Dog Boarding In Barrio Santa Rosa

“Sheila and Dave were wonderful with my little dog. They welcomed her warmly and sent frequent photos and text updates. Sheila sets a high standard of care and I'm grateful that she had an opening when I needed to board my dog. Her home is ideally arranged for dog sitting with a nice, safe, fenced back yard, two well-adjusted little dogs of their own, and a comfortable, safe interior. My dog learned to use their pet door and was very comfortable in their care. I would have no hesitation leaving my small dog there again in the future.”

“Willie had a wonderful stay with this family and their lovely dog. Great care, fun walks, lots of attention and affection. He came home tired and happy. We had good communication before and during the stay. Would definitely have Willie stay here in the future and enjoy our time away knowing he’s in very good hands.”

“Awesome sauce ?! She was the warmest with our four legged friend and she was super tentative our girl. T was great to know we went on vacation for a special treat away, but so did our girl. Thanks Vicky!”

“This is our first time leaving our dog with strangers. We weren't sure what to expect. After the initial meeting, we felt more at ease. Richard and Jeanette did a fantastic job! They sent us pictures to reassure us, followed our instructions and gave our dog plenty of TLC. We would definitely use them again!!”

“Carina and her family were absolutely wonderful to Noah. We needed a last minute sitter for longterm care and she was quick in responding to us. We were hesitant at first as we never booked a sitter prior to this and Noah was adopted from PACC within the year so we couldn't provide 100% information about his character. Carina was very patient with him and took him on walks he had many cuddles with her family. She updated us frequently while we were out of the country and even offered to purchase his treats that we forgot to leave with her. We will 100% rebook with her the next time we are in need! Thank you Carina 😊”

“Ron is a truly wonderful dog sitter! I experience a lot of anxiety whenever I travel and have to be away from my little Echo. I felt tremendous relief after Ron sent me photos of Echo in his home and beautiful shaded and enclosed yard the morning after I dropped him off. He looked so happy and confident! I knew right then I had nothing to worry about. Ron took excellent care of Echo and sent me lots of updates and photos all throughout his 10-day stay. It was clear that Echo bonded with Ron and loved staying with him and his two pups, Canoli and Lily, because I had a hard time getting him to come back home with me! He refused to allow me to put on his leash and instead walked away and plopped himself right down on one of the dog beds at Ron's house! Echo didn’t want his vacation to end, either! I highly recommend Ron and will definitely book with him again!”

“Gail is a wonderful pup sitter! MacGyver enjoyed his time there playing with other dogs. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and we even fit in a short visit before our trip to make sure this was a good fit for all involved.”

Heather D.

“Marraya and her mother went above and beyond to accommodate our tiny but mighty chihuahuas for an entire weekend. They cared and loved our babies like if they were their own. Fur babies had to board at Marrayas house which was so clean and smelled so fresh. Abe and Zena do have special requirements and they were all fulfilled. Marraya was very commutative with updates and cute photos! She will be our go to sitter for any trips! 🙌🙏🙏”

“Dana is wonderful. One of my bag straps broke during drop off and she had repaired it for me when I came to pick my dog up. She also sent adorable photos and videos while watching my dog. So thankful I found her!”

Nicole B.

“I'm so grateful to Brandi for taking in my two rambunctious boys. She had some behavior issues she had to address while I was away but handled it like a professional with her veterinary background and gave me a thorough report on when I picked them up. She was kind and caring at all times while still being professional about her expectations and rules. She even sent me photos of my boys while I was gone which was so nice. I feel lucky we found her and plan on bringing the boys back to her again for doggie day care and boarding at her horse property. My doggies are super dusty but happy and well cared for. Thank you, Brittani! Marisol”

“Beth was so wonderful taking care of our energetic golden retriever puppy while we were out of the country. She sent the perfect amount of updates and our dog had an amazing time ☺️”

Rachel N.

“Loren was fantastic! She was very accommodating and patient, and wrote beautiful check-ins to help us feel comfortable while away from our pups! One of our pooches was not the best-behaved and Loren was very calm and reassuring.”

Nell M.

“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up on a ranch, I helped care for over 60 animals, including dogs, which taught me how to recognize and meet each pet’s unique needs, personality, and comfort level. This background has given me strong experience with animals of different temperaments, energy levels, and care requirements. What sets me apart is my focus on providing personalized, enriching care rather than just basic supervision. I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally engaged through exercise, interactive play, brain stimulating activities, and positive reinforcement training. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, needs structure and routine, or benefits from extra patience and gentle attention, I adapt my care to fit them individually. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to meet a variety of pet care needs, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training reinforcement, and plenty of one on one attention In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a spacious gated backyard that provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, I offer a clean, pet-friendly space, including a separate room for guest pets who may feel more comfortable with their own quiet area or need a slower introduction to a new environment. I’m also prepared with supplies for crate or kennel accommodations if that is part of a pet’s normal routine or preferred by the owner. I share my home with a friendly, well-socialized medium-sized shepherd who loves meeting new friends and often helps other dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I carefully monitor all interactions to ensure every pet feels safe and supported. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, companionship, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s individual needs while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in loving, capable hands.

“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Cathleen was very good with my babies, she was able to pick her up and drop her off when I needed and my pup seemed very happy with her company”

“Abriana and her pet family are a joy. Our initial was great and very welcoming. She has a very pet friendly environment for both dogs and cats. For our stay she gave just enough daily updates. What I liked was her honesty that Pilar had anxiety and wasn't initially social with anyone. So she sent pictures of Pilar hiding in the corner or shared she went under the bed. She also shared her eating pattern. I would recommend her and use her again. If your a laid back pet parent with a no super fussy or high maintenance pet, give her a try. She reminds of the neighborhood college babysitter that everyone loves and uses for a parents night or weekend out.”

“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

“Asia was phenomenal! She is extremely considerate and accommodating. I know for sure my 3 dogs were well taken care of while in her care for boarding. I would absolutely request she sit my dogs again, and recommend her services to others.”

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with different routines and environments. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. With a part-time schedule consisting of short shifts a few days a week, I’m able to offer flexible and attentive pet care. I have ample availability to maintain your dog’s routine and provide consistent supervision, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure dogs are always supervised, kept in secure environments, and never put in situations where they could feel unsafe or overwhelmed. I also have a small fenced grass section outside of my house! In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their dog’s normal routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, and I’ll adjust care based on what each dog needs—whether that’s more playtime, exercise, or just a calm presence. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
