Dog Boarding in Californial Heights, Long Beach, CA

“Our dog was in great hands with Jeimy. She was really attentive to our instructions and took the time to chat with us before our boarding stay to ensure that we were comfortable and that she understood the quirks of caring for our senior dog. She sent us lots of photos everyday so we were able to see that our pup was being well cared for. We would definitely rebook with Jeimy again!”

“Laura was great! Our dog and two cats (one of which is not very friendly) stayed with Laura for 4 days while we were out of town. She gave us plenty of updates on our animals and sent lots of pics. She was great to work with and our animals were happy and healthy when we picked them up. I would highly recommend Laura.”

“My dog Roe had a wonderful time at Karina's home, she was so nice and sent me pictures throughout the day so I could see what my dog was doing!”

“I have nothing but great things to say about Emily — both as a person and as a sitter. She’s such a kind and pure soul, and that kindness extends to the animals she’s trusted to care for. I needed a last-minute sitter for my dog after my original booking canceled just two days before my flight. Not only did Emily accept right away, but from our very first conversations, I could tell she was the perfect person to care for my girl. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions about my dog — everything from her allergies to her fears — because she truly wants to understand the animals she looks after. Emily fully embodies the mindset that "dogs are family, not just pets." She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with my dog, who has a history of severe abuse and was turned away by multiple families before we adopted her. As a result, our dog is extremely fearful of people and has never let strangers pet her. Emily completely understood her trauma, gave her space, and still cared for her with such gentle presence. On the first day, my dog was terrified — she thought I was abandoning her. Emily came up with the amazing idea for me to leave something I had worn, so my scent would comfort her and it helped so much. I wouldn’t have thought of it myself, if she didn’t mention it. Over the four days I was away, Emily not only won her over by day two, but by the end of the trip, my dog — Tigris — had made huge progress. I took her to the dog park immediately after picking her up, and for the first time, she approached people, nuzzled them, and even let some women pet her! (And who knows — maybe with time and continued work, she’ll open up to men too.) I don’t know what it is, but Emily must be an animal whisperer or something — we were honestly amazed and moved by the change in Tigris’ behavior. Throughout the stay, Emily sent regular updates with pictures and videos, which helped so much when I was missing her. She asked before giving any treats outside of what I’d packed and kept me in the loop about anything that came up — including a stress accident where Tigris peed on the couch. Most people would be upset, but Emily was nothing but kind and understanding, just wanting to let me know so I wouldn’t worry. And Tigris having wet stools, that she remedied it by boiling potatoes to add to her kibble. She kept to Tigris’ feeding schedule, took her on walks every 2–4 hours, and even brought her to the park. On top of that, Emily left a beautiful handmade charm with Tigris’ name on it — such a thoughtful touch and a sweet keepsake from this trip. Thank you so, so much, Emily. This entire experience wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without you. I’m beyond glad we chose you. You’re so personable and truly one of the most empathetic people we could have asked for, for Tigris. She is the perfect match for our baby (or any fur baby, really). I had never left Tigris with anyone before, but now I know she’ll be staying with you every time we need a sitter.”

“Natalie was absolutely amazing. She took care of our Great Dane puppies for 4 days. She sent photos and videos of them playing daily while they they were there. They didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend, I’ll be using her moving forward!”

“Jamila was a lifesaver! Another sitter canceled in the middle of my dog’s stay and Jamila immediately responded to my last minute request. I’m so grateful for her and Brolin seemed to easily get along with her too. So glad I found her. I highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Fancy! I love making new friends and playing all day. My human Judy has years of experience caring for big dogs and even raised and trained, Dolly the Dogo Argentino (RIP), Now it’s my turn to share the fun, come join me for playdates, cuddles, and poolside adventures! If you have the right temperament, you can even meet the cats (twin boys, Pancho and Lefty) and our backyard chickens! I work from home as a healthcare consultant and would welcome your dogs to my little urban farm located in LBC. I am home most days really just going out for errands, animals are the main focus of my day, I have 2 indoor cats, a 7 month old golden retriever and 4 backyard chickens. I even have a feral cat that I feed, she is best friends with the chickens but wont let me touch her, yet! I have a fenced yard, that was built to contained my beloved Dogo Argentino, my home is very safe with doors that separate the house in sections, This is helpful when needing to separate the animals, or to create barriers for escape artists. I have crates if needed. Most dogs just sleep in the bed with me, Fancy will pout for the first night and then she will cuddle up!

“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”

“Christa was the best dog sitter. She went above and beyond while taking care of Maverick and I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”

Emily S.

“I would leave my dogs here again! They were great and my pups was so happy. So many pix and videos were shared. I felt they were cared and loved! Thanks Connie and Daisy!”

