Dog Boarding Merced

“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”

I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”

“This was the first time ever leaving our Riley with anybody other than family. We were very nervous, but Kimberly eased our anxiety right away with her gentle and inviting nature toward us and Riley. She took great care of him and kept us updated with many pictures and videos. It allowed us to enjoy our trip even more knowing that he was in good hands.”

“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

“Nikita took excellent care of Sadie, our golden doodle! It didn't take her long at all to adopt Nikita as her substitute "Mom" 🤩 We had never left Sadie, and we were nervous, but I was immediately put at ease when we first met her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, and even some videos throughout the stay. Her place is very well maintained and clean. I will definitely use her in the future! Thank you Nikita!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and professional background in caring for both animals and people. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage. From energetic puppies to beloved seniors. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands on experience with animal handling, administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate care. Today, I’m a nurse, bringing the same calm, attentive, and safety focused approach to every life I care for. I’m trained in canine CPR and emergency life saving measures, so your pet’s well being is always my top priority. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to pet sit because they know I treat every animal like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a sweet 9 year old Pomeranian/Chihuahua named Phil. He’s incredibly gentle, loves other animals, enjoys cuddling, and spends most of his day happily napping. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, or full of energy, I’ll provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work night shifts Monday through Thursday, while my husband works during the day, so our schedules allow for frequent supervision and plenty of one on one attention. We keep your pet’s routine as close to home as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. If your baby enjoys sleeping in bed, they’re welcome to cuddle with me just like my Phil. I naturally wake throughout the night (day) every 2-3 hours to let the babies out for potty breaks if needed. I take Phil on two walks every day. Once in the morning after work and again in the evening before my shift. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving home where every baby becomes apart of our family. I provide care in my home, where your babies safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced, secure backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time. For added safety, my front door is located behind a locked gate, creating an extra barrier that helps prevent the little cuties from accidentally getting outside. Inside, pups become our family, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm environment. I carefully follow each pups feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special care they need. With my experience as a veterinary assistant and my nursing background, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and know how to respond quickly if concerns arise. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and loving home where you can feel completely confident leaving your babies in my care.

“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”

“My father-in-laws dog couldn't have been in better hands. A wonderful yard to "investigate" in, a couple of other dogs to play with. A wonderful family who you can tell, loves dogs. We will be using Sarah and Jamey again for sure.”

“Energy is unmatched. So Kind and had autumn so comfortable and out and about 10/10 !!”

Timothy C.

“Natalie and the rest of her family apparently took exceptional care of our Sasha!. She also sent us pictures of Sasha!, integrated with her family, everyday. She came back with energy and very clean. Sometimes our Sasha! comes home from other kenneling locations unkempt, moist, smelling of urine, and seemingly spooked from the experience. No thank you. We will use Natalie again for kenneling our Sasha!”

“Estefany took very good care of our Nova. She sent pictures regularly.”

Lina H.

“Ollie loved staying with Christienne! It’s an amazing location and my pup loved the fresh air and open space. I’m assuming that because he had me drop the windows so he could sniff as we left the house.”

Jesse V.

“Nelson was great with my pup kids, we got updates regularly and took care of Andy and Shadow as if they were his own. I would recommend him and I can’t recommend him enough.”

Francisco M.

“Morgan always does amazing with my malinois puppy! Bella is a ball of energy, but always makes taking care of her look easy! She’s literally the puppy whisperer 🤭 Thanks for everything always 🩷”

Briana C.

“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”
