She takes the time to get to know them, introduce herself to them, and make them comfortable with her. She's so considerate and sends photos which is so comforting.

If you are looking for a great animal care giver who actually cares she's your girl! I recommend her 100%

His prices are great and definitely not over charged. Two, he comes to your home to meet you and your animals.

My and my boyfriend have two carts and we feel that when Scott comes they are always in good hands. I have used him 3 times now and feel safe having him in my home and with my animals.

Specifically, Misty was wonderful and we were super happy with her service. Her reports were very detailed and I can tell that our cats were happy hanging out with Misty too. However, this review is more on Scott who runs the business. I've asked Scott's pet service company three times. And for two out of three I had negative experience with the way Scott behaved or talked to me. I'd give 1 star to Scott's behavior, due to a disappointing experience that I had interacting with him. Scott's negative attitude and lack of respect made me uncomfortable. The way he talks is as if he is the guardian of all the cats in the world and he knows more about our cats than we do Scott gave me the impression that he tries to bust me, or initimidate and undermine me. A good sitter should respect the owner's wishes and follow their routines that they have established through years of living and loving their cats. But what I saw from Scott was completely opposite. He kept interfering with our routines and trying to undermine our decisions. The way he behaves is as if we have to report to him for the decisions and routines that we have for our cats with whom we've had the pleasure of living for over 3 years. This is not acceptable. He should more mindful of the way he interacts & talks with people and respect their privacy and routines.

Cara was incredibly patient, calm, and encouraging. Check out her YouTube videos to get Cara's vibe for traning and see if her apporach works for you. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, we were not able to complete our eight-week training plan, but Cara was completely understanding and refunded me for the remaining sessions. I was beyond grateful that she was so understanding of situation. Cara has a genuine love for animals, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further. I'm so grateful for the transformation in my dog's behavior (even in the short time we spent training together) and I would recommend Cara for anyone struggling to train their dog basic obedience, or develop a relationship with their new puppy, and much more!

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!

DOGS ARE AWESOME Pet Sitting Services

Polina truly LOVES dogs. She has been walking our very timid cockapoo 3 times a week for the past…read morehalf year and our dog has never been happier. We were having problems with Mia having accidents in the house that corrected immediately after Polinas walks (runs) began. Her detailed reports and darling pictures are just the icing on the cake. The best part is the transformation Mia has gone through. She used to be so afraid of other dogs and people and now will go up to other dogs and even people and say hi. :) It's truly amazing! I am convinced that it's a direct result of all of Polina's attention and sincerely tender and patient loving care. Polina is also the most concientious human being I have ever met. She has the highest ethical standards and has even given us discounts for being loyal customers. Who does that these days?? Love her and love the way our dog has blossomed. Thank you Polina!

Unfortunately, I no longer live in Solana Beach, or California for that matter…read more But, when I lived there for three years, I counted on Polina's pet sitting services for both my cat Charlie and my dog Onyx. Where do I begin? I can only sum up, that Polina has been the BEST petsitter I have ever relied on to take care of my furabies. She is extremely knowledgeable on dogs and cats, especially small breed dogs because that's what she owns, and she absolutely loves animals. My dog Onyx, is a senior Chihuahua, and the first time I had Polina take care of her, Onyx had just experienced some serious gastrointestinal issues. She was a mess, and needed daily meds, and also a special bland food diet. Polina immediately took to my animals, and showed a lot of concern for Onyx' health and skinny frame. My animals took to her immediately too, because animals know when they are around somebody who truly, and genuinely loves and cares for them. When I came back from that first trip, where I had Polina take care of my animals, Onyx had put on weight, and looked healthier and happier than she had in years. And I was only gone for about a week! What I appreciate the most about Polina's petsitting services, is that she is very personable about it. She takes her job very seriously, and while very professional is also passionate at the same time. I found out, that she would make special food for Onyx even when she didn't need to. She goes above and beyond the call of duty in order to fulfill her obligations, and her prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Polina as a petsitter. Your animals will be in good hands, and that is one less thing you'll have to worry about, while away from home.

Ive never had a pet that required medical attention so having the support from their staff was very reassuring that everything was going to be ok. We loved that they not only helped cats and dogs but also exotic animals. The doors are locked at night and require the front door desk to let you in which makes it feel safe. They have snacks, coffee, water and tea to help with the nerves as your pet receives the care they need. Overall, great spot and easy to spot in this strip mall. I hope to not have to have a pet medical emergency again but if we do, we will definitely be coming back here! Thank you VEG team!

I did research on where to take my dog for a spay for years…read more It was very stressful reading studies, forums, and different opinions on whether we should do a traditional spay, an OSS, or ultimately a laparoscopic ovariectomy (LOVE spay). After a lot of research, we decided the LOVE spay was the best option for our girl. I came across Dr. Ryan Tedder at Coastal Animal Hospital. I was nervous about the procedure, but wow, this doctor is an absolute GEM. If only everyone was like him! He took the time to fully explain the LOVE spay procedure, answered all of our questions, and eased every doubt we had. The day came, and it was a successful surgery. Dr. Tedder called afterward, walked us through exactly how everything went, and when we picked her up, he went through everything again with us and explained her recovery. This is a far drive for us, but we will absolutely make it every single time if it means receiving this level of care for our girl. If you're worried about the LOVE spay or are thinking about this clinic, I promise you this is the right place. The staff is great, with the all-star Dr. Tedder manning the helm. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl.

Amazing experience all around, I am considering transferring my pet to have this be her primary care office. You can tell they care and are willing to help in times most needed!
