Jess is AMAZING! We were looking to board our 4 year old Labrador for 15 days during our trip…read moreoverseas and we are so glad we decided on Jess. From the initial contact, Jess was courteous and accommodating. We made the trip to her place for the initial evaluation and immediately it was apparent that she has a lot of experience and she loves what she does. Her farm is beautiful and we were at ease knowing our pup will roam around freely during her stay there. Jess is diligent about sending updates and photos. It was clear from the photos that our fur baby was having a blast with Jess. Jess even offers pick up and drop off from the Bay Area and this was very convenient for us. She was very accommodating to plan around our flight schedules. Overall, we couldn't be happier with boarding our dog with Jess.

Lone Pine Dogs Daycare was such a special find for me as a travel registered nurse. I was in…read moreSebastopol/Santa Rosa from Nov '22 to July '23 on assignment and was really stressed about finding a legitimate daycare for my standard poodle, John Wick. Pat came highly recommended by my airBNB host and I am so grateful because John Wick was always well taken care of and loved. He would be so excited to see the owner of Lone Pine Dogs Daycare, Pat. He was also well fed and Pat ensured all of my dogs food allergies were addressed and followed. There are some other (unnecessarily expensive) dog places around Sebastopol but I finally decided to use Lone Pine Dogs Daycare as my pets primary place because I could just tell that my dog was way more happier and well taken care of at Pats place. I would 100% recommend.

It gives me such peace of mind knowing that while I'm away, my dog isn't just being looked after--he's being cared for with the same heart and dedication that I would give. I'm so grateful to have found Alexis and can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family.

We had a great first month at Olivet Kennel with our dog, Jack…read more The staff and owner do an excellent job caring for our 90 lbs Tamaskan. We like that the staff understands Jack and are careful not to overwhelm him with too many other dogs all at once. They are taking a careful and tailored approach for Jack, which is exactly what we were hoping for when we started with the daycare program. I met the owner, Wendy, the other day when I picked Jack up from daycare. She was checking in on the dogs and staff. She is kind, caring, and seems to be very knowledgeable about all kinds of dog breeds and behaviors. The office staff also deserves positive feedback, they kindly changed my daycare appointment today at no extra cost when I couldn't make the appointment. It's also the reason for writing this positive review today. Overall, Olivet Kennel is a professional run facility with an online booking system that still feels like a family business that you can trust. The kennel is clean and inviting. So far, we are very happy with their service!

Be very cautious!…read more My dog got very sick after staying here and almost died. The manager Stephanie admitted that this season was very active. It seems unprofessional to let sick dogs stay there but I guess they just care about money. Also I had prepaid for a daycare package. When I tried to use it they told me that it had expired during the time my dog was sick. I told Stephanie there's no way I could use the prepaid package while my dog was sick. She had not been in contact with any other dogs so I am 100% certain she caught it at Olivet. They never did honor the daycare pass I paid for and told me "sorry but it expired". Seemed odd for them to be so stubborn about a policy after my dog almost died because of them allowing sick dogs to stay there. I paid over $2000 in vet bills because of them and my dog nearly died. You've been warned, proceed with caution.

K9 Activity Club in Santa Rosa has been one of the best choices I have ever made for my little girl…read moreScout. From the moment we walked in for our initial assessment, Ashley welcomed us with such genuine warmth that I felt comfortable right away. I was thrilled to learn that she would also be our primary trainer. Ashley has a true gift for connecting with both dogs and people. She trained Scout with patience and kindness, and she trained me as well. She taught me how to understand Scout's cues, how to reinforce her progress at home, and how to feel confident in supporting her growth. We also worked with Geraldine and Sophie. Their calm, knowledgeable approach helped Scout grow in confidence and joy. Scout comes home happy, relaxed, and proud of herself, which tells me everything I need to know. Jeremiah was consistently kind and attentive during early pick ups, and Sarah was extraordinary with scheduling. She rearranged things for me more than once with kindness and flexibility. She always made me feel like Scout and I were a priority. The facility is spotless, the staff are deeply knowledgeable, and the dogs are treated with real love. K9 Activity Club has completely transformed the relationship I have with Scout. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

We live in Los Angeles, but turned to K-9 Activity club because Dolly has been happy there in the past. We wound up leaving Dolly for one more week that we originally planned; K-9 accommodated us, much to our relief. Staff showered Dolly with love and we received pictures of big-smile Dolly, sitting in the shade, in her "report cards." Dolly was even more fit and chill when we reunited. It is totally worth it for us to drive up from Los Angeles to Sebastopol to board Dolly among her K-9 family. Peace of mind is everything. A giant thank you to Alicia and K-9 staff! We appreciate you!!!

I was having issues with my…read morerottie being over-hyper, not respecting space, excessive leash pulling, resource guarding and all around being a very stubborn typical Rottweiler. We decided to do a 3 week board and train, and It was the best thing for him! He has settled down so much, developed a routine, stays at my side while walking/on leash and the resource guarding has gone down significantly too. Jacob not only trains the dogs, but trains the owner too. Proper leash handling, correcting bad behavior, phrases/words/tones to use and even tips to help us with our dogs motion sickness in the car. Jacob is an incredible trainer especially with the stubborn dogs! He also boards my dog while I'm away and my dog always feels comfortable and comes home happy and in the best health! 10/10 couldn't recommend a trainer more!

I was always hesitant to trust someone I didn't already know to come into my home and care for my beloved cats. Laura put us at ease right away. We spoke on the phone initially, then scheduled a Meet & Greet where my husband, myself, and our two Ragdoll boys got to hang out with and get to know Laura. Right away, I understood that Laura is a kind, dependable, intuitive, professional person who truly loves what she does, AND has a sense of humor. She kept in touch with us via text messaging every day for the 5 days we were gone, sending updates and cute photos of our boys. Knowing that our kitties were in good hands with someone trustworthy made all the difference for us during our time away. We will absolutely contact Laura the next time we go out of town. I can't recommend her enough!
