Dog Boarding Guernewood Park

“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my baby, Bella. They sent me updates with pictures of her to help me feel better, as it was the first time I left her. She's a newly adopted dog. Lauren reassured me that Bella would be ok. She was! I highly recommend Lauren to watch your four legged baby.n”

“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”

About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.

“Our dog had a great time!”

“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”

“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”

About: As full-time work from home professionals, we offer consistent, all-day presence and attentive companionship for pets at every stage of life. Our single-story home is thoughtfully arranged for safety and low-impact mobility with pet ramps set up throughout, making it an ideal, stress-free environment for dogs with back, joint, or mobility sensitivities. Drawing on years of experience with senior and hospice care, we are completely comfortable and proficient with oral medications, eye/ear drops, supplements, and time-sensitive daily health routines. Whether your dog thrives on active play or simply wants a quiet spot in the sun next to a desk, we maintain a calm, flexible routine tailored entirely to your pet's needs. I work from home, so I typically have wide availability for furry friends to come visit. I can't think of anything better than having a dog with us as we work from home. Patience and good vibes abound in our home, as we've spent the past several years caring for two older dogs. Ramps on stairs and couches/beds for dogs with back, joint or mobility issues..

“Roxy had a grand time— we know this because of all the videos Debby shared each day and because Roxy at first refused to leave when we picked her up. Outstanding dog person in every way!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. My first was Jackson, a 150-pound Alaskan Malamute who knocked me over daily, so big, strong, high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. Today I have three of my own, all friendly, loving, and good with other dogs, including Baxter, a 9-year-old who takes daily medication. Senior dog care and keeping to a medication schedule are part of my routine. I’m also a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and certified EMT. I’ve worked alongside military working dogs in Afghanistan, and I’ve administered IVs and handled emergencies under pressure. If your dog gets hurt or sick, I stay calm, act fast, and get them to a vet right away. Outside Rover, I regularly care for a lab puppy and a senior Shih Tzu on seizure medication, so I’m comfortable with puppy energy and with seniors who need extra attention and exact medication timing. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and an honest report on how your dog did. I treat every dog like family. I’m home all day, so your dog is never alone for long. Days include a morning walk, midday play and potty breaks, an afternoon walk, and plenty of downtime with me on the couch. Being here all day means I catch small changes fast, like a skipped meal or restlessness. I give my own senior dog his medication on schedule daily, so exact timing is routine. It’s a great fit for active dogs, puppies, and seniors who do best with company. I do a calm meet-and-greet first, so every dog is comfortable before a stay. At my place (boarding and day care): Your dog gets the run of a cozy, happy house with my three friendly pups, and we start with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels at home. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same food, same schedule, same medications. The backyard has a good-sized grass patch and a tall wooden fence, perfect for running, sniffing, and soaking up the sun. I love setting up sniff drills and treat puzzles for a happy, tired pup, and two parks within three blocks make walks easy and fun. At your place (drop-ins and walks): I follow your dog’s routine for meals, water, potty breaks, a walk, and plenty of play. Either way: You’ll get photos and a quick rundown of how your dog’s day went. I’m situationally aware and if anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away and get your dog to a vet if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety come first.

About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.

About: Hello animal lovers - I have benefitted from Rover for dog sitting and realize it's something I'd love to do myself. My husband (a social worker) and I are both dog lovers and have a dog (a Frenchie) as well. I work from home (I run a marketing agency I started 12 year ago) and alas much of typical day I'm on zoom, and treasure the breaks for walking and loving on the dogs. While new to Rover, if been helping out friends and neighbors with dog care and logistics and sharing the love for years I'm reliable, work from home, and would love to know how you could use some help. Currently offering to sit or board one dog at a time or arrange prescheduled walks. I'll treat them like family. Comfortable with dogs of many sizes and personalities, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Our dog Fiona, a frenchie, plays well with others and has some unique needs including no rough play + daily medicine needs so we're familiar with special rules and medical needs. We do a morning walk, a mid day walk, an "after work" walk and a before bed walk. I work from home so am genrrally around all day. While flexible, I imagine at least initially the primary offering will be to host and care for your dog at our place but am open to house sitting if there's a great fit, I work from home. I can host your dog weekdays and weekends but know on weekends we may have friends (and sometimes friends with dogs) stop by. We have a fenced in deck otherwise for excercise we take leashed walks. I currently am only offering care in my own home and plan to only host one additional dog overnight at a time. Ask me any questions you'd like.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was fifteen, but I have had different animals all throughout my life. From birds, to cats, and dogs of all sizes I have had a lot of personal experience. Some of my duties included feeding, walking, bathing, grooming (for personal pets), and attention to medical needs. I have a big heart for pets and wish to give them care and support as they do us! I don’t currently have any pets, but I do tend to dog sit for my aunt. I currently work as a caregiver and for an after school program for youth. On my days off, I would love to help with pets. As stated above I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but for my aunt’s dog I take him on walks, feed him, keep him hydrated (especially with summer bringing in heat), there’s always play time and he gets a bath before he goes back home. I am very open to all needs of both the pet and the owner.

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

“Stacie was so communicative, friendly, and understanding. She sent me pictures daily of my girl, and was so kind in all of her messages. Her family is incredibly loving. I can’t wait for her to watch my girl again in the future because I know that she’s in capable and safe hands!”

“Michael and Casey juggled their calendar so we could go to Hawaii and took great care of Lacey as well. Lacey was happy playing in the back yard with the other dogs, as well as taking daily walks. Additionally, I got lots of photos and news regularly. Michael and Casey will be caring for Lacey for our next trip as well—already booked!”

“Steven was so kind and helpful. I had never used Rover before and I feel I was blessed to find him. He sent pictures anytime I checked in and clearly took great care of my dog Lewis. Perfect location for if you use the airport bus service. Got off the bus and picked my pup up in 10 minutes.”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since childhood, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for pets is second nature to me. Since moving to the U. S. 20 years ago, I’ve looked after friends and neighbors’ dogs, including diabetic and senior pups that need extra love and attention. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m a UCLA nursing student currently doing clinical hours only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the day. That means I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and long walks. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer stays, I can easily fit pet care into my schedule and make sure your pup feels loved and cared for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I have a fenced yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. I also stick closely to their usual schedule. No matter the place, your pet gets consistent, loving care.

“Amazing care and wonderful person! Very attentive and truly passionate about the care she gives to her animals Ellen is awesome and we will use her every time!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it's going on walks, playing, exploring outdoors, or simply keeping them company. As an occupational therapist, I have a naturally patient, attentive, and caring personality. I'm comfortable adapting to different needs, respecting individual routines, and providing gentle, attentive care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Your furry family member's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my priority! I would love to make your dog's day a little brighter with walks, playtime, and lots of affection! I maintain a consistent weekly routine, which allows me to plan my time and provide reliable, attentive pet care. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active, so incorporating dog walking and playtime into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to. I'm happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting schedules in advance to make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I value being dependable and respecting each pet's individual routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to understand each pet's personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. I also respect the owner's home and keep everything clean and organized. I understand that being away from family can be an adjustment for pets, so I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away!
