About

Feels Like Home: Dog Care on Railroad Avenue in Santee is a cage-free daycare, boarding, and training operation run by certified dog trainers who are both United States Navy veterans. The property connects an indoor living space to a fenced outdoor yard, and pre-admission temperament screenings are conducted by a veterinarian at Santee Pet Hospital on Carlton Hills Boulevard before any dog joins the resident pack. Positive-reinforcement training modules address leash reactivity, recall, and impulse control during daycare rotations, with separate sessions available for puppies under six months. A military and veteran discount applies to every booking, and all dogs must be current on vaccinations and spayed or neutered before overnight stays. The facility's structured socialization model mirrors the managed group-play format at San Diego Dog Vacay, though the home-based layout caps daily enrollment to maintain a handler-to-dog ratio no greater than 1:6.
