Pet Sitters in Ranchita

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 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!

We were so glad we found Precious Pets. They were able to take us last minute while we were traveling from out of town. Our little doggy clearly had fun and was well cared for.

My dog is always happy to go to Sue's house. He has so much fun with his friends and is always excited to play with them. Sue is very flexible and made my life easier with my constantly changing schedule. Prices are very reasonable and she will treat your dog like her own. She made putting my dog in daycare stress free and easy. Highly recommended.

Sue comes to take care of all my babies and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do this important job. She also has daycare and boarding in her home and when I need that extra care my babies seem very relaxed just as if they were at home.

They don’t accept all kinds of dogs. They are not all aggressive and they rejected a sweetheart today just because she’s a pitty. This broke my heart to know there are people like them who would judge her for what she is.

Toby gets excited every time we get here so he gets to visit his friends!

Very sweet lady and sweeter dog pack!

Sue specializes in smaller breeds at her doggy day care. Her home and large yard are kept clean and secure. The dogs are very happy to go there, and play with their friends.

First, Amanda and her crew are amazing people and take very good care of our lil fur babies when where out of town. Secondly, our fur babies are always tired after there vacation from pets playhouse. Thanks again pets playhouse for all you do with our babies!

My dog came home with a cut on her eye lid. She had something green in her fur and she was very thirsty & exhausted. I'm not sure what went on there but I would say it's a very sketchy situation & I would never board her again at this place.

Here's the review: Amanda is an amazing dog sitter and treats my Berkeley as if he was her own. She creates a great and safe atmosphere for the dogs and has a nice house to dog sit. The best thing about Amanda is her accommodations. She accommodates and rearranges her schedule to match mine. I recommend Amanda to anyone who wants their fur baby to feel safe and have a great time

My dog absolutely loves Pets Playhouse! He attends full-time and it is the best decision I have ever made. Amanda is so good with all of her fur babies! my dog gets so excited in the car knowing that we are headed there. He has so many friends and he is not stuck at home by himself all day while I'm at work. I highly recommend Pets Playhouse to anyone who wants their dog to be in a positive, playfull and safe environment. Amanda is also very accommodating when it comes to pick up and drop of times. With my job my schedule changes quite a bit and I have never had any problems!

Amanda is amazing! Her love of animals shows! If you want your fur babies taken care of as if they never left home you are in the right place! She will treat you and your pets like family so you can enjoy your time away without worry.

I took my dog Mami to Pets Playhouse while I was on a business trip. Amanda was amazing. She cared for my little buddy as if she were her own dog. My dog was well cared for, happy and content when I picked her up. I'm a frequent traveler and will be using Amanda's pet sitting services in the future.

Amanda and her family take amazing care of our golden doodle when we are out of town! So much better than boarding with a kennel! The dogs are well loved in a family environment. Thanks Amanda.

My Poodle Noodle loves Amanda and her family. I think he loves them more than me lol. I started a new job where I work from home most days. I thought he could stay home with me on those days, well he cried all day long! Now I work from home and he goes to Doggie daycare 💁‍♀️ As long as he is happy!

Amanda was reliable first few times using her to watch my dog Louie. This last time she said she could watch him and we were just trying to narrow down a drop off time then she said she forgot that she was going out of town for the weekend.so she could now not watch him. Definitely unprofessional won't use again.

We just love Amanda & her family. They treat our little senior guy as their own, they are very flexible & I completely trust them. Thank you so much for taking care of our Butter!

Kritter Kamp is a HIGHLY professional kennel and boarding facility in the heart of the beautiful Ramona valleys. Nestled amongst quiet stream, ancient oak trees, country quiet! The calm Eddie and Joe, their staff who greeted us, instantly made our nervous Nellie's feel calm and accepted. They truly are doggy whisperer! We saw all sizes of doggies enjoying the facilities, from Great Pyranese to tiny doggies. Because they are so excellent, they do book up early so I would say DO YOUR PLANNING NOW! Kritter Kamp is THE best place to ha e doggy fun with confidence. My pups simply LOVE it!

I've been taking my aussie here for about a year now and have nothing but good things to say about this place! You can tell they really love the dogs. Eddie is the best. I was very apprehensive taking my pup to a boarding place when I first had to board her, but Eddie was very reassuring and took the time to show me the kennels and checks in with me throughout my dogs time there, and now I don't worry at all and know she's in good hands. My dog gets very excited when we pull into the driveway! Their prices are very reasonable too. I highly recommend this place!

