Pet Sitters in Rio Dell

They are the best doggy daycare/ boarding we’ve taken our dog to. They are very involved, very educated, and I feel so safe leaving my Louis with them during the work week. I 10000% recommend them over other options in the area. They care greatly about animals, and my puppy comes home in such a good mood and sleepy from all the dog play!! They’re also great photographers and update consistently throughout the day on how your doggo is doing :)

100% Recommend Pine Hill Pet Care! My pup always come home happy and tired. They are great with communication and accommodating with scheduling changes.

Highly recommended. Pine Hill Pet Care cared for our cat in our home when we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. They took excellent care of our cat, sent daily updates via text, and were very friendly and flexible. I will definitely be using their services again.

I've been using Pine Hill for my dog waste pick up for a few months now. #1. Amazing customer service. Very good communication about scheduling. Always professional, polite, and just pleasant to talk to. #2. Reasonable pricing for a month's worth of service. #3. Does an excellent job picking up, even when the grass gets a little long. I highly recommend their pick up service and believe any service they provide would be worth it!

The folks at Pine Hill Doggy Daycare were super professional and sweet. Our pup came back happy and absolutely exhausted after a full day romping around the beach and yard at day care. Pine Hill picked up and dropped off our girl as well as sent video/photo updates during the day. I would highly recommend Pine Hill Doggy Daycare and plan to use them many times in the future!

Melissa was great with our little senior dog. He got along well with her other dogs, and seemed to be having a good time. The homey vibe is what we were looking for instead of a cage and one hour a day exercise. I highly recommend Pine hill Doggy Daycare! Austin Snyder

They always take such good care of Arrow, I love seeing videos of her playing with the other dogs in the woods and on the beach on their Instagram feed, while I'm off on business. Whether it's a dog walk on a long workday, or dog boarding while I'm out of town, I know she's happy and having a blast

Awesome pet sitter-- they did such a good job taking care of my beloved kitties. Thanks again, will always use Pine Hill from now on. :)

My dog loves this place and she does not like every daycare. Definitely recommend for playful dogs, I'm sure all dogs love Happy Dog as well!

The best doggy daycare! My basset Hickory doesn't always find it easy to be social. The Happy Dog folks make sure he is in the right play group for his needs and that he has a true happy experience! They often give me reports when I come for pick up so I know he is getting personalized care not just another face in the crowd. As much as Hickory enjoys seeing his doggy friends I think he likes his people friends even more! The staff at Happy Dog are truly wonderful! Every time we come to drop off my dog is wagging his tail and every time I pick up he has a happy doggy smile. With half day and whole day options prices are very reasonable. This place really does make for a Happy Dog!

Happy Dog is great! We've taken our dog there several times. The staff is extremely friendly. They have indoor kennels and also have covered outdoor play areas for the dogs to run around.

I find myself relating to pet parents who know just how important it is to find a safe and happy place for their animal companions. I found that magical spot in Happy Dog. My pup comes home after a long day of playing and being showered with love and attention.

My dog Ripley absolutely loves it here. I have to roll the back windows of the car up on the way to drop him off, because he once got so excited that he jumped out the window! He is always super happy to come play with his friends and is peacefully tired when I pick him up. The staff are all friendly, calm, professional, and efficient -- and my dog loves them, too. They manage the busy drop off and pick up times of day amazingly well. I had never used a doggy daycare service before this and was very hesitant at first, but I have been put completely at ease, and I know that if I ever need to board Ripley here overnight he will be in good hands. ❤

We were displaced due to the fires. Our beagle was with us and we needed a day care so while my daughter attended remote classes she wouldn't pester her. This place is amazing from the staff to the other dogs they allow. Our dog came back at the end of the day tired and happy. After the first day she hopped right it if the car and ran with the attendants inside she was so thrilled to be there! They are observing very strict and careful covid distancing. Which is so important right now. We were so happy to find them and if we're ever there again I'll 100% bring it dog there.

My dogs, Sienna and Spencer, absolutely love their weekend and daycare getaways to Happy Dog!! They start getting excited on the freeway before dropping them off. Happy Dog staff have been great to them. It feels good to get away and know our fur kids are in good hands!!!

My dog has gotten kicked out of another daycare before for playing too rough because they sorted dogs into 3 categories. I love that happy dogs sorts them based on size AND play style. My boy loves it there! They have better prices than the other place too and are pretty quick with getting my dog out and notifying if there were any issues.

