Jessica and Erik are AMAZING! They were referred to us by friends to watch our cat Cody when we go out of town. Jessica came over for an initial meeting/get to know us and our cat. She was fantastic, even brought Cody a bag of toys and treats! Needless to say, they are top notch, professional, and responsive. We use an app, that allows us to get daily updates and photos and messages about our fur baby. They are always punctual and caring and I can not recommend them enough. Cats and dogs, it is not easy to find a cat sitter in San Diego, we no longer could depend on family and friends, so this was a huge weight off our shoulders, now that we have Paws Play, we can go away whenever we want and know that our cat will be well cared for. Thank you Jessica and Erik! We highly recommend them for your fur babies! read more

I have been using Paws Play for years now. I have stayed with them so long because they have literally met all our needs for our pet! They are reliable, flexible and respectful. Their friendliness and warmth comes through to humans and pets alike. I have no need to go anywhere else for these services! read more

I have been using Paws Play for several years now. I've leveraged their many services including park outings and taking care of my pup when out of town. The owners are super nice and very responsive. Unfortunately, due to COVID, they have scaled back staffing. I highly recommend Paws Play and if you are in need of any of their services, I urge you to give them a call. read more

Paws Play - Happy pup after a mid-morning outing. - Dog Walkers Near Me

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! read more

I have been using paws play for about a year and I am extremely happy with their service. My doggo has epilepsy and it's difficult finding someone to trust in the care of my pup. They give him medication when I request it, I get updates at the end of the visit, and they're always on time. I highly recommend them!! :) read more

We had a wonderful first experience with Paws Play's services for our two cats. Jessica is super responsive, professional, and kind. We got our daily kitty-updates with photos, and when we returned, the cats were happy and the house was in great condition. Look forward to our next trip because I know it will be stress-free, not worrying about our kitties! read more

Our kitties are kind of needy, for cats. They love to play and interact with us, so when we were planning to be out of town for about a week, I thought I should have someone check up on them. Jessica is very professional and reliable. From the moment I met her, I knew our two kitties would be in good hands. She sends text updates with pics of what they're up to and she sent us a Christmas card with the pics too! So very thought ful. Reasonable rates as well. She came by a couple times for about $20/30 minutes. That includes scooping our cat poop too, which I didn't expect. It's so worth the money to have the peace of mind that our kitties are ok and not too lonely. read more

Our family worked with Paws Play for 5 years to walk our dog Sophie while we were at work and while we worked from home. Erik and Jess were always accommodating of our special requests for our dog, who has some reactivity to other dogs and triggers. The walkers we were assigned over the years were always kind, respectful and great with Sophie. I would highly recommend Paws Play for any pet care needs. read more

I've been using paws play for 7 or 8 years for walks and park outings. We love the owners and their staff. Everyone so genuinely loves our dog and she loves them too! read more

We have been using Paws Play for over a year whenever we need cat-sitting services. Jessica & Erik send us daily updates with pictures of our kitties that always put my mind at ease when we are out of town. It is such a comfort knowing that our babies are being cared for by people we trust. If you are looking for reliable pet care at reasonable prices, give them a call? read more

We have been using Paws Play for about 6 months now after moving to Point Loma and can say without a doubt, we have found the most affordable, reliable, professional and compassionate care givers for our pets. We have a larger breed dog (boxer) and a cat who are not without their own unique issues. We initially were on the hunt for a walker on one of those "Uber for dog walking" sites when we realized we were giving our home over to strangers. The idea of a rotating cast with access to our home bothered us, the few dollars saved was simply not worth it. We found Paws Play through a referral from a friend. After our initial inquiry, Jessica was professional and meticulous about recording information we felt was important for the care of our pets on her visit to our home for a free consultation. We never had to remind them of anything on subsequent visits. Paws Play has been extremely flexible with us through schedule changes, sickness, home and family emergencies, and vacations. Over the past 6 months we have had 3 consistent walkers without a lot of surprise in staffing changes even as our needs changed. We have come to trust and look forward to updates from our walkers. There is nothing better when you're at work or hundreds of miles away and you get an update with pictures of your furry ones. The holiday card with your own pet's happy faces looking back at you is an unexpected touch. We recently returned from our first trip where in-home overnight stays were provided over a weeks time. Besides getting consistent communication from our caregiver Adriana, upon returning home we actually had to search for evidence that a human was there. It was as if our pets took care of themselves, our home was immaculate! Jessica, Erik and their staff really understand what it takes to provide quality care for your pets. Look no further than Paws Play. read more

Just wanted to let yelpers know that Paws Play did an amazing job at taking care of our cats pitch and cali. I love that they follow up every time they visited our fur babies to keep my wife and I in the loop. Great service and highly recommend !! read more

Jessica, Dana and Regina did an amazing job looking after our two little kitties. They were responsive, attentive, reliable and we trusted them implicitly to take care of our cats. They even put up with our over the top requests for pictures and multiple text and email updates and gave us the peace of mind to be able to enjoy our couple of days away. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring company and group of people to look after their pets. Thanks for doing a great job! read more

