Amanda was great with our pups! Our dog Frannie usually takes a bit to warm up to new people but she didn’t need much time at all with Amanda. Thank you!

Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!

Justine is great 👍. Hoppy doesn't always like to walk when it's warm outside so she will play with her in the house. She's very attentive to Hoppy's needs. We are sad that she moved out of Long Beach, she will be missed.

I specialize in family-style boarding, meaning your pet will have full run of the house and constant companionship. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule revolves around being here to provide supervised play, timely feedings, and plenty of love. We have a friendly 4yr old Maltipoo who absolutely loves making new friends! For everyone's safety, I only host dogs that are child-friendly. Your pup will also enjoy our fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for secure, off-leash zoomies and sunshine. We have a fenced-in yard for plenty of playtime, along with a warm and welcoming home where your pup will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s doggy day care, home style boarding, drop ins, or walks, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. Your pup will enjoy cuddles, playtime, outdoor fun, and plenty of love and attention. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re cared for in a stress-free, homey environment instead of a kennel. Why Choose Me? • Family-style care, not kennel care 🏡 • Safe, fenced yard for playtime 🌿 • Experience with [small/big/puppies/etc. — if you want me to specify] 🐕 • Flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and daycare ⏰ • Regular updates and pictures so you never miss a moment 📸 I’d love to meet you and your pup to see if we’re a great fit!

We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!

Mackenzie does an amazing job with my extremely high energy boxer. Boo is usually super hyper and can be a bit of a jumper, but Mackenzie does an amazing job of getting her calm and taking her on walks. I can certainly say that Boo comes back very satisfied and gets excited when I say Mackenzie’s name.

Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!
