I love that they all are genuinely kind to our pups and leave the sweetest pics and comments about them. My husband and I are really busy with work and PBF always accommodates our schedule and do what they can to make sure our needs are addressed. We recently also had a baby in the last year and pbf has helped accommodate us as we move into our next chapter of having kids. Even when we had to go to the hospital when the baby came, the owner helped us schedule the pups walks and transportation to our pet boarding facility. They are simply great and amazing and I never worry about our pups and trust each and everyone of the walkers in my household. I highly recommend them.

I have a 7yr old, 3lb yorkie named Popeye. He is my whole world! Needless to say, I'm very…read moreparticular in regard to who I leave Popeye with. In the past 7 yrs the only people I have ever left Popeye with is my dad, or Madison. He is small/fragile (he unfortunately has many health problems) and the last thing I want is to be worried about wether he is being cared for properly or not. When I leave Popeye with Madison I know he is in loving hands. Madison is very attentive, compassionate and truly loves your dog as much as she loves her own. She texts updates and pictures of your dog so you can see how happy they are with her. I feel for the amount of personal care she provides she is very well priced. I have friends who "board" their dogs and pay the same, or more, which is absurd in my opinion. I would never board my baby! When Popeye is in Madison's care I know he is happy and constantly being loved on. What more could you ask for?

We too used to like them, but the last time we boarded my 93 year old mom's 15 (?) year old sweet…read morelittle rescue dog, he got out and was lost for an unknown period of time. It turned out that it wasn't that long, but anything could have happened - he was loose and could have been hit by a car, grabbed by a coyote, or picked up by someone not as kind as the people who found him. Imagine landing from a trip and turning on your phone to a message from a strange (but kind!) man with a Santa Barbara area code saying he had your dog that they'd found running scared in the street - my mom was hysterical. They tried to slough it off and when they knew how upset I was, both Kristen & her husband started using rather foul language - they were the ones who lost the dog! I also question if they are licensed to board dogs in a residential neighborhood. I was shocked to find out a day or so later they had asked my mom to pay the entire bill! Incredible nerve after putting her through that trauma. She paid it "as she was afraid they would sue her." I discussed with Kristen calmly and she agreed to reduce it by 50% and refund my mom the difference. Then she started trying to renegotiate and offered only 1 night off "per her business consultant." Kristen has tried to contact my mom repeatedly, including going to her home, after my mom has not responded and I have asked her not to several times, and this is definitely verging on elder abuse. My mom is so upset, she says she'll never travel or board him again. As of today, over 3 weeks later, still no refund to my mom for their incredible negligence. I also noticed, as Brian S. did, that other than my mom's review in Sept, before they lost Reggie and when we still liked & trusted them, all other reviews are very old and refer to the previous owners.
