Stone’s K9

We love Stone K9. I picked up my girls on ³⁄₁₆ and they were happy and settled back home immediately. They were not clingy or stressed which told me they had great care and had a nice stay. I am picky with kennels because I have one dog who is deaf and blind. She was boarded with her sister. Carol was so nice to give us a tour and answer all our questions. She has other clients who have blind dogs so she reassured us all will be ok. The kennel is large and clean and the outside area is large too. The dogs are rotated out in the outside area which is nice. I was able to text Carol to see how my girls were doing. She text me back that they are fine and love their treats. I am so happy we found Stone K9. We feel at ease when taking the 2 fur kids there again. Oh and the price is very reasonable. Thank you Carol for taking such great care of our loves.

Just getting around to leaving this review, but glad I didn’t forget. My husband and I have no family around and we had to go out of town. I’m always leery or feel bad leaving my dog anywhere, especially in a sterile environment like at a place such as Petsmart pet hotel. I always wonder if they get any outside time there or wonder how little the cage is they put her in. Stone’s K-​9 has actually removed my fear of bringing my dog, Josie, to a boarding facility (this one in particular). Carol was such a sweet person, and her husband Dan as well. The place was clean and the kennels were very large. I was actually pretty shocked to see how big they were. And how they have little cots off the floor to lay on. I love how big the dog runs were as well. I felt pretty confident when I left, that my dog would enjoy her time there. I love how it’s in the «country» and that my dog can lay out in the sunshine during the day (which she loves to do at home). The cutest thing ever was about a week later. We had received a card in the mail addressed to Josie, thanking her for her stay. Such a nice touch. There will be no second-​guessing dropping her off at this place. I just want to say thank you SO much for taking care of her. You’ve gained a customer for life as long as we are around. Such a hidden gem.

We just had our first experience at Stone’s K9. We took our Doberman for 2 days of boarding. Admittedly, I’m really picking when it comes to boarding facilities, but right off the bat, I felt at ease with Carol. It’s obvious that she’s in this business because she truly loves dogs. That’s the kind of person I want to leave my furry family member with, and I’m so glad I did. Our big guy was happy as a clam when we returned to pick him up. He did great and received everything he needed to have a comfortable stay. There was even a point where I looked at Carol and I thought to myself, this woman is amazing! What a relief to finally find somewhere we’re comfortable with. Thank you Carol and Stone’s K9!

I am so grateful for Carol at Stones k9 for helping us out in our unusual and very stressful situation with our babies! She’s so amazing and has made being seperated from them a bit easier with texts on how they are and pics. I give Carol and her team at Stones k9 10 stars! Thanks Carol, Shawn

My husband and I take our dog here frequently because they take such good care of our dog. Our dog requires medication on a daily basis and they have no problems with administering them. I would highly recommend anyone take their dogs here to take advantage of the services they provide because they are so very kind, helpful and accommodating.

Carol has been a life saver for us.
Our family has a German Shepherd that needs much more attention and care than most. He needs medication 3 times a day. Every day. Along with dietary restrictions. It’s never been a problem for Stone’s tho.
Until we found Stone’s, it was almost impossible for us to get away overnight because we just couldn’t leave our dog with anyone, and trust that he’d get the care he needs. He’s a handful and we know it. But since the first time we left him here, we’ve never had a worry.
If you’re still hesitant, contact Carol and bring your pooch out for a trial visit. Any worries you may have will quickly be put to rest.

I can not say enough good things about this place. We started bringing our dogs here a few months back and have used them quite a bit without hesitation.
We first went to check out the kennels on a surprise visit and were amazed at how clean they were. We did not tell them we were coming so it wasn’t as if they had cleaned up just for show. Every time we’ve been the kennels were exactly as they were the first time we saw them.
I have a very large dog (120 pound Great Dane) and thought the «horse stalls» would be perfect for him. My dog is not an outdoor dog so I was hesitant at first knowing it was outdoors. Then I saw the fans and even swamp cooler they have to keep the dogs comfortable. We’ve even taken our 20 pound Shorkie with the Dane and they both were well taken care of. No crying or whimpering whenever we take them.
I’ve enjoyed doing business so much with everyone in the kennels I’ve even started to take the dogs to the get groomed here. We had our golden retriever there and he came back looking amazing. The gals there took the time to explain everything they were going to do and why the cut was best for the breed.
While we have brought them many different breeds of dogs everyone we’ve come in contact with at the property seems to be very knowledgable of them all. Quite a relief and I feel good knowing my four legged babies are taken care of just as I would at home. Even given birthday treats when I had to leave one there on his first birthday.
Thanks again for all you guys do there

My first experience boarding was with Stone’s K9 and I am so happy I chose them. My pit bull is very skittish and she eventually warmed up to Steve. They reassured me while we were in Hawaii that my dogs were doing great, which was a huge relief. I’m not big on writing reviews, but it was their reviews as to why I went with them, and I am happy to say I made the right choice. I will use them in the future. Thank you Steve and Carol for taking care of my kids.

