Pet Sitters in Contra Costa County

East Bay Dog Walkers is a fantastic company to work with. I have been a customer for the last 2 years and have appreciated the ongoing communication with the owner, Mona, and my dog's walker. Scheduling is consistent and easy, prices are good, and I have always felt comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. Highly recommend this company.

Mona and her team of walkers have been wonderful. I tried for two years to get my dog to walk on leash without pulling. After walking with professionals for a few months we we a huge difference in her. Her reactivity to other dogs while on leash has also improved.

I've been using East Bay Dog Walkers for years and have had nothing short of great experiences. All of the walkers have been very polite, professional, and great with my dog. I've been very happy with them and have been recommending them to everyone.

“East Bay Dog Walkers” is the best I’ve used for my two dogs. Mona, the owner, runs a tight ship. Her hiring practices are excellent. She does a great job matching the skills and experience of her dog walkers with the dogs of her clients.

Best in the business. Mona and group have created a special bond with my 7 yr old goldendoodle. Mona is super flexible with last minute plans and she’s been able to find us walkers last minute or even boarding option the one time were in a bind. Would recommend them to anyone who has a dog!

East bay dog walkers was truly instrumental in helping to raise and take care of our little Poodle, starting when she was just 12 weeks old. We could always rely on them to take good care of her and make sure that she was happy, healthy, and having fun. I truly recommend Mona and her crew without any hesitation.

Angel has been walking my dog Kona for over a year and does a fantastic job! She is always on time, my dog is very comfortable with her, and I am happy that I can have my dog walked during the day. East Bay Dog Walkers provides a wonderful service, scheduling on line is very easy and their prices are reasonable. I recommend Angel & EBDW to all pet lovers.

Mona was fantastic! When she first greeted my pups, they instantly loved her! She welcomed them with open arms, and treated the pups as if they are her own. Usually my pups have a lot of energy and I was surprised that she was able to keep up and make them tired after their walk. I highly recommend Mona if anyone is looking for someone who goes above and beyond.

Whenever I need a dog walk or sitting I know I can rely on East Bay Dog Walkers. My dog always comes back happy and tired. I am very grateful to Mona and the other team members who love Coco and take care of her like family.

Overall, I have had a great experience with East Bay Dog Walkers. The online scheduling tool is extremely easy to use and payments are made seamlessly. I have had to schedule last minute dog walks and they have been extremely responsive and accommodating.

Thank you so much to Mindy and her wonderful staff for taking care of my sweet dog while my husband and I were on a family trip. We were comforted knowing that she was in good hands that truly cared about her. I really appreciate how professional, sweet, and kind Mindy was throughout our e-mail communication. She provided updates on my dog and reassured me that she was doing well. She responded very quickly and also kindly answered all of my questions prior to boarding. She also sent pictures of my dog during playtime when I requested. I also appreciate how sweet Lauren was during drop off and pick up. My dog is very shy but I could tell that she was comfortable with Lauren. My dog was happy and playful when we came home from pick up. I am so happy that I have found a lovely family-owned pet hotel in the area and highly recommend them.

We honestly can't praise Wunderbar enough. We found this amazing pet hotel while looking for somewhere for our dog Susan to stay when we went into labor. We have no family nearby and she's a reactive dog who wouldn't do well with a dog-sitter in the house or with other dogs. Wunderbar was the best solution for us as we know that she gets a private room, private toilet breaks and private play time. We started out with short day camps and built up to overnights. She's stayed with the team while we've been away on trips and has done many day camps with them when we've had to have workers in the house doing improvements. She loves her tris to the hotel and is excited for every drop off. She's got an amazing connection with Lauren at the hotel and she can't wait to see her every time we drive up. The hoptel were even fantastic in helping us out when our AC went down during the recent heat wave. We knew she wouldn't cope well with a worker in our house and we were glad that they had a last minute room available where she had AC and could be comfortable. We get the best happy photos whenever she stays with them and she's always so excited for her stays. I've lost count of the number of times we've used their services and we couldn't be happier to have found this dog hotel. Amazing staff and great facility. This is Susan's happy place - truly her home away from home.

