Pet Sitters in Woolsey, CA

Affinity Pet Services have been very reliable & caring with our pets when we go on vacation. I love the updates and photos they are thoughtful enough to send so we feel less guilty about leaving home. We come home to a house of content dogs, cats & chickens that are calm and obviously not anxious about the changes. They are well taken care of & happy to get to stay in our home instead of kennels. I recommend Affinity often to friends, and am grateful to have them in our lives the last 5 years!

Our pup loves playgroup! She waits excitedly at the window on playgroup days for pickup, dances when she hears Charlotte pull up, and comes home tired and happy. We also have hired Affinity for pack walks, and to check on our pup in the middle of the day when we have had to work longer hours. Affinity has proven to be trustworthy, caring and very knowledgeable about dog care. We highly recommend!

Can’t give them 10 stars but they are top notch! Charlotte and her company are the best. Dogs always picked up promptly, exercised their little hearts out, returned clean and tired. I often am not home when she drops off, she is respectful, always house is locked back up. My dogs love seeing her cause Affinity equals fun!

Besides being incredibly professional. This is the highest recommendation for Affinity(and Charlotte) I can give. When we come home are cats don’t hide or ignore us(because they are mad)…they are happy to see us, relaxed and carry on as if we had never left. That is because of the great care & love they received from The Affinity team while we were away.

We've got 3 dogs and have been using Affinity for weekly visits and overnight stays when we are out of town for the last year and a half. They are reliable, trustworthy, and provide an abundance of love for our critters. They send us pictures while we're away so we know all is well. We couldn't be happier with the service they provide and highly recommend them.

Fabulous, pet lovers & care givers. They provide supportive care when I have a long stretch away from home. I highly recommend them.

If you neef care for your animals, maybe just a stop in to visit while away for an extended time. Awesome, super efficient booking system. Really nice, caring & diligent carers. Will use them again. Thank you.

I love our Affinity Auntie Gail. Incredibly attentive, and loves my two dogs.

Good people providing great services. I highly recommend!

Great service!

I met Marina several years ago and she took care of our dog, Milo with the best care we could ask for. She stayed in our home for vacations and did day visits at other times. We lost our Milo last year and since I miss seeing Marina. She is a gem!

Marina is the best! She is so very kind, thoughtful, organized and has an excellent communication style. Our little dog is in heaven when he stays with Marina. He is treated like royalty!

Our little pooch Eddie has totally loved his times with Marina and family when we've had to be away. And wherever we were, we got sent regular photos and videos of Eddie with his canine pals playing together and living the good life! Comfort and care supreme for Eddie, and the SAME for us! Five stars isn't enough!

We met Marina when our puppy was just about ten weeks old. She's helped us over the years in several ways: coming by for an hour, watching the dogs all day, or even house sitting. Marina is very reliable and trustworthy. She sends pictures several times a day. Our doggy loves her and is always excited to see her. We have friends we'd referred Marina to, who are just as happy wth her as we are. We recommend Marina without any reservation.

Marina is the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered. She is kind, reliable, honest - I could go on and on. Marina truly cares about animals. Everything she says and does makes that clear from the start. She sat for our very active young lab and and he adores her. Marina is always our first choice for pet and home sitting.

I have used Marina's services several times. She is awesome! I have 3 dogs two are seniors and one is special needs. They all love her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I feel very comfortable with her in my home. She was in constant communication with me sending many pictures. I was confident my pets were in the best hands. I highly recommend her.

Marina is an absolute dream pet sitter. You can tell she really loves animals and my dogs picked up on that the moment they met her. She is clean, conscientious, communicative, and responsible, and just a lovely human. I trust her 100% with my precious fur babies!

Marina is a treasure! She is absolutely reliable. She is someone whom you can count on to make the same decisions you would if she can’t in touch with you. She has an almost magical connection to animals including our skittish cats and our bouncy German Shepherd. She is someone whom you can trust.

Our dog loves being in Marina’s care! And we love how generously Marina takes care of our big 75-pound baby. You couldn’t ask for more from this pet caregiver. You and your pet will be lucky to connect with her.

