Dog Boarding Downtown Core

“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.

“Jessie was wonderful to work with! She happily met Maisey and me for a meet and greet before I booked. She took care of my shy, scared rescue puppy for the first time she had been away from me. Jessie rose to the challenges my girl presented. She sent photo updates and responded to my nervous dog mom messages. I absolutely trust Jessie and it gave me comfort to know Maisey was with her and well taken care of while I was far away!”

“Love XingYuan!! Thins was my dog’s second time with her and I can tell he adores her. She takes great care of him and sends lots of cute updates.”

“Ann took great care of my mom’s dog Crash while my mom was out of town, and Ann was able to accommodate us with only a few days notice. Crash seemed very happy with his stay. Definitely recommend Ann!”

About: I have taken care of about 100 individual dogs staying overnight at my home. Their age ranges from 4 months to 16 years. Their weight ranges from 10 to 130 lbs. I make every walk a meditation for me and the dog(s). I work on multiple part-time jobs from home with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I walk dogs four times per day if the weather allows. I fulfill dogs’ needs for physical and mental exercise by walking. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have two kids to keep your pets accompanied. I have the knowledge for pet caring given my extensive experience.

“I’m a repeat customer. My very active terrier comes home happy and exhausted (my favorite combination!), so I know she had lots of play time. When we returned the second time she was pulling at the leash like crazy right out of the car, excited to get into that dog-friendly yard and run around.”

“Ally was so caring and communicative, we felt very comfortable with our pup, Eva, in her care! Many appropriate experiences and outings to make for an interesting time during Eva’s stay, and pictures for us to enjoy during our own trip. Thank you so much!”

Brian H.

“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 !”

Beena P.

“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!”

Steven S.

“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!”

Malia H.

“Eva was friendly, creating the booking was easy as she is responsive and accommodated my times. My cat seemed to have enjoyed her stay and was walking around casually when I went to pick her up.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. Through long-term ownership, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, understand daily routines, and respond calmly to different situations. I have a fixed class schedule during the day, but I am available outside of class hours for pet care services. I clearly communicate my availability in advance so owners know exactly when I can provide care and support. I focus on providing responsible and reliable care for the pets I do accept, and I always follow owner instructions to ensure safety, consistency, and clear expectations

“I highly recommend Pandi and her husband Tim. They both work from home and we’re very attentive to the details of my dog’s care. Their two school-age kids and little dog Scruffy made for a fun, active stay. I appreciated the photos and updates too.”

Jill Y.

“They were amazing! Always sending updates and making sure to send pictures. Pika had the best time and I felt so safe and comfortable, leaving her in such good hands.”

Caitlin A.

“We let Kathleen know that it was Clyde’s first bday and she sent us adorable pics with him and honey wearing birthday hats while having a small bday party! He was there for 10 days and Kathleen was super accommodating with last minute plans! Thanks again!”

“Sandra was wonderful as my husband was in the hospital and I was so worried.”

About: Hi! I’m a UC Davis student and passionate animal lover. I have my own cat and 3 years of experience volunteering with pet rescues and animal shelters, where I helped many dogs find loving homes. I’m experienced with dog walking, handling different temperaments, and providing patient, attentive care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular routine and can accommodate different feeding, walking, and play schedules. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and relax. I also have my own friendly cat, so I’m experienced with pets in the home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and prioritize their pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates during their stay.

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.

“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!”

Irma J.

“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.”
