Dog Boarding Gateway

“As always… we loved having Zhian watch Bo and all the pictures and communication, made our time away from him so smooth because we can tell Bo was always so happy and enjoying and feels right at home. Thank you so much for all the love and care. Bo misses you already and is looking forward to next time!”

“I’ve left a review before, but I feel like I need to leave another one for Maggie! She’s lovely and cariño. Our dogs LOVE her, and we feel so comfortable leaving them at her place when we’re out of town. We receive a bunch of pics and updates (which is always reassuring), and we truly believe our pups are disappointed to leave with us sometimes, hahaha. She does daycare with a few other doggies, which is great socialization for them too. :) We’ve been so lucky to have found her. She’s cared for our babies a few times already, and she’s our #1 option every time. Gracias, Maggie!”

“Chris was awesome! My pup got to frequently play at the dog park and I was given frequent pictures and updates. My girl looked like she was having such a great time that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home 😊. I will definitely use Chris again.”

“Jin was a wonderful sitter! Great attention to detail, lots of pics and most importantly, at the end of his stay we picked up a very happy pup. Will absolutely request her for future stays!”

“So amazing. Ashley has a big back yard and lots of friendly dogs to keep ours happy. Followed all instructions from us and sent lots of photos and videos that made us happy. Great communication. I know Zion loved his time there”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for the past 15 years! I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for my family dog and have also cared for several dogs through Rover alongside my girlfriend. I’m a very active person and love going on walks throughout the day. If your dog enjoys exercise, I’m happy to take them on 30–45 minute walks, 2–4 times a day, depending on their needs and energy level. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, keeping them happy, active, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and you can count on me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your dog attention throughout the day. I already enjoy taking walks during my breaks, so having a furry companion join me makes it even better! I also have the flexibility to visit your home for walks, feeding, check-ins, or whatever your dog may need. I’m happy to incorporate exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention into my daily routine while making sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where dogs can feel right at home. I have a large, comfortable bean bag for them to lounge on, and they’re welcome to sleep in my room near me if that’s what they’re used to. There’s also a dog park nearby, plenty of opportunities for exercise and playtime, and your pup will always have supervision and companionship. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maria. This was the first time I boarded my puppy with anyone and she was so sweet and sent me pictures and notes each day. Atlas came home a very happy boy. I will definitely use Maria’s services again. She was a blessing for our family.”

“Jacob is the absolute best!! I have an Aussie Shepherd - so by default high energy and needs attention/mental stimulation - and she’s got some anxiety. Jacob takes her pic care of her, sends check ins daily, uses all the tips we gave him, and Kyra is excited to stay there every time. Jacob even helped us out when our latest trip was late by a whole day. Can’t recommend Jacob enough!!!”

Francisco D.

“I’m always BLOWN away by the love and care she shows my sweet Remi! She treats her like she is own and Remi LOVES going to stay with her! I am so lucky to have found sweet Aimee!”

Taylor W.

“Arfa always takes excellent care of my dog Mili! Mili seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Arfa sent pictures of Mili through her stay so I could see her pretty much every day when we were away on our trip. Highly recommend Arfa!!”

Shivani D.

“Mariia was awesome with Noelle! She kept me updated every day with photos and little check-ins, which I really appreciated. Noelle had just had some teeth removed the week before, and Mariia made sure she was comfy and taken care of. Super sweet and reliable — I’d definitely book her again!”

Andrea H.

“Merritt was super awesome with Ari! I dropped my dog off for a couple of days while I was out of town and Merritt was sending me photos of my dog :) She has such a calm energy, which allowed my dog to feel immediately comfortable in the space. Thank you so much :D”

Jennifer G.

“Lindsay and Garett are hands down the best sitters I have ever used for Oreo. I still can’t believe my luck that our paths crossed! Oreo’s usual sitter had to cancel on us 2 weeks out from my vacation and Lindsay was so kind and sensitive with the situation and very responsive, which was much appreciated given how panicked I was. During the stay, they sent daily updates with cute photos and even videos here and there. With each update, I could tell Oreo was happy and having a blast. I felt so at ease my whole trip knowing they were taking great care of Oreo. I can’t say enough good things about them. I will definitely be using them again!”

Dana G.

“Natalie was so perfect with Frankie! She was extremely responsive, great communication, sent pictures and updates, and was so welcoming to Frankie. He and had a great time with his new friend Zoey on walks and was a tired boy when I picked him up at the end of the weekend. Highly recommend!”

About: Work From Home • No Other Pets • Big Yard • 1 Client At a Time • 25 Years Experience I have been a pet owner (both cats and dogs) my entire life and I know what it's like to leave your baby with someone while you go away. It can be stressful and make you worry a bit! However, when you board your pet with me in my home, my promise to you (and them) is to make them (and you) feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. I work from home so I will be here with your pet. You don't have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I will update you as much as you want with photos and detailed daily summaries. And most importantly, I’ll work with you to recreate your routine in my home, from meal times to walk schedules to bedtime habits, so the transition feels as seamless as possible. Your pet will have my undivided attention. After my dear 15 year old dog Stella passed recently, there are no other animals in my home, and I only take one client at a time, so your pet will never be boarded alongside anyone else’s. I have a large fenced-in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood, so there’s plenty of room for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and relaxed strolls. Some more info about me: • Red Cross certified in Pet CPR and First Aid • Fostered 50+ puppies and kittens, many with medical and behavioral needs • I've had three cats and two dogs of my own which I cared for into very old age • Comfortable giving medications • Experienced with very young and senior animals • Happy to care for everyone from mellow couch potatoes to high-energy dogs Sound like a good fit? Send me a message to check my availability. I'll ask you to choose a time for a virtual meeting so we can just put faces to names. Then we can meet in person at my home. This helps in multiple ways: • You can see where your pet will be staying. No part of my house is off limits. If the pet can go into a room, so can you. • The pet can see where they will be staying. When they show up for the second time when you drop them off, they will be less anxious and stressed out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am an artist and a freelancer that works from home. I am a true homebody and love being in my home. Aside from infrequent errands or a few hour outing, I will be with your pet in my home. I have a small ranch style home with a large securely fenced backyard. Pets are allowed on all furniture (if you allow it). My house is animal proofed with very little that pets can "get into". All backyard visits will be supervised. My neighborhood is very walkable for walks during nice weather.

“Farheen was so kind to my cats. It was their first time being boarded, and I was really nervous. They were understandably scared, so I picked them up early, but she still checked in afterward to see how they were doing. While they were in her care, she was attentive, communicative, and nurturing. She kept me updated on their eating and drinking habits and made sure they felt comfortable in her home. I highly recommend Farheen for any pet care services!”

Ashley H.

“Ashely and Tyler were great with our dog! They sent updates and treated him like he was part of the family. Their sweet dog and Ollie got along so well also. We will definitely use them again when we are out of town!”

Savannah & Sebastián Y.

“This was our first time using Rover for a pet sitter. Super easy process and Victor and Yisel were VERY quick to respond and watch our pups for us short notice when we were headed out of town for a few days. The sent pics and sent pics home which are totally adorable! Highly recommend them for watching your pets. Thank you both again!!!”

A W.

“Colleen was absolutely amazing and Remy had a blast. Pictures were sent daily, videos as well, and Colleen made sure to update me on how he was doing. He seemed to really get along with their dog, too. I will definitely use her again when the need arrises and I highly recommend her for boarding.”

Bryce W.

“Janie was amazing with our dog, Romeo! She was patient, loving and communicative. He’s elderly and she opened her home and took such great care of him. We would love to work with her again!”
