I needed a daycare spot for my dog for a quick weekend trip to Carlsbad/Legoland and stumbled upon…read moreStaycation for Dogs. The staff here was always so helpful and quick to respond throughout the whole process. From the start, I was able to call a week in advance and get information, and when I realized I couldn't book online the day before, they were able to assist and get me in with no problem. Communication was top notch. On top of that, I don't board my dog often because he can be quite nervous around new people and new dogs. However, they were so reassuring the entire time. They sent me an update and a photo in the middle of the day to settle my nerves. When I went to pick him up, he was resting so comfortably next to them. The next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be using their services again! Thank you Staycation for Dogs!

Not only do we trust Shadalane for our future puppies forever, but they are also the ONLY people we trust to groom Rigatoni. They are incredibly patient, take their time, and always do a perfect job with our golden boy. The care, professionalism, and love they show is unmatched.

Recently, based on incredibly strong online reviews, we sought out Colean to watch our 6-year-old…read moreChihuahua mix. And, based on our great experience with her, we felt compelled to write our own glowing review of Colean. Briefly, our little guy is a new addition to our family and we were seeking a trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and kind dogsitter to occasionally watch him. We have never gone outside our family to have someone watch one of our pets. So, we were unsure whether Colean, or anybody (!), could provide the trust and care that we get with other family members. Very quickly, Colean earned our trust. She initially had us visit her house with our dog to see whether he had the right temperament to fit into her pet community. Luckily, our little guy did very well. And, ultimately, we entrusted Colean to watch him overnight on a recent trip. We received continual updates via text throughout the evening and the next morning until we picked him up. We feel fortunate to have someone of Colean's skill, passion and commitment to rely upon.

She was warmly met by Izzy, a worker, Ainsley wanted to go with her and (not even a goodbye)she was anxious to meet the other dogs. This facility is super clean and has large outside canopy covered areas separated for small and large dogs to play at various times during the day. They even had 2 inflatable pools for the dogs to splash around in. Ainsley passed her evaluation successfully. She felt at ease with the loving staff. the facility and the dogs there for the day or longer stays. Dogtopia was a perfect solution to where I will leave my dog, with confidence, for an overnight next week.

We hired Dogs on the Run to have our dog be part of our wedding day in June 2025, and I truly…read morecannot recommend them enough!! Especially our handler, Misty! From the very beginning, Misty was incredible. She carved out time weeks before the wedding for us to meet each other and talk about our dog's (Louie) temperament, our expectations, and the full game plan for the big day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was prepared and genuinely cared about making everything go smoothly. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She arrived early to the Airbnb and was able to get used to walking and handling Louie. She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us. She kept us updated via text throughout the day, and when it was time to drop him back off at our Airbnb in the evening, she sent photos and updates so we knew he was settled and happy. She even left us the sweetest wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Misty was kind, professional, organized, and clearly loves what she does. We are SO grateful for her and would absolutely book Dogs on the Run again. Highly, highly recommend!
