Cage-Free Dog Boarding in San Diego for Small Dogs
Maria provides overnight dog boarding and same-day dog daycare for San Diego and East County families from her Spring Valley home. Dogs 40 pounds and under get 24/7 human supervision, cage-free indoor space, backyard playtime, and daily photo and video updates.
Home Dog Boarding with Maria in Spring Valley
A quiet home, a grassy backyard, and a familiar face throughout the stay
At bedtime, your dog settles into a family home rather than an individual kennel run. I work remotely and provide 24/7 supervision, along with a climate-controlled indoor space and a grassy backyard for supervised play.
My chihuahua-rat terrier, Rumpy, shaped the kind of care I provide. He welcomed shy dogs into our home and taught me how much patience matters when a guest is settling in. Dogs can play in the yard, nap inside with the AC, and receive meals or medication according to the instructions you share before drop-off.
Maria's PetBNB specializes in dogs 40 pounds and under. The service is for dogs, not cats or other small animals. Boarding takes place in Maria's home; it isn't drop-in pet sitting at your home. Dog owners in San Diego and nearby communities, including El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Chula Vista, can check the San Diego service areas and read the boarding requirements before requesting dates.
Share your dog's size, routine, and dates so I can confirm whether my home is the right fit. 🐾
