Dog Boarding Healdsburg

“Brandi is amazing at what she does and I couldn't recommend her more! It's clear that her house is a home away from home for all the dogs that stay with her. She sent pictures and videos every day throughout our dog's stay and was always available for any questions we had. Thank you Brandi!”

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..

“We were in town for a special occasion and Heather and Caleb were very accommodating to our needs. They were a pleasure to work with. They gave our fur baby the attention she needed. We would not hesitate using them again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and needs. I truly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog, and caring for them has always been something incredibly important to me. I have experience with everything from extra small breeds to extra large dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s size, personality, energy level, and individual needs. I also have experience caring for long coated breeds and understand the importance of consistent brushing, coat maintenance, and keeping dogs clean, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, enjoying outdoor time, getting a bath, or simply relaxing with some affection, I’m happy to make their care a positive and enjoyable experience. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also have extensive experience with reactive dogs and dogs with high prey drives. Whether a dog is reactive toward unfamiliar people, other dogs, or other animals, I understand the importance of patience, awareness, and respecting their individual boundaries. I recognize that every dog has different triggers and comfort levels, and I take those differences seriously. I prioritize safe handling, maintaining appropriate distances, following owner instructions, and avoiding situations that could overwhelm a dog or put anyone at risk. I’m also very familiar with high energy dogs and dogs who require extra attention and structure. I understand that some dogs need more thoughtful management during walks, around distractions, or when encountering other animals. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care that respects each dog's needs rather than expecting every dog to behave the same way. While I’m not a professional dog trainer, I do have hands on experience training my own dogs. I’ve worked on recall, leash manners, and appropriate behavior, and I’m incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made. Through that experience, I’ve learned just how much patience, time, and consistency matter when working with dogs. I understand that progress doesn't happen overnight, and I believe in setting dogs up for success through consistent expectations and positive experiences. I’m happy to reinforce your existing routines and commands while following your training preferences. One of my biggest strengths is caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, medication administration, and providing attentive care to dogs who require additional support. I’m also experienced in caring for dogs with compromised immune systems and serious, lifelong, or terminal illnesses. I understand that these dogs may need extra precautions, consistent routines, close attention, and a particularly gentle approach. I know that administering medication can sometimes be challenging, especially when a dog is reluctant to take it. I strive to make medication time as calm, comfortable, and stress free as possible while following your instructions carefully. I also understand how important it is to recognize changes in a dog's behavior or routine and communicate any concerns to their owner promptly. Senior and medically complex dogs hold a special place in my heart. I believe they deserve the same love, dignity, patience, and quality of care as any other dog, with adjustments made to suit their comfort and abilities. Whether that means taking a slower walk, providing extra help with daily routines, respecting mobility limitations, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I’m dedicated to meeting each dog where they are. My approach to dog care is built on compassion, patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, especially when your pup has specific medical needs, behavioral challenges, or requires extra care. I take that responsibility seriously and will always do my best to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your dog isn't just another booking to me. They're a beloved member of your family, and they'll be treated with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your routines, and make your dog's well being my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! I’m a part time college student, so I have a ton of time to work around and adapt to your pets schedule so they don’t have to change a single thing! My top priorities are always safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their environment. Having grown up with animals and cared for pets with a wide variety of needs, I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. In a client's home, I make it a priority to maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, grooming, and any special care instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep food and water areas clean, maintain litter boxes as needed, and make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I'm experienced with shy and nervous cats, reactive dogs, dogs with high prey drives, senior pets, and animals with medical conditions or special needs. I take the time to understand each pet's individual triggers and requirements, respect their boundaries, and never force interactions. I prioritize safe handling, appropriate supervision, and following the owner's instructions carefully, especially when it comes to medications, medical needs, and interactions with other animals. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. I communicate with owners, provide updates when appropriate, and promptly share any concerns or changes in their pet's behavior or well being. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, and loved while giving their owner peace of mind. I treat every animal with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer morning and evening and weekend drop-in visits.

