Joshua Tree Pet Resort

We have no stress when leaving the canine member of our family here — very loving environment. The second I grab my dog’s «travel bag,» she gets SO excited, because she knows she gets to go to her favorite place. They take such great care of their four-​legged guests, and ours always comes home clean and smelling great. The socialization is safe and accommodations are comfortable, no matter how hot or cold the desert elements are. The care at JTPR is exceptional, clean, safe and experienced.

3 words: MINI PIG FRIENDLY! it’s so hard to find a pet boarding place that will take in mini pigs, at least in the area where i live. Really nice people work here and I felt safe leaving my pet here. Big area for my pig to run around in and safe indoor place to sleep in with AC. I recommend this place to anybody with pets that need boarding. I will continue to use this place as long as they continue to take in my mini pig.

My dog Suu Kyi had an excellent time here! I always worry about her when I leave her somewhere because we’re very attached to each other. She is my service dog. But Chris was sending me updates and Suu Kyi made friends and seemed to have a great time. There is lots of room here and dogs can play with each other. She got a peanut-​butter filled Kong treat every day – the proceeds of which go to the local shelter. The rates are very reasonable and the family lives on the property. Thanks Chris and family for the excellent service. We’ll be back!

I went to drop my puppy off during drop off hours and waited over an hour calling and ringing the buzzer and nobody answered. I was supposed to get my dog shots and have her boarded over night. There was another lady with her dog that had been waiting a half an hour. Finally I left and used a different facility. Hours later I received a phone call about a family emergency and was invited back with a discount rate. I didn’t put a comment then because I understand things happen. So months later I made a spa appointment. i showed up 15 minutes prior to get paperwork or whatever filled out. 2 children answered the door, the older one said she would take my dog to the other building. I told her I would, I have a Shiba Inu and as you know if they get loose it’s going to be awhile til I find it. I took her to the building and the lady wasn’t there. The girl went to the main house to call and said it would be an hour. I didn’t see an adult, any paperwork with my dogs info, never asked for my shot record (what happens if I left her and she got loose or bit someone). I thanked her and went to Petco. Out of the 2 times I have been there I haven’t seen an adult. I am sure once they have your pet they are great with them, but I had 2 bad experiences within a few months. So I will not be going back. I hope your luck is better than mine. I don’t know what happened that time because I never received a callback, but I’m just giving you a heads up. Each time it was out of my way ½ there and a ½ hour home not including the time I spent waiting.

JTree is one of the best climbing spots in the western region and we are frequent visitors. Because we usually spend all day climbing and then either driving back to LA or camp at the park, I decided to start bringing my dog with us. She is an old lab with some arthritis problems, so being in a bigger sized boarding kennel is great. I love it when I come to pick her up and I see her just running around the play area! When she sees me, she sprints towards the gate with the owner… happy as a clam! I love the down-​to-​earth facility and people. I know Madd is in good hands when she is there and I have no worries. Also, the last time I picked her up, I gave Christine a tip (nothing big, probably 5 – 10 $) and she said it will probably go towards an adoption fee for another rescue! I love hearing this. Hands down, the best boarding and daycare facility in the area.

I had a wonderful experience here! My boyfriend and I went to Joshua Tree to camp, but were unable to leave the dog behind. I was able to make a reservation with short notice and send his documents via email ahead of time. They even administered him with his Bordetella vaccine to get him up-​to-​date!
Christina was really funny and very personable. Rufio seemed to have enjoyed himself as well, because he was exhausted!
We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything :)

We started taking our dog here when we moved to California in October. We really like the facility and the fact that the owner lives on the property. We have used many different day care/​boarding facilities in our travels and really appreciate that day care and overnight boarding are included in the price of the stay. My dog is way too energetic to stay in a kennel all day.

Do not go here. Worst customer service I have received at any business in the last ten years. I dropped my dog off and it took an hour to fill out paperwork and give them my pet. They started complaining that my dog barks too much and started insulting my dog in front of me. When I picked her up, they told me I would basically have to beg them to take her again… No worries there I def won’t be visiting ‘quality pet boarding’ ever again. I recommend you don’t, either.

