I am rewriting my review that I left last week. I boarded my two frenchies over Easter weekend. There was a lack of communication and a large discrepancy on my final billing. I left the review because the few staff members I spoke to disregarded my claim that I was over billed. A Paw Commons staff member contacted me and admitted that they made a mistake. They immediately refunded me the money that was overcharged. They also offered me a complimentary boarding for my pups for the error that was made. Because Paw Commons was willing to take responsibility and make it right. I feel that it was the right thing to change my review to a positive experience. My pups were happy at pick up. There were no issues with them. The staff was friendly. They gave me a tour of the facility. It was clear and the indoor facility was nice. I will be bringing my pups back to them on our next trip. Thank Paw Commons!!! read more

To start the check-in process with Michaela (sp) was flawless. We had an in-depth discussion of what the full bath treatment/haircut was going to be, and the final quote was given to me after I had a consult with the groomer. RiO was in Amanda's professional care today, and provided an exceptional experience and grooming service for my best friend's 4th birthday treat! Complimented with a HaPpY B-DaY bandana! The management made it right by providing a previous credit given for my satisfaction, and it was applied to my bill. Paw Commons is #1!!! Sent with thanks for taking care of Rio and providing a great 'spa treatment'! Amanda, BTW, he smells amazing! read more

I've been going here for a year ish- it's always amazing. Elisha and the whole team are great. My dog loves coming here and is always so happy when he's there. read more

Brought my dog in for his usual grooming. He's a goldendoodle and i have been bring him here for years. They always have given him great care. Close shave with hair left on head and tail. (Basic doodle cut). This time I pick my dog up and his is completely bald. No hair at all. On top of this she has cut both his ears and they are bleeding. When I call the manager, Alicia and asked why I didn't get a call to tell me thwy were doing something so extreme she said she didn't know and I should take my dog to the vet for his ears My poor baby is still having pain. Don't torture your baby. Go somewhere else. read more

First of all the staff is very welcoming when you walk in and I always feel comfortable and trusting leaving my Ginger under their care and supervision. It always is a very positive experience. Once we arrive and get into the parking lot, Ginger can not even wait to go play. Afterwards we go to Starbucks to get a pup cup! read more

My fur baby enjoys her Daycare visits. The staff is the best...they get to know you when you drop off and pick up. I can tell Ginger considers the Paw Commons Team as family...she walks in and does not even look back at me when I leave. Wow, what a comfort to know she is in great hands. The whole team is top notch but 'Shout out' to Elisha. She has been the evening front desk staff quite a bit and is pleasant to work with. She is knowledgeable about the packages and services available. Thank you...keep up the great work! read more

My pup has been with them for a full day, half-day, training, and overnight lodging, including a long trip when I was away for almost three weeks. My most recent experience continues the excellent service and care. Will always come back to them. I wish they also had locations in Los Angeles! But I'll take having them in San Diego and especially the staff in Encinitas! read more

The technicians were very professional and showed kindness and love to my fur babies Molly and Winston. Winston is a 4 month old Amstaff terrier mix and they made it a wonderful experience the first time being groomed. read more

My dog, Yuma, and I love Paw Commons of Encinitas! He's been going to daycare and boarding regularly for over a year. He is always SO excited to go which makes me really happy! He loves the staff most of all. Taylor, Michyla, and Elisha have been really helpful in making sure he's always cared for and has the best time. Thank you Paw Commons for creating a great place for my pup! read more

I was able to drop my elder Golden off with just a days notice and while it was short notice, they were very thorough with his health records, etc. The groomer is a master with dogs who are not fond of having their fur/nails clipped. My dog was so pretty when I picked him up and very happy. They sent me a report card on how he was doing and I checked the webcam as well. Paw Commons is a very well run daycare/boarding/grooming establishment! read more

Love this place. Mean, friendly service, and good prices. My dog always walks in and walks back I without looking back even. My heart breaks a little but I can tell he's always excited to get in there. I can't say enough about how friendly everyone is too. Highly suggest if you are looking for boarding. read more

Lovely grooming by Zyra. Good service by staff. Good location, easy to get the service. read more

Absolutely! My beautiful furry girl was treated to the furminator special and boy she is not shedding now!

The communication was excellent and the staff were very warm and efficient. We really were very pleased with the way they treated our 7 1/2 month old lab . She was well taken care of. They really seem to work with the customers in a very personal way. We definitely will want to have our dog stay again. read more

My maltipoo was very happy during his stay, communication was great, and I would definitely use them again.

PawCommons was recommended by a friend- and we have taken our dog here since she was 5 months old. the training staff is excellent, the daycare is awesome (she doesn't want to leave), the boarding process is easy AND they have great groomers. Taylor & her staff are professional & kind. Truly a one-stop shop for our girl! read more

A few days ago, I forgot to make an appointment, walked in, and Elisha. At the front desk, was professional, kind, accommodating, etc! I can't say in words how much I appreciate Elisha, and my experience for my 11-year-old angel, Samantha!!! They are the best at everything they offer!!! Don't go anywhere else!!! I'll see you soon Elisha, and all the staff at Paw Commons. Encinitas!!!!! read more

Paw Commons in Encintas has the most caring and loving staff you could ask for. We have used the grooming service for a few years and our dogs are excited to greet their groomer and happy when we pick them up. Their recent boarding vacation went very well! Once again, they were happy to be left and very happy when we picked them up. We received a photo of our pups and a report card!I highly recommend the service from Paw Commons Encinitas. Thank you Paw Commons Encinitas! Patti Anderson read more

Nicole trained our dog at their puppy overnight camp and we are very happy. She provided frequent updates while he was away and two helpful sessions with us after we brought him home. He is much better behaved now and we highly recommend her. read more

Maya loves coming in for a spa day. She's ten lbs lighter after a bath and getting her hair and nails trimmed.

