Wag Time At JJ’s Joint

⁰⁰⁷⁄₁₀₀ — 2016 Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE.
I LOVE JJ’S!!!
When my fiancé and I went on a 10 day trip to Japan, we struggled to find a great place that would keep our (then) 6 month old miniature dachshund. Mocha is a very small dog and is very, very clever. She’s Houdini-​ed herself past her crate and her gate several times… it’s gotten to the point where we have to double gate her, just to make sure that she doesn’t get out.
Because of her ability to wizard her way out of anything, we were really nervous about finding someone to watch her. We originally found JJ on
and we are so, so glad we did. Her yard is a dream come true for dachshund owners. Everything is fake grass/​AstroTurf so there’s no real way for your dog to dig its way past the fence. There are also no gaps under the fence. Everything is leveled and flat. She also has 1 – 2 giant metal gates with doors that you have to open in order to get to other parts of her yard (the front and back connect). All in all, really secure.
We set up an appointment to have Mocha at JJ’s for a day before we left for our trip (mostly to make sure she got along well with the other dogs) and Mocha had a blast!!! JJ handles both big and small dogs and she is ALWAYS watching them to make sure that no fights break out. We’ve taken Mocha to other doggy day cares before and she has always been isolated/​alone, so seeing her and hearing her play with other dogs was wonderful. We gave JJ special instructions to abide by (Mocha has a sensitive stomach :() and what medications she would need to take while we were gone (flea & heartworm medication). JJ was able to do all of that without a hitch, in addition to sending us e-​mail updates every other day. It was really sweet of her to do that and keep us in the loop.
When we came to pick Mocha up after we returned, she was happy to see us, but also didn’t want to leave! She had made so many friends at JJ’s and had the time of her life. We now take her at least 2x a week for her to see her doggy friends and spend some quality time with JJ. JJ has always been quick to respond to any calls or e-​mails we’ve made. She knows her stuff (has been doing this for years) and is very accommodating at a really reasonable price. can’t recommend Wag Time at JJ’s enough!

JJ’s joint is AMAZING. Hers is the only place we take our 2 dalmatians to. She runs her business out of her big house in Clairemont that is fenced in, has artificial grass, and the dogs have full access to the outside and inside. JJ’s prices are beyond compare – she is a private dog sitter and we pay FAR LESS than we would at a loud, scary, dirty kennel. We were lucky enough to find her while out walking the dogs in the neighborhood one day and we have never boarded our dogs anywhere else since! JJ is a certified dog trainer – she LOVES DOGS. She cooks them scrambled eggs for breakfast when they stay and we have a sneaking suspicion that she even lets them sleep with her in bed! It’s hard leaving you dogs, but when they are pulling at the leash and whining to get to her front door as fast as they can when you arrive you know you’ve left them with somebody who is really great
