Pet Sitters in Tehachapi

MDC has become Cabernet’s home away from home. She loves going to see the staff and her play pups. I never thought I’d be a person who would pay for her dog to play but here we are!! She comes home tired from her day of play! Wonderful engaging staff, super clean facilities and great services ( grooming/training). Buy the package because you’ll be going back a bit!!

Brought my dog Apollo in for the 14 day board and train. I needed to fly out of town during the period so it worked out perfectly. I adopted Apollo from the shelter, and he had zero training and was very anxious. I had no idea where to start. Now he has a good base that I can continue to improve on. He can handle walks which before terrified him. He is more confident and responds well to commands while on a leash. Overall I think it was very worth it. The staff are all very kind and friendly.

Recommended to us for our Golden Doodle pup, we'll recommend as well! Easy in, text when done, awesome. They said he was great, jumpy as a puppy will be. Lol

We have used mountain dog club for both training and boarding for our rescue boy. Our dog was seen by 2 other trainers before taking him to mountain dog club. We used them as a last resort our dog was out of control was very aggressive towards certain family members. we tried mountain dog club because we didn’t want to just give up on him. They changed him so much that he is the most loving dog we could ask for he gets along with everyone now.Mountain dog club trainers and staff were amazing and very patient. They are the only place I will leave my dogs with when we go out of town. When we drop him off for boarding he practically sprints from the car to their front door which makes us feels amazing that our dog loves going there. I would highly recommended them.

Travelled from Texas to California with my three dogs on a road trip to visit family. Didn't feel comfortable leaving my dogs alone. Treated my pups to some tlc at this place for doing well during the long haul in a car. Kimberly was very helpful with my two pitbulls that get anxious when it comes to bath time and they were very patient.all three enjoyed the extra attention. Highly recommend this place

We love Mountain Dog Club. Our two dogs are comfortable here when we need to leave them so we can take a trip. The people are caring and attentive to their needs.

Our puppy Buddy is getting incredible training from our trainer Arianna! So worth it to have a calm and respectful canine! Mountain Dog Club RAWKS!!!

Our rescue pup is HIGH energy to say the least. We were running him in the yard and out on the trails around our house and he still was very energetic. We have been taking him to daycare for a little over a month now and he loves it. The interaction with other dogs is exactly what he needed he comes home tired and happy. He loves the staff and is super excited to get out of the car and into the door to go play!

Best Bang for your Bark! 🐶 My pup absolutely loves going to doggie daycare! We've used the boarding services several times. All great experiences! Staff is Amazing and Loving towards the pups. Definitely recommend Mountain Dog Club! …

Hands down, best dog daycare and boarding. I’ve sent my dog to Mountain Dog Club daycare for about 6 months now. I wouldn’t use anywhere else. The facility is top notch and the staff is fantastic. When I was pregnant and not sure what day I would need overnight boarding or how long my dog would stay, they were so flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate. Best yet, my dog is excited every time we pull in the parking lot.

Our dog came home very relaxed and happy! Obviously received great care and attention from the amazing staff. So thankful!

The Pet Lodge is a safe, clean, and wonderful place to board your dogs. The staff is very loving and caring to dogs. They took time to play and love on our dogs🐶🐶Our dogs were cared for very well. Prices are very reasonable as well. …

All the staff here are so kind & courteous! My doggies love going to visit!

This rating is simply for the booking process alone. My pets have yet to stay here. I just called to book my two dogs and whoever answered the phone was RUDE from the very start. It was like I was the biggest inconvenience to her day. Everything she said had an attitude. I’m hoping the actual boarding experience is better.

Can not express how fortunate we are to have found this place. The girls are all so real and we know they have our doggos best interest in mind. 1000% recommend.

Staff was super friendly and helpful! We stopped here on our way home from adopting a dog at the animal shelter, in need of supplies. The staff was great and patient helped us find the right harness for our dog. We will definitely continue to visit for our pet supplies.

Good place, they take great care of our cat, and we love the goody bags. They take care of her as well and personally as one of their own, and it's right by the vet. They give her times to walk around outside of her cage. However, the pickup times are difficult.

