Dog Boarding in Lemon Grove

My name is Sam, I am 32 years old and work from home as a freelance graphic designer. I love dogs, big and small, and I am very responsible with them. I grew up with, and have had several dogs as pets, and I have a calming presence which animals seem to appreciate. I am very reliable, dependable, and honest. I live with one roommate who helps take care of the dogs when I have to go somewhere. We live in a medium-size house with a large backyard with pet turf that the dogs have access to all day. The dogs all sleep inside, either in a play pen in the living room or in my bedroom. I have a lot of dog knowledge and I have a great safety record. I have been taking care of pets on and off since I was 12 years old and I enjoy it very much!

Hello and welcome to our page!

My name is Charlie and I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and my partner Shanna so you know a little about us and the business!

I personally am currently 29 and originally from a small town in Pennsylvania. I recently came out to San Diego 4 years ago to get my Masters in Criminology, which I have recently received: yay, go me!

After being saturated with education for my entire life, I decided that I wanted to pursue a new passion. This new goal is to have a full time business with Shanna that focuses on a greater good, which in this regard, is assuring that pets are as happy, well taken care of, and as loved as possible while their owners may have other obligations.

I've always loved animals and have been well received by most of them my entire life. I like to think it's because I embrace compassion upon meeting anyone and respect boundaries. I personally had multiple dogs and cats my entire life growing up and my best friend in high school was a guinea pig named Rascal. Shanna, who is originally from New Jersey, was raised with an abundance of animals- at one point she had 12 animals living at her home! (6 dogs and 6 cats)

Shanna helps me tag-team this business so we can give your pet(s) the best care possible by providing 24/7 supervision with either myself or her at home! Chances are good that you will get to meet her as well, where you and your pet will inevitably end up loving her as much as I do (Well not AS much ;p), she really is the sweetest person in the world.

Any time we go to someone's house it becomes apparent that we are spending more attention to their pet than we are to them. I like to think we share a strong bond with most animals because we share nothing but love and respect with them. Our end goal is to make this our future careers, and these animals are your children- thus we take this business very seriously. We provide daily photo updates, and a meet and greet is always welcome if you feel the need to request one, so then we can achieve a comfortable bond with everyone prior to the stay/walk. (We do get boarded up quickly and are fairly busy, so meet and greets may only be with either myself of Shanna.)

IMPORTANT!!: We have been getting booked fast as of recently due to popularity, so we ask that you try to pick up your pet(s) by 1pm after the last night of their stay with us if booking an overnight. We try to treat this business with hotel-esque policies, that way we can get our new clients in with prompt time for preparation. If you need to pick them up later, please let us know the time, so we can make further accommodations and possibly look into booking a reduced daycare rate for the day- we appreciate it! Also, we don't ever want cost to be the final decision maker for you not wanting to book with us; talk to us. We are usually flexible and our primary goal is assure that your pets will be in the best environment and in the best care possible.

My experience administering medication:

Both myself and Shanna have administered diabetic shots to dogs prior to our business due to our own animals having issues. We have also had a plentiful amount of clients during these past 3 years of being pet professionals that have needed certain medication and injections. We have experience with dogs that have certain disabilities (hearing impaired, vision, walking) as well. Overall, we are very confident in taking care of any dog breed, and accommodating any needs for your fury loved one(s). As always, an open dialogue is key.

We have been so blessed to have been able to do this for over 3 years now- making it our full time with no intention on stopping.

We have met some of the most amazing dogs, cats, and owners already, and to be able to share our love and be apart of everyone's lives, even if for short period or long, is rewarding and a feeling we wouldn't trade for anything. Hopefully you and your pet(s) can join us on this journey ❤️.

We are Bill & Todd, and we are experienced sitters! Having undergone advanced screening, we have been met face-to-face and our home has been inspected. Working from home, I (Bill) am home full time. This means that my coworkers are of the canine variety and are also my best dogs. My yellow lab and my shepherd mix keep me company during long days of work, providing me with the best excuses for taking breaks. Need a belly rub? Ready for a snuggling session? I could go for that! My furry coworkers and I are looking forward to meeting your canine companion! We will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with us. Our home is located South of the 8, not far from SDSU and close to Montezuma Park, is super dog friendly! Our yard is grassy with a doggie door into the house.

Our fee is for a 24 hour stay and we are very flexible with your drop off and pick up times. Contact us now - we'd love to have you over for a meet and greet!

Why I love dog sitting

We have been life-long dog lovers and are very active helping pets in need for a local adoption agency. We have decades of experience caring for all kinds of special needs pets too.

About my yard

I have a nice fully fenced-in yard, perfect for soaking up some sunshine and spending a long afternoon playing endless games of tug o' war.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given a proper demonstration. If your dog requires injections I do charge $5 for each one.

