    Very friendly & helpful customer service. The owner Julie is very nice as well. Trust all of your animals needs no matter what will be taken care while they stay in a nice, spacious, clean environment the doggy hotel & daycare Just Pet Me. Oh yeah, did I mention they also accept cats!

    Mochi who was mistreated during cat boarding

    I boarded my cat there for 3 days and they barely gave him any food. He's a large young male and very food focused. They claim to offer feeding up to 3 times a day and ask you to be specific about what you want your pet fed when. So my instructions were to give him 1 can in the AM, 1/2 can in the middle of the day, and in the evening to give him 1 can plus an individually-bagged portion of dry food medley to be thrown out and replaced the next day if he hadn't finished it. I gave them 6 cans of wet food and 2 bagged portions of dry medley. I.e. The exact amount required for that duration. They gave me back 4 cans of wet food, and a portion plus a little bit in the other portion bag of dry food! Starving my cat could not have been helpful in reducing his stress levels at being boarded. During the 3 days he was there, he was only fed wet food twice! Wet food is his primary nourishment. I'm feel terrible for making him stay there! Never Again!

    I love JPM, my senior dog has been coming here for 4 years and I'm convinced that it's helped keep her young. Instead of sitting home alone all day while I'm at work (and getting depressed), she gets to be with a pack - I believe this is super important for dogs as they're pack animals. She's also blind but can navigate easily here as it's kind of her second home. Because of her blindness it's also the only place I can really trust when I need to board her. The staff here love her and take great care of her. She's had accidents during nap time where she's peed on herself (old lady issues), and the staff will give her baths when she's done this. I've seen comments re; pricing, urine smell, etc. Re; the prices: check other daycares and they're the same pricing (if not more). To me, it's worth it to not have to worry about my dog while I'm at work and to keep her mentally stimulated. When I pick her up at the end of the day, she's so happy and energetic, it's like she's aged backwards! This is of course a personal choice, but if you've decided to take your dog to daycare, keep in mind it's not cheap. Cheaper than human day care though! Re; the smell: it's a bunch of dogs, what can you expect? That is what they do. JPM does seem to have made more of an effort to clean up the smell in the lobby though I've noticed lately. The empty containers in the lobby are dog's containers that their humans need to pick-up. You can't blame this on JPM - blame it on the dog owners that aren't taking them home. The back of JPM is awesome - they have a small dog room (which is HUGE) and also the bigger / more energetic dog room (also huge warehouse type space) which has the outside access with fake grass. The nap room (where they also sleep when they're being boarded) is really cool - they have little rooms with beds (and heated) for them to sleep in! They also have a separate room where they will put dogs that are maybe not feeling well or have an injury they're recovering from or are very anxious - I've also requested my dog go into this room if she has something she needs recover from where it's better she be more isolated. There's only 2 things they could improve on: 1. I wish they would have is cameras so the owners can see their dogs - BUT, this may be a good thing as I would probably spend too much time on it! 2. Also, I wish they would get their in house groomer back - I love the work she does on my dog, but she's now based in Concord only, which means she will pickup my dog and bring her back to JPM but sometimes she comes back too late, and also I would prefer she groom her at JPM in Oakland. I am super protective of my dog especially since she's blind and old but I trust them 100% with her. All in all, I would highly recommend JPM.

    Sir Sweet Pea, the pug, loves going to Just Pet Me (approx twice a week for the last year and a half). He starts whining and hopping around in his seat a block away. I forcefully tell him to settle down and he ignores me. On arrival, he is out the car like a rocket running for the front door. If he had hands, he would open the door before the car stops moving. Thankfully, he does not have hands. The prices are reasonable and the hours are spectacular - 6AM - 9PM. Great location and you can drop off your dog curbside. The staff is really impressive - very caring and customer focused. They love Sweet Pea - he was dog of the week in April 2014. Sweet Pea adores one of the managers, Sara, possibly more than his Mommy but loves the rest of the staff in a more reasonable fashion. I have to give a special shout out to Jay - who is so animated when he describes Sweet Pea's antics during that day when I pick him up. I could give a sweet anecdote about 4 other staff members but I do not know their names. On my list to remedy. I wish small/ medium dogs were segregated into a different area from the large dogs. There has never been a problem I would prefer it as long as his best friend Ringo qualifies as a medium dog. I have to travel and I have not a worry that Sweet Pea will have a great time and be safe. It does break my heart a bit when I pick him up after a trip. He is happy to see me for 15 seconds but as we are leaving, his soulful eyes get misty and he looks back wistfully at the staff telegraphing that parting is such sweet sorrow. Highly Recommend.

