Pet boarding/training near Lafayette

“Hillary did a wonderful job training my unruly rescue pup. They took the time to really understand his personality and tailored their training so that he could be successful. They met with me almost weekly to train me to be successful with him. He went to them headstrong, hyper, and nippy and and came home as a polite, sweet, loving puppy. I can’t thank Hillary enough for training this puppy and being able to keep him in our family.“

“Attentive and caring service. Staff is very sweet and accommodating. The Pack is a wonderful cornerstone in the East 9th Corridor community.“

“cannot recommend Diablo Dog enough. We’ve used them for multiple services over the years including private walks, group hikes, grooming, and boarding, and every single experience has been amazing. They are incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about the dogs they work with.

Our dogs always come home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for after hikes and walks. Grooming has also been fantastic. They take their time and do such a great job. What really stands out though is the people. Everyone on their team is kind, professional, and clearly loves what they do.

It’s rare to find a company that you trust this much with your dogs. Whether you need walks, hikes, grooming, or overnight boarding, they truly go above and beyond. So grateful to have them in our community.“

“Nice facility. Easy access. Adequate, professional, friendly staff.
Highly recommend.“

“Les is very kind and patient and taught us a lot of good and important things during a crucial time in our adolescent dog’s development.“

“John is an exceptional trainer. He worked with my Australian Shepherd, Bouncer, and the improvement was immediate and lasting. His calm, confident approach makes dogs feel secure, and he clearly understands canine behavior at a deep level. I would trust him with any dog for training or boarding.“

“I’ve reached out to Brad several times for advice with my dogs, and every time his guidance has been spot on. He has a way of helping me look at situations from a perspective I wouldn’t have considered on my own, which makes such a difference for my dogs. His expertise, patience, and thoughtful approach have been incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful for his support. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer!“

“Muir Oaks has been the best vet we have gone to. This is saying a lot because we have moved often and gone to at least 7 different vets in the last 6 years. They are great fantastic for veterinary care and they are amazing for boarding. My dog was extremely aggressive to most people and dogs, but here she was able to connect with the staff and feel more comfortable. They also comforted us when we unfortunately had to put her down. They gave us the kindness we needed and treated us like we really lost a family member, which we did. If I still lived in the area, I would be a lifelong client.“

“We were happy with our Golden’s care and grooming! It was his first time and the staff was very nice and dog/owner friendly. I appreciated the phone call updates on estimated completion time.“

“Woof is our pups home away from home! As soon as we enter the building, Reeghan runs to the back door where all the other dogs are located. The owners and staff are the best and very attentive. We've always felt comfortable leaving him for short or longer stays without worrying about if he's okay. We find that this is his Reeghan's 2nd Happiest Place on Earth!“

“If you’re looking for a well-run, positive place to drop your dog off for daycare or boarding, Dog Over Breed is fantastic. We’ve been taking our pup there since she was just 4 months old, and now at 11 months she still loves it. The new Concord facility is clean, easy to get to, and very well maintained. The owner has been incredibly helpful with advice throughout our dog’s young age, and it’s been a wonderful place for her socialization. Our dog is always excited to go and sleeps like a rock after we bring her home. This is a trusted East Bay business with great people who clearly“

“Unbelievably great service. We gave them a totally out of control Golden Retriever puppy and received back a wonderfully behaved loving companion who we now love with all of our hearts. This is the most professional, experienced and supportive service …who care about their clients…both the dog and the owners. We learned that it’s not just about training the dog…it’s about educating the owners as well. Without their training we would never have had the ability to understand and enjoy our Milo to the fullest. These trainers are simply the best. If you want to have the very best experience with your dog, let them teach you how that’s done. You won’t be sorry. The experience with them has changed our lives.

“I absolutely love this veterinary clinic! The doctor is knowledgeable and compassionate, and the staff are always friendly and caring. They truly treat your pet like family and provide excellent care every time.“

“Very nice very gentle with the animals

I had a big bill for a tooth extraction for my cat and they helped me navigate the nightmare of pet insurance and argue for future coverage despite an early miscommunication with the insurance. They said it wasnt possible and oasis made it possible.“

“Our family has been relying on East Bay for over five years, providing care for our several cats and fishies while on vacations. When returning from trips, we always find our animals and home extremely well cared for. Sitters are knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive.“

“Dr. Wright was great and everyone else we interacted with was very nice. This was our first visit with our newly adopted dog who is very fearful after coming from a hoarding situation. Dr. Wright answered all of our questions. Everyone handled him patiently and with good care. I found the pricing/estimate process to be comparable to an independent practice where I currently take my cat. They presented top tier care options and gave me time to ask questions and prioritize.“

“Great place. Great prices and super friendly staff. Dog seems to love it, they give photos after the stay which is nice!“

“Highly recommend Dog Balancing. Our dog has some anxiety. Terry evaluated her and listened to us. Our dog did very well and received great care.“

“Moran is excellent with our girl! She does a good job and is very contentious. While heatedly recommend her.“

“We highly recommend Critter Pet Care & Pam. Our cat, Jade, loves staying there since she gets to roam around and hang out on the various soft beds at different heights in the area. Pam treats Jade like one of her own. She sends us pictures and videos while we are away. And generally Pam goes out of her way to show her love and attention to our cat (and others, of course). Critter Pet Care is by far the best place we have ever boarded Jade. We go on vacation without worrying about her at all. It's the best possible setup for Jade. In fact I think she often doesn't want to leave! Thank you so much for your kindness and care.“

“I took my dog to 5 different Vets for an ear infection and none of them could fix the problem. Went to Sexton 3 times and he couldn't fix it, actually got worse. I called because it was so bad and he told me she's going to have to wait til next week because she was uncooperative, what an anus! Went to the vet if front of Sexton 5 times for just a temporary fix. Thought I would try the Vet across from my shop, BINGO! She fixed it the first time! My daughter took her dog there with a runny eye and he was better in 2 days. I'm glad there is somebody around here that knows what they are doing. And BTW, I started out at Bishop Ranch about 5 times b4 I went elswhere. I think they temporarily fix it so you keep coming back and paying 2 to 300$.“

“This was my first time using a mobile groomer and I cannot believe I hadn’t used one sooner. His last groomer asked that I didn’t bring him back as he was a bad boy while he was getting his nails done. I did inform Paul the owner of the company of this when on the phone and he reassured me that it wouldn’t be a problem. Paul the owner of the company came out to groom my boy Leopold and I must say I was quite nervous as Leopold doesn’t normally warm up to people, men in particular. When I opened the door, you would have thought they had known each other for years. His tail was wagging and Paul knelt down for a bathing of kisses. Paul took the time to go over all my concerns and he took Leo off for his grooming. When they returned Leo’s tail was still wagging and he looked great. His coat has never felt so soft and he smelt great. Paul told me he was a joy to groom and he would be more than happy to come back to groom him anytime. I highly recommend On The Spot Pet Grooming and I could tell Paul really enjoys and knowledgeable about dogs. I did also like that he quoted me a price on the phone and there were no hidden add-ons once he came and took care of Leo. I know Leo has found his lifetime groomer.??“

“We've had an incredible experience with Jojo! She is so sweet, and has such a calming energy. She has a ton of experience with animals and is super knowledgeable. She has helped my family inculcate new habits to accommodate and help our dog to accept new surroundings, new people. We have grown so much as the guardians of a nervous dog and we couldn't have done it without Jojo's guidance! THANK YOU!“

“Janice is an incredible trainer. Her wealth of knowledge is so impressive! She is thoughtful, responsive and makes training really fun and informative. She helped my dog with leash reactivity and really meets pups where they are at. Highly recommend.“
