Pet Sitters in Sunrise Heights

My dog Charlie loves going to Pawsitive Pals. His butt wiggles and his tail wags on the car ride there! He can’t wait to see his friends. Lauren and her crew go out of their way to keep my dog entertained and exercised. Lauren is a fantastic trainer. She has helped Charlie with a couple issues. I have no doubt that they will take care of Charlie and keep him safe. I highly recommend Pawsitive Pals for your dog’s happiness!

If I could give 10 stars I would. My fur babies are full time at pawsitive pals, this is their home away from home. They are always excited to pay with friends and I know Lauren and her staff truly love and care for them. They even get groomed weekly! What a truly special heart beat in our community. We love it here 🐾 …

My dog Jambi (80 lb German Shepherd mix) is beginning his third year as a Pal Pack member at Paws'itive Pals. I'm so grateful for Lauren and the crew who give so much attention, care and love to creating a safe, engaging, enriching space for doggos to learn and play together. Jambi is a regular (3x/week) at Daytime Socialization and every day he is excited to go to "school" with his friends. He always comes home a good and tired boy, and I always trust he is well taken care of!

Lauren and her staff are wonderful with the dogs, and her staff are very well trained in her principles and methods of how to train & treat dogs. They use positive reinforcement techniques when training the dogs AND their owners. They also encourage the use of Gentle Leaders instead of typical collars or harnesses, as the leader does not allow for pulling. After my dog became used to the leader, she became a delight dog to walk rather than a constant battle to keep her from pulling. I highly recommend Lauren, her staff, and her business.

Always happy dogs! Excellent handlers, beautiful property! Lauren is 100% the best dog trainer in all of Northern California! Honest and very articulate with the dogs and her style of training. She understands dogs to a T. I couldn't ask for a better person to handle difficult behaviors she is able to predict what is going to happen before she even sees the dog in action. I will stand by her always

Lauren, Adam and the team at Pawsitive Pals are absolutely amazing! Their dedication to doing the best they can with every dog, In every position, with any issues, goes above and beyond! The love they show for the animals makes me trust them wholly with my Buster! They train with kindness and consistency. I appreciate all the advice and guidance I am given for raising my new Young pit mix. Every day I get tips on how to improve myself and become a better pet owner. I couldn’t ask for better than the Pawsitive Pals team!!

My lab loves Paws’itive Pals daytime socialization class. She gets to play with lots of other dogs and comes home tired every time. I love Lauren’s attitude to correcting dog behavior and that she checks on all her clients to find out specific problems or concerns and makes suggestions for correcting them.

Lauren is magic with dogs. We have used PAWS'itive Pals' services for training and boarding. In her training classes, Lauren taught us the skills we needed to handle our dogs at home and in the community. Her guidance was invaluable. We now have two dogs who can be obedient and happy in almost any scenario. For dogs that are boarded, Lauren posts daily pictures and videos to the business's FB page. Knowing our dogs are safe and having the time of their lives really does make it easier to leave. If you love your dogs and think it's important someone goes the extra mile for their well-being, this is the business for you. We highly recommend PAWS'itive Pals.

Lauren was so amazing with my dog that she went from a dog I was ready to re-home to the best dog I’ve ever had! She is amazing with all dogs. And the PalPack dog day camp is the best when your dog needs to run and play with the pack!

Lauren and her team are so passionate about what they do. Creating harmony between dogs and their owners in the best interest of the dog. Addressing and correcting behavior issues with a positive approach. 👍👍 …

Sarah at K9 Clubhouse deserves every 5-star review you see before you. Our dog Darwin is a sweet, nervous, easily overwhelmed gentle giant. As an owner, it's rare to find someone other than myself who understands my dog, but Sarah does. She is patient, understanding, and experienced enough to let Darwin come out of his shell in his own time, and on his own terms. My big goofy boy is always apprehensive in new situations (dogs, people, places, new food, anything really), but he loves making friends if you're patient enough to let him relax. In the three years I've had Darwin, this is the first boarding experience where I haven't worried about him. Between the daily pictures and video updates, to the smile on his face when he looks at Sarah, I know my dog is in the safe hands of a person who truly understands him.

