Our mini Australian shepherd loves staying at Critter Happiness! We can tell she had fun each time we pick her up! The facilities are clean & the dogs get regular exercise--walks and play time. We get regular photos of our fur baby too! read more

Needed a place to board my goldendoodle and really did not want to go back to the place I've boarded him in the past , where when I picked him up he looked like he came out of the twilight zone and then was infested with fleas ... I needed to board my dog again and couldn't bring him back to that one place. I Contacted Krissy and she said I could bring him in . When I arrived , I saw that there was a cute doggy play area with a kiddy pool and it was very clean. She sent me pictures every day that I was away. When I picked him up he was sooo happy and sooo tired from getting attention and playing ! Will definitely keep using them as they are easy to get ahold of and the whole process from pick up to drop off was stress free ! Thank you Krissy ! read more

Critter Happiness - Pet Boarding Near Me

Krissy and Eric have an amazing facility at Critter Happiness. We had recently adopted a pittie mix and were anxious to board him while we were on vacation. We came across Critter Happiness and had an introductory call with Krissy before deciding to give them a try. When we arrived to drop off our pup, Eric was there to greet us and give us a tour - we were blown away by property. They have created the ultimate summer camp for dogs with immaculate outdoor dog runs, play areas, and a trailer to ensure your dog sleeps safely at night. Krissy was great about sending us photos and updates everyday, which gave us peace of mind that our fur baby was being taken care of. Another big draw for us is that it is a smaller boarding facility, so we knew our dog would not be overwhelmed and receive plenty of attention/interaction. This place is truly a 10/10! read more

Our guys love this place, and we know they receive excellent care (even to the point of getting spoiled). The big guys stay in a large enclosed area during the day, with private areas as well as a central play area, but are kept safe at night in crates. Our little guy says in the house and hangs out with the family. They are always excited to go to "camp" and we're so grateful they have a wonderful place to be when we need to travel. And I know that we're also supporting the great work they do as a farm sanctuary. I highly recommend their services. read more

We're beyond grateful to Krissy, Eric and everyone here! We have two big dogs (Aussie and a golden) and one elderly, opinionated small dog (dachshund/terrier mix). This is their happy place! The big dogs get to run, play and splash in the wading pools; the little guy gets to lounge around in the house, being served a fresh (and often scrambled) duck egg every morning. What could be better? They come home tired out and happy, always eager to go back, which is the highest review they can give. The love Critter Happiness has for animals is evident in their exceptional care for our pack and the rescue work they do. Their kindness to us has been amazing, too. During a lengthy medical issue that required multiple (and sometimes sudden) trips to Los Angeles, Krissy and Eric told us our dogs would always be welcome, even with 15 minutes notice on a holiday weekend. Their generosity made a very tough time a whole lot easier, and we'll be forever grateful. These are wonderful people who love animals and love caring for them. We're so, so glad to have found them! read more

My two dogs have now been boarded with Krissy @ Critter Happiness for a month. I am in the process of relocating and was really stressed out about how to manage the move with my dogs. Krissy came highly recommended and now I have to add to those recommendations...her care and love shown to my two dogs has been such a joy and relief. She sends me daily pics and updates and lets me visit when my job allows...they are loving their time with her and now I know I have a place to take them when I travel where they'll be cared for as loving pets...not just another boarder. She is AWESOME! read more

Our dogs love staying with Krissy @ Critter Happiness. They are treated like family and even welcome in her home. Krissy sends out updates & photos during their stay. It's not a kennel... it's a "staycation" for our pups. read more

Our pup Kip has had two excellent stays here while we've been out of town. He has come home both times tired out from playing so hard and socializing with the other dogs. It's like dog sleepaway camp! They treat him like a member of their family and Kip receives lots of love and attention. I especially love that the small dogs have their own separate area in which to play, sleep and eat. Kip jumps with joy when we pull into the farm. Highly recommend! read more

They are the best. They keep my dog happy. They send pictures everyday so you know your pet is safe and happy. My experience is so good using them, that I can highly recommend them. They walk your dog each day and they try to keep your same schedule for your pet. read more

