Animal Keeper is the ultimate pet boarding, training and grooming spot in North County. The Company is based out of San Diego and has three locations county wide. The employees here love your pets almost as much as you do, and consider Animal Keeper a “home away from home.”
Advanced Reservations are recommended as the Animal Keeper has many regular customers and often cannot accommodate walk-ins. Its day camps are divided between big and little dogs to ensure the safety of all pups. Some of the daily activities include story time, good manners training, basic agility training and one on one play.

Dippity Dog has been serving the very pet-friendly Oceanside community since 1996. The company is actually two different businesses in one: a pet grooming business and this half, which specializes in dog training and boarding. The professional, experienced trainers here offer basic obedience and agility training, with classes available by group or one-on-one. Dippity Dog's boarding facilities are excellent, offering pet care services with 24-hour supervision, sleeping outside of a kennel, morning and evening walks, food and medication. Dogs showing up for day or overnight care must have all of their vaccines. The business also offers "drop-in care," which involves employees coming to a client's house for walks and feedings. For more information on the services offered, visit the Dippity Dog website.
