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.

Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

Jolynn and Rich have been giving exceptional care to my dogs since 2008. They have faithfully walked, played with, stayed with overnight, and loved my dogs for 15 years! I recommend them to you without hesitation--they are trustworthy, kind, and the best people to give daily or overnight care. Call and entrust them with your furry friends--you will be glad you did!
Circle of Friends Pet Sitters has always provided my dogs with excellent, loving care—and this gave me peace of mind whenever I was gone. If I had to contact them for dog care outside of my regular schedule, they worked hard to accommodate my request. I value their services and unhesitatingly recommend them.
Circle of friends has been our go to for taking care of our cats for the last 10 years. Gino, Alley and Jake have been well cared for when we were away.
FURRY FAMILY CARE is an awesome dog walking / dog care service I My two high energy four year old Australian Shepards ‘jump for joy’ when Tracy arrives at my home to take them for an hour walk. If I go away from home for a night or two , Tracy and Chris are available to schedule an overnight for Apache and Cheyenne which can include a visit to a professional groomer , two dog walks and provide accommodations for sleeping at their Oceanside home. They custom the dog activities upon the owner request. I found Furry Family Care on Goggle a couple months ago; Tracy and Chris provide me a much needed dog walking service. Most weeks they walk the dogs three times a week. Many days Tracy comes alone and walks both dogs. She likes to play ball with them and engage them in stimulating activities. Tracy and Chris are extremely warm hearted friendly, dependable and congenial.
My two dogs absolutely love going here! They’re always so excited to see everyone and it puts me at ease knowing my pups are in such a caring, loving environment while I’m away. They will send pictures and texts throughout the day, and I also know that I can reach out at anytime for any other updates. They’re so understanding and are more than willing to work with your budget and I’m so beyond grateful and thankful that I found Furry FAMILY CARE.
She was able to take my 70lb American bulldog that has anxiety and a dog aggression for 2 weeks with no issues. I was sent pictures most every day while she was on walks. My roommate picked her up and said she was happy, healthy and indifferent about returning home with him. That’s always the sign of a good sitter.
For over 10 years Furry Family Care has been caring for pets. Their home or yours, with the love and care you have for your furry family. Reasonable, affordable rates, they make it work for everyone.
They're great, they're reasonable, reliable and they'll love your kitties and doggies just like their own
I absolutely love Pacific Pet Resort and Specialty Dog Training.... everyone there is wonderful with our babies, and I have some difficult dogs. They are patient and understanding. I left my border collie heeler mix with them for boot camp training and everything was awesome. My Corgi loves to stay and they give him so much attention. This is the only place I trust with my babies for boarding and training.
I boarded my 2 dogs at Oceanside Pet hotel recently. I was so happy that when the dogs were brought out to me they were happy and excited. Other places I have attempted to leave my dogs they were not so happy. I called throughout my vacation to make sure the dogs were doing okay and every time I called I got a great report. The staff loved my dogs. I was a new customer and received a discount for both dogs to board which was great. There was some miscommunication but the manager took care of the issue without batting an eye. The service was great and the staff was very helpful and caring. When I toured the facility it was very clean and safe. The staff listened closely to my requests for my dogs stay. I would definitely recommend the Oceanside Pet hotel for anyone who needs to board their dogs.
I have taken my dog here in the past and we needed to drop him off for the day. I had my wife call in ahead of time. They said that we just needed an updated shot record for our boy. No problem. She emailed it to them. They also had record of him being there when she called cause he has been there previously quite a bit. When I get there, immediately the girl who was working there had what I would call an attitude. She asked for his updated records which I knew they probably would need so I had it ready on my phone email because they probably hadn't checked their email, and no offense but the girl working the front looked like she wouldn't know what a power button would look like, much less be able to work an email inbox. After giving over my phone, showing her the slip that showed the updated shots, she proceeds to tell me that she can't find a record of him ever being here, also that they have a new policy about breeds and she wouldn't be able to let my dog play in a group. My dog can have been left at home alone. That's not the point of dog day care. My dog is a 40 lbs terrier mix, the friendliest animal that I have ever owned. Loves people almost as much as he loves ALL dogs and babies. I would NOT recommend you taking your animal here.
Our bullmastiff was at another place but for some reason it just didn't work out and thank goodness I found this place. Immediately took our dog here and she loves it. They take all breeds and they understand big dogs, they train them and love on them and when my dog gets home she is exhausted and she loves that place as well, staff is wonderful and they make you feel like your family and treat your dog like they're their own!!! So grateful to all the staff at Pacific Pet Resort!!!! Annie loves this place!!!!!!
I've had (Manu) my Pit/Mastiff here since he was about 4 months he turned 2yrs on Nov 1st (today) and these guys run this place with very high standards by the way they handle the dogs to how clean they keep this place inside and out! They have the utmost professionalism I've seen which means a lot to me as a retired Marine. I can always see the love they have for not just my dog but every dog/cat that comes through here! Larry and the rest of the staff do a superb job on a daily basis! Highly recommend!!!!
