To be able to trust Springdale with large, senior dogs whose only source of stimulation is the walks and playtime the staff provides them with has made all the difference in the world. We have gone on so many more trips since finding this facility- the girls always come home happy and exhausted! They are great with communication when needed, but for the most part I get to enjoy my trips knowing "no news is good news" and that they are always loved and cared for when they are here. Cannot recommend them enough- staff is so friendly and I feel so lucky to have a boarding facility that I can 100% trust. I recommend them to absolutely everyone!

I've never had a sitter earn the trust and attention of my female cat the way Lisa has. We've also struggled with the dynamic between our two cats--our male cat would bully our female cat while we were out of town, which caused her to have litter box issues. Since having Lisa care for them, the issue has completely resolved. She genuinely spends time with them, makes sure they get the playtime and attention they need, and goes above and beyond with their care. She has even offered thoughtful suggestions to help improve the relationship between our two cats. I would 1000% recommend Westside Pets to any cat parent! I've had several sitters in the past who would come in, scoop the litter box, and leave after five minutes. Lisa is completely different. She truly cares and spends the time with your pets that they need. Knowing she is caring for our cats gives me so much peace of mind when we're away!

Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently. This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable. All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard. The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon

This a wonderful boarding facility, but pricing increases and hidden fees are becoming…read moreunsustainable. My dog absolutely loves going to Thousand Hills and since I travel almost weekly for work, I used to bring her here every time I travel. However, increased costs during the holidays and now a higher nightly rate during summer as well is just too much for me. Summer prices at this boarding facility last until mid-September when schools are in session by the last week of August. Top it off with a fee if you drop your dog off in the last hour of their business hours, closure from noon to 1 PM for lunch (so pay for a full day of you can't get there before lunch), a deposit that is non-refundable if your trip is canceled, and prices add up rapidly. The employees and all caregivers at this facility are wonderful and I love that you get a daily report card on your dog. Most of the time these will include photos but not always. They also offer grooming and individual playtime and training opportunities. However, since the boarding costs have gone up consistently in the several years that I have been using their service services, I can no longer afford any of the extras, and adding a tip when you check out can add quite an increase (which I don't want to skip!) I understand that prices are going up for all of us for everything. However, I have had to switch to friends and other less fun options for my dog due to the costs at Thousand Hills Pet Resort. But I highly recommend this facility for boarding if you can afford it!

I am not going to lie, we were nervous reading web page that dogs are unattended at times. Our pup is 6 months and has never been left unattended away from home. We got there and did a tour around 11. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and areas they had. We felt it was clean for the number dogs and locations they had. It appeared organized with knowledge of dogs and temperaments and who goes where. I did express several times, I was fine with Stanley being left in a kennel by himself. We were only going to be gone for a few hours and was concerned with just the 2 staff folks there and all the areas for dogs to play. It does seem they have regulars so know the dogs well and who would play well, with whom. I appreciate the ability to text. I checked in about an hour after we left, all was well. I received a text a couple of hours with a short video of him smelling an area with another dog. I was a bit concerned they took him out with another dog but thankfully, he was fine in video and when I picked him up. I am definitely a helicopter mom and worry but I would have hoped my wishes were honored, of him being alone. I was able to enjoy by time zip lining while my boy was watched. I did not find it dirty, I felt for a huge kennel, it was fine for me. Kennels are going to smell and get dirty & maybe there could be more staff but I would recommend them. The only suggestion, if you are adamant about something-get their commitment they can deliver. Again, Stan was fine and it is my own issues to some degree but had something happened, we know the review would have been different.

This review is very difficult for me to write. We boarded our 1 year old yellow lab with Susan once…read morebefore and that stay had gone well. He came home filthy, but that is to be expected. We decided to board him again for the weekend we were moving from Paso to SLO to avoid having him underfoot with the movers. When I picked him up on Sunday he was standing at the gate with a sad look in his eyes. He jumped into the back of the car as fast as he could and immediately began crying. He was caked in mud so we took him directly to Lemo's pet store for a bath. He cried the whole way there. I was shocked because I have never heard him cry like that before. Susan mentioned that 2 of the bigger dogs had been obsessed with our dog and they "played" a lot so I thought he must just be really tired. During his bath he cried the entire time. As the mud washed away I was sickened to see mud crusted/bloody sores all over him, along with a bite mark on his neck. Then I noticed the bottom of his paws were blistered, swollen and raw. My poor baby. When we got home, my fiancé called Susan to find out what had happened. She played dumb and said the two dogs were chasing him around and trying to bite his collar. She separated them for a bit and then let them at it again. My poor dog was bullied for 3 days and she did nothing to keep him safe. As for his paws... it was 108 in Paso that weekend and the vet said his paws were burned from running around on the hot concrete. Her response was that she has shade for the dogs. Well apparently, her little shade tarp is not sufficient. I imagine my poor dog doing anything he can to get away from the other dogs and sacrificing his poor paws in the act of trying to get away. Our poor dog has been so traumatized that for the first 3 days he was home he would startle and start barking aggressively at any small noise. I know Susan means well and would never intentionally let a dog be hurt, but it has been heartbreaking to see our dog suffer from staying at her kennel. It seems like maybe she should charge more and have fewer dogs so that she is able to manager them better. All I know is that my dog will never be left there, or at any kennel again.
