“Took the most amazing care of my guy who can be a lot of energy and can be a bit of a Velcro dog. :) Communicated with daily pictures and updates which helped ease any nerves I had being able to see he was having the best time. Would recommend Darcey to anyone looking for that extra care and attention to your pup.”
“Ryan was a fantastic communicator and a great sitter for our big dog Chopper. Chopper had so much fun playing with their Great Dane, Cooper! We would be happy to board with him again!”
“Rachel and Charles are so lovely! Since the meet-n-greet, we know our Mellow will be in good hands! They are very punctual, kind, and we got so many updates throughout the day and Mellow looked like he had the best time! Will 1000000% book with them again (:”

“Lyndsie and her family are the absolute best! She was such a godsend for me and my father while he is recovering from a fall; she took such good care of his dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. She was so loving and sent frequent updates and photos. Truly wonderful. We are extremely grateful.”

Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of our dog! We will be calling you anytime we need to leave town”
“Lauren was so great and we are really glad we found her and her family to care for our two pups while we were out of town. They provide a loving home away from home, great communication and the best pictures and updates on how they were doing which is always so fun to receive while away from them. They both had a great time with her kiddos and her two pups and we will be glad to be able to use them again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Isabella is wonderful! She takes great care of our boy and his needs, as well as keeping us well updated on his stay. Lincoln really took to her, and he can be picky. Trustworrthy, communicative and mindful. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Joseph, your Carlsbad neighbor and lifelong animal lover! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and even livestock, and I’ve spent years training both horses and dogs. This has given me a solid understanding of animal behavior and the unique needs of pets of all sizes and personalities. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own, whether that means cozy snuggles on the couch, leisurely strolls by the coast, or adventurous walks and hikes. I tailor each stay, walk, or drop-in to your pup’s needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy care. I’ve been a Rover client for years, and now I’m excited to offer the same level of care I looked for: dependable, loving, and professional. Please reach out with any questions and any special requests or behaviors I should know about before hand. I’d love the chance to spoil your furry family member like my own! I’m generally available for boarding Sunday through Wednesday, when I’m home full-time to give your pet my full attention and care. I’m also available for morning walks or drop-in visits to make sure your pup gets exercise, fresh air, and companionship while you’re away. Being in the heart of Carlsbad Village means your dog will enjoy walks to the beach and nearby scenic trails. My Labrador gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and personalities, offering built-in companionship for your pup. My fully fenced yard provides a safe space for supervised play, fresh air, and relaxation between outings, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is secure and happy during their stay.

Tabetha was amazing and so sweet with my puppy! She provided amazing pictures and I could tell the care was so loving and attentive. I boarded my 4 month puppy for 9 days and she was so responsive to training, and even offered to help pick some things up for him. I would absolutely recommend Tabetha and will be reaching out again if I need the help! Thanks Tabetha!!
Monica took great care of our dog while we were away! She kept him busy with lots of playtime and walks. I loved that she sent us updated throughout the day with no shortage of pictures. We are so glad we found her and now have someone to count on in the future!
Jessica was an amazing sitter for my dog Daisy!! When I dropped Daisy off with her, she let me come in and meet her two terriers and see where Daisy would be staying. She sent me plenty of updates and pics and it was clear that Daisy had a blast and was well taken care of. It’s obvious that she’s a real animal lover and puts her whole heart into caring for all her animals. I would absolutely recommend her!
