Pet Sitters in Paradise, CA

Gary and his family are great! My Bullmastiff Bear loves it there, and is always wiped out when I bring him home...a tired dog is a happy dog!

Gary was extremely accommodating of our last-minute request when our dog sitter fell through. He clearly cares about all the animals he watches, and he has a great setup at his house. Our two dogs enjoyed their time there and I felt better knowing they were being cared for by a professional!

Gary was so accommodating for our last minute needs for our dog Bali. He kept us updated with photos of how much fun she was having. We could relax and enjoy our trip because we felt our pup was being cared for as if she were home with us. Bali came home happy and exhausted from all the fun she had!

I don't board my dog often so I'm very picky about where he goes. At Paws and Claws, i felt like Rocco was staying with a friend. He has a huge yard to play in and a cozy place to spend the night.

Amazing! The best place to bring your dog for boarding. Very nice and professional owner who you can tell really cares about the animals.

Looks like we have the same person giving us three stars as well as some other pet services and not explaining nor have they used our services... Here is boost from one business owner from another

Wonderful compassionate people

There is only one service we use when we go out of town, and that’s Secret and her Fetch Pet Sitting. Secret has taken amazing care of our two big dogs and cat while we are out of town. We have used her overnight, and up to two weeks at a time. She is very responsible, and helps out not only with pet care, but is more than willing to collect your mail, water your plants etc. She is extremely trustworthy and texts us daily updates, along with pictures if we so desire. Our dogs and cat love Secret, we love Secret, and you will too!

Can't imagine allowing anyone to dog-sit our kids except Secret. Always professional, and on-time. Our dogs love her. Secret almost always sleeps over to care for our special needs cat. Living on 5 acres the dogs can be a handful. I have yet to have any problems with them, and it's very reassuring that Secret has a background in Veterinary Technology. Definitely our go-to pet person.

Secret has a way with animals. Our dog Jeter can be pretty rambunctious, and Secret will hold her palm out to him and he sits down immediately, tail going 100 mph in anticipation of his belly scratch. Secret is reliable and trustworthy. She has been dog sitting for us for years. I highly recommend her.

Secret is a dog whisperer! She was prompt, professional, congenial, and easy to be with. Lucy (our golden retriever) became friends right away. Secret stayed at our house and when we returned it looked as good as we left it. 5 stars from us! Thank you, Secret!

We have hired quite a few pet sitters in the past, and so far SECRET is the very best of them all. She’s very responsible She treated our Puddles and Zeus like her own babies so to speak. They loved her the very moment they met her. She stayed at our house and lovingly gave them TLC. She’s simply the best and I highly recommend her service.

My dogs love Secret. When I leave them with her I know they will be well taken care of and loved.

We decided to leave our 2 large dogs with Justin instead of having them kenneled for 5 days. We were anxious about leaving them since we had never left them for more than 1 night before. Justin was extremely flexible and easy to deal with. He made our dogs feel at home, took good care of them and consistently sent us texts and pics to let us know how our doggos were doing. IMO leaving them with Justin was far better than bringing them to a kennel. If we ever have a need for such a service in the future we will definitely be calling McDavitt Pet Care. Thanks Justin!

We are so happy that we have found Justin's Pet Care. Our Lab was not in a kennel, but allowed to be outside playing with the other dogs. I appreciated that fact that Justin would text us photos daily of our dog and answer any questions we might have. We were in constant contact. I would highly recommend Justin!

Just picked up my extremely high maintenance pup from 4 days with Justin. She is happy and tired and had a great time! Justin sent me pictures and updates throughout and accommodated a last minute medication change. Highly recommend!!

We are so happy we found Justin to watch our puppy. We only had Max for a couple months before we needed a sitter due to a pre-planned vacation. I was torn leaving him with a stranger but Justin sent me updates and pictures of Max while we were gone. That made me really happy to know Max was having a great time. Max will definitely see Justin again when we need a sitter!

