Dog Boarding In Stanford Estates

“Cassie & Ben were great! They seemed to really adopt Apollo into the family while they had him. He even jumped the fence a few times and got into an altercation with a skunk and they were just as patient and loving as possible in response.”

“Olga took great care of our puppy. This is the second time she has kept her and I always feel so good knowing our puppy is in good hands. She is very patient and caring and has a great home and safe space for the animals. She is very easy to communication with and always sends updates. We will definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.”

“Derrika was absolutely phenomenal with Baker!!! She went above and beyond, truly treating him like family. She’s so genuine, caring, and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe but truly LOVED. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

Lauren D.

“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”

Elyse W.

“Very pleased with Billie, she and Chief got along fine. She updated me with pictures on a regular basis. She understood when my trip was shortened by the wildfires in Canada.”

Jim F.

“This was our first time using Rover and Griffin made the experience (from pre-booking to pick up) an absolute breeze - he made us feel so comfortable, put our mind's at ease, and had great communication. He proactively sent frequent video, photo, and text updates of our puppy and was very responsive when we checked in! I love that he has a dog of his own and they both became fast friends. We will 100% rebook with Griffin and will recommend him to anyone needing services!”

About: After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: ​I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. ​Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. ​The Boutique Environment: ​Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: ​A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. ​Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. ​Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: ​My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. ​My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. ​Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: ​Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. ​The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. ​Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) ​Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.

“Elaine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My little dog is a rescue… she is very timid and has abandonment issues, so I was hoping to find the perfect dog sitter for her while we went out of town for a holiday. I adjusted the filters on Rover.com to display only sitters without kids and without other pets at home. Elaine was 1 of 11 and when I read her bio, I knew she’d be a great match! Thankfully, she agreed to dog sit for us and it worked out exceptionally well. I never once doubted the quality care she was receiving while we were away. Elaine was always quick to respond to texts and sent pics and daily updates. Elaine is now my number 1 choice for dog sitting services. Thank you so much, Elaine!”

Would definitely love Clementine to stay again!”

“Kylie was wonderful to work with from the first time I contacted her until I left my fur baby with her 6 weeks later. She was kind enough to visit with us twice before we dropped Molly off just so that we could get to know her better. Kylie sent daily updates for the 6 days we were gone. I’m very happy with the care she provided and I’m sure we will use her services again.”