I’ve been taking my chihuahua to Sarah for boarding for a year and a half now and I love how she gets to know each dog so they feel comfortable being away from home. I know my dog is well taken care of and makes herself right at home with the other dogs (after a few sniffs). Even going so far as to figuring out the doggie door to the house and making herself comfortable on the couch. Sarah’s overall knowledge of dogs is invaluable when caring for different breads, sizes and personalities at the same time.

Sarah & Preston were very friendly and good with the dogs. The kennels were clean & comfortable. Zoey came home happy & relaxed. I will definitely use K9 Clubhouse again.

I love K9 Clubhouse! I instantly felt connected to Sarah but more importantly so did my 1 yr old Aussie Jax. I was leaving on a 10 day trip and was extremely nervous about leaving him for the first time. I signed Jax up for boarding and training which apparently went really well based on his performance when he got home . Sarah sent me videos showing me his progress and how content and happy he was playing with the other dogs. Her care, love and commitment to all of the dogs was evident by how well they all got along. I was happy with the cleanliness of the kennels not to mention the comfort that she provided for Jax. I look forward to Jax spending more time with Sarah , improving his skills which gives me the confidence to take him out to public places knowing he will behave and listen to the commands. I highly recommend K9 Clubhouse!!

K9 Clubhouse is absolutely wonderful! Sarah treats the dogs in her care as if they are her very own! We received texts and photo updates. She went above and beyond for our black lab. We highly recommend her boarding and training services! We will definitely be boarding with K9 Clubhouse again!

I have really enjoyed having my baby Linus stay with Sarah and her Fantastic Team, Sarah is amazing and I can't even begin to say enough great things about how well she takes care of my baby. Sarah always sends pictures and updates of what Linus is doing and it makes me feel so good knowing my baby is in such good hands. Thank you very much Sarah and the K9 Clubhouse Team for everything you do for my baby, Linus always gets very excited to go hang out with you and all his friends :-) Sincerely, Stephanie

Our young, energetic kelpie loves staying here. He has stayed for both short and extended stays. With the large area to run and play with an herding ball along with the oversized runs and the brain teaser games, he always returns happy. Sarah has been wonderful with his needs and helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely continue to board our dog with k9 clubhouse.

My girls love to stay with Sarah! Not just anyone can take care of a dog with separation anxiety and another that is deaf and blind, but Sarah does with it with love and expertise. Having a smaller facility means they get extra attention and snuggles. Sarah gives them lots of exercise and treats and my dogs come home tired and happy. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an awesome place to board their dog.

K9 clubhouse is the only place we will board our dog. So many other boarding places are dirty and they don’t give the dogs enough exercise. We want to take our dog somewhere where she is loved and cared for. Sara is amazing with our lab mix, Winnie, and she has the best time with her. She is so worn out when she comes home that she will sleep the next two days!

Our boy Shiloh enjoyed his boarding experience at K9 Clubhouse. Sarah sent pictures and videos of him, which assured us that he was happy and thriving!

Stacey and her family have become our beloved dog’s 2nd family. He loves coming to their property so much! She has taken care of him on a regular basis since he was a puppy, which has made it possible for us to do the traveling we need to do to visit family out of the area, knowing we could leave our dog with her and feel confident about his well-being while we are away. She cares deeply for every dog, tunes into them and their individual personalities, and is very empathic with both people and dogs. She is well aware of their dynamic as a pack, and makes sure to manage every dog’s well-being while they are under her care. She pays attention, and is very caring and comforting. We consider her our dog’s Godmother!

Our dog instantly loved the resort, and we feel so comfortable leaving him there. Stacey has been very welcoming and flexible and is a great communicator, and our dog returns pleasantly tired from all the play time.

Our dog Bandit had a great stay at the Crooked Rooster Dog Resort! They sent me regular pictures of him and daily communication about how he was doing. When I picked him up he looked super happy and tired from playing with all the other dogs. Will definitely use their services again in the future!

