Dog Boarding in McKinleyville

“Christopher is kind, attentive, and patient. I left my little guy Simba with him for 6 days. I received photos and videos everyday of Simba running and or sleeping. When I picked him up he was calm and happy. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will be back.”

“I highly recommend Whitney! I needed a place for my dog to stay while I was out of town and she took Rena to the dog park every day and sent me pictures and videos which was very appreciated. She will take really good care of your pup and she even let me add an extra day on short notice! It was worth every penny ??”

“Hailey was great with Macchi! Solid communications, lots of play and exercise time, and flexible in scheduling and drop off/pickup. She knew how to manage my reactive dog and keep her comfortable. Definitely will book her for future trips!”

“Lauren is wonderful at caring for dogs and her place is a dog spa!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable , caring and patient sitter. I have a 130lb Great Dane who has separation anxiety and is high maintenance. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter to put your mind at rest on your travels. 5 ⭐️”

“Outstanding pet sitter. Granted my old man is almost 13 and easy peasy but Emma still went above and beyond. 100% would recommend. Her doggos are wonderful too.”

“Halley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Roxy, my Great Dane who, let’s be honestly, is an absolute handful. I’ve honestly never seen her so happy after a weekend away from home! 10/10 :)”

“Carter did a great job taking care of my management-intensive dog. Lots of walks and play time, appropriate amount of good communication, meds on schedule, and Macchi came home happy and looking good. Will definitely use his services again in the future.”

“Jamie & Katarzyna are awesome! They took care of my 12 year old puppy like she was their own. I will definitely be using them again. Thanks a million J & K!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I spent six years working with animals full time in pet grooming salons and dog daycares, providing overnight care for our dog clients in my home, housesitting in their homes, and making mid-day visits for walks. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. My current job is not related to animals, but I work from my laptop and have flexible hours. In my free time I love learn and practice dog training with my own dog. **I love dogs and cats, but I also have a wide variety of experience with small pets and livestock of all sizes!** Whether housesitting in your home or hosting your dog in my home, my schedule allows me to be with your pet close to 24/7, which is great for puppies, elderly pets, pets with separation anxiety, and the pet who is used to being spoiled. I offer dog boarding and dog daycare in my home, located in McKinleyville on 1.5 acres. We also share our property with my eight month old Boston Terrier, a dog savvy indoor/outdoor cat, and free range chickens. For boarding and daycare, a quick meet-and-greet is required before hand. Dog guests are typically kept on leash until I know they can be trusted to not chase the chickens, but we can still enjoy the yard in the mornings and evenings when the chickens are sleeping. I am available for visits to your home of any length while you're away, whether that is for an hour during the day while you're at work or social events, or extended stays while you're out of town. My well behaved eight month old Boston Terrier who is available daytime visits if your pet would enjoy her company. For overnight housesitting, a meet-and-greet is required before hand as she would be joining in your home. I also have special experience with elderly dog care, dogs with mobility issues, giving medication, puppies, dog training and maintaining good habits, grooming, cats, and grooming cats! Did I miss something? Just ask! My day job is full time, remote, and very flexible, so whether your pet is in my home and I am in your home, I will be keeping them company. Other than a couple of evening dog training classes, I don't have many away from home obligations that would leave your pet or home unattended. In the rare times I need to leave my home or yours during our time together, dogs are welcome to join me in the car, weather permitting, or can be kennel in my home or yours, follow your usual routine, etc. I am used to and love the constant companionship of pets. I have a lot of experience managing dog's needs in and out of the house. If you have specific routines, rules, and exercise plans you follow with your pet, I will happily follow them. I will treat your pet like they are my own when they are in my care, and to me that means making them feel safe and loved.

“Amber took excellent care of Frank and Roscoe. She sent lots updates and pictures. I felt very comfortable knowing that the were in good hands.”

“Sofia took care of our 2 Frenchies and she was great with them, she send me updates and pictures. Very professional but also very caring. I will definitely book her again when needed.”

“I’ve known Max for years and it’s been a huge relief having someone of her quality in my world. She is reliable, professional, kind and absolutely incredible with pets. I’ve had her watch my pets (two cats and one dog) multiple times so that I can go out of town for work. They love her and my animals are more on the timid side, I also have her babysit my 10-year-old daughter because she is trustworthy, considerate and extremely competent. Max grew up with a lot of animals and is naturally very gifted with them. I would highly recommend her for pet, sitting, pet care, and honestly anything regarding your animals!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. Whether they are mine, families or friends pets. Caring for dogs his something that has always been apart of my schedule. I am currently working overnight shifts with UPD. I love to spend my days outside with my own pets and i am super excited to start including your pets along in the fun! I have a pit bull of my own that can keep your fur baby company. If you would prefer your dog be kept separate during your booking that is completely fine as well. I do have two spare bedrooms in my home and a huge fenced backyard. Regardless your pet will always feel safe and comfortable while in my home.

“Will loves dogs. Generally he loves all pets, he tried to pretend he didn’t like the cat, but I see him secretly snuggling with her. Will is caring and trustworthy and responsible. He will take good care of your pet and give them lots of love and attention.”

“My dog loved this place, he got to run and play with other dogs and didnt want to come home. Robert and his dogs are awesome.”

“Neil and Mariah both took such great care of Goose :) they sent me pictures and videos of him to show me he was fitting in really well with their little pack of pups. Goose is high energy, so I’m always nervous to leave him, but they helped me feel at ease leaving him with them, I definitely recommend them!”

“Kristina was really great. We had a pretty terrible experience last time we used Rover, so we were really apprehensive about using it again. I’m glad we did, because Kristina was the best sitter we’ve had yet. Super responsive, flexible, and sent a ton of updates. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again”

“Brian is a wonderful dog sitter or dog walker! He loves every dog and makes every dog feel loved. He takes lots of walks and lets dogs have just enough freedom to have a great time without getting in trouble. Brian is really good with dogs that have special needs, including elder dogs or dogs with medical issues. Brian is a rock solid caregiver for all dogs!”

“What a great experience! We have an 8 month old, high energy Labrador that is my husbands baby! Not so much mine, so when he has to leave her with me I panic. Trying to care for an 80 yr old frail mother and watch her is more than I can handle. Found Rover.com and Sonja and what a relief. She loved her like family, lots of room to run on the mountain. Sonja took her to the beach with her playful dog twice…wore her out! Yay! Sent lots of photos, some videos and kept in good contact. Picked Baylee up and she slept the 2 1/2 drive home! Will be coming back. Thank you Sonja!”

“Gaby took wonderful care of my two dogs! She is very trustworthy and truly cares about dogs. She made sure to give them lots of snuggles and she did a great job!”
