Independent, hard working (from home) and caring. Reliable sitter for your pets.
Eric arrived to the house on time, sent updates proactively and left the house exactly as we left it. He even put the sheets and towels in the laundry without being asked before he left. Would be happy to have him sit for us again!

Travel-loving retiree looking for short stays to care for your home and pets!
Jan is amazing! We planned our trip quite far in advance and Jan confirmed with us and kept us informed of her travel plans. She came a day early to meet our pup, Poppy, and so we could walk her through the house and get to know her a bit. She was such a pleasure to meet and it was very apparent that she loves animals. Poppy absolutely loved her, and we loved all the updates Jan sent us! Plus photos! Jan left our house in immaculate condition and even washed and folded the sheets! She left us a thank you note and some treats. If you want the best of the best for your pet and home, the best is definitely Jan!

Couldn’t give higher praise for Jose. Very reliable, self-sufficient, kind communication. Felt confident in him from beginning to end. And he left my home as clean and tidy as it can be. Thank you so much, Jose!! You are a golden member of this zeewoi community

Vivacious digital nomad traveling the world with my animal-loving daughter, Hope
Malia and Hope were wonderful. Foxy is very shy but they gained her trust very quickly. We left Friday night and they sent me a video of her rubbing up against them the next morning. They were able to pet her and pick her up and she was very happy! They sent photos on a regular basis. They also watered our plants and brought in our mail. Our house was immaculate when they left. They were a real pleasure and we look forward to having them back.

Trustworthy. Level-headed. Decades of pet-mothering & home-owning experience.
What wonderful luck it was to get Jen’s quick response to my last minute request for help with my old doggie. She was a great communicator, asked all the right questions, and shared fun tidbits and pics while I was gone! Kind and caring - and neat as a pin. Thank you, thank you!!!

You deserve to know that your fur-babes are safe and loved while you're away
Derek stayed at our house for 3 weeks and watched our kitties. He was AMAZING! Plenty of photos and videos on the regular. When we came home our house was sparkling clean - he even did the laundry! We would gladly welcome him back to our house for another sit, and you should too.

Retired professional gardeners available to care for your home, garden & pets.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Responsible, experienced, & mature (40 yo) couple ready to care for your pets!
We had agreed to this pet sit months prior to their arrival. It was a 6 week stay. Jenny and Drew arrived less than 12 hours prior to my departure. I picked them up at the airport and took them to lunch at a seaside restaurant. I was so surprised that Jenny had not even read the "home owners manual" that this website provides. I sent the information a good month prior to their arrival. They were not prepared in my opinion or took the house sit very seriously. Nevertheless I had confidence in their abilities after spending time with them. When we arrived at the home I introduced them to my 2 doggies and got them acquainted with the home and area.. Upon my return (6 weeks later) there was missing food in the freezer, missing towels, and some broken items. The dogs seemed very happy and content and Jenny would let me know from time to time that the pets were fine. All in all they were good but I was disappointed in their lack of preparedness and the missing and broken items. I spoke to Jenny prior to writing this review in order to understand what took place while I was away. I was not completely satisfied with her replies. Most importantly my home and dogs were safe and sound. So I'm satisfied.

Ready to explore new locations and meet new friends (fur or human)!
Renee was amazing! I have nothing but positive things to say about her. She absolutely took perfect care of our dogs! She brought her fun dog Remi and watched my three dogs. I’m sure it was crazy for her but she handled it like a pro! She left my house very tidy! Sent us tons of pictures! I would highly recommend her! Thank you Renee we will absolutely have you again!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!

Jamie took exemplary care of our two dogs and they were very happy when we picked them up.
Great family friendly place to let you dog have a little vacation.
Barbara and Don are awesome! They treat Ryder like Family. I feel very good about keeping my fur baby with them! Safe and clean.
Long time client for our 2 doggies. They are always excited to be there, and that says a lot! Best of care given.
