Almost brought my pup here yesterday, was walking up to the door on mission street, the windows were open and I could hear the worker screaming at the dogs every time they barked. And sounded like he was slamming a crate shut each time he screamed. Could also see in the basement because the window was open, just a crate and a food and water bowl and a very lonely pup. I suggest no one bring their dog here. We walked away immediately. Also smelled pretty bad walking by, you would think that it would be cleaned regularly read more

We've trusted Paws Pet N' Play to take care of our dog for over 3yrs now. We typically do the daily care package and from time to time the overnight service when we're on vacation. They've done a great job and would recommend them for your puppy or adult dog! read more

This review is for 11/8/22 evaluation, 11/9/22 overnight, pick up 11/10/22. My fur baby Jax is 5 month Boggle (Beagle Boxer w Amstaf, pit in him). I had a big event at work and needed to find a place that will take him in in short notice. After searching and reading reviews we decided to schedule an evaluation. this place is located between San Jose Ave and Mission street at the Top of the Hill in Daly City. Street parking. We walked in and was greeted with a friendly face. The owner provided us with all the info, took Jax for 2 hours to meet and make friends. After 2 hours, Jax seemed to have enjoyed himself ndr didn't want to leave. They sent me pics to let me know what wasn't on and that helped. We got home and he was tired. We decided to bring him back for an overnight stay. 11/9/22 drop off - was easy. I wasn't worried and what gave me peace is that Jax seemed eager to go in and start his day. Picked him up at 540pm and he didn't seem to want to go home. Aside from the overnight, I opted to purchase the wash too which is half off w an overnight stay. We are definitely going to purchase the package so Jax can go back. This is great socializing time and it builds confidence. Price is pretty reasonable and the place looks clean. Give this place a try. Jax loves it so far and he comes home tired and ready for bed read more

This is such a neighborhood gem. We got an older puppy in the middle of the pandemic and we were really wanting to get him in a doggy day care so he could play and socialize with some dog friends, even though us humans are not allowed to (yes I am jealous of my dog's social life). The team at Paws Pet n' Play were very welcoming and helped schedule my pups meet and great right away. There is hand sanitizer and everyone is wearing masks when interacting with customers. The facility is large with beautiful windows that let in a ton of natural light. The dogs always look like they are having an amazing time. The owners are very attentive and make sure that the pups are all getting along, staying hydrated, and taking breaks if the get over stimulated (which is so helpful for our pup who just can't stop playing). I appreciate greatly how they provide me with updates on how the dogs are doing via Instagram and at the end of the day when I go pick the pup up. My dog now can't live without this place, he is happiest when there with his friends. He is a better puppy because of Paws Pet n' Play. read more

Paws Pet N' Play - My pup loving on his friend having so much fun. - Pet Boarding Near Me - Daly City, California

Let me say up front that had I reviewed this place a year ago, I would've given it five stars hands down. Leon, who used to own this establishment was fantastic. We've been bringing our dog here frequently since adopting him two years ago. Since selling the business recently, it's been going downhill. The main reason I trusted leaving my dog there initially was because the owner Leon has a degree in dog psychology. There are no webcams at this daycare and I'm fine with that knowing that there's a dog expert around. The new owner does not have any such degree, and he doesn't know nearly as much about dogs. He's also been raising the prices significantly lately. For the whole two year period that I was bringing my dog there, it cost 35-40$ per day with an additional $10 if you'd like your dog to get a bath. I found it very reasonable. I went recently and paid $50 to bring my dog for a single day. I asked about him getting a bath afterwards, and they told me it would be an additional $35 to get my dog a bath (my dog is 15 lbs and I bring my own shampoo). Basically, quality has been declining while prices have been increasing. It's unfortunate, but it looks like I'm going to have to find him a new daycare. read more