My older dog Jerzey has stayed a few times. She absolutely loves it! She gets excited on the drive over because it’s like a vacation for her. The employees treat her as though she is their dog and I truly appreciate that! These people love animals!! This is the only place Jerzey will stay.

I care very much about my two dogs, and am careful about who I trust to care for them when I am away. Kritter Kamp Ramona is easily the best place for Kritter boarding I have ever seen.

This place is great. Was recommended by my brother in law. The people are great, kind and very helpful. We ran into a slight issue with pick up because I should have ask more questions. So totally my fault, but they were so nice about working with me. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing to house their dog for a few days. Also very good pricing.

I trust Dr. Anne and her staff to take fabulous care of my most-beloved chocolate lab, Jack. Separation anxiety aside (for us BOTH!), I know that Jack is in a safe place with fresh country air, friendly staff and "co-country-club attendees" who enjoy discussing the weather and how soon their people will be returning.

I started boarding my dogs with Kritter Kamp back in 2003 when I had a Great Pyrenees that managed to escape from whatever kennel I would take him to. Luckily Kritter Kamp specialized in big dogs and could accommodate his craziness for 12 years. Then we got an Aussie that was cautious of strangers; except when Jim (the owner) comes to the door, it’s pure love. Recently we had a trip planned for Europe for months and thought we may have to postpone since our Aussie was having major stomach issues right before we were about to leave. After getting him looked at by the vet, Jim was able to quarantine him with the vets okay and sent us a text 2 days later to tell us that he was doing fine. They also pick up and drop off from downtown San Diego and are priced comparable to others. We are so happy we found them. They are the best!

Jim and his family are wonderful. I leave on vacation knowing my animals are having a good time and receiving the best care in San Diego. I have been sending my animals to Kritter Kamp for 20 years. I highly recommend.

We've been using Kritter Kamp for years. They pick up and drop off which is really convenient. Jim is really nice and treats our dog like his own. Great place to board your dog.

Great place to board your dog! They've kept my mother's dog long-term, as my mother had to go into a home, for which I am eternally grateful!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and kind pet sitter, I highly recommend Zack and Yumi. Zack deserves 10 stars for being so patient with my cat Truffle. Truffle is sweet around me and my husband but can be anxious and disagreeable around pet sitters. Zack put up with her hissing (and sometimes even growling!) at him for most of the two weeks we were on vacation. He maintained a great attitude despite her unfriendliness. He sent us text updates and photos after each visit. He was calm and reassuring as we dealt with a stress-induced medical issue. We appreciated his lighthearted humor despite the challenging situation. He joked about how he and Truffle were bonding over their shared love of food. 😺 Slowly but surely, Zack won her over. Truffle ultimately rewarded Zack with her affection before we returned home. Hopefully, she’ll remember what a wonderful pet sitter Zack is and skip the grumpy cat routine next time we travel. Thank you, Encinitas Pet Sitting!

Zach and Yumi are very professional, trustworthy and responsible and their love of animals is evident from the first meeting. Our little Chihuahua-Pug mix warmed right up to them. They are very thorough in getting to know your dog and his/her unique personality so they can provide quality care. They provide pictures and updates so you never have to worry and are quick to respond to texts and phone calls. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.

Yumi and Zack are the most wonderful, caring, playful, affectionate, understanding, trustworthy and helpful dog sitters EVER! Our dog Jazz sayed with them for 3 and a half weeks and he came back to us with much better behavior. Yumi and Zack sent photos and videos every day to stay connected with our dog and to let us know how he was doing - he really bonded with them and we felt very happy that he was in such good hands. We will certainly contact Encintas Pet Sitting next time we go abroad, or need help with Jazz for any reason. Thanks Yumi and Zack.

Zak and Yumi are hands-down the best dog caregivers around. We have been using them for over a year now, and we will go no where else! Our little pup, Twig, is absolutely in love with them both and always comes home happy and calm. They are thorough, respectful, kind and absolutely love the pets they care for. We trust them implicitly with both Twig and our home. And most of all, Yumi and Zak are just absolutely lovely people. We cannot recommend their services enough. Your little furball will thank you!