The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is the ideal place for dogs. My dogs loved their time with Stacey. She is a real life dog whisperer. There is so much room for them to run around and so many friends to play with. Stacey treats every dog like they are family, even my lab puppy who ran through the garden and enjoyed barking at nothing what so ever before even the rooster woke up. It is such a great feeling to know that when we have to leave our dogs, they are not only safe and cared for, but blissfully happy. Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience. Stacey kept me updated with photos of my dog’s adventures. My dog had so much fun in their large fenced in yard, and came home so happy and tuckered out. Will definitely be back

Both my dogs and I always always have a great experience at this location. The hosts are very knowledgeable and kind. Stacey seems to know just what my puppers need for the day. Some times is lots of attention, too the freedom to just be a dog with all their friends that come. She also picks up on things for follow up with me in pick up times to ensure their best doggy life ever!

Our dog has been staying with Stacy for years – from being an energetic pup to a more mellow 9 year old. In all ages, he’s always been excited to come play, and always happily tired when we pick him up. He loves the large yard to play with other dogs in or to have quiet time investigating on his own. We trust Stacy and family with him when we’re on long trips and out of the country, knowing she’ll make good judgement calls if needed and give him nurturing TLC at his home-away-from-home.

We always take our dog to The Crooked Rooster whenever we are away. Stacey is kind and gentle we know our pup is well cared for. There is a very large fenced area for the dogs to run and play. Highly recommended for anyone needing care for their dog(s) while they are away, overnights or even just for the day!

Stacey’s is a great home environment for my GSD to stay at. A variety of other dogs to socialize with, plenty of room to roam around and play. Stacey is very nice and patient with Tule! I highly recommend Crooked Rooster Dog Resort. Bill P.

The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is our #1 doggie day and overnight care in the Grass Valley area. Our dog Rocket is always so excited when being boarded at The Crooked Rooster. We know he's well cared for and has plenty of space to run about while socializing with the other fury guests. Stacey and her family are true gems!

My dog likes staying here. I feel they are kind to animals. The issue I have and the reason we won't be coming back is that I travel frequently for work and my dates often change. They require a night deposit and you do not get that back should your travel plans change. I have offered a week in advance notice to cancel booking, but they insist on keeping my money. I have lost $200 or so and I'm just not willing to lose more money. We will be staying at All About Dogs in Penn Valley as they don't require a deposit.

I worked here as a teen. Years later when I needed to board my new puppy for 3 days I knew exactly where to go. Service was excellent. I even treated my girl to a spa day on her last day and couldn't be more satisfied. This is my go-to kennel for life.

My dogs have always been family members, so I've relied on trusted friends or relatives to care for them when I travel without them. Unusual circumstances led to putting our dog in a kennel for the first time. All indications are that Empire Kennels took excellent care of our beloved pooch.

Wonderful kennel...wonderful people. They have taken excellent care of my dogs and cats for 23 years now. I can't imagine leaving my dog any place else.

This was our pup's first time at a kennel but he LOVED it! Such nice staff who left me feeling very comfortable leaving our little guy there; he got a good mix of activity and looked almost disappointed when we picked him up. I'd definitely recommend Empire for your go-to dog/cat kennel.

Employees are super friendly. They Listened to my needs of my pets. Very informative. Kennels were clean and every animal seemed happy and well cared for. Day care was a great experience and cost friendly. They have over night care as well.

I have been using Empire Kennels for several years and they have been great! It is the only kennel that my dog has been happy to go to. Very friendly, great with the dogs, and reasonable rates. I highly recommend them. The other review appears to be a personal issue and bears no reflection on the business.

Clean facility, professional and very helpful staff. I love getting the video updates of my pup while I’m away! Only place in town I trust for overnight care aside from family. The grooming is great too :)

I have been a kennel tech my entire working life, after touring every kennel in the local vicinity this was the one and only that I feel comfortable with. Sure enough we had an amazing experience here, I highly recommend it for cats and dogs, wonderful staff, wonderful service, Happy pets!!!!!!!

