Let me start by saying, my dog has been asked to leave by groomers and daycare. She's particular about her friends with 2 legs and 4 legs. I tell people she just needs patience, and someone with dog experience. I had an out of town meeting for 5 days and I didn't want to leave her at home because if something went wrong I was an 8 hour drive away. I needed to board her for 2 nights because I was able to keep her at the resort the remaining days. I looked online and Vineyard was near town but definitely "in the country" if that makes sense. I had to drive up a one lane dirt road yet it was about 5 miles from my event. I scheduled a tour, and we showed up early with tennis balls. You see, my pup is crazy about fetch and about tug. If you throw a tennis ball, she'll be your friend. The owner was definitely a dog person, and my dog was definitely being particular, but we did the tour and then one of the woman followed us back and tried to get to know my Maisy and Maisy wasn't having it, that is until I gave the woman a tennis ball. Then Maisy was her bestie :) They don't have indoor outdoor kennels where dogs can relieve themselves outside - they do need to be taken out - there are alot of yards, and alot of dogs. They had a bone shaped swimming pool, toddler beds for the dogs to sleep in (if they aren't destructive. You can order a kong, play time, pool time on top of the walks and other outdoor time. If your dog is daycare ok, I think that is part of the boarding experience. Mine isn't so she had 1-1 time with one of the guys who wore her out playing catch. She also got to go swimming. The price was really reasonable and 100% recommend this boarding kennel because my Maisy was happy to see me when I picked her up, but from the pictures they sent, she also had a great time at the kennels. read more

Our 2 fur babies Leo and Blossom have been with Vineyard Kennels for over 2 years. With our schedule requirements we started out full time day care and are now doing 1-2 days per week with boarding care sprinkled here and there as needed. The staff at Vineyard are phenomenal with obvious love and care for all animals. communication is a breeze via a variety of means with a willingness to accommodate any special needs your pup(s) may have. This past Halloween Leo and Blossom were Miss Piggy and Kermit so as Kermit would say "with good friends, you can't lose" or as we would say "with Vineyard Kennels, you can't lose". read more

Vineyard Kennels - Pet Boarding Near Me - Paso Robles, California

3 yr old high-energy GSD-Husky We absolutely recommend Vineyard Kennels! If we could give them more than 5 stars we would. We've tried plenty of day camps/boarding organizations and Vineyard Kennels sets such a high bar when it comes to overall care and consideration of each dog and their needs. Our pup is incredibly high energy and playful and the staff at Vineyard Kennels know exactly how to receive him and which other dogs to put him with. We trust no other dog care facility as much as we trust Vineyard Kennels and we vacation peacefully knowing our guys is in their care read more

Vineyard Kennels are the best! We always use them when it comes time for our doggies to have a vacation. They have discounts for multiple dogs, and are very easy to do business with. read more

I've never had to leave my dogs at a boarding facility and I was honestly terrified. They were so flexible scheduling me for a tour and answering ALL my neurotic dog mom questions, they gave me a lot of confidence in them. I appreciated that they told me every morning they evaluate each dog to pair them with a good group. Upon pick up day I scheduled them to get bathed, they told me it would just be a simple bath but honestly both my dogs looked amazing! I appreciated being able to see and hear some of the employees interact with dogs and they truly sound like they love them all! Overall for someone who was nervous about leaving their dogs behind, it was a really great experience, I picked up my boys clean, happy and well taken care of. We will be back! read more

A kennel run by dog-lovers. Our puppy loves to visit, even for overnights. He especially loves the swimming pool! Happy dog!

I don't have a lot of experience with boarding dogs but we needed to find a place for a day. We had boarded our previous pup many years ago at a different place and didn't recall the very strong, strange smell as we walked in. I asked to get a tour but was told we couldn't; was given a quick reason but didn't know what it meant. But she was very professional and appeared to be knowledgeable. She was reassuring. At pick up, I asked if I could get notes on how our pup did; the staff did try to find someone but seemed they really didn't have too much to say other than she did fine, slept, and ate. It would be nice if they documented some notes for first time guests. She really stink of "kennel". I gave 3 stars because I liked the fact it was open space for my pup to run around and staff is friendly but can't comment more or less since I didn't see myself the facility other than the dog kennels that you could see from the parking lot had a cloth tarp for shade. We did see what looks like a dog pool and artificial turf area being built which looks exciting. read more

