Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced In-Home Dog Boarding
I have worked with animals almost my entire lifetime, starting at age 10 with horses. I'm the kind of person who took in, and rescued any animal who needed it (mice/ rats/ fox cubs/ parrots/ ducks - you name it!). Growing up in an isolated farming community in rural England was conducive to this. By my early teens I moved on to raise money for animal rescue charity’s such as the WWF and RSPCA. I am certified in Pet first aid, and whilst not busy with running my dog walking business, I'm pursuing dog training certification, and aspire to study Animal Behavior MSC. I have been in the dog care business in California since 2009, I recently made Lake Hughes my home and am opening my schedule to the local community for dog boarding.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My pup had the best time, Thea sent me the best pics of him frolicking and playing, he was so happy.
My dog, King, was so happy and well taken care of, can’t recommend enough.
She was very sweet and great with sending updates. The only thing negative I will say is location. There’s no road and no warning you will have to go off roading on a very sketchy mountain top with big ups and down and extremely narrow turns that you have to make super slow. The drive had me terrified! Not to mention we as well encountered a huge gopher snake outside while dropping our fur children off. There was a bunch of other dogs they’re just in crates like her whole house was filled with dogs other rooms had dogs like it was a dog filled home. Again Thea was very sweet and great with sending updates but I will not be returning to her !
Thea was AMAZING!!! She was great with updating us on our pup while we were away and he had a blast!! Thanks again Thea can’t wait to use you again for our next vacation 😊
I can't recommend Thea enough! She was absolutely amazing with my two dogs (Great Dane and Maltese-Poodle) treating them with such care and attention that I felt completely at ease while I was away. Her home is cozy and welcoming. Perfect for dogs and it's tucked away in a peaceful, nature-filled setting that gave my pups a little vacation of their own. She kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which meant the world to me. It was clear they were not only safe but truly happy and comfortable in her care. We'll definitely be returning. Thank you so much Thea!
Thank you Thea for your help with Maya, everything went well. I am very sorry that things are so complicated with Maya. We appreciate your work.

Schedule
Your dogs will join my pack! Between myself and several of my trusted live-in ranch workers (also experienced in pet care) we provide 24hour supervision in a in-home setting!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will stay inside of my home, we can section off separate areas depending on how well your dog is adjusting to our pack. If your dog prefers to keep to himself he might score his own private bedroom! If he/she prefers a crate, that is ok too! We are experienced in knowing how to adjust for each personality type. We have a fenced in yard outside, and if you are comfortable with it, your dog is welcome to roam our 20-acre property (with supervision of course) during bathroom and exercise breaks. They may even get lucky and meet one of friendly ranch livestock (with supervision of course) that are all accustomed to dogs!
Pets
A typical day
I will provide your pet with the physical exercise and mental stimulation he or she needs to maintain a well balanced and happy lifestyle during your absence. We are on 20 acres of beautiful high desert terrain, so there is plenty of room for roaming, play, walks and hikes. We have fenced in outdoor areas for those that prefer not to have their dogs roaming free-range during playtime. At night your dog will stay indoors in a temperature controlled sectioned off area (or crate if you prefer).
