Dog Boarding Elder Homestead

“Maellen is a dream! She sent pictures and videos every day and took the best care of our little pugs. Highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again (Jeffery and Waffles miss her already!). Thank you!!”

“Courtnay will give you peace of mind when you leave your precious doggo with her. She provided daily updates/pics of my boy, and I loved how he had friends while he stayed by her so he got a little bit of socialization with the other dogs (they had a time). Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed a connecting flight and came in later than expected. She kept my boy for a few extra hours and really helped me out. Will definitely be booking again in the near future!”

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”

“Mark is a dog lover. He is a kind and gentle man who took very good care of my dog while I was helping a friend move to ABQ from Wisconsin. He provided updates along the way and an honest assessment of my dogs behavior. I appreciate him very much and would gladly recommend him to others. Mark made me feel comfortable and provided the same level of care to my dog that I do. Thank you Mark. I will always appreciate what you have done for me.”

“Super awesome with my pup -received tons of updates! My flight got delayed and Cindy was super flexible in letting him stay an extra night. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.

“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”

“Lifesavers! Had a last minute boarding need for my pup and they were available! My boy had a good time playing with the other dogs there and I can tell he was in good hands! Thank you both so much!!”

Mattea L.

“Lionel and Jingjing were great. They're very responsive, and agreed to a meetup ahead of the booking. They sent me pictures of my dog showing she was happy and comfortable. And my dog seemed very happy when I picked her up. Will book again!”

Melissa S.

“Our boys had a great time during their stay! Mina and Hannah were very accommodating, friendly, and caring. We really appreciated how well they took care of our dogs. We’ll definitely consider boarding with them again!”

Oscar A.

“Melissa and Carlos are amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with the care Watson received. We received several pictures daily throughout the week. They took him on walks and just treated him with so much love. When we picked him up they said if he wasn’t in such a loving home they would want to keep him. They went beyond out expectations. We look forward to his next stay.”

Aubrey K.

“Emily is an incredible sitter. I get daily updates, I know my dog Kahlúa is safe and happy, and she comes home so tired from all the play and exercise she’s knocked out for the next two days. It’s a win-win!”

Danielle M.

“Hossanna took such good care of my deaf and special needs dog. I appreciated the photo updates and didn’t worry at all while I was out of town.”

Audra J.

“You will be able to tell right away that Debbie loves dogs. She took good care of my dog. He came back tired and happy. She checked in with me to let me know that everything was going well.”

Dylan B.

“Bonni took great care of my 15-pound dog and she sent me several cute pictures. Bonni also graciously refunded a portion of my booking fee when I decided, with short notice, to bring my dog a day later than I originally planned. Overall, great experience and I knew my dog was in good hands so I didn't have to worry during my trip. Bonni also did a meet-and-greet before the stay so that my dog would be familiar with her home.”

Priscilla M.

“My fur baby absolutely loved her time with Hannah! She cared for her as I would. I would 100% recommend Hannah and her pet sitting services! Thank you Hannah was taking such phenomenal care of my baby!”

Ashley G.

“Marissa has watched Hera 3 times now and it has always gone great, my dog always seems to have lots of fun with hers. Marrisa has been very accommodating with last minute plans of mine or changes to my schedule and I know my dog is happy and safe with her. I have no doubt I’ll be contacting her again the next time I go away without my dog.”

Patrick L.

“Thank you for being the best dog sitter ever! Milo really enjoyed his time with you and your pups. He’s already looking forward to his next stay with you!”

Krista B.

“We had to choose a different dog sitter right before our trip and Doug was available short notice. He took good care of Cody and we would definitely recommend him!”
