Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Aubry looks after my dog and cat whenever I am out of town or out of the house for the whole day. She is very reliable and always send photo updates of them. Both of my fur babies love her! She’s the best.
Aubry and her team are the absolute best! It's always stressful leaving your pets behind while on vacation but leaving them with Aubry and Tami I know I don't have to worry. They are dependable and always go the extra mile to ensure our pets are well cared for when we are out of town. They always check in and send lots of pictures so I know our sometimes shy kitty is having the best time with them!
Aubry was amazing! Like most pet owners it’s always hard not to worry about our pets when we’re away. She was reliable, trustworthy, kind, and most importantly, great with my animal. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.
I wholeheartedly recommend Aubry as a cat sitter to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Her genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and reliability make her the perfect choice for pet owners looking for peace of mind while away from home.
Aubry is a great sitter! We have used her services many times for dogs & cats. She is very knowledgeable, caring & gentle with our babies. We are very picky & trust her completely.
Aubry and Tami are wonderful. It gives me so much peace of mind to know they are caring for our kitties and when we are away. They go above and beyond every time and are easy to schedule with. Thank you!
I found Aubry's online and took a chance because I was in a bind. It has worked out great - that's why I am sharing. This is the only service I use for my frequent business travel and my cat loves her. They are sincerely nice and caring. Everything is clean and neat when I come home, and the texted picture I get from every visit is a welcome treat while I am on the road. This service is totally trustworthy for your four legged baby!
We really appreciated Aubry's care and attention to our kitties...we don't travel much, but when we do we need someone we can trust to enter our home and care for our pets. Aubry is the best! So if you're looking for someone you can trust the keys to your home with and more importantly, the safety and welfare of your pets, give Aubry a call.
Aubry has always been dependable and showed great communication skills. She really loves the animals and makes sure that the customer is 100% satisfied.
WONDERFUL boarding. We contacted Pacific Beach Pet Care on the fly for boarding that same day and they were fantastic in supporting our needs. From the moment our needy mini dachshund walked into their facility they made her feel at home and happy! Highly recommend their services. Thank you Pacific Beach Pet Care for taking such good care of our baby Pebbles!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with PB Pet Care. Vinny and Shirine took care of both my dogs as if they were their own. They played, did photo shoots, and on the nights they stayed over, they were treated like family. They are very responsive to text communication and flexible with dates and times, as needed. Any time we are back in SoCal, I will definitely be using PB Pet Care!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Pacific Beach Pet Care is the best! They provide individualized care for each dog’s needs. I have used them for two very different dogs. One dog does not get along with other dogs. He had his own area dedicated for dogs with special needs. My other dog loves to play with other dogs although he’s skittish. He is able to socialize with other dogs while feeling safe. I always feel comfortable leaving my dog at Pacific Beach Pet Care, especially since they are AKC certified and can provide dogs with care in a specialized way.
Highly recommend PB petcare for your doggy daycare and boarding needs! I can tell that our pup loves Shirine and Vinnie so much and always has a great time, I always feel safe and comfortable leaving him there. I can tell they are helping him develop and learn too, and they give us great tips on training him and managing puppy behaviors.
Pacific beach pet care is the absolute best!! When I found shirine and Vince they changed my world I knew I was always leaving my golden doodle in the best hands having gone to many other boarders in San Diego it was such a gift to find people who treat your pet like their own no crates plenty of room to play and they are always so flexible and responsive and delightful to talk to most importantly so much love every time we leave our pup we know he is in the best of hands! I cant speak more highly of pacific beach pet care we are so grateful for them they are the absolute best!!
Vinny and Shirine are absolutely fantastic! We’ve been leaving our dogs with them for the last five years and they are always extremely accommodating and take excellent care of our doggies. Even after we moved out of PB, we still bring our dogs out to them because we know they’ll be well taken care of and they’re fairly priced. We also have referred them to a few friends and they’ve had great experiences as well.
