Dog Boarding in Stockton

Update: 11/26/18 I have now been a dog sitter for 4 years with the last 2 being full time. I feel like I acquired so much knowledge and experience in working with dogs on a daily basis. I now know what works and doesn't work. My house is setup to be the most efficient in handling multiple pups at once. I offer supplies as well. (Treats, Leashes, Stainless steel bowls, Beds, Blankets, Toys, Crates if your dog is crate trained) I like to make it as easy as possible for you. it just means less things you have to worry about. Drop offs/Pick ups are quick and easy to coordinate! I truly love what I do and enjoy every day that I'm able too. I treat every pup as if they were my own. I'm confident that your fur babies are in good hands. Thank you so much for considering me :)

My true experience starts with my little boy Dexter. I adopted him at 4 months old, knowing he just had his eye removed. He also had demodectic mange. ( experience oral/applied medication early on) He passed his dog therapy program with flying colors! We spent the first two years of his life walking the halls of retirement homes, assisted living and rehab centers. Bringing smiles to people's faces! I spent 6 months helping care for my sister's senior/disabled pug doing rehab work to get her walking short distance without her wheelchair. I've dog sat several family and friends furry little babies as well.

Hi there! I have had dogs my whole life, and will love yours like my very own. My best friend is my 40lb. bull terrier mix. She drinks bottled water, eats organic dog treats, and is living her best life! She just got a new little sister, Lily, a sweet puppy who we actually met through Rover! Our pups are well-socialized, and will happily share their toys and home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that they think all of the dogs that come to stay are here specifically to visit them. They love new friends!

I am also dog CPR and First Aid Certified.

A B O U T M E :

I have worked with different animals (dogs, cats, horses, small pets) since as long as I can remember. Now, I am a (crazy?) dog mom who throws birthday parties for my fur babies and our dog friends. Aside from being a life-long dog lover, I am an elementary school teacher. I am also passionate about health and fitness... I love to run, and will be happy to run with your dog! I would never walk more than your dog(s) at a time. I always cringe when I see a dog walker with 7 plus leashes in hand. (Not that any Rover dog-walker would do that!) Your dog will have my full attention on walks. I am happy to work on specific skills such as leash training, sit & stay, etc. upon request. I have worked as a volunteer at the animal shelter socializing and walking all types of dogs.

A D D I T I O N A L C A R E G I V E R :

My longtime boyfriend, Beau, and I live in a home with no kids and are completely dedicated to our dogs. He also works from home, so there is always someone with the dogs between the both of us. He is as big of a dog lover as I am and is a huge part of the success of our boarding and doggy daycare services.

O U R H O M E :

Dogs have supervised access to both the inside and backyard of our house. We have a very secure fence in the backyard. The gate is very strong and metal. We do have a pool with wide steps for wading. We never use a pool cover nor do I leave dogs unattended outside ever. (I am a very overprotective dog mom.) We have lots of outdoor playtime, but dogs are never just left in the backyard. Our dogs enjoy swimming and playing water fetch in the summer. We take pride in cleanliness and safety of our dogs and doggy guests. Toys and bedding are washed between each guest, food bowls are never shared between dogs, and water is constantly fresh in clean bowls. We have a separated living room with toys and rest areas for smaller dogs who might feel more comfortable or need a break from playing. Did I mention that we even allow dogs on our couch and bed? This is why I fell in love with Rover in the first place - I just couldn't fathom boarding my best friend into a kennel! We provide 24/7 care with lots of attention, cuddles, and love. Your dog can feel comfy and right at home with us!

We look forward to meeting your fur baby!

I am retired and home fulltime. I have the time to devote my full attention to your furry 4 legged family member(s). When you have to leave them they deserve a vacation too in a warm, relaxing home environment. They are treated just as if they were my own getting lots of playtime, belly rubs and hugs. I have a miniature Schnauzer who loves to host new guests and I have a very large dog friendly backyard perfect for lots of play time and exercise.I take small to medium size dogs but I love the bigger guys too when I don't have too many little ones. And to make your life a little less complicated I can supply all necessary needs such as food bowls, healthy treats, clean beds, blankets, leashes etc. I also have crates if your dog is more secure using one. I have many return pups who jump right out of their owners car and head straight for my front door when they arrive, they think of it as their second home. So, If you want to go away and feel confident that your pet is being lovingly cared for contact me. I get booked up fast during the vacation season so reserve early. My drop off and pick up hours are 7:30am-6pm. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, IF MY SCHEDULE ALLOWS I DO OFFER PICKUP & DROP OFF FOR AN EXTRA FEE with in 5 miles.

I have always been the person my friends, neighbors, acquaintances, & coworkers bring their pets to when their lovable creatures just can't go with them. Whether you are considering a get-away day, a weekend, or even an extended vacation, there is no place more loving for your fuzzy sweethearts! That is because I just LOVE animals, and I love when they come to visit! I treat my pets like family, and yours will receive the same protection, love, affection, personal attention and play/exercise time that mine do.

