Pet Sitters in Descanso, CA

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!

Wayne and Cindy provide a wonderful five-star doggy day-care service. They are kind and understanding and the doggies (and humans!) feel it. I am a first-time owner to two shelter dogs and Cindy and Wayne have been a great resource to me for animal care. I have been happy with each of their recommendations and am now using their veterinarian. Much appreciation for their professional and excellent services and their ABOVE AND BEYOND flexibility. These are good people. I admire them for their great work which they approach as a calling. *****

Critter Sitters is fantastic! I work full time, and ever since my dog was a puppy, Cindy has been caring for her. She picks up my dog Lily for a fun filled day while I am at work. Lily loves going there and looks forward to it every day. When I’m on vacation, I don’t have to worry because they also offer boarding. I highly recommend Critter Sitters. Your pet will be well cared for!

Cindy and Wayne are the BEST people in the world. They've saved us countless times when our dog was experiencing symptoms we didn't understand and the Vet didn't have available appointments; Cindy and Wayne always go above and beyond to share their wisdom, supplies, time, and attention. They provide me with peace of mind knowing that my fur baby is being cared for, socialized, and loved in a home setting. Critter Sitters made the dream of having a puppy and working a full-time job possible. Thank you!

Cindy has been coming to our home to walk our two dogs off/on for a few years now and we love her - she is flexible, friendly, reliable, and most importantly our dogs love their time with Cindy. In addition, Cindy has taken our dogs on numerous occasions over to her place for doggy daycare- they get to run around and play with other dogs all day long and come back super happy and very tired. We plan to continue having Cindy work with our dogs 🐕 as they love it! Thank you for everything Cindy!

Cindy and her husband are the absolute best. When my husband and I were working a demanding call center job, they watched my cane corso Bentley, and also adjusted their hours to accommodate our schedules. They are the sweetest ever and will make sure you and your pups feel like family!

When looking for someone to drop in twice a day and feed the cat in our absence I asked for community referrals. Almost all the responses were recommendations for Cindy. Its been a few years now and she has done an awesome job with my elderly little spitter. I wish I had found her sooner, it would have saved me a lot of worry and stress over the years. she is truly an animal advocate and i highly recommend her.

Cindy is great! Pro with handling dogs and ensuring they get good exercises and fed on time. Easy to get in touch with and quick replies. Def rec if looking for someone. She handled my 2 big boy (1 80lbs malinois, husky mix and 70lbs oes) very well. Both came home happy.

Critter Sitters takes such good care and they are amazingly kind and communicative. We have referred many friend and neighbors. Our guy is always so happy to spend time with them. I consider it a day at a family member's house with lots of sweet, fun dogs to play with too.

Cindy is a lifesaver! I knew my dog (who had some challenging behaviors) was In competent, loving hands when with Cindy. Thank you, Cindy🙏🏼❤️ You're the BEST!!🙌🏾💕🙌🏾 …

We love Cindy! She is amazing with dogs and our puppy loves going over to her place. She is also super responsive through text and extremely flexible with your personal schedules.

My two year old Golden loves going to Posh Paws. She gets a lot of dog interaction and sleeps for two days when she gets home. Laura is excellent about sending photos during Nina's stays so that I know what a good time Nina is having.

Every time we travel without our two frenchies, Laura’s place is my dogs home. We know Laura for some time now, over 8 years or so and can’t be happier, she has always taken great care of our dogs. Laura has a great spirit. We are simply great full! Thank you G&G

We are spending the summer in Coronado and needed to find someone we could trust that could offer a safe, welcoming, home environment for our year old puppy. We are SO glad we found Laura! From the very first day we met her, we knew he was going to be in great hands and that we could relax and enjoy our time away from him. We've used her weekly for day care and overnight care and she always sends us video updates of him having a ball with the other dogs there! We would not hesitate to recommend PoshPaws to anyone that is looking for a friendly, safe and dependable place to leave their precious fur babies!

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved pups, Miles and Benny, to Laura and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. Laura and her team of in-house experts (her own pups) treat your pets as if they were their own. Here’s why I highly recommend their services: Professionalism and Peace of Mind: Laura is fully invested in the health, safety, and happiness of your pets and she is experienced in providing top notch care. Customized Care: Both of my dogs have challenges and can create more work for whomever takes care of them. She has never complained, embraces the challenges and furthermore, I receive photos of the pups just hanging out. She knows how to respond and maintain a calm environment. Knowing that my pets were in capable hands gave me peace of mind during my travels. If you’re in the Coronado and Imperial Beach area and need top-notch pet care, look no further than Laura. Your pets will thank you, and you’ll travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