I love PB pet care ! Vinnie and Shirine are amazing professionals and they love Luna ! . They literally go above and beyond for Luna’s care. Luna gets to be a dog for the day and I get to be at work stress free knowing that’s she’s in great hands. The drop off and pick up process is quick and easy. The response time is right away and the care for these dogs is like one big happy family in the most convenient area of pacific beach.
Vincent and Shirene and Pacific Beach Pet Care are awesome. I've been taking my Golden (Chloe) there for over three years. She loves the care she gets and playing with the other doggies - especially Goldens! Great environment for dogs to play in. They are very accommodating with last minute drop offs when necessary. I highly recommend them!
I came to Shirine and Vinny with my husband for two of our pups now and I can’t say enough good things about how well they treat our little babies. First we used to bring our older dog, Violet (husky mix), for daycare on a daily for over 6 months. During that time, Vinny and Shirine helped us shape her into the amazing dog she is today, by giving us A TON of training guidance, tips and even training her when they found some time during normal daycare hours 😍 More recently we took our relationship with Shirine and Vinny a step further with our new puppy Silo. Knowing that Shirine is a FANTASTIC dog trainer we decided to bring him in for the boarding program, where Shirine took him in for over 4 weeks and worked day in and day out with him on multiple basic and advanced commands. He’s at a place training wise that we never even dreamed off for him to be as an adult dog, let alone a 4 month old puppy. We can’t wait to see the fantastic dog he will become and nothing of this would be possible without the incredible work done by Shirine on his boarding 🙌🏼 In summary, for ANYTHING DOG RELATED Pacific Beach Petcare has got your back! Whether it be basic daycare for a day, weekend boarding, training, you name it!
I can’t speak highly enough about this place. The owners genuinely care concerned about every animal that comes through their doors as if it is their own I have had instances where I needed to bring a dog that belongs to clients or what not from my company and they have been available with short notice and their prices were remarkable the care & concern they show each animal is just wonderful. Definitely will use them again.
Maria took care of our senior, three-legged kitty Moo while we were away for thanksgiving and I knew from the start our beloved boy would be in good hands. She was very responsive and made the entire process painless. Our cat settled in right away, despite us being nervous about how he would handle it. He loved Maria instantly and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well taken care of and loved. In addition, we were updated daily with sweet photos, and the rates are very reasonable! Highly recommend and will use Maria again if we ever need pet care while we are away. She is an animal lover and great at what she does!
I've been hiring Maria for pet sitting of my two kitties for about a year now. She is wonderful with my kitties and they love her! Maria has pet sat for me while on extended trips, Most recently though, she swooped in and saved the day while I had a medical emergency and was hospitalized. I was out of kitty litter and on my way to buy more when I had to go to the ER. I contacted Maria from the hospital and she was able to pick up litter and feed my cats. I don't know what I would have done without her! I've also boarded my cats before I found Fur The Love of Your Pet. Its definitely reassuring to know that my cats can stay in the comfort of our home and are in good hands with Maria. She is reliable, shows up at agreed upon times, and always sends a photo or video at each visit. Maria is someone that you can trust and rely on. Her love of pets is unmatched.
Maria is fabulous! She’s reliable and always makes sure to send us updates on our sweet baby girl, complete with reports and funny pictures. I appreciate her updates and her attention to details like how many times my pup goes to the bathroom and how often she eats. She makes sure our pup receives lots of love and attention and it makes all the difference in the world to us. I recommend her services.
Maria is the best! Super kind and my kitties love her. I have no hesitations leaving my cats in the care of Maria! She sends me daily photos and always return to a clean cat area!
Have been using Maria for about 4-5 years now so this review is long overdue. Maria does a great job looking after our kitties every time we go out of town. She is flexible and easy going and most importantly an animal lover. I could tell the minute I met her. I have been pleased each time I use her. Her services also include: picking up the mail, watering plants, food water play time with your pet, leaving daily notes, and she even texts us pic updates! Leaving my kitties for a long time is hard enough, but knowing they are in good hands with Maria means the world to us! You won't go wrong with her.
