San Diego's Pawsome Paradigm: Exploring The Heartwarming Dog Boarding Community

Hi I am AJ aka Mamager of Rocco & Rosie. Dad and Auntie is very present in R&Rs lives but sometimes our schedules don’t match. Human brother and grandparents are also part of team R&R. Looking forward to meeting new friends and be part of our team!

Family of 4 people and 1 friendly dog. In OB.

Millie is a sweet senior who loves being with others. Always up for an adventure...or nap. I work from home and live in Ocean Beach. Looking for people to swap boarding when we're out of town or just day/evenings when we're gone for awhile.

We rescued Izzy when she was a puppy. She loves children and chasing the ball. She likes long walks on the beach and treats. She gets along with other dogs and is curious about cats.

Waffles is the epitome of cuteness. He is still a puppy so he has lots of energy to play and explore. He's too fearless, friendly and curious for his own good. So we're working with a trainer to make sure he stops running up to folks for pets, and stops stealing food when I'm not looking. After work, we like to go to the park or dog beach so Waffles can run & play off-leash. I'm interested in exchanging some dog walks. I have a hybrid work schedule at the moment. I work in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Waffles needs a lunchtime walk during these days. I am home the rest of the week so can help walk your pup any other time. Find us on Balyhaydut. We're also okay for furry weekend guests.

My partner and I are looking for friends who can watch Irie a few times a year when we go on trips. We are willing to do the same ☺️ We have one other small Havapoo named Owen and we love dogs. We have a backyard with lots of room and take our babies to the park/on a walk often. We treat dogs we care for with lots of love!

Hi! I’m a dog mom to Zion and Juneau. We spend out day walking the neighbors, smelling butts at the neighborhood field, and visiting local restaurants and breweries. They’re both extremely friendly and loving. Zion seeks attention- will bark at you if you neglect him to your phone lol. Juneau is very chill. He will spend the day relaxing at home until getting beat up by his brother. I live in an apartment so can accommodate 1 larger dog or two smaller ones. I do leave for work for a few hours but never longer than 5-6. I’m a homebody so I’m usually around. I travel maybe every month or two so would love to have someone that the pups can hang out with while I’m gone. Happy to exchange the favor!

Ted is a very sweet and energetic little guy who loves to play and make new friends!!

I’m a single mom with the cutest pup in the world. Chewie loves to play fetch with his toy “piggie” and otherwise enjoys pets and snuggling up.

Hi there! We have a 4 year old rotty shepard cross who loves playing with other dogs. We have a big backyard and are excited to meet new doggy friends for him :)

Loveable, cuddly always. Love to play & chase. Love long walks at beach!

Luna is a Dutch shepherd, she had cancer and had one of her legs removed. She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She loves everybody and all other animals.

I live with my partner in San Diego. We live in a cozy apartment with our wonderful dog, Poppy! We love to travel and often swap pet sitting with our friends. Poppy is a quiet dog who gets along with other dogs, but prefers lower energy friends. She does not use a crate at home but we can provide one for sleeping/short breaks. Poppy does best with other female dogs of similar or smaller size.

I'm a teacher and a travel agent and would love to find a home away from home for my ride or die. She gets along with everyone, and is a very sweet girl.

Hi, my name is Pauline. My husband and I have several fur babies at home which include an elderly black cat, an elderly Yorkie, and a bunny. We just adopted Copper. He’s a 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix. Copper is an energetic and loving pup!

Hi! I have two pups. Zion, a 2 year old Bernedoodle, and his brother Juneau, a 7 year old husky/lab. We are both neutered and super friendly. We love playing with other pups of all types and sizes. Cats we’re not a fan of as we think they’re fun to chase. We’re pretty big boys, but I promise we are absolute sweethearts that love our walks or running around the yard.

