My pet had allergies that we thought was only food induced. It was because of the Dogwood Staff and careful monitoring/observation did we find my dog also allergic to fresh cut grass. It took us a few stays to find out, but the staff helped us figure out this mystery. After each stay, I opt in to my dog receiving a bath. She smells amazing after, better than the other grooming location I bring her to. I know four other pet parents who were also satisfied with their service and brings their pets here as well. The requirements for your pets is clear and easy to follow. Initially, I was worried about my pet due to hearing horror stories at other boarding locations. BUT DOGWOOD RANCH, I always feel reassured that my pet is at her own vacation with caretakers that care about her. If I can give more than 5 stars I would!

I had been searching for a mobile groomer because it's tough to take both pups at the same time and my rescue doesn't get along with other dogs and that can be an issue taking her. Shane was on time, so nice and gentle and their nails were done better than any of the groomers we've been to around here. My mastiff did so well with him despite it being their first meeting! I will definitely be using Shane for as long as possible and if you have any doggie anxiety issues or just want your fur babies to feel more relaxed at home you need to have Shane come out.

Amazing! Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Australian Shepherd. I originally found her through…read morea local Facebook recommendation page, and now I completely understand why so many people speak so highly of her. She was extremely responsive, communicative, and took the time to explain help me learn about my Aussie. Mary did an incredible job gently cleaning my girl's overgrown undercoat out without rushing the process. You can tell she truly cares about the comfort and wellbeing of the animals she works with. She also took extra precautions with my Aussie's sensitive hips, which meant a lot to me. She looks healthier, happier, and so much more comfortable. Her coat is soft and beautiful --plus she smells amazing. Highly recommend Mary if you're looking for someone experienced, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring with your pets.

She had my birds cage so nice and clean and my birds were singing their heart out when I got home. My older pit/ boxer mix is 12 and has medicine she has to take 2 times a day . She took her medicine without any problems and she even gave me a few toys on how to get her to take it without spitting it out. My pit puppy who chews everything was happy too and nothing chewed while I was gone. I get jealous now cuz my dogs are happier to get than me sometimes. Lol love her kindness and love for my animals. Would recommend her highly to anyone who needs help with their fur babies and feathered friends. Love her to pieces. Give her a call you will be glad you did.

Clean, thoughtful, expert, responsible, caring pet experiences. We found Wilf's Place by carefully…read morescouring pet trainers based on experience, professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness. We then went through a thorough in-person interview. Emma is kind, caring, and compassionate and brought the company's mascot, the adorably trained Wilfred. Wilfred looks like a plushie dog that has come to life and candidly demonstrates how a trained dog should act. Our dogs immediately took a liking to Emma and Wilfred and thankfully Emma took our dogs in spite of their rambunctious behavior when meeting Wilfred. Emma was prompt with communication and followed the meeting with forms to complete via email, and took attentive care to our questions. We left our fur babies in her care for 2 weeks. We got cute pictures regularly, and our dogs looked engaged, safe, clean, entertained, and happy. Upon our return home, everything came back cleaner than we sent it. This was both embarrassing (why didn't I clean that when I dropped it off?) and a surprise and delightful touch when you're tired from traveling. Please know that our senior dogs aren't easy: one has a bad heart and requires twice daily medication, and the other eats everything not nailed down. I know my dogs and I could tell that they had fun and candidly missed all the attention they got at Wilf's Place. They even got a bath and are better at sitting and obeying our commands than when we dropped them off. We have already booked Emma again for our next trip. If you care about your pets, care about sanitation, cleanliness, details, and your pet's happiness while you're on vacation, Emma is a great find.

We receive weekly written plans, which build upon previous weeks' lessons on forming good, dog- citizenship habits for our three-year-old Havanese. If we have questions, we can review our previous lesson plans or reach out to Emma via text. Emma saw our dog would benefit if he trained for a specific purpose. We are now focused on qualifying to pass the therapy dog test. Without Emma's weekly input we never would have understood how far our pup could expand his world. He is happier as are we thanks to Emma's patience and wisdom.

This review is long overdue but I need to let everyone know how wonderful Sandra and Joel are. My…read morefamily was taking a 2 week long vacation over Christmas and New Year's and we needed to find accommodations for my girl Blue, a rescue 4 year old lab with allergies. She's stayed at Sweet Doggies, which is fine, but for 2 weeks, I wanted to find a place that was more like a home and not a boarding establishment. Honestly, I'm not even sure how MDAB showed up on my feed because they are about an hour away from us, but I am so glad it did. We did a meet and greet and right off the bat, you could tell that they love what they do, and that they love the dogs and all animals. The first couple nights, Blue was a bit anxious but Sandra and Joel made her feel comfortable. Also we are able to manage her skin allergies at home, but they flared up while boarding, and they took care of her. I loved being able to watch videos on Instagram. Sandra is also a retired vet tech so you know you the dogs are in good hands. I only wish we weren't so far from each other so we could use them more often!

We started using Terry's service a a few years ago when we moved from Monterey to Salinas and our…read morelong time pet sitter declined to provide coverage here. We've always been 100% happy with Terry (and so have our pets). Terry goes above and beyond and we never have to worry about what's happening at home while we are away. In the beginning our crew consisted of a geriatric dog and cat. Our dog was quite sick and near the end of her life when Terry began caring for them. She was exceptionally attentive to the special needs of our dog, good at making health assessments and overall someone I could count on. We now have a new crew...two kitties. They are both young and healthy although the youngest does have pica. My cat's particular version of pica is that she will eat any filmy plastic, like plastic shopping bags, newspaper sleeves, cellophane, etc. We have to be constantly vigilant to ensure she doesn't have access to any of the "contraband". Terry understands the issue and always ensures that my cat doesn't have the opportunity to ingest any harmful substances. Terry had a special way with animals and they love her. We just returned home from a nine day vacation. My kitties had enjoyed so much attention from Terry that they were both very ho hum at our return...kind of like "oh, you're back." Typically my "pussy posse" as my husband calls them would have followed me all around the house but they didn't. This told me they had been given tons of attention while I was away. When Terry stays overnight for us, she brings in the mail and any packages, waters plants, takes out the trash, and keeps a watchful eye on whats going on in the neighborhood. She also leaves my home tidy and just the way I left it which is much appreciated. At my request Terri regularly texted us updates and pictures during our time away which eased any fleeting concern I might have. I highly recommend Terry as a pet sitter.