**Review is for daycare and facility only** I'll preface by saying this day care may be the perfect situation for someone else and their dog, however my puppy is in need of a place with more structure. I really wanted to love Paws Pet N' Play and use them as my main daycare because the location, prices and pick up/drop off made it extremely accessible as someone who needs regular daycare. The staff was very friendly and flexible. Pros: -Great customer service/accommodating staff- They refunded me when I was charged the wrong amount, and were open to taking my 7 month pom puppy to the back for some quiet time since she needs puppy naps throughout the day -Flexible- they don't require reservations and can provide pick up/drop off for a fee. -No reservations/great hours- you have the freedom to drop your pup off for a few hours or the whole day if you want -Affordable -Meet and greet to make sure your dog has decent temperament and gets along with the others -Great action shots posted on instagram of your pup Cons: -Questionable cleanliness- it smells bad all the time. Despite the built-in drainage system and all windows being open, I was told they only wash the artificial grass down 4x a week. Inhaling that much ammonia from that many dogs urinating all day can be a health hazard for both the staff and pets. Residual urine = constant moisture = mold probably? Also my dog came home smelling + feeling gross. They offer baths, but that drives up cost real fast. -No structure to day care other than them feeding lunch and dinner. Dogs are allowed to do as they please from 7am to 6pm -No reservations - 60-70+ dogs are allowed to be in the facility at one time and that can be over stimulating for both big/small dogs. Granted they do a trial first with your pups, but with that many dogs on site, things can go south fast. I believe they had mentioned maybe up to 4 people are supervising at a time? -No cots/beds - they told me the dogs will just lay on the ground up against the fence when they're tired -The dogs are constantly barking with little to no correction. For my pup, this was one of the deal breakers because I didn't want her to regress and develop a bad barking habit. Also, I saw that someone named Leon had a dog psychology cert, however I don't know if this person is actually on site working with the dogs. I'd never seen or met them. With that said, this place has a lot of potential and I hope they're open for some improvements, but for now my pup will have to attend some place with a little more control. read more

Leon runs the best neighborhood spot for pups of all ages to meet and have fun with one another! I brought my 4-month-old puppy Lychee there because I noticed that she kept getting really shaky and nervous whenever she saw another dog while out on walks. Leon was great about getting her accustomed to the space and did a really wonderful job the first day of letting her gradually meet friendly dogs one-on-one in her own little spot before mixing her with the group. Now when we're on walks instead of running away from the other dogs she keeps trying to get us to walk towards them! She has gotten so much more comfortable and better socialized. She also loves Leon and Bonnie and runs into their arms without really paying me any mind when I go to drop her off. I also really appreciate how they take the time to tell me how she did and who she played with. Leon even sends me photos on my phone because I don't have Instagram. If you're a new pup parent like me, I'd strongly recommend checking out Paws Pet N' Play! It's been a great way for me to get a bunch of stuff done for a couple of hours and rest assured knowing that my puppy is having a blast. read more

We were recommended by friends to this place and we are very happy we have found them! We have brought our puppy Blu (5 month sweet and hyper) Aussie doodle to daycare and have had good experiences. They are very flexible, clean, and great to work with. I would recommend this place if you need care for your fur babies. Blu is always happy to play!! read more

Paws Pet N' Play - Blu @ daycare loving it!! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Daly City, California

just now NEW This is the first time my wife and I are ever writing a review; and that is only because this day care is THE BEST daycare in all of the Bay (we have looked around a lot, yes...) The owners and staff, every single person treats our Dobby - like she is their family... Dobby has serious separation anxiety; and the owner, who we call "uncle" - sometimes will even keep her next to him all the time - to make sure she isn't afraid (especially on overnight stays)... we call the owner "uncle" - because we truly feel like family with him... We recently went home to Southeast Asia for 3 weeks - and the only way we could even plan the trip, and do it with peace of mind is knowing that Dobby was with this utmost caring place. This is the best place to leave your dog... they personalize their attention to each dog. I cannot rate this place and this family highly enough... this is hands down the BEST / SAFEST / HAPPIEST place you can leave your dog... We are never taking or leaving Dobby anywhere else - this is the best there is! read more

Where to start with Paws Pet N' Play...We got a Miniature Schnauzer (Archy_Wallace) and started bringing him there at ~4months old and he has loved the socialization and the amazing space there. The ownership and staff there are great, they stay engaged and give you a full update on your dogs behavior every time you bring him there. I love the fact that they keep their IG stories up to date so you can keep an eye on how your furry family member is doing through their stay. The space itself is super clean and big enough to let them run around and get their cardio in :). Archy has a lot of energy and he loves his furry friends at Paws N' Play, every time we get near it when we drop him off he gets extremely excited. We tried other doggie daycares and this one was the winner for both Archy and us. Thanks @pawspetnplay for letting our little Archy spend time with you guys and keeping him safe and happy. read more

Bring your puppy to paws pet n' play!!! I love bringing my dogs for day care and boarding here. Leon is so attentive and has ample knowledge on dog care taking. He watches the dogs and you can genuinely see how he cares for my pup. If you ever have any issues or want any pictures of your pup, he's there. The day care floors have a drainage system where it automatically drains water through the ground. The facility is so clean and there's no wet dog smell that most dog day cares have. I highly recommend bringing your pup to day care during the day if you are out for work. read more

