Customer Reviews
My dog LOVES Dogs On The Run, and so do we! We were matched with the perfect fit. My pup loves her weekly play dates/dog sitting with her extended DOTR family. While she is there, texts are sent with pictures and progress updates. She’s always happy and comes home tuckered out from play. - Carlsbad, CA - September 2025
- Julie RSimply the best company ever! I had to find a place for my dog at last min, another home pet sitter recommended DOTR, I called, then Dawn, one of their sitters texted me within 30 mins, and we moved forward. She was amazing! My dog, Mia, LOVED her. She sent pics and updates. The whole proceed was the best. Great company! I will for sure use again! - Carlsbad, CA - July 2025
