Retired professionals who love animals, nature, vibrant cities, & new adventures
As newcomers to zeewoi it was helpful to be able to invite and meet prospective sitters before our trip. Our top of the list pick was Sheila with her wonderful bio and many shining reviews. We were fortunate Sheila and her partner Dan were willing to come see our home and our two young cats three weeks before our trip. We connected instantly and agreed they would be a good fit to watch our kitties and home while we were gone. This was the first time we have left our kitties for more than one night, so we were a bit nervous. Sheila’s experience in making things comfortable for owners and animals put us at ease. Having she and Dan come to meet the cats beforehand was certainly an added bonus! Sheila kindly asked how often we would like photos and updates on the cats while on our trip. She provided the perfect amount of contact by text which allowed us a chance to offer up a few more tips on our cat’s habits during our travels. We could not be happier with Sheila and Dan’s care of our home and our kitties! What a great experience! Everything was spotless and cared for, our cats had new friends and so did we!

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

San Francisco area & international sitting.
Betsy was wonderful and we'd love to have her back to sit any time. She was responsive from the beginning, sent us a message when she arrived at our house, sent pics and cute updates on our kitties throughout the stay, and left our house looking great when we returned. Having her sit brought peace and ease while we were away.

Taking my human play-therapy skills to your pets as the pet whisperer
Cynthia and Ken were awesome! Our pups loved them! I am not sure they even missed us… :) House was super clean and tidy when we came back. Plants were taken care of, and they were great at sending daily photo updates of the pups and the bunny! We cant wait to have them watch our fur babies again!

Audrey was a great sitter for my dog Gunner while I was away! She sent me updates, got in all fine & followed all instructions I provided her, and I came back to a clean apartment. I'd definitely recommend and would ask Audrey to watch my dog again!

FOR ME, LIFE IS ABOUT FINDING THE BLESSINGS IN THE MOMENT!
We booked Pamela to care for our dog Gatsby here in Hawaii while we were in California moving our freshman son into the dorms at college. I had a lot on my mind and my heart during this time of big changes for our family, and Pamela alleviated a lot of those feelings by being so awesome as both a pet and home sitter. She communicated clearly and frequently leading up to, and during, the sit. We received lots of photos and messages about Gatsby that filled us with such joy while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and took him on lots of advenures. She took fantastic care of our car, which she used during her sit, as well as our home and yard. Everything was spotless upon our return. I recommend Pamela without hesitation - we are happy to have her as part or our Ohana (family). Mahalo, Pamela - I'm so happy our paths have crossed !

Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Adding to Diana & Simon's already-glowing pile of reviews! Diana & Simon took such great care of our two little pups! They went on tons of walks, were served up lots of treats, and loved up on like crazy :) As requested, they sent us regular updates and left our home just as if we had never left. We would recommend Diana & Simon to pet sit any time!

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters
Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
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.
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

They take great care of my cats while I’m traveling. I’ve had many different pet sitters through them and all of them have been great. I recommend them wholeheartedly!
My business uses them all the time, they are always on time and super nice! I would definitely recommend.
Great with my fur baby. Very dependable.
Awesome 🤘 …
Thank you!
My cat stayed here for nearly 2 weeks whilst we found at apartment. She had flown in from the UK and the staff were fantastic at making her and us feel welcome.
Tails of Terra Linda is just the best. It is abundantly clear that each staff member loves animals. Every time we drop off our doggie I know I can trust the staff to take excellent care of our fur baby. It fills me with joy to know that he is having fun with his friends. I feel so much gratitude for Tails of Terra Linda! Thank you!
I have taken my dog BB here for boarding several times over the past few years. She also gets her nails clipped, and glands done monthly. The staff is friendly and the facility is welcoming.
We brought my family's cats here when we were gone a couple days. They took good care of them. We asked if they'd do nails and a wash too but for some reason they didn't do it. My guess is that it's because when we met the groomer he told us he'd try but if the cat isn't going for it they would not force it. So I think they felt they weren't into it? Im not sure. He wasn't there when we picked the cats up so I couldn't ask. Other than that it's a safe affordable option to keep your pet in a space like its own little hotel room.
My dog loves it here and I love the people!! Thank you for watching Dolly when I can’t!
