Finding Robyn, the owner of Gentle Genes Pet Care, has been an absolute game changer for us. Our…read morelittle Shih Tzu-Poodle mix has always been terrified of groomers -- shaking, crying, and clearly stressed the entire time. It broke our hearts. From the very first visit with Robyn, everything changed. She provides a truly personalized, calm, and loving experience. Our pup is never locked in a kennel or stuck in a loud room full of dogs while waiting for her appointment or pickup. Instead, she's cared for in a peaceful environment where she feels safe. Robyn's patience, gentleness, and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We can finally take our dog to the groomer without anxiety -- and that alone is priceless. If you have a sensitive or nervous pet, I truly can't recommend Gentle Genes Pet Care enough.

What eases our minds is they have cameras on during business hours so we can check on him. There are no camera kennels except for the dogs in the private rooms. For overnight boarding, I bring his food, bed and a toy. They have doggie bed cots but I like to bring the comforts of home with him. I have utilized the enrichment course so he can have one on one time. They also offer baths so you can pick up a clean dog. If I have a problem with an online order, I can always follow up via email/phone and they are responsive. Hours are 7am - 7pm.

After looking around and doing some research I came across You Luckie Dog Kennel. Looking up and reading reviews and going to the website to get more info on the place we decided to give it a try. Glad we did Rick is a nice man and knowledgeable in the business he answered all questions me and my wife had and we were able to checkout the place before actually leaving our boy. Location is the very last stop before you head into Mt. Diablo State park. We would and will use You Luckie Dog Kennels in the future when me and the family go on trips to leave our boy. Thanks again Rick

I can't say enough good things about You Luckie Dog! My pup gets so excited when we pull up--he…read morestarts wagging like crazy the moment we get near the gate. That tells me everything I need to know about how he's treated here. One of the best parts is that play time is included at no extra charge--no nickel-and-diming for giving the dogs the exercise and fun they deserve. The boarding rates are also very affordable, which makes it easy to book without stressing about the cost. Rick, the owner, is incredibly flexible and easy to work with. Whether I've needed to adjust drop-off times or extend a stay last minute, he's always accommodating and friendly. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs and the people who love them. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be happy, safe, and well cared for, You Luckie Dog is the jackpot!

We couldn't recommend Doggy Lama Pet Care more, what a wonderful organization. Molly and all the…read moreemployees are amazing. Their pricing is more than reasonable, and the services are the best. Molly was recommended by a friend as "the dog whisperer" and that is correct. We have a little senior guy who loves other doggo's but doesn't have any teeth to defend himself, so it has been really difficult to find a boarder for him to be safe. Even having friends who he is familiar with staying at the house hasn't worked out. Insert Doggy Lama. We did a trial run of boarding with Molly, and he passed so we were able to schedule a weeklong vacation knowing he would have the best time. He got to hang out with some other senior dogs and have long walks in the wilderness and lots of doggo time. Molly kept us posted daily with pictures of our little man being a dog. The experience way outperformed expectations. We are working to sign our guy up for some walking adventures throughout the week. Go see Doggy Lama for all your needs.

When Wilma first started going to Molly, she was a shy and timid pup who wasn't comfortable being off leash. Over time, with Molly's patience and care (and the help of Fabrizzio and the other amazing walkers), Wilma has grown so much in confidence. She now happily runs with the pack (with a long lead) and adores her boarding stays with Molly. I think she's sad when she leaves! We're so grateful for Doggy Lama and the great care and service they provide. It truly feels like Wilma is part of a second family. We can't recommend Doggy Lama enough!

When I pulled up a younger male (long hair) was a bit standoffish and looked at me like I was insane asking if I could come check the facility out. I honestly felt like I was being shamed for so much as asking to come see where she would be after I dropped her off or meet any staff. I guess we are supposed to hand off our dogs through the car window on a rather busy street, to a virtual stranger? No lobby or anything? He said I could look at pictures online, but I have never had a boarding or daycare place gate keep their space like that.

I have checked around and found this is not a usual way to correct dogs. so, my dogs won't be going there.

No hesitation, no tail tucked and honestly, she barely acknowledges my existence the moment we walk through the door. When they take her to the back, she doesn't even look over her shoulder.

I'm pretty sure she's made a few friends, possibly even joined a secret dog club. At this point, I'm convinced she doesn't miss us at all, which I guess means she's having a fantastic time. Highly recommend!

Not too difficult, just hairy and needy. Well, needless to say, that fell through last minute and I was in a bind for sure. I don't like to board them and I want them in our home. I found Apron Strings via Yelp! and saw the great reviews. I thought I'd take a chance... I talked with Howard that evening and got an understanding of what they offered, talked a little to get a read on his love for pets and general personality and was sold. He scheduled a meeting with one of his people to see my home, to walk through and meet my pets. That was great, and reassuring. I scheduled three walks/visits per day for my dog and cat. I was given a daily journal of activities, feeding, demeanor and all around vibe of my babies. That was refreshing. Upon arrival back in the states, Kim reached out to me to make sure everything went well and make sure I didn't have any issue. That was very professional as well. I will use this service in the future for my travels when I cannot find an individual to stay in my home with my pets, as they were professional and courteous. Thank you!
