Dog Boarding in Vista Santa Rosa, CA

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that your pup isn’t just a pet — they’re family. That’s exactly how I care for every dog that stays with me: with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing structure and playtime, to sweet senior dogs who just want a calm companion and a cozy place to nap. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, giving medication, or simply offering extra snuggles and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is always to make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at home. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish), which helps me communicate with pet parents and follow every little instruction with care. You can count on me to treat your pup as one of my own — with warmth, respect, and lots of tail-wagging joy. 🐾 Español: Como amante de los perros de toda la vida, entiendo que tu perrito no es solo una mascota, es parte de tu familia. Y así es como cuido a cada perrito que llega a mí: con cariño, paciencia y mucho amor. Tengo experiencia cuidando desde cachorritos llenos de energía que necesitan estructura y juego, hasta perritos mayores que buscan tranquilidad y una compañía amorosa. Me tomo el tiempo para conocer la personalidad y las necesidades de cada peludo, ya sea seguir una rutina especial, administrar medicamentos, o simplemente darles apapachos y tranquilidad mientras tú no estás. Mi prioridad es que tu perrito se sienta feliz, seguro y en casa. Además, hablo inglés y español, lo que me permite comunicarme con claridad contigo y seguir cada detalle que me indiques. Puedes confiar en que cuidaré a tu perrito como si fuera mío — con respeto, ternura y mucha alegría perruna. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy. I work from home, which allows me to give my full attention to the dogs I care for throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the yard, quiet cuddle breaks, or sticking to their regular feeding and potty schedule, I’m always present and involved. Because I’m home most of the time, your pup will never be left alone or feel neglected. I’m flexible with schedules and happy to adjust to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and safe, just like they would at home. Español: El cuidado de perritos es parte natural de mi rutina diaria — no es solo algo que hago, es algo que realmente disfruto. Trabajo desde casa, lo que me permite estar presente y atenta a los perritos que cuido durante todo el día. Desde paseos por la mañana, juegos en el jardín, momentos de apapachos, hasta seguir su horario de comida y salidas al baño, siempre estoy ahí para ellos. Como paso la mayor parte del tiempo en casa, tu perrito nunca estará solo ni se sentirá desatendido. Tengo un horario flexible y me adapto fácilmente a la rutina que ya tiene tu peludo, para que se sienta cómodo, tranquilo y como en casa. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust — someone who truly cares for your pup like you would. That’s exactly how I welcome every furry guest into my home. I live with two sweet and friendly dogs: one is 7 years old and full of playful energy, and the other is a gentle 14-year-old who brings calm and balance to our pack. They are both very social and used to sharing their space with new doggy friends. We have a spacious fenced backyard where dogs can explore and relax. The ground is sandy — no grass yet — but it’s safe and fully enclosed. For walks and playtime in grassy areas, we love exploring the green yards around our quiet community, especially in the cooler hours of the day when the sun isn’t too strong. Inside our home, dogs are treated like family — with soft resting spots, fresh water always available, and a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and at ease. And if you’d like, I’m happy to send you daily updates and photos of your pup, so you can feel connected and at peace while you’re away. Español: La seguridad y el bienestar de tu perrito son mi prioridad. Entiendo lo valioso que es dejarlo con alguien que lo cuide con tanto amor como tú, y así es como recibo a cada peludo que llega a mi hogar. Vivo con dos perritos adorables y sociables: uno tiene 7 años y es juguetón y alegre, y el otro tiene 14 años, es tranquilo y transmite mucha paz. Ambos están acostumbrados a convivir con otros perritos y les encanta tener compañía. Contamos con un patio trasero amplio y cercado, con piso de arena (aún no tiene césped), donde pueden moverse y explorar con total seguridad. Además, vivimos en un condominio muy tranquilo con áreas verdes donde salimos a caminar o jugar, especialmente en horas frescas cuando baja el sol. Dentro de casa, los perritos son parte de la familia: tienen lugares cómodos para descansar, agua fresca todo el tiempo, y un ambiente amoroso donde se sentirán tranquilos y cuidados. Si lo deseas, con mucho gusto puedo enviarte fotos y actualizaciones diarias para que te sientas cerca de tu peludo en todo momento.

