Small Paws Dog Boarding
Pet care experience
Hello! I recently relocated to sunny San Diego from Kansas City. I have 10+ years experience in formal dog boarding (to include DogVacay, Rover, and Katie's Kennel). I have one playful pup, a pug named Nellie. I have had dogs my entire life, can't imagine life without them truly. Am great with puppies all the way to cozy to seniors. I have volunteered with the Heart of America Humane Society, Kansas City Pet Resource Center, and APA. I look forward to watching your fur babies so you can have a stress-free schedule!
Reviews
Nancy was great with our dog Teddy. A peaceful and calm home to which Teddy fit right in. Text and picture updates were nice to receive. We'd take Teddy back to Nancy for sure.
I am one of those dog owners that wants to find the best dog sitter for my dog Riley when I'm away. Riley had the best time with Nancy. She would take her for long walks, send me photo, and always reassured me that she was having a good time. I couldn't have asked for any one better to take care of Riley.
I am so happy I found Nancy to watch my dog Sancho while my family had a little getaway. Finding a trusted "dog sitter" is always a stress of mine and I couldn't be more happy with the communication and CARE that Nancy provided. She was very warm upon arrival and let Sancho warm up to her with a good belly rub. She took him through many walks throughout the overnight stay and even petted Sancho in the middle of the night until he fell back asleep after he woke up. She updated me often and even sent many pictures of Sancho getting spoiled! :) I know Sancho enjoyed his stay and I look forward to being a return customer for her as she is FANTASTIC! I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a safe, engaged and active care taker for your fur-baby!
Nancy did a fantastic job with my dog, Cooper. Coop has major anxiety issues, and she gave him so much love and attention that the thunderstorms didn't even bother him. She was very accommodating, loving and affectionate with my fur baby, reasonably priced and easy going. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their baby to have a fun filled, relaxing and safe vacation! Thanks Nancy! Cooper can't wait for his next holiday!

I will mimic whatever routine you do at home, to include working on training. Your pup will be included in any activities Nellie and I take on together, and my hope is that he/she/they feel right at home.
Home
Information Nancy H. would like to know about your pet
Any external triggers (bikes, strollers, runners, etc) that we may encounter. If they experience any resource guarding. How they are with other pups. What is your regular routine? - We want to mimic that!
A typical day
Can do dog parks if you want, as long as their recall is good! Happy to take them on walks near the beach, or on the beach. WE will do lots of play, fetch indoors, and snuggling. We can integrate snuffle mats/puzzle toys as well. Ice cubes to cool off in summer, and extra snuggles to warm up in cooler months.