We've been bringing Banjo here for almost 10 years now and have always enjoyed how over the top happy he is when we drop him off at Wunderbar. We miss him more than he misses us I am sure. By the time we pick him up he is tired and happy and we're happy to have him back home. Love the treats they give us to take home with him and love how good they are with him. Thank you! 🐾💕

I can’t speak highly enough of Wunderbar’s! Mindy and her team are always kind, helpful, incredibly responsive, and reliable. My anxious Australian Cattle Dog gets excited when he sees the employees come outside for him at check-in, and is always in a good mood after coming home. Keeping the dogs separate is a huge relief (especially as a dog mom to a dog-reactive herding dog), and speaks to the concern for safety and well-being of the dogs implemented at Wunderbar’s. I confidently trust Wunderbar’s, and am so grateful to have a reliable and happy place for my dog to stay when he can’t travel with me!

Mindy is great and I haven’t even dropped off my dog yet. So responsive and gracious. Marley is gonna love his bath. I love to professionalism and kindness. Looking forward to adding more comments after the bath. Thanks

This place is truly incredible! I have a very energetic and intimidating Belgian Malinois in which the team of kind professionals handled her with the love and care that she deserves. I had a horrible horrible experience at Wag Hotels in Oakland and was scrambling to find an alternative as she can be a challenging breed to manage. Wunderbar didn't bat an eye and knew all the tricks to keep my girl tired and happy. They keep all dogs separate which is a huge stress relief. I trust them to play with her as often as they say they do, unlike Wag Hotels, who threw my 62lb dog in a small room for an extended period of time without walking her or playing with her (extremely cruel and I will never go back there). Mindy and team have a family approach and really make you feel welcomed and treat your fur baby with the utmost care. I will be a happy returning customer for years to come!

Our dogs love staying at Wunderbar and we can relax when we travel because we know they are safe and happy.

Weve been trialing a place for our dog to stay, building up to longer stays as were due to have a baby soon and will need somewhere for when we go to hospital. Wunderbar has been amazing, Susan loves going here and genuinely was happy to see staff on each visit. Last time we dropped her off she couldnt wait to go with her new friends. 😆 Unfortunately due to lockdown making it super difficult to socialise her too well and a nasty dogpark incident shes very wary of other dogs, luckily Wunderbar does offer private stay with 1-2-1 play times.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wunderbars Pet Hotel and the staff. Our dogs love it here, and the staff go above and beyond. For example, I realized that I had incorrectly measured out my dog's prescription pet food- so Mindy offered to go pick up more from our vet's office! Thank you so much, Mindy and staff. We know our dogs are in good, caring hands when they stay with you. We'll be back :)

Mindy and her team are amazing and caring! We regularly board our 2 hyper dogs here and they are always thrilled when we pull up to Wunderbar! Additionally, Wunderbar did a long term boarding for a family member was in the hospital. They took amazing care of her 90lb German Shepard, including a special diet and even sent pictures and updates on her pup while she was recovering. I can't say enough about how dedicated Wunderbar is to their clients. So glad we found them!

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!

Love Camp 4 paws. Their facility is amazing. The amount of space for the dogs to be dogs is incredible. The staff there is very caring and goes above and beyond for my sweet pooch. I would highly recommend Camp 4 paws 🐾 🐾 …

Maverick and our family love this place.They treat him so well! When he is on his way to camp he knows it and as soon as he sees we are close starts whining with excitement to see all of his friends … they also give grooming and happy hour which maverick seemed to love ! Thanks Camp Four Paws!

I've used Camp Four Paws for years and would highly recommend them for anyone's fur baby. The dogs are very well cared for and have lots of supervision. I've never heard the barking that is prevalent at other kennels and my dog always comes home calm, relaxed and happy.

