Best Friends Carmichael

Best Friends Pet Hotel - Carmichael is a pet hotel at 3633 Garfield Avenue offering dog boarding, dog daycare, cat boarding, grooming, and training in Carmichael, CA. The building is climate-controlled and crate-free, with private suites, indoor play areas, and outdoor space. Dogs join supervised group play with compatible playmates; cats stay in private suites kept separate from the dog areas. Small pets are boarded here too.

What they offer

• Overnight dog boarding in private, climate-controlled suites
• Day boarding with individual one-on-one care, plus group daycare
• Grooming and positive-reinforcement training
• Cat boarding in quiet suites away from the dogs
• Live pet cams so owners can check in remotely

What stands out

The pet cams are the practical difference for owners who worry while they travel. Rather than a text update, they can watch their dog play or nap during the day. The Enrichment & Adventure Program adds mental work to the physical exercise, which matters for dogs who get restless on a plain kennel schedule.

Staff administer medications and follow each dog's feeding schedule and dietary needs, so pets on prescriptions or restricted diets are workable here. Pet shuttles and pool time are offered as select add-ons.
