Excellent care to our furry baby and super friendly staff. If support this family own business instead of going to a big box day care.

Whenever we're leaving town or when our girl needs a play date, we take her to Canines Unleashed. When we pick her up, she has so much to talk about She's a very smart breed (Australian Healer mix and she tells us that we've made a great choice by how excited she is to return each time we bring her. What I especially like about Canines Unleashed is that on Fourth of July they play music to block out the fireworks, and the team members have beds directly in the area where they board the animals so that they are close by them. read more

I take my two French Bulldogs and my Yellow Lab here all the time for doggy daycare and boarding, and I couldn't be happier! The customer service is absolutely amazing -- they greet you right at your car to help with the dogs, which makes drop-off so easy. You can truly see the passion and care that Keith, the owner, and all his staff has for every single dog that comes through the door. It's such a relief knowing my dogs are in loving, capable hands. They always come home happy, tired, and well cared for. I 100% trust this team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and reliable place for their pups! read more

Very happy with doggie day care! Excellent customer service, easy to book! Really appreciate the early hours for drop off. My Golden Retriever has enjoyed his days and excited for each day he goes! read more

They have been a life saver when I got my beagle puppy. I buy the 20 1/2 day package. It's the most economical. Seamus can go for up to 6 hours any day of the week, any times their open. Did I mention that they do seasonal pics? He hates dressing up for me, but they get him to wear clothes and hats. AND POSE FOR THE CAMERA. I love getting the pics. They are so friendly. The place smells clean all the time. Seamus loves going. Here's Seamus' winter pic read more

We've been bringing my boy Soks to Canines for a while now and we absolutely love it! The staff is super friendly and Soks is always excited to see his buddies. Pricing is super affordable as well compared to other places. 10/10 read more

This place is truly the best daycare! They are so friendly and nice. They always come out to greet you at your car to take your pup with a smile on their face (even at 6:30 in the morning!). They are great at communicating and answering emails/texts/phone calls and everything. They really go above and beyond. And you can watch your pup on the camera which is always a plus! read more

Amazing dog daycare! We used their daycare as well as their overnight boarding. Our dog LOVED coming here. They are kind and clearly care about each pup. The cameras are nice to have, and they even give the cutest pictures at Christmas and Halloween. They have reasonable prices and lots of love! read more

I love this place!! We just started daycare here. My puppy Emma loves coming here. She loves meeting and playing with the other dogs. And the camera view access is great to watch the dogs play. She is exhausted at the end of the day. She even smells nice! Keith and his team are Awesome! They really have fun and take care of the dogs. I highly recommend taking your dogs here if you need daycare. Very reasonable price as well. I'll be coming here regularly. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet by saying Canines Unleashed is by far and away the best daycare center in San Diego! 10/10 would recommend.

We love Canines Unleashed! We've been using them for periodic daycare and boarding since my almost one year old pup was old enough to go. Our pup always gets so excited when we get close and then goes bolting inside so we know she is happy there and has good experiences. The staff is all super kind. I appreciate that you can opt for a bath at the end to help clean off the smell of being around other dogs! Great place! read more

I brought my dog here for 4 nights boarding, and I can tell that my dog loved beingl there! The staff were very nice and very professional. The doggie cams were very helpful so you can check on your dogs whenever you want to only downside is I don't see my dog at night because they turn off the cameras. But I understand! That's just me missing my dog a lot Check in and out is very smooth. Booking can be done online which makes it even easier! I will ABSOLUTELY recommend this place to everyone. read more

The best doggie daycare ever. I'm a first time puppy parent- and there was no way I was going to leave my tiny dog alone in the house all day while I went back to work. Although I was nervous- it didn't take long for my dog to greet her" doggie sitters " with kisses and tail wagging. The staff greet you curbside- and I get holiday pictures of my dog . I don't know how they got her to wear Easter bunny ears- but omg! How cute is that! read more

this is the best place to take your pup!!! they care so much about your dogs. It's an easy pick up and drop off for daycare especially if your in a hurry all the time like me lol. they always do holiday photo shoots too which are my favorite pictures of my dog. prices are super affordable, great staff, love it!! read more

Awesome doggie daycare! They have a great app too so you can take care of payments and reservations easily. SO glad we found it!