The staff is always kind and we are very comfortable leaving Frankie and Cooper. Very clean and attentive to our puppers needs. Highly recommend.

The people in the back that take care of our dog are Excellent!!!! But every time we go in to the facility the Women in front tell us something different!!! We dropped our dog off Saturday morning picked him up Monday morning at 9:15 am and they told us like they always do if you do an early pickup before 10:00 am on Monday you only pay for Saturday and Sunday which by the way the price has gone up again ok ok 👍🏻. So we pick our dog up at 9:15 am on Monday what do they do charge us 22.00 extra for a half day???? We asked and they said it’s a new policy. Well that’s not what you told us when we dropped him off!!! Be Honest!!!!

Great selection of pet supplies and goodies. Our husky is very particular about her toys and treats. We took her inside to scope out what she liked and she found several things that have since become her favorites. We will be using their lodge soon. I'm looking forward to seeing how her experience goes.

So gentle and sweet with my long hair Doixes. My boy has thick hair and needs a good cut for summer. They really work with me to make sure it’s the cut how I want and accents all his beautiful chest hair. I can’t recommend them enough!!

So I have a Belgian Malinois, he has high anxiety isn’t really social doesn’t like men the whole works haha And we’ve been having trouble finding the right groomer for him. Last place I took him to he started to pee in my car as soon as we would arrive. I have not seen him let anyone pet him faster than the girl at this groomer. She took her time introducing herself to him until he felt comfy enough with her then they kept me there a little bit so he’d feel safe. After that it was all in their hands. He did great with them they had no issues I was relived and one thing I really loved was when he started to stress out they stopped his grooming and called it a day. He was already bathed and dried at this point. They care about your furry family members not just the money. I will continue coming to them since my dog felt comfortable with them and so did I because of how he was treated. 🥰

This place is wonderful! Kimberly, the general manager, is so kind and you can tell she adores her job and the dogs on site. I am super impressed.

Ashley was AMAZING with our Polka Dot! She looked like a different doggie and pokey LOVES her! We will definitely be back and back again!!

Our 1st time and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. It is so nice to find a place that will take their time to be so careful and considerate. While loving you special pet as their own.

My favorite groomer yet! They took care of and did a great job with the 2 pugs and our thick coated babies, thank you so much!! 10/10 will go again! <3

Best groomers ever, my black lab has dry skin always. They k eq just how to take care of him. Appointments are punctional never had a problem. I highly recommend them.

Jennifer is Awesome! She is so great with my little poodle mix. Shanti comes out looking beautiful. I highly recommend her for any type of dog you have and you can feel comfortable leaving your dog in her care. Her prices are very reasonable as well.

Today was the first time we went there staff was all very nice. My dog was so happy when I got her. She looked beautiful. They did a great job 👏🏻 …

Super friendly staff. Organized and great pricing. They take great pride in workmanship and it shows. Will definitely be back!!

We used this pet sitting service for the first time and we are extremely happy with Gabriella. She treated our dog like her own. It’s a comfortable home environment with a play area inside and a fenced yard. Gabriella sent us a report daily with photos of our Sadie. I will use her again and I highly recommend Stallion Springs Pet Sitting. You won’t be disappointed, I promise you. Thank you Gabriella! We were relaxed and enjoyed our trip knowing Sadie was receiving the best possible care.

Gabriela has watched our two boys (German Shepherds) twice now and has done and amazing job both times. Our boys were very well taken care of and looked after during both trips we took over multiple weeks. Gabriela did a great job at keeping us informed and updated on how the boys were doing everyday, the app she uses is really easy to use and helpful to keep all info in the same place. We have a senior dog and a dog who requires special dietary care and both were very well taken care of, she was able to give them medication and supplements they need. Her response time was very fast and she did a great job of sending photos to keep us updated. We definitely suggest her to take care of your babies because she treats them exactly how you would want them to be treated. Very quality service, we are happy to be returning customers. Thanks again Gabriela!

