Two Rock Dog Ranch

This is the place, don’t bother with anywhere else if you have Two Rock as an option. We have taken our dog here multiple times and he has a blast. He comes home and sleeps for days because he’s so exhausted from playing! I LOVE the staff and the owner Sue. They are incredibly professional and try their best to accommodate your needs. They have a huge ranch and the dogs are grouped by play style and size, and they play 7am until 9pm outside! There is places for the dogs to rest and sit in the shade, or jump over logs etc. There is a handler with them all the time and they accommodate medications, grooming and anything else. They also take pictures so you can see how much fun your dog had during their stay. I believe there should be a Two Rock in every city so dog owners can rest assured their dog is having the time of their lives.

This a great place for dog day care and boarding. Your dog can even have a bath and get nails clipped before going home. I appreciate the stringent health requirements and evaluation process. Our dogs get so excited when we make that turn on to MTR Road!

Vino absolutely loves going to «doggy ritz carlton!» Nothing makes me happier or feel more comfortable than seeing her get excited as soon as we make the final turn to get to the ranch followed by her running in the door. The staff absolutely adore dogs and every dog who is allowed to stay at the ranch is evaluated to make sure they are friendly. They have thought of absolutely everything from small play groups which has one person per group monitoring them, to heated cement floors when it is cold and big air conditioners when it is hot. Vino comes back happy and tired when we pick her up and I cannot imagine sending her anywhere else.

We have been taking our dogs here for years. Our previous dog (now deceased) went to this location when we went on vacation over a span of 10 years. Every time he came home healthy, happy and tired! When we’d leave the place, he would look out the back window looking as though he was sad to leave (I swear!). I loved getting the pictures of his happy face when we picked him up and the report card about how he ate, who he played with and how he slept. Now we have a new pup and he just spent two entire weeks with them (our longest trip yet). I felt bad leaving our new boy so long, but did know he would be in good hands. When I picked him up, the staff all knew him, told stories about him and I know he got the human attention he needed along with the fun doggy play time. I recommend this place to all my dog loving friends and will keep going back. Thanks Two Rock! you rock!

Love this place! Been going there for almost 5 years with my two labs and they still get excited upon going there. They love it each and every time!

I think they’ve set up a nice environment for the dogs here, but the management is completely inept. We were never charged for our dog’s stay (they dropped him off at our place in San Francisco) and then the manager called me 8 months later to say that she was going to give our bill to collections. I reminded her that she never billed us, and she responded with «yes, I realize that and these things often slip through the cracks.» The reason that our dog was taken to our home is that the ranch is open at the most inconvenient times. I do not recommend this as a solution for San Francisco-​based dogs. For example, on Labor Day weekend, they were closed for pick-​up on Sunday and Monday — so have fun taking the day off work to pick up your dog! Or you can pay about $ 200 to have him dropped off in SF. We’re never taking our dog here again.

We have been bringing our «babies» (2 Australian Shepherds) here for more than 10 years, several times a year. Sue, the owner is wonderful as is her business. She truly cares about the welfare of the dogs. The place is meticulous inside with lots of very large fenced areas outside, for the dogs to use. We are so releived that this place treats them so well and that we don’t have to worry about their welfare while we are away.
I have recommended this place to many people and nobody has been disappointed so far. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has to board their dogs.

My Boxer/​Ridgeback loves it here! I’ve been meaning to write this review for awhile cause it is well deserved. Whenever I have a trip planned I drive all the way up to this gem from San Francisco, it’s that good. Oh and the cost for an overnight and all day play cannot be beat.
It takes A LOT to tire my 70 lb mutt bundle of energy (sometimes a six mile jog barely cuts it)…and these folks know how to do it! For two days after I pick him up he doesn’t want to go outside let alone get off the couch, which is a great bonus for a dog owner who has to be «On» all the time!
Two Rock sends your pup home with cute photos and a report card. He still has never gotten a timeout so I guess he is behaving & having a blast while I’m away.
Thanks Two Rock Dog Ranch, we will see you again soon!

