We recently had an opportunity to go on an Alaskan cruise but almost turned it down because it seemed that all our friends were also going out of town at the same time and we needed someone to watch our kitty, River. We spoke to our vet and she highly recommended Decadent Dog. We've NEVER let a stranger into our home while we were away and certainly never let one in change of our baby's wellbeing. River is a very skittish and untrusting kitty and we were sick about leaving her. We were very close to canceling our trip, but our fears we're quickly quashed when we called and spoke to Sam. We let him know that River was grieving the sudden loss of her sister from a few months ago and she had some separation anxiety issues. Sam talked to us about ways that we could help make her feel more secure and talked with us at length about his experience with cats. We had Sam and Robyn come over and meet River. It's immediately apparent that they love animals and truly care about their feelings. Robyn is one of the only women we've ever seen River take a liking too and River thought Sam was "the cat's meow" immediately. We felt much more at ease about leaving her in their care. While we were gone, we got daily updates on how River was doing. This made us feel like we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We felt comfortable and secure that she was being well taken care of. Every day they made sure that River had fresh water, a full food bowl, and a clean litter box. We are very grateful to Decadent Dog for taking care of our pet while she was in a bit of a fragile state and making sure she knew humans hadn't abandoned her. We highly recommend them and will certainly be using their services again. It seems every Christmas season we have to plan our trip around when friends will be available to watch the cat. This year things will be so much easier now that we know about Decadent Dog and can be as comfortable leaving River in their care as we are in leaving her with our best friends. -Rachelle & Blake (Torrey Hills) read more

I love my doggies and was very concerned that they be in good hands while I went on a trip to Mexico. I contacted Decadent Dog and since the very beginning, Sam was very accommodating and made sure I felt comfortable with everything, including the pet sitter taking care of my dogs. Rob was wonderful! I could tell he honestly loves animals and my doggies took to him immediately. During my trip Rob daily sent me pictures of my doggies and let me know how they where doing, this always brought a big bright smile to my heart. I felt at ease, comfortable and secure that my dogs where in very loving and capable hands. To be honest, on my return, I was a little concerned that my doggies would have as good a time with me as they had had with their fun "uncle Robbie". I am very grateful to have connected with Decadent Dog, Sam and Rob, and will definitely be using their services again. I highly recommend Decadent Dog :) Yours truly, Sheema read more

Rob and his whole staff are so amazing at what they do. They truly care about the health and safety of your animals just as their own. They have been doing this forever and it shows. Their clients including me have been using them to watch our beloved pets for many years. I have never met a group of people who care so much about their clients and their pets. Rob isn't a salesman anymore because that wasn't his true calling, he is now doing what he does best taking the best possible care for peoples animals which are like our children. He has created an amazing business and his re occurring and long lasting clients show that. Being able to call him last minute and know my precious puppy will have the best care is an amazing felling, I couldn't ask for anything better than what they do for me and my pet. read more

Decadent Dog is absolutely top notch. I have been using Rob's services for more than 7 years and trust him and his team completely with my 3 dogs. This includes daily house visits as well as overnight stays. My dogs are not only pets but also nationally competitive agility dogs. I am extremely particular about their care. Rob has called me when my flight was delayed to see if he needed to go back for a visit late at night. He has called me to make sure I got home when i was running late. I get informative notes left for each visit as well as calls if there is a problem and text updates, often with pictures. And my dogs absolutely ADORE him because he's fun, including one shy, rescued dog who goes nuts when she sees him. That says it all. read more

Sam and Katie have been the best!!! I was new to the area and my husband was on deployment when I moved. I asked my leasing office if they could recommend anyone and they instantly said Decant Dog. We had a meet and greet and they spend time getting to know my little schnauzer. When we brought my other dog from Texas they were over the same weekend to meet him as well!!! There respond time to help and take care of my dogs is incredible!! I was in the hospital and was able to send a quick text and they were there in the hour to take care of my fur babies!!! My best part of my day now is getting picture text of my dogs in the sun enjoying their time with the walkers!! read more

Thank you Sam and Robyn for taking great care of our cats, Meatball and Cookie, when we were on road-trips! Sam and Robyn are knowledgeable and experienced animal lovers. Meatball and Cookie absolutely love them. They are very flexible with time - accepts last minute appointments. They follow our cats' routine perfectly and via text messages, they send updates, photos and videos daily - which we appreciate so much. While we were away from home, we knew that we didn't have to worry about anything because the cats are in good hands! Thank you for the Christmas present! Meatball and Cookie love love love them! read more

