Dog Boarding Carmel

“I thought Maellen was terrific. A few days before our cruise, Lili, our corgi had to be fitted with "the cone of shame" for a skin condition. I contacted Maellen to see if this would create a problem and offered to find another sitter but Maellen said it would be fine. She treated the skin condition twice a day took excellent care of Lili for the 7 day cruise. Lili obviously had a great time and was in excellent condition. She did not seem to be in a big hurry to leave so I know she liked it. THANK YOU, MAELLEN.”

“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

About: Calm, assertive energy. We’ve fostered and placed several shepherds from the animal shelter into better homes. All of our dogs that my wife wanted led us to a great pet trainer back in 2015. We went to weekly classes and learned to handle our German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois . We focus on the basics and good manners. I am retired working as System Engineering consultant part time. We spend some time in Illinois and some in New Mexico. We have freedom to interact with your pet as needed. We have fenced yard and enclosed porch with pet door. Also have separate 8 ft x 12 ft dog kennel if needed. We have various sized crates if animals need their own space.

“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”

“Jamie and Patrick are the best! My dogs were well cared for and pickup & delivery was seamless and super convenient. My dogs came home happy and healthy with no issues. I've used them twice now and the dogs were very excited when they came to the door for pickup. I think they thought they were going to camp lol. Definitely my go to sitting service for the future.”

“We always feel comfortable when Jenny cares for Shiso. She treats him as well as us so very well. Makes us at ease knowing he’s in a great home.”

“Brandi (and her crew/family) were great with my pup! It was obvious that they took good care of my girl, and I'm looking forward to booking with her again! ☺️”

Geoff K.

“This was our second booking with Bonnie and just like the first time our two fur kids were well loved and cared for. We appreciate knowing we had a safe and comfy place to leave them when we were gone.”

“Ashleigh and her family were great with my two dogs. It had been awhile since I boarded them and she made them feel right at home and sent pictures of them and sent updates frequently during their stay and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. My return trip was delayed and she was accommodating and flexible with the pickup time. I’ll definitely rebook with Ashleigh for future trips!”

Gabrielle C.

“Pat was wonderful to Smokey and a great help to us. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice for our senior dog. I definitely recommend her!”

Andrea & Killian D.

“Kevin is great- very laid back and easy to work with. Had no issues, he did well with our anxious pup! Would recommend him to family and friends and would happily book with him again!”

“I never have to worry when Lucy stays with Mereya. I know Lucy has a great time and they take great care of her. Thank you for always taking great care of Lucy.”

Monica C.

“Thomas and Matthew were excellent. They took such good care of my boy. They also sent me pictures while I was out of town and kept me updated. I had peace of mind the whole time.”

Mariah C.

“Thank you so so much for taking care of Leo and doing an excellent job! Thanks for being so kind to us during our chaotic cross country move and flexible on the pick up and drop off times. We knew Leo was well taken care of!! Will definitely remember you when we need a doggy sitter again!”

Julia H.

“Crystal was amazing. She took on caring for our two dogs when one had a very complicated med schedule. This allowed us to go on our planned vacation. Both our dogs were very cared for and everything was well organized for us when we picked them up. They came home healthy and happy!”

“Patricia always does a great job taking care of my doggies. One of my dogs in particular is pretty emotionally sensitive, but seems to have a good time at Patricia's and always appears relaxed and happy in the pictures and videos Patricia sends. Patricia has also been able and willing to administer medicine and feed according to specific instructions. She was very flexible with us picking up the dogs later than anticipated after flight delays. Very happy we've found such a great sitter for our beloved dogs. She makes this part of traveling so much easier on me!”
