She was lonely and bored at the big box place off Hwy 50 as there was no human interaction; the staff loved her there but per policy they only interacted with the problem dogs.

Loba & I absolutely adore Stephanie!

Eden and her team at Sierra Dogs are our top choice for boarding our labradoodle. A stay with…read moreSierra Dogs is akin to a vacation at a first-rate canine playground with plenty of opportunities for physical exercise, mental stimulation and social interaction. We can't help but smile and chuckle while viewing online photos of our pup running at top speed with her dog buddies or taking a break on the deck. Although we miss being apart from our wonderful companion, we are comforted knowing that our dog is supervised while happily frolicking around with dog friends and provided with professional, skilled, and nurturing care. When reunited with our dog, she retains all skills we have instilled and is clean and well-behaved. We are very thankful for Eden and her caring team!

Doesn't get any better. I got a French bulldog puppy and needed some help training him. I sent him…read moreto Sierra dogs for a 6 week board and train program and it was the best decision I ever made. Eden promptly responded to my initial email and patiently answered all of my questions. It was hard having him so far away (I am based in Palo Alto), but I would drive twice as far to have Eden take care of my dog. Each day Eden would post a photo on Facebook, so I could watch him grow and she was always available to talk on the phone if I wanted an update. Eden transformed my 3 month old puppy into a well-trained, well-socialized, very happy dog. My puppy knows how to come, sit, stay, leave it, drop it, shake, and walk on a leash. He now comes with me to work and is the best-trained dog in my office. Now that my puppy has graduated from board and train, I look forward to using Sierra Dogs as a boarding place. (FYI: It's a convenient location for people who are heading up to Tahoe for the weekend.) I highly recommend Sierra Dogs!

This is regards to their boarding services. First of all, I'm glad to say my dogs came home without…read moreinjury or trauma. Unfortunately I failed to do my due diligence in looking into Gold Country. Mike Flores, Owner and husband of Cherie Flores assisted us during the booking and duration of stay with my two dogs. Now, there are several complaints on Yelp about his customer service skills or lack there of. Which is very true. But because I know how to deal with difficult people I was able to get through my conversations with him with out any major conflicts. Yes, Mike lacks manners, and is very suspicious of anyone entering his property. Very guarded and and unwelcoming but I think that's just the way he is. Second the facility they place our dogs. Not sure if what they advertise really exist or if they even provide the services they offer. There are no pictures of the kennel besides the "virtual tour" which is a prerecorded video with a power point presentation with picture of the so called kennel. But as customers, we are not allowed to see where our dogs are housed in person. I find it strange that we have to drop/pickup in a separate building. The property seems to be deteriorating in person compared to the pictures from their website. I paid for additional services such at the relaxation package and activity package but I don't have any evidence that these services were rendered. I packed food for my dogs and when I picked them up it seems that all the food I provided was gone. Once home, I fed my dogs and they eating like they haven't been fed for days. And they drank so much water... again all speculation but observing my dogs behavior and habits it seem they did not eat or drink very much. I also paid for a "report card" detailing their daily progress of their stay which I never received. During the scheduled pickup day (Monday 8-9) which states in there email there was no one there. I called multiple times and messages them on Facebook but no response. I decided to drive into the property and went to a residential home assuming it was the home of Mike. I started knocking and making my presence known. He came out and of course was confrontational asked what I was doing there. Long story short, he ended up making an excuse that he forgot about the pickup and asked that I wait back in the pickup and drop-off building. Side Note, the residential property was fenced off and I heard lots of dogs in cages. I also found a dog in the transport van they used that seemed to be there overnight. Again the property did not appear to be in good condition. I do not believe my dogs where in any of those cages but I can only speculate if they were other customers dogs. The kicker to all this was when I called after my dogs stay to see if they would accommodate a Sunday pick up. Mike said they were closed on weekends and didn't have staff to help accommodate our request. This statement brought up many concerns. If he said they didn't have staff, then who is caring for all the dogs in their care? My dogs stayed the weekend and now I questioned if they were cared for at all. Well I did further research and found out that the Amador County Animal control licenses these types of establishments. I inquired to see if Gold Country had any complaints filed against them or if they property had been inspected. The receptionist stated she didn't work in that unit but stated Cherie Flores works with her agency and helps trains law enforcement and search and rescue dogs. At this point, I decided not to ask anymore questions as Gold Country has a relationship with this agency. I feel that even if I wanted to file a complaint, it would fall on deaf ears. So please do your research. I will never use them again.
