I have boarded my dogs here several times and always a good experience. I really like the webcam and check in on the dogs all the time, because I miss them so much! but I also notice that the staff is very attentive and keep the areas clean. I highly recommend. read more

I have to give this business some major credit for their customer satisfaction. I brought my dog here to have her groomed and was disappointed with the service. I left a review and the owner, John, called me as soon as he was aware of my problem and he and made things right. He is very friendly and sincerely apologized about that situation. It's hard to leave a pet you love in the hands of people you do not know, but after talking with the owner I am happy to say that I would feel very comfortable that my dog is in good hands! read more

The very best measure of Dogtopia is the glowing pleasure from your dog as you watch on camera while there, or their enthusiasm when you pull up in car and bring them to the door lto drop off and have fun with other furry cliets. Our dog Echo gives 5+ stars to Dogtopia for their loving care and outstanding staff. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! From the second my initial phone call inquiring about space for the day to the moment I walked out the door after picking up my pup from her fun-filled day at Dogtopia, everything about this place is just amazing! Diane helped me from start to finish, and who can say that about most business owners? She is so friendly and so caring, you get a great vibe from her and the place immediately. My puppy is almost 6 months old and is pretty shy, but she was patient and understanding with her and I felt completely at ease leaving her there. Dogtopia came highly recommended by one of my coworkers, so I wrote her name down as the referral. Diane read over the papers and immediately knew who I was talking about, remembered her dog, and also remembered the person who referred my coworker (also another coworker! lol). It takes someone who is really present and really cares to remember details with love like that. I got a whole day of cleaning and errand running done knowing that my dog was with caring, wonderful people outside getting fresh air and learning about interacting with lots of other dogs and people. I even got to watch her on the webcam while I was at home cleaning which was so fun (even though I didn't see much of her cause she was hiding haha). When I came to pick her up, they filled me in on how she did and the other lady there, I believe Diane's aunt (I'm not sure) was such an incredibly warm and sweet person, she gave my pup a treat and told me they had bonded which was so nice! And on top of that, I was only charged $20! INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough good things about this place, the people, the atmosphere. I am going to try to bring Nessie here once a week, or at least every other week. When we go away and need to find a place to keep her overnight, it will definitely, hands down be Dogtopia. read more

Dogtopia is new to town and is a nice change from its predecessor, the BLVD. The buildout is quite nice and has some great play areas for the dogs. There is a small dog room, large dog room and an outside patio play area. There is a lot of toys for dogs to play with. I've had my dog here once and she had a great time(she's a little shy). They give a nice report of how your dog did and everything. They have to evaluate your dog before they can stay there. As I said before, my dog is on the shy side and a bully could make her stay quite unenjoyable. I don't have to worry about her there. The owner and everyone else that I've met over there have been very nice. I believe the hours are 7-7 so they accomodate a long work day. Prices seem to be relatively reasonable. They also have toys and assorted collars, etc. to buy there. Highly recommended! read more

I love Dogtopia! My pup is always happy when coming and going. It is a great place for socializing her with other dogs and getting play and exercise while I'm away at work. The facility is clean and the prices are great! Cant beat $10 for a nail trim. The staff is wonderful! I am always greeted with enthusiasm and I know my dog is well cared for. Emily is so knowledgeable about dogs, training, and care. I can always count on her for good advice! read more

Warning - Do not bring your fearful, sensitive or timid dog here!! Had a really bad experience which resulted in my timid dog to become very stressed out and afraid of the staff. Otherwise, it was a very nice, clean, and good environment. I wished they use more positive reinforcement with dogs. read more

We just signed our Rescue puppy up for doggy daycare here and he will be doing puppy preschool here too! The staff couldn't be more caring and attentive! We are very happy with our decision to go here! His first day camp we even got a card with photos and info on how he did!! Highly recommend Dogtown Resort! read more

Dogtopia - Cash chillin on his new bed! - Pet Services Near Me - San Marcos, California

It's been a year now since I started bringing my dog Maya to Dogtopia. She loves it! I like because Maya can go hang with her other pack. Nothing tires out a dog more than another dog and here ther are a bunch of other dogs to play with. When traveling earlier this year, I had to board Maya several times. I could check her out on the webcams and Diane put up with my frequent calls to check up on my girl. Keep up the good work! read more

