"If my dogs could talk they would say "we love it a Big Creek Boarding" lots of room for the dogs to run freely and wouldn't leave them with anyone but the owner Bonnie" - December 12, 2012

 

Michael E. from Aptos -

"Our dog, Rocky, enjoyed his stay at Big Creek Boarding during our visit to Yosemite. The play area is very large and fenced in and the kennels are nice. Bonnie makes sure the animals feel welcome." - July 4, 2012

 

Karen from Groveland -

"Wonderful club med for doggies, they are so ecstatically happy to be there, you can almost see the smiles on their faces, lots of room to run around in the well fenced shady pasture, clean kennels and a lounge area with beds and TV. My dogs don't want to leave, when they get home they sleep all day... plenty of good exercise and fresh air. Bonnie truly loves the dogs, they are so happy to see her. The best doggie day care ever!" - May 18, 2012

"Our dog Chevy was a rescue dog and Bonnie is the only one he will stay with. We took him there as a puppy and it has been love ever since. I have met Bonnie in town to give her Chevy and he jumps in her car without even a wave goodbye to me. Chevy is in love and there are not too many people I can say that about. She is always accommodating and I know Chevy is well loved and taken care of. There are not too many places where the dogs lay around and watch TV. Thank you Bonnie for giving me peace of mind when I am on vacation." - May 10, 2012

 

Ariel G. from Groveland -

"The family LOVES Big Creek Boarding! We have a dog who we rescued from an abusive family. She was extremely timid of people and other dogs for so long, we wondered if her playful personality would ever shine. She was scared of everything, especially water...until we took her to Big Creek. Bonnie is so amazing with all of the dogs she boards, after we boarded Kokomo with her, we found our shy little dog was totally transformed! We now take Kokomo to Big Creek just because we know she loves it so much, she's become the queen of the wading pools and the Goodwill Ambassador for all of the other dogs! We love Big Creek Boarding because it's cozy and has a lived-in feel, not like most other sterile, commercial boarders. It's obvious to us that Bonnie really cares about our dog and Kokomo gets so excited to go to Bonnie's that my husband and I have started referring to it as "Doggie Day Camp". Thank you, Bonnie!! Ariel and Kevin" - January 22, 2012

Scott from Groveland -

"I recently moved to Groveland in order to better run a guide service in Yosemite. I had no idea who to contact about boarding my golden mix, Yogi; but I was told about Bonnie and Big creek Boarding and I gave her a call. Bonnie was quick to get back to me and VERY helpful. She told me about her below average rates, and upon visiting her location I was impressed by her above quality facility. Big Creek Boarding only takes 5-6 well-behaved dogs at a time. The dogs all get outside time daily at no extra cost. The outside area is large and offers many retreats and places for exploration and play. But most of all it is all about Bonnie! She cares for the dogs like they are her own, and this is special! On another note, Bonnie is extremely accommodating and flexible. She also doesn't let cost be an issue. After a two week visit with bonnie; I was pleasantly surprised that she cut my bill by almost 25 percent from her already low costs. Bottom line, Big Creek Boarding and Bonnie offer a great "home away from home" (or better yet "summer cam" - October 15, 2011

"Thank you Bonnie for taking such good care of our Risley! She had a wonderful time!! When she is not near us, she tends to not eat and not want to do much, but she ate every day and played with the other dogs- you made her feel very welcome and loved! She looks forward to visiting again! :)" - July 5, 2011

 

Kim S. from Colorado -

"We boarded Clifford with Bonnie 5/2011 for 5 nights while we were at the Strawberry Music Festival. He hadn't been boarded for 12 years (since we picked him up at a local shelter) so we were particularly concerned. He had a great time and Bonnie made him and us feel comfortable from our first contact with her. She really knows dogs and took GREAT care of him (including the nightly chicken strip or as she called it "the chocolate on the pillow"). He even went and buried his head in her legs before we left which is a sign of honor from our picky dog. Thank you Bonnie for taking such good care of our precious family member. WE WILL BE BACK!" - June 3, 2011

John H. from San Leandro -

"I am very happy to have found Bonnie/Big Creek Boarding. There are a number of dog boarding facilities near where I live that I have not been as happy with, and I highly recommend Big Creek. My dog Sparky always has a good time there, as they have a large area to run around and play in, as well as TV!I frequently go to Yosemite, and Big Creek is right on the way, but I also go out of my way to take Sparky there when I travel." - August 15, 2010

 

Pamela A. from Huntington Beach -

"Bonnie cared for our 2 1/2 year old newfoundland. It was his first kennel experience. I don't think he knew it was a kennel because he had so much fun there. He had to go back on a separate day and he couldn't wait to get inside to play with his friends again. We will be there again next year when we visit Yosemite. Highly recommended. Thank You Bonnie !!!!" - July 3, 2010

 

Marcy from Fountain Valley -

"We took our 10-month old Newfy Hannah to Bonnie's boarding facility for three days and two nights and were so pleased! Hannah had an amazing time and we enjoyed our hikes in Yosemite knowing that she was safe and happy. It really allowed us to enjoy our days without our Hannah knowing that she was in such good hands. We highly recommend Big Creek Boarding and plan to use Bonnie's facility next summer! P.S. Hannah really liked the baby pool - lounging in the water." - June 27, 2010

 

Julia and Charlie from San Francisco -

"We were so happy with the care, attention, and love our dog received at Big Creek Boarding! She seemed to have at least as much fun (if not more) as we did on vacation. The facility is super dog-friendly with plenty of room to run around and to relax. We highly recommend Big Creek Boarding!!" - May 31, 2010

 

The Pearlman Family from Groveland -

"Bonnie, Thank you from our family, and our four legged masters. We love that we can leave Hannah, and Ohno with someone like yourself; who loves and cares for them as we all do.
