I was lucky to discover Sama Dog when looking for a place to board my 17-month-old Cavapoo near…read moreNevada City. Every other option consisted of kennels with scheduled exercise and social breaks. At Sama Dog my Sparky was quickly and easily incorporated into the home life of Amanda and Renee and their two dogs, Violet and Bennie. Amanda listened carefully to my concerns and desires for Sparky as he had recently been experiencing significant separation anxiety with all the changes in our lives. She sent me daily videos and messages. Sparky slept in the bed with her and Renee as he is used to sleeping with me. She worked on methods to calm his barking and anxiety. She makes healthy dog biscuits which he loves. I could tell her attention and care was focused on Sparky's well-being. It was if he was away at a private camp. Sama Dog is any pet owner's dream and source of peace-of-mind. Sparky ended up staying 8 nights due to extenuating circumstances. When I picked him up he was clean, healthy and very happy. His barking and anxiety has noticeably lessened. I am so grateful for Amanda. I can 100%, unequivocally recommend Sama Dog to any pet owner!!

I recently picked up my black lab, Jacks, after a week of boarding, and unfortunately had a very…read moreuncomfortable interaction with the groomer. The first thing said to me when I asked how he did was: "He's a DICK." I was honestly shocked. Apparently, he did not like the high-powered dryer or having his feet handled during grooming. While I completely understand that some dogs can be difficult to groom -- especially large dogs unfamiliar with professional grooming environments -- the way this was communicated was extremely unprofessional. A professional groomer could have easily said he was "difficult to groom," "anxious during drying," "didn't tolerate the dryer well," or "struggled with foot handling." Any of those would have communicated the issue appropriately without immediately insulting my dog the moment I reunited with him after 6 days away. What made it more confusing was that I had originally asked how Jacks did during boarding overall, and only after I questioned the comment did the groomer add, "But he's so sweet otherwise." So clearly this was situational grooming behavior, not an aggressive or dangerous dog. I've washed him at PetSmart before without issue, so while I understand every environment is different, the bedside manner here really left a bad impression. I left feeling uncomfortable and honestly, still kind of stunned by the interaction. The groomer also recommended I continue booking grooming appointments so he could "get used to it," but after that interaction, that's going to be a hard no from me. The initial boarding staff when I dropped him off was kind, and Jacks otherwise seemed happy and well cared for during his stay, but customer communication matters -- especially in animal care.

It took me a long Time to find a Dog Boarding place I was comfortable with. I did a lot of research…read moreon all of the local options. Like many others my dog is a member of my family... One of my children... A for baby. Camp Lisa Dog Boarding came recommended by a friend. After speaking with Lisa I was impressed with not only her professionalism but The questions she had for me. This showed me that she truly cared that the dogs she took in were a right fit for her boarding facility. Upon arrival I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. It was a luxury hotel for dogs. The facility offers radiant heat flooring, beautiful large expanded dog runs that are always open for the dogs to roam yet protected from any predators, with a constant fresh air flow, relaxing music, clean water, and much more. Lisa takes the time to get to know the dogs personality in order to match them up before putting them in their own space with other dogs. This was very important for me as I did not want my dog to be without "friends". The years of experience and knowledge Lisa has I found invaluable. The passion she has for animals shows in her work and in her beautiful facility. Hands-down this is the best Dog Boarding option in the Tri-County area if not further. I could not recommend this place more. I'm fairly certain my for baby was a bit disappointed when I picked her up and she was having the time of her life during her stay and will be excited to return when I plan another trip.

The 12 yr old girl was able to do all day play until she was tuckered out. I highly recommend Bark Park for boarding and we even had the girls professionally bathed for the first time in their lives and they came home fluffy and smelling so good! Christina even outfitted the girls with some nifty neckerchiefs! Try them...You'll love them!
