Fon Jon has been an absolute blessing! The rates are best in town and the services have exceeded expectations. The employees are consistent, willing to help and super friendly. Training from their neighbors Man-K9… don’t even get me started! Absolutely wonderful. I recommend both to anyone looking for help with their fur baby!

Fon Jon Pet Care is the BEST! We stared weekly day care to test the waters for future boarding later this year. Getting our dog into their system and set up was a breeze. Our pup loves day care so much that we have peace for our future boarding. You can tell that the staff genuinely care for the dogs and overall experience.

We’ve been using Fon Jon’s for our pets needs since 2001. They’ve boarded & trained all of our pets. They truly are the best dog trainers in Southern California. We always feel comfortable about leaving & boarding our fur baby’s with a facility that’s loves our pets, as much as we do. We also use their monthly dog daycare to allow our pets to socialize, play and have fun. We HIGHLY Recommend them to everyone we know

We’ve been with Fon Jon for over eight years. My two dogs and two cats are always happy when they come home. Our youngest recognizes the route and goes crazy with excitement every time we visit. We use boarding, grooming, training and (mostly) Doggie Day Care. I’m honestly hesitant to even try another facility!

These guys are the BEST pet care and boarding facility in San Diego!!

I don’t trust my fur babies with anybody else. I found Fon Jon last September after rescuing my 2 year old, 100 pound American Bulldog, Bruce. I also have a 60 pound American Staffordshire Terrier named Pepper, and they both LOVE Fon Jon Pet Care Center.

Their pricing is fair, and they always do such a good job and take such good care of my dogs. They always come home smelling and looking so clean after their “spa day”. Thanks Fon Jon!!

I have been taking my fur babies to Fon Jon for over 17 years and there is no one else I trust with them. The staff is so wonderful and not only really care/love/understand the pups but also me and my life. I have recommended Fon Jon to many friends, who also love it there. I work from home and need to travel sometimes, so my pups go to daycare to play every day and are boarded there when I need to be out of town. Thank you Fon Jon for everything you do!
