    My dog Dingo
    Tanya C.

    I cant say enough great things about dogspot!! Carlene ( owner) will help you figure what your pup needs! She and her great staff have been wonderful with socializing Dingo! More recently i have had Tim training him ... he's so good with the dogs!! My Dingo is still big and strong:) but he listens to me now and responds as he should-- thanks to Tim! And everyone at dogspot!

    My pup loves playing at the DogSpot! It's great he gets to interact with lots of dogs. All the dog watchers are super attentive and friendly. They also have the best groomer!!

    Staff at DogSpot is wonderful! My dog Poppy literally pulls me through the front door. Adrienne, Gabs & Kayla are very friendly and helpful. In the yard, does a flying leap into Tim's waiting arms! It's adorable. We've done of daycare and boarding there this past year. Happily recommend DogSpot!

    Dog bite from dogspot
    Diana H.

    If you want big vet bills, be sure to send your dog to dogspot. The place is being run by 20 year olds who didn't notice how aggressive another dog was being toward my dog. I sent my dog to daycare thinking it was safer than the park but not so much! I had to discover the bite on my own, they didn't tell me about it. Then after I reached out, I was told the owner, Carlene, was going to contact me but she never did! I had to reach out a week later to find out what they found when they watched the camera footage. Carlene STILL didn't reach out to me. Nor had she ever apologized and that dog, who bit my dog, still goes to daycare. They tried to down play it of course. To make matters worse, my dog brought Giardia home with him and he was asymptomatic for 2 weeks so all of my dogs then had it. It's been a nightmare. When I told Carlene I wanted a refund for my package, she wrote me a long winded email about how the Giardia came from somewhere else (my dog doesn't go anywhere but dogspot) and never even addressed the dog bite. Then my refund was $34 even though I had multiple days left, but because she's arrogant, she thought it was the smart idea to refund me as if I were paying by the day. I'm currently $2000 deep in vet bills between the bite and parasites that now all 3 of my dogs have.

    I cannot express enough how grateful we are for DogSpot here in Oceanside. The staff is so incredible, we have been taking our Sophie here for the last year or so. They take the best care of her and it's literally her favorite place to be! I can't imagine what we would do in our busy lives if we didn't have them. Oh and they are so fair priced. Thank you for making us always feel at ease when leaving our "child" in your care. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for short term and long term boarding and daycare!

    MugZ loved it here!!' I highly recommend this fun dog "spot".

    Nachoooooooo!

    The staff are so friendly and helpful! They make drop off and pickup a breeze. Bonus is s you can watch your dog play online through the live cameras. My dog loves his play days at Dog Spot!!

    We have been taking our German Shepard, Nala, here since 2022 and she loves it. We always choose to board her here and it tires her out! The staff is always nice and pleasant.

    I am a captain for a major airline and my normal route regularly takes me to Japan. For me, sleep is essential to safely do my job. On my layovers I watch how well my puppy is cared for on their multiple camera system and this lets me sleep worry free. She is always excited when we get to the parking lot, which clearly indicates how well she is treated. But I watch it myself through the cameras. ALL their employees, and I mean ALL OF THEM, are clearly dog people. They constantly give tons of attention, individually, to all of the dogs. It's really a special, worry free place to bring your dog when you can't be with them. 10 stars!

    Happy is her name and she makes me happy.

    See all

    My review is based on camp and boarding w/camp…read more We were searching for the right doggy day-camp, so called a few places. I was told there's an evaluation process (which was expected since I had to do this with other potential facilities), and Josh helped answer all my questions! He explained everything clearly and even sent me photos and video of my pup to let me know how he was doing (he settled in nicely and was doing well)! There isn't a time limit for the evaluation, so I kept my pup there all day to let him have the full experience. I've since bought the punchcard which has two options. 10 daycamps for $400 or 20 for $700. We dropped our dog off a few times over summer for day camp, and almost a handful of times we were called just a couple hours after drop off because they had to bring the dogs in due to the heat. We were still charged a full day of camp. I get the full day charge if we leave our dog there all day, but it would've been great if they worked with us to charge half days (prorate it), or give a few extra comp days to compensate if we pick him up right away (which is almost always before 12). One time they noticed he rolled in his own pee while in the kennel, so they offered to give him a complimentary bath which I appreciated! Now onto my boarding experience. First and foremost, the rate for boarding is: $63. The rate for boarding with camp is $87. I signed up for boarding with camp, and asked a few times on different occasions about the charges for boarding with camp (ie. what's the cutoff time that I need to pick him up by, etc) - and was told 12pm. I asked if there was flexibility to pick him up before 3 since I indicated in the application - but the price listed is per day - so if you want your pup to have camp on the day of pickup, that's an extra fee. Multiple people told me in person and over the phone that I "should be ok" because I put it on my application - so I didn't think I'd be charged extra. So watch out for this and your pickup times if you decide to board here. They won't honor what you were told over the phone, and will only reference the contract. Also, if you sign up for boarding with camp, you are billed separately for each of the services, which creates some confusion but the math adds upcorrectly. Our dog ended up with conjunctivitis after his second boarding stay, so we were hit with an unexpected vet bill on top of that. Overall, the hours are convenient and I'm glad we found the right place for our dog, but the customer service / communication aspect for boarding needs improvement. Shoutout to Josh for all you do! It's your service and TLC you give our pup that keeps us coming back.

Communication was top notch. On top of that, I don't board my dog often because he can be quite nervous around new people and new dogs. However, they were so reassuring the entire time. They sent me an update and a photo in the middle of the day to settle my nerves. When I went to pick him up, he was resting so comfortably next to them. The next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be using their services again! Thank you Staycation for Dogs!
