The Pooped Puppy

I have been brining my dog Ruger to Pooped puppy for about two months and I absolutely love them! Natalie is wonderful! When you pick your dog up she lets you know how they did that day. Rugeralways comes home tired, because of Pooped puppy he is better socialized and I give them all the credit!

You know that feeling you hate to get when you leave your puppies home alone all day long? Well, that feeling is NO MORE now that I’ve taken my pups to doggy daycare with Natalie and her hubby. They love it there. I can tell because I’ve never seen my pups this exhausted… Ever! I’m really thankful to have found this amazing doggy daycare in La Mesa. Soon, they’ll be moving to an even bigger facility with both indoor and outdoor space, we can’t wait! Thanks for taking care of my pups, you guys are the best!

I started using The Pooped Puppy over a month ago and am so happy that we have found this spot. Our house has been undergoing some renovations and the dogs could not be around with the contractors walking in and out. Natalie was quick to respond to my email and very good at soothing my anxiety about leaving my pups with a stranger. Though the big one whines when we get to the house, he is perfectly happy running in the yard for hours at a time. The little one wags his tail in the car as soon as we make the turn onto Marie. And yes, they are definitely pooped by the tine I pick them up. I can even be lazy in their nighttime walks!
Natalie is awesome and very easy to work with! We are even contemplating boarding the little one with them for a week if our house-​sitter falls through.

Great place for doggie daycare in La Mesa and so centrally located. Near the village but convenient to freeways. Mike and Natalie are truly dog whisperers and your dog will be in very good hands. The name Pooped Puppy definitely reflects how much fun your dog will have! They also do cage– free boarding.

The pooped Puppy is great. Natalie is great with my dog. She takes care of him almost every day of the week and he comes home Happy and all played out. This place has great prices and I don’t ever have to worry if Riley is okay. He seems to love it there and gets along great with all the other dogs. Natalie has even gave him a bath a few times! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable, safe and great daycare for their Dog. They have great rates!

Black and summer started coming to there location a week ago. They are enjoying there stay I am happy that when I come i am greeted with great vibes and warms feelings of happy to have summer and black at our place. They come everyday and will continue thank you for watching over my family…

I was first drawn to the idea of using The Pooped Puppy’s service after Mike and Natalie with their own dogs, Cali and Shadow. Both are large but easily the most well behaved pups I have ever met. I am not exaggerating. They are better trained than some working dogs. Both were trained by Mike and Natalie as well. Anyways, once seeing that I knew that Gizmo would be in good hands with them. Being single and on active duty at the time I regularly needed help Gizmo. Mr. Brown and Ms. Cook were amazing, to both of us!
After using their services numerous times for over night stays when I was either out of town or on duty, I was deployed in 2011. I had no family in San Diego so again I had to lean on these amazing people. Natalie and Mike took Gizmo in as part of their «pack,» and he became a better dog for it. They also treated me fairly for the longterm commitment that I had found myself in. To this day I know Gizmo misses Cali and Shadow.
If I ever find myself back in San Diego, or anywhere that they are hanging their hat at the time, i would not hesitate to bring Gizmo by. Even after a couple years and several moves, they have taken the time to check in to see how we are doing and kept in contact.
If you have a pup that you love dearly and are in need of sitting services, I HIGHLY recommend The Pooped Puppy. You will not be disappointed. Their fees are fair and they will always treat your baby as if it was their own.
P. S. Smaller dogs need not worry about Cali or Shadow’s size. They are amazing with ALL dogs. Gizmo is less than half their size and they will be family forever.

I met Michael and Natalie and was immediately put at ease by their capable manner with my skittish little pup. I’m extremely impressed with their knowledge about dogs and how easily they were able to get my shy little pup acclimated to the grounds and their sweet dogs.
I know my little one will be in capable hands for longer stretches of time when I have to be away.

I left my two high energy and under exercised «babies» with Michael and Natalie for over 2 weeks, and I came back to the happiest dogs ever. I was overseas, which complicates things a little, but I was never worried about my dogs being well taken care of.
The prices are extremely reasonable and the service is just outstanding. My dogs have scared more than one pet sitter because of their high energy, but it looks like I’ve found a gem this time around!
