Dog Sitters in Agra, CA

Mike of Mike's Pet Care has been great! We have 2 cats and we have always returned with them well taken care of and the kitties happy! Mike is very responsive with communication, his rates are more than fair and his past experience keeps our mind at ease that he would be able to handle any issue with the cats. We have used him multiple times now and he makes sure to go above and beyond and is very professional - will take in mail, packages that happen to come and he even dealt with a (huge!) ant issue when we were gone without so much of a mention! Highly recommend! ~Nicole Cozean

Mike has been our go to guy when it comes to our pup. He saved us a handful of times when we were running late and couldnt get home in time to feed/walk our dog. Super communicative & responsive. Also great with our temperamental pup! Mikes a lover of all animals and will surely take good care of your pet!

Mike is awesome! We have a very geriatric cat, 18 yrs, and she is a handful and diva all rolled into one. Mike takes great care of her and all her medical needs. We are so happy to find a pet sitter like him. With his background he is not afraid to take charge and is very comfortable with any animal. He has a big heart for the furry friends and our cat is so lucky!

Mike has taken care of our “uniquely tempered” dog now several times, and Mike has not only earned our trust but, importantly, he has developed the trust of our “crazy” dog. Our dog is a rescue and came with a very skeptical and anxious outlook on other humans and dogs. But Mike was patient and determined to win over our dog’s anxieties, and with his professional and expert ways, Mike succeeded. We feel very blessed that we can rely on Mike.

Mike is the absolute best. He has been pet sitting for me regularly since early 2021. He always goes above and beyond -- he brings in the mail, packages, and always checks to make sure the house is okay while you are out of town. He is very responsive to all messages and check in, texts updates regularly and will often post sweet surprises of your furry friends to his Instagram. He is trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I recommend Mike to all our South County friends in need of a pet sitter. He is awesome!!!

Mike is AWESOME! He was super communicative while we were away, sending brief daily texts with pictures and/or videos making us laugh and feel good knowing that our dog was happy and being well cared for. We’ll definitely be using him again and wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to our friends & family! 🐾 …

Mike is truly a find. He is reliable, trust worthy, and your pet will love him. He has been providing in home care for my eleven year old lab for the past few years when we travel. His care allows my older dog to stay in our home where he is most comfortable, all while receiving attention, walks and love. I am so grateful for Mike because he provides peace of mind and flexibility to our busy family!

Mike is super knowledgeable about animal care and is a professional. I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trusting a new pet sitter with my 2 cats (one of which needs daily medication). I have now been using Mike's pet sitting service for almost 4 months and found Mike to be reliable and trustworthy. Even when I was on vacation for more than a week, the cats were doing great when I got back. It is a huge worry off of my shoulders to know that the house is being watched and the animals are well cared for when I am away. It is also a huge plus that in case there is a medical emergency, Mike has a vet tech background. And thanks Mike for the cat photos!

I have used many pet sitters over the past 10 years for our kitties. Mike is by far the most qualified, intelligent and caring sitter you will find. Mike is a person whose job is their passion and he intuitively knows the nature of animals. Mike is someone you can trust and feel comfortable with in your home with your pets, this is reflected in the outstanding work he does for our family. Mike was also able to accommodate our special needs kitty with diabetes, which is a rare find for a sitter. Mike is not your average pet sitter, he is reserved for those who love and treat their pets as family members, thank you Mike.

Mike has been unbelievable! We moved to San Clemente a few months ago and could not be happier with his care of our dog! She is always excited to go walk with him. He is very flexible with us. Could not recommend him more! He also has a ton of veterinarian experience which puts us at ease. You pet would be in great hands!!!

Jolynn and Rich have been giving exceptional care to my dogs since 2008. They have faithfully walked, played with, stayed with overnight, and loved my dogs for 15 years! I recommend them to you without hesitation--they are trustworthy, kind, and the best people to give daily or overnight care. Call and entrust them with your furry friends--you will be glad you did!

Circle of Friends Pet Sitters has always provided my dogs with excellent, loving care—and this gave me peace of mind whenever I was gone. If I had to contact them for dog care outside of my regular schedule, they worked hard to accommodate my request. I value their services and unhesitatingly recommend them.

Circle of friends has been our go to for taking care of our cats for the last 10 years. Gino, Alley and Jake have been well cared for when we were away.

Jennifer is an absolute gem! She has been taking care of our cat for almost 4 years on every holiday and vacation as we travel quite a bit. She has a wonderful touch with animals (not only with our cat, we have seen her with dogs too), you can tell that she truly loves being around them. We know she will take care of our cat as well as we would. Our siberian kitty loves her, it almost makes me jealous :-) We receive pics and videos of our cat while on vacation and we get a kick of Jennifer's descriptions of the cat's shenanigans. When we are back we find her beautifully groomed, with nails clipped and looking very happy. We have complete confidence in Jennifer and are so very glad and thankful we found her.

I love Jennifer, and more importantly our Kitty Scooter loves her too! Jennifer is very reliable, she returns calls and text messages in a timely manner, and has gone above and beyond what you would expect from a pet sitter. She brings in mail, and has gone to the pet store for me when I didn't have time to before leaving town. We have used Jennifer's services for years now, and we so appreciate her being available when we need her to feed and love our Scooter Kitty!

