Pet boarding/training near Citrus Heights

“Deena is great with my anxious Corgi! She is patient and friendly and does an amazing job! One huge plus is they don’t kennel the dogs, which always intensified my Corgis anxiety at other groomers. I feel confident when dropping him off that he will be cared for and loved while getting clean!“

“It's wonderful to know there is a safe place to board my bird! Fair prices and amazing staff“

“Lucky Dog is always extremely accommodating and they do a wonderful job taking care of my very fluffy Collie/Shepherd mix, Chase!“

“I am pleased with the care my dog received. I have been taking her to this facility for over 5 years.“

“The entire staff at Sierra Ranch Veterinary is exceptional! They were highly recommended by my dogs trainer. They do not push products or services that you do not need. I will be here as long as my fur baby is living. They are the BEST!!“

“Arden Animal made Buck and myself comfortable while he crossed the rainbow bridge. We love Arden Animal, I have been taking my fur babies to them since 2000.“

“The staff were super friendly and kind to my kitty. They were very informative and were understanding and kind enough to see us same day at a time that worked for our schedules. We really appreciate how much they do for us and others.“

“Highly Recommend Fidelis K9!

Our Cane Corso, Raven, has been attending classes at Fidelis K9 since November 2025, and the experience has been outstanding. The trainers are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the success and well-being of every dog they work with. Their focus is always on what is best for the dog while helping owners develop the skills and confidence needed to continue that success at home.

One thing that stands out is the level of support. The trainers are approachable, responsive, and always willing to answer questions or provide guidance when challenges arise. The new owner, Shon, has also created an environment where feedback—both positive and constructive—is welcomed and valued, which speaks volumes about his commitment to continuous improvement.

Training a dog requires consistency and effort from both the dog and the owner. Fidelis K9 provides the tools, education, and support necessary to be successful, but owners must be willing to put in the work as well. In our experience, the team has consistently demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a genuine passion for helping dogs and their families succeed.

Raven has grown tremendously in her obedience, confidence, and socialization skills through this program. As an added bonus, we’ve learned a lot about our own behaviors and how they influence our dog’s success.

I would confidently recommend Fidelis K9 to anyone looking for quality training, guidance, and support in raising a well-trained, confident, and socialized dog. We are grateful to be part of the Fidelis K9 family and look forward to continuing our journey with them. ?“

“Piper gets so excited when we pull in the parking lot. She loves going to Buster's and loves their team.“

“The setting is a home-like
Environment and my 2 dogs were very comfortable and well taken care of. One of my dogs was a little anxious for the firat day and they let me know and we worked together to make sure the dog was happy and relaxed. Excellent experience.“

“Love the staff and everyone that works here. They truly care about your pet. Can be pricey but my dog are family and worth it.“

“I recently had to take my dog ( Iris ) in for an emergency surgery, and I was incredibly impressed with the care we received. The staff was attentive and compassionate, immediately addressing my pet's needs. The veterinarian was thorough, explaining the situation clearly and outlining treatment options. The facility was clean and well-equipped, which reassured me during a stressful time. Overall, I felt my pet was in capable hands, and I appreciated the prompt service. I highly recommend this clinic for any urgent veterinary needs.

--- Huge thank you to Dr. Munoz and her staff!“

“This is a wonderful vet specializing in cat care. We recently moved to the area and they were able to see both my cats within a week of scheduling. The pricing was very reasonable and I appreciated how they spaced out the appointment to give attention to my cats.“

“My wife and I adopted a Frenchie rescue. He is such a loving little guy until somebody new comes into our house and then he goes into protective mode…barking and being aggressive. We sought training and by God’s grace found Don! We have only been through five lessons and it has been life changing! Things we thought were impossible Don trained US to solve in a very short period! It has been transformative! He only uses leash and voice commands! It does take commitment and practice but if you love your dog, DON CAN MAKE THINGS WORK! it has made an incredible difference. My wife and I are SO much more comfortable and confident! Don teaches YOU how to train. He is an amazing coach…patient yet very focused. We still have about 5 lessons left and we couldn’t be more excited about our future with our little Frenchie, Benny! IF you want results with a humane approach (no treats or shock collars) DON IS EXCEPTIONAL!!! I know this might sound like a “commercial” but couldn’t be happier!!“

“Beth and Victoria are absolutely awesome.
Safe and Clean environment.
I 100% recommend them.“

“Been taking our dogs here for years. Friends and family have started bringing theirs here as well. The owner is the best and a true dog whisperer. Her knowledge of animals is top notch. Will never take my dogs anywhere but here.“

“Ashley at Gold Hill is amazing! He’s worked with 2 of my huskies Kylo and Padmé and worked wonders. Kylo went to Ashley’s as a one year old pup and is the best dog now. Well behaved and a pleasure to bring everywhere! Then Ashley worked with our 2 year old female rescue Padmé on her resource guarding where when she came home she started learning to share and not be so jealous and angry. I would recommend Ashley over and over again for even the most insanely hyper or agressive dogs. Don’t give up on your pup- take them to Ashley.“

“American River Canine saved our family! About two years ago, my fiancé and I adopted a German Shepherd named Bear from the Sacramento SPCA. Bear was, and still is, an energetic, fun-loving, sweet dog. He just wasn't friendly towards other dogs or cats. Bear would growl, lunge, and chase any other animal near him. Walking him just around the block was challenging because he would tug and try to go after other dogs and cats. It turns out that what we were interpreting as aggression, was actually pent-up excitement in Bear. Deric's extensive knowledge in psychology along with his years of experience working with dogs opened our eyes on how to better understand and communicate with Bear. Deric helped us work with Bear on commands like "place", "here", "out" and "leave it". Working on these commands seemed more like training for us humans, but it all paid off in the end. Nowadays, Bear is a much more obedient dog who can be in the same room as our cats without growling or trying to run after them. Walking Bear is no longer a scary activity. It is something we can do with ease. We even take Bear out in public places like Home Depot, PetSmart, and Iron Horse. We are also in the process of adopting another dog for our family too! Both Bear and our newer dog attend Deric's doggie daycare, The Nature of Dogs, twice a week. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Deric, we probably would have rehomed Bear. I am forever grateful for the dedication and insight Deric has given to our family. I would 100% highly recommend American River Canine for any of your canine training needs!“

“Love getting my vaxes through Vetco. From scheduling to the vaxes themselves, so easy and inexpensive. Grateful!“

“If you’re looking for a professional, caring and super knowledge trainer Unleash the Beast is the best! We had a super energetic toy poodle, 4 months old with no concept of commands. We also did not want to use treats so we signed up to the board and train and could not be happier with the results. I got pictures of our pup every day for 5 weeks, FaceTimes and also at home visits and training sessions to help us sustain the behaviour. I feel so blessed to have found this business and am pretty sure we will continue to work with Unleash the Beast throughout my dogs life - this training will improve our quality of life with our pup. I would do it again and again, money well spent! Thank you!!“
