As newcomers to zeewoi it was helpful to be able to invite and meet prospective sitters before our trip. Our top of the list pick was Sheila with her wonderful bio and many shining reviews. We were fortunate Sheila and her partner Dan were willing to come see our home and our two young cats three weeks before our trip. We connected instantly and agreed they would be a good fit to watch our kitties and home while we were gone. This was the first time we have left our kitties for more than one night, so we were a bit nervous. Sheila’s experience in making things comfortable for owners and animals put us at ease. Having she and Dan come to meet the cats beforehand was certainly an added bonus! Sheila kindly asked how often we would like photos and updates on the cats while on our trip. She provided the perfect amount of contact by text which allowed us a chance to offer up a few more tips on our cat’s habits during our travels. We could not be happier with Sheila and Dan’s care of our home and our kitties! What a great experience! Everything was spotless and cared for, our cats had new friends and so did we!

Love to travel and love cats!
It was great hosting Helen and Marc! They were very communicative and asked great questions. The place was super tidy when they left, and the cats seemed so well treated when I got back.

San Francisco area & international sitting.
Betsy was wonderful and we'd love to have her back to sit any time. She was responsive from the beginning, sent us a message when she arrived at our house, sent pics and cute updates on our kitties throughout the stay, and left our house looking great when we returned. Having her sit brought peace and ease while we were away.

Audrey was a great sitter for my dog Gunner while I was away! She sent me updates, got in all fine & followed all instructions I provided her, and I came back to a clean apartment. I'd definitely recommend and would ask Audrey to watch my dog again!

FOR ME, LIFE IS ABOUT FINDING THE BLESSINGS IN THE MOMENT!
We booked Pamela to care for our dog Gatsby here in Hawaii while we were in California moving our freshman son into the dorms at college. I had a lot on my mind and my heart during this time of big changes for our family, and Pamela alleviated a lot of those feelings by being so awesome as both a pet and home sitter. She communicated clearly and frequently leading up to, and during, the sit. We received lots of photos and messages about Gatsby that filled us with such joy while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and took him on lots of advenures. She took fantastic care of our car, which she used during her sit, as well as our home and yard. Everything was spotless upon our return. I recommend Pamela without hesitation - we are happy to have her as part or our Ohana (family). Mahalo, Pamela - I'm so happy our paths have crossed !

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

Flora looked after Molly perfectly. Mols was very chilled on my return & my flat lovely & clean & tidy with all my plats watered. I would highly recommend Flora as a pet / home carer & welcome back for future sits. Thank you Flora.

Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

It was a pleasure to work with Jonathan, as always. He took wonderful care of our cat, making sure the cat ate well and was pampered. The communication and transition with Jonathan were smooth, and he made us feel at ease about our cat and home while we were away.

honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella. We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another. We would be honored to have them sit again. On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift. zeewoi continues to be the best site ever. Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.

Fit N Furry is Lucy Loo’s home away from home. She loves her play days with friends and comes home all tuckered out. She also enjoys her sleepovers and we rest easy knowing she’s in the best of hands when we are away. Lucy Loo is a rescue from Mexico and gets very anxious around strangers. Her people friends at Fit N Furry treat her with such love and care. Can’t say enough good about the people and the place. They also have lots of fun events for the various holidays. We LOVE Fit N Furry.
It has been just about 3 weeks since we picked up our precious Lab Hope after her 18 day boarding/training course and her transformation has been amazing! This was a frightened timid and shaking dog that hid behind us when we arrived for her free consultation. We were assured that she would gain experience, confidence and skills while under their care. We journeyed of to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and received pictures and ongoing details of how her training was progressing. Today, the moment of truth came for us when we had visitors in our home, strangers to her. She laid down calmly, never barked, never got worked up, and when I put her on her leash to go for a walk, she sat calmly as she observed the strangers with not one ounce of negative fear or reaction. We went for our walk and she returned home just as calm as can be, all while my brothers dog barked uncontrollably at the strange voices. Marie has done a phenomenal job with Hope, and on her return visit, she was just as happy as can be returning to see Marie and her friends that she made at Fit & Furry. I have already referred several friends to Fit and Furry and I highly recommend their training courses. The transformation is so worth it! I was fortunate to be able to plan in advance and make payments prior to the training so that it was much easier to manage the cost of training, but I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you Marie and staff on behalf of Hope and our grateful family! You are one in a million!!! Hope thinks so too!! Here is a picture of Hope and her little friend Sasha who was also once shy and Hope helped her to come out of her shell. Just Amazing Hope!!!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fit ‘N’ Furry is. My dog loves going to daycare, the groomer is excellent as well as the training staff. I have boarded my dog multiple times at Fit ‘N’ Furry because they take such good care of my dog. The training staff are always available when I have questions and they are absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend taking your pet to Fit ‘N’ Furry for all their services!!