This past year we boarded our dogs over 4th of July, incredible care. They’ve been unhappy in the past, this time came home happy and excited. Plan to be there for upcoming travel.

We have been using Becky's pet sitting for 8 years for our dog, "Doug". Doug always is ready to see Becky, and her dogs, and loves it there. When we pick him up he is happy, clean, and well cared for. He has a strict diet and medication and Becky has always managed this well. We find her price of $35 a day to be a bargain for the quality of care Doug receives.

I can not recommend Becky's Pet Sitting enough. Becky saved us in a pinch when we had to relocate our pup while on vacation at the very last minute, then was kind enough to respond to our check-ins promptly and with great pictures and video. Our dog was quite happy playing in Becky's backyard with Becky's own dog, and you can't beat her prices - quite affordable for the quality of care. If you're in the area and need some short-term boarding for your small pup, I really can't recommend Becky enough.

Our two dogs received excellent care with Becky even during a major snowstorm and power outage. She is calm and kind and was well prepared with a generator. We knew our pups were doing well under her care. We will definitely use her services again!

I would highly recommend Becky for all of your dog boarding needs. I feel so lucky to have found Becky! I have a 2 year old hound dog that can be too high energy for people to deal with, I kept expecting a phone call saying it wasn’t working out, but to my surprise Becky handles Arlo very well and seems to have a great relationship with him just like I do! It was an unexpected and added benefit that Becky also works on leash training with him (very important issue). I suddenly noticed he was getting better and better on the leash and I couldn’t believe it. My dog is always happy and tired when he comes home from Becky’s and he is ALWAYS excited to go back! I think he now thinks of Becky as a second mom and he loves her so much, you can tell by how excited he is to go to her house! I couldn’t imagine a better situation for us! There are a lot of options nowadays when it comes to dog boarding but Becky’s Dog Boarding is #1 in our family and I would encourage you to try it too! Becky is wonderful and I am so glad to have her in our lives!

Becky has been a lifesaver. We tried other local boarding options with less than desirable results. Our dog is always happy to see Becky and comes home well loved, clean and happy. We have been taking our dog to Becky for over two years, several times per year and she has always been available to take him even if short notice. We love Becky and would highly reccomend!

Thank goodness for Becky! I love her in home pet care service. Now we don’t have to worry about if our dogs are stressed out in a kennel boarding facility. We know our dogs are being cared for in a home setting and we can feel better about having to leave out of town. A previous review said she was rude but I believe they mistook her “to the point professionalism” the wrong way because she’s very nice. She’s just making sure all dogs are vaccinated and neutered for her safety as well as every pet that stays with her!

I’ve been taking my Australian Shepherd, Mattie, to Becky’s for 12 of her 14 years. The first two years I took Mattie to 2 other boarding facilities and was always apprehensive about her condition when I dropped her off, she was stressed out and reluctant to enter the facilities. When I would pick her up she was frequently was overly excited, lost weight and could take a couple of days to recover. I never had these problems with Becky. Mattie would always gladly trot beside her when I dropped her off and she would run to me when I picked her up looking happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Becky’s Pet Boarding. Another review mentioned Becky had been rude to the reviewer. Becky has always been very professional with me and great with my dog.

Magnolia, our 16 month old girl, was greatly taken care of!!! It was the first time for her(and us) and we were all a bit nervous….but Becky took absolutely excellent care of our girl!!! Definitely recommend and definitely will use Becky in the future!!! Awesome.

I had to go away for a few days and couldn't take and my old beagle with me. Becky responded to my email query very quickly, her rates are great, and she takes excellent care of the pets. She has an enclosed yard for them, and takes care to make sure they are properly vaccinated before accepting them into her care. Can't recommend her any higher!

Great thanks to Google for being able to find the best doggie day care imaginable. From day one, Becky's Pet Sitting has given me the piece of mind to drop the dogs off knowing they were in loving, caring hands. Becky has been caring for my dogs six days a week for over a month. When we turn off Brunswick onto her street the dogs start wagging their tails in anticipation! My highest recommendation!!!

