We decided to open our home to care for other dogs after the one time we used a kennel to board Gunner. We did not like that he was housed in a small cage for days on end, urinating and sleeping in the same 4 square feet..we ended up cutting our trip short to pick him up early, he was stressed from his kennel experience.

You should not be worrying about the well being of your pets when you should be enjoying your vacation. We take the worry away!

Pet CPR and First Aid Certified! Our family is civic minded and we donate hundreds of volunteer hours every year for many Temecula causes and charities and I am a volunteer fence checker for local animal shelters.

Why I love dog sitting

When I was 3 years old, our neighbors had a litter of puppies. I fell in love with one of the puppies and begged my parents to let me have him. We grew up together and I have had dogs in my life ever since. I am the person that family and friends come to with training questions or help with their dogs. I have recently began offering one-on-one dog training professionally.

About my yard

We have a rather large backyard that is fenced with mostly grass, 2 palm trees, shade,2 dogloos and a swimming pool.

My experience administering medication

Yes, pills or shots.

My husband and I are animal lovers who have 3 friendly dogs. A 9 year old Chihuahua, a 6 year old Mini Schnauzer and a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel "All Females". Our girls are our babies and are treated like members of the family! We will treat your baby like part of our family! I decided to takes on pet sitting because I love dogs and I look forward to taking care of your fur baby/babies!

Why I love dog sitting

My husband and I have been dog lovers all of our lives! There have always been dogs in the house as we were growing up and when We got married 23 years ago, my husband and I have welcomed dogs into our home.

About my yard

Our backyard is completely fenced in...one side is a full concrete wall "city side" and the back wall and other side wall is fenced in with privacy wood fencing. There is only one access gate to the backyard and it stays locked so no one can get in the backyard unless we open the gate for them. There is no way for your dog to get out of the yard!

Having been a dog owner my whole life, I find myself instantly charmed by any dog I come across. I see dogs as members of the family and understand that each dog is unique with their own personality and needs. I myself have owned dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors and I’ve have always been aware of the special needs that each one requires. Bonding with dogs has been in my nature all my life and feel happiness with any dog I meet. I’m a lively and active person with spare time in my hands who would enjoy the company of any new dog I meet. I am looking forward to helping families with their pups and making any pups super happy!

*please contact me about any questions *

At Leashes & Leisure we believe our pets are members of our family and we will treat your pets no different. We offer professional daycare & boarding in a safe and comfortable home environment. Caring for your pets is not just my "side gig," it is my full time passion and helps contribute to my family's livelihood.

Extra Perks:

** I carry fully comprehensive insurance through Kennel Pro.

** I can typically accommodate last minute stay requests.

** I am available year round - 7 days a week/365 days a year.

About Us: We are a small family consisting of three humans - myself, my husband Joe, our 11 year old son A.J., and two pets - our 9 year old puggle, Kepa, and our 13 year old male cat, Ceelo. We enjoy camping, riding our ATV & quads, and volunteering for our son's Little League team.

Our Pets: Kepa is a pug/beagle mix and was one of the founding members of a meet-up/play group in Portland, OR and is very socialized as a result. Kepa absolutely loves everyone, 2-legged and 4-legged, alike. Our cat is very shy and will spend the majority of his time upstairs; it is not a requirement that your dog(s) be cat friendly.

My Services:

- Boarding | While you enjoy your vacation, let your pet enjoy their staycation! Bring your pet to us for overnight care, in our home, while you are away. They will love meeting new friends, snuggling on the couch by the warm fireplace and receiving their favorite bedtime treat!

- Doggy Daycare | Great for socialization, long work days, family day trips, house or carpet cleaning appointments, and realtor or open house appointments. Your pet will love playing with friends, sunbathing by the pool and snoozing on the couch!

** Overnight Boarding Rate is calculated per a 24-hour period. Pricing starts when you drop your dog off and pick up would be the same time on the last day of the stay. Example: If you arrive at 8am, check-out is at 8am on your check-out date. If drop-off and pick-up times vary by more than 1 hour a prorated daycare fee would be applied.

Beyond 24-hour cycle additional fees per pet:

3. ALL clients are REQUIRED to provide proof of up to date vaccinations, specifically: Rabies, Bordetella and DPP (See below). Flea and tick preventative is also required. Vaccinations must be administered at least 48 hours prior to arrival under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. However, we prefer vaccinations be administered 10 days before check-in. Written proof is required. (Copies accepted)

Vaccinations:

1. DPP (Distemper, Parvovirus & Parainfluenza) - 1 or 3-yr. vaccine required

2. Bordetella - Required every 6 months & at least 7 days prior to check-in to ensure maximum efficiency & protection against Kennel Cough. Please note: many veterinarians administer this vaccine only by request.