Hello! Emily and I would love to care for your pets. Here is a little bit about our experience as pet owners and professional service as well. I have had many types of dogs all of my life, primarily rescue animals. I currently own an 11 yr old Beagle. I sometimes care for my daughter's dogs, a Pom/ Dachsund mix and Poodle mix. I also have a cat however, she is outdoor and rarely interacts with any of the dogs. I have experience caring for both young and elderly dogs. I currently work from home. I allow dogs on the furniture in our home. I can provide a pet bed or comfy chair for your dog to sleep in. Daily walks, homemade food and playtime are part of our regular routine. My home is a welcome place for animals and they are always treated as a member of the family." - Linda

“Animals have been an integral part of my life. I’ve had a variety of pets ranging from dogs and cats to rats and lizards. My love of dogs and cats brought me to the veterinary field where I worked for 5 years and where I found my senior dog Shih Tzu named Bob. With your pet, I’ll indulge their needs, whether it’s lots of playtime, some cuddles, or a nice walk. I love getting to know them and doing what makes them happy!”-Emily

Why I love dog sitting

I have Loved dogs all of my life and have always owned lots of pets of all kinds. I have been a Vet Tech in Los Angles area in the 80's and a Mobile Pet Groomer in San Diego since 1987

Meet my pets

I am a 30yr. experienced Pet Groomer and Vet Tech. I have had experience all of my life with all kinds of pets.They are all a part of who I am.I bought my home 11 years ago with a vision to be able to take care of dogs cage free, that can walk freely around and play with others or just sit under our 100yr old tree in the shade and roll in the thick grass. There is lots to do here and constant supervision and play time. Interaction with lots of critters small to large. They will experience Ranch Life at its finest! Labs can swim in the ponds and small dogs can lounge on the deck and watch the action!

About my yard

We have over one acre to play and run with multiple fence lines 6 ft to 8 ft for safety. Lots of different area dog runs and an specially built "dog room" for the hot days with AC/heat and Radio

My experience administering medication

I can do Injections, Medications and Baths on any pet.

I only board 1 Dog at a time, so they will get my sole attention and love while in our home! We (my husband, Jake, and I) do not have children or any dogs of our own- so your pup will be our #1!! :)

Since our 17 year old cairn terrier, Sassy, passed 2 years ago we have not gotten another dog-- this is the first time in my life I have not had at least one dog under my roof, that is why I can guarantee to you that your dog will get all the love and attention it deserves from me and MORE!

Ever since I was born my life has been surrounded by dogs. My house always had large & small dogs, always at the same time & all loved with every bit of my heart. Since I work from home with a very flexible schedule, I have the ability to shower your dog with all the one-on-one love, care and attention it deserves when we are together! (I do have some regular dog walks that I do through the weekdays that can have me out of the house for 2-3 hours during the middle of the day, but other than that I am home)

I can't wait to meet your fur family!

Hey there pet parents! My name is Janet and I am a full- time Animal lover and care provider. I am currently a full time student at southwestern college and a part- time intern until September 2020. My mother karen is home throughout the day and would be more than happy to assist when I am not available.

Please note our rates are based on 24h hours. We have very flexible hours and are open to making arrangements!

My mother Karen is very kind hearted and passionate towards animals. We truely care about how your dog will feel while under our care and will do our best to provide the comfort needed. We love going on our routinly walks in the morning, afternoon and evening, inviting your pups to join!

My mother and I have had years of experience caring for various of animals and can read some dogs energies. We feel comfortable and confident with the care that we provide towards multiple animals at a time. Each animal has different personalities and needs. For your dogs best care it is essential to inform us of thier behaviors or any situations that may trigger your pet. Such as ringing the door bell which is common in most dogs but also more behaviors to be aware of Does your dog get scared around other people or specific dogs? Do loud noises startle your pup? We have been working with rover for over 2 years and have loved every animal weve hosted.

Since I was a baby, I was always around various of animals and there has never been a year since that I don’t have a dog or a cat. My mother and I love animals very much and we’re joyful when we're around animals.

We have two dogs, a Siberian Husky, Rokko and a Labrador Retriever mixed, Sasha. Both, Sasha and Rokko are older and lazy, but they love going out for walks! Rokko enjoys playing and running with other dogs at a park.

When we board your cats, they will have their own separate room to eat, sleep, poop, and play!

We will treat your pet as if they were our own fur baby and we will do our best to accommodate your babies schedule to ours.

Please, contact us if you have any questions or concerns, we look forward to speaking with you.

~~~ About Me ~~~

Animals will always have a special place in my heart and home.

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with animals, from goldfish to elephant; and all the sizes in between. Dogs became my perfect companion! As I grew older, my passion for animals grew with it. My experience includes over 12 years of animal care including obedience training, fostering, rehabilitating, animal advocacy and volunteering. In the past, I have worked to organized and coordinated host sites for pet adoption events with partnering animal rescue groups including Montgomery County Humane Society and Taiwan SPCA.

In 2011, my housemate, Ming and I turned our home (in Washington DC) into what we call "Capital Animal Rescue and Environmental Foundation", aka C.A.R.E (for short) where we sheltered, rehabilitated and placed homeless animals into forever homes through socialization with other animals and people. In those beginning years, I learned more than I could ever imagine about dog psychology, temperament levels, medical care, and addressing behavioral issues including separation anxiety, aggression and nervousness.

Since then, I have moved to San Diego in 2016 to continue my work in animal education and canine behaviorist. While Rover is my part-time hobby, I take top-priority in providing clients with the best possible services.

I have cared for over five-hundred pups in the past six years, all with different breeds, personalities, temperament levels and different needs. Next to pup cuddles and wagging tails, it brings me much joy to witness the progression of a pup who comes in stressed, but leaves happy, stressed-free and confident. I believe animals, may small or big-- belong in a pack environment. Given that control, safe and training environment, our furry friends learn what its like to work and play as a pack!

