Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!

Waggy Tails Pet Care is a great sitter, she did an amazing job taking care of my dog Ernie. I’ve used her several times now and she always does a great job. She keeps me up to date and even sends photos of my pup. I definitely recommend her to everyone and will book with her again whenever I need it. THANKS A LOT!
Roseanne looked in on my cat every day for over a week to ensure he was safe, had his meds, and was doing well after an operation. She sent updates each day whilst I was overseas so I could not only read about how he was, but also see a picture of him. I felt very safe in entrusting her with my pet and my house in my absence.
George was excellent with our dog Sebastian. We received videos and photos every day, and knew our dog was in good hands. While we were away, we would have normally been worried about our dog, as he is old and has a heart condition. However, we were confident with Waggy Tails Pet Care, and knew that our pet was receiving the best treatment while we were away.
Roxanne really cares about the dogs she watches. Our dog gets so excited as we approach Roxanne’s home, so we know she enjoys her visits. She is very accommodating with last minute requests, which we seem to have frequently. Our dog loves playing with her dog as well.
Binky loved her day at waggy Tails pet care. It is obvious that Roseanne loves dogs. She makes them comfortable and at ease and they seem very happy. She even got Binky trained in basic obedience training which was amazing. The best part is that she only takes a few dogs so they get individual care. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and using as my regular sitter!
Highly recommend Waggy Tails! I’ve been taking my pup to Roseanne for almost 3 years and never had a problem. Price is reasonable, and my dog is very fond of Roseanne. My dog is anxious and doesn’t warm up easily but Roseanne is really good at caring for pets so my dog warmed up quickly. She also sends pictures to keep me updated on how my pup is doing, without me asking. I will continue going to Roseanne for doggy day cares for years to come!
If I could give Waggy Tails pet care beyond Five Stars I would. Roseanne is amazing!! She is gentle, kind, and loving person. We spent the Holidays with Family and had to leave our boys with her. Not only did Roseanne give them a great home but also all the love and attention they needed. She kept us in informed, sent us pictures she is amazing. I have used Waggy Tails Pet Care in the past and will continue to do so because of the Trust and Love she offers. Thank You Roseanne for taking care of our furry children!!
We are happy with Roseanns care of our little dog. She offers affordable, in-home pet care for smaller dogs, and every time she watches our dog I feel safe and confident, knowing that she is with Roseanne service. When we pick our dog up, even after extended stays, our dog comes back happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Roseanne.
Rose is an amazing animal caretaker! She has years of experience and it shows. Rose is very professional, honest and full of love for all the animals. Rose not only was able to look after my pets on a super short notice (which made my unexpected trip out of town so much easier) she also went above and beyond to make sure they stayed on their routine. Her knowledge of animals and her demeanor with my fur babies is greatly appreciated. She was a great communicator and problem solver. I definitely felt at ease knowing she was looking after my pets. I highly recommend her as your go-to pet sitter if you are looking for someone consistent & reliable. She is the pet whisperer 😋
I recently had Roseanne watch my dog at her house for a couple days. She took great care of my dog. I appreciated the regular updates, which made me feel better about being away. She was also very flexible with scheduling the dropoff and pickup. Roseanne seems like a very caring and attentive person with pets.