Last minute trip had to place our 16 week old puppy for 8 days. They made room and took great care of her. When we picked her up she was obviously a happy puppy. Don and Barbara are caring dog loving people and always keep your dogs best interests in mind. Thanks!!
Barbara always takes good care of our pup, and he loves coming here. I know that if we are in need of a place to board him, O'Brien is our first choice.
Barb and Don run a great facility and take very good care of your pets. I used O’Brien boarding when I relocated to California, and my dog/2 cats were well looked after during their long-term (4 weeks) stay. I will use them again - my border collie/lab mix was really happy there.
I’ve taken two of my Golden Retrievers to Don over the years and I cannot recommend this training facility enough! My dogs came back healthy, happy and with excellent manners, allowing them to become true family members in our household. While good natured and loving dogs, each of my pups was without impulse control and made simply walking them on a leash a serious chore. It’s beyond wonderful that in each of my training experiences with Don my dogs came back well behaved, listened to commands, didn’t yank my arms out of my sockets, stopped jumping on people and just basically became the dogs they were meant to be... loving family dogs with perfect manners! Thank you!!
They are the best! My 6 month old lab was very well taken care of. It’s nice to go on vacation knowing you baby is loved while you are away. Will definitely be going back.
We were so happy to have found the Obriens. They take good care of our Whippet and he loves getting to run around the fenced in exercise yard. The kennel is very nice and very clean. I would highly recommend the Obriens.
So disappointed, they refused to board our dog, not because they have ever even seen her. Not because she is bad in any way. Why? Because she is a Great Dane!!!! Thats right! It was assumed she would be to much to deal with because she a Great Dane. They are breedist! It took a week and an half of waiting for a call back for nothing. I am just discussed.
Genuine people who love and respect animals. Trustworthy and more affordable than all those city kennels! And they actually let the dogs out to run around on real grass!
My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭
I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!
My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.
I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾
Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.
I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!
We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!
First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.
Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!
They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!
Camp bow wow is the absolute best. We have been boarding our dog Winston here for extended stays for about 2 years… and every visit I feel more comfortable with the care I know he will receive. The staff is always so excited to see him when he checks in and share the cutest stories about his behavior during his stay. The facility is clean, they accommodate special feeding requests, the dogs are all so friendly, and you can even check in on your pup via the app cams. It can be so hard leaving your pup for trips but there are no better hands to leave them in than Camp Bow Wow Elk Grove!
We love Camp Bow Wow for quality doggie daycare and playtime. The staff are all amazing and clearly love working with the dogs. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The facility is always clean and smells great, and Mia has a fun day playing with her friends. I recommend Camp Bow Wow Elk Grove to all my friends!
Camp Bow Wow is truly exceptional! The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which immediately gives me peace of mind. But what really sets Camp Bow Wow apart is the amazing staff. They are always friendly, cheerful, and eager to welcome my dog. It's clear they care deeply, as they not only know my dog by name but also share fun stories about his day when I pick him up. My dog absolutely loves the water hose, and it’s evident he has a great time every visit. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow to anyone in need of daily or overnight care for their furry friend!
Camp Bow Wow Elk Grove is simply exceptional! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this facility is dedicated to providing top-notch care for our furry friends. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely loves animals. They took the time to understand our dog's unique needs and preferences, ensuring he felt comfortable and loved. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with fantastic play areas that keep dogs entertained and engaged. We were particularly impressed with the live webcams, which allowed us to check in on our pup anytime we wanted, providing peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed, which is a testament to the excellent care he received. The grooming services were also outstanding, leaving our dog looking and smelling great. Camp Bow Wow Elk Grove goes above and beyond in every aspect. We couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend it to any pet owner looking for a reliable, loving, and fun place for their dog. This place truly deserves a 10 out of 10!