Rating based on my initial phone contact. Wow! Very friendly and accomodating over the phone. I spoke to Diane and asked if there was a multi-dog rate, since I have 4 dogs. She offered me a very nice multi-dog rate. I haven't been there yet, but will go up for a visit next week. If it is exactly as shown on the video, I already know that my dogs will love it. It will be worth the extra drive for the full days of play. I will update after I actually use it - but, I was so pleased with the phone conversation after talking/visiting/emailing so many different places over the last couple of weeks, that I wanted to post right away. read more

Flash back 8 months ago when I first brought my pup to Dogtopia. This was a few months after rescuing her from a shelter, and she had little socialization with other dogs besides basic training. She was on the hyper side, and loved to play a little too aggressively. So imagine this miniature muscle-bound beast with a pitt bull's head and a french bull dog's body, panting and pulling her leash through Dogtopia's doors for evaluation. Where other daycares might refuse her, Diane and her staff gave her a chance. Since that day, my dog has progressively gotten better in her interactions with other dogs, and developed a sense of calmness (though she still likes to play hard). Prices are great here (packages are worth it if you bring in your dog multiple times a month), and spa services are cheaper than most dog groomers. For moms and dads with separation anxiety, there are live web cams which monitor the dogs during play time. The staff always seems to be on hand, either to clean up or to play with the dogs. I've seen poop in action, and a minute later someone would come in to clean it up. Dogtopia is also very much involved in the community, recently raising money for animal charities through a dog wash event. That's good in my karma book! I can't thank Diane and her staff enough for taking care of my pup. They really do show the love. There's nothing more joyful than seeing my dog with a big smile on her big face when I pick her up. When my dog's happy, I'm happy. read more

Dogtown Resort is number one in my book! The staff are all very friendly, professional, compassionate, and attentive. My dog Benson loves going to day care here, and I feel relieved that I don't have worry about him being home alone for long hours. I really like that I can go on the Dogtown Resort website to watch him play with his dog friends, which is also reassuring. In addition, if you ever have any concerns, the staff will address them immediately and professionally. Thank you, Dogtown Resort! read more

We love this team! They clearly care about taking care of our dog. She loves going to day camp and we feel comfortable that she's in good hands. Everyone is awesome, especially Emily, Izzy, Hope, Megan, and Julie, and our dog loves them all. We've used the boarding services a few times, and have been able to relax when traveling knowing that our dog is safe and sound and happy in the caring hands of the Dogtown Resort team. The rates are reasonable, the facilities are clean and fun, and the people are knowledgeable and caring. The grooming services are also great and reasonably priced. Can't say enough about this awesome place. We know our dog loves it too by her excitement when we say, "Wanna go to camp!?" read more

My 10.5 month old puppy has been coming to Dogtopia since she was 5 months old. She absolutely loves her time and gets super-excited when we pull into the parking lot. She rushes into the door with not a backward glance or a "bye mom" and I smile from ear to ear because I know that she is excited to see her friends and she is in a safe environment (they divide up the dogs by size and temperament). I feel comfortable because I can watch her on the webcam. I see her playing and I see the staff members interacting with her, throwing a ball, chasing her around, petting her etc. When I pick her up she has learned to patiently sit for her farewell treat before she collapses with exhaustion in the backseat of my car. Diane and her staff are great. We have also used their boarding services with tremendous success. We also love all the little promotions they do every month - whether it is taking pictures of them dressed up in top hats and bow ties for St Patrick's Day, designing a gift for mother's day, or the Doggy Olympics this past August, Dogtopia tries to keep the daily program fresh and take care of their clients, both canine and human. read more

I can't say enough about Dogtopia. They're a lifesaver, giving me peace of mind every time I leave my dog with them. They take amazing care of the little fella, giving him hugs, love, and treats. He's so excited every time he comes to visit and is so happy (and exhausted!) at the end of the day. Their services are also amazing, including overnight stays, baths, and grooming. I couldn't be happier with Dogtopia and highly, highly recommend them. They're the best! Dogtopia is the best! read more

Our dog Maggie loves going to Dogtown. She gets excited every time we go by it on San Marcos Blvd. It makes leaving her when we go on vacation so easy as she is happy and we don't have to worry about her. The staff is wonderful and they really seem to care about the dogs.I highly recommend Dogtown to anyone looking for a place to board their dog. read more