I hired Marina to stay with my dog for three days and two nights while I was out of town, and when I came home I could tell my little girl Roweena was disappointed to see me and wished that Marina would stay on indefinitely. Lol,… no seriously, I really cannot say enough good about Marina. Your pet could not be placed in better, more loving hands.

There are not enough word to express the gratitude and love Rocky and I have for our Auntie Trish. She is an absolute dog whisperer. Rocky was a difficult dog. He was never difficult with his Auntie Trish. I was able to travel leaving him with her knowing he was in the best of hands always. She is so amazing she has a spot in our first and second book. Rocky recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Auntie Trish still remains as part of our adventure. She is amazing.

My dog has been going here for yours. Trish is wonderful and so caring. I know my dog is being cared for when he is with her!

Trish is the best! Velma and I absolutely love her!

Excellent care for my pup.

This lady is a saint!

We are so happy to discovered you! It was a big old tail wag all around! The care, knowledge, attention and positive input were greatly appreciated, and it’s a comfort that my little girl crazy Daisy has a safe place to stay if needs be! Thank you team! You’re such a blessing!🌲 …

I've checked other dog boarding places in our area, and for peace of mind, none can beat Olivet Kennel. Everyone who works there inspires confidence. They know how to handle my very active 8-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier. She's not mean in any way, but she is "extra." She is very exuberant and plays with that rough-and-tumble pit bull style. They know how to deal with her and let her interact with dogs they know can handle her personality. They go out of their way to ensure every dog gets the attention they need. I have no problem recommending them if you need a place to board your beloved pooch.

Milo joined Shiloh & Willow for daycare but he is only 4 months old. My pack is complete and I only trust Olivet with my pups. Best place in Sonoma county for friendly- loving staff and Wendy has a heart of Gold ♥️

Olivet Kennel & Dog Training is a wonderful place! The staff and owners really care about their clients and their dogs. My dog has some special needs and they have patiently been working with us to make him successful in adapting to a new experience of boarding. So happy we decided to give it a try!

I cannot even describe how thankful we are to have found this place for our little pup. Our dog is generally an anxious, but high energy dog that has made it hard for us to find the right person to watch her. We have had some poor experiences at other kennels and I was weary about finding a place that would not exacerbate her anxiety. The staff at Olivet made me feel comfortable from the very beginning with their trial stay, where they got to know her better and assess whether or not she would be a good fit. They understood her quirks and how to work with them to bring out her sweet, playful side. We have since had her stay multiple times and each time we get back and happy and more confident pup. The staff is always willing to give me updates when I call. Recently, they were gracious enough to take her last minute during a family emergency and it was so comforting to know that our girl was safe and happy. I can't say enough good things about Olivet!

Olivet Took great care of our dogs, Billy & Frankie, while we were away. Olivet kept in touch with us and shared photos and updates on how they were doing. Billy & Frankie returned to happy, healthy and bathed to boot! Beautiful spot and friendly staff. We will continue to trust Olivet with watching our pups in the future.

It makes me so happy when I take my dog there and she cannot wait to get out of the car. The staff seem friendly and genuine, the owner is caring and wants the best experience for my pup and Stephanie keeps me informed as to how she is doing. This helps us enjoy our vacation knowing she is well cared for. Thank you Wendy and Olivet staff for taking good care of all your clients

Bella is always taken care of and loved here. I went out of state and wasn’t concerned once about her knowing she was taken care of. They even checked in and sent me photos to let me know how she was. We have been coming here for years and always recommend to others.

Olivet kennels is an absolute Paradise for dogs. My dog Cooper was an enormous intimidating looking Mastiff that a few other kennels in Sonoma County wouldn't even give the time of day. He is a good boy that was bored and trained at incredible canines and just needed a place to be able to show how good he could be. Olivet was that place. They took him to evaluate and said yes a little over a year ago. Last year was the best year of his life entirely because of the team and his family at Olivet. Cooper's happiest days are spent with the people who love him up there. They gave him the opportunity to live his best life and be the dog that everyone should have. They'll never know how special they are in his life and he's the most loyal boy there is so he's always got their back. I couldn't recommend enough that you bring your dog to this special group of people. They truly made me feel like they loved him as much as I do every single time I dropped him off or picked him up on a Cooper Monday or his five-night stays once a month. Ronn & Cooper

9/2024 - Our Torrey (13 months old) had her second overnight visit at Olivet Kennel this past week. (Torrey has had spent many excellent playdates prior to this overnight.) Torrey loves the staff at Olivet and loves to play! Thank you for all the love and special care you take to ensure our pup is happy and well cared for at Olivet Kennel. We brought her home so happy! Torrey and we love you guys!💕🐶 Thanks for all you do. Sandra & Corinne and Torrey🐶!

