Dog Boarding Gaviota

“Echo had another wonderful stay with Aty! I had zero worries while I was at a quarterly training out of town. Echo always has so much fun and he even got a bath before pickup. 10/10!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I feel a very deep and natural connection with them. I have a soft spot for pets who need extra love and patience, including blind dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, understood, and at peace. I also offer gentle Reiki for animals if they need extra calm, balance, or emotional support. Because I work online, I can spend the whole day with your pet—keeping them company, giving them lots of love, and making sure they always feel safe and cared for. I truly love what I do and treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, calm energy, and lots of affection. I work online, which allows me to spend the whole day caring for your pet. Your furry friend will have constant companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure their space is comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I supervise pets at all times, provide gentle guidance, and respect their individual needs and personalities. Your furry friend will always feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Brittany is amazing! She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and needs to watch our pup the night of our wedding. Brittany is a true dog lover with immense compassion and can tell where your dog's comfort zone is, and if/when they're comfortable being eased out of it into something new. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone in a heartbeat--your fur-baby is in excellent hands!”

“Shalon was the best dog sitter ever! We could tell our dog was super happy with Shalon and became part of her family while at Shalon’s house. She sent photos of their daily walks and of our dog sleeping on her bed. We knew our fur baby was safe and sound while with Shalon.”

“Such a kind and lovely family! They took wonderful care of Beans. We will definitely reach out in the future next time we’re in the area! Thank you!!!”

“We are extremely pleased with care Lynn and Marty provided to our dog. Diego was very sad when he got home after one week staying with them. He refused his food and looked like he was missing them! The environment is safe, huge backyard, constant supervision. They are my first choice for next booking”

“Mary took excellent care of Lexi while we went on a family vacation. Her daily updates with photos were great, and our pup really enjoyed hanging out with Mary's dogs. Mary is super responsive in communicating and is a caring, responsible pet-sitter. Our dog had the best time! I highly recommend Mary and we will definitely use her services again!”

“We were really nervous about boarding our chihuahua, Paulie Walnuts, but Kyle and Sara are so patient and really relaxed. Turns out, our little "cute, but psycho" old man had a great time! We received many wonderful pictures and videos of him having a good time walking, playing, and most of all chilling. When we needed an extra day/night due to an out-of-town emergency, we were lucky enough that they were able to keep Paulie Walnuts a little longer. What a relief. They came through in a pinch for us and it's greatly appreciated. We knew we didn't have to worry one bit. This was a great experience overall, and we highly recommend Kyle and Sara for your pet boarding needs. We'd definitely use their services again. Thank you so much for giving our little man such great care ❤️”

“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”

“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”

“Jeanine is the best! She was so accommodating in letting Callie meet her doggies ahead of time. Callie has separation anxiety and had never been away from my for a night, and Jeanine made her feel right at home. Callie is looking forward to her next vacation at Jeanine’s :)”
