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.

Your pet will miss me.
I would gladly let Barbara take care of my pets again. Barbara stayed with my Frank and Fievel for a weekend. She spent time with them and remembered to take photos during her stay. Communication was excellent and the apartment was in the same state or even better when I returned.

mature, responsible pet sitter extraordinaire!
This was Sara’s second sit with my sweet shy kitty, Stevie Nicks. She stayed for 2 weeks while I was visiting family. Sara is a dream cat sitter for us as she is calm, caring person, works from home, and has so much love and experience with cats. She sent little videos or photos of Stevie everyday, and any updates about how it’s going. I came home to a happy cat, clean apartment and a few little treats for me too. We look forward to our next sit with Sara!! Highly recommend.

Passionate travelers and pet lovers
Irina and Rus are the most amazing and fantastic housesitters. They are warm and wonderful people, who were careful and thoughtful in taking care of my dog and plants. My garden was in better shape when I came back than when I left! They took beautiful pictures of my dog to send me when I was traveling and I know she was so well looked after. I would highly recommend them to everyone as sitters and I am so thankful to them for watching after my house and dog! Thank you both!

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 !

Cole is quite simply: The Best! This is the 3rd time she has housesat for us. Our two cats always have a great time when she's here, and our house was cleaner upon our return than when we departed. Cole is a great communicator, texting us periodic check-in photos and updates. We will ask Cole to housesit again for us in the future without hesitation and we highly recommend her!

Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters
Richard was exemplary as a house and pet sitter. He was attentive and thorough with his review of instructions, compliant with requests, provided regular home/pet updates, and maintained our home perfectly. An excellent citizen, mature house sitter and reliable.
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.
Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith! I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable. In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture. I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
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.

This place is amazing!! The staff truly cares for the dogs. They are very responsive and so reasonably priced. They were so flexible and understanding as well. Maui & Moe came home so happy and tired after day care and boarding. Highly highly recommend!!
We travel for at least 1 month each year without our dog Lotus, so it is extremely important that there is a doggie day care and boarding facility that we can absolutely trust. That facility is Woofs and Wiggles, which we have been using for many years, both for Lotus and her predecessor Roxie. Woofs and Wiggles is a small family-run business, operated by the owner and a few staff members, all of whom seem to take great pride in what they do, and take great care of the dogs that are entrusted to them. The facility itself is clean and spacious, and the dogs are well looked after. Prices are reasonable. I could not ask for more.
This place is clean, affordable and has knowledgeable staff. I was gone from my pup for 2 days and was extremely happy with how he was taken care of. He has special needs, extreme hair loss because of stress from previous abuse, so his skin needed to have lotion applied to him every day. The staff went out of their way to make sure that it got done. The only downside was that I had to drive out of the way to get to them, but the drive was worth it because of the price and quality compared to some of the closer kennels to me didn’t match up.
Great doggie daycare that's just a few blocks from where I work. Owners, Johnny & Diane, are very friendly and easy going, and the staff are great with all the dogs. The staff live onsite, so there is someone there 24/7, which makes me feel better about boarding my guy, Grayson!
It was by pure accident that I have discovered an amazing daycare in Redwood City. Bottom line: incredibly kind, caring staff; very clean facility; very inexpensive. It is a small family business: the owner's name is Diane and she is assisted by her son Johnny. People: Diane and her staff took amazing care of our dog -- they know her by name, they went into a store to buy her favorite food when the food we left ran out, they pampered her throughout her stay there. They gave her as much love and attention as we do. Amazingly kind people, who took incredible care of our dog. Facility: very clean, with plenty of room for the dogs to run. Prices: I was slightly blown away at how inexpensive they are and how straightforward the pricing is. I hope this is helpful. Cheers!
My toy poodle is my first pet, so he is the baby of the house, especially for my autistic daughter. I came guided by google reviews and with doubts I brought my baby here for Pet Boarding. I’m SO grateful for the excellent care! The place is clean, they have the dogs separated by size, each one with its own mini playground and beds. The manager and assistants were very helpful. I recommend it !