They took great care of my zoo while I was out of town. My dog & cat loved them and it was a great relief to not have to worry about them during my trip. We had some miscommunication about dates (probably my fault!) and they immediately responded and visited twice more than they had planned. Even left me a very nice welcome home flower and card. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I recently had my dog Bailey at Starr Pet Resort while I was on an extended 17 days vacation. She had never been in a kennel before and suffers from anxiety. Jim and Sandy are amazing! They took such good care of Bailey. They don’t just cover the basics when caring for your pet, they go to great lengths to understand your pet so your pet will have the best possible experience. Thank you so much Jim for making Bailey feel a part of your family! Rodney

Board at Your Own Risk. No Liabilities, No Insurance and the Owner May Have You Arrested. On June 17, 2017, the next to last day of boarding my Belgian Malinois puppy, Starr Pet Resort left a message on a phone number that I specifically had told them not to use informing me that my dog’s leg had been injured. I was able to retrieve the message and come back a day early to pick my dog up at the hospital where she had been left. I was told that depending on treatment, the bill would be between $2,000 and $4,000. Jim Brock, owner of Starr Pet Resort, initially refused to pay any portion of the bill saying it was just an accident, although he had only given vague, conflicting explanations as to what happened. He also threatened both my girlfriend and I that this was a criminal matter and he was reporting it to the sheriff to have me arrested if I did not pay for his week of boarding immediately by providing him with my credit card information. He also refused to release my dog’s collar, tags and leash left at Starr Pet Resort. Jim had presented me with a contract for signature when I dropped of my dog on June 9, 2017. He stated that it was an “authorization to get medical care if needed”. In reality it was a liability waiver which states that Starr Pet Resort is not liable for anything that happens to your pet, and if they are found liable, it is only for a maximum of $500, or the value of the pet, whichever is LESS. None of these waivers are mentioned on the company’s website, nor was I advised of them prior to drop off even though I had visited the kennel in person and made a reservation over a month before boarding. I made at least five written requests for information regarding the injury. These requests included video records as they advertise they have 24 hour surveillance, a written statement from the person with my dog when the injury occurred and the name of their insurance provider. These requests were all ignored. I did receive an offer for a maximum of $2,000 from Starr Pet Resort on June 20, 2017. The offer may, or may not have covered my dog’s medical bills, but I did not know as it was very early in her treatment. The offer included a condition that I never say anything that they considered false or defamatory or pay damages in the amount of $5,000 for each violation. They broke my dog’s leg and then threatened to have me arrested. I could not agree to these terms. Despite several written requests, I never heard from Starr Pet Resorts after June 20, 2017, until I saw them in Small Claims’ Court on September 11, 2017. The only additional evidence they brought was a note from the girl who was playing with my dog when the supposed accident occurred. It was dated almost three months after the incident even though I had requested this back in June. It also turns out that their insurance does not cover pets. They are a kennel. What does their insurance cover?

These folks kept my best friend safe, active and happy during a two week business trip. The kennel facility is exceptionally clean. A pleasant surprise was the fact that it is climate controlled. Most importantly though; Jim and Sandy are dog people. They very clearly care about their guests and take care of their guests. Strongly recommended Update six months later: Sudden business trip abroad for four weeks: Same great facility. Same great service. Same great people.

We have been staying with Starr Pet for 2+ years and we love them so much! My Frenchie Ernestine loves it from the moment she arrives to see Uncle Jim and Sandi to her private nature walks (an optional add on she loves). The team is very attentive to Ernie, great at communicating updates and sharing pics. They are very professional, organized and treat Ernestine like family. I highly recommend Starr Pet and their amazing family/team. Thanks for taking such great care of Ernestine.

