Aloha now under new ownership is top shelf. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because I know they are working on further improvements. You couldn't not find a better person than Carri to tend to your pets. She has it all; Professional training, Show Dog competition, grooming, boarding, and a unmatched TLC for animals. Need good care for your special family members? They will charge you more if you drop off the two legged ones Naw, just a jest. The charge is the same. Ok, that was a jest as well There are some very good kennels in our area, but none better. Aloha is the place for go when you need quality pet care and boarding. read more

We live in Murphys and have used Aloha located at Murphys Grade Road and French Gulch Road for many years to board our two dogs who are, in a word, spoiled. When the previous owners retired after over twenty years and closed the business it created a serious issue for us of where to board our dogs when we needed to get out of town and could not bring them along. But this story has a very happy ending... new owners for this business were found and reopened the business recently. The owner we met is named Kari and from our initial meeting through picking Koko and Blue up after four days of traveling away from home we were very pleased with their care and devotion to all things dog. Stop in and check it out. I am sure you will be as pleased as we were. 4+ stars here. read more

Aloha Boarding & Training - Pet Boarding Near Me - Murphys, California

New Owner is amazing! We tried Aloha last weekend for an overnight board for our two dogs. I was super anxious about it but Carri was so nice and immediately put us at ease. We had a quick tour, basic and acceptable facilities in my opinion. When we returned to pick up our dogs they were completely fine, even our shy lab that I was concerned about seemed spunky and happy. I think they even got baths! :) We will definitely trust Carri with our furchildren again. Aloha! read more

We brought our older dog here for grooming on recommendations. I'm not sure what happened but our dog came back to us with cuts, powder clots in her ears and her anal gland damaged. We had to take her to the vet! $250. Later, the vet said that our little dog was handled roughly and her anal gland was torn. I called Aloha to find out what was going on there and was told that I was talking to the owner and that she personally did the grooming (in a very rude tone)! She also said if we weren't happy she would re-do our pet.. I don't know how you re-do cuts and tearing an anal gland but I was calling for an explanation and possibly an apology. Did not get either.. be careful when you leave your loved ones in the care of these people. Not sure why they get such good reviews read more

Aloha is under NEW management!! What a wonderful difference that has made with the staff! I feel incredibly comfortable leaving my shy Labradork here after the friendly tour of the spacious facilities. Carrie is obviously a professional dog handler, but her genuine compassion for every dog she meets is what calmed all of my concerns. My furbaby will get lots of cuddles & personal attention while she stays at Aloha! Another great change is the hours for drop-off & pick up - very reasonable! read more

We love Carri and Aloha! She takes special care with our old guy and he is well taken care of while we are on vacation. Very happy that Carri took over and brought Aloha back to life! read more

We boarded our three large dogs for the first time and I was pretty nervous. Carri immediately put me at ease with her calmness and kindness. The girls did great and seemed like happy campers. We're going to take them to Aloha again next month for a week and I will be able to relax and know they are in good hands while enjoying my trip. read more

It is always hard to put our dogs in a kennel, but sometimes it has to be done. I give Aloha a super five stars. Carrie gave us comprehensive updates when I texted and you can tell that she really cares unlike some others that shall remain nameless. She said nice and interesting things about their personalities and even gave my golden doodle a warm eye wash (which he frequently needs) twice a day without my even mentioning it. I really appreciated that extra love and care! So glad that Aloha has reopened with stellar service and peace of mind. A million Thanks! read more

Our first trial run at boarding for our 11 year old Dalmation was a success. Carrie was great at putting us at ease....and although we were only away 1 night...we received a "happy" picture of our dog outside enjoying some sun. We will be using Aloha again in the future. Kennels indoor are spacious. Attention taken as to our dogs likes and dislikes....above average in my opinion. read more

I left my spoiled Yorkie for the first time since I adopted him 2 years ago at Aloha. I was very concerned about leaving him as he is so attached to me (and independent). While he was glad to see me, he wasn't ecstatic when I picked him up after 12 days. When I took him back the next day to see his reaction, he was happy to go back inside! He came home cleaner than he was when he went in--even a little cleaning up of overgrown facial hair! I won't hesitate to leave him there again. read more

We were visiting Worldmark and needed a place for our pixiebob cats to stay the night at. We called the vet first but they weren't open on a Sunday so they recommended Aloha. Carrie was so accommodating and loved on our babies. The cages were floor to ceiling with windows they could look out of. We were very impressed and would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to find a temporary home for their pets! read more

If you have a dog and live in Calaveras County this is the place if you need somewhere for your pet stay while you are away. The staff is amazing and there is plenty of space for your dog to play. They do overnights stays too. read more