I boarded my Samoyed at “Tails of Terra Linda” for 10 days in July. I was anxious about leaving her there because I had never left her in a commercial facility before and thought she might have a difficult time adapting. The kennels and group play spaces appear very clean and the staff are quite friendly and happy to answers lots of questions. When I picked her up she had clearly bonded with the dog handlers, she looked great and seemed happy. Now when i bring Juno there for day care, she pulls me with her tail wagging to the front door .
This place is beyond the best! I cannot begin to tell you what great care they give to my dog. He cannot wait to go there and play each day. The "hotel" boarding is wonderful and I have so much trust that he is in the best hands when I'm traveling. Oh- and their groomer is AMAZING!
Our dogs enjoy Tails. They have been going here for four years. The facility is clean, staff is super responsive and our dogs always come home happy. I would highly recommend this kennel.
Love this pet resort. Rates are good, staff are friendly and the facilities are extremely clean. It's owned/ run by the vet clinic next door, so if anything happens, I have the peace of mind by knowing there are vets nextdoor to help.
Horrible experience . I was out of town and my 80 year old mom and 81 year old aunt had to join me. They where manipulated, no written estimate nothing. Bill first started at $1800 . I contacted the owner, his immediate response was his business was with my mom not me. My dog got kennel cough, a severe eye infection even though they supposedly gave Jackson the vaccine for kennel cough. Then they almost gave my mom the wrong dog upon her return.
Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!
Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾
We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.
I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.
Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.
Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.
Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.
We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.
We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.
We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.
The only place my dog likes being boarded at. He's typically shy and reserved and doesn't like strangers but when we walk into Tail Haven he runs up to the staff and gives them licks. I can't recommend them enough, they really seem to care for your furry friend. I board here with 100% confidence knowing that my dog is in the best hands.
A friend recommended TH to me for some last minute daycare while visiting the Bay. What a gem. I wish there was something on par with this in LA. Staff is so caring, warm, friendly, clearly love the dogs and offering a great gift to the community. The owner Matt and staff member Steven took loving care of my girl Remi. This is the place to entrust your four legged family members.
We've dropped our cattle dog Pete for day care & weekend boarding at Tail Haven and been very happy with the care he gets. I like that it's a very secure facility since I know he managed to sneak out when I boarded him at a dog walker's home a few years ago and I was so worried. Thanks, team Tail Haven! Update 11/22/18 - Pete the pup is also trimming down a little, which will make our vet happy! It's been such a blessing to be able to take him for a couple days of fairly indoor playtime during all the bad air days from the Camp Fire. We were all getting a bit of cabin fever at home. Update 6/2019 - Pete's gotten a lot more confident with the staff at Tail Haven petting him, and we got compliments from the vet on how much better he is about his annual exam there. So glad we have a great place for him to spend some days while we're at work or away.
I have a Great Pyrenees, who is a total love, but a lot of work. The staff at Tail Haven always treats him with such patience and love. Julia, Brian and the rest of the staff make me feel so at ease when I’m at work or traveling and he is in their care. I couldn’t recommend Tail Haven more!
The staff at The Tail Haven Hotel & Day Lounge are so helpful and kind. Both Lili and Mat offered such great customer care when I was looking for daycare for my dog. Lili took the time to get me set up in the system when I called and had a daycare request to make with short notice for the next day. Mat was also very helpful in sharing about my dog's time during the in-take/observation appointment. Thanks, Tail Haven!
Our dog loves it. He's small and defensive of his owners, but is at ease in this place. He plays with the other small dogs and is friendly with the workers. They say he is well behaved when there, just as he is at home. Plays all day and sleeps when tired, but you wouldn't know it when he's home.,. Passed out.
Our canelo bear had the best time . Love how they take photos of the dogs everyday to show families ❤️
***Update 3/27 *** Pictures are being uploaded again! :) _______________________________________ Wish the San Rafeal site uploaded pictures again... We where told we'd have pics during the holidays, but we didn't receive any. But other than that, this place is amazing, my pup is always so happy! Not like WAG Hotels where he looked so sad and super ready to dash out of there! The tail Haven is a great place with great staff for your pup! This is definitely our permanent boarding place :)
I just can't say enough good about this place. My dogs were well taken care of but just as important my worry wort partner was so afraid that one of our three Keeshounds was not doing well that he actually booked a flight from Montana so he could check on her. Nuts right? Well the staff here stepped up to the plate and made sure that we got a few extra pics of Rosie smiling and having fun and allowed him to relax and trust the staff to do their jobs. No place is perfect but I trust The Tail Haven to care for and protect our dogs they were happy and healthy when we picked them up and that's good enough for us.