Jennifer is amazing! She has been watching my 2 Rottweilers for almost 4 years, since they were puppies. She has such a wonderful way with animals,,they just love her and are super happy to see her. She is a true pack leader, training them to be the best leash walkers! They never pull anymore,walking right beside me. When I travel she stays here and when I come home the house is cleaner than when I left it and the dogs are freshly groomed and smell great! She sends nightly texts and pictures and I never worry about them. She's a gem!

Jennifer is a gem. She has cared for our almost 3 year Aussie for the last 2 1/2 years. She has stayed at our house, exercised a very active dog, and given him such loving attention. Tux always loves seeing her and going with her. I haves called Jennifer several times at the last minute, and she has always helped me out. She has come to our home early in the morning, and stayed late at night, based on our flights times. Jennifer is the best of the best.

Jennifer is the only person that I would have stay with my cat when I travel. She truly is an animal person. I never worry a bit while I'm away. I get daily pictures or videos. You can tell that this is not just a job for her but a passion. My cat comes running in when she hears her voice. I never get the "cold shoulder" from my cat when I get back home. She thinks her good friend has been staying with her. When I come home my cat is always clean, nails trimmed and my house is always cleaned up. It's nice not to worry about your precious ones while you travel.

I've used Jennifer as the go to for my two Dogs for about the last 10 yrs and have recommended her to many of my friends and others for their pets. I don't think there is another quite like her as many people have got into this business just for the money and not for the love of animals. First and foremost she has a true love for all animals and they really take to her. You will not have to worry as she will send you nightly videos or pic's whatever you want. Every time I return from my trip my Dogs are freshly washed and brushed and the house looks better than when I left it and no poop in the backyard. I've heard nightmarish stories from friends and colleagues who have had their dogs in the care of pet sitters only to come home and find their dogs looking very disheveled and the house tore up. Again, she is a true animal lover and the very best at what she does!

Jennifer has been taking care of my beloved Shih Tzu for nearly five years. My little dog means the world to me and I would not trust anyone besides Jennifer to walk and care for her while I am away. Jennifer also walks my mom's dog. Gemma (Shih Tzu) and Bingo (Bichon Mix) adore her. She understands animals and their unique personalities. Gemma and Bingo are both handfuls and Jennifer is so patient with them. I highly recommend her services to loving pet owners. She will treat your animal like family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer recently and couldn't be happier with her level of service. Whenever she needs to check-in on my 17 year old Devon Rex, I'm completely confident that he's in good hands and is being well taken care of. Jennifer is not only a devout animal lover but also a total professional. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.

Jennifer is the best pet sitter ever! Kind, loving, dependable, responsible - she goes above and beyond for each animal, treating them like her own. I wouldn't leave my dog with anyone else, and I can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that she is with Jennifer.

Jennifer has been taking care of my cats for 10 years and I have full trust in her abilities as a pet caregiver. My cats adore her and she gives them so much love and care that I need never worry about their well being. It's true that she takes care of your animals like you would!!! AG Ehrenberg

I absolutely love Pacific Pet Resort and Specialty Dog Training.... everyone there is wonderful with our babies, and I have some difficult dogs. They are patient and understanding. I left my border collie heeler mix with them for boot camp training and everything was awesome. My Corgi loves to stay and they give him so much attention. This is the only place I trust with my babies for boarding and training.

I boarded my 2 dogs at Oceanside Pet hotel recently. I was so happy that when the dogs were brought out to me they were happy and excited. Other places I have attempted to leave my dogs they were not so happy. I called throughout my vacation to make sure the dogs were doing okay and every time I called I got a great report. The staff loved my dogs. I was a new customer and received a discount for both dogs to board which was great. There was some miscommunication but the manager took care of the issue without batting an eye. The service was great and the staff was very helpful and caring. When I toured the facility it was very clean and safe. The staff listened closely to my requests for my dogs stay. I would definitely recommend the Oceanside Pet hotel for anyone who needs to board their dogs.

I have taken my dog here in the past and we needed to drop him off for the day. I had my wife call in ahead of time. They said that we just needed an updated shot record for our boy. No problem. She emailed it to them. They also had record of him being there when she called cause he has been there previously quite a bit. When I get there, immediately the girl who was working there had what I would call an attitude. She asked for his updated records which I knew they probably would need so I had it ready on my phone email because they probably hadn't checked their email, and no offense but the girl working the front looked like she wouldn't know what a power button would look like, much less be able to work an email inbox. After giving over my phone, showing her the slip that showed the updated shots, she proceeds to tell me that she can't find a record of him ever being here, also that they have a new policy about breeds and she wouldn't be able to let my dog play in a group. My dog can have been left at home alone. That's not the point of dog day care. My dog is a 40 lbs terrier mix, the friendliest animal that I have ever owned. Loves people almost as much as he loves ALL dogs and babies. I would NOT recommend you taking your animal here.

