Our San Diego Dog Boarding Facility

We offer comfortable accommodations for dogs and have a wide variety of activities available for our doggy campers. Campers enjoy their own private room with an attached outdoor patio.

How Our Dog Boarding Works

Our unique dog kennel allows us to maintain climate control indoors with access to an outdoor patio. This means that your camper will feel right at home, able to sleep inside their own private den at night, and in the morning they can pass through their patio door to their own outdoor covered patio.

All dog boarders are fed in the morning then are taken out for their playtimes.

Social dog boarders will be taken to our outdoor play yard where they will play with other social campers as well as pet technicians!

Fon Jon Dog Boarding Reviews

quotation mark logo

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!

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.

The service and the staff at Fon Jon Pet Care has been wonderful! They are super pleasant and attentive. I’ve mostly used their boarding services and some of the extra services they offer like and everything has been great. My dog is pretty anxious but the staff is so welcoming and he gets pretty excited when he arrives.

I’ve been taking my pup to Fon Jon for just over a year now for both doggy daycare and extended boarding when I need to leave town for work. The staff is wonderful and my dog always comes home exhausted from playing all day. I can leave town without worrying knowing my dog is in the best care at Fon Jon.

Fon Jon is THE BEST Dog day care. Their prices are very reasonable, staff is AMAZING, and we even drive all the way from Chula Vista to board and daycare our dog. Our dog has been shunned by two other dog centers because they didn’t know how to handle him. We have had ZERO complaints from Fon Jon and have been going there for the past 3 years. Our dog is always super happy after leaving and we only wish they were closer!

Alice Hurlbut

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
