Pet care experience

FullTime Care. Play @ Balboa Park.

I Give your furry-baby Lots of Freedom to roam around my home, Give Them Never-Ending, Never-Enough Love, Affection n Treats and Lots of Exercise!!! I’m a Senior n Looks like one! But Mentally- I’m one of Fidelity’s Active Trader, and for Physical activities, I drive my furry-friends to Balboa Park to run and play 2-4 times a day, and I do front and back yard-work :D If you are okay with that, we can do Meet n Greet at Balboa Park!! I consider dog-boarding as my full-time job that I need to excel doing it. i AM NOT A ONE-dog only sitter!! A Multi-dogs from multi-families dog boarder. My RULE is 'If I Cannot Carry Your Dog', I need a Meet & Greet'! Please DO NOT Bring anything that you will be upset getting torn, damaged, dirtied or forgot to return! Why I Do Dogs-Boarding:- 1. I LOVE Dogs (I had 2 myself) 2. It's a FULL-ACCESS, SLEEP ANYWHERE boarding house for furry-babies. 3. I have a Nice Big Perfect Doggies' Backyard. 4. I am ONLY 3 Blocks from Balboa Park 4. When I tell one, they all run :). I have to say each one's name and tell them how much I love each one of them :) My Most Important Goals: 1) Give Your furbaby a Loving, Happy Home, 2) Multi-, Pet-Xercises, 3) Showers with Yummy, Costco's, Chewy's, Made in USA Treats :) I have a Commercial Dog Walker permit from Animal Care & Control. From Flowers-arranging to Gourmet-cooking, I have evolve to Dogs-Boarding and an Active Day Trader. I majored in Psychology, minor in Guidance Counseling, my MBA is Business Administration & Sales. I'm honest and a bit way too frank!! I used to work as a Senior Executive Assistant of Overseas Private Client Group at Merrill Lynch and Sr. VP Technology Dept. at Ernst & Young. A large dog starts at $60. It's a MUST we have a Meet & Greet at Balboa Park. My furry-friends can be ON-Leash or Off-Leash at Balboa Park. 100% of my time is spent with my doggie-friends. We’ll go to Balboa park, at least 2x, 3x sometimes 4x specially the weekends. Balboa Park is excellent to train a young puppy to socialize, for a senior to slow walk, and for the rest of the pack to run and play, if your dog/dogs do know the word 'come', 'come back.' Let me know if your babies have food allergy. Let me know if your babies have other issues. 100% of my time is spent with the dog or with all the dogs. They eat with me, sleep with me, walk with me, run with me. I have a big-size fenced backyard. First thing in the morning, go to the backyard, last thing in the evening before bedtime, go to the backyard. I am a full-time doggies' mom when your fur-babies are home-boarding with me. I have retired from the work-force. I don't go anywhere when they are boarding with me. Your fur-babies get full-access to my whole house. There is a doggie door or 24 open access to the backyard. Wherever I am they tend to follow me!

Doggy Day Care • May 10, 2026

Ali was great! She took exceptional, attentive care of Ziggy and Korra. While they were staying staying with her for daycare Ali took them on a walk and to the park. She sent lots of pictures.

Ali was extremely caring and patient with Grizz (due to his puppy nature). She constantly provided updates (including photos) and was always quick to respond! I highly recommend Ali!

Ali took great care of my dog! She took him out to Balboa Park multiple times a day, so he got plenty of exercise. She sent plenty of pics throughout the day as well. Highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!
