    Not sure if I can express everything I need to express in a review. We've been using Paws Play for about 5+ years now. Erik, Jessica and their team are PHENOMENAL. We are a busy household of 2 working parents, 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 dogs. We felt so guilty when our doggies didn't get enough exercise and thus had to find some help. When we first met Jessica she was so easy going and attentive to our needs and reassured us that our mini Aussies would be well cared for and loved. She kept true to her word. Whether it's Jessica, Erik or one of their outstanding team members who took our dogs out, the updates always reflected that they knew our dogs' personalities. We trusted them so much that we even used them for overnight services. It's always a good sign when you see your dogs get SUPER excited to greet them. Everyone has always been professional and helpful. As a parent with a gazillion things on my mind, one of the things I appreciated the most was when Erik/Jessica would send me an email or text to remind me about upcoming Holidays or upcoming rainy weather and asked what my preference would be for our dog care that week. I also love how they really try to be flexible - I've definitely sent a few last minute requests and they always seemed to make it work. Oh, and side note their Holiday Cards are always so cute and personalized lol. :) 5 years later it's hard for us to say goodbye as we are moving out of the area - if you are reading this I highly recommend their service. They are the type of people who you'd want to love and care for your pets when you can't yourself. Thanks for everything Erik and Jessica!

    I have always been skeptical of hiring someone to take my dogs on a walk without me since my German Shepherd can be a bit of a terror with strangers. She had ZERO issues with Jess. Both of my dogs warmed up to her so fast, and they are so excited to see her when she comes over. It makes my long 12-13 hour shifts so much less stressful knowing that Jess will be around to hang out with the dogs while I'm at work. She sends me pictures of them on their walks, and even writes a little note in a daily journal to let me know how their walks went! If you're looking for someone to watch your furry children while you're away, look no further! Highly recommend!!!

    Play time with bubbles. Thank you Bethany!

He's still extra energetic, but when we've had to get control, his training is key. He also got injured playing and had to undergo a major knee surgery... THANK GOODNESS for the training!

This was the very first time we left our 1-year-old dog with someone. He's almost 80 pounds of pure energy, a big, happy, very enthusiastic boy so choosing the right person felt incredibly important. I was anxious and very cautious about who we could trust. From day one, Sara exceeded every expectation. She didn't just "watch" our dog -- she worked with him every single day with so much passion, patience, and love. When he came home after two weeks, the difference was remarkable. He was calmer, more focused, and able to control his excitement much better. Walking him used to be a struggle -- he pulled constantly and tried to grab everything he saw on the street. Now, our walks are so much easier and more enjoyable. Of course, there's no magic in dog training -- consistency is key, and we continue to reinforce what he learned -- but his biggest issue, jumping on people, improved dramatically. The foundation she built made such a difference. What also gave us tremendous peace of mind was her communication. Sara sent frequent updates, photos, and videos showing us what he was learning and how he was doing. On top of that, we received detailed daily emails about his overall condition. It made us feel completely reassured that we had chosen the right person. She even gave him several baths during his stay! Her place is incredible , very secure, spacious, and extremely dog-friendly. It honestly felt like a big farm where dogs can feel free yet safe. Sara is truly passionate, caring, and loving. Her knowledge of different breeds and her training methods are impressive and effective. You can clearly see that she genuinely loves what she does. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner, no matter the age or breed. Leaving your dog with someone for the first time is never easy, but with Sara, you can feel confident your dog is in the best possible hands.

A previous company would often decline requests and Sean has always been so relaxed to do business with.

Sean is very communicative, organized, and knowledgeable and his love for and commitment to the animals he provides care for is obvious. We have never had any issues. The walkers have all been friendly, communicative, and send daily photos and updates of the walks. Our dogs specifically love Monique! One of our dogs is quite anxious but he warmed up to her immediately and they have a great bond. She is always taking them on fun adventures through our neighborhood. If you're looking for superior care for your pets, then I highly recommend Little Buddies!!

    Now that I no longer live in my old place or in the area, I feel more comfortable writing this…read more Jeremy walked my dog for a few months after I moved to San Diego. He did a fine job, and I didn't have any major issues. My only issue in the beginning was that he told me AFTER our meet and greet that the time clock for walks starts when he walks into the building. I showed him the entrance closer to my place (which is right by the entrance), but he wasn't using that one at first. While I had wished that he communicated this during our meet and greet, I wasn't upset by it after we had established a steady routine. A few weeks/months after I settled into my new job, I had been granted the ability to work from home full time with a few occasional sporadic days in the office. I texted him to tell him that I won't need a walker after a certain date and explained that I'll be WFH. I even told him that I'd still like to reach out on days I'd have to be in-office. Later that day, he called to "ask" me what he did wrong. His tone was extremely confrontational and aggressive. I reiterated that I don't need a walker anymore because my situation had changed. He kept demanding an explanation. Honestly, I felt really put off by this. I had to tell him several times that it's because the situation had changed and it took multiple attempts to get him off the phone. He kept trying to push me because he didn't seem to believe me. Honestly, I don't care if he did. Before this conversation, I probably would have asked him to walk my dog on the days that I'd be in the office, but this made me so uncomfortable. Over the period of several months, he occasionally texted and/or called to ask me if we had any dog walking needs. I didn't answer, but eventually texted him to tell him that we did not. I understand his wanting a "reason" to try to improve. However, I gave him a reason. And even if I didn't, I don't necessarily owe him one to the point where he has to demand one repeatedly.

    Having Jeremy as our Wedding Chaperone was amazing!…read more We have two large dogs who many describe as "hard to handle, quirky and different". This always makes me nervous when choosing anyone to work with them. Jeremy is actually the only person I am comfortable choosing when it comes to caring for my dogs. Especially my older dog who displays reactive behavior while on leash. Jeremy knows exactly how to handle my dogs, and keeps them calm and happy! This is why it was an easy choice to ask him to act as our Wedding Chaperone for the dogs on our wedding day! The dogs had a big job of walking down the aisle and I was so nervous how they would react before and after the ceremony. Because of his help they did AMAZING! What made this service so special is that 1) Jeremy is very professional and thoughtful and came dressed ceremony ready. 2) He took a lot of time and was very intentional about making sure the dogs were comfortable. 3) He made sure the dogs had everything they needed at all times! He even called ahead of time asking if he should print a pop up tent to shield them from the sun! So so thoughtful! 4) He was a lifesaver during family photos and helped get the dogs posed!! An IMPOSSIBLE task! But he made it happen! 5) When it was time to say goodbye he reviewed the dog's nighttime routine with us and I knew they were in great hands! So I could relax for the rest of my wedding! He brought them home, walked them, fed them and kept us up to date on everything we needed to know! In summary, Jeremy really helped make this day special for us. We couldn't have picked a better person to care for our dogs and make the dream of the dogs being present a reality!! For anyone who wants to involve their dogs in their special day or any other special events, I highly recommend using him for your event! It gives you the peace of mind to enjoy yourself while knowing your precious cargo is well cared for! Prices were fair, communication is outstanding, response time is prompt! And quality of care is unmatched! I'm a VERY happy dog mom!