Hello, I’m Ellis! I’m an interpreter/translator and I mostly work from home, I have no human children but I have my fur baby Mancha. Mancha is the sweetest, most social puppy I’ve known! In the almost 3 years that I’ve had her (we rescued her when she was a few weeks old) I’ve only heard her bark like 5 times! She LOVES attention and kids, she’s never bitten anyone and she’s super active and loves playing but she’s also very cuddly 🥰🐶

Hi! I’m Tracy and this is my 6 year old golden Charlie. Charlie loves other dogs and does well with cats. She is the sweetest dog who loves the play with toys and get all the pets. Charlie and I have been fostering dogs for the last year and really enjoy it. I travel occasionally for work and would love to find some help from a fellow dog lover to watch Char and be able to help someone else out. We look forward to meeting new friends!

Russ (my hubby), Rufus, and I live in North Park, near Morley Field. We’d love to connect with other dogs, and are open to exploring sharing dog sitting with a small group of neighbors. 🐕♥️

My husband and I live in University Heights and have had our fun loving pup, Jojo since she was a puppy. She turned 5 this year and is a huge sweetheart who gets along with all other dogs and humans.

Hiya! Watson's humans here. We love our snuggly 9 year old terrier mix. He enjoys going to the dog park to sniff and run. He absolutely loves the beach. He's great at loose leash walking. He likes having a designated spot to sit/let down. When we've watched friends dogs before, they join us in our park visits, beach dates, neighborhood walks, and snuggles.

My name is Valerie and I am a work from home dog mama to Tuna. She is the most loving, sweet, smart and kind puppy you'll ever meet. She LOVES dogs and people alike. She is potty trained (uses bells on the door to go out) and loves to run and play in the morning and take naps in the afternoon then play again once I am off work.

Hi, all. My three year old dog Luna is a shepherds mix. She’s shy, cuddly and loves sniffaris and training sessions. She’s crate trained, calm in homes and curious. She does shed. Heavy in summer and medium in fall and winter. She loves playing with small dogs and loves to rough house with bigger dogs. I monitor her movement when around other dogs and is trained to disengage when commanded (in case she’s being too aggressive in play). She can be trusted to play off leash in unfenced areas.

Friendly, cuddly, sweet, loves to fetch.

Hi community! Kaimu and I are thrilled to see this option for boarding as we both love new dog friends, and Kai girl especially prefers to not be alone so this is ideal for Leslie to take trips away without worry! Kaimu loves almost every dog and human she meets, and is playful, LOVES walks, and overall a very chill, easy going loving companion. She gets full access to couch, bed, and back yard and your pet will get the same in our home! The fenced yard is a nice size for all the sun bathing or shade chilling a heart desires.

Hi! I’m Kylie and she is Reese! Reese is my first dog, but I’ve dog sat all my life and grew up with pups too! We love a good walk, outing, dog park, beach adventure … or are content hanging at home. I work longer days, but Fridays and weekends I’m off! Reese has been home alone with other dogs and plays well! Not a huge barker (unless during play time), doesn’t shed and is occasionally crazy (but a good girl).

My husband and I love our two Australian shepherd babies! They truly are our children. We love going on hikes, the beach, and adventuring together!

My poor pup is bored watching me at my computer while I work from home, he would love a fur friend to hang out with and watch the squirrels in the canyon with. He likes to play some, he gets little moments of zippies, but mostly likes to snuggle. He enjoys sun bathing on the porch or back deck. He tolerates his human sister (don’t let him fool you, he chooses to sleep in her room every night), but what he really wants is a fur sibling. We keep saying no, so fur friends are the next best thing. My mom brings her little dog down for weekend visits and used to bring her old pup before that dog passed away at the age of 16. Tonic was always so happy with them here and is respectful. He takes no for an answer and backs away… unless you’re a cat/bird/rodent. He is well trained (professionally). He is only allowed in bed when we give him permission (rare occasions, the dog sitter spoils him there!) I don’t need dog sitting (Tonic can get anxiety when staying elsewhere overnight so we use a regular pet sitter who he gets to go to the salon with even), but we would love day play dates and can watch dogs overnight at our place once we get to know the pup.

Zoe is a fun, loving, friendly doodle. She loves other dog especially doodles.