After my third visit to this facility I am convinced that this is the place for my pup! The staff has been nothing but amazing and I feel my pup is well cared for and safe when in their care. As a graduate student at CSUS, I am constantly stressed for time. This place, and these folks provide my family and I a reliable, safe, and much needed space as we navigate the complexities of modern US life. Check them out!
Had a great experience with Camp Bow Wow. Everyone kind and went out of their way to make my rescue dog feel secure and happy.
I scheduled my high energy 1.5 year old Labrador pup, MAC, for his first interview this past Monday and I have to say that my husband and I had a great experience with the staff that day. From check in to check out, the staff was friendly. Miko (spelling?) was the one who greeted us when we checked in, he took Mac for his assessment and then came out to let us know our boy fit right in and he was welcome to stay for the day. We watched the live cams throughout the day and saw our pup running around and playing with a ton of other dogs, which is what we wanted. It's great to be able to leave him somewhere to run off his pup energy in a safe environment. When I picked Mac up, another male staff member greeted me and let me know Mac did great. I know it's only been one day but we definitely will be using their daycare services soon, possibly even boarding and grooming. Thank you Camp Bow Wow EG!
We had a great experience at Elkgrove Bow wow. Our pup stayed 10 days. They gave our dog her medication and gave her a bath. I called midway into our trip to check in and they were very descriptive to put me at ease. Love Camp Bow Wow.First pup started coming here in 2015 and we have continued with our new family member 2023. Highly recommend them.
The staff is great. They are truly pet people, and our dogs love there. We have recommended them to friends, who are now using them for boarding.
Great service, my pup loves every visit he makes at the camp. The employees there are just amazing and very responsible. Thank you for all the love you guys give to IO. He looks forward to his every visit.
They are the nicest people and great with my babies. My concern is always how will my little ones be treated and they were able to assuage my concern. Definitely coming back!!! If you need some one for the holidays Karla's Pet Care is the best option.
Karla’s Pet Care does such a fantastic job! Our pets were frankly a nightmare while we were gone, the cat refused the litter box, the dog kept getting in the pantry and gave herself diarrhea. On top of that we had to keep changing our schedule and they rolled with all of it. They did a great job of keeping us informed while not stressing me out about my pets while I was on vacation. 10/10 highly recommend!
I loved this!! I'm always nervous about people being in my house when I'm not there but after the pre-visit my nerves were put to ease. Karla and Kayla are so nice and professional. Kayla is the one that took care of my fur babies when I was gone. She kept me updated with detailed daily check ins and pictures of them. I loved it and it made me feel so good that they were in great care. On top of all that she brought in my mail and took my garbage cans to the curb! It made a HUGE difference coming home late from a long trip and and not having to clean up cat litter, clean cat barf, or take the cans out etc. Thank you ladies for everything!!!
Karla, We would like to thank you and your staff for the years that you so graciously took care of our cat, Ziggy. You were there for him always and us as well, and because of that, you also made our trips so much easier. We would highly recommend Karla's for your pet sitting needs. Well worth it. I would give her sitting service a 100%.
Karla was wonderful! From the pre-visit to scheduling changes and taking great care of our pets while we were away. Even helped bring in the trash bins and water some plants. All with daily updates and pictures! Great service.
Karla is fantastic! Could not have left my fur baby in more caring hands! Highly recommend her. I was a nervous first timer and she went the extra mile to ensure my cat was walked and got play time and even sent a kitty valentine. Thanks Karla!!
March 2021 update- Karla and her team continue to provide wonderful care. We started their new poop pickup service and it has been so helpful and convenient. Joe goes above and beyond and has communicated with us actively to address any concerns. I highly recommend! Karla and her team have been caring for our pets whenever we go out of town for over a year. They are easy to work with, friendly, and affordable. My favorite part is receiving an update and pictures of our pups each day during their care, so fun and comforting!
We love Karla's Pet Care!! They always take such great care of our babies while we enjoy our time away. Would recommend 10000%!
Above and beyond and friendly service. They took great care of my fur family so I could be away.