My Havenese, Izzy, stayed with Yumi and Zack for 5 days. They are a super nice couple that genuinely love dogs. At our meet-and-greet, Izzy instantly felt comfortable in their presence. I enjoyed getting pictures of Izzy and texts from them describing her mood or activities. I will use them again and would recommend their services to a friend.

Encinitas Pet Sitting, Zack and Yumi have just looked after our dogs for the last two weeks while we were away and it has been a wonderfully comforting experience for both ourselves and the dogs. We have two 40 lb litter mates from Helen Woodward, very energetic 11/2 years old's. They got their daily walks, meals and loving attention, we got picks and videos daily showing us how the dogs were doing, this certainly gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy the break. Zack and Yumi stayed at the house, as we preferred to keep the dogs in there own environment, this worked out very well for us, two happy, excited dogs to great us on our arrival home. A reliable, honest, couple offering a valued service to our community. Adam & Moira and thanks from the furry ones Linus and Shroeder

My 11 months old puppy loves Zack and Yumi! I work from home most of the time but I have to go into the office once a week and I don’t like leaving my puppy at home alone. I’ve been a client of Encinitas Pet Sitting for about 7 months now and they are super flexible and reliable people. Best pet sitters in Encinitas for sure!

I've used Zack and Yumi for almost 5 years and wont use anyone else. I'm a hover pet parent and I feel no worry when I leave on vacation for a short amount of time, to a 12 day time frame. They send daily updates and pictures of your fur baby!

This guys are the most amazing and sweet couple. They really love what they do. We have the best experience when we went to travel and they take care of our two Cats: Donatella y Gianni. Every day updates, pictures, etc so that make us feel very happy and relax. We recommend Encinitas Pet Sitting because they love what they do.

I can't say enough about this wonderful husband and wife pet sitting team! Your pets are in good hands and the best part is you can be worry free while you're away.

North County Pet Sitting provides a terrific service. Rumi is super caring and took care of our 2 cats for 2 weeks. She communicates with you everyday and send tons of pics after each visit. I highly recommend extremely trustworthy pet sitting service.

My wife and I have 2 cats, and no family here in SD. Whenever we go out of town for any extended period of time, we always give Rumi with North County Pet Sitting a call. Rumi has always been available and more than willing to care for our pets while we are gone. Each time she visits, she always sends a picture or video and lets us know how our cats are doing. We have used their services for over 3 years now, and have always been pleased with their services and care. Strongly recommend!

We have had nothing but a wonderful experience with North County Pet Sitting. It's so reassuring to know your pet is well cared for while you are away for the day. We also have them take care of our bulldog when we go on trips for a week or more. We know our dog gets loved and cared for as if she's their own. They even pick our dog up and drop her off when we get back - what service! We also love that they can be flexible when needed. I ❤️this service and highly recommend!!!

Rumi has been taking great care of my cats for over a year now. She is super reliable and even makes sure she can be available at short notice when unexpected plans come up. Both of my cats need pills and/or supplements and Rumi is awesome and diligent about ensuring they have what is required every day. Very honest and reliable - highly recommend!!

If you need someone to care of your pets I highly recommend North County Pet Sitting! We used their service two weeks ago and very pleased with them. My dogs looked happy and I felt at ease while we were on vacation.

My dog, Lily, is very shy and she suffers from separation anxiety. Rumi always puts Lily at ease with her calm and friendly demeanor. It’s clear Lily genuinely enjoys spending time with Rumi! I highly recommend Rumi for all dog sitting services, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been using North County Pet Sitting for few years for my dogs. Very trustworthy and reliable. Highly recommend their services!

Wonderful service - she helped me out with last minute dog sitting. Responsive and responsible.

Boarded our two Chags. They came back happy and clean. Pick up and drop off service. Price was much lower than other services, especially if you are looking to board more than one pet.

Excellent job. Pets didn't even miss us!

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!

I can’t tell you how much we love Sari! She is so sweet and loving to our girls (two dogs and a cat) and we feel very safe leaving them in her care. She even brings them toys whenever we go on a trip. Our pets are so much happier being able to stay at home when we travel instead of being boarded. Every time we travel, we always make sure Sari is available before we book flights; there’s no one I trust more with our pets’ safety and well being.

