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.

Ratings and reviews
Marilyn is great! She asked many questions to know any quirks of my dog and them kept me updated throughout the sitting! I would highly recommend her. King was also very happy with his stay.

Marilyn was wonderful! I know my corgi, Bootsy, was well taken care of and loved during her stay. Marilyn was understanding and accommodating to time changes on my end and I am forever grateful. Will def be a repeat customer! 🥰💜🐶🐾

Our dog loves going Marilyn and family. They love on her and communicate with us frequently with pictures and updates. We keep going back to them. ❤️

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.
