A family home in Turtle Rock, Irvine

In-home dog boarding in Irvine, with care that feels personal.

Your dog stays in a family home with Igor and Zamira. We learn their routine, take neighborhood walks, and send updates while you are away.

Texting is our preferred first step. We confirm first stays only after meeting you and your dog. Tapping Text opens a draft in your Messages app. Nothing is sent until you press send. Your number and message come to us. See our Privacy Policy.

How a first stay works

1. Text or inquire

Tell us your dates, every dog, and their care needs.

2. Meet in Turtle Rock

We arrange a meet and greet near University High School.

3. Review the stay

We discuss behavior, routines, availability, and the complete quote.

4. Confirm personally

Your stay is reserved only after we confirm it with you.

A familiar rhythm

Walks, rest, and attention

We follow the routine we discuss with you before the stay. Tell us about meals, favorite activities, energy level, medication instructions, and what helps your dog settle in. We share photos and messages so you can see how they are doing.

Clear care, clear pricing

Boarding is $50 per 24-hour day, year-round. An additional half-day is $25. Daycare is $40 per day. No extra fees. For several dogs, send one inquiry and we will provide the complete quote before confirmation.

A request does not reserve a stay.

Can I inquire about two or more dogs?

Yes. Put every dog and the complete date range in one inquiry. We will review their needs together and quote the full stay.

Where do we meet?

We arrange a convenient meeting in Turtle Rock near University High School and send the details directly.

What should I tell you?

Each dog’s age, size, routine, behavior with people and dogs, feeding, mobility or medication needs, plus your arrival and departure dates.

All guests must be up to date on rabies, DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza), and Bordetella (kennel cough). Please share your veterinarian's records before the first stay.