I've taken my dogs to a number of places and Happy Dog is by far the best. My dog is getting older and requires a little extra attention and the staff at happy dog treated her amazing. And when work kept me away for weeks on end they made sure Maggie was in good health and happy. I can't say enough of how awesome this business and staff are. Many thanks !

Staff folks are superb. My Corgi, Zuli nearly knocks the door down to get in at drop off and just as happy to come home, when I pick her up. I’ve brought my dogs to Happy Dog daycare and boarding since 1998. Always a great experience for the dogs and for me!

I had my puppy Penelope stay in their care while I was at work for over 4 months. They were professional, kind and engaging with my puppy! I was blow away by how kind and caring they were! I received daily pictures of her play time and any questions I asked were answered. My puppy had the highest quality care with puppy ply, puppy art time and even a bubble party! I HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who is looking for care. 10/10!!

I am a travel nurse and needed someone to take care of my sweet pup, Ollie, while I was at work. Lindsay came through and was there for me when I needed it most! She took Ollie in like he was her own and took such great care of him. I never worried when I dropped him off. I could tell Ollie loved going there because he basically ran out of the car as soon as we pulled up to her house! Lindsay is extremely caring, kind, flexible, and communicative. I love that she limits how many dogs she takes per day to maintain safety. She also sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup in action. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a doggie daycare that is fun, safe, and affordable. She is absolutely wonderful!

When I got my new puppy last spring, I asked my vet if she could recommend a puppy friendly pet sitter. Her response " Pet Sitter Extraordinaire" with Lindsey's contact attached. Best thing that could have happened for me!! Lindsey is so incredibly wonderful in every way and goes above and beyond to ensure your dog's safety and comfort in her home. Her home is literally my dog's second home. So highly recommended!!

100% recommend! Lindsey will take care of your pets as if they were her own. She's sweet, kind, professional, easy to talk to and incredibly caring. I've even recommended her to a few of my cleaning clients and they were blown away by her care of their pets. I would trust her everyday with my love fluffs.

Lindsey and her husband Chris are so caring and so attentive to all the dogs they care for! Whenever I have to leave town I know my pups are in good hands with miss Lindsay. She goes the extra mile for my doggos! She even gave them all Christmas presents. She bakes them homemade treats and is a registered vet tech! So not only are they safe, I can rest well ok owing that they are being looked after by a veterinary professional! Thank you Lindsey! Loofy and Cody go crazy when we get there!! They love it

Paws and Wet Noses is one of the best! I’m one of those pet parents who is WAAAAY over protective of the care my animals receive. But I know that I can trust this team with any type of care. My diabetic pet needs multiple daily medications and they were able to take care of him so well it was like I had never left. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!

This place knows how to take care of your pet. With Lindsey's veterinary experience and their obvious love for animals, I can't think of a better place.

Seemed nice but couldn't help me!

THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS We recently left our 3 dogs for a week at Whisker City, in Fortuna, CA. (all Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd Dogs) We were a bit anxious as our dogs haven't been away from home more than an overnight in their lives. The facility is clean and inviting and full of animal loving, caregivers. We picked them up this morning and, of course, they were happy to see us but I think they might have been as happy to stay with their new friends as to go home with us. The personal care that the babies received was unbeatable and the pricing is very reasonable. If I could give 10 STARS I would. Thanks to all the wonderful caregivers at Whisker City, Sincerely, Sherman, Buster and Emma

Friend of mine boarded her dog here. He didn't want to go home.

I have been a dog owner my entire life. Taking vacations away from my fur babies can be very stressful. We have never boarded our dogs and we have always had a pet sitter come to the house. We just returned from a 10 day vacation to find our babies happy and well cared for and house spotlessly clean! This is our first time using Mike’s services and he will forever be our first call going forward. We have three dogs, one of them is a senior, another one requires special medication including weekly injections, and the third is very high energy and needs a lot of exercise. All of their needs were met flawlessly. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and could see they were having a fantastic time with Mike. We are truly grateful for the excellent service and love Mike gave our babies. Looking forward to future vacations knowing that Our precious babies will be loved and cared for a while we are away.