I moved my 2/3 pug 1/3 pittie-boxer foster fail love bug (Juan Pablo) from Camp-Run-A-Mutt to Paw Commons for doggy daycare. Paw Commons has by far been the better experience for our pup. First, there is way more space, a great water feature where the dogs who want to get wet can frolic, and there are way fewer dogs (or simply just way more space for them). My pup stopped wanting to get out of the car at the former place where at Paw Commons, he is super excited to go and jumps happily out of the car when we arrive. This speaks volumes of the difference in experience he had. The humans at both places are professional and kind, it just seems like the dogs have a little more room to play, jump up on various things, hide under things and of course engage in water play if they want. 10/10. The owner of Paw Commons is very passionate about providing an amazing experience for the dogs. Perhaps something about being a franchise like Camp-Run-A-Mutt they need to get as many dogs as possible crammed in on any given day. Attached is a screenshot from the live cam where JP was walking precariously close to the water (which he generally hates, lol) and a pic of our very happy, tired boy when he got home.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Paw Commons Kearny Mesa. All of the staff and trainers were so patient and helpful with my anxious German Shepard and his stranger danger and reactivity. I boarded both my dogs together for 2 weeks and the staff sent me tons of pics and videos of my happy pups. I was super anxious and nervous about how my GS would act with strangers, but he did amazing, and every member of the staff I talked to made me feel super comfortable about leaving him. I’m so grateful for their care and attention to my pup’s individual needs, my heart could explode. Now I’ll be booking more trips knowing my fur babies will be well taken care of and super happy at PC. They also got bathed before I picked them up and they smell and look amazing. Thank you Paw Commons, you are a life saver for this reactive dog mama! <3
I absolutely LOVE this place. More so, because my dog loves it. She gets so excited when she sees where we’re going. They trained her for us for several weeks when we first got her, and the dog we got back was not the same dog we sent. She was better trained and easier to handle. We have used a better portion of the services offered at Paw Commons and intend for them to be a decent part of our dog’s life. The love the staff shows is second to none. They clearly love dogs here and it shows! I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. They’ve been a godsend to our family and we’re so grateful for them.
Love this place. They always take great care of our babe Nala and she loves going there. Loves to play with all her friends human and pups. They are so good at paying attention to when shes been too overstimulated. They take the necessary precautions for dogs to come in and be a part of the day care play time programs and keeping them safe. Love this place. Alexis is the best goes above and beyond! We love the report card with pictures updates while we are away.
The staff at Paw Commons are the greatest. My pup loves going to daycare and grooming. Training with Kayla has also been a amazing and hassle free has seen such Improvement in a short amount of time.
We have boarded our Westie, Winston, a number of times with Paw Commons. The staff is awesome! They really do keep an eye on the pups and if there are any issues they notify you and keep you up to date. It's nice to know that Winston is in a safe and fun environment while we are away. In particular, he loves being in the pond! They also have Muttcams so you can watch your dog in the play yard during the day. PC also has a great selection of healthy dog foods, treats, toys as well as grooming available on site. This is a great place to take your dog for a day of fun and play to burn off excess energy, or while you go on a vacation. Your dog will get lots of love, affection and attention. I highly recommend Paw Commons.
We LOVE Paw Commons at Kearny Mesa! We have two pups that need regular socialization, and the team at Paw Commons goes above and beyond with the care of our pups. We have boarded with them, and we are regulars for daycare. I never worry about the well being of my pups while they are there. Each pup is loved and tended to with special consideration given to their unique needs and personalities.
My dog Stella LOVES going to the Paw Commons Kearny Mesa location. All of the workers know her, have nicknames for her, and get excited when she walks in the door. She loves the pools at this location and I enjoy watching her splash around in them and romp with the other pups on their doggy cameras. Booking appointments is super easy and they have good packages and deals.
We are very thankful that Paw Commons provides a safe and fun place for our puppy dogs when we attend to our scheduled medical treatments. The dogs are happy campers and the staff is so good and understanding. We love that we have a trusting place to leave them.
Karena my dog’s trainer is amazing. She went above and beyond to help me sort out my dogs boarding and training. He came back so well behaved. He also knows to bring the ball back when we play fetch now. Absolute magic. It is nice to see the same staff there. The vibe is really comfortable. The groomers also did the best groom on my husky that she has ever had. Honestly I didn’t know you could do all they did for her since I usually wash her at home. I will definitely add a bath whenever I board my dog now. I also liked watching the cameras and report cards. I was showing all my friends and family. Thank you thank you thank you!
Great pet sitter! Kim was very kind, knowledgeable and she got back to me quickly after contacting me to care for my neurotic little cat a while back. She was very accommodating and friendly and handled my scared little kitty very well from the start. She took her time to get to know my kitty and has cared for her many times. I love the fact that she’s a vet tech and has experience. Now I can travel more for work and my cat is calm when boarding, eats when away from me and I get constant kitty updates from her & my cat is happy and content after her time there! Thank you for all your hard work with my girl Jazz.
