HAPPY PUPS, HAPPY HOMES

The first step is getting to know you and your pup

Whether you’re looking for adventures, walking support, pet sitting, or wedding care, the first step is to reach out so we can learn about your pup and make sure the fit feels good for everyone.

We begin with a 30-minute meet & greet so we can get to know your pup, understand their needs, and answer any questions you have. We currently service South Laguna Beach, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano and coastal San Clemente.

WHEN TO REACH OUT

Different services have
different lead times.

Here’s a quick guide:

For Adventures & Walks

Most families reach out 1 week before starting. Regular schedules can be arranged monthly or seasonally.

For Pet Sitting & Overnight Care

Reach out as soon as travel plans start to form; holidays, summer, and long weekends fill first. We take bookings 3 months out.

For Wedding Care

Planners typically reach out 3–9 months ahead. Couples usually reach out once the venue is booked.

If you’re not sure how early to inquire, earlier is always better, we’ll help guide you from there.

From Our Clients

  • “My pups absolutely light up when they hear the bus coming down the street — they can hardly contain themselves. The walks and hikes give them real exercise and the socialization has been huge. Courtney pays attention to their behavior and training in a way that most walkers don’t. My dogs honestly wouldn’t want to be without her.”

    — Liz

  • The VW was such a fun and iconic addition to our wedding photos and Courtney made having our dog involved completely stress-free. She handled our dog with so much care, patience & EVEN MADE sure he was camera-ready the entire time. We got amazing photos! If you’re considering including your dog in your wedding, Courtney is an absolute must

    — Kristen

  • Since joining Pups Will Play, my dogs have become calmer, more relaxed, and obedient, plus they’re in great shape! They now have the energy and stamina to do so much more, and I love being able to take them everywhere with me on the weekends I work a corporate job that keeps me in the office five days a week and traveling often. My two adult dogs are my everything, so it’s such a relief knowing that every day they’re out on walks and adventures with Courtney and their furry friends.

    — Doug

  • I love to travel, so it is very important for me to have someone I trust watch my dog for me while I am away. I know he gets plenty of love and attention, is well cared for, and gets to have his own little vacation with all his pack pals. I’m very grateful for Courtney and Pups will Play!

    — Cheryl

  • Our dog immediately perks up and can hardly contain his excitement when he hears the Pups Will Play bus approaching, he clearly associates the bus & Courtney with fun & adventure! He gets so much great exercise and socialization with all his pack pals, and we love seeing how happy he looks in all the photos. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s having the time of his life and always comes home happy and well-exercised.

    — Debi

  • I love everything about Pups Will Play! The iconic bus, the gorgeous photos I receive of my dog having fun and most of all, Courtney. My dog leaps out the door to greet Courtney and crew on the street. She bounds into her iconic teal bus and off she goes for her daily adventure. I know with Courtney she is not only getting her daily exercise, but socialization as well.
