Citizen Canine

When we needed a new doggy day care we auditioned a ton of places. This one is just too out of the way for us for daycare but we love it so much that it is our go to for boarding! I love that everyone here seems to love my dog. Before coming here my dog was afraid of water and their park made her a now regular splasher. I love seeing their social media stories. The play/rest/play model is critical for my dog and they really nail it. I'm also a SUCKER for the add-ons. More fetch time? Yes. A pup cup? She deserves it. Easter egg hunt? T . T I'm crying. Thank you for loving my girl. We love you so much.

I been taking our girls (Hannah and Layla) to Citizen Canine since 2023. Hannah started first and later Layla joined her. They are both in the Enrichment program since Hannah is very timid and shy and tends to have a hard time adjusting. She eventually comes out of her shell. The staff is so wonderful, patience with Hannah and they take their time with her. Layla is easy going and is Hannah’s playmate. We feel at ease leaving them for a day, night, or long period of times. Layla does take daily medicine and they ensure is administered. We can see how much care and love they give our girls. I am very happy and pleased with their services. When they are in their care, we look forward to their Instagram stories. We are glad we found Citizen Canine! Thank you for a great job well done!!!

Citizen Canine is a great option for care if you have a well-behaved pup. I just want to caution anyone looking for support with dogs (especially if they’re med to large) who struggle with any reactivity or other behavioral issues. While the trainer Juju is very good with these kind of dogs and the employees have big hearts and the intention to meet your pup’s needs, their facility is just not set up for these tougher cases. I was really excited to bring my dog here because of the way it was advertised to support enrichment without overstimulation, but that just isn’t the case unfortunately. The hallways are pretty small and the way the exit is set up means lots of enclosed, busy, loud, stressful interactions for your dog. Again, highly recommend for calmer/easy dogs, the staff is amazing

My husband and I loved everything about Citizen Canine. After one of our two chihuahuas got denied from other boarding places we decided to expand our search across other cities in the Bay Area. After reading some reviews we decided to go with Citizen Canine even though it's a 45 minute drive. From start to finish, the staff was very professional and truly caring. Our dogs connected with staff and other dogs (yay) and we just couldn't believe the difference between other places and Citizen Canine. Not only were our dogs cared for, we could tell that they had fun and the staff built their trust. When picking our dogs up the manager Timothy kindly put sweaters on our dogs (chilly day) and we were in awe since one of our dogs does not make it very easy to put a sweater on...LOL. We can't w

Summary: Nice people with good intentions, but missed a HUGE health issue while boarding my pet. For a while I was happy with Citizen Canine. They're nice folks who generally care about the dogs. However, the last time I boarded my dogs there, for a period of around 10 days, they missed a huge health issue that popped up with one of them when we were out of the country. During the stay, they contacted me to report that my boy dog wasn't behaving well as he normally did. (Very odd for my sweet fella - red flag #1). They put him into a semi-isolation scenario where he got enrichment with the staff, but didn't get to play with the other dogs, except for his sibling. When I went to pick him up, they reported again that he didn't behave appropriately, and that he stopped being responsive to t