Best doggy daycare. My puppy has been going here for 4 months now and she plays with great dogs. They vet each dog that the take on so you don't have to worry. I've gotten the drop off and pick up service. They open 7 days a week and their hours are great too accommodate working dog patterns. The staff and owner are wonderful and treat the dogs as if they were their own. Got recommended by previous clients and glad I did. The fees are very reasonable for the quality care. Thank you! read more

We've got a 14 year old doggo who still has lots of energy. When we go on vacay she gets separation anxiety so we tried to find a place that was cage free that allowed her to play the whole time - and this is the place! She was here on multiple occasions, 8 days/nights was the longest and no separation anxiety. She was too busy playing with all the dogs! Because she's older, they also paid attention to when she needed extra breaks. Would highly recommend this place :) Plus, they screen every doggo that comes in so you know all the doggos there are extra good doggos! read more

I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp! Leon and his staff are true pros, and my dog has the best time playing with other doggos here. They do a great job capturing Kodak moments on their IG account to show all the dogs playing, and are sweet about giving me updates on my dog's socialization and growth. If your dog needs a safe, clean place to run around, burn off energy, and socialize with a diverse group of dogs, this is it! read more

I got my corgi pup Momo in April 2020, right after COVID hit. In the first few months, I grew more and more worried that she wouldn't be socialized well enough in that critical time period, since we couldn't really meet other dogs. She was so terrified of other dogs that when I carried her into Paws Pet N' Play for our meet-and-greet at 4 months of age, she peed on my arm as she heard the other dogs playing! But Leon is a pro - he gave Momo her own section of the play space, let her explore at her own pace, and one by one brought in other small, well-mannered dogs to begin getting her comfortable. After that short 2 hour session, Momo was never scared of another dog again! I ended up taking Momo here at least once a week, and over time she developed into an incredibly well behaved, respectful pup around other dogs. She couldn't contain her excitement every time we walked through the door (but luckily no more pee!). Leon always gave updates if he noticed anything off with her, and the Instagram photos were always a joy to see. And best of all, after each session I picked up a dog that fell asleep the moment we got home. One of the worst aspects of moving away from the Daly City area was having to say goodbye to Paws Pet N' Play - I know Momo already misses her friends, and the peace of mind I felt leaving her there will be hard for another doggie daycare to match. read more

The owner Leon is amazing. He is all about the animals. He's extremely knowledgeable about dogs and even has a dog psychology certification. They have special K9 floors that they can wash down and drains out so it doesn't smell. Hope you have the pleasure of bringing your dog here. read more

During the meet and greet, I thought I would get a tour of the facility and my puppy would play around with other dogs so they could evaluate their behavior. After filling out the paperwork, we were rushed to leave because our dog "acts differently" when the owners are away. As a dog mom, I like to get a better understanding of the environment my puppy will be in, especially if he would be staying for a couple of days. Knowing that the owner has a husky himself, you would think that he would be able to take better care of my dog. I got a tour only after I had been persistent in asking for one. While boarding, I didn't get any update on my pup until I asked the next day. My pup apparently got into a fight with another dog the day he got dropped off and I was only notified about this after I asked how he was doing the next day. He had a deep puncture wound on his arm. Leon cleaned up the wound, but still concerning that I didn't find out until after I had asked. It's been a week since I boarded my 1 year old Siberian Husky for two days at Paws Pet n Play. I instantly felt something was off during pick up. Originally, I thought he was just exhausted from all the play time so I monitored his behavior for a few days but it's been the same after an entire week has passed. Since boarding, his energy has been low and he became more skittish. I have other small dogs living in the same household and he's always gotten along with them. They play everyday but now, he behaves differently and doesn't even want to play with one of them or even make eye contact. I am grateful for Leon to accept my pup last minute, because not alot of doggy day cares take in unneutered dogs, but I have been worried in his change of behavior and will be taking him to the vet to get checked out soon. I see a lot of potential in this place, but unfortunately because of this event it will most likely be our first and last visit. read more

Been taking Bandit to doggy day care a few times before he goes full time and he looooves this place!! Leon and his crew are amazing with all the dogs. They are accommodating to all the dogs needs and always very pleasant to deal with when you drop off and pick up your pup. They also have IG stories throughout the day and you can see what your pup is up to!! Highly recommend this place if you need a safe fun place to have your dog while you work, etc. very reasonable pricing as well! read more

Leon is is fantastic with dogs individually and as a pack. Our dog Luna is now 2 1/2 years old and we know that her socialization time at Paws is perfect to burn the extra energy and make sure she's well behaved. Leon takes great care of all dogs and we love taking Luna here. We're tried other doggie day cares in the area and they were not worth the money. Leon and Paws Pet N'Play is the best doggie day care in the Bay Area, hands down. The Instagram account and updates are a wonderful bonus! read more

