COMMUNITY Spotlight: Dexter’s Deli
How a “Pet Of The Month” Program turned into a decades-long partnership. Dogs On The Run® thanks Dexter’s Deli for their support and the community we built over the years.
Service Spotlight: Vacation Care
When searching for trusted vacation care for your dog in San Diego or North County, Pet Parents want more than availability. They want reliable, professional care that keeps their dog safe, comfortable, and consistent with their daily routine.
Dogs On The Run offers personalized dog boarding, overnight care, and in-home pet sitting designed as a thoughtful alternative to traditional kennels and high-volume daycare facilities.
Dog adventures
Doggie adventures are more than just a fun outing, they are an essential part of a dog’s physical and mental well being. At Dogs On The Run, every adventure is designed with purpose, giving dogs the opportunity to explore new environments, build confidence, and burn energy in a safe and structured way.
Concierge Moment of the Month
At Dogs On The Run, our goal is always to provide not just great care, but true peace of mind for our pet parents. This month, we’re sharing a real moment that highlights exactly what that looks like.
During a routine walk, one of our professionals was walking two dogs who were familiar with each other. In a matter of seconds, an unexpected incident occurred and one dog bit the other.
Situations like this are every pet parent’s concern and every caregiver’s worst fear. But what happened next is what truly sets Dogs On The Run apart.

An Afternoon of Celebration: Carlsbad Chamber’s Red, White & Bold Awards
There are moments in business that invite you to pause, not to measure success by wins alone, but to appreciate the community that makes the journey so meaningful. The Red, White & Bold Awards, hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, was one of those moments.
This year, we had the honor of being nominated for the Community Impact Award. While we did not take home the title, we left the afternon with something far more lasting: a deep sense of pride, inspiration, and connection.
