Deb's Dog Days

Deb's Dog Days is a family-owned dog boarding kennel in Sun City, CA, offering overnight care for dogs while their owners travel. The kennel sits at 28481 Calle De Remo and also serves the surrounding Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula and Riverside areas. Both traditional kennel boarding and cage-free boarding are available.

What a stay looks like

Dogs sleep in over-sized, temperature-controlled enclosed kennels with cozy bedding and soft, relaxing music. Days are more active. Every dog gets time in private outdoor exercise yards at least three times a day, and staff make room for one-on-one attention and treats. That kind of routine tends to help a nervous dog settle into an unfamiliar place.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in climate-controlled kennels, traditional or cage-free
• Private outdoor exercise yards with play at least three times daily
• Grain-free Blue Buffalo food available, or owners can bring their own
• Medication given on the owner's schedule and special diets followed
• Multiple-dog discounts when dogs are boarded together

Food, medication and multiple dogs

Owners can pack their dog's usual food, or the kennel can feed grain-free Blue Buffalo instead. Dogs that need medication administered or a special diet kept up can be accommodated. Households with more than one dog get a discount when the dogs stay together.

Booking and practical details

Reservations are handled by phone at 951-230-5168 rather than through an online form. Published nightly rates run $50 to $55. Vaccinations are required. Facility tours are offered by appointment, which is a reasonable step before a first stay so an owner can see the kennels and meet the family running them.