We have four dogs, of whom the whole family loves! The biggest problem with having four dogs is that, while they are part of the family, they cannot go on all family trips or getaways. This being said it is very difficult and expensive to send your family to a place to board for any period of time. This being said, it is awesome to know that a place, like Woofs and Wiggles, is around. It's a pretty good drive for us to drop off our dogs at Woofs and Wiggles, yet we do so gladly knowing they will be well cared for with reasonable prices! The owners, Johnny and Dianne and all of the staff, know all of our dogs and treat them as they would their own. So I have no hesitation bringing my dogs here and leaving them. I also have no hesitation when recommending this place to anyone looking for a place to take their four legged family members! 5 stars from me!
Staff was friendly and prices were very reasonable, but I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my Frenchie here. It didn’t seem like the dogs had much supervision and the layout made it seem like it wouldn’t be suitable for very hot or cold days. I want my frenchie to have supervised care and attention 24/7, and I didn’t feel like this was the place for that.
My puppy loves it! I first tried Woofs and Wiggles because they allow puppies under 4 months and I'm so happy I found them. Johnny is great! My dog gets so excited whenever I bring her to daycare. It makes being away from her much easier, knowing that she's gonna have a great time. :)
Woofs and Wiggles is a great daycare located in a bit of an industrial neighborhood of Redwood City. Johnny and his staff are very caring people who obviously love dogs. My dog always has a great time here and comes home tired and happy.
We have now been using this service for the past year. Our dog walker is fabulous, and Lynda, who runs the business, is so responsive, friendly, and helpful. This service is completely reliable, and all of the pet walkers are great communicators and always show up ready to love on your fur baby.
We love Bay Area Pet Pals! We've been a customer for more than 6 years and have had two different, terrific dog walkers (one moved out of state) — both of them were/are reliable, trustworthy and adore our dog as much as we do. We've also used the owner Lynda's pet boarding services over the years, which have been a huge help. Lynda is caring, reliable, communicative, and treats our dog like one of her own. We always feel better having our dog stay with Lynda in a home environment rather than being boarded in a cage. Happy we found Lynda and Bay Area Pet Pals. Highly recommend!
Love this service, Lynda and her team are a breeze to work with. Once we figured out a schedule that worked, I've been consistently and exclusively booking my dog's walks at Bay Area Pet Pals.
We were so fortunate to find the services of Bay Area Pet Pals around 7 years ago!! The owner Lynda is an amazing pet lover!! BAPP has assisted us with daily walks for our girls Millie and Bella, as well as boarding over the years. If you are looking for top notch 5 star service when it comes to walks or boarding for your pooch BAPP is the place!!! A pic of Bella enjoying herself while we were away on vacation!! : )
Bay Area Pet Pals has earned my trust and business! The owner (Lynda) of Bay Area Pet Pals was responsive to all my emails while I was inquiring and searching for a pet sitter. Lynda was extremely helpful in ensuring me that her team was experienced and accountable for services provided. I am so grateful and happy that I found Bay Area Pet Pals. Brandy was excellent and took great care of Rue (my cat) while I was away. I received a text update from Brandy on Rue which I was very happy about as it put me at ease. She even sent me pictures of Rue :). I am excited to have a trusted team that I can continue to use for pet sitting in the near future. Bay Area Pet Pals is awesome. I definitely feel that they are a team of loving, trained caregivers for peoples fur-babies!
We have been using Lynda’s services for more than a year now and they are fantastic. Cassie has been our dog walker and she was always perfect, on time and best of all, our 2 monsters (English Cocker spaniels) love her. We also had them sitting Canoowie and Lola for a week when we had an emergency trip!!!! Heidi stayed in our place giving them all the attention and always keeping us informed on how they were. We truly recommend Bay Area Pet Pals!
We have been using Lynda/Bay Area Pet Pals for at least 7 years as our petsitter for our 2 little dogs whenever we are out of town or need for other reasons. There is no one else I would trust as much as Lynda to take care of them. Her place is like their home away from home, and she treats and loves them as her own. And they get happily excited when they see her. Lynda has also had to give one of our dogs medication every day while we were gone, and she followed through with no problem. My husband and I highly recommend Bay Area Pet Pals to take excellent care of your pets. For us, it's peace of mind that our two dogs are in good hands while we're gone.
