I can't say enough good things about Kelly and her team! She was with us from the very first day I brought my dog home 5 years ago. She welcomed my pup with so much love and treated her like one of her own. It gave me such peace of mind, especially in those early days of puppyhood. She's incredibly communicative, always sending pictures and videos that brightened my day and reassured me that my dog was happy and in great hands. When my dog was spayed, Kelly went above and beyond. She was gentle, attentive, and incredibly accommodating during her recovery. It's so clear how much she genuinely cares, and knowing that my pup had such compassionate care made all the difference. We are moving and are so sad to lose Kelly. I don't think we'll be able to find someone as reliable and loving, and who truly treats my dog like family. We feel so lucky to have found her! read more

Don't use this company. Terrible, unreliable and rude owner. There are plenty of good dog sitting companies out there. Use a different one, for your dog's sake. read more

Kelly and her team are the very best! I was so grateful to have a professional, kind and trustworthy companion for my dog when I was visiting Del Mar. I could tell when we returned, my pup thoroughly had a great time! Their communication before, during and after was excellent. I highly recommend Del Mar Doggers! read more

Kelly and her team are the best and caring pet people! They have been taking my dogs for walks daily for the past 10 years. They have never missed a single walk!! Kelly is always on time, and always very communicative with tons of cute pictures of the dogs on the walk with her. My 13-year-old Portuguese water dog is very happy to see Kelly every day! Thank you Kelly and Lynn! read more

We've had Kelly take care of our first Chihuahua Zuzu, and now our Chihuahua Lili. We have used DMD for over 10 years for both in-home boarding and mid-day walks. I can't say enough about how nice it is to know our dog is cared for by Kelly while we're away. I trust her completely with our Lili. A professional business run by a very caring person. Highly recommend! read more

This is a delayed review of services (pre-covid). We used Del Mar doggers for in home cat care for a few months when out of town because it had great reviews. We had a cam (not hidden) set up to see our pets. It became really clear that though Kelly said she would come in for 30 min and play with the pets for that time (and charged $60 per visit) that she was often there for 10 min max and just did the minimum. Nothing was particularly bad about the service (pets were fine, fed, boxes changed) except we didn't like the overcharge and the discrepancy between the stated services and what we could see actually happened. We found another service that charged less. They did less, but did what they said they would do. read more

Another 100% positive review for Kelly. So caring and so dependable! Such a relief to have absolute confidence that my pets and house were perfectly taken care of. Hooray. read more

My husband & I had the BEST experience with Del Mar Doggers. We are from LA and drove down to San Diego for a little weekend getaway with our 12 week old son. Last minute, our Airbnb decided no dogs so we had to scramble to try and find something for our 8 yr old golden. Kelly was so quick to respond, so kind and got a sitter for Joey (our golden) within 10 minutes of me reaching out. Joey stayed with Nina and she is a rockstar. She sent me photos, videos, updates on their day, and was just so tentative to our Joey. We couldn't have been more grateful for both Nina & Kelly! I highly recommend Del Mar Doggers! read more

Kelly, Lynn and Nina are amazing. Our pup Wrigley loves his lunchtime walks and when he gets to hang with them for pet sitting. The team is dependable, patient and so wonderful to us and Wrigley. We are so grateful to have found Del Mar Doggers! read more

Del Mar Doggers are wonderful. Our dog is aging and no longer travels well. When we travel, we know Amanda will take good care of Bailey and the house. She frequently sends pictures to let us know that all is well. Bailey gets his walks in familiar places and gets lots of attention. It's easy to give a five star rating. Del Mar Doggers are the best--reliable, reasonable and trustworthy. Plus they love dogs! read more

Kelly is absolutely fabulous. My dogs adore her - they can't walk far so she gives them lots of love time too, and always sends me the best photos - she should be a pet photographer :). read more

I have relied on Del Mar Doggers for several years now, and I have had them care for my dogs and parrot many times. They text (or email) me pics pretty much every visit they are with my pets.. They are very compassionate and warm towards my pets. My two dogs both have some behaviorial issues, but Del Mar Doggers are always sooooo good with them, I wouldn't really on anyone else. I very highly recommend them!!! read more

We moved to Del Mar from the east coast in January and needed to find a sitter for our 2 senior dogs. Due to their age, I wanted someone to stay in our home and ensure they received the proper care while we were away. As soon as I met Kelly, I knew they would be in good hands. She gave the girls a warm welcome and they came to her with wagging tails. She is a true gem and trusted her the moment she stepped in our home. When we got home, the girls were relaxed and so happy like we hadn't even left! Lynn has been staying with them for the overnights and is absolutely fabulous! They provide picture and video updates and the girls absolutely LOVE them! I would recommend Del Mar Doggers time and time again. read more

