    Indi & her friends at daycare

    I honestly have nothing but excellent words to say about California Pampered Pooches!! My puppy absolutely loves it here! This place is a doggy Disneyland! Trust & believe that your dog will be in the best hands with Nicari & the staff at CAPP! Also, Maurice is the absolute best groomer in town! We just love it here, we are treated just like family!! You won't be disappointed!

    My boys!!

    I have been going to pampered pooches for sometime now and they are by far the best ever!! No one , and I mean no one can make them feel, smell like they do. I mean they are refreshed every time they go! I will recommend pampered pooches to everyone! Hands down the absolute best!!

    Nicari and her team were professionally friendly. My pup enjoyed his day there. We'll be back! They sent pictures and updates through the day. The facility is clean big and safe.

    Was visiting from out of town and needed a place for my puppy to go for the weekend. Received pictures and updates while he was away. When picked him up Nicari had him groomed and smelling like a Million Dollars. Wish she was closer to us! Best part they do not crate them unless asked. They let my puppy cuddle with them at night in bed. Was nice to know he was somewhere nice and being treated just the way he would be at home.

    Lola came home smelling like a nice clean, fresh puppy. Nicari is informative, attentive, and efficient. I recommend the services to anyone looking for a great groomer.

    Finding the right person to take care of your beloved pet is not an easy thing to find. To think you are leaving them in the hands of someone who will not care for them the same way you do, is a scary thought. The first time I called Nicari, I could tell she not only really cared about dogs, but also about my needs and concerns as an owner. I was in a bind, leaving for the Philippines for 2 weeks, and even though she was booked, she made every effort to accommodate me and my 16 year old pooch. This was no ordinary request. Not only would I be out of the country for 2 weeks, but my senior dog needed extra attention around the clock. Since my dad was no longer around, there was really nobody else that I knew who was capable of giving him the type of care he needed. Needless to say, she and Maurice took great care of Payton, as if he were their own. They went on to take care of him several more times over the next few months. Their sincerity and genuine care for Payton would further prove itself, as Payton grew very sick in his old age, Nicari came to visit Payton and ask about him daily. Sadly Payton passed recently. I was crushed, but Nicari was right there to comfort me, and even delivered a bottle of wine that was custom made for Payton. At the end of the day, Pampered Pooches cared for my little Payton like their own family member and went above and beyond to care for him. I'm a big believer in "under promise and over deliver", and PP personified that. Thank you Nicari, Maurice and staff! I'm so glad we both shared in our love for Payton!

    We are so happy to have our pupp boarded here with this awesome staff. They provide excellent customer service and they love your pet like it's their own. And when you come to pick up your pet they don't want to leave. I absolutely love all the love and care they give and the activities for the dogs to interact and play. I give them five stars but I wish I could give them more, outstanding establishment, and your pets are definitely pampered.

    Nicari and her staff are AMAZING! Our dog absolutely loves the love he gets there when we board him. We love getting photos of him sent while we are away, and you can see how happy and calm he is. No kennels, free roaming, and Nicari loves them all as they are her own. Highly recommend this establishment! Thank you for pampering our Pooch!!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! In the 3 years I've had my white German Shepherd, Kona, I have never boarded him so you can understand my hesitation to leave him with complete strangers! Yelp's high reviews of CPP lead me here and I couldn't have been more happy! First of all, you have to do a meet and greet with the other dogs and also you get to see where you will be leaving your dog. CPP doesn't use kennels - so rest assured that your dog won't be locked up in a cage while you're gone! They have a big yard to run around in and get to hang out in their living room while in the house! They are even with your dog 24 hours a day!! With other boarding facilities, you have to pay extra to for them to walk your dog, at CPP, walks are included! With my white GSD, she even took him to a park to let him run around with her 3 Weimeraners! Best of all, she gives you picture updates through text message so you can see how well your pet is doing! Nicari was so amazing with Kona and had such a good bond with him that he even cried when we left! Nicari worked wonders with Kona and even got him to come out of his shyness shell! He had such a fun filled weekend that he passed out right when we got home! If I could rate this business with more stars, I would!! I definitely recommend taking your dog here if you ever have to board them or need someone to watch them for a few hours! If you bring your dog to CPP, your dog will be taken care of just like they are one of the family!!!

    This is a new review on CPP's boarding... Went away for 4 days and as much as I dreaded leaving my Zoe, I had to but of course I felt comfortable knowing I can leave her at California Pampered Pooches for the weekend. We had a red eye so I was able to drop off Zoe in the evening. Zoe just got fixed so she was still on her medicine and they took great care of her. CPP just asked for me to write down her feeding times and do's and don'ts after her surgery and they were able to accommodate us. It was such a relieve knowing she would be in good hands and with other dogs her size. One of my favorites about CPP is they are kennel free. Although I do have a kennel for Zoe at home I love that she can run free in the huge backyard and get all the exercise she needs. If you need to get away for the weekend or go on a business trip and you're worried about where to take your pooch, look no further...California Pampered Pooches Dog Walk & More is your place!!

