About: I have a lot of education with dogs. In high school I attended a Scroc Pet boarding class and also went to Animal Behavior College. I worked at Pet Boarding and Spa in Lomita, California. I volunteer at the Lancaster Animal Shelter where I have fostered puppies that were underaged and bottle fed them and potty trained them. I am very familiar with humane animal restraint. I am familiar with all dog breeds . I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have distributed medicine to dogs often. I tend to take care of animals with all my heart, and love them within seconds of meeting them and would do anything for them. I believe I am the best choice for your pets needs.

About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.

“Super grateful for Kristen and her family ! They were so attentive the whole week they had the doggies. Sent pictures and kept me updated. Will definitely use again”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m an avid lifelong dog lover who works from home full time. Our home features a spacious, secure fully fenced backyard where dogs can run freely. I have extensive experience caring for happy pups of all life stages, from high-energy puppies who need consistent potty training to seniors who require gentle care and medication management. My husband and I have a lively, dog-loving home with two friendly pups and a toddler under two. Because of this, we only accept guest dogs who are known to be comfortable and gentle around young children. We also proudly offer long-term boarding for military deployments and extended work travel. We are familiar with the military lifestyle and offer flexible boarding for both short-term TDYs and long-term deployments. Having two dogs of our own, we provide a stable 'pack' environment where your pup becomes a temporary member of our family for as long as you're away. Whether for a weekend or six months, your dog will receive close supervision, daily play, and all the love they deserve! I'm currently working from home so I'm very active and available to the dogs when they need me. They typically like to nap in the office or sunbathe outside while I'm working, and during my breaks we often play in the backyard or go for a quick walk. Once I'm off work there's more playtime in the backyard before dinner and bedtime. Our two friendly dogs love making new friends and are great at welcoming guests into our pack. We always offer a quick Meet & Greet in our spacious backyard to ensure everyone’s personality meshes perfectly before the stay. This allows us to see how our dogs and my child interact with your pup before we confirm a stay. For long-term stays (30+ days), I often suggest an extended Meet & Greet to make sure your pup feels fully comfortable before your departure.

About: Experienced sitter providing loving care, senior support, medication administration, and puppy training basics. I treat every pet like my own with patience, attention and love. Pet care fits around my college class schedule. I’m a student during the week, with most availability on Fridays through Sundays for consistent, reliable care. Open to discussing my weekday availability if needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines closely in the client’s home to keep them comfortable and stress free. I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure while the owner is away. I prioritize patience, safety, and treating every pet like my own.

“Adrianna is the best! We left our little Ellie for 5 days and every single day, she sent us an update of how she’s doing along with pictures.. Adrianna is super great at communicating with you and answers any concerns or questions you may have.. Her fur-baby, Ruffles, is so sweet and gentle.. we really were beyond lucky to have them look after our baby.. So don’t look any further, Adrianna is the way to go!?”

About: I have grown up with dogs. The past 10+ years I have cared for other peoples dogs. I understand how uneasy people feel about leaving their pooch in a Kennel, simply because their dog is their world and they would rather have their dog have home comforts whilst you are apart. Married but we have no children so am able to offer a calm environment for those dogs that are mature or nervous of bangs and loud noises. Likewise I have the time and energy for those dogs that need a little more play time. I have a neutered schnoodle that is mature enough to chill but also enjoys a play. I work part time from home. So I am able to offer your pooch a lot of time and love, be it walks or just company. I have an enclosed, secure garden, mainly walled with gated access which is locked. It is completely private. It is not a large garden, but it certainly offers a dog enough space to stretch their legs, chase a ball or just chill on the patio.

“Bri was Great! She did really well with Charlie and Charlie really liked her and her family. I would definitely recommend her to anybody that asked me. I really like that she sent me updates and pictures it made my away from home much more comfortable.”

“Jennifer has watched my frenchie before and she’s done an excellent job both times. You can’t go wrong using her to watch your pet. She’s awesome!!”

About: Yes, I am vaccinated. I've taken care of dogs for a dog rescue (Pepper Foundation, Studio City), know first aid, geriatric care & have had many of my own. I've had pets since a child. I know First Aid & even earned a First AID/CPR certificate. My little Heidi, my minny unwanted dassy originally given to me as a birthday gift, not wanted by her owners cause she had a small bald spot and wasn't perfect, lived until 19 yrs old and my Cat Munchkin lived until 23 yrs old (unusual long age). I've fostered many dogs for the Pepper Foundation who typically rescues unwanted geriatric special needs dogs but also fostered puppies as well. I know all about giving fluids, meds, and have certain med supplies here, just per chance. I've cared for dogs at owner's homes and know about meds if needed. I understand sensitivity and kindness, good care & responsible attention to your best friend(s). I won't let anything happen to your fur baby. Will go by your rules too. I am near various vets, have large yard for play, no pool or danger, covered patio, and possibly another small/med size zen dog to play with. I worked with lots of doggies with and without disabilities all unique needing individualized attention and diets. I've worked with puppies who need lots of love. I've worked with other animals as well: Cats, a squirrel, and birds. I have different rooms, per chance you have a dog that needs a certain type of serenity. I have air conditioning and evap cooling here and heat in the winter. You can't leave a dog outside in very cold temps or very hot temps. You also cannot leave them in a car in the heat. The heat will heat up in one minute in a car. I have security cameras here on the property, in the yard, allover the front of my house as well and an alert system if I need it. I have an MfA in Fine Art and an MA in Illustration. I paint dog portraits as well. I have lots of time to give care and a free-styled 24 hour a day schedule. I study at my own pace at home so I have time to give your pets attention and keep an eye on them. I have a secure fenced yard, outdoor cams, dogs can stay indoors, have doggy door, living room and couch, and no carpet here. I am trustworthy, honest character, caring, concerned with the health of your fur baby, medically aware, know first aid for animals, and know how much your love your pet. I do not believe in hitting a dog or cat "to train them" what so ever and believe you can train a dog best with patience and love. They learn much better when you consider their feelings. They do not like feeling fear or humiliation. I also don't believe in hitting the floor with a newspaper as some do, if a doggy urinates on the floor. That only teaches them fear; you want to teach them they they are loved and it's ok instead. It's somewhat quite here much of the time. I have tennis balls that my dog likes to play with. Dogs need to know they can trust you first of all and that they will get fed, be able to play and relax, and have a place to nap and rest. They need to know they are safe in their environment and no one is going to harm them. Sometimes it takes a little while to earn a dog's trust. I make time for the pets and available. Fits just fine most of the time. Call and book if you are in need. We can set up meet and greet and talk by phone. I usually consider a day care situation about 8 hours long. We play in and in the yard, if your dog likes to play. Your dog can snuggle on the couch or in a doggy bed, whichever your dog prefers. Depending on your rules, your dog will get some treats and you can let me know what type of toys is ok with your dog and which are not.