Gabi has boarded our baby Ruby a couple of times. Ruby does have some separation anxiety, yet Ruby did very well for Gabi. Gabi gave Ruby lots of love, attention, & cuddles. We were very pleased. I would give Gabi a 10/10. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

My little cat was given excellent care while I was out of town on business. The caregiver was respectful of my home and property, followed all directions, and honored all requests we agreed upon. I will definitely use this service again! Bonus: my aloof furball actually warmed up to her!

Gabriela is extremely accommodating with our scheduling needs. It’s nice to have drop-in visit options so our pets can be home where they are most comfortable. She stays in good communication and gives regular updates with photos. We’ve got a full house with 3 dogs, 2 cats, and she even checks on our chickens and collects eggs! Highly recommend.

This was first separation for me and my dog of 9 years who was never socialized as we are old and mostly stay home. I was scared but had to get away. I had great references regarding Gabriela pet sitting and after 9 days away we were all happy on return.. she sent pictures and updates and I am so happy and so was my little dog Mona. We love you and will visit again. A great feeling knowing your dog is loved and cared for while you are gone. She is the BEST😇

I was so hesitant to try out this pet sitting service. I have always kenneled my dogs at other facilities. I wasn’t sure about leaving them home with a pet sitting service but I liked the idea of having my two dogs at home since the last time I had kenneled them they were begging me to not leave them there. For me anytime an animal responds that fearfully is a bad sign that something bad has happened to them so I began to shy away from kenneling but what other choices did I have? I happened to see a post on Facebook where someone had asked about pet sitting and kenneling services and I read all the raves and recommendations people were saying about Stallion Springs Pet Sitting so I began to message Gabriella. I was scared and reluctant to try her services out but hey you gotta start somewhere so I scheduled her in. Oh my God!!! Did I make the right decision or what! She came over and introduced herself to my dogs and they immediately fell in love with her! Not one bark or growl!! I was amazed then hired her. The first visit I was on edge. I was away in Vegas for Christmas with my family and wasn’t sure how things were going to work out. But she arrived on time and took care of my babies according to my instructions. No problem no worries! It began to hit me that I had made the best decision for myself and my dogs. We are spoiled now. I can’t see going anywhere else for care. Thank you so much Gabriella!! You are a godsend and you will always be welcomed in my home to take care of my babies as if they were your own!! ❤️

We have had the opportunity to have my fur baby Poppy stay with Gabriel and believe me I was nervous to leave her anywhere. Gabriela is very professionally trained and has been very special to Poppy. She gets excited to seeing her every time we need to leave . Highly recommend and such a relief to know how much Poppy is loved.

Gabriela is a very caring person who took care of our two dogs for a week in her home while we were on vacation. We received daily updates and pictures which allowed us to know our dogs were being well taken care of. We look forward to our next trip knowing we have such a caring and safe place for our dogs to vacation.

Gabriela at Stallion Springs Pet watched our fur babies while on vacation. She is amazing and our dogs absolutely loved her. I will use this service again and highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs. She went above and beyond and truly helped us to enjoy our vacation, as we were updated daily about our babies. More than 5 stars I would give this company!

Our fur baby loves to see her friends and Farmer Paul! We love seeing her tired when she comes home after a busy time playing with all of her furry friends at the Inn!!

I have used Country Bed and Biscuit Boarding a few times now. My dog Chewy loves Paul, he is such a great person. He really does love the animals he takes care of and he has a great personality. I will always use them for Chewy. I call it Chewy's boarding school. Chewy is always happy when we pick him up and he loves hanging out with Paul.

Love these guys! My puppies are always excited to go to doggy daycare! Also I love knowing I have a safe place to board my fur babies! Farmer Paul always makes us feel like part of the family

Our Bella doggie gets so excited to see Farmer Paul and be a part of the pack when we drop her off at Country Oaks Bed and Biscuit on our way out of town. There is such a positive difference in Bella when we pick her up from a weekend with Farmer Paul vs. picking her up from other kennels we have used in the past. It is evident to us that she has a very enjoyable stay every time. Farmer Paul is our dog whisperer. We wouldn't choose to leave her anywhere else and we are so thankful Country Oaks Bed and Biscuit is available for Bella.