I travel quite a bit for work and have three cats and relatively new to San Diego and did a Yelp search and found Fur The Luv of Your Pets which had great reviews. Maria also had exceptional reviews as well as credentials which was a great start. She scheduled an appointment in advance if my first trip to meet my babies in person. Our initial meeting was amazing as all three of them instantly walked up to her to say hello; this typically does not happen. She has a gentle, kind way with animals and she and I built great rapport from our first meeting. In addition, Maria is very knowledgeable and provides helpful recommendations and she keeps me informed of how Mason, Malloy and Blue are doing. Maria will send me a pic of them; which reassures me and I have complete trust and confidence they are in good hands. If you are looking for a credentialed, qualified professional with a natural gift of taking exceptional care of animals, Fur The Love of Your Pet is the company to use and Maria is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Our family LOVES Maria & Fur the Love of Your Pet!! She has been taking care of our fur babies for almost 4 years now and she is part of the family. Our dogs adore her, and run to greet her every time she comes to the door, which is a definite sign to me that she is good to them!. She is loving with them and very responsible with our one baby who has allergies and needs special supplements and care. I trust her completely with my kiddos & would recommend her to any friends or family!
Maria is wonderful. She takes care of my cat. I'm so glad that we found Maria. She always text after she takes care of Chiquita with pictures and letting me know about Chiks. Thank you for giving my baby her medication and supplements and lots of love. I feel so lucky that we found Maria. I recommend her 100% she is an amazing pet lover!
When we discovered Fur the Love Of Your Pet it came from staff in our long time vet’s office. What a find! For the last 2 years Maria, whose soul is deeply entangled with her furry friends, has reliably fed, played with, and handled other well-being duties as needed by our kitties. She was invaluable when taking on end-of-life maintenance fluids and medications for our 18 yr old cat while we needed to be out of town. She has kept up in her formal training as a vet tech. Each visit is documented real time over her cell phone to us showing a gps map with her current location, a brief description of our kitty’s health along with a photo, and the time checking into the house and leaving the house. She has good communication skills, good attention to the cat’s needs, and a real love for her furry charges. Do not hesitate to trust your pet to Maria!
Maria is a lifesaver! Not only is she extremely trustworthy (which is hard to find and huge for us) she’s very responsive and we can tell that she really takes great care of our pet. Maria sends photo updates which puts our minds at ease, we highly recommend her and her services. Thank you, Maria!
Kathy is the best dog sitter out there! She has watched our 2yr old golden retriever about a dozen times, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in great care with her. She sends lots of photos, and keeps us informed of how he’s doing. I was always nervous about leaving my dog until I found Kathy. We highly reccomended her!!
Kathy has been my dog sitter going on 3 years. We absolutely love her. My dog Maya is always safe and well cared for. Whether I'm traveling domestically or abroad, I'm 100% confident she's in good hands. Kathy provides me regular updates, pictures and videos while I'm away. Maya gets plenty of play time because there are regularly other dogs there and they have a spacious yard to play in. I recommend Kathy again and again. She's the best!!
Kathy is such a lovely person. When our family was visiting San Diego over this Christmas holiday we checked into our hotel with our dog only to find out that she isn't allowed to be in the room unaccompanied. I reached out to so many pet sitters, and Kathy was the only person who was willing to watch her during the day on the 24th/25th of December. When our doggo got sick during the night she as kind enough to refund us and suggest a vet that was actually able to see our pup on Christmas eve. Thank you, Kathy! If we ever have need of a dog sitter in San Diego again we will certainly look you up.
I have a stubborn Frenchie that was able to be trained and even boarded here. I was a little hesitant due to being fairly new, but I was referred by someone I trust that sung their praises..and I'm so glad I did. Great price, excellent communication and yes...my boy is actually listening now!
