like they are home every time they see her. Whether we are at her house or ours I know they are safe and are in amazing hands! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to take care of their babies.

Mecca is hands down the most amazing pet sitter I have ever come in contact with. She is so helpful and makes sure you feel very comfortable while you're away. Whenever I leave town I know my fur babies are in the best care possible. Thank-you Mecca!!

Mecca has always loved animals. But she doesn't just do pet sitting! If you are going on a short or extended trip, she will spend time with your pets while you're away. She also does dog walking, as well.

Mecca is amazing! My dogs literally go straight to her house when they occasionally escape the yard. They LOVE her and so do I! HIGHLY recommend!

Mecca is the best and really cares for the animals that she sits and walks. I only use it for one service however I plan on using her for more.

Does a great job watching our dogs

Tried to charge $115 a night as if it were a Four Seasons Pet Resort.

Best place to bring your pup for an overnight stay. My dog loves it here and is always excited at drop off. The kennels are in an AC building.

I wish there were more stars to give Amanda and her wonderful pet boarding facility. Amanda is so sweet and genuinely cares about your pets. We have two 5 month old puppies and I was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Amanda answered all of my questions promptly when deciding where to leave our puppies and her prices were incredibly reasonable. We boarded our puppies for a week and when we arrived to drop them off, we were so impressed with how clean it was and how nice the area is that she has set up for dogs. I emailed her a few times to check on our puppies while we were gone. Not only did she reply in a short period of time, but she sent pictures of the puppies and a video of them playing. It made me so happy to see how happy and playful they were during their stay. 4 Paws Country Inn is a special place and perfect for your pets when you need a place for them to stay. We have a couple more trips planned this year and I will need to board our puppies again. I will be calling Amanda soon to reserve a spot for them. I want to make sure they can stay at the BEST place in the Central Valley, 4 Paws Country Inn.

Amanda is such a doll! Easy to schedule with and treats your pooches like family. Also extremely affordable compared to other boarding facilities. Highly recommend!

My pups loved this place. Both pups were happy when I picked them up. The location is excellent, the inn is well maintained and can see the owners' love for the pets and place. I plan to use them again! Photos coming soon!

Amanda, the owner is very friendly and caring person and the place is super clean. While i was abroad, she texted me several times, explaining how my dogs were doing and sent videos of my dogs playing at her facility. My dogs were happy , energetic and looked clean and smelled good when i picked them up. I highly recommend this place to people who really care about their pets.

Amanda is incredible and will love your fur baby as if they were her own! My dog absolutely loves staying there and gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Miss Amanda. Leia seriously has the time of her life while at 4 Paws! I wouldn't dream of leaving her anywhere else!

Wonderful open space for the dogs to run. It’s peaceful. The owner is a kind woman who is willing to work around your schedule. I will definitely trust my dogs to go here again.

I highly recommend!! I have dropped my dog off several times and the owner has always been very accommodating😊😊 Amazing atmosphere for your pup!! 🐶🐶 …

I am extremely impressed with 4 Paws Country Inn for numerous reasons! I had to travel recently and did not feel comfortable leaving my 3-legged cat home alone for the length of time that I would have to be away as well as the fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off practically every night, close to my front door by surrounding neighbors. I proceeded to make calls and compare prices. Not only was 4 Paws Country Inn more reasonably priced, willing to accommodate during this Covid-19 nightmare, but most importantly provided my precious cat with a super clean, caring, and safe environment!! I received so much more than a 4 night pet stay boarding!! I was given peace of mind which is priceless. I can go on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Amanda prior to bringing my cat Pumkinhead. She was so easy and pleasant to talk to. I had nervous “mommy” questions which Amanda answered with professional expertise and reassuring patience. There was absolutely no pressure and I felt like she had a genuine love for animals and took her profession very seriously. I appreciated her attention to detail and her verification of my animal’s vaccination status via her very professionally drafted contract. This assured me that she would be also safeguarding other pets as well as my own. The day I arrived to drop off my precious kitty, Amanda welcomed us warmly and assisted me with my heavy items. Her facility is indeed a beautiful country inn and the outside is well maintained and full of natural charm. The inside is equally immaculate and the aroma is nothing short of clean and fresh. I was amazed that the kennel full of dogs had no hint of animal waste at all!! The destination of my cat would be a lovely large enclosed ward with a spectacular window and ledge for viewing the spacious fenced in yard. I was so happy to see the cat tree and three story crate that would accommodate my cat’s high back litter box and room to spare. I had expressed to Amanda how my cat was very leery of children and usually would hide if they came near. It was an unfortunate result of a truly traumatic event that occurred involving a 4 year old girl who may have been autistic. Amanda proceeded to instruct her sons (Jase and Bryce) of my cats’ fear and and cautioned to move slowly when they are around her. I really appreciated her giving this “heads up” to her sons who routinely help her. I was able to leave my cat in her very capable hands... 😅 I also received wonderful pics of my precious and I almost cried! She was enjoying herself. And the icing on the cake so to speak was what I witnessed when I was reunited with my cat. I could not believe my eyes!! Amanda had given me my precious and her two sons were standing nearby. As I anxiously released her from the carrier she greeted me and meowed. I knew she was happy to see me. Then she went to rub against Bryce’s leg and he picked her up. She didn’t meow or anything. She didn’t turn to cling to him as if in fear, which she often does even to me when I pick her up. Instead she let him hold her and she was totally okay with it!! Then when Amanda told me that he had spent much time with her in the cat sanctuary and often spoke to her saying “it’s okay sweetheart” I knew he had helped her recover from her fear of children!! 😭😻😍💕 Amanda quickly told Bryce to let her down now so that she could be with me, and as he set her gingerly down onto her 3 paws he extended his hand and she turned back towards him and rubbed her cheek on his hand. That right there was a miracle!! I am grateful beyond words to Amanda and to her helper sons Bryce and Jase who stand with her, smiling with the face of little angels!! 😇

Good place to leave your dogs since there isn't good reliable facilities near me, dog have plenty of space to run in secured fenced runners, my dogs seemed to liked because when I picked them up, they went to her (the owner) like saying goodbye.

Sharon is amazing loves pets great at what she does

We recently left our dog for 3 days with Ann at Riverside Paradise. He had a wonderful time playing with all the other dogs. He is a senior dog, but he played until he couldn't play any more. Ann was even good about feeding our dog the special diet of homemade food & treats that he is a custom to. It was reassuring to receive all the pictures she sent us. We may even take him out frequently for play days. We highly recommend Ann at Riverside Pup Paradise.

Ann is an amazing caretaker for our furry family members! One of our dogs settles in quickly and is ready to play, play, play. Our other dog is a little bit shy and takes time to warm up. Ann is always kind and understanding to their individual personalities. We all appreciate the pictures she sends us, giving us peace of mind that our fur babies are having just as much fun as we are!

Ann is great with our little guy. She always updated the owners via a website photo sharing. I like how our dog is in a home setting when we are aaay

I called to inquire information about boarding and the lady who answered the phone was rude and sarcastic.

Since I've never provided dog boarding for this person, I'm not sure why there is a review...? Wonder what he is reviewing.
