Dog Boarding Los Ranchitos

“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”

“Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!”

“Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much, Sylvie!! I can tell that Bobbi had an amazing time staying with you and your family and the other boarding dogs. I’m so grateful she had the opportunity to properly socialize with other older dogs as she is still a puppy. The endless pictures you sent were such a relief to see. I was always so happy to get them while on my trip—she clearly loved sniffing around your garden. And thank you for sticking to my notes and instructions, as she is still a puppy and I wanted to keep certain things going like crate training while I was away. I’d love to rebook with you in the future. Thanks again for your attention to detail and care for Bobbi :)”

“Orrya did a beautiful job of caring for our two pups! With regular updates and photos, we felt connected to them while far away. We are so grateful to have had her take care of them!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have a 19-year-old Sulcata tortoise and a dwarf hamster, and I previously had two cats of my own. I’ve also done dog walking and pet sitting for two large Golden doodles, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I am responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will help with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also keep your home and any areas I use clean, so everything is in order when you get home. I’ll send photo updates throughout my visits so you know how your pet is doing! I work as an on-call nurse, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work pet sitting and dog walking into my week and am happy to coordinate with you to find a time that works! When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll walk and play with dogs, and keep cats fed with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and will give them lots of company. I’ll keep your home clean and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

“Tamara was a great host for our dog Pikachu! She sent pictures throughout his stay and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. We were able to fully relax knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely use her for boarding in the future.”

“Angelica took exceptional care of our pup, accommodating her little quirks and senior needs. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures, making sure we knew Daisy was being well cared for. Will definitely work with Angelica again!”

Mike M.

“Kim was wonderful. They have a very comfortable and welcoming home. He sent several pictures with my puppy, so that I could be updated on his well-being. Overall; I would highly recommend Kim!”

Megan O.

“Our boy Javier was spoiled with Susana, he will definitely return. Susana has a great set up with a yard for the doggies, and we can tell she loves having them.”

Maria A.

“We highly recommend Madeline and Alex. They were very responsible, provided a ton of ongoing updates, and were very easy to work with. Our dog had a great time with their kids and in general. We will go back to them again.”

“Siena watched my 2 large dogs for a few days on a last minute work trip. She was very easy to communicate with and very responsive and accommodating. She sent cute photos of my dogs on walks and snuggling on her couch - they had the best time! The dogs can’t wait to come back :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs in a wide range of situations, including senior dogs, special-needs pups, and dogs recovering from injuries. Most dogs love nature, and it's exciting to see them perk up on walks at the sound of chirping birds, rustling brush, or a skittering lizard. There are great dog-friendly nature paths in Novato and San Rafael that give the pups both sniffing and social opportunities, so they come home tired and content. What I’m especially good at is communication. I pay close attention to a dog’s eyes, ears, posture, and energy, because they tell you so much before they ever make a sound. I use a gentle “dog voice” (yes, the sweet baby-talk voice) and clear, steady cues, because many dogs respond quickly to warmth, tone, and consistency. Even anxious or shy dogs usually soften when they realize they’re being understood. I’ve also cared for large dogs, and my Labrador retriever loves having big buddies to play with. No matter the size, age, or temperament, I’m respectful of each dog’s individual needs, and I make sure they feel safe, seen, and truly cared for with plenty of affection, attention, patience, and exercise. I currently work from home, and I have a (mostly) flexible schedule. I like to get out with my dog two times a day for 2+ mile walks on local trails and parks. I respect people's spaces, and I am good at following detailed instructions for homes and their pets. I have references and happy clients to tell you about it!

“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

Jennifer F.

“Incredible sitter. Tara took really great care of Hank and was super communicative with pictures and updates. We will absolutely be booking with Tara again.”

Cole C.

“Alex was easy to communicate with, punctual, and so sweet with our dog. She took daily pics of their adventures and even provided a "report card" for his stay. Our dog was sad to say goodbye.”

Maeve E.

“My dog Paco had a short last minute stay with Anna - just one day and one night. She was easy to work with and Paco seemed quite calm and happy when I picked him up”

Kirsten N.

“Carla was wonderful with our 18 pound mix Charlie! She went on lots of walks despite the rainy weather and was well-taken care of. We would certainly hire Carla again to watch Charlie!”

Tatem R.

“In the past anytime I would prepare to leave town, my dog Maggie would become anxious and unhappy, now after staying with Emany on three different occasions, Maggie gets excited when I start packing her things to go to the dog sitter. This last time, she pulled away from me and ran to Emany's open arms and started licking her all over. Such a relief to know she is in good hands and happy while I am away. Highly recommend Emany to watch your dogs too, rest assured they are being well cared for and having fun while you are away.”