Their is no better place for our dog. We absolutely love Paul and his staff. Our schnauzer is a bit wild and high strung but after just 1 day with Paul he's happier, calmer and very attentive. Paul is a dog wisperer.

My puppy smelled of urine and had dry feces on the bottom of his paws. He was no where in the yard when I arrived. No one was on the premises and when brought it up to John he said, " well if you say so". I never said we were here 24 /7.. Ummm its on your business card and web site as well as him assuring us that someone would always be supervising. Bigger issue why does my puppy smell of URINE AND HAS FECES ON HIM!!!

Great visit introducing our puppy to Farmer Paul. The operation is tidy and secure, cognizant of COVID safety, and all the dogs we saw looked happy and entertained. Looking forward to leaving our puppy with people we can trust!

I stopped to check the place out for potentially boarding my dog. The business-owner came out and began our conversation by explaining that I should board my dog at the next-door vet clinic since I wasn't going to be willing to pay the prices. He said that his clientele is mostly people in Hollywood/Beverly Hills. They pay $300/night and he goes and picks up their dogs in a van. I had a look at the place and I don't understand why anyone pays this amount for what they get here. It's a hot, dry, red-dirt yard outside with some tree branches and logs. Inside he has cages. There's no pool and nobody but the alarmingly unpleasant owner on hand to interact with the dogs. In short, not for me...

Glad I read the reviews before calling to schedule a visit. The nasty comments by the owners in response to low star reviews gives me an idea of how my dogs would have been treated. Nope, I'll go someplace else.

Mr Paul is a great man . remember you are going to him not the other way around . you have to listen to what he says not what you want to do. And a side note for those who are talking trash about the place they are animals they will be in a cage at some point . think you fools

I really want to acknowledge Hailey and entire team at F & F downtown. Our labradoodle Jack has stayed multiple times with these folks while we are out of town. Everyone is excellent and so professional which definitely puts my mind to rest! Alex, Barry everyone just the best. Aside from boarding , Jack is groomed here by Hailey! She is WONDERFUL ! Kind, patient ..treats Jack as if he were her own. Thanks again Hailey - we SO SO APPRECIATE YOU!!

I'm so glad I came across this place! I was a little nervous at first as this was our first time ever leaving our husky for a whole week. We weren't sure how she was going to react and we were afraid she was going to think we abandoned her or something. Well I was wrong! She had the best time and made new friends and she behaved so well! They sent me a picture of her every other day and would let me know how she's doing. When we picked her up it was almost like she never missed us! She came to say hi to us and wanted to go back inside to play with her new friends. Lol!! We will definitely bring her back next time we go to Southern Cali for vacation. Thank you Fur and Feathers for taking good care of Stormy! 💕

We've been taking our dog to Hailey for the past couple of years to get groomed, and we absolutely love her. The facility is always clean & the employees are always friendly. The prices are definetely reasonable. They also offer many other things like boarding and day care. Hailey always does such a great job with our baby Bandit. A lot of people refuse to work with huskys, but Hailey is always so sweet and patient with Bandit. I have told many people about this place, and I always refer people with pets to Hailey for grooming.

Had a last minute weekend trip pop up on a Friday morning, and having just relocated to Bakersfield from Michigan two months ago, knowing no one here yet to watch our dog Hank, we were in a bind. I called around and this location helped me right away with getting booked! My interaction with them on the phone immediately put me at ease. We’ve never had Hank boarded anywhere and I was very nervous dropping him off but the facility and staff were so great, it really eased my worries. He’s a little guy, so I get nervous leaving him anywhere but the staff let me know how well he played with the other small dogs. They do a great job grouping the dogs together based on temperament and size. I am so glad we have a trusted place in town to take Hank now, and I’ll be scheduling an appointment to get him groomed as well.

Fur and Feathers are nothing but AMAZING!!!! Just yesterday I took Oreo and Buttercup (owner/surrender) fur babies to get groomed. Their fur was so matted and tangled. They looked so miserable with all the fur. I dropped them off at 9:00am and picked them up at 1:00pm, when I saw them for the first time after their hair cuts and baths they look like totally different dogs, so happy and full of life!!!! Such an AWESOME transformation!!! I highly recommend Fur and Feathers !!!!! Their prices are very reasonable as well, not to mention the friendly and loving staff, they will treat your fur baby like family!!!

