I was celebrating my birthday in SD from out of town with my partner and pup. Unfortunately, my…read morepartner didn't realize that dogs weren't allowed into the event that we were going to so I needed a last minute doggy daycare urgently!! I was so fortunate to stumble across Precious Pet Car on Yelp! Leila helped me through the whole process of signing up and booking and I was able to schedule a meet-n-greet and book a stay that same morning! Truly such a kind, responsive, and accommodating process. It was my first time ever sending my dog Mochi to a sitter and I was super anxious since he's already 10years old! The meet went even better than expected. The dog area was HUGE and there were so many toys and activity spots for the dogs to play or shaded areas to just rest. Shantae asked about my dog and explained the personalities of the other dogs that would be staying with him and I felt so reassured that Mochi would be just fine. A total bonus that I wasn't expecting was getting picture updates of Mochi having a blast! Seems like the old man got to have a little vacation on his own. Shantae informed me that he whined for a couple minutes after I left, which is normal, and how he got along with the smaller dogs and got to play with the water hose! Such fun surprises to me since he normally ignores little Dogs and water in general! I cannot recommend trusting your fur pets with Leila and her team more!! I was able to celebrate my birthday with ease knowing my dog was in good hands (possibly having more fun than even me!) When I'm down in SD again, I will definitely be utilizing Precious Pet Car services again! Thank you guys so much~

Finding an in-home sitter for all my critters is nerve-wracking, to say the least. After having a…read morebad experience with a self-employed sitter, spotty availability with another self-employed sitter, and then deciding not to travel altogether, Leila and her amazing team at Precious Pet Care showed me that their high standard of care meant I could be at ease and take vacations again! 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!

Now that I no longer live in my old place or in the area, I feel more comfortable writing this…read more Jeremy walked my dog for a few months after I moved to San Diego. He did a fine job, and I didn't have any major issues. My only issue in the beginning was that he told me AFTER our meet and greet that the time clock for walks starts when he walks into the building. I showed him the entrance closer to my place (which is right by the entrance), but he wasn't using that one at first. While I had wished that he communicated this during our meet and greet, I wasn't upset by it after we had established a steady routine. A few weeks/months after I settled into my new job, I had been granted the ability to work from home full time with a few occasional sporadic days in the office. I texted him to tell him that I won't need a walker after a certain date and explained that I'll be WFH. I even told him that I'd still like to reach out on days I'd have to be in-office. Later that day, he called to "ask" me what he did wrong. His tone was extremely confrontational and aggressive. I reiterated that I don't need a walker anymore because my situation had changed. He kept demanding an explanation. Honestly, I felt really put off by this. I had to tell him several times that it's because the situation had changed and it took multiple attempts to get him off the phone. He kept trying to push me because he didn't seem to believe me. Honestly, I don't care if he did. Before this conversation, I probably would have asked him to walk my dog on the days that I'd be in the office, but this made me so uncomfortable. Over the period of several months, he occasionally texted and/or called to ask me if we had any dog walking needs. I didn't answer, but eventually texted him to tell him that we did not. I understand his wanting a "reason" to try to improve. However, I gave him a reason. And even if I didn't, I don't necessarily owe him one to the point where he has to demand one repeatedly.

Jon is very responsive and communicative, and he shared videos of Ginger living her best life and playing with other dogs. She looked like she was having more fun than she does when I'm around! I fully trust Sunny Pets with Ginger's care and couldn't be more grateful that I found them. I'll continue booking with them going forward and highly recommend their services to other pet parents.

They were super accommodating, communicative, and they took the best care of our two dogs (who can be needy and a little high maintenance). One dog is a blind senior and the other one is a little anxious due to being a rescue. Each sitter took the time to make sure our pups were comfortable with them and followed the directions we laid out. They sent updates and pictures after every visit, which significantly calmed the helicopter pet parent in me. Special shoutout to Kennedy who became best buds with my usually shy, slow-to-warm-up dog! This was an amazing option to have instead of putting our dogs in boarding (which we all would have been unhappy with). They are great at providing mix-and-match options to keep cost in mind.

They have affordable pricing and are very professional starting with the first meeting when Lis gets to know your pups.

