Dog Boarding in Castroville, CA

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the past 7 years from puppy stage to them being almost 7 and 8. One of my dogs is adopted, so I can provide a safe haven for dogs that don’t trust easily. I can do afternoon walks, or overnight care if needed. I have a home with a yard and enough space for them to play inside or outside. I have two dogs that I’ve had for almost 3 years and I care for them like they are my kids. So of course I’m a dog lover. I’m super attentive to everything especially a change in dogs behavior and I’m really big on communication because I know how stressful it can be when you’re traveling away from your pet. There is also a vet down the street from me that I take my dogs to in case anything ever happens. My dogs are both calm (I have a mutt and a corgi) and they love meeting new dogs. However, I can only do boarding at my place because of this reason.

“What a fresh of breath air to find someone as great as Nicole! This was our 1st short trip away from Kobe since we got him at 8 weeks old. It seemed like he got his own little vacation as well since he was well taken care of. Nicole is great on the updates, her home was clean and well kept. My Puppy Kobe did behave from what Nicole said and did well with others at her home. I’m glad we found Nicole! Thank you bunches Nicole. You truly have a wonderful heart for furry babies ??”

“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”

“Mike is the best person in the whole world! I would trust him with my life, he was so fantastic. After having our previously booked Rover sitter cancel on us the day of, we were so lucky to have found Mike! He was amazing with communication, updates, and the care of our dogs. He took them for so many walks, they were so tired by the time we picked them up and slept the whole 3 hours drive back home. We would leave our dogs with him again in a heartbeat!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care Rikiya provided for our beloved Simba while we were away. From the very beginning, his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals were evident. He treated Simba as if he were his own, giving him so much attention, care, and affection. What truly set him apart was the constant communication—sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and reassured us that Simba was happy, safe, and well loved. Coming home to a relaxed and joyful pet meant everything to us. We trust him wholeheartedly and will absolutely be leaving Simba with him again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pet.Thank you so much Rikiya ⭐️”
