    Such a great experience for my doggo! She's so happy and getting her energy out on the hikes and has been great for socializing her. She's nice and tired when she gets home and is so convenient since they pick her up. Never had an issue and it's been about 2ish years :) would recommend for anyone!

    We have been so grateful to In Their Element for 7+ years, under Glenn, Marisa, and company's incredible care. Our dog is always in wonderful and consciousness hands when he is out with the pack. We started our dog when he was 6 months old, and the team trained him with incredible recall. Glenn and the team are highly skilled, reliable, and just fantastic with dogs. We feel they've become part of our family, and are forever grateful they have taken such great care of our fur baby!

    I cannot say enough great things about In Their Element! If you are even on the fence about if it's worth it, will your dog be safe, etc.... Stop thinking and sign up now. Glenn and his team (specifically Alex) are true and true dog people. We originally started off using doggie daycare for our chocolate lab and then made the switch to ITE about a year ago after having some negative experiences with dog daycare. Both my husband and I were very impressed with the initial, in-depth consultation Glenn conducted prior to taking our dog on. It's very apparent that Glenn (and his team) had a lot of experience caring for dogs and specifically getting to know their personalities/interests. We use ITE 2-3x/week and every time our dog hears Alex (our walker) open our front fence, she gets so excited. Alex typically takes her for off leash hikes within the different regional parks around the East Bay, which our dog loves. Best part for us? We have a tired out pup, that spent 2 hours socializing and running around at the end of the day. Beyond the walks, ITE has phenomenal communication and it's very easy to schedule walks via their online portal. Hands down, I could not recommend ITE enough to anyone thinking about it!

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

Doggy Lama was the only company that responded that they had staff experienced with birds. Dani came by to meet my bird before my trip and did a wonderful job taking the time to get to know her and understand her needs. Unfortunately, my travel plans changed and I ended up not needing pet sitting services this summer. Even so, I wanted to leave a review because I was so impressed with the company. 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.

From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in her comfort and well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and notes about how she was settling in, which meant the world to me. It's clear they understand dogs on an individual level -- their personalities, quirks, and routines. When I picked Lola up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. No stress, no overwhelm -- just a tired pup who had a great time. The facility was clean, safe, and thoughtfully run, and I appreciated how organized and responsive the staff were. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants their dog cared for with kindness, consistency, and real attention to detail. Lola will definitely be coming back!

    We will never forgive Canine Boardwalk for the heartbreaking death of our beloved German Shepherd…read moremix, Sadie. We left Sadie under Jason's care on March 17, 2016. About 24 hours later, she was missing. After 4 days of frantic searching, the mobilization of many friends and family, and multiple pleas for assistance from Jason, our dear dog, Sadie, was found in the middle of I-80 by a stranger who thought her body might match the description on one of our fliers. Her body was flattened and mutilated beyond recognition from being run over by so many cars. Canine Boardwalk let her run collarless, without dog tags, and off-leash at Pt. Isabel. Under no circumstances would we have allowed Sadie to be let off leash at the Pt. Isabel dog park, which is full of foxtails (grass seeds that can be lethal to dogs), unfenced, and located near two major freeways. Only we could confirm Sadie's identity, and the experience of viewing her body will haunt us for the rest of our lives. We were not able to give her a proper burial or even remove her body from the highway. Now, I understand that people make mistakes. Dogs, even ones as docile and loving as Sadie was, are still animals and can be unpredictable around strangers. This is especially true of special-needs dogs like Sadie, who suffered from occasional seizures. Sadie's death, as gut-wrenching as it has been, could have been just a tragic experience. But it was more than tragic; this entire experience has been deeply traumatic because Jason and the staff of Canine Boardwalk handled the situation in the most callous, uncaring ways imaginable. From the moment they misrepresented themselves about who'd be walking Sadie and where they'd take her to their reluctance in helping us search for Sadie to the excruciatingly slow reimbursement process to get our money back for our missing dog expenses (we had to email them repeatedly for this), Canine Boardwalk made a tragic experience a deeply traumatic one. Because Canine Boardwalk avoided taking responsibility for their actions our pain has been magnified to agonizing levels. As you can see from the date of this post, Sadie's death was just a few months ago, and the way we lost her has made the mourning process unspeakably difficult. Without Canine Boardwalk's negligence and Jason's unprofessionalism, Sadie would be alive today. Their business practices are unsafe, and we believe the way they run their business endangers dogs. If Canine Boardwalk wants to stay in business, then they need to develop clear policies and procedures to ensure that tragedies like this do not happen again. We want to make sure that other dog owners do not experience the same kind of heartbreak and trauma that we did. Please think very, very carefully before you give them your business. There are other dog walking businesses run by compassionate, responsible people who would probably appreciate your support just as much as Canine Boardwalk would, and these other businesses would probably provide care with better professionalism and more respect. Please consider supporting them instead. After this experience, I wish I could give Canine Boardwalk a no star rating. Sadie, we love you so much and miss you every day, every hour. May you be romping happily with all the other dogs way out there over the rainbow bridge. RIP.