In a word: Horrible! Horrible personnel, horrible process, horrible interactions. Do not use this kennel. If they treat the dogs that people risk leaving here as poorly as they treated me I feel so sad for those pets. Lost me as a customer and will lose any dog owner that I know or will ever speak to as a customer that’s for sure! Review edit after seeing owners response: You spelled my name incorrectly Kathy, angry owner of Camp Four Paws; it’s Berten! You think you’re so clever because I, and millions of other google users have a user name. You think I’m concerned about your “cringe” dislike of my user name, think again. I’m not hiding behind my google user name in any way; the many people I’ve spoken to face to face about my experience with you and your kennel know exactly who I am. I’m no more anonymous than you and your awful staff Kathy! Your response is exactly that which I experienced from your awful staff member; angry and rude. Thank you for proving my point so clearly. To anyone reading my review and this owners response you know exactly the kind of treatment I received when attempting to interact with the people at this dog kennel. I have a voice mail recording from Kathy promising me an evaluation date; they never accommodated me despite my payment for and attempts to schedule this “mandatory, nonrefundable” evaluation. I’m just very happy to have experienced you and your staffs attitude before I left my dogs with you. I’m also thankful that I avoided you and your kennel so cheaply. Good riddance.

Amazing facility! Have been bringing our dog here for years. Staff are great and seem to genuinely like the dogs in their care. We always give in and spoil our dog with their add-on services like treats and walks. They fill up early especially holiday weekends and summer. On the expensive side and is a good drive from town. However the service provided and the knowledge our fur baby is happy and well taken care of is well worth the cost. Will be regulars here for a long time. Thank you Camp Four Paws for being outstanding! 😁

My dog & I love Camp 4 Paws! There's lots of room for dogs to run & play & get the exercise they need. The people are great! They provide a caring, safe & fun place for the dogs. My dog always jumps right out of the car to go to Camp 4 Paws. That says it all.

Amazing place to take your dog. We take our high energy dog here and we could not be happier. He often comes home tired and happy. Troy and her team take amazing care of our dog (and are super nice to us). I can't recommend them more. One of the few places that actually earns 5 stars.

My dog Max has been going to Camp Four Paws for several years now, as did his predecessor, Yeti. I know of no other facility that provides so much stimulating play, all monitored by staff. The play areas are HUGE, with lots wading pools, play structures, toys and other delights. Dogs get individual attention and the staff is quick to notice problems. I know of a couple of instances where the staff noticed undiagnosed, life-threatening conditions. They are especially good with geriatric dogs, or dogs on medication. This is a well-run place, where dogs have a rollicking good time. They must pass a rigorous temperament testing procedure before they are allowed to stay, which means all the dogs are safer--it's a happy, playful pack. Smaller dogs have a separate play area, which is a good idea, too. The dogs get plenty of playtime, and plenty of rest in air-conditioned, very clean kennels. Since I found this wonderful facility, I don't worry about my dog for one second while I'm traveling. They have daycare, too, plus grooming services. I can't recommend Camp Four Paws highly enough--a truly great place!

We took our Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix, Maya, and her sister, Lola, a chihuahua/ Italian greyhound mix, here, many times. It was so fun for them. It is THE best place for your pets to have so much fun, my husband called it the Disneyland for Dogs!!!

I have been taking my 4 dogs to Camp Four Paws for both day camp and boarding for over 10 years. It is safe, fun and I am never worried about them. They are not kept in kennels and walked a few times a day - they get to be in supervised social open areas with many fun activities.

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!

Despite its name focused on canine care, Ann Marie house and pet-sat for our two large cats during the holidays. I've known Ann Marie for over 30 years and she is one of the kindest people I know. She loves all animals and I was confident she would treat our cats as she treats her own. Ann Marie sent us messages each day, texted us when she had questions, and left us a thorough update when we returned. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed she slept in while in our home. I highly recommend her for caring for our fur babies, and for watching our home when we are away!

Ann Marie takes care of our cats when we travel. Two of our cats are older (17 and 18 years) and one is younger (2 years). All are on medication and have special needs - the two older cats related to their aging and the younger one, a rescue, due to her challenging early life. The first time I met Ann Marie, I was impressed that she took detailed notes and asked relevant questions to make sure she understood what was needed. In terms of the cat care she provides, I would describe it as an intuitive, sensitive, and respectful approach to each cat as if they were her own. We do not worry in the least when Ann Marie takes care of our cats.