Kathy Mack is the only person who has taken care of Winston when we are away. He has grown up under her care. We are always confident that he will be safe and happy at her facility. Dog care and training is her full time occupation. We feel very fortunate to have found her so close by.
Our dog Cooper has stayed with Kathy multiple times and is always in the best hands!! We always receive multiple pictures of him throughout his stay and we love that they have a backyard that he can roam around and get fresh air :) She's been astounding with last minute requests or changes if we need a last minute sitter and is always reliable for booking out long term as well! Our go-to dog sitter for sure.
Palina is real expert... warm and caring and instantly bonded with my 4 year old dog Prince Boo and 16 year old cat, Kono. My dog has shown separation anxiety when we’ve gone on holidays which made me seriously nervous to travel overseas. However, Palina was very attentive, reliable and kept my animals well exercised & loved while we were on vacation. Not to mention, she either texted via Wattsapp and emailed me daily keeping me updated... even sending me videos and pictures of my happy pets. Honestly, I’ve never seen my dog so relaxed and so well-treated as when we came home from our trip after Palina had stay. I will always feel safe and secure knowing my pets are in Wiggly Tail's hands.
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 100% recommend Posh Pet Nanny for your fur babies! She will love your pets like her own. She will meet any special needs for them AND you! She sends me videos when I’m away. I have absolutely no worries with Candy as nanny! She is definitely more than a sitter!
My dog Durham had the best time at Poochella Pet care. We left him over night and will definitely be coming back. Erika provided updates and photos and could tell gave all the dogs the best care and attention. Durham had a blast with all the dogs, especially Blue.
My dog Izzy absolutely loves hanging out with Erika and her dogs. Anytime we go out of town, I know she is absolutely adored and taken the best care of. I get lots of picture updates, and she always comes home so tired from lots of play. Definitely recommend coming here with your pooch when you go out of town!
This pet care place takes extraordinary care of my pets everyday/weeks. The owner loves my dogs, and they play so well together👍 …
I'm overjoyed to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional experiences I've had with Fon Jon Pet Care, particularly after entrusting them with my cherished dog, Philippa or Pippa, for the third time. From the instant I stepped into their establishment, I was deeply moved by the heartfelt greeting and sincere concern exhibited by Anthony, the manager, and his remarkable team. Fon Jon Pet Care distinguishes itself with a standard of service that is truly exceptional. Pippa always returns home radiating joy and in excellent health, a clear testament to the unwavering commitment and expertise of the entire staff. The facilities are pristine, clearly demonstrating their high standards for cleanliness and comfort. From the bottom of my heart, I recommend Fon Jon Pet Care to all pet owners seeking a secure and nurturing environment for their furry companions. My deepest thanks for consistently surpassing my expectations and for providing Pippa with such exceptional care. I eagerly anticipate our ongoing relationship with Fon Jon Pet Care for all of Pippa's future boarding needs.
Fon Jon Pet Care & Man K9 is a home away from home for my 9 month old lab Bowie. I brought Bowie to Man K9 as soon as he was old enough to start training. We worked with Ricky who is the most patient and wonderful trainer. I travel frequently and knowing that Bowie loved his time training made boarding at Fon Jon a natural fit. Anthony and team are so awesome. I know I can always call and check in. Bowie comes home a happy dog every time! Thank you🐾😊
They are extremely unreliable and incredibly rude. After having told them multiple times of an early drop off, their employee gave us a hard time and also told me that they will refuse service. Imagine making arrangements weeks in advance for boarding your pet, to be taken advantage of and being told they won’t take the pet knowing fully well that the customer’s flight is in the next hour or two. This was such a disappointing experience. They show no accountability and need a reality check with their behavior towards customers. I am truly disgusted at how that one employee treated us. Taking advantage of our situation must have been the highlight of her miserable year. Well done Fon Jon.
