Dog Boarding Cottages North

“A very nice girl who tried her best to nurture and console my not very willing dogs. 😄 she did a great job and sent lots of videos and messages to keep me up to date with how they were doing… they loved her and had fun playing with her two sweet dogs. I definitely recommend her!”

“Jessie has become Edward’s home away from home. He’s very comfortable with her and always happy to see her. She’s very observant about changes in his behavior and is very caring and patient with him. He’s so much happier staying with her than in a boarding kennel.”

“This was Michelle’s first visit with my busy kitty crew, and I felt comfortable, and knew they were In Good hands, the moment that I met with her. This was also a last minute booking, and Michelle was gracious and accommodating. Thank you for the care, and for making a last minute trip, possible for our family, Michelle.”

“Negin helped us out with a last minute booking and it worked out wonderfully! She is prompt and thoughtful and most importantly, took great care of our little dog! We are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommended!”

“Dana took very good care of Chewie when we were away. Chewie seemed very relaxed and happy with them . I’ll definitely use her service again in future. Thank you Dana !”

“Carmen was so kind and loving with our Tibby! She welcomed her into her home, took her on long walks, and let her become queen for the weekend :) She sent lots of photos and kept us in the loop - we knew Tibby was having a good weekend too! Highly recommend Carmen, and we will be back next time we travel!”

Kathryn M.

“A bit hard to review as there wasn’t much overlapping time to be with Memha. Her home is quite rural and surrounded by orchards with a large fenced yard so visually very appealing Memha and her husband were very sweet and volunteered to come into town to both pick up and return our dog back to us; very thoughtful! Our dog came home tired which we loved!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was born. Now, I have worked as a vet assistant for 6 years in both general practice and oncology. I have helped with emergencies for all kinds of breeds and done overnight care several times. I also work and volunteer at shelters consistently so I know how to deal with animal stress. I have never met an animal I didn't love no matter its personality and demeanor so I know they are in good hands. I am a college student but have gaps in my day to go back to my apartment and take them out. I would never leave a pet at home for more than 2 hours and live with just my fiance and I also well equipped in pet care, but I will be doing the caregiving. I love every furry friend and it would be a joy rather than a chore to help care for each pet. I am well versed in medication administration, feeding, playtime, small training activities, and more. Depending on the breed or species, I would ensure I am thorough with each pets need and go from there whether thats exercise and play or just chilling on the couch.

“My pup got a country getaway - pigs, goats, horses, lots of land run. He's whipped, as he hasn't left his favorite chair since we got home!. I had a last minute work trip for just a night, so had to scramble to find a sitter, but Kristen was available and communicated well before the trip. While my dog stayed, I received frequent updates with pictures of a dog smiling that no dog could fake. He was well cared for and I'd definitely use her again. Thank you Kristen!!!”

Mike M.

“She was very patient and kind with my dog Maple who is still figuring out her own routine. Constantly updated and asked questions to make sure that Maple was getting proper care and made her feel welcomed.”

About: I am a retired teacher, ready to just enjoy animals. Our very long lived pets have include kitties and dogs, including large breeds, like Rottweilers am I current fur baby Bella, who is a Yorkshire terrier.Spot the old gentleman lived for 20 years. He was under constant medical care in 2020 when he couldn’t get to the vet. He was medicated and he receives subcutaneous fluids from me. I also performed injections for his medicine once a day and his pill pills twice a day. I am available most days of the week so if I show that I’m off, it’s probably for a short doctor’s appointment or errand that I have. Let me know. I’m available work days and most weekends my availability starts at 6 AM. Call to see if I’m available for special overnights care or medical care. If your dog has an appointment, I would gladly help you. If I show that I am not available it’s usually because I scheduled an appointment those days for myself. Pets or care for in my home in West Sacramento. A dog park is nearby as is a regular park for fragile dogs. One little Yorkie present and adults only.

“Aida is great! My sweet pup loves being at her house and I felt completely comfortable leaving her for 6 days and I am going to board her again in a week for another 10 days. ! Highly recommend.”

Catherine S.

“Mya was amazing with our senior dog Pepper, she gave me lots of updates on him as-well as pictures and videos. She made me feel really comfortable leaving him in her care and communicated amazingly with me! i will definitely be booking her in the future!”

About: I’m a UC Davis Animal Science student who has always loved animals and enjoys caring for them. I have hands-on experience with my own Toy Poodle and have learned professional pet care through veterinary assistant experience and shadowing at veterinary clinic. These experiences have helped me better understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of providing attentive care. I keep my calendar updated and always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’ll communicate with you throughout your pet’s stay and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Through my veterinary hospital shadowing experience, I’ve learned to recognize changes in pets’ behavior and handle them calmly and carefully. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines.

“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for 12+ years, with a strong background in rescue, behavior, and training. Since 2023, I’ve fostered dogs through Front Street Animal Shelter, including dogs with significant behavioral challenges. I also train my own rescue dog in sports and have experience working through reactivity, separation anxiety, and lack of socialization. I additionally shadow professional dog trainers twice a week to continue expanding my skills. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments and am committed to providing safe, structured, and individualized care! I often work from home and enjoy going on hikes in my free time (with the dogs of course)! Specifics will vary dog by dog, but I make sure everyone is happy! Please message me for more details! I am versed in pet dog training, and place an emphasis on safety for everyone, including consistent reading of canine body language, proactive safety measures, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for many dogs with varying needs, so I am easily adaptable but safety always remains a priority. For safety reasons, dogs MUST be comfortable being crated at night and for 4-6 hr periods while I am away/unable to supervise.

“Brandee provided superb care for our elderly pup. She was very communicative with messages/photos that ensured us our dog was receiving loving care.”

Alex W.

“Melissa was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! From the start, I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos. It made me so happy to see her tail wagging, going on walks, and playing. It was clear she was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoying her time. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who is both reliable and caring!”

Sandra E.

“Erica was amazing with my puppy. She made sure and sent me pics n kept me updated so that I knew Kitana was being well taken care of. She was also very flexible with me updating drop of n pick up and even let me extend her stay for another night. I will be using Erica as my permanent pet sitter.”

Nichelle R.

“I finally found someone who takes care of Sophie the way I do. Sophie adores her and has made friends with her cats. Sophie will be staying with Lizzy again when the need arises. Thank you for being very good and loving to Sophie. That was a 5 star service!”