Greetings! My little pod is two humans, a dog, a cat, and a tortoise. Both humans work from home and regularly welcome our home to a variety of foster animals. Bucky (doggo) is the bestest of boys and a great host to animals of all kinds. He’s respectful of boundaries, but also loves to play tag and wrestle if allowed.

Hi! Ricky is a 4yr old Baja rescue who is great with people, kids, and other dogs. He's full of energy and loves walks, hikes, and runs. Rick shares better with female dogs and for reasons I can't explain, he loves Chihuahuas, haha. I have a small house with a yard and while I do work full time during the week, the doggos have access to the yard via a doggie door. I'm pretty active myself and walk doggos for 30min in the morning and for roughly 45min when I get home. I live across the street from a fenced dog park and happy to take friendly dogs there. I co-run a dog rescue and have fostered all breeds and ages of dogs for the past 15yrs. In college I was a vet tech so administrating meds is not a problem. I enjoy taking a 3-4 day weekend every so often, looking to trade dog sitting services with someone similar. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

My partner James and I live in San Diego with our 11 year old dog Vegas. We have a fenced in yard and a cozy home. James works from home so Vegas is rarely alone.

Hello, animal lover & responsible, experienced dog owner. Benicio is your typical goofy, loving, high energy Vizsla!

Sassy is a retriever/spaniel mix. A pounce-play girl. Friendly once she gets to know you

Hi there! My name is Toni and my pups name is Odie. 😊 I rescued Odie from the streets about 4 years ago. He is the sweetest dog, very friendly with humans and dogs (sometimes can be over excited with dogs). I have always taken him to boarding but would love to meet another dog family that we can trust to swap pups with during our vacations! He was neutered this past summer and I think it has helped him play with other dogs but he could still use more socializing so if anything it would also be great to meet another dog for a few play dates beforehand! 🐶

Hi! We’re a little family of three. My partner and I both work remotely and have a lot of flexibility in our schedules to care for your pup. We also enjoy traveling and could use an extra hand from Time to time.

Hi this is Oreo and Paritosh! Nice to meet ya! We live in Serra Mesa area. Oreo is a fun loving, playful and a very happy beagle with a constantly wagging tail. He’s gets a bit excited meeting new people but quotes down quickly once he introduces himself. We have a house with a proper fence backyard where Oreo usually spends most of his time. Every evening Oreo goes to a nearby park where he plays fetch for good 30-45mins.

Bass & Muffin Muffin is a female Toy Poodle who weights only 3.8 lbs. We would be happy to exchange dog sitting with another female pup that weights under 5-6 lbs. I work from home and spend almost every hour with my pup, so your pup would never be unsupervised. I travel for work 3-4 times a year for 2-4 days

Hello! My names Jeremiah. I’ve had dogs all my life, and their care is nothing new! I’ve got a little maltipoo name Kobe with separation anxiety and ADD haha. He’s a cutie though!

Rowdy’s a playful, goofy, ball loving boy who’s looking for some energetic playmates to hang out with when I can’t keep up!

I live in Scripps Ranch with my husband, 2 daughters (12 & 14) and 3 year old pup, Asher. I work from home so am with my dog most of the day. I’m interested in trading off boarding duties. My dog is very social & loves being with other dog (large & small).

Ted is the most easy going dog there is! He gets along with anyone and everyone. Usually our friends love to watch him but heard great things about using this as well!

Hello, me and my husband adopted Joey last year. He is a fun loving, energetic, loving and really friendly pup. He is the light of our eyes. We love taking him out with us everywhere.

We are a fun loving family. My hubby and I are mostly retired and love to play with our doggie Koko. She is good natured, LOVES to play fetch, go on walks, and hit the beach.

Hoping to connect with some other little dog families! We are both in the Air National Guard and do monthly drill that takes us away from the girlies for 10-12 hours per day on a weekend. Plus occasionally we have days where we spend the whole day out but we hate to leave them alone so long so we’d love to be able to share dog sitting with some friendly faces in the area!