Kim is UNREAL. I unfortunately had to be away from my cat for a month while I was moving and Kim went above and beyond for me. My cat Romeo was so happy there and she ensured the other pets in her care all got along splendidly. She sent me photo updates, constant communication, and I was able to visit my little guy as well. I’m so grateful for Kim and her full service work customized to you & your pets needs, she’s a dream come true for pet owners!
I was referred to walk in the park nearly a year ago. Have been super happy. We use them when we are out of town for a few days - our typical stay with them is 3 days, longest 10 days. Here is why I give 5 stars: My dog loves to see them and they are caring, clearly loves animals. The fact that she is a vet tech gives me comfort. Pricing is very fair. As one reviewer mentioned, if pet is going for a few days, I am flexible on return time, as is Walk In the Park Pet Care with me - sometimes I am running late and they are happy to accommodate, the reverse is true too. Most important is my dog absolutely loves them and is well cared for when staying over nights.
Best pet sitter we've experienced. Kim is detail oriented and genuine in her care for our dog. It takes a lot to trust someone with your furry family member and Kim has it all, I would highly recommend her.
Very professional pet sitter right from the start. Very knowledgeable, excellent communication skills, and sends me frequent updates with pictures on my dog's status! Very caring with both my dog and my home! We always come home to a clean house and a happy dog.
Extremely reliable and professional sitter. She is extremely responsive and has been able to support all of my short notice requests for sitting or walks. She goes out of her way to ensure your pet is well cared for and entertained during the day, even when the weather won't allow for outside play. Highly recommended!
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!
Cassie was great with our 13-year-old pup, especially for his first visit to Paw Commons. She was a great listener and our little guy easily walked with her to begin his spa day. Afterwards he was calm and looked awesome. We look forward to a monthly rhythm for his toenails and grooming needs, and we're confident he'll be happy to see her again. Here's before and after pics.
I been bringing my 3 Golden Retrievers for their Grooming by Cassie she has been amazing she has taken care of my oldest 14 year old boy Tucker who now has passed she was patient with him as he has was slow and his arthritis condition limit him on his standing. She gave my boy Tucker his final Groom and knew it was gonna be his last the compassion and love she shown him till the end. Cassie still Grooms my 7 year old female Bella since she was a puppy now we have our 18 month old English cream Maverick and Cassie has been nothing but amazing to my dogs and gives the best Grooming love to pur furbabies. I highly recommend her she does get booked out that speak for its self of how well people like her work and how great of a person she is. It only allows 5 stars but she deserves 10 stars. Below is my boy Maverick and Bella she even added pink ribbons bows on Bella ears
We have been bringing our pup here for years and will continue to do so for all the right reasons. 1- she loves going to camp for both day play and lodging. She’s excited when we leave the house and she’s eager to get in the door once we she realizes where we are. 2- they take such good care of her! She gets lots of love and attention from all the staff. When she’s been slightly ill while there, they are specially attentive and have taken such good care of her 3- she loves all the staff but is specially appreciative of Seth! 4- they always go above and beyond in making sure our girl is well cared for while we are away. 5- they send daily report cards letting us know how she’s doing while we are away!
I love Paw Common’s Hillcrest. They have shown my little pup so much love over the past year I have brought her to daycare. I am so grateful for being able to peace of mind while I’m at work, knowing that Dolly is having fun and loved on! Xoxo
Brought my anxious and sometimes reactive dog in to cut his nails, and Cassie was just amazing!! So sweet with him, and I got to watch through the glass. Worth every penny and will definitely be back!! He won’t really let me touch his feet but he behaved so well for her with no muzzle!! She was so great and gave him lots of nuzzles a kisses to keep him calm.
I found Paw Commons through a friend who takes her dog there and I’ve never gone to another doggie daycare since. Bella has been going to daycare and boarding here for over a year now and it’s the best place we’ve found throughout all our time living on both the east and west coast! Every time we enter the building, my girl gets sooo excited when she sees the staff members! Everyone is so friendly and cares for your pet like their own and I always feel comfortable knowing she is taken care of while I’m away. We love paw commons!!
