I love bringing my dog, Apollo, to Dioji Goleta! He’s a rambunctious 2-year-old Golden Retriever pup who loves to run around with all his friends and swim in the pool! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They always make him feel at home.

I love Diogi Goleta. The staff are the BEST and treat my dog with love. She pulls on the leash to run in and gets so excited when she sees the team (shout out to Brittney, Jared, Eleanor). I take her for daycare and boarding and I know she’s in good hands (I regularly get photo updates). Highly recommend!!!

Love this doggy day care. The staff is friendly and take a genuine interest in your dogs. We trust them with our fur family.

I have taken my dog here about once per week since she was a puppy. She loves it! I have also boarded her here a few times. Cage-free boarding is such a rare find. Everyone who works here is awesome, professional, and really cares about your dog. They are very strict on vaccines, spay and neuter, and signs of illness, but that's a good thing!

Took the dog here two times. Originally staff seemed pleasant and friendly. After our dog's second stay, we noticed a pretty significant bite mark on her side. This was not reported to us by the staff when we took her home.

Called to see if we could get more information. Not much info was provided, and staff said they would call back. No return call was made. Also discovered in their agreement they're not liable for any resulting issues from this bite. Will not be returning.

Dropped off puppy for two hours. Picked her up only to find out she was locked away in a small crate. She was not happy when I picked her up in distress. They also told us if she’s not fixed she won’t be accepted in the future. We are done with this place

Our dog loves the Goleta Dioji community and team members, and so do we. Here are a few features we love:

- The staff treats our dog as theirs and are thoughtful and attentive. They have multiple staff members present to supervise their playing and take action if a dog is misbehaving or not feeling well. When our dog threw up during daycare (from gluttony at home ?), they immediately called us to let us know and to see how to proceed, keeping a careful eye on her for the rest of the day. Our dog loves other canines but is shy around humans, and the staff gives her cuddles but also recognize how to move and interact with her in a way that respects her boundaries. The staff members are always ready to answer our questions and are a joy to talk to.

- Boarding is super convenient when you really need it and also need a peace of mind. Dioji does this really nice thing where they send regular updates about how your dog is sleeping and eating, or if they've made new friends. The best are the photos of your dog playing or snoozing with pals. I didn't realize this until recently, but there is also a staff member who stays overnight with the boarding dogs and watches them. The dogs also are not crated (unless misbehaving/aggressive). What we usually do is reserve our boarding in advance, and then drop off our dog with meals and instructions around portions.

- Fun for dogs! There are so many dogs to play with and platforms and hammocks. Dogs are separated by characteristics such as size and/or age to ensure harmony (as far as I can tell). And there's even a pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. We think this is where our dog dipped her "toe into the water" for first swimming lessons. If your dog enjoys other dogs' company, this facility is a great place.

Goleta Dioji provides a wonderful community resource for dog owners in the area. Thank you!