I’ve been using Bay Area Pet Pals (BAPP) for as long as I’ve had my dog (10+ years) and there is absolutely no other dog boarding service nor individual that I would trust to provide as outstanding a level of expertise with kind loving care as BAPP and Lynda. Lynda is experienced, professional yet personable and I have complete peace of mind and trust her implicitly whenever I leave my dog in her care. In fact, all my vacations are always scheduled with her availability in mind. I truly can’t imagine a pet care provider who could be any better.
Bay Area Pet Pals have been a godsend for me. We were new to the Bay area 3 years ago and I didn't have the family I normally relied on to watch my cats. On top of that one of my cats is diabetic and the other has chronic kidney disease. I'm a Veterinary Technician so finding the right people to watch my cats was critical and boarding them just stresses them out. I reached out to Lynda and was super impressed by her business model and the care takers she hires. You give her a lot of information about your pets and that really eased my mind that she cares about them. She is upfront about what she needs from the pet owner so there are no issues while you are gone. I travel a lot and Alisse and Kim and absolutely phenomenal! They give my diabetic cat her insulin and Alisse was even willing to learn to give fluids to my old gal. They spend quality time with them and are in constant communication with me via text or email. You do pay for the service but the peace of mind I get leaving my cats in their care is worth it to me. I highly recommend them!
Heather was awesome! We have a very shy cat but after a few days they were best friends. This company is legit. They scheduled a meet-and-greet and had thorough information forms to make sure the sitter isn't locked out and any specific needs the pet had. Will be booking again for future trips!
I am really impressed by the staff at Wag. We’ve been taking our dog here for about three years. Everyone we have met has been outstanding. It is more expensive than some of the other places we previously tried, but the quality of attention and care is absolutely worth it. We have a rescue dog who can be very timid around strangers. The staff at Wag has always been warm, kind, and caring with him. They remember him by name when we bring him in and treat him as if he was their own. Most importantly, our dog has opened up and now greets the staff as people he trusts.
The wag hotel in redwood City provides an adequate service. They seem to really care about the animals and provide photos when you're away. I gave instructions for him not to play with other dogs and not to let him play with any other toys except for the two that I provided. (He has been sick in the past so I didn't want him exposed). One of the photos they sent me was with another toy in his mouth. The second criticism I have is the cost. My boy was there for less than 36 hours and it was astronomical in price. For 36 hours of boarding. And one 20 minute ball session for each day cost me over $250. Just ridiculous. Unfortunately, I will have to find an alternative for next time I'm out of town.
Hi! I’ve been taking my dog to Wag for the past 6 months and I am truly grateful I found this place. Everyone is so kind, helpful, and great with my dog 🐕. I want to give a shout out to Miracle and Taryn. Super sweet and I enjoy sharing stories of our dogs together. Keep up the positive caring crew for our fur babies. My dog looks forward to her play dates there wagging tail and all!! ☺️ Best, Julie 😃
I'm new to Wag Redwood City and so far our experience has been positive. Our pups appear to be well cared for, the employees are well trained and appear to genuinely care for pets. I've found the employees to be transparent and informative in communicating even on the rare occasion someone has gotten it wrong, which we appreciate. Thank you to the Wag Redwood City staff. We appreciate the service you provide and the calming classical music played in the lobby...no doubt a good thing for pets and humans alike.
We have been taking our dog to Wag Hotel in Redwood City for years. They take excellent care of our dog. Earlier this year, our dog had an emergency health problem. We were promptly called, but were in flight and didn’t get the call until we landed. Our dog was taken to a local animal hospital for treatment. We were kept informed the whole time and felt like she was in excellent hands so we didn’t have to immediately return home. All was good in the end, she was given antibiotics and returned to Wag where they gave our dog her medication exactly as the vet instructed them to. Overall we have been very happy with Wag’s professionalism and kindness.