I have a large, sectioned yard with a sizable, configurable habitat that includes a 10'x20' sheltered area for hot or rainy weather, 15'x30' powdered granite/dirt area to dig in, security, night lighting, 2 plush green lawns, and even a wading pond. Also, for your pets' additional comfort, there is a doggie door leading to the house. When we have to leave, there is still ready access to an air-conditioned and heated room.

So, if you love your pets with all your hearts, and you want to ensure they have a compassionate and fun "home away from home" (rather than being caged up in a kennel or ignored in a back yard), then this is the place to come again and again!

I too love to travel and my first thought always is, "What about my fur babies? Can they come with me?" Sometimes it just isn't possible, so if I can't get a dog/house-sitter, I usually cancel my travel plans. It seemed logical to assume that other pet-lovers must go through the same dilemma. So, I decided I would become the solution to the needs of both you and your pets.

I will care for your fur babies the same way I care for my own, in a safe nurturing environment. As an added benefit, you will receive updates via email or text messaging while you're away, including a description of their activities and even photos so you don't get too lonely while you're away :-)

I look forward to meeting you and your pets :-)

Hi Everybody!!

A little bit about me is that I have always loved dogs ever since I was a little kid that I have studied up on dog’s behaviors and breeds. At the start of my journey, I started off as a dog walker and learned the signals and behaviors that are acceptable and signals that are warnings. Since then I obtained new knowledge when working at a doggy daycare in the heart of San Francisco. I have supervised 20+ dogs at a time and have learned how to correct and properly care for each breed’s needs. I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from German Shepherds, Huskies, Weinheimer , Rottweilers, Dobermans, Pitbulls to Frenchies, Bull Terriers, Spaniels, Corgis and all the small cuddly furbabies <3

In addition, I have had more hands-on training by working at a Veterinary hospital in Napa as a vet assistant. I am also raising two German Shepherds and a boxer. For those who have Shepherds and/or boxers, you know that they can be a handful with all that excess puppy energy. However, it has been a great experience that has taught me a lot on how to take care of newborns to their puppy/teenage years

When it comes to my services I always make sure to do meet and greets to be able to observe each and every dog and to see if they are compatible to the environment that I am providing; as well as if they can get along with my pets.

Unfortunately I do not do last minute request. If you are interested in my services, please contact me with enough time so we can discuss any issues or concerns you may have regarding your pet or my household.

Finally, if you do decide to have your dog were to stay with me, they will be treated as if they were my own dogs and be given the love and care they deserve. Once again, if you have any questions/concerns feel free to send me a message. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member.

*Please understand that Overnight Boarding is a 24 hour service*

To give each customer the proper time they require for drop-offs/pick-ups, meet and greets and etc. Please try to arrive within the similar time frame as when you dropping off/picking up your pet.

I understand there are situations where pick up times can differ. If that is the case, please let me know ahead of time what time you will be coming so I can plan accordingly.

I have never NOT had a dog (or 2 or 3.) I've raised them, trained them and bred them. The breeds I've owned are Beagles, Doxies and Labs. I'm the trusted caregiver for my family, friends and neighbors beloved pets. It seems like there is always an extra furry thing around here. My husband and I are retired and home most of the the time. I'm not inclined to take in aggressive dogs or ones that are destructive or escape artists. We like a loving and peaceful household. Dogs that are house trained and doggie door trained fit our needs quite well. Our guests have 24 hour house and yard access. Males that are squatters as opposed to leg lifters are appreciated. The furniture and the plants appreciate it as well. Please be 'flea free'. We have a pool. It is fenced in and secure. We prefer to take just 2 'guests' at a time (unless they're in the same family) so each one gets max attention from us. They will get lots of pets and belly rubs. Our grandchildren come by once in a while after school. They have 3 devoted dogs of their own and know how to love and cherish them. While we do not promote couch/bed surfing we do have designated pieces of furniture which are dog friendly and we have been known to share our bed on occasion. :-) Our own dog has gotten the best love, the best food and the best care from us. We would do the same with your cherished best friend. (** Just an FYI, When searching the sitter profiles on Rover be sure to check the 'additional services and rates' link. Rates can vary around holiday periods.**)

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have always had dogs in my home and I enjoy my time with them.

Meet my pets

A small Yorkie Terrier

My experience administering medication

I am comfortable with pill and/or liquid forms of medications.

I am retired and spending more time with my two toy poodles walking around the neighborhood and Lodi Lake and occasional trips to the beach which are our favorite. Canelo loves agility class and Pipi loves kayaking and bicycling.

We have a spacious home for lounging around and playing inside and a good sized area outside in the patio for more lounging and fresh air.

Ever since I can remember I have had dogs from toy poodles to Newfoundlands and Irish Wolfhounds and everything in between. Life was never complete without a dog to share it with.

Your little one will be cared for in a calm safe environment with daily walks. If you have special needs or wishes I will do my best to accommodate you.

We would love to host your little one. We are flexible and can adjust ourselves to your needs.
