Cage-Free Dog Boarding | Long Beach
⭐ Trusted by 5-star reviews from repeat pet parents 🏡 Calm, cage-free, home-based dog boarding in Long Beach 📆 Limited January & last-minute availability ✨ Flea prevention must be up to date I’m home full-time and offer calm, cage-free dog boarding and daycare in Long Beach. Now accepting January & last-minute bookings. Your dog receives consistent, attentive care throughout the day — not just drop-ins between errands. I provide a calm, cage-free home environment where dogs are treated like family, not guests. Many pet parents choose me because of my 5-star reviews and positive feedback, which reflect the care, patience, and reliability I bring to every stay. I take pride in making both dogs and their owners feel comfortable and confident. Dogs have been part of my life since the day I was born, and I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m raising my own senior dog, Coco (a 12-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix), and learned how to adjust to special diets, house/crate routines, and gentle senior care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or older and more relaxed, I take the time to understand their individual needs and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment while you’re away.

Excellent!
Yuki loves staying with you. Thanks for the great care.
Marilyn provided a calm loving home for Yuki. He was so happy and its so good to know he was in such good hands!
Marilyn has been excellent watching our dog on two seperate occasions now. She is great with communication, updates with pictures and has been very easy to work with. Our dog has been very comfortable in her home and we can tell that she has been very well cared for
We had such a wonderful experience with Marilyn. She watched our dog for a couple of days and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Her communication was great throughout the stay, and we truly felt at ease knowing he was in loving hands. On the last day, she surprised us with the sweetest little photoshoot of him wearing sunglasses and shared six adorable pictures that absolutely made our day. It was such a thoughtful and fun touch and really shows how much she cares. We highly recommend Marilyn to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Marilyn is so great! Obi can’t wait to see her whenever we arrive!!

Schedule
Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I’m home throughout the day. Dogs are integrated into my normal schedule with regular potty breaks, meals, supervised play, and rest time. Because I’m home, I’m able to monitor dogs closely and adjust the day as needed based on their energy level, age, and comfort. Care stays consistent from morning through evening so dogs feel settled and secure.