~~~Important Notes~~~

1. Meet n’ Greets are required for all new furry friends.

2. Bring food (labelled), treats, collar, leash, DOG TAGS and favorite toys.

3. Relax your pup prior to arrival by taking him/her on a long long long walk/run. Make sure they’ve pee'd and pooped already.

4. Please mention any quirks your pup may have, IE: marking, biting, barking, aggression, doesn't like car rides, terrified, etc... Don't worry because I will still take them in if I can. I just need to know what I'm working with and how to help them.

5. Preferred DROP-OFF/PICK UP TIMES before 12pm and after 6-7pm. Latest Pick-up is 9pm. If we need to make other arrangements just let me know.

6. Make sure your dog is clean and groomed. No super stinky pups. I like to cuddle them (if they like of course) and I like to stay clean too. Please brush/furminate them if you can. Much appreciated.

Please note that I take care of many dogs throughout the stay, usually between 3-8 pups a day. I believe dogs and animals should live and socialize in a safe pack in order to keep them healthy and happy. The pack and I would love to meet you and your furry friend(s)!

Hi,

Since I was born I have always had dogs around me, I absolutely love them and my dream as a kid was being a millionaire and adopting all the dogs without a home and taking care of them. A part of that dream hasn't come true, but I really enjoy having dogs over, walking them, and spoiling them like they where my own. I have 2 adorable dogs Swami the beagle. She is adorable and love new friends, and Bonnie, she is lovely French bulldog, turns 2yr old in March 2019 she is as sweet as any Frenchie can be...

I prefer to stay at your home up to I will travel farther if the stay is longer San diego, I am currently working from home and doing postmates and delivering for amazon so I have a flexible schedule I try to come back and let doggies out every 4-5 hrs

We will welcome your doggies to our family, as well as I will be a very respectful guest at your home and we will spoil them as much as you let us, always respecting your ways and rules

About this sitter:

I prefer me staying at your house with your dogs if they are nervous dogs or have separation anxiety

I will expect a detailed instruction of what you expect from me, your dogs special needs and likes. We will be happy to take him or her for walks or runs, depending of what they are used to and like as well. We absolutely love all breeds (we have breed restrictions listed on the listing but will always give them a chance if the meet and greet goes well) and sizes, dogs are my passion and will have a lot of fun with them, they are marvelous creatures to us and we love to see all different types of personalities. We are very patient and will treat your dog or pet as our own. We are very responsible and have a great dedication for animals.

Why we love dog sitting

Since I was born, they are my passion, till I have kids of my own, I feel dogs are like my kids.

Meet my pets

We are a dog lover family and we love to help out those who will need to leave their dogs behind, I have 2 lovely dogs of our own, and when we leave out of town, I wish we could find people like us to look after them as well. We will pamper your dog, and will respect your ways if there are specific things you like to do or not do with them...

My dogs usually go for 3-5 walks a day, and as most dogs they sleep a lot, occasionally they get a boost of energy and play around the house. We have crates of different sizes, but we only use them for our dogs and if your dog is used to be crated, we crate ours when left alone, but its never more than 3hrs-5hrs at a time if even, but I encourage for you to bring their own crate/bed so they smell something that is theirs and feel more at home, if your dog is used to roam free and is well potty trained we have no problem having them roam. They will all sleep with us on the bed. We will respect your preferences for your dog, if he or she is used to just chill in the house, we will let them chill. Sometimes they are never alone... I am very flexible and willing to work around you.

We offer pick up and drop off also for an extra fee.. but I am flexible and we can work it out... We will work with you if you do too.

All my regulars love having me over to dog sit and also house sit when they are gone.

I have a 5 year old terrier chihuahua mix named Roxanne that I hang out with all day. Your dog will get plenty of human affection and dog companionship from Roxanne. I'd be a great fit for someone that wants their dog

to have free reign to roam around the house and lounge on the couch or bed. But for dogs that are on a training regimen I'm happy to follow specific disciplined instructions and continue with discipline training,

Potty training, etc as well. There are a couple fantastic dog parks a within a half mile walk from my house so lots of opportunities for enrichment. I have multiple bedrooms setup specifically for hosting dogs. There are also multiple outdoor spaces suitable for dogs as well. I've basically setup the house to accommodate dogs of any temperament successfully. All the surfaces in the house are quite durable so not a problem for me to host dogs that can be destructive or those that are still figuring out the potty thing. I live centrally and not far from the airport so it's an easy location for those that are flying out.
