** PLEASE READ MY PROFILE COMPLETELY **, this is a part time hobby for me, I MAY NOT be available WEEKDAYS for all your needs, so please READ my entire profile before making contact. Also please check out the "rates and services" section on my profile for my price list. NEW GUESTS OF MY SERVICE PLEASE READ THIS: We MUST have a successful Meet and Greet between our pups before I can accept reservations from new guests. Hello there! My pets are my family. Allow me to treat your pets as family too. I live in the Long Beach area near Cypress and Los Alamitos. I have two small Dachshund mixes named Chester and Sheila that I rescued from a shelter. They would love to have some friends over to play in their house and 8 foot high fenced in BIG back yard (see pictures). In my spare time I volunteer at the SPCALA pet adoption center and the City of Long Beach Animal Care Services, and help find forever homes to needy dogs. I have been a volunteer with SPCALA since 2009 and at LBACS since 2015. During this time I have helped train, exercise and socialize all different breads and sizes of dogs, including puppies. My standard service is supervised boarding, daycare, dog walks, and sitting. I am available most weekends (Friday EVENINGS after 8PM thru Sunday nights), check my calendar. I have a full time job in an office M-F, 1000 to 1900. If interested in weekday boarding (I can remotely supervise via puppy cams during the workday), ask and depending on your needs we could probably work something out. I have 6 puppy cams that can be set up through out the house so I can keep an eye them from anywhere at anytime. Don't worry as Chester and Sheila will keep your pet company during the weekdays :-) Boarding and daycare includes 1 walk daily and unlimited play time in my large grassy back yard. Your dog will have free roam of my house and back yard. I prefer to host small to medium sized dogs at first until my little dogs get used to hosting guests. I have a medium sized doggy door to the backyard, so your pups will have free roam of my house and be free to go inside and out to the play and potty in the back yard as much or as little as they like. ** Note: Rates for boarding over major holidays are slightly HIGHER. "Drop-in visits" are where I would stop by and visit your dog(s) at your house before and after work or on weekends, feed them, play with them, and generally check up on them. This is a cheaper and less expensive option for less social dogs or dogs that can get stressed out easily. “House Sitting” would be to stay with your pup(s) at your residence. I also text or email you pictures and updates so you know you little one is having fun. Thank you for considering my services. I appreciate your business. ~Ralph PS IF you are looking to spoil your pups check out BARKBOX DOT COM, they will send your dogs boxes of toys and goodies each month.