This is the best daycare/kennel I have ever taken my dogs! They are so accommodating and have done many options for your dog's stay. They also have dog training classes. Incredible! read more

The crew at Vineyard Kennel are always encouraging in letting me feel at ease about leaving my two bro's there whether it's for a short or long stay, my dogs are always in a good mood and of course very happy when i return for them. I do recommend "Vineyard Kennels" to all pet people! read more

Vineyard Kennels - My happy furbaby as happy as can be from his lil vacation at Vineyard Kennels - Pet Boarding Near Me - Paso Robles, California

By recommendation of a friend, I started taking my pup to Vineyard Kennels for daycare. From the moment I received my first phone call from the owner for a phone interview, my dog and I felt welcome. My dog is new to my home and needed more training than I anticipated. The entire staff has been working with me and her on staying consistent with commands and requests from me, and giving me tips as well! They have been very conscious of keeping each pup safe and healthy, which also gives me great peace of mind. I cannot thank you all enough for how much time and effort you put into the care for each dog- it is very appreciated! read more

We just picked up our pups from staying here for the last 4 days. It was our first time and it definitely won't be the last. We were very happy with all of the staff that helped us and we can tell our pups were very well taken care of. Thank you to everyone at Vineyard Kennels, we'll definitely be back!! read more

my dog stayed two nights here & came home with Dehydration and diarrhea. would not recommend at all! read more

My husband and I are new to the area and are currently still waiting for the final touches to our new home To be done. We are currently resigning at the Paso Robles inn. Unfortunately they do not allow big pets here but they did tell us about Vineyard Kennels right down the way. Unfortunately when we went there it was difficult to find and the blond-haired gal that we talk to was very snarky and seem to be intoxicated & smelt strongly of alcohol needless to say a very undesirable experience read more

I boarded my three dogs over Christmas. First off, the place reeked like urine. All three dogs got sick with Kennel Cough, despite being vaccinated. When I called to inform the kennel that my dogs were sick, they told me that they had not had any cases of Kennel Cough and that my dogs most likely just had colds. Needless to say, I will never take my dogs there again. read more

FIVE barks from Dylan, our happy mini Aussie, who just came home from his sixth stay at Vineyard Kennels. Vineyard Kennels was recommended to us by someone we met at the Cambria dog park and she said she'd checked out several other kennels before choosing this one. But even with that strong endorsement, I had some reservations at my first visit. The kennel is old (and it shows) and smelled like dogs. Yes, I know that's a ridiculous statement, given that it is a dog kennel, but I've been to other kennels that had a more sterile odor. That said, I am soooooo glad I was able to see past that. Our dog has been to other kennels that he disliked intensely. His reaction to this place is the opposite. As soon as we let him out of the car to drop him off, he bounds up the steps to the office with great enthusiasm. The staff at Vineyard Kennels did a great job of assessing my dogs's personality and temperament, and they place him with a play group in which he does best. The schedule offers a good mix of active play and exercise with rest periods and down time. The outdoor play yards are dusty but shaded by trees and other materials that protect the dogs from the intense sun and heat in Paso Robles, plus they have kiddie pools of water for the dogs to wade in and cool down in the summer. They also have super cute beds with soft mattresses and blankets that are raised off the floor. Each kennel has a good amount of room to move around too. read more

A friendly place, a convenient location. But...I wish they have a better ventilation system. The first thing you notice, stepping into the place is the the stale smelly air. I also noticed that they may not pay close attention to keeping the water bowls filled; my dog came home v thirsty the both time we used the place. Improvement on these 2 points would make this a good place for every vacation ; otherwise we used this place as a backup... read more

Wonderful boarding experience! We were in town for a wedding and needed a place to board our two high energy dogs. It was really important for us to board where they would get adequate exercise. We didn't get to town until almost 8 pm but Sabria was flexible and met us to check us in! The check in process was very easy and they keep the information about your dog on the kennel so we knew they were getting the right food. We boarded them for 2 nights and when we picked them up they were having a great time! Great location, great staff, and well organized! Tip: Our dogs were really dirty when we got them, so if you don't want a dirty dog in the car I would recommend paying for a bath. It wasn't an issue for us, just showed us they had fun! read more

