Dog Boarding in Merced

My name is Bree and I have been a dog lover my whole life. Whether it was taking our family dogs out for hikes or rescuing dogs from animal shelters for rehabilitation and rehoming, my number one priority has always been the comfort and care given to each animal. My goal in undertaking this job is to put myself in the owners shoes and ensuring that everyone is comfortable and happy with the care that is being provided. Whether it’s making sure that your dog is getting the exercise needed, proper bathroom breaks, assistance with crate training, or just cuddles, I aim to make sure that everyone’s needs are met or exceeded. I know that each animal and family has specific needs that need to be met and I do so in a constructive and consistent environment. I maintain leadership of the pack while still remaining someone they are excited to see every day.

Clients

-I welcome dogs over 1 year old, all sizes, housebroken pups, neutered males and unspayed females (not in heat). I cannot take bully breeds or rotties (due to constraints of landlord/housing).

-I do not take high energy dogs at this time. I have a home full of senior dogs that just do not do well with high energy pups.

-Must be cat friendly because I do have a cat :)

Training

-I believe in positive reinforcement. I do not believe the dominance theory in training and the tools that can be used with that (prong collar, shock collar, choke collar) and will not walk a dog wearing these. I will remove shock collars in my home. So please send your pup with an alternate collar or harness if needed.

My Home

-I believe that dogs are family members, so everyone spends the day and night indoors. -When I am home we all go out into the large fully fenced yard.

-All dogs are allowed on bed, couch, etc.

-Dogs are not left unsupervised in yard.

Safety

-All dogs are walked with fitted collars to prevent escaping (preferably harnesses if I have extras) I like using Easy Walk Harnesses or Martingale Collars

-All Rover dogs will get an extra tag on their collar upon arriving with my numbers, for emergency situations.

-Any emergencies will be reported to owner and Rover and will be taken to nearest vet or preferred vet if necessary.

-Dogs are left separate from my dogs and boarders from other homes while I am out of the home.

-All dogs have a separate and safe space for meals.

-Toys and treats are given under supervision.

-I allow my dogs and rover dogs to socialize and play only under direct supervision.

My Pets

-I have four rescues at home.

-All three are fixed, up to date on shots, and take bravecto (for fleas and tics) every 3 months.

-Billy is a male terrier mix, 30 lbs. Billy is very calm, intelligent, social dog.

-Kora is a female beagle mix, 35 lbs. Kora is very friendly, social and special needs. She has glaucoma, for which she gets daily eye drops and cannot see out of one eye.

-Chiquitina is a female cattle dog mix, 45 lbs. Chiqui is intelligent, active, fun.

-Mandy is a female oug mix, 30 lbs.

She is calm and shy.

-Tikal is my ex feral rescued cat.

-All of my dogs are use to having at least 4 rover guests in the house and are very use to the interactions and comings and goings.

LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME: Phone Number # Nine 5 One -Two 5 Two- Five 0 Nine 2. I grew up doing dog shows so I have been around all breeds and know a lot. I can potty them a lot and play. Im 20 and I go to UC Merced as a Public Health Major. Im available a lot. I grew up caring for a lot dogs in my house as my mom is a dog show breeder of standard smooth Dachshunds and I grew up showing dogs of all breeds. Every weekend growing up I would be at a dog show and my mom still does it as a full time hobby. I have been to all the big shows like Westminster etc and have worked for famous dog show handlers. They will be treated like royalty and I get really attached to all the dogs that I meet. There is a dog park one block away if the owner would allow that. Im really patient as I grew up with 10+ dogs. I am good at teaching basic commands and just love dogs in general. I will accept puppies of young age (extra charge) and any age of dog of older. Im caring and all my attention will be on the dog. I am very trustworthy and will make sure your pets are as safe as possible while having fun and proper care. Thank you in advance.

Hello!

My bio:

My name is Jerry, I am 23 years old, a UCSB Alumnus and on the journey of becoming a dentist. I live with my parents in the McSwain area and currently spend the majority of my days at home studying, exercising, eating or hanging out with my little pal Bailey. I have extensive experience working with dogs so your dog will be in professional hands.

House info:

The house is surrounded with a huge front yard and an acre backyard with massive amounts of free space, grass, and dirt to run around on. There is a pool, but every dog will be supervised at all times. Bailey does get walked but obtains most of her exercise playing fetch and simply running around the backyard. There are a bunch of toys to chew on and to play fetch with and a lot of area to sniff and explore.

Service info:

I am very flexible with hours and I work with your time schedule. Plus, I will reduce the price for returning clients if you have multiple dogs. Once you make the booking with me for the second time and any time thereafter, I will make adjustments to the booking so the price is reduced. I understand the cost can add up when you have more than one dog. Your pet will receive a whole lotta love and care and will have a whole lot of fun and excitement. The only thing is I prefer to have friendly, happy and behaved dogs. Furthermore, I will engage your pet in potty training if they are not yet potty trained.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks!

I have over 24 years experience in Veterinary medicine and dog training as a Registered Veterinary Technician. I am a graduate of Purdue University's DOGS program among many other courses. I have studied behavior for 20 years. I am especially experienced with dog who have chronic medical conditions and senior care. I have a large yard, able to provide walks, AND legally give medications, or emegancy care per your Veterinary's instructions. I have worked in every area of veterinary hospitals, from cleaning kennels, physical exams, radiology, pharmacology, assisting in surgery, dental care, behavior modification and performing life saving care in the event of emergencies. I am now retired, home full time and have decided on ROVER to keep myself busy in my chosen field by providing boarding and day care.

I have been taking care of family and friends pets from young puppies to elderly pups(even some cats and kittens), i am willing to follow strict instructions given to me such as when to feed your dog, walk your dog, and if needed when to give them medication. I am comfortable with giving pets oral and eye medication, I am home all day during weekdays and sometime weekends, my attention will be with your pets, if you pick me i am certain your pet will be happy and comfortable. p.s. i do have a pet cat and if needed i can accommodate if there are some altercations, i can take small and medium sized dogs but I am willing to care for larger dogs. Thank you and I hope you choose me.

I like going out for walks on trails and parks. I’m available afternoon and evening on weekdays and all day on the weekends. I’ve had experience with different size and breeds (owned a Rottweiler mix, Pomeranian and currently a golden retriever and a Malti-poo.) I have experience with puppies as well ( my Pomeranian, golden retriever and Malti-poo we’re a month when I first got them I dedicate time for play and basic commands ( sit, stay, lay down, come) I can take them to a local dog park. I can take your dog for a jog if it’s high energy. I can help them socialize with other dogs using my dogs. I do have a decent size yard so playing fetch will be fun for them. All breeds welcome
