We live over an hour from the kennel but have loved the facility and all of its amazing staff so much we refuse to even attempt anything closer. We have used Blue Ridge for both training (field and obedience) as well as just basic boarding many of times now. The quality of genuine care, attentiveness and communication from staff has been above and beyond! The love for the dogs is felt instantly and radiates when you are greeted by Rebecca and Caitlin in the office/kennel. Dropping your pup off for any length of time in never easy, yet somehow they've melted away any of those hard feeling and both our dogs absolutely love them! The expertise, patience and professionalism from Steve and the rest of the team in the field/obedience work has been incomparable! Everyone truly takes the time to get to know you and your dog, and works as a team to make sure both your dog and yourself are on the best path to success. Both of our dogs have returned home from every stay at Blue Ridge Kennels happy, loved and with so much progression in obedience/field work!

My usual boarding place was booked up due to the onset of summer and so were the 3 subsequent places I checked. So glad Happy Paws had recommended Blue Ridge. Kaitlin, the owner gave me a tour of the modest but well maintained grounds and explained her philosophy. I was very impressed at the service between her and Rebecca. I forgot to bring my dogfood back and Rebecca was kind enough to drop it off at my house when she was in town. The online reservation system makes things really easy. Near the freeway, it makes drop offs en route to the airport easy.

I came across a mention of Furfield Pet Place on Nextdoor and contacted them to ask for information. Mark got back to me quickly and we set up a meet and greet for the very next day. My dogs did well during the meet and great and Mark gave me a tour as well as answered any questions I had. I felt very comfortable with the information and his home and knew it would be a good fit for my dogs. His prices were also very good and he had me fill out an intake form that also made me feel comfortable that they wanted to know all about my dogs to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. Mark sent updates and pictures multiple times per day and I always knew how they were doing. My older dog usually is quite depressed and miserable when boarded and seemed to be doing great! I was set to pick them up the next morning after I got back and I overslept! Mark was very forgiving about that which was also appreciated. I definitely will be using Furfield Pet Place for my pet boarding needs in the future. My dogs comfort is so important to me and the fact that they clearly felt THAT comfortable speaks volumes to me.

This was the 1st time we've ever boarded our dog Buster. We had researched and visited other…read moreplaces. After having a meet and greet, I was convinced that this was far better than any kennel we saw. I was right!!! The home environment in addition to the fact that they limit the number of guests was a big selling point. We were nervous at first, not sure how he would react. Mark made us feel so at ease by sending pictures and comments during the time he was there. Buster was so comfortable there he even got up on the sofa with the family just like at home. He can sometimes be a little pouty even if he's left at home for too long. When we returned from our trip, he was his usual perky self. I cant thank Mark and his family enough for the superior experience for Buster and for us. We will DEFINITELY be back.

We really…read morefelt that a typical style of kenneling would have been traumatic for him, he would be lonely and afraid because he is used to having someone close at all times. Murphy's Canine B&B responded quickly to my inquiry and their prices were very fair. We are SO GRATEFUL to have found them! We went on vacation and so did he! He went to a house where Murphy lives (Yorkie dog) and basically moved in for 10 days. He played with all of the dogs getting boarded there. They have a fabulous yard where the dogs play and run, they get a doggie pool, toys and then in the afternoon they all go inside and nap wherever they want to be.... on the couches. Lazy boy, floor, bed.... WHEREVER! That is so awesome! Chief was well taken care of and had a blast being there... I could not have asked for more. I will never have reservations about going anywhere again because I have a place for my baby to go. Thank you ladies, Mahalo!

Go take your pup for a meet-n-greet and I'm sure you will feel very comfortable leaving your pup in their care. We will be back for sure!

