Excellent service.

Always professional, friendly and accommodating ❤️

We drove hundreds of miles and spent hundreds of dollars testing places to Board our dog. Citizen Canine was the best for so many reasons. First: the human to canine ratio. It’s about 1 human to 10-12 dogs. Most have one or two staff trying…

The workers were kind to my dog Pisces and she was a happy puppy when I picked her up.

Best doggie day care ever!

Buster and Rocket love Camp Canine! They come home happy and played-out tired. The location is perfect for flights out of OAK and the extended hours are a huge convenience.

Very good staff. Dog well taken care of. A bit pricey.

Citizen Canine is the only home away from home Jake has ever known over the past 11 years. All of the staff are attentive, caring people who show how much they love their jobs. Jake is very comfortable, well taken care of and always happy …

Citizen Canine is so welcoming and so caring. They treat my dog Pinky like their own pet. They usually have last minute availability as long as you have proof of the vaccines.

Thank you so much Citizen Canine for taking good care of my dog…

I am looking to board my dog when I go on vacation. Vi have not used their services but all reviews were positive. I plan to schedule a visit to observe it if they allow that from a potential customer.

All of the staff is amazing

When I dropped off my pooch for his first daycare, he was very nervous and highly trembling. The handler gathered him into his arms and within a short time he became less anxious.

The staff seem to be exceptional lovers of animals.

I was …

Citizen Canine provides great care for my dog. They give her enough attention, activity, and safe socializing with other dogs that keep her happy when we can’t take care of her.

I just has a day of day care, and was satisfied. I am going to use them for a longer vacation trip, looking forward for a boarding experience!!

We have used Citizen Canine for approximately 14 years with our past two dogs and our current dog. All of our dogs have been excited to run into the lobby and through the doors to their rooms, without any hesitation. In addition, while …
