Dog Boarding in Rawson, CA

“Genae was accommodating, easy going and understanding. She took good care of all 3 of my fur babies and made accommodations when they had a hard night away from home. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an awesome sitter with an ideal place for smaller dogs, as she has them herself.”

“Youpi had a fine time with Lorrie and her dogs. That's unusual for him because he's usually afraid of big dogs and I was a little concerned about that. But with Lorrie's calming effect and the dogs' friendly attitude he learned that not all big dogs are scary. She credits that with the fact that they are foster dogs and have seen many boarders come and go. It was a great relief to know that he was safe and I was able to get my work done without feeling anxious about him. Thank you Lorrie for the wonderful photos and video. It worked out great!”

“We could not say anything better about Jessi and her ohana. She is, simply said, the BEST caregiver for your dog. She’s attentive, gives constant updates with photos and loves your pet (almost) better than you could. Our Koda was sad to leave them all.”

About: Your pets have my full attention when they’re in my care. I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from dogs and cats to horses and chickens—and I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. In high school, I apprenticed as a vet tech, which gave me hands-on experience with basic medical care, handling anxious pets, and recognizing when something’s wrong. I'm currently raising three dogs, including a working-line German Shepherd trained in service tasks and a high-energy husky/malinois/wolf mix, so I’m no stranger to active, smart pups who need structure and stimulation. I have experience with puppy training, senior care, and building trust with shy or reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, a brisk walk, or mental engagement, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. As a professional photographer, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give your pet consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks are built into our daily routine—weather permitting—and if it’s too hot or stormy, we switch to indoor enrichment and play. I’m usually home during the day and evening unless I’m out for a shoot, and I’ll only accept bookings that allow me to maintain that level of presence and care. Pets in my home or yours will always feel seen, safe, and included. Safety is a top priority in everything I do. My background as a vet tech apprentice helps me spot issues early and ensure all pets stay healthy and comfortable. At home, our dogs are treated like family—but with boundaries. We maintain structure, encourage good behavior, and never let things slide just because a pet is cute (though we do think they’re all adorable). Our home is pet-friendly with lots of enrichment options, supervised outdoor time, and cozy spots to relax. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, routines, and pet’s comfort zones—leaving everything just as I found it (or better).

“Greg and Jamie were great! They watched my pup Mila while I was at a wedding and Mila received so much love and attention and I felt super safe leaving my baby with them. I will definitely be asking for them again next time I need my pup babysat :)”

About: With 3 fully fenced acres, loving hosts and a built-in best friend (our dog Sunny), your dog is sure to have a great time and be well loved by us all. My family is great with dogs and loves to help take care of them! I've raised animals all my life, from pets to livestock. Animal care has been a huge part of my life as well as the connection that comes with knowing and loving each one of them. My husband works from home, and I am a stay-at-home mom, so your pet would be in good care. My husband and I work from home, so we are available to provide care during the weekdays. We are available for hosting over weekends and holidays when we are not out of town! We have 3 fully fenced acres to run and play on, as well as a large dog kennel that is even more securely fenced. We also have a pool courtyard that is gated in and so securely fenced and so there are plenty of options for safe and secure outdoor play. Dogs are more than welcomed in the house. We have one pet - the worlds friendliest dog - named Sunny who loves furry friends and will be a willing playmate for your pet. If your dog is a fence jumper, we will need to know right away as we live on a busy road that can be very dangerous for the dogs. We have young children and so will not accept aggressive dogs for everyone's safety.

“Matt and his family did a great job boarding our dog. There was lots of outdoor playtime and walks, and they made sure Tucker was comfortable for bedtime. We will gladly reach out to Matt in the future for boarding.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Xavier! I really appreciated the updates and could tell you made him feel safe and comfortable. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got back, which says a lot. It means a lot knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need a sitter!”

About: I've volunteered and fostered/ adopted for a dog rescue for about 3 years now. I've seen all types and size of dogs. Never a dull moment!! I'm currently working full-time but my afternoons are free for dog walking. Dog always needs some exercise, and it's a great way to wind down for the evening. I have a fenced yard /area and 2 well behaved dogs that love company. Especially if it's a new dog to show around the house.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I started fostering dogs from time to time when the local shelter has needed some extra help for the past year. I’ve had experience with different types of breeds and some with different medical conditions. I do work full time but, I’m available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays after 4pm! I always enjoy spending time with furry friends! I provide a safe environment for your pet and I am very patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. I have a 4 year old Husky that would be a great companion as well and if not, I can place her in her crate.

“Jessie was great! This was the first time I have dropped my dog, Tango, off with someone other than family and she made the experience very easy and positive. Jessie sent me many photos and updates as requested and treated my dog as her own. It was evident that Tango had gotten plenty of play time and was well taken care of when I picked him up. Jessie seemed very knowledgeable about dogs and was very friendly! I will definitely use her if I am in the area again. :)”

About: I have been involved in raising dogs, cats, livestock and more since I was in diapers. The first part of my childhood was spent living with Shitzu's, while the second half was spent with Bull Mastiffs, shepherds and other medium-large breeds. Simultaneously, I was involved in the caretaking of many cats, sheep, pigs, horses and more fun kinds of animals. I was the kid our neighbors often relied on to care for their pets when they went out of town. My favorite thing about adulthood, and even apart of motherhood that I love, is being able to continue bringing animals into our lives and loving on them for as long as we can. I am also a part-time photographer and will use any chance I can to photograph animals! I am currently a full-time homemaker, caring for our three kids ages 12, 6 and 3 while my husband works full-time as a Law Enforcement Officer. I am an at home baker, part-time teacher to our kids and spend any free time with our pets, family, reading a book or doing creative projects. The majority of my days are spent at home with my kids and our pets. Our cat, Sherlock, is timid at first meeting but quickly warms once he knows mom approves. And our pack of two dogs, Watson and Timber, are always here with us too. We love this close-knit community and there is no shortage of love in this home for animals, that's for sure! We have a moderately sized home with a long, decent sized fenced in backyard. There is a covered kennel in the backyard in addition to a covered patio filled with dog beds and toys for dogs to relax in. Our dogs enjoy swinging with the kids on the tree swing out back or splashing in the plastic puppy pool. In the home, our dogs are welcome anytime, although they prefer to be outside since their double coat makes them easily adjust to outside weather. We are able to crate your pup(s) if needed or they can have free reign of the house while they are visiting. I have experience giving medications and vaccinations, so if needed, your pup would be in good hands no matter what the case.

About: Experienced in caring for dogs and puppies, providing feeding, playtime, and affectionate companionship. Also available to exercise long range ball play in back fenced pasture with available water. Daily availability from 8:00-6:00 pm and possibly later depending on the day. Some weekends are available. Please message with specific dates and times. Thank you! Fully fenced yard and available crates if needed. I’m on 2 acres but cross fenced for close access to the house and fully accessible from the back porch.

About: I've worked with dogs since I was a little girl. I used to take care of my neighbors animals when they would go our of town. I would walk the dogs and feed them. I am an early bird and go to bed late. I currently work at an emergency vet so I am used to the go go life. I want nothing but the best for all my animals I have a fully fenced in yard when I come home for lunch and bring in my dogs because it is to hot. My dogs sleep inside 2 on my bed and the others around it.

“Tracci was a doll! She accepted my 2 Australian Shepherds only hours before we were leaving town for the weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the weekend and seems like such a dog lover. Her house is beautiful and the dogs have lots of space to be inside or outside. We received text and pic updates the whole time. If we ever need dog boarding again this will be our go to! Couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you again Tracci :)”
