Dog Boarding Willow Springs

“Melissa and her family provided my dog with excellent care and support during her stay with them. My dog was embraced as being part of Melissa’s family. Melissa took the time to write status notes and periodically send videos and photos of my dog. This helped ease any anxiety associated with leaving my dog with a dog sitter.”

“Alice and John were very hospitable and took great care of my dog. They were very communicative with sending pictures and videos during her stay. Alice and John accommodated Spices routines and quirks and made a comfy home away from home. Would recommend for others looking for a home away from home for their dog and would board Spices at their house again in the future.”

Myles seemed to really enjoy himself and had lots of play time. I would definitely recommend Monica she is definitely the sitter. Myles will definitely be back !”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m an avid lifelong dog lover who works from home full time. Our home features a spacious, secure fully fenced backyard where dogs can run freely. I have extensive experience caring for happy pups of all life stages, from high-energy puppies who need consistent potty training to seniors who require gentle care and medication management. My husband and I have a lively, dog-loving home with two friendly pups and a toddler under two. Because of this, we only accept guest dogs who are known to be comfortable and gentle around young children. We also proudly offer long-term boarding for military deployments and extended work travel. We are familiar with the military lifestyle and offer flexible boarding for both short-term TDYs and long-term deployments. Having two dogs of our own, we provide a stable 'pack' environment where your pup becomes a temporary member of our family for as long as you're away. Whether for a weekend or six months, your dog will receive close supervision, daily play, and all the love they deserve! I'm currently working from home so I'm very active and available to the dogs when they need me. They typically like to nap in the office or sunbathe outside while I'm working, and during my breaks we often play in the backyard or go for a quick walk. Once I'm off work there's more playtime in the backyard before dinner and bedtime. Our two friendly dogs love making new friends and are great at welcoming guests into our pack. We always offer a quick Meet & Greet in our spacious backyard to ensure everyone’s personality meshes perfectly before the stay. This allows us to see how our dogs and my child interact with your pup before we confirm a stay. For long-term stays (30+ days), I often suggest an extended Meet & Greet to make sure your pup feels fully comfortable before your departure.

About: As a dedicated pet caregiver with over five years of personal experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of varying breeds, including German Shepherds and terriers. My approach centers on providing loving, gentle care that ensures your dog feels right at home. I understand the importance of maintaining your dog’s existing routine, which is why I offer a structured schedule tailored specifically to your needs. From regular exercise to grooming services, I aim to make your dog’s experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I truly value the companionship that dogs offer, and I’m committed to giving them the attention and care they deserve. As an online college student, I have the flexibility to offer open availability for pet care. My schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s for regular check-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests. I’m able to adjust my time to suit your dog’s routine and ensure they receive consistent care whenever needed. My home is a cozy and welcoming space for your dog to feel completely comfortable. Both my living room and bedroom are open to them, and they’re free to relax on the furniture, including my bed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for peaceful walks, and I’m just a short stroll away from a lovely park where your dog can enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise.

“Brian was great. Treated my dogs like his own. Sent pictures which was nice, so I could see them playing in the back yard or chilling on the couch. Overall great experience.”

About: I’ve been working with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments for 5 years. Having been a training and using my knowledge on how to build solid foundation and structure to have trust, respect and love from the dogs that I have come to meet. I’m available the majority of the week. This gives me opportunity to have the dogs socialize in groups or on walks during the day. I can drop off or pick up at an owners home if I’m able to, but I’m also open to meet people half way if it makes things easier. Depending on the group I may have that day, I like to have them all in a play group. After I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood or depending giving field trips to the park since I live close by. In the afternoon they get a nap time, usually if they get lunch I wait for them to rest before they revive their food. When nap time is over they return outside, back into play groups. Then the process repeats where they get another nap time, play time and then dinner if they receive one. I am also available to work around a specific routine or schedule may have for their own dog. My goal at the end of the day is for the dogs to receive good exercise, enriching social time and enjoy their rest period. A tired dog is a happy dog. Understanding that each dog is different and not all dogs have the same energy level, I try and give each dog the right amount attention they deserve to make them feel fulfilled and happy.

About: I have a lot of education with dogs. In high school I attended a Scroc Pet boarding class and also went to Animal Behavior College. I worked at Pet Boarding and Spa in Lomita, California.

I am familiar with all dog breeds . I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have distributed medicine to dogs often. I tend to take care of animals with all my heart, and love them within seconds of meeting them and would do anything for them. I believe I am the best choice for your pets needs.

About: I’ve been around dogs ranging from chihuahuas and frenchies to Great Danes and German shepherds. I’ve never know a day without animals they’re my whole world.

About: I am on Kern County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, I am fingerprinted and background vetted. So your animals and property would be well protected. I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young girl. I also worked at a veterinary hospital while I was in high school, which fueled my passion for animals. Family, friends and neighbors have all relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. Whether it's dropping dogs off at my home or me staying at their house to provide a calming, reassurance to your pet while they were gone. I am currently retired. So I have plenty of time to look in on your pet, take them for walks, give them love and nuzzles. Or just come and peek in on them and make sure they have plenty of food and water and that they are okay. Some animals that I take care of do not care for people to stick around in their home. So I just check on them several times a day and make sure they're doing okay. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pups and keep them active. I can easily create if need be.

“Anastasiya was amazing with Bleu. My friend was unable to watch Bleu last minute as I was going out of town and Anastasiya was willing to meet and greet with us as well as take Bleu for the entire week I was away. She kept me updated on Bleu each day and sent photos of her getting along with the other dogs. It gave me piece of mind knowing that Bleu was having her own vacation with lots of friends to play with!”

“Brenda has always been great! I’ve booked with her the last few years and keep rebooking with her. She is quick to respond and provides great updates while I’m away. Thanks Brenda!!”
