Venture Tails

We left our two dogs here and I personally like the fact they have a large yard, there were other dogs at that time but the owners, Karla and Memo had sectioned their yard wisely so the large/​big size pets stayed separated from the little ones. The price is a bit high ($ 20 per dog per night) but for the care/​protection, I wouldn’t compromise. My pets are like my own children and when I picked them back up, I expected fleas and ticks but they were just like I left them. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and for the cute little treat bag. We will be using them again.

I have been taking my Lhasa Apso DJOKO to Venture Tails for a year and he loves spending time with Karla and her family. Couldn’t recommend this place higher — and by Djoko’s reaction when we walk into their doors, I think he agrees.

Posted about some issues we had. They were prompt to respond and worked out the issue. End of the day they agreed to pay for the dog grooming.

NOT RELIABLE. Very disappointed.
I recently contacted this company regarding walking our dog a couple days over a 1 week span while visiting the San Diego area. Karla replied to my email promptly and we had several text conversations regarding my needs, our location, number of visits per day, their fees, etc. We set up a preliminary appointment for the following day for her to meet us and our dog. I gave her precise directions to our location and she ended our conversation, «OK sounds good… I will see you there tomorrow.» Tomorrow came and went… she NEVER showed for the appointment… I have not heard a word from her and it’s been over a week! EXTREMELY RUDE, if you ask me! A phone call, email, text… anything… saying she wouldn’t be able to walk my dog after all would of made a world of difference. To just not show up and leave me hanging… SO UNPROFESSIONAL! How could you ever depend on them to show up to walk your dog as scheduled. The last thing I want to be doing is worrying about my dog stressing out because her paid dog walker didn’t show up to take her outside to go potty! Or worse yet, having to spend more money to get my carpets cleaned… although, I bet they would show up as scheduled!

Karla is awesome! Im always confident whenever were gone, I can always count on her to take care of Jack.

KArla came to my home to walk my dogs and did an amazing job. She made sure they were safe. She came on short notice and was very communicative as to the state the my puppies were. I will definitely recommend her to my next door neighbor who needs a walker/​sitter too.

I have been taking my Shih Tzu Max to Venture Tails since June 2010. Max goes there five days a week while I’m at work. He does overnight visits once in a while. Karla takes care of Max like he was hers. This is his home away from home and I know he is safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Karla if you need a dog sitter.

Karla has taken care of both of our dogs on several occasions. They love spending time with Karla and her family (including their dog Snowball). We have recommended Venture Tails to our friends and they have also had an excellent experience.
