My dog Lido is the light of my life, and that's putting it mildly - meaning I can be a little over bearing and generally don't let him stay just anywhere. I can honestly say Lynda is one of the only people that's not a family member that I trust wholeheartedly with his care. It also helps that he has become best friends with one of her recent foster fails I love that they only take small (or very calm larger dogs), allow them to cuddle in bed and most importantly only use positive reinforcement. I always trust that he is being treated as if he was one of their own. Could not recommend Lynda or her services enough. We feel so lucky to have found her!

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.

She is professional and punctual. Her knowledge and expertise has taught me so much about my dog and his behavioral needs, ensuring I understood every step of the process while creating a stronger bond between me and my dog. My pup is two years old so it's very important for me he socializes with other dogs and that he gets his daily walk which has all been possible with City Girls dog care. My dog has so much fun on his walks and I look forward to his adorable pictures! I highly recommend City Girls dog care.

Sunny always get excited when we tell her that she is going to Kimberly's. We get the sense that Kimberly really loves Sunny (along with her other 4 legged clients) and that Sunny is happy and safe. She has her friends that she plays with and comes home tired. As an added treat, Kimberly frequently sends us videos of Sunny playing with her friends. This makes my husband and I extremely happy. We are so lucky to have been told about Kimberly.

A long overdue 5-star review! Thank goodness for Maverick's Pet Sitting and Ms. Kimberly. She is…read morethe very best dog sitter for my puppy Howie and I am very grateful to her. Howie is very attached to me and basically doesn't "go" with others except Ms. Kimberly. He actually gets really excited on the way to her place and nothing makes me happier. I trust her completely with Howie and have never had one issue. I highly recommend Maverick's Pet Sitting. If you're lucky enough to get accepted, be happy your pup will be safe and have fun!

We first enrolled about a year ago and Michael and Martha did an intake evaluation to make sure Pippa would fit in. After that Pippa was enrolled in their daycare 2x a week. One fabulous thing about Wiggling Tails is that they do pick up and drop offs in the city! Michael, Martha, and team are excellent communicators and are willing to be flexible. I LOVE all the fun photo shoots they do. They are so creative and go above and beyond. I'm including in my post the Valentine's Day and Mother's Day photo shoots which they framed for me . In addition to the photo shoots they will take action shots and videos of your pup during the day. I have always felt safe sending Pippa to Wiggling Tails. Pippa is always so excited when she sees the Wiggling Tails van and will literally leap into the crate in the back (and she hates crates)! I love Wiggling Tails and highly highly recommend them. It's been the best decision I've made for Pippa. Thank you Martha, Michael, and team for all you do for Pippa!

With Martha,…read moreMichael, and their close-knit crew, I can trust that my Lizou (2 year old 13 lb YorkiePoodle) is not only well taken care of, but treated like family/like their own. Not only do I trust and love Wiggling Tails for my dog's weekly daycare (and periodically overnight boarding), but Lizou LOVES them too... He knows that when he goes to Daycare, he's in for a day of fun with some doggos AND some humans. Getting Lizou integrated into the Wiggling Tails schedule at a young age (~6months) was the BEST decision we ever made -- for me, and for Lizou (for structure, for dog friendliness, etc.). I actively recommend my friends' pups to consider them too! Now, Lizou even has dog friends that he has known from "the outside" within the Daycare schedule! Also.. the pickup/drop off schedule is one of a kind in the bay area, and SO convenient to work around work schedules! One additional note to add to my review of their high quality, loving, clean, and SAFE care of dogs, is that you never know what special gems the staff and owners will surprise and delight you with... whether it's neat swag, special holiday-themed photo-ops, or action videos from daily play... Wiggling Tails provides the utmost care AND some really adorable and thoughtful added bonuses.

The care and attention given to my furry friend were exceptional. The host provided a warm and safe environment, and my dog seemed genuinely happy during the stay. Shes always excited when she realize we're at selinas place. Communication was top-notch, with regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. They also always seem to separate her when shes eating, which is was we requested to prevent her from eating other dogs food since shes a sensitive frenchie, I highly recommend this service to any pet owner seeking a loving and reliable home away from home for their beloved canine companion.

Our mini golden doodle has been going to Vicki's for 4 yrs and it's the best decision we ever made for him. He can't wait to see his doggy & wrangler friends every week and the ranch is a doggy heaven. A few standout things to note: *Vicki and the wranglers are extremely professional and are true dog lovers. *The pickup and drop-off service is really convenient, especially if you have an early start at work or need to go into the office. Our dog absolutely LOVES pickup and drop-off. He sits by the window waiting for the van to pull in and then is overjoyed when the wrangler comes to the door. *Our mini golden doodle always (and I mean always) comes home happy and tired. The ranch provides a space for our dog to run around and socialize to his fullest. *Quick communication and easy tools to schedule & message. Whenever we have a change in plans or need to drop a quick note, Vicki's team are quick to respond and always look to provide solutions or collaborate. * A special extra thing they do is celebrate birthdays and holidays. The pictures are SO cute and the dogs all genuinely seem happy when they celebrate.

We LOVE Rascal Ranch. It is the absolute best dog day care in existence…read more First, I love that they pick up and drop off from our home. The convenience factor of Rascal Ranch is very high. I get our pup dressed in her harness in the morning, and she's picked up between 9am - 11am dependent on the day's schedule. Second, they put a huge emphasis on safety which provides great peace of mind during the day. Third, our crazy, rambunctious Vizsla is actually tired when she gets home every day. It's usually enough tiredness to carry her through the weekend after a full day of ranching. Vicki and her team are incredibly professional, the pick up/drop off is seamless, and they're very helpful if I ever need to cancel or recheck Lena ranch day. Plus, I get adorable pictures of Cinnamon and her friends uploaded to a Google photos album every few days!