Our bullmastiff was at another place but for some reason it just didn't work out and thank goodness I found this place. Immediately took our dog here and she loves it. They take all breeds and they understand big dogs, they train them and love on them and when my dog gets home she is exhausted and she loves that place as well, staff is wonderful and they make you feel like your family and treat your dog like they're their own!!! So grateful to all the staff at Pacific Pet Resort!!!! Annie loves this place!!!!!!

I've had (Manu) my Pit/Mastiff here since he was about 4 months he turned 2yrs on Nov 1st (today) and these guys run this place with very high standards by the way they handle the dogs to how clean they keep this place inside and out! They have the utmost professionalism I've seen which means a lot to me as a retired Marine. I can always see the love they have for not just my dog but every dog/cat that comes through here! Larry and the rest of the staff do a superb job on a daily basis! Highly recommend!!!!

My dogs were there for boot camp originally. They were trained by Perry and he did a great job. My concerns were they were exhausted and had lost several pounds. I understood the exhaustion. They worked with them diligently to get them where they needed to be in the time we agreed on. We were informed on a regular basis of their progress and health. At the end of June they were boarded a week with follow up training. No follow up info was given like before and they lost the weight they had gained. We picked up our dogs and one was sluggish and "coughing". We took him to the vet, he had kennel cough, beginnings of pneumonia, and fecal toxemia. My vet said it was due to the kennel not thoroughly being cleaned. After speaking to Nikki, the manager, she told me they would do a thorough cleaning and they had checked the dog several times a day...but I don't believe this was the case this time. I appreciate the hard work in training my dogs and keeping them for a month, but I won't be using their services again. I've spent close to $500 and 3 wks caring for a very sick dog because of their facility not being properly maintained.

We continue to have an excellent experience at the Oceanside Pet Hotel! Our Pomeranian, Lily is always greeted with excitement and joy when she comes into the reception area. The facility is clean, everyone is friendly and pickup and drop-off is a breeze! We highly recommend the doggy day care, especially since our dog is always eager to go back.

The facility and staff were great. My only hesitation to taking my pup back is the sad reality of the resorts neighbors, the humane society. The whimpers, barking and crying that came from nextdoor made my pops anxiety rise a bit. We will try it once more in the near future as his anxiety could have been from being at daycare for the first time.

I absolutely do not recommend this facility to anyone for boarding. I have to say they did a great job of convincing me that boarding my baby there was a good idea but that was not the case at all. I've boarded him elsewhere before with absolutely no issues. Everything leading up to his stay went fine. I visited the facility a couple times, had all my questions answered, got a tour of the facility showing me the nice long indoor/outdoor kennel he would be in, and I even brought him in the day before we left for daycare so he could get to know them and vice versa. Everything seemed great and I felt confident in trusting them with my baby, I thought it was going to go so well. However, my experience at Pacific Pet Resort was so much the opposite that my friend had to pick my dog up TWO DAYS EARLY because of how bad it was. We dropped him off on Friday morning and gave them his food and they assured me everything would be great. I called later that day to check up and was told everything was going fine, and called again the next day in the morning and again was told everything was fine. A few hours later I get a call from one of the managers saying my dog is showing food aggression and they think it's best he be taken home. It isn't until now that they tell me he hasn't eaten either of the meals they fed him, he just tried to hide it and then showed some aggression when they took it away and is now not letting any of them handle him at all. At this point I'm so confused and worried about my baby because he has NEVER acted this way before. But I didn't think too much of it at this point because they were so nice on the phone I believed they were genuinely concerned for the well-being of my dog and not their own convenience. Regardless I'm so upset because I could only imagine how scared and insecure he had to feel to act this way, and I felt helpless as I was out of state and couldn't get back to him. They insisted that it would be best for him to go home so I had my friend pick him up. My friend told me she did not trust the way they treat the animals in their care. The kennel attendant that took her back was thanking her over and over again for coming to take him away, didn't say a single positive thing about by dog except the fact that he was leaving, and she could hear workers in the background telling the dogs to shut up because they were barking. Then, when they got to my dogs kennel she said it was WAY smaller than the ones they showed me. Then she said my baby was shaking so bad and so visibly stressed out that she knew something wasn't right, she said she'd never seen a German Shepherd shake like that. THEN (and this is the part that made my blood boil) she said the second the guy put his hand on the latch my poor baby PEED himself because he was so scared. My dog has NEVER EVER done that before so I knew right then that something really was wrong. After seeing that she demanded that he let her in the kennel and he questioned her like he was concerned my dog would attack her or something even though Duke recognized her by now was was jumping up on the gate and licking at it because he wanted to see her. She just grabbed the latch and opened in and she said he immediately was so happy she was there. Then they gave her a slip leash, which they were informed to use with caution because he HATES those, and she even brought up that I told them that and the guy just said "I don't know, maybe" well excuse me but isn't it your job to know that?! And on top of that they wouldn't have given his collar, leash, and harness back if she hadn't asked about it. When she asked the guy said "oh do you want those?" OF COURSE. Why would she not? And they didn't give any of the three days worth of food back, claiming there wasn't any left even though he'd only need there one day and hadn't eaten anything as I was told. Overall I was not pleased with my experience at all. The office staff is very nice but the staff that handles the animals directly seems incompetent and inexperienced and I will never be going back.

