My dog loves Park a pup. We purchased a lot of stays before hand for a discount. She would go often when we had to leave out of town. We recommend this location. Also they do shots every 6 months vs 1 a year like a regular vet would ask for. read more

We love Park-a-Pup! My husband and I have been sending my dog here for boarding/daycare since they opened. Park-a-Pup has great prices. Our dog always comes home happy and tired from playing with the other dogs. I love that he gets so much exercise and socialization! He's really well taken care of here. He even had a medical issue once during boarding. Park-a-Pup immediately called us to notify us, and we came back early from our trip to take him to the vet. If they hadn't been so prompt, he may not have survived. We'll be happy customers of Park-a-Pup as long as our dog is alive! read more

Thank you to the welcoming warm staff at park a pup Novato. I truly appreciate the thorough all day trial requirement. The staff was competent & communicative, they checked in around noon to let me know how my pups trial day was going. The building was well maintained, clean & welcoming. For the negative, outside the property, & parking lot bordering the facility was dirty, & littered today & a waste disposal next door. But I was happy the area outside was not reflective of park a pup. The facility seemed newer & maintained. Thank you for the trial stay today, the staff made the facility. read more

We've been boarding our dog Katie at Park a Pup in Novato since she was a puppy. This is our sixth year. The facility is immaculate and Katie is very happily received when she walks in. The staff there is wonderful and very caring. They are exceptional. We've never worried. Recently Katie stayed and became ill. Jamie, April, Max and Paul were on board and gave Katie amazing attention which led her to the Pet Hospital. They went beyond and treated Katie like their own pet. We are so grateful for all they do. Please know your dog is in the best care facility. read more

Our dog has been going to Park A Pup since we adopted him four years ago. First San Rafael, and now Novato. The times we have needed to board him, he happily gets into the car when he sees his ready bag with his food, blanket, and favorite toys - he knows where he's going. We get daily pictures and he's always giving his best doggy smile and surrounded by doggy friends - he's a very social guy. Now they've added grooming services which is wonderful for all of us. I'm disabled and spending lots of money for a mobile groomer but now he gets it all there - great looking after by their staff, grooming, socialization, and they know him every time we walk through the door. I recommend them to every dog parent I know. read more

Another great experience with boarding and grooming our furbabies!! We love you guys and only wish we lived closer so they could stay there more often. read more

Very friendly staff at the front desk. Very clear directions to get pup enrolled. Our dog clearly loved going. She did her trial day, and then boarded for a week. It was clear she loved it. She was in great shape when we picked her up. The only thing I noticed which made me think twice was that as I watched several staff enter and exit from the hallway door, they never said hello or good ye to the front desk, never looked up to say hello or acknowledge any of the customers in the lobby. It gave me paws (sorry, can't help the pun)- being an HR professional, it gave me pause. Otherwise, a wonderful place and I would feel more than comfortable taking our dog there again! read more

I can not say enough wonderful things about Park-A-Pup. I have two dogs that frequently use this facility and they can't wait to get in the door. When I leave for a vacation I don't have to feel guilty about leaving them. The staff is awesome. I feel they really enjoy their job. I'm thankful I found them! read more

The staff was incredible. They were expecting us for the trial, and welcomed us the second we walked through the doors. They texted me mid day to provide an update and then sent me a ton of amazing photos via the "report card". I cannot wait to send my pup back for daycare. She clearly had an absolute blast and it's largely because of the attentive and warm staff. The facilities are also very clean and well kept. It is clear that the staff is engaged and enjoys their job and that really makes all the difference for their customers. Thank you Park a Pup! read more

Our 10 month old Aussie Shep had a wonderful, fun day in doggie daycare today. The staff are professional, informative, efficient, very friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and a safe place to have your dog play without any concerns. We got an update mid-day on how our pup was doing. Our dog was very happy playing there with the other dogs under supervision. I highly recommend this doggie daycare. It is a hidden gem for dogs/dog lovers. Many thanks to all the staff at Park a Pup for your love and quality care of our pup. Bethany - thank you for the tour and outstanding communications and friendliness! read more

Given my the smile on her face and the curled tailed, I'm gonna say she thoroughly enjoyed her registration day at Park-a-Pup! Mira is our 7 month old Pomsky. She went to Park-a-Pup to become established at a doggy daycare in the event her at home sitter is unavailable. The front desk staff is very welcoming, they called me with a mid-day update, fed Mira her food from home and provided me with photos. It appears to be a clean daycare and all appears great with Mira. I'm glad Ii chose Park-a-Pup of Novato! read more

Our dog loves Park-a-Pup and we do too! They take good care of him and he has a good time at the Novato location.

Our dog seems to enjoy her time during her visits there. Always seem appropriately staffed. Drop off and pick up is easy and seamless.