I only book with Wag, and they never disappoint! Owning a Great Dane means I need a sitter who can handle his size and personality, and the team at Wag is absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure my dog is well cared for, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I always receive updates and photos, which give me peace of mind while I’m away. If you’re looking for reliable and caring pet care, I highly recommend Wag!
This is a great facility for taking care of dogs when your work or life expects you to travel without your dogs. We have only used overnight stays and not day boarding. We have left our dogs at length about 5-7 days and they have come back home safe and happy. I do think private rooms are better equipped to take care of dogs. The staff are courteous and they take time to respond with relevant and appropriate messages when we usually call back to check on pets.
Close miss on a 5 star review, here is our breakdown. We will board again at Redwood City Wag. It was clean, the staff up front was super friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. It was organized and geared towards our pets. There was even a cute welcome sign for our dogs at the front door when we showed up. Overall our dogs were given food each meal time and their treats we left them in each meal bag. They did have water too. We did receive our photo memories of the dogs each day so we know they were taken out for their Specialized Care time. The cameras worked and never stopped working so we had constant access to see them while in their room. We also received report cards on each dog about their stay. They had a grooming appointment the day before their stay so we passed on the complimentary grooming that was included in the package we chose. But, both dogs came home clean. Their room was clean the whole stay of 7 days. They called us promptly when they noticed the appetite was low for both dogs and asked if they could add a topper to entice them to eat. We have zero qualms about their care and services for the dogs. Here is the dock in one star We boarded our two large dogs here because they had an ultra suite available and we wanted a larger space for them to be in while we were out of town for 8 days. We originally were booked at the Santa Clara location but we could not get them the ultra suite. The largest room they had available was big enough comfortably for one large dog. So we switched last minute to the Redwood City location purely for that reason. Both our dogs are rescues with horrible start to life backgrounds so we knew giving them extra comfort and keeping them together was a key to their stay here so they did not feel dumped. They each had their toy they loved and their night time milk bone with no problems or objections from Wag. Where our only issue is was when we arrived we asked to see the room they were in. Not a tour, just walk back with them to say bye. We wanted this because we know how sensitive our dogs are to our leaving and this was the first time boarding them anywhere (normally they stay with family). We were quickly rejected by the site supervisor to our request - just cold and curt. It didn’t sit well for the money we were spending to board them there- but on a more personal standpoint, the customer service from her specifically made the difference here from a five star to a four star review. This was also for our own comfort as we were going to be out of state, it was our first time boarding our Dog's and far enough away that we couldn’t get to them quickly if needed. (We did have an emergency contact on file if anything happened.) We were the only drop off in the lobby and staff was able to retrieve and send home two other dogs from the play area quickly while we were there getting checked in. A totally separate individual came out to take our dogs back to their room and both our dogs were trying to stay with us instead of going in the back. He was kind and gentle with the dogs but us walking them back would have made all parties more at ease. It was stressful for our dogs and us, their/our trip could have started off much differently and better than it did. This put their staff in an unnecessary and uncomfortable position. Regardless of the situation that didn’t allow us to walk back with them, it could have been handled better from their own leadership on site. When you are running a pet hotel it should be obvious that you are working with families that value their pets and treat them as family. No one wants to start their boarding experience with their dogs fighting to not go in the back. That extra minute of conversation and understanding or walking them back instead of seeing them fight not to go would have been the chef’s kiss. We would recommend and stay again at Wag Redwood City.
I love this hotel for Doggie Daycare! My dog gets excited when he knows we’re turning the last corner. He’s going to be boarded soon so I’ll know how he does with overnights. The staff is awesome, the facility is clean. The picture is what he looks like after a day of play!… He spent a week at Wags and it must have been a great experience as he didn’t want to leave!!… He spent another week at Wags and had another great experience.
Everything went well during my dog’s first stay at Wag. She was happy to trot right in at drop off so I had a good feeling about it from the start. The staff in Redwood City is friendly, professional, accommodating and they love dogs! Thank you for taking such good care of my dog.
We're on our second dog here. Our first Bernese Mountain Dog used to get so excited just mentioning the name Planet Pooch where he enjoyed many daycares and extended stays. The staff and owner are caring dog people and really do take an interest in your pet while in their care. Our second Bernese is a pup and ready for loads fun and interaction at Planet Pooch. We appreciate that PP allows un-neutered males up to a year in a playful setting and doesn't confine them as you will find in other places.You won't find a better place on the peninsula for your dog.
