C R Ranch - Modesto, California

Julie Nicolai

Our fur babies had a wonderful time while we were away for a 2-week vacation. They are very well staffed and experienced. And they let us tour & take pictures of the location before booking. Which made us feel comfortable knowing they would be safe, loved, and played with. Always being supervised, outside and inside. We will be going back, maybe even try out the daycare, to keep our fur babies socialized with other dogs safely.?

Can’t say enough about this Pet Hotel! My dogs absolutely love it here, I had two labs and one (DUKE) was overly excited when we would turn into the driveway (like a child going to Disneyland) my other lab Daisy is shy and doesn’t like to leave my side. Once I get her out of the vehicle she’s like “OH I KNOW THIS PLACE” & is ready for the pool. I’ve read some of the reviews on here and like I always say “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR” our pets are FAMILY, and I want them to have a safe, secure, fun environment to be at. I have boarded at other popular facilities and NONE COMPARE!!! I love that CR RANCH has the knowledgeable staff that cares about your fur- babies. When our Duke passed then sent very thoughtful personal card and it was very touching. I would recommend this place over & over to anyone. I honestly just can’t say enough about CR RANCH ❤️

So...

Leaving your fur baby, it's not easy. At all.

I contacted/stopped by at random after visiting another kennel. I was welcomed and shown around, no questions asked. My initial opinion is that it was very clean and their focus was on the dogs. I was told I needed to get my dog, Roxanne, a flu shot. Unfortunately my vet didn't have any so I went to pet I...but anyhow after all the immunizations we had to go for an evaluation.

My doggo has t really been around other doggos outside of she had a really old older sister (dog) that passed away so her interactions with other dogs and even people were limited.

Her first evaluation didn't go the greatest, she was scared and afraid of walking around the property and going inside. I was told she didn't pass but didn't fail. We went back in a couple of days and it went much better.

Then it was recommended she come do daycare/play dates for a half day to get her used to procedures and being around new people and other dogs.

Finally the week of her stay came. I packed up her food and a couple of comfort item as and off we went.

Now look, she's a GSD and though they can be fierce they are also big babies or mine is and a beloved member of the family...so leaving her was nearly like leaving my kids at school first day.

I know dogs pick up on vibes so I kept it brief and told her I'd see her soon (then sniffled as I drove down the street)

I called on her second day and she had "settled in" and shortly thereafter was saw pics of her on Facebook and insta.

The next day more pics she was smiling!

Then I found out...she made a friend named Duffy!!!! Aww her first doggo friend!

Today I went to pick her up and she was excited to see me but I think she enjoyed it because she was not sure whether she wanted to stay or go.

She looks healthy, her bedding was washed and she got a report card with everything detailed. Which is nice, her minimal issues were mostly breed related (shepherd related) I guess she had a little tummy trouble while there but it was handled well. (So we had some left over snacks etc)

So pet parents, rest assured...your loved pets are safe here. They take good care of them. I notice most of the staff is more geared towards the dogs, and less towards the humans (not a bad thing) but the dogs are the clients so I think that's perfect!

I wouldn't hesitate to leave my Roxanne here again. I may have her come sometimes just so she can play with some doggy friends. (Maybe she'll meet Duffy again!)

I wish she liked water, I saw all the water doggos splashing in pics and it looks fun!!!

C R Ranch is by far our number one choice for our fur babes. We have been coming here for years with one dog and now our second joined in as well! The staff is always so friendly and so great with our pups! When we drop them off, the dogs can't wait to leave us and go with the staff, we take this as a good sign! Then, while we are on vacation and see the updates online, it makes us so happy knowing how the dogs are being taken care of!
We definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs boarding!

This facility was so clean and well maintained. The staff was so friendly and my fur baby got to explore the ranch. I loved the report card which was very detailed. I would definitely be bringing her back.

Such a peace of mind when on vacation knowing our dogs are cared for. Thank you once again

Took my dog Piper there on 8/8/23. It was our first visit and I was not impressed. They took my dog back with no explanation of how her day would go or offer us a tour of the facility being our first time there. When we picked her up, same story, no critique on how her day went and how she responded to being at daycare or with other dogs. Would not recommend this facility. We went there on or dog trainer Amy recommendation, so thought we would get Top Notch service, guess we should have gone to that other place that truly is Top Notch.

We live on a nearby street and our dog ran away from home. We’re grateful for Matthew of C R Ranch who found Remy after his shift and helped reunite us. We also have always had a good experience boarding Remy at C R. Caring staff, clean facility, and great correspondence.
