Dog Boarding in Encino, CA

“Alex and her family created a loving and nurturing environment for Snowy during our time away. Through the daily pictures she sent, it was evident that Snowy was not only in good health but also genuinely content. Not only did I have an amazing trip, but Snowy also made some wonderful new companions. A heartfelt thank you to Alex for her exceptional care!”

“Barbara is my go to sitter for Finley. He loves her and loves to play with her pup too. Barbara is the best and we would be lost without her!”

“What to say! Melissa and Christopher couldn’t have taken better care of our high maintenance dogs. We will 100% be using them again in the future! We received daily photos and videos, the dogs were clearly happy and well cared for and were a little surprised to be leaving. One of our dogs has separation anxiety but Melissa and Chris worked around this so that our dogs were never left alone which took a huge mental load off of our minds and allowed us to actually enjoy our trip instead of worrying about the dogs. Thank you so so much!”

“As always, our Q was excited to see Renata. That just makes me feel that she is in good hands. Renata cares and that just brings us back when we need to leave Q for few days.”

“Anastasia did a great job taking care of Matilda! She was very sweet with her, I appreciated all the photos and updates. Matilda has some separation anxiety from me, but I could tell that she was comfortable with Anastasia and that she got lots of attention :) Thank you again!”

About: Hi! My name is Reneè and here's a little information about me. I grew up in Hawaii with Aloha (also means love & compassion besides hello & goodbye) teachings. Throughout my lifetime, I've been surrounded by many different animals: dogs, cats, birds and even a chinchilla. After I moved to L.A., I started working for Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital. I started as a receptionist at the front desk and overtime started training as a vet tech. During that time, I also started pet sitting, which turned into a full time career till this day. I've volunteered for the Bill Foundation Rescue and have opened my home to many rescue dogs. I have learned from my professional and personal experiences on how to care for special needs pups (all ages) and ones that need medicines or injections (insulin or allergy). I am a full time pet sitter with over 25 years experience. I'm home to care for your pup (all ages) 24 hours a day. I'm located in Sherman Oaks and have opened my home for boarding and daycare. My house has a secure yard for some outdoor play and potty breaks. All outdoor outings are chaperoned. My home would be your fur babies home away from home. Where your loved one will be treated like 'OHANA (family).

“Sadie was great! It was my first time leaving my dog with a person who wasn't family and Sadie made us feel comfortable off the bat. Sadie was attentive to her routine, was patient, and made sure my doggy felt safe and supported. Will definitely work with her again. Highly recommend.”

“Our two Frenchies had an amazing stay with Sean. We were in the midst of a move out and needed care for a few nights! Sean was extremely responsive, sent pictures and our dogs loved their stay. We are very thankful to have found Sean and recommend to anyone who needs care for their pups!”

“Ori was fantastic, our pup can be a difficult diva but got along well with Ori, she sent plenty of photos every day, responded quickly to texts, and let us know how our dog was getting on and along with the other dogs. Truly was a nice vacation for our dog while we were able to go on vacation, and we are very thankful for Ori, would definitely book again”

“Andres was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog Maggie. He is kind, professional, and communicative. He gave us frequent updates with photos and had no problem giving her oral medications multiple times a day. She was very comfortable with him and we have already booked him for another stay.”

“We got married this past weekend and Emma did a great job taking care of our 8 month old goldendoodle, Bear. We know he can be a handful and we are so grateful for the photos she sent to ease any worries during our wedding weekend! Thank you for being so responsive, caring and kind!”

“Erin is awesome with Percy! We feel so comfortable leaving Percy in her care. Erin has the cutest dog, Kobe, also which is a major bonus! Thank you for all of the communication and the great care you take of Percy! Can’t wait till next time 🤩.”

“I was a bit sad when I lost my LONG time Rover sitter that I LOVED and had to find a new one, but man was I wrong to worry. From the very beginning Adrianna was responsive and helpful, sweet and kind. She answered all my questions and even did a meet and greet. Her sweet Parisian voice was so calming and sweet and I knew she really cares about the babies she watches. Then came the actual visit. Again, super responsive and she sent tons of videos and pics daily of my dog. She made sure he was taken care of and she was always present and never left new dogs alone to fight or have issues. My dog was so happy when I picked him up and I already booked my next stay with her right when I got home as that is how happy and confident I am with her. I’m super picky and my dog is my baby so if I will book again so quickly, it’s because she is truly amazing! Highly recommend her for your next sitter.”

