We have been using Paws Play for the second year now and they are amazing! We are usually gone for a long amount of time and we couldn't be more satisfied. They take care of our cat and this year we have added some Bettas to our family. They sent us a daily report with pictures. We were able to relax and not worry about our critters. We will be using them for our next trip. Thank you Jessica & Erik! More...

We have been using Paws Play for over a year whenever we need cat-sitting services. Jessica & Erik send us daily updates with pictures of our kitties that always put my mind at ease when we are out of town. It is such a comfort knowing that our babies are being cared for by people we trust.If you are looking for reliable pet care at reasonable prices, give them a call? More...

We have been using Paws Play for about 6 months now after moving to Point Loma and can say without a doubt, we have found the most affordable, reliable, professional and compassionate care givers for our pets. We have a larger breed dog (boxer) and a cat who are not without their own unique issues. We initially were on the hunt for a walker on one of those "Uber for dog walking" sites when we realized we were giving our home over to strangers. The idea of a rotating cast with access to our home bothered us, the few dollars saved was simply not worth it.We found Paws Play through a referral from a friend. After our initial inquiry, Jessica was professional and meticulous about recording information we felt was important for the care of our pets on her visit to our home for a free consultation. We never had to remind them of anything on subsequent visits.  Paws Play has been extremely flexible with us through schedule changes, sickness, home and family emergencies, and vacations. Over the past 6 months we have had 3 consistent walkers without a lot of surprise in staffing changes even as our needs changed. We have come to trust and look forward to updates from our walkers. There is nothing better when you're at work or hundreds of miles away and you get an update with pictures of your furry ones. The holiday card with your own pet's happy faces looking back at you is an unexpected touch. We recently returned from our first trip where in-home overnight stays were provided over a weeks time. Besides getting consistent communication from our caregiver Adriana, upon returning home we actually had to search for evidence that a human was there. It was as if our pets took care of themselves, our home was immaculate! Jessica, Erik and their staff really understand what it takes to provide quality care for your pets. Look no further than Paws Play. More...

I had the pleasure of knowing Jessica and Erik before I used Paws Play. So when i needed a dog walker it was a no brainer to use their company. They love their pups so much and I know would only employ awesome and responsible pet lovers. With that said, I've been using Paws Play for approx 4 months to have my pups walked on a weekly basis and have been more than satisfied. When working a long day instead of worrying, you get a pic of your pups mid day and a huge smile on your face. My girls are so happy after seeing Seleste. I highly recommend their reliable and quality services! More...

My husband and I travel a lot so while we were living in San Diego, we used Paws Play to take care of our dog and cat when we went away. They were awesome. Our pets were always well cared for and they gave us regular updates on how they were doing while we were gone which I very much appreciate. Although we've moved away from the area, if we ever were to come back we wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. I highly recommend them! More...

Erik and Jessica, and several of their employees, have watched our cat Fred more than a dozen times and we have always been thrilled with their service. They kept our keys safe and secure, which made for a hassle free experience every time. They once accommodated me with less than 24 hours notice on a busy weekend, and their prices were always reasonable. Plus they sent us an adorable picture and update about Fred every single day so we could rest easy. I couldn't recommend them more. More...

Paws Play is fantastic.  They are not just dog walkers, they become friends.  I had two older dogs and they looked after them wonderfully.  When the second one passed away Jessica, the owner of Paws Play, would call and check up on me and even let me come hang out with her while she was walking her dogs.  I didn't hesitate to call them again when I got my new dog.  I highly recommend them, what other dog walkers hold happy hours for their dog owners and walkers?!

This service is wonderful!  We had planned a last minute overnight trip and the staff was able to accommodate our every need.  I was very impressed by not only the great care, but also the attention to detail!  We loved the updates of our pups, and felt that much more comforted that they were in good hands.  Will definitely use this service again! We have also started using their afternoon walking service. Another great service. They assign a primary dog walker so that the pups get used to seeing a familiar face. We also keep communications between the dog walker using a notebook. This makes for easy dialogue. Thanks for all you do! More...

Even tho I left money on the counter for them :P Great communication during the week as well with updates and pics of my BAYBAHS!!!!VERY RELIABLE!

The 5 stars says it all but I'll say more!  Jess and team have been walking our dogs for a few years now and they are amazing.  They are loving, kind, trustworthy, reliable, reasonable and much more.  I travel for work and when I receive texts with pictures of my "kids", my day is made!  They leave notes and so much more.  They don't have a ton of turnover and when they do, they only hire the best.  I can honestly say that other than very select family members, there is no one else that I would trust to take care of my "kids".  It's so fun to see my dogs waiting by the window watching for their buddy to take them for a stroll!  Love Paws Play!!!

I have always been skeptical of hiring someone to take my dogs on a walk without me since my German Shepherd can be a bit of a terror with strangers. She had ZERO issues with Jess. Both of my dogs warmed up to her so fast, and they are so excited to see her when she comes over. It makes my long 12-13 hour shifts so much less stressful knowing that Jess will be around to hang out with the dogs while I'm at work. She sends me pictures of them on their walks, and even writes a little note in a daily journal to let me know how their walks went! If you're looking for someone to watch your furry children while you're away, look no further! Highly recommend!!! More...

One of my favorite things is they send me a picture of my cats with a status update every day they come over to assure me that they are well. There was one time my flight got delayed coming back, and I needed them to stop by an extra time, and they made it work even last minute. You can tell they all care about what they do. :) More...

Great dog walking service! We have worked with PawsPlay for a few months now for our 2 black labs, and they do such a great job.  Our dogs are a little tricky (one not great with people and one not great with other dogs), and they took the time to listen to my concerns and learned how to take care of both of them.  A huge relief because we know how hard it is to manage them.  All of the walkers that came to our house knew how to handle them, and when needed were just there to keep them company and give them a little break from their long days.  Very appreciated!  And I love their invoicing system. :) More...

I was new in town and needed a pet sitter as I travel for work. I had bad experiences in the past where I hired sitters and they didn't come over and take care of my 2 kitties. Once I came home and they had no food or water and an overflowing litter box. It was devastating. I was relieved to find Jessica when I moved to San Diego. She always texts me updates each time she does the pet sitting and keeps me posted on how my two babies are doing. I am grateful to have such a good pet sitting service now. I would highly recommend Paws Play to anyone looking for a caring pet service when you need one.
