Reynaldo is a dog whisperer and seems to have a great bond with dogs. He's able to do the French poodle cut with no problem, so I started coming here.

I kind of want to ask him if it's cool that I buy coffee and hang out here to do work. You know how there's cat cafes? This place is like the dog cafe version of that!

People often think dog walks and park outings are mainly for young, energetic dogs who need exercise. What we learned is that senior dogs benefit just as much. The gentle exercise, fresh air, routine, and especially the socialization with other older dogs who are their speed made a tremendous difference in Buddy's quality of life. Sarah and Tony cared for Buddy for the last several years of his life, not only as a regular dog walking client but also during overnight stays when our travel plans were a bit much for a little old man. We always knew he was loved, having a good time and well cared for. We were lucky to have five wonderful years with Buddy, and this team helped make those years even better. Their care, kindness, and genuine love for dogs showed in everything they did, right up to the very end. We are incredibly grateful they were part of our lives and part of Buddy's. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

TLDR: Poor communication, never confirmed feeding instructions for our dog, never got our…read moreprescription wet food back, and I felt an overall concern for the safety of my dog while in their care. We brought our foster dog to Pet Camp in hopes of helping build his confidence but ended up being super disappointed and confused during the whole experience and felt that Pet Camp really failed him. Scheduling the appointment wasn't too hard, they said they'd reach out to me via phone to finish our profile for our dog. We set up a time and they did not reach out, like they said, but I was able to call them the following day and finish setting up the profile. For his first day, we included a bag with his prescription grade wet and dry food- along with a couple toys, an article of clothing for smelling etc.- these were all things that we were asked to bring but when my partner went to drop him off, Pet Camp thought he was being boarded "because of all the stuff he has" (??). Pick up went smooth but when we got home we realized they did not pack his wet food back into his bag, which we thought was strange since the can was brand new. After talking to my partner, we also realized that no one had confirmed with either of us how much our dog was supposed to be fed per meal!! We had to call the next morning and check in on both of these things since we had planned to bring him back that day.... They were apologetic about not checking in on his portion sizes and confirmed how much they fed him, which wasn't far off. They also said they will keep the wet food in the fridge, if the dog is coming back the next day...all of that seemed good. When we went to pick up our dog after the second day, we let them know we would not be scheduling him for another session at that time. When we got home, we realized we were charged a different price than the day before. It turns out they stuck our dog in the most expensive group, which is allowing him (a 10lb tiny chiweenie) to hang out with all of the big and small dogs outside for the entire day, with only an hour inside to eat and nap. Our dog is a timid tiny dog and the package that was chosen for him at the beginning was partial outside and partial 1:1 time with a councilor. This was very different and not what he needed or wanted. Another thing we noticed was, of course, no wet food was brought back on the second day (even after we confirmed that he will not be returning). We now need to wait for a new prescription from his vet to get another refill on his food since that was his last can. When we called Pet Camp later that day to figure out why we were charged extra, we learned about them putting him in the other group and were not offered any sort of refund of the difference or real explanation as to why they made this choice. We were just told they were sorry and he had "fun playing all day". Too many basic communication issues and I don't feel safe leaving my dog here. It seems all of their negative reviews share the same complaint about communication.

This review is LONG over due. We got our Oban in 2020…read more After graduating puppy school at Smarty Pups, we thought it would be a good idea to continue socializing Oban through daycare. I did a fair amount of research via Yelp, but found Good Dog via Instagram. We met Erik and Teal for "testing" at their facilitating near the Alemany Market, and phew!, Oban passed. The facility is spacious, clean, and has an indoor and outdoor area. We started Oban with 3 days a week playcare. He is picked up between 10-11am and home between 4-5pm. He is exhausted by the time he gets home and we don't experience the witching hour that we do when he is home all day. Unlike off-leash plays at the beach, we are not concerned that Oban will bring home lbs of sand or worse off run away. You can tell that Teal, Erik, and Yvonne all love dogs and they take great care of all of the pups. Sometimes, our Oban sits and stares at the door waiting for one of them to come through and take him away to his happy place. We don't know whether to have hurt feelings, or feel joy because he is so happy to go there. When we were finally able to travel (COVID and all) we boarded Oban with Teal and Erik. They sent us daily pictures and updates about his well-being, and what he was doing. These people just plain love dogs and treat them well.
