Dog Boarding Bitter Lake

“Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”

About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.

“Finding sitters who truly care about your dog is tough, but Kelly and Karen exceeded all expectations. Tony is usually a bit anxious, but Kelly makes him feel better. Their communication was excellent, and gave me update(pic/vidoes)about Tony during i was on my vacation. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy…”

“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”

“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”

“Wow! Believe the reviews: Nathan and his family are incredible and truly give you peace of mind. Nathan sends several pictures each day along with little updates. Our shy little kitten took to them very quickly and clearly had a great time. We will definitely be using Nathan's services again.”

“As always, Kathryn and Mark take awesome care of Laika. She’s super comfortable there and very happy when we pick her up. We’ll definitely be calling them again!”

“Philip was so good with our first doggy (1 yr old puppy) and his care was excellent with our second (3yr old choc lab). Steve had lovely park walks, mental stimulation and came back very happy doggie. Highly recommend!”

Ling T.

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was so well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved receiving daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

Rachel Q.

“Our old dog was hard to leave as he is getting very close to the end. He made it through with Chris, and we are very grateful. Chris was communicative about Bravo’s missteps and let me know when all was well too and sent reassuring pictures. He was accommodating about drop and pick up as well.”

Kyra B.

“Eleanor was absolutely amazing with our pups while we were traveling internationally. She kept us at ease with consistent updates and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. We’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Sarah W.

“I loved knowing that I was dropping Buster off to Rose and Bodhi for a fun week of activity and adventure. Rose provided the perfect amount of updates to show me that Buster was being well taken care of. I like that she wasn't just dog sitting him at her home, but he got to meet other friends and go to the dog park. A vacation for everyone!”

Margaret T.

“Cathleen took excellent care of our dog. Pictures and updates multiple times a day. Excellent fast easy communication. Cathleen was also so helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed. Will use again!!”

Jennifer K.

“Lorena took care of Ginkgo like he was her own! She provided daily updates while we were away and missing him. She and her husband are wonderful caretakers and they are definitely our go-to dog sitters going forward.”

Anne-Rachel K.

“Ali and her family are the perfect fit for chewy! Her family was welcoming and he was so so happy to be with them! He loved being with ali and she was so helpful and responsive. Im sure chewy cant wait to go back and visit!!”

Justin B.

“Yer was wonderful with my puppy! This was his first overnight visit away from us and I was nervous about how it would go. She sent many appreciated updates and my little guy had a great time!”

Diana B.

“Don truly cares for dogs and is flexible and easy to work with. He watched our senior schnauzer for a week and was very attentive to the needs of an older dog. He has had several of his own and obviously loves the companionship. Thanks Don!”

Brad M.

“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Always happy Winston is with Sofia when we are away! Sofia accommodates our schedule so well and takes the best care of Winston. It has been a great match for everyone!”

“Sunny spent the week with Cecilia and her sweet pups and had so much fun! I got daily updates and pictures. Sunny can't for us to go out of town again so she can stay with Cecilia again!”
