Dog Boarding La Mesa

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Rosalia cared for our dog Winnie for 3 weeks while we took a dream vacation. It was pretty hard for us to feel good about leaving Winnie for so long, but Rosalia made it easy with daily updates. It was clear to us that Winnie was having a great time, which enabled us to have a good time on our trip. Thanks Rosalia!”

“Mark is a fantastic communicator and a reliable sitter. I would recommended him to anyone, and we will certainly be boarding again with him any time we can!”

“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”

“This was our first time using Rover and the experience went better than we could have hoped! Our Siberian husky can get separation anxiety when boarded, so we did a meet & greet with Courtnay and our husky fell in love with her. She was completely comfortable and well taken care of. Courtnay kept us updated throughout her stay which relieved any anxiety we may have had and let us enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be booking with Courtnay again”

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

“Joshua has a great way about him and the big yard/environment felt right for my pup. When I was away Joshua’s photos gave me relief that my dog was having a great time. Will definitely go back!”

“Sophie is so nice, gentle, accommodating, & a wonderful pup care-giver. Plus she sent an update and cute photos every day. We couldn't ask for anything more & will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“Esmeralda and her family did a great job. My flight got delayed coming back and she was very accommodating. My dogs came back very happy and calm.”

“Holly and Robert’s place is the best! They are super attentive to all dogs under their care and treat each dog like a member of their family. They are major dog lovers and take the time to learn about your dog before boarding. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt super safe leaving my dog in their hands. My dog had a 15 night stay at their place and he had the best time- he even made a new friend! We were provided photos and updates every day. It truly felt like I was leaving my dog in the trusted hands of a family member!”

Brenna G.

“My dog Capri had a great time with Melissa and was very well taken care of! Melissa is very professional and attuned to dogs and their needs. I trusted her immediately. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. I would definitely use her services again!”

About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.

“Onrae is my very first Rover experience. Onrae responded quickly, professionally and was very responsive. I had concerns about my dogs behavior (he can be pretty high energy) Lucky for me Dashy was very well behaved at our meet and greet. After talking with Onrae a few minutes I had no concerns if Dashy did have any behavior issues staying there. When dropping off Dashy, he was excited to go in with the well mannered kids. I had prompt check in the next day. Basiclly Dashy did great and I had no concerned about his well being or about any behavior issues. Onrae is highly experienced and highly recommended. He's a no nonsense guy who seems to really care for dogs and client parents concerns. I will definately be using Onrae in the future!”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Anne took great care of our dog on an extended stay. She kept in contact with us and sent lots of pictures. He had as much fun on his vacation as we did on ours! We will definitely use her again.”

Angela M.

“Doug was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two pups while I was on a quick over-nighter out of town. Will definitely use again for any future dog-care needs while traveling!”

“Absolutely fabulous! Emily took on our cat so that we could attend our daughter’s wedding. Emily kept us posted about how our cat was doing and took care of everything. An absolute lifesaver! Thank you Emily :)”