We have seen Sari the Owner of MVPSS many times over the last few years walking other local residents Dogs in the neighborhood and was laways very impressed with her thorough and very detailed and careful approach to handling her clients dogs. We finally found an opportunity to hire her for 3 days to take care of our 10 year old Sheltie Max. We had never been seperated from him for almost 3 1/2 years so we were fairly hesistant to say the least is trusting anyone to care for him. Sari came over a few days before we left and spent a considerable amount of time taking very detailed notes on Max's behavioral traits and personality. She emailed us every day after every visit with him to let us know how he was doing, so we would not worry about him and when we returned she had left very detailed notes about all of her visits as well. We have no reservations at all in saying she runs the most professional Pet Sitting Service and deserves all the awards & recognition her business has received. She is a total professional and absolutely loves and has a passion for the animals she is entrusted to care for....Resonable Rates with a 5 Star Experience!!!

Mission Valley Pet Sitting is EXCELLENT. I learned this when they were booked and I had to find a different service. They go out of their way to earn your trust where others expect it’s easy for you to turn over your keys to a stranger. They took the time to verify all of their credentials and insurance beforehand. Sari and her staff are clearly animal lovers. My kitty is very skittish and they also made sure to find out exactly what works with her. Katherine seems to be able to pull her out of her shell where with other sitters she just hid the whole time. Katherine and Sari give detailed reports of each visit and send lots of pictures, all of which make me feel super comfortable with the care my kitty is getting while I’m gone (not to mention having strangers in my home!). I highly recommend their caring, conscientious services to anyone, especially if you’re skeptical about hiring pet sitters.

The owner, Sari, is absolutely wonderful and I wish she had been the one to be our designated dog walker. Jenna was assigned to our dog and we never had reason to believe that she wasn't doing a wonderful job until I saw her interact with our dog via a doggy camera. We've had the camera for over 2 months and never used it to check in on Jenna because we trusted her. Recently though, I was on break at work and wanted to check in on our dog since he was on a new medication and I wanted to see how he was doing. Jenna happened to walk through the doors a few minutes in and I was heartbroken to see what unfolded. Jenna entered the house and walked right past our dog. Never petting him once. She was there for a 30 minute visit to walk and feed our dog. She was outside with him for only 5 minutes and as soon as they got back inside, she walked right past our dog again to plop herself down on our couch where she stayed for the next 15+ minutes, glued to her phone and making herself way too comfortable. Not once looking over to our dog or to pet him or play with him. A few minutes before the 30 minutes were up, she put down his food, wrote her update, and left (again without petting our dog). Her note stated that our dog didn't eat while she was there and that "he did great!" Well it'd be pretty hard for any pet to eat their dinner while you're there if you don't give it to them until right before you leave! And was he so great because he just laid there and didn't demand attention? Allowing you to just lay there, doing whatever you want? I was so shocked to see this interaction. Jenna has been our dog walker for well over a year and I hope that this isn't how the majority of the visits went. Her completely ignoring our dog. Not ONCE did I see her pet him during the entire 30 minutes. I'd like to believe that this was a one time occurrence, but based on her body language and demeanor, this appeared to be her routine when coming to our house. I only gave the 3 stars because of Sari, the owner of the company. If Jenna is assigned to your pet, beware. Your pet might not receive the care they deserve! Jenna was always very flexible with scheduling which was a plus, but now I can't help but wonder if she was so lax because she took advantage of the time with our dog and viewed him as an "easy" visit. She certainly didn't put any energy into the visit I witnessed.

My aunt broke her hip and we live 125 miles from her so we hiredMVPS to provide daily care while my aunt recoperated in the hospital. I have been so impressed with how caring they are..always looking for solutions to make things better for the cat..I highly recommend their services

Sari has met all my expectations in the care of my cat. I have piece of mind when I have to leave my fury friend behind for a few days.

This is long overdue! Tale Of the Dog has been taking care of our two large dogs when we go on vacations, Olly and Bear, for several years now. We always get consistent picture and text updates of how they are doing when they stay. They are transparent in their pricing and availability, and always fair. The dogs have plenty of space to run and play, and they always have the best time. It's great knowing they are well taken care of and happy when my husband and I need to leave town. We honestly wouldn't board them anywhere else! If you are on the fence about where to board your dogs, let this review help you decide. You won't be disappointed at the level of quality care and communication here!

We left our dog, Maya, for 4 days while we went on a family get away. We were nervous at 1st because we had never boarded her before. We quickly realized we had nothing to be nervous about! Not only did we get daily updates and pictures but we truly felt like they smothered Maya with love and affection in our absence...and she made friends with the other dogs, too! The staff is so sweet and professional. We would recommend Tale of the Dog for boarding and daycare for anyone looking for good service and reasonable prices!

