Dog Sitters in Escondido, CA

This was the first time our puppy, Warlock, had ever been to boarding. He stayed from a Friday night until Sunday night while we enjoyed our weekend in San Diego. He is quite shy at first around people. The staff was very caring and attentive to him. Great communication by staff prior to and during Warlock's stay. Loved the report card and photos that were shared with us.

Chex had a great first day! We love the report card and how they separate dogs based not just on size but energy level too. Facility was clean and staff were great! Looking forward to bringing him again soon.

We wanted to get our 5 months old puppy ready to be board in the event that we need to leave her if we go on any short trip. When I went to their website I was very impressed. I filled out all the documentation that they needed and decided to go down there just to see what it looked like and felt like. Everyone was nice and made me feel comfortable about the whole situation. The free orientation day went very well. Since my husband works all kinds of hours if I am out of town it is nice to know that they are available 24/7. It is nice to have the flexibility of knowing that are beautiful baby will be taken care of very well when we need them. The place seemed very clean and everyone is very nice. That was our experience at the Escondido location. The prices seem to be very good so we would highly recommend this business for your dogs needs.

I cannot say enough great things about 24-hour dog daycare! My dog, Wednesday, absolutely *loves* it here. The moment we pull into the parking lot, she starts wagging her tail with excitement, ready to spend her day with the wonderful staff and other dogs. The team is so attentive, and I know Wednesday is always in great hands. What really stands out is the level of care and attention they give to each dog. Whether it's playtime, nap time, or just some one-on-one love, they truly treat every dog as if they were their own. I love that it's 24 hours, giving me peace of mind that Wednesday is cared for, even during late-night shifts or unexpected work hours. It's her absolute favorite place, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun environment for their pup. Five stars!

I rarely write reviews on here, but I wanted to give credit where it was due and compliment the excellent service we’ve received at 24HDD time and time again. For the past two months, our senior German Shepherd Remy has attended daycare here several times and boarded here for a weekend. He always has a great time hanging out with the staff and his doggy friends. The online portal is great and so easy to use. The staff is incredibly attentive and quick to respond whenever we have questions or need to book a last-minute appointment. Just tonight, they updated Remy’s vaccine records and emailed me to let me know almost immediately after I uploaded the file. Something as simple as a quick response makes all the difference. Thank you, 24HDD!

I have been very impressed with this Doggie Daycare. We have a VERY timid and fearful rescue and she’s doing very well there. And I LOVE that I can drop-off/pick-up our baby-dogs whenever we need to. That is such a relief. Highly recommended/

This place is awesome. We were in Escondido from out of town and our senior goldendoodle who suffers from severe arthritis stayed in a private boarding suite while we attended a wedding. They were so kind to her and took her out poty a couple times and also let her play a bit in the play room. They handled her gently and kindly. We hated to leave her at her age, but upon seeing the facility and talking with them, they put our minds at ease. When we picked her up, they provided us a "report card". It was very nice of them that they took that extra step. We highly recommend this facility.

My Sally pup had the BEST time here at 24 hour dog daycare. The staff was so sweet and caring and took their time to make sure she was acclimated before introducing her to the other pups. She made so many friends and had the time of her life playing. All the pictures they sent with her report card put a huge smile on my face while I was at work. We will definitely be coming back !

Parker had his first daycare experience here and he loved it. The updates were great and the staff kind. Can’t wait for him to go back!

My Hans just spent his first 24 hours at this facility and we're so impressed. Everything was easy and smooth. Our pup isn't a social dog with other dogs and they had so many safeguards in place. It was a completely stress free drop off and pick up experience. I love that he came home tired, but totally happy and without that stressed out dog smell! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.

Stephanie took great care of my kitties at a very stressful time after the death of my husband. She came during the Christmas holidays as well shortly before a move when the house was packed up ready for the movers. She was given very short notice for that time frame. Despite the stress, my cats were happy I was home but no more so than if I had just gone grocery shopping! Stephanie makes sure she knows where everything the pets need as well as bringing in newspapers etc. I highly recommend her as do my two boys! Mary Koske

Five stars is well deserved! Mike provides everything every dog owner is looking for. His calm, confident and methodical approach to bond with our less than social dog was nothing less than jaw dropping. Mike frequently updates us when caring for our dog which provides reassurance that our pet is well cared for. He provides full-service pet care to include walking, training, and pet visits. His flexibility to work with our plans has been outstanding. Mike’s pet care services are professional and top notch. Highly recommend!

