Entrusting your beloved pets to others can indeed be challenging, which is why we prioritize open and honest communication with our clients. Our pet sitters will ensure you stay updated with regular communication, photos, and videos showcasing your pets' welfare and antics. Rest assured that your pets are in capable and caring hands! While we offer tailored boarding options in a homely setting for specific situations, we firmly believe that pets thrive best in their familiar environments where they feel secure and at ease. Our goal is to deliver top-notch care for your furry companions in their familiar surroundings. We understand that being in a familiar setting reduces stress for pets and provides them with a serene sanctuary while you're away, resulting in a joyous and peaceful reunion upon your homecoming.
However, we acknowledge that not everyone can provide overnight care at their residence, hence we solely organize boarding services on a selective basis. Acknowledging the importance of maintaining your pets' routines, we are dedicated to preserving their daily habits as per their preference. By looking after them in our home setting, we aim to support their regular schedules, allay any worries, and enhance their overall happiness and welfare.

Our Boarding Services
Boarding Requirements
An initial evaluation and submission of vaccine records, particularly for dogs under 2 years of age, are required prior to boarding or enrolling your dog in our doggy daycare services. A meeting will be scheduled at our local private HOA dog park or another agreed upon location, taking into consideration the size and breed of your dog.
Please be advised that we do not conduct home tours for new clients due to the presence of other dogs in our home and the need to protect the territory of our puppy, making socialization with new dogs potentially a negative outcome. Our priority is to maintain a stress-free environment for our current canine residents and avoid introducing unfamiliar people and dogs that may cause unwanted stress or anxiety. Additionally, a half daycare session may be recommended before boarding to ensure your pet's comfort and ability to adapt in your absence.
Boarding rates vary from $65.00/night to $95.00/night, depending on the breed, size, care requirements and temperament of your dog. As a dedicated dog caregiver and small business owner who works from home, we are fully committed to meeting the needs of your pet. It is important to note that we have a 1-year old Great Pyrenees puppy named Gunnar, weighing approximately 105lbs. He is a very gentle and mellow dog, and it is essential that your pets can interact peacefully with him. For this reason, we request a meeting at our private dog park and limit the number of dogs we host to 2-3 at a time. This ensures that each dog receives plenty of care and attention, as well as the opportunity to socialize with our puppy, while also helping to maintain our own well-being.
Dogs staying with us are treated like family and have the freedom to explore both inside and outside our home, without being crated. Our backyard provides a safe and enjoyable environment with a mix of concrete, grass, and a fenced-off dog play area for playtime. There's plenty of shade for resting, a sun deck for basking, and a separate sunny area. Indoors, our home is clean, comfortable, and engaging. Dogs needing quiet time can have a private room to relax and sleep in. During their stay, dogs will receive adequate exercise and rest. We take daily walks along the Arroyo Simi Walking Path in the mornings and evenings, in addition to playtime in our fenced backyard. When indoors, dogs can lounge on cozy couches or cool floors. Our home is air-conditioned, equipped with dog beds, a doggy door, and an open bedroom door for those who prefer to sleep with us. Dogs are encouraged to freely move between indoors and outdoors to alleviate any nervousness or potential confinement anxiety.

Please disclose any current medical or health issues your pet may have.

If parasites are detected while they are staying with us, specific treatment and care costs may be incurred by the owner/guardian.
Accurate information regarding your pet's health is essential to safeguard the welfare of all animals under our supervision. Omitting any health conditions may lead to extra charges or the pet being denied admission. We appreciate your collaboration in ensuring the safety and well-being of all pets during their stay with us.