    Zenny & Gypsy at JPM.

    I cannot recommend Kathy at Cause and Effect Dog Training enough! When we first reached out, our…read moreSpringer Spaniel, Checkers, was fearful, anxious, and often growled at my spouse and sometimes even at our kids. We had already tried multiple trainers, different techniques, and even followed our vet's suggestion to try antidepressants--but nothing was helping (in fact, the medication only made things worse). The moment I spoke to Kathy on the phone, I felt confident she truly understood the problem and could guide us in the right direction. And she absolutely has. Over the past year, Checkers has made tremendous progress thanks to Kathy's knowledge, patience, and the clear guidance she gave us. We followed her suggestions carefully--even switching vets based on her recommendation--and the results have been life-changing. Earlier this year, we had to travel out of the country and trusted Kathy to board Checkers. During that time, he developed a beautiful bond with her partner Dan. This was nothing short of amazing, as Checkers has always been fearful of men. Watching their relationship grow has been such a gift. With Kathy's help (and the influence of her own two balanced dogs), Checkers has learned how to be a dog--something I once thought might never happen. He now participates in pack walks and can even run off-leash in the fields, something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like nothing is working, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Kathy. She and Dan have changed our lives, and I am endlessly grateful for the care and dedication they've shown to Checkers and to us.

I trusted that he would be safe with them. I took him to boarding school for two months to fix his past traumas and let him do a one month daycare here afterwards. He seemed a lot better with more socialization. Thank you to wag hotel Oakland for being patient and letting my dog thrive. I would recommend the 30 day daycare if pet parents are busy with their day or want socialization for their dogs

    Shame on you Wag Hotel!…read more I scheduled boarding for my dog Hans at your facility back on 1/28 in preparation for a trip to Japan on May 3 - 8, which you accepted on 1/31. However, when we arrived at your facility on May 2nd, the day before my flight to Japan, your front desk staff informed me that Hans' 5/2 - 5/8 boarding was being denied due to him having a heart murmur condition. Even though I've been a loyal customer to you for over 10 years; and that Hans' heart murmur condition had already been noted in your system since 2024; and given that my flight to Japan was less than 24 hours away; and given the fact that your facility waited until I was at the checkin desk in order to inform me of Hans' boarding denial; I was still told that there was nothing that your facility could do and that it was simply following company policy. Luckily for me, I demanded to speak with a manager who then took it upon himself to assist me in finding another facility that would board Hans at the very last minute. So kudos to that manager. However, you should know that he had to make several calls going down your "other recommended facilities" list in order to find a facility that was willing to board Hans on such short notice even with him having a preexisting heart murmur condition. So again, kudos to that manager. So unfortunately, this is how our relationship ends after I've been a loyal customer to you for over 10 years. Policy aside, not only should I have been notified far in advance to my May 2nd boarding schedule, but that I should have also been given an accommodation due to the last minute nature of your notification. It was simply amazing to me to hear both your Manager, and your front desk staff all admit that a notification error had, in fact, been made by your boarding authorization unit, but due to company policy there was nothing that could be done and that Hans would simply have to boarded elsewhere. Obviously, both my years of customer loyalty and the fact that your authorization unit had made a horrendous mistake, made absolutely no difference whatsoever in my situation. So goodbye, and again shame on you Wag Hotel!