Justin watched our two cats for five days and we couldn't be more impressed with his service. He is very kind and dependable sending us pictures and updates each day and the kitties seemed to love him! Highly recommend him to care for any critter out there!

Justin takes wonderful care of our dog. He always lets us know when he is feeding and walking her. We will not hesitate to use him in the future.

I needed a sitter for my two puppies last minute and Justin was so kind and accommodating. He took pics and kept in touch. Will definitely use again!

Nacho LOVES his time with Justin. I’m so thankful to have someone I trust with my fur child.

Justin provided excellent customer service and responded right away to my requests. Extremely professional, caring and also reasonably priced. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Justin is very reliable, patient, kind and flexible. Absolutely recommend him!

They are wonderful

The nicest most caring pet sitters in the known univese

They are committed, caring and dependable!

The Wacky Wags team is incredible. Always goes above and beyond to take care of our Dog and treats him like their very own. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Always friendly and professional! McLovin never seems to mind being dropped off there for boarding. He gets to play with his friends.

Wacky Wags treats our dog like he's their own. He's an anxious dog with a cautious temperament but he loves Wacky Wags and that says a lot for him. The owners and employees are always so pleasant, patient, understanding, and helpful. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. I was nervous about boarding my dog Bella because she's a pandemic puppy and has separation anxiety. The care and attention by the staff put those worries to rest. I was able to see how much fun she was having through their puppy cam. Shout out to Dalton for giving me updates on Bella while I was on my trip.The pricing is also very reasonable for the attention and care they provide. Don't hesitate to check it out.

Left my Bull Terrier Mix there for seven days while I traveled. I had acclimated him there by leaving him for day care. Once I pull into the driveway he's already looking forward to entering the facility. Having worked at a dog ranch for a number of years, I knew what my expectations were. Wacky Wags did not disappoint. Everything went smoothly with arranging overnight care. My companion was well cared for and was well rested. I would highly recommend Wacky Wags. If I need daycare or overnight care again for my companion, Wacky Wags will be my choice.

Love the facility and the staff!! I left my 3 babies (dogs) with them. This was the first time ever leaving my kids at a boarding facility. The staff is amazing. They give your pet one on one attention and actually get to know their personalities! They also put up with me and eased all of my worries! I know they are in great hands! Thank you everyone at Wacky Wags for being so Awesome!

This is the only place I trust with my pup. Every time we drop him off, he can't wait to go play with his other pupper friends. Thank you Wacky Wags for providing a safe, fun place for Toby to go to that allows me to not worry while I'm away!

They took great care of our girls!!!

I am one of those people who constantly worries about their pet. It is so nice that people who board their pets here have the ability to check on them with access to cameras. Odie always comes home tired after he stays here. The staff are super nice and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place for boarding and daycare.

Loooooove this place! I had recently adopted my dog when my husband and i has to leave for two days and were unable ti take Stella(my pup). She had been boarded here previously , so naturally it was my first thought. I called and set it up. What blew my mind is that when she and i walked in they knew exactly who she was! Down to knowing the pumpkin I add to her food! On our second visit , she was getting her nails trimmed. Something to know about my Stella is , all 7lbs of her is separation anxiety. So during her mini spa day , The owner held her ever so lovingly in his arms as he gentley trimmed her up. I can not speak highly enough of this place , and will continue to give them my business 💙💙💙💙💙

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! There is nothing like peace of mind when it comes to our pets and loved ones and that’s why Tylyn will always be my primary choice for my pet sitting needs. My dog Kiona is extremely affectionate and needy for attention and honestly I was a little worried she would be too much to handle but Tylyn is clearly a professional. Less than an hour after drop off I was worried so I sent a message to check in and Tylyn replied with a slew of photos and videos of Kiona living her best farm life. My mind was immediately put to ease seeing Kiona smile, play and cuddle with Tylyn’s daughter. The way Kiona was treated made me feel like she was with family while she was with Tylyn.

