Dog Boarding in Short Place, CA

“Sharon and her husband took great care of Cooper while we were away. Their house and yard are well equipped for the task, and they had several friends for Cooper to play with! We received frequent photo updates from them, and Cooper was having fun in all of them. They took him on walks and ensured he got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend Sharon for anyone looking for a good ‘Home away from home’ for their pup!”

“Elisabeth is absolutely awesome...and most importantly, our dog Banana had a great time! I loved how Elisabeth sent us photos almost every other day during our two week vacation of Banana having fun in the sprinkler or playing with other dogs! It really helped us feel confident that she was in the perfect dog-sitter's hands!”

“Left our dog with Melissa for five days and all went well. She followed care and feeding instructions and walked her every morning and sent photos.”

About: I am a registered veterinary technician. I have been caring for pets for 21 years. I can care for any level of pet on medications or with special needs. I am reliable and caring. I work full time but can visit/potty/feed/etc before and after work and sometimes in the middle of the day. I am home most weekends and holidays. I can take your pets out on leash to do their business. I have several areas in my home to keep everyone happy and separate if needed.

“Amazing sitter!! Sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated through my entire trip. He had a blast:)”

“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”

“Another great stay with Michelle. Per usual, we had travel difficulties (car had to be towed from the airport). Michelle’s flexibility with pickup time was very helpful and appreciated. Good, quick communication, and lots of videos of the pup!”

“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”

“Michelle and dave are great pet sitters. Franklin had a fabulous time for two weeks in their care. They are very sweet people who took a true interest in our dog and sent me several pictures along the way. They have a great big yard and three friendly little dogs that Franklin had a lot of fun with. We highly recommend them.”

“Sara provided everything we were looking for . . . and more. We needed a place that would take just one dog at a time, as our Maggie has had some anxiety issues with too many dogs around. Sara was willing to do that, and it worked out great. Her property is perfect for Maggie, her own dog is just what Maggie needed. Sara took Maggie for many walks, let her go in the pond, and even bathed and brushed her before we picked her up. Treated her like her own dog and like the spoiled princess she is at home. Maggie came home happy, and probably a little miffed that we haven't taken her for three walks today!”

“I was so impressed by the level of care Tessa received! I got frequent updates and fun pictures of her out having fun. I highly recommend Alexa!!”

“Shelly and her family took great care of my big, rambunctious, teenage Doberman mix. He is good natured but can high energy and pushy - Shelly was totally unfazed and confident with him which made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. I picked up a happy, tired, and well-mannered boy - seems that Shelly’s older dogs were great playmates and role models for him, which was a great added bonus. I’ll definitely be bringing him back when I have to travel in the future!”

“My boys had a great time with Jessica. She spoiled them with fun walks, playtime outside and comfy rests in the couch lol. She sent photos to let me know they were having fun and it was so comforting to know they were in loving care. We were able to enjoy our night out without guilt or worry. Absolutely recommend 100%! One of the best River sitters we’ve had. Also a very convenient location when visiting the South Lake Tahoe area. If we get back this way, we will use her again. Five woods from Grizzly and Bear!”

“Nick was awesome. We were out of the country so asked to keep texting to somewhat of a minimum. Although we would always like to hear from him this time it just wasn't possible. Nick did send just the perfect amount of updates and pictures. Grace Louise surely does enjoy her time there. :) We are already reserving another date for next week. Thanks again Nick.”

“Fantastic. Nettie is very good with dogs and my Tilly probably got more attention and exercise that could give her. I've learned that Nettie hikes daily, so if your dog loves to hike, Nettie is the one, plus the absolute love your dog will receive. She has a nice backyard, so there's plenty of room for running around.”

Eric S.

“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”

About: We've had Golden Retrievers since 2005 and LOVE Goldens. We currently have three Goldens - Red (age 6), Max (age 5), and Riley (age 3). We often dog sit for our family and friends that have Goldens and I love it so much, I decided to start a Rover account to do it for others that have Golden family members and need a fun, reliable place for them to go when they travel or need boarding. I'm a self-employed educational psychologist with a flexible schedule. I often work from home and am off over the summer and during school holiday breaks. We have three Golden Retrievers (ages 3, 5,and 6) who get a lot of activity. We have a huge fenced back yard, and a fenced front yard, and play fetch every day out back with the ball thrower. We also go on walks around the neighborhood. We have a doggy door, and the dogs go in and out at their leisure. Our dogs are a major part of our family. They're always with us. They sleep in my bed. Your golden(s) can sleep in my bed or room, too, or in a crate if that's what they're used to. We also have two kids (age 11 and 8), so your dog must be good with kids, as well as with other dogs.

“Noah was great! Both my hyperactive puppy and more staid golden retriever appeared happy in the many photos he sent, and when I picked them up. They seemed to get a lot of attention, and Noah seems nice, caring and unflappable.”

“Aria loved his time with Diana and Jeremy. They played with him and kept us continually in the loop on his stay there with videos/pictures. Definitely we use them again on our next ski trip!”

“So glad Teeda was available for our 5 day stay in a non- dog house in Tahoe. She is such a great person and did a great job with my big 40lb puppy. In fact, when we took our pup for one of the days in the middle of her stay and then brought her back in the evening, our pup was excited and so willing to go back w Teeda and went right into her car! Teeda's house is dog paradise and you can tell she is such a dog lover. She is kind, funny and down to earth. As a first time puppy mommy it meant the world to me that Teeda sent lots of pictures and texts. I had such confidence that my baby was being well taken care of. Teeda was also flexible and caring, understanding that our schedule was a little up in the air. She is the equivalent of Mary Poppins for dogs- she was like the magic solution to all of my worries last week.”
