Windsong Resort for Pets

i use to work here place is really cool i love working with pets to bad they shut down :(

Well… Where do I start. After reading all of the stellar reviews we wanted to leave our «Stella» with Windsong over the Christmas holidays. I began calling Windsong Resort two weeks ago. Each time it went to voice mail, so each time I left a detailed message. after leaving three messages over the past few weeks and never once receiving a call back… I was really dismayed at the lack of courtesy and seemingly poor business practices. At this point I decided to make a trip out there to see what was going on. I arrived at their front gate on Tuesday afternoon about 2 PM only to find the gate (both gates) closed. It didn’t seem that there was even anyone on the property… I’m guessing that they may have gone out of business or ??? I’m annoyed and disappointed and can’t imagine what’s going on with this place. I’ll continue my quest to find a nice place for our «little girl» over the holiday season.

overdue to post a Unilocal about Windsong. I have brought my little Jaimie girl there for the 3^rd time. She is there as we speak and I miss her dearly. The facility is definitely clean and the pet rooms are spacious and fresh air can enter. I love the backyard, grass/​play area and is primarily the reason I choose this pet resort. Mike & crew take the dogs out several times a day and give extra TLC to my shy, fearful rescue girl. Mike gets how much I love Jaimie and if I could take her with me everywhere I would. Thank you for loving her, keeping her safe and having fun time.

I can also add a 5 stars to this place. My parents have been using Windsong for years and have always spoke highly of it, so my wife and I decided to try it. We have a 7 month old German shepherd puppy that we were worried about leaving for the first time. Our puppy has a lot of energy so I was worried about boarding him where he would just be locked in a room all day, not the case at Windsong. Michael and his staff were great. They were very accommodating and knowledgable. After six days when I picked up him he was well exercised and happy. The grounds are very nice and well kept. We will return.

We dropped off our babies, Dräco & Jacopo (Persian cats) while we enjoyed some R&R on Maui and we couldn’t be happier with the treatment and and attention they received! They had lots of playtime and they even got to explore the lobby! We will definitely take them back whenever we have to leave town again!

Many thanks to Mike and the rest of Windsong’s staff for taking great care of Monty the Wonderdog while we were away on vacation. They’ve helped my family get significantly more out of our vacation experience because we weren’t worried about our little buddy. I appreciate anyone who has a passion for their work and Mike clearly qualifys. Call Windsond and even over the phone, you’ll know it’s the place for your four legged fur babys!

Windsong Resort is a clean and comfortable place for pets. They have a beautiful outdoor area where the pets take their breaks. Calvin was extremely helpful and took excellent care of our dog Greta. We will definitely return the next time we need a place for her to stay.

Man, I LOVE THIS PLACE! Back in August my husband and I had to leave town for two weeks and couldn’t find anyone to stay at home with our 5-​month-​old lab mix (rescue) puppy. We took him to Windsong and I’m so happy we did– our puppy came back to us looking happy and healthy, and he even learned a few new commands while we were gone (they taught him to stop jumping on people– amazing!).
The place is so great: they have a nice open area for dogs to run wild, the rooms are nice, the food they give the animals is excellent, etc. However, Windsong’s best feature is its staff. Michael and Nick (the two I met) are knowledgeable and total pet people– I mean, anyone who immediately after meeting my dog uses his thumbs to clean out my dog’s eye gunk like it’s nothing is awesome in my book. Also, on their Facebook page they post pictures of their guests. Seeing my little pup running around with other dogs was so great! It helped ease the anxiety of being apart for so long. (Yes, I’m one of THOSE owners).
This is my first Unilocal review, I just had to share my love for this place. If you need a place for your dog to stay you should definitely check these guys out!

Windsong Resort for Pets is awesome!!! I’m your typical overprotective dog owner. Our dogs are like children to us. I had a great deal of anxiety about the thought of leaving my dog with anyone while I attended a family reunion out of state. Well, Michael (Owner) very personable and professional. I visited the Windsong Resort several weeks before I made a commitment to leave my dog there. Dogs and cats have their own small rooms to stay in. Michael recommended I bring my dog «Leo» bedding he sleeps on, and toys. He also recommended I bring some old clothing we have so that our dog could smell us. Michael also said they give medications to pets who take them on a regular basis. Pet owners are encouraged to bring their pets food in from home and treats. However, he said they have plenty of dog and cat food if I wanted to use their food.
Dogs go outside five (5) times per day or more if requested. The dogs get to run on a large ½ acre or so when their outside. I left my Leo at the Windsong Resort for four (4) nights. Michael (Owner) posted pictures of my dog Leo on Facebook page daily. Michael was very kind when I spoke to him daily on the phone for a progress report. My dog was in great shape and healthly when I picked him up. I will not hesitate to bring my dog to Windsong Resort in the future. Now I feel confident that I can leave Leo and travel more often. I highly recommend Windsong Resort for Pets. Windsong is located in a rural area near Escondido. I’m sure you’ll be happy with this resort for your pets…

They took care of my puppy like their own pet. He was fluffy and clean after the services.

Windsong has become my saving grace. After a bad experience at a previous boarding facility I thought my poor dog was never going to feel comfortable being left alone. Then, I found Mike and the amazing Windsong staff. They take care of my dog like he is their own. I love the fact that Mike posts real time pictures of my dog to their Facebook page so I can see what is going on while I am away. Mike is so calming and so willing to go above and beyond– I will never take my dog anywhere else!

