But with Danny's off leash hiking and beach service, I have a tired (happy) dog all the time. We started using Doggie Adventures about 5 months ago and Tele LOVES Danny. Whenever Tele saw Danny and his Van, his tail wiggled like turbo and jumping up and down to greet him. This must be the best off-leash service that includes pick up, drop off and clean up in the bay area. Great things about Danny's services: - Flexibility - He will text me when he is 15 mins away, so I can get Tele ready. - Including pick up, drop off and clean up - Highly recommend for high energy pup - He CARES about your dog If you are on the waitlist, it WORTH to wait because this is the must have service for your pup .

Danny takes care of every dog in his group like his own, with individual attention for their exercise, wellbeing and pack bonding behavior. He usually picks Julius up in the morning, and after a full day at the beach drops him off late afternoon. Particular attention is also paid to limiting the group size for space and specialized monitoring. What we particularly love about Danny's service is his flexibility for scheduling, timely text communication, personable attitude, and his real interest in pet care. This is definitely a must-have service if you can get on the waitlist!

We have been using Craig since March of this year and our pups love it. They are pretty good on…read moreleash but when it's time for them to get picked up they pull to get to truck as quickly as possible. They love Craig and they love going to see their friends every day. They seem to get about two hours of free time at the ranch which is plenty in my opinion. We get pictures occasionally which is awesome and we have grown to completely trust Craig with our dogs while we are away at work. He is very responsive and a very kind person. I would highly recommend his services because you can tell that the dogs just aren't locked in a crate all day. The dogs always come back a little dirty and very tired! I think that are in the car for a period of time during drop off and pick up so just make sure they pee before and after drop off. We are so grateful to have found Bow Wow Ranch and I'm sure our pups are too.

We absolutely loved this daycare service for, Tato & Chip! The convenience was unbeatable -- they'd…read moreget picked up right from home and whisked off to a fully fenced, off-leash open space where they could run, play, and just be happy dogs. They thrived all year round and always came back tired, content, and well-cared for. Tato can be a little weird in a big pack of dogs. But in this environment, she was happy and acclimated very quickly. I would see how happy she was on the instagram posts--she's never like that at home or at the dog park. Like with any daycare or hike in California, it's smart to keep your dogs on flea/tick prevention. During high season, we did have to pull a couple ticks off our pups, but that's just part of living in California -- not a reflection on the owner or the service. Most of the year it was never an issue. We were so sad when we moved because we know we'll never find anyone quite like Craig where we are now. If you're lucky enough to be local, this is truly a gem for both dogs and their humans!

We've been leaving our precious Lulu with Selina during out trips, for i think almost 2 years now…read more And weve always had a fantastic experience with this home boarding service for my dog! The care and attention given to my furry friend were exceptional. The host provided a warm and safe environment, and my dog seemed genuinely happy during the stay. Shes always excited when she realize we're at selinas place. Communication was top-notch, with regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. They also always seem to separate her when shes eating, which is was we requested to prevent her from eating other dogs food since shes a sensitive frenchie, I highly recommend this service to any pet owner seeking a loving and reliable home away from home for their beloved canine companion.

Thank you again so much Gloria, and we would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for an experienced and caring pet sitter!

Ana was a rescue dog when we picked her up at 8 weeks old in January 2024. Her anxiety and…read morereactivities toward people and all four-legged animals were so extreme that we couldn't bring her to any public place. When she was finally tall enough to peek through the car window, she would bark so loud at the dogs crossing the street that people thought we were murdering her. We thought she would learn from her older packs: an 8 year old female Belgium Malinois and a 11 year old male German Shepherd Dog. We were wrong. She bullied the older dogs. Thank goodness we found Enrique Guey through Omar's Doza Dogs in Palo Alto. We enrolled Ana through Omar's Board and Train program. Ana came back a completely different dog after 5 + weeks. She was able to go on walks with Omar's packs. She was able to board with them without incidents. The biggest surprise was that she was able to go on weekly walks with Enrique's clients' dogs at Stanford Shopping Mall. I would highly recommend anyone who has similar situations to start this training course with Enrique and boarding at Omar's. This is a perfect combination where your dog gets training routines on a daily basis. Omar's team is very friendly and professional. They will screen all the dogs before adding them to the group walk. This is the best of the best team! Totally worth the price compare to the big brand K9 training company. (which I also enrolled Ana prior to Enrique) Highly recommend the training and boarding program! Worth every penny! Just imagine your ADHD dog walking with you at Stanford Shopping Center. You will be so proud of your dog and yourself!! Make it your goal to get your dog trained this year! Your quality of life will improve dramatically!!

When my…read moredogs were boarding with Doza's Dogs, one had a health emergency and Omar took him late at night to get medical attention. We later found this was the start of a long cancer journey. I'm mentioning this because Omar completely goes the distance for any dog (or pet...ask him about his collection of awesome pets!). Full service business so they will pick up and drop off all your loved ones with fantastic walks along the bay. Boarding at an extra cost. IMHO way better to take your dog here than any pup hotel around the area.

With Mandy's incredible training Holly now knows "Go to your place" (she runs across the shop to her doggy bed and waits until we tell her to release), "Leave it" (with lots of treats in the shop she'll stop and look to us rather than grabbing whatever is near her nose). "Wait" which gets her to stay in one area of the shop until we release her. "Bow" Which is her way of saying that she's done playing with children so that she can go back to her place. "Take it" which she waits to hear before diving into her bowl of food. And "Touch" which makes her stop whatever she's doing and come over to one of us and gently touch our hand with her nose (great way to stop any behavior we're not happy with and move to something good). Mandy is a terrific trainer who truly gets dogs and their humans.

We just had Mandy help us with training our new 10 week old Cavachon puppy. We've had dogs before…read morebut never a puppy; Mandy was phenomenal with helping guide as through the appropriate commands/training, dos and don'ts, and general essential information needed to make sure our little guy is getting off to a great start. She has a great ability to work with our dog and figure out his motivations from the get go. She also found the best way to curb his current habit of biting my feet, legs and hands - her solutions and training points on this are like gold....I'm SO appreciative for that alone. Mandy is professional, prompt, and an excellent communicator in person, via phone, and through email. I look forward to recommending her to any/all of my friends and family with dogs. No doubt, she's our new go-to trainer for all things puppy and dog related...we're so happy we happened to find her!