Best pet sit sitter you can wish for. Responsible and reliable
Took our Golden to the splash pad night. They had the nicest facility!! So much room for the dogs to run around in, very clean and no broken toys/furniture. My golden had so much fun and I will definitely be signing her up for a day care session.
Great place to take your dog for day care or swim fun. I've taken my bullmastiff to day care and open swim. She lived both and came home tired and happy. Bit expensive buy you're paying for good care of your dog. I really appreciate that they screen your pet and have separation of different temperaments. Open swim in wknds is great and pretty cheap at $10 per dog. I highly recommend and will be back often. They have boarding service too, but I've never used it.
We rented the pool with some dog park friends and had a blast. The staff are very friendly and the pool was ready to have our pack of dogs rage. Some seating provided, bring a towel for yourself and wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked because the dogs will shake all over you!
Our baby loves her stays here and comes home happy having played with dogs for a week while we go on vacation.. take your baby here and see how great this place is!! 💙🙏🤙 See healthy happy tired.. good girl. …
We love taking our fur baby here! Bailey the front desk gal is so professional and sweet!
The staff here is great! Our pup had an amazing day swimming here, we are planning on coming back for daycare :) (And I must say... It's so refreshing to find a place where pitbulls are treated equally!)
I took my dog, Huffy, to the Animal Den for their open swim. She had a blast! All the doggies loved the pool and I got to enjoy some wine while she played. It was a win all around! My only gripe is the admission fee is $10. The fee is reasonable but it does keep us from going as frequently as we would like!
My dog has been going here for daycare 4 days a week for the last year and is so happy and excited whenever we arrive. Previous places we went for daycare I could see him on camera just sitting by the gate wanting to leave, and he was never eager to walk through the door. I think the staff here have gotten to know him and what makes him happy to be there so he feels much more comfortable. They also do cute holiday activities and dogs of the week which are adorable extra touches. Overall it’s been a great experience!
Such nice and caring individuals! They can accommodate almost anything! Very patient and compassionate for not only the fur babies but the fur parents as well! As for my Meeko he is having the time of his life for his first time. He is literally smiling. Great decision to board him here. I would high recommend this place!
They have been taking care of my loved ones for nearly 40 years. I've never boarded my dogs anywhere else and hope I never have to. They give great care and love and my dogs have fun there. And I have peace of mind.
The prices are reasonable and I can rest assured that my dog is being taken care of while I'm out of town. He always gets a ton of exercise and interaction with other dogs. He comes home and passes out for a day or two afterwards because of all the excitement.
A great place to board your pet. We have been bringing our dog to Badger Creek for several years, and we love the special care Jeri and her team provide! They have learned our dog's (ANNIE) personality over the years and we completely trust leaving our dog in the hands of Jeri and her staff. We wouldn't trust any other place to take care of our dog. There prices are very reasonable and can't be beat, and the space provided for our dog to sleep and play is great. I highly recommend Badger Creek to anyone and everyone. We always recommend Badger Creek to anyone and everyone.
We love bringing our dogs here and the special care Jeri and her team provide! They have learned our dogs' personalities over the years and know their quirks just like their own pet. The price and space can't be beat and we wouldn't trust anyplace else to take care of our dogs. They even take pictures of our dogs during their stay, and they're always smiling and happy. We always recommend Badger Creek to anyone and everyone.
Heard so much about this place...can't wait to see Jeri and the digs in person with my pup Ny!
Needed a last minute place for my pets while I went to San Francisco for a few days, and thankfully they had availability. I typically don't board my dogs, so I was a little worried about how they would do. Staff were very friendly when I dropped them off, and when I came to pick them up my dogs seemed very happy and not traumatized. What a relief. Happy to know this place is close by if I ever need it. Definitely recommend!
