My pup loves it here and every time I take her she comes back pooped. Big bonus.. she's very high…read moreenergy and for her to be pooped and me get some down time = yeahhh :) I had them trim her nails which was a very reasonable price (thank goodness) and they did a great job compared to some of the grooming companies I've taken her to in the past. The staff is always so sweet to her and accept her crazy self with smiles and care. They offer a bunch of different services, like day care, a trip to the beach, grooming and boarding. I just wish they had cameras to check in on them or that the day care pawrents also got pics of the day or report cards. I know it might be a lot but that's why I think cameras would be nice. Also, I'd love if they had an individual play time or walk, since my girl seems to not potty while there and is always so thirsty when I get her. She's easily distracted so, she's the type that needs down time. Nothing to do with them just the type of pup and treatment she needs. They have separate areas for small, medium and large, so you pup will be in a suitable place. They do observe them playing as well. I did also appreciate that over assessment day, she was in heat and had her diaper / Chasity like belt on but they wanted to make sure that she didn't gave a bad experience, so they were cautious with her going into the group.

My dog Lido is the light of my life, and that's putting it mildly - meaning I can be a little over bearing and generally don't let him stay just anywhere. I can honestly say Lynda is one of the only people that's not a family member that I trust wholeheartedly with his care. It also helps that he has become best friends with one of her recent foster fails I love that they only take small (or very calm larger dogs), allow them to cuddle in bed and most importantly only use positive reinforcement. I always trust that he is being treated as if he was one of their own. Could not recommend Lynda or her services enough. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Our mini golden doodle has been going to Vicki's for 4 yrs and it's the best decision we ever made for him. He can't wait to see his doggy & wrangler friends every week and the ranch is a doggy heaven. A few standout things to note: *Vicki and the wranglers are extremely professional and are true dog lovers. *The pickup and drop-off service is really convenient, especially if you have an early start at work or need to go into the office. Our dog absolutely LOVES pickup and drop-off. He sits by the window waiting for the van to pull in and then is overjoyed when the wrangler comes to the door. *Our mini golden doodle always (and I mean always) comes home happy and tired. The ranch provides a space for our dog to run around and socialize to his fullest. *Quick communication and easy tools to schedule & message. Whenever we have a change in plans or need to drop a quick note, Vicki's team are quick to respond and always look to provide solutions or collaborate. * A special extra thing they do is celebrate birthdays and holidays. The pictures are SO cute and the dogs all genuinely seem happy when they celebrate.

We LOVE Rascal Ranch. It is the absolute best dog day care in existence…read more First, I love that they pick up and drop off from our home. The convenience factor of Rascal Ranch is very high. I get our pup dressed in her harness in the morning, and she's picked up between 9am - 11am dependent on the day's schedule. Second, they put a huge emphasis on safety which provides great peace of mind during the day. Third, our crazy, rambunctious Vizsla is actually tired when she gets home every day. It's usually enough tiredness to carry her through the weekend after a full day of ranching. Vicki and her team are incredibly professional, the pick up/drop off is seamless, and they're very helpful if I ever need to cancel or recheck Lena ranch day. Plus, I get adorable pictures of Cinnamon and her friends uploaded to a Google photos album every few days!

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.

She is professional and punctual. Her knowledge and expertise has taught me so much about my dog and his behavioral needs, ensuring I understood every step of the process while creating a stronger bond between me and my dog.

They thrived all year round and always came back tired, content, and well-cared for. Tato can be a little weird in a big pack of dogs. But in this environment, she was happy and acclimated very quickly. I would see how happy she was on the instagram posts--she's never like that at home or at the dog park. Like with any daycare or hike in California, it's smart to keep your dogs on flea/tick prevention. During high season, we did have to pull a couple ticks off our pups, but that's just part of living in California -- not a reflection on the owner or the service. Most of the year it was never an issue. We were so sad when we moved because we know we'll never find anyone quite like Craig where we are now. If you're lucky enough to be local, this is truly a gem for both dogs and their humans!
