Hey Clairemont, Jamaica is right in your backyard!

On September 19th, 2011, the Greater Clairemont Chamber of Commerce welcomed Mama Jamaica Café and Grill, 5447 Kearney Villa Road, to the growing family of Clairemont small businesses.  This is San Diego’s newest Caribbean-American restaurant, specializing in “Jerk” and Curry dishes.   Owners the Raynors have been in the restaurant business for over twelve years and want to create a destination, rather than just a place to eat out.

Don’t Send Your Pet to Jail When You Travel!

People who travel are often in a quandary over how to best care for their pets while they are away. Kennels saddled with a multitude of pets can meet their everyday needs, but often fall short in caring for your pets emotionally. Why should your pet go to jail when you go on vacation?

There’s another way: Paws`N Play Pet Camp. Paws’N Play uses a caring network of certified "host families" to care for pets whose families are away temporarily. Pet safety is a top priority with mandatory secure homes and continuous supervision, but beyond that, pets receive extraordinary attention in safe, loving, pet friendly homes. Paws 'N Play Pet Camp is a member of Pet Sitters International and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. Meet our “Host Families” at www.pawsnplay-pet-camp.com.

NOTE: Pet care is a growing industry in America. The demand is so strong that we're looking for additional host families in the Clairemont area willing to deliver our high standard of service.  Host families receive 50% of fees collected.