I live in Oceanside and have boarded my dog here 5-6 times. Yesterday I came to pick up my dog at the time we scheduled with the front desk the day before (10am). Apparently we were let in by mistake, and the staff told us that we couldn't pick up our dog until noon because they weren't open for pickup and "the system wouldn't allow them to check the dog out." After telling them that we scheduled the pickup time with another staff member the day before and that we lived 25 mins away in Oceanside, they still wouldn't let us take our dog. It was a huge inconvenience to drive home and come back 2 hours later. Why not just give us our dog and figure out the admin later on their side?! What if someone had an emergency and needed to pick up their dog sooner than noon? I won't be boarding my dog again at this location, or any Paw Commons for that matter. read more

Been taking our 7 lb cavapoo here for years. We have used both boarding and grooming and have only had great experiences with both. Highly recommend. read more

Great range of services and care. Our dogs love coming here when we need to board them

We have been sending our dog the past few years to Paw Commons Encinitas for boarding and grooming. She is treated very well and comes home happy. Sweet staff and love that there are cameras to look at the dogs throughout the day. And the report card was quite accurate to our dog's demeanor. I highly recommend. read more

Came in last Friday for a tour and the girls working the front were great. they answered all my questions and made me feel at ease, my dogs are my life so I'm a little bit of a helicopter mom. Taylor walked me through to show me some rooms, and the other girl up front (forgot her name she did say she was also a groomer she had red-ish hair) was very sweet and explained the pricing to me. the dogs coming in seemed happy to see the staff and vise versa will be back :) read more

I have been taking my fur baby Zico to Paw Commons since we moved here from Chicago in 2020. They are the best and Zayra, his personal groomer, is an absolute expert at what she does and also takes the time to make Zico, a very energetic Portuguese Water Dog, feel at ease. He came home with a strawberry bandana and guess what? That's his favorite treat! Thank you and obrigada from your Brazilian and Portuguese family.‍ read more

Danielle is fantastic! #DogTrainer My beautiful two-year-old dog had severe leash reactivity to other dogs when I adopted her last year. I tried 2 trainers with no improvement whatsoever. Then, a friend referred me to Danielle at Paw Commons. After just 8 sessions my dog is "cured". Danielle helped me understand why she was reacting and showed me what I needed to do in order to walk her easily and happily on leash. In addition to a fantastic experience with Danielle, my dog goes to daycare regularly and absolutely loves it. She can't wait to run inside to see all of her friends and she adores all the staff. Thank you Danielle, Becca, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Paw Commons, Encinitas! read more

Brought our pup here for his first day, and met Taylor who did the temperament test. She was super nice got on the floor with the pup, and answered all our questions so that we felt super comfortable. She sent us a text reportcard with photos as well as gave us a call halfway through letting us know how he was doing and who he played with. She also gave us a cute little paper reportcard that she has little hearts and pawprints drawn all over. read more

I have a little Maltese that had a bad experience at a kennel near by. Paw Commons knows how to take care of little dogs. He can't wait to get out of the car to go inside! I feel at ease leaving him and you can look at them on the webcam if you want to check in. read more

We needed to find last min accommodations to board our cherished (and spoiled) AmStaff for a few days of travel and are SO glad we found Paw Commons!!! The staff loved him and sent us great updates-the facility is clean and Kingston had a blast and was a happy boy at pick up! Highly recommend! read more

We have been customers of Paw Commons Encinitas for about 3 years ever since our black lab was a little puppy and we enrolled him in puppy training classes . I love Paw Commons because they offer so many services in one spot and I don't have to take him to a lot of different places. They offer grooming, daycare (half and full day), overnight boarding, and dog training (group classes, private sessions at Paw Commons, or home sessions). Training: We enrolled our dog when he was a few months old in the group puppy classes. It was a small group with only 1 other dog. The trainer, Christie, was so knowledgeable, personable, and amazing with dogs. We learned how to be dog trainers ourselves! We did the second puppy class (I think it's called puppy class 102) where we were able to talk about specific behaviors we want fixed like pulling when our dog walks on his leash, jumping up on people or the counter, etc. Overnight Boarding: Our dog loves to play with other dogs so we let him play during the day and sleep in the standard room (least expensive option). It is large enough for our 70 lb. lab with his big dog bed too. They can provide food or you can bring your own. They let us bring his own dog bowl, toys, and are very accommodating. You can ever buy a bull stick or peanut butter Kong for your pup to enjoy during their stay. Through my research, Paw Commons provided the most playtime at the best price. Grooming: Our dog does not get haircuts but their basic bath is affordable and he stays clean and smells good for several weeks. We love picking him up from boarding all clean! Daycare: Since our dog loves to play with other dogs, Paw Commons is perfect for him. Their facility is all indoors, which I like because we can send our dog when it's raining. They have an area for small dogs and another area for big dogs. If you send your dog to daycare, ask about their punch card. You can buy 5 or 10 days of daycare at a discounted price. We are so happy with Paw Commons! Check them out and I'm sure you'll love them too! read more

Occasionally I'll pick up my girlfriend's dog for her, and from what I can tell, he adores the staff. It's also very clear that the staff enjoy their jobs and equally adore the dogs, and most of them appear to be very knowledgeable. The manager there, Taylor, is always very polite and has given some great recommendations on food/treats. He's almost always exhausted when I get him, so I know he's getting a good work out. Play area also looks to be very well kept, so never really worry about little man getting sick with anything. read more