Paw Commons is our first choice for boarding our fur baby, Z. It’s her normal day care and she loves it and more importantly the team is amazing. These are people that love dogs and treat them like they are their own. They provide report cards during your pup’s stay and you’re also free to call and check in if you can’t wait for the report card. Super accommodating. Highly recommend.
We have being blessed since we started bringing our dog to Paw Commons. The whole team is well engaged and prepared. Mrs Mary welcomed us since the first day and often share videos and photos of our fur baby. It’s brightens my day. But you can also check their camera. I honestly could not feel more at peace knowing when my dog is not with me, she is there having lots of fun. Their grooming service is also premium but I recommend booking in advance. Have to highlight the cleanliness of their facility. Well kept and also they offer couple options of toys and treats. They have a convenient parking.
Love this place!!! I live downtown but picked this business because they are outdoors/covered patio while the places closer to me are 100% indoors. We just had our first visit (evaluation) Mary and the other staff members were kind and absolutely lovely with my dog, Louie. The facilities are clean and well staffed- I’m sure Louie is looking forward to her next visit so she can run around with her new dog friends. Thanks, Paw Commons for all your kindness and care ❤️
The Paw Commons Team has done a fantastic job of taking care of our beloved pups over the past 1+ years. They greet both us paw-rents and labradors with a warm smile, extra-pets, and they always leave us reassured we’ve made the right decision entrusting our pets to a well equipped team with the knowledge and empathy it takes to be a leader in the pet daycare & boarding space. Thank you to the team and keep up the great positive attitudes. It makes a difference!
Christine from Have a Ball Pet Sitting exceeded my expectations during a last-minute work trip. Her caring and attentive nature towards my dog truly set her services apart. Despite the short notice, Christine displayed remarkable reliability and commitment. She ensured my furry companion not only received proper care but also showered him with affection. I appreciated the detailed updates she provided, which included feeding schedules, playtime activities, and even adorable pictures. Christine's professionalism and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional choice for anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend Have a Ball Pet Sitting, especially if you want your pet to be in the best hands possible.
My husband and I have used Have A Ball Pet Sitting and Dog Walking many times throughout the years. Christine is always fabulous and sets us up with walkers we feel comfortable with, which is my biggest concern. I feel better know my fur babies are well cared for and I recieve updates. Her walkers are licensed and insured which I appreciate and love that we meet prior to the first walk.
LOVED my experience with Christine. She is super personable and set me up with a wonderful dog walker. Roger is the best. I can definitely tell when my dog goes for a walk because she’s much more relaxed in the evening. Thanks for all you guys do! Adding a picture of my lovely Shiva!
I have had a great experience with Have a Ball Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. Christine was prompt in her response time and provided me with an excellent dog walker. The entire process has been easy. I highly recommend supporting this small business.
I definitely recommend Have A Ball Pet Sitting & Dog Walking. Christine is the best and my fur babies love her.
I have two golden retrievers that are very special to our family. Leaving them when we go on vacation has been easy since we started using Have a Ball Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, it really brings great relief knowing that our pups will be in great care, safe and spoiled with love.
My niece recommended Christine’s service, and we are so glad she did. Christine is kind hearted and professional. Woof !
You will be hard pressed to find dog care with more integrity than Christine. Christine is extremely detail-oriented, loving, punctual, and overall trustworthy- we certainly trust her with our two fur kids' lives! Our dogs love her as well; in fact, since we live in the same neighborhood, one of our dogs gets super excited when she sees Christine's car driving down the street! She will care for your animals as if they were her own, as she has done with ours.