Shanti finally found her favorite doggie daycare place after looking for 4 years. Leon and the staff truly have a passion for playing with dogs and teaching them good doggie manners. Paws Pet N'Play encouraged Shanti to play - usually she goes to daycare and lays down all day. They have also socialized Shanti and now she's calm around other dogs and puppies. Thank you!! read more

Great doggie day care. Leon and his staff are attentive and great with all the dogs. My bulldogs come home tired after playing and having fun. I love that I get a detailed and personalized report on my dogs when I pick them up. Reasonable prices, open early and close late. I enjoy the pictures and videos sent to me throughout the day. I highly recommend Paws Pet n' Play. read more

We have the highest praise for PPP and it's owner Leon. A true dog lover and entrepreneur. Beautiful surroundings and our boy Winfield was immediately taken in and treated like a king EVEN though we were traveling and not local and could not do the normal day check etc...highly recommended for all but especially travelers to the Bat area and RVers like us nearby at Pacifica. Thanks again. Winfield will Miss you Leon! read more

If you're looking for a fantastic daycare and boarding with a personal touch, look no further. Paws Pet N Play had been our go to for daycare and boarding for our pug for the last year and I am just sad we're moving away from this great business. I always felt so good about leaving our dog here and I'm a bit of a neurotic dog mom. Leon always sent updates with photos when we were boarding and was extremely responsive to text. When we had our baby he was extremely flexible with us for pick up and drop off- going out of his way to make sure our pup was taken care of when we were at the hospital. I can't spell highly enough of this place! read more

Was up in Pacifica for a wedding recently and boarded my dog. I'm so happy we found Paws Pet N'Play. My bullmastiff was very well taken care for! The owner Leon is so kind and made me feel comfortable from the minute I dropped my dog off. He sent text and video updates, and answered any questions I had. I wish we had a place like this down in Los Angeles! Thank you Leon and staff for everything...will definitely drop Zeke off when we are in town again! read more

We are very pleased with this daycare and boarded our 2 dogs recently for 4 days. Leon sent us updates daily with pictures. Emily a bichon and Valentina a lab/ shepherd were well cared for and we felt comfortable leaving them in such caring hands. Highly recommend this place. read more

My puppy Pegi loves coming here! It's a nice big facility for the dog to play around. I would highly recommend !!

I'm so happy this daycare open in my neighborhood its so close and convenient (it's open 7 days a week!) My husky has been coming here since it open, and he loves Leon and Bonnie. He starts going in circles in backseat of the car as soon I start approaching the daycare, and he literally runs inside, and runs to Leon. (An obvious sign how much he likes Leon). The daycare itself super clean, has a lot room for dogs to run, play, relax and just be themselves. Leon is super friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible with his clients. I have to say this second daycare I've taken my dog, and by far is my favorite one and def my husky favorite daycare!! He comes home calm, and super tired. You def will not go wrong in bringing your puppy or doggie here! :) read more

Just boarded my 12 year old dog, Chase, at Paws Pet N' Play for the first time over the holiday weekend and had a great experience. When we initially visited to do the meet and greet, Leon, the owner, showed us around the facility. It was very clean and neat, and didn't have a strong odor you find at other facilities. Chase is a small dog and there was a designated area for him to play all day with other small dogs (as well as another separate area for large dogs). While the dogs are crate free during their stay, the facility does have different spaces, rooms for different purposes, such as a "sleep" room that is away from the windows/street noise and is darker, if the dogs are more comfortable there. Leon provided updates and pictures throughout the weekend, which gave me a lot of comfort that Chase was being taken care of and doing well. He was also very accommodating with our schedule and answering questions and making sure we were comfortable with boarding Chase. The location is easy to get to. There is no specific parking lot, but there is plenty of street and/or cheap metered parking very close by. While Paws Pet N'Play is relatively new, I would definitely recommend boarding your dog here. We will definitely board Chase here in the future whenever we need to. read more

I brought my dog in for an all-day stay, and she had an amazing time. The facilities are incredibly well maintained, and the owner is friendly, attentive, and so great with all of the pets under his care. My dog absolutely loved him and didn't want to go home! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for high-quality service - it doesn't get better than this. read more

Highly recommend dog daycare at Paws Pet N' Play! I've had nothing but a great experience there- easy communication with the owner/staff, constant updates while my dog is at daycare via Instagram, and the owner, Leon, goes above and beyond to accommodate pick-ups and drop-offs when we're in a pinch. The facility is clean, bright, and large enough for my dog to run around with other fur friends! My energetic dog also LOVES it there and sprints towards the door whenever we arrive. It's a great place for him to let out all his energy! 5+ stars! read more

