If you're a dog lover you know how difficult it is to leave your dog with anyone. However, Joel &…read moreAudrey are the exception to the rule. We've been comfortably using their service for years. We've never had an issue other than our boys expecting to have the same fun when they get home! As another reviewer said, the daily contact they provide sets our minds at ease, allowing us to enjoy our vacation fully. There are plenty of places closer to home but we travel the extra 40 minutes to have that kind of peace of mind. Without hesitation we recommend Aunt Aud's Sit, Stay & Play!!

I met Joe in Oceanside over a year ago.. I was waiting for a client we spoke while he was walking…read morea dog. He explained that the dog wasn't his, but that he and his wife Audrey were pet sitters. I was so impressed with his caring nature for a dog that wasn't his that I held onto his card. Fast forward a year later, I was called to go to a real estate conference out of town for several days and needed a sitter for my fur baby Darwin, a chihuahua mix, I instinctively called Aunt Aud's. Darwin and I went to Audrey and Joe's home to meet them in person. I felt comfortable leaving Darwin in Audrey and Joe's care. I received daily pictures of Darwin. He was so happy there. I was confident that he was in good hands. I came home a day early and offered to pay for Darwin because I had committed to an extra day of care and Audrey insisted that I NOT pay her. So beyond the excellent care my dog received, I can tell you that Audrey and Joe are the most sincere and caring and honest people you will meet!!!!

I've been using Beach Buds Doggy Daycare consistently for about 4 months now. My girl has…read moreattachment issues but is typically happier with other dogs. Coming in here, she definitely wasn't the easiest one to work with....and still isn't. She won't typically go potty inside because she's afraid of getting in trouble but is also picky about where she goes potty outside. She also loves to sit in the window and watch for when I come to get her, but of course then she doesn't gain much from the daycare experience. My dog is just plain NEEDY. In the beginning, she didn't seem to engage too much with the other dogs, maybe only briefly. But now that she's had about 15 days total there, she's got her friends. From my point of view, it took her 10 days of going before she learned to love it, she's always a hard sell when it doesn't involve mommy. Now she runs to the door to go inside, no second thoughts about going in. I know she clearly really loves the owner, Derek, which isn't a very easy thing for her to do. Most of the other workers are caring and friendly, I've seen some that pull a little too much on her collar, but it's a bit more rare. I love the options of 7-7, so if I have longer work days I won't feel guilty if she is there maybe 10 hours or more. Drop off and pick up are pretty easy, parking can be difficult in the evening of course. While, yes, they do not have a large space nor a large yard, I know my girl gets a lot from doggy day care. She comes home absolutely pooped from her day, she's better about going potty at the daycare (sometimes she still holds it), and she continues to have positive interactions with dogs of all sizes. I think it's important that small and large dogs spend time together so they can learn the dynamics of greeting, playing, or just being present together under supervised care. The website for booking is easy to use and you get an email reminder on the day you have a reservation. Aside from the cameras where you can stare at your dog for all too long, you can also follow their Instagram or facebook for some sweet shots of your pups while you're at work. Maybe one day they could end up with a larger location, but overall, I think there's a lot for a pup to gain here...as well as the owner. Nothing like having a free evening not having to walk your pup!

I drop off My Sergeant (5 month old rescue puppy) before work. I get to check in on him all day via the live cam.

When I see my puppy playing with confidence & socializing with all dogs big and small. I feel so proud. He is happy & well exercised. My nights after doggie daycare are more calm & I get to really enjoy my great puppy who has just had the best day!!!! PS They even have drop off service. It rocks !!!!

The owner or cashier (an older silver haired male) stood with his arms folded and watched us in silence as if we were going to steal the puppies. He continued to stare as we got back into our car from the door of the shop. There was also a young lady who was working in the back of the shop (perhaps she was a tech or assists with grooming) she also stared at us until I asked a question about the number of dogs they carry. To speak to us was like dental implant surgery. Kindness can go a long way but not here. Perhaps they didn't believe they would gain any business from us due to preconceived notions built on racism and for that, they are absolutely correct.