I have my two dogs in day care with Fur and Feathers and they love being there. I love the care they are given and the grooming is excellent. I have one high energy and one low energy dog and they both get what they want/need and come home tired, happy and ready for more. thank you guys for caring about my pets as much as I do.

Please support this wonderful place. The people treat our Emmie with such love and patience. Emmie was abused real bad before my husband found her. Emmie cant handle change and she has separation anxiety . But she loves this place. They have helped her to come out of her shell a bit. Emmie still has problems and we are trying to help her. She has alot of fear. But Fur and Feathers has really helped her to not be so afraid. She still has along way to go. But with the help of her favorite place to go to Fur and Feathers she maybe someday maybe will forget abt all the horrible things that was done to her. Thank you so much Fur and Feathers!!!!

We got a puppy just a few weeks before we had to go on vacation so we were freaking out thinking “Who is going to take care of her when we are gone?” So, we did some research, read the previous reviews, called them up made an appointment for a day care visit so our puppy could try out the place before we actually made the choice to use them for boarding... we all took a leap of faith and, we made THE RIGHT CHOICE! Kona, our puppy, was received with love and was cared for so well that we decided to leave her there for the whole week we were out on our vacation. They posted pictures on their Facebook page about her having fun with her new friends, they were on top of her the whole time and they gave her the medication she was prescribed for a stomach ache she had. When we picked her up, our puppy looked like she didn’t miss us at all, our puppy made new human friends and furry friends and she was so happy. Now, we take her to day care every day so that she can see her friends and play all day while we are at work and when we pick her up she’s tired and takes a nice nap in the car... the next day she knows her routine and she’s happy to go back to day care. The staff is great, they already know her and they are all so nice to her. They keep track of her progress, let us know how she did during the day, accommodate any needs we have and just over all take care of her like we would at home. We highly recommend this place because simply dogs don’t lie, Kona comes home happy every day!

The staff were very kind and professional. They were extremely approachable and understanding of multiple calls to check in. However, I will not be going back because I do not feel like they had the knowledge to care for my bird, and I'm sure my pet had a horrible time. My first concern was upon arrival; my bird was to stay in a loud room with bigger, louder birds. Also in the room was a loud (small, yappy) dog, who's pen area was immediately adjacent to my trembling pet bird. I asked if the dog was going to be there the whole time, and they said "We can move him if you'd like?" and I said yes please! I got a well-intentioned email from the staff about halfway through the stay, with a picture of my pet and a caption to indicate that he is loving it there and is doing just fine. The picture was of my bird at the top corner of the cage, feathers puffed, trying to keep distance from the phone/camera that was taking the picture from INSIDE the cage. An experienced person would know not to intrude on his space. I came back a few days later to pick up my bird, only to find that the SAME DOG is still RIGHT next to his cage, barking incessantly! I asked if the dog had been housed right here this whole time and he said yes, and this employee was not aware of the concern about the dog I shared with the employee I had spoken to when I dropped off my bird! I immediately scooped up my bird to console him and get him to stop shaking, and I left without another word, NEVER wanting to come back. It's safe to assume my bird was so scared for several days and nights, and this suspicion was confirmed when my bird took two days to come out of his cage and start behaving normally. They are nice, well-intentioned people who clearly love all pets, but my assessment is that they need to follow through with what they promise clients, and to learn about bird behavior/etiquette. I have attached the photo they sent me. As you can probably tell, the camera is inside his cage, he is keeping his distance, his cheek feathers are puffed up, and his head is dead-on facing the 'threat' (camera) ready to bite, instead of head to the side to curiously eyeball the camera. You can also see the dog I asked them to move in the background!

Just got home from vacation, using Fun Fur U for the first time. Kim and Kendall let us know what was happening at every visit. Dogs are very happy and house looks great. Very impressed, and we'll be using them from now on. Great service at a great price. Thanks ladies !!!