Vineyard Kennels - A very tired Oakley in the car after boarding! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Paso Robles, California

My Boyfriend and I stayed in Paso Robles for the weekend with our puppy Maggie. We decided to go to Hearst Castle, and needed a kennel for the day. We chose this one because of their location, and were very satisfied! It was $10 for the day. They fed her, let her play with other dogs and outside. A review on Google said they have 10,000 sq ft outdoor play area. They had a bunch of dogs, and as Maggie is quite shy, we requested she had her own kennel, which they said was not a problem. They close at 4 on Sundays. When dropping and picking up Maggie, the employee was very nice and seemed like he truely liked dogs. This wasn't a Ritz Carlton for dogs, but was surely acceptable, especially with their convenient location off of the 101 and 46. read more

Every morning when I drop my giant, slobbery, hyper puppies off they SPRINT to the self service corral. When I say "Who wants to go to Daycare?!" every morning they lose their fluffy heads. On weekends, they literally look at me all day with sad slobbery faces asking, "Why can't we go to daycare dad ??" My dogs love it at Vineyard Kennels, and the real bonus is, so do we! Their staff is extremely caring and accommodating to our dogs needs. *Bear needs to spend some time alone because he just had something done at the vet? No problem. Nala has to rock the cone of shame for a few days? No problem at all - Whether its Sabria, Jason, or anyone else on staff, they always take care of us. It never ceases to amaze me that amidst the hundreds of dogs they see on a daily basis, they know my two so well. We have very busy work schedules and depend on the reliability and consistency of this kennel. Thanks again guys - for everything! Dennis, Amanda, Bear and Nala. read more

This place wasn't for us and we needed to find a place that our dog will feel comfortable since she is shy. I apologize for the hasty review Many people seem to like it and we just came in at probably a bad time. read more

Just got back from a few days wine tasting in Paso. This kennel was perfectly located and right down the road from where we stayed at the Marriott. The staff was super friendly and the place was very clean. One day we decided to take the dogs to the beach. When we got back to Vineyard Kennels our dogs eagerly headed straight for the back door, which was a great sign. I would not hesitate to use their services again. Their prices are great for what I have payed at other places. Wish they were right near my place! read more

We take our GSD mix pup to daycare twice a week and board him at Vineyard whenever we go out of town. Our dog LOVES it. He knows we're going because we skip a walk those mornings and he literally wiggles with joy. He's always running up the stairs to the front office with excitement and comes home happy. The staff take great care of him and always greet him by name. Thank you Vineyard Kennels for loving on our furry friend. Love, Hobbes and family. read more

Not sure why, but my pup did not want to rerun for day care. I suspect she might have been penned during the 3 hour break mid day. If your dog is used to kennels or confinement I'm sure they will do fine. Our dog likes a little more room to play. The staff was very friendly. read more

We boarded our 3 labs on July 18th for one night. The girl that checked us in was great! It took some coaxing from her to get all of them back into the kennel area, and she was really positive and sweet with the pups. When we came the next morning to pick up our dogs, they were brought out right away. Our dogs had been playing in their yard and pool. They were somewhat wet and muddy, which we absolutely didn't mind. All three of them looked so happy! We were only charged $50 for all three of them. Down in the OC, we would've paid around $40 per dog and would've paid extra for play time. We were so pleased with our experience! The next time that we head up to Paso and need to board our dogs for the night, Vineyard Kennels will definitely be our place! read more

This was our first time boarding our dog, and we were excited to find a last minute spot that had such great reviews. However, as a new and cautious dog mom, I was not at ease leaving her. The kennel is definitely not going for presentation... I walked in and while I realize it is a dog kennel, I couldn't stand the smell. I wish the staff seemed more interested in learning about her, as I'm sure you could tell I was hesistant to board her, but the process was pretty run of the mill. I offered more info than they probably wanted (and didn't ask about). We picked her up and she seemed happy. I did schedule a bath for her but when we checked out I was told the bath could only be payed for with cash or check, separately. (?) Good thing we had some extra cash randomly in the car. We got her home and I am 90% sure she was not actually bathed. All in all, Vineyard Kennels was not for us. read more