♥️ Please note: We host dogs in the small-medium breed categories (0-50 pounds). We often have multiple dogs staying with us. Once a spot has been secured I always take into consideration the personalities/sizes of the dogs before accepting any other visitors. Having non-compatible dogs is not safe (or fun) and I wouldn't do that to them or myself. We strive to provide a safe and anxiety-free home for every stay.

ABOUT US: My name is Daniel and I live with my girlfriend Yvette. We have looked after and rescued dogs ranging from toy breeds on up to large mastiffs and most every breed in between. Your dog will live as a special houseguest with us in our beautiful home in the foothills of Canyon Lake in Lake Elsinore. Our neighborhood is safe and a wonderful place to walk around. Right down the street from our house is a pet clinic with a vet. We will duplicate the schedule and habits you have established when your dog is home with you and be attentive to their needs, keep them in our company for the duration of their stay with lots of toys and playtime in between. In short your dog(s) will be completely spoiled with love! We have a doggy door for easy access outside where our dogs play and go in and out of on their own free will. We have a large enclosed backyard that is pet proof and safe (No Pool!). Daily walks are included with your stay.

We prefer that your pets be up to date with their vaccinations and with no illnesses. I will send texts, pictures and videos daily or none at all if you so choose so you may enjoy your trip without worry.

We never take care of large breeds that might potentially harm our dogs. Be rest assured that your dog will be in a safe, loving, and clean home. Not only will your dog live in the safety and comfort of our home but based on the positive feedback that we've received from past clients, were also capable of removing unwanted behaviors in dogs as well as rehabilitate them from past negative experiences.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your time and consideration!

I love animals! Especially dogs. I have been around them my whole life & spent a lot of time as a teenager volunteering at animal shelters & pet adoption events. I have been pet sitting since 2015. I do have two children, ages 6 & 9 so it is extremely important that your pup(s) are kid friendly! They are both super good around dogs & animals in general. My main services are boarding & doggy daycare - my daycare hours are typically 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. but I can have a bit of flexibility if discussed in advance. During your dog(s) stay with me I have multiple gates so I can separate all pups at meal times as well as night time for peace of mind. If your dog is used to a crate for bedtime please bring that along & I will set it up for them so they are not out of their comfort zone during their stay. I take up to 4 dogs at a time so it is not overwhelmingly crowded for them, (or me!) & am very careful on making sure whoever is here gets along well. If I am skeptical at all I will keep them separate & rotate potty breaks/playtime etc. Better safe than sorry! I am home 7 days a week, I do leave to take my kids to & from school which is very close by in our neighborhood, takes about 10 minutes. I run the occasional errand as well, I'm usually not gone for more than an hour or two & I separate pups when I leave for safety reasons. I have completed a course for Pet CPR & first aid. I have cared for dogs of all ages, breeds & sizes. I have experience administering medicine to many dogs & am comfortable doing so. All I ask is that your dog(s) are friendly with other dogs & children, up to dates on shots, flea & tick free & lastly, please, no excessive barkers! I do have neighbors nearby & do not want to disturb them. Thank you & I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm an experienced dog groomer. I've worked with over 1000's of dogs of all temperaments. Shy or nervous rescue dogs no problem! I have done some dog rehabilitation with behavioral issues and some light training as well as regular walking for clients from San Diego to Lake Elsinore.

I can handle any dog big or small, I have a dog park down the street and grooming supplies on hand. I never stop learning about dogs so rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets.

I have a wealth of knowledge and tools to ensure the best possible stay

Why we love dog sitting?

My husband & I grew up with dogs and they were all special to us. Tiger the Dalmatian we raised together for 14 years holds a special place in our heart. If it wasn't for him, we would not have known anything about Dalmatian Rescue in Orange County. We housed and helped find homes for unwanted Dalmatians. Tiger was an energetic, gentle, and a very smart pet. We still miss him.

About my yard

The yard has a six-foot high vinyl fence to make sure your dog(s) are always safe and secure. We have a covered patio with landscaping in progress. We also have two beautiful large parks where we can walk and exercise your pet.

I am comfortable with all oral medications and topical ones. I am also very responsible so I will follow your instructions very carefully.