Kimberly has provided our family with expert care over the last 10 years! We have used her team for both short trips and long trips and never worry when we’re away from our pets. Our dog has special needs and anxiety and Kimberly is amazing with her. She creates a meal calendar with every detail regarding our pets’ preferences. She sends texts and pictures at every visit and leaves a log with times and notes. I recommend Kimberly for anyone! But especially those with pets who have special needs, medications or anxiety.

We want to share our experience with Fun Fur U-In home Pet Care. Kimberly has been taking of our pets for many years!! We had five babies, 2 dogs and 3 cats and she watched our cats when we went on a vacations. Also our dogs when we were gone all day. She is so caring and I loved it when she would put on funny/cute hats on our pets and send pictures. I loved it!!! I’m one of those pet parents that don’t leave their pets with ANYONE!!!! I know my animals are in GREAT hands and I’m very confident they will be taken care of. Sadly we lost our 5 babies over the last 2 years and she was there to help even when they were elderly and ill. Now we have a adopted cat that she babysits. We are grateful to have Kimberly ( Fun Fur U) in our lives. I know you will too. Gregg and Nancy McClellan

I have had the pleasure of having Kimberly take care of my cats while I was traveling. I can't say enough about her focus on details and the love she shares with them. Austin is a diabetic and she administers his insulin and monitors him for symptoms. She send pictures and provides written documents for your records. I would recommend her to everyone who is actively looking for a top notch professional pet sitter.

Until I met Kimberly and was introduced to her amazing company Fun Fur U, I was unable to find anyone that was trustworthy and reliable enough to care for my two precious kitties. Fun Fur U In Home Pet Care combines professionalism with compassionate care for each individual pet. I have the freedom and peace of mind to travel, knowing my cats are receiving excellent care. I will never use anyone else!

I've been utilizing Kimberly's service for years and she's always provided the most professional and conscientious care for my cats. She makes it a point to engage with my pets, and goes out of her way to make sure they're happy while I'm away. She also does a great job with simple house chores--watering plants, feeding the birds, etc.--that gives me extra peace of mind. She's an excellent resource for pet owners in the Antelope Valley!

Kimberly and her staff at FunFurU Petsitting are hands down the best pet sitting team within the Antelope Valley! I had a challenging work assigment which required me to travel to Oklahoma city nearly every other week for about a year and a half and I knew that even though the job sucked, my lovely fur kids Joey and Maddie were well cared for and loved while I was away. Kimberly sends daily photos when she visits where it was obvious my kitties were thouroughly enjoying the love and attention Kimberly provides, but also had the secondary effect of lifting my spirits while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough!

I found Kimberly to be a caring and professional individual when she took on the insulin injections for our "adopted" Yorkie. I needed to be out-of-state and my husband is not medically able to do these injections. Kimberly entered our home showing love and attention to all 3 of our dogs who loved having her around. She then performed the injection twice a day for 7 days and additionally spent time with my husband to give him a little attention as well. I truly appreciated her attention to detail, her commitment to quality of service and care, as well as her positive attitude. I will continue using her in the future as needed.

Kimberly has been taking care of my boys (shar peis) for years. KIMBERLY is simply the best. She goes out of her way to ensure they are well taken care of. I would recommend Fun Fur U for anyone that will not accept anything but the best for their pets. It takes stress off you and them when you have to go away. I am completely convinced that you can find no one else that will care for your pets like she does.

I don't know what I would do without Fun Fur U. I travel a lot and am always comfortable knowing they will care for my cats and dog as if they were their own. The short report and cute photo that comes with each visit makes me feel closer to home. I can say from personal experience that Kimberly and her team will do whatever is required to handle any, and I mean ANY situation that comes up.

Kennels are super nice! Dogs have access to temperature controlled indoors and outdoors at all times. There is also a large turn out area for dogs to run around. They are always clean. Joe treats your dogs like one of his own. He is attentive and loving. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else.

Joe is amazing. He loves dogs and REALLY understands them. My dog goes to 2nd Home twice a week for daycare, as well as staying overnight when I go out of town. She can't wait to get out of the car when we get there. She adores Joe and has a great time playing with other dogs. Joe even sends me texts, photos, and videos, so I know how she's doing. What a relief and a joy to have such a perfect place for my baby. It truly is her second home!