We recently started taking our pup to a new daycare after moving across town. My dog is soooo happy here. I love watching her on the cameras and playing a lot. They have an outdoor/ indoor space. They don't use kennels and are supervised 24/7. I feel comfortable taking my dog here and trust that she is safe. I'm an overprotective crazy dog mom btw lol! read more

We've been taking our crazy pup to Canines Unleashed since they first opened up and we couldn't be happier to find them. I love being able to check in on him during the day by way of their webcams. Erika, Keith, and the rest of the staff have amazing energy and obviously care greatly for the dogs they oversee. We'll take Curby in a couple of times a week, and even though he doesn't want to leave, he's so much better after socializing with other dogs and playing all day long. He doesn't do well in a "caged" environment, so when we have had to go out of town for a couple of days their boarding practices are ideal. We feel very fortunate to have found Canines Unleashed, and appreciate all they do! read more

My dog literally starts barking with joy when we turn into the parking lots at Canines unleashed. They take amazing care of all the pups and I like that there are cameras so you can see what your baby is doing. Highly recommend! read more

I wish I would have noticed all of the reviews are almost a year old. If you have a brachycephalic dog, I highly suggest never bringing them here. It states that they are "climate controlled" however I brought my English Bulldog there on a summer day when it was 84 degrees, and she was kept in two areas: either outside or in a joining room that was inside but connected to the outside area and had no air condition nor "climate control" which essentially made it the same temperature as outside. I was assured she would be fine and when I called I was told everything was fine. I watched on the camera they let you view and there must have been 50 dogs there, they have at least 4 rooms which 2 look air conditioned but only 2 were used and all of the dogs were crammed in this tiny area. She literally followed the staff around for hours wanting attention and to play but was ignored the entire day. There were no toys for the dogs only 2-3 balls the staff would pick up and throw a few times an hour. When I picked her up she smelled like urine because all of the dogs just pee and poop all over the rooms that are literally covered with other dogs with no space to run or play. She was overheated and I almost had to take her to the emergency vet but was able to get ice and the air conditioner to cool her down. This was all on my "trial day" and no surprise I received absolutely no follow-up on how the day went. I highly suggest not going here unless you want your dog to sit in a hot room with 50 other dogs, no toys, and smell like urine and feces every day. read more

I have a high energy Pomeranian puppy and took him here to see if he might be a good fit nearly a year ago. As you can see, the answer is yes! He definitely loves spending time with the people and other doggy friends. The staff here is communicative and friendly, always giving you updates should something arise with your fur baby. They make it easy to schedule/purchase packages for daycare, boarding, etc. with the app and texting too! read more

My dog ​​loves to play there. Since she started being there, she has more confidence playing with dogs bigger than her. Returning home very tired and happy. But, it comes back very smelly They work all days of the week and you can make packages according to times and quantity. read more

I have been taking my dogs here for two years now. I first started when I first lived across the street because it was convenient, but then I moved to Santee and still drive all the way here because I love this place so much! They are a great family run business and every worker knows my dogs instantly. The process for dropping off and picking up could not be easier. They have a barcode you can attach to your dogs collar that they scan when the dogs are there so you pull up and they come out to your car to take the dogs! Done in seconds. Other daycares I have been to it would take like 30 minutes just to drop them off and make me late to work. I've never had that problem here! I love that you can watch the dogs on the camera and that they offer a first responder discount. Also they always have candy and goodies out so I get myself a treat at the end of the day when I'm picking my dogs up too. Nice little touch that makes a difference read more

So far I'm very impressed with this new company. It came highly recommended by a good friend. Took my Frenchie there today for his temperament test and he didn't want to leave. He's still a puppy and had tons of energy. He only spent one hour there and has been sleeping all day. So excited to get him there a few times a week for playtime. read more

I take my puppy here a lot, she has endless energy and plays here all day long ( you can watch on webcams). She used to engage in destructive behavior and not sleep at night because she slept most the day and was alone. Not anymore! Keith the owner is awesome, as is all the dog handlers, they play and keep all the pups busy all day! Couldn't be happier with this business. read more

We've used this daycare for over a year now. The staff is always friendly and and very accommodating . My dog always has a great time, comes home tired, and the staff even makes the CUTEST holiday gifts for the dog parents I appreciate the staff and hope to see the business continue to thrive. read more

