Dog Boarding Rancho San Rafael

“Albina is a dream come true for anyone hoping to find a kind and considerate dog boarder. She was wonderful with my mom's dogs and they took right to her. I highly recommend Albina as a dog boarder!”

“Bill took great care of Winnie while we were out of town for the weekend! He is an attentive and caring sitter. When we picked Winnie up she was happy and well cared for.”

“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”

“Biscuit had an amazing time here. It was like a second home. Angelica was amazing with communication and updates. Will definitely use her in the future for all biscuit care!”

“Yulia was great! She sent updates with photos and videos throughout my trip! She made me feel at ease. She was so kind and caring! My first time ever using Rover and leaving my dog with a stranger and I will 100% use her again.”

“There is no better feeling than coming back from a trip to find that your dog wants to stay and play some more - though it was sad to find out i was so easily replaced! Of course he was happy to see us but then pretty much went back to playing with the other dogs and then ran back over to Margaret to visit her. This was my experience when i came to pick up Snickers and this is definitely not always the case when i have had him stay elsewhere. Also, from what i can tell he seemed to have eaten all the food we had alloted and didn't seem especially hungry once we got home. All that to say that it points to him having a great and stress-free time. He was just tuckered out from playing so much :) This was our first stay with Margaret and I found her to be very responsive and clear in all our communications. Ours was a last minute request where we needed to go out of town for long weekend to finish up our move to LA. When our return trip got delayed, she accomodated a request to delay our pickup until the next day. She really removed all the stress of boarding our little pup . One the the perks of boarding with Margaret was the cast of playful dogs you might find in her shaded backyard/play area. She seems thoughtful in assessing how the various dogs will get along and has plans in place should any dogs need to be in separate areas. Mr. Snickers hasn't had a lot of opportunity to socialize with dogs since we moved so this was a real boon for us. Last point to add is that she regularly sent us updates with pix and videos so we had a sense of how it was going each day. In short, she does her best to make a home away from home for the dogs she cares for and I'd highly recommend her.”

“Extremely attentive host. I was able to book an extend last minute due to family emergency and received daily updates. Will definitely book again in the future!”

“Fantastic pet sitter who took exceptional care of my cat! She sent plenty of photos throughout the stay and it was clear my cat was happy and comfortable. Very attentive and professional - would highly recommend Irina’s services to any pet owner.”

Leonard V.

“Charlie was sooooo great! I not only felt like I found a great dog-sitter but also met a wonderful person in general! I’d definitely book with her again!”

Jessie H.

“Once again, Frances went above and beyond for Frodo! He ran into her house on arrival without looking back and was reluctant to leave her when we picked him up. She takes care of him and his medical needs so incredibly well and keeps him occupied during his waking hours and soothes him when he's tired - which is often! I can't recommend Frances enough.”

Karin B.

“Best dog sitter ever! Bella loves going to see her, and she always sends pictures and updates and makes sure my baby is loved. Thank you Kimberly!!”

Laura M.

“Tamar watched our French bulldog, Kuma, for a week and did a phenomenal job! She made sure he was comfortable in her home and sent us tons of adorable photos every day, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Kuma and treated him like her own. She even made sure all of his belongings were cleaned, washed, and returned in perfect condition. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will definitely book with her again in the future! 🐶✨💕”

Madelyn R.

“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”

Stevie B.

“Ryder loves Greg and we appreciate all the updates and knowing our pup is well cared for with lots of outside time at Greg’s house. Will definitely book again!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”

Leonel A.

“Loretta and her family were wonderful with my two dogs. One of my dogs has anxiety and is very skittish around new people. I brought my dogs to meet them about two weeks prior to leaving on my vacation. They have a great yard and I felt it would be a great place for them. Loretta and her family went above and beyond and my dogs felt so comfortable and happy while they were there. They played with them, gave me updates and sent photos and gave them a bath and groomed them. I absolutely will recommend them for anyone needing boarding for their dogs. Thank you Loretta and I will be using your boarding services again soon!”

Stacy P.

“Dan was fantastic with Nancy. I was nervous about her staying with other dogs but he is seasoned and has the feeding already worked out. She had a blast and came home happy. Will definitely book with Dan again!”

Sara H.

“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
