Dog Boarding in Mojave, CA

“Lauren is great! She is super friendly and was very attentive with our 2 dogs. You can tell she truly enjoys pets and she checked in with us as requested. The dogs were happy (and surprisingly clean) when we came to pick them up. There’s plenty of room for the dogs to run around out back and I feel like Lauren gave them the same amount of love we would. Highly recommend!”

“Max was so thoughtful when looking after our dogs. They had a great time and all their different needs were catered for. Max kept us updated with photos and was careful to ensure all had a great stay, and we were able to relax, knowing that our dogs were in 'good hands'. We'd highly recommend using Max as our dog sitter.”

“My family went out of town and we needed someone to watch over our four fur babies for us. Lilia and Antonio took fantastic care of them for two weeks. Their home is amazing, their personalities are amazing and they took photos of the animals while they were on their mini vacation. We are so grateful. Thank you for everything!”

Marissa D.

“Natalie was so friendly and easy to talk to, always keeping me in the loop with updates, photos, and messages that showed my dog was happy and doing great. I was very happy to pick up a cheerful, well-cared dog. I definitely would want to book with Natalie again.”

Nancy V.

“Nancy is a fabulous sitter, we were extremely concerned because we left last minute, but Nancy was outstanding in our home. Our doggies were in excellent condition, calm, joyful, well fed, and our home was impeccable. We were so indredibly blessed to find someone as professional, responsible, and extremely reliable as Nancy. On top of everything she was courteous responding to our text and very thoughtful sending us pictures everyday we were away. She was superb! ”

About: Tucked away in the mountains, my off-grid home is more than just a boarding space—it’s a peaceful, nurturing retreat where both dogs and cats can feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and caring for them is second nature to me. Maybe it’s the Leo in me, but I’ve always been drawn to the independent, curious nature of cats, just as much as the loyalty and energy of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually—their quirks, their comforts, and their communication style—because no two are the same. Whether they need adventure, structure, play, or just a quiet place to rest, I tailor their stay to what suits them best. My own pack includes two amazing dogs, both of whom I’ve raised since they were pups—an Australian Kelpie who thrives on activity and focus, and a Husky/Malamute mix who loves adventure just as much as I do. I also have two incredibly special cats, Face and Lilith. Face, my shadow and best friend, was once a wary barn cat who took 1.5 years to trust me. Now, he hikes with me and my dogs, showing an adaptability I’ve never seen in another cat. Lilith, my Hemingway cat, appeared as a tiny, helpless kitten in the woods and has since grown into a thriving, playful companion. Recently, I also took on the challenge of caring for and finding homes for 21 puppies all at once—an experience that reinforced my deep commitment to the well-being of every animal that comes into my care. For dogs, my home offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort, with plenty of space to roam, explore, and play. For cats, I provide a dedicated, dog-free space downstairs, designed just for them, complete with padded, cloth-covered shelves, sunlit lounging spots, and plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged. Cats are never let outside unless specifically requested by their owner, ensuring their safety. Whether you have a dog who thrives on companionship and outdoor adventure or a cat who craves quiet comfort and personalized care, my home is a place where they will be loved, understood, and cared for like family. I do have a large fenced back yard which is behind expanded currently. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s fully integrated into my daily life. Living off-grid and working from home means I don’t have a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so my time revolves around the animals in my care. From the moment I wake up, I’m tending to their needs—letting dogs out to stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air, preparing meals tailored to each pet, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I engage with them in ways that suit their personalities—whether it’s a long hike through the woods for high-energy dogs, quiet companionship for more relaxed pets, or interactive play for curious cats. Because I’m always home, no animal is ever left alone for long. I have the flexibility to adapt to their needs in real-time, whether it’s providing extra comfort for a nervous newcomer or giving an active pup the extra exercise they crave. At night, every pet settles in safely, knowing they are in a warm, loving environment. Caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s simply my way of life. Exercise and outdoor time are a big part of my daily routine. I take my dog for runs or walks multiple times a day, exploring the beautiful mountain trails and giving them the movement they need. If your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, I’d be happy to include them in these outings, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and enrichment. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a high-energy run, I tailor the experience to match their needs and comfort level. If your pet has special needs—such as medication, a specific feeding routine, or any other care requirements—I’m happy to integrate that into my daily schedule. Every animal is different, and I make sure to accommodate their unique needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

“Heather was a fabulous find on Rover! We made very last minute plans to go to Big Bear for New Years Eve and needed a last minute dog boarding. Heather was available and very responsive to your request. Our dog Skylar got along great with Heather's dog and her young family. We will absolutely use Heather again int he future! Highly Highly recommend!!”

“Jenna was amazing. She sent multiple pictures of my dog Blue every day. This was our first time using Rover and Jenna was perfect! Blue had such a great time with her and she was a life saver for being able to watch him over Christmas and New Years. Will be booking again with Jenna if the need arises. :)”

“Tynesh, was so sweet and caring. She took great care of Harriet and I welcomed her into her home gracefully. I would absolutely book Tynesh again. She has a lovely home, a very sweet doggie of her own that got a lot so well with mine. It was a great experience.”

“Stephanie is the best! This is my first time leaving my pet to anyone and i’m so happy with the outcome! She is very communicative and offers a lot of play time for your fur baby. We were able to enjoy our 2 day getaway knowing our boy was in good hands.Definitely will be coming back 😊🙏🏽”

About: I have been working with dogs from the start of their puppy stages to adult ones as well. I enjoy working with dogs when they are around. I am self employed so I can fit them in anywhere into my schedule. I have a place that I can have them overnight if it’s an overnight booking as well. I would care for them as I do mine. I have a 6 month old puppy who gets along so well with other dogs and she is on a scheduled potty break session and is getting plenty of outside playtime as well.

“Bri was Great! She did really well with Charlie and Charlie really liked her and her family. I would definitely recommend her to anybody that asked me. I really like that she sent me updates and pictures it made my away from home much more comfortable.”

About: I know how stressful it can be when you can't take your pets with you on vacation. When your pup stays with us, you can trust that they are in good hands and they will be treated like family! My two Aussies and I would love to hang out with your dog! We have a backyard with a pool and a good daily routine. We want you and your pup to feel safe and comfortable staying with us! I work from home and my dogs are my first priority. Breakfast and potty at 7am, lunch at noon, dinner at 6pm. I usually check in with them every 3-4 hours to see if they need to go out. We do outdoor play in the yard or pool around 2pm for an hour if the weather permits. And we all relax in the evening and everyone gets a potty break and bed time treat around 9:30pm. The dogs are always under my watch, and I’ll spend my time with them making sure they’re doing good. They will never be out of my supervision.