We have been using Paws Play for the second year now and they are amazing! We are usually gone for a long amount of time and we couldn't be more satisfied. They take care of our cat and this year we have added some Bettas to our family. They sent us a daily report with pictures. We were able to relax and not worry about our critters. We will be using them for our next trip. Thank you Jessica & Erik! read more

I've been using Paws Play for a little over a year now and can't say enough about Jessica, Erik and their entire staff! I travel pretty frequently for business and these guys have taken care of my golden retriever Bailey better than any service or kennel I've used in the past. I highly recommend these guys to anyone that just needs an evening walk, is going away for a weekend or is traveling for a week or more on business. Thanks Paws Play!!! read more

We are out of town a lot and it's great to know that we can depend on Jessica whenever we need her to take care of Chloe and Luke. Luke - the ginormous cat - doesn't like many people, but has no problem with Jessica. Chloe - the lovable dog - adores daily walks and the individual attention she receives afterward while Jessica is also playing with Luke. We always come home to happy pets and will definitely use her services even when we're not out of town! read more

I've used Paws Play for in-home, overnight pet-sitting on several occasions. They do great work, my dog always seems happy and healthy and my home is in good order upon my return. Their sitters have earned our trust! read more

I love paws play! We have been using their service for several years. They are always reliable and awesome with our 3 cats. I especially love the daily updates with photos. Highly recommend paws play! Thank you! read more

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!!! read more

Paws Play has been taking care of our dog for nearly two years for mid-day walks and weekend vacations. Jessica and her staff have saved us in may spots where we can't get home when we had planned or unexpected scheduling made it impossible for us to cover our pup's walks. Recently, Jessica was able to cover our mid-day walks last-minute while I was jury duty. I was in denial I'd actually be picked, lesson learned there! Anyhow, I am so glad that I have Paws Play to provide such great, reliable care for our dog - it certainly brings a peace of mind when life brings unexpected and stressful twists. read more

I'm so thankful to have Paws Play take care of my sweet Tangie girl. I love having the peace of mind that Tangie is being taken care of and getting attention from someone she feels comfortable with. She gets fresh water, food, clean kitty litter and gets some play time too with catnip bubbles or spending time outdoors. I'm really happy with their service all around! read more

We have been clients of Erik and Jessica and Paws Play for two years, using their excellent service every week. We have been incredibly well served by them and their kind and conscientious walkers without fail. Their attention to detail, flexibility, responsivess, hiring practices, pricing are excellent. We are moving out of State and will miss them terribly! Employ them with confidence. These are really ethical, organized people who love animals. read more

Been using Paws Play since I moved here to San Diego, almost a year ago. I live by myself and travel frequently for business (and super rare 'fun' travel!). I have 2 senior cats and PP does a great job: fast response when I need pet visits for the week, even SUPER last minute: I emailed them from the plane once because I completely forgot to request a visit! Even tho I left money on the counter for them :P Great communication during the week as well with updates and pics of my BAYBAHS!!!! VERY RELIABLE! Which is what I need as a single chick in this game called Life. Bummed I'm moving away, I hope to find someone as good as they have been! A+ Highly Recommend! Would do business again :) (whoops, on Yelp, not eBay) read more

We had a wonderful experience with Paws Play for our dog, Bailey! They have always been accommodating, great with our dog, and quick with communication. I was relieved knowing our dog was in good hands. It is obvious that Jessica truly cares about the pets and wants what is best for them. We would still be using their services if our dog didn't require 24/7 supervision due to her separation anxiety. We would definitely use them in the future and highly recommend their services to anyone who is considering them. read more

We have been using Paws Play for several months now and can say they have been absolutely incredible. They have been extremely dependable and provide us with daily updates on how our cat is doing. Scheduling has been a breeze, and they clearly are professionals. We will continue to use their services, and hope you will to! read more

This was the first time I left my babes and was really concerned but trust me I had no reason to with Paws Play taking care of them. I was really impressed with their care and keeping me informed. Would not hesitate to highly recommend them. read more

I had the pleasure of knowing Jessica and Erik before I used Paws Play. So when i needed a dog walker it was a no brainer to use their company. They love their pups so much and I know would only employ awesome and responsible pet lovers. With that said, I've been using Paws Play for approx 4 months to have my pups walked on a weekly basis and have been more than satisfied. When working a long day instead of worrying, you get a pic of your pups mid day and a huge smile on your face. My girls are so happy after seeing Seleste. I highly recommend their reliable and quality services! read more

Jessica & Erik and their team of sitters are THE BEST!! One of our 2 cats developed diabetes a year ago, and we suddenly found her needing insulin every 12 hours. Hesitant to leave town and rely on someone else to provide her medication, we found Paws Play and gave them a try. We can't say enough great things about their professionalism and caring attention for our little ones. The daily updates with photos relieved so much anxiety. We have since used them numerous times and highly recommend them for any of their services. Thank you Paws Play!! read more

My husband and I have had our dogs walked by Paws Play for over three years. We always feel they have the their best interest in matching the correct dog walker with the dogs. Our only dog now is always excited for her time with the dog walker. Thank you Paws Play! read more

