What I especially like about Canines Unleashed is that on Fourth of July they play music to block out the fireworks, and the team members have beds directly in the area where they board the animals so that they are close by them.

My fiancé and I recently took two trips out of town and needed someone to watch our two boys,…read moreRussell and Ollie. I found Pet Pals online and figured I'd give them a shot. Before our first trip, Sonya came to visit, meet the boys, and go over our needs for the two trips we had coming up.. Sonya is a WONDERFUL human and you can tell she really cares!! She is so friendly, easy to talk to, and our boys warmed up to her very fast. While on our trips, Sonya came once a day. She texted us updates and sent pictures of our boys which is wonderful! Everything was neat and tidy, we had happy cats, and will 100% use Sonya's services again! I felt extremely comfortable leaving a house key in her possession for the second trip, especially since it was so close to the first trip we took. The price per day is extremely reasonable and our boys had 0 problems (except for their usual mischief). We are extremely happy with the service provided and will 100% use Pet Pals in the future when needed. Thank you again for everything, Sonya. We really appreciate it. All the best! Justin and Cara

What a gem of a place--I feel so lucky to have found this cat boarding facility. They truly make it…read morefeel as close to home as possible for your cats. There are several boarding room options, each with its own unique touch, and it's clear they've thought of everything to ensure your cat's comfort. I also love that it's home to beautiful parrots housed and boarded throughout the facility, which cats can safely observe from their own sanctuaries--such a fun and enriching touch. Each room has its own webcam that you can check anytime, which gave me great peace of mind. On top of that, they send email updates and provide a full daily personal diary to take home, thoughtfully completed by the wonderful staff. 10/10--highly recommend!

"While looking for a dog groomer for my elderly neighbor's dog, I was turned down a few times…read morebecause they required appointments, and I didn't have time to schedule one this week. The dog really needed grooming. Finally, I came across this business on Google and saw their great reviews. I called and spoke with Monica, explained the situation, and she was able to get me in within two hours. I am so grateful for her. From the moment we spoke, she was kind, caring, and incredibly helpful. When I arrived, she examined the dog's coat and clearly explained the process and services included. The prices were great--especially considering all the services included with the full grooming (bath, haircut, nail trimming, and more). I was honestly surprised at how reasonable the price was. On top of that, due to the circumstances, they even gave me a discount to help my elderly neighbor. That truly says a lot about their character and their business. They are so sweet and caring with the dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone--you won't regret it!"

Thanks so much for taking care of our furry kids twice in the past few months…read more Barbara goes out of her way to care for you little loved ones and she provided services on two occasions for us and our two cats, large dog, and turtle. She fed each pet twice a day and walked the dog twice a day (when requested - our trip schedule was complicated and we also had other help from a friend). She even played with the cats and bought them a toy. I definitely recommend. Her fees are very reasonable for the caring services she provides. Sadly I found Barbara late in our 4 year San Diego move, just before we moved away to Denver. Very sad that it took me so long to find her. She's wonderful, caring and goes out of her way for you and your pets. I very much recommend her if you need pet services while you're out of the house or out of town.

It took me a long time to finally find a cat groomer for my fluffy 1.5 year-old Persian cat,…read moreArthur. I chose Pampered Paws based on John's extensive experience with cats and the reviews on this page from other cat owners. It was Arthur's first professional grooming experience thus, I had no idea how he'd behave or how it would turn out. I took Arthur to John's residence where his pet grooming van is parked. John gives a 10% discount for coming to him which I thought was very generous of him. I'd gladly bring my kitty to him regardless. John was extremely patient and kept me updated as things progressed. It took 3.5 hours total because Arthur would only let John work on him if he was held on his lap as it helped him feel secured. It took a lot of TLC for Arthur to successfully receive his first grooming experience and not traumatized by it. John is simply a godsend. He's knowledgeable about cat behaviors which greatly helps when grooming stressed cats. He also cares about the anxieties of the pet owner and his clear as well as regular communication during the process made such a huge difference. I highly recommend John's awesome cat grooming service and look forward to the next visit! Thank you so much, John for such a great experience!

I really appreciated this and it did not go unnoticed. This is my first experience with John let alone a mobile groomer or any groomer for that matter. I usually bathe my dogs myself and brush them daily but I was getting tired of all the hair around the house (vacuuming daily) and brushing daily yet they still had tangles (but they were still cute). Anyway, John took great care to make sure Lucy and Harley were comfortable. He gave them treats (he asked first if that was ok of course). John also sent me photos of them on text. I don't know if this is standard but he put "Happy Hoodies" on them and sent me a picture and text explaining what they were. He was also extremely considerate of my dogs reaction to the high velocity hose and let me know he was going to gentle dry them. Lucy and Harley look great and John was easy to work with. He was very receptive when I asked him to make small changes afterwards (they were very minor changes). Harley especially took to John and went back outside to the front porch to say goodbye to John at the front door. John is very kind and is passionate about what he does - I appreciate this and highly recommend him!

Finally feel like my dog's leader, thank you, Jessica!…read more My pup (German shepherd, 90 lbs, 1.5 yrs old) and I love our experience with Jessica! When we started, he was reactive to dogs and a nightmare on walks. Now? I'd trust anyone to walk him without getting dragged down the street. His obedience has improved dramatically, too. Even more surprising to me is that our communication is so much clearer. Now, I feel like my dog's leader, not just his handler. If you have a large, reactive dog and want a real partnership, not just commands, go see Jessica. We've got group sessions coming up, and I am so excited to watch my boy make friends and be fully and properly socialized.

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!