Mike took great care of our cats and pet chicken while we were away. He sent us updates and pictures of the cats, made sure our senior kitty got his meds, and responded to texts quickly anytime we reached out.

Mike gets an A+ Mike understands how special my cats are to me, so he happily agreed to mimic some of their daily (feeding and playing) routines to maintain normalcy in my absence. But at the same time, he had his own "pet voice" he used with them and developed friendships with them. He sent me short videos and photos of them while I was away and responded promptly to texts I sent him. When I got home, I could barely notice that he house/pet sat there for a week. And my cats pretended like they had noticed I'd been gone. That was a good sign. I highly recommend Mike as your house/pet sitter. He's been a professional in the Humboldt Region for decades and is true to his dependable reputation. The Peace of Mind I had while I was gone was worth many times more than I paid. This is the pet sitter you want if you don't want to worry about your pets while you're gone. But he won't be available the third week in October ever! I'm calling it right now!

Mike Seeber was a great house/dogsitter! The dogs enjoyed their time with him and got a lot of walks. The house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend! Jan Ross

Mike is very caring and sensitive to our dog Sadie and he’s very conscientious about her needs and her schedule. We completely trust Mike to take good care of her and our home.

Chris was extremely accommodating for our large breed dog. He stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time. Chris took him to the local park and sent us pictures of his adventures at the end of each day to reassure us he was doing great. He is very reasonably priced, and we highly recommend his services for even the most attached pet parents!

Unfortunately never had a good experience at this place. Front desk is rep is unprofessional and disorganized. My dog always comes back with fleas.

Boarded my puppy here for 4 days while we were out of town. No issues at all. My Honey git the VIP treatment and it was her first time being around other dogs. When we picked Honey up she was happy and had no issues. The staff was great with her while I was there and they seem really knowledgeable about dogs. Plan to use their services again.

You can rest assured your animals will be well cared for here and may not even want to go home.

I love this place. Thanksgiving was the first time we left our dog with VIP. I have to say they were excellent. I called to check on our sweet pup and they weren't even irritated. They called me back and updated me on everything he was up to. When my husband picked our dog up, he learned that they spoiled him. Lol I love it! It gave me so much comfort to know he was doing so well being away from us. And that he was treated so well. We've already got another boarding session signed up for him. We will continue to board here. We love it!

Just traveling through and left our dog here for daycare for a few hours and he loved it! The staff was very friendly and our dog had a blast! I would recommend this place and will use them again when we come back out this way!

Our pups were worn out from playing at VIP for 2 days of daycare while we got to experience the beauty of the redwoods, Trinidad Beach area, Lady Bird Park and Avenue of the Giants. We would definitely have Scooby & Sissy stay there again. Staff was great and informative. ...it's an older building so don't let that hinder you in any way. The setup is great just.ask staff to let you tour around.

I have helped out on occasion 1st It is the cleanest kennel facilty. I have EVER seen, more than necessary which says it All Every "guest:" (dog) no matter how spoiled, previously traumatized, quirky, annoying,or flat out plum stupid is treated with respect and dignity. The owner has essentially spent her life in this pursuit with dedication although its sorta beneath her abilities gifts and intellect, you could almost think its almost as important as she is. I don't say that out of adoration. My onbjectivety is unassailable, inexorable and beyond question. I'm glad my dogs didn't know about this- and love Genna more than me. Yes, yes she's sooooooo beautiful, I know I'm so sick of hearing it!!!

This place is great. The workers are very nice. And my dog was well taken care of and happy.

My little dog did so well here while I was out of town. He was happy and not anxious or nervous at all, they took great care of him.

I made sure to write a review on every page of this because of how much I love and appreciate this daycare. The staff is amazing, my puppy leo loves them and it has helped so so much with our very hyper fur baby.

My fur baby and I love Woodcroft! This has been like a second home to him and I feel at ease when I have to drop him off for daycare or boarding because I know he is in good hands! All the staff are wonderful and it’s very clear they are all dog lovers! Would highly recommend this place.

My border collie and I had a great experience here at Woodcroft. I was nervous at first to take him to daycare because he can be a little shy and is usually never away from my partner and I. However Hannah made us both feel more comfortable by giving us a tour of the place before hand and also ensuring us that she does not take in too many dogs (which I liked very much). Inside was a very open and clean space and the dogs have easy access to an outside patio that my dog enjoyed a lot. After pick up, Hannah gave me an assessment of Huck's behavior and also advise on how to make him more comfortable the next time he comes. Although this is a new business I would recommend Woodcroft if you are looking for a doggie daycare.