The absolute best pet sitter! My dog has the time of his life with Tylyn. She always sends the most adorable photos with photoshoots for the holidays. I highly, highly recommend her services! Tucker gives her four paws up.

They deserve more than 5 stars! My boy Hudson is a moody man who only seems to like certain people. HE LOVES them here & I always know he is getting beyond the best care! He is always so happy to go & I love getting the picture updates!

I cannot recommend Tylyn enough. She has pet sit my Rascal a few times now. She always calls it the hide and seek game and it is a fun challenge for her to find Rascal and share his location with me. This last time I was on vacation and my visiting daughter accidentally left the door open and Rascal escaped. Tylyn did all she could think of and visited my house several times throughout the days to try to rescue Rascal. She was great and communicated everything with me. Rascal did finally after 12 days get trapped and is back in the house and I am confident that it was due to Tylyn’s actions early on that helped Rascal to return. I definitely recommend Tylyn and Pawsome Pet Care and know that when I need a pet sitter Rascal will be in good hands.

Tylyn is the best. Our dog loves her and always has a great time.

Tylyn is a great care provider. Her passion and enthusiasm shines through with each pet she cares for. Anyone that uses her for care will be beyond happy with the care their pet receives.

Hired Tylyn to care for my senior car Missy and she provided excellent care. Tylyn was able to follow special care instructions and administered medication. Would definitely hire again!

My dogs and I love Sitter for Your Critters! They are always there when we need them to drop in or walk the dogs. I get pictures and a detailed update on how things went. The sitters we’ve had always follow the directions and the dogs love them. I feel comfortable being away when I know Sitter for Your Critters will be coming to play with the pups. These are some of the photos I’ve received ❤️🐾

Sitter For Your Critters is absolutely incredible!! Our community is beyond lucky to have them and I couldn't possibly recommend them enough. I'm a guy who cares extremely deeply about my cats, and cannot attain peace of mind unless they're in good hands while I'm gone. Johnathan is an amazing caretaker, and goes the extra mile and then some each and every time he watches them. I have literally never met another man I'd rather have watch over my cats. The owner Kelly is awesome, she's so sweet and passionate about her business. For years, I had trouble leaving home away from my cats. After I found S4YC, that anxiety is gone and I can rest easy knowing they're happy and in great hands. Thank you so much S4YC!

We have had an amazing experience with sitters for critters with both Kelly and Jonathan! Our animals were all well cared for, my house was kept clean and they provided amazing, thorough updates along with pictures! Very happy, highly recommended and can’t wait to use them again!

Sitter For Your Critters is such a great organization, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’ve been helping me with my dog for several years now, providing everything from walking & playing, to feeding & medication administration, to cuddling and petting. The Sitters are very well trained and highly competent; my dog works with them eagerly, comfortably and happily. Communication is very good - it’s quick and accurate, and they are very responsive. I feel one hundred percent safe and comfortable with the Sitters in my home and in charge of my dog. I trust Sitter For Your Critters implicitly and without any reservation. I feel so fortunate that they are located in my town. I don’t know what I would have done without them on many occasions and I’m grateful for their support.

We tell everyone we know about Sitter For Your Critters, they are the absolute BEST! We only trust them with our 4 kitties. Not only do they take the best care of our cats but the little things Katie does like empty trash, clean up kibble just make it so nice to come home to. We’ve used them for over 2 years and will book them everytime. Also Katie takes the best pics of them and we love the daily reports.

I've been using Sitters for Your Critters for almost a year now to help me care for my dog during long work days, and I would recommend them to anyone! They are reliable, respond to messages quickly, and after each visit they send photos, a detailed message about what they did with your pet, and sometimes even a video. I just know from the photos of the sitter snuggling my dog that she is in good hands, and it's such a comfort to me to know my girl is being cared for by someone trustworthy! Highly recommend.

