Dog Boarding in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley, CA

“Our dog is a senior dog with mobility issues and Jennifer was a patient and experienced host. We felt comfortable knowing she was caring for our senior. We received updates throughout Harley's stay and communication was superb. I highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely reach out to her first. Her patience, experience, and kindness is a one-of-a-kind. Thanks Jennifer and Fam!”

“Denise is great! She even threw a birthday party for our dog while we were away. Their house is within walking distance to the beach and she took him on long walks - you can’t beat that! Definitely using her again.”

“Jenna and her family took excellent care of Mojo and sent updates as to how he was doing. Their two dogs were playful with Mojo and everyone got along. Jenna’s daughter greeted me as I picked Mojo up from their house and shared how much they enjoyed Mijo being with them and I could tell from her sweet and sincere expressions that they enjoyed him and he enjoyed them; no anxiety in his part or mine. Would use again when back in the area and have need.”

“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”

“Socha obviously had a great time playing with her new friends. She came home so relaxed, she fell asleep on the sofa within 15 minutes of getting home. That is not her usual m.o. She didn't demand attention or "cling" to me. Michelle and Nish took great care of Socha, and I very much appreciate the daily updates and videos Michelle sent. My husband and I especially loved seeing Socha play with their dogs. The fact that she ate every meal is proof to us Socha was comfortable and well cared for in Michelle's home. We will definitely enlist her services again.”

“Mateo and his family took such good care of my Daisy for almost a week in their lovely, quiet home in the hills. I got a picture or a video (or both!) every day, with a little reassuring note that was much appreciated!”

“Was planning to go Florida with my wife and leave our little pup Thor with Wendy but some other things came up and we had to cancel last minute. Wendy was super great and professional and was kind enough to refund me for the days we had scheduled. We could tell our little Thor had fun his two days there because he didn’t want to leave. We will definitely”

“Tracey takes such good care of our girl Ruby. Ruby is always happy to see Tracey when we drop her off and she is always happy and relaxed when she comes home which tells me she is comfortable with Tracey and had a good time. Ruby has daily walks and play time outside and inside too. Tracey sends regular updates/photos and we received a video on this trip as well. I never worry about Ruby when she is with Tracey. Tracey is the absolute best and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional dog sitter to care for your pets.”

Debra D.

“Bomby took an excellent care of Teddy, she kept me updated throughout the day and I had peace of mind being away from my dog knowing he’s in good hands.Thanks again Bomby for your help!”

“Great visit! Norelvis was always responsive, kept us updated with photos and comments about how Caesar was doing throughout his stay. Nice, large space for the dogs to hang out and play. Caesar definitely had a relaxing time”

“Sofia is so sweet! We felt immediately at ease and we knew our dog would love her stay! I highly recommend her to watch over your pets! Thank you again!”

Selena H.

“Sophia was amazing! We were very nervous about leaving our Frenchie with a stranger - it's been several years since we left him overnight with anyone, let alone 6 nights. But Drax loved her and her family! We received updates multiple times per day, including a few music videos of him walking, playing, and getting massages 😁 He was very well taken care of. We definitely recommend Sophia and would book with her again in a second!”

Tristen R.

“Casper had a wonderful time during the stay! Jennifer sent photos and kept us updated. It's comforting to know that our fur baby is being taken good care of. Highly recommended”

Y W.

“Shannon was a great dog sitter. She had a bed ready for Nessie and made sure she had every comfort. She also sent regular updates and photos for us. We're certain Nessie had a wonderful stay!”

Gene M.

“Jen did an awesome job taking care of Taco. Taco is my problem child yet Jen knew how to handle it. She sent pictures and kept me updated. I highly recommend Jen. Thank you. Jen!”

“Jeremy and his lovely wife were great! I will definitely use them again. I left my 2 dogs with them over the weekend… from my initial interaction with them to pick up on Sunday night I felt comfortable leaving my girls with them! One of my dogs is about 30 lbs, the other is 100 lbs. The big dog is extremely attached to me (and yes… spoiled) and has never been left with anyone we don’t know. She can have a mind of her own, becoming a challenge at times. I was a little nervous about how she would act, but they said she was fine and got along great with their pug! They sent pictures of their adventures which was great! They live near some nice walking trails so I’m sure the dogs really enjoyed their walks. I would highly recommend Jeremy and his wife!!!”

Shelly Y.

“Pissamas was great. She was very responsive and was amazing in sending pictures and videos of Koa often. I’m sure Koa had a great time boarding at her house.”

Simon Y.

“As always, Maverick had a wonderful time! Mike, Patti & Scout have been such gracious hosts. Maverick is always sad to leave his new friends! Mike and Patti are easy to communicate with and have a wonderful home for Maverick to play in. He couldn't be left in better hands! :)”

About: Throughout high school I offered dog walking and sitting for neighbors and family friends. Once I graduated, I was hired to start working with Police K9s. I have spent the last few years training apprehension, detection, tracking, etc. with several government agencies. Around the same time, I started offering training and boarding for pet dogs, and have been successfully running that business for the past few years. My love for dogs has only grown since. I have found a passion for providing high quality care to dogs in my care. Dog boarding and training is my career, so I have built my schedule and life around providing the best care for each pup at my house! I have a few in person training clients and police department K9s I train with weekly, but outside of that I am home caring for dogs! While I am out of the house doing dog training or running errands, dogs nap in crates! Safety is my top priority, and fun a close second. I run a structured boarding business focused on providing a fun, mentally and physically enriching stay for your dog. I live on a 1+ acre, fully fenced property and utilize the use of high quality crates and tethers for dogs to help everyone successfully co-exist. With the large space, dogs are able to properly communicate and explore - eliminating the feeling of being stressed and cramped which often results in altercations between dogs. I have extensive experience reading body language between dogs and can pair or separate dogs based on several factors - confidence, size, play style, etc.
