Fon Jon Pet Care Center

Aug 2024

After a few months of consistent daycare and a boarding stay, I can confidently say I would recommend Fon Jon to anyone and everyone who needs a place for their furry friends to have some fun. My dogs are always, always happy when we arrive even a block away and are happy as a clam during pick ups too. Being a helicopter mom with rescues, I tried four different highly recommended facilities here in San Diego as well (gotta see them all to find that perfect fit!!) and my dogs truly made the decision for me. I was worried because this is an indoor and outdoor kennel facility and being rescues, you never know how they will respond being back in a place like that but you can tell right away it's nowhere near the same type of an environment & the staff really does care and I see it every single time I'm there! Anthony, Ed, George and Minah are always so loving with every furry friend that comes through and so are the rest of the staff when I see them for pick ups! Being such a high volume facility for a small local business, I just ADORE that they make each dog feel loved and cared for and like a true VIP! That makes the BIGGEST difference (to me). I do advise everyone to shop around and make sure you are exploring all your options because everyone's going to have specific wants and every place really does have something unique to offer, but I can truly see why Fon Jon has been a staple for SO LONG in the industry and San Diego!!!! PROS * Pricing is great for the area & compared to other facilities I visited (especially since they offer a wider variety of play packages - boarding and daycare is a luxury of course so finding reasonable pricing is a push and shove) * They have options for one of my dogs who is not dog friendly so he still gets play time (I've heard his human best friend is Andrea) * Staff is always friendly and inviting * They supply almost everything for boarding so it eases my load (even dog food if needed) * They are VERY thorough with the check in process (sometimes a con if I'm in a rush but overall very important to me personally haha) * Offers cat daycare and boarding too!! * Kind of a 2 in 1 if you need training since they offer training services too - haven't used these yet but have heard good things * I can get basic grooming done here if needed so it's a one stop shop CONS * Wish they had a live cam but Staff had very understandable and reasonable explanations for not having so * LOTS of paperwork and less digital filing or portals but I'm ok with that (haven't had any issues so far) and appreciate the thoroughness more often than not * Not as modern as other places but aesthetics are the least of my concerns if my dogs are happy * Parking... but only bad if you come during peak pick up/drop off times * Really want more activity on social media!! ): OVERALL : 9.5/10 Thank you For Jon!!

I have had trouble finding boarding for my Malinois in the past but not anymore! I've used this facility for private boarding, group play boarding & day care for months and have no complaints. All of the staff go above and beyond to ensure both my dog and I have a good experience. My Malinois is shy and they took the time to get to know her and get her out of her shell. She loves going here! Got a tour of their facility and it is very clean and well kept. Prices are very reasonable. Thank you Fon Jon for taking care of my girl!

I am a bomb dog handler and have now boarded 2 of my certified Explosives Detection K9s here. Because the dogs are my work partners, it's especially hard to trust their care to anyone, however I have had great experiences here. The manager Anthony is fantastic and in an age where customer service seems almond non-existent, he is a great example of how to run a business. I am so grateful to have found Fon Jon when I'm visiting the area and need a safe place for my dogs overnight. When I pick up my dogs, they seem relaxed and happy.