My husband and I were really anxious about finding the right boarding facility, since we were going to be away for 3 weeks for our wedding/​honeymoon. We came across Two Rock online and tried it out for a day before deciding to board our puppies there. The facility was really clean, spacious (with LOTS of space for outdoor play) and the employees all seemed to really enjoy working there/​being with the dogs — they knew them all by name, and were caring for them as though they were their own. They were also extremely helpful with special requests (ex. giving medications etc). Our dogs seemed to really love it there — they came home very happy and healthy after their stay. Now anytime we drive up towards Two Rock, they start Unilocaling with excitement, trying to get out of the car!!!

Almost three years later and Bear and I are still very happy clients! Best doggy daycare/​boarding in Sonoma County!

This is the best place to bring your dogs for daycare and boarding!
I used to live in the North Bay and we were regular customers for daycare and boarding. We came at least once a week, after which my dogs were exhausted and happy. Then I moved to the South Bay where my experience with daycares were not as great (much more expensive and no outdoors). I just had the chance to vacation up north for a few days, and brought my dogs to the ranch for boarding, to give them a vacation from me. I was so happy to be able to give them two days of play time somewhere perfect in environment and safety. When I picked them up, we got report cards of how they did along with photos of them playing with their doggy friends.
Sue and the staff there are always so kind and friendly and they let you know they appreciate you and they truly understand and love dogs. I’m looking forward to having my dogs visit them again, hopefully sometime soon.

Our two dogs, Buffy & Maggie, love going to Two Rock Dog Ranch almost more than spending time at their own home! Sue, Amber and all the wonderful staff couldn’t be more loving and accommodating. I travel extensively for work and have total peace of mind knowing my dogs are in the very best of care… and it’s SPOTLESS! There is simply no better place to board dogs in the entire Bay Area!
Thank you for providing a special place for our precious pets.

Well, I was all excited to find what might be a great place to take my dog for daycare, having just moved to Western Sonoma. My dog has been in daycare since she was 14 weeks old and is a very dog friendly girl that I have taken through multiple off-​leash classes and has beautiful dog-​dog skills. I am a Certified Pet Dog Trainer and I took her socialization seriously so I would have a dog and people friendly girl. However, because she is an Alaskan Malamute, she is NOT permitted to attend this facility. What a shame. She will earn her Canine Good Citizen this year and is a stellar example of how proper socialization early on begets a great dog. Sad that these folks don’t consider actually meeting the dog first.

Let’s just say I’m a pretty serious animal lover. This week I came home with a wheaten terrier to add to our animal menagerie! My husband, god love him, has not divorced me. However, I have been banned from visiting any type of animal shelter for awhile!
Our animals are family members to us (oh look, my husband doesn’t think I’m looking as he snuggles with the new pooch by a blazing fire). So when we want to go on a vacation, it has always brought about a fair amount of anxiety. About two years ago, we had a horrific experience with a house sitter. She left our yellow lab Parker outside all night. He became very anxious and started to bark and irritate the neighbors. The house sitter did not spend the night here, she just «dropped by» to feed the animals which was not what we had agreed on. Parker was covered in nasty, bloody hot spots caused by being nervous.
That’s when we discovered Two Rock Ranch! Parker is so excited to stay at his «spa!» He whines in anticipation as we turn down that gravel driveway and so happily spent when we pick him up. The best part about Two Rock Ranch, is that I know my animals are in great hands. I can relax on my vacations-​no worries! Next week, I will be bringing my new addition, Maddie, to the Ranch for her first visit. I just know she’s gonna love it!