We absolutely love this doggy daycare! We have the monthly pass for our dog, Hank, and it is so worth it. They make the process so easy during drop off/pick up, and Hank is always excited when we pull into the parking lot and sees anyone on the amazing staff. We also board Hank here and take advantage of their grooming services. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful pet care center.
I have been taking my fur babies to Fon Jon for over 17 years and there is no one else I trust with them. The staff is so wonderful and not only really care/love/understand the pups but also me and my life. I have recommended Fon Jon to many friends, who also love it there. I work from home and need to travel sometimes, so my pups go to daycare to play every day and are boarded there when I need to be out of town. Thank you Fon Jon for everything you do!
Fon Jon's Pet Care and K9 Training is an absolute dream! Being a new dog mom was initially overwhelming, but discovering Fon Jon's changed everything. Dropping off Frank is completely stress-free (even for a helicopter mom like me lol) The team at Fon Jon has palpable love and genuine care for every dog that walks through their doors. It's clear that the entire team not only loves their job but also has a deep affection for the dogs in their care. Everyone immediately knew Frank by name and even helped me get gum out from between his toes!! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and caring place for Frank. Leaving him in their care feels like I'm leaving him with family (who happen to be dog experts!) Frank absolutely adores going to Fon Jon's. Every time I pick him up, he's happily tired out from all the fun and activity. It's truly heartwarming to see how much he enjoys his time there. Fon Jon's is more than just a pet care facility--it's a sanctuary where dogs are loved, cared for, and thoroughly enjoy themselves. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
Highly recommend this place for training your dogs! Manuel & Fon are great at what they do & truly understand dogs! Especially high drive dogs that need a little extra challenge to be the "bestest dog" in our family pack! Our young pup get so excited to do training when we get the parking lot she can't wait to get out of the car and start!
This review is long overdue, but I just want to thank everyone at Fon Jon for so many years of making my pup’s day!! We’ve been coming for a few years now and I have nothing but good things to say about how much the staff loves what they do. My dog loves this place more than home sometimes it feels like. My #1 recommendation for anyone who needs daycare or boarding in San Diego!
Office staff is incompetent and rude. Gave them my drop off time multiple times. Then they were surprised, giving me an attitude, because I was there for an early drop off. They also needed to be reminded of the feeding schedule three separate ocassions. Their fees are outrageous and they have awful customer service. I definitely don’t recommend this place. You can go somewhere else that’s more affordable and friendlier.
My dog has gone to daycare, training with k9 and grooming and boarding!! I absolutely love dropping my dog off there, the staff is so sweet and always make my dog feel welcomed even from greeting us when we get there !! I typically do full days of day care and some maintenance training and I think it’s fully worth the money and he loves spending time there and Ricky the k9 trainer is awesome!! My dog midknight responded so well to his training and every-time I pick him up he’s wiped!!
After taking our boy Preston to another doggy day care that told us we needed more training before we could bring him back, we brought him to Dog Days. After the first day of leaving him here we were so happy. The Dog Days staff gave us such detailed information on Preston’s stay. They showed so much care and on top of that Preston was so worn out from playing, he rested for a couple days after over night boarding. This is good because being Husky mix, he has an extreme amount of endless energy. We have trusted Dog Days with multiple nights of overnight boarding as we have had to go out of town or work late. Preston gets so excited when we are a block away to go play with his friends at Dog Days. It’s so nice that when our work schedule gets hectic we can take him to Dog Days and know he is going to be so well taken care of and have such a good time. Dog Days has been a godsend for all of us, including Preston. We are forever thankful!! They were also able to trim his nails which he is very sensitive about. We were almost out of options and they got it done. Dog Days has many additional services from Dog walks to Grooming as well. Do not hesitate to take your dog here for day care or over night boarding.
