Hello, and thank you for reading my profile,
I DO respond immediately, and take last minute reservations when possible. I am usually available, unless my calendar says otherwise. I have enjoyed and been successful working with Dogvacay for almost 3 years, and many years as a dog walker and sitter before that.
My unconditional love for pets is what started this lifestyle choice . Taking care of
dogs (and cats) is now my full time occupation. I am passionate about what I do, and I am always excited to meet new dogs, and their owners!
I am also a Dogvacay "Community Mentor", which means I provide Home Checks and training and advice for new hosts in my neighborhood.
As a professional dog walker, I will provide training on the leash if needed, while staying at my house. You can also hire my service as a dog walker directly on the site.
Please come and visit, and make sure this is the right place for your pup! I am in Manhattan Beach, conveniently located 3 blocks from Sepulveda/PCH for easy drop off on your way to LAX airport.
Bring your dog here for a Vacaytion, while you're on vacation!
Your pup here will have a great time, as I am committed to giving the best service and attention. I only accept up to 3 dogs, and up to 5 dogs during the holidays. My priority is to keep a safe and peaceful environment for all my beloved guests.
I have extensive experience working with all breeds and ages, health issues, post surgery recovery and special diets.
I am adaptable, and have the ability to section the house for very young dogs.
-- Puppies must be at least 4 months old. (after first set of vaccination). --
There are very few stairs around the house, and it is easy for an older dog to find a bed out of the way for well deserved rest.
I can administer oral medication, and happy to learn anything I need to know about your dog!
The huge backyard is surrounded with a high wooden fence, completely enclosed, with lots of shade. The ground is covered with organic wood bark, which seems to fit perfectly. Your dog will be free to roam around the house, play and nap outside and inside. My neighborhood is very quiet. When it's time for a walk, we can go safely around the block, and for more adventure, we can go sniff around the nearby woodchip trail, the strand boardwalk by the beach, the doggie park, the trails of Palos Verdes, and even RUN! My minivan has been transformed into a giant doghouse, so I can drive safely while the dogs sit in the back, with their own area rug, chew toys, water and air conditioning!! Yep.
I am always a phone call or text away, and love to take lots of pictures and videos!
The pricing is sometimes delicate, and I may prefer to send a Custom Quote before accepting your reservation. If you know your drop off and pick up times, please provide this information, with your reservation, so I can make sure to be there for you. My rate is $60/24 hours, and $20 per each additional 8 hour increments. and I will discuss any long term rates personally. Small dog rates available, as well as repeat customers are ALWAYS WELCOME :^D
Give me a call, or email, and book your dog for a Vacay right here on this page.
Cheers!