There are a lot of dog and cat sitting services out there…and apart from getting that magical reference from a like-minded friend, it is almost impossible to know what you are going to get. Each pet and pet owner is an individual so one size never truly fits all…and pretty much everyone can make themselves look good online... So consider this that magical reference from your best friend…PoshPaws! ;-) Owners Laura and Russell are both amazing pet lovers and business owners…they take both sides of this type of business very seriously. Communication is fantastic! Level of care is unparalleled! If your dog is reasonably well-behaved and gets along with most other dogs…then your dog friend can stay at Laura’s home! If your dog/cat is not up for communing with others…Laura will come to your house…feed, water, play...she will take your dog to the vet…etc... We have been using PoshPaws since Laura started her business nine years ago. And from day one, Laura has gone above and beyond …she has come to our house numerous times to care for our cat, Demetrius (who now needs subcutaneous fluids three times a week)...and she loves our rescue dog, Clementine, who has enjoyed many an extended sleepover at Laura and Russell's home (on their bed!;-) Always supervised…always calm…always clean…surrounded by their own small pack of rescue canines...and a few other boarding dogs of all sizes…from Great Dane to Chihuahua…everyone gets along!…they bark their greetings…quiet down almost immediately...and its always very calming being at Laura’s house among all the dogs... Laura is also a font of well-researched information on dog and cat care... thanks to the variety of experiences she has had with her own pack…including joint care for mature animals…back operations and rehab for her dachshund…flea preventions...vet and grooming recommendations…the best feeding options…the list goes on and on… In short, PoshPaws provides the highest level of care and peace of mind…you just can’t go wrong with PoshPaws! :-)

The moment I talked to Laura on the phone I felt like she was a friend I was calling to watch my dog for the day. The next morning I was running late for work and was upset that I wouldn’t get to properly meet her to talk to her about my dog so that I could make sure this was going to be a safe and fun daycare for her. Well Calypso ran right up to Laura like she was her best friend, jumped up all excited to greet her!!! Laura was great in person and quickly made me feel confident in leaving Calypso in her care. She sent me pictures and updates of all the fun and playtime Calypso was having. Posh Paws is a doggy daycare that unlike the large commercial daycares, it always feels as though I am dropping Calypso off at a friends house to go play with her friends! All day she gets to play with her friends and lounge around sunbathing in the comfort of Laura’s place. I send Calypso weekly and sometimes for many days in a row. Posh Paws is hands down the best doggy daycare and Laura is an amazing person who will care for you dog as if they were her own. Laura is also awesome at getting the most adorable pictures of Calypso, i added a couple!!!

At home, I am an only dog so i love hanging out at PoshPaws when mom travels because I have friends there; the home is furnished for us dogs with pillows, couches, ottomans and couches galore, and the backyard is phenomenal: elevated cots, pillows, and shaded areas for hot summer days. I also love the humans there, they give each of us special attention. Mom feels good about boarding me at PoshPaws because she knows I am in good hands, I get my food, treats and medications just like at home. Poshpaws is definitely the place to be for all the cool dogs in the San Diego area

Finding Laura when we moved to the area was such a blessing! She cared for our senior dog like he was one of her own. And definitely helped to train our new (WILD) pup too. We traveled to the east coast, and knowing our pets were in her home put our mind at ease. Receiving pictures, updates, and funny stories made our family so happy/relieved. So much better than using a kennel & having to try and spot your pet on a puppy cam!

We have taken our dogs to Laura for over 8 years. Posh Paws has become their second home for both day care as well as extended stays while we vacation. We call it Puppy Play Camp. She takes excellent care of our “child” and we never worry about him while he is staying with her, even sending photo updates! Laura is extremely conscientious and follows any instructions, ensuring that all medications are given on schedule. I strongly recommend Posh Paws for all your pet sitting needs.

We’ve had our 10 year dog, Lilah stay with Laura since she’s been a puppy. It is truly Lilah's home away from home. Laura provides exceptional care and love. We consider Laura as family. The added treat for Lilah is being able to have fun with her doggy pals. PoshPaws is truly 10/10.

Thank you for caring for my fur baby while I took a night out. It was my first night out since I got my fur baby 5 years ago. I really loved being able to pick her up And take her home with me after the event too. I love the pictures of her and the updates on report card… I am A special Ed teacher!I absolutely loved this! Thank you 24 Hour Dog Daycare

I really enjoy bringing my dog here for the private boarding suite. He was attended to and well taken care of. I appreciate the daily report cards and pictures of my dog. Gives me such a relief and happy feeling to know and see pictures of my little fur baby doing well with the committed staff members. I definitely recommend this place and will bringing my dog back when we go on our next vacation.

People are friendly and professional. Our dog Anthony seems to really enjoy being there with his friends both doggy and human. The employees seem to enjoy their job and I believe that is why Anthony enjoys visiting.

First time here and it was a pleasant experience for my dog Kiki. She was here for 4th of July weekend and she enjoyed her time here. I got the solo dog sleepover and she enjoyed it all. Loved and taken cared by the staff, I was sent a report card every day along with lovely pictures to know how she was doing and and her progress. Excellent coming here. Love it. And 24 hr care too.

