Dog Boarding University Park

“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”

“We just boarded our Bengal cat with Bennie and Jennie for the 3rd time and they always take such great care of her! Their cats Kuma, Koya, and Kevin are the sweetest and so friendly to our super sassy girl. We love all the photos and videos they send us while we’re on vacation and love that we can relax when we’re away because we know she’s in great hands. Thank you Bennie & Jennie!!”

“Hanna & David were absolutely the best while babysitting my dog Loki. They sent me multiple pictures and I could tell that Loki was happy. Their dog Evan is also the nicest guy ever, and was super sweet and friendly to Loki. I would absolutely recommend them and I will book again with them in the future.”

“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”

“Eunice room such wonderful care of Monty while we were on vacation for a week. We got daily updates with multiple pictures, and Monty always looked so happy. He loved socializing with other dogs they were watching as well. Thank you Eunice!”

“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”

“Katie continues to be the best dog sitter for our Tilly Girl. She’s always so caring in understanding Tilly’s routine, sends the cutest photos as updates, and make sure Tilly is as comfortable as possible while we’re gone. I can’t recommend Katie enough.”

“I can't say enough good things about Chungin. She sent multiple pictures every day and was genuinely concerned about Bailey's well-being. I could tell Bailey had a great time because she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. :)”

“SaeWon did a great job watching over Gouda and Cheddar and showering them with lots of love and attention! She was also very flexible and understanding when our plans had to change last minute. We will definitely use SaeWon and her family again!”

“Our dog Nova had such a good time with Joshua this weekend! He took great care of her and she loved playing with his dog. He was quick to respond on rover messaging and even sent us multiple photos and videos of Nova. Would definitely recommend and trust any pet with him.”

“We’re so grateful for Rommel and his family for taking such great care of our dogs while we were away. They treated our dogs like part of their own family and made sure they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We got regular updates, and it was clear they were happy and comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

Clarissa D.

“Thavery was amazing! We needed a place to board our dog last minute and so glad we found her. We appreciated her flexibility with our changing schedules. She is so easy and pleasant to talk to. She let us stay with our dog for a few minutes to get her settled and she really made us at ease leaving our dog with her. She took really good care of our dog and our dog loved her. We will not hesitate to work with her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.

“Nuri had a blast with Charlene during his two week stay!! We got adorable photos and videos of him everyday which made us feel relieved and less guilty while enjoying our vacation ? she’s a great communicator and could tell she took a great care of our baby! Thank you so much!! We’ll definitely return to Charlene if needed ??”

About: Hi, I’m Emily! We are a loving family of four, my husband, our 10-year-old son, myself, and our very active 13-month-old Shiba Inu, Nala. As dog owners ourselves, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dog while you’re away. After recently searching for a sitter for Nala, I realized how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and cared for in our home as if they were my own. After spending 25+ years in the telecom industry, I am now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for the pets I welcome into our home. Your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day, with their safety, comfort, and happiness always being my top priorities. We are located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Irvine with several nearby parks and walking trails. Nala enjoys four walks a day, and I am happy to provide the same level of activity for your pup based on their needs, energy level, and routine. We also have a spacious home with a secure, fenced grassy backyard that offers both sunny and shaded areas for dogs to relax, explore, bird watch, or simply enjoy outdoor time. I understand every dog has different routines and comfort levels, so I do my best to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Nala sleeps in a crate at night, but I am happy to accommodate your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or out in the open. We treat pets like family in our home, so dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and in the spaces they’re used to enjoying if that aligns with your preferences and home rules. I am also happy to follow your dog’s specific care routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, sleep preferences, and any special instructions that help them feel comfortable and secure. I know being away from your pup can be hard, so I’m happy to send regular photo and update check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. To ensure personalized attention and a calm environment, I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of one-on-one love and care while staying with us. I do ask that dogs are comfortable around children and other dogs, and are reasonably house-trained and comfortable spending short periods indoors when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family!

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and I am very comfortable around all types. I have volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society as an Adoption Counselor while in college, so I have undergone behavior training for many aspects of dog care. I am familiar with walking dogs on leases, with harnesses, using commands, as well as resource guarding, jumpy/mouthy/mounting behavior, shy/fearfulness, and escape artists. I only use positive reinforcement for training. I have an educational background in genetics and public health, and I am involved in my local religious community as well. I’ve lived in OC for about 3 years now, having moved from the Midwest. In my spare time I’m learning to crochet, and I love playing with my dog Pax, a chihuahua/pomeranian mix whom I’ve recently adopted. I work from home, so am around most of the day, and have a small fenced in patio for potty breaks between walks. I’m a fan of the local dog parks, and will bring your dog there with your permission. I work from home, so my dog gets a minimum of 3 walks around the neighborhood and we often go to a local dog park too after work. I’m rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. My fenced in patio is open for potty breaks, but I usually do a minimum of 3 walks per day around my neighborhood. I’m also happy to bring them to dog parks for socialization. Since I have a dog myself, there will also be plenty of socialization at home.

“Gracie was great from start to finish. She made sure our dogs got along prior to the boarding to eliminate any surprises. She updated us either their status periodically along with pictures. Will definitely use her again.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Milo! While we were away for three days, Cie made us feel completely at ease with regular updates, photos, and videos. It was such a relief knowing Milo was not only well cared for, but also genuinely enjoying himself. She worked her magic to help Milo get along beautifully with Hari and Megan, which made the whole experience even more special. She also shared some helpful tips and recommendations for leash pulling and other little concerns she noticed. I highly recommend Cie and will definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

“Ning was absolutely fantastic, she took amazing care of my dog! She went above and beyond and really made my dog feel like he was apart of her family. I’m very particular when it comes to my furbaby, but her care, attention to detail and knowledge were amazing and left no doubt that she would do a spectacular job!”
