A stay with…read moreSierra Dogs is akin to a vacation at a first-rate canine playground with plenty of opportunities for physical exercise, mental stimulation and social interaction. We can't help but smile and chuckle while viewing online photos of our pup running at top speed with her dog buddies or taking a break on the deck. Although we miss being apart from our wonderful companion, we are comforted knowing that our dog is supervised while happily frolicking around with dog friends and provided with professional, skilled, and nurturing care. When reunited with our dog, she retains all skills we have instilled and is clean and well-behaved. We are very thankful for Eden and her caring team!

Doesn't get any better. I got a French bulldog puppy and needed some help training him. I sent him…read moreto Sierra dogs for a 6 week board and train program and it was the best decision I ever made. Eden promptly responded to my initial email and patiently answered all of my questions. It was hard having him so far away (I am based in Palo Alto), but I would drive twice as far to have Eden take care of my dog. Each day Eden would post a photo on Facebook, so I could watch him grow and she was always available to talk on the phone if I wanted an update. Eden transformed my 3 month old puppy into a well-trained, well-socialized, very happy dog. My puppy knows how to come, sit, stay, leave it, drop it, shake, and walk on a leash. He now comes with me to work and is the best-trained dog in my office. Now that my puppy has graduated from board and train, I look forward to using Sierra Dogs as a boarding place. (FYI: It's a convenient location for people who are heading up to Tahoe for the weekend.) I highly recommend Sierra Dogs!

Fantastic vet office. My dog is especially tough to take to the vet after a traumatizing incident…read moreearly in his pupperhood. Despite this, these people are just fantastic with him. They are always very patient, understanding and encouraging. Not only that - but they don't try and empty your bank account in your time of need. Some vets will try and sell you on some ridiculously over-priced "plan" before haggling to something more reasonable. Not here. They've diligently worked with me for months on a tricky skin issue which we finally have gotten under control. One time he had gotten bit in his face and there was no way I could bring him into the office without total chaos. They were very creative and drew up a plan with me to sedate him in the car and then take him in. They drained and cleaned his wound. Even with sedation, emergency visit and the special circumstances, I walked away spending a few hundred (versus what I'd expect would be closer to 1k+ elsewhere). Because my pupper is SO difficult at the vet, I've been to *dozens* of vets in EDC and Sacramento county. This is, hands down, one of the best I've visited. Strongly recommend!!!

She has created a really cat friendly kitty hotel in a brand new, clean, climate controlled [space]. There are individual houses for the boarders, plus ample space for climbing, watching birds and critters out the windows. If desired, the cats are allowed to interact with each other during Cristine's supervised play time. Our "Two" had never been boarded before, and was unsurprisingly hesitant at first, but as her week wore on I could tell by the regular photos that Cristine sent me that she was really relaxing and enjoying her vacation while we were away. We've already made reservations for her for our Fall trip in a few months. Little Lion House provides the kind of environment that we are happy to trust our kitty's care to. Thanks so much Cristine!!

I appreciated their transparency and taking the time to take us through the yard and kennel where the dogs spend some of their time. There was lots of shade and interesting niches for our dogs to explore. Alicia and Jeremy talked about the temperaments of the other dogs staying with ours. They seem to have it figured out as far as ensuring that all the dogs are on the same level so that there's no aggression. She reviewed our dogs' shot records. All of this really helped me get comfortable that our dogs were in good hands. We picked up our dogs after their stay without any hitch. If I may provide some constructive feedback it would be just that the place needs more $$$ investment and declutter, but they seem to be making improvements. Overall, we were happy with our dogs' care and we would bring them for boarding again.

Stephanie was super helpful and gave us names of other recommended sitters, as well as providing information on their boarding services. She genuinely seemed like she was more interested in making sure our dogs were taken care of than getting us to spend our money with them specifically. Next time we have more advance warning for our trip, we'll be going with Happy Paws.

Nosework was so enjoyable for both me & Tess that we competed in several NACSW trials, successfully earning ribbons in Levels 1, 2, & 3. Unfortunately Tess passed in October 2021. I miss her everyday. She was a wonderful dog & great companion...thanks in large part to Ericka & her positive, effective training methods.

You are given the pricing up front. The price we paid was quite reasonable, especially considering it's a licensed, insured, and bonded business with employees, vs random independent contractors. 2 different gals came to our house to care for our cats while we were gone - Amy and Payton. Both were prompt and took good care of our cats. Amy was exceptionally kind and stayed longer than she was booked for - just to play with our cats! We really appreciated this, since it was our first night away and I know our cats were feeling anxious. It was such a relief to have a business available to us to come to our house to take care of our animals! While I'm sure there are tons of great pet sitters on the various 3rd party pet sitting sites , we would've been too nervous. Being able to hire a business to send people to our house was a big relief! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.