24 Hour dog daycare, was the best, It was my puppy first time there and he had such a blast playing with all the dogs, we got a report card during his visit and lots of photos, along with a very detailed description of how his day was going! I would definitely recommend! also a huge plus that they are 24 hour!

When we got our Maltese back, he was smelling so good. He was calm and relaxed. We believe that he was pampered and spoiled well during the 6 hours of TLC. The daycare is so convenient for us since we could drop off and pick up our pet at anytime. I don’t see another daycare who could be so flexible like that. We will definitely come back! 100%. We went to have a thanksgiving dinner with my family and then went to the outlet for some shopping. It was so worry free. Thank you 24 hour dog daycare for all the care you gave to our precious one.

This was our first time at 24 hour dog day care. They are accommodating and flexible with their hours and our doggie seemed happy with her time there. We loved her “report card” and the great pictures they sent us with her new friends.

I've only used them 2 times so far but their prices are fair and I really like how easy it is to schedule a daycare session online, and convenient drop off and pickup times, any time of the day. I often have to travel up the 15 freeway for trips to Riverside County, so I can swing by as late as needed with no issues. Like others have said, the smell of ammonia from dog urine as soon as I opened the front door almost made me gag. It was so strong it took my breath away. Have they gone nose blind or something? I asked the girl behind the desk why it smelled so strong like ammonia, and she said it always smells like that and alot of clients think it smells good. I was perplexed by this answer, and so I asked another girl who came out to front desk area, and she said they have strict cleaning protocols and they clean multiple times a day. This is the first time I've ever used a doggy daycare or boarding facility, so I wondered if they all smell like this? My dog came from the shelter, and the shelter didnt even smell this bad, so that's saying something about how strong the urine smell is here. I didn't have time to find another alternative, so I had to leave her and hit the road. When I picked her up that evening, she smelled fresh like she had a bath. I even went back inside and asked them if she had a bath but they said no. Very odd. A week later I had to drop her off again because I would be picking her up late, but this time the urine smell was even worse. I called to check in 3 times during her stay, and each time I got the voicemail - I left a message and I didnt receive a call back for several hours - pretty unacceptable. When I picked her up, she had that same fresh scent, but with the lingering odor of ammonia in her coat. When we got home I couldn't take it, and I had to give her a towel bath. Another thing that I found strange about this place is they don't allow you to tour it and they don't allow a live video feed. What are they hiding? I asked why no cameras and they said that they allow all breeds. Do they not want someone freaking out because they see a pitbull on camera? That sounds like a ridiculous answer. Why don't you just say it's to cover your butt from liability issues - at least that's honest. Combine that with the pungent urine ammonia smell, the fact you cant tour the facility or see the conditions in which your dog is staying while they are not with you, and its just too many red flags for me. I'm going to try some other day care places. I'm kind bummed because otherwise I really like the convenience of the hours and everything else about the place. I don't know if there's decomposing urine trapped in the walls or under the flooring, but they really need to find the source, cut it out and remove it, and then waterproof it so urine cant soak through and get trapped to decompose like this again. It can't be healthy for the respiratory system of the people that work there, let alone for the dogs! RESPONSE TO OWNER RESPONSE: I checked my phone logs and it jogged my memory - I did receive a response to my voicemail, therefore I updated my review and clarified a few things. 1, 2 or even 3 hour delay in a return call is ok - taking that many hours tells me you were over booked or under staffed. According to reviews, the smell issue has been going on for several years, and you give the same answer to everyone who comments on it - I guess you're in no hurry to solve it. I have since used another doggy daycare, and can confirm this smell is not normal. Remote access live feeds with multiple high resolution cameras cost about $5000 max and shouldn't raise your costs if you host it on your own server. For transparency, you should consider one and it would negate the need for facility tours. A recorded virtual tour is pointless because the things people want to see are not shown, such as how truly clean it is, how many dogs are there on any given day, staff-per-dog ratio, etc. This would be solved with a live feed camera.

I'll cut right to the chase before the longer review. We all love our dogs. We're protective of them. When we can't be the ones to care for them, we need someone who we can trust. That's not easy! Trust is definitely earned when it comes to the lives of our pups. This place is 100% my go to, trusted dog day care in San Diego. Fair pricing, great package options, and most importantly, Coral LOVES going here. She always walks out exhausted but happy and gets excited to walk back in for her next stay. I recently moved to San Diego and have to travel for work occasionally and needed a dog day care/sitter. I was fortunate to find 24 Hour Dog Daycare! Coral is a 1.5 year old pup with ALL the energy and loves socialization from humans and other dogs. She has such a good time here and gets really excited to walk into the building (a good sign that she genuinely enjoys her time there). They have at least one person on watch at all times to ensure no puppy fights break out and ensure the pups are well taken care of. I love the Report Card feature they use in which they send you a daily update on 1) how the pup is doing, 2) how they are interacting with the other dogs and humans, 3) if they've eaten, drank, and gone potty, and 4) PICTURES! I love the pictures. You have the option to do a social stay or private stay. Coral is really well socialized and thrives in a pack so I've always opted for social where she gets to play with other pups all day. You can also leave your pup with their food or choose to use the daycare provided food at a small cost per meal. I love how tired Coral always comes home. She obviously loves it and I love it for her. For as long as I am in San Diego, this is the only place Coral is going!

