"What a fun weekend our Ginger had! She had a
cozy bed, a fun group of doggies to play with, and lots of love from Bonnie.
Thank you for making our girl feel safe while we enjoyed beautiful
Yosemite!" - January 24, 2013

"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."

"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!" -

"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

"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

care my dogs are getting. This is the only place I have left my dogs that I can
go away knowing they are loved." - May 29, 2011
Michael T. from Groveland -
"My dog travels everywhere with me but when she
cannot Big Creek is my first and only choice for my 100 lb Black Russian.
Bonnie works magic with dogs and understands what keeps them all exercised,
happy and safe! This is a treasure in the community and dogs love to stay there
so make sure you are confident with your pooch relationship because the come
home loving Bonnie!!" - February 1, 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." -

"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. We know that they are
getting what they need with you, they come home happy & pooped! Thanks
again for all your great care. The Pearlman's Ohno and Hannah too!" -

"Big Creek Boarding is heaven for dogs-my Golden
Maggie LOVES going to Bonnie's! I can go away and leave her and never worry for
a second--and she never seems to want to come home! Bonnie so loves dogs she
even carries treats in her car and stops by when she is in our neighborhood.
Believe me , you will never use another kennel once you meet Bonnie." -

We could tell he wanted to be there!" - October 20, 2009
