Under new ownership, Mike Campbell and his staff have kept Paradise Pet Resort running as the area’s most trusted boarding facility. With well-trained and motivated employees, they focus on delivering peace of mind for owners while making sure your dog actually enjoys their stay. The facility was voted The Bohemian’s “Best of the North Bay” for four years running, which tells you something about how seriously they take this work.

The Santa Rosa location is smaller than their Rhonert Park facility, but they compensate with thoughtful design and plenty to keep dogs engaged. You’ll find multiple separate play spaces, climbing platforms, toys organized for different sizes, and designated areas so small and large dogs can have their own time. The Bone Pool is a big draw—most dogs head straight for the water on hot days. There are also quiet spots scattered throughout with comfortable areas for napping when your dog needs to decompress.

What sets them apart is the attention to routine. Regular feeding times, designated rest areas, and staff who actually know your dog’s personality and preferences make a real difference in how smoothly the boarding goes. You can tell they think about what makes a dog feel secure during a stay—it’s not just about supervising a group of animals, it’s about maintaining familiar rhythms.

The facility handles dogs of various temperaments and energy levels, and the staff communicates well about how your dog’s days actually went. They’re located in Santa Rosa near downtown, making drop-off and pick-up convenient if you’re heading to or coming from other parts of Sonoma County. If your dog is the type who gets anxious in new environments, their calm, consistent approach makes a real difference in getting them through their stay comfortably.