We've taken our dog Charlee to Krissy at Critter Happiness twice since we moved to Paso Robles last summer. Each time, Krissy and her family have taken such good care of her! She sends us updates and photos regularly. When we return to pick up Charlee she is always happy and not stressed. Krissy is professional, yet so friendly and personable. She's always relaxed and prepared to deal with anything. I highly recommend Critter Happiness! read more

On dropoff I was apprehensive about not being allowed to see where my dog would be staying. I wish had gone with my instincts. My dog came home constipated and her stomach was messed up for more than a week. I had to take her to the Vet for dehydration & constipation. The vet said he found it hard to believe she was given enough water & walked or actually had a bowel movement in several days. After $250 for boarding & another nearly $300 for the vet- my recommendation RUN !! Do NOT leave your fur baby here!!! Run! read more

I'm so lucky to have found this place to care for our pup. If you are looking for a place for your dog to have plenty interaction with people, pups and critters, this is the place. Krissy has been caring for our ranch dog on a long term basis. I was very worried our heeler would not do well with strangers. Krissy treats her like part of her family and sends me pictures and videos of her having fun. I highly recommend this place for your furry family. read more

If I could give less than a 1 star I would! DO NOT board your dogs here if you want them to be well taken care of and SAFE!!!! We left our dogs for ONE night in their care and came back to our 4 month old puppy with a severe fracture. I come from the veterinary background and know things can happen with rambunctious puppies , but this situation is not like that! My poor puppy had to SUFFER all night in their care with a severely fractured leg and an excuse as pathetic as "we don't know what happened. He wasn't like that this morning." The best part is, I have pictures of my dog sent by the facilities owners that AM of him on 3 legs! But IM the bad guy for calling them out. $3,000 dollars, 6 weeks of horrible and heartbreaking healing, and a heart full of stress and anger is all I got from this "boarding facility". They claim they have insurance etc, but it's all just a scam. There is also a case of them loosing a dog while in their care and they did NOTHING!! If I can save anyone else from the heartbreak and neglect these people provide, then I will make sure to share my story to prevent anyone else from having to go through this. read more

Critter Happiness - Pet Boarding Near Me

We absolutely love bringing our dog here. Our guy, Lucky, is super sweet and loving so we wanted to find a place where he'd be loved and appreciated as much as he is at home. Krissy, Eric and their family treat him like he's part of their family. Lucky LOVES going to their place. We call it CAMP. He sleeps inside and plays outside during the day with dogs of a similar energy and temperament as ours. Krissy sends photos and texts of how he's doing every day. We really appreciate the updates. They are super flexible if our schedule changes and upon pick up, Lucky is always super happy and tuckered out from all the play time. I recommend Critter Happiness 100 percent! read more

We boarded 4 family dogs with Krissy and Eric. Our two dogs have never boarded and I was worried about how they'd do. Krissy was so thoughtful about our 'city' dogs' comfort. She set them up in a bedroom in her house with access to a nice outdoor shaded deck. But when our dogs decided they preferred to be outside, Krissy switched them to a big shaded outdoor area. Best of all she sent many many photos. I could see for myself that our dogs were very happy. Two of the dogs take daily meds and Krissy also included photos of the meds being dispersed so we could know this was being well managed. When we came to pick them up, the dogs hadn't seen us when Eric entered their enclosure. They greeted Eric the same way they greet us. I definitely recommend Critter Happiness!!! read more

We have used this facility many times and they are kindest people ever !! You need to use them

We couldn't love this place more. Our dogs are always happy to be dropped off and are glad to see us when we get back but don't seem stressed at all. They get nice and tired out! We love the owners who take great care of the animals and have a very special touch with our fearful dog. We so appreciate being able to go out of town and not worry about our animals. Highly recommend read more

I am thrilled to have a place to take my two GSD's while I am away! I had a difficult time finding a facility that could house my working dogs safely. Krissy is very accommodating to the owner's needs and attentive to the needs of each dog. I like that she will either separate your dogs or blend them with others based on your personal preference as opposed to other places where they all must go out together. Each run is nicely sized where they can move, and they are safely secured at night. I can go out of town and leave my dogs knowing they are safe! read more
