They treat my dog as their own! Just an amazing place and staff. I will start with the boarding and day care. Kind of a private suite , and the room has an AC to keep the dogs at the perfect temperature. During the daycare, his favorite part is the pool... well, he is a lab so pool and grabbing pillows from the couch is so much fun! But I really need to share the experience of their Academy training. Our dog started 2 months ago and we will continue. He has changed so much, so well behaved, social skills, he has become another dog, super smart! Wednesday is his favorite day of the week as it is Tailwag day (Academy time)... next day he is so exhausted, but Fridays he think it is Tailwag day again, and starts crying and when the door opens he goes outside and want to go again! not happy when I just bring him for a car ride ! Anyway, all I can say, it is the best place you can find! I cannot thank enough the whole staff, specially Sue and Isaac!

The staff even taught him how to swim -- now he's not afraid of the water and is completely pool safe. We've also boarded him overnight and while on vacation, and he's always come home happy and well cared for. It's truly the best place for him to burn off energy, stay happy, and have fun. We're so grateful for the care, attention, and joy they bring to his life. Highly recommend!

They did not have a working horse trailer during a serious fire. They reached out to people on Facebook to come help evacuate. They withheld food from my horse. Any rain and it was impossible to get down the long dirt road to their property without a heavy duty truck. They would turn out their horses in the arena so if you wanted to ride, you were excited to put them away yourself. And finally when I had to euthanize my horse on the 9th of the month, they wanted payment for the entire month because I didn't give them 30 days notice.

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.

After being in four different homes and going through multiple traumatic experiences with unleashed dogs, Buster needed a safe, stable environment and more specialized care than we could give. He also has food sensitivities and does best on a healthier, less processed diet. We've used Margale Pet Resort before for boarding and always had an amazing experience. Their team is incredibly professional, loving, and attentive. So when we needed help with Buster, we turned to them without hesitation--and they went above and beyond. Margale took him in, committed to getting him healthy, and will eventually find him a forever home where he can truly thrive. Margale is more than just a pet resort--they're true animal advocates. They care deeply about every dog they work with and treat them like family. We're so grateful for the compassion, expertise, and love they've shown Buster. If you're looking for a place that treats your dog with the same care you would, Margale is the place to go. We can't recommend them highly enough.

The level of care and individual attention is above and beyond anywhere else I have experienced with my dogs. The facility is clean with lots of opportunity for dogs to have play time with other dogs as well as supervised individual outside time.

The entire staff is exceptional in their communication and willingness to help in any way they can.
