We have two dogs, a chipoodle and a chiweenie. During the time we had Shalini checking on our…read morebabies, she sent photos, texts and videos so we knew what our fluffs were up to. She even voluntarily checked on our bearded dragon & beta fish for us and left the TV on Animal Planet for our pups. Our chiweenie, CoCo, had a very traumatic upbringing until she was rescued. She had severe social anxiety and could sometimes be aggressive. One thing I did notice, and this is why I'm writing this review, is that upon our arrival back home and over the next couple of weeks we saw significant change in CoCo's behavior. She was much more receptive to new faces and even warmer with us than she had ever been. Idk what Shalini did or maybe CoCo just realized that not all strangers are bad and some are friends, but it completely changed our outlook on what our life could be like with CoCo added to our family. We continue to recommend Shalini to friends and family and we now have a cat added to our family and will need her services again here soon. Thank you Shalini!! You truly are a saint to these animals.

Knowing my dog is somewhere safe, comfortable, and well cared for gives me real peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is how close it is to home, which makes drop-offs and pickups super convenient. The ownership and staff are fantastic--they clearly care about the animals and make the whole process feel easy and welcoming. Every experience has been smooth and stress-free, from check-in to pickup. My pup always comes home happy, which tells me everything I need to know. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy place to board your pet, especially if you're a picky pet parent like me, I highly recommend All Pets Boarding!

Nomination for Veterinarian of the Year: Dr. Sukeep Kaur, DVM…read more Rocklin Ranch Veterinary Hospital For more than fifteen years, Dr. Sukeep Kaur has been one of the quiet, steady forces holding up the animal‑welfare community in Placer County. Her impact is profound, yet she rarely speaks of it. She simply shows up--day after day, year after year--offering her skill, compassion, and time to the people and pets who need her most. Dr. Kaur is known throughout our region as a veterinarian who leads with her heart. She routinely provides free spay and neuter surgeries for low‑income families and for individuals who have no means to pay. She never advertises this generosity; she simply steps in when she sees a need. For many pet owners, her kindness is the difference between keeping a beloved companion or surrendering them. For countless cats and kittens, her willingness to help has prevented suffering and reduced the number of unwanted litters entering local shelters. Her partnership with Kitten Central--our nonprofit neonatal veterinary hospital--has been invaluable. For over fifteen years, Dr. Kaur has been the person we call when emergencies arise, when a fragile newborn kitten needs immediate intervention, or when we face a medical question that requires expert insight. She has never once turned us away. Her guidance has saved lives that would not have survived without her. One of the most meaningful examples of her community impact is her involvement in Senior Saturdays, a monthly outreach program she participates in with one of our board members. Together, they visit nursing homes and assisted‑living communities, bringing small, gentle kittens for residents to hold and interact with. These visits are more than a moment of joy--they are therapy. Residents who seldom speak begin talking. Those who rarely smile light up. Individuals with memory challenges become calm and engaged. Dr. Kaur handles each kitten with tenderness and each resident with dignity, creating a bridge of comfort between generations. Her presence transforms the room. Despite her extensive volunteer work, Dr. Kaur maintains a demanding professional schedule. She works four days a week at one Rocklin Ranch location and fills in at their other practice whenever a veterinarian is sick or on vacation. Most people would call that exhausting. She calls it relaxing. Her dedication to her profession is matched only by her love for the animals and families she serves. What makes Dr. Kaur truly exceptional is not just the number of hours she gives, but the spirit in which she gives them. She never seeks recognition. She never asks for credit. She simply believes that helping animals--and the people who love them--is her responsibility as a veterinarian and as a member of this community. I am certain that what I know of her contributions is only a fraction of the whole. Her humility means that much of her good work happens quietly, without fanfare. But the impact is unmistakable: healthier pets, supported families, comforted seniors, and a stronger, more compassionate community. For her unwavering service, her extraordinary generosity, and her deep commitment to both people and animals, Dr. Sukeep Kaur deserves to be recognized as Veterinarian of the Year. Her work has touched thousands of lives, and our community is immeasurably better because of her.

Hilary is Absolutely amazing and the only person I trust with my high maintenance French bull dogs…read more! She has a background in handling dogs (and other animals) for year, first aid/CPR certified, AND is a nutrition expert and trainer. When I was pregnant she watch my pups for us when we went down to San Diego for our gender reveal. We broadcasted the event live for family to see virtually. She made sure to have both our pups watch the live feed to find out if they were going to have a brother OR sister (and of course took pictures of them watching). She even spent time with them that weekend training them how to act around a new baby sister. When I went Into labor and rushed to the hospital, she drove to our home and picked up the boys from our house. She took care of them until we were ready to come home from the hospital. She has watched them countless other times and always sends us pictures of how they are doing. She is literally the sweetest human and is so passionate about what she does. The boys are always so happy when I take them there! jnxy13@yahoo.com