We recently got a puppy and had to start over with a vet, training, and day care/boarding once in a while. We heard about FNF through a friend and gave them a try when we went to Disneyland. Our 6 month old Aussie Doodle isn't trusting of everyone. He definitely felt comfortable with the people at FNF immediately. It made a huge difference for us. We didn't have to worry about him. We got to enjoy the trip. They sent us pictures of him and updates the whole trip. It really put our mind at ease. He was well cared for and we could tell he wasn't stressed out etc. We will be continuing to give our business to FNF, even though there are other places that are more convenient and closer to us. Worth the drive 100% *Picture attached is one of the pics they sent to us as an update.
My big, deaf-from-birth, formerly stray dog thrives at FitnFurry. He was traumatized on the street as a pup and has issues with people and dogs, but at Fit he gets individualized attention, solo play in special sessions, and great care! The staff are terrific and he loves going there to stay.
My sweet shy rescue girl, Olive, received what I can only imagine was the best care she could get. Marie was her personal trainer to help Olive feel more confident, use her dog brain to provide her with fulfillment and purpose and show off just how intelligent she is! When I saw Olive at the end of her training, she was SO happy and full of positive emotions! It was such a pleasure to see this bright side of my shy little girl. Thanks to FitnFurry and Marie, in particular, for being patient with her and providing her with this lifelong skill and cherished memory.
We adopted a Dachshund mix puppy. We boarded him at Fit 'N" Furry and the service and care he received was excellent. The facilities are clean while the staff is welcoming and professional. In addition to boarding him, we engaged their trainer, Marie, to work with him. She not only trained him, but she trained us. She was insightful as to what our puppy’s needs were, the breed characteristics, developmental stages, etc. Our dog is now a 1 year adolescent and she continues to provide us with evaluation, problem solving, and setting expectations and goals. Marie is an outstanding, thoughtful, experienced, and caring professional. We strongly recommend.
This place has been a great one-stop shop for daycare, grooming, and training for us. Marie especially was an amazing trainer for our puppy. She was consistantly patient and kind with our puppy, and also took time to train our family how to continue building the skills at home. She has the heart and the know-how to work with the pups, and was worth every dollar spent!
Our dog Luna had a great time at Fit N Furry. We had to board her for the first time while out of town and she had a blast playing with the other dogs! She was provided house kibble and treats and we felt like she was in good hands. We even got a picture sent to us during her stay. The staff is friendly and professional. We will be back for sure!
We cannot recommend Fit n Furry’s training program enough! Marie has been our savior in getting our pup to actually be a member of the family and not just a little monster all the time. We continue to bring our dog in for daycare and the staff is always super friendly and helpful and our dog loves to go! If your dog is a little monster like ours was, fit n furry is the place to go!
Our dogs love Planet Canine!! The owner and staff show incredible kindness and care towards all their canine companions! After trying a few kennels in the area, we are so glad our neighbors recommended this gem! It’s hard for us to leave my furry family members when we go out of town, but we know that they are well taken care of at Planet Canine and get plenty of time to socialize and run around.
Very responsive and kind staff. We used Planet Canine for 2 days while traveling and working in Bay Area. Our dog was comfortable and had good time.
Planet Canine is my dog’s home away from home . Sully was lonely and was experiencing separation anxiety . I interviewed numerous places and I feel fortunate we found Planet Canine . He attends daycare Monday through Friday . Steve, James and Jordan are amazing people . I have no doubt they love Sully and have become part of our family . Sully’s anxiety has decreased and he adjusted well .How do I know ? As soon as I turn into the driveway he is so excited . He can’t go inside fast enough . Thank you so much for helping us . You are our hero’s .