Amazing doggie daycare.. we have been sending our pup for 5 years now and we love the place.. everyone is friendly, it's clean, well organized, dogs are well loved.. the play area for the dogs is large and roomy. Our pup always comes back tired and happy..
My pups love going here and they are greeted by name every time. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the overall care feels very personalized. It’s also a small business which we love supporting so they may not have some bells and whistles of bigger places, but they definitely care more about our dogs. The drop off and pick up are really easy too.
They are the best! It’s been so great to have a place for our pup to go and be social. It’s the only place he likes to play with other dogs and people! We’ve seen his behavior improve steadily over time and we know they are a big part of it. The staff really take the time to get to know each dog and work with individual needs. We tried dog walkers and another daycare before finding planet pooch and the others just couldn’t compare. Highly recommend this local gem!
I would not recommend planet pooch. We had a bad experience with them and my girlfriends dog. The dog came back from a boarding session while we were out of town with a large scab and there was no information shared with us during that time. We bought a package for daycare with them and weren't allowed to use it for day care. They canceled on our next boarding session the day before it was scheduled to start and we had to scramble to find an alternate. There was some clear miscommunication between what the owner was recommending in the evaluation and how the staff operated.
We had been looking at different doggie daycares in Redwood City before we chose Planet Pooch and we never regretted it! We have a VERY hyper husky and the exercise she gets at Planet Pooch is the only thing that makes her pass out at the end of the day. The place is clean and well-kept, and we love that they have web cameras so you can watch what your pup is doing at any time. They also have separate rooms and outdoor areas for small dogs and big dogs. One of the things that we like the most is the personalized approach. The owner and his stuff are very nice, we feel like they really care about dogs and always send us fun videos or pictures. Highly recommend this place!
Was no help at all with an emergency situation when my wife's service dog was lacking the correct animal passport to travel on our trip to Portugal. Was told the manager would have to make an exception but the manager was not there on that particular day. Needless to say, I was forced to stay with my Barkley and let my disabled wife travel alone.
We love Planet Pooch! For nearly 9 years, we've been taking our dog here for overnight stays when we're on vacation. They go to great lengths to make the dogs comfortable. In fact, on big firework night like New Year's Eve and Independence Day, they run big fans to drown out the noise. The hours may not always be ideal, but that's only because the top focus is on creating a great environment for the dogs.
This place has taken such great care of my dog for every vacation over the past 7 years - my dog always returns exhausted and happy. He also seems genuinely excited and happy when he arrives. If that's not an indicator of a great care provider I don't know what is!
Can't imagine taking our dog anywhere else. Dan and all of his employees put so much effort into making Planet Pooch a safe and constructive environment for the dogs. Our dog is always so excited to go in, and it makes taking trips much easier when we know he's having a blast the entire time.
Our dog's second home! He is so loved and well taken care of he's staying at Andy's Boarding Place.
We have been boarding our two labs with Kevin for over 8 years, and love him for so many reasons. Kevin truly loves and cares for these dogs, and it is evident in how excited they are to see him. He frequently sends photos and videos of them playing, napping, and cuddling with each other. Kevin does not use crates or enclosures of any kind, as they are all free to roam and treated as if they were his own, in his personal space. He is very attentive at all times. I have full confidence in Kevin to care for our dog children, as he always allows for a stress-free vacation when we are away. I appreciate his responsibility and love for the pups. Thank you, Kevin!
Haven’t met any other dog daycare or boarding place that cares more about their dogs than Kevin at Andy’s Boarding Place. He is always very communicative, the hours are great, and he sends updates throughout the day so you know your dog is happy. Our dogs have been going to Kevin for more than four years and we don’t plan to look anywhere else. We always have peace of mind that they are safe and happy at Andy’s Boarding Place.
Andy’s Place is our puppy’s favorite daycare in the area! Kevin takes incredible care of all of the dogs, and they all look like they have a great time.
