    Happy boy on his way to Pickles Playland

    Long time Pickles Playland fan and even more so now - didn't think it was possible to love a local business so much. My pup, Chewbarka, has been with Pickles since he was a puppy, about six years - they are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, caring and all around just the best. The daycare is amazing and Chewbarka is always excited when we arrive - never a backward look. I was recently hospitalized during an extended road trip and with a call, the amazing folks at Pickles came to my puppers rescue taking him in for boarding with no notice just before a planned holiday weekend closure! They stepped in graciously and without any hesitation and had our back. His "pupdates" kept me sane, and, knowing he was happy - truly happy - with his Pickles family helped me focus on healing up. You can see how much the folks at Pickles love him, but more to the point, you can see it on my pupper - he loves Pickles Playland and so do I. PS Great training available at Pickles! Check them out and tell them Chewbarka sent you

    The best! We'd be so lost without Pickles. My 1 year-old pug Captain has been coming here DAILY for daycare since he was a few months old (I work from home and he's a SUPER hyper dog -- so he needs to run all day!). It's a second home to him, and everyone treats us like family. His older fawn pug sister, Lulabelle, also comes quite often and loves it just as much! I've had zero issues here -- nothing but loving kindness for my dogs. Also, Captain is a barky, reactive dog outside of daycare (we're working on it!) so if you have a reactive pup, don't let that stop you from trying Pickles. As for boarding -- I've used it three times now, for over a week at a time -- and my dogs always return happy. I get constant email updates from both night and day crew, with pictures in tow. We also love the groomer, who is a good texter/communicator when she has questions. This is the absolute best doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility I've ever used. Send your small dog(s) here -- you won't regret it!

    My 2 yr old 5 lb Pom has gone to small dog daycare and a cageless groomer in LA his whole life. He is very social and has many human and dog friends. I was very hopeful that Pickles Playland would be the perfect match for us in the PNW. Beyond being exceptionally clean, I do not recommend this business due to poor overall communication, reckless handling of my dog in front of me and behind closed doors, and a cavalier attitude about getting to know dogs individually due to self-admittedly high employee turnover. The passive-aggressive responses to other negative reviewers illustrates a tendency to deflect questions and feedback in a way that abruptly undermines a productive customer oriented dialogue. There are clearly many satisfied customers; this review is for those that sense something is amiss.

    Before

    Dropped my labradoodle for grooming and I was shocked to see how they groomed my pet. I followed their instructions and sent a picture of a labradoodle for style reference and expected to have similar style for my pet. In turn, they ended up literally shaving him and also cut is eyebrows and eye lashes. I have never seen this kind of unskilled professional in this field. When I called them back and expressed my dissatisfaction and feelings (because I was genuinely hurt), they cared less and hung up on me. I called back and they never answered my calls nor did they returned my calls. Super unprofessional and they neither care about the pet nor their owners. As a business owner the first thing they need to learn is to listen to their customer's concerns. This clearly did not happen in their case. This is my first negative review on Yelp as I always believe "to err is human", but not acknowledging it and not feeling apologetic is being rude and cocky. I've attached the before, referral pic and after pic of my pet. I've also attached the receipt of payment as a proof.

    If I could give this amazing, magical doggy kingdom a 500 star I would. They take care of Gia like she is their own pup. Gia used to be afraid to be around other dogs and now she doesnt even look back when I drop her. Gia is a bit needy and they never make me feel badly. Their motto is accurate your dog will not come home smelling like pee. I receive pictures at the end of every visit showing different times of the day. When Gia arrives home, yes by Pickles transport she feels and smells like she was freshly groomed. Please do yourself and your pup a favor invest in a place that only hires well trained employees who greet your pup by name with excitement. Pickles Playland you are one for the history books!!!

Why would you put your dog at a kennel type place if you have or had this option. My dog is practically like family to Cindy now. It's honestly invaluable what she provides. My dog is never in a crate, and gets to hang with Cindy and her family, go out back and check out the chickens and other animals, he's not locked up in a cage for 20 of 24 hours a day. I get the overnight kennel places probably not having the man power to pay one on one attention to those dogs, but it's just that your dog is going from free reign of your own home to being in a kennel for hours at a time. It's a huge adjustment and difference. With Cindy, they're going from your home, to a home. She gives you updates too on how your dog is doing and sometimes even sends off photos too. I recommend Cindy to any & everyone who's in need for a dog sitter.

My little cat Murray was in the hospital, very sick, and needed to be transferred from her vet in Lodi to a specialist vet in Sacramento. I was tied up with a work crisis but Murray needed to get to Sacramento. After a frantic search on Yelp, I found Cindy and she dropped everything, on a Saturday afternoon, and drove from Manteca to pick up Murray in Lodi and take her to Sacramento. Cindy even stayed in Sacramento for several hours until I could get there. Cindy made it possible for my beloved Murray to get the best medical care and I am forever grateful. She sent me a video of Murray, which I cherish. Thank you, Cindy, your kindness, generosity of spirit and integrity are treasures; thank you for caring about my Murray as if she were your own.
