    Gettin some love & scratches from Julie!
    J V.

    THANK YOU, Julie! I went out of town for 10 days and needed lodging for my sweet boy. Julie was amazing from the start, great communication - answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. Her facility is very clean, she sent me updates and pictures of my boy while I was away - when I reached out to her, she made sure to get back to me in a timely manner. I last minute asked if there were outlets in the room & the room I originally booked didnt have any. Julie was super accommodating and got Oliver into a different room w/ an outlet. I am so thankful to have found Julie! 10/10 recommend!

    Mau House is my go-to spot for boarding! Julie is incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, a true cat lover who caters to each cat's individual needs. The rooms are clean and spacious, outfitted with climbing furniture and hideaways. Each cat household is kept separate so there's no direct mingling among the guests, but they're given individual open door free roaming time each day. I always feel like I'm leaving my cat in good hands here!

    Absolutely recommend this cat hotel. Julie and team are friendly and caring. The spacious sunny hotel rooms are perfect for my babies to roam around and play in. Most rooms have windows, high platforms for cats to hang out/sleep, litter box, bowl of water. I bring my own food and bowls. You can bring your own toys, blankets, other things from home that will bring comfort to your cats so it feels familiar to them. This is my second time boarding with Mau and I have a booking planned for next month as well. I've been to a few other places in the Bay Area but this hotel offers safe, clean, and loving environment away from other pets without cages. And flexible pick up/drop off times! Thank you Mau!

    Quickly took to the soft cat nest that comes with the room (Rose).

    Julie and her staff are wonderfully compassionate cat people. I researched many other cat boarding places in the area, many of which looked like "little cat jail cells." Thankful to have found Mau House's cage-free rooms. Julie gave me a pre-stay tour of the cat hotel and promptly answered our many questions. It was our first time boarding our kitty boys and we appreciated the care they put in to making sure they were well taken care of and keeping us in the know during their stay. Already booked future stays with them this year :)

    Plenty of room to roam and climb

    See all

    Hello, what are the requirements to booking a room for my kittens? They are indoor cats and have not had any flea treatments. Thanks.

    You need to show proof of vaccinations and have a flea treatment before you bring them. You can easily do it yourself.

    I am writing a negative review about Metro Dog. I initially reached out to them for boarding…read morebecause I am traveling for vacation week. About two or three weeks ago, they scheduled me for an initial assessment, where they would assess my dog and figure out the best place to put him. I told them my dog is very vocal but that is normal for his breed (hes a husky). The assessment went great, my dog did very well, and he stayed there for half a day. Additionally, I was told to get him the canine influenza vaccine, which I did. The week after, I scheduled him for doggy daycare to get him used to it. The visit went well. They told me that my dog did great. He was vocal at the beginning, but he settled in. I said great. Nothing else was said to the contrary. The week of my vacation, I check the portal. It said my dog was still on the boarding waitlist. I called to confirm that he would be boarded and checked to see if they saw his updated vaccine record. They placed me on hold for a while until the man who did the initial assessment came on. He informed me, much to my surprise, that since my dog is still anxious (he barks, which is his normal), they would not be able to board him until he has a few more visits. I am very disappointed at Metro Dog. I feel like my time and money were utterly wasted. I followed their protocol and got my dog used to this place, and they declined my boarding request at the last minute. I now have to scramble and see if I can find another boarder for vacation. I am also very disappointed at the lack of communication. If I had not called them to check, I would not have known that he was declined. I received no indication that he would not be able to board by Metro Dog. I wanted to love this place but I am so good on Metro Dog. I hope this review can help others and push this place to be more communicative, honest, and upfront with fellow clients and their fur babies.

    So happy we found this place. It's a great place for dogs her buddy really enjoys it and it has…read morebeen a good experience for social time and also looking forward to boarding when travel, great staff and location moderate prices.

    We have been boarding our dog and sending her for daycare to the Barkmont for about 3 years now. It…read moreis a fantastic safe place for her and a good price given other options (many more expensive options don't even have playtime included!!). She always runs right in when we drop her off and we can tell she has a lot of fun when we watch her on the webcam. Her latest stay was 2.5 weeks and while she was exhausted when we picked her up from playing so much she is very healthy and happy. In situations where our travel plans have delayed us in picking her up, they have always been incredibly kind and understanding. We started adding walks to her long stays so she gets some individual outside time in addition to all day inside playtime. I have nothing but good things to report about the Barkmont and they make being a dog owner in the Bay so much easier. I also think they are just really good people, I heard they now partner with local pet rescues to give their foster dogs some socialization and love. Makes us feel good supporting them. Picture is from home but the boarder in question.

    This is an updated review. After getting my dog Ollie neutered - we returned to the Barkmont. I…read moreadmit that I tried another daycare facility - with not good results. At the other facility, Ollie for the first time displayed separation anxiety. The first time he did so, I thought he was just a bit nervous. The second time he had that look in his eyes that said, "do not leave me." Recently, we returned to the Barkmont. There was and continues to be a completely different response from Ollie. HE CANNOT WAIT TO GET IN THE DOOR AT THE BARKMONT. He absolutely loves the staff - professionals who are all very loving, kind and tender with the dogs. I should add that Ollie is somewhat of a higher maintenance dog - a 2-year-old 80 lb Samoyed who is an attention hound. I really like that the Barkmont has cameras so that you can log into to see how your fur baby is doing during a stay. The dogs are constantly monitored by staff who are in the various rooms - to ensure that no one gets out of line. Alot of additional services - meals, walks, bath etc. Kirk and Amanda - the owners both love dogs. They have provided in my opinion the VERY BEST DAYCARE FACILITY in the Bay Area.
