Deana was the absolute best. Our first WAG experience and we are over the moon happy with Trooper s boarding. Deana took the time to meet us, shared her home and made sure Trooper was comfortable before his stay. During the boarding, Deana was communicative, shared photos and videos of our baby boy and kept us up to date on how he was doing overall during the week (which was great). We immediately booked another stay with Deana while still on vacation because we were so happy with how she was treating Trooper. Can t recommend Deana enough to anyone looking to board their fur baby. We hope to have found a permanent pup sitter for Trooper! She even sent him home with a little toy surprise, so sweet! Thank you again, Deana! He can t wait to see you again in August.

Our puppy boarded with Berfin while we were on vacation. It was our first time being away from our pup so we were a little nervous about the trip but Berfin was amazing! Her great care made us feel at ease. She gave our dog so much love including a dog treat cake and birthday celebration with hat and bandana since we were away when our dog turned 1. We received tons of photos and updates. Berfin is the best and your pet will be in good hands with her.

Leslie hands down took the absolute bestest care of our boy while we were away. We were always updated on his shenanigans which gave us peace of mind knowing he was very well looked after. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone who s looking for someone to look after their kiddo at any time knowing that they will be provided with the highest quality of care and attention.

Lisa took amazing care of Bowie while I was away! She kept me updated the whole time with great communication and the cutest pictures of Bowie seriously, the photos were amazing! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I m especially thankful that she stayed up late when my flight got delayed so she could still handle Bowie for me when I finally got back to San Diego. That level of care and kindness meant a lot. I recommend Lisa 100% and would absolutely trust her with Bowie again!

Lisa was very responsive and communicative from the start. Her home is very dog friendly. A place to run around outside and safe street to walk on. Lisa sent the best photos and videos of my two pugs playing, relaxing and sleeping I loved receiving them while in Europe. She went out of her way to make me see they were happy. I will be hiring her again.

The best dog events in San Diego

Walk for Animals
San Diego’s largest dog walk, the much anticipated annual Walk for Animals, takes place at NTC Park each May. This paw-somely popular pet event sees huge crowds of dog lovers and their furry friends pound the pavement around a scenic two-mile course, with funds raised on the day going to support San Diego Humane Society. There’s plenty more happening around the walk as well, with a pancake breakfast, vendor village, and fun doggie activities right through till noon. So get your walking shoes, get your dog, and get ready to support a very good cause — and have a whale of a time doing it.

5k Paw Walk in the Garden
Put your best paw forward and support a couple of very worthy causes at this delightful annual dog walk. Held to benefit Rancho Coastal Humane Society and San Diego Botanic Garden, this 5k stroll takes dogs and their owners through this beautiful garden in Encinitas. As the event is completely non-competitive, you can tackle the course however you like: run at a million miles an hour, or sit, drop, and stay for a while whenever you feel like it. You can also browse a range of pet products, enjoy some tasty treats (for dogs and people), or just relax and enjoy the peace and serenity of the garden surrounds.

Carnival 4 Canines
If you’re looking for a fun family celebration of all things dog, this is the event for you. Held in October at La Mesa’s Harry Griffen Park, this woof-tastic carnival is packed full of dog-friendly activities to entertain all animal lovers. You can watch all the excitement on the doggie agility course, watch pooches pose and strut their stuff in the pet costume contest, check out local rescue groups, and get your paws on plenty of delicious food and drink. Best of all, the event benefits Jackie Blue's Rescue Angels and helps them find loving homes for unwanted animals.

Doggie Street Festival
The Doggie Street Festival is Southern California’s largest pet adoption-focused festival. It’s held in several cities across the country, but the original and best is in San Diego. While the main focus at this event is on saving homeless dogs — and you’ll be able to meet a heap of rescue groups on site — there’s a ton more to see and do. Bring your pooch along to NTC Park at Liberty Station and enjoy music, food, pet products and services, vet tips, a kids’ art area and stacks more. Your pet will love every second of it!
Bow Wow Beer Bash
Beer and bow-wows — what more could you possibly need for a grrr-eat night out? Since you asked, how about a K9 costume contest and the chance to raise funds for a deserving local non-profit? All of the above is just a taste of what you can expect at the annual Bow Wow Beer Bash, the annual Halloween party with plenty of heart. Held at Mission Brewery, it gives dog lovers the chance to enjoy craft beers, food trucks, trick or treating, and pet vendors, plus all the cute canines you can handle in the doggy costume contest! The Bash raises funds for Cammies & Canines, a non-profit that rescues homeless dogs and heals homeless veterans, and you’ll need to get in early because tickets don’t last long.