Allow me to begin by saying that I am extremely protective of my 3 1/2 year old Sheepadoodle, Elio. I don't have children, so my dogs become in a sense my "children". I think some of you can relate to that. I have been bringing him to Planet Canine since he was a young puppy 4-5 days every single week for daycare. I would not be such a dedicated and loyal customer of Planet Canine if I didn't trust the staff and facility implicitly. I pulled him out of a nearby competitor before coming to Planet Canine because of a mishap that occurred between Elio and another aggressive dog, so I wouldn't hesitate to do the same if Planet Canine weren't a top level business. Every member of the staff care deeply and genuinely about every dog they welcome to daycare and boarding. They don't accept just any dog, but put each through a behavioral analysis before accepting them. They even have an outdoor space, unique to doggie daycare facilities that are in the heart of a city (as opposed to in the country). So what if you have to make an appointment to tour the facility? That way they can plan around their daily routines for caring and overseeing the dogs. It gives me tremendous comfort to know that my dog is their top priority when under their supervision and responsibility. He can't wait to get out of the car every morning to run into Planet Canine which says everything I need to know about what goes on behind the scenes. And imagine how may day is lifted when I'm at work and I receive a video of Elio having the time of his life playing in the courtyard! I would not write this review if I didn't stand by every word I've written. Thank you Steve, Jordan, James, Ian, and the rest of the amazing staff at Planet Canine for loving Elio.
Great experience! Staff was so nice and easy to communicate with. My 2 dogs stayed for 10 days. They came home healthy, happy and tired.
I have left my dog in their care several times here during the past year! He always comes back fairly clean and on a relaxed mood. They separate bigger dogs from smaller ones, but also separate high energy dogs from more chill/ lower energy ones. They constantly will send video updates of my dog every 2-3 days overall I would recommend it!
Friendly staff. That’s their blessing. Update: They are very disorganized. You speak to one person & get an answer. And a day later you get a completely different answer from a different person. They were completely unaware of each time I dropped off my pups. They also leave your dogs unattended for extended periods of time. How do I know this? My pup, now 1 years old is apparently not allowed back to their facility because she dug up their turf. Really? The only times she ever does this is when she is left alone for more than a couple of hours. I have an older dog that wasn’t really a fan of staying there. Not sure what kind of care they truly provide behind closed doors. Btw, when we picked up our pup we were told everything was great until the next time we tried to book & were told no because the owners couldn’t allow her back to rip up their turf more… thank you.
Had to find a new kennel for the 4th of July holiday after my regular one closed unexpectedly, and chose Planet Canine based on reviews I read online. I am beyond satisfied with the facilities, the staff, and how much my pup enjoyed his stay. I liked that the application was detailed, the facility tour was thorough, and the staff experienced. Will definitely board my dogs here again.
Hands down the best doggie daycare in Marin County. The ONLY place my dog is excited about going to. She used to go to other doggie day care places in Marin County. She was always unhappy to go to them--we often had to bribe her with treats to even get out of the car--and incredibly happy when we came to pick her up. At Planet Canine, she is actually EXCITED to go there! It's the best feeling to know your pet is not only being taken care of, but LOVED. Highly, highly recommended.
Our dog absolutely loves it here, great people!
Always a great experience. The staff is amazing and the facility is clean. The safety of your dog is their main priority. My black lab starts to wag his tail the moment we turn the corner and pull in the parking lot of Alpha Dogs...All his best buddies are there waiting for him to play.
My elderly mother needs a pet boarder for the holiday. Alpha dog requested my mother to visit with her 15 year old dog once and then requested three more Visits. They kept her dog five hours each visit promising she was reserved for a holiday week stay. (12/23-27). On her fourth visit they canceled her holiday week reservation indicating her dog is barking in her cage. My mother spent a total of $200, when this pet observation could have been 4 hours NOT 20. On some level it appears like a scam and taking advantage of the elderly. .Be warned.
I had an amazing experience at Alpha Dog, and I want to express my gratitude to the exceptional dog trainers, especially Tiana and Sierra. My dog, Arlo, participated in both obedience training and the Service Dog program, and the results have been truly remarkable. Tiana's thoughtful and effective approach made a significant difference in Arlo's training. She took the time to understand his unique personality and needs, which were key factors in Arlo's successful training journey. The Service Dog program was particularly impressive. Tiana and Sierra provided comprehensive training that focused not only on obedience but also on the specific skills required for service work. Arlo is now well-prepared to assist my son in various situations, thanks to their expertise. Overall, I highly recommend Alpha Dog and Tiana for anyone looking to train their dog. The care and dedication she shows to both the dogs and their owners are truly commendable. Thank you, Tiana, for working with us!
