We hired Dogs on the Run to have our dog be part of our wedding day in June 2025, and I truly…read morecannot recommend them enough!! Especially our handler, Misty! From the very beginning, Misty was incredible. She carved out time weeks before the wedding for us to meet each other and talk about our dog's (Louie) temperament, our expectations, and the full game plan for the big day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was prepared and genuinely cared about making everything go smoothly. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She arrived early to the Airbnb and was able to get used to walking and handling Louie. She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us. She kept us updated via text throughout the day, and when it was time to drop him back off at our Airbnb in the evening, she sent photos and updates so we knew he was settled and happy. She even left us the sweetest wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Misty was kind, professional, organized, and clearly loves what she does. We are SO grateful for her and would absolutely book Dogs on the Run again. Highly, highly recommend!

We were going out of country for holiday. We saw Dogs On The Run at the Carlsbad St Fair. We picked…read morea brochure and I did my research. I compared them to other animal boardings close to me. I spoke with my husband on each and he agreed with me, DOTR was the best sounding. We reached out, told them about our beautiful 5 yr old Great Dane. They did the research within the company to find a best fit. Carter came out to our home after some communication. He LOVED our dog, she loved him. Carter and his wife were hooked and accepted her with open arms. The day to leave was here. She got a bit anxious seeing our luggage. My husband drove her a short distance over and dropped her off. She loved it, and they were so loving right back. We had updates regularly, both in email and pictures. It looked like she was on vacation. We are booking again for Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately, Carter is not available, but they connected us with Madeline. We already know that this is going to be a great experience for Madeline and our pup (6 yr old at that time).

We moved to Carlsbad a little over a year ago with our 11-year old Cocker Spaniel 'son' Buddy. Bud…read moreis a rescue and has a tendancy toward separation anxiety. In the 8 years that we have had him he has never been boarded. We have only ever had one pet sitter stay with him in all of those years. Finding a new pet sitter for Bud in the Carlsbad area was a scary and stressful idea. Through internet reviews, we thankfully found Susan and Animal House Pet Care. As I said in my earlier review, in one of the early meetings Susan taught Bud to go up the ramp we had by the side of the bed. That was a training challenge that had elluded us. Within the first 2 minutes of coming to the house on the very first day, she got on the floor with Bud and he immediately came to her and started licking her face. He usually barks at strangers. We knew from that moment on that Bud would be happy and well cared for. Susan has come to stay for three long weekends since April and everything has been perfect each time. We especially love the 'good morning' and 'good night' photos of Bud that she sends by phone while we are away. We now go away with absolute confidence and know that our baby is being well cared for.

Woofies is my favorite! When our groomer of 6 years (kiwis whole life) retired we were heartbroken…read moreand anxious about our journey finding a new groomer. I came across Woofies and from the first phone call to now (a year later) this place has been WONDERFUL. My first impression was they CARE. Caleb spoke to me on the phone for 30 minutes about all the questions I have and was empathetic regarding my anxiety about finding a new groomer. At the end of the call I booked an appointment and I'm so glad I did! Fast forward to almost a year later now that we've been using Woofies and they've always been incredibly accommodating, communicative and professional. We are so glad to have found kiwis grooming home! At the beginning we used Alexis who was phenomenal and kind but she moved so now we use Michelle and are SO thankful we have her as Kiwis groomer. Michelle pays close attention to detail and loves kiwi, you can tell she loves what she does. I recommend all my friends use Woofies! We don't like standard salons where you drop your pet off and pick up with how tiny kiwi is and she's used to mobile grooming so this was perfect for us! The convenience of them coming to your home and bringing our pet out to the van is PRICELESS.

Welcome Woofie's of Carlsbad!…read more This family business provides a variety of pet services. We utilized their mobile grooming for not one, but two dogs. I scheduled the service with the owner over the phone who got me started on their booking platform. My female dog has a wash and go type of coat and she was booked for a sanitary trim. Our male dog has a thick coat and was scheduled for a full service treatment. Both came out looking their best thanks to Alexis. The entire process from beginning to end was smooth. The office followed up on our services after the session. You can just tell the team at Woofie's wants you to have a positive experience. This was our first time using a mobile grooming service. The mobile van was new, clean, and well stocked with supplies and treats. The dogs liked it and I think that is what really matters. Time to book our next session for the holidays... #WoofiesofCarlsbad #MobileGroomers #ADogsLife #YelpEliteNCSD

The setting is a retired couple watching your dogs with their dogs, in a super secure fenced yard, with even smaller grade wire fencing for any types like escape artists and small dogs, which I have one of each! The price was also very affordable vs other places that wanted more than a hotel room would cost for 2 adults!

My dogs can be very energetic and difficult to handle and I would not trust anyone else with my dogs. Initially, I hesitated to get a dog walking/ pet sitting service because I didn't know if I could really trust someone with my 2 dogs and access to my home. Yet, the time and schedule demands that come with being a business owner got me searching on YELP to see who was out there. I came across My Spoiled Pet and immediately felt very confident that she could take great care of my dogs. I made a quick decision to go for it and emailed Emily; she got back to me within 15 minutes. I have been using My Spoiled Pet for several weeks now and I am absolutely very happy with the service. Thank you Emily!