Allison has a warm, welcoming space for her pets, and from the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Oatmeal in her care. She clearly loves animals, pays attention to the little things, and treated Oatmeal like one of her own. Throughout the stay, she was communicative, kind, and just genuinely easy to work with. When we picked Oatmeal up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for -- exactly what every dog parent hopes for. If you're in or near Vacaville and need a reliable, loving pet sitter, I can't recommend Woof Pack Mama Petsitting enough. We'll absolutely be returning next time we're in the area.

We were looking for leash training, general obedience, excitement control, etc. After a few bad interviews, we met Sam. She came to the house and spent 2 hours with us. It was clear that she was the right fit. My husband was about to deploy, we have a 9 month old baby, and I needed somewhere I could trust to leave our pup for a month while I got used to taking care of the baby alone. She provided updates often and his training was going well! I was supposed to be getting Griffey back soon when she called to tell me he had some hot spots. They worsened, he wouldn't leave them alone, and she needed to get him to the vet. She ended up taking him to her vet since ours wasn't able to see him quick enough. She kept him for a few extra days while he was on medication/healing. She cares so much about Griffey and his health/well being. It was a breath of fresh air that she was so intent on getting him 100% trained to our wishes that she kept him a few extra days (no charge) to make sure he could heal but also continue to get some additional training. I've got Griffey back now and he's much more calm and obedient. I couldn't be happier. Ruff Pup truly went above and beyond for us. She could have easily dropped his hot spot problem on me and sent him home from training. Instead, she personally saw to his healing and continued training. She has our business forever. I'm truly thankful to them. 10/10 would recommend.

Five years later and Mamba still loves staying with Samantha and I have the tools to keep teaching my old dog new tricks, and I am, in fact, a well trained dog person.

Usually she comes on vacation with me. This time our entire family had to attend a wedding in Hawaii. I did begin a couple of months before the trip getting her and myself used to the establishment and staff. Started off with an introduction to the facility. Went on a tour. Then began bringing her for an hour, then two hours, then four hours and finally a trial overnight stay. Just so she knew I would return. The hotel is definitely luxurious. She did not stay in a kennel cage. I chose the room with the option of having a TV. I wanted her to feel comfortable as close to the way things were at home. Which was $140 a night. The staff especially Samantha were extremely helpful, kind, nice and caring. Never made me feel like I was over doing anything. lol I called and checked on her daily. I received a picture daily. Made me feel relieved, relaxed and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I think she had a great time. She was taken out of her room often to go outside. She even attended daycare. She was excited when I returned. I could tell she had a great time herself. The area is not the greatest but once inside you forget about outside. They have the doors secured by appointment only. I definitely recommend this place 100 percent. Now I have somewhere that I feel I can leave her with without concern.

Bran is our 11-year-old senior who had never been boarded, and Frankie (aka Potato) is our 15-month-old Goldendoodle, so leaving them for almost two weeks was a BIG deal for this fur mama! Before our trip, Jessica, one of the managers, made sure the boys had meet-and-greets, daycare visits, and even an overnight stay so they could become familiar with the staff and the staff could see how they adjusted. I loved that they took these extra steps instead of simply accepting our dogs for boarding. It showed me that the dogs' comfort, happiness, and safety truly come first. Their secure drop-off/pick-up process also gave me peace of mind. During their stay, the boys had potty breaks, daycare, playtime and socialization, and we received daily messages and photos. Seeing them happy while we were away was so reassuring. I was especially worried about Bran because he's our cranky little senior , but the staff clearly knows dogs and how to work with different personalities. Bran and Frankie even shared a suite together, and they did great! After almost two weeks, we picked up two happy, clean, great-smelling pups with no signs of stress. Honestly, I don't think they missed us--they were too busy enjoying their own vacation! A huge thank you to Jessica, Lily, Samantha, and the entire staff for taking such wonderful care of our Bran Muffin and Frankie Potato. I 1000% wholeheartedly trust this Pet Hotel family with my babies and am so grateful we found a place we feel comfortable boarding them again in the future. Highly recommend, especially to nervous first-time boarding pet parents!
