How to Get Free Dog Boarding for Your Pup

Want to get your pup a free night of dog boarding in San Diego? At Maria's PetBNB, there are two ways to earn one: refer a friend who completes their first booking, or book 14 nights directly and get your 15th night free through PawPerks.

These are earned rewards for our clients, so you don't need to hunt for a coupon code. Here's how each option works and how to put your next free night toward your pup's stay.

Refer a friend and earn a free night

Know someone looking for a place for their dog to stay? Share Maria's PetBNB with them. When your referred friend completes their first booking with us, you earn a complimentary night.

The reward goes to you, the referring client. Your friend's completed first booking is what earns it; sharing a link or sending an inquiry alone doesn't qualify.

To get started, share our booking page and let Maria know who you're referring. Before your friend books, confirm how Maria should record the referral so it can be matched to you. Once their first stay is complete, check with Maria about using your free night.

Book 14 nights directly and get the 15th free

If your pup already stays with us, PawPerks gives those return visits something extra. Our loyalty program rewards 14 direct boarding nights with a free 15th night.

Here's how to start tracking your nights:

1. Open the PawPerks rewards page.
2. Scan the QR code or follow the wallet link to add your digital rewards card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
3. Book your stays directly with Maria's PetBNB. Bookings through other apps don't earn PawPerks rewards.
4. Check your progress on your wallet card. After you reach the reward, your free night is automatically applied to your next booking with us.

Already a returning client? Ask Maria to confirm your night balance before planning a stay around the reward.

Which way should you use?

Referrals fit clients who know another dog parent looking for care. You earn a night when that friend's first booking is complete, without needing to reach the 14-night loyalty milestone first.

PawPerks fits clients who return for boarding. Keep booking directly and track your nights in your phone's wallet.

You can ask about both programs, but confirm with Maria whether rewards can be combined on the same reservation. Our published reward details don't specify stacking rules, expiration dates, holiday restrictions, or how multiple dogs affect the night count. Check those details before relying on a particular redemption.

Plan your pup's free night

A free night should make a stay you're already happy with a little sweeter. If your dog is new to Maria's PetBNB, start by discussing their routine and whether our home boarding is a good fit.

When you're ready to use a reward, send Maria your preferred dates and confirm your available credit. Ask for the booking total so you know what remains payable for any additional nights or services.

Ready to start earning? Add your PawPerks card, or request your pup's next stay and let Maria know about a friend you'd like to refer.