We're very picky about whom we trust to care for our cat when we're out of town. Four on the Floor Pet Care came highly recommended from our previous pet sitter, who moved out of state. We can't say good enough things about Mike and Mandi. They are so thoughtful, professional, and caring. Our cat doesn't warm up to people easily, but he had no problems becoming friends with them right from the start. It's a huge relief to know we can call on Mike and Mandi to look after our cat when we're out of town, and the way they cared for Buddy allows us to not worry when we're away - we know he'll be in good hands with them. We highly recommend Four on the Floor Pet Care to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet(s)!

Mike and Mandi cared for our two cats recently while we were out of town. They came buy for drop-in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections and they were able to administer the insulin with no issues. They sent photos with every visit and the cats were well cared for. I would highly recommend them and we will be using them again.

Mike and Mindy have been caring for my two Siamese cats for over a year now since my other pet care person moved onto another position. I’ve been very pleased and they take photos of my babies Each day that they care for them And text them to me After they visit them, so I know that they’re well taken care of. It’s a nice added touch that they Take that extra time in taking photos and sending them to me. It’s also nice that they can water my plants as well and other things I need to ask them such as Bringing in packages if they’re delivered when I’m not there. They’re very conscientious and I would highly recommend them. I’m glad that my former Pet care person recommended them to me. 🙏 Donna

I love my animals so much (two pups and a bird) so when I needed to find someone to come walk my girls, I was super skeptical and nervous. I also wanted someone who can maintain my work with my German shepherd, she can be reactive while on leash. When I met with mandy and mike, both put my anxiety at rest with their confidence and general care for my girls wellbeing. I walked and showed them how each works on their leash and how they place and return to their crates. They both have been so considerate with my particular needs and so flexible with my ever changing schedule. I been using them for now a couple years as a consistent walker and or pet sitter and they have yet to let me down. I recommend them to anyone who is near by.

We started out having Mike walk our two dogs. They are a little wild on walks and he took it upon himself to work with them some on his own accord. He sends a picture each day that is cool when I'm away. He has also house and and walked the dogs. His pricing is very reasonable compared to other service providers. I'm not one to give reviews but Mike is super and deserving. Meet him and you will see his causal but strong love of animal come through immediately. Can't say enough about him...use him, you won't be disappointed.

Great, reliable service! Highly recommend them in the San Diego area.

Janean took excellent care of my small senior chihuahua while I was on vacation in Mexico. She sent photos each day with updates which gave me peace of mind on vacation. I highly recommend. Thank you, Janean, Machel 🙏

We have used Hounds to Horses for years to care for our pets. They are professional, friendly, reliable, and our pets are still happy and healthy when we get home. I cannot recommend them enough.

Janean is awesome! First time boarding both our dogs together. They were so happy and well cared for here. No chance we would go anywhere else. Plenty of love and attention... plenty of room to play... total peace of mind. Loved getting picture updates on how our dogs were doing while we were gone. Highest recommendation!

Janean is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and seems to be able to make them feel very comfortable. My 2 Chihuahuas have stayed with her 2 times over the last couple of months. 1 is very skittish and the other has tremendous separation anxiety. Both so very well there and I am so grateful!

We have used both the daycare and in-home visits at Hounds to Horses. Lucy and Jasper always get the best of care. Lucy thinks Bill is her "other Dad" and sometimes seems to prefer staying with him than coming home! That tells me that she's getting the love and attention she needs while we are away. We've been using H to H for over 8 years and I would recommend it to anyone who wants kindhearted people to take care of their fur babies. Thanks Janean and Bill!

I've experienced the great environment and personal care that they give all of their animals. The only concern you should have about boarding your animals at Hounds To Horses is that your pet may never want to go back home with you! I highly recommend Hounds To Horses!

Sonny & Sophie (Boxers} spent Labor Day Week end At Hounds to Horses (2020) Great in House Venue as well as access to out doors activitys. could tell when pick up Sonny and Sophie were well taken care of. "When Do We Go Back" thanks Janean

My dog loves it here. And it's very safe. Owner of thoughtful and sweet, I even got update photos of my girl during her boarding stay which was amazing bc I missed my doggo so much

Wonderful experience and a homely, fun place. Our King Charles was happy and obviously well looked after. Will definitely be going back.

Contacted twice over the past 2 or 3 years. No follow up or follow through.

Athena is very knowledgeable on how to take care of our dogs Boone and Betsy. We have peace of mind every time we leave our dogs.