The staff is awesome. I take my golden doodle Bella To the doggy day care off Miramar road. Bella is not much of a people dog, Fact she could pretty much do without most people but she loves dogs. The staff has been so patient with her that she has warmed up to each and every one of them. When I drop her off in the morning she jumps out of the truck walks in greets them and can't wait to go back and play. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone whether it's for the day or their overnight doggy slumber parties. They take great care of your pooch as if it was their own.

I have been taking Mr. Crumbs to Audrey at Sunnyside since I picked him up in November 2021! She runs the most trustworthy and reliable pet sitting business in San Diego! She does everything perfect from doing daily stop-ins to take Mr Crumbs for a walk all the way up to 14 day overnights. Mr crumbs loves her and sometimes I think he gets sad when I go to pick him up because he’s having so much fun with Audrey. Audreys house is way bigger than mine and has a lot of outdoor area, so I can understand why Mr crumbs loves it there so much! Thanks SunnySide! Mr Crumbs can’t wait for his next visit in a few weeks!

Audrey from Sunnyside petcare is our go-to pet sitter whenever we are out of town. Our dog loki loves to visit with her and always seems excited to see her which makes me really happy. When we were abroad we got sent pictures every day of their adventures. Would highly recommend

SunnySide rocks! My pup has the greatest time getting to spend a day or a few with Audrey and the gang. He always comes back happy and tired, just the way we love him. Audrey is a pro with dogs of various ages, sizes and energy levels and gives special attention to your furballs' individual needs. And always new friends!

Sunnyside pet care goes above and beyond used them for years takes great care of my bulldogs that are high maintenance. From butt wiping to folds being clean never a problem. She is the only person I trust with my dogs to stay over night for days while on vacation.10/10

Audrey has been by far one of the best pet sitters I’ve had! She is great with my dog and knows how to handle him since he’s more reactive and is always giving him lots of love. I also love that she is super communicative and sends tons of updates and photos! I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting services!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Audrey/SunnySide Petcare has been a God send for our dog. He is a Rottie-mix and a rescue and is usually wary about new people but she was confident and calm when meeting him. She knew exactly what to do from day one and my dog was immediately comfortable and acted as if they were best friends for years! She has been walking him weekly since the first meet. She is reliable, flexible, super friendly and sends you updates with pictures on every walk! Highly highly highly recommend!!!

Audrey is a fantastic dog sitter. She loves our poodle Isa and Isa loves spending time with her. I highly recommend her.

We found Audrey when we needed some help during the week to walk the dogs and we are so grateful that we found her! She has been a godsend. She is so knowledgeable, confident, responsive and just overall awesome with our two pups. Her flexibility to work with them and her ability to go above and beyond to ensure their safety, gives me peace of mind. Both of our dogs can be unpredictably reactive but they’ve built a super strong bond with Audrey. They’ve gone on many long walks and we’ve just added beach trips to their agenda and we’re now using her for overnight stays! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!

Audrey is great with our dogs. She is reliable and sends us updates. She is willing to go above and beyond to ensure the comfort of both the owner and the pet.

Audrey is the best! We have a cat and a 4-year-old dog who has some anxiety and trust issues. He takes a long time to get used to people, so we had some issues finding a sitter—until we found Audrey! She was so patient with him and made us feel really comfortable leaving him in her care. Now he loves to see her! We can travel without worry knowing Archie and Cheeks are taken care of :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wow! What a great experience. Was nervous bringing Lola to her first Doggie Day Care, and the staff seemed to genuinely care for the dogs as their own. They wrote up the sweetest report card and then sent these AMAZING pictures at no cost. These are high quality and professional pictures, and was such a nice surprise. We will for sure be coming back.

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.

My 3 girls had an outstanding time. Teddy was so happy to have her constant human connection and was taken care by the staff. Everyone took care of my girls as if they were there own. I loved being able to watch them daily while on vacation. That made it easier to relax and enjoy my time away. I wish I had names to Thank Staff individually for their support and care. My girls had so much fun I didn't think they would want to leave.

Everything about Camp Bow Wow was AMAZING! All the staff were super friendly and helpful. They were very accommodating and kind. They helped us through the straightforward dog interview process and then we could have our girl Moxie attend camp and stay overnight. We signed Moxie up for extra cuddle time, and the staff team sent us photos of cuddle time, and you could just see how happy Moxie was. It made us feel so much more comfortable seeing how kind and caring the staff team was at every aspect of the camp experience. We also loved the live camera feed that allowed us to check in on our girl while she was at camp. I also have to say that they do a wonderful job regarding sanitation procedures. When we checked in on our Moxie via the cameras, we always saw someone cleaning up or tidying up. They do a great job of ensuring the kennels and the various play areas are clean and sanitary. If you are looking for a clean, loving place to board your four-legged friend or even just need a fun day camp to take your dog to, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAMP BOW WOW! We had an amazing experience and will definitely be returning for more camps in the future.