I am heartbroken to write this review after what was, sadly, our most recent experience at The Kennels. My dog has stayed here multiple times before, with no complaints, and I've always loved the staff. However, this time was a completely different story. Upon picking up my dog, I was horrified to find that he was covered in urine. His entire legs were yellow, and his belly was soaked. When I asked what happened, I was told he had run through a puddle of urine. But this doesn't explain the extent of the mess. I was also informed that they had to bathe him mid-stay, but no explanation was given as to whether it was due to him being filthy with urine and feces. My dog has sensitive skin, so a call to me about the situation would have been appreciated, especially given the condition he was in. I was also told that he wasn't eating, which I've heard happens occasionally, but instead of calling me for advice, they decided to double-feed him at night. I can't help but wonder, were they even feeding him properly in the morning. And to top it off, I was told that he had been placed in the wrong kennel at first, and he was sleeping on a wooden crate. This raises further concerns about the level of care he received. When I called to voice my concerns, I was surprised to learn that the ownership had changed and that the new owner was not available due to his age. This left me feeling even more unsettled about the lack of accountability and care. Given the treatment my dog received this time, I will never return to The Kennels. To be honest, I feel that what happened to him could be described as neglectful, and I truly believe it's a form of dog abuse. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve the care they provide to future pets. Response to owners' message: Thank you for your response, but I want to clarify that the point of my message was not to argue over who’s in charge, but simply to reference who I knew from our previous stay. That said, I feel like there are a lot of excuses being made here. First, it wasn’t raining while we were gone, so I don’t understand why my dog was wet. Of course, I understand you need to take him outside for bathroom breaks, but I don’t think he should have been left outside for extended periods. Do your outdoor kennels hold water, or was there another reason for him to be wet? As for his feeding, the schedule was not normal. He was only fed at night, and he received a double portion, which upset his stomach. This wasn’t the routine we discussed, and it caused an issue. Lastly, I don’t need to bring him back for another bath. I had to bathe him again when we got home because he was soaked in urine, not because he was dirty. I just wanted to address these points and make sure we’re on the same page. Thank you.

We’ve taken our Charlie to the Kennels for years and have always been happy with how well she’s taken care of. Cindi and the rest of the staff are so good to her and give her lots of love and attention.

I left my dogs for 13 days at The Kennels. One of my dogs is a Pit mix. They did not let his scary demeanor keep them from making friends with him. They gave him lots of love and excellent care.

CoCo and I were pleased with her recent stay and plan to use The Kennels for a future stay. Cindy (who has been there and is familiar with our prior pets) was very helpful in setting us up with a daytime visit prior to her longer stay, and made CoCo feel very welcome. Keep up the good work!

We take our 14 year old cockapoo “Hilo” to The Kennels, we have been using their services for 6 years now. We highly recommend them. The visits are safe, clean and we know our loved one is given the best of compassion and kindness. If he could talk he would be very appreciative of The Kennels staff and accommodations as my husband and I are.

Our pup has been so happy here! They offer some cute features like individual outdoor patios for the dogs, temp-controlled rooms, and individual playtime. Will definitely use them again!

Community-oriented, family-run business that will care for your pets like their own! No one better!

Great groomer. My little pooch never comes back stressed as at other groomers, and her yorkie face looks perfect.

We've been bringing our two dogs there since they were puppies and they treated them like family until the very end. The last of the two just passed at 13, but they did everything they could to make his experience comfortable and welcoming, despite the burdens and obligations that came with his old age. They have been wonderful for our family.

I’m seeing a trend of people saying that their pets smelled really bad when they picked them up from care. This was indeed our case when we recently picked our dog up. In addition to smelling like pee, she had a mark on her chest signaling she had been perhaps sleeping on the floor? Covid restrictions prevent us from verifying any of the conditions where the dogs sleep; at the moment though, all signs point towards inadequate and substandard care. Quite disappointing.