I am a local resident who began bringing my 1.5 year old Standard Poodle, Majik, for daycare a few months ago. The daycare service was great, and everyone that I had spoken with was so informative and thorough, verifying our dog's vaccination/health status. Our main focus was gaining control of the smartest (of 4) standard poodles. While we did a few sessions with recommended training professionals, Alpha Dog had been so effective for daycare, we called to inquire about daycare and training that allowed us to have him to share our beds while they did the training. It has been an incredible experience! The training manager, Samantha McCabe, set up his weekly schedule was very helpful with setting up his weekly schedule, guided us through our outdoor and in-home concerns. His primary trainer, Tiana, and Sierra, handled Majik with such care, working with him out at Crissy Field and the Mill Valley Dop Run 2x a week. After only a few sessions, we noticed an enormous (quantum leap!) increase in his responsiveness. He now comes running even if distracted by other dogs (which are his favorite). She even worked with us at the beach to show us how to continue reinforcing the training! He comes, he stops and drops mid run, which might save his life in a threatening situation. AlphaDog, I am really grateful that we thought to come to you and let you lead the way on how we gain control. We are receiving so much value in the training…And in having a more exercised dog who is less unruly around other dogs… Thank you for all you do!
I have two pitbull puppies Ares and Bentley have come here! Aloha Dog is such a great place to bring them to. They staff took the time to meet them and assess them into the right play group and made the process super easy. Everyone is so nice there. I unfortunately live a little far but know if i need a safe place for them to go my girls will be taken care of really well.
Alpha Dog's Board-n-Train and my one on one sessions with Samantha have been life changing in addressing my Great Dane's leash reactivity. She has addressed the underlying root cause to build Henry's confidence gradually. This has transformed his behavior around other dogs while on leash making our walks fun again. I highly recommend AlphaDog!
We've been taking our pups to AlphaDog since moving to Marin in October 2018 and could not be happier with their daycare and boarding services. Whether we're leaving them for a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks, we know that everyone on the AlphaDog team will treat our dogs as their own. While I could certainly keep going with my own praise for AlphaDog, the most important feedback comes from the wagging tails as we pull into the parking lot - Lincoln, Millie, and George always know where we are and can't wait to get inside to see their friends!
An absolute gem when it comes to dog boarding. We are SF residents and for the amount of space they have and the value it is worth the quick drive. Our pup Leo has been going here for 3 years now. Staff is super communicative and everyone there really loves their furry customers
The people who work here are very kind, so it pains me to write this review. First, the communication is bad. I waited months for an assessment. Before getting the assessment scheduled, I sent all of my vet records. I explained that I had a dog with a birth defect, and that my vet and I had chosen to leave him intact as a result. AlphaDog told me to have the vet send them a letter and we could get both dogs scheduled for an assessment. Fast forward two months, it's assessment day. I bring the dogs in. They have their four-hour assessment. When I pick up, Veronica, the assistant manager, tells me that they cannot take an intact dog. What a waste of everyone's time. I wasn't going to write a negative review for bad communication. However, my dogs both got kennel cough during their assessment.
My dog is everything to me and I trust this place. Our Golden goes here for both training and lodging. During one of longer boardings he ended up having bloody stool (nerves!) and I got an email from our trainer & from the Alphadog owner, as well as multiple texts from Alphadog letting me know what is happening, what action they are taking... I felt well informed and in the loop at all times (and I was out of the country). They took him to the vet and did everything necessary to put me at ease. 5 stars for that. We also did our Service Dog training here and our pup really connected with Sierra (the trainer). I gave her quite a few challenges in terms of my expectations for the pup and she did a stellar job making sure he meets/exceeds the mark. 5 stars for training as well. Once I picked up my dog almost at 11 PM because I wanted to see him asap after a trip and to my surprise someone very friendly opened the door as he was doing his rounds and gave us the dog in an orderly manner. For me this place is not cheap but I feel a sense of security when my dog is here.
I took my dog here and wasn't notified he was injured I paid 250 to them and then another 200 to the vet. My poor boy is now in a cone and antibiotics. I would ask for my money back but I highly doubt they would.
The front desk is awesome. They’re super friendly and helpful. They are very thorough in making sure your fur babies get the care they need. I can’t tell much about how the other pups enjoy it but, I’m happy to say my pup is so excited to arrive she can barely hide her excitement. She runs to the employees and can’t wait to play with the other pups. Thank you for being there for my pups. My older pup is a little more reserved but that’s because he hates being away from us. I only wish they could send updates or pictures as to how the fur babies are doing.
