Dog Boarding in Vandenberg Village, CA

About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! I only work a few hours in the morning (9-12), so my schedule is pretty flexible — I can often accommodate daytime, evening, or even last-minute pet care needs. I’m currently available for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I’m happy to care for your dog or cat in their familiar space while you’re away. That said, if you'd prefer your pet stays with me, I do have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

“Karrie was so loving and accommodating to my nervous pup. I loved receiving pictures and updates. Daily visits to the park were wonderful for my pup to try out socializing. Thanks so much Karrie!”

“We were really nervous about boarding our chihuahua, Paulie Walnuts, but Kyle and Sara are so patient and really relaxed. Turns out, our little "cute, but psycho" old man had a great time! We received many wonderful pictures and videos of him having a good time walking, playing, and most of all chilling. When we needed an extra day/night due to an out-of-town emergency, we were lucky enough that they were able to keep Paulie Walnuts a little longer. What a relief. They came through in a pinch for us and it's greatly appreciated. We knew we didn't have to worry one bit. This was a great experience overall, and we highly recommend Kyle and Sara for your pet boarding needs. We'd definitely use their services again. Thank you so much for giving our little man such great care ❤️”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing while babysitting my dog, Cooper, during my time away. She went above and beyond to give me constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she treated Cooper just as I would at home—he looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for in every update. I am eternally grateful for her kindness, attentiveness, and dedication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”

“Krystal and her family are absolutely amazing! My fur baby loves staying there. This was our second stay and I will never go to anyone else for a sitter! Cleo always has a blast when she’s there. They went hiking, to the beach and lots of walks. I also really appreciated the fact that Krystal sent lots of pictures and videos, while I was gone.”

About: I have been rescuing and petsitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve had rescue articles written about how many animals I have saved and I also studied animal behavior. I have worked in animal shelters,vet clinics,doggie daycares and boarding facilities. I have saved many dogs from the streets and have been a foster parent for neglected dogs many times. Your pup will have full access to indoors and outdoors as they please I have lots of toys beds and a doggie swimming pool they can run around the house and yard whenever they want and come inside and sleep on my bed whenever they want they will have a lot of freedom if i take them for car rides I use doggie harnesses and seat belts. I will send pictures and video updates through out the day and night and whenever you ask me what they are doing I will take a video or picture of whatever they are doing and send it to you. I will even record myself administering medications for peace of mind. I’m very introverted Instead of going out with people I am out in the streets saving animals or taking care of them. I have pet sit for many people and very popular by word of mouth but wanted to try this app out incase anyone or their pet needs me I will always be here💖🐾 I'm a self employed pet sitter so I make my own schedule when I'm not getting paid for taking care of animals I am volunteering my free time feeding stray animals around the city as well as taking them to vets for medical treatment and finding them loving homes. Your pet will own the house and will be free to do whatever they please. They will be indoors with the back door open with full access to my big fenced backyard.

“Robert was amazing! He was kind, communicative, and incredibly flexible, even accommodating my last-minute booking on New Year’s Eve. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Bernisse and her family were wonderful with Roo! She has excellent dog skills, and Roo got lots of play time. She looked very happy!”

“My dog Hailee loved her time with Cary and Brian. Hailee was thrilled to see me but also a little reluctant to say goodbye to her new friends, and that's a great sign. I can tell she enjoyed her holiday as much as I did. Cary and Brian are really nice, and they have a friendly dog who made an excellent buddy for my fur baby while I was away.”

“Laurie was absolutely amazing with Messi. He is very particular with people but he loved staying with Laurie and Reese. I loved all the updates and pics throughout his stay. Will definitely book again when we have another trip!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience working as a vet technician, so your pup will be in great hands with me. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m only accepting dogs that are good with other pups. I’m comfortable with small to large-sized dogs and always aim to make them feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, or a trip to our local dog park, I make sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening walks and visits, depending on your needs. I’m usually home during the day, especially on weekends, and can provide regular care, playtime, and attention throughout your dog’s stay. Let me know your dog’s routine—I’m happy to stick to their feeding, walking, and potty schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free for them! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background as a vet technician, I know how to handle dogs with care and confidence, and I’m always alert to their needs and behaviors. My two dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and I only accept dogs who get along well with others to keep everyone safe and happy. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and live near a local dog park for fun adventures. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

I can also crate your pets if you request to.

“She was Really Amazing with my Gia❤️ I recommend Suzette to everyone. She paid a lot of attention and kept Gia busy and playing for the four nights She stayed there. Suzette loves all animals and you will feel safe leaving your fur baby with her”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs — from high-energy puppies to sweet senior companions. I'm trained in basic obedience for young dogs, experienced with medication administration, and attentive to special diets or mobility concerns. I believe communication is key, so you’ll always get photo updates and honest check-ins. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or just comforting company, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. I'm recently retired, which means I have extra time on my hands—and I can't think of a better way to spend it than caring for your pets. My days are wide open for long beach walks, fun car rides, and even the occasional pup cup stop (a fan favorite!). Whether your pet needs mid-day playtime, a quiet companion, or a full day of adventures, I’ve got the flexibility to make it happen. My schedule is open and stress-free—just like your pet’s time with me will be! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment with plenty of affection, routine, and supervision—no crowded spaces or overwhelming noise. I keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they feel relaxed and understood. In my home, pets have access to clean, pet-friendly spaces, cozy rest spots, and a fenced outdoor area (or safe leash walks, if preferred). When caring for pets in your home, I respect your routines and follow your care instructions to the letter—because no one knows your pet better than you do.

“Thank you Amelia. The 6 years I’ve had Otis he has never been away from me for more than 2 hours. You made this experience very easy for me. Appreciate the daily updates with pics.”

“Cortney was responsive, sent pictures of my dog throughout the stay. We had a video chat prior to the stay and she showed me her place. She's a delightful person to work with and I would love to ask her to watch my dog again.”