“Our dog had a medical problem during his stay. Lindsay let us know and helped us arrange treatment. We are 1000% pleased with our dog’s treatment. When we picked him up he was relaxed and happy.”

“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”

“Sarah was fabulous! We were in town for a quick trip and Sarah kept in touch with photos and messages everyday. We were able to relax knowing Willow was being spoiled with frequent walks and lots of cuddles and attention.”

“Regina was amazing with Quinn. She sent us pictures almost every day, let us know how she was doing, and the friends she made with other dogs. Upon meeting her and Kyle, you can tell right away how wonderful they are and how much they love the dogs they take care of. I could not have been happier to have found her and will definitely be using her again whenever I need someone to take care of Quinn. I felt I could trust them with Quinn, and I was right. Thank you, Regina and Kyle. I highly recommend them if you need someone to love your dog when you are away.”

About: My husband and I have had animals in our lives for as long as we can remember. We share our home with cats and a dog, volunteer with local humane societies, and have experience fostering and caring for kittens. We’re also comfortable with senior pets and pets with medical needs after reviewing their routines with you. We serve the Hidden Valley Lake area only. We can care for pets in your home, or welcome them into ours if they’re comfortable around cats. We require a meet and greet before any booking so everyone, including our own pets, feels comfortable. While your pet is with us, we’ll follow their routine and treat them like family. My husband is retired, and I work from home, so we can give pets attention throughout the day. We plan care around each pet’s needs, whether that means visits in your home or a stay in ours. We start with a meet and greet to learn your pet’s routine and decide together whether they’d be most comfortable in your home or ours. Cats are our specialty, and we also enjoy caring for dogs who are comfortable with everyday walks and visits. We don’t offer dog training or behavior modification. A stay in our home depends on your pet being comfortable around our six cats and large dog. We have a fully fenced side yard and a fenced backyard, and visiting pets are always supervised outdoors.

About: I have co existed with dogs my entire life, and began dog walking and dog sitting regularly nearly 10 years ago. I also have spent numerous years working for a local dog boarding facility. I currently work remotely which gives me free time to hang with your dog at the 10 acre ranch I live on. I prefer to dog sit in my own space but can be flexible if the timing is right. I am most interested in doggy daycare dog and house sitting as a side hobby. *while housesitting dogs & owners must be comfortable that I bring my own dog with me. he is a well socialized friendly 8 yr old cattle dog. I work remotely Sunday though Wednesday 3pm to 11pm. This schedule alows me to be flexible with dog sitting and doggy daycare during the week. I am available outside those hours for dog walking. I provide safe, loving care on my fenced ranch for boarding or in clients’ homes, offering exercise, attention, and a stress-free environment for every pet

“Charmaine did a great job boarding our fur baby. She was very anxious about being away from home for a few nights. Charmaine even let her sleep with her and shared pics. Very sweet and caring.”

About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have hands-on experience in pet sitting, small-dog boarding, dog training, pack walking, and working at a professional boarding and daycare facility. My experience has taught me how to work with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels while prioritizing safety, enrichment, and positive experiences. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning new skills, or just relaxing with some extra affection, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I work part-time as a massage therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I have availability throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to board small dogs most days of the week. I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine! Whether your pup stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! In my home: I have a small yard for potty breaks and live next to beautiful walking trails for daily walks and enrichment. I only board one dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of individualized attention. I have a friendly corgi and a cat, so visiting dogs must be comfortable living with both. I’m only away for occasional four-hour shifts at a nearby spa, and my partner works from home, so your pup will have company throughout the day. Crates are available if preferred, but your dog is also welcome to sleep with me! In your home: I follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, care instructions, and house rules. I provide daily walks, companionship, and plenty of affection. I work occasional four-hour shifts Tuesday through Saturday, but otherwise can spend my time at your home caring for your pets. For overnight stays, I just ask for access to a bed and kitchen. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own!

“Steven took wonderful care of our two puggies over Christmas break. He’s super attentive and responsive, and we’ll definitely have him dog sit again!”