Best. Place. Ever. Always bring my pup to Postmore Kennels to get her nails trimmed. They’re great! Super gentle, quick and efficient! A+ 🐕 🤗 🐾 …
My dog has the worst separation anxiety so finding him a place that makes him feel comfortable is important to me. I found that with Postmore Kennels, the staff if very friendly and personable. If you're looking for an affordable and local day care this is the place!
We took our rescue border collie for a grooming. His fur was so matted. Henry did an amazing job!!
I want to give a big shout out to Postmore Kennels a true Bed and Breakfast for our four legged family members. We have been using Postmore for over 15 years and there is no way we could take a vacation without them, the care and loving atmosphere puts us at ease while we are away. It's just like a vacation for them as well! Mark & Patty Wright
Excellent staff. We’ve been taking our puppy here for many months and she is always happy when we pick her up. Excellent grooming and playtime.
Lovely, patient and dog-loving staff. They’re great. My dogs love it. I do wish they had a bigger outdoor play space for the small dogs but, overall, I feel good about leaving our dogs here.
Are you serious? I just popped in and got my puppies toenails cut for just $5!!!! Their prices are great, super friendly staff and knowledgeable groomers. They're very good with my babies. Very gentle. A little hard to find, but boy am I glad I found them
A wonderful place for my pup to play! The staff is friendly, engaging, and truly cares about creating a safe and fun environment for the best possible doggy daycare experience.
So grateful for Park-a-Pup! We adopted our sweet, yet anxious, hound mix about nine months ago. They were so helpful in the rehabilitation of our girl. They were also amazing at helping ME feel comfortable letting her go. We worked really hard with helping our pup gain confidence and feel secure, and Park-a-Pup helped so much with this. Within no time, she was able to walk into the play area on her own. We have also had to board her overnight, and I felt extremely confident in her wellbeing. I love how they check in with updates and photos, and will always answer the phone to answer any questions. Super grateful for Park-a-Pup and all of their amazing dog loving employees. You have made adopting a pup so much better not only for Lily, but for us, her family, as well. Thank you! (Photo from her first visit taken and sent to me by P-a-P, and then another because I just love her so much.)
I left my dog, Rainbow, who has anxiety and very shy, from 8 AM to 5 PM for a trial day and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel at ease. They took such great care of her, ensuring she felt comfortable and secure throughout the day. They massaged me throughout the day with updates and cute photos. When I picked her up, she was relaxed and happy, which is a result of the wonderful care and attention she received from the staff. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with enriching activities that kept her engaged. I highly recommend Park-A- Pup in Novato to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate place for their furry friends. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of my girl! We will be bringing her back soon! ---
This doggy place is very well managed. My 19 month old Jack Russell has not had a lot of socialization with other dogs. Park a Pup makes sure their furry guests will play well together. Unfortunately my dog was overwhelmed by being with many other dogs and hung out in the corners of the play yard. The handlers wisely put her back in a nice large crate and called me to take her home. We will get her more play time with other dogs and take her back to Park a Pup when she is ready. C. Peck
My dog LOVES it there! The staff is do great w/ him and they also provide great service. I highly recommend taking your pet there for boarding or daycare. Same for grooming.
Our dog loves Park-a-pup in Novato. It is clean, well organized, and very safe. We use both the daycare and boarding services for our 60 lb German shepherd lab mix and he is always so excited to go there. The communication is great and baths and nail trims are free for every 10 days of care. Highly recommended!
Such a great facility - clean , reasonably priced, efficient . Finally found a great boarding place ! Staff is friendly and very capable. I don’t trust just anyone with my fur baby so glad to have a good safe place to board my pup. Appreciated you all T Park - a -Pup . Poppy say Thanks too !!
The Park a Pup system is pretty easy! If you want Day Care no reservation is needed. Overnight is call for a reservation!
All the staff are AMAZING and go out of their way to help. We have 2 large dogs and both my dad and I have health issues the staff comes out to the car and gets the dogs out for us. The dogs both love going there and its great socialization skills. They run a top notch business and I don’t hesitate to refer people….
Unfortunately, we received a call from Park-a-Pup that our sweet boy wasn't doing well. They rushed him to the emergency vet the moment they saw something was off. We were across the country but received prompt notifications and updates. Following our phone call with the vet, it was determined we would be losing our angel in a very close undetermined time. As we rushed home that day, I requested to pick up our dog kiwi from the facility after hours so that she could be with her brother, should he not make it through the night. Maxx, the general manager, offered to open the doors for us to grab her at almost 11 pm that night after traveling all day with numerous delays. We offered to pay for his time, but he refused. He was so kind. Park-a-pups' kindness and swift actions allowed our baby to receive quick care and be put in a stable status to spend his final moments with his family. I cried so much, and I can't thank them enough for their kindness and the final moments their care gave us with him. They wouldn't let us make a payment that night and urged us to simply focus on luigi. Following his service, we stopped by to make our final payment, and they removed the charges for luigis' stay (we didn't even ask). I don't think I've even been so lucky to have my dogs at a boarding facility that truly cares this much.
