Dog Boarding in Summit, CA

“Lauren is great! She is super friendly and was very attentive with our 2 dogs. You can tell she truly enjoys pets and she checked in with us as requested. The dogs were happy (and surprisingly clean) when we came to pick them up. There’s plenty of room for the dogs to run around out back and I feel like Lauren gave them the same amount of love we would. Highly recommend!”

About: Tucked away in the mountains, my off-grid home is more than just a boarding space—it’s a peaceful, nurturing retreat where both dogs and cats can feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and caring for them is second nature to me. Maybe it’s the Leo in me, but I’ve always been drawn to the independent, curious nature of cats, just as much as the loyalty and energy of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually—their quirks, their comforts, and their communication style—because no two are the same. Whether they need adventure, structure, play, or just a quiet place to rest, I tailor their stay to what suits them best. My own pack includes two amazing dogs, both of whom I’ve raised since they were pups—an Australian Kelpie who thrives on activity and focus, and a Husky/Malamute mix who loves adventure just as much as I do. I also have two incredibly special cats, Face and Lilith. Face, my shadow and best friend, was once a wary barn cat who took 1.5 years to trust me. Now, he hikes with me and my dogs, showing an adaptability I’ve never seen in another cat. Lilith, my Hemingway cat, appeared as a tiny, helpless kitten in the woods and has since grown into a thriving, playful companion. Recently, I also took on the challenge of caring for and finding homes for 21 puppies all at once—an experience that reinforced my deep commitment to the well-being of every animal that comes into my care. For dogs, my home offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort, with plenty of space to roam, explore, and play. For cats, I provide a dedicated, dog-free space downstairs, designed just for them, complete with padded, cloth-covered shelves, sunlit lounging spots, and plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged. Cats are never let outside unless specifically requested by their owner, ensuring their safety. Whether you have a dog who thrives on companionship and outdoor adventure or a cat who craves quiet comfort and personalized care, my home is a place where they will be loved, understood, and cared for like family. I do have a large fenced back yard which is behind expanded currently. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s fully integrated into my daily life. Living off-grid and working from home means I don’t have a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so my time revolves around the animals in my care. From the moment I wake up, I’m tending to their needs—letting dogs out to stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air, preparing meals tailored to each pet, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I engage with them in ways that suit their personalities—whether it’s a long hike through the woods for high-energy dogs, quiet companionship for more relaxed pets, or interactive play for curious cats. Because I’m always home, no animal is ever left alone for long. I have the flexibility to adapt to their needs in real-time, whether it’s providing extra comfort for a nervous newcomer or giving an active pup the extra exercise they crave. At night, every pet settles in safely, knowing they are in a warm, loving environment. Caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s simply my way of life. Exercise and outdoor time are a big part of my daily routine. I take my dog for runs or walks multiple times a day, exploring the beautiful mountain trails and giving them the movement they need. If your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, I’d be happy to include them in these outings, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and enrichment. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a high-energy run, I tailor the experience to match their needs and comfort level. If your pet has special needs—such as medication, a specific feeding routine, or any other care requirements—I’m happy to integrate that into my daily schedule. Every animal is different, and I make sure to accommodate their unique needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

“Janneth took amazing care of our 9 week old kitten while we were out of town. She provided me with many updates, photos, and videos! She followed all of our mealtime directions. She has an enclosed backyard catio and was very understanding and respectful when we felt our Daisy was too tiny to go out yet. She gave lots of cuddles, loves, and playtime. She was home during the day to provide interaction a little kitten needs. I felt extremely confident leaving Daisy in her care and would absolutely book with her again! Thank you to Janneth!”

“Andrew is very down to earth and just an overall nice person. He took very good care of my dog. It’s actually funny because as Andrew was going to get the rest of the food, my dog started crying for him. He clearly enjoyed his time with Andrew. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend Andrew!”

Charles E.

“My dog Brody had a great time with Jessie, Ryan, and their family. After two days of playtime with their dog Koda, Brody was happy and cheerful and ready to chill out at home. Definitely recommend!”

“Max I was so nervous about leaving my baby with anyone but I must say you and your family was outstanding. You sent me plenty of pictures of you and your family loving on my fur baby and I greatly appreciate every day she was with you. If anyone is in need of a great family Max would be the one.”

“What a great service. My wife and I were very please from the first day we met with Lilia and her husband Tony. We could tell they were both pet lovers. They welcomed our Mr. Barney into their home as if he was their own. Since my wife and I always treat our pets as family we are always skeptical about boarding our pets in kennels. Well no more worries for us. We highly recommend and will let our friends know about this service so they to can take advantage of the truly fine service provided. Just “5 Star Pawsome” service…! Thank you Lilia and Tony for allowing Mr. Barney to visit your home. Don and Sue.”

“I highly recommend Wendy. She is great! She loves dogs and so does her husband. Wendy kept our 12-pound chihuahua safe and happy for two days while we were in Tehachapi. Our dog loved sitting with her and near her and got along well with her dogs. She sent us photos and updates. Wendy is easy to work with, and we liked her a lot. She is very responsive to messages. She went above and beyond to help us - we even went to meet her six months in advance during our previous trip to Tehachapi.”