I have no doubt that my dog was well-cared for on his recent stay but I was distressed that when I picked him up he stank of dog urine so badly that I needed to take him immediately for a $17 bath. My dog is 7 and has boarded since he was a pup. There was only one other time that I had this experience in Baltimore and was told that other dogs were peeing on him. I hope this wasn't the case here but I don't have another explanation.
Fit N Furry is Lucy Loo’s home away from home. She loves her play days with friends and comes home all tuckered out. She also enjoys her sleepovers and we rest easy knowing she’s in the best of hands when we are away. Lucy Loo is a rescue from Mexico and gets very anxious around strangers. Her people friends at Fit N Furry treat her with such love and care. Can’t say enough good about the people and the place. They also have lots of fun events for the various holidays. We LOVE Fit N Furry.
We recently got a puppy and had to start over with a vet, training, and day care/boarding once in a while. We heard about FNF through a friend and gave them a try when we went to Disneyland. Our 6 month old Aussie Doodle isn't trusting of everyone. He definitely felt comfortable with the people at FNF immediately. It made a huge difference for us. We didn't have to worry about him. We got to enjoy the trip. They sent us pictures of him and updates the whole trip. It really put our mind at ease. He was well cared for and we could tell he wasn't stressed out etc. We will be continuing to give our business to FNF, even though there are other places that are more convenient and closer to us. Worth the drive 100% *Picture attached is one of the pics they sent to us as an update.
My big, deaf-from-birth, formerly stray dog thrives at FitnFurry. He was traumatized on the street as a pup and has issues with people and dogs, but at Fit he gets individualized attention, solo play in special sessions, and great care! The staff are terrific and he loves going there to stay.
It has been just about 3 weeks since we picked up our precious Lab Hope after her 18 day boarding/training course and her transformation has been amazing! This was a frightened timid and shaking dog that hid behind us when we arrived for her free consultation. We were assured that she would gain experience, confidence and skills while under their care. We journeyed of to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and received pictures and ongoing details of how her training was progressing. Today, the moment of truth came for us when we had visitors in our home, strangers to her. She laid down calmly, never barked, never got worked up, and when I put her on her leash to go for a walk, she sat calmly as she observed the strangers with not one ounce of negative fear or reaction. We went for our walk and she returned home just as calm as can be, all while my brothers dog barked uncontrollably at the strange voices. Marie has done a phenomenal job with Hope, and on her return visit, she was just as happy as can be returning to see Marie and her friends that she made at Fit & Furry. I have already referred several friends to Fit and Furry and I highly recommend their training courses. The transformation is so worth it! I was fortunate to be able to plan in advance and make payments prior to the training so that it was much easier to manage the cost of training, but I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you Marie and staff on behalf of Hope and our grateful family! You are one in a million!!! Hope thinks so too!! Here is a picture of Hope and her little friend Sasha who was also once shy and Hope helped her to come out of her shell. Just Amazing Hope!!!
Wanted to start our new pup with a good daycare, lodging experience. Went to puppy play - well managed and then to lodging. Our girl is happy to meet all her new friends and played out by the time she comes home. They even gave her a bath after she got too messy! Loving Fit n Furry- hope your furball feels that same!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fit ‘N’ Furry is. My dog loves going to daycare, the groomer is excellent as well as the training staff. I have boarded my dog multiple times at Fit ‘N’ Furry because they take such good care of my dog. The training staff are always available when I have questions and they are absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend taking your pet to Fit ‘N’ Furry for all their services!!
My sweet shy rescue girl, Olive, received what I can only imagine was the best care she could get. Marie was her personal trainer to help Olive feel more confident, use her dog brain to provide her with fulfillment and purpose and show off just how intelligent she is! When I saw Olive at the end of her training, she was SO happy and full of positive emotions! It was such a pleasure to see this bright side of my shy little girl. Thanks to FitnFurry and Marie, in particular, for being patient with her and providing her with this lifelong skill and cherished memory.
We adopted a Dachshund mix puppy. We boarded him at Fit 'N" Furry and the service and care he received was excellent. The facilities are clean while the staff is welcoming and professional. In addition to boarding him, we engaged their trainer, Marie, to work with him. She not only trained him, but she trained us. She was insightful as to what our puppy’s needs were, the breed characteristics, developmental stages, etc. Our dog is now a 1 year adolescent and she continues to provide us with evaluation, problem solving, and setting expectations and goals. Marie is an outstanding, thoughtful, experienced, and caring professional. We strongly recommend.