Rachel and Jonathan, of Sitter for your Critters shared the care responsibilities for my gregarious Labradoodle over a period of two weeks. From walking him, to teaching him new skills, cleaning up after him, along with his feedings, they kept such good care of him it helped me enjoy my adventure. I even got adorable pics, daily, of my Dood on the walks, yard play, and quiet time with the sitter. The sitter, at each visit, also checked around my home, collected my mail, and watered my plants. Each Sitter for your Critters sitter is amazing. Their kindness and care for my Dood was exemplary! This group was easily the best care I have found for my companion and my home in five years!

We cannot recommend Sitter For Your Critters highly enough! We have had them watching our animals for four trips now and we are NEVER going back to having a friend, neighbor, or family member sit for us. From photos of the pets on every visit to detailed accounts of how the visit went, this company does it all! Cedric is an exceptional person, I am so glad they're watching our pets! You can absolutely rest assured that your home and animals will be in good hands.

We found Sitters for your Critters right as we moved to Chico and used their services regularly for the 7 years we lived there. Owner Kelley Denz and regular sitter Jonathon Greenfield took great care of our two kitties and we always looked forward to seeing Jonathons pro level photos of his visits with them! Just knowing they would be by our property twice a day allowed us to relax and enjoy our times away. The ease of scheduling online and always prompt and friendly communication makes Sitters for your Critters stand out above so many other services. Do yourself a favor and hire these great petsitters!

We have had excellent experiences with Sitter For Your Critter. On our most recent trip, Jonathan took exceptional care of our four cats. I looked forward to getting daily reports and pictures every day. I felt he truly enjoyed our kitties and cared about their well being. I was never concerned about them because I knew Jonathan was taking excellent care of them. Photo cred: Jonathan.

Our little fur ball loves it here! This is probably the only day care he has been to where he made other fur friends! The staff is very caring. They usually have pictures and videos to show us from his day. They are awesome! Highly recommend them. We have used them for both full and half day daycare!

We have brought our dogs here several times in the last 6 months and so far have nothing but great things to say. The pricing is very reasonable and our dogs are always excited when they are dropped off which makes me feel secure in the care they receive here. The staff have always remembered myself, my wife, and our dogs and have treated us with nothing but respect and a great attitude. Additionally, they have been very responsive via email when we are out of town, and their 7-7 business hours on weekdays is EXTREMELY helpful for me when I need to drop before work and pick them up afterwards without having to rely on family to pick them up. Lastly, the added bonus of being able to have our dogs groomed while they are boarded for a weekend or even during the daily daycare is wonderfully convenient. Thank you for the service you provide!

This place is amazing! I took my dogs to be groomed by Mariah, and she was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, and listened to the requests we made, and why. She did such a great job on my dogs, and the pricing was great compared to the big box stores (and I have a huge dog). I will definitely be returning with them. The facility is very nice, too! And they board and have doggy daycare!

Furs and Feathers does a great job taking care of both of my German Shepherds. I board them and use F/F for daycare. When I say “daycare” my pups get super excited. Staff is very friendly and personable. I’ve also met the owner, Pam and she is great as well.

This is one super clean and well organized pet place! These folks here just love all the animal!! They take the very best of care of those in their hands!! We love taking our doggie, ScooterLuLu, for her stays.

The daycare staff are amazing! I appreciate their kind, friendly, and caring work ethics. They are the best! I am so thankful to be able to have a home away from home for our Annie. She loves visiting her friends at daycare and doesn't mind getting a bath any longer. It's a wonderful environment for her.

We have boarded our 3 dogs at this location multiple times and we have never had any issues. The facility is clean, staff is friendly and our dogs come home happy!

Id give 5 + stars if i could. Carol is such an amazing person and groomer. Thank you Carol, for not only grooming my dogs (amazingly) , but for being so kind and nice. You are truly appreciated.