    Nicari and her team are amazing! My dog Apollo stayed with them when we went on a trip for four days to Chicago and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met Nicari and her staff. They are so good to the dogs and you can tell she and her team are passionate about what they do. Apollo came back tired, happy, and clean from his stay and Nicari went above and beyond while we were gone to make me feel good about him being with her. Without asking she send me photos and updates on his stay which is so helpful when you are away from your pet. I couldn't recommend this place more and we will definitely be using them again when we go out of town or to let Apollo play with some dogs.

    We love this place! This was the first time that I left my baby Callan for boarding for a whole week and it was the greatest move that we made. He loved this place! I loved it because he had a lot of doggy friends to run around and play with. He received lots of love, attention and effection. The owners were very sensitive to my leaving the poo for the first time. They sent pictures, video's and answered ALL of my many phone calls. This is definitely my boarding of choice for our toy poodle Callan. Lastly, to make things even better, they bathed him and droped him off at home for us. All we had to do was come from the airport and go home. An extra stop needed. Such a weight lifted off of tired travelers ; ) CPP is AMAZING!! Yours Truly, Ozzetta B.

    Took my husky puppy here today for his 1st time at a dog daycare and his first time around a lot of dogs and needless to say I was VERY nervous but I have to say the staff here was really excellent at slowly introducing him to the other dogs and helping me to feel comfortable. They sent me pics and videos throughout the day that were awesome. My dog didn't want to leave he was having so much fun. When he got home he was pooped and went right to sleep. I have to say Oliver, Andrew, Jordan and Emily went above and beyond and made me feel very comfortable that my doggie was in good hands. As you can see by the pics Blue was so happy and having fun and learning how to socialize with other dogs. The last pic is him asleep after a fun filled day.

    See all

Here's our review: The staff is very knowledgeable, kind & very loving towards our baby & our family. I always feel comfortable leaving her w/ the staff whether it's for a full day or overnight visits. Our dog loooooves the staff. Maybe it's the treats LOL - Either way, she's in good hands. The cost is reasonable, in comparison to other mobile daycare providers. I prefer consistency, and Aardvark provides that. The staff and owner are very professional. What I loved most was the "progress report" the owner provided me one day. It warmed my heart to know how involved the owner is & how comfortable my pup has become with the other dogs. I also like how they have separate areas for the large, small & medium pups & lounge area for pups that may be older & want to be left alone. There's a space for everyone ! The location/facility is HUGE & is conveniently located on Mare Island. If you're looking for a safe daycare facility for your fur baby , look no further - schedule your consultation. It was the best thing for us.

I looked here on Yelp, found a different pet sitter who at that time is fully booked so she recommended me to Happy Paws Pet Sitting, ran by Jennifer. She only does not do Pet Sitting but some mobile Pet Grooming too. I have two cats, a Nebelung and a Domestic Shorthair. Unfortunately these two girls play rough with each other all the time that I was concerned the older of the two are hurting the younger one with her long claws, so I was in a rush to have her nails trimmed. Thank goodness, Jennifer with the goodness of her heart, came over for a meet & greet and nail trimming the following day after my initial contact. What an angel! While I was away, i had a few tasks that I wasn't able to complete as I was in a rush (no surprises there). Tasks like: 1. I have cooked rice sitting in my rice cooker, and could start rotting before I come back from my trip 2. Bedroom door where my girls sleep didn't have door stopper, if it closes while either of them is in it, they won't be able to get to their litter boxes 3. My remote camera ran out of battery before it reached it's charging dock, so it had to be manually placed in the charger 4. Packages outside my door 5. ..some I can't remember Guess what? She happily took care of them all. I'm very happy to have found her. Even the shy one among my girls, liked her! That was unexpected but guess she just is like-able to humans and pets alike. And to top it all, she checked in with me the day after I returned to make sure I got back home safe. Highly recommended and will definitely contact her the next time I'm away.

They will literally go up and beyond to take care of your furbabies (or other type of creature child of yours) the way you want them to be cared for. They take photos during the walks/playtime to share with you, have open communication through an app with all the walkers, they slowly introduce your babies to new walkers and are very cautious about pack walks or individual walks. Super accommodating and understanding. They've never had a puppy client before and they were so gracious enough to help us with our 7 week old pit girl. They'd been walking our 7 month old pit boy for a couple months now and with no hesitation, took on our girl. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for a group of people like them. I have serious trust issues, especially with who cares for my furbabies. I'm super picky so I don't just hire a random walker from Wag! Or Rover. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they're a good fit for other dog owners, but from what I've experienced...no thank you. Before beginning services with VPS you meet Tye (the owner) and when you do, you just know you've found someone who truly cares for animals and is careful in choosing his walkers for his clients. I'm completely content with VPS and highly recommend them for anyone living in Vallejo and wherever else they provide services.

My dogs did well during the meet and great and Mark gave me a tour as well as answered any questions I had. I felt very comfortable with the information and his home and knew it would be a good fit for my dogs. His prices were also very good and he had me fill out an intake form that also made me feel comfortable that they wanted to know all about my dogs to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone.