It was a long and trying journey to find the best dog boarding solution for our dogs. I can confidently say that Two Rock Dog Ranch is that ideal solution. I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences here.
After staying at *other* (will remain nameless) places, our dogs have come home in various distressed states even after being boarded for just a few days. They’ve: been chewed on; smelled like they’d camped out in a port-​o-​john for a week; had conjunctivitis; looked like they hadn’t EATEN for a week; had their nails worn to the quick and beyond; etc…
After staying at Two Rock, they’ve come home looking great, and very clearly happy and healthy.
I tend to get some separation anxiety if I have to board my dogs for more than a couple of days, but thanks to this place and the excellent facility and staff, I have peace of mind when I board them. I know the dogs will be fine.
The boarding area itself is extremely clean and professionally maintained. The play areas are terrific. Nice, soft sand, which is easy on joints and nails. Adventure-​laden jungle gym structures. Lots of other friendly dogs.
I can’t possibly recommend this place highly enough.
If you want to board your dog without fear that it will be left in a box all day, or exposed to unhealthy conditions, this is your spot.

Over the years we’ve taken our two boxers to a variety of different dog boarding establishments. Two Rock Dog Ranch is by far the best run, most professional, best price and employs the kindest folks around. Our dogs return home exhausted, but happy. It’s never easy leaving your pups for a couple days, but they run through the door and never look back. Two Rock always takes photos of your dogs during their visit and hands them over with a sweet report card as you check out. My dogs are actually SMILING from ear to ear in the pictures. It cracks me up.
I’m thankful for this business, and I hope it continues at this exceptionally high level for years to come.

Maggie and Boo love this place and we do too. They have visited a few times and each time they come home flat wore out! That’s how a dog should live their life, playing and running around. We have never had an issue with the front desk or any phone calls. My only hit on the place are their hours for drop off/​pick up which are the same times they answer their phone. A little earlier in the day would be nice and even a little earlier in the afternoon for pick up. However, thats the only thing that «bugs» us, but we adjust and move on. I work very close to their so it works out, but sometimes the dogs have to visit my work with me before I can drop them off or I end up going in late. Overall, the dogs are happy and very clean (we do get them clipped and shampooed before pick up) and that is most important to us. We will continue using them.

Our fur-​child Sierra loves coming here — and I know she is in great hands when we go on vacation (actually, this is the only way I would go without her…)
She almost doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up and she is worn out for a couple of days when we get her home…
Highly recommended!

I hemmed and hawed about posting this review, since it seems to be the best kept secret out there!
We have boarded our big guy numerous times here and he LOVES it… infact, LOVE almost seems like an understatement as to how much he enjoys going here. The facility is beautiful and clean — it is out in the county surrounded by farmland and gorgeous rolling hills. And all the dogs look extremely happy. For longer stays they do little report cards and include some polaroid pics of your happy camper partying away with the other campers. The staff are truly outstanding and your can tell they really love animals. We also got him groomed here recently and they did a great job.
Our big pup always comes home looking happy but thoroughly wiped out for a couple days from having so much fun.
We would absolutely love this place and wouldn’t think twice about recommending it to any person who thinks of their dog as their baby.

The Bear is one big, happy, furry dog, as you can see in his photo.
We have boarded him numerous times at Cotati Dog Boarding. He loves to play with other dogs, and gets pretty excited when arriving for a «vacation.»
Be aware that despite the «Cotati» name, the boarding facility is on the west end of Middle Two Rock Road, a bit west of Petaluma. The grooming faciilty is actually in Cotati, and they have done an excellent job when we’ve taken Bear there.
The staff is great, and you get the impression from everyone that they really like working there and being around dogs all day.
They have large, fenced outdoor areas for play and lounging in decent weather, and nice indoor areas for sleeping.
The Bear is always totally wiped out for a couple of days after we pick him up, a sure sign he’s had a good time.
When you pick up your beastie, you get a «report card» and photos. The report card is a bit cutsie, but it does reassure you that you haven’t abandonded your best friend — and the photos prove that a good time was had.
We never feel guilty about leaving the Bear in their capable hands.