Everyone is always so happy and kind. They make my pet feel like the most special dog to walk through their doors. Love the camper cams too! The crafts and enrichments are also very funny - the texts with pictures are always a highlight! When Arlo is at camp for daycare or boarding I know he is among friends who care about him!

Everything about Camp Bow Wow El Cajon is outstanding! I love being able to check in on my dog on the camper cams and seeing her safe and sound and happy. I want to give a shout out to the groomer there in particular! I have a long-haired dog who loves to get dirty and the camp groomer not only bathed her and cut her hair perfectly (and put little bows in her hair, omg so cute), she also took the time to take care of any knots in between her toes and all those hard to reach places. My dog for sure walks a little taller after a groom, she knows she looks good!! Thank you Camp Bow Wow!

We will not be returning - I was overcharged, my dog was injured, and my dog was not fed. This facility is obviously mismanaged and does not treat animals properly. I originally made a reservation for Labor Day weekend 8/28-9/3 for the Camp Bow Wow in Midway, but it closed. I was contacted to move my reservation to the El Cajon location. I was never told that there would be an upcharge for the Holiday even after multiple phone calls. I was also not told about any shift in hours. Upon dropping our dog off, we were charged $10 per day for the Holiday weekend. I could understand being charged for 1 or 2 days, but why charge me extra for the whole weekend? I complained and received a refund, but it made me worried about leaving our dog there. After just 1 day, we received a call that our dog had a deep scratch on his face. We were extremely worried, but they didn't feel it was necessary to call the vet or have him be picked up. The most frustrating part is that they don't know how the scratch happened. Our dog does not play rough and usually keeps to himself. I continued to check in with them every 1-2 days to make sure the scratch was healing. When it got to Labor Day, I texted them at 10am to check on our pup. I did not receive an answer, and there were no dogs running around on the videos. I kept checking throughout the day, but I never saw activity on the videos. At 3pm, I texted again and called - no answer + no activity on the videos. They finally called me back at 4pm and told me that they were closed on Sundays and Holidays from 10am-4pm. They told me that the dogs don't get let out for daycare but simply get let out to go to the bathroom for a few minutes - WHY WERE THEY TRYING TO CHARGE ME EXTRA WHEN MY DOG WAS STUCK IN A KENNEL FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW? The absolute worst part of the entire experience is that they did not feed my dog. My dog has lost 5 pounds. In his 9 years of life, he has never looked emaciated like he does now; his ribs and hip bones are showing. I sent him with 2 gallon-sized bags full of food, which was measured out perfectly for the time he was supposed to be there. I HAD ONE FULL BAG OF FOOD LEFTOVER. I communicated multiple times with them about how much food he should receive. I included my own scooper with markings for clarity. I told them to put water in his food if he was not eating. On his report card, they marked that he fully ate breakfast and dinner, which can't possibly be true. IN REGARDS TO THEIR RESPONSE: MY DOG IS ALLERGIC TO CHICKEN!!! I am traumatized on my dog's behalf. We will never be returning. I would have paid double to avoid this experience.

Recently picked up my dog and found out they were covered in fleas from my groomer. Called Camp Bow Wow to give them a heads up and the woman on the phone was cold and rude. She was “mhmm” me and treated me like I was wasting her time because I was crazy. At the end she gave me a “anything else I can help you with” No apology or question about the dog’s well-being. Disappointing interaction. Says a lot about how some of their staff care for the dogs. Should have been handled with more kindness and courtesy.

This place really impressed me. The facility is clean, modern, the staff are just awesome and you can tell they love animals. I loved that I could watch my pups on their free app via a live feed. My pups were very well taken care of. The staff clearly communicated with me and gave me a report card. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with them!

We just love Camp Bow Wow. Our pup is so happy when we pull into the parking lot and sort of sad to leave when we pick her up. Thank you for all the care you give to our baby girl!

The staff is fantastic and very willing to do what help in a variety of ways. Taking it easy with the dogs and easing into a comfortable place, not just throwing them in without adjustment. I will continue to come here whenever I need boarding. The camera's were a big selling point as well, I love being able to check in on my boys whenever I get a moment, and Camp Bow Wow keeps them on a pretty consistent schedule so I know to expect them in certain areas as a certain time

My pup loves Camp Bow Wow!!! She is excited to go in the mornings. Camp Bow Wow has a good balance of play time and rest time. Zoey is safe and comfortable while I am at work. This peace of mind is very important to me.

Love this place! Our vet recommended this resort and I cannot say enough good things. I used to manage a doggy daycare so I am picky about where I leave my cat but immediately had amazing vibes from the staff. We had to board our cat for a week and they were very kind and calm at drop off and pick up. Sammi was well taken care of by the wonderful staff and was back to his chill self in no time when he came home. I also love that they have separate entrances for cats and dogs to help the animals be more calm.