My dog daisy doodle loves it here, she gets lots of attention from the room attendants and loves going in to see her friends I also like the convenience of the webcams! The staff are also really friendly. read more

Dogtopia - Daisy - Pet Services Near Me - San Marcos, California

Look no further if you're seeking a quality doggy day care for your best friend! I have been taking my dog here for training, daycare, and overnight stays for about 7 months. Although the business recently changed names, the entire staff is the same. These people are so wonderful! Emily and her staff are very trustworthy and reliable. I know that my dog will be well taken care of while I am away. For any type of question that I have ever asked, whether it be about the business or my dog's behaviors, each individual I have spoken to has always listened well and been able to assist me successfully. The best part is, it's not just me who gives this place five stars, but also my Aussie. She is always so excited to visit and enjoys playing all day with her pup pals. I originally started bringing her to Dogtown to encourage positive socialization skills. I believe our experience here at Dogtown has made a big difference for my dog and how she interacts with other animals and people when we are out in public. Highly recommend Dogtown! read more

Worse experience ever! Warning to anyone looking for a good dog groomer. We have a small 4lb Biewer Yorkie and we're looking for a new groomer. Found out about Dogtopia at the strawberry festival in Vista 2 wks ago & were told the groomer was excellent with 10 yrs. experience. The groomer was not there when we arrived, but we told the receptionist how we wanted her hair cut/styled and brought 2 large pictures of her after a fresh cut for them to follow as a reference. We couldn't believe how bad she looked when we picked her up 4 hrs. later. She cut her hair down to 1/8th of an inch, did a very poor, choppy cut and ruined her face hair. This cost us $55.00. I would NEVER take her back there. Hope this helps others from making the same mistake. I have additional information I want to share in fairness to this company. John, the owner saw my complaint on Yelp, called us apologizing for the errors made and is sending us a full refund of the $55 dollars paid. He stands behind his company and is taking steps to correct the problems. read more

We absolutely love Dogtopia. I feel so safe leaving our Yorkies in their care. Their prices are amazing as well. My favorite part is that Dogtopia has cameras everywhere so you can check in on your fur baby anytime. read more

We love this place, both my dog and myself! It is extremely convenient and trustworthy. My doggie can enjoy playing with friends, while I can relax and focus on vacation or work trips. read more

Today was our dogs first day at doggy dog care. We went last week for the initial exam and we're excited about the opportunity for our dog to be supported interacting with other dogs. We rescued our boxer about two months ago and she's very timid at first but once she warms up she's so sweet. We received a call today that she wouldn't be allowed back to doggy day care for three months because she was being aggressive towards other dogs and not listening when her name was called. We were pleased that dogtopia refunded us for our days we purchased and allowed her to stay until we could pick her up after work. We were disappointed to find out she was using her paw (very typical for boxers) to try and interact with other dogs this was displayed as aggressive. They then called her name to put her in the crate when I asked why I was told they use the crate as a time out. We were not informed of this at our initial visit and if we would've been we would have not gone here..we feel the crate should be a positive place where a dog can relax and have their own time. If punishment is associated with a crate it will have the opposite effect. We were also disappointed our dog wasn't given some time being her first day that can be quite exciting and overwhelming in all new surroundings. I would rate this three stars for the refund of our money and allowing our dog to stay but disappointed that we weren't really told all the information at the initial visit. read more

The staff at dogtopia is INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough good things about this place. We recently started taking our rescue pup here and she loves it. Every time we pull up she gets so excited. I love the accessibility to the web cams. All the staff take great pride in making sure the dogs feel comfortable and happy. They have fun events for the dogs too which is so cute. I will continue to bring our pup here and highly recommend you check them out if you haven't already. Thank you Dogtopia! read more

Love taking my pup there to socialize and make new friends! She's a rescue and wasn't very well socialized before we got her, so its been wonderful to watch her go from shy and awkward little thing to a social butterfly! read more

Last week Peaches and Sugar Boy once again enjoyed visiting Dogtopia of San Marcos! They recognized Diane's car and with both tails wagging, jumped right in. These Poodles are well traveled and never meet a stranger; however, Peaches is down right picky and Sugar Boy is selective about his friends. Diane Wheeler is their best out-of-town friend. We trust her with diabetic alert service dogs that are very valuable 'cause they really are life-savers. The Poodles love Diane & Dogtopia of San Marcos and so do we! Thanks for your continued good, hard work! We will definitely see you next time we are in Southern California. Best wishes, Paula & the Sugar Dogs Sugar Dogs International, Inc. www.SugarDogs.org read more

