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!

Our pups get to spend their days in the sunshine fully supervised and their evenings sleeping in comfy dog beds, big comfy chairs or on sofas that are just for the dogs. They are completely pampered here and so well taken care of. Major Bonus- Sandra have over 30 years of veterinary care experience, so you can have peace of mind that your pup will be taken care of if an illness or injury pops up. Our dogs absolutely love it there. Hope yours will too :)

From the owner: I have been professionally working with animals for nearly 20 years. I enjoy building a bond with…read morepets and gently working with them to build trust and respect. My specialty is adventure outings, where I take a small pack of well-behaved dogs out to a nature beach to run around and play. I pick them up from their home, supervise them having a great time, and towel dry them before bringing them back home. If your dog isn’t trained off-leash and you’d like for them to be, I can help! I use positive reinforcement and consistency to make progress. The first step is to build trust and a bond, and to show that coming out with me will bring great fun and rewards. When the time is right, I can slowly start to allow them to have more freedom, while training vital recall skills. If you feel your dog isn’t a candidate to go off-leash, I can also do leashed hikes, neighborhood walks, drop-ins and pet transportation to vet and grooming appointments. I have experience with newborn puppies all the way to geriatric and special-needs. Check out my website for more information, and feel free to text or email with questions or to set up a time to talk.

This has given the most valuable service ever. I don't think you can find a more responsible, loving and dog-friendly service/owner than Keren. Absolutely worth it! My dog Tico loves to go his "Home Away from Home". He loves the house, the yard, and the other dogs to party with. Tico was a rescue and Keren and her family have dealt with his quirks beautifully. Keren (pronounced like "Corine"), is a special lady who understands dogs. She was able to get Tico on much better recall, thus, he does well on the beach off-leash days... which he loves more than life itself. I totally trust Keren to let Tico have a good time, but she knows the boundaries. Her instincts are great. And the bottom line is that he LOVES when I drop him off: he's like "Bye Felicia!" LOL Thank you Keren and family for your great care and awesomeness!

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.

There's a lot of places to choose from. This place looked very similar to other dog boarding homes, the floor is worn from a lot of dogs and it's not sparkling clean. But those things don't matter as long as my dog is safe and happy when I get back from Vacation! Glad we found this place close to home.

It was evident in every update that my cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. My cats adore Melanie. It is clear that she has a genuine love for animals and an intuitive ability to connect with them. I have also been impressed by her professionalism and reliability - always punctual, respectful of my home, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

A huge plus are the daily updates. The photos and descriptions of interactions are so reassuring and fun to get.

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.