Pippin runs into the building to greet staff every time we return for boarding. For me, that's the ultimate positive review and what -- along with lovely service and great rates -- keeps me coming back, despite living pretty far away (SF)! Tip: Ask for a "report card" to receive a batch of photos of your pup occasionally during a long stay. It's such a sweet and reassuring service. FWIW: Pippin is a 3.5yo 25lb female corgi. She's stayed here maybe 15-20 times in the past few years.
The only place my dog likes being boarded at. He's typically shy and reserved and doesn't like strangers but when we walk into Tail Haven he runs up to the staff and gives them licks. I can't recommend them enough, they really seem to care for your furry friend. I board here with 100% confidence knowing that my dog is in the best hands.
A friend recommended TH to me for some last minute daycare while visiting the Bay. What a gem. I wish there was something on par with this in LA. Staff is so caring, warm, friendly, clearly love the dogs and offering a great gift to the community. The owner Matt and staff member Steven took loving care of my girl Remi. This is the place to entrust your four legged family members.
We've dropped our cattle dog Pete for day care & weekend boarding at Tail Haven and been very happy with the care he gets. I like that it's a very secure facility since I know he managed to sneak out when I boarded him at a dog walker's home a few years ago and I was so worried. Thanks, team Tail Haven! Update 11/22/18 - Pete the pup is also trimming down a little, which will make our vet happy! It's been such a blessing to be able to take him for a couple days of fairly indoor playtime during all the bad air days from the Camp Fire. We were all getting a bit of cabin fever at home. Update 6/2019 - Pete's gotten a lot more confident with the staff at Tail Haven petting him, and we got compliments from the vet on how much better he is about his annual exam there. So glad we have a great place for him to spend some days while we're at work or away.
I have a Great Pyrenees, who is a total love, but a lot of work. The staff at Tail Haven always treats him with such patience and love. Julia, Brian and the rest of the staff make me feel so at ease when I’m at work or traveling and he is in their care. I couldn’t recommend Tail Haven more!
The staff at The Tail Haven Hotel & Day Lounge are so helpful and kind. Both Lili and Mat offered such great customer care when I was looking for daycare for my dog. Lili took the time to get me set up in the system when I called and had a daycare request to make with short notice for the next day. Mat was also very helpful in sharing about my dog's time during the in-take/observation appointment. Thanks, Tail Haven!
Our dog loves it. He's small and defensive of his owners, but is at ease in this place. He plays with the other small dogs and is friendly with the workers. They say he is well behaved when there, just as he is at home. Plays all day and sleeps when tired, but you wouldn't know it when he's home.,. Passed out.
Our canelo bear had the best time . Love how they take photos of the dogs everyday to show families ❤️
***Update 3/27 *** Pictures are being uploaded again! :) _______________________________________ Wish the San Rafeal site uploaded pictures again... We where told we'd have pics during the holidays, but we didn't receive any. But other than that, this place is amazing, my pup is always so happy! Not like WAG Hotels where he looked so sad and super ready to dash out of there! The tail Haven is a great place with great staff for your pup! This is definitely our permanent boarding place :)
I have no doubt that my dog was well-cared for on his recent stay but I was distressed that when I picked him up he stank of dog urine so badly that I needed to take him immediately for a $17 bath. My dog is 7 and has boarded since he was a pup. There was only one other time that I had this experience in Baltimore and was told that other dogs were peeing on him. I hope this wasn't the case here but I don't have another explanation.
I just can't say enough good about this place. My dogs were well taken care of but just as important my worry wort partner was so afraid that one of our three Keeshounds was not doing well that he actually booked a flight from Montana so he could check on her. Nuts right? Well the staff here stepped up to the plate and made sure that we got a few extra pics of Rosie smiling and having fun and allowed him to relax and trust the staff to do their jobs. No place is perfect but I trust The Tail Haven to care for and protect our dogs they were happy and healthy when we picked them up and that's good enough for us.