Ann Marie has taken care of my two cats on several occasions over the years while I have been on vacation. I always come home to well cared for cats and a house that is in order. It's apparent that she really cares for the animals that she looks after. My cats were rescued from a feral mother as kittens. So, they are slow to warm up to people, but they seem to be getting very comfortable with Ann Marie. I highly recommend her pet care services.

Ann Marie was a wonderful sitter for my cats when I had to go on a 9 day trip. I had not traveled in years and was anxious about leaving them alone for so many hours of the day for over a week. Ann Marie allayed my fears from the first intake visit, and turned my worry around; her demeanor was calm and reassuring, and with all her many years' experience I knew my cats would be in kind, safe hands. Upon my return my cats were calm, safe, well fed and happy, having shown no signs of being upset at my 9 day absence; this told me that Ann Marie in her once-a-day visits was very thorough and attentive in her care of my cats. She followed all my feeding and other instructions to the letter and contacted me a few times while I was away, to let me know all was well. Ann Marie's rates were reasonable, comparatively with other pet-sitters, and she was easy to contact and to communicate with. I highly recommend Caffrey's Canine Care.

Ann Marie is a kind and responsible pet caretaker, and treats your pets as if they were her own. She goes above and beyond, having been known to manage pet health, special needs and detailed instruction. She is personable, and my dogs are always excited to see her.

When I lived in Concord, Ann Marie Caffrey of Caffrey's Canine Care watched over my dog and my cat when I needed to be out of town. My dog, Missy, an old blind Shih Tzu, required special care while walking and feeding, and Ann Marie handled her needs with grace and a smile. At the time I also had a kitten, Elliott, who was both rambunctious and needy. Again, Ann Marie met all his needs and the two of them formed a close bond. I highly recommend Ann Marie for all pet babysitting needs. One can rest assured that one's pets are receiving the utmost of loving, attentive, professional care while in her hands. I live on the East Coast now and I wish I could clone Ann Marie for my current dog and cats. She's unbeatable!

If you're looking for a reliable, conscientious and trustworthy petsitter/dogwalker, Ann Marie fits the bill. Ann Marie's been caring for our dog, Charlie, since we first adopted her four years ago. Charlie came to us as an energetic puppy and Ann Marie was great with her, offering suggestions for walking and training. Charlie has mellowed a bit but tends to be rambunctious and stubborn by nature. Ann Marie is so good with her, making sure she gets a good walk and time to zoom around the yard and then spending time with her. Ann Marie is observant, not only leaving notes about their activities but also noting any of Charlie's behaviors that we should know about. Ann Marie cares for Charlie the way she would for her own pet. Our family rests easy knowing that Ann Marie is coming each day while we're at work to care for Charlie!

Ann Marie has been taking care of my beloved furry children for over 10 years. She is responsible, reliable, and completely trustworthy. And most importantly, she TRULY loves the animals that she cares for--she spends time with them and she knows their personalities and quirks. She leaves sweet and incredibly funny notes telling me what they did that day, which are so fun to come home to! Cannot recommend this amazing woman enough! She is SUCH a blessing to the fur babies and their owners. :)

I have known Ann Marie for over 20 years. I was working and just inherited a beautiful boy, Maximus “Maxie.” He was a wonderful dog, however, there were times when I had to work late or travel. It has been so long, so I do not recall how I came across Ann Marie. After meeting and discussing my needs for Maxie with Ann Marie, I decided to try her. It worked out great. Ann Marie has always been flexible to accommodate my schedule. Sadly, Maxie died in 2008, and I did not want another dog. However, if you are a dog person, you know that idea went by the wayside and I adopted Georgiana, “Gigi” in early 2009. Gigi was about 2 years old and high energy. I immediately called Ann Marie about meeting Gigi to see how the two interacted. Of course, Gigi loved Ann Marie. Now 13 years later, Gig has slowed down and her walks are much shorter distances, but Ann Marie gives her plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. What is heartwarming is after every visit, Ann Marie writes a long message about her activities for the time she spent with Gigi. Ann Marie will let me know if there were any “accidents,” whether or not Gigi ate the food I left her, have any physical difficulties, or doing simply fine. If there is something urgent with Gigi, Ann Marie will call me. As I noted earlier, I frequently traveled for work (pre-COVID) and Ann Marie would do overnight visits. Sometimes just one night or a week. Ann Marie is respectful of my house, has gotten to know my neighbors, and will water my plants, pick up my mail, etc., will I am traveling. All this said I give Ann Marie 5 out of five stars for taking care of Maxie and Gigi. I trust her with my little girl and my home and highly recommend her as a pet sitter. If you have any questions or want to talk to me, please contact Ann Maire.