Have a Ball Pet Sitting & Dog Walking is an excellent pet sitting company offering service that goes above and beyond. Christine was our pet sitter and my partner and I were very impressed with her services. Being new to San Diego, we didn't know many people we could ask to watch our dogs. Initially, we were very nervous about having someone we didn't know stay in our home and trust them to care for our babies. As soon as we met Christine we felt a lot better. She just has that professional manner that made us feel very comfortable. She came to meet with us and had all the credentials she mentions on her website. It made us feel more at ease when we knew she had been background checked and had all the proper certifications. She was very down-to-earth, caring and understanding. She is also easy to communicate with and to just deal with, in general. We've used her services a few times and everything always runs like clockwork. When we get home our dogs are always happy and healthy and our home is well taken care of. We can't recommend Have a Ball more. We are very grateful to have found them.
I recently decided to hire a dog walker for a few days a week when I worked late. My dogs were so happy on the days that Christine walked them that I upgraded to everyday walks while I'm at work. My pups are so much calmer when I get home and I don't feel as guilty leaving them. Christine is really easy going and a great dog walker - my pups love her. As the business owner she's also always professional and always has a backup so I am never left high and dry if one of them is sick (something I have experienced with another dog walking service). I can't recommend them more!
Wag Hotel exceeded all my expectations for boarding my Frenchie. First off, the staff is incredible—they’re clearly happy to be there, and that made all the difference. My Frenchie stayed for 10 days while I was working in Miami, and since I usually travel with him, leaving him for so long was tough. Thankfully, the webcam was a lifesaver; I could check in on him anytime and see if he was eating and when. The “hotel schedule” they provide is great for keeping track of what he’s up to throughout the day. I was worried he might not eat much during the first few days as he adjusted, so I requested they give him breakfast and dinner. To my surprise, they went above and beyond by offering him lunch and a treat to encourage him to eat during the midday. It felt like they were treating him just as I would, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. I kept the webcam on even during my flight back, and it was so reassuring to see how gentle they were with him. They even took the time to refluff and remake his bed during housekeeping. They allowed me to leave him with a blanket that smelled like me to help with his anxiety, which was such a thoughtful touch. I also took one of his toys along for the same reason, and it was comforting to know they were taking care of him just the way I would. One of the best parts of Wag Hotel was their attention to detail with his feeding. I add salmon oil and supplements to his breakfast, and they had no problem accommodating that. Next time, I plan to sign him up for all-day play every other day so he can socialize more without getting too exhausted. The pictures they send three times a day are incredibly comforting—I could even tell from them that he made a Frenchie friend! They noted that he was getting plenty of pets and cuddles from the staff, and they even played fetch with him. It was a 100/10 experience. If you’re as protective of your dog as I am, Wag Hotel is the place you need. My only small wish is that they had cameras for the play breaks, but that’s why I’ll opt for all-day play next time. This experience was flawless, and I couldn’t recommend them more. The 24/7 drop off and pick up was also so comforting. Now if I want to go out for the night such as a concert I can drop him off and pick him any time !
Staff and facility was excellent! I was nervous leaving my pups for the first time but being able to see them on the webcam set my mind at ease. I called twice to check on them and both times staff answered the phone and gave me an update. They also sent adorable pictures of them while at play. worth every penny. I will be checking them in again in the future!!
I cannot say enough good things about Wag hotel. From the moment I walked in, I could tell they genuinely care about the dogs in their care. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed with safety and fun in mind. The staff is incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They took the time to understand my dog’s personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. My dog comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed every time, which speaks volumes about the level of care and engagement she receives throughout the day. What really sets wag hotel apart is their communication. They provide photos, and notes about my dog’s day, which is so reassuring. It’s clear they go above and beyond to create a positive environment for both pets and their owners. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and outstanding daycare for your dog, I highly recommend wag hotel. They treat your pet like family, and it shows!