The team at Dog Days San Diego are amazing and treat my babies like one of their own. I am able to relax on our trips because I know my pups are taken care of. They offer pack hikes, so it's like Shadow and Kaia are on their own vacation. I can message them to get updates and photos
We absolutely love this place. It was recommended by our trainer at Pack Method Prep which is another great resource. I have 6 month old puppy mutt husky mix. He is large he needs exercise and he is very timid so he needs some confidence. I appreciate he can play despite not being neutered yet due to his age. He loves dogs and people and gets interaction from both. They are all dog loving here everyone is always so happy to see him. It’s a really great safe place to bring your pup. Since starting daycare days a couple times a week it’s made such a difference. He is calmer, more confident and oddly stopped having potty accidents completely. He loves being with his family and hated his one boarding experience but I pick him up so happy here. Best thing we started doing. Plus my older dog appreciates the break from puppy and he is passed out after a day here!
My little boy, Tony, is usually very timid and shy. But after a weekend at Dog Days I noticed a huge difference. He made lots of friends, and I can tell his confidence was boosted. He was so calm on the drive back home, as opposed to before when he would just shake for the entire ride. And the best part is they trimmed his nails! I love this place!
My velcro dog can’t leave me fast enough when we enter Dog Days doors! He started daycare regularly as a puppy and I attribute a lot of his socialization skills to Dog Days. He learned how to play, communicate, and understand different behaviors. Whether it’s a day of play or overnight boarding, I know that my guy is happy and safe. The staff is always friendly and goes above and beyond for any range of questions you may have. I can’t recommend this place enough!
I’ve had a wonderful experience with Dog Days for my 5-month-old puppy’s socialization. The staff has been amazing and patient, especially in helping my vocal puppy overcome his first-day jitters. Since that initial visit, my puppy has been back for both half-day and full-day sessions, and each time has been fantastic. What stands out to me is the level of care and communication from the Dog Days team. Since I am curious how my little guy is doing, all I have to do is make a quick call to the front. They are always happy to provide updates on how my puppy is doing, and even who he’s playing with, and his overall progress. Additionally, they went above and beyond when I had a last-minute scheduling conflict. They arranged a transport home for my puppy with their bus service, saving me from a stressful situation with traffic and timing. Overall, my puppy now loves going to Dog Days, and I feel confident that he’s in the best hands. It’s great to have a place where he can have fun, get more socialization, and give me a much-needed break. I highly recommend Dog Days to any pet owner looking for a caring and professional environment for their furry friends.
Staff is super friendly! Happy the neutering requirement is until a year old since I’m not sure about neutering my puppy yet. Also they don’t require the lepto vaccine which I’ve been told could be a little too much for a puppy that has been sick before. I loved their report card feature with details about his behavior during his stay and getting super cute photos of my my dog. They also have social media where they could feature your dog on their stories or posts. Follow Conan and his big sis on your social 🤍 @bluandconan
Dog Days is the best daycare/boarding experience! I left my beagle pup, Buddy, with them for 6 days and he was so happy when I picked him up. Their report cards are also very kind and thorough about what he's been up with the other pups. I feel so safe leaving my dog with them. They're the ultimate dog lovers here!
This is hands down the best doggy day care and overnight boarding in San Diego. Our 2 rescue pups have come here several times over the last few years, for as long as 6 nights, and every time I’m blown away by the level of care provided. One of our dogs is super friendly, while the other is much more shy and still getting used to strangers and other dogs. Our shy dog needs to be with her sister at all times, and isn’t always the best at communicating her feelings - and Dog Days always provides us with thorough updates on how she’s doing and accommodates her little quirks (like needing to be in the small dog area despite being 50 pounds, ha) to make sure she’s doing well & that all the other dogs are comfortable too. We’ve also used their transportation drop off service, and there was a hiccup once where our shy dog was having some barrier aggression when getting into the van. Rather than throwing their hands up and asking us to come get her, DD gave her and her sister a PRIVATE ride home - we were obviously a bit mortified but so relieved that DD handled the situation so well for all dogs involved. They gave us a robust rundown of the situation and recommendations for how to handle similar issues in the future. And whenever we call to check in as anxious dog parents, they always give us detailed notes on their behavior and health as well. We also love that they have extracurriculars for the dogs, like hiking outings, too! Dog Days is truly the most professional level of dog care you can get in San Diego - and while the rates do reflect that, it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind. Ziggy and Nova say thank you!!