They have great hours for drop off (0630) and pick up (7pm). The staff is nice. My dog seems to love it here for day care. He comes home tired in a great way.

We’ve been using Dogs on the Run in 2020 and now again for over a year after moving back to the area, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our pets receive. Melissa is fantastic with Dino, our dog, taking him on daily walks and capturing great pictures along the way. She always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy and well-exercised. Bella has been equally amazing, especially with overnight stays. Her special care for Dino and our cat, Rick, gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in great hands when we’re away. We highly recommend DOTR for their exceptional service and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Melissa and Bella, for your dedication and care!

Lora from Dogs on the Run was absolutely fabulous! We went on a family ski trip for a little over a week and Lora watched over our pup. We have a 2 year old lab and love her so much. Lora treated her like family and took such good care of her. Every day she sent me photos and updates which was a nice bonus. I've attached a few of the photos she sent over while we were gone-it made me so happy to get these updates;) We will definitely be using her services again when we travel or anytime we need someone to watch over our pup. Highly recommend her and Dogs on the Run!

Toby is more than just a dog sitter; he's an exceptional caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure Sasha's well-being. His attentiveness to her needs, coupled with his ability to engage her and adapt to her energy levels, truly sets him apart. What's remarkable is his deep knowledge of canine behavior, allowing him to tailor his care to Sasha's specific needs throughout the day. Witnessing Sasha's excitement as we approach Toby's house reassures me that she's in the best hands possible. Toby's regular updates, complete with videos and pictures, keep me at ease while I'm away, and I appreciate his dedication to ensuring Sasha's happiness and safety. He takes her on adventures all over town, which lights me up every time I see it. Recently, we tried boarding for the first time with Toby, and he exceeded all expectations. Sasha returned happy, mentally and physically stimulated, and well-rested. I wholeheartedly recommend Toby for his exceptional dog sitting and boarding services!

Dogs On The Run has been a life saving service for us, helping to always make sure our pup has his daily walk. We appreciate the concierge service, the fantastic dog walkers (shout out to Tracey!), and the sub walkers (yay, Alexis!). It is my daily joy to receive a picture of dog Levi on his walk with Tracey. Thank you for being so trusting and dependable, Dogs On The Run!

This is my first time using a pet sitter as my pup always travels with me, but when I could not take her on a recent trip, I turned to Dog on the Run. They were fantastic, very responsive, they paired me with the wonderful Jeanice who was an absolute angel!! She kept in contact, sent me pictures of my fur baby and they got along great!! She made my trip a carefree experience as I knew my Keely was in great hands! I highly recommend DOTR and Jeanice!!

Dogs on the Run is a reliable pet service with exceptional walkers like Sophia, Hannah, and Heather, who captures amazing photos on their long adventure walks. Genie was always there for us in emergency situations, and we truly miss her. Owner April consistently ensures a great experience, providing follow-up after appointments and any changes in service. Highly recommend Dogs on the Run for all your pet care needs!

I cannot say more good things about DOTR. Athena watched my sweet dog for 4 days and was nothing short of amazing. My dog is nervous/hyper and Athena worked with her and gave me so many updates as I was Away. I felt So comfortable knowing Cali was in such great hands and under such sweet care. 10/10 would use DOTR again and Cali can’t wait to see Athena again. She was AMAZING

Dogs on the Run came very highly recommended and they have been a life saver when I needed a pet sitter for my 20 lb pug mix dog. Right from the start, their professionalism was evident. They were fast to respond and asked me a series of pertinent questions regarding my dog's requirements and temperament, so that they can find a pet sitter who was the best match. Based on our discussion, they connected me to Shae. Shae is the best pet sitter I have worked with. Shae was always punctual. My dog, Chewy, instantly bonded with her. Shae followed all my instructions perfectly. Chewy can be leash reactive and hence walking him can be challenging, But Shae was very patient and careful with him. At the end of each session, she would send a detailed report along with pictures, which I very much appreciated. She was a pleasure to work with and I will be requesting her services on a regular basis. After every pet sitting gig, 'Dogs on the run' always followed up with me to get my feedback and ensure my satisfaction. I highly recommend DOTR and Shae for your pet sitting needs.

DOTR is an OUTSTANDING DOG-SITTING RESOURCE, & they have sitters throughout a broad section of the country. We used them while traveling for a family event in Berkeley, CA. The sitter, JANA was a sweetheart, was punctual, & professional, & even advised us when she reached our hotel. As I requested, she kept us updated on our puppy's status throughout the time she took care of her throughout the 2 days we were there, walking her, playing with her favorite fetch balls, etc, She sent us numerous adorable photos for my phone, & thorough updates, further making me feel confident that our puppy was in excellent hands. I couldn't have been more pleased, & STRONGLY RECOMMEND "DOTR" for reliable, professional dog-sitting services.

I can’t possibly express how much I love my pup’s sitter, Jan. She knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable with my dog staying in a new environment. She provides timely updates and is all around a wonderful human. My dog gets plenty of playtime and has made new doggy friends. I can’t recommend Dogs On The Run highly enough.it is amazing!