We could not be happier with canines unleashed! We've been taking our dogs there for almost a year now at least 2x a week and for overnights. Keith and Erica have been extremely flexible and helpful even during COVID. It's apparent that they care about every single one of their dogs. From birthday celebrations, to holiday and Halloween photos, they do it all! The dogs are always eager to jump out the car and head in to daycare! One time Keith was even nice enough to help out and take one of our dogs to my house (only about 1 mile away) from day care when a personal situation arose and we were not able to get to the dogs on time. We never worry when the dogs are there. We have complete confidence in Keith, Erica and all the employees there that our babies are well taken care of. We are lifers! Thank you canines unleashed for always treating our babies like your own!! (I promise maverick LOVES his hat) read more

What an amazing place this is! So glad we came across it! Friendly staff, very clean, and the best part is my fur baby was well taken care of. I highly recommend this place and look forward to bringing my dog back soon. read more

My pups favorite place! The staff is awesome , they really care about the dogs. They really go above and beyond

I've been coming here for about a month and I am so pleased with the staff and the facility. The location is perfect for me, there's always parking, their communication is amazing, and the staff greet you and your furry friend in the parking lot with smiling faces. My dog loves this place and comes back happy and properly exhausted every time. What I love most is that they recognize when my dog is going too hard in the paint for too long (because she's a husky) and will rest her when necessary. They really care about each dog and it shows in everyway. My one and only wish would be for later hours for pick up, because my dog love this place so much, but I also totally understand why that might not be possible. Overall, I absolutely LOVE this facility for daycare and overnight boarding. I've tested a few doggy daycare places in SD, and without doubt this is my favorite; I cannot recommend it enough. read more

I was so Elated to find a Dog Daycare right down the street from my home! I am a nurse, with long hours, so I need people who care about my boys to look after them while I am at work. I was so blown away by the kindness of this company! They were so easy and so accommodating with discounts for nurses in this time we are in, I just was so happy. Then, when I saw my pups on their cam, the staff was actually playing with them, throwing balls, giving hugs and pets, and lots of that! I've been to so many dog daycares where the workers don't even acknowledge the dogs. Well, not here! You can tell, they really care and go way above and beyond here! If you love your dogs, and want them to play all day and be dog tired at the end of the day, look no further than this establishment!!! You won't regret it! read more

Canines Unleashed is the BEST doggy daycare and boarding facility! My dog has so much fun here and the staff is amazing. We have gone for daycare and boarding, and I always know my dog is going to have a great team of people watching her. It's very convenient to use the app to pay for services and schedule her daycare and boarding. Also, drop off and pick up is super quick and well organized. We are so thankful for Canines Unleashed! read more

I had no issues with this day care, they were great up until recently. I took my dog in (it was raining) and when I picked him up he smelled terribly, he smelled like urine badly. His collar, leash and harness all smelled terrible. When he was brought out to us, they knew that there was something wrong, but they did not tell us anything. When he got in the car he was shaking and felt extremely uncomfortable, our dog is very friendly and has never had this issue before. When I called they told me that they couldn't give him a bath, that it couldn't be taken care of. They had every opportunity to make it right, but they chose not too. I understand that it was raining and it's hard to control animals, but I am a small business owner and always strive to make things right. They never called me and offered a bath, they never called me and told me he smells like urine and offered for me to give me a heads up so I could bathe him, not one thing. Not only was I charged for the day, but I had to get him a new collar, leash, harness and find a place to get him bathed. This is absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I used to live in Florida where it rained all the time, his old day care never allowed this to happen and if they did they would have taken care of it or at least been upfront with me. I will never send my dog here again, a simple heads up or them making it right would have solved an issue. I love to support small businesses, but I can't support this one. read more

This place is incredible!!!!! I have been sending my dog to daycare for the past 3 years and Canines Unleashed is the absolute best by far! I have only been using them for two weeks, and my usually very nervous dog is already excited to go everyday and clearly loves all of the staff (this is extremely rare for her). The facility is clean and beautiful. On top of that, the staff are all extremely sweet and unbelievably accommodating. I do not know what I would do without them. I honestly never write reviews but this place knocks it out of the park! read more