I brought my puppy here and it was such a great experience left him clean and everyone was so kind especially Carol definitely recommend also prices are great!

Best pet resort out there. The staff is really friendly and helpful with your pet needs. Prices are reasonable. For my pups, it is a one-stop shop. Daycare, grooming, and overnight stays when out of town. The best thing is being able to leave your pets without worrying about them. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to board, groom, or just daycare.

Great facility, our dogs are always happy when we board them here and are well taken care of! Very nice people and they have added bathing so the dogs come home nice and clean. Can't say enough great things about this business!

I recently had to leave my dog for a week while traveling to the East Coast, and after trying different solutions like having someone stop by the house or house-sitting, none had quite met my expectations. I was extremely anxious about boarding her, especially when the Park fire broke out on our first night away. However, Terry, the owner of K9 Meridian Resort, was incredibly accessible and reassured me that everything was fine. He eased my worries, and when we picked her up, she was so happy and well taken care of. It almost seemed like she wanted to stay and play some more! I am immensely thankful for Canine Meridian Resort and look forward to having our baby girl stay there again during our future trips, ensuring she has a happy and safe stay while we’re away from home.

Terry and his staff are AMAZING! My family is comforted knowing our dogs are well cared for!

We've brought our energetic and friendly pup here a few times now. He seems to enjoy spending time with the other dogs playing, no complaints from him. He came home happy, healthy and clean. I believe there is a wash service available for longer stays. He had no signs of scuffles with other dogs, despite how exuberant he is to play with others. All the other boarded dogs seem to have a nice temperament, and are quite loved by their families. They seemed to be a happy bunch and no signs of distress at all. I'd venture to say they rather enjoy this play time while owners are away The kennels are very clean and the outdoor area is beautiful, shade is available. There is nice grassy area and the other dogs seemed quite happy with their stay as well. Getting ahold of owner is a bit difficult via phone, because this is also a busy farm utilized for weddings and events. I believe email was best communication for questions. So plan ahead if you have questions or need to contact. The kennel is located at back of property past the main home and horse areas. Drive past the statue of a buck and the driveway will lead you to kennel area Our pup is spoiled and the kids hate having to board him, but they feel good about his stays here and trust the environment. The location is absolutely beautiful and the kennel is clean and peaceful. We will be return patrons for vacations.

Terry and his crew take great care of me when my dad leaves me at Meridian K9 Resort. I love seeing my ranch buddies.

I was worried about leaving my 14yr old big boy at kennel. In the past I've relied on family to care for him. I got home earlier than expected and went to pick him up. Driving up I saw Mr Bear lounging outside with 2 other big dogs. He was just chilling out on the grass catching some rays, I was so relieved to see him so relaxed. Thank you Terry and crew

Terry is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He has been SO GOOD with our rambunctious adoptee, and managed her special needs so well. He has also been super accommodating when we've had a couple last minute emergencies. And to top it off, he's just a really friendly, funny guy. All the other local places charge about double of his prices, so it's a total no brainer. Customers for life!

I have boarded my dog here for 1-2 week stays while on vacation several times. Each time my dog has been happy there and well cared for. The place is always very clean and the staff are pleasant.

The moment I arrived at this country style kennel, I knew my dogs were going to have lots of doggie things to keep their minds and bodies active instead of confined and going crazy. Terry matches up dog groups with small doors they can go in and out of as they choose, all day long. My dogs have long been in need of this type of activity! The enclosures are expansive for daytime freedom and socialization, then they are kenneled at night in separate enclosures for “rest time”.

Great place! Super friendly staff and my dog loves coming here. I’ve been coming here for the last 5 years and highly recommend.

The best day care pet sitting around! A five star rating from me. Maggie adores Brian and can't wait until she is in his car with all her buddies. She comes home all tired out and ready to just cuddle up for the evening. One happy dog. All of the dogs Brian and Melinda take into their day care are friendly, sociable and fun loving. I feel so fortunate to have met Brian at the dog park a year ago, as I can work full time and know that Maggie is having a great time all day! Plus I get a video or picture every day of the dogs having a blast together.