My dogs were there for boot camp originally. They were trained by Perry and he did a great job. My concerns were they were exhausted and had lost several pounds. I understood the exhaustion. They worked with them diligently to get them where they needed to be in the time we agreed on. We were informed on a regular basis of their progress and health. At the end of June they were boarded a week with follow up training. No follow up info was given like before and they lost the weight they had gained. We picked up our dogs and one was sluggish and "coughing". We took him to the vet, he had kennel cough, beginnings of pneumonia, and fecal toxemia. My vet said it was due to the kennel not thoroughly being cleaned. After speaking to Nikki, the manager, she told me they would do a thorough cleaning and they had checked the dog several times a day...but I don't believe this was the case this time. I appreciate the hard work in training my dogs and keeping them for a month, but I won't be using their services again. I've spent close to $500 and 3 wks caring for a very sick dog because of their facility not being properly maintained.
We continue to have an excellent experience at the Oceanside Pet Hotel! Our Pomeranian, Lily is always greeted with excitement and joy when she comes into the reception area. The facility is clean, everyone is friendly and pickup and drop-off is a breeze! We highly recommend the doggy day care, especially since our dog is always eager to go back.
The facility and staff were great. My only hesitation to taking my pup back is the sad reality of the resorts neighbors, the humane society. The whimpers, barking and crying that came from nextdoor made my pops anxiety rise a bit. We will try it once more in the near future as his anxiety could have been from being at daycare for the first time.
I absolutely do not recommend this facility to anyone for boarding. I have to say they did a great job of convincing me that boarding my baby there was a good idea but that was not the case at all. I've boarded him elsewhere before with absolutely no issues. Everything leading up to his stay went fine. I visited the facility a couple times, had all my questions answered, got a tour of the facility showing me the nice long indoor/outdoor kennel he would be in, and I even brought him in the day before we left for daycare so he could get to know them and vice versa. Everything seemed great and I felt confident in trusting them with my baby, I thought it was going to go so well. However, my experience at Pacific Pet Resort was so much the opposite that my friend had to pick my dog up TWO DAYS EARLY because of how bad it was. We dropped him off on Friday morning and gave them his food and they assured me everything would be great. I called later that day to check up and was told everything was going fine, and called again the next day in the morning and again was told everything was fine. A few hours later I get a call from one of the managers saying my dog is showing food aggression and they think it's best he be taken home. It isn't until now that they tell me he hasn't eaten either of the meals they fed him, he just tried to hide it and then showed some aggression when they took it away and is now not letting any of them handle him at all. At this point I'm so confused and worried about my baby because he has NEVER acted this way before. But I didn't think too much of it at this point because they were so nice on the phone I believed they were genuinely concerned for the well-being of my dog and not their own convenience. Regardless I'm so upset because I could only imagine how scared and insecure he had to feel to act this way, and I felt helpless as I was out of state and couldn't get back to him. They insisted that it would be best for him to go home so I had my friend pick him up. My friend told me she did not trust the way they treat the animals in their care. The kennel attendant that took her back was thanking her over and over again for coming to take him away, didn't say a single positive thing about by dog except the fact that he was leaving, and she could hear workers in the background telling the dogs to shut up because they were barking. Then, when they got to my dogs kennel she said it was WAY smaller than the ones they showed me. Then she said my baby was shaking so bad and so visibly stressed out that she knew something wasn't right, she said she'd never seen a German Shepherd shake like that. THEN (and this is the part that made my blood boil) she said the second the guy put his hand on the latch my poor baby PEED himself because he was so scared. My dog has NEVER EVER done that before so I knew right then that something really was wrong. After seeing that she demanded that he let her in the kennel and he questioned her like he was concerned my dog would attack her or something even though Duke recognized her by now was was jumping up on the gate and licking at it because he wanted to see her. She just grabbed the latch and opened in and she said he immediately was so happy she was there. Then they gave her a slip leash, which they were informed to use with caution because he HATES those, and she even brought up that I told them that and the guy just said "I don't know, maybe" well excuse me but isn't it your job to know that?! And on top of that they wouldn't have given his collar, leash, and harness back if she hadn't asked about it. When she asked the guy said "oh do you want those?" OF COURSE. Why would she not? And they didn't give any of the three days worth of food back, claiming there wasn't any left even though he'd only need there one day and hadn't eaten anything as I was told. Overall I was not pleased with my experience at all. The office staff is very nice but the staff that handles the animals directly seems incompetent and inexperienced and I will never be going back.
They have great hours for drop off (0630) and pick up (7pm). The staff is nice. My dog seems to love it here for day care. He comes home tired in a great way.
I've had the pleasure of working with Emily of My Spoiled Pet and have seen and learned so much from her. She cares for all animals from slithery creepy crawlers to furry fluffy critters. Below are some attributes about her stellar pet sitting and dog walking capabilities: A. Strong Work Ethic 1. Loves each pet as her own 2. Passionate about what she does 3. Communicates very professionally and in a timely manner (within minutes of a request) 4. Very sweet and kind hearted 5. Goes above and beyond for each of her clients and treats them like family B. Knowledge 1. Nutrition savvy for each pet's needs 2. Very confident in administering medication 3. Pet CPR certified 4. Fully insured for peace of mind 5. Works with rescue agencies to help find homes for sheltered dogs (the biggest heart) Emily is mega trustworthy and more than worth reaching out to for a free meet and greet with your lovely pet(s). She will definitely spoil them with love and cuddles!