“A perfect experience! Angie is amazing. She took such good care of my little one. When I picked him up he was so calm and chill! Usually he can’t wait to jump back into my arms…and that was not the case this time. LOL. Her house is perfect with a danced in back yard, that he had access to all day. Angle sent me constant updates, photos and videos...which I LOVED. 5 STARS all around! Ziggy will definitely be back. Thank you so much for everything Angie!”

“I’m going to leave a rather lengthy review. I feel it’s important and necessary in order to accurately portray the anxiety and fear both myself and my pet had prior to our trip, why I felt like I had and then follow it up with just how wonderful the experience with Michelle turned out to for both myself and Lily (my furbaby). I was extremely anxious and hesitant in leaving my dog in someone else’s care. The quick “back story” as to why is that I’ve I NEVER left my pet in anyone else’s care (other than my son or husband) due to the circumstances in which we acquired her. Lily was abused and severally neglected, passed from owner to owner, multiple times within her 1st year as a pup. So Lily’s anxieties and fears of abandonment are on a rather high level, which in-turn only exacerbates mine. Lily is now about 6-years old and she is extremely weary of strangers and she HATES riding in the car (no matter time or distance). Our family was taking a trip to Anaheim from the Central Valley (about 5-6 hours in the car) for a five day stay. It was necessary to find someone to who could provide adequate care for Lily during the day, each day during our visit. Someone willing and able to work with our schedule, early drop-off and late pick-up but not just anyone…. Someone who would be patient, caring and nurturing to Lily while we were busy during the day. Michelle agreed to meet with us the day before in order to allow Lily to become familiar with her (as well as us with her too). We didn’t want Lily to feel as if she was being abandoned yet again. Michelle was absolutely an angel with putting me at ease prior to our “meet and greet” and upon meeting she had Lily warmed up to her so quickly. I’m a firm believer that pets, animals in general, can sense the goodness in humans and they’ll let you know rather quickly if a person doesn’t “check out”. Michelle is truly one of a kind, she is so good with anxious pets “and people too” 😁 Each day, during the stay, Michelle sent updates of Lily’s adaptiveness, videos and pictures providing both me and my husband ease of mind throughout the day. Which was something I really needed and provided me great comfort. To any future, potential “customers”, you need not look any further if you’re needing to entrust someone with your precious pet. Our pets are our family and we love them as such. You want the best for them, to feel safe and loved when they are not in our care. Michelle provides exactly that. "Thank You", is not sufficient in expressing our appreciation. Michelle you and your husband have kind, loving and caring souls... we are grateful to have met you and happy to know you. Whenever we are in the area, we will be sure to use your services again. ~Shannon, Eli & Lily 😊”

“Our dog stayed with Leslie for a week. We were super happy with everything! She sent regular updates and pictures. It’s hard to be away from him but we’d be absolutely comfortable having him stay with Leslie again. Thank you!!”

“Jo is amazing. She took care of my dog like he was her own pet. She has 2 other fur babies but they get along well with Noodles, maybe because they are the same breed so that helps. Noodles need very minimum care but Jo went above and beyond to give him all the attention that he deserved. She got him chewing tooth brush, vitamins, and toppers without us asking. She is extremely good with updates and photos. Even though we traveled oversee but we get a few updates with photos with a short message, this help us knowing he's in good care. She makes sure he get his long walk and exercise with her. She has a good size back yard for him to roam around as well. I will 1000% using her as our forever dog sitter for sure. I'm very thankful for her thoughtfulness and warmth toward Noodles and our family.”

“Matthew and Kim did a great job in taking care of Breezy and keeping me updated. I needed a last minute sitter due to personal reasons and they were willing to take breezy in with open arms. I highly recommend them!”

“Yvie took great care of our Maggie. We will be having some play dates soon. She was more than willing to send pictures and message with us. We had never left Mags with a Rover sitter. We are so thankful she was safe with Yvie.”

“Kelis is our go to person to care for our pup when we have to leave him at home. She takes wonderful care of little one as he is part of their family.”

“Marby and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Sora! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and they made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Sora was not only safe but genuinely enjoying his time with them. It’s clear they both have a natural way with animals — Sora came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the attention they gave her, and it felt like she was treated like part of their family for the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Marby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”

“All my dog sitters were unavailable this week, which meant I had to find a new one. It’s always a daunting task. After messaging many many Rovers, I followed my gut and went with Kimberly. So glad I did! My pup Lia hit it off with Benny the celebrity Corgi. Kimberly sent many photos and it was clear Lia felt right at home. We’ll definitely be back!”

Erick A.

“Marilyn and family did an outstanding job with Chowder. I know she worked overtime because Chowder is a puppy with lLOTS of energy and is still in training. He came home happy and she even taught him a new trick. I’m really thankful for the incredible care they took of my puppy and for the daily updates she provided. It really put me at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
