I love this place although sometimes the grooming is a little below average but for the most part it's good. I have a small maltipoo and 90% of the time she comes back looking absolutely cute and smells so good with cute bows in her hair and a cute bandana, the price is very reasonable compared to other places. Only a few times did the groom look like they rushed and there was lack of detail, it's happened twice out of 4 times so 50/50. Overall my girl seems comfortable going in for her grooming so I know she's treated with kindness and that goes a long way for me.

Before - bad hair day.

Woof, woof! My fur baby looks fabulous. This is our second visit here and they cut her hair perfectly. She came out smelling of perfume and they gave her a pink little bow to match her diva personality. We like coming here because it's close and convenient and online scheduling is easy. We'll be back!

This place is the greatest place to get your pup pampered! They are always so friendly and you can tell they really care about the animals, talk about genuine. They are really great handling my timid chiweenie Cooper! He gets the works (sometimes blueberry facials and paw balm, and other times the general scrub and brush with nails and tails) and always comes out smelling like heaven and strutting the cutest lil bandana, a different design, every time! I seriously can't thank them enough for their incredible service and taking such great care of Cooper! I am one satisfied Dog Mom!

The result of the full groom on Mana. She was more soft than normally, smelled of coconut, and they added that cute bandana on her. Too q!

It was our first time at Bark Out Loud and you bet we will be back again. They booked us in on the same day and the grooming only took 2 hours. The grooming appointment includes bath, nail trimming, ear cleaning and a haircut to my specifications. I am truly happy Mana looks adorable from nose to tail and even more happy to see she was well taken care of. I'd recommend to give this place a try! Plus they offer a membership!!

Smell ME!!! Just left BOL, gracias Lisa

Lisa and her staff are AWSOME. Since you walk in you feel the warmth and love they have for our furry family members. Hands down the best groomers in SD. Thanks so much for being part of our fur babies lives!!!

Definitely recommend Bark Out Loud! Amazing service, during this pandemic they are able to open up and still take care of our four legged kids! Thank you to the owner Eliza for being so great! They did a fantastic job on our husky! If you know that they blow their coats, you know that means hair is EVERYWHERE!!! Big thanks to Erik for knowing what to do!!!

I came to this place for the first time today and I was very impressed with the service at this location. Vince is a very chill fellow and great at customer service! I didn't catch the name of the younger gentleman who helped me pick out a new harness for my pug but thank you for your help! I look forward to bringing my dog next visit!

My handsome boy has spent a long time living with friends before we finally got the chance to fly him here from Japan. Staying nearby, we really wanted to get him in somewhere to get groomed after his long flight. My husband stopped by Bark Out Loud on his way to Krisp and scheduled an appt for the following day. My boy is a large Golden Pyrenees, in some serious grooming need and he came home as handsome as can be ! Thank you !

Post wash happiness

The only dog wash we use in San Diego. Our dog always comes back smelling good and with a cute bow or hanker-chief. They're fast and can get us in day. Friendly team and our dog loves going there. Always runs in and never wants to leave. Highly recommend!

I've been bringing my dog Millie to BOL for a little while now and I just love these people! Always kind and helpful, and great with my nervous girl. Every time I pick her up she looks and smells amazing, and is happy as a clam. I also love all the bows and bandanas they use as a final touch! I'm moving away soon, and am sad to have to say goodbye to this fantastic groomer; today might have been her last grooming here before we leave, so I couldn't go without making sure to finally leave a 5star review. Thank you guys for always taking such great care of my girl. We will miss you, and keep recommending you to all our San Diego friends from afar!

Bear

This was my first time going to a small business dog salon (I've been taking my dogs to PetSmart since they were puppies) and I wasn't disappointed. Actually, Lisa the groomer did such a wonderful excellent job on my dog Bear even creative a look that fit him perfectly. I will definitely be going back again for future grooming! Thank you again Lisa!

Big scratch on his belly
Kathryn Y.

I am never a person who would leave bad review, but the bad experience I had here made me so. I have a 2 year poodle mix I took him to this place as a first time client since I recently moved to downtown, I specifically mentioned to the groomer that my dog's hair is little matted and if he has to shave SOME spots instead of trying to brush and hurt him is okay with me because I'd rather him to have short hair than going through pain while brushing, he said he can go "short" with no problem. I picked him up after couple hours my dog was completely SHAVED OFF saying that he was matted everywhere which I was in complete shock when I saw him, but I let go because I thought that was best option for him to not be in pain. Usually other shops where I took my dog before always ask and let me know before shaving any spots. Anyways I get home and I see major cut in his inner thigh and big scratch in his belly!! And the whole point of shaving was for him to not be in pain! When I called and asked what had happened, I didn't even get a sincere apology and he told me that was just an irritation that he had noticed it while drying him but decided to not let me know because he thought it wasn't a big deal!!!! when it's CLEARLY is a big cut that my dog wont stop licking. I was so stressed out the whole night feeling super bad for my dog and he went through.

I specifically asked them to TRIM the tail and the ears on my Brittany and they cut off the entire back leg featherings. One of the characteristics of this breed is its feathering on the legs (they don't know breeds, maybe don't be in this business). It will grow back in time, but the fact that I specified only the TAIL and EARS but they CUT not TRIMMED the feathering off the LEGS is unacceptable. They told me they were unsure of what I asked for after the fact. Listen to your customers and pause and ask questions if you're not sure.