Just an update....the owner called and refunded the cost of the groom and day care at $100 toward the cost. The Vet and groom bill amounted to $254. The consideration covered at least part of the outgo for this groom. I've been also offered half off my next groom but I cannot see my going back with Clyde getting sick there. read more

I can't say enough about what a great job of grooming my poodle, Dogtopia does! I have taken her to 4 places over 11 years, but this is the best! Joy Oostra read more

We love Dogtopia and the vacation report they send home after our pup has been boarded. They include such adorable pics too. Knowing he is in caring and capable hands helps us feel better about leaving our dog when we need to go out of town. read more

We left our 3 year old female German Shepard here for doggy day car three days in a row, and she loved it! She came home completely exhausted and had a great time. The handlers seem very knowledgeable. We got a grooming package that included de shedding, and they did an amazing job as well! She was very soft and still smells good from the shampoo. The only downside is that during doggy day care they put the dogs in crates for feeding/nap time; so if your dog has crate anxiety, this might not be the place for him. We were overall very satisfied with the price and quality of the daycare. read more

What a pathetic excuse of a business. They do not have peoples dogs best interest in mind. They don't understand that dogs are like children and don't insure their safety while in their care. Run don't walk away from this business, and tell everyone you know to stay away if you care about your pet at all. read more

I love dogtopia! They treat dogs with love without nickel and diming you for everything--that reflects their love and passion for what they do, I've used other north county-coastal boarding, but have been a faithful customer of dogtopia for a while now. The others will charge you to give your pet love, attention and to socialize! There's no comparison to the quality of care for your pet that you get at dogtopia. They remember my dog, they hug her when she arrives and when she leaves, she gets to socialize with other dogs, and the last time I was picking her up, she wanted Amy to keep babying her and didn't want to leave!!! If you leave your dog here, be assured that it will be treated with love and TLC. This is a great place, and should be a model to all of the rest who are only in it for the money. read more

Friendly staff (esp Izzy and Emily), availability of daycare, grooming, boarding and vaccination services all in one place. Love!

This is my lab's favorite home away from home! She gets so much playtime with her friends. The owners and staff are so kind and caring. We wouldn't bring her anywhere else! read more

Oh Dogtopia! Where do I begin.....I took in my puppy Daniel in January and he loves it! The staff is very understanding and always there for me (I am helicopter doggy mom). They know all the dogs by name and are always warm and welcoming. On the first day they made sure to call me and let me know how my little boy was doing. I also love that I can watch him on the webcam to see him running around and playing with his friends. He always comes home tired and ready to sleep and when I do take him in he is running towards the door super excited. I also recommended a friend there recently and was super impressed by the way they treated her and her little one Milo. She was initially hesitant to bring her doggy in (he can get a little nervous in new environments) but after hearing my good experiences she gave it a try. Dogtopia was nice enough to reward me with two full days of free daycare and surprisingly Milo and Danny instantly connected. They were nice enough to even send us both home with a pamphlet of pictures of our doggies since they instantly became BFFF (best fury friends forever!). Thank you again Dogtopia for everything and for making my friend and her little one just as welcome as you made me feel. read more

Dogtopia people care about dogs. I really appreciate that they participate in the community, for example their dog wash fundraiser for PAWS. read more

I appreciate the friendliness and obvious love for dogs by the staff. I've got a golden doodle puppy, and I also really like the fact that they tell me if there's a little behavioral issue that crops up and what they're doing about it. Helps me in making sure my pup grows up to be a good dog. read more

Dogtopia San Marcos is excellent! Our pups love going and you don't even need to make an appointment. The dogs come home tired and happy after a day of fun. The fine folks at Dogtopia send them off with a treat and sometimes even a complimentary photo for the fridge. Definitely recommend! read more

Rooney LOVES Dogtopia! And Dogtopia loves Rooney. He gets so excited when we pull up and cant wait to be loved on when he goes in. Hes just a puppy, so teaching him how to act around other dogs is important and when his humans have to work all day, this is where he goes! You can watch on webcams all day, though i wouldnt suggest it if you are trying to be productive at work. It is too cute! You can bet Rooney will be going to daycare here a lot! read more
