Calling All Dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi! We're Alex and Kylie - and we board dogs! Kylie works from home and owns her own business. I work part-time at a wholesaler down the street and spend the rest of my time at home. So your fur baby will not be alone for more than a couple hours barring grocery trips/quick errands. Since we live in a house with a fenced yard it allows the pups to go out, run, and potty whenever they like! I love getting the opportunity to watch dogs and have them be a part of my day. I moved from Kansas City to California 3.5 years ago and appreciate the dog community here in SoCal. I have experience keeping foster pets and really enjoy the routine that came out of it. My wife and I are also PET CPR and first aid certified. I live an active lifestyle so it's great to have a chance to walk dogs in my care. They just built a park across the street from our home, which the dogs we've cared for LOVE. I am also experienced with dogs that need medications. If you have any specific request for your pup I'd be more than happy to assist in any way I can for their needs, and make sure they are comfortable in the new environment. Also to note, I do have my cancellation policy set to strict on my profile, which means cancelling within a week of the booking will mean forfeiting the entire total of the stay. -Alejandro "Alex" Rivera

It was my first time leaving my dog, and I was nervous how my puppy would be. They did an amazing job taking care of him, and keeping him active. He would send me pictures of my puppy throughout the day. I will definitely book with Alejandro again.

Information Alejandro R. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your pet has any medications or special needs. We are both experienced with all kinds of administering of medicine including diabetic needs. We have experience with senior dogs, dogs with Cushings, dogs with blindness and deafness, animal aggressive dogs, and dogs with heavy separation anxiety.

A typical day

We live right across the street from a newly constructed park. It has walking paths and open green spaces along with beautiful local plant life and manicured gardening/flowerbeds. It's a very accessible place to let them sniff and get energy out before bed or break in the middle of the day.