I found My Spoiled Pet while searching Yelp and thank goodness I did. I called to inquire about their dog walking services and Emily was very professional, friendly and excited to meet my dog. I called several other dog walkers and they seem reluctant to walk my Rottweiler and disorganized. Emily gave me many excellent references to call and I like that she is licensed and insured, just in case there is an incident while walking my Rottweiler. After walking my dog and Lee sent me photos of their walk and made sure I knew everything was going smoothly. That is what really sealed the deal for me I will be using my special pet for all my dog walking services from now on thank you Emily!
I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Emily and her service. I am so glad I found her over a year ago. Trust me when it comes to my pet ChiChi I don’t throw five stars around easily. Emily exceeded every expectation! She is kind, knowledgeable, confident, nutrition savvy for pet’s needs and passionate about what she does. You can really see that she loves animals. I am a world traveler and need a sitter often. She is so incredibly flexible that she will even come and stay at our timeshare. I never worry about my baby because I know he’s with someone that is truly reliable and trustworthy! I highly recommend Emily!
Emily is very loving and responsible. She was great with both my dog and cat. Her passion for all animals is evident in her attention to details, photos, and videos she sends. Emily clearly loves what she does and I highly recommend her. I trust her with my furry kiddos, and I know they are happy and well cared for! My Spoiled Pet is the way to go for pet sitting and dog walking hands down!
Emily is hands down the best pet sitter! She really has a way with animals. Some of our cats have trust issues especially around new people and she won over the whole herd. It brings such peace of mind getting the videos and pictures and seeing our kids be so well taken care of. She navigates the raw feeding, giving meds and supplements, feeding the tortoise, and loving on all of them with ease! I recommend her to anyone with pets!
We just got our fur baby last March, and this was our first time trying professional dog walking & pet care service.. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Emily & the wonderful service she provides. Emily is very professional, genuine & friendly. I immediately felt at ease with the whole process of inviting someone I just met to come into my house and care for our pet. It is clear how much Emily cares about animals, and she treats all animals in her care like they're her own! We were so excited also to receive video and photo messages of our doggie during playtime and walks too! Emily really is the best, I highly recommend!! ❤️
Emily is simply the best. We have 7 cats between 4 months old and 17 years old, all of which eat a raw diet, plus a desert tortoise, and Emily somehow has managed to befriend the whole herd and keep symmetry in our home while we're away. She takes the time to get to know each and every member of the family and earn their trust. She's a true cat whisperer. My wife and I are both pet industry professionals, and Emily is world class when it comes to handling animals. She can even hand feed one of our formerly feral cats that even I can not handle. Simply amazing.
Emily is truly an animal lover and the best caregiver for our fur babies. I’m thrilled to have her write in our neighborhood available to walk our two pups when we are at work or have a last-minute emergency that keeps us out of the house . It puts my mind at ease to have Emily there and she’s so dependable, communicative and sends video updates and photos on every visit which the whole family enjoys!
Emily is so caring and patient. It’s hard for me and I’m sure anyone to trust someone else with their dog but she made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby. My dog (Marley) who is scared and skeptical of most people also loved her which was the best part for me. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services. I’m so happy i found someone who takes care of her like I would and Marley feels safe with someone when I’m not around.
Emily is amazing! I’m always traveling for work, most times it’s last minute, and having someone you can depend on and trust with my dog makes each trip so much easier. She is always on it with updates, photos and videos of my dog. She’s the best and would recommend her to anyone! She’s someone you can trust with your pet!
I don't know where to even begin with this review - nothing I say will do it justice! My husband and I absolutely LOVE Giddy Up Pup! We adopted our Nina girl a little more than two months ago and we wanted to integrate her with other dogs as soon as possible - start socializing and learning healthy behaviors. Additionally, we have opposite schedules in our house so someone is always waking up or going to sleep - not the best environment for a puppy with energy! A few neighbors in our complex recommended Giddy Up Pup and I thought it would be a great way to socialize yet still be familiar with dogs we see on the day to day walks. I read the reviews about other day cares in the area with hundreds of 5 star reviews but I will always choose a small business over the bigger dogs (pun intended), a bigger bonus was that it is female owned! On our first day with the temperament test, it must have been 20 minutes or so when I got my first text message saying our girl was doing fantastic! From that day forward, I have relied on the owners and staff with being the BEST possible source of support with our puppy. I know that when our Nina is with anyone at Giddy Up Pup that she is safe, well taken care of, adored, happy, and has her bests interests in mind. They truly go above and beyond any expectations someone could have for a day care. The relief of knowing that "she will have to spend all day in the cage or all by herself," doesn't exist in our world!! In keeping with the times of the new doggy virus going around, I talked to our vet about the continuation and risks of day care. The vet said, "let the dog live and send her to day care if that makes her happy! The rates of sickness in our area of California are so small in comparison to other states that even the dogs who do get sick are able to completely recover." It's hard to argue with that! To come to a close on my rant, we love everyone who loves and takes care of our girl - so we love everyone at Giddy Up Pup! It has been the EASIEST and BEST decision.