“Edison was simply wonderful with my dog. They both kept me updated with plenty of pictures. Their home was very clean and pet friendly and they were very communicative. I will be making sure to book my next dog sit with them. Thank you both so much.”

Edgar S.

“This was Capote’s 2nd stay with Ashton and Jay, and judging by the many photos we welcomed from them while we were away, it’s clear he was yet again very comfortable and loved by them. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of our little baby potato ball. THANK YOU, you both are wonderful and we really appreciate you!!! Until next time!!! ❤️”

“Nicole and Darren are the kindest, most loving, genuine and conscientious people you’ll meet. They took amazing care of my boy, who was recovering from an injury and has a difficult time emotionally when I’m away. Everything that came up was addressed with clear and open communication, understanding and flexibility. Very professional, but also so empathetic. A rare and precious combo! Orpheus and I can’t thank you enough!! ❤️”

About: I have owned and have been around dogs my whole life! My Aunt owns a daycare/boarding company that I spent every summer at when growing up, learning everything there is to know about caring for different types of dogs, young. old, sick, aggressive, ect. I had a dog of my own until he passed away last year at the age of 14. I miss having a dog so badly, but things are a bit too in flux in my life to be ready to fully commit to adopting another dog. So I remember how hard it always was to find a sitter when we would go out of town or have a day where we would be out 12+ hours, and thought this could be a great way to scratch my itch for having a dog and also help people out who need good care for the fur babies! I have looked after pretty much all of my friends dogs on a regular basis here and they all say how happy their dogs were here compared to other places! I work from home all week so I am home with the animals all day and all night on the weekdays! Weekdays are definitely the best days for me to watch fur babies, but can watch weekends too, just check my calendar, I will always keep it very up to date! I want to keep my prices low as to make care not so difficult and bank breaking to find. If you suddenly need to extend your trip and your care, I might not always be able to accommodate, but I will make sure you know my availability before we book, and I will never make new plans if a booking is already set. I can take last min bookings if my schedule allows it, but you have a better chance booking more in advance! I have a 10 year old cat, she doesn't love dogs, but she mostly keeps to herself on high perches when they are around and stalks around the house at night when were sleeping. If your dog leaves her alone, then they end up peaceful with each other after a few days. Good around cats is required, if your dog likes to chase cats than we are not a good fit. Otherwise I have a big fenced in backyard that the dogs love to run around in and play with toys! Most of the time I just open the back door and let them come in and out of the house as they please! When it comes to talking neighborhood walks, I don't like walking dogs that are under 30lbs, or are too old to run, for fear of being stalked by wild animals like coyotes. I barely ever see them around here (and there is no way for them to get in our backyard), but it only takes once to see one out in the neighborhood to put tiny or older dogs in danger! I would rather run around in the backyard with smaller and elderly dogs.

“Eric is not just a sitter, she is Auntie Erica to my 3.5 year old high energy, curious, spastic German Shorthaired Pointer. I had to make a new profile but she has been sitting for my pup numerous times over the past year, and she has been a lifesaver to me. My pup has separation anxiety so I order for me to do anything social, he needs a sitter. Auntie Erica is no ordinary sitter- she is like Disneyland for dogs- she gives every dog she watches so much love, attention, and the adventures! Dog puzzles, one on one play time, dog parks or hikes, exercise, stimulation, endless ball fetches, cuddles, love and so much more. She is a “responsible adult” and I feel absolutely confident that LeeRoy is safe and happy with her (I mention this because not all sitters are “adults” and can handle any situation maturely). I have zero guilt leaving LeeRoy in her care, because honestly she gives him the time and energy that I cannot always provide due to my busy work schedule. She is a staple in his life and truly contributes so much to his wellbeing and happiness. She goes above and beyond every time to enrich her pup’s lives. She cares so much about each pup, which is why I consider her an auntie vs just a sitter. There are not enough words to express how amazing she is, and I am forever grateful to have found her. She is a true gem, a unicorn, LeeRoy’s favorite play partner and Auntie.”