We have been using the Park a Pup mostly in San Rafael, but the last couple of times we tried the Novato location..... Same five star treatment from the second I placed the phone call to make the reservation- all the way to picking up our happy pup Simba! He is a skittish guy generally but always appears comfortable with all of the staff, ( who clearly love dogs!) Very affordable also!! Highly recommend both locations!! read more

We usually take our little pup Ruby to doggie daycare at their San Rafael location because it's so much closer, but this is like the Ritz compared to the other location (which isn't bad, just in an older warehouse and a lot smaller). Anyway, we had an 8 day trip to Montana so we wanted to book her at this beautiful and huge new location they have in Novato. We did a couple day-care days here, she came home happy and tired and this made it a lot easier for her when we dropped her off for her longest boarding stay yet - and she's not quite a year so needless to say we felt a little bad leaving her, but knew she'd be in good hands and with tons of friends. This facility is really great, the online portal per usual is a great way to see photos and a report card - which they send periodically, I don't need or want a daily one, but just a FYI if that's what you're expecting. Also, the rates are reasonable, you can leave a bed or toys for the boarding stays and Ruby has her staff buddies that work at both locations so she was a happy pup. When we picked her up she was freshly bathed and pretty much slept the entire day...and half-way into the next, a sign of a good time! read more

My dog loves it here. I leave knowing he's having the best time while I'm at work or traveling--it's such amazing peace of mind. The staff are honestly so nice, responsive and my dog seems to really love them. It truly feels like I'm leaving him with family. Couldn't recommend it more. Groomer is wonderful, too. Price is excellent, which is the icing on the cake! read more

My dog, Ollie came back and he wouldn't eat his pills or anything. he kept throwing up and wouldn't eat a single bite of food. Another time, they lost all of my dogs stuff and gave it back a week later. And lastly another time I asked the person at the front desk to clip my dogs nails, but they never did. It sounds awful dropping my puppies off. There is barking in ever direction. whimpers and yelps. It makes me regret bringing them there in the first place. read more

Our Jake absolutely loves to go to Park-A-Pup! Staff is extremely friendly. It's wonderful to have them here in Novato. read more

My little miniature dachshund, Daisy, has been to Park-A-Pup twice now. I'm trying to take her every few weeks so she gets used to it before she has a long stay there while we are on vacation. The facility is new and clean. The staff is friendly. I like that you can add on services while your pup is there (ie. Nail trims). I love that there is a separate area for big dogs and small dogs. The report card with pictures is great. The one improvement they could make would be live webcams so I can view my pup throughout the day, especially when she stays there for an extended period of time. I'm sure all pet parents would appreciate this. If they added this, it would easily get a 5 star rating from me. read more

We had taken our puppy here several times for day care, and just finished his first week of boarding. They were stellar, and super patient with our nervous puppy parent questions. Great staff and facility. read more

Every time we take our Katie they know who she is and are happy to see her. They said she's a character!! And, she is!!! She's always very excited to visit. The staff there is amazing. They always have the same people working there which tells you something!! It's an immaculate facility and they are always on the ball to provide a safe place to prevent any viruses. It's truly a very happy doggie place!! Thank you everyone!!! read more

Let me say that I think their daycare service sounds great. But when I needed a place to board my 2 dogs over night, I looked around. I found someone who cares for dogs in her home who was about 2x the cost of Park-A-Pup. Being on a budget I was tempted to go with Park-A-Pup and made an appointment for a trial day. When I told the person who does it in her own home my plan, she warned me to ask if they have a human on the premises over-night at park-a-pup, in case of emergency. So, I called and asked Park-A-Pup and they told me "No we don't, they are secured inside at night". This just does not seem safe to me. I may still consider Park-A-Pup for daycare but leaving all of those dogs alone all night seems like a recipe for something bad to happen eventually. I don't want to take that chance on my dogs. I would rather not go on vacation that put them in any danger at all. read more

Punch, our Jack Russell Terrier, has been going to this location since they opened and he loves it. At first, after being quarantined with us for over a year he was hesitant to leave us but now gallops to the door! I love how staff know him by name and let him be a Jackie. Anytime I have a question or concern, staff is responsive and friendly. I always forget to ask for report cards but I randomly still get them, which is great! read more

Awesome facility and the staff go above and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone with a dog. we've used both boarding & daycare and our dogs love going there. They will even bathe & do nails anyone with a big dog knows those things can be a challenge especially with 2 big dogs. Keep up the great work! Hats off to the amazing staff who truly care about the dogs in their care!! read more

My Loki is almost 4 yrs old. He has been going to park a pup since he was a puppy. It is the only place I leave him. I use both locations. I love the staff and I know Loki loves it there. I have never had any issues. Staff also entertains my own separation anxiety. When Loki is there for a week or longer, I call to check up on him. Staff will also send me pics at my request. It just gives me peace knowing he is doing ok. Thank you to everyone at Park a pup! I'm always referring to my friends! read more
