CR Ranch Pet-O-Tel

My first time here with my little Westie/​mix rescue. Facility was nice and A/​C. Very clean and constructed. Very friendly staff. Left our ‘Coco’ here for a few days and no issues. Always playing outside when we got there. We chose the max walk outs. So far I give these guys a thumbs up. Our doggie mat was even cleaned when we got there.
Keep up the great service.

I wanted to board my cat because I was going on vacation, I decided to come out here and check it out. My dad said nothing but good things. First this place is meant for dogs. The workers there are very nice but very much dog people they do not understand how a cat works and a cat personality. This one worker took me to where they board the cats and she was laughing that one particular cat how he was mad and kept hissing and he hid in his sleeping bag for 3 days straight. It was heartbreaking to see someone laughing at a scared animal and I would definitely not ever leave my cat with them. I obviously made the decision not to board my cat here and eventually got a cat sitter. Great for dogs but please get people that understand cats.

Absolutely the best boarding facility around. Staff is amazing and goes out of their way to make sure our dog is well taken care of. Had bad experiences at other kennels. Our little guy has been here multiple times and not once had a problem. Highly recommend this place

Love this place! I am never worried about my dog when he is there and they have very friendly service. They are also almost always available when I need to drop off my dog last minute.

Hands down the best boarding facility I have ever used. Great customer service. I know my dog is being well taken care of. They have gone above and beyond to help me while getting ready to take my rottie to a foster. This type of service can not be taught, they are just genuinely good people. I truly appreciate everything y’all have done! Thank you for caring for my fur baby when I haven’t been able to.

Very good rapport with our dog, good people to work with. However, the last time we left our dog there he was really matted!!! Not sure why, as he has stayed there several times and never had a problem. Because of the cost we are taking him to another kennel that was highly recommened. In my opinion, $ 28.00 a day is just too expensive for a 10 pound dog, and we brought our own food. We paid $ 240 for a week stay, what they consider a week.

We’ve been using cr ranch for years. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Our dog loves it there. He gets so excited when he sees the play yard. We love that they take pictures so that you can see the dogs are really happy there

They are so great with our little man! We have been on multiple trips, in and out of country, and have felt great about him being there. Even for the day care times our dog has gone, he comes back completely exhausted from excitement and playing all day! The best part is the updated pictures we get! We did a trip across the country and really missed our dog so we emailed asking for some updated pictures and we got them immediately! Staff is wonderful and friendly, just like the owner! We have recommended this place to our friends and family, who have also brought their pets and have loved it just as much!

Our 2 year old labradoodle did wonderfully here. So well we think he already misses being there! He’s done both day care and 12 day boarding. The staff was great about letting him get comfortable at first and then when he did, really letting him enjoy all it has to offer. And that includes cozy condos, expansive play areas, small pools, and staff who you can tell love pets. Like many others, we were nervous first timers. CR Ranch did a great job of keeping us in the loop and even sending/​posting pictures and videos of our dog having a blast. Highly recommended.

My husband and I live in fresno and travel out of town quite a bit, and this is the ONLY place that I trust to take great care of my pitbull Keyla. The staff is absolutely wonderful, they are all very kind and treat Keyla as if she was one of their own. My four legged kid always seems so excited to get dropped off there! If she’s happy, I’m happy! I would recommend CR ranch Pet-​O-​Tel to anyone who is looking for the best care for their dogs!

We’ve now trusted the Ranch with our sweet German Shepherd at least 5 times over the last 2 years. Our girl is the timid, nervous type. The wonderful staff helped her work through her anxiety and have even started introducing her to their gentle «on-​site» dogs. She has become so accustomed to the place, she comes home in the same mood as we left here. Of course excited to see us, but no tummy upsets, clinging behavior or other indicators that she was stressed.
Our dog is on rx dog food, needs eye drops twice a day, and is slow to make friends with people and other animals. The Ranch has accommodated all of her special needs to our continued satisfaction. We trust the staff completely to take care of our girl as if she belonged to any one of them.

We traveled from Los Angeles for a wedding along the Sac River and chose Modesto as a mid point, mainly because we needed to stay at a place that was dog friendly (Doubletree downtown Modesto was excellent) and board our dogs for the wedding day. I found this place and decided on it based on the positive Unilocal reviews. Our experience was also very positive. The owner and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and the place is immaculate and expansive. We were so pleased, and I am looking for an excuse to go back…

We recently boarded our German shepherd, Sami. It was the first time we used CR Ranch for his boarding needs and we were extremely satisfied! We definitely recommend this place to everyone. The staff is very nice & I can tell they care a lot for the dogs there. I’m glad Sami had a good time there with them & the other dogs.

Solid kennel. We had a negative experience with another large kennel in town so this time I did my research and found CR Ranch. We have boarded our Dharma here twice now. She had a personality assessment prior to boarding to make sure she was a good fit. She is a German Shepherd and her breed is notorious for anxiety while away from their family. It was nice, she spent 4 hours with them while they determined how she would do with other breeds and different sized dogs. It was determined before her first stay that she would be a good fit to play with smaller dogs while out of her kennel.
My first impression of this place was WOW! Very well maintained property with play arenas and the kennels are clean and free of pet odors. Everybody who works here seems genuinely happy to be there and they take a special interest with every animal that crosses their threshold. I felt so much better about leaving her here. The report given when you pick up your animal is extensive and they come home relaxed. With our prior experience she came home with kennel cough, itching and smelling of urine. It took two baths to get rid of the smell. That’s not the case here. Not a trace of urine odor and she returned to us (both times) just as we left her. Happy and healthy.
I’m happy we found CR Ranch and we will be back for all of our boarding needs.