Our high energy Goldendoodle loves coming here for daycare. He comes home a tired and happy pup! The facility is clean and convenient. Prices are also economical for the amount of personalized attention Duncan receives. In between drop off and pick up, Leon has been consistently personable and his expertise on dog behavior and play styles really put me at ease. Also love the photo and video updates that get sent to me throughout the day! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Paws Pet N' Play. My partner and I visited several local daycares for our dog when we noticed Paws right down the street. It has changed our dogs behavior dramatically for the better. The best thing for a 6month old puppy is all day playing with other dogs. He has made best friends at school that he loves! Leon and his staff take terrific care of Calvin, and treat him like their own. They always give us a full report of his entire day, which is important for helicopter parents like us. I know he loves his days there, because he races to door when we pull up each morning. I love how knowledgeable the staff is about animals. Once, Calvin got injured outside of school and the staff gave me much needed advice and offered to care for him when he got back to Paws. Another added bonus is the active Instagram account which Leon keeps updated everyday. Whenever I miss my baby, Calvin, I can log on to IG and watch him playing with all his friends, napping, and being a good boy. He posts awesome content so you feel like you're there with him. Seriously, this place is the best!! We've recommended it to everyone we know. The price is comparable to having a dog walker stop by 1x and it allows him to play all day - his favorite! read more

Great facility. There is lots of room for our fur child to run. Leon is the best!!! He is very knowledgeable and personable. Our fur kids comes home happy and tired. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

The staff are very knowledgeable about dogs and keep everyone safe. My dog likes to play quite rough and doesn't pick up on social cues from other dogs well, but she was able to have a great day at the day care and stayed safe. Flexible drop off and pick up. read more

This is our first time taking our girl to a doggie daycare and she was a little dubious initially, mostly due to her not being well socialized with other dogs and her anxiety over being left in a strange place without her people. After a few visits she has really come out of her shell and absolutely loves going here now! She loves Leon and plays the entire time she is there. I bring home a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. We get lots of feedback about her visits and Leon is very responsive with communication. We've also used the shuttle service, which is super convenient and appreciated, as our work hours are outside of their business hours. We highly recommend this place for dog care. So happy to have them in our neighborhood! read more

Dog parks are not good, cause you just don't know if an a-hole dog with an owner that does not know any better, nor care about it to be there. A place like Paws Pet N Play is great, because it's supervised and do not allow a-hole dogs once realized. Play area comparison: - Petsmart - Roughly 10x20 = 200 sq ft. - Paws Pet N Play - They have 2 sections, 1 is 1500 sq ft, while the other is 2000 sq ft. In this case, it's true that bigger is better, for your dog to run around in. For me, unfortunately, it's the motion of the ocean that matters :) I did a meet and greet with Leon, he is very nice, professional and knows dogs. I've brought my dog here several times already and each time when I go to pick her up, she is happy and tired out, once home, she wants to rest and is very calm. Definitely will be bringing her back more. @Deanna L. review from 8/16/2019 of Elk Grove, CA I read your review and can't help but to counter what you have stated. I just do not like unjustified reviews. - 1st off, you sound like a helicopter mom of dogs. - If you KNOW anything about dogs, they do act differently when the owner is around or not around, obviously, you do not know. Asking to have a tour around the place while other dogs are there, it's just going to get all the other dogs going/barking. - It sounds like your beloved fur baby needs obedience training and behavioral correction, but sounds like you are the type that you see nothing wrong with your so called fur baby. - Get a clue, dogs do not think like humans. One day, your aggressive beautiful fur baby, as it gets bigger, attacks a person, there's a chance it may be put down, then you are still gonna blame it on others, you are just one of those type. My suggestion as a long time dog owner and train my dogs to be obedient and friendly, for your dog's safety, go find a good trainer, since you definitely do not qualify as one(you may be delusional), unless you want to see your poor baby get put down someday, due to YOU being a crappy dog handler, is that what you want? read more

This place is amazing. The owner and his team are such hardworking, genuinely nice people I just can't believe we found this and them and cross my fingers they will stay in business forever. Our dog was not an easy puppy and other doggy daycare businesses gave us such a hard time. We finally found Leon and his team and our lives got so much better. We leave our Samoyed with them without fear, both for daycare and for boarding. They understand her and her character. They let her be who she is and help guide her in the right direction. Other places gave us the feeling they will only care for dogs that are already relaxed, and will demonstrate a certain character these places had in their mind previously. Go check these place out, you won't be sorry! read more