Went to Joshua tree roots music fest and since dogs aren’t allowed, I had to find a mini vacay for my pup, Indigo Jones. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time boarding her, the last time being her extensive stay in an animal shelter before I found her and took her home.
Well, she loved it. I actually came and picked her up a night early, joking with my boyfriend we were breaking her out of jail. I wish I hadn’t. She seemed utterly bored sitting by the campfire with us, and restless to be running free with the many friends she made during her short stay.
I am very thankful to them for taking such good care of my girl. I live in San Diego, and I am seriously considering making the 5 hr roundtrip drive for her to stay with them when I go on vacation next month for 2 weeks.
Pros:
–the owner lives on site with her family.
— there are 3 or 4 separate play areas, and dogs are matched to maximize fun.
–super affordable
–it was clean and organized
Cons:
— drop off/​pick up times are 8 – 10 am and 4 – 6 pm, which takes a little more planning. But I completely understand, this is a family business, I wouldn’t want people ringing my doorbell all day either.

I’ve been keeping a keen eye on this page, watching the back-​and-​forth one-​star /​five-​star he-​said she-​said reviews for Quality Pet Sitting with great interest, and not just because it was me who initially outed QPS on Unilocal, after several excellent visits. I also travel and need occasional kennel care for a mutt with special needs.
I appreciate that Chris has paid attention to these Unilocal reviews. I’ve received numerous personal email messages thanking me for the feedback I’ve provided here. Chris has even changed the fee structure to save customers money on overnight stays. Each 24-​hour stay is $ 20. Clear, simple, straightforward. Kudos, Chris! That’s good business.
Chris cares about the animals and the quality of her care… it obviously matters to her, and she takes criticism to heart. That goes a long way with me, because quality of service and care seem to be at an all-​time low in this day and age, and from experience I know how difficult it is to take criticism gracefully, or at all, period. That Chris is an attentive, caring business owner who has on numerous occasions sought out feedback from me (as a loyal customer and as one who has Unilocaled her services) makes her a rare breed. On both occasions when Chris reached out, she always thanked me for my my feedback and I’ve complied, we’ve opened a dialog that has benefitted us both and, ultimately, her patience and understanding with my dog has helped me understand my sweet and sassy Bella just a little bit better.
So, the next time I drop off the pooch and go out on the town in LA, I’m going to enjoy every minute of it, including the fact that check out isn’t until noon, because I know Bella is in good hands. (And, if I play my cards right, so am I.)

Great local option to keep your pets immunizations current. $ 20 a shot, right there at their vet center. Quick, easy and keeps your dogs healthy. Don’t get a ticket for not having your dog current on rabies shots or licenced. 29 Palms ticket is $ 500 per dog!
Get your shots done at Quality Petsitting and Boarding or to help insure safe return of a lost pet, ask them for Microchipping too!

One day we opened our door to find a dog of a rare breed who adopted us. He showed us the paperwork so it was official. The only thing was we were heading out of town soon thereafter and we had no idea what to do. We saw Kerri’s review and took a chance. It should be mentioned we have nothing to compare this business to since this was the first time we have ever gone to any pet boarder. So the only thing we can say truthfully is that after we picked up our dog he seemed happy to see us and sad to be leaving the boarders all at the same time. So we tried it a second time and our dog seemed even happier. That is all we can really say other than the facilities look clean, there is a lot of room for dogs to run around and that Christina really does seem to care. So we have been recommending this place to others.

Being in the military, I’m constantly traveling. I almost felt too bad bringing my dog to the high desert, but since I live alone here we are!!! I’m so thankful to have Christine when I go out of town. The prices are reasonable and my pooch gets to play while I’m gone! The facalities are clean and well kept. Christine ensures she takes all your dogs information (shot record, feeding schedule, etc) to keep your pooch on schedule. Plus you can bring your own dogs bedding, this is huge for me since my dog is very spoiled and sleeps in the bed. I always feel bad dropping off my pup, but he’s always happy there!

I’ve had Christine come and do in house visits with our cats and dog. She always made sure that she was clear on everything we wanted her to do and left daily notes of what she did, and even cute stories of how the cats and and dog were behaving. She went above and beyond the basics (I think she even watered my plants!).
Christine is a very responsible and lovely person. When I asked to board our new puppy she was sure to point out which vaccinations were needed to insure a safe and healthy visit, even if that meant her not receiving our business at that time or less money since we weren’t able to board him until after a vet visit. I like a business that puts my pets health and safety over the business of making money.
I’ve visited her kennel many times and the animals all seem very happy. Not a lot of barking and whining like you hear at other kennels. She also seems very organized about giving the dogs their daily routine of fun :-)
I’ve recommended her kennel to many people and they’ve all told me how happy they were and that they felt the prices were very reasonable.