I love this place. I enrolled my shy guy into the day training program. He is half way through his first sessions and I am seeing amazing progress. The staff and trainers are super responsive. And I love how clean/secure the facilities are. I feel my little dude is in great hands. I appreciate how strict staff is with vaccines too!! Keeping our fur babies safe and healthy. This place is a GEM. Orbit comes home tired & happy!!!

Excellent care ! We have been bringing our dogs for daycare, and they love coming! We have also used the boarding and feel comfortable they are in good hands. We love getting pictures while we are away . Tara and Adam do an amazing job caring for our fur babies . Kristen has groomed our goldendoodle and does a wonderful job too. The Team at Alcala is great 👍

My husband and I adopted our sweet boy Beaux in June of 2024. We quickly discovered he would get really overstimulated, really quickly. And while we were researching and training at home as much as we could, we were finding ourselves facing issue after issue or setback after setback. He was reactive to all dogs, and even though his reactivity was that of excitement, we knew that he didn’t have the tools necessary to come face to face with other untrained dogs like him (dogs that were submissive or had good training previously were okay for him to handle). We knew we needed help and were recommended Alcala by another pet parent at the dog park. We set up our orientation as soon as we could and we immediately fell in love with the place. The manager, Courtney, did our orientation and was SO knowledgeable about every single topic we had questions about. I was incredibly nervous to leave him there - as I was DREADING the (what felt like inevitable) phone call telling me Beaux was too much for them to handle. But, the call never came. In fact, when we picked him up the first day, and saw how happy he was, we knew immediately that we made the right decision choosing Alcala. He did one five-week class at two days a week and the improvements we saw from him were undeniable!! He walked on leashes better, his reactivity was better, his at home manners were better, and while we knew he had a long way to go, I felt so much more confident and SAFE taking him outside on my own. At the time, he was about 90lbs, today he’s a 101, and the fear I had about not being able to handle him is largely gone and I credit it 100% to Alcala. Our trainer, Cydney, was with us every step of the way. We would ask question after question, provide story after story for context, and she would always have exercises that would potentially (and usually did) help immensely. For the rare occasion that something we learned and tried wasn’t helping as well as we would’ve hoped, she would quickly pivot, demonstrate, and give us new exercises to try. We saw so much improvement in his first five-week package that we signed up for another - simply hoping for more of the same, because his progress was unbelievable. We were pleasantly surprised to see more progress yet again. Not only did we maintain the level of training he had learned but he expanded on it even more! Beaux is calmer, SO much less reactive, and is so much more well behaved at home (which is shocking because he never really gave us a hard time in the first place). He finished out his package this week, and while we’re going to take the rest of the year to be home and spend the holidays with family, my husband and I are already making plans as to when we can bring him back. The joy Alcala has brought Beaux is palpable. The ease of mind and confidence it has brought me is undeniable. My husband feels more confident handling training situations in public, a task I am still trying to master. I could not recommend Alcala enough. Courtney, Cydney, and the rest of the amazing staff have been nothing but a pleasure to work with. We cannot wait to be back!

Best daycare and boarding in town! They keep you updated on your dog and even gave our pup some pumpkin due to a stomach issue. They treat our dog as their own pet and we love them! Our dog June is always happy to go for the day or stay overnight at Alcala!

Tara, Adam, and the Alcala Pet Resort Team run a very professional boarding operation. We know our dogs are always safe and in excellent care at Alcala. Over the past 20 years, we have never experienced a better-run quality pet boarding facility- highly recommended - 5-Star

Alcala is a caring and welcoming place for doggie daycare and boarding. I can leave town knowing my pup will be well cared for and safe. They are super sweet with her and I appreciate them!

We trust Alcala and our dog loves it! Our 2 year old lab goes to Alcala for day care, and we board her there when we are out of town. She just stayed for 2 weeks, and previously had been boarded multiple times for up to a week. When we picked her up after 15 days, she was happy and it was like no time had passed! As a dog parent it is hard to find a place that you trust, and we have tried dog sitters in our home but have found that boarding is the best option for us. It's important to enjoy while we are away without worrying, and know our dog is safe and cared for by professionals. That is Alcala for us and we appreciate all the staff!

My very, very, difficult dog started muzzled and dosed with tranquilizers when Kristen did her first groom. Now Emmy, my sweet Maltese, with a snappy streak, just allows Kristen to go on ahead. WE love Kristen, she is a dog whisperer!

My experience with Alcala has always been positive for both training and boarding. The staff is experienced, patient, and accommodating and I am always at ease when my pups are with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and fun environment for their pet!

Overall I really like Alcala. My dog seems super happy to go there and I love there is so much group play time. I gave you a 4 instead of 5 for 2 reasons: 1) I find the rates very very high, and it's painful to pay for two days of boarding when we technically stay over a single night. There is zero way to pay for one day of boarding, and I find that to be, well, just wrong for the customer. Say I dropped my dog at 4pm on a Tuesday and got him at 9am the next day. I am charged $130. I'd love if you could rethink this policy and charge by 24-hour periods (like, say, a car rental company). 2) I almost never get feedback on how my dog did. I've never had a report card or a photo. I'd love to hear more about his visits.

