Dog Boarding in Monte Rio, CA

“I can always tell how my dog’s stay was based on his mood, and Lenny was so relaxed when I picked him up from Darina and Blake. I think that alone speaks highly of how he was treated. They’re responsive, friendly, and flexible on planning - I definitely foresee more doggy boarding with them in the future.”

“Bernadette watched and fed our little dog while we went to dinner for the night. She was very accommodating and communicative through the whole process. We would recommend her for dog-sitting, especially for small dogs.”

“As always, we are exceptionally delighted with the fact that Abby gets to spend our away time with Melissa. We receive daily updates and photos and have every confidence in the world that Abby is happy and well cared for. Melissa is a treasure, we are incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover and would not consider leaving Abby with anyone else.”

“I have had so many dog sitters and none of them have been as reliable and trustworthy than Devon. He always makes extra effort to ensure all three of my very active dogs get their full energy spent ! He loves our animals and tends to all the details of the home and pets while I’m at work and it is giving me so much peace knowing this gets handled when I’m away !!! I suggest him 100!”

“My dogs seemed to have a great time staying with Veronica and her husband! One of my dogs requires heart medication and eye drops multiple times a day and Veronica was able to handle that no problem. In fact, she inquired about some extra medication that was in my doggy’s overnight bag to make sure she didn’t miss anything. I like that attention to detail! Veronica provided updates and pictures of the doggies’ stay which we appreciated. I would recommend and trust Veronica as a responsible dog sitter ?”

“Brandi is amazing! She takes very special care of our Luna. We always feel so confident and happy leaving our special girl with her. She provides regular updates and cares so much. Thank you Brandi!”

“Angelina is amazing!! She clearly”

“Jesika took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy, Sloopy. She was attentive to Sloop’s abilities based on her age, and quickly folded her into her pack- providing socialization and comfort to Sloop over a prolonged stay. On the owner side, I was delighted by how many pictures I got of Sloopy and how communicative Jesika was- made leaving a puppy a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend leaving your pup with Jesika- she is thoughtful, considerate, and attentive (and lives in dog paradise :)”

“Emma was very kind and loving towards my dog she's very knowledgeable about animals, is very dependable, she also groomed my dog her years of grooming experience and veterinary experience and overall love for caring of animals really shines thru in her passion for her work it's good to know my Dog is safe in her hands and she'd be able to recognize any signs of distress I'd definitely use her services again ❤️”

“Indijah takes care of my two babies every time I am out of town. She follows all of my instructions( feeding, medications, etc.) and makes sure to administer plenty of love.I know they are in good hands and I never have to worry!”

“Five stars. We loved Megan for the care she gave to our Erroll (Jack Russell Terrier). The timing for pickup and drop-off was easy to coordinate, and she kept us up to date with texts & photos during the visit. Erroll made himself at home in his bed, on the couch, and in the sunny back deck and garden area. Thank you, Megan (and family!).”

“Hello. My name is Josie. I know Alfonso from his time living in my neighborhood. We go out of town to go camping 3 or 4 times a year. When we leave we always have Alfonso watch our cat and he has always been so great with her. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“We are so happy to have found Caitlin! She was so considerate, accommodating and communicative and took such good care of our pup. Our dog Stevie seemed to love it there, and even got a good hike with her new friend Tucker. Will definitely be a repeat visitor :)”

“Kirsten was such a great caretaker for our kitty! Great communicator, flexible and kind. Our kitty seemed very happy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.

“Excellent sitter! Our dog Bear did so well with her and her dog Rosie. Crystal works during the day, but always made sure to get home quickly to check on Bear-shw spoiled him! She was always communicative & sent pictures daily. We will call on her again!”

“Daniel, my son always wanted a dog. But it was never in the cards for our family, due to work schedules, time away from the house and other activity's. Then Daniel met his sweetheart and she came into his life with Joey. A temperamental pom rescue who thought he was king. Joey soon realized that Daniel was the pack leader and fell into line. I enjoyed watching my son become attached to Joey. His skills and compassion for the dog, helped Joey get over his rescue trauma and he became the mascot for our family. My granddaughter even referring to Joey as her cousin. Unfortunately, Joey passed of old age, leaving a hole in the family to be filled. My son is excellent with dogs and would take care of your dog as he took care of his own.”

“Kate is absolutely the best! We felt instantly comfortable with her caring for our fur babies. She went out of her way to accommodate us and has been such a wonderful home away from him for our pups. The consistent photo updates are perfectly timed. It’s clear she really cares because they are so relaxed when we return. We sad to leave the area but will happily drive an hour to have our pups stay with Kate anytime we have to travel.”

“Marina took great car of our dog while we were in town on a vacation. She sent lots of photos, seemed to really care about our dog, and was easy to communicate with. Would book again if we were in town again!”
