She kept me updated, made sure he felt comfortable in the facility, and ensured he was engaged and having a positive experience throughout the day. Paul also went above and beyond. He took the time to introduce my new dog to my resident dog in a neutral, calm setting, which made their first interaction a success and set us up for a smooth transition at home. It's clear that the team at K9 City truly understands dog behavior and is committed to providing thoughtful, individualized care. I left feeling grateful and completely confident that my dog was in the best hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, top-notch facility that prioritizes the well being of every dog that walks through the door.

Unfortunately, I had to edit my drafted five star review down to a four star review because I feel…read morelike I was bait and switched. We are relatively new to OC Pup Scouts starting in Dec 2025, and have gone through the temperament assessment and puppy training, but now that we've "graduated" to the pack walks, they've changed their prices and increased them 10%. Seemingly nominal, but this should have been disclosed or at least acknowledged upfront when asking about the program and pricing. The walkers and admin have been great, and my pup seems to really enjoy the walks. It's just feels a little icky that they probably knew about the price increase and conveniently left it out when vetting the business. Maybe I just had unlucky timing with it, because they did say this price increase was the "first in years". I get it, cost of living goes up. I just wish they had been honest and upfront about it (or at least honor their quoted pricing for another quarter or two), hence the removal of a star. I was looking for a service where my pup could safely interact and socialize with other dogs, not necessarily for the walk itself, so I found what I thought would be a good pick in OC Pup Scouts. The pack walk services are great. The handlers all seem friendly and genuinely nice people. They will pick up your pup from your chosen location and drive them in a van to a park where they embark on an hour long walk at a time. I especially love that they provide you an update/pictures of their walks. The pups all seem to enjoy their time together. There have been a few last minute schedule changes that range from a few minutes to an hour delay, but they've been pretty consistent about communicating these. This is also to be expected when your clients are... well dogs, but I only mention it to warn others to be flexible. Overall, I'm satisfied with the services rendered. I am happy I found OC Pup Scouts, and would be happy to recommend them for their pack walks. Hoping that the prices remain stable for the foreseeable future, and they don't pull a Spotify and jack them up every year.

Unlike other places that require appointments just to tour, they welcomed me immediately when I stopped by. It's clear they have nothing to hide--they take real pride in their space and standards. They're also very thorough about which dogs they accept, ensuring all pets are up to date on vaccinations, have had recent exams, and pass a behavior assessment before joining the group. That level of care really benefits all the dogs. If you board your pet here, you'll receive daily video updates, which is such a thoughtful touch. The facility itself is spotless, and the overall experience sets a benchmark that other boarding services should be measured against.