Ann Marie is great with our dogs (2) and cats (2). It is great having someone you can trust your pets with and your home. Always cheerful, always ready to take care of the kids. :)

We love DWP as does our 11#’er rescue dog, Orion. We come in the door with him, and he’s off to see his buds! The staff are so kind and caring of their charges. We take Orion here for doggy daycare and overnight boarding. Thank you Team DWP!!

I LOVE this place! Most importantly my dog loves this place! I was so impressed with how I can tell that the owners love what they do and pay such close attention to all dogs under their care. You can tell that they really care and get to know each dog. As an owner of a pure bred cane corso, I really appreciate their ability to lead the dogs, read dog body language, and manage all the dogs. The biggest thing that impressed me about them was when I came back to pick up my Corso, she was walked up to me off leash and behind the gentleman. I've only seen her do that we me as she pulls everyone else like a lead sled dog. I really appreciate all of the attention and care that they give and they both are genuinely excited to see my dog when I drop her off. I've recommended her to everyone who is looking for doggie day care or boarding. Thanks for everything!

I’ve been taking my dog here for about 5 months now since moving to Concord and I have to say this is the best doggy day care I’ve ever taken him to. Despite having 40-60 days a day (on weekdays), Melissa and her colleagues remembered my dog’s name after just one visit! When I pick him up, they usually provide me with an update on who he’s played with and how he did that day. Also, Melissa helped me today with removing a tick off my dog, which I was grateful for! These people know their stuff! Love this place!

Such a wonderful place, I can’t say enough nice things about Dogs Will Play. The staff are so friendly and happy. The facilities are clean and plenty of space for dogs to play. We have an energetic GSP and he LOVES going to dogs will play. When we drop him off he is so excited and runs right back to see his friends, and never looks back to say goodbye. He always comes home happy and tired.

Best place for my giant puppy! She loves going here and she really loves the people that work here. She practically drags me across the parking lot to get into this place. She's a regular for daycare, and we have used the hotel service several times. She's always been a happy camper here.

This is hands down the best daycare/place to board my dog I have found. I've been taking my dog here for more than a year now. They really care about the animals and it shows. My dog is always happy and worn out when I pick him up. I love the stories I get about what he did and who he played with. When I had surgery they were super accommodating and helpful. When I couldn't physically take care of my dog, they gave me a place I could take him, where I knew he was safe and taken care of, and I am extremely greatful. If anyone from Dog Will Play reads this, thank you. 😊

Our doggie used to play here and sometimes we would also board him when we were out of town but he was rejected recently because the new gal said that he was aggressive. Maybe he thought you were the vet or maybe he just didn’t like the way you looked in a hoodie but whatever the reason he was a regular until recently. It was very inconvenient because we were going on vacation and we’re forced to look for an alternative at the last minute! Thanks a lot Dogs Will Play. There are plenty of better options for our little one.

Our fur baby has been going here since she was a puppy (she's 5 yrs old now) and she's still excited every time we drop her off. She's here at least 3x a week and she loves all the staff. We're so happy to have Dogs Will Play as her home away from home. Very highly recommended 👌 …

My dog has been going here for a year now and I feel blessed to have found this place! She and I have been through the changes since it changed owners and I can say I am as happy now as I was since I first brought her here. The staff is amazing...They are friendly, kind, caring and love my dog as much as I do. They truly feel like family to me and to my dog. I could never say enough kind words about all of them. Their grooming is amazing as well. My dog frequently gets her teeth brushed and she also loves getting baths here! Its so nice to pick your dog up, have her tired from a day of playing and clean from a bath!

My "big guy" loves it here. He meets up with his pals for his own vacation while we go on ours. :) Adrienne