We have been bringing our dog to Fit n’Furry since 2018. They are wonderful and take such great care of him. Always professional and welcoming. The staff is top notch!
Our dog Luna had a great time at Fit N Furry. We had to board her for the first time while out of town and she had a blast playing with the other dogs! She was provided house kibble and treats and we felt like she was in good hands. We even got a picture sent to us during her stay. The staff is friendly and professional. We will be back for sure!
Sid is GREAT! My dog Poppy has had daycare with Sid 2-3 days a week for 3 years and occasionally overnight boarding. It is wonderful to see how Poppy lights up when she sees Sid, and I always feel she is in great hands, safe and active with playmates in a small group setting. Sid is conscientious, organized and in a terrific location. Highly recommend!
My dog has been boarding and going to day care with Sid for over two years. I feel much more secure with Sid than any kennel. Going to Sid’s is great for us. I never have to worry and she always keeps me posted my baby girl’s day. As a person Sid is wonderful. I am so glad we found her.
Sid is a true doggie whisperer. My puppy Fluffy loves her and felt comfortable right from the start at her houseboat. She has taken excellent care of him when we had to go on longer trips and kindly sent happy photos of him while we were away. This is very reassuring to my young son who was very worried especially the first time we left him in Sid’s care. She has given me some great dog training advice! I cannot more highly recommend her services. Enjoy!
My dog loves going to Sid’s house. She pulls at her leash with happy anticipation as we make our way along the dock to Sid’s beautiful houseboat. Sid has a calm, loving energy towards pets and their people. She is prompt in her communications and always send updates and photos of my dog frolicking with the other guest pooches. An experienced sitter and trainer Sid has saved me mountains of worry during various medical treatments when I could not care for my dog properly. What a relief to know that she is safe and well cared for. I am grateful and highly recommend Sid Tarlow as an experienced and loving pet sitter. S.E. Alexander San Francisco
My friend Sid has been caring for, boarding, and training my dogs for more than ten years now, and my spouse and I trust her completely with them. In the early years it was our Labrador Retriever, Della and my little mixed-breed, Archie, and their behavior and mood was so fantastic when we'd pick them up, I wondered how Sid did it. It's love. She now has our Chihuahua/Daschund mix, Cocoa whenever we go out of town, or need just an overnight. With pets, Sid is especially attentive to their needs, trains them in sociability and keeps them safe. Cocoa is always happy to be with Sid. We are very grateful to her for all her care, reliability, and talents. Thank you, Sid!
There is no person I trust more with my sweet pup than Sid, and no person my pup would rather be with! The level of care and peace of mind she provides is truly outstanding. Not only does she love my dog as her own but her expertise in dog training was so helpful during the early months with our puppy. We were lucky enough to call Sid our neighbor as well and each time we passed her house our dog would try to drag us there to see her! It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands when we can’t be with her. Thanks Sid!
Sidney is so responsible, kind, and affectionate with our Labradoodle, and we fully trust her with him whenever we travel.
I was visiting from out of town and staying with a friend who had cats. We boarded our dog Rosie here overnight. Natalie was kind and gentle with our sweet doggie and obviously has lots of experience caring for animals. I would bring Rosie here again. 🙂 …
I have tried Country Inn 2 times and have been very impressed by the care and concern of the staff. They are very dependable. They offer their own food and keep the dogs apart, which was very important for me as my dog doesn't do well with other dogs. They let them out in the sun frequently, when the weather permits and dogs also have a little outside area they can walk to from their kennel that gives them access to the sun.
The staff was exceptional during the devastating wine country fires! They boarded and fed our Coonhound and would not accept any payment. Thank you for helping us!
Excellent care, always we leave our dog with them, is the best place I widely recommend it. Always we are really satisfied with the friendly environment and staff ,our dog maroto is properly care.
Natalie and her staff are on it and caring. Used them for our dogs for 20 years… trust and confidence as well caring.
Love love love. Besides loving the staff they are the only ones who can get my husky cleaned.