From all I am able to tell, based on my dogs' experiences with the service, they were well cared for, given their medications, and fed and watered as per my instructions. Careful notations appeared in a little notebook provided by The Decadent Dog, and photos and texts were sent to allay my concerns while we were away. In addition, all the dogs appeared relaxed upon our return and not freaked out or craving of attention as with our previous, former pet sitter. I am very critical and demanding and am satisfied my dogs thus far are receiving good care with Rob and Rachel of The Decadent Dog. read more

We are new to San Diego and found amazing support in Decadent Dog! Sam and Robert are both a pleasure to work with; always friendly, accommodating and reliable. Goes without saying that our dog loves them. Sam and Robert clearly love animals and take great care of them. They seem genuinely happy to take care of our dog and are attentive to his needs (always bring water for him, etc.). They are also respectful in washing him off after a good run at the dog beach! We are so appreciative of their continued support here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone!! read more

Thank you to Sam & Rob for relieving all of our worries and making our vacation to Mexico perfect! We RV full time so finding someone in a new area that would come and stay in our RV and see after our two aging, medicated pets with such love and attention was a miracle. Thank you Rob for making such good friends with our cranky, stubborn dog and anxiety ridden cat! Rob had the cat sleeping with him! She normally hides when anyone comes in. Again, thank you! We will be telling everyone about you and I am posting your card at the San Diego Metro KOA. ~RalphnMargo read more

Decadent Dog is a life saver! I got a new puppy this summer and I am the classic fussy doggy mommy. I hate leaving her and actually feel guilty. Thanks to DD and their team especially their walkers Julie and Sam and the owner Rob, my pup is happy, loved and well exercised even when i'm at work or have to be away. I use them every week to come visit my pup in my home, walk her in my neighborhood and also to take her on outings with other dogs they care for. I love it. They are 100% safe and reliable. They truly love my dog and treat her like one of their own. read more

I love Rob, and more importantly my think the sun rises and falls with him! He is a true animal lover. Rob is also well informed on many dog topics. I trust him with my dog (and I trust very few people to love her as much as I do). I have met several of his staff and find them just as wonderful. Many of them are certified in pet first aid and CPR (a class Rob also teaches). WOW! He also won National Dog Walker of the Year. What more can I say about him? Use this service. You won't be disappointed! read more

Rob has taken care of my dogs for more than 8 years. When our older dog died, Rob was deeply affected as he loved her. Our two current dogs adore him. They go for runs; he is dependably there when he says he will be, and the dogs always come back happy. He checks to be sure that they have water; he always is sure to leave them and our house in great shape. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with his or his team's work. read more

As a professional dog trainer in San Diego, I fully understand that dog owners can get overwhelmed by the sheer number of dog companies out there and have trouble knowing which one is the best. Well I can attest that Decadent Dog is the best! Sam, Robyn, and Rob are extremely compassionate, dedicated, and trustworthy. I've never met people that care about animals more than they do! You will love them and so will your pets! read more

I highly recommend Decadent Dog! Sam is awesome and my pups love him! Even my Shiba Inu (who is usually very aggressive towards new people) was snuggling with him! You can tell that Sam really cares for the dogs and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and cared for. I'm also impressed with his professionalism and how he always checks in with updates and pictures of the pups. Thanks Sam! read more

Have used rob and his decadent dog team multiple times and they are by far and away the most responsible animal lovers in the industry. Hugh's review is a farce and why would he need to pay someone when his neighbors come by anyway hmmm? Mentioning that he is a former sales guy highlights this review is BS. never met a bigger animal lover in my life than Rob. read more

Sam walks my two boys every Thursday and we have even hired him to spend the weekend in our home one week end while we went away...Our two dogs LOVE him, they look forward to his visits and run to him when they see him. This was our first Doggy sitting experience for us and it has been so much more than we ever hoped for!! Thank you Sam! Robin in UTC read more

I have used Decadent Dog for about 8 years. They have taken EXCELLENT care of my dogs every time. They come when they say they will. Once, I had to leave town unexpectedly, and they came to care for the dogs on a moment's notice. When our old dog died, I do not know who was more upset, my husband and me or the people at Decadent Dog. read more
