Dog Boarding in Paradise

“Danielle is great with my dogs who are reactive to children, men, and dogs. She’s careful to who she lets around them and ensures the boys are not in stress mode before introducing them to possible stressors. She asks questions and sends the most beautiful photos of them to confirm their safety and well-being, and they’re always happy to see her!”

“She was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using anyone from the app, so I was a little skeptical and hesitant but she was so helpful. She is very sweet and caring. She would even send me pictures and updates everyday which I loved very much. My boy Max and I loved the family and dogs and will definitely be coming back.”

“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”

“I left my sweet but high-medical needs senior lab, Opal, with Kena and her family, and they took perfect care of her. Her kids were immediately gentle and kind to Opal, greeting her, petting her ears, and helping to brush her. Over the weekend I got updates about how Opal was doing, reassurance that she was getting her meds, and lovely photos of her resting or exploring in the yard. When I went to pick Opal up, she was happy to see me, but it was clear she felt very at home with Kena and the kids, and it even took a little convincing to get her to come out the door with me to get in the car. I would take her back to Kena for future care in a heartbeat.”

“The best dog sitter in the world she went above and beyond to care for my fur baby even had a birthday party for her I could not have asked for more or a better sitter would recommend to ANYONE”

“Kadin was great with Luna and sent updates with pics without me even having to ask! She had fun playing with all of his dogs. I will definitely call Kadin the next time we go out of town.”

“Giovanna was great. Maddie had a great 8 night stay with Giovanna. She has a great home and is very nice. Giovanna sent photo updates. Maddie was well taken care of and I highly recommend Giovanna if you are looking for someone to watch your dog. I will be contacting her next time I need someone to watch Maddie.”

“Bianca did a great job taking care of our Boston/Frenchie for the weekend. He is very energetic at 15 months old and can be a bit stubborn. Thank you Bianca!”

“Skylar was excellent with our big dog. He came home happy and tired out from getting to run on his large property. Definitely recommend! He is very polite and great with dogs!”

“One of the best sitters on here! I completely trust Deena and her husband with my pup. Stella always has a blast when she goes there and she even gave us peaches 🥰 She sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you feel comfortable and know what’s going on. I highly recommend!!”

“Heather is an amazing pet sitter. I know this because my fur baby didn’t want to go home after spending the day with her. He even tried to climb the stairs back up to her apartment but I had to pull him away. My feelings got a bit hurt but it’s cool. Going to Heather is like going to grandma’s for Archie, my fur baby.”

“Sharice and her family were awesome. Riley had a blast. Thanks again!”

About: Hi! As a dog/cat mom myself, I understand the struggle of trusting a stranger with your fur baby and my main goal is loving your animals as if they were my own! All animals welcome and adored! Feel free to shoot me a message with any questions or inquiries! I work Mondays - Thursdays. I’m usually off work and back in Chico by around 5:15 pm. I am available on the days I work to do potty breaks/walks after 5:30 pm. I also have a SUV and can make myself available to take your dog on walks/out and about. I am unable to leave work to come back to Chico during my shifts, however, my boyfriend and I live together so he is able to let the dogs out/etc before he goes into work on the days he is scheduled. Just shoot me a message with your inquiries and I’ll do my best to accommodate and help out because I understand how important it is to make sure fur babies are taken care of by good people! We have two dogs and two cats that all get along just fine. The dogs are allowed on the bed but not on the couch. When leaving our home, the dogs are kenneled. We have two kennels, one in which both of our dogs are kenneled together. If your dog is not kennel friendly, scheduling would just need to be more considered by me and I could work around that.

“Tylyn was wonderful with my pup! She sent me lots of pics and updates on her walks and throughout the day. She administered my dog’s meds when needed and let me know how things were going. I loved knowing that my baby was safe and comfortable in good hands with plenty of outdoor space. Highly recommend Tylyn and will gladly rebook.”

“Jennifer sent photos, a video, and daily updates while my girls were in her care. They seemed very comfortable in her home. Thank you Jennifer for taking care of them like they were yours.”

“Macy took great care of my energetic puppy for the weekend. She sent photos and checked in with me! Thanks for being patient with my pup and taking great care of her!”

About: I started caring for animals as a child which led to professional care beginning in high school as a dog groomer which later led to work in a Veterinary office on the Ridge. I have been trusted to care for friends and families animals for brief and extended periods. In my personal life I have owned more than 15 animals including cats and dogs. Although, I do not own animals at this time. Animals are our children- family members, and they deserved to be cared for as nothing less. I am a stay-at-home mother and work part-time at my church leaving me plenty time to care for your fur-baby. Seven days a week I am open to serve your needs- day time and night. Animals are treated as family in my home. When we go for a walk- they come, too. Lots of sunshine is shared as we all play outside running and jumping. When we eat they join us for a snack of your choosing. We read or settled down in the evenings with a movie where your fur-baby gets to snuggle up on the couch or in their favorite bed or blanket. Bedtime is another opportunity for cuddles or space depending on what your fur-baby chooses. Comfort and individualized care is key. When a bath is needed or desired- it will be given. When hungry- your fur-baby eats, according to your routine. You are in control of what works best for your baby. Fur-babies in my home are on vacation not in boarding.

“Suzanne did an amazing job with taking care of my dog while away. I would totally recommend her to anyone.”

“Alyse sent me pictures and video of my fur baby and informed me how he was doing during vacation. I also like the idea of not taking more than one dog at a time so more attention can be given to my dog. Alyse is a responsible and trustworthy person and I highly recommend her and I would definitely use her service in future.”