On the second day, we received a call saying there had been a dog attack involving Molly; that one of the other dogs that was also being boarded, had attaked her. Though Molly was taken to ER for her injuries, she did not survive the attack. We lost our angel in Doug's care. We discovered that it was one of Doug's own pets that had attacked Molly. Though we reported the attack to the police and the Humane Society. Doug had argued that his dog was fighting in self deffence. Our Molly was a 6 lb. Yorkie that was a service pet for senior care facilities. Doug's dog is a 78 lb. Lab. Really !?!? One of his assistants felt horrible about what happened and mentioned similar events as happening in the past. The staff member had also said most of the possitive reviews on Yelp are from mock accounts that Doug and his staff posted. Please do your own research before trusting you pet with him.

Until now, we hadn't had any major issues. Today, we had an appointment specifically for the rabies and parvo vaccines. After we got home, our dog vomited five times in a row. We called the clinic, and they had us come back in, where he was given two more injections to address the side effects. While on the way back, I reviewed the invoice and noticed that four vaccines had been administered, not just the two we had scheduled. When I asked why this wasn't communicated, the response was, "Next time, clarify which vaccines you want when you check in." I had already done that. The appointment was booked for two specific vaccines, and I clearly mentioned both at check-in. I was then told they automatically give all due vaccines unless otherwise instructed. If that's their policy, it was never clearly explained to me and I plan to review our past vaccination records to verify the vaccines were actually due. To top it off, we were charged $82 for the extra shots to counter the side effects caused by their lack of communication, bringing the total cost of today's visit to over $300. This visit left us feeling frustrated and taken advantage of. Lack of transparency, poor communication, and a refusal to take ownership of mistakes cost them our trust and our continued business.

Tima has been a reliable and loving sitter to my 6 year old dog, Nae, for the past 3 years. During that time they've created such a special bond and Nae is always thrilled to see her. Tima is diligent with her care and keeps up with Nae's active lifestyle through long walks and fun adventures at the beach and park. Most of all she provides so much peace of mind - I can fully enjoy my vacation knowing my pup (and home!) is in the best possible hands and Nae, while normally a bit anxious without me, is always so happy and comfortable with Tima. read more

I'm jokingly sounding elitist. Of course, they cater to ALL types of dogs in unique ways. Call and let them explain. My newly rescued dog had a ton of energy, but was afraid of almost everyone he didn't know. It was heartbreaking to see him want to play but fear his environment! His life was transformed when I got him into a routine with Vanessa. She's clearly the leader of the pack, and after about a week he was coming to the door to greet her. Now, he knows the general routine and goes bonkers waiting to hear the familiar sounds of Vanessa's arrival. I never asked for training, only exercise and socialization. So as he transforms, I'm sometimes caught off guard by his improvements. At first I'll often tell people "he won't do that", or " don't expect him to be better with you", only to find his regular exercise, socialization with other dogs, and whatever magic Vanessa does as pack leader, has extremely improved his behavior. I have to admit I felt kinda sad when I realized he'd eat his food without needing to know exactly where I was ... but I guess that's just part of growing up ;-) Now, I don't have such a needy, misbehaving dog; I have more time for a life. He has fun, clearly feels better, and behaves better. I feel better as a dad knowing he's not in a pen, but actually playing, socializing, and getting so much needed exercise. Now he has a positive channel for all of that pent-up, aimless energy. Before, it almost always manifested in negative ways. We're still with UDF, and have no plans of changing. If you can do it, and on a regular schedule (my dog didn't change in a month), I suggest you do. In fact, the company might be too small for guarantees, but in an informal friendly way, I practically guaranty you'll be pleased with the improvement of your dog if you do. And dang, I've never written that in a review. Check my history. By the way, I'm not receiving ANYTHING in return for this review or anything surrounding it. No cash, discounts, coupons ... not even a hug. I'm just being honest, and taking the time to share. Again, bottom line (literally), not everyone can take advantage of this wonderful service.

Vanessa has the best solutions for this, especially for my terrier. He needs at least two 30-minute walks, a park outing to run solely after his ball and then social time with other dogs...every single day! To help me with the extra amount of exercise they need, Vanessa offers me Fiesta Island and beach outings, as well as trail hikes and park outings. My terrier loves all 4, but my bully can skip the hike. He gets lazy. I'm lucky to have run in to her on one of my walks 3 years ago, because now I can rest easier. My dogs are exhausted when they get home, and that's good, right? RIGHT! You can rest assure with Vanessa's mild manner and loving ways she will take care of your furry friend as if it were her own. I can attest to that because she also offers pet boarding and I've used it before. She is attentive and thoughtful to send me daily pictures reassuring me they are alive and well. Also, her husband and daughter have the best relationship with my dogs. He always shares sweet stories of their times watching TV together so I know they are treated as part of their family when they stay over. My dogs are happy and therefore I am happy!