Today was our first day, and definitely not our last. Besides my girl BiBi looking, and feeling great, the communication is key for me, it was simple and efficient. My husband said upon picking Bibi up from Giddy up, she was so happy, that's says so much to us. The cut I asked for Bibi was dead on, and my husband was giving the instructions 😁. She is still a pup, and we like Giddy up so much, we will use there day care in the future to help assist in her socializing. Thanks guys, she looks and smells amazing 😍👍🏾.
The BEST place to drop our boy Bhodi off at! He’s always so well looked after and comes home happy as ever and ready to crash! We’re always updated with photos and videos throughout his stay and we always feel so at ease dropping him off at Giddy Up Pup! The team here do a fantastic job at what they do and we’re so glad we found them!
My husband and I are so happy with Giddy Up Pup. We have a monthly membership for our two dogs, who we bring there almost every day. Their staff is super friendly and helpful, I can tell they really care for our dogs, and our dogs are always SO excited to see them. They are efficient, well organized, and extremely reasonably priced compared to comparable services in the area. And on top of it all, I’m always blown away by all the above and beyond ways they care for our pups. For example, they make sure our dogs get to do something different, fun and engaging every day, rather its a new training skill or trick they learn, tunnels and ball pits they get to play in, sprinklers or edible bubbles to chase, or even artwork projects or professional portraits they’ll come home with. Their staff are attentive to little things, and are excellent at noticing and communicating changes in our dogs behavior, and they send us a daily report card with how they were, what they learned/did, and pictures from throughout the day. Again, they go way above and beyond for our pups in both big and small ways, and I very highly recommend them.
We were so nervous to leave our puppy Nala for the first time while we went on a vacation, but the staff at GiDDY UP PUP were so great and helped us feel at ease! I loved that she wouldn’t be in a kennel at all and with someone 24/7. She felt comfortable enough to play, have fun, and rest with all the other doggies. Getting updates everyday also helped us feel better about leaving her there. Will be using them again next time we go somewhere we can’t take our Nala girl!
We did the grooming services today and got Michelle. She did such an amazing job considering that she was able to do my dog's nails! I've been to groomers where they didn't even try 😭 felt like i had a new dog after 🥹😂 Booking the appointment was so convenient, too, because it was through texting. My introverted self was thankful for that and didn't have to call 😂😂
I cannot recommend Giddy Up Pup enough! Our puppy loves going to play with her friends every week! We needed to board our doggies last minute and Giddy Up Pup was the first place I thought of! They all had a blast staying there for a few days and we got updates and pictures of them through their stay! We won't take them anywhere else now! They treat and love our dogs as if they were their own and honestly that's the best feeling!
I can't say enough amazing things about GiDDY UP PUP! We've had our sweet Aussie, Frankie, stay multiple times over the last few months for boarding and the experience has been nothing short of stellar. This last time was on such short notice as we had family fall through, and they were able to get her right in before our vacation. Frankie loves her second home so much! If you love your fur babies as much as we do, I definitely recommend going to them for doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming. The GiDDY UP PUP team is a blessing!
I love this place as my two dogs don’t have to be crated and always seem to be happy and smiling when I pick them up. The staff is amazing and will send you updates or pictures of your pups to keep you informed of their visit. Of all the places I have boarded my pups, this has been the best experience by far.
I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Wonderful people, wonderful dog care, and they really go the extra mile to make sure you and the dogs are happy. We have two dogs with special and different needs, and we feel 1000% comfortable dropping them for daycare or boarding. We've also had a couple situations where we had to shuffle things around at the last minute, and Giddy Up was incredibly understanding.
We’ve been using Dogs on the Run in 2020 and now again for over a year after moving back to the area, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our pets receive. Melissa is fantastic with Dino, our dog, taking him on daily walks and capturing great pictures along the way. She always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy and well-exercised. Bella has been equally amazing, especially with overnight stays. Her special care for Dino and our cat, Rick, gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in great hands when we’re away. We highly recommend DOTR for their exceptional service and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Melissa and Bella, for your dedication and care!
Lora from Dogs on the Run was absolutely fabulous! We went on a family ski trip for a little over a week and Lora watched over our pup. We have a 2 year old lab and love her so much. Lora treated her like family and took such good care of her. Every day she sent me photos and updates which was a nice bonus. I've attached a few of the photos she sent over while we were gone-it made me so happy to get these updates;) We will definitely be using her services again when we travel or anytime we need someone to watch over our pup. Highly recommend her and Dogs on the Run!