They took great care of our pup ❤️ And they sent photos of her stay.

Our dog, Jack, was happy and healthy after 2 weeks at Furry Friends. I think he misses it!

Best place to leave your pets when you go on a trip. They send updates, and you can live view to check in while you’re gone if you book the suite. Only place we trust to take care of our Golden Retriever!

I’ve boarded my *reactive* special dog here three times and I cannot say enough great things about Furry Friends. It’s hard to find someone to thoughtfully care for your dog while you’re away and Furry Friends is just the place. My dog comes home well taken care of and I have peace of mind whenever I drop him off. I’m so glad we found this place for our dog whenever we cannot take him on trips with us.

I recently boarded my dog here, she is very fearful of people but the team here was so kind and patient with helping us make it work. They did a great job and made her feel so comfortable during her stay. I’ll definitely continue to bring her back in the future!

We took our new puppy here and she loves it. She gets downtime in her “room” as well as lots of play time in the yard. The staff is so welcoming and kind, they love our dog and it shows in how they greet her each time at drop off.

We've loved taking our dog to Furry Friends! They can get really booked up around holidays so make sure to call in advance. They rotate the dogs out in the yard so they get consistent play throughout the day and they make sure your dog is with the right group. Every time we've taken our dog for boarding or day care the staff make it clear that they are paying attention to the dogs while they're in the yard and making sure they're taken care of.

Our two dogs stayed here recently for a few nights. Both of them received awesome care and attention from the staff at Furry Friends Resort. Our 13 year old dog had never been boarded before, and within a day or so became extremely scared and fearful of the situation. The staff went above and beyond to help our old boy get as comfortable as possible, even going to our veterinarian to pick up some medication for him. Even though he was scared they never gave up and were attentive to him. The luxury suites are awesome for the dogs with bed and TV, they make it a point for the dogs to feel at home. The webcams are excellent to check in on our doggies! The play areas are nice as well. There is a clear emphasis on cleanliness. They also offer grooming during the stay. Really good experience at the Furry Friends Resort, highly recommended.

I’ve had such a good experience with Furry Friends Resort. My almost 3year old black lab/border collie mix can be an anxious girl. She doesn’t want to play with other dogs. The staff here is fantastic. They keep Stella on her routine schedule and spend time with her and she comes home happy! We’ve boarded Stella for three long weekends over the last seven months. I believe that because Stella sees familiar faces and they are so kind to her, that it has helped my dog be more confident and calm when she’s there. Also, the last two times we’ve picked her up, we noticed that she’s calmer when seeing other dogs and new people out on walks, which is a very nice change. I feel really good about leaving her in such good hands!!

March 2021 - Chris and Barbara are very special people and took excellent care of our 10 month old Maltipoo. He has stayed with them for both day care and overnight visits and I was very happy with the care they provided! I prefer that he get more attention and personalized attention at a smaller, home care setting (like Hugs) vs one of the other more commercialized dog care options. Chris and Barbara took our dog on a nice, long walk in the morning and evening. They were very flexible when our schedule changed and we needed to adjust the pick up time. And our dog came back clean, happy and tired :-) Update 4/2021 - our dog just stayed with Chris and Barbara for the past 10 days and they sent me pictures, videos and updates every day. Also got pictures of our dog sitting with them - I could tell that they truly care about him and he received lots of love in our absence. He celebrated his 1st birthday with them and my daughter was so sad that we weren’t with him. Chris and Barbara threw him a birthday party and FaceTimed with us so that we could see his party they put on - complete with birthday hats, balloons, dog cake and even a present! We were so appreciative and touched (especially my daughter)!

Hugs Pets Sittings did a truly outstanding and professional job caring for my lab Lola for overnight stays in the home-style setting we wanted for our pet. Not only was my dog cared for in a healthy and loving manner with multiple walks and much attention, but the owners also provided me with photos and and video updates throughout my trip so I could see how well Lola had adjusted to her new environment. Another bonus is Hugs Pet Sitting also allowed me to cancel a reservation 5 days prior due to a emergency hospitalization of a family member during the busy holiday season. Their understanding and compassion shows a business that really cares for its customers.

We were very fortunate to have found this place as we were looking for boarding for our furbabies. We love the fact that they get to roam freely and have access to indoor and outdoor space; it was the perfect home away from home for them. Chris and Barbara were very caring and we knew they were in good hands while we were out of town! We enjoyed all the daily check-ins and I know Kona and Milo look forward to their next visit! They really enjoyed their walks and playing with their furry friends!!!! Thank you again Chris and Barbara, you both provide a great environment for our pets!!

