Dog Boarding West Park

About: I am a owner of two maltese dogs and understand the hard work and care necessary for keeping a pet. I am a trusted and involved pet sitter in my family/friend circle. From Lovebirds to active Huskies, I have looked after them all! The key characteristics that I am qualified with are patience, attentiveness, communication, and attention to detail. Additionally, I am a second year Animal Science major at UC Davis. Many of my courses involve hands-on animal handling and husbandry knowledge. I understand that pets are family, and it's essential they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in my pet sitting or dog walking services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full time student. I work my schedule around classes each quarter. During this Fall quarter I am primarily available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 4:00pm. I am also available for mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7am - 12pm. Weekends I am flexible and open! My apartment is a peaceful, pet-friendly haven! We’re right next to green spaces and the arboretum, making it ideal for long, relaxing walks. Although I share the space with three roommates, we are all dog lovers who maintain a quiet, calm lifestyle. For in-home pet sitting I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar space. I maintain a low-key routine, ensuring your home stays quiet and your pet receives dedicated attention, regular outdoor exercise, and consistent care. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and a relaxing place to feel right at home.

“Michelle was great and super accommodating. We last minute had to extend our pup's stay by a couple days and she was happy to keep her. Michelle sent pictures regularly and kept us updated. I will absolutely bring our pup back to her and would recommend her to anyone looking for doggie care.”

“Ann was amazing with my high energy dogs - medium labradoodle and Portuguese Water Dog. She was very communicative during our time away and my dogs every need was met, including medications. I will absolutely use Ann again - five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was born. Now, I have worked as a vet assistant for 6 years in both general practice and oncology. I have helped with emergencies for all kinds of breeds and done overnight care several times. I also work and volunteer at shelters consistently so I know how to deal with animal stress. I have never met an animal I didn't love no matter its personality and demeanor so I know they are in good hands. I am a college student but have gaps in my day to go back to my apartment and take them out. I would never leave a pet at home for more than 2 hours and live with just my fiance and I also well equipped in pet care, but I will be doing the caregiving. I love every furry friend and it would be a joy rather than a chore to help care for each pet. I am well versed in medication administration, feeding, playtime, small training activities, and more. Depending on the breed or species, I would ensure I am thorough with each pets need and go from there whether thats exercise and play or just chilling on the couch.

“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”

“Minhan was extremely nice and helpful from the start. She was very concerned about Fizzy's well-being, especially since Fizzy spent some time hiding under the bed at first. She came out fairly quickly though, and Minhan was very good about sending me photos, videos, and updates. Leaving Fizzy in Minhan's care was a great experience and I will definitely use her services again.”

“Jonathan stepped up to watch our 3.5 month old puppy overnight and it was a very positive experience. Jonathan is kind and enthusiastic, and our puppy was well cared for.”

“I haven’t left Kaia with a sitter in years. I originally was so nervous to leave her. Mya relieved my worries with daily messages and pictures of her and Kaia. I was very pleased!”

About: 12+ years of animal sitting (primarily dogs but also cats and small critters!) Currently volunteer at an animal shelter (very experienced and comfortable with animals on many different behavior levels) I am comfortable walking, running, feeding, playing, training, cleaning and more for your pet! I love all animals and would love to help out where I can:) I only work part time so I am pretty available to taking care of your pets whenever needed! I can do daily check ins or sitting- whatever you and your family wants. I have a fenced yard and a friendly gentle dog if you’re boarding with me, but I can also housesit and care for both your pets and your home!

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”

Cherrone S.

“First time using Rover and Aida was great!! She accommodated our needs for our babies and always provided updates, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

Francisco L.

“We were very happy that Luna and Loki were well cared for and that they adjusted well to Brandee and her house. We will keep her in mind the next time we need a sitter. Thank you much, Brandee.”

Roland and Carol F.

“She was very patient and kind with my dog Maple who is still figuring out her own routine. Constantly updated and asked questions to make sure that Maple was getting proper care and made her feel welcomed.”

Trevor S.

“Martha and her family are just the best!! I felt super comfortable and at ease leaving Roxy with them. Roxy enjoyed her time with them and became friends with pup. I will definitely be booking them for any future bookings”

“Kathleen was so reassuring and responsive to my many check in’s during Coco’s boarding. It made going away less stressful and Coco had a blast.”

Liza O.

“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”

About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! (Of the same type i.e. dog/dog or cat/cat). If you have any questions please reach out and ask about certain policies or pricing rates I try to be as accommodating as possible! I have pet-friendly resident pets, including a happy-go-lucky dog named Bear and a relaxed cat named Bowie. Also have the means to keep all animals seperated if your pet doesn't enjoy companions! For cat boarding I have a seperate cat room setup where your companion/s can enjoy a fresh water fountain, a cat tower, many cat toys, and a personal litterbox during their stay. For dog boarding I require a meet and greet to make sure your dog/s are compatible with mine, for doggy day-care it isn't necessary as I can keep them seperate. Regardless of compatibility I take animals safety very seriously and your pet/s will never be left unsupervised with any of other animals during their time in my care. I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

“I finally found someone who takes care of Sophie the way I do. Sophie adores her and has made friends with her cats. Sophie will be staying with Lizzy again when the need arises. Thank you for being very good and loving to Sophie. That was a 5 star service!”