Toby is more than just a dog sitter; he's an exceptional caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure Sasha's well-being. His attentiveness to her needs, coupled with his ability to engage her and adapt to her energy levels, truly sets him apart. What's remarkable is his deep knowledge of canine behavior, allowing him to tailor his care to Sasha's specific needs throughout the day. Witnessing Sasha's excitement as we approach Toby's house reassures me that she's in the best hands possible. Toby's regular updates, complete with videos and pictures, keep me at ease while I'm away, and I appreciate his dedication to ensuring Sasha's happiness and safety. He takes her on adventures all over town, which lights me up every time I see it. Recently, we tried boarding for the first time with Toby, and he exceeded all expectations. Sasha returned happy, mentally and physically stimulated, and well-rested. I wholeheartedly recommend Toby for his exceptional dog sitting and boarding services!
Dogs On The Run has been a life saving service for us, helping to always make sure our pup has his daily walk. We appreciate the concierge service, the fantastic dog walkers (shout out to Tracey!), and the sub walkers (yay, Alexis!). It is my daily joy to receive a picture of dog Levi on his walk with Tracey. Thank you for being so trusting and dependable, Dogs On The Run!
This is my first time using a pet sitter as my pup always travels with me, but when I could not take her on a recent trip, I turned to Dog on the Run. They were fantastic, very responsive, they paired me with the wonderful Jeanice who was an absolute angel!! She kept in contact, sent me pictures of my fur baby and they got along great!! She made my trip a carefree experience as I knew my Keely was in great hands! I highly recommend DOTR and Jeanice!!
Dogs on the Run is a reliable pet service with exceptional walkers like Sophia, Hannah, and Heather, who captures amazing photos on their long adventure walks. Genie was always there for us in emergency situations, and we truly miss her. Owner April consistently ensures a great experience, providing follow-up after appointments and any changes in service. Highly recommend Dogs on the Run for all your pet care needs!
I cannot say more good things about DOTR. Athena watched my sweet dog for 4 days and was nothing short of amazing. My dog is nervous/hyper and Athena worked with her and gave me so many updates as I was Away. I felt So comfortable knowing Cali was in such great hands and under such sweet care. 10/10 would use DOTR again and Cali can’t wait to see Athena again. She was AMAZING
Dogs on the Run came very highly recommended and they have been a life saver when I needed a pet sitter for my 20 lb pug mix dog. Right from the start, their professionalism was evident. They were fast to respond and asked me a series of pertinent questions regarding my dog's requirements and temperament, so that they can find a pet sitter who was the best match. Based on our discussion, they connected me to Shae. Shae is the best pet sitter I have worked with. Shae was always punctual. My dog, Chewy, instantly bonded with her. Shae followed all my instructions perfectly. Chewy can be leash reactive and hence walking him can be challenging, But Shae was very patient and careful with him. At the end of each session, she would send a detailed report along with pictures, which I very much appreciated. She was a pleasure to work with and I will be requesting her services on a regular basis. After every pet sitting gig, 'Dogs on the run' always followed up with me to get my feedback and ensure my satisfaction. I highly recommend DOTR and Shae for your pet sitting needs.
DOTR is an OUTSTANDING DOG-SITTING RESOURCE, & they have sitters throughout a broad section of the country. We used them while traveling for a family event in Berkeley, CA. The sitter, JANA was a sweetheart, was punctual, & professional, & even advised us when she reached our hotel. As I requested, she kept us updated on our puppy's status throughout the time she took care of her throughout the 2 days we were there, walking her, playing with her favorite fetch balls, etc, She sent us numerous adorable photos for my phone, & thorough updates, further making me feel confident that our puppy was in excellent hands. I couldn't have been more pleased, & STRONGLY RECOMMEND "DOTR" for reliable, professional dog-sitting services.
I can’t possibly express how much I love my pup’s sitter, Jan. She knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable with my dog staying in a new environment. She provides timely updates and is all around a wonderful human. My dog gets plenty of playtime and has made new doggy friends. I can’t recommend Dogs On The Run highly enough.it is amazing!
We had our young dog in daycare full time until I started working from home. Now a year and a half later I am so thrilled to be back. I love the staff and the care my dogs get during their time there.
Dog Dayz is the best and I never worry about my pup when shes there. The fantastic staff is so kind and knowledgeable, and they really care. Great facility and even have solutions when she had some leg problems and needed to be on restricted exercise. Daycare and boarding and so easy to book!
This review is long overdue. We’ve been using their services for a couple of years whenever we fly out of state. The staff are great and very kind. We used to meet Anahi, who was especially kind and took great care of our dog Daisy. It's a fantastic place.
Dog Dayz has been a great experience for us and our 1.5yr old Husky pup. We found Dog Dayz a couple months ago and appreciate their timely responses to email reservation requests, their pup assessment/ orientation process and quick return response times for the many follow up questions I ask. Our high energy working breed pup comes home thoroughly exhausted each visit (6 visits so far) and still continues to get excited each and every time we pull into the parking lot. We've even noticed better (less spastic excitement) leash behavior from our pup on our daily walks when other dogs are seen along our route- now that he has regular pup friends to play with at dog dayz. Would definitely recommend you check them out if you're looking for a new pup daycare.
The girls Annie and Heather are great, but I can’t say anything else about the care. My dog got a rash from there and he learned how to bark all day for attention. I called the trainer there she’s busy and no groomer after a 4 hour day……This was a horrible experience had to take a week off just to get my dog back on track.