This place is great. They are easy going and nice and my Dog loves going there!

This was our pup’s first daycare and boarding experience and she absolutely loved it! She was nervous at first, but Hannah did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable and by the time I left, my pup was running around having a blast with the other dogs. I also really appreciated getting little photo updates during her stay. Very thoughtful. I am so grateful that this business exists here in our community!

Woodcroft Doggy Day Care is the best place to take your pups in the entire county. Staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and prioritizes your dog's needs and health. Kenneling, daycare, and training are well-priced. The owner is charismatic and works perfectly with all kinds of personalities ("pooch"inalities?). I cannot recommend Woodcroft enough if you have to travel without your companion.

LOVE Woodcroft, great for stays, also a BIG shoutout for Hannah as dog trainer! We had a session recently, just a half an hour of practical pointers and advice and at a critical moment Hannah said “trust your dog.” Something clicked in both me and dog and frustrating problem is gone ever since! Magic!

My dog loves Woodcroft and so do I! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good staff to dog ratio, and they gently correct inappropriate behaviors. My dog plays so much better with others now.

I'm very impressed with this business. My uncle was in the hospital in feb for at least a month and a half. My cousin contacted Woodcroft and was able to get my uncle's dog (Elliott) in right away. Then unfortunately my uncle was flown to an out of the area hospital this last weekend for emergency care. My cousin asked me to contact Woodcroft for Elliott. When I called Hannah said no problem bring him on in. When I dropped Elliott off he was so happy to be there and Hannah was excited to see him as well. Hannah your awesome and your making a huge difference in people (and doggies) lives. Thanks again for being there.

I was out here on vacation from Chico and I absolutely love this place! I have a nervous adult dog (Scout) and a puppy (Toby - in the picture) both being a bit of work. They loved being here so much they didn't want to leave when it was time to leave. I always worry that my pups will be stuffed in a kennel and given limited interaction. Here they are allowed to free run and play and get enriching activities and I could absolutely see the difference in their attitude versus some places we've tried back home. The only thing I don't like is that I can't come more often. Hannah is amazing and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm back out here with my pups! Hands down the best doggy day care I've worked with.

I have purchased every service at this kennel. Across the board this doggy daycare has helped my high energy dog calm down. We started with training, the team there taught me basic training and really worked with my experience while assessing the needs and behavior of my boy. He's very high energy snd by the time we had finished 5 trainings he had all his basic training down. 7 commands later, from sit to leave it, we were ready to face the world! When my office had me go back into the office this place was the obvious choice. They knew Lucky and spent the time to access his behaviour with other dogs. He's now so friendly with other animals and has really grown. No matter how much I miss him their Instagram page posts stories daily to show how my baby is doing. And its just a text away to see if anything is happening. These people are very communicative and their online app makes it easy for me to roll over in the middle of the night and schedule an emergency board or day if something happens. Overnight boarding is great and there is so much space for the dogs to run around. Toys, other puppies and the reassurance that he is in a safe environment makes this place my only choice in Humboldt. Sometimes he comes back with all the slobber and I know that that means he had one of his best days with the friends he is making at Woodcroft Doggy Day Camp. Thank you to the great team and thank you for creating this service in our community!

He took great care of my 1 year old Pyrenees Odin over the weekend. He took pictures as seen below over his stay also. I recommend them 110%.

We had a trip planned to Montana post-thanksgiving, and our regular dog sitter cancelled due to illness. Jeffrey & family took great care of our frenchie for the week, followed her med schedule, and sent lots of updates with pics. Highly recommended and we will use them in the future

Arrived at Mr. Carlsons home to board my dog for a few days for Thanksgiving and immediately felt uneasy. My husband was standing by the gate because we were waiting for him to open it and when he let us in he acted angry asking my husband if he was pulling on the gate in which he replied no sir, I definitely was not touching your gate. That seemed to be resolved so I get my dog out to take her in and I ask if I could see where she will be staying. He immediately blocks the door and says no. Which I felt was weird and I said I’d feel more comfortable seeing where she will be staying. He said if you would have arrived early you could have! In a very stern voice. I arrived at 5:10 had to wait 15min before he let us in. Over the phone I asked when I should arrive and he said around 5 would be fine. He also stated that there were kids and dogs running around which was why I couldn’t come in. He keeps the dogs out to free roam his house. I said that was ok I would just feel comfortable if I could take a look. He said no again and I asked for my deposit back and he refused. When we spoke on the phone he made it sound like they would have their own area and be crated. Seems like a sketchy guy trying to make a quick buck. I do not recommend!

