Dog Boarding Hidden Valley Lake

“Virginia took the best care of our almost one year old Lab/pitbull puppy. She sent pics & videos & I can tell he was spoiled during his doggy vacation. Highly recommend for quality care and flexibility with drop off/pick up.”

Lily C.

“After years of using another sitter we found through Rover, we had to find a new one, as our old one was retiring. Tim was great with the dogs and everything went perfectly. We will be repeat clients!!!”

Elise J.

“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”

Julie P.

“Leslie is very compassionate and accomminadating to my dog's needs. She is naturally a dog person. She takes him on awesome walks where he gets to socialize with other dogs and see goats. My dog is always wagging his tail when we arrive for drop off because he knows he's seeing his friend Leslie!”

Gloria H.

“I would absolutely recommend Liz to take care of your pup. Hugo had a great time and it’s a great space. The pictures she sent were all of our doggie smiling and sleeping and totally comfortable. We will be using Liz for daycare as well as future pet sitting.”

Jason K.

“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”

“Arianna took care of our senior pug. She was very kind to him and considerate of his needs (for example not walking in the heat). She provided a lot of updates and photos as well. Will definitely book with her again.”

Elizabeth G.

“I would highly recommend Crystal! She took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures on a regular basis and was quick to respond. She took him to Petco and was sweet enough to send him home with a treat. Her dog Rosie was a great playmate too. 5 stars!”

Gina W.

“Michelle is wonderful! Even though our dog is nervous in new situations, she made Callie feel welcomed and safe right away. Michelle was a great communicator before and during the stay. I won’t hesitate to book with Michelle again!!”

Annette C.

“Heather and her sweet dogs and doggie daycare pack made for a very good first time boarding experience for my 2 senior, kinda high maintenance, terrier mixes while I took a short business trip. They were well taken care of, including daily medications, and lots of playtime with the other dogs to keep them busy and they were in good spirits when I picked them up. I’m so grateful to have found Heather and hopefully she will have us back ?”

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.

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.

“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: 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.

“Julie is the best! She not only took incredible care of our 10-year old dog Maxine, she helped make our dream of having her in our wedding possible. She brought her to the venue looking brushed and beautiful, and picked her up after a couple hours to go home and rest. Julie was wonderful with sharing adorable pictures and updates about Maxine, and her dog Charlie is as sweet as can be. She was able to administer Maxine’s medication with no problems, and we knew the whole time that Maxine was in great hands. Highly recommend Julie if you need someone to take gentle care of your senior doggie in the St. Helena area!”

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.

“Kylie is the best!!”

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

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.

“Ari is the best sitter we have ever worked with. She gave our two shy skittish rescues, Ares and Carter, nearly three weeks of truly loving & fun care. We never once had to ask for photos or updates. We were able to fully enjoy our lengthy vacation without worrying about the dogs at all, which was huge given how we had to cut our last two trips short due to our dogs’ being unsafe with past sitters. I was so reassured by how she cared for them that I booked her for our next trip before this one had even ended. Ari's thoroughness stood out from our very first meet and greet. She asked detailed questions about our dogs that went well beyond the basics, and it was clear she genuinely wanted to understand them and their needs. She gave our pups space and didn’t force any interactions. Ari's patience & care with shy dogs sets her apart. Both of our dogs are Jindo rescues who are reserved with new people and need time to get comfortable in new spaces. Ari respected their timing and let them come to her instead of pushing for attention or constant handling. That approach made a huge difference. Within a week, our very shy dog was curling up to sleep on her bed with her. Both dogs were greeting her with happy barks, kisses, and full-body tail wags. They have never done that with anyone besides my partner and me…not even with friends and family they have repeatedly seen. Her home is a dream for dog parents. Ari secures different areas of her home so that dogs are not only safe but also have a quiet space to retreat to, which matters a great deal for nervous and fearful rescues. Her yard felt very secure, and our pups had such a great time playing in her outdoor space. Since their breed are notorious escape artists, these thoughtful setups gave me reassurance that the pups were secure. The moment that made me happiest came at pickup. Both dogs were happy to see us and still kept taking short breaks from us to go back to Ari on their own, wagging their tails and giving her kisses. Seeing them acknowledge her in the middle of reuniting with us showed how deeply they had bonded with her. Ari completely exceeded our expectations, and it is hard to overstate how much that meant after two horrible experiences that broke our trust. Both happened back to back right before finding her, and we had to end both bookings and trips early because our dogs were not safe. I had vetted those sitters carefully for weeks, and one of them weekly for four months, and it still wasn't enough. Those experiences left us anxious about traveling again and shrank our hopes to one thing: that our dogs would simply be safe.Ari's care went far beyond keeping them safe. Carter & Ares were happy, playful, affectionate & adore Ari. On top of all this, Ari a wonderful person. She is kind, flexible, humorous, and easy to talk to, and that warmth shows in how she cares for the dogs. Since coming home, both our dogs clearly miss her, which is a first. It means so much to know that when we go on vacation, they get a vacation of their own with the fun and care they deserve. We have finally found the person we can trust with our dogs.”
