Dog Boarding Acorn

“Our furs are 8 yrs old and have only been overnight with family. Finding Rover and Karrie S has been a blessing we have been wishing for. I knew immediately at our meet and greet that Karrie was for us. Her ultimate care and love and knowledge of dogs was so calming. We know when the furs are with her in her home, we can enjoy ourselves without worry. Side note, we love interacting with Karrie on the human level and consider her a friend.”

About: Hi my name is Colleen! I have been around and loved animals my whole life. I offer full-time care and live on Vandenberg SFB. For the past three years, I managed a veterinary practice. Because of this background, I am very familiar with the diverse medical and behavioral needs of dogs, cats, and horses. I am a huge dog and cat lover - at home, I have a German Shepherd and a Goldendoodle who get daily walks and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home full-time, any animal in my care will receive constant attention and supervision. I am also a very active person, so you can count on your pets getting plenty of playtime and exercise. My home is completely child-free, and visiting pets are absolutely allowed on the furniture to make them feel right at home. Additionally, I live on the military base, making it easy and convenient for me to accommodate both on-base and off-base families. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or have specialized medical needs, they will be safe, active, and loved here! Animal care is a central part of my life! I work a flexible remote schedule that allows me to be fully available for full-time care. My weekends are available and open, meaning I can dedicate plenty of quality time, structured play, and consistent attention to boarding or housesitting your pets, no matter the day of the week 🐾❤️ With a professional background in veterinary medicine and animal handling, safety is always my top priority ❤️ My home features a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play. I’m highly experienced in reading animal behavior, maintaining clean and secure environments, administering medications if needed, and keeping a watchful eye to ensure your pet is happy and relaxed.

“Robert is an excellent dog sitter. He accommodated a last minute booking and our dog had a blast with his dog. He sent pictures and we appreciated all the communication.”

“Kyle and Sara took such good care of our boy!! We received daily updates and pictures of his activities while we were gone. We are so thankful we have someone to leave him with when we travel that treats him so well!”

Christina S.

“Monique did a fantastic job in watching our doggo for a few days! Always kept us updated with pictures and how the dog was doing. She was also very responsive to questions and allowing us to pick our dog up a day early. Thank you Monique!”

Kobe K.

“Stephanie is outstanding in caring for my dogs. They go for walks, car rides and are loved and cared for. In fact the dogs (which had not seen Stephanie in months) ran up to the house when we delivered them. We are overwhelmingly pleased with her services.”

“Where do I even begin?! First off 5 stars is NOT even enough to say how amazing Krystal was with my Furbaby. Krystal was absolutely lovely and communicated well. I haven’t used Rover in over ten years and I was very nervous about leaving my dog with anyone I didn’t know. I had a short time frame to find someone which also added to my stress and worry. However, once I met Krystal I felt that my dog would be just fine. It was almost like her and Krystal had met before because Krystal and her family made Cleo feel right at home. They were patient, kind, caring, attentive and all around a great family. I would leave my dog with Krystal again any day. She sent pictures and videos daily to ensure I knew how my dog was doing. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting!”

“Danielle does such a great job taking care of our emotionally and medically complex elderly dog. We’ll feel secure in knowing our dog is well cared for whenever she stays with Danielle.”

Simone H.

“We have used Marin twice and it was such a dreamy experience! I love that my dog gets to be with her family and the sweet children . Marin is super accommodating and communicative . I got pics of my sweet babes with updates, which really helped me to not worry about them while I was gone . Marin and her family really are so great ! I just can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found them to take care of my favorite beings .”

“Echo had another wonderful stay with Aty! I had zero worries while I was at a quarterly training out of town. Echo always has so much fun and he even got a bath before pickup. 10/10!”

About: I’m a pet parent to 3 cats and 1 dog, and over the years I’ve worked with multiple trainers to better understand animal behavior and communication. I’ve also volunteered at shelters, where I learned how to read body language, recognize stress signals, and support animals with patience and compassion. I love my own fur babies deeply, and I’ll care for yours with the same level of love, respect, and attention. If pricing is a concern, feel free to message me I’m always open to discussing options. Additionally, I am open to chickens, reptiles, and other pets. I work remotely, so I’m able to spend most of the day with your fur baby. For overnight stays, I may need a few short breaks during the day, and we can go over what works best for your pet during our meet‑and‑greet. I love being outdoors, and there’s no better company than a furry friend by my side. I’m available for walks and check‑ins Monday through Friday, as well as weekends and overnight stays. If you’d like to set up a meet‑and‑greet, feel free to message me. I make it a priority to communicate with you about your pet’s individual needs so every detail is understood and every comfort is met. I also take time to learn about any stresses, triggers, or special routines your fur baby may have. I usually recommend a meet‑and‑greet either in person or over Zoom to go over your pet’s daily schedule, since keeping their routine consistent helps reduce stress while you’re away. Every pet is unique, and this meeting allows us to cover everything thoroughly. The first meet‑and‑greet is free; any additional meetings may include a small fee. If you’d like to set one up, feel free to message me.

About: I am not just a pet sitter; I am a highly experienced caregiver who understands that every dog requires unique, specialized attention. Having raised and cared for my own four dogs for 25 years, I know exactly what it takes to keep a home safe, happy, and structured for multiple pets. I am fully confident and experienced in managing complex health conditions. I provide specialized care for diabetes (including strict schedules and insulin shots), seizure management, and gentle guidance for seniors experiencing Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD). From fragile 5-pound newborn puppies to independent 110-pound seniors, I understand the different handling, behavioral, and nutritional needs across all sizes and life stages. I am used to keeping up with a pack! I walked my four dogs every single day, meaning your pet will get the reliable exercise, outdoor time, and routine they thrive on. My community frequently relies on me to care for their pets because they know I treat every dog with the same level of vigilance and love as my own. I treat pet care as a core priority in my daily and weekly schedule. My routine is built around reliability and punctuality, which is crucial for pets on strict medical or feeding regimens. I dedicate my mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings entirely to pet visits, ensuring that diabetic checks, insulin shots, and senior care happen precisely on time. Because I am used to managing a busy multi-dog pack of my own, I am highly organized and adapt my weekly calendar to give your pets the consistent, dedicated time they deserve. I treat your pet exactly like a member of my own pack, offering a structured, safe, and loving environment. I follow your exact instructions down to the letter. If your diabetic pet needs breakfast and insulin at a precise hour, or if your senior cat needs specialized cognitive support at night, I am there right on time. Because of my extensive experience with seizures, diabetes, and other health issues, I am highly observant. I look out for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits, and I know exactly how to handle medical emergencies calmly. I keep up your pet's favorite neighborhood walking routes and playtime rituals, ensuring they get the mental stimulation and physical exercise they are used to.

“Andruw helped us tremendously when our initial rover cancelled the DAY before we left. He was super helpful and communicated with us very well! Would definitely recommend booking with Andruw, we will use his services again!”