Badger Creek Kennels is seriously so amazing! I will never take my dog anywhere else. Pricing is very affordable (you won't find anything cheaper), the yard they play in is beautiful, and most importantly, your dog will have so much fun! My dog has an insane amount of energy and I know he enjoys himself very much. Very thankful to have found this place! I always know he is in good hands. Love love love this place, check it out, you won't regret it! :)
Such a great place. My dog's love staying with jerri and her fantastic staff while we are on vacation. I have been taking my dogs there for 10 + years and highly recommend badger creek kennels.
Jeri and her team are excellent and take care of your pets like they are there own! We've been coming here for years now and they know our 2 dogs well. They ways great them with open arms and know they love to give hugs. They have indoor/outdoor kennels that are wonderful for our big dogs as they can run even when in their own kennels. They also get yard time with other dogs paired for their temperaments and style of play too. The first time there, they paired our dog and watched him to make sure he fit well! When we pick them up they are always tired from playing so much. I would highly recommend Badger Creek Kennels.
I am so thankful to have found Badger Creek Kennels!! I boarded my small dog for 4 nights. This was the first time my little chi came home happy and not nervous/clingy like she has previously with other boarding facilities. It was also the first time she actually ate her food while boarding. Jeri took such great care of her and was patient to answer all my questions and give personal attention to specific needs. I know we’ve finally found our new ‘boarding home’. I highly recommend Badger Creek Kennels!!
My 2 dogs just had a wonderful experience over at Badger Creek Kennels this weekend! We were throwing our human son's birthday party and wanted the dogs to have a great day as well, not stuck in the garage while 6 year olds ran a muck in the house. Our vet recommended Badger Creek, saying they were family run and super reputable, and that's exactly the experience we had. The owner, Jeri, was so helpful on the phone alleviating any of my concerns (since this was their first "kennel" experience, especially the first for our rescue since her time in the shelter), and was consistently on point with which vaccinations were required (even calling our vet to confirm when we forgot to bring documentation for the latest shot). The dogs were happy when they got there, and so happy and worn out from running in the yard and having a blast that they didn't want to leave, and slept as soon as they got home! Since they did so well, I can't wait to bring them back so enjoy their days on the farm with Jeri and the other dogs. Bully-breed friendly for our 2 rescues! Thanks so much, Jeri! SO glad that Laguna Creek Pet Hospital recommended you!
I used to be a loyal customer and highly recommended them, but I unfortunately can no longer support them after having a deeper understanding of their protocols. Before getting into the worst of it, I'd like to point out that they have astro turf which unsurprisingly causes dogs' feet to get irritated on hot days. In their report cards, they will simply say they noticed they were getting irritated and treated them, but probably won't tell you why unless you ask. I started as a client with my husky Freya. Unfortunately she died in their care due to unknown causes. Their story was she was outside and started having irregular breathing, so they took her inside where she collapsed and died. She was 9 and had glaucoma, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt even though she was otherwise a healthy dog who had no problems going on 3-5mile runs with me when the weather wasn't too hot. Looking back, maybe I should have been more skeptical. When I got another husky mix, Loki, I started boarding him there and he loved it. However after a little over a year of boarding him there with no major issues other than being an overly enthusiastic husky puppy, he developed a food aggression issue while in their care. Freya had some food aggression issues when I first got her and I have taken care of multiple dogs with the problem before, so I am very well educated on prevention and training for it. When I asked about their feeding protocols, they stated that they simply drop the food in front of the dog, leave the room for an hour, and then come back in to take it away to get pressure washed whether there is food left or not. When Loki first demonstrated food aggression, their response was to attempt to remove the bowl with their foot or a fake prosthetic hand. This is textbook what not to do and will absolutely CAUSE AND INTESIFY food aggression. When I pointed this out and suggested that they should implement standard sit/stay feeding protocol, use redirection techniques, or to not try to take the food bowl away while the dog is still in the room, their response was essentially that they don't have time to do that and don't want to train their staff in standard dog handling practices. They even commented that past customers have suggested the same thing. This tells me that they are entirely aware that their protocols can cause food aggression and that they refuse to do anything about it. Apart from this incident, Loki seemed to love all the workers I saw him interact with. They all looked on the younger side, but they were extremely friendly and positive. I just wish the owners cared enough to train them better.
