Dog Boarding Dos Pinos

“Maria and Katrina and their doggy are so sweet. Our young energetic pup had a great time staying with them. She was very comfy and happy and well taken care of.”

Courtney G.

“Marya was great. Communicated since day one. I can tell our 11 month old Frenchie “Buster” had a great time at her house. She sent pictures to us throughout the day showing us how he was playing with other dogs that they had there. Buster was exhausted by the time we picked him up. Would highly recommend Marya with your dog/s. Will be taking him back next time we need a sitter.”

“XingYuan was great!! All the updates with pictures and videos were awesome & I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her & happy! Will use her again in the future.”

Zane S.

“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”

Robyn S.

“Ann was amazing with my high energy dogs - medium labradoodle and Portuguese Water Dog. She was very communicative during our time away and my dogs every need was met, including medications. I will absolutely use Ann again - five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“She is great! She kept us updated all the time with funny and beautiful photos of our boy! Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! We are Camille and Daihong, a husband and wife team who would love to welcome your pup into our little family! I grew up with a dog and have been around dogs for most of my life, while Daihong became a first time dog dad when we got our Mia. Now he might be just as obsessed with dogs as I am, if not more! 😂 We are currently raising Mia our super sweet doodle, and she absolutely loves people and other dogs. She is playful, social, and always excited to make a new friend, so your pup will have a built in buddy during their stay! As dog parents ourselves, we know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your baby with someone else. We will treat your dog like one of our own with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, and probably a little extra spoiling. ❤️ We are also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and having a great time. Our goal is for your dog to feel like they are having a little vacation of their own while you are away! 🐶🏡 I work from home Monday through Wednesday, and Daihong works from home full time, so someone will always be home with your pup! Our days already revolve around caring for Mia, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention are a normal part of our daily routine. We have lots of flexibility and are happy to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule as much as possible. We live in an apartment, so we are best suited for small to medium sized dogs who are comfortable in an apartment environment. We take Mia out regularly throughout the day for walks and potty breaks, and there is a dog park right across the street that we love taking her to for some extra exercise and playtime. Mia is very friendly and loves both people and other dogs, so your pup will have a built in buddy during their stay! Since Daihong works from home full time, someone is usually around to keep an eye on the pups and give them plenty of attention. We are also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and crate routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible. ❤️

“Cecilia is very professional and caring. She is a real dog lover! She and her dogs welcomed our energetic puppy and she sent photos and videos every day. We appreciate her work!”

“Kathleen was so reassuring and responsive to my many check in’s during Coco’s boarding. It made going away less stressful and Coco had a blast.”

About: I have been raised with dogs cats hamsters tortoises since I was little. As a kid I have pet sat for many of my neighbors animals. During my freshmen year at Uni I worked as a vet tech. Currently I am a senior at UC Davis and am available to care for your pets overnight before classes, in between classes, and after classes. I can administer medication orally sublingual and injection wise. I have given inhalers and eye drops many times. On another note I will not be taking your dogs to dog parks anything can occur as there are dogs of various temperaments. Dogs will not be off-leash when being walked and while walking, I tend to avoid people or other dog interactions to maintain safety, regardless of how sweet or kind your dog or the other dogs are. Safety first always! :) Aside from that I will always throw frisbees, toys, and even tustle with overly energetic puppies/dogs in your home/backyard if thats how they like to have fun. A tired dog is a happy dog! I am a student at UC Davis but after lectures I will likely be in the house most of the time if your dog has separation anxiety. I prefer to be a recluse at the house especially since I will be studying for the MCAT with your pups or kitties of course. Yayyy :) Your dog will be cared for in a secure and welcoming environment. I always allow the doggos/kitties to approach me at their own time and space to ensure we start off at the right foot. For me safety is paramount so even if your dog is social with other dogs or humans on walks I will likely be avoiding approaching to ensure that everyone is safe/happy. I also truly believe that dogs and cats that are social or more high in energy need mental stimulation so I will be providing play time or attention to those furry companions that need so. On the other hand kitties or pups that are more skittish I will respect their personal space and make sure they are receiving the food, time outside, medication or other related needs they may have :)

“Mehma was great and really helped me out with last-minute boarding! From the update pictures she sent, it looked like my beagle Stuey had a great time with Mehma.”

“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”

About: I am a 4th year veterinary student at UC Davis, and I have lived in Davis for 8 years. I went to UC Davis for undergrad and now am in my clinical year at their vet school. For the past 4 years, I have offered pet-sitting services and have watched and stayed with numerous animals. I can administer medications, walk dogs of any behavior, and can care for any age, ranging from puppies to senior care. I go to the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital for the day and rotate through different specialties every 2 weeks. My hours vary depending on the rotation and day, but I usually have enough time before and after to feed/care for the animals I watch. I can stay at the house with pets or board pets for people depending on their temperament. I have a fenced yard, and there are no other pets in my house. The yard is big enough for going outside to potty/run around. I also have a trail right by my house where I can take dogs on walks/runs and have my own room where the animal(s) I watch can stay.

“I haven’t left Kaia with a sitter in years. I originally was so nervous to leave her. Mya relieved my worries with daily messages and pictures of her and Kaia. I was very pleased!”

About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! (Of the same type i.e. dog/dog or cat/cat). If you have any questions please reach out and ask about certain policies or pricing rates I try to be as accommodating as possible! I have pet-friendly resident pets, including a happy-go-lucky dog named Bear and a relaxed cat named Bowie. Also have the means to keep all animals seperated if your pet doesn't enjoy companions! For cat boarding I have a seperate cat room setup where your companion/s can enjoy a fresh water fountain, a cat tower, many cat toys, and a personal litterbox during their stay. For dog boarding I require a meet and greet to make sure your dog/s are compatible with mine, for doggy day-care it isn't necessary as I can keep them seperate. Regardless of compatibility I take animals safety very seriously and your pet/s will never be left unsupervised with any of other animals during their time in my care. I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

“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!!!”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

About: I’ve raised two energetic Huskies from puppies, so I’m no stranger to active breeds! Growing up, I also took care of a loving Golden Retriever, and have been walking and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime, I provide dedicated and reliable care. I now live in a house with fenced backyard + dog park. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide lots of attention to your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for daily care or walks. I have a spacious, fenced yard, perfect for your dog to play and explore safely. My two friendly Huskies are great company for social dogs, and I’m equipped with crates if your dog needs a safe and quiet space to rest.

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”

“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!”
