Our mission is to provide quality care of our animal clients in ever evolving ways with fun as a focus, so that our human clients can socialize and invest in the local economy with peace of mind that their furry friend is having just as much fun around the corner. 

This business is founded on the ethos of treating dogs like royalty. This means we act in the animal’s best interest at all times. Integrity and affection are key to providing the level of care needed to gain customer respect and a following. Integrity will bring us the people, affection will bring us the dogs. Integrity shall be promoted at all times to ensure top notch professionalism while affection leads to playfulness, allowing our employees an opportunity to connect with the animals.

The vision for Park Your Pup is to become a neighborhood staple that complements nightlife with a safe, clean, exciting place to treat our dogs while people begin to socialize again. 

Park Your Pup is a mobile first dog boarding service, with a particular focus to provide convenient pay-by-the-hour care while you eat, shop, work, play, etc knowing your pet is in good hands!

Led by Andrew Gwynn and his loyal canine partner Sherlock, is a premium dog-boarding service in San Diego, designed exclusively for social, well-mannered dogs and their owners.

Dogs accepted into our care must be socialized and comfortable around Sherlock, ensuring a safe, cohesive, and enjoyable experience for all animals involved.