I've had our two dogs, Penny and Sidney, staying at Hugs Pet Sitting for 2 years now. When I first met Barbara and Chris in their home to discuss our needs, I was struck at how their house was 100% tailor-made to have dogs as guests. To have our dogs in a home environment with a limited number of dogs per day, tended to by TRUE dog-lovers who treat your dogs as if they are their own, is a dream come true. The first year, we had a major home remodel going on, and couldn't have our dogs underfoot with workers going in and out (open doors) and dangerous materials strewn about. Five days a week our dogs got to go to "Camp Cavanaugh" and be loved and pampered by Chris and Barbara. They always went out of their way to make sure they got love and affection, or walks, or pickups or drop-offs to my house when I was in a bind...they are the most generous-hearted people who truly do care. I also 100% know that if any sort of emergency were to arise, it would be handled immediately with intelligent and informed action. Our dogs bonded with their two dogs, Yuki and Peach, for life..they truly are best friends. Their German Shepherd Yuki can at first look imposing because of his size, but he truly is a gentle giant who wouldn't hurt a flea...he is so well mannered and such a gentleman and so sweet. Their other dog Peach is exactly as her name implies...a peach! A sweetheart who loves to play and be friends. Now that we're in our second year, we meet at the park for walks (again, our dogs are BFFs), and when we go out of town, our dogs get the treat of getting to stay at what I now refer to as "their cousin's home." We thank our lucky stars every day that we found Hugs Pet Sitting. It truly lives up to its name. Barbara and Chris both work from home, so the dogs truly are tended to and taken care of. Out of this fortunate connection we've found dear friends for life too, in Barbara and Chris! Dog lovers, they are the real deal!! Your search is over...just bring them to Hugs!

I can’t tell you how pleased I was with Hugs Pet Boarding and day care! I originally had my dog scheduled to be boarded at a facility for 10 days. This weighed on our shoulders for days before we left. The thought of him inside sleeping in a kennel and only going out to play with other dogs a few times a day was agonizing!! After searching I came upon Hugs doggy daycare/boarding. This was like finding a diamond in the rough! Everything from my first contact with Chris and Barb was nothing more than professional. We had a meet and greet before our trip and I felt completely confident that this was the place for our pup. They did not disappoint!! Every day they sent us a little video clip of how much fun our pup was having. We actually were concerned that he would not want to come home with us when we came to pick him up. He was having a great time!! Everyday! I would definitely refer my best friends and family and anyone who asks for a place to bring their fur babies to Hugs!!!

Our 6 month old Viszla puppy, Maple, had such a great time at Hugs! It was so comforting to be able to leave her in a home setting and get daily pictures/videos of her activities and behavior. She was so tired out when we picked her up from running around with the other dogs and it was clear she enjoyed herself! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than our family members and it's safe to say we will definitely be using Hugs again, highly recommend!

Chris and Barbara took wonderful care of our dog over our spring break vacation. They cared about her comfort and walked her everyday while she stayed with them. We felt lucky that she was in such good and caring hands. Their place was clean and set up wonderfully for dogs to roam freely and play. They even sent us pictures and videos showing what a great time our dog was having with the other dogs there. One thing especially I would give them a shout out for is how they took some time to screen the dogs they accepted. It was great knowing that they made sure our dog would be comfortable with the other dogs there before we left her there. I wish I could give more stars than five and definitely wouldn't think twice before having her stay with Chris and Barbara again in the future!

Chris and Barbara were wonderful hosts to our 7 month old golden retriever. They were quick to communicate. They sent updates daily. They were willing to work with our picky eater and make accommodations for him. They got him out for exercise daily. He was a happy pup when we picked him up after 3 nights! We will definitely use them again. Thank you!

Hugs is absolutely the best place for your furry friends! I am beyond grateful we found Hugs. Chris and Barbara are amazing with the animals. Our fur babies, Lola and Ziggy, come home happier when they are at Hugs versus anywhere else when we are out. Hugs take wonderful care of the animals and I love how they send photos and video clips of the animals everyday. It makes me feel so comfortable knowing the dogs are in excellent hands. Chris and Barb are nothing short of attentive and loving when it comes to the fur babies. We love them!

I feel so lucky that I found Hugs Pet Sitting for my dog Maggie! She has some separation anxiety and doesn't trust new people very easily but she felt so comfortable with Chris and Barbara immediately! They send me pictures and videos throughout my trips and I can see Maggie having the best time with them and the other pups! Thank you hugs for the being the best!!

The best place I’ve found for my high-energy dog! Thomas (the owner) and his team, especially Michael, are fantastic. It is apparent when speaking with them and seeing them interact with the pups that they both understand and more importantly love dogs. The value exceeds the price as I don’t have to think about my crazy little terrier from the moment I drop him off until the time I pick him up, inevitably filthy (they do offer baths though) and exhausted and happy from getting to tear around and just be a dog all day every day. I’ve left him for as long as a month and he’s always just as happy when I pick him up whether it’s been three days or 30 days. The exercise and pack time that he gets there is something that I simply can’t duplicate on my own. It truly is sleepaway camp for dogs. They’ve always been flexible and accommodating with dates of stays, they send pictures of my pup, and I’ve found them to be all-around salt of the earth good people who I can trust with my doggo. Having had dogs for 20 years, I am very selective about who I will leave them with. Cannot say enough good things about the Ranch and their team. I tell every dog owner in my neighborhood about them. Highly recommend! (Photos are actual photos they’ve sent me while my dog stayed with them)

My corgi loves coming here when I am out of town. He is so excited when we pull up to the ranch. He comes home exhausted. Alpine dog ranch is communicative and I know he is being well looked after. You can text them for info or pics too. Highly recommend this spot for boarding.

