Founded in 1976, Holiday Pet Hotel on Union Street in Encinitas is the oldest continuously operating pet boarding facility in North County, providing dog boarding, cat boarding, exotic pet boarding, doggie daycare, and grooming from a large indoor-outdoor complex. The facility features private indoor-outdoor rooms for canine guests and luxury cat condos in a separate section, with departure grooming handled on site or coordinated with independent groomers such as The Grateful Dog Grooming Shop for breed-specific styling. Holiday Pet Hotel accepts guinea pigs, birds, and other exotic species alongside dogs and cats, expanding the boarding roster beyond the typical canine-and-feline-only model used by most North County competitors. The K-9 Camp daycare program groups dogs by size and temperament across multiple supervised play areas, and owners in the Union Street corridor often exercise their dogs before and after daycare sessions at the nearby Encinitas Dog Park on Vulcan Avenue. Veterinary oversight covers the facility's medication-dispensing and health-monitoring protocols, with multi-pet household rate reductions applied when animals from the same family board simultaneously.
