Puptown actually did my dog Hans and I a huge favor. I had previously scheduled boarding for Hans at a competing facility back in January in preparation for a trip to Japan in May. However, when we arrived at the facility the day before my flight to Japan, that facility told me that Hans boarding was being denied due to him having a heart murmur condition. Even though I had been a loyal customer to this facility for over 10 years, and that my flight to Japan was less than 24 hours away, and that they waited until I was at the checkin desk in order to inform me of the denial, representatives of this facility stated that there was nothing they could do and that they were simply following company policy. So me saying that Puptown literally saved my trip is a huge understatement. With no paperwork, and no pre-qualifying evaluation, Puptown took in Hans, heart murmur and all, and treated him like a prince. As a result, I'll always be grateful to Puptown, Hans' new found home away from home for the remainder of his life. Thank you Puptown! read more

Our dog Aspen always has a fantastic time here! She always comes home exhausted and behaving whether she's had an overnight stay or just daycare. I definitely trust Puptown with my energetic dog! read more

We have been clients of PupTown for several years. it is the only place we feel safe enough to board our Poodle, Oliver. The daily photos and videos of him playing, smiling, and on walks nourishing us while we are away. Shasta, the owner, is a true gem. She truly understands the workings of dogs' psyches and ensures each pet is placed in the right environment. When medication or special dietary needs are required, they are administered flawlessly. PupTown is truly a wonderful, caring place for your beloved dog. read more

We love Puptown almost as much as our pups do. This id our second dog with Puptown and she could not be happier!

I cannot say enough positive things about Puptown, the staff, and Shasta, the owner! From the first meeting to evaluate our Akita, Shasta has been generous with her time and thorough with her suggestions for Hoshi's adjustment to boarding. Her evaluation and suggestions to help Hoshi were spot on! Recently, we had an overnight trip planned and a serious health issue came up with Hoshi. Shasta quickly worked out everything they could do on their end - hourly checks, photos and reports, including an emergency vet plan in place just in case. We feel fortunate and thankful for such caring, experienced, and knowledgeable people at Puptown - Hoshi's home away from home! read more

Pup town is the BEST!!!! My dogs have been coming n here for years and the crew is amazing with them. We have a challenging nervous dog and this crew is top notch with him. Thank you guys for always being so wonderful. Love Ollie and Lola's mommy. read more

We were in a total bind, with our 8 month old Golden needing care. He was two weeks post neuter and was needing extra care while he continued to mend. Shasta and her team have been taking such good care of our boy. He comes home happy and tired. And his recovery site continues to mend- even while getting all the play time. They put his cone on during the rest periods, when he's unsupervised in the kennel. We're very grateful Puptown was able to take Alfie and allow us to get back to work knowing he was in very capable hands. Each team member we've spoken to has been so kind and have answered all our questions, really putting us at ease. Looking forward to using them for more sporadic daycare (when he's done healing) and then for boarding when we take trips. Thank you Puptown! read more

My dog is very reactive to other dogs and cats, and the team handled that beautifully, and even took the time to give me some advice on how to handle it. I couldn't have been more pleased. read more

Great doggy daycare and boarding. They have a personal touch to their care , like they truly get to know your dog. I usually leave my dog, Neo, for daycare there but this week, we boarded him there for the first time. He came back happy and healthy and tired! I appreciated the pictures they posted of him on Instagram and they also got back to me when I emailed to check on him. He is highly allergic and can only have his prescription food, so I was really worried about him accidentally getting some other food/treats but he was very healthy and happy when I picked him up and they made sure to let me know he is doing great over email as well. Thank you Puptown!! read more

The update that Shasta shared after I shared my honest review & injury photos of my dog being bit by another dog is all lies. Not once did our dog instigate a fight. He has never done that ever. And he's been trained by numerous professionals since he was 8 months old. He was 3 when this injury happened. So I know for a fact it wasn't because he was "insecure" or "untrained". He spent a year training with a specialist that only trains Rhodesian Ridgebacks. We spent thousands on his training. So to blame our dog for their lack of care is incredibly frustrating. The fact is they were understaffed (which they admitted to in an email correspondence), they also let the dogs play too rough (which I've noticed from previous videos they posted on their FB) AND they don't correct the behavior of the more aggressive dogs. So if your dog is a sweetheart like ours, DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Pup town is awesome! My pup is happy and excited to walk in the door. I believe the staff value my pup and they have a genuine care for her. Shasta, the owner, knows dogs and ensures her staff are trained and proficient in positive handling and training techniques. The spaces for the dogs are clean, stimulating, and staffed well for oversight of the pups. Pup Town is my goto when I can't have my pup with me. read more

