A typical day

We want to know what your dog loves!! We love playing in our backyard, sniffing all the fun things, playing games and taking adorable photos for our pup parents! In the summer, we set up a doggie pool and have pool parties. We have a lot of fun things to look at and explore on our property if your dog loves their walks! When we are inside, we have plenty of toys and dog beds for playing & napping throughout the day. At night, we like to wind down by snuggling up with the pups, cook dinner, watch tv or play games.

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks for visiting my page. I have spent my entire life providing professional care to all types of animals, but dogs are my absolute favorite! My wife and I love providing your pup with endless love and fun while you’re away! My background includes being a military animal trainer as a civilian for the Navy for 14 years while simultaneously running my own business boarding & training dogs outside of my professional job for that entire length of time. Additionally, we have been an active 5 star profile on Rover for over 9 years. Prior to that, I was a veterinarian technician at a small animal hospital in college and also worked at an equestrian center caring for horses and providing guided rides. I studied marine biology in college, where I also directed the biggest organization on campus geared towards animal care and training, which ultimately led me to my work with the Navy. Because of the world-class care provided for the Navy’s animals, I am trained with the highest standard of animal care in my profession and will accept nothing less for my clients. Giving my pet parents the peace of mind while they travel is very important to us as my wife and I completely understand how hard it is being away from our animals. Our home sits on over 2.5 acres and we have a gigantic fenced in backyard, perfect for all dogs! Additionally, we have 2.5 acres fully fenced with a 6 foot plus fence. Our own private dog park! So whether your pup prefers a small accessible space or would rather spread their wings, we’ve got them covered! Safety is our biggest priority and we take that very seriously. No dog is left unattended outside for any reason, ever! The pups are supervised 24/7. I am home full time and I provide pick up and drop off services in the San Diego area. My wife is home in the afternoons/evenings/weekends as her schedule reflects the school schedule. We welcome dogs every day of the week and would love to have your pup come stay with us! We are also very experienced with giving timely medications appropriately and being sensitive with our seniors : ). We have two dogs: Remi (9 years old) and Theo (6 years). Both are extremely sweet and love having friends come stay with them!! Thank you : )

Danielle was an amazing caretaker for my baby. I highly recommend her. Her house location couldn’t have been better for me, I felt confident in her care, received updates, and she was flexible when my trip plans changed at the last minute. Thank you so much!!

Luna had a wonderful time with Danielle and the dogs on the property. In the pictures she seemed right at home, energetic and lively as always. Danielle is friendly and accommodating. I would definitely take Luna back for another stay! 100%

Danielle was amazing with our dog. She provided us with a detailed update during our trip and our dog was so happy and healthy when we picked him up. She has dog training experience so was very knowledgeable with dog behaviors which was comforting as our dog is still quite young, only 6 months old.This was my first time using Rover and Danielle helped ease any nerves about leaving Ziggy. I will definitely use her again when we go on trips!
