Dog Boarding in Hooker, CA

“Youpi had a fine time with Lorrie and her dogs. That's unusual for him because he's usually afraid of big dogs and I was a little concerned about that. But with Lorrie's calming effect and the dogs' friendly attitude he learned that not all big dogs are scary. She credits that with the fact that they are foster dogs and have seen many boarders come and go. It was a great relief to know that he was safe and I was able to get my work done without feeling anxious about him. Thank you Lorrie for the wonderful photos and video. It worked out great!”

“Genae was accommodating, easy going and understanding. She took good care of all 3 of my fur babies and made accommodations when they had a hard night away from home. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an awesome sitter with an ideal place for smaller dogs, as she has them herself.”

About: Your pets have my full attention when they’re in my care. I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from dogs and cats to horses and chickens—and I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. In high school, I apprenticed as a vet tech, which gave me hands-on experience with basic medical care, handling anxious pets, and recognizing when something’s wrong. I'm currently raising three dogs, including a working-line German Shepherd trained in service tasks and a high-energy husky/malinois/wolf mix, so I’m no stranger to active, smart pups who need structure and stimulation. I have experience with puppy training, senior care, and building trust with shy or reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, a brisk walk, or mental engagement, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. As a professional photographer, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give your pet consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks are built into our daily routine—weather permitting—and if it’s too hot or stormy, we switch to indoor enrichment and play. I’m usually home during the day and evening unless I’m out for a shoot, and I’ll only accept bookings that allow me to maintain that level of presence and care. Pets in my home or yours will always feel seen, safe, and included. Safety is a top priority in everything I do. My background as a vet tech apprentice helps me spot issues early and ensure all pets stay healthy and comfortable. At home, our dogs are treated like family—but with boundaries. We maintain structure, encourage good behavior, and never let things slide just because a pet is cute (though we do think they’re all adorable). Our home is pet-friendly with lots of enrichment options, supervised outdoor time, and cozy spots to relax. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, routines, and pet’s comfort zones—leaving everything just as I found it (or better).

“Alora was so wonderful the entire process! We got plenty of videos and pictures while our dog during the stay. This was the longest we have left our dog since we got her and I cannot say enough great things. Highly recommend! Your dogs will be well taken care of.”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals from farm chickens to house cats for many years. I also take care of plants and gardens. I have a flexible work schedule where I am able to take care morning, afternoon, evening or even overnight. Feeding 3 times a day, no problem for me. Depends on the lifestyle of each animal. Indoor only outdoor only or indoor outdoor combo. I can accommodate. I can take your dog long walks.

“Bear is always excited to go to his “best friend Flynns’s” house! Aimee and her family always take excellent care of him, and send pictures to keep me updated on him. Thank you for being such wonderful caretakers or my dog!”

“Nancy was incredibly accommodating! She took my senior dog in for a last minute boarding request and even kept him slightly over my requested pick-up time when I was stuck on the road. Nancy provided the ideal environment for my pup and sent me updates/pictures during his stay. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I started fostering dogs from time to time when the local shelter has needed some extra help for the past year. I’ve had experience with different types of breeds and some with different medical conditions. I do work full time but, I’m available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays after 4pm! I always enjoy spending time with furry friends! I provide a safe environment for your pet and I am very patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. I have a 4 year old Husky that would be a great companion as well and if not, I can place her in her crate.

“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”

“We could not say anything better about Jessi and her ohana. She is, simply said, the BEST caregiver for your dog. She’s attentive, gives constant updates with photos and loves your pet (almost) better than you could. Our Koda was sad to leave them all.”

About: With 3 fully fenced acres, loving hosts and a built-in best friend (our dog Sunny), your dog is sure to have a great time and be well loved by us all. My family is great with dogs and loves to help take care of them! I've raised animals all my life, from pets to livestock. Animal care has been a huge part of my life as well as the connection that comes with knowing and loving each one of them. My husband works from home, and I am a stay-at-home mom, so your pet would be in good care. My husband and I work from home, so we are available to provide care during the weekdays. We are available for hosting over weekends and holidays when we are not out of town! We have 3 fully fenced acres to run and play on, as well as a large dog kennel that is even more securely fenced. We also have a pool courtyard that is gated in and so securely fenced and so there are plenty of options for safe and secure outdoor play. Dogs are more than welcomed in the house. We have one pet - the worlds friendliest dog - named Sunny who loves furry friends and will be a willing playmate for your pet. If your dog is a fence jumper, we will need to know right away as we live on a busy road that can be very dangerous for the dogs. We have young children and so will not accept aggressive dogs for everyone's safety.