My Goldie Bella LOVES Brian! She gets so happy when he comes over to pick her up! He definitely is her Best Buddy! When Bella is on a walk with Brian or staying overnight, I know she is in good hands. I have absolutely no worries. I completely trust him with my sweet Bella! I also really appreciate Brian for his willingness to work with adjustments in my schedule and for his texts with pictures of their walks together. I highly recommend A Dog’s Best Buddy!

Brian is truly my dogs best buddy. I rescued Sandy in February, she’s a year and a half old golden doodle, full of energy and excitement. Brian has been caring for my girl twice a week since then, she comes home happy and tired. While I’m at work I know Sandy is having fun, Brian sometimes texts me photos of her day and it always brings a smile to my face. But mostly, I know Sandy is in loving hands. Brian is honest, dependable, flexible and he clearly loves dogs. I don’t know what we would do without him.

Brian and Melinda were great to work with. I was coming to grass valley from Mexico for world fest and needed a dog lover to care for my dog child while I was at the music festival. When I called Brian and told him the situation. He asked all the appropriate questions and emailed me paperwork to fill out and send back to him, and gave me his Face Book Page info. This was all six months prior to the music festival. I checked in with him 2 months and 2 week prior to my boy”s stay and Brian said they were anxiously awaiting his visit. On the day of the arrival Brian introduced my child to his outside of the home to make sure all went well and it did. While I was at the music festival Brain was kind enough to send me pictures of my boy playing and having fun. When I picked my boy up from Melinda ( Brian was working) my boy was very relaxed and happy. I can only tell you if you want someone to love your fur as much as you do, I would highly recommend A Dog”s Best Buddy, because I believe Brian and Melinda really do think of dogs as their buddies.

Brian is fantastic! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Watson with him. I started taking Watson to Brian when he was a puppy, under 1 years old. Brian is patient with puppy behavior, and also provides helpful feedback on how they behaved. Brian is fantastic with communication and extremely responsive which is helpful as sometimes plans change with drop off or pick up. I would highly recommend A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting to anyone!

Brian has been the consummate professional dog walker for me. I find him to be thorough, reliable and flexible as his schedule allows. Brian bailed me out of a difficult situation wherein my vacation dog sitter did not honor our agreement and I was left with no back-up plan and only a couple of days to figure things out. Being that I work so much and also have a tremendous amount of love and affection for my dog, Brian helps bridge that gap in my life.

My 10 month old Lab, Gus, has been going to A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting, several days a week over the past several months. Gus loves to spend time with Brian and always comes home well cared for, exercised and tired. Brian sends me pictures of Gus throughout the day and keeps me posted on Gus's activities. I never have any concerns when leaving Gus at a Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting and feel so thankful that I found a place to look after my little love while I am at work or traveling. I have also left Gus over night on many occasions and have been equally happy with the care he receives during those times.

Brian has been a great help looking after my 3 year old Austrialian Shepherd, Simon, when I am working or traveling. My dog is full of energy and could get anxious when I am not around. Brian did not have trouble winning Simon’s affection. My dog always looks forward to spending time with Brian. I work long hours and Brian tries to be flexible to accommodate my schedule. He actually picks up and drop off Simon where I work. Without Brian, I do not know how i’d keep my dog and be able to work. He also send pictures of my happy Simon, which serve as pick me up when I’m exhausted at work.

My dog "Chewie" loves her walks with Brian! She comes back exhausted and sleeps all afternoon, such a great outlet for her puppy energy - and excellent socialization too. Brian is super-professional and great to interact with, and i love getting the text-message updates and videos during her walks, I can see she's having so much fun.