From my work account 3 years ago: I have a Husky mix who’s a handful, mindful but energetic. The staff have always been patient and loving towards Luna. I feel blessed to live close enough to use Local Bark. Last year I traveled almost 70% of the time for work. If it wasn’t for them I’m not sure how I would’ve gotten by… EDIT: I have since moved to Midtown Sacramento so I no longer go there but or Pomeranian gets groomed at their Power Inn location "Response from the owner 2 years ago Oh Luna! 🤗 She keeps us on our toes and we love that crazy girl so much! Thank you for the great review Walter and thank you for sharing your girl with us!" I am closing out reviews mistakenly completed in my work account
Amazing staff. Reasonable prices. All types of services from Daycare and Boarding, to Grooming, to Day Training, Boarding School, and Puppy Prep School. THEY EVEN HAVE A WALK-IN POOL MADE SPECIAL FOR THE DOGS!! Large & Small Dogs are welcome, as well as PITBULL FRIENDLY!!! You can tell the staff LOVE dogs, and genuinely care about what they do. Very trustworthy, welcoming, and easy to leave your pets with. The girls at the front desk and attentive and polite, and make things like checking-in your dog, or providing any information needed about the business easy. I highly recommend The Local Bark for all your Dog Care, Boarding, Grooming, Training, and occasional swimming needs!
Our dog has a great time at Local Bark... always comes home happy and tired. It's awesome that they have a pool that he can enjoy, one of the reasons I picked Local Bark in the first place. The facilities appear to be very clean and the staff are always nice. Oh, and they post pictures every day on their facebook page... so it's fun to see what your dog has been up to. Definitely recommend!
We love the Local Bark! Our dog has been coming here since she was a puppy ( she is now 9! ). We don’t use it as often as we did in the past as their prices have gone up, but when we need care for her overnight this is our go to place. They have different sized “rooms” for the dogs to stay, all day play time out back and offer grooming services as well. Our dog is happy here!
There is nothing that excites our yellow lab, Austin, more than going to the Local Bark. I usually take Austin to the Local Bark, but the first time my husband took him he passed the turn to go in to the Local Bark. Immediately Austin started barking and vocalizing. We are sure he was saying, "Dad, you missed it! You missed it! Turn around! Turn around now!! Austin just graduated from their 18 day in house training. Ivyonnne is a great trainer and Austin has made great strides in his obedience and self control. The Local Bark is an absolutely wonderful place for dogs. Austin gives it five paws up.
My puppy is very energetic and needs to socialize more with doggy friends. This was his first day at his evaluation. It made my day when I saw his picture, he looks happy and looks like he's smiling. He was happy and very tired when I picked him up because he must have played a lot. I will definitely take him on a regular basis.
Ella, world's most awesome BorderCollie loves the Local Bark to play and stay. The staff are amazing, caring and professional. To the owners and staff...your the best!
Editing my review after picking up my dog.I'm so happy I found a good boarding facility! The local bark is definitely a five-star place. My big mush of a pitbull really enjoyed her 13 night stay here over Christmas!I love the pictures I got to see on Facebook of her enjoying herself. I picked her up and she was so happy and clean, they gave her a bath for me. She's practically dancing in the waiting room while we were leaving. I like that the local bark has the most rigorous vaccine requirements in the areabecause my dog came home very healthy so I appreciate it! Also not much more expensive than any place around it's affordable in my opinion and they provide trusting and safe care for your dogs. Highly recommended I will definitely use again!
Chloe has been going to the Local Bark since she was 16 weeks old. She loves all the attention she gets from the staff and has a blast with the other dogs during Play Care and Overnight visits. Love them.