So much in fact that Yoshi now recognizes the street they're on before we drop him off at daycare and he gets excited! Precious Pet Care checks all the marks for us: they're kind, attentive, close by (bonus points!), and they offer an extensive amount of services that are far beyond my imagination. Who knew my dog could get supervised socialization in an intimate setting, get groomed when needed, and get dropped off by their Magic Pink bus? I mean, I can't with all of this cuteness! I also appreciate that they're flexible with accommodating Yoshi, especially since our work schedules are a little crazy sometimes. Their end of day report cards are also so thoughtful and I look forward to reading them every time. There are many great doggy daycare and boarding spots to take your pets to, but Precious Pet Care is top tier and by far the happiest we've ever been with pet care services. Yoshi looks forward to many more playdates with the pack.

A previous company would often decline requests and Sean has always been so relaxed to do business with. Even though he's not our dog walker, he's aware of our needs through the great job Esteban, our Little Buddies walker, performs for us. Our skittish Retriever, Goldie, couldn't be in safer hands. She can be a handful and we work together to keep her improving. They're direct and honest with communication, it's a mutually beneficial relationship. It has to be otherwise I'd go crazy at work.

Sean is very communicative, organized, and knowledgeable and his love for and commitment to the animals he provides care for is obvious. We have never had any issues. The walkers have all been friendly, communicative, and send daily photos and updates of the walks. Our dogs specifically love Monique! One of our dogs is quite anxious but he warmed up to her immediately and they have a great bond. She is always taking them on fun adventures through our neighborhood. If you're looking for superior care for your pets, then I highly recommend Little Buddies!!

Dianes Pet Care

Wish I could give this place less than one star…read more Let me start by saying that I had taken my dog there since 2014 and Diane was good, but in the last year she's become increasingly less attentive and sloppy in her pet care. I recently returned from a two week overseas trip and my dog had a very bad scratch on his cornea. By Diane's own admission she had seen him with this for "four or five days" - (I have this documented in email) When I picked my dog up he was clearly in pain and not even able to open his eye. I am always only an email away and Diane always had my permission to take my dog to the vet even if it's a wasted visit. Because she didn't, the eye got infected and he had no sight for nearly two weeks. It's now been almost a month and the damage was so severe, he's still on antibiotics. The vet said this must have been extremely painful for him. What dog person does this to an animal?? The first thing the vet did was give him a shot for he pain. When I asked Diane about why she waited she became immediately defensive and said my dog was no longer welcome there. This was fine, I would never entrust someone so careless with my dog again. This dog caregiver is burned out. Some weeks prior I caught her shoving dogs in her car, fully impatient and saying: "I wish I didn't have to do this f--g job." I get it. Many people have gotten into jobs they hate, or had a job burn them out. The thing is know when to get out. I would think twice before leaving my dog here. I have pictures of this eye injury which I will try to post with this review. Anyone wishing to see these can contact me privately. EDITED post the response from the caregiver. I feel that a good caregiver would KNOW when a dog was injured. If you've ever had a cornea scratch, you know how painful that can be. She also said that she didn't notice the eye was red, but it was very blood red when I picked him up. She did tell me I could no longer bring my dog there, but I had not asked her for future care. When I confronted her on the eye issue, her response was "your dog is no longer welcome here." I have emails verifying this conversation. Good luck, if you decide to use her.

She is attentive and careful, only allowing zero-aggression dogs in her home. Her in-home daycare is kennel-free, safe and fully fenced, lots of places to run around, gorgeous well-maintained front and back yard, lots of shady areas to sniff and play. She even has an air-conditioned are for hot days! Pretty sure you can't beat her prices either, totally reasonable and worth every penny. My Frenchie has separation issues, she doesn't like being alone and just wants belly rubs and love. Diane thinks its cute and makes sure my Frenchie gets the love she desperately craves. Diane is a lovely, kind and caring person and I trust her implicitly. One of the other reviews says "finding Diane was a true gift to me and my dog" and I couldn't agree more.

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.

Having Jeremy as our Wedding Chaperone was amazing!…read more We have two large dogs who many describe as "hard to handle, quirky and different". This always makes me nervous when choosing anyone to work with them. Jeremy is actually the only person I am comfortable choosing when it comes to caring for my dogs. Especially my older dog who displays reactive behavior while on leash. Jeremy knows exactly how to handle my dogs, and keeps them calm and happy! This is why it was an easy choice to ask him to act as our Wedding Chaperone for the dogs on our wedding day! The dogs had a big job of walking down the aisle and I was so nervous how they would react before and after the ceremony. Because of his help they did AMAZING! What made this service so special is that 1) Jeremy is very professional and thoughtful and came dressed ceremony ready. 2) He took a lot of time and was very intentional about making sure the dogs were comfortable. 3) He made sure the dogs had everything they needed at all times! He even called ahead of time asking if he should print a pop up tent to shield them from the sun! So so thoughtful! 4) He was a lifesaver during family photos and helped get the dogs posed!! An IMPOSSIBLE task! But he made it happen! 5) When it was time to say goodbye he reviewed the dog's nighttime routine with us and I knew they were in great hands! So I could relax for the rest of my wedding! He brought them home, walked them, fed them and kept us up to date on everything we needed to know! In summary, Jeremy really helped make this day special for us. We couldn't have picked a better person to care for our dogs and make the dream of the dogs being present a reality!! For anyone who wants to involve their dogs in their special day or any other special events, I highly recommend using him for your event! It gives you the peace of mind to enjoy yourself while knowing your precious cargo is well cared for! Prices were fair, communication is outstanding, response time is prompt! And quality of care is unmatched! I'm a VERY happy dog mom!
