“After we had a meet and greet with Michael, Lara, and Teddy (who is an awesome, friendly boy) we knew that we had found the perfect place for our boy Dexter. His first daycare yesterday went wonderfully! Michael kept us updated with fun pictures and timely messages. I can't thank Michael and Lara enough for treating Dexter so well! We look forward to the next daycare and boarding (already booked =-)”


“Jacqueline was so communicative and very sweet. She was able to watch our Haze last min for us. We are so thankful we found her. Haze had a great time meeting new friends and would love to come back again when we visit. 💓”


“Ok, so Lola and I are quite picky. Lola has come home very happy over all the days that she has been over. She’s been walked, fed, and got to play with other dogs. I’m extremely happy with her care. :)”


“It’s clear that you truly love animals and treat them like family. Nami came home happy and relaxed! I’m so grateful for your service and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend”


“Karina was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and was incredibly flexible when I mistakenly scheduled the wrong pick-up time. She was accommodating and understanding, allowing me to pick up my dog later than originally planned. My puppy returned to me happy and healthy, and it was clear she had a great time with the other dogs in Karina's care. With Karina sending me picture updates, I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in her hands. Highly recommend her services!”


“Jason came through in a pinch when I needed a last minute dog sitter. I was able to drop Stevie off early and he watched her all day. He also sent videos of her playing and on walks throughout the day. I picked up a happy, healthy and tired pup at the end of the day. Couldn't ask for more from a dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Jason when I need a dog sitter in the future.”


About: Hi there! We are a loving, active family excited to welcome your pup into our home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—with lots of attention, affection, and snuggles! We have a safe, fenced backyard perfect for playtime and we love taking neighborhood walks to keep pups happy and exercised. Our home is full of love and two little ones , so we ask that your dog is comfortable around children. Our kids are gentle, playful, and love animals, and we always supervise interactions to make sure everyone is safe and happy. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the love, care, and playtime they deserve while you’re Away! Pets are truly a part of my everyday life and schedule! I work as a hairstylist only two days a week, and even then, my shifts are very short—I’m typically only out of the house for about 3 hours at a time. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to provide attentive, consistent care for pets throughout the day. I make sure their routines—whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just company—are a priority. I genuinely love having animals around and enjoy integrating their needs into my daily rhythm, so they’ll always have someone nearby who is engaged and caring Our smaller home but BIG YARD is a perfect combination for your little boy or girl . We have a secure yard but would never leave our friends in it by themselves . Your pup will be one with our family with a nightly walk and allowed to cozy up on the sofa if parents permit . Your pup would never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time , and if we are out we leave the AC and tv on to keep them happy and comfortable.

“Ximena watched my Macie girl and my dog had a great day with her. After Macie warmed up to Ximena, they were buddies plus her dog and mine got along splendidly. I will definitely bring Macie over there again for a play day.”


“Ok so Sabreen is a total sweetheart. She makes my Lola (my puppy dog) happy and I trust her. She comes to receive Lola with a smile and gets her back to me with the same smile. Lola comes back to me happy :)”


“Jacklyn is fabulous! Caring and super adaptable. Minina had a blast today with her new friends! We are definitely returning for a play date! Thanks 🙏🏼 for caring so well for my baby girl!”


“Super awesome! 10000/10 recommend. Jonathan and His Gf are wonderful. I felt super comfortable leaving my fur baby with them. He sent constant updates. Walked and socialized my fur baby. Absolutely work every penny.”


“Our family left our dog with Connie as we went to Legoland CA. We were anxious at first but when we were already in Legoland we received pictures of our dog with hers lying on her lap which really made us feel better. She also sent a picture of him in the bed which I’m sure made our dog feel at home because our dog always sleeps with my children. We enjoyed our time at Legoland knowing our dog is in good hands. Connie also showed up really early, both with pick up and drop off, very punctual. I love that she also let my dog sit with her in her car. We would definitely rebook her when we’re back in the area.”



“Veronica is great! My pup was anxious in a new environment, but he eventually settled down. Veronica was very responsive, flexible with our schedule, and provided us with updates. Thank you for taking care of my pup!”


“Kristen and Severin were amazing! They were able to accommodate a very last minute booking. They were very communicative and our pups absolutely loved them. We will definitely book with Kristen and Severin again!”


About: I grew up in Colorado and have always had a dog, big to small, young to old. Letting them express themselves and use their energy makes for a good doggie. I currently have a very playful westie that spends most of his time right by my side. Our backyard has many places to zip around and places to nap. I currently have a very open schedule in the lakewood / long beach area. Please let me know your scheduling needs are and we will make these dogs smile! I have a backyard which is gated with high walls. We currently have a westie, he is very energetic and loves playing with other dogs.

“Remy had a great day with Lisa. She sent me photos and videos to let me know how he was doing, and he was a tired happy pup by the time I picked him up. Will definitely use her services again in the future!”


About: Committed to making your fur baby feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I recently became a foster dog momma last year in May. I’m currently partnered with Labelle Foundation out of LA and Animals Rule Rescue out of San Pedro. I have truly fallen in love with the experience - since May of 2024 I have fostered 13 dogs! All of which have found their furever homes. They’ve all ranged in age, size and breed. I’ve worked with and trained puppies as young as 6 weeks old along with dogs 1-5 years old. I’ve met some really special people and pups on this fostering journey and would love to continue doing so! I run my own business and primarily work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for same day bookings for drop-in visits and walks. I prefer to have at least 1 day notice for boarding your pet but can make exceptions when I am able. Here to help you in any way that I can! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for meet and greets prior to booking a boarding service with me. Your pets care and well-being is my top priority. Upon booking, I’d like to know all that there is to know about your pet - their diet, their schedule, their sleeping arrangements, etc.. The more I know, the better I can care for your fur baby! If you are boarding your pet - I live in a great, pet friendly neighborhood. They will have a safe space and a secured home/backyard to play and run around in.