Very affordable for this area and our pup plays nonstop with all the other dogs every time he is there.
Kevin’s the best
Friendly people real animal lovers
All I can say is that this is what a dog needs when boarding, someone who really loves and take good care of them. Valecans home is the only place I would ever leave my dog, very communicative, professionals, animal lovers, today is my dogs birthday and I couldn’t be with him because of work, and they made a birthday party for him, this is what our pets deserve. Thank you very much again, I really wish you the best❤️
Christian has been our pet host for 2 years now; he always goes above and beyond, and his team is also amazing! We are very pleased with this service; it’s super convenient, and every time we need them, they are there for us. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog is going to be in good hands with them. 🙌🏻 …
Andrea watched our two dogs for almost a week. She was very communicative and accommodating. She also took very good care of our elder dog when he was feeling sick. We would absolutely use Andrea's services again!
Christian watched Ollie while we were away on vacation and sent us daily pictures! Ollie was so happy & came back tired from all the playing around :) I'll definitely have Christian watch Ollie again in the future. Thank you so much for taking good care of him!
Andrea and Cris were great hosts to my dog! The communication was great and my dog had a fantastic time!
Very smart and thoughtful dog care. I would absolutely repeat!
We started with Happy Tails in October and could not be happier. They take such great care of Susie, my dog. She is always so excited to sprint out of the car to daycare. I tried a few other daycares in the area and Happy Tails far exceeds. The caring staff here really make the place as the fact they foster a fun, non-aggressive vibe. You can tell they really care about all the dogs. So happy we found this place!
What a great place! They were very good with my puppy and gave him the hair trim he needed. I didn’t get the groomers name, but she is amazing at what she does. The only place I will be taking my dog from now on.
Happy tails doggy day care been caring for our family dogs for the last 10 years. Our previous dog who passed away used to snuggle with the older pups, she had lots of separation anxiety so I was so grateful Happy tails were able to accommodate her. Our current pup, a super energetic catahoula mix - has been a frequent visitor for overnight stays been going to Happy tails for years and also gets a bath upon pickup.. we are very grateful for a cage free, caring place such as this
Happy Tails is our beloved pooch's home away from home, for daycare a few times a week as well as stays for up to two weeks. Jax is excited every time, gets lots of love and treats from the family & staff, and loves the social, crate-free environment. You should know that this is not "luxury" boarding, it can be noisy, and may not work for super-shy dogs, but I'm so grateful for the love they show our Jax!
My dog always has a good time coming here. I know the staff really cares because everyone at happy tails knows my dog by her name. They even recognizes my car so often when I drive up they start prepping my pup for pick up and when I finish parking, she is already ready to go. They also do a good job with nail grinding, bathing and other grooming services. 10/10 would recommend.
Love this daycare/boarding for my fur baby. This is my second dog that goes to Happy Tails and I am very happy with the care they provide. My dog gets very excited when we pull up to the door. The staff is very kind and clearly they love dogs! I highly recommend Happy Tails for daycare and overnight care!!
Happy Tails is truly one of the best dog daycare centers in the Bay Area!! My dog and I drive an extra 80 minutes roundtrip from downtown SF to Belmont just for Happy Tails. My dog is beyond loved and well cared for every time we go. He no longer attends regularly - perhaps twice a month - yet they always remember him no matter how much time has passed. The staff are kind, thoughtful, and patient. The prices are incredibly reasonable. My dog has the full day 20 visit package and it’s a great value in comparison to so many other dog daycare services. I highly recommend Happy Tails for your dog’s daycare needs!! Bonus: at Christmas they invite Santa to come visit the dogs!
My dogs have been going to Happy Tails for years for day care and overnight boarding. They love it and the people there really care about the dogs. They have large indoor area for the dogs to play and a smaller outdoor space for them to be able get outside. They break up the dogs into groups based on size and age I believe (small dogs with small dogs, big dogs with big). They also do grooming which my dogs also have had dsone there and they do a nice job cleaning up the pups!
