Dog Boarding Gordola

About: I have been taking care of my Labradoodle Mokka for the last 7 years! We have grown up together and she’s taught me so much. I helped train her when she was a puppy, and still help her daily now after she’s grown up. Along with that I have spent time around many different dog breeds amd sizes, and I have yet to find a dog that I can’t get along with. I love to walk , cuddle, and play with these pups any chance I get! Although I currently am in high school, I have time almost everyday after school. I am very flexible, so most times after around 3 works perfect for me! If a problem comes up, I will push to find a solution that is best for the client and myself. Overnight dog sitting or house sitting will not be possible except on weekends, because of school. I’m a very diligent person, and I follow directions carefully. I will give each client 100 % effort, both the owners and their loving pets. I want the pets to feel safe and comfortable, because that is my top priority. Although I will be responsible and careful with all my clients, I will make sure the animals are happy and recirving tons of love as well!

“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”

About: My husband and I love dogs.... when our beloved Yorkie died a few years ago and we retired early from city government, we decided to focus our love on caring for other people's dogs in their homes. We now have several on-going sit relationships in central California and are happy to have so many dogs in our lives that feel like grand babies to us! If you're interested in establishing an on-going relationship with us, to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible when you have to leave town, hit us up! Our preference is to work with 1 or 2 older/more relaxed dogs, that can be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. We lean towards being home bodies, but we enjoy going on walks/outtings, having play time and lots of snuggles. If we seem like a simpatico match to care for your pup, please reach out for our availability! We have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs/timing with plenty of notice. We enjoy exploring new areas and are happy to have your dogs show us all their favorite spots to hang out! Rather than upend your dog's routine on top of you being out of town, we will come to you! We are willing/able to handle any morning/evening routines (food/water, oral meds, walks, potty needs) and your dog can sleep with us if so inclined.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Trixie during our recent travels. You two are the best! It's hard for us to leave Trixie, but we are always comfortable leaving her with you. And I think she settles in with you quite well! Best, Judith & Mike”

About: I've owned dogs since childhood, often multiples at a time, and I've done dog sitting for friends and a few clients, so I'm comfortable with everything from mellow seniors to a livelier small pack. I know how to read dog body language and moods, which comes from decades of hands-on experience. I'm a former teacher with 20+ years working with kids and teens, and I now run my own coaching practice. That background makes me patient, attentive, and calm even when things get chaotic. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around it. On weekday mornings I usually head out for a short hike, so dogs get that outdoor time built right into the start of the day. Beyond that, they're checked on frequently and spend time with me throughout the day; whether I'm at my desk or tending the garden. Evenings and weekends tend to be even more hands-on, with more outside time and trail walks nearby if it's a good fit for the dog. Dogs in my care stay on our fully fenced 1+ acre property in the Santa Cruz Mountains (Bonny Doon), so there's plenty of secure space to roam and play without being near roads. We have our own friendly dog, plus two indoor/outdoor cats, so dogs need to be comfortable around other animals. Crating is available if that's part of your dog's routine or preferred by you. Just let me know and I'll set it up accordingly. I keep a close eye on food, water, and any specific routines or instructions owners share with me, and I'm comfortable handling medications or special needs if discussed in advance.

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.

“Erica was great! My dog, Penny, seemed at ease with her from the get-go. Erica kept me informed throughout the experience. Pre-booking meet went well with her dog, and then the actual 2-day booking seemed to be problem-free, with several walk photos throughout her stay. Would definitely use Erica again!”

About: Hey dog parents! I cannot WAIT to meet your pup! I am attentive, patient, flexible, and super loving! I'll abide by your pup's routines, and will focus on any necessary training, if requested. Long distance, or slow and steady for the elders and the sniffers. Huge fan of beach time. I am an excellent and considerate house-sitter. I can board small/medium dogs at my place, but love to get to know the pup before hosting them. I am currently on the job hunt, so l am available full-time. When a dog is around, they get most of my attention. I also have an amazing partner who adores dogs, so double the attention! I spend a lot of time outdoors, so having a pup around just makes that even better. I am currently on the job hunt, so I am available full-time. When a dog is around, they get most of my attention.

About: I have been a full-time house & pet sitter since April 2023. I've bounced around Colorado, California, and a few other cities across the southwest. Growing up I always had 3-4 pets in my household and I want to continue sharing that love to animals everywhere. I lived with a number of pets ranging from dogs, indoor + outdoor cats, reptiles, hamsters, and birds. The husky in my photos is Lola. She travels with me everywhere and accompanies me on house sits. I have an extremely flexible remote working schedule that allows for peace of mind for pet owners. I can visit your furry friends on multiple occasions on a single day or multiple times a week. I'm happy to abide by any needs or desires of owners have while visiting their place of residence. Can send numerous pics and videos if requested.

“Hannah did a great job taking care of Lady, making sure she had her medicine and managing her food allergy. Lady loved exploring the trails near Hannah's house!”

About: Since youth, taking care of animals has always been a significant part of my life. From experiences of hamsters to dogs and to my grandparents, nurturing and deeply loving the smile it brings to my face has always caused me to continue for the many years that I have experienced. Back home, I have a 7 year old beagle who I truly miss spending time with and taking care of while away at college which is why I believe I can use my assets in taking care for the animals near my in my apartment in Santa Cruz. I am currently a college student at Santa Cruz with a means to transportation and can definitely fit pet care into my weekly routine due to my highly developed skill of managing my time efficiently and simply being a responsible adult. I have a lot of experience with a runaway pet who loves to try and escape so I am careful when entering and leaving my apartment.

“Highly recommended! Madhumita was very responsive, took great care of Maui (my 5 year old golden retriever) and provided regular updates along with photos and videos. I’ll be sure to avail her services in the future.”

“My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

Gemma R.

“Norelvis was amazing with my dog, kind, attentive, and truly caring. I got updates and photos that showed my dog was happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was clearly well loved and cared for. I’ll definitely book with Norelvis again!”

“Taryn made our trip SUPER easy both picking up and dropping off our doggo. Pan seemed completely comfortable and happy with her stay. Recommend x 1000”

Blaine S.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Juliana provided! She watched our three doodles for over a week, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. She kept us updated regularly, and it was obvious our dogs were not only well cared for but truly enjoyed their stay. Handling three doodles takes patience and experience, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We came home to happy, relaxed pups—which says it all. Highly recommend!”