We recently left our mini doxie puppy Louie for the first time. We looked into lots of different options and decided on Del Mar Doggers and they were phenomenal! Louie can be pretty shy around new people but he LOVED Portia and Kelly (as evidenced by the many pictures and videos we received of snuggle and walk time and a very happy looking dog). I can't recommend them more highly - professional, reliable, and most importantly they genuinely love dogs : ) read more

Kelly has been such a godsend for our catchild, Buddy! We trust her completely and she spends the much needed cuddle time with sweet Buddy when we have to be out of town with work. We are moving out of the area and wish she had a twin sister in La Jolla! :) Highly recommend Kelly & Del Mar Doggers! A first-class organization. read more

Kelly and Portia went over and beyond taking care of my wife's and my two french bulldogs while we were out of town. The dogs were so sad to see us come home because they missed all the extra attention they were given during their long morning,afternoon and evening walks. We loved receiving photos of our dogs during our trip and we feel good to have finally found someone who can be trustworthy with taking care of our fur children + thank you !!! read more

We have been bringing our spoiled Boston Terrier to Kelly of Del Mar Doggers for a few years now. Like most pet owners our girl Savannah is our child and we will not leave her with just anyone. Having Kelly take care of Savannah is like leaving her with a family member, but even better! We never have to worry about her safety, and as importantly, her emotional state. Savannah is happy to come stay with Kelly, and I think she is actually kind of sad to come home! Kelly is really good about staying in touch, sending updates and pictures. If you need pet care, this is the place to go!!! You won't be sorry, and probably won't go anywhere else. read more

Kelly is amaaazing! I have a 3lb chihuhua that can be quite the terror. I was very nervous to leave him since I had only left him with my Mom during previous vacations. Kelly came to my house 3x a day and followed all my crazy requests for my little guy and even sent me e-mail updates to let me know his status. I was relaxed my whole trip because I knew my dog was in good hands, Kelly is very easy to work with and has a relaxed can-do attitude that will put you at ease while your away. I would recommend Del Mar Doggers to anyone looking for a pet sitter! read more

We are so relieved and happy that we found Kelly with Del Mar Doggers!!! She took amazing care of our little Boston Terrier while we were out of the country for almost 2 weeks. She made sure he was getting plenty of play time and TLC. She sent email updates and took photos of him and sent them to us so we could see our pup who we were missing so much! She went above and beyond because she clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We will definitely be requesting her again. She is a gem! Thank you Kelly!!! read more

I have to echo what others have said -- Kelly of Del Mar Doggers is the best! She's always on time, our pets love her and we know they are in great hands under her care. Animals are the best judge of their caregivers and it is obvious when our dog Ariel sees Kelly how happy she is. Even our grumpy old cat Hemingway comes to greet her and seeks her attention. Kelly is always flexible, wiling to do the extra little things and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to have their pet(s) cared for either on a daily basis or for vacations/business trips, etc. She's the best! read more

This past weekend I had to go out of town for the night and couldn't find a friend to watch my dogs. I was referred to Del Mar Doggers through another pet sitter site that was already booked. I spoke with Kelly on Friday and she got back to me very promptly. I was able to set up an overnight at my house with Jane from her team. Everything went very smoothly and I am extremely pleased. Jane sent lots of pictures and the dogs were taken care of very well. For such last minute I was really impressed and will definitely use again since I am new to the area! Thank you Del Mar Doggers!! read more

I highly recommend Del Mar Doggers! Their customer service is quick and efficient, and most importantly, the dog sitter Judy was so loving and attentive to my senior boy Harvey. read more

We cannot say enough great things about Debbie Scott and Del Mar Doggers. We planned a vacation for approximately one month, beginning in September 2011. We needed a really patient sitter, as we have a rat terrier/papillon mix (Scootie) who is very, very finicky, nonsocial and distrusting. Debbie painstakingly worked with Scootie, making progress little by little. After about two weeks, she finally turned the corner with Scootie. Scootie's eventual trust and comfort with Debbie demonstrated to us that she was the right person for the job and we were fortunate to have her sit our dogs and home. Debbie actually stayed at our home most of the time, working diligently with the dogs and protecting our property. Our other dog, a Yorkshire terrier named Corky, is very social...except with other dogs. He feels threatened by almost all other breeds and sometimes shows it by barking and trying to attack. Debbie had to be patient but stern with him in order to walk him with other dogs in the vicinity. Corky slept with Debbie her first night at the house and quickly became her buddy for the entire assignment. We had no worries about Corky. Debbie sent us daily emails to update us and put us at ease. She was honest and frank about working with Scootie and the challenges. I immensely appreciated her candor, as I didn't want her to candy-coat her difficulties with Scootie. Above all, I wanted Debbie to be forthright and sincere about the situation. She also sent us frequent pics of the dogs, which I thought was particularly thoughtful. Unfortunately, after about three and a half weeks, we had to fly home due to a health crisis with my husband. Debbie was ready for our early arrival, with everything in place and our dogs content. She not only worked miracles with our dogs, she maintained our home and even left our mail sorted. We would happily employ Debbie again, especially since our dogs are so comfortable with her, trust and love her. We highly recommend using Del Mar Doggers and especially Debbie Scott if you need someone to sit your dogs, even the "special needs" ones. read more

