About: Coming to Open-Play Boarding & Daycare is like a day at a theme park for pets! They have a blast running around and, by the end, are happily exhausted. We provide plenty of clean water and beds in all play yards for pets to relax. If open-play is new for your pet, it’s normal for them to feel more tired and thirsty than usual, so just give them time to rest and drink plenty of water at home!

“Mai did a fabulous job with caring for my Louie! She was in constant communication with me sharing photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely use Mai again and highly recommended her!”

“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”

“Rebekah is extremely caring and communicative. We met her beforehand so our dog and hers could get a feel for each other. Everything went well during the meeting and we knew our dog was in great hands. She sent several updates throughout the day regarding meals and walks, and we really appreciated how much she cared for our dog while we were at work. We will definitely plan on booking with her again soon!”

About: I’ve been with dogs all my life. I help exercise, play, and babysit dogs for day and sometimes weeks. I am a huge dog lover and will always put dogs first. I am currently working full-time remotely, so I am fully available almost every day with the exception of traveling for work or personal! I am ready to meet so many new canine friends & help in anyways I can to my human friends! I currently live in a condo in Costa Mesa with two large parks near my house so I walk dogs about 2 to 3 times per day and have plenty of playtime inside our condo and when we are watching a dog we never really leave so know that your dog will always be accompanied by me.

“I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.”

About: Hello! I have trained puppies and dogs for basic obedience and shows for 15 years. I started as a mentee at 9 with a certified show dog runner and trainer for 1.5 years and started training my neighbor’s dogs as practice. I have since started boarding various pets throughout college up until now. As a pet owner, I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for and be responsible for our family members - I’m definitely that person and will ensure the upmost respect for you and your pets! I like to give my clients and their pets the time to get to know me and feel like they’re making the right choice. I like to keep everything transparent and open for discussion. I live in a large two-story home with a fenced backyard and plenty of running space. I believe in lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep all animals in my care happy and healthy. I work from home at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to get 10k steps a day for my own health and make it a point to go for a 2 hour walk a day and love having a companion there with me :) My home is pet proofed from any toxic plants, food is kept out of reach, and my home is treated for pests and fleas monthly. I also have dog gates in case I ever need to section a part of the home off. I don’t like to use dog crates in my home and like to let pets have a lot of freedom and space to feel their most comfortable.

“Hector was so kind and too great care of my puppies. My chihuahua mix is always so timid around people but she took a great liking too him, cuddling with him and giving him lots of love. Animals sense food people, and hector is definitely the best. He was flexible and very communicative. He updated us regularly throughout the day. Thank you Hector, for ur flexibility, for your kindness, and for taking great care of our babies.”