My two young dogs absolutely loooooove Puptown!! I started bringing them here last year when I adopted them from the shelter. I like that there are options for either half day or full day for daycare. They also offer grooming services and neighborhood walks. The staff post pictures and videos of the dogs there daily. The owner, Shasta, gave very constructive advice to me on how to be a better dog parent. All the staff members are friendly and professional. I really appreciate hearing little stories about how my dogs when I picked them up. That tells me they are attentive and really care about all the dogs in their care. My dogs and I definitely recommend Puptown for daycare and boarding needs. read more

I wanted to leave a review for Shasta and her team to reassure everyone that they are very in depth in making sure all the dogs that they have in their group play program are well screened and evaluated. We just adopted a dog from the pound two weeks ago and are just getting to know all of his behaviors. He has been gentle with our kids and other kids and friendly to dogs on the trail that he has interacted with as well as our cats. He is generaly submissive so we were not worried about any issues in group paly. When we took him in for evaluation he was rejected for group care due to rough play style (not instinctive aggression but not knowing how to control himself once he started to play). Shasta spent 30 minutes talking to us about the behavior how to find trainers, what to look for in a trainer and pathways to address the behavior. She did not need to spend that much time helping us figure out how to address this behavior that we were unaware of. She made the right call to make sure all the other dogs in her program are safe and helped get us on a pathway to make sure our dog is well trained. I saw other reviews that were upset about Puptown not taking care to make sure dogs were a good fit and wanted to give a first hand account as someone who was not a good fit that they put in the work to create a safe environment for all dogs. We look forward to coming back for solo boarding and hope in the future our pup will be able to participate in group care once he gets the right training. read more

Pluto has come for shorter and longer stays. He loves it and we get updates on Instagram. Great place our dog, and we appreciate the responsive staff! read more

Dogs were treated very well. I was able to see videos and pictures during their stay which made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. They kept me informed when they ran out of food and did a great job in having them bathed and ready for pickup. Also got a recap of how they did during their stay which indicates to me that they are aware of each dog and how they interact with one another. Thank you Puptown read more

What can I say., I love Puptown!! My dog is not easy.. she's one part old lady and 1 part terrible two's!!! I really thought she would get kicked out her first day.. I waited for the " come get her phone call!" I never got the call.. what I did get was a picture of my grouchy dog sitting on a pillow in the office! Shasta and her staff understood my dog! Even gave me some tips on dealing with her bad behavior. Puptown really does care for your dog! They have been a lifesaver for me with doggie daycare. It worked out so well that I booked an overnight stay for my dog. Puptown even had a extra services I could get for my dog. A bath, nail trim and clean her ears! and the prices are reasonable! Highly recommend!! Thank you Puptown!!! read more

We use Puptown regularly and have had great experience with their services. Our dog, Moki, is not an easily excitable guy but he gets so excited when we approach Puptown and he knows what's in store. We even moved an hour away from their location, but still use their boarding services since we have not been able to find a similar doggie boarding near us. The staff are nice, Moki has fun, and we feel he is in good hands when we are away. We follow him on Facebook through their website so we can see how he is doing. He is an intermittant boarder but they always know him by name when he arrives. We have tried similar boarding services in our area that make no attempt to really get to know your pet, much less his name. read more

Can't say enough good stuff about Puptown. From the moment my mix husky pup Ronny rushes the door when we arrive, smothering the handlers with licks, to when I pick him up, tired and happy, smothering me with licks, I know he loves it there. It's so reassuring to know that the staff all love the dogs entrusted to their care, either for day care or overnight boarding. Highly recommend. read more

My review is based on interactions with the staff. The intake forms online were relatively straightforward. I got a call from the staff and brought my dog to basically do a test run. Unfortunately, he didn't pass, which I am so bummed about. We got him from the shelter and he's still in his puppy mode. He's so sweet around humans but is like a Tasmanian devil with dogs. But, nonetheless the staff was pleasant and understanding. I wanted to thank the staff for the opportunity to meet Mr. Phil! read more

Not bad if your dog is older. My dog is young and has alot of energy. With that said, he can get over stimulated. Puptown kicked him out!!!!! Because he gets "overstimulated" I was concerned until I took him to another location (while I still train him), he is socialized however at 15 months he does have lots of energy. I tried Dog Time in San Leandro, I had no problems with him being "stimulated". I also went to Wag Hotel in Oakland as they are closer to my work. He went a whole week with no issues. So at the end of day, I'm not really sure why my pet had an issue at Pup town. He shouldn't be the sole reason as to being kicked out. I'm happy that my pet doesn't have any issues at the two other places. AND BOTH places have cameras so you are able to watch your pet!! So if there is an issue you can see how it's handled and what caused an issue. Both places, Dog Time & Wag Hotel take pictures as well to show you progress if in case you can't watch the cameras and they were clean, no dog smell. I guess everything happens for a reason because I wouldn't have tried Dog Time or Wag Hotel if they didn't kick my dog out, lol. The 1st pic from Wag and the 2nd from Dog Time read more