    We recently used Restful Pets for our beloved boy, and I truly can't recommend them enough…read more We called several other places first, and many were far out in places like Fresno or Gilroy. It was really important to us to be able to bring him ourselves and have that sense of control. I had also heard too many stories of larger operations misplacing pets or losing ashes during transport, which felt unimaginable. Some of the places we spoke to also felt very transactional. It didn't feel like they were meeting us in what was a very real, emotional moment. Restful Pets was completely different from the first call. They were genuinely compassionate. Being local made everything easier, and their turnaround was much faster than what we were quoted elsewhere. It's definitely no-frills, with no big packages or upsells, but that ended up being exactly what we needed. What mattered most was knowing he was close and that we were in control of the process, with someone who treated us with care. That made all the difference.

    Lost my beloved fur baby almost 2 months ago and while in a state of shock (it was completely…read moreunexpected) I had to search for someone to help me take care of my baby and make proper arrangements for her.. After some searching online I came across Restful Pets and after reading a few reviews - I knew this was my best option. I immediately called and Mark, the owner answered. His tone was perfect given the setting/circumstances. He came within 1.5 hours to my home, allowed me to say my goodbyes, explained the process to me, and took her in a larger size "suitcase" which was hard to see but I understand that's how the process works. Within 2 weeks I received a text message from "Justine" letting us know Princess was ready for me to pick her up; throughout this entire process my only complaint or complaint would be the message when notifying the family that their fur baby is ready for pick up, it stated "good news, Princess is ready for pick up" which in one way, I understand how it can be perceived as good news - I've been without her for 2 weeks and receiving her remains should feel like "good news" but for me, it wasn't good news. It was confirmation I'd never see her face again so I felt the choice of words weren't the best. Besides that - they did such a good job and made an already painful process less stressful. Cost - it was as pricey as anywhere else you're looking. As a stay at home mom, I can't afford much and had to research quite a few places and the price is about the same everywhere $20-30 difference max and again, they came to my home and took care of the arrangements. The only thing I felt was overly priced was the clay paw print, I paid $100 for her print and it was gorgeous - don't get me wrong. But the clay molding can be purchased for $20 so $80 for the labor of doing it seemed a bit unreasonable but I wanted a final paw print so I paid it. The box I received with her ashes was also gorgeous. Again, great services and owner was a great person. I hope to not need to use their services anytime soon but would if needed and I do highly recommend if searching for someone.

    I have brought my dog to Happy Hound for over twelve years, after we tried another doggie day care…read more The staff at Happy Hound knows and cares about all the dogs, they have a thoughtful system for placing every dog in the appropriate group based on the dogs' energy level and temperament (mine is cranky with other dogs and wary of people), and the staff (all great) really understand how to accommodate different dogs -- no matter the size, breed or personality. For years my dog was there five days a week as I commuted into the City, and I always knew she was safe and happy there. Really the best facility for boarding dogs. M.A.B.

    Update following the owner (Suzanne)'s response:…read more I appreciate the business taking the time to respond. I want to clarify a few points for transparency and for prospective customers considering Happy Hound. My concern was never the existence of a first-day assessment fee, but the value delivered. I have used dog daycares across NYC, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco and have never encountered one that charges more than a standard daycare day for a first-day evaluation. In many cases, the first day is complimentary. That context shaped my expectations going in. When I called to book, the 3:00pm time slot was the only option presented to me by Happy Hound. At no point during booking--or after the tour--was it communicated that the daycare credit would apply the same way regardless of whether my dog attended for a full day or only a couple of hours. Without that clarity, it is entirely reasonable for a new customer to assume that paying for a full day would result in receiving a full day of care. That is where the communication breakdown occurred. I am not disputing the sequence of events shared in the owner's reply. My concern is with the policy itself--specifically, requiring payment for a full day of daycare while not delivering a full day of service when scheduling limitations come from the business. The outcome was that I paid for care my dog did not receive. A prorated refund for the unused portion of that day would have been a reasonable, customer-oriented resolution. Sharing this simply so other prospective customers understand how the onboarding process and policies work in practice.
