Waffles

San Diego, CA

  Breed: Whoodle

  Weight: 25 lbs

  Age: 1 year old puppy

  Gender: Male

Waffles is the epitome of cuteness. He is still a puppy so he has lots of energy to play and explore. He's too fearless, friendly and curious for his own good. So we're working with a trainer to make sure he stops running up to folks for pets, and stops stealing food when I'm not looking. After work, we like to go to the park or dog beach so Waffles can run & play off-leash. I'm interested in exchanging some dog walks. I have a hybrid work schedule at the moment. I work in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Waffles needs a lunchtime walk during these days. I am home the rest of the week so can help walk your pup any other time. Find us on Balyhaydut. We're also okay for furry weekend guests.

Hi there! We're Patrice, Ben, and Hazy. We live right by Balboa Park, and love playing in the park and taking long walks/runs around the neighborhood. Hazy is an only child who loves every other dog (and human) he meets, so we try to have pup playdates as much as possible. Hazy is a fun, super high-energy, sweet pup who loves a good game of tug-of-war, picking up every stick he can find, chasing his ball, and napping hard.

Savannah

San Diego, CA

  Breed: Mixed Breed

  Weight: 45 lbs

  Age: 1 year old puppy

  Gender: Female

Hey doggy friends, Savannah here! My mommy rescued me from the humane society at 7 weeks old. She is so swell! She plays with me a lot and takes me on walks and to the dog park. I went to the beach once but got a bit scared of the water. I hope I can go back again cause I need to learn how to swim. Because I’m a puppy and have so much energy, my mommy bought me A LOT of toys. I really like the squeaky ones. I play with them in my yard. My mommy is also showing me how to play with other doggies. She takes me to day care 1 x a week and I get to play..play…play. Sometimes I play so much that I come home eat my snack and just take a nice nap in my crate. Right now, my mommy is teaching me that not all people and dogs are friendly and that I shouldn’t be to eager to try and play with every person or doggie I meet, eapecially when I’m on a leash. It’s important that I listen to her. Sometimes I get overly excited and I don’t listen to her so well. I have to do better with that. If there is one word to describe myself it would be PLAYFUL. I never get angry at others but sometimes I get scared. Thank goodness my mommy watches over me and protects me. I really really want to meet more friends. Can we connect? My mommy said it was ok to meet and play with strangers as long as she meets them first. My mommy is talking about taking a trip. I hope I get to go with her but if I can’t I hope I can stay with my new friends!

Sunshine

San Diego, CA

  Breed: Mixed Breed

  Weight: 40 lbs

  Age: 1 year old puppy

  Gender: Female

Hi neighbors!! We have a teenager Golden retriever/ husky/ chow mix who is filled with playful energy! We live in a one story SFH with a small fenced in backyard where sunshine loves to play chasing balls and getting the zoomies in our long driveway. About us: two adults. Currently i am a stay at home dog mom and my husband is a project manager. On occasion we like to travel back East ( where we’re originally from) or mostly just weekend trips somewhere that requires a flight. We would be looking for a loving home for Sunshine while we're away. Of course, we're happy to reciprocate! Sunshine loves to play tug , a game of fetch and/or a nice walk and then will sleep for awhile. We take her to the dog park pretty much everyday to get her energy out but it doesn’t take long even a 30 minute park play gets her nice and tired. We do allow sunshine on the furniture and our bed however she does listen when you tell her to get off. She loves kids and other dogs she may chase a cat but she’s harmless.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a sitter for puppy boarding in San Marcos?
Trading puppy sitting with other dog parents in San Marcos is absolutely free. WoofyClub charges a small membership of $49/year and it comes with a 30-day trial. You can absolutely use WoofyClub for free and still connect with other parents if you are not in a rush to put your own request in.
How do I contact a San Marcos sitter for puppy boarding?
You can chat with any dog sitter through our messaging feature. We encourage your to trade phone numbers when you meet up for your first playdate to form a personal connection.
How many sitters provide puppy boarding in San Marcos?
There are 24 sitters in San Marcos.
How long will it take for me to find a puppy boarding sitter in San Marcos?
It depends on your needs and the sitter's availability. We've seen people confirm their plans in as short as a few hours but typically it takes a week. It takes a few days to hear back from the community and then a few more days to meet up for a playdate to make sure the puppies are compatible and everyone is comfortable with the necessary care. If you're gone for longer trips (anything longer than an extended weekend), we also encourage a trial night to be absolutely sure.
How experienced are sitters providing puppy boarding in San Marcos?
All sitters on WoofyClub are current dog or puppy parents. For older members, they might have reviews as well on their profile. Do not hesitate to ask them more!
My dog has special needs. Can I find dog boarding on WoofyClub that can accommodate my dog’s needs?
Yes absolutely. We've matched up families with service dogs, diabetic dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. Make sure to discuss it with the host family and also to include it in your profile. Everyone's very accommodating but it's better not to provide any surprises :)
What if my dog is not yet spayed or neutered?
That's totally ok. When creating your profile, you'll be asked if your dog has been spayed or neutered. While there are fewer families willing to take in a dog that hasn't been spayed or neutered, many families are open to it still.
What if my dog hasn't been fully vaccinated?
In general, your dogs need to be fully vaccinated. However, that might not be possible for puppies. If your puppy is too young to get vaccinated and you have it scheduled for them, please let the host know about it. We also ask about your dog's vaccination status when creating your profile. Often times, we find puppy owners swapping with each other as they're both going through the same journey.
