I know puppies can be difficult to groom, but Briana seemed to know how to deal with Miso. The grooming took only 1 hour and a half which is much less stress for my puppy.

Jess is AMAZING! We were looking to board our 4 year old Labrador for 15 days during our trip…read moreoverseas and we are so glad we decided on Jess. From the initial contact, Jess was courteous and accommodating. We made the trip to her place for the initial evaluation and immediately it was apparent that she has a lot of experience and she loves what she does. Her farm is beautiful and we were at ease knowing our pup will roam around freely during her stay there. Jess is diligent about sending updates and photos. It was clear from the photos that our fur baby was having a blast with Jess. Jess even offers pick up and drop off from the Bay Area and this was very convenient for us. She was very accommodating to plan around our flight schedules. Overall, we couldn't be happier with boarding our dog with Jess.

Lone Pine Dogs Daycare was such a special find for me as a travel registered nurse. I was in…read moreSebastopol/Santa Rosa from Nov '22 to July '23 on assignment and was really stressed about finding a legitimate daycare for my standard poodle, John Wick. Pat came highly recommended by my airBNB host and I am so grateful because John Wick was always well taken care of and loved. He would be so excited to see the owner of Lone Pine Dogs Daycare, Pat. He was also well fed and Pat ensured all of my dogs food allergies were addressed and followed. There are some other (unnecessarily expensive) dog places around Sebastopol but I finally decided to use Lone Pine Dogs Daycare as my pets primary place because I could just tell that my dog was way more happier and well taken care of at Pats place. I would 100% recommend.

Every time my dog stays with her, I know he's in the best hands--he gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Alexis goes above and beyond to make sure he feels comfortable, happy, and loved.

It gives me such peace of mind knowing that while I'm away, my dog isn't just being looked after--he's being cared for with the same heart and dedication that I would give.

We had a great first month at Olivet Kennel with our dog, Jack…read more The staff and owner do an excellent job caring for our 90 lbs Tamaskan. We like that the staff understands Jack and are careful not to overwhelm him with too many other dogs all at once. They are taking a careful and tailored approach for Jack, which is exactly what we were hoping for when we started with the daycare program. I met the owner, Wendy, the other day when I picked Jack up from daycare. She was checking in on the dogs and staff. She is kind, caring, and seems to be very knowledgeable about all kinds of dog breeds and behaviors. The office staff also deserves positive feedback, they kindly changed my daycare appointment today at no extra cost when I couldn't make the appointment. It's also the reason for writing this positive review today. Overall, Olivet Kennel is a professional run facility with an online booking system that still feels like a family business that you can trust. The kennel is clean and inviting. So far, we are very happy with their service!

Be very cautious!…read more My dog got very sick after staying here and almost died. The manager Stephanie admitted that this season was very active. It seems unprofessional to let sick dogs stay there but I guess they just care about money. Also I had prepaid for a daycare package. When I tried to use it they told me that it had expired during the time my dog was sick. I told Stephanie there's no way I could use the prepaid package while my dog was sick. She had not been in contact with any other dogs so I am 100% certain she caught it at Olivet. They never did honor the daycare pass I paid for and told me "sorry but it expired". Seemed odd for them to be so stubborn about a policy after my dog almost died because of them allowing sick dogs to stay there. I paid over $2000 in vet bills because of them and my dog nearly died. You've been warned, proceed with caution.

We have been working with Elena to train our dog (who has been a complete terror / impossible to train) and she has worked absolute magic with her. She's transformed her from a dog we thought we might have to re-home due to her lack of ability to follow directions / potty train her etc., and now we routinely get complimented that she is one of the best trained dogs people have seen. The transformation has been remarkable and Elena is a joy to work with. We now do boarding with her as well. We Elena her 100% and feel very lucky we found her

We met Zuki, the owner and primary trainer about 2 years ago, when we got our little dog, Lexi. She…read morewas an adorable, 4 month old beagle but she was a handful! She loved to chew on everything... baseboards, cabinets, fabric, paper, outdoor drip hose and low voltage electrical wiring! She also loved digging in the yard. She was afraid of most everyone and everything, including people and other animals. We could not get her to venture out of the house, other than to go into our back yard and would not go on a walk. Zuki has been a godsend! She spent lots of time with us, training us to train our dog. She demonstrated behavioral techniques, and gave us numerous opportunities to practice these while she was present. We had weekly homework assignments and she also provided us with additional suggestions on ways to alter Lexi's behavior, as well as suggestions for chew toys and rewarding treats. Now, at 3 years old, we can say, for the most part, we have a well behaved pet who follows commands, no longer chews, rarely digs, and loves to take walks! She is still getting used to other animals, but even in that, she is making progress. We would not hesitate to recommend Zuki and Can-Do Canine!

I was always hesitant to trust someone I didn't already know to come into my home and care for my beloved cats. Laura put us at ease right away. We spoke on the phone initially, then scheduled a Meet & Greet where my husband, myself, and our two Ragdoll boys got to hang out with and get to know Laura. Right away, I understood that Laura is a kind, dependable, intuitive, professional person who truly loves what she does, AND has a sense of humor. She kept in touch with us via text messaging every day for the 5 days we were gone, sending updates and cute photos of our boys. Knowing that our kitties were in good hands with someone trustworthy made all the difference for us during our time away. We will absolutely contact Laura the next time we go out of town.
