After careful research and deliberation I finally chose "We Serve Pets". They were amazing, from the patience that they expressed on the phone when I initially contacted them all the way to the actual care of my puppy. As soon as I told them that I have a tight schedule between flights and classes they eve offered to pick him up and drop him off!! They set my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my weekend, knowing that my energetic Diego was in good hands. He was returned home happy, tired and even came with some new tricks. I'm so happy to have found them!!!

As I sit here and I write this, I am in tears. I was expecting to get home from my trip and pick up…read moremy girl only to find out that they adopted her out to what was supposed to be a temporary foster while I was away. They said that they did it because I asked the size of the mother and discussed the potential size of the puppy. I just think that's kind of weird. I thought you were supposed to ask a lot of questions when you adopted a dog we are semi retired and home all the time we have a large property in El Cajon with large fenced in area. I video taped my entire property for them to view. In addition, we also own another property in Arizona. We are in a very good place to have a pet we've adopted many times from shelters sometimes across the country! I've even paid for dogs to be sent to me from rural shelters in Mississippi to save their lives . I have never gone through the mental anguish as I have gone through dealing with this rescue. The emotional drama of going back-and-forth with them over the last couple weeks has absolutely worn me down. My heart is broken and I am crying. It is very emotional... certainly, they must realize that people to get very attached when they are about to adopt a puppy. These folks that I had to deal with had no compassion or humanity as to the pain that I am feeling. The foster mom Lesley was amazing, compassionate and kind. I wish I could've just out directly with her. I was told that they would notify me if anything changed that there were no applications for the dog that I wanted. I asked for the ZELLE to pay them. They told me not to rush that there were no other applications and that they would let me know if anything changed. Well, they did not; they simply adopted the dog out to what was supposed to be a temporary foster. My heart is absolutely broken. I am crushed to the core. Please be careful dealing with this rescue group. I understand that they are all just volunteers, but certainly they must understand that people become attached . when I expressed how upset I was and that I couldn't understand how this happened. They basically told me to put my adoption process on hold which I think means they won't allow me to adopt from them. I don't know. I guess there's other puppies that are available from that same litter. I was not aware. I thought they were all adopted, but I don't think that they will allow them to be adopted to me . Essentially they would rather have the dogs never find a home rather than to be adopted to someone who really wants the dog. Pretty absolutely amazing if you ask me. They also were very against me fostering to adopt, however, allowed someone else to foster her and after five or six days, they apparently decided to adopt her. They had initially told me that the foster did not intend to adopt her and that I could pick her up when I got back from Arizona. Today, I leave to go home to San Diego and I am so sad because I won't be able to pick up my girl... I hope the person that has her gives her a good and can give her an amazing life . I will not have that opportunity.

I signed up for the puppy start up training back in March of 2025, The lady who signed me up was…read morevery nice and I appreciate her help and answered all of my questions but then the day of meeting the training came, her name was Alex, and all I gotta say is, she's a terrible trainer and very bad at communicating and assisting with anything related to my dog. Once the 4 weeks were done, I had a very difficult time to reach her and ask about helping me control my dog during the walks I would give him, the issue continued and stop never gave a real solution and she began to ignore my calls or texts. I have tried to reach out to someone about getting a new trainer but now my phone calls are being ignored, so after spending almost $4,000 dollars, I would highly advise to get a better company if you need assistance in training your dog or puppy or better yet, watching Youtube videos for free instead wasting my money on a company like this. What a terrible experience. -Awful customer service -Terrible people pretending to be trainers, -Ignoring the customers once they get the money.

She's been walking our pup for over 6 years. It is so reassuring for us that we have someone we trust and is great at her job to be there for our dog. My husband also doesn't plan in advance very often and it always amazes me how Christine will always be there for us. She has saved us more times than we can count. Christine is also extremely professional, prompt and reliable. The service is affordable and it makes so much more sense than a kennel. You get emailed when the visit starts, when it ends and photos of your dog on the walk. If you're looking for a new dog walker or thinking about trying one out - def give Pooch Patrol a call. You will be more than happy. Thank you for everything, Christine!

We adopted a dog from this place that was supposedly in good health and great with kids and dogs…read more The dog seemed fine when we met her so we took her home she seemed to be in some Pain with gentle Petting and bit my toddler after he per her , I'm assuming she had arthritis or a past injury. She didn't break the skin but it was enough warrant us returning her. We also took her to the vet who discovered her ears were very badly infected to the point where she was in tremendous pain , but she was so skittish we couldn't get near her to medicate them. I understand dogs can be different once brought into a new environment but my problem with this rescue is the lack of medical care and evaluating of the dogs behavior prior to adopting. If they could improve on these things they would probably be a great rescue. I'm sure the owner has good intentions and probably cares for the dogs.

We had just started working with a trainer to work out a couple kinks before we left and I was expecting to have to remind him of his manners. I was so pleased to find that with Cesar's patient and calm handling of my boy he really helped reinforce all the training we'd done and he was just perfect. They were kind enough to come in the early morning so that it wouldn't be too hot. And it was also a good peace of mind to have someone looking in on my mom while we were gone. An added bonus is they send daily updates and photos through the portal which does a lot for me as I get dog sick the minute I get in the plane. Can't recommend them enough!!!

They send me pictures of them on their walks and let me know how the dogs are doing. SO comforting when I'm at work worrying about them. I work evening shifts and I am grateful they are able to accommodate my weird hours. They are quick to respond when requesting walks with their easy to use website. They have affordable pricing and are very professional starting with the first meeting when Lis gets to know your pups. I am so grateful for their help and grateful to know my dogs are content when I get home. If you want a safe, reliable dog walker, Lis and Cesar are perfect for your fur babies!