Went in to window shop. My kiddos enjoyed seeing the different pets inside the store. Everything was a bit expensive. I find better prices on Amazon for pet supplies and food.

Petsmart is my favorite place to stock up on cat and dog food. I did not use the Doggie Day Camp.

Great shopping experience

👍❤️🙂 …

Just went to buy food

I randomly stumbled across Pets in Paradise when my high energy pit bull mix was not enjoying her other daycare as much. Pets in Paradise has been incredible! My dog is very selective in who she likes, and she absolutely adores the staff here. She gets to run around outside all day and the staff sends pictures and updates throughout the day to provide peace knowing she is enjoying herself.

I love this place!! My dogs always come back happy, fresh from a bath, and tired from having so much fun. Thank you to the incredible staff for taking such good care of my pups Bowie and Rocky!

My dog Sadie doesn't like many people and won't even go for a walk with good friends of mine who she knows well. However, she absolutely loves the staff at Pets in Paradise. In the morning, she waits at the door for their arrival and practically jumps into their arms when they come to pick her up. When she comes home in the afternoon, she is tired and happy. I have been unable to walk her, so Pets in Paradise has become a life saver for me and also for Sadie.

My dog loves this place. She comes back happy and tired. The taxi service is awesome. She jumps right in the van without saying good bye. All of the staff I have met have been so friendly. I highly recommend the doggy day care or boarding to anyone!

Our waiter Alex was AWESOME! Food and drink were great and view of the race track was fun!

Great rustic environment for pets to enjoy...staff is professional and knowledgeable and truly care for your pets of all sizes

Very caring employees and always polite and smiling because they love their job.

This place is great. They really go the extra mile!

Took our pup for her first groom after we adopted her. I was nervous as she is a rescue and has separated anxiety. Our groomer came out, sat with us, talked me through what we signed up for and what she suggested. The whole team made the pup feel safe and at ease. We even got a little report card when I picked her up. Thank you! Update 12-21-2024 This place still keeps up amazing work and has a wonderful staff. They surprised us with holiday photos of our pup. THANK YOU! It is the little things like this that have a big impact.

When we moved, we looked for a place that could take our dog, Leia, for grooming. We have had nothing but great experiences with the entire staff. Grooming is always done in a timely manner (have now gone 5 times over the last couple years), and my dog is always happy, soft, and perfectly groomed when I pick her up. Thank you Priscilla, Madeline, Rachel and Anai for always making Leia beautiful! ☺️

Our first visit to Hot Diggity Dog was a success. Maddie our groomer was caring, kind & actually listened to my concerns about my dog's 1st groom with her. Pup came out after the full treatment looking and smelling good. I could tell from his body language he was comfortable around her. We talked over a plan for continuing care for him. I'm thankful to Maddie. She's great!

Hot diggity dog has some of the best grooming around. Especially the groomer Maddie! She makes our boy feel so loved and so well taken care of. Maddie has been cutting our dog Bernie’s hair for over a year now and she nails it every time!

Sierra did great! Nekita looks like a brand new dog. I strongly recommend this company for all of your pet grooming needs! Thank you so much

My girl is getting used to grooming again. Thanks to Maddie for being patient and putting effort in connecting with my girl to make her comfortable. My girl came out with shiny and super soft hair. I always enjoy the grooming reports and the bandanas after her appointments.

Grooming of our Multigenerational Australian Bernedoodle, Birdie, by Keri. Friendly & professional. Great job and we loved the report card which sighted observations and provided the overall experience they had with Birdie. Highly recommended!

Great place! Groomers were always very patient with one of my older dogs that had trouble standing up for a long time. They took care of her when other groomers refused to cut her hair or demanded extra fees. I will keep coming back out of gratitude, even though my current dogs are low maintenance.

I have three dogs and have been coming here for a while now. We always love it but today was extra special. My 15yr old baby (meatball) is living out his bucket list before crossing over the rainbow bridge. He loves his spa days! Anahi, Maddie, Priscilla, and Keri went above and beyond to make this day special for meatball and me. Went as far as signing his report card with special notes 🥹 and saving some hair for me. Thank you all for making this day extra special.

I love love love all the groomers I've had at hot diggity dog. I can't tell you what a mess my dogs are(newfoundland and black russian terrier) we live on a farm so they are outside and messy/dirty/matted. Also my dogs are not the easiest to groom with my newfi weighing 125+ lbs. Maddie and Rachel Lee were the last groomers I had and wow they did an amazing job!. from matted too the most smooth slicked glossy coats. My black russian terrier feels like a velvet rabbit, i cant stop petting them. their attention to detail and love for my babies shows in their work. I could not be happier. I have gone to other groomers and no other groomers comes close to getting the results I get here. Beyond thrilled to have found this place. thank you again for all your marvelous work!