We left our 2 fur babies here when we went out of state for a graduation. They were there roughly 6 days and they had a blast! I got photos texted to me daily and some cool videos. It was comforting knowing our babies were so well taken care of. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to board your four legged kids. Thank you Starr Pet Resort!

Our cat loves staying at Starr Pet Resort when we are away from home. Jim and Sandy take very good care of her when she stays with them. Her room at the pet resort is always clean and comfortable. The whole cat area of the resort is immaculate and the pet owners are welcome to come in and see where their pet is staying as well as see the entire cat area. Both Jim and Sandy are well aware of each animal's condition throughout their stay and monitor each pet often. They treat each pet as an individual and get to know their personalities. We recommend Starr Pet Resort for pet owners whenever their pet needs to stay away from home. We feel confident that any issues that arise during our absence will be addressed and our pet will be safe and well taken care of.

I have a rescue dog who is anxious around new people and other animals. He was nervous at drop off, but in such high spirits after leaving Starr pet resort. They made him comfortable and he had a good time. Very reasonable price, and I really appreciated the one on one attention he received. Thank you Sandi & Jim

Our two English Bulldogs Love coming to Starr Pet Resort its always a treat for them. We started bringing both of our bulldogs when they were small puppies and they visit now on a monthly basis. El Guapo our largest Bulldog 3 years cannot wait to get out of the car to stay at the resort and now our newest addition bulldog puppy 6 months also loves coming to the resort. The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. Jim, Sandy and the staff are great and we wouldn't take our two Bulldog family members anywhere else, Thanks Starr Pet Resort!

We regularly take our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to the Starr Pet Resort. They love going there and are always happy to see the resort owners on arrival. The owners, Jim and Sandi, know the dogs by name, greet them warmly and take very good care of them. We recommend Starr Pet Resort very highly. Cheryl and John

Starr was wonderful with our dog Penny. We dropped her off with them for the first time we'd left overnight, and it was completely seamless. They sent over few photos during her stay to make sure we knew she was having a great time. We had a great experience; we'll be bringing Penny back to Starr in a couple weeks

Teddy 98 pound 2 year old Labrador had never been boarded. We took Teddy to Paradise Pet Resort and Teddy was excited to meet all the employees. We took the tour and Teddy wanted to play right away. Teddy had a free evaluation day before we boarded him overnight. Teddy had so much fun - he had played so hard he was exhausted. Teddy spent 3 nights at Paradise Pet Resort. Teddy enjoyed every minute he was there. It feels good to know Teddy is on vacation too.

My girl loves Daycare here!! She has the best time with all the dogs and always comes home tired and happy. I have a hard time getting her out the door because she doesn't want to leave! I love watching her play on the cams. Staff is kind and the rates are the best in town.

I love this place. We have two boxers. One is two years old the other 9. We use lodging for both and play time for younger one. Our older one is dog aggressive and they are fantastic about keeping him separate and doing add on solo dog walks when we lodge. The share a room which is great as that’s what they are used to. Pet play house is so accommodating with doing complex medication schedules. More than anything, the way they treat our dogs like their own is why we use their service. We highly recommend their service, EVERY staff member we have dealt with is excellent - 10 out of 10!!!!!

Best pet resort in Santa Rosa. My dog has stayed there many times. I really trust them. They’re really good with their dogs and Fritz .

I had concerns about leaving our dog for doggy daycare. We had never put her in one before. She seems to have adjusted to going there. I feel comfortable letting her stay there. Thanx Jennifer for making it easy for us,and Stormy especially.

