Dog Boarding Bear Canyon

“Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)”

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Onrae is my very first Rover experience. Onrae responded quickly, professionally and was very responsive. I had concerns about my dogs behavior (he can be pretty high energy) Lucky for me Dashy was very well behaved at our meet and greet. After talking with Onrae a few minutes I had no concerns if Dashy did have any behavior issues staying there. When dropping off Dashy, he was excited to go in with the well mannered kids. I had prompt check in the next day. Basiclly Dashy did great and I had no concerned about his well being or about any behavior issues. Onrae is highly experienced and highly recommended. He's a no nonsense guy who seems to really care for dogs and client parents concerns. I will definately be using Onrae in the future!”

“Sophie is so nice, gentle, accommodating, & a wonderful pup care-giver. Plus she sent an update and cute photos every day. We couldn't ask for anything more & will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“Lisa was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our cat, Woody. He has never been away from home before, and I was really nervous — but both Lisa and her dog, Gullu, were so gentle and comforting with him. I was genuinely surprised by how relaxed and at ease he seemed around them. Lisa sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and was super flexible with our schedule. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

Katie Y.

“It is so nice to be able to be away from our boy and know that he is being well-taken care of. We are blessed to have Cecilia and Dan love and care for our boy. They are wonderful!!!”

“Esmeralda and her family did a great job. My flight got delayed coming back and she was very accommodating. My dogs came back very happy and calm.”

Megan B.

“Mark is a fantastic communicator and a reliable sitter. I would recommended him to anyone, and we will certainly be boarding again with him any time we can!”

Julie S.

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

Kathy L.

“RITA WAS SO LOVING AND ATTENTIVE TO LOLA'S NEED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE LEFT HER FOR A WEEK . RITA MADE IT A PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS NOT DEPRESSED. WE WILL USE HER AGAIN!”

Jacquelyn H.

“Joshua has a great way about him and the big yard/environment felt right for my pup. When I was away Joshua’s photos gave me relief that my dog was having a great time. Will definitely go back!”

About: Hi! My name is Alex, and I've been working as a veterinary technician for over six years. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I love providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while their families are away. Because of my veterinary background, I'm experienced caring for pets with medical needs, including administering oral and topical medications, insulin and other injections, subcutaneous fluid therapy, and basic wound care when appropriate. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra attention, or one with special medical needs, you can feel confident they'll receive knowledgeable and compassionate care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I hold a Master's in Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare, giving me a strong appreciation for communication, organization, and dependable client service. I'll treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. For boarding, I ask that dogs are either kennel trained or non-destructive when unsupervised. I have two large crates available in my home, so you don't need to provide one unless your dog is more comfortable with their own. My schedule also allows for flexibility—while I work as a veterinary technician 2–3 days each week, my husband works from home several days a week with an office just minutes from our home, allowing us to accommodate dogs that may need more frequent potty breaks. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing them with the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets! Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I work 2–3 days each week as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals is both my career and my passion. On my days off, I'm home caring for my own pets, fostering animals in need when available, and providing attentive care for boarding and daycare pets. My schedule is intentionally kept flexible, and my husband works from home several days a week with an office just minutes from our house, allowing us to accommodate pets that need more frequent potty breaks or extra attention. Whether it's playtime, enrichment, medication administration, or simply providing a calm and loving environment, I make sure every pet in my care receives the individualized attention they deserve. If your dog is staying in my home, they'll be treated like part of the family. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, and my own pets are friendly, social, and enjoy meeting new companions. Every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them settle in at their own pace. If your dog is kennel trained or prefers the security of a crate, I have two large kennels available to make them feel comfortable. As a veterinary technician with over six years of experience, I'm also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide not only a fun stay but also a safe one. For walks and drop-in visits, your pet's safety is always my top priority. I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before opening any door or gate, and I pay close attention to their body language and comfort level throughout our time together. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique routines, quirks, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and low-stress. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I believe in building lasting relationships based on trust, communication, and compassion. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in experienced, loving hands.

“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”

“Thank you so so much for taking care of Leo and doing an excellent job! Thanks for being so kind to us during our chaotic cross country move and flexible on the pick up and drop off times. We knew Leo was well taken care of!! Will definitely remember you when we need a doggy sitter again!”
