Locally owned since 2016
We built the place we wished existed for our own dogs.
Pacific Paws started in 2016 with one rescue named Maple, a converted warehouse on Rosecrans Street, and a simple belief: dogs deserve more than a wire cage and a quick walk. Today we're Point Loma's home away from home for thousands of San Diego dogs.
Everything we do is built around two ideas — keep dogs safe, and keep them genuinely happy. That means cage-free suites, small temperament-matched play groups, certified handlers who stay in the room, and the kind of daily updates that let you actually relax while you're away.

What we stand for
Six promises we make to every dog and every family.
Cage-free, always
Real beds in private suites — never stacked kennels. Every dog gets room to stretch out and rest.
Eyes on, all day
Trained handlers stay inside the play groups, and our overnight team lives on-site every night.
Matched, not mixed
Dogs play in small groups sorted by size, age, and play style — so everyone has a good time.
You stay in the loop
Daily photo texts, report cards, and live webcams mean you never have to wonder.
Safety first
Fear-Free and Pet First Aid certified staff, vaccine verification, and a vet on call 24/7.
Rooted in Point Loma
Locally owned since 2016. We know the neighborhood, the trails, and your dog by name.
Meet the humans
Certified, dog-obsessed, and here every day.