About: I have been involved in raising dogs, cats, livestock and more since I was in diapers. The first part of my childhood was spent living with Shitzu's, while the second half was spent with Bull Mastiffs, shepherds and other medium-large breeds. Simultaneously, I was involved in the caretaking of many cats, sheep, pigs, horses and more fun kinds of animals. I was the kid our neighbors often relied on to care for their pets when they went out of town. My favorite thing about adulthood, and even apart of motherhood that I love, is being able to continue bringing animals into our lives and loving on them for as long as we can. I am also a part-time photographer and will use any chance I can to photograph animals! I am currently a full-time homemaker, caring for our three kids ages 12, 6 and 3 while my husband works full-time as a Law Enforcement Officer. I am an at home baker, part-time teacher to our kids and spend any free time with our pets, family, reading a book or doing creative projects. The majority of my days are spent at home with my kids and our pets. Our cat, Sherlock, is timid at first meeting but quickly warms once he knows mom approves. And our pack of two dogs, Watson and Timber, are always here with us too. We love this close-knit community and there is no shortage of love in this home for animals, that's for sure! We have a moderately sized home with a long, decent sized fenced in backyard. There is a covered kennel in the backyard in addition to a covered patio filled with dog beds and toys for dogs to relax in. Our dogs enjoy swinging with the kids on the tree swing out back or splashing in the plastic puppy pool. In the home, our dogs are welcome anytime, although they prefer to be outside since their double coat makes them easily adjust to outside weather. We are able to crate your pup(s) if needed or they can have free reign of the house while they are visiting. I have experience giving medications and vaccinations, so if needed, your pup would be in good hands no matter what the case.

“Jessie was great! This was the first time I have dropped my dog, Tango, off with someone other than family and she made the experience very easy and positive. Jessie sent me many photos and updates as requested and treated my dog as her own. It was evident that Tango had gotten plenty of play time and was well taken care of when I picked him up. Jessie seemed very knowledgeable about dogs and was very friendly! I will definitely use her if I am in the area again. :)”

“Tracci was a doll! She accepted my 2 Australian Shepherds only hours before we were leaving town for the weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the weekend and seems like such a dog lover. Her house is beautiful and the dogs have lots of space to be inside or outside. We received text and pic updates the whole time. If we ever need dog boarding again this will be our go to! Couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you again Tracci :)”

“She's wonderful! We were on vacation and she boarded our shy dog for 3 nights. She gave me daily updates and made us feel welcomed & well communicated with! We knew our special girl was taken well care of. 💗”

“Isaiah was such a Godsend! I scheduled our pup to stay with him while I underwent surgery. When we dropped Peanut off, I knew she was in good hands and I was able to focus on myself and my recovery. He was also super accommodating when I needed to extend Peanut’s stay, as I wasn’t yet feeling up to par after surgery. He communicated with me every step of the way and really made me feel at ease. We will definitely be booking with Isaiah again!”

About: I've worked with dogs since I was a little girl. I used to take care of my neighbors animals when they would go our of town. I would walk the dogs and feed them. I am an early bird and go to bed late. I currently work at an emergency vet so I am used to the go go life. I want nothing but the best for all my animals I have a fully fenced in yard when I come home for lunch and bring in my dogs because it is to hot. My dogs sleep inside 2 on my bed and the others around it.

About: I’m a RN, with a passion for animals. A mom of 3 fur babies and 2 human babies 💕 longest pet sitting was a week, I have been around animals all my life and are very comfortable around them. I’m a home health nurse. So I’m gone around 4 hrs a day. However my husband works nights. So there is always someone at the home with the animals. I try to start my day early so I can have time to walk the pups before it gets too hot or later in the evening when it cools down. I have a fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs that love to play, who have also always been around different dogs. We have tile flooring so if there’s an accident no worries! We have a doggy door so they have full access to the tiled living room area and the back yard for them to come and go as they please. I care for animals in other homes based on instructions from that specific client.

About: I’m 20 years old and have grown up with dogs, cats and other pets my entire life, I currently share my home with two affectionate Golden Retrievers. My family has raised Golden Retriever puppies, and I was actively involved in their early development helping with all aspects of daily routines, including daily therapeutic puppy massages recommended for socializing, service and therapy dogs. Beyond my personal pets, I’ve also provided reliable pet sitting for friends and family, caring for both dogs and cats. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy connecting with animals. Combined with my flexible schedule, especially during the summer, I’m able to offer a level of care that’s both consistent and tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a college student, my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer. I often assist my family with work and take on additional responsibilities. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I take the time to focus on your pets needs and ensure they’re well cared for. When caring for pets, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps them feel right at home. I live in a house with a large securely fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to play both indoors and relax outdoors under supervision. I also have two loving Golden Retrievers who are very friendly and well-socialized. They enjoy having fur friends stay and play. I’m fully capable of separating dogs when needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Routine and personalized care are priorities for me—I stick closely to each pet’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, and I make sure to give them plenty of attention, enrichment, and downtime. For clients who prefer in-home care, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their pet’s daily routine with the same level of attentiveness. I will also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
