Boarding in my home or sitting in yours?
Boarding at my place, $80/night
Your dog stays with me in my Pasadena home, in a normal house rather than a kennel run. Only one household's dogs are here at a time. Best for sociable, adaptable dogs, and it drops to $70 a night once you hit five nights, so it is the better value for travel weeks.
How boarding works →Sitting at your place, $100/night
I come to you and stay overnight, so your pets keep their own beds, smells and routine. Best for anxious dogs, seniors, multi-pet homes, and cats or small pets who should not travel. Full 24-hour in-home care is $200 a day, subject to availability.
How overnight sitting works →Not sure which fits? Tell me about your dog at the free meet and greet and I will give you a straight recommendation, even if it is the cheaper option. Need cover for the working day instead of the night? That is doggy daycare, $80 for a day of 5 hours or more and $50 for a shorter day. If an overnight sitting stay runs past 8 AM, the extra daytime care follows those same $50 and $80 tiers.

A morning and evening potty trip, a proper walk, feeding exactly to your instructions with your own food, playtime and rest in the house, medication if needed, and a photo plus a short written note every day.
Is boarding cheaper than overnight sitting in my home?
Boarding starts at $80 a night, or $70 a night for stays of five nights or more. Overnight sitting in your home is $100 a night from approximately 8 PM to 8 AM. It costs more because I come to you and your pets stay in their own home.

No deposit. Payment is by Venmo, Zelle, cash, or credit and debit card via invoice, settled at the end of the stay unless we agree otherwise.
What happens if I cancel a boarding stay?
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the stay begins are charged the full rate. Earlier than that, there is no charge.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can. I board one household's dogs at a time, so dates are first come, first served, and Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and summer travel weeks fill earliest.
Do you board cats or small pets?
Boarding in my home is for dogs. Cats and small pets are covered by drop-in check-ins or overnight sitting in your own home, where they keep their own space and routine.
Ready to book a stay?
Send your dates and I will confirm within 24 hours. New clients get a free 30-minute meet and greet first, so your dog has already met me before the first night.