"Dogs get sick" and "Kennels are stressful." This is the answer I received when dismayed that my healthy vibrant corgi developed serious illness during his short stay at Pet Paradise. Left him there on Friday night, and he was vomiting, disoriented and lethargic by Sunday morning. Staff at the front desk had no information when we picked him up, and didn't bother to tell me my dog was sick until AFTER I paid the $100 tab for 2 nights. (I did not receive the Sunday AM voicemail they left until long after I collected my dog.) Later, by phone, the site manager expressed absolute indifference to the situation -- "Kennels are stressful" and "dogs get sick," Marylin said, after talking over me repeatedly to emphasize that they did "all they could" by simply calling us on Sunday morning. My sick dog was given no special attention, he was not isolated from the rest of the dogs for his or their safety, and he was left to sit unbathed after being discovered covered in his own vomit when they found him in the morning. He was a wreck! The LEAST they could do is apologize and act like they care at all for my dog, who has been going there for short stays for years now. I incurred a $176 vet bill to learn that my dog had eaten something toxic while there (likely another dog's poop) and the owner (who will not call me and makes Marylin do all of his communicating for him) will neither refund the hefty cost of our dog's stay nor compensate us for the vet bill that was 100% attributable to the negligence of his staff. DON'T SEND YOUR DOGS TO THIS EXPENSIVE DIRTY KENNEL RUN BY FOLKS WHO WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNSAFE CONDITIONS!

It's all about the care they show for your precious pet. They require a screening visit to observe your pet with the pups. They gave us a swag bag following the screening visit and our pet adopted the plush toy immediately. Real time video is available on an app on your phone. It is great to be able to visually check on your loved ones. We are confident in the level of care they provide.

Our Ryder is about 2 years old. He’s a rescue and full of energy. It’s been many years that we’ve had a young dog. We decided to put him in doggie daycare to get his energy out. Oh my gosh it works. I like that I can watch him play. He never stops. Everyone at Paradise Pet Resort is so nice and cares for the dogs.

I was stunned when I picked up our Neufoundland, she was so unbelievably beautiful. We finally hit the jackpot with Paradise Pet Resorts & Grooming, especially with Lana. She is a "Grooming Goddess" extraordinaire! She worked with our pet who is older and being a large breed, has some pain issues. For the first time ever, our dog did not collapse in pain when we got her home, the way she did with previous groomers. In some miraculous way, Lana had the patience and insight to work on her for THREE HOURS making her look, act and behave brand new. She was able to move freely the next day, too. Thank you Paradise Pet Resort for being such an awesome and happy place for dogs and for employing such incredible, professional employees, especially Lana!

They are very good with the dogs. My dog is very frightened and they usually just wrap him up in a warm blanket and keep him calm. Some people tell me that their dogs love going to the place but my little dog has separation issues.

We’ve taken our Pomeranian to Gina at Four Paws for nearly 2 years since he was a puppy. We’re always happy with his specialty “teddy bear” cut. We’ve recommended Giur Paws to several friends.

We just love Bernadette in the Grooming area. She is so thoughtful and so good with our 2 dogs. She always goes above and beyond to help them. She is such a Great person... Joyce & Dave Sunderman

Dear 4 Paws Team, I just wanted to say how much we love bringing our dog to 4 Paws! Everyone is super friendly and it’s clear that you all love your job. Our dog comes home exhausted from playing all day, which is fantastic. The location is great, and the facility with its open field is wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our furry friends Best regards,

We absolutely love 4Paws Pet Ranch! We return for Joe’s hair cut every 3 months or so. They are great with the dogs and excellent stylists. I highly recommend them to everyone who loves their dog and wants them to look their best! They also have fantastic boarding services if you need to leave your baby behind for a few days!

Our super-energetic pup lives for Four Paws! We take him most work days and are incredibly thankful for the care and exercise he receives there. Without this outlet, I’m not sure we could have survived him and he might not have developed into the cool dog he is now…he’s awesome, but still a handful! Great staff loves him, and that makes us all happy!

I’ve been using Four Paws for over 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their friendliness and kindness, and I know that they take care of my dogs

I took my cat, Trout, here. They made it as pleasant as such an experience can be. I expected Trout to be traumatized, but when I let her out in the car - aside from loving on me for the first five minutes and then going back into her travel bag and growling at me for leaving her for a hot second - she was all cuddles immediately after. She made friends with the staff, they are all excited to see her come back. The hardest part was signing the standard release form. But it worked for boarding in a pinch. Trout wasn't traumatized at all. <3 Bring your paperwork!