I HIGHLY recommend this facility! We left our pup here for TWENTY DAYS 😭 after our other arrangements fell through and by the second day staff was sending me videos that clearly showed he was NOT missing us at all! Because he loved the experience so much, we bring him for day care once a week. When I tell him he is “going to camp” he goes bananas and jumps in the car!

Best place for day care and shampoo your pet, huge play ground for dogs to run all day..

Excellent, professionally operated doggy daycare! The staff take such great care of my cattle dog! I highly recommend stopping in to take a tour . So well run, my pooch just loves playing here.

I am so thankful I found Tale of the Dog. I was initially nervous to leave her for a week but I had too. I took her for about 6 daycare trips to get used to the place and the staff updated me during the day on how she was doing and sent pictures. The week of boarding went smoothly and I am so relieved. They sent me updates and pictures every day. When I returned she seemed happy to see me and was obviously well cared for. The staff are all obvious dog lovers and friendly and kind people. I definitely recommend this place and I am typically a very picky and critical person when it comes to my kid's and animals.

So grateful for having this boarding place with reasonable size and wonderful staff. We boarded our two dogs recently, with one of them wearing a cone and needs special attention. Both dogs came home happy and healthy. Thank you!

We boarded our dog over a long weekend recently. He had a blast! They sent pictures frequently so we could see that he was playing and happy. We got a written report of who he played with, who he slept with, and how he ate. We plan to use Tale of the Dog on a regular basis for day care fun and socialization, as well as overnight boarding.

This in an incredible daycare/boarding. My dog (Chance) is a rescue. Very shy & unsure of a lot of things mainly other dogs and humans outside of my family. After his temperament evaluation a few daycare and boarding stays he is a different dog. He is so social and confident. He is learned new and appropriate dog behaviors. We now love getting to take him to dog beach where he runs and plays for as long as we let him. Tale of the Dog really made such a difference in our lives. I am so grateful for this team. The staff is incredibly understanding, responsive and caring. I get daily pictures and updates when Chance is with them putting my heart at ease. Knowing that Chance is in such good hands allows me the freedom to be fully present wherever I am. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you so much Tale of the Dog. Chance an I are forever grateful.

My dog came back happy and healthy after a three night stay. I got pictures and a video. The place is kennel free and has lots of space. It looks like they rotate the dogs through the yard, which is reasonable. The staff was really nice and very informative.

We love Best Friends Forever Pet Care! We require two daily visits, plus administering medication. It's no problem for Tanya. In addition to all of the good care, she takes the time to play with our cat and give him some attention. Also, our cat is very shy around people. He warmed right up to Tanya. When she comes over, he runs right out to see her. That is the only recommendation I need.

I would like to tell you of my wonderful experience with Tanya Rambo and her Best Friends Forever Pet Care Service. When my elderly parents' dog "Albert" developed diabetes and needed insulin injections twice a day we didn't know what we were going to do. Poor eyesight and other medical conditions made it impossible to manage his care. I contacted Tanya and she agreed to help---and she has! Every day,twice a day, seven days a week she appears like clockwork to administer his medicines. She is so organized, pleasant and caring. We counted on her and she was always there for us. Her love and concern for all animals is very obvious. We appreciate her reliability and professionalism. Just can't say enough positive things about Tanya. Your pets will be in the best of care with her. Carmel Mountain Ranch

Best friends has been great. Tanya has been taking care of our dog since 2008 when we moved to San Diego. She takes our dog on nice long walks, makes sure he has shade and water. We have trusted in our home and with our most important family member "our dog " :). I recommend her to many friends

Tanya Rambo has been taking care of our cat, Baby, for more than 5 years. She is consistently reliable, responsible and genuinely cares about our cat. She went out of her way to alert us about the recent spate of fires when we were out of town and helped us develop an evacuation plan for our cat. We highly recommend Tanya for pet sitting. Susan and John, May, 2014

Tanya at Best Friends Forever Pet Care has been pet sitting for us for 7 years and is the best. She is super reliable, loves our dogs so much (and everyone's dogs), and takes the best care of them while we are gone, always giving us updates throughout our trips. If you need pet sitting or walking And want your pets to be home (and not in a kennel!) I highly recommend her!!!!

I have never met this person or taken care of their fur baby.
