PoshPaws at 826 Orange Avenue is Coronado's only boarding service in 92118 — a cage-free, home-based operation handling overnight stays, extended deployments, dog walking, and pet transportation across the island. For traditional kennel boarding, the closest options are in Point Loma and Ocean Beach across the bridge.
PoshPaws at 826 Orange Avenue is Coronado's only dedicated pet boarding service in 92118. Run by Laura, PoshPaws operates as a cage-free, home-based boarding and pet-sitting operation rather than a traditional kennel — dogs stay in a home environment with daily walks, playtime, and personalized attention. The service also covers dog walking, pet transportation, and in-home sitting where Laura stays overnight at the owner's residence instead.
PoshPaws handles extended stays for military families during deployments and TDY assignments, and specializes in dogs with complex medication schedules, senior pets with mobility needs, and animals with separation anxiety from multiple relocations. Owners receive daily photo and video updates throughout every boarding stay.
Dog boarding rates on Coronado reflect the premium, in-home nature of the service rather than standard kennel pricing. PoshPaws's cage-free overnight boarding runs higher than the $35–$55 per night typical at San Diego area kennels, consistent with the personalized care, home environment, and one-on-one attention included in each stay.
For price-sensitive pet owners, Point Loma offers kennel-style boarding alternatives including Camp Run-A-Mutt and Camp Bow Wow, both of which provide daycare-plus-boarding at rates closer to the mainstream San Diego average. Ocean Beach also has several boarding and pet-sitting options. The trade-off is crossing the Coronado Bridge for drop-off and pickup, which adds 20–30 minutes of round-trip driving to each end of the stay.
Yes. PoshPaws is specifically a cage-free operation — dogs sleep in the home, not in crates or kennel runs, and have access to living spaces and outdoor areas throughout their stay. This format works particularly well for dogs that are crate-averse, anxious in kennel environments, or accustomed to sleeping on furniture.
The cage-free model means PoshPaws limits the number of dogs boarded at any one time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. Booking during peak travel periods — holiday weekends, school breaks, and summer — requires advance notice, sometimes two to three weeks out. Military families expecting deployment orders should book as early as possible, since extended stays during high-demand periods lock up capacity.
For owners who prefer a more structured kennel environment or need boarding for multiple large dogs simultaneously, Point Loma's daycare and boarding facilities offer group play, individual runs, and supervised socialization in purpose-built spaces.