Joe is exceptional at taking care of our dogs. I think they get the best possible attention at a very affordable rate. My dogs are excited to go there and feel like they are going on vacation. Love this place and the care they give our dogs.

Joe really did provide a second home for our 2 doggies! They were both happy and calm after their visit. It was clear they had an enjoyable stay! We love our two little 4-legged buddies and we are so pleased to find someone who treats them like family just like we do! We couldn't be happier with the care Joe provided. He put our minds at ease & we are so grateful! I'm sure our buddies will be eagerly looking forward to their next visit with their new buddy, and we can peacefully travel knowing they are very well taken care of while we are out on our journeys. Just perfect!

Joe is awesome! Dogs came back happy and tired! We felt comfortable leaving our 3 dogs for four days and didn't worry. He even messaged us before we called to check in about the dogs!

We were delighted to find Second Home Boarding. Our rescue Golden Retriever, Sam, can become quite anxious at times and a little feisty towards other big male dogs. Joe’s knowledge of dog psychology and behavior ensures that Sam is calm and relaxed during his regular visits to the boarding kennels. As well as taking great care of Sam, Joe has also provided us with good advice about how to deal with Sam when he becomes anxious at home or while we are out walking. Joe’s great service ensures that we also always relax while Sam is at the kennel, knowing that he is very well cared for throughout his time with Second Home Boarding.

We were super pleased with the great care 2nd Home Dog Boarding provided for our dogs! We rented the “Guest House” for our three large dogs, which included a good sized air conditioned shed and a large, private, shaded yard. Joe is a dog whisperer, and all three of our pups took to him immediately. Joe sent us text message updates throughout their stay which provided us with peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy and well when we picked them up. We will definitely use 2nd Home again!

Joe is awesome! He took excellent care of our Ruby while we were away. He was very communicative and friendly. He is not just a "babysitter", he truly understands dogs and their behaviors. Ruby was well taken care of from the moment she arrived and we were worry-free on our trip. When we picked Ruby up, it was obvious that she was at ease and happily exhausted from playing and running around! We will definitely have Ruby stay at 2nd Home again and I'm sure she'll be excited to go back! Thank you, Joe!

Joe was fantastic. He provides great care for your dog. More importantly, he allows you to be comfortable while away knowing that your pup is safe and being taken care of. You wont be disappointed.

2nd Home best place to leave our doggos! Joe is very professional, friendly and energetic. He took very good care of our 2 boxers while we were away for 6 days. Joe followed up to let us kwow our doggos were doing just fine, that gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Odie & Pearl enjoyed getting the attention and care. I also liked the convenience of being a local business. Thank you very much Joe. We definetly recommend 2nd home.

They were great and a blessing.They took my dog at the very last minute.When no one else could or was available they made it possible I was very grateful I'm still grateful for them. Also they have Great options for where you want your dog in or out big or small space. I am so grateful. Thank you Jesus Christ for smith kennels, they took my pup last minute and gave me a good price for 4 days 🤗😇🙂.

Do not bring your dogs here. I hate to say it, because the owners seem nice, but this place is not well taken care of. The smell of urine is prominent upon entering and especially in the “office” which is more like a storage closet. What was most disturbing is that most of their kennels do not have an indoor section for the animals. They say there are “shade” trees, but our poor dog came back with burnt paws after only 1 day there. We had to apply aquaphor on her paw pads. They were so red and burned. Also, we arrived a day early to pick her up only to find that they did not place the blankets we brought for her in her kennel yet! She had been there for over 24 hours and they didn’t take a second to put her blankets in the kennel, nor did they give her any of the bully sticks we brought for her, which should have been 1 per day. Our dog was exhausted and did not have a positive demeanor like she usually does when we bring her back from a kennel stay. She also STUNK of urine and dirt. We had to bathe her immediately upon returning home. We only came here because our other kennel was all booked up. I was very disappointed from my experience with Smith Kennels and will not be bringing my animals back here.