What a gem to find while visiting in the foothills. We needed a place to board our dogs for a few days and came across this kennel. The staff was amazing and accommodating with our last minute boarding and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my kids here. I definitely recommend them! read more

Carri and her entire team are a gift to those of us with furry kids in the foothills! My boy is well loved and taken care of when he stays at Aloha. I get pictures of play time and can reach Carri or her staff to get updates any time. I highly recommend Aloha for all your pet boarding needs. They will be loved and safe. Thank you Carri for all you do! read more

Although from appearance the facility looks legitimate, the staff is deplorable. Upon meeting Karen, the office manager or whatever her function, one becomes aware of her "superiority complex". Unaware of the times the place actually accepts new visitors, I was greeted with that all-knowing sigh of disgust. It gets worse. Upon picking my dogs up, I was short in my bank account and had to transfer funds from my PayPal, and juggle funds like most of us do. Another customer asked this horrid woman if you pay before or after services. Karen replied, in a bitchy, superior tone, "Well we trust MOST of our customers to pay after services." She accented the word most and glanced over at me. This was not my imagination folks! This kind of treatment was unnecessary, unprofessional and downright rude. If Karen treats our dogs like she treats her customers, which I'm sure she does, our dogs are mistreated as well. As for the accommodations? It's a kennel folks. Nothing special here but a very unhappy, rude whatever function she has worker. She won't be having my business again and if she does get yours, tune in to the superior attitude. It's not difficult to miss. Try Rover, a dog boarding app. Genuine people. Genuine care. None of this bull****. No. Not Aloha. An adios is more appropriate. read more

My dog was hesitant staying, but I didn't have a choice since I didn't know of anywhere else to board him. When I checked in... the lady was SO RUDE! She acted like a teasing child with hatred in her eyes. The next day I was there early to pick up my dog. I could here him barking from up in the hills and his tail was not wagging as usual. This is when I decided to look for another place. I asked around about this place and I was told a few things. Do your research! Why was my dog unhappy and scared? read more

Be careful! We brought our dogs here to check in on a Sunday and the owners barely made eye contact with us and literally took our dogs back without even looking at them. The owner Art just put out his hands and said, "dogs". It made me sick to leave them there, but we had no where else to go on a Sunday. First thing the next morning, we brought them to Pet Bath House where they were treated like royalty. They could roam free in the space and were not stuck in kennels. When we picked them up a week later, the ladies all had nicknames for them and truly knew their personalities! read more

My husband and I visited the area for a week and boarded our puppy at Aloha on the recommendation of the nearby Worldmark resort that we were staying at. We were extremely impressed with the communication with Carrie and her staff and the great care they gave our dog. We couldn't have felt any more welcome and also that we had found a great place to have our dog stay nearby while we traveled. They were also extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop off schedule, as were traveling on day trips and desired to take our dog along with us during the day and bring her back to board in the evenings. They never once made us feel like were any kind of hassle to them with our irregular schedule (we would text ahead of time to give them a heads up of each days plans), always greeted with pleasure and gratitude from them. read more

We have been using Aloha for over 5 years. We cannot say enough about how great it is to have a facility we trust when we travel to places we can't take our dog. The dog clearly gives Aloha a 4 paw rating-when we pull in, she can't wait to greet Karen and Art (the owners), and that says a lot. Their facility is very well maintained, they are both dog lovers, and Karen has amazing credentials in agility training. I can recommend Aloha without reservation and you can be sure your pet will be very well taken care of. read more

Our 5 year old Australian Shepherd just died at Aloha Boarding & Training on October 5, 2016. We had been bringing him there for 5 years. Our experience had been good until this last time. He was a very active, lively and healthy dog. He had just had his annual vet checkup and scored excellent. We dropped him off on Sunday morning (10/2/16) and got a phone call from Art on Wednesday morning (10/5/16) that Rusty had died. He had found him in a pool of blood in his kennel, barely breathing. Rusty died on the way to Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital. Art told us that Rusty had been vomiting and had bloody diarrhea on Monday morning, but they thought he would be ok. They did not call us. They did not call the vet or take him to the vet. They did nothing. We are devastated and in shock at their negligence in protecting and caring for our dog. We would have thought that the amount of time Art & Karen have been in business that they would have an established policy of contacting the dog owner if there was a problem and decide the action needed. They did not do this. We cannot get the thought of Rusty bleeding to death alone out of our minds. They did tell us that we did not owe them anything for the days he was there. That is an insult considering that we lost our best friend due to their negligence, in our opinion. Rusty's death may have been prevented if Art and Karen had taken action sooner...when he was displaying signs of difficulty. When speaking to them about this, Art seemed sympathetic, but Karen seemed cold hearted. We would not recommend this kennel to anyone who cares about their pet. read more