We had an awesome experience during Intro to Agility classes with Jenni and Sandy. Very knowledgeable and most important, patient trainers. Spacious training facility with all the necessary equipment for high level professional training. It was fun to see all the different types of dogs make good progress in the class. Foxy loved participating and actually whined every time we pulled into the parking lot of the training center. A sure sign he likes All About Dogs! Highly recommended and we're looking forward to the next level agility class.

Had our first agility session with All About Dogs! We run a small dog obedience program and our client had their dog Zuzu booked with them for agility. We had a blast, and the instructors were very informative and patient. We hope to bring some more dogs to them for agility soon! Highly recommend!

Just wanted to share my wonderful, life changing experience with Jenni from All About Dogs! I own a Pomeranian puppy less than a year old. Kimchee, my Pomeranian, is a cute, intelligent, feisty, challenging yapper of a dog. I was overwhelmed, wit’s end, and completely challenged by my Kimchee. Jenni had done an individualized, extensive training with her and I. She has come back to me a well-behaved, positive reinforced, responsive Kimchee! The change in Kimchee is unparalleled, with what, I was dealing with when I had decided to go with All About Dogs. I’ve gotten my sanity back and a wonderful companion due to Jenni’s expertise. I travel for work once a week and will be boarding her, as well, when I leave out of town. They have a great facility and faculty to house Kimchee while I’m away. The peace of mind, I will have to do so, will be invaluable when I travel. I can’t thank Jenni enough! ❤️

I absolutely love all about dogs indoor training facility! It is a very clean and comfortable environment everytime we go into to train. Jenni and sandy have been a wealth of knowledge for helping me get my puppy trained. I have big plans for my dog in performance sports, I feel confident All About Dogs training will get us where we are going! Thanks!

All About Dogs Training and why I recommend them. Three ½ years ago I brought home an adorable Australian Shepard puppy. This was the first time I raised a dog from a puppy, and the first time I purchased a puppy from a breeder. Clark is the name of our Australian Shepard. The Internet said: Active, good family dog, smart, athletic, mid-size, and around 40-65 pounds for the males. I thought this would be a good match for me moving into my 60’s and wanting to stay active. I have been an active individual since childhood and into my adult years as well. I played fast pitch softball from 9 years of age to 21 years of age, was an all-star catcher, played tennis in high school, and in city leagues as an adult. I also-ran marathons, skied, kayaked. I own my own business, but never have I been so challenged than training this active, defiant, smart, Aussie named Clark! Clark was a challenge. I would go to the park with Clark and try to wear him out. When it was time to go home he would not let me leash him up; it was a battle and would leave me bleeding on my arm from his biting me in the struggle to catch and leash him up. I would cry while walking home. Though I had Clark in puppy classes, they were not working at all! Then a miracle happened! A client of mine introduced me to Jenni & Sandy from All About Dogs Training Facility. Jenni assessed Clark’s behavior with me in our home. When the assessment was completed Jenni told me that Clark needed two weeks of boot camp at her facility. I cried as they left together, yet I got Clark back in a week, and since that day my Clark has been well behaved, and well loved by all! Because Clark is an active dog they suggested we start agility when he was a year old, and now we compete in agility with North American Dog Agility Council (NADAC). Jenni and Sandy can train any breed or size of dog, but most of all they can train you! I highly recommend All About Dogs Training Facility. Margie & Clark Carr

There is no better training facility in the Grass Valley area! Having an indoor facility makes it easy to train year round and be nice and comfortable and safe. You and your furry friend are in a controlled environment that allows you to relax and enjoy the training process. Sandy and Jenni took my ill-mannered Boxer boy and trained him to be the good boy we know he is! I never in a million years thought I could leave my boy in a down-stay, walk away and have other dogs walk past him, and not move out of the stay, but he CAN! You will not be disappointed with the training and expertise that Jenni and Sandy bring!

I have had many best training moments working with Sandy and Jenny at All About Dogs Training Center. They are experienced, kind trainers that always strive to make things fun for both owner and dog. My dogs are big Rhodesian Ridgebacks that work as my mobility service partners so they must be well behaved at all times. It’s not all work and no play though, Sandy and Jenny help keep my girls happy by offering many exciting alternatives to basic obedience. My young dog loves Agility and Rally Obedience classes too. I highly recommend All About Dogs for all phases and kinds of training. It’s so much fun! And my dogs are such great companions because of our training.

