Fantastic facility! I left my two dogs with AK Oceanside while I was in Hawaii. I was so anxious about the puppy who can be A LOT. Staff conducted a solid behavior test and found that she was perfect for the tiny tot camp. She ran and …

I feel animal keepers, took good care of my small dog for two and 1/2 days but when I went to pick her up, I was told they couldn’t find the extra food that I had left for her so I’m sure that they must’ve given it to another dog or kept it…
read moreNancy, we want to apologize about your dog's missing extra food you left for her. Our back staff is constantly feeding dogs their own food that's left labeled on a pantry or in a fridge, so we are sure it was just misplaced. We will make an effort to locate that extra food and call you when we find it, or we will compensate you for it. If our furry guests run out of food, we feed them NutriSourse at no extra cost, which has probiotics, prebiotics and proprietary minerals to heal the gut and prevent issues that arise from rotational feeding. Besides that, we are happy to read our services were able to provide your pup with a fun, safe, and clean space. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We hope to see you again!

Girls were too busy talking when I picked my dog, had to remind them of things I needed to pick and they never said anything when we left, handed me the dog and turned around and went back talking to the other girl and man at the desk.

We needed someone to watch Koda while on vacation and Animal Keepers had an open spot for him. They provided quality service.

read moreThank you so much Deb for this pawesome 5-star review! Doggie Day Camp gives Rain a balance of exercise, socialization, and fun along with our Day Camp staff. And don't worry about all the heat coming during the summer days... we got Rain covered with enough shade, fans, or refreshing pools depending on how warm the day gets. And when he gets home, he'll sure be a happy tired pup. See you and Rain again soon!
They were amazing! They helped my very nervous dog to relax, and do well. I would highly recommend them!

We chose The Animal Keeper as they were one of the…
