This was our second time using the Escondido location, and it confirmed that this facility is not…read moreequipped or operated to responsibly manage large or anxious dogs, despite advertising itself as a professional daycare. During our first experience in May 2024 (boarding), our dog, Chika, was labeled anxious and given a "first strike" for snapping at other dogs. We had never received this sort of feedback before and were concerned. She was placed in private care for the remainder of that stay, and no further issues occurred. Between May 2024 and December 2025, Chika attended numerous daycare facilities in social play without incident. We gave the Escondido location another opportunity on December 20, 2025. Within three hours, we received a voicemail from Daniel (manager) stating that Chika was digging at and jumping on the walls and that the Escondido facility's walls are not as sturdy as those at the Miramar location. We were also told that she would NOT be welcome back at Escondido after that day. We do not dispute Chika's behavior, but the problem was the lack of management. We are paying customers and expect staff to actively handle the situation, not simply report it and escalate to removal or ban. There was no indication that reasonable steps were taken (removal from the area, breaks, walks, or calming measures) before contacting us. Notifying the customer is appropriate and appreciated; failing to attempt resolution is not. Chika was eventually placed in a cage for the remainder of the day, which was acceptable. However, communication did not indicate that efforts were made to reduce her stress or ensure her comfort. We paid $60 per dog (two dogs; our other dog's behavior was deemed acceptable) and expected professional supervision and care. There are serious safety and operational concerns. The facility has thin, easily damaged walls, is understaffed (per the manager and owner), and staff are not consistently present in dog areas. Dogs are sometimes monitored via cameras rather than in-person supervision, according to Daniel (manager). This location also maintains a low number of dogs, which aligns with how quickly dogs are removed or banned instead of being managed. According to the daycare, Chika may react this way because calmer areas stress her and busier areas keep her mind occupied--interpret that as you will. Interactions with Daniel (manager) and Brian (owner) were unacceptable. Brian called us on December 21st, which we initially appreciated as a chance to discuss the situation. However, the conversation quickly became hostile and dismissive, with Brian stating they "could bill you for the damage, but aren't," telling me to "take some introspection," and calling me "rude" and "ridiculous for asking for a refund." He also said, "open your own daycare and manage it how you want." All phone calls with management are recorded, so there is a record of these interactions. No accommodation was offered. Had a partial refund been provided, this review would not exist! The only professional interaction was with Whitney at the front desk. We love the Miramar location, and it's disappointing that our experience at Escondido came to this. Owners of large or anxious dogs should proceed with caution. This location does not actively manage stressed dogs or work toward resolution.

Welcome Woofie's of Carlsbad!…read more This family business provides a variety of pet services. We utilized their mobile grooming for not one, but two dogs. I scheduled the service with the owner over the phone who got me started on their booking platform. My female dog has a wash and go type of coat and she was booked for a sanitary trim. Our male dog has a thick coat and was scheduled for a full service treatment. Both came out looking their best thanks to Alexis. The entire process from beginning to end was smooth. The office followed up on our services after the session. You can just tell the team at Woofie's wants you to have a positive experience. This was our first time using a mobile grooming service. The mobile van was new, clean, and well stocked with supplies and treats. The dogs liked it and I think that is what really matters. Time to book our next session for the holidays... #WoofiesofCarlsbad #MobileGroomers #ADogsLife #YelpEliteNCSD

I came across Woofies and from the first phone call to now (a year later) this place has been WONDERFUL. My first impression was they CARE. Caleb spoke to me on the phone for 30 minutes about all the questions I have and was empathetic regarding my anxiety about finding a new groomer. At the end of the call I booked an appointment and I'm so glad I did! Fast forward to almost a year later now that we've been using Woofies and they've always been incredibly accommodating, communicative and professional. We are so glad to have found kiwis grooming home! At the beginning we used Alexis who was phenomenal and kind but she moved so now we use Michelle and are SO thankful we have her as Kiwis groomer. Michelle pays close attention to detail and loves kiwi, you can tell she loves what she does. I recommend all my friends use Woofies! We don't like standard salons where you drop your pet off and pick up with how tiny kiwi is and she's used to mobile grooming so this was perfect for us! The convenience of them coming to your home and bringing our pet out to the van is PRICELESS.

I contacted Trisha in September 2017 about watching my two special needs dogs over Thanksgiving, at…read morethe recommendation of several people in my neighborhood's Facebook group. She seemed like a great fit, and we hired her. Sadly, it did not end well, and I must recommend that other pet owners do not hire this company. Details: -They are operating an illegal business. Their LLC has been suspended by the State of CA for tax issues, making it illegal to advertise, accept payment, or do business. The city says their business license expired 7yrs ago, also illegal. -They advertise themselves as bonded/insured, but no one can find record of their insurance company ("PAS Pet Sitters Association") even existing. A well-known company with a similar name ("Pet Sitters Associates") has confirmed that they have no record of Dog Gone Pet Pros ever being bonded/insured by them. When I first contacted Trisha, I emphasized the importance of not leaving our dogs home alone more than 8hrs/day (one has severe separation anxiety), which she agreed to. She admitted after we boarded our plane that she never planned on being with them more than 12hrs/day, and tried to leave them alone 14-16hrs/day (basically just sleeping at the house). For a dog w/ sep anxiety, that is *torture*, and she had no compassion whatsoever. At the insane price of $85/night, I 100% expected her to spend more than 2 waking hours with my dogs, especially since that's what she agreed to in writing & in person. -Before leaving town, we decided to turn on our security camera at the front door and gave her a heads up as a courtesy; she immediately brought up that her marriage had ended "at some point in the last 2 months" and her kids' father was out of town, so she couldn't stay with the dogs & needed to send her business partner Jamie (a man we had never met). We were sympathetic to her situation, but it didn't sound like this was a new development; she'd been texting me all morning and didn't mention anything was amiss. It appeared as though she planned to have Jamie stay with the dogs all along, and only told us about it because of the camera. -We were forced to agree to Jamie staying with the dogs temporarily, while we quietly looked for a new sitter to take over. We were shocked to see on our security camera that Jamie invited a female companion (non-employee) to stay at our house overnight each day, without asking our permission or notifying us. When confronted, he just texted me "sry I forgot to let you know but I didn't feel like being alone"-- completely unprofessional. -Despite being specifically warned to triple check all doors and gates because our deaf/blind dog has no way of finding his way home if he gets lost and would likely get hit by a car... Jamie left a gate open, and one of our dogs ran away. Thank god he got the dog back, but again, didn't tell us about it until confronted & denied responsibility for leaving the gate open. -Our camera was mysteriously unplugged. The camera automatically notified us & sent us the last clips before it was unplugged; Jamie was yelling at our dog to come to him while the dog whimpered off camera, and then the last clip was Jamie walking towards the camera before it went offline. It could have been an accident or intentionally unplugged, but it was the last straw for us and we needed these people out of our house immediately. We had one of my husband's marines go over & check on our pets, and supervise while Jamie packed up his stuff & left. It is incredibly stressful to be halfway across the country while a total stranger has full access to your home & pets, knowing that they have lied to you repeatedly & not knowing if they are the kind of person to retaliate (again, had never even met Jamie). The constant lying and the blatant lack of regard for our dogs' welfare & safety (or even our house's safety, allowing a non-employee to stay there) was horrific, and I have to strongly caution other pet owners to never hire this company. If you go on their website, they proudly link to a newspaper article where Trisha & Jamie say they got into the petsitting business because Californians seem willing to spend a lot of money on their pets, and petcare businesses have low start-up costs. They are in this for the money, not the love of the animals, and it shows in how they do business. Avoid at all costs.