Our 9 month old chocolate lab attends daycare here and he loves it. I appreciate the ease of reserving days online and their flexibility with last minute changes when possible. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about big, strong willed dogs like ours. I picked them specifically because they fit with my own dog philosophy....things like not allowing dogs to greet on leash, taking collars off prior to play, knowing how to watch dog language and step in to teach the dogs proper playing etiquette before anything gets out of hand. The big dog area is outside but the staff does a great job of keeping the dogs cool. It's not the prettiest or newest facility but I have no concerns with cleanliness and I prefer quality staff over a fancy facility. Since starting daycare, my 65 pound puppy is calmer and better behaved on the days we are together all day. I also like that the place offers training and hike packs as an option. We haven't used those yet but plan to when we board him to give him some variety and make sure he doesn't forget all his training while we are away!
Mira and her fabulous team have been taking care of our dogs Benny and Louie for years. They have always been able to accommodate our requests- even if last minute - and every day we receive an update and photos of the pups. My dogs love them like family. We would never go anywhere else!
Great service for pet sitting! Mira the owner of this business is an amazing person. My Kotok is happy! Any time we go somewhere we know that he will be taken care of.
Have used paradise for any trip I've taken over the past few years. All of the sitters have done an excellent job. Best pricing I've seen. Great communication and detailed updates daily with pictures of my cats. Always comfortable knowing they are getting great care and attention while we're gone. Big thanks to your team!
I cannot recommend this pet care service. They were entrusted with the care of my beloved dog, but tragically, my dog died while in their care. This devastating experience has left me heartbroken and angry. I advise other pet owners to be extremely cautious and seek alternative options for pet care.
Amazing team that takes care of my cats often when i am traveling. They are super caring and always communicate perfectly!
I hired Paradise Pet Care to stop in and check on/feed my two cats while I was out of town over the holidays. Mira, the owner, was wonderfully communicative, professional, and the process was seamless. Kim, our sitter, did such a great job with the cats and sent pictures and updates each time she stopped by. I felt very at ease knowing they were being well taken care of! This was my first time hiring a company to help with pet care and I will absolutely use them again!
Paradise Pet Care is amazing! My husband works from home and so our dog is rarely alone for long periods of time. However, he was going out of town for a week, so we hired Paradise Pet Care for daily walks. Mira, the owner, was so helpful and responsive; Christina, our walker, was beyond amazing. Our dog, who can be a bit protective, loved her right off the bat. I loved the photo and text updates she sent everyday. It gave me such reassurance. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves there pets! Will definitely being using them again in the future. Thanks ladies!
My dog (and I) have been completely satisfied clients for two years and counting. Mira and her team have *ALWAYS* been graciously accommodating, professional and genuinely love what they do. This makes it extremely hard to choose anyone and anywhere else to care for my Prince. We both can't thank them all enough for continuing to deliver such phenomenal service even through challenging adversities!
My first time using a pet sitter ever for my new kitty Cookie - I was nervous! The owner Mira was super helpful every step of the way. Alex our sitter was amazing! She took great care of my baby and sent pics and updates everyday. Your fur babies will be in great care with these people!
Mira and her team at Paradise Pet Care are the best in San Diego County! Countless times Mira has watched over our dogs Tanner and Jack. She has always updated me with the cutest pictures from their walks or play time. Never have I seen such love and attention bestowed upon the animals they care for. You can be assured that Paradise Pet Care will treat your "kids" as you would yourself, heck, maybe even better!! No complaints whatsoever, these guys are awesome!