I have used Smith Kennels several times since 2009. The owners live onsite. On a trip in early July we boarded are 3 dogs and a cat. We were worried about the heat and the dogs because of the 110 degree heat which lasted for several days. The dogs were comfortable and had the option of staying inside in the cool portion of the run or going outside. (There are different sized runs for different sized dogs and the kennels are in a tree covered area which provides ample shade.) We knew the cat was on his last leg and his conditioning was worsening and let the owners know that. Smith Kennels called us the day we were headed home and let us know he was not eating and did not want to get up. They stayed open late so we could pick him up and take him home when we arrived back in the area. There rates are very reasonable and they provide great services. I get the feeling this is not so much a business for them, it is their life.

Very nice, polite and professional people. They always make sure customers are happy. We recently dropped off an application to adopt a Miniature Schnauzer and are currently waiting to hear back.

Had to go into the hospital for a knee replacement and needed to kennel my new pup; I was a bit concerned because my pup has only been with me for about 10 months and has a bit of separation anxiety from being abandoned running loose in the desert. The Smiths took great care of my furball, she seemed to be just fine. My expected 4 day stay turned into over 2 weeks as the hospital sent me to a rehab hospital to get my new knee working some before sending me home. I highly recommend Smith Kennels if you need them

I loved it here! Guinness had a great time and the owners are really nice! They let me pick up my dog after hours and are reasonably priced! Thank you Smith kennels!

Clean, friendly, responsible, and great place in Lancaster to board your pets. Trees for shade and knowledge staff. Family business, ran with love, and willing to help animals in need.

THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF MY DOG. They put a 5lb maltese who had just been neutered in a concrete run with no blankets, no food no water and access to the outside portion of the run with chain link fencing with huge gaps. My poor dog vanished within a couple of hours and they were so disorganized with their paperwork I was not even notified until the next day when we went to pick up! For all I know they gave the dog to someone or it was killed on their property and they're covering it up. Either way my sweet little guy is dead I'm sure and their negligence caused it. DO NOT USE THEM!

It's a very nice place. It's been here for many years. The owners are nice they're in their 90s. It seems like they're always full so that is excellent they must be doing something right

Joyce did an amazing job grooming our Pomeranian 😀 …

Optimim care for your four-footed friend. They give personalized attention and keep charts on feeding schedules and care preferences of your pet. Their "dog wash" is also an exceptional operation. Your dog will be gorgeous when they are done with the bath. See below.

The best kennel in the Valley. It's expensive but probably not any more than anyone else. But the caveat to that, when I pick up my children, they don't smell like piss. Priceless.

Happy pups singing praises to their 4 day staycation. Scruff looking so cute after her awesome grooming. Please note the Mohawk!!!!!

Ken Neill Kennels is amazing! I have an unsocial Great Dane who we have never been comfortable enough to have boarded anywhere. Ken Neill is the only place I feel comfortable leaving our baby with. They are very nice, accommodating and confident when handling our dog, and are always understanding when we call to check in to see how our dane is doing! The boarding kennels and play area are very clean and large enough for our Dane to feel comfortable! KEN NEILL KENNELS IS THE BEST!!!!

Super friendly staff, nice kennels. Our dog was well taken care of and we really appreciate the service. Each animal has their own space, with walls and a roof. There are misters on warm days and the animals get person attention every day. Very happy with the staff, facility and service

Always take great care of my dogs for both boarding and grooming.

The employees are the nicest friendly people and the owner is very helpful. Prices are too low, they should charge more nowadays. It was the best experience ever for the dog loved going there and came back without any problems. There was not a single issue with scheduling appointments. Need to upgrade prices and take other options for payment, otherwise I give them all thanks for taking excellent care of my dog. Best place for bringing your pets.

My dog Athena loves Ken Neill's and would not stay anywhere else.

Best kennel for 🐕 I've found. Great care and concern. Delilah my dog goes there on a regular basis. It's a little out of our way, but sooo worth it 👌. A great kennel!!! …

First time boarding my dog, ever! This place felt secure and comfortable. Kennel is outdoor but has a "partial indoor" shelter for cold nights. The staff is knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. My dog came home happy.