I've only taken one class in the series so far but both my pup and I can't wait to go back! The facility was fantastic! Clean, organized and my puppy loved the agility course. The dog trainers running the class were so positive, encouraging and attentive. Such a pleasure to work with and looking forward to continuing on with all levels of the agility training with them.

We took our dog to Jenni for a two week boarding and training. We could not believe what a difference it made. I'm sure we needed the training more than the dog but that's another story. We then followed up with taking her to the intermediate training class and Jenni & Sandy are just so amazing. Can't say enough about them. The facility is so nice and indoors which made it comfortable. We just got a new puppy so we will be signing up once again.

Fabulous place & trainers! Jenni & Sandy are great to work with & very knowledgeable about training for competition for Rally, Obedience or Agility. Or just a fun time for you & your dog & if just want a bonded companion. I love the class & Sandy & Jenni- you couldn’t ask for a better class or a more enjoyable time with your dog. I highly recommend All About Dogs

John Paul is an authentic human who is so sweet and loving to animals! My pup is a bit nervous and has a gentle soul, JP was nurturing and she quickly warmed up! I will definitely be bringing her back to Critter Stay Care! Thanks JP 💕🐾 …

I hired Critter Stay Care to help put with my 4 month old puppy. John Paul has been coming over twice a week to let out and play with her when I have long days at work. He is warm and affectionate with her and I feel she is safe in his care. Now that she is older he has been taking her to the park and then generously bringing her to my office in town. He's been super flexible and accommodating of my changing needs.

My experience with Critter Stay Care has been a wonderful one. I'm grateful to John & his partner Aggie for being such warm hearted and caring people who take really great care of my pup Zia while she stays with them. It's obvious Zia enjoys her time at their weekly doggie daycare; she's always so excited when I bring her. I'd highly recommend them.💜

We use Critter Stay Care for both boarding and weekly walks, and couldn’t be happier! We boarded our dogs for two weeks over the holidays and JP took such incredible care of them. He sent us updates, photos and videos, and it was such a relief to know that they were having a great time and being so well looked after. JP is great to work with, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a ton of expertise and passion for working with dogs. We’re so relieved that we found CSC and JP and can’t recommend him highly enough!

SO grateful to have found Critter Stay Care. My dog loves going to the doggy day care. He has so many new friends, gets to play all day (tired dogs, yay!)- and I know he is always safe and well cared for.

John from Critter Stay Care watched our little dog, Lucy, on Thanksgiving. We had never had a stranger come to our house to care for her. I let John know I was apprehensive about that. He spent time with me on the phone then came for a visit to meet us and learn Lucy’s routine. By Thanksgiving I felt very comfortable having John come in and care for Lucy. Everything went well and he even sent me a little video so I could see that all was well. I will definitely use John’s services again!

The best thing about Critter Stay Care is that dogs can be dogs! My pooch has so much fun here.

They’re super responsive, good communicators, and my dog came back so happy. Will be coming here again!!

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!

If my pup is happy, then I am happy. What a great find! Kirsten and Mike took such wonderful care of my 10 year old pup (Monkey). This was the first time Monkey stayed at the Wolf Road Pet Retreat and will not be the last. Kirsten was so easy to work with when scheduling Monkey's stay. My vacation plans were up in the air so I ended up changing around dates - but Kirsten was so accommodating. The dogs are allowed to hang on the couch, sleep in their bed (if pups wanted to) and run around the house as if it was theirs. Kirsten and Mike treat all visiting dogs as if they are their own. Extremely happy with Wolf Road Pet Retreat and highly recommend.

Highly recommend! I am a petsitter and really needed a petsitter while I had to take a trip out of the country and this was a perfect fit. My 2 small dogs had so much fun with the other dogs in their care! The dogs are in the home with them and they have access to an outdoor patio area and play yard. No cages or kennels. Kristen was amazing, she sent me photos and videos of my pups every day. It was hard to go out of town because I would miss them so much them, but I felt very good about their care and knew they were safe, getting exercise and being loved on. Thanks again to Kristen and her husband!