This place takes such good care of our girl Dottie. She comes home so tired and happy, I know she's in good hands. They offer nail clips and baths before you pick up (for a fee) so she's all fresh for home. They do open sleeping, grouped by size/energy, so our babies aren't in a cage, just hanging out and snuggling. An overnight attendant stays with them. One thing to note, they're only open for pickup on Sundays from 3-6pm.
I found Happy Tails after Península Pet closed their dogs. I was in a tough situation since Peninsula had looked over my three dogs and now I was lost. We gave it a try and our labradoodle loves it, we are thankful we found them.
I can’t say enough about my experience with Smilin Dogs over the past 10 1/2 years. It is the ONLY place I can take my very spoiled and overly attached pup where he doesn’t object and enthusiastically spends his day. The staff couldn’t be more caring and friendly. I highly recommend Smilin Dogs!!
Smiling Dogs is the best! I’ve been taking my great Dane there for many years and they love him and take care of him like he’s their own. I highly recommend Smiling Dogs. The staff are friendly, professional, and wonderful. Most of all they just love your dog! Highly recommend.
Maxie loves it at Smilin Dogs. They take really good care of him. They worked with us to accommodate his special needs. I would recommend 10 fold. He is Diabetic with Separation Anxiety. Staff has been attentive and very responsive when I have questions. Thank you Smilin Dogs...
Omg where do I start. If you want to send your dogs to people who truly care, go here. I have 2 dogs. A puppy (Victor) and an elderly dog, Benji. Sadly, Benji crossed the rainbow bridge. I got a card in the mail from Smilin Dogs. I thought “that’s sweet that they thought of us”. I opened it and there were AT LEAST 10 and probably more messages from the staff with personal anecdotes about my dearly beloved dog. THEY KNEW AND LOVED HIM!!! No words to describe this. Our pup now gleefully has fun there and the staff is amazing. You can’t go wrong.
We’ve been sending our pups to Smilin Dogs for decades. Our 2 doodles get crazy excited every Wed when the van comes to pick them up for weekly hike. It’s the only place we trust for dog boarding when we’re away. The staff at Smilin Dogs are wonderful so we know our fur babies are always in good hands.
We’ve used smilin’ dogs for almost 10 years with two very different dogs. Both are large so they go on the off leash hikes and it’s a win-win. The dogs have so much fun (even our current much more anxious dog seems to do great), the dogs get social time and lots of exercise and the Smilin’ Dogs tea is always so helpful and willing to give super specific feedback on the dogs. The “camp counselors” love these dogs and their hikes and treat them like their own! Huge thank you to Smilin’ Dogs!
Another successful day for Cali at Smilin Dogs. Came home a happy camper and exhausted. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Smiling Dogs is awesome! My dog loves it.....they take such good care of the dogs. Clean, well maintain, and a great environment for all dogs. Smiling Dogs is just what my active little French Bulldog needed.
Our Doberman fur baby loves Smilin Dogs and if I tell her that “you’re going to the ranch today” she gets very excited and can’t wait to go run and play with her dog friends. She was anxious with other day care providers but does well at SD’s when boarding too.
Nothing but great things to say about Smilin Dogs. My dog has been going to the ranch twice a week for years and we board on occasion. They are easy to communicate with. My dog has been happy and well cared for.
Lex is the best dog walker I've ever had. My dog is a sensitive, anxious girl. If you just raise your voice or give her a mean look, she may never trust you again. But after a year of going out with Lex, she still adores him. She goes absolutely nuts everytime he gets here. She even knows what his van looks like and now she checks out every van we walk by to see if it's his. I could not recommend Lex and Pawsitive Dogs more highly.
Maria helped me with my dog while I was away on holiday. She was very communicative. She would keep me updated with texts messages and pics throughout the day. I specifically chose Maria because she is very active. She would take my pup for LONG walks and I LOVED that about her. She is a good fit for my fur child 🐕 and many others I imagine ❤️.
Ry The Pet Guy and his dog walkers are life-savers! I adopted my 3rd rescue over the pandemic, a year old German Shepherd with a lot of energy, and finding Ry has been such a relief. He gets picked up twice a week by Gabe who takes him for his pack walk and even works with him on behavioral issues. He sends spectacular photos of their pack walks and video of how to continue the training exercises. Gabe goes above and beyond to connect with the dogs. Best of all, when we board all 3 dogs, they love him and the rest of Ry's crew and come home happy and relaxed. Absolutely top service for dog care!