Bonnie loves going here. She is so excited the entire way. The staff is attentive and great with the dogs. They understand the Great Pyrenees breed and they are very helpful. I appreciate the staff and the opportunity to attend such a great facility.
Morgan did a great brushing job on my curly golden doodle, lasted longer than usual. Thank you Dog Dayz for always delivering a fun and safe environment for Bruno!
We’re frequent users of their do it your self service. They have four raised tubs and all the necessary shampoo and grooming supplies. For your protection they have plastic aprons. The staff is always friendly.
Just a good feeling here, vs other dog care. Yes, lots of dogs. Yes, it isn't home. But the staff loves Annie and she actually goes willingly! Fair prices. Easy hours for drop n grab.
We have been taking our Bailey and Blossom to DogDayz for many many years for daycare also boarding They have always been taken care of well when they’re boarding and our dog Bailey has Addison’s disease and is given his medicine twice a day when he’s boarding thank you very much Claire and Hector Melendez
My Belgian Malinois puppy Poppy loves DogSpot!! She is a high energy, very social dog and gets so excited when we arrive at DogSpot she literally pulls me in the door! Staff is wonderful too (Kayla, Adrienne, Mags, Michael) - friendly, helpful and clearly like dogs. I just recommended DogSpot to a coworker. Thankful to have a place where my dog can have fun and burn some much needed energy!
I have a border collie mix named Cali and she is my wonderful energetic pup so I knew I needed to get her a good day care. I’ve dropped her off here for overnight stays three times now and every time I’m blown away with how patient and kind the staff are. Leaving your pup when you have to leave town or work late feels awful but the staff here are so kind and really do take care of them. She has sensitive feet and they not only kept an eye on her but would send me updates when I asked and even when I didn’t and it made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. If your pup is social and loves the dog park this is such a great place for them
DogSpot is just awesome! Best staff! Our dogs lose their minds when we yell “Let’s go to DogSpot!” And they always come home happy and exhausted. The staff has always bent over backwards for us and we appreciate them all so much. The boarding is no-drama and great. They take great care of the dogs. 100% highly recommended! Great team and a great place!
If you’re looking for a new day care or boarding facility, look no further. These guys are fast, professional, and understand dogs. Adrian is always easy to work with and very responsive. I drop my dog off with every confidence that he will be safe, well taken care of, and happy and exhausted when I pick him up.
Dogspot is an amazing place. The staff is awesome. The attention and care Dudley gets when he is there is priceless. I know he is being well taken care of and in a safe place. I can’t recommend their services enough. This is a picture I received from the staff letting me know he is doing great.
I love that I am able to check in on my puppy with the video cameras. I do however wish there was more things for the dogs to interact with like astroturf or pet beds. The attendants are always monitoring the dogs and taking time to play with them and pet them which is nice as well. The area is also kept very clean and hygienic which I appreciate for the dogs’ health and safety.
For the three years I lived in Oceanside I took my dog Runa here almost five days a week. Typically Runa hates being away from me but she was always excited and wagging her tail the minute she walked through the door. Everyone in staff is wonderful and I can’t count the times they went above and beyond to provide quality service to me and my dog. Their hours are fantastic and their rates are really good especially if you do the monthly package. They have webcams so you can always check up on your pup and see how they are doing. Since moving I still haven’t been able to find a doggy daycare as good as dogspot. So if you are in need of a place for your pup to be looked after while you work or go away, look no further.
I was excited to try this doggy day care and boarding as it is close to my home. Dog Spot staff was very friendly and accommodation of my 4 month old puppy. I had her boarded up there for 4 days.. They told me they would send me update photos during the duration of the stay….I received none…..they told me they would take her out every few hours to go potty in the grass (as I am currently training her to do)…i was watching the cameras and saw her go potty several times in the yard and not once taken outside. My experience was not the best although pricing was fair and staff very friendly. I will be searching for a different daycare/boarder moving forward.
Dogspot has been a second home to my dog Charlie since we moved to California. The staff takes amazing care of him and are very accommodating with last minute requests when I need them. Grateful and couldn't thank the them enough for all they do.
I brought my puppy to dog spot in hopes to help with socialization. Man did I make the right choice! I absolutely LOVE Dog Spot, the owner Carlene, and all of the staff. She was shy at first but they worked with her and now she is running around showing new pups the ropes! My girl will be growing up with the Dog Spot family and I love them all so much! I appreciate all of their hard work with our fur babies. ❤️
Aysha is the best! There’s no one else I would trust my dog with! My dog literally loses his mind every time he sees her because he associates her with good times! The first pic is from a pack walk my dog went on last week. He’s the one all the way to the left in a down with pointy ears. The second pic is Luce when I told him Aysha was here. The last pic is Luce after the pack walk. He sleeps most of the afternoon and into the evening. You need this woman in your life!
Our dog has been going out with Pals that Wander as soon as he was old enough to do so, and now he is so super socialized, and he looks forward to the two times a week. He gets picked up for a special hike and play date. I couldn’t recommend Pals that Wander more , my dog dollar is super lucky!!!
