I can't say enough great things about Top Dog SF! This might sound a little unconventional, but I…read morejust hosted a 10th birthday party for my dog here after he went through a really intense health journey last year so this milestone meant everything to my family and I. From the very beginning, the process was incredibly smooth. Reaching out through their website and coordinating the booking for a non-hosted event was so easy, and the communication was clear, responsive, and genuinely helpful. The space itself was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for to celebrate with close friends and family. Everything came together seamlessly, which made the day even more special and stress-free. I catered food and brought my own decor and it was an easy set up and takedown. I'm so grateful to the team at Top Dog SF for helping make this meaningful celebration possible. I would 100% book here again. Thank you so much!

We took our puppy Mila to Top Dog for two months of puppy head start and had an excellent…read moreexperience. Mila is a Lagotto Romagnolo (10 weeks when we started) and can be a bit of a handful, but Mike worked wonders. She's great on leash now and her overall behavior has improved significantly. Mike is always attentive and genuinely cares about the dogs. He even recommended food options that helped resolve some of Mila's stomach issues, which was great. Shoutout to Michelle and Raina as well. Mila loved them and they took her on tons of walks. They were both awesome with her. The most valuable part is that we came away feeling equipped to keep training her ourselves. We've since taught her a bunch of tricks on our own. Well worth it. Would highly recommend to any new dog owner!

It's such a relief knowing he's in great hands and getting plenty of exercise, socializing with other dogs, and being genuinely loved by his walker and the entire team. You can tell they truly care about the pups. I love the daily photo updates and can always tell Ollie is happily worn out by the time I get home. Vince and his team are responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable, caring team that provides real enrichment and adventure for their dog.

My experience with Comforted Kitty has been phenomenal. Firstly, the communication with the…read morecompany's staff has been excellent from the start. I have been fortunate enough to have Christy be the sitter caring for my cat, Birdie, twice (most recently for a three day trip I took). She is everything I would hope for in someone I entrust with taking care of my sweet cat, who is like a baby to me. I am especially particular in who I trust with this responsibility! Christy is compassionate, extremely communicative, reliable and timely, patient in answering my questions, is detail-oriented when caring for Birdie, is gentle in her interactions with her, and provides a detailed report of each visit, including photos. She is extremely professional and skilled. It eases my stress tremendously knowing Birdie is under her responsible and thoughtful care during my absence. I highly recommend Comforted Kitty and Christy, and plan to use her for a couple longer trips this summer!

She sent photos and updates after every visit, so we always knew our cat was happy and comfortable. What really impressed us was her attention to detail. She kept our cat pampered with brushing sessions and plenty of pets and cuddles. It was clear from her messages that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our kitty. Samantha also provided a detailed report on our cat habits while we were gone. This level of care gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in other ways too, like taking out our trash after her last visit without us even asking. She followed all our instructions accurately and showed up reliably every day, even when the weather was bad. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We'll definitely be booking Samantha again. We highly recommend her and the comforted kitty.

OMG, Alia is incredible! We had to leave our 14 month old puppy for a 12 day work trip (SO GLAD TO…read moreFINALLY BE HOME!) and we had so much anxiety leaving him for this long for the first time. I cannot even begin to tell you how reassuring it was to see photos and videos of Moose playing and romping around in Golden Gate park and Alia's amazing backyard. Because of those regular updates we were able to really focus on our trip and let go of that worry. MOST importantly though.. we cannot say thank you to Alia enough. Moose is an 80+lb monster and we hadn't been the greatest at training him as much as we would have liked. He pulled, his recall was bad, and he lunged happily at new dogs a lot. NONE OF THAT EXISTS anymore. He stays when he's told, he doesn't pull, and he comes when called almost immediately. We were flabbergasted on our morning walk with him after coming home. Just wow. Alia, thank you thank you thank you thank you. You've not only given us peace of mind but you've given us a happier and more well behaved puppy. We're eternally grateful and so thankful for you.

When we are away Betty sends us status updates on how our pup is doing. She'll send us photos/videos of Lovie either having a great time with other dogs or just relaxing on the couch. It's a good feeling to know that when you're away... Your dog is in good hands and being very well taken care off. Every time we pick up Lovie from Betty's place she's just exhausted! Which is nice because half the time we are too! But it just shows that she enjoyed herself while we were away and got plenty of play time in... If you're looking for a great place for your dog stay while you are away... You can trust Betty! -Lindsey, Brandon & Lovie

Without fail, Betty provides a diary of my dogs' stay, complete with fun pictures! I always hate to leave my "kids" behind, but the diary makes me feel like I was right there with them.

She really, truly does go above and beyond when it comes to making sure our cats are well cared for while we're away. The initial consultation was very thorough and she asked a lot of questions to get to know our cats' needs, likes, and dislikes. She has taken the time to get to know ours cats on her visits and allowed time for them to get to know her. We have one very shy kitty that most people aren't able to get close to. Mary has gained his trust and he will walk right up to her and play with her. She is very good at sending us updates and photos when she is visiting. I'd recommend Mary to anyone - it feels wonderful to know our cats are well-taken care of whenever we leave home.
