Highland Doggie Haven

Pet care experience

Maddy, Anakin and I live in a two bedroom house in highland park. The dogs and I are either in the home, in the attached artist studio or on an adventure. If I leave for short periods, the dogs will always be separated by family unless im totally confident of safety. Crates are encouraged for pups or dogs in training. Nondestructive dogs can stay in open areas or bedrooms. Any size or breed is welcome as long as your dog(s) is friendly, mannered, and house trained. Must be fully potty trained. We love seniors and small dogs. Two resident dogs are well socialized. Anakin, a husky, is playful and sweet with all dogs. Maddy, a beagle mix, is more of a couch potato that does her own thing. Both are mellow at home but active for hikes and outings. BOARDING guests get one good walk, hike or dog park outing. Dog parks are an option for those who are socialized AND enjoy it - some dogs don't. * BOARDING includes 24 hour period. Additional hours are billed as daycare. * DAYCARE: Includes up to 8 hours. Great for socialization and playtime. Depending on the time of day and duration may include walk or hike. Owners drop off and pick up anytime within 8 hours. Meal time is supervised until everyone is finished. Dogs with food guarding or aggression are fed in a separate room. I'm well versed in and comfortable administering any medication. I'm experienced in dog behavior including reading body language, recognizing and diffusing tension and tending to anxiety and emotional needs. Getting love and exercise along with being immersed in a balanced pack will keep your pup happy and occupied while mom/dad is away. And of course, parents get text and pic updates for peace of mind.

Roark has had two different overnight stays with Soyoung over the course of the month. She is literally a lifesaver as both visits were longer than a week as I was traveling for the holidays and for work. Soyoung always provided picture and video updates of Roark having a blast with the other pups as well as at the dog park. Roark loves staying with Soyoung! I feel very comfortable with Roark in Soyoungs care. She is extremely professional and accommodating. I am so happy that Rover has introduced us as I will always reach out to Soyoung in the future to see if she is available for daycare, overnight stay or when I am heading out of town! I highly recommend Soyoung for all Rover users in the area!

I had an incredibly good experience with Soyoung, she took care of my older labradoodle who has glaucoma and needs a specific regime of eye drops and medicine, plus can be a little depressed when I'm gone. Soyoung has a great technique of introducing the new dog to her dog pack, and from the pictures she sent Pax was much more at ease being with other dogs than just being cared for by a stranger she didn't know.

Our pup loves going to stay with Soyoung. We couldn’t be happier with her! She’s super quick to respond to our needs and very good with dogs!

Soyoung is great and really understands dogs needs and can read them very well! Feel great about my rescue dog who has some issues in her care.

Information Soyoung K. would like to know about your pet

I require a meet and greet prior to all guest bookings. We meet outside on the street. Maddy Anakin and I will walk ahead of you and your dog until all dogs are exhibiting calm and submissive behavior. Then your dog will be handed off to me seamlessly. Keeping Anakin's head just slightly ahead of your dog's will allow your pup to fall into submissive pack mode. This is the correct way to walk all dogs into a home together - calm, stable, and unified. Things I need to know about you and your dog - insecurities, instabilities in behavior, nervous or in need of rehab. ball aggression, food aggression, fence, and leash aggression. abuse history.

A typical day

Hikes in the Highland Park area, Pasadena and Angeles Forest Favorite dog parks are South Pawsedena and Hermon. Guest dogs will join resident dogs in daily outings. If mom or dad permit, we can go to the dog park, on errands, local walks and hikes.