My husband and I loved the Wag hotel for our pups. Their facility was really nice, but what really stood out to me was their communication. I'm not going to lie, this was the first time leaving our dogs with someone who wasn't close friends or family and I had such a hard time leaving them there (my husband was at work, but was able to talk on the phone and listen to me sob). We received daily pictures of our dogs and we really liked having access to their playtime, it really gave us a sense of peace and security. When we picked them up, the staff read to us the dogs' report cards on their stay. The whole process was easy to book and we really appreciate the first responder discount that Wag provides, as my husband and I are both first responders. We will definitely book again :)
I recently had to find reliable care for a 10-day stay, the first time for my pup. I researched several options, including at home care, traditional daycare boarding with overnight options, stay at a private home, and other boarding programs. Some of those options included just putting my dog in a room (with no human supervision overnight!) and risks of my dog running out into the street for some of the in-home options. I had never really thought about a pet hotel, but I did all my research and finally decided to try Wag Hotel after the free trial for daycare. I got regular reports, my pup ate ALL of her food and they handled her medications. I was so afraid my pup would be traumatized being away from home, but pick up day was great with no stress and my pup was happy to go back for shorter visits afterwards. The place is clean and the dogs are happy when they come out in the lobby. I booked a one night holiday day again recently and same result. Our pup was very well cared for and chill. I will definitely use Wag Hotel again and highly recommend it. PS I have tried in-home pet care, daycare that offer overnight, and a 24 Hour place. So I’m talking from experience and I will definitely not try anything other than Wag in the future. I’m not a professional reviewer and have no affiliation with the company. I was just very impressed.
I have been bringing my dogs to Wag Hotels for the last 8 years and been super happy with the attentive care they receive. They have always gone above and beyond treating my dogs like their own. Great communication from the staff which I appreciate and always an enthusiastic welcome. I love that they set boundaries if my guy gets too rambunctious. I credit the staff for helping him be a better socialized dog. Thank you Wag Hotels SD staff for continued excellent care of my dogs!
The team at Wag took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We checked in on them through the video feed and watched them play. Facilities were clean and safe. Dogs had fun and were so tired when we picked them up
Good packages for options. Brought my dog here for 2 days in their boarding hotel area. I wish the cameras worked better when you want to watch your dog. People were nice and it seemed clean and good as an option for what it is.
I wanted to give a good review…but…my dogs were at the San Diego Wag Hotel for two weeks. I got photos of them but it was more like proof of life hostage pictures. My sister paid about 1/2 the price and gets magazine quality photos and her dogs got to go on the “spooky trail” her place arranged for them. Also, my dogs were supposed to get a complimentary bath, but instead they were returned with dried poo on their booties and shoulder and smelling like pee. When I called. I was told that they had a bath on pick up day. This was absolutely untrue as the poo was like cement on their backsides. This makes me think they were not properly looked after at all. HOW LONG DID THEY HAVE TO SIT IN THIER OWN POO?? Is this acceptable there? I wouldn’t let any animal walk around like that. Management was supposed to call me but, no surprise, they didn’t bother to do that either.
This is our fourth time boarding with Wags Hotel in Mission Valley and they are great. The staff are all passionate and friendly with pets. They send us pictures of our pets having a good time and our dogs actually get excited when we pull in to the parking lot to drop them off. It really leaves us peace of mind knowing our family pets are in good hands. We look forward to boarding with them again when the need arrives.
We love Bruce so much! Charlie has THE best time while staying at Bruce's. Bruce is an amazing dogsitter who knows each dog's personality and adores spending time with your fur babies! When Charlie stays with Bruce, I can fully rely on Bruce taking care of my baby boi the same way I would. Having Bruce as our dog sitter is a huge relief knowing that Charlie is also vacationing while we are out of town and can't bring him with.
Bruce is so caring and reliable… I can always count on him to take good care of my 19 year old Mimi whenever I am away. I feel lucky to have him as my cat sitter! He truly cares!
I am so glad that we found Bruce! It was wonderful to have our dog stay in a home as opposed to a typical dog boarding location where our dog would spend the majority of the time in a crate. Bruce also sent pictures and updates during the stay. Bruce was attentive and kind, we look forward to using his boarding again in the future.
My dog used to have so much anxiety about boarding…but when she sees we’re pulling up in front of Bruce’s she gets so excited. Bruce is reliable and has been able to take her on short notice more than once. Can’t recommend him highly enough!
Bruce is a wonderful pet sitter. I have used his services for over 10 years. He is reliable, responsible, caring and knowledgeable. My cats love Bruce too.
