Dog Boarding in Occidental

“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!”

“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.”

I offer soulful, playful, attentive doggy daycare in a calm, loving, energetically clear environment where your pup can thrive.

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. Your pup will be loved, walked, watered, nourished, and returned to you even more joyful than when you dropped them off. What I Offer: 🐕‍🦺 Safe, dog-friendly home space 🌿 Calm energy, music, love, and play 🚶‍♀️ Walks, snacks, naps, and enrichment 📸 Photo & video updates during their stay 🦴 Experienced with multiple dogs and all personalities 💌 Heart-led communication and flexibility Your pup isn’t just “watched” here—they are seen. And they’ll leave tail-wagging, nervous system soothed, and spirit high. Let’s connect! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them a day they’ll never forget. Animals are a central part of my life and flow. I create my weekly schedule with spaciousness, presence, and intention—making sure your pets receive grounded, attuned care every time. I structure my days to allow for long walks, quality playtime, calm companionship, and clear communication with both you and your furry family. Whether I’m housesitting for a few days or doing daily daycare drop-ins, I treat it like sacred rhythm, not side hustle.

Every animal I care for is met with presence, respect, and deep love. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I create a grounded, playful, and peaceful environment where they can feel safe, soothed, and free to be fully themselves.

In Your Home: I treat your space with deep respect and reverence. I keep your pet’s routines consistent, their comfort prioritized, and their nervous system regulated. 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.

“Hannah & Noah were great! Had a last minute trip and our usual sitter wasn’t available so we chose Hannah & Noah to watch our golden retriever. She sent pictures and texts through the trip!”

“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 :)”

“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”

“Leslie was a wonderful sitter for Lola. We have used her twice and she will continue to be our go-to whenever we're in Guernville. She has a great house perfect for dogs and she was incredibly easy going. Would highly recommend!”

“Oksana was a great sitter for my elder pup. She made her feel right at home and my dog wasn’t even anxious at her house on the 4th of July when the fireworks happened. Oksana was easy to communicate with too. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”

“Caleb and his husband were tremendous. It was our pups first time boarding and his tummy had a hard time with the adjustment but they helped him be as comfortable as possible. Our boy was well cared for and truly seemed to enjoy his stay with them. Caleb communicated very well and handled everything professionally and with compassion. Very grateful for these two.”

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 .

“Catherine and her little doggie provided a perfect weekend retreat for Digby, and we are grateful. I recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their furry friend with a trusted sitter.”
