Dog Boarding in Monte Rio, CA

“I'm so happy that I found Lauren to watch Shifty. She sent photos and videos of my pup having a blast daily. I felt safe on my vacation knowing that Shifty was also having a vacation. Lauren treated her like she was a part of her own family. I will definitely call her again whenever I go out of town!”

“My 18 month old puppy lives alone with me and is not used to being without me. But she enjoys being in Brandi's comfortable home with other doggo friends. This visit, Maya was little anxious when I dropped her off. Brandi called me to ask if it was OK for her to get her a "Puppachino". Brandi sent me photos of how happy Maya was after her treat and then she settled in famously. This was our 4th visit to Brandi's home and the added bonus is ....her family. Her entire family showers Maya and all guests with love and attention. Priceless and much appreciated! I wouldn't leave Maya anywhere else.”

“Birgit watched our little terrier mix Juneau for three nights while we stayed nearby at a friend's vacation house that didn't allow dogs. Birgit has a great set up with a fenced yard in a quiet, wooded area. She spends a lot of quality time with the dog she is watching and took Juneau on outings with her for work and around town. Birgit even went the extra mile to drop off sunglasses I forgot, sent updates each day and dropped Juneua off at the end of her stay. Junuea is not an easy dog given her reactivity to other animals but Birgit was a pro and I'd trust her with Juneau again if she'd have us :)”

“Hannah, Noah, and their family were great with Otto! I got regular updates and pictures. When I picked him up, it was the first time he didn't seem ready to leave. It was clear he got a lot of attention and was well cared for. I'll definitely be rebooking with them in the future.”

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

“Heather and Calob were amazing! They watch our puppy for a long weekend and did a great job of keeping her occupied (which is hard for a puppy!). We would highly recommended them for any travel you’re doing, great folks!”

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. From shy seniors to zoomy puppies, I’m here to provide structure, fun, affection, and presence.

I care for your home as an extension of your animal’s sanctuary—leaving it as clean and peaceful as when I arrived. Every animal has a unique soul and story. I tune in to what they’re communicating—verbally, behaviorally, and energetically—so they’re not just looked after, but understood. You can expect: ✨ Regular updates (photos/videos/energy check-ins) 🐕‍🦺 Walks, food, medicine (if needed), and rituals of play/rest 🌿 A safe, sacred, and joyful experience for your beloved 🧼 Clean, respectful care of both animals and space 🕊️ A loving presence attuned to detail, emotion, and energy Because I don’t just “pet sit.” I create a field of trust where animals thrive.