Alecia has worked wonders with my pup in just two training sessions. Her technique is thoughtful, patient, and she has a natural connection with dogs from the moment they meet. My pup also absolutely loved daycare and is already excited for her upcoming pack walks! I’ve never felt more at ease leaving my baby girl in someone else’s care. Alecia and Fiona are truly amazing!

The old adage of an old dog can not learn new tricks is definitely not true! I started having some behavioral issues with my 14 yr old pug Chloe due to he fact that she has started losing some sight & hearing. Alecia’s years of experience really showed as she was able to help me communicate better with her. All done with firm compassion in a safe environment. I’m very grateful that I can communicate now with my girl in this new stage of her life. It really alleviated a lot of frustration in my household.

I feel very blessed to have found this place. Alecia and Fiona are awesome. Willow loves to play with her friends and enjoys the pack walks! I never worry about Willow while in their loving care. I highly recommend them!!

I’ve been bring my Boston Terrier to IADLA for almost 6 years! She comes home tired from the socialization and pack walks! Fiona and Alecia (the owners) work on behavior and training. They even pick up and drop off if need! My pup is so excited to go each time ❤️❤️❤️

Great business, very personal, quiet atmosphere with dogs. My dog loves the pack walks, daycare & structured environment. Lots of love & belly rubs too!! Very happy. 😃 …

The owners are terrific, and provide a clean, happy, structured and healthy environment for my favorite companion!! I highly recommend It’s a Dog’s Life Academy!’

The owners here are very knowledgable about dog behavior and training, so if your looking for a daycare with more structure, this is it! For our rescue, this place is the perfect, healthy balance of dog socialization and play. We 💛 A Dogs Life Academy!

They were able to transform our stubborn large Berniedoodle into a great member of the family. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Good dog daycare and Training! They really focus on the dogs behaviour and resocialize them instead of putting them into cages

Just the best Italian food overall. Thanks! Raoul

We had our young dog in daycare full time until I started working from home. Now a year and a half later I am so thrilled to be back. I love the staff and the care my dogs get during their time there.

Dog Dayz is the best and I never worry about my pup when shes there. The fantastic staff is so kind and knowledgeable, and they really care. Great facility and even have solutions when she had some leg problems and needed to be on restricted exercise. Daycare and boarding and so easy to book!

This review is long overdue. We’ve been using their services for a couple of years whenever we fly out of state. The staff are great and very kind. We used to meet Anahi, who was especially kind and took great care of our dog Daisy. It's a fantastic place.

Dog Dayz has been a great experience for us and our 1.5yr old Husky pup. We found Dog Dayz a couple months ago and appreciate their timely responses to email reservation requests, their pup assessment/ orientation process and quick return response times for the many follow up questions I ask. Our high energy working breed pup comes home thoroughly exhausted each visit (6 visits so far) and still continues to get excited each and every time we pull into the parking lot. We've even noticed better (less spastic excitement) leash behavior from our pup on our daily walks when other dogs are seen along our route- now that he has regular pup friends to play with at dog dayz. Would definitely recommend you check them out if you're looking for a new pup daycare.

The girls Annie and Heather are great, but I can’t say anything else about the care. My dog got a rash from there and he learned how to bark all day for attention. I called the trainer there she’s busy and no groomer after a 4 hour day……This was a horrible experience had to take a week off just to get my dog back on track.

Bonnie loves going here. She is so excited the entire way. The staff is attentive and great with the dogs. They understand the Great Pyrenees breed and they are very helpful. I appreciate the staff and the opportunity to attend such a great facility.

Morgan did a great brushing job on my curly golden doodle, lasted longer than usual. Thank you Dog Dayz for always delivering a fun and safe environment for Bruno!

We’re frequent users of their do it your self service. They have four raised tubs and all the necessary shampoo and grooming supplies. For your protection they have plastic aprons. The staff is always friendly.

Just a good feeling here, vs other dog care. Yes, lots of dogs. Yes, it isn't home. But the staff loves Annie and she actually goes willingly! Fair prices. Easy hours for drop n grab.

We have been taking our Bailey and Blossom to DogDayz for many many years for daycare also boarding They have always been taken care of well when they’re boarding and our dog Bailey has Addison’s disease and is given his medicine twice a day when he’s boarding thank you very much Claire and Hector Melendez