Four Paws Pet Ranch is a wonderful place. Dragon loves his daycare with his doggy pals. Boarding is very good. I've only been a client for a year, but I have friends who've taken their dogs for many years. Highly recommend.

This is where I got my PJ from. When I met him, he was totally wild . He would not let you approach him or pet him. He would not go anywhere on a leash. Amanda, who worked there at the time was very helpful in making the transition. He is now the cutest, sweetest most wonderful little dog I’ve ever had.

I’m not sure what all goes on at Four Paws Pet Ranch when I board my dogs but they get SO excited when we arrive! They start talking and can’t sit still. I literally never hear them talk any other time! Four Paws Pet Ranch has always been so great to my dog reactive rescue mix. He was unable to be boarded with other dogs and could even climb chain link fences, so they had a specific kennel they could keep him in. My family lives in GA and sometimes I have had to travel back and visit. I once got sick and had to extend my stay an extra 10 days….They took care of both my pups and helped put one part of an otherwise awful trip at ease. These people are the best! Can’t recommend them enough!

Cool

I could write novels about how much my partner and I love this place — matched only by how much our PUP loves this place. Juniper practically sprints out of the car when we pull into the driveway, straight up to the door. Inside, she’s greeted by familiar, friendly faces who clearly love what they do. The managers, Carla and Megan, are true professionals, and every one of their employees seems happy to be there. The facilities are well kept, and the dogs are vetted, supervised, and tended to appropriately. The staff are extremely attentive, and keep us informed if there is any unusual behavior. We have had bad experiences before at another, larger place nearby. Felt like we had to drag our scared, shaking dog inside every time. It wasn’t long before we called it quits and found Almost Home. Thank god we did, because it really is just that! We feel so thankful to have a place we trust with our favorite, furry family member.

This is by far the BEST option for doggie daycare. I’ve been taking my lab there for nearly 2 years now and we’ve grown to love all of the staff there. What stands out the most is the professionalism amongst the staff, the CLEANLINESS as well. From the entrance to the lobby to the area where the dogs play-it’s freaking CLEAN!! Carla, the owner has made some incredible improvements to the daycare as well. She & her staff ensure a safe environment for dogs of all sizes and have a great system for vetting dogs that are a good fit and those that would not. My dog is excited when we pull up and always comes home pooped! Almost Home is amazing! Your dog will love it!!

Absolute gem of a facility. I’d heard great things and then brought my boy in and knew we were in a safe place. My dog is my life and to leave him was nerve wracking (for me, not him lol ) but the staff, especially Megan, made the experience quick and felt right. I came to collect him after his assessment and he was so happy and exhausted from the new friends he played with. Definitely found our home away from home.

I've been waiting a while to write this review, because I wanted to be sure about it. We started our puppy here before he was neutered. They really liked him, and he loved to be there. They were very clear they would watch his behavior - they kicked him out at a point where he was getting too "humpy" and aggressive with other dogs - we understood and appreciated that. We got him neutered, and several weeks later, we brought him back. He absolutely loves it there, and the staff are super friendly, very knowledgeable, and clearly take good care of the dogs there. We are happy with our choice. We looked at some others, but although this one was a tiny bit more expensive, it felt better- less chaotic, cleaner, more oriented to the dogs care. I highly recommend them!

Our dog never wants to leave! I am so happy I found this place. There are a lot of doggie day care places in Sonoma county, but this one just feels different. My little pup has the best time here. All of the staff are so friendly and kind. No one ever seems stressed or worried. The people and dogs coming in and out are the same, super friendly, kind and neither dog nor human is stressed or amped up. That says so much! The dogs get a lot more human interaction here, and they seem to make sure that dogs are paired with the right group, not just for their size, but for their temperament. When I come to pick up my little girl she just wants to go back in for more fun. She always comes out tired and happy. We love you Almost Home! Thank you for what you do every day!