Brian is awesome! He is great with dogs--my dog loves spending the day with Brian-she gets walks and dog park play. He is super reliable--stays in touch and is very flexible with schedules. Highly recommend!

I purchased a detection dog from Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training a few months ago, and I couldn’t be more impressed. With nearly 10 years of experience in the industry, I’ve worked with countless dogs, and I can confidently say that this is one of the best detection dogs I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. The dog's training, drive, and reliability have far exceeded my expectations, making it an invaluable asset in explosive detection for my police department, ensuring safety in our community. Rich and the team at Ridgeside K9 are exceptional. His knowledge of the industry is unmatched, and what truly sets him apart is his genuine kindness and dedication to his craft. It’s clear that quality and helping others take priority over profit, which is rare and deeply appreciated. The care and professionalism that went into every process step was remarkable. Great people, great products, and incredible dogs—what more could you ask for? I highly recommend Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training to anyone looking for world-class dogs and top-notch training. Thank you, Rich, for your outstanding work and dedication to excellence!

Rich at Ridgeside is the absolute best in the business. We had a rescue that was extremely fearful of men including my husband. He was often fearful barking at my daughters and especially my husband who has to leave for his job. We have made a complete 180 with our pup in identifying what the issues are and we built his confidence and his relationship with my husband and daughters. We went from not being sure if he was safe to now having a sweet well behaved dog. This is only after two sessions with Rich, I can't wait to see what our future holds with our new family member. Thank you so much to Rich and the whole incredible team at Ridgeside, hoping to board him there soon.

My boyfriend and I’s dog was trained by Rich at Ridgeside K9 and let me tell you.. it is well worth the investment. Arlo does amazing on and off leash and I feel confident he will be well behaved anywhere I take him. Arlo is neutral toward every person, dog or critter he comes across. He can be in the car with us for hours without complaint and easily goes into his crate whenever it’s time. We love being able to take Arlo on all our adventures, snowmobiling, dirt biking, camping or just on our runs. I have had several dogs that I did not put through training and I was constantly stressed about taking them places and how they would interact with other people and dogs. The peace of mind that comes with having a well trained dog is well worth it. I highly recommend the Ridgeside team for all of your training needs. Whether it’s working on specific issues or wanting a dog that can do it all, Ridgeside has you taken care of.

We recently completed two week Puppy Training with our 13 week old Cane Corso Rocco. All staff from Ridgeside were sweet & helpful over the phone. We spoke to Sarah & Maddie who reassured us, this was the right program. Our Trainer Tish exceeded all expectations on basic commands including sit, heel and down stay. She helped enforce a calm demeanor with thresholds and stating neutral around ther dogs. She even introduced some challenges like walking on a treadmill successfully which with Rocco’s young age and breed would normally be a very difficult task. She kept communication lines open and allowed space for questions throughout the process. She had our pup during his first Christmas and Tish even put together a stocking with treats and gave him some extra love while our kids missed him during the holiday. We look forward to our follow up session and are happy we chose to be a part of the Ridgeside K9 family. Highly recommend! And I would ask for Tish or Maddie EVERY time

I had Annie about 3 months prior to contacting Ridgeline. I tried another month alone in training myself before committing to a boarding program. Annie and I were at a standstill in training and reactivity. I gave them a shot and Ridgeside K9 NorCal Training brought me back the same Annie but with fundamentals to mainstream training and bonding by ourselves! Less then Two weeks later she is mostly off leash and strangers are asking me if I’m a dog trainer. Not a turn key program, you will have to work with your dog once they return but the rewards and progress was substantial for us. I personally dealt with Elissa and Rich and feel they are part of her family too now and encourage me to reach out with future issues. 5 stars and hands down. Thanks Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training!