I cannot thank Precious Petcare and my Wedding Pet Attendants (Hilary & Tory) enough!!! First of all, Leila and her staff were very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, and they ensured that my 2 fur kids would get the best care possible for my big day. When the big day came, I felt SO comfortable with Hilary & Tory’s capabilities as ‘temporary’ dog mommas for my special day. It took such a HUGE burden and relief off of my shoulders, knowing that they were in such good hands. They were both able to keep my pups calm and happy, even with Scooter’s terrible separation anxiety! They also followed my detailed instructions to a TEE, and walked our ‘Ring Bearer’ and ‘Flower Pup’ down the aisle with no issues! They did an amazing job getting their energy out by constantly walking them around, letting them enjoy nature (they even saw a deer), playing with them, and keeping them well treated and extra cozy (Scooter was warm and wrapped in a blankie when he got chilly!). They truly watched them like hawks, snuggled them, and treated them like their own. When I saw them both with the pups (and heard nothing but amazing comments from my guests!), I knew that they were in amazing hands and I could be calm, relax, and really enjoy myself. They were also a great influence on my young pup, Millie, and her shyness around other people! We noticed such a huge improvement in Millie the day after the wedding! She was like a whole new dog. She’s so much less skittish after having the opportunity to meet with so many guests. I thank Hilary & Tory for giving her that opportunity, as it was much needed for a young rescue dog! They were stellar at their jobs —- they were punctual, kind, calm, professional, organized and dedicated. I also can’t thank them enough for the amazing photos that they sent. They are my absolute favorite photos for sure, and I’m so glad that they captured those moments for me (as the bride misses all the fun! Lol). I highly recommend Precious Petcare!!! 5 stars

We had Hannah with us for our wedding weekend and she exceeded all of our expectations caring for our maltipoo Bear! She continuously went above and beyond to make sure Bear was well fed rested and at the places she needed to be all weekend to be part of our celebrations. I was over the moon knowing Bear was in great hands for 4 days with Hannah until we came back to our hotel every day. Bear was able to join every event we hosted for our guests and I couldn’t be happier! Hannah even helped us every time photos were taken to make sure Bear was smiling & she helped coach Bear to walk down the aisle. Highly highly recommend precious pet care for your wedding or every day sitting needs!!! I wish they were closer to us in Los Angeles so we could use them on the regular :(

So happy I found precious pet care! My sister referred me & it has been incredible. At the end of the day they upload pictures of your pup as well as a detailed summary of how your pup behaved / an overall recap! Seriously can’t imagine taking my pup anywhere else! She has so much fun & gets so excited when I take her to daycare for the day!❤️ Enjoy these adorable photos of Millie and some furriends she made at daycare!

My husband and I just returned fron 6 weeks overseas. This is the first time leaving our 14 year old Calico Trixie using a pet service to visit. Our kids work and wanted someone to be with her during the week. We chose Precious Pet Care from Yelp reviews!! Not disappointed! Janna was our sitter the whole time away. She came 3 times a week. She shared pictures, communication/update and videos of how Trixie was doing. She respected our request to change Trix's ice water (spoiled kitty). Plated with her, gave her special treat! Brushed her. Cleaned her litter box. So much more. She treated her as I would have!! 🙂 Trixie was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and has specialized diet. From the start everyone Leila who helped me through the process made me feel secure and warm to their services.

I've used Precious Petcare the past few months for Doggie Daycare for my pup Cash. He always comes back happy and exhausted. This past week we were out of the country for our wedding and I felt at ease every time I received a daily update and pictures showing that he was well taken care of and enjoying himself with the other pups. Thank you Leila and the team for taking good care of my baby. We are so happy to have found this place for daycare and boarding.

We have taken our active dog, Anda, to Precious Pet Care for daycare, overnight stays, and boarding for the past few months. This is the first time that Anda has been to daycare and it is safe to say he loves its! Anda gets to play outside with all the dogs and gets lots of attention from the staff at Precious Pet Care. There is a good variety of dogs, and our dog has befriended the owner's dog. Whenever he comes home he looks very happy and is tired the rest of the day from all the play time. The staff are mindful to make sure he eats his meals and uses the bathroom regularly. They appropriately supervise to ensure he gets along with the other dogs. They also are very flexible with drop off/pick up times and communicative with us, sending daily updates with photos and videos. Most recently, he spent the holidays boarding at Precious Pet Care during our vacation. He definitely got a lot of attention, as there was a doggy holiday party with special treats, a Christmas photo shoot, and he came back with a gift bag and report card for his stay. We would absolutely recommend Precious Pet Care to anyone looking for a homey place for their dog to stay for any of the services they offer.

We booked Precious Pet Care for their wedding pet attendant service, and I highly recommend them!! We wanted to have our dog walk in the ceremony and have someone look after him at the Airbnb during the reception, but didn’t want to have any of our friends/family do it and miss out on the celebration. Precious Pet Care was the perfect solution! With everything that goes on during your wedding day, it was great to know that our dog was cared for and happy! Now I’ll be honest, our dog is not the best trained and can be very excitable, but Johnny did a fantastic job getting his energy out beforehand and keeping him entertained all day so he was comfortable when it came time for the ceremony! We got so many cute pictures with our pup too! It meant so much to have our dog with us on our big day and know he was safe and happy while we celebrated the night away! If that sounds like something you’d also want for your wedding, Precious Pet Care is the way to go!

