Dog Boarding Aetna Springs

“I’m reluctant to give the great review Casey deserves, because I want to save her for myself! Casey is everything a dog wants. Walks twice a day, a calm demeanor, experience handling dogs who are fussy, a willingness to treat basic medical issues, including taking your dog to the vet ER, and not feel put upon to do it. The reason that we love Casey, however, is that she treats our dog as we do- lots of hugs and hanging out in the garden with a cold drink. Nothing special, but our dog is treated like our child, and Casey steps in as a beloved aunt. I never worry if my dog is unhappy with us leaving her when Casey is caring for her. That’s a real gift to our dog, and especially to us.”

“Brandi is amazing at what she does and I couldn't recommend her more! It's clear that her house is a home away from home for all the dogs that stay with her. She sent pictures and videos every day throughout our dog's stay and was always available for any questions we had. Thank you Brandi!”

“Siarra is the most kind and caring dog friendly person I have met! She keeps me informed with quick updates and photos. I never have to worry about how my pup is because I am in the loop. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so! Highly recommend!!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Julie and her family! My cat Dusya and dog Yeti stayed with them for three nights, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we met, Julie was warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that both of my pets were happy, comfortable, and loved. Dusya looked relaxed and content (which says a lot for a cat in a new place!), and Yeti had the best time playing and getting plenty of attention. When I picked them up, they were calm, well cared for, and clearly had a great mini-vacation of their own. I’m beyond grateful to Julie and her family for treating my pets like part of theirs. Highly recommend - I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Stacie and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Ginger and gave her so much love and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and happy with them. Stacie was always quick to respond and sent photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

“Arianna took care of our senior pug. She was very kind to him and considerate of his needs (for example not walking in the heat). She provided a lot of updates and photos as well. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Cymantha is a love. She understands dogs and communicated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and happy. We have already booked her for another stay!”

“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”

“This has been our dog's second stay with Amber and Michael, and they have been fantastic! Amber keeps us informed with updates and pictures so that we can feel relaxed and confident that our dog is being well cared for. I would highly recommend them!”

About: I am home all day with my little pup and she would love a playmate and a sniffing buddy on her walks. We enjoy the local dog parks and never repeat the same walks twice in a row. She is very good about sharing her toys. I have always had large dogs so I’m quite comfortable with them as well. My yard is only partially bounded with hedges. So all potty breaks are accomplished with walks on leash. Or at either of the 2 off leash fenced dog parks here. I have experience giving oral medication with or without food as prescribed. And I only give bones under constant supervision on chew mat. It will be taken away at the end of the chew session. I am home all day with my pup and would like to care for dogs that we can fold into our routine of 3 walks a day. We hit the dog parks at least twice a day. I can only work with socialized dogs who behave and walk well on a leash. For overnight stays, they must be able to sleep on their own bed/crate. All my furniture is slipcovered so dogs are welcome to nap on the couch if they want. The whole house is hardwood floors and no stairs inside. I normally feed my dog 3 times a day and do not leave food out all day - just water is available all day. Treats are only used during training sessions or as rewards for doing something - a trick, a bath … etc

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer morning and evening and weekend drop-in visits.

“Dusty always comes home happy and tired from playing with his pals. He gets so excited when I load in the truck because he knows where he is going.”

“Laura is an angel! I would highly recommend her to everyone!! She went way above and beyond to help my family. We live in Oregon and she helped us rescue a puppy in a shelter. She picked her up for me, watched her during the day until the rescue pet bus was ready for her. I seriously don't know what I would have done without her help. We love this little nugget so much and it's only been three days.”

Traci S.

“Carl was great and Lucy seemed really happy at pick up. I got pictures and updates which was great because she was there for almost 2 weeks and we missed her a lot. We will definitely use Carl again when out of town. Thank you Carl!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it's going on walks, playing, exploring outdoors, or simply keeping them company. As an occupational therapist, I have a naturally patient, attentive, and caring personality. I'm comfortable adapting to different needs, respecting individual routines, and providing gentle, attentive care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Your furry family member's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my priority! I would love to make your dog's day a little brighter with walks, playtime, and lots of affection! I maintain a consistent weekly routine, which allows me to plan my time and provide reliable, attentive pet care. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active, so incorporating dog walking and playtime into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to. I'm happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting schedules in advance to make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I value being dependable and respecting each pet's individual routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to understand each pet's personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. I also respect the owner's home and keep everything clean and organized. I understand that being away from family can be an adjustment for pets, so I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away!

“Mariaelena was amazing! She accepted our last-minute booking and took such great care of our dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and they looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. We could tell they were in great hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”

Mariana S.

“Tiffany was great! She was very professional, and her experience was evident throughout the entire process, from the first message to final pickup. She also sent us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was fifteen, but I have had different animals all throughout my life. From birds, to cats, and dogs of all sizes I have had a lot of personal experience. Some of my duties included feeding, walking, bathing, grooming (for personal pets), and attention to medical needs. I have a big heart for pets and wish to give them care and support as they do us! I don’t currently have any pets, but I do tend to dog sit for my aunt. I currently work as a caregiver and for an after school program for youth. On my days off, I would love to help with pets. As stated above I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but for my aunt’s dog I take him on walks, feed him, keep him hydrated (especially with summer bringing in heat), there’s always play time and he gets a bath before he goes back home. I am very open to all needs of both the pet and the owner.
