When I went to pick up my dog she had a sore on her tail, probably from chewing out of stress. Totally raw, very painful. People who work here failed to ever notify anyone in our family that this was happening. She also dropped from 40+ to 35 lbs while here. My mom (who is by no means a veterinary nutritionist) provided improper feeding instructions, when I asked if they had started feeding her extra I was told something like “those are the instructions you gave us what did you want us to do?” Maybe let us know she was losing weight and use common sense to feed her more! Communicate. To put into perspective that’s like someone dropping from 180 to 155 in a matter of weeks. Really terrible guys, do better. Would not recommend anyone keep their dogs here, Tails of Terra Linda provides much better service. So sad to think other dogs might receive the same treatment.

I read about this place and thought it had good reviews. I brought my Guinea pigs there and left the people with veggies, food, hay and strict instructions for each day. When I picked them up I found them without hay (terrible for a grazing animal) and there water bottle had a different drink lid than the one I brought. Which means they switched with another guinea pigs. Fatal mistake as this could cause my guinea pigs to get ill and potentially die. I will NEVER ever leave any pets here again. From my point of view my pigs were not fed correctly and could have been killed due to contamination of water bottle lids. STAY AWAY! I am not sure how these people are diamond certified but if you care about your beloved furry friends (dog, Cat, guinea pig, etc) don’t bring them to this dungeon. I have another trip coming up and have chosen to take my piggies elsewhere and pay twice the price as this place does not understand animal care.

I really, really wanted to like this place as the staff seemed really nice. My dog was stressed being in a small kennel and unless you pay extra for them to walk your dog, that's where your pet will stay. At least that was my understanding. I paid for the extra walk a day.

I checked out this facility and you can hear the dogs barking and crying from down the hill. The staff were friendly enough but the conditions looked sub par and the dogs seemed intensely unhappy, more than normal separation anxiety from being boarded. Yelp was overall favorable but there were a few horror stories I should have taken more seriously before coming to check out the facilities. 3 of their previous 4, now 5 including this one, reviews on Google+ are from people in India, and within the past month. Not a lot of vacationing in this part of Marin, and I bet people wouldn't bring their pets from India to board them while on vacation. Disingenuous, and a little alarming at how those reviews came into existence, I would imagine you could buy reviews fairly cheaply from people overseas.