I cannot express the gratitude that I feel for the sincere love and compassion that they showed me and my dogs. They offer pickup and drop off daycare services and they offer sitting services. The daycare is a typically in a hike or at the beach and my pups always come home exhausted. I call these sisters my dog’s “girlfriends” because he is more excited to see them than than he is to see me come through the door. They take professional photos of the whole adventure so you have incredible footage of your pet in action.
Aysha and her sister are the best!! The initial paperwork is complete and dedicated to getting to know your dog, flaws and all. My dog loves his time with them!! You will get pictures and updates while you are away! Check out their feed, happy doggies!!! Scheduling is easy! Day trips or overnights are available. I never worry about my dog when he's with them. He comes home tired 🤩
***PALS THAT WANDER IS THE BEST*** Since moving across the country, far away from friends and family who would love on my dog while I was away, I found it extremely hard to find someone that would care for my dog like I would. Dog hotels and even pet sitters that were recommended left me feeling uneasy, as I could tell my dog was riddled with anxiety after a day with them. Pals That Wander is THE ONLY sitters that I leave my dog with, where I feel he is getting treated as well as if he were with me. My dog is obsessed with the beach and they pick him up for a day of fun in the California sun, while somehow capturing some of the best photos I have of my dog. It’s so awesome to get photo and video check ins of his adventures to ease my guilt over having to leave him. Even if I’m not out of town, it’s so nice to be able to have them pick my dog up on a heavy work week, so that he still gets a day of play that he deserves. The pickup/drop off is so convenient. You will not regret hiring them as your trusted sitters. They are truly one of a kind!
I am genuinely so delighted to have been referred to Pals That Wander this past spring. We started out looking for a reliable pet-sitter so we didn't need to send our pup to a big kennel. The moment I met Aysha, I knew it would be the right fit. She began taking Leo on beach trips to get used to him and vice verse. Now *WE* are all hooked :) He adores his (sometimes twice) weekly beach trips with his pals, gets out so much energy, and has had many stays with Aysha and her sweet sister, Kimmie for overnights. I literally don't trust my dog to anyone else. You will not only end up with the most amazing photos of your dog having the best beach playtime of their life, but your dog will end up with the best pack of pals ever. My dog has a better social life than I do thanks to Aysha :) Anytime we've been away and he's stayed for overnights, I never, ever worry because she keeps me in the loop the whole time of how he's doing. Could not recommend Aysha and Pals That Wander more. 10/10!
i can’t say enough wonderful things about Ayesha and Pals that Wander!! she is organized, diligent, honest and hard working!! best of all she takes impeccable care of our dog and we trust her 💯! he always comes back home after a pack walk, clean, tired and happy! …
So grateful to have a safe and loving place for our dog to stay when we are away. The daily text updates and pictures make our hearts happy! The hikes and trips to the beach are an added bonus! I highly recommend Aysha and Pals That Wander!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aisha and her team. They have been a literal godsend to me, my family, and our 2 year old goldendoodle named Frankie. For nearly a year now they have taken our sweet but rambunctious boy out 3 days a week on adventures to the beach and to hiking spots around town. Frankie is incredibly high energy who needs lots of social interaction and if not — is sad and depressed at home — and we are not that comfortable spending time at dog parks where I don’t know about any possible behavioral issues of other dogs. Aisha and her team are kind, professional, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, talented, reliable, trustworthy and just an overall great company. Frankie LOVES his time with them (borderline obsessed) and waits at the window anxiously for their arrival. Best decision ever! (The photo below is one Aisha took of Frankie last week at the beach. She regularly sends amazing photos & videos of Frankie after each adventure! Simply amazing!)
Our doodle Rooney gets so excited whenever he sees Aysha and the Pals that Wander crew show up. The adventures the dogs go on are so fun and Aysha takes great care of the dogs. I especially appreciate that it is door to door service- this really helps us and our busy schedules. Highly recommend their service!
Mike of Mike's Pet Care has been great! We have 2 cats and we have always returned with them well taken care of and the kitties happy! Mike is very responsive with communication, his rates are more than fair and his past experience keeps our mind at ease that he would be able to handle any issue with the cats. We have used him multiple times now and he makes sure to go above and beyond and is very professional - will take in mail, packages that happen to come and he even dealt with a (huge!) ant issue when we were gone without so much of a mention! Highly recommend! ~Nicole Cozean
Mike has been our go to guy when it comes to our pup. He saved us a handful of times when we were running late and couldnt get home in time to feed/walk our dog. Super communicative & responsive. Also great with our temperamental pup! Mikes a lover of all animals and will surely take good care of your pet!
Mike is awesome! We have a very geriatric cat, 18 yrs, and she is a handful and diva all rolled into one. Mike takes great care of her and all her medical needs. We are so happy to find a pet sitter like him. With his background he is not afraid to take charge and is very comfortable with any animal. He has a big heart for the furry friends and our cat is so lucky!
Mike has taken care of our “uniquely tempered” dog now several times, and Mike has not only earned our trust but, importantly, he has developed the trust of our “crazy” dog. Our dog is a rescue and came with a very skeptical and anxious outlook on other humans and dogs. But Mike was patient and determined to win over our dog’s anxieties, and with his professional and expert ways, Mike succeeded. We feel very blessed that we can rely on Mike.