I must begin by saying that my wife and I did much research in the north county area when it came time to board our 8 month old beabull (Budo). We really did not want to throw him in a traditional kennel operation during the heat as of late and also did not like some of the commercial operations that would put him in a group of 15 – 20 dogs and not be on site overnight. I had a reservation at a decent place, but it did not seem like the right fit for our little guy. Then I came across Windsong on Unilocal about 1 week before our departure. After looking at the website and Facebook page, I visited the resort with Budo. Mike was terrific with him and I loved the setup for the dogs with the rooms and large run for the dogs to play. Lucky for us one opening was available. (If you are considering Windsong then you should book early as there are limited spots and many regular customers).
Mike asked me about Budo’s eating habits, playtime preferences, and socialization with other dogs. When it came time to drop him off, I had no worries and Budo really liked Nick and Mike. The pictures on Facebook showed us our happy little dog and that he was running around with a frisbee and interacting with Winston– another dog his age.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Mike and Nick will make you feel at ease and give your pet the attention that it deserves. I will be booking well in advance of any future trips. Windsong is Budo’s new second home.

I have never left my dog alone with anyone other than family, but I needed to find a place for my 3 lb Yorkie to stay for 2 weeks. I researched many places and decided to go with Windsong. They were great from beginning to end! They allowed me to tour the facility prior to my dog’s stay, and they answered any questions I had in the meantime.
Once my dog’s stay finally began, they went above and beyond all expectations. It was clear from the beginning that Mike knew how to make the transition as easy as possible for my dog (and me as well). They emailed to let me know he was OK, they posted pictures throughout his stay, and it was obvious they gave him the amount of attention he has come to expect. When it was time for him to come home, he showed all the signs of wanting to stick around Windsong. I can’t say enough good things about this place! I was so hesitant to leave my little pup with anyone for that amount of time, but now my wife and I are looking for opportunities to take him back there. It was that great of an experience!
If you are like us — protective of your dog and hate the thought of trusting someone else to cater to him — trust me when I say that you can’t go wrong with Windsong Resort!

We were concerned about leaving our puppy Levi somewhere while we were away. After looking at a couple different places and didn’t have a good feeling about putting our dog just any where he was «kenneled» at night. We saw Windsong on Unilocal and from the nice pictures and stellar reviews we called them up. From day 1 on the phone, Mike was very friendly and encouraged us to come see his place. Once seeing the place, there was no doubt that this was going to be good for Levi (our puppy). The grounds are immaculate and we felt good that there was someone on the property over night…
Well, after picking Levi up from Windsong after a couple nights stay we know we will be using them again. From the nice rooms, to the large open field to play, to finally how extremely nice Mike and Nick were and make you feel like your dog is the only one at the resort. I was even concerned how dirty Levi might have been since the weather was bad while he was at his stay. But, he was given back to us, he was as clean as we brought him there.
I recommend anyone that wants to get away and is concerned about where to leave their dog while gone. You wont be disappointed.

As first time «parents», my wife and I always get a little separation anxiety about leaving our dog when we go on trips. We have used Windsong twice now and I think it is safe to say we will worry no more! Mike, the owner I think, is absolutely amazing. You can tell he truly cares for your pet. Even though we were only gone for three days, Mike must have known we would be missing our dog, so he emailed us pictures of her playing in their huge fenced in yard. There was also another employee, I think his name was Nick, who too was great. He carried our dogs «luggage» to and from the car. This is the only place we have taken our dog, and with these prices and the impeccable service, we will never go anywhere else! Thank you Mike, Nick, and anyone else who I am forgetting!

Windsong is the only place I will board my pets! I found them on Unilocal when I first moved to Cali. They boarded my cat for a couple of weeks while I settled in. The first time I met Mike he quickly greeted me then spent more time doting on my kitty. (That’s my kind of person!) My cat loves the outdoor patio where he can get sun and catch lizards. He has always wanted to be an outdoor cat so this is the closest he will ever get to supervised outside time.
They also take care of my feisty dog, and she is difficult to manage. They have never had a problem with her, and she gets so excited when we turn on the road to the resort! My dog always comes home exhausted after playing in the fields. They are always accommodating if I am stuck in traffic on the way to pick them up. They even opened up on a Sunday to take my «kids» in when I was forced out of my apartment because of a flood. They truly treat my pets like they are their own, and I never worry about them when I am away.

My boyfriend and I were in desperate need of some time away, but we had to board our dog. It would be the first time that we would board him since we adopted him and to say we were slightly nervous parents is an understatement. We wanted to make sure Martin (our dog) had space to sleep and play. After a lengthy search, we finally felt that Windsong would be the best place for him.
It is nestled away in a lush, wooded area so he had space for running and playing during the day. His room was definitely a room with lighting and the door had an opening halfway up, so Martin could jump up and see out if he needed.
The owners, Michael and Michelle, run a nice place. They offer a bed for the dogs and they will feed your dogs when you tell them. They offer extra treats (at a price) and their overall fees were more than reasonable for all the amenities they were offering.
We had an awesome experience here and we look forward to bringing Martin back for the next vacation!
