Kennel Free, Exclusive Care

Pet care experience

My hours are 8 am to 6 pm. If you really care for your pet, give them the BEST. I am not a boarding kennel. I take only SEVERAL PETS at any given time so that they can receive my FULL PERSONAL ATTENTION. I WORK FROM HOME SO AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE. If this is the type of attention you feel your special pets deserve, call me. Leaving the area for a vacation or visiting beautiful Palm Springs, why not let your favorite pet enjoy a little rest and relaxation in the desert? Your loving friend will receive VIP care and attention 24/7 in my beautifully landscaped yard enclosed by an 8 foot brick wall. They will have access to two separate yards through two doggy doors. Space is limited so that your dog receives personal attention. Any special feeding habits, veterinarian contacts and vaccinations are requested. I look forward to talking and meeting with both you and your pets. If possible, a "Meet and Greet would be recommended to acclimate your pets to my environment, helping them to better adjust to something new in their schedule.

This is my second time booking with Jahn. Jubilee is always happy when she stays there.

Jon with Doggie Zen Resort was fantastic with my dog, Jade. He truly understands dog behavior and keeps all his doggie boarders safe and manages their needs based on their personalities. His home is best suited for trained, well-balanced dogs.

Jon was great. Quick communication, super flexible, beautiful home and yard, kind, etc. Unexpectedly, our dog didn't vibe well with one of his other boarders so didn't get experience we hoped but that's not Jon's fault.

Jon is passionate about dogs, yours included! Very organized setup and inviting outdoor space. Our cattle dog seemed to enjoy the whole experience.
