“100% 5-star service. Watson and his entire team are professionals, far exceeding my expectations for dog care. They send a flurry of daily photos of your dog at the park. Tefani & So Dogcare is a safe choice for a positive and stress-free experience, give them a try and you won't be disappointed.”
“Once, Evie got an eye infection during boarding while I was traveling abroad, and Ricardo was so considerate and thoughtful. He took her to the vet, FaceTimed me from the clinic, answered all of my questions about her healing. They are very knowledgeable, with a low staff-to-dog ratio.”
“Kiko also loves the daily dog park trips. One of the best things for me is the shuttle service. Kiko gets picked up in the morning then dropped off in the afternoon, which really makes the entire process of sending her to daycare really effortless for me, especially if I need to work late at the office unexpectedly. They treat your dog like family.”
“We visited a couple other daycare options and didn't feel too great about leaving our anxious pup in a big warehouse environment. Stefani had us visit the space and let Kona sniff around before her first day and it felt like such a cozy place — other places wouldn't even show us where the dogs spend time!”
“Sarai did an amazing job grooming my little Yorkie mix dog. She was super gentle and careful. When I picked him up, she said 'he told me that…' instead of 'he was difficult or fussy'. I can see that she has a deep passion and love for dogs. So happy I finally found a groomer I like in San Francisco, after trying 4 others.”
“I appreciated that there was a temperament test — very important to ensure all the dogs at the site play well together. I also like they keep small dogs and big dogs separate since my young puppy was pretty small at that point. Most importantly my dog loves going there and is always excited to go back — and comes home tired after a full day of play!”
“My dog loves going to daycare with Tefani & So! The staff clearly get to know every dog, and give them individualized attention. I get great updates throughout the day with pictures and videos showing her progress with cues and with her social skills. I have total peace of mind when she's at daycare.”
“My first dog, a rescue from Taiwan who was initially very fearful, has been coming since 2020. The previous owners did a fantastic job running the establishment, and when it transitioned to new management, I was curious about the transition. However, the new team has been outstanding, maintaining the same level of dedication and attention to detail.”
“I think it's a good sign when your dog is excited every time he comes by the front door of this place. They do a great job of sending pictures of your dog to show that he's having a great time. They also take their time to integrate the dogs into the pack so things are safe.”
“We originally sent our puppy there because he gets timid around dogs and needed the socialization. He's so much better now, so we can't thank Watson and team enough! We love how convenient the shuttle service is and most importantly — we love that our puppy loves it there!”
“There is not a day when I say, 'you're going to school today' that he doesn't FLY out of the house. She sends daily picture dumps of him happy and playing and if I need to drop him off early before I take a flight or late if a meeting runs over, she's there to accommodate without hesitation.”
“My Cavapoo had the best spa day during daycare at Tefani's! He has been coming here since he was 6 months old and is now almost 5 years old. Over the years, Tefani and her team have consistently provided exceptional care, and the grooming is always top-notch. The staff truly treat the dogs like family.”
“My pup has been going to Tefani & So Dogcare for 4.5 yrs now, 2xs a week. They also have a phenomenal groomer, Jane, onsite. Every time my pup sees any of the friendly team from Tefani & So, whether it's Heather, Watson, Mai, Daniel, Ricardo or Stina, he happily runs to greet them!”
“We really miss Tefani & So dog care now that we have moved away from SF. They are the best in community, groomer, shuttle service, communication, and friendliest dogs. Truly a gem on the west coast!”
“Stefani is incredible! She's been a part of my great dane Willow's life since she was a puppy, and Willow absolutely loves her. Stefani even helped to find a food that Willow could tolerate — she had stomach issues for months and finally we resolved it together.”
“Our dog is big now, but when he started he was pretty little and scared of well, everything. Stephani was great at keeping him with the little dogs when he needed that and then when he got big, he got to run around with the big dogs at the park. I would 100% recommend Tefani & So. to anyone who needs dog daycare for dogs big and small!”
