There have been multiple times we've had to leave town at the last minute and needed kitty care, and they've never once declined, even during holidays. The See Spot Sit team is amazing about sending updates while we're away, including sending photos of our cats, which is always so nice and reassuring. We've used them about a dozen times now and have had zero complaints. They go above and beyond, taking care of our cats in ways we didn't even ask for, and we're so grateful. If you need a reliable, affordable, loving cat sitter in San Diego, See Spot Sit is it!

Another five-star rating for Cruz! She's responsible, professional and warm. I was impressed by the…read morethorough, neatly written notes she took during the initial 'interview' with our two dogs as well as the relaxed way she introduced them to the others she had in her care during that first visit. She didn't make a snap judgment about our 94-pound GSD-mix, which I especially appreciated given how many people assume a correlation between a dog's size and aggressive tendencies. She went the extra mile -- actually more like 2 -- to pick up the dogs from my place of work one day because I was concerned about being late for a staff meeting. And she regularly texted us photos she took of him and his little sidekick during the day -- a very thoughtful touch. Four paws up for Stockton Dogs!

Cruz is professional, reliable, and not to mention, super sweet! She is consistent about sending us pictures of him when we're away. I can tell that she truly loves her job & her clients; she even bought Ace dog toys to take home! We will continue to book with her every time we travel. Ace has stayed with Cruz multiple times and now when she comes to pick him up, he runs straight to her car without looking back! Cruz takes him to the coffee shop, on errands, and out on walks when we are out of town and we are truly grateful for the amount of mental and physical stimulation he gets every day he's in her care. Thanks again Stockton Dogs!

Fido's Following is such a lifesaver!! I travel for business regularly and can ALWAYS count on…read morethese folks to take care of my 2 dogs. They are so professional and reliable. The best experience I've had and I've tried a several options. If you're in San Diego and need a dog walker, I highly recommend this company. Irene, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with.

I was recently thinking of the things I was thankful for in my life and realized that something…read morethat ranked high was Irene, the owner and operator of Fidos Following. Thus, I figured it was about time I wrote a review. Before I continue, note that there is no Fido...at least not that I'm aware of. Seriously, Irene has been a blessing in mine and my dogs' lives. She has been taking care of my pups for months now. Initially, I wasn't sure if regular service was something I could afford but with the care she gives them, I realize you can't put a price on improved quality of life for my pups and for me. I know my dogs are in good hands when they're with Irene. Some examples of her awesomeness: she's very easy to get a hold of, my dogs run up to her and get excited when they see her, she goes above what's required, she reads a lot about animals so knows more than the average pet owner, she's very amiable, easy going and direct. Also, I love coming home to see my dogs and on top of that, get a journal entry from Irene about how they were that day. Conclusion: once you joing the Following, it'll make your animals happy and in turn, make you happy. :-)

He is amazing with my dog--the only time that my dog doesn't care that I'm leaving him behind is when he is with Doug. Doug is so great, he sends me updates while I'm away to let me know how he's eating (my dog is a very picky eater) and sends me pictures and videos of Jameson playing with the other dogs. I'm moving out of state soon and I'm so bummed for my pup to be losing Doug. Thank you, Doug, for everything!

We lost our beloved 'Molly' in Doug's care. His service came highly recommended through a relative…read more We were to leave town to visit family in Los Angeles and trusted Doug with our furry family member's life for three days. 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.

The team goes above and beyond making sure not only that the cats are well take care of, but they also gather our mail, have taken the garbage cans in on trash day and tidy up inside when the cats make a mess. Our three cats feel comfortable and safe with their Paws Play sitters. I appreciate and look forward to the photos they send with every visit and detailed updates. They communicate via a portal with all the cats' details and instructions uploaded + billing is clearly outlined and easily processed. Thank you Jessica, Erik and your entire team for taken care of our cats...whether it's an extended holiday or a short two-day getaway. We know they're always in good hands!

She was fantastic, even brought Cody a bag of toys and treats! Needless to say, they are top notch, professional, and responsive. We use an app, that allows us to get daily updates and photos and messages about our fur baby. They are always punctual and caring and I can not recommend them enough. Cats and dogs, it is not easy to find a cat sitter in San Diego, we no longer could depend on family and friends, so this was a huge weight off our shoulders, now that we have Paws Play, we can go away whenever we want and know that our cat will be well cared for. Thank you Jessica and Erik! We highly recommend them for your fur babies!

The Hope2K9 adoption experience was exceptional…read more The pup that we rescued (Freyja) was full of love and nervous energy. We decided to rescue her a few days before Hope2K9 had an open spot to start her training. When we brought Freyja home from the rescue we learned that she was part shark and part sled dog. On our first walk she was trying to pull us up the street with the force of an entire team of sled dogs. When we got home from the walk we gave her a "indestructible dog toy" which she managed to destroy within 5 minutes. At this point we were nervous about the potential challenges we were going to be facing with training. During the 3 week training process Cam kept us updated on our pups progress. The second night we received a short video of Cam walking a well behaved Freyja. The 2 in person training sessions were well organized and covered all the commands and how to leverage the training tools used to train our pup. The experience did not end with the 3 week training because Hope2K9 has been there to answer our questions.

It has been one year since I adopted Maddie and that is why this review is over due! Hope2k9 trains rescued dogs, teaches them good manners and social skills. I couldn't be more pleased with finding my forever best friend. I definitely will go back to foster or adopt another dog. Not only do they work very hard at training they also allow you to visit for more training if you want. This is a wonderful rescue and I couldn't be more happier with my pup!
