Paw Commons Pet Resort & Training Center - Hillcrest

I absolutely loved the care my dog received. I found it extremely refreshing not to be worried about my pet on a vacation or travel. The report card system was absolutely fantastic getting to know how you dog’s day was and the enrichment walks is a must my husky was so excited she almost didn’t want to leave. I can not recommend this place enough.

Paw Commons in Hillcrest has an amazing staff that truly cares about their fur kids! Coco had her trial day today, and the team kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dogs Clara, Clover, and now Coco all love coming here. It’s clear that the staff genuinely cares for each dog and works hard to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I highly recommend Paw Commons to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding with caring people and excellent communication!

We had a great experience with Paw Commons! This was our first time sending our dog to daycare and we were very hesitant, but they did an amazing job getting to know her and slowly introducing her to the rest of the doggos so she feels comfortable. I also appreciated how they had a midday report (for 1st time eval) to tell us how she was doing. We'll be back if we're ever in the area again!

We’ve been using Paw Commons for years across a few of their San Diego locations, and they’ve consistently been our go-to for our (very) energetic dog, Roscoe. Most recently, we brought him to the Hillcrest location just for grooming and a nail trim, and as always, the experience was smooth and professional. The team handled him with care and patience, which is no small feat given his personality, and he came back looking great. We’ve also trusted Paw Commons with boarding during vacations, and that peace of mind is huge. It’s clear they take the time to understand each dog and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for. What really stands out is the consistency across locations and over time. No matter which Paw Commons we’ve visited, the staff has always been thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place they can trust with their dog, whether it’s for grooming, daycare, or boarding.

Tootsie loves her doggy day care! She’s always excited to go! And the staff here are incredibly gracious and loving to all the dogs. I can tell the staff love their dogs and their job at Paw Common’s Hillcrest! We both are very grateful to you and the services you provide!!

Our Pippin loves Paw Commons. He’s a social butterfly so it’s THE place for him. He’s been going since we rescued him and we felt comfortable enough after so many successful daycare days to board him for five days. He had a wonderful time! We received updates via a little digital report card including photos of our boy. After his five days of boarding, he received an exit bath (excellent idea) and when we picked him up he was happy and sleepy. Pros: Safe, secure, fun place for your social fur baby. The staff is kind, loves animals, remembers their name, and checks in regularly. Cons: Maybe they come back a little stinky unless you purchase an exit bath (can’t recommend that enough!). We will always choose Paw Commons. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby and special shout out to Jordan for being so communicative and kind! Please see the photos we received while Pip was enjoying his stay. They are delightful ☺️

I really am impressed with Paw Commons. My daughter and her dog and also my two dogs have used the Hillcrest location for a few years. It is clean, straightforward, respectful, and the staff seems to really love the animals. When the babies were in daycare we regularly used their cameras to see how they were doing. There seemed to be someone out in the kennel area with them interacting positively with them most of the time. Our groomer Cassie is awesome. Quite busy, but so worth the wait. I’ve found it much easier to just schedule our groomings before we leave. This way I stay on top of it (their hair grows fast and mats easily) and I don’t have to wait for Cassie either. For two dogs I paid around $100 each and gave a $30 tip for both. Yes it is expensive, but what isn’t these days. I’ve also groomed them myself many times and my back hurts for a week when I’m done. I definitely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to take an animal there for boarding, daycare, or grooming. 💕