Ry The Pet Guy and his team have made our trips abroad much less stressful! We know that our precious little dog is safe, cared for and relaxed while he is with Ry. All the staff are very attentive and send us pictures of our wee pup while we are away. Ry and his staff provide a calm environment for all of the dogs. We trust Ry and his team for not only walks but longer stays too. Our dog comes home happy and pampered!
Highly recommend Ry and his wonderful team for daycare, training, and boarding! We love Gabe who takes our big boy Jerry (far left in photo) out with a dog group three days a week. Jerry loves his time with his paw pals!
We absolutely love the service. Ryland is very reliable as are his staff. Our dog loves all of the walkers and we even get gifts from Ryland at Christmas time which a lovely touch. Highly Recommended!
Ry and team are so thoughtful with their dog care. This is the *ONLY* dog boarding place where our pup gets excited to go with them - all other places we've tried, our pup gets scared and nervous, breaks your heart as a dog mom! Instead, when Ry and his guys show up, our little girl cannot wait to jump in and head off to a weekend with her friends - did I mention they pick up your pup too? So convenient! Better still, Ry takes magazine quality photos and will send them to you while you're away from your beloved pup. Are they the least expensive option? Of course not, but the quality of care, the love they show these dogs, and the piece of mind of knowing our girl is well cared for while we're away makes it completely worth it. Thank you, Ry and team!
We've been using Ry The Pet Guy for over 2 years and have nothing but great things to say about them! Our dog (the one on the far left) goes 3 days a week, and has boarded with them for long weekends and extended stay when we have been out of town. Our dog loves the entire staff and has no problem being away. Gabe has been picking-up/returning her, and our dog can't wait to go in the morning! Gabe lets us know the 30 min slot he will be coming, and sends us daily photos. He is friendly and delightful to work with and we trust him to leave our dog inside if we are not at home. He also does some obedience training!
I would highly recommend Ry the Pet guy. Our original plan of care from a dog sitter fell through at last minute and our pup (Frenchie) has never been away from us. So I was a little nervous about leaving him but Ry and his staff were super warm and welcoming with Stitch. He was so excited and doing zoomies on the property when we arrived. He is a huge ball of energy so I was curious how he would do there. Throughout the 3 days we received daily updates on Stitch and pictures of his walks and adventures. It was such a good feeling to be reassured he was happy, well cared for and having a great time with other dogs. We will definitely be using their boarding services again. Stitch definitely felt the love! Thanks Ry and staff.
If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring place to leave your dog, look no further than RTPG. As someone who had never left my dog alone, I was understandably nervous about leaving him in the care of strangers. But from the moment I dropped off my pup, Indy, I knew he was in good hands. The team at RTPG are true dog whisperers, and had Indy comfortable and happy from day one. Throughout my trip overseas, they kept me updated with pictures of Indy on epic walks with his new friends, and I could see from his eyes that he was having the time of his life. They even helped Indy overcome his fear of bigger dogs, and gave me tips on how to be the best owner possible. When I picked Indy up, he was better adjusted than when I left him, and eager to return to RTPG. Their facilities are spotless, they come and pick up your pupper and drop him off for daycare as well. Overall, I can't recommend RTPG and their team enough. They truly care about the dogs in their care and go above and beyond to ensure they have a great experience. If you're looking for a place where your dog can be safe, happy, and have an adventure, look no further than Ry The Pet Guy.
Ryland and his team are amazing! They take such good care of my fur baby, Harry, who can be an odd ball, and frankly, a handful. They understand dog behavior so well, and give my dog so much love and attention. He gets so excited when he knows that he is going to stay the weekend with Ry and team. Ryland has also done extensive behavioral training to be a trusted dog trainer. His passion for learning new tools and approaches impressed me, and made me feel at ease when I first began using him. I am so grateful to Ry the Pet Guy and team for being part of our pack and trusted caretakers. 11 out of 10 recommend!!