“Joy is a fantastic caretaker for our Pommy-Pug dog, Brucie. We receive daily photos and always get a response from her in a friendly, helpful manner. Joy appears to truly enjoy what she's doing and loves caring for others' loved dog companions. We are grateful for Joy and will continue to leave Brucie in her care with the utmost of confidence. Thank you, Joy!”

“Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.”

“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”

“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with my sweet puppy! I am an experienced rover sitter myself, and I will say I am impressed! Gloria’s attention to detail was amazing, and her communication skills were some of the best I have had with a pet sitter. My puppy came home extremely happy, she clearly received top notch care and a lot of love during her stay with Gloria! Thank you so much! I will 100% be booking again when I need a sitter.”

“Jenna was wonderful with Grace. Grace was a little nervous at first but warmed up. Jenna even gave her a bath! She looks beautiful. Thank you Jenna. We will definitely call you again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, watch, and love their dogs when they are traveling. I’m currently finishing my masters program online so I have plenty of time to watch/walk your animals. I’m available weekdays and weekends so please reach out! Your dogs will be safe in my home and I am available to stay at your house if needed. I also have a 6 year old Boston terrier that will keep your pet company when I run errands.

“This was our first time using Rover instead of boarding and our experience was fantastic. Brandon sent texts twice a day with pictures on how Lola was doing. We were able to enjoy our stay in palm springs without worrying about Lola. If we stay in palm springs again we will definitely use again.”

“Joan and her husband were a godsend for us! In town for only a month we wanted to get away for an overnight trip and they took in Gizmo as their own. Joan kept me informed of Gizmo and took some of the best pics ever. I was at peace with their care of him and we had a great trip. Thank you Joan!”

“Ana was wonderful. As any pet mom knows it can be really traumatic leaving their pet even if it is for just one night. If you have to leave your furry loved one, your pet will be in great hands with Ana. She always communicated with me on a timely basis as well as keeping me updated with photos of my baby. I highly recommend Ana!”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life ever since I received my chihuahua (Dutchess) at the age of six. I have such a deep passion for animals and find fulfillment in taking care of our furry friends. I currently work part time at New Wave Home Audio and Video part time but I am free every afternoon, evening, and weekends to fit into any schedule. I have a very large fenced in yard with a pool and a little dachshund to be a companion if your fur baby prefers. I can also crate large and small dogs and have plenty of space to separate animals as needed

“Tammy did a great job with our pup. She was flexible with us and our travel plans, kept us updated on our pup during his stay, helped us out when we ran out of food, and was super friendly at drop off and pickup. Our pup turned back and watched her go like he would miss being with her.”

“Sierra helped us out last minute when our other sitter canceled! She was wonderful with our senior girl! Sent great updates and photos often. When we picked our dog up she seemed well taken care of and like she didn’t miss us too much which is a great sign! Will totally use Sierra again when we’re visiting the area.”

Madeline B.

“SJ is truly amazing. She has watched our old man French Bulldog multiple times. She leaves our home CLEANER then we left it! She is a great communicator and sends updates on the pup throughout our trip. Knowing SJ is with our dog and caring for our home while we are away gives up ease to enjoy ourselves on our trip. She is an absolute gem!”

About: I volunteer with rescue organizations and help reunite lost pups with their humans. I have been dog sitting since I was very young and have experience with puppies to seniors. My pup is about to be 15 this fall. I have a very flexible work schedule and often telework. Flexibility is essential when caring for and loving-on our furry friends, and my life is flexible. I have a pet-safe home and an enclosed backyard. My neighborhood is also pet-friendly with several walking trails. My current pets are all friendly and well-trained.

“Julie was excellent! Charlotte had a great time came home exhausted from having so much fun! Great communication and easy going it was a wonderful experience! We would definitely recommend Julie and happily rebook with her if it works out again in the future!”