I was visiting from out of town and staying with a friend who had cats. We boarded our dog Rosie here overnight. Natalie was kind and gentle with our sweet doggie and obviously has lots of experience caring for animals. I would bring Rosie here again. 🙂 …
I have tried Country Inn 2 times and have been very impressed by the care and concern of the staff. They are very dependable. They offer their own food and keep the dogs apart, which was very important for me as my dog doesn't do well with other dogs. They let them out in the sun frequently, when the weather permits and dogs also have a little outside area they can walk to from their kennel that gives them access to the sun.
The staff was exceptional during the devastating wine country fires! They boarded and fed our Coonhound and would not accept any payment. Thank you for helping us!
Excellent care, always we leave our dog with them, is the best place I widely recommend it. Always we are really satisfied with the friendly environment and staff ,our dog maroto is properly care.
Natalie and her staff are on it and caring. Used them for our dogs for 20 years… trust and confidence as well caring.
Love love love. Besides loving the staff they are the only ones who can get my husky cleaned.
Great experience very profesional
So good with my dog teddy
My dog almost died after boarding at the Marin facility last week. I am afraid the SF and Marin locations are owned and operated by the same people. As a responsible pet owner and for the safely of all of our beloved dogs in SF Bay Area, this needs to be said. She contracted bacterial pneumonia at the facility per the radiologist’s report. When I picked her up I could feel all the bones down her back and her eye was so crusted shut I thought she had lost an eyeball. She hadn’t been eating for days and no one bothered to call me and alert me to this. I could have picked her up four days earlier but instead spent $8k on a weekend stay at the vet. This facility is completely negligent.
I was staying in the area for a week at a neaby RV park and I was able to take my dog, Luna, here on a couple of different days so that I could go into San Francisco to do some activities that weren't as dog friendly. They were very thorough in making sure Luna had her vaccinations and had a good temperament, which helped me feel comfortable leaving her there with other dogs who had gone through the same process. I was really happy that they got us set up so quickly given that we were only in town a short while. And on both of the days I took Luna in, she was all smiles when I picked her up and then out like a light once we got home to the RV, so I know she had a good time. Great little place!
Our dog, Waylon, LOVES The Grateful Dog in Greenbrae. He gets very excited as we drive toward it each day. We, his parents, love it too. All the people who work there seem to really love dogs and it is reasonably priced. They even send me pictures!
Very accommodating. We came in from out of town and needed our dogs in daycare for the day. We were able to get all of our paperwork processed/verified the night before with a quick meet and greet in the morning. Our leashes did come home smelling/saturated with urine which was odd but nothing a good wash vouldnt help with. The pups were exhauselted from a full day of playing and went to sleep right after we got back and finished our night routine.
Our pup absolutely loves this place. They handle the dogs brilliantly Since it’s mainly an indoor facility, the pups do come home bearing a bit of pee odor, but it’s nothing a quick wipe down with doggy wipes can’t fix. (We keep them in our car) The staff is super kind and always greets our pup by name
We had an amazing experience here! Every Labor Day weekend our family treks from Sacramento to Bodega Bay. We always beat the heat and have a great time surrounded by family and fun! the only bummer is, the house we rent doesn't allow our four legged friends. In the past, we have always hired a house sitter (an 80 year old gentleman) who hangs with our boxer and makes sure he gets his food. But he doesn't get his two walks a day, nor does he get to just be his high- energy self. This year, we decided to look in to boarding him and we are so glad we did!! He went in excited and came out zonked!! He slept the whole drive home and has been just relaxing the last 18 hours! Which is great since we came home to 113 degree heat! Nothing is better for a naturally hyper pup than socializing with other pups! He had a great vacation alongside of us! Thank you to the Grateful Dog!!! What a stellar team!!!
I have two dogs that we take to The Grateful Dog for overnight boarding. I feel confident that my dogs are well-cared for there. The staff are friendly, professional, and seem really invested in the dogs. I appreciate that the facility is clean, open, and well lit. And the price is reasonable -- especially with the multi-day packages and multi-dog discount.
My dog Bella loves the Grateful Dog! They have been awesome with accommodating my last minute reservations when I have to travel for work, or out of State. I highly recommend them for boarding in Marin!