My GSP dogs love this place more than anything. I tell them we are going to Disney when I’m bringing them because that’s how much fun they have. I feel like this is the only place that can give my extreme high energy dogs the care they need. When I bring them home they are so well behaved. This is the perfect place to bring your dog to just be a dog! They also don’t overcrowd with too many dogs at once like some places do. It’s a bit of a drive if you live in San Diego but this is the only place I will bring my boys when I go away because I have such piece of mind that they will be safe and having so much fun. 😊

We have been using Alpine Dog Ranch for over 15 years for two of our dogs, first Chance (Lab/Doberman mix), now Winter (Golden Doodle). They LOVE this place. When their car arrives for pick up our dogs get excited, tails wagging and jump in their vehicle- no hesitation. (By comparison when I take Winter to the groomers she refuses to get out of my car.) While we are gone we can see our dog on video running around and they send us pics. The dogs always come home happy and tuckered out- not once did they return sick. This family owned business is professional and responsible and has been a life saver. I feel like when we are on vacation, our dog is too!

We have been in communication with Alpine Dog Ranch for weeks. We were told that no reservation was needed and that we were set to drop our dog off for this weekend. Today, we were informed that this was not the case. The levels of unprofessionalism and disorganization are astounding. I can't comment on how the stay is for the dogs, but I can say that I have lost all faith in this place. If they can't take care of the basics regarding booking, I have no idea how they take care of dogs. I have a 3 week trip in December where we were planning on leaving our dog there but after this, I can't trust this place.

Great people when we went fir our tour. Plenty of room for the pups to get tuckered out. They have a little pond of water for dogs. The dog runs are in a small shed and another in a barn. I will consider leaving my dog her fir a weekend. I'm not sure she could make it a week. It's lots of exercise, but for my dog she doesn't know when to stop. I feel like they are doing a wonderful thing, just not the stay place for us. I would love to visit when the dogs are out and about to see their actual interaction with the pups.

My Mattie loves the dog ranch. I take her almost every week. Owners and employees are great to work with and take good care of your dog. There is a waterfall, boulders to jump on, a hike, rest time, and lots of socializing and play time. Your dog is in good hands and will have the time of their lives.

We moved out to San Diego from Boston back in 2021. We brought our two pointers with us. Clarke was 3 and Louie was a few months old. They are a handful. We had always relied on family to watch them for us back home in Boston. We really struggled our first year out here trying to find a place for them to stay where we didn't feel guilty. We toured a couple places around San Diego, passed the temperament exams, got them into a few daycares and started there. None of the places were really what we were looking for as far as overnight boarding goes, but it had been almost a year since we had seen our family so we bit the bullet and picked one we thought was the best. We were nervous and but we were sure we had done our due diligence and found the best option. We used that particular boarding facility twice over the course of a few months and had issues both times. We were devastated. We had decided to put a hold on travel, indefinitely. We missed a couple weddings, funerals, birthdays, you name it. It was a bummer. One day we stumbled across the Alpine Dog Ranch website and we couldn't believe what we were reading/seeing. It was exactly what we were looking for. We scheduled a meet and greet immediately and it was everything they said it was. Everything about it was perfect. The staff love what they do, the dogs and staff love each other, and the dogs love life when they're there. Not only do we not feel guilty leaving our dogs there, sometimes we plan quick weekend trips just so they can go there to hang out with the pack, get a little dirty and just be dogs. It is what they say it is. We are extremely grateful that we found Alpine Dog Ranch and recommend it to everyone looking for a boarding facility. The peace of mind you get is worth every penny, and it's more affordable than the local dog lockers! Thank you Alpine Dog Ranch!

I have been bringing our Golden Retriever to Alpine Dog Ranch for over 10 years now and it is the best place for a dog to run around freely from 8 -6 pm every day. We left her for 27 days this time and she enjoyed playing in the water near the waterfall they have, playing with the other dogs and enjoying being trained by Thomas if needed. Why would you have you dog stay in a cage when she can run around on huge lot and get some exercise. I highly recommend this place to anyone whom cares for their dogs.

Was glad I found this facility. My dog is not the type you put in a kennel and take on a walk every once in while, as is the style of many dog boarding facilities in the area. Alpine Dog provides quite a large property to let the dogs run free while at the same time ensuring safety and containment. Their prices were also quite reasonable. Many other facilities charged far more for doing far less.