This is based on the fact that this facility still has not called me back to see about using there services. Super bummed as I live in north county and really the only option. Wasn't meant to be. I see there are a few in SLO and grateful that my trip is south this time. read more

I didn't board my puppy. They don't take them at 3 months but they answered the phone quickly and replied to my email with in 24 hours. I will be sure to use them when my puppy is older. They were super polite. read more

We kenneled our dog for the first time ever at Vineyard Kennels so we weren't sure what to expect and honestly I was shocked. The smell upon entering the office was horrific. Even with wearing a mask I had to go outside and catch my breath. I was told that it was only because they hadn't cleaned yet but when we picked up it was just as bad! The office staff was very welcoming and nice but it was hard to get past the smell, dirty beds, and toys in the kennels. Our dog was happy when we picked him up and it appears they cared for him but I'm not sure we can get past the conditions. read more

This is Jason Matthews from the Forever Fresno Show and Sergeant Dixon who is the co-host on her show is always raving about how great this kennel is. They take great care of the dogs here and they are the most responsible kennel we have ever heard of. I also have personally taking my dog here and he was very well taken care of. they have indoor air conditioning and the dogs get to play all day long. they make sure your dog gets everything they need. I would not hesitate if I were you to take your dog here. read more

I honestly don't know how this place could get 5 stars. We chose this place to board our family pets based on the 5 star reviews. We left our fully vaccinated and healthy, clean dogs with this kennel for about a week. Over the phone and in person, the people that worked there seemed very conscientious and reassuring as this was the first time we had ever left our pups. Unfortunately, when we picked up our dogs after our trip, I found that they had been moved to a different, much smaller kennel without any of the original accoutrements at drop-off. In addition to losing all the comfort toys and treats (which were clearly labeled) my dogs contracted kennel cough and an ear infection from this place. Taking your dirty, smelly and ailing fur babies to the veterinarian right when you get back from vacation is very distressing and expensive. To add insult to injury, Vineyard Kennels made no attempt to assuage any of our concerns, frustration or disappointment with their services. We have never been back. We now board our dogs with North County Animal Hospital where the facility is clean, the kennels roomy and temperature controlled. The staff is kind and professional and my dogs love it! read more

Happy with the staff. They are friendly, mellow, and great with animals! The dogs are cared for and they seem to really get the individual needs of each animal. Kennels are clean and my dogs are happy while they are there! I would recommend Vineyard Kennels's to anyone who really loves their animals and wants them to be in a safe environment. read more

Found this place thanks to Yelp! We were looking for a place last minute to take our dog while we wine tasted during the day. They were very flexible and super accommodating! This is the first time I have dropped my fur baby off for day care so I was a little nervous but when we picked him up he was so happy and looked great- didn't even seem to have missed us! I would most definitely bring him back knowing he was well taken care of and this fur mama's worries were put to ease! read more

I was very happy when I picked our dogs up. They were excited to see us but also went and said by to the staff during our exit. That right there says a lot. They accomidated our dogs and let us know that they were very well behaved and seemed liked they really did love each other. There were no reports of fighting or excessive barking. This is now our go to place when we go out of town. And it only cost $190 for all three dogs from Friday to Monday!!!! That is literally half the price we paid at the old place!!! Easy on the bank account and very loving towards our fur babies. read more

We've boarded our dogs at a few kennels in the past, this is their favorite by far. They always seem so exited when we leave them. The staff is amazing and know all three dogs by name, and whenever we see anyone from the staff around town they remember our dogs. A wonderful place to leave your dogs with an amazing staff that will love your animals. Couldn't recommend them enough! read more

We stayed at the Paso Robles Inn but needed a place for the dogs for 2 nights while we went wine tasting and to a BBQ. The Vinyard Kennel responded via e-mail for our reservation, was responsive to our needs and allowed us to pick the dogs up early, for an early departure. They open at 8 but said no problem to pick up at 7am. read more

These folks could not have been more wonderful. We boarded Laila for the night, and she is not used to kennels and was very nervous. They were nice enough to find her a special room away from the other dogs (they can't always do this, but were able to on our weekend). The people were great - especially Sabria. It's obvious this is not just a business to them, but a passion. We'll be back! read more
