Getting ready to leave town comes with enough errands. If getting your dog to us adds another trip to a busy day, ask about Pet Uber—our local pickup and drop-off arrangements for dogs boarding with Maria's PetBNB.

We can discuss a ride to our boarding home, a ride home after the stay, or both. Pet Uber is part of arranging your dog's stay with us in the San Diego area. It isn't a nationwide pet-shipping or long-distance relocation service.

A ride at the start, the end, or both

You might have drop-off covered but need help getting your pup home when you return. Or you might want to arrange both legs of the stay with us.

  • One-way: Request pickup for the start of boarding or drop-off at home after the stay. Let us know which direction you need.
  • Round-trip: Request pickup before the stay and the return trip afterward.

Pet Uber is available with direct bookings. You can see the current one-way and round-trip prices on our rates page. Share your address and timing with us so we can confirm the arrangements for your booking.

How to request Pet Uber

When you request your dog's boarding stay, select the one-way or round-trip Pet Uber option in the booking form.

Let us know where your dog needs to be picked up or dropped off, your preferred timing, and who will be there for the handoff. For a one-way request, specify whether you need the trip to us or the trip home.

Selecting the option tells us what you need. Confirm the address, availability, handoff time, and cost with Maria before making your travel plans around the ride.

Have your pup's boarding bag ready

Pickup is also the start of your dog's stay, so have their food, written care notes, and any agreed supplies ready to travel with them. Tell us about building access, parking instructions, or anything else we need to know to reach the person handing over your dog.

If someone else will meet us, share their name and contact details in advance. That applies to the return trip, too: agree on who will receive your pup and how we'll reach them.

Our first-stay preparation guide can help you get the boarding details together before pickup day.

If your plans change, let us know

A delayed flight or a change of address can affect the return handoff. Contact Maria as soon as you know something has changed so we can discuss a revised arrangement. Confirm any timing or cost changes before assuming the original plan still works.

The goal is simple: make getting your dog to and from their stay easier to organize. If you'd like help with either trip, send us your boarding dates and choose Pet Uber when you request the stay.