We have used Wolf Mountain Pet Retreat for boarding and grooming our 3 dogs. We couldn’t be happier with Kirsten and Mike and the amazing care they provided for our dogs. They kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages so we always knew our fur babies were happy and safe. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, and compassionate pet sitter, we highly recommend them and will be booking again in the future.

We boarded our dog Nugget at Wolf Rd Pet Retreat while on vacation. Kirsten and Mike opened up their home and welcomed Nugget like he was their own. He was well cared for and we received daily photo and video updates of him interacting with his new furry friends. Also, the pricing was very reasonable. Thank you for taking such good care of him. So glad we discovered Wolf Rd Pet Retreat

Great pet sitter. They welcome the animals into their home like they’re their own. They also pay keen attention to the interactions of the animals with one another making sure all are doing well and no Alpha dominates the others. I was also particularly impressed with how clean everything was. This is impressive given the nature of this work and demonstrates how they care for the animals. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Kirsten and Mike do an excellent job. Got pictures and updates daily for a 13 day stay. Our dog rarely is boarded and he had a good time. Would highly recommend them and Porter(the dog) will be back. Great place

We were in town for a couple days, and needed care for our dog Kaia on two separate occasions. Kirsten was super communicative, easygoing, and offered wonderful care for our dog. Each day Kaia came back very happy :), and we had total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.

Kirsten pet sit our dog and two cats for a week while we were on vacation. From beginning to end, it was a smooth experience and our fur babies were content and happy when we returned. Kirsten was also kind enough to water our garden that we had just planted and our flowers while we were away. She is reliable and responsible and kept us updated with texts and photos so that we knew our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend Wolf Road Pet Retreat for your pet sitting or dog boarding needs!

Kirsten was able to help me out in a pinch. She stepped in gracefully, did a fabulous job and my pets seemed to really love her. I came back home to a stress-free home and got pictures every morning of my "kids" 😘 …

We were going out of town for 3 nights and Wolf Road Retreat was close by and thought we would give a try for our Chanel(cat). I'm very picky and was nervous but Kristin shared photos and videos throughout the day and was in contact stating all was OK. Chanel seemed very happy which of course we were (are) happy. Will use again. M&A Bushee

I’ve brought my cat here several times for claw trimming and it’s my favorite place. Recommend! Fast, friendly, good price.

I am probably like most pet parents. We want the best we can for our much loved animals. Well, here you go. I have taken my cat to two other groomers in the area of this one. None of them, NONE, come close, not a little close to this establishment.These people are professionals! I bring my cat here (three times now) for her lion cut and bath. I would travel further if I had to, but I don't. Take it from me, because it only the best for my cats, and this is the place to go.....Pete

Always very good service. I’ve been taking my dog’s here for about 8 years. We have mini dachshund’s who have back issues. The staff is always very gentle with our dogs.

We just found this treat of a place to get our pups nails cut. Super fast. Very inexpensive. Highly recommend !!! The owner was very nice. We wished we knew it was for four legged family members sooner. Check em out!

I went there was a sign indicating personnel would return by 2:10 at 2:25, I left. Very disappointed. Think I'll find someplace else that is more responsible.

Love this place, best in town. Kelli and jessi are the best in the biz. I bring all 6 of my Pitt bulls in for baths and nail clips. I don’t know how they do it, but they do. Would highly recommend!!!

Amazing staff! My dog is a very nervous dog when it comes to grooming and he was actually calm when I picked him up.

This place is great! The woman working put my huge dog in the tub for me. I'll definitely be coming back to wash him again!!

They did an awesome job on our Newfoundland. She is 165 lbs of energy and they had her smelling and looking great !

It was a great experience for my Golden Doodle Gracie Mae she used to get anxiety at the groomer but she has been here a couple times and I will continue to bring her back .The women are friendly and listen to how you want your dog cut. They do a beautiful job also.