I brought my 8 month old puppy to Ridgeside for the group classes. I wanted her to be pleasant to be around and to be safe. I knew that I needed training as much as she did. The class atmosphere was non threatening and gentle. My puppy enjoyed the classes and we both progressed weekly. At the end of the sessions she walks beside me on a slack leash and doesn’t try to stop and smell or eat things She stays in place, comes when called and doesn’t rush out of doors ahead of me. We know how to continue working at home and we both enjoy it. I have been encouraged to call Ridgeside if any problems occur. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a place to take their dog for training to check Ridgeside, you won’t disappointed.

We just got our puppy Eddie back from a three week board and train with Tish and Madison. They did an amazing job with him! You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs and their success, going above and beyond to make them happy and comfortable in their home. During this three week period they taught him how to listen, play responsible, relax when he becomes overly excited, and response to so many new and different commands that will make it easier for us to enjoy life with him. They were also super supportive with us teaching, answering questions, and staying in touch, sending numerous pictures and videos everyday with his progress. We are excited to continue working with them to improve on both Eddie and our skills. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for a dog trainer.

Largest, youngest of my pack seemed very compliant of the new exposures and with minimal direction, he performed very obediently! This was a beneficial experience for both of us! I don't follow instructions well and my pup seeing other dogs are not a threat therefore, no threatening behavior from him ! The pinch collar was the perfect connection with each of us involveing positive reinforcement. GREAT REAL WORLD LESSONS OUTSIDE. For private package of 3 I will look forward our last session with confidence and understanding.

Working with Ridgeside K9 was the best investment we’ve made for our pup! My husband and I adopted our pup from the shelter and he’s overall the best boy! However, we struggled for months with recall and leash pulling especially when he’s excited to be around other dogs. Due to his breed being a pitty mix, he’s given a lot less grace when he’s off leash. Going into classes at Ridgeside taught us so much! We worked on a lot of correction and consistency while navigating around other dogs in class. Rich and Elisa really commit to working hands on with each dog and their owners to build lasting skills. We saw noticeable improvement after just a few weeks and in the 6 weeks of group training, our pup Groot has really made strides in his recall and overall behavior. I would 11/10 recommend training here!

If you have a dog that doesn’t mind very well, or keeps you from having family over because they jump on people or constantly bark, or are destructive etc. Or you are afraid someone may leave the door open too long because they may run off, or any other behavioral issues, I highly recommend Ridgeside K9! When Moose first came to live with me he was a year old and full of puppy energy! Never having had any rules or guidance, he was a 75 lb bulldozer, unaware of anything in his path and did whatever he wanted. One time he was chasing a cat towards Highway 99 and I was barely able to get him before he made it to the Highway. That cat wasn’t so lucky and became a smear on the pavement. I knew I had to do something because that could’ve been Moose. I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure how I was going to come up with the money. I spoke to the ladies in the office who advised there were payment plans available through a few different lending programs, so I finally decided enough is enough and put him in the three week board & train program and let me tell you I was not disappointed. I received weekly updates about his progress and pictures! It was always the highlight of my week. The program gave him all of the necessary foundation he needed to understand what was expected of him. At the go home I received all the necessary tools and a lesson on how to manage him at home. For those of you who may think that was where it ended, it did not. I now had to teach Moose that I was now someone who was setting boundaries and expectations for him unlike the whole first year he had spent in my home. First night went great, the second night he started testing everything, and I had to make sure I remained consistent no matter how tired, or how much I didn’t feel like it. When I was unsure about to handle certain situations, I was able to reach out to my update trainer by text and ask questions and they also checked in on us and our progress a week after his go home. Here we are, three weeks later and he is now able to be off leash (with supervision and his e-collar on for back up) outside to go potty and to play with my other dog. Which was something I thought would never be possible because living on Highway 99 just seemed like it was something I didn’t want risk. Thankfully, the trainers at Ridgeside K9 were able to give me that peace of mind and my dog freedom he so desperately wanted and needed in order to run and play. Thank you Rich, Kylie, Elissa, Yuri, and everyone else who helped Moose through his training! I will never be able to thank you enough.
