Pet care experience

Loving Dog Boarding in Irvine

I have several years of experience caring for small dogs and truly enjoy creating a safe and calm home environment for them. I currently have a friendly 5-year-old Maltese who is very gentle and used to being around other small dogs. Because of him, I only accept small/ medium dogs (under 35 lbs) that are friendly and social. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable while they are away, so I always provide daily photo and video updates. Your dog will stay in a clean, quiet home environment with lots of attention, outdoor time in a fenced backyard, and plenty of companionship throughout the day.

We appreciated reading the daily updates and photos sent by John. We are full of gratitude knowing how much our dog Bryce enjoyed his stay and having a playmate in Sonny. Seeing the big smiles on both of their faces was wonderful. When he curls up next to you, it is a sure sign that he feels completely safe and loved. We thank John & family for welcoming Bryce into their home and giving him such special and loving care. Bryce truly found a wonderful home away from home with John and family.

John was wonderful with Benji! He took great care of him and kept us updated throughout the stay, including sharing lots of pictures, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that Benji was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. John was also very thoughtful and packed up the rest of Benji’s food for us. We really appreciate his care and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide constant supervision and companionship for the dogs in my care. Boarding dogs stay in a home environment and are never left alone for long periods. Dogs get regular potty breaks, backyard time, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and meet-and-greet appointments throughout the week.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will stay in a clean, calm, and safe home environment. I live in a single-family house in Irvine with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air. I only accept a small number of dogs at a time to ensure every dog receives enough attention and care. Dogs are supervised, provided with regular potty breaks, and can rest comfortably indoors. My Maltese is friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed. If needed, dogs can also be separated to ensure everyone feels safe.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood, playing with their favorite toys, spending time in the backyard, and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and relaxing cuddle time.