I only trust my Cavachon with Bruce! She loves him and he loves her! It's so nice to be able to go on vacation or a work trip knowing your fur baby is in a caring home!
Caring and sensitivity beyond expectations. Excellent caregiver
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!
I can’t tell you how much we love Sari! She is so sweet and loving to our girls (two dogs and a cat) and we feel very safe leaving them in her care. She even brings them toys whenever we go on a trip. Our pets are so much happier being able to stay at home when we travel instead of being boarded. Every time we travel, we always make sure Sari is available before we book flights; there’s no one I trust more with our pets’ safety and well being.
We have seen Sari the Owner of MVPSS many times over the last few years walking other local residents Dogs in the neighborhood and was laways very impressed with her thorough and very detailed and careful approach to handling her clients dogs. We finally found an opportunity to hire her for 3 days to take care of our 10 year old Sheltie Max. We had never been seperated from him for almost 3 1/2 years so we were fairly hesistant to say the least is trusting anyone to care for him. Sari came over a few days before we left and spent a considerable amount of time taking very detailed notes on Max's behavioral traits and personality. She emailed us every day after every visit with him to let us know how he was doing, so we would not worry about him and when we returned she had left very detailed notes about all of her visits as well. We have no reservations at all in saying she runs the most professional Pet Sitting Service and deserves all the awards & recognition her business has received. She is a total professional and absolutely loves and has a passion for the animals she is entrusted to care for....Resonable Rates with a 5 Star Experience!!!
Mission Valley Pet Sitting is EXCELLENT. I learned this when they were booked and I had to find a different service. They go out of their way to earn your trust where others expect it’s easy for you to turn over your keys to a stranger. They took the time to verify all of their credentials and insurance beforehand. Sari and her staff are clearly animal lovers. My kitty is very skittish and they also made sure to find out exactly what works with her. Katherine seems to be able to pull her out of her shell where with other sitters she just hid the whole time. Katherine and Sari give detailed reports of each visit and send lots of pictures, all of which make me feel super comfortable with the care my kitty is getting while I’m gone (not to mention having strangers in my home!). I highly recommend their caring, conscientious services to anyone, especially if you’re skeptical about hiring pet sitters.
The owner, Sari, is absolutely wonderful and I wish she had been the one to be our designated dog walker. Jenna was assigned to our dog and we never had reason to believe that she wasn't doing a wonderful job until I saw her interact with our dog via a doggy camera. We've had the camera for over 2 months and never used it to check in on Jenna because we trusted her. Recently though, I was on break at work and wanted to check in on our dog since he was on a new medication and I wanted to see how he was doing. Jenna happened to walk through the doors a few minutes in and I was heartbroken to see what unfolded. Jenna entered the house and walked right past our dog. Never petting him once. She was there for a 30 minute visit to walk and feed our dog. She was outside with him for only 5 minutes and as soon as they got back inside, she walked right past our dog again to plop herself down on our couch where she stayed for the next 15+ minutes, glued to her phone and making herself way too comfortable. Not once looking over to our dog or to pet him or play with him. A few minutes before the 30 minutes were up, she put down his food, wrote her update, and left (again without petting our dog). Her note stated that our dog didn't eat while she was there and that "he did great!" Well it'd be pretty hard for any pet to eat their dinner while you're there if you don't give it to them until right before you leave! And was he so great because he just laid there and didn't demand attention? Allowing you to just lay there, doing whatever you want? I was so shocked to see this interaction. Jenna has been our dog walker for well over a year and I hope that this isn't how the majority of the visits went. Her completely ignoring our dog. Not ONCE did I see her pet him during the entire 30 minutes. I'd like to believe that this was a one time occurrence, but based on her body language and demeanor, this appeared to be her routine when coming to our house. I only gave the 3 stars because of Sari, the owner of the company. If Jenna is assigned to your pet, beware. Your pet might not receive the care they deserve! Jenna was always very flexible with scheduling which was a plus, but now I can't help but wonder if she was so lax because she took advantage of the time with our dog and viewed him as an "easy" visit. She certainly didn't put any energy into the visit I witnessed.
