My dog was boarded here for about 3 weeks. It was her first time away from me and I was hesitant. La Mesa pet hotel took excellent care of her. I got her back in top condition, bathed and clean. She seemed happy and everytime we go back she runs to the attendents. Its a small buisness so they pay close attention to the dogs which is what I want and like so much about them. I highly reccommend them.

I actually find La Mesa Pet Hotel quite a nice place. My two silk terriers love the place & the owner & his wife are quite friendly. Not sure what to say about the previous comments!

We are very disappointed with this place. First, they misplaced my dog's leash (owner said it was mistakenly sent with a different dog). Next, my dog had an ugly bald spot on his thigh that they didn't even mention --- I noticed it on the way to my car and so I went back to ask the owner what happened. He looked at it and said 'it appears he chewed himself!' I wanted to say 'it appears you didn't even notice or care when you are supposed to be watching him! I got out of there fast and made a promise never to return. But that is not the end of it --- we got home and my dog won't eat. He was having severe loose and bloody stools! I took him to the vet the following day and was told he picked up some infection and FLEAS! My dog is always current with his shots but I remember the owner never asked for proof so he obviously isn't implementing the 'shots' rule strictly. This is scary. Now my dog is under medication and I am still waiting for the results on his stool sample. I am very, very upset and will never return nor recommend this place to anyone!

DO NOT BOARD HERE!!! The owner is very rude, you can hear them yelling at the dogs from across the street. Would you take your pet to a place to stay if they would not let you take a tour of the kennels!!!!! NOT ME !!NEVER AGAIN. My daughter use to work there and she quit because the management was sooo rude and did not care at all about the pets, the place smells bad all the time, if the dogs do not eat there food within 30 min they take the food away-------BAD PLACE--BEWARE!!! TRY Animal Medical Center East County for boarding, they are wonderful and will always let you tour the kennels---A++++ PLACE

I board my three big dogs at the La Mesa Pet Hotel when I travel out of town for business or if I just need a quiet work day at home. My dogs are always quite excited to return to the La Mesa Pet Hotel and will begin barking and wagging their tails at the mere site of the hotel. Once inside, they wag their tails like crazy at the sight of the staff, often times walking away from me with even a glance back at me :) My dogs are quite spoiled during their stays at the La Mesa Pet Hotel. They have plenty of exercise while boarding there and are kept on a feeding schedule. I know from what my "boys" tell me, that they are also showered with plenty of hugs and treatsl! The staff at the La Mesa Pet Hotel are very experienced and caring, they always show great affection toward the animals in their care. It also gives me great peace of mind to know that the owners of this facility are "hands-on" and have a life-time of experience! Your pets are in the absolute best care when at the La Mesa Pet Hotel. This boarding facility also provides grooming services and if you decide to have your pets groomed at the end of their stay there, you will be quite pleasantly surprised to see how wonderful they will look for a night on the town :) THANK YOU LA MESA PET HOTEL and the Rowe Family for taking SUCH GREAT CARE OF MY BABIES!!! The peace of mind I have when entrusting my boys in your care allows me to get my work done and know that my boys are having great fun at the same time. I would recommend this boarding and grooming facility without hesitation to all animal lovers that have pets and wish to have them treated well by professional, experienced and caring staff! Once you have boarded your animal at the La Mesa Pet Hotel, you will realize how very personalized the attention to your animal is there and how great the shortcomings at other places really are. There is NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BEST and the BEST IS THE LA MESA PET HOTEL!! Sincerely, Candy R.