Great experience very profesional
So good with my dog teddy
The folks at Park-a-Pup truly love and care for my dog. I’ve had a few experiences where I dropped her off for daycare/boarding and didn’t recognize the employee at the desk. The employees, however, all recognized Bambi and eagerly tell me how much they love her. They know so many details about her personality that they could only know from spending time with her. It’s comforting to know that she’s being taken care of so well.
Our favorite place in Marin for dog boarding and day care! They have a great system for making reservations, friendly staff and grooming services. Our 2 y.o Amstaffy always comes home exhausted which tells us he's actually playing and engaging in activities. They also provide report cards upon request which is so helpful when leaving for a longer trip. Love them so far!
This place has great people who love my dog, and she loves them. She gets sooo excited coming here. We do daycare and boarding during some weekends and most holidays at Park a Pup. The included bath for daycare is amazing and makes this an even better deal. Novato facility is nice and new but SR facility still does the trick! Dogs love it either way 😉
My dog, Panda, had her trial day today and I knew going in she was very anxious. The staff was aware and attentive to her needs and kept me updated throughout the day. By the time I picked her up, I could tell she was happy to be going home but also know she did have a good time and was taken well care off. Thank you to everyone for the experience!
I have held off writing this review for five years, but after another incident with this kennel today, I feel compelled to provide a review. And I HATE leaving one star reviews, I really really do. I give companies the benefit of the doubt and if there is ever an issue I will always call them first to sort it out. Almost all companies try their best and I don't want to hurt their reputation. That said, here goes... Our dog died at this kennel in 2019. Perfectly healthy 10 year old dog that had not a hint of disease, issues, sickness, nothing, nada. On the second day of his visit the owner called and just said they found our dog dead in the morning in his bed surrounded by other dogs and don't know what happened. They had him cremated before we got home so we weren't able to see his body and learn what may have happened. This was beyond traumatic, still gives me chills to write about it all these years later. It breaks my heart that our sweet pup whom we spent ten years with day in and day out, died alone and we never got to say goodbye. Heart breaking. The owner was very nice about his death (whatever that means), comped our stay and paid for the cremation. We didn't retaliate, weren't angry with him, we were just in total shock. He said it seemed like a natural death, and maybe it was, we will never know. Again, we were very nice about it and just cried, no mean words and no aggression. Assumed sometimes unfortunate events happen. Fast forward to 2024, we have a new four year old dog and were again looking for a kennel to house him while we travel. For the past few years we have been at Bridewell Kennel in Novato, it has been great and we've no complaints. Only reason we are considering a new kennel is because Bridewell is the last exit in Novato before Sonoma County and we live in Southern Marin, it is just a bit of a haul to drive there. We interviewed a few kennels in Southern Marin and for some stupid reason, contacted Park-A-Pup to discuss what had happened with our previous dog and asked about possibly brining our new one. They assured us it would be okay and they would be a safe place for him, would be supportive etc etc. Yes, I am sure all of you reading this think we are idiots for even considering this place again. Today was our dog's test playdate, which is required before you can leave for overnight kenneling. Only three hours into it the front desk called us and said that our dog will not settle and is upset there, barking, scared and peeing. They said he doesn't seem like he can handle being kenneled and is over stimulated by all the other dogs. They said he is not a good fit and to come pick him up. Super strange because at Bridewell the staff not only says he is a favorite amongst the other dogs, but the staff actually gets excited when we call to book and when we drop him they always welcome him by name with a treat and a thorough petting. He also does great with other dogs. This seriously doesn't make sense. Ok Park-A-Pup... one perfectly healthy dog died at your kennel and our second is so scared he can't settle. Both dogs whom thrived and loved Bridewell. What the heck is going on? Hard pass.
I've been bringing my shih-tzu/poodle to the SR location for 7+ years, usually 3x/week (also some weekends and long holidays ) - can you tell we both love this place? He gets to play outside with other doggies for hours and are supervised by caring and attentive staff (often the owner Paul, a super great, experienced guy is also present). Paul and the staff have become like family to us - I'm grateful for everything about Park-A-Pup.
My dogs have boarded quite a lot this month and I always know they are well taken care of. They come home tired and happy 🥰 …
Park a pup is a fantastic place to leave your pups. Friendly staff and my pup is always so excited to go
I really had a great experience because my new Pup Tbow means the world to me I could tell he had fun !! I love the attention they give to the dogs I love Park a Pup!!!