Mike is the absolute best. He has been pet sitting for me regularly since early 2021. He always goes above and beyond -- he brings in the mail, packages, and always checks to make sure the house is okay while you are out of town. He is very responsive to all messages and check in, texts updates regularly and will often post sweet surprises of your furry friends to his Instagram. He is trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I recommend Mike to all our South County friends in need of a pet sitter. He is awesome!!!
Mike is AWESOME! He was super communicative while we were away, sending brief daily texts with pictures and/or videos making us laugh and feel good knowing that our dog was happy and being well cared for. We’ll definitely be using him again and wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to our friends & family! 🐾 …
Mike is truly a find. He is reliable, trust worthy, and your pet will love him. He has been providing in home care for my eleven year old lab for the past few years when we travel. His care allows my older dog to stay in our home where he is most comfortable, all while receiving attention, walks and love. I am so grateful for Mike because he provides peace of mind and flexibility to our busy family!
Mike is super knowledgeable about animal care and is a professional. I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trusting a new pet sitter with my 2 cats (one of which needs daily medication). I have now been using Mike's pet sitting service for almost 4 months and found Mike to be reliable and trustworthy. Even when I was on vacation for more than a week, the cats were doing great when I got back. It is a huge worry off of my shoulders to know that the house is being watched and the animals are well cared for when I am away. It is also a huge plus that in case there is a medical emergency, Mike has a vet tech background. And thanks Mike for the cat photos!
I have used many pet sitters over the past 10 years for our kitties. Mike is by far the most qualified, intelligent and caring sitter you will find. Mike is a person whose job is their passion and he intuitively knows the nature of animals. Mike is someone you can trust and feel comfortable with in your home with your pets, this is reflected in the outstanding work he does for our family. Mike was also able to accommodate our special needs kitty with diabetes, which is a rare find for a sitter. Mike is not your average pet sitter, he is reserved for those who love and treat their pets as family members, thank you Mike.
Mike has been unbelievable! We moved to San Clemente a few months ago and could not be happier with his care of our dog! She is always excited to go walk with him. He is very flexible with us. Could not recommend him more! He also has a ton of veterinarian experience which puts us at ease. You pet would be in great hands!!!
My neighbor recommended them! The staff is super friendly, you can tell they love their job & the animals! They really care. As soon as we walk in they all greet us, by name. My little guy loves it here! We'll be trying grooming services eventually as well!
The Animal Keeper Encinitas is my pup’s home away from home. He loves going to day camp and playing with friends, with the peace of mind that the other dogs are healthy, too. The price is reasonable for all day care, and the folks who work there are extremely kind and loving towards the dogs. Thanks Animal Keeper for your wonderful care!
I previously used a different boarding facility because it was closer to our house. But Animal Keeper really has shown superior customer service. When you call in, a real human picks up the phone. I called in three times with questions and each time the person who answered was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. That is so, so hard to find today. Additionally, I chose to pay extra for my pup to have the day care experience which was several hours with other dogs. This meant more activity and socialization for him. The competitor offered additional play time for an added cost, but it was for such a short amount of time it seemed less for my dog and more for their bottom line. Thank you Animal Keeper!
My deaf 2-year-old Argentine Mastiff had a fantastic time that play camp she looks forward to going back. They were great with her and she enjoyed them I appreciate the extra concern in time they take with my deaf dog.
Just started bringing my pup there for daycare. I love that they have a "tot-lot" for smaller dogs to playing that the lots are outside since my pup loves to lay on the sun. So far the experience has been mostly positive. Jewel at the front is truly a gem, and was so kind to show me around. The facility is very clean. I had a bad experience dropping off one morning while the gal up front made me wait over 5 minutes to check my guy in while she was on a phone call, when she clearly should have asked to put them on a brief hold and help the customer in her lobby who was waiting to go to work. Unfortunately, this was the manager I learned, so that is very disappointing. One VERY CONCERNING piece of information: THERE IS NO ATTENDANT PRESENT AT NIGHT if you're boarding your dog. They leave the dogs at 7pm unattended until the next am person comes in at 5am. They security cameras but no one is watching all night and there is no sound over the staff. I am not using them for boarding but felt this needed to be shared. If a dog experiences an incident no one will be there to know. Just an FYI.
My dog really loves being here and all of the staff is very friendly. He always comes home happy. Very reasonable pricing. Would highly recommend!
I 100% recommend this place, they are very professional, my fur daughter loves coming here, prices are reasonable and they always got special deals going on, Thank you so much for all you do.
Josh and the whole team at The Animal Keeper (Oceanside) are beyond amazing. I am so grateful for their patience and care. it makes me so happy to know that my (6-year old) Australian Cattledog is able to play and socialize under watchful + knowledgeable staff, when i’m stuck in meetings or have a busy day of errands. Thank you everyone at TAK.
We have a new dog. A young, energetic male! He loves to play at daycare, and helping him burn-off energy gives us a break too. So it’s good for everyone!
Great people all in one service , my baby Bella looks well loved thank you so much
