    Looking for an amazing sanctuary where your dog can play and live their best lives? Your search is over... Emily and everyone at Down to Earth dogs are incredible! My dog, Vita, played there while I was out of the country, being a special needs dog (aka requiring medication for a chronic condition), that was no problem for them and as you can see by the photos, she thrived there..almost not wanting to come home when I came to pick her up...doggie daycare/socialization when you, or them, need a break? Yep.. they do that too. Definitely check them out...maybe Vita will make even more new friends!

    The only place I trust with my pup! We are so lucky to have found DTE dogs. They take such good care of my dog and show attention to detail by being observant care takers while we are away. It really gives me peace of mind to know she is happy and safe. They have multiple play areas outside and the dogs also have designated rest time, which sets them apart from other dog care centers. They also send photos nearly every day which makes my heart melt when I am away from my girl.

    We took our two year old puppy to Down to Earth Dogs over the holidays and couldn't be happier with them. It's obvious Emily and her daughter love animals and treat any pets that are staying with them as their own. We received multiple text updates per day about our dog, often accompanied by hilarious photos of him enjoying himself with the other dogs. Not sure how Emily manages to capture such funny moments all the time haha! If you're looking for a place with a more personalized care experience for your dog, Down to Earth Dogs is definitely the place. Highly recommended!

    Amazing daycare and boarding in home environment. Emily cares deeply about all her daycare pups and is very patient and kind. I have had two dogs enrolled in daycare, and they always came home exhausted. Your dog kids will have a blast. Small play groups and divided yard space plus enrichment toys and experiences. Clean calming beautiful environment.

    I cannot recommend Down to Earth Dogs enough! Emily, Bella and Drew are the absolute best and I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could! My dog has been attending daycare with them twice a week for about a year and a half and it's the best part of his week. They take such good care of him like he's one of their own! They send the cutest photos of him with the other dogs each day he's there. They even went above and beyond for his bday! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog and I'm sure he feels the same!

    I call this photo the "album cover".

    As someone who lives with a senior dog, I take my loyal canine companion's boarding experiences seriously. I don't like picturing him alone all day, nor does the idea of him trying to keep up with a roomful of much younger dogs seem like the right choice. I was pleased to find Emily and her Down to Earth approach this year. She's got a nice vibe...a home-based setting but with extensive outdoor options, and a nice balance of a comfortably socialized experience for the dogs that is not over stimulating. She herself has good intuition for a dog's state and needs, and she keeps herself very easy to reach. Plus, fun bonus is she and her small team send the best photos that really capture dog personalities well. My dog would definitely make it easy for me to know if he was not happy there -- this little dude would sit in the road across the street and have to be picked up if he had any reluctance -- but he contentedly trots onto the property when he arrives. I trust Emily, and know she has her eyes on my 13-year-old little buddy. Since I tend to worry about my dog as he ages, I appreciate knowing that he's in a comfy home-like environment and has a nice blend of rest and fun while he's there.

    Emily and Bella at Down to Earth Dogs are absolutely the best. They take such good care of all of the dogs and I know that my big Cane Corso is safe while he's there. Emily makes sure that he gets breaks/rest when appropriate, he swims, he gets lots of love and comes home so happy and exhausted. Emily and Bella send pictures/videos throughout the day and always give me detailed updates when he's picked up. I feel completely comfortable with Goosey being there. He's a huge dog, but Emily and Bella are very knowledgeable with dog training of pups of all sizes. I won't bring Goosey anywhere else!

    We have been using Down To Earth dogs for several years and for every vacation we take! Emily and Bella are so great with our pups. We recently left for 2 weeks and where so at ease knowing Baja was in good hands. We highly recommend them. Baja is so excited every time we pull up which is a great sign!

    Our Huck has been going to Down to Earth Dogs for the past 5 years - for both daycare and boarding when we go out of town. He absolutely loves it there and I fully trust Emily, Bella and Drew to take great care of him. I love the personal touch that they provide as opposed to the big facilities; pickups and dropoffs are super easy and convenient. I wouldn't take Huck anywhere else!

    We love bringing our dog to Down to Earth dogs! He is well cared for, gets lots of play time, and we get pictures daily :). Our pup comes home happy and tired after a day of play. Our dog previously had very little socialization and now he is so comfortable and loving his new friends. I can't say enough good things about this doggy daycare service!