Our two mastiff mutt rescues love Park a Pup - and we do too! Everything is great - been sending our dogs here for day camp and sleepaway camp for a few years. Only great things to say about the staff and how happy (& tired) our dogs are on every visit! Six stars out of five.
Very responsive and kind staff. We used Planet Canine for 2 days while traveling and working in Bay Area. Our dog was comfortable and had good time.
Our dogs love Planet Canine!! The owner and staff show incredible kindness and care towards all their canine companions! After trying a few kennels in the area, we are so glad our neighbors recommended this gem! It’s hard for us to leave my furry family members when we go out of town, but we know that they are well taken care of at Planet Canine and get plenty of time to socialize and run around.
Planet Canine is my dog’s home away from home . Sully was lonely and was experiencing separation anxiety . I interviewed numerous places and I feel fortunate we found Planet Canine . He attends daycare Monday through Friday . Steve, James and Jordan are amazing people . I have no doubt they love Sully and have become part of our family . Sully’s anxiety has decreased and he adjusted well .How do I know ? As soon as I turn into the driveway he is so excited . He can’t go inside fast enough . Thank you so much for helping us . You are our hero’s .
Allow me to begin by saying that I am extremely protective of my 3 1/2 year old Sheepadoodle, Elio. I don't have children, so my dogs become in a sense my "children". I think some of you can relate to that. I have been bringing him to Planet Canine since he was a young puppy 4-5 days every single week for daycare. I would not be such a dedicated and loyal customer of Planet Canine if I didn't trust the staff and facility implicitly. I pulled him out of a nearby competitor before coming to Planet Canine because of a mishap that occurred between Elio and another aggressive dog, so I wouldn't hesitate to do the same if Planet Canine weren't a top level business. Every member of the staff care deeply and genuinely about every dog they welcome to daycare and boarding. They don't accept just any dog, but put each through a behavioral analysis before accepting them. They even have an outdoor space, unique to doggie daycare facilities that are in the heart of a city (as opposed to in the country). So what if you have to make an appointment to tour the facility? That way they can plan around their daily routines for caring and overseeing the dogs. It gives me tremendous comfort to know that my dog is their top priority when under their supervision and responsibility. He can't wait to get out of the car every morning to run into Planet Canine which says everything I need to know about what goes on behind the scenes. And imagine how may day is lifted when I'm at work and I receive a video of Elio having the time of his life playing in the courtyard! I would not write this review if I didn't stand by every word I've written. Thank you Steve, Jordan, James, Ian, and the rest of the amazing staff at Planet Canine for loving Elio.
Great experience! Staff was so nice and easy to communicate with. My 2 dogs stayed for 10 days. They came home healthy, happy and tired.
I have left my dog in their care several times here during the past year! He always comes back fairly clean and on a relaxed mood. They separate bigger dogs from smaller ones, but also separate high energy dogs from more chill/ lower energy ones. They constantly will send video updates of my dog every 2-3 days overall I would recommend it!
Friendly staff. That’s their blessing. Update: They are very disorganized. You speak to one person & get an answer. And a day later you get a completely different answer from a different person. They were completely unaware of each time I dropped off my pups. They also leave your dogs unattended for extended periods of time. How do I know this? My pup, now 1 years old is apparently not allowed back to their facility because she dug up their turf. Really? The only times she ever does this is when she is left alone for more than a couple of hours. I have an older dog that wasn’t really a fan of staying there. Not sure what kind of care they truly provide behind closed doors. Btw, when we picked up our pup we were told everything was great until the next time we tried to book & were told no because the owners couldn’t allow her back to rip up their turf more… thank you.
Had to find a new kennel for the 4th of July holiday after my regular one closed unexpectedly, and chose Planet Canine based on reviews I read online. I am beyond satisfied with the facilities, the staff, and how much my pup enjoyed his stay. I liked that the application was detailed, the facility tour was thorough, and the staff experienced. Will definitely board my dogs here again.
Hands down the best doggie daycare in Marin County. The ONLY place my dog is excited about going to. She used to go to other doggie day care places in Marin County. She was always unhappy to go to them--we often had to bribe her with treats to even get out of the car--and incredibly happy when we came to pick her up. At Planet Canine, she is actually EXCITED to go there! It's the best feeling to know your pet is not only being taken care of, but LOVED. Highly, highly recommended.
Our dog absolutely loves it here, great people!
Awesome!!!! Spectacular....Visit it!!!
