Finding Robyn, the owner of Gentle Genes Pet Care, has been an absolute game changer for us. Our…read morelittle Shih Tzu-Poodle mix has always been terrified of groomers -- shaking, crying, and clearly stressed the entire time. It broke our hearts. From the very first visit with Robyn, everything changed. She provides a truly personalized, calm, and loving experience. Our pup is never locked in a kennel or stuck in a loud room full of dogs while waiting for her appointment or pickup. Instead, she's cared for in a peaceful environment where she feels safe. Robyn's patience, gentleness, and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We can finally take our dog to the groomer without anxiety -- and that alone is priceless. If you have a sensitive or nervous pet, I truly can't recommend Gentle Genes Pet Care enough.

What eases our minds is they have cameras on during business hours so we can check on him. There are no camera kennels except for the dogs in the private rooms. For overnight boarding, I bring his food, bed and a toy. They have doggie bed cots but I like to bring the comforts of home with him. I have utilized the enrichment course so he can have one on one time. They also offer baths so you can pick up a clean dog. If I have a problem with an online order, I can always follow up via email/phone and they are responsive. Hours are 7am - 7pm.

After looking around and doing some research I came across You Luckie Dog Kennel. Looking up and reading reviews and going to the website to get more info on the place we decided to give it a try. Glad we did Rick is a nice man and knowledgeable in the business he answered all questions me and my wife had and we were able to checkout the place before actually leaving our boy. Location is the very last stop before you head into Mt. Diablo State park. We would and will use You Luckie Dog Kennels in the future when me and the family go on trips to leave our boy. Thanks again Rick

I can't say enough good things about You Luckie Dog! My pup gets so excited when we pull up--he…read morestarts wagging like crazy the moment we get near the gate. That tells me everything I need to know about how he's treated here. One of the best parts is that play time is included at no extra charge--no nickel-and-diming for giving the dogs the exercise and fun they deserve. The boarding rates are also very affordable, which makes it easy to book without stressing about the cost. Rick, the owner, is incredibly flexible and easy to work with. Whether I've needed to adjust drop-off times or extend a stay last minute, he's always accommodating and friendly. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs and the people who love them. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be happy, safe, and well cared for, You Luckie Dog is the jackpot!

They were responsive, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about both their clients and their pets. Communication was excellent, and their website made scheduling and payment incredibly easy.

Archie, my big rescue shepherd lab mix, is a sweet heart, however, he had a really hard first year of his life and I needed a lot of help with his sensitivity and reactivity. I tried several trainers and Vero's special touch has done the trick! What is special/unique about Vero: - Vero is very knowledgeable about all things dog-related and really takes the time to understand what is going on specifically for you and your dog - She is very kind and practical with her training and makes it simple so that it's easy to follow and be consistent - Vero is encouraging and supportive to help me feel more confident in what I am doing with Archie which is as important as anything else - Vero follows up and is very curious about how things are going and is eager to work with me to adjust as needed - She cares about the whole dog (and person : ) and helps to figure out what is going on health-wise since it is likely contributing to behaviors - We have been able to address a number of things with Vero that I was not able to make much progress on with other trainers - Vero continues to build on what we have learned whereas with other trainers I felt we kept working on the same thing and/or often regressed without much continual progress - Vero is very positive and clear in her communication which is incredibly helpful along the way

When I pulled up a younger male (long hair) was a bit standoffish and looked at me like I was insane asking if I could come check the facility out. I honestly felt like I was being shamed for so much as asking to come see where she would be after I dropped her off or meet any staff. I guess we are supposed to hand off our dogs through the car window on a rather busy street, to a virtual stranger? No lobby or anything? He said I could look at pictures online, but I have never had a boarding or daycare place gate keep their space like that.

I have checked around and found this is not a usual way to correct dogs. so, my dogs won't be going there.

I'm pretty sure she's made a few friends, possibly even joined a secret dog club. At this point, I'm convinced she doesn't miss us at all, which I guess means she's having a fantastic time.