    I can not recommend Emily enough!! I am so thankful for finding her and am beyond happy with how well she cared for the newest member of our family. We came down to San Diego from Seattle for vacation and somehow ended up falling in love with a 4 month old Westie puppy we named Benny, and added him to our family. Most places do require a quick visit to ensure the dog will be a good fit which I recommend and get, however we were in a pinch and I called first thing in the morning. She asked for shot records and his temperament and did let me know she generally does a meet and greet to ensure it's a good fit but would take him for the day, as long as we promised to come get him if it ended up not working. I texted over the shot records and we were set. The location is in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac. She informed us she had 5 different yards in the backyard and would see how he did with other dogs. As a mom to four kids, and fur mommy to now 2, I felt at ease with handing over Benny to Emily. Within an hour or so, she had texted over a photo of him, and sent photos thru out the day of his different activities. I was beyond amazed at her communication, knowledge and her genuine care for our fur baby. She was informative and very friendly. The only downside is she is here in San Diego and not Seattle, so locals you are extremely lucky to have such a gem to watch over your pets. We will definitely be utilizing her services again next summer! Thanks!!

    I had a new puppy who I was crating during the day and coming home from work after a few hours to let out to go potty. This was becoming too much to have to leave work everyday. Plus the guilt I was feeling leaving her crated all day long at such a young age. This started my research on doggie daycares for my baby girl. I had found some places that had over 100 dogs and that worried me since she was so young and small. I came across Down to Earth Dogs and OMG I am so happy! When I reached out to Emily to see if she had space she was getting ready to go out of town for a month and did everything she could to fit me in to do a meet and greet. The second I met Emily she was so welcoming and you could tell she has been doing this for a long time. I love how "homey" the environment felt the second I walked in. She has 15 dogs max and to me that made up my mind. I was able to do a trial day and my puppy did amazing. She came home and passed out. Signed up right then and there to do 3 days a week. Every time I go to drop off my baby she gets excited to see whoever is receiving her. They even send me photos everyday of her playing and interacting with the other dogs. Emily cares so much about her doggie daycare and is always willing to give advice if needed. She also makes sure to put the dogs interest first in situations. I can not recommend this place enough. If you are looking for amazing care for your fur baby while you are away then look no further than Down to Earth Dogs. They are really accommodating if I need to switch or add days. I love when I come to pick her up and seeing her realize it is my car and how happy she is. The ladies always have such cute things to say about her. I can sigh in relief knowing she is taken care of like she was their own dog. I am so thankful to have found them and will probably be attending for years to come. My baby even has her litter mate attend as drop ins, which is even more fun. Thank you Down to Earth Dogs for being so amazing! It says a lot when you trust a member of your family with someone.

Walter is our new English Bulldog pupperoni (11 months) who loves to be around other dogs, though still learning Ps and Qs. We wanted to find a new daycare for them and came across this lovely place on yelp. I emailed them to set up a visit and they were very nice and accommodating. Everyone is sweet, you can tell they love our animals and they are professional. We stopped in on a Saturday morning and were able to check out the play area from the window in the lobby (also watched the video on their website) and they let us into the suites area since there were no dogs in there. When Ruth stays for the day, she stays in their suite and probably loves the break from Walter. Walter goes into the playgroup with the other pups. They asked for all the vaccinations and will ask for updated vaccines as well, which we love and feel very comfortable with. We know we stay up to date with everything and we want to be sure our pups are around other pups that have everything updated as well. We love the report cards. Especially since Walter is so young, we like to see how he is doing with the other dogs. I added some of the pics from their recent visit. Just look how happy he is and Ruth loves the big suite and comfy bed. We are very happy with this wonderful daycare.

I was referred to Precious Pet Care by a dog trainer I know. I was interested in their Golden Overnight Care services, a 24-hour service where the sitter is with my babies all day! In particular, my dogs are extremely attached as they are used to coming to work with me and generally being around me 24/7, so this type of sitter service was a must! I was given a link to request a meet & greet and schedule the days a sitter was needed in my home and met with my assigned sitter, Kate, prior to my requested days. Ever the worrier about my dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs that I would be apart from, Kate handled my bombarding her with information in good stride. During my vacation, I was pleased to see that she sent numerous photos, videos, and updates daily! Kate made me feel completely at ease while I was away and was such a great communicator. Upon my return, all my critters were happy, and the house was neat and clean! Kate made sure to take the trash out and clean up after herself as well. Truly a 5-star experience! I would highly recommend their Golden Overnight Care services to anyone who wants to enjoy peace of mind on their next getaway! Thank you to Leila, Kate, and the entire Precious Pet Care Team!