Chloe has been so clingy and needy the last couple of years. I worried how she would do so we started by doing 1/2 days during the week. She did great, the team at Puptown is always so welcoming and good to her. We had gone to a dog friendly hotel and she did great the first time, the 2nd time, I was gone for 2 hours and she chewed through her travel crate, her harness and was howling. The last time, she lost it when I tried to leave the room to get a cup of coffee. Needless to say it's made both of us anxious. I did an overnight to help us both out (yea I have been clingy and needy myself it seems)- I was nervous all day waiting for the call to come get her - it never came. I picked her up the next morning and the staff told me all about her night and she came out happily! I'm so glad I found Puptown - I feel confident in having them so close! read more

When my usual dog and house sitter wasn't available, Puptown was able to get my fur baby in for an evaluation quickly and she was approved for any time stay. Check-in is easy, everyone is friendly, and it's very clean. My pup always comes home tired from all the play and I can see her in action kn their Facebook page. Thanks, Puptown for always showing my pup a great time! read more

We've brought our dog Ruby here one day weekly for four years now and cannot recommend Pup Town more highly. Ruby also did great the two times we have used their boarding services. Shasta and her staff are true dog lovers; we consider their standards to be high. Best of all, Ruby loves Puptown, and always comes home tired and happy. read more

This place is AWESOME! Very friendly staff, super prompt responses, and a great way to let your dog make some friends and play all day. I have an Alaskan malamute who needs way more exercise than I can give so finding this place was great. He went in for his evaluation and made me so proud. You can tell right away as you walk in the staff is doing what they love, so your pup is in good hands. The price seems very reasonable (I don't have anything to compare to but to me seems fair) and you can breathe a sigh of relief during your day knowing your pup is being cared for and making friends. Thank you all at Pup Town and we will be seeing a lot of you. read more

Thought it's time for an update. Koda my dog is 1.5 years now and still regularly attends dog daycare to Play with the staff and his doggy friends! If your dog is bored at home while you're at work or trying to work from home, puptown is so great and gets the energy out of your dog! Puptown reinforces your dogs training that you are already working on. Puptown posts on Facebook what your dog is up to. Puptown sends you a report card on how your dog is doing. The staff and owner shasta are amazing and work closely with you to ensure your dog has a good time during the day, but also helps you with what you should work on at home. Shasta is quick to respond and attentive. Puptown has a large space for the dogs to run around, but keeps them separated depending on which dogs they play well with, size, etc. they are very observant of your dogs and want to ensure your dogs are having fun but are also keeping safe. Puptown is perfect if the air quality is bad outside or the weather is super hot since it's in a large indoor space. I've seen other daycares and This has been the best experience for my dog and myself! read more

Convenient location, warm cheerful staff; however, the owner did not like my dog. Also she had several trips to ER because of them.

My dogs Millie and Tillie love puptown. We have been been coming for about a year. Millie and Tillie are older and were not use to other dogs at first. The staff were very gentle with them and now they can't wait to get inside. The staff are helpful to the owners as well. I was a walker and they accommodate my needs as well. They know my dogs well and love them. I can not praise them enough. Whether I'm dropping them off for a daily visit, or boarding I know they will be safe and well cared for. Shasta and the staff take caring for the dogs their highest priority. Annie read more

I LOVE PUPTOWN!!!! Ive been taking my dogs there for years and it's absolute heaven. My doggies area always safe and have a wonderful time. They are really careful to take dogs that have appropriate socialization skills and mine have never had a problem there. the place is clean, does not smell, and you are allowed to take a look around if you feel a need to. They have nothing to hide. It's a local founder owner-operator so that makes me feel good, too. These people are awesome, I highly highly recommend them. read more

We love Shasta and her crew of pawsome people. Our pets Finn and Maggie love playing and hanging out. Maggie who is our small furry baby is usually shy around new people and other dogs. The team was very patient with her and helped her come out of her shell. Finn our 80 pound lap dog cannot get out of the car fast enough and run towards the entrance. Highly recommend for daycare and boarding. read more

My friend has brought her dog here a few times now and she says the place is great. The people are nice except for one of the guys that work the front desk. White dude with an attitude. Management should really talk to him about how he interacts with customers. If he doesn't like his job, he should really quit. What's so bad about working with animals? This should be least stressful job She's thinking about not bringing him here anymore which is too bad because her dog has fun here and they seem to really care about the animals. read more
