Our Story

A Team That Truly Loves Animals

At San Diego Pet Boarding, we start from a simple belief: pets are family. That means they deserve more than a place to wait — they deserve a place where they're truly known, cared for, and loved. From our kennel-free open spaces to our exclusive cat catio, every detail of our facility is built around what's best for the animals in our care.

Our team is led by Angel Villalobos, an animal professional with over 20 years of experience and owner of San Diego Pet Mobile Grooming, operating right on-site. Known for his remarkable ability to help animals feel safe and calm, Angel brings deep expertise and genuine passion to every interaction.

Alongside him, Jaami Waali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to four senior dogs — ensures every guest feels welcomed, understood, and completely at ease from the moment they arrive.
