We hired Dogs on the Run to have our dog be part of our wedding day in June 2025, and I truly…read morecannot recommend them enough!! Especially our handler, Misty! From the very beginning, Misty was incredible. She carved out time weeks before the wedding for us to meet each other and talk about our dog's (Louie) temperament, our expectations, and the full game plan for the big day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was prepared and genuinely cared about making everything go smoothly. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She arrived early to the Airbnb and was able to get used to walking and handling Louie. She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us. She kept us updated via text throughout the day, and when it was time to drop him back off at our Airbnb in the evening, she sent photos and updates so we knew he was settled and happy. She even left us the sweetest wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Misty was kind, professional, organized, and clearly loves what she does. We are SO grateful for her and would absolutely book Dogs on the Run again. Highly, highly recommend!

We were going out of country for holiday. We saw Dogs On The Run at the Carlsbad St Fair. We picked…read morea brochure and I did my research. I compared them to other animal boardings close to me. I spoke with my husband on each and he agreed with me, DOTR was the best sounding. We reached out, told them about our beautiful 5 yr old Great Dane. They did the research within the company to find a best fit. Carter came out to our home after some communication. He LOVED our dog, she loved him. Carter and his wife were hooked and accepted her with open arms. The day to leave was here. She got a bit anxious seeing our luggage. My husband drove her a short distance over and dropped her off. She loved it, and they were so loving right back. We had updates regularly, both in email and pictures. It looked like she was on vacation. We are booking again for Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately, Carter is not available, but they connected us with Madeline. We already know that this is going to be a great experience for Madeline and our pup (6 yr old at that time).

Recently, based on incredibly strong online reviews, we sought out Colean to watch our 6-year-old…read moreChihuahua mix. And, based on our great experience with her, we felt compelled to write our own glowing review of Colean. Briefly, our little guy is a new addition to our family and we were seeking a trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and kind dogsitter to occasionally watch him. We have never gone outside our family to have someone watch one of our pets. So, we were unsure whether Colean, or anybody (!), could provide the trust and care that we get with other family members. Very quickly, Colean earned our trust. She initially had us visit her house with our dog to see whether he had the right temperament to fit into her pet community. Luckily, our little guy did very well. And, ultimately, we entrusted Colean to watch him overnight on a recent trip. We received continual updates via text throughout the evening and the next morning until we picked him up. We feel fortunate to have someone of Colean's skill, passion and commitment to rely upon.

As he's grown and we've been busy working, she's provided the love and care he needs while we're away at work - walking him, giving him water and treats, and ensuring he's growing up to be a happy lab. What's great about her services is the optional daily updates on how he's doing with a nice little picture of him. She always lets us know how he's behaving and if there's anything out of the ordinary we should be concerned about. I am very comfortable with the services she provides and will continue using them for the long term. I highly recommend Trusted Pet Care to take care of your puppers!

She is incredibly reliable and consistently goes above and beyond what I ask of her. My pets are always happy, relaxed, and clearly so well loved. I wholeheartedly recommend Trusted Pet Care for any pet care service. Truly the best in Carlsbad!

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. There are professional trainers and training available for your puppy or dog if you would like that option. The entire staff is exceptional in their communication and willingness to help in any way they can. All in all for anyone who really cares about the well being of their dog while away this is the best place for them as well as ones own comfort level leaving them at a boarding facility. Therefore, I can not recommend Margale enough !

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.

We again came home to a happy cat and lizard. We forgot to put our mail on hold and realized our mistake just before walking out the door to leave for our trip.