We are giving this rating on behalf of our dogs. We went on vacation over the holidays with our 2 dogs, had contacted the daycare prior to coming up - to try and make sure everything went smoothly, and of course on our end it didn't. But they were incredibly patient and understanding with us. There is a 2 hour trial period to determine if your dog is a good fit and gets along well with everyone, beyond that, you pay. They are affordable and all of the staff is beyond nice. Our little guys had no problems leaving or coming back, which says a lot as one of our dogs HATES being alone and the other refuses to enter buildings associated with unpleasant experiences.

My dog has been going to Almost Home since she was a puppy [5 years] At 1st she has some behavioral issues, but the AH staff worked w/ her & she got past them. Dogs are well-supervised by people who really like dogs. They are sorted by size and, to some extent, temperament, into 3 separate play areas. When I leave my dog there, I feel confident that she will be safe and have a fun, energetic play day.

A small business, I am impressed with their priorities, caring for our dogs! I saw conscious attention to my dog's evaluation time, learning about him, what he was comfortable with and not. I am looking forward to using their services. Keep up the great work.

first day at doggie daycare and i notice i had two missed calls from them two hours after dropping off my dog. i immediately call back when realizing i missed the call due to bad reception in my area. staff member tells me i must immediately come back to pick up my dog because she has “kennel cough?!” WTH? my dog is young and she has never been around any other dogs, ever! until this day!! (and her evaluation). apparently they called my son (when they couldn’t get ahold of me) asking him to drive up to pick her up and that it was an emergency ( he lives 3 hours away) i don’t have anyone else in my life who could pick her up! i stopped what i was doing to go pick her up and a staff member tells me one of the other dogs as kennel cough.. 😐 during my observation: my dog DID NOT have kennel cough! she’s been with me for 9 hours now and not ONE SINGLE peep from her?!! WHY would your staff member tell me she had kennel cough?! freak me out and make me drive frantically across town just to find out she is completely fine?! i’m really disappointed in the unprofessional staff. i don’t even understand why i would have to even pay for the 2 hours, just to be lied to? oh well. live and learn i guess. no more doggie daycare for this pup if this is how the business is ran ✌🏼

We trust Carla and the Almost home staff more than anyone with our girl Rio. We appreciate the love, safety and respect they have for our pup and would recommend them to anyone in the area!

The best care and the best people I have ever encountered in a dog boarding facility. Absolutely top notch.

This is the only place we trust sending our pup when we go out of town. She comes back tired from playing, and always hops on the shuttle from the Presidio with so much eagerness that we know she loves it too! The vetting process can be a bit much, but it’s worth it to know that she’s only with other well behaved dogs and won’t come back with bad behaviors she didn’t leave with. Highly recommend and price is similar to some daily dog walker rates!

Tapper Hill is a great facility with a fantastic staff. You know it’s a great place when your four legged friends jump out of the car with their tails wagging when you arrive. Shuttle service is a big timesaver

Tappen Hill is the ultimate in dog boarding. It is truly unlike anything I've ever seen. Located in Sonoma County, it is a bit of a drive from San Francisco, but so worth it to know your dog will be treated with the highest level of care. Surrounded by beautiful rolling hills, Tappen Hill looks like a resort for humans. Beautiful manicured grounds, sparkling swimming pools (yes, I said swimming pools) and play grounds, this place is truly stunning. Your dog must pass a rather rigorous evaluation to get it, but it ensures an enjoyable environment for all. Nothing compares to Tappen Hill & definitely worth the drive!

Our dogs love it here. They get lots of play time with other dogs, have a pool to play in when it's hot, and are well-armed for. I like that they carefully assess the dogs and keep the size of the play groups smaller and easier to watch.

Posting for a friend who was a good client and during a recent pet stay, the rates were raised during their visit. This was not the first time. Apparently communication is lacking as they just communicate on their website and are unable to use their words when face to face. Buyer beware when leaving your pet for a stay!!

Our dogs have gone there for years. Simply the best boarding kennel we have ever used.

Most impressive doggie facility! Staff is professional and reflective of the owners' empathic love for man's best friend.

Very accommodating and always take good care of our pup! We can rest assured when we travel knowing our dog is well taken care of.

Our dog loves this place, wonderful people's work there, they taken very good care to all of them, a lot of space for them to run 2 swimming pool and a lot of toys, there are a happy place for my dogs
