The Grateful Dog - Greenbrae, California

Kelsey Kaplan

My dog almost died after boarding at the Marin facility last week. I am afraid the SF and Marin locations are owned and operated by the same people. As a responsible pet owner and for the safely of all of our beloved dogs in SF Bay Area, this needs to be said. She contracted bacterial pneumonia at the facility per the radiologist’s report. When I picked her up I could feel all the bones down her back and her eye was so crusted shut I thought she had lost an eyeball. She hadn’t been eating for days and no one bothered to call me and alert me to this. I could have picked her up four days earlier but instead spent $8k on a weekend stay at the vet. This facility is completely negligent.

I was staying in the area for a week at a neaby RV park and I was able to take my dog, Luna, here on a couple of different days so that I could go into San Francisco to do some activities that weren't as dog friendly. They were very thorough in making sure Luna had her vaccinations and had a good temperament, which helped me feel comfortable leaving her there with other dogs who had gone through the same process. I was really happy that they got us set up so quickly given that we were only in town a short while. And on both of the days I took Luna in, she was all smiles when I picked her up and then out like a light once we got home to the RV, so I know she had a good time. Great little place!

Our dog, Waylon, LOVES The Grateful Dog in Greenbrae. He gets very excited as we drive toward it each day. We, his parents, love it too. All the people who work there seem to really love dogs and it is reasonably priced. They even send me pictures!

Very accommodating. We came in from out of town and needed our dogs in daycare for the day. We were able to get all of our paperwork processed/verified the night before with a quick meet and greet in the morning. Our leashes did come home smelling/saturated with urine which was odd but nothing a good wash vouldnt help with. The pups were exhauselted from a full day of playing and went to sleep right after we got back and finished our night routine.

Our pup absolutely loves this place. They handle the dogs brilliantly

Since it’s mainly an indoor facility, the pups do come home bearing a bit of pee odor, but it’s nothing a quick wipe down with doggy wipes can’t fix. (We keep them in our car)

The staff is super kind and always greets our pup by name

We had an amazing experience here! Every Labor Day weekend our family treks from Sacramento to Bodega Bay. We always beat the heat and have a great time surrounded by family and fun! the only bummer is, the house we rent doesn't allow our four legged friends. In the past, we have always hired a house sitter (an 80 year old gentleman) who hangs with our boxer and makes sure he gets his food. But he doesn't get his two walks a day, nor does he get to just be his high- energy self. This year, we decided to look in to boarding him and we are so glad we did!! He went in excited and came out zonked!! He slept the whole drive home and has been just relaxing the last 18 hours! Which is great since we came home to 113 degree heat! Nothing is better for a naturally hyper pup than socializing with other pups! He had a great vacation alongside of us! Thank you to the Grateful Dog!!! What a stellar team!!!

I have two dogs that we take to The Grateful Dog for overnight boarding. I feel confident that my dogs are well-cared for there. The staff are friendly, professional, and seem really invested in the dogs. I appreciate that the facility is clean, open, and well lit. And the price is reasonable -- especially with the multi-day packages and multi-dog discount.

My dog Bella loves the Grateful Dog! They have been awesome with accommodating my last minute reservations when I have to travel for work, or out of State. I highly recommend them for boarding in Marin!