I can't say enough about Del Mar Doggers! I moved to San Diego from the east coast a few months ago and reached out to Kelly based on the Yelp reviews; I am SO happy I did! I have two small dogs who have both stayed with Kelly at her home and who have received visits/walks from her at our own home. She has even taken one of my dogs to the vet for a re-check appointment at my request. Every single time she sends me photos and updates through the day and I can tell they are happy and comfy with her and her doggy friends. She is incredibly devoted, professional and compassionate and it's obvious she loves dogs and treats all the dogs as if they were her own. It's relieving knowing my dogs are in her great care. Without any hesitation I would recommend Del Mar Doggers to everyone! read more

I got my pride and joy baby english bulldog 1 year ago, Bella. I live alone and have a pretty flexible schedule most of the time. Things started to really get busy in my business so I was frantic about who to take care of Bella, at the time she was 2 months old. I called Del Mar Doggers and Kelly (owner) reponded right away with such care and concern and all of the options since I was new to this. Kelly came over within a day and met with Bella and myself and right away we fell in love with her. She and her team of girls have been caring for Bella for a year now and NEVER EVER have I ever worried one bit about her saftey, my house, or the amount of love, hugs and kisses she was recieving. They text me every time they visit with her and even report her mood and if she pooed or whatever!! its truly the best care for your animal you can possibly imagine because they arent doing it just for the money, its evident they love animals and it shows. Speaking of money, they were also the most reasonably priced care I found so I feel very lucky and blessed on both ends, care and cost. I honestly dont know what I would do without them, they allow me to go bring home the bacon for Bella and I with no worries!! Thank you Del Mar Doggers!!! read more

I cannot say enough about how amazing Kelly is! I recently adopted two kittens and was very nervous about leaving them for a previously planned holiday trip. Since I've been gone, Kelly has sent me pictures of my little ones each time she visits and they look as happy as ever!! I found Del Mar Doggers fairly last minute and was worried they would not be able to accommodate my needs over the holiday, but Kelly accepted right away and has been absolutely amazing since. I can't imagine leaving my little ones with anyone else!! read more

I'm so happy to have found Kelly to watch my little kitty Luna when I'm out of town. She is professional, reliable, and goes the extra mile. She texted me photos & updates on her care. It really put me at ease and I will definitely be calling her again and highly recommend her as well. Thanks Kelly!!!:) read more

Kelly is awesome and my Butchie loved her! She is caring, dependable , organized and prompt in returning calls and emails. It is obvious she loves animals and takes pride in her business. I can't say enough good things about Del Mar Doggers and I HIGHLY recommend them! read more

I have used Del Mar Doggers for both my dog and cats. Kelly takes excellent care of my dog during a midday walk on the days that I know I will need to work late. She also was a lifesaver when I needed her to check in on my cats while I was out of town for almost a month - including on Christmas and New Years Day. She and her staff send texts messages and photos to let me know all is safe-and-sound at home while I am away. She responds quickly to requests and makes sure her staff is acquainted with my pets when she knows she will have someone else cover. Even my shy cat comes out to greet her when she visits! I highly recommend Del Mar Doggers. read more

We have two exceptionally energetic Boston Terriers that require a lot of patience and exercise. Kelly provides not only that, but love, too. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my two crazy guys. She sends pictures and videos everyday while they stroll the neighborhood and run like mad in the backyard. She goes out of her way to send text message updates on how they are while we are enjoying our vacation. She is trustworthy and professional. The dogs love her too!! read more

I highly recommend Del Mar Doggers. I lead a very busy life and Kelly is very responsive, dependable, and reliable. Plus, Chloe loves the walks and the park visits Kelly takes her on. read more

Del Mar Doggers are the best, we trust Kelly with our 3 older dogs as we travel. Kelly and her team keep us updated with pictures and updates while we are away so we don't worry what they might be getting into. We have been extremely satisfied with her services and will continue to use her and her staff. read more