Jessica is as professional as they come. She came over for a pre-screening interview which was very complete and extremely detailed. She is the perfect dog walker. Extremely caring, attentive, and reliable. She cares about our dog Elwood like we do and it shows. Elwood is 13 years old and when he doesn't feel up to the full 30 minute walk, she will stay and play with him until time is up. She'll even text me to say how our walk went if I ask her to. We also recently had Jessica visit Elwood multiple times per day while we were away. It was wonderful to be across the country and not worry for a second about him. We knew he was in good hands with someone who treats him like one of her own. When she arrives Elwood's reaction is priceless. Seeing it lets me know how much he loves her. read more

Erik and Jessica, and several of their employees, have watched our cat Fred more than a dozen times and we have always been thrilled with their service. They kept our keys safe and secure, which made for a hassle free experience every time. They once accommodated me with less than 24 hours notice on a busy weekend, and their prices were always reasonable. Plus they sent us an adorable picture and update about Fred every single day so we could rest easy. I couldn't recommend them more. read more

This service is wonderful! We had planned a last minute overnight trip and the staff was able to accommodate our every need. I was very impressed by not only the great care, but also the attention to detail! We loved the updates of our pups, and felt that much more comforted that they were in good hands. Will definitely use this service again! We have also started using their afternoon walking service. Another great service. They assign a primary dog walker so that the pups get used to seeing a familiar face. We also keep communications between the dog walker using a notebook. This makes for easy dialogue. Thanks for all you do! read more

Jessica is amazing! We have two frenchies that adore her! The minute they see her, they light up. It's very comforting to know that our dogs are in such good hands. Whether we're out of town for a few days, or the pups are getting their daily afternoon walk, we know that they're having a blast. I must also admit that our dogs are not the best walkers, but Jessica has been working with us as we've been training our dogs to walk better. Thanks to her help our dogs are improving their behavior which is making everyone lives easier. I must also say that Jessica is so accommodating. We've had to call her last minute at times with requests for help. She is always so willing to help us out. Jessica is the best! Once you have her help once, you'll keep coming back for more! read more

Great dog walking service! We have worked with PawsPlay for a few months now for our 2 black labs, and they do such a great job. Our dogs are a little tricky (one not great with people and one not great with other dogs), and they took the time to listen to my concerns and learned how to take care of both of them. A huge relief because we know how hard it is to manage them. All of the walkers that came to our house knew how to handle them, and when needed were just there to keep them company and give them a little break from their long days. Very appreciated! And I love their invoicing system. :) read more

We could not be happier with Paws Play!!! Our Jackson is a high maintenance dog so we were apprehensive to use a dog walker/sitter. However, they have exceeded our expectations and Jackson loves his walks and overnights. They go out of their way to provide the BEST care and give you updates/pictures etc... They are also so accommodating with our schedule and we can't say enough wonderful things about them !! Would highly recommend them without reservation for walking, sitting or whatever your needs. Love 'em !!! read more

My husband and I travel a lot so while we were living in San Diego, we used Paws Play to take care of our dog and cat when we went away. They were awesome. Our pets were always well cared for and they gave us regular updates on how they were doing while we were gone which I very much appreciate. Although we've moved away from the area, if we ever were to come back we wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. I highly recommend them! read more

Jessica, Erik and the Paws Play team have been walking our corgi Sophie for the past year. We're both busy and can't make it home every day to walk Sophie, but we know Sophie is in good hands with Paws Play. They provide us with detailed notes on how Sophie did on her walk and texts us pictures of her...their service could not be any better and Sophie looooves them! I think their prices are also very competitive. read more

Paws Play is fantastic. They are not just dog walkers, they become friends. I had two older dogs and they looked after them wonderfully. When the second one passed away Jessica, the owner of Paws Play, would call and check up on me and even let me come hang out with her while she was walking her dogs. I didn't hesitate to call them again when I got my new dog. I highly recommend them, what other dog walkers hold happy hours for their dog owners and walkers?! read more

I wish I could give extra stars for this AMAZING dog walking service. I've had my dog for four years and this is THE BEST DOG WALKING SERVICE I have ever used. They are extremely professional, reliable and just amazing with dogs. Jessica is literally the best! This was also the best priced service I was able to find in San Diego. Great prices and just amazing and professional services. Your animal is in the BEST hands with Jessica! read more

I was new in town and needed a pet sitter as I travel for work. I had bad experiences in the past where I hired sitters and they didn't come over and take care of my 2 kitties. Once I came home and they had no food or water and an overflowing litter box. It was devastating. I was relieved to find Jessica when I moved to San Diego. She always texts me updates each time she does the pet sitting and keeps me posted on how my two babies are doing. I am grateful to have such a good pet sitting service now. I would highly recommend Paws Play to anyone looking for a caring pet service when you need one. My kitty Bentley is very afraid of people and he even comes out to greet Jessica when she babysits for me. So lucky I found this service!!! I always have peace of mind when I am away. read more
