K9 Rustic Ranch is the perfect place for Ukko to ‘vacation’ when we travel. He really seems to enjoy his visits, and I like knowing that he is getting in some quality play time while we’re away. As an only dog, I think it’s really important for him to have the opportunity to interact with other dogs while we’re away. When he comes home, I can tell he’s had lots of fun running around because he is always good & tired! Thank you everyone at K9 Rustic Ranch for taking care of Ukko when I need to be away!
I have taken my pup, Otis, to Rustic Ranch twice now and am always so happy with how it goes. It is very convenient and they give my dog a lot of love and attention. It is a camp like feel so instead of feeling bad about taking your dog there, you are thinking he is getting a vacation too! When Otis gets back from Rustic Ranch, I know he had a blast because his behavior is better when he gets back. He is much more calm and I think it is because he got all his energy out at the Ranch! I will continue to take my dog to Rustic Ranch any time I am out of town and recommend them very highly to anyone that needs boarding for their dog.
K9 Rustic Ranch is simply the best! We would not trust our fur baby, Toothless, anywhere else but in Kristi’s care. Last year, as new puppy parents, our search for the perfect boarding facility was crucial to our peace of mind. Our search ended at K9 Rustic Ranch. As soon as we met with the team and toured the ranch, we were sold. Of all the places we saw, this was by far the most spacious and comfortable for Toothless.
K9 Rustic Ranch clearly loves these animals as their own, which is evident in their pricing and everything included. While other places charge for providing the basic necessities – feeding, medication, personal attention– this is all included at the Ranch. Most places we looked at charge extra for playtime! Imagine our surprise when we were told that Toothless would be free to run and play his little puppy heart out for most of the day. The big and little dogs are constantly swapped throughout the day for playtime in the big grassy yard. Our little water dog especially loves visiting in the hot months when Kristi has the pool set up for everyone. He also comes home with a bath after every stay and Kristi will pick him up and drop him off at our home for extra convenience (weekdays only).
We are so happy to have found K9 Rustic Ranch and have no intentions of ever looking elsewhere. Toothless always comes home to us exhausted and happy. Once the initial excitement of our return wears off, we can tell he misses the ranch and would much rather be there with all his new dog friends. We truly appreciate the awesome service and peace of mind we get here. Kristi is wonderful to work with and will keep you updated on your pooch with emails while you are away. Thank you for everything K9 Rustic Ranch! Toothless is perpetually looking forward to his next visit!
When we first moved to San Diego a few years ago, we had a very difficult time finding a place to board our German Shepherd, Kaiya. We were shocked by not only the up front expense of most boarding centers, but also by the hidden fees and the ridiculous focus on providing private rooms with couches and televisions for your dog. Kaiya doesn’t need a television; she needs space to run and play. After many frustrating phone calls, someone finally recommended the K9 Rustic Ranch. The price was right and the space looked great. We visited with Kaiya before leaving on a holiday trip and she loved it. Now we use the convenient pick-up and delivery option. As soon as Kristi pulls up to the house, Kaiya can’t wait to run and jump into her car and get to the Ranch. We never ever feel guilty about leaving Kaiya because we know she is receiving excellent care and her actual dog needs, not the technological needs some other overpriced places invent, are being met. Kaiya comes home clean, happy, and exhausted, a sign of a wonderful boarding experience. We can’t recommend K9 Rustic Ranch enough.
