Dog Boarding Cortez

“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”

They were great to send us lots of updates and adorable photos. We truly were scared to leave Peter but knew he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them for any sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

“Stacy was very attentive and took great care of our pet Ace. She sent pictures and updates often. I will definitely be bringing Ace back. Thank you so much Stacy!!”

“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”

“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”

Patty B.

“I want to just thank these two. Followed instructions exactly as stated, gave frequent updates, and provided us with so many pictures and videos. Suki had so so so much fun with Nala and Thena and even got exposure to kittens that were being fostered in their home. I will definitely be a returning client.”

Deny R.

“Alyssa and her family were absolutely the best. My little Shih Tzu gets kind of shy and nervous but he warmed up so fast. I was sent update photos and I could tell my dog felt at home. If I’m being honest, he seemed not as excited when I showed up. Definitely recommend and will use this family again. Thank you isn’t enough!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! From dogs to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, I’ve grown up understanding that every pet has their own personality, needs, and special place in their family’s heart. I’m also a master’s-level mental health therapist, so patience, compassion, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m currently a proud dog mom to Squirrel, my sweet senior rescue. Caring for her has given me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding an animal’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I believe in meeting animals where they are and providing the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. One of the perks of my schedule is that I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me flexibility throughout the week! I have Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely free from client sessions, giving me plenty of dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. During the rest of the week, I also have breaks between appointments that allow me to accommodate additional pet care needs, depending on availability. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to provide extended companionship and a consistent presence for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a pet parent and a mental health professional, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines and follow their family’s instructions closely. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions when applicable, and any special considerations related to age, temperament, or health. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level rather than rushing interactions or expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also believe communication is essential. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, thoughtful care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you peace of mind.

“Stephanie was an amazing temporary Mom for Romeo. I was tasked with finding someone to watch my dad’s companion from 350 miles away, while he was in a hospital. I was nervous to say the least. But from our first communication to when Romeo was picked up, Stephanie exuded an amount of care and kindness that let me know Romeo was in the right hands. I actually think it was a treat for Romeo to get the attention and love that he did from Stephanie. Would definitely encourage anyone to use her services.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!

About: I've always loved animals as a kid especially cats since I have 2 of my own. I enjoy going out on walks and runs for really energetic animals and also enjoy making sure their needs are always met. I always enjoy having an animal by my side. I'm available anytime on a Mon/Wed/Fri schedule as I attend school Tue/Thu. I'm also sometimes available on weekends I would just need to know in advance. I have two cats and they are very shy around other animals they are more on the reserved side. I have a medium sized patio and live next to a park which is animal friendly. When I'm at a client's house I would usually do as I'm instructed to and look out for animals' social cues to have a clue on how they are feeling.

“Jennifer was great with our girl and sent plenty of updates and got her out and about even with the holiday weekend. Her last minute availability and convenient location came in clutch! Thank you again Jennifer!”

“Ana gave me ideas on how to help my elder dog be less anxious, like bringing 1 of my shirts with my scent on it. She also had room for Puddles orthopedic bed which also smells like home. Her last sitter she had to sleep on the floor. After this 1 day test stay I could see Puddles was calm & relaxed. Today she begins a 17 day stay & I feel confident having Puddles live with Ana & her family.”

“Estefany was a fantastic dog sitter to my pup Ella! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and was very nice and easy going. She was also super flexible as I shifted the dates & times a few times. Ella had a great time with her pups Zoey & Bella. Would highly recommend to all fellow pet owners!”