Another review said that Jeffery was angry for showing up early, he was also angry that we were early. Our instinct was to leave with our pets but we had a flight to catch. We returned after three days and called a half an hour away and when we arrived he would not bring our pets out since we were 1 hour early. Our pets were both sick with diarrea and internal bleeding and one had a cut on his face and a severe infection to his foot, I would not recommend this business to anyone if you love your pets.

We left our Jack Russel and elderly mixed breed with Carlson canine castle for 3 nights while on vacation. When we returned both of our pets had severe diarrhea and bleading internally. The Jack Russel had a puncture to his face, a broken tooth and a severe infection to his foot that we are still dealing with a month later. Jeffry stated that our Jack Russel was trying to claw his way through his metal fence and that is what caused all the damage to him ( why was he allowed to do this, No supervision ? ) This can all be corroberated by our vet. This facility should close it's doors immediately as it is unsafe to say the least. UPDATE: Very little if any of Jeffry's response is true. NO neither Ivan or Boo have anxiety as his photos indicate when dropped off. NO they did not have colitis, They BOTH had severe diarrhea and internal bleeding from a contamination of water, surface areas of the facility or something on the premises ( No it did not clear up in 2 days Jeffry it was more than a week ) YES our vet is retiring but fully licensed and sees some of his long time patrons. ( The first of three vet bills WAS sent and Jeffry only paid half of the first one and stated that he would pay the remainder and never did ) THE SPAM accusation is not true, I believe that if a business provides bad service that others should know about it. I believe this business is a danger to pets and would never trust Jeffry to take care of them again. ( my last negative review of a business was left over a year ago so NO I do not leave spam ) We arrived to drop our pets off a few minutes early and Jeffry was visably angry, we should not have left them at that point. As the other negative feedback shows Jeffry has an anger problem, is unreliable, does not watch pets properly, has an unclean facility and will say anything to shirk his responsibility. NEVER once did he call to ask how our pets were during their illness and injuries, does he care about our pets ? His facility is also on the Shasta County Sherrifs watch for that area. Anyone with a similar experience should report it to the Shasta County Sherrifs Dept.

Jeffrey and Jessica Carlson are excellent care providers. I feel comfortable leaving my two high energy terriers in their care. Jeffrey plays fetch with them! He takes the time to prepare their meals as my dogs have special diets. Jeffrey and Jessica are compassionate about dogs in their care. I highly recommend Canine Castle to care for your dogs.

I have boarded my dog Rafael (65lb German Shepherd) with them more times than I can count and I highly recommend them. They are his home away from home. As we pull up their driveway Rafael gets so excited! As soon as I've opened the door he's flying out and sniffing around or waiting by the front door to be let in, tail wagging, big smile on his face, no thoughts about saying bye to me. They've sent me pictures of him playing around with the other pups they board while I'm away. Never had a bad incident. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They took great care of our lab during our out of town trip. Even during this miserable heat spell! Will definitely be calling them again!

My dogs were happy pups with lots of room to roam while at the Castle. Jeff and his family provided great care and gave me updates as requested. We plan to be back.

The Carlsons are amazing! I moved to Redding for work and didn’t know a single person. I travel often and needed a dependable, safe place for my Sissy girl! They have exceeded my expectations. I have been a customer for over 2 years. I NEVER have to worry about my Sissy girl when I’m gone. I know she is safe and happy with them! What a blessing they have been ❤️

Leah is awesome. She has watched our furry children several times. She does an awesome job and we come home to healthy and happy pets. Recommend her highly!

Leah did a great job caring for my pets& home. She is mature and very approachable and easy to talk with. She communicated with us while we were away and i felt very confident my animals were being loved and care for. I definitely will use her services again.

Wonderful pet sitter! We keep going back again and again ❤️

Excellent and thoughtful and trustworthy care for all my critters!