This place is fantastic. I moved to California in 2007 and needed to find a kennel close to home and with people I could trust. And I found it. Carol is great! The whole staff is great! I know that when I leave my «children» there that they will be well taken care of. I would recommend Stone’s K9 to anyone with a pet… and I do!

We have used Carol @Stones K-​9 since 2008… No other Kennel will ever compare to Stones. Carol and all her Staff are wonderful.
…Finding Carol @ K9 Stones has been the best find in our life… we can go away with complete piece of mind, it is like home from home for them… when we tell our dogs (2 Rotties… but one passed away few months ago from Cancer)… they are going to see Carol… They get so excited… straight to the truck… when we get to K9 Stones… They are out of the truck and right in the door to see Carol… When we pick them up again they look great, no weight loss, no crying… Just look like we never left them…
You will never find anywhere like K9 Stones… They are amazing… It feels like they are your own family, plus they are so ACCOMMODATING with time, giving medication, special needs, feeding… One of our dogs was on Chemo… when I asked Carol was she ok with Giving him his Chemo medication (have to wear gloves when handling the pill)…she automatically replied «Of course no problem»…(other Kennels would NOT give Chemo… it was only one pill 2 times a day)
…Also when you walk into the K-​9 Stones kennels you will be shocked to find how CLEAN IT IS & SMELLS SO GOOD… they keep their facility spotless, in the winter it is so cozy and warm and then in the Summer they have it really cool… I really cannot say enough about K-​9 Stones… They have a large sleeping area for each dog & your dog can go outside to his/​her own dog run… best set-​up I have ever seen.
We had tried a lot of places when we moved back to the city Our Family moved back to San Francisco in 2010, but we returned back to Antioch in 2013…
…Our biggest problem when we moved to San Francisco was finding Boarding for our 2 Rotties … the boarding Kennels had no experience with handling large breed dogs. kennels were really dirty, smell was terrible. too many dogs and not enough staff to look after them. In the few years in the City we tried 6 different Kennels… All were Terrible, one Boarding kennel did not even know we came back and got both our dogs… another had staff that asked us to go get our own dogs out of the kennels as she was scared of dogs… It was really an nightmare.
I only Wish I could give K-​9 Stones 10 stars as 5 is not enough… their service is 100%.
Please do not ever hesitate to use Carol @ K9 Stones… you will never find a facility as good as K-​9 Stones
Contact us if you ever want to verify.
Thx

We always leave our dog at Stones K9 because we know that he will be in good hands. Everyone is always so welcoming & accommodating to our dog needs. Carol is truly a dog lover & takes pride in her business.

Stone’s K9 is a great place to board your pups! The facilies are really clean, they have heaters for the dogs, plenty of space to play, the owners truly do love dogs and they are warm and super accomodating. We HATE leaving our dogs, but when we do, we will only board them at Stone’s K9.

My puppy came home looking so cute! And Gretch was so sweet. She took such great care of my dog and finished so fast. I know Rupert an I will be back.

Stone K-​9 is great and my dogs love going there! I never worry when Im needing to go out of town as they after my dogs and take great care of them!

Gretchen has groomed our dog twice, once just before picking him up from his week-​long stay with Stone’s K-​9 and the second most recent on Christmas Eve.
She’s great with our dog (who can be a big baby). Services are very affordable and it’s nice knowing exactly who will be handling your dog.
She worked us in at the last minute for Christmas Eve which worked great, just before my family was arriving — in and out in 45 minutes.
I LOVE the combo services with Stone’s K-​9 Boarding. It is such a pleasure to pick-​up a clean dog when you get home from vacation!

I can’t believe how great my dog looked when I picked her up, but the best was when she went running in to see her groomer, Gretch! She loves it here.
