Pet Boarding Walnut Grove

“Daisy and Paul are amazing! Vanko recently spent 10 days there, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Daisy and Paul are incredibly attentive, kind, professional, and truly someone you can trust with your furry family member. We received updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the videos that Vanko was happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Because Paul's incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, Vanko had a significant improvement in his socail skills; during his stay he makes a lot of friends;) It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for them—it’s a passion. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Vanko received. 10/10 recommend, thank you so much for taking care of our boy! We will definitely be coming back.”

“It was my very first time using Rover’s service so I was a little apprehensive. I arrived early and was still welcomed to drop off Bugz which was greatly appreciated. During the time Bugz was in the care I was fed photos of him looking very comfortable in his surroundings. Again a device that was not expected but certainly appreciated because it put my mind at ease about the care Bugz was receiving! All in all I was more than pleased with the service and care received during my initial use. I would recommend this person as a sitter or boarder and would have no reservations of using them again.”

“Tony and Jielei have a great space for dogs in their home and especially their big back yard, and they had a real focus on making sure my dog felt at home and was fitting in well. A key point, Tony and Jielei spent time first figuring out my dog’s temperament, and then adjusted their care to what they had learned about my dog’s personality. Their communication is excellent - an abundance of photos, videos, and messages throughout her stay. Highly recommended.”

“She was wonderful with Mochi! Such a sweet and caring lady — she sent me daily videos and updates, which made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Mochi looked like she was having so much fun and was really well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!”

“Lana is always so kind, and it’s very clear that she loves dogs and takes care of them so well. I always get great video and photo updates and can tell that Zora is enjoying her stay!”

Gregory E.

“Gloria and Steven were great hosts for our pup Eli! They were thoughtful in learning Eli’s personality (since it was our first time) and quickly adjusted to his needs and routine. Communication was 10/10 as they sent updates and photos consistently throughout Eli’s stay. They have an awesome dog park right by their place and he was spoiled with many walks! We will definitely be going back in the future :)”

Anna O.

“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with dogs, horses, bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters, so understanding animal behavior and care has always come naturally to me. I have a ton of patience, attentiveness, and ability to build trust with animals quickly. I also personally trained my own family dogs (golden retriever and American Eskimo Spitz), which gave me experience with reinforcing good behaviours, maintaining routines, leash walking, crate training, and understanding the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I genuinely take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and anxious, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets in my care get lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention, not just quick check-ins. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own pets. I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home as a university student currently off for the summer. This allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have years of experience caring for animals, not only my own pets, but also pet sitting and caring for the pets of friends, family and clients over the years. I have looked after animals with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for someone’s pet. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhouse with a front yard, and pets in my care are welcome to freely roam around the home and make themselves comfortable. They are absolutely allowed on the furniture because I want them to feel as relaxed, loved, and at home as possible during their stay. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I am also a very active and routine-oriented person, so walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime are always kept consistent and reliable. Since I already enjoy going on walks daily myself, your dog will get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and stress-free while away from home. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I will make sure they receive patient, loving, and attentive care every step of the way. For daycare and overnight boarding, I ask owners to provide food, treats, leash/harness, medications (if needed), and any comfort items like toys or blankets to help their pets settle in comfortably.

“Tamara took great care of our two small dogs, Taro and Valentino. They got walks every day, and they played with Yogi, one of Tamara's two dogs. Her second dog Ari is calm and a bit shy. Valentino and Yogi got matching energy, so they got along great. Taro is a bit anxious, and he cuddled with Tamara a lot. When we picked our dogs up, they were exhausted, so they must have got loads of fun during their stay.”

“Tucker has the best time with her dog and is definitely subject to her expert dog handling/coaching as well as smooshy pup loving! Always an all-around great experience.”

Tara M.

“I was worried about finding a sitter for our slightly anxious 6 month young puppy Misa, just a few days before a long weekend trip. I messaged Ran and she suggested a meet-and-greet at a park, which I appreciated. While we were away, Ran sent regular updates and photos of Misa which was very reassuring since this is the first time we’ve left her for an extended amount of time. It was clear that Misa was being well taken care of and had fun going on walks and playing with the family and their small dog. I would highly recommend Ran to anyone looking for great comfort, care, and patience for their fur baby!”

Sherill V.

“Sheila is fantastic. Ruby, a full of energy slightly anxious three year old Shih Tzu, was so completely contented when I picked her up after a full week with Sheila. She understands and “knows” dogs. I highly recommend Sheila and expect to ask her to care for Ruby again.”

Marie M.

“Sheena was amazing. She updated me every day with photos. She has an amazing yard that the pups played around in everyday. I would absolutely reccomend her.”

Ashtyn H.

“Starbuck came home very chill lol so I know he was taken good care of. She sent me updated photos of him and told me what he was up to. It made my vacation very relaxing knowing he was in good hands and not crying I felt 100% at ease with using Luanne from rover would definitely use her again.”

Rose M.

“Rachael was amazing with my dog. He enjoyed his stay fully and received so much love. That he didn't seem to miss me. I would definitely rebook with Rachael.”

“Elizabeth was so amazing with my dog!! The love and care she put into taking care of her was much appreciated and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“We went on a 3 week vacation and have to leave our Bella with Luis.. we were anxoius as this will be the first time that we will leave our furbaby that long.. However, Luis took care of her and made us feel that Bella is in good hands.. Bella also has a special diet which Luis handled very well.. Luis updated us everyday. We enjoyed our vacation with peace of mind that our Bella is well-taken care of. Now it seems that Bella misses Luis too! Everytime she hears Luis' name, her face lights up. Thank you Luis! You are such a savior!”

“Karina was amazing with my dog Milo! She did well maintaining his routine and schedule and sent updates daily. Will definitely book with her again!!”

Harleen G.

“Shivani is truly excellent. She sends daily photos and videos. My dog always goes into her home easily, and whenever I pick him up, he’s in great spirits. It’s very clear he’s had a wonderful time. Whenever I travel, Shivani is my first choice if she’s available.”

“I cannot recommend Melanie highly enough! She provided absolutely incredible care for my dog Maomao last weekend - honestly, even better care than I give him myself. What impressed me most was how genuinely she loves animals. You can feel her passion and dedication in everything she does. Melanie went above and beyond in every way: - She sent us wonderful photos throughout Maomao's stay, which gave our whole family such joy watching him have fun - She spent so much quality time with him, taking him on long walks that were perfect for my big boy - She safely took him to the dog park with excellent supervision - She even helped me with leash recommendations based on her experience Melanie's attention to detail, genuine care, and professional service exceeded all my expectations. She is hands down the best dog sitter I've ever encountered - truly in a league of her own. If you want someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the love and attention they deserve, Melanie is your person. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Melanie, for taking such amazing care of Maomao! ❤️”
