“Derek was really great with our corgi! He was very responsive and communicative. Sent lots of photos while watching him for the day. Took him on lots of walks and time to run around at the park. Musubi came home very happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of our fur baby :)”


“Rebekah is extremely caring and communicative. We met her beforehand so our dog and hers could get a feel for each other. Everything went well during the meeting and we knew our dog was in great hands. She sent several updates throughout the day regarding meals and walks, and we really appreciated how much she cared for our dog while we were at work. We will definitely plan on booking with her again soon!”


About: Coming to Open-Play Boarding & Daycare is like a day at a theme park for pets! They have a blast running around and, by the end, are happily exhausted. We provide plenty of clean water and beds in all play yards for pets to relax. If open-play is new for your pet, it’s normal for them to feel more tired and thirsty than usual, so just give them time to rest and drink plenty of water at home!

“Mai was fabulous with my big floof Kleio. This was a pretty last minute booking for me due to a last minute work trip. Mai messaged me within minutes of putting in the request asking some clarifying questions before accepting the booking. Thereafter, she provided detailed instructions for drop off, as well as on what to bring for the day at daycare. I was able to drop my dog off at 6 am. Mai kept me updated on Kleio's day and sent multiple pictures. She was flexible with me on pick up time as I was traveling back from the airport that evening. Kleio clearly enjoyed her time with Mai and she slept like a baby the entire night after. This was a good experience for me and my fur baby. Would highly recommend.”


“We used charlie for doggie daycare for our two labs. She was awesome. Took them on walks and out to play. We will definitely continue to use her.”


“Such a good experience with Ashley! She is so responsive and provided frequent updates with photos. Our doggie loved staying with her and was so excited when we dropped him off. We will definitely be using Ashley as our go to Rover sitter!”


“She is so amazing! Thank you for taking care of Pantages”


“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”


“I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.”

About: I’ve been with dogs all my life. I help exercise, play, and babysit dogs for day and sometimes weeks. I am a huge dog lover and will always put dogs first. I am currently working full-time remotely, so I am fully available almost every day with the exception of traveling for work or personal! I am ready to meet so many new canine friends & help in anyways I can to my human friends! I currently live in a condo in Costa Mesa with two large parks near my house so I walk dogs about 2 to 3 times per day and have plenty of playtime inside our condo and when we are watching a dog we never really leave so know that your dog will always be accompanied by me.

“Dylan made me feel like my dog was in great hands! He provided photos and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Monica was amazing and so easy to work with. My pup had a wonderful day. She played with other pups. She went on walks. She took naps and she snuggled on the couch. How do I know all these happened? Monica sent me plenty of pictures and videos! The pup and I will definitely be using her services again.”


“Monica was amazing! She was on top of sending updates (with photos) of Cheeto during his stay and I didn’t even have to ask. I came back to pick him up and saw that he made himself comfy in a dog bed. LOL Definitely my new go-to sitter for my little guy. ❤️”


About: Hello! I have trained puppies and dogs for basic obedience and shows for 15 years. I started as a mentee at 9 with a certified show dog runner and trainer for 1.5 years and started training my neighbor’s dogs as practice. I have since started boarding various pets throughout college up until now. As a pet owner, I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for and be responsible for our family members - I’m definitely that person and will ensure the upmost respect for you and your pets! I like to give my clients and their pets the time to get to know me and feel like they’re making the right choice. I like to keep everything transparent and open for discussion. I live in a large two-story home with a fenced backyard and plenty of running space. I believe in lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep all animals in my care happy and healthy. I work from home at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to get 10k steps a day for my own health and make it a point to go for a 2 hour walk a day and love having a companion there with me :) My home is pet proofed from any toxic plants, food is kept out of reach, and my home is treated for pests and fleas monthly. I also have dog gates in case I ever need to section a part of the home off. I don’t like to use dog crates in my home and like to let pets have a lot of freedom and space to feel their most comfortable.

“Jennifer and the entire family was exactly what my puppy Emma needed. Jennifer and her entire family took such good care of her. I got updates and pics throughout the day. Emma was tired when she got home, so I know she had a lot of fun. We are so grateful to have found Jennifer and we will be back often!”


“Ash is so nice and very caring my fur baby was very happy with her . I will for sure keep having her to take care of my doggie. Thank you so much Ash.”


“She took great care of my Murphy. Sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day and it looked like he was having a good time. I was concerned about other dogs bullying him at the last daycare and Stephanie listened to my concerns and assured me of her diligence. I am so happy we found her!”


“Marsha did a phenomenal job with all day dog-sitting! She went out of her way to accomodate our requests and was ready for our visit! Our pup can be very nervous in new place and with new people, and can get some separation anxiety as well. We previously had been doing dog sitting at our vet, but she was always a nervous wreck afterwards. After just a short time at Marsha's she was playing and running around, and even ate all her dinner! I could not believe how happy she looked! Marsha sent us frequent updates and videos, and we felt like our dog was in good hands. When we picked her up, she was playing with a squeaky toy and didn't even want to leave! It was our first time using Rover, and Marsha did such an amazing job helping us feel at ease with the process. I highly recommend Marsha for dog sitting and other services!”