We picked up our pup from his first day of daycare today and I'm happy to report TailWag Resorts is our new home away from home for our pup. This is an Incredible place for dogs to simply do what they do best... be a dog! The resort sits on 1.5 acres and every area and detail has been carefully and thoughtfully curated with our furry friends in mind. They have several different areas on the property to help bring your dog's senses to life from the Sniff Safari, an Agility Course and even a pool for dogs to safely play in. The wonderful staff and owners who run the resort are incredibly kind and compassionate people. You have a great sense of security knowing your dog is being well taken care of by good-natured human beings. Our conversations with Isaac, the owner, have been prompt and courteous. Our interactions with Sue have also been wonderful, and she comes with several years of experienced care and dog training; both have been ready and willing to answer any questions we've had. If you are looking to board your dog, or if you are looking for a fun, safe and out of the ordinary (in a very special kind of way) place to bring your dog for daycare, and/or training bring your furry friend to TailWag Resort.

This place is absolutely incredible! My dog Sugar had the time of her life; everyone is incredibly friendly and caring. They showered Sugar with so much love; she had an absolute blast. The facilities are top-notch, spacious, and provide plenty of room for the dogs to play and socialize. Every little detail was taken care of. I highly recommend this place. A huge shoutout to Isaac and Corine, they are wonderful people who clearly prioritize the well-being of the dogs. I cannot express how much I loved the experience! It's such a relief to know that our beloved dog is in the best hands while we're away.

Tail Wags Resort always knows how to get my high energy dog to finally tucker down for the night! Their facility is well organized and clean. I adore how they have different areas for different activities, my personal favorite for my dog is the sniff area. I trust them to take good care of my Kiki and will certainly be coming back ❤️

This is an amazing doggy daycare facility! My husband and I have been hesitant for the longest time about leaving our dogs under the care of anyone but family and friends, but the staff here is incredible! We have regularly taken our pups to this daycare with no issues. Our dogs are always excited upon realizing we've arrived ☺️. We've even used their overnight stay services and would highly recommend! They were very accommodating of the specific food preparation that we follow.

If your looking for the best place to care for your furry friends, look no further than TailWag Resorts. Issac and Sue are amazing and have a wonderful safe and fun adventure for your dogs. They have great daycare packages as well as overnight packages and you can leave your furry friends knowing they are in loving and caring hands. Our dog Benny had the best time and met new friends. It was wonderful knowing while we were on vacation he was having a great time and was so safe, loved and cared for. TailWag is Benny's new home away from home.❤️

AMAZING clean amazing staff awesome facility! Your pups will love this amazing resort with engagement for all ages, private play, ball pits, water play, sniff areas, agility course they have it all! 10/10 Updated took Carlson for his second day of daycare and love this facility even more! Carl is always so happy to be dropped off for his fun day of adventure! Love the staff love the facility wonderful facility to trust with my beloved fur pup!🐾

Can’t stress enough how amazing TailWag is!! We had recently just moved to the area, and I was finally ready to send my 6 month old lab puppy to a fun daycare to socialize and have some stimulation while my partner and I work from home. I was having such a hard time finding a daycare that met my VERY VERY high standards of being safe, having good vibes, and with people that I can trust. TailWag Resorts is the only place that took every criteria I had and hit it out of the park! They run their facility with genuine love and care for their dogs, and have truly created such a safe and welcoming environment so that my lab pup feels at home. The owners and trainers are also just so lovely and fun to be around — they’ve become my dogs favorite people :) We love you guys!!

My very introverted dog has become a changed man! He loves the resort and all the fun activities there. Mom and Dad are very happy to see this transformation, It is a great place, full of activities and stimulating adventures for our dearest pals and the staff are amazing people. An excellent environment and caring people. What more can you ask for?

We just went for a meet n greet, and we love the space and people! They have a well set up system to care for your furry family member. Everyone is welcoming and has a great focus on your pets well-being. We're excited to have our dog join the Tailwag family.

Just Wow. This property is amazing. The individuals that work here are always so kind and polite. I feel very comfortable leaving my beloved pet here. Clean and secure stick out the most when I think of this wonderful puppy hotel.