My aunt broke her hip and we live 125 miles from her so we hiredMVPS to provide daily care while my aunt recoperated in the hospital. I have been so impressed with how caring they are..always looking for solutions to make things better for the cat..I highly recommend their services
Sari has met all my expectations in the care of my cat. I have piece of mind when I have to leave my fury friend behind for a few days.
Our dog loves going to daycare and boarding here! She has separation anxiety so having a reliable and professional daycare has made a huge difference for her and us. The cage free boarding is a good fit for her and she enjoys the other dogs (from what I see in the photos)
My family want on a VK to San Diego for a couple of days. Saturday was our time we be busy. I was worried about leaving my pup pup in the hotel room. So I look up at daycare for dogs and they were the first to come up. It's was his very first time my dog 🐕 try out a daycare. I was worried about him being in a new place that he never try before. I call when they open told me they take him with no problem. Especially on a Saturday. And they have a Dog Cam Live to how they doing and when I saw he was having so much fun I felt so happy and relieved just a happy dog mommy. Pick him up, so tired from all the play play and making new friends he made. The woman I talk to on the phone was sweet and nice, felt good energy from her. When I got there were so nice and friendly and welcoming. I would 100% bring my pup pup here again
This place is totally amazing. They take such great care of my baby doggie😊 They always do special activities, and they take holiday pictures of your babies, dressed in appropriate holiday attire! My dog loves it so much when he gets to stay & play here. No other facility I have ever used comes close to providing this kind of safe, loving, fun environment for your fur baby! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We have been coming here for a few months, and as a family who travels often our doggy has visited her share of doggy daycares. Staff and service here @ canines unleashed set themselves apart. During drop off and pick up you are greeted at your car with a smile, genuine greeting and staff to aide in getting you inside while taking that pressure off you with other dogs coming and going on leash. I love that they have cameras to check on my pet while she is there. The bath add on option is wonderful for us with our lab who gets into everything. Staff is very interactive with the pets, playing with, petting, and throwing tennis balls. The automatic refill bowls are clutch for our water loving dog. The hours and packages are great, and supporting a local small business with military roots makes it all the better. Matt, Khyu and the rest of staff we really appreciate the love and attention you give our chocolate girl.
Amazing doggie daycare! They take such good care of the pups! Our Josie loved coming here. She would jump out of the car and sprint into the facility. They are so loving and kind. She was absolutely spoiled! I highly recommend Canines Unleashed!
I love that the dogs get to play off leash while they’re here, and my dog comes home happy. They have cameras where you can see the dogs (with one blind spot). The staff is great and always friendly and helpful. The only thing I don’t love is that my dog comes home stinky. I think it’s just from all the dog slobber from playing, and maybe from occasionally stepping in a pee puddle before the staff has the chance to clean it. Overall, this is a great place to take your dog for daycare or boarding.
I really love this place!!! I was nervous to bring my 4.5 month puppy to daycare when I had to go back to work, but so happy that I found one that I can trust. The employees are super friendly and caring towards my pup, and I can tell he really loves going here. It's very clean inside and smells SO much better than a few other daycares I visited. I love the cameras too - a few times that I've turned it on, I've seen the staff hugging and kissing my dog:) Makes me feel really good that he's cared for like that. It really feels like a family owned business and doesn't have that big corporate feel which is nice. Another plus: they offer a military discount and $9 bath!
Our dog gets so excited when it's time for daycare. The team takes great care of her and she can even get a bath while there! We love checking in on the Doggie Cam and especially appreciate the team's genuine friendliness.
We just love Canine’s Unleashed! We use them for both daycare and boarding over the last couple of years and have never had any issues. Our pup plays all day and loves all of the workers there. Highly recommend!
This place is FANTASTIC!! Friendly staff, will typically meet you in the parking lot. VERY patient with animals. The online cams are awesome for watching what your pets are doing. My two spent a week here, price was very reasonable. Will definitely board them here again!