I've been a long-time, six-ish year, Grateful Dog client. As a puppy, my little min-pin, Izzy "Squirrel Dust," started going to the SF location. She pretty much grew up there, and I am so thankful to everyone (humans and dogs alike) that became part of her "pack." A couple of years ago, I changed jobs, and because I could work from home, Izzy stayed home with me. While at a dog park last fall, Izzy was attacked by a much larger, aggressive dog and her stomach was ripped apart. It was a very, long road to recovery for Izzy, the trauma she underwent was not only physical, but her temperament changed drastically. It got to a point where I couldn't bring her around certain people or most dogs. I was at my wit's end and then saw that Ernie, the owner of The Grateful Dog, was opening up a 2nd location in Marin. I gave him a call, and he developed a plan with me to re-socialize Izzy to get her back to how she was pre-accident. It was incredibly remarkable. After a couple of weeks with Ernie and his team at the new location, Izzy became her old friendly and flirty self again. I can't thank The Grateful Dog enough. From the very beginning, they have gone beyond my expectations and have brought Izzy and me closer, in many ways, I feel like they brought my dog back to life. Their new location is clean, spacious, and well run. I wish I could give them a 10 Star rating.
I think the dogs enjoyed it. They didn't say much, but they were fully exhausted... Lots of running and sniffing and whatnot, I'm sure. Special shout out to the Tennessee Jed lyrics on the door... Very cool, especially if that was really Bob. The employee didn't know (which was odd).
Two Rock dog ranch is our go.to.place to board our Australian Cattle dog. He loves his time there and always comes home clean and happy.
One of the best dog boarding places we've ever used. The doggos are excited to get into the yard and sometimes it's hard to get them to leave. Very caring staff. We use them for vacation boarding as well as daycare. Easy drop-off and pickup. I always feel like they're as safe at Two Rock as they are at home.
Two Rock's dog daycare service is really top notch. Our lab leaps with joy when we tell him he's going to Two Rock! The dogs are well supervised and they can play as well as come and go inside and outside at will. The inside of the facility has large industrial fans for hot days, and heaters and a wood burning stove for cold days. Clean indoor lounge spaces with quilts make it just like home. You can ask them to bathe your dog during their visit, which is very convenient. There's grass and turf to play on, not dirt/mud or harsh gravel. The facility is very well maintained and ultra clean. There are many good things to say about Two Rock Dog Ranch, but the wonderful, friendly and caring staff are really the best feature. My dog runs to meet them at drop off, and that's the ultimate testimonial.
We took our mini-aussie dog to '2 Rock Dog Ranch' a couple weeks ago for an evaluation. They have impressive looking facilities. They only accept dogs with no behavioral issues. Her only behavioral issue is she sometimes has leash aggression when she sees other dogs. We have taken her to Dairy Dell for boarding and day care and she had no problems. We were told to leave our dog alone in the car while we were given a tour. Following the tour they immediately, with no familiarization period, took our dog away to see how she did. Five minutes later they came out and said our dog was sitting in a corner looking upset and not mixing with the other dogs. A few minutes later they brought her back out and said she was not going to work out and we need to take her somewhere to socialize (our entire reason for going there in the first place). So going from being left in a hot car (windows down) while owners disappear into a facility followed by being taken by the leash, with zero meet-and greet, and tossed into the slammer with a bunch of unfamiliar dogs is supposed to immediately result in a happy, playful, worry free dog in less than ten minutes? She is now going to another dog care facility in Petaluma and is doing just fine.
Our 13 yo collie has been going here for years. It’s a lovely facility with friendly, helpful staff. They listen carefully to the feeding/med instructions and give him a bath before he comes home. Well worth the cost!
Awesome place for dogs. Our Maggie has been going there for almost 10 years now and our younger pup, Taswell for 2 years. Day care and overnights, we know they will receive lots of attention, play, love and extraordinary quality care. Everyone working at 2Rock is friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and they genuinely care about your dog...and you. I know when I leave my pups for a couple of hours or several days, they are in a safe, clean, comfortable, reliable and loving care facility. I don't worry. Well done Sue and Richard Harris. Thank you Two Rock for decades of stress free vacations.
Two Rock is a great place for dogs! Running room, no indoor time outs, no ware housing. Love the staff and owner. Best dog care ever!
Love Two Rock Dog Ranch. We've gone to others that are closer to us but we've decided to drive the extra miles to take our boys there. They are friendly and you can tell they love our dogs. We also like that they keep them separated by age and size.
My dog drags me in here every time I drop him off. He loves it. And it is the first Daycare or Kennel he has liked. Plus the staff is honest about how he was during the stay. The report card and photos are nice, but nothing proves it was much as his reaction every time we pull in.
We have taken our dog here for many years. They are always very attentive and alert us immediately if anything appears abnormal. I recommend this to anyone who lives in the area and needs to board their dog. Well worth the 30-45 minute drive from Southern Marin!