The best and safest place in the world to leave your fur baby. I have a doberman pinscher who is attached at my hip and did not want me to leave him but when I picked him up a week later he didn’t want to leave them. Brutus is a tough pup to watch he’s always been testy and stubborn. He’s also not neutered yet, so I was extremely stressed he would be in time out every day but nope! He had an excellent report card and while I was in Hawaii I received texts, pictures and videos of my kid playing and running with other dogs. I couldn’t believe it. Now I fully plan to take him once a week to day care so he can socialize with his new found friends since it obviously made him so happy.

My family and I just recently went to Disneyland and needed a place for our Boston Terrier, Bruski. I looked into several places and CR Ranch seemed the most happiest and had better reviews. I was a bit nervous leaving him cuz I have never been w/​out him. When we showed up they knew exactly who he was! They placed him in a HUGE yard while we handled paperwork. The staff were super friendly and even their Weimaraners were nice too! When I returned to pick him up he was very happy and clean. His bedding was clean too that I had left w/​him. The tech that helped check us out showed me a video of Bruski playing with Great Dane! He had the best time. We will definitely use CR Ranch in the future!!! One happy client and pet!!:)

We bring our little huskies here and they love it. The staff knows their personalities and accommodates their needs. It is totally worth the price for me to know our dogs are well taken care of. One time on vacation we were really missing our dogs and the staff at CR happily sent us pictures and videos of the dogs having fun. if you really love your dogs then you’ll feel secure leaving them with the staff at CR ranch.

This review for CR Ranch is long overdue! Last summer we boarded our kitty at CR Ranch as I loved the idea of their Kitty Condos. Many other facilities have smaller kennel like cages that they use to board cats. It really unsettled me to think my kitty would be in a really small kennel for a week, but then I found CR Ranch! After calling to inquire, I was greeted by friendly staff that advised us to come and check out the condos. After checking out the condos in advance, and after the staff answered all my questions, I left my deposit. We were even allowed to set up her space and brought our smaller cat tree to place in the condo. During boarding their staff sent me updates/​pictures via text message. This was such a sweet gesture, and reassured me that my kitty was being well taken are of. If our kitties need to be boarded again, I am definitely bringing them here!
A year later our pet family has grown! We have since taken our puppy to CR Ranch and she loves it! I addressed all my concerns upfront, and their staff was so friendly and understanding. They were more than accommodating to pay close attention to some of those mischievous puppy behaviors. My pets are like my children so if I have a question, I do not hesitate to ask! I have asked the staff everything from hypothetical questions/​scenarios to how they manage the temperatures in the summer heat! The staff have never seemed bothered by my questions.
Nervous and anxious to board our dog for the first time, their staff yet again updated me with videos so it was so nice to see how much fun she was having. Our dog has stayed here twice now, and I love that she gets a «report card» at the end of her stay. I know our pup gets plenty of play time, and she loves the little pool they have in the play area.
Unlike other comments, I have never had any issues regarding their pick up/​drop off hours. If at any point I have questions or need clarifications regarding hours, reservations, fees etc I call during their business hours and staff has always been pleasant and friendly.
It is very obvious that they care about the animals, and treat them like their own. I highly recommend this facility!

I found this boarding facility on Unilocal,because I didn’t want to send our dogs (boxers) to just any boarding facility after their last few experiences.
My husband made the reservation and got all the questions answered and was impressed and he gave the required $ 50 deposit.
When I took our 3 dogs on Friday 8/​16, I was greeted with «you must be our boxers from Patterson.» That was a very nice and warm feeling and something I didn’t experience at the previous kennel. I then asked if someone could help me with the dogs because I was by myself? She said absolutely and her and another young gal came out with their rope leashes and gently made contact with my dogs then placed the leashes over their heads and the dogs were lead to the play yard where they were left to run and play!
After our return, our dogs were happy and clean and they didn’t smell. (which was always a big problem with other kennels unless you pay for a bath, but even then they tend to smell). When we asked how our dogs did, she said they were great! She said our youngest boxer was a love bug and none of them caused problems. I asked if our boxers would be allowed back, she said absolutely! I stated that was refreshing, as the previous kennel said the 2 boxers «scared» the employees because they were too rough & vocal.
I liked the detailed report I received back on our dogs. I liked that we were advised to bring items that would smell like home to ease anxiety separation.
I would recommend this dog boarding facility because they are focused on the best interest of the animals.
(If you read the other posts about people just showing up and the kennel being closed and not being able to get their pet, let me just say this: at any kennel we have ever used there have been drop off and pick up times. People need to ask. Secondly, if you went to any other business and they were closed would you call them and demand them to open so you could be served?)
We will be using this kennel for Labor Day Weekend and they DO HAVE SPECIFC HOURS for drop and pick up for the holiday. I know because I asked. As a pet owner using a facility like this, this is info you need to ask and should not be a negative on feedback of the boarding facility.

I like C R ranch they run it like a business you know ahead of time their hours so you should plan, if you come back early that is my problem not theirs, also I know my dogs are taken care if and taken out on a regular basis and not stuck in a kennel most of the day. The person who wanted to pick up their pet early when th business was not open, question if u needed something from the store and it was closed or u wanted to pick up your dry cleaning early what would u do?