Precious Pet Care was great in assisting us with the care of our pets Emma and Gracie on 4.02.23 - for my daughter's wedding! Leila was super helpful and responsive to our questions, and she and Ashley arrived early (before we did!) and were very attentive to Emma & Gracie during the course of the day - allowing my family to relax and enjoy this very special day! They made sure our girls were walked, fed, hydrated, entertained and calm throughout the day. They then returned them to our Airbnb, let them play outside for a bit, and made sure that they had food & water to last them until we returned. Before they left, they sent us pics of our pups relaxing at the house, which enabled us to enjoy the rest of the evening - knowing that they were safe, secure and had everything they needed. Without their awesome wedding pet attendant services, including our pups in my daughter's big day would have been next to impossible.

My dog Percy is really shy and is scared of everything and everyone. He just hides behind me whenever I take him to dog park. He takes a long time to trust a person or a dog. Leila has been phenomenal at taking care of Percy and she has helped him come out of his shell. She has been very patient and accommodating with him. She has made him a more confident and a playful puppy who can now explore the park on his own and play with dogs his size. Percy has been a part of Leila's doggie field day every week and I have been seeing drastic improvements in his behavior. All thanks to Leila! Percy loves her so much and he is so excited to see her every week. She even made this shy guy find his doggie best friends. I am very grateful that I found her and honestly, she is one of the best things that has happened to my Percy!

Absolutely loved this service for our wedding! We couldn’t imagine our big day without our pup and Leila made it all possible! She was amazing with Archie and it made the day less stressful! I couldn’t recommend Precious Pet Care more to other couples for their wedding day!

Wonderful staff that always takes good care of our dog while we’re out of town. Destiny and Stephanie at the front desk are welcoming and attentive to his needs. Thanks for looking after him for us!

Amazing staff and facility! Needed doggy day care on short notice due to an emergency medical appointment at Scripps, and they were happy to accommodate. Everyone was so great with my friend's shy dog, and even came out as we were leaving to show us a picture of her, happy and all settled into her room. Very impressed with the service at Animal Keeper! Thank you for making our visit so easy and stress-free.

We have so much Gratitude for Rurik Vigo Dominguez. He has change our dog Blue’s life. Rurik is helping Blue have discipline, and understanding of human language. He is helping Blue find purpose (make mom/dad proud). Rurik is such a great mentor for Blue. now Blue is much happier happy dog . Rurik send us videos of the lessons he is teaching him through out the day . We are so glad we found him our stress when communicating with Blue is no longer there . Now Blue is more peaceful, (no anxiety) it only makes his personality shine more becuse he is more confident. We love our Blue , we love his mentor thank you Rurik. 😀The Turpin’s

We boarded our two dogs for two weeks there. Up to this time, our older pet didn’t socialize. The Team made them feel welcome, did a temperament test and he was fine to socialize! It allowed us to enjoy our stay. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

We’ve been taking our dog, Mr. Pickles, to The Animal Keeper now for 6 months and could not be happier. We use their doggy day camp twice a week, had Mr. Pickles trained there by Edgar (who was great) and board Mr. Pickles at The Animal Keeper when we go out of town. Everyone is so professional, the facility is incredibly clean and our dog can’t wait to go. It makes us feel so at ease when we leave Mr. Pickles knowing how excited he is to be there with all of his human and fur friends. I highly recommend The Animal Keeper.

I have been taking my dog (Brutus, 5 years) to Animal Keeper (AK) for over 4 years now. He absolutely loves it there, and the staff love him! They are kind, courteous and professional, and always keep the best interest of your pup in mind. Brutus goes to AK about once a week for day care, and he can’t get enough! Throughout the year (e.g. Easter, Halloween, Christmas, etc.) AK offer special holiday events during daycare that you can sign up for (for example, the “Feast or Beg Hunt” around Easter, see photos!). Brutus always has a blast, and I can always trust that AK will take great care of my pooch. My parents have been taking their dogs here for boarding for over 25 years! The staff is very knowledgeable and well-trained to ensure that all pups have a safe and enjoyable experience. They also offer various grooming packages that can be done while your dog is at daycare! There is nothing better than picking up a happy, clean pup after a long day of play! The facility itself is always very clean, which I have found is often overlooked at other daycare/boarding facilities. They also offer a “touch free” drop off/pick up option. A staff member will meet you outside to pick up your furry friend, if you prefer. I highly recommend Animal Keeper for boarding, daycare, and grooming needs!

Very accommodating! They have televisions for dogs that love to watch- suites - playtime for small breeds and they take the dogs out frequently. They really seem to care about the animals and are extremely helpful!

Anytime we go out of town we board our dog with the Animal keeper. She has stayed at the Poway and Encinitas locations. It’s reassuring to know she is safe and cared for while we are away. She is always happy and healthy when she comes home. Drop off and pick up are a breeze and the amount of add on packages / treats is sure to keep every dog happy and comfortable.

When we vacation we board our black cat at the Animal Keeper on Encinitas. We usually get 2 upper pens and bring her own food (dietary reasons). The fees are reasonable and staff is super friendly. We live about 25 min away, but prefer this location than the Poway one so that my sister who lives close by, can easily check on her.

We brought our new, big, strong doesn’t know his own size and strength dog for boarding. We haven’t been there in years and your staff remembered us and our first 2 dogs. You took wonderful care of our newest addition and he even came back to us with better manners. Thank you for always being wonderful.
