Dog Boarding in Thermal, CA

“If there were 10 stars to give I would have done so gladly! Joy is an absolute dog whisperer. My wife and I went out of town for a few days and we needed to leave our 6 month old puppy with someone. Boarding him in a confined area along with a cage was just not anything we wanted to do. We checked on Rover in our area and up popped Joy. And we are so glad she did. We scheduled a meet and greet and signed up for the dates we needed after our meeting. We still had our reservations about leaving our dog with someone since he is only 6 months old. Those fears were short lived as soon as we saw how Joy handled our dog when we dropped him off on our date of departure. Shortly thereafter we started receiving photos and videos of our little fur buddy and with each photo we could see how he was getting more comfortable in his new surroundings. And we were getting more comfortable along with him. Periodic updates during the day and up until his bedtime kept us relaxed and confident that we made the right choice. We will not hesitate to utilize Joy's services and recommend those services to others. Do yourself a favor and at the very least call Joy for a meet and greet before you make a decision. You will be glad you did and you will save yourself a lot of time and energy. We will gladly and comfortably use Joy in the future.”

“Dropped off our two little froggies Jean Claude & Fondue for 10 days under Dons care. Came back to relaxed happy doggos! Safe gated community. Don is friendly and easy to work with. Only takes 1 client at a time which works best for our kids. It’s comforting to know they are in good hands. :)”

About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to help your pet(s) feel secure and comfortable.

“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”

About: I've been passionate about dogs my entire life, growing up in a dog-loving home and now caring for two of my own. As a volunteer with the Palm Springs Animal Shelter's puppy team, I’ve gained hands-on experience with training and caring for pups of all temperaments. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or in need of extra attention, I’ll ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being an early riser who works from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide consistent care and attention. With a backyard for playtime and daily walks every morning and evening, your dog will stay active and happy. On weekends, my husband and I enjoy taking our dogs on longer, more adventurous walks for extra exercise and fun! In my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure environment with plenty of space for play and rest. Dogs are never left unattended, and I ensure they feel safe and loved with positive reinforcement and gentle care. With a fully fenced backyard for outdoor fun and regular walks, your pet will have a structured, enriching day. I tailor my approach to each dog's needs, ensuring a stress-free experience whether they're playful pups or calm seniors.