Aysha is the best! There’s no one else I would trust my dog with! My dog literally loses his mind every time he sees her because he associates her with good times! The first pic is from a pack walk my dog went on last week. He’s the one all the way to the left in a down with pointy ears. The second pic is Luce when I told him Aysha was here. The last pic is Luce after the pack walk. He sleeps most of the afternoon and into the evening. You need this woman in your life!

Our dog has been going out with Pals that Wander as soon as he was old enough to do so, and now he is so super socialized, and he looks forward to the two times a week. He gets picked up for a special hike and play date. I couldn’t recommend Pals that Wander more , my dog dollar is super lucky!!!

I cannot express the gratitude that I feel for the sincere love and compassion that they showed me and my dogs. They offer pickup and drop off daycare services and they offer sitting services. The daycare is a typically in a hike or at the beach and my pups always come home exhausted. I call these sisters my dog’s “girlfriends” because he is more excited to see them than than he is to see me come through the door. They take professional photos of the whole adventure so you have incredible footage of your pet in action.

Aysha and her sister are the best!! The initial paperwork is complete and dedicated to getting to know your dog, flaws and all. My dog loves his time with them!! You will get pictures and updates while you are away! Check out their feed, happy doggies!!! Scheduling is easy! Day trips or overnights are available. I never worry about my dog when he's with them. He comes home tired 🤩

***PALS THAT WANDER IS THE BEST*** Since moving across the country, far away from friends and family who would love on my dog while I was away, I found it extremely hard to find someone that would care for my dog like I would. Dog hotels and even pet sitters that were recommended left me feeling uneasy, as I could tell my dog was riddled with anxiety after a day with them. Pals That Wander is THE ONLY sitters that I leave my dog with, where I feel he is getting treated as well as if he were with me. My dog is obsessed with the beach and they pick him up for a day of fun in the California sun, while somehow capturing some of the best photos I have of my dog. It’s so awesome to get photo and video check ins of his adventures to ease my guilt over having to leave him. Even if I’m not out of town, it’s so nice to be able to have them pick my dog up on a heavy work week, so that he still gets a day of play that he deserves. The pickup/drop off is so convenient. You will not regret hiring them as your trusted sitters. They are truly one of a kind!

I am genuinely so delighted to have been referred to Pals That Wander this past spring. We started out looking for a reliable pet-sitter so we didn't need to send our pup to a big kennel. The moment I met Aysha, I knew it would be the right fit. She began taking Leo on beach trips to get used to him and vice verse. Now *WE* are all hooked :) He adores his (sometimes twice) weekly beach trips with his pals, gets out so much energy, and has had many stays with Aysha and her sweet sister, Kimmie for overnights. I literally don't trust my dog to anyone else. You will not only end up with the most amazing photos of your dog having the best beach playtime of their life, but your dog will end up with the best pack of pals ever. My dog has a better social life than I do thanks to Aysha :) Anytime we've been away and he's stayed for overnights, I never, ever worry because she keeps me in the loop the whole time of how he's doing. Could not recommend Aysha and Pals That Wander more. 10/10!

i can’t say enough wonderful things about Ayesha and Pals that Wander!! she is organized, diligent, honest and hard working!! best of all she takes impeccable care of our dog and we trust her 💯! he always comes back home after a pack walk, clean, tired and happy! …

So grateful to have a safe and loving place for our dog to stay when we are away. The daily text updates and pictures make our hearts happy! The hikes and trips to the beach are an added bonus! I highly recommend Aysha and Pals That Wander!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aisha and her team. They have been a literal godsend to me, my family, and our 2 year old goldendoodle named Frankie. For nearly a year now they have taken our sweet but rambunctious boy out 3 days a week on adventures to the beach and to hiking spots around town. Frankie is incredibly high energy who needs lots of social interaction and if not — is sad and depressed at home — and we are not that comfortable spending time at dog parks where I don’t know about any possible behavioral issues of other dogs. Aisha and her team are kind, professional, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, talented, reliable, trustworthy and just an overall great company. Frankie LOVES his time with them (borderline obsessed) and waits at the window anxiously for their arrival. Best decision ever! (The photo below is one Aisha took of Frankie last week at the beach. She regularly sends amazing photos & videos of Frankie after each adventure! Simply amazing!)

Our doodle Rooney gets so excited whenever he sees Aysha and the Pals that Wander crew show up. The adventures the dogs go on are so fun and Aysha takes great care of the dogs. I especially appreciate that it is door to door service- this really helps us and our busy schedules. Highly recommend their service!
